"Matt Lauer is the best in the business," said Alex Wallace, NBC News executive who oversees the "Today" show. "We want him in the 'Today' show anchor chair for many years to come."
Wallace spoke after reports of a meeting with Cooper first appeared in Deadline Hollywood. The report was confirmed to The Associated Press by a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private and was not authorized to speak to the media.
The longtime king of morning television, "Today" has fallen behind ABC's "Good Morning America" in the ratings over the past year, particularly since the messy ouster of Ann Curry as Lauer's co-anchor last summer. There has been a flurry of stories recently retracing that decision. Lauer has said he urged the network to move more slowly with its planned changes, but a New York magazine cover story this week suggested he didn't like Curry and did little to help her.
Whatever happened, it's clear that many "Today" viewers who did not like what happened to Curry have taken their anger out on Lauer.
In 2012, Lauer's positive "Q" score was 23—meaning 23 percent of people who knew him considered Lauer one of their favorite broadcasters, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc.
Where in the world is Matt Lauer? Trapped in a vortex of bad vibes with no escape in sight.
The approach to Cooper could mean that NBC has concluded that the time is right to actively work on replacing Lauer. Or not: his contract expires at the end of 2014 and it is widely assumed that Lauer will be ready then to move on from a job he's held since 1997. Under those circumstances, a forward-looking management team would be expected to be looking at alternatives.
"NBC News has many exploratory talks with talent inside and outside of the network, but to read anything specific into that is presumptuous," said an NBC News executive who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss personnel moves.
Lauer has talked about resetting "Today" to be more serious, with less emphasis on crime stories. NBC was criticized this week by advocates for sexual abuse victims because "Today" aired excerpts of an interview that filmmaker John Ziegler had with convicted Penn State molester Jerry Sandusky; Lauer interviewed Ziegler on the air.
Potential internal replacements for Lauer could include Willie Geist, who co-hosts the third hour of "Today" in addition to work on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and "Meet the Press" anchor David Gregory. Both have subbed for Lauer when he was absent.
The question for many in the television industry is whether the "Today" show can hope to change its fortunes with Lauer at the helm. "Today" hasn't beaten "Good Morning America" for any week in the ratings since the Olympics last summer and with Roberts' return after an illness in February, the gap between the two shows hit its widest. NBC says preliminary numbers show the two shows last week were as close as they've been since December and that "Today" frequently wins among youthful news viewers.
"This awful, false narrative campaign against Matt has certainly made him vulnerable, but Matt is still, in my opinion, the best anchor who has ever occupied that chair," said Shelley Ross, former executive producer at "Good Morning America" and "The Early Show" at CBS, where she competed against Lauer. She said she believed NBC's competitors were helping to keep negative stories about Lauer alive.
NBC was right to replace Curry but handled it badly, she said.
The cyclical nature of television is also likely hurting Lauer. It's a rare personality that stays beloved forever. Ross and others in the industry believe that Lauer's latest contract, which reportedly pays him $25 million a year, drove a wedge between the anchor and viewers who no longer view him as a regular guy.
Paul Friedman, a former news executive at ABC and CBS, also said Lauer is the best he's seen in his role. But currently, ABC's "Good Morning America" is a broadcast that provides viewers with information from personalities who appear to be enjoying what they're doing, he said.
"I don't think the fuss in the press is what matters to viewers," said Friedman, who teaches journalism at Connecticut's Quinnipiac University. "What matters is what is seen on the air, and right now what's on the air is a cast that doesn't appear to enjoy themselves and what they're doing—as they do at 'Good Morning America.'"

Feels great
I like a firm mattress and this is pretty firm, if it were firmer I would probably like it better but it is still good. So far, it hasn't broken down.Read More
Best bed I ever bought, so comfortable and easy to set up.Read More
Most Helpful
First off, I just want to say that like many of the other reviewers here my husband and I were weary of purchasing a mattress, let alone a memory foam mattress, over the internet with no way to test it. We decided that since it was relatively cheap, we'd go ahead and try it. We could not be happier! This mattress is exactly as it's described. It is very, very comfortable. We did wait the 48 hours to let the bed air out like the product says to. We didn't want to take any chances on messing it up or ruining it. We never did get the full 14 inches, but we're less than a quarter inch from it, so it's no big deal. The mattress does come with a mattress cover, but it's not a traditional one. It's more like a couch cushion cover and I'm assuming it is zipped up somewhere on the side, but we could never find it to take it off, but it's quilted and very soft. It's softer than our sheets. We still went ahead and bought a waterproof mattress cover because we have two large dogs and anything could happen. Of course, everyone's opinion of "medium firm" differs, but for me it is still pretty darn firm. I sink into it, but not as much as I would like but it is okay because I do tend to have lower back pain as well as shoulder pain. Since sleeping on this mattress I can honestly say that my back and shoulder have not bothered me. I like to also sleep on my side and stomach (I am not a back sleeper) and it is wonderful. :-) My husband sleeps on all sides including his back and he loves it. Like most memory foam mattress' you do tend to get really warm. If you tend to have hot flashes, I would not recommend a memory foam mattress. However, since I get really cold a lot this is perfect for me. I stay warm and sleep like I have never slept before. It is so hard for me to actually get up in the morning and start my day. I am so glad we decided to purchase this mattress. It is wonderful and now my husband and I can sleep in the positions most comfortable to us without bumping or kneeing each other at night like we did in our old pillow top Queen.Read More
Years of Backaches GONE!
I shopped mattresses for two months locally and couldn't believe how expensive they were. I have back problems and was leaning towards the memory foam mattress. Then I received the Overstock email featuring the mattress sale and saw this mattress. I was hesitant to buy because of three things: 1 - the price was so affordable making me question quality; 2 - I knew I could not handle a firm mattress and 3 - I worried that it would be hot. DO NOT WORRY. After studying the reviews closely I decided to order and I have not had one bit of buyers remorse. It is basically shrink wrapped and compressed and expands when you open it. You will need two people to maneuver it unless you are really strong and have plenty of room. Once in place simply unroll, open and voila! It expands into a wonderful mattress. The quality of this mattress is excellent. It is soft enough that it keeps pressure off of my shoulders and hips and firm enough to support my back without causing pain in the morning. Medium Firm is accurate. There is a slight odor at first but it was gone completely within one week. I slept on it the first night but I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours to let it completely expand. That also allows it to air longer before covering it with sheets. It sleeps cool, for women with hot flashes and night sweats (been there) you need not worry. If you are considering a memory foam mattress, I would not hesitate to recommend this one. As a matter of fact, I have to several people.Read More
I was able to get out of bed w/o any back pain
I would recommend this this everyone who complains of back pain from sleeping on springs I only wished I had purchased this mattress a long time ago. It's awesome the best.Read More
Pure Comfort
This matress is wonderfully comfortable and truly is 14 inches thick. There was no foam smell and it is cushiony yet supportive. We love it. Nice heavy zip off cover.Read More
Great product for the price!
I wanted to wait a while before I put up my review of this bed. I wanted to sleep on it for a while and then make my review. And my review is.....this is great! I owned a higher end Tempurpedic at one time before, and wanted to get another bed but just didn't want to pay the outrageous prices of the Tempurpedic brandname. I searched Overstock for quite some time and finally came across this bed. I read the reviews and decided on purchasing it. The bed arrived quickly and well packaged. Like many of the reviews before me, it did have a strong chemical odor which did last for about two weeks, but that was to be expected. I unpackaged the bed and it rose to almost it's complete size within four hours. I did notice that the bed was a bit harder at first but that mellowed out and got better with the week following. This bed is great for someone who likes the memory foam mattresses but doesn't like them super stiff. It is a great balance of firm and soft. It is soft, but definitely not too soft. The bed is close to 15" when fully expanded. We actually use it on a platform bed and it works great! This is a great buy and well worth the money! Good job Overstock!Read More

Why did you choose this product?
Reviews and price! Fabulous!
I choose it because it was similar to what I am looking for in a Mattress. I never order a mattress on-line and I hope that I will be pleased on my decision.
I've been pricing memory foam mattresses and comparing different products. I knew I wanted a medium firm, not too hard and not too soft. I knew I didn't want the gel infused mattress, because I tested them at a brick and mortar store and I prefer a warm bed. I wanted a thicker mattress as compared to the 8 or 10 inch mattresses. This seemed like a good buy and it needed to be priced right to entice an online purchase from me. Also, I currently own a queen size bed and needed a larger mattress to share with my husband and pets.
I brought one from you a few years ago and needed a new one for another bedroom
Price, reviews
I have a foam mattress that I like now, but its too thin.
good reviews, good price

Great price and great reviews.
Based on reviews and testing similar at local shop. Time to upsize our bed and hoping this will be better than our current mattress that we bought 5 years ago and should have been replaced within a year of purchase.
had lots of good reviews and good price
Please note to the shipping company that we can only accept the delivery after 5pm please. Due to our work schedule. Thank you very much!

After testing mattresses at local mattress stores I looked at this site and it offered the mattress I wanted...especially at the outrageous price...and it will be delivered free of charge! Thank you!
Looking for a quality memory foam mattress as a gift for my son and his wife. They are in the process of purchasing a new home and my husband and I wanted to give them something that they really needed to give them a jump start!
I have an adjustable base, and want to know if a daily raising and lowering of the frame under thus mattress would damage it.
No, this mattress is solid memory foam. It is very well made and feels just like a heavy mattress.
how long can a memory foam mattress be in the box if its a presents
Hello shermanator, we recommend moving from package within 72 hours to maximize expansion. If not possible, after unwrapping allow 48 hours for product to return to original shape. Thanks for shopping with us.

When I buy this mattress is it just the mattress or does it come with the bottom buttress too
Hello nena, this is just the mattress. Have a great day!
Although it is just a mattress it is designed not to need a box spring foundation like a typical mattress would as it has internal support. Although we still used our old box springs with this the only benefit was to have a very high leveled bed.
Do you need a mattress box with this bed?
Hello ajv1982, a mattress box is not required for this foam mattress because it is already so thick. You can most certainly use one if you prefer to. Thank you for shopping with us!

Video to focus on plans to cut NC jobless benefits
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:59 a.m.
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — As a vote looms in the N.C. Legislature on a bill to cut benefits for jobless workers, a video being screened in Greensboro features workers worried about the proposal's impact.
The state AFL-CIO is holding a news conference on Tuesday for a viewing of "Voices of the Unemployed." John Crawford, UAW Local 5287 President at Thomas Built Buses, is a scheduled speaker. There's also a question-and-answer segment with a High Point worker whose story is included in the video.
The Senate Finance Committee approved a House bill that raises taxes on businesses but also cuts the maximum weekly benefits for jobless workers by one-third to $350. Lawmakers also would reduce the maximum number of benefit weeks from 26 to 20. Senate Republicans are set to debate the bill on Tuesday.

Akuma"Akuma'", the name of the evil warlord in Karateka (and many other games featuring a Japanese bad guy), is a Japanese word that roughly means 'devil'.
Akuma CastleThe Akuma Castle that appears at the beginning, seems to be inspired by the "Himeji Castle" that really exists in Japan, near Kyoto. Search on Google or Altavista Image Search for "Himeji Castle" and you'll find pictures of the real castle.
Apple II versionThe Apple II version of Karateka came on one single-sided floppy disk. However, by booting Karateka up on the opposite side (Side Two) - the game would still load, but now the game was upside down. A visual gag on the part of someone at Brøderbund most likely.
Atari 7800 versionFor the Atari 7800 version of Karateka, the end label on the cartridge was unusual in that it featured square corners instead of the usual rounded corners. This was one of the only (if not the only) games to do so.
CliffIt is possible to fall off the edge of the cliff in the first scene if you back into it.
EngineThe game's engine would be later used in Prince of Persia.

NASHVILLE – Gov. Bill Haslam today unveiled his plan to pursue real health care reform in the state.
Haslam announced that he will not expand TennCare rolls under the Affordable Care Act but instead is working to leverage the available federal dollars to purchase private health insurance for Tennesseans who would not otherwise have access to coverage.
"Tennessee has shown the nation how to produce true reform in education, based on students' results and educational outcome. We're beginning to do the same thing with reforming government service – again by measuring outcome and results rather than just years of service as a state employee," Haslam said. "I believe Tennessee can also be a model for what true health care reform looks like; reform that will take significant steps to save the state and the nation from the unsustainable path we are on now."
Haslam's plan would take on the critical issue of aligning incentives among users, payers and providers of health care. The plan would:
Leverage available federal dollars to purchase private health insurance for Tennesseans up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level who don't have access to health insurance, which would translate to 175,000 more insured Tennesseans;
Allow co-pays for those who can afford to pay something;
Include a definitive circuit-breaker or sunset of the plan that could only be renewed with the General Assembly's approval;
And reform the payment structure for providers so they are compensated for health outcomes, not just based on services performed.
"Hospitals and medical providers have put a lot of sincere effort into working with us toward payment reform," Haslam said. "I cannot emphasize enough how much I've been impressed with our hospitals' willingness to work with us. To succeed, we also need cooperation from the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS), and we can't get the same assurances from them at this point. Until we get those assurances, I cannot recommend that we move forward on this plan.
"All we're asking from Washington is to allow us to use the federal funds to provide coverage on the health care exchange in the same way many other Tennesseans will access coverage regardless of whether or not we expand. It's a reasonable ask," Haslam continued.
But as a result of the lack of clarity from HHS, the governor will not ask the General Assembly for approval to accept the Medicaid expansion federal funds as he continues to work for the flexibility needed to implement his plan.

The daughters of President Barack Obama, entertainers, a Nobel laureate and a girl baseball player all made Time's annual list of most influential teenagers, the magazine said on Monday.
First daughters Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13; Grammy-winning New Zealand singer Lorde, 17; and Nobel Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai, 17, the Pakistani education activist winner, were all on the unranked list dominated by 20 females.
Time said it compiled its list of 25 teens -- 29, counting accolades shared by siblings and partners -- by analyzing their social media following, business successes and cultural importance.
The youngest were Sasha Obama and fellow 13-year-old Mo'ne Davis, a...

Nik Wallenda Grand Canyon wirewalk is June 23
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 10:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 10:47 a.m.
Sarasota wirewalker Nik Wallenda told the "Today Show" on Monday that his June 23 Grand Canyon crossing, to be carried live by The Discovery Channel, will span roughly 1,500 feet across and above a Little Colorado River chasm located on Navajo Nation territory in Arizona.
"It's taller than the Empire State building," Wallenda said from the NBC studio in New York, "and it's something I've wanted to do my entire life."
The Empire State Building stretches 1,454 feet above the Manhattan skyline.
Ironically, it is the same location that French wirewalker Philippe Petit hoped to stage is own Grand Canyon crossing years ago.
Petit traversed the 1,368-foot roof-level tall Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974, but his Grand Canyon plans were never completed.

Walter G. Ross Professor and Chair
Department of Microbiology, Immunology, & Tropical Medicine
The George Washington University
President, Sabin Vaccine Institute
Title: Rescuing the Bottom Billion Through Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases
Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010
Time: 2:00 pm–3:00 pm
Location: Lipsett Amphitheater (inside Building 10/ Clinical Center on the NIH campus), Bethesda, Md.
Peter J. Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., Distinguished Research Professor and Chair, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine at The George Washington University and President of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, will present the John Ring LaMontagne Lecture on April 22, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm in the Lipsett Amphitheater. His talk is titled, "Rescuing the Bottom Billion Through Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases."
Dr. Hotez has devoted his research career to developing vaccines for parasitic diseases, with an emphasis on vaccines for hookworm and schistosomiasis. He is an internationally recognized leader in efforts to control neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), an array of parasitic and other chronic infections that disproportionately debilitate the world's "bottom billion"—subsistence farmers, urban poor and all those who live on less than a dollar a day. NTDs are largely to blame for keeping the bottom billion in poverty.
In his talk, Dr. Hotez will discuss cost-effective options and advances in combating NTDs and will outline the challenges that remain. He will describe some of the current projects of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, including initiatives aimed at developing vaccines against hookworm and schistosomiasis. If successful, such vaccines could do much to alleviate the burden of disease affecting the bottom billion.
The John Ring LaMontagne Memorial Lecture honors contributions to NIH and public health made by Dr. LaMontagne over the course of his 30-year career with NIAID. LaMontagne was the Institute's first influenza program officer and the director of NIAID's Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. He served as NIAID deputy director from 1998 until his untimely death in 2004. LaMontagne's distinguished leadership in the field of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases earned him international recognition, numerous professional accolades and widespread appreciation and admiration.

Confidential wrote: CA- least free according to their anti-tax, anti-labor, neoliberal definition of "personal freedom."
Quote: Contrary to popular perception, California not only taxes and regulates its economy more than most other states, it also aggressively interferes in the personal lives of its citizens. California simply needs to cut government spending. The budgetary categories most out of line with the rest of the country are administration, social services, environment and housing, and other. Labor laws are extremely strict, of course; for instance, California is one of only five states to mandate short-term disability insurance. Health-insurance coverage mandates add about 49 percent to the cost of premiums in the state. Eminent-domain reform has been cosmetic, and the states liability system almost reaches the abysmal quality of the Deep Souths. On personal freedoms, California does well on same-sex partnerships and marijuana, but it also has the most restrictive gun laws in the country, a highly restrictive policy regime for motorists, and smoking bans. The states civil asset-forfeiture regime is arguably the best in the country, apart from North Carolinas, which has only criminal forfeiture.
Policy Recommendations
Repeal some health-insurance mandated coverages, such as acupuncture, orthotics, IVF, home health care, dental anesthesia, and bone-mass measurement.
Cut state spending in the categories in which spending is well above national averages.
Relax labor laws to boost employment, such as repealing short-term disability and paid family leave mandates.
jakethesnake wrote: Confidential wrote: CA- least free according to their anti-tax, anti-labor, neoliberal definition of "personal freedom."
Do you disagree? CA passed, then revoked, a bill for allowing same-sex marriage. CA is regressive.
Just because you can walk down the street smoking a blunt and get a slap on the wrist doesn't give the state a free pass. Like I said the definitions seem to be subjective, but are fairly assessed.

redball wrote: jakethesnake wrote: You are forced pay for someone else's In-vitro fertilizations. What is your idea of freedom anyway?
My idea of freedom is having the option to make decisions about my family without an insurance company telling me that it's too expensive. It allows a level playing field where not only the rich are able to afford to have a child if they have fertility issues.

I had hopes with the Roses set two opener that something juicy would materialize, it being only the seventh time the band had played it at that point, and with the Island tour monster still fresh in the collective memory. It wasn't to be, but they did take the Simple for a long, spacey ride. Not the most engaging jam, but they more than made up for it with the Bathtub Gin.
Let me contextualize this a bit: I remember getting into Boston early on 11/27 after a long drive from Halifax, Nova Scotia (where I was in University at the time) and staying at a friends place who had just gotten the tapes from the UIC run. He put on the 11/9 Bathtub while he played the Ocarina of Time, which had also just come out (am I dating this ok?). It was overcast, cold, and we had just scored mail order tickets to all four nights at MSG. That Gin was smoking, confirming for me that the song was still the holy jam grail at this point in the band's history. Anyway fast-forward to the end of 11/29 and they delivered another gooey, glory-gem of a Gin, and I soaked up every minute. The YEM was icing on the cake, even if the encore was kind of anti-climactic for the end of tour.

Man....I tell you....Madison, WI is *THE* place to see Phish. This really cool movie theatre called the Barrymore. WOW!!!!!! WHAT A SHOW!!!!!!!
I was rendered completely speechless after the first set. I'll have to figure out some sort of setlist, something which I can't do right this sec.
First of all, the band is so much tighter than I ever remember them being. They really work together well. They have been working on new jams or something, because they took songs places I've never heard them go before. For example, Trey's solo in Divided Sky. I have NEVER heard him go off as insanely and for as long as he did at that show. He went places I never thought possible! Paige gave quite a contribution too on several tunes. Caverns has been sounding good lately. Oh...and there was a Suzy that never ended with solos and jams (I think I can hear when the jams are written and when they are improvised. I'm not positive, but I feel like I have some sort of sense of it from seeing them so many times.) like I've never heard in my life. I have NEVER danced with such intensity!!
All in all it was a great show. :-)

World Wildlife Fund and the actor were encouraging people to sign a petition urging Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to ban the trade and save African and Asian elephants from illegal poaching.
Although Thai law prohibits sales of African tusks in the kingdom, ivory from domesticated elephants can be traded legally.
Activists say the loophole encourages massive quantities of African ivory to be illegally imported to Thailand each year.
WWF quoted DiCaprio's appeal as warning that elephants and other species are being threatened by the demand for their parts.
"Whole populations are at risk of being wiped out if we don't take immediate action to shut down this illicit trade," it quoted him as saying.
The 38-year-old DiCaprio has long been an environmental activist and is on the WWF board. His most recent film was "Django Unchained" and he stars in the upcoming Baz Luhrmann remake of "The Great Gatsby."

Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are common conditions that cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. They affect joints and connective tissues around the body. Millions of people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis.
Arthritis means inflammation of a joint. A joint is where two or more bones meet. There are more than 100 different arthritis diseases. Rheumatic diseases include any condition that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Arthritis is usually chronic, which means that it is ongoing.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are more common in women than men. They are also often associated with old age. This is because the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, occurs more often in older adults. However, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect people of all ages.
The three most common forms of arthritis are:
Other forms of arthritis or related disorders include:
The cause of arthritis depends on the type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by the wear and tear of the joint over time or because of overuse. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma are caused by the body's immune system attacking the body's own tissues. Gout is caused by the buildup of crystals in the joints. Arthritis can be linked to genes. People with genetic marker HLA-B27 have a higher risk of ankylosing spondylitis. Many other forms of arthritis are idiopathic. This means that the cause is not known.
Some risk factors for arthritis that can't be avoided or changed include:
Risk factors that may be avoided or changed include:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each person. The most common symptoms include:
The symptoms of arthritis can be like other health conditions. Make sure to see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
The process starts with a medical history and a physical exam. Tests may also be done. These include blood tests such as:
Other tests may be done, such as:
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, your age, and your general health. It will also depend on how what type of arthritis you have, and how severe the condition is. A treatment plan is tailored to each person with his or her health care provider.
There is no cure for arthritis. The goal of treatment is often to limit pain and inflammation, and help ensure joint function. Treatment plans often use both short-term and long-term methods.
Short-term treatments include:
Long-term treatments include:
Arthritis treatment can include a team of health care providers, such as:
Because arthritis causes joints to degenerate over time, it can cause disability. It can cause pain and movement problems that cause a person to be less able to carry out normal daily activities and tasks.
Although there is no cure for arthritis, it is important to help keep joints functioning by reducing pain and inflammation. Work on a treatment plan with your health care provider that includes medication and therapy. Work on lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life. Lifestyle changes include:
If your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms, let your health care provider know.

A mother says she warned her daughter about staying with the man who may have killed her. Maurice Wilson is in the Edgefield County Jail on charges he stabbed his wife while her two children watched. News 12 has the latest from Edgefield.
Clean up crews are here cleaning up the stabbing scene. Investigators say it happened in this home Sunday night. They say a husband killed his wife. News 12 talked to the victim's mother who says she warned her daughter not to marry this man.
"She was a good hearted person," said Gwen Morgan.
Gwen Morgan remembers her 25-year-old daughter Gwendolyn Denise Wilson. Gwen found her daughter's stabbed body Monday. Denise's 9 and three-year-old sons watched the murder and met their grandmother at the door.
"I know it hurt him because it hurt me when I walked in and he's telling me I'm glad y'all came cause Maurice done killed my mom. And I walked in the house and she was laying in all the blood," Gwen said.
The boys say Maurice Wilson stabbed their mom, then cut the phone line and left town.
Wilson was caught in Laurnes County Monday evening and is now in the Edgefield County Jail for murder.
"I did speak with the chief investigator this morning and he told me more charges were coming," said Robbie Harter, Edgefield County Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's office hasn't been to this home for a domestic call before, but Gwen says Wilson hurt Denise in the past.
"I told her to stay away from Newberry, but she wouldn't do it," Gwen said.
The couple married four months ago. They were regulars at the County Line Store, Thelma Ouzts' last customers Saturday night.
"She got three pints of ice cream and a honey bun and he was standing over there looking at movies," Thelma said.
Thelma says she too warned Denise about Wilson.
"You say she'd talked about getting beat up by her husband before? She didn't have to, I saw it. I thought she was going to loose her eye, he beat her up," Thelma said.
As for the children, the 9-year-old and the three-year-old, their toys still sit in the yard. Their grandmother says she'll watch them now.
The preliminary autopsy report came back a few hours ago. It says Denise died from two stab wounds to the heart.

A state inmate who escaped from a community work center in Yazoo City was arrested Monday in Pine Bluff, Ark.
Tara Booth, a spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Corrections, said in a news release that authorities had been looking for Bryan Owens, 27, since he went missing from the Yazoo County Community Work Center on Sunday.
Owens was serving a 12-year sentence for burglary, vehicle theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon from Harrison County.
Booth said Owens and a woman were found sitting in a vehicle in a Walmart parking lot about 12:38 a.m. Monday by Pine Bluff police. The woman has not been identified.
Booth said Owens faces an additional 5-year sentence if convicted of escape.

What is the maximum file size, or maximum number of elements that a single drawing would be able to contain?
The program locked up when I tried to use a External Reference (used it as a block like was mentioned in a different topic) that had about 40 layers. However a XREF with only 20 layers seemed to work fine, but made the operations a bit laggy.

Stone Creek Charter School is expanding to Gypsum.
Gypsum Town Council members approved the special use permit to allow the charter school to open a new Gypsum campus, 5-2, at their Tuesday meeting, with Dick Mayne and Gary Lebo dissenting.
The dissent followed debates about the location and access of the school's future branch directly off U.S. Highway 6.
Stone Creek is Eagle County's only independent public charter school. Founded in Avon in 2006, it covers kindergarten through eighth grade and is based on a Core Knowledge curriculum. The school has a capacity of about 200 students and had more than 200 before circumstances forced it to move to Edwards last year, when enrollment dropped to 137. It is not governed by attendance boundaries.
Stone Creek Headmaster and Former Eagle County Schools Superintendent John Brendza said there is demand for a charter school in western Eagle County.
"I've been approached throughout many years by parents wanting a school of choice in the valley," he said. "We have some outstanding schools - the county school district has done an excellent job providing various programs and there's been a great deal of success there. With that said, however, parents have also been very interested in other opportunities for their children when they feel their children's' needs are not being met at a school."
Stone Creek's Gypsum branch will be at a site formerly owned by AmeriGas and currently occupied by IMPACT Ministries. That property and the adjacent one to the east - where the New America Charter High School is located - are both owned by Eagle Airport Commerce Center LLC, headed by Glenn Heelan.
Heelan has helped other schools get on their feet in the past, including the New America School, which will soon be moving due to a drop in enrollment. Heelan's company will essentially loan funds to Stone Creek by providing the property and site improvements up front.
The initial proposal before council restricted access to the school from Highway 6, forcing traffic to drive through the business parking lot of Heelan's other property to the east, off Red Table Drive.
"I think the school is good but I won't support it at this point on the sole reason of access," Mayor Steve Carver said prior to concessions by the developers and an executive session by the council members. "I won't have hundreds of cars driving through the business parking lot every day, I won't do that to a business."
In the final agreement, there will be no access to from the Red Table property - only Highway 6. The arrangement for that will have to be made with the Colorado Department of Transportation.
"There is not a community that's going to allow full access to a school site through a private parking lot," said Town Manager Jeff Shroll.
Council members were also concerned about the appearance of the school's modular building and a request by developers to hold off on paving its parking lot.
"We don't know if the school will be successful, and if we pave the lot and it doesn't work out, then we might have to rip out the pavement," Heelan said.
Council members agreed to give the school a year to see how enrollment (per-pupil funding) goes. By May 2013, developers are expected to return before council to hash out further site improvements and a timeline for them to be made.
"It's not about the facility we're bringing to the community, it's about the quality of education," Brendza said.

$3 million less in sale of a hotel in Ellenton
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 8:42 p.m.
ELLENTON - The 67-room Sleep Inn here has sold for $2.15 million, nearly $3 million less than it went for in 2006 at the height of the real estate boom.
Ellenton-based New Hampshire Partners LLC bought the property at 5605 18th St. E. from Vertical Assets Group of Ellenton LLC, a Sarasota company managed by Michael F. Ferro, records show.
Vertical assets paid $5.1 million for the hotel in March 2006.
New Hampshire Partners financed its purchase with a $2.13 million loan from First America Bank, records show.
Hotel sales have been fairly commonplace this year in the Southwest Florida real estate market.
In September, a Bradenton company sold the Best Western hotel on Cortez Road for $2.75 million, a relatively small loss from its purchase price last year.
Bradenton's Perfect Hospitality LLC sold the 49-room hotel at 2215 Cortez Road W. to Best Hospitality LLC, records show. The seller had paid $2.9 million for it in April 2011.
Despite a rebounding tourism industry, hotel owners have had a tough time in the wake of the Great Recession.
Because average room rates have remained depressed in some areas and costs stagnant, lenders have targeted a number of Southwest Florida lodging properties for foreclosure.
Last month, for example, Sarasota-based Sunny Enterprises of Florida LLC defaulted on a loan for $1.04 million loan against a 72-room hotel at 4800 N. Tamiami Trail.
The loan was originated by BB&T in April 2005 and sold to Summitbridge Credit Investments III earlier this year.

ANTIOCH -- In a move that preserves a 21-acre piece of hillside land on the western end of the city, leaders here narrowly decided late Tuesday night to deny a 60-unit housing development.
The council voted 3-2 to uphold a November decision by its planning commission and not grant a waiver on its hillside guidelines for The Pointe -- a proposed development by Seeno's Discovery Homes.
Mayor Pro Tem Mary Rocha and council members Gary Agopian and Monica Wilson voted to deny the project. Mayor Wade Harper and Councilman Tony Tiscareno voted for it.
Antioch put its hillside development ordinance in place in 1981 after eight years of input, with the city applying it to at least six projects over the past three decades.
The Pointe land was open space when Black Diamond Estates was built in 1996, but the City Council approved rezoning it to allow for development in 2005.
Rocha said it is a difficult decision given that generally an individual should be allowed to build on their own land, but the city has its rules in place.
"Under the circumstances, it's still very hard for me to go against our own policy, when it is an important piece that we worked on," she said. "I know that this is a hard message, but I was hoping to come to some agreement."
The subdivision of elevated executive-style homes, which would be an infill development in the area, would have had three terraced levels for scenic views and required about 104 feet of grading.
"These are move-up homes. They'll provide homes somewhere else in the community that are more affordable. And while the people have concerns, there's limited land left in Antioch," Albert Seeno Jr. said during Tuesday's meeting.
The meeting was a continuation of a lengthy hearing on the project in December, where residents in the neighboring Black Diamond Estates project and officials from Save Mount Diablo urged the council to vote against it.
At the council's request, Discovery officials held a pair of meetings this month with Black Diamond Estates residents to address concerns about grading, privacy concerns, a gate for the subdivision and an open space buffer between the two subdivisions.
After hearing about the meetings and that the Seenos were agreeable to removing the gate from the development, and that environmental documents showed there would not be a significant impact, Tiscareno said he felt comfortable approving the project.
"I thought it would be a benefit to the city and bring in jobs and revenue sources," Tiscareno said. "I feel it's a missed opportunity."
Proponents and opponents also raised concerns that a decision would set a precedent, either for allowing exemption on all hillside projects or that Antioch is unfriendly to development.
Discovery requested that the city amend its hillside guidelines because the city's General Plan would not have allowed development on about three-quarters of the land, which has slopes over 25 percent. The plans with more homes would make it consistent with surrounding developments, company officials said.
After the meeting, Seeno Jr. reiterated development is approved for the area but said these decisions "happen every now and then."
"Maybe they just don't want housing in Antioch," he said.

NEW YORK and CLEVELAND, April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Vertere® Skin Care, the first and only brand of skin care specifically created to improve the appearance of aging, hyperpigmentation and adult acne with one regimen for all skin tones, announced today the launch of its newest product – Refining Treatment Cleanser.
(Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140402/MN95077)
Refining Treatment Cleanser effectively addresses a significant challenge. Typically, cleansers designed to help improve the appearance of acne strip the skin of precious moisture which aggravates blemishes and wrinkles. Many cleansers designed for mature skins are often too rich for oilier and combination skins – especially those still experiencing breakouts.
Refining Treatment Cleanser is an exceptional composition that strikes that elusive balance. Skin is left feeling firm and soft while improving the appearance of blemishes due to its non-comedogenic formula, which includes 3.2 percent lactic acid, argan and baobab oils and more. Pores appear visibly diminished, "taking on an airbrushed appearance" with every use. True to Vertere's multitasking ethos, Refining Treatment Cleanser also removes non-waterproof eye makeup.
Vertere products blend luxurious textures with clinical performance to produce visible results in just days. Vertere is also non-toxic – it is paraben-free, petrolatum-free, mineral oil-free, hydroquinone-free, SLS-free, phthalate-free and more. Additionally, Vertere products are not tested on animals.
Refining Treatment Cleanser ($42) is available at www.vertereskincare.com and select retailers.
About Vertere® Skin Care
Vertere Skin Care was created by founder, Bethany Hilt, out of her frustration with layering multiple products to see results and her inability to find non-comedogenic anti-aging care. Vertere is the first and only brand of skin care specifically created to improve the appearance of aging, hyperpigmentation and adult acne with one regimen for all skin tones. Vertere's multifunctional, synergistic blends of proven, clinically active scientific and natural ingredients produce visible results rapidly without going through multiple steps, without layering multiple products and without breaking out as a result. Vertere uses multiple key ingredients at clinically proven levels rather than simply one 'star' ingredient or minimal concentrations. Vertere's customer test panel and customer testimonials report a visible improvement in the appearance of the skin within three days. For more information, visit www.vertereskincare.com.

GOP Infighting: A Boon for Senate Conservatives Fund
The civil war that engulfed the GOP this past fall proved a financial windfall for one group fanning conservative discontent with Republican leaders, as well as the candidates that group supports.
The Senate Conservatives Fund announced Friday that in the last three months of 2013 the group spent and its members donated a combined $2 million on behalf of the five Republican primary candidates it backs, including three who are challenging sitting U.S. senators.
The top recipient was Kentucky businessman Matt Bevin, who is running to unseat Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.). The Senate Conservatives Fund spent $535,611 on Mr. Bevin's behalf, while its donors contributed $430,383 to his campaign, according to numbers released by the group.
The financial support for Mr. Bevin included a six-figure advertising blitz against Mr. McConnell criticizing the Republican leader for brokering a deal with Senate Democrats to reopen the federal government after a stalemate over funding the new health law resulted in a partial shutdown in October.
Other beneficiaries of the fund's largesse included: Chris McDaniel, the Republican trying to oust Republican Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi; Milton Wolf, who is running against Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts; and candidates trying to win primaries in Louisiana and Nebraska.
The year of Republican infighting is proving lucrative for the Senate Conservatives Fund. By the end of November, the group had raised more than $6.8 million and spent more than $7.3 million, according to Federal Election Commission data. In the two years leading up to the 2012 election, the group raised $7.7 million and spent $3.5 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
While those totals represent an uptick for the fund, it may prove a drop in the bucket if other groups aligned with GOP leaders follow through on their promise to spend millions more supporting candidates like Mr. McConnell. The Senate Conservatives Fund ended November with a little more than $850,000 in the bank and months to go before the first competitive primary.
"The Republican establishment in Washington may spend hundreds of millions against conservative candidates this year, but the grassroots aren't going down without a fight," said Matt Hoskins, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund.

Jai Bhim Comrade: A Film Screening and Conversation with Anand Patwardhan
India China Institute and School of Media Studies at The New School invite you to a special event with Anand Patwardhan, India's leading documentary filmmaker featuring a screening of the award-winning film, Jai Bhim Comrade, and a conversation with Patwardhan. Nidhi Srinivas, associate professor of Nonprofit Management at Milano, The New School will chair a discussion following the event. Sumita Chakravarty, associate professor of Culture and Media, The New School, and Toral Gajarawala, assistant professor of English at NYU, and an expert on Dalit issues, will serve as discussants.
About Jai Bhim Comrade:For thousands of years India's Dalits were abhorred as "untouchables" denied education and treated as bonded labour. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo, won doctorates abroad and fought for the mancipation of his people. He drafted India's Constitution, led his followers to discard Hinduism for Buddhism. His legend still spreads through poetry and song. In 1997 a statue of Dr. Ambedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered, police opened fire killing 10. Vilas Ghogre, a leftist poet, hung himself in protest. Jai Bhim Comrade, shot over 14 years, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a subaltern tradition of reason that from the days of the Buddha, has fought superstition and religious bigotry.Reviews of the film are availalable on the film's website. Anand Patwardhan is India's leading documentary filmmaker. For over four decades his investigative documentaries have charted life in modern India, from the nature of its economic development to the power of nationalism and religious fundamentalism, and the struggles by the poor and the marginalized for justice. It has taken legal action, including a decision by India's Supreme Court, to prevent successive Indian governments from censoring his films and blocking them from being screened.

HONOLULU (January 2, 2013)--President Barack Obama was back in Hawaii Wednesday to resume his vacation after a tense, end-of-the-new-year standoff with Congress at the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff.
The president arrived early Wednesday morning, local time, after an overnight flight aboard Air Force One to rejoin his family for a holiday break after having returned to Washington following Christmas to deal with the unfinished business that threatened to throw the economy back into recession.
The House voted late Tuesday night on a package to avoid income tax increases for most Americans, allowing rates to rise on incomes exceeding $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples.
The wide-ranging deal, approved by the Senate earlier, delayed for two months billions in budget-wide cuts.
The White House had no immediate update on when Mr. Obama would receive and sign the bill.
