The future home of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in Yantley, Ala., is where dozens of volunteers with Carpenters for Christ are helping to make a dream come true.
The group of seventy Carpenters for Christ volunteers are all from churches in Athens and Decatur, Ala.
Christian Fellowship founder, the Rev. Robert Webb, who is also active with mission work with National Baptist Convention, says when he contacted the group it didn't hesitate to come.
"When I shared with them that we have a burning for missions, they agreed to come help with this church," said Webb.
"Both of our churches were actually built by volunteers from Carpenters for Christ. We decided we needed to give back," said Jim Ernest, a volunteer with Carpenters for Christ.
Prior to the volunteers arriving, there was absolutely nothing inside the structure. Within one day's time, walls have gone up, and plumbing has gotten started. Church officials say the volunteers are saving the church almost a half million dollars.
Carpenters for Christ was joined by members of other nearby churches in east Mississippi and west Alabama lending a helping hand.
"They came two years ago and helped us with our church, and I'm now returning the favor," said Allen Buckalew of Bethany Baptist Church in Whynot, Miss.
"It reminds me of Martin Luther King, when he said one day we'd all come together as one and I'm grateful to be a part of it," said Willie Horn of Gilfield Baptist Church in Pushmataha, Ala.
A lot of work is expected to be accomplished between now and June 18, when Carpenters for Christ is set to leave. Church officials say it is that work that will help the church get many steps closer to its goal of having the first service there in October 2009.
"See, this church is going to give us a better opportunity to do mission work," said Webb. "Missions is all about meeting needs. Any need that we see in the community, this church is going to help us meet that need."

Bush Joins Obama in White House Portrait Ceremony
Former President George W. Bush returned to the White House for the unveiling of his official portrait Thursday, joining his successor President Barack Obama in a warm East Room ceremony that set aside their political differences.
Mr. Obama credited Mr. Bush with going out of his way to make sure his transition to the presidency was smooth after the 2008 election. "President Bush understood that rescuing our economy was not just a Democratic or Republican issue, it was an American priority. I'll always be grateful for that," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama also told Mr. Bush he would never forget seeing him standing on the rubble of Twin Towers after the Sept. 11th attacks with a bull horn "conveying extraordinary strength and resolve" to Americans.
Mr. Obama has framed his presidency —and his re-election campaign— as a rebuilding of America in the wake of Mr. Bush's stewardship of everything from the economy to foreign affairs. But no political or personal differences figured in the two presidents' remarks.
Both Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura, had official portraits unveiled Thursday afternoon. The ceremony also included First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Jill Biden, former President George H.W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush. The portrait ceremony is a presidential tradition marked by pleasantries but also political awkwardness.
Mr. Obama said, "We may have our differences politically but the presidency transcends those differences." He and Mr. Bush also traded jokes. "You left me a really good TV sports package," Mr. Obama said, drawing laughter. "I use it," he added.
Mr. Bush thanked Mr. Obama for welcoming him back to the White House, and offered him some advice. He said when Mr. Obama is wandering the halls of the White House and sees Mr. Bush's portrait, he'll now be able to ask "What would George do?"
Mr. Bush also noted how Dolly Madison saved the portrait of George Washington during the War of 1812. "Now, Michelle, if anything happens – there's your man," he said, nodding to his own portrait.
See the transcript of remarks at the ceremony, plus a photo gallery.)
Mr. Bush's portrait shows him in a grey suit leaning on a chair in the Oval Office. Mrs. Bush's portrait shows her in a midnight blue down standing in the Green Room.
Mr. Bush has kept a low profile since leaving office, but a look over the week leading up to Mr. Bush's visit shows the 43rd president is on the Obama administration's mind frequently.
In Iowa for a campaign rally last week, Mr. Obama implicitly laid blame on Mr. Bush for the nation's economic malaise and told voters that his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, wants to take the country backward. "The last thing we can afford to do is to return to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama's chief spokesman, Jay Carney, invoked Mr. Bush on Twitter Wednesday to defend his boss's handling of the nation's balance sheet. Mr. Obama, he wrote, "inherited the largest deficit in history – over $1[trillion] – from his GOP predecessor."
Mr. Carney's tweet came just an hour after he told reporters that Mr. Obama "looks forward" to Mr. Bush's visit, and that their relationship "transcends political and policy differences."

"We have too many people in this country unable to raise a child."
The mom was too drunk to drive her twin 5-month-old boys to the hospital for treatment of multiple rat bites. It happened Monday night in Aurora, Mo., and the 22-year-old mother is now in jail. But jailing the woman is just the first step in what should be a complete examination of the social system in Missouri.
I most certainly don't blame the social system specifically for this tragic incident. But rest assured, this woman was receiving some form of state or federal financial assistance. It seems to me - though I don't have the solution - that receiving those checks puts some burden of proof on a parent that they, in fact, have the minimum skills to raise a child.
Here's what the police found when they went to the woman's house. Police saw rodents scurry past. There were holes in the walls and drug paraphernalia, liquor bottles and other debris strewn about, with rats and mice running around. The house was cold. Space heaters were being used to warm the house. Part of the kitchen and bathroom floor had been removed, and no food, milk or diapers were found in the house.
The twins were strapped in car seats in the attic where the rat attack occurred. The rats had bit the lips, arms, hands and feet of the infants.
I do not believe this incident in isolated. It is truly the extreme. But I believe there are thousands of similar situations across Missouri where children are placed in harm's way while the rest of society stands by - perhaps innocent, perhaps naive, perhaps negligent.
Is there a way to conduct mandatory, in-home visits with every parent receiving child assistance? Maybe that's a policy and I am just ignorant. Maybe there is inadequate manpower to accomplish this pipe dream. But had that policy been in place, perhaps these twins would not have suffered the abuse they did.
Cases like this sicken the public. But then, just as quickly, they are forgotten. I've written too many times to think the public keeps these cases in mind and works toward a solution.
Here's what I believe. We have too many people in this country unable to raise a child. They lack the intelligence and maturity and, quite often, they repeat the mistakes made by their parents. As a result, too many children live in horrible conditions that should not be accepted in our modern society.
It will never happen because Americans cherish their privacy and freedoms. But someone should suggest door-to-door visits with every home to assure that the safety of the child. It will never happen. But it should.

Book of Deuteronomy
Visions of the Promised Land Theme
Book of Deuteronomy Theme of Visions of the Promised Land Quotes
Picture this: you're driving through Minnesota in the dead of winter with no heat. Suddenly, you come upon a magical place where it's 72 and sunny, there are warm-water beaches, all Apple products are free, and all utility bills are paid. Sounds nice, right?
In the Promised Land, the Israelites won't have to work for anything. The plan, as it's laid out in Deuteronomy, is for them to evict the people living in the Promised Land. That way, they won't have to build houses, plant trees, or wait for anything to grow. They'll just take over, and prosperity will abound—as long as they obey God, of course.
Unfortunately, the Israelites will be victims of their own success. Because life will be so easy peasy, the Israelites will begin worshipping idols, and God will evict them from the Promised Land. What can we say? Utopias are a tough sell.
Questions About Visions of the Promised Land
- What specific visions of the Promised Land do we get? How is it described? Does it seem realistic?
- Why did God choose the Israelites out of all the other nations to take the Promised Land?
- What about all the people who are living in the Promised Land now? Why is God okay just destroying them and taking their land?
- What is the relationship between the Promised Land and the Garden of Eden in Genesis?

Story Published: Oct 28, 2010 Courtesy Oregon State Police BURNS, Ore., - The Oregon State Police has released a startling 27-second video highlighting a head-on crash involving one of its troopers.
The video, which was taken last year in Eastern Oregon near Burns, shows OSP Trooper Josh Nagle driving to an injury crash on Highway 20 during icy conditions.
The video shows the trooper passing a semi and then soon after a gray pickup loses control and slams into the trooper's vehicle.
Nagle, who had been with OSP for one year, steered to the right shoulder in an attempt to avoid the pickup but was struck nearly head-on. After the initial impact, a dump truck following Nagle's patrol car struck the rear of the involved pickup.
Emergency workers spent about 30 minutes using 'Jaws of Life' to extricate Nagle before he and the other driver were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the pickup was cited and convicted for failure to maintain a lane of travel.
"We are thankful this crash wasn't a fatal reminder and that both drivers recovered from their injuries," said Chris Brown, Oregon State Police superintendent."
"We hope this video reminds everyone to use your safety restraints and to be aware at all times, especially when winter and wet weather conditions can make driving challenging for anyone."

The second position was occupied by France and the third by USA. Then came Italy, Australasia and Africa in the next three places.
When asked the workers to retire in the same country, Spain and France were the top preferences.
Nearly, 86.8 percent residents preferred Spain, 81.1 percent preferred France, while 73.6 percent preferred Denmark. UK (42.7 percent) was the last country where the residents wanted to retire.
This survey is part of the Aon Consulting European Employee Benefits Benchmark, a survey of more than 7,500 workers from across Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, ten of the leading economies in Europe.
"There are financial implications that people thinking about retiring overseas need to consider. Cost of living may be higher in the country of choice, and so people planning on retiring abroad need to factor that in to their savings plan," said Oliver Rowlands, head of retirement, Europe, Middle East and Africa, at Aon Consulting.
"There can also be tax implications both at home and in a new country of residence, so it is certainly worth investigating that in advance so there are no nasty surprises later on. And finally healthcare benefits can vary widely for expatriates and this will be a major concern for retirees as they grow older."

By Ms Kari Hawkins (AMCOM)July 14, 2011
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.--For 27 years, Mattie Patton has served Soldiers. Come Aug. 31, her service will no longer be needed.
She and the food service staff at the Dining Facility will stop providing meals to the Arsenal's Soldiers when the facility closes at the end of August. The Dining Facility, which has been part of the Redstone landscape since the 1950s, is a casualty of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure recommendations.
Even as Redstone welcomes a four-star command, a recruiting brigade and a host of new BRAC-related and non-BRAC-related neighbors, it is losing its large contingent of young Soldiers who receive advanced individual training at the Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School. And with that loss also goes some of the basic services provided to troops, such as the dining facility.
"We've known this was going to happen since BRAC was announced," Hal Weatherman, the Garrison's installation food program manager, said. "But it was something many of our employees just didn't want to believe.
"And even though they knew it was going to close, their dedication to serving and taking care of Soldiers never stopped. We will still provide the best service until the very last Soldier comes through the door."
At the peak of its business, the Dining Facility, located in building 3443 on Aerobee Road near Gate 10, served 500,000 meals a year and had 63 employees, who are employed through a contract with K&K;Food Services.
Starting in March of this year, the numbers have been dropping as OMEMS has moved segments of its training courses. As recently as March, the staff of 55 employees was providing 50,000 meals a month. In June, only 16,400 meals were served.
Weatherman has been working the budget to reflect the monthly drawdown of young Soldiers at Redstone, cutting back on food supplies. At the end of June, the Dining Facility's contractor sent out layoff notices that took the staff down to 30. Those remaining will work through the August closing, and then another month to help clean and dismantle a Garrison icon that has often been a showcase to visiting dignitaries and local community leaders of the services provided to Soldiers at Redstone.
"We have several Army culinary arts trophies from competitions where judges came in and judged our facility against Army facilities worldwide. We've been in the top five dining facilities in the Southeast region in the large category several times," said Dan Tyree, the K&K;dining facility manager, whose nearly 40 years in the food industry service includes military service and 12 years at the Dining Facility.
At the end of September, the Dining Facility and its inventory will be turned over to the Directorate of Public Works. The building will be renovated for future use.
In the early years of its long history at Redstone, troop dining actually consisted of five to seven dining facilities on post. In 2004, the current Dining Facility was built right next door to the original main facility for $7.5 million. Its 21,000 square feet were designed with troops in mind, providing state-of-the-art food preparation areas and equipment, a well-designed cafeteria-style food service area, and ample dining space to feed up to 500 Soldiers every hour.
"The professional staff has a daily direct effect on Soldiers' morale and duty performance," Mike Durham, chief of Plans and Operations for the Garrison, said. "All their efforts are focused on preparing the best food and service for the Soldiers. The staff takes great pride in providing this food service -- greeting each Soldier with a smile on their face, and hoping to receive a smile or 'thank you' in return."
Three times a day during the week, and twice a day on weekends, Soldiers have made their way to the Dining Facility. The facility's staff starts their day at 4 a.m. and end their work at 10 p.m.
On special occasions, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Army birthday, retirees were invited to join Soldiers for holiday meals. The facility also supported community special events involving Redstone, and provided food services for local Guard and Reserve units as well as Redstone emergency services workers, international military students, Command and General Staff College students, and Boy Scout and JROTC groups.
But it was the young Soldiers that the Dining Facility staff enjoyed the most.
"This is one of the best jobs in the Army," said Weatherman, who has 24 years of service with the Dining Facility. "We have the Soldiers three times a day to take care of them. It can be a hard job. But it's also a rewarding job 365 days a year."
Those 365 days a year have included some trying times, such as the Thanksgiving 2003 electrical fire at the old dining facility that caused the staff to move its traditional Thanksgiving meal to the Sparkman Center cafeteria. Or the April 27 tornado, when the Dining Facility was able to serve meals despite issues with electrical power.
"We're never closed. We have seriously dedicated employees who make it through snow, ice and all kinds of bad weather to feed the troops. We've never missed a mission," Weatherman said. "Our dedicated work force makes us look good."
"Our job has been taking care of the privates," Tyree added. "They are our VIPs."
Those privates " between the ages of 18 and 29 " have enjoyed the best full food service the Army has to offer at the Dining Facility, which is managed in line with Army regulations. But along with serving up meals, the staff also serves up care and concern.
"You see Soldiers come and go. They start out here as privates. Then, they come back and you can see how they've climbed all the way to sergeant major," said employee Patton, one of nine Dining Facility workers with more than 25 years of service.
"They will seek you out when they come here and say 'Do you remember me?'"
Employee JoAnn Lewis often encourages Soldiers to stay in touch with their families.
"I will ask them: 'When was the last time they talked to their families?'" she said. "I will ask them 'You're going to call them this weekend, right?'"
Lewis has spent 24 years serving Soldiers at the Dining Facility.
"We will be proud of our work here until the very last day. We will love and support these Soldiers until they lock us out the door," she said.
"But I'm not sad. When one door closes, another one opens. You just have to trust in the Lord. He'll lead. My prayers are for other people anyway and for the Soldiers, not for me."

President's Message
San Jose State is an engaged learning community committed to preparing our students with adaptive skills and knowledge for the global 21st century. Our campus' diversity is a vital asset that enriches our students' learning experience.
We must move beyond thinking about the compositional diversity of our university community in terms of demographic characteristics only, towards a more coherent, intentional, comprehensive approach that places diversity at the center of our university mission to foster learning.
As president, I am committed to stewarding the university's embrace of diversity. I am establishing a commission on diversity. The commission's task will be to help us assess our current status, align, integrate and improve our institutional policies, educational practices and programs to have a more powerful impact on student learning and achievement. The commission's work will examine university principles of diversity such as Institutional Viability and Vitality, Education and Scholarship, Access and Success and Campus Climate, and Intergroup Relations
I believe that our diversity helps us understand and build our capacity to make a better world. Let's embark on a shared journey of discovery to improve ourselves so that we can improve the world.

Shenley United congregation stay put
When the festivals come around this year, members of the small Shenley United congregation will no longer need to consider themselves "wandering Jews".
That is because for the first time in its six-year history, the 120-family Hertfordshire congregation will hold its Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services in the same venue - the Old Chapel village community centre where it has been conducting its weekly Shabbat services.
In previous years, services have had to be switched between the local cricket club, a school, an old people's home and other temporary locations.
"Maintaining the same venue will seem like a real luxury for us," said a Shenley spokesperson, "especially since it saves us having to schlep the Ark, the sifrei Torah, the prayer books and everything else we need from place-to-place."

With graduation approaching, MSU Meridian hosted its excellence in education banquet and Phi Delta Kappa initiation program Tuesday evening.
The event recognized 21 new members who were inducted into Phi Delta Kappa, the premier professional association for educators. 11 local educators and 4 education graduates of MSU Meridian were also honored on Tuesday night.
"It's important because public education is under a lot of criticism," Dr. George Thomas with MSU Meridian says. "A lot of people don't understand the good things that are going on in school. We have good students, we have good teachers, and they need to be recognized."
Thomas says area educators from Meridian and Lauderdale County school districts were nominated for the excellence in education award by school administrators in their respective districts and/or by PDK members.
Eleven local educators were recognized:
Cynthia Bolden, Information and Communication Technology at Northwest Middle School
Jennifer Davis, Choral music, Piano, AP Music Theory at Meridian High School
Jennifer DuPont, 3rd grade, Poplar Springs Elementary School
Gwen French, 4th grade at T. J. Harris
Leann Oliver, 8th grade science at West Lauderdale Middle School
Lisa Rawlings, 3rd grade at Northeast Elementary School
Julie Rawson, English at Clarkdale High School
Lee Ann Rhaly, Health Science at West Lauderdale High School
Terrie Ridinger, Librarian at West Lauderdale Elementary School
Laurel Rigdon, Teacher Academy at Ross Collins Vocational Center
Carolyn Woods, Inclusion Teacher at Parkview
Four MSU-Meridian education graduates recognized:
Jessica Johnson (Meridian) - Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, May 2012 - student teaching internship at Enterprise Elementary School.
Paige Satcher (Enterprise) - Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, May 2012 - student teaching internship at Clarkdale Middle School. Chosen Outstanding undergraduate in Education, Riley Scholar, and Summa Cum Laude honors with a 4.0 GPA.
Danielle Tyrney (Quitman) - Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, English, May 2012 - student teaching internship at Enterprise High School. Graduate with Cum Laude honors.
Hannah Watkins (Union) - Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, English, May 2012 - student teaching internship at Philadelphia High School. Graduate with Summa Cum Laude honors with a 4.0 GPA.

Marietta College is hosting the 2014 Ohio Athletic Conference baseball tournament as well as conducting commencement exercises this week, which translates to a boost for the local economy.
"There will be at least four teams competing in the OAC tournament Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week with about 25 members on each team, including staff and coaches. And we typically have around 2,000 people in attendance during graduation," said Tom Perry, executive director for strategic communications and marketing at Marietta College.
He said this week's events will be the first of two big weekends sports-wise.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Members of the Marietta College Pioneers baseball team were preparing Don Schaly Field Wednesday afternoon for the 2014 Ohio Athletic Conference tournament that begins today and runs through Saturday.
"We'll also be hosting the regional baseball tournament next weekend, which will be much larger, with six to eight teams participating," Perry said.
The baseball action takes place at Don Schaly Field on Pike Street, where one of the nearest eateries is Stoked Coffee at 302 Pike.
"We do see some increased business when there are games going on at the ball field. If it's a cold night people will come in for a hot drink, and if it's a warm day they might order an iced coffee or tea," said Holly Males, assistant manager.
Fact Box

The tournament begins at 1 p.m. today with Baldwin Wallace facing Marietta College.
At 4 p.m. today John Carroll will play Heidelberg.
On Friday at 11 a.m., Thursday's Game 1 winner will face the Game 2 winning team.
At 2 p.m. Friday Thursday's Game 1 loser will face the Game 2 loser.
The Game 3 loser and Game 4 winner will compete at 5 p.m. Friday.

She said the uptick in business is not always large, but there's a noticeable increase in foot traffic at the store.
Linda Kring, a manager at Bar-B-Cutie, 113 Pike St., said folks attending games or other college-related events often stop in for a meal.
"Especially people from out of town who have heard about us," she said. "We do get busy during those weekends, mostly with families coming in for various college events."
Tony Styer, co-owner of The Marietta Brewing Company on Front Street, said the upcoming weekend will be huge.
"We usually tell our staff members not to plan days off during that time," he said. "We've already had a lot of calls from people asking if we're open Sunday-we're open every Sunday. Families are celebrating graduation, but it's also Mother's Day. And anytime there's a baseball or basketball tournament at Marietta College we get a lot of business."
Hotels also benefit from visiting teams, staff and families.
"We're pretty booked for the weekend," said Angie Seevers, associate with the Fairfield Inn and Suites off Ohio 7, just north of Marietta.
"These events help increase weekend stays and we need it," she said. "It's a welcome boost for our business. Weekdays we're basically pretty full with business travelers, but college events can help keep those rooms filled on weekends, too."
Jeri Knowlton, executive director of the Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Marietta College draws a lot of people off I-77 and into the Marietta area.
"The college brings people not only for academic purposes, but also for these athletic events," she said. "They eat at our restaurants, stay at local hotels, and shop our stores, adding to our tourism which generates more economic activity here."
Knowlton said May is traditionally the kickoff month for the local tourism season.
"And the other thing is that Marietta has a very high return visitor rate," she added. "If people come here for a first visit due to an athletic or other college event, they'll often return for a longer stay to explore more of the area."
Thanks in part to the college events, it's becoming more difficult to find a hotel room in Marietta, said Charlotte Keim, executive director of the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce.
"Kudos to Marietta College for hosting this weekend's baseball tournament," she said. "A lot of our businesses rely on these events that generate more spending by visitors."
Keim noted that athletic teams from out of town often include an entourage of staff, family, friends and fans who will spend time and money in Marietta.
"And visitors always say how friendly people are in this area," she said. "That includes all of us, not just business owners or hoteliers."
Visitors traveling to Don Schaly Field for the OAC tournament will find the road surface milled off in that area of Pike Street in preparation for asphalt paving. Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman David Rose said there may be some road work on Thursday and Friday along Pike Street, weather permitting, but added that no maintenance of traffic issues are expected there over the weekend.

In the past couple of years since her son Cameron was diagnosed with a deadly brain disorder called Neurodegeneration Brain Iron Accumulation, Lynda Meade has truly seen the best come out in people.
"We've been overwhelmed by the support by people who know us and who don't," Meade says.
She never thought she'd see the just the opposite.
Surveillance video captured at the Potterville B.P. station shows a woman walking in, then walking out with a collection jug full of money in hand-- money meant for research for Cameron's disorder.
"The jug is gone. It's gone," says Lisa Paige, a family friend.
Paige and her friend Tina Sweet were the ones who put the jugs all over town. Sweet, a perfect stranger to the family, simply felt compelled to help.
"It's just a heartwarming story. The boy's 10 years old. He lost the ability to speak and walk," Sweet says.
But when they went to retrieve the jug, it was missing, along with the nearly $200 inside.
"I was absolutely sick. It made me sick to believe someone could do that. How do you sleep at night? How do you live your life?" Paige says.
Thanks to the video, they have clear images of who this woman is. She looks to be driving an older ford van and her jacket has a "TM" logo on it.
To Meade, this is all a surprise. She didn't know the women were raising the money, but says she can't help but be sympathetic to the thief.
"You can never understand people's circumstances. I would assume the person has something going on that's worse," Meade says.
Meade says she doesn't have much interest in pressing charges against the woman; the women just want the money back. If you have any information, please call Potterville Police at (517) 645-7802.

Snoqualmie Tribe Donates $275,000 To Agencies Responding To Oso Slide
Leaders of the Snoqualmie Tribe announced it would donate $275,000 to six groups and agencies responding to last weekend's deadly mudslide in Oso.
Tribal elders announced donations of $50,000 to the Oso, Arlington and Darrington fire departments on Friday. They'll also contribute $50,000 apiece to the Red Cross and the Cascade Valley Hospital Relief Foundation, in addition to $25,000 to the Snohomish County Search & Rescue K-9 team.
"It wasn't hard to decide [to donate], it was hard to decide how much," said Carolyn Lubenau, vice chair of the Snoqualmie Tribal Council.
The gifts come after a public plea to large employers in the area from Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots during Friday morning's press briefing.
On Thursday, coffee company Starbucks announced gifts of $50,000 to the Red Cross and $50,000 to the United Way of Snohomish County.
The Tulalip Tribe also gave $50,000 on Wednesday to the Cascade Valley Hospital Relief Foundation.

How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
The Thing in the coffin writhed; and a hideous, blood-curdling screech came from the opened red lips. The body shook and quivered and twisted in wild contortions; the sharp white teeth champed together till the lips were cut, and the mouth was smeared with a crimson foam. But Arthur never faltered […] as his untrembling arm rose and fell, driving deeper and deeper the mercy-bearing stake. (16.45)
Whether or not you want to read the stake as phallic symbol, this scene is pretty sexual.
Quote #8
With his left hand he held both Mrs Harker's hands, keeping them away with her arms at full tension; his right hand gripped her by the back of the neck, forcing her face down on his bosom. Her white nightdress was smeared with blood, and a thin stream trickled down the man's bare breast which was shown by his torn-open dress. (21.42)
Poor Mina! She gets victimized right on the edge of her marriage bed, with her husband powerless to step in and save her. The posture of Mina and Dracula here, with him holding the back of her neck and forcing her to, um, imbibe his body fluids, is often read as a kind of rape.
Quote #9
Then the beautiful eyes of the fair woman open and look love, and the voluptuous mouth present to a kiss—and man is weak. (27.29)
Van Helsing explains why the Brides of Dracula at the Castle have to be dealt with—they're just too sexy! They can seduce any man. In his opinion, no woman should have that kind of power, so he's going to step up and kill them for everyone's good.


text: About 2 months ago I made a top. I took it to work and had a girl try it on since I made the small size and wasn't sure how it would look on someone. Well it looked really cute on her and she loved it so I gave it to her. Since then she has worn it to work and everyone asked her where she got it. She told them that I made it. Since then everyone has been wanting one. The problem is is that no one has offered to pay for the yarn. I do not mind making them for everyone but I just think that they should at least ask how much it cost to make it then offer to reimburse me for my cost. I am not the type of person to ask them to pay for it. Am I being an awful person to at least to think that they should at least pay for the yarn? There are 7 people that have asked me to make one for them.

Reaching a milestone
This month marks the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's a civil rights law that seeks to eliminate discrimination against people based on their disability. The ADA applies to discrimination in employment, state and local government services, privately operated public accommodations, transportation and telecommunications.
Ridge Area Arc and The Arc of Florida, nonprofit organizations that advocate on behalf of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, have seen positive changes in these areas since the ADA was signed into law in 1990.
Just a few years before its passage, many Floridians with intellectual and developmental disabilities were institutionalized. Today, many are living and working in their community.
While great strides have been made in our society, discrimination still exists. Attitudes, poor enforcement of the law, underfunded programs and fiscal difficulties in state and local government budgets all contribute to the ongoing need to be vigilant advocates for full inclusion and equality.
There are still issues here in Florida. In 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark case Olmstead v. L.C. that unnecessary segregation of individuals with disabilities in institutions is a form of discrimination. Despite this, our state continues to house some individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in institutions and children in nursing homes.
We hope our elected leaders will work to fund additional community-based programs, ensuring that all Floridians are treated equally and able to live in the community, where they belong.

Suspicious behavior
I was recently shopping at Walmart in Sebring when approached by a man asking if the child in a wheelchair was mine.
I noticed her basket filled with groceries attached to the wheelchair. I attempted to talk to the little girl, asking where her mom was. She is about 3 years old, a special needs child, unable to give eye contact and no verbal response.
The man seemed concerned to find the mother. I said I would take her to customer service to contact the parent over the intercom. He said no, that he would do that. I was very uncomfortable about the whole situation and followed the man at a distance, as he didn't seem to be anxious to get the child to customer service.
He stopped at the deli and was talking to a lady there. I waited and eventually as I watched, the two of them went to a checkout.
At first I thought he was cutting through to customer service. I went to the checkout counter to be sure he was reporting the child. Much to my surprise he was removing groceries from the wheelchair basket. I said "What's going on?" He laughed and said it was a joke.
I was shocked and asked the lady if it was her child. She said yes. I was furious and attempted to confront him of the seriousness of child abductions and using your child as a joke.
He laughed and said "I do this all the time. I knew you were following me." As I continued to stress the seriousness of his joke, his demeanor changed to nasty.
I was so upset for that child and didn't think to do what I should have done.
That's the reason I'm writing this letter. So please, if he approaches you, go along, be sure to follow him and call security first chance you can without him seeing you. He would have a lot of explaining to do. His joke would backfire as his child would be unable to identify him. He needs to be stopped, using a beautiful helpless little girl as a joke. The child will be in my prayers.

Ankyrin repeat and kinase domain containing 1 (ANKK1) also known as protein kinase PKK2 or sugen kinase 288 (SgK288) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ANKK1 gene. The ANKK1 is a member of an extensive family of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and protein kinase superfamily involved in signal transduction pathways.
Clinical significance[edit]
This gene contains a single nucleotide polymorphism that causes an amino acid substitution within the 11th of 12 ankyrin repeats of ANKK1 (Glu713Lys of 765 residues). This polymorphism, which is commonly referred to Taq1A, was previously believed to be located in the promoter region of the DRD2 gene, since the polymorphism is proximal to the DRD2 gene and can influence DRD2 receptor expression.[3] It is now known to be located in the coding region of the ANKK1 gene which controls the synthesis of dopamine in the brain.[4] The A1 allele is associated with increased activity of striatal L-amino acid decarboxylase.[5]
A1+ allele[edit]
- Hepatitis C infection[6]
- Antisocial personality disorder[7]
- Borderline personality traits[citation needed]
- Dissocial personality disorder[8]
- Schizoid/avoidant behavior[9]
Given that the A1+ allele is associated with dissocial personality disorder, one may infer that the allele is also associated with narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder. However, these predictions have not yet been empirically verified.
A1+ genotype frequencies[edit]
European population estimates for A1+ genotype frequencies range from 20.8 to 43.4% (National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), identification number rs1800497).[10]
Addictive behaviors[edit]
The ANKK1 gene is closely linked to dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) on chromosome band 11q23.1.[11] The A1 allele of the Taq1A polymorphism (rs1800497T), is located ≈10kb downstream of the dopamine receptor DRD2 gene. Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter in the brain, which controls feeling of wellbeing. This sensation results from the interaction of dopamine and other neurotransmitters such as serotonin, the opioids, and other brain chemicals. Dopamine increases the motivation for food cravings and appetite mediation.[12]
This single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a mutation that actually occurs in the gene encoding for the kinase ANKK1, where it causes a non-conservative amino acid substitution often called a missense mutation. This type of mutation is not always deleterious, but experts have considered it somewhat ambiguous because it can be associated to variety of diseases. The DRD2/ANKK1-Taq1A polymorphism modulates the density of the DRD2 dopamine receptors. Carriers of the A1 allele have shown up to 30%[13] reduced receptors capacity, being the main reason why this lack of dopamine receptors predisposes individuals with this SNP mutation to seek for addictive behaviors or substances to compensate this deficiency in the dopaminergic system; such as binge eating (e.g. fat, refined carbohydrates, salt, caffeine, etc.), compulsive and impulsive behaviours (e.g. sexual activity, gambling and use of alcohol, drugs, opiates, tobacco etc.).[14]
The Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) involves the pleasures or reward mechanisms that rely on dopamine. The result of this deficiency is based on the genetic makeup; this helps explain how certain simple genetic anomalies can give rise to complex aberrant behaviours as the ones mentioned previously. The A1 allelic prevalence has been reported to be significantly higher in obese individuals that in lean subjects,[13] moreover, individuals with increased body mass index (BMI) (BMI >30 kg/m²) have fewer DRD2 dopamine receptors. Investigators have also suggested that hormonal mechanism may underline a gender difference in the ability to suppress hunger in relation to this SNP, which may contribute to the greater incidence of obesity in women compared to men.[15] However, authors have pointed out that A1 carriers have difficulty in learning from negative feedback in a reinforcement-learning task and are less efficient at learning to avoid actions that have negative consequences.

Corporations' Taxes Are Falling Even as Individuals' Burden Rises
By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON
Published: February 20, 2000
With incomes rising, particularly among the wealthy, Americans are paying a lot more in federal taxes than they did before the economic expansion of the last decade. Not so, American corporations. Their profits are growing even faster than Americans' incomes, yet the taxes they pay have peaked and have begun to fall.
The changes have been striking. Almost 15 cents of every dollar of income earned by Americans in 1997, the latest year for which figures are available, went to the Internal Revenue Service, up from 13 cents in 1990. By contrast, taxes paid by companies on profits reported to the I.R.S. fell to 20 cents on the dollar in 1997, from 26 cents on the dollar in 1990.
A number of factors explain why the corporate tax burden has fallen, from the legitimate use of various tax credits to the deduction of the cost of stock options exercised by employees. But the most troubling factor is the rapid spread of tax shelters, especially among large corporations, according not only to experts at the Treasury and I.R.S., but to some corporations and law firms that serve them.
Some of these tactics have been found to be illegal tax dodges. Others, many of them novel arrangements, have not been tested in the courts but are raising eyebrows.
''Corporate tax shelters are our No. 1 problem'' in enforcing the tax laws, Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers said in an interview, ''not just because they cost money but because they breed disrespect for the tax system.''
What particularly alarms I.R.S. and Treasury officials is what they call a growing willingness by prominent companies that are well known for guarding their public image to engage in the kind of tax avoidance tactics more characteristic of the most disreputable companies.
Among the companies that have been found to have engaged in what the courts called shams are Colgate-Palmolive, Compaq Computer and United Parcel Service. For example, the Tax Court found last year that U.P.S. engaged in a long-running sham to evade more than $1 billion in taxes.
''There is a race for the bottom,'' said Jonathan Talisman, acting deputy Treasury secretary for tax policy.
Compaq did not return calls seeking comment; Colgate-Palmolive declined to comment, and United Parcel Service, in a statement, said it was ''deeply offended'' that government officials ''would even begin to equate'' its tax case with evasion or impropriety.
The tactics have become widespread enough that even corporate tax lawyers are quietly alerting the I.R.S. about tax shelters they think cross the line from legitimate tax planning into illegal schemes. The New York State Bar Association's tax section, a leading organization of corporate tax lawyers, said last year that tax shelters were a growing problem and called for new legislation to combat them.
Such tax shelters differ from legitimate ones because they use accounting gimmicks intended solely to lower tax liabilities and have no legitimate business purpose. In one typical example, a company that owes taxes forms a partnership with a business, often one abroad, that for various reasons does not owe any taxes. The company then shifts its profits to the other business's books, reducing its own profits, and later takes back the money in ways that do not count as profits. Many big accounting firms and Wall Street investment houses help arrange such deals for a fee.
In one current case involving AlliedSignal, the big automotive and aerospace company that was acquired last year by Honeywell, a substantial tax bill was wiped out. In that deal, AlliedSignal sold its investment in a Texas petroleum company at a profit of more than $400 million. The company would have owed more than $140 million in taxes on the profit. But, following a plan devised by Merrill Lynch, the company shifted the profit to a partnership created with a Dutch bank. AlliedSignal later took back the profit from the partnership, untaxed, and even reported a $4 million profit from the investment in the partnership.
The Tax Court disallowed the deal as having no purpose other than avoiding taxes, and an appeals court upheld that decision this month. Honeywell said in a statement that its policy was to comply with all applicable tax laws and pay all taxes properly due.
Deals like this one, which are revealed by I.R.S. audits, have repeatedly been labeled illegitimate by the courts. But the I.R.S. may find fewer than one such deal in 10 and its auditing resources have been shrinking.
That apparently is emboldening some companies to play ''audit roulette,'' said Larry Langdon, commissioner of the I.R.S. large and midsize business division and former tax director at Hewlett-Packard.
Last year, the amount of income taxes paid by corporations fell 2.5 percent from 1998, government finance records show, while individual income tax revenue surged 6.2 percent.
The amount of taxes paid by individuals has been growing quickly in recent years, even faster than the growth in incomes, because more people are moving into higher tax brackets, where they pay in taxes a larger percentage of each extra dollar of income. (The top tax bracket is 39.6 percent.)
Individual incomes were 131 percent higher in 1997 than in 1990, while taxes were 164 percent higher.

New Hampton — They meant what they said and they're not taking it back.
Despite dozens of phone calls of denunciation — and a few of support — the pair of brothers who own New Hampton Lumber say they have no plans to remove the sign in front of the business that congratulates Al Qaeda and the Hasidic Village of Kiryas Joel for the results of last week's congressional elections.
The message, which has been on display since the day after Election Day, drew dozens of phone calls to Seth and Dennis Arluck after photos of it were posted on several blogs.
The sign was the product of Seth Arluck, a local Republican activist who volunteered for Rep. Sue Kelly's unsuccessful re-election campaign. Like many local politicos, he believes a last-minute endorsement by the bloc-voting Kiryas Joel carried Kelly's Democratic opponent John Hall to victory.
But the in-your-face response, along with the reference to Al Qaeda, infuriated many Hasidics who called to demand that the sign come down. Dennis Arluck, who said he didn't initially agree with his brother's method of rebuttal, now says he wants him to keep the sign up.
"I'm backing him on it, especially when people say I can't put out a sign expressing my views," Dennis Arluck said. "It's a free speech issue now."

Hours & Admissions
Museum Store
Adult Groups
Guided tours of new exhibitions and opportunities for collection-based programming are available during public hours, Tuesday to Saturday, 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Contact the Museum for information on group tour rates.
Curatorial Discussions
Specialized programs may be scheduled with the Museum's Collection and Curatorial staff. Historical objects available for viewing and discussion by the Curatorial staff include toys, dolls, silver, needlework, and firearms, as well as objects that reflect a particular period or event in Philadelphia history, such as the Gilded Age, women's history, and the Civil War. Email the Public Programs office or call 215.685.4836 for more information. Fees apply.
College Programs and Presentations
Local college and university classes, especially those focused on public history and museum studies, can learn firsthand from the Philadelphia History Museum staff about the opportunities and challenges of working in a history museum.
The Museum's senior staff will share its knowledge and expertise in all aspects of museum administration, from collection development and management to interpretive programming, including exhibitions and education. Museum Collection staff can work with faculty to develop object-based discussion related to specific aspects on Philadelphia history, or to provide students with a general introduction to the city or aspects of its history. Fees apply.
These presentations are available on- or off-site. For more information call 215.685.4836.
School & Children's Group Visits
Everybody loves a good story, especially children. Storytelling not only educates us and expands our sense of the world, but imparts a sense of wonder—never more so than when the stories are true.
The Philadelphia History Museum prides itself on making the city's rich past entertaining and relevant to children. Our programs are created and facilitated by experienced museum educators who engage students, share their enthusiasm for Philadelphia's history and when applicable, link this history with present-day issues.
The Museum's broad range of curriculum-based programs for elementary and secondary school students are aligned with state and national standards. See our Education pages for more information on Experience Philadelphia! and other curriculum-based programs and to explore the pre-visit materials available online.
The Philadelphia History Museum perfectly complements visits to nearby historical sites. For educators planning school trips, a visit to the Philadelphia History Museum provides lessons that serve as outstanding introductions for social studies units on Philadelphia and American History, language arts and science.
Planning a School Group Visit
Reservations are required for school and children's group visits to the Museum. Email email@example.com or call 215.685.4836 for details on the Museum's reopening as it relates to school and children's group visits.

Korea To Teens: No More Swearing On Smartphones
South Korea wants to make it harder for bullies to harass their schoolmates with instant-messaging services.
In July, the government will initiate an alert service that will notify parents when their child receives a text message containing inappropriate words. The Ministry of Education says South Korean kids today face increasing amounts of verbal abuse and cyberbullying. It added that those involved in school violence and the use of bad language will be "severely punished."
New types of abuse have surfaced as well, the ministry said. "Cyber imprisonment" describes a scenario where kids invite a target victim into a chat room and harass them. South Korea is one of the most wired countries in the world, and the ministry hinted that status has some side effects.
The government said the No. 1 means of abuse is foul language, according to students that have experienced school violence. The government surveyed about 4.5 million teens.
The Korea Communications Commission will be charged with developing and distributing the program by the end of June.

It's not the toughest trail you'll find in SoCal, but it just might be the prettiest. Enter this beloved La Jolla nature reserve and you'll be met with wildflowers, lush succulents and breathtaking beach views. If you're on the hunt for a sense of zen, try the mellower Guy Fleming Trail (a two-thirds-mile loop) or Razor Trail (a little over a mile); for a workout, hike three-fourths of a mile to the Beach Trail and tackle its steep stair climb.
Tip: Start early in the morning to avoid tourist crowds—and smile and say hello to the friendly locals.

A quick trip on the light rail gets you to this 30-mile trail forest-park in Northwest Portland's city limits. It's located within the largest wooded city park in the U.S., which means you'll find plenty of peace and quiet while you wind past a Japanese garden, traverse a creek, descend into an arboretum and peek through stately groves of redwoods and sequoias.
Tip: In-the-know hikers stop at nearby French bakery St. Honore on NW Thurman Street to refuel with yummy coffee and croissants.

With views stretching from the beach to downtown and the occasional celeb sighting, no trail feels more quintessentially La-La-Land than these two 2.5-3 mile roundtrip loops in the Hollywood Hills. The steep incline gets your ticker thumping, multiple lookouts give you plenty of time to appreciate the panorama and you can log a good five miles by tackling both sides of the canyon. (Keep an eye out for free yoga classes and bootcamps next to the Fuller entrance, too.)
Tip: Bring a pooch (or at least a pocket full of organic treats) to fit in with the neighbors.

Although it's part of Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, this 534-acre park feels worlds away. Rarely overcrowded, even on weekends, the expansive trails travel through tree-canopied hills before opening up to sprawling views of Puget Sound. Make your way down to the beach and—if you're with a date—steal a kiss by the lighthouse before heading home.
Tip: Bring layers, since the wind can be surprisingly chilly.

Minnehaha Creek joins the Mississippi River in this sprawling urban park just minutes from downtown, and the results are spectacular. Catch a bit of spray from the 53-foot falls, play with a pooch in the to-die-for dog park and cap off your woodsy five-mile hike by spending the afternoon with a book on a blanket.
Tip: In warm weather months enjoy local brews and oysters on the half-shell at Sea Salt, a local-favorite restaurant with tables along the trail's creek. Open April to October.

When they need a quick dose of nature, Chicagoans head to the 'burbs. This hilly, 78-mile nature preserve is studded with placid ponds and home to plenty of soft, wood chip-covered trails. But it's the 126-step limestone staircase at Swallow Cliff that attracts athletic hikers looking to feel the burn long after they've headed back home.
Tip: Don't mess with the pebbles along the staircase, which people use to keep track of laps.

Just beyond Silicon Valley's hoodie-clad startup scene, this 3,800-acre nature preserve plays host to 23 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. Whether you're looking to torch serious calories on an all-day hike or just unplug on a leisurely stroll, there's a path for every level. Bonus: You'll pass by a historic, working farm with baby animals, farm-fresh eggs and seasonal produce.
Tip: Head to the lesser-known Rhus Road entrance to avoid weekend crowds.
Karl Gohl
Keep an eye out for bald eagles as you hike just a sliver of the pre-Civil War-era Chesapeake & Ohio Canal's 185 miles of picturesque trails. You'll find multiple entrypoints, but locals recommend starting in Georgetown, then heading north toward Swain's Locks for a mostly flat hike with gorgeous views of the Potomac.
Tip: Take Billy Goat Trail A along the way for a challenging two-mile detour that requires scrambling over boulders.
Courtesy of Yelp
Bird-watchers flock to this 250-acre shoreside park in search of warblers, water thrushes and songbirds. Hikers head to the poetically named spot to put the city right where they want it: far enough away to feel like they've escaped but close enough for skyline views that remind them why love their bustling home. The moderate two-hour trail loop meanders along tree-lined carriage paths created by Central Park's Frederick Law Olmsted.
Tip: Bring extra-sturdy shoes in case you're tempted to go off the trails and explore the rocky coast.
Courtesy of R. Cheeks
Part of Philly's Fairmount Park system, this 1,800-acre natural paradise doesn't skimp on drama. Steep ravines and hilly inclines combined with wide, well-kept trails make it a jogger's paradise and a trout-filled creek lined with deciduous trees makes for blazing autumn leaf displays.
Tip: Be sure to buy a map at the trailhead to help you navigate the 50 miles of hiking paths.

Remembering a Radical
Julie Bindel remembers SAIC alumna Shulamith Firestone (BFA 1967)—a "Women's Liberationist Whose Radical Writings Where Ahead of Her Time"—in the November 13 edition of the Sydney Morning Herald. "Firestone was one of the early radical American women's liberationists who provided the theoretical foundation for the second wave of feminism," Bindel states, adding that Firestone's book The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution "contributed to a theory of women's oppression and male supremacy that is as relevant today as it was at the time of publication." As a student at SAIC, Firestone formed the Westside group—"the predecessor to Chicago Women's Liberation Union"—with feminist scholar, Jo Freeman. She later moved to New York where she co-founded the city's first women's liberation group, New York Radical Women, and published numerous papers and essays. In the early 1970s she abandoned politics to focus on painting, later publishing a book of short stories titled Airless Spaces. Firestone died on August 28 at the age of 67. She was also celebrated in an obituary published by the New York Time's on August 30.

Once teetering on the brink of state take over Campbell County High School appears to be not only meeting expectations but exceeding them.
At a recent meeting of the Southern Regional Education Board CCHS earned the title of High Schools That Work Pacesetter School.
While the SREB represents 1,200 sites across 30 states, CCHS is one of only 30 schools awarded the honor being called a pacesetter school.
A mother charged with abusing her daughter has accepted a plea instead of going to trial. In the agreement, Lindsay Norris acquiesced to testify against her co-defendant, David C. Thomas when he goes before a jury in January 2011.
The pair was arrested in January after Norris' 13-month-old daughter was found to have severe burns on her face and feet. The toddler also had bruises and cigarette burns on various parts of her body as well, police said.
Addiction seems to have a hold on the country and Campbell County is no exception.
The results of the ever increasing accessibility of drugs, both prescription and illegal, are brought to bear in the devastation of families, the destruction of individual lives and the skyrocketing crime rate.
But there is hope. Doug Hallock and Broken are proof of it. And they are coming with a message for Campbell County in the form of a free concert tonight at First Baptist Jacksboro.
A LaFollette man lost his life in a single car accident Monday morning on Interstate 75.
Daniel Podstawka, 28, was traveling north bound near mile marker 137 when his 1998 Ford Explorer was involved in the accident that killed him.
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Aaron Evans, Podstawka hydroplaned on the water soaked roadway.
The vehicle left the road and went into the median then struck the guardrail twice before overturning and coming to rest in the median.
A disturbance at a LaFollette apartment complex led to the arrest of one man last Friday.
LaFollette Police Officer Steve Wallen was called to Lindsay's Apartments on East Central Avenue where Thomas B. Martin, 27, of 111 East Central Avenue, Apartment 209, was reported to be very irate and allegedly high on some type of narcotic.
In his report, Wallen described Martin as "very hyper and unable to control his body movement."
Buying or selling drugs should generally be done inside a pharmacy not in its parking lot. So the report of a possible drug deal in the parking lot of the downtown Rigg's drug store did not bode well for a LaFollette woman.
When LaFollette Police Officer Coty Frazier arrived at the business he was able to locate a vehicle matching the description of one that was reportedly used in the alleged exchange.
The countdown to the first day of school is on. While this may cause wailing and gnashing of teeth for some area school children, staff at Wynn Elementary School are hoping for a different reaction.
In an effort to spark interest and showcase some improvements and additions to the facility, Principal Donna Singley and her staff are hosting an open house for students and families on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Addiction seems to have a hold on the country and Campbell County is no exception.
For the town of Caryville, the looming economic crisis is still a serious concern, which means promoting a part-time officer to full-time status is out of the question. But the discussion to promote a temporary employee led others to question how much longer the 32-hour workweek would continue.

DENVER (AP) -- Opponents of the death penalty are trying to persuade Gov. John Hickenlooper to grant clemency to death-row inmate Nathan Dunlap.
Records obtained by the Denver Post show Dunlap's attorneys and members of the public are hoping to sway Hickenlooper's decision because of possible signs that the governor's position on the issue has wavered. Hickenlooper has not said what he plans to do.
Dunlap killed four people at a Colorado Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993 and was sentenced to death.
He is Colorado's longest-serving death-row inmate, and could become the first inmate executed in the state since 1995 after the U.S. Supreme Court recently rejected his appeals.

NEW YORK -- Lou Reed was a pioneer for countless bands who didn't worry about hit singles.
Reed, who died Sunday at age 71, radically challenged rock's founding promise of good times and public celebration. As leader of the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist, he was the father of indie rock, and an ancestor of punk, New Wave and the alternative rock movements of the 1970s, '80s and beyond.
He influenced generations of musicians from David Bowie and R.E.M. to the Talking Heads and Sonic Youth.
"The first Velvet Underground record sold 30,000 copies in the first five years," Brian Eno, who produced albums by Talking Heads and others, once said. "I think everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band!"
Reed and the Velvet Underground opened rock music to the avant-garde. Raised on doo-wop and Carl Perkins, Delmore Schwartz and the Beats, Reed helped shape the punk ethos of raw power, the alternative rock ethos of irony and droning music and the art-rock embrace of experimentation.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to a recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008.
His trademarks were a monotone of surprising emotional range and power; slashing, grinding guitar; and lyrics that were complex yet conversational. He was a cynic and a seeker who seemed to embody downtown Manhattan culture of the 1960s and '70s and was as essential a New York artist as Martin Scorsese or Woody Allen.
He had one top-20 hit, "Walk On the Wild Side," and many other songs that became standards among his admirers, from "Heroin" and "Sweet Jane" to "Pale Blue Eyes" and "All Tomorrow's Parties."
An outlaw in his early years, Reed would eventually have his writing published in The New Yorker, be featured by PBS in an "American Masters" documentary and win a Grammy in 1999 for Best Long Form Music Video. The Velvet Underground was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame in 1996 and their landmark debut album, "The Velvet Underground & Nico," was added to the Library of Congress' registry in 2006.
Reed grew up middle class -- an accountant's son raised on Long Island. He was born to be a dropout. He hated school, loved rock 'n' roll, fought with his parents and attacked them in song for forcing him to undergo electroshock therapy as a supposed "cure" for being bisexual.
Reed moved to New York City after attending Syracuse University and traveled in the pop and art worlds, working as a house songwriter at the low-budget Pickwick Records and putting in late hours in downtown clubs. Fellow studio musicians included a Welsh-born viola player, John Cale.
They were joined by a friend of Reed's from Syracuse, guitarist-bassist Sterling Morrison; and by an acquaintance of Morrison's, drummer Maureen Tucker. They renamed themselves the Velvet Underground after a Michael Leigh book about the sexual subculture. By the mid-1960s, they were rehearsing at Andy Warhol's "Factory," a meeting ground of art, music, orgies, drug parties and screen tests for films that ended up being projected onto the band while it performed.
Reed made just four albums with the Velvet Underground before leaving in 1970. His albums in the '70s were alternately praised as daring experiments or mocked as embarrassing failures. But in the 1980s, he kicked drugs and released a series of acclaimed albums, including "The Blue Mask," "Legendary Hearts" and "New Sensations."
He continued to receive strong reviews in the 1990s and after for such albums as "Set the Twilight Reeling." And "Ecstasy" and he continued to test new ground, whether a 2002 concept album about Edgar Allan Poe, "The Raven," or a 2011 collaboration with Metallica, "Lulu."

Government officials can no longer enjoy the luxury of switching jobs for short periods. The department of public sector enterprises (DPE) has issued policy directions to disallow deputation of government officers to all posts, board level or otherwise, in PSEs.
