Comments: Really nice pants, hold up really well and are probably the best pants for the price. Don't have all the bells and whistles, but can't beat them for the money.
From: Chris, Long Island, NY
Comments: great pants for a great price. Lightweight and cool but with reinforced knees. Nice adjustable waist. One minor gripe, pants are really baggy on bottom. They give more than enough room for ice hockey shin pads. Otherwise, highly recommended.
From: Todd, Southington, CT
Comments: These are really good entry level roller pants. I like how they breathe as it can get really hot during indoor play. I bought a large, I am 6'1 and have a 36" waist and they fit perfect with the adjustable straps.
From: Casey, TX
Comments: Surprisingly good pants. Very light, breathable material. Reinforced knees are pretty sturdy and held up to my first couple of practices and games just fine. My first pair disappeared from my locker so I had to a buy new pants, and I came right back to these!
From: Korey, Middletown, Ohio
Comments: Really solid roller pants. I've used them in a few games, and they show no signs of wear. Cheap price, and they look good. Definitely a must have for roller.

Facebook is under fire for conducting a secret mood test on thousands of users.
Facebook along with researchers at three universities conducted the experiment in early 2012. They manipulated news feed content to see how users would emotionally react to the posts.
The study found that users that were shown more negative content were slightly more likely to write negative posts. While users in the positive group responded with more upbeat posts.
Facebook's term of service gives the company permission to conduct this kind of research, but many users have reacted with anger at what they say is a dangerous social experiment.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2012
WAYNESBORO, Ga. -- Four teenagers charged with burglary in Waynesboro went before a juvenile judge Thursday afternoon and News 12 had the only camera in the courtroom.
The boys were arrested earlier this week in what police officers are calling an organized crime ring. Investigators believe they're responsible for at least seven burglaries and car break-ins.
After laying down the law, Juvenile Court Judge Doug Flanagan decided he would move forward with felony burglary charges. He also set bond and strict curfew for the four teenagers. The boys had their feet shackled as they walked into the Burke County courtroom.
Investigators say the teenagers were terrorizing a neighborhood, working with two men, including 19-year old Devante Sharpe.They say the two men were the ringleaders, taking orders in town for items and then sending the juveniles into homes to steal them. Things like electronics, jewelry and other stolen goods.
The boys range in age from 13 to 16. Two of them are brothers, who play football for the school, one in eight grade and the other in ninth grade.
Several parents and guardians were there and spoke to the judge about the charges. They all said they were surprised by the alleged crimes and say the boys are good students -- that have made some bad choices.
Flanagan granted a bond of $3,000 for each teen, as well as a 7 p.m. daily curfew.
"Some of them are hanging around with some adults and a lot of times they're easily led, but you notice the adults were not here sticking up for them," Flanagan said. "The only people here today were their parents, and I tell all young teenagers, you know, when you get in trouble, your parents and the people that love you will be here. Your friends are not going to come forward and say, 'I committed the crime, give the blame to me.'"
Because they're charged with a felony, the boys can also not return to school until their case goes to court. They're facing anywhere from one to five years behind bars.
A another 12-year-old juvenile was not in court. He was taken to the Youth Detention Center earlier this week. The second adult suspect is still on the loose.
Officers have been able to recover some of the stolen property, but if you think you have some stolen goods, turn them in, as you could be charged with receiving stolen property.

Updated on June 15, 2015 to include data for the period 1990-2013.
About the DMC Databook
What's new:
With the June 2015 update, the following new features have been added to the National DMC Databook:
NOTE: With the June 2015 update, national estimates of the youth population and juvenile court cases were updated to include data from 2013. The 2013 national juvenile arrest estimates have yet to be released. As such, all 2013 display tables will use the 2012 national arrest estimates.
The National Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) Databook is designed to give users an understanding of the Relative Rate Index (RRI) and an assessment of the levels of disproportionate minority contact at various stages of juvenile justice system processing at the national level. New users should review the sections entitled "What is an RRI?" and "Constructing an RRI Matrix". The first briefly discusses the benefits in using an RRI Matrix to investigate disproportionate minority contact within a jurisdiction. The second discusses how an RRI Matrix can be prepared using available information and the compromises that at times need to occur. For a more detailed discussion of these topics, users are encouraged to review Chapter One of the online Disproportionate Minority Contact Technical Assistance Manual.
In the National DMC Databook, users can review the raw counts and rates that characterize the processing of delinquency cases by the juvenile justice system and then study the RRI Matrix that helps to pinpoint and quantify the levels of racial disparity introduced at various decision points with the system. For those who need assistance, some possible interpretations of the most current RRI Matrices are given, as are interpretations of the trends in the level of disparity for each decision point. It is hoped that users can develop a better understanding of the RRIs from these interpretations and can apply this understanding when studying the many other RRIs that are available for review in this data dissemination tool or the RRIs developed locally to capture the nature of disproportionate minority contact in their own communities.
Developed and maintained by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, with funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

SAN JOSE -- Someone who bought a ticket at a San Jose convenience store came very close to winning a portion of Powerball's record $600 million jackpot, but missed the Powerball number, lottery officials said Saturday night.
That ticket was one of two in California that picked five numbers -- 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52 -- correctly, but missed the Powerball number 11. With such a large jackpot, both of the winners should still pocket a nice sum, California Lottery officials announced.
The winning San Jose ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven store at 2440 Almaden Expressway. It is still unclear exactly how much the owner of that ticket will win.
Another ticket matching those five numbers was purchased in Taft in Kern County, lottery officials said.
No California tickets won the big jackpot.

An Orange Crème Pop Gum? Folks Just Aren't Chewing It
The gum industry is in a sticky spot: Sales are sliding as chewing the stuff has fallen out of favor.
To try to lure customers back, gum makers are exploring new places to sell their products—think sandwich shops instead of just convenience stores and supermarkets—and shrinking package sizes to fit jeans pockets. And they're researching the science behind the stimulating effects of gum-chewing.
The decline in gum sales can be partly blamed on the economy, as well as changing consumer behavior as people switch to less-obtrusive mints to freshen breath. But gum makers have also rolled out a proliferation of new flavors—from Orbit Wildberry Remix to Eclipse Polar Ice to Extra Dessert Delights in Orange Crème Pop—that have cannibalized sales rather than attracted new customers.
"We've made shopping for gum very complicated," said Casey Keller, president of the North America division of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., a subsidiary of Mars Inc. "On average we have 50 different varieties of gum in a convenience store, and that's just Wrigley."
After at least seven years of growth, gum sales began declining in mid-2010. U.S. gum sales in 2011 were down 2.7% to $3.5 billion. Gum makers are paring down their flavor choices and trying to make gum more relevant to consumers, particularly to teens and kids—their biggest customers.
The company said it knows anecdotally that chewing gum offers a "stimulating effect" that aids concentration. This could lead them to market gum as a way to focus on an activity, such as playing sports or videogames.
"What will help kids play more World of Warcraft?" asked Mr. Keller.
Several years ago, Wrigley and The Princeton Review surveyed American and Canadian college students about their study habits and found that of the students who chew gum while studying for exams, 41% do so to combat stress while 23% do so to increase concentration.
Wrigley declined to share what, if any, products are in the works to provide physical or mental benefits to consumers.
The company is also trying to place more gum where customers shop, and recently tried selling gum at some Subway sandwich shops in Chicago. "It exceeded our expectations," Mr. Keller said, saying tests with other retailers are in early stages and appear promising.
In addition to the dizzying assortment of flavors, Wrigley, the world's largest gum company, found that some customers were deterred by the bulky packets of gum, which are hard to fit into pants pockets and small purses.
A few months ago, the company developed tiny packs, containing just six pieces, designed to fit into the small pocket of a pair of jeans and priced at less than $1. "It's gone over well with teens," said Mr. Keller, explaining that gum competes for space with all the other items teens are carrying, such as mobile devices and iPods. "We're competing for share of pocket as well as share of wallet."
With more ways than ever to spend their pocket change, kids are opting to buy other things, like songs from iTunes.
Alexis Kelly, a 15-year-old high school sophomore in Broomfield, Colo., used to chew a new piece of gum every hour—when her middle school teachers caught her they'd make her spit it out—but when she started high school, she dropped down to one piece of gum a day.
"That's when I started noticing my money more. Gum is a lot more expensive than it used to be," said Ms. Kelly, who spends her money on clothes and gas for the car she has shared with her sister since getting her learner's permit.
The average price for a pack of gum last year was $1.58, compared with $1.51 in 2009, according to market research firm SymphonyIRI Group.
Wrigley began trying to reclaim teen customers in 2007 when it developed a new gum brand called 5. Packaged in sleek black packs, with flavor names such as "Vortex" and "Elixir," 5 was a hit, reaching $500 million in sales in just five years.
Wrigley had even embarked on an elaborate marketing campaign involving an alternate-reality game in which more than 600,000 people participated. Despite its success, the brand didn't boost the overall gum category. "It just got teens to choose it over other brands. It didn't attract new usage," Mr. Keller said.
Wrigley also wants to make gum fun for young kids again. Bubble gum sales have deflated over the last six years as parents steered kids away from the sugary stuff. "Every kid remembers blowing bubbles. How do we bring back that fun and make it permissible?" Mr. Keller asked, hinting that a sugar-free bubble gum might be in the works.
Mondelez International Inc. is also trying to convince teens to chew more gum. The company, which changed its name from Kraft Foods Inc. after spinning off its North American grocery business in October, makes Trident, Stride and Chiclets gum.
The company has said that the economic downturn hurt gum sales and that too many price increases made gum too expensive for many teens.
In August, it introduced ID by Stride, aimed at teens. The packs contain graphics commissioned from young artists around the world as well as information that unlocks online videogames. Each piece of gum is imprinted with a different flavor swirl so that no two pieces are identical.
Executives told investors in November that the new brand has done well so far but that it is too soon to declare success. Overall gum sales for Mondelez are still declining.
"To be frank, gum has been disappointing for quite some time and it is taking us longer to change the trajectory than we anticipated," Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld said.

Dear Future King of England:
You don't know me, although to be truthful, at this point in your life you don't really know anyone except maybe your mum. You're only hours old, but you are already causing a serious uproar.
Social media -- you'll learn about that eventually, if we haven't already moved on to something else by the time you are 2 -- has followed your birth literally from conception. Amazingly, this is likely to be the least attention you'll be having. You are, after all, the future king.
Those are rather big booties to fill for a baby who has spent the past 9 months in, as they say, utero. So I'd like to offer some advice to you.
I'm no one special; just a Yank whose tenuous connection to your home country has grown less relevant with each new generation. Like most Americans, I'm a bit fuzzy on royal protocol, so I can't help you there. But I'm a good observer, so what I have to say may come in handy, somewhere down the line, like when you start rolling over on your own or when you start storming the castle, if you get my drift, which you don't, but you will.
First off, you should know that your destiny was sealed the moment your mother and father conceived you. That's a hard one to wrap your head around, crown or no crown. The rest of us, well we get to decide whether we will become fire fighters or doctors or journalists. I'm afraid you've got "king" stamped on your resume and it's not going away.
But that doesn't mean you can't do other things while you're waiting -- and it is going to be a long wait. I'd avoid taking what one might call the Harry route.
Harry is your uncle. He used to be third in line to the throne. Now he's fourth. (I'm sure he won't hold it against you.) While Harry has carved out a nice military career for himself, he's also been photographed naked cavorting with wanton women. Or maybe they were just women who found themselves in the company of royalty and were happy to be there. Either way, not a good way to go. Those odd things you've now found yourself in are called clothes, and it's rather a good idea to keep them on in public.
Your father, second in line for the throne, is a good example. He appears stable with a good head on his shoulder. He also inherited the family trait of early hair loss. I know you probably don't have much hair at the moment and don't see what the big deal is, but trust me. You'll be hoping that particular gene is recessive once you reach your 20s.
As I mentioned before, your birth was eagerly anticipated by millions around the world. Don't let that scare you. Some of those same people were anxious for Kim Kardashian to give birth, too. But there's something you need to know. All of these people aren't excited because you're going to be king some day.
Your great-grandmum -- you'll be meeting her soon; don't forget to bow -- has made the birth of future kings a little "been there, done that." The queue building up behind her is getting embarrassingly long and she shows no signs of stepping down.
No, I think most of us, me included, saw your birth as something beyond ancient heraldry. You are another piece of the legacy, a flesh-and-blood connection to your grandmother, Diana.
Diana is your dad's mum. By all accounts, she was a brilliant mother, putting him and Harry first in life, especially when that life fell apart. You'll learn all about it in time, and try not to hold it against your grandfather. Your kingdom seems to have forgiven him.
Folks like me who never met Diana and only knew the public side of her, felt an unexplainable connection to her, and making her untimely death even more tragic. Without ever talking about it, we sort of decided we were going to watch out for her children; be her representative, at least at heart. We all had front row seats, courtesy the telly, when your dad and mum got married. And now, two years later, here you are.
It's difficult to think of Diana as being a grandmother, although I'm certain she would have been a great one. She probably would have had a fantastic grandmother name, like DeeDee or Mimsy. And she would have loved you as much as your mom and dad do.
I don't know if you believe in angels, being only a few hours old. Heck, I'm 57 and I don't know. But the spirit of your grandmother lives on in the memories of others, and so in that way, you'll be able to feel her presence, too.
You'll make us proud, I know. And just two more things before I close. Don't take yourself too seriously, and don't take any wooden shillings.
Contact Joan Morris at email@example.com; or 1700 Cavallo Road, Antioch, CA 94509.

SAN JOSE -- Sharks forward Marty Havlat will be out for an undetermined amount of time after he underwent bilateral pelvic floor reconstruction earlier this month, San Jose general manager Doug Wilson said Monday.
Havlat, who had eight goals and 18 points in 40 games this season for the Sharks, did not play again after he was hurt early in Game 3 of the second-round series against the Los Angeles Kings. He also suffered an injured groin in the first round against the Vancouver Canucks.
Wilson, who is preparing for the NHL draft in Newark, N.J., on Sunday, said the surgery was performed by Dr. William Myers in Philadelphia.
"It's not an uncommon type of injury for hockey players," Wilson said. "The severity, both sides, time will tell. That was the diagnosis, that was the procedure, and there was not a timeline attached to the end of it."
Havlat's injury makes him ineligible for a compliance buyout, although Wilson said he did not see the team buying out any players' contracts. Havlat, 32, has two years left on his deal.
"We're trying to build on the momentum of how our team played down the stretch, certainly after the trade deadline," Wilson said. "Everybody's important; the key now is to build on that."
Before this year, Havlat, a 12-year NHL veteran, missed only one of 73 playoff games because of injury in his career.
"He was injured, he couldn't play, it's been dealt with," Wilson said. "Where it goes from here will be based on his recovery."
Wilson also said defenseman Justin Braun, who played most of the season with a broken left hand, has had surgery and is recovering.
Other players recovering from injuries are Logan Couture (left ankle), Marc-Edouard Vlasic (hairline fracture, left foot) and Jason Demers (head). Wilson said those players will be fine.
The Sharks have until July 2 to extend qualifying offers to their restricted free agents, a group that includes Demers, TJ Galiardi, James Sheppard and Andrew Desjardins.
The Sharks have several players set to become unrestricted free agents on July 5, including forwards Scott Gomez, Bracken Kearns and Tim Kennedy, defensemen Scott Hannan and Matt Pelech and goalies Thomas Greiss and Alex Stalock.

Interior Approves Cape Wind Offshore Construction and Operations Plan
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) announced on April 19 that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) has approved a construction and operations plan for the Cape Wind project, an energy project located 4.7 miles offshore in Nantucket Sound. The plan from Cape Wind Associates, LLC suggests that construction of the first U.S. offshore wind farm could begin as early as the fall.
The proposed action, including its size and location, remain substantially the same it was when it was analyzed in the Cape Wind Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which was published in January 2009. The Cape Wind energy project calls for 130 3.6-megawatt wind turbine generators, each with a maximum blade height of 440 feet, to be arranged in a grid pattern in Nantucket Sound. As part of its evaluation, BOEMRE conducted an environmental assessment to determine whether any significant impacts were not discussed in the 2009 FEIS and concluded that all impacts had been properly examined. See the DOI press release and the BOEMRE Cape Wind Web page.

'Pro-choice' often means 'no choice'
As the nation marked the 40th anniversary last week of the U.S. Supreme Court's infamous 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion, many women led the March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Friday while bearing signs that read, "I Regret My Abortion."
One study found 62 percent of women who had abortions did so under pressure, including force and even violence. Recent studies show that one of the top causes of death of pregnant women is homicide.

'Game of Thrones' Season 4, Episode 4, 'Oathkeeper': TV Recap
The opening of tonight's "Game of Thrones," episode "Oathkeeper," fulfills the promise made by Danaerys at the end of the last: The abolition of slavery in the city of Meereen. After a reading lesson, Grey Worm leads a nighttime ninja assault through the city's sewers, delivering gifts of knives and swords to slaves stowed away in a dungeon. A revolt ensues. And, just like that, Danaerys claims the city and delivers justice to the masters by crucifying them one-by-one along the city walk. Danaerys presides over her new city to the cheers of the emancipated.
Jon Snow is also good at commanding a crowd. Up at the Wall, Ser Allister frets over Lord Snow's rising popularity. Hoping to be rid of him for good, Allister and Janos Slynt conspire to give Jon what he wants: A trip to Craster's Keep to kill Karl and the remaining mutineers. However, they didn't expect he'd be able to summon such strong support for the undertaking, and they're left to gnaw at their chicken bones, wondering how powerful Ned Stark's bastard actually is.
Jon's instinct proves correct. Beyond the Wall, Karl sits in Craster's chair, chugging wine from the skull of the late Lord Mormont and abusing his wives/daughters. Craster left behind one last son and, as is the custom, the baby is left alone in the woods, a gift to the White Walkers. Bran, Hodor and gang hear the weeping infant, however, and upon investigation, also discover Jon's direwolf locked in a pen. Before they can rescue it, however, their small band is taken hostage by Karl and company.
Down in King's Landing, Jaime and Bronn have a heart-to-heart over the fate of Tyrion, with Bron nappealing to Jaime's brotherly love. After a conversation with the accused, Jaime is even more convinced Tyrion is innocent. Cersei will have none of it, however. She admonishes her twin for his failure to save Joffrey and instructs him to increase Tommen's nighttime security.
Meanwhile, in Littlefinger's ship, Sansa frets as Lord Baelish ogles her lasciviously. Here is a man who wants "everything," but would likely settle for Catalyn Stark's eldest daughter. Littlefinger then admits to orchestrating Joffrey's murder on behalf some "new friends." Cue the ominous cut revealing Margaery Tyrell and the Queen of Thrones strolling in the Kings Landing garden. Lady Olenna had no intention of allowing her granddaughter to marry that "little beast" Joffrey, and realizes while that particular marriage is off, there is a much better candidate in line. So the Tyrell women strategize Margaery's seduction of Tommen and the marginalization of Cersei. Margaery takes a lesson from her grandmother, sneaking into Tommen's room at night, pets his cat Ser Pounce and, makes him swear an oath to keep their nighttime communication a secret from the Queen Regent.
Hoping to reclaim some of his honor – a bit tricky given his actions last week (What? No follow-up on the whole rape thing? Odd.)– Jaime presents Brienne with a new suit of armor and his Valyrian steel sword. Her mission: To find Sansa Stark and keep her safe. Oh, and take Podrick Payne with her. She accepts, names the sword Oathkeeper, and after an emotionally repressed farewell to Jaime, rides off into the Westeros wilderness.
The episode ends with a bit of high fantasy. A White Walker astride a zombified horse carries Craster's youngest son to an immense valley where an iced over lake is fed by a frozen waterfall. It leaves the baby on an icy altar and then a some sort of White Walker medicine man takes the child, touches its cheek, and turns its eyes a frigid cobalt.

SANTA CLARA -- Patrick Willis said he's in the best shape of his career as the 49ers' Pro Bowl linebacker enters his seventh NFL season.
"I really feel mentally and physically, I'm in the best shape that I've been in since I was a rookie," said Willis, a Pro Bowler in each of his first six seasons. "I feel like mentally, I'm in a place that I've never been in before."
The 28-year-old said he's still as fast as he ever was, but he's learning new tricks that may help him as his career progresses.
"I learned this camp that you don't have to move as fast if you're smarter," Willis said. "It almost looks like you're not moving at all but you're making the plays. That's where I'm trying to get to in my career."
Despite the sting of last season's Super Bowl loss, Willis isn't overanxious for this season to start. He wants to make sure the team puts in its work to prepare for another run at a title.
"When you give it everything you've got, which our team did to get as far as we made it. ... Unfortunately we didn't get the win, but we put forth a lot of effort, a lot of energy, a lot of time," Willis said. "So it's one of those things where you just let the season come. It'll be here before you know it."

text: Just in time for blockbuster season, Ad Age brings into crisp relief the latest crisis befalling multiplexes around the country: Evil, evil popcorn. "According to an Agriculture Department report, next year's corn stocks are expected to plunge to a 13-year low and, as a result, corn-futures contracts have soared to an all-time high," notes reporter Claude Brodesser-Akner. "This can be attributed to the demand for ethanol, which will claim 40% of next year's corn crop, munching away at the margins of theaters that rely on concession sales for as much as 45% of their revenue." The author has more stats as well, none more distressing than that citing an 80% markup currently affecting popcorn and beverages concessions. Wait — except for maybe the one that claims 63% of moviegoers over 12 don't mind ads before the films. The whole thing has MPAA president Bob Pisano predicting "mutually assured destruction," with viewers retreating to the comfort of their homes. Defamer's solution: Booze, naturally, and a section of 21-and-over seats to make it work with the law. Yes, they'll have some drunks, but they do already; who else is the market for The Love Guru?

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - With the opening of the Snowmass ski area in December 1967, there was a big push for guests to purchase condominiums with ski-in, ski-out access for "carefree" vacations. This image is from the front of a small fold-out sales brochure for the Willows, a condominium complex with Murphy bed options and hide-away kitchens that could be modified for the individual buyers, all part of the Snowmass-at-Aspen package for the newest resort. These style condominiums started a shift in the ski resort experience from social lodges to privately owned spaces.
Editor's note: This page is a partnership between the Snowmass Sun and the Aspen Historical Society with two primary goals in mind: to improve the knowledge of Snowmass history
in the region and to collect historic photographs of the Snowmass region for the society.

Man Dies in Second Shooting Since March on Southwest Lakeland Street
Was on probation for attempted second-degree murder
Published: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 2:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
LAKELAND | A 21-year-old man was shot to death Thursday afternoon in southwest Lakeland, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Davonte Lewis of Cherry Tree Drive was shot about 2:20 p.m. while at a house at 5634 Cherry Wood Circle, a Sheriff's Office report stated.
Detectives are investigating his death as a homicide.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer said it doesn't appear the afternoon shooting is related to an apparent drive-by shooting that occurred in northwest Lakeland about 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Jazmine Cruz, 17, lives near the neighborhood and said she was a close friend of Lewis. She said she was shocked by the incident.
"I didn't want to believe it," Cruz said.
Cruz said Lewis often hung out near the house where he was shot, which is a few blocks from his home.
She was walking through the cul-de-sac Friday but said the neighborhood no longer felt safe.
"It's getting really bad around here," she said.
In March, a resident in the same neighborhood was shot multiple times by three people.
Detectives said two men knocked on the door of the Cherry Wood Circle residence about 12:30 a.m. on March 31 while a third suspect remained out of view.
According to reports, the resident opened the door and was shot multiple times.
The resident has since been released from Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
It was unknown Friday whether the shootings were related or whether any suspects in the March shootinghad been located.
According to Florida Department of Corrections, Lewis was on probation out of Marion County for attempted second-degree murder and possession of a weapon or ammunition by a felon or delinquent.
Anyone with information can contact Detective Jason McPherson at 863-298-6379.

About the Book
The first volume of a glorious two-volume, four-color graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning novel The Graveyard Book, adapted by P. Craig Russell and illustrated by an extraordinary team of renowned artists.
Inventive, chilling, and filled with wonder, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book reaches new heights in this stunning adaptation. Artists Kevin Nowlan, P. Craig Russell, Tony Harris, Scott Hampton, Galen Showman, Jill Thompson, and Stephen B. Scott lend their own signature styles to create an imaginatively diverse and yet cohesive interpretation of Neil Gaiman's luminous novel.
Volume One contains Chapter One through the Interlude, while Volume Two will include Chapter Six to the end.
It Takes a Graveyard to Raise a Child.
Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead.
There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.
Each chapter in this adaptation by P. Craig Russell is illustrated by a different luminary from the comic book world, showcasing a variety of styles from a breadth of talent. Together, they bring Neil Gaiman's award-winning, nationally bestselling novel The Graveyard Book to new life in this gorgeously illustrated two-volume graphic novel adaptation.
Volume One contains Chapter One through the Interlude, while Volume Two includes Chapter Six to the end.

In films and on television, director and former stuntman Jeff Mosley has received countless punches, fallen down thousands of stairs, scampered underwater wearing more than 100 pounds of equipment and been pinned between colliding cars.
Now, the Concord dad is playing mini super-action hero to the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
"Chasing Rodriguez," the live-action, locally-filmed feature movie he has been promoting, producing and is now releasing, is aimed at the very large target of public education in a struggling district.
"Twenty-five percent of the net proceeds of the DVD sales go the MDUSD," Mosley explains, after the DVD's Sept. 14 launch on Amazon.
It's a tiny drop in a very large bucket, he is quick to suggest, before ramping up his rally call.
"People need to step up," he says, sounding very much like the Jeff Mosley who, in 2009, vowed to fundraise and contribute whatever he raised -- if it wasn't enough to fund his Screen Actors Guild ultra low-budget indie film -- to the district.
More than $4,000 went to MDUSD, but Mosley wasn't done.
Three years and 15 turbocharged days of filming later, he and starring actor Vince-Anthony, a 16-year-old actor from Newark, are pumped.
The 90-minute action film, supported through crowd funding, local business sponsorships, individual donors and featuring locations like the Brenden Theatres and Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, and Scott's Seafood Restaurant and Milner's Jewelers in Walnut Creek, is a reality.
"I've always had this feeling of wanting to try new things," Anthony says.
He smiles, revealing camera-loving dimples, and pivots in his chair with the graceful physicality of the soccer, volleyball, cycling, basketball athlete that he is.
In the movie, this first-time film actor sparkles; underneath, there's depth arising from lessons learned at home.
"If you start something, you put 110 percent into it. If you don't like it, you finish it off. You're part of the team," says Martin, his father.
Although Mosley agrees that Anthony is hardworking and respectful, his composure and his ability to pass the Mosley litmus test -- be able to deliver lines clearly, even with a train running by and while chewing gum -- earned him the most points.
"He was the only actor who asked for a moment to concentrate, before the audition," Mosley recalls.
Getting him to holler and fling his arms skyward, on the other hand, was nearly impossible.
"It took me a while to get through that," Anthony laughs. "Eventually, I think we settled with what we had because it was all that was coming out."
ABC7 News anchor Dan Ashley appears as a TV reporter and offered his home for the first two days of filming.
"It was a terrific experience because of the incredibly dedicated and professional nature of the entire cast and crew," he writes in an email. "I would love to be involved in a sequel as long as I get to wear a cape and have some kind of superpower in the next one!"
If Mosley wasn't already hoping to make a second film, that might be enough to convince him. He is still astounded by the contributions of people in the community.
"I always led off with who I was and my 30 years in film and doing it to benefit the schools," Mosley explains. "Once I got one (donation) in place, they all fell in line."
Even the car, which roars through East Bay streets and parking structures in the film's opening scenes, dropped serendipitously into his lap. Still lacking a vehicle one day before filming, Mosley saw two women approaching a black car parked on the street.
"I walked up and said, 'We're filming a movie tomorrow and need a car. Can we use yours?' They pretty much said 'yes" right away."
To make it easier for schools and other groups to "say yes" to purchasing the DVD, Mosley has set up a CreateSpace option. Qualifying organizations can establish a fundraiser that will allow the $3 per DVD to feed directly to their school, bypassing the MDUSD general fund where profits from regular Amazon sales will be directed.
Hollywood (and now the Bay Area) turns fantasy into reality, Mosley suggests. He plans to build a cadre of actors and hopes to produce one film per year.
He doesn't expect to fix the district's problems, but like Superman's answer to The Sphinx, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object there's only one option: surrender -- and reach for the dream.

I have had the question on my mind for quite some time and have even asked some friends who are every day runners and elite triathletes. I am interested in losing weight but also training for different distances at the same time. I'm hearing mixed reviews on this one. I think more output less input would mean you would lose. However, my friends who train for longer distances and tris say that it's not really possible to lose weight and train at the same time. They say the focus is different and you either run to lose weight or you train and those are two different things.
Can you lose weight and train? If so, how?
"Can you lose weight and train?"
It depends upon whether you're already very fit and lean. If you are, then probably not, however, if you're a heavy runner like me then pretty much any kind of training also translates to weight loss.
I guess we'll need more data about you before we can formulate a good answer to your question.
Fat old man PRs:
We have several runners in our running group that started out heavy and new runners and now run marathons and lost weight. Three of them have lost over 100 pounds since they started running and training for long runs.
Our coach has us heart rate train. Over time it trains your body to use the fuel you have stored aka fat rather than just the carbs that are immediately by eating carbs. However, every week we are reminded that our long runs are not meant for weight loss and we are reminded to fuel properly during these runs.

The problem is that "training" in the sense of preparing at a relatively high level for specific events often means calorie intake in proportion to your training level, resulting in no weight loss. If you decide to cut back on calories, it may be difficult to maintain performance. So is it possible? I would say it can be done, but it's a balancing act, and you would have to design your diet carefully (speaking of diet as what you eat, not in the weight loss sense) to make sure you get all the nutrients you need.
Running at a lower heart rate does indeed burn more fat as a percentage of total calories burned. But if you consume the same number of calories that you burned during your run, you won't lose weight. And keep in mind that the body determines how excess calories are stored. Once the glycogen (carb) stores are filled and protein is used to rebuild muscle, any excess is usually stored as fat tissue.
I think that there is a fine line here... My opinion is that yes, you can definitely loose weight and train. The fine line is keeping up with your body's nutritional requirements to perform (i.e. run). And of course, it will vary depending on a persons metabolic rate. Personally, I have to concienciously make sure that I eat or else I will drop weight like crazy. I also have to make sure that I eat foods that adequately fuel me (give me the juice I need for endurance). If I lean towards a more protien based diet, I'll feel full, I'll loose weight, but I'll have a lot of trouble running 10 miles. The net answer here is that everybody processes foods differently and some experimentation is necessary...
Short answer: I used to work with runners at my running club who wanted to lose weight. Yes, you can lose weight while training for races. If you are over weight you most certainly will lose weight if you eat the right foods while maintaining a training program. I did it. I was 260 pounds and lost 70 pounds while training. In addition I took an hour and 20 minutes off my marathon time. So, modifiying my eating didn't negatively effect my running...it enhanced it.
I've seen people who came into our running club way over weight. They worked hard, ate right and some became Boston Qualifiers.
This thing about calorie intake, training and not losing weight is geared toward people who are already at or close to their ideal body weight. A lot of people think you need to plow down thousands of calories to run. If you are already slim, then you don't need to worry about losing weight. Eat away! Fuel up with the right foods, hydrate consistently and fuel properly during your runs and you will attain your weight lose goals. Lean Proteins are great for aiding in weight lose in a healthy way...you need them. However, as a runner you'll need carbs to fuel your workouts. Don't be afraid to eat.....just eat the right foods. As you lose weight you will naturally become faster and it will become easier to run. Your energy levels will increase naturally as well.
I have 35 pounds to lose and I am having a very hard time at it. I am seeing two doctors and running all kinds of hormone tests, etc. I am convinced that I need to see a nutritionist on a regular basis to adjust my diet for my running schedule in order to lose weight and train well. I am training for a 5k this month and a half next month. The doctors are telling me to eat 1200 calories a day and I run 20 to 30 miles a week, six days a week. That is totally insane!!! I'm going to find a sports nutrionist and try to find a healthy diet. I have lost about 70 pounds through running and using MyFitnessPal to log my foods. I started using it to control calories and now I try to make certain I balance my protein, fat, carbs and fiber. You just have to experiment to see what works for you.
Eat 1200 calories per day and run 20 to 30 miles per week? Yeah, I agree, "totally insane" (and in my humble opinion, not at all healthy).

I struggled with this same question since the spring. I was going great with my running and weight loss (started running 3-4 days a week, completed several 5ks and 10ks while doing Weight Watchers). I stopped losing weight when I started training for my first half marathon (this weekend!!). I realized that training = need more fuel and less discipline with eating b/c its hard to concentrate on so many things at once. My recommendation: Try not to worry about losing weight if you are also training - while its frustrating to not lose weight when you're logging so many miles, focus on one thing at a time - don't go crazy with your eating, continue to be mindful and monitor yourself, but perhaps make running the priority. Good luck!
Yes you can if done correctly! Change your eating habits to good ones. Stay discipline write down everything you eat and everything you do for training. It's not easy but can be done!
I started losing weight 3 months into running. I was losing 1-2 pounds a week. because I stopped eating garbage and started eating healthy and drank a lot of water
Hi there,
I am trying to lose weight as well (15 pounds) and train for a half marathon. I thought that if I shed those pounds, running would be easier. As it turns out, dieting caused me to have very low energy. I didnt have enough fuel to get me through those longs runs I needed to do to train. I was consuming about 1100 calories a day and trying to run 5 miles and my body was NOT HAVING IT! I have had to make the decision to either train or diet. I decided to keep training and just eat clean, low carb, low sugar foods and drink tons of water. I actually gained a few pounds in the beginning (hopefully muscle weight) and then slowly lost weight. It wasnt the quick weight loss I was looking for but J think it's a nice healthy balance.

David L Moore Stese Route Big Arm, MT 59910 $ 4-33 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 11 NUMBER 10 MOON OF THE HALF SUMMER-HALF AUTUMN OCTOBER 1, 1982 Powerlines, powerboats, and pristine air How does the Tribes feel about powerlines on the Reservation and powerboats on the river? Why is a local lumber mill in trouble over its smokestacks? These were among the topics discussed by the Tribal Council last month. The answers are: We do not favor BPA's Jocko Corridor plan; we might allow jetboats on the Flathead (otherwise known as the Pend cTOreille River); and the local mill isn't in trouble with the Tribes, but with the state. The powerline issue was raised anew by a Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) announcement that two Reservation routes are still "viable options" for transmission lines carrying power from eastern Montana (Colstrip) to Spokane. The Tribes are against the Jocko route because it involves the Tribal primitive area. Opposition to the Hot Springs route involves interpretation of a 1950's lease agreement between the Tribes and the Bonneville Power Administratioa A meeting about the issue was called in Arlee on September 29 (coverage of which will have to wait until our October 15 issue). Don't forget: The year's last quarterly meeting is today (Oct 1) in Pablo. It begins at 9 am. in the Council Chambers in the Tribal Annex in Pablo. The 'jetboats on the Flathead (Pend d'Oreille)' proposition came September 17 when Bob and Judy Cameron met with the Tribal Council to toss around a few ideas. The Camerons, who hail from the Bitterroot area, are interested in conducting powerboat trips on the Flathead (Pend cfOreille) next summer. The trip package options include overnight stays in tepees along the river and bus tours of the Reservation following the water jaunt Still very much in the talking stage, the plan certainly would involve money paid to the Tribes for permission to use the Tribal resource, plus some summer employment for Tribal members. Herschel Mays, the Tribes' Wildlands Recreation director, is working on the details for presentation to the public and the Council. Finally Oliver Dupuis met with the Council to ask why a Poison lumber mill is in trouble over its emissions. He said Reservation industries had been assured that reclassification to Class I air wouldn't affect them A year after that (Continued on page 4) INSIDE: Last call for SKC classes........................Page 5 Harvey & Matilda have a crisis..................Page 6 Indian week on the Flathead...................Page 14 October calendar.............................Page 18 Council meeting minutes......................Page 21

Manatee Sheriff: Man arrested for assault with firearm
Published: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - A 28-year-old man is accused of firing an AK47-style assault rifle at his girlfriend's ex-husband.
Bryan William Kelsey, 28, faces charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and shooting into a vehicle. He remained in the Manatee County jail today, denied bail on the assault charge.
Shortly after 5:30 a.m. today, a 57-year-old man went to his ex-wife's home in the 15000 block of Blue Fish Circle in Bradenton and knocked on the door.
Kelsey reportedly opened the door and fired the weapon as the ex-husband retreated in his car. A projectile struck the road, causing chunks of roadway to damage the car.
The ex-husband, who was not injured, notified deputies.

Downey suggested the stars of "The Avengers" bow as they headed onstage to make Oscar presentations. Or perhaps curtsy.
When a show worker asked Jackson to stand still so he could be wired with a microphone, the actor faced a backstage wall and pretended he was being frisked by police.
To pass the time, the superheroes watched Melissa McCarthy and Paul Rudd from a backstage monitor.
Suddenly Ruffalo asked, "Did we miss our cue?"
"You want to go out there with them?" asked Jackson.
After presenting two awards, the actors returned backstage, where Downey quipped, "Avengers disassemble."

Bonds of $10 million each have been set for brothers arrested in a New Year's Eve robbery-shooting that left a father and his two children dead in northeast Ohio.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports a visiting judge set the bonds Saturday.
The brothers, 22-year-old Michael Hendon and 30-year-old Eric Hendon, both of Akron, were each charged with three counts of aggravated murder.
Their arrests came Friday, hours after 42-year-old John Kohler died at an Akron hospital. Authorities said his children — 18-year-old Ashley Carpenter and 14-year-old David Kohler-Carpenter — died in the shooting. John Kohler's girlfriend, 38-year-old Ronda Blankenship, also was shot. The newspaper reported she was recovering at an area hospital.
The shootings happened at John Kohler's home, where the teens were visiting for New Year's Eve.

Here's a riddle, what's been illegal to grow for decades until Amendment 64 made it legal in Colorado? It has tens of thousands of uses, but getting high isn't one of them. The answer: hemp.
Now for the first time since World War II a crop of industrial hemp is growing in the far Southeastern corner of Colorado.
Ryan Loflin planted his name in history when he first transplanted a small patch of hemp on the farm he grew up on outside Springfield.
"I always thought I'd be the pioneer of leaving farming," Loflin said.
On the same land his grandfather and father have grown corn, wheat and alfalfa hay, Loflin is coming back home because he sees hemp as the future of Colorado farming.
"This is the future because it's got so many uses. This crop will be used in so many different industries that it's not going to be limited to either food or fuel," Loflin said.
Analysts estimate already the market in the United States for hemp products that include food, beauty supplies and clothing is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, but all of the hemp is imported, mostly from Canada, China and Central America.
"You can make anything but glass out of hemp," Loflin said.
Grown for generations in the United States, hemps' fortunes went down in the 1930's as it was lumped in with its close cousin marijuana.
During World War II it enjoyed a brief revival as the federal government released a propaganda film titled "Hemp for Victory," encouraging farmers to grow the plant to help supply rope for the Navy, and parachutes for the Army.
In 1970 the U.S. Congress designated hemp, along with marijuana, as a "Schedule 1" drug under the Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal to grow without a license from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
But advocates and research shows industrial hemp doesn't have enough THC, the psychoactive ingredients to make a smoker "high."
"Marijuana has anywhere from 15-25% and this has 0.3% so there is no psychoactive benefits at all," Loflin said.
Loflin and a partner are planning on growing around 70 acres this summer. Different strains from Asia and Europe are being tested to see which will thrive in this climate. Without an industrial infrastructure in place to process the hemp into thousands of different products, the hemp grown on the Loflin farm will be harvested for seed.
Just like his family has done since the 1930's, Loflin hopes what's grown on this land will provide for his own family.
"I hope to leave them a hempire, basically," Loflin said.

Some of the more popular content management systems out there are wordpress, joomla, and drupal, and there are always more and more being created, especially with the popularity of programming languages such as ruby on rails. When deciding what the best method for creating your business web presence, some things you will want to factor in are, in no particular order, does your hosting plan offer databases access or do you have to pay more for that? is the method im using going to need to be updated? will I be able to have the design I want? How easy is it for me to be able to add content? How much control do I have over the look of all pages?
With all the major opensource CMS's you will need hosting with at least 1 database, but more if your going to want ecommerce or other database driven applications.
All of the Major opensource CMS's will need to have the application updated, themes updated, widgets updated and monitored. It requires a lot of understanding about content management systems, how to install them, how to trouble shoot them, etc.. This can be extremely time consuming especially if you have to learn it, but even after you have learned the basics that only means you now know how to really break it.
Creating original design using any of the major opensource CMS's is extremely difficult because of the manor in which it stores and retrieves its information, for instance to build the home page it has to go to 10 different folders and pull information from each and put it all together on the page, this causes a lot of latency issues, resulting in slower load times and more customers clicking away.
Its not impossible to design in any of them, you just have to have a complete and thorough understand of php and databases and that can cost a lot of money just to implement a design. Seems the money saved by using custom content management system design could be spent in better places like SEO, link building and some other very important ways to make sure potential customers can find you.
As you can see there are a lot of negatives involved with deciding to take your business online with opensource CMS's like wordpress, joomla, drupal etc...
I offer a better alternative, by creating websites using xhtml, and php, it makes the website much faster and more efficient, making for a better user experience and that will usually turn into return on investment (roi). I develop custom content management systems that incorporate blogs, ecommerce, scheduling calendars, index systems(catalogs), customer feedback and more, for about the price it would cost you for the design of a wordpress custom theme. But I offer professional search engine optimization before during and after the website has been launched, this is a very important part of owning a website. What good is a have a great design if no one can find you?

What comes to mind when you see the word juggle? For some, a clown throwing three balls in the air is what they'll see, but for others, for most college students, you picture yourself juggling life. As college students, no matter who you are, you're juggling something. Whether it's a relationship, and school, or it's a full time job and the hardest class you've ever had. We don't all have the same struggles, but it's there for everyone.
I'm a full time student, and a full time military wife. Just like a real juggler, sometimes we feel like we've got it all under control, but then something happens, and everything seems to just fall to the ground. I'm supposed to be starting my junior year this fall, everything was going as planned until my husband got new orders. We knew that it would be happening soon, we just didn't know when. The time is now, and we're moving to a new state, with new people and new schools. I've never been to California, nor do I know anyone that lives where we're going. As a full time student, I'm a nervous wreck because I'm not going to be able to go to school in the fall, and I don't know where I'm going to go in the spring.
As a military wife, I'm confident and calm because I know it's what we have to do, and there's nothing we can do to change it. I never imagined when I went off to college that I'd be married before I graduated, but then life happens and you have to decide if you're willing to juggle for the things that are important to you. I know that there are other students out there that have more struggles than me, or maybe even the same struggles, which is why I'm here to say that you're not alone.
Some people think when you go off to college it's all about the parties, but for most of us, that's not the case at all. College is where you discover how strong you really are, it's where you get to choose the path you walk down. Just because you juggle, and just because you feel stressed, you're not losing. All of this just leads us to where we're going in life. We all have juggling in common, it just looks different on everyone.
