'The Legend of Korra' Recap: The Sting
The Southern Water Tribe cultural center was hit by a terror attack and on this latest episode of "The Legend of Korra" titled "The Sting," Mako is seeking to find out who was behind it. Meanwhile, Asami is in business with Varrick, shipping mecha tanks from Future Industries to the south, and Bolin has been cast as the lead in one of Varrick's "movers" propaganda films.
As the show begins, one of Varrick's ships comes under attack and the crew is forced into a lifeboat.
Next we see Eska and Desna meeting with their father Unalaq. It appears as if he had been visiting the spirit world, and his children seem surprised by that. Eska and Desna tell him that Korra was attacked by a dark spirit. Desna says the spirits are "out of control." Eska adds that 'The Avatar is dead."
We see an image from Bolin's mover, which portrays him as a "hero of the south" and Unalaq as a warmonger. There's also a catchy jingle. From a balcony, Varrick tells Bolin "You're a star! People love stars. Stars tell them what to think and how to act!"
Varrick says the movers will help shape public opinion–and persuade the president of the United Republic to lend troops to the war effort.
The movie within a TV show ends with a cliffhanger.
Varrick learns that one of his ship was raided. Asami finds out as well; Mako promises to get to the bottom of the attacks. With another loss of another shipment, her company is going under.
Lin Beifong is investigating the raid and it comes out the attacks used bombs that were detonated remotely, like the bombs at the cultural center incident. That's all Mako needs to hear–he goes off in search of evidence, but Beifong rebuffs his efforts. "You're a beat cop not a detective," she says. Alas, Beifong is proving to be like every obstructionist police captain in every police buddy movie ever made.
Mako has a plan. He wants to conduct a sting–launch a "bait ship" to draw a raid. Asami and Varrick agree to help. "Let's get these guys," Mako declares.
Bolin has gone Hollywood, even though there's no Hollywood or Bollywood (yet) in Avatar world. He's in a hot tub in a room with a marble bust of his own image. When his brother asks him for help, he rejects him. Very un-Bolin-like. But very Tinseltown.
Mako goes to the Triads for help, and stops in to see the Triple Threats.
Mako and company launch the bait ship and head into the region where the attacks occurred. During the trip, Mako reveals to the others and Asami that he broke up with the Avatar. Nobody quite believes him. Who breaks up with the Avatar?
Bolin is falling for his co-star Ginger. But she says she actually is only in love with his character. Bolin's Hollywoodization continues.
Mako overhears some of the Triad members talking–they've been doublecrossed by the Triple Threats. Asami and Mako head off in a speed boat, pursued by Triad members, whom they eventually elude.
"Someone paid the Triple Threats to keep us distracted," Mako says.
The question is from what. Asami's eyes open wide as she realizes what is going on.
Someone has stolen everything from the Future Industries warehouse. She's ruined.
"It's over, I give up," Asami says.
"Well, I'm not giving up on you," Mako replies.
That's all she needs to hear. She kisses him. We now have a fully-operational Avatar love triangle going.
"I gotta run," Mako says. He heads out to find out who was behind the Triple Threat doublecross.
All he can find out is that whoever hired them was anonymous. He next goes to see Bolin, whose head is getting even bigger. Bolin is shooting a scene in which explosives are set off remotely. Mako goes to see the man behind the blasts–and he tells him the special effects are a Varrick Industries exclusive. Mako sees that the pyrotechnics use a remote control device identical to the one found at the site of the Southern Water Tribe cultural center attack.
Varrick may have been in on the doublecross.
Mako goes to see Asami–but he's too late. Varrick is meeting with her. He's bought a controlling interest in Future Industries. Buy low, sell high, and Varrick may be about as low as they come.
Mako tells Asami that he's very close to figuring out who hired the Triple Threats. It's a veiled warning to Varrick.
So what's up with the Avatar? It takes the whole episode until we find out. Korra has washed up on an island. She is surrounded by men in pointy hats.
She can't remember her name or who she is or how she ended up on the island.
"I don't know," she says. "I can't remember anything."
As Korra collapses, we see some beautiful animation of the surf washing back and forth over the beach.
Just as in Bolin's mover, we end with a cliffhanger.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Neurology & Neurosurgery hospital in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy used to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain.
In Gamma Knife radiosurgery, specialized equipment focuses close to 200 tiny beams of radiation on a tumor or other target. Although each beam has very little effect on the brain tissue it passes through, a strong dose of radiation is delivered to the site where all the beams meet.
The precision of Gamma Knife radiosurgery results in minimal damage to healthy tissues surrounding the target. In some cases, Gamma Knife radiosurgery may have a lower risk of side effects compared with other types of radiation therapy. Also, Gamma Knife radiosurgery is often a safer option than is traditional brain surgery.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is usually a one-time therapy completed in a single day.

Pinterest. Virtual home of women all over the world looking to plan weddings, try new recipes, find ways to lose weight, remodel their homes, indulge in retail therapy, or find inspiring quotes. Millions of new pins are added every week to the site built by a small team of people in California. They are credited with giving people all over the world a new social media platform to connect through based on shared tastes and interests. Their goal was to "build a product people love," and considering the site now has 21.5 million people visiting monthly, I think it's safe to say they've accomplished that goal. They've also succeeded in creating a new addiction.
According to Experian, Pinterest is now the third most popular social networking site on the web, behind Facebook and Twitter. That's some fast progress considering just five months ago it was number seven, behind LinkedIn and Myspace. But what some people don't understand is what exactly all the hubbub is about. Why are we obsessed with what could be Tumblr's twin? And what exactly is "pinning"?
Ironically, although the site was founded by a man, InsideNetwork'sAppData tracking service found that about 97% of Pinterest users are women. Of course, men are welcome to check out the site, but I don't know many men who would go crazy over ways to organize their laundry room or make their own candles. Pinning is everything a woman does with a subscription to InStyle, Better Homes and Gardens, and Cosmo…but online. Pinning is what you do after seeing a photo you like. First, in order to make an account, you have to request an invite from Pinterest. Once you have created your account, browse the site. When you find something you like, click the 're-pin' button and it instantly pins that image to your virtual bulletin board. Just like with Facebook and Twitter, your friends can "follow" your pins and if they see something they like, re-pin it to their own bulletin board.
Pinterest can be your best friend when it comes to finding delicious recipes, like IceCreamConePizza, and S'more–StuffedChocolateChipCookies; finding your next home project muse, such as apenny–tiledfloor; planning over–the–toptreehouses for your kids; or scoping out DIY projects for those rainy weekends. It can also be a great way to promote your own website. For example, if you run a blog website for your school, you can link to your writer's articles on Pinterest; it's just another way to get your site more readers and exposure. Communication is what every social media site is for, right?
Check it out, but let this be a caution! You might be surprised by how addicted you get.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Spring break took a toll on the Incline softball team last weekend.
The Highlanders were missing some key players and it resulted in a doubleheader loss to South Tahoe on Saturday. The girls did what they could to adjust to the holes in their lineup, but eventually dropped the first game 11-1 and the second game 18-4.
"I had a lot of girls out of position today because we were missing a lot of players," Incline coach Kelley Thompson said. "Kate May did a really good job because I moved her around in the games."
Caitlin and her sister Kim May adapted quickly to the position changes, and both produced hits for the Highlanders.
Incline was also missing its starting catcher, so Briana Barraza stepped up to fill the void.
"Briana had to catch for the very first time in her life today. She caught both games and did a really good job," Thompson said.
As a whole the Incline pitching staff struggled with control, walking a total of seven batters and hitting four during the first game.
South Tahoe put three runs on the board in the first inning, added two in the second and capped the game with a five-run sixth inning.
In the second game, South Tahoe cruised to an 18-1 lead by the end of the third.
Incline pitcher Sarah Wright turned in a scoreless performance in the final inning.
Despite the loss, coach Thompson said she was glad to give some of the newer players field time.
"It was a day of younger players, so that's good," she said.

Reviewed on 4/12

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of asthma is important so that treatment and other interventions can begin early. If severe symptoms are present, it is vital to begin the appropriate treatment immediately. Accurate and timely assessment of symptoms can help you and your clinician decide if treatment should begin in the home, at your clinician's office, or in the emergency room.
Early warning signs are experienced before the start of an asthma episode. By recognizing these clues that occur before actual asthma symptoms, early treatment can be started. These signs can be different for each person - and early warning signs may be the same, similar, or entirely different for the same person with each episode. Some early warning signs may be noticed only by the individual, while other early warning signs are more likely to be noticed by other persons. In addition, a downward trend in peak flow numbers can be a reliable early warning sign. Some examples of early warning signs are:
Breathing changes
Runny/stuffy nose
Chin or throat itches
Feeling tired
Dark circles under eyes
Trouble sleeping
Poor tolerance for exercise
Downward trend in peak flow number
Get a complete printable early warning signs of asthma checklist.
Asthma symptoms indicate that an asthma episode is occurring. Changes have taken place in the airways and airflow is obstructed. Individuals with asthma experience some or all of these during an asthma episode, and action should be taken to treat these symptoms before they become worse. Talk with your healthcare provider about having a written asthma action plan. Examples of asthma symptoms include:
Shortness of breath
Tightness in the chest
Peak flow numbers in the caution or danger range (usually 50% to 80% of personal best)
Severe asthma symptoms are a life-threatening emergency. If any of these severe asthma symptoms occur, seek emergency medical treatment right away, since these symptoms indicate respiratory distress. Examples of severe asthma symptoms include:
Severe coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or tightness in the chest
Difficulty talking or concentrating
Walking causes shortness of breath
Breathing may be shallow and fast or slower than usual
Hunched shoulders (posturing)
Nasal flaring (nostril size increases with breathing)
Neck area and between or below the ribs moves inward with breathing (retractions)
Gray or bluish tint to skin, beginning around the mouth (cyanosis)
Peak flow numbers in the danger zone (usually below 50% of personal best)

Hey guys,
I try to stream my full HD videos from my iMac (directly connected via DLAN 500) to my PS3 which also got a direct DLAN 500 connection.
Somehow the streaming bitrate is too low, so that it often stutters...
To improve the bitrate I'm looking for the ideal setup for the PS3 Media Server Streaming.
It's the newest iMac that I'm using so I guess rendering shouldn't be the problem..
Please help.

The Pentagon says Alabama, Florida and Mississippi have requested the federal mobilization of National Guard troops to aid clean-up efforts along the Gulf Coast.
Col. Dave Lapan, a Defense Department spokesman, said Monday that those requests are similar to one made last week by Louisiana.
That request allowed up to 6,000 National Guard troops, paid for by the federal government under Title 32 law, to be made available to Louisiana.
So far, on-site coordinators have called in only 600 of those Guard troops, although defense officials say that number could go higher.
Mississippi and Coast Guard officials say Mississippi's coastline is in no immediate danger from the oil spill.
Adm. Thad Allen, the commandant of the Coast Guard, said Monday the spill is currently 40 to 50 miles wide and 80 to 90 miles long, but has remained in the vicinity of the well from which it is leaking.
Though it is impossible to guess where the oil might head, Allen said if it starts moving toward the Mississippi coast, the state would get a 72 to 96 hour advanced notice. That notice has not yet been given.
Gov. Haley Barbour said what preventative measures can be taken, have been.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency opened a call center to answer questions from concerned residents regarding the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. The number is 866-920-MEMA (6362), operating 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The federal budget "fiscal cliff" -- automatic deep budget cuts and tax increases -- holds a special threat for California.
Unless Congress and the president strike a deal to avert it, the state's first projected budget surpluses in a decade could vanish into an $11 billion deficit triggered by a national recession, the state's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office said in its annual fiscal outlook.
Like states around the country, California would be forced to contend with across-the-board federal tax rate hikes and massive spending cuts, dampening the state's economic rebound.

10 Plastic Surgery Mistakes No One Talks About
You've heard about the chance of blood clots and infection -- but these common plastic surgery side effects will shock you
"Non-plastic surgeons are performing liposuction on patients in these medical spas and clinics and killing them," says Tachmes. Doctors at these spas give patients local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia (in most states, anesthesia cannot be administered in an office without hospital affiliation) and end up overdosing the patients because the pain gets too intense. The patients then die right there on the table from respiratory depression, says Tachmes.

The LXi is a straight-tracking boat.
The LXi had no tendency to skid or slip in turns and she carried her way with great ease on our test run. This handling is due to the triple fins on the forward centerline section of the hull.
Invite the whole crowd to come along for the ride.
As you can see the Sunsetter LXi is family-friendly. Besides being a good tow boat she offers comfortable accommodations for a day of fun in the sun.
The Sunsetter LXi offers good standard features.
Even with the engine box in the middle of the cockpit there's still room to move around. The aft trunk that opens up from the swim platform is great for waterskiers or swimmers to quickly stow their g
The LXi has a sporty helm with good visibilty.
Sitting behind the helm of the LXi is like sitting behind the helm of a sports car. The seat has lumber support and everything on the dash is within easy reach.
As the largest boat to ever pass the American Water Ski association's test criteria for towing, the Sunsetter LXi is a boat that gives you the best of all worlds. First and foremost it's a towboat, built on the same SV23 Diamond hull that tows many of the world's most prestigious waterski events. Now normally if you're building a world-class ski boat, that's the end of the story…but not in the Sunsetter since it also does double-duty as an all-around family sport boat/bowrider with a seating capacity of 10 persons.
The first thing we noticed about the Sunsetter was its oversized aft trunk, located just forward of the swim platform. This allows skiers and boarders to stow their gear immediately after coming out of the water, so there's no need to drag equipment in or out of the cockpit…a feature you're guests will appreciate.
Like most tournament-level boats, the Sunsetter has its powerplant—-in this case a beefy 325-hp Indmar Monsoon straight-drive—-located amidships for best balance, and the shallow shaft angle (turning a 4-bladed 14x17 wheel) helped the Sunsetter get up on plane with almost no perceptible bowrise in a blistering 2.4 seconds from idle-tow speed! There is good room all around the engine box to walk fore-and-aft, and the cover itself is well supported and easily lifted by two gas-assist struts.
For precision driving there's a convenient arm rest just behind the single-lever throttle, and our tests showed the Sunsetter will hold its speed (and rpm setting) precisely throughout the rpm range. Moreover, the rudder is tuned to produce a slight right-hand turn pressure, which keeps play out of the steering system, and the company's R&D supervisor Danny Gasper says this attention to detail (along with triple fins on the forward hull) keep allow the Sunsetter to track straight and true within an inch or two of your desired course! The helm chair itself features a lumbar support for long days on the water, but its not really needed thanks to the soft ride delivered by the Diamond hull in short chop.
Out on the water, we had a good chance to test the "Wedge", an exclusive feature Malibu introduced in 1997. This is an underwater hydrofoil that bolts onto the transom, and when its lowered and locked in the down position, it creates an incredible 1,000 pounds of downward force, converting the Sunsetter from a flat-wake ski boat to a jumbo-wake boarding boat for big air. That, combined with Malibu's Launch System (which adds another 500 pounds of water ballast in the boat), make it easy to transform this towboat into any configuration you'd like…ski boat, wakeboard boat, or all-around family fun boat.

Leukodystrophy is a break down of a component of the nervous system called the myelin, which is a significant part of what makes the white matter of the brain. Myelin protects the part of the nerve that sends signals throughout the brain. The break down of myelin makes it difficult for the brain to send these signals. Leukodystrophy is a rare disease.
Types of leukodystrophies include:
Most leukodystrophies begin in infancy or childhood. However, there are several types that may not begin until adolescence or early adulthood.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Leukodystrophy is caused by a genetic defect. This defect impairs the growth or development of the myelin. Each type of leukodystrophy is the result of a specific genetic defect. Most leukodystrophies are passed from parent to child, though some may develop in people without a family history.
A family history of leukodystrophy may increase your chance of leukodystrophy.
Symptoms of leukodystrophy may include:
Some leukodystrophies may involve other organ systems which can cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images of the brain may be taken. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Tests may be done on your nerves. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Depending on the type of leukodystrophy and the symptoms, treatment may include:
In a few of the leukodystrophies,
bone marrow transplant
may help. It may be able to slow or stop the progression of the disease.
Replacement of the abnormal or absent enzyme is being explored for a few of the leukodystrophies. Research is being done in this area.
Talk to your doctor to find out what treatments may be right for you.
There is no known way to prevent leukodystrophy. For parents who have had a child with leukodystrophy, genetic counseling may be helpful. This counseling will help to determine the chances of having another child with the disease.

Post subject: Yayy !!!
Didn't think I'd get to say this agin but we've decided to "actively" TTC again Probably won't work as I have been told I have scarring and only IVF will work, but I've started some treatments that are supposed to help and we're going to give it a few months of BD at the right times and see what happens
Staying away from the CBFM and OPK's though as I find they make me stressed
Could be setting myself up for a fall, but feeling fairly positive right now, especially as I think I may have ov'd yesterday at CD 12 which would be a record for me or even overnight on CD11 we BD cd10/11 and this morning so FX the timing was right at least and I've had ov type pains on both sides so maybe we even got 2 eggs this time
I've read some good things about the stuff i'm taking (if anyone wants the details PM me, the stuffs supposed to help shrink endo as well ) and some Ladies have got BFP's after being told IVF was the only option So FX they work for me , definately doing something mind you if I've ov'd already
Good luck to everyone trying , hope January/February brings lots of BFP's xxx

Ooooo good luck Nat I dont blame you. Me and o/h have a plan of action if all the fertility treatment fails, Im going to go to my doctor and request a hsg to see what is going on with my remaining tube. Do you think if it was found to be blocked they would refer me for a laparoscopy again to try and fix it? One thing I was pleased about this week is when we went to the clinic and I had a pipelle done he checked my ovaries and I ovulated from my left (the side with the tube), I had become convinced I didnt ov from that side because I only ever get right side pain so that was a plus.

Thanks Ladies xx
Nutty you can only ask can't you As they've done it before they might If they weren't keen on surgery then you could ask about the cannulation , as its considered less invasive and less likely to result in more scarring
They should offer you some form of treatment though as you're both young and don't have a child together and the HSG comes under investigations anyway
Yayy to ov'ing on the left
I always thought my left ovary was lazy (also where my tube is ) I don't get pain on that side either but almost always do on the right and when I had the cannulation on cd 9 and the doc showed me the pics I had loads of follicles on both sides its really weird seeing that stuff isn't it
On the other lap pics done just before AF they were just smooth and greyish but this one they were covered in loads of little white/yellowish bumps , she said if anything there were more on the left
So obviously our lefties just get on with it without making a fuss and the right ovaries are grumblers
I'm not getting my hopes up as I only started the high dose of both together just over a week before I ov'd but I have been reading someones blog and she started them in January after being told both tubes were blocked and IVF was the only option , and by mid March had a BFP and then found out she was 6 weeks along
I've noticed a difference in a couple of external scars already , including the one from my first lap which was a mess, the doc said there's nothing they can do with a scar that old (20 months) but its definately looking less raised and thinner and less red and I can barely feel the scar in my arm from having my implant over 13yrs ago so if they can help with that then surely they can help with this other one
I'm crossing everything for you that this FET works and you only need one batch of your embryo's its about time you had some good luck xxxx

We only have 2 batches left Nat a 4 and a 3 and guess what.... they havent labelled them (human error apparantly which they were very dismissive off when we were told) so they have no idea which number theyll be taking out the freezer If they take out the 3 we have to hope and pray we get 2 good ones survive if not then we have to pray that 1 at least survives and is a good quality if not we then have to make the decision whether to defrost all of our remaining frozens to get 2 or go with the 1.

It's ridiculous isn't it Nutty , you'd think they'd freeze them in ones or two's ,so you don't need to defrost as many I don't know why they won't refreeze them for you either as I've read it works quite well with blasts Hopefully you will get 2 this time and it will be a case of 3rd time lucky , if you only get one they should offer a free transfer next time if it doesn't take, rather than risk defrosting the other batch and having too many, you'd think they'd have more empathy when they're dealing with peoples potential babies xxx
Thanks poppytops xx
Michelle I only know because I had a reversal so there was always the potential for it to happen so after TTC for 6 months (I was over 35)I went to my GP and was referred for a HSG which showed no fill in my only tube , then a follow up lap also showed no fill, I still wasn't convinced as it wasn't at the reversal site, so i contacted my surgeon and had another Lap which seemed to confirm it (Nov 2011) I almost gave up then, but found out about tubal cannulation and asked at my follow up last jan and got a referral (to St Mary's Manchester), finally had it done in October and the blockage (at the junction of tube and uterus)was gone unfotunately there was another further along, I actually saw the footage from the cameras (one in my womb and one in my abdomen) so i could see the dye travel to the reversal site and stop They've said its almost certainly scarring because of where it was and the fact the guide wire couldn't budge it
If you suspect scarring the first thing I'd do is see your GP and ask about an HSG , if that comes back no fill then it can be down to spasms so they may offer a laproscopy to have a better look, a HSG will pick up blockages in the tube but it might not tell you whats causing them, which could be anything from a twisted tube to external adhesions from c sections or any other abdominal surgery, whereas the lap can see if there are any of these problems and often put them right , If your GP won't refer you then a private HSG is between about £250 to 400 depending on where you live, the NHS are supposed to offer cannulation if they think you have a blockage but they often just tell you to have IVF, I had to really push to get the cannulation , luckily I got to see a doc who specialises in tubal infertility ( Dr Seif) and I think basically was quite keen to get the chance to do the Op as many women will just skip to IVF
It probably the biggest single cause of secondary infertility now though so i think GP's are getting better at dealing with it and are less likely to fob women off and say just keep trying , Good luck xxx

We've sent a long email to them yesterday listing all our concerns and things we are not happy with, theres quite a few things bothering us this time. We really are quite annoyed that we had them all frozen as a 4,4 and 3. Another lady who is at the clinic had 7 blastocysts frozen and they froze hers all as 1s.
Just feeling a bit negative about everything at the moment think it may the suprecur lol

Israel: Possible Military Strike Against Iran's Nuclear Facilities
Date: March 27, 2012
Creator: Zanotti, Jim; Katzman, Kenneth; Gertler, Jeremiah & Hildreth, Steven A.
Description: Several published reports indicate that top Israeli decision makers now are seriously considering whether to order a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, and if so, when. This report analyzes key factors that may influence current Israeli political decisions relating to a possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. For Congress, the potential impact-short- and long-term-of an Israeli decision regarding Iran and its implementation is a critical issue of concern.

STOCKTON — Authorities made another arrest as part of Operation Gideon IV early Wednesday morning, apprehending Harry Hawkins III following a high-speed pursuit through central Stockton, the California Highway Patrol said.
Hawkins was stopped for a mechanical violation at 12:48 a.m. near East Main Street and North Airport Way, the CHP said. Hawkins briefly spoke to officers before accelerating and leaving the scene, authorities said.
Hawkins led officers on a two-mile pursuit, traversing several city streets at speeds that reached 80 mph, the CHP said. He crashed into a tree after losing control of his vehicle near East Weber Avenue and South Commerce Street, authorities said. Hawkins attempted to flee on foot, but he was taken into custody after officers used a Taser to subdue him, the CHP said.
Officers determined that Hawkins was driving under the influence of alcohol, authorities said. They also discovered that he had a federal warrant for his arrest on drug conspiracy and distribution charges, the CHP said. The warrant was issued under Operation Gideon IV, a joint effort between the Stockton Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to target some of the city's most violent criminals.

One study from Ontario's Brock University revealed that wine enthusiasts are more likely to enjoy a wine if it has a fancy or difficult-to-pronounce name. They're also willing to pay more for it.
Wine researcher Antonia Mantonakis conducted a marketing study in which she asked participants to taste various wines, then report how much they liked and were willing to pay for each. "Participants not only reported liking the taste of the wine better if it was associated with a difficult to pronounce winery name. But they also reported about a $2 increase in willingness to pay," Mantonakis told NPR in 2012.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- An employee at the Subway on Peach Orchard Road in Augusta says he was cleaning the counter when a masked man came into the store.
He says the man was wearing a white flannel shirt, black pants, a white mask over his face and a black ski mask over the white mask.
The employee says the masked man kept his right hand in his jacket pocket and placed a green plastic trick-or-treat bag on the counter while stating, "You know what time it is."
The store employee filled the bag with money from the register when the masked man banged the counter yelling, "Hurry up!"
The masked man then grabbed the bag of money and left the store, running southbound behind the building and out of sight.
No suspects have been identified at this time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu, Public Information Officer (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; April 1, 2014) – Based on a residency challenge filed by the Secretary of State's Elections Division against John Michael Schaefer, a Democratic candidate for Nevada State Controller, the Attorney General's office yesterday petitioned the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County to order Schaefer to appear before it and show cause why he should not be taken off the primary election ballot. The Attorney General's office determined that probable cause exists to support the challenge, which would disqualify Schaefer from running for controller. A copy of the petition can be found by clicking here. "As Nevada's chief elections officer, I stand ready to enforce the state's election laws and requirements," said Secretary of State Ross Miller. "We await the court's decision and will abide by its conclusion." Schaefer filed his Declaration of Candidacy for controller on March 7, 2014, during the candidacy filing period. The Secretary of State's Elections Division learned that Schaefer resided outside of Nevada during the two years preceding the 2014 General Election, subsequently not meeting the residency requirement as set forth in Nevada Revised Statutes 227.010(2). Schaefer is currently registered to vote in Los Angeles County and cast a ballot in the 2012 General Election in Los Angeles County. Furthermore, Schaefer filed candidacy papers with the City of Los Angeles on November 5, 2012, to run for city council, district 13 and declared his residency to be in the City of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Clerk's Office, Elections Division, confirms that Schaefer established his residency in district 13 in California on August 15, 2012.

Medicare Begins Open Enrollment, With An Online Caveat
Originally published on Tue October 15, 2013 1:08 pm
The open enrollment for Medicare programs that began Tuesday will run into December. While the Medicare website doesn't have the problems found in the new federal health system's sites, the government shutdown means that information "may not be up to date," the site warns its users.
For Newscast, NPR's Julie Rovner reports:
"Medicare's open season is set to run from today until Dec. 7. It's when seniors and others enrolled in the program can join or change prescription drug or other health plans. But the government shutdown has meant that some of the information on the medicare.gov website about plan selections is not completely up to date.
"Government officials warn that Medicare patients may want to wait to make their final decisions until after the government reopens and the information is updated."
Congress and the White House are facing a Thursday deadline to agree on budget terms that would allow the government to resume full operations. Much of the debate has hinged on elements of the Affordable Care Act, which ushered in new health insurance exchanges this month.
As Jenny Gold reported for our Shots blog over the weekend, the online marketplaces that facilitate the ACA's health coverage have run into problems, ranging from software snags to staffing shortages.
On Medicare's page devoted to open enrollment, the agency notes, "Medicare's Open Enrollment is not part of the Affordable Care Act's new Health Insurance Marketplace, and people with Medicare do not need to do anything with Marketplace plans."
And as Julie has noted for Shots, those who want to sign up for Obamacare need to remember two looming deadlines.
"The first is Dec. 15. That's the date by which you need to be signed up if you want your coverage to begin Jan. 1, 2014," she says. "The other date is Feb. 15, 2014. That's the last day you can get coverage and avoid being liable for a penalty for not having insurance."

Program is open source, so no problem building a Universal Binary yourself.
BTW, if using Macports, add the following lines to /usr/share/misc/man.conf:
MANPATH /opt/local/share/man
MANPATH_MAP /opt/local/bin /opt/local/share/man
Gotta correct myself - Bwana /does/ nicely integrate with Firefox.
Nice, well made and doesn't get in your way. Just the way I like it! Now if only it would integrate with Firefox, Quicksilver or Spotlight ... but I'll use it often anyway.
Cool! I imagine this concept could be applied for many other services as well.
I really like this app - clean, simple, and to the point. :)
Actually, Bwana 1.8 is not Universal, though it runs fine in Rosetta.

Energy Department Updates National Solar Thermal Test Facility
The molten salt test loop is the only test facility in the country that can provide real power plant conditions and collect data about the interactions of pressure, temperature, and flow rates.
The Energy Department's National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF), operated by the Department's Sandia National Laboratories, was recently overhauled. The $17.8 million upgrade to the NSTTF added state-of-the-art test capabilities. The resulting research conducted at the facility is expected to lead to more solar power use on the electric grid.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funded the nine-part project consisting of new additions and upgrades to the test center, much of which had not been updated since it was built in 1976. The improvements include adding a new $10 million molten salt test loop, an optical methods laboratory and other critical testing capabilities, and upgrading the parabolic trough test platform. It also included a $3.8 million investment to replace the 218 original heliostat mirrors aimed at the Solar Tower, a key improvement because glass and reflective technology have change significantly in the past three decades.
The facility uses concentrating solar power (CSP), which employs mirrors to focus the sun's heat onto a receiver. The receiver captures thermal energy that can either generate electricity immediately or store it for later use. CSP receivers increasingly use molten salt to store heat generated by the sun because it is cheap and stores thermal energy for long periods, which provides greater flexibility for the electric grid. See the Sandia National Laboratories' press release.

ALAMEDA -- When Matt Schaub had his fifth consecutive strong season for the Houston Texans in 2012, tight ends caught 124 passes for 1,309 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Tight ends were a big part of the Schaub passing game every season, with Owen Daniels and Joel Dreessen doing much of the damage. So when Schaub was traded to the Raiders earlier this year, Oakland tight end hopeful David Ausberry took notice.
"He's tight end-friendly, so that's pretty good for us," Ausberry said Monday as the Raiders began their second week of organized team activities. "When you watch the film, he likes to use tight ends, he likes to use the middle of the field, and we'll be there for him."
Exactly who will be there is unclear. Ausberry, who went on injured reserve Sept. 23 and eventually had shoulder surgery, has been getting first-team looks with second-year player Mychal Rivera. Second-year player Nick Kasa and Brian Leonhardt, a practice squad player last season, are also in the mix.
Although the Raiders remade much of their roster, they didn't add any free agent tight ends and did not re-sign Jeron Mastrud, primarily a blocker. Coach Dennis Allen conceded it wasn't entirely by design.
Daniels, a Schaub target in Houston, signed with the Baltimore Ravens, and other tight ends also found deals elsewhere.
"It's sort of like when you go sit on Santa Claus' lap," Allen said of free agency. "You ask for a bunch of stuff, you get about half of it. That's kind of where we're at. I feel good about having some young guys at tight end, and we're going to need those guys to step up."
It forced the Raiders to go away from putting Woodson in pass rushing situations and playing him at different spots, a style that helped him flourish into a Hall of Fame candidate with the Green Bay Packers.
Woodson said he's working on being a better deep safety -- new secondary coach Marcus Robertson has helped in that regard -- but is ready for anything.
"There's no question I'm going to get better," Woodson said. "As far as moving around and doing different things, that will be up to the coaches. I definitely can. We'll see how that progresses."
Allen said none of the injuries are expected to be long-term.
Allen said quarterbacks "don't have to be great athletes, but they have to have a pocket presence ... and be able to slide and maneuver in the pocket ... I think Matt has some of those qualities."
The Raiders last held joint practices with the 49ers in 2008 and 2009 in Napa the week preceding their preseason game. Oakland also practiced with the Texans in Houston before a 2005 preseason game.
Dallas and Oakland practiced in Austin in 1997 and held a scrimmage at the Sun Bowl in El Paso in 1998.

The recent article regarding Alethea Shepperly's lawsuit against Monroe-Woodbury Board of Education President Michael DiGeronimo comes as no surprise to those of us who have tried to expose his injudicious behavior.
If true, the allegations in the suit raise DiGeronimo's actions to a new high. Apparently not content to ruin the lives of certain employees whom he does not like, he has extended his influence to affect the rights of children and parents.
So is DiGeronimo unique or are there others like him in the school district? There are others. The central office administrators, Superintendent Ed Mehrhof and his assistants, Jeff White and Brian Monahan, are aware of his actions while maintaining a conspicuous silence. The inadequate oversight by a dysfunctional Board of Education has allowed DiGeronimo to rule as the Kim Jong Un of Orange County school board members.
Additionally, there are others implicated in the suit, including doctors, lawyers and other employees. There needs to be a full investigation of these allegations by the state Education Department and the judicial system. In the meantime, someone needs to rein in DiGeronimo.

Where is the public outrage? How dare 46 senators get to block what 90 percent of Americans want? I would urge your paper and its affiliates to publish the names of all the senators and how they voted, and to do this, weekly, until an act is passed that begins to reflect what the people want.
Those of us who want commonsense legislation are in the vast majority. Our voices need to be heard. Canvass the neighbors on the street where you live, and send the results to your legislators. Be part of a movement that will endure.

PALO ALTO -- Revealing yet another staggering corporate foul-up that sent its stock price into a tailspin, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) said Tuesday it had failed to detect "outright misrepresentations" about the value of Autonomy before paying about $11 billion for the software firm last year.
Coming on the heels of the company's other recent missteps, the disclosure has raised deep concerns about the quality of leadership at the Palo Alto technology giant and fears it may have become so dysfunctional its future is in serious doubt. Alarmed by the latest news, some Wall Street analysts immediately downgraded HP's stock, which sank to its lowest point in a decade at the close of trading.
"This story has been an unmitigated train wreck," Brian Marshall of the ISI Group concluded in a note to his clients. He advised investors against buying HP's shares "as negative information continues to pour out" of the company, adding that "the end is not in sight."
HP made the disclosure while reporting it lost nearly $7 billion in the fourth quarter and $12.7 billion for the fiscal year. Its quarterly sales of $30 billion were down 7 percent from the same period a year ago and its $120 billion in fiscal-year sales were off 5 percent from the previous year.
Much of the red ink was due to an $8.8 billion write-down related to its purchase of United Kingdom-based Autonomy. More than $5 billion of that amount was due to "serious accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures" by Autonomy's former managers, HP said, with the rest stemming from recent declines in HP's stock price. It was the second consecutive quarter involving a multibillion-dollar write-down related to a company HP bought.
Meg Whitman, who took over as HP's CEO in September 2011, said during a conference call that HP discovered the problems only after it bought Autonomy, whose software helps customers sort through massive amounts of data. She said a former Autonomy executive revealed details of the misrepresented finances.
"We are extremely disappointed with the news," Whitman said. "There appears to have been a willful effort on behalf of certain former Autonomy employees to inflate the underlying financial metrics of the company in order to mislead investors and potential buyers."
HP said many of the misrepresentations involved sales of Autonomy's low-end hardware products and transactions "where no end-user customer existed at the time of the sale."
HP issued a statement saying the matter has been referred to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and U.K. regulators "for civil and criminal investigation," and the company "is preparing to seek redress against various parties in the appropriate civil courts to recoup what it can for its shareholders."
But the case already is turning into a finger-pointing dispute.
HP didn't accuse anyone by name, but regulators most likely will want to talk with Autonomy's founder and former CEO, Mike Lynch. He had remained with Autonomy after HP bought the business, though Whitman noted earlier this year, "I let Mike go" because the business was performing poorly.
However, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Lynch called HP's claims about Autonomy "utterly wrong," and accused HP of mismanaging Autonomy so badly "now they are trying to cover it up with this big write-off."
Another potentially contentious issue could center on some of the outside firms that were involved in the Autonomy deal. HP General Counsel John Schultz said Autonomy had been audited by the consulting firm Deloitte, which raised no red flags. And while HP had hired KPMG to advise it about the purchase, it had to rely on Deloitte's audits and also had reported no irregularities.
Nonetheless, back in 2011 the software company's purchase had been immediately controversial, with investors questioning the price of about $11 billion. Oracle (ORCL), of Redwood City, said at the time it had valued Autonomy at less than $6 billion. The purchase was made under the tenure of former CEO Léo Apotheker, who told The Wall Street Journal he was "stunned and disappointed" by Tuesday's revelations.
It was the latest in a series of blunders by the storied technology company.
Just last quarter it reported an $8.9 billion loss after writing down $8 billion in connection with its $13.9 billion purchase of Electronic Data Systems in 2008, one of several questionable purchases HP has made. Another big problem for HP has been the slowing sales of personal computers -- its primary business -- which largely contributed to its recent decision to lay off 29,000 workers over the next couple of years.
In addition, HP's executive ranks have been in turmoil, with Whitman the fourth CEO since 2005.
Some industry observers said HP has a good chance to weather this latest fiasco and praised Whitman for her efforts to turn around the troubled company by cutting expenses, reorganizing divisions and identifying markets where it potentially can boost its sales.
"Given what she inherited, she's done a reasonable job of getting HP pointed in the right direction," said Neil McDonald, a fellow with the Gartner research firm.
"Overall," added Charles King, president and principal analyst of Hayward-based Pundit, "we don't think it's time to head for the lifeboats quite yet."
But by the time the market closed after the Autonomy disclosure, HP's stock price had fallen $1.59 to $11.71. The last time its shares were lower was in September 2002. And other analysts issued dire warnings about the company in notes to their clients.
"Every peel of the onion seems to reveal more spoilage," said Discern analyst Cindy Shaw.

One dreary fall day last year our oldest bounded into the house with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. Because such exuberance is rare, she had my attention. "So," she exclaimed, "this super cool old dude came to school today, and well, I want to learn to play the oboe." "What?" was all I could muster in response. Playing the oboe wasn't exactly what I expected would float this pre-teen's boat. Admittedly musically challenged, I immediately visualized her attempting to board a school bus sporting a music case bigger than she was. Fortunately, I had confused the oboe with a bassoon, and was significantly relieved to learn her sights were set on the smaller, sleeker instrument, with a much more manageable case. With that concern alleviated, we encouraged her to give it a go.
Before continuing, it's important to note the moniker "old dude" was never intended with any disrespect. When you're 12, anyone beyond the distant age of 40 fits that bill.
Shortly after our conversation, the oboe made its first trip home. We learned all about its unique double reed, and listened to practice that reminded us, rather wistfully, of the duck calls fashioned by the girls' granddad back in Nebraska. The months passed and the dude kept showing up at SMS, volunteering his time and sharing his musical expertise. Soon the duckling noises were transformed into actual notes, far easier on the ear. Still, it wasn't until late spring that we finally met the man so giving of his time and talent to the middle school. Rather rapidly, bits and pieces of the oboe puzzle started falling into place.
Seems the dude willing to travel from Breck to the middle school in the dead of winter was no stranger to teaching. Inducted into the Colorado Music Teacher's Hall of Fame in 2000, Dr. Kenneth Evans is an internationally renowned professor of oboe. Although he retired from his position as a University of Northern Colorado music professor some years ago, he's far from finished teaching. Many of you likely are familiar with a pet project that started as a tribute to Breck's centennial celebration in 1980, and blossomed into the Breckenridge Music Institute, a "cherished dream" of Dr. Evans and his wife, Dona. The BMI evolved through the years, and the music plays on through the diligent efforts of the Breckenridge Music Festival that annually brings extraordinary musicians to these mountains.
This week marks a special anniversary, and a fine time to give a "shout-out" to Dr. Evans, who is celebrating a birthday. Pondering what keeps this teacher from resting on his laurels, it seemed appropriate to seek out one of his former students, SMS music teacher Mark Clark. When asked about his former instructor, I immediately recognized the sparkle in Clark's eyes - quite reminiscent of that day last fall - as he recalled his time studying under Dr. Evans nearly 40 years ago. It seems some things are wonderful constant, like Dr. Evans' and his wife Dona's uncanny ability to welcome students from all backgrounds into their lives. "Dr. Evans is at his core an educator," Clark explained. "He really cares about his students," Clark's wife chimed in.
In the meantime, Evans also manages to devote time to other passions, like fly fishing, world travelling, reed making, with family topping the list. He's always striving, Clark explained - to encourage and contribute. Resting, apparently, can wait. Sadly, this column's space is too limited to elaborate on the gifts Dr. Evans and his wife have shared with the communities they call home, but if music is involved, they've likely had some hand in it.
When I googled the "dude" for some background, I ran across a quote from Dr. Miles M. Ishigaki, professor of music, California State University, Fresno, who eloquently explained "Dr. Evans' keen artistic insights and high academic standards combined with his depth of pedagogy and wealth of performance experiences are matched by few people in the teaching profession." True enough. When I asked our daughter what made Dr. Evans so special, her response was far simpler, "Dr. Evans is my friend." The near 70-year age difference a drop in the bucket when it comes to making the connection that fuels the learning fires. Happy birthday Dr. Evans, may you continue to inspire for many years to come.
Cindy Bargell lives with her husband and two children outside of Silverthorne, and is working hard to recognize and appreciate the amazing musical talent that graces Summit County.

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers' signings of free-agent wide receivers Mario Manningham and Randy Moss might have generated more buzz, but their best move of the 2012 offseason might have been retaining one of their own.
"Vic Fangio made the comment the other day, 'The smartest thing we did as an organization was pay Ahmad Brooks and keep him as a 49er,' " coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday, referring to his defensive coordinator. "We would all concur with that."
The 49ers kept Brooks from becoming a free agent by signing him to a six-year, $44.5 million deal in February with $17.5 million guaranteed. The move rewarded Brooks, 28, for his performance in the 2011 season, his first as a starter with the 49ers after spending his first two seasons with them as a backup and core special teams player.
Brooks started all 16 regular-season games the past two seasons, with seven sacks in 2011 and 6½ this season.
Brooks played a huge role in helping the 49ers advance to the Super Bowl in their victory over the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game. He batted down a pass on third-and-4 from the 49ers' 10-yard line, likely preventing a first down with 1:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Falcons turned over the ball on downs on the next play, and the 49ers held on for a 28-24 victory.
"It's flattering," Brooks said of Harbaugh's high praise. "For it to be one of their smartest moves, it was one of my smartest moves, as well.
"It wasn't all about the money to me. I knew that coming back here I would be playing with a great group of guys and playing for a championship. So, it was a smart decision on my part, as well."
Harbaugh said Brooks is a consummate team player, the kind the organization seeks in building its roster.
Brooks often gets overshadowed by the three other linebackers on the field -- Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith. Yet, he finds a way to stand out time and again, be it against the run, rushing the quarterback or in pass coverage.
"He's done it with very little fanfare in terms of how he talks about himself," Harbaugh said. "But he's been a tireless worker. I go back to the first days of the offseason program. I don't know if he ever missed a day. He's been a great contributor, great leader, and a really high performer on the field."
