I have a 35 year old son that for many years had difficulty with expressing himself. He was diagnosed with learning disablities. For mamy years we kept saying that he acted as though it was a form of autism. After many painful years of trying to help him and trying to convince the schools that my son had real problems,he was finally diagnosed with autism. Before anyone knew about specific treatments or ways to help him, I spent many hours working with my son. He is considered a higher functioning adult with autism. He can only focus on one task at a time. It is difficult for him to get a job outside of the workday program he attends . His favorite thing is taking care of cats. He has two cats that he loves and provides care for everyday. I understand the pain and frustration that parents have to live through everyday. But because of my son I am a very patient person. He is my gift, my blessing. I am here to support Autism speaks and feel very strongly about this issue. I feel at times it is still misunderstood. Thank goodness for the Autism division on my state that I reside and the individuals who are there for us.

Lorena Ochoa has no regrets about leaving the LPGA Tour to devote all of her time to her family and foundation.
"I wouldn't change this for anything," Ochoa said Wednesday. "I'm happy with what I'm doing. I don't see myself again on the LPGA Tour. ... I'm happy having a son, and hopefully our family will grow next year."
The Mexican star won 27 tour titles before retiring at age 28 in 2010. She is back this week to play in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational after missing the event last year before the birth of son Pedro in December.
"I'm very happy to be playing," said Ochoa, set to open tournament play Thursday at Guadalajara Country Club. "I'm excited for tomorrow."
Even though his 20 career wins make him a lifetime member on the PGA Tour, Love still has an amazing streak on the line. His tie for fourth at the McGladrey Classic last month moved him up to No. 98 on the 2012 tour money list with $973,707.
That gives Love a distinction that not even Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods can claim. He has never finished out of the top 125 on the money list, a streak that dates to his rookie season in 1986.
"It just means you're getting older," Love, 48, said.

VAIL, Colorado - Political signs are everywhere in Eagle County - in resident's yards, in roundabouts, on private property along Interstate 70 - but one place they soon won't be is on town of Vail-owned public property.
The town has been getting complaints that candidate signs on a public planter in East Vail have been removed and replaced with competitor's political signs.
An East Vail resident, who would only provide his first name Ron, called the town Wednesday morning after several days of back and forth with the signs. He said he's put a presidential campaign sign for President Obama on the planter and has later found out that someone has removed it and replaced it with a Mitt Romney sign.
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said complaints of signs being removed have come "from both sides of the aisle," though.
Ron called the Vail Police Department's code enforcement division and said he thought no signs should be allowed on the property at all if everybody can't play fair.
Sgt. Annette Dopplick said the Vail Police Department's stance is to protect freedom of speech for everyone and to do what's fair. She said the town doesn't enforce its sign ordinance for campaign signs since they're temporary. Plus, she said, enforcement would be difficult.
"We understand at this time of year that people want to get their messages out," Dopplick said. "We've taken more of a hands-off approach for everyone."
That being said, Dopplick added that it's not acceptable to remove other people's signs on town of Vail public property.
"If someone sees that going on, contact the police department and we'd be happy to investigate," Dopplick said.
Brandmeyer said the town's public works department doesn't have the time to visit every piece of public property in town to remove political signs, but the town will remove signs when they receive complaints about specific areas.
"Generally we have not had a problem with political signs, but since we now have had a complaint about signs being removed, we will have to remove them," Brandmeyer said.
It's a good thing, Ron said, because he was about to remove all of the signs himself.
"It's just getting so poisonous," Ron said. "People are not being civil. It sends a message that 'I'm allowed to put my sign here but you're not.' Everyone has a voice, so I think we all forfeit our rights (by not playing fair)."
Brandmeyer said the political signs don't typically cause problems, and folks can still obviously place the signs on private property.
"If this is what it's come to, then this part of the American way won't be happening on town of Vail public property," Brandmeyer said. "... I think it's unfortunate."
Dopplick said this isn't the first election season in which the town has fielded complaints about folks removing political signs. She can remember times when she'll drive into work and the signs in the roundabout - which is owned by the Colorado Department of Transportation, not the town of Vail - appear to have been moved around since the previous day.

Should U.S. Military Ranges Double as Wildlife Refuges?
When you think of endangered species in this country, struggling to survive in their native habitats, you probably picture them on national park or U.S. Forest Service lands. But according to NatureServe, a nonprofit conservation organization that tracks wildlife, U.S. Defense Department properties have the highest density of threatened and endangered species of any federal land management agency. The Pentagon states that on average, military lands boast 15 threatened and endangered species per acre — nearly seven times more per acre than on U.S. Forest Service tracts.
Our nation's military lands, however, are first and foremost dedicated to preparing for armed readiness, meaning that military exercises, such as target practice, are routine. Is this the kind of environment in which we want threatened species to play out their last-ditch efforts for survival?

Police look into bath salts overdoses
Several people taken to hospital in incidents
January 10, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg Police Department is warning residents of the dangerous drug, contaminated bath salts....
BTW 100names and counting I see you have fooled no one nor do they agree with you. So have a nice day as I smoke a LEGAL FEDERALLY EXEMPT SACRAMENT.

Rocksalt You have a good hearted answer and I would hope any addict get help rather than die or hurt someone else. I think the intolerance comes from the synthetics and of course METH it's self. Those drugs seem to have more of a hold on people than crack. Regardless you are correct it is still someone's family member who they care about.so lets hope these people using such horrible things quit on their own or get the help they need before something bad happens to them.

What are you people thinking, do none of you have a relative or close friend who has been an alcoholic or drug addict. These are the most misunderstood illnesses in our society. You who are wishing for people to die from this is disgusting, I believe that is up to the almighty on that one. You must not be old enough to know what acid and PCP and other forms of drugs did to people. If you know why people do this then please post it. Then they can look for a cure. I will tell you that this is a very bad epidemic on our society but it will take everyone to be responsible to correct it. When you see houses or hotels and other places that have repeated traffic from people then alert law enforcement to check it out. If we do not work together then things will only get worse. You know as well as me that you can recognize a place that is up to no good. Now for the people involved in this that were hurt, I do not know them but I pray that they will be healed and God Bless All.

I see you missed me so much you had to emulate me so you could read my name feel all powerful like you were controlling what I said. If anything you have proven the real damage booze does to the brain and dementia that comes from years of abuse of alcohol. While all my arguments you claim are induced under smoke and delusions. Yet it is you using my screen name imagining you are superior and have control. Looks like booze and metal disease are more connected Han the sacred cannabis plant. But if you like I can quote all the laws. Lmbo

Why would anyone ever want to shoot, snort, smoke or ingest anything that will cause you to be in a state of psychosis??? Seeing demons, paranoia, delusions?? I want to know why their names are not being released?? Everyone else that commits a crime or buys, sells or does drugs is published in the news so why not them?

The availability of the drug is obviously overwhelming! Why isnt PPD looking more into where its being sent from AND WHERE ITS BEING DELIVERED TO...its not like ppl are making bath salts....that would b a lingo/drug i believe called meth... Its absolutely amazing what the town I always knew of as home has become and looks like is far from over.. a place I dont want to be... I once lived in FL and moved back to raise my daughter in a "more safe environment" which was my home town...I cant say that so much anymore...GET THE SUPPLIERS AND THEN USERS OUT OF OUR*****TOWN WE KNOW AS HOME.... DONT SLAP THEM ON THE HAND AND LET THEM GO..GET THEM CLEAN THEN PUNISH THEM FOR THE CRIME..THEY MAY THEN KNOW OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT WHERE WHEN AND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO THEM AND LOCK THEM UP AWAY FROM THE TOWN WE ALL USED TO CALL OUR SAFE HOME!!!!

Thank you for the clarification COOL BEANS!!!!!! Yes you are very correct about me enjoying legal and religiously federal exonerated sacramental herbs. I finally feel free from the slavery that binds others. Have no fear contact your reps and tell them to support MIKE MANYPENNY and his MMJ bill so police can have more resources to handle the dangerous poisons like bathsalts and Meth. Mike will be introducing a bill this year again and has gained support from those in the house seeing he had been re-elected after introducing this bill 2 years prior. BTW emulation is the most sincere form of flattery him and Bobby must miss me and I'd say he used my name to stroke Bobby's ego or something like that. They miss me so much. LMBO.

Mack....I agree with you wholeheartedly. You are right, this is not like someone smoking a joint and being in a calm state of euphoria, not really harming anyone else. Bath salts turn the user into a maniacal demon that has very little or no control over their own actions. That presents a huge problem for both you and I, and all of those we care about. We need to take a very tough stance on this poison before an innocent person is injured or killed by one of these fools that consume it.

THE BAD: Not too many negatives to this show, although the somewhat haphazard flow of both sets keeps this from being a must-listen. The band kept the bluegrass/southern rock trend for the tour going on this night, with a handful of #s that tilt in this direction (MMGAMOIO, Sparkle, Daniel, Rocky Top), but without the emphasis and energy from the night before.
ETC: Mike is particularly vocal in this Funky Bitch, which hadn't been played since the spring. Fans of the eerie may want to take a listen to the beginning of this Maze, which has Trey whispering indecipherably a la the Providence Bowie. During Daniel, Trey gives a special thanks to "The Blumps". There is a major classic rock tease in the YEM, which carries the jam (tune yet to be ID'ed). Bouncing has a longer outro than normal and is quite nice.

Far Cry 3, sequel to Far Cry and Far Cry 2, was announced recently at the E3 2011 conference. There is very little discussion regarding the game and, frankly, I won't stand for that. I was a big fan of the first two games and, honestly, Far Cry 3 looks absolutely amazing. I figured I'd create an official thread for the game which will be updated as any new news, images or videos are released, as well as any previews by IGN, Gamespot, etc.
Title: Far Cry 3
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal/Ubisoft Shanghai
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platform: PS3, Xbox 360, PC
The sequel is in the pre-alpha stages of development. Far Cry 3 takes place on a tropical island found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.However, Patrick Redding, a Ubisoft story designer, mentioned that an Antarctic setting is a possibility for future games. The main goal of the game is to escape from the islands (as there will be more than one, mentioned by Dan Hay) and its crazed inhabitants.
Far Cry 3 returns the series to a tropical setting, similar to the first game. Players will assume the role of a protagonist known as Jason Brody, a tourist who has been stranded on an island chain that has been in the grips of violent local conflict for many years. Jason has been separated from his girlfriend and, in his search for her, developers have stated he will have to deal with a wide cast of mostly unstable characters who have been trapped on these islands for some time. In the short demo trailer that, as of June 2011, is the only gameplay footage released so far, Jason interacts with one such character, named Vaas (voiced by Michael Mando), who gives an unsettling monologue about the nature of insanity before trying to drown Jason by anchoring him to a cinder block and throwing him into a natural pool of water that has clearly been used repeatedly for this purpose. Details of Jason's backstory have yet to be provided, aside from the fact that developers have stated that he possesses a strong skillset as a combatant and survivalist that give him a fighting chance in the desperate circumstances he constantly finds himself in during the events of the game. Developers have also stated that the intended tone of the game will be one of realism and intensity and an attempt to invoke a visceral and constant feeling of danger in the player

Is this continuing the story of Far Cry 2?

If they go back to the roots with Far Cry 1, I will scream in joy (especially if we get a map editor again). They need to leave Far Cry 2 far far behind them and forget about that travesty. Based on the graphics in the screenshots and videos, it looks much more tropical and colorful like the first one as well.

I actually enjoyed FC2. It had some awful design choices (respawning guard posts) and iffy AI, but overall it was something new and interesting. I loved exploring the deserts and jungles and sniping fools from a mile away. I hope FC3 takes the good from FC2 and really fleshes it out.

Would you guys recommend Far Cry 2? I don't mind long travels and all.

I don't recommend it, but that is my opinion. Did you play 1?

I enjoyed FC, I hated FC2, this one is looking promising.
08-07-2011 #20
Thats one thing I loved about FC2. How you approach every situation was completely up to you. You could go balls-to-the-wall and unload on everything. You could sneak around the side planting IEDs on their vehicles. You could start a fire and let it sweep through the area. Pretty much anything was possible. It was pretty awesome.

It looks like Far Cry 3 is playable at Gamescom so there should be a ton of news, video and information during the conference. It is possible they got the elements of 1 and 2 combined in 3.

hope I'm not necrothreading too much but I didn't find any "official" Fra Cry 3 thread
I need advice : I'm not a good FPS player, I finished Bioshock and pltinumed Borderlands, but couldn't go far into Resistance (couldn't even get to the point where you're modified). Is there any hope I can have fun with Far Cry 3? Seems there's some stealth involved and I used I'd say "a sneaky approach" in BS and BL, first scouting enemy forces to weaken the defenses and killing lone patrols.
11-22-2012 #25
I also enjoyed fc2, it had its problems but was still an enjoyable experience.
FC3 though looks a hell of a lot better, but i do dislike some of the changes that make the game more simple, like more HUD and no weapon jamming. Still it is not much of a problem, the SP looks very well made. So hyped!
The MP though looks boring, bad and typical. No interest whatsoever.

Sunday, Nov. 11 • 2 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will tipoff its 2012-13 season Sunday, Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. against Belmont at the American Bank Center. Royce Chadwick will begin his Islander career in his first game as the Islanders' head coach. Chadwick, who spent the previous 11 years at the helm of the Marshall University program, has 561 wins on his collegiate coaching resume.
The Islanders return 10 letterwinners and will feature five newcomers, three freshmen and two transfers. The Islanders finished the 2011-12 with a 9-20 record and 5-11 in the conference. One week ago today, the Islanders cruised past Texas Lutheran 83-43 in its lone exhibition of the season.
Leading the Islanders is returning point guard Verne'qua Taylor. Last season, Taylor led the conference with 4.9 assists per game and tallied a total of 141 on the season. The Islanders will also look to senior guard Jessica Jammer who averaged 8.0 points per game. Along with Taylor and Jammer the Islanders are anticipating the return of guard Ashley Darley, who sat out last season with a medical redshirt.
The Bruins are coming off an 82-76 road loss to Texas State in their opening game on Friday. They finished the 2011-12 season 12-18.
•The Islanders cruised to a 40-point victory in its lone exhibition, shooting 46 percent from the field.
•Alisa Roberts, Ashley Darley, Jessica Jammer paced the Islanders in double-figure scoring.
•14 of the Islanders' 15 player roster scored in the victory.
•The Islanders received 51 points from the bench and outrebounded Texas Lutheran 46-35.
• Verne'qua Taylor dished out 141 assists in 2011-12 which set the Islanders' all-time assist record as a junior. She led the Southland Conference in assist average with 4.9 per game.
• Alisa Roberts was No. 11 in the Southland Conference in three-point percent shooting .323.
• Chadwick has a career record of 561-302 (.650) in stops at Marshall, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston State, Oklahoma Panhandle State and Howard Junior College.
• In 20 years at the Division I level, Chadwick holds a 365-237 (.606) record and seven NCAA Tournament appearances.
• Three out of the five newcomers come to the Island University from out-of-state. Freshman Janae Blount is from Washington, D.C., freshman Ashanti Plummer is from Manhattan, N.Y. and sophomore transfer Janae Lyde is originally from Albany, N.Y.
Belmont dropped their opening game to Texas State on Friday, 82-76. The Bruins shot 42.7 percent from the field and had four players score in double figures.
The Bruins return four leading scorers from a team that finished 12-18 overall last season.
Belmont holds the 4-2 all-time series advantage over the Islanders.
The Islanders were picked to finish eighth in the Southland Conference Coaches' Poll after finishing with a 5-11 conference record last season.
Chadwick will look to five newcomers, three posts and two guards. Freshman guard Janae Blount will add a presence after averaging 10.2 points per game at Howard D. Woodson High School in Washington, D.C. Freshman post Ashanti Plummer will add some inside presence that will be missing from graduated senior Myeisha Myles. Plummer averaged 18.1 points per game during her senior season while pulling down 13.6 rebounds. Freshman Zenobia Winbush and junior transfer Morgan Schwartz will also add height to the Islanders roster. Winbush led her team in scoring and rebounding during her senior season at Samuel Clemens High School in Schertz, Texas. Schwartz transferred from Midland CC where she played two seasons under head coach Ron Jones. Rounding out the newcomers is Janae Lyde who is a sophomore transfer from Texas Southern.
In the exhibition, Plummer led the newcomers with nine points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field. Plummer and Schwartz both pulled down five rebounds apiece.
The Islanders return 10 letterwinners from last seasons' team. Leading returners include Taylor, who led the conference with 4.9 assists per game and tallied a total of 141 on the season, Jessica Jammer, who averaged 8.0 points per game and 4.7 rebounds per game while registering 25 blocks in 21.2 minutes. Along with Taylor and Jammer the Islanders are anticipating the return of Darley who sat out last season with a medical redshirt. During the exhibition, Darley tallied 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting and recorded six steals, five rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes. She also went a perfect 4-for-4 from the line.
The Islanders also return guards Imani Dunn, Taryn Gregory, Trish Amboree, Marquesha Anderson-Sparks, Sarah Alva and Roberts, along with forwards Brandi Huff and Damequia Montgomery.
Royce Chadwick will be the fourth coach in Islanders' history to make his debut on the sidelines. He holds 561 wins on his collegiate coaching resume and seven NCAA Tournament bids. Chadwick is familiar with the Southland Conference after coaching stints at Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State. He holds a .829 career winning percentage in Southland Conference games. Chadwick was named the Southland Coach of the Year in 1997. He has 28 years of experience coaching women's college basketball and four career wins in the NCAA Tournament.
Roxanne White will join Chadwick on the sidelines as the Islanders' Associate Head Coach. White served on Chadwick's staffs at Marshall and Stephen F. Austin. White was Marshall's recruiting coordinator for all 11 years she was at the school and was the associate head coach for 10 of those seasons. The Stephen F. Austin alumna was an assistant for Chadwick for five years at SFA and also spent a year with Texas A&M.
Darren Brunson also makes his Islanders' coaching career debut as the Islanders Assistant Coach. Brunson comes to the Island University after spending the past three years as the associate head coach and team's recruiting coordinator at Texas Southern.
Geoff Grawn will join the three of them on the sidelines and enters his 11th season on the Islanders' staff as an assistant coach.
The Islanders have a very challenging non-conference slate, including five opponents from BCS conference schools. The Islanders will start the season against the likes of Belmont and Indiana before traveling to Boulder, Colo., for a two-day tournament at the University of Colorado. The Islanders will also face Big 12 opponent Texas at Austin. The Longhorns advanced to the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and this season's game will mark four years since the two teams faced each other in Austin in 2008. Three games are scheduled for December with the Islanders welcoming former Southland rival Texas State and Ivy League opponent Cornell. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will wrap the non-conference schedule in Ft. Worth against TCU before the start of the Southland Conference.
The Islanders will trek to Edinburg, Texas, to face Texas - Pan American in their first road game of the season on Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, May 5, 2010
THOMSON, Ga.---Our Time To Care winner for May is a self proclaimed "Dumpster Diva". Judith Hodges doesn't mind getting dirty if it means raising money for Maxwell Elementary School in Thomson, Ga. And that's where we had a big surprise waiting for her.
Everybody at Maxwell Elementary in Thomson was in on this one. Everyone except Judith Hodges. The cafeteria was full of staff members, friends and family when she walked in. The ovation brought her to tears.
Judith is a parent here and a volunteer. We can't even sit down to talk-- without somebody wanting to talk to her about trash. Her daughter wantered up as we were beginning the interview.
"Mommy, where's the trash can?" she asked.
"Sweetie, the trash can is over there!" Judith told her with a laugh.
Her talent is finding money. Where you see trash, she sees cash.
"And we get recycle stuff like the chip bags and ink cartridges and stuff."
Judith hits these hallways two or three times a week with her side-kick and fellow "Dumpster Diva", Alice Gary.
"Well, we collect it up and Terra Cycle, which is the company we send it to- they take it and turn it into other stuff and send us the money for it," Hodges said.
They visit every classroom and usually find a bag of trash hanging there, waiting for them to recycle. And she doesn't just do it at school.
"You know, my husband will look at me and say- are you gonna do this tonight? We'll be out with friends and I'll say I need this chip bag- then they'll go ok, sure and we wind up with everybody's in the restaurant."
Their work doesn't just keep stuff out of our landfills, it generates money for the school. A lot of money.
Donna Bennett is Principal of Maxwell Elementary School.
"Anyone who will dig through trash cans on a Friday night after a football game, definitely deserves this award," Bennett told us.
That's where you'll find them on Saturday mornings in the Fall.
"There's a lot of Nacho Cheese involved. But it's not bad. It's really not as bad as it seems," Hodges says.
Spend a little time talking with Judith, and she'll change the way you look at things, like empty chip bags.
"That's money, two cents a piece," Hodges says. And that's just from this company that we've raised 12 hundred dollars. We raised almost two thousand dollars in box tops that you can find on zip-lock bags and that kind of thing."
Principal Bennett was skeptical when she first heard about Hodges plan.
"And anybody who can set a goal for three thousand dollars to raise in this time and you've far surpassed that with over five thousand dollars and still going-- we have two weeks left, y'all," Bennett told the crowd of teachers.
Two weeks. Judith says that's enough time to hit six thousand dollars.
"Absolutely, we don't pass a trash can without wanting to go through it," Hodges admits.
In a school year when budget cuts dominated the news, she quietly went about collecting trash and raising money. And she thought no one would notice.
"Well, I don't do this for anything like this (award)," Hodges told the crowd in the cafeteria. "I love all you guys. So thank you!"
And of course, we want to thank our Time To Care partners who make this award possible. Subway, Troy University and Ashley Furniture. If you want to nominate someone for our Time To Care Award, you can do that here.

Double Decker Tour Buses Collide in Times Square
Multiple people were injured Tuesday when a double-decker tour bus apparently collided with another double-decker bus in Times Square, witnesses and officials said.
The Fire Department of New York responded to a call of buses colliding at W. 47th Street and 7th Avenue around 3:22 p.m. Tuesday. Police said a City Sights double-decker bus swiped a Gray Line bus, pushing the bus onto the sidewalk and a traffic light pole. The pole apparently struck a pedestrian, injuring her leg, police said.
An FDNY spokesperson said at least 14 people were injured. Eleven suffered minor injuries, and three had more serious injuries and were being transported to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in Midtown. None of the injuries were considered life threatening.
Susanne Dilger, 56 years old, a German tourist, said she pulled her 17-year-old daughter out of the way of the bus. She saw a woman injured in the crash.
"She flew through the air," said Ms. Dilger, who suffered scrapes and bruises herself.
The condition of the woman wasn't immediately known.
Police on the scene were interviewing witnesses amid tourists trying to get a glimpse of the accident.
The red bus remained on the curb next to the destroyed street lamp, its front wind shield smashed in.
This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, March 4, 2013
BURNETTOWN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Pam Sanders is still upset after an incident here at LBC Middle School last Wednesday.
"I will not tolerate this. This is unacceptable behavior," she told News 12.
Her 11-year-old grandson was allegedly abused by a teacher's aide in a classroom at the school.
"On his lower back, it was swollen. It had a bruise, and you know, he told me it was hurting him," Sanders said.
Photos from the child's father show severe bruising and discoloration on his foot and ankle. Another shot shows what appear to be bruises from fingertips on his arm.
"That is the most sickening thing that I can think of. An adult. That's what we call an adult? I call it evil," she said.
Sanders says an assistant principal told her last week that the teacher's aide has been removed and now awaits a school hearing. However, Sanders says what's most frustrating is that her grandson came home with bruises before, and she believes they were from the same aide.
But, there's a problem.
"He's autistic," the grandmother explained. "He can't speak. He had pointed this lady out to me in January, but because he couldn't speak, they said that, you know, there was no way to prove it."
Principal Brenda DeLoache legally can't say much, but she says the incident is still under active investigation. She told News 12 the school did contact Burnettown Police Department, where Chief D.P. Smith tells us he's handed the case to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Meanwhile, Sanders wants a change. She says she wants cameras in classrooms.
"If we can put them on the school buses, to catch the kids that are misbehaving, these kids have a right to have cameras in these classrooms to catch these adults that are mistreating them and abusing them," Sanders said.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office report claims another teacher's aide reported the incident. Sanders says that teacher's aide is her hero, and she broke down to tears telling News 12 just how thankful she is for that person.
Right now, there's no word of any criminal charges yet, and as is normally the case, the school district is investigating, too.

I recently also had a problem where PMS worked fine and stopped after a min or two, fast forward automatic skipping, etc.
After trying all sort of things I could find in the forum (MEncoder update, bigger java heap size, bigger buffer, turning off settings and playing with all sorts of settings) nothing really helped. The only thing that helped is that I noticed I had multiple java versions installed. I had the latest 7 ver update 11 and also update 10. I started by uninstalling PMS and removed the conf file from the All Users/PMS/pms.conf location. Just to make sure it'll use a new one on reinstall. Then I removed all the java installations I had and installed only the latest one for both x64 and x32 bit. (I use Win7 x64 so its best to have both). Then installed PMS and didn't really need to change anything. Transcoding is now perfect without any crashes and sudden halts.
*Edit , works only when not using PMS as a server and when FFmpeg transcoding is used instead of MEncoder. Otherwise on some files it still exit after a few mins.

Don Pardo, the seldom-seen, booming-voiced announcer for "Saturday Night Live" for nearly 40 years, died on Monday aged 96, according to multiple family and media reports.
Pardo's death at his home in Tucson, Arizona, where he had continued to pre-record his weekly introductions for the New York-based "Saturday Night Live" during the past few years, NBC spokesman Rich Licata told the Los Angeles Times.
Pardo, who began his six-decade-plus broadcasting career in the radio age of the 1930s, was with "Saturday Night Live" for its debut in 1975 and was the show's announcer every year since then, except during its 1981-1982 season, making his the longest tenure of anyone associated with the show (creator Lorne Michaels was away for five years in the 1980s). He also missed one episode in 2013 due to a hip injury. "SNL" alum Darrell Hammond filled in for him then, doing his best Pardo impression throughout the show.
Viewers heard him at the beginning of the show announcing the cast and guest stars in his grand, distinctive style, stretching out words for effect. He also closed each show by reading the guests slated to appear for the following week, and sometimes performed voice-overs in skits.
In doing so, he literally introduced TV audiences to some of the era's biggest names in show business, including such comedy power houses as John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Adam Sandler, and Maya Rudolph.
"There is nothing like the moment when Don Pardo says your name at the beginning of the show," Jimmy Fallon, a former "SNL" cast member said on his own NBC late-night show. "Nothing like that thrill. You almost want to cry."
Pardo made rare on-screen appearances on "SNL," including the time he donned a white tuxedo for a sketch with avant garde rock guitarist Frank Zappa. The show's writers also used him in bits such as "Don Pardo's Holiday in an Elevator," "Waiting for Pardo" and "The Don Pardo Digital Gift Catalog."
He also was brought on stage at the end of a 2008 show to celebrate his 90th birthday.
Pardo started his broadcasting career at a radio station in Providence, Rhode Island in 1938 and joined NBC in 1944. He announced the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to NBC listeners in 1963.
Before "Saturday Night Live", game shows provided steady work. He was the announcer for early incarnations of "The Price Is Right," "Three on a Match," "Winning Streak," "Jackpot" and the original "Jeopardy!"
Pardo, who was born Dominick George Pardo on Feb. 22, 1918, in Westfield, Massachusetts, and his wife, Kay, had five children. Kay died in 1995.

About the Book
Born in the mountains above Venice in the late fifteenth century, Tiziano Vecellio—or Titian—was the greatest painter of the Venetian High Renaissance. A poetic visionary and a technical master of oils, he painted everything, from frescoes and grand altarpieces to mythological stories and portraits—works described by his contemporaries as "mirrors of nature."
Sheila Hale's rich biography is the first since 1877 to examine all contemporary accounts of Titian's life and work as well as recent art historical scholarship, some of it previously unpublished. Her book charts the extraordinary transformation of Titian's style: from the radiant, minutely realized masterpieces of his youth, to the more freely painted work of his middle years, to the dark, tragic, sometimes terrifying visions of his old age. Drawing on the latest scientific examinations of his paintings, Hale seeks to explain the evolution of his methods and his art. In doing so, she also gives many different voices—from Titian's lifetime to today—free reign to explore, praise, and sometimes doubt his genius.
When Titian died in 1576, in his late eighties, he had spent the whole of his working life in Venice—the most celebrated city in Europe—traveling as little as possible despite the clamor for his presence at the great courts of the continent. He had witnessed wars, Ottoman invasions, and the rising Protestant threat to the Catholic Church. He had become the favored painter of both Charles V—the most powerful man in the world—and his son, Philip II of Spain, who became Titian's most important patron.
Sheila Hale's masterly biography presents Titian through the lens of the turbulent times in which he lived and explores how this innovative sixteenth-century master conveyed in his paintings a kind of truth that few other artists have been able to communicate, which has fascinated Titian's admirers and followers ever since.

"Hale's new biography of Titian is a spirited account of self-invention." — California Literary Review

New North Dakota Factory to Produce Wind Towers, Jobs
April 19, 2010
One month after Bobcat Co.'s machine manufacturing plant closed a majority of its operations in the Northern Plains Commerce Centre, Schuff Steel Co. announced it was exploring the construction of a new wind tower in the same industrial park. The facility would employ about 300 people and manufacture large-scale wind towers for 2- to 5-megawatt farms.
Sluggish sales and a weak economy forced Bobcat to close its doors late last year. It relocated a majority of the 475 jobs to its Gwinner plant in southeastern North Dakota. Laid-off workers were given the chance to relocate, but a majority of those workers stayed behind in Bismarck.
"This is outstanding opportunity for the workforce here," says Russ Staiger, executive director of the Bismarck Mandan Development Association, the nonprofit working closely with the Arizona steel fabricator. "Schuff will be looking for a lot of the same skill sets: welders, machinists and other manufacturer-related jobs."
No specific dates have been announced, but Russ says the plant is a "work of art that keeps moving forward," with construction targeted for summer.
Schuff Steel, which received a $7 million federal tax credit under the Recovery Act Section 48C Clean Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit, plans to manufacture about 300 wind towers a year at the 200,000-square-foot facility.
North Dakota's potential for generating wind power made it an attractive location for Schuff. The state generates enough wind energy to power 210,000 homes a year (700 megawatts), but according to the American Wind Energy Association, it is capable of producing almost 140,000 MW.
"After researching the renewable energy business in general, and specifically wind energy, we are convinced that we are seeing the emergence of a new industry," said Dennis Randall, executive vice president of Schuff's Midwest Division, in a news release. "We also feel that this new venture would require construction of a dedicated plant in close proximity to developing markets."

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis team, ranked No. 69 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national poll, suffered its first loss of the 2013 season on Sunday evening, dropping a 4-3 final against defending Southland Conference Champion Stephen F. Austin. The match at the Schlief Tennis Complex was delayed several hours due to inclement weather in the area.
The Islanders (9-1, 2-1 Southland) swept the doubles point early, but losses in the singles matches gave SFA (5-7, 2-0 Southland) their second Southland win in as many days.
"Give a lot of credit to SFA, they are the defending conference champions, and they played with a lot of pride today at home," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "They outfought us and they deserved to win this match. It's as simple as that."
After seeing match time moved back four hours due to rain in the area, the teams finally kicked off the match at 5 p.m. on the Lady Jacks home courts.
In doubles action, Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan gave their team an early lead with an 8-4 final at No. 2, and the duo of Maider Martin and Mia Matuszak earned an 8-4 mark at No. 3 doubles to clinch the point. Doris Kuselj and Stefania Nicolae made it a clean sweep in the doubles portion with a tough 9-7 (7-5) win at the No. 1 position.
"We played great in the doubles point to go up 1-0," said Moore. "But we got off to some slow starts, and did not do a good job of controlling the things we can control at the beginning of the singles."
Things swung the other way in single action as SFA earned the first four wins in the second half of the match to clinch the first loss of the year for the Islanders.
Despite knowing their team could not win, Martin and Nicolae kept battling and came out with three-set victories to make it a 4-3 final score. Martin won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 at No. 3, while Nicolae came out on top by a 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 mark in No. 4 singles.
In the other singles matches, Kuselj lost 6-1, 6-0 at No. 1, Burges fell 6-4, 6-1, at No. 2 singles, Horan suffered a 6-0, 6-3 defeat at No. 5 and Leanne Mascall lost 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 at the No. 6 position to clinch the match.
The team must shake off its first defeat of the season, as they travel to Sam Houston State on Tuesday for another test in Southland Conference action. The team will play the 12 p.m. Southland Conference match in Huntsville on the SHSU campus.
"I believe very deeply in this teams character and the incredible hard work they have put in this season," said Moore. "I know we will learn from this and be better in the long run."

Scrubbing history
Is history-scrubbing the newest trend in the news media? In an editorial this week advocating filibuster reform, the Los Angeles Times observed: "Sen. Strom Thurmond famously stood for more than 24 hours in his futile attempt to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957 — now they invoke it on a so-called motion to proceed." The Associated Press Stylebook advises editors to "include party affiliation if readers need it for understanding or are likely to be curious about what it is." Sen. Thurmond was a Democrat in 1957.
About the same time, Philadelphia Inquirer writer Dick Polman, commenting on the new hit movie "Lincoln," wrote: "For four years, he had been ridiculed by the conservative opposition party as too liberal, and by liberals in his own party as not liberal enough." The party he was referring to was the Democratic Party.

Young Shepherd Holding a Flower
Painting commissioned from Greuze in 1756 by the Marquis de Marigny, Director General of the King's Buildings, for his sister, the Marquise de Pompadour.
With its counterpart, Simplicity (Fort Worth, Kimbell Art Museum), which shows a girl pulling the petal off a daisy to find out whether her love is reciprocated, saying, "He loves me, he loves me not…" it hung in the apartment of King Louis XV's favourite.
In these two paintings from the start of his career, Greuze showed great similarity to Boucher, La Pompadour's favourite painter. Diderot himself would later try to promote himself against the latter, recognising this similarity: "This Shepherd pulling the petals off a daisy to find out whether his shepherdess loves him is rather insignificant. With the elegance of the clothing and radiant colours, it could easily be mistaken for the work of Boucher. And if one did not know what the subject was, one would never guess".
The exceptionally light colour scheme with its harmony of pinks, blues and mauves complemented by the golden tone of the curly hair, and the combination of transparent glazes and vigorous impastos is indeed reminiscent of the art of Boucher, from whom Greuze later had to distance himself.

BERKELEY -- The words "you're fired" didn't mean much to Summer Reese.
On Monday an Alameda County judge said it again, and Reese, the fired head of the nonprofit that runs Berkeley radio station KPFA, ended a two-month occupation of her office and went home.
"I respect the law whether it goes my way or not," Reese said Tuesday. "I said all along I'd obey whatever the judge orders."
Reese was fired from her $105,000-a-year job on March 13 by an 11-7 vote of the board of directors of Pacifica Foundation Radio, which runs KPFA and four other radio stations around the country.
She returned a few days later with a pair of bolt cutters. Declaring the board vote illegal, she cut a padlock on the door to the office on Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and began an around-the-clock occupation with supporters, including her mother.
The board members who back her then filed a lawsuit seeking to reinstate her. But the board members who wanted her fired went to the same judge and asked for a temporary restraining order barring her from the office.
"Her continued occupation of (Pacifica Foundation Radio's) national office constitutes a trespass and nuisance," Judge Ioana Petrou said in her ruling Monday.
The order bars her from the office. Petrou also denied Reese's supporters a motion that would allow her to keep her job until their lawsuit is settled.
For now Reese, her mother and the air mattresses that lined the hallways during the occupation are out.
"This is a total victory for the new board majority, which has been conscientiously working to save Pacifica," said board chair Margy Wilkinson in a prepared statement following the Monday ruling.
In the 18-page ruling, one of the issues surrounding Reese's termination was her inability to complete a background check, partly because she does not have a social security number. Reese said she does not have a social security number for religious reasons and is a Christian.
High drama at Pacifica Foundation Radio and KPFA, both headquartered in Berkeley, is nothing new. There have been occasional power struggles over the past 15 years, mostly owing to budgetary problems.
Protesters camped outside the station in 1999 after Pacifica fired a popular KPFA station manager, locked out the staff and temporarily shut down the station.
In 2010, after some layoffs at KPFA, the fired employees took over the station and aired a renegade show.
In addition to the five stations around the country, there are 180 affiliates who carry Pacifica programming and approximately 80,000 listeners who regularly donate to the $13 million annual budget.
Reese said the type of people who are drawn to the governance board, usually from the far left and radical political fringes, mostly lack basic business skills that would allow them to make good decisions. She said the organization will continue to have problems until its governing rules are changed.
"Everybody who really cares about Pacifica's mission knows it has to be fixed," Reese said.

2.Move the Radiation to 2nd place on the forum to reflect the importance of it and change the entry to "Radiation Treatments and options" to reflect Radiation is a viable and important treatment option for CC.
3. Combine "resection and transplant"and change to"Surgery,Resection and Transplant Treatment options" into one entry and put it as #3 on the list because all use the surgical technique as the means to achieve their goal.
4. Change the "side effects" to "Adverse Reactions and Side Effects" to reflect other problems that is not related to medications only(ie: stents dislocation; problems caused by disease state. eg. ascites and infections etc.)

COMMERCE CITY - It was the perfect end to a perfect season.
Battle Mountain soccer toppled the No. 1 team in the state, Palmer Ridge, 1-0, in a snowstorm in penalty kicks (4-2) at Dick's Sporting Goods Park Saturday for its first state title, wrapping a perfect 20-0 season.
After Heivan Garcia snapped the clinching penalty kick, the Huskies joyfully accepted the 4A state-championship trophy. Joe LyBarger was the first to grab it.
"Unexplainable," LyBarger said. "It's just amazing. Everything happens in slow motion. You're just like, 'Finally, it's happened.' I don't even know."
Not too bad for a sixth seed, too. The underrated Huskies finished their perfect season by beating No. 3 Evergreen, No. 2 Broomfield and finally the top-seeded Bears in their final three games.
"We beat No. 3; we beat No. 2; and we beat No. 1 and we'll come back Monday and beat someone else if they want," Huskies coach David Cope joked.
By the way, this is Cope's 20th season and Battle Mountain went 20-0. Hmmm. And it also sends out assistant coach Kyle Mercer in style.
"I don't know if any feeling can top this right now," senior Chris Shea said. "Unbelievable effort by everyone tonight. It's for all the fans and for Cope and for Kyle. It's not even about us right now. This is for our whole valley."
Kicks, naturally
Battle Mountain really should have won this in regulation, but nothing has come easily, even in a 20-0 season, so why not kicks?
The Huskies went in the same order as they did against Evergreen in the quarterfinals. Erick Briones and Palmer Ridge's Luke Sinola traded scores as did Gunnar Wilson and his Bears' counterpart Andrew Bell.
Palmer Ridge goalie John Kochanski stopped Roberto Diaz by diving the right way. Diaz's shot was deflected by Kochanski's feet. But, as Huskies fans now know, Christian Espinoza usually has a save or two in him in these situations. He speared Jacob Kochanski's shot and the kicks were even at two.
LyBarger took care of his shot and the Huskies were in the driver's seat because Palmer Ridge's Gustav Seifert went wide right.
"I guessed and that save caused the other guy to miss that shot," Espinoza said. "He was nervous. He wanted to make it, but it wasn't even on (net)."
And thus, it was up to Heivan Garcia to clinch the title.
"Com'on Heivan, Com'on Heivan. Com'on, Heivan," Espinoza said afterwards. "Make it."
"I've seen him bury them in practice," Shea said. "I know how good a shot he has."
"Sitting there, the ball is hit and it's like one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi," LyBarger said with a slow drawl.
"I'm just thinking, 'How great it would be to give to our community, our fans and our team a state championship,'" Garcia said. "I knew I had to do it."
There seemed to be a moment of silence just to make sure Garcia's shot was good and then the Huskies came spilling across the pitch to pile all over Garcia and Espinoza.
The Huskies passed around the trophy like it was the Stanley Cup. They paraded it in front of their fans. The put the trophy down on the snow, went back a good 20 yards and then slid into the trophy, for good measure.
"It means the world," Cope said. "We put a lot of emotional energy into this all year long. I'm just so happy for all the players who came before, all the alumni, the school, the families, the community. This group really represents all facets of our community. It was pretty storybook."
Frustration ended
The evidence of the flow of play was in the snow at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. There were simply more patches of green in Palmer Ridge's end. Putting one in the back of the net was another matter.
One note is that the defense was superb. Brandon Osorio, Briones, Wilson and Diaz let very little get to Espinoza. Osorio had the defensive play of the game by breaking up Palmer Ridge's lone breakaway in the second half.
And Battle Mountain had chance after chance after rebuffing two Bears' corner kicks in the first extra frame. LyBarger hit the crossbar. LyBarger was pulled down on a breakaway by Jimmy Kochanski, and the latter received a red card. (Yes, there were three Kochanskis.) The ensuing free kick resulted in Garcia just going wide right.
In the second overtime, Diego Rodriguez was stoned at point-blank range by John Kochanski.
"I just thought our boys did really well," Cope said. "You have to be pragmatic. You can't always play The Beautiful Game. I thought, even in these conditions, our boys tried to knock it around. In the end, it wasn't happening."
This is Battle Mountain's sixth non-skiing state championship. The Huskies' last title was in 2007 in boys cross-country.

1.2-10 Your Conduct as Jurors
Revised to September 23, 2013
A few moments ago you took an oath that will govern your conduct as jurors between the time you took that oath and the time that you are discharged by me after you have rendered a verdict in this case. That oath and the rules of court obligate you to do certain things and to avoid other things, and I want to review your obligations for you now.
First, you must decide this case based only on the evidence presented here in court and on the law as I will explain it to you.
Second, do not make up your minds about what your verdict will be until after you have heard all the evidence, heard the closing arguments of the attorneys and my instructions on the law, and, after that, you and your fellow jurors have discussed the evidence. Keep an open mind until that time.
There are some rules that flow from these obligations, and I'll go over them now.
You may not perform any investigations or research or experiments of any kind on your own, either individually or as a group. Do not consult any dictionaries for the meaning of words or any encyclopedias for general information on the subjects of this trial. Do not look anything up on the Internet concerning information about the case or any of the people involved, including the defendant, the witnesses, the lawyers, or the judge. Do not get copies of any statutes that may be referred to in court. Do not go to the scenes where any of the events that are the subject of this trial took place or use Internet maps or Google Earth or any other program or device to search for or view any place discussed during the case.
Why? Because the parties have a right to have the case decided only on evidence they know about and that has been introduced here in court. If you do some research or investigation or experiment that we don't know about, then your verdict may be influenced by information that has not been tested by the oath to tell the truth and by cross-examination.
The same thing is true of any media reports you may come across about the case or anybody connected with the case. If you do come across any reports in the newspaper or a magazine, on TV, or any Internet site or "blog," you may not read or watch them because they may refer to information not introduced here in court or they may contain inaccurate information. If you are accidentally exposed to such information, do not discuss it with your fellow jurors and notify the clerk in writing.
You may not discuss the case with anyone else, including anyone involved with this case until the trial is over, and you have been discharged as jurors. "Anyone else" includes members of your family, your friends, your coworkers; if you wish, you may tell them you are serving as a juror, but you may not tell them anything else about the case until it is over, and I have discharged you. You may not talk to any of the court personnel, such as marshals and clerks, about the case. You may not ask any friends you have who are lawyers or law enforcement personnel for advice or information about any matters related to this case.
Why is that? Because they haven't heard the evidence you have heard, and in discussing the case with them, you may be influenced in your verdict by their opinions, and that would not be fair to the parties, and it may result in a verdict that is not based on the evidence and the law.
You may not communicate to anyone any information about the case. This includes communication by any means, such as text messages, email, Internet chat rooms, blogs, and social websites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, or Twitter.
Both the defendant and the state are entitled to a fair trial, rendered by an impartial jury, and you must conduct yourself so as to maintain the integrity of the trial process. When you have rendered a verdict and been dismissed by the court, you will be free to discuss the case with anyone you wish, though remember that you are not required to. Until then you must be focused solely on the evidence presented in the courtroom and your obligations to the fairness of the proceeding.
In addition, you may not talk to each other about the case until I tell you to do so, and that will not be until you have heard all the evidence, you have heard the closing arguments of the attorneys, and you have heard my instructions on the law that you are to apply to the facts you find to be true. Why is that? It may seem only natural that you would talk about the case as it is going on. The problem with that is, when people start discussing things, they take positions on them and express opinions which are often hard for them to change later on. So, if you were permitted to discuss the case while it's going on, you might reach conclusions or express opinions before you have heard all the evidence or heard the final arguments of counsel or heard the law that you must apply. Your verdicts in the case might then be improperly influenced by the conclusions or opinions you or your fellow jurors have reached before you knew about all of the evidence or the law that will help you put that evidence in the proper context for your verdicts.
What happens if these rules are violated by a juror? In some cases violations of the rules of juror conduct have resulted in hearings after trial at which the jurors have had to testify about their conduct. In some cases the verdict of the jury has been set aside and a new trial ordered because of jury misconduct. So, it is very important that you abide by these rules.
If someone should attempt to talk to you, please report it to the clerk immediately. If you see or hear anything of a prejudicial nature or that you think might compromise the proper conduct of this trial, please report it to the clerk immediately. These communications should be in writing. Do not discuss any such matters with your fellow jurors.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|Case for the Defendants >
|Irving's response >>
5.194In accordance with his usual practice, Himmler listed in manuscript the points which he proposed to raise with Hitler at their meeting on 10 December 1942. One of them reads: "Jews in France 600-700,000". Alongside those words there appears a tick. Himmler has also added in manuscript the word "abschaffen". Longerich translated this as "to liquidate". After his meeting with Hitler, Himmler sent a note to Muller, the head of the Gestapo, to the effect that the French Jews should be arrested and deported to a special camp (Sonderlager). At the same time Himmler secured the agreement of Hitler that a camp should be set up for 10,000 well-to-do Jews from France, Hungary and Romania, in conditions "whereby they remain healthy and alive".

Walk-through metal detectors have been installed at schools in the Grenada County School District.
Superintendent David Daigneault said, once teachers and other personnel get trained, they will use the metal detectors. Daigneault also said the school board must develop policies for their use.
Daigneault said in addition to the detectors, schools will also instal door buzzers, buy a new police car and hire new security personnel.
Daigneault said school personnel also will have secondary wand detectors.
