The eye-witnesses to the shooting,
a sister ot the dead negro and ono
of bis brothers-in-law, testified that
the affair was entirely an accident
and that the little : fellow did not
Intend to shoot the gun at all and
that there was no Intention of killing

effect in both of the negro's legs.
This happened last Wednesday, and

laid before the coroner's jury, ?they
rendered \a verdict iii rough itioir
foramen, M. L. Carlisle, to the effect
that the shooting was accidental and!

gro waa ongaged In making propara
tlona for hts marriage, which -was to
have taken place next Sunday.

When Will The Feds Realize That Marijuana Legalization Is More Popular Than Obama?
Colorado Amendment 64 Received More Votes In Colorado Than The Obama Campaign
As loyal readers know, I just got back from Denver, Colorado where voters recently passed Amendment 64. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that marijuana prohibition is dead in Colorado and Washington State. I find myself pumping my fist into the air in an expression of victory from time to time, whether there are people around or not.
The federal government is ramping up it's rhetoric, claiming that they will not allow a state to respect it's citizenry and not respect the democratic process in Colorado. Those 'boogey man tactics' haven't stopped us from implementing marijuana reform before, and there's no way we are going to let it stop us now! Our friends at the Marijuana Majority posted a fantastic pic after the election that I think sums up the mood in Colorado and beyond:
As of the last official count I saw, with 100% of Colorado precincts reporting, 1,291,771 votes in favor of Amendment 64 had been counted, compared to 1,238,490 votes for Obama received 1,238,490 votes. That means legalizing marijuana in Colorado was 53,281 votes more popular than the President of the United States. When I say that marijuana legalization is more popular than our commander in chief, I'm not stating a subjective claim – it's a mathematical fact!

Washing, drying, organizing
30 HeartStrings quilts that Keith and I will deliver to Ronald McDonald House tomorrow.
In addition to the ones I made from start to finish myself, all but one of these were quilted by me and most were also bound by me but I had a lot of help via tops that were donated and a few were bound by Sheree and Cindy.
So how do you evaluate how you're doing on your stashbusting efforts?
December marks my 5th blogging anniversary and as I was looking back over my first few entries I found this photo of my stash.
And here's one I took today (don't mind the mess!)
So I think overall I have less fabric on the shelves but I also have MORE scraps and strings as you can see in this corner. (I did tell you to ignore the MESS!)
I'm not displeased with my efforts over the last 5 years and I've changed the way I quilt in that time too. I do continue to buy fabric so I have a good variety on hand for my scrap quilts but I never have to shop to start making a quilt … I just go to the shelves and start pulling.
So how about you? Have you made progress? or stopped stashbusting all together?
A ME day
After being gone the last month I have tons to do to get ready for Christmas and a visit from Chris and Becky BUT it's snowing!
So, instead of working I walked in the snow, got my haircut, and am getting caught up on emails and such on my computer at the coffee shop! All the photos should enlarge if you click on them….don't you love the ornaments on the tree in my neighbor's yard?
My last day in Virginia
Mom's doing well and I'm heading home tomorrow but we still had time today to work on some projects.
She decided the tree skirt she was making needed some appliqué so I found a tree and we got them arranged and she's in the process of stitching them down. She also decided she wanted to make another elephant quilt so I played in EQ6 and drafted this little quilt.
Bias edges for the fan blocks
My Bethany Reynolds book was here at Mom's so I didn't use her instructions but after having several questions I did a google search and found this tutorial online which was similar to how I edged my fan blocks. You could also use ric-rac or piping I bet.
Tutorial for edging fan blocks
I sewed my fan blocks down by hand using an applique stitch and then fused my quarter circles and stitched them by hand too but with a blanket stitch.
The Fan blocks are done
I laid them all out in straight rows as I intended to set them but then I took a photo of them at an angle that shows what they would look like on point and I believe I'm going to go with the on point set. I'm still debating what I'm going to do for borders….but which set do you like??
Tonya's book is on it's way!
I've always loved Tonya's quilts and she was one of my inspirations when I decided that I was going to start quilting freehand Baptist Fans on my longarm. They've become my favorite quilting designs for my scrappy quilts so I was excited when I heard she was writing a book on her freeform pieced letters.
I did make an attempt to make some letters myself but so far haven't used them. My intention at the time was to do a quilt border on my HeartStrings quilt but then decided that I'd add them to the backing…so far the top and letters are incomplete but I just changed my UFO list for 2011 and I will get this quilt finished next year…why is it that projects for ME always get pushed to the bottom of the list?
Below you can see my letters and if you visit Amazon.com, you can even take a peak inside Tonya's book (which will be waiting for me when I arrive home on Sunday!)
Tis the season to give
I'm still keeping up with my Christmas journal and the prompt on the 14th was on gift giving. Years ago we stopped giving presents and started making a donation to Habitat for Humanity and we continued that tradition this year, we also added a donation for Heifer International, another organization that I like to contribute to. In this holiday season, I hope everyone who is able will think about helping those that are less fortunate.
What are you working on today?
Mom's working on a tree skirt.
We're working together on some minkee backed receiving blankets.
And now I'm getting ready to do more hand stitching on my fans. The big stack are the ones pinned and ready to be stitched but I am making progress moving them to the finished stack..
Back to fans
I've got my sock legs done and am ready to move on to the heels but tonight I'm working on stitching down my fan blocks.

On Friday, March 5th, 2004, the SELINSGROVE AREA HIGH SCHOOL SYMPHONIC BAND will present its 12th annual "Guest Artist Night" concert. This year's concert will again showcase the talents of our students combined with local and professional musicians. Appearing this year with the band will be George Rabbai, one of the most sought after classical and jazz trumpet soloists in New York City. Mr. Rabbai's first national recognition as a trumpeter came when he joined the Woody Herman Orchestra, touring as a jazz soloist. He currently has been working as a soloist behind vocalist Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, Margeret Whiting, and was featured with Tony Bennett on his recent television special, "Tony Bennett With Love." George is currently on the faculties of Philadelphia's University of the Arts and Rowan University. With the Selinsgrove Band, Mr. Rabbai will be performing Goedecki's Concert Etude, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and John LaBarbara's Tiger Of San Pedro.
|The concert will also feature local professional musicians Dale Orris, Jeff Chubb, Beverly Conrad, and Greg Burgess. Mr. Chubb and Mr. Orris have performed on trumpet with many big name artists such as Maynard Ferguson, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. Fiddler Beverly Conrad and pianist Greg Burgess are widely known throughout the region and have been the "house band" at Penn's Tavern on Saturday nights for the past 10 years.
|One of the most entertaining selections of the evening will most likely be Robert W. Smith's original arrangement, A Nation's Flight, paying a tribute to the 100th anniversary of flight. Among the Selinsgrove High Student soloists featured will be Leonard Rubin, performing the piano solo to George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
|The cost for this entertaining evening is $1.00 for students and $4.50 for adults. For more information, contact Mr. Smith at his e-mail or during school hours at 372-2222.

Around £20,000 has been saved up entirely by the amateur organisation, based on George Street, to pay for building work to be carried out and to allow the outfit to become 'more professional'.
A new area for keeping props and costumes in has been created upstairs, while the actors will also have dressing rooms and a new make-up area.
The money has been raised by the society alone over the last few years when a conscious decision was made to modernise and make their five productions of the year run more smoothly.
The Society will reopen in September with a series of events.
The grand reopening itself is set for September 13 where there will be various stalls and a display of old pictures.
A week later, a special memories concert will be held in tribute to former members of the society who have recently died.
Julia Fellows, Dennis Gent and Harry Steele put in around 100 years service between them and they along with others will be remembered with some of their favourite music played.

HOUSTON - Tulane men's tennis recorded six singles victories and four doubles wins on the opening day of the 2012 Hampton Inn Galleria Rice Fall Invitational at the Jake Hess Tennis Stadium on Friday afternoon.
The Green Wave were led by seniors Idan Mark and Joe Young who each earned a victory in Flight A singles and the pair teamed up to collect two doubles wins in Flight A as well. Mark defeated Texas Tech's Gabriel Wanderley, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6, in singles, while Young edged Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Matt Westmoreland, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the second round.
The pair reached the finals of the Flight A doubles with an 8-4 win over Rice's Jonathan Chang and Peter Frank and an 8-2 victory over TAMCC's Peter Nagy and Oden Bertha. Mark and Young will face teammates Dominik Koepfer and Rodrigo Rappaccioli in the title match on Sunday. Koepfer and Rappaccioli defeated TAMCC Westmoreland and Guillaume Rauseo, 8-1, and got past Rice's Tommy Bennett and Adam Gustafsson, 8-5.
Freshman twins Ian and Alex Van Cott each won their first singles matches of their collegiate careers. Alex defeated New Mexico's Mitch Daniels, 6-4, 6-4, in Flight C, while Ian got past Texas Tech's Jeff Bryan, 6-0, 6-1, in the same flight. Junior Takuma Ohashi also advanced in Flight C with a 7-5, 6-1, victory over Javier Pujol of TAMCC.
Sophomore Cedric Rutsaert also earned a singles win, taking care of TAMCC's Daniel Erbacher, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, in Flight D.
The Van Cott twins also collected a doubles victory in Flight B before falling in the semifinals.
The tournament continues on Saturday afternoon with singles, while doubles resumes on Sunday.

Deep within the vaults of the Pentagon is a strategy plan for the military to stave off a zombie apocalypse. It is also accessible over a "secure Internet website," reports the spokesperson for the Strategic Command. Apparently, this is not a joke, but an official plan for the military and the government to follow if zombies try to inherit the earth, according to Newsday on May 16.
Does the government know something the general public doesn't know, like there's actually a possibility that the dead can rise one day and start eating the living? Or is this a case of the top brass watching way too much TV?
While plans exist for ever other type of crisis like a nuclear attack or some type of biological weapon attack, this zombie attack is detailed on how to respond if zombies attacked. It is designed to guide the military in the best way to "preserve the sanctity of human life."
After watching "The Walking Dead" series that is aired on AMC, you would understand why a plan for a zombie apocalypse was definitely needed. Once the zombies hit it was every man for himself and the world was thrown into lawless chaos. But that is fiction, isn't it? How could the dead rise up and rule the earth?
The plan, which is officially tagged as "CONOP 888," is actually a zombie survival plan. It is described as:
"It's a zombie survival plan, a how-to guide for military planners trying to isolate the threat from a menu of the undead -- from chicken zombies to vegetarian zombies and even "evil magic zombies"
CNN News explains the plan as:
"Officials from U.S. Strategic Command used the specter of a planet-wide attack by the walking dead as a training template for how to plan for real-life, large-scale operations, emergencies and catastrophes."
This plan was devised in 2009 and 2010 by military planners assigned to the U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha, Nebraska. While it covers everything from the political fallout to securing the Internet, this plan was devised using "zombies as their muse."
While a zombie apocalypse is an impossibility and thankfully the government realizes this too, the plan used the zombies because it is a scenario that covers just about every possible aspect of a grand scale crisis.
Being prepared for a zombie apocalypse pretty much covers almost any disaster, as far as the fallout. Besides using the zombie scenario as a muse, the planners didn't want any mistakes made when they had a large-scale fictional training scenario with the public believing it is the real thing.
Navy Capt. Pamela Kunze, who is a spokesperson for the Strategic Command acknowledges the existence of the documents making up a zombie apocalypse plan. She reports that it exists on a "secure internet site." She also explained the use of the zombies for an apocalypse training:
"Planners . . . realized that training examples for plans must accommodate the political fallout that occurs if the general public mistakenly believes that a fictional training scenario is actually a real plan," the authors wrote, adding: "Rather than risk such an outcome by teaching our augmentees using the fictional 'Tunisia' or 'Nigeria' scenarios used at Joint Combined War-fighting School, we elected to use a completely-impossible scenario that could never be mistaken for a real plan."
When the CDC had their zombie training scenario, no one mistook the training for a real-life catastrophe. The military lays claim to the zombie apocalypse plan before anyone else. Apparently the CDC borrowed their idea.
You have to admit the plan reads a bit bizarre. It goes on to give different zombie-types, such as "vegetarian zombies," "chicken zombies" and "evil magic zombies." The catalog of zombies includes zombies from outer space, zombies created by Frankensteinian bio-engineers and humans who have been turned into zombies via a pathogen.
The different zombie types are just cute titles for the different types of real-life catastrophes that could occur. No one can say that the U.S. Government isn't creative!

Barley genome unravelled
An international consortium of scientists has published a high resolution draft of the barley genome in the journal Nature. The research will help to produce new and better barley varieties that are vital for the beer and whisky industries. The UK team behind the research was led by Professor Robbie Waugh of Scotland's James Hutton Institute who worked with researchers at The Genome Analysis Centre, Norwich.
Barley is the second most important crop in UK agriculture and malting barley (some 30% of the total) underpins the beer and whisky sector that is worth some £20 billion to the UK economy. The breakthrough is a critical step towards barley varieties able to cope with the demands of climate change. It should also help in the fight against cereal crop diseases that cause millions of pounds of losses annually.
Barley is the world's fourth most important cereal crop both in terms of area of cultivation and in quantity of grain produced. In addition to whisky and beer, barley is also a major component of the animal feed that underpins the meat and dairy industries. Barley straw is a source of nutrition for ruminants, used for animal bedding in the winter, and used for frost protection in horticulture.
The barley genome is almost twice the size of that of humans and determining the sequence of its DNA has presented a major challenge. This is largely because its genome contains a large proportion of closely related sequences that are difficult to piece together into a true linear order.
By developing and applying a series of innovative strategies that allowed them to circumvent these difficulties, the International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium (IBSC), including UK researchers in Dundee and Norwich and funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Scottish Government, has managed to construct a high resolution draft DNA sequence assembly that contains the majority of barley genes in linear order.
Their publication provides a detailed overview of the functional portions of the barley genome, revealing the order and structure of most of its 32,000 genes and a detailed analysis of where and when genes are switched on in different tissues and at different stages of development. They describe the location of dynamic regions of the genome that, for example, contain genes conferring resistance to diseases. This will provide a far better understanding of the crop's immune system. The achievement also highlights with unprecedented detail the differences between several different barley cultivars.
Professor Waugh commented: "Access to the assembled catalogue of gene sequences will streamline efforts to improve barley production through breeding for varieties better able to withstand pests and disease and deal with adverse environmental conditions such as drought and heat stress.
"It will accelerate research in barley, and its close relative, wheat. Armed with this information breeders and scientists will be much better placed to deal with the challenge of effectively addressing the food security agenda under the constraints of a rapidly changing environment."
Commenting on the importance of this publication, Professor Douglas Kell, BBSRC Chief Executive said: "This provides a timely and important new tool for unlocking the potential of better varieties of barley that are able to cope with environmental stresses or produce higher yields. It is an exceptionally valuable step for UK agriculture at a time when we have seen huge losses in the field due to wet weather and price-rise predictions for the consumer."
The IBSC was founded in 2006, and includes scientists from Germany, Japan, Finland, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and China. The genome sequence and related resources are freely accessible online.
Notes for editors
Paper: A physical, genetic and functional sequence assembly of the barley genome. The International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium. Nature, 18 October 2012.
Barley is the second most important crop in UK agriculture. Malting barley (some 30% of the total) underpins the beer and whisky sector that is worth some £20 billion to the UK economy with almost £5 billion flowing directly to the treasury as duty. Lower quality grain and by-products of the malting process are a major component of the animal feed that underpins the meat and dairy industries and barley straw is a source of nutrition for ruminants, is used for animal bedding in the winter and for frost protection in horticulture. In social terms, barley cultivation and its use in the whisky industry indirectly supports up to 40,000 families in Scotland, largely in rural communities. Over the past 50 years barley grain yields, have more than doubled with recent analysis revealing that greater than 90% of this improvement can be attributed to genetics
The James Hutton Institute was formed in 2011 by the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute in Aberdeen and SCRI, the Scottish Crop Research Institute based in Invergowrie near Dundee, Scotland. The Institute encompasses a distinctive range of integrated, world-class strengths in land, crop, water, environmental and socio-economic science. It undertakes a wide range of research for customers including the Scottish and UK Governments, the EU and other organisations worldwide. The institute has a staff of nearly 600 and 125 PhD students.

Aliens vs Predator (pc game)
0 out of 5 (not yet rated)
- Genre: Action, FPS (First Person Shooter), Aliens invasion
- System: Windows
- Software house: Electronic Arts
- Year: 1999
An awesome classic
If this game isn't fun I don't know what is! Released by Fox Interactive in 1999, this action shooter brings back the sensation for which the Alien versus Predator movie series got popular. You can play as one of the three races Human Marine, Predator or Alien. Unfortunately the levels do not have intra-save, and you are obliged to restart each failed mission from the beginning which tends to somewhat irritate the player. This features are also shared by Aliens vs Predator 2. As any shooter you have to travel between points, kill a lot of enemies and flip many switches, making you way through some military installment, passing through alien environments sometimes, seeing the outdoors once in a while. The Marine, the most fragile in the game, as in the movies, has to face a harsh challenge, because a few hard blows from an alien, a too long exposure to his acid or a single wrap from a facehugger, can put you down for good. As a Marine you make your way passing by flashing red lights, sirens, throwing flares to light the horrifying pitch black, and having your adrenaline pumped when the motion detector signals the presence of aliens nearby. An alternative to the flares is the visual-intensifier gadget that helps you aim at the extraterrestrial enemies. The marine has a neat array of weapons from sub-machine guns to grenade launching pulse rifles, rocker launchers and even flame-throwers. The Predator is pretty traditional, and is very effective against all races with his stealth mode and infravision capabilities.The Alien is a non-ranged race, the only ways of attack possible being near the enemy, striking him with a dagger-like tail or claws. Luckily, the aliens have great speed and great attack power, extermination being easily attainable through a fish-eye perspective. The graphics are good for a classic shooter and the dynamics make the gaming experience even better. The game has also multiplayer capabilities enhancing the gameplay experience once more.Overall, this classic shooter is great fun and you are highly recommended to try it out.

Home prices in Las Vegas started the year right where they left off at the end of 2013. At the end of last year, the median sales price for an existing home was $185,000 which was unchanged in January of this year. The median sales price of condos and townhomes in January came in at $92,500. Those prices are up 23.3% overall from 12 months prior.
GLVAR President Heidi Kasama says January is typically a slow month for sales in Las Vegas, so she was not surprised to see no change from December. She says home prices are now stabilizing after a two year run of appreciation and sees the stabilization as an indication of a healthy market. Home prices bottomed out in January 2012 at a median price of $118,000.
Distressed properties continue to account for a much smaller portion of home sales. In January, short sales were at 17 percent of sales, down from 20.7 percent in December. Meanwhile, bank-owned sales crept up 2.5 percent to 11 percent in January.
Traditional sales continue to gain momentum in the market. In 2013, 62 percent of sales were traditional sales. Back in 2012, only 37 percent of the 44.902 sales that year were traditional.

EUGENE, Ore. – Despite a game-high 28 points from Jahii Carson, Arizona State was unable to clinch a first-round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament as it fell at Oregon, 85-78 on Tuesday night.
Jermaine Marshall scored 16 points while Jordan Bachynski and Bo Barnes added 13 points each for the Sun Devils (21-9, 10-7 Pac-12), who never led after falling into a 15-point hole to start the game. Bachynski also grabbed 11 rebounds to go along with all five of ASU's blocks.
Oregon (21-8, 9-8) placed four players in double figures led by Mike Moser, who had 22 points and 17 rebounds.
The Ducks led by eight at the half and would increase their lead to 14 after Damyean Dotson connected on one of his team-high three triples with 15:47 remaining.
Less than five minutes later the Devils fought back and got within three points after a pair of free throws by Shaquielle McKissic capped a 19-8 run, cutting ASU's deficit to 55-52 with 10:52 remaining.
However the Sun Devils could not draw any closer as the Ducks scored 16 of the game's next 23 points to extend out to a 71-59 advantage with under five minutes left.
Oregon shot 47 percent for the game while ASU made 38 percent of its shots. Carson (4-5) and Barnes (3-5) combined for seven of ASU's 12 three pointers while shooting them at a 70-percent clip.
The Sun Devils got out to a slow start as they missed their first six shots of the game. Oregon would take advantage of ASU's inability to make a field goal over the first five-plus minutes as it scored the game's first 15 points over that span.
Marshall's jumper with 14:44 left in the first half got ASU on the board. Marshall's bucket ignited a 16-2 run for the Sun Devils, who got within a single point, after Marshall's triple cut ASU's deficit to 17-16 with 8:44 remaining.
The two teams were not done exchanging scoring runs as the Ducks would come back with seven straight points over a stretch of 2:33 to take a 24-16 lead.
ASU would get no closer than five the rest of the half and ended up going into the locker room down 33-25.
The Sun Devils will get another chance to solidify a first round bye in next week's Pac-12 Tournament on Saturday when they close out the regular season at Oregon State (1:30 p.m. PT/2:30 p.m. MT). The game can be seen live on Pac-12 Networks.

Chinese Government reassessing console ban – report
China's ruling bodies are said to be reassessing the country's blanket-ban on videogame consoles, some 13 years after the ruling was first made law.
An anonymous government source is alleged to have said that the seven ministries that imposed the ban on sale and import of game consoles across China are now evaluating the legislation.
The ministry of culture source has stated, "We are reviewing the policy and have conducted some surveys and held discussions with other ministries on the possibility of opening up the game console market. However, since the ban was issued by seven ministries more than a decade ago, we will need approval from all parties to lift it."
It comes as Sony set up a base in China last year, geared towards training inductees in development practices, and as Microsoft's Kinect has made its way into several facets of life for educational and practical applications.
Commenting on the rumour via Reuters, SCE rep Yoshiko Uchiyaman simply stated, "China [is] a promising market for our business, and we are always considering and preparing business opportunities and possibilities."
We'll have more on the matter as it comes.

If so, is this a universal mechanism or is it contingent on the type of industry or region in which creative destruction takes place? This paper analyses the effect of firm entry and exit on the competitiveness of regions, measured by total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Based on a study across 40 regions in the Netherlands over the period 1988-2002, we find that firm entry is related to productivity growth in services, but not in manufacturing. The positive impact found in services does not necessarily imply that new firms are more efficient than incumbent firms; high degrees of creative destruction may also improve the efficiency of incumbent firms. We also find that the impact of firm dynamics on regional productivity in services is higher in regions exhibiting diverse but related economic activities. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2009-01-12T15:03:08.762Z 2010-12-17T11:53:55.555Z

Could the Sahara Desert Power All of Europe?
The Sahara Desert covers roughly 3.5 million square miles of land in North Africa. A handful of German private firms wants about 2,300 of those square miles for development. The goal? To kick-start a massive solar power project that they believe could one day provide all of Europe's cumulative power needs. Announced in July, Desertec EU-MENA (Europe-Middle East-North Africa) concept, which involves building concentrated solar power (CSP) plants throughout arid North Africa, continues to pop up in the news. It now has the vocal support of European leaders like British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and continues to gain exposure as Europe strives to reach its goal of 20% renewable energy by 2020. According to a study cited by Desertec, 17% of Europe's energy supply could be provided by 2020 from solar power imports alone. That, Desertec estimates, would require 2,500 square kilometers of desert and 3,500 more of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines, which translates into the 6,000 square kilometers (2,300 sq miles) mentioned earlier. And that's just a start. If all goes their way, the Saharan region (including the Middle East) could be producing 470 gigawatts of solar thermal power by 2050. For all the momentum the plan has gained, an equal amount of skepticism has arisen. Common criticism includes the very concept of importing power rather than producing it domestically, the potential threat of a corporate energy monopoly, security issues, the exploitation of unstable North African nations, feasibility and expense. The price tag is definitely staggering, coming in at roughly $500 billion, most of which will go to improving transmission infrastructure throughout North Africa and Europe. Yet the "intent" to form a consortium of funding companies announced in July should become a reality very soon. Desertec is expected to formally announce a limited liability company, the DESERTEC Industrial Initiative (DII), by October 31 as required under German law. Initial investors include big names like Siemens, Schott Solar, ABENGOA Solar and Deutsche Bank. Of course, the official formation of a company will not erase skepticism nor the logistical, political and financial issues inherent in such an ambitious project. But support is there as cash-strapped nations open up to the idea of private enterprise helping to solve their energy problems while enabling the fulfillment of renewable energy goals.

A Colorado triple homicide has led to the arrest of Jaacob Harding Van Winkle, 31, who has a criminal history as a sex offender. The man was reportedly a family friend of the three victims who were a 35-year-old mother and her two children aged nine and five, according to a Yahoo! News report on Tuesday. He was at the home when the three bodies were found on Sunday in Canon City.
Authorities went to the home after a teenage daughter in the home had been sexually assaulted and escaped to a neighbor's home for safety. There, she called the police. The charges that followed for Van Winkle were sexual assault, kidnapping, and three counts of first-degree murder. He was arrested at the home where the murders occurred without incident.
Van Winkle previously served several prison terms in Indiana on child molestation charges as well as having pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence in Colorado two years ago. He was also questioned in the death of his landlord in Whiteland, Indiana in 2011 but was never charged in that case because the autopsy results were inconclusive.
Van Winkle, according to Judge David Thorson, could get life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Van Winkle's name is spelled "Vanwinkle" in some court documents.

Off to the throne: The last words of the king of rock'n'roll, pictured in his last television performance in 1977, have been revealed.
"I'm going to the bathroom to read."
Those were the words Elvis Presley said to his fiancee, Ginger Alden, early in the morning of August 16, 1977, at his Memphis mansion, Graceland.
They were the last words he ever spoke.
Short-lived romance: Ginger Alden, who discovered Elvis' body, is releasing a memoir about their time together. Photo: Facebook
The king of rock'n'roll couldn't sleep and didn't want to disturb his beauty queen lover.
"OK, but don't fall asleep," she responded before closing her eyes again, leaving his reading light on.
Hours later, at 2pm, she woke and noticed Presley hadn't returned to bed. She knocked on the bathroom door, calling his name, and then opened it.
'Multifaceted personality': A young Elvis Presley.
"That's when I saw him there."
In her upcoming memoir, Ginger and Elvis, due out in a Berkley hardcover edition on September 2, Alden recounts the details of her short-lived romance with Presley, the Daily Mail reported.
In it, she reveals how she found the singer slumped over on the bathroom floor. When she bent down to touch him, his skin was cold.
"I slapped him a few times and it was like he breathed once when I turned his head," she said.
Alden tried opening an eye.
"It was just blood-red, but I couldn't move him.
"I didn't want to think he was dead. God wouldn't want to take him so soon."
She pressed the intercom that rang in the kitchen and called for help.
Despite rapid first aid from Presley's old army mate, Joe Esposito, the 42-year-old died from an overdose of medications.
According to a review by Kirkus, the book details the king's demise, and reflects, chronologically, on the couple's relationship and Presley's multifaceted personality.
The beauty queen caught Presley's eye at a fairground. She was 20 at the time - and as many years younger than him.
He proposed to her on January 26, 1977, in his bathroom, the very place he later died.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Paul Behnke visits the studio of painter Melissa Dunn.
In addition to posting extensive photos, Behnke writes: "Dunn's abstracted compositions have their origin in drawings and collages based on a wide range of source material. Yet once the paintings, proper, have begun, a reliable intuition comes to fore. At this point, Dunn alternates between that intuition and practiced, organized, formal decisions. The result is real painting that springs from seeds sown alongside Whitman's grass with all the intellect and romance that would imply."
Dwayne Butcher photoblogs a studio visit with painter Melissa Dunn.
Dunn says of her work: "My painting process combines both intuition and rational ordered structure. But no matter which of these modes I use to make a mark, my goal is to reflect human nature and find a universal visual story out of my own life experience. Ultimately, the greatest pleasure I derive from painting is when I relinquish my personal visual associations to the viewer. I work with the intention that someone other than myself will be inspired to discover their own emotional landscape and their own relationship to the world. The solitude of painting is rewarded with this potential connection."

In Watford, it's smart to fail the dress code
Paul Lester, a divorced music journalist navigates life
One of the few good things about getting older is that you no longer have to care about the dress code of nightclubs. This is because you don't go to nightclubs, mainly out of fear that young people will point and laugh.
It used to be a major concern. I remember once, years ago, being refused entry into a West End disco because I was wearing sneakers. So I had to schlep back to Borehamwood to change out of my white Converse All-Stars into my best Ravel slip-ons, then back to the club, a 90-minute round trip. And all so I could slouch glumly in the corner as "happy hour" began and listen to such joy-suppressing "hits" as Hi Ho Silver Lining and D.I.S.C.O.
But you do still have to go to nightclubs if you're divorced and quite like the idea of meeting another woman before you die. So I decided to go to Watford, because it's prime Jewish girl real estate and entrance to clubs there is free before 10pm (what, people start their nights out after 10pm?) Also, I used to go there when I was younger so I know where to cower when the chairs start flying.
The problem, as ever, was what to wear? I began the evening dressed in what I presumed was suitable attire given the locale and the type of people I'd be mixing with — T-shirt, tracksuit bottoms and beanie. I looked good, in a footballer-on-his-way-home-from-training kind of way, and I felt confident as I passed the groups of boisterous adolescents hanging around outside the clubs in their revealing night-wear. The girls looked pretty racy, too. (Memo to self: lock own children up when they turn 16.)
The club I chose was a retro one where they played only '80s music, which I optimistically presumed would mean lots of Human League and Frankie Goes To Hollywood, but from what I could hear blaring from inside, actually meant The Tweets and Chas & Dave.
Not that I was going to be able to check, because I got stopped at the door by a man dressed like an extra from Reservoir Dogs, wearing an earpiece to show how serious and important his job was. There's nothing more intimidating than a bouncer with a rule book. Whose dumb idea was it to wear a T-shirt, tracksuit bottoms and a beanie? Oh, mine.
I was told by the bulky brute, who was probably being tucked in by his grandmother the last time I went out in Watford, that I was improperly dressed. He explained that sportswear was a no-no because of the association with football, meaning I was more likely to get involved in a punch-up with inebriated supporters enraged by the colour of my gear. I explained that I don't start fights, I run from them, and besides, what team wears beige? But he was adamant. So I had to go home and get changed. Deja vu, I surmised, is not a thing of the past.
Half an hour, and one new outfit, later, I was back at the club. The bouncer still wouldn't let me in, though, something to do with my jumper having a hood and my boots having steel toecaps. Yes, I had to admit, I do have this terrible habit of hiding my head then anonymously booting passers-by in the shins after a few pear ciders. So I trudged home again (again), grabbed my one smart shirt, the trousers I wear to weddings and barmitzvahs, and my least threatening shoes, and returned for a third time to the club, thinking along the way that, compared to this, Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day had a diverse and varied existence.
Still, this time you couldn't fault my threads — even the bouncer looked impressed as he waved me through the door. I approached the counter ready to hand over my £15. As I offered my hand to be stamped as proof of payment, the cuff on my one smart shirt pulled back to reveal my watch. It was 10.01pm. Time for bed.

(AP) LAWRENCE, Kan. - Towson knew it had to keep Kansas from getting out into transition, and if the Tigers could make a few 3-pointers of their own, they'd have a chance to hang with the Jayhawks.
All of that went by the wayside in the first few minutes Friday night.
The second-ranked Jayhawks had three dunks by the first media timeout, and used a big early run to seize control. All Kansas had to do was coast in the second half to an 88-58 victory in its opening game of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.
"Transition defense was our big key and then obviously not turning the ball over," Towson coach Pat Skerry said. "They do such an unbelievable job pulling it off the backboard and running it right down your throat. You'd like to have about seven guys to get back defensively."
No amount of defenders would have been able to stop the Jayhawks' on this night, though. Led by Andrew Wiggins' 16 points, Kansas outscored Towson on the fast break 29-8.
Andrew White III added 13 points, Wayne Selden had 12 and Perry Ellis 10 for the Jayhawks, who head to the Bahamas to continue the tournament against Wake Forest on Thanksgiving Day.
"I think it's suffice to say they're pretty good," Skerry said. "If there's a better team in the country I'd like to find out who they are, and I certainly don't want to play them."
Jerrelle Benimon had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead Towson (3-2), which knocked off Temple earlier this season. Rafriel Guthrie scored 15 points off the bench.
The Jayhawks had struggled early in games this season, allowing at least 35 points in the first half of each of them. But they had no trouble against the Colonial Athletic Association favorite, putting together a best-of reel in the first half.
While Towson settled for a cacophony of quick 3-pointers, ill-advised shots in the paint and tightly contested jumpers, the Jayhawks turned the misses into 22 first-half fast-break points.
"The game plan was basically get in the half-court defense more and then try to push it," Benimon said. "We weren't making shots so we couldn't really keep them out of transition."
The Tigers were still within 27-14 with 7:42 left in the half, but they only managed one field goal from there as Kansas used a 22-2 finishing flurry to blow the game open. Wiggins scored nine of his 14 first-half points during the run, and was involved in both of the highlights.
The first came after a miss by the Tigers' Timajh Parker-Rivera. The ball ended up with Frank Mason, whose pretty one-bounce, cross-court pass to Wiggins resulted in an easy dunk.
The second highlight came after Mike Burwell missed and Mason again got the ball in the open court. He fed it to fellow freshman Conner Frankamp who, rather than take a mildly contested layup, added one extra pass like a seasoned veteran that Wiggins slammed with two hands.
By the time White was fouled in transition and made the second of two free throws with 1.4 seconds left on the clock, the Jayhawks had built their huge halftime advantage.
"When we're playing our game, no one can stop us," Wiggins said. "When we play in the flow of the game, no one can stop us. We have too many tools to use."
Kansas wound up shooting 69 percent from the field during the opening 20 minutes, had a 23-11 advantage on the boards and outscored the smaller Tigers 26-10 in the paint.
Towson shot 20.7 percent from the field and missed all 10 of its 3-point tries.
The Jayhawks didn't slow down much in the second half, racing up and down the court like it was a YMCA pickup game. Black had another big dunk during one stretch, Frankamp curled in a 3-pointer and Kansas coasted to its 66th consecutive non-conference win at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks won't return to the friendly confines of the Phog for close to a month. After the Bahamas, they visit Colorado and Florida along with playing New Mexico at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. They return home to play Georgetown on Dec. 21.
"I think potentially we could be one of the better teams, no question," Self said. "I think by the end if our young kids get better, we have a chance to be in the conversation."

There is no sign outside, absolutely no decor on the walls and the only signs that it's even a dining establishment are taped up print -outs on the windows. Welcome to the latest addition to the Michael Landrum beef-loving empire, Ray's to the Third Power.
If you've ever been to any of the "Ray's" restaurants, you know this is kind of their thing - minimal decor, simple menu and really amazing food at an unbelievable price.
Ray's to the Third Power does not disappoint. The menu is a nice mix of the famous steak frites combos on Ray's the Steaks' menu as well as Ray's Hell Burger, with a few new additions.
The 'Parisien' comes highly recommended, a top sirloin accompanied by a red wine herb butter as does the signature hanger steak. All steaks come with a serving of their seasoned shoestring fries, bread and a side salad.
For those who would dare not eat the steaks or burgers here, the seafood platter and fried chicken are very popular as well (not that we would know).
A new addition worth checking out are the spiked milkshakes, one of which even comes with bacon!
For more information, visit Ray's to the Third Power, 1650 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA, 22201, 703.974.7171.

As we come closer to this Easter season we sometimes can get side tracked with all of the fun activities that we like to do: egg decorating and Easter egg hunting, Easter baskets and sugar rushes, potlucks and meeting with family and friends. Sometimes it is easy to forget about what this holiday is supposed to represent when we are surrounded by commercialism and discounted merchandise. The Easter holiday is more than just a celebration one time a year where most of us attend church services but it should be a lifestyle choice. All it took was one life to change history, a life that Jesus Christ chose to sacrifice for us. Is your mind set on Christ?
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" Philippians 2:3-8
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, humbled himself in human likeness, suffered and died on a cross and was resurrected so that we may have relationship with the Heavenly Father when we acknowledge what He has done for us. Jesus is our only pathway, our only way to salvation and yet sometimes we forget to honor Him except on special holidays. Honoring Him is remembering what He has done and living a life following Him. Christ chose to humble himself so that we can identify with Him and have an example to follow. How can we have the mindset of Christ? We need to be imitators of His character.
1. A Heart of Humility
Having a heart of humility is never easy and takes time. Humility is a condition of the heart that allows God to make us aware of our own pride and short-comings. In order to become humble we need to allow our pride to be pushed out and allow selflessness to take over. Being humble requires us to not just look to ourselves but look to the interests of others. Looking to Jesus as our example, we need to place value in others, not seeing ourselves as better but seeing people as our equals. We are all children of the Father and are all valuable in His eyes.
2. Acting in love
Jesus saw the lonely, the depressed, the forgotten, and the outcasts and sought after them in love. He didn't focus or worry about His reputation but served those who needed Him. In the same way, we need to serve one another in love. This can be a difficult because let's just face it, many people can be insufferable but Jesus loved even those. He sacrificed Himself for us all, in love so that we may know what love looks like. Love requires action, the conscience choice to see others just as they are and care for them without seeking a reward but with a servant's heart.
3. Obedient in the follow-through
To be imitators of Christ, we need to have the mindset of obedience to the Father. Jesus Himself was obedient, committing Himself to the will and plan of the Father. Obedience takes commitment and the willingness to follow through even when things get difficult. He asks us to be obedient and follow Him, wherever that may lead, even if it means going against the societal culture. Trusting in Him allows us to face anything that comes our way because He has already experienced it all and is walking with us through it all.
Be an imitation of Christ. Remember who He is and what He has done and allow Him to work in and through you. He sets a very real example for us to follow after Him. To be like Christ, we need to serve in humility, love one another and be obedient to His will and He will take care of the rest and we continue to grow closer to Him.

President, Pi Sigma chapter
The Pi Sigma chapter is the first historically black Greek organization to be established on Baker University's campus. Since coming to campus on December 3, 2006, chapter members have striven to bring unity and diversity to Baker. Zeta Phi Beta's members provide examples of our dedication to our service endeavors, of our vow to scholarship and of our active practice and cultivation of sisterly love, all while exemplifying the essence of finer womanhood.
Zeta Phi Betas believe that college is a time for members to become the best young women they can be. We help young women further their college experience through our weekly homework sessions. We hold a Finer Womanhood Week during March that gives all of the young women a chance to bond with their sorority sisters outside of the college atmosphere. We attend our regional conference to allow members to network and meet other influential Zeta Phi Beta members. We organize group outings to support the other chapters in the surrounding area. We also organize fund-raisers such as "Z-Gramz" and a formal dance to help raise money for the March of Dimes, one of our many philanthropies.
Once you join the Zeta Phi Beta family, you are a Zeta for life. "There is a Zeta in a girl regardless of race, creed, or color who has high standards or principles, a good scholarly average, and an active interest in all things…" this is a quote by one of our five pearls.

I was at my local Middle River Target location in Baltimore, MD tonight picking up the new Cars DVD combo pack, and noticed that there were a couple of video games sitting in the clearance section, both for the Nintenod Wii. The first game was Excite Truck with the bundled steering wheel for about $24. The second game was Iron Man 2, which was clearanced down to a low $5! With Easter right around the corner, this would make for the perfect Easter Basket gift!
As always, these Target clearance sales are YMMV, so check your local Baltimore, MD Target store for details and availability!

The Harrington Police Department has arrested a Farmington woman, identified as Erin Renee Boone, 27, after she failed to re-register her address after moving.
Boone, who had been living in Harrington, had moved to Farmington, but had failed to register the change with the State Bureau of Identification, said police spokesman Lt. Earl Brode.
Boone was arrested at her residence in Farmington, Brode said, and charged with failure to re-register as a sex offender. She then was released on a $2,000 unsecured bond.
Boone is a Tier II, or moderate risk, sex offender, who was convicted in 2009 of fourth-degree rape where the victim was between 12 and 15 years of age.
