The Department of Children and Families is on a mission; a mission to let kids, be kids, regardless of their home life.
"Bad things have happened to their families, but they're not bad kids and so they have to be given that opportunity to be kids," said David Wilkins, secretary of the Florida DCF.
One of the ways they plan to do that is through the new initiative, "Fostering Florida's Future" which gives foster parents more freedom to make decisions for their foster children.
"I trusted my parents to help me make decisions," said Samantha Rogers, a former foster child. "They were there to support me. They allowed me to do every extracurricular activity under the sun and I enjoyed it."
The initiative also focuses on providing foster parents with convenient training and support, educating the children, and raising awareness for their need of a loving home.
"The big difference here is really getting more foster parents into the system, which in essence gives more permanent homes to our kids," said Wilkins.
Karen and Everett Condry have been fostering children for seven years. It's a job they say is beyond rewarding.
"What you're trying to do is just make a different within a child's life and that's the biggest key for us," said Everett Condry.
The DCF is hoping to recruit 1,200 new foster families this year. If you're interesting in becoming a foster parent or would like more information, go to www.fosteringflorida.com.
Tallahassee, Florida - July 12, 2012
A new initiative has just been launched to help recruit and support local foster families.
The Florida Department of Children and Families announced their new initiative to help, not only foster children in Tallahassee, but also foster families.
It's called "Fostering Florida's Future" and it's focusing on letting kids be kids, regardless of their family situations.
That includes offering them extracurricular activities, giving them quality educations, and most importantly providing them with loving safe families.
The goal is to recruit 1,200 new foster families in Tallahassee.

On Saturday, March 16, the Mt. Lake Christian School Speech team attended a tournament which was new to their schedule. With well-over 300 competitors, the competition was wonderful.
With only six competitors and eight entries (Elijah and Rachelle were both double-entered), the team brought home the 3rd place Small School trophy (under 20 entries).
The JWP Bulldog tournament was well-run and provided the challenging competition needed to keep the team on their toes. MLC is coached by Kim Friesen and assisted by Candy Zook. Nordis Olson accompanied the team as a registered judge and Scott Smith was the chaperone and bus driver.
Individual Results:
Rachelle Adrian first place great speeches and fourth place creative expression.
Elijah Stoesz third place informative and red ribbon great speeches
Josh Raabe blue ribbon humorous (earning a 1-100 in his third round)
Caitlyn Smith red ribbon poetry
Also competing at an excellent level: Davis Harder and James Hamm
The next tournament is scheduled for Saturday, March 23rd in New Ulm, however, that is only tentative as the MLA Boys' Basketball team has qualified for the State Tournament and the speech team wants to support them with their attendance, if possible.
Detailed results of the Janesville Bulldog tournament can be found on Speechwire.com

The ancient Greeks were well aware of [torsion] energy, calling it "aether" and understanding that it is directly responsible for universal manifestation. In the 1950s Russian scientist Nicolai Kozyrev conclusively proved the existence of this life-giving subspace energy, demonstrating that, like time, it flows in a sacred geometric spiral resembling the involutions of a conch shell that has been called phi, the Golden Mean, and the Fibonacci sequence. In the face of overwhelming evidence of its existence, Western scientists are returning to the notion of aether using such phrases as "zero point energy" and "vacuum potential" ... This breakthrough research in the temporal physics of subspace establishes that torsion energy permeates the entire multidimensional galaxy and not only is responsive to but may actually be consciousness creatively experiencing itself in time.

'The Voice' Recap: The Final 5 Perform
The five semi-finalists on "The Voice" vied on Monday for one of three spots in the finals, giving an all-or-nothing performance in a surprisingly short one-hour show.
There's one certainty this week: Team Adam is guaranteed at least one of the three slots in the finals. With his team still intact, even if he suffers two losses on Tuesday, he'll still have one contender in the game.
His Jamaican power singer Tessanne Chin appeared positioned to be his sure thing, getting the lucrative final slot on the show on Monday – historically reserved for the best performance of the night and an important one for votes. She certainly deserves a spot in the finals and performed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with gusto, although I wasn't crazy about the song choice.
As much as the producers have positioned Coach Blake to lose this season – after so many wins — his remaining contender, Cole Vosbury, continues to chug along nicely. Each week, his songs have been among the best performing on iTunes. Appearing in the penultimate slot this week, Cole made a play for the country vote, performing a song Garth Brooks topped the charts with, "Shameless."
I was sad to see James Wolpert kicking off the show – traditionally the worst slot for voting. I guess it's to be expected: he was instant saved last week and if history is anything to go by, that suggests he'll get voted off this week.
Still, he did an admirable job with U2's "With or Without You," prompting Blake to rather boldly predict: "You might just have dug yourself out of the hole."
A good song choice helped Will Champlin, who was second up on the show, performing American indie pop band Fun's "Carry On."
But Coach Christina took a wrong turn with her song choice for Jacquie Lee, picking "Angel." While Jacquie did a fine job – a lot less yelling than we've heard to date — Twitter was alight with fans saying it was off-putting because it reminded them of Sarah McLachlan's version which featured in an ad for the ASPCA anti-animal cruelty campaign. Still, Jacquie, the youngest contender in the competition, has her fans.
This week, we're back to classic voting to select the two eliminations. The "instant save" experiment, introduced this season to spice things up, is mercifully over!
By the end of Monday night's show, it was clear why NBC didn't splurge on a three-hour bonanza again this week. They used "The Voice" to help launch another singing competition, "The Sing-Off." Hosted by Nick Lachey, "The Sing-Off" features a cappella performances and is produced by the executive producer of "The Voice," reality king Mark Burnett.

Arrest made in cruise scheme
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:05 p.m.
BRADENTON - One of the two men accused of promoting and selling fake cruise packages was arrested Monday, says the Bradenton Police Department.
About 12:30 p.m., Todd Kelley, 22, of Bradenton was found in the 1500 block of 17th Street West. Police say Kelly confessed to four felony counts of engaging in a scheme to defraud of less than $20,000.
The second man suspected of selling the tickets, 25-year-old Dale Lucas, also of Bradenton, may have fled the state, according to a news release.
Victims contacted the Bradenton Police Department claiming they were sold fraudulent cruise packages from a pair of individuals who falsely said they were authorized to sell cruise packages or travel-related services on behalf of a well-known Internet site.
The two men reportedly collected payment for the travel package. They dressed in collared shirts and khaki pants and presented the travel packages in laminated marketing materials.

- Discover DELT More than just the online education provider for both distance and on-campus courses at Memorial University, DELT is also home to a stellar video production facility. The only fully HD-studio in Newfoundland and Labrador has produced an array of informational and educational videos � whether they were filmed in Malawi or in the basement of Memorial's G.A. Hickman (Education/Folklore/DELT) building.
- Student Focus Our distance education students are a very unique demographic. In ways, they are more dedicated than anyone. They are willing to study through full time jobs and full time families, whether they're tapping on a laptop with one hand and guarding the cupcake plate with the other while sitting at the kitchen table, smooshed into the centre seat on an airplane, whether they live in St. John's or St. Barb. Our distance students can multitask, to say the least. To walk a day in their shoes, take a look at our recruitment (cinema ads) and testimonial (The Course of Choice) videos.
- Teaching and Technology Creating virtual shipyards using Second Life immersive technology, developing an online entrance exam for prospective students, and traveling back in time to experience the culture and traditions of the Miawpukek First Nations people of Conne River are just a few projects DELT has produced, in collaboration with various internal and external community and culturally-based partners.

Slain Sniper Chris Kyle Had New Book on Guns in the Works
Chris Kyle, the retired Navy SEAL and author who was killed Saturday, had a new book in the works originally scheduled to be published in mid May by William Morrow, an imprint of News Corp.'s HarperCollins Publishers.
The work is titled "American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms," and is described in online catalog copy as an exploration of "American history through the lens of the nation's most iconic guns."
Mr. Kyle's memoir, "American Sniper," was a surprise best-seller and has sold roughly 800,000 copies in digital and physical formats in the U.S. since it was published in January 2012.
Mr. Kyle, who co-wrote "American Sniper" with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice, won numerous medals for bravery, including two Silver Stars.
Sharyn Rosenblum, a spokeswoman for William Morrow, said the new book is "nearly finished" and will be completed by Mr. Kyle's co-writer William Doyle. "We're still discussing the publication date," she added.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
Menopause is a natural process, which usually occurs around the age of 50. However, if the normal menstrual cycle is interrupted prior to age 40, it is thought to be abnormal and is referred to as premature menopause.

As I mentioned, the recording starts in the middle of Suzy. Trey rips in Bold as Love. Lizards is ok. Hood has a pretty nice jam. Good playing from Trey in this one. I like If I Only Had a Brain as a Fishman tune. Contact and Fire close it out well. The Whipping Post encore is very improvisational. Excellent version. The jam goes full on ambient in the middle, not usual for 80s Phish at all.
I'll go with 4 stars.

I have a feeling they will play OX on the right and Walcott up front to use his pace against our high back line style, so if that were to be the case I would play Walker...Gallas...Caulker...BAE...as I think it's our quickest back 4 if not our strongest and the game is likely to be about pace more than strength. So the question is, who do others think the back 4 should be and why based on who you consider the likely Arsenal line up?
It'll be a close one for me, John, but can't see Spurs loosing. Wilshire and Walcott the all important factors, 2 really gifted guys.
H---2-1 home win for me though.
John, it sounds a bit of a contradiction saying Walcott in the middle to use his pace and then putting Gallas in our back four. Not exactly the quickest but then nor are Vert or Dawson so I wish Kaboul was back. However I think maybe you're correct but we will miss either Vert's ball carrying ability or Daws passion. As long as we win, COYS COAVB.

Advantages of deploying MySQL database with Solaris Cluster
By Ritu Kamboj on Nov 04, 2008
The primary advantage of deploying the MySQL database in a Solaris Cluster environment is high availability. The Solaris Cluster environment provides fault monitoring and failover capabilities not only for the MySQL software, but also for the entire infrastructure including servers, storage, interconnects, and the operating system. If any component of the entire infrastructure fails, that failure is isolated and managed independently with no impact on availability.
MySQL Master-Slave configurations, deployed outside of a Solaris Cluster environment, provide limited availability: if the master fails, then the slave can manually be assigned master status and take over operation. However, this process is not automatic but requires manual intervention by a system administrator. Solaris Cluster removes this limitation, as it automatically fails over in the case of a master node failure. In addition, Solaris Cluster provides high availability for slaves as well as for masters. By providing high availability for slaves, these slaves can be kept updated with the masters throughout database transactions, thereby supporting scalability of MySQL database services. The Solaris cluster also provides both failover and scalable Apache Web server instances, thereby offering larger high availability coverage of the SAMP stack. Thus, MySQL Master-Slave configurations deployed in Solaris Cluster environment become highly available in the true sense.
Solaris Cluster deployments provide additional benefits beyond high availability. The Solaris Cluster environment can simplify administration by enabling clustered systems to be managed as if they were a single system. Data services, such as the MySQL database, can be deployed in Solaris Containers, providing the benefits of consolidation (as provided by Solaris Containers) as well as high availability (as provided by Solaris Cluster). Finally, both the MySQL database and Solaris Cluster are free and open source software, helping to contain costs and provide a low-cost solution for highly available databases.
If this is of interest to you , stay tuned here for a pointer on the blueprint for "Deploying MySQL Databases on Solaris Cluster Environment for increased High Availability"

About the Book
"Christine Feehan's fans will devour this steamy paranormal treat. Juliana Stone rocks!"
—Ann Aguirre, author of Doubleblind <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Debut author Juliana Stone launches her career with His Darkest Hunger, a hot new paranormal series…with a twist. His Darkest Hunger features a dark, sexy, shapeshifting hero who hungers for revenge on his ex-lover. The success of the novels of New York Times bestsellers Nailini Singh and Lora Leigh prove that shapeshifters are the next big thing—soon to rival vampires in popularity—and with this steamy tale of love on the wild side, author Stone loudly announces that she has, most emphatically, arrived.
Jaxon Castille: jaguar shifter, warrior, assassin. He has long hungered for the chance to make his former lover, Libby Jamieson, pay for her deadly betrayal. After three long years he's finally found her. The hunt is over . . .
But the Libby that he finds is not what he expected. She has no memory of their tumultuous affair, of her treachery, of anything beyond her own name. A shadowy and deadly clan has marked them both for death, and in an instant, he game changes: the hunter has become the hunted.
On the run, with the ghosts of their past between them and a dark, desperate hunger quickly reclaiming their bodies and souls, Libby and Jaxon must discover the truth behind the dark forces working against them. Together, they must grab hold of a destiny that has the power to either heal them or destroy them.
But the truth is far more shattering than anyone could imagine . . .

Replicate the home to the nation's Head of State.

Roe reacts to gun control speech
On Wednesday Rep. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-TN) released the following statement in response to the administration's gun control proposal:
"First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to those around the country that have been victims of the senseless acts of violence the president mentioned in his speech today. I will give the administration's proposal great thought and careful consideration, but our Second Amendment right is one of our most cherished freedoms and I will not support measures that infringe on our Constitutional right to bear arms."

Janet and Daniel Craig say that watching their son Jonathon, 3, on skis is the most fun they've had as parents. And now they've found the perfect place to foster what they hope becomes a family tradition.
Ace's Terrain Park in Arapahoe Basin is a venue for absolute beginners to learn the sport without feeling overwhelmed or judged by more experienced skiers.
"We love skiing, so we want our family to connect through the sport," Daniel Craig said. "Back when I was learning how to ski, there weren't features or parks away from really talented athletes. It's hard to learn, it's hard to get over the intimidation factor but this type of park makes it much easier for the little guys."
The demand for beginner parks has increased in recent years, said Austyn Williams with Copper Mountain.
"Every year we see more young riders - the demand for beginner features is increasing and we see a big crowd of young skiers and riders at Woodward taking advantage of those facilities.," Williams said.
Woodward at Copper offers a facility with trampolines and mats for the development of skills that translate to on-mountain riding.
"Woodward offers a safe venue for riders and skiers trying to practice certain skills before taking new moves out on the mountain - it's less risky and makes riders and skiers more comfortable as they learn new skills."
Typically a kid park has features modified to reduce risk and difficulty. The boxes usually sit an inch or two above the level of the snow and are more approachable.
"It's great to have this kind of setting to get the kids comfortable," Daniel Craig said. "When they're able to interact with features, even this small, they get more comfortable with the concept of park riding."
Getting young athletes into winter sports is also bolstered by the technology available now for young riders, skiers and their families.
New Riglet snowboards are equipping kids as young as 18 months to try the sport for the first time using a tow reel to focus on balancing techniques.
"If they can walk, they can board," said Tucker Vest Burton, spokeswoman at Keystone Resorts.
The new gear, similar to a tow rope for tots on skis, aims to get young kids out on the mountain to experience winter sports and learn the basics.
"We have been pushing down the barriers that kids need to learn how to ski first - we've adamantly said that that's a myth," Shaun Cattanach, global experience manager at Burton Snowboards. "We've been focusing on better gear for kids for over a decade and have continuously evolved the product through ongoing testing year round and introducing new idea concepts, technologies and programs that support it - all that make it easier for kids to learn."
Small children don't just ride, they also compete.
The Little Rascal Rail Jam concluded Frisco's Wassail Days Saturday.
The rail jam, which is for snowboarders ages 9 and under, was presented by Burton Experience Snowboarding and hosted by USASA.
"This is the first season that the USASA will host this type of event," Rocky Mountain Series director Paul Krahulec stated in a press release. "Instead of throwing all the riders together in a rail jam, Burton and USASA wanted this early age group to be able to have an event they could call their own."
The rail jam is also a first for the Frisco Adventure Park, which will host a second USASA rail jam in February.

Up until now Ive been using Windows Media Player for my streaming to the PS3. It does the job for the most part, but there are some issues. Most of which I can deal with.
First off, the most annoying, it doesnt auto refresh, and I cant figure out a way to force it, aside from closing WMP and waiting a couple minutes and opening it again, then it will reload the list with the new videos. Also every now and then the ps3 will randomly parental lock some videos, even though I have no parental locks on my PS3 or my computer.
Second are seemingly 720p videos I cant fast forward, rewind, pause or anything like that. I was looking for a solution to that and thats how I found this. Seems that may be an issue with the way the file is encoded? They play ok for the most part, but can be a bit choppy at times. Its not usually a big deal because I usually just use MP4s which honestly usually look just as good and are a lot smaller. Some things though not so much though and Id like to have the option to use the 720p for them.
Would this take care of the 720p video issue? Basically what would be nice wound be a lighter easier to use alternative to WMP, which this seems to be.

2.12-1 Persistent Offenders -- § 53a-40, § 53a- 40a, § 53a-40d and § 53a-40f
Revised to November 17, 2015
In the second part of the information, the defendant has been charged with being a <insert appropriate statute and subsection:>
§ 53a-40 (a): persistent dangerous felony offender.
§ 53a-40 (b): persistent dangerous sexual offender.
§ 53a-40 (c): persistent serious felony offender.
§ 53a-40 (d): persistent serious sexual offender.
§ 53a-40 (e): persistent larceny offender.
§ 53a-40 (f): persistent offender for possession of a controlled substance.1
§ 53a-40 (g): persistent felony offender.
§ 53a-40a (a): persistent offender of crimes involving bigotry or bias.
§ 53a-40d (a): persistent offender of crimes involving (assault / stalking / trespass / threatening / harassment / criminal violation of a protective order / criminal violation of a standing criminal protective order / criminal violation of a restraining order).
§ 53a-40f (a): persistent operating while under the influence felony offender.
A person is guilty of being a <insert type of persistent offender charged> when that person stands convicted of <insert crime>, and has been, prior to the commission of that offense, convicted of <insert prior crime[s]> [and imprisoned under a sentence to a term of imprisonment of more than one year or death in (this state / any other state / a federal correctional institution)].2
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Current conviction
The first element is that the defendant has been convicted of <insert crime> in this case. The verdict you just rendered, finding the defendant guilty of <insert crime>, satisfies this element.
Element 2 - Prior conviction3
The second element is that prior to <insert date the current crime was committed>, the defendant was convicted of <insert prior crime4> [and imprisoned under a sentence to a term of imprisonment of more than one year or death in (this state / any other state / a federal correctional institution).] To be "convicted" of a crime means that a finding of guilty has been entered against a defendant in a criminal or motor vehicle case.
[<If applicable; see note 1.> The state need only prove that the defendant served some amount of time in confinement under a sentence having a term that exceeded one year. The crucial element of the statute is that the imposed term exceeded one year; however, the defendant is not required to have actually served one year in prison but is only required to have been imprisoned.5]
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant has been convicted of <insert crime>, and that (he/she) had previously been convicted of <insert crime> [and imprisoned under a sentence to a term of imprisonment of more than one year or death in (this state / any other state / a federal correctional institution)].
will now return to the deliberation room to consider this question. I am
sending in with you a form on which to record your answer. Your decision must
be unanimous. Your foreperson should check the appropriate answer and sign and
date the form. Refer back to and use the instructions I previously gave you on
burden of proof, presumption of innocence, and reasonable doubt.
1 The persistent offender for possession of a controlled substance was added by Public Acts, Spec. Sess., June 2015, No. 2, § 19, effective October 15, 2015.
2 The requirement of imprisonment applies only to § 53a-40 (a), (b), (c), and (d).
3 Prior to October 1, 2010, § 53a-40d (a) (2) required that the prior conviction, or release from imprisonment, be within the 5 years before the subsequent crime. That provision was deleted by P.A. No. 10-144, § 12.
4 Sections 53a-40 (a) (1) and (2), 53a-40 (b), 53a-40d, and 53a-40f provide that the prior conviction may be a conviction in another state of "any crime the essential elements of which are substantially the same as any of the crimes" in Connecticut that qualify the defendant as a persistent offender. The determination of whether an out-of-state offense is substantially similar to a Connecticut offense is a question of law for the court to decide. State v. Commins, 276 Conn. 503, 513 (2010).
State v. Milardo, 224
In State v. Ledbetter, 240 Conn. 317, 321 (1997), the Supreme Court "interpret[ed] the language of § 53a-40 (d) and its legislative purpose to require a sequence of offense, conviction and punishment for each prior felony before a defendant may be subject to an enhanced penalty as a persistent offender." This presumably applies to the other persistent offender statutes.
In State v. Rogers, 128 Conn. App. 765, 776, cert. denied, 301 Conn. 935 (2011), the Appellate Court held that unclassified felonies qualify as prior convictions under § 53a-40 (f), which requires that a defendant be "twice convicted of a felony other than a class D felony."
It is recommended that the factual question of the defendant's status as a persistent offender be submitted to the jury by way of an interrogatory after it has rendered its verdict on Part A of the information. Below is an example of the text of the interrogatory.
Has the state proven to all of you unanimously beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is a <insert type of persistent offender charged>?
Yes _____ No _____
Foreperson Date

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Today, millions of Americans went to the polls on Election Day to vote for the next President of the United States, and locally, hundreds of residents did the same and cast ballots for a variety of political races and state propositions - and perhaps most importantly, on a quartet of local races.
In Nevada, the polls remain open until 7 p.m., and depending on the state's ability to travel with and count votes this year, results should start being published within an hour.
The Bonanza will begin publishing updated stories of the local races as the results come in, and will have full results up as soon as possible. But for those readers too eager to wait, real-time results can be accessed as they're updated on the Washoe County website by visiting the following link:
• www.co.washoe.nv.us/repository/files/31/Summary%20Report.pdf
There are four major local races in which Incline/Crystal Bay residents can vote in this presidential election year.
In regard to the Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees, three seats are open - those of Bea Epstein, Ted Fuller and Chuck Weinberger. Fuller and Weinberger are outgoing trustees.
Voters are asked to choose 3 of the following 6 candidates: Jim Smith, Jim Hammerel, George Del Carlo, Bill Devine, Epstein (incumbent) and Tim Callicrate.
There are five candidates for three seats on the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District Board of Trustees. The open seats are those held by Chris Plastiras, Dale Smith and Wayne Fischer - Plastiras is the lone outgoing director.
Voters are asked to choose 3 of the following 5 candidates: Smith (incumbent), Fischer (incumbent), Paul Zahler, Steve King and Chris May.
At the county level, Seat No. 1 in the Washoe County Commission is up, as current commissioner John Breternitz opted to not file for re-election. Seat No. 1 includes Incline/Crystal Bay, and the race is between Marsha Berkbigler, a Republican; and Andrew Diss, a Democrat.
As for the Washoe County School District Board of Trustees District A seat - which includes Incline/Crystal Bay - outgoing trustee Dan Carne will be replaced by either Lisa Ruggerio or Dale Richardson.

RPG Miniatures
Put some character into your game with these solid metal miniatures. These RPG miniatures are cast in a heroic scale (25mm). These minis are fun to paint, or you can play with them just as they are. We also carry pre-painted, plastic minis from the Legendary Encounters line in case you want them ready-to-go right out of the box
Kristianna & Squire$7.49
Let's face it: a lot of the miniatures we sell here at Game Master Dice are sexist. The big, strong, powerful figures are usually male, and the slinky, graceful ones baring their midriffs are usually female. This unequal treatment in the fantasy kingdom has gone on for too long! That's where Kristianna comes in.

You see, Kristianna is a strong, powerful, confident woman. In fact—and I hope the feminists really appreciate this feature—she even comes with a male assistant, a squire who holds her helmet for her while she's too busy being important and giving orders to hold it herself. How's that for the glass ceiling?

A Camdenton man is facing felony assault/operating a vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident and six counts of endangering the welfare of a child after hitting a tree and fleeing to his nearby home.
The man's blood alcohol level shortly after the accident was more than three times the legal limit of .08 for driving while intoxicated.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reported Matthew J. Richards, 34, of Camdenton, was the driver of a vehicle that ran off the right side of the road and struck a tree on Mayfair Drive in Camelot Estates. Matthews allegedly fled from the scene of the accident. He was found at his nearby home after being identified as the owner of the wrecked car.
Richards had six children, ranging in age from four to 10 years of age in the vehicle when the wreck occurred. One of the children, identified as a nine-year-old girl was taken to the hospital by ambulance for treatment of a broken arm.
According to court documents, when Richards was located, he showed signs of being intoxicated. A cooler of "intoxicants" was found inside his vehicle. The responding officer reported Richards speech was slurred and he swayed while standing. After failing three field sobriety tests, a breath sample taken showed Richards had a blood alcohol level of .256 percent.
Bond was denied. Richards was arraigned in Camden County Associate Court on July 2.

6. Project Roselle: 21:58
Here's the long and short of it:
Roselle Ambubuyog is way, way cool. After being the Ateneo valedictorian (BS Math) and winning truckloads of awards recognizing the inspiration she has provided for so many students, both blind and seeing (including me! =) ), she went for actuarial mathematics at UP. I sat in some of her classes and they boggled my mind.
Now, she's working from the Philippines as a consultant for the US-based Freedom Scientific. She's also working with the Rotary Club on Project Roselle, which donates scanners and readers to schools so that other blind children can study.
Over the past three years, they've raised enough money to donate equipment to three schools: Ramon Magsaysay High School in Manila, Quirino HS in Quezon City, and Bagong Silang HS in Caloocan. Next year, they'd like to reach out to schools outside Metro Manila. They're also exploring ways to help blind people work at call centers and integrate better into the workplace. They'd like to donate to two schools a year, but don't really have a lot of money for the hardware.
I think what they're doing is really cool. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of information on the Net about their project, and chances are you haven't heard about it yet. Which is why I'm posting it here. =)
If you want to get in touch with Roselle, drop me a note and I'll forward your message to her. (I haven't asked for permission to post her e-mail address yet.)

I don't know about you, but I'm on a meatloaf budget this month. It just feels right to cut back after holiday excesses, both culinary and financial. I'm ready for down-home meals, grocery bills that don't make me wince and simple preparations.
What did our moms and grandmas make when they needed to stretch a dollar? Good ol' meatloaf. If you needed dinner to feed another mouth or two, you could always add more breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to the mix and make more of the accompanying mashed potatoes.
I've been threatening to make meatloaf for some time now, and I do mean threatening. While I adore meatloaf and think nothing is finer than a next-day meatloaf sandwich with mustard, my better half is not of the same mind. Somehow, we have muddled through a quarter-century of marriage despite this great failing on his part. And since I have surely subjected him to far worse dinners over the years, I think he can endure a few meatloaves in January.
When Donnis Stoner wrote to find a replacement for the fresh meatloaf mix sold at the now-closed PW Markets, several of you offered alternatives. "Both Lunardi's and Sprouts sell prepared meatloaf, but the taste is quite different," says Neil Mitchell, of Martinez. "Lunardi's calls theirs 'oven ready.' It can be purchased in any quantity but still needs to have seasoning added. Sprouts sells theirs in an aluminum container, about a 2-pound portion. Pour some tomato sauce on top, and it's ready for the oven."
But I want to make my own meatloaf, and Linda Christensen and Marcia N. Baker offered help. Christensen, of Pleasant Hill, makes a jar of dried seasoning that works well in meatloaf and meatballs and as a rub when combined with olive oil. She also offers an unusual meatloaf recipe that includes lemon juice and brandy. While she doesn't include cooking instructions, you can follow the oven instructions in Baker's meatloaf recipe.
Baker loves her mother's easy Dutch meatloaf recipe. I'm not quite sure how meatloaf came to be labeled Dutch. Doing a little online research, I found that a similar version has appeared on Hunt's tomato sauce cans, and there are references to Pennsylvania Dutch meatloaf recipes and the popularity of this recipe, with its topping of tomato sauce, brown sugar, mustard and cider vinegar, on the East Coast.
Second helpings
My middle-aged eyes betrayed me when I read Ann Bush's submission. The easy candy recipe she enjoys came from Ruby Gilbert, not Rudy.

LAKE TAHOE — The forest fire chief for the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit is suspending residential burning, also known as "dooryard" burning, effective through the remainder of fire season, officials announced Wednesday.
The prohibition applies to debris burning on private, state and federal lands of El Dorado and Placer counties in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Residential debris burning is already banned within the city of South Lake Tahoe, and in both the Tahoe Douglas and North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection districts in Nevada.
Lake Tahoe weather conditions have generally been hot, dry and windy, leading fire protection officials to move to end residential debris burning due to increased risks. The ban is for residential burns only and does not prevent federal, state and local fire managers from conducting prescribed fire operations necessary for fuels reduction on public lands. Prescribed fire work is conducted by fully equipped professional wildland firefighting crews under favorable weather conditions.
The ban also does not prohibit small, contained campfires on private land outside the city of South Lake Tahoe, built by the property owner or with the written permission of the property owner.
The residential burn ban will remain in effect until temperatures, winds and humidity allow for safer conditions.

Baseball feasibility study begins
Public information meeting Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Belpre
May 20, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Officials are beginning the feasibility study for bringing a minor league baseball team to Parkersbur....
What will be the draw when the season's over? A year round multipurpose facility combined with retail outlets and restaurants would make more financial sense.

Has there ever been a feasibility study that didn't agree with the viewpoint of the group paying for it?
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Would like to remind the community that this is not minor league baseball.
Again, the players are undrafted college players or one-time prospects who have been released by other teams. Unlike Charleston, which is a low A minor league affiliate of the Pirates, an independent league team is not affiliated at all with major or minor league baseball.
Hopefully the facility can generate other opportunities as concerts and such. And hope that local youth teams do not have to pay a ridiculous amount of rent to be able to use the facility.

This is a terrific, a minor league baseball team would go a long ways improving the quality of life here in the MOV. Not only would a minor league baseball team be an added attraction for new businesses to locate in the valley, but it would also be an added activity that families could do things together. A minor league sports team would encourage kids to be involved in team sports and help shape their lives in positive ways. I hope the mayor and other city leaders will be successful in their efforts...Our communities will be so much better for it!

This would be a huge thing for the area. I don't see a problem getting 2,000 people for each home game. This is going to be the whole area not just Parkersburg that will come to watch games. Fort Boremen is the perfect place as well. Traffic away from town & the exit right off 50. This stadium could be used for concerts as well. A hotel would likely come in along with a few restaraunts. We have nothing here to do except going to the mall and eating. Go to Wheeling,Charleston,Huntington and they have plenty to do. I know quite a few folks that drive to Charelston to watch a minor league games. We need this Parkersburg!

I go by the city park about everyday. When there is a ballgame there, no matter who is playing, there are plenty of available seats~~because no one is sitting in them!
The city spends a lot of money on tarps, bases, sod, etc., for a ballfield (Bennett Stump Field) that has games only a few people attend.
The city tried a similar idea once, and it failed miserably. If it does come to fruition, better have some traffic control~~cars will be colliding with the hundreds of bicyclists on the bike route that leads to the park.

If you do the research the average attendance for independent league baseball games is roughly 2500. Maybe the feasibility study can tell us how long Parkersburg can maintain and independent team if the community can not draw 2500 fans to each home game.
People have to remember that the players are not local and are undrafted college players or one-time prospects who have been released by other teams.
I don't even see 300 fans attending a sectional baseball game between PSHS and PHS. So can the region fill a stadium with 2500 fans for a 50 home games schedule...hummm.

It's about time! Something needs to be done to bring some excitement to Parkersburg. There is nothing to bring people to our town. A Baseball team just might help bring some excitement.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Freshman forward Yvette Franco has earned honorable mention from the Southland Conference as part of its All-Conference Teams. Franco led the Islanders in scoring in their debut season, netting eight goals and 20 points on the year.
"This is a great accomplishment for Yvette, and I'm really excited for her," head coach Shanna Caldwell said. "Hopefully it's just the beginning of a great career for her. She worked hard all year and continued to be a threat on the field for opposing teams. I think it's also a compliment to us as a team that we did a good job of getting her the ball in dangerous situations."
The Corpus Christi native started off her career with a bang, registering at least one point in her first six games. She posted multi-goal games against Dallas Baptist, UTSA and UNC Wilmington, netting the game winner in the first victory in program history against the Roadrunners on Sept. 6. Following her third multi-goal game of the year, Franco was ranked fifth in the nation in goals per game.
She added a goal in a 2-1 loss to Nicholls on Sept. 22, and posted assists at Oral Roberts and against McNeese State later in the season. She set up Alyssa Miller for the golden goal against the Cowgirls that gave the Islanders their first conference victory in program history.

I have read a lot of posts looking for a solution, but i'm starting to feel crazy =S Maybe anybody can help me...please
Ok...I have the new Xbox 360 Slim and the stable version of PS3 Media Server (yes, I have tried the new beta too) and the next router: Zyxel P660HW-D1.
After many attempts I had success and finally the program detect the console automatically. But the problem now is that the Xbox don't detect the program.
I have a MacBook and other programs version like Rivet, connect360 or twenty monkey can't fix it.
- I opened the oficial ports of xbox360.
- I opened the 5001 port for the PCServer.
- I have the UPnP activated.
- I have changed the router firmware to a other version and it was a step forward =)
- I can do ping from the router interface to the console, but the MAC Adress of the xbox isn't showed in DHCP list =(
- I have configure the internet conexion of the console manually with a static ip...
- I have force the ip of PC in the program.
- And...the worse: It seems that going to work and don't work.
Any idea mates?
I think that the router have many problems with enable really the UPnP service...

For all their talk of transparency and welcoming outside review, officials in charge of building the new Bay Bridge continue to mislead the public and dismiss experts who disagree with them.
Some commission members are frustrated. They're tired of learning about construction problems from newspaper investigations and then receiving the officials' substandard briefings.
With a planned Labor Day opening uncertain, the bridge remains plagued by questions surrounding the broken rods, similarly galvanized bolts elsewhere on the span, faulty welds, and corroded steel tendons in the roadway. The issues raise concerns about bridge durability and strength to withstand major earthquakes.
The officials in question comprise the three-member "Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee," created by 2005 state legislation. They are the executive directors of the state Department of Transportation (Malcolm Dougherty), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (Steve Heminger) and the California Transportation Commission (Andre Boutros). It's Dougherty's department, known as Caltrans, that's responsible for day-to-day construction oversight.
Following revelations about the rod fiasco, the officials promised to seek -- and later received -- agreement from the Federal Highway Administration to independently review their investigation of what went wrong and to "double check" that their recommended solution "is the best and safest possible."
That didn't happen before Caltrans moved ahead with plans for a huge metal connector that will replace the failed rods. Workers have already begun chipping away at a concrete pier that will hold it.
It was under questioning by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission on Wednesday that Heminger and Dougherty revealed they had bypassed the highway administration. They suddenly claimed they never intended to include that repair in the federal review.
Despite repeated assurances that they will not cut corners to meet the Labor Day opening, Heminger said timing was a concern in the decision to install the metal connector without federal input. "We're operating on a very accelerated schedule here," he said.
Meanwhile, Caltrans continues investigating what caused the rod failures. That brings us to Thomas Devine, a UC Berkeley professor and former chairman of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Yun Chung, a respected retired Bechtel metallurgist. Both prepared unsolicited analyses critical of Caltrans.
Under questioning Wednesday, Dougherty's Bay Bridge project manager, Tony Anziano, said both metallurgists were subsequently contacted. "We've had an opportunity to invite both out to the project, have a conversation about their reports, get some input from them with respect to their views, let them know what we are doing in terms of our testing program, try to get some sense of if they thought we were on the right track. And I think in both instances, they thought that we did."
Chung and Devine have a different perspective: They both say they met only with Anziano, who is a lawyer but not an engineer. (Chung said Anziano canceled three appointments before meeting.) They hoped to talk with Caltrans engineers about the technical aspects of their analyses, but that never happened.
"It was more PR," Chung said. "This is just stonewalling tactics. I'm very disappointed in the whole process."
That's not surprising. The oversight committee repeatedly puts spin before substance, relying on last-minute PowerPoint presentations to the commission rather than the written reports that should be provided. San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, a commission member, insisted Wednesday on advance reports in the future.
The continuing struggle for meaningful information raises questions about what else officials are hiding. So much for transparency and building public trust.

STANFORD -- Top-ranked Stanford hadn't lost at Maples Pavilion since the Bush administration. And the women hadn't suffered a home defeat of 20-plus points since before the first Bush resided in the White House.
That aura of invincibility came to a numbing halt Saturday in front of a sold-out crowd of 7,329 as the Cardinal's nation-best 82-game home win streak was vaporized by second-ranked Connecticut.
The Huskies turned the No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown into a smack down with a 61-35 thrashing that provided some significant markers in Stanford basketball history.
The last Cardinal home defeat came March 19, 2007, a 68-61 loss to Florida State in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The last defeat of 20 or more points at Maples was an 81-59 loss to USC in 1986. And the last time Stanford scored fewer than 40 points in a game was in 1984 -- two seasons before coach Tara VanDerveer arrived.
"As coaches we knew we would have tough year ahead," said VanDerveer in reference to the graduation of WNBA No. 1 draft pick Nneka Ogwumike. "This is definitely beyond a wake-up call."
Stanford (11-1) had gained national attention for its 71-69 victory over previously No. 1 Baylor six weeks ago. But Connecticut (11-0) left the Cardinal looking as if it might seriously struggle to reach the Final Four for the sixth consecutive season.
The Huskies outscored Stanford 19-2 over 11½ minutes in the first half to run the Cardinal off its home floor. Stanford, which opens Pac-12 Conference play Friday at No. 23 Colorado, offered little resistance after that.
Sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 19 points and senior center Stephanie Dolson added 10 points and 14 rebounds as UConn earned its first victory at Maples in four tries.
"I don't think I've experienced anything like this," said Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike, who had 18 points and 13 rebounds. "That Connecticut team we played for 40 minutes is the standard. And the great thing is now we've experienced the standard."
The question is whether Stanford can reach such lofty heights in the coming months. VanDerveer is excited to see how her players respond to the shellacking.
"We have to do decide whether we will be a great team," she said.
It will take more than Ogwumike, a 6-foot-3 All-America forward and Nneka Ogwumike's sister. Chiney got almost no support from teammates who collectively made five shots. Ogwumike had a less than spectacular performance, shooting 6 for 22 while fending off double and triple teams.
Stanford couldn't do anything with the ball -- or without it -- in a frightful shooting performance of 19.3 percent and made only 2 of 14 from 3-point range. It was so bad that Toni Kokenis, a 96 percent free-throw shooter, had an air ball from the line.
Starters Amber Orrange and Mikaela Ruef failed to score. Senior Joslyn Tinkle contributed two points. But don't expect any changes to the rotation.
"If we had a better lineup I would have played it," VanDerveer said. "It's not like a little princess is coming on a white horse. We have to play with it, and we have to play better."
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma tried to choke the Cardinal's main offensive vein by pressuring point guard Orrange and Ogwumike.
Ogwumike missed eight of her first nine shots in part because of the presence of the 6-5 Dolson.
"I was able to read what she was going to do," Dolson said.
The last time UConn visited Maples, two years ago, Stanford ended the Huskies' record-setting 90-game win streak in an electrifying atmosphere.
"The last time we were here it was a big event for them and they treated it like it was a big event, and God bless them," Auriemma said.
But he downplayed the significance of the victory Saturday with so much of the season left.
"We executed defensively and they missed shots," Auriemma said. "Sometimes it is as simple as that."

WHKP's Will Rhodes earns job in Charleston
Published: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 9:26 p.m.
WHKP's Will Rhodes wore many hats at the radio station in his short time there.
Since 2011 the 2007 West Henderson graduate worked in advertising sales, broadcasted local high school sporting events, including the Friday Night Finals prep football scoreboard, and programmed the WHKP Message Center electronic billboard.
He has lived in Hendersonville all of his life, except for his four years at Appalachian State from 2007-2011, and now he's getting ready to move again for a second time. He is taking a job as an account executive for Adams Outdoor Advertising in Charleston, S.C. His first day there is May 6.
"I'm looking forward to a change of scenery," Rhodes said. "This has been about a four-month process for me. I've had about six to eight interviews with different companies."
His last trip to Charleston prior to the interview was on a cruise that he won after his hole-in-one at the Henderson County Education Foundation golf tournament.
"That was the only time I can remember ever going to Charleston, except when I was really young," he said.
His father, Richard Rhodes, has been at WHKP since 1975 and is the station's vice president and sports director.
"I thought Will did a great job while he was here with us, especially in broadcasting. But this is something he's been wanting to do for a while now, and we're happy for him," Richard Rhodes said. "He's chasing his goal of learning the outdoor advertising business, and he already knows a lot, having worked the electronic billboard for us here. It's a big advantage for him to take this job offer, and we're proud of him. Another big advantage is when we go visit him now, his mamma will get to go to the beach."

Google (GOOG) recently rolled out a free scan and match feature for its Music service, but it seems to be switching explicit versions of songs with clean ones and vice versa.
The Mountain View company rolled out the new feature a week ago giving consumers a free alternative to similar services offered by Amazon.com and Apple (AAPL), which charge $25 for their services.
But earlier this week, reports hit the Web saying users are having their songs switched out for incorrect versions that either bleep out words when they're not supposed to or don't when they should.
Google's service appears to be suffering from the same problems Apple's iTunes Match went through when it launched in 2011 -- it too was mixing up clean and explicit versions of songs, according to The Verge.
Fortunately, if you've recently scanned and matched your music collection with Google Music there's a way to fix the problem.
You can do so by using the computer on which you installed the Music Manager software, which is what scans and matches your music. Go to your music library on Google Music and find the song that has been incorrectly tagged. Right click on it and choose "Fix incorrect match." That will tell the Music Manager software to simply upload the original version of your song and negate the incorrect match.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to correct multiple songs at once.

Destruction by sword or debt?
The writer of the Jan. 3 letter to the editor, "Violent culture goes very deep" was quite insightful when he said, "Only a rational move to repentance will save us from the violence we ourselves have created."
But is it rational to expect "repentance" anytime soon? I think a nation has to reach a certain threshold of pain before any "repentance factor" can really be activated.
For the time being, I believe we are locked into what I call the Lao Zi principle. This ancient Chinese archivist said: "The sage rules thus: he empties their minds, stuffs their bellies, weakens their will, and strengthens their bodies. He always keeps the people devoid of intelligence and desire. He keeps the intelligent in fear from action, and all are governed."
Interesting that China has now surpassed the U.S. as global trader (a title the U.S. has held for over 100 years). China has the world's largest trade surplus; America has the largest trade deficit; and 2012 was a record year for deficit. No problem, we'll just keep borrowing money from them so we can buy more of their stuff. China is buying up lots of real-estate in cities like Toledo and across the country, even rebuilding bridges in New York, California and Alaska, for the government. Half the world's iron ore goes to China to feed their steel mills. Many countries are now more interested in trade with China than with the U.S.
Without even doing a search, I was informed of three southwest Minnesota companies that have been bought up by China. How many more are there right here in Minnesota? Overall, our country has lost over 56,000 factories since 2001; how many of them went to China?
You can destroy a country by the sword, or by inflicting crushing debt. America has chosen the later.
