April Millsap, a 14-year-old from Armada, Michigan, went missing Thursday evening after texting her boyfriend, "Omg. … I think I'm being kidnapped," Michigan Live reports.
She was found hours later after her family's border collie led two people jogging on the Macomb Orchard Trail to her body, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"She was such a beautiful child," her grandmother Jackie Levans told the newspaper, crying. "She did not deserve to die like this. Please tell people don't think it cannot happen to you. We would never have expected something like this to happen to us. They ruined somebody's life."
During a news conference Tuesday, authorities said they are "zeroing in" on the person responsible for April's death, adding that neither her family nor her boyfriend are being considered as suspects, according to the Macomb Daily.
Investigators initially looked for a grey van possibly linked to the crime but have since ruled that lead out, now focusing on a motorcycle rumored to have been spotted on the scene, reports WXYZ-TV, the area's ABC affiliate. Police have also released a sketch of a person of interest with "sandy brown or reddish hair."

Halloween is not my favorite - I know this is probably shocking information.
You are probably asking yourself, "But why wouldn't you love to chase three small children fueled by high fructose corn syrup all over town in the pitch black praying that they don't get hit by a car or lost in the dark?"
And to you, I'd say, "Exactly."
My anxiety levels increase in direct proportion to my children's blood sugar level - school parties, fall festivals - sugar sneaks in to their day while they are at school and they become ticking time bombs, their blood sugar crashing just in time to get in the car with me.
I picked the girls up from school on Halloween and braced myself for my least favorite night of the year. Aubrey and Emma dressed as "scary vampire ghost girls." While I negotiated how much makeup they could wear, I told Sadie to go put on her costume.
Sadie had originally said she wanted to be a police officer which was extremely convenient for me because Emma was a police woman last year and the costume fit Sadie. But when she got ready to go trick or treating with her class, she folded at the last minute and dressed as a princess.
I had no idea what she was going to put on when she walked out of the bathroom, but being as she is the third child, I really didn't care. Sadie came back quickly wearing a hot pink leotard, her purple tennis shoes and a cape.
I choked on my laughter and asked her what she was. She rolled her eyes, "A supah hewoe gull - duh." She looked like Richard Simmons in a cape.
"Of course you are. But you need pants, it's cold," I bargained.
She ran out of the room and came back after adding a pair of blue jeans to her get-up.
Emma fell apart trying to find a pair of shoes to match her outfit.
No matter how many words I used, she could not be convinced that white sandals with a large flower on the toe, might not be the scariest or warmest choice to complete her costume.
As all three girls argued over who got to carry which candy bag, I fantasized about ways I could scare them straight. I wished I still had a prom dress from high school that I could wear in the carpool line to pick them up, or maybe I could just go pants-less - they would be horrified and no one else would have to be the wiser.
What could I do to make my children feel the same sense of dread that I feel when facing Halloween?
To make them understand the horror I had to face to get them in the bed after eight hours and 8,000 grams of sugar - each. I daydreamed about showing up at their school to eat lunch with them and grabbing food out of their friends' lunch boxes.
I'd grab a fork and just stab anything within arms' reach.
"You gonna eat that?" I'd ask their friends as my kids stared open mouthed in horror. The girls continued to scuffle, but they started to simmer down as we made our way out of the house and into the car.
"Buckle your seat belts," I admonished, still silently scheming -
I could break out into spontaneous dance in the grocery store, or put their birth videos into their backpacks for Show & Tell - if that didn't terrify everyone who saw it then I didn't know what would.
The commotion in the backseat got louder. "Buckle your seat belts or you are going to be sorry," I said, smiling to myself as I cranked the car. If all else fails, the price tag on their therapy bills should be enough to scare anybody.

CHARLES TOWN -A judge is singing the praises of a local attorney and his wife for their generous financial donation to the Eastern Panhandle's newly established juvenile drug court.
The continuing donation being given by Kevin Mills and his wife, Laura, comes in the form of picking up the tab each week for food provided to juveniles and their parents who participate in the program, which focuses on substance abuse treatment and intervention.
"After the kids leave court, they have a meal together with their parents, the whole group, and then after that they go into their group therapy. The parents go into one group and the children go into another group," said Family Court Judge David Greenberg, who volunteers his time to preside over the drug court.
Juveniles who participate in the program usually arrive at the court at about 4 p.m. each Thursday and don't usually leave until 6:15 p.m.
"It's great that they are able to have that meal, because therapy isn't really going to be effective if everybody is starving to death. Kevin and his wife, Laura, stepped up to the plate and donated the money for us to feed these kids and their parents after court before they go to therapy," Greenberg said.
The judge said Mills and his wife are billed directly from food providers and the court never sees any of the expenses. The juvenile drug court program is an early-intervention initiative created by the West Virginia Supreme Court and is active in more than a dozen counties statewide. It's modeled after a national program that accepts children between the ages of 10 and 17 who have either been caught using illegal substances or are at risk for that behavior.
Mills said he and his wife had been providing the philanthropic financial support anonymously, but thanked Greenberg for his appreciation and the ongoing work of the juvenile drug court.
"I certainly don't want to make it look like it's a PR attempt or anything like that. I was doing this anonymously, but I think it's maybe a way that helps the program to get a little recognition in that there are people in the community who believe in it and it is helping change people's lives," Mills said.
While Mills is best known locally as a criminal defense attorney and the head of Kevin Mills & Associates, he has also been a member of the West Virginia State Bar's Lawyer Assistance Committee for more than 25 years and has been involved in programs that assist people with mental health and substance abuse issues.
Mills is also a member of the board of directors for a youth addiction and mental health treatment center in Virginia, and he said he has been active in those kinds of causes for many years.
When Mills learned of Greenberg's and Justice Robin Jean Davis' push to establish a juvenile drug court in the Eastern Panhandle, he said he and his wife volunteered to help in any way they could.
"I expect as long as the program needs the support that we are going to do what we can to help out in the ways that we can, financially and otherwise. I just feel like professionally I work with people who, as adults, suffer consequences of neglecting those issues at a younger age. It's nice to deal with the other side of it, which is really prevention," Mills said.
Mills has already attended one of the juvenile drug court's group therapy meetings and plans to present a talk to the juveniles involved in the program later this month. With his busy schedule, he admitted he doesn't have as much time as he would like to volunteer with the drug court, which is part of the reason why he and his wife decided to provide the funding for food services for the juveniles and families involved in the program.
"My wife, she is a big supporter of the program also and believes strongly in that cause, so she makes arrangements with the program director over there and she works out the arrangements for us to help with the cost of that part of the pogram," Mills said.
The new court in Charles Town has been active since about mid-June. Greenberg said the program is already seeing a lot of success. Some youths who have entered the program are now on the honor roll, and Greenberg said many of them have been thriving over the last few months since they've been in the program.
"It is a good program. The more we can get the program out into the community, the better it will become, because we are seeing some good results with these kids," Greenberg said.

UNIVERSITY PARK -Whatever Saturday's season opener means historically for Penn State University, its football program, the community and any others ready to move on from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, for Bill O'Brien, it means only one thing.
"Saturday is about a football game," said the coach, who is keenly focused on getting his team prepared to play.
O'Brien admitted he will have some butterflies before his first game as a head coach at any level, and he's fully aware of the added significance many other people are placing on the game.
He knows, however, he and his players should only be thinking about what it will take to beat Ohio.
"As soon as you kick it off - and for me as soon as we start calling plays on offense and get the thing going - then obviously you're focused on the game and the butterflies go away," O'Brien said.
That's when instinct kicks in and football coaches and players do what they're trained to do best.
"Football is about repetition," O'Brien said.
There were many repetitive questions during O'Brien's first game-week news conference Tuesday about how the coach and his players will respond given everything they've been through during the scandal. O'Brien did his best with each of the questions to try and stay focused on football and point out the task at hand, rather than looking at everything from some big-picture point of view.
O'Brien has watched a lot of game film on Ohio, so he understands that if his team isn't prepared to compartmentalize and focus on the opponent, then Saturday could be a rough day.
"This is an excellent football team," O'Brien said. "This is Coach [Frank] Solich's eighth year in the program, and this is probably his best football team."
Penn State fans got used to Joe Paterno always talking up vastly inferior opponents with statements such as, "that's a good, tough football team," even when it was the likes of Indiana State or Youngstown State. When O'Brien talks about how good Ohio is, it's not just to build up the opponent.
"This is a team that was in the MAC championship game last year and has huge aspirations for this year," O'Brien said.
That has to be part of the reason the coach doesn't want to get too philosophical about big-picture issues, nor does he want his players to do that either. He knows their emotions will be running high to play this historic game, but he also realizes the players have to keep their emotions in check.
"If our guys can control their emotions and play within themselves and not try to be heroes and just play the way they've been playing in practice, then we'll have a shot to control those emotions early on," O'Brien said.
No more vanilla 'D'
Linebacker Michael Mauti addressed an issue that was obvious in recent years when talking about Penn State's new defense.
"With Coach [Tom] Bradley we kept things more vanilla," Mauti said.
That won't be the case under new defensive coordinator Ted Roof.
"We're going to be multiple in what we do," Mauti said. "Guys will be flying around."
The secondary also will get to play more man-to-man coverage, instead of the softer zones Penn State utilized for years.
No-huddle defense
The Nittany Lions also will be using a no-huddle scheme on defense, with multiple players giving signals rather than just one. Linebacker Gerald Hodges said some of the signals will be real and some will be dummy signals so the opposition can't pick them up.
The no-huddle setup will help the defense keep up with fast-paced offenses, but the challenge will be to have everyone on the same page with communication and execution.
Jones No. 2 QB
O'Brien clarified the backup quarterback position, saying sophomore Paul Jones still has a hold on the spot. The depth chart, released Monday, listed Jones and true freshman Steven Bench battling for the backup job.
"Paul Jones is still the No. 2 quarterback, but I will say that Steven Bench has come in and definitely closed the gap," O'Brien said. "He's a leader, he's a guy that is the son of a football coach from Georgia, where high school football is a really big deal. So he's been brought up around football his whole life, and he's done a lot of good things in training camp."
O'Brien reiterated that Jones will play this season, but he noted it will be more situational and depending on "the flow of the game."
Tough opener
One Sports Illustrated writer picked Ohio to go 12-0 this season, and whether that will happen or not, Penn State's players realize this is a much tougher opener than the program has had in recent years.
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill called it "definitely the toughest opponent for a first game" of his career, which has included openers against Indiana State, Youngstown State and Akron.
News and notes
Senior Mike Farrell appeared to have the edge on junior Adam Gress for the starting right tackle spot, according to practice observers Tuesday. ... O'Brien gave no indication of who his kickoff and punt returners would be. He said sophomore Alex Kenney is in the mix but added everyone will have to wait until Saturday to find out. ... Sophomore receiver Allen Robinson has impressed everyone throughout the summer and training camp and said Tuesday, "I'm ready to be the No. 1 wideout." ... Willis said he's "feeling great" after missing several practices with an ankle injury. ... Senior defensive end Pete Massaro is expected to play Saturday after battling a sore knee in camp. Massaro missed last season with a torn ACL.

Peter R. Breggin M.D.
Psychiatric Reform Accomplishments
1954 to the Present
Many of Dr. Breggins accomplishments as a reformer are documented in detail in The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, M.D. (2009). This biographical tribute to Dr. Breggins work draws on more than half-a-century of media and more than 70 special contributions from his colleagues, as well as many other sources.
I have been blessed with the opportunity to carry out reform activities, to work with an increasing number of like-minded colleagues, and to publish dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books for the public and the profession over the course of my professional career. I have been especially fortunate to have my wife, Ginger, working with me for almost twenty-five years.
Developing the Harvard-Radcliffe College Volunteer Program
As a college student (1954-1958), I co-directed and helped to develop the Harvard-Radcliffe Mental Hospital Volunteer Program, including a case aide program in which individual students worked with their own hospitalized patients, many of whom were released as a result of the volunteer interventions. The program lasted for many years and originated a credit undergraduate seminar at Harvard. Our program was described and strongly supported by the President's Commission on Mental Health (1962). From the volunteer project, I co-authored my first book, College Students in a Mental Hospital (Umbarger et al., 1962). I then went to medical school with the intention of becoming a psychosocially oriented psychiatrist; but I had no idea how much the profession would turn wholly to the biological model and to drugs, electroshock and even psychosurgery.
Forming New Organizations
In 1972, I founded the Center for the Study of Psychiatry, which became unofficially known as the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology with a board of directors including psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, lawyers, consumers and several members of the U.S. Congress. After my wife Ginger joined me as Executive Director, the organization grew to have a large, active board of directors and an advisory council of several hundred members, plus a large general membership. It held annual meetings and sponsored a peer-reviewed journal, Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, published by Springer Publishing Company.
In 2002 my wife Ginger and I arranged for an orderly transition to new and younger leaders, and handed over complete authority for the running of the Center. In recent times, the Center has not met our expectations. Most of the national figures that I brought onto the board of directors and the advisory council are no longer associated with it and the membership has dwindled. In addition, we have had conflicts with the leaders over the direction of the Center. In April 2010, Ginger and I withdrew support from our old organization. We no longer have anything to do with it or with its conferences.
We have now set up a new organization that continues our focus on criticizing biopsychiatric theory and practice, but also places increased emphasis on caring and effective empathic therapeutic, educational and human service approaches (www.empathictherapy.org). We have organized a new annual Empathic Therapy Conference to be held in Syracuse, New York starting April 8-10, 2011.
Stopping the Resurgence of Lobotomy and Psychosurgery
After completing medical school, internship and three years of psychiatric residency training, I realized that psychiatry had become wholly committed to the biological model and to drugs and electroshock. I spent two years at NIMH working on building and staffing mental health centers and then in mental health education. Then I went into private practice with no plan for becoming an active reformer as I had been in college. Then in the early 1970s, I discovered that lobotomy and newer forms of psychosurgery were being advocated and even promoted throughout the world, including the United States, Canada and Europe. I was outraged and decided to conduct what became an international campaign that stopped the worldwide resurgence of lobotomy and psychosurgery on adults and children. Eventually all but a handful of projects around the world were forced to stop and all psychosurgery came to halt in federal and state institutions in the United Sates.
The anti-psychosurgery campaign was a major project, at times all-consuming, that required many hours of volunteer work per week for several years. The successful reform effort is described in a chapter in the War Against Children of Color (1998, coauthored by Ginger Breggin), and in the Special Topics section on this website under the topic of "Psychosurgery" as well as the topic of "Racism and Social Control. The book The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD vividly documents this campaign through extensive media quotations and many testimonials. "
As a part of my international effort to stop psychosurgery, I developed the following projects during the 1970s:
By the time it was over, my campaign had stopped most psychosurgery in the United States, Canada and Europe. I was especially grateful to see an end to the "research" of O. J. Andy at the University of Mississippi in Jackson who had operated on several dozen black children as young as age five, planting multiple electrodes into their brains to stimulate them and then to burn psychosurgical holes in their frontal lobes and limbic system. My efforts also stopped a similar surgery project on adults conducted in Boston by Harvard psychiatrist Frank Ervin and Harvard neurosurgeon Vernon Mark under the sponsorship of another Harvard neurosurgeon William Sweet.
Advocating Against Shock Treatment
In 1979 I published Electroshock: Its Brain-Disabling Effects. This was the first and remains the only medical book devoted to a critical analysis of this barbaric treatment. It has helped to support the anti-shock movement led largely by former mental patients and former victims of shock treatment. In 2008, Dr. Ursula Springer wrote a history of Springer Publishing Company in which she called the publication of my first medical book one of the highlights of her career. She described frightening encounters with shock doctors when she went as a publisher to medical meetings, including a threat to boycott her firm, which never developed. I continue to provide an isolated voice within psychiatry documenting the dangers of electroconvulsive therapy and calling for it to be abandoned.
I was the sole scientific presenter on the brain-damaging effects of shock treatment at the NIH Consensus Development Conference on ECT in 1985 and may have helped the panel recognize and report on some of the dangers associated with the treatment.
In 2005, I testified as the medical expert in the first trial in history in which a jury returned a malpractice verdict against a shock doctor in favor of the injured patient. It is a source of gratification that I have been the psychiatric expert in the first malpractice suits won against perpetrators of shock treatment and psychosurgery.
Publishing Psychiatric Drugs: Hazards to the Brain (1983) and Publicizing Tardive Dyskinesia
This was the first and only medical book devoted wholly to the dangers of psychiatric drugs to the brain and mind. Among other things, it alerted the profession to the danger of tardive dyskinesia in children, a subject that was almost entirely unacknowledged. Tardive dyskinesia is a potentially devastating neurological disorder with abnormal movements caused by neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs. It is discussed on the website.
The book also alerted the profession to the danger of dementia produced by longer-term exposure to neuroleptic drugs, a subject most psychiatrists still like to avoid.
Dan Rather built a TV feature around the book (he saw the manuscript before it was published and I was a consultant to the show). In part because of the book and the media attention I generated around it, the FDA felt compelled to respond by developing a new class label for TD for all of the antipsychotic drugs.
Tardive dyskinesia continues to be a main concern for me. Literally tens of millions of patients are suffering from this persistent, untreatable disorder that can vary from disfiguring to wholly disabling and agonizing. I have testified and consulted in dozens of successful tardive dyskinesia cases in the US and Canada. Among half-a-dozen adult TD cases that have gone trial in the US and Canada, the injured patients have won all but one, and the exception was a hung jury. Many others have been settled, sometimes for millions of dollars.
I believe that on the basis of the frequency and potential severity of tardive dyskinesia, the FDA should ban neuroleptic drugs. In addition, these drugs cause many other severe and often life-threatening disorders that further bolster the urgency to withdraw them from the market.
Stopping the Federal Violence Initiative
Working with my wife, Ginger, we led a campaign that caused the cancellation of a large multi-agency federal program to perform dangerous invasive experiments on inner-city children in search of supposed genetic and biochemical causes of violence (the violence initiative). Second only to my much earlier international campaign to stop psychosurgery, this was a major time-consuming project. It is described in The War Against Children of Color (P. and G. Breggin, 1998) and also on the website under "Racism and Social Control." A chapter in The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD is devoted to our successful campaign against the Federal Violence Initiative. Some related accomplishments include:
Disclosing the Role of Psychiatry In Nazi Germany
Before it was written about in the United States, I learned from a World War II soldier about his liberation of a state mental hospital that was being used for the extermination of mental patients even before the Holocaust had begun. The hospital was still actively killing and cremating its patients, even after the war was over in that part of Germany. I was able to research foreign documents and to travel to Germany with my friend Jeffrey Masson to look into archives on the extermination of mental patients. It turned out that biological psychiatry in Germany developed the theory and practice of massive "scientific" murder, including extermination centers, gassing and cremation. Furthermore, the Germans were sustained in their efforts by approval from key figures in British and American medicine and psychiatry.
I gave a formal
presentation on the subject at the first German conference on the
role of medicine in the Third Reich, and wrote both a popular article
and a scientific report on how the murder of mental patients was a
key step toward the murder of the Jews. When Jeffrey Masson and I
physically delivered my paper to the Holocaust Museum, the archives
reported that it was the first scientific documentation in their
possession about how the "euthanasia" program paved the way for
the wider extermination program. (The museum had failed to collect
earlier substantial documentation by German authors.) Within a few
years, books were published on the subject in the United States, but
without daring to make the direct connection between international
biological psychiatry and the Holocaust.
Alerting the Public and the Profession to the Dangers of the SSRI Antidepressants
I became the first psychiatrist to confront the profession and the public about the risks of violence and suicide from the new SSRI antidepressants, starting with Prozac. More than a decade ago, I began documenting many of the findings that the FDA now confirms about suicide and a general worsening of the condition of patients taking these drugs.
Defending America's Children from Psychiatric Diagnosing and Medicating
As my recent blogs and my many books confirm, advocating for children, and protecting them from psychiatric abuse, is a major theme of my work. Four of my books are devoted almost wholly to children's issues but most of the others focus on the issue as well, including chapters in my most recent books, Medication Madness (2008) and Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry (2008).
Within my limits, I have tried to monitor and at times stop unethical, hazardous experimental research on children, from the psychosurgery experiments in the 1970s to the widespread use of toxic adult drugs in the current psychiatric treatment of children.
Since 1991 in Toxic Psychiatry, I have tried to provide a basis of criticism of the supposed biological basis of ADHD and an analysis of potentially damaging effects of stimulant medication. Following my scientific testimony, many of my views and concerns were partially confirmed by the final report of the NIH Consensus Development Conference on The Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in November 1998.
I was among the first to criticize the escalating tendency to give psychiatric drugs to preschoolers. In 1998 my wife Ginger and I informed the International Narcotics Control Board about the drugging of children as young as two and soon after the World Health Organization agency issued a warning about it. In Talking Back to Ritalin (1998; Revised in 2001) I made one of the most thorough analyses of the dangers of these drugs in young children. In March 2000, in response to public outcry raised partly in response to our national educational efforts, the White House made a public statement showing concern about the medicating of preschoolers.
I was a consultant to the attorney who brought the original Ritalin Class Action Suit against the manufacturer, Novartis, as well as CHADD and the American Psychiatric Association. This first suit became a model for several others, although I did not participate any further in any of the class action suits. Unfortunately, the courts have rejected the class actions, but that does not rule out individual product liability suits.
I helped to motivate and inform state legislation, including Connecticut, limiting the power of teachers and school officials to discuss the use of medication and psychiatric diagnoses with the parents of children in their care.
Defining and Examining the Psychopharmaceutical Complex
Beginning with Toxic Psychiatry in 1991, I coined the term "the psychopharmaceutical complex." Since then I have spent considerable time and effort to demonstrate how the pharmaceutical industry dominates all psychiatric research, the American Psychiatric Association, the Food and Drug Administration, NIMH, medical education, insurance providers and basically the whole system of psychiatry and psychiatric drugs. I was among the earliest (but by no means the earliest) to point out the conflicts of interest between the drug companies and so-called experts in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. My most recent books continue to elaborate on the stranglehold that the drug companies and biological psychiatry have over mental health and psychological services.
The Brain-Disabling Principle of Psychiatric Treatment
Since my earliest books I have continued to develop the brain-disabling principle of psychiatric treatment. It states that all physical treatments in psychiatry—drugs, electroshock and psychosurgery—disable the brain and that none improve brain function. In the past year, I have added the theory of medication spellbinding (technically, intoxication anosognosia) which helps to explain why so many people take so many different kinds of psychoactive drugs despite the fact that they cause more harm than good. Physical interventions that disrupt brain function, including all psychiatric drugs, tend to hide their damaging mental and emotional effects from the injured individual, making the medicated person unable to detect the adverse effects or to properly identify them as caused by the drug. Some people end up believing that they are doing better than ever when they are doing worse, and a number end up committing acts of suicide, violence or criminality that would ordinarily have appalled them if the had been drug-free.
While each of these critiques and reform projects was initially considered highly controversial, and while each was frequently opposed by organized psychiatry, most are now accepted as rational and ethical by medicine in general. Here are some examples of the change that my work has contributed to:

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Five things to look for as Penn State tries to win its third straight overall and its Big Ten opener against an Illinois team coming off a blowout loss at home to Louisiana Tech.
No. 1: Finish drives
The Nittany Lions should be able to move the ball on the Illini defense, which hasn't blitzed much and has a subpar secondary, but they have to be efficient in the red zone and not let scoring chances slip away.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn?State tight end Matt Lehman (84) congratulates receiver Allen Robinson on his 41-yard touchdown reception against Temple. Although Illinois has a struggling defense, the Illini tighten things up when the opponent is inside the red zone.
The 2007 trip to Illinois comes to mind, when Anthony Morelli and the PSU offense did well all day between the 20s but made mistake after mistake in the red zone and lost, 27-20. Penn State can't afford that today in what should be a close game.
Quarterback Matt McGloin is playing the best ball of his career - smart, restrained, under control - and the short passing scheme with underneath throws to Allen Robinson, Brandon Moseby-Felder and tight end Kyle Carter should pay off against this kind of defense.
The Lions also have a healthy stable of running backs once again with Bill Belton and Derek Day returning, so coach Bill O'Brien has all of his offensive weapons in place.
First downs and sustained drives shouldn't be a problem. Scoring from inside the 20 could be, however, as Illinois tightens things up and relies more on its solid front seven.
No. 2: PSU's protection
Illinois does have a very good defensive line - the best PSU has faced so far - and Penn State's guys up front will have to play well to protect McGloin.
There has been some controversy in the Illinois camp this week with defensive tackle Akeem Spence questioning why the team isn't blitzing more. The Illini have relied on their front four for basically the entire pass rush, and that hasn't been working.
It probably won't work today, either, because McGloin will be getting rid of the ball quickly on the short routes.
But if Illinois switches things up and does blitz, it will be up to the offensive line to provide time. Left tackle Donovan Smith will be in the spotlight in that regard as he's coming back from an ankle injury and will have to be effective to protect McGloin's weak side.
No. 3: Ficken, again
It might seem like picking on the young man to bring him up each week, but now is the time the place-kicker will have to start becoming more reliable.
Most Big Ten games are close, and a made or missed field goal is magnified even more. The point spread on this game is PSU by 1 point, which means it's essentially a pick 'em, and a field goal could decide things, as it did last year when Illinois had a tying kick hit off the upright as time expired in a 10-7 Lion win.
No. 4: Illini reaction
Illinois was embarrassed by Louisiana Tech, 52-24, and its players could go one of two ways today. They could either be fired up after the humiliating loss and come out and play great, or they could be sulking and basically quit if things start to go against them early.
The latter would be great for Penn State, but there are some good, prideful kids on the Illinois side who will be eager to come out strong following the humbling loss.
Penn State's kids will be fired up over the whole Illinois recruiting issue, but they need to be prepared for the Illini to be angry, as well.
No. 5: Player to watch
Can Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase pass the ball well enough to take advantage of Penn State's questionable secondary (and just because the defensive backs had success against Navy and Temple didn't prove anything, given how poorly those teams throw).
Scheelhaase is a terrific athlete, but he's coming off an ankle injury that might prevent him from being able to take off and run like he enjoys doing. He's also not a prototypical pocket passer, so if he's confined there, it would bode well for the Lions.
Penn State's offense should have a good day, but the outcome could be decided on how well Scheelhaase and the Illini perform against the Lions' defense.
Prediction: Penn State 24, Illinois 20

A man who allegedly shot a woman multiple times is dead after a standoff with police in Jimtown Tuesday.
West Virginia State Police and the Randolph County Sheriff's Department responded to a residence in Coalton after being notified that a woman who had been shot twice called 911 at 2 p.m.
According to reports, police engaged in a standoff with the shooting suspect at a home in Jimtown at about 6:15 p.m. As the suspect exited the house with a weapon, he was fatally wounded by the police, 1st Sgt. Michael Baylous of the West Virginia State Police said.

West Virginia State Police troopers retrieve assault rifles from their cruisers as they prepare to look for a suspect who allegedly shot a woman twice on Tuesday. Officers responded to a home in Coalton, but the suspect had reportedly already fled the scene. The suspect was shot and killed by police following a standoff at a residence in Jimtown.

Police collect evidence, including witness reports and a Dodge Neon, on the scene in Coalton after a shooting victim was transported by a medical helicopter.
Police spent the afternoon piecing together what happened and locating the alleged shooter.
Five state police cruisers were on the scene at about 2:30 p.m. at a green and white trailer in Coalton near Broadway Avenue, where it was reported the victim called 911. One person was taken from the home and placed into a Randolph County Emergency Squad ambulance. A landing zone for a Life Flight emergency transport helicopter was set up in a field across the road from Coalton Elementary School by the Coalton Volunteer Fire Department.
Communications from the Randolph County 911 Center reported that the victim had been shot twice, once in the back of the head and once in the "lower flank" near the kidneys.
Police were seen talking with several people gathered at the home who began pointing to the main road leading away from Coalton. Several troopers then went to their vehicles and retrieved large, assault-type weapons from the trunks. Two cruisers, each carrying two officers, then left in the direction indicated by residents.
People gathered on the scene reported that the suspect fled the Coalton residence on an ATV before police arrived. They also reported the victim drove herself to the residence after being shot.
According to a Randolph County deputy on scene, the alleged shooter was at the Jimtown residence and police were "working to bring him into custody."
Flatbed truck operators with Bill's Auto were seen at the Coalton residence loading a green Dodge Neon with windows that looked to have been broken out. One of the operators told The Inter-Mountain he was picking up the car on behalf of the State Police.
Around 5:30 p.m., an Inter-Mountain reporter saw several troopers and deputies parked along Jimtown Road. The officers were visibly armed and appeared to be searching for someone. There were also police cruisers along the Coalton-Mabie road and near the main road near "Punkintown Hill."
Around 6:15 p.m. scanner traffic stated, "He is down inside the house," and an ambulance was requested to come to the scene.
Further details, including the names of the victim and the suspect, were not immediately released, and information on the victim's health was unavailable at presstime.
Randolph County Schools Superintendent Dr. James Phares said Coalton Elementary School was placed on lockdown around 2:10 p.m. and remained on lockdown until around 3:15 p.m., when local law enforcement said it was safe to release the students.
"It was reported to us there was an unapprehended suspect in the neighborhood," Phares said. "All the kids were safe. The shooting was not in close proximity to the school."
Phares said the school's crisis management plan was put into effect as soon as the principal knew of the situation.

A proposed landlord-tenant registration ordinance going before City Council next month is expected to spark debate over privacy and whether government can force those signing leases and those who provide rental units to register their names and addresses at City Hall.
Mayor Gabriel J. Campana says the proposed law would give guidelines to landlords and tenants and assist emergency personnel, including police officers, firefighters and codes officials.
But privacy advocates claim it may be uneasy for those who have gone through domestic abuse and perhaps may be unconstitutional to make someone sign his or her name or address for a stranger in government.
"We're in an age when there is no privacy any more and someone savvy enough or who pays a small fee can access data on most people," said police Capt. Timothy Miller, who has been asked by Campana to research case law in preparation for the presentation to council committees.
It is likely the ordinance first will be seen by council's public safety committee.
"Nobody questions the motives when bankers ask for private and personal records from prospective homeowners applying for loans or refinancing mortgages," Miller said.
"The mayor may not be as secure as a bank," said Marycatherine Roper, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Philadelphia. "The difference is, you have a choice if you want to buy a home. You don't have a choice if you want to live in this municipality as to whether you give information to this municipality.
"We have had problems with tenant registration ordinances in the past. The trouble has been for requirements of victims of domestic violence and others who have reason not to want their names or addresses listed," she said.
"Victims of domestic abuse and their advocates can be assured that unstable people will not have access to information," Campana said. "I am confident the legislation brought forth will be constitutional."
Examples of proof of identification could be a Social Security number, driver's license, passport or birth certificate.
"It's no different than what the Department of Public Welfare requires when someone applies for public assistance," Miller said.
Campana also believes the law will prevent those individuals with a propensity to commit crimes or have a criminal record from leasing.
Council may not have viewed the proposed law, but the vetting process has begun.
'A huge bureaucracy'
"Until I see it, my gut sense is, it's a huge bureaucracy to put in place," said Council President Bill Hall. "To track people down in terms of where they are living in rental properties would be a huge undertaking."
"I appreciate the lengths to address privacy issues and the initial concerns brought up by landlords," Councilman Randall J. Allison said.
"We have seen similar ordinances in cities across the state that have faced legal challenges in various levels of the courts," Councilman Don Noviello said. "As always, I say, 'The devil remains in the details,' but we have seen abuses by landlords and I believe it can benefit the city in terms of police protection, neighborhood improvement and tax collection."
Councilwoman Bonnie Katz supports efforts to more accurately count those who need to pay taxes.
"I have reviewed similar ordinances in Sunbury and Berwick," she said.
Other challenges
Miller anticipates legal challenges other than privacy matters. He said the state Superior Court decided in Berwick who was responsible for disorderly tenants' behavior - the tenants or the landlords.
"Tenants were to be cited, not the landlords, for bad behavior of those who rent, but landlords were responsible for maintaining properties and assuring tenants are not destructive to property.
"The judges ruled (that) landlords can't stand in the shoes of tenants," Miller said.
Miller said these and other issues are sure to arise and that is why he is working with a local attorney on the proposed ordinance.
"Today, we can go five times to a report of a problem tenant, and each time, if they pay the citations, they can start their bad behavior all over again," Miller said.
Under the regulations, when tenants receive a lease, they will get a copy of the rules and regulations so they can't claim they have no knowledge of it, Miller said.
Councilman Jonathan Williamson, Councilwoman Liz Miele and Councilman N. Clifford "Skip" Smith, chairman of the public safety committee, declined comment before they get a look at the proposed ordinance.

No drama here – well, at least not yet!
Though Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj were just confirmed to be judges on American Idol's upcoming 12th season alongside Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson, the Internet is already abuzz with rumors of an on-set feud. Too many divas on the panel, perhaps?
"How can we feud in two days? I think a feud takes a little longer," Carey, who confirmed her participation on the show in July, told reporters at a press conference in New York on Monday, shooting down rumors of discord.
For her part, Minaj says she's just happy to be there, telling reporters, "It's wonderful, darling," when asked how she liked being on the show so far.
Added Jackson: "We're having fun, dude. We've been having a good time. There has been a lot of laughs."
"It's music," said Carey. "It's singing. It's laughter."
If anything, the talent suggested (jokingly), there could be simmering tensions between longtime host Ryan Seacrest and veteran judge Jackson.
"Randy will not share his mirror, and I've never seen that side of him before," quipped Seacrest, when asked who takes the longest to get ready. "It's causing friction between you and I."
A source close to production tells PEOPLE the three new judges are slowly but surely settling into their new roles.
On the first day of auditions in New York, one contestant drove Urban under the judges' table, while Minaj has provided the comic relief, keeping the panel laughing with her bubbly personality, says the source.
Off-camera, Carey, who the source says has been spot-on with her contestant critiques so far, has herself been singing in the judges' room.

The Faith Sellers Senior Center was transformed into a tropical oasis April 25 as a thank you to volunteers.
In 2013, 226 volunteers donated 16,526 hours to the Dorchester Seniors, Inc., senior centers in Summerville and St. George. Last Friday the organization hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon to celebrate its volunteers.
The volunteers perform a variety of duties within the organization, including providing transportation and home care.
According to Susan Seay, volunteer coordinator, Dorchester Seniors served 24,204 group dining meals and 56,640 home delivered meals, drove 278,102 transportation miles and provided 10,061 homecare hours during 2013 all thanks to the volunteers.
The luncheon served in their honor featured tropical-themed decorations, entertainment and lunch.
Several key members of Dorchester Seniors offered their thanks to the volunteers, including Board of Directors President Robert Ford.
Anybody can give money, its easy to give money, but giving time is a sacrifice, so thank you, Ford said. We look forward to seeing you next year.

LOCKPORT – Nancy L. Smith, Niagara County Democratic elections commissioner since 2000, is changing jobs with her deputy, Lora A. Allen.
Smith said she will serve as deputy commissioner only until she turns 55 in April and can begin collecting her state pension.
She is fully vested in the pension fund, having been county auditor and private secretary to the mayor of Lockport before coming to the Board of Elections.
The County Legislature received Allen's appointment Tuesday, after its approval by the county Democratic Committee Monday night.
Allen, of Niagara Falls, becomes the first African-American woman to serve as an election commissioner in Niagara County.
Asked if she sought to supplant Smith, Allen said, "Absolutely not. I never seek anything … Nancy Smith has been an integral part of the Board of Elections for years. I think it's a good move that she's staying for a while."
Smith said, "Lora treated me fairly."
Asked if Democratic Committee Chairman Nicholas J. Forster treated her fairly, Smith said, "He's letting me stay until April."
The Democratic Committee had held off on renominating Smith for more than a month after the contentious Oct. 1 party reorganization meeting that elected Forster as party chairman.
Smith, of Lockport, eventually was renominated in November, but the Republican majority in the Legislature refused to act on her renomination in December.
That move placed Smith's nomination on hold for 30 days, but the Democratic caucus, which could have installed Smith by itself after the 30 days ran out, did not do so. Smith has been serving as a holdover.
No vote was needed Tuesday, County Attorney Claude A. Joerg said. "After 30 days, they can appoint whoever they want," he said.
Forster said the Democrats were up against a deadline to fill the position. "The language in the Election Law says you can't submit the same name again," Forster said.
Smith was criticized by some in both parties for the firing of former North Tonawanda Mayor Lawrence V. Soos from a part-time clerkship at the Board of Elections the day after Soos blasted Forster at the Oct. 1 party reorganization meeting.
A document that the county Human Resources Department submitted to the state Labor Department, which at first denied Soos' unemployment benefits, asserted that Soos had been assigned to go to the Democratic meeting in his county capacity. That appears to have been erroneous.
The Republicans held a closed-door inquiry to question Smith about that incident, which led Soos to threaten to sue the county until he finally received his jobless benefits.
"Maybe it took some muckraking by the majority caucus [to get Smith out of office]," said Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda.
"Paul Wojtaszek doesn't know what he's talking about," Forster said.

Disney signs on with J.C. Penney to open children's shops in its stores next fall
J.C. Penney Co. plans to open Disney children's boutiques in its stores next fall.
Women's Wear Daily got a jump on the story and reported this morning that at least 520 Penney stores will be getting the shops in time for next year's back-to-school season.
While Penney and other major retailers including Wal-Mart, Macy's and Kohl's sell Disney licensed products, the goods stocked in Penney's Disney shops will be made by Disney Consumer Products exclusively for Penney and its own Disney stores and theme parks.
Penney chief merchant Liz Sweney told fashion industry publication WWD that the 750-to-1,100 square foot shops "will command prominent space."
The Disney shops will sell costumes, plush toys, figurines, footwear, sleepwear, underwear, backpacks, lunch totes and apparel for boys, girls and babies. The products will also be sold on jcp.com.
Disney operates 200 stores in the U.S. Its stores in the Dallas area are at NorthPark Center in Dallas, Stonebriar Centre in Frisco, Hulen Mall in Fort Worth. There's also a Disney store outlet at Grapevine Mills.
Other children's shops coming will be branded by Carter's and Giggle. This month, Penney added children's apparel to stores and online designed by Cynthia Rowley and Tori Spelling. The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday that Dallas-based Haggar and Levi Strauss' Dockers are each getting men's apparel shops in Penney's stores next spring.
Penney stores started adding shops in August as part of CEO Ron Johnson's plan to become a specialty department store fill with 100 branded shops and category boutiques. Penney started adding Sephora shops in its stores in the mid-2000s followed by MNG by Mango women's contemporary apparel shops and those have been successful. But Wall Street turned skeptical after Penney reported 20 percent decline in sales through July and lowered its expectations for the rest of the year.

A top National Rifle Association official apologized Tuesday for the suggestion that a Texas gun rights group scale back its "open carry" demonstrations.
Chris W. Cox, the executive director of the NRA's lobbying and policy arm, said the NRA should not have scolded Open Carry Texas as "downright weird" in a Friday posting. During a Tuesday interview on the NRA's Internet TV channel, Mr. Cox blamed the media for advancing the idea that there was a rift within the gun rights world and said the NRA supports open-carry efforts.
Open Carry Texas supporters are known for carrying large rifles into restaurants, stores and other public spaces –drawing widespread attention, and also leading some chains including Starbucks and Chipotle to ask that customers not being guns into their stores.

"The truth is an alert went out that referred to this type of behavior as weird or somehow not normal, and that was a mistake," Mr. Cox said. "It shouldn't have happened and I've had a discussion with the staffer who wrote that piece and expressed his personal opinion. And our job isn't to criticize the lawful behavior of fellow gun owners. … So this is a distraction and certainly the media has had a field day with it."
On Friday the NRA posted an unsigned story that suggested Open Carry Texas's tactics are hurting the greater gun-rights cause. Then it wrote:
"Let's not mince words, not only is it rare, it's downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one's cause, it can be downright scary.
The issue, Mr. Cox said Tuesday, is one of "tactics," not of end goals.
"We can have disagreements on tactics but what we can't have are disagreements on underlying principles," he said.
The NRA, Mr. Cox said, "unequivocally" supports efforts for open- and concealed-carry laws.
"It's a distraction, there was some confusion, we apologize for any confusion," he said. "But we're going to focus on our job which is to win and effectuate positive policy changes."

Recently the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation Board of Trustees authorized a grant payable to the Tucker Community Foundation in the amount of $75,000 to establish The Potomac Highlands Food and Farm Initiative.
"The Benedum Foundation supports efforts to increase more locally produced foods into the marketplace which results in economic growth throughout West Virginia," Mary Hunt-Lieving, senior program officer for the Benedum Foundation, said.
"This project will impact multiple levels of the community including local producers, schools, and restaurants," Rob Burns, executive director of the Tucker Community Foundation, said. "This grant allows the foundation to continue its mission of creating opportunities for people in our region to create stronger communities, healthier lives and greater economic diversity."
A year in development, the PHFFI will focus on expanding production and sales of locally produced foods and promoting culinary tourism in West Virginia by:
"The region is rich in value-added food and farm products," Diane Hinkle, development director for the Tucker Community Foundation, said. "We hope this success will attract additional funding for related programs and projects that could further impact community and economic development in our region."
Jennifer Poling, WVU Extension Service agent for Tucker County, said, "We are quickly approaching a turning point in the way West Virginia views food and its relationship to our health and daily living, so this project is coming along at the perfect time."
"West Virginia has a very strong heritage in locally-grown food, and the interest in renewing this economy is growing every day, especially in our region," Poling said. "We're really looking forward to how PHFFI will help connect people and food in many ways."
The Potomac Highlands Food and Farm Initiative is a collaborative project developed primarily by the Tucker Community Foundation, Tucker County Extension Services, Tucker County Development Authority and the Tucker County Convention Visitors Bureau.
Stakeholders providing support for the initiative include the West Virginia Food and Farm Coalition, Tygart Valley Growers Association, WesMonTy Resource Conservation and Development Project, Tucker County High School Greenhouse Project, Canaan Valley Institute, Rolling Thunder Farm, several local businesses, community developers and many other interested individuals.
The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation has served West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania since 1944, encouraging human development through education, economic development, health and human services, and community development in the region.

The Coastal Cupboard will hold its semi-annual Charity Knife Sharpening Event Friday, Nov. 1 through Sunday, Nov. 3 at its Mount Pleasant Belle Hall Shopping Center location at 644-J Long Point Road. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Prad Bitner, owner of the store invites everyone in the Charleston area to get their straight-edged knives professionally sharpened for only a $1 donation per knife, where every dollar will benefit The Charleston Basket Brigade (CBB).
During the event guests may enjoy free gourmet food tastings, knife demonstrations and enter a charity raffle to win cutlery sets, cooking classes at The Coastal Cupboard and more. Doc Crombie from Doc Crombie's BBQ will also be serving up his famous barbecue sauces and new line of steak and hot sauces. The store will also host two book signings on Saturday, Nov. 2 with cookbook authors Gena Knox and Carey Morey.
"We love the Basket Brigade's mission and are thrilled to support them again this year at the knife sharpening event," said Pitner. "It is a perfect time to get your knives sharpened with the holiday season right around the corner; and you're simultaneously giving people in our community the gift of a Thanksgiving meal."
The Charleston Basket Brigade is a local nonprofit organization with a commitment to bring the community together to provide Charleston Tri-County families with all of the ingredients to cook a Thanksgiving meal. This year the CBB has set a goal to raise $100,000 to feed 20,000 residents (Approximately 3,333 families) for Thanksgiving. It only takes $30 to feed a family of 6-8 and 100 percent of the donations go toward purchasing food. The meal includes a 10-12 pound turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, cranberry sauce, a pumpkin pie, fresh rolls and butter. Each family receives an anonymous letter inside the basket that reads "This comes to you from someone who cares about you. All we ask is that you take care of yourself well enough to be able to do this for someone else one day." Then on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, the Basket Brigade rallies up hundreds of volunteers to assemble and deliver all of the meals to each and every family.
Pam Hartley, co-founder of The Charleston Basket Brigade said, "We are so grateful to be a beneficiary for this great event again this year. Our mission is simple and heartfelt, we just want to lend a helping hand to our neighbors and give them a great Thanksgiving experience that they would otherwise not have."
During the Charity Knife Sharpening Event on Saturday, Nov. 2, The Coastal Cupboard will host two book signings. Gena Knox, national food writer, cookbook author and CEO of Fire & Flavor, will be at the store from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Knox is the author of award winning cookbook "Gourmet Made Simple," which offers fresh healthy dishes and with some recipes featuring plank grilling, and her Best Seller "Southern My Way," which features recipes from her childhood with a healthy twist. Later in the afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m., Charleston's own Carrie Morey, owner of Callie's Charleston Biscuits, will meet with guests and sign her nationally acclaimed cookbook "Callie's Biscuits and Southern Traditions" that shares some of her heirloom recipes from the family kitchen.
For more details plus tips on ways to transport your knives safely to and from the event, visit www.TheCoastalCupboard.com or the store's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/TheCoastalCupboard.

Mason Bates
The music of Mason Bates fuses innovative orchestral writing, imaginative narrative forms, the harmonies of jazz and the rhythms of techno. Frequently performed by orchestras large and small, his symphonic music has been the first to receive widespread acceptance for its expanded palette of electronic sounds, and it is championed by leading conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Leonard Slatkin. He has become a visible advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, whether through institutional partnerships such as his residency with the Chicago Symphony, or through his classical/DJ project Mercury Soul, which has transformed spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people.
Carnegie Hall's 2012-13 season opens with Riccardo Muti leading the Chicago Symphony in Alternative Energy, an 'energy symphony' that spans four movements and hundreds of years. Premiered last season to rave reviews, the work subsequently toured California and receives its Canadian premiere in February by the Toronto Symphony. A new violin concerto for Anne Akiko Meyers and the Pittsburgh Symphony premieres in December under the baton of Leonard Slatkin, and the Pittsburgh Symphony will perform many of Bates' works as he serves as Composer of the Year.
This season, the Houston Ballet premieres a major new ballet to The B-Sides, a dance suite that drops into five surreal landscapes that has been performed around the country since its San Francisco Symphony premiere. And the Phoenix Symphony presents two of his works this season — Desert Transport, which conjures a helicopter trip over the Arizona landscape, and a new song cycle for soprano and orchestra. While Bates often performs the electronica onstage with orchestras, dozens of repeat performances of his symphonic music happen without him – demonstrating how electronics can act as a new section in the orchestra with little logistical effort. A good example is Mothership, which premiered at the Sydney Opera House by the YouTube Symphony to an online audience of 1.8 million: it will appear on symphonic programs across the country this season.
Many purely acoustic works complement his diverse catalogue, such as Sirens, an a cappella work touring with the superstar chorus Chanticleer. The solo piano work White Lies for Lomax, commissioned by Tanglewood Music Center, won the Van Cliburn Composers Invitational and is heard regularly on recitals. A new string quartet premiered by the Del Sol Quartet at the 2012 Cabrillo Festival receives its Bay Area premiere this December. A great deal of his music has been performed by the musicians of Young Concert Artists, the acclaimed New York organization where he served as composer-in-residence.
Bringing classical music to new audiences is a central part of Bates' activities as a curator, be it through residencies with institutions such as the Chicago Symphony's MusicNOW series, or in alternative spaces with Mercury Soul. A collaboration with director Anne Patterson and Maestro Benjamin Shwartz, Mercury Soul embeds sets of classical music into a fluid evening of DJing and immersive stagecraft. Sold-out performances from San Francisco's famed Mezzanine club to Miami's New World Symphony have brought a new vision of the listening experience to widespread audiences, and this season it returns to Chicago's Metro with members of the Chicago Symphony, as well as to Pittsburgh's Static.

A high-profile Charleston bank executive is accused of playing a key role in an alleged plot to kill his wife so he wouldn't have to split up the property in a divorce settlement.
Chris Latham has not been charged with a crime, but a civil complaint filed Monday in the Court of Common Pleas in Charleston alleges that he and his personal assistant masterminded an attempt to kill Nancy Latham, a state lottery commission official who is also active in the community.
The complaint alleges that Chris Latham and his assistant, Wendy Moore, contacted her ex-husband to come from Kentucky and kill Nancy Latham.
The complaint alleges that Moore was also Chris Latham's lover. Nancy Latham makes the same allegation in her divorce papers.
The civil complaint will allow attorneys to obtain cellphones, computers or other electronic devices that Chris Latham and Moore might have used to communicate, attorney Matthew Yelverton said.
Nancy Latham also filed the complaint because she was outraged that the alleged plot endangered not only her but also her children, Yelverton said.
Nancy Latham has been in hiding because of the threats, according to the complaint, and is asking for a jury trial to seek unspecified damages for emotional distress.
Moore, 37, of Sullivan's Island; her ex-husband, Samuel Arthur Yenawine, 38, of Louisville, Ky.; and Yenawine's former cellmate, Aaron Russell Wilkinson, 39, also of Louisville, have been charged with conspiracy and travel in interstate commerce with the intent to commit murder and aiding and abetting. They also are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Officers on Thursday searched Chris Latham's rental house on Sullivan's Island and have not announced any charges against him.
Charleston attorney Stephen Schmutz, who represents Chris Latham, said he had not seen the civil suit and didn't want to comment. He also said he had nothing to add about the criminal investigation.
"There hasn't been an allegation or a charge against my client, so there is nothing to discuss," he said.
Schmutz added he found it interesting the media knew about the lawsuit before his client had been served.
When Moore was married to Yenawine, she owned an adult-entertainment business in Louisville called Brooke and Wendy Modeling.
After fatally stabbing a bouncer, Yenawine served 10 years in prison, where he met Wilkinson.
According to her attorney, Moore has been living with her two children at a Sullivan's Island rental home.
The complaint alleges that Chris Latham and Moore contacted Yenawine to "murder Nancy Latham along with anyone else in her company at the time of the murder attempt."
Wilkinson told investigators that he asked Yenawine if Wilkinson could kill Latham with somebody else in her car and Yenawine said yes, "it will look better," according to a court affidavit.
The alleged plot to kill Nancy Latham came to light April 5 when Charleston police pulled over Wilkinson on a traffic violation and he told them he had been hired to kill Nancy Latham.
Wilkinson told investigators he was working with Yenawine. He also said Moore gave Yenawine money and promised him more when the job was done.
The complaint also alleges that Latham got "John/Jane Doe(s)" to cash checks for him to get money for the conspiracy. No other details are given. Criminal investigators have not mentioned this allegation.
Chris Latham, a Bank of America executive, is vice president of Spoleto Festival USA and on the board of directors of the Trident Technical College Foundation.
Nancy Latham of Mount Pleasant is treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission and a real-estate agent on Isle of Palms.
The divorce also dragged S.C. Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell into the battle. In court papers, Chris Latham accused Harrell of trying to influence the outcome of the divorce in his wife's favor.
A judge found no improper attempt to influence the judiciary by either Harrell or his wife.
Cathy Harrell was to testify on Nancy Latham's behalf in the divorce. Harrell acknowledged ordering extra security at his West Ashley house because he was concerned for the safety of his wife.

We did not make much progress in the adoption "paperwork." We are still waiting on a meeting to take place that will have significant effects on our case. I do not kow when this will be but please remember it in your prayers.
This week I also got to feel Ugandan. I have been feeling "Ugandan" for a while now but I think I was missing one experience that was truely African. Malaria. Yes, I have been in the bed sick with malaria and a bacterial infection. I have had the joy of going to the clinic, having lab work done, and receiving IV fluids and antibiotics. I will say that going to the doctor here was much more pleasant than the dr. in Russia. Being sick with two three year olds running around has not been fun. I keep reminding myself "this too shall pass."
The girls have been well behaved while mommy has been out of commission. The staff at the house has helped me out a lot with them. They have been my nannys and without them I am not sure I would have survived this week.
Even though it was rough it was also good. This week I have been reminded of how much my God protects me. How much He comforts me. I have had to lean on Him this week and seek my comfort in Him. And that has made it a good week.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

A fatal flaw in cheese making that you could be causing
A fatal flaw in cheese making that you could be causing
Black spot defect is known as a fatal flaw in cheese making. These minute flecks of black in aged cheeses mean serious devaluation of cheese. They are formed because of the metallic nature of compounds that find their way into the milk line. The likely cause is poor removal of internal teat sealants. These internal teat sealants are hydrophobic, too, so they stick to our stainless steel milk lines and processing equipment. Scott Rankin from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Keith Engle with GEA Farm Technologies discussed the issue during the recent meeting of Wisconsin dairy plant field representatives.
Pictured are foam brushes if you must manually clean meters and the foam sponge if you need to manually remove it from larger areas such as receiver jars.
Internal teat sealants can dramatically reduce mastitis during the dry period and early in lactation. However, making sure teats are thoroughly cleaned out is essential."Prevention in administration and removal is definitely key, along with using milk filters while washing," Engel says. Be sure to pinch the very top of the teat when administering the sealant and when removing it. When removing, be sure to strip each teat 10 to 15 times before attaching the milking unit. If some does enter the milk line, it isn't easy to clean out. A very simple foam sponge is probably your best bet.
