Man tied to Chico day care charged with sex abuse against 3-year-old
Thomas Lee Lewis Sr., 63, held on $1M bond
A man who helps run a Chico day care is accused of inappropriately touching a 3-year-old child, the Butte County Sheriff's Department said Wednesday.
Thomas Lee Lewis Sr., 63, works at Grandma Linda's Day Care, on Godman Avenue, according to a news release from deputies.
The department started investigating the sexual abuse allegations on March 11.
After conducting a forensics interview with the child, and an interview with Lewis, officials arrested the suspect on Monday.
Lewis is now held at the Butte County Jail, in Oroville, charged with oral copulation on a child younger than age 10.
His bond is set at $1 million.
Detectives aren't sure if additional victims are involved. Anyone with information is asked to call 530-538-7671.

RELEASE: Power of Progressive Economics: The Clinton Years
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Email: email@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today a new issue brief released by the Center for American Progress demonstrates ways in which the progressive economic strategies employed during the Clinton administration helped turn a floundering economy into a robust one and how those lessons can apply to today's economy.
The Clinton administration employed an economic strategy that focused on policies that invested in people, innovation, and infrastructure—investments that strengthened communities and our middle class. By pairing that strategy with a smart fiscal approach, during President Bill Clinton's two terms in office, his administration and Congress transformed a weak economy into a fundamentally strong one, turned deficits into surpluses, and created the conditions for strong future growth. And because Clinton saw the changes globalization would bring to the world economy, his administration began to push for the kind of solutions our country would need to prosper in the 21st century as well.
Entitled "Power of Progressive Economics: The Clinton Years," the brief documents that the progressive economic strategy employed during those years accomplished the following outcomes:
- Grew and strengthened the middle class by rewarding work, modernizing the social safety net, and helping families lift themselves out of poverty
- Built the foundation of a 21st century economy through robust investments in education, science, technology, and infrastructure
- Encouraged investments in America's communities, particularly those located in inner-city and rural areas
- Accomplished all of the above while closing the fiscal gap
In the eight years that followed the Clinton administration, policymakers failed to build on this strategy, and the United States' position of strength was lost. As a result, the U.S. economy faces even greater challenges today than it faced when Clinton took office.
Today, as our nation fights its way out of the worst economic crisis in 70 years, President Barack Obama is working to once again put in place a progressive economic strategy. Many of the progressive economic strategies championed in the Clinton years can be employed today to strengthen the middle class, invest in the future, and put the economy on a firm path to growth once again. This issue brief examines the accomplishments of the Clinton era and highlights the lessons we can learn for use today.

CHICAGO -- As it is in many other food categories, light is where the growth is. In the beer category, light and low-calorie beer sales are poised to overtake those of regular beer, which have been ailing as diet-conscious beer drinkers opt for lighter versions, according to a new report from Mintel International's office here. The popularity of lower-cal beers is reflected at the shelf, where they're taking over more display space, retailers said. "Low-carb and light beers are beginning ...

According to a letter, FEMA said it reviewed the state's appeal to help but decided that the explosion "is not of the severity and magnitude that warrants a major disaster declaration."

PORTER, IN — The fisherman who found an African-American woman's body in a northern Indiana lake Sunday says he hopes the family of missing Kalamazoo Dr. Teleka Patrick can finally have closure if an autopsy reveals the body is hers, according to a report from WOOD-TV.
"The biggest reward is the family can have some closure," Kevin Crepps, 43, told WOOD. "That's the only thing I can think about, you know? Having them have closure for their daughter."
Indiana officials are expected to perform an autopsy Tuesday on the body Crepps discovered around 7:10 a.m. Sunday floating face down in the southeast corner of the Lake Charles, which lies only a few hundred feet from where Patrick's car was found abandoned on I-94 several months ago.
Patrick, a 30-year-old medical resident with the Western Michigan
University School of Medicine, went missing Dec. 5. She was
last seen leaving the parking lot of Borgess Medical Center after work.
Her car was found about two hours later in a ditch off mile marker 22
along westbound I-94 near Porter, Ind.
The Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller will hold a media conference at 10 a.m. Wednesday to answer questions relating to the Patrick case. The Sheriff's office has declined to comment on the discovery of the body up to this point, except to confirm that a woman was found in the lake.

We Don't Need a National Energy Plan
William Tucker, Nuclear Townhall

Former Senators Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi, and Byron Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota, have teamed up to form a Bipartisan Policy Center that is putting out the word that what we is need a Bipartisan National Energy Plan. As an editor at RealClearEnergy, I must admit I see this story about twice a day. Every editorial writer in creation has already written his piece about how we need a National Energy Plan. But bipartisan, hey that must be something new, right? The two parties working together? That will do the trick, no? Well, no.

Employees who still have health insurance at work are shouldering much higher deductibles, $1,000 on average, larger co-pays and more costs out of pocket.
Even with that shift, employers report their health insurance premiums were up 6.1 percent in 2008. Without such moves, employers foresee rates rising by 7.7 percent next year.
Efforts to hold down health insurance costs also are rewarding employees for healthy habits.
Details of the 2008 health insurance scene were unveiled recently by the National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans, conducted annually by Mercer Health & Benefits LLC.
The steepest jump in costs came in deductibles for traditional Preferred Provider plans, going from $500 last year to $1,000 on average this year.
That does not include the increasingly popular wrinkle that provides a Health Savings Account, or HSA, a pre-tax deposit of $1,100 minimum, to cover an employee's deductible.
In Michigan, rising health insurance costs shift to employees
• Average employer pays per worker: $9,513
• 39 percent of employers shift cost with higher deductibles, copay, out-of-pocket expenses
• One in five employers provide "consumer-directed" plan
• Preferred provider (PPO) or Point of Service (POS) plans cover 93 percent of employees
• Employees chips in $86 a month on average for one-person coverage in a PPO/POS
"The introduction of the HSA may have changed employers' thinking on just how high a deductible can go without causing employees to revolt," said Greg Rhodes, a principal at Mercer's Grand Rapids office.
"Raising the deductible has become the fallback for employers faced with cost increases they can't handle.
"It's the easiest way to reduce cost without taking more out of every employee's paycheck."
Untangling Insurance Lingo
HMO: Health maintenance organizations. Uses a network of health care providers; no coverage outside the network.
PPO: Preferred provider organizations. Some incentives to use network providers, but outside-network providers also covered. Also Point of Service, or POS.
CDHP: Consumer-directed health plan. Employees tap spending accounts -- Health Savings or Health Reimbursement --for routine services. Other claims covered by traditional plan with high deductible.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
With the Federal Reserve kicking off the October meeting of its rate-setting committee, stocks are rising this morning, with the S&P 500 and the narrower, price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) up 0.21% and 0.25%, respectively, at 10:15 a.m. EDT.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended on Sept. 30 after the market closed yesterday. The iPhone maker beat Wall Street expectations for the top and bottom line, earning $8.26 per diluted share on $37.5 billion in revenue. However, iPhone and iPad sales, respectively at 33.8 million and 14.1 million, were at or slightly below the bottom of the range analysts had forecast. Gross margin came in at 37%, and Apple expects it to remain constant in the current quarter, with a guidance range of 36.5% to 37.5%.
All in all, it looks like a respectable, if not spectacular, quarter from Apple. The stock is flat so far this morning. For more on this topic, check out the "5 Key Takeaways From Apple's Earnings Call."
What constitutes slightly disappointing iPhone sales for Apple would delight competitor Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) in light of the quarterly results Nokia reported this morning (Microsoft is acquiring Nokia's handset business). The Finnish handset-maker saw 40% growth in unit sales of its Lumia smartphone but it is starting from a much smaller base than the iPhone to achieve just 8.8 million units.
Furthermore, revenue across Nokia devices and services division fell 19% year on year to 2.9 billion euros, with negative operating margins to boot. As Reuters pointed out this morning, the chasm in scale in the smartphone market between Nokia and its chief competitors is wide; trying to bridge the gap will be an enormous challenge for Microsoft. Samsung Electronics sold 88 million smartphones in the third quarter -- 10 times as many as Nokia. The 33.8 million Apple iPhones sold in the same period and Huawei's 13 million units put the No. 2 and No. 3 makers solidly ahead of Nokia, too.
Finally, while Apple CEO Tim Cook remained coy about the timeline for the release of a new product category, Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) is pushing forward with a "viral" rollout of its Google Glass. The "Explorers" -- testers and early adopters who received about 10,000 pairs of the wearable technology -- will each be able to nominate three people to purchase the device over the next several weeks.
Apple: Tim Cook won't say, but it's coming...
Apple has a history of cranking out revolutionary products -- and then creatively destroying them with something better. Read about the future of Apple in the free report, "Apple Will Destroy Its Greatest Product." Can Apple really disrupt its own iPhones and iPads? Find out by clicking here.

The Watermill is beautiful and the food there is amazing! The staff was so accommodating.
Posted by Tara & Johnny
All I have to say is that the Watermill made my wedding the best night of my life. My every dream came true. Go there and see the banquet manager Bob. Highly recommend it. It's just that simple!
Posted by Nicole & Vincent
AMAZING, PERFECT, THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The staff at the Watermill from the beginning is so nice, they make you feel so comfortable and welcome. Our wedding day was the most Amazing day and we honestly can not come up with one complaint. Rich was our Matre D for the night and was beyond accomadating. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of before the wedding even began, serving food and drinks to the entire wedding party and families that arrived early. When it was time to get the rehersal done, he had everyone ready to go and ON TIME! We were not running late in the slightest bit. (which is a huge pet peeve of mine). He then showed us the reception room before anyone went in, and it looked perfect. Again I found nothing wrong with a thing and I could praise him for days. My bridal attendant Marie was like a friend to me, she did things for me before I even asked her. She too went out of her way to accomadate everyone, but put my husband and I first. She too was simply amazing and can find not one thing to complain about. The food was of course beyond delicious, people are still talking about it. The service, EXCEPTIONAL, the entire wait staff was so attentive and on point, and can find not one thing to say bad. Our cake looked perfect, thanks to our captiain Jose, who decorated it with all the flowers the florist brought with no problem. Jose made sure we had food on our plates always, we got to eat all the entrees we wanted, and had the staff waiting on us hand and foot.I really could go on and on and praise The Watermill for their outstanding service, exceptional food, and AMAZING staff. I have not one negative thing to say and wish I had a reason to use them again in the near future!

I just got married at the Watermill and have to say that it was absolutely amazing!! Sean, Alicia and the rest of the staff were great. Alicia attended to me every step of the way and anything I needed, she was there. Sean was a great maitre'd and on top of everything, when I saw the florist didn't set up the centerpieces the way I wanted them, Sean had his staff fix it. I have gotten so many compliments from my guests on the service that they have received from the Watermill and everyone was extremely impressed!!!

We had our wedding at Watermill on July 10th 2010. It was absolutely perfect! The maitre'd and bridal attendant took care of everything on our special day! The food was magnificent and the beautiful grounds allowed for countless photo ops! Samantha, the wedding coordinator with Watermill ,was also amazing-she made our wedding planning experience that much more enjoyable!
Posted by Amanda & Douglas
We couldn't have picked a more beautiful place for our wedding. Besides the breath-taking ambiance, the friendliness of the staff was second-to-none! Our room was decorated like a fairy tale. They made us feel like the most important people in the world, everything was just perfect. Our bridal attendant Kelly, was so helpful, thank god for her!! My mother lost the back off of one of her earrings and Kelly was nice enough to give hers to my mom so that my mom wouldn't have to take her earrings off. She was always there when we needed her! The gardens are beautiful, the lobby is beautiful, the bathrooms are beautiful, everything was just beautiful! Big thanks to the Watermill for making our day perfect!

The entire staff at WM was amazing and gave us our dream wedding. The food, the service, the decor--outstanding. The WM was perfect for us because it actually felt like a home and the traditional style of the Astor room was exactly our taste. Jim and Dottie were our Maitre'D and bridal attendant and were wonderful!!!! I had nothing to worry about!
Posted by Jill & Brian
The Watermill was my dream wedding come true! The grounds are beautiful, and my pictures all came out great. The service was impeccable, they treated me and all of my family and guests like gold! And the food not only looked fabulous but tasted phenomenal, and everyone is still talking about it! You can't go wrong!
Posted by Kimberly & Ralph
From our first meeting with our banquet manager until the last moments of our reception, the staff of the Watermill proved to be completely amazing! They helped to make our day completely stress and worry free--the bridal attendant and maitre'd took care of everything for us so we could enjoy our day to the fullest--and we did! The food and service were wonderful, and our guests have been complimenting us on our wedding ever since.
Posted by FranM & John
Watermill – What can I say – PERFECTION from the moment we walked in the door until we left. We have received raves galore from our guests about the service, food, cocktail display, décor everything. People are calling to say it was the best wedding they ever attended. They even opened the cocktail hour 15 minutes early. They handled little problems like one couple deciding they wanted to sit someplace else (don't ask) and thus displacing two other people, with ease and professionalism. The bridal assistant Sally made sure my husband and I had food wherever we were even bringing drinks out to us on the dance floor when we looked like we needed them. The Maitre'D did a great job keeping things moving along on time. Ladies if you have chosen Watermill you will not be disappointed.
Posted by Christy & Josh
Brian was our banquet manager and was such a pleasure to deal with. Our wedding was perfect! The food was absolutely delicious, the people were so kind and were there for any little thing we needed. Years later guests from our wedding are still talking about how beautiful the Watermill was and how great the food was. My photographs came out so beautiful, especially the one of us in the gazebo and on the bridge. I can't seem to say enough about the Watermill except so far three people who attended our wedding have had their weddings there too! I would definately recommend the Watermill for your wedding or social event. Brian was the best!! Thank you, Watermill!!!!

What if Letterman had succeeded Carson?
Marvel Comics used to publish "What If…?," a title that explored alternative universes triggered by a slight tinkering with past events.
Journalists seldom indulge in such flights of fancy. Still, with Jay Leno preparing to face off against David Letterman in latenight — renewing a battle interrupted by Leno's ill-fated move to primetime and following an amusing Super Bowl rapprochement — it got me wondering: What if NBC had given "The Tonight Show" to Letterman in the first place, as he always wanted?
Unlike some scenarios — such as the first issue of "What If?" in which Spider-Man joined the Fantastic Four — this one isn't particularly far-fetched. NBC execs wrestled with the Leno-Letterman choice once it became known the latter wouldn't settle for staying in the "Late Night" slot, and there were high-ranking allies within the network who favored installing the gap-toothed host as Johnny Carson's successor.
Had that happened, Leno almost surely would have gone elsewhere — probably CBS, which was circling like a hungry shark. Like Letterman, Leno would have started from scratch, taking over a timeslot then occupied by cheesy latenight dramas under the "Crimetime After Primetime" banner.
In terms of tone and style, though, Leno's comedic sensibility would have actually provided a more complementary fit with CBS' heartland audience. And Letterman would have slid into the "Tonight" seat with the blessing of Carson (who preferred him) and a soon-to-arrive
primetime boost from shows like "Frasier," "Friends" and "ER," whose hipper "Must-See TV" audience would have been more compatible with his sardonic brand of humor.
Both hosts, in other words, still would have been successful — perhaps more so — while avoiding much of the acrimony associated with Letterman's leap to CBS. With Leno less apt to play the aggrieved party, among the losers in this revised chain of events would have been the New York Times' Bill Carter, who would have found it difficult selling a book (much less an HBO movie adaptation) that would have been far less zesty.
A more interesting question is whether Conan O'Brien — the then-unknown NBC tapped to replace Letterman on "Late Night" — would have ever landed that gig had Letterman stuck at NBC.
Based on the available evidence, it appears unlikely.
Letterman, after all, is a fountain of neuroses, and the latenight succession battle certainly did nothing to quell them. When Letterman launched a CBS companion program in the mid-'90s, "The Late Late Show," he turned to Tom Snyder as its first host.
Although he lauded Snyder as a "talented broadcaster," it was obvious he chose him in part because Snyder's low-key interview format represented no threat to him. Given that, it's difficult to imagine Letterman sitting idly by while NBC tapped a young host with a similar comedic sensibility — even one as unknown as O'Brien was back in 1992.
In other words, Coco would have been a no-go from the get-go.
The constant in both universes is that Letterman and Leno's fates were inextricably entwined, because so few performers — either due to talent, temperament or work ethic — are suited to fronting a nightly comedy program. The two had plenty of stand-up contemporaries who also cut their teeth on "The Tonight Show" and are seldom seen these days.
It's hard to envision an accomplished malcontent like Letterman being completely satisfied even had he been anointed the heir to Carson, whose shadow looms so large over latenight's clown princes as to flummox Freudian analysis. (When Letterman signed a "Late Night" contract extension with NBC during Brandon Tartikoff's era, the host issued a statement that said, "I'm not sure how, but I'm convinced I've been screwed.")
Still, had Letterman emerged the victor at NBC, it's possible both hosts would not only have been happier (or at least less miserable) but more popular.
And while there's usually nothing to be gained from agonizing over "what if…," after the bad blood and taunts that spilled out over NBC's recent latenight mess, it's clear that for Letterman the old scars have never entirely healed.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The founder of South Carolina's Honor Flight organization, Bill Dukes, has been named a civilian liaison to the Army.
The State newspaper reported Friday that the 71-year-old Air Force veteran said he wants to tighten bonds between South Carolina and the Army.
The Secretary of the Army chooses individuals for the post. Dukes is one of two representatives in the state.
Since 2008, Dukes has organized 19 free Honor Flights, flying 2,500 World War II veterans to the nation's capital. He also owns the Columbia restaurant Blue Marlin.
In the Army post, Dukes follows Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce chief Ike McLeese, who died last year.
Fort Jackson outside Columbia is the Army's largest training post. The Third Army is headquartered at Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Remembered as a devoted family man with a gregarious personality, Daniel P. Piliere, 46, died Monday at his home in Great Kills.
Born in Schnectady, he was brought to Staten Island as a child and raised in New Dorp.
Mr. Piliere graduated from New Dorp High School and attended the College of Staten Island. He was employed as an interstate tractor-trailer driver, and worked for Michael's Moving & Storage in Mariners Harbor for 15 years.
"He was a very, very happy person, a jokester, and everybody who met him liked him right away," said his wife of 15 years, Doreen Spinelli. "He was everyone's best friend. He was my best friend, too. I loved him from the day I met him."
Mr. Piliere, a lifelong Jets fan, enjoyed attending football games, going to the movies, and spending time with his family, especially his 9-year-old son, Daniel. He was looking forward to the birth of his stepdaughter Tiffany's first child, in June. He also treasured a close relationship with his older sister, Josephine Egan, family said.
In addition to his wife, Doreen, son, Daniel, stepdaughter Tiffany, and sister Josephine, he is survived by his stepson, William Spinelli; his mother, Bridget White; his brother, Jesse, and another sister, Nicole Fluty.
The funeral service will be Thursday at 8:15 p.m. in the Casey McCallum Rice South Shore Funeral Home in Great Kills. Arrangements include cremation.

Annual Lunch with Warren Buffett Auction
|Email Print
Every year Warren Buffett auctions off a lunch date to benefit the Glide Foundation. The Glide Foundation describes its mission as creating "a radically inclusive, just and loving community mobilized to alleviate suffering and break the cycles of poverty and marginalization." It's a noble goal and it's not surprising that Warren Buffett has supported this organization for years in this way.
The winner last year was Courtenay Wolfe, president and chief executive of Canadian hedge fund Salida Capital, who shelled out $1,680,300.00 for lunch with Buffet and seven of Wolfe's closest friends. It wasn't the highest amount ever paid for lunch with Buffett, that honor goes to the 2008 winner Zhao Danyang, manager of Hong Kong-based Pure Heart Asset Management. Zhao Danyang paid out $2.11 million dollars (check out how he used the power of the press to get a nice return even before sitting down with Buffett).
Here are previous winners and how much they paid:
- 2003 – $250,100 – David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital hedge fund,
- 2004 – $202,100 – Jason Choo of Singapore (later increased his donation to $250k)
- 2005 – $351,100 – Anonymous winner
- 2006 – $620,100 – Yongping Duan, a famous Chinese business figure who founded Subor Electronics Industry Corporation and BKK Electronics Group.
- 2007 – $650,100 – Two investors, Mohnish Pabrai, of Pabrai Investment Funds, and Guy Spier of Aquamarine Capital Management LLC. Pabrai will pay 2/3s, Spier the other third.
- 2008 – $2.11 million – Zhao Danyang, who runs the Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund in Hong Kong.
- 2009 – $1.68 million – Courtenay Wolfe, president and chief executive of Canadian hedge fund Salida Capital.
You have to pre-qualify but you can bid here. Any guesses on how much this will go for? 100 BB for the closest guess without going over, contest ends Friday at noon (auction ends won't end until about 12 hours later).
The contest is closed, the bidding has ended, and the winner will be paying $2,626,311.00 to have lunch with Warren Buffett.
Congrats to Brad for getting closes with a guess of $2 million!{ 32 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

PAST THE NO TRESPASSING SIGN, THE LOCKED gate and the steep, unmarked red-dirt driveway twisting up into the hills near Birmingham, Ala., James Redfield sits on the porch of his lakefront cabin, shivering a bit in the chilly morning air. "The last thing I want to be is somebody's guru," he says thoughtfully, looking out over the pine trees and blossoming dogwoods and sipping a cup of herbal tea. "The world doesn't need another Shirley MacLaine."
But like it or not, Redfield, 44, is being hailed as a spiritual pooh-bah, thanks to the phenomenal success of his first novel, The Celestine Prophecy. The story of an American's adventures in the Peruvian rain forest in search of a manuscript containing nine insights into life and spirituality. Prophecy has soared to the top of bestseller lists, making Redfield, a former children's therapist, one hot guru. After peddling copies of his self-published book for over a year to New Age stores. Redfield sold the hardcover rights to Warner Books for 8800,000 last December. To date. Prophecy has sold over 500,000 copies, and Redfield now receives hundreds of fan letters a week as well as faxes from agents and film producers—and even the occasional smitten disciple who drops in unexpectedly from as far away as California.
Critics have been less enthralled. Tin' Minneapolis Star Tribune called the book "New Age pop psychology in the form of a bad novel...so turgid and self-important that to categorize this as literature makes no more sense than calling a connect-the-dots painting a work of ail." But Prophecy isn't New Age nonsense, insists Red-field, though he agrees there's been plenty of that around. "The New Age was hilarious," he says. "People wearing little pyramids on their heads, pursuing it in a pretentious way. But wherever there's a counterfeit, there's also the real thing. This book puts into words how to experience spirituality.
Born and raised near Birmingham, Redfield—one of two children of an artist father and a homemaker mother—says his soul search began in his youth, when he learned about salvation at the local Methodist church. "The dialogue there was that salvation comes by grace, that you open up and you get it," he says. "But how? The details of that were not discussed." Studying psychology at Auburn University, Redfield earned a master's degree in counseling in 1974 and for the next 15 years worked as a therapist for troubled children in Auburn, Ala., and later in Birmingham.
All along, Redfield says, he was forming ideas—such as absorbing energy by getting in tune with nature—that would find their way into Prophecy. In the mid '70s he traveled to the Peruvian Andes, where he heard of a missing ancient manuscript rumored to hold mysterious insights into the meaning of life. But it wasn't until 1989 that he quit his job in order to write full-time, most often at a Waffle House near Birmingham. "That helped give me a sense of a generic audience, to keep the story simple," he says.
Prophecy was almost finished when he met Salle Merrill, 33, a former massage therapist, whom he wed last year. (He will not discuss a brief marriage to a speech therapist in the late '70s, his two children. Kelly and Megan, or his divorce—other than to say it was amicable.) After the manuscript was rejected by a string of small publishers, Redfield spent $13,000—his life savings—and published 3,000 paperback copies in December 1992. He and Salle began hawking them out of the trunk of his Honda Accord to New Age bookstores all over the South. They sold out within weeks and, eventually, Redfield sold 150,000 self-published copies, triggering a bidding war among major publishers.
Not indifferent to material pleasures, Redfield—already at work on a Prophecy screenplay and a sequel called The Tenth Insight—is building a larger home near his cabin on Stoney Butte and plans to lour Europe this fall. But fame and fortune won't mean abandoning the contemplative life he shares with Salle and their cat. Meredith. "I'm a visionary writer, and all the high-profile stuff Can interfere with that," he says. "There are a whole bunch of very authentic, down-to-earth people who are still exploring spiritual transformation in themselves. The search goes on."

Manchester United target Villa and Silva
Published 30/10/2009
Manchester United are set to splash the Ronaldo cash in January with a double raid for Spanish stars David Silva and David Villa.
Both players, who have also been targets for Liverpool in the past 12 months, are likely to be sacrificed by Valencia who need to sell off their prize assets.
Sir Alex Ferguson is poised to use £50 million of the world record £80 million Ronaldo fee in in the January transfer window in the sensational swoop.
Barcelona are also in the market for lethal hitman, Villa, but United hope a deal can be struck before the Spanish champions have a chance to pounce.
Villa's team-mate, midfielder Silva, is almost certain to be included in the deal as United show their intentions of claiming a fourth Premier League crown in a row.
Debt-ridden Valencia refused to sell talisman Villa and Silva over the summer despite a host of clubs wanting him.
But United are on alert after Valencia director Fernando Gomez last night admitted both players could leave the Spanish club.
"The club made a great summer effort to keep our players but our economic situation remains serious," he said.
"It was a success to keep them, but there comes a point when you can't stand it any more. We may have to sell Villa."
Fergie disagrees with Villa's price tag but was impressed with him at Euro 2008 and believes Silva, 23, could add flair in midfield with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes nearing the end of their glittering careers.
While Ferguson is eyeing up new stars, the fringe players showed what they can do last night as goals from Michael Owen and Danny Welbeck saw off Barnsley in the Carling Cup.

Mobility Electronics patents programmable power adapters
June 17, 2005 Mobility Electronics has announced that it has obtaining a new U.S. patent covering programmable power adapters. Programmable power adapters have an advantage in that a single adapter can be configured to power a range of mobile electronic devices with differing power requirements. The new patent, U.S. Patent 6,903,950, extends Mobility's power converter technology to cover next generation power supply architectures that will utilise intelligent digital configuration and control methods for programming the output power of its adapters.
The Company has also been awarded Canadian Patent 2,454,044 covering a combination AC/DC power adapter with interchangeable tips that program the adapter to supply an appropriate level of power to a mobile electronic device.
Mobility Electronics currently has over 180 patents and patents pending in the United States and throughout the world to protect its technologies, with approximately 150 relating to power technologies.
"This new U.S. patent secures the intellectual property that will allow our future power adapters to be even more flexible in meeting the power requirements of mobile electronic devices, and result in widespread compatibility that alternative power adapters won't be able to match," said Charles Mollo, CEO of Mobility Electronics.

Woman killed by another vehicle after hitting deer
BEDFORD -- Pennsylvania State Police said a woman was fatally struck by a pickup truck after she hit a deer then got out of her vehicle to warn other motorists to slow down.
Troopers said the driver of the other vehicle swerved, but couldn't avoid hitting 57-year-old Glenda Riley, shortly after 10 p.m. Monday.
Police said the Everett woman was on Route 220 north of Bedford when her vehicle hit the deer. As other passengers in her car tried to remove the animal's carcass from the road, Riley stood in the road flagging down other motorists in an attempt to slow them down.
The other driver, a 48-year-old man from Manns Choice, told police he tried to slow down but couldn't stop his vehicle before hitting Riley.
Police haven't charged the man.
State leads in number of deer-vehicle crashes
PITTSBURGH -- Drivers are navigating into the peak season for deer-vehicle crashes, a category in which Pennsylvania leads the nation.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Wednesday that a study by State Farm put the state's total crashes with deer at about 120,000 for the 12 months that ended in June 2012.
The study said the average claim was about $3,400.
State Farm said Michigan has the second-most such crashes, at 87,000.
Drivers in West Virginia are most likely to hit a deer, a 1 in 38 chance.
The odds in Pennsylvania are 1 in 73. The peak season for crashes runs now into mid-December.
Drivers are advised to slow down, use high beams when possible and be careful around dawn and dusk.
Boy accused of rape as brother watches
SHARON -- A 17-year-old boy was charged with raping a mentally challenged woman while his 14-year-old brother watched.
The (Sharon) Herald reported the incident happened Saturday afternoon at the woman's home, while the boys were visiting and asked to borrow cigarettes.
Sharon Police Chief Mike Menster said the boys followed the 32-year-old woman into a basement bedroom when the boys attacked her and the older one raped the woman.
Police said the victim's 8-year-old son saw the incident and alerted his grandmother, who called 911 and chased the boys away.
Police said the woman later identified both boys.

Tovbot's Shimi made its first public appearance two days ago at Google I/O, where not just one but three Shimis performed in perfect coordination. Tovbot was formed earlier this year
by a group of robot researchers and entrepreneurs hailing from Georgia Tech, IDC in Israel, and MIT Media Lab. [Their] goal is to foster a new paradigm of personal robots – robots that don't just clean your floors or your pool, but also interact with you on a personal, almost human level. According to a news item on Georgia Tech's website,
Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback. Automaton has more detail.

explores the design and fabrication potential of silk fibers—inspired by silkworm cocoons—for the construction of woven habitats. While the material being applied in the above video may not be silk, the principles being applied to wrapping it around the interior of a tension-providing frame remain the same.

Gov. Corbett has sent a strongly worded letter to the Delaware River Basin Commission, urging it to end a three-year moratorium on natural gas drilling in the basin by adopting drilling regulations.
He said he wanted "to convey a profound sense of frustration and disappointment on behalf of my constituents due to the inaction of the commission."
Regulations would open Pennsylvania's 13 eastern counties - notably those in the northeast, atop the Marcellus Shale - to drilling.
Industry and a property owners' group cheered the action, but an environmental advocate said it was inappropriate.

Pickets gathered outside the Atlantic City Convention Center Wednesday to protest a revised procedure for Lyme disease detection they say would make it more difficult for doctors to diagnose the disease< according to a report in the Press of Atlantic City.
Dressed in bright green T-shirts with fake "bull's eye" rashes painted on their arms, about a dozen protesters from the Lyme Rights advocacy group handed out leaflets decrying a recently re-leased draft of the "Revised National Surveillance Case Definition for Lyme Disease."
The definition is proposed by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, or CSTE, which is holding a conference at the convention center. The CSTE advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"If this goes through, these patient won't be able to get diagnosed and they won't be able to get treated as a result," said Patricia Smith, president of the National Lyme Disease Association and member of the CSTE. She protested with Lyme Rights.

Depending upon who you talk to Brandon Sutter may or may not have scored the would be game-tying goal in the 3-2 loss to Los Angeles last night. For example, take the two of the three players directly involved in the play…
Sutter on his close call: "I was pretty surprised… I definitely got pushed into the net… I have no idea how they didn't call it a goal."
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) March 28, 2014
More Doughty: "Yeah, I gave him a few shots from behind, but that had nothing to do with his stick and pushing [Jones] into the net."
— Wes Crosby (@OtherNHLCrosby) March 28, 2014
Decide for yourself…
It certainly looks like Sutter had a lot of help from behind.
The refs and reviewers in Toronto however shared Doughty's opinion, declaring no goal on account of goaltender interference. This was not before trolling the crowd with an opening proclamation that "the puck was in before the net went off…". Might as well have ended with, "…but I'm afraid I have some bad news."
Following the game, the league provided further explanation while offering this statement:
"The referee informed the Situation Room that after a huddle, the officials' group decision was that Pittsburgh's Brandon Sutter pushed Los Angeles goaltender Martin Jones' pad and the puck into the net, impeding Jones' ability to play his position. According to Rule 78.5 (ix) "Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee when a goaltender has been pushed into the net together with the puck after making a save." This is not a reviewable play therefore the referee's call on the ice stands – no penalty and no goal Pittsburgh."
So basically this rule makes sense, but like many things with the NHL it's left incomplete. Perhaps the league should reconsider revising the rule without omitting the very real possibility that a goaltender can be pushed into the net together with the puck after making a save on account of a teammate assaulting a member of the other team.
The call had a major effect on the flow of the game. After controlling possession the beginning half of the third period, the Pens flat-lined in unblocked shot attempts the rest of the way. The Sutter play occurred with 10:19 remaining. Unblocked shot attempt chart via Extra Skater:
The Pens had just three shots on goal in the final ten minutes of play. They had the puck, the Kings were able to block six shots during that same span –most of them coming in the final minute when Pittsburgh gave it a last-ditch effort, but for whatever reason it just wouldn't go.
It's tough to point to one play in a game where the Pens had many great opportunities, including seven power plays, but that one stung. It's also hard to say how the game could have panned out if it counted, but there's no question that was a turning point in the game.

Indigenous struggles resurface as homesickness beats Zeph Skinner
- From: Herald Sun
- November 15, 2012
ZEPHANIAH Skinner's decision to walk out on the Western Bulldogs has put the issue of recruiting indigenous players back in the AFL spotlight.
Skinner, who battled homesickness for the past two years, informed the club yesterday he no longer had the desire to play AFL.
The high-flying forward is expected to return home to Nookanbah in remote Western Australia, after playing eight games at the Kennel.
It is understood Skinner was positive about continuing his career when he left for his end-of-season break but changed his mind upon his return to Whitten Oval.
Despite his homesickness issues, Skinner's news came as a surprise to the club.
Pick Me: The Dogs could land the next Trent Cotchin
"Zephi this morning told his teammates he will be retiring from AFL football and returning home to be with his family and community, where he feels a strong sense of responsibility," list manager Jason McCartney said.
"We really didn't want to lose Zephi, as he is a well-liked person here, but respect his decision to return home to his family."
Skinner's departure adds to the concern about indigenous player retention at AFL level. Three senior football officials yesterday said alarm bells were ringing and encouraged the AFL's multicultural department to investigate.
Indigenous players who have recently left the game include Liam Jurrah and Kelvin Lawrence (Melbourne), Nathan Krakouer (Gold Coast), Nathan Djerrkura (Bulldogs), Troy Taylor and Relton Roberts (Richmond) and Rhan Hooper (Brisbane).
Approximately five indigenous players will be added to AFL lists for next season, including two at next Thursday's national draft.
High on the list of concerns is a lack of indigenous coaching and welfare resources at AFL clubs.
Only five clubs have an indigenous assistant coach or welfare officer - West Coast, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Hawthorn and Gold Coast. Skinner was taken with pick No.88 in the 2010 national draft.

It's a Good One: Mustard Ketchup (With a Recipe!)
It doesn't happen every day that you discover a new condiment. But today is one of those special days--unless you're English, maybe. Julie Farias, the consulting chef at Stand, broadened our condiment horizons recently with her delicious, refreshing coleslaw, featuring Tracklements sweet mustard ketchup. What? It's 42% grainy mustard, plus sugar, vinegar, sunflower oil, salt, and "spices." As you'd imagine, it is thickish and somewhat sweet, but also very tangy and a little spicy.
Stand owner Jonathan Morr spent time in London shortly before the upscale burger joint opened. He came back with some mustard ketchup, and asked Farias to see what she could do with it. "He loved it so much, he had to have it on the menu," she told us. And we think she did pretty well with the challenge. "I mixed it with mayo to cut the sharpness. I prefer a mayo based coleslaw. This is lighter, crunchy, and you get a nice sweetness from the fuji apple." Farias also uses Tracklements for curried chicken, which you won't get to eat unless you're on staff at Stand. But you can make the coleslaw... After all, it's finally spring.
Stand's Coleslaw (One Serving)
1/2 cup thinly sliced white or green cabbage 1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage 1 tablespoon tracklements mustard ketchup 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1/2 finely julienned fuji apple salt and white pepper to taste
Upcoming Events
Mix mayo and mustard ketchup together. Set aside. Mix all ingredients together. Season to taste.
You can find Tracklements Mustard Ketchup at Dean and Deluca ($8).

The RAC is short for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. It works in conjunction with the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), the Commission on Social Action (CSA) and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR). The RAC functions as the Union's social justice advocacy branch operating in Washington, DC.
For more than 40 years the RAC has made its presence known to the legislators on Capitol Hill with tireless dedication for achieving Jewish social justice. It is also leading the way on educating and mobilizing Reform Jews nation wide for social justice.
The RAC works on a very broad array of social justice concerns, approaching them with a Jewish standpoint on the issues. Some of the issues that the RAC focuses on are a woman's right to choose, abolishing the death penalty, establish peace in Israel, expanding and protecting the rights of Gays and Lesbians, securing international religious freedom, fighting against the vouchers program, reforming environmental policy, and fighting AIDS.
To put it simply, the RAC is an advocacy group that speaks out for social justice, social action and, for basic human rights.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Researchers aim to elucidate the role of galectin-3 in cardiac fibrosis. [© nenovbrothers - Fotolia.com]
Galectin Therapeutics entered into a research collaboration with Jose Jalife, M.D., of the University of Michigan Medical School, to better understand the relationship of galectin-3 to cardiac fibrosis in chronic cardiac arrhythmias. Galectin-3 is known to be increased in patients with heart failure and is believed to be a critical mediator in the development of cardiac fibrosis.
"Galectin proteins appear to be pivotal in the development of fibrotic conditions," notes Peter G. Traber, M.D., president and CEO, Galectin. "This relationship is the basis of our drug development program in therapies for liver fibrosis. This research collaboration with the University of Michigan will enable us to explore the potential of our existing compounds and pool the extensive knowledge of Dr. Jalife and his colleagues."
Dr. Jalife's research group is investigating the molecular mechanisms and nonlinear dynamics of heart rhythm and conduction disturbances, particularly in regards to the arrhythmogenic consequences of structural remodeling and electrophysiological remodeling induced by cardiovascular diseases.
Galectin-inhibitor development efforts by the company are focused on two disease areas: fibrosis and cancer. The former program includes later-stage cirrhosis and has four preclinical-stage candidates.
In cancer, Galectin has a Phase I immunotherapy and a chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, which has been submitted to some regulatory agencies and is in Phase II in the U.S. The company is currently awaiting review of its application for marketing approval in Colombia for the use of GM-CT-01 (formerly known as Davanat ®) in combination with 5-FU for metastatic colorectal cancer. GM-CT-01 will be commercialized in Colombia by partner Pro-Caps.
In the immunotherapy program, experiments by The Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research in Brussels indicated that GM-CT-01 reactivates T-cell-dependent tumor-cell killing that had been turned off by galectins secreted by cancer cells. The Ludwig Institute is planning to initiate a Phase I/II trial of GM-CT-01 for patients with advanced metastatic melanoma. Patients will receive a tumor-specific peptide vaccination combined with multiple systemic and intratumor doses of GM-CT-01 following the second month and subsequent month's vaccine administration.
Candidates are generated on Galectin's carbohydrate chemistry drug discovery platform. Naturally occurring carbohydrate polymers with galactose residues are used to create complex carbohydrates with specific molecular weights that are useful as therapeutics.

Want even more films to look forward to in 2011?
I'm almost done looking back at 2010, and at the same time, I've already begun to look forward to 2011. Greg Ellwood and I put together a look at 30 of the most anticipated films for next year, but in doing so, there were many more that we ended up cutting that are still worth anticipating. If you reach January 1st and you're already excited about more than 30 films, that's great. But you factor in at least 30 more that I'm curious about, and I'd say we're starting off 2011 in a very good place.
There were some big titles we didn't include in the preview gallery, including "Pirates Of The Carribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon," and "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," and that's mainly because typing those three titles out in full takes seven and a half hours. Good god, 2011 is the year of the big giant sequel subtitle, evidently. And while I find it hard to get wildly excited about part four of much of anything at this point, each of those has something that's got me intrigued. I'm curious if they can reinvent the "Pirates" franchise with Sparrow at the center instead of supporting the main story. I'm curious to see if Michael Bay's use of 3D sends more people to the hospital than the "127 Hours" arm scene. And I'm curious to see what Brad Bird does in live-action, and how many more tall buildings they can find to hang Tom Cruise off of.
Stuff like "The Hangover Part II" and "Scream 4" are going to end up part of the conversation no matter what. I was really interested in "Rise Of The Apes" when it was still Scott Frank making it and it was called "Caesar," but while that disappoints me, I am curious to see what Rupert Wyatt, the director of "The Escapist," makes of the material. I wish it wasn't a prequel, but what can you do? That's like wishing I breathed nitrogen instead of oxygen. Sequels and prequels and remakes are everywhere these days, and we had some of them in our most anticipated breakdown.
But if I get truly fatigued by that stuff, that's my own fault, because there's always original work out there, and this year, there are plenty of originals worth being excited about.
For example, Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life" is coming, which automatically makes 2011 exciting. I'm going out of my way to know as little as possible about this one before it comes out. Would you believe I still haven't seen the trailer? I'd love to make it to the first screening of the film knowing almost nothing beyond the general sense that it's about a boy's early lessons in life growing up in Texas in the '50s and it stars Brad Pitt. Let's see how successful I am at that.
Ruben Fleischer was one of the names in the running for the "Mission Impossible" directing job, but in the end, he decided to follow up "Zombieland" with "30 Minutes Or Less," the comic adventures of a pizza delivery guy, and he ended up with Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Nick Swardson, Fred Ward, Michael Pena, and Aziz Ansari along for the ride. And of course McBride's always got "Your Highness" coming out this year as well, and I'm pretty much crazy to lay eyes on that one ASAP.
All sorts of things get me interested in upcoming movies. There are any number of reasons to be excited. Alexander Payne was poised to be one of the biggest names in the business after the heat of "Sideways," and then it just didn't happen. It's exciting to see that he's working with George Clooney for his first major gig in a while, "The Descendents," about a man trying to decide what to do with his family's ancestral land in Hawaii. Reuniting Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody for the first time since "Juno" means "Young Adult" is going to be under a microscope when it lands, and it's got a great cast including Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, Collette Wolfe, and Patton Oswalt. I know the RZA loves kung-fu. All you have to do is listen to the work of Wu-Tang Clan to know that. But can that love translate into something tangible with his film, "The Man With The Iron Fist"? For "Battle: Los Angeles," the question is how many alien invasion movies are too many at one time, and can theirs be the one that breaks through? Or will it be "Apollo 18" that does it? Finally, I'm dying to see if we finally get a look at "Cabin In The Woods," "Red Dawn," or "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" this year. All three sound like fun, and all three have been shelved for a while for various reasons. Come on, Hollywood… set them free.
Let's spitball some other titles that are coming that are of note:
"A Dangerous Method"
WHY: It's David Cronenberg telling the story of the battle of ideologies between Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender). Sounds awesome.
"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"
WHY: It's a great spy novel, one of the best in the genre, and it's the first film for director Thomas Alfredson since "Let The Right One In." Look at the cast he's got… Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, and Stephen Graham. This could be one of the best pedigrees for any film this year.
"Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights"
WHY: Yes, these stories have been told many times, but when you add filmmakers like Cary Fukunaga and Andrea Arnold to the mix, suddenly there's something fresh about the perspective, and suddenly, it makes a lot of sense to tell the stories again. "Eyre" has Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, a powerhouse team-up to be sure, and "Heights" features an unknown cast, which could be exactly right with Arnold calling the shots.
"We Need To Talk About Kevin"
WHY: Because Lynne Ramsay is a fantastic filmmaker, and the book she's working from here could give Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly some of the best roles of their careers
WHY: Simon Pegg. Nick Frost. On the road with a very dirty E.T. At the very least, this is the geekiest film set for release this year, and early screening buzz is very, very good.
"Take This Waltz"
WHY: Sarah Polley is a great young actor, but also a promising writer/director, and she's behind the camera for this one with a cast that includes Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, and Sarah Silverman. Sounds good to us.
"Fast Five"
WHY: Dwayne vs Vin. All those cars. And Elsa Pataky. Trust me, guys. Google her.
WHY: If you haven't seen "Timecrimes," you've missed out on one of the best genre debuts in recent memory. Vigalondo has become the unofficial mascot of Fantastic Fest, but his Clown Prince public persona is deceptive. He's a smart filmmaker with a dark, wicked sensibility, and if he's dealing with alien invasion this year, I have a feeling budget isn't going to be the thing that determines which alien movie is the best one this year.
WHY: This one's gone through a number of titles during production, but what you need to remember is that Andrew Niccol is one of those big-idea screenwriters who could easily knock it out of the park. Olivia Wilde, Johnny Galecki, Cillian Murphy, Amanda Seyfried, Justin Timerlake, and a whole ton of other young Hollywood stars are part of this one, which sounds like a cross between "Logan's Run" and "The Truman Show."
And there's more beyond that. I want to see Emma Stone in "The Help." I want to see what Craig Brewer did with "Footloose." I want to see if the Farrelly Brothers pull it together for "Hall Pass." I want to see how f'ing crazy "Ghost Rider 2" ends up being. I want to see if "The Adjustment Bureau" is good or bad Dick. I have my fingers crossed that "Cars 2" improves on the original, which is one of the few of the Pixar films that I just can't warm up to, no matter how much my kids love it, and I hope Disney knocks their throwback hand-animated "Winnie The Pooh" out of the ballpark, because I have a special fondness for those films and books. I hope Dreamworks Animation is able to make lightning strike twice with "Kung-Fu Panda 2," and I'm always open to the work of Lars Von Trier, whose "Melancholia" should be showing up at Cannes, and the fact that I listed those two films in one sentence shows you just how big and strange a range of films I'm looking forward to in the coming year. That's what I love about this job… when you're writing about this many types of totally different things, it's always fresh. It's always fun. This job is a privilege, and I enter every new year full of hope, curious about what experiences I have ahead, and sure of one thing: no matter how much time I spend digging into the year ahead of time, there will be plenty of surprises.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
