SALEM - Despite rumors to the contrary, no one is in custody in connection to the death of Melinda Todd, 43, and her 5-year-old grandson, Cole Reed, both of whom were found in their Salem Township home Monday afternoon.
Although reports were circulating over the weekend that a man had been arrested, Sheriff Ray Stone said Sunday that is untrue.
"No one is in custody. We brought people in Friday and questioned them. No one's been arrested," Stone said.
Some people have already been eliminated as suspects, including the child's father, who was in jail when his son was shot in the head. The alibis of Todd's boyfriend and another friend also checked out, according to Stone earlier in the week.
County Prosecutor Robert Herron had said Wednesday there was a person of interest being investigated and said tips being received have been paying off. He has encouraged anyone who has information on the case to come forward.
Stone said the investigation is continuing and that he had received an update Sunday but that he did not expect anyone to be arrested that day.
Todd was found dead at the scene, although her cause of death has not yet been divulged, and Reed was found critically injured from a gunshot to the side of his head. He has since regained consciousness and has reportedly been making some gestures but not talking.
Investigators hope the boy will be able to help identify the person responsible.

They're at it again
They're at it again
Peterson Farm Brothers are at it again, making a video to spread the word of agriculture.
by Lucas Sjostrom, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
The Peterson Farm Brothers, beef and crop farmers in Kansas, are back with a video to promote agriculture. You may remember their first video, "I'm Farming and I grow It." That video went viral with over 7 million views to date, and landed the Peterson Farm Bros, the oldest, Greg, being a college student at Kansas State University, on Fox News and with other national publicity.
We've been able to run into Greg Peterson at a few industry events since. He's as genuine as they come and was frankly surprised by the success of their first video.
With their new video, "Farmer Style," they are parodying the most popular YouTube video of all time (as of last week, passing Justin Bieber's "Baby"), "Gangnam Style." Give it a watch and share it with friends. It's got a message that deserves to be heard.
As of this 8 a.m. Central time this morning, it had just under 90,000 views. Let's help it go viral, again.

Ya I agree with you! I still like the idea of Delta Centre (I know it has been used in the NBA before, but not anymore.) With Delta Airlines being the major airline in Detroit now, it makes sense. But another one to consider, and this could have a little to do with Grand Rapids being associated with the Wings, how about Meijer Gardens? Here's a few more to chew on:
Amway Place
Better Made Arena
Art Van 1/2 Off Centre ()
Bing Steel House
Belle Tire Hub
Deja Vu Centre
You have other companies like: Delphi, Dow Chemical, Faygo, Gordon Foods, Guardian Industries (Ironic!), Jiffy Mix, Penske Automotive, Roush Performance, Whirlpool, Ally, Lear, Visteon, Spartan Stores. Then again, Comerica Bank is now headquartered in Dallas, so who knows! I say Illitch should dump Comerica as soon as the contract expires just for being yet another Michigan born company that turned its back on us!
Idk maybe it's just me but I think it's weird that you want to have a corporate arena name.

Watering your landscape with an automatic irrigation system will likely be the single largest use of water in your home. You can dramatically improve efficiency by using proper irrigation scheduling techniques such as those outlined below.
In the best of all possible worlds your irrigation system would supply your landscape with exactly the right amount of water to keep it healthy. The system would shutoff when it rains and would increase watering times during dry spells. The perfect system would supply different amounts of water to different types of plants and would eliminate over-spray onto sidewalks and pavements. The perfect system would only run at night to minimize evaporation losses and it would alert you if there was a broken head or a stuck valve or some other problem.
Unfortunately, the perfect irrigation system does not exist. Some new technologies to control irrigation based on weather patterns are being tested across the country (see Irrigation Future Trends), but until these products reach the mass market, irrigation scheduling and clock programming is a regular chore for many homeowners.
Proper irrigation scheduling is a skill that surprisingly few have mastered. Many people don't realize that they must change their irrigation program regularly as the seasons change. Ideally you should program your sprinkler clock weekly or even daily to maximize efficiency. But even monthly changes to the irrigation schedule will result in substantial water savings and improved plant health. You should turn the system off when it rains and make frequent adjustments to the timing of each zone so that just the right amount of water is applied. Few people have the time or inclination to take this micro-managing approach, so these tips are designed to help you maximize efficiency with your sprinkler system through sensible scheduling.
The biggest problems encountered are watering too much and too frequently. Many of the common turf grass and landscape shrub diseases are made worse by, or even may be the result of, watering too frequently.
Irrigation Scheduling Tips
The Basics
Water At Night
Make sure your system only operates when the sun is down to reduce evaporation losses. If you like to watch your sprinklers run, set the start time for 8:00 p.m. – there is still plenty of light outside, but the sun is usually down. Many experts say the best time to water is between midnight at 4 a.m. because evaporation in kept to a minimum.
Never Water if the Soil is Wet
Irrigation scheduling is simply a matter of close observation and dedication. Ideally, the irrigation control clock should be adjusted on at least a weekly basis to conform with current weather conditions, but even with monthly adjustments your lawn can be maintained healthy and happy.
The first basic irrigation scheduling rule is never water if the soil is still wet. The old rule for landscape care was "if it doesn't look right, water it". This is often the worst possible thing to do. Plants wilt for any number of reasons other than needing water.
When You do Water, Don't be Stingy
The other rule for irrigation scheduling is when you do water, don't be stingy. Saturate the soil. The soil should be completely saturated (the technical term is that the soil has reached field capacity) throughout the root zone.
Cycle Your Sprinklers
If you're irrigating using sprinklers, the water will probably start to run off into the gutter, or into a low spot, before the soil is wet through the root zone. This is because the sprinklers put out more water in a given amount of time than the soil can absorb. In technical terms the precipitation rate of the sprinklers is greater than the infiltration rate of the soil. (Both, by the way, are measured as inches/hour in the U.S.A.) Fortunately, solving this problem is easy. As soon as the water starts to run-off, just turn off the sprinklers! Wait an hour or so for the water to soak in, then run the sprinklers again until run-off once again occurs. Continue this run-stop-wait-run cycle until the soil is saturated through the root zone. This process is referred to as cycling the sprinklers. Almost all sprinkler systems need to be cycled for proper irrigation.
Technical note: in large areas of turf you may not notice the run-off because the water doesn't run into a gutter or over a sidewalk, but runs off to the lowest area in the lawn. It's still critically important to prevent the run-off. If you don't, muddy, wet areas will result where turf diseases will thrive, mosquitoes will breed, and your mower will leave ruts.
Multiple Start Times
If your irrigation controller offers the feature of multiple start times you can use this to your advantage. Most modern controllers offer the option of 2 or three start times. When this feature is implemented your system will run through the entire cycle of zones more than once per day also called cycle irrigation. Here's an example: Instead of watering zone 1 for 20 minutes, use the multiple start time feature and set up three start times. You can then water zone 1 for 6 minutes three times for a total of 18 minutes. The shorter run times will reduce runoff and water losses and will reduce deep infiltration below the root zone. Table 1 shows a sample watering schedule using multiple start times.
Table 1: Sample watering schedule
Adjust Your Schedule As Needed
The weather changes. The seasons change. Your irrigation schedule should change to reflect the prevailing climate and season. Generally at the beginning of the irrigation season (typically the spring) you don't need to water as frequently as you do in the middle of the summer. In the early fall you can once again cut back watering.
Some sprinkler clocks have a rain pause button that enables you to postpone irrigation for a day or more. On other clocks it is easy to shut the entire system off for any period of time.
Some newer clocks also have % increase/decrease feature. This is a nice feature that enables you to reduce or increase watering across your entire system by a fixed percentage. This feature makes it much easier to adjust your clock for changes in the weather.
Consider a Rain Shutoff Device
Irrigating during or right after a rainstorm is one of the most pointless and wasteful irrigation practices. But what are you going to do if you're on vacation or out for the evening when the rain comes? A rain shutoff device may be the perfect solution.

this blend seems to work well for me. have been using for about a year. the addition of borage oil is a bonus. gel caps are good for travel ease. liquid form of this blend is less expensive, tastes mild, and is what i use at home.
I tried other Omega Oil supplements with no results. I saw a number of very positive reviews on Amazon and decided to give this particular Complete Omega Oil supplement a try. The FOG cleared, the depression lifted, and ADHD symptoms eased. And the lemon flavor is an added boost. I believe this supplement is laying a good foundation for me to finally make improvement after trying a wide variety of supplements with little results. If a brain does not have the vital nutrients it needs, then no amount of specialized computer exercises / counseling is going to work.
No fishy aftertaste

I've only been using this for a few weeks now, but I'm pretty happy with it in terms of the taste/aftertaste. Other fish oils that I have tried have left me with fishy breath, but not this.
Excellent product

I've been giving this product to my kids every day for more than a year now. I just nick the capsule with a needle and squeeze the fish oil out into a spoon to feed them. The mild lemon taste is well tolerated by my kids.

MARTINSBURG - Maybe it's because Martinsburg is putting up such insane offensive numbers.
Perhaps it is because they are replacing a talented group of linebackers from a defense that some consider one of the best in West Virginia. Ever.
Whatever the reason, Martinsburg's defense, and its talented group of linebackers, is often overlooked.
Article Photos
Journal photos by Ron Agnir and Dave Morrison
Above, Martinsburg linebacker Jared Sartin stalks out a play during the?Bulldogs' win over Woodrow Wilson Saturday. Sartin is part of Martinsburg's talented group of linebackers, which also includes Eric?Brown, Kyle Britner, Daiquon?Everhart, Trey Boyd, Ben?Zieger and Curtie Miller (pictured right).
Everyone knows about quarterback Justin "Cookie" Clinton.
How about Ben Zieger?
Versatile athlete Cedric Brown, a Marine Corps All-American, is a force with whom to be reckoned on offense and special teams.
What about Jared Sartin?
You could throw out a multitude of running backs, all of them contributing to the Bulldogs' offensive cause.
Then there is Kyle Britner.
The point being, Martinsburg's offense is well-known and feared, averaging 51.9 points per game, with the ability to score by land and by air.
The defense might not get the push of the explosive offense, but make no mistake, it is equally as valuable.
That starts with a group of linebackers who are playing at a high level as the Bulldogs head to the second round of the playoffs. Martinsburg (10-1) will host Berkeley County rival Musselman (8-3) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Cobourn Field in the quarterfinals of the Class AAA playoffs. The winner will take on the Lewis County-George Washington winner.
Make no mistake, coach Dave Walker knows the importance of his linebackers in the Martinsburg defense.
"Linebackers to a defense are like the running backs or the quarterback to a defense," Walker said. "They've got to be able to make plays. For the most part, these guys have done that. Maybe not with the fanfare that the offense gets, but they have done a great job."
The stats bear this out.
Zieger may be little in stature, (5-foot-8, 165 pounds) but he has big numbers, leading Martinsburg with 81 tackles, including 16 for a loss of yardage.
Jared Sartin, he of the Clay Matthews flowing locks, is right behind, with 67.5 stops and two interceptions.
Despite missing time with an injury, Kyle Britner is sixth on the team in tackles with 54, including three sacks.
You can bet opponents well know the capabilities of the Martinsburg defense, as a whole, and of the linebackers as a unit.
Led by Huff Award winner Logan Jenkins, first-team all-stater Justin Arndt and Seth Vanorsdale, Martinsburg's linebackers were a hard-hitting feared unit in 2011. The trio led a defense that shut down teams in no uncertain terms and did not allow a rushing touchdown until the playoffs. Martinsburg recorded six shutouts in 2011 and allowed just 103 points, over a quarter of those coming in a 35-27 win over George Washington in the state championship game.
That trio was all seniors.
So are Zieger, Sartin and Britner.
"We all looked up to those guys," Ziegler said. "When you get to play with guys like Logan, Justin and Seth, you learn a lot. We picked up a lot about how the game is supposed to be played from those guys."
It shows.
This year's team has four shutouts, including last week's 39-0 win over Woodrow Wilson in the first round of the playoffs and is giving up 10.8 points per game.
Yet the offensive numbers often take away some of the spotlight from a linebacker corps that has played above and beyond preseason expectations.
"Sometimes it seems that way," Sartin said. "A lot of people look at the board and the numbers are turning over and over on the offensive side. But we know as long as we keep that goose egg on the opponents side, we know we are going to win games."
Walker said the linebacker corps doesn't have to hold itself to last year's standard.
"These guys are good in their own right," Walker said. "They are all coachable, they play hard and they play fast. All they needed was some experience. These guys played JV last year but they really could have started for a lot of other teams. We had a lot of talent (at linebacker) last year but these guys are coming into their own."
The players realize this.
"We have a lot of weapons on offense," Britner said. "That's a good thing. If we do our job, and shut people down, we know we have the offense that is going to put up points. It all goes together."

Police responding to a domestic disturbance call at a Beloit home made an unusual discovery.
Officers said a malnourished calf was being kept in the basement of the house.
A woman living at the residence called police Sunday and told them her husband had assaulted her. Police Capt. Vince Sciame said the husband was upset the calf was not being properly fed.
A Madison television station reports the house was deemed uninhabitable by city inspectors.
The couple was cited for keeping livestock in the city. The calf was taken to the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Hospital and was later sent to an animal shelter.

MARTINSBURG - A Martinsburg resident has filed a lawsuit against a Berkeley County sheriff's deputy and the Berkeley County Council for being falsely arrested and wrongful imprisonment after spending one night in jail.
Lisa Bennett filed suit Jan. 24 against arresting officer Deputy Morris Stewart and the county council, responsible for the Sheriff's Department's funding, after alleging that she was wrongfully imprisoned for the unlawful taking of a vehicle.
"We have not been served yet," County Attorney Norwood Bentley said Thursday. "I've seen it, but we haven't been served, so I have no comment at this point."
On Aug. 26, 2011, Stewart was sent to investigate a claim by Douglas Bitner, who alleged that his girlfriend, Lisa Bennett, had taken his car after asking her to move out. Bitner provided a physical description of his girlfriend of "brown red hair and brown eyes."
Bennett alleges that she does not know Bitner and did not take his car. The file claims Bennett's eye color is listed as blue on her driver's license and that she has been living with her husband and children for six years.
The suit claims that Stewart did not ask for a date of birth, middle name, Social Security number or work address of Bitner's girlfriend and arrested Bennett with only the name "Lisa Bennett" and a physical description as identifying information.
Bennett was arrested at her home Jan. 26, 2012. She spent one night in the Eastern Regional Jail, where she was fingerprinted, sat for a mug shot and was required to wear an orange jumpsuit.
"As a proximate cause of (Stewart's) breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement and omission, Plaintiff Lisa Lynn Bennett suffered embarrassment, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and lost wages," the lawsuit reads.
The complaint states that Stewart did not try to confirm with Bitner whether Bennett was the same woman who took his car. The complaint also claims that it was on the basis of Stewart's criminal complaint stating under oath that Bennett committed the crime that a warrant was issued for Bennett's arrest.
On Oct. 2, 2012, the criminal case against Bennett was dismissed.
Bennett is suing for an undisclosed amount of compensatory damages, including lost wages, pre- and post-judgment interest and costs, as well as punitive damages. Bennett is demanding a trial by jury.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Blair County leaders secured permission Friday to impose a general fund real estate tax levy exceeding 25 mills for 2013 to help cover a 4.7 percent increase in expenses.
Senior Judge Charles Brown of Centre County asked a few questions during the court hearing where county officials described the budget's revenue, expenditures and plans to increase property taxes by 3.5 mills.
If the court decided not to approve the request, the county would be $1.67 million short, county solicitor Nathan Karn said.
"It would indeed be a very difficult task to decide where we would cut services," Commissioners Chairman Terry Tomassetti told Brown.
With Brown's permission to exceed the 25-mill cap set by the state, commissioners are in a position to vote Dec. 18 on the budget proposal with a real estate tax levy of 27.495 mills to support the general fund. Because the county levies additional millage to cover debt and to support libraries, parks and recreation, the tax rate for 2013 will be 32.059 mills.
The proposed 3.5-mill increase, according to Chief Tax Assessor Michael Baldner, will mean an increase of $40 to $58 in taxes for someone with a property currently valued at $100,000.
Finance Director Robert Kuntz told Brown that expenditures for 2013 are increasing by 4.7 percent.
"The biggest driver [of the increase] is the cost of hospitalization," Kuntz said.
While the county's hospitalization rates are in place through March, he estimated a 12 percent increase - about $700,000 - as of April 1 when the county's plan is up for renewal.
Kuntz also budgeted $175,000 in additional health insurance costs because of a pending decision to change part-time sheriff deputies to full time, as requested by Sheriff Mitchell Cooper on the basis that it would reduce turnover and training costs.
The proposed budget also shows $480,000 more to cover schooling for delinquent juveniles, $243,000 to cover wage increases and $116,000 more for foster care.
The proposed budget also shows, for the first time in several years, an allocation of $50,000 for the Altoona-Blair County Airport Authority, an amount the authority requested to help leverage federal aviation dollars.
Karn, who prepared the county's petition seeking the increase, also advised the judge of the commissioners' decision to close the solid waste and recycling department in October for lack of supporting revenue and the steps taken toward the possible sale of Valley View Home.
In 2008, when Senior Judge John K. Reilly of Clearfield County heard the county's last petition to exceed 25 mills of real estate taxes, he looked for reasons behind the increase and blamed commissioners for failing to reassess. While Reilly signed the county's petition, he told them they "ought to be embarrassed" for not having reassessed since 1958.
Brown, near the beginning of the hearing, said his role in reviewing the request does not put him in a position to decide how commissioners should cut the budget or programs.
"It's not my case or my job to run the County of Blair," he said.
Brown did ask Karn about public response to the proposed budget and tax rate. Since Nov. 13 when the budget was introduced and put on public display, commissioners have met twice and no one offered objections, the solicitor said.
After securing Brown's signature on the petition, county officials offered no predictions as to future budgets or tax rates, which could be affected by changes in federal health insurance rules, changes in state-mandated services and the sale of Valley View Home.
The state sets 30 mills as the maximum millage allowed for the county's general fund.
"Clearly we're getting close to the edge," Tomassetti said. "There's not a lot of room there to play with."

Birmingham kids swim for free
22nd March 2013
Children at The Broadway School in Perry Barr, Birmingham have been learning to swim for free thanks to the British Gas Pools 4 Schools initiative.
The project, in partnership with Total Swimming and the ASA, has seen a temporary pool placed at the school for 12 weeks for use by pupils at Broadway and nearby schools as well as the local community.
Triple Olympian and Commonwealth gold medallist Ross Davenport was on hand to celebrate the launch of the scheme in Birmingham and gave a masterclass to 20 lucky children.
It doesn't matter how old you are... swimming is great for everyone.
Davenport said: "I was fortunate because my parents would drive me to the pool and we had a good facility close to home.
"Many children however aren't this lucky, so to have a pool like on their doorstep is a great way to build confidence and get correct instruction from qualified swimming teachers; who knows one day we may see a future Olympian who started their journey at one of these very sites.
"However, it's not just children using this pool. Adults are learning to swim here as well which is absolutely fantastic. This is about raising the numbers of people participating in swimming – it doesn't matter how old you are, it's great for everyone."

Elkins High School FFA students taught fourth-graders about agriculture at Agriculture Education Day at the Randolph County Fair Friday, Sept. 6.
"How many eggs do you think a person eats a year?" Jimmy Jester asked and was met with a chorus of various answers, from 20 to 2,000! By the time the youngsters left Jester's station, they knew most people in the U.S. eat about 250. After a short discussion about other birds that lay eggs and which ones we consume, they had an egg race.
A study recently uncovered a new angle on learning. If a child is taught a concept, then engages in physical activity, they remember the lesson better. EHS FFA members combined lessons and physical activities to encourage learning about agriculture.

The younger children learned what bread was made from and what equipment was used to harvest wheat at this station before having a wheel barrow race.
"Did you know most people eat about 57 pounds of chicken? That's maybe 27 chickens! What other birds do we eat?" Kris Cooper, a first year FFA member, asked.
"How big is a duck? What color can they be? How do they walk?" Abbie Williams asked and off the kids went to walk down the field and back with a balloon between their knees, waddling like ducks.
FFA member Abby Jones was a tour guide for a group of children, visiting all the station set up for the kids.

Sudburys Simon Shnapir and his skating partner, Marissa Castelli, are headed to the US Figure Skating Championships next month in Omaha. And the pair will do so with renewed confidence and their highest world ranking.
Sudburys Simon Shnapir and his skating partner, Marissa Castelli, are headed to the US Figure Skating Championships next month in Omaha. And the pair will do so with renewed confidence and their highest world ranking.
I didn't realize he was Canadian.
That's because Shnapir is not Canadian.
The Boston Globe article at the link above says that he "was born in Moscow and emigrated with his family to this country in 1989."
"This country" means the U.S.
And "Sudbury" is Sudbury, Massachusetts -- located 17 miles from Boston, according to his high school's profile http://www.lsrhs.net/sites/info/file...ROFILE2013.pdf
Another thing that the article didn't mention is that Marissa also skates with Theatre on Ice of Boston. We saw her perform both with Simon and with Ice Theatre on Ice of Boston at Everning with Champions, and she was great in both disciplines
They are doing well but it appear more than anything they are just lucky too as well. Timing is everything and there are retirements, injuries which all seemed to help them move up the rankings bot in the world and US. Good team but they also seem to be a bit luck especially with timing. I think they can win nationals but a world medal is going to be a huge challenge.
In the US, these days, top 10 seems to be the best we hope for; I hope they can do this.
Great article, thanks for sharing. Castelli & Shnapir are my hometown pairs team, so I root for them! I love that Bobby, their coach, said Marissa is "a rock star when she skates." I totally agree! Having seen them live a couple times, I've really been struck by Marissa's stage presence and "it" factor. She just draws your attention on the ice.
Watching them at NHK, I think there is no reason Castelli & Shnapir can't be at the same type of level as teams like Denney/Coughlin and Moore-Towers/Moscovitch. They have all the big tricks, like those teams, and quite decent pairs quality. They just need to believe in themselves, build their confidence more, and continue to get more competitive experience. If they make Worlds, I think a top 10 finish would be a certainty. Obviously they would not be in medal contention yet--they'll need to improve a lot artistically for that, and also improve as a pair--but I think top 8 would be quite achievable. I will really be rooting for them at Nationals & just hope they can handle the pressure of essentially coming in as the favorites (with D/C out).
Other than experience, the four things C&S need are (IMO)
1. decide on what they are doing with their combo jumps in the LP.
Their 3S in the SP is pretty consistent now. And they landed a 3T in the LP at NHK. The 2A in sequence doesn't seem to work for them. This should be fixable. It seems like they are struggling with a strategy on this
2. getting more than level 1 on their triple twist. The twist is high and well done-they should be able to add the little twidgets that would earn them more than level 1.
3. They are currently doing throw 3S and throw 2A in the LP. They have toyed with the throw 3A, but maybe they should spend the time to work out whatever problems they might have with one of the other triple throws.
4. A little better unison on the SBS spins
Only item 3 looks tough to me. I don't know what problems they have with 3FTh or 3LpTh, but clearly there must be a problem in some way for them, or they wouldn't be doing a 2ATh
Last edited by dorispulaski; 12-08-2012 at 02:57 AM.
Good points, Doris. In regard to point #3, I'm wondering if the throw 2Axel appears in the program because their planned content is throw 3Axel, but they then make a mid-program decision to do throw 2Axel instead? If this is the case, it's probably not the best strategy anyway. Either commit to throw 3Axel or switch to a different throw. Maybe they've been practicing throw 3Axel for so long that their other throws are a bit rusty . . .
Regarding points #1 and #2, keep in mind that Bobby Martin, Marissa & Simon's coach, is new to this level of coaching. He's not had any elite pairs prior to C&S and D&S (that I'm aware of, anyhow). So he may still be learning the finer points of strategy and technique polishing at the world level. Overall, their whole team, C&S included, is relatively inexperienced, with the exception of the choreographer. I would imagine another year or so on the elite level will help them all improve and sharpen strategy, especially if Marissa & Simon make Worlds this year.
What's happening is not only the emergence of a strong new pair, but also, potentially, the development of a new elite pairs coaching team in the U.S. We need more strong pairs coaches in this country, so I wish them success.
BTW, has Rockne Brubaker found a new partner? Will he be back next season?
^ Sorry, my question was not clear. I had not forgotten the Brubaker/Evora news before the GP season started. I was hoping that someone else had heard something since then.
Finally getting around to editing my photos from SKAM.
Anyway here are two fantastic shots (by Mr. P) of Simon and Marissa:
Woah! Look how high the girl can jump!
Lovely lift.
Sorry for the grain + blur; point and shots are not the most ideal for these types of things, but it gives you the idea of how awesome they were to see live!
We have a great in the air shot of them doing sbs triples-even the rotation and arm position was exactly matched. You had to look twice to see they were actually in the air.

Daniel Radcliffe made an unexpected appearance at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood on Friday night. Arriving with a male pal around 1:40 a.m., the Harry Potter star was "in party mode but really friendly," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and jeans, the actor hung out at a table in the club's back VIP room, where he made himself vodka cocktails.
As DJ BeeFowl spun hit after hit, Radcliffe "started singing and dancing at the table to Nelly's 'Country Grammar' and 'Ride Wit Me'," the source adds. "He introduced himself to people at his table casually as 'Dan.' "
As the evening progressed, Girl Meets World star Ben Savage chatted up Radcliffe and the two shared a laugh.
The next song to make Radcliffe dance was Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
The source adds, "He was very happy-go-lucky," and Radcliffe "posed for a few photos and stayed at the club until closing time."

A Matt (or just Mat) will make the best boyfriend/guyfriend ever. With their big brown eyes, and heart-melting smile it's hard not to fall for them. They are different, in a beautiful way. Even though they've had a bad past, you'll never know it. They are really strong people, and they change for the better. They are there when you need them, and they value their friendships. They like to look good, and dress well. Handsome, and charming. Very successful at life, make great Dads. Known to be players but when they meet that special girl, their sold. Matt's come off as tough and solid, but deep down, their soft side comes out and you see the sweet gentleman in them. They're not popular, but not a loner either. Friends love them, and guys want to be him. They have a really laid back attitude about themselves, but at the same time they can be the life of the party. Even though they can be a jerk at times, they mean well and are really the nicest guys ever. If you have a Matt, don't let him go. None other compares.
Look at that Matt over there. He's so handsome.

MONTREAL — Thomas Vanek was back. Ryan Miller was back to being himself. The combination created another victory for the Buffalo Sabres, who feel things are finally turning in their direction.
The Sabres earned a 2-1 victory over Montreal on Saturday, their second win in Bell Centre in five days. It's an impressive feat considering the Canadiens entered the night on runs of 14-1-4 and 6-0-1.
"They're a great hockey team, and to be able to come in here and get two wins is really good for our hockey team, a positive sign," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said.
There have been plenty of good omens lately in Sabreland. Buffalo has won three straight to enhance runs of 4-1-1 and 7-3-3. The Sabres pulled within two points of eighth-place Carolina with two extra games played.
"We're getting wins, and we're still not playing our absolute best," center Tyler Ennis said. "We're making strides and coming hard and improving every day, but we've still got more. That's exciting."
The best part for the Sabres during their latest victory was the players who keyed it. Vanek scored both goals after sitting out one game with a hip injury, while Miller stopped 38 shots to quell a personal slide.
The goaltender was 1-3-2 in his previous six starts with a 3.56 goals-against average and .876 save percentage. He forgot all about that and quieted the 21,273 fans who mockingly chanted his name.
"I was happy with that," Miller said. "It's been a little bit of a tough go the last few weeks, so I needed to start collecting myself and give the guys a chance to get these kinds of wins."
Despite the gaudy save total, Miller had help. Montreal had 85 shot attempts to just 31 for Buffalo, but the Sabres blocked 31 shots. Mike Weber got in the way of eight, and fellow defensemen Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr blocked four each.
"Millsie did a good job for us, and our D corps was really good around our net," Rolston said. "We have a ways to go, but guys can feel now that the momentum they're building is in the right direction."
The Sabres' main success in the opening 29 minutes was keeping the game scoreless despite a major discrepancy in zone time. The Habs had a 19-6 shot advantage as goaltender Carey Price stood alone at the end of the rink for long stretches.
Back-to-back penalties by Montreal changed everything. Buffalo cashed in on the five-on-three to take a 1-0 lead. Ehrhoff's rocket from the point got tipped by Vanek, struck the inside of the post and tickled twine with 9:35 to go in the second period.
The Sabres have scored on the power play in four straight games after suffering through an 8-for-95 drought.
"Five-on-three, you have to score, and we did a good job," Vanek said. "Christian had a good shot, I had a good tip on it, and that's the lead we needed at that point in the game."
The goal got the Sabres moving. They took eight of the final 12 shots in the second and doubled their lead just before intermission.
Ennis spotted Vanek ready to cross in front, and the sniper kept going along the top of the crease after accepting the pass. He got Price down, then dumped the puck into the net with 38.3 seconds left to stun the Habs and their fans.
A trip to the box again turned momentum, with Montreal taking advantage this time. With Marcus Foligno in the box for tripping, Michael Ryder got wide open in front of the Buffalo net and tipped Andrei Markov's point shot with 11:43 left. The crowd exploded and got ready for a tense finish.
The Sabres held them off as Miller stopped 15 shots in the third. They flew to Florida for upcoming games against Tampa Bay and Florida buoyed by the victory.
"The guys in here have been building up to something for this whole year," Miller said. "We went through a really, really dark kind of time, and something had to come from it."

A Due Process Right to Record the Police
Glenn Harlan Reynolds
University of Tennessee College of Law
John A. Steakley
John A. Steakley, P.C.
April 22, 2012
Washington University Law Review, Vol. 89, No. 30, 2012, Forthcoming
University of Tennessee Legal Studies Research Paper No. 190
There has been considerable discussion of citizens' First Amendment right to record the police. This essay, however, argues that independent of any First Amendment right, there is also a due process right to record the actions of law enforcement, and that this right applies even when the interaction takes place in private, and not in public places. This question of a due process right to record the police has not yet produced the degree of attention and litigation that public recording has, but the growth of inexpensive recording equipment and its inclusion in smart phones ensures that such attention and litigation are sure to be forthcoming.

At our 139th annual meeting on Tuesday, we launched No Kill Charleston 2015 — the boldest animal welfare initiative ever undertaken in the Southeast. The vision is to save every healthy and treatable animal and, most importantly, sustain it. Though some will dismiss this as unfeasible, the reality is Charleston Animal Society has already made great strides towards this dream.
Five years ago, when we opened our new shelter and spay/neuter clinic, we told the community that the expanded facility would allow us to make our neighborhoods safer and healthier for both people and animals.
This move, along with investments from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and PetSmart Charities during that same period of time was crucial to an expansion of our programs and services critical to saving lives — and helped us make good on our promise. Since moving into our current facility on Remount Road in North Charleston, we have served as a model for bringing the population of unwanted animals under control for all animal rescue organizations and shelters in the Southeast and beyond.
Though we care for 90 percent of the community's unwanted animals, many of which are seriously injured or gravely ill, we have made remarkable strides in five years. By thinking out-of-the-box, using proven best practices from animal organizations across the nation and implementing research-based strategies, Charleston Animal Society has moved from what is known as an annual live release rate of 34 percent in 2007 to over a 75 percent annual live release rate today, which is almost unheard of in the animal welfare world.
Comparatively, other parts of the state realize low live release rates ranging from 10 percent to 30 percent.
Most remarkably, we have been able to turn our live release rates around even without full support of our local governments whose payment for services amount to a mere 25 percent of our operating costs.
Though proud of our accomplishments, we are hardly satisfied, knowing that there is more to be done. This is what inspired Charleston Animal Society to introduce the concept of a no kill community to Charleston County.
First introduced in 1989 as a concept to build a no kill nation, the no kill philosophy targets the community at large rather than focusing inward on organizations. Communities are seeing that it is indeed a collective and collaborative effort having resulted in positive gains in health and safety for both animals and humans.
Though groundbreaking in its scope, much of No Kill Charleston 2015 involves staying the course and sticking with what is working well. To move forward, however, we'll lead the Charleston area toward strategies and tactics that are difficult, yet proven.
Much of this will be challenging to implement, but well worth the tough and honest conversations we must have as a community to become the first one in the Southeast to achieve this.
No Kill Charleston 2015 will be demanding on all of us, but what worthwhile venture is not? It is about our community, not about a single organization. It's time for all of us to work together in saving every healthy and treatable animal. It's time for us to move our community to no kill.
You are Charleston Animal Society. For 139 years, you have always been Charleston Animal Society and will continue to be. We believe in our community, and we believe in you.
Please join our cause at www.CharlestonAnimalSociety.org/NoKill.

Deryck Whibley made his first public appearance since nearly dying from drinking too much alcohol.
The 34-year-old Canadian rocker was photographed looking frail while walking around Los Angeles on Monday with the help of his fianceé Jocelyn Aguilar and an unidentified woman – just days after revealing the battle with alcoholism that landed him in intensive care.
Whibley, the lead vocalist of Sum 41 and ex-husband of Avril Lavigne, posted a heartrending message to fans on his website Friday, explaining why he spent a month in the hospital.
"The reason I got so sick is from all the hard boozing I've been doing over the years. It finally caught up to me. I was drinking hard every day. Until one night," he wrote, "I was sitting at home, poured myself another drink around midnight and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden I didn't feel so good. I then collapsed to the ground unconscious."
Whibley was "stuck [with] needles and i.v.'s all over," sedated for an entire week before waking up to see his parents standing over him, he said. He has vowed to stay sober and is inspired to get back into the studio and on tour.
"My liver and kidney's collapsed on me. Needless to say it scared me straight. I finally realized I can't drink anymore. If i have one drink the doc's say i will die," he wrote. "Anyway i have my passion and inspiration back for writing music."

Ralph Lewis Cooper Jr., 49, a Berkeley County resident, was arrested April 22 income tax charges.
S.C. Department of Revenue investigators charged Cooper with four counts of attempting to evade or defeat taxes, according to a statement released Wednesday.
He was being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner pending a bond hearing.
For tax years 2008 through 2011, the DOR investigation showed Cooper falsified the earning statements of another person to indicate that the individual was exempt from withholding taxes.
As a result of Coopers actions, there was little or no withholding taxes withheld from the other persons pay during tax years 2008 through 2011.
The total outstanding liability for 2008 through 2011 is $16,430.
Cooper faces a fine of $40,000 or 20 years of imprisonment, or both, according to SCDOR.

Dior 'Ecarlate' cocktail dress (with reinforced section)
Autumn/Winter Y-line collection 1955-56
Museum no. T.25-2007
One of the first projects that I worked on for 'The Golden Age of Couture' exhibition was a cocktail dress designed by Christian Dior for his Autumn/Winter Y-line collection in 1955-56. This typifies the Y-line motif that Dior employed - the deep V-neck and the inverted Y of the skirt pleats.
'Ecarlate' (scarlet), a signature costume in the exhibition, is cut and pieced to give the impression that it is formed in two main sections - an under layer and a simulated over-skirt tied at the waist with a fringed tie.
A number of previous repairs and alterations that were made prior to acquisition had altered the original profile. From evidence found in a contemporary image, released from the House of Dior to advertise the dress, it was possible, with the curator's help, to return it to a more appropriate shape.
Additionally the original lightweight silk underdress was in poor condition and required a considerable stitch support treatment to stabilise it before it could be mounted on a mannequin for display.

In Austin, Texas on Saturday night for the G. H. Mumm Art of Celebration Formula 1 event, Duhmel, 40, proudly showed off pictures of his 3-month-old son, Axl with wife Fergie.
"He was all about baby Axl, showing party guests iphone photos of him," says an observer at the party. "He was saying fatherhood is the best experience and that he is having the best time with him. He said everything is all about the little man now. He was just an adoring father."
Duhamel also learned how to "sabrage" a champagne bottle – using a saber along the body of the bottle to break the neck – on his first try. Along with lots of champagne, the party also featured aerial performers who hung from red ribbon, pouring glasses of champagne for party guests while a DJ spun a variety of tunes.

What's the main reason why you use free/open source software?
Why do you love free software?
Do you use free software because you have a highly developed ethical compass? Or because it's light on your wallet? Maybe you like the support that's available or like to help people yourself. Tell us what you think!
because we have the
because we have the choice.and its free as freedom or free beer
Free as in Free Speech
M$-DOS to Win3.11 to Win 95 to 98, I could see that I was not allowed to do what I want to do with my computer. I can do something with my computer only if some capitalistic pig allows me to do it & that too after I make him more richer.
Hey it is my computer. I will do what I want to do with it. Software should be free (as in speech as well as in beer)
Thats is the main reason that I moved to GNU/Linux initially in a dual boot config & finally kicked the dual boot so that I have only GNU/Linux on my thinkpad.
Why use LINUX
LINUX is the best platform for developing unique products.
Patents and closed source.
I dont like patented and closed source software, its stops and blocks innovation. Linux is better for me and my PC hygiene.
Techincal Merits?
I use free software ( OpenSolaris ) simply because it's the best performing/most stable/most scalable operating system ever developed, and I'm not legally forced to pay for anything if I don't need to
The Best One
Why use open source? What many "normal users" don't seem to understand about it is that most of it is of better quality than commercial software is. In addition, it is free of cost and free as in freedom, with an excellent support community. Open-source will take over, it is just a matter of educating people on the benefits of open source software and how much open source software is avalible.
I prefer Foss because of all
I prefer Foss because of all of the options given plus the fact that I can modify or help to modify the code to my own way of working not be stuck with having to use my computer the way someone else wants me to
Why I do love Free Software?
- I am able to check/verify, it does what I want it to do
- I am able to modify/adapt/extend it to my needs
- I do not expect to fall prey to all those "MS Windows" like loopholes;
and if there are failures, those are usually disclosed and corrected pretty soon,
in any case I can work around the flaw if only I have access to the source
Why use open source software?
I use open source, free software because it is vetted and scrutinised by the people who are both interested in it and know what they are talking about, instead of being mislead by biased marketing hype. The support community is wonderful and we all add to the development of freely available, useful tools that actually help us do something, not just line some big corportaions pockets. If I want to add a feature, then it's available to everyone, which makes the end result even better.
Using free software
It is not the cost.
It is the difficult way of paying on line. Furthermore, my English is poor and I shall never be sure of understanding everything I could agree.
Felix M Gallegos
It works better
After having to use windoze programs for most of my adult career, I find that Open Source software, in almost all cases, simply works better than most of the proprietery software that I've used in the past.
Other kind of business
I think that free software helps to break the de-facto monopoly that has existed
in software since the days when IBM selected Microsoft as their operating system provider.
Give me freedom or give me death.
The name of the game is Quality!
Why purchase inferior commercial software? Open Source provides the quality that has been missing from Microsoft (and other vendors) software from day one. I've not been able to comprehend why so many put up with inferior and buggy products.
Why do I use free software?
For all of the above reasons and also because of the vastly improved security as well as never having to read the self-congratulating BS that is part and parcel of every M$ program.
Richard Stallman is my hero!
I use free software because I'm addicted!
Definitely "freedom"
Definitely "freedom". I develop free software because I want to support the community, and I want to support the community, because I respect its fundamental commitment to freedom.
I do think that cost has to be figured in as well, though.
There are no real examples of "non zero cost but free" software. When you do pay money "for software", you are really paying for media and/or services -- ancillary products, as it were -- not software. Software can't really be "non-zero cost but free" because cost is a restriction on your freedom.
The closest thing to "non zero cost but free" is when you actually sponsor the writing of the software, but then you're really contracting a programmer to do a service for you (writing the program), not buying the program.
As an individual, it's usually a much better deal for me to learn how to use the software without paying for support services. Most of the time it's more fun, too. However, if I were to need the software in a mission-critical application in a commercial environment, I'd be deciding between paying an employee to learn the software or "outsourcing" the work to the commercial software provider. It's easy to see in that situation why it's generally a better deal to hire the people who already know the software rather than to pay for someone to learn the software on my nickel. ;-)
because of freedom too! i
because of freedom too!
i may create something cool, but u may improve it to better since the source code is open! and the development is faster in open source community rather than private codes, but still all developers are volunteers and the cost of developments sometime drive the project to be cancellation.
Because it works!
And I'm not forced to use any programs or have items installed on my computer that I don't want. Programs do what they say they do without trying to sell me something. And, I learn from the software whereas with win, for example, a user is shielded from knowing how things work. Anyway, I'm no techie, just a recent desktop linux convert who will never use any other operating system again.
Many reasons why I use free software
I use free software for a variety of reasons. Of course, it being free in cost is a benefit, but that is not the major reason why I use it. I think that FOSS is in most cases of a better quality than proprietary software. It is also a lot easier to participate in the development of it via feedback. The worry about losing a registration key no longer exists, and there is less chance of good software disappearing as someone will usually take over development if the original author is no longer able to.
I've also found that support is a lot better via places like forums than you get with non-free software.
I really just love being a participant in something that is not controlled by mega-corporations such as Micro$oft.
Free as in everything
I'm free from viruses.
I'm free from paying (it's not a big deal in Belarus, where you can buy or copy any software cracked, but anyway I'm free from compunctions).
I'm free from "features" I don't really need.
I'm free from spending a lot of money on phone calls while guy or girl from the support is asking what is the type, number and terms of my license agreement, if I have switched my PC before using their product, if I do like using the product (Do they really care about that?) and so on.
I'm free from "guru's" advises such as "reinstall windows".
I prefer to manage the system, and I hate when the system trys to manage me.
I spent my freshman year of
I spent my freshman year of college as a creative writing major afraid to open her writing projects on her own computer because it had come with student-teacher Microsoft Office and any of those projects might potentially become a profitable enterprise at some point in the future. The next year I discovered OpenOffice and I've slowly been converting over to free bit by bit ever since. I just spent my first grad school Christmas break converting to an Ubuntu/XP dual boot on my own. I like being able to use programs to do things without having to worry about if a personal project turning into a profit project will violate a EULA I couldn't understand with a BA in English.
And, best of all, I can often find what I need online without needing a credit card number.
Luckily I haven't had to ask for support yet, but having the forum archives and a user-generated wiki available when I was trying to set up wireless? Priceless, particularly since others had already tried to set up the exact device I was working with.
The Applications

MUHAMMAD Azfar Zulkifli was treated like a rock star on Saturday.
First, he was picked up from a hotel in Orchardin the evening for a 30-minute spin round town in a red Ferrari.
Then, the 12-year-old was dropped off at Hard Rock Cafe.
At 9.30pm, he strapped on his electric guitar and took to the stage with local band Enigma. They played two Green Day songs - Viva La Gloria and East Jesus Nowhere.
