News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The gloves are coming off. That's the word from the Republican challenger for Richmond County sheriff.
As News 12's Chris Thomas reports, the announcement comes as the mayor pro tem throws his support behind the Democratic candidate, Richard Roundtree.
Freddie Sanders says the Roundtree camp is misleading the public about his platform. And now he is issuing fighting words about suggestions he calls a flat-out lie.
Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles has thrown his support behind Roundtree for sheriff of Richmond County:
"I think without a doubt, that Richard is the right choice for sheriff," he said. "... I'm not saying that's an endorsement, but he's got my support.
"You're going to be voting for Richard Roundtree?" Thomas asked.
"Yes. I will," Bowles replied.
Here's what opponent Sanders has to say about that: "Then as far as I'm concerned, the gloves are off, and I'm ready."
Sanders says Roundtree surrogates are spreading bad information about his campaign.
"That I'm for locking up the youth ... that's just the biggest lie that has ever been told on the face of this earth," Sanders said.
Roundtree is pushing rehabilitation and outreach programs for young people.
"We should be able to try to save as many people as we possibly can -- not just kids, but even adults who have strayed down the wrong path. We've got to live and work together regardless of how things come out," Roundtree said.
"There is special program, Chris, that I support that's been around for a while called church," Sanders said.
Sanders says law enforcement can't take the place of the family.
"So if they want to get with me and debate me about all these issues, I want them out front to come on and let's do that," Sanders said.
In the end, Roundtree says he's thankful for the mayor pro tem's support.
"Of course we are appreciative of anybody who is going to vote for us ... that's one more vote that we have," he said.
Roundtree says the community is coming together.
"There has been a lot of divisiveness, and I think now the healing process is beginning and we are looking forward to a bright year once we win this election in November," he said.
Sanders says he is ready to debate any day. Roundtree says the Sanders camp has not officially reached out to him to debate and that he is focused on talking with voters.

As a holistic veterinarian, I feel it is incredibly important to take the whole
animal into consideration when it comes to nutrition. And, whenever practical, my
preference is to provide nutrients, minerals and vitamins in their natural forms.
In this post, I'd like to talk to you specifically about vitamin E, to review both the strengths and weaknesses
of natural and synthetic forms.
Vitamin E is an incredibly complex and important nutrient that, among other things,
functions as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are naturally occurring nutrients that
promote health by slowing the destructive aging process of cells (a breakdown called
"peroxidation"). In peroxidation, damaged molecules known as free radicals steal
pieces from other cells, like fat, protein or DNA. The damage can spread, damaging
and killing entire groups of cells. While peroxidation can be useful to destroy
old cells or germs and parasites, when left unchecked, free radicals produced by
peroxidation also damages healthy cells. Antioxidants can help to stem the tide
of peroxidation, thus stabilizing free radicals.
Antioxidants like vitamin E are crucial to the health of companion animals of any age.
They can improve the quality of the immune response and the effectiveness
of vaccines in young pets, and help maintain a vital immune system in seniors. More...
Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is the most common lower urinary tract disorder
diagnosed in cats. Symptoms can include painful urination, urination outside the
litter box and blood in the urine. Stress is a significant factor in the incidence
of FIC. Veterinary researchers have determined that cats with highly sensitized
nervous and endocrine systems are more prone to FIC. Research indicates that felines
suffering from FIC may experience high levels of stress without exhibiting any noticeable
symptoms. Fortunately, there are specific alterations to your home and changes you
can make in your cat's daily routine that can help to prevent mental and physical
stress. More...
The old adage that "good things come in small packages" couldn't be truer with
regards to the lively, lovable Dachshund, affectionately referred to collectively
as "doxies". Although it's hard to imagine anyone abandoning one of these clever little canines, sadly it happens all too often. Fortunately, the Dachshund
Rescue South Florida is committed to rescuing Dachshunds, giving them a chance to
live better lives. That's why we are so pleased to report that The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet
Foundation has granted a financial award to this worthy organization to help them
cover the costs of much-needed veterinary services.
Dachshund Rescue views any successful animal rescue as one with the "patience
and understanding" to oversee all of the steps of adoption, in order to give dogs
a "second chance at a wonderful life". And they have done more than just give Dachshunds
a fighting chance; in fact, in their first two years of operation, they have saved
the lives of over 200 doxies! More...

The glory of sport comes from dedication, determination and desire. Achieving success and personal glory in athletics has less to do with wins and losses than it does with learning how to prepare yourself so that at the end of the day, whether on the track or in the office, you know that there was nothing more you could have done to reach your ultimate goal." ---Jackie Joyner-Kersee"Each warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on the important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute. In every contest, there comes a moment that separates winning from losing. The true warrior understands and seizes that moment by giving an effort so intense and so intuitive that it could only be called one from the heart." -Pat Riley If you want to take your mission in life to the next level and if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and i guarantee you that the champion within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.

NC Education Board approves tougher standards
Published: Friday, October 4, 2013 at 8:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 4, 2013 at 8:39 p.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Board of Education has approved tough scoring requirements for standardized tests for students.
The board unanimously approved standards Thursday that will likely mean failure rates of more than 50 percent in most of the reading, math and science tests that students took last spring. The News & Observer of Raleigh (http://bit.ly/1bwfuo7 ) reported.
The board considered lowering the bar so more students would pass.
Delaying the tougher scoring would mean some students would be identified as proficient in a topic when they aren't, said Tammy Howard, director of accountability services at the Department of Public Instruction. That could mean students missing the help they need to improve, she said.
North Carolina gives end of the year tests in English and math to elementary and middle school students beginning in third grade. Science tests are given to fifth and eighth graders, and biology, math and English tests are taken in high school.
The high school English test and the eighth-grade science test are the only tests where more than half of the students passed earlier this year.
Board member John Tate endorsed the tougher requirements, saying schools need to prepare students for the demands of the job market.
"This is the price that is paid to lift those standards and the level of rigor that exists," Tate said.

Election Drama in Pennsylvania, Georgia House Primaries
The drama in Tuesday night's House primaries is in Georgia – where Republicans will fight for nominations in four districts – and Pennsylvania, where Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law is seeking to win back a seat she lost in 1994 after casting the deciding vote for Bill Clinton's budget.
In Georgia, former Rep. Bob Barr's attempt at a political comeback highlights a slate of four multi-candidate primaries. Mr. Barr returns to the GOP ballot after leaving the party to run for president as a Libertarian in 2008.
As if the Clinton family hasn't been getting enough attention in other political realms, a House Democratic primary in the Pennsylvania area is headlining Ms. Clinton's mother-in-law, who was a also a key figure in the presidency of Bill Clinton.
Marjorie Margolies, mother of Chelsea's husband Mark Mezvinksy, is running in a four-way primary for an open House seat in the Philadelphia area. The district leans so heavily Democratic that the primary winner is almost assured victory in the fall.
Ms. Margolies has been viewed as the favorite in the primary because of her high profile and strong fundraising – both boosted by personal appearances on her behalf by Bill and Hillary Clinton. But she is no shoo-in because of the splintered primary field.
Also running are Brendan Boyle, a state representative with strong support in the district's Philadelphia quarters, and state Sen. Daylin Leach, a liberal who featured his daughter in a campaign ad deriding endorsements by the Clintons as a paean to the past. Another wildcard in the race is Valerie Arkoosh, a physician and first-time candidate who has led in fundraising and is flooding the airwaves.

Elsewhere in Pennsylvania, GOP Rep. Bill Shuster is facing a primary challenge from Art Halvorson, a commercial real estate developer and Coast Guard veteran, who is running with the support of the conservative Madison Project. Mr. Shuster, son of longtime Rep. Bud Shuster, has been considered a ripe target for an antiestablishment challenge because he is considered the scion of a political dynasty that has made its name delivering earmarks and federal funding for local infrastructure projects.
But Mr. Halvorson has been buried in Mr. Shuster's torrent of campaign fundraising and spending, and the Altoona-area district is not the hotbed of tea party sympathies it once was, said G. Terry Madonna, director of the Keystone Poll at Franklin & Marshall College.
"Shuster works hard, has lots of money and connections, he doesn't take elections for granted and he delivers a lot," said Mr. Madonna. "We're not in a tea party mood like we were in 2010 in this state.
Former Rep. Bob Barr is trying to make a political comeback after defecting from the GOP to run for president as a Libertarian in 2008.
Mr. Barr faces five opponents in a district across northwest Georgia. The best-funded is state rep. Ed Lindsey. Former state Sen. Barry Loudermilk is backed by RedState's Erick Erickson, who has an Atlanta radio show and is based in Macon.
The GOP primary winner will replace Rep. Phil Gingrey. The Democrats didn't nominate a candidate for the general election. Like Georgia's Senate race, the state's crowded House primaries are likely to go to run-off elections in July – the prescription if no candidate reaches 50% of Tuesday's vote.
Mr. Barr – who is best known for leading the House impeachment hearings against Bill Clinton – is having to answer for his deviations from Republican orthodoxy. After leaving Congress in 2003, when his district was redrawn, Mr. Barr criticized the Patriot Act and the Bush administration's policies on wiretapping and drug prosecutions.
Elsewhere, there are five Republicans seeking to challenge Rep. John Barrow (D., Ga.), who is perpetually one of the most endangered House Democrats.
Mitt Romney carried Mr. Barrow's district, which covers a swath of southeast Georgia, with 55% of the vote, but Mr. Barrow easily won re-election against a weak challenger. Republicans have aimed to make Mr. Barrow a target this cycle, and have a field that includes company owner Richard Allen,state Rep. Delvis Dutton and Eugene Yu, a self-funded entrepreneur.
There are seven Republicans each in districts to replace Reps. Jack Kingston and Paul Broun. Neither race is likely to be competitive in November.

In the new millennium, the biopharmaceutical industry has undergone a significant transformation in all areas of business. Blockbuster drugs, the foundation of the biologics revolution, are becoming increasingly rare. Many companies have experienced considerable setbacks within their clinical-trial programs. As a result, biopharmaceutical executives are faced with the ever-present dilemma of optimizing investment opportunities focused on advancing as many clinical prospects as practically and financially feasible. Focusing on medicines for broad patient populations no longer guarantees business success. Therefore, companies are identifying techniques and approaches that give an edge to the potential approval of a clinical candidate. One such approach is the use of translational sciences, particularly biomarker research. One outcome of using this novel approach is the development of more personalized, targeted medicines serving smaller patient populations.
The integration of biomarker data into the development process potentially promises less risky clinical-
MedImmune's Frederick Manufacturing Center (FMC), located in Frederick, Maryland, offers one example of how a
The first manufacturing building (B636) at FMC was constructed in the mid-1990s and commissioned to manufacture Synagis (palivizumab), a monoclonal antibody. Building 636 has 2 × 2.5k L bioreactors and associated proportional downstream purification capacity. The FMC was expanded in 2006 with the initiation of construction for B633, a large-scale (4 × 15k L bioreactors) mammalian cell culture-based commercial production facility initially designated for the manufacture of a mix of products in the pipeline at the time. As part of the design, MedImmune introduced a degree of flexibility to the facility, enabling it to potentially accommodate a range of product titers.
But one year after groundbreaking, the shape and magnitude of MedImmune's pipeline changed significantly. That same year, AstraZeneca acquired MedImmune and integrated the capabilities of Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT), which AstraZeneca had acquired in 2006, into MedImmune's existing R&D infrastructure. Seemingly overnight, MedImmune's investigational pipeline jumped from approximately 40 candidates to more than 120 candidates, resulting in a fundamental shift for FMC from a single commercial product facility to a clinical and commercial multiproduct facility.
Addressing this situation required the company to overcome three key challenges as described below.

Hi all,
I have finished writing the latest manual. Now I need to provide different character styles to the various types of text (e.g. user input, menu paths, keyboard shortcuts, etc.).
For this, I am going to use LibreOffice with an Addon called AltSearch.
This addon is capable of running find-and-replace operations with extended RegEx (for example, it can search within frames, footnotes, etc.).
I need RegEx patterns to search for the following:
1. Menu paths
These are typically enclosed by two words: "the" on the left and "menu" on the right. Check for other patterns in the User Manual v 1800 (pdf).
2. Keyboard shortcuts
These involve terms such as CTRL, SHFT, ALT, UpArrow, DownArrow, LeftArrow, RightArrow, ENTER, ESC, the + sign and a letter. This could be a single key (e.g. ESC or ENTER), or a combination (e.g. "CTRL+SHFT+D", "CTRL+LeftArrow").
Those who are good in composing RegEx patterns may please come forward and post the "find" patterns.
I also need help from those of you who have experience in OpenOffice/LibreOffice in general and AltSearch in particular.
Please drop a line here, and I will post further topics of discussion.
Thanks in advance!

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - By the end of the day today, Ethan Moore's going to be whipped but in an exhilarated, "did we just pull that off?" kind of way.
Moore's the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church. That church will hold three Christmas Eve services today, one each at its home church in Edwards, as well as the interfaith chapels in Vail and Beaver Creek. When Moore gets home about 10 p.m. tonight, he'll be ready for a long winter's nap. But you won't hear a peep of complaint.
"I never get tired of it," Moore said of his Christmas Eve routine. "For me, it's a real marker of my year."
Christmas, along with Easter, are the two big days on the Christian calendar, with Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus. Over the centuries, Christmas has also evolved into a celebration of growing light in the world, both literally and figuratively. Every year, Christians gather, sing familiar songs and hear the gospels' account of the birth of their savior. But pastors usually have sermons prepared, in which they try to tie together the message of Christ's birth with the world we live in.
That's why "pushing back the darkness" will be the theme of Father Brooks Keith's Christmas sermons to his fellow Episcopalians.
In the wake of the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., "all of us are (pushing back darkness) right now," Keith said. "We have to look reality square in the eye."
The way Christians respond, Keith said, is to build community, whether that's filling food baskets or ringing bells or simply gathering together to celebrate.
The messages Keith and other ministers deliver today will reach thousands. All Christian churches celebrate Christmas, of course, but the interfaith chapels in Vail, Beaver Creek and Edwards all will host several services each. The Episcopalians may have the most services this year among the Protestants - between Sunday, today and Tuesday, there will be eight services.
All those services require some tight scheduling, for the chapels and the ministers.
Tim Wilbanks, pastor of the Presbyterian congregation that worships at the chapels, said he'll hold a service at 3 p.m. at Beaver Creek and at 5:30 p.m. at Vail. The services will be about an hour each, and then there will be a break to empty and refill the chapels.
Wilbanks said that leads to a "great interchange" between worshippers coming in and going out.
"It's all the same focus," Wilbanks said. "Right after our service, you have another church full of people, for the same reason."
Even with the crush of people, Wilbanks said people are still at ease during the services.
"You don't want anything to feel rushed," he said.
Wilbanks said he sees many of the same visiting families year after year, along with a good number of newcomers.
Christmas Eve services have traditionally used candles toward the end, while those attending sing "Silent Night." The scene is a little different at the chapels. Live candles simply present too much risk.
These days, Wilbanks asks people to use the light of their cellphones to illuminate the chapel - Wilbanks even has an app on his phone that's a single, lit candle.
But at Gracious Savior Lutheran Church in Edwards, the candles will still be lit the old-fashioned way - person-to-person, with grown-ups showing their kids how it's done. Gracious Savior will also have a live donkey - "Dumpling" - in its Christmas pageant at 7 p.m.
While Gracious Savior's congregation is made up mostly of local residents, Pastor Jason Haynes said that church still sees a significant number of visitors - people in the valley just for the holiday season.
That's an indication of how important this holiday is to so many.
"I love seeing three or four generations of families," Keith said. "These people will schedule their vacations around few things, and this is one of them."
It's also an indication that there's more to a Vail Valley visit than just fun, Keith said.
"Our congregations support a three-dimensional resort," he said. "We're feeding souls here - no restaurant can touch that."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A News 12 investigation into license plates you see on the road every day could lead to a change in state law.
This summer, we exposed how the Georgia Department of Revenue is lining its pockets by short-changing charities. Because of what we uncovered, House Bill 180 is making its way through the General Assembly, and the lawmakers behind it promise it will wind up on the governor's desk.
How did we get here?
Joanna McAfee was only 6 years old when she passed away.
"Joanna was a special little girl, and she was put here on this Earth for a really short time to serve a specific purpose," said her father, Jeff McAfee.
We first introduced you to McAfee and his family in August at a very difficult time. At the end of that month, Joanna would be gone longer than the short time she was here.
He was also closing the office for the foundation he started in Joanna's name to help kids like her. He's now running the nonprofit from his house.
A News 12 investigation then uncovered another heart-breaking reality: A state law was taking money away from Joanna's foundation and other nonprofits like it.
Here's how. The law passed in May 2010 says that of the $35 fee for specialty plates, $25 is to be deposited into the state's general fund and $10 is to be dedicated to the sponsoring agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation. And it's the same for renewals: $35 a year with only $10 going to the nonprofit.
For specialty plates, the $25 fee, or manufacturing fee, used to be a one-time fee. With the new law, even though the plate has already been issued, the driver has to continue to pay it.
Simply put, the state is profiting from nonprofits.
"Just one obstacle after another, and Joanna never once complained about what she was going through," McAfee said.
So Joanna's father never complained about the law, but he really doesn't have to.
What's happening now?
News 12 asked the Department of Revenue to send us information on specialty plate renewals and new issues since the 2010 law went into effect. We crunched the numbers and noticed a 40 percent decline across the board.
Our research became a voice for McAfee and other nonprofits.
"I think it's good, the work that you all have put into it bringing these facts to me," said Rep. Willie Talton, R-Warner Robins.
Rep. Talton looked at our numbers and went on the record, promising to right what he believes is a wrong.
"I will put everything I have behind it to introduce legislation to try to get these tags exempt, these nonprofit organizations exempt," he said.
And now, Talton is keeping his promise to News 12 and to the state's nonprofits that benefit from specialty plates. He joined forces with four other lawmakers to make House Bill 180 a reality.
Right now, it's ready and waiting for lawmakers to act on it.
Instead of the state getting $25 from each plate and the charity only getting $10, the new law will give the state $10 and the charity $25.
Lawmakers aren't the only ones paying attention to what we exposed. Other Georgia television stations, like WMAZ in Macon, are following House Bill 180's progress, too.
But the man who still isn't complaining is now speaking up.
McAfee says he learned a lot from his angel before she went to heaven.
"When you lose a child, one of the greatest fears is that they will be forgotten," he said.
So he will keep working to make sure she's remembered by helping to find a cure for the devastating disease that took her. He's also helping other nonprofits cure a problem with a state law.
McAfee is also proud to report some new grants. Just in the last couple of months, the Joanna McAfee Foundation has given an additional $60,000 to fund cancer research, $25,000 going to Yale University and $35,000 to the National Cancer Institute.
He says he hopes to be able to give even more -- if and when the law changes.
As for when that will happen -- well, maybe soon.
What will happen next?
House Bill 180 was introduced this month and has been through first and second readings. Right now, members of the Motor Vehicles Committee are looking it over.
Late Thursday afternoon, we learned it could make it out of committee as soon as this coming Monday.
And something else to note about House Bill 180: If it passes, it won't just benefit nonprofits -- it will benefit all specialty plates.
News 12's investigation also showed that all funds generated by specialty plates for colleges and universities go to the state treasury. The schools don't get a dime.
This bill changes that. All Georgia schools with a tag would be able to use that extra money for need-based academic scholarships.
News 12 will keep following this for you and pass on any updates.

DOE and DOI Propose Solar Energy Zones in Six Western States
The Amargosa Farm Road concentrating solar project in Nevada, approved in November, is typical of the large-scale energy projects that could flourish in the new solar energy zones in six Western states.
DOE and the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) announced a comprehensive environmental analysis that identifies proposed "solar energy zones" on public lands in six Western states. Lands that are in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah that are most suitable for environmentally sound, utility-scale solar energy production are the focus of the joint announcement on December 16. A 90-day period for public comment on a detailed study, known as the draft Solar Energy Development Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), began December 17 with the publication of a notice of availability.
Under the study's preferred alternative, DOI's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) would establish a new Solar Energy Program that would standardize and streamline the authorization process and would establish mandatory design features for solar energy development on BLM lands. The BLM would establish "solar energy zones" within the lands available for solar development right-of-way applications. These have been identified as most appropriate for development, containing the highest solar energy potential and fewest environmental and resource conflicts. The solar energy zones would provide directed, landscape-scale planning for future solar projects and would allow for a more efficient permitting and siting process. The initiative stems from a June 2009 DOI announcement that tracts of BLM land in the six Western states, known as solar energy study areas, would be fully evaluated for their environmental and resource suitability for large-scale solar energy production.
Much of the BLM-managed 120 million acres of public land in the six states would be excluded from solar energy production, leaving about 22 million acres available for right-of-way applications under the preferred alternative. That includes some 677,400 acres identified as proposed solar energy zones. However, reasonably foreseeable solar energy development is anticipated on only about 214,000 acres of the suitable and appropriate BLM lands. Even as it completes the PEIS, the BLM continues to process existing solar energy applications. The BLM's current solar energy caseload includes 104 active solar applications covering 1 million acres that developers estimate could generate 60,000 megawatts of electricity.
The preferred method of commenting on the draft Solar PEIS is by written submissions using the online form available on the PEIS Web site, where the draft PEIS document is posted. See the DOE press release and the maps of the PEIS areas.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is planning four campaigns stops before Tuesday's primary, hoping to boost his Michigan chances to better than third place.
An NBC News/Marist Poll released Wednesday showed 37 percent of 1,147 likely Michigan GOP primary voters backed Mitt Romney, 35 percent backed Rick Santorum and 13 percent favored Paul. Eight percent supported Newt Gingrich and 4 percent were undecided.
The telephone poll was conducted Sunday-Monday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
Paul plans a "Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors" event Saturday at Central Michigan University and speaks Sunday to small business owners in Hudsonville.
On Monday, the Texas congressman plans an afternoon rally with Michigan State University students in East Lansing and an evening rally with doctors in Dearborn.

SANTA CRUZ -- FBI agents said Thursday that a 35-year-old San Francisco Bay Area man accused of three animal-rights motivated bombings in 2003 may have ties to Santa Cruz.
Daniel Andreas San Diego, originally from Berkeley, has been spotted in Santa Cruz as well as Novato and San Rafael, said FBI spokesman Peter Lee. San Diego is suspected of bombing Chiron Corp., an Emeryville biotechnology firm, and twice bombing Shaklee Corp., a Pleasanton nutrition and cosmetics company, authorities said.
The explosions -- which included packs of nails -- caused minor damage and no injuries.
San Diego, who is on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list, has ties to animal rights extremist groups, according to the FBI. His alleged actions have been an example to others, authorities have said -- including a 2009 firebombing at a UC Santa Cruz scientist's home and a separate bombing of a UCSC scientist's car.
"The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading directly to the arrest and prosecution of San Diego," Lee said. "The reward can be paid confidentially."
San Diego has carried a handgun in the past and is considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said.
"We strongly encourage the public to submit tips to law enforcement if they believe they have information about fugitive San Diego's whereabouts. No tip is too small," Lee said. "San Diego has bomb-making knowledge, which makes him a serious threat to any community. Not only can he fine-tune this ability, but he may also be able to impart this dangerous knowledge onto others."
He is a white man described in 2003 as 6 feet tall and 160 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes, as well as a round tattoo in the center of his chest with burning hillsides and the words "It only takes a spark."
He also has tattoos that include burning and collapsed buildings, but FBI agents said they may have been altered with new tattoos.
San Diego has worked for cash as a computer network specialist and has avoided using banks, checks and credit cards, according to the FBI. He also has an interest in sailing and has followed a vegan diet.
Tips have led authorities to believe he has ties to Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Costa Rica and Bolivia.
"He may not be fluent in a foreign language," Lee said, and he may be teaching or working in tourism.
Because San Diego has been in hiding, he may be "vague or contradictory about his past history, routinely using prepaid cell phones or calling cards or often changing his email address," said Lee.
The FBI asks anyone with information to call its confidential tipline at 415-553-7400 or submit tips online at http://tips.fbi.gov.

About the Book
"A warm-hearted hug from a talented author—and knitter. It's a sweet comfort read, with an edge of humor and irony that strikes just the right note."
—New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"Rachael Herron charms with an emotional, heart-warming story of family, friendship and love in a town you'll never want to leave."
—USA Today bestselling author Barbara Freethy
Return with rising romance star Rachael Herron to the town of Cypress Hollow—site of her unforgettable debut, How to Knit a Love Song—and learn How to Knit a Heart Back Home. Fans of Debbie Macomber will adore this joyous tale of a fiery independent lady whose life interweaves with a bad-boy ex-cop's and the shared mission that knits their hearts together.
Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she's absolutely terrified.
In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities . . . while Lucy decides just how much of herself she's willing to gamble on love.

Many people have asked themselves where they come from, where are their roots, and these questions reflect a yearning that all of us have. Genealogy is the science of tracing your family tree. It is a kind of detective work or paper chase game. The results are often unpredictable but always fascinating.
Family history research has recently gained a powerful tool in the internet. Now that it is possible to do a keyword or name search almost instantly, it has become much easier to trace a family tree. Easier at least than in days gone by, when a researcher had to spend a lot of time trudging around a dusty archive library, or waiting several weeks for a reply from one records office or another.
Even with the internet though, there are some parts of one's family tree which will be impossible to reconstruct due to certain historical circumstances. One example that comes to mind is the fire that destroyed the Irish records office in Dublin in the nineteenth century.
So you have decided to try to trace your family tree. The question is, where do you start?
Probably the best starting point is to talk to members of your own family, particularly elders, and try to get them to remember as much as they can about the past, and about their relatives and forebears. This can be very useful in providing some jumping off points for further investigations. The facts they are able to give may well help you to refine and focus your search right from the start, thereby saving a lot of potentially wasted time and effort.
Talking to people about the past is something that should be done in a sensitive way, as it can often awaken memories which people would rather forget.
Next you should decide what aspect of your family history you are going to investigate. Are you interested in finding out about everything you can about everyone related to you? Or do you prefer a more narrow focus, such as tracing one particular branch? Or perhaps you will keep an open mind at first until you find something in your family tree that provokes your interest.
Some people even trace their spouse's family. A friend of mine who is divorced nevertheless is tracing her husband's ancestors on behalf of her children, since her ex-husband is descended from an old aristocratic family who were very powerful and influential in medieval England.
There are many different reasons for wanting to research family history, each one of them is interesting to the individual researcher, and all of them have been greatly facilitated by the arrival of the internet.

The Flaming Lips Ticket Information
This GRAMMY Award-winning act has ridden atop a psychedelic wave of richly layered rock music with spacey lyrics and complex instrumentation. The Flaming Lips tour will no doubt include the wild antics—including costumes, confetti, balloons, puppets, and singer Wayne Coyne's audience-traversing man-sized plastic bubble–that made the group famous. The band champions some of the notions that began with 1960s psychedelic rock, and it has developed a modern sound through innovation, experimentation, and unbridled creativity.

American Airlines has unveiled a new logo and livery, featuring a silver mica color for its planes and red, white and blue stripes on the tails.
The airline also announced that new crew uniforms will be created by the same designers who made dresses for celebrities such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Halle Berry. Designers Ken Kaufman and Isaac Franco have been hired to make the newest uniforms for the airline in more than 20 years.
"Having met with the design team, I am convinced that they will bring us up to date with a stunning and practical look," said Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants.

Spain's Alcorcon picked for EuroVegas resort
Las Vegas Sands casinos and Madrid officials have chosen the town of Alcorcon on the outskirts of the Spanish capital as the site for the multibillion-dollar "EuroVegas" casino project, which authorities hope will bring much-needed jobs and investment to the recession-wracked country.
Madrid regional government president Ignacio Gonzalez said work on the first of three phases would begin this year and be completed by 2017.
The entire project, initially comprising 12 hotels and six casinos, is to be finished by 2023.

HERE's the story:
The implementation of the Affordable Care Act would continue during a government shutdown, according to a Congressionial Reseach Service report commissioned by the office of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.).
According to the report, the government could rely on both mandatory and discretionary funding during a shutdown to continue with implementation, and agencies could continue working despite lacking appropriations, under exceptions to the Antideficiency Act.
The report notes that the Social Security Administration continued working during the 1995 shutdown. The Treasury indicated that the Internal Revenue Service, which plays a vital role in Obamacare, would continue to ...

Retracting my previous comment, as it seems the new v2.0 gave the result I was looking for (i.e. exact hex value). This is a fantastic app and so far the best that I've in its genre for Mac.
I find it odd that this program appears to insist on snapping Hex values to web-compatible values, whereas I'm only interested in saving the exact Hex color as I've decided upon. Is there any way to circumvent this behavior?
This app is great! It's very useful for me as a designer.
Color Schemer is a versatile application and can quickly generate color schemes. Besides the usual color wheel/theory based recommendations, it has a set of additional tools that come in handy once in awhile such as the mixer and photo analyzer. However, I think it could use some of the features found in the Window's version, such as the brightness/saturation increment buttons.
Very cool app. It does a simple task but does it well.
Never mind, I just found Painter's Picker, which does what I wanted.
Does anybody know of a program like this that supports CMYK values?
This one RULZ!!!!

UK Natural Gas Falls as Norwegian, Dutch Imports Rise
From Bloomberg
By Matthew Brown
U.K. natural gas for same-day delivery fell as Norwegian flows increased to a nine-month high and imports from the Netherlands rose, leaving the delivery network with excess fuel.
The within-day contract slid as much as 0.9 percent, broker data compiled by Bloomberg show. Norwegian flows were at a rate of 132 million cubic meters a day, the most since Bloomberg started compiling the Gassco AS data in January. Dutch imports through BBL Co.'s pipeline rose to a rate of 39 million cubic meters a day, the most since April 14, according to National Grid Plc (NG/) data.
Gas for today dropped 0.7 percent, or 0.5 pence, to 68.4 pence a therm at 4:04 p.m. London time. Month-ahead gas was little changed at 69.4 pence a therm. That's equivalent to $11.18 per million British thermal units and compares with $3.56 per million Btu of front-month U.S. gas.
The gas-transport system will contain 350 million cubic meters at 6 a.m. tomorrow, up from 346 million at the start of today, grid data show.
Day-ahead gas rose 0.5 percent to 68.95 pence a therm on predictions for freezing weather tomorrow that may boost demand for the heating fuel.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Graniteville-Vauclue-Warrenville Volunteer Fire Chief Phil Napier has defeated his Republican challengers in the primary election for the Aiken County Council District 6 seat.
The district includes parts of Aiken, along with Graniteville, Warrenville, Gloverville and other smaller areas. The seat was vacated back in November when Councilman Charles Barton was elected Aiken County auditor.
Napier faced John McMichael, who works in the insurance agency. He also faced off against Lynette Lowe Barton, the wife of the councilman who vacated the seat.
Napier had 51.5 percent of the vote compared to McMichael's 41.5 percent. Barton had about 7 percent of the vote. There will not be a runoff, but the general election will be in March.
McMichael had a strong showing in the several Aiken precincts. However, Napier saw overwhelming support in Breezy Hill, Graniteville and Warrenville.
Overall, as expected, turnout was very low. Several smaller precincts had zero ballots cast all day.
McMichael attributes Napier's win to the low turnout, along with Napier's name recognition, since he's served on council before. He says he'll continue to be active throughout the community. He told News 12 that he's yet to decide whether he'll face off against Napier in the March election as an Independent write-in candidate.
Napier tells News 12 he's thankful for all his support. He says the win shows how many friends he has and that he'll be the voice of the taxpayer. Napier says he'll work well with Council Chairman Ronnie Young, even though Young actively supported McMichael.
"I want taxpayers to come to me. I want taxpayers to come to the county council meetings and voice their opinions. If they aren't in favor of a project, stand up and tell it," Napier said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The ultimate team filed through the doors of City Hall one by one, displaying a mix of emotions.
Some Giants had tears in their eyes and others were still wide-eyed from a raucous parade down Market Street and a ceremony in front of hundreds of thousands jammed into the Civic Center.
A few were simply worn out after more than eight months of baseball, 178 games, two epic postseason comebacks and a World Series sweep of the Detroit Tigers that clinched the Giants' second title in three years.
"My shoulders are killing me," said Marco Scutaro, the MVP of the National League Championship Series. "I've never waved so much in my life. But it was worth it."
Scutaro, a free agent, is one of several key Giants with an uncertain future with the club. But Wednesday, there was little talk about the future. Players, team officials and fans were eager to relive a stunning run through October that culminated in an orange and black parade on Halloween.
The costumes and accessories were plentiful along the parade route, but the theme was anything but spooky. Thousands sported panda hats in honor of World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval, or wore long wigs to imitate Tim Lincecum, who had an up-and-down season but still gets the loudest cheers in this city.
There were old women wearing Buster Posey jerseys and young children yelling for Hunter Pence to give one of his trademark pre-game speeches. There was even a man dressed as a Viking and holding a broom, methodically sweeping a pair of plush tigers back and forth on a corner in front of City Hall.
"It was awesome, just awesome. To see the pure joy on faces was amazing," Pence said. "That's the ultimate motivator to do it again."
Pence will forever be remembered as the "reverend" of the 2012 championship club, and he punctuated a lengthy City Hall ceremony by leading the Giants in one last Rally Throng. As they did in the dugout before postseason games, players started with a slow clap and ended with a mosh pit, complete with a shower of sunflower seeds. The crowd roared on a day many wished would never end.
"We are a great example of this city," closer Sergio Romo said. "Different folks from different strokes. We all have a different story, but we had one goal, one job, one dream in mind."
Romo, proudly wearing a shirt that read, "I just look illegal," exited his convertible parade car at one point to greet fans who screamed, took photos, and held up signs with messages like "Dodgers fans are working today" and "San Francisco, Happiest Place on Earth."
San Francisco had a decidedly wilder atmosphere than Disneyland on Wednesday, but the day did come with a fairy-tale ending. Tony Bennett sang "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," delighting the fans and Giants, many of whom took out cell phones to snap photos with the icon.
Bennett wasn't the only surprise guest Wednesday. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was the driver of Matt Cain's convertible, and first baseman Brandon Belt couldn't believe his eyes when he arrived at his car and found that 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was his driver.
"He was a good driver, he was smooth," said Belt, a native of Texas. "The only problem is I'm a Cowboys fan. I told him 'I'm a Cowboys fan, but I do like you all, too.' I hope the Niners win a Super Bowl."
If San Francisco's other team can follow the Giants' footsteps, Belt said he would return the favor.
"If they win a Super Bowl," Belt said, "I'll come back and maybe he'll let me drive his car."
Not all of the surprises were pleasant. Bruce Bochy displayed the World Series Trophy from the back seat of a Rolls-Royce, but the car ran out of gas as it approached City Hall. There was no putting a damper on this day, however, especially for Bochy, who was visibly exhausted after the postseason run but had a smile plastered across his face throughout.
"I thank you," Bochy said to Giants fans in front of City Hall and across the globe, "for making this one of the greatest moments of my life."

WASHINGTON (October 6, 2012)--President Barack Obama's campaign and Democrats raised $181 million combined in September, pulling in the most money in one month during his re-election bid.
Mr. Obama's fundraising haul topped the more than $114 million raised by his campaign and Democrats during the month of August.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign and Republicans have not yet reported September fundraising totals.
Mr. Obama said in a message on the online social network Twitter that more than 1.8 million people donated in September, including more than a half-million who had not donated before in 2008 or 2012.
The $181 million was slightly less than Mr. Obama's record of about $190 million in September 2008.
Mr. Obama's campaign ended August with nearly $89 million in the bank, but did not release its current cash on hand.

Did anyone use this headline JAN 25 2000
Did anyone use this headline in conjunction with Patrick Naughton's conviction: "Infoseek.con"? If Bill G. and company ever catch it from the Justice Dept., it would work for them too: "Microsoft.con". OK, so my brain is a little fried today....Photoshop for 6 straight hours will do that to you.

(... or I misunderstand this setting, but I don't think so)
Using 1.20.400
My main goal is that I do NOT want to see subtitles unless I specifically enable them. Reasons:
1/ Transcoding when not needed loses quality
2/ Subtitles are just annoying if all viewers speak the audio's language.
Makes sense, right?
Option 1:
- Definitely disable all subtitles
- Use subtitles from the Transcode folder where appropriate
Problem: Ps3mediaserver uses bad settings and for some reason the subtitle size is HUGE (like filling 30% of the screen height). Perhaps this is because the mencoded subtitles settings are greyed out when you tick 'disable all subtitles'?
Option 2:
- Allow subtitles (untick definitely disable..)
- Mencoder -> audio language priority: eng,nld,ger
- Mencoder -> audio/subtitles language priority: en,off;eng,off;nl,off;nld;off
Problem: any file that has subtitles will show them, even english/dutch subs.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch
Severe weather is possible through nightfall for most of western Alabama
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 1:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 1:09 p.m.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for most of western Alabama, and new watches and warnings could be added as the storms move eastward.
Forecasters say the storms bring a risk of tornadoes, flooding and damaging winds, particularly in central Alabama.
The leading edge of storm began moving into Alabama's northwestern corner around lunchtime, and forecasters say severe weather is possible through nightfall.
In Mississippi, authorities say there has been one reported fatality and several injuries from a tornado that hit Kemper County.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn says the fatality was reported to have happened west-northwest of DeKalb, near Mississippi Highway 493.

Acne Studios Opens Los Angeles Store
LOS ANGELES - The first time many people encounter the name of cool-school fashion label Acne Studios, they request the spelling. A-C-N-E? Yes. Like the facial blemish.
Even Jonny Johansson, Acne's co-founder and designer, has his doubts about the name. "I hate the name Acne," he said this week a few hours before opening the brand's newest store. He cringed dramatically and says a co-founder of the Swedish label strong-armed him into using the name in 1996. "I never wanted the name but now I'm stuck with it. It's too late."
Johansson flew in from Stockholm this week to open Acne's second store in the U.S. – but the label didn't put the store anywhere predictable. While other fashion brands flock to Rodeo Drive or Melrose Avenue, Acne opted to open its store in gritty downtown LA, far from any sort of glitz in a historic Art Deco downtown building, called the Eastern Columbia Building. The neighborhood requires navigating around people sleeping on the sidewalk. Other nearby fashion stores sell $2.99 scarves under homemade signs.
But the neighborhood is poised to become a trendy hotspot, and Johansson got in while the rents are still cheap. Already a Umami Burger sits across the street and the trendy Ace Hotel, which hosted the store's party, is right next door.
Because he had more space than he could use in the store, Johansson invited two friends (Michael Backlinder and Magnus Jökulsson) who own several coffee shops in Stockholm, called il Caffe, to open up in half the space. He says he figures people who make the trek to downtown L.A. will be parched. And what with the nosh, maybe they'll stick around awhile.
Prescient calls like that are what have put Acne in the ranks of Isabel Marant, Carven and other scene-stealing fashion brands. Acne made its name selling generic looking denim when True Religion's heavily embellished jeans were all the rage.
Acne's aesthetic is experimental-meets-downtown. It's one of the few labels that can produce a metallic linen man's suit that looks wearable. The devil's in the deceptively simple details.
Johansson, who uses words like "generic" and "honest" when describing what he wants his fashions to be, says the label has been growing by 20% to 30% a year — even during the 2008 financial crisis. Except for that nasty 2001, when, he says, "I wanted to design a whole universe. And I did it. And it was sh-t."
There was another year when he wanted down coats to be slim cut. They came in so small that only tiny, skinny people could wear them. "We had down jackets in the basement that we couldn't sell because they were made wrong," Johansson says.
These early hijinks have been smoothed today. I first came across Acne a number of years ago when New York designer Gilles Mendel was wearing the label's jeans in his studio. Mendel waxed poetic about the hard-to-find brand. Acne is no longer hard to find.

If archive attribute on file is set, then list item as "new"
If more than 85% of a file is played, unset archive attribute
If archive attribute on file is not set, list item as "seen".
This corresponds to the Windows convention of backing up media in a certain sense (if you see yourself as a 'device' ingesting unseen data)
For other filing systems there are similar file attributes etc, although of course you could choose to just do it in the media player?
Perhaps "newness" can be listed in days.
If a file hasn't been seen, list the # of days/months/years that have elapsed between last modified and 'now'
[5d] 1x01 - Coupling - Flushed.mkv
If a file has been seen, list the # of days/months/years elapsed after viewing with a negative number
[seen] 1x02 - Coupling - Size Matters.mkv
Of course, in the #trancode# folder there should be an option to toggle seen-ness manually.

Social Media
Due to the increasing popularity of social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter), the OU Athletics Department has created this page as a quick reference for Sooner fans.
Please remember that only coaches and Athletics Department staff members may be involved in the recruiting process. All boosters are prohibited from contacting prospects or members of a prospect's family by any means for the purpose of encouraging the prospect's participation in the University of Oklahoma's athletics program.
May I post messages on a prospective student-athlete's Facebook page or similar site and try to convince him/her to attend OU?No, you may not. An athletics representative may not e-mail or post messages on the webpage or website of any prospective student-athlete.
May I create an online group dedicated to convincing or encouraging a prospect that we want them to attend OU if the group members do not directly contact the prospect?The NCAA would consider this as recruiting activity by boosters, so this would not be permissible.
What if I do not urge a prospect to come to OU, may I contact them just to tell them about all the great things OU has to offer?No. Once again, this is another form of recruiting.
Who is defined as a prospect?Any individual that has begun classes for the ninth grade. This includes any individual who is currently enrolled in and/or attending courses at a junior college.
Please remember that individuals other than Oklahoma coaches should not be contacting prospects, directly or indirectly, in any manner or using any form of communication in an effort to persuade them to attend OU.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO)-- Military members risk their lives for us but don't make as much money as you think.
While we spend time with our loved ones over the holidays, they're away from their families, putting themselves in harm's way and conducting dangerous missions we'll never know about.
Now you can make a difference in the life of a military child.
For the fourth year in a row, the United States Army National Guard is giving you an opportunity to help military families who can't buy gifts for their kids. You can donate toys to the "Toys for Tiny Soldiers" program.
Volunteers were busy Wednesday wrapping toy collection boxes.
"Christmas is important to everybody, so people who are going through hard times and aren't able to provide their kids with food on the table, it's hard. So we're trying to take a little bit of burden off them by getting these toys to them," said Danielle Hindson, a specialist with the National Guard Family Assistance Program.
From now until Christmas, local businesses will have the toy collection boxes, where you can donate new toys.
Just before Christmas, military parents will be able to pick out gifts to give their kids from the collection of donated toys. Toys will be donated to all military families, including active duty, reserves, national guard, veterans and survivors of those who gave their lives for our freedom.
Last year, the program provided toys to more than 80 local military children. For more information, contact Danielle Hindson at (720) 250-5571, (970) 640-7846, or email@example.com.

Published by Bauer from 1929–37, beginning with the extrafett weight in 1929 and most of the others in 1931. [Reichardt] The metal original has alternates for 'K' and 'R' with a curved leg. Sold by Neufville in Spain as Época.
Berthold added a Beton Hairline [shown in the E3 catalog, 1982], probably in response to ITC Stymie Hairline.
The original design had an unusual 't' with flat platform serif at the baseline. Hunter is the only revival that retains this shape, while other adopt the more conventional form from the condensed styles. URW's version features outline and stencil style as well as a set of compressed caps. Formerly known as Egypt No1.

David McCormick and I are working on a deal to put the new Diablo DT in the am/int players packs at the Greater Des Moines Challenge. Here's what he says about them, "It is very similar to the Inferno but with golf ball dimple technology on the wing. It is a bit farther flying and can be thrown lower to the ground without flipping over."
Whether or not we get them will depend on the price I think.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio – No. 12 Pikeville built a 25-point second half lead and cruised to a 72-52 win over Shawnee State on Saturday afternoon at Waller Gymnasium.
Pikeville had three players in double figures as it improved to 23-5 on the season with its fourth straight win. The Bears are now 14-5 in the league with only Monday's game at U.Va.-Wise remaining on the regular-season schedule.
Pikeville led 37-23 at the half but sizzled out of the gate, hitting 7-of-12 from the field to outscore Shawnee State 19-8 to build a 56-31 lead.
