Bedford County's planning commission held it's last meeting of the year last week and a final recommendation on board of supervisors' proposed changes to the zoning ordinance is still pending.
After debate, the planing commission chose to recommend leaving the signage restrictions in the corridor overlay districts as they are.
"I like the standards," commented District 2 planning commission member Jeff Burdett. "You poll the public and they are going to tell you they [advertising signs] are ugly."
Burdett added that he does not buy the argument that businesses are not successful due to sign limits. He said he could compromise on signs, but does not support doing away with the restrictions entirely.
District 7 planning commission member Jerry Craig pointed to the size of individual store signs on "monument" type signs in front of shopping centers. He said a driver would have to come to a complete stop to see them. Under the overlay regulations, shopping centers get one free-standing sign.
"I want people to get noticed," said Board Chairman Steve Wilkerson.
District 4 planning commission member Frederic Fralick questioned the value of signs. He said young adults use their smart phones to find things. He opposed changing the signage restrictions.
A motion by Craig to recommend rescinding the signage restrictions failed on a 4-3 vote with Craig, District 1 planning commission member Lewis Huff, and District 5 planning commission member Tommy Scott voting in favor. Fralick, District 6 planning commission member Derrick Noell, Burdett and Wilkerson voted in oppostion.
Fralick then made a motion to recommend leaving the restrictions as they are. This passed 5-2 with Fralick, Wilkerson, Noell, Huff and Burdett voting in favor. Crag and Scott cast the opposing votes.
The planning commission also voted 5-2 to recommend leaving the short-term rental regulations in place.
"I'm for fixing it," said Burdett. "I'm not for taking it out."
Burdett said the regulation is needed to protect the interests of people who live there. He said there have been cases where there have been 10 or 12 people living in a three bedroom house. They park everywhere.
"They don't care what they do to people," he said. "They just don't care what they do to the people who live there."
"I'm perfectly prepared to leave it in," said Wilkerson. He said that short-term rentals put a resort-type usage in a residential neighborhood and, therefore, should be regulated.
Scott favored taking the short-term rental regulations out because he felt they were something with which the county should not be involved.
Wilkerson disagreed.
"I don't think we should take it out until we have something better," he said.
The motion, made by Burdett, to recommend retaining short-term rental regulations passed by a 5-2 vote with Fralick, Burdett, Noell, Wilkerson and Huff voting in favor. Craig and Scott cast the dissenting votes.
The planning commission voted 6-1 to wait until its Jan. 7 meeting to further discuss a board of supervisors initiated proposal to provide limited possibilities for a developer to extend an existing private road to serve up to 10 additional lots. Fralick, Noell, Craig, Huff, Burdett and Wilkerson voted to wait, while Scott cast the lone dissenting vote.
This meeting was Wilkerson's last planning commission meeting. He was elected to the District 3 supervisors seat in November. Fralick noted Wilkerson's 18 years service on the planning commission.
"I believe firmly that you've had the interests of the county, the total county, at heart," Fralick said. "You're going to be missed.

2000 Mercury Mountaineer 4dr SUV AWD
I just graduated high school and this is my 1st car. I got it from my grandpa who treated it very well and is in great condition.It drives well, and the V8 is very powerful indeed. Granted, it does suck down a lot of gas in the city though hwy mileage is good.Ride is pretty good, though on bumps it doesn't really take them well compared to a sedan would.Excellent build quality, and everything; engine, transmission, electronics, they're all perfectly fineI'm keeping it until it dies that's for sure
Build quality, engine
Gas mileage
Pros:*At 147K miles engine and tranny sounds, and performs like brand new.*They were not kidding about the V8 Power.* Body well built and solid. Quality steel - no rust yet.* AWD really grips the roads ( Iowa winters..no problem here)Cons:*Factory radio works but no display - common issue.* rear wiper does not work - again common issue.*Keyless entry quit working, and door locks need some TLC.* some road noise. ( can't tell yet if it is in need of a muffler or just the roar of the 5.0)* no rust yet but a little pain bubbling on the bottom inside of the rear doors. not noticable to the public
Strong motor. Power Moon roof a plus. large and comfortable interior. Plenty of room for me and my two kids in car seats.
Am predicting that i will get another 100K miles out of this car easily.
Fuel economy is very...VERY poor if you let your car idle for more then a few minutes in the city.
Also if you drive with a soft foot and keep the RPM's between 1500 and under 2000 you can really improve the MPGs.
I've had my SUV for over 5 years now and it's the best thing I've ever owned. Never once left me stranded & only had to fix normal things like tires, battery, brakes, & spark plugs. Would love to keep it but the family is too big and we need a 3rd row now. If I could buy new I would just order one that way. I think I will cry when I trade in this week. Currently at 92,000 miles and still going strong. Back wiper never quite worked right & light bulb issue on the dash but the stuff that really mattered and would cost a lot to fix stayed strong. Hope to own another one some day.
Lots of room, never left me stranded. V8 and feels like it's built tough
Less plastic inside better gas mileage. It was bad on gas even for an SUV
Purchased used 8 years ago w/49,000 miles on it. Now have 118,000 miles and only significant problems have been the transmission (torque converter) rebuild at 87,000, and as with many others, radio display went out - had repaired and then all button functions stopped working (original radio a real piece of junk!). Replaced radio with newer OEM Ford radio w/6 cd changer from OEM Car Audio (on Ebay). Other than new tires , battery, brakes, shocks,serpentine belt, plugs and 13.7 avg mpg (mostly city), a pleasure to own and drive. Also a couple of minor factory recalls, big deal. At 118K miles, I've got a lot more to go! Body in excellent shape even after subjected to Minnesota winters & salt.
Love that 5L V8 sound and acceleration when needed. Control buttons on the steering wheel a plus. Parts are cheap as many Mountaineers, Explorers and Rangers produced.
This is a 10 year old vehicle!
I learned from the dealer the 1999 to 2001 were the best built in this series and they have a strong following. I have found that out by talking to other owners. The Mountaineer is the top of the line. The V-8 engine is strong, transmission strong, solid body, has a truck feel (it is a Ranger w/ SUV body). With Zaino polish the paint shines great and people are amaised it is 10 years old. This car is a solid performer, a great winter car. If I keep the rpm's under 2,000 on the interstate, I'll get 20.5 to 21.5 mpg. For good gas mileage drive with a soft foot on the accelerator. Fine a good one and keep it.
interior space solid car attractive exterior
at 10 years of age, getting improvements is unlikely.

Publisher's Description
Much has changed since the first edition of Lovett Weemss seminal work Church Leadership appeared in 1993. In that time a substantial literature about leading the congregation has appeared, written from a broad variety of perspectives. But in some ways, little has changed in that time. The need for leadership in the churchdefined as discovering the faithful future into which God is calling the congregation, and walking with the congregation into that futureis just as pressing as it ever was. And for that reason, the need for clear, insightful thinking about leadership is just as great as it ever was.In this revised edition, Weems draws on the best new ideas and research in organizational leadership, yet always with his trademark theological grounding foremost in mind. Anyone who guides the life of a congregation, be they clergy or laity, will find Church Leadership the indispensable tool with which to follow their calling to be a church leader.

A problem for web-building spiders is how to stop their prey from escaping once it has blundered into the web. Some spiders spin threads that are sticky and so hold it fast. Others spin a tangled mass of finer threads, which has voids in it just the right size to trap insects' legs (it looks much like the other sort to the naked eye, though rather woolly).
The individual strands are made in the cribellum, an oval plate of chitin with many tiny tubes in it that lies in front of the spinnerets that generate the silk. Spiders of this type are said to be cribellate and the presence of a cribellum is a useful way to group species (those without one are said to be ecribellate).
The origin is the Latin cribrum, "sieve", which is also the source of cribriform, another adjective used in anatomy and botany, "having numerous small holes; sievelike", and the obsolete verb percribrate, "to sift; pass through a sieve". (It's also thought to be the origin of garble.)

Anxiety and depression co-occur, both at the disorder and symptom levels, and within anxiety disorders, fluctuations in daily anxious mood correspond temporally to fluctuations in depressed mood. However, little is known about the factors or conditions under which anxiety and depressive symptoms are most likely to co-occur. The current study investigated the role of cognitive factors (daily rumination and cognitive attributions about anxiety symptoms) and interpersonal functioning (daily perceived rejection, support, criticism, and interpersonal problems) as moderators of the daily association between anxious and depressed moods. Fifty-five individuals with generalized anxiety disorder completed a 21-day diary assessing daily mood and cognitive and interpersonal functioning. Ratings of anxious and depressed mood were more closely associated on days when participants ruminated about their anxiety or viewed anxiety symptoms more negatively. Furthermore, anxious mood predicted later depressed mood on days when participants reported greater interpersonal problems and more perceived rejection. Results suggest that cognitive and interpersonal factors may elevate the likelihood of anxiety-depression co-occurrence.

"All I would ask is just stay in roll, and don't give them any hints to what your injuries might be, because they should be able to pick all of this stuff out on their own," said instructor Matt May
It looked like a real emergency situation, four people injured and trapped in the wilderness. It was up to the students of the wilderness first responders training class to find them.
"They'll probably send out a hasty search team, which will go ahead of the main group. They'll run down the main trails, just searching areas somebody will likely be found. They'll run ahead, they'll probably find you guys first, they'll report back to the main team so they will know where to go," May said.
It was up to the team to diagnose, treat and transport all the patients without injuring them anymore.
In the end this may have just been a training tool, but it could have easily been the real thing, and now these students are better prepared.
Class participants learned how to work through an emergency situation when they're miles away from help. Wilderness medicine is different from traditional first aid. That's due to the limited equipment in the wilderness, as well as severe environments that increase the risks to patients and to the rescuers.

from Adventure Time, I didn't like the whole transformer look for her (and those feet).
She's so cute! Great work!
Nice work! The lines are so neat and clean and the shading is perfect!
I haven't seen this episode......but people keep telling me that Finn got raped by LSP in it.
interesting ...

Released: Jan 01st, 1991

Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Ladies, did you know that the easiest way to achieve an immense orgasm during sex is to shake your large tits? That is the initial idea of what begins as a promising big boob adult video, but it gets lost early on. Acting and dialog is minimal, and the scenes are not really associated with one another.
Nina Hartley, who is supposed to star, appears only once, though it is the best sex scene. She does her very own special version of the couch dance for Sean Michaels, who initially tries to act nonchalant. He soon discovers that it is impossible to ignore Nina's luscious butt and her determined grinding away at his crotch, so Nina gets her way (as usual) and has Sean up and running.With many shortcomings, Shake Well Before Using will probably only appeal to a small sector of your renters.

Friday, 15 February 2008
It was heartening to learn, especially on Valentine's Day, that there are folks out there who are showing fishermen a little love.
Massachusetts legislators are introducing a bill in Congress that would establish a national health care plan for fishermen. The program uses the Massachusetts Fishing Partnership Health Plan as a model for a national program.
The Massachusetts plan, adopted in the 1990s, gives low-cost health insurance to some 2,000 fishermen and family members who previously were without health care coverage or were underinsured.
The bill would authorize $50 million over five years for program planning, implementation and continuation grants in states with commercial fishing industries.
Even better, there's bi-partisan support for such a program. To wit: Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), and John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), John Tierney (D-Mass.), and William Delahunt (D-Mass.) are the bill's sponsors, and co-sponsors are Sens. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Reps. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), Don Young (R-Alaska.), Tom Allen (D-Maine), and Wayne Gilchrest (R-Md.).
Wow. Democrats and Republicans find a worthy cause that they can all get behind. Fishermen will take all the love they can get.
The Northeast Trawl Advisory Panel working group is scheduled to meet Aug. 2 in Boston to discuss using commercial fishing vessels to supplement current stock assessment surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center.Read more...

Oval seat no surety for Crows members
- From: Sunday Mail (SA)
- March 03, 2012
THE Crows have warned as many as 35,000 members could miss out on an allocated weekly seat at Adelaide Oval.
Independent research commissioned by the Stadium Management Authority - a joint venture between football and cricket - suggests as many as 60,000 Crows fans will seek a season ticket ahead of football's move to the city.
There are now about 25,000 season ticket seats at West Lakes and it is not anticipated that number will change significantly at Adelaide Oval, where the capacity will be about 50,000 spectators.
Crows chief executive Steven Trigg said priority would be given to those who signed up for AAMI Stadium membership before the move to Adelaide Oval.
"The key thing about Adelaide Oval is that we have research out of the exercise that indicates a threefold demand for season tickets," Trigg said.
"Today we can guarantee a seat for members and we've been working through that with members, even two years out.
"They can see Adelaide Oval on the horizon.
"It puts our current season ticket holders in a great position."
The Crows have started offering short-term memberships - such as three-game subscriptions - a trend that is inflating the base support at many AFL clubs.
Collingwood and Hawthorn have reached unprecedented levels of memberships of 50,000 each - but it is unclear how many of these are "regulation" 11-game members.
Adelaide has traditionally been in the top quarter of clubs with 11-game members.

Man jailed for assaultJuly 17,2013Man jailed
for assault
A Brandon man pleaded innocent to charges of second degree aggravated domestic assault and possession of heroin.
Keith Decker, 42, was in Rutlands criminal court Tuesday to answer to the felony and misdemeanor charges that carry a combined sentence up to six years in prison. He was held at the Rutland jail for lack of $20,000 bail.
According to court documents, police responded to a home near Kendall Avenue in Rutland Monday night, where Jennifer Brewster said Decker, her boyfriend, has been physically abusing her for a long time and that she feared for her life.
Brewster said she and Decker were having an argument regarding his vehicle and when she turned to leave, he told her that he was going to kill her before she returned to her mother.
Decker was arrested later that evening. While he was searched at the Rutland jail, a wax paper bag containing heroin was found in his front shorts pockets.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Residents to voice opinions on fate
Published: Monday, April 5, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 4, 2004 at 9:48 p.m.
FLETCHER -- The Town Council wants to hear from residents tonighton the fate of one of its members who was charged last month with misdemeanor marijuana possession.
The Council's regular monthly agenda meeting will start at 7 p.m. at town hall. The public is invited to attend and to speak, council members say.
Councilman Milton Byrd, 52, was charged March 19 after Fletcher Police officers found 10 marijuana seeds in his house. Byrd also faces a charge of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after a small electrical clip was found in the same closet as the seeds, he said.
Byrd did not deny the seeds belonged to him, but said they were leftover from about two years ago when he began a stretch of hard luck that included bankruptcy, divorce and period of unemployment. Byrd, who has served nine years on the Town Council, apologized to residents and said he will do whatever the community wants him to. He is set to appear in Henderson County District Court on April 19.
Police searched Byrd's house after finding more than three ounces of marijuana in a truck that was parked in his driveway and arresting two Etowah teen-agers.
Police charged Tarance Christopher Henderson, 18, of Laurel Woods Drive with felony intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana and felony marijuana possession; and charged Nathaniel Xavier Smith, 17, of McKinney Road with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and felony marijuana possession. Byrd said he knew the teen-agers from the past but had not seen them in a long while and did not know they had marijuana in their truck.
Mayor Bill Moore and the three other members of the Town Council say they all think Byrd should resign from the Town Council. But Moore and other members said they want to hear from Byrd and the public before taking any action.
"We are going to give Mr. Byrd an opportunity to give Council and update on the situation and do the right thing," the mayor said.
Asked whether that meant resign, Moore responded: "I'm not going to say that. We're encouraging the public to come out and speak what is on their mind on it."
Councilman Jim Clayton said Byrd has spoken individually with board members but has not had a chance to address them as a council. He said Council will listen to Byrd and the public's comments.
"Our Council has always been aggressive in seeking public input on all issues and this is no different," he said.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Peter North has the tool in this blowjob-only tape. The series continues.
Each scene runs about five minutes beginning with Cynara Fox (who missed being credited by that name on the box). The video depicts the record time coaxing of cum via lots of quick b.j.s.
Each girl has their own particular preference and mode of swallowing cock. Some are sloppy, some dainty, some take it deep as the title suggests, and others just do whatever it takes to get the job done in this all blowjob product. To their credit, most do it as deeply as possible. North sneaks in a little 69 during one scene for added inspiration with busty Lana Coxx with the result being a very, very messy and drippy facial.

Vanessa Pugh, mother of Terrance James Womack, poses for a photo in front of her home in Evanston, Thursday, June 19, 2014.
CINCINNATI – Outside the Evanston Recreation Center on a recent weeknight, as seemingly happy teens cracked jokes and hung out, one brandished a handgun he could barely hold. He wouldn't give his name or age, but he couldn't have been more than 16.
His friends didn't appear shocked he was strapped, even outside a city-owned youth center meant to keep kids out of trouble.
Self-preservation is fueling teens to arm themselves in some of the poorest parts of the city, experts say. And when a 14-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the March killing of a 14-year-old girl in Avondale, much of the attention focused on how the shooting was a mistake. But authorities say that what was no accident, it was the environment that led up to the death.
Tyann Adkins' death shone a spotlight on a troubling trend: Teens are becoming more involved in violence and increasingly are using guns to solve seemingly mild conflicts. Guns are so easy to find and so accepted, police say, that teens are also arming themselves out of fear of violence.
That's not news to two mothers of Evanston teens fatally shot last year.
The moms said easy access to guns combined with the desire for respect and admiration created a lethal environment for their sons. Add to that a street culture where talking to police officers about virtually anything is deemed "snitching," and many of the killings go unsolved – even when family and neighbors know who the killers are.
WCPO Insiders can read more on the underlying causes of teen violence, what police and court authorities find to be common trends and just how difficult it is to curb teen violence.

A Closer Look At Two Killings
Jordon Dawson and Terrence James Womack were leading double lives – secret lives, their mothers said.
"Before T.J. was killed, I heard that he was selling drugs," said Vanessa Pugh, TJ's mother. "I don't know why."I heard he was in a gang, but I don't know why. He didn't have to do any of that."
"Before T.J. was killed, I heard that he was selling drugs," said Vanessa Pugh, TJ's mother. "I don't know why.
"I heard he was in a gang, but I don't know why. He didn't have to do any of that."
Womack was shot multiple times around 7 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2013, near the intersection of Woodburn and Gilbert avenues in Evanston – just steps from his front door, according to police officials. He was found with drugs in his pocket and $25, Pugh said.
"He wasn't very good at it (dealing drugs)," Pugh said. Investigators believe Womack was not meant to die that night, but think the shooter was targeting another teen.
His mother searched his bedroom on occasion, and questioned Womack when came home about his whereabouts and who he was hanging out with. Womack attended Dohn Community High School, played on the basketball team and regularly attended class, even when he ran away from home, Pugh said.
"T.J. had a secret life that I knew nothing about," she said. "And then you wonder how a 16-year-old manages that. He didn't fit into that lifestyle … I just don't know."
When asked what can parents do to protect their children, Pugh, who works as a janitor, seemed baffled.
"If I knew the answer to that, my son would be in his room right now playing a video game," she said.
In the last five years, 36 juveniles have been victims of homicide in Cincinnati, according to WCPO analysis.
Since 2009, 1 in every 8 homicide cases that resulted in an arrest involved at least one juvenile suspect. All but one of those cases involved handguns.
"This is more of a sociological phenomenon than anything else," said Maki Haberfeld, professor and chair of the Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration Department at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. "Gangs have a history of being very successful in recruiting juveniles, because all it takes is for one juvenile to have a friend that belongs to a gang and this translates into a desire to be like the friend."
Haberfeld said that society tends to "overlabel" teenage behavior.
"By default, teenagers will act out," said Haberfeld, who served in the Israeli police's juvenile unit for three years. "That's the time in life when you don't think much about anything, you don't even really understand the consequences that you are subjecting yourself to."
T.J, though, did have brushes with the law. He stole a car when he was 14, only to be grounded by a flat tire a couple blocks away from where he stole it, she said. He was involved in a couple schoolyard fights during his middle school and early high school years, and served time in juvenile detention. But Pugh never thought he would be involved in drug-dealing or violence.
The night T.J. was killed, his mother told him only to go to the Evanston Recreation Center right across the street, and only for an hour.
"He said, 'OK, mama," she recalled. "That was the last thing I ever told him."
"He said, 'OK, mama," she recalled. "That was the last thing I ever told him."
About four months after Womack was killed, police found 17-year-old Jordon Dawson in the 1600 block of Hewitt Avenue in Evanston. The teen had been shot and eventually died from his injuries.
Police have not made arrests in either homicide, yet they believe the killings of both Evanston boys are connected. Investigators did not elaborate on the connection, saying both investigations remain open.
Dawson's family said an acquaintance of Jordon's was paid to shoot or spook another person in the neighborhood. When his acquaintance went to collect the money for the job, he was never paid, and returned to his group of friends embarrassed, family members said. Jordon and his friends poked fun at him for being a pushover, but when word spread that Jordon's acquaintance was never paid, the person who issued the contract sought to kill the friend, but instead killed Jordon, according to family members.
John Jay's Haberfeld said peer influence is much more powerful on a teen mind than the influence from parents at home, or from teachers and others at school.
"These people don't care, they want unconditional respect," said Nyresha Dawson, Jordon's older sister. "And they don't care if they have to kill somebody for their respect.
"We know who killed Jordon, but no one in the neighborhood is willing to step forward," Nyresha said.

Jordon's mother, LaShawn Dawson, has moved out of Evanston to North College Hill, where she is staying with relatives. She said Jordon's case is not unusual.
"This city is this big," LaShawn said, gesturing to her fingertip. "The stories I hear sound all too familiar."
"This city is this big," LaShawn said, gesturing to her fingertip. "The stories I hear sound all too familiar."
Cincinnati homicide Sgt. Mike Miller said kilings of teens are rarely premeditated. Often, teen shooters are in situations that are high-stress and the shooting is inadvertent.
"Most, if not all, of teen homicides are failed felonious assaults," Miller said. "Basically, I can't sit here and say people are intentionally killed."
Juvenile Violence Tough to Curb
Even as overall crime is on the decline here, violent crime involving juveniles remains stubbornly flat.
There have been at least five juvenile deaths every year since 2009 in Cincinnati.
- 2009: 7- 2010: 5- 2011: 5- 2012: 5- 2013: 10- 2014: 4
- 2009: 7
- 2010: 5
- 2011: 5
- 2012: 5
- 2013: 10
- 2014: 4
But about halfway through the year, the number of homicides with juvenile suspects, five, is at a three-year high.
Most of those cases over the period are considered by police to be "aggravated murder" or "murder" — meaning they occurred during a crime, and were not just "accidental" shootings.
Most of the victims were under 25 — even though most were older than the juvenile assailant.
In response, the city has launched an aggressive effort to target those they believe to be responsible for most juvenile violence: hard-core members of gangs. Police from a special anti-gang unit are assigned to monitor individual gangs. "Streetworkers" hired by city agencies talk with gang members and try to steer them toward education and job training. Probation officers, teamed with police, visit the homes of youths convicted of crimes.
But the problem has deep roots in American culture and society, Haberfeld says. "In the case of American kids, the excess of goods that they have and want is a problem," Haberfeld said. "In other countries, they worry about putting food on the table, and here the food is on the table more or less.
"It's more about other things that they want and a sense of belonging into a social network – which is far more important in America these days than the family."
Both Pugh and LaShawn said older men in Evanston who drive nice cars, buy expensive jewelry and that show off money influenced their boys.
"Jordon was just like any other teenager that wanted things," LaShawn said. "He saw the other guys in the neighborhood and asked himself, 'Why not me? Why can't I have those things?'"
What their boys also saw, they said, was even more detrimental.
"Sure, they saw them with all those nice things, but they didn't see them have to work for it," LaShawn said.
Fear of violence and the 'no-snitch culture'
The fear of violence is no longer limited to drug dealers; youths not involved in selling drugs are arming themselves and joining gangs for protection, authorities said. Most shootings, authorities have learned, were the result of disputes over drugs or money.
Echoing what Jordon's family said, Miller said the level of cooperation is "unacceptable."
"We'd be able to prosecute, and maybe get even more convictions, if we had more cooperation from the public," Miller said.
The pervasive culture of silence stalls more than criminal investigations and prosecutions, but also hinders the gathering of intelligence on teen and juvenile social trends. The culture affects how probation and juvenile court officials conduct interviews and enforce sanctions, said Ed Ryan, chief probation officer at the Hamilton County Juvenile Court.
"They almost never tell us where they get the guns from," said Ryan, a 28-year court services veteran. "Historically, we had very few cases involving guns when I first started.
"Over the last five years, any case that is gun-related goes directly to the judge. In the past, those cases normally involved drugs, but now those are the minority – its almost entirely gun-related stuff."

Kim: Microsoft is not leaving the gaming space
With Xbox 360 becoming a home entertainment system that offers not only games, but Netflix and soon Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm, Shane Kim wants to assure gamers that the console is still all about games.
"It happens to be a great video game console," Kim told Kotaku. "That's not going away. We want to make people understand that we're not leaving the gaming space.
"I definitely think that we can expand off that base, and that gaming is still going to be an important part of entertainment."
Bill Gates previously stated that the creation of Xbox was so the company could strategically "get into the living room."

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Comic strip fans, rejoice! Universal Uclick's GoComics has debuted a free app that enables you to read comics on your mobile phone or tablet. While Doonesbury, Peanuts, Pearls Before Swine and The Boondocks are among the offerings, it's Calvin and Hobbes that undoubtedly will generate the most excitement.
Slate.com's Will Oremus notes that it appears to be the first time Bill Watterson's beloved strip has appeared (legally) on mobile devices; presumably it's with the cartoonist's blessing. However, while Gary Larson's Far Side would seem perfect for phones, he's yet to make the leap to digital.
I'm not going to mince words, the comedy that fuels Cyanide & Happiness is not for everyone. The webcomic which launched in 2004, is effectively characterized in the opening paragraph of Brigid Alverson's recent Unbound review: "The Cyanide & Happiness formula is pretty simple: Stick men (and women) do shocking things to one another. There are four different artists, but the style and humor are fairly uniform; a situation is set up in the first panel and resolved, by stabbing, boob-grabbing, or shouting 'You have cancer! LOL!' in the last. My kids love this comic, because it's what teenagers are all about: Working your way through every possible taboo, in public. So in C&H we have Seizure-Man falling down and frothing at the mouth, bungee-jumping childbirth, and lots and lots of stabbing."
If that description gives you pause, I would advise you skip this interview. But if it doesn't give you pause, jump on ahead. Last month, It Books released a collection that "highlights 150 of the best comics, including 30 brand-new strips, each packed with inappropriate jokes, irreverent characters, and deviant behavior, guaranteed to leave you laughing despite the gnawing guilt." The strips are created by four different writers/illustrators who "live all over the world — Kris Wilson in Fort Bridger, Wyoming; Matt Melvin in San Diego, California; Rob DenBleyker in Dallas, Texas; and Dave McElfatrick in Belfast, Northern Ireland". I was able to interview Dave, Kris and Matt via email. Before jumping in, though, I have to apologize to our female readership and the creators for my ignorant assumption (in one question) that the audience for this work was predominantly male.
Tim O'Shea: How do you develop a sense for when the shock value of the joke outweighs or obscures the comedy of the strip?
Dave: You don't, really. You just kinda go with what you think is funny, and if that involves either something shocking or something incredibly tame, you go for it. We don't focus on shock value, we just go with what makes us laugh.
Kris: The humor has to come first. It's not as if we're trying to offend people. More often than not, people just get offended at what's funny.
Over the past few months, I've been introducing my son to the wonder of Calvin and Hobbes, the nationally syndicated comic strip that ran from 1985 to 1995. So creator Bill Watterson was already on my mind, when I gained access to a preview of Nevin Martell's Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip. The book aims to trace "the life and career of the extraordinary, influential, and intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes". In this new email interview, Martell and I get a chance to discuss the ground he covers in the book and the folks he got to interview in his pursuit.
Tim O'Shea: You did some advanced marketing of the book a few months back by releasing the first chapter of the book for free upon request. Did you find that helped generate buzz for the project?
Nevin Martell: The free chapter giveaway turned into an insane bonanza of buzz, which, frankly, I was totally unprepared for. My publishers told me that super successful versions of this kind of promotion in the past had garnered a couple of hundred requests. But then the offer got written up by BoingBoing and NPR, not to mention a slew of comic-related blogs and the Twittersphere, so suddenly I had hundreds of requests pouring in. Since I was initially answering all these requests individually, it turned into three days of hitting reply, attaching a file, writing a quick note, and then repeating. Ultimately over 4,000 people requested the chapter, which just blew my mind. Actually, my mind is still blown.

There is a beautiful view from the dining room that over looks the lake or you can relax in the warm inviting living room right behind you. There is one large bedroom and a full bath on second level while everything else is on the main level. You can relax in the hammock near the lake while the rest of the family is fishing or boating just feet away from you. Wikler-barre is only 30 minutes away, Bushkill Falls, Split Rock and Boulder Field are all with in reach for a days activity.
Our family had a wonderful time at Donna and Bob's rental home. The house was nicely appointed, clean, and very very comfortable. The kitchen and dining areas served us well. The beds were also quite comfortable. Beyond this, the lake and beach were truly amazing - well suited for family swimming as well as open water triathalon training. We also had several kayaks/paddleboats at our disposal. Quiet, friendly area. Town/supermarket/restaurant about 10 min. away. Hickory State park/Boulder field 15 min. from the home. Would certainly do again in the future.
This was our 2nd year staying over Labor Day Weekend. We love it! The house is perfect for all of us. Adults, Teenagers and Babies! The owners are great and very accomodating. My nephew was visiting for the day and fishing off the dock and fell in and got his clothes soaked. The only clothes he had and Donna graciously offered to throw them in her dryer for him! Its nice having them for neighbors. And having them next door is a plus not a minus...like some landlords, they do not bother you or intrude. We look forward to seeing them again next year. The house is very clean and spacious. The kitchen is big enough for everyone to get in there and help with cooking and clean up. I would recommend this house to anyone!!
We stayed here in early June, there were six of us total, and we had an amazing time. Bob and Donna keep the property well maintained and live right next door if you need any help. They are extremely nice. The house sits right on the lake and there are plenty of kayaks and boats available. You can boat across the lake to a small beach with a floating dock. The house has plenty of beds, a grill and fire pit, and a good size kitchen with plenty of counter space. The neighborhood is quiet with a few houses on either side of the property. During the day we were on the lake and grilled in the backyard and at night we had a fire but kept the noise down and didn't have any complaints from neighbors. Bob and Donna are laid back, helpful and left us to ourselves while at the house. This place would be a great place for families or in our case a few guys looking to get out of the city for the weekend.
My family and I stayed here over Labor Day Weekend last summer, and we loved it!! A beautiful place right on the lake with kayaks and boats. The house had everything we needed! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be staying again.

BP Works to Stop Gulf Spill Bigger Than Exxon Valdez
BP Plc resumed pumping thousands of barrels of mud into a damaged oil well to halt a Gulf of Mexico oil spill that is bigger than the Exxon Valdez disaster and may be the largest in U.S. history.
The "top kill" attempt restarted at 7 p.m. New York time yesterday, said U.S. Coast Guard Chief Bob Laura. The effort began May 26 and was suspended the same day at 11 p.m. for checks and for changes to the procedure. The effort may last for the next 24 hours to 48 hours, BP said today in a statement, adding that "response" costs so far amount to $930 million.
"What we do believe we've done is successfully pump some drilling mud into the well bore," Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer for exploration and production, said yesterday at a press conference in Robert, Louisiana. "We will continue the efforts as long as there's a possibility of success."
A successful top-kill would bring a temporary end to a leak that has poured an estimated 23 million gallons of oil into ocean and soiled 100 miles (161 kilometers) of coast. The slick, stemming from the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 people, threatens the Gulf fishing and tourism industries.
Exxon Valdez
The well has been leaking oil at an estimated rate of 12,000 to 19,000 barrels a day, Marcia McNutt, head of a U.S. government panel studying the flow, said yesterday.
Based on the midpoint of the best estimates released by the Flow Rate Technical Group, the well may have leaked about 527,000 barrels as of May 26 since the rig sank, April 22. That has exceeded the 262,000 barrels spilled by the Exxon Valdez in 1989 and the U.S. record 300,000-barrel spill by a tanker off the Oregon coast in 1968, according to statistics from the American Petroleum Institute.
The amount of oil being spilled will help determine BP's liability for the leak. BP leased the rig from Geneva-based Transocean Ltd., the largest deep-water driller.
The company will inject material originally intended for another well-blocking solution known as a "junk shot." Adding the items to the mud may help BP to seal leaks so that enough pressure can be exerted on the column of oil to block the flow. Some of items are fibrous and small, and others are larger rubber balls, Suttles said.
'Arm Wrestle'
The first phase of the top kill effort used less than 15,000 barrels of drilling mud to try to fill the well, Suttles said. BP had 50,000 barrels available and has made sure there are additional supplies on hand for when pumping resumes, he said.
The top kill process uses drilling fluid to "arm wrestle" the gusher of oil and natural gas back into the well, said Robert Dudley, managing director for the London-based company.
The procedure will serve as a temporary block on the damaged well until another well can be drilled and used to permanently plug it with cement.
A live video feed provided by BP showed brown fluid flowing from the site. The feed alone can't indicate the success of the effort to block the well, Suttles said. Ultimately, the effort will be considered successful when mud has fully blocked oil from leaking and the well has been capped with concrete.
Shares Drop
BP fell 1.7 percent to 512 pence in London as of 8:17 a.m. It rose 5.9 percent yesterday after reports on some advance in the operation. Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which owns a 25 percent stake in the well, rose $2.23, or 4.2 percent, to $55.57.
Transocean rose as much as 9.1 percent yesterday in New York trading and closed up 1.9 percent at $59.71. Halliburton Co., which provided services on the rig, rose $1.11, or 4.3 percent, to $26.99. Cameron International Corp., which provided equipment for the rig, rose $2, or 5.5 percent, to $38.08.
An underwater oil plume from the spill may have spread 22 miles northeast toward Mobile, Alabama, researchers from the University of South Florida said in a preliminary report. Tests conducted by the school's Weatherbird II vessel showed the highest concentrations of "dissolved hydrocarbons" were 400 meters underwater.
Congress has scheduled at least 20 hearings on the Deepwater Horizon and offshore drilling since the rig exploded, and the Minerals Management Service and Coast Guard held another day of hearings in Louisiana on the reasons for the accident yesterday.
Drilling Moratorium
President Barack Obama yesterday extended by six months a moratorium on new deep-water drilling permits that began after oil started to spill from BP's well. The president also canceled a proposal to drill for oil off the coast of Virginia and suspended planned drilling by Royal Dutch Shell Plc of exploratory wells in the Arctic off Alaska.
Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of the Minerals Management Service, the federal agency that oversees offshore drilling, resigned yesterday, according to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
The spill has cost BP a total of about $24 million a day. Average daily profit last year was $45 million a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The accident "threatens to be the worst oil spill disaster in history," BP investor Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority claimed in a Delaware Chancery Court lawsuit filed against BP directors on May 21 in Wilmington.
Economic Harm
Directors violated their duties to the company, causing "enormous economic harm for failure to act in the interests of BP and its shareholders" and exposing the company to liabilities in the billions of dollars, Septa lawyers said.
The lawsuit lists potential damage claims of about $2.5 billion to the Gulf fishing industry; $3 billion to tourism; $700 million in remediation efforts so far; $6 million a day in continuing costs and "incalculable damages to BP's reputation."
The cleanup has involved more than 1,300 tugs, barges and other vessels and the use of more than 3.15 million feet of containment boom is in place to protect the shoreline and fish nurseries. About 274,000 barrels (11.5 million gallons) of oily liquids have been skimmed from the water surface.
So far 26,000 claims have been filed and 11,650 have already been paid, BP said today.

Going into the 2012 season, those who follow the Trojans knew that the 2013 recruiting class would have to include a couple of stud running backs.
Mission accomplished.
On the heels of receiving a verbal commitment from Scout.com #1 running back Ty Isaac, the Trojans struck again this evening when Stockton, Calif running back Justin Davis joined his new friend Isaac with a verbal to the cardinal and gold.
Davis, also a 5-star prospect according to Scout.com, found the Trojans too appealing to turn down according to Scout.com, saying, "The synergy of the academics and athletics is like no other."
In Davis the Trojans get a big (6'1") and powerful (197 lbs) speedster who ran for 2613 yards and 39 touchdowns last year as a junior.
Davis turned down offers from a variety of powerhouse programs including Florida State, Oklahoma and Oregon among the over 20 he has received.
The combination of Isaac and Davis gives the Trojans a powerful 1-2 punch for the foreseeable future and, at the same time, allows the recruiting brain trust to focus on other needs.
With the Davis verbal, USC now has seven pledges for the 2013 recruiting season including four 5-star and three 4-star prospects.
To say that this class is shaping up as one for the ages would be an understatement as the Trojans continue to confound those who left them for dead after the NCAA hit USC with some of the most severe sanctions in recent times.
