LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Juveniles who leave their helmets behind when they go skateboarding in Laguna Beach could have their boards confiscated under an ordinance being considered by the City Council.
The Orange County Register reports the council is set to consider adopting the law at its Tuesday night meeting.
State law requires that anyone under 18 wear a helmet when riding a skateboard.
The proposed ordinance would allow police to seize the boards of violators in Laguna Beach.
First-time offenders would lose their boards for a week and would have to have their parents retrieve them.
Repeat offenders could lose their boards for as long as a month.
Laguna Beach has previously adopted laws banning skateboarding on steep hills. It has also adopted speed limits and other safety requirements for riders.

Homes Burned in Wind Driven Fire
Multiple agencies responded to homes on fire on the 1200 block of Oxnard Boulevard.
The fire began around 3:42 p.m. Friday near the Five Points intersection in Oxnard.
Some people saw downed power lines in the area, but firefighters have not determined the cause. Homes, apartments and businesses are in that area. Several structures were fully engulfed in flames.
Oxnard police said county and city crews were fighting the fire. There have been several fires in Ventura County today. One fire occurred on the ridge above Ventura Avenue near Shell Road, another by the Victoria motel.
Dispatchers also received calls from people mistaking dust storms for fires.
The Santa Ana winds are blowing as strong as 67 miles an hour from Laguna Peak near Point Mugu all the way to the beach and the Channel Islands and Ventura harbors.
Smoke from the Oxnard fire blew toward the ocean and could be seen for miles.
No serious injuries have been reported.

Crepuscule with Thelonious
New music by Thelonious! Oh! Wish that were true!
It is November the twenty-second, nineteen sixty-three. There are to be no piano lessons for me today. The study is silent. Across the hallway, I can hear the radio. My aunt and music teacher returns from another room and announces that President Kennedy has been shot dead. Murdered by a "crazy animal," she says. I hear whispers of "shadowy group" and "gangsters." My aunt decides to cancel the music lesson. No talk of Beethoven. None about Bach, Mozart, Chopin or Liszt either. My aunt decides to mourn the death of President Kennedy. Eight and alone, I sit in the dark of my father's study. "Go do something with your time," my aunt says. I slide off the piano stool and walk over to the shelf where the vinyls are neatly and alphabetically stacked.
I put my finger to the spine of a recorda 78rpm and start to slide it across the 78's and then the 331/3's. I stop at C. The orange spine is attractive. I slide the record off the shelf. It is entitled The Genius of Charlie Christian. An amateur recording was made in 1940-41 at Minton's Playhouse. It is a bootleg. The cover color is a ghastly shade of orange, with a drawing of the guitaristvery old-fashioned. I don't care. I flip the record over and read from the top. "Featuring Thelonious Monk, piano; Kenny Clarke, drums; Nick Fenton, bass; Joe Guy, trumpet and Teddy Hill's band." The legend: "recorded at Minton's Playhouse in 1940." catches my eye.
I am fascinated by things that happened before I was born. I read on and as my father is not in the country I muster the courage to walk up to the gramophone and put the vinyl on the turntable.
The room is dark and lit by the eerie glow of a red lamp that sits on the family altar. My grandmother had bought this from the Fatima Shrine in Portugal. I pretend that I am at Minton's and place the tone arm of the gramophone on the vinyl. The hiss and crackle is deafening, but then the music comes on in the middle of a bar and I forget everything but the music.
The room is now smoky and has shape-shifted. I am at Minton's Playhouse. Monk is playing on a lousy piano, but he is self-absorbed. The tone is sharp and when I tune in everyone is swinging madly. Swing to Bop! Klook is dropping rhythmic bombs on the bass drum, firing rim shots on the snare. Monk, flat-fingered, intense, in wild and dissonant harmony. until it's time to revisit the melody with bright new statements in sound. Nick Finton is walking steady and Guy is flailing his trumpet, getting rid of the saliva. Then polishing the bell and his brow with a white handkerchief. Christian is playing fluid lines up and down the fret board, mixing it up. Never heard that before. But it is Monk who is drawing some attention as well. Someone says, Dizzy's here today but no one sees him. He loves what Monk is doing. He tells Bird. We got to get together with him.
Suddenly I am afraid that I will be discovered and will be thrown out of the place. I slink deeper into the corner, behind the piano. The song ends. A few of the people clap. Most are too busy getting drunk. Somebody counts off the next number. Kenny "Klook" Clarke or Joe Guy. Up on Teddy's Hill... Monk strikes the keys with a splayed hand. He plays a minor chord. And then a rapid run, which is surprisingly quick considering he does so with flattened fingers, taking his right hand over his left as he heralds the melody squeezing out five notes in a triplet! I have never heard anything like this before.
I practice Bach etudes for hours everyday. This should have been an affront but it is not. I am totally seduced by the sound. And the harmonics and the rhythmic intensity. Smitten by the sizzle and bop of Klook's accents on the ride. Christian returns from his wild ride and now it is Monk's time to soarall too briefly he delivers a sermon with a new syntax and a new language is born of his invention. His fingers are chipping at the melody and a new harmonic design he builds a towering edifice in the new soundscape. Christian trades bars with Guy. Klook drops more bombs. Monk is all over the piece. It ends as suddenly as it began "Stompin At The Savoy!"

The sun is out, sleeves are getting short, and that means: it's time to update your look for the season.
We have created two easy DIY projects that will add a nautical touch to your wardrobe without breaking the bank or having to buy a boat. Learn how to make your own knotted bracelet and...come sail, um, away.
Just in case you haven't noticed, nautical-inspired bracelets are the thing right now, but like with everything that's trendy, they can get pricey, but guess what? This DIY will cost you $2, maybe less! So you have no excuse to not look dapper for the season.
How To: Create a Nautical Inspired Bracelet, Part I
- Nylon cord: 1 yard (available at any craft or hardware store)
- Scissors
Make it:
1: Start by wrapping the cord around your wrist twice. Add 1 extra inch. Cut.
2: Fold in half. Tie a double figure 8 loop ("Bunny Ears") right in the middle.
3: Tie an overhand knot where the loose ends meet, and a loop knot on the other end (same as overhand, just a bit of room for the loop).
4: Cut any excess cord (don't cut too close to the knot) and burn the ends with a lighter to prevent it from frilling.
That's it! You're ready to rock the boat. As an added bonus, you now can talk about knots like a true sailor.
Next week we'll show you the 2nd installment of this project, a different design that's even easier to make!

I stopped posting here awhile back, probably a couple years ago or so. Just wanted to stop in and let anyone who wanted to trade Filpulla a couple years ago know how stupid they are. I can't even describe how many topics/posts on hating Filpulla there was and how many intense arguments I engaged in regarding him. That kid has always shown such great potential but was just one little step off from making alot of great plays we would have remembered for along time. He use to never get the power play time or chance to play with the skill players he needed to complete him. Now look at him.. Who knows how good this kid could be for us for years to come. Yeah I'm sure Joe average all you guys wanted to dump him for would have paid off real good today hey?
I also wanted to chip in on some other garbage I noticed in my 5 minutes of browsing the forums.. You guys are seriously dogging Franzen? Do you guys even watch other games besides the Wings? You do know unless you sacrifice all your depth, defense, goal-tending you just can't have four 80 point players now days? Look how good that has worked out for teams. Franzen is our 3rd/4th forward, and he is a very good one. Bottom line, enough said, that's a fact. Look it up. What do you expect Crosby and Ovechkin to fill out 3rd and 4th forward position? Get real you none appreciative clowns.
Oh our team this year isn't Stanly Cup caliber?? How so? Because we lost a few games past couple weeks? You do realize we are one of the top teams in the league and have been all season right? We don't have as much talent you say?? Hmm weird, we have pretty much the same players as we had last Stanley cup final appearance.. Except for all of our depth is even better today than it was now. All of our bottom forwards, Kronwall is playing like a top defensemen in the entire league. Get real guys and appreciate this great team we have. Not good enough for ya I'm sure ya can go find a better franchise than Detroit to follow. Wait, there isn't one.
Now is the time to trade him while his value is good.I'd trade him even up for Chris Neil or Parros and it would be the easiest decision I'd make all year.

Column - Rick Perry: State woefully short of nurses
AUSTIN - If you have ever encountered a medical emergency or received extended medical attention, you'll likely recall that, while doctors came and went, it was the nursing staff that got you through it.
Editorial: Fee increase pays for water
Amarillo City Hall is on the hunt for more water, and it needs money to find, develop and deliver it to the city's growing population.
Letter: Media deify Obama, Kennedy
Will certain members of the mainstream media please decide if the true god is President Obama or Sen. Kennedy so I'll know to whom to address my prayers?
Letter: Remove the beam
(Re: Letter to the editor, Aug. 22, "Pitts spews racist hate.")
Editorial: Bridge gets untracked
Finally, it appears that a long-awaited transportation project is getting untracked.
Letter: Stop the posturing
Kudos to Matt Schmitto (letter to the editor, Aug. 21), who exposed conservative hypocrisy in the matter of life. Routinely, neo-conservatives support anti-life measures, specifically their philosophy on foreign policy.
Letter: Who's calling who names?
I had to scratch my head as I read Steve Holland's letter (Aug. 22) proposing that columnist Leonard Pitts was a "racist hatemonger." I just quoted Holland's own words, by the way, something which he failed to do in accusing Pitts.
Letter: Reform plans are scary
Regarding Charles Kiker's guest column (Aug. 23), "Reform foes apply big scare," it is clear that he is uninformed about what the ultimate result of the health care bill will be; it will restrict access to certain procedures just as universal care in Canada and England do. The reason is simple: cost.
Letter: Return government to the people who created it
I admit naivete, but is virulent disdain a necessary prerequisite for ideological differences. If indeed the salient point is character assassination then perhaps, yes, but it seems rather unproductive for a conciliatory resolve.
Letter: Don't change everything
Health care reform is the hot topic issue of the day. There are aspects of our health care system that need improvement. However certain things need no reform.

Overall Experience:
Armstrong is a great school for non-traditional students. Different course options exist for those who work full-time and/or have families to attend to. The professors are knowledgeable, approachable, and understanding.
Overall Experience:
Generally small class size, connection to students
Overall Experience:
Make sure people are qualified at their services.
Health & Safety:
Campus has security monitoring the grounds often.
Greek Life:
I am not a part of Greek Life.
Recently updated campus tennis court and arena.
Overall Experience:
My college has a variety of programs of study.
Overall Experience:
everyone seemed nice on orientation and friendly.
Overall Experience:
Some professors are not that good, but from my experiences most care about the students and are willing to help the student if the student reaches out for help.
Health & Safety:
I believe the safety is very good on campus. If there is some sort of danger, all students on campus are notified immediately through email and cellphone.
Campus Housing:
I loved my experience living in the freshman dorms. I loved it so much I have applied to live in the freshman dorms once again as a sophomore! Most people are very social and are easy-going. You wouldn't have trouble meeting new people considering there are social rooms in the dorms.
Greek Life:
Greek life isn't huge on campus, but I would say many people at least notice there are fraternities and sororities. Many people do consider going Greek. Others don't even know what fraternities and sororities are on campus. That is the case probablt because there is no housing on campus.
I don't think sports are a big deal on campus. Basketball and volleyball might be the most popular sports there. I personally went to maybe one basketball game, one volleyball game, and one soccer game.
Overall Experience:
I absolutely loved my first year as a college student at Armstrong State University. I came to Savannah knowing one or two people at most, and I left it know at least one hundred people. It was fairly easy making friends, and I made some good, hardworking friends who cared about their education and did not waste their time partying every weekend. My favorite experiences had to have been the times I would go play soccer in the intramural fields. If I could do it all over again, I would!
Greek Life:
Greek life on campus is pretty small compared to other universities, but the greeks always are doing things to support the community and help students as best they can.
The athletics at Armstrong are what allow students to get together as a community and really allow students to relax and enjoy themselves while supporting their school.
Overall Experience:
Attending Armstrong Atlantic State has been an outstanding school for me so far and the diversity of students in outstanding.
Overall Experience:
I love everything about my school.
Health & Safety:
We have the best officers.
Greek Life:
I plan to pledge this year.
I wish the Student Rec had more to offer.
Overall Experience:
Challenging and Diverse college! Most professors are very helpful and seem to care about you reaching your educational goals. The campus is is beautiful and easy to navigate.
Every professor I have had wants you to learn their material and wants you to pass. They are willing to meet you outside of class, answer texts or phone calls late at night. The registration process is extremely easy and it is easy to get into the class you want. If the class is full you can usually email the professor and explain why you need the class and the professor will usually make an expection and add you to their class.
The diversity on campus is great. There are many different ethnic groups and every month the Hispanic Heritage club holds a lunch in where any student and/or faculty can come and learn about the Hispanic culture. Religion is also diversed I have met people that are Hindu, Luthern, Cathlic, Muslim, etc.
Overall Experience:
The professors are helpful and easy to contact outside of class. Courses include the general undergrad prerequistes and other classes include neurophysiology (which you can get a minor in).

Scrappers use soft hits to beat Cutters
July 24, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
This wasn't ripping a Band-Aid off in a quick and less painful manner. This was slow and painful.
Of the 17 hits Mahoning Valley had against Williamsport on Tuesday night, less than five were rocket shots. The rest, bleeders through the hole, flares off the end of the bat, seeing-eye singles.
It was torturous for a Williamsport pitching staff that has seen so much improvement in the last two weeks. Of course, the blasts from the Scrappers offense, an RBI double for Tyler Naquin and a two-run home run for Joe Wendle, hurt too.
Mahoning Valley closed out a two-game sweep of the Crosscutters last night, winning 9-3, collecting multiple hits in five innings and combining it with three pitchers who scattered six hits. Williamsport starter Nic Hanson allowed nine hits and seven earned runs in 3 1/3 innings, and Ramon Oviedo allowed eight hits in 3 1/3 as the Crosscutters fell to 12-24 this season.
"They threw some balls over the plate," Cutters manager Andy Tracy said of his pitching staff.
Seven of the nine Mahoning Valley starters had at least two hits, and all nine starters had at least one hit. Naquin and Wendle were two of the biggest Cutter-bashers last night, and pretty much all season.
Naquin, the Cleveland Indians' first-round pick this year, was 2 for 4 last night, including a two-out RBI double to the opposite field in a three-run third inning. Naquin is hitting .481 (13 for 27) against the Crosscutters this year with five RBIs.
Wendle, a West Chester University product, was 2 for 5 last night with a pair of runs batted in. He's hitting .360 (9 for 25) with eight RBIs against Williamsport this year.
"They've been killing us all year. We have to make pitches," Tracy said. "You can't miss over the plate with these guys. They're older hitters. They've very talented and they do damage."
They keyed the Scrappers' two-out rally in the third inning which came just after Williamsport had tied the game at 1-1. Hanson retired two of the first three in the inning, allowing just a single to nine-hole hitter Robel Garcia.
He was behind to Naquin, 1-0, when Naquin, a left-hand hitter, one-hopped the wall in left field over the head of Larry Greene Jr. Garcia, running on the hit with two outs, scored easily.
Two pitches later, Wendle put a charge into the ball to right field and a gusting wind helped carry it over the fence. Mahoning Valley scored its first four runs with two outs.
"Back-breakers. Two-out runs are back-breakers," Tracy said. "We have to find a way to maintain the same intensity. Don't let up with two outs."
Trailing 1-0, Williamsport appeared poised to take the lead in the bottom of the second inning when it loaded the bases with nobody out thanks to singles from Chris Serritella (1 for 4) and Mitch Walding (2 for 3) and a walk from Brian Pointer. Zach Taylor grounded back to the mound and the Scrappers got an out at the plate for the first out.
Catcher Logan Moore, who is hitting .355 in his last 10 games, drove a ball to right field off the wall. But everybody moved up just one base and only Walding scored. Pointer had gone back to second base to tag up on the play and when Mahoning Valley right fielder Hunter Jones got the ball back to the infield quickly, each runner was only able to move up one base.
Scrappers starting pitcher Luis Morel got out of the jam with a strikeout on a fastball up in the zone of Tyler Greene, and a strikeout looking at a fastball of newly acquired Kyle Hoppy. Hoppy was recently released by the Orioles organization and signed by the Phillies. He was hitting leadoff for the Cutters last night because Roman Quinn was out with a sore right hand.
"You have to be halfway at second," Tracy said. "He made a mistake. He just had a mind freeze. An answer is an answer. What do you say?"
Moore drove in his second run of the night with a single in the fourth inning to cut the Cutters' deficit to 8-2, but after that, Morel combined with Josh Martin to retire the next 10 hitters and 15 of the next 17.
"We just couldn't get anything," Tracy said. "Playing from behind we have to go station to station and you can't make things happen. Obviously our lineup is a little different without (Quinn) at the top of it."
Steven Inch threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings to close out the game for the Cutters. Walding went 2 for 3 with a pair of hard-hit singles to the left side. It was the 19-year old third baseman's first multi-hit game since July 13.

|Linux / Unix Command: lockfile
|Command Library
NAMElockfile - conditional semaphore-file creator
SYNOPSISlockfile -sleeptime | -r retries |
-l locktimeout | -s suspend | -! | -ml | -mu | filename ...
DESCRIPTIONlockfile can be used to create one or more semaphore files. If lockfile can't create all the specified files (in the specified order), it waits sleeptime (defaults to 8) seconds and retries the last file that didn't succeed. You can specify the number of retries to do until failure is returned. If the number of retries is -1 (default, i.e., -r-1) lockfile will retry forever.
If the number of retries expires before all files have been created, lockfile returns failure and removes all the files it created up till that point.
Using lockfile as the condition of a loop in a shell script can be done easily by using the -! flag to invert the exit status. To prevent infinite loops, failures for any reason other than the lockfile already existing are not inverted to success but rather are still returned as failures.
All flags can be specified anywhere on the command line, they will be processed when encountered. The command line is simply parsed from left to right.
All files created by lockfile will be read-only, and therefore will have to be removed with rm -f.
If you specify a locktimeout then a lockfile will be removed by force after locktimeout seconds have passed since the lockfile was last modified/created (most likely by some other program that unexpectedly died a long time ago, and hence could not clean up any leftover lockfiles). Lockfile is clock skew immune. After a lockfile has been removed by force, a suspension of suspend seconds (defaults to 16) is taken into account, in order to prevent the inadvertent immediate removal of any newly created lockfile by another program (compare SUSPEND in procmail(1)).
Mailbox locksIf the permissions on the system mail spool directory allow it, or if lockfile is suitably setgid, it will be able to lock and unlock your system mailbox by using the options -ml and -mu respectively.
EXAMPLESSuppose you want to make sure that access to the file "important" is serialised, i.e., no more than one program or shell script should be allowed to access it. For simplicity's sake, let's suppose that it is a shell script. In this case you could solve it like this:
- ... lockfile important.lock ... access_"important"_to_your_hearts_content ... rm -f important.lock ...
SEE ALSOrm(1), mail(1), binmail(1), sendmail(8), procmail(1)
Important: Use the man command (% man) to see how a command is used on your particular computer.

Does that include the terminal shutdown time because some dumbass security guard leaves his post unattended, allowing a lovestruck dufus to go enter the terminal through the exit lane (unsearched)?

Director: Jim Jacoby
Starring: Mai Lin, Jade East, Kimi Gee, Lin Shia, Blake Palmer, Buck Adams, Don Fernando.
China Girl is one of the best adult features ever with Annette Haven playing… oops, wrong China Girl. This time around, plot #1 has Kimi Gee poor while everybody else is rich. Plot #2 has Jade East looking for a man servant. The scenes are jumbled together like a Chinese menu. Take one from column A, two from column B. Only screen vet mai Ln is able to project the necessary sexiness to interest us. Below average, for this repertory company.

The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products. If saving money and resources is important to you and you are not concerned with minor wear you should consider purchasing off-lease. Off lease products carry limited warranties through the original leasing agent or their third party refurbisher. See below for warranty details.

The suggestion I got from someone on this bored is to go 4 weeks without any of the foods you are testing. Then it quite a lot of it (several servings at each meal) for 1-3 days. See what happens over the course of the next week or so, wait until you are back at a good baseline, then test the next food item.
This strategy worked well for me, with one exception....testing things that affect my skin. It seems to take at least ten days for skin issues to flare up. So for skin issues, I would eat the food for one week and then wait three weeks to see what happens.
Good luck!!

Getting prepared
December 15, 2013
I have learned first-hand the struggle of being a student-athlete, and all the things that it comes with in my first semester of college....
Why are there so many articles and letters from Mansfield? Don't the people of Lycoming and Penn College ever have any news or opinions to contribute. Mansfield has their own paper. I understand Sun-Gazette is trying to sell more papers, but excluding all the voices of Penn and Lyco. isn't helping this backwards community.

" either happy and stress free, or struggling to sleep at night and abusing supplements to keep up with all of their work." The author sets up a false choice. The well adjusted person deals with stress, struggles at times, and can still be living a happy (satisfying and meaningful) life. I think any life worth living has its share of moments when you are overwhelmed, stressed, etc. The question is, do you give in? Or, do you work through the challenges that life presents? I honestly don't think that the author is ready yet for the challenges and uncertainties of adult life.

Ms. Lopes, as a parent of 5 let me tell you of parental stress. Advice and life experience is constantly given by most parents. You know how hard it is to watch kids make the wrong choice because advice or our experiences are considered outdated? can't see the forest for the trees is appropriate, or it's gonna come back and bite you in the ass. We do try.

Doesn't Mansfield have a newspaper?

A lot of good advice, I hope Ms. Lopes reads these comments and succeeds in her life goals.

Life is difficult.
A few years from now, you will look back at your college years and wish you had them back.
Stop living life for others and live it for yourself. Set your goals, seek out advice, but make the decisions yourself.
You will make mistakes. Learn from them. Learn whose advice is trustworthy and whose is not.
The most brilliant people in the world make mistakes.
Know that, love it, and live it.

Man Olivia, what a crock. You have a lot to learn. Listen to ToTEXASfromPA that is good advice.
Being better than others is not the same as doing the best you can with what God gave you.

Ms. Lopes- When they ask you how you maintained a 3.0 GPA, use a word very seldom used in college- "rigor". It's what college used to be about to prepare young people for life beyond college. There were even Saturday morning classes.....

Ms. Lopes,
After reading this letter, I still question whether you have the issues of life all sorted out and are headed down the right path. It sounds like you have made good choices to abandon the drugs, manage your time better, train in a more focused way, and get more rest.
But my question is do you have your ladder on the right wall, are you climbing towards the right goals, are you living your life for others (a coach or parent) as opposed to living for Christ?
We were created to have a relationship with God; the creator of us all; the creator of all around us; the one who loves us and wants the best for us; the one who knows our strengths, abilities, thoughts, and being.
Get your relationship right with Jesus Christ (the way, the truth, and the life) and follow him. Let him lead you through life and life will be a joy. I pray that God shower you with His richest blessing and that you be given peace, comfort, wisdom, and purpose.

Cap, I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading this. I guess it's much easier to blame someone else. I wonder how much stress her parents are under financially, physically and mentally putting a daughter through college, especially since her parents are sure to hear about this LTE.

Ms. Lopes, BEFORE turning to self medication, you had the choice to turn to counselors at the school, your coach, and even your parents for advice. Your situation is only a preview of what you will be experiencing in real life once you enter the work force and have a family. Will you turn to drugs then when you have a full time career and a couple of kids which is also stressful and a fulltime job? Throwing your parents under the bus because of decision you made now that you're an adult is not the way to solve your problems. The stress in life has only just begun.

Olivia Lopes-"All of this could have been easily avoided if my parents had let me become more active and learn how to train my body as well as learn my bodies needs to make it throughout the day."
I lost focus when I read this one statement. I find it disheartening when a person finds the need to put the 'blame' for their problems on someone else, especially their own parents. Here's some advice for you, Ms Lopes; take responsibility for your own mistakes and shortcomings.

The Multi-County Grand Jury in Oklahoma City, whose charge includes a number of matters including issues in Rogers County government, late today issued an interim report and a sealed indictment.
The indictment was presented in open court, according to the report, but Attorney General Scott Pruitt's office said neither the subject of the indictment or the identity or position (if any) of the individual indicted was disclosed.
The grand jury met Jan. 21-23, it reported. "In this session the grand jury received the testimony of witnesses and numerous exhibits in several different matters," the interim report said.'
"The time allotted this session did not permit the grand jury to complete its investigation of the matters heard, The grand jury will recess at this time to its next scheduled session on Feb. 4-6, 2014 to permit the summoning of additional witnesses and the gathering of additional physical evidence by the invstigators assisting the grand jury, at which time the grand jury will resume its investigations," the report concluded.
It was not announced when the information on the indictment would be unsealed.

Q. Could you tell me if Office 2000 will work with the new Windows 7 operating system?
A. Keeping in mind that Office 2000 is 9 years old and is three versions out of date you should not be surprised to learn that it is not fully compatible with Windows 7.
Versions of Windows 7 Professional and higher do have something called Windows XP Mode which allows you to run older version of software in windows 7 that were compatible with XP but don't work so will in Windows 7.
XP Mode will only work if your CPU supports either AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) or Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel-VT) and from what I have read, hardware that does support this has it turned off by default so you'd have to enable it.
From all I've read, it's really not worth the headache.
You're best bet is to either upgrade to a more current version of Office or consider using the free Open Office suite.

All Good Things..
Published july 10, 2016, 07:59:23 pm 20
Hey everyone,
This post has been a long time coming. We've been putting off writing it for a while for a variety of reasons, but the most important is, has, and will always be, our desire to do right by our fans.
It is on this note that we're regretfully announcing the indefinite halt of JC3-MP development. We know you've been waiting for news over this past year - your desire to play it is matched by our desire to make it - but there's a good reason.
Good and bad news often come in pairs, and this case is no exception; several months ago, I (Trix) was approached with an offer I couldn't refuse: to join Avalanche Studios Sweden as a developer so that I could work on projects present and future. As part of Avalanche, I'll be able to bring many of the things you know and love from JC2-MP into future Avalanche experiences, while reaching heights that a mere mod couldn't facilitate. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, neither I or the rest of the team can actively pursue development on JC3-MP; our lives are just too busy to allow for it right now.
We will still be maintaining JC2-MP where appropriate - while we're not actively adding new features, we will fix bugs, maintain stability, and ensure that JC2-MP remains a quality experience for players present and future. We're still searching for solutions to our most prevalent issues (including AMD compatibility without workarounds); hopefully, we'll be able to make headway in the future.
As a closing note, we'd like to thank our loyal fanbase for all the support over the years. While we know we haven't always been the most communicative, our hearts have always been behind our mod(s) and their players. All of us remember the many wonderful moments we had in the beta tests and joining random servers well after release; on behalf of the team, thank you to all of the players, server owners, scripters, and you for everything. We couldn't have done any of it without your ongoing support.
And hey, you never know what might happen in the future - we might see you down the line in another adventure

Im sure she does believe shes a man if their using solitary confinement to discipline her. They banned solitary confinement in prison because so many inmates suffered sever psychosis when they came out hearing voices and hallucinating.

Sunday night I was planning on attending the Gretchen Wilson show at our local festival. I was there Friday night and saw Shaggy and George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. My husband runs the beer garden every year and I rarely see him because I end up on the other side of the park in the VIP section. So before he left Sunday morning I said …
Excited festival attendee: I think I might come to the show tonight to see Gretchen Wilson.
The Warden: You better behave tonight.
And he left.
So then I'm all …
He wasn't any where near me.
I behaved.
I did.
I can't help that people like me and want to bring me a drink, give me t-shirts, bring me a drink, invite me on stage, bring me a drink, invite me on stage to dance with the band, bring me a drink.
That is not my fault.
So then I started to recall Friday night and wondered how I hadn't behaved …
When I got to the fest, I made my way to the VIP section, ran for a drink and came back to talk to my friend LaWanda …
Me & LaWanda
She was working the gate along with her bodyguard – a police officer. When the police officer saw me approaching he quickly turned and said …
Officer not so friendly: Excuse me, you can't go out with your drink.
Law abiding citizen: I'm not going out with my drink, I came to talk to my friend.
And I didn't shut up: Were you gonna handcuff me?
Ummm: Because I'll let you.
Officer friendly:
Okay, so that might be my fault but you can never have enough police officer friends.
Later in the evening one of my festival Sugar Daddys invited me on stage …
That wasn't my fault … I was invited.
Then I caught my friend dancing in the middle of the park by herself …
Okay, that is kind of my fault. I should never leave my friend dancing alone in the middle of park.
So then I kept seeing this guy all around the park and I started calling him Devin …
Hey Devin …
And I'm so glad I made friends with Devin because when I saw how long the booze line was and I saw my friend Devin was next in line, I was all … Hey Devin .. I so need to get your picture.
And I took their picture.
So I could cut in line.
For booze.
Umm … My fault and I'm so ashamed.
And please note … that is his wife's purse. I know this because I said … I am so loving your purse Devin.
So then we headed off to the side of the stage to watch the band. The band people were inviting the crowd people on stage to dance. And I was all … OH MY DANCING QUEEN … I need to get on stage. And then it happened … the guy from the band extended his hand out to mine and I so eloquently quickly pranced across the stage and started dancing.
That was not my fault … I was invited.
But then as I was dancing I was all … OH MY DANCE OFF … people can see me!
And I ran off the stage.
I think I was on stage for a total of 20 seconds.
Then the concert was over and while my friend and I headed across the park to the beer garden some guy yelled to me …
HEY … you were the hottest chick on stage.
And I was all … OH MY GAWDDDD Really? Hahaha I was the hottest chick on stage?
And he was all … Yea you were.
And I was all … OH MY GAWDDDD hahaha I was the hottest chick on stage.
And I couldn't wait to get to the beer garden to tell my husband I was the hottest chick on stage.
And that was the only thing I told him.
So I'd like to know who told on me?
Because obviously he heard more than his wife being the hottest chick on stage.
Have a good day all … and for the record … drunk guys after concerts think all chicks are hot.
The week on The Hunter's Wife ~ how I misbehaved at Sunday's show.

The dead of winter is off-season for a lot of outdoors men and women, which is probably why a sizable crowd attended the Altoona Mirror's seventh annual Hunting & Fishing Show Saturday at the Blair County Convention Center, according to Teresa Patterson of Hollidaysburg, co-host of a national television show called "Wired Outdoors."
Hunting, for instance, "is such a social sport," Patterson said.
People like to talk about their hunting exploits. They like to be with their families.
"It's bonding with kids," she said as she stood as her display booth in the convention center and discussed "Wired Outdoors," which reaches 16 million viewers on the Sportsman Channel, and her 30,000 friends on Facebook.
She said she was asked questions on Saturday like how do you get a daughter, a spouse or a "significant other" to become interested in the outdoors
Some people may just like to walk along with the hunter, or they may want to photograph the hunt, she suggested.
Whatever the case may be, the show on Saturday drew a good crowd of almost 1,500 visitors who were able to hear from experts like Kirk McKendree, who specializes in hunting predators like coyotes, bobcats, the red and grey fox, bear and the mountain lion.
Listening to McKendree, it became apparent that there is a lot of knowledge, skill and preparation necessary to properly bag predator animals. He called the coyote "stealthy," the bobcat "solitary," the red fox "timid," and the grey fox "gutsy" - the point being it takes different techniques to confront each of these animals.
Shirley Grenoble, a member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and Peter Fiduccia, the "Deer Doctor," and host of the "Woods N' Water" TV series, will make presentations today as the Hunting and Fishing Show continues.
The visitors also have a large number of exhibits to view.
They can examine rifles, knives and hunting gear. They can talk about conservation.
Two members of the Clearfield Creek Watershed Association, Ray Hollern of Loretto and Ed McMullen of Gallitzin, were on hand to talk about their efforts to restore the watershed that follows Route 53 that includes 393 square miles in Cambria and Clearfield Counties. The group has helped build settlement ponds and other projects to restore the watershed damaged by deep-mine acid drainage.
Mike Culp of Duncansville, among several representatives of the Allegheny Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, showed an album of photos of the group's restoration of barren ground by planting trees and grass. Those areas have become havens for turkey and other wildlife.
Both groups work with children.
Two local kennels, Larke Lab Kennels, owned by Larry and Linda Mock of Williamsburg, and Barnes Puppy Love Kennels, owned by Dave Barnes of Roaring Spring, brought several dogs to the Convention Center and demonstrated their hunting skills.
Mostly the day was just strolling through the exhibits, listening to experts and watching the dogs.
"I'm a sportsman. ... I hunt, fish, do everything, said Tom Detwiler of Williamsburg, explaining why he was at the show.
He brought a friend, Matt Forshey, who said he loves the outdoors.
"I like everything about it," he said.
Don Sheldon of Ebensburg likes to fish, but he and his wife Jeanine came to the show because of their son, Tyler, 7.
When talking about his son, Don Sheldon got a smile on his face, noting proudly, "He caught a 21-inch bass last summer on his own."
His son, he said, is hooked on fishing even at his young age.
