A rape suspect out on bond was returned to the Henderson County Detention Center after he failed to appear in court.
Warrant Squad officers with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office arrested Dustin Ray Parham, 26, Tuesday on a bench warrant for failing to appear in Superior Court on April 22. Parham was charged with three counts of first-degree rape on May 6, 2011.
"Officers had tracked Parham through Henderson County, Buncombe County and upstate South Carolina before locating him at a residence off Nash Road in the Dana community of Henderson County. The officers took Parham into custody without incident," according to news release from the Sheriff's Office.
He is currently being held in the detention center in lieu of a $100,000 secured bond.

Two farmers. Two opposite points of view on genetically engineered food.
The divergent opinions of a West Marin dairy farmer and a Fresno County rancher crystallize the debate over Proposition 37, a highly contentious ballot initiative that would require labeling such food. If it passes, California would become the first state to require a "genetically modified" label on a host of food products -- from breakfast cereals to tofu.
Proposition 37 is unusual because it's pitted businesses against businesses. Big natural-food companies and organic farmers are on one side. A variety of traditional farmers and chemical, seed and processed-food firms are on the other.
Agriculture is a $43.5 billion business in California, the state's largest. For that reason, spending on Proposition 37 has exceeded $50 million. This tale of two farmers portrays their stakes in this election:
A Marin County farmer against engineered food
MARSHALL -- Seven years ago, Albert Straus began testing the "organic" feed he was buying for his cows. To his surprise, he discovered that a quarter to a third of the corn in the mix was genetically engineered.
Organic farmers see contamination from genetically modified organisms -- or GMOs -- as a threat because the federal government's certified-organic program does not allow genetically engineered food in any part of the production process.
But GMOs are becoming harder and harder for organic farmers to avoid, and there are rising concerns about "cross-contamination."
In 2000, 25 percent of the corn planted in the U.S. was genetically modified, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. By 2012, that figure had soared to 88 percent.
Straus, 57, is a soft-spoken man who lives in a weathered farmhouse perched on a hill overlooking Tomales Bay. The Straus Family Creamery produces organic milk, ice cream, yogurt, butter and sour cream. It's best known for the cream-top milk sold in reusable glass bottles.
Straus inherited the dairy from his father. In 1994, he made it the first organic dairy in California. Every source of feed for the cows, as well as ingredients like chocolate for the ice cream or vanilla for the yogurt, is tested for genetically modified food.
"Consumers have a fundamental right to know what's in their food," said Straus, who shuttles back and forth between the West Marin dairy and the Petaluma creamery in his Toyota Prius. "If GMOs are so good, then the people who use them should be proud to label them."
Straus is one of the most vocal farmers in the national fight against genetically engineered food. "By using GMOs, farmers increase the use of pesticides and fertilizers, worsening the impacts on the environment," Straus argued. "Many farms have been forced out of business by the economic demands this kind of agriculture creates."
After Straus discovered the genetically engineered corn in his feed, he got involved with the Non-GMO Project, a 7-year-old nonprofit organization that promotes food products without genetically modified ingredients. Straus' dairy was the first in the country to participate in the voluntary verification and labeling system.
Opponents of Proposition 37 warn that the new labels, as well as the need to verify GMOs, will add costs that will be passed on to consumers. But Straus scoffs at the claims, saying that changing the labeling of his products costs just a fraction of a cent per bottle.
"If Prop. 37 passes, it won't change our business on a daily basis," he said. "But if it loses, it's been a great way for consumers to get educated about the issues. Most people didn't even know that GMOs are in their food. Now they know."
A Fresno County farmer who favors GMOs
TRANQUILLITY -- Paul Betancourt doesn't have a problem with genetically engineered crops. He planted 320 acres of "Roundup Ready" cotton in April and is now getting ready to harvest it.
The cotton was developed by Monsanto, the St.-Louis-based biotech and agricultural giant. It contains a gene not normally found in cotton plants that allows it to withstand the herbicide Roundup.
"In terms of managing the crop, it's made all the difference in the world," Betancourt said as he walked through the field checking the cotton bolls. "We fire up the hooded sprayer and spray the Roundup from the top. The weeds all die, and the cotton grows. I get paid to grow cotton, not weeds.
"The mills hate it when there are weeds in the cotton fiber. You can see a 10 to 20 percent loss of production."
Betancourt, 53, has used the new breed of cotton for three seasons and has no complaints. Instead of hiring crews to weed the fields by hand, he sprays once or twice a season and is done.
He works three ranches spanning 765 acres in the vast fields of Fresno County. This year he's growing Pima cotton, wheat and almonds.
Pima cotton is used to make high quality linens and sheets. But the seeds are made into cottonseed oil, commonly found in salad dressings, mayonnaise and marinades.
If Proposition 37 passes, any cottonseed oil made from his cotton seeds would have to be labeled. And he worries that he could become embroiled in a lawsuit if his cottonseed oil is found in a food product that isn't properly labeled. He doesn't understand why consumers are up in arms about GMOs -- genetically modified organisms -- which have been around commercially since the mid-1990s.
"What's the difference between genetically modifying in the lab and creating new varieties like Luther Burbank did?" asked Betancourt, referring to the legendary botanist and plant breeder. "Why is biotech good for medicine but not for food production?"
Supporters of Proposition 37 say that lab-based breeding techniques have not been adequately studied and point out that the biotech industry has paid for much of the research on genetically modified food. The initiative's backers argue that no long-term studies have been done to prove that the new techniques aren't harmful to human health.
Proposition 37 isn't the only threat Betancourt faces. This year he expects to get only about $1.20 a pound -- down from $2.15 in early 2011 -- largely because of reduced demand from China, the world's largest textile market.
Betancourt, who says he makes only $30,000 to $40,000 in a good year, is worried that the new labeling requirement could add costs to his operation. He foresees two labels: one for products grown in California, one for products destined for other states.
"Creating a separate labeling system is not efficient," he said. "And there's a fear factor in the labeling: It implies that GMOs are bad. It's in our favor to have consumers confident about their food, but processed foods like Cheetos are more of a health threat than GMOs."
Require genetically engineered foods sold in the state, including raw fruits and vegetables, to be clearly labeled.
Give the state Department of Public Health the power to regulate the labeling.
Allow individuals to sue food manufacturers who violate the measure's labeling provisions.

OAKLAND -- Andrew Bogut admitted to feeling a little next-day slowness after playing nearly 30 minutes against Toronto, his first action after a six-game hiatus because of back spasms brought on by a bulging disk.
But at least the Warriors center was upright Tuesday and looking forward to Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings, which was a far cry from the last time he played. He said that when he got out of bed that next day, Feb. 21, he fell to the floor at his home in excruciating pain.
"I called the trainer and said I didn't know if I was going to be able to get to my car to come in for treatment," Bogut said Monday after the Warriors' 125-118 win over the Raptors. "After about an hour, I literally crawled to my car."
With that episode in mind, just being a little slow is a quantum leap in physical recovery.
"It's to be expected because I didn't play for (11) days," Bogut said. "But my body feels pretty good otherwise."
That's particularly encouraging with the Kings on tap at Oracle Arena for the Warriors, who have been worn out by Sacramento big man DeMarcus Cousins in two losses this year. Cousins scored 23 points with 15 rebounds in a 94-92 Kings victory on Nov. 5 (a game in which Bogut played). Cousins had 24 points and seven rebounds in a 131-127 win on Dec. 19 with Bogut on the sideline.
"It's going to be tough," Bogut said of the 6-foot-11, 270-pound Cousins. "He's one of the best bigs in the league, a physical presence who's been playing very well for them. You have to do your work early against him and hopefully make him drift out and shoot jumpers."
Coach Mark Jackson agreed.
"We have to step up to the challenge and force him to make plays on our terms as opposed to his," Jackson said. "He has a history of playing extremely well against us, so we have to match his intensity. If you make him work for everything early, it gets interesting. But if he starts out with a couple of dunks, you're in for a long night."
While he didn't fare so well in the Nov. 5 game, Bogut wasn't right physically. He played only 18 minutes and would play just one more game afterward before missing 38 straight to rehabilitate a left ankle that wasn't responding to April surgery. Now, he feels he's more up to the task of facing Cousins, at least defensively and on the boards.
"He's a very underrated offensive rebounder," he said. "He can get physical in there and get a lot of loose balls and tip-ins, so you have to make sure that even when you're off the ball, your job isn't done."
Bogut's stat line from Monday night isn't going to wow anybody, but he did collect eight rebounds and also altered shots inside even though he was credited with just one block. In short, he was a presence the Warriors have sorely lacked defensively, not just because he can match up with other big men but because Golden State doesn't have to collapse inside to protect the paint.
Bogut said Tuesday that although he still needs a lot of work on his shooting touch and post-up moves, he feels he can give a representative effort defensively and on the boards. It doesn't bother him in the slightest that he scored only four points against the Raptors and is averaging just 6.8 points in the 13 games he has played.
"A lot of guys around the league can get big numbers and still be on losing teams," he said. "I don't mind if I'm not scoring. I just try to defend and rebound and make the right play, make the right pass. I don't look much in the numbers column, I look more in the letters column -- having more W's than L's is the most important thing."
For the Warriors right now, just having Bogut in the lineup is the most important thing.
"We know exactly who he is," Jackson said. "He gives us a totally different weapon than what we've had. We saw some flashes (Monday) night, and now it's just about him getting as healthy as possible."
"I feel like we've done enough talking," Jack said. "We've had enough team meetings about what we need to do to correct things. Let's lead by our actions. I tried to do that (Monday), and hopefully guys saw that.
"I thought collectively, we just got away from having fun -- smiling, laughing, high-fiving one another. Just play with a more carefree attitude, and give it everything you've got."
"Being chosen as one of eight teams to travel abroad to further develop the game of basketball and the NBA globally is an honor," said Rick Welts, Warriors president and chief operating officer.
The Warriors last took part in the Global Games program in 2008, playing two games against the Milwaukee Bucks in China.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --A discussion about Base Village at a meeting of part-time residents turned much more candid than a similar one a week before at Town Council.
Residents asked questions and made frank comments following a presentation by Dwayne Romero, president of Related Colorado, at a public forum conducted by the Citizens for Snowmass and the Part-Time Residents Advisory Board on Dec. 26.
Romero gave almost the same presentation to Town Council on Dec. 17, updating the officials on the progress his company has made since acquiring Base Village in September. Romero also explained to both groups that completing building 13B, a second Viceroy Snowmass campus, will be one of the next steps, beginning with a minor planned-unit development amendment request to change the approved sizes of the units.
A question-and-answer session followed Romero's presentation. One resident stepped forward to ask if Related has any plans to create a downtown core, saying that Snowmass is divided into three separate commercial areas.
"I think you're raking up against some of the core questions for the last 30 or 40 years now," Romero said. "It is obviously challenging to think about the three, but we're not just going to be able to lift things up and make them merge either. My personal view is that there's always going to be a need for a healthy, vibrant neighborhood center ... that should be connected ... not just by car but by other means. Beyond that and my crystal ball gets really fuzzy."
Advisory board president Mel Blumenthal next asked about the larger vision for Base Village, and if Related would be referring back to the numbers originally calculated for how much residential and commercial space would be ideal.
"It is relevant to go back and examine those scorecards and the internal statistics and those metrics that you described," Romero said. "But it's also important not to be ... tethered unnecessarily to some of those old metrics."
Romero did say that he would like to work with a third-party firm that specializes in methodologies like that, but not just to determine the number of residential offerings but the type that the market will demand in the long term.
Jerry Goldston, who owns a condo in Base Village, came to the podium to say that he found Related's plan
too conservative.
"I guess I find this so depressing, actually," he said. "I had hoped that when Related rebought this thing, you had bought it at a low enough price that you could afford to take more risk. ... What you've laid out here is the most conservative business plan I could imagine."
Goldston added that it seems like Related does not have a vision of what Base Village is.
"We have to have the vision for what that's going to be, even though it may be premature for you guys to jump on it," Blumenthal said.
"I'm actually flattered with the description of a conservative business plan," Romero said. "This has got a certain pace and a certain tempo. ... It has to be sustained over time."
Blumenthal countered that that attitude is informed by the downturn in the economy.
"But that wasn't the mindset when (Aspen Skiing Co.) and then Intrawest came in," he said. "They had no market information. They did take a risk."
"Yeah they took a big risk, (and) what happened?" Romero replied. "We may be guilty as charged, hyper-conservative ... but it is a safe and in my opinion very wise place to be in."
Next up to the microphone was Johnny Boyd, of the transportation department, who also suggested uniting the three commercial nodes somehow.
"I'll trade you the center and the mall if you'll build me a town in Base Village," Boyd said. "The trinodal thing doesn't work. ... Now you own it all, so put an urban planner, bring someone in here who can tell us what this resort needs to be a success."
"It's like I said before, it's on the radar," Romero said. "My hunch is that there's probably a three-volume set of that discussion. ... We're not averse to any of those concepts or conversations."
Blumenthal also asked if the 2014 expiration of some of the vested rights in Base Village would be an issue. Those rights would have been automatically extended if certain aspects of the project had been completed.
"It's almost liberating," Romero said. "It can't happen. We can't get there. ... It's good. It means that we're going to have some quality conversations across all stakeholders."
The Part-Time Residents Advisory Board exists as a communication liaison between the town and second-home owners in Snowmass, who can't vote here. To view the presentation and Q-and-A in its entirety, visit www.tosv.com.

Getting to Know U.S. Under-19 Attack
by Corey McLaughlin and Lane Errington | LaxMagazine.com
With the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Under-19 World Championship coming up July 12-21 in Turku, Finland, Lacrosse Magazine is taking a closer look at the U.S. U19 squad that will compete for a seventh straight gold medal.
Last week we looked at the midfield. Today: Team USA's attack group. Check back to LaxMagazine.com the next two Tuesdays for previews of USA's defense and goaltending.
Team USA's attack unit features the same kind of versatility as its midfield. "They all have a wide array of skills," said assistant coach Tom Duquette, also the head coach at Norfolk (Va.) Academy. "I'm not sure you can necessarily say what role these guys will be cast in: dodgers or feeders or guys who do both or step-down shooters."
If you're looking for experience, look no further than Daniel Eipp. He has already finished two seasons at Harvard and this spring was the Crimson's No. 2 scorer (24 goals, 18 assists). He also played in 16 games as a freshman. In addition to flashing his offensive skill at U19 tryouts, Eipp stood out with his relentless riding.
Matt Kavanagh has Canadian-like tendencies stemming from time spent playing youth hockey (his favorite non-lacrosse athlete is Chicago Blackhawks all-star Patrick Kane). Kavanagh was the go-to players for nationally ranked Chaminade (N.Y.) High before spending a post-graduate year at Hotchkiss School (Conn.). The Notre Dame-bound attackman led the U.S. with six goals and three assists in a 26-4 exhibition win over a group of Texas all-stars in November.
Ohio native Connor Buczek stood out early and throughout U19 team tryouts, and not only for his bright blue St. Xavier High helmet with the white "X" on the side.
"He's a pretty big kid and went to the cage really hard," Duquette said of the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder now at Cornell. "He also impressed the selectors with the intensity he brought to the game." Buczek was Lacrosse Magazine's Midwest Player of the Year as a high school senior and broke the state scoring record with 425 career points.
Kyle Keenan played at Smithtown West (N.Y.) High on Long Island, where he totaled a school-record 125 goals and 163 assists in his career. "He's got a very high lacrosse IQ," Duquette said. Keenan played in 15 games for national semifinalist Duke this spring as a reserve.
Joe Leonard is a Hicksville (N.Y.) High product that was named Nassau County Attackman of the Year in 2011. "He has the total package and pretty good size [6-foot, 215 pounds]," Duquette said. "He had a reputation as a guy who got the goal, but he displayed multiple skills at tryouts."

CORPUS CHRISTI – Very few coaches have achieved as much as Shawn Flanagan, Islanders Director of Track and Field and Cross Country, has in his 32-year career. Flanagan will now look to achieve the same success in the community while still leading his student-athletes in the classroom and on the track. The 13-year Islanders' head coach has been approved by the Corpus Christi City Council to serve as a representative of pedestrians for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee of the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC).
"I am very excited about the chance to serve," Flanagan said. "I think achieving the goal of making the city more accessible to bikers, runners and walkers would provide a great benefit to the community as a whole. I think my experiences will allow me to provide useful input in this process."
Flanagan's experience as the Islanders cross country and track and field coach along with his personal experience as a runner and walker made him a qualified candidate. As a member of the committee he will provide input and suggestions to the TAC and to the city on what the community needs along with what they can improve upon in regards to bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
The Islanders and Flanagan will be hosting their annual four-day cross country camp starting on Thursday, July 11. For more information or to register click here or contact Coach Flanagan at: 361-825-3212 or by email: email@example.com.
For the latest information, follow Islanders Cross Country and Track and Field on Twitter (@IslandersTFXC) and Facebook (Texas A&M Corpus Christi Track & Field/Cross Country).

There are more 300 species of primates in the worldfrom humans and apes to monkeys and prosimians ("premonkeys"). Several primate species have been discovered in Brazil and Madagascar in recent years.
The smallest primate is the pygmy mouse lemur, which can fit in the palm of your hand. The largest—the gorilla—can weigh more than 400 pounds. Most primates live in warm climates, and most depend on forests for their survival.
The most obvious differences between apes and monkeys are: apes don't have tails, and they are generally larger than most other primates. Like most rules, this one has exceptions: some monkeys lack tails and some are large. Gibbons, considered to be lesser apes, are smaller than some monkeys. Apes rely more on vision than smell, and their noses are short and broad, rather than snoutlike. Apes are capable of creating tools and using language. They have complex social lives and are capable thinkers and problem-solvers.
Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, and Bonobos live in Africa and Asia.
Gibbons and Siamangs live in Asia.
Old World monkeys: baboons, macaques, and colobus monkeys live in Africa and Asia; New World monkeys: marmosets, tamarins, and capuchins live in South and Central America
lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers live in Africa and Asia
Because gorillas and humans are so closely related, most diseases can be transmitted from humans to gorillas and vice versa. This is the reason for the glass enclosures at the National Zoo's Great Ape House. The glass prevents any exchange of disease between visitors and gorillas.
In addition, infant gorillas receive the same inoculations as human babies. They also receive tetanus, and rabies inoculations throughout their lives.

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez during the recent presidential election which he won. This weekend Chavez revealed his cancer had returned. (AP Photo/Rodrigo Abd)
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced that his cancer has returned and that he will undergo another surgery in Cuba.
He told a TV audience Saturday night, that he would return to the island on Sunday to undergo surgery in the coming days.
Chavez called it a "new battle." It will be his third operation to remove cancerous tissue in about a year and a half.
Chavez, who won re-election on Oct. 7, also said for the first time that if his health were to worsen, his successor would be Vice President Nicolas Maduro.
The 58-year-old president said tests had shown a return of "some malignant cells" in the same area where tumors were previously removed.
Chavez first underwent cancer surgery for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer in Cuba in June 2011. He had another cancer surgery last February after a tumor appeared in the same area. He has also undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Chavez made his most recent trip to Cuba on the night of Nov. 27, saying he would receive hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Such treatment is regularly used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation treatment.
CAIRO (AP) -- Members of an Egyptian presidential national dialogue committee have recommended that a referendum on a disputed constitution be held on schedule but that the president rescinds some powers he had given himself.
The statement came after a meeting Saturday that was boycotted by the main opposition leaders who had protested the referendum. It did not suggest that President Mohammed Morsi meet demands for the Dec. 15 vote to be canceled.
Opposition protesters are holding a sit-in outside the presidential palace and are calling for more protests on Sunday.
An Islamist at the meeting says the committee found it would be a violation of earlier decisions to change the date of the referendum.
However, the committee recommended removing articles that granted Morsi powers to declare emergency laws and shield him from judicial oversight. Panel members say Morsi had approved the recommendations.
The decision is unlikely to appease the opposition since it recommends the referendum go ahead as scheduled. Morsi's initial declaration was to be rendered ineffective anyway after the constitution is approved.
CAIRO (AP) -- A sit-in by opponents of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's continues around the presidential palace in Cairo today.
Soldiers have sealed off the palace with tanks and barbed wire, and Egypt's military leaders are wading into the political crisis after protests turned violent this week.
The turmoil began last month after Morsi granted himself authority free of judicial oversight and his Islamist allies rushed together a draft constitution. The move touched off street clashes between the president's supporters and protesters accusing him of becoming a new strongman. At least six civilians have been killed and several offices of the president's Muslim Brotherhood torched in the unrest.
In a statement today, the military warns of "disastrous consequences" if the crisis is not resolved and saying dialogue is the "best and only" way to overcome the conflict. The military says it will not allow the country to fall into "a dark tunnel" of violence.
Morsi too has called for a dialogue, but the main opposition leaders declined to attend a proposed session today. They say talks can only take place if Morsi rescinds his decrees and cancels the Dec. 15 referendum on the constitution.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea says it's "seriously examining" the possibility of changing a launch window for a rocket it had planned to fire sometime after Monday.
The short statement in state media early Sunday by an unnamed spokesman for North Korea's space agency gave few details.
It says scientists are making preparations for liftoff but "are now seriously examining the issue of readjusting the launching time of the satellite for some reasons."
The United Nations and others call the launch a cover for a test of technology for a missile that could be used to target the United States.
North Korea says it's for a peaceful space program. The previously announced launch window runs from Monday to Dec. 22.
New satellite images indicate snow may have slowed preparations, but that Pyongyang could still be ready for liftoff Monday
NEW BATAAN, Philippines (AP) -- A typhoon that killed nearly 600 people and left hundreds missing in the southern Philippines has made a U-turn and is now threatening the country's northwest
The country's weather bureau raised storm warnings over parts of the main northern island of Luzon today after Typhoon Bopha veered northeast. Forecasters say there's a strong possibility the storm would make a second landfall tomorrow, though it also could make a loop and remain in the South China Sea.
In either case, the storm is moving close to shore and disaster officials are warning of heavy rains and winds and possible landslides in the mountains.
Another calamity in the north would stretch recovery efforts thin. Most government resources, including army and police, are currently focused on the south, where the typhoon struck Tuesday.
Officials in the south say search teams are working without the help of local guides because many survivors there are still in shock.
Soldiers, police and outside volunteers continue to search for bodies or signs of life under the tons of fallen trees and boulders swept down from the steep hills that surround the worst-hit town of New Bataan.
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- A group of Vietnamese have demonstrated against China amid rising tensions over Beijing's claims to the South China Sea.
The protest Sunday by about 150 people was watched over by police.
Anger at China is a sensitive issue for Vietnam's fellow communist rulers, which are worried that popular ire at Beijing could also be directed at them.
Vietnam and China have long sparred over who owns the South China Sea, but America's diplomatic tilt to Southeast Asia and China's growing assertiveness has focused attention on the issue.
Vietnam last week alleged that Chinese shipping vessels sabotaged one of its seismic survey vessels in the South China Sea.
China's recent issuing of new passports containing a map showing the sea as belonging to it has also caused anger in Hanoi.
MOSCOW (AP) -- "Men in Black" agents K and J may be about to recruit a new Russian assistant: Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev has spoken about top secret files on aliens that may have landed in Russia.
In footage recorded Friday after a television interview, the former president joked that each Russian leader gets two folders with information about extraterrestrials that visited our planet -- and stayed here.
Unseen on camera footage, he is heard telling a Ren TV journalist he could not tell "how many of them are among us, because it may cause panic." He said more details could be found in Barry Sonnenfeld's "Men in Black" films.
During his 2008-2012 presidency, Medvedev showed a sense of humor slightly more subtle than Putin's sometimes brutal jokes.
LONDON (AP) -- Pakistan's president has visited a British hospital where a 15-year-old schoolgirl is being treated after being shot in the head by a Taliban gunman.
Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital says Asif Ali Zardari met with doctors treating Malala Yousafzai during a visit Saturday.
It said that the leader was briefed about Malala's medical progress, before having a private meeting with the girl's father and brothers.
Malala was airlifted to the hospital after she was targeted on Oct. 9 by militants in the northwest Swat Valley.
The Taliban targeted Malala for criticizing the militant group and promoting secular girls' education, which is opposed by the Islamist extremists.
Iran police confiscate over 11 tons of narcotics
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran's state TV says the country's border police have confiscated over 11 tons of narcotics after fierce clashes with drug traffickers in southeastern Iran, the biggest single consignment ever seized in Iran's war against drugs.
It quoted provincial border police chief, Gen. Qolam Nabi Kouhkan, as saying Saturday that the various narcotics were seized from traffickers Friday night.
One of the drug traffickers was killed and several others injured in the armed clashes that took place on Iran's border with Pakistan.
Kouhkan said the operation was helped by tips from locals, and that traffickers had carried the drugs on camels from Pakistan.
Iran lies on a major drug route between Afghanistan and Europe, as well as the Persian Gulf states, where the confiscation of large amounts of narcotics is common.
Thousands protest Tunisian union amid tensions
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) -- ?Tens of thousands of hardline Muslims took to the streets across Tunisia to show support for the ruling party and protest a general strike called by the country's most powerful labor union.
The moderate Islamist Ennahda party and the UGTT union are at loggerheads, a dispute that descended into days of riots recently as Tunisians vented their frustration over the country's stagnant economy. Many blame Ennahda for doing too little to reduce unemployment and curb police abuses -- the same complaints that drove Tunisia's revolution.
On Saturday, protests led by imams called for a purge of the union and for the implementation of Sharia law.
While the protesters were showing support for Ennahda, the party has also been under pressure from hardline Muslims who think it is too moderate.
Yemen: 8 soldiers killed in militant ambush near oil pipeline
SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- Yemen's defense ministry says eight soldiers including a senior officer were killed in an ambush by militants today.
The soldiers had been visiting a main oil pipeline that had been destroyed in an earlier attack.
Security officials said earlier that they believed the militants in the attack were from al-Qaida.
The army began an offensive last week in the restive, oil-rich province east of the capital to target militants who had repeatedly attacked the pipeline and power lines in recent weeks. A defense ministry statement confirms that the chief-of-staff for Yemen's central military region was killed in the attack.
The militants stole six military vehicles in the ambush.
The U.S. considers the al-Qaida branch in Yemen to be the world's most active and has helped Yemen's government intensify its campaign against militants.

The 1913 flood was one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit the United States. The impact it had on the state of Ohio was immense, in terms of total amount of flooding and loss of life. Tom Rieder, a reference librarian at the Ohio Historical Society has sifted through much of the detailed records regarding the 1913 flood and is aware of a great deal of information on the subject.
Question: Is the 1913 flood the worst natural disaster that Ohio has ever faced in your opinion, and why or why not?
Answer:Yes, it was the worst that Ohio has ever faced. It was a rare weather event where heavy rainfall fell on both sides of the Ohio Watershed. Rivers and streams that flow into Lake Erie and the Ohio River were both greatly affected.
Q: This storm impacted other states, but Ohio was one of the worst hit. Why was that?
A: Ohio is kind of unique in the sense that a number of its cities were population centers that were heavily industrialized. Many of the areas had cleared trees and other ground cover that helps reduce the impact of runoff. That's why Dayton was impacted so much because it went through a rapid growth period just before this flood. When the heavy rains came all three rivers overflowed and spilled into the city causing some very severe damage.
Q: What communities were hit worst by this natural disaster?
A: In the Scioto River Valley, Columbus, Chilocothe and Portsmouth were the worst affected. In the Great and Little Miami River valleys Dayton, Hamilton and Cincinnati were hit hard by the flooding. The Muskingum River affected Zanesville and Marietta while the Sandusky River Valley hit Tiffin and Freemont. All of these cities were hit quite hard by the flood waters in terms of damage done. As far as a death toll went Dayton, Columbus and Hamilton were three of the worst affected cities.
Q: Were there any cities that never fully recovered?
A: The city of Hamilton took as long as three years to rebuild all of its bridges, but all of the cities eventually recovered. Some smaller towns may never have been the same, but they were eventually rebuilt to some extent as well. The town of Lowell for example was completely underwater and the telephone exchange was destroyed.
Q: Did the flood affect communities that weren't close to rivers and water sources, and how so?
A: Yes, it did affect these communities because they became isolated. As the ground became saturated telephone and telegraph poles toppled. Many areas couldn't travel in any direction because surrounding areas were completely flooded. They were exposed to a lack of communication and resources and in some cases had to help with refugees from other areas.
Q: How did the governor handle this disaster?
A: Gov. Cox called up the National Guard for both relief efforts and to maintain public safety. He actually declared martial law in Zanesville and Dayton. The state's resources were directed toward sanitation and relief efforts and he was a supporter of using the Red Cross as a principle distributor of disaster relief.
Q: How long did it take for things to return to normal in the state?
A: It basically took the rest of 1913 for cities to get back on their feet.
This interview was conducted by Christian Hudspeth.

Man accidentally shoots himself at grocery store
Published: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
A man was injured by a bullet from the gun he was carrying in a grocery store Saturday night.
The man, 59, was shopping at Winn-Dixie in the Five Points area at 9 p.m. when he dropped a .25-caliber handgun, said Sgt. Dale Phillips, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander.
He was expected to undergo surgery to remove the bullet that struck his leg and traveled up to his hip.
No one else in the grocery store was injured.
The man had a permit for the small handgun, which Phillips said had been concealed in a pocket holster.

Claude Vivier1948 - 1983
Considered by many to be the greatest composer Canada has yet produced * Murdered at the age of 34, left behind 49 compositions in a variety of genres, including opera, orchestral works, and chamber pieces * In early 1970s, studied composition with Stockhausen in Cologne * A visit to Bali in 1976 proved pivotal, causing him to re-evaluate his ideas on the role of the artist in society * Visionary works that followed featured texts in an invented language, modal melodies harmonized by a complex overtone series, and shimmering orchestration * Called by György Ligeti "the greatest French composer of his generation" * Other advocates include Mauricio Kagel, Reinbert de Leeuw, David Robertson, and Dawn Upshaw
Works by Claude Vivier include:
Lonely Child (1980) for soprano and orchestra
Kopernikus (1979) opera in two acts
Siddhartha (1976) for orchestra

Looking Ahead: Claude Vivier's Zipangu is heard in the ballet titled Continu, choreographed by Sasha Waltz and featuring Sasha Waltz & Guests with the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, performed at Austria's Festspielhaus in September.
"In his short life and his art, the French Canadian composer Claude Vivier was a man diving, often recklessly, into the ultimate….And from the edge of experience, he began to bring back, in the years leading up to his death in 1983, a new sound." – Paul Griffiths, The New York Times

The suspect in a shooting Thursday morning at the Sierra View development in Chestnuthill Township is in custody.
A Pennsylvania State Police SWAT team was at the house on Grand Mesa Drive this afternoon. The suspect was not there and apparently turned himself in at a separate location. He has since been taken to the state police Fern Ridge barracks.
Earlier, police were looking for a red SUV with three black male occupants in connection with the shooting.
Around 11 a.m., a man was flown by helicopter to the hospital after he was reportedly shot several times, including once in the stomach, by his brother. He was reported to be in surgery late this afternoon.

Did you leave some poo on the subway this morning?
A tipster sent in this poo-rtrait of some (possibly your) poo, snapped on the R train during rush hour. The origins are unclear:
Can't tell if it's human or dog poo; but poo is poo.
If you or your dog did lose some poo, you have 30 minutes to collect it before it becomes official property of the R train.
Tick tock.

Creamy Cannellini Bean Soup
I'm back with a grown up recipe (it even includes wine!) but.... it's still pureed. Are you going to abandon me again or accept that a pureed soup can be a wonderful thing. You see, we grown ups are allowed to add salt, and herbs and wine and all the other goodies that infants can't have, so even though this still may appear to look like baby food, it's not. And when you top it with God's greatest gift since the forbidden apple (bacon!) you end up with a very tasty soup.
Now, I do realize that I shouldn't be posting soup recipes until the weather cools off, but darn it, I miss my soups! I love making them and I love eating them. So if you bear with me for posting a soup recipe this side of Labor Day, I won't report you for wearing white on the other side of Labor Day. Deal?
Make note that I added tomato paste to this recipe as written,but when I made it I used a weak tomato puree leftover from making my tomato sauce last week. My tomatoes were particularly juicy and I hated to waste the tomato water I filtered out of my puree, so I froze it.
Yeah, I save half-used kleenex and twice-used baggies too. However, I do promise you that I stop short of saving my clothes dryer lint for stuffing pillows. One can only be so frugal before it borders on neurotic.... nuff said.
Creamy White Bean Soup
6 slices center cut bacon, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 celery stalk, including leaves, diced
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 TBSP tomato paste
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp fresh sage, chopped
1/4 cup white wine (I used pinot grigio)
4 cups chicken broth
2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium potato, peeled, small cubed
In large soup pot fry bacon pieces over medium low heat until crisp. Center cut bacon has less fat to render than regular bacon, so you'll want to fry it low and slow. Remove bacon pieces from pot to drain on paper towels. Set bacon aside to use as garnish You should now have about a tablespoon of bacon drippings left in pot.
Add the onion, carrot and celery to pot. Season with pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and saute until onions are translucent, 5-7 minutes. I typically season these veggies with salt as well as pepper while they saute, but the bacon grease is usually salty enough. You can add salt later if needed.
Add the minced garlic, tomato paste, thyme and sage and saute for another minute or two. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, potato and cannellini beans.
Bring to a boil, reduced heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are completely cooked. Check to see if soup needs additional salt. Working in batches, transfer soup to blender and puree. Return puree to soup pot and reheat.
Served topped with a generous (and I do mean generous) amount of bacon crumbles and freshly ground black pepper.

Hi, Mags! This looks so delicious. I love all of the flavors. Hubby would love the bacon!
My tomatoe sauce/pizza sauce was amazing. Thanks. I just wish I'd had a few more tomatoes. The grilled pizza was interesting. We will make again. I didn't take pics because I wasn't happy with the look. Now I see grilled pizza blogs out there where they look just like mine did :)

Town Center complex hearing set for Nov. 20
City leaders will hold a special meeting Tuesday to consider special allowances for a planned 72-condominium development near Lafayette BART.
Officials will discuss approvals for a smaller, four-story building than initially proposed and an amendment to the city's BART Block Specific Plan which sets building heights at three stories and 35 feet in an area of downtown. The project is the third phase of the Town Center project of shops and apartments near mass transit.
The council voted in October to send plans for the third phase of the Town Center project back to the city's design review and planning commissions after discussing the building's design and mass. They heard a suggestion this week from city staff to approve the project with the condition it be sent back to the Design Review Commission for more work on plans for the building's exterior. Council members voted to continue the matter. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center, 3491 Mt. Diablo Boulevard.
Moraga leaders propose Adobe preservation plan
Town leaders are reaching out to the Orinda City Council to preserve a historic adobe on land planned for development.
In a letter to Orinda council members, Moraga leaders offer several suggestions to protect the Joaquin Moraga Adobe and preserve it as an educational resource for all. They include giving a nonprofit, regional, state or other group the opportunity to purchase the Adobe and a nearby lot, and transferring the adobe to a public or nonprofit entity.
Some Orinda and Moraga residents have objected to plan by J & J Ranch LLC to construct a 13-lot subdivision surrounding the adobe. The Orinda City Council approved initial plans Oct. 9.
The Orinda council is scheduled to hear an appeal of the project Nov. 27.

Bringing Science to Life for Patients
Dr. Bill Chin takes helm of PhRMA's Scientific & Regulatory Affairs
08.15.13 | By Dr. William "Bill" Chin, M.D.
As I read the Wall Street Journal's article this week on gene breakthroughs in cancer treatment, I felt a range of emotions. First was excitement. Decades of devotion to research have taken science to new heights and it's important that people are aware of the tremendous progress that has been made. This awareness is what saved the life of Kellie Carey featured in the story. Next was hope. Ron Winslow's profile of this tenacious woman's battle with lung cancer is a powerful example of the hope we can have for continued incremental advances in treatments and, eventually, cures. And last was pride. I've spent my whole career in medicine and know firsthand many health professionals, academics, scientists, regulators, and biopharmaceutical researchers who have dedicated their lives to trying to save others. Through their collective work, we're finally gaining a better understanding of the genetic links to cancer, which will ultimately enable us to defeat cancer's pathways to abnormal growth and spread. We should take a moment to savor this collective victory, but we also cannot forget we still have a long way to go.
I'm Bill Chin and the latest PhRMA face to join The Catalyst dialogue. I'm the new Executive Vice President of PhRMA's Scientific & Regulatory Affairs department. I take on this leadership role just when science and transformative biomedical advances are coming into their own. New therapies are improving the quality and length of life and, since 1980, the five year survival rate for cancer patients has increased by nearly 40 percent. Science – and the resulting medicine and other therapeutics – is the key to solving our health problems.
I am a physican, an endocrinologist and an academic at heart, including a former Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. After 25 years in research, teaching, patient care and administration, I bridged another critical link in our healthcare ecosystem and led Eli Lilly's global drug discovery and clinical investigation efforts for a number of years. I was at Eli Lilly for 11 years before returning to Harvard Medical School to serve as Executive Dean of Research. And now I come to PhRMA to help ensure the biopharmaceutical voice is recognized within the discovery ecosystem and to help advance the scientific and regulatory processes so they keep pace with the rapidly evolving drug development system. The biopharmaceutical sector is a crucial player in bringing science to life and putting it into the hands of patients. This is a natural place for me to continue advancing cutting edge science while raising the bar for the entire healthcare sector. When it comes to science, we must all embrace the unexplored path, including a regulatory system that supports this pioneering work.
I look forward to keeping you updated on my efforts at PhRMA to elevate science and the voice of the biopharmaceutical sector in transforming science into vital medicines and other therapies.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
What is Constipation?
In this article
Being constipated means your bowel movements are difficult or happen less often than normal. Almost everyone has it at some point in life, and it's usually not serious. Still, you'll feel much better when your system is back on track.
The normal length of time between bowel movements varies widely from person to person. Some people have bowel movements three times a day. Others have them only once or twice a week.
Recommended Related to Digestive Disorders
Read the Picture of the Appendix article > >
Going longer than three or more days without one is usually too long. After three days, the stool or feces become harder and tougher to pass.
What Are the Symptoms?
You may have:
- Few bowel movements
- Trouble having a bowel movement (straining)
- Hard or small stools
- A sense that everything didn't come out
- Swollen abdomen or abdominal pain
- Vomiting
Why Does It Happen?
Some causes of constipation include:
- Antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminum
- Changes in your usual diet or activities
- Colon cancer
- Eating a lot of dairy products.
- Eating disorders
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis
- Not being active
- Not enough water or fiber in your diet
- Overuse of laxatives (Over time, this weakens the bowel muscles)
- Pregnancy
- Problems with the nerves and muscles in the digestive system
- Resisting the urge to have a bowel movement, which some people do because of hemorrhoids
- Some medications (especially strong pain drugs such as narcotics, antidepressants, or iron pills)
- Stress
- Under active thyroid (hypothyroidism)
How Do Doctors Diagnose It?
If you have trouble with your bowel movements for more than two weeks, you should see your doctor. He or she may ask for these tests to find the cause of your constipation:
- Blood tests to check on hormone levels
- Barium studies to look for any blockages in your colon. For this test, you'll down a special drink and then get an X-ray.
- Colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon
What Should I Do If I Am Constipated?
Try these steps:
- Drink two to four extra glasses of water a day (unless your doctor told you to limit fluids for another health reason).
- Try warm liquids, especially in the morning.
- Add fruits and vegetables to your diet.
- Eat prunes and bran cereal.
- If needed, use a very mild over-the-counter stool softener like docusate (Peri-Colace) or a laxative like magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia). Do not use laxatives for more than two weeks without calling your doctor. Laxative overuse can worsen your symptoms.

Long before Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) paid $11 billion for what turned out to be its disastrous purchase of Autonomy, a handful of industry experts were raising red flags about the British software company's accounting practices and claims of continuous growth.
HP said this month that it only recently discovered what it characterized as fraud and other problems that made it realize it spent billions of dollars too much on the deal. But a vocal group of critics -- albeit a minority at the time -- were sounding alarms about the company as far back as 2007.
In a 2009 report, for instance, one analyst termed some of its financial statements "wrong and misleading." The following year, another said its "earnings momentum appears to be negative." And after HP announced its plan to buy the company in August 2011, a third analyst predicted the acquisition would "destroy" HP's stock value.
With sales of their computer gear faltering, HP's leaders had desperately hoped to transform the company with Autonomy's products. But the transaction has turned into one of the most embarrassing debacles in the storied Palo Alto corporation's history. And many critics contend HP never should have done the deal given what some experts had long been saying about the software company.
"Our concern was the organic growth that Autonomy was reporting was overstated," said Dan Mahoney, research director at CFRA, summarizing the skepticism of other analysts. While not alleging fraud, Mahoney said his forensic accounting firm began sounding alarms in reports to its investor clients in 2007, adding "it seemed like they were constantly moving things around in their financial statements to make things appear better than they are."
HP now admits it erred in paying what it did, claiming it was duped about the British company's sales. But while acknowledging in a statement to this newspaper that it had been aware of apprehensions expressed about Autonomy, it said it had "relied on the audited financial statements and the representations of Autonomy's management and its auditors."
In an interview with CNBC two weeks ago, Meg Whitman, who had been on HP's board when the deal was announced in August 2011 and became CEO in September, a month before the Autonomy purchase was finalized, said "I regret that I voted for this deal but we are where we are."
Whitman added that "after we announced the acquisition there were a number of blogs that came to the fore about potential issues at Autonomy." But she said "the former management team ran that to ground and came up with the conclusion that there was nothing there ... Obviously we know different now."
HP has asked U.S. and British regulators to conduct a "civil and criminal investigation" of the transaction, but Autonomy's former CEO Mike Lynch has denied his company misrepresented its finances.
Founded in 1996, the software company was little known in the United States, but favored by many European investors because of its record of rapid growth and its reputation for cutting-edge technology. With its sophisticated search engine for analyzing commercial data, Autonomy made an attractive purchase for Léo Apotheker, who was hired to be HP's CEO in November 2010 at a crucial time for the computer giant -- after a previous CEO had been forced out and as new technology trends were threatening to undercut HP's business.
Profit margins in HP's computer hardware business were shrinking in the face of low-cost competitors and changing consumer habits. Meanwhile, big competitors like IBM and Oracle (ORCL) were far ahead in the race to sell sophisticated commercial software that could help corporate customers sort through mountains of business data. Apotheker hoped that buying Autonomy would jump-start HP's move into the software business, which carried the promise of higher profit margins and rapidly growing demand.
Nonetheless, some industry experts had been issuing caveats about Autonomy for years.
In August 2009, Paul Morland of London brokerage Peel Hunt issued the warning about Autonomy's statements being "wrong and misleading." He followed that with other reports that Autonomy's "track record over the last few years has been exaggerated," and that it "needs to make an acquisition every twelve to eighteen months in order to sustain its apparent high rate of growth."
Some critics questioned the value of Autonomy's main product, a search engine called IDOL.
"There was some brilliant technology there," said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, a software industry expert at 451 Research. But he said it was expensive and so cumbersome that some early customers struggled to make it work.
Another skeptic was James Chanos of the hedge fund Kynikos Associates, one of the world's best known "short sellers," who make money betting that companies' shares will fall. In a speech explaining why he bet against Autonomy in 2010 -- months before HP bought the company -- he said "the accounting was absolutely dreadful, a disaster."
Autonomy didn't take kindly to such sniping. Pelz-Sharpe said it stopped talking to him. Other analysts dubious of the firm said it threatened them with lawsuits or punished them in other ways.
One of them was Daud Khan, who wrote a critical report on Autonomy for J.P. Morgan in September 2010. In an interview last week, Khan said he had become convinced "the wheels were starting to come off the business in late 2010."
Criticism continued through 2011 -- right up to HP's announcement in August that it planned to buy Autonomy. Deutsche Bank analyst Marc Geall in March 2011 wrote of Autonomy's sales that "things are looking bad."
HP's announcement on Aug. 18, 2011, that it was buying the company stunned some analysts. While applauding the goal of expanding HP's software offerings, they said the $11 billion price was too steep.
"We believe HP overpaid by $2 (billion) to $3 billion," groused Brian Alexander of the Raymond James investment firm. Calling it "a rich, ill-timed acquisition," Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore predicted the deal would "destroy" the value of HP's stock.
Two weeks before HP's board gave final approval to the transaction on Oct. 3, Larry Ellison, CEO of Redwood City software giant Oracle, said he turned down a chance to buy Autonomy after determining its $6 billion market value "was absurdly high." Even some top HP executives were concerned about the price. Among them, an HP representative confirmed, was its Chief Financial Officer Cathie Lesjak, who urged the board not to do the deal.
It didn't take long for the purchase to turn problematic.
On May 23, Whitman, who replaced Apotheker, reported that "Autonomy had a very disappointing license revenue quarter, with a significant decline year-over-year, resulting in a shortfall to our expectations."
Then, on Nov. 20, HP stunningly announced it had written down $8.8 billion for Autonomy, with more than $5 billion for "accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures" related to Autonomy's business.
It said it only discovered the problems after an Autonomy official came forward with the allegations. But a shareholder lawsuit filed after the disclosure accuses HP's board and top executives of having "consciously disregarded numerous red flags" about Autonomy.
John Hempton, an Australian money manager who has closely followed HP's Autonomy acquisition, said the fiasco offers two painful lessons. For one thing, he said, companies venturing into unfamiliar product lines through an acquisition need to be wary of "getting suckered." And they better heed the warnings of analysts covering the company being bought, he said, because those analysts "probably know a few things."

Legislated theft
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
To the editor: The city of Asheville is under attack. No, not by al-Qaida but by state GOP Reps. Tim Moffitt, Nathan Ramsey and Chuck McGrady. It is a hostile and irresponsible attack on our infrastructure with House Bill 488 that will financially cripple our city by forcibly merging Ashevilles public water utility with the Metropolitan Sewerage District (MSD).
This is an outright seizure of a citys asset against the citizens wishes. No compensation is offered for the taking of this excellent municipal asset, which is valued between $57 million (low-ball MSD estimate) and $1.3 billion. Asheville stands to lose $1.9 million a year from the water utilitys portion of shared central services. As the financial hub of Western North Carolina, this will impact more than 1.3 million people living in 23 counties and negatively impact the regions business growth and development.
Moffitt & Co.s HB488 is legislated theft on a grand scale. How ironic coming from Republicans and their supposed bedrock values of local home rule, pro business and growth; and their supposed values that harp against freeloaders and government overreach.
Beware N.C. cities the N.C. GOP is coming after your assets and you local self-determination. Call and write to your N.C. legislators and vote in 2014.

Comedy magic
To the editor: March 30 was a dress rehearsal for The Odd Couple, and I was lucky enough to witness it. I decided to get a letter straight off to the paper because this show is comedy magic like the best you have ever seen on the Flat Rock Playhouse stage.
The actors made sure the themes of friendship and loyalty, which are as much a part of Neil Simons story as the fantastic laugh lines, were clearly felt without even seeming to try. I cant imagine anyone who wouldnt fall in love with this production, whether its your first time ever seeing it or if you grew up on the play, movie and TV show.
Make a date with your spouse or a friend, save $10 with the Thank You Henderson County discount for county residents, and go see this show!
Aubry Carmody
Thanks, Flat Rock
To the editor: The residents of Hendersonville should send thank-you letters to the Flat Rock Village Council for its recent decision to purchase the Highland Lake golf course.
The purchase is being paid for with excess property taxes paid by the property owners in Flat Rock, and any future obligations for upkeep will also be paid for by property owners in Flat Rock. Residents of Hendersonville and Henderson County will have use of the facilities without any financial obligations. So, enjoy.

The Great Spirit
To the editor: Folks like to argue about social concerns such as abortion and gay marriage. Sometimes the arguments are reinforced by cherry-picking statements from the Bible. These statements provide the basis and authority for their position.
A second argument is often given that says if we become more liberal, then society will spiral downward into chaos. Others argue that all humans should be treated equally and we must not discriminate based on race, religion or sexual orientation.
A few days ago, I was talking with the Great Spirit, and the Spirit told me that God doesnt think highly of arguments based on the Bible or arguments about society falling apart.
The Great Spirit told me Gods primary focus is on how humans treat each other. He wanted to remind us that we should love and respect all fellow humans. We should treat others as we would like to be treated. What a simple solution to our social problems!

Kevin Tayler was educated at Dursley Grammar School in Gloucestershire and then studied Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham, graduating in 1968 with a First Class Honours degree. Periods working for a contractor, a local authority (Cardiff City Corporation) and a consulting firm followed.
An MSc in Maritime Civil Engineering at Manchester University in 1973/4 led to a period with the Clyde River Purification Board, developing mathematical models to simulate the pollution of the Clyde estuary.
After a period with Southern Water, Kevin spent two years in Juba, Southern Sudan as adviser on water supply and sanitation to the Regional Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities. Shortly after returning to the UK in 1983, he joined Gilmore Hankey Kirke (later GHK), a London based consulting firm and spent 18 years with the firm, working in Egypt, Pakistan and India among others.
This experience introduced him to the challenges associated with urban housing and infrastructure provision in low income countries. For the last five years of his time with GHK, he managed GHK Research and Training, which carried out research, mainly for DFID on aspects of urbanisation, sanitation and participatory approaches to infrastructure provision. One outcome of this work was the book 'Urban Sanitation: A Guide to Strategic Planning', published by Practical Action in 2003.
He left GHK in 2001 and since then has worked as an independent consultant. For several years, he was a member of the informal Sanitation and Wastewater Advisory Team (SWAT) established by the World Bank Water Anchor in Washington, in which capacity he provided guidance on projects in Ethiopia, Pakistan and India.
He is currently working for the World Bank and WSP (the Water and Sanitation Program) on projects in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia. He has provided inputs to the School's's Planning City Futures course and its predecessors for several years and has also supervised several Masters student dissertations. He is a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management.
