The minute Connor sees Ana again, it reawakens a raw hunger. He must have her for his bondmate—his wolf cries out for it. But his human side knows he must proceed with caution because of their complicated past. If he is to truly have her body and soul, he must go beyond his burning desire and win back her heart. Whatever it takes, he is determined not to leave her side again. But Taggart and his rival pack are not their only enemies. A human element in town is targeting shifters. Their plan not only threatens Ana and Connor's future, but the lives of the entire pack…
"ALPHA INSTINCT is a wild, hot ride for readers. The story grabs you and doesn't let go."—Cynthia Eden, author of Deadly Heat
"Reus shows great promise and you'll look forward to visiting this world again soon!"—RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the "Moon Shifter" series! Twenty years ago the various shifter Councils around the globe united and decided to reveal their existence (along with other supernatural beings) to humans. Mankind now knows they've been living alongside those who can shift into animal form and some who must drink blood to survive.
Even though two decades have passed since their big reveal, it has given ignorant humans time to gather numbers and strength for their cause against shifters and vampires, beings they fear simply because they are different. Believing they aren't a threat, paranormal beings ignored the existence of groups like the Anti Paranormal League, allowing them to grow unchecked. Now Connor Armstrong's new lupine pack is paying the price.
Ana and Connor are the two main characters in Alpha Instinct, the first novel in this new series. They have a history together, which is a theme I absolutely love in romance, regardless of subgenre. I love when two people get a second chance because it brings up the question of what kept them apart the first time around and shows what's different between them this time. In Alpha Instinct Ana doesn't know why Connor left her so many years ago so this romance starts off with a lot of tension between them.
Ana loves her sisters and packmates more than anything. After all the males in her pack are killed by a mysterious poisoning, the remaining lupine shifters band together, and Ana is forced to take on the role of pack leader. But without an Alpha, the pack is vulnerable to her neighbor Taggart who wants not only their land, but Ana in his bed as well.
When sexy Scottish shifter Connor Armstrong comes back into her life, promising protection, it's almostenough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her before. Yet she can't forget the way he left without a single word, as if all the time they'd spent together meant nothing to him. She's forced to put aside her pride to save her pack. Violent attacks are escalating in town and she has no doubt that sooner or later people are going to start pointing fingers at her kind regardless of evidence. Unless they can figure out who's targeting them and why, a few cattle mutilations and property damage will be the least of their worries. And if Connor doesn't gain her trust, he'll never get the chance to claim the only woman he's ever wanted by his side.
Warning: Expect a feisty heroine who isn't afraid to use her claws, an adorable little jaguar cub who has no problem causing mischief, and a sexy Alpha wolf who's willing to do whatever it takes to keep his mate and pack safe from any threat—especially the increasingly violent group the Anti Paranormal League.
I hope you enjoy Alpha Instinct and all the characters introduced in this new series. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit my website, email me at email@example.com, or follow me on twitter. I love hearing from readers.
Happy Reading!

The Maui County Planning Department has issued a request for proposals for a new "small town planning" grant program.
The department is issuing grants for projects that will provide direct benefits to each of the 11 identified Maui communities - Haiku, Hana, Kaunakakai, Keokea-Waiakoa, Lahaina, Lanai City, Makawao, Paia, Waihee, Waikapu and Wailuku.
Projects must meet several criteria, such as being a direct benefit to the town and being manageable in term and scope.
A total of $243,000 was budgeted for the first-year program, so projects should be approximately $22,000 each. The department will be accepting and awarding proposals from December to June. The first round of approvals will be through December and every month after until each town has received one grant. Remaining funds will be awarded to any town.
The RFP and application forms are available on the Maui County website under "Hot Topics": www.mauicounty.gov/index.aspx?nid=121.
For more information, call the Planning Department at 270-7735.

Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Wilfong recused herself from several court cases during arraignments Friday. Wilfong cited conflict of interest with two cases and said a special judge will have to be appointed to hear the cases in the future.
One of the cases involves Clinton Dale McCauley, 21. He was named earlier this month in two indictments, one alone and one with other defendants.
In total, McCauley was indicted on 27 felony counts including grand larceny, conspiracy and third-degree arson, and two misdemeanor counts of petit larceny.
Steven Allen Pritt and Brandon Keith Shreve were named with McCauley in the second indictment.
Shreve, 26, was indicted on 15 felony charges including breaking and entering and grand larceny.
Pritt, 23, was indicted on 21 felony charges including of possession of a stolen vehicle and grand larceny.
Attorney Christopher Cooper, representing McCauley, made the request for the change because McCauley was named in the indictment along with Pritt and Shreve.
"The defendant (McCauley) is accused of breaking into my parents' place of business," Wilfong said. "It is proper for me to recuse myself."
Cooper said by looking at the indictments, McCauley was not involved with the breaking and entering Wilfong was referring to.
"There are numerous charges against him," Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Park said. "He is not named in that indictment (referring to the one with Shreve and Pritt)."
Cooper requested a new judge in the case.
"I understand," Wilfong said. "I am not happy about the situation. I will let the supreme court know."
Wilfong also recused herself from the arraignments of Pritt and Shreve.
"Two of the alleged victims are my parents," Wilfong said during Shreve's hearing. "The items stolen include the last disc of pictures of my grandparents before they passed away."
Wilfong also recused herself from a case with Robert Dale Howell. Howell, 41, who was indicted on 23 felony charges including obtaining money, property or services under false pretenses and two misdemeanors.
"His sister is one of my closest friends," Wilfong said.
Armentrout's trail was set for Feb. 6 for charges she is facing with Timothy Wayne Myers and Feb. 13 for the other felony charges. Her bond was set at $50,000 cash, surety or property.
Myers, 32, pleaded not guilty to four felony counts including possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance. His bond was set at $5,000 cash.
Wilfong asked Scott if he had taken any drugs in the last 24 hours and he responded, "no," but a random drug screen when discussing bail proved other wise.
When setting bond, Scott's attorney Dwight Hall requested a drop in the $25,000 cash, surety or property bond, but the drug screen showed Scott has recently used marijuana, morphine, hydrocodone, Suboxin and other substances.
"I don't know how he is alive right now," Wilfong said. "It is bad enough substance abuse he doesn't know what he is on."
Wilfong set bond at $50,000 cash, surety or property. She said if he makes bond he must immediately report to the Community Corrections program and submit to random drug tests.
Gibson, of Elkins, was indicted on two felony charges and four misdemeanors.
Bender, of Elkins, was indicted on two felony charges and two misdemeanors.
Hammonds, of Elkins, was indicted on two felony charges and two misdemeanors.
A joint trail for the three was set for Feb. 14-15.
Wilfong set Harris's bond at $50,000 cash, surety or property and said that he must check in daily with Community Corrections and submit to random drug tests. A trail date was set for Jan. 29.
Wilfong set the trial for Jan. 25 and bond at $250,00 cash or surety.
Thurston is set to be released from prison on Dec. 10. Wilfong set his bond at $25,000 cash, surety or property. A trail date is slated for Jan. 18.
Wilfong set bond at $25,000 and a trial for Jan. 29.
Wilfong set a $25,000 personal recognizance bond and trial for Jan. 25.
All four pleaded not guilty to all the charges in the 19-count indictment.
McCauley, an inmate at Huttonsville Correctional Center, was indicted on 12 felony charges including bribery of a public official and conspiracy.
Gibson was indicted on 13 felony charges including counts of bribery in official and political matters, and conspiracy.
Wamsley was indicted on one count of bribery in official and political matters, and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery, both felonies.
Howes was indicted on 15 felony charges including counts of bribery in official and political matters and conspiracy.
Wilfong set a trail date for Jan. 16-17. Howes was given a $25,000 cash, surety or property bond; McCauley's bond was set at $25,000 cash only; Wamsley's was set at $25,000 cash, surety or property; and Gibson's bond was set at $25,000 cash, surety or property. Wilfong gave Wamsley and Gibson 24 hours to post bond.
Wilfong set bond at $10,000 cash or surety and a trail date for Feb. 13.
Wilfong set bond at $10,000 personal recognizance and a trial date for Feb. 13.
Wilfong continued his $15,000 personal recognizance bond and set a trial date for Jan. 18.
Wilfong set bond at $100,00 cash only and a trial date for Feb. 6-7. Ayers is not slated to be released from prison until 2018.
Bail was set at $25,000 cash, surety or property for Harris, who has eight months to serve on previous charges. Trial was set for Feb. 15.
Tolson was charged with four felonies including wanton endangerment involving a firearm and one count of child neglect creating risk of injury; and five misdemeanors including three counts of assault on a governmental representative.
Bond was set at $20,00 cash, surety or property and trail dates were set for Jan. 10-11.
Wilfong set a trial date for Feb. 14. Bond was set at $1,000 cash only and Defibaugh will have to undergo random drug screening.
Wilfong set a trial date for Feb. 28 and March 1 and bond at $10,000 personal recognizance. William Monte Miller was the special prosecutor in the Slaughbaugh hearing.
"When he is brought into the jurisdiction, I need to know immediately so he can be arraigned," Wilfong said.
"The last contact I had with Mr. Bonilla was in this courtroom when he waived his right for extradition," Bonilla's attorney, Hawkins, said.
Hawkins said Bonilla was sent to his home country of Puerto Rico to face charges there. Wilfong issued a capias for Bonilla's arrest in case he comes back to the area.
Bonilla was indicted on three felony charges including fleeing in a vehicle while DUI; and 16 misdemeanors including DUI and fleeing on foot.

COLUMBIANA - Having not played a competitive game into the fourth quarter since the first week, Crestview was in unfamiliar territory when it saw what once was a 17-point lead morph into a tied game with 9:53 left in its Div. V playoff game against St. Thomas Aquinas on Saturday.
The rest of the fourth quarter played out with huge offensive plays and little defense on both sides. It was a test of wills the Rebels had not much time to study for throughout the regular season.
The Knights, poised to spoil the festive atmosphere, gauged their chance at stealing a victory with 1:42 left when a Josiah Moore 60-yard touchdown made the score 51-50.
St. Thomas set up for a two-point conversion, but Matt Hardenbrook, who gave the Rebels a 51-44 lead with a 40-yard touchdown run with 3:10 to go, intercepted sophomore Anthony Moeglin's pass to save the Rebels' perfect season.
"It really was a wake-up call," Crestview senior Matt Hardenbrook said. "But in the end we got it done."
Hardenbrook said he was not surprised the Knights (9-2) were going for two and was ready for the situation.
"They were just being greedy," Hardenbrook said. "They wanted the win. I read the ball. I saw the quarterback and I couldn't believe I picked it."
St. Thomas coach Tim Budd said he had no reservations going for two.
"Let's also realize there was no guarantee we would have stopped them after that," Budd said. "They had the ball last and we hadn't stopped them. Heck, yeah I'm going for two. Then and any other time."
The Knights made a stab at an onside kick following the two-point failure, but the ball was kicked out of bounds and the Rebels took over to preserve the win.
"I would have never thought the game was going to go down to the last play during the week of practice," Crestview coach Paul Cusick said. "As the second half unfolded, I knew that what it was going to be. Both offenses were making big plays."
Both offenses combined for 940 yards of total offense - Crestview 583 and St. Thomas 357 - in a rematch of a second-round game from last year's playoffs. Crestview ran away with that one. This time St. Thomas kept up.
Well, sort of.
"They're better (than us)," Budd said. "They score everytime they have the ball. Heck, we had a defensive breakout against them. We held them five points below their average. We busted our butts, but they're faster than us. All of them. They block well and they execute well. It's everything."
Crestview (11-0) opened the game looking much like it had all season. It was 17-0 with 10:08 left in the second quarter and St. Thomas was not generating much on offense. That all changed when Moore returned a kick-off 90 yards for a touchdown.
Crestview held a 24-14 lead at the half, but it could have been more. A time management error at the end of the half saw the Rebels run out of time at the St. Thomas 1.
Crestview scored on the first drive of the second half to extend the lead to 16, but the double dose of Moore and Bryan Wilkins snuck up on the Rebels and the game was tied at 37 with 9:53 left in the fourth quarter.
Moore finished with 143 yards rushing and three touchdowns, while Wilkins had 144 yards and three touchdowns.
"I wasn't worried about it," Cusick said. "Physically we conditioned for it. I have a lot of faith in them. We've been in these kinds of games before. I expected them to respond and they did."
The Rebels had a three-pronged running attack working all night. Quarterback Collin Gilbert posted 26 carries for 178 yards and three touchdowns. Hardenbrook had 18 carries for 134 yards and the final Rebel touchdown, while Nick Blower, who had 322 yards against Aquinas last year, had a relatively quiet 23 carries for 185 yards and three touchdowns.
Outside of those three, the Rebels needed big plays elsewhere. When it was tied at 37, Dimitri Gregory was called upon to do something big on special teams. He responded with a 74-yard kick-off return which set the team up for a go-ahead touchdown with 8:49 left in the fourth quarter.
"Coach said he needed a returner," Gregory said. "I was told I needed to step up and lead my team, so I told coach I wanted to go on return. I saw the hole and took it advantage of it. I know I'm slow and everything, but I thought I was going to score."
Gregory looked as if he welcomed the challenge so late in the game.
"When there's no pressure, there's no diamonds," Gregory said.
St. Thomas tied the game back up with 7:05 left, but Hardenbrook stepped up onto the scene with his 40-yard touchdown with 3:10 left to seemingly save the day.
"On one play I got caught and I remembered thinking I should have run as hard as I could," Hardenbrook said. "I'm so tired right now. Josh McDade and Kris Simpson had beautiful blocks for me on that play. I just ran as hard as I could."
The one-point victory earns the Rebels a rematch with defending Div. V state champion Kirtland on Saturday at a site to be determined. Last year the Hornets eliminated the Rebels 35-7 in a regional final at Mollenkopf Stadium in Warren.
"They're a measuring stick for all of us," Cusick said of Kirtland.

Who is Abel Wolman?
(Based on an article written by Dr. Howard Rosen, which appeared in the October 1989 issue of the APWA Reporter.)
With the 50-year mark as the traditional retirement goal, a career spanning 73 years is almost unheard of. That is, unless you're talking about Abel Wolman. (1892-1989) Although you may never have heard his name before, Wolman's work has had an impact on millions of people.
Wolman was born, lived and died in Baltimore, Maryland. His career began in 1915 and ended with his death in 1989. He was a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering in 1915. His first full-time job after graduation was as an Assistant Engineer with the Maryland Department of Public Health, a position he held until 1922.
During those years, at the age of 26, Wolman perfected the formula for the chlorination of urban water supplies. In cooperation with chemist Linn H. Enslow, Wolman took what was an empirical practice that was just beginning and gave it a rigorous scientific basis. As a result of Wolman's efforts, chlorination, which is still the primary method for water treatment, was made available to communities of different sizes and specific water treatment needs.
Wolman believed strongly in joining engineering practice with scientific theory. His personal research work with a university chemist, and then his association with Johns Hopkins University reflected his commitment to scientific research and his efforts to bring the benefits of the latest scientific work into engineering. Wolman was also an active participant in persuading the public and elected officials to support effective public works programs, with meeting opposition to chlorination one of his first battlefields.
Along with Dr. Albert E. Berry in Canada and other leaders in sanitary engineering, Wolman had to overcome often strong opposition to convince local governments that putting amounts of otherwise poisonous chemicals in the water supply would be extremely beneficial to public health. Through effective public speaking, writing, behind-the-scenes meetings, and whatever else it took, Abel Wolman helped persuade the profession and the public that improving the quality of water supply was crucial for the future.
From 1922 to 1939, Wolman served as Chief Engineer for the Maryland State Department of Health. His efforts there helped develop the plan for Baltimore's water supply so thoroughly and effectively that it remains well-provided for growth through the 21st century. His work also benefited water systems in New York, Detroit and Columbus, Ohio.
Wolman was a major figure in the public works programs of the New Deal and World War II. He was deeply involved with many of the programs associated with the Potomac River Basin, which through his efforts resulted in the formation of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin in 1940 and was named by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to be one of its first Federal Commissioners.
Engineer, editor and author, Abel Wolman served in literally scores of positions, each of which he took very seriously. At the same time, he established the Department of Sanitary Engineering in the School of Engineering and in the School of Hygiene and Public Health at Johns Hopkins University and served as Chairman from its start in 1937 until his "retirement" in 1962.
After World War II, Wolman helped create many of the key international bodies which have served to solve water resource and public health problems throughout the world. He was a member of the first delegation to the World Health Organization and was an active figure in the Pan American Health Organization. Wolman was chairman of the Board of Consultants to the Jordan River Development program which planned the water system for Israel, and he was a founder of the Inter-American Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering (AIDIS).
He was a dues-paying member of more than 100 professional associations and served as President of the American Public Health Association (1939) and the American Water Works Association (1942). Wolman was an Honorary Member of 17 different national and international bodies, including the American Public Works Association. In 1986 the City of Baltimore dedicated the Abel Wolman Municipal Building in recognition of his extraordinary service to the community. APWA's Public Works Historical Society presents the Abel Wolman Award each year to the author of the book judged to have made the best contribution to the field of public works. Wolman himself was the author of four books and 338 articles. His first paper was published in 1916, and his last appeared in 1987.

Hi, I am Daniel Moth
This screencast is one part of a 4-part series accompanying my MSDN Magazine article that you can read online: A Code-Based Introduction to C++ AMP.
Please watch first the screencasts that precede this part, and then follow the links below to watch the screencasts that follow it.
To learn more please visit the C++ AMP blog, and we encourage C++ AMP questions in the Parallel Computing in C++ and Native Code MSDN forum.
Oops, something didn't work.
Nice video. Thank you for uploading these
You know the OpenCL 1.1 HelloWorld example from "OpenCL Programming Guide" by Aftab Munshi (editor of the OpenCL specification) -after removing all the comments- is around 260+ lines plus a 10-line kernel, and it exactly does the same thing: adding the corresponding elements of two arrays and putting the results in a third array. After watching this video, I'm really questioning the OpenCL's execution model and the need for all that explicit context creation, command queue creation, program object and memory object creation and alike in OpenCL! If we can do the same thing with ~50 lines of code, and with the simplicity we see in this video, why should we even bother using an execution model like OpenCL's? a performance comparison between C++ AMP, OpenCL and CUDA would be great to answer that question (I haven't seen any yet) it will defenitely tell us if we really need a complicated execution model like OpenCL's (or may be where do we need such a model)
@AliKouhzadi: Glad you like it!
An even simpler example of showing how productive you can be with C++ AMP is our "Hello World" example. We also have learning guides for those familiar with other programming models, please get them here: CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute.
The performance is comparable between all these approaches, and in our tests is not a factor for choosing one over the other, even now that the product is in Beta and we are still tuning the bits. Once we RTM, we invite anyone to measure the performance difference between C++ AMP and any other approach and share their workloads and results on a variety of hardware for comparison.

Get to Windows Phone Mango #2: Adding FAS to XNA

This is the second in a series of videos that will detail how to add Windows Phone Mango functionality to an existing Windows Phone application, step by step.
In our first sample, we modified an existing XNA game to leverage the new Silverlight / XNA integration available in Windows Phone Mango. This allows us to utilize the Silverlight paging model to very easily create a 'pause' screen, that users will get when they return to the application, (after they've navigated away).
Having to navigate away, of course, is a common occurrence on a phone; users receive phone calls, are have to pay attention to external events, (like the street light turning green, for example).
Getting the pause screen to 'work' of course requires more than just adding it in Silverlight. We need to implement tombstoning and FAS, (the whole point of this sample).
For more detail, see our video walkthrough on Channel 9 here. There is also detail in the included word document TRANSCRIPT.DOC.
Here are some other resources you might find helpful as you consider adding Fast Application Switching to your projects:

Ted S. Warren/Associated Press file photo
CARSON, Calif. � David Beckham will announce the next stop in his soccer career near the end of the year. Until then, he�s focusing on winning one more trophy with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Beckham said Tuesday he has several �exciting opportunities on the table� to continue playing after he leaves the Galaxy next month, capping a six-season career in the United States with Los Angeles� second consecutive appearance in the MLS Cup on Dec. 1.
�I still feel that I have something left in me as a player,� Beckham said at the Galaxy�s training complex. �I still feel like I have one more challenge in me as a player. Even at 37 years old, I still can play at a high level. Where that will be yet, I haven�t decided.
�Right now my focus is on the final,� he said. �Once that�s out of the way, we have an (exhibition) tour to deal with, and then it�s Christmas, which we always spend in London, so I�ll be there, and I�ll make the decision then.�
The English midfielder wasn�t specific about where he might end up next, deflecting questions about every destination from Australia and China to France and Britain. While discussing his future in the most oblique terms, Beckham only confirmed he won�t move to New York or any other MLS team.
�There are options, and I�m very lucky at my age to have options,� Beckham said.
�People have talked about my retirement, people have mentioned will I retire, and I actually don�t feel I�m ready to retire yet.�
After two strong MLS seasons largely free from major injuries, Beckham said he�s leaving Los Angeles only because he reached every goal he set for himself in his landmark move stateside in 2007. He agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Galaxy last January after completing his initial five-year deal, but revealed the second year of his deal was a mutual option.
�I feel that I�ve been successful off the field, but on the field has always been the most important thing for me,� Beckham said. �To be able to win a championship last year, that was the final goal for me with this team.�
Given Beckham�s acumen for managing his worldwide celebrity alongside his soccer career, his next destination could be Australia�s A League, where five clubs have confirmed interest in acquiring him to boost the sport�s relatively low popularity Down Under, or China�s Super League, where Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka already are playing for Shanghai Shenhua.
Beckham politely declined to give any indication where he�ll play in the new year, but he confirmed he plans to become an MLS owner in the near future, sounding his usual optimistic notes about soccer�s future in North America. Beckham�s MLS contract includes an option to purchase a franchise when his career ends. He also did nothing to squash growing speculation he could become at least a part-owner of the Galaxy if he doesn�t get an MLS expansion team. AEG, the sports conglomerate that owns the Galaxy and the NHL�s Los Angeles Kings, is for sale.
�The foundations are now there for this sport to continue to grow,� Beckham said. �I�ve seen it grow in the last six years, and we all want it to continue to grow. My commitment as an owner, people will be well aware of that in the new year, and hopefully where that will be. And like I said, my commitment as an ambassador for this sport and this country won�t change.�
When asked whether he was aware the Galaxy are for sale, Beckham smiled and said: �I heard that. I heard that. We�ll see.�
Beckham announced his decision to his teammates earlier Tuesday, although coach Bruce Arena and star Landon Donovan already knew about it. Beckham said he got a round of applause and �a little abuse� from the Galaxy, who will attempt to win their second consecutive league title against the Houston Dynamo at Home Depot Center next Saturday.
�We�re all very aware of the timing,� said Donovan, the American star who clashed with Beckham upon his arrival in Los Angeles before forming a durable partnership. �It�s a good thing. He�s certainly going to be very motivated, and all of us who have been around are going to want to send him out the right way.�
Although Beckham is done playing for the Galaxy, it�s clear the global icon isn�t permanently leaving Hollywood. Beckham said his family considers it home, and he plans to �be at as many games as possible� next season.
�I�ll continue to support this club, because I love the players here,� Beckham said. �I love the fans. I love the ownership.�
When asked if he would miss Beckham, Arena smiled.
�He�ll be around,� Arena said. �David can talk about what David is doing, but I don�t think he�s leaving Los Angeles forever. He�ll still be here.�
When asked how Beckham would do as an MLS owner, Arena joked: �He might get rid of the coach. That might be one of his first acts as an owner.�
�I�m sure he�ll be very good,� Arena said. �My guess is David�s not going to be sitting behind a desk 12 hours a day in a management capacity. I think he�ll be a little bit apart, and come in when needed and do that. But I think his experience, his presence, his name is going to do wonders for whichever club he ends up being part of.�
When asked whether he could work for Beckham, Arena cracked: �I�ve been working for him for the last four years. I�m happy I�m getting a break for a little bit.�

INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA has released its most up-to-date statistics for the 2014 season and Stetson University goalkeeper Caili Guilday has finished the year with the most saves in the nation among Division I net minders. The sophomore made a total of 210 saves during her second year in front of the Stetson net, averaging 11.67 stops per game, also best in the country.
Guilday's season high 16 saves came on two occasions, once at home vs. Oregon (Feb. 10), and another time on the road against Detroit (Apr. 19). The Wallingford, Pa., native accumulated double-digit save totals in 14 of her 18 games played, including a dozen, in the A-Sun Championship Semifinals vs. Jacksonville (May 2).
The second year starter's finest moment of the season came Apr. 5, at Kennesaw State, when Stetson triumphed over the Owls, 23-21 in overtime. That's when she made 14 stops, including one in the extra frame to keep the contest tied, enabling the Hatters to eventually take the lead for good and come away with their first win of the year.
Guilday's 210 saves are seven more than Colorado's Paige Soenksen, who is in second place with 203. Her next closest competitor that is still playing is Virginia's Liz Colgan.
Colgan has stopped 180 shots this season, entering the Cavaliers' opening round game of the NCAA Tournament and is averaging exactly 10 saves per game. That means UVA would likely have to reach the championship game in order for Colgan to tie or overtake Guilday as the national leader.
The NCAA record for saves in a season is 320 by Towson's Dana Robinson in 1983, but the most saves in an 18 game season by a NCAA Division I goal keeper is 267 by Diane Geppi of Loyola Maryland, who accomplished the feat in 1984.
Guilday made a total of 98 saves during her freshman year of 2013 and now boasts 308 for her career.
During 2014, Guilday twice achieved saves totals of 16, 14, 13, 12, 11 and 10 and stopped 15 shots on one occasion. During her two seasons in DeLand, she has made 10 or more saves in a game 17 times, with her career high 17 stops coming at home against Bryant University, Mar. 13, 2013.
Guilday and Stetson's season came to an end last week, with a 20-4 loss to No. 1 seed and eventual champion JU in the A-Sun Semis. It marked the second straight season the Hatters have made an appearance in the four-team championship tournament.

Public Works Administrative Appeals Process
The Public Works Administrative Appeals process, detailed on this page, is closed as of 2/17/2014 and is no longer available. Please use the Public Works Alternative Review process in its place.
- Public Works Administrative Appeals apply to the City requirements for improvements made to the public right of way as part of a Public Works Permit. This process is not to be used to appeal technical requirements that are part of a public works permit.
- Anyone who has received a decision from the Public Works Bureaus (Water, Transportation, and Environmental Services) as a result of a building permit review, a land use review, an early assistance appointment, or a public works inquiry may appeal the terms of the decision.
- The following actions are NOT subject to appeal: approval or denial of requests for design exceptions; previously established City standards and specifications; system development charge assessments; and matters subject to the authority of any other City appeal body, including land use appeals.
- If your project meets the intent, but not the letter of the code, you must have an alternative method of meeting the intent of the code approved by the appeals process. The appeal must demonstrate that the proposed alternative is equal to or better than what the code requires.
- Public Works Administrative Appeals are not land use review appeals or building code appeals.
Prepare Your Appeal
A complete Public Works Permit Appeal Packet consists of:
- Public Works Administrative Appeal request form
- Supporting materials such as maps, drawings, plans, reports, and analyses
- $250.00 Appeal fee
The request form provides the primary information from which the Public Works Administrative Appeal Committee will make a decision. It is critical that information provided on this form be clear, concise, accurate and complete.
Supporting materials - 11"x17" maximum page size: Maps, drawings, and plans should provide sufficient information to detail the areas that are being appealed as well as any areas that may be affected by or that may affect the appeal. Reports, analyses, and other data should be included only if they will help to clarify the appeal and make it easier for the committee to understand the conditions being appealed or the reasons for the appeal.
The $250.00 appeal fee is due at the time the appeal request is submitted and must be paid before the request is accepted as complete. Payment may be made by check or before 3:00 p.m. in-person by cash or credit/debit card.
How to File Your Appeal
You may submit your Public Works Administrative Appeal Request by mail or in person. Mail or deliver to:
Public Works Administrative Appeals
1900 SW 4th Avenue, Suite 5000 (5th floor)
Portland, Oregon 97201
For questions regarding the appeal request submittal, please call 503-823-7884.
Appeals will be screened for completeness. Submittal of inaccurate or incomplete forms may cause a delay in hearing the appeal.
Appeal Process
The Public Works Administrative Appeal process allows an appellant to submit an appeal to the Public Works Administrative Appeal Committee to consider the proposed alternatives and/or recommendations that are provided in the application by the appellant. First level Public Works Administrative Appeal applications that are submitted by 5pm on Friday will be heard the following Wednesday and a decision rendered at that time. An appeal may be deferred for hearing at a later date due to the number of appeals scheduled for hearing, the completion of preliminary reviews by the public works bureaus, the complexity of the appeal being submitted, or other unforeseen factors. An appeal fee of $250 is required for the first level of appeal.
Appellants seeking an additional appeal after receiving the first-level appeal decision may submit a second appeal to the Public Works Appeal Panel. The appellants (or a representative) will be required to present their case in person to the Public Works Appeal Panel, should they choose to take their appeal to that level. This panel may uphold the Public Works Administrative Appeal Committee's decision or it may recommend a new decision be considered by forwarding a recommendation to the Public Works Appeals Board. An additional $250 appeal fee is required for the second level appeal. No additional fee is required for appeals sent to the Public Works Appeals Board.
View Appeal Results
Decisions are usually available the day following the appeal hearing by viewing Permits/Cases for the project site on www.portlandmaps.com or by calling 503-823-7884.

Google Nexus 4 vs HTC DROID DNA
With our normal usage, which consists of primarily surfing the web, checking emails, and sending text messages, the Nexus 4 coughs up a single day of usage out of its fully charged battery – whereas we're only able to get close to the 10 hour mark with the DROID DNA. To be fair though, we tested the Nexus 4 using T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, which isn't as much of a battery drain when compared to the LTE connection with Verizon that we used on the DROID DNA. Regardless, we're certain that the DROID DNA can inch close to a day as well if it's sticking with old fashion EV-DO 3G connectivity.
Without a doubt, the competition is fierce, even from within the Android camp! And not surprisingly, these two premier smartphones show us that exactly. In the end, though, pricing is something that manages to come around – getting us to think which of the two provides for the most value.
Looking at their outright off-contract pricing, it's a unanimous win for the Nexus 4, rightfully so, seeing that $300 will nab you one heck of an awesome device that's blessed from el Goog as being part of the Nexus family. Knowing that, it's the experience of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean that makes it so very compelling right now, as few devices at the moment offer it. And as we look down the road, there's no question that it'll get software updates considerably faster than its rival.
On the flip side, if we were to look at contract pricing, we'd vouch to invest in the DROID DNA more – even though the two are selling for $200. Why so? Well, it's hard to not fall in love with its impressive 1080p display, and on top of that, it's sporting LTE connectivity that most top-tier smartphones offer in this day and age. Indeed, it might take some time for it to see certain software updates, but nevertheless, the Sense experience has always been a delightful one.

Anyone with a google nexus device can clear data on the framework app and check system update - 4.2.1 is out - root is same as 4.2.
I believe either phone is a winner ...at least to me....

I have the HTC Droid DNA. I got it on the 21st & rooted it on the 25th. To me there is nothing more STUNNING than the DNA's 1080p TRUE HD Screen. It literally is a technological marvel. I have NEVER used a phone that has such a detailed screen EVEN during direct sun light. You can see EVERYTHING. The perfect phone for outdoor use.
The 5" 1080p HD screen is the differentiator compared to the LG Nexus 4. Now that I have the HTC Droid DNA rooted it literally becomes a Nexus device for me because I am only going to rock Android 4.2.1 AOSP ROM's on the Epic phone that is the 4G LTE HTC Droid DNA.
To me the HTC Droid DNA is a better device than the LG Nexus 4. Verizon's 4G LTE is WAY more common & covers over 225 million people compared to the small foot print HSPA+ has in the U.S.

And there are people who say anything higher than "Retina" is waste.
I think right now most apps do not support 1080p, but once they do DNA will have clear advantage.
W/o the price consideration I cast my vote to DNA, otherwise it's Nexus 4.
16. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
This same issue happened when 720p HD screens first came out. This time around the 1080p transition should be a lot faster because the 1080p push is coming & they have the experience from the last major jump in pixel density. Basically 1080p is the NEW norm for ALL high-end phones that will start to come out.
No high-end phone will be released with a 720p HD screen in 2013. All the new "Spring" phones of 2013 will be 1080p IF they are high-end.
To me the HTC Droid DNA is future proof because 1080p now has been reached & should be the norm for years to come. The SLCD-3 technology is truly impressive, I mean you literally have no issues reading even the finest details under DIRECT 12'noon sun light. You REALLY won't believe it until you actually experience what I am talking about.
The HTC Droid DNA has the BEST display EVER made in my opinion. It has NO flaws even outdoors & that is truly amazing.

battery life?
42. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Sorry about the late post.
Battery life on the HTC Droid DNA is great. I got this 2 days 14 hours on a single charge using the phone moderately. That means average amount of calls, texting, emailing, videos, gaming & web surfing. The one thing I hate about HTC Sense is that it doesn't show actual screen on time.
My estimate was maybe 3 to 3 1/2 hours of screen on time on my HTC Droid DNA.
I say this because when I was on my GNex an average day would be 1 day 3 hours on a single charge with 1hour & 18 minutes of actual screen on time. My usage hasn't changed just my device has changed.
I really hope this helps, the SLCD-3 & the Qualcomm Krait S4 Pro are VERY frugal with the battery. It's a GREAT combination.

So you pulled the trigger on the DNA huh? Good call. I ended up getting the Note 2 last minute last week. Pretty happy with it. I should have some cm10.1 ports very soon from my international counterparts. I checked out the DNA, and thought about it. But coming from the note 1, i couldn't see myself getting a smaller screen. Amazing phone none the less. Kudos +1
20. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Note II but when I actually saw the HTC Droid DNA's 1080p HD screen I was sold. I figured that the Samsung Galaxy Note III will have a 6" 1080p HD screen so I figured I will rock the 1080p HTC Droid DNA & be an early adopter of the fabulous 1080p SLCD-3.
Can you imagine a 5.5" or 6" 1080p Super AMOLED RGB HD display? I am salivating that the thought. lol
Kudos to you too! Your Samsung Galaxy Note II is indeed epic also!
To me the world's 2 best phones are the HTC Droid DNA & the Samsung Galaxy Note II by a landslide, followed VERY closely by the LG Optimus G/LG Nexus 4.

hey, SAE,
Remember when we were arguing over chips and I said anything from the Quad pro with Adreno and up was more than anyone will need for quite a while?
Totally right on that.
Dude, I run the nexus 4 clocked DOWN to 700mhz and it has ZERO slowdown on anything... games, browsing, facebook, camera, voice commands.. nothin.
Huge battery savings though.
When you root it, give it a shot.. knock it down to 1ghz see how it does.. if its still running fine, clock it lower. Its a HUGE battery savings.
32. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Remember when you where bashing the S4 and saying that is only an slightly upgraded S3 and the 4414 was going to be better then the S4 pro. Guess you were totally wrong on that.
26. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I think most screens were a huge upgrade over my note 1 screen. But I have to admit I saw the DNA and instantly stopped what I was doing. Amazing device. This is the right direction for HTC. If they use the DNA specs for HTC's rumored nexus, I will be sold it and be happy with it. I was comparing the screens between the N4 and DNA, both are absolutely amazing. On another note, I sold my note for a good price, and got my note 2 from a buddy brand new for 650 off contract. Too much of a good thing to pass up. One thing I am enjoying from TW is the multi-window functionality. If they can just incoporate that with a custom rom running so AOSP love that would be perfect haha.
Remix, I do the same on my Note 2. I'm running it on stupid low numbers and I don't experience any lag what so ever. I'll try the 700mhz and let you know. That's pretty insane btw haha.
27. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Forgot to ask, how's the battery life been for you so far?
44. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey read my post 42 or 43, there were multiple people asking the same thing.
Sorry for the late post. lol
24. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you do realize that HSPA+ has a much bigger footprint than LTE right? you could combine all the LTE networks together and it doesnt equal HSPA+.
However, being on VZW, you need LTE since otherwise your on 1.5mb/s "3g". really they should call that 2g now if people want to argue that 42mb/s is somehow 3g (its not folks get over it)
I'd add a slighty bigger battery to the note4 and some better camera software (which I will add), and otherwise its stunningly perfect for me.
Everyone has their preference.
However, 4.2 and 4.2.1 should be AVOIDED if you can. Its a huge battery drain. While google now works a bit better, the rest is a trade off. stay on 4.1 for a bit.

PA the DNA runs JB also . Both are nice devices and credit should be given to both devices for running JB in conclusion vice just the N4
18. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
The DNA runs JB 4.1. The Nexus runs JB 4.2.

why no lumia 920 comparison PA? c'mon..
4. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
There are a few lumia comparisons on the link I posted....
9. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
i mean compare it with other phones, like 920 vs iphone or S3 or nexus 4
11. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
yes, there are some comparisons there...
12. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
but its not lumia 920 against other flagship.

Nexus 4 I choose you!!!
8. wendygarett (unregistered)
Omg 1080p does visible o.o!!! Thank you pa for showing us the display comparison...
6. mydi.maus (unregistered)
both are great phones there is just up and down for either,but im gonna go with dna on this one,...
14. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I agree totally. The DNA's 1080p TRUE HD Screen makes the LG Nexus 4's 720p HD screen obsolete. As a matter of fact it makes EVERY other display out in the market obsolete.
This time NEXT year every HIGH-END smartphone will have a 1080p HD screen. The future is now & 1080p is the NEW standard.
21. android78 (unregistered)
I thought you was a apple fanboy???? I love android and will never switch sides to the dark side, I got the dna, and the sg3. The dna is the best smartphone i ever owned, I like the nexus 4, but I have always been a fan of htc phones, the htc sense, beats audio, now the 1080p screen. How the hell can ppl even want a i phone 5. Go get that Htc Droid Dna!!!!!!!
7. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
This will come down to the price point. If you can get the DNA under $400 off contract, I'd easily recommend it over the Nexus 4, but over that price it's Note II territory, and if you're willing to pay for a high-end device, that's by far the best you can get.
Luckily for us I expect the DNA to drop to that mark in months or 3, and it will still be very much futureproof.
10. OHaZZaR (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
I completely agree. The Droid is a pretty awesome device with it's 1080p display but that's all it has that the competition doesn't, save for the beast of a quad-core processor that many phones are getting these days. The GALAXY Note has the S-pen and the apps that come with it, an even larger screen, it's selling like hot-cakes and if the original Note's any indication, it'll get updated quite frequently, not on time of course but it'll get them. The Droid DNA will probably get supported for a shorter amount of time. Everything else is just personal preference and Nature UX really grew on me.
17. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
DNA best in the market this year.
22. gboo2565 (Posts: 10; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
I cant understand the advantage of on screen buttons, as all it does is makes the screen so much smaller and wastes the space under it...
23. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
DNA 1080p screen makes all other phone screens look weak. This screen is ridiculously bright, sharp and colorful(you'd swear it was Super Amoled). While it does have a little bit of light leakage in total darkness, it's inconsequential as when it's on it really does a number on your eyes. I still can't stand Sense as it lacks things you would expect, like a blasted file manager, what the hell HTC? I don't like having to plug up to a PC to search out files on my phone, I hate that sort of dependency it's a stand alone phone the PC is only for emergencies. The volume rocker is kind of indistinct but the power button is in the perfect place, place where you're least likely to touch. unlike the GS3 easily invoked power button. Google are being a bit short sighted with no Flash on built in, when even Google's own Google Play music upload page tells you it needs flash to display fully...stupid. Flash on the DNA looks amazing videos are crystal clear and vibrant and no lag anywhere. I still hate sense with a passion, it's worse than anything but TouchWiz. Samsung have a bad habit of changing the name of things and acting like they created it, S Beam is bloody Android Beam, works exactly the same way, NFC enabled hold phones together and tap the screen to send. At least HTC doesn't try to pretend they created something that was already there.
Now Google needs to get to get on the Google Initiative so OEM can stop forcing us to have our phones bogged down with their extra OS tweaks that don't always help Android look and work better. DNA is one of the best phones tech wise that is; this year that 1080p SLCD3 running on S4 Pro with 2GB of RAM, only down sides are low standard memory and battery capacity.
30. OHaZZaR (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Aug 2011)
Sounds like it has the best of Super AMOLED displays without the blue tint. I just want a 1080p Super AMOLED display, I'm a huge fan of super high contrast ratios.
33. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Dude just download EZ file manger for it. The Nexus does come with one either. It is not hard.
28. Aeires (unregistered)
Great comparison, thanks John.
Today is my second day with the N4 and the point about it being slippery is right on solid, it's something to really get used to that I haven't reached yet. Even pulling it out of my belt case I'm forced to be more thoughtful of how I grab it. I was also concerned about the screen after coming from three different Samsung phones that have SAMOLED screens but the clarity and sharpness on the N4 is impressive. I'm really loving this phone so far and I bought it partly due to some of the articles posted here. Thanks.
29. ghanemsam (Posts: 64; Member since: 21 Nov 2012)
Droid DNA is the best around
34. samystic (Posts: 230; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
is PA not interested in a full fledged review and comparison of Nokia Lumia 920? i waited patiently to comment / complain on this.
35. VictoriaFont (Posts: 3; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
Compared to the HTC, the Nexus looks like an LG Intuition! The DNA is wild. I need it on AT&T's 4GLTE here in Austin. I LOVE the high-res screen; it's amazing. It makes the photos of the styles I create in my hair salon really glow for my clients after I finish; I e-mail them the shot so they can do the same styling at home.
37. Andrew44 (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
Htc said they are releasing the droid dna and one x+ with 4.2 jellybean also htc wants to have the color white but verizon is holding them back with the "droid theme"
39. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Please back that up with proof. I'm pretty sure both said Jellybean 4.1. There aren't currently no phones released or unreleased that I know of other than Nexus devices that have been anounced to receive 4.2.
38. Andrew44 (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
Battery life is just right considering the new LCD3 1080p True HD display takes up less battery then the LCD2 720p display. Only thing i hate is no micro sd slot. I wish we got the HTC J butterfly same phone micro sd 3 colors white black and red
50. flyguyee (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
I would love for there to be a Micro SD card slot on my Nexus 4. I read an article that they choose to do this because adding a Micro SD card slot requires using an old file system. The newer type is faster and better, but it can't have a Micro SD card slot. It's probably also because the companies want to make alot of money. It was $50 more for me to get the 16 GB version of the Nexus 4, but it cost LG less than $10 for the upgrade. >:(
41. jo_Ny (Posts: 27; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
Tried both. Price aside (besides Nexus4 is unavailable...) DNA is CLEAR WINNER, PERIOD. Both have premium feel but the DNA is way more robust. DNA display is amazing which make it better for multimedia. Dedicated amplifiers make the sound quality DNA way better. LTE DNA wins again. Camera is average on both.
49. flyguyee (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
I own a Nexus 4 and I love it. In terms of hardware they Droid DNA clearly wins, but in terms of software and price the Nexus 4 wins. I love the vanilla experience of Android 4.2.1. The build for Droid looks cluttered and old fashioned. The Droid DNA is locked to Verizon, while the Nexus 4 can be used on any cheap GSM carrier. I don't mean to start a war, but I prefer the Nexus 4 overall.
51. tha.fox (Posts: 100; Member since: 30 Nov 2011)
I own a Droid DNA and if you are planning on rooting it after buying it the DNA is a clear winner. I just rooted my friends nexus 4 and as long as the dna is de-sensed its just as fast but has a better screen faster better looking pic gallery and the camera quality is much better. The screens are alot different dna shows true white nexus is yellowish. dna is alot brighter also.

Nope, the actress seemed worry-free while reading the menu at Brick + Mortar in Santa Monica, Calif., on Thursday. Johnson, who arrived with a blond gal pal and grabbed a seat on the patio, was dressed down in a striped black-and-white T-shirt, had her hair casually clipped up in a messy bun and "didn't have a stitch of makeup on," according to an onlooker.
The future Anastasia Steele enjoyed a kale salad and chatted animatedly with her friend.
"She appeared to be in great spirits," the onlooker adds, and was "laughing easily."
Guess she's not too heartbroken over the loss of her Christian Grey?

Three years after animal-cruelty charges were brought against Beth Lynne Hoskins, her much-delayed trial moved into the defense phase Tuesday in Aurora Town Court.
Hoskins faces charges tied to a March 18, 2010, raid by the SPCA Serving Erie County at her Aurora farm where the agency seized 73 Morgan horses that allegedly had been living in squalid conditions.
The first defense witness, Dennis Lang, CEO of the Erie County Agricultural Society, which owns the county fairgrounds, testified that SPCA officials contacted him once before the raid.
Under questioning from defense attorney Thomas J. Eoannou, Lang said that then-SPCA Officer Lyndsey Styborski told him sometime in the first week of March that the agency needed stalls to house about 50 horses that would be confiscated.
Lang also testified that he was told it was "a definite seizure" and to keep it confidential. Lang said he met with Styborski and another SPCA official, whom he said he did not know, but ended up later identifying as Beth Shapiro, deputy director of the SPCA.
"I told her I'd house the horses, but they'd have to be out by the end of March because I had an event/horse sale" in the horse barn, Lang said.
From a defense standpoint, Lang's testimony was crucial because Eoannou was trying to show that the SPCA had a definite plan – not a contingency plan – far in advance of the raid. "I've been saying for three years that this was preplanned," Eoannou said after cross-examination of Lang ended Tuesday afternoon.
The prosecution, however, tried to poke holes in Lang's ability to accurately recall dates of contact with the SPCA in advance of the raid since it occurred more than three years ago and there was no record of his desk calendar to prove when the SPCA contacted him and when he met with them.
Lang was the only witness called by the defense Tuesday in Hoskins' nonjury trial before Town Justice Douglas W. Marky on 74 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.
When the trial resumed Tuesday, Eoannou asked for dismissal of all charges; Marky reserved decision on that point. The prosecution had ended its case Monday afternoon with cross-examination of veterinarian Charlotte Tutu.
An interesting twist that emerged with Lang on the stand was that he openly acknowledged knowing Hoskins since she was about 8 years old and that she was a student of the late Harry Embree, a horse trainer and mentor of Hoskins. Lang said Tuesday court session was the first time he had seen Hoskins in five years.
"Obviously, I knew Ms. Hoskins and it was quite a surprise," Lang said of when he learned of the planned confiscation.
Lang, a professional horse trainer for most of his life, said he had often seen Hoskins at horse shows over the years. At one point, in the mid-1990s, Lang said, Hoskins brought a few of her horses to his place to have him take care of them while she was between barns.
Under cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Matt Albert, Lang acknowledged he would see Hoskins at horse shows when she was a child, into her teens and 20s. "She was in the horse business," Lang said.
When questioned further by Albert, Lang said he had a financial relationship with Hoskins for about six months when he took care of a few of her horses. After being pressed by Albert about the timing of the SPCA's contacting him, Lang said he had no record of the meeting date.
Lang also said he was surprised to hear Hoskins was going to be prosecuted criminally and acknowledged that he wanted to help her. He said Eoannou contacted him about 2½ years after the raid to give a statement to the defense.
At first, Albert did not want to begin cross-examination of Lang, saying that Eoannou had not listed him as one of 20 potential witnesses he might call. The list includes SPCA Executive Director Barbara S. Carr, SPCA attorney Alan Donatelli and agency spokeswoman Gina M. Browning. "[Eoannou] neglected to put Mr. Lang on the list. … to put all the cards on the table," Albert said.
Eoannou insisted he had put it on the record that he was calling Lang, who was on the witness stand for a little more than an hour, except for a brief recess.
At Marky's suggestion, Albert said he may recall Lang as a witness for further questions but was not yet certain.
The trial has had its share of adjournments and delays and resumed earlier this month after nearly a 100-day lapse since November.
When the trial will resume is uncertain because of the schedules and availability of witnesses for the defense. But there might not be any action in the trial again until the first week in April.

Oops, something didn't work.
Anybody else having these Ch 9 videos hang up lately? I get LONG pauses of "buffering"...
ALSO, the controls don't work right with FF 4.0.1.
@Mark: We are getting more reports of buffering than normal, but what issues are you seeing with FF 4.0.1? I'm running it right now and the video controls see to function as expected...
@Duncanma: Controls works as long as player is not buffering. When it is buffereing none of the controls work in neither IE9 nor FF4. What's worse, there seem to be some bug in the player code that after a number of clicks on various buttons player just hangs and the only resolution is to close and restart the browser (at least that's true for IE9).
I have been experiencing this same issue for several weeks. I'm using IE9, but I've also tried FireFox and get the same issue.
Once it hits buffering, it just hangs forever
I also find that it seems to happen when I go full screen, and then click on another window (if that helps)
Yeah, Bout FF4 i had the same issue with the controls not working. and not just on this site. i want back to FF 3.6.17 and everything is working fine.
some how the color is green now

Traveling with children? Rest assured our inflight and airport crew will be on hand to help make the trip a comfortable one for your child, and a peaceful one for you. Plus, our kid-friendly onboard options will keep them happily entertained from takeoff to touchdown. For travel tips and resources, here's your JetBlue guide to a less stressful family flight.
Know what you can (and cannot) carry onboard by familiarizing yourself with TSA regulations .
Have your little ones bring their own carry-on* backpacks filled with crayons, books, games and their favorite toys.
Give you and your family ample time (2 hours for domestic travel, 3 hours for international) to check baggage and move through security.
Arriving at the airport earlier means your family can spend more time walking around. Burn off some of that extra energy and tire those little jetters out. For toddlers, T5 at JFK includes a kids' play area located near Gate 12.
Wear slip-on shoes, keep jewelry to a minimal and avoid wearing a belt, so you have fewer items to take off through security.
JetBlue offers pre-boarding for families with children under the age of 2, so you can have early access to overhead bins, secure car seats and get your kids comfortably seated on the plane.
Schedule your flight during your child's naptime. When they're snoozing, you're cruising.
*weight and size limits apply.
Turn traveling time into learning and reading time. Take advantage of the traveling experience to help your child explore new worlds, and build their language and reading skills. Before you take off, download, print and pack the free Soar with Reading Activity Kit.
For more information on TSA policies regarding traveling with kids, please click here.
Raising a future pilot? Visit ShopBlue for JetBlue toys and apparel for children of all ages. (And there's lots of cool stuff for the grown-ups, too.)
Traveling through JFK? Check out the map below for family-friendly options in T5.
We'll keep your kids entertained, and you happy.
JetBlue offers pre-boarding for families with children under the age of 2, so you can have adequate time to stow away the diaper bag, secure the car seat and get your kids seated comfortably on the plane. See below for more information about traveling with the littlest ones.
Flying on their own can be an exciting experience for a child, but a nerve-wracking one for the parent. Rest assured that JetBlue crewmembers will be there to offer guidance and assistance. See below for helpful links about unaccompanied minors (UMNR).

Sean McGonigal scored seven of his 23 points in overtime to lead Brown to a come-from-behind victory over Niagara, 75-74, Tuesday night in the Pizzitola Center in Providence, R.I.
It was a matter of the Purple Eagles (7-8) being unable to hold a lead against the Bruins (5-8). Niagara led 37-27 at the half but went scoreless the first 4½ minutes of the second half as Brown closed the gap. Niagara was 0 for 5 from three-point range during that dry spell. NU led 62-56 with 1:32 to play in regulation after a Tahjere McCall layup, but Matt Sullivan of the Bruins scored six points in a row to tie it, evening the score at 62-all on a three-point shot with 13 seconds to go.
Niagara led by three points early in the OT, but McGonigal tied it with a three before a jump shot by Cedric Kuakumensah gave Brown the lead for good.
Sullivan had 20 points for Brown.
Four Niagara starters were in double figures — Ameen Tanksley (18), Juan'ya Green 17, Antoine Mason 13 and Devon White 11.
Around the nation
• Quinn Cook scored 20 of his career-high 27 points in the second half after Ryan Kelly left with an injured right foot, and No. 1 Duke beat Clemson, 68-40. Clemson had 10 points at halftime, its lowest-scoring first half in 12 years.
• Jabari Brown had career-bests of 22 points and five three-pointers as Missouri won in its Southeastern Conference debut, beating Alabama, 84-68.
