Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office detectives are questioning the mother of a 15-month-old boy and her boyfriend after the woman's son was found dead in their Metairie apartment Friday morning (Feb. 21). The Jefferson Parish coroner's office ruled the case a homicide after finding that Samej Batiste died from blunt force trauma and internal injuries, according to Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
No one has been arrested in the case as of early Friday evening. (See update.) Deputies and paramedics were dispatched to 317 N. Laurel St., Metairie, about 7:17 a.m. after Alencia Batiste, 27, called 911 to report that Samej was not breathing, Fortunato said.
Paramedics arrived to give aid, but the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives were also dispatched to the apartment, which was occupied by Batiste's boyfriend, Troy Kelly, 27, and five children, ages 1 to 6, Fortunato said.
The coroner's office classified the boy's death a homicide after an autopsy. Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich went to the apartment Friday morning with investigators. The toddler suffered "multiple blunt force trauma to the torso, abdomen and head," he said.
Samej had no external bleeding. But he did have several visible bruises and a large amount of internal bleeding, according to Cvitanovich. "It was very, very tragic," he said.
Batiste and Kelly were being questioned Friday evening at the Sheriff's Office investigations bureau in Harvey.
The family's home is an apartment on a street of roughly 10 identical apartment buildings. On the slightly cold and clear evening after authorities ruled the death of Samej Batiste a homicide, children were playing in the streets as adults looked on and talked about the sad events of the day.
"I'm still in shock," said Michelle Mitchell, longtime resident of the block and friend of the Batiste family. "I just found out about it after work."

view more less of this review
The considerable charm of the performers nearly overcomes the extended length of the piece, still in development, that is over-long, scatter-shot in subject matter, scatalogical, and filled with unnecesary swearing. In trying to be topical, the piece occasionally treads into areas extraneous to the plot. The Africa sequence is long and boring. The gay text belongs in some other play. There is a "kitchen sink" quality to the writing. Get as much in as possible and see what works. The performers do not know their lines or blocking(!) and read from teleprompters. Still, a life time of memories from a man who is perpetually in trouble with the law (and his psychiatrist), and a conniving woman who also has a connundrum of memories to overcome brings two characters together in an often touching, sometimes amusing amalgam of farce and drama. Somewhere down the line it may be worth performing to a paying audience, but such is not currently the case. Also, the performers have gone to no trouble to dress in character. Or at all. 7-26-10.

Written by Joe Bologna and Richard Krevolin
Writer/actor Joe Bologna stars as Frankie and also plays all the male characters in Ginna's life. Mr. Bologna's wife — stage, screen and TV star Renee Taylor (best-known for playing Fran Drescher's outspoken mother on the hit TV series The Nanny) — stars as Ginna and also plays all the female characters in Frankie's life.
The return show has been revised in preparation for a national tour. If you saw it the first time around, see it again and experience the many revisions that have been made. If you missed it, you now have a chance to see these two fine actors perform.

There was a wide spectrum of experts – from hackers to security communities – at the annual Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, concluding last week. The conference always provides a great perspective on the state of security today through technical briefings and hacking workshops, led by the premier minds in the field.
While Apple and Android's models are working fairly well for the user communities they are targeting, it's clear that there continue to be significant vulnerabilities in enterprise mobile app development. Developing secure mobile apps that protect companies from external threats and ensure that data privacy, security and regulatory demands are met is not an easy task.
The plane of vulnerability across corporate data extends significantly as soon as you include mobile in your portfolio. One of the most critical threats to enterprises comes from within – the mishandling and misappropriation of sensitive corporate data by employees. While Apple and Android continue to provide valuable tools and processes to help with security, it is ultimately up to the designers and developers of the apps and supporting infrastructure to understand, appreciate and code to the security and compliance standards set forth by the community at large.
In this slideshow, Robert McCarthy, technical advisor at Mobiquity, outlines five takeaways from this year's Black Hat 2015, particularly focusing on the differences in Apple and Android's security models – and how you should address them.

Taiwan bans whale shark trade by 2008
For the past 10 years, Taiwan has been actively fishing whale sharks for their meat, often served in restaurants as "Tofu Shark." "In 1995, according to records, Taiwan caught 270 whale sharks. In 2001…about 100," said Zhuang Shouzheng, an associate professor at National Taiwan Ocean University. The numbers of whale sharks have significantly dwindled in recent years, causing the Taiwanese Fisheries Ministry to impose quotas, which were set at 60 and 30 in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
Beginning in 2008, Taiwan will enact a total ban on the trade of whale sharks and whale shark meat. A number of conservation groups have been working in the area for years to stop the killing of whale sharks, and this decision by the Taiwanese government is hailed as a major step towards achieving this objective.

Stephen Frink tests the Canon 16-35mm II
With Canon's recent release of a redesigned 16-35mm lens that promised sharper corners, a lot of discussion has focused on comparisons between the new and old versions of the lens, and the combinations of ports and extensions for the best results. Professional underwater photographer and Wetpixel member Stephen Frink obtained a copy of the 16-35mm II to test underwater using a Seacam housing and ports.
Based on his results, compared to Canon's 16-35mm I, 17-40mm, and 15mm fisheye, the 16-35mm II has much better color and contrast…[and] is very sharp in the center. To view images from each lens, continue to Frink's Canon 16-35mm II results, or add your own impressions in the ongoing thread...
2007 Asian Dive Exposition (ADEX) in Bangkok
This year's ADEX was held at a new venue called BITEC which is 22km away from Bangkok city center. Braving the infamously terrible traffic in Bangkok, Wetpixel moderator 'Khun' Drew Wong was there to report for Wetpixel what was formerly Asia's largest dive expositions.
By far the biggest exhibitor was PADI…ADEX is also the place where many new dive resorts and liveaboards market their products. The most surprising one that I found was the booth for Christmas Island, an Australian destination known for the great red crab migration…

Having rash on body, black and blue itchy spots on legs, arms. What could it be?
I went to the dermatlagist for a rash that was on my arms and stomach a few weeks ago, at that point I had the rash for over three weeks. The doctor said that it was a pollen rash, I used the cream she prescribed and then stoped and my friend mentioned that my rash looks like scabies. I got very nervous and started googling scaboes and my rash is present in all the areas that scabies is. I do not know anyone with scabies and no one in my family has it. I am also getting black and blues on my legs and arms that are itchy.

Brett and Crystal Vey's annual Christmas concert in aid of a community charity was devoted to a more personal cause this year — a 16-month-old boy who needs a bone marrow transplant.
For the past 10 years, the owners of the MusicBox, a Kelligrews music school, have donated the proceeds of their annual Christmas event to the Conception Bay South food bank.
However, this year, they felt that they would help their friends Curtis and Melissa Slade and raise money for the Slade's son Jaxson, who has leukemia and has to travel to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children for a bone marrow transplant.
Jaxson was born with four holes in his heart. Then his family discovered he has acute myeloid leukemia.
He is currently undergoing treatment at the Janeway before the transplant scheduled for the end of January. Jaxson's Toronto hospital stay is expected to last for at least six to eight weeks.
The MusicBox's event is just one of the various local fundraising efforts for the young family's expenses while they stay with their child during the treatment to fight his leukemia.
The MusicBox's annual "Evening of Christmas and Skits" was held Dec. 3 at the Kelligrews Kiwanis Club and this year the many performers were delighted to perform to help Jaxson and his family, which also includes a three-year-old brother.
The event featured a variety of music, skits and jokes performed by local talent — some students of the MusicBox — as well as the professionals. And of course no Christmas event is complete without a visit from Santa, who delighted young and old.
Fred Vey was the host for this family-oriented event, which also included performances by the Christmas Band, which includes Brett Vey, Lucas Dwyer, Colin Perry, Andrew Pike, Crystal Vey and Christine Young.
The MusicBox's musical theatre group — Emma Bastow, Cady Cumby and Noelle Kavanagh — also performed, and the event featured the talent of Beth Sparkes Dawe, Jordan Coaker, Rosanne Dunn, Corey Reynolds, Samantha Rideout and Jack Vey.
To help the MusicBox raise money for the Slades, several local businesses and individuals donated goods and services for ticket prizes during the event. Winners went home with jewelry from Unique Designs, a Christmas centrepiece donated by Cavell Vey, gift certificate from Pronto Pizza, a $200 gift card from Rona and music lessons from The MusicBox.
The MusicBox is still accepting donations for Jaxson and his family. Anyone wishing to assist with the family's expenses can call Brett
or Crystal at 744-2080, or visit their website www.musicboxstudio.com for further information.
Stories like this one about Jaxson are reminders that Christmas is not always picture perfect for some families and individuals. Like the Slade family, who have a sick child and are worrying about travelling to Toronto, there are others in similar or worse circumstances. So, Christmas can be a difficult and emotional time.
It will certainly be a difficult Christmas for the family of young Riley Mercer, the 15-year-old C.B.S boy who died last week from a rare cancer that also took the life of his sister when she was nine.
Riley's story brought the community and perhaps the whole province together.
Losing a child or loved one at any time of the year is tragic, but to lose one at this time of year is more trying because Christmas is supposed to be a time to celebrate and be with family and friends.
As you prepare for Christmas, remember those dealing with illness and loss, and those who may need a friend or visit during the upcoming holiday season.
Joan Butler is a lifelong resident
of Kelligrews, Conception Bay South.

Forbes Graham: Magenta Haze
Then again, a sterling tone like Louis Armstrong's, a sense of stride and a sidewinder sleekness position him to do so. He brings spot-on timing, inherited from his key precursor, Don Cherry, into the icy age of post jazzand swings, too, situated comfortably within the classic idiom.
It is a prismatic phenomenon, his playing. Shades and tints channel through his trumpet, an ever-shifting panoplynot so much of influence, as inflection and deflection.
Jan. 6, 2008: The feature, a small venue in Cambridge, Mass., a tenor saxophonist from Chicago. He had a big, glittering sound, so big he didn't always know what to do with it. The pianist that night engaged him in some excellent free- form dialogues, and these were highs.
It was Graham, with his style of staccato stuttering and rabbit punches, who got the ensemble out of ruts and corners, tethering the tenor, and tempering the tone overall. This is a trademark scenario.
Another night, in a gallery above a subway station in Jamaica Plain, Boston: Dave Gross' all-free large ensemble, Grizzler, struggling to catch a groove. Discordant drama came and went, as the musicians found common entry points into the abstract flow but nothing coalesced. Suddenly, Graham's trumpet, lifted high, shouted out a soulful held blue note, coming up and down in gold cadences leading the band with a spirit or spell he was later to call "magenta haze."
Sterling, gold, blue, magentathe prism. Graham has vision and a deft grip on structure and synchronicity, skills acquired through 24 years of practice, beginning with lessons at age nine and through his junior high school ensemble, where he crystallized his vision by way of Bach chorales.
"These taught me the disciplines of listening and staying in tune in the midst of complex polyphony," he said. "I learned balance."
Later he found a counterpart to Bach in The Birth of the Cool (Blue Note, 1957), still his favorite Miles Davis record.
The jazz beacons he's played with include Darius Jones, Raqib Hassan and Wadada Leo Smith. The list could be rolled out like a red carpet. He has appeared on close to 40 recordings. Rarely has he presumed to lead, however, adopting the role of game saver instead.
But this is changing: he is poised to make a mark as a leader. A new CD with percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, Essences (Blaq Lightn, 2010), signals a new boldness; and two new groups, Wild May (centered in Boston) and Violetville (Brooklyn), foreshadow an imminent, inevitable tumble into the limelight.
All About Jazz: What was your childhood like? Your family? Did your parents play instruments? Listen to jazz?
Forbes Graham: My childhood was pretty typical middle-class suburbs. I'm from Silver Springs, Md., which is right outside of Washington, D.C. Our lifestyle wasn't exciting. I didn't get everything I wanted materially but I had more than enough of what I needed. My mother is a retired teacher and my father is retired from law enforcement. My stepfather is retired, too. He had some sort of office job. I come from a family of a lot of teachers. Both my parents were born in D.C., but my mom spent her early childhood in Philadelphia. My parents don't play music. When I was a kid in the house, I heard singers like Lionel Richie and Jeffrey Osbourne (who is still a big favorite of mine).
My dad used to listen to jazz when he was younger but as he got older he kind of went in more of the smooth jazz direction. But it turned out he had some cool records lying around, for example High Blues Pressure (Atlantic, 1967), by Freddie Hubbard. My parents definitely encouraged me to do whatever I wanted, interest-wise.
AAJ: What happened later?
FG: You know, I'm not sure if things have really clicked for me yet. I'm still working on the instrument. But I do have the certainty that I'm going to be true to myself. That happened quite a while ago, but overall, it's a process.
AAJ: How are your audiences?

Rutgers announced Friday that Saturday's home football game against No. 24-ranked West Virginia is sold out -- the second sellout of the seven-game home season for the Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers (8-3 overall, 3-3 Big East) and West Virginia (8-3 overall, 4-2 Big East) meet in a noon start on ESPN in the regular-season finale for both schools.
In the eight-team Big East, Rutgers ranks fourth in average home attendance at 48,542. West Virginia (57,317), South Florida (52,553) and Pittsburgh (51,789) are ahead of the Scarlet Knights in average home attendance.

Most people file for bankruptcy in order to get out from an overload of debt. This is accomplished through the bankruptcy discharge: a court order, issued at the end of the bankruptcy case, that discharges (erases) most or all of the filer's debts.
But not all debts can be discharged in bankruptcy. The debts you can discharge depends on the type of bankruptcy you file, whether you engaged in fraud, and in some cases (like with credit card purchases for luxury goods), when you incurred the debt.

Required to have personal respirators, both Cappanno and Williams were equipped with them and they do not appear to have malfunctioned.
The investigation is ongoing.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez issued a statement late Sunday.
"An apparent explosives accident claimed the lives of two Colorado gold miners today, and sent other miners to the hospital. I offer my heartfelt condolences and prayers for the families of the victims and the injured. I was moved by the efforts of the first responders within the mining community–especially the mine rescue teams that were dispatched so quickly in the wake of the accident. The Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration is committed to conducting a thorough investigation of this tragedy to determine its exact cause," said Perez.

1st August 2011, 05:25 AM
Hello! I work at a summer camp in Idaho, USA. We have windsurf boards from Starboard, and masts, sails, and other parts from other companies. I am trying to locate the manufacturer of the mastfoots (mastfeet?) for the windsurf boards because I need to replace three broken ones. The masts say something that looks like "ERBON" or "RBON" or something for the brand name, and "Made in France," as well as some sizes like 22,5 (22.5) and 4,60 (4.60). Do you know what brand name this is? I'm assuming that Starboard contracts with other companies for other parts of windsurf boards.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Bargaining Breaks Down
Talks between General Motors and the United Auto Workers hit a big stumbling block yesterday. The two sides came to an impasse over how many billions GM would give the union to take over healthcare benefits for its retirees. Since the start of talks, GM has wanted to give the union 50% to 60% of the $50 billion long-term healthcare liability, or $25 billion to $30 billion. The UAW wants at least 70 cents on the dollar, which is at least $35 billion. Bloomberg first reported the breakdown in talks over the so-called Voluntary Employee Benefits Association, or VEBA trust, yesterday. If they come to a deal, the union would hire investors and administrators to take over healthcare benefits, managing it the way companies and unions run a pension fund. The two sides made progress early in the week and narrowed the gap, says one source close to talks, but they can't quite come to a deal.
There are two ways to interpret the breakdown at the bargaining table. First is that this is just the usual ebb and flow of labor talks. Both sides say they won't budge so they can extract the best deal possible. It's called bargaining. This could go on for days until someone decides to move. The other possibility is that each side really does need a better deal than the other can offer. UAW President Ronald Gettelfinger may simply not believe that he can keep a VEBA fund flush without having to cut his own members' medical benefits someday soon without more than $35 billion. He also might need that sum just to get his members to ratify the contract. Conversely, GM has $15 billion set aside for VEBA and raised another $5 billion selling Allison Transmission. That means the company needs to get another $10 billion to $15 billion—depending on what funding level the two sides agreed upon—from its own cash hoard, taking on more debt or issuing stock. In other words, GM may really have hit a limit on how much horse trading it will do to make Gettelfinger comfortable. That's a real impasse. And for both sides, it would be a giant missed opportunity.
My guess? There certainly are big disagreements over the size of a VEBA trust. But there's also a bit of posturing and theater going on. The two sides have one shot to get this deal done and the stakes are high. If GM Chairman Rick Wagoner comes away from the table without a VEBA, Wall Street will drop the stock. It's up about 12% this month just on the possibility of a VEBA. Wagoner also needs this to cut healthcare costs, which are his biggest cost bogey. If the union gets too tough about the size of the fund and doesn't go through with it, Wagoner will start investing elsewhere. GM has 73,000 U.S. hourly workers, two-thirds of whom can retire in five years. As they retire, GM could start cutting production here and sending it to Mexico, China and points yon. In other words, they both have each other by the throat. And they know it.

Two arrested for stealing lawn equipment - Owner sees it all, follows and confronts suspects; More burglaries & thefts reported
Two were arrested after stealing a lawn edger from a trailer, while being observed by the owner of the property, who then followed them to a pawn shop to confront them, at which time they ran, according to Paris PD Public Information Officer Curtis Garrett.
23-year-old, Aaron Michael Moreno, and 21-year-old, Courtney Jill Hampton, both of Paris, were arrested upon an investigation, where it was reported to the Paris Police Department that they had been observed taking a lawn edger from a trailer in the 10 block of SE 16th St.
The owner of the property followed Moreno and Hampton to a pawn shop and confronted them about the property. Both then fled the scene, but were located a short time later and placed under arrest for the theft.
Upon further investigation, it was found that both, Moreno and Hampton, had at least two prior theft convictions and each of their charges were enhanced to felonies.
Also reported to Paris Police were one burglary of a residence, two burglaries of vehicles, and two thefts.
On Wednesday, March 20, Paris Police responded to 110 calls for service and arrested 4 persons.

Thousands turn out for Arlington's Hometown Halloween
ARLINGTON — Pirates and zombies made their debut at Arlington's "Hometown Halloween" this year, but they were joined by plenty of familiar favorites.
Karen Ricketts noted that Arlington Hardware conducted its 20th annual pumpkin-carving contest on Oct. 29, a tradition that began with a pumpkin weigh-in during its first year.
"Our winner for that year weighed 264 pounds," Ricketts said. "We had 60 people entering pumpkins this year, which is about what we usually get. The weather didn't hold anybody back," she added, noting the day's sunny skies.
Pastor Chad Blood and his family dressed up as the characters from "Tron Legacy," but they hardly had the most elaborately decorated vehicle at the Lifeway Foursquare Church "Trunk or Treat" in the city of Arlington parking lot, as Wayne, Megan and Kathryn Dobbs donned costumes and outfitted a truck trailer with straw to recreate the Biblical story of Daniel in the den of lions.
Also in attendance were "The Pirates of Treasure Island," who not only joined the Arlington Kiwanis Club in collecting food and financial donations for the Arlington Food Bank, as well as an estimated 200 pairs of shoes for Kids' Kloset, but also judged the all-ages costume contest which followed the trick-or-treating on Olympic Avenue.
"This is difficult," said Tony Thompson, a.k.a. "Captain Redbeard," as he sized up close to 100 contestants based on style and originality. "There are a lot of really good costumes here."
Eli Todd took first place in the ages 9-12 category for gluing a beard to his face, covering himself in copper-colored paint and affixing a cardboard disc on one shoulder to pose as an Abraham Lincoln penny, while Lellie Davis took third in that same category for transforming herself into a bag of jelly beans using a bunch of multicolored balloons. Moms Marcy Todd and Lorinda Davis admitted that they burned the midnight oil helping their kids put together their outfits.
"I also loved how dog-friendly the Hometown Halloween was this year," said Lorinda Davis, who escorted her children and their pets up and down the sidewalks that day. "They got plenty of treats too. The pirate music added a lot to it as well, I think."
DABA President Debora Nelson estimated that at least 700 kids filled their bags with candy from participating merchants, adding up to more than 2,000 visitors to downtown Arlington when parents and other adult relatives are included.
"It's neat to see everyone participate," Nelson said. "This year, the efforts of all the groups in the city culminated very well."
Nelson credited this year's turnout to advertising throughout the preceding week on KVOS TV, positive word-of-mouth and Hometown Halloween's status as a town tradition.
"People expect Arlington to provide family fun," Nelson said. "Even folks from others towns come here because they know what they'll experience here in Arlington."
Perhaps the only aspect of this year's activities that wasn't an improvement on last year's Hometown Halloween was Lifeway's pumpkin roll down the First Street hill, which saw few of its pumpkins make it all the way down the hill in the early rounds.
"I could swear those pumpkins rolled better last year," Blood laughed, even as he thanked Foster's Farm for donating 40 pumpkins to this year's event.
Of those who managed to get their pumpkins in the baskets, Lisa Wild, 10, and Rebecca Favor, 13, cited their bowling experience, while Kimberly Luna, 11, and David Sotero, 12, simply pitched theirs as hard and fast as they could.
Downtown Arlington's activities wrapped up that afternoon with the town's first "Zombie Walk," during which close to 40 shambling ghouls raised more than $400 for art supplies for local middle and high school-aged young people, by lurching down Olympic Avenue toward Legion Park.
"After I met a student in my gallery one day who was unable to do her art at home because she couldn't afford the supplies, I decided to try and do something about it," said Claire Cundiff, owner of Fogdog Gallery, who fully expects the undead to return to downtown Arlington for next year's Hometown Halloween.

Financial Services
The financial services industry is the fourth largest sector of the Australian economy, accounting for more than 8 per cent of GDP. Its relative global strength has been underpinned by a resilient economy; sophisticated, deep and liquid financial markets; a world-leading regulatory system; compulsory superannuation savings; a highly skilled workforce and strong business infrastructure.
The role of the financial services sector is to facilitate the productive flow of funds between sectors, companies and people. Broadly speaking, the sector can be broken down into the following categories:
- corporate finance and wholesale banking (the 'deal makers')
- financial markets (the 'traders')
- managed funds and superannuation (the 'asset managers')
- retail banking and private wealth management (the financial advisors).
The work
The strength of the financial services industry makes it a leading employer in Australia, employing nearly 400,000 people. Key employers include financial institutions, international and national investment banks, asset and fund managers and regional banks. There are also opportunities in specialist divisions in retail banking, financial markets, financial planning and other financial solutions providers.
The diversity of the financial services industry and the size and complexity of many of its institutions mean that there is an extraordinarily varied range of career paths available to graduates entering this industry. The global nature of financial services also means there is significant potential for overseas work or secondment offshore.
Kickstarting your financial services career
To give your financial services career a competitive edge, it's important to start building your industry networks and knowledge as soon as possible. By becoming a member of a professional industry body like Finsia (the Financial Services Institute of Australasia) you'll have immediate and privileged access to valuable member resources, career advice and mentoring services, powerful industry networks and thought-leading programs.

Up on stage, 12-year-old actor Uriah Shelton hip-hopped and lip-synched to a pre-recorded track of his own voice performing the¤'80s dance hit "Our House."
Out in the audience, director Lexi Alexander called for another take.
And over at the judges' table, country singer Trace Adkins pretended to be mildly irritated.
"I can't work with these people," Adkins said in his well-deep voice. "Could we please get a professional on the set?"
Uriah, Alexander and Adkins were among a small army of actors and film crew members who took over UAB's Alys Stephens Center on Tuesday as they raced to finish shooting the independent film "Lifted."
The picture, about a small-town boy who comes to Birmingham to compete in an "American Idol"-styled singing contest, is the first made-in-Alabama movie to take advantage of the state's new film industry incentives.
The incentives, approved in the spring, offer filmmakers rebates on salaries paid to state residents and money spent here.
For director Alexander, actor Dash Mihok and producers Alan Hunter and Hugh Hunter of Birmingham's Hunter Films, "Lifted" is like a family reunion.
Seven years ago, the four worked together on "Johnny Flynton," another made-in-Birmingham film that went on to earn an Academy Award nomination for best short film.
After an unpleasant experience directing the big-budget movie "Punisher: War Zone," the German-born Alexander said she wanted to come back to Birmingham to recreate that "Johnny Flynton" magic.
"It was a time where I thought maybe I needed to go back to my roots," Alexander said. "My roots in successful filmmaking, those belong to Alabama."
With a budget of about $625,000, Alan Hunter said, the filmmakers have taken advantage of every ounce of generosity Birmingham has to offer.
For example, CraneWorks donated the use of a lift and a truck, and Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Hale made his deputies available to direct traffic and shut down streets.
Home-grown crew
Seventy-percent of the crew is from Alabama, Hunter said, from director of photography David Bower and makeup artist Linda Thacker to dozens of others behind the scenes.
"When you're shooting a smaller-budget film, you need everybody to chip in any way they can and not complain, and that's the vibe down here," said Mihok, who starred in "Johnny Flynton" and plays the military father of the child hero in "Lifted." "Everybody is giving everything they can."
Alabama is well-represented onscreen, as well.
Hunter, a former MTV veejay, stars as himself and hosts the statewide "Alabama Teen Starquest," and Birmingham guitar prodigy Todd Simpson plays one of the contestants.
Tone-deaf Ruben?
Ruben Studdard, the velvet-voiced former "American Idol" winner, plays Pastor Johnson, who encourages the movie's star along his way to the finals of the singing competition.
"Pastor Johnson, funny enough, can't sing too well," Hunter said. "It's kind of a joke. Ruben got a kick out of that, as well."
Uriah, a native of Magnolia Springs in Baldwin County who now lives in Hollywood, took a roundabout way of getting back to his home state.
In a stroke of serendipity, Alexander cast Uriah for the lead in "Lifted" at a screen test in LA just a couple of weeks before the film went into production.
"I'm a little boy from small-town Alabama," Uriah said between takes Tuesday. "This is just the most amazing thing that could happen to me."

First of all, women's coach Pat Summitt and her staff has vowed to repay Bruce Pearl for his body-painting and cheerleading. Summitt has hinted she will use her experience as a middle-school cheerleader. Interesting.
And then there's the interesting, accidental comments from Dickie V in a radio interview this week. Dickie V didn't know he was on air and let slip some comments about Florida. He said, in passing to friends at a restaurant but in a conversation that was caught on the telephone for the radio interview, that Billy Donovan said there was no way Joakim Noah should be taken ahead of Al Horford in the NBA Draft. Then later, he tried to take back those comments and said it was a joke, that he was just joking with some friends. Right. Oops. Should be interesting hearing Dickie V backpedal from those comments tonight.
Click here for the story in the Knoxville News and on the right-hand side of the page are links to the audio of the interview and the flub. You decide for youself.

We visited Tunisia last week, during a scorching heat wave. The women we met were wearing sleeveless summer dresses, but a couple of them said that when they go out, their neighbors now tell them off for wearing revealing clothes. With the religious Nahda party now in power, uncovered women worry that their daughters won't be able to wear bikinis and wonder which countries their daughters can move to if things get worse.
Anya Schiffrin
Tunisia's spring
It turns out that starting a revolution in the age of social media is a full time occupation. After bringing down their government, launching dozens of new television and radio stations and about 70 new political parties and posting endless leaked documents on Facebook all the while working on rewriting their constitution, many Tunisians are now busy speaking at conferences, answering questions from journalists and politely agreeing to meet the endless flood of people coming to their country to learn more about the revolution.

On the other hand, making plugins for the non-hosted downloadable weblogs (i.e. wordpress, etc.) is a very easy road. Start there and let the hosted weblogs pick it up from there. (while I'm typing this, I realise that I don't know if it's possible to write plugins for the hosted weblogs, I'm assuming not). Personally I wouldn't do any hacking directly into database tables, or core files. (okay, I did and found out the hard way it's not the way to go ;) Make proper reusable/extendable plugins instead. Or be a geo evangelist in the community, they might pick it up. In the Serendipity community somebody was actually asking for plugin that he would then hack :) Btw, you can find the Serendipity geotag plugin (and gmap interface) here: http://www.kovacevic.nl/blog/archives/176-Serendipity-Geotag-plugin.html With the right examples it is not much work. -- zoran

This is my first POWER RANKINGS of the year. The order of teams and comments about them are purely my opinions only.
I had to factor in the teams' records from last season and factor in the moves they've made this offseason in order to improve. This ranking is meant to start arguments, not end them.

DETROIT (3/28/2013) -- They practice together, eat together, are roommates and even shared a twitter account, but for two holes on March 6, it was the two of them grinding it out for medalist honors at the Magnolia Spring Break Classic as juniors Lindsey Lammers and Christina Thorne headed to a playoff to determine a champion.
"It was a little weird because we are not really used to playing against each other," said Lammers. "We get to play against each other in practice, but this was a different feeling because of what was on the line."
"Playing against your best friend was a lot of fun," said Thorne. "We really were cheering for each other and I felt it was a win-win situation either way."
The match-up featured Lammers - All-Horizon League last season and the 2012 HL medalist who already had four wins under her belt - and Thorne, the most consistent golfer the Titans have had all season. Both players opened with the two best rounds of the event as Lammers posted a 1-over 73 to take a one-stroke lead over Thorne's 74.
The second round was where it got interesting as both were neck-and-neck throughout the last 18. In fact, the pair of Titans were the only players to record scores in the 70's in both rounds and when the 36th and final hole of the event was complete, Thorne had carded a 78 in day two to force a playoff.
"We didn't know that we were tied until we saw the scores go up at the scorer's table and we saw that we had No. 1's next to both of our names," stated Thorne.
It might have been hard to look over and not send a smile the other way, but the golfers were on their game on the first hole, a 457-yard Par 5. After both hit great drives, they were able to reach the green in three and sink a birdie putt to force another playoff hole.
"We just wanted to go out there and have fun and play our best," said Lammers. "I was cheering for her."
"It was awesome and a good time," said senior teammate Collette Hansen. "We were rooting for both of them and seeing how it turns out. I would have loved to see them go 18 more and still be tied."
The second hole was a 362-yard Par 4 and once again, a pair of great drives started the competition and both were able to land on the green in two. Lammers went first for the birdie and nailed a 10-foot putt, leaving Thorne about the same distance, but she was not able to convert.
"I was happy with the way I played and I don't feel like I beat myself. I got beat by a great player and there is no shame in that," said Thorne.
"You feel bad that someone had to lose, but it was great golf," said head coach Terri Anthony-Ryan. "Christina played great that day, and with them going to a second playoff hole after a birdie on the first, it showed you that both wanted it and what great competitors they are."
Thorne would extract some revenge on her roommate just a few days later as she finished four strokes ahead of Lammers to win the 3rd Annual Sunshine Spring Break Classic, her first collegiate title.
The win was the fourth on the year by a Titan and helped Detroit win its fourth-straight event and the sixth in just seven tournaments on the season.

I'll admit folks, I had an extreme caffeine addiction. I think its when I'm working a lot I end up taking too much to keep me going. I was working 72 hours per week for a while.
But on top of that, I got into going for the sugar free energy drinks instead of the coffee, because they are cold and have a lot less calories in them as opposed to the cream in the coffee.
But then it gets worse. Some drinks have way more caffeine in them. Now days in my area, they sell them in larger bottles and give 2 for a cheaper price deals. And yes, if you're dumb enough to fall for such marketing strategies, you end up getting hooked big time, and sick as I'll explain.
Yesterday I did an all day fast and went cold turkey on the caffeine as well. I ended up with a headache so bad that I couldn't do anything, and I threw up.
Today I went most of the day without caffeine until I got a headache again. Then I broke and had 2 diet sodas, which is still A LOT less than what I'm normally used to having.
So I guess going 100% cold turkey was almost too hard. But I think I'm doing ok. Tomorrow I'll go without if I can without getting a headache. If not, I'll just have a small cup of coffee or tea or what ever.
One thing I can tell you is why I wanted to quit. It made me mad all the time, wired up all the time, and to the point where I felt like I couldn't relax, was anxious, couldn't sleep, would worry about the stupidest things, and so on. And that's saying a lot for a guy who's naturally happy go lucky!!! I felt like crap. I tried exercising more often, but that only helped so much.
But now after my first day off, I feel A LOT better, even though I had the headache. Mentally I felt much better, much more relaxed, excited about life, happy go lucky (normal) again.
So anyways, here's the thing. I hear a lot that caffeine is good for you. But that depends on how much you drink. In some countries they drink a lot of tea, and that's probably a healthy amount. In the old days, in the USA, a few cups of coffee seemed normal, and it probably was.
But as I see it, in highly industrialized societies where people are pressured to keep on going, too much caffein consumption seems normal. Also, the marketing for such products is top notch.
So to sum up my post, I am very happy with the decision I made. I feel A LOT better. A little bit of caffeine is ok and possibly even good for you. But don't let what happened to me happen to you. It's not a good experience.
And if you do happen to drink a lot of caffeinated drinks or what ever, I'd highly recommend having a good thought about it and thinking about cutting down greatly. You'll feel a lot better.
Pretty much what I'm trying to do now is to cut down to zero for a while, then just have a little bit of tea or coffee in the morning or before my workouts, but thats it. Obviously I'm ending up going gradual, but so far I think I'm doing good.

The Montgomery, Alabama-based, civil rights nonprofit surveyed 500 Latinos in five communities, including more than 100 people in Alabama. Respondents included legal residents, illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens.
Findings include:
Nearly 50 percent of respondents knew someone who had been treated unfairly by police.
77 percent of the women who responded said sexual harassment was a major workplace problem.
41 percent surveyed had not been paid for work, a figure that climbed to 80 percent in New Orleans.
Two-thirds of respondents said they had been made to feel unwelcome by others in the community, while 68 percent said they encountered on a regular basis what they perceived as racism -- from "looks" to physical abuse.
46 percent of those reporting a court experience said there was no interpreter.
The report, "Under Siege: Life for Low-Income Latinos in the South," called north Alabama an example of how local laws erode Latinos' trust in law enforcement.
In Alabama, 55 percent of respondents said there are police checkpoints where they live. Municipalities in the region have ordinances that allow law enforcement to impound vehicles when a driver cannot prove his or her legal status.
"Road blocks are set up in a way where particular communities are targeted so people feel like they can't even leave the house," said Mary Bauer, the director of SPLC's Immigrant Justice Project and the author of the report.
The report details cases that include police jailing a Tennessee mother when she asked to be paid for her work in a cheese factory, police in Alabama confiscating a migrant bean picker's life savings during a traffic stop, and a rapist in Georgia going unpunished when the 13-year-old victim's family was afraid to report the crime because she was in the country illegally.
"So long as we have this kind of large underclass living in the shadows, this kind of abuse will flourish," Bauer said.
SPLC researchers in the state interviewed people in Hoover, Birmingham, Huntsville, Florence, Russellville and Albertville. They also surveyed people in Nashville, Charlotte, New Orleans and rural southern Georgia.

Syracuse, NY — Betty Munro was a downtown landmark.
I remember seeing her out and about, her easel set in a good spot to capture the scene she had in mind. When she painted the step-by-step construction of Mulroy Civic Center, 1974 to 1975, she put on a hard hat every morning to record the work in progress. She ended that project with a series of 27 watercolors.
"I had to sign a release in case anything fell on my head," she later explained.
Betty's retired now. She's 91 and lives in Madison, Wisc., where she grew up. But her work lives on here. It's panorama of more than 200 paintings of local landscapes.
A Munro retrospective opens Nov.19 at The Spring gallery at 200 Brooklea Drive, Fayetteville. All the works are for sale.
Patsy Scala, program director of The Spring, said the 27 Civic Center paintings will be shown, and sold, as a unit in the gallery's Conference Room. Others, including 40 framed watercolors, will be displayed in the Spring's Gathering Room. Remaining pieces will be exhibited in plastic sleeves in racks.
In a 1994 newspaper interview, Betty said she considered the Civic Center paintings "one continuous watercolor" and would not sell individual pictures. "It would be like separating a family," she explained.
Betty Munro moved to Syracuse with her husband, John, an attorney, from Highland, Ill. in 1966. The Munro family had lived in Camillus area since 1790.
Betty arrived here a skilled watercolorist. She'd become head of the art department at Highland Park High School, but found little time to prepare for oil painting.
Instead, she turned to watercolors, which she considered "more fun. You never know what's going to happen when you start painting," she once said in an interview. "It was something I could do in two or three hours."
Prior to moving to Syracuse, she'd never tackled urban landscapes. She toured downtown and decided "I can't wait to paint these beautiful buildings." She considered downtown her personal "studio."
When the weather was pleasant, she painted outdoors. During the winter, she was "inside looking out." She painted Hanover Square from the third floor of the State Tower Building. She went to the 16th floor of a bank building on the square to get a view of the Gridley Building.
Betty told interviewers she considered her work on the Civic Center construction her major work. Her paintings were on display in the center when it opened, and again during the 10th anniversary of construction.
She was given a commemorative plaque which reads: "Syracuse artist Betty Munro has created what Civic Center architects consider to be a first – an artistic record of the growth and development of a major building complex." A critic praised the works as "as great as any drama that appears on the completed stage."
The artist herself recalled when she arrived at the site on the first day "everyone and everything was moving. I felt a need to record the excitement and action with my brush."
In 1990, the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce published a booklet on Syracuse, illustrated with Betty Munro paintings.
She also painted the ducks at Gifford Zoo, the demolished Yates Hotel, Clinton Square, Columbus Circle, City Hall, Fayetteville and area churches and buildings.
Scala said the exhibit is made possible through the collaboration of Betty's former neighbor, Joan Gardner, David Rudd of Dalton Antiques and Stone Quarry Art Park. Proceeds of the art sales will go to Munro, The Spring and Stone Quarry.
An opening wine and cheese reception will be 5 to 8 p.m., Nov. 19. To learn more, contact Scala at 382-0444.
Dick Case writes Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Contact him at 470-2254 or email@example.com.

Some children learned a hard life lesson this Halloween when trick or treating in a Grosse Pointe Farms neighborhood. The message: even a child's holiday can be ruined by politics.
November 2, 2008: Detroit Free Press: On Friday, [Shirley] Nagel had a sign in her Grosse Pointe Farms yard reading: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters," according to WJBK-TV (Fox2).
When children approached, Nagel quizzed them about their parents' political leanings, [Janette] Fleury said. If they were pro-Obama, Nagel turned them away, she said.
But it didn't stop there. Other neighbors also got involved with the lawnside politicking.
The fire was stoked further when Nagel's next-door neighbor put out a large Obama poster and his own homemade sign promising candy for all.
Nagel told WJBK-TV that "Obama's scary." When asked about children who'd been turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh, well. Everybody has a choice."
Unfortunately, the two appeared representative of their respective party's promises. McCain's promises only for "their kind", Barack's promises for everyone, and in the end nobody gets anything except the liars and the thieves.

Baseball never did it for me either. Tennis, golf (Tiger Woods PGA '07 took over that though) and bowling are all about equal favs, and boxing is fun too. It's hard to pick an absolute favorite though.

Definitely bowling for me, it seems to be the game that best uses the wiimote. Every other game seems to be dedicated on timing and just swinging away regardless of the motions, besides boxing of course which seems to be a bit unresponsive.
