Unsolved Mysteries
The month before they were to be married in 2004, Christian missionaries Jason Allen, 26, and Lindsay Cutchall, 22, left the children's summer camp where they were counselors and headed off for a romantic weekend in Northern California. Four days later, on Aug. 18, the couple were found on a remote, fog-shrouded beach near the tiny town of Jenner. They were dead, shot in the head with a .45-cal. Marlin rifle while they slept. "This is a very troubling case," says Capt. Dave Edmonds of the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department. "They seemed to be upstanding individuals and very peaceful, not the type to put themselves in harm's way."
Three years and hundreds of interviews later, the mystery of who murdered the young couple remains, despite a $50,000 reward offered by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. "This is a bad one," says legal commentator Daniel Horowitz. "In cases like this, if the murder is not solved within 24 hours through fingerprints and DNA ... it is going to be difficult to catch the killer." It hasn't helped that the murders took place in a rugged coastal area, where ocean winds and tides sweep the beach, possibly compromising the crime scene. "We don't know what might have been disturbed," says Edmonds, "or what potential evidence was lost."
In May of 2006, authorities released a photo of a necklace identical to the one Cutchall might have been wearing (but that was missing from her body), as well as details about four items found around the crime scene, including journal writings and a hat. They also disclosed that some DNA evidence had been found. Says Edmonds: "We are doing everything we can to move forward, even if it is just baby steps."
She was last seen at her Washington, D.C., health club on April 30, 2001. But it wasn't until over a year later—long after the congressional intern's disappearance had become a full-blown scandal—that Chandra Levy's skeletal remains were found in the city's Rock Creek Park.
In an early interview with police, California Rep. Gary Condit reportedly admitted having an affair with her. (The married Condit never acknowledged the romance publicly.) From that point on, the police and the media focused relentlessly on his involvement, a rush to judgment that may have been one of the biggest hindrances to solving the case. "All of a sudden, Gary Condit became the only one they would consider," says a source close to the investigation. "We became fixated on him."
Yet Condit was never officially named a suspect; in 2002 he lost his bid for re-election. That year Ingmar Guandique, a Salvadoran national who was serving time for attacking two women in Rock Creek Park, came under suspicion, but police were hindered by a lack of physical evidence due to the severe weathering of Levy's skeletal remains (Guandique and his lawyer have said he had nothing to do with her death). Solving the crime is "almost impossible," says Joe McCann, a P.I. hired by the Levy camp. "The only thing that will break this case is a confession."
On Sept. 19, 2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, Bob Stevens, a photo editor at the tabloid Sun, received a letter containing a white powder at his office in Boca Raton, Fla. On Oct. 5 he died in the hospital of anthrax poisoning. Over the next six weeks, other anthrax-laced letters showed up at NBC in New York, the New York Post and the office of then-Sen. Tom Daschle in Washington, D.C. In all, five people died of anthrax, including two postal workers. But no culprit has been found.
In August 2002 then-Attorney General John Ashcroft declared that bio-warfare expert Steven J. Hatfill, who had worked at an Army research facility at Ft. Detrick, Md., was "a person of interest" in the investigation. But Hatfill—who called himself "a loyal American" and said, "I have had nothing to do in any way, shape or form with the mailing of these Anthrax letters"—was never arrested or charged, and sued to clear his name. "It's an active case, and efforts to solve it have in no way been slowed," says Debra Weierman, a spokeswoman for the FBI, which still has 17 full-time agents on the case. Stevens's widow, Maureen, is hoping for a break. Says her attorney Richard Schuler: "She is standing fast in trying to get to the truth."
Slain in a drive-by gang shooting, the rap star remains the subject of conspiracy theories
On the evening of Sept. 7, 1996, after watching a Mike Tyson fight, Shakur, 25, was in the passenger seat of a BMW driven by Marion "Suge" Knight, the head of Death Row Records, on the crowded Las Vegas Strip. Suddenly a white Cadillac pulled up with four men inside. Shots were fired, and Shakur—who took four slugs in the chest—was fatally injured.
Out of those bare facts, many conspiracy theories have mushroomed. Earlier in the evening, Shakur's entourage had roughed up Orlando Anderson, a member of the Crips street gang. According to some witnesses, Anderson enlisted the Crips to carry out the hit and bragged the next day about being the triggerman. Police questioned Anderson but he was never arrested. (Anderson was later gunned down in L.A.) Some Shakur supporters accuse authorities of deliberately running a slack investigation and perhaps even having been involved in the hit. Others suggest that Knight, despite the fact that he was next to Shakur, could have been mixed up in the plot. Knight has repeatedly denied involvement. "The Crips shot Tupac," says Cathy Scott, the author of The Killing of Tupac Shakur, "but who was behind it?"
The chance that question will be answered seems remote. "The case is cold," says Scott. "Out of the four people in the Cadillac that night, two are dead. And I would imagine the other two are looking over their shoulders."
She remembers people calling out his name—"Andy! Have you seen Andy?"—in the Lawrence, Mass., housing projects where they grew up. "And I remember someone saying he hadn't come home from the pool and thinking, 'Uh-oh, he's in trouble now,'" says Melanie Perkins, 40, recalling the terrible day in 1976 when her childhood sweetheart Andy Puglisi, 10, disappeared after they spent an afternoon together at the community pool.
Andy was never heard from again, but Perkins is still searching for him. Her documentary Have You Seen Andy? debuted on Cinemax this year and contains new clues, which led Perkins to believe a convicted rapist and pedophile, Wayne Chapman, killed Andy and buried him within two miles of the pool. (Chapman denies any involvement in Andy's disappearance.) Investigators have conducted three small digs but haven't been aggressive enough, says Perkins. She claims they never officially interviewed Chapman, who is in prison for raping two other Lawrence boys in 1975. "I'm frustrated," says Perkins, who wants a full search of the area around the pool. "Andy is still out there."
John Dawley, First Assistant DA for Essex County, says police have properly pursued leads and conducted searches based on specific tips. "But to pull apart a community wholesale without a tip or a corroborating reason," he says, "that we wouldn't do." Perkins, the mother of two young children and pregnant with her third, hopes the film pressures the FBI to step in and help find the boy she cannot forget. "I still have the faith I had as a little girl that he is going to be found," she says. "Andy needs to be brought home."
Signs of a struggle, blood on her bed—but no answer to who killed the Palm Beach socialite
After decades of decorating other people's dream homes, self-made millionaire Jacquie Levitz, 62, was ready to create her own. When her husband, Ralph Levitz, founder of the Levitz furniture chain, died in 1995, she bought a house in Vicksburg, Miss., and started renovating. Says her sister Gerri Brown, 71: "She was bubbling over with getting it done."
Levitz never lived to see that day. On Nov. 20, 1995, relatives found the door of her house ajar. Inside there were signs of a struggle, and a large bloodstain on her king-size mattress. But investigators mishandled what little evidence there was, contends Buddy Caldwell, the DA of neighboring Tallulah, La., who took an unofficial look at the case at the request of Jacquie's brother Don. "There was nothing nefarious about it," he says. "It was just that these were country law-enforcement people." One of them, Sheriff Martin Pace, defends the work of his department and the FBI: "This is still an open investigation. We have leads we are still following up on."

The Food Stamp and Cash Assistance Program: Overpayments
by Southern Arizona Legal Aid, Inc.
What if DES gives me too much money or too many food stamps?
If DES gives you too much money or too many food stamps, it is called an overpayment.
How do overpayments happen?
Overpayments happen for various reasons. For example, DES may not budget your correct income or resources. Or, you may receive payments when you are not eligible for those payments.
What happens to cause the overpayment?
Even if it is not your fault that you were overpaid, DES may still collect the overpayment from you.
What should I do if I discover the overpayment?
To stop the overpayment from getting larger, you should contact your DES worker immediately if you discover you are being paid too much. Even if you discover the overpayment before DES, you may still be charged with an overpayment and you will be required to pay it back.
What should I do if I disagree with the amount of the overpayment?
You should request a fair hearing immediately by contacting DES. You should ask DES to explain the reason for the overpayment. You should also check whether DES calculated the overpayment correctly. If you think DES is wrong, you should tell the Judge why it's wrong.
How will DES collect the overpayment?
If you are not currently receiving benefits, DES can collect the overpayment by any legal means. For example, DES could keep your income tax refunds or sue you in court to garnish certain wages. Your credit may be affected if DES obtains a judgment against you.
Can I stop DES from collecting overpayment?
Probably not, but you may be able to control the amount you have to pay each month toward the overpayment. If you do not request a fair hearing, or you lose the fair hearing, the overpayment decision will become final and you will be responsible for paying it back.
If you are currently receiving benefits, DES will keep a portion of your monthly benefits to repay the overpayments.
If you are not getting benefits, you can make a payment plan with a monthly payment that fits within your budget. If you make regular monthly payments in the agreed upon amount, DES will probably not take your income tax refunds or sue you in court.
If you have questions about the overpayment, you should contact the DES Office of Accounts Receivable and Collections office at 1-800-236-1475.
What if my only income is social security disability or SSI?
By federal law, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI benefits are protected from judgment. This means that if you are sued to repay the overpayment, a judge cannot order you to repay the debt from your SSDI or SSI.
However, if your Social Security Disability or Retirement benefits are more than $750 a month, DES can refer your food stamp overpayment to the U.S. Department of Treasury to collect the overpayment by reducing your SSA benefits. This is called administrative offset. Before your SSA check is reduced, you should receive a letter explaining the offset and advising you what to do if you disagree.
How can I get legal assistance?
There are various free legal service agencies throughout the state for people with low income, depending upon availability. For more information, contact the legal aid office in your area. Be sure to choose the county where you live on the right side of the page; and find an office near you under the "Find Legal Help" on this website.

Summer shorts
Parts of northern Minnesota are starting to get dry so it might be a good idea to start watering your birch trees to prevent bronze birch borer infestation.
Norway pine saplings planted around campsites in Itasca Park are lightly defoliated by the introduced pine sawfly, Diprion similis. White pine is the preferred host for IPS, but they were not defoliated. IPS usually have two generations per year and sometimes three if the season is long enough. The second generation is active now, feeding on the current years' needles, so it is likely that further defoliation by a third generation can be anticipated.
The wet, cool weather in June was likely the reason for low incidences of yellowheaded spruce sawfly defoliation this year. It seems every June this creature is active somewhere, especially when young white spruce are being planted in open areas, particularly, yards and windbreaks. In Crow Wing County, larvae were done feeding two weeks ago. The insects should be in cocoons by now and overwintering in the duff.
Tar spot of maple is an example of leaf and needle blight maladies associated with the wetter that usual summer of 2000. Tar spot on red maple on yard trees was reported in Beltrami County near Bemidji. This disease occurs quite frequently in forest stands where it is generally moister during the day. Tar spot is caused by the fungus, Rytisma acerinum, which produces irregular, shiny, tar-like, circular spots on the leaf's upper surface. The dark color is due to the masses of black fungal mycelium. In yards, one can rake up and destroy the leaves that are infected and destroy them to help decrease the potential for reinfection next year. Treating with a copper fungicide at bud-break may help, if the disease persists.
Jack pines were safe from jack pine budworm again this year and will be again next year in Hubbard, Becker, Beltrami and Pine Counties, if our egg mass surveys are correct.
Rose chafer beetles
Great numbers of tan to reddish-brown beetles, with bodies densely covered with dull yellow scales and long, hairy legs were seen in central Minnesota during the first week of June. These rose chafer beetles include Macrodactylus subspinosus and other species of this genus. Rose chafers swarm, feed and mate on deciduous trees, shrubs, grapes, peonies, roses and other flowering plants, shredding leaves and blossoms and destroying fruit. Adults live about one month. Since they are often attracted to white surfaces such as white flowers and white birch trees, a cultural control to protect garden plants are white plaster pails with an inch or two of water in them. Beetles are trapped and die in the water. If insecticide control is considered, repeated application of carbaryl or other products labeled for their control may be necessary to prevent damage by incoming swarms.

WAILUKU - A new clinic for the island's uninsured and indigent residents is lifting spirits in both patients and staff.
"I love it," 31-year-old Amanda Mizner said last week during a prenatal visit at the Malama I Ke Ola Health Center, a facility that once housed Ooka Super Market.
"I like the space," Mizner's obstetrician, Dr. Aaron Altura, said. "Our patients love it - that's the best part."

The Community Clinic of Maui earlier this month opened its new Wailuku location, the Malama I Ke Ola Health Center, in the former Ooka Super Market building on Main Street. The new building will be able to serve as many as 10,000 patients.

This month, the Community Clinic of Maui opened its health care facility in Wailuku, continuing its mission to serve the homeless, the poor and those underserved by medical care on the island.
The clinic will keep its offices in Kahului and Lahaina open, while also operating its new facility in Wailuku.
"It really has uplifted the staff," Medical Director Dr. Jay Faris said of the $11 million clinic. "They find it hugely gratifying."
"I think what it conveys to our patients is a message that we care and they're important to us," Faris said. "The surroundings are certainly much nicer, and there's a feeling like they're in a true health care facility."
Compared to what was its primary clinic on Lono Avenue in Kahului, the number of exam rooms jumped from eight to 19 in the new center. Each area - pediatrics, obstetrics, adult health and behavioral health - all have separate space and waiting rooms.
Doctors and nurses share the same space so that "communication flows more easily" between them, Faris said.
Now, the Community Clinic of Maui serves about 8,000 patients islandwide at its clinics, including those at the Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Center, on Lono Avenue in Kahului and one at Aumakua Lane in Lahaina.
The Wailuku health center can accommodate as many as 10,000 patients, according to B.J. Ott, the clinic's deputy director. And when the entire space is built out, patient capacity could double.
So far, only about 16,000 of the 36,000 square feet in the renovated building has been built out. Work is continuing on a new dental clinic (expected to be completed next spring), a laboratory, and pharmacy and X-ray departments.
The clinic also houses the federally funded Women Infants and Children program, which the community clinic administers for approximately 1,200 clients.
There are also plans to sponsor classes in health and family education and to help people quit smoking.
The clinic employs an in-house dietician to cover lessons on nutrition and other health issues.
The Wailuku health center does not serve patients in need of urgent care, but it concentrates on other services ranging from treating people suffering from colds and flus to caring for pregnant women while they're expecting and after they deliver their babies. The clinic also helps people manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, HIV-AIDS and asthma.
The center also offers behavioral care services.
"We provide as comprehensive and as good a standard of care as anywhere else in the county," Faris said.
Funding sources for the project included approximately $5 million in federal earmark appropriations, $4.6 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, $1.3 million in state funding, $250,000 from Maui County and $507,000 of the clinic's own funds.
Malama I Ke Ola, which in Hawaiian means caring for life and health, is staffed by 77 people, including physicians, nurses and behavioral health specialists as well as administrative and support workers.
The center's features include an entry lobby featuring a water fountain with a tile mosaic of Kepaniwai Park in Iao Valley, designed and created by Monica Riecke Morakis.
A biometric system requires employee fingerprints in order to access certain rooms for medical care or records. A playroom is in the works for children waiting in pediatrics; and a separate waiting room has been set aside for people with serious and possible contagious illnesses. Children and babies who are well and visiting physicians for check-ups or routine visits also have separate waiting rooms.
There are many parts of the building that took "green," or sustainable, energy and technology into consideration such as the use of recycled rubber tires for vinyl flooring, low-flow toilets and lights that turn off automatically when no one is in a room for a while.
Both Altura and Faris said that in the short time the clinic has been open, they've already seen more patients making their appointments on time and following physician directions in part because of the "nicer feel" the new facility gives them.
"They feel like they're in a true health care facility," Faris said.
Clinic officials are waiting for word on funding, but they are hopeful that by next spring they can complete the dental clinic portion of the center.
The clinic's contractors include GYA Architects Inc.; Arita-Poulson General Contractors LLC and Despins General Construction Inc.; consultants Hans Riecke of HR Architect Inc. and Capital Link Inc.; and project manager Don Brandeburg (DLB Management Services).

What's Really at Stake in SF's Proposed Condo Conversion PlanRandy Shawbyline' Feb. 04' 2013
Over thirty years ago, San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein signed legislation limiting the conversion of rental units to condominiums to 200 per year. Feinstein was hardly a zealous tenant advocate, yet she and the Board of Supervisors recognized that eliminating rent-controlled apartments is the wrong approach to San Francisco's housing problems. City officials also recognized that the neighborhoods where conversions of 3-6 unit buildings were most likely to occur---such as North Beach, Noe Valley, the Castro, and Haight-Ashbury---offer little space for new rental housing to be built.
Limiting condo conversions was seen as an essential tool for maintaining neighborhood economic diversity. That's why voters and the Board have consistently refused to increase the condo conversion limit despite huge campaign spending by realtors. Now Supervisor Scott Wiener claims that the foreclosure crisis justifies circumventing the longtime 200 limit by allowing over 2000 units to "bypass" existing law; but his legislation---and the facts--- undermine this argument.

The search continued Monday at a Mormon sect compound for any more children or evidence of abuse at the 1,700-acre, west Texas ranch.
Authorities have taken 220 women and children away from the compound and 18 children are now legally in state custody.
"Those are the ones that we believe have been abused, or they are in imminent risk of harm, imminent risk of being abused, and that it would not be safe those children to remain in the compound for another day," said Marleigh Meisner with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
But officials are still trying to locate the 16-year-old girl who filed a complaint that she was forced to marry a man more than three times her age and had a baby when she was just 15.
Investigators are combing through records, computers, and photographs that could possibly link the teen to her alleged 50-year-old husband. In Texas, it's illegal for girls younger than 16 to marry, even with parental consent.
"There is a lot of mind control here. And just layers and layers of things that the authorities have to drill through to get at the truth of what's going on with the girls," said former church member Carolyn Jessop.
The YFZ Ranch, which stands for "Yearning for Zion," was built by polygamist Warren Jeffs, who's already serving a prison sentence in Utah, and is awaiting trial in Nevada for incest and sexual conduct with a minor.
"He is their God. He's told these people: I am Jesus Christ," said former church member Flora Jeffs.
Jeffs' followers are part of a breakaway fundamentalist sect of the Mormon church that splintered when the church banned polygamy more than a century ago.
Ahead of the raid, authorities had braced themselves for the worst, but ultimately, sect leaders allowed them onto the compound.
So far, no arrests or charges have been filed. Meanwhile, caseworkers continue to question the women and children to determine if any more will enter temporary state custody and how many may return to the retreat.

Politics polluting federal courtsJuly 27,2013Chief Justice John Roberts has filled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court with Republican appointees. The Republicans in the U.S. Senate are doing everything they can to stall confirmation on President Obamas appointments to fill open federal court positions. It is obvious that the Republicans hope to pack the courts with justices who will rule in their favor on upcoming cases.
What ever happened to blind justice? The courts were designed to be neutral ground separate from the politics of the executive and legislative branches of government.
The laws of the land, unless they are amended or repealed, are supposed to be applied and interpreted based on their original intent, not from a point of political bias.

Too many staff parking spots and not enough student spots.
The parking is very great because they make sure everyone is given an area to park my having a huge garage The garage is almost in the center of the campus so it is pretty convenient. Many of the parking lots are taken quickly so the garage gives everyone a chance to park easily.
The parking garage is not very convenient and as a freshman that is the only place you can park.
We are very overcrowded and even with freshman not being aloud to have a car on campus there is absolutely nowhere to park ever. It's extremely annoying and inconvenient, but the university is working on making more parking.
Our campus is mainly a walking campus so cars aren't super efficient unless your planning on going off campus for events and such. the cost of parking permits are a little salty, but it's nice to have the independence of a vehicle so it's still worth it.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Parking, at times, causes a lot of stress and frustration, especially when students are searching for a spot close to a residence hall or a class that they are late for. The lots are not necessarily right next to any buildings because they are placed on the edges of campus. The University is attempting to make Valpo primarily a walking campus, and that is ultimately the best way to get around. No matter where you park, you are going to have to walk to get anywhere, so unless you are a commuter, a car is not beneficial for getting around campus.
VUPD is in charge of issuing parking passes and ticketing, but officers have admitted that VUPD does not limit the number of passes based on the number of parking spaces available to students.Thus, during the busiest times of the day, it will take a while to find an open parking spot, especially one near the desired destination.

GOLD prices slipped below $1,650 an ounce on Monday as stock markets retreated and the dollar firmed, but remained in a narrow range as investors focused on the outlook for US budget talks and the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing programme.
Fed officials are increasingly concerned about the potential risks of the US central bank's asset purchases on financial markets.
Quantitative easing, which benefits gold by maintaining pressure on long-term interest rates and stoking inflation fears, has been a major driver of higher prices in recent years.
Any change in policy would likely weigh heavily on gold.
"The current discussion in the gold market is when the Fed would end quantitative easing," said Peter Fertig, analyst with Quantitative Commodity Research.
"This has reversed the recovery in gold which we saw when the fiscal cliff was avoided," Mr Fertig said, referring to the agreement reached by the US Congress and President Barack Obama at the end of 2012 to avert a fiscal crisis.
Spot gold was down 0.6% at $1,645.91 an ounce at 1.45pm, GMT, while US gold was down 0.2% at $1,646.30.
Spot prices slid to their lowest since late August on Friday after minutes from the Fed's December policy meeting showed that several top officials expected to slow or stop its latest QE programme "well before" the end of the year.
They later rebounded after data showed the US unemployment rate stayed stubbornly high last month, to end the week little changed. Gold retreated again on Monday as some investors booked profits in equities and commodities after last week's gains.
Investors cashed in gains in world stocks and crude oil, but signs of a brightening global economic growth outlook limited the falls.
Despite a slight increase in the unemployment rate, Friday's US jobs data showed employers kept up a steady pace of hiring in December and its vast services sector was expanding at a brisk rate, while manufacturing surveys last week pointed to a pick-up in China.
Technical signals
Analysts who study past price patterns for clues on the future direction of trade flag up support for gold at $1,625 an ounce, last week's four-and-a-half-month low.
Barclays Capital also identified resistance at $1,665.
Commerzbank said it expects support at $1,629 to underpin gold, a close below which would "leave psychological support at $1,600 exposed".
It said gold's spike higher from last week's low "suggests a reluctance to break down quite yet — however, downside risks are growing".
Weaker gold prices at the beginning of 2013 sparked buying in Asia's physical bullion market as customers prepared for upcoming Lunar New Year holiday demand.
"Gold prices have gone down a lot since December and we are seeing very good physical demand from India, China and Southeast Asia," one Singapore-based trader said.
Hedge funds and money managers increased the size of their net longs in gold futures and options in the week to Dec. 31, ending two weeks of declines, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed on Friday.
Elsewhere, sales of US American Eagle gold coins in 2012 were the weakest in five years despite a strong finish, hurt by declining price volatility, dealers said.
Among other precious metals, silver was down 0.9% to $29.95 an ounce. Platinum was down 0.2% at $1,549.24 an ounce and palladium was down 1.1% at $675 an ounce.

The symbol of his sacrifice in the brutal 36-day battle on the 5-mile-long island 700 miles from Japan rested with a pair of pants draped over it against a wall in an ICU room at the Thomas E. Creek Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
It was the Rev. Bill Austin's artificial right leg, by his count his fourth such leg since a Japanese mortar shell ripped into him and 13 other Marines on March 1, 1945, during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
"He's never been discouraged about it, I don't know why," said Jo, his wife of nearly 66 years. "I would be. He just thinks God does what he needs to do to help him in any situation. He never seems to give up on anything."
This week was just one more challenge in the servant life of Austin, 86.
He went to the VA last week for a bout of laryngitis he couldn't shake, and in the process, doctors discovered his gallbladder needed to be removed.
Austin preached in 1951 at a service at Summit Baptist Church in Amarillo, three years after his right leg was amputated.
Austin spent years as a pastor and pastoral administrator, from 1953 until he retired in 1989. Then he and Jo returned to their native Texas Panhandle from Colorado, where he has been interim pastor at 21 Baptist churches and spoke in the pulpit of 61.
"I wouldn't trade my life for anything," Austin whispered.
Austin was the third of five children raised on a farm in Bushland. His mother, Lena, died in 1933 during childbirth. He graduated from Amarillo High, but not before registering for the World War II draft on his 18th birthday, Oct. 30, 1943.
Two months later, Uncle Sam called. Eventually, Austin joined the 21st Regiment of the Marines' Third Division. Beginning in July 1944, his division was among those that helped recapture Guam at a cost of 23,500 American and Japanese casualties.
That only steeled the Marines for an epic battle starting in February 1945. Iwo Jima, a tiny island of ash, held three vital airfields and was heavily fortified with Japanese.
"I think it brought a close to the war," Austin said. "That's my opinion."
Austin, just 19, arrived at Iwo Jima on Feb. 21, two days after the fierce fighting began. He was within 400 yards of the first photo — the second staged photo would become one of the most famous images of the 20th century — of Marines hoisting a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi.
Nearly a month of intense fighting followed. An estimated 21,844 Japanese soldiers were killed. Some 6,812 Marines were killed, and 19,217 were wounded before the island was captured. There were 27 Medals of Honor awarded at Iwo Jima, 22 to Marines.
Austin was on patrol March 1, eight days after coming ashore. He and 14 other Marines were behind a dirt shelter when they were struck by a Japanese artillery shell. Twelve were killed instantly, while Austin and another were carried to a hospital ship. The other Marine died.
For Austin, it would begin three years in and out of Navy hospitals in Guam and Honolulu as well as Norman, Okla., where he received his Purple Heart; the VA in Amarillo; and in McKinney.
It was in McKinney that it was evident to doctors that bone grafts had not worked and would never work on his femur. His right leg was amputated in April 1948.
"Why should I be bitter? I was not any better than anybody else they drafted," Austin said. "We all had a job to do."
It was a shock to Jo Austin when her husband surrendered to preach in 1951. She knew he was serious.
Austin got a degree from Howard Payne University in Brownwood. His education was interrupted for a time as the oldest of his two children, son Terry, went to Fort Worth and South Texas for polio treatments.
His life spared by just a few feet, Austin was determined to make a difference the best way he knew how. He accepted a pastorate at a tiny mission church in Eads, Colo., at the princely salary of $100 per month. He pastored three other Colorado churches, and he and Jo had two more children. In 36 years, he rose to president of the Colorado Baptist General Convention and director of the state's missions.
"Doing this has meant I could serve people," Austin said. "Church and church work have been a huge part of my life."
Officially, Austin retired in 1989 at age 64, but it just meant a move back to the Texas Panhandle, where he made himself available for every Baptist church who needed an interim pastor.
"First of all, that was typical of the Greatest Generation," said Roy Kornegay, retired director of missions for the Amarillo Baptist Association. "They had tremendous dedication, whether it was charging the beaches of Iwo Jima or to help people with a commitment you don't always find because of his experience of World War II.
"We reached a point a long time ago we were never conscious of Bill's condition. That was not what identified him. He was such an example and role model to younger preachers."
Iwo Jima survivors associations estimate there are no more than 1,000 men still alive from as many as 70,000 Marine and Navy troops who had a role in one of the final epic battles of World War II.
Austin, who has faced "phantom pains" in his amputated leg for more than 30 years, said his expectations in 1943 were to return home to take up life where he left off. He did resume life, not the way he thought, but in a fulfilling and rewarding way.
"I just did what my country wanted," he said. "I would do it again. Proud to be an American. Proud to be a Marine."

As occurred in the Renaissance, these grounding faculties are too often overlooked in contemporary scholarship. Yet, one could argue that no reading of Shakespeare's King Lear can be considered complete without a thorough conversation about the lower sensorium, as smell (Lear's stench "of mortality" on his hand), taste (Albany attempts to restore order by claiming, "All friends shall taste the wages of their virtue, and all foes the cup of their deserving"), and touch (Gloucester learn to "see [the world] feelingly"). Here—as in any number of texts from the period—understanding the influence and language of taste, smell, and touch refocus the text's meaning.
Participants will explore aspects of knowledge and sensation and consider the various ways they inform Renaissance drama, poetry, and thought. Papers are encouraged to cover a variety of genres from the period, including religious texts, iconography, cookbooks, and courtesy books. Does understanding how Renaissance subjects experienced the lower sensorium push us to read canonical texts differently? Areas of investigation could include the influence of fashionable aesthetic movements; variations in perception; a range of moral, bodily, and geographic cartographies; cultural issues integral to the arts of gesture; the influence of smell and touch on memory and emotion; and the influence of these senses on literature and thought generally.
Participants will pre-circulate works focused on better understanding how various works of poetry, drama, altered mythologies, and medical texts gave meaning to (and often redefined) bodily senses foundational to the subject's experience of his or her world.
Please send abstracts (250 words), Name, and Affiliation to Colleen Kennedy (firstname.lastname@example.com ) and/or Christopher Madson (email@example.com ) by September 30. Full length papers (15-20 minutes reading time) will be due before the conference. Please see the NeMLA site for more information on the conference.

Five Open Government Trends
Open government used to be a relatively simple concept. It was about meetings and documents. They either were open to the public or they weren't. With the growth of the federal government and the explosion of new data sources, from emails passed between agency officials to thousands of satellite and sensor feeds, things have grown more complicated.
The basic question of whether a document is available to the public is just the beginning of the transparency conversation. Open government advocates want to know whether the document is online, whether it's in a reasonable place, and whether it's in a machine-readable format such as XML or a proprietary form such as PDF.
Some agencies are proactive about disclosure, releasing machine-updated data sets that citizens and organizations can stream directly onto their own websites, as well as keeping public catalogs of material they've released under the Freedom of Information Act. Others are slower to adapt.
Here are five trends in open government:

Leverage: Review of Burk & Lemley, 'The Patent Crisis and How the Courts Can Solve It'
Stephen M. McJohn
Suffolk University Law School
February 12, 2010
Indian Journal of Intellectual Property Law, Forthcoming
Suffolk University Law School Research Paper No. 11-41
Dan L. Burk and Mark A. Lemley's "The Patent Crisis and How the Courts Can Solve It" (The University of Chicago Press, 2009) is valuable for anyone interested in patent law. The book serves two goals. First, it suggests how patent reform in the United States can best be accomplished: not through Congressional amendment of the patent statute, but by judicial implementation of industry-specific reforms, in interpreting the existing act. Some jurisdictions, such as India, already differentiate between industrial sectors more explicitly in patent policy than the United States. Second, of interest to patent law worldwide, the book provides a clear and concise explanation of the many applications of economics to patent law and theory over the past few decades, especially with respect to how the diverse forms in innovation in different industries are reflected in patent economics, and could bolster patent reform.

In a broad sense, digital television is digitization of television system. It refers to the TV type that digital television signals are used in all links from studio to emission, transmission and reception, or signals of the system are all transmitted through digital flow consisting of 0 and 1 strings. Digital televisions have less signal loss and good reception effect.
On March 29, 2006, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China formally issued 25 DTV receiving end standards. On August 18, 2006, the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China issued terrestrial DTV transmission standards. On December 5, 2009, UTI machine-card separation standards were established. By then, China's DTV standard system had been basically formed.
In 2008, terrestrial DTVs were launched in 8 cities in China, and high-definition and standard-definition DTV programs were broadcast, which marked that China's terrestrial analog televisions began to transform into terrestrial digital televisions. In 2010, China's terrestrial digital TV process continued accelerating, and simulcast of analog and digital televisions was realized. In 2010 H1, terrestrial digital televisions were put to use in all Chinese cities above prefecture level, where many sets of standard-definition and high-definition programs were broadcast. It is predicted that terrestrial DTV coverage in cities above county level will be basically realized in China in 2015.
According to the regulations of China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television, analog television broadcast will be ceased in 2015. With the approach of schedule time, China's digital television transformation accelerates. And the number of China's cable DTV subscribers developed from 190,000 in 2003 to 61.99 million in 2009.
Besides cable DTV, China's terrestrial DTV, satellite DTV and IPTV all develop rapidly.
In China, development of terrestrial DTV benefits from substantial growth of demand for mobile DTV stimulated by increase in transportation vehicles such as bus and subway. Only in first-tier cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou possessing tens of thousands of buses can terrestrial DTV win profits in bus field and maintain operations by advertising income.
Currently, China's satellite TV service operation is only allowed in remote regions from the prospective of policy. Hence, there has been no real satellite TV operator in China. But satellite TV has strength in coverage cost, especially marginal cost, over cable TV, IPTV, etc.
External policy environment of China's IPTV market has not improved obviously, while pressure from policies of broadcast and TV system is still tremendous. However, subscriber scale increases after years of promotion and reached 4.30 million in 2009, increasing by more than 60% over 2008, while quantity of subscribers in 2010 increased nearly 100% over 2009. Quantity of DTV subscribers in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other economically developed regions grows rapidly.
The overall process of DTV including collection, production, compilation, broadcast, transmission and reception adopts digital technology. In the process of transformation from analog TV to digital TV, DTV equipment manufacturing (emission equipment manufacture, reception equipment manufacture, etc.), DTV network operations, program production and integration, and information service will form a complete industry chain. Tremendous investment opportunities of the DTV industry with value of trillions of money contained in each link of the industry chain, and the industry enjoys huge investment space.

If you're waiting for something with a name like Gulf War or Saddam Slayer to reach the home video-game market or the video arcade any time soon, don't hold your breath.
The top four manufacturers of video and arcade games - Nintendo, Sega, Atari and NEC - say they have no plans to capitalize on the war in the Persian Gulf by introducing Desert Storm games.
"I don't think it's in good taste, personally," says Ken Wirt, vice president of home entertainment for NEC Technologies Inc. "Besides, it takes anywhere from nine to 12 months to develop a good video game." And by then, the war could be a closed and best-forgotten chapter in history.

|February 16th: The Valley's Blustery Day
Figure 1. Atmospheric sounding, 6 AM CST February 16th, Brownsville, TX. Note the very strong winds (circled areas). Wind values are in knots; "flags" represent 50 knots.
Figure 2. 500 mb analysis, 00z 17 February, 2008. Note the strong cyclone (circular contour) moving across west central Texas.
A vigorous upper level disturbance, moving across west Texas during the afternoon on February 16th, enhanced surface low pressure development in northeast Mexico, which in turn tightened the typical Winter and Spring pressure gradient that is created between hot inland areas and the cooler, more stable air over the Gulf waters. As a result, low level winds between the surface and around 5000 feet, averaging nearly 50 mph, translated to the surface by mid to late morning, resulting in a prolonged period of 30 to 40 mph sustained winds with frequent gusts above 45 mph, particularly in Cameron, Willacy, eastern Hidalgo, and Kenedy County. Minor damage was reported to some structures (report, below), especially from Harlingen to Mercedes. A table of peak wind speed, and gusts, is shown below.
