Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in H-town.
After the fog burns off, today will be a lot like Monday.
There are areas of dense fog across Houston this morning, and as it clears it will give way to a mostly cloudy day, with temperatures again rising into the upper 70s or 80 degrees.
Officially the city reached 79 degrees on Monday, and if it hits 80 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport it would be the first time since Dec. 4.
Conditions will remain much as they've been — warm and muggy — until Thursday afternoon or evening when the next cold front moves through. There's a chance of at least scattered rain with the front, say forecasters with the National Weather Service.
This should push overnight lows back into the 40s for a few nights, and keep high temperatures around 70 degrees through the weekend with mostly cloudy skies.
While Houston should get some more weak fronts, it does not appear like we're going to cool back down into the 30s this month in Houston.
Warmer and muggy
Starting to feel a lot like
Houston once again.
On this date last year an EF-1 tornado touched down near Shepherd, Texas, damaging a home and garage and destroying a barn.

The Apple TV 3 jailbreak isn't out yet, but FireCore, the maker of Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV, has just shared some info on the status of this jailbreak:
jailbreak for apple tv 3
Fans of the Apple TV who prefer to make their own rules have been waiting patiently for news of a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3. But while JailbreakCon 2012 had a lot to offer for many, fans of the Apple TV were left with very few hard facts. There were obviously no demonstrations of any new jailbreak, and nitoTV had even less information to share on future availability.
Remember last week when pod2g tweeted that neither he nor anyone he knows of was working on the Apple TV 3 jailbreak? We asked you to cool down and to never lose a hope since we knew there were people working on this. The confirmation that the work is ongoing on this particular jailbreak came from 9to5Mac, as they have learned that "a jailbreak for the third-generation Apple TV is indeed in the works from someone with close knowledge of the project":
iOS hacker and Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced on his Twitter that he is not working on Apple TV 3 jailbreak. Even worse, according to his recent tweet, no one he's aware of is working on this jailbreak:
You know the story: p0sixninja left the Chronic Dev Team after selling iBoot 0day exploit to an (ex?)Apple employee (more details here). There was a lot of speculations on whether or not the iBoot exploit could have been used to jailbreak Apple TV 3.
Work on Apple TV 3 jailbreak is still in progress, according to FireCore. Although the company is working hard on this long-awaited jailbreak, the SeasOnPass and aTV Flash maker admitted on its blog that the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 "has proven to be a bit elusive up to this point."

The Special Report on Hunger in Illinois unveiled the fact that over the next ten years, $40 billion will be cut from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). I say, good, and please cut more!
Before you call me uncompassionate, hear me out. People do not need money to be fed. People need food to be fed. Instead of funding Link cards, SNAP can fund garden-kitchen food banks where people can produce and preserve their own food at fractions of what food costs at the grocery store.
This idea requires lots of work—which is perfect. The lots of work can be provided by employing the unemployed, and payment comes in the form of food products and education in production and preservation of food. Why would someone work for food at a garden-kitchen food bank when he can be given SNAP dollars to spend on food at the grocery store? He wouldn't! Only if we cut SNAP dollars, will this idea work.
Garden-kitchen food banks provide work, food, and pride to the unemployed and the food insecure. Because I wholeheartedly believe in the in the value of self-sufficiency, I say, LET'S GROW OUR OWN!

Caroline, now the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, has released a video honoring her mother and called her a "great role model."
"My mother was a woman of tremendous courage," says Caroline in the video released for Mother's Day. "She worked very hard to do her best every day of her life, whether it was in raising her children, being First Lady or working as a book editor."
Even more poignant is a look back at how her son, John F. Kennedy Jr., paid tribute to her after her death on May 19, 1994.
To the mourners gathered outside of her Manhattan apartment, John announced that she had died "surrounded by her friends, her family, her books and the things she loved. She did it in her own way and on her own terms."
On Monday, Clint Hill, 82, the Secret Service Agent who watched over her in the White House and later wrote the book Mrs. Kennedy and Me, remembered her as "a wonderful, dynamic individual and a dedicated mother."
"In the White House, she wanted her children treated as normally as possible," says Hill. "She was determined they grow up to be wonderful young adults and they did."

A tremendous number of home water treatment products are available on the market. Please review the purchase tips page for assistance in deciding what type of product is right for you.
Always begin by consulting your local water agency to get accurate information water quality information.
Simple home water treatment systems, such as a point-of-use filter, are available at many hardware, building supply, or plumbing stores. Larger and more expensive systems such as water softeners or reverse osmosis systems are available from specific dealers. Information on most water treatment technologies is available through web searches.
Be cautious of over-eager treatment system salesmen. Remember there is no single test to determine if water is safe. Though most water treatment dealers can provide free in-home or laboratory tests, the tests normally are for nuisance contaminants such as hardness, pH, iron, manganese, sulfur and total dissolved solids. Occasionally a dealer also may test for nitrate. Seldom does any test include all the contaminants covered by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) standards.
Some salespersons conduct on-site demonstrations they may refer to as "tests". These demonstrations typically cause precipitates to form in the water, or cause color changes to occur. Though dramatic with hard water or iron, they are generally meaningless in quantifying how much contaminant is present. But the salespersons may try to convince potential buyers these are good reasons to purchase their water treatment equipment. Buyers should insist upon confirmation from an independent source before investing in equipment or water treatment services.

Little musicians and music lovers can make music and build with Billy Beats Dancing Piano, part of the MEGA Bloks First Builders line of toys. Billy includes eight First Builders blocks and eight pre-programmed songs. There are three modes of play. In Dance Along mode, kids press one of the eight colorful piano keys to hear a song and watch Billy dance. In Learn to Play, kids press the piano keys as they light up to play a song. When the song is complete, the whole song will play and Billy will dance. In Discover Music mode, kids can press the piano keys to hear individual notes played so that kids can make up their own song.
There are also eight music sheet stickers that parents can apply to the blocks. Place a block on top of Billy Beats and play the song by matching the colored notes to the colored piano keys. Songs include "Three Blind Mice", "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider", and more.
Kids can also change the sounds they hear when they press the piano keys. There is Classic Piano, which sounds like a real piano, but kids can also choose Animal Sounds to make each piano key play a different animal sound and Funky DJ to make each piano key play a different DJ sound.
Kids can stack the blocks on top of Billy Beat's red hat, and all the pieces store inside Billy when playtime is over.
This is a cute way to combine music with building. Little kids will love all the different sounds and songs and making up some of their own. The lights, music, and building blocks help engage kids in lots of imaginative and creative play.
Billy Beats Dancing Piano is for ages 1 and up.
Three C batteries are included for the in-store try-me purposes. MEGA Bloks recommends replacing them before you play for best results.
This toy does have volume control. You can also choose to turn on the music but not the dancing.

Script# & Dynamics CRM 2011
- Posted: Dec 22, 2011 at 8:03AM
Right click "Save as…"
In this video, I walk you through two core usage scenarios for Script# in the Dynamics CRM 2011 context:
Think of this as an alternative approach to producing JavaScript code for Dynamics CRM 2011. I tend to like it for all the same reasons the Script# home page calls out: Intellisense that works!, MSBuild Support, Visualize your Code, Intuitive OOP Syntax, Unit Testing Support, Create Documentation, FxCop Code Analysis. Yes, there are ways to do these things with JavaScript, but Script# lets you use what you already know if you are a C# developer. If after watching this video, you decide it's not for you, then erase it from your memory banks and continue with your current approach.

We Help Fathers Save on Prescription Drugs You Can Too!
Social Security Has the Best Tickets in Town
Social Security Service Extremely Fragile
See Our Progress on Tackling the Disability Backlog
Spreading the word about the Medicare Prescription Drug Program — and the extra help available through Social Security — is important to us. One of our latest products created to support our outreach efforts is a new publication targeting adult sons and daughters who want to help their fathers save money on prescription drugs. The theme is "I saved my dad $3,600 on prescription drugs. You can too!"
Many people with limited income and resources qualify for these big savings and don't even know it. To find out if someone is eligible, Social Security will need to know their income and the value of their savings, investments and real estate (other than their home). If they are married and living with their spouse, we will need this information for both of them.
With your help, we hope to reach a good number of potential beneficiaries this Father's Day. You can find a copy of the new publication at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp/10164.htm.
Social Security Has the Best Tickets in Town
Social Security has issued final rules that are designed to improve the Ticket to Work program. This new regulation is intended to expand the universe of service providers available to beneficiaries with disabilities who seek vocational rehabilitation, employment and related support services.
"These rules outline a new and improved Ticket to Work program and are based on learning from our experiences, listening to input from interested parties, and responding to their suggestions," said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. "Beneficiaries with disabilities will have greater flexibility and expanded choices in obtaining the services they need to attain their employment goals."
With the new improvements to the program, more beneficiaries become eligible, incentive payments for Employment Networks have increased, the value of the tickets have increased and we've better aligned those involved with the program. Find out more about the improvements by reading the press release at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/tickettowork-pr-0508.htm.
At a May 8, 2008 hearing convened by the Senate Finance Committee, Barbara Bovbjerg of the Government Accountability Office testified that while "service is still being provided and mostly in a timely way" in Social Security field offices, it is becoming "extremely fragile."
Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont.) opened the hearing with the following remark, "In recent years, Social Security field offices have faced three obstacles. Their traditional workloads have grown. They have been given new jobs (activities associated with increased identity verification and Medicare Prescription Drugs). And the budget cuts have reduced their staffing levels."
According to GAO, retirement and disability filings are expected to increase Social Security's workload significantly in the next several years at exactly the same time that the Agency's own staff will retire at greater rates. In response to testimony that it takes two to three years to fully train a field office employee, Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) noted, "That's longer than it takes to train an astronaut."
See Our Progress on Tackling the Disability Backlog
In May 2007, Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue announced plans to reduce the backlog of hearing requests and to prevent its recurrence. Since then, Social Security has made significant progress with a number of initiatives outlined in the Commissioner's plan. The aggressive new approach includes increasing efficiency, improving business practices and expanding use of automation.
Some notable accomplishments include hiring 133 Administrative Law Judges for 64 locations, opening the National Hearing Center and reducing the number of aged cases.

Every year, Social Security announces the most popular baby names based on Social Security card applications — and the 2007 list has been released. This year, pop culture has made its mark on the list. Jacob and Emily continue to top the list, but some famous names are moving up.
For example, Shiloh, the youngest daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, debuted at number 804 on the list. Maddox, the name of their oldest child, has seen steady gains since first appearing on the list in 2003 at number 583 and now ranking at number 226. Miley is new to the girls' list this year, entering fairly high at number 278, attributable to the popularity of teen sensation Miley Cyrus.
Finally, Elvis has risen 85 spots from number 761 to number 676 — further proof that Elvis lives. Learn more by reading the press release announcing the most popular baby names of 2007 at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/baby-names2007-pr.htm.

Numbers Game: Hornets best
Our facts-and-figures-based football preview, The Numbers Game, returns with Watford headlining this weekend's picks.
- Related Content
Watford to win at Barnsley at 11/8
Gianfranco Zola's Watford have been terrific away from home in the Championship this term with 10 wins from 18 games - including five wins from their last seven away trips. They were beaten by Blackpool at home last time out and will want to get back on track at Oakwell against a Barnsley side, who gave themselves some breathing space in midweek with a win over Brighton which lifted them out of the bottom three. The 11/8 on offer looks well worth taking.
Sky Bet: Manchester City have gathered support of the punters since our initial offering of 6/5, and are now a shade of odds-against at 21/20. This can possibly be attributed to Everton's morale-sapping blowout in their FA Cup tie against Wigan, which has in turn led to speculation about the future of long-serving manager David Moyes. When you combine this with City's relatively easy cup tie against Barnsley it it easy to see why the market has moved in such a way.
Stoke have been a team to fear at their home the Britannia Stadium in their tenure in the Premier League, but this season they are enduring a tough time getting over the magic 40-point mark. With just one win since New Year against lowly Reading, they have opened at 11/8 against West Brom and we have barely seen a penny on them at the price. The Baggies look to have stopped their mid-season blip and have picked up nine points from their last 12, and punters are siding with the Albion in this clash.
Paddy Power: It has been a quiet enough week for movers. We have seen a bit of support for Man City up against Everton - on the back of Everton's humiliating FA Cup exit last weekend.
Tottenham have also shortened up a little since they got a debatable confidence boost of going through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, despite a sound beating from Inter Milan.
Betfred: We've seen plenty of money for Aston Villa (v QPR) in the big game at the bottom of the league table. They are currently 11/10 but that price could change before 3pm on Saturday.
bet365: Punters don't seem too concerned with Man City's recent record against Everton, and with last week's performance against Wigan probably in their minds, there's considerable opposition to David Moyes' side.
Liverpool are another side that punters want to be with and we're still happy to be against at odds-on despite their recent run.
Cardiff are being opposed in the Championship, as are Colchester in League One.
Man Utd (2/11) won last five in Premier League and host Reading (20/1) (1730 GMT)
Liverpool (19/20) won last three in Premier League and travel to Southampton (10/3).
Bolton (9/5) won last five in Championship and travel to Ipswich (9/5).
Nottingham Forest (14/5) won last five in Championship and travel to Hull (5/4).
Reading (20/1) lost last four in Premier League and travel to Man Utd (2/11) (1730 GMT).
Stoke (31/20) lost last three in Premier League and host West Brom (11/5).
Blackburn (8/5) lost last three in Championship and host Burnley (2/1) (Sun, 1230 GMT).
Sky Bet: Tottenham faced a much harder test in Milan this Thursday than they would have liked and they had to do it without Gareth Bale. Whilst Spurs have a good record at White Hart lane this season, blots on their copybook include home clashes with Stoke, Wigan, Norwich and West Brom - all games where they were comfortable favourites. Martin Jol has an almost fully-fit squad, who are well rested and while Fulham aren't the most trustworthy team on the road, we'd take them to cause Spurs some problems and we will be happy to take on the hosts at 1/2.
bet365: I certainly don't need a history lesson in Stoke v West Brom games and although the Baggies won at the Britannia last season, it's the Potters who are attracting the money. I've checked and double checked the Wigan (11/8) price to beat Newcastle and it's right apparently - the hosts have to be a lay, despite the midweek Europa excursions.
Betfred: Our football traders are looking to take on Man City at evens this weekend - mainly due to their two main players Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany both being out. Everton need to put up a performance in front of their home crowd this week after last week's disappointment in the FA Cup. They do also have a good record in this fixture at Goodison Park. We are also happy to take on Chelsea at 4/11 who come into their game with West Ham on the back of a tough game in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Paddy Power: Hearts have a very good habit of turning up when it matters in cup finals. Recent managerial and financial difficulties can be put aside for one big push to beat a very average St Mirren side over 90 minutes in the Scottish League Cup Final at Hampden Park. In the English Premier League I wouldn't be against taking Liverpool (at Southampton) on at the current prices.
Everton (29/10) have won five of their last seven Premier League encounters v Manchester City (11/10).
Southampton (10/3) have won three of their last four Premier League home games v Liverpool (19/20).
Leyton Orient to beat Carlisle at 21/20
Orient have been in good form of late at home - winning four of their last six at Brisbane Road and they look a decent price to chalk up another home win. Carlisle have struggled away from Cumbria - losing five of their last eight on their travels and they look set for another long fruitless trip to the capital.
West Brom's Romelu Lukaku has four in three and is 5/2 to score at Stoke.
Peterborough's Dwight Gayle has four in four and is 15/8 to score at Blackpool.
Brentford's Clayton Donaldson has two in four and is 21/20 to score v Preston.
Hartlepool to beat Coventry (draw no bet) at 11/4
Coventry will be without key striker Leon Clarke against Hartlepool. The Sky Blues are already without departed frontman David McGoldrick, while Stephen Elliott is missing for the rest of the season.
Oldham to beat Bournemouth at 9/4
Bournemouth's victory over Stevenage on Tuesday came at a cost with three players sustaining injuries at Broadhall Way. Matt Ritchie had to be withdrawn after 33 minutes with his replacement Ryan Fraser then having to come off midway through the second half, while Harry Arter was substituted in the final minute of the 1-0 win.
Peterborough to win at Blackpool DNB at 85/40
After the midweek draw at Leeds, Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson said: "It's not a good point. It's really disappointing that we dropped two points. It was a great opportunity to get three points and out of the last three draws I would say tonight was the biggest opportunity. We had seven or eight chances to get the second goal and we've not taken them."
Colchester to win at Bury at 2/1
Speaking after the midweek 2-2 draw at Coventry, Colchester manager Joe Dunne admitted mistakes cost his side: "We were comfortable and Coventry got booed off at half-time. We dealt with their threat and got two goals into the lead. But we then made two clinical errors - we got caught out with the first goal and then we gave a silly free-kick away. But we will take the point and move on and it could have been worse, we could have lost. Everyone will be saying that it was two points dropped but that's not necessarily the case."
Brighton to beat Crystal Palace at 13/8 (Sun, 1200 GMT)
Speaking after the midweek defeat to Barnsley, Brighton manager Gus Poyet said: "We knew we would have to fight and compete and I got the feeling that we gave the game away with the goals that we gave away, but that is how it has been for a while so I am not surprised. Unfortunately I am getting used to this, we have played three games away from home in a week. The first game was terrible, then we were by far the better team at Bolton and lost 1-0 and today if anyone said Barnsley deserved to win then I should retire."

LEWISTOWN - Lewistown Borough Council President James Felmlee resigned at the end of a contentious Monday meeting that included the rejection of a sewage rate increase, the failure to adopt a 2013 budget as a result and one council member walking out midmeeting.
The council voted 4-3 against raising sewer rates with councilmen Lee Bollinger, Matthew Moore, Larry Searer and John Adams casting votes to reject the rate hike.
The council said the sewage rates are based on usage. Because the ordinance to raise sewage rates was rejected, overall taxes might have to be raised for everyone in the borough instead, the council said.
Electricity costs at the new federally-mandated wastewater treatment plant are going to more than double in comparison to the current facility, the council said. The council said if the borough had not gotten the grants it has already received, taxes could have increased as much as 50 percent because of the project.
The council expressed worry about figuring out where the borough will get the money to pay for expenses related to the new treatment facility.
After the board voted against raising the sewage rates, Vice President Russell Rager expressed great disbelief that the board wouldn't willingly raise the rates to pay for the plant.
"How do you expect us to pay our bills?" Rager asked.
Bollinger said he felt like the council was holding the citizens of the borough hostage.
"We raised the taxes last year too. We're raising the sewage rates. I hear on a regular basis that we are raising, raising, raising and the residents aren't getting anything," Bollinger said. "I understand we need to pay but I don't feel that raising the sewage rates is the way to go."
Rager said Bollinger hadn't answered his question, leading to a spirited discussion among the council members.
Bollinger then quickly stood up and left the meeting unannounced.
Rager and Borough Manager Connie Lucas agreed that they did not know how to proceed. Mayor Deb Bargo said that the only solution now is to raise taxes.
The council said if the borough does not pay its bills it could default on its loans, which could lead to state officials seizing control of the borough's finances, similar to what is happening in Harrisburg.
Rager said that Lewistown Borough's rates are still considered low compared to Derry, Armagh, Granville and Brown townships.
The sewage rate debate was the first of a series of dominos to fall Monday.
Since the rejected increase of sewage rates was part of the 2013 proposed budget, the budget could not be passed.
The board approved a temporary budget, with adjustments to be made before the end of the year. The board has until Dec. 31 to officially adopt a 2013 budget.
Currently the almost 80-page budget has no tax increases scheduled, but that seems likely to change.
If a budget is not passed the borough could shut down, Solicitor Jeff Snook said.
Even after all that, the meeting had a surprise ending, as Felmlee announced his resignation from the council.
"Tonight is my last meeting. I'm stepping down. I've had enough. I've put a lot of deep thought into this and tonight is my last meeting," Felmlee said. "Tonight's it. I'm done."
The council gave its thanks for Felmlee's 18 years of service and wished him the best.
In other business, the board approved a motion to go ahead with the 100 N. Walnut St. demolition project. The proposed cost of the project was less than expected so the council moved $25,000 into the streets program.
Lewistown Borough Council normally meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at its office in Lewistown. The council also approved a motion to add a second council meeting each month, which will be scheduled at a later date.

I guess Babcock must think Zetterberg is better because I can't think another reason why he would get more ice-time.

DUBLIN, Apr. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets
) has announced the addition of the
"Machine to Machine (M2M) Market in India"
report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
The analysts forecast the Machine to Machine (M2M) market in India to grow at a CAGR of 33.81 percent over the period 2012-2016. The new income opportunities generated through the adoption of M2M technology constitute one of the key factors for this market growth. The M2M market in India has also been witnessing a shift from voice services to data services. However, the lack of coordination among the members of the fragmented value chain could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The report, the Machine to Machine (M2M) Market in India, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the M2M market landscape in Indian and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
India loses approximately US$10.20 billion each year due to power thefts. As a result, India is planning to roll out smart meters in the Power sector. The Indian Government is mainly responsible for the huge penetration of broadband services at a rural level.
The Government of India has initiated a national fiber network for 250,000 gram panchayats (local government in villages and small towns) for broadband connectivity. In addition, the governments have also taken other initiatives such as electronic point of sales machines, automated meter reading, and tracking devices in logistics for the welfare of the society.
According to the report, one of the main drivers is the new income opportunities for MNOs. The new modes of exploring wireless connectivity into social networks and mobile commerce are enabling MNOs to bring in additional revenues to the table. The increasing penetration of M2M technology in the key business verticals of India, such as the Automobile, Healthcare, Agriculture, Home Appliances, and Retail sectors, is boosting the opportunities for MNOs, thereby driving the M2M market in India.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the lack of coordination among the members of the fragmented value chain. The M2M value chain includes manufacturers, connectivity providers, application service providers, service providers, sellers, and resellers. Though M2M gets an extensive support for its economic growth from this expansive value chain, the coordination among the value chain members is a tedious task. This adverse effect of the coordination in the value chain acts as a hindrance in offering complete solutions to the end-user.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Complete Internet of Things (IoT) embedded device security is not just about the device but involves the entire product's identity, data and control integrity, and services traversing the cloud. A device can no longer be looked at as an island; it is a part of a system. In fact, given the cross-domain interactions enabled by IoT it could be a part of many systems. Also, depending on where the device is deployed, for example, in the office building versus a factory floor or oil field, security ha...

Contrary to recent reports, the singer has not called off her engagement to the Aussie actor, she announced via Twitter on Wednesday.
"I am so sick of La. And sick of the lies that come with it," she posted. "I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media. #draining"
Not that everything in their relationship is totally perfect, however.
A source close to Cyrus tells PEOPLE, "The wedding is still on. Miley and Liam have had some problems that they are working through. Miley doesn't think it's a big deal. She loves Liam and can't wait to marry him."
Earlier this year, Hemsworth's rep denied reports that he had secretly tied the knot with Cyrus after she gave an interview to Cosmopolitan in which she referred to herself as married.
Cyrus, meanwhile, has been spotted recently in New York for Fashion Week and partying before the Grammys and after the Academy Awards, while Hemsworth recently flew to Australia to spend time with his family.
I am so sick of La. And sick of the lies that come with it. I didn't call off my wedding. Taking a break from social media. #draining— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) March 6, 2013

A Tyrone man who police claim quoted Humphrey Bogart and Frank Sinatra during his arrest on driving under the influence charges said he'll fight the case.
Herbert Goss, 78, blamed taking prescription medication on an empty stomach for his confused state June 18 outside his Sylvan Acres residence, where Tyrone police alleged he struck a parked vehicle while driving drunk. Goss, a retired door-to-door Fuller Brush and vacuum cleaner salesman, said he was parked when police arrived and will fight the charges.
"I don't know how I could be arrested for DUI," Goss said Tuesday, adding because of numerous health problems that his gait is always unsteady. "I stagger anytime I get up from the sitting position."
Tyrone police saw things differently, according to Goss' charges, and alleged Goss was drunk and only responded to the officer's questions with lines from the Humphrey Bogart classic film "Casablanca" and Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way." Police said Goss had trouble standing and refused a blood test at Tyrone Hospital after his arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence.
Goss said a neighbor called police after he bumped his car upon returning from the local American Legion and that he was parked when the cops arrived.
As to why he invoked classic movie and song lines during his run-in with police, Goss said it's just his nature.
"That's me," Goss said. "I've sung and told stories all my life."
Goss, who writes a weekly column for the town's small newspaper and published a book of fiction in 2004 called "Geese Still Fly," said he probably can't afford a private attorney and will apply for a public defender to represent him at his Aug. 6 preliminary hearing in Tyrone.
"I'll see them in district court," Goss said of the police.

Lots of choices of health insurance policies, along with plenty of competition to hold prices down and quality up, would be part of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama and his supporters have assured Americans.
Not for many West Virginians, it appears.
Obamacare, as the ACA has come to be known, is so incredibly complex that with most of its provisions set to go into effect within weeks, many people still can't get answers about how the law will affect them.
But one provision, expected by Obama and his cronies to be a real vote-getter, involves the many Americans who don't have health insurance through the government or their employers, and can't afford it on their own. So-called insurance "exchanges" or "marketplaces" are to be set up in the states to offer such clients coverage at affordable, often government-subsidized, rates.
West Virginia has been in the process of setting up its insurance marketplace for several months. But this week, it was revealed just one insurance company plans to participate.
Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia will be the only insurer offering policies through the government marketplace, unless something changes. This week, it was announced another major insurer doing business in the state, Carelink/Coventry Health Care, will not be participating in the program.
Highmark reportedly plans to offer 11 different health insurance plans, but there will be limits. For example, the company may not be providing "platinum" plans with low co-payments and thus, high premiums, through the marketplace.
No doubt Highmark will do its best to offer quality insurance at reasonable rates. But as wise shoppers understand, nothing accomplishes that like competition. Monopolies - and that is what Highmark will have, in effect, unless something changes - by their very nature do not provide the best prices and service for customers.
Many West Virginians stopped believing Obama's promises years ago. Still, that will be small comfort to the tens of thousands of Mountain State residents who may be affected adversely by the fact the insurance marketplace will not operate as claimed.

Let's face reality. As much as doctors and pharmacists will tell you there are risks in taking diet pills and the effects they could have on your health, people take them anyway. What I do believe in is the power of knowledge and educating yourself before taking any chances. Let's take a look at three pretty popular diet aids and how they compare to each other: Acai, Hoodia, and Raspberry Ketones, the newest craze.
Raspberry Ketones were recently discussed on the Dr. Oz show and hours later pharmacies were getting calls from patients. "Where can I get it, is it safe?" Well I can tell you that not many pharmacies or stores carry this product yet. It's believed that raspberry ketones help burn fat by increasing the release of norepinephrine in your body. This causes the body's temperature to rise and in doing this increases the body's metabolism. Increased norepinephrine could causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Currently most of the raspberry ketone studies conducted were done in mice and we don't have much to go on for how this will affect humans.
Hoodia is derived from a plant located in Southern Africa called hoodia gordonii. Commercially you can buy it in capsules, tablets, chocolate chews, and a variety of other forms. There are numerous websites selling hoodia, but because the products are not regulated by the FDA it's possible you won't be getting any of what you paid for.
There are few studies to support the effectiveness of hoodia. Pfizer was looking to enter the diet pill market and developed a molecule called P57, which was very similar to hoodia, but in 2003 decided to discontinue their research and give the rights to the other company they were working with, called Phytopharm.


text: Advocate Spotlight: Don Battcher, Kentucky by Cresha A. on Thursday, July 25, 2013 Don Battcher Kentucky Don Battcher's daughter, Grace, was born with a congenital heart defect requiring multiple surgeries over her 18 years. Last summer, Don reached out to the American Heart Association eager to work on legislation to require newborn screening for critical congenital heart disease. Don quickly began contacting legislators to educate them on the issue, and even developed a very effective PowerPoint presentation, which he co-presented to the Interim Joint Committee of Health and Welfare. Don's presentation led to the identification of a sponsor for the newborn screening bill, Senate Bill 125. Enthusiastically sharing his story whenever needed, he testified on the legislation when it was before Senate committee. Thanks in large part to Don's passion, dedication and persistence, Kentucky's newborn congenital heart defect screening bill passed in just one legislative session. Following his help in passing the Kentucky bill, Don even assisted in connecting parents in another state to the appropriate American Heart Association staff when they wanted to take this issue to their legislature. In June, Don was presented with the Great Rivers Affiliate Distinguished Achievement Award for his efforts.Thanks so much, Don, for helping to ensure all Kentucky newborns will be screened for heart defects! « Now share your story Share This

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Frank Gehrke skied into the middle of a clearing in Phillips station Wednesday to take measurements for the California Department of Water Resources' first snow survey of the year.
And unlike last January, there was actually snow to measure.
Gehrke, chief of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys, recorded 12.1 inches of water content in about 4 feet of snow, just above average for this time of year at the station near Echo Summit.
"All this snow is a nice seasonal present. Last year we could only find .14 inches of water content so you can see the huge difference between this year and what we had on the ground last year," he said.
The water outlook across the state looks much rosier than it did in January 2012. Water content in California's mountain snowpack is at 134 percent of average for this time of year, and 49 percent of the April 1 average - typically the snowpack's peak.
Snow surveys like the one Gehrke conducted Wednesday help the Department of Water Resources predict spring runoff. Snowpack usually provides about a third of the state's water as it melts in the spring and early summer, according to a DWR release.
But just because the January survey recorded high water content, it doesn't mean California will be drought-free this summer.
"We are off to a good water supply start for the new year, but we have to remember that we have seen wet conditions suddenly turn dry more than once," DWR spokesman Ted Thomas said.
Gehrke said the early season often experiences a "January lull" - the mountain equivalent of the doldrums where a dry period follows December's heavy snows. That lull can determine if the state has a good or moderate water year ahead.
There's no guarantee that the Sierra will be inflicted with a low-snow start to 2013, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association forecast Thursday a dry week ahead with only a slight chance of precipitation for South Lake Tahoe.
The DWR estimates that it will deliver 40 percent of the water requested to supply 25 million Californians and about a million acres of irrigated farmland, according to a release. That estimate will likely increase throughout the winter.
The final allocation of water last year was 65 percent of the requested amount, while the last 100 percent allocation occurred in 2006.
Lake Oroville and Lake Shasta - both important water-storage reservoirs for California - are both above average for the date. -
The January snow surveys at Phillips started more than 100 years ago, during which time officials have collected a series of data points that Gehrke said doesn't hint of a warming climate.
"Honestly, we don't see much of a trend. The fact that we had hardly any snow at this location last year shows how much things can change," he said.

The number of data breaches has hit an all-time high; 47% of attacks take just minutes or hours to go from point of entry to compromise. Databases not only store critical information, but they are often connected to multiple systems providing essential business services. Any interruption, unintended disclosure, or loss of data from databases has the potential to disrupt an entire company's operations and reputation. Also, since a database holds the regulated and sensitive data, a database breach usually translates to a compliance breach, with its huge clean-up cost, loss of consumer confidence, and possibly drastic market capitalization loss.
To secure sensitive data against both external and internal threats, real-time visibility into database activity is required. In order to properly secure a database from malicious code and data loss, you must address various concerns, which are highlighted in this paper. Read this paper to show how you can implement a highly efficient and reliable database security solution.

Last weekend was pretty cool, because my alma mater was the subject of a front-page story in the New York Times. Unfortunately, they got there because they utterly shit the bed at handling a sexual assault case. Hi, I'm JF Sargent, and this is my comedy article about rape.
The frustrating part for me, as a Hobart and William Smith grad (technically just a Hobart grad, because it's actually two schools that share faculty, campus, dorms, and an administration), is that it's not that surprising. It was well-known for my entire four years that the campus was what I should probably call "a less than safe space for women" but will instead call "kinda sorta rapey." At the time, I genuinely thought it was because HWS was just a particularly shitty place (although I always really admired my professors), but now that I have some distance from there, I've realized that I was just a dumbass kid with no perspective: This is actually a national problem. It's happening in colleges across the country, because apparently no one can figure out how to deal with this. And I think I know some reasons why. First of all ...
#5. Doing the Right Thing Will Hurt the Colleges
Damon_Moss/iStock/Getty Images
With colleges around the country blowing up with sexual assault reports, it seems pretty clear that rape is worse than it's ever been. So what the hell is the problem? Are kids these days just total assholes, especially if they attended college with me?
Well, no, because rape reports going up is actually a good thing. Feel free to quote me on that.
Jaykayl/iStock/Getty Images
I'm also pro-terrorism, and I think Blink-182 is pretty easy listening.
The reason an increase in rape reports is a sign that things are getting better is because it's actually getting reported. Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes in the world, with only 40 percent of cases ever going beyond private conversation, and 1 in 5 women have been sexually assaulted -- a number that's always seemed a little lower than what's real to me, frankly, but that's just speaking from anecdotal evidence. So as these reports go up, they're actually trending toward reflecting the actual amount of sexual assaults that happen. It's roughly analogous to realizing your home has cockroaches: It's a painful shock, but at least you now know to buy some bug poison.
Still, you're gonna be a lot more careful where you step once you know there are roaches running around, which is probably why colleges with higher reports of rape see a drop in enrollment, despite the fact that they may not actually be the worst places to be.
But from the administration's perspective, making it easier to report rape basically invites controversy, since stories that might otherwise have blown over are suddenly major stories. That may make college administrators sound like heartless bastards, but in their defense, it's really easy to not feel guilty about things you don't even know are happening. And besides, I don't point out how evil college administrators are until this entry ...
#4. College Administrators Are Experts at Shutting Down Activism
Siri Stafford/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Colleges have a reputation for being a hotbed of political activism. You have a shitload of people away from their homes for the first time, being exposed to incredible ideas with an outrageous amount of freedom and more energy than they'll ever have again in their lives, so it's natural that they're going to want to fuck shit up. And historically, this has been pretty good: Activism on college campuses has played a key role in some pretty important parts of our nation's history. But from an administrator's point of view, it's always been a pain in the ass. Protesting comes with frantic emotions and injuries. On top of that, if we're being honest, college students aren't always particularly discerning as to what they get pissed off about.
A week after the New York Times story ran, I contacted some current students to ask them how the campus had responded. What they told me sounded pretty optimistic: Coalitions are being created! Meetings are scheduled with the president of the college and the director of student affairs! Student government is working closely with the administration, and they've never been more receptive. There's been an "outpouring of empathy, love, and support," as well as the assurance that change is imminent. It all sounded great, and really, really familiar, because all that same shit had been happening when I graduated in 2010, and apparently our impact was zilch. Because when you're a student trying to create an impact with the administration, their priority is to control that impact.
NA/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
"Yes, just like that. We'll Photoshop your beliefs in later."
"They keep tenured faculty in control using similar means: They treat them as personal equals, they encourage them to form committees, study problems, provide the administration with advisory reports," says Robin J. Sowards, an English literature professor who used to teach at Hobart. "And by the time the administration has unambiguously ignored the faculty's advice, so much time has passed that the faculty has forgotten the problems or is just too tired to fight for the solution. It's even easier with students because they're gone in four years, and over the summers." Keep in mind that he's not just talking about the HWS administration -- this is how every college functions. (I reached out to my alma mater's administration for an interview as well, but never heard back. Probably because instead of being a serious journalist I'm just a comedy writer who doesn't shave.)
College administrators want students to feel like they can only get something done if they work with the administration (even though that's not true), because putting out fires by making kids feel like they're making a difference to keep them effectively sedated is their job. And their job is easy, because they only have to keep students distracted for a few short months: College students spend their first two years experimenting with drugs and freedom, and only really get a sense of their relationship at the end of their tenure. And once they're gone, they stop caring, because they have a different community to want to change -- not because they're fickle and selfish, but because that's how activism works. Priorities shift. Overall, this is a good thing, but it also keeps every college campus in the country stuck in a weird, culturally adolescent funk.
#3. Rape Prevention Training Is a Massive Undertaking
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
When I matriculated to Hobart in the fall of 2006, part of my orientation was a sexual assault prevention program. It involved me and like six other dudes from my floor going into a room and being told by a fellow student, "Don't fuck crazy, they'll accuse you of rape." There was some other stuff he mentioned about how sexual assault is, like, super not cool, but that was the line that stuck with me the most and made the most sense, because it made me feel like the real concern was that I could be a victim.
"Finally," I thought, "Someone who acknowledges me! The most important person! Being accused of rape is the worst thing involving rape that could happen to someone!"
Aleksandr Frolov/Hemera/Getty Images
"So when do I get congratulated on how nice I am to these bitches?"
Look, I understand now that that's dumb as shit, but give me a break. At the time, I was 18. In my entire life, I had had exactly two thoughts about sexual politics and gender dynamics: "Why aren't I having sex right now?" and "Yay! I'm having sex right now!" I'd never had a reason to think about rape in any detail, or consider that it might happen to people close to me, and, hell, I wasn't particularly predisposed toward prioritizing someone else ahead of myself. When I thought about rape, the first person I considered it affecting was me -- which is the exact reason why I needed that training.
Studies have found that men will admit to rape if you don't describe it as rape. This doesn't mean that all men are rapists, or that men are evil or stupid or anything; it means that they're not educated about sex, what it means, and how to go about it. And we're going to stay that way if left to our own devices, because there's an inherent terror in discovering that something you thought was OK is actually hurting people, because no one wants to think of themselves as assholes. It'll take way more than a half-hour seminar to get over that kind of mental block, but gosh, I'd argue it's worth the time.
But this is really just the treatment. I'd argue the real problem is ...
