Rated 5 out of 5Â by drawstring fan No more squishing FOUND! After a long and fruitless search for pajamas with a drawstring waist in the pants that is TRULY a drawstring and not one added to an elastic waistband, here is the genuine article. Freedom from a squished waist all night is the goal and these wonderful pajamas fit the bill (or Bob or Joe or anybody) perfectly every time. I have been buying these from The Vermont Country Store for decades and LOVE them. May 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hulty Nice PJs Purchased these as a gift for a relative. Unfortunately, he needed size 3X which you do not offer. I returned them without being opened. Sorry. February 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by feathestonehaugh Nicely made pajamas, good-feeling material. That's it. April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Phoenix Newbie No Elastic! I bought two pair of these in different colors for my husband for Christmas. He likes the medium weight fabric & the fact that the waist is a true drawstring with no elastic. He says these are more comfortable than anything available in stores. January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Buyer`2 No shrinkage! It's been very difficult finding 100% cotton pajamas for my grandfather that won't shrink. This set fit fine and didn't turn into shrinky-dinks in the dryer. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by imagemaker classic pj's I looked for a pair of broad cloth navy pajamas all cotton and found a great pair from the Vermont Country Store. I am very happy with this product and reasonably priced! November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Figaro Just what I wanted! I did not know I wanted men's pajamas, but these are what I was looking for. The medium size gives me longer sleeves than a woman's pair. The cotton fabric under a cozy blanket and I have just the right amount of toastiness on these cooler California nights. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nut4travel The only PJ my Dad likes My father is fussy about his pajamas. Only will wear 100% cotton with button front and wants a drawstring waist. These are the only ones I can find that he likes. June 19, 2013

- Seasonal (14)
It's winter! Celebrate the season by making this cool door decoration with your Nick Jr. fan.
Watch all your favorite shows weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print the Door Sign templates on card stock or heavy weight paper. For a sturdier door sign, affix to a cardboard box before you begin cutting out all the pieces.

 We cut out the templates and then traced them onto foam sheets. We then glued the templates to the foam sheets after cutting.
Once the pieces are cut, attach the tabs together to form an oval, and then attach the characters and letters as shown. To have the characters and letters pop out, apply a small piece of foam to the back of each pop-out piece.
Punch holes where indicated. Thread string or yarn through the holes, leaving enough string at the top of the sign to create a loop to hang the sign from.

 Once your door sign dries, display it on a door or any place your child decides.

Road widening to start May 20
Published: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 11:54 p.m.
A project to widen Industrial Boulevard in Houma to three lanes between Grand Caillou and Denley roads will begin May 20.
Parish officials say the project may slow traffic, but if there are lane closures, construction crews will have flaggers on hand to direct traffic. The project should take about four months.
Along with drainage work, the plan aims to add a turning lane to aid motorists turning left onto Denley Road from Industrial Boulevard.

A Middletown woman has been charged in the severe beating of a 5-year-old girl in her case.
Police said Angela White, 57, was charged with child endangering after the child's 13-year-old brother admitted to assaulting the girl.
But officers said the boy later recanted, and now they're trying to determine who is responsible for injuring the girl.
Investigators said White didn't bring the girl to the hospital right away, and police weren't notified until a case worker called them from the hospital.
Neighbors said five children live with White, but it's not immediately clear what her relationship is to the injured girl.
Police have said only that White is the girl's guardian.
The girl remains in a medically induced coma at Children's Hospital.

The boo birds are expected to flock to Tuesday's City Council meeting, but it remains to be seen if they'll once again be allowed to perch in the balconies of the council chamber.
Council President Pat Kernighan said Friday that she expected the upstairs seating to remain open to the public Tuesday when the full council considers a contract for William Bratton, former chief of the New York and Los Angeles police departments.
However, city spokeswoman Karen Boyd said City Administrator Deanna Santana would likely discuss with council members whether to again close the balconies as a safety precaution.
Discussion of Bratton's consulting contract drew more than 100 demonstrators to Tuesday's meeting of the Public Safety Committee. Many of the demonstrators sat in the balconies and rained down boos and epithets on police officers and political opponents.
On several occasions, Councilman Noel Gallo asked police to escort out disruptive people from the balconies, although no one was forcibly removed.
"Tuesday night really did reinforce our concerns about public safety," Boyd said. City officials have said disruptive people in the balconies pose a potential threat to council members below and are more difficult for police to remove.
Oakland officials closed off the two upper sections of the council chamber in October after several meetings where heckling protesters halted proceedings.
The policy, which significantly reduced public seating, was opposed by unions, free-speech advocates and several council members.
The city reversed course last month, allowing spectators into the balconies for a debate about a potential dog park.
Councilman Larry Reid, who was council president last year when the balconies were closed, said he supported keeping them open on Tuesday. "You can't open them for some issues and not for others," he said.
Quan reiterates support for Bratton
Mayor Jean Quan is trying to rally City Council support for hiring Bratton, one of the nation's most decorated police chiefs, as a consultant for Oakland's beleaguered force.
In a letter addressed to council members Friday, Quan touted Bratton's record both in reducing crime and working with civil rights groups.
"Oakland residents and businesses deserve the best, and I support Chief (Howard) Jordan in his request to bring on one of the best advisers he could have," Quan wrote.
The council is scheduled to vote on a $250,000 contract for Bratton and two associates to help police design and implement strategies to reduce crime in California's most violent city.
Opponents have mobilized against Bratton, citing his support for giving police more latitude in stopping and searching potential suspects.
Support for Bratton on the City Council appeared to weaken on Tuesday amid vocal protests during a Public Safety Committee meeting. Council members Dan Kalb and Lynette Gibson McElhaney both questioned whether Bratton would be effective holding community meetings given likely protests.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan said she was awaiting more information before making up her mind.
Quan noted that while in Los Angeles, Bratton dealt with federal monitoring similar to what is in place in Oakland, and that complaints against the department filed with the ACLU dropped dramatically during his tenure. She also reiterated that no matter Bratton's advice, the city won't implement "zero-tolerance" policing policies.
"The goals of fighting crime and improving police relationships in our communities are not at odds with each other," Quan wrote. "I believe Bratton can help us improve the department on both fronts, but in the end, the responsibility for OPD policy is not his. It is Chief Jordan's and mine."
Sports center named after former mayor
When former Union City Mayor Mark Green delivered speeches during his nearly two decades in office, he often teased local sports fans by mentioning his favorite teams: the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Rams. Given his passionate fandom, it is fitting that just weeks after Green was termed out of office, his former colleagues have voted to name Union City's athletic facility after him.
When council members approved the center's new name at a Jan. 8 meeting, they noted Green's many accomplishments, especially his leadership in the drive to construct the building in 2007.
The center -- at 31224 Union City Blvd., on the western edge of the city -- is a state-of-the-art fitness facility with an aerobics room, locker rooms and a child care center. It also has a 12,000-square-foot gymnasium offering adult sports programs for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis and general fitness.
At the recent public meeting, Green wore a sweatshirt bearing the logo of his beloved Rams as he watched the City Council unanimously approve the center's renaming.
After the vote, he addressed new Mayor Carol Dutra-Vernaci and his former council colleagues, publicly thanking them for the honor.
Green, 59, served as mayor for 19 years, the longest continuous mayoral tenure in Union City's history.

KANSAS CITY, MO -- The Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball team continues to move up in the national rankings, as the Railsplitters jumped one spot to No. 11 in the NABC/Division II Men's Basketball Poll, which was revealed by officials on Tuesday afternoon. LMU moved to an unblemished 6-0 on the season after swiping a pair of South Atlantic Conference victories at Tusculum and Newberry this past week.
The Railsplitters opened the past week of competition with a trip to South Atlantic Conference foe Tusculum College on Wednesday evening, where they captured a commanding 83-70 win over the Pioneers in Greeneville, Tennessee. Lincoln Memorial established a double-digit advantage by the 15:12 mark of the second half and never led by fewer than eight points from that juncture en route to victory. LMU boasted a balanced scoring attack with four players notching double-figure scoring, headlined by Cam Carden's 17-point outburst.
Lincoln Memorial traveled to Newberry College on Sunday and found themselves in a dogfight with the Wolves. With 6:02 left on the game clock in the second half, the Railsplitters were facing a 12-point deficit but used some late-game heroics to lift their way to victory. Trailing by six with 1:47 to play, senior Wally Jones drilled a three to cut the deficit in half and Lorenza Ross knotted the game two possessions later with another three at the 38-second mark to send the game into overtime. In the OT, the two teams met at a 95-95 stalemate before Cam Carden drained a three-pointer with three seconds left to give LMU a 100-95 win on the road.
The early portion of the season has seen the Railsplitters boasting the characteristics with which have become a part of the culture en route to accruing a perfect 6-0 start. Lincoln Memorial is shooting at a highly-efficient 51.1% clip from the field and 43% from the three, while limiting their foes to only 38% from the floor and 24% from the three-point arc. The 'Splitters are outscoring their opponents by an average margin of 25.7 this season, while also holding an 11.5 rebounding margin.
Five players are currently averaging double-figure scoring for the Railsplitters this season, paced by senior Jake Troyli's average of 15.5 points per contest. The forward hailing from Largo, Florida has also reigned in 4.7 boards per game and shot at a 55% mark from the field (53% from three). He ranks second on the team with an average of 29.3 minutes played per game. The Railsplitters' front court has been bolstered by the return of preseason All-SAC First Team selection Vincent Bailey, as he is holding an average of 10 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
Senior Wally Jones is playing the best basketball of his career this season, as he is pouring in 13.2 points and four rebounds per game for the Railsplitters. He leads the team in three-point shooting with 15 makes in 32 attempts for a 47% mark. Lorenza Ross ranks third on the team in scoring at 12.2 per contest, highlighted by 49% shooting from the field and a 5-8 clip from long range. He is tied with Cam Carden for the team lead in assists with 19. Cam Carden has recorded 10.2 points per game with 10 made three-pointers to his credit.
Senior Dustin Craig is leading the Railsplitters in rebounding with 7.2 per game to go along with a scoring average of 7.5 per.
The Railsplitters will be back in action on Saturday, December 8th, as they travel to the University of Virginia-Wise for a nonconference matchup in Wise, Virginia. That game is set to tip 4 p.m.

Application launcher and much more.
Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.
Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.
Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

This has to be the greatest utility for the Mac EVER! I hate using Mac without it, it can do so much, but even as just an application launcher it's fantastic. Must have!
killer application
Apple should buy Blacktree Software for ten bazillion dollars just so this amazing app is never missing on any mac. ever.
If you're a fan of command lines and Macs, you should try Quicksilver. It's the best of both worlds. Watch your step on that learning curve, though.
the best app for the mac by far!
First thing I install after OS X. Period.
This is a must have. It is one of the applications that reminds why you switched to the Mac.
Just Use It!! No, you have to use it. Trust me.
I can say
"If QuickSilver couldn't work in Leopard, I would not buy it."
Seriously, if you have a Mac and you don't use this program there is something wrong with you. This is the only 3rd party utility that Apple has really tried to replace with an OS enhancement that they couldn't even come close. Dashboard totally killed Konfabulator. Spaces will kill the Virtual Desktop program (what is it called again). Time Machine will kill all Backup programs on mac today. But Spotlight vs. Quicksilver? Apple can't even come close to its incredibly perfect functionality. It can be as minimalist and/or powerful as you want.
Long live Quicksilver!!!
honestly, it is a gem. I can;t live with it now.
So fast to access all my preferred app.

Note: This appeared in the print-only TV Guide of The Marshall Independent.
�Jack the Giant Slayer� did not do very well opening weekend, earning only $28 million of the $200 million they need to break even.
On the other hand, nothing else that weekend did either and �Jack� wound up on top anyway. There have been indications it�s been picking up, perhaps due to word of mouth advertising.
I went to see it with two very uncritical movie reviewers, my six-year-old daughter and her best friend. I was glad it was on the marquee because nothing else looked suitable.
Well that and the fact that I do want my children exposed to fairy tales. When I was growing up we had Andrew Lang�s Red and Blue fairy books in the house (there are 12 in all). These were themselves taken and translated from other collections of European folk tales and edited for children. So they are already at least second hand.
�Jack� is like that, in that it is very loosely based on two stories involving guys named Jack who have a lot to do with giants. There�s �Jack and the Bean Stalk,� first published in 1807, and �Jack the Giant Killer,� earliest published version 1811.
Both of these, though they borrow heavily from mythology and the folk tales of Cornwall, are apparently early 19th century creations possibly written for a market that had already heard all the classical tales and wanted more.
Jack and the Beanstalk was first done on film in 1902, and has since been reinterpreted by Mickey Mouse (1947), Abbot and Costello (1952), Bugs Bunny (1955), The Three Stooges (1962) and Gene Kelly (1966) among others.
In 2001 Jim and Bryan Henson told �Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story� in a TV miniseries, revealing for the first time what a rotten scoundrel Jack was.
�Jack the Giant Killer� however appears to have been done on film only once before, in 1962.
In this latest interpretation, farm boy Jack (Nicholas Hoult) goes to town to sell his uncle�s horse because they are seriously broke. However our Jack is no simpleton and acquires the magic beans from a monk who was doing something or other with them in his laboratory and is on the run from the king�s guard.
Jack also meets the beautiful Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) who is wandering around the marketplace incognito because she wants to get to know the people she�s going to rule.
Isabelle�s father King Brahmwell (Ian McShane), loves his daughter deeply, but is nonetheless going to marry her off to Rodrick (Stanley Tucci) the nogoodnik prime minister she doesn�t love to secure the future of the kingdom.
Coincidentally they meet again when the Princess seeks shelter during a rainstorm in Jack�s humble cottage, which is soon whisked off into the sky by the magic beanstalk that grows from one of the beans that�s slipped through a crack in the floor.
Enter the King and his guard, led by stalwart and faithful Elmont (Ewan McGregor). Jack volunteers to join the rescue party going up the beanstalk to the land in the sky where the legendary giants dwell.
Unfortunately Roderick and his henchman (Ewen Bremner) are going too. Roderick it seems has possession of the crown the kings of Albion once used to control the giants the last time they came to the kingdom to serve Man (roasted, toasted, or raw).
Roderick wants to rule the giants and use them to conquer the kingdom. Why would he want to do that? He�s going to get it anyway when he marries Isabelle?
Roderick it seems, has wider ambitions.
The climbers meet the CGI giants. The giants want to know the way down. They find it. That�s how the war starts.
Of course you can guess how it�s going to wind up for Jack and the Princess, but there�s a lot of less predictable twists and turns before then.
Jack does in fact slay some giants. One in a manner right out of the tales, and one in a way which perfectly illustrates Chekov�s principle of hanging the gun on the wall in act one and using it by act four. Which of course I can�t tell you.
There�s something else in the ending I can�t tell you either, and this is truly original. Not to mention pretty funny. Probably even funnier if you�re English.
So hey, it�s really not bad and it doesn�t do serious damage to folklore. You could argue it adequately translates traditional stories into new media, thus showing it�s still a living tradition.
It�s not going to make film history but it�s not a bad way to spend an afternoon with the kids.
My junior partner in film criticism summed it up, �It was awesome!�

- Olympics: Americans Bode Miller, Ted Ligety fail to medal in super combined
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Olympic silver medalist Ivica Kostelic might have had a special advantage Friday in the slalom run of the super combined: his father created the hair-pulling course.
Ante Kostelic won the right to set the course after a lottery among those coaches whose countries had a skier ranked in the top 15.
No everyone smiled after the Croatian won the bid for the second consecutive Olympics because Ante Kostelic enjoys testing skiers through the gate-filled slalom.
Twelve of the 46 starters failed to successfully navigate the gates in slushy snow, adding to the treachery of the day.
Kostelic, the first alpine skier to win four Olympic silver medals, has heard the complaints from fellow skiers.
"His setting is old fashioned, the way the courses used to look like before the measuring was introduced into the World Cup," said Ivica, who won his second silver medal in the combined event.
"Course setters are like skiers -- some are gifted and some are not," said Ivica,
whose sister Janica retired with six Olympic medals.
Ivica Kostelic doesn't like dad's courses because of the family connection. Instead, he was trained by his father to handle the trying descents.
"In his courses, there are no accidental winners," Ivica Kostelic said. "You need to be a good skier to ski smart in a course like that."

SAN JOSE -- It is tough for San Jose State to know what to expect this week when it takes its first true trip to face Minnesota on Saturday.
The Golden Gophers (3-0) have question marks stretching from the health of their coach and several key players to the strength of their nonconference schedule.
One thing the Spartans know is that they will face a big, physical team with a power running game, qualities typically found in a Big Ten Conference opponent.
"I'm excited to go back to Big Ten country," SJSU coach Ron Caragher said. "We know it's going to be a physical game."
The status isn't known of Minnesota coach Jerry Kill, who suffered an epileptic seizure Saturday during a 29-12 home victory over Western Illinois. He was resting comfortably at home soon after the game.
"It's my understanding that he's in good health," Caragher said. "I know that was a scary incident. Certainly hope he's back in full health and on the opposite sideline. I hear great things about what he brings to the game."
SJSU is preparing to face an opponent it expects to be similar to Stanford, which overpowered the Spartans in a 34-13 victory Sept. 7. Caragher noted the Gophers' offensive linemen, who are big and athletic and help produce a strong running game that sets up play-action passes.
Minnesota has passed on 28 percent of its offensive plays. Quarterback Philip Nelson, whose status is unknown because of a hamstring injury, is the team's leading rusher. Running backs Rodrick Williams and David Cobb are averaging over 7 yards per carry while filling in for starter Donnell Kirkwood, who injured his ankle in the season opener but might be back this week.
Even if Nelson is healthy enough to play, backup Mitch Leidner is expected to get playing time. He played well in relief of Nelson on Saturday, completing 7 of 8 passes for 105 yards and rushing 17 times for 64 yards.
"I think those two quarterbacks are similar," Caragher said. "They're both good, they've been effective at moving the football. We certainly need to be prepared for both."
This matchup has been pointed to as Minnesota's first true test this season. The Gophers opened with wins over UNLV and New Mexico State -- teams near the bottom of the Football Bowl Subdivision -- before beating the Football Championship Subdivision's Western Illinois.
Against UNLV, Minnesota didn't take its first lead until the final seconds of the first half and benefited from two special-teams touchdowns and a defensive score. In the win over New Mexico State, Marcus Jones had a punt return touchdown (he also returned a kickoff for a score against UNLV), and the Gophers scored on defense again.
"I'm not into statistics and fancy numbers," Caragher said. "I just want the offense to execute. I think we've been close on a few additional big plays in both games. I think once we get those it'll be real exciting for our team. I'm confident we will. Things will click. It's just a matter of when."

Two people were in serious condition after a two-car crash on Monday afternoon in Goshen Township.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Angela Hartke, 31, of Goshen, was flown to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Michael Marshall, 26, of Goshen, was taken to Bethesda North Hospital following the crash, which happened about 3 p.m. at the corner of Goshen and Cedarville roads.
Investigators said Hartke failed to yield at a stop sign while driving north on Goshen Road and was struck by Marshall's minivan, which was headed east on Cedarville Road. Authorities are investigating the crash.

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office said prosecutors will not file charges against two men who allegedly kidnapped a woman and forced her to undergo an exorcism, authorities said.
According to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, a woman was kidnapped Saturday from north Stockton. She was then taken to a Bay Area church, because her estranged husband and son believed she was possessed by demons, deputies said.
Later that day, authorities arrested Jose Magana-Farias, 42, and Victor Farias, 20, on suspicion of kidnapping, false imprisonment by violence and conspiracy to commit a crime. The bizarre case attracted widespread attention across the country.
On Thursday, Deputy District Attorney Robert Himelblau said the men would not be charged, but he declined to say why.
"We don't usually discuss why we file charges or decline to file charges, and we're not going to do it now just because it seemed to capture the imagination of the press," Himelblau said.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents
|The Cavendish-Bentinck Me... >
|Camp Commandant Hoess's d... >>
1. The Bischoff document
135.Gray J says at 7.106 that:--
"Irving dismissed several of the allegedly incriminating documents as unauthentic if not downright forgeries."
136.Gray J is, however, wrong. As Irving emphasized in his closing speech, he challenged the authenticity of only one document, the Bischoff document.
137.Gray J is also seriously in error when he says that the grounds for Irving's challenge to the authenticity of the Bischoff document rested:--
"on the inaccurate designation of the rank of the addressee of the letter, General Kammler, which omitted the distinctive symbol used by the Nazis for members of the SS."
138.This was not even a ground, let alone the ground, upon which Irving relied. The grounds were listed clearly in Irving's written submissions to Gray J of 21 March, 2000 (submitted at the Court's request):--
- "(i) Bischoff letter, 28 June, 1943, on crematorium capacity at Auschwitz. The integrity of this document is challenged on the following grounds:--
- (a)Letter register number ("31550 Pe. /Ne.-") lacks the year (/43/")
- (b)Letter register number has a secretary or typist working for the man who dictated the letter (Jenisch) whose initials ("/Ne.") are not found on any of the other 58,000 documents surviving in the Auschwitz Construction Office archives.
- (c)The rank of Dr. Kammler is given wrongly: SS-BrigadeFuehrer und Generalmajor instead of: SS-BrigadeFuehrer und Generalrnajor der Waffen SS. Such an error is not found on any other genuine document whatever.
- (d)The reference number "31550" appears to have been typed in at a later date, possibly after somebody ascertained a suitable in sequence number to give to the fake document.
- (e)The handling figures which this document gives for Crematorium II do not tally with the specifications provided by the manufacturers, Topf & Co. A letter cited by Jean-Claude Pressac from the Topf archives gives a top rate of 800 per day for Crematorium II and III
- (f)Furthermore, the document refers to some crematoria which were at that time shut down, and to others that were due to be taken out of commission. Crematorium II was in service from March 15 to 24 and July 18 to December 31, in. 1943; Crematorium III from June 25 to December 31; Crematorium IV from March 22 to May ICI Crematorium II and IV were apparently 'down' at the date of the alleged document; and Crematorium I was taken right out of service soon after for conversion to an air raid shelter."

South Carolina's Patrol Board is requiring a curfew for 1,000 of the state's child sex offenders. State officers will make phone calls and check houses to make sure this happens. But that's only 17 percent of the state's sex offenders. What about the rest? News 12 is on your side to find out if a sex-offender curfew will really make trick-or-treating safer.
4-year-old Audrey Bridges is trying on her Halloween costume and brushing up on her most important line.
"Trick or treat," Audrey said.
While candy is Audrey's biggest concern, her mom Nicole worries about safety.
"I'm a very protective parent, very protective," Nicole said.
This holiday, 1,000 child sex offenders on parole will be required to stay inside from 5pm-midnight. They can't turn on their porch lights or hand out candy.
"I'm glad they're doing things to take precautions, but I don't think it can help in every situation," Nicole said.
And it won't. Aiken County has about 200 sex offenders who aren't on parole. Who's watching them?
Sheriff Michael Hunt says he will not make any special checks on sex offenders Halloween night, but he will continue his random checks throughout the year.
Parents, you can do your own homework and find sex offenders on your trick-or-treat route online.
Sheriff Hunt says with all the new technology, parents already have what they need the most, their head to think with, eyes to look out and hands to walk their trick-or-treaters down the street.
But Sheriff Hunt does think the state's new rule will help.
"Anytime we can do a good proactive operation on trying to keep up with our sex offenders and know where they are, we can't go wrong," Sheriff Hunt said.
Bottom line, good parenting is the best way to have a happy Halloween.

OAKLAND -- In her decades of advocacy for death row inmates, Sandra Coke zigzagged the Deep South collecting the stories of teenagers facing the death penalty. She got to know inmates on California's death row. In some cases, past and present colleagues say, her intimate interviews laid the foundation for obtaining new trials for convicts.
In a tragic twist, Coke may herself have become a victim of homicide.
Authorities on Tuesday announced that the body of a woman found last week near a Vacaville park was that of Coke, the missing federal defense investigator. Police would not say how she died or offer any more information on a possible link between her death and 56-year-old Randy Alana, a violent sex offender whom she once dated -- and a person of interest in the case, according to police.
"It's been real heartbreaking," said Bryan Stevenson, director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama, where Coke worked in the mid-1990s. "She was just a wonderful person and skilled and committed advocate. It's a terrible, terrible loss."
Coke, 50, spent decades working on behalf of death row inmates, her colleagues say. Beginning in the 1990s, she worked for the California Appellate Project, the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama and her own private investigation office. She was currently working for the Office of the Federal Defender in the Eastern District of California in Sacramento, where she helped overturn a wrongfully obtained murder conviction in Sacramento County in 2001, according to federal defender Heather Williams.
Coke came to Alabama in 1995, a time when juveniles could be put to death for crimes, and when the juvenile death row population, at 16 inmates, was the largest in the nation, Stevenson said. Her work collecting school records and interviewing family and friends uncovered that most of the juveniles suffered traumatic childhoods, evidence not presented during trial, he said.
It was Coke's gentle way of interviewing inmates and their families that Stevenson remembers most.
"She had a wonderful way of endearing people to her and persuading people to talk to her about difficult things," Stevenson said.
Coke was last seen by her 15-year-old daughter about 8:30 p.m. Aug. 4 after leaving their home in the 600 block of Aileen Street in North Oakland, reportedly to meet with someone with information about the family's missing dog. Later that night, Coke had been seen with Alana, a high-risk sex offender with a lengthy criminal history whom she dated some 20 years ago, police have said.
Sources said that video has been recovered showing Coke's car crossing the Carquinez Bridge after her disappearance. Coke's car was subsequently found in a West Oakland parking lot, and one of her cellphones was found in Richmond last week.
A massive search unfolded in Solano County, beginning at the Solano County fairgrounds in Vallejo late Thursday and Lagoon Valley Park near Vacaville on Friday, where her body was found.
Alana has been in custody on a parole violation since Aug. 6, and police will say only that he is a person of interest in her disappearance. He has not yet been named a suspect or charged in Coke's death.
Alana is a registered sex offender and has convictions for voluntary manslaughter, rape and kidnapping.
On Tuesday afternoon, Coke's family released a statement thanking law enforcement, the public and others for helping in the search.
"The Coke family is devastated by the loss of our beloved Sandra," the statement read. "She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and auntie, and a shining light in our family; her good cheer, easy laugh and generous hugs will be missed.
"Those of us who were privileged to know Sandra will remember her as an unusually kind, generous and big-hearted person. She passionately devoted her professional life to helping the poor and those who endured difficult childhoods. All of us will miss Sandra's beautiful, giving spirit."
The family also asked for privacy to mourn and thanked friends for creating a fund to provide for her daughter's care and education. Donations to that fund can be made at www.sandracokefund.org.

The Main Street stage was the focal point for a large camouflage-clad audience November 24 in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Packed shoulder-to-shoulder, the crowd swelled throughout the day as 62 competitive duck callers from across the United States competed in the Super Bowl of the duck calling world—the 77th Annual World's Championship Duck Calling Contest. For the second time in three years, Brad Allen of Judsonia, Arkansas, hoisted the huge trophy above his head after claiming the title of World Duck Calling Champion.
After taking top honors in 2010 and finishing as second runner-up in 2011, Allen returned to Main Street poised, confident, and equipped with a crisp contest routine that he had honed during countless hours of practice. Once again, he had his sights set on the top prize. The competitive juices were flowing.
"People keep asking, 'Which one felt better?' but both wins were great," the 39-year-old Allen said. "The first was so emotional—to finally get there after 10 tries in 12 years and they hand you the trophy. This win was a competition issue, and I was more fired up."
"It's the history and the tradition that I enjoy," Allen added. "Seeing some of those names on the list of winners, like Chick Major and Butch Richenback, I'm just honored to see my name on that list—let alone twice."
The 1936 World Duck Calling Champion was awarded a new hunting jacket, worth about $6. As the contest grew, so did the prize package, now worth more than $15,000 in cash and other awards. With the larger purse, the competition has intensified and, as the contest plays out throughout the day, bystanders witness both excitement and disappointment.
"The contestants take so much pride in blowing on that stage on Main Street," said Marty Simpson, rules committee chairman for the 2012 World's Championship Duck Calling Contest. "I am back in the contestants' trailer, so I get to see them all before they come out. They are nervous and many try to stay busy cleaning their calls. They know there is a crowd out there and this is the biggest stage in our sport. It's a cool thing to see."
The field of competitors was cut to 33 following the completion of the first round. Seventeen callers remained after the second round. Each of finalists then performed a third 90-second routine. After scores were totaled, a six-way call-off was required to decide the championship.
His Rich-N-Tone Calls (RNT) cap pulled down low over his brow during the final round, Allen maintained a consistent, high-quality performance that separated him from the rest of the field. David St. John of Conway, Arkansas, claimed runner-up honors, while Rob Bevins of Belle Plaine, Iowa, was third, and Jonathan Mortin of Trumann, Arkansas, finished fourth.
The road to becoming a world duck calling champion began back in 1988, when Allen's father took him to Stuttgart's Wings Over the Prairie Festival for the first time. Allen said that he had no intention of ever competing. Rather, it just became a family tradition to attend.
"Back in 1998 I tried to qualify and didn't make it," Allen said. "After that, I only missed one year and really focused on my calling. My duck season doesn't last just 60 days--it lasts all year because I am practicing and competing."
By rule, Allen has one more title to win before he is no longer eligible to compete. He said he understands that becoming a three-time champion is a lofty goal, but will continue pushing for that rare trifecta. He said he knows the caliber of callers is improving and this year's competitors will refine their routines and be even better in 2013. While he plans to compete again next year, for the moment, Allen is relishing in this year's victory.
"I am going to keep my nose to the grindstone and work hard at it," Allen said. "The best part of the contest in general is looking at the other competitors and past winners--these are the biggest names and legends in this business. To see my name on that list is humbling. I like to think that when I retire and I'm washed up, someone will look at that list of winners and see my name on it."

Search and rescue teams on Thursday continued looking for a 28-year-old male hiker who went missing in Desolation Wilderness near the Velma Lakes area.
Nathan Spearing left Friday around noon from the Eagle Falls trailhead in Emerald Bay. According to El Dorado County Sheriff's Deputy Damian Frisby, Spearing was hiking alone and planned to return on Tuesday.
On Tuesday night, the sheriff's office received a call from one of Spearing's roommates advising them that Spearing had still not returned. Search and rescue teams were dispatched early the next morning to search for him, but as of Thursday at 1:30 p.m., there were no signs of him, Frisby said.
On Thursday, California Emergency Management Agency forces augmented search efforts along with a California Army National Guard helicopter and two helicopters from the Placer County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol.
"When it comes down to it, you have to look in every nook and cranny. We've covered a lot of ground by air, but there's still a lot more to cover," Frisby said.
Rachel Barker, a friend of Spearing, said she was the last person to see him before he entered the wilderness on Friday. She said he arrived in Tahoe City about two weeks ago from Alaska where he had guide experience.
"He spent a lot of time in the woods in Alaska. So when he decided to go hiking alone, it wasn't anything out of the norm. We're just really hoping that we'll find him today," Barker said.
Barker described Spearing as about 5 foot, 9 inches tall, with a slight build and long, brown hair that would probably be tied in a ponytail.
The search for Spearing is being conducted with personnel and equipment from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Unit with the assistance of: Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue, Tahoe Back Country Ski Patrol, Bay Area Mountain Rescue, Monterey Mountain Rescue, California Rescue Dog Association, Placer County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, Douglas County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, Alpine County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, Amador County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, Calaveras County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, and the Monterey County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue. Sixty personnel signed in on Thursday for the search and rescue efforts according to El Dorado County Deputy Sheriff Greg Almos.

This article is part of PharmTech's supplement "Bioprocessing and Sterile Manufacturing 2010."
Products and processesAlmost 48% of respondents work for companies that produce biopharmaceuticals exclusively; the remaining 52% work for companies that produce both small-molecule drugs and biopharmaceuticals (see Figure 1). Twenty-five percent of respondents just entered the biopharmaceutical space in 2009, and 56% of all respondents report that their companies increased their biomanufacturing capacity within the past year.
There was a clear pattern, in terms of the revenue levels of companies adding biopharmaceutical capacity. About a quarter of those adding capacity work for companies with annual revenues under $250 million, suggesting that these small-cap companies are late-stage biotech startups installing capacity for their first few products. The percentages dip down among the mid-cap companies and then rises again, to about 27% of respondents from large-cap companies with annual revenues in excess of $10 billion adding capacity. These numbers may well reflect capacity acquired through this year s megamergers.
Production challenges
Process development and scale-up were the two largest challenges confronting manufacturers of cells-for-tissue and cell-based therapies, with about 45% reporting difficulty with each of these two aspects. Other challenges included formulation (confronting a little over 40% of respondents), followed by stability, regulatory, and cost issues for about 30% of respondents each.
Vaccine manufacturers prefer cell-to egg-based production systems about 2 to 1, and 30% of those using egg-based systems plan on changing to cell-based systems. Those who don't plan to switch cite higher product yields and lower costs as reasons. However, almost 70% say they'd consider moving to an egg-based system if the costs of retrofitting an egg-based operation to accommodate a cell-based process were sufficiently low.

VIX Sounds the All-Clear
Keep calm and carry on: That was the message from the "fear gauge" this week.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index saw its biggest jump since 2011 Monday–but by Wednesday, the VIX had undone 88% of that spike. It set a few related volume records in the process.
Monday's move "was the initial test of this new low-volatility period," said Jim Strugger, derivatives strategist at MKM Partners. "Now it's certainly gotten over that first hurdle."
The VIX dropped 2.14 points, or 13%, to 14.73 Wednesday afternoon, extending a two-day slide to 4.26 points, or 22%. That drop comes as stocks recover from a one-day shock Monday that sent the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index down 1.8% and the VIX up 34%, notching its largest one-day percentage gain since August 2011. The S&P 500 was up 1.3% Wednesday.
The VIX is calculated from the prices investors are willing to pay for protective options tied to the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. It tends to rise as stocks fall.
"Monday's move seemed extreme relative to the size of the S&P move lower, and we saw that as a red flag that a pullback could be just as quick," said Ryan Detrick, chief technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "And the past two days, it just imploded back toward where it started."
The VIX has jumped between 32% and 36% six times over the past 22 years. In those instances, the S&P 500 averaged a 4.9% move lower, according to a Schaeffer's study. When the VIX soared 35% in August 2011, the S&P slipped 4.5%.
While the VIX surge Monday was its biggest move in 18 months, the index finished 8.2% below its long-term average of 20.68. A reading below 20 is indicative of relative calm. The index averaged a reading of 27.71 from 2008 through 2011.
By Wednesday, the VIX was back within 7.2% of its average of 13.73 this year.
But the brief jump in volatility sparked an onslaught of trading in VIX products this week. On Monday, volume in VIX futures reached a new record, with 302,278 contracts exchanging hands, according to CBOE Holdings Inc. data. Meanwhile, Tuesday, trading in VIX options jumped to about 1.39 million contracts, about 14% above the prior one-day record notched Sept. 11, 2012.
As the VIX continued to slide Wednesday, VIX options trading volume mellowed. Nearly 698,000 contracts had changed hands, about half Tuesday's volume.
Meanwhile, the most popular new VIX options position Tuesday looks set to cash in with the continued fall Wednesday. April 16 "put" options, which look for the index to drop below that level to profit, saw the largest increase in the number of contracts outstanding after Tuesday's trading, with 27,049 new contracts.
Those contracts cost $1.44 each Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, they were selling for about $1.85, a 28% gain.

Woodland's Pinho expects to play vs. Seymour
Less than an hour after the Woodland High football team dropped the Naugatuck Valley League championship game to Ansonia, 48-7, on Wednesday night, the Hawks received some good news.
The Hawks' team captain, two-way starter Jack Pinho, who was taken to Waterbury Hospital in the first half after suffering a deep cut on his left hand, was released from the hospital a few hours later.
In a text message to Woodland head coach Tim Shea after the game, Pinho noted that he was OK.
"Jack said he should be good to go on Wednesday for Seymour and that I'll see you in school," said Shea.
Woodland (9-2) plays at Seymour (6-4) at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving eve.
Pinho was injured when he attempted to catch a pass, which wound up being intercepted by Ansonia defensive back Jai'Quan McKnight.
"My hand caught on Jai'Quan's facemask, and one finger went one way and the other went another," recalled Pinho on Thursday afternoon after school. "The webbing of my glove split down the middle. I thought I just had jammed it. I didn't realize how bad it was until I got to the sideline."
While along the sideline, Woodland athletic trainer Catie Moulton, of Advanced Physical Therapy, attended to Pinho immediately, but soon realized that he needed to be evaluated at the hospital.
"I didn't want to leave the game, but our trainer told me that I had to," said Pinho. "I understood. Catie is great. Something like that has never happened before. It was more emotional than physical. It was aggravating knowing that I couldn't continue in the game."
Pinho said that although he had some discomfort, he was told at the hospital that he sustained no nerve damage and didn't have any broken bones. He received only three stitches for the gash.
Pinho expects to see a hand specialist today, but is hopeful that there will be no lingering effects.
"Once I got to the hospital, X-rays were taken right away," said Pinho. "It didn't take too long. The doctor gave me all positive news. I got it into my head that I would be OK. The next few days I will be running and stay in shape and get ready for next week."
As for the loss to Ansonia, Pinho said his teammates will be resilient.
"We always come back strong," said Pinho. "Days like this are always rough when you look at the game films. You need to take criticism and take it the right way rather than the wrong way. We know that this game does not really affect us (in the state playoff rankings). It would have been nice to win and to have one of those championships back. We can't let it affect us from going forward."
Woodland won back-to-back NVL titles in 2004 and 2005, the same years the Hawks won the Class SS crowns.
"The kids will have Friday off and be back to practice on Saturday and Sunday," said Shea. "I'll assume that he'll be ready by Saturday."

President Barack Obama will visit a Walmart store in Mountain View on Friday to talk about the importance of energy efficiency, a White House official said Tuesday.
The president arrives in Silicon Valley on Thursday to do two fundraisers benefiting the Democratic National Committee. One is an exclusive tech round table for 20 -- at $32,400 per head -- at the Los Altos home of 23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki. The other is a bigger event at the Mountain View headquarters of Y Combinator, co-hosted by company president Sam Altman and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, for which tickets cost from $1,000 to $32,400 per head.
Further details on the Friday event in Mountain View will come soon, the White House said.
"We are very excited," Walmart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said Tuesday. But she didn't elaborate on details of the presidential visit.
Walmart -- the retail giant that employs 1.3 million Americans but has drawn fire for squeezing out smaller businesses, offering meager pay and opposing labor unions -- has set a goal of being powered by 100 percent renewable energy sources.
"Our buildings represent the largest piece of our carbon footprint that we directly control," the company's website says. "From lighting and water conservation to refrigeration systems and building materials, we view our facilities as laboratories of sustainability."
The company was a leader in adopting energy-efficient LED lighting; installing "secondary loop refrigeration" that saves energy, prevents leakage and cuts greenhouse gas emissions; and using fly ash -- a byproduct of coal-fired electrical generation -- and slag from steel manufacturing in its building materials.

Basic Black
The website includes past shows as video or audio podcasts, and scrolling through the archives, I see lots of programs I'll be looking at soon, because the topics and guest lists are of the sort that are rare on U.S. television: thoughtful conversations with artists and intellectuals. A roundtable on black theatre in Boston. Poets Elizabeth Alexander and Major Jackson. The great dancer Bill T. Jones. Anna Deavere Smith. Sweet Honey in the Rock. Patricia Williams. Wole Soyinka.
And lots more.

Dutch Agendia raises $65m
01.06.2012 - Cancer diagnostics specialist Agendia NV closed a $65m private round of equity financing.
Amsterdam – The Dutch company will use the funds to expand commercialisation of their current breast cancer suite of tests, as well as for development of the personalised medicine pipeline, announced CEO David Macdonald. "The support we have received in this round of financing is a strong reflection of our recent growth and confidence in the commercialisation of our product pipeline in the future", he added.
The financing round was led by the Swiss drug development company Debiopharm Group, with significant support from all of Agendia's current investors, including The Van Herk Group, ING Corporate Investments, Breedinvest and Gilde Healthcare. Korys, the Colruyt family office, was among the new investors.
Agendia's Symphony suite of breast cancer products is based on the analysis of hundreds of genes in a patient's breast tumour biology It is currently on the market in the US and Europe and includes several staging, subtyping, recurrence and therapy selection assays. Together, these tests might help physicians determine a patient's individual risk for metastasis, which patients will benefit from chemo, hormonal, or combination therapy, and which patients do not require these treatments and can instead be treated with other less arduous and less costly methods. "Agendia will support genuine win-win strategies and facilitate the reduction of the gap between the diagnostic and the drug world," said Thierry Mauvernay, Delegate of the Board of Debiopharm.
Agendia was founded in 2003 as a spin-off from The Netherlands Cancer Institute and the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital in Amsterdam, for the purposes of pursuing commercialisation of molecular diagnostics using DNA microarray technology for cancer diagnosis and drug development.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/dutch-agendia-raises-65m.html

More Fed Stimulus On the Way; Stocks Rise
While the Fed's bond-buying plan for 2013 is essentially what everyone expected, the central bank offered one surprise by offering specific thresholds that will help it determine when to start tightening policy.
The Fed said it will start buying $45 billion in long-dated Treasurys a month, a move that replaces the expiring "Operation Twist" program and will expand the size of its balance sheet. The central bank will also continue buying $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month until the labor market sees substantial improvement.
Stocks rose to session highs shortly after the Fed's release. The Dow is up 62 points, or 0.5%, to 13331, led higher by DuPont Hewlett-Packard and General Electric. The blue-chip average is on pace for its sixth-straight day of gains.
The S&P 500 is up 0.5% at 1434, with financial and telecom stocks pacing the gains. The Nasdaq Comp is fractionally higher.
Treasurys briefly moved higher before recently giving up gains and moving lower. Dow Jones' Min Zeng has the details:
Fed did QE4 as many expected with the same size of Treasury debt buying as Twist. Bond prices briefly popped on that, yet quickly flipped to losses as stocks ticked up. The action shows when Fed stimulus lifts risk appetite, flight out of safe havens will overwhelm buying from bond bulls. Besides, more QE adds to inflation risk in longer term and the 30-year bond is the punching bag for now. The 10-year note is 8/32 lower in price, yielding 1.676% compared to 1.652% right before the Fed release.
The one shift in strategy that potentially caught some by surprise is the Fed put specific inflation and employment targets on when it will start tightening policy.
The Fed kept short-term rates near zero, and they will stay this low as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5% and inflation stays under 2.5%, the Fed said.
"Of special interest will be how hard the Fed keeps its foot on the bond-buying pedal as it approaches its unemployment target," says Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. "Will they ease up on the volume of bond purchases when the unemployment rate stands at 6.9% compared to today's 7.7%?"

Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
I have an idea, send it to Marko first and if it's cool with him, he can ship it with my knife.
No big deal, Paul. I'll pass it on when it gets here.
The sigma 1.2 is drying in preparation for shipment to Marko.
I really liked the stone. it reminded me of the bester 1.2, but faster. I would use this stone as my go to in that grit range.
has anybody made any new experience in the meantime?

I'm looking for individuals who have great knife (and sharpening/stropping) skills who like to record themselves (via digital video camera) cutting up food products and posting these videos on YouTube.
This person must label all videos with my name and talk up my products like they're the best ever.
It's preferable that the candidate(s) be a prolific poster on every kitchen knife (related) forum on the internet and that they post all videos of my knives in use on all of these forums.
I want my knives (and products) to be shown and talked about so that tons of people will buy them.
I'll give this person (or persons) at least a FREE knife with all the trimmings. I think that I can spare 1 gyuto or 1 suji and some maybe some sharpening/honing equipment for each shill.
So who will step up?

1. The weather
Nobody misses the weather! Damp, drizzly, and depressing, the Irish weather would break your heart. As for trying to get clothes dry ... sure as soon as you put them out on the line you're guaranteed it'll be pouring within the hour.
2. Talking about the weather
We constantly feel the need to tell the person next to us what the weather's like. Plus we do nothing but give out and then when it is sunny, we still complain, saying 'Well as long as it's not the only summer we get.'
3. Dodging mass
For many people Sunday mornings are when we're at our most tactful. Strange illnesses befall us, we gain a sudden capacity to 'sleep' until the afternoon, or 'urgent' errands need to be run.
From the standard to the innovative, many the excuse has been used to not have to go to mass. But when we're abroad there's the peacefulness of not having Mammy kicking our hungover head out of the bed.
4. Coppers
It's always packed, it's expensive, you lose everyone, and it leaves you broke and tired for about a week until; ironically, you end up in Coppers again. It's a vicious cycle.
5. Negativity
'Ah sure the country's bollixed'... We just can't allow ourselves be happy. If it's not one thing it's another. Why does everyone respond to 'How are you?' with 'I'm not too bad'? No one ever feels great, or even good for that matter.
6. Living on a island
It costs a bomb to ship anything into or out of Ireland, you can't drive out of the country, the rest of Europe forgets about us, and we're constantly being eroded until eventually one day there'll be no Ireland left!
7. The smell of slurry
Once you smell it, you never forget it.
8. Having the budget right before Christmas
What other country in their right mind would have the budget just before the most expensive time of the year? The last thing I need when I'm trying to find my mother a different set of scented candles than I bought her last year, is to be told that another chunk is being taken out of my already tax-drained wages!
9. Soft days
Those days when it's just plain miserable. The sideways mizzle that you can't escape, no matter how big your umbrella is.
10. Slow internet
We still haven't got the best wifi back home. It's 2014 for the love of God!
11. People who can't drive on roundabouts
Cows going out on a gap are more organised than cars at roundabouts in Ireland. The inside lane is the home only to the most adventurous of drivers, and indicators are a luxury many decide to do without. The French circumnavigate the Arc de Triumph on a daily basis, but rush hour at the Red Cow roundabout is utter bedlam.
12. Bank Debt

Strong storms to continue this afternoon
Published: Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 10:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 10:51 a.m.
Prepare for another strong storm this afternoon and evening, comparable to what hit the area Sunday evening, forecasters say.
Southeast Louisiana was under a flash-flood watch through this evening, with 3-5 inches of rain or more expected throughout the day, the National Weather Service said. Scattered thunderstorms could produce hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.
The relatively calm weather this morning was "a little break in the action before we have another round this afternoon and evening," forecaster Shawn O'Neil said.
The area was hit with a severe thunderstorm Sunday night, which produced hail and caused minor damage in parts of the Houma-Thibodaux area.
Some residents reported seeing a funnel cloud touch down in the Mathews area, said Chris Boudreaux, Lafourche Parish's director of emergency preparedness.
A carport blew off and wrapped around some power lines near Adams and St. Joseph streets, which Entergy crews had to take down and fix. Power went out in the area, and some customers reported it was back on this morning, Boudreaux said.
High winds blew vents and other minor pieces off of some homes near Central Lafourche High School. A house on New Haven Street had a window blown out, while a house on St. Joseph Street had some shingles blown out.
Boudreaux said he had heard no reports of injuries.
Though not all rainfall figures were in this morning, Thibodaux reported receiving 1.4 inches of rain and Donaldsonville reported 2.9 inches Sunday, O'Neil said.
Officials with the Terrebonne Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness said they received no reports of damage, but hail did fall in Gibson, Gray and Schriever. Boudreaux said he did not hear of any hail in Lafourche.
