LOS ANGELES - Check back throughout the day for updates from Los Angeles as Washington prepares to play in the Pac-10 Tournament. The No. 3 Huskies take on No. 7 seed Oregon at 8:30 p.m. tonight.
Friday, 2:30 p.m. - The Huskies are working on their scout for tonight's game against a hungry and desperate Oregon Ducks team. They need to win the Pac-10 Tournament to make the post-season, so expect them to give the Huskies their best shot tonight at the Staples Center.
Gregg Bell recorded a quick video snippet for GoHuskies.com, plus he answers some frequently asked questions under the video:
Gregg Bell
Answering Your Huskies Hoops Questions
Why don't the Huskies press all the time?
Why do they shoot so many 3s?
Why did it take until the Pac-10 tournament for Terrence Ross to start?
I hear you. I hear all your howls, your curiosity. I can almost see you, the 2,500 of you across the world who joined our live game chat Thursday night, pulling your hair out through the internet.
That's the thing about talent: It's marvelous when it's working - as it did for Washington in the second half of Thursday night's 89-87 comeback win over Washington State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 tournament. It's maddening when it's not - as in February's loss to Oregon (16-16), the Dawgs' opponent Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in the Pac-10 semifinals at Staples Center.
Thursday's thriller was too wild, too frantic at the end, to answer all of those questions. Besides, it was well past most bedtimes when we all finally had a chance to breathe, after UW rallied from 13 down in the first half and seven down in the second half to overcome 43 points by WSU's Klay Thompson.
So now that we've all exhaled, here are some behind-the-scenes answers to the questions you've asked, based on the time I spend with the team in the locker room, at practice, at the team hotel and right behind the timeout huddles.
Consider this your own, all-access pass to Huskies' March Madness:
1. The Huskies looked the wondrous Dawgs of old when they went into the full-court press coming out of halftime Thursday, going on a 10-0 run to take their first lead. So why in the name of Bobby Jones doesn't coach Lorenzo Romar put on the press more?
A: Sure, Romar would love to press teams from tipoff to time expired. But the suspension of Venoy Overton, the loss of Abdul Gaddy for the season to knee surgery in January and Justin Holiday's battered body have depleted UW's guard depth. And it takes waves of guards and substitutions to sustain 94 feet of trapping, pressure defense for 40 minutes - or even 15. Lacking that depth, Romar is forced to pick his spots to use the press. That's how Isaiah Thomas was able to play all 40 minutes for the first time in his career Thursday. He could not have done that while pressing the entire time. Equally important, it takes made baskets to set up the press, to get each defender in the right place while the opponent inbounds the ball. Until the second half Thursday, the Huskies had been plagued by cold shooting for most of the last month. It's tough to press off missed shots.
2. Why do the Huskies shoot so many 3-point shots? It's not like they have Pete Maravich.
A. As point guard Isaiah Thomas told me late Thursday night after he had 21 points and 11 assists, the plan against WSU was to spread the floor to stretch the Cougars out of their packed-in zone defense. That's likely to be the plan again tonight against Oregon, which exclusively played zone in the Ducks' win over UW last month. In fact, the book on playing the Huskies right now is to pack in a zone, deny Thomas' drives and Bryan-Amaning's looks and slow UW into a half-court game. So two and sometimes three Huskies stand on or near the 3-point line as Thomas attempts to drive into the teeth of that zone. Thomas then either feeds Matthew Bryan-Amaning down low, finds his own chances or kicks the ball out to the wings for often open shots. Romar doesn't mind such open shots. This is partly why Ross started for the first time Thursday, and is likely to against Oregon - to get his shooting on the wing early. When teams play man-to-man against UW, such as UCLA, the Huskies come off the 3-point line, run their offense through the lane, and it all looks smooth and fluid. When the 3s don't fall, as they haven't for the last month, it looks ugly. Washington's rally forced WSU out of their zone, then Thomas and Bryan-Amaning (16 points, 7 rebounds) scorched the Cougars in the lane -- and UW had its huge win.
3. Ross is so explosive offensively, such a potentially prolific scorer, yet he played zero minutes last weekend against USC and just 4 against UCLA the game before. Why doesn't he play more?
A. Ross, by the way, told me late Thursday night that he was "shocked" when Romar told him Monday he was starting. Ninety-two percent of you who responded to my chat poll during the game loved the change. Why did it take so long? One word: Defense. As amazing as Ross can be and sometimes is on offense - 17 points against WSU, makes on five of his first seven shots and an amazing crossover move in the open floor for a score that had the Staples Center crowd gasping - he won't play consistent, front-line minutes until he plays consistent Romar-style, man-to-man D. That means moving his feet more, being in the right place at the right time and boxing out his man on rebounding. He was lax in all three of those areas at different times Thursday night, especially in the first half. But he is showing flashes of improvement - his help side blocked shot on DeAngelo Casto in the WSU game was highlight stuff. Romar has said Ross could go from typical freshman inconsistency to an all-Pac-10 player as a sophomore, that he's the most physically gifted player on the team. Look for him to start again tonight, as Romar tries to keep his hot shooting going.
4. Is Overton here? And will he play in the NCAA tournament?
A. I know this is older news, but I got a ton of questions on this last night. Yes, Venoy is with the team. He is sitting on the bench in team street clothes - a purple UW polo shirt Thursday night. And Coach Romar has already said his senior point guard will return for the NCAA tournament.
5. Speaking of, are the Huskies in?
A. I thought they were in the NCAA tournament before Thursday night. That wildly entertaining, one-point loss at conference regular-season champion Arizona on national television a couple weeks ago, to me, cemented their place in the tournament. But the players - who always rally around the us-versus-the-world mentality - are choosing to turn the Pac-10 tournament into a quest to eliminate all doubt by winning the conference's automatic bid. "We are trying to get in the NCAA tournament, but we want to win a championship," Thomas said. At the risk of sounding like a beggar being a chooser, the trick now for UW is to play its way into a seed higher than eight or nine. An eight or nine seed would mean a second-round matchup with a region's top seed, perhaps a Kansas, Ohio State, Pittsburgh or Duke. A 10 seed, or even the 11 the dissed Huskies got as the Pac-10 tournament champions last March, is better than an eight or a nine.
6. What do these guys do down here?
A. We are in sunny, downtown Los Angeles, in a fancy hotel attached the new, hip L.A. Live entertainment complex built around Staples Center. But honestly, the Huskies could be anywhere In Anytown USA. They get up around 9 - or Friday, at 10, after the game ended at 11 p.m. Thursday - have a team breakfast in a hotel meeting room, then a 60- to 90-minute study hall led by a member of UW's academic support staff who made the trip. This is the last week of classes before exams for the winter quarter next week, and many players have term papers due. Many also have tests on Monday when we get back. After studying, the team boards a bus for afternoon shootaround practices at local gyms. Thursday is was Price High School in South Central L.A., the private school sophomore forward Tyreese Breshers attended. Friday it was the Galen Center at USC a few blocks south of the hotel. They work the scouting report on the opponent for about an hour in the light workout, then came back to the hotel for some film work, rest and a team meal four hours before tipoff. Then, more rest, watching hoops in their rooms, and a short walk in full uniform an hour before the game across a fan plaza and under the Nokia Theater into Staples Center for the game.
7. Why was Big Dawg Jake Locker sitting in a corner section cheering on his Huskies Thursday, instead of at center court? After all, he is about to become a multimillion NFL quarterback - if there still is an NFL after this week(!)
A. The Pac-10 explained to us that member schools are assigned tickets for the tournament in rotating sections around Staples Center. Last year, UW's seats were at center court. This year, the Huskies' allotments are in a corner opposite the benches (on the same side as the TV cameras that are providing your view at home). Next year, UW's fans will be behind one of the benches, more in the middle. The reason the Huskies will be on the bench to your left as you watch on TV Friday night, opposite the bench they were on last night, is because Oregon's fans are behind that other bench so the Ducks get that one versus Washington. If you wondered or cared.
Thanks for asking, and for joining the chat. It's fun. I will be there tonight, right behind the Huskies' bench, and we will again have a video report before the game here on GoHuskies.com.
Friday, 11:45 a.m. - Wow! What a game last night! That said, there is no time to celebrate.
The Huskies piled out of the Staples Center as quickly as they could following last night's thrilling -- and rejuvenating -- 89-87 win over Washington State. They were greeted by Brad McDavid and the Husky Band in the underbelly of the Staples Center by whooping cheers and applause as they exited the building.
The group wolfed down a quick postgame snack at the hotel and then headed to their rooms for some much needed rest.
Wakeup call today was at 10:00 a.m. and breakfast was at 10:30. Oregon, Washington State and Arizona were all around in their assigned rooms eating breakfast at the same time.
While Isaiah Thomas conducted a phone interview with a Seattle radio station in a back hallway, Reggie Moore yelled from a distance, 'Zeke, I just saw Lane Kiffin in the elevator!' Thomas momentarily forgot what he was doing and starting walking to the elevator to get a glimpse, but recovered his thoughts and continued on with his interview.
After breakfast, the team hit the books. Finals week is right around the corner and despite the importance of the games over the next 10 days, school still comes first.
The team has film at 1:00 p.m. and then heads to shoot around at the Galen Center. Check back later for a "FAQ-session" that Gregg Bell has gathered from his live chats during games.
Thursday, 3:45 p.m. - The team just returned from shootaround at Price HS in Los Angeles, the alma mater of Tyreese Breshers. Numerous visitors popped their head in to say hi to the retired Husky and he seemed to definitely be in his element.
The Huskies got down to business and worked on some plays and the scout for Washington State. A familiar face was back in the fold for the Huskies -- senior Justin Holiday. He participated in the entire 60 minute session and looked sharp throughout.
The Huskies were loose during their practice, but seem focused and ready to try to exact revenge for two earlier losses vs. Washington State. They'll relax in their rooms for an hour or so before meeting up again for team dinner.
Below is a video of Gregg Bell prior to the Huskies' shootaround.
Thursday, 11:45 a.m. - Good morning Husky fans!
The team arrived at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in downtown at L.A. Live and immediately gathered for a team dinner. They then spend 30 minutes in film study and from there, headed to their rooms for lights out.
It is an interesting dynamic at the hotel as all 10 teams are staying at the J.W. Marriott. Each team is assisgned a floor where their block of rooms are, but all 10 teams have their meetings and meals on the same floor -- just in different rooms. So, you can hop on an elevator at any given time with players, coaches and staff members from multiple schools. For the most part, it's a quiet ride!
Today, the players were given a 9:30 a.m. wake up call and breakfast was at 10:00 a.m. From what I observed, OSU, Oregon, Arizona and UCLA were all on a similar schedule and having their breakfasts at the same time.
Immediately following breakfast, the Husky players headed back to their rooms and grabbed their backpacks and books and headed back to their meeting room for study tables. Next week is finals week at Washington, so the guys were hard at work.
The next activity for the Huskies is shoot around at 2 p.m. at Price High School, where Tyreese Breshers matriculated. The Dawgs went to the same gym last season, so hopefully it proves to be the good luck charm again.
For those curious, the shootaround will also be where Justin Holiday will give it a go and see if he can play tonight against Washington State.
We'll report back later and tell you how things are going.
Go Dawgs!!

An Asheboro man has claimed a $1 million Powerball prize for a ticket he bought at a convenience store in southern Davidson County.
Terry Gray says he plans to use his Powerball prize from the Saturday drawing to save for his future retirement, according to a press release from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
"I pulled up the numbers on the computer and said to my wife, 'That's a million dollars,'" Gray said. "I had to look at it a few times. It's just luck, that's all I can tell you. It feels really good."
Gray received a check for $680,001 after state and federal taxes were withheld. He purchased his winning ticket at Kelly's 49 on Old N.C. Highway 49 in Denton.

Mind the (Teeth) Gap — And Other Hazards of Body Piercings
Not that we ever had an impulse to consider piercing anything but an ear, but if we had, the research that crossed our desk this week would pretty much have killed it. Two reports illustrate some of the potential hazards of making holes in body parts that are perhaps better off left in their virgin state. But we'll let you be the judge of that.
First, there was a case study by researchers at the University at Buffalo published in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, dealing with a 26-year-old woman who developed a gap between her two front teeth because of a barbell tongue piercing. Specifically, the gap occurred because she played with the piercing in her mouth. (A common behavior among the tongue-pierced, according to another Buffalo study.)
Sawsan Tabbaa, first author of the study and an assistant professor of orthodontics at the UB School of Dental Medicine, says the patient brought photos taken before the piercing — no space. After seven years with the tongue-piercing, there was a gap exactly as wide as the diameter of the stud, Tabbaa tells the Health Blog. "I told her, 'I will not treat you until you take this thing out,'" she says. The patient did so, and braces closed the gap.
Plenty of other side effects have also been associated with tongue-piercing, including other teeth and gum problems, pain and swelling, local infection, chewing problems, nerve damage, scar tissue, aspiration of the stud and even brain abscesses. Just attempting the procedure may cause problems, as it did for the 17-year-old boy who is the subject of a 2006 case study published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and evocatively titled "Loss of a Sewing Needle in the Tongue During Attempted Tongue Piercing."
Separately, a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons looked at the risk factors behind the development of breast abscesses in women. Smoking was a biggie, but so was nipple piercing. And abscesses took as long as seven years post-piercing to develop, the authors write. They hypothesize that the association is due to the presence of a foreign body, which can be a site of infection and/or scarring from the piercing that interferes with ductal drainage. (We say: Yow.)
Nipple piercing has also been associated with mastitis, abnormal milk production and breastfeeding, and toxic shock syndrome.
"We propose that nipple piercing is not a benign procedure, and potential risks should be explained to women, particularly young women, who are at risk in this population," the authors — from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine — write.
And that's pretty much the message Tabbaa wants to get out about tongue-piercing — there are risks to what may seem to be a benign procedure. "I tell my patients, 'Go put three or five holes in your ear, but don't pierce your tongue,'" says Tabbaa.

A rambling from Madagascar: some positive notes despite all
Madafan is not the know-it-all about Madagascar (the motto "discover Madagascar" also applies to Madafan's writers). This post will try to highlight some positive notes on Madagascar although things ain't bright on the ground. It's always satisfying to showcase what people are doing on the ground despite all.
- spotlightmadagascar.org: Sara Lehouillier Landed in Madagascar and went on tour for three months in order to write a travel-guide
Ok, you may say: "what? another travel guide on Madagascar?". Yes, another one. But from my face-to-face meeting with Sara (BTW,thanks for having this meeting despite the jet-lag that you had since you've just landed), she is taking an interesting approach whereby she tries to showcase not-so-popular touristic-spots- for example, the first destination she's going to is Ambatofinandrahana- have you ever found this place on any travel guides about Madagascar? I didn't so far. I personally can't wait to read what she'll be reporting about her three-months trip. Sara has been working in Madagascar as a peace-corps volunteer few years ago and she can communicate in Malagasy (Madagascar's language)- this promises interesting results as we can expect a totally different perspective from the commercial-oriented travel-guides that we are used to reading. Follow her either on her twitter account or on her blog for some updates.
Two places worth a shout-out
On another note, Madafan usually tries not to do a promotion of a commercial place unless we think it's related to a need from our readers, or they are paying for this (and we will clearly provide a full disclosure that it's a paid-promotion). Moreover, we try not to push the commercial language, but rather associate to a situation/environment. We then have handpicked two places that are worth noticeable given the current situation in Madagascar (we usually like this exercise whereby we try to showcase what's positive when everything seems to be dark)
* Eden lodge: the first-ever 100% solar-powered lodge
According to the owners of the lodge, this is a world premiere,and we are more than happy to be the host for such interesting concept.
* Masoala lodge is worth a shout out because we all know there is an undergoing pillage to the masoala forest and Madafan just wanted to highlight the positive side of this wonderful place.
You surely are aware of other positive things happening in Madagascar, feel free to share it.

An inner craving for burger was seeded deep inside of me back when I was a child. My parents would never let us eat fast food except for on special occasions.

According to the Hockey Canada in a press release, a Canadian Olympic gold medalist received the Order of Hockey in Canada on Wednesday.
Steve Yzerman of Cranbrook, British Columbia, who won an Olympic gold medal with Team Canada men's hockey team as a player at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City and then again as Canada's executive director at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, was one of three people honoured.
France St-Louis of Laval, Quebec and hockey coach Clare Drake were also honoured. St-Louis won an Olympic silver medal in women's hockey for Team Canada at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, while Drake, of Yorkton, Saskatchewan won six University Cup championships as the head coach of the University of Alberta Golden Bears.
Yzerman and St-Louis will be in the spotlight at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. Yzerman is once again the Canadian men's hockey team's executive director, while St-Louis will be Canada's assistant chef de mission.

We live in a farming community, and one of our main crops is onion. When I competed in a cooking contest at the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Festival, I was flabbergasted when I won the top three prizes. This was the first-place recipe. —Nell Cruse, Ontario, Oregon
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Man and Fish
............Man's relation to the sea and its inhabitants has
always been an ambivalent one. For many peoples, the sea was a
terrifying expanse well beyond day-to-day contact, and this is
reflected in their recorded lore. For example, the ancient
Babylonians personified the salt waters of the Earth as the dragon
Tiamat, a force of chaos that had to be slain before the livable
globe could be created. For others, the ocean represented a vast
storehouse of goods-fish for eating, salt for seasoning, dye for
clothing, etc. Yet the element of danger was always present. Even
the most skilled of seafaring cultures, such as the Vikings,
recognized the produce and peril of their surroundings. At the same
time the sea giant Aegir could warmly extend meals of smoked salmon
and tankards of mead, his wife Ran netted drowning sailors, pulling
them to a grim final resting place beneath the chill north seas.
This dualistic view of the ocean has continued through later
periods, infusing literature, poetry, and popular accounts of the
deep. And few symbols of the waters have been so widely exploited
as the fish. Their synonymy with water is not so much tied to their
physiology as their ubiquity (after all, there are a great many
gilled organisms who have never appeared beyond the zoological
literature.) Fish are far and away the most common and diverse
vertebrate on the planet, and can be found in just about any body
of water, from the deepest ocean trench to the highest mountain

The difference between celebrity and celebration was an important factor for Joyce Brabner when deciding how to honor her late husband, Harvey Pekar, with a statue.
"I didn't want it to be just a statue," Brabner says. "If it was anything, it would be about this medium that he championed."
The result is a desk that sits at the main branch of the Cleveland Heights/University Heights Library — Pekar's favorite library — with a small statue of the writer walking out of a bronze comic book page atop it.
The "imagination station," as Brabner calls it, has a chalkboard with panels on it so visitors can draw their own comic, and three drawers filled with several of the American Splendor creator's personal belongings, art supplies and books he liked to read. We recently talked to Brabner about the tribute and what Harvey would have thought of it.

America's most prestigious ivy-league school, Harvard University, has a complex, intertwined relationship with the Monitor Group. The school administration has kept a low profile amidst a growing controversy about the role of the Cambridge, Massachusetts international consulting firm in assisting dictator Muammar Khadafy.
Monitor Group, under investigation by the Department of Justice for unregistered lobbying activity in behalf of Libyan regime, has claimed it failed to register as a foreign agent because of a "misunderstanding" of the law. The company was founded in the mid-1980's by a group of Harvard Business School professors who mixed academia with profit.
The relationship of the Libyan lobby team to Harvard was explored recently in the Harvard Crimson. The student paper headlined Monitor Group in its commencement edition reviewing a partial history of the controversial firm's links to Harvard.
The Crimson article stated: "The consulting group carries a distinct Harvard flavor. On its website, the company touts the Harvard ties of several of its founders and current leaders. Of the 16 "thought leaders" who head the company, six mention positions at Harvard--mostly at the Business School in their biographies on the company website."
Former Dean of the College Harry Lewis has called on the University President to chastise the Libyan work done by Harvard professors for Monitor Group. The Crimson explains: "Lewis has focused the discussion on [Michael] Porter, who has come under the most intent critical gaze among the professors involved due to his high positions in both the company and the University."
Porter has refused to discuss his Monitor Group work issuing a terse statement to the Crimson, "As it became clear…that vested interests and conservatives had succeeded in halting the reform process, I stopped my work in Libya." Porter conveniently left out of his statement that he handed the business off to Mark Fuller, Monitor Group CEO, also a Harvard Business School alum.
Harvard President Drew Faust has refused to be critical of Monitor Group and told the Crimson, "That's an independent organization and business."
However, despite Faust's claim that Monitor is independent of Harvard, the company seems to be on the inside track at Harvard Business School where the premier publication Harvard Business Review frequently publishes Monitor Group articles authored by the Libyan lobby firm
Some of the Monitor Group articles are: The Globe: Is the Bottom of the Pyramid Really for You?; Monitor's Opportunity in India: New Rules for Bringing Innovations to Market; Letter to the Chief Executive; Accounting Transparency Gap; How Will You Know How to Manage When Boom Times are Over?; and Tailored Logistics: The Next Advantage.
Monitor Group's article in Harvard Business Review by Joseph Fuller titled Letter to the Chief Executive is filled with irony. Fuller, one of the company founders, is identified as Monitor Group CEO in the byline. However, Mark Fuller, another co-founder, was actually CEO of the consulting firm during the multi-million dollar contracts with Libya.
Fuller wrote, "I will spare you a sermon on the need for integrity in our financial reporting." Had Joseph Fuller delivered the sermon to Mark Fuller, Monitor Group might not be facing an investigation by the Department of Justice for its unregistered work as a foreign agent for Khadafy's murderous regime.
The Harvard Business Review article continued: "I'm not concerned about the level of your compensation or dealing in our stock. Nonetheless, we must guard against even the appearance of rapaciousness or self-dealing, lest we invite scrutiny from the business press, the union, and institutional investors." As it turned out, Fuller should have been concerned by his CEO's rapaciousness which has landed Monitor Group at the center of unwanted international attention for the dealings with Khadafy's regime.
Fuller's article in the Harvard publication, written in 2002, was almost prophetic. "In retrospect, it is now clear that because of our desire to "meet or beat the street" we made a number of strategic choices and instigated a series of changes to the underlying management system that caused us to fall harder and faster than necessary."

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennywoz Effective and fragrant! Living beside a lake in Florida can have some serious drawbacks in the summertime . . . like a zillion mosquitoes! I do have tiki torches burning citronella oil around the patio, and they do help to reduce the amount of blood-sucking that goes on, but the addition of these citronella incense sticks has made all the difference! I only need to use one at a time and they last for hours. Oh, and did I mention that they also smell really great?! June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachel1216 Citronella Incense is Awesome We love these citronella incense sticks - what a great idea. May 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmyC These are huge! These work well, no sign of mosquitoes. They're very big and burn for a couple hours. No problems with them falling over though the base it comes with it pretty small compared to the sticks. April 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by PortCityGal Huge sticks! The base is quite small and light, and the incense sticks are HUGE, so the whole set-up is top heavy and unstable. The smallest breezes tipped it over (I had it on my patio table). It smells wonderful, though. April 25, 2013

Autumn returns every year. With it comes an array of colorful foliage and pleasant memories returning us to times in our own past. As we approach each revolving season, we bring to it new thoughts and ideas created within us from each successive year. On this personal return to autumn, I wanted to portray its wonder and beauty in a starkly new and creative way. These images are my artistic approach to both a familiar season and a well known art form.

The 2012 presidential election season is now in full swing after Republicans and Democrats wrapped up their respective conventions.
The next opportunity that American citizens have to get a closer look at the candidates will be a series of three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate to begin on October 3. With less than 60 days until election day, expect these debates to garner much media and voter attention.
2012 elections debate schedule
The three presidential debates between President Barack Obama and Republican Nominee Mitt Romney are scheduled for Wednesday, October 3; Tuesday, October 16 and Monday, October 22.
There will only be one vice presidential debate between Vice President Joseph Biden and Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Paul Ryan which is scheduled for Thursday, October 11.
With what appears to be a very close race, the debates will play a central role in helping voters gain a more in depth understanding about the candidates and their positions on key issues including the economy and jobs.
The debates will also allow the candidates to go head to head in front of a live national television audience.
What follows are more specifics about the debates according to the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD).
Dates, locations and moderators for the presidential and vice presidential debates
First presidential debate:
Moderator: Jim Lehrer, Executive Editor of the PBS NewsHour
Wednesday, October 3, University of Denver, Denver, CO
Vice presidential debate:
Moderator: Martha Raddatz, Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, ABC News
Thursday, October 11, Centre College, Danville, KY
Second presidential debate (town meeting):
Moderator: Candy Crowley, Chief Political Correspondent, CNN and Anchor, CNN's State of the Union
Tuesday, October 16, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY
Third presidential debate:
Moderator: Bob Schieffer, Chief Washington Correspondent, CBS News and Moderator, Face the Nation
Monday, October 22, Lynn University, Boca Raton, FL
New formats for presidential debates
"The new formats chosen for this year's debates are designed to focus big time blocks on major domestic and foreign topics. These journalists bring extensive experience to the job of moderating, and understand the importance of using the expanded time periods to maximum benefit," said the CPD in a statement on its website.
"We are grateful for their willingness to moderate, and confident that the public will learn more about the candidates and the issues as a result," the statement concluded.
Format for the 2012 presidential and vice presidential debates
First presidential debate will focus on domestic policy
The first debate will focus on domestic policy. The debate will be divided into six time segments of about 15 minutes each. Topics will be chosen by the moderator and announced several weeks before the debate.
The moderator will open each segment with a question. Then each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a discussion of the topic, according to the CPD.
Vice presidential debate will cover domestic issues and foreign policy
The one and only vice presidential debate will cover both foreign and domestic topics. It will be divided into nine segments of about 10 minutes each.
The moderator will ask an opening question followed by a two minute response from each candidate. The moderator will use the remainder of the time in the segment for a discussion of the question.
Second presidential debate to feature "town meeting" format
The second presidential debate have a "town meeting" format. Citizens will ask questions of the candidates about foreign and domestic issues.
The candidates each will have two minutes to respond followed by an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate a discussion.
What makes this particular debate unique is that the town meeting participants will be undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organization, according to information from the CPD.
Third presidential debate will focus on foreign policy
The format for the debate will be the same as first presidential debate and will focus on foreign policy.
All debates will take place from 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The candidates will not make opening statements.
However, each candidate will be allowed to present a two-minute closing statements in each of the debates.
In all the debates except town meeting, the CPD has made the recommendation that the candidates be seated at a table with the moderator.
Voter Education Program for 2012 presidential debates
The CPD is "undertaking an innovative internet-based voter education program that will encourage citizens to become familiar with the issues to be discussed in the debates," according to information posted on the CPD website.
Additionally, the CPD will share citizens' input with the debate moderators before the debates.
The CPD was established in 1987 and has has sponsored and produced all the presidential and vice presidential debates since then.
For more information about the 2012 presidential and vice presidential debates as well as The Commission on Presidential Debates visit the CPD website.

COGAT carries out over 90% of requests by Palestinian patients to be treated at Israeli hospitals, according to recent World Health Organization report
Data published in the World Health Organization's February 2012 report reflect efforts of both the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the Israeli government to facilitate passage of Palestinian patients from the Gaza Strip to Israeli hospitals.
According to the data published in the report, 91.5% of the requests for medical treatment at Israeli hospitals were approved and carried out, and 7.2% are currently under review. The Israeli government treats these cases with importance and urgency, as reflected by the statistics.
Subsidy for these transfers was provided by a variety of organizations including the Palestinian Health Ministry, the Physicians for Human Rights organization, the Peres Center for Peace and others. Some medical specialties are not offered at Gaza Strip hospitals and thus the patients are treated at hospitals in Israel or other neighboring countries.

by Rebecca Evans, Hollaback! Baltimore Blogger
I'm very into killing two birds with one stone, especially when those birds are objectifying me. Hollaback! Philly is working on a comic book about street harassment that will not only fight the war on women on the streets, but will also help create a more female inclusive atmosphere in the comic book world.
Here's a brief description from Hollaback! Philly: "Meet Red, Yellow, and Blue, the stars of our comic book. Red and Yellow are girls who get harassed and have to figure out how to deal with it. Blue is Red's boyfriend, and he has seen other dudes harass girls but doesn't realize the impact, or that he can help, until Red fills him in."
Set to be published in the summer of 2013, artist Erin Filson and Hollaback! activists Rochelle Keyhan and Anna Kegler have already raised well beyond their $5,000 goal, which will fund shipping to Hollaback! branches in 62 cities and 25 countries, setting up workshops about street harassment, creating an online "choose your own adventure" version, and putting the comic book in stores. The extra money will enable Hollaback! Philly to expand the scope of their effort even further, potentially reaching out to comic book conventions, and educators outside of Hollaback!.
I'm a big believer in the power of pop culture to transform political opinion, particularly in the vein of feminism, since pop culture is where half our problems begin. You can view a sneak peak and a video about the project on the Hollaback! Philly web site. Just because you're wearing makeup or heels (or sweatpants) doesn't mean you're looking for commentary. In an interview with Campus Progress, Keyhan says, ""I would love if you could help us create that reality, instead of the one we have now."
Note from site leader, Shawna: "We collected enough donations at our recent 2 year Birthday Bash to contribute to the funding of this comic book, which secured us 100 copies to distribute, as well as the Baltimore skyline featured on the back pages to show our solidarity with Philly. Congrats to our fellow Hollabackers on meeting their goal!"
Author comments are in a darker gray color for you to easily identify the posts author in the comments
Hello Hollaback!
I am so thrilled that you all are coming out with a comic book!
I was wondering, will it be available to purchase after ComicCon, and if so, are there any pre-orders happening?
Thank you for further empowering!!!

Suddenly my laptop (Acer Aspire 7740) (windows7) keyboard is malfunctioning. The output does not match the actual input i type.
When I type: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /
i get the output A B DC DC DC GF GF HN M, J M, . €M, HN . €P Q GF SX T U V SX SX HN Z a 1 sx 3 dc gf hn / - / ] / \; ' m, .€ / \;
Even enter and backspace \; give me the following outputs: \; \;
Left arrow functions as the tab button.
Use of a external keyboard gives me the correct output so I am not able to understand what is the problem. I tried cleaning the keyboard and pressing fn+numlock or fn+shift+numlock. This also did not solve the problem.
Thanks for any help you can give.
In response to the comments and answers uptil now:
The problem started after probably 5 hours of inactivity. Do not find any spillage. None of the keys are stuck and feel normal / move freely. Multiple keyboards are not enabled so I dont think that is the problem too. Thanks for your suggestions.

Patch 5.3 is on the PTRs and with the background data coming to a computer near you, it will be soon that many will be leaving the Isle of Thunder and moving on to more fertile grounds.
This also means that players who don't actively raid will be looking to level their alts. Many will be setting their alternates for level 90 crafting and obtaining patterns that still can sell. This is of course assuming they haven't already been doing this as we go.
Patch 5.3 will be introducing some interesting wrinkles into both how players will set their mains and alt armies for both professions and daily grinding. With a tri-spec system many players will be working with a PVP-DPS-Heal/Tank setup. This will be a good opportunity to make sure that you have glyph sales available for players to pick up. Not just after the patch drops but before. Players are becoming more and more intelligent so they plan ahead and purchase before the glyphmas rush.
Pure PVP power gems are going to take a hit because the powers that be are lowering their strength. So start making sure you have the PVP pwr/secondary gems ready to go. With Gem Sales being weak a new breath of fresh air to possible sales would be very welcome.
I"ve already looked at flipping the market when it comes to gems and enchants. Depending on the purchase cost of bracer enchants and weapon enchants they will be in high quick demand as players enter new PVP zones and new raids.
As players continue to level and setup their alternate armies for professions, some low level materials will continue to be in demand. The change in Blacksmithing to allow players to use just Ghost Iron Ore/Bars to be able to max out their leveling caused a ding into this market. But enchanting materials still are brisk from time to time as players look to have high level enchants on their team.
May is a good chance for beginnings, take advantage and prepare for the oncoming profession storm. Setting up your toon army to allow you to craft anything you want will save you gold. Having the ability to process and craft anything for others will add more gold into your pocket. And make you a happy gold goblin.

Upon last week's revelation that Marc Dreier, the sole equity partner of New York City law firm Dreier LLP, had been arrested and charged in Canada for impersonating another person to complete a business transaction, it struck many as the mere beginnings of the Dreier Saga, a proverbial iceberg tip of bad news.
Indeed. Earlier this week, Dreier appeared to get hit from all sides: a criminal charge in New York stemming from an alleged $100 million fraud against various hedge funds; an SEC suit alleging Dreier had been marketing and selling fake promissory notes to investors; and a suit by Wachovia Bank against Dreier, Dreier LLP (and a handful of others), alleging that a credit revolver and term loan extended to the firm are in default, as of November 1, upon which the bank is owed some $12.7 million.
The most recent news: A flurry of SEC filings, reviewed last night by the Wall Street Journal, reveal new allegations of Dreier's recent activities, including allegations that funds are missing from clients' escrow accounts. Here's the WSJ story.
The SEC made the filings to support a request for preliminary relief, including a request that the court freeze the assets of Dreier and his firm, which include valuable art work at the firm's midtown Manhattan headquarters.
According to a declaration by the firm's Controller John Provenzano, millions of dollars owed to clients appeared to be missing from the firm's accounts. Asked for comment Tuesday night, Dreier's attorney, Gerald Shargel, said: "We're considering our options and [we] will make our position known on Thursday with respect to the underlying issues."
According to Provenzano's statement, here's what happened:
- On Dec. 3, Dreier called Provenzano from a Canadian detention facility and directed him to wire about $8 million from the firm's escrow accounts to three different accounts controlled by him. Provenzano refused.
- The next day he called Provenzano again and told him to wire $10 million from the escrow accounts to one of Dreier's personal accounts. Provenzano again refused, but connected him with the bank where the escrow accounts were held. Dreier instructed a bank official to wire the funds.
- During another telephone call from Dreier from the detention facility, Provenzano said he alerted Dreier that the law firm owed $38 million to clients as part of the firm's representation of 360networks. However, the law firm's escrow account had only half that amount. According to the statement, Dreier replied, in part, "if he could return to New York and sell some of his art collection, he would be able to return the money." Attempts to reach 360networks were unsuccessful.
- Provenzano said that since August 2005, when he started at the firm, he was aware that $30 to $40 million had been taken out of Dreier LLP accounts to buy art.
A "devastating effect" on the firm: Another SEC filing contained a sworn statement by Dreier partner Joel Chernov:
- Chernov said the he and Dreier partner Steven Gursky also spoke to Dreier, while he was in jail, about the missing client funds. "Mr. Dreier told Mr. Gursky that, if he had not been arrested he could have returned to New York and rectified the situation," Mr. Chernov said in the filing. "I understood from this conversation that Mr. Dreier was implicitly admitting that he had improperly used client escrow funds."
- Chernov's filing also attests to an allegedly "devastating effect" that Dreier's arrest has had on the firm. He explains that because Dreier ran the firm by himself he was the only one who could access bank accounts to transfer or disburse money to rectify many of the financial problems. The December health insurance premiums have not been paid, the firm's December rent is overdue and AT&T Inc. was set to terminate Blackberry service as of Tuesday (yesterday). Chernov also says the quarterly premium for the firm's malpractice insurance is four weeks' overdue.
- Chernov says requests are pouring in for the firm to return client funds held in escrow. But only Dreier can do so. "In addition, many Dreier LLP attorneys and staff have left the firm and it is my understanding that they have taken certain files with them."

To the Baptists of the Primitive faith and order and to all the household of faith, everywhere who love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ, greetings. Dearly beloved in the Lord.
Having in the order of God's providence become connected with the GOSPEL MESSENGER, a monthly magazine published at Butler, Taylor, County, Ga., I hereby send forth this my Salutatory and Introductory to the brotherhood. Humble as the position of Associate Editor may be, yet its duties and re responsibilities cause me very sensibly to feel my entire dependence upon that God who, as good old Jacob said, "has fed me all my life long," and by whose kind hand and merciful providence I have been taken care of and mercifully preserved till this present hour.
The position which I now have agreed to take in connection with Elder J. R. Respess as principal, has never been sought nor asked for by me. For sometime past and by more than one party, the position, either of sole Editor or Associate, has been kindly tendered me, and some of my brethren have urgently gently insisted upon me to accept it. After much hesitation and prayerful consideration for divine direction, I have agreed by the help of God, to do so, and endeaver to serve my brethren in the cause of God and truth in any capacity indicated by the kind providence and grace of God, that is consistent with the gospel of Christ.
In every condition, position and relation of life, we are accountable to God for our stewardship. Whatever he has graciously committed to our trust, whether in things temporal or spiritual, should be lawfully and properly used according to his word. Nothing should be abused or perverted to unholy, unlawful or sinful purposes. The faculties which he has given us, whether natural or spiritual, should not be used for any sensual gratification, nor to promote any sinful lusts or pleasures. The circumstances which our God has thrown around us for improvement of ourselves and others, the power and gift of speech, the ability and opportunity to speak, to think, to write and correspond with each other, the art of printing and the many easy and cheap methods of transportation and mail facilities, are all blessings if not disregarded, perverted, nor abused to sinful or unholy purposes. "Our life and breath, and all our ways are in the hand of God." See Daniel 5:23, and Acts 17:25.
However much the ungodly world may pervert and abuse the things of this world for their own lusts and sinful pleasures, it should not be so with the household of faith In becoming connected with the GOSPEL MESSENGER in the capacity of editor, I have no design nor desire to injure any other paper which is published for the promotion of truth and gospel order among christians, but rather to co-operate in the spirit of unity, love, and fellowship with such. With many of the Baptists of Primitive faith and order throughout the United States, I am personally known, as I have traveled and preached in ten of the States and been in thirteen of them. Thousands of others know my religious principles from what they have heard, seen and read of my writings during the last thirty-eight years. The first letter ever written by me for publication appeared in the columns of the Primitive Baptist in 1843, which was then published in N. C. After writing all who may wish to furnish themselves in useful reading t find such a volume a valuable addition to their library not only for the present, but for years to come. If those beloved brethren who have the editorial charge of papers through the columns of which I have heretofore corresponded as a free and voluntary offering, without any hope, or desire of any pecuniary reward whatever, have benefited in their publications in any way by my correspondence or otherwise, I am glad of it and I trust, thankful to the Lord for it also. I ask, therefore, that they and all other papers friendly to our enterprise in publishing the MESSENGER, in true spirit of reciprocity and brotherly love, give this Salutatory and Introductory, or such parts of it as they may think necessary to set forth its object, a place in the columns of their papers.
I am, dear brethren and friends, very affectionately your brother in gospel bonds. W. M. MITCHELL. Opilika, Ala., March 25th, 1881.

I'd like to prove that Fourier coefficient of two continuous and periodic functions, with a period of $1$, the following equality holds:
$$\widehat {f*g}(n)=\hat f(n)\cdot \hat g(n)$$
( $\hat x(n)$- Fourier coefficient of $x$, and $y*z$- Convolution of $y$ and $z$)
If I knew that $f, g$ are continually differentiable I could have used the fact that Fourier series $f,g$ converge to the actual functions, and I could use it to prove the claim. How can I prove it with these conditions and without using the order of the integrals, cause I am able to prove with that, but I am not allowed to.
Thanks a lot

great location (near JR station)
clean and cozy room.
but a bit to small for 4 adult person (the sleeping couch was very uncomfortable after 1 week).
would book again but only with girlfriend.
Great location, right next to major train station so easy to get from airport and around Tokyo and lots of eateries around the area. Apartment clean and comfortable for the two of us. We were able to cook for ourselves in the apartment which was great. I forgot to print map to find apartment on first night, so found it really hard to locate (brief directions on the email would have been helpful - ie next block from MOS Burgers, go around back and mailboxes on ground level). I would stay here again.
Je déconseille cet appartement
Très difficile à trouver caché dans deux petits rue vraiment pas évident à trouver sans l'aide d'un couple japonais je n'aurais jamais trouvé l'appartement
Car Anne Ne répondez jamais aux appels
Une fois mon arrivée l'appartement n'était vraiment pas les description de l'annonce
La superficie n'ai pas de 50 mais 30 m² ayant un appartement de 50 m² j'ai tout de suite fait la différence....
Très difficile pour une vie à quatre surtout que le canapé peut contenir qu'une personne Adulte
Une hôte absente qui a aucun moment est prêt de ses convives
L'appartement ne mérite vraiment pas le prix indiqué
Very easy to get to. Literally about 3 minutes walk from the train station at Otsuka. A very central place to explore from. The apartment was larger than the pictures give credit and was very comfortable to live in for the 2 weeks that my 3 friends and i stayed for. The pocket wifi was invaluable and very helpful for navigating around Tokyo.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Japan and would definitely recommend staying there. Looking forward to my next trip to Japan and staying there again.
Well located appartment near to metrostations . Buth it is NOT a luxery appartment . The kichen is equiped with old machines and kichenware. The watercooker didn't work . 2 water and 1 wine glas for two persons . There is hardly enougf furniture for two persons ( one double bed , a small divan and a salon table ; NO dining table and NO chairs The surface of the appartment is NOT 50 m2 ! The real dimentions are 2,75m large by 9,75m lengt = less than 30m2 .The appartment is not suiteble for 4 persons as mentioned on the WIMDU site. This appartment is more expensif than the 4 stars hotelroom with breakfast near the imperial palace that I initialy booked for the same period ! The description off this appartment on the WIMDU site doesn't justifie the price I paid . We didn't even met the owner during our stay !
the apartment was very comfortable, the contact with Anne was very nice and helpfully. The Apartment is very near at the station and very easy to find. I stayed with my 2 friends for 3 weeks.
only the volume from the road and from the ground during the night was very annoying, so we closed the window overnight. But it was perfect to stay ;)
I can recommend everyone this apartment
for my next trip to Tokyo with friends I will book it again.
Thank you very much Anne, for staying in your apartment =)
The apartment was tidy, clean and comfortable. The notes given by Anne are useful to find the place without any problem. 100% recommendable
L'appartamento è piccolo (ca 30 mq ) ma comodissimo, a pochi passi dalla stazione di Otsuka sulla Yamanoteline (JR) in zona tranqulla. Facilissimo da trovare con le istruzioni spedite da Anne. L'appartamento è più adatto a due persone anche se sono presenti un letto matrimoniale + un divano letto. Presente piccolo tavolo basso e due sedie, scomodo per pranzare. Cucina equipaggiata con 2 fuochi, sono inoltre disponibii: un fornetto per scaldare brioche o tostare il pane, un bollitore, un cuoci riso e un miscroonde; lava-asciuga, asse/ferro stiro, phon, aspirapolvere.

Disponibli: asciugamani, lenzuola e strofinacci. Non abbamo incontratto il proprietario, ma non è stato un problema.
Schlüsselübergabe nicht persönlich,sondern mittels Zahlencode und Postfach im Apartment.Hat ca 1 Std gedauert bist sowohl das Haus gefunden als auch der Schlussel erhalten wurde.

We are moving beyond unremarkable black and brown leather. By no means are we getting rid of our brown booties or black leather handbags, mind you, but we are introducing this lion-colored LAVAN Leather Jacket ($940) to our repertoire. Still neutral enough to go with literally everything we own, it opens up a whole new world of accessory options. Can anyone say tortoiseshell jewelry and glasses?

College Hockey:PairWise Possibilities: Updated
There's one day of games left.
What do we know? What don't we know? What are the possibilities?
Thanks to our handy-dandy PairWise Predictor, we can simulate what may happen if we hypothesize the results of games yet to be played.
So let's give you some of the things that I believe to be the case going into the last day of games.
• There could potentially be one spot left for either Vermont, Wisconsin or Minnesota State.
If Vermont wins, it is in. If Vermont loses then either Wisconsin or Minnesota State is in — or maybe both (see below).
• Why is it "potentially" one spot?
• Because Notre Dame is out in a bizarre scenario that I found. That scenario — Northern Michigan and Notre Dame must tie their CCHA third-place game.
If either Notre Dame or Northern Michigan wins, then Notre Dame is in regardless of what else happens. But if Notre Dame and Northern Michigan tie, then Notre Dame can potentially be out.
I'll give you an example. Princeton, BC and Miami win and Notre Dame and Northern Michigan tie.
If Northern Michigan wins, it becomes a Team Under Consideration. In that case, Minnesota State loses the comparison with NMU and therefore only has 10 comparison wins. That's the same as Notre Dame, but Notre Dame wins the comparison with Minnesota State; therefore it breaks the tie and gets the last spot.
If Northern Michigan loses, Notre Dame jumps ahead of Wisconsin and Minnesota State, leaving the two tied for the last spot. Here, Minnesota State wins the comparison with Wisconsin and gets that last spot.
If Northern Michigan and Notre Dame tie, then NMU does not become a TUC and Minnesota State remains with 11 comparison wins while Wisconsin picks up a comparison win over Harvard to move it to 11 comparison wins. And Notre Dame remains at 10 comparison wins, leaving it out of the tournament.
There are numerous ways that I have found to put Notre Dame out of the tournament if it ties against Northern Michigan, but none if this game has a winner.
So, what does Notre Dame do here? If toward the end of the game Saturday Notre Dame and Northern Michigan are tied, does Notre Dame put the puck into its own net to lose?
After all, a tie can potentially put the Irish out of the tournament, but a win or a loss puts them into the tournament.
If this occurs, you have to wonder what Jeff Jackson will be thinking behind the bench.
• The only ways the WCHA gets seven teams into the tournament.
BC, Princeton and Miami win, while Northern Michigan and Notre Dame tie.
BC, Princeton and Michigan win and Northern Michigan and Notre Dame tie, and Minnesota and North Dakota do not both win their games.
These are the only ways.
• If Northern Michigan or Notre Dame wins, and if Boston College wins, then Princeton and Northern Michigan must win for Wisconsin to get in. If not, then Minnesota State gets in.
Remember that we said that if Northern Michigan or Notre Dame wins, then Notre Dame is in the tournament. So, if this happens, then the above comes into play.
A Northern Michigan win means that NMU becomes a TUC once again. Minnesota State then loses the comparison to Northern Michigan, meaning that Wisconsin catches Minnesota State in overall comparison wins, and since Wisconsin wins that comparison, it gets in ahead of Minnesota State.
Princeton winning would not jump it past Wisconsin or Minnesota State. A Harvard win would jump it past Wisconsin and Minnesota State.
• But, even if BC, NMU and Princeton win, and Wisconsin would have one more comparison win than Minnesota State, the committee might still consider Minnesota State over Wisconsin because Minnesota State wins the head-to-head comparison between the two, by a 4-2 margin.
Yes, this might happen. And it is a possibility. So if it works out this way, this might be a possible reason.
• Michigan, Miami and New Hampshire will be number-one seeds.
No one can turn enough comparisons with these three teams.
• The winner of North Dakota-Colorado College will claim the last number-one seed. A North Dakota win will give it the third overall seed; a Colorado College win will give it the number-four overall seed.
• Michigan, Miami, New Hampshire, Colorado College, North Dakota, Boston College, Denver, St. Cloud State, Michigan State, Clarkson, Minnesota, Niagara, Air Force and the winner of the ECAC Tournament are in the tournament.
Aside from the possible scenario I laid out above for Notre Dame, I think the Irish are in.
• If Miami defeats Michigan and Northern Michigan defeats Notre Dame, Miami is the number-one overall seed, else Michigan is the number-one overall seed.
• Michigan and Miami will be one-two in some order.
No one can catch Michigan and Miami, and the loser of this game will drop no further than second overall.
So enjoy the games and let's see what happens!

On Sept. 12 (Thursday evening) at approximately 9:45 p.m. an 18-year-old female reported to Helena-West Helena Police that while in the area of Beechcrest School near 10th and Plaza Streets she was pulled over by who she thought was a law enforcement officer. According to a police release issued by the H–WHPD, during the traffic stop, the woman was asked to exit her vehicle. A subject described as a white male with dark brown hair and mustache, about 6-2 in height with a slender build, attempted to cuff the female and fondled her in a frisking manner before she was able to successfully escape on foot. The police report also said that the suspect was wearing a BDU style uniform, dark blue or black in color. He was driving a black unmarked vehicle with possibly a blue light bar or hide-away lights installed. The Criminal Investigation Unit is currently working diligently on the information the victim provided. Police are asking that if anyone has information or has seen an individual in that area matching this description to not hesitate to call the nearest law enforcement agency. As a precaution, police are asking individuals to not exit their vehicles unless the vehicles or vehicles making the traffic stop are clearly marked "Police" or the officer has been clearly identified as law enforcement. The release goes on to state that any and all officers employed by the Helena-West Helena Police Department or any law enforcement agency should provide their name, rank, agency employed by and the reason for the stop. If there are any concerns about the identity of an officer, the press release states, don't hesitate to ask for identification or call the local agency for verification.
