Saved by Amber Alert
The Tragic Murder of Amber Hagerman Spawns a National Warning System—Now 10 Years Old—That Helps Bring Kidnapped Kids Home
Convinced that a more coordinated response to child abductions could save lives, media broadcasters and Dallas-Fort Worth police devised a rapid warning system, naming it Amber Alert after the little girl. Launched in July 1997, Amber Alert plans have been established in all 50 states since 2005 and are coordinated by the U.S. Department of Justice.
State plans vary somewhat, but they generally require that a child 17 or younger be in serious danger and that sufficient information exist on the child or kidnapper. Not just delivered over the media, the alerts can also now be sent as wireless messages to cell phones. In just 10 years at least 333 abducted children have been brought home thanks to Amber. What follows are some of the more dramatic rescues.
MARA DOWNES, Ramapo, N.Y., April 2006
As her kidnappers threw her into the trunk of a Toyota Camry, 13-year-old Mara Downes thought she caught a glimpse of a shovel. To the terrified eighth grader it meant one thing: They intended to kill her and bury her body. Trapped in the suffocating blackness, she gasped for breath and said her prayers over and over. Thanks to an Amber Alert, they were not in vain. Just over three hours after the abduction on April 24, 2006, a woman who had seen the report on how Mara had been snatched from her lawn moments after getting off her school bus glanced out her window and saw a Camry matching the description on the news. She called police, who found and freed Mara. (The three kidnappers, local teens who hoped to collect a ransom, had intended to come back to the car the next day, but were caught.) "It worked so well," says Mara's mother, Martha Boland-Downes of Ramapo, N.Y. "She would have died in that trunk."
The lead investigator, Det. Lt. Brad Weidel, a 26-year law enforcement veteran, also marvels at how Amber has changed everything. In the old days, Weidel points out, officers would have had to send teletypes to police forces and contact individual television stations for coverage. Now, with a single phone call, all the stations begin running the alert; what's more, notices about the missing child immediately appear on all state highway signs and the screens of lottery machines. "If I'm in command of an investigation and we're trying to find this girl," says Weidel, "the last thing I want to do is go through all those notifications." As with any great power, it is best used sparingly. Last year there were only three Amber Alerts in New York State—all of them ending with the safe recovery of the victims.
LISA MARIE PORTER, West Point, Neb., January 2007
Eleven-year-old Lisa Marie Porter's life changed when she received a call on her cell phone in the early morning hours of Jan. 13, 2007. It was a man she knew: a former neighbor in Salem, S.Dak., and he made a terrifying threat. "He told her he was going to do bodily harm to her and the whole family if she didn't go with him," recalls her stepfather, Rodney Jackson.
So in the middle of the night, Porter sneaked out of her parents' West Point, Neb., trailer home and disappeared. It was late morning before her family discovered she was gone and started a search. When they didn't find her at the playground or at a friend's home, they called the West Point Police Department. They told police her abductor might be a 31-year-old former felon named Jamie Davis since it was Davis who had given the girl the cell phone and had called her many times.
An Amber Alert was issued at 2:49 p.m. Roughly an hour later, a citizen spotted Davis's white Chevy Silverado traveling south on Highway 81. Officers took position in nearby York County knowing the vehicle was coming their way, says State Patrol Amber Alert Coordinator Scott Christensen. When two officers tried to stop his truck, Davis swerved toward one of them and the policeman then shot out a left tire. Davis sped away, but two miles later lost control of the truck, allowing authorities to capture him. Total elapsed time from the first alert until Porter was returned: 2 hrs. 1 min.
Now in Madison County Jail on a $1 million bond, Davis is facing kidnapping and other charges that could carry a sentence of life in prison; a trial is scheduled to start later this summer. "When she called us on the phone from the sheriff's station she was crying because she was so scared," remembers Jackson. "I wouldn't wish this on anybody."
GRACE TROTTA, Marlborough, Mass., November 2005
It was 2 p.m. and Rebecca Borey was outside her home daycare facility in Marlborough, Mass., raking leaves when a stranger approached and called her name. Coming closer, he grabbed her and forced her to the ground. "He said, 'Do as I say and nothing will happen,'" recalls Borey, 40, who had four children under her supervision, including her son Christian, 3. But Borey began to shout and the man struck her repeatedly with a club. Hauling her inside, he tied her up and made off with Christian and the Boreys' 5-year-old foster child Grace Trotta—but not before Borey's 18-year-old daughter Nicole Aucoin called police, who activated an Amber Alert. "After that the chase was on," says Det. Lt. Martin Robichaud of the Massachusetts State Police.
According to prosecutors, Grace's mother, Cathleen Trotta, 39, and her boyfriend, Denis Piper, were behind the abduction in November 2005. After allegedly dropping Christian off with a friend, they got in a cab with Grace, who promptly informed the driver that "Melody"—what her abductors called her—was a pretend name and that Grace was her real name. Authorities say that during the cab ride out to Logan airport, Cathleen Trotta kept talking in a loud voice to distract the driver from the Amber Alerts that were already blaring on the car radio. But it was no use: As soon as he dropped off his fare, the driver contacted police. State troopers at Logan discovered the suspects had missed a flight to the Bahamas and had gone to a nearby Embassy Suites Hotel. When troopers and the police stormed the hotel room, they allegedly found Trotta, with Grace zipped up in a suitcase. (Trotta and Piper are due to go on trial this month.)
Chris Borey points out that when it comes to dealing with kidnap cases, even success comes at a steep price. In Christian's case, he still has nightmares about the incident. "This is going to be with him the rest of his life," says Chris. "It's a happy ending, but not such a happy ending."
STEVEN AND TYLER MORTON, Plymouth, Utah, December 2005
Mike Butcher and his wife, Chasity Angell, of Ivins, Utah, were waiting in line at a Dairy Queen on Dec. 30, 2005, when they heard an Amber Alert on the radio. A mother who police said was potentially violent and emotionally troubled had abducted her two young sons and fled in a stolen Ford Focus with the license number 719VMN. Remembering a word association trick she had learned from a clerk at the Department of Motor Vehicles, Angell memorized the plate by repeating "July 19-Very Macho Name." "We always pay attention to the alerts," says Angell, 29, the mother of two daughters. "It's a scary thing."
The next morning Butcher was cleaning up at home for a New Year's Eve party when he noticed a car matching the description driving slowly down the road. He ran to check the plates with his wife, who confirmed it was the car identified in the Amber Alert. The couple jumped into their own car and quickly gave chase, using a cell phone to guide police.
Meanwhile, off-duty Ivins Police Sgt. Jim Hatzidakis was driving his wife to a nearby town when the 911 dispatcher called. He pulled over long enough to let her out on the side of the road. Moments later he apprehended Tessa Morton, then 33, with 7-year-old Steven and 12-year-old Tyler. The boys were confused and quiet, recalls Hatzidakis, but otherwise unhurt. (Morton served six months in jail for attempted kidnapping and has just completed probation.)
Judy Cline of Plymouth, the boys' custodial grandmother, thanks Butcher and her "guardian" Angell for the safe return of her grandsons: "These kids would not be home if it wasn't for them seeing the Amber Alert."
CINDY BRUNO, St. Cloud, Minn., May 2003
Utah Highway Patrolman Sgt. Randy Richey had just come on duty the evening of May 7, 2003, when an Amber Alert came through. That day at 8:40 a.m., the St. Cloud Police Department in Minnesota had issued an alert on missing 11-year-old Cindy Bruno. Given that the suspect, Antonio Andrade, then 21, had family in Provo, the Amber Alert coordinator sent the first-ever interstate activation, blanketing Utah with a description of Andrade's green minivan with a stripe across the bottom.
So Richey decided to play a hunch. He guessed the most likely travel route would be west on I-80 and then south on Highway 40 toward Provo. Pulling into the median of Highway 40 in his patrol car, he went on the Internet to check MapQuest and look up the estimated travel time from St. Cloud. Just then a vehicle matching the description drove by. "I thought, 'Nah, there's no way,' but I pulled out after it," recalls Richey.
In fact, he quickly verified that the vehicle was Andrade's. Richey followed the car for nearly seven miles, using his radio to coordinate backup officers. When everyone was in place, he pulled over the van. "At first the 11-year-old denied who she was," says Richey. "She had gone voluntarily with him." (Though Bruno's mother, Rosemary, says she declined to testify against Andrade because he was a former friend of the family, he pleaded guilty to deprivation of parental rights and served 94 days in jail, with four years of probation.)
"The Amber Alert relies on everybody that sees it to pay attention," says Richey, now a lieutenant. "The situation where I saw him drive by me was a one-in-a-million shot."

This Paper on Superstarch examines how a food supplement developed for people with Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD) might be used as a better source of energy for endurance sports; its especially good for several reasons:
- No spikes in blood-glucose and insulin
- Provides sustained energy for several hours
- Promotes fat-burning in preference to glycogen and muscle protein
- Much kinder to the gut during an endurance event
New to Sportives?
Many people who take part in cyclo-sportives are experienced cyclists, but there are many others who don't cycle on a regular basis and may benefit from some advice on preparation. Bikes.org.uk have recently written a handy guide on how to prepare for a charity bike ride, view it here for advice on the following topics:
|Clothing & Footwear
|Sponsorship & Publicity
|Bike Gear
|Food & Drink
|Route & On the Day
School Report
On Sunday 23rd September, 2012, my parents and I took part in a 44 mile charity bike ride around the undulating hills of the South Downs. The aim was to raise money for a charity close to my heart, the Association for Glycogen Storage Disease. It is close to my heart as I suffer from this condition; so does my sister.
Basically I don't have an enzyme that helps to break down stored glycogen in my body for energy, so I have no back-up supply of energy, only the energy I get from the food and medication I take. This affects my blood sugar levels.
We trained for the ride as much as we could incorporating as many hills as we could. This made us fitter, or so we thought.
The course we cycled was described as having some undulating hills, but there seemed to be an endless amount of hills, we would just recover from one to find the next hill just around the corner. It took a lot of will power and plenty of snacks to get through it. My main challenge was to balance my sugar levels, with my intake of food and the extra energy I was burning up very quickly whilst riding. I stopped to have a snack and drink every hour, to minimise a severe drop in my blood sugar levels.
It took me 5 hours and 48 minutes to complete the distance, my parents finished a few minutes later. We raised an amazing £2500 between the three of us; we intend to do the bike ride again next year and hope to improve on our times by training more intensely.

I've been doing groundbreaking research into the socioeconomic ramifications of brain transplants. At the moment, I am about to place the cerebral cortex of a green and thrifty Prius owner into the skull cavity of a hedge fund manager whose Lexus LX 570 gets 12 m.p.g.
But I will suspend this scientific work to conduct a more layman-accessible inquiry into the nature of the 2011 Lexus ES 350.
The ES 350 is Lexus' best-selling car and least expensive midsize sedan, although the test car's base price of $35,525 and as-tested tag of $44,000 didn't strike this impoverished ink-stained wretch as a sale at J.C. Penney.

According to reports from OLEDnet LG is believed to be spending as much as US$ 17.6 million on encapsulation equipment from Jusung Engineering and Avaco for the company's Gen 3.5 (730mm x 460mm) flexible AM-OLED pilot line at LG's Paju production facility. LG is reported to have spent about US$ 176 million to complete line when it is finished.
Earlier reports suggest that LG will start construction by 3Q 2012, and the new line should be commissioned by end of 2012. An LGD official said that it will take a further one to two year to complete the development and verification the process and to produce early prototypes.
Source said that LG Display the architecture for the flexible OLED uses a polyimide coated substrate and RGB sub-pixels – this is a different architecture that LG has adopted for their OLED TV which to is to use all white pixels and a colour filter.

#150 to #99 - RainbowFrightIn my fiancees last apartment I would always hear people talking in the hall in front of the bed room and one night I watched the clock in the living room pull itself off the hook on the wall move a foot from the wall and slam down on a pile of movies. The hook never fell out of the wall.

Yeah his was one where you have to lift it up off the nail to get it down...No clock lifts it's self up and the nail was even at an upward angle so it wouldn't fall off the wall because it did it constantly. But he doesn't really believe the clock fell by itself, he thinks I did something to make it fall. -.-

I think I have him coming around to the idea that ghosts might exist. He loves watching Ghost Adventures with me and he couldn't explain all the freaky **** that happened in his place. He told me one night that he heard it but said it had to be the neighbors but he didn't have any...not on his floor.

Even I think it would be hard to believe the person you're dating if you say "when I was five this woman in a green victorian dress would come to my window and talk to me and she would even come into my bedroom." or "One time I was at my grandmas house outside alone talking to myself and heard two little kids giggling" " When I was 15 I was watching a movie in my room and I heard a woman laughing right outside my window on the second story. No one was awake"

My Grandparents built their home and I was 8 when they started. My moms house was fairly new. My mom and dad lived in an apartment /house thing where I saw the victorian woman. The land could be haunted. My Grandma lives in the middle of nowhere and I was walking in the woods in her back yard and saw three boys in 1800's clothing running around...I froze then ran faster then I have ever ran back to her house and I still wont go back.

Manny Pacquiao: 'I helped' Jerry Brown and Nevada's Harry Reid win elections
Lance Pugmire
The Fabulous Forum
November 3, 2010
Manny Pacquiao didn't make his boxing trainer, Freddie Roach, too happy last week when he announced he'd be leaving after a workout Friday to board a flight to Las Vegas.
Pacquiao, a congressman in the Philippines, had some important political work to tend to: campaigning for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
"[Reid] was behind 4% in the polls before I got out there," Pacquiao told The Times on Wednesday before a workout at Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, where he's preparing for his Nov. 13 junior-middleweight title fight against Mexico's Antonio Margarito. "There's a lot of Filipinos in Las Vegas."
Population figures show an estimated 30,000 Filipinos in Las Vegas, with perhaps triple that in all of Nevada. Reid defeated Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle by 40,000 votes, with three-fourths of Asians reporting at exit polls that they voted for Reid.
Pacquiao smiled at the thought of how the assistance he provided a major Washington player could benefit his country in the future.
"I also helped Brown here," Pacquiao said, referring to the governor-elect who defeated Meg Whitman by a more lopsided margin Tuesday. "I helped him campaign. I gave a message to the Filipino community to support Gov. Brown, and they did."
Another boost to future Pacific relations.

Reese Waters
When New York Magazine chose Reese Waters as one of the city's Ten Comedians To Watch, few realized just how quickly his star would rise. From nightly co-hosting The Daily Line on what is now NBC SportsNetwork to back to back appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and The Late Show with David Letterman in Spring, 2011, unanimous praise for the cool and collected Waters just about boiled over when his must see Tea With Tyson interview with Mike Tyson caused a stir on YouTube. Stay tuned as DC native Waters moves on to greater comedy success. And yes, he is quite a catch.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Romantic, Cute, Casual, Retro / Vintage
What materials did you use? The ones required by the course: outside fabric, lining, fusible interfacing and zipper. My zipper was a bit shorter due to Spanish zipper sizes.
What are you most proud of? Just having finished it! It's the first item I complete on my sewing machine and I'm very happy about it.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Take the time to properly cut and true up all the pieces, it really makes assembling easier. My pieces were a bit funky due to lack of skill and cutting tools and I really struggled through some parts; also, my pouch ended up having a funny form, as you can see on the image (then again, it's my first project!)
Excellent! Love your fabric choice and fearless jump into sewing. Wow - a zipper! Took me years to figure out how to sew one of those. :)
Thank you so much for your nice comments!! They really encourage me to go on sewing :-)
Nice job!
Thanks a lot! :D

Just like Fraz, eh? ._. I'd insult your intelligence again, but if MR is the doctor (waitin' on you, Nick...), I don't blame ya shifting your vote to suspect #2.
... But I sure as shit blame ya for makin' a stupid vote. This time without any sort of reasoning. You can't be serious? Your intuition killed J, had it not kicked in again now it may of killed the doctor, so now you've been blessed with a gut feeling that is assuredly telling you I'm the enemy? ._. Interrogate me some more 'fore sending me to the gallows, for god's sake.
Forgettin' important shit's my job, bro.

Some shed tears while others were happy to shed their parents, but all of the Greeley and Evans children who ventured off for their first day of school Thursday had at least one thing in common " they have only 168 days left until summer vacation.
Nearly 20,000 first- through 12th-graders began the 2011-12 school year with pencil and paper and Kleenex and flash drives at one of 24 schools in Greeley-Evans School District 6.
Trey Tadlock, a second-grader at Winograd K-8 School, said he was excited to get back to school, although he could have used one more day of summer. Trey said there were no tears when his mom dropped him off, but he still thinks she was sad.
"Let's just say she didn't drop me off very quick," Trey said. "It was like extra-slow motion. I think she wanted an extra day of summer, too."
Mark Sanchez, 7, also was excited to get back to school after spending his summer at camp.
"It's going pretty good," Mark said. "I like gym because we can play basketball."
Winograd, 320 N. 71st Ave., is home to more students this year because of high demand for the school, said Roger Fiedler, director of communications for District 6. The district installed two new modular buildings during the summer to meet the growing demand. Holly Bressler, the school's principal, said the preschool was moved to Aims Community College, allowing the district to add a third section of first-, fourth- and seventh-graders, as well as some new elective classrooms.
Teachers, administrators and kids were not the only ones happy to see school start back up. At Kum & Go at the intersection of 71st Avenue and 4th Street, employees were greeted with 75-80 hungry stomachs looking for hotdogs, nachos, pizza and burritos during Northridge High School's half-hour lunch block.
The store, about a block south of Northridge, 100 N. 71st Ave., reaps the rewards at lunchtime since the school sits in the far northwest corner of Greeley with nothing except the store to go to for a quick lunch.
"It's great to have the kids back," said Catherine Huggins, a spokeswoman for the store. "We appreciate the business. It's wonderful to have the kids and families back for another school year."
Speaking of food, it also appeared the district's new menu was a hit, with empty food trays and plenty of smiles from the students sitting around the tables at Winograd.
The district now serves only made-from-scratch meals using fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. Trey, who said he knew the menu changed before he started school because "it came in the paper," said he looked forward to trying it out on the first day.
"It's pretty good," Trey said about his lasagna, carrots and bread. "So far, so good. I pretty much love the salad bar because there's carrots, broccoli and cucumbers. And I also like the green leaves."
Whether it was by bus, car, bicycle or foot, all of the students showed up safely the first day, and Bressler said it went well.
"It's gone very smooth," she said. "It's great to have them back."

Hello, Santa Clarita Valley! Welcome to The-Signal.com's Daybreak, your point of entry for the day, and a quick journey through the past, present and future. Let the adventure begin:
"Amidst wallowing in the nirvana granted by the all but divine investiture of Barack Obama, liberals have seemingly abandoned a key element of democracy: dissent." -- F. Andre Hollings, Right Here, Right Now (Click here for letter)
Today is Friday, June 12, the 163rd day of 2009. There are 202 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On June 12, 1963, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, 37, was fatally shot in front of his home in Jackson, Miss. (In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was convicted of murdering Evers and sentenced to life in prison; he died in 2001.)
Ten years ago: Thousands of NATO peacekeeping troops poured into Kosovo by air and by land; but in a surprising move, a Russian armored column entered Pristina before dawn to a heroes' welcome from Serb residents.
Watercooler Talk
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Students have been known to try to fake a doctor's note to get out of school. A South Carolina woman has now been arrested and accused of writing fake doctor's notes for four students.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reported Wednesday that 45-year-old Naomi Antoinette Aranda was charged with forgery. Horry County police said she wrote notes for four students at Socastee High School, including her own child.
Police said the fake documents were created using business cards and forms and were faxed to the school with fake signatures.
Aranda was being held in the Horry County jail. It was unclear if she had an attorney.

The Kickstarter campaign for Festival of Magic, a JRPG that tightly combines combat, farming, and character progression, has been temporarily canceled. Snowcastle Games explained on their Kickstarter page why the project has been put on hold.
With a PS4 Launch, an Xbox One Launch, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas Shopping, we launched the KS at a really bad time and given the time constraint we had we did not get to prepare the campaign as well as we wanted to.
The pros for cancelling now outweigh the cons in our eyes. We have recently acquired a small financial injection which will keep us going until the relaunch in February. We want to use the time in between now and the relaunch to continue with development, as well as to prepare for the new kickstarter campaign.
Snowcastle Games will revamp their reward and update structure, all while continuing development of the game for the next two months. Backers may keep their current reward tiers, but anyone wanting to provide funding for the game will have to wait until the Kickstarter relaunch on February 20, 2014. It's unfortunate to hear this about Festival of Magic, as the game was shaping up to be a compelling Japanese-inspired RPG.
Do you plan on backing Festival of Magic when it relaunches? If you previously backed it, are you keeping your current reward tier? Let us know in the comments below!

I found a local farm with true pastured eggs for 6$ a dozen unfortunately they can't keep up with my measly 10 dozen a month order. I have been forced to go to a neighboring farm at 7$ a dozen... I just ordered 6 dozen so hopefully they are orange and flavorful like the previous farms were.

Farmers' market - $5. Grocery store - anywhere from $4 for just organic to $7 for pastured, soy free, whatever. Pretty much at the grocery store, the more the word "free" appears, the more expensive they are. (N'Orleans.)

Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Best Accessories for Apple TV
Wondering how to watch live sport streaming on Apple TV? The answer is easy: XBMC, AirPlay, Mac/PC screen mirroring and, of course, native Apple TV sport apps. Finding football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, UFC, WWF, or anything else on your Apple TV can feel like and impossible task to anyone one who sits down and sees the limited options in Apple iOS interface, with its limited content partnerships. Though it looks bleak there is a very bright cloud to this quandary and that is the never-ending combination of features we can through at this magical little box.

DETROIT -- General Motors Corp.'s board of directors met for a second day Saturday to make the final decision on whether the automaker would complete its restructuring by filing for bankruptcy protection Monday.
The outcome of the meeting could not immediately be determined. GM and the Treasury Department, which has been guiding the Detroit automaker toward a rescue plan that will give taxpayers nearly a three-fourths stake in the company, went into secrecy mode.
Bondholders Meet
GM's bondholders had a 5 p.m. Saturday deadline to accept an offer to swap their $27 billion in debt for at least a 10 percent stake in a new GM. If the Treasury doesn't get the amount of support it wants, bondholders could wind up with far less in bankruptcy court.
The Treasury Department had no immediate comment on the deadline passing, and GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said the automaker did not plan to make any statements Saturday.
GM took a huge restructuring step Friday when the United Auto Workers union agreed to a cost-cutting deal, and early Saturday, Germany's finance minister said a plan was approved for Canadian auto parts maker Magna International Inc. to move ahead with a rescue of GM's Opel unit.
Monday Deadline
But there was still much to do to beat the government's Monday deadline to qualify for more aid. The company already has received about $20 billion in government loans and could get $30 billion more to make it through what is expected to be a 60- to 90-day reorganization in bankruptcy court.
GM has yet to confirm it will seek bankruptcy protection, but it has scheduled a news conference Monday morning in New York.
The Treasury on Thursday offered bondholders 10 percent of a newly formed GM's stock, plus warrants to buy 15 percent more to erase the debt. Last week, GM withdrew an offer of 10 percent equity after only 15 percent of the thousands of bondholders signed up.
It was unclear how many bondholders took the latest offer, although a group representing large creditors who hold 20 percent of debt agreed to it. If the 15 percent who took the first offer are added in, that would make 35 percent.
Elliott Management Corp., a $13 billion hedge fund and major GM bondholder, also said it had decided to accept the new deal. But Spokesman Scott Tagliarino wouldn't say how much GM bond debt Elliott represents.
Getting as many bondholders as possible to sign on to the offer in advance of a bankruptcy filing could help the automaker get through the court process more quickly, said Robert Gordon, head of the corporate restructuring and bankruptcy group at Clark Hill PLC in Detroit.
"The more consensus you have, the more likely it is you'll be able to move through the bankruptcy process in an expeditious fashion with less resistance," Gordon said.
GM Case
In a typical Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, the company files a plan of reorganization that must be voted on by creditors. In each class of creditors, the plan would have to be approved by holders of two-thirds of the claims and a majority of the number of individual creditors who vote.
But the GM case is anything but ordinary, and it appears the company will sell some or all of its assets to a new entity that would become the new GM, rather than submit a plan to reorganize the old company.
Under a so-called Section 363 sale, the prospective buyer and seller present a fully negotiated asset purchase agreement for approval by the court.
Creditors still can lodge objections, but GM could avoid the drawn-out fights between competing creditors, such as bondholders and workers, that often occur.
Chrysler's Path
Chrysler LLC, which filed for bankruptcy protection April 30, chose a similar path. A judge heard three days of testimony and arguments last week over the sale of most of Chrysler's assets to Italian carmaker Fiat SpA.
U.S. Judge Arthur Gonzalez is expected to approve the sale Monday, pushing Chrysler closer to its goal of a speedy exit from bankruptcy protection. But an appeal is likely from three Indiana state pension and construction funds, which invested in Chrysler debt and say the deal isn't fair. That may force Chrysler to further postpone the deal's closing.
Chrysler claims that any substantial delay could push Fiat to back out if the deal, since the Italian automaker has set a deadline of June 15 to wrap up a transaction.
GM's stock tumbled to the lowest price in the company's 100-year history on Friday, closing at just 75 cents after trading as low as 74 cents. In a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, the shares would become virtually worthless.

Pioneering businesswoman and philanthropist, Dame Stephanie (Steve) Shirley is participating in a special question and answer session with sixth form pupils at Lillian Baylis Technology School (LBTS) today (Tuesday 9 July). During the session, Dame Stephanie will give pupils an insight into the challenges she has faced and overcome throughout her inspirational life, from arriving as a refugee to becoming one of Britain's most successful businesswomen.
The second of a series of motivational talks at LBTS, organised and sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (WCIT), the event will give schoolchildren the chance to ask questions about Dame Stephanie's experiences and get her advice on challenges they face in their own lives. The session is being hosted by George Kalorokoti, CEO of management consultancy etokro; a member of the WCIT; and a school Governor at LBTS.
Dame Stephanie had a traumatic childhood, having arrived in the UK as a five-year old refugee from Nazi Germany in 1939. In 1962, she founded what became a highly successful software company, with just £6, focused around what was then the revolutionary concept of women working flexibly from home.
The company which became known as FI Group focused on creating better work opportunities for women with dependents and making a positive contribution to women in business along the way.
When the business floated, it created 70 millionaires from its employees and made Steve Shirley the 40th wealthiest woman in Britain. In retirement, she has donated much of this wealth to charities, in particular those related to autism - her only son was severely autistic. Her continued charity work has been widely recognised, including picking up a special award at the IT4Good Awards at the BT Centre last week. Last year, she also published a well-received autobiography, Let IT Go, which gives a moving and frank account of her life and career.
Michael Grant, Master of WCIT, said: "Dame Stephanie's life story is an inspiration to many and her pioneering work in countering autism gives real hope to many people with the disorder. She is also a compelling speaker and I am confident she will find an eager and receptive audience at LBTS."
WCIT has played a key role in helping develop a culture based on aspiration and high expectations at LBTS: principles which perfectly align with Dame Stephanie's own vision and values.
WCIT helped LBTS become a specialist school focusing on technology and assists it on a continuing basis with a range of activities with pupils and staff, including providing two school Governors. LBTS, once considered a failing school, was recently graded as outstanding in all aspects (achievement, teaching, behaviour and leadership) by Ofsted - one of only two schools in London to achieve this since the new tougher Ofsted inspection process was introduced in September 2012.
Dame Stephanie's interactive presentation is the second in a series of motivational talks that WCIT is hosting at LBTS. It follows on from a warmly-received speech given by mountaineer and adventurer, Squash Falconer to children at the school in April this year.
About The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (WCIT)

Comments Thread For: Gerber on The Wison Victory, Facing Sprott Again
It seems like the festive spirit is taking over. The Austrian Boxing Federation (FVA) let Michael Sprott (26-19, 17 KOs) of the hook and reduced his ban in order for him to face Edmund Gerber (22-0, 14 KOs) for the second time on December 15. The heavyweight clash is part of the undercard to the WBO Super Middleweight World Championship between Arthur Abraham (35-3, 27 KOs) and Mehdi Bouadla (26-4, 11 KOs).

Dizzyingly inexplicable reversion to past behavior in the presence of a lost aquaintance once associated with the behavior.
Made famous by Robin Sparkles on HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother). She got revertigo and started acting like a high schooler when when her first boyfriend showed up unexpectedly.

When you see someone from the past and immediately start acting like you in that specific time.
Did you see Ted's revertigo in the kitchen yesterday with Barney?

The Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls Club hopes to give residents another reason to feel good about drinking wine.
The club will host a wine tasting and live auction fundraiser at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at Salt Creek Grille in Valencia for $75 per person.
Donelan, the featured winery, has been described by a top wine critic as "a fascinating group of wines," rating Donelan wines from 97-100 points.
Salt Creek's own Chef Tamra Levine has prepared dishes based on the winemaker's tasting notes, and the live auction features three packages designed with the wine enthusiast in mind.
"This has become an important annual event because people really enjoy it," said Carl Kanowsky, president of the club's governing board and co-host of the event. "With at-the-door cost and auction items, this event usually raises about $15,000 to $20,000 in net profit — it has offered a newfound source of money to the club."
Past wine tasting funraisers have raised in total of about $100,000, according to a press release.
Going on its fifth year, the event's success was almost unintentional, Kanowsky said. With good wines, food and conversation, attendees end up staying all night.
"It evolves into a great evening," Kanowsky said.
And each year, the featured winemaker makes all the difference, Kanowsky said.
"We don't go after the big guys (in winemaking), but we bring critically acclaimed wines to the table," Kanowsky said.
This is a completely different experience for those who are used to drinking cheap wines, Kanowsky said.
Though tickets are $75 per person, each attendee ends up consuming about $600 worth of paired food and drinks.
"And the winemakers really end up loving it," Kanowsky said.
Brothers Cushing and Tripp Donelan will be pouring up to seven of their wines, including chardonnay, pinot and other Rhone varietals, Cushing Donelan said.
"We make easy-to-drink wines that pair well with food," he said.
When presented with the opportunity, the Donelan family tries to give back to causes that are important to them and their customers, Cushing Donelan said.
"We jumped on the opportunity to be part of the Boys & Girls Club fundraiser," he said. "It's great to be part of a club that's shaping the character of our next generation, and at the same time, we can help demystify the world of wine."

The Captive Media system uses contactless sensors to detect the position of a man's stream as he pees.
This technology has been developed by Captive Media and is fully patented in the UK, with patents pending overseas.
1 In the venues, units consist of a hi-definition, 12″ LCD screen, integrated with sensors and an industrial-grade PC – all housed in a robust, IP-65 rated enclosure. The PC stores and manages the presentation of content, which is delivered via secure, broadband internet from Captive Media's hosted servers. The PC also posts anonymous score & session data to the servers, from where users can later collect it … using a screen code. Venue owners send their content to Captive Media for scheduled replay during the background loop – stills, videos or even newsfeeds.
2 In the cloud, Captive Media uses a hosted system from the world's largest digital signage player to distribute content overnight to each venue, with full redundancy & backup. Master scheduling software ensures the right content appears at the right times in the right places, and a network administrator monitors availability and tracks ad plays and system performance.

No question 76ers fans are disappointed with their team recently, especially coming off a 27-win season.
Though last season is still fresh in their minds, respondents to a Daily News survey conducted by Temple's Sport Industry Research Center, seem generally excited at the hiring of coach Doug Collins and the drafting of Evan Turner, the national college player of the year, with the second overall pick.
When those who said the Sixers were their favorite team in the city were asked their expectations for Collins, who played all eight of his NBA seasons with the Sixers, 41 percent said they were optimistic and 26 percent said they were very optimistic. Another 28 percent said they will take a wait-and-see approach. Only 3 percent said they were pessimistic and an additional 3 percent said they were very pessimistic.

I'm 27 years old. I look like I'm anywhere from 12 to 22, from what I've been told. I feel like...I'm 90, some days, but most I'll settle for 45 or 50. I have a bad habit of ADHD dieting. Basically: oh THAT looks interesting. I think I'll try it. I've been vegan, vegetarian, eaten straight fast food, eaten straight freezer food, tried warrior dieting, tried calorie counting. And most of my life? Plain, Southern-style, Southern-fried SAD. I've been diagnosed with bursitis, scoliosis, ADHD, PMDD, PTSD, and sleep paralysis. I live in a near constant fog. I can't exercise too much or my hips hurt so badly I can't walk. I wake up with stiff and aching hands. I get migraines. Most of the time I'm lethargic and have zero motivation. I want to clean, exercise, enjoy life. But just sitting there, day in, day out, on the couch doing nothing, just sitting there sinking further and further in to the foggy mire of self-apathy usually wins. I was 200 pounds at 5'2" when I was 18. For 3 wonderful years, I held my weight at 135. Wait...did I say wonderful? I excersized every waking minute ofy life that I wasn't in school or at work. And when I left school and started working, I worked 80 hours a week. My sleep cycle went from a steady and regularly scheduled 6-8 hours a day to whenever I could sleep, however long I could sleep. In short, my diet, my lifestyle, my attitudes...are killing me.
I've read a lot about the primal/paleo lifestyle. I've chosen to try it mostly because it isn't a diet. It doesn't have a lot of rigidity surrounding it (for the most part--I know there are some intense exceptions). I also like the changes everyone sees. That's been actually the biggest draw. With diets, there's this person or that group of people that don't see results, mostly because it isn't right for their body. But with this lifestyle, everyone sees results. Whole body, whole psychology, whole soul results. They are all different, but the overall is the same: loss of weight, clearer skin, better mental acuity...on and on. I've been 145 pounds for close to 3 years now, and no matter what, when I lose the weight it comes back. Because I change my diet, not my mindset.
The biggest hopes I have are:
-losing weight
-regaining control over my mind, rather than feeding it foods that send its chemicals haywire
-increased energy
-getting to a healthy whole self state for myself, my partner, and my family
-ridding myself of the problems associated with ADHD, because I'm about 98% positive everything else is diet, and about 90% positive the ADHD can be controlled or eliminated through diet.

Proteins- 4.5 grams, Carbohydrate 4.5 grams, Fats 9.0 grams...major source of calories
Essential Nutrients
cannot be made in body...need diet to outsource. minerals, most vitamins, 8 amino acids
Globular Proteins
1. channels/pumps 2. fighting infection 3. muscle contraction Meat,fish,eggs,milk---complete proteins (have all amino acids) can be found in plants, seeds, nuts, and cereals
Uses for proteins and amino acids
1. Make structural components of cells and tissues (replace old) 2. Burned as fuel 3. Converted to fat and stored
Uses of Proteins/Amino Acids depends on:
All-or-None rule, Adequate caloric intake, Hormonal controls, and Nitrogen Balance
Positive Nitrogen Balance
making more protein then breaking down for energy..ex: growing children, pregnant women, or recovering for illness/surgery
Negative Nitrogen Balance
breaking down more protein for energy exceeds the amount of protein being incorporated into tissues. ex; poor diet, starvation, or during physical or emotion stress
simple and complex sugars, used for fuel (glucose is primary) and other sugars are converted to glucose by liver to ATP
Dietary Carbohydrate Requirement
at least 130 g/day to support brain activity. complex carbs provide nutrients along with calories, simple sugar/carbs are "empty calories"
Lipids uses in body:
1. serve as fuel (concentrated source of calories) 2. absorption of fat-soluble vitamins 3. make up cellular membranes 4. flavor and tenderness of food 5. cholesterol to synthesis of hormones; integral part of cell membranes
Fatty deposits uses:
1. protective cushion around body organs. 2. insulating layer beneath skin 3. fuel reserve
Dietary Requirements of Lipids
no more that 30% of total calories, limit saturated fat into to 10%, limit cholesterol to 300 mg/day
most are conenzymes - help with enzyme function. only Vit D, K, and B are made in body. no single food has them all
Cellular Respiration
catabolic rxns where food molecules are broken down inside cells to produce ATP
Processing of Nutrients
Stage 1: digestion in GI tract. Stage 2. Nutrients absorbed from bld stream into cytoplasm Stage 3. oxidative breakdown in mitochondria
Stage 1 Digestion in GI tract
Proteins - a.a Carbs - simple sugars/glucose Fats- glycerol, fatty acids
Stage 2 Nutrients absorbed
Anabolism (aa=proteins, glucose = glycagon, glycol/fattyacids = lipids/fats) vs. Catabolism (everything = pyvric acid and actyl CoA)
Citric Acid Cycle
completely broken down, occurs in mitochondria, produces very high energy electrons
formation of glycogen from excess glucose- activated by insulin..stores glucose for later use. happens in liver and skeletal muscle
breakdown of glycogen to form glucose - occurs when bld glucose drops, happens in liver, kidney, intestinal cells

It's not unheard of to find beef at McDonald's, but usually not like this.
A dairy cow escaped from her pen in Colorado and wandered to the Mickey D's drive-thru.
Tucked away off the main drag in Brush is a family farm any 4-year-old would run to. It's full of goats, a pudgy pig and a cow named, "Darcy."
That's Lady Darcy, the same cow that picked up a 5th place presentation award at the Morgan County Fair last summer.
"She's a good cow," said Sandy Winn, Darcy's owner.
Good is one way to describe her. Stubborn is another because when Darcy doesn't get attention in her pen, she goes elsewhere to get it.
"We got a call from dispatch asking if my son had a dairy cow," said Winn. "I said, 'Yeah, he has a dairy cow,' and she told me that it was up at McDonald's."
Somehow, Darcy was able to break out of her gate and hoof it a half-mile to the local McDonald's.
She walked through the drive-thru and butted her head up against the window.
"Not making any orders. Maybe visiting relatives, but not making any orders," said Winn.
The folks at McDonald's got a kick out of it and snapped some pictures before Darcy's owners found out and took her home.
"I thought she was going to be in jail," said Winn's son, Lucas.
Little Lucas is happy to know the only pen Darcy will be staying in is the one she's accustomed to, equipped with plenty of grass and plenty of alfalfa.
"And crackers," said Winn.
No fries, no milkshake, but a story that has the whole town talking.
"She would probably go there again if she could get out," said Winn.
The Winn family said it had a pig escape once, but it only made it a block, not all the way to the barbecue place.
The family wasn't ticketed this time around, since Brush doesn't have a 'cow-at-large' ordinance.

I'm greedy when it comes to Christmas presents. And this year, I wanna give more presents than anyone else gives.
That's right, I'm a greedy giver. After all, giving is better than receiving.
But every year I say I want to give more presents than everyone else gives, and every year I end up giving less than others. And I always feel guilty about it.
Last Christmas, my wife and I attended a holiday gathering with some "couples" friends. We all agreed not to give any gifts to each other so everyone could save some money. Instead, we'd just enjoy each other's company for the holidays.
My wife and I honored the agreement. We showed up empty-handed and made our presence known, ready to enjoy each other's company as planned. Our company showed up with gifts in hand and made it known that my wife and I were the only people without presents to give.
Our friends were more than generous.
I was furious. After all, giving is better than receiving.
Many years back, my extended family decided to put together a big ol' fun-filled family-style Christmas Eve gathering. Someone in the family (who has yet to reveal his or her identity) created a gift exchange as a means to save money, where each member of the family was designated to buy for just one other person, an individual assigned to each person through word of mouth.
As it turned out, the younger kids somehow got double the gifts, and the older kids didn't get any gifts at all. My sister and I were among the kids who didn't get a gift. Unbeknownst to the two of us, she and I were supposed to exchange gifts, which was bizarre since we usually exchanged gifts on Christmas Day anyway.
The family elders clashed over who was supposed to give who a gift, who spent more money, who didn't spend enough, etc. These grown adults in conflict made the Cuban Missile Crisis look like a bloodthirsty battle between snails.
I told everyone not to fuss on my behalf, that I wasn't upset I didn't receive a gift.
I was instructed to mind my own business while the adults argued about my missing present.
And just before my elders stormed out the door, wishing each other a merry life, some of them handed out cash to those of us who didn't receive gifts, vying to be named the biggest giver.
Yes, that was the Christmas I learned that he who gives most wins. That's when I learned giving is much better than receiving.
This Christmas season marks an all-time low in personal finances for nearly everyone I know. I heard through word of mouth among family members that we're to get creative with gift giving this year.
Some of my relatives are planning to make gifts for each other instead of buying them. Friends laid firm ground rules that there will be absolutely no gift exchange. Even some of the die-hard gift-givers I know will be settling for pulling names from a hat to cut down on the number of gifts they have to buy. I've already received the name of the person I'm to treat with a present.
I'm glad my family and friends aren't going to break the bank trying to give gifts they can't afford. I really don't need anything. And I certainly can't fund a ton of stuff for others.
But that's not going to stop me from being the biggest giver this year.
I want to be the one who shows up at a gift-less gathering with a Santa Claus bag of joy. I want to be the one who buys for everyone in the group instead of for the one person assigned to me in the gift exchange.
I don't care how much money I have to spend. I'm going to be the biggest giver this year. I'll go as far as to pull my wife and kid down into miserable debt with me.
After all, giving is much better than thinking.
