UPDATE: 3:30 p.m.
Police are reportedly searching a home in Fairfield in connection with today's incident. West Haven police reportedly contact police in Fairfield after connecting the home to today's suspect.
UPDATE: 2:15 p.m.
A suspect was taken into custody Tuesday following a report of a man near the University of New Haven campus with what appeared to be a rifle, the school said.

After the report came in, the university had urged students and staff to stay inside, and several heavily armed police officers responded to the West Haven school. The university said police were still searching buildings Tuesday afternoon and that people should continue to shelter in place.
The university enrolls about 6,400 students. The majority of its 4,600 undergraduates live in university housing.
Several nearby public schools also put out shelter-in-place orders as a precaution.
No further information was immediately available. Messages left with the public affairs office for the university and West Haven police were not immediately returned.
The incident marks the third scare at a Connecticut university in the last month.
Last week, Yale University in neighboring New Haven was locked down for six hours after a man called police and said somebody was coming to shoot up the campus. Police have said that appeared to be a hoax.
Central Connecticut State University was in lockdown for several hours Nov. 4 after reports by witnesses of a masked man carrying a gun or sword. Police arrested a student, David Kyem, who said he had been wearing a ninja-like Halloween costume and meant no harm. He faces charges including breach of peace.
The shelter in place order for Carrigan Middle School has been lifted.
The University of New Haven and Notre Dame High School in West Haven is still sheltering in place as scene is processed.
Mayor Ed O'Brien tells WFSB that no shots were fired.
A UNH employee reports that police have told employees they can unlock their office doors, but not to leave the building.
A suspect has been taken into custody and a handgun seized at the University of New Haven, according to a public safety source.
Police armed with machine guns had entered Chaplin Hall, a freshmen dorm on the Campbell Avenue side of at the University of New Haven at about 12:35 p.m.
Reports are that an Asian man with a long gun or rifle was seen near the South Campus, and that led University of New Haven officials to put the school in lockdown.
The adjoining Notre Dame High School was also placed in lockdown as a precaution, a school official texted.
Read what they're saying on the scene here.
A UNH employee in South Campus Hall said that she is under her desk and "it's very quiet and eerie. Everyone is locked in their offices and under desks as instructed by police."
A person armed with a rifle, believed to be the same suspect, was also spotted near the ShopRite supermarket near the south entrance to the university.
The campus remains in lockdown as the campus is searched, officials said. They are reportedly searching vehicles for a shotgun or rifle.
This is the third incident involved a report of a gunman on a college campus in Connecticut. A Central Connecticut State University student wearing his ninja-style costume set off a lockdown last month.
A report of a gunman at Yale turned out to be a hoax.
We'll have more details as they become available.

Tigers in Red Weather
Work details
Tigers in Red Weather by Liza Klaussmann
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wasn't impressed with the writing or the characters.
Two female cousins are very close when they are kids. The book follows their relationship into adulthood, including husbands, kids and plenty of associated drama. They definitely aren't as close as the were. An interesting exploration of relationships, the perceptions of privileged people and the thinking of a psychopath. Though, not a thriller, there is a dark edge to it. I really enjoyed meeting all of the characters and exploring their personalities and relationships.

They definitely aren't as close as the were. An interesting exploration of relationships, the perceptions of privileged people and the thinking of a psychopath. Though, not a thriller, there is a dark edge to it. I really enjoyed meeting all of the characters and exploring their personalities and relationships.
I picked this book up partly because of the good reviews but also out of a petty desire to see if the author had gotten her location details right (I live on the Vineyard). I soon realized that the book was so intimately about the family that very little of the world around it mattered much, and that with one trivial exception (she wrote "Vineyard Haven lighthouse" instead of "West Chop light") the smattering of local details were correct. I couldn't really judge the feeling of the society because Edgartown summer people are not my crowd (though I've worked for some of them, briefly).
The book was very well written, but I should have read the description more closely. It's a family saga with a lot of creepiness -- not a genre I normally enjoy. Most of the characters were despicable but vivid and at least partly sympathetic. I stayed up late to finish it because I had to see how it turned out, reading the last 80 pages after my initial attempt at lights out. My mother once said, "I don't like to hear about murders happening here, even if they're in fiction," and I feel the same, but if that doesn't bother you then go ahead and dive in.
This is a tricky one.
None of the characters are particularly sympathetic, and there's no one to really root for--they are their own worst enemies. I certainly couldn't identify with any of them, and I hope not many people would!
The device of having each chapter be from another character's perspective (and jumping around in time, no less) makes the story seem more significant/complex than it is. I think that if the story had been told in straight linear time, with a third-person omniscient narrator, or even in the first person voice that appears at the very end of the book, its flaws would be more apparent.
The men and boys don't come off very well in this one, do they? All but one of the main male characters are philanderers/emotional abusers, and 2 of them are murderers. Then again, the 3 women aren't much better: we have 2 adulterers, one of whom is also an addict; and the women generally do nothing but compete against each other in various ways. The book passes the Bechdel test, but that's not saying much for this one.
I would probably recommend this melodrama to people who liked The Great Gatsby. The only thing it lacked was an illicit pregnancy.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316211338, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, July 2012: It's the end of World War II, and cousins Nick and Helena part ways for the first time. Helena is moving to Hollywood and getting married; Nick goes to Florida with her veteran husband, Hughes. The women soon realize that their lives don't match their dreams, but it takes more than twelve years and their children finding a murder victim to jar them out of their complacency. Liza Klaussmann layers the story with the distinct viewpoints of Nick, her daughter Daisy, Hughes, Helena, and Helena's son Ed. From wartime London in the 1940s to the family beach estate, Tiger House, in the late 1960s, each character brings their own baggage to the story of a family unraveling. Secret fears, desires, and relationships come to light as facades are worn away. The unsolved murder soon becomes just one of many mysteries swirling around the Tiger House, building suspense all the way to the startling conclusion. --Malissa Kent
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:08 -0400)
"Nick and her cousin, Helena, have grown up sharing sultry summer heat, sunbleached boat docks, and midnight gin parties on Martha's Vineyard in a glorious old family estate known as Tiger House. In the days following the end of the Second World War, the world seems to offer itself up, and the two women are on the cusp of their 'real lives': Helena is off to Hollywood and a new marriage, while Nick is heading for a reunion with her own young husband, Hughes, about to return from the war. Soon the gilt begins to crack. Helena's husband is not the man he seemed to be, and Hughes has returned from the war distant, his inner light curtained over. On the brink of the 1960s, back at Tiger House, Nick and Helena--with their children, Daisy and Ed--try to recapture that sense of possibility. But when Daisy and Ed discover the victim of a brutal murder, the intrusion of violence causes everything to unravel. The members of the family spin out of their prescribed orbits, secrets come to light, and nothing about their lives will ever be the same. Brilliantly told from five points of view, with a magical elegance and suspenseful dark longing, Tigers in Red Weather is an unforgettable debut novel from a writer of extraordinary insight and accomplishment"--… (more)

..:: Awards ¦ New England Hall of Fame
Bucky and Doris Donaher began dancing in 1967 with the Lofty Squares, serving as club President from 1969-71. Bucky began his calling career on November 13, 1975 when he called his first dance at Kramer's Hayloft in S. Weymouth, MA. He called there regularly for the next 21 years. Bucky has been the caller for the Buckaroos for the past 28 years and for the Hobomock Hoedowners for 18 years. This year he will have taught his 28th class for the Buckaroos. He has called at all SEMCA dances and at all the New England Conventions since 1976 as well as the National Conventions in Charlotte and Baltimore. Bucky currently serves the Old Colony Callers Association as its President. He has untiringly promoted square dancing at numerous Father/Daughter Banquets and Beginner Nights; and by being interviewed on television for a Manchester, NH station.
Bucky has taught square dancing at public schools in Scituate, Cohasset and Harwich, as well as calling for four years at Harvard University, Curry College and Babson College. He has done countless Fun Nights for churches, Temples, civic groups, and Boy and Girl Scouts, as well as many demonstrations for fairs and nursing homes, often without compensation.
Bucky and Doris epitomize the friendly nature of square dancing to dancers from all walks of life and with varying abilities.

Recent results and new features
Hinault says 'No' to PantaniFive-times Tour de France champion Bernard Hinault who now works as a member of the Tour de France organisation has weighed in to the Tour wildcard selection controversy by explaining the reasons for the non-selction of Marco Pantani and his Mercatone-Uno team. In an interview with the newspaper DerniŹres Nouvelles d'Alsace, Hinault said "Pantani cannot be invited because there was too great a chance of his being disqualified at any time. Not to invite him is the logical decision for us and the Tour. Pantani will not be in the Grand Boucle so that we can favour French riders, but in the interest of the sport."
Ullrich "better than expected", says Pevanage
His symptoms of unusual fatigue had caused Ullrich to consider skipping the Giro, Pevanage said, but the outlook had now improved. "Jan has a really good basic condition. Now he just has to lose a little weight and he'll be flying. Compared to last year he is much further along. In the Tour of Germany he lost three minutes to Plaza in the time trial. Friday's time trial was a whole lot better," said Pevanage who has ordered Ullrich to take a rest day on Monday. "Then he will train at home for two days and on Thursday we will go to the Giro."
The Italian press is already getting excited about a battle between Ullrich and Marco Pantani taking place in Italy instead of France. Italian sports paper Gazzetto dello Sport has dubbed Ullrich 'the Emperor', though it remains to be seen whether he will be taking the Giro seriously, as he has hinted, or treating it as an extended training ride after his recent minor setbacks.
Pevanage says that of the Telekom team, Roberto Sgambelluri actually has the best chance of a good performance in the Giro. "He will try something there," said Pevanage, adding he only expects consistency from Ullrich, not brilliant results.
Pino may returnAlvaro Pino, former director of the Kelme team, may come out of his two-year-old voluntary retirement to manage the Swiss Division II Phonak team. Pino has been approached by the sponsor, a world-wide manufacturer and of equipment for the deaf, about helping the team move up to Division I.
It's an ambition project, and Pino admits he is ignorant about the team, though he did race against its current Directeur sportif. In order to move up to Division I, the team would require reinforcing and reorganising, not an inexpensive exercise. Pino says wants to return to competition if the financial backing is there, though this has yet to be discussed with Phonak.
Merckx resigns from Belgian Olympic bodyCiting disagreement with the organisation's policies, Eddy Merckx has resigned as administrator of the Belgian Olympic Committee (COIB).
"Structurally, Belgian sport is well behind, especially if you compare it to our Dutch neighbours and the number of medals at the last Games," Merckx said. "The COIB has become a savings bank. It has plenty of money but doesn't use it."
2006 Tour start for Dresden?Tour de France director Jean-Marie Leblanc says the 2006 Tour may start in Dresden, Germany. The city council has expressed interest in hosting the start of the Tour as part of the celebrations of the city's 800th anniversary. Leblanc said the city had a good chance of being chosen, commenting that the last time the Tour visited Germany "there were more spectators in Freiburg than in France. Germany is always very interested in the Tour de France"
Leblanc made the comment in Kudawa Zdroj, Poland at Sunday's third stage of the Peace Race. A quick check of the map reveals several hundred kilometres of, well, Germany between Dresden and France so a Dresden start would require either a lengthy transfer never popular with riders and teams or an additional couple of stages though Germany and into France.
Leblanc repeated his opinion that the Peace Race itself deserved more recognition and a higher place in cycling's hierarchy. "It is very well organised. I am certainly not the president of the UCI but I am going to lobby for the Peace Race to be classified in a higher category next year. If the Tours of Austria, Denmark and Luxembourg are in category 2.2, then the Peace race also deserves to be, and has done for a long time."
However, the Peace Race is seen as competition by the German Cycling Federation (BDR). Both races are categorised 2.3 by the UCI, and the BDR is also understood to be seeking a higher classification for its national tour. An increase for the Peace Race but not the Tour of Germany would put the German tour very much into the Peace Race's shadow, an ironically late victory for a race originally conceived in Cold War ideology.
Seigneur keeps on
Vannoppen on the roadBelgian Cyclocrosser Tom Vannoppen made his debut on the road yesterday (Sunday), in the GP Vilvoorde (1.5). He will probably start on May 23 in the Bayern-Rundfahrt as well. The team management of Vlaanderen-T-Interim will wait for the results in Vilvoorde (he finished in 65th place) before they decide on their selection for the Tour de Picardie (May 18-20).
Marcel Ryckaert dies
Marcel Ryckaert has died, aged 76. He was a three time Belgian champion - in the same year he won the national title as an amateur and as an independent. He was a domestique for Raymond Impanis during his time at Mercier and ended his career in 1960. Afterwards, he became famous as Eddy Merckx' mentor. The funeral is in Gent on Wednesday, May 16.
Casey on the mendInjured US Postal rider Dylan Casey, who broke his pelvis and collarbone in a collision with a TV cameraman at the end of the first stage of the four days of Dunkirk, has posted an account of the crash and his subsequent hospitalisation on his web site.
Casey says he had a clear run though the finish area until one of two TV people filming the race turned and stepped into his path. He was immediately taken to hospital, but his lack of French and the hospital staff's lack of English meant it was a while before they realised just how much pain he was in, and how serious his injuries were. At this point "my Director and Soigneur showed up to save the day" and arrangements were made to get Casey back to the US, but not before he got to spend three days getting bored silly and being forced to pay to watch TV.

Flodin in hit-and-runSwedish Team Crescent cyclist Johan Flodin was hit by a car during training Friday. Flodin was riding his ITT bike when a car came out of a side road and hit his rear wheel. The car driver only stopped briefly and then drove on. She is now sought by the police.
Flodin had the luck to escape with bruises and pains in a knee. Luckily an ambulance on the way home from an assignment passed when the accident occurred and Flodin was able to get immediate treatment.
Racing in VermontHoward Bank Green Mountain Stage Race
The cancellation of the Killington Stage Race this year left a gap in many American cyclists' end of year racing schedule. The following announcement from the Green Mountain Bike Club, App. Gap Promotions LLC, and Bolton Valley Resort may help to fill it.
The club announced that the Vermont Race Weekend will be moving to Labor Day weekend (August 31 -September 3, 2001) and would grow to a four stage event called the "Howard Bank Green Mountain Stage Race", consisting of a mass start prologue on Friday afternoon, the smartFUEL circuit race on Saturday, the challenging 65-mile Mad River Road Race on Sunday, and finishing on Monday with the downtown Burlington Howard Bank Criterium. Most categories (men, women, juniors, and masters (30/40/50) as well as citizens and tandems will be catered for.
"It was a surprise to learn of the cancellation of the Killington Stage Race," said Green Mountain Bike Club President Ben Haydock. "So many racers look forward to coming to Vermont to finish up their season. In expanding the Vermont Race Weekend into the Howard Bank Green Mountain Stage Race we wanted to continue the Vermont Labor Day weekend tradition by building on the well-established Mad River Road Race and Burlington Crit."
A USCF permit is being submitted for the race. Additional information about all the stages will be released upon USCF permit and course approval.

A man from Mberengwa got the shock of his life when he caught his UNCLE red-handed 'raving' his wife on the matrimonial bed.
The man, Tanaka Malazi, caught his wife of five years Jestina Sibanda with no clothes on in the company of Conwell Shumba.
After witnessing the sexual encounter he went berserk and assaulted his uncle with an axe handle all over the body.
Malazi appeared in court before magistrate Christopher Matarure facing charges of assault.
The remaining six were also suspended on condition that he performs community service.
In his defence, Malazi said he did not intentionally assault Shumba.
"The act was not planned; it came out as a result of anger. I also have children that I take care of so I am asking this court to be lenient with me."
President Mugabe once said that Nigerians are corrupt but I can say with certainity that a nigerian judge wouldn't give a judgement like this under these circumstances. If it was the president's wife stollen, would the thief get this five star treatment? Its strange.
The proud owner of the wife did a beat a thief and its a permissible act of passion, at least in South Africa.
In South Africa and other modern civilisations there is no punishment if you beat a wife thief. Zimbabwean laws encourage adultery but discourage same sex marriages. Cases of people committing suicide due to wife theft are on the rise. Laws are not cast in stone, these laws evolve; why can't law makers allow us to beat wife thieves so that people will think heavily when they get an opportunity to steal somebody's property? The law shouldn't protect thieves, its very unfair and unjust.
All males are slowly realising that they don't own their wives and they don't have control. This happened in America where married women claim that they are raped by their husbands. That is why they've homosexuals. The men in America don't want to marry a woman in order to be humiliated. The culture is coming to Zimbabwe slowly.
There are some men who force themselves on a woman and now they can do it with more vigour. The marriage isn't protected; chikomba chiri kuba apa choripwa. Kuuraya rudzi uku.
Kkkkkkk @ Solo, I have all your posts on this issue. The reason why your wife gets banged by another man is that she will be hungry. Whose fault is it kuti mkadzi wako aite nzara yebonde? Food for thought. So, if a donor comes to relieve your wife from suffering with passion, atadza here? From your point of view, maybe. Ko from her point of view? Inzwai varume mese..... If you don't satisfy your wife sexually, someone else will. Mazvinzwa? Ende futi vakadzi vevanhu havadi kushandisirwa macondoms because they are not used to them. Please take note. Musatinyaudze pa media nekuvovora imi musingagutsi vakadzi. Mkadzi anoda kukwirwa kusvika ati ndaguta. Muvhunze nguva dzese kuti "waguta here". Why, because kuchikomba anonyatsodura kuti "thanks daddy, nhasi ndanyatsoinzwa, ndaguta". Instead of spending time worrying rubbish on this forum, go back to bed to your wife and screw the shit out of her.
kkkkk solo didnt comment further i guess he went straight to bed kkkk
I'm against people who wreck other people's marriages, the sufferers are children who don't apply to be born. Let's look at the broader picture.
Mwana anokura nevabereki vasiri vake anoremerwa neupenyu vanhu we apa zisekuru rinenge rauya richiti, "Muroora makarapirwa here?" Muroora oti, "Kurapirwa kudii?"

Mehlman Email Aims to Scare GOP Base Over Impeachment Threat
"The word is out. Their position is clear. Last week, Sen. Russ Feingold floated a reckless plan to censure the President, and some Democrat leaders have ecstatically jumped on Feingold's bandwagon. And, if they gain even more power in November, they won't stop there." There you have it. RNC head Ken Melhman's aggressive campaign to use censure and impeachment to drive voters to the polls is in full swing. Mehlman sent an email to constituents Thursday morning in an effort to scare the bajesus out of them and to solicit money to fight the big bad Democratic beast.
"The Democrats' plan for 2006? Take the House and Senate, and impeach the President. With our nation at war, is this the kind of Congress you want? If your answer is a resounding "NO", I need you to make an urgent contribution to help us win this fight," Mehlman wrote.
Make no mistake. The censure/impeachment issue is going to be this year's gay marriage hot-button, and Mehlman & Co. will use it as contentiously and divisively as possible. It's going to get ugly. For the GOP and for Bush, it's about survival. And the Repuglicans have shown us time and again that they will use whatever means necessary, no matter how dirty, to attain and retain power.
Case in point, just take a look at the irresponsible rhetoric in Mehlman's email: "Democrat leaders' talk of censure and impeachment isn't about the law or the President doing anything wrong. It's about the fact that Democrat leaders don't want America to fight the War on Terror with every tool in our arsenal. Your immediate action will send these reckless Democrats a message and help preserve our Republican majorities."
This incendiary pack of lies is exactly the kind of swift-boating venom of which these criminals are capable. They'll continue to shamelessly distort the truth and, as demonstrated, even use 9-11 to connect the impeachment dots. Mehlman and his cronies, as well as his boss Bush, know very well that impeachment is indeed based on the law, and Bush's criminal behavior. It has nothing whatsoever to do with 9-11 and fighting the war on terror. It's another example of the Bushies' despicable exploitation of that horrific day in 2001 to satisfy their own selfish ends.
"The world is watching," writes Mehlman in his closing statement. "Using every tool at our disposal to fight terrorists should not be a partisan issue. Democrats should to be focused on winning the War on Terror, not undermining it with political axe-grinding of the ugliest kind." Well, look who just made the war on terror a "partisan" issue. Mehlman should be ashamed of himself.
But that's just the point. The Repugs have no shame. As I've written before, Democrats better get with the program and mobilize their own get-out-the-vote campaign based heavily on the impeachment issue or they'll be left in the political dust yet again. The Repug's are opening their playbook and showing their strategy. We can only hope that the Democrats are watching.

The last time retailers had to deal with significant food price inflation, Wal-Mart had fewer than 300 stores, consumers relied on grocers for more than 90% of their food purchases, and most supermarkets keyed prices manually at the checkout. Back then, pricing strategies were simple, said Jim Hertel, managing partner at Barrington, Ill.-based Willard Bishop.

Leader length
When I am making short casts 1.5 rod lenghts of fly line and shorter many times my leader doesn't turn over properly. This seems to happen more often when I am using a short rod. When using a 6-7 ft rod what is your favorite leader length? If it is less than the shortest commercial leader (7.5 ft) how do you make it shorter, shorten the butt or tippet. If you make your own will you share the taper?
P.S. Sure hope the hackers don't force the board off line again
Re: Leader length
I like a 7 1/2 with an aprox 2 foot 5X-6X tippet for drys which I mostly fish. I use my short rod for bluegills- prefer 9ft. for GSMNP. I don't want much line nor leader on the water, 7 1/2 turns over great for me. I would use longer leaders on larger streams or tailwaters.
Randy Sale
Re: Leader length
I agree with Kytroutbum on the length of both leader and tippet for the park for general fishing. *Nymphing, you can add a little more tippet if needed to get the fly down to where the fish may be depending on how and where the fish are feeding. *
If you are having trouble getting the leader to turn over, you might could try a lighter weight leader. *I don't know what size you are using. *Brand may play a role also, although I've never experimented much with different brands. *Orvis Mirage and Frog Hair are all I've used and they perform well.
Proper presentation on short casts can be difficult sometimes because you're not generating much momentum with the line to really engage the rod. *Try going into LRO and casting different rods short distances to see which one may work best for you. *Sometimes a different type of rod can relly make a lot of difference. *Any of the staff would be helpful and informative.
Good luck! *

Wardman Companies, Inc. has filed a claim against the Town of Colonial Beach in the amount of $14,934.98 for damages sustained to the Riverview Inn on June 21, 2012.
The town's insurance carrier has previously evaluated and denied this claim because the Town of Colonial Beach was not legally responsible for the damage, according to Resolution 31-13, which will be voted on at the May 9 Town Council meeting.
The hotel's windows were busted out when Dominion Virginia Power workers hit a water main while trying to bore into the street at the intersection of Irving Ave. and Hawthorne St. A huge geyser was formed, and shot rocks and water across the intersection and into the hotel's lobby windows. Dominion workers were attempting to place a power pole directly into the street at that intersection.
At first, the water started to leak out, bringing up sand and debris. As the water was forced out, the street began to cave in, eventually leaving a six to seven-foot crack, and a hole about five-feet deep.
As the dirt and rocks were being washed away, the pressure shot water out over 25 feet, resulting in rocks being hurled through the front lobby windows of the Riverview Inn.
Dominion officials would not comment at the time, but town officials say that Dominion Power was drilling into the street, directly over a marked water main.
Ed and Barbara Wise, who have a summer home in Placid Bay, were visiting relatives and killing time before they left town when the incident occurred.
Wise said he saw water running down near the Town Municipal Pier with sand in it. He thought the town was blowing out the water pipes, but then he noticed it was a water leak, and walked up to see what was going on.
"It wasn't that bad at first, it was just bubbling, but it kept getting bigger and stuff started caving in."
Wise said that workers were attempting to turn the water off. "All I heard was a big hiss, which wasn't gas, it was just water...air pressure, and that thing started geysing and started shooting stones and rocks."
Wise said that's when he decided to move, and they watched rocks fly through the front windows of the lobby of the hotel.
Town officials have maintained that Dominion did not have approval from the town, because they were attempting to place a power pole directly into the street, and over a water main.
Town Manager Val Foulds said that town staff was meeting upstairs with key personnel, when someone said, "VDOT was drilling in the street." Town staff did not know that Dominion was coming that day.
Previous poles along that section of Irving Ave. are all placed just off the sidewalk, within the gutter-areas of the street. The corner pole was the only pole that was embedded in the sidewalk.
Dominion's intentions were to replace the pole on the corner (in the sidewalk) with a new pole, placing it in the street.
Public Works Director Rob Murphy told the Journal right after the incident that he did have a conversation with Dominion officials previously. Murphy said that Dominion referred to the other poles being in the street, but Murphy said that he told them, "That was old news," indicating that the town would not allow Dominion to put the corner pole in the street.
The resolution before the council states that Colonial Beach Town Council has carefully considered the claim for damages. The resolution is drafted to deny Wardman's claim at the May 9 meeting.
Dominion officials would not comment on record.

My name is Jeremy Jeffreys. I grew up and went to school here in Vacaville and I am a graduate of Vacaville High School. My wife and I are both public school teachers and we have two wonderful daughters. I've dedicated all of my adult life to the service of my country and my community. I'm a technology electives teacher at a middle school and the Adult School in Fairfield. I have been teaching for 13 years and my first year I taught at Will C Wood High School. I have a Master's degree in education with emphasis in technology and I currently hold California teaching credentials in History (Social Science), Government and Economics and Industrial Technology.

In addition to teaching I am a military member and a veteran with 17 years of military service and a small business owner. I also spent six years volunteering here in Vacaville with the Police Department. I believe that anyone who has worked with me in the past, would agree that I truly have a passion for education and community. It is that passion that drives me as a board member with the Vacaville Public Education Foundation. I strive to be the kind of board member who works hard to assure that the students in Vacaville are given the opportunity to enrich their education, through funding for programs like music and the arts, programs that have been hardest hit recently with budget cuts. My older daughter grew up here in Vacaville with the opportunity to become involved in school music programs, a programs supported by VPEF. Over the years music has become her passion and she now plans on a career as a music teacher. Through funding and community partnerships VPEF has given, countless students, life-changing opportunities. As a parent I truly appreciate the great job that VPEF has done to support the students in our community.

Valentino (and Mickey Rourke) at Toronto
More disparate worlds have collided, but probably not at the Toronto Film Festival, as two vastly different crowds filled a theater on a wet Sunday afternoon in downtown Toronto. First up, Valentino: The Last Emperor, a surprisingly intimate documentary (directed by Vanity Fair's Matt Tyrnauer) about the designer and his business partner of 45 years, Giancarlo Giammetti. The film, which covers the last two years of their role in the company before Valentino's retirement, is touching, funny, certainly glamorous, and very good, as witnessed by the crowd's three standing ovations. While the documentary covers the intricate craft of making a couture frock, it's the camaraderie between Valentino and Giammetti that provides the film's most poignant, sometimes hilarious moments. When Valentino asks his partner how he performed during a tense press conference, Giammetti responds, "You were too tan."
At the screening, both men showed up to walk the red carpet in crisp navy suits and took their bows from a gilded box high up in the theater.
About 90 minutes later, a somewhat less elegant crowd trod the same red carpet for the premiere of Darren Aronofsky's brilliant drama The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke. The actor–his hair in dreads, his belly spilling out from his gold-flecked vest–was followed by a posse of beefy wrestlers. Also in attendance was the film's producer, Scott Frankel, dressed in a mac daddy-style pinstripe suit and brown-and-white spectator shoes, which Aronofsky couldn't resist mentioning when he took the stage. "Nice shoes," he quipped more than once during his speech.

The World Bank's twice-yearly Global Economic Prospects examines growth trends for the global economy and how they affect developing countries. The reports include three-year forecasts for the global economy and long-term global scenarios which look ten years into the future. Topical annexes in this online publication cover financial markets, trade, commodities, and inflation.
Washington, DC, January 14, 2014 — Five years after the global financial crisis, the world economy is showing signs of bouncing back this year, pulled along by a recovery in high-income economies, says Global Economic Prospects (GEP), January 2014.
Report | Press Release | Slideshow
Global Economic Prospects—June 2013: Less Volatle, but Slower Growth
The global economy is transitioning into what is likely to be a smoother and less volatile period.
Global Economic Prospects—January 2013: Less Volatle, but Slower Growth
The report indicates that most developing countries need to once again prioritize structural reforms like easing the cost of doing business.
Global Economic Prospects—June 2012: Managing Growth in a Volatile World
The report indicates that developing countries should prepare for a long period of volatility in the global economy by re-emphasizing medium-term development strategies, while preparing for tougher times.
Global Economic Prospects—January 2012: Uncertainties and Vulnerabilities
The report indicates that developing countries should prepare for further downside risks, as Euro Area debt problems and weakening growth in several big emerging economies are dimming global growth prospects.
Global Economic Prospects—June 2011: Maintaining Progress amid Turmoil
The report indicates that financial crisis for most developing countries is over. Efforts must now focus on tackling country-specific challenges such as achieving balanced growth through structural reforms, coping with inflationary pressures, and dealing with high commodity prices.
Global Economic Prospects—January 2011: Navigating Strong Currents
This report projects slower but still solid growth in 2011 and 2012, with developing countries contributing almost half of global growth. But the recovery in some high-income and emerging Europe and Central Asian economies is tentative.
Global Economic Prospects—June 2010: Fiscal Headwinds and Recovery
Even as the world economic recovery continues to advance, it faces fresh headwinds on the road to sustainable medium term growth. The report warns that while the impact of the European debt crisis has so far been contained, it has the real potential to derail global growth.
Global Economic Prospects—January 2010: Crisis, Finance, and Growth
While the worst of the financial crisis may be over, the global recovery is fragile. The report predicts that the fallout from the crisis will change the landscape for finance and growth over the next 10 years.
Global Economic Prospects 2009: Commodities at the Crossroads
The world financial crisis has dimmed short-term prospects for developing countries and the volume of world trade is likely to contract for the first time since 1982. The sharp slowdown has caused commodity prices to plummet, ending a historic five-year boom.
Global Economic Prospects 2008: Technology Diffusion in the Developing World
Rapid technological progress in developing countries has helped to raise incomes and reduce the share of people living in absolute poverty from 29 percent in 1990 to 18 percent in 2004. Despite these gains, the technology gap between rich and poor countries remains enormous, and the capacity of developing economies to adopt new technology remains weak. Developing countries must improve their capacity to absorb and use technology.
Global Economic Prospects 2007: Managing the Next Wave of Globalization
Over the next 25 years developing countries will move to center stage in the global economy. Global Economic Prospects 2007 analyzes the opportunities - and stresses - this will create. While rich and poor countries alike stand to benefit, the integration process will make more acute stresses already apparent today - in income inequality, in labor markets, and in the environment.
Global Economic Prospects 2006: Economic Implications of Remittances and Migration
This year's edition of Global Economic Prospects focuses on the flow of international migrant remittances and improving their development impact. It presents available data on migration flows and examines current thinking on issues pertaining to migration and its development impact. The bulk of the book covers remittances, including their size, determinants, development impact, and steps to strengthen financial infrastructure and reduce transaction costs.
Global Economic Prospects 2005: Trade, Regionalism, and Development
This report examines the proliferation of bilateral and regional preferential trading arrangements and what this means for the multilateral Doha trade negotiations. It tackles three main questions: What types of agreements help promote—and which ones impede—development? Do bilateral and regional agreements promote a deeper integration that the multilateral system cannot deliver on? Do they negatively impact a country's incentive to engage in multilateral Doha trade talks?
Global Economic Prospects 2004: Realizing the Development Promise of the Doha Agenda
The Doha Development Agenda of the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the WTO opened many contentious and important questions. This report analyzes the most critical multilateral trade issues and suggests policy options that would raise living standards in developing countries and reduce global poverty.
Global Economic Prospects 2003: Investing to Unlock Global Opportunities
In the face of uncertainties in the global environment, the report outlines steps that can be adopted by rich and poor countries to increase growth rates and accelerate poverty reduction. Though global GDP is expected to rise by 2.5 percent in 2003 as a result of improved business health and policy stimulus in the U.S. and Europe, the chances of the world economy sliding toward recession are real. Regional variations in growth in developing countries are striking: 6.1 percent in East Asia compared to 1.8 percent in Latin America. The poverty targets are likely to be achieved by most regions, except for Africa which lags behind. .
Global Economic Prospects 2002: Making Trade Work for the World's Poor
This report reviews the global economic environment and its implications for the developing countries over the next decade. Realizing the promise of the new global initiatives to expand trade requires concerted effort to move development to center stage in trade policy formulation. This report is dedicated to that agenda. It begins with a review of global prospects and ways globalization links the fates of industrial and developing countries. The report then considers issues in four broad areas that are particularly important to developing countries: merchandise trade, services, transport, and intellectual property rights. A final chapter summarizes the forward-looking policy agenda, and assesses the potential impact of further global integration and more rapid growth for the standards of living in poor countries everywhere.
Global Economic Propsects and the Developing Countries 2001
The global economy is likely approaching a cyclical high in 2000, while policy reforms and improvements in health and education in developing countries over the past decade have substantially increased their potential for long-term growth. However, volatility in the global economic environment presents major risks for developing countries that could depress prospects.
Global Economic Prospects and the Developing Countries 2000
This report analyzes the prospects for the global economy and the implications for poverty reduction; reports on the enormous social impact of the crisis in the most affected countries; reviews progress in corporate and bank restructuring in the East Asian crisis countries; and traces the impact of volatile commodity prices on exporters of primary commodities.
Global Economic Prospects and the Developing Countries 1998/99: Beyond Financial Crises
This report analyzes future prospects for developing countries in the wake of the East Asian crisis; maps out policies to deal with crises once they erupt; and focuses on ways to prevent future crises on the scale of East Asia's experience.

Fans outraged at Lady Gaga online ticket fiasco
AFTER a disastrous first day of online bookings for US pop star Lady Gaga's summer shows in South Africa, organisers finally gave in to pressure and reverted to the tried and tested method of selling tickets over the counter.
Fans can snap up tickets at Computicket outlets this morning, as opposed to tomorrow, in Johannesburg, and Friday in Cape Town, as initially announced.
Online ticket sales opened at 9am yesterday, and users were required to register on the Computicket website in order to be placed in a queue to book their tickets.
Computicket introduced the new system in an attempt to ease the pressure on outlets and the call centre.
But confusion reigned immediately after the system kicked in at 9am.
Users received messages saying: "There are more than 1000 people in front of you. Please be patient," and were notified of waiting times of as much two days.
Computicket quickly discontinued the service as users took to Twitter to complain.
Three hours later a smattering of users tweeted their excitement at finally receiving their booking confirmations, while others began to grow restless.
Times LIVE asked some readers at about 12.30pm how they had fared with their virtual queuing, and got these responses:
@Karen_Annabelle: "Online queue is ridiculous, still 1000 people in front of us, and accidentally clicked refresh so was sent to the back of the line."
@HiltonBoylan: "My sister waited an hour first time and lost her place. Now been waiting two hours. Disastrous is too nice a word. #LadyGagaSA"
@Monstette: "Got my tickets at about 10:15 and all went well #LadyGagaSA :) little evil lol when i see others complaining. I feel bad tho."
At about 1pm, via its Twitter and Facebook pages, Computicket told customers: "Due to the current issues with the 3D Secure/Verified by Visa security system the Lady Gaga queue has been placed on hold."
In a press statement, Shoprite Group CEO Whitey Basson blasted Computicket for "relenting" [consenting] to Big Concerts' decision to open ticket sales to internet users before opening sales at outlets.
Basson pointed out that the majority of its customers were either not internet users or did not own credit cards.

In the WSJ, Cameron Stracher wishes we could just turn off all the gadgets and connect with one another, for goodness' sake.
Even city streets, which used to be a veritable Petri dish for communication, are being overrun by headsets and Blue Tooth-enabled cell phones that allow people to walk, talk and chew gum while ignoring everyone around them. Get in a cab, and the driver is chatting away, but not with you. The advent of the Internet has only made matters worse, as children retreat to their rooms to surf the Web and IM their friends, whereas at least there used to be a fighting chance to get them into the family room to watch "Seinfeld."
Annoying, isn't it, that people with radically diverse tastes no longer settle for being on the same communal "page" when there's an alternative that suits them?

[PHOTO: Vickie Crider of Fulton was recently named as Itawamba County's Parent of the Year. Her exuberant personality and talkative nature have earned her many friends, as well as proved an occasional source of embarrassment for her seven kids. – photo by Adam Armour]
By ADAM ARMOUR
Staff Writer
Vickie Crider answered the question by laughingly stating that, in her experience, a steady prayer life is required to make a good parent.
She also admitted that nine out of 10 times, she doesn't have the right answers, which puts her original assertion on shaky ground. Still, the exuberant and jovial Fulton resident must be doing something right because she was recently named as Itawamba County Schools' Parent of the Year, an honor that she repeatedly claimed belonged to someone else.
"I felt very humbled that I was picked," she finally consented, after minutes of claiming the award belonged in the hands of someone else. "I don't see that I do anything extra from what anybody else does. But it was very sweet and kind of them."
She added that receiving the award was a big surprise, and she didn't even know that Itawamba Attendance Center Principal Sungja Collins and assistant principal Melanie Plunkett had nominated her.
"They pulled one on me," she said in a whisper, narrowing her eyes. "I pride myself in not having the wool pulled over my eyes, but they got me on this one."
Crider is the parent of seven children, ranging from eight to 30 years of age, three of whom still live at home. Her household, she admitted, can get a little hectic, but she tries to lead a structured existence.
"It's crazy at our house sometimes," she said. "We yell and jump and scream and holler, but it's fun."
Although she likes to joke, Crider stressed that she takes her children seriously, trying to stay actively involved in their lives. She serves as secretary for Itawamba Attendance Center's P.T.O., helps coach her daughter's softball and basketball teams and participates in AWANAS at her church.
She also sat in on her sixth grade son's science class for an entire week when his grades were dropping, much to his mortification. His grades promptly improved.
Crider laughed and agreed that nothing is more horrible to an adolescent boy like seeing his mother at school. But it's moments like these — dealing with all the stresses and joys of growing children — that make parenthood so enjoyable to her.
"I just love kids; I just love them; I love being around them; I love being there for them," she said excitedly. "I'm a 'doer' — I like to 'do' for people, so I like to 'do' for my children."
Crider added with a sly and confident grin, "They love me. Sometimes they act like they don't, but they do."
After talking at length about life with her children and the peculiarities of living with teen-agers, Crider smiled and admitted that she can't even remember what life was like before she had children.
"The good Lord just made me to be a parent," she said matter-of-factly. "Some people are, and some people aren't. I'm not saying I'm good at it. I just try to be the best I can."
The secret to good parenthood, she said, is a strong religious foundation coupled with a good ear.
"What works for me is my prayer life," she said again. "Knowing my child, and really knowing if something's off. Really knowing, and really listening to them. That's what works for me."
Common sense, she added with a smile, doesn't hurt, either.

The comic book genre has been at the forefront of fashion in the recent months - whether its fonts, typography or fashion (see my comic fashion post here), so it stands to reason that I would want to go to the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate Modern - the first large-scale showcase of his work in the UK in 20 years.
I had seen some work in the MoMA New York in the summer but nothing on this scale - the pieces are so wonderfully large and you can see all the detail on the Ben-Day dots, Lichtenstein's signature style.

If you walk through any goodsize IT department or technology company, you will usually find there is at least one centrallylocated meeting room that is almost always in use. While cynics will see this as a sign of "meeting-itis"—'No wonder these people don't get anything done ... they're in meetings all the time!"— a closer look provides a good lesson for department heads in many other kinds of organizations.

Expiration Date:?Mar 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid that, because of its unique structure, provides a wide range of antioxidant benefits. Because Astaxanthin is able to cross the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, it can deliver potent antioxidant protection directly to the eye, brain, and nervous system. Zanthin Astaxanthin has been patented for its ability to support retinal and overall ocular health. Scientific studies have also demonstrated that Astaxanthin can help to support a healthy inflammatory response.

Like a couple of other reviewers here, I was suffering for over a year from a stiff, sore shoulder (probably tendinitis and impingement). High doses of fish oil helped a little; but after a month of taking Astaxanthin (8 mg a day), the pain in my shoulder is almost completely gone and my joint mobility is almost completely restored to normal. Astaxanthin has proven far more effective than the prescription anti-inflammatories I was taking (like declofenac, which is toxic to your liver and kidneys, btw). This is the most effective supplement I've ever tried.
Nothing better. One of the best antioxidants in the world for your body. I take 6 per day, minimum, because I'm fighting cancer. If you do your research you'll see what a remarkable supplement this is. Couple of immediate results...you do NOT need sunscreen with this. It protects you naturally. My 1st day out this spring I laid out for 5 hours and did not burn. I have no sun/age spots anymore. The dark shading on my face in years past from the sun anre not there now. I have lots of energy. Visit naturalnews.com and register to that site. Read what he says about astaxanthin. Mike Adams is the chief herbalist and the things I've learned from him is saving my life from cancer without drugs or chemicals. P.S. You do NOT want to use sunscreen lotions ever again! The chemicals in it cause cancer and they also block the ultra necessary Vitamin D that you NEED to live and fight cancer. Its a double whammy! Besides the WellBetX and the Astaxanthin, I take green tea extract, I drink green tea, I take 6000 mg. per day of Vitamin C, 1000 mg. of calcium, 1000 iu's of Vitamin D, and I never, never use artificial sweetners. Aspartame/nutri-sweet/Equal turns ro formaldihyde in your body!! Order and use Stevia! Its amazing, natural, sweet and comes in flavors.
I like the small size
Posted by Reviewer1891763 on Dec 01, 2016
The small size of the softgels is great. My husband and I take it for our eyes and for its powerful antioxidant (possibly anti-cancer) properties.
It makes you feel like to go to the toilet

I'm fair complected and live in Thailand. Four mg in the morning and I never get burned anymore. I've been using this brand for a few years now and it never fails me.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Asian tapir is primarily, although not exclusively, nocturnal. Habitually using the same paths, which males mark with urine, this tapir travels long distances during the night in search of food (10) (6). The diet consists of fruits from a variety of trees and shrubs in substantial amounts, as well as aquatic plants, leaves, buds and soft twigs (10) (6). Blurred vision means that tapirs rely on their acute sense of hearing and smell for communication, to locate food and detect predators (4) (7). This tapir is mostly solitary, but occasionally seen in pairs (10) (6). The average range of the male is 13 square km which overlaps the ranges of several females (4). Mating is characterized by a noisy courtship display (5). Females breed every other year and, after a gestation period of 13 months, give birth to a single calf, which remains with its mother for six to eight months (10). Sexual maturity is reached at around three years, and Asian tapirs have been known to live for up to 30 years (5).

A Madison-area beer maker is brewing up a big expansion.
Capital Brewery will be able to make 10 times the amount of beer once its new $11 million Sauk City facility is complete.
Managers say they're growing while becoming more efficient. They'll even start bottling and canning their product.
"This industry's growing. Last year I believe it grew 17 percent, and it's been growing in that 10 to 15 percent for a number of years," said Tom Stitgen, Capital Brewery general manager. "It's becoming much more popular now, at 6 percent market share, in terms of total volume of beer that's sold out there."
Work will start later this summer in Sauk City to build new offices, a tasting room and an outdoor entertainment area. The company will also be adding jobs.
The Middleton facility will keep its beer garden and retail operation and brew specialty limited-release beers.

As time has passed, and wins have piled up, LeBron James has become less reluctant to admit the obvious.
Take what the Miami Heat forward said Tuesday night, after the 19th consecutive victory, that one against the Atlanta Hawks:
Let's be honest, guys. We're not sitting here and saying this is not something special. This is an unbelievable streak. We're playing great basketball. We're winning in different phases of the game. We're playing different styles. We've won every game, on the road, at home, double-overtime games, end-of-regulation games, whatever the case may be, we've been able to pull games out.
They have done so with their coach, Erik Spoelstra, continuing to pull out a number of lineups to fit specific situations. While Spoelstra has established a bit more consistency since the integration of Chris Andersen as a full-fledged, permanent rotation figure, he still can turn to one of the most versatile rosters in the NBA if he chooses to tinker.
So what lineups have worked best?
For that information, we turned to the new NBA.com stats site, set a cutoff at 63 minutes—or one minute for every game that the Heat had played through their 20th straight win, Wednesday in Philadelphia.
A dozen different lineups fit that description, with four different lineups getting at least 100 minutes of time together. One of them was the current starting lineup, with James joined by Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers.
But that lineup, while playing more than twice as many minutes (601) as any other, actually ranked sixth of 12 based on the chosen statistic, net efficiency rating per 100 possessions.
What follows are the first five.

Lynn Mellecker Wins $30,000 Top Prize Playing the 'Crossword' Scratch Game
DES MOINES, Iowa - A Johnson County woman said she scratched off her "Crossword" instant-scratch ticket with her sister and won a $30,000 lottery prize.
"The first word on it was 'Iris,' which is my grandma's name. And I was like, 'Oh come on grandma. Bring me some luck,'" Lynn Mellecker said. "And we were crossing it off and I had three words already. I'm like, 'Oh my gosh. I still have seven letters left to cross off. This is going to be a good one.'"
Mellecker, who is from Hills, claimed the 59th of 97 top prizes of $30,000 available in the Iowa Lottery's Crossword scratch game.
"So we're getting excited. My sister's going, 'Oh, my gosh. This is going to be it!' We crossed off a few more and I'm like, 'I just need an "A."' And my bonus letter was an 'A,'" Mellecker said. "And so we're sitting in the van just screaming, going, 'Oh, my gosh!'"
Mellecker, a respiratory therapist at the University of Iowa Hospital, said she and her husband, Michael, know exactly how they plan to use their winnings.
"We're going to pay some bills. You know, we're being practical. We'll pay some bills," she said.
Mellecker, 52, claimed her prize Monday at the lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. She purchased her winning ticket at Casey's, 310 W. Main St. in Hills.
Crossword is a $3 scratch game. Players win a prize by uncovering at least three complete words in the ticket's puzzle. If a player uncovers 10 words, he/she wins $30,000. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are 1 in 3.82.
Thirty-seven top prizes of $30,000 are still up for grabs in Crossword, as well as 59 prizes of $3,000 and thousands more prizes of $300 and $100.Return to top↑

Risk management is an integral part of our management system. We aim to minimise harmful impacts from our activities throughout their life cycle, from initial project planning to operations and decommissioning. We assess risks related to health, safety, security and the environment (HSE), social responsibility, as well as ethics and anti-corruption on the basis of their likelihood and potential effects. We apply the precautionary principle in our risk assessment.
In addition to complying with national laws, our internal policies and guidelines for this issue are based on international standards, and we employ the "as low as reasonably practicable" (ALARP) and "best available technique" (BAT) principles.
The overall management system of the Statoil group and the management systems of our operational entities are in line with the principles described in the ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS).
We take a multi-disciplinary approach to risk management, drawing on tools and expertise from our HSE, social responsibility and ethics and anti-corruption disciplines to respond to the diverse set of challenges resulting from our activities.
In 2009, we updated our risk management framework for HSE and we are in the process of revising our complementary framework for social risk management.
EPRA, our tool for integrated early-phase risk assessments, which brings together experts from HSE, social responsibility and ethics and anti-corruption, was also introduced as a group-wide risk management tool to meet needs across our business areas. The tool has been used in connection with several major potential acquisitions and early-phase activities, and it has successfully brought high-level management attention to risks connected to projects.
Furthermore, we published and began implementation of our guidelines for integrated impact assessment, drawing upon the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) Social and Environmental Performance Standards.
We also continued a review of labour standard risks in our supply chain and initiated efforts to improve our internal procedures and routines for promoting respect for labour rights and employment practices among our key contractors and suppliers.

Vehicle – Pedestrian Collision/
At approximately 8:00 this morning, a 16 year old male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle at 108th AVE NE and NE 53rd Street. The pedestrian was crossing from the east side of 108th AVE NE and was about 75 feet south of the marked crosswalk. Witnesses stated that the involved vehicle was traveling south bound on 108th AVE, and either at or below the posted speed limit. Witnesses also stated that it appeared the pedestrian entered the roadway suddenly, not in the crosswalk, and that the involved driver/vehicle could not stop in time.
Kirkland Fire Department and Police Department Units immediately responded to the scene. The pedestrian was alert, moving and speaking with the aide crew as he was being transported to the hospital emergency room. It is unknown what the extent of his injuries are at this time. The Kirkland Traffic Unit is handling the collision investigation.

Sharpe, Amanda L.a; Phillips, Tamara J.a b
Stress and alcohol abuse are co-related. Acute alcohol is anxiolytic and stress is cited as a factor in relapse to alcohol use. A primary mediator of the stress response is the neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). The CRF family of endogenous ligands includes urocortin 3 (Ucn 3), which binds selectively to the CRF type 2 receptor and has been implicated in ethanol consumption in dependent and withdrawing rats. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of Ucn 3, delivered centrally to nondependent mice, on limited-access ethanol consumption. Adult C57BL/6J mice were trained to self-administer 10% ethanol during daily, 2-h limited-access sessions, using lickometers to assess drinking patterns for both ethanol and water. Sterile saline or 0.3, 1, or 3 nmol of Ucn 3 was microinjected into the lateral ventricle immediately before the limited-access session in a within-subjects design. There was a significant decrease in ethanol (both ml and g/kg), but not water, intake following Ucn 3 treatment, explained by a change in size of the largest lick run. Food intake at both 2 h and 24 h after injection was statistically unaffected by Ucn 3 administration. These results establish a role for CRF type 2 receptors in a nondependent mouse model of ethanol self-administration.
