BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A profile of escaped murderer Kyle Bell on national television did not immediately result in any breakthroughs in the case, the commander of the North Dakota Highway Patrol said Sunday.
"We didn't get any substantial leads," Col. Jim Hughes said. "'Substantial' meaning we don't have him caught."
Bell's escape from a prisoner transport bus in New Mexico last week was featured Saturday night on the Fox network's "America's Most Wanted" program, which helps track down fugitives. Tips called into the program are being referred to a law enforcement task force in Bismarck and a similar group in Albuquerque, N.M.
Hughes did not know how many calls came in Saturday night and Sunday, but said officials were contacted by police as far away as the northwest United States. Many of the calls were from officers who had arrested someone and were verifying it was not Bell, Hughes said.
"If it's that widespread from law enforcement, it means everyone is looking for him," he said. "These things can take a long time, or they can turn in a minute if it's the right clue."
Other calls were from people who reported sighting Bell, but authorities said none of those leads panned out.
New Mexico authorities had received only one phone call by Sunday afternoon, "and it wasn't anything really substantial," said state police Lt. Richard Newman.
Gov. Ed Schafer's chief of staff, Bill Goetz, and Highway Patrol Sgt. Mark Bethke traveled to Albuquerque over the weekend to work with authorities there on strategy, Hughes said. More trips might be warranted if there are developments in the case, he said.
Bell, 32, escaped early Wednesday morning when the bus stopped for fuel at a Santa Rosa, N.M., truck stop next to Interstate 40.
Guards on the bus didn't realize he was gone until they got to St. Johns, Ariz., some nine hours later, and New Mexico State Police weren't notified until after that.
Bell, who was being taken to a super-maximum security prison in Oregon, apparently used a handcuff key hidden in his shoe to unlock his shackles and handcuffs.
The state of North Dakota and TransCor America Inc., the inmate transportation company that lost Bell in New Mexico, are putting up a $50,000 reward for his capture.
Bell was sentenced last month to life in prison for the murder of Jeanna North, 11, of Fargo, who disappeared in June 1993. He also was serving 30 years in prison for sexually molesting two young girls.
Jeanna's parents, John and Sue North, said watching the "America's Most Wanted" program was tough on them.
"I haven't seen a video of Jeanna in a long time," Sue North said. "I try not to watch (them). When she was running on the screen, it was like she was running right here."

Lead Singer Of Staind Calls-Out Concert Goers For Molesting A 15 Year Old Girl
Lead singer of hard rock band Staind, Aaron Lewis stopped a concert mid-song to call out some handsy concert attendees who were getting out of control with a young crowdsurfer.
The girl, reportedly 15 was being groped by older men as she crowd surfed around the pit of the stage. Lewis spotted it and decided that it was his responsibility to step in.
"Alright, listen up, you f**king a**holes. That f**king girl right there is, like, 15 f**king years old and you f**king pieces of sh*t are molesting her while she's on the f**king crowd. Your f**king mothers should be ashamed of themselves, you pieces of sh*t."
Needless to say, the crowd went wild at his interference. He told the crowd after that girls shouldn't be afraid to crowd surf safely and without having to fear of being taken advantage of.
Staind had been attending the Kansas city Rockfest, which was hosting a number of other prominent rock and metal bands such as Korn, Five Finger Death Punch and Steel Panther. The festival enlisted the help of 100 police officers and 250 security guards. Despite this unfortunate interruption, the concert was reportedly very well behaved, with only one arrest Saturday night, on the charges of trespassing.
The video is blow for you to watch. It is uncensored though, so if you have delicate eardrums, we suggest you abstain.

LOS ANGELES The Pinkberry frozen yogurt chain opened in Dallas its 77th location on Friday, the first store in the United States to open outside the chain's core markets of California and New York. Pinkberry has one franchise unit, respectively, in both Kuwait and Dubai, opened by M.H. Alshaya, a franchisee that earlier this year announced plans to open 35 stores in the Middle East. But the Dallas location, operated by franchisee Saxton Pierce Restaurant Corp., or SPRC, marks the beginning ...

LOS ANGELES — People who want to take a relatively aggressive, hands-on approach to their medical care might wind up with longer hospital stays and higher bills than their peers who leave the decision-making up to doctors, a new survey suggests.
A team of researchers from the University of Chicago School of Medicine reported on the survey's findings yesterday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
The study examined the findings of a survey offered to patients who were admitted to the university's medical center between July 1, 2003, and Aug. 31, 2011.
Analyzing the data, the researchers found that nearly all — 96.3 percent — wanted to receive information about their illnesses and treatment options, but that only 28.9 percent said they had a strong preference for making their own decisions about their care.
Those patients had longer hospital stays, by about a quarter of a day on average, than patients who preferred to let their doctors take the lead. They also had greater hospital costs —$865 more, on average.
People who were more likely to participate in medical decisions were better educated and more likely to have private insurance coverage.

July/August 2006
The Only Plan
Winther emigrated from his native Denmark, studied jazz at the University of New Orleans and now resides in the Crescent City. This album reflects his adoption of and adaptation to the local musical culture. It marks his rise as another promising tenor saxophonist among the ranks of well-schooled young jazz musicians.
The feeling of this album is bright and sunny. (It was recorded before Hurricane Katrina.) Rhythms indigenous to New Orleans abound, as pianist Richard Doron Johnson, bassist Neal Caine and drummer Ali Jackson Jr. dish out the infectious grooves. The ensemble sound of the horns (Winther and trumpeter Marcus Printup) recall the Blue Note era. You might call this a hard-bop-meets-New Orleans scene.
Winther originals dominate the program, beginning with the second-line-tinged "New York Strut." His jaunty, stride-piano-introduced "There It Is" and Monkish "High Ground" are also worthy of note. Winther's tenor is warm and fluid, with traces of Eric Alexander and perhaps the late New Orleans tenorman Red Tyler. On "High Ground," he hints at Charlie Rouse. Printup, who increasingly impresses with each new album he appears on, is in admirable form, with boldness and exuberance that suggest a young Freddie Hubbard.

RAD Studio XE4 empowers developers to create incredible apps for PCs, tablets and smartphones
MAIDENHEAD, UK - April 22, 2013 - Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software solutions for application and database development, today announced the availability of RAD Studio XE4, the app development suite for developers who need to create true native apps for PCs, tablets, and smartphones and get them to market fast. Built for developers by developers, RAD Studio XE4 lets users manage one codebase, one team and one schedule without sacrificing performance.
True native apps run directly on the device hardware with no scripting or interpretive layer. They give developers more control, tighter security and a better user experience. Many multi-device solutions today rely on virtual implementations or are interpreted at run time and are not true native apps.
"This is an exciting announcement," said Gary Barnett, principal analyst at Ovum. "Embarcadero has drawn on a long and impressive history of delivering solid development tools. Developers can create multichannel apps that are truly native for each platform, and do it using one code base in a single development environment."
RAD Studio XE4 delivers multi-device development for ARM and Intel devices, including Apple iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac OS X, Windows PCs, Slates and Surface Pro tablets. Benefits include:
Multi-Device App Development
With RAD Studio XE4, developers can now create apps that are compiled and optimized for multiple device platforms. Complexity is reduced with one set of development resources to create apps for multiple platforms — one codebase, one team and one schedule.
Build True Native Apps
True native app development offers the best performance and tightest security without scripting engines or virtual machines, allowing developers to take advantage of the full range of capabilities available on each device to deliver the best user experience.
On Device Rapid Prototyping
Developers or designers can quickly create no-code, visual mockups with live or simulated data and deploy to actual target devices (PC, phone, tablet) or simulate on Windows or Mac, giving clients and team members a far more accurate and impressive prototype experience.
Key features of RAD Studio XE4 include:
Full application framework for iOS, Windows, and Mac OS X, with support for Android coming soon.
Full visual designer for iOS, Mac, and Windows user interfaces with multiple device types, resolutions, and orientations.
iOS native styled user interface controls and native services such as motion and camera sensors and Geo location, sharesheet, and notification services.
Local database support for SQLite, IBLite, and InterBase Embedded ToGo.
Built-in Multi-tier Enterprise connectivity for Oracle, Sybase, IBM DB2, InterBase, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, SOAP and REST services and more.
What customers are saying
"In these multi-OS times, software developers have been eagerly waiting for stable source code reuse from an IDE. Embarcadero has the strategic base technology for future mobile, including Android later this year. RAD Studio XE4 marks the birth of the first REAL native multi-platform IDE."
- Simon Choi, president and chief developer, MaxPaper
"iOS support in RAD Studio XE4 is amazing, and the amount of code reuse is very high. I've personally migrated a 600,000+ lines of code Excel reader/writer/viewer from Windows and it is working great. I am really impressed and excited by this release."
- Adrian Gallero, product manager, tms software

Which option would be more effective in containing North Korea: Through unity with South Korea, diplomacy, or military intervention?Asked by Seram Lee, from Pepperdine University
North Korea's ratcheting up of tensions requires South Korean and U.S. military forces in Korea to be prepared to defend against North Korean military incursions. Resumption of diplomacy will only be possible when North Korea signals it is ready to resume dialogue and all parties agree on an agenda that includes both tension-reduction and denuclearization.

Les Oeufs Jeannette (Eggs Jeannette)
When Jacques Pepin was a kid, eggs were a staple on his table. Meat or poultry showed up there once a week, at the most, and more often than not, their "meat" dinners consisted of a delicious ragout of potatoes or cabbage containing bits of salted pork or leftover roast. Eggs were always a welcome main dish, especially in a gratin with bechamel sauce and cheese. He loved them in omelets with herbs and potatoes that his mother would serve him hot or cold with a garlicky salad.
His favorite egg recipe, however, was his mother's creation of stuffed eggs, which he baptized 'Eggs Jeannette.' To this day, he has never seen a recipe similar to hers, and he still enjoys it often at his house.
Jacques Pepin: Versatile Ingredients
Slideshow: Great Comfort Food Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 6 jumbo eggs (preferably organic)
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil)
- Crunchy French bread
- 2 to 3 tablespoons leftover egg stuffing (from above)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- Dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
How to make this recipe
- Put the eggs in a small saucepan, and cover with boiling water. Bring to a very gentle boil, and let boil for 9 to 10 minutes. Drain off the water and shake the eggs in the saucepan to crack the shells. (This will help in the removal of the shells later on). Fill the saucepan with cold water and ice, and let the eggs cool for 15 minutes.
- Shell the eggs under cold, running water and split them lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully, put them in a bowl. Add the garlic, parsley, milk, salt and pepper. Crush with a fork to create a coarse paste. Spoon the mixture back into the hollows of the egg whites, reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling to use in the sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet and place the eggs stuffed side down. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the eggs are beautifully browned on the stuffed side. Remove, and arrange stuffed side up on a platter.
- For the dressing, mix all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk or a spoon until well combined.
- Coat the warm eggs with the dressing and serve lukewarm with crunchy French bread as a first course or main course for lunch.

Marvel Comics launched a number of new comics in July,
Avengers A.I. #1… which seems to have Hank Pym in it. Unless, as this week's Age Of Ultron may suggest, it's a damn dirty lie. There's also Age Of Ultron #10 U.C. which must stand for something that fits in with this Hunger image…. Ultron's Carvery?
There's What If AVX #1… and #2, #3 and #4.
Guardians Of The Galaxy: Tomorrow's Avengers #1 as Brian Bendis decides he wants more of the Top Twenty books to himself.
Emerald City Of Oz #1, Marvel's last best hope of selling in the bookstores.
The Superior Foes Of Spider-Man #1, Superior Carnage #1 and Superior Spider-Man Team Up #1 as Dock Ock wants all your money.
Dexter #1, third time lucky, as in, this has been solicited three times now. Here's hoping this time it sticks.
Deadpool Kills Deadpool #1, the last ct in the Deadpool Killology series.
Wolverine In The Flesh #1 written by cooking reality TV star Chris Cosentino and starring himself alongside Wolverine, which has Mary Sue written all over it.
But with all these new first issues, something would have to give.
And what seems to have given is Winter Soldier. No mention in July's solicitations, the last issue in June was #19. Could that have been the final one?
Mind you, with Captain America 2 being subtitled The Winter Soldier, look for a Marvel NOW relaunch any day… now.
Say, you don't reckon they could get Ed Brubaker back do you? Here's the June solicitation. Maybe that explosion was a bit more final than we were expecting?

Variant cover by JASON LATOUR

When it was all said and done the fusion managed an impressive 81.5 miles per gallon, and traveled 1,445.7 miles on a single tank of gas. Not to be outdone in its own right, the new 2011 Mustang with its 3.7-liter, 305 horsepower V6 engine set out to reach its maximum range on a single tank of gas at Bristol Speedway. The 2011 Mustang V6 coupe, equipped with a six-speed automatic is officially rated at 19 city and 31 highway miles per gallon.
In order to achieve the best possible fuel economy, the V6 Mustang traveled at an average speed of 43.9 mph, including driver changes, and covered a total of 1,457 laps at Bristol Speedway. In total, 776.5 miles were traveled, resulting in an average fuel economy of 48.5 mpg - a new record for Bristol Speedway - and not too shabby for a 305 horsepower sports coupe.
Ford utilized five different drivers pilot the Mustang, four of which were Mustang team engineers, as well as Nascar driver David Ragan.

Proposals that would allow backyard chickens in Iowa City have won initial approval from the City Council.
The council voted 5-2 for both measures Tuesday. One would amend a zoning ordinance for accessory uses and buildings to allow for chicken coops. The other deals specifically with the rules for having chickens.
The proposals include several regulations, including a limit to four hens and no roosters, no slaughtering and no selling of eggs. A permit would be required.
Two more readings of each measure are necessary for them to be adopted.
The council remains divided on whether people would need to have their neighbors' permission before getting the chickens.

Somewhere over the rainbow...
Photo courtesy Gerald Augustinus; origin unknown.
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of the Pentecost, the birthday of Mother Church. In cathedrals across the land, gay activists intend to use the blessed occasion, to call undue attention to how they spend their free time, by wearing rainbow sashes. Presumedly, they will attempt to receive Communion while so doing. They won't get far in Arlington, Virginia.
I am the designated lay reader for the 11am Mass tomorrow, when the Bishop usually presides. Should this turn out to be the case, it will be my first such exercise in the presence of His Excellency. If any of these clowns have any funny ideas, they'd better take them somewhere else if they know what's good for them. It's bad enough they have to parade around like the rest of us care about their damn fool nonsense.
But making me look bad? That, and dissin' Mama -- well, y'all be walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Consider yourselves warned, boys.

I'd be thrilled if Haliburton (or whatever name it's going by now) had their stocks drop to 9/11th of a cent. Dick Cheney would need a new heart! (Maybe this time he could get a transplant from a rabid wolverine, since that seems to be his "spirit animal".)
DaShakie said, "So why is that Liberals/Progressives/Democrats are always talking about love, acceptance, and live and let live……..but love to rip into anyone that disagrees with them in the least?"
Who disagreed with you? Wolfie made a comment about Halliburton and Cheney. This shouldn't affect you unless you're Dick Cheney in drag.

First, let's get something out of the way. Most of what's really new in Windows 8 relates to the Metro touch interface, which is Microsoft's biggest bet on this OS generation -- a bet that's risky but necessary given the company's lack of presence in the growing tablet market. This is also how the folks at Redmond have figured could give a needed boost to its smartphone business ("Windows everywhere"), which is well behind market leaders, iOS and Android.
This review is based on my experience with Windows 8 using a desktop, so I've been treating Windows 8 like most computer enthusiasts will: as a direct upgrade from Windows 7 on my custom-built machine, just like I did with Vista, XP, 2k, and other previous Windows releases.
As you've heard repeatedly in the past year, the new Windows Start screen replaces the Start menu, and that's a radical shift for the platform. A few months ago, we wrote an editorial about using the Start screen as a Start menu replacement. Feedback was overwhelming and evidently divided. I don't feel the Start screen is perfect on a desktop, nor is it a fully competent replacement, but once you settle on the idea and spend time configuring the screen to your liking, it's a viable solution for quickly accessing programs.

NIMPENTOAD by Henry, Joshua, and Harrison Hertz
The Back Cover
Nimpentoad is the tale of a courageous and resourceful little Nibling who leads his tribe through the perilous Grunwald forest, overcoming obstacles and encountering strange creatures along the way. Nimpentoad is an engaging story with fantastic illustrations, and positive lessons of teamwork, creativity, perseverance and leadership.
My Thoughts
Having been contacted by Henry to read and review Nimpentoad, after reading the description I gladly accepted. If I would of had a copy of Nimpentoad when I was a child, it would of been one of my favorite books. Goblins, giant wolves, Orcs, Rhinotaurs are some of the creatures the little Niblings encounter on their travels through the Grunwald Forest. They might not sound like anything to fear, unless you are a Nibling! Niblings are the smallest of creatures found in the forest, and peculiar they are. They love mushrooms, berries, and bug eggs and they are great cooks. Because they are so small, they are on their way to Goofus the Giant's castle to ask if they can work for him in exchange for protection from the other forest creatures. After all, being the smallest creatures they get picked on and made fun of by the other forest creatures. Their path is full of adventure, bravery, and imagination, thanks to a Nibling named Nimpentoad!
A short little story with many lessons, I can't wait to read this to my daycare children! The descriptions are so vibrant, the story is easy to imagine in your mind. Written by a father and his two elementary age sons, this tale is sure to be a favorite for young and old! Highly recommended!

Government Shutdown Ensnares D.C.
Barrington M. Salmon | 10/15/2013, 10:31 a.m.
"I've been working with Rep. Issa for quite some time on this issue," he said. "The things he's said are no different. One can question the motivation but the action is what's important."
Democrats have refused to pass piecemeal legislation and continue to push for a full continuing resolution to reopen the federal government.
Gray, 71, said the city government will likely spend between $200 million and $300 million of "rainy day" funds to pay District employees. He was forced to exercise this option after declaring all city workers "essential" employees after a cadre of right-wing House Republicans led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz engineered the government shutdown three weeks ago. As the crisis lingers, the District is beginning to delay certain payments in an effort to stretch dwindling reserves.
In the District, the national monuments, Smithsonian museums, Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo remain closed, more than 800,000 federal employees are sitting home, an additional 1.3 million federal employees are affected, many working without pay and there appears to be no end in sight for this stalemate.
Statistics indicate that almost 13 percent of all employees in the Washington metropolitan area work for the federal government, versus a little more than two percent nationally. Federal contractors, local governments and local businesses are being adversely affected by the loss of money caused by the shutdown.
Gray said his administration has managed to continue normal government operations by drawing on reserve funds, but cautioned that that money won't last forever. He said the longer the shutdown goes, the deeper the damage the Nation's Capital will suffer.
The city spends close to $20 million per day on payroll and city services, he said, and currently there's about $150 million of available cash. That amount will last a little more than another week which has Gray and city officials looking at what other funds they can tap into.
On the horizon, Gray said, several pressing issues that come to mind – among a host of responsibilities – includes making the city payroll for 33,000 D.C. employees and allocating the quarterly payment of between $150 million and $200 million to public charter schools. Also affected are millions of dollars of grant disbursements the District makes on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security to surrounding jurisdictions to fight terrorism. Until the impasse ends, no money will reach first responders and others. The city must also find money to pay Medicaid providers, Metro, pay rent and take care of a range of other obligations. Tax refunds to businesses and individuals, and lottery payouts will be delayed until the federal government resumes normal operations.
Joslyn Williams, president of the Washington Metropolitan Chapter of the AFL-CIO, praised Gray and the city council for their decisive action to classify District employees in a way that, for now, safeguards their salaries and wages.
"At the moment the impact has not been felt, isn't very, very strong on workers because they're using the 'Rainy Day' fund to keep workers on the job," Williams said during a recent interview. "But that could very well change in a couple of weeks. This gives us the ability to do what other states would. It accentuates D.C. rule and shows that we're subject to the economic whims of the federal government."
"The mayor [made the declaration] without the authority of the Office of Management and Budget but I'm sure President Obama understands."
Gray said not defying the Anti-Deficiency Act would have undermined the moral authority of all those who continue to make the case to Congress that the District "deserves to be permanently freed from being forced to ask permission to spend our own money."
"Already, our inability to spend our own funds is directly endangering the health, safety, and welfare of our residents, visitors and businesses," Gray said during his weekly radio address. "And the consequences will only grow more dire if, God forbid, this drags on. No one wins when the government shuts down, and if federal grant money is blocked because of this debacle, it just means yet more taxes levied against our residents and businesses that did not have a say in the decision. This is just another example of how the processes within our federal government adversely impact our community. D.C. residents should not have to put up with being second-class citizens in our own city."

A Summary of Texas Administrative License Suspension Laws
(DWI and "Administrative License Revocation")
Many Texas drivers who are arrested for driving while intoxicated do not realize that a DWI arrest creates two cases.
Specifically, a DWI arrest results in both a criminal charge, and can also initiates a civil proceeding against the arrested motorist's driving privileges called an Administrative License Revocation, or ALR.
An ALR suspension is initiated against an arrested driver when he either refuses to submit to breath or blood testing, or alternatively, fails a breath or blood test. The legal authority to impose an ALR suspension against a driver lies in the Texas implied consent statute.
This law states that each person who operates a motor vehicle on Texas roadways has given his implied consent to provide a specimen of breath or blood if arrested for DWI and provided with the applicable consequences of refusing to submit to testing (Texas Transportation Code 724).
The implied consent statute also applies to operators of watercraft in Texas. In Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) cases, a driver's license may be suspended for refusing - but not for failing - to submit to the taking of a specimen a breath or blood test if a person is arrested for an offense involving the operation of a watercraft powered with an engine having a manufacturer's rating of 50 horsepower or above.
Further, in all intoxication-related offenses, Texas courts have decided that an individual does not have the right to consult with an attorney before making the decision to refuse or provide a requested specimen. Indeed, in cases where an accident which produced serious life-threatening injury or the possibility of death has occurred, a citizen can be forced to provide a sample of blood.
Notice of ALR Suspension
Many police officers, after arresting a citizen, will tell the arrested driver that if he does not agree to take a breath or blood test that his license will be automatically and immediately suspended.
This is incorrect. When making an arrest for DWI, peace officers are required to take possession of any Texas license issued by this state and held by the person arrested and issue the person a temporary driving permit that expires on the 41st day after the date of issuance. Further, a request for a hearing to challenge the proposed suspension will delay any ALR sanctions until a hearing takes place.
Hearing Request Provisions
WARNING !!! An ALR suspension is AUTOMATIC...UNLESS you request a hearing to challenge the suspension, in writing, WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS after receiving notice of suspension from the arresting agency on a Department of Public Safety approved form (generally received on the day of arrest).
If a hearing is not timely requested, the suspension will automatically begin on the forty-first (41st) day after notice was received. If a hearing is requested, no action will be taken regarding suspension until after the hearing has taken place, even if the hearing takes place more than forty days after the arrest.
Further, in the event of an ALR appeal, the suspension can be delayed for an additional 90 days. (Call our office immediately for assistance if you think your license is at risk- (512) 469-6056).
The ALR Hearing
The burden of proof at an ALR hearing is on the Department of Public Safety. Once a driver or his attorney has made a timely request for an ALR hearing, no suspension may be imposed against the driver until the Department of Public Safety proves the following elements by a preponderance of the evidence at the hearing:
Suspension Provisions for Adult Drivers
Without any prior alcohol or drug related contacts against the accused driver during the previous 10-year period, the periods of suspension are as follows:
NOTE: If the person who refuses is a resident without a license,
an order will be issued denying the issuance of a license to the person
for 180 days.
One Final Note
In addition to protecting your driving privileges, there is an equally important reason to request an ALR hearing, and that is to better defend you against the DWI charge.
Unfortunately, most drivers, and many lawyers who are unfamiliar with DWI defense, do not realize the "discovery" importance of an ALR proceeding. In fact, the importance of having a hearing to challenge your ALR case is twofold.
First, with the assistance of a knowledgeable and skilled defense attorney, many drivers are able to avoid a suspension of their driving privileges. Second, by challenging your license suspension, you are providing your attorney with an opportunity to use the ALR hearing to learn more about how to best defend your DWI charge.
In this regard, the "discovery" information obtained through the ALR process can be invaluable to your defense, and is often the deciding factor in determining whether the related DWI charges can be successfully defended against.

While pants may be a common staple of the modern women's attire, in the 40′s and 50′s it was not very common to see a lady wearing pants. During WWII many women took jobs in factories to supplement the work men would typically do. In these jobs, women often wore pants and shorts because skirts and dresses just were not practical. (Women have been wearing pants to work since the 1800′s, but not many women had jobs prior to WWII.) After the war ended, many women felt the freedom that had come with wearing pants and shorts, and the trend was started…slowly. It was becoming acceptable to wear shorts and pants around the house, but going out for any occasion (even just the grocery store) meant donning a dress. Rebellious young girls began wearing pants in public, much to the horror of the more modest men and women.
Full Length Pants: Pants provided women more freedom than cumbersome skirts and dresses, making it easier for certain tasks to be accomplished such as horseback riding and gardening.
- Trousers/Dungarees – A common staple of ladies who wore pants mid-century were trousers. Trousers were generally high-waisted pants that were fitted at the waist and hips but loose along the leg. When these pants are made from denim they were called dungarees.
- Overalls – Pretty much everyone knows what overalls are, but in the 40′s and 50′s the overall style was similar to that of trousers; fitted at the waist and hips, look along the legs. For those of you who sew, a trouser pattern can double as an overall pattern if you just add the top/strap section.
- Sailor Pants – Although nautical attire was fashionable long before the 1900′s, the patriotism in America during and following WWII was certainly high and may have contributed to the mainstreaming of sailor pants into civilian wear. Sailor pants are loose fitting throughout the hip and leg, flaring into a bell shape at the bottom. Button detailing on the front of the pants add to the nautical fashion (and are just fun!).
- Cigarette Pants – Slim legged full length pants were known as cigarette pants, named for the tube shape of the pant leg which resembles a cigarette. Smoking was pretty common and socially accepted in the earlier half of the 1900′s, so it's not shocking that an article of clothing would be named for it. In today's anti-smoking society we call this same style the skinny pant.
Short/Cropped Pants: Cropped pants provide more modesty for ladies, as opposed to wearing shorts, while allowing women to have the freedom of pants.
- Capri Pants – Capris are cropped pants that end at mid-calf. Capri pants are tighter fitting throughout the length of the leg.
- Pedal Pushers – Pedal pushers has a similar silhouette to capri pants; fitted throughout the leg, but generally stopped at the knee. This allowed women to ride bikes without skirts or long pants getting caught in the spokes of the bike.
- Clam Diggers – Cropped pants with a loose fit around the calf were known as clam diggers. The loos fit at the bottom of the leg made it easier for pants to be rolled up during various tasks…like digging form clams!
A zipper fly in the front of pants was considered crude, so true vintage fashions will have a side closure. For a Rockabilly look, front closures are acceptable (and easier to come by).

Engineering the 10 000-Year Clock. The year is 12011.
Two hikers cut through a stretch of cactus-filled desert outside what was once the small town of Van Horn, near the Mexican border, in West Texas. After walking for the better part of a day under a relentless sun, they struggle up a craggy limestone ridge. Finally they come to an opening in the rock, the mouth of what appears to be a long, deep tunnel. As they head into the shadows, not quite knowing where the tunnel will lead, the sudden darkness and the drop in temperature startle their senses. After a few minutes the hikers reach a cool chamber dimly lit from above. A giant metal wheel sits in the middle of the platform, and the visitors each grasp a handle that juts out from its smooth edges. It sounds like science fiction, but this is the real vision for the 10 000-Year Clock, a monument-size mechanical clock designed to measure time for 10 millennia.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Morning, Lunatics …
>> The Tuesday video will have to wait another week to make its debut, partially due to McKechnie Field getting pounded by rain all day, partially due to the change in travel plans. Which is fine. The feature really should start in Pittsburgh. And for that matter, its second episode really should come in another very special place.
>> I'm going to preface this rant by saying the subject doesn't matter in the slightest. At least not singularly.
Last night in St. Louis, the Blues beat the Jets, 4-1. That was the score put out to the world, anyway, including the official Twitter accounts of St. Louis and Winnipeg. The players left the ice, the fans left the ScottTrade Center, even the officials were gone. But between 18-20 minutes later, the following appeared on the Jets' account:
See anything wrong there?
What you can't see are the time stamps, but I can tell you it's an 18-minute gap between the one on the bottom and the later one on the top. The Blues' timeline looked no different, same time stamps.
What the heck?
The short version is this: St. Louis was awarded a goal with 0.1 seconds left, while at the other end all manner of mayhem ensued. On the ice, the call was an awarded goal. On the ice and even after everyone was off the ice, the score of the game was 4-1.
Until someone — 'the NHL,' according to Winnipeg's Twitter account — 'changed the score.'
Sorry, man, but that just can't happen. And if someone in New York or Toronto has decided that it can, that sets one monstrously ugly precedent for the sport going forward.
They call it the final score for a reason.
It isn't just the participants and the athletes who deserve to know that the score is final once they've left the competition. It's the fans and the TV viewers and, yeah, though no one with any league will discuss this, the bettors. When the game is over, it's over. I don't care if it's last night's mostly meaningless game in St. Louis with an outcome that wasn't affected, or if it's Brett Hull's skate in the crease, or if it's Santonio Holmes staying inbounds, or even what might have been a welcome reversal with Armando Galarrago's imperfect game, the final score must be the final score.
I challenged Twitter followers late last night to come up with other examples they could recall of scores being changed after the fact, and the only that was produced concretely came in college football. It's an odd case, as you'll see on that link, the 2011 USC victory over Utah, in that a miscommunication between the on-field officials and the scorers in the press box was blamed. But it still looks hideous in that it took two hours to change the score from 17-14 to 23-14. Here, too, the winner wasn't determined, but one can only imagine if it had.
Several readers noted the Steelers-Chargers fiasco from 2008. That one, most of you will recall, was a huge mess, as the link will remind. But the key difference between that and the two above is that, per all accounts, the officials on the field ruminated for a more reasonable 10-minute delay before the outcome was initially determined. Again, not sure that's in the same class. I could be wrong. It's not totally clear who made the final ruling on that final score, whether it was the officials or the NFL.
Other readers cited a NASCAR controversy, as well as some in the Olympics and other individual sports that rely on order of finish and have that order changed when someone is discovered later — even decades later — to have cheated. Those seem fair to bring up.
But this one was the best: Harvey Haddix's 1959 masterpiece, a performance which should never need elaboration for proper context, had a change of score, too. And it took a full day for the National League to rule that the man who hit the apparent two-run homer to win it in the 13th, Joe Adcock, had passed Hank Aaron on the bases. Adcock was given a double, and the score went from 2-0 to 1-0.
As evidence, Pittsburgh's morning newspaper had the former score, the evening paper the latter.
That, too, of course, didn't affect the outcome, a common thread here. Woe unto whichever league tries that one first. Best to just not do it at all.
>> Kris Letang looked and felt great in his return to practice, Josh Yohe reports from Consol.
In light of some of the spirited debate in the comments section of this blog yesterday, I might call special attention to the point made in the article that doctors remain uncertain if the stroke was or wasn't caused by the hole in the heart. It's not known.

And in Stewart's place goes … Tony Sanchez?
Don't be so sure.
One of the many unfortunate things about Twitter is that its immediacy tempts you to put out opinion right on the spot when, almost always, it's better to wait and find out more. I tweeted yesterday that Sanchez 'deserved' the spot, but I later heard on my drive over here from Bradenton that there's deep concern about his throwing. If that holds, it's hardly a given he'll come north.
Meanwhile, the local head football coach gave a speech to the Pirates, then an interview to Sawchik …

That might get some guffaws for those who look at the Buffs being without their best player, Spencer Dinwiddie, and being generally lousy on the road, but hey, who's to say Dixon isn't painting the Panthers as underdogs because they just aren't very good at this NCAA Tournament thing?

On Tuesday 6th August Baby C finally had his allergy testing done at the hospital. Our appointment was for 9.30am and luckily my Dad was taking us to the hospital, otherwise we would of had to leave at 7am to catch a bus over. My mother-in-law arrived at 9am to look after my three older children and I set off with my Dad, C and Mum – she also had an appointment at the hospital at 10am so she hitched a lift too.
On arriving I headed off to find the dermatology section – it didn't take to long to find. We checked in and it was quite busy, we took a seat and waited. There were a lot of other children there having allergy testing done too, there was a 13 year old teenager kicking up such a fuss because her arm was itching where she was having a reaction, and moaning that she couldn't itch it and then there were lots of tiny children just taking it all in their stride – highly amusing, for me anyway, probably not for her.
We got called in at approx 10am to get C weighed and measured, he weighs 22lbs now and I can't remember what they said his height was but he is quite tall. We went back out to the waiting room again and waited some more, at approx 10.15 we got called in to see the Doctor and she took all C's history and decided what to test him on judging by history. H had 18 tests lined up, they were:
Egg White
Egg Yolk
Dust mites (UK)
Dust mites (U.S.A) – apparently they have bought it over here so it had to be tested
Hayfever – or something similar that would determine hayfever
We went back to the waiting room and waited to be called through for the testing. While we were waiting a lady came and explained how it all works and C fell asleep in my arms just as we got called through to have the test done. As we sat down he started to wake up a bit but still looked a bit dopey, he was very relaxed and didn't mind at all while the lady did the first 10 tests and pricks on one arm, followed by the 8 on the other arm. He did curl his toes when the pin pricks went in but other then that there were no tears, he was a very brave boy.
We got sent out to the waiting room for a further 15 minutes to see if any reactions appeared, almost instantly the egg white and egg yolk appeared as huge welts, and the eczema on his face started to flare and we had an itchy little boy, no tears though. After a little scratch of his face he fell straight to sleep again, no other welts appeared and we got called back through, she measured the welts and one was measuring 16mm and another 11mm which equalled to a 27mm reaction to a whole egg. I instantly got confused and asked the question "Do they have egg in baby milk then?", after I said it I thought "Doh!", one of them moments.
We went through to the waiting room and waited to be called back through to the Doctor to discuss the results. We only waited 5 minutes before getting called through again and I explained to the doctor how confused I was that a high reaction came through from eggs but he had only been on solids for 2 weeks and the eczema had been present since 8 weeks of age. She sent us through to the dietitian who went back through his history with me then explained that it sounded as if had a milk protein, soya and wheat allergy too, as he was tried on Lactose milk with no change then put on Soya milk which made his eczema worse. He also had reactions when eating wheat based products.
She explained so much that morning that I can't remember it all but she was saying there are two types of reactions to dairy, soya and one of these will not show up on a skin prick test that the only way you can tell you have the allergy is by doing an elimination of them, so he has been prescribed a milk which contains no dairy or milk protein at all and he is also not to have any baby food which contain the soya, milk, or wheat.
I left with three recipe books for children with milk allergies and I also left with information on soya, wheat and egg allergies. I felt quite overwhelmed by the time I came out of there, it all sounded so complicated and I left wondering how on earth I was going to feed my baby if he was not allowed any of the things that make up majority of food.
Upon returning home I read all the leaflets and recipe books and it came to light just how much he could not have, the poor boy can't even have a normal first birthday cake, what will he have for party food? That was the first thought that crossed my mind, how is he going to have a nice birthday tea if he can't even dig in and enjoy. I did have a few tears that day but by the time night fell I was feeling a bit better.
I had logged onto Boots and went through every baby jar food that they owned checking all the ingredients and writing down what he could have and the next day I went into Boots and got some baby food and I was amazed at how many jars there were which did not have the above ingredients – this was going to be easier then I thought with him being a baby, I instantly felt better.
I am still dreading the future and how long it will take him to out grow it. What will I feed him when he can have finger foods? It frustrates me when I think about it so I try not to at the moment. We already have an appointment through the post for his almost one year check up, four days before his birthday on the 11th February 2014, I think then they will try to introduce things one by one to see how we get on.

Anna Nicole Smith's 6-Year-Old Daughter May Inherit $49 Million
A judge has ruled that Anna Nicole's Smith's daughter, Dannielynn, is entitled to sanctions from the estate of the late model's billionaire former husband, J. Howard Marshall.
Dannielynn, Smith's son with her lover Larry Birkhead, could receive as much as $49 million.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter found that Marshall's estate representatives had used unsavory methods to hide crucial documents from Smith's lawyers during a lengthy legal battle and ordered the executors to pay sanctions to the model's six-year-old daughter.
Marshall and Smith were married for a year when he died in 1995. Afterwards, she fought his son and other family members for a large portion of his fortune up until she died from an accidental drug overdose in 2007.
In 2011, a Supreme Court Chief Justice in Washington, D.C. overturned a prior ruling to give Smith's family $475 million. In a reverse ruling, a judge has ordered executors to pay sanctions to Dannielynn.
Phil Boesch, lawyer of Smith's estate, told Forbes.com, "This is a complete vindication of Anna Nicole's rights, and a total condemnation of what was done to her. We are confident that the amount Anna's estate and daughter Dannielynn will finally be awarded will be fair and substantial."
Meanwhile, former Private Practice star Agnes Bruckner will play the model in a new TV movie on Lifetime. The film will tell the story of how small-town Texas girl Vicky Lynn Hogan became blonde bombshell Smith.

PETA India Do Things Their Own Way
PETA India's Campaign Coordinator, Rohini Kamath, just sent me some photos from a couple of protests that she and her colleagues held this week to draw attention to, respectively, the cruelty of the dairy industry, and the hypocrisy inherent in eating meat and trying to save the environment at the same time. Check 'em out:
And …
PETA India — you guys are, hands down, my favorite PETA affiliate. OK, fine, I say that to all the affiliates, but I'm totally smitten with that globe-eating demonstration. Keep up the great work.
Commenting is closed.
That's really wonderful thing to do. Wish I was there too. Some body tell me how to become a member of PETA online in hyderabad
This is just disterbing in so many different ways! Why would someone want to look at that?! I think it is the people who made this are crazy! Thank you
hey i only just read this just to let you know 'Doodh' is hindi for milk!
Yah! Treehugging veghead Indians rock my socks!!!
I love that globe and the message it can send!
Haha wowWay to go PETA India!
This beautiful action from PETA India needs my very special attention! I'm a huge fan of ancient India and I just admired the report on the 'Roadkill'site edited by 'Rama Das'! This is really great but unfortunately we have also to consider that today's cows are often not very well treated in modern India they are abused in a horrible way in dairy and leather industry. Modern time Indians often forget that the cow is our mother and has to be treated with respect! Thank you PETA India also for telling the people that one cannot be a real environmentalist and a meat eater in the same time!

Building a Better Teacher
Dean Robert C. Pianta, Curry School of Education
Dean of the Curry School of Education Robert Pianta is also director of the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). Under his leadership, the work produced at CASTL over the past ten years is now having enormous impact on our nation's schools.
In 2007, Congress required Head Start, the largest early childhood development program in the United States, to include performance standards in its program monitoring. Head Start chose CASTL's Classroom Assessment Scoring System tool for its nationwide improvement efforts. The tool measures how teachers provide the emotional, organizational, and instructional supports that students need for academic and social achievement.
For Pianta, one of the most rewarding aspects of CASTL is the feedback he gets from teachers across the country. "I was in New Orleans last spring, giving a talk at Tulane, and a woman from the community who works in the Head Start program came up and told me how valuable the tools were that we developed," he said. "The energy and emotion and enthusiasm that she had about it really made me feel like we're doing something worthwhile, and I can tell you that happens every single time I walk out the door to talk about what we do."
But in order to continue to have impact on a national level, researchers at CASTL rely on private support. "We've been very fortunate to have federal grants support our work, but that's a treadmill," Pianta said. "Every person on staff works as hard as one can possibly work just to meet the demands of those federal projects and write the next grant proposal. We have very little time to sit back and think about what we're doing now, and what we need to do, what's the next big innovation."
Longtime supporter of the University, William A. Marr, Jr. (College'67), recently made a generous gift to support CASTL research. "They've hit upon something very special: improving education by the more efficient use of teacher training dollars," he said. Gifts such as Mr. Marr's allow the center to focus on innovation, retain world-class talent at UVA, and to stay competitive with the very best private institutions.
"I'd love to have the time and support to really get creative again. What's the next breakthrough?" Pianta said. CASTL researchers would like to work with virtual reality systems, where they could begin to assess biological markers of teachers' interactions with students. What makes a teacher anxious in a given moment of classroom interaction? What makes a teacher feel confident? "There are many things we could do with additional funding," Pianta said. "To be able to secure support for innovation is extraordinarily important."

Cobalt Software Platform - Mark43
Mark43's Cobalt software platform unites a set of law enforcement tools securely...
No upcoming webinars scheduled
Morphix Technologies, a manufacturer of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, has announced that its TraceX Explosives Detection Kit has received a 4.32 out of a possible 5 points from the National Tactical Officers Association Member Tested and Recommended Program. Morphix Technologies can now display the NTOA Member Tested and Recommended Logo on its marketing materials.
The TraceX Explosives Detection Kit was developed by Morphix Technologies under contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and meets its demanding requirements. Designed small enough to fit into a cargo pocket, lightweight and rugged, both testing field officers commented on how "very durable, safe and easy-to-use" the kit proved to be.
One field testing officer continued, "the self-contained testing kit keeps all testing chemicals contained within itself, providing no harmful exposure to users. The test and results are all conducted and displayed within the unit, simplifying the procedure and removing the possibility of user error and the resulting consequences.
