Police arrested a man who they said was involved in the shooting of three men during a party in Orange County on Sunday.
Eric Occeus, 22, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, carrying a concealed firearm and two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.
Police said the three partygoers were shot in the 1300 block of 43rd Street just before 3 a.m. Sunday.
Ury Junior David, 24, was killed in the shooting. Ricardo Mondesir, 19, and Greeberd Louis, 23, suffered injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, police said.
Police said the shooter dropped the gun as he fled from the scene. Anyone who has the gun or knows where it is is asked to contact police.

The 2011 NFL Draft is in the history books and it is time to look forward to...well that is the problem. Now there is nothing to look forward to.
As the labor war continues, there only are nuggets of news about draft fallout and the futures of rookies such as Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett.
Dez Bryant continues to act like a knucklehead by not showing up to the Cowboys' facility during the 24-hour window when the lockout was lifted, further cementing his reputation as a gifted player who has the intelligence of a snail.
But Osama Bin Laden is dead, Americans are celebrating and that news definitely is worth mentioning. We thank our servicemen for putting their lives on the line and I am grateful for their service every day.
I promise to keep the rest of this news focused on sports and heavy on snarky comments regarding football players like Bryant.

answer to the Apple
iPad has been rumored for at least
a few months, but the company made its new device official today.
The 7" tablet is called
the PlayBook and runs the BlackBerry Tablet OS which is based on
Neutrino microkernel architecture.
RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis describes the device as "the
first professional tablet".
PlayBook features a 7" touch screen (1024x600), dual-core Cortex A9
processor, 1GB of RAM, and will have both HDMI and
USB ports. Unlike the Apple iPad, the 9.7mm-thick PlayBook will have
both a front-facing and rear camera. The device can also
playback both HTML5 and Adobe Flash content.
the PlayBook supports 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. Although it won't be available at launch, RIM intends to release versions of the PlayBook with 3G and 4G functionality. "RIM set out to engineer the best professional-grade tablet in the industry with cutting-edge hardware features and one of the world's most robust and flexible operating systems," said Lazaridis. "The BlackBerry PlayBook solidly hits the mark with industry leading power, true multitasking, uncompromised web browsing and high performance multimedia."Full specs for the PlayBook are as follows:
details are still slowly trickling in about the device, so you can
watch a two-minute video here which
previews the device's operating system.
quote: Traditionally, Apple users are antiestablishmentarianists. They are not professionals, they are hippies and hipsters. That may have changed, but no 'real' business uses Apples. 'Professionals' are interested in function and value, not name brand, style or prestige, which is all the Apple brand has to offer.

Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Belk Library -- Room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
Students, faculty and community members are invited to attend the Academy Award winning film, A Separation. There will be a showing of the film on Tuesday, Oct 8 at 5:00 pm in the library, Rm 114. Discussion after the film will be led by Anousha Shahsavari, an artist and language teacher from Iran. Faculty who teach courses that would benefit from a better understanding of families and society in Iran are encouraged to ask their students to attend.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the Muslim Students Association as the first event of the Muslim Journeys "Let's Talk About It" Program series of book and film discussions. The Program is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association. This series follows upon the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures Program begun in Spring 2013
ABOUT THE FILM: A Separation is a 2011 Iranian film written and directed by Asghar Farhadi. The film focuses on a recently separated Iranian couple and their daughter and the cascading social and legal conflicts that unfold after the husband fires a lower-class care giver of his elderly father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. This powerful drama explores conflict that cuts across gender and class at the heart of Iranian society. Rotten Tomatoes rates the film a 9 out of 10, describing it as "morally complex, suspenseful, and consistently involving." Roger Ebert described the film as providing "a useful portrait of Iran today" and showing "a more nuanced nation" than is often depicted in cinema generally seen by Americans. "The writer-director's only agenda seems to be to express empathy."
AWARDS: A Separation won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012, becoming the first Iranian film to win the award. It also received the Golden Bear for Best Film and the Silver Bears for Best Actress and Best Actor at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 9 out of 10 rating describing it as "morally complex, suspenseful, and consistently involving."

During the first few weeks of September, dancers in Collaborative Process (DAN 4830) have visited the Library twice to learn about its resources: once, on September 10, to learn about library resources for their final papers, and again on September 19, to explore how physical space affects their creative processes. One visit involved sitting in a computer classroom; the other involved actually dancing on the main staircase and in the first floor atrium. In both cases, they used the Library's resources to explore dance intellectually and physically.
Associate Professor of Dance and the class's instructor Emily Daughtridge explained the less-traditional, but creative use of the Library's resources that her class experienced on the Thursday the 19th:
"The students were members of my Collaborative Process class, which is a course for senior Dance Studies majors. The students in Collaborative Process are exploring the nature of creativity in collaborative work, crossing disciplines and group processes. [Thursday's] class, guided by invited guest and chair of Theatre and Dance, Marianne Adams, took inspiration from Postmodern era dance artists such as Trisha Brown. These artists are interested in exploring, dancing and choreographing in relationship to the elements, be they architectural, cultural, etc., of a given environment, or "found" space as it may be.
"During [Thursday's] class the dance students explored improvisational performance in the library rotunda and in the large open stair case. Both spaces provide unique spatial dimensions, architectural features, viewing perspectives and the opportunity to negotiate movement and interactions not only with fellow dancers but also with unsuspecting pedestrians. In addition Ms. Adam's gave the dancers the following prompts to consider: the shape of the space, the initiation/intention of the movement, and the awareness of being a part of a greater whole."

Information Literacy Librarian Elizabeth (Betsy) McCutchen Williams was invited to give a lecture at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Ky about her publication Appalachian travels : the diary of Olive Dame Campbell / edited by Elizabeth McCutchen Williams published by the University Press of Kentucky, c2012.
In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid, entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they encountered.
Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar writing about the region, little has been published about the Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological, educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely accessible to scholars and students for the first time.Appalachian Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at the turn of the twentieth century.
American folklorist Olive Dame Campbell (1882–1954) was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. In 1925, she founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina.
E-learning Librarian Megan Johnson published "Usability Test Results for Encore in an Academic Library" in Information Technology and Libraries (ITAL) 32.3 (2013): 59-85 doi: 10.6017/ital.v32i3.4635
This case study gives the results a usability study for the discovery tool Encore Synergy (locally branded as APPsearch), an Innovative Interfaces product, launched at Belk Library & Information Commons in January 2013. Nine of the thirteen participants in the study rated the discovery tool as more user friendly. All of the study's participants were in favor of switching the interface to the new "one box" search. Several glitches in the implementation were noted and reported to the vendor. The study results have helped develop Belk library training materials and curricula. The study will also serve as a benchmark for further usability testing of Encore and Appalachian State Library's website. This article will be of interest to libraries using Encore Discovery Service, investigating discovery tools, or performing usability studies of other discovery services.

There are a couple ways to view Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane's rejection of a long-term contract sought by Gov. Tom Corbett that would let a British firm manage the $3.5 billion state Lottery.
On the one hand, it's an attorney general doing her job as watchdog for the state's residents and taxpayers, particularly in regard to the way the government acts.
After all, her job is to be the check and balance on state government.
On the other hand, the rejection amounts to barely disguised, politically motivated obstructionism.
The Democratic Attorney General says parts of the Lottery deal contravene the state constitution or are not authorized by state law.
Maybe she's correct. But the timing for all this seems suspicious.
A new attorney general takes office less than two years away from a gubernatorial election and, presto, the management fees of Lottery contracts are being questioned.
Perhaps Corbett could have been more transparent in striking his deal with Camelot.
But the bottom line is that there is a rising demand for the seniors programs that the Lottery funds and in a state with a large elderly population the lottery needs to be even more successful to keep up with its obligations.
Corbett believes private management can do that.
And therein lies the rub, in our view. It seems that every time anything is done that transforms a government role into a private responsibility, there is a gnashing of teeth.
In this case, we're talking about a program that includes the selling of millions of tickets through private outlets in countless different venues. That seems to be fine with everyone.
But the prospect of placing the Lottery management in private hands is a big constitutional issue.
We hope these constitutional issues are legitimate, but rejection feels like an attempt to accomplish something that couldn't be accomplished legislatively.

Pennsylvania has a pension problem.
It won't be going away.
The future encumbrances to the state's employees are simply outdistancing the available cash and investment infusion from state government.
And everyone has a viewpoint on how to solve the problem.
We believe all state employees even within shouting distance of retirement should get the same benefits that were in effect when they began employment.
That's just fair.
We believe state employees hired now and in the future should be subject to something close to the 401k plans so prevalent in the private sector, with a lion's share of the accumulated income left up to the employee and less coming from taxpayers.
The tricky part is solving the pension needs of the here and now without trampling the rights of current state workers.
The Corbett administration is pushing to involve current state workers in that solution, changing some of the formula for their pensions. That will probably result in a protracted legal battle.
The state may have to find another way to start reducing its pension shortfall before it becomes too weighty.
But no one can argue with the observation last week of Budget Secretary Charles Zogby.
Zogby said lawmakers need to reduce taxpayers' share of payments into Pennsylvania's major state pension funds in the next few years even if the rest of Gov. Tom Corbett's pension-overhaul proposals bog down.
That's a matter of economic reality. It's also a reality that the state must address its pension crisis now.
It will only get worse if the sticky reform is put off.
We all need to keep that in mind before we get too critical of the push by the Corbett administration to make changes in the state pension plan part of this year's budget discussion.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Friday, Sept. 21 the Truckee Tahoe community celebrated its second annual Peace Day at the Truckee Regional Park Amphitheater. Organized by the Truckee Tahoe Peace Project, Peace Day welcomes and encourages the practice of peace into our hearts and community. Peace day is "a day for individuals to become part of wide scale community action as well as a day that provides a window of opportunity for aid organizations to carry out life-saving work (peaceoneday.org)." Tahoe Safe Alliance was among many of the Truckee/ Tahoe communities "aid organizations" that showed their support for the event.
To help celebrate Peace Day, Tahoe SAFE Alliance presented the Truckee community with a Peace Pole. A final location for the Peace Pole which will include a plaque has yet to be determined. The Peace Pole is an internationally recognized symbol of hopes and dreams of peace for the entire world. More than 200 countries have Peace Poles in their communities. Each Peace Pole bears the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth." Each side of the pole bears this message in English, Chinese, Farsi, French, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
"We are so very fortunate to live in a country where freedom and peace is so precious. Having a Peace Pole in Truckee shows Truckee's support for world peace locally and internationally. As we think about peace in Truckee let us all make a commitment to not allow bullying or violence in our schools, in our homes or in our community. As war begins with thoughts of war, peace begins with thoughts of peace," said Karen Carey, executive director of Tahoe SAFE Alliance.
As a part of the Truckee Tahoe Peace Project's mission to bring awareness to peace in our personal lives, family, community and the world, organizers introduced for the very first time, the Truckee Tahoe Peace Award. This award was presented in order to honor and recognize the person who best represents the spirit of Peace in our community through their thoughts and actions. Tahoe SAFE Alliance would like to proudly recognize its very own Paul Bancroft, director of client services and prevention, as the recipient of the first Truckee Tahoe Peace Award.
Paul is a Tahoe native, having grown up on the West Shore, and later returning to this area after having attended UC Santa Barbara, Montana State University and studying in Argentina. Paul has been employed with Tahoe SAFE Alliance for four years and facilitates two domestic violence coalitions in two California counties, along with many other prevention, educational and non-violent initiatives in our community.
Paul was presented the award by Andy Hill of For Goodness Sake in Truckee with the following acknowledgement: "His passion and leadership skills for ending violence are excellent. He is an effective communicator, understands and promotes collaboration and is proactive in solving problems. He is bilingual and culturally proficient and provides training to others in this area. His actions, words and thoughts have at the core a message, belief, and concept of peace. His non-violent and positive attitude had brought great change in the sector when working with youth, adults and those who often don't have a voice to access services and programs."

, updated February 8, 2013 at 7:02 AM
Valentine's Day may be the biggest event in the late winter calendar, but what really gets the gardener's heart going is the chance to be somewhere warm, humid and green. Unless you work in a greenhouse, or you are flying to a tropical destination, there are only two ways to do this: Go to the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens any time of year (the "Night Lights" show is especially exciting this month) or book your dates for a flower show.
You don't have to be a gardener to go to a flower show. In fact, sometimes the people who aren't gardeners have the most fun. That's because they aren't compulsive about taking notes, scrambling to catch every speaker and determined to memorize every plant name.
Those non-gardeners or light-hearted gardeners just breeze along, snapping pictures or smelling the roses (and hyacinths and narcissus), feeling good in the springlike atmosphere.
Or, like my husband at the Philadelphia Flower Show – produced for 100 years by the wealthy and long-established Pennsylvania Horticultural Society – they walk the show for the overall beauty, a little shopping and then – faster than some of us – enjoy a beer and oysters or knockwurst (or a zillion international delights) at the train station across the street. (Every show has somewhere nearby for sitting and sipping and studying the program. Watching the gardeners with their armloads of treasures is equally diverting.
Seriously, though, if you are a gardener and have never been to a flower show, you are missing social, shopping and educational delights. Our own Plantasia, produced by the Western New York Nursery & Landscape Association, may not be the Philadelphia show in size, scope and displays, but it offers a solid lineup of speakers and demonstrations and there is a lot to learn, free with admission.
Nearly all flower shows have classes, and sometimes nationally prominent speakers and recently published authors.
For the first-timer: Find the speaking schedule online or get one as soon as you arrive, and build your day(s) around the must-see programs. (Unlike other lecture situations, speakers in these shows are mostly not insulted – I can speak for myself among them – if you choose not to stay for the whole talk. We know you have shopping to do, and not every topic is for everybody.)
Second tip: Walk around the whole show once, fast, to decide where to allocate your time. Don't get bogged down in miniature terrariums when your passion is new annuals or garden design.
The shopping is a pleasure in every garden show. In Plantasia, local garden centers and independent vendors pack the prettiest examples of their product lines and plants into 10-foot spaces, in the hopes you'll buy now and come to their shops during the season.
In the Toronto, Philadelphia and Southern or West Coast shows, you'll see national and international products represented – items you might not see at home. Our garden centers send staff to these shows to scout for products they should be carrying; tell your garden center folks what you loved. It's a lot easier to judge a tool or statue with your own eyes than through a catalog, and to try on flower-decorated Wellies or garden hats in person.
What will you shop for? Beyond garden tools and props, you'll see hardscape or landscaping products (from pavers to pergolas), some outdoor furniture, gardeners' clothing, usually books, and always jewelry (because, after all, the majority of garden show visitors are women.)
The plants are the best part of it for some of us, as you can see and take home potted herbs, tropicals, forced bulbs, spring-planted bulbs, and some forced perennials for planting when the weather warms. (You can bare-root some plants from Canada, but in most cases you'd be better off just bringing home ideas.)
So go to the show, to feel spring in the air, or for serious learning and shopping.
Landscape and garden ideas
The biggest features – the reasons for being – of most flower shows or garden and landscape shows are the landscape and garden displays presented by individual landscapers, or collaborating members of landscape associations or horticultural societies. These displays deserve our time and attention. Each landscaper, nursery or plant organization puts many weeks into the planning, forcing plants or acquiring forced plants, designing and then exhausting construction of the spaces. The displays show you landscape designs and miniature scenes, from trees to babbling brooks, fountains and waterfalls.
Not easy. Often they do this for their association, more than for new customers.
Meet and thank the display hosts; use their designs as hints about their styles; see if this is a fit for your own landscape needs. This is a good time to ask questions and interact with garden experts, arborists and CNLPs (Certified Nursery & Landscape Professionals).
The shows
• Philadelphia Flower Show (mother of them all) March 2 to 10, www.theflowershow.com.
• Central New York's CNY in Bloom (landscaping, leisure and more) in Syracuse from Feb. 28 to March 3, www.cnyinbloom.com.
• Canada Blooms in Toronto March 15 to 24, www.canadablooms.com.
• The Garden Artisans Expo in Rochester March 14 to 17, www.gardenartisansexpo.com.
• Plantasia "Backyard Oasis" in the Fairgrounds Event Center and Expo Hall in Hamburg March 20 to 24, www.plantasiany.com.
What about home and garden shows, like the Buffalo Home and Garden Show? (Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, March 8 to 10 and 15 to 17; www.buffalohomeshow.com).
As the name tells you, it's not primarily a flower show, but organizers are offering some garden speakers and booths, and outdoor living displays and products abound – a large, professional show with many reminders of summer.

Systemwide Events Calendar
Instructional Faculty Focus Group for the Sophomore ExperienceApril 29, 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Manoa Campus, QLC 411
The Sophomore Experience Committee was established to improve the experiences and retention of our sophomores at our Manoa campus. In efforts to understand their needs and issues, we would like to gather information from instructors' perspectives.
As such, we will be holding a focus group with instructors on Monday, April 29, 2013 at 3-4p in QLC 411.

It was the same week that I really finally decided to do something about my own well-being. I was on track to a whole healthier life plan of eating and drinking and exercising not only for a better body, but mainly a better mind. If the sun is going to take its sweet time coming out, then I have to find another way for some energy.
It was perfect timing, then, that I was invited to join and write about the BeeWell Miles campaign. I was sent this nifty pedometer in the mail by Bumble Bee Foods and for each mile I log onto BeeWellMiles.com, 15 cents is donated to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength.
Now, most of my steps are from going up and down two flights of stairs while I do laundry and chase children all day and night long. But I also have committed to doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and have a goal of making it to the treadmill by the end of each day, for at least some amount of time. (Walking, not running. Me, run? That is funny.)
Today I fought it- I really really really re-heaaaallly wanted to take a nap instead of do pushups and jumping jacks but, I pressed through and am SO GLAD I DID.
I'm doing this for me, and as I log my miles, I'm personally doing this for Lynda. If you join in, I'm "AdventuresInBabywearing" in the community at BeeWellMiles. There's also other resources like healthy living experts, calorie calculators, and all that fun stuff including 15,000 prizes to be won.
I know that when I am active and focused on a healthier lifestyle, I FEEL better inside and out. I just have to get myself to that starting line. And then sticking with it. If you have any tips or suggestions or even just your good thoughts to help me stay on track, send them my way.
And please keep Lynda in your hearts and prayers. She has touched more lives than any amount of miles I could ever

Friday, March 28, 2014
Cpt. Tripp Mobley, Summerville Fire Departments new public education/assistant training officer, has a bunch of ideas and a lot of enthusiasm.
He began his new position March 17 and he is already planning to promote public education throughout Summerville.
SFD already has a smoke detector program, but Mobley wants to make sure everyone knows about it.
Summerville Fire will provide free checks of existing smoke detectors and free smoke detectors if there are none is homes, he said. We will change batteries for a resident or do whatever needs doing. The only stipulation is that they live in the town of Summerville.
Mobley plans on visiting every school in the SFD coverage area to talk with children about fire safety. SFD has a fire house that helps children learn how to feel a door for heat before opening it, how to crawl to safety and how to go out a window. The house is set up with a childs bedroom and a kitchen area. Using the acronym EDITH Exit Drills In The Home he can teach children to design a plan, pick a place to meet and exit safely.
A brand new educational self-help project Mobley is excited about is the Vial-of-Life. Although this has been around for a while, Mobley doesnt think many know about it.
The Vial-of-Life is literally a small plastic pill-type bottle, which is always stored in the refrigerator, and contains a persons medical history, list of meds and allergies. EMS know to look for it when responding to a call. This can save valuable time in treatment if medical personnel immediately have this information. Often EMS personnel try to gather up meds they can see and take them with the patient to the hospital. This method is not foolproof.
The Vial, which is free, if kept up to date, will ensure a patients medical team knows what it needs to know.
Mobley also plans to begin visiting businesses in town, to provide fire extinguisher training.
He will assist with the established Child Car Seat program that Cpt. Terry Keefer runs for the SFD.
Mobley hopes to work with DREAM and get a booth at Third Thursday events to get the word out.
Each month we would have different fire safety tips, he says. For example, in December, Christmas tree safety, October, Halloween safety, June, fireworks safety, etc.
A Third Thursday booth would also be a point for handing out Vial-of-Life bottles, making appointments to check and/or install smoke detectors or car seats, he continues.
Mobley is also taking over the public safety event planning responsibility. He will be in charge of such events as the annual fire safety parade that culminates at Lowes with a big festival.
Further, anyone wanting a fire truck at their event or a station tour should now contact Mobley.
I am really excited to be doing this, he grins. We have a lot going on.
Mobley will no longer be working the 24/48 shifts, which, he says, he doesnt mind because it gives him more time with his wife and kids. But I will miss being on the truck with the guys, he says. Mobley was on the B shift at Station 1, Engine 1.
To reach Cpt. Mobley, call 873-5107, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

U.K. government-backed Biomedical Catalyst Awards were given to Ixico and PsiOxus Therapeutics to accelerate translation of ideas into commercial products. Both companies are funded by the technology commercialization and investment company Imperial Innovations. Ixico will lead a project to develop a novel digital healthcare platform that provides earlier and more accurate diagnosis of dementia.
The firm plans to open up advanced investigative techniques usually only available in specialist centers to doctors diagnosing all patients. Computer-based tests of memory and thinking will be combined with computerized analysis of MRI brain scans to yield automated diagnostic reports that the firms hopes will lead to rapid treatment and support for people with dementia and their carers. The three-year collaborative project aims to demonstrate that time to diagnosis of dementia can be reduced by 15 months and to bring diagnosis rates closer to the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge target rate of 80%. Ixico will work alongside Cambridge Cognition, a developer of neurological psychological tests, and their project partners at King's College London, University of Sussex, and Imperial College London.
PsiOxus will initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial to assess the use of its ColoAd1 oncolytic vaccine in the treatment of platinum-resistant, recurrent ovarian cancer. The Octave (Ovarian Cancer Treated with Adeno Virus) study will be the second clinical trial of ColoAd1, a highly potent, broad-spectrum anticancer therapeutic capable of selectively destroying tumor cells at minute concentrations, according to PsiOxus. The study will assess over 50 ovarian cancer patients and will be carried out at multiple U.K. cancer centers beginning in 2013. Professor Iain McNeish, from the Institute of Cancer Sciences at the University of Glasgow, is principal investigator.
The government-backed Biomedical Catalyst is a £180 million (approximately $287.6 million) funding program for businesses and academics in the life sciences sector. It is managed jointly by the Technology Strategy Board and the Medical Research Council. As part of this round of funding, grants totaling over £39 million (around $62.3 million) have been awarded to over 30 projects led by SMEs and universities to accelerate the development of innovative solutions to healthcare challenges.

Trail Runs Cold For Teen Accused Of Shooting 3 People
Police thought they found the man accused of shooting three people this past weekend, but after an all-out manhunt Sunday afternoon, the trail turned cold.
Officers searched a wooded area near the former Holy Name High School on Wyomissing Boulevard after a Reading police officer reported seeing Matthew K. Perkins in the area.
Perkins, 17, is accused of shooting and killing Cesar Rivera, 22, and wounding two others people at a party off North 11th Street early Saturday morning.
"Without a question, this is a very dangerous guy," said Berks County Sheriff Eric Weaknecht.
Police said one of the shooting survivors was in critical condition at Reading Hospital. The other is expected to recover.
Along with a state police helicopter, several tracking dogs were brought in for the search, but the heat made it difficult.
"Because of the heat, the dogs are fatiguing very quickly," Weaknecht said. "So we have to get fresh dogs in to pick up the scent."
Eighteen Berks County deputies were already conducting a warrant round-up when they were called in to help. It was the first warrant round-up since Deputy Kyle Pagerly was murdered by a suspect he was serving a warrant on.
"I'm sure it's on the back of their mind, but that's what they do and what we do," said Weaknecht. "And we have a job to do, and we have to get it done."
Police called off the search around 4:00 p.m. when the tracking dogs lost the scent. Reading police believe Perkins could be armed and dangerous, so they're urging people to take a good look at his picture and keep a close eye out for him.

MIFFLINTOWN - Tension built over budget cuts and tax increases within the Juniata County School District may settle this year.
At a budget workshop held Tuesday in Mifflintown, Superintendent Richard Musselman said the proposed fiscal budget for the 2013-2014 school year includes balanced finances with no tax increase.
"We're not spending a dime more than we're bringing in," he said, allowing the district to put money back into education.
Local, state and federal revenues total an estimated $32,476,962 for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, said Rich Meily, district business manager. Proposed expenditures are balanced, matching revenue figures exactly.
School board members offered few immediate comments or concerns, but opened discussion over how funding will be used for extracurricular activities in the future. Musselman said the details of where to allocate specific funds will need to be discussed, but the proposal will allow the district to put money back into projects like replacing textbooks or updating technology.
"There's a lot of possibilities out there. If you don't start putting those things back in the budget, they will never come back," he said.
Musselman said the cooperation of the school board, administration and staff in recent years is what made the proposed budget possible.
"We wouldn't be having a budget like this," without making tough cuts during the past two years, he said.

Though it's technically spring, summer is in the air.
This means the roadside BBQ spits will be smoking, long-dormant motorcycles and boats will be taken for a spin, and every weekend from now until Halloween will be filled with food, fun and Ohioans mad with weather-related joy, hoping to squeeze every last second of it before winter.
T-tops aren't the only thing being shed. Ohioan skin, for months hidden by thick fleece, wool and corduroys, is being exposed to the elements, and, like some kind of translucent cave salamander, takes those first timid, blinding steps into actual sunshine. Flesh is instantly burned, eyes squint shut, but it feels good to be finally free.
I recently took that one small step for spring - one giant leap for Ohioans. I cast off my leggings and ventured outdoors naked from the knees down. Now, most of you know that nothing reveals your flaws like bright, natural sunlight - and when you're out in public, to boot. My first go-round without pants revealed that I seem to be much veinier than last year, and that my leg razor must be made out of safety scissors. Aghast, I vowed to resolve that and was secretly glad I was only surrounded by fish.
A few days - and degrees - later, it was deemed sandal weather. So off came my Keds, and out came my Frankenstein toes. I must be part Hobbit, because no girl should have toes that hairy. Also, it looked like I was playing kickball with a jagged ball of sandpaper. An evening sofa pedicure session was scheduled, and feet were filed and painted back to human form.
Speaking of feet, it was also time for the annual shoe rotation. I have a giant wooden box where I keep most of my many, many, many shoes. In winter, I say goodbye to my lovely sandals and heels and hello to clunky, practical winter shoes. While black boots look very chic with a winter ensemble, most of winter is relegated to shoes you don't mind having covered in sub-zero mush. Very depressing.
So, in the interest of space and time, I swap out my most-worn shoes of the season and line them up where they can be grabbed as I run out the door. I was relieved to toss bulky, salt-stained shoes into the box, and fish out my shiny blue sandals, pink kitten heels, yellow polka-dot espadrilles, gold gladiator sandals and other long-lost friends of fashion. Now that the toes peeping from them were less ogre-y, it was time to strut.
But again, the toll of Ohio body hibernation kicked in. That virgin between-the-toe skin instantly became blistered, as only a week or so of flip-flop training can break in that sensitive spot. The strut came to a screeching halt, as I spent the rest of the day gingerly shuffling. Band-Aids were peeled.
Last weekend, I took my kayak and a friend to Geneva-on-the-Lake, where I took an extended paddle around Lake Erie. After an hour on the water, I remembered that my arms hadn't seen sun that direct since the beginning of football season. Uh oh. After exposing my unindoctrinated friend to the beauty that is Eddie's Grill, I got back into the car, full and happy, but also fried to a crisp. And my T-shirt made for a weird pattern on my driving arm. Unevenly burnt, but at least off to a good start on outdoor presentability.
One more springtime frontier - allergies - was also fought and defeated. The first week of being exposed to freshly cut grass, flowers and nature in general was frought with runny noses, sore throats and nagging coughs. My poor sinuses were used to breathing inside air, and outside winter air was devoid of living plant life. That first week was chock-full of lovely pollens and danders, and boy, was it miserable. But my body, used to such rigors, quickly built up whatever nose-defense it needed to actually drive to work without sneezing so hard I veered off the road.
So, I emerge into summer a victor - legs de-pastified, toes de-haired, sinuses de-allergized. No need for a plastic bubble just yet. But it's not even June. Bring on the goldenrod and UV rays, summer. I'll be slathered in sunscreen and chowing down Claritin. With shoes to match.

STEUBENVILLE - The Golden Bears were unable to bring home the gold.
The Oak Glen volleyball team entered the OVAC Class 4A Tournament Saturday morning as the No. 1 seed as well as the class's regular season championship.
In the semifinals, Oak Glen faced off against fourth-seed Meadowbrook. The Golden Bears and the Colts battled it for two hard-fought games, but in the end Meadowbrook made all of the key players en route to pulling out a 30-28, 25-15, victory over Oak Glen down at the Crimson Center at Steubenville High School to advance to the tournament finals.

While the Colts went on to win the tournament title, the Golden Bears ended up winning the consolation final. Oak Glen defeated Union Local, 25-11, 25-16, inside the Joseph Stern Gymnasium.
With the split, the Golden Bears are now 27-4 on the season.
"We couldn't pass the ball," veteran Oak Glen head coach Ethel Riser said. "We couldn't pass the ball. We couldn't get it up to our setters and our hitters. We couldn't get the ball, and if you can't do that you can't win.
"Our passing game really cost us today."
Meadowbrook defeated East Liverpool, 25-15, 22-25, 25-19, to win the championship. East Liverpool defeated Union Local, 25-15, 25-23, in the semifinals.
The Potters were the No. 2 seed behind their local rivals. The Jets were seeded third in the tournament.
Individually for the Golden Bears in their match against the Colts, Morgan Poling produced three points, five kills and six blocks, Lacee Porter recorded two points, nine kills and four digs and Jessica Stivason netted four kills and one block.
Also Vanessa Hissam scored three points to go along with five kills, one block and four digs, Sydney Kell collected five points, 10 assists and two digs and Abby Tice tallied four digs.
Finally, Kaitlyn Smith contributed eight points and 12 digs, and Carissa Williams finished with four assists.
The Golden Bears had multiple opportunities to win the first game of their match against the Colts, but they were unable to convert any of their multiple game points. In the end, Meadowbrook, which had also failed to convert on some opportunities, finally put the game away with two-straight points.
The Colts carried the momentum into the second game of the match. The Golden Bears did not go away quietly, but Meadowbrook pulled out the 10-point win to advance to the title tilt against the Potters.
"Meadowbrook is a real-nice team," Riser said. "They are good at blocking. They have some good hitters. They just keep coming and coming. They don't give up."
Oak Glen's match against Union Local in the consolation final was a back-and-forth affair for the first part of Game 1. Then, the Golden Bears scored a point against the Jets, and Kell stepped up to serve. Kell served nine-straight points to end the game as the Golden Bears came away with the 14-point victory.
Oak Glen took care of business in the second game to earn the match victory.
"We played OK," Riser said about her team's performance against Union Local. "We did not play exceptionally well. We won a game, but we did not play up to our potential."
Individually, Poling picked up four points, three kills, one block and three digs, Porter produced seven points, two aces and three kills and Stivason netted three kills and two blocks.
Also, Hissam ended up with four points, five kills, one block and one dig, Kell tallied nine points and 13 assists and Tice collected one point, one kill and three digs.
Finally, Smith chipped in with one point, one ace and six digs, Williams contributed seven points and 13 assists and Madison Juszczak delivered one kill.
This was the second-straight year Meadowbrook defeated Oak Glen in the semifinals, and it is also the second-straight year that the Golden Bears ended up winning the consolation final.
Last year, East Liverpool, the No. 1 seed, defeated fourth-seed St. Clairsville, 25-15, 25-11, in the semifinals to move on to the championship game against Meadowbrook. The third-seeded Colts defeated No. 2 seeded Golden Bears, 25-17, 25-11.
In the championship game, East Liverpool defeated Meadowbrook, 25-19, 25-22, to claim the championship. Oak Glen defeated St. Clairsville, 25-17, 25-19, in the consolation final.
Oak Glen's next match is Thursday night against Hancock County and sectional rival Weir at the Carl Hamill Fieldhouse in Weirton.
"Today was very disappointing," Riser said. "When you work so hard throughout the year to get to this point, and then you don't play up to your potential, it is very disappointing."

Yellow Split Pea Dal
About the Author
15 comments:
I love when a don't know what to make for dinner and an amazingly delicious recipe gets posted, and I have all the ingredients. Going to throw my yellow lentils into a bowl to soak for the day. And amazing tip on the olive leaf extract. That is totally invaluable information.ReplyDelete
I have come to your blog only recently but have really enjoyed everything you are sharing. I too am a nutritionist- working up in Toronto.
I love when "throw together pots" turn out delicious!! This sounds very tasty and comforting. I am sorry to hear about your children getting chicken pox. I suppose it is best they all get it out of the way and then you don't have to deal with it again! I hope they recover soon.ReplyDelete
I have another question about beans! So with canned beans, they are obviously soaked already, so if you rinse and drain them can you eat them straight from the can or do they need to be boiled in water first?
Thanks for the tip on Costco, I will be checking that out for sure!
Hoping the kiddos get better soon!
Thanks for your blog, I love getting it in my email box!ReplyDelete
I am a big fan of just about anything curried and this dal looks so easy to make.
Here is my question to you, I have young kids also and I don't think they would ever touch something like this. How on earth do you get your kids to eat this, or do you make them a different meal???
Thanks, Tiff
Ali, this sounds like the recipe for Red dal soup in your book. I have to give it a try with the yellow pea!ReplyDelete
EVERYONE loves the Red dal soup, it's our favorite recipe. Pretty much in our refrigerator all the time. It's a default food if there is nothing else to eat...lol.
I know you probably won't like to hear this, but we love it with GF Hamplare's hot dogs!
- David D.April 7, 2009 at 2:29 PM
We make your red lentil soup frequently too. It is great that another commenter noted this too. I will try this one with the split peas. Do you think green split peas would work? I don't have any yellow peas on hand. Thanks for all of your great vegan recipes, keep them coming!ReplyDelete
I see you sure know how to use your spices in more of the traditional sense. The ginger, curry, and onions are slowly sauteed in oil to bring out their true flavors.ReplyDelete
Dhal and rice are staple foods in my home! I make many versions of dhal. Chana dhal, Matar Dhal (like you did here), Mung Dhal, and Masala Dhal.
Another great thing about these Indaian Stews is that they freeze very well! I will make a big batch of dhal and rice on Sundays and freeze portion sizes in small containers.
I have young children too and they love all of my dhal recipes. Maybe it is because I at a LOT of Indian meals when I was pregant! :-)
Just a quick note to let you know if you receive these posts by email:ReplyDelete
I forgot to add the tomato paste to the recipe when I typed it up! I just updated the blog and added it to the recipe (1 to 2 tablespoons) - this is a key ingredient that balances the flavors. Of course if you have a nightshade intolerance it will still be great without it.
Meghan - Hope enjoyed your dal tonight! I checked out your blog - looks great! Hurray for green smoothies!ReplyDelete
Coconutgal - You know, I don't believe that canned beans have been soaked. I would have to call one of the companies to find out. But yes, after you rinse and drain them you can eat them straight from the can without boiling. Eden is a good brand.
Tiff- yes my children eat this - my boys each had 2 bowls and the girls each had one big bowl! If you introduce these flavors early then their taste buds become accustomed to it and it. The first 3 years are the most important years for introducing new flavors, after that it becomes more difficult, but not impossible, to offer new foods. Hope that helps!
Pavlina - Glad to hear you all enjoy the red lentil dal so much! I bet you will love this one too!
David D. - I think green split peas could work, though you may get an interesting color from the green peas and yellow in the curry mixing. I would give it a try though!
yogamama - Wow, it sounds like you sure know your dals! I'd like to come to your house for dinner! Glad to hear your children love this food too!
Thanks for your comments! -Ali :)
My sympathies are with you regarding the chicken pox. My kids all had them at once too. Oh well, you might as well get over it in one shot (although it does drag out week after week). Wish I would have known about the olive leaf extract! Interesting and it makes sense, especially mixed with coconut oil.
I did my thesis paper Celiac Disease as well. Ugh, I remember those days. Although I didn't have thesis papers AND chicken pox going on at once. Thank goodness.
Now, on to the food. This split pea dal sound wonderful. I make chana dal with garam masala regularly. I love those types of dishes.
Hang in there!
I can't wait to read Tom's research paper. I bet he is finding there are a few such deficiencies. I've had a Vitamin D deficiency and a few others that have been helped with compounded vitamins. I'm guessing he's found some patterns. Where will his study be published?ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear that Chicken Pox is hitting the family. I hope it runs it's course soon.
Boy, lots of good stuff in this post (not the chicken pox, of course)! Can't wait to read Tom's article. It sounds fabulous. There are SO many doctors who give a patient a celiac diagnosis and send them on their way without any help on the diet OR nutritional supplements. In fact, many even say they are not necessary. Such shameful behavior IMO and poor care for one's patients.ReplyDelete
Dal is good and I love split peas!
Olive leaf extract ... good news to pass on to others.
Congrats on the great buy on quinoa from Costco. I have yet to step into one, but my GF friends keep enouraging me by info like this. :-)
Hugs to you and the kiddos! ... I had chicken pox as a child so I feel comfortable doing that. ;-)
Last, anyone who gets your book will be very lucky. I love it for all the basic cooking and food info as well as the recipes!
Thanks, Ali,
Yum... I really love dishes like this one! And I didn't know that olive leaf extract helps with chicken pox but I am going to definitely note that for when my daughter's gets chicken pox someday.ReplyDelete
I tagged you in a meme and gave you an award, hope you don't mind :)
In case you are looking for truRoots Quinoa and this is not available at your local Costco, you can buy it online at the company's webstore, www.truroots.com.ReplyDelete
I made this recipe tonight and loved it! However, it took WAY longer to cook than 45 minutes to soften the peas. Were you supposed to soak beforehand? I didn't think you had to soak lentils and split peas? It took about an hour and a half for the peas to get tender and creamy.ReplyDelete
I followed the recipe exactly as stated, so I'm not sure what went wrong - were we supposed to cover the pot? It just said simmer...
Hi, I am covering the pot, and keeping at a low bubble, because i had the same question...I didn't soak the yellow split peas, but rinsed them 3 times...I have the pot covered, but with just a little tiny opening so that no boil overs or bottom sticking happens, but am keeping my eye on it...stirring every now and then...ReplyDelete

12-Year-Olds Mirko Caballero and Ashima Shiraishi Send V13 in Magic Wood
Mirko Caballero and Ashima Shiraishi have switched from the pocketed limestone sport-routes of Ceuse, France, to the cool temps and granite boulders of Magic Wood, Switzerland. Wasting little time, the two 12-year-old climbers quickly dispatched One Summer in Paradise (V13). This was Caballero's first V13 and Shiraishi's second. Prior to climbing One Summer in Paradise, both had managed to send the line's shorter variation Pura Vida (V12), with Shiraishi climbing the problem in an impressive one day effort. 8a.nu points out that Shiraishi is currently the only woman to have climbed both V13 and 5.14c, and that she has now climbed both grades twice.
Sean and Brooke Raboutou (15 and 12 years old respectively) have also joined in on the Magic Wood sending spree. Brooke quickly put down From Darkness to Sunshine and Snee Sturm, both graded V11, and also powered through Pura Vida (V12). Sean has managed a one day ascent of Right hand of Darkness (V11), as well as sending both The Never Ending Story Part 1 and Part 2, which are given V11 and V12.

Chad Kroeger Rocks Out at Fiancée Avril Lavigne's Secret Show
Lavigne played a secret show produced by Talent Resources and CEO Mike Heller at The Viper Room in West Hollywood on Thursday to over 2,000 people – including Jack Osbourne – and Kroeger couldn't have been more proud.
"Chad was extremely supportive throughout the evening," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "He was rocking out to Avril's performance, dancing and singing along like no one was watching. He was solely focused on Avril."
As the "Here's to Never Growing Up" singer closed out the show, she thanked the crowd and then went to give Kroeger a "big hug and kiss." "They were both glowing," the source adds.
When they couple exited the venue, they stopped to sign autographs, but Kroeger made sure his bride-to-be was the main attraction.
"Chad didn't take too many [photos] or sign too many autographs because it was Avril's night and her time to shine. You could tell she appreciated him respecting that," says the source.

The Truckee girls basketball team finished 1-3 in the McQueen Tournament this past Thursday and Friday.
Playing shorthanded due to sickness and players gone, the Wolverines lost 57-40 to Bonanza, 53-24 to Argonaut (Calif.) and 45-30 to Ukiah (Calif.). The result of their one win, and who it was against, was not available.
"We played some really good competition," said Truckee head coach Geoff Stephens. "Had we had our whole team I think we could have won each game."
Truckee senior forward Jackie Bolton returned for the Wolverines' final game to help lift them to a 20-plus-point victory. Sydnie English scored 29 points in the game to lead the way.
In the absence of several players, Stephens said a handful of girls were able to get in some quality court time.
"Karina Nunes, Diana Rosas and Kate Traeger were able to play a lot, and it really showed," Stephens said.
Truckee, now 6-4 overall, is scheduled to play at Dayton on Wednesday before traveling to Elko on Friday and Spring Creek on Saturday.
The Truckee boys, meanwhile, dropped a tough Division I-A crossover game, 79-73, against visiting Fallon on Saturday.
The Wolverines led 46-38 at the half after outscoring the Greenwave 26-15 in the second quarter. But after scoring 16 points to Truckee's 13 in the third quarter, Fallon outscored the hosts 25-14 in the fourth to pull away.
Stats were not available for either team.
Like the girls, Truckee is scheduled to play at Dayton, Elko and Spring Creek this week. The Wolverines return home to host Incline in the opening Mount Rose League game Thursday, Jan. 10.
