FTC Melts Away Millions From Makers of Exercise Device
Jennifer Nicole Lee describes herself as an "extremely successful global megabrand," and that much isn't a problem for federal regulators.
But when she said on TV infomercials that she lost 80 pounds thanks to an abdominal exercise device called Ab Circle Pro, the Federal Trade Commission started poking and prodding.
The result of the FTC's investigation was a settlement with Ms. Lee and the device's makers. The settlements will cost the defendants between $15 million and $25 million depending on how many consumers request refunds, the commission said.
According to the FTC, the infomercial aired more than 10,000 times between March 2009 and May 2010. A complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleges that Ms. Lee misrepresented the facts when she said using the device allowed her to lose 80 pounds. The infomercials also said that using the device for three minutes a day would "melt inches and pounds," the FTC said.
Ms. Lee's website says without mentioning Ab Circle Pro that her career as a "top fitness expert," "icon," "visionary powerhouse," "highly sought-after spokes-model" and "top ultimate pitchwoman" began when she lost more than 80 pounds after the birth of her children.
Ms. Lee didn't face a monetary penalty under the settlement, but it stipulates that she "cannot endorse any exercise equipment, food, drug or device unless the endorsement reflects her honest opinion or experience."
The FTC's David Vladeck said: "The FTC reminds marketers that they should think twice before promising a silver-bullet solution to a health problem. … Weight loss is hard work, and telling consumers otherwise is deceptive."
We've reached out to Ms. Lee for comment and will update this post if we hear back.

SEATTLE - Cal Poly's Nick Torres hit two homers and accounted for all five runs to lead his team to a 5-3 win over the Washington baseball team Saturday at Husky Ballpark.
Torres, who also hit a solo homer for the Mustangs' only run in Friday's 2-1 Husky win, hit a three-run homer in the fourth and a two-run belt in the sixth. He finished the game 2-for-4 with five RBI.
UW starter Nick Palewicz (1-2) was charged with the loss, allowing five runs on five hits over five and one-third innings. Cal Poly starter Matt Imhof improved to 2-0 with the win. In his five and two-thirds innings, he gave up three runs on nine hits.
Washington got on the board first with two runs in the third. With two outs, Joe Meggs reached on an infield single and, after stealing second base, he scored when Jayce Ray knocked a double into the left-field corner. Husky sophomore Robert Pehl followed with a single into left, driving in Ray to give the Huskies a 2-0 lead.
The lead was short-lived, however. In the top of the fourth, a walk and a hit batter put two aboard for Torres, who belted the first pitch he saw out to left for a three-run homer.
In the sixth, Torres came through again for the Mustangs. With Jimmy Allen aboard on a leadoff double, Torres lined a ball just inside the left-field foul pole for his second homer of the day and third of the series, stretching the Cal Poly lead to 5-2.
Washington got one back in the sixth. With Ray and Pehl aboard with no outs, Trevor Mitsui bounced into a double play, scoring Ray from third to cut the lead to 5-3.
Poly closer Reed Reilly came on in the ninth after the Huskies had gotten a pair of singles to bring the potential winning run to the plate. He got the final two outs to secure his fourth save of the year.
Four Huskies finished with two hits each: Meggs, Ray, Pehl and Camporeale, who were all 2-for-4. UW junior reliever Trevor Dunlap pitched the final three and two-thirds innings without allowing a run.
The Huskies and Mustangs close out the series Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. game.

SHARON TWP. — If ever there was a man who embodied the saying "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," it's David Snyder.
The Medina resident spent about 2½ months canoeing 1,846 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, from just south of Canton to New Orleans.
"It was actually about 20 years ago I came up with the idea," Snyder said. "I don't know where it came from. I just thought, 'Wow, that'd be neat to do.' " With a family to raise and a job at Reiter Dairy in Akron, he said, he put the idea on hold.
"When I retired and the kids were raised, I said it's now or never," Snyder said. "So at the age of 60, I took off."
Peggy, his wife of 39 years, said she was scared she might never see him again.
"The biggest thing was for his safety," she said. "I just prayed for him every day."
With a canoe purchased three days before the trip, two sets of clothes and 180 pounds of soup, water and Milky Way candy bars, Snyder set out along the Tuscarawas River on July 13.
"I didn't know how to paddle when I left," said Snyder, the owner of Snyder's Tree Farm at 648 Medina Road. "It took me 10 days to figure out how to paddle. Needless to say, I got very good at it."
He said he spent 64 nights in a tent along the rivers, broken up by the occasional night in a motel when Peggy would come to visit.
Through thunderstorms and extreme heat, Snyder said he survived the trip without getting sick or capsizing with a great deal of luck.
Next to finding a place to camp every night, he said the hardest part was being alone. He said he asked people to go with him on the trip, but no one accepted the offer.
"There's a lot of time to think on that trip," Snyder said. "It was very enlightening. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about life."
Snyder now is hoping to share what he learned with the world. Throughout the journey, he said, he kept a daily journal of his travels, often breaking from paddling to write about the towns he saw and the dragonflies he befriended.
Now back home, he is typing up his notes to turn them into a book.
"I'll try to get it published, but at least it will be a memoir for myself," Snyder said.
Snyder's wife, daughter and son-in-law flew to New Orleans to greet him as he pulled into the city's harbor on Oct. 1.
"We could just see a little speck (getting) closer," his wife said. "It was unbelievable that he actually did that."
For her, she said a large part of her pride came from the fact he set his mind to do something and accomplished it.
"It's really inspiring to think that you're at this age and your dreams are still possible," she said. "I think if he goes again, I might just accompany him."

Mercyhurst 3, St. Lawrence 2
ERIE, Pa. – The Mercyhurst University women's hockey team captured their third straight win after a 3-2 win over St. Lawrence on Wednesday afternoon. The Lakers captured an out of conference sweep to conclude their mid-week series.
The Lakers improved to 10-5-2 after capturing their first series sweep since the University of Maine. The Lakers also improved to 5-1-1 on their home ice. St. Lawrence, a member of the ECAC conference, dropped to 6-9-1 overall this season.
The Lakers wasted no time gaining the lead against the Saints at the start of the opening period. Sophomore J'nai Mahadeo tallied her second goal of the season at the 5:04 mark into the contest. Junior Molly Byrne picked the puck up from the blue line and gave defenseman Mahadeo a pass across the ice. Mahadeo skated to the left faceoff circle and blasted one to the glove of Carmen MacDonald. MacDonald made the initial save but the puck fluttered over her glove and into the back of the net.
Just four minutes later, senior Christie Cicero scored her eighth goal of the season on a power-play opportunity. Bryne once again was in on the action cycling the puck from senior Christine Bestland to Cicero. At the point, Cicero took a slap shot which was screened perfectly by senior Kaleigh Chippy. The Lakers took the 2-0 advantage heading into the second.
St. Lawrence finally answered back on their own power-play opportunity at the 5:58 mark into the middle period. Kristen Padalis cut the lead in half on her fourth goal of the season. She was assisted by Kayla Raniwsku and Brooke Webster.
Sophomore Kathy Donohue scored the eventual game-winning goal which marked her first career game-winning goal. The even strength goal was scored at the 11:03 mark into the second period. Cicero passed the puck to Dingeldein who attempted an odd angle shot at almost the goal line. MacDonald then gave up a rebound at the top of the crease where Donohue was waiting and shot the puck to the left corner of the net, giving her team the 3-1 lead.
With 2:46 left on the clock, St. Lawrence pulled MacDonald to give their team a man advantage. The Lakers kept the pressure on in the beginning by taking two shots attempted just wide of the open net. The Saints' however took control over the contest and drew two penalties with a minute remaining.
With just 12 seconds left, St. Lawrence finally crashed the Mercyhurst net and goaltender Amanda Makela to make the score 3-2. There was not enough time however as the Lakers won the faceoff and eventually the contest.
Makela made a season-high 33 saves in the win to improve to 9-5-2. MacDonald fell to 6-4-1 in the season.
The Lakers were outshot 35 to 33 with Cicero leading the Lakers with six shots on net. The Lakers were also one for five on the power-play and stopped six of the Saints' eight power-plays.
All told, Cicero tallied three goals and one assist and attempted 15 shots on net against St. Lawrence over the series. Donohue had two goals including her first career game-winning goal. Bestland had two assists and is now just four points away from a career 200 points while at Mercyhurst.
The Lakers return to CHA action as they host Penn State University on Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7. Puck drop is set for 3:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. respectively.

- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Webb's Fabulous Pharmacies, Inc. v. Beckwith, 449 U.S. 155 (1980)
Webb's Fabulous Pharmacies, Inc. v. Beckwith
No. 79-1033
Argued October 14, 15, 1980
Decided December 9, 1980
Held: Appellee county's taking as its own, under the authority of a Florida statute, the interest accruing on an interpleader fund deposited in the registry of a county court was a taking violative of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments where a fee, based on the amount of the principal deposited as prescribed by another Florida statute, was also charged for the court clerk's services in receiving the fund into the registry, and where the deposited fund was concededly private, and was required by statute in order for the depositor to avail itself of statutory protection from the claims of creditors and others. Neither the Florida Legislature, by statute, nor the Florida courts, by judicial decree, may accomplish the result the county sought simply by recharacterizing the principal of the deposited fund as "public money" because it was held temporarily by the court. The earnings of the fund are incidents of ownership of the fund itself, and are property just as the fund itself is property. Pp. 449 U. S. 159-165.
374 So.2d 951, reversed.
BLACKMUN, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

Officer Lance Tsukimura and Officer Michael Kuenzi saw the reported suspect vehicle, a gray Ford Bronco, leaving the area and attempted to stop it, but the driver, later identified as 39-year-old Randy Upham, attempted to allude. Officers pursued Upham's vehicle for several blocks but lost sight of it. A short time later they saw Upham walking down the street. Officers gave Upham commands to stop, but he refused. Officers then fired twice with less lethal rounds and Upham surrendered. A handgun, believed to be the weapon involved, was later recovered on the path of the pursuit.
According to witnesses, Upham shot at another individual in the tavern parking lot. The bullet, which narrowly missed the victim, lodged in the victim's vehicle.
Upham was charged with one count of Attempt Murder, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and Attempt to Elude. Upham was lodged in the Justice Center Jail and is scheduled for arraignment at 2:00 p.m., on Monday, April 22, 2002 at 2:00 p.m.
A photograph of Upham is available via e-mail from the Portland Police Bureau Identification Division at (503) 823-0382.

Game Summary

Losing a sister is heartbreaking and hard. Losing a sister that leaves you smelling of treason and always under suspicion by the Queen of England is even harder. Lady Katherine Grey and Lady Mary Grey were the younger sisters of the doomed nine days queen, Lady Jane Grey. Her "treason" and execution left the girls not only longing for the comfort of their beloved and wise older sister, but them in danger with both the paranoid Tudor sisters and queens, Queen Mary I of England and Queen Elizabeth I of England. While one sister followed her mind and tried desperately to stay safe while treason surrounded her, the other sister followed her heart and entered a lion's den of even more treason. "Sisters of Treason" by Elizabeth Fremantle follows Katherine and Mary while they navigate the Tudor court with their royal blood while treason surrounds them due to that blood.
"Sisters of Treason" is told from the perspectives of three different women. Lady Katherine Grey is the middle Grey sister who is beautiful, vivacious, and with not a care in the world. She thrives on giving love and being loved. A dangerous liaison turned marriage that produced two children with Edward Seymour, son of another family full of treason puts Katherine in grave danger for doing what she pleases and angering Queen Elizabeth. Lady Mary with her tiny stature and crooked spine is more cautious and uses her mind and wit to survive the Tudor court, but her love for her sister may be her greatest weakness. Royal portrait painter Levina Teerlinc made a promise to her dear friend Frances Grey. She vowed to protect Katherine and Mary, the beloved daughter of Frances, but not even she can protect them from Queen Mary's blood thirsty attitude and Queen Elizabeth's jealousy and paranoia. "Sisters of Treason" follows three different women as they navigate the dangerous Tudor court with treason following them every which way.
"Sisters of Treason" is a very unique look at the Grey sisters. Many novels have covered the Grey sisters featuring Jane's tragic end, Katherine's marriage folly, and Mary as a bystander, but none have fleshed out Katherine and Mary as well as this novel. Katherine and Mary come to life courtesy of Fremantle. Fremantle portrays each sister so brilliantly. Fremantle's Katherine loves being in love and being loved, has a soft heart, but is also selfish and does not always weigh the consequences or think of danger. Fremantle's Mary suffers the heartache of not being a pretty and willowy court beauty and being deformed, but her mind, wit, loyalty, and compassion make her worth a million court ladies. The Grey sisters have never felt more alive and interesting thanks to Fremantle.
Other standout portrayals include Levina, an artist who values her friendships and loyalty above everything else. Her loyalty and love for the Grey family is touching. Queen Elizabeth is alluring and captivating, but also cruel and cold. Queen Mary is paranoid, blood-thirsty, and desperately unhappy. Edward Seymour is handsome, gallant, and completely in love with Katherine. His sister and Katherine's beloved friend Jane also known Juno is a delight and the perfect friend for Katherine. The most interesting portrayal though is of Frances Grey. History and particularly historical fiction have portrayed her as a cold, unfeeling, and cruel mother who abused her children and thought of power and prestige before her daughters. Fremantle's Frances adores her children and will do anything for them. It's a refreshing take on a woman who does not always get a fair portrayal in history.
"Sisters of Treason" is a wonderful read for Tudor fans. It is a fresh take on doomed sisters and really gives an interesting and wonderful look at the court of two paranoid and difficult Tudor queens. This novel is a wonderful representation of sisterhood, loyalty, and love of all kinds.

Human Development: A Life-Span View, 6th Edition, Robert V. Kail
Balanced coverage of the entire life span is just one thing that distinguishes HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LIFE-SPAN VIEW, 6TH EDITION. With its comprehensive, succinct, and applied coverage, the text has proven its ability to capture students' interest while introducing them to the issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are. Robert V. Kail's expertise in childhood and adolescence, combined with John C. Cavanaugh's extensive research in gerontology, result in a book with a rich description of all life-span stages and important topics. A modified chronological approach traces development in sequential order from conception through late life, while also dedicating several chapters to key topical issues. This organization also allows the book to be relatively briefer than other texts a benefit given the enormous amount of information covered in the course.
About the Author
Robert V. Kail is Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. He has served as Associate Editor for the journal Child Development, and is currently Editor of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology and the Editor of Advances in Child Development and Behavior. His research interests are in the area of cognitive development during childhood and adolescence, and focus on the causes and consequences of developmental change in the speed of information processing.
John C. Cavanaugh, Ph.D., University of Notre Dame, is chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Previously, he was President of the University of West Florida. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, The American Psychological Society, and the Gerontological Society of America. He has been an American Council of Education Fellow and elected President of the Adult Development and Aging Division of the APA (Division 20). In addition, Dr. Cavanaugh was a Congressionally selected delegate to the 2005 White House Conference on Aging. His research interests in gerontology concern family care-giving as well as the role of beliefs in older adult's cognitive performance. He is also the co-author of HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LIFE-SPAN VIEW, Sixth Edition, with Robert V. Kail of Purdue University.
This is the required reading for the module I am studying. Human Development: a life-span view, 5th edn, is a well laid out, thorough textbook covering human development from conception to death. It is written from several viewpoints: psychodynamic theory, learning theory, cognitive-developmental theory, ecological and systems approaches, and the life-span perspective, which have been excellently integrated to produce a usefully holistic text. I have only given four stars because unfortunately, the book is full of typos, which is disappointing for a text which is on the more expensive side.
I read this book cover to cover. It was very smooth and kept me interested throughout the chapters. The book is broken down into various life sections and i felt the level of detail was well thought out. It also provides a reference list at the book if you would like more information on a specific topic.
I was interested in taking a course on human development (developmental psychology) and I did some research on the Internet. This book came up in a couple of forums and in random searches, so I came here to Amazon to buy it. Turns out that it was not only a good choice, but a good investment. There's a lot of research that went into making this book the goldmine that it is; especially for someone who wants to know more about the topic. It's obviously written for a college course, but if you are self-directed, you can get the full educational value of this publication and have a junmp-start on course work like I did.

Justin Bieber has resurfaced as one of the most talked about young socialites in Hollywood circles after a short period of disappearance due allegations of some legal problems. Recently Bieber and Jenner were seen together at a New York City studio reported E! Online on April 29, 2014. On Monday the two of them were seen arriving at different times at Silver Cup Studio in Queens, New York.
A source said Bieber arrived at the studios through the garage and soon thereafter Jenner arrived through the front door. They hung out at the studio together for a couple of hours. This meeting occurred just a day after there were rumors that the two might be starring in the next Calvin Klein campaign.
Bieber was also seen enjoying dinner at the well known sushi restaurant Nobu in New York City on Monday
with Jenner according to the New York Daily News. Hailey Baldwin, who is the 18-year-old daughter of Stephen Baldwin, was also at the sushi dinner.
This has all created a lot of gossip in Hollywood circles because Bieber's now again estranged previous girlfriend, Selena Gomez, was apparently once very friendly with the Jenner sisters. Gomez was seen with Kendall and Kylie Jenner at Coachella in mid-April. Than something happened and Gomez deleted both sisters from her social media accounts.
Bieber has been appearing very relaxed in public lately and as usual he likes having a nice date with him. It seems if things are actually permanently finished with Gomez this time around he'll recover well beginning with his new attractive date, Jenner, by his side. Fans appear really happy to see Bieber around town socializing again and as usual working on some entertaining music. This guy is gaining a reputation as having a unique ability to leave scandals behind him and move on in life. He serves as an inspiration for others to do likewise.

Manhwa can come up with some doozies to throw couples together and that is part of its charm. My recent purchase of the three-volume That Guy was Splendid manhwa (after Honey Mustard and Be My Sweet Darling precedents) only proved that even after actively resisting shiny Oooh! Bishounen! lures that resistance is futile.
Am I pleased about it?
Was That Guy really that splendid, that cool, that wicked?
And no.
He was Splendid, He was Cool: What more do you want?
Based on online novelist phenomenon Guiyeoni's Internet novel (also adapted into film as He Was Cool AKA 놈은 멋있었다 Geunomeun meoshiteotda in 2004), the manhwa That Guy was Splendid follows the romantic travails of Ji EunSung and Han YeWon, both 18-year-old high school students.
The story opens in media res, with YeWon and her best girlfriend KyongWon scrambling to escape from something. Or someone. We immediately find out that YeWon is running away from Ji EunSung's gang. Why?—we are not yet told. A convenient brick wall presents itself and the pair rush towards it. As YeWon clambers up and triumphantly leaps down (this is a service shot; the "camera" is placed at a low angle), her inner monologue hints at the state of things to come: «This would be the biggest mistake of my life.»
For YeWon doesn't achieve a perfect 10 landing; a guy with bleached hair is in the way and YeWon slams into this male body and accidentally locks lips with him.
Of course, bleached guy is none other than Ji EunSung.
After a flashback that explains the none-too-cordial meeting of the two (they first traded cheap shots over an internet forum and finally faced off while YeWon was in a salon getting her hair straightened), we return to the present action. As that was EunSung's first kiss, he is now demanding that YeWon take responsibility and marry him.
Will she? The manhwa coyly stops short of explicitly answering this question.
My Thoughts: The Korean Hanadan Wannabe
NOTE: I worship Hanadan and am not feeling particularly generous. If you're an avid fan of That Guy Was Splendid, skip this.
The novelty of a teenaged guy's insistence on marriage or bust aside, the manhwa illustrated by Kim JeaEun zooms off hyperdrive fast after that first kiss. Other reviewers have also observed this. The whiplash pace felt as if Guiyeoni, mindful of her teenaged fanbase, couldn't wait to haul out the trite heavy artillery in her tropes arsenal and shortcut a way to popular success. This is not bad per se; in fact, I would have ignored it, had not the almost non-stop cramming of everything plus the kitchen sink in the first six chapters shrieked of impatience so loudly nor been so obtrusive.
In other words, the plot development was classic forcing the issue; coercing something to grow with unnatural haste. If this hurried superficiality is a trademark, it may explain criticism of Guiyeoni's plots in particular and the internet novelist in general.
But getting on the soapbox to pontificate about instant gratification is equally tired and not at all my main point about TGWS. What struck me more as I strafing-run-read this story was its unsettling similarity to Kamio Yoko-sensei's Hana Yori Dango.
Without any warning, EunSung and YeWon transformed into Tsukasa x Tsukushi wannabe's, albeit without the yama-san of money the Doumyouji scion possesses. Like Tsukasa, EunSung is the leader of a school gang (the (F)4 Heavenly Kings of Sang High School). Like Tsukasa, EunSung's first love is YeWon. At the outset, YeWon like Makino Tsukushi is targeted by this gang headed by the love interest and again, similar to the Hanadan heroine, YeWon initially favors another Heavenly King,
Hanazawa Rui Kim HyunSung but ends up falling for EunSung anyway. So much so that (like Tsukushi), she tries to stop a rival gang bent on beating him up. Those are just the obvious correspondences. The physical comedy, even YeWon and EunSung's bickering have that Hanadan/TxT flavor.
One key difference is provided by Kim JeaEun's art. Tsukasa, Tsukushi, and Rui never looked this good, even on Kamio Yoko-sensei's best day (sorry, Sensei ^^;). But then pretty art is one of manhwa's strongest points so it's understandable. And in Hanadan's defense, the comeliness (or lack of it) is ultimately irrelevant to the story and Kamio Yoko-sensei's character designs could never be described as vapid, even on her worst day.
That I'm ambivalent about TGWS should be overdone by now. Guiyeoni succeeded in getting me to read, but as with the case of junk food, there was no cerebral sustenance to be had. You may argue that if I wanted an intellectual orgasm so much, I shouldn't be turning to graphic novels but I don't believe the genre should be satisfied with its perceived (correctly or not) lowest common denominator status. I think Guiyeoni was attempting to do exactly this with a clumsy attempt at working AIDS into the TGWS story.
As for that similitude with Hanadan, I can only say that Hanadan, at least, achieved surprising depths. TGWS remained boilerplate. Successful, yes. Inventive no.
Would there be an alternate reality in which I would choose not to read That Guy was Splendid? Probably not.
TGWS is destined to become memorable. And I don't mean in the (shudder) Kill Me Kiss Me, Moon Boy or Really?! way—something for which I am eternally grateful.
To reflect both my gratitude and ambivalence, I rate That Guy was Splendid:
5 of 10 accidental kisses

A pair of accidents - one of which involved a tractor pulling a wagon full of people - caused disruptions to the traffic flow on Popes Creek Road Saturday.
Eight people were transported to Spring View Hospital with injuries between the two incidents.
The accidents also caused hours of delays and disrupted the shuttle buses taking Warrior Dash participants to the race site and back to the off-site parking on Fairgrounds Road.
The accidents occurred at 11:45 a.m. on Danville Highway three miles east of Lebanon and at 3:32 p.m. Near 385 Popes Creek Road.
In the age of social media, the public can provide instant feedback about their experiences, and several people posted comments about their experience in Marion County for Kentucky's first Warrior Dash this past Saturday.
Here is a sampling of what people had to say.
From Facebook:
Austin Pendley
A civil suit has been filed against a local nursing home, alleging it failed to supervise a former employee who has been charged with murdering her husband.
Kathleen Wise, 61, of 4203 Bengal Road in Campbellsville, was indicted last July by a Taylor County grand jury and charged with the first-degree murder of her husband, Joseph Kenneth Wise. If convicted, she faces as much as life in prison.
She has formally pleaded not guilty to the crime, and the prosecution has said it will not seek the death penalty.
I'm going to open by saying what you are about to read is not the column I wanted to write.
I wanted to write about how the Warrior Dash was a wonderful experience, about how it showcased our community and about how much I'm looking forward to participating again next year.
Only I can't.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the Warrior Dash, and if it does return, I fully intend to do it again. Even if it doesn't return, I'll probably travel to run another one.
By Nick Schrager
I grew up a gamer. I am a gamer.
The first gaming console my family had was back in the 80's when I was a wee one, the Sega Master System. In fact, I still have it somewhere, minus the electronic pistol it came with, I disassembled that when I was around seven during my phase of taking things apart to find out what made them work.
George Wesley Upton, 33, who walked away from Marion Adjustment Center May 29, has been apprehended.
Upton was serving a 10-year sentence for first-degree wanton endangerment on a police officer and first-degree fleeing and evading.
Details about Upton's capture have not been released. More information will be reported as soon as it becomes available.
On Thursday, the Marion County Fiscal Court approved a request to close a portion of Helm Schoolhouse Road on Saturday, June 23, the day of the Warrior Dash.
The gravel portion of Helm School House Road, between the intersections with Ed Sullivan Road and Popes Creek Road, will be closed from 7 a.m. Saturday morning until the Warrior Dash event has concluded. This is being done to insure emergency vehicles will have access to the race site in the event of an emergency.
Residents who live on Helm Schoolhouse Road will still have access to their homes.
Kentucky's inaugural Warrior Dash will take place in Lebanon Saturday, and the following information was sent to participants via email:
At approximately 3:10 p.m. today, Wednesday, June 20, the Lebanon Fire Department was dispatched to a field fire on St. Rose and Toad Mattingly roads, which was dangerously close to Falcon Crest Subdivision in Lebanon.
Reports were that flames were getting dangerously close to the homes in that specific subdivision. St. Rose Road was temporarily blocked because the flames were so close to the roadway. But the roadway is now open, and the fire is out, according to Emergency Management Director Hayden Johnson.
Firefighters from across Marion County spent nearly four and a half hours containing a house fire at 250 Short Line Pike on June 19. The interior of the house, which belongs to Bo and Nita Sherrell, was completely destroyed, and the roof was damaged as firefighters worked to get the fire out.
No one was injured as a result of the fire. Neither the Sherrells nor their sons, Timothy (7) and Elliot (6), were at home at the time of the fire.

The plywood base before - due to the knots in the wood I knew that painting wasn't really an option as it wouldn't completely hide the flaws.
So here was my solution. I took two packages of printed origami paper and cut it into quarters. I applied Mod Podge to the back of each piece with a brush, then coated the top with more Mod Podge so the entire base was sealed.
After being Mod Podged with Origami Paper
As some of you might know, I fold origami cranes. Thousands upon thousands of them over the past decade.
I wanted to use a set as the backdrop for our ceremony as 1000 cranes are considered "Good Luck" to the bride and groom at Japanese American Weddings.
Because we had a short engagement, 5 months, I didn't have time to fold a new set so my sister loaned back to me the 1000 I had made for her wedding.
For her wedding we had hung them from a grapevine wreath. At our hotel there was nowhere to suspend a hanging fixture from so I needed to come up with a free standing base to display them on. My solution was to find an iron garden arch and hang them from it.
After a ton of web surfing I came up with this delicate, scrolled arch. I even bloggged about it! It was a bit on the flimsy side so to get it to stand upright we needed to screw the feet down to a wooden base. A quick trip to Home depot, 6 wood screws, two packages of printed origami paper and a bottle of Mod Podge later and we were set.
After finishing the wooden rounds I began weaving grape vine along the top of the arch. From that I suspended origami wisteria and leaves. My friend Melany Moore from Shanel's Flowers and Frames volunteered to learn how to make them and folded 3 of the 5 wisteria cones that adorned the arch on our wedding day.

Dancing With The Stars Premiere 2011

The hair was styled. The sequins sewn. The toes pointed. And the breath bated. As the 12th season of Dancing With The Stars kicked off in the States last night, all eyes were undoubtedly on Cheers actress Kirstie Alley. The eldest contender (looking amazing at 60!), Kirstie wowed the judges with her seductive routine with partner Maskin Chmerkovskiy. With judge Bruno Tonioli boldly stating "Your foot placement was the best of the night", Kirstie was visibly stunned when her score of 23 out of 30 moved her to second place.

Knits are a great fall treat that we look forward to all year long. We love the scarves, gloves, hats, and even sweaters that keep us warm when it's a tad bit nippy outside. One thing in knit that we didn't expect was a handbag. This Misha Lampert Knit Hobo Bag ($290) is super cute and goes well with all of our other knit items we pile on this time of year.

In 2006, according to International Federation of Robotics (IFR) the number of industrial robots supplied in India almost doubled from 2005, to around 850 robots, 56 per cent of which were industrial robots for welding applications. When compared to the developed markets, this represents a small investment, but given the dramatic escalation within such a short period this only reinforces the potential of this growing market. Robots are used to handle the parts that need to be welded and perform the weld. Robots are generally used when you want to do welding of high quality, greater consistency and high productivity. The chief components of robot welding station are robot, welding power source, sensors, software for integration and programming, fixture and manipulators and safety system.
The selection criteria of fixtures, manipulators and safety are many. High accuracy is required for tracking fixture to insure consistency in input component. Welding fixtures eliminate distortion while welding. Manipulator–single, double or multiple axis try to carry out maximum possible welding in down-hand position.Robot positioning helps increase the work envelope of the robot.Operator safety while loading and unloadingOperator safety while welding (accidental exposure)System safety from external damageFume extraction system
Process and status of robotic welding
Robotic welding in India can be relatively expensive, difficult for some industries to bring in more investment and upgrade their level of automation. To employ robots to weld in place of human beings could be expensive in short run but would definitely yield profit for the organisation in the long term. Some of the benefits to use robotic welding are better and consistent quality, less time consumption, minimal or no human interference and round the clock functioning The robot in general have two parts: the robot and the controller which is also called as the 'brain' of the operation and together they actually perform the application.
Integration of sensors in a welding system enhances the quality of the welds produced. Variations in three welding process parameters - weld bead width, penetration depth, and torch position -were monitored using an infrared sensor. Intentionally induced variations in each of these welding parameters were found to affect uniquely the plate surface temperature distributions measured by the infrared sensor. The effects of weld bead width and torch position perturbations on the temperature distribution were separated so as to identify and control these two weld process parameters simultaneously. Robotic welding systems which cannot adapt in real time to changes in the joint geometry along the weld seam and to the seam position itself have only limited success in many welding applications, due to heat distortion of the weld to an overall shift in the weld seam caused by fixturing errors. A solution to this problem requires the application of some form of adaptive joint geometry sensing system for guidance of the welding torch. Research is described that addresses the general aluminium welding problem by integrating a laser-based part-profiling sensor with a welding robot. An adaptive system has been developed for this kind of process. A PC-compatible microcomputer serves as the system supervisor, commands the motion of the robot directs and processes the sensor scans, and establishes the required weld parameters. In the aircraft industry, joining technologies get more and more importance, because they represent a high expense factor when components have to be assembled. Riveting is the current state-of-the-art joining method due to its very safe and robust application. However, it is a time- and weight-consuming technology as it requires overlapping sections that have to be drilled in order to place the rivets in up to three rows. Thus, the aircraft industry currently evaluates several welding technologies to reduce production and maintenance cost as well as the weight of aircrafts for longer range and higher efficiency. Friction stir welding (FSW) represents an innovative joining technology that allows the welding of all aluminum alloys of interest with excellent seam properties and with thicknesses from 0.3 to 50 mm and more. The substitution of automated riveting by FSW can lead to a significant reduction of process time and a cost reduction of up to 20 per cent. In contrast to conventional welding techniques FSW requires high process forces, which act on the joining partners and the actuator. Thus, usually special and individual machines have been designed and built, leading to significant investment costs and the risk of missing reliability after delivery caused by the low production rate and the lack of experience with the individual machine type.
Kuka playing major role
Kuka Robotics is one of the worldwide leading suppliers of industrial robot technologies. It has an installed base of more than 600 robots in India and out of which majority are used for different welding operations. Robotic welding has emerged as one of the prime applications as of today in the Indian market because of the fact that the robots can work faster, efficiently, repeatedly and more importantly in harsh conditions as well to produce a good and consistent product. Moreover, the Indian industries have also realised that the use of human beings particularly for the welding applications is inhuman in nature and also not productive.
The company has supplied number of robotic welding systems to the Indian industry be it an OEM or heavy metal industries for different applications like spot welding, arc welding, etc. Some of the key customers are TATA Motors, Volkswagen India, and WRI Trichy, etc.

This Isn't The Sort Of Thing That Happens To Someone Like You
Genre: Literary
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: 02/02/2012
John Lloyd 31 January 2012 - 3:56pm
Don't pick this book up expecting a standard collection of short stories.
Several pieces of it comply – and do so very enjoyably – but other works are very fragmentary and short, and often hide as much as they reveal. Also, other parts combine, nudging the work nearly to novel status – and it would be a very intriguing novel too, covering hidden corpses on the Fenlands, and a disastrous flood.
Throughout it all, McGregor is always active in changing his narrative approach. A poet's drafts, academic footnotes, public confessions, gossip – all are used to convey something. And while the stories are commonly a strong narrative episode whatever their format, what comes across most throughout is the nuanced edge, the mood of the book and its settings and characters. This is aided by the amount of detail the reader is forced to fill in themselves.
With death, accidents and unusual personalities involved, and whatever the flood stories all add up to – there's something very mysterious that needs picking through. With McGregor clearly a writer of major skill and able to show great variation, and this book somewhere between novel and linked short stories, that picking is strongly recommended.

The Wolf of Wall Street review: A questionable successMovies
Trailer: The Wolf of Wall Street
Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stockbroker to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.PT2M30S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2yptb 620 349 December 4, 2013
Reviewer rating:
(R) 179 minutes
General release
At the start of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), the wolf of the title, is a self-made millionaire living high on the hog. He runs a successful brokerage firm, Stratton Oakmont, that peddles worthless stocks to naive investors. He's married to a beautiful woman, Naomi (Margot Robbie), whom he cheats on almost daily. And he enjoys all the finer things in life, from Quaaludes to cocaine.
Wolf seems like a throwback to the Scorsese of Goodfellas and Casino - one more spectacularly profane docudrama devoted to the brutal underside of American life. But, unlike its predecessors, it isn't a gangster movie as such; rather, it makes the bold assumption that business and crime are essentially identical.
While the rise and fall of Stratton Oakmont occurred in the 1990s, the film is plainly fuelled by anger over the global financial crisis a decade on: with hindsight, Belfort can be viewed as a typical product of a corrupt system, not as a bad apple on an otherwise healthy tree.
This might be the most obvious film Scorsese has made: everything is out in the open, bluntly stated, free of metaphor. The screenplay by former Sopranos writer Terence Winter has just one point to make - that Belfort and his associates are horrible pigs - and makes it over and over. The absence of character development is matched by an outwardly flat, perfunctory style: the slick tracking shots suggest weary self-parody, while the many vintage music cues add little beyond laboured sarcasm.
Still, all this is apt enough for an epic depiction of waste, entropy and wretched excess. Scorsese even manages to make meaningful use of the innate annoyingness of Jonah Hill as Jordan's best bud, Donnie Azoff, an obese, jabbering little troll who serves as a manifestation of his mentor's id.
Much of the humour depends on the contrast between the realm of finance, ruled by numbers and abstractions, and the material world of obscene luxury, occupied by bodies that are either impossibly glamorous or absurdly grotesque. In a climactic setpiece, Jordan gets so high on Quaaludes he's unable to speak or move; lying on his stomach, he wriggles towards his car like the grub he is, a callback to an earlier scene in which he and his gang demonstrate a surprising familiarity with Tod Browning's 1932 horror classic Freaks.
At such moments, Wolf begs for comparison with other recent American provocations such as Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers and Michael Bay's Pain and Gain. Yet for all the decadence and vulgarity on show, we're rarely allowed the response of straightforwardly superior laughter. A genuinely brilliant salesman, Jordan uses his incessant voiceover to win us to his side: one of the film's main formal pleasures is the way this unreliable narration appears to be steering the flow of imagery, which nonetheless occasionally slips out of its control.
It's clear by now DiCaprio's strength lies in villainy, and he's even funnier and more physically effective here than he was as a preening slaveowner in Django Unchained. His Jordan isn't bottled up, like other characters he has played for Scorsese: he's outgoing, demonstrative, a people person. He knows exactly how to tap into the greed and snobbery of his victims - and he has no qualms about fleecing them, for wouldn't they do the same if they had the chance?
Curiously, it's the star's charm that lends the film its subversive edge. Jordan is a monster, but also a handsome winner who personifies the American Dream; his tastes, while hardly exquisite, are wholly in tune with mainstream notions of success. Even viewers repelled by his more brazen transgressions might long to drive his white Ferrari, live in his mock-Tudor mansion, or wear his pin-stripe suits. As Catholic as ever, Scorsese gives the devil no more than his due: if wickedness wasn't attractive, why would anyone be tempted to sin?

Wyoming Cowgirl Basketball Announces 2000-2001 Schedule
Aug. 22, 2000
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Five teams that competed in postseason play will highlight the Wyoming Cowgirl 2000-2001 basketball schedule, announced Tuesday by UW Associate Athletic Director Barbara Burke.
Brigham Young, Colorado State and Utah competed in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, while New Mexico and Kansas State played in the WNIT. The Cowgirls will face the Kansas State Wildcats in the opening round of the Oregon State Classic, and have a regular home-and-away series with BYU, CSU, New Mexico and Utah.
The schedule will open up with the Cowgirls playing the first six of eight games at home, beginning with an exhibition game on Nov. 9 and ending with Weber State on Dec. 6. They will play in the Oregon State Beaver Classic on Nov. 25-26.
The Cowgirls will open up Mountain West Conference play at home on Jan. 13 against rival Colorado State. They will hit the road the following weekend with match-ups against Brigham Young and Utah.
"I'm excited that we could increase our non-conference home schedule quite a bit this year," said head coach Cindy Fisher. "This will give us a chance to showcase the Cowgirls in Laramie early in the year. I believe that we have put together a very challenging non-conference schedule that should prepare us for another tough conference schedule."
Fisher enters her third season with the Cowgirl Basketball Program. She returns four starters and ten letterwinners to this year's squad, including First Team All-MWC selection Carrie Bacon.

Friday's Opponent, North Carolina: The Tar Heels (20-5 last year) have won 22 national championships, all under Anson Dorrance, now in his 36th season as head coach. North Carolina returns three players from the FIFA Under-20 Women's Cup -- junior forward Summer Green (U.S.), jr. MF/D Katie Bowen (New Zealand), and Mexico sophomore midfielder Jenny Chiu. Green also is on the Hermann Trophy watch list. The Tar Heels, the 2012 NCAA champs, reached the 2013 NCAA quarterfinals before losing to eventual champion UCLA in double overtime. UNC is No. 4 on the NSCAA rankings and picked to finish third in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Stanford-North Carolina Series: Stanford is seeking its first victory over the Tar Heels, who hold a 9-0-3 all-time series lead. Stanford never led at any point in the all-time series until Christen Press scored in the 32nd minute of a 2010 regular-season draw in Chapel Hill. The teams have met twice in the College Cup in the past six years, with North Carolina winning each 1-0 in the rain, first in the 2009 final in College Station, Texas, and then in a 2012 double-overtime semifinal in San Diego. Stanford is 0-1-1 in the series in Chapel Hill.
Big Matches in Stanford-UNC History: Stanford and North Carolina have met twice in the College Cup and once in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. Here is a list of their most important matchups:
• Nov. 30, 2012: No. 13 North Carolina 1, No. 1 Stanford 0 (2OT), NCAA College Cup semifinal in San Diego, Calif.: In rainy conditions, Kealia Ohai scored a golden goal off the post at 104:08, in the second overtime. Six current Stanford players were involved in that match. Laura Liedle, Chioma Ubogagu, Lo'eau LaBonta, and Alex Doll started and Hannah Farr and Halen Rosen came off the bench.
• Aug. 27, 2010: No. 2 Stanford 2, No. 1 North Carolina 2 (2OT), in Chapel Hill, N.C.: In a rematch of the 2009 NCAA final, Stanford took leads on goals by Christen Press and Teresa Noyola, but failed to hold them. UNC tied the score in the 71st minute on a goal by Amber Brooks. Press' goal was the first lead Stanford ever had taken on UNC, in the 11th matchup and 972nd minute of the all-time series.
• Dec. 6, 2009: No. 4 North Carolina 1, No. 1 Stanford 0, NCAA College Cup final, College Station, Texas: North Carolina took advantage of a goal by Jessica McDonald only 2:50 into the match and withstood two apparent Stanford goals that were disallowed by offside, including a shorthanded long-range shot by Christen Press in the 89th minute on a rainy day at Texas A&M. The Stanford team was stacked with three eventual Hermann Trophy winners -- Kelley O'Hara (2009), Press (2010), and Teresa Noyola (2011).
• Sept. 12, 2008: No. 3 Stanford 1, No. 5 North Carolina 1 (2OT), in Stanford, Calif.: In a match that launched Stanford as a national contender, Kelley O'Hara tied it on an 87th-minute breakaway before an overflow home crowd of 2,273.
• Oct. 4, 2002: No. 2 North Carolina 1, No. 1 Stanford 0, in Moraga, Calif.: Stanford had just achieved the first No. 1 ranking in its history, and got six saves from Nicole Barnhart, but fell on a 60th minute goal by Alyssa Ramsey at St. Mary's College.
* * *
Sunday's Opponent, Duke: The Blue Devils are predicted to finish fifth in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is No. 18 in the NSCAA preseason poll. The Blue Devils went 9-9-6 last season, which ended with a 3-0 NCAA quarterfinal loss to Virginia Tech. Duke opens its season Friday against Ohio State in Chapel Hill. Sophomore defender Christina Gibbons was a member of the U.S. team that just concluded play at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.
The Stanford-Duke Series: The last time these teams played, Stanford got a second-half header from Teresa Noyola to beat the Blue Devils 1-0 in the 2011 NCAA final in Kennesaw, Ga. Stanford leads the all-time series, 7-1. In 2010, they played at Carolina, with Christen Press scoring the winner in the 75th minute to complete a Cardinal rally in a 2-1 victory. All of Stanford's previous victories took place from 1989 to 1994, all by one goal. Duke won 3-0 in 1996.
* * *
Season in Review: For the first time in six years, the College Cup did not include Stanford. However, Stanford advanced to the third round of the 2013 NCAA tournament and reached 15 victories, each for the eighth consecutive season. The Cardinal (15-6-1 overall, 6-5 Pac-12) extended its ongoing NCAA tournament home winning streak to 21, extended its home unbeaten streak to 73, and its conference winning streak to 44. The home unbeaten streak was the second-longest in NCAA Division I history. Taylor Uhl led the Pac-12 in goals, with 12, and three players -- Maddie Bauer, Lo'eau LaBonta and Courtney Verloo -- were NSCAA All-Pacific Region first-team selections.
* * *
Tough Schedule: Some facts about Stanford's 2014 schedule:
• Of the eight schools that have won NCAA women's soccer titles (not including Stanford), Stanford plays seven of them. George Mason is the exception.
• Opponents have combined for 30 of 31 all-time non-Stanford NCAA titles.
• Of teams in the NSCAA preseason rankings, Stanford plays seven of the Top 25, five of the top 11, and two of the top four, including No. 1.
• Eleven opponents are coming off NCAA tournament appearances, and eight of those advanced past the first round.
• Sixteen opponents were .500 or better last season, including all nine nonconference foes.
• Six opponents won regular-season conference championships.
* * *
U-20 World Cup: Three Stanford players -- sophomore goalkeeper Jane Campbell, sophomore defender Stephanie Amack, and freshman midfielder Andi Sullivan -- were on the U.S. team at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Canada. The U.S. reached the quarterfinals Saturday before losing to North Korea on penalty kicks. Amack and Sullivan started all four matches for the U.S., Amack at right outside back and Sullivan as a holding midfielder. They each joined the Stanford team at training on Monday and are on the trip to Chapel Hill. Senior forward Chioma Ubogagu and Amack were on the winning U.S. team in 2012.
* * *

Hermann Trophy Watch List: Two Stanford players were named to the Hermann Trophy watch list – seniors Lo'eau LaBonta and Taylor Uhl. The award is presented by the Missouri Athletic Club to the nation's top player. Stanford has won three times: Kelley O'Hara in 2009, Christen Press in 2010, and Teresa Noyola in 2011.
* * *
Returning All-Conference: Four returning Stanford players were recognized by the Pac-12 last season. Then-junior midfielder Lo'eau LaBonta and freshman central defender Maddie Bauer were named to the second team, and junior forward Chioma Ubogagu was honorable mention. Also, Bauer and midfielder/defender Stephanie Amack were named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team.
* * *
Two-sport Star: Stanford senior Hannah Farr also plays lacrosse and was named IWLCA second-team All-America in that sport in 2014. Farr also was named Player of the Year in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and to the IWLCA All-West Region first team. Farr scored 31 goals and had 13 assists last year for a Cardinal lacrosse team that advanced to the NCAA tournament.
* * *
Scoring Machine: Stanford senior Taylor Uhl is the second-leading active scorer in NCAA Division I, with 48 goals. She trails only Illinois State's Rachel Tejada, who has 54 career goals. Uhl arrived last season as a junior transfer from Minnesota, where she led the nation in goals (21) and points (51) in 2012 and earned NSCAA third-team All-America honors. Uhl's 12 goals last year led the Pac-12.
Uhl's year-by-year scoring statistics:
