Cirque du Soleil provide media representatives with show and corporate press kits.
Zarkana by Cirque du Soleil is a spirited journey through an abandoned theater where an extraordinary circus comes back to life. Populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats, Zarkana is a visual vortex set in a twisted acrobatic fantasy universe where, little by little, chaos and craziness give way to a true celebration.
Zarkana is a quintessential Cirque du Soleil spectacular featuring an international cast of 70 world class acrobats, aerialists, jugglers, high wire and trapeze artists set on a grand stage at ARIA Resort & Casino.
Resident show at ARIA Resort & Casino Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV
One of Quebec's most respected creators, François Girard navigates easily from one medium to another and has, over the years, acquired an enviable international status. A music lover, he has carved out a unique reputation for writing and directing works imbued with great musicality in productions in which music plays a major role.
His professional career began on the Montreal art video circuit in the 1980s, and he first attracted the attention of critics and the public when he directed a television adaptation of the theatrical show Le Dortoir by the Quebec dance/theatre/multimedia troupe Carbone 14, for which he won a score of awards, including an International Emmy. His other television credits include Peter Gabriel's Secret World, for which he won a Grammy Award, and The Sound of the Carceri, one of the six episodes of Yo Yo Ma Inspired by Bach.
François cemented his reputation as a film director with his 1993 feature-length biopic Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould. His third feature, The Red Violin (1998) was a huge success, winning eight Genies in Canada (including Best Picture and Best Director) nine Jutras in Quebec and an Academy Award for Best Original Soundtrack. His most recent feature is Silk (2007), adapted from the novel by Alessandro Baricco.
He made his debut as an opera director at the Canadian Opera Company with Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms and Oedipus Rex by Jean Cocteau, which went on to win eight Dora Mavor Moore Awards in Canada. He also directed Alessandro Baricco's play Novecento, Kafka's The Trial, the oratorio Lost Objects at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the opera Siegfried and the double bill The Lindbergh Flight and The Seven Deadly Sins, in Lyon, Edinburgh and Wellington.
In 2010, François directed Le Fusil de chasse (adapted from the novel The Hunting Gun by Yasushi Inoue) which premiered in Montreal, and the opera Emilie du Chatelet at l'Opéra de Lyon. He also directed Parsifal presented at l'Opéra de Lyon in 2012 and scheduled to run in 2013 at the Metropolitan Opera.
Zarkana is François Girard's second engagement as Writer and Director with Cirque du Soleil, following ZED that was presented at Tokyo Disney Resort.
François Girard was born in Saint-Félicien, Quebec.
Line Tremblay first fell in love with Cirque du Soleil in 1984, drawn by its freewheeling spirit, a spirit she says has never gone away. "For me, circus is the most complete art form. It addresses the audience on the visual, the emotional and the physical level all at the same time. I always knew I was destined for a life in this milieu."
Before joining Cirque du Soleil, Line developed a passion for working in the world of film and television, notably as an Assistant Director at Radio-Canada, where she worked closely with designers and creators. In 1992, she joined Franco Dragone, assisting him in the creation and direction of the Cirque du Soleil shows Mystère, Alegría, Quidam, "O" and La Nouba. Her talents were also put to work as Artistic Director of Quidam. Her rich association with Franco helped her to master the mechanics of stage direction and show creation.
A newcomer to the equestrian field, Line worked with Gilles Ste-Croix assisting in the creation of the 2000 show Cheval Théâtre. She left Cirque du Soleil to work with Franco Dragone on the creation of the Celine Dion show A New Day, and returned to Cirque in 2003 to work on Corteo as the first woman in Cirque's history to occupy the position of Director of Creation. In 2008, she took on the position of Director of Creation once again with ZED, working with director François Girard for the first time.
"With Zarkana, we wanted to create a decidedly acrobatic show in which circus arts would take center stage," says Line Tremblay. "The choice of disciplines, the staging, the set design, projections and choreography all contribute to a major transformation of one of the biggest performance spaces in the world."
Line Tremblay was born in Hull, Quebec.
Stéphane Roy has worked as both a set designer and artistic director on over 100 productions in Montreal and abroad among which L'Odyssée, directed by Quebec playwright Dominic Champagne, at the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde (2002), and Les Âmes mortes, directed by Gilles Maheu, at Carbone 14 in Montreal (1996). Since 1990 he has designed sets for dance productions by such internationally-acclaimed dance troupes as La La La Human Steps and O Vertigo.While primarily active in theatre and dance, he has also worked in film, television, advertising and variety shows. Since 2011, Stéphane has been one of three artists in residence appointed by the Montreal Nature Museums group to create organic links between the city's four natural science museums. He also designed The Warrior Emperor and China's Terra Cotta Army exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. His achievements have earned him many awards and honors, including being named Revelation of the Year, All Categories Combined, by the Association Québécoise des Critiques de Théâtre in 1989. In 1992, the same association honored him with the award for best set design. His talent has also been recognized by the Conseil des Arts de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television and the Académie Québécoise du Théâtre. For Cirque du Soleil, Stéphane designed the set for Dralion, Varekai, Zumanity, KOOZA, Zarkana and KURIOS – Cabinet of curiosities.
Alan Hranitelj attended the School for the Visual Arts in his hometown of Zagreb, Croatia, and has been living in Slovenia since1985, when he went to Ljubljana to design the makeup for a production of the play Baptism Under Triglav.
He did briefly design haute couture collections in Milan in the early 1990s, but quickly returned to the world of theatre in Slovenia where he designed makeup and costumes for stage and film productions. He regards his work as the antithesis of fashion, defining himself simply as a costume designer. Yet his designs are works of art in their own right, pieces of sculpture even.
Between1987 and 2010, Alan designed the costumes for about 200 projects, notably for solo and group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana (1991), the Municipal Gallery, Ljubljana (1991-1995) and the European Cultural Capital 96 event in Copenhagen (1996). In 2000 his work was featured in a movement-theatre performance and fashion show at the Millennium Dome, London. He has designed the costumes for many classical and modern theatre and opera productions directed by such prominent Slovenian directors as Vito Taufer, Mateja Koležnik, Diego de Brea, Matjaž Berger and Meta Hočevar.
Alan's work method is to interact closely with actors, singers and performers. He doesn't just present them with a fait accompli and tell them, "this is your costume." He prefers to take the time to find out who they are, what they like, what makes them comfortable, what makes them tick, then apply all that information to their costumes.
One of the toughest challenges Alan faced on Zarkana (his first association with Cirque du Soleil) was to mesh the predominance of white in the color palette of some costumes with the darker tones of the show. "It's a paradox, for sure," he says, "but it's also been stimulating and rewarding to come up with an approach that reconciles two such seemingly contradictory elements."
"Details make a costume come to life and give it added depth," he says. "That can be very important to the person wearing it, because it helps animate their performance. Something as apparentlinsignificant as a pocket might give an artist an entire repertoire of small gestures that help to define his or her character – even if it isn't obvious to the audience."
Alan Hranitelj was born in Zagreb, Croatia, but now lives and creates in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Nick Littlemore is a prolific Australian musician, songwriter and producer, perhaps best known as front man of the acclaimed Sydney-based electronic act PNAU, and one half of the electro-pop duo Empire of the Sun. He is also a member of the art-rock band Teenager.
Nick attended the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales, graduating with a degree in Digital Media. The musical influences he cites cover a very broad spectrum that includes Laurie Anderson, John Cage, Lindsay Buckingham, Harry Nilsson, Leonard Cohen and Elvis Presley.
As a producer Nick has worked with Sir Elton John, Groove Armada, Ellie Goulding, Robbie Williams, Flora Purim and many others. Nick has also produced and arranged (with his partner in PNAU, Peter Mayes) all-new versions of classic Elton John songs for an album to be released in 2012. He won his first Australian Record Industry Association Award in 1999 for Best Dance Release with PNAU, and four more ARIAS in 2009 for Empire of the Sun's album Walking on a Dream.
When Cirque du Soleil approached him for this first collaboration, he could easily have chosen to continue touring the world playing to bigger and bigger audiences with his band, but there was something about the prospect and challenge of creating the music for Zarkana that proved to be a bigger draw.
He describes his approach to writing as controlled chaos. "It just happens and I try and embrace whatever is happening with harmony and beauty and some kind of atmosphere," he explains. "Often when I write a tune I'll create the environment first – the atmosphere and the outer edges, if you like. It's like making a sky. Once that environment has been created, you can allow a storm or any other natural event to come into it."
"I wanted the music for Zarkana to reflect the ecstasy of existence," he says. "The sheer joy of being, and the exquisite mechanism of shivers."
Nick Littlemore was born in Sydney, Australia.
Self-taught, and in a state of constant evolution on both the technical and the artistic fronts, Alain Lortie has worked in almost every field of show business, from artist manager to technical director, through operations, touring, and production management.
In 1992, he decided to focus his work exclusively on lighting design. More than 30 years ago, he began working with multi-talented Quebec artists such as Michel Lemieux, Marie Chouinard and Édouard Lock, and has since collaborated on many shows in Quebec, Europe and Asia.
Alain's unique, distinctive approach to color and his sensitivity led to an assignment as Artistic Director for the Fête de la Lumière at the Festival Montréal en Lumière (2001-2003). He has designed the lighting for several productions in Asia including Han Show in Whuan, China (2014) and Shanghai Circus World's Era (2005) as well as many musicals including Mama Love Me Once Again (2011). He has worked with many of Quebec's leading theatre directors, including Robert Lepage, François Girard and Dominic Champagne, as well as Quebec choreographer Louise Lecavalier (So Blue 2013).
His credits also include the musicals Starmania directed by Lewis Furey (1993-1999), the hit musical Notre-Dame de Paris directed by Gilles Maheu (1998), Cavalia (2003), Odysseo (2012), as well as The Tempest (2005) and Beauty and the Beast (2011), both directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. Prior to TORUK – The First Flight, Alain created the lighting design for Midnight Sun, DELIRIUM and Zarkana.
Raymond St-Jean is a film director and multimedia designer. After studying communications at the Université du Québec à Montréal, he began his career directing music videos and short films. Since then, Raymond has directed dramas (Out of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Léa), documentaries (L'oiseau de nuit, Ghost Town, Le Mozart Noir, six installments in the Chamber Music Collection) as well as screen adaptations of various theatre plays and choreographies (Les trous du ciel, Cabaret Neiges Noires, Peepshow). His films have aired on television in Canada and abroad and were featured in a number of festivals. Peepshow won ARTV's "Tremplin pour le monde" award at the 2009 edition of the Montreal International Festival of Films on Art. In 2006, Ghost Town picked up three awards at the Yorkton Film Festival, including the prestigious Golden Sheaf Award of Excellence. Le Mozart Noir won the 2003 Rockie Award at the Banff World Television Festival. Together with Jimmy Lakatos, Raymond created in 2012 the multimedia installation The World of Michel Tremblay, presented at the Musée de la civilisation in Quebec City. For Cirque du Soleil, Raymond St-Jean designed the video projections for ZAIA, Zarkana and Michael Jackson ONE.
Steven Dubuc was still in college when he went to work as a system engineer for a Montreal sound company called Audio Concept in 1980. In 1982 he undertook his first cross-Canada rock'n'roll tour as a sound engineer with the Powder Blues Band, hitting 57 venues from coast to coast in 60 days.
With no formal training as a sound engineer, Steve went on to work for the Moscow Circus as Head of Touring Sound between1987 and 1989. In 1990 he was the Production Soundman for the Canadian national tour of Les Miserables. He returned to Montreal in 1992 to take up duties as Head of Sound at the Montreal Forum and got his first assignment from Cirque du Soleil in 1994, as Technical Director for Alegría. He later became Technical Director (Production & Touring) of the North American tour of Quidam.
Steven's work took him away from Cirque in 1997 to become Project Manager (Audio) for Disneyfest Asia and to work on World Cup soccer installations in France. That led, among other assignments, to the position of Project Manager for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games international broadcast center. He also managed the power systems for Celine Dion's 1999 world tour and worked for the F1 World Championship, providing technical expertise and support for all European races.
Steven Dubuc describes Zarkana as a "highly textured" show. His role is to integrate the sound with the lighting, the video effects, the costumes, the music and band cues triggered by the movements of performers – and at the same time to meet the challenging demands of the theatre.
"When we work in existing theatres we can't knock down walls or hang speakers just anywhere," he says. "On the other hand, we are able to take advantage of all the sound equipment that is already in place, and that's a huge help in large spaces with many levels and balconies."
Steven Dubuc was born in Beloeil, Quebec.
A gymnast at the age of six, Florence Pot completed her university degree in physical education in France and went on to specialize in sports psychology. She decided to move to Montreal in 1991 primarily to continue her academic career.
She studied for her master's degree in sports psychology at the University of Montreal while working as a coach at the club Gymnix de Montréal. She returned to France two years later to choreograph performances for the French Gymnastics Federation.
Motivated by a lack of professional challenges in France and a strong desire to work at Cirque du Soleil, Florence came back to Canada in 1997 to renew her network of contacts with the company and to choreograph performances by Canadian competitive gymnasts.
In 2001, she accepted a position scouting acrobatic talent for Cirque's casting department and in 2003 she became the company's Head Scout. In 2006 she accepted the invitation to become Acrobatic Performance Designer on ZED (Cirque's resident show in Tokyo) because she wanted to get closer to the creation process and be part of it from start to finish. She reprised the same role on TOTEM and Zarkana.
"What interests me most is the emotion that emerges from the performance of an artist on stage," says Florence. "The acrobatic framework of Zarkana was born in a world that was firmly rooted in the circus, where virtuosity cohabits with madness. We were inspired by traditional circus sideshows to highlight the crazy and decadent side of Zark's world."
Florence Pot was born in Rouen, France.
Eleni Uranis joined Cirque du Soleil in 1989 as Assistant to Costume Designer Dominique Lemieux. She then worked on various shows, where she was responsible for materials research, fittings and artistic quality control. She then designed costumes for the show Pomp Duck and Circumstance, performed in Hamburg (Germany) from 1997 to 1999. In 2002, she worked alongside world-renowned designer Thierry Mugler to design the costumes for Zumanity. In 2004, Eleni Uranis' career took a sharp turn when she joined the Cirque du Soleil make-up workshop, where she would see her ideas brought to life by the artists of Dralion. Between 2004 and 2006, Eleni Uranis assisted Make-up Designer Nathalie Gagné with several shows and, in 2005, she designed the make-up for Reflections in Blue, the show Cirque produced for the opening ceremonies of the XI FINA World Aquatic Championships. With KURIOS – Cabinet of curiosities, Eleni is designing the make-up for her seventh Cirque du Soleil production after Dralion, Wintuk, ZED, Banana Shpeel, Zarkana and Amaluna.

Is Ethanol a Cost Effective Solution to Climate Change?
Ethanol has been strongly supported as a solution to U.S. energy security, and recently, reducing carbon emissions. Historic Government subsidies and blending mandates made ethanol one of the most successful renewable energy sources in the U.S. Although the Government subsidies expired a year ago, increased ethanol is now being advocated possibly as a part of the EPA's developing climate policy. Is increased corn ethanol a reasonably economical solution to reducing future U.S. carbon emissions?
Brief History of U.S. Ethanol Blending – Ethanol has been used as motor fuel-component since the dawn of the automobile. Until the 1990's ethanol use was limited due to relatively poor economics compared to petroleum fuels. Besides having a lower vehicle fuel efficiency than petroleum (lower unit volume energy content), ethanol is corrosive and requires special handling. These factors further increase ethanol's production-consumption costs. The Clean Air Act was amended to require reformulated gasoline 'oxygenate' blending during the early 1990's. Although the oxygenate mandate was initially met by blending methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), increasing ground water contamination issues totally replaced MTBE with ethanol by the early 2000's.
The oxygenate blending requirement was effectively replaced by the first 'renewable fuel standard' (RFS1) created in 2005. The RFS1 mandated blending up to 7.5 billion gallon per year ethanol by 2012. The required blending level was further increased in 2007 when the new 'RFS2' was established. Refer to the following bar chart:
Data: RFS2 is from EISA (P.L. 110-140), Section 202. EtOH – ethanol, BioDsl – biodiesel
Conventional corn ethanol mandated blending has effectively tripled since 2005 and is scheduled to increase up to 15 billion gallons/yr. in 2015. Cellulosic (advanced) ethanol biofuel was mandated at increasing volumes beginning 2010 under the RFS2. The Ethanol Industrial, however, struggles to produce cellulosic ethanol at levels approaching the original RFS2 targets due to ongoing technology and developmental gaps.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's welcoming the Daily's newest addition to the News Team.
Summit Countians and Millions of Summit Readers, meet Ben Trollinger: our new managing editor coming from the Williamson County Sun.
C'mon over and welcome the guy! Give him a good ol' Summit What's Up and introduce yourself, he is after all the new leader of the lowly scribes serving up a fresh platter of news to High Country folk every day.
Speaking of fresh news, here's a little something to laugh about as your coffee cools down or while your car warms up:
Public nudity is now illegal in San Francisco, as reported by Reuters Wednesday.
San Fran city leaders gave the final approval Tuesday to ban public nudity, an effort aimed to limit displays of nakedness that some residents and business owners say have gone too far in the famously tolerant city.
Bummer for the activists nearby as local sheriff deputies stood by with blankets to cover up their assertions of "body freedom."
As not reported by Reuters (or anyone else for that matter, as the upcoming statement reflects the speculations coming from your's truly), an exodus of nudists began Wednesday.
Dudes in the buff came out in masses to display their ruffled anger. Organizers of the walk-out said they hoped to find refuge in an area more inclined to accept their lifestyle.
Some newly nudists said they came out just to "see how it felt to be naked in public," and "to have a last hurrah with fellow San Franciscans."
Where the nudists will go, there's no telling - likely not here though, it's a bit too chilly.
We out.

DENVER (AP) — Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. is adding catering service.
The Denver-based chain says its catering service will be available in Colorado starting Monday and will roll out to all of its markets in coming months.
Chipotle already has been selling mix-and-match "burritos by the box" for smaller catering orders. But the catering service is designed to feed 20 to 200 people, with each person able to customize their meals, much as they would at a Chipotle restaurant.
To kick off the service, Colorado customers who order catering for at least 20 people for Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 3 can redeem their receipts for two free entrees by Feb. 28. Catering customers who return their serving stands also can receive a free entree for later.

—David Aune, the Walter
Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins Emeritus at the University of
Notre Dame, to give annual Thompson Lecture on February 25—
NJ, February 12, 2013–Dr. David Aune, the Walter Professor of

February 25, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Lounge of the Mackay Campus Center.
The title of his lecture is "The Bible in the Church."
The lecture will consider some of the more
important ways in which the Bible functions in a variety of Christian traditions,
including both Catholic and Protestant (liturgical and non-liturgical),
including the Bible as icon in both the church and society; some of the ways
that scripture is read and used in worship (including the use and rejection of
lectionaries); the role of the Bible in worship as a lieu de mémoire ("site of memory") i.e., as a source of communal
memory; the role of the church in biblical interpretation; and ways in which
the relationship between scripture and tradition are understood.
Aune taught at the University of Notre
Dame for thirteen years. Prior to that he taught at Loyola University as
professor of New Testament and Christian origins, and director of the Graduate
Program in Theology. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago, the University
of Minnesota, Wheaton Graduate School, and Wheaton College.
He has published Apocalypticism, Prophecy, and Magic in Early Christianity: Collected
Essays (WUNT 199, Mohr Siebeck, 2006; American paperback edition, Baker
Academic, 2008), The Westminster Dictionary
of New Testament and Early Christian Literature and Rhetoric (John Knox
Press, 2003), Revelation 17–22, World
Biblical Commentary 52C (Thomas Nelson, 1998), Revelation 6–19, World Biblical Commentary 52B (Thomas Nelson,
1998), and Revelation 1–5, World
Biblical Commentary 52A (Thomas Nelson, 1997).
Aune was elected a fellow of The Norwegian
Academy of Science and Letters (Det Norske Videnskaps-Akademi) in 2009, a
fellow of The Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (Det Kongelige Norske
Videnskabers Selskab) in 2001, honored with a Festschrift: The New
Testament and Early Christian Literature in Greco-Roman Context: Studies in
Honor of David E. Aune, (edited by John Fotopoulos, Supplements to Novum Testamentum, 122, Brill, 2006),
and named honorary president for life of the Chicago Society of Biblical
Research in October 2012.
The Reverend
Alexander Thompson Memorial Lecture was established to honor Alexander
Thompson, a 1909 graduate of the Seminary, with the broad definition of dealing
with "some aspect of the Bible." Past lecturers have included Phyllis Trible, Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Hans Wilhelm Frei, Elaine Pagels, Hans Dieter Betz, Carol Ann Newsom, Victor Furnish, and many other notable scholars.
The lecture is free and open to the public. For

Nine UWA Tigers named to All-Super Region squad
Published: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
LIVINGSTON | Nine players from the Gulf South Conference champion University of West Alabama football team were named to the Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region Two Team.
Record-setting place kicker Ryne Smith, defensive end Ridge Wilson and linebacker Deon Lacey were named to the first team. Offensive guard Andy Nations, defensive tackle Willie Packer and strong safety Otha Foster were named to the second team.
The first-team and second-team selections advance to a national ballot from which the 2012 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America team will be named later this month.

Homeless man charged with raping child in woodsBy Mary Kilpatrick
Staff Writer
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 10:55 a.m.
A homeless man living in the woods near Thibodaux is accused of raping a pre-teen twice within weeks, police said Monday.
The child's gender and age are not being released because police believe it would help reveal the victim's identity, Thibodaux Police spokesman David Melancon said.
Brian Stickel, 49, lured the child into the woods near their house Friday afternoon with a promise that he would teach him or her how to shoot a bow and arrow, police said. Once in the woods, Stickel abused the child sexually.
Stickel had abused the child once before at the child's home a few weeks earlier, police said. He had also given the pre-teen money.
Stickel was booked into the Lafourche Parish jail on two counts of aggravated rape. He is being held on a $300,000 bond.

I need to change some of the rooms on a floor plan and then use a corrsponding shp-file in QGIS.
When I delete rooms, everythings works fine. However, if I add a room this is not registered in the shp-file. A clue: the added room stays red, while the lines of the floor plan are all in white. Do I somehow have to change the status of the new room (form red to white) before I save?
Grateful for any help!

WASHINGTON (January 29, 2013)--The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday approved President Barack Obama's nomination of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to be the next secretary of state and the full Senate followed suit later in the day.
With no opposition to the choice, the panel approved Kerry by voice vote Tuesday and Kerry, 69, was later confirmed by a vote of 94-3.
Mr. Obama chose the five-term Massachusetts Democrat and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is stepping down after four years.
Kerry has served on the Foreign Relations panel for 28 years and headed the committee for the past four.

Fla. charity figures gave money before arrests
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 7:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 7:51 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — New campaign finance records are showing that those linked to an alleged gambling scandal pumped nearly $100,000 into campaign accounts this year.
State authorities in March arrested nearly 60 people linked to a purported veterans charity accused of setting up illegal gambling rooms.
But in the days and weeks before the arrests those linked to the charity were still giving lots of money to those who had the power to regulate them or put them out of business.
Some politicians, including Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, returned checks days after the arrests. But other politicians have not returned the money.
Other legislators said on Thursday that they were unaware that they accepted money from those connected to Allied Veterans of the World.

A woman told deputies that her son screamed and apparently scared off a burglar early Monday.
About 5:20 a.m., the woman said she heard her front door opening and thought it was her husband coming into their Judith Lane home, an incident report states. The woman said she heard her son scream, and the front door slammed.
The woman told the deputy that when she got to the front window, she saw a figure run around the side of the house toward the end of Judith Lane, the report states.
A K-9 unit responded but was unable to locate a suspect.

"Fun Read"
I bought this title during one of the sales. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I'm glad I took the risk. The characters were very different from most novels. We have islanders, a corrupt doctor and, naturally, the sequined love nun.
Pilot Tucker Case is a miscreant who has a hard time following rules. As a result he is persuaded to fly the pink plane of Mary Jean Cosmetics while under the influence in order to help a young lady (and I use the term loosely) join the mile high club. From there it's all downhill for Tucker. He's disgraced and ends up on an island in Micronesia. Getting there is difficult and along the way we meet navigator Kimi, who has some unusual behaviors of his own. We also fall in with love Roberto, a talking fruit bat. We cheer on the Shark People, indigenous to the island. We cross our fingers that the doctor and his amoral wife get what they deserve. And we hope that the ghost of Capt. Vincent Bennidetti, USAF, gives Tucker enough guidance (but not too much) so that he doesn't screw it up. Many times, however, Tucker comes close.
This isn't a thriller in the traditional sense of one. But it has thriller plot lines liberally seasoned with humor. The reluctant hero theme is evident, but Tucker is charming, although stupid in some places. He learns and grows and so we stick with him.
The performance is well done. The writing is good. Go on. Take the same chance I did. you won't be disappointed.
"redeeming light thriller"
Entertaining thriller that doesn't get stuck taking itself seriously. Redemption story, so takes awhile to start liking the "bumbling hero". Adult content -- not for the family car trip. At about $1/hr, worth the price or credit.
"I Liked It"
Island of the Sequined Love Nun is a cute story. This is what I've come to expect from Christopher Moore; a light amusing story revolving around quirky characters. I think it's worth the download.
"This one is a keeper."
I really enjoyed this book. I instantly fell in love with the characters, which works out great if your a Christopher Moore fan because he likes to use his characters in multiple books. I think this is kind of a bonus for the reader.
"Funny and whitty"
It was my first book by the author and I had no expectations - I was very happily surprised to find out the story is not at all linear and obvious and the writting is clever and funny all the way. I will definetely search for more titles from C. Moore!
The sory is not basic and the writing is really nice. It keeps you up and running all along - and smiling!
He got the character very well and was excellent doing the voices of the secondary ones too. He keeps up the pace of the story, no slowing down, very good.
"Have you considered living in the tropics?"
"Made me laugh out loud"
I took a chance from my normal category and got a home run. This story was funny, the characters were interesting and the performance was great. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for some fun.
"Not What You Should Expect From Christopher Moore"
Most of Christopher Moore's books are great satire. This one is just dumb. I am sorry that I wasted my time with it.
"Another great Moore book!"
This was my second Moore book (after A Dirty Job).
He's a very fun writer, and his books are compelling and well crafted. I absolutely recommend this one and can't wait to hear more.
"Gods & talking bats!!!"
Oh, yes.....this was just plain fun, from start to finish
The plot was great, and all the characters were full bodied, and flushed out, they cam alive!
When Beth is with the old cannibal
Laugh, of course, laugh out loud!
This is one listen I would recommend to everyone. Moves along at a good pace, and gives you good laughs!
"Very Fun Story!"
It's in the top 3 or 4, without question.
*Spoiler Alert*
When Tuck steals a jet.
The narrator really nails many of the characters on an emotional level. His voice conveys their emotions and mannerisms extremely well.
Beth, because watching her devious mind work would be enlightening. And besides, there's nothing wrong with having a lovely lady on your arm at dinner!
Christopher Moore is fantastic and this story doesn't disappoint!

CONCORD -- An effort to create a district in which downtown property owners would tax themselves to raise money for improvements downtown has lost steam, according to the city.
The Property Based Improvement District, essentially a fund paid into and controlled by property owners, was pitched as a way to pay for programs to attract businesses, clean up the streets and beef up security downtown in the wake of the elimination of redevelopment agencies, which once paid for such things.
But after months of discussions, a number of property owners rejected the idea and the city is abandoning the project for now.
"We didn't get the level of support we were comfortable with," said Ed Andrews, whose family owns all the properties on the stretch of Mt. Diablo Street from Willow Pass Road to Salvio Street as well as the nearby Chevron station.
The city, along with Andrews and Jeff Woods of Salvio Pacheco Square, had selected an 18-block area to comprise the district. It was bordered by Pacheco Street to the north, East Street to the east, the BART station to the south and Galindo Street to the west, and included an estimated budget of $381,347 to pay for cleaning services, a safety ambassador, marketing and branding, repairs, special events and an executive director, among other things.
A 2008 feasibility study by the city found support for the district among property owners, but the downturn in the economy has changed some minds, according to Andrews and the city. Meetings with property owners in 2012 found that many did not think the timing was right, said Andrews, who hopes the idea will return.
"I'd like to think at some point it will happen," said Andrews.
Meanwhile, the city is moving forward with a tourism-based improvement district to include local hotels, according to John Montagh, economic development and housing manager with the city. In addition, the city's car dealerships will soon unveil new signage for an "auto district," according to Montagh.

KAPALUA, Hawaii - Dad will make it home for Halloween.
And, yes, Eagle-Vail's Josiah Middaugh is planning on going as Elliott from the movie "E.T.," with his three youngsters, who are doubtless pumped for tonight's candy haul. Middaugh could also dress up as one of the word's best off-road triathletes.
That's because Middaugh, 34, finished second in Sunday's Xterra World Championship triathlon in Kapalua, Hawaii, just 50 seconds behind Olympic silver-medalist Javier Gomez, to cap the best season of Eagle-Vail resident's accomplished career.
"It's very exciting," Middaugh said Tuesday. "It's such a competitive field. Any one of a dozen guys could have won the race. I was definitely fortunate to be second. I definitely went for the win. Second place is always tough in a way. You think what could have been, but I'm really excited where my fitness is and how far I've come. This is the best ending to my season."
Yes, it is. Combine second at Worlds, along with his eighth and the most-precious Xterra victory of his career last month, the Xterra U.S. Championship, and 2012 has been one for the books.
New approach
By now, no one is surprised that Middaugh does well in Xterra events. But, he says, what's taken him to a new level in the premiere events like a national title and a second-place finish at Worlds is a different training regimen.
"I trained more specifically for Xterra events," he said. "And the results came through in the big races. I mapped it out a year in advance."
That meant no more road triathlons. Not only did Middaugh ditch the road triathlons, but he did specific training for the World course in Maui.
It also meant improving the swimming portion of the triathlon. Middaugh has often joked that he pretty much hoped not to drown during the 1-mile swim and then make up the time on the bike and running portions of a triathlon.
"I've got a great group of swimmers at the Eagle-Vail pool in the summer and the Westin pool in the winter," Middaugh said. "They're good guys. They push me a lot. They're ex-college swimmers."
Of course, Middaugh wasn't exactly expecting the after-effects of a tsunami last weekend in Hawaii after the earthquake off the coast of British Columbia. The postcard blue Pacific turned nasty and muddy brown Sunday.
"I had an idea I was doing OK, based on some of the people around me," he said. "It was the roughest open-water swim I've ever had."
Maintenance issues
Gomez is superb swimmer, regardless of the conditions, and led Middaugh by 3 minutes, 43 seconds as both moved to their bikes. Middaugh had planned for that, telling his wife, Ingrid, not to be worried if he was 4 minutes out after the swim.
That's because, Middaugh knows how to ride a bike.
"Right away, I got into a rhythm and knew I was making time on people," he said. "I had people on the course, yelling out splits."
Middaugh nabbed South Africa's Conrad Stoltz, who has been his nemesis in American Xterra events. Middaugh was closing on Gomez in overall time, but then disaster struck.
With 2 miles to go on the bike, his rear wheel fell off. His pedals simply stopped. Middaugh said he was quick to fix the wheel - "It was probably 15 seconds," but it was a momentum killer.
Despite the mishap, Middaugh still won the biking leg of the event in 1 hour, 23 minutes, 34 seconds, a little less than a minute ahead of Stolz and nearly 4 minutes faster than Gomez.
Don't look back
One of the many reasons Gomez ended up on the podium in London at the Olympics is that he can run as well. That proved decisive.
Middaugh finished fifth in the 10-kilometer run, and just like the biking, he credited that to where he lives.
"The Vail Valley is a perfect environment to be able to go out and just go uphill and use the ski resorts of Beaver Creek and Vail," he said. "In the winter, I run up Simba two or three times and use the lift to download."
Despite that training, simply ridiculous to most mortals, Middaugh knew that Gomez had him on the run. The key was for Middaugh to run his race.
"I could make up a little time when (the trail) was steep or technical," he said. "Otherwise, he was just too fast. At the same time, I didn't know who was coming behind me. There are guys at this race from the (International Triathlon Union) who can run 10K in 30 minutes. I still had to be fast to stay in second."
He did. And, while the Xterra season is done, a finish like this, as well as his win at nationals, has Middaugh already pumped for next season.
"You don't learn anything from winning a race," he said. "I felt I learned a lot from this. Nobody's invincible. I'm going to use my second-place finish as motivation for next year."
But for now, Dad's going trick-or-treating Sullivan, 8, Porter, 7, and Larsen, 2, Middaugh tonight.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- More training is on the way for Richmond County deputies. The first round began Tuesday.
Sheriff Richard Roundtree says he wants to put a priority on getting the best possible training for deputies and that will start from the top.
Bill Westfall, president of the Gallagher-Westfall Group, is spending his week in Augusta with RCSO deputies.
"You've got to embrace change. You've got to look at things -- see if we can use it, if we can't, discard it and move on as quickly as possible," Westfall said.
That's just a piece of the message he passed along to leaders in the Richmond County Sheriff's Office this week.
Chief Deputy Patrick Clayton says, "In order to have a great agency, we've got to have good leaders."
And he says the first step to effective crime fighting in the field is training, which deputies can expect a lot more of as the agency works toward accreditation.
"The sheriff and I are big advocates of training in all forms," he said.
But this four-day training is about more than just learning about new leadership strategies, he says. It's about changing the culture of the Sheriff's Office, starting at the top with leadership.
"We're going through a culture change because we're a new administration now after it's been run a certain way for 28 years. They have to have that training to reinforce the change to change the culture of the agency," Clayton said.
The big shift in the Sheriff's Office has been the push toward community policing, a policy that leadership trainer Westfall says is the best way to get the results you want.
"Great cops have always been community based. I was a state trooper in Alaska and my backup was 160 miles away, and I learned very early my backup was my public," Westfall said.

Carla Welborn was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. As part of her sentence, she was ordered to pay $329,702 in restitution, according to information from James Cross, spokesman for the U.S. attorney of Kansas.
The crime occurred between January 2009 and January 2012 while Welborn worked at the Credit Union of Leavenworth County at the Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth.
In November, Welborn pleaded guilty to the single count of embezzlement from a credit union.
According to a written plea agreement in the case, Welborn took money from the vault of the credit union's branch office on the VA grounds.
She also reportedly targeted the accounts of credit union members who didn't receive monthly balance statements as well as those who lived out of town or were ill. She redirected mailed statements so account holders wouldn't notice they were missing funds.
If affected account holders requested statements, she sent them fraudulent documents, according to the written plea agreement.

OAKLAND -- Detroit Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque expressed regret Monday for kissing the ball that he had fielded on a Yoenis Cespedes grounder in the ninth inning in Game 2 of the American League Division Series. The A's also appeared ready to move on from the mini-controversy.
The A's had runners on first and third with two out in a tie game Sunday when Cespedes grounded out to Alburquerque, who kissed the ball before he underhanded it to first base. After the game, A's outfielder Josh Reddick called it "unprofessional."
Alburquerque said the move was not meant to offend anyone and was done in the excitement of the moment. Asked if his teammates talked to him about the kiss, Alburquerque said, "Yes, but they knew I just did it in emotion of the game. I respect Cespedes as a player. I was just excited to get a big out to help our team win."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Alburquerque was not trying to show anyone up with the kiss.
"Everybody always says I'm from the old school, so I'd have probably hugged it at first," Leyland said jokingly. "No, I don't think it was the right thing to do. I will not try to defend it. I will say that I can assure everybody, including the Oakland A's, that Alburquerque did nothing intentionally to offend the Oakland A's."
Injured third baseman Brandon Inge, who knew Alburquerque from his time with the Tigers, believed the reliever didn't mean anything by his unexpected display of emotion.
"Still, you don't do those things," Inge said. "You're up two games, don't give the other team an edge at all. You just don't do it. You ride out what you've been doing."
A's outfielder Jonny Gomes seemed ready to move on.
"I could really care less," Gomes said. "I just let the baseball gods take care of that type of stuff."
Oakland struck out 14 times in Game 1, with Tigers ace Justin Verlander fanning 11. Detroit right-hander Doug Fister had eight strikeouts in Game 2, and reliever Phil Coke had one.
The high strikeout totals seem par for the course for an A's team that had 1,387 in the regular season, an A.L. record. But their free-swinging style also resulted in 195 home runs.
"It's worked well for us," Melvin said. "It's not like the last day you're going to say today let's work on cutting our swing down and choke up on two strikes."
A's first baseman Brandon Moss has four strikeouts so far this series but isn't adjusting his style now.
"I'm definitely not going to go up there and just because they're pitching me away, start flicking balls the other way,"
Griffin won his first six decisions and posted a 1.94 ERA over his first 11 starts. But in his past four starts, his ERA has been 7.27. That slide began when he allowed three homers in a 12-2 loss at Detroit and suffered his first loss.
"I just have to go out there and get the job done," Griffin said. "I haven't been doing that lately, but I'm looking to turn it around."

Morning all,
Welcome aboard Alex. Yes, we might be a bit more serious about running on this thread.
10.5 sluggish miles in the hills this morning. Still recuperating.
Thanks Fred. It sounds like you had a good, long hike, or walk one day on top of the running. That pic you posted: the Point Lobos portion of the run looked like that. I've been there but without any cars, it was serene and beautiful.
3 recovery miles Monday. Made myself do it. Pretty fatigued yesterday, no run.
Tigger, that update is encouraging, and I especially think that hill workout with walking back down will be beneficial. Great to hear from you. Loved that washing machine line!
Sierra, we know here how well you run, and it was pretty clear you were more focused on the group run than you were on putting the hammer down. So despite that, you did pretty well. The rest of you know Ileneforward who posts on the other forums and used to post here. She ran the entire marathon and reported that it was windy too. I hate running in wind. Nice going Sierra.
Simon, it sounds like you just persevered through that rainy and cold half. Good you got to spend time with your son that way.
Today I took Riblet to school, walked over to his school track, set my stuff down, did a 2.5 mile warm-up, picked up my stuff, walked to the car and drove home. Some days you have it, and some days you don't. I didn't expect to be tired today but I was. Here is my week so far: Sunday: 8 easy Monday: 3.5 easy Tuesday: 5 easy Wednesday: 3 slow, followed by flex/core workout at the Y (jogged .5 at the Y) I am going back to the track tomorrow and try it again. Spareribs
Welcome, Alex.
Run 1 Hr., Basketball 2 Hr.
Run - 2.5 Hr. slow
Walk - 1 Hr.
Rest day for me. After 3 consecutive hard days: a "Ribs" workout (run to race, race, run home), plus 2 doubles and I'm shot. Being 60 sucks!
Made up for my aborted track workout yesterday. Today I achieved my initial goal to get to 6 x 800 with a 200 jog recovery, nice and easy though. My aim is to get this to 6 x 1000 by the fall, little by little converting the 800's to oneK's.
Off to Chicago to work all day there tomorrow. Spareribs
Thanks Ribs, very much. Glad you had a better workout today. There are days when you know there's nothing you can do but to pack it in. Have a good trip.
KS, sounds like you're still very much in recovery. I'm wondering how long to wait before doing a half-marathon--there's one coming up in June, which may be too soon, not sure. It's a trail run, so hilly. The others I'm thinking about are in November (Big Sur and Santa Barbara).
Now, if I can just figure out how this "avatar" stuff works here---I need a picture that doesn't squash me when I upload at the required pixals.
Welcome Alex.
I feel like this week should be an easy one because of the race effort. So, today I'll walk three miles just as soon as I walk the dog. Yesterday was 4.2, easy. So, so far 18.2 for the week. Tomorrow I'll go 6 or 7.
Sierra - I wouldn't think June would be a problem to run a half marathon given you don't do a lot of "A" racing between now and then.
Yes, I'm still sort of a recovery mode. 5.75 ez this morning and 5.75 brisk tonight.
I think I will consider that trail half-marathon, KS. It's the Trail Crest Half Marathon, held in Santa Monica Mountains Nat'l Recreation Area. I'm feeling OK this week. 5.5 miles yesterday on the roads and fields at work. I'm always glad when I can run more than 5 miles at work. My left hamstring is feeling stiff (not painful really.) I think this is due to stretching a little a few weeks ago after a run. I haven't stretched for years, so I think that was a mistake. The stiffness, though, is waning with each passing day. On the 9 mile run, I didn't feel it at all (until the next day).
Though it's the smallest picture imaginable, my avatar pic is from the Big Sur marathon, though it's not during the 9 mile race. I was running with my co-worker (for encouragement, though I don't think he needed any) in the last mile of the marathon. I have a smile on my face because I finished the 9 mile run an hour before, and that great crowd was still there at the end. One day soon I'll dust off my photobucket skills and post more discernable pics.
One interesting thing about my race that day is that the Garmin 405 watch, as I've read elsewhere, recorded less distance than I actually ran (9 miles.) It was slightly more than a quarter mile off. The time exactly matched (I was right at the start line). I've read that the watch records less distance if there are turns on a course. I've wondered why my pace during my daily runs doesn't correspond very well to the final time and # of miles. It does make sense when taking into account that the watch could be off a quarter mile off or so.
It's good to hear that you are feeling good, Lauren. What is it like running in the "fields"? That hamstring should heal up pretty quick. I'd be glad to see more pics of Big Sur. (They don't have to be Galen Rowell quality).:)
I am off to the mountains.
Sierra, you might try updating the Garmin software by downloading and reinstalling the latest version. I have no experience with this, but others on the running forums are always encouraged to do that with similar problems.
No running for me yesterday as I was in Chicago filming a training video. Hard project and a long day, but it was probably my best professional work. Spareribs
Exhausted from that session on Friday, I went out yesterday to run and stumbled around for 1.1 miles and walked back to the car and went home.
Today I went out for a LR and managed 16 very smooth miles in around 2-1/2 hours. That's my longest P.S. Spareribs
Ribs, a May thread was started and replied over there. --
I beat my previous, personal record today. I don't know what my chip time is yet, but my gun time is 47:00 for the May Day Race 10K. I came in first in my age category. This was my first race at altitude. I think I can break 46 minutes next month at my 10K in Middleborough, MA.
Paul, a new month of May thread for "50 plus.." was started, so people are no longer posting here. You may want to copy your post about your race and post it there.

America reacted with shock and horror to the murders of 20 young children and six educators two weeks ago at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Then, in the days that followed, many Americans tuned in to "Criminal Minds" and "Homeland," bought tickets to watch "Jack Reacher" and "Django Unchained" and settled in front of their game systems to play "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" and "Halo 4."
Along with gun control, school security and mental health care, the discussion in the wake of the Dec. 14 mass shooting has included the role of violence in entertainment media. Many area residents agree those images could have some influence on real-life acts of violence, and a number believe the responsibility for properly dealing with that content lies with parents and caregivers rather than those who produce it.

"I really don't remember seeing all the violence on TV when I was a kid as much as I do now," said Stacia Dyar, 24, of Marietta.
Dyar said she's careful about what her 4-year-old son, who is curious about fighting and guns, watches.
"I try not to let him watch anything that has too much action in it, because he'll want to try and do it," she said.

Warren Township resident Kayla Chisolm, meanwhile, said her 5- and 4-year-old children watch their father play video games featuring zombies and regularly view "The Avengers," a PG-13 movie that showcases superheroes battling aliens wreaking large-scale destruction in New York City.
"It doesn't do anything to them," she said. "They know the difference between fantasy and reality."
Of course, Chisolm said she won't let her children watch just anything, especially horror violence with blood and gore.
"No 'Children of the Corn.' No Chucky," she said, referring to the villain in the "Child's Play" films.
Chisolm said the key is for parents to guide their children so they know right from wrong.
She bristled at some early suggestions that the actions of the shooter in Connecticut were driven in part by a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism that has no clear connection with violence, and an interest in violent video games. She said her brother has the same diagnosis and also frequently plays such games but is not violent.
"He knows the difference," Chisolm said.
Marietta resident George Litman, 48, writes a movie and pop culture blog called "The Great White Dope." He enjoys action and horror movies but doesn't deny a possible connection between violence on the screen and violence in the real world.
"Someone that's easily impressionable would see that and think that's the way that you get what you want in the world, is violence," he said.
Parents need to explain to their children "this is not the way of the world," Litman said. "They just use that in TV and movies for entertainment purposes."
People who watch a movie like Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" - which is rated R for, among other things "strong graphic violence throughout" - are looking for escapism, not inspiration for how to harm others, Litman said.
"It's all in how you approach it as an individual," he said. "There has to be special consideration made for people who take things too literally."
That's where family and friends come in, Litman said. And while he doesn't favor government restrictions on the content of movies, Litman said Hollywood could do more to educate potential viewers, with a more detailed rating system or perhaps clips prior to screenings that emphasize the difference between violence on screen and in reality.
Video games have long included some form of violence or another, but advances in technology have caused them to evolve from digitized monsters flattening or disappearing to realistic bodies dying in all sorts of macabre fashions. Of the 11 entries in the Nielsen's Dec. 8 "Top 10 Games to Buy Next" survey, nine involved shooting or otherwise killing people, zombies or aliens.
Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at The Ohio State University, told the Associated Press recently about a study he conducted that indicated people who played violent video games three days in a row showed more aggressive and hostile behavior than people who weren't playing. The effect of playing such games for years is uncertain, Bushman said, because testing that "isn't practical or ethical."
Ted Miller, 54, of Moss Run, said he doesn't allow his 11-year-old son to have "war-related" video games, although he has played some at friends' houses.
"When you play a video game that has violence in it, you have no consequences," he said. "Some kids can handle it who are a little more mature, and some kids can't."
They also monitor the movies and TV shows he watches to make sure they aren't too violent. But that doesn't mean the boy is unfamiliar with guns.
"He loves hunting and he loves guns, but he's a mature individual," Miller said.
Miller thinks Hollywood could dial back the violence some but probably won't as long as people keep buying tickets.
"They're in the industry to make money, and that's what sells," he said. "If nobody's going to watch them, eventually they're going to start making (less or non-violent) movies that people watch."
Marietta resident Ron Beardsley, 53, said he doesn't want to see increased government regulations of what can be shown on TV, but he does think guidelines like rating systems are a good idea. And it might be helpful for networks to return to showing more adult content at later hours.
Still, "my wife and I have to make the final decision" on what their daughter watched when she was younger, Beardsley said.
"We usually tried to first see what it was, if it was appropriate for her," he said. "I would hope people would take more time to see what they show on TV before they let their children watch it."
The Associated Press contributed.

MARTINEZ -- Richmond High School gang rape trial defendant Marcelles Peter told police that he touched the victim's "private area," but he didn't foresee the girl getting raped and beaten, according to a police interrogation video played to the 20-year-old Pinole man's jury.
"I don't think I should be in trouble for this because I didn't know what was going to happen," a 17-year-old Peter told detectives in 2009, a few days after a 16-year-old sophomore was raped and beaten on the school's campus after leaving a homecoming dance.
Peter turned himself into police after a warrant was issued for his arrest based on another minor's statement that Peter bragged about touching the girl, whom police found mostly nude and near death from alcohol poisoning, hypothermia and head trauma under a campus picnic table on Oct. 24, 2009.
Peter's former neighbor, Ari Morales, and Manuel Ortega have been convicted of gang rape, and two other men are awaiting trial on lesser sexual assault charges. Peter and his 22-year-old co-defendant Jose Montano, of Richmond, face life in prison if convicted as charged by their respective juries at their dual jury trial.
Peter's police interviews covered Monday and Tuesday were the first pieces of evidence that Montano's jury was excluded from hearing. Dual juries, while rare, are used when certain evidence is only admissible as to one defendant.
Montano's jury did not hear how Peter told police that "(Montano) had sexual relations with her, but I only saw it for a second."
Peter told police that after being turned away from the dance, he was drinking at the school's basketball courts with Morales and Montano. There, a guy on a bike told them there was drunk girl in the courtyard who was "having sex with everybody."
The scene he soon came across, Peter said, was not what he expected. The girl appeared to be dead before he saw her vomit. Someone shouted out that people were welcome to do what they wanted to her. In response, another yelled that if they did anything, it would be rape.
After repeatedly denying touching the victim, Peter demonstrated to detectives how he quickly swiped his fingers across the girl's vagina. To his horror, moments later, Ortega tried to force the girl to give him oral sex and kicked her in the head when she couldn't perform. Peter thought he was going to kill her.
"I fondled her or whatever you want to call it, and then I backed off," Peter said. "Right before my eyes, everything goes nasty."
Peter denied throughout the interview that he ever bragged to anyone about touching the girl.
"I would not be proud of that," Peter said. "Whoever that guy is, I say rot in hell. I am not that guy."
As Peter's attorney, Gordon Brown, questioned Peter's main interrogator, Detective Stina Johanson, his questions focused on the ruses that the officers used to obtain Peter's statement.
"No matter how many times Mr. Peter denied it, you weren't accepting it, right?" Brown asked Tuesday.
"I did not believe him, correct," Johanson said.

Based on recent tragic events in the community, a group of local individuals have determined to do something about it, and that take-action approach is going to start with a meeting this Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the PAC at RVMS/HS.
Called a meeting of the minds, the intent is to bring together as many people from the community as is possible to talk about suicide and what can be done to communicate with our kids that it does not have to come to that decision.
Whether one is a parent, a teen, a community leader or a neighbor, all are encouraged to come this meeting to help start the conversation about what resources are available and what issues may be causing our kids to make this decision.
The intent of the meeting is not to place blame or point fingers at anyone but to move beyond all of that to try and get at the true heart of the problem and then to come up with solutions that can prevent this from happening again.

Liverpool Message Board
Aspas in.. Writing on the Wall?
Liverpool will agree to approximately 8M Euros for Iago Aspas of Celta Vigo.. He's a 25 year old striker who can play all 3 spots across the front, and is compared to a Suarez because of his work rate, with clinical finishing. Other clubs were in for him, so good move along with Kolo Toure being signed..
This however, unfortunately starts to become a preventative measure and writing on the wall, as Luis Suarez was quoted today saying "I would have a hard time saying no to (FAIL) Madrid. I've worked all my life to reach this level and the English press is making me tired" ..
I've read in the Spanish news that Madrid are more than happy to meet his 40M clause, rather than Cavani's 62M, and might even toss in a player, but as for Suarez saying he's tired of the press, he has nobody to blame but himself, and if that is a deciding factor for him, after all the club has done, especially after his recent, stupid indiscretion, biting another human being, then let him go screw around in Spain... At least Torres said he wanted to compete for trophies and titles, and he's done so, albeit at his own personal expense, but Suarez has no right to blame anyone or anything...
Let's see how it plays out because I think we'll have final say unless Suarez puts in a request, but having Iago Aspas to the mix is good, though I have to say the timing of it all, with Sturridge getting carried off today and scans on an ankle injury tomorrow, isn't ideal.. Fingers crossed he's ok, and somehow Suarez was misquoted, though I'm 110% sure he's not...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
what a paragraph full of truthfulness ^-^

We'll loose one of the best players in the world today if he does go. But hopefully a load of cash to spend on new players. Lets hope Sturridges injury ain't too bad and he'll be up and ready for the new season!!
Theres no smoke without fire so they say and it just makers me wonder if he bit Ivano to get himself out of playing for us. May sound crazy but the more i think about how silly he was. Just a thought.
This stinks of someone having a word in his ear and stirring things up again. Perhaps it's related to the Madrid / Barcelona merry go round where one cant be out done by the other. I really wish he'd shut his trap. I know all of this is part of his make up as a person, a player and the cultural ways of Uraguay perhaps but if we were able to just enjoy this guys skills without the baggage life would be pretty rosey.
Aspas joining us is a good sign. Business done early early so a full pre season can be done. Less stress. Whether he turns into a useful player for us remains to be seen. But is suspect that he'll be technically good. Anyone know any more?
Still a few more holes to plug and improve. Where's the midfield monster we need?
Overall this Summer will be intriguing. There's some real big signings that may or may not happen, new managers and of course everyone in the PL will have a shed load more money.

End of the day Colyn think we have to say what will be will be. But one thing to remember is that Real is desperate to be seen by its own fans and the Spanish press to be doing something. After a bad season, not yet having a new manager, and not getting Neymar they need to at least sound like they are moving heaven and earth to change this around. Hence all the talk about Suarez and Bale.
Before the end of the summer the circus will have gone around endless times, with every big name moving here there and everywhere. Some big moves will happen, but most of what is written in the papers will never come to pass. All we can do is wait for the dust to settle and make the best of what ends up happening if any of our players do move on (remember Suarez along with Skrtel and Riena are likely to get caught up in the media storm).
But one good thing seems to be that we are quietly going about our work, and doing it very early. With what looks like 2 in already, if we can get most business done before July, we'll be in great shape.

"Madrid are more than happy to meet his 40M clause" ?
I think Liverpool shot themselves in the foot by agreeing to such terms in the first place if it is true that Suarez has a 40M RELEASE FEE clause in his contract. A bit of bad business for LFC.
Lets face it, a player of Suarez's high calibre is a snip at 40M for Madrid. I think he is as good as gone this summer, I just can't see Suarez rejecting the lure of Real and CL football if Real are after him.

If we'd asked for a higher amount in his release clause would Suarez have signed for us? I doubt he would've..

Not sure I agree with you 100% here Jason. I do think much of Suarez's problems are of his own making, however I do also think the press seem to single him out more so that other players. For example, before the bite (which was obviously a major self inflicted wound) I think the press were much more critical, and at a personal level of Suarez than others. Yes Terry get's lot's of negative press, but all is quickly forgiven once he's back on the pitch.
The diving is a case in point for me. Yes Suarez has gone down easy, and admitted it, but so has almost every player in the league at one time or another. Just because Bale denies what is obvious to the naked eye does that make him a saint compared to Suarez who coped to the crime when asked? In actuality Bale sweeps the awards and is the darling of the press, while Suarez gets booed when his name is called out just for being a runner up!
But enough of the antics, one other point I wanted to make. On Aspas, I don't have a lot of information. However not sure its a sign we may have seen the last of Suarez, it could also mean (to the delight for some on here) we've seen the last of a certain Italian instead! Or maybe it means, just as last summer it seems BR was making a collection of central midfielders before he decided who he'd keep and who he'd sell, this summer, at least early doors, he's doing the same with players able to play across the front 3. Those leaving could be Suarez, but it could be Downing, Borini, or even the likes of Sterling or Suso destined for a loan period.
I don't think it has any relevance to Luis at all to be honest mate. Aspas looks a versatile utility man to play along that front 3, will be very exciting if we get Erikksen too, the movement should be great with phil in there too. I am gutted about Suarez but he is being delusional and just looking for excuses really, if he wants to leave then screw him, I just hope his crying doesnt drive the price down below £40m.
