The Kindle Fire HD does contain a front-facing camera, but it is designed mainly for use with video call services such as Skype. You can take still shots if you have the latest software updates. However, this feature has some significant physical limitations.
Step 1
Check you have the latest edition of the operating system software. Swipe down from the top of the Kindle Fire HD's screen and tap "More" followed by "Device" and then "About." You must have version 7.2.2, released in December 2012, or later to use the camera for still pictures. In most cases you should have got this through an automatic over-the-air update.
Step 2
Download the latest software if needed. Swipe down from the top of the device's screen and then tap on "Sync." The update should automatically download and then install the next time your device is in sleep mode.
Step 3
Tap "Photos" on the home screen. Tap the camera icon at the top right of the screen. Move the camera to line up your shot. Tap the shutter icon at the bottom left of the screen to take the shot.
Step 4
Tap the "Options" bar at the bottom of the screen if you want to e-mail the photo to somebody else or if you want to delete the image.
- These instructions apply to both the original seven-inch model and the later and larger Kindle Fire HD 8.9".
- Until the 7.2.2. update, you could only access the camera for stills use by installing a third-party application. This application allowed you to access features that were powered by files in the Kindle Fire HD operating system but were not made available to users by default. Since the 7.2.2 update, using third-party applications to enable stills shots is no longer necessary.
- Because the Kindle Fire HD camera is front-facing (meaning it faces in the same direction as the screen), it is extremely limited as a stills camera. When holding the device to point the camera away from you and towards the subject of the photograph. you cannot easily see the screen. This makes it difficult to check your subject is both in shot and in focus. It is also hard to even take a shot, as this relies on tapping on-screen icons rather than pressing a physical button. For this reason, the camera is only really practical for taking pictures of yourself.

- San Jose: Missing person case comes to tragic end when family finds him stabbed to death
SAN JOSE -- A woman accused of killing and concealing the body of a San Jose man has a nearly three-decade litany of criminal convictions covering prostitution, theft and assault, and actually pleaded guilty to a theft charge during the time the victim lay buried in house clutter, undetected for a month.
Regina Louise Butler, 46, was arraigned in a San Jose courtroom Monday but did not enter a plea, and is scheduled to return to court March 25 with an attorney from the Santa Clara County Office of the Public Defender.
Butler is facing a murder charge in the killing of Stanley Jacobson, a 69-year-old San Jose man and resident of the Hilltop Manor retirement community. He was found stabbed to death in his apartment Thursday, after being hidden for a month underneath a pile of bedding.
The discovery was surprising in that police, relatives and neighbors did not notice the presence of Jacobson's body within what police described as the clutter of his apartment. When he was reported missing Feb. 18 -- about two weeks after his last sighting -- relatives told police that Jacobson might have been experiencing the onset of dementia.
Butler appeared in court Feb. 13 to plead guilty to a theft charge, a week after Jacobson was last heard from and when police now believe he was killed. Court records show she has 14 criminal convictions going back to 1986, several involving loitering with intent to commit prostitution, along with theft, forgery, drug possession, auto theft and assault with a deadly weapon. Five of those convictions were handed down in jury trials.
When police publicized Jacobson's disappearance, they noted he might be with Butler, with whom he had recently become romantically involved, according to neighbors at Hilltop Manor. In the weeks leading up to his death, the man the community knew as "The Magician" -- thanks to his deft magic tricks and handcuff-escape acts -- had become more reclusive and withdrawn as he spent more time with the woman now accused of killing him.
An alert neighbor spotted Butler on the grounds Thursday and contacted Jacobson's granddaughter, who engaged Butler long enough to allow police to arrive. During her efforts to keep Butler around, she uncovered her grandfather's body. Police claimed the amount of bedding and rubbish concealing Jacobson was enough to mask the odor of decomposition.
Clad in the red Santa Clara County Jail jumpsuit reserved for murder defendants, Butler stood stoic during the brief Monday arraignment before being led back to custody, where she is being held without bail.

Definition of luff in English:
The edge of a fore-and-aft sail next to the mast or stay.
Example sentences
- Nonchalant references to booms and jibs and kites and cleats and luffs and lees and heeling and tacking and pointing high can leave the nautical ingénue helpless in a riptide of argot.
verb[with object]
1Steer (a sailing vessel) nearer the wind to the point at which the sails just begin to flap: I came aft and luffed her for the open sea
More example sentences
- If it's a sailboat, luff it up into the wind and drift to a complete stop, then allow it to sail backwards - a boat-length is long enough to appease the spirits.
Middle English: from Old French lof, probably from Low German.
aloof from mid 16th century:
Aloof was originally a nautical term for an order to steer a ship as close as possible towards the wind. It literally means 'to windward', loof (or luff (Late Middle English)) being an old term meaning 'windward direction'. The idea was that keeping the bow of the ship close to the wind kept it clear of the shore.

Polish Industrial Output Soars in January
Poland's industrial output slowed somewhat in January, but stayed in double figures. Output in January rose 10.3% on the year earlier compared with a revised 11.4% increase in December, the Central Statistical Office said Friday.
The reading was above the average forecast of a 9.4% rise in a survey of 10 bank economists.
Seasonally adjusted output grew 8.4% on the year in January compared with a 11.5% annual increase in December.
Polish producer prices rose at an annual rate of 6.2% in January, which was slightly below the expected 6.3% increase but was unchanged from the revised figure for December.
The figures support the view—already supported by the January consumer price inflation at 3.8% on the year—that Poland's monetary tightening will continue when rate setters meet next month.
Poland's January industrial output rise combined with a strong growth of producer prices, as well as CPI and labor market data, support the view that the Monetary Policy Council will raise policy rates in March, Bank BPH says. The bank expects the rates to increase by 0.25 percentage points to 4.00%.
Poland's MPC may need to raise interest rates sooner than it has signaled so far, as robust industrial production data show economic recovery is well under way, says Rafal Benecki, senior economist at ING in Warsaw.
Poland's economic "recovery is on track", says Ernest Pytlarczyk, chief economist at BRE Bank in Warsaw. "This suggests that Poland's Monetary Policy Council is very likely to raise rates in March," he says, putting the likelihood of a March rate increase at 80%.
BRE Bank expects the key interest rates to rise to 4.25% or 4.5% by the end of 2011, from 3.75% now.

Familiar Pack I$7.99A pack of seven little pets for your heroic scale (25mm) miniatures. This pack includes animals you'd commonly find at a witches' coven, or at your local pet store: cat, hawk, ferret, wolf, bat, cat, and—what's this?—a faerie dragon. He must have sneaked in at the last minute.
In any case, this pack of animal familiars will instantly boost the street cred of your miniatures. It's a well-known fact that the ladies can't resist a man with a hawk. Learn More
Weapons Pack II$6.99An unpainted, heroic scale (25mm) miniature figurine accessory kit for adventure gaming. Learn More
Dancing Girls$7.99
It's a tired old cliché that every RPG campaign begins in a tavern. It's like some kind of joke: "A wizard, a rogue, and a barbarian walk into a bar..." Here at Game Master Dice, we're not going to deny this simple truth, but rather embrace and enhance it. Imagine how much more epic your campaign would be if your characters started out not just in a tavern, but—wait for it—in a tavern with dancing girls.

Or, if that's not your cup of Dwarven mead, you could use these two scantily-clad figurines to populate the luxurious and seedy secret lair of the King of the Thieves' Guild. Or you could use up a couple of your cohort slots to make the trek to Mt. Doom a little more bearable. Either way, this is a great way to be charitable and help these two pewter figurines pay for college.

Lorna The Huntress$4.99Yeah. If ever there were a more confident pose, Lorna the Huntress would like to know about it. So she can punch it in the face.
This mighty warrioress doesn't take lip from anybody. In one hand she holds a broadsword, perhaps dripping with blood from her latest conquest. Her other hand is clenched into a fist in a way that says "Who's your daddy?"
Not only is she in the baddest stance ever, but she's able to kill bad guys while wearing little more than a loincloth. Now that's prowess.
An unpainted, heroic scale (25mm) miniature figurine for adventure gaming. Learn More

Georgia Piedmont receives Significant Gift from Honda
8/7/2013, 11:09 a.m.
"This contribution from American Honda Motor Company is a tremendous gift that affords our students in the Motorcycle Service Technology program an exceptional development of skills and knowledge that's crucial to their success in the motorcycle repair industry," stated Dr. Simama. "These kinds of donations are critical to our ability to endow our students with the caliber of training and skills necessary to sustain a productive workforce now and in the future. We cannot thank American Honda enough for selecting Georgia Piedmont as the benefactor of their generosity."
Recognizing the value and necessity of developing a technically-skilled workforce to maintain its products, American Honda has been a long-time supporter of Georgia Piedmont.
Prior to this gift, Honda and other motorcycle manufacturers have given Georgia Piedmont bikes and curriculum materials. This is the first time, however, that the college has received a large number of the same kind of bike at one time. "This is great!" states Mike Sachs, head of the college's program. "Being able to write some lessons around these bikes, with all the students doing the same thing at the same time is going to be a treat, especially for my beginning students." Mr. Sachs says his students will first perform maintenance and repairs on the bikes and then completely disassemble them and use the bike's components for overhaul training.
Collectively valued at more than $6,000, the motorcycles arrived on Georgia Piedmont's Clarkston campus earlier this summer. The bikes are CB125T's; a model of bike never sold in the United States and was previously used at Honda sponsored rider training programs. Because the bikes are being retired and replaced with a more current model, students have a unique opportunity to compare the technological and mechanical differences found in domestic and international models of the company's products, identify modifications between former and current models as well as study variances between retail and non-retail, training bikes.
Georgia Piedmont's Motorcycle Service Technology Program is a one year sequence of classes that prepares students for positions in the motorcycle repair industry. The program emphasizes a combination of mechanical theory and practical experience. It includes classes in basic skills, maintenance, engines, chassis systems, electrical systems, fuel systems, as well as an internship experience.

A search committee of the Vermont state Board of Education has picked three finalists for the next secretary of education.
The panel will make its recommendations to the full board Aug. 20.
Board Chairman Stephan Morse won't reveal who the finalists were. He says they were selected from about 20 to 25 candidates in a national search.
Education Secretary Armando Vilaseca was appointed to the job in January for a year.
Vilaseca had said when he was hired as education commissioner more than four years ago that he wanted to spend about five years in state government.

Writing in his always-entertaining blog a few weeks ago, Whitney Tilson gave a nice nod to Dan Willingham's New York Times op-ed addressing the sorry state of American teacher preparation. Amid effusive praise of the piece, Whitney writes, "I think morphemes and phonemes matter too but maybe not as much as Willingham does." This gently stated but dismissive view of the importance of reading instruction troubles me because I think it captures a viewpoint widely shared by many education reformers. I don't think it's because there are many education reformers who reject the science here (unlike many in teacher preparation). Researchers long ago identified the reading methods that would reduce the current deplorable rate of reading failure from 30 percent to somewhere well south of 10 percent, if only schools would take that step. Teacher preparation programs that fail to impress upon elementary teacher candidates the integral connection between spoken sounds and written words are essentially committing malpractice. Instead, I think the issue for some education reformers is that other reforms seem much more important. I can't figure out why there are still perfectly reasonable, rational people who aren't willing to embrace the 2 + 2...
"The problem in American education is not dumb teachers. The problem is dumb teacher training," University of Virginia cognitive scientist Dan Willingham recently wrote in the New York Times. Indeed, if there's any part of the education pipeline that's ripe for retooling, it's the way we prepare teachers. Complaints are legion, long-standing, and not unique to policy wonks. Teachers themselves routinely bemoan how poorly prepared their training left them for the realities of classroom life. Fewer than half of new teachers described their training as "very good" in a 2012 survey by the American Federation of Teachers, while one in three new teachers reported feeling unprepared on his first day.
Thus, it can only be viewed as a great good thing that two dozen deans of education schools have come together under the banner of "Deans for Impact" and committed themselves to a common set of principles, including data-driven improvement, common outcome measures, empirical validation of teacher preparation methods, and accountability for student learning. They're also persuading other teacher preparation programs to do the same.
At a Tuesday event at the National Press Club, the group unveiled a ...
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan deserves the many plaudits he received on Friday from President Obama and his friends in the reform community—and even from his sometime-foes in the teachers' unions. As everyone remarked, he's a good and decent man, a fighter for disadvantaged kids who's passionate about his work and loyal to his team. That was certainly my personal experience with him; he was more gracious toward me than I probably deserved, considering the many swipes I've taken at his policy decisions over the years.
So please bear with me one more time: Even at this moment of celebration, congratulation, and reflection regarding Arne's time at the helm, the Obama administration can't seem to help itself. It almost seems determined to poison the well with Congress and play to the stereotype of a government unwilling to abide by constitutional limits.
I'm referring, of course, to the decision to appoint John King (another smart, committed reformer and all-around great guy) as "acting" education secretary for an entire year rather than putting him through the Senate confirmation process.
It's certainly true that the confirmation process has slowed to an agonizing pace over the past few decades. And the Bush 43 administration also opted...
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the average American lived to be about 50 years old. One hundred years later, nearly three decades have been added to that lifespan, due in no small part to advances in public health: immunization and control of infectious disease, safer and healthier food, motor vehicle safety, fluoridation of drinking water, and recognizing the dangers of tobacco use.
Public health's watershed advances occur in part because public policy and awareness are intertwined with medical practice and research, mutually reinforcing one another. Research teaches us about the ill effects of smoking; doctors discourage their patients from smoking; policymakers raise taxes on cigarettes, pass laws curtailing who can buy and sell them and where people are allowed to light up. Eventually the combined forces become overwhelming. The habit is seen as dangerous, expensive, and socially unacceptable. Fewer Americans purchase cigarettes, and even those who do become reluctant to expose their children to tobacco smoke. Behavior changes. Quality of life improves.
American education has enjoyed no such golden era, largely because education force multipliers too seldom act in concert. Those who work in education research, policy, and practice frequently fail to communicate with one another, and when...
A great problem in U.S. education is that gifted students are rarely pushed to achieve their full potential. It is no secret that American students overall lag their international peers. Among the thirty-four countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development whose students took the PISA exams in 2012, the United States ranked seventeenth in reading, twentieth in science, and twenty-seventh in math.
Less well known is how few young Americans—particularly the poor and minorities—reach the top ranks on such measures. The PISA test breaks students into six levels of math literacy, and only 9 percent of American fifteen-year-olds reached the top two tiers. Compare that with 16 percent in Canada, 17 percent in Germany, and 40 percent in Singapore.
Among the handful of American high-achievers, eight times as many kids come from the top socioeconomic quartile as from the bottom. That ratio is four to one in Canada, five to one in Australia, and three to one in Singapore.
What has gone wrong? Thanks to No Child Left Behind and its antecedents, U.S. education policy for decades has focused on boosting weak students to minimum proficiency while neglecting the children who have already cleared that low bar. When...
What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all its children. – John Dewey
The intuitive appeal of this oft-quoted maxim is obvious. It speaks to the conviction that all of the children in a community or a country are "our kids" and that we should want the very best for them just as we do for our own flesh and blood.
Taken literally, however, it is also problematic, for it equates "sameness" with "equity." That's an error in part because what "the best and wisest parents" want varies—some seek traditional schools, others favor progressive ones, etc.
But it's also a mistake because children's needs vary. Kids growing up in poverty and fragile families, and dysfunctional communities need a whole lot more than kids living with affluence and stability. And when it comes to their schools, poor kids may need something a whole lot different. That's why I'm a big fan of No Excuses charter schools, which are showing great promise for low-income children—even if they might not be a good fit for many of their upper-middle class peers.
The sweetest and shiniest word in the progressive lexicon is "universal." It connotes equity, equality, and above all fairness. As a practical matter, however, these lofty ideals are undermined when we give everyone the same even if some need more. This is a truth universally acknowledged.
It also seems lost upon New York City's uber-progressive mayor, Bill de Blasio, who seems oddly determined at times to make worse, not better, the "Tale of Two Cities" dichotomy between rich and poor New York that he rode into office two years ago.
The second year of de Blasio's signature education initiative, a $300 million program to provide free, full-time pre-K to all New Yorkers, began this fall with troubling data suggesting that it is badly misfiring. Using census data and information from the mayor's office, Bruce Fuller—a professor of education and public policy at University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley!)— estimates that there are 103,000 four-year-olds eligible for the program. In many instances, however, those who need it most are not being reached.
Children from low-income homes make up the largest share of program participants, accounting for roughly one-third of the sixty-five thousand registrations. But Fuller calculates that more than twelve thousand...
There were many routes to the podium at last week's Republican presidential debate. Even with Rick Perry's withdrawal from the race, the primary field is the largest in a century, and every candidate has taken his own path to the bright lights. Donald Trump has been carried along by his immense personal charm. Carly Fiorina leveraged her initial success among the mop-up squad to change the inclusion rules and gain a place at the top of the polls. Scott Walker got in…well, for reasons no one can quite remember now, but he'll be damned if he's heading back to the Great Madison Brat Fest with anything less than a VP berth in tow.
So with a slate of eleven(!) competitors and a run time that made The English Patient look like a particularly spritely episode of Glee, how was it that education never got an invitation to the party? While Jeb Bush was busily defending his brother's national security record and Fiorina was helping Trump to a yuge slice of humble pie, we Fordhamites were left waiting for someone to mention the fifty million American kids just starting their school year. And...
Remember all those pitched battles and screaming matches over Common Core? The furious charges of federal overreach? The demands to "repeal every word" of it? As children return to school across the country this week, Common Core remains largely intact in more than forty states. At the same time, new evidence suggests that the much tougher Common Core challenges—the ones emanating from inside classrooms—have only just begun.
Results from the initial round of Common Core-aligned tests (administered last spring) have been trickling out for the past few weeks in more than a dozen states. The results have been sobering, but not unexpected. Recall that the No Child Left Behind years were an era of rampant grade inflation. States whose students performed poorly on the benchmark National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) routinely rated the vast majority of their students on or above grade level, simply because states were allowed to set their own bar for success and thus had a perverse incentive to declare ever-greater numbers of kids proficient. The result was a comforting illusion of student competence that was shattered when "proficient" kids got to college and needed remediation,...
Between 2010 and 2012, more than forty states adopted the Common Core standards in reading and math, setting dramatically higher expectations for students in our elementary and secondary schools. Now comes a critical milestone in this effort. In the coming weeks, parents in most states will receive for the first time their children's scores on new tests aligned to the standards. The news is expected to be sobering, and it may come as a shock for many. Parents shouldn't shoot the messenger.
It is important to remember why so many states started down this path in the first place. Under federal law, every state must test children each year in grades 3–8 to ensure they are making progress. That's a good idea. Parents deserve to know if their kids are learning, and taxpayers are entitled to know if the money we spend on schools is being used wisely.
But it is left to states to define what it means to be "proficient" in math and reading. Unfortunately, most states have historically set a very low bar (often called "juking the stats"). The result was a comforting illusion that most...

Ex-Saints TE Shockey settles tax credits claims
Former New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey has reached a settlement with a former teammate he sued over a bogus investment deal.
A court filing Monday says Shockey and former Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs both resolved their claims against former Saints long snapper Kevin Houser. Terms were confidential.
Several teammates and coaches sued Houser for allegedly advising them to invest roughly $1.9 million to buy nonexistent tax credits from a defunct movie studio.
Saints head coach Sean Payton reached a separate settlement with Houser last month. Former Saints defensive end Charles Grant still has claims pending against Houser that are scheduled to be tried later this month.
Wayne Read, who once ran Louisiana Film Studios LLC, is the only person to face criminal charges over the investment deal.

Piaggio has launched the Gilera Fuocu 500ie, a three-wheeled unit that's based on the previously released Piaggio MP3. The MP3 is available in the United States; the Fuocu 500ie is available only in Europe at the present time.
The three-wheeled concept is intriguing and offers an exciting ride, according to those who have tested the vehicle. A few of the Fuocu's uses outlined in the press materials we received from the manufacturer were a bit surprising: Piaggio says the Fuocu "takes all kinds of terrain in its stride." The materials show the vehicle traveling along rock-strewn Alpine passes.

Bunzel Calculating Machine
- Description
- This stepped drum, manually operated non-printing calculating machine has a brass and steel mechanism that fits snugly in a wooden case. Each of the seven levers for setting digits has a stepped drum below it. The brass plate that covers the drums is painted black. Slits in the plate allow the levers and other parts to move. The edges of the slits next to digit levers are numbered from 0 to 9 to indicate the number entered. An ADD. MULT. / SUB. DIV. lever is left of the digit levers. A compartment covered by a slate is left of this. The operating crank is right of the levers.
- The carriage behind the levers has seven windows for the revolution counter register, and 12 windows for the result register. It can be placed at seven different positions. A mark on the cover plate assists in positioning the carriage. Holes for decimal markers are between the levers and between the holes of the registers, as well as sliding decimal markers for the result register. Thumbscrews allow one to set numbers in the registers. Zeroing levers for these registers on the right of the carriage may be operated jointly or individually. The case has two legs that may be used to set it at an angle, as well as a lock and key.
- A mark to the left of the levers reads: BUNZEL (/) TRADE DELTON MARK. Left of this is the mark: FACTORY VIENNA. The serial number, on the edge of the case at the back, is 5310.
- Hugo Bunzel, a calligraphy teacher and former painter in Prague, designed the machine, which was introduced in 1908 and produced through 1915. It was manufactured in Vienna. This example is from the collection of Felt & Tarrant Manufacturing Company.

Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

OAKLAND — Felicia Stevens wasn't surprised when she saw that Lovelle Mixon was named as the suspect who shot five police officers Saturday afternoon.
Stevens believes Mixon killed her brother in 2007.
"Somebody that was there, who saw it, told me," she said Sunday. "My brother turned to walk away from an argument and Lovelle shot him two times."
Oakland police Sgt. Lou Cruz, who is one of the investigators of the Saturday shooting, confirmed Sunday that Mixon was a "person of interest" in the slaying of Ramon Stevens, 42, who was found dead near the corner of 86th Avenue and International Boulevard on Dec. 30, 2007. Cruz said, however, that police could never gather enough evidence to charge Mixon with murder.
"There is no direct evidence that Mixon committed that crime, the murder of Ramon Stevens," Cruz said. "There is nobody saying, 'I saw Lovelle Mixon shoot Ramon Stevens.' Not one witness."
The slaying occurred two months after Mixon was released from prison after serving a five-year sentence for assault with a firearm, for a carjacking in San Francisco. Mixon was released in October 2007 from the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility.
Felicia Stevens said the failure to solve the case had left her frustrated.
Stevens, whose nephew is Mixon's cousin, said she talked with Oakland police after her brother was killed. She knew one witness who saw the shooting but refused to speak with police for fear of retribution from Mixon, she said.
She said she told police that her brother owed Mixon $30 for what she suspected were drugs and that she heard Mixon was the killer.
"They told me, they couldn't just go and arrest him," she said.
Although police could not gather enough evidence to prove Mixon killed Stevens, he was sent back to prison for violating his parole. Mixon was found to have committed five parole violations, including possession of drug paraphernalia, identification theft, forgery, attempted grand theft and receiving stolen property.
Mixon was arrested Feb. 5, 2008, and sent back to prison Feb. 26, 2008, for nine months.
When Mixon was released in November, his family said Sunday, he had learned his lesson.
He planned to do better, family members said, and he wanted to meet the requirements mandated by his second term on parole.
The only problem was that he did not know how.
"He didn't know really where to start," said Mixon's wife, Amara Langston, 25. "He was trying to make himself a better person and trying to realize his mistakes and what he was doing was wrong."
Mixon tried to abide by the terms of his parole, family members said, but continued to encounter obstacles.
His parole officer failed to attend a scheduled meeting, family members said. He couldn't find a job. He was depressed.
"He wasn't being treated right and wanted to get rehabilitated and find a job," said Mixon's uncle, Curtis Mixon.
Lovelle Mixon was on his cell phone with his uncle, talking about his new burgundy Buick with 22-inch rims, when he was pulled over by two motorcycle officers.
His uncle, who did not know his nephew was carrying weapons, never heard from him again.
Just three months after being released from prison, Mixon skipped a meeting with his parole officer in February, immediately resulting in a no-bail warrant for his arrest.
Mixon was ready to go back to prison, said his grandmother, Mary Mixon, if only to get a new parole officer upon his release.
But when he was stopped Saturday afternoon, Mixon apparently decided prison was not where he wanted to be. He shot at the officers, police said. Mixon tried to hide in his sister's apartment and shot three more officers, killing two, as they tried to arrest him.

When the Jesuit theologians who had been summoned to assist the Council of Trent with its work left Rome, they carried with them instructions from Saint Ignatius that during their stay in the city they were to find work in hospitals and in teaching catechism to children and the unlettered.
Ignatius believed that for their learning to be of genuine service to the Church, it had to be grounded in ministry to the poor and broken.
Ignatian service is most itself when it consists of humble practices of leadership rom below, and when it is expressed in learned ministry that is attentive to the whole person and the whole context. It is always open to new actions that transform the present situation into a truer reflection of the Reign of God.

"This was great for guests and had a traditional touch that our guests appreciated. Folks shared cocktail recipes, too, which is also a fun treat. A very thoughtful touch for the bride and lots of fun for guests. Highly recommend!"
"The colors were gorgeous and feminine and the card stock was very nice and sturdy. This is the kind of game that appealed to all ages. We tested this game at a shower with both young and mature ladies and everyone loved it!"
"This was a terrific game to incorporate during the presentation of presents. Our guests loved it. The paper couldn't have been prettier. The colors are gorgeous and the card stock was sturdy."
"These were a huge hit at the bridal shower! I ordered the whole set (recipe, bingo and purse cards) and got SO many compliments. The weight and quality of the paper is excellent. The design elements were crisp, clean and colorful -- perfectly suited to the aesthetic of the bride-to-be. I felt guilty taking credit because they're not new or original games, but I tweaked it or personalized just enough to make it our own and really, really FUN. Highly recommend these to anyone in need of game-spiration."
"I bought these advice cards as a substitute for a guest book at my BFF's bridal shower. I wanted something where the women could write a little something to the bride "giving advice" about marriage. Everyone absolutely LOVED them! The design matched perfectly with her style and theme of the shower. The only thing I would complain about was the price. They were a little on the expensive side, but you get the quality for the price! I will continue ordering from Wedding Paper Divas for my own wedding!"

Thousands suffering in Ireland made the journey across the Atlantic to America, and for those who landed in New York, the southern tip of Manhattan was among their first sights to behold upon arrival. That is the site of the Irish Hunger Memorial, designed by artist Brian Tolle, which contains stones from each of the 32 counties of Ireland in its half-acre. From the western end of the memorial, visitors climb the man-made hill to its peak 25 feet above the Battery Park City sidewalks and are treated to a view of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, appropriate given their emblematic significance to the American immigration story.
The eastern end of the memorial is a sloping path that coaxes visitors to follow to a ruined roofless cottage. The cottage, an authentic ruin brought from County Mayo, is a tribute to those who were evicted and others who abandoned their homes in an effort to survive.
Along the base of the elevated memorial and through the center passageway are bands of texts separated by layers of limestone. The limestone, imported from Kilkenny, is more than 300 million years old, containing fossils from the Irish seabed. The text, nearly two miles long, tells the history of the Irish Famine. Illuminated by backlight, the text consists of quotations from autobiographies, letters, oral traditions, songs, reports, poems, recipes and statistics that pertain not only to the Irish Famine but also chronicle epidemics of hunger throughout the world.
Manhattan is also home to a sculpture designed by John Behan titled "Arrival," which was given to the United Nations by the Irish government. The sculpture depicts a ghostly coffin ship and was unveiled in November 2000. A similar sculpture entitled "Coffin Ship" by the same artist was erected at the foot of Croagh Patrick in County Mayo in 1997.
The Western New York Irish Famine Memorial is located in Buffalo, with views of the old Erie Canal. Dedicated in 1997, the memorial is flanked by 32 boulders, one for each Irish county, that form the outer ring, and standing off center is a massive granite stone from Carraroe, County Galway. Its position represents the Irish Diaspora and it stands surrounded by inscriptions of names of Famine victims.
Boston is home to two very different structures which honor the memories of Famine victims who flooded into the New England harbors in the 19th century. The Boston Famine Memorial located along the famous Freedom Trail in downtown Boston at the corner of Washington and School Streets, features sculptures of a family of immigrants arriving in Boston and another leaving the shores of Ireland. The figures, with torn clothes and sunken faces, allow visitors a glimpse into artist Robert Shure's vision of the complexity of that impoverished struggle combined with the determination for a better life.
The second memorial is on a peninsula in Boston Harbor known as Deer Island and paints a somber picture of Famine victims. In 1847 Deer Island was the site of a Quarantine hospital and later in 1850 an almshouse was built. Many Famine victims tragically died there after their long journeys. The Rest Haven Cemetery here contains graves of hundreds who didn't make it.
The Irish Famine Monument in Cambridge depicts the separation of families, showing a mother seated holding a small child and the father feet away holding another child. Each reaches out to the other on a stone platform on which is inscribed the phrase, "Never again should a people starve in a world of plenty." The monument, located in the heart of the Cambridge Commons, just west of Harvard University was designed by Maurice Harrow and Derry Ireland, and was dedicated by President Mary Robinson in July of 1997.
In Chicago's Gaelic Park, the Irish Famine Memorial Monument stands near the park's main building. Commissioned and paid for by Gaelic Park the giant statue depicts an Irish family, their home from which they were evicted burning behind them. Headstones in the background are emblematic of those whose lives were lost. On the opposite side of the burning home is an infamous "coffin ship," the option many took to sail away from their homeland to North America, hundreds of whom eventually settled in Chicago. The memorial monument was designed by Fr. Anthony Brankin, a Chicago parish pastor.
Commemorating the 150-year anniversary of the Famine, a monument in the form of a massive stone was erected in downtown Cleveland. The stone with images of a mother and two children at its base is engraved with the words, "Cleveland Remembers The Great Hunger." A paragraph inscription tells of the depopulation in Ireland, the suffering of the Irish people as well as the way Cleveland's culture was enriched by those who made their way from the Famine-torn shores to the American city.
New Jersey
On the courthouse lawn in Hackensack, New Jersey is a small stone with a plaque commemorating the Great Hunger. Surrounded by bushes and close by monuments which hold the memories of the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide, it is an understated monument, part of a series on the lawn which honors the sacrifice of many ethnicities and celebrates what their descendants have contributed to the northern New Jersey communities.

Wow. Seven goals conceded in two games. That's the week that was for U.S. national team goalie Kasey Keller.
Wednesday's 4-1 loss by the U.S. to Germany in Dortmund was tough enough. That was followed by today's 3-0 defeat by FC Kaiserslautern of Keller's Bundesliga club Borussia.
Life as a goalie can be cruel sometimes. As a member of a largely B team for the U.S. on Wednesday and a struggling Borussia side on Sunday, it's not all on the Borussia goalie. Either way, it was a forgettable week for the U.S. veteran to have to pick the ball out of the net on seven occasions.
Borussia (10th of 18 teams) is trying to stay out of the Bundesliga's lower half while the U.S. will look to regroup after the dismal display in Wednesday's international friendly.
