He will tell you that fight with you and Kat is fix, that he will use poison barbs (and secretly you,) to take her (and you) down. His reason for this is to satisfy the coliseum's audience's entertainment, which would provided power for his God. Depending on your actions, like having the timing to save Kat or not when the barbs start flying, you can have her in your party, as well as Rand, when you confront Augus again, who then transforms into a giant two-headed wolf demon, telling a vague description of his "master plan" before going into battle. After the battle, he tells the heroes that "It's too late. The seed is planted. Our God's world is coming, closer and closer..." and he then destroyed. Rand remarks that the reason he was so evil was because he was possessed by a demon.

Where I stayed
Harbor View Hotel Edgartown
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Read my review - 5/5 stars
We leave the hotel mid morning and head south toward Martha's Vineyard (MV). At first we are travelling the scenic route but going is slow and MV beckons. The GPS is changed from Scenic to Quickest and we join the rapidly flowing traffic on Route 3.
Time passes quickly (as does the lines dotted on the road) and we are soon at the entrance to the ferry service from Woods Hole To Vineyard Haven. We are early for our booked place on the 2.30 pm crossing but the gatekeeper waves us to hurry as he has one more space we can take on the 1.15 pm crossing which is ready to sail.
Once across we decide to explore the island of MV from one side to the other
The main street of Edgartown is filled with quaint timber buildings, many of which were home to wealthy sea captains and merchants from the whaling industry of the early 1800's.
After a walk around the town in the unseasonally mild dusk, we enjoy a meal at the Hotel's restaurant before retiring for a peaceful sleep
WHOOO!! WHOOO!! WHOOO!! we startle awake to a noise that resembles a ship's fog horn in a misty sea. The only difference is that the noise is emenating from a speaker in our room.
After gathering our senses and realising what is happening, we throw on whatever clothing is at hand and make for the exit doors in case the fire alarm is signifying a reality.
Of course there is no fire, but to be sure we are left to shiver in the fresh early hours of daylight whilst the police check for any signs of smoke or fire. (I don't know what happened to the fire brigade - they didn't show up!). After the all clear was given in the reception and restaurant area, everyone was treated to a complimentary breakfast as a gesture of goodwill.
After departing the Harbor View Hotel, we soak up some more ambience of this unique little town and then head for the return ferry at Vineyard Haven. From Woods Hole we turn west for Newport, Rhode Island on our circular way to the evening's destination of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

The Los Angeles Police Department last week dispatched a squad car to comic Russell Brand's home in the Hollywood Hills after a 911 caller claimed two armed men were approaching the house.
When the police arrived, only the housekeeper was at home. The call was a hoax and Brand was the latest target of "celebrity swatting", a craze sweeping Hollywood.
Swatting's name comes from the armed Swat teams that answer 911 calls about a violent crime in progress. The callers are skilled at the pretence, describing the gunmen, hostages and the wounded in lurid detail.
About 400 such incidents are reported each year in the United States, but they have gained greater prominence since pranksters turned their attention last year to LA's entertainment community.
California lawmakers are drafting legislation to combat the phenomenon, including forcing those convicted to pay for the cost of the response. A swatting of actor Ashton Kutcher cost about US$10,000 ($11,640) for 42 police officers, a helicopter and several fire trucks.

I had my second rhinoplasty almost 6 month ago. My nose was shortened and narrowed. The bone swelling has settled down. But the whole cartilage "area", not just the tip is almost bigger than before. And the tip is still long and droopy from the front. I have called my "busy" surgeon, but his assistants advised me to wait. I am not sure if my nose is swollen and if it gets smaller. I am worried that it is scar tissue, because my nose has not really changed for months.
Is my Nose Still Swollen or is It Scar Tissue? Will my Nose Get Smaller? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Is my Nose Still Swollen or is It Scar Tissue? Will my Nose Get Smaller?
The nose may still get smaller at six months post Revision Rhinoplasty but from the photos provided I'm not sure the tip asymmetry would change. You would have to discuss this with your Rhinoplasty Surgeon and perhaps have some consultations and other opinions on the matter.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Swelling after revision rhinoplasty
After 6 months most of the swelling will have resolved, and you can only expect very subtle changes. Your surgeonneeds to see you and have an open discussion. I would agree that the area above the tip is rounded and swollen which is a classic post rhinoplasty undesirable result ( supratip deformity or "poly beak"), and virtually always requires revisional surgery to correct.. Your upper nose looks possibly low ( over resected), although it is difficult to tell on these pictures. If your primary surgeon is unresponsive, I would suggest seeking another opinion. Sometimes swellling will respond to careful steroid injections, and that is worth a try.
Revision Rhinoplasty Tip
I am very sorry to say, but if your pictures are accurate, I don't think you will be happy with the final result. You continue to have some classic problems that won't improve much with another 6 months.
#1 the dorsum is over-resected
#2 the supratip area is too rounded and you lack a supratip break (pollybeak deformity)
#3 columella is long
#4 tip is overprojected
When a typically overgrown septum (tension nose), which you probably had before your first surgery, is not adequately addressed then the final result looks like what you have. While I agree that the final result from a rhinoplasty can take up to a year before you see it, you should be much closer to the look you want. About the only thing I see that may slightly improve is the supratip fullness with a Kenalog injection, but even that will provide minimal improvement. I will post a link to a photo of a revision patient I cared for who had a very similar problem. I wish you the best.

Collin Klein looks to be running away with it, but there's still time. Just three weeks ago we thought Geno Smith was running away with it. That's why this is the Heisman tracker -- not projector. There is still time for say, a Kenjon Barner, to step up and make a late-season push. Barner still sits in the No. 3 hole this week in the ESPN.com poll, tied with AJ McCarron. Three other Pac-12 players picked up votes -- including Marqise Lee, who had been absent from the poll for a couple of weeks. Here's how the Pac-12 players shake out. As always, you can see the results of the weekly ESPN.com poll here.
Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
Week 9 numbers: Carried nine times for 104 yards with two touchdowns. He also caught two balls for 47 yards.
Season numbers: Has 141 carries for 974 yards (6.9 average) with 14 rushing touchdowns. Has 13 catches for 158 yards and a score.
What went well: Everything. Barner is the most complete running back in the country right now.
Any questions? Is there enough time for him to make a serious push? The USC game doesn't carry as much weight as it did in the preseason, but it's still going to bring a lot of East Coast and national eyes on the Ducks.
Others receiving votes
De'Anthony Thomas, RB/WR, Oregon
Week 9 numbers: Carried five times for 97 yards and a touchdown. Had one reception for nine yards and one unbelievable punt return for a touchdown.
Season numbers: Has 58 carries for 499 yards with seven rushing touchdowns and has caught 24 balls for 218 yards and three scores.
Thoughts: Absolutely ridiculous athleticism and speed, as evidenced by the punt return. The punt return is exactly why he belongs in the conversation. But with all of the touches Barner is getting, expect many to start throwing their votes toward Oregon's other back as things get tighter.
Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Week 9 numbers: Completed 31 of 49 passes for 493 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Season numbers: Has completed 171 of 262 attempts (65.3 percent) with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Thoughts: Statistically, there were lots of season highs for Barkley -- including completions, attempts and yards. But the two picks were killers and being saddled with the loss hurts. This weekend is a last-gasp effort for him.
Marqise Lee, WR, USC
Week 9 numbers: Caught 16 balls for a Pac-12 record 345 yards with two touchdowns.
Season numbers: Has 76 catches for 1,129 yards with 10 touchdowns.
Thoughts: He probably won't get an invite to New York for the Heisman, but he might have locked up the Biletnikoff Award last Saturday.

No. 15/17 Georgia Wins Series Opener Against South Carolina 6-2
Highlights and interviews with head coach Lu Harris-Champer and sophomore Gerri Ann Glasco, who had 5 RBI, following Georgia's 6-2 win over South Carolina
April 4, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. - Geri Ann Glasco collected five RBIs, including a three-run home run, to lead the No. 15/17 Georgia Bulldogs to a 6-2 win over South Carolina in the series opener on a windy Friday night at Jack Turner Stadium. With the win the Bulldogs improve to 32-5 and 7-3 in Southeastern Conference play. The Gamecocks dropped to 24-13 on the year and 5-8 in league play. Also with the loss, South Carolina continued their losing streak in Athens, which dates back to 2001.
Chelsea Wilkinson got her 19th start of the season and threw a complete game for the 15th time this campaign, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks, while striking out seven and improving her record to 19-3. Julie Sarratt started the game for South Carolina and allowed six runs, four earned, on four hits in five innings of work. Sarratt's record fell to 11-9 on the year. Nickie Blue also saw time in the circle for the Gamecocks, as she threw the final inning of the game.
Glasco provided two crucial hits for the Bulldogs. In the first inning she hit a two-run single with the bases loaded, giving Georgia a 2-0 lead. Her second big hit came in the fifth when she smashed a three-run homer, scoring the final runs of the ballgame, securing the 6-2 victory. On the day, she went 2-for-3 with a five RBI.
Georgia got on the board early in the first inning, when Glasco came through with the bases loaded. Paige Wilson became the Bulldogs' first base runner when she took a pitch to the ribs. Following her, Alex Hugo drew a walk and Kaylee Puailoa was reached on an error by the shortstop. Glasco was then able to take advantage of the situation and ripped a two-run single into left field
In the top of the second, South Carolina responded with a run of its own when Chelsea Hawkins smacked a solo shot over the fence in left center, cutting the Bulldog lead to 2-1.
Georgia extended their lead by a run in the fourth to take a 3-1 lead. Tina Iosefa led off the inning with a walk before Niaja Griffin came in to run for her at first. The decision proved wise, as Griffin moved to third on a sharply hit grounder in the hole at second by Wilkinson. With a runner at third, Bethany Beggs hit a sacrifice fly to left field, the throw beat the runner to home by a hair, but Griffin slid around the catcher to avoid the tag and score the third Bulldog run.
In the fifth South Carolina closed the Georgia lead to one again. Codee Yeske doubled and then two batters later Lauren Masters knocked Yeske in with a two out single to left.
Georgia got a little breathing room in the fifth, extending the lead to four at 6-2. With one out Wilson and Hugo hit back-to-back singles, then two batters later Glasco came to the plate again with multiple runners on base. Like she did in the first, Glasco took advantage, as she hit a three run blast right over the right field foul pole. It was Glasco's sixth home run of the year, good for third on the team.
The Bulldogs return to action tomorrow, April 5 at 2 p.m., in game two of the series against South Carolina at Jack Turner Stadium.

Last fall, Freeport high-schooler Kevin Henthorn's The Art of Walking won the Film of the Year award in the Phoenix's Maine Short Film Festival. Now, the same scruffy, laid-back dude is blowing up another art form — theater — with his one-act play, Conversations in a Box.
The production served as Freeport High School's victorious entry into the Maine Principals' Association One Act Drama Festival. It's an "absurdist play," Henthorn tells us, "about a boy who wakes up in a box," and then meets several different characters as he tries to figure out why he's there, and how to get out.
"When I read the script I was blown away," faculty director Tim Ryan wrote in his program notes. "I shared the script with a couple of fellow teachers who were also in awe of the story that this student had written."
So were the judges. Conversations in a Box won the regional competition at Falmouth High School on March 8, and will advance to the finals in Cape Elizabeth this weekend. Freeport and Morse High Schools are the only two schools (out of 78) that produce student-written plays for the festival (the rest use already-existing works). If Conversations in a Box wins the whole shebang, it'll be the first time that a student-written play has done so.
So which medium does this jack of artistic trades prefer? Henthorn can't say. Although the 17-year-old senior is hoping to go to film school next fall (he's already been accepted into a few programs, and is still waiting to hear from a handful of others), he appreciates the fermentation time that the theater affords — longer rehearsal and performance periods allow him to work more with the actors, and to watch his play evolve.
The MPA's festival experience provides for this type of evolution; after round one, the judges provide critiques that ensembles can apply for the finals. Henthorn and his cast have been tweaking some minor bits over the past couple of weeks, but they don't have that much to improve — after the regional competition, one of the judges called Conversations "the best theater I've seen in a long time."

Connect Transit Providing a "Safe Place" for At-Risk YouthFebruary 6, 2013
Project Oz Vice President Lisa Thompson (far left), Connect Transit Spokesman Dave White (middle), and Project Oz Street Outreach Specialist Cheris Larson (far right) in front of a Connect Transit bus with a decal of the Safe Place logo, photo by Dave White of Connect Transit. Photo by News Bulletin staff.
NORMAL — It isn't hard for at-risk youth in Bloomington-Normal to find help.
Runaway teens and young people who feel threated or unsafe can find help at their nearest bus stop, thanks to a partnership between Project Oz and Connect Transit, Inc.
Connect Transit recently started participating in the Safe Place program that Project Oz, a social service organization that serves Bloomington-Normal, has been participating in since 2008.
Safe Place is a national outreach and prevention program designed to provide immediate access to help for youth experiencing abuse, neglect or other crisis situations, such as riding with an unsafe driver or being followed by a stranger. Safe Place communities offer a network of businesses, public locations and mobile units that display the bright yellow and black, diamond-shaped Safe Place logo.
"The point of having a nationally-branded symbol (logo) is that, if I'm a runaway from Bloomington and end up in Texas, I see that same sign in Texas at a Walgreens or a McDonalds, I know exactly what that sign means," said Project Oz Vice President Lisa Thompson. "It's really a safety network across the United States, but it does tend to be used at the local level.
"A community may have a McDonalds, they may have a gas station, they may partner with local businesses — it really just depends on the community. The sign is universal. They want it to be kind of branded for young people: if I need help that's where I can go."
Project Oz provides Safe Place locations at eight fire stations, including five in Bloomington and three in Normal, as well as the Jesus Coffeehouse, 806 W. Locust St., Bloomington. Connect Transit, Inc. recently started providing a mobile Safe Place location for young people in Bloomington-Normal.
"It's a mobile Safe Place site," said Thompson. "Any young person between the ages of 10 to 17 who feels threatened, have run away and maybe doesn't want to turn themselves into the police department or needs to talk with a counselor, can board the bus and just tell the driver, 'I'm here for Safe Place.'
Connect Transit, Inc. will waive the bus fare for those participating in the Safe Place program. The public transit system has trained all of its bus drivers to assist young people who board a bus for the Safe Place program.
"The way I've explained it to drivers is, kids won't always come up and tell you right off the bat that they're in need of help," said Connect Transit Spokesman Dave White. "You might have somebody who gets on and pays and sits down and rides the bus while they try to make up their mind. If something like that happens they have to be prepared for it. They also have to be prepared for a youth that might come up to the front door and ask for help and then they might not have anything on their person except for the clothes that they wore when they walked out the front door."
Each of the 42 fixed route and special services Connect Transit buses have a decal of the Safe Place logo posted on it.
"All of our buses have a yellow diamond shaped decal that's supplied near the front boarding door and that says 'Safe Place,'" said White. "Whether they're fixed route buses or smaller paratransit buses, every bus on every route is marked as a 'Safe Place.'"
The bus driver provides a secure place for the youth to wait while he or she contacts Project Oz, who sends someone to offer help and support. The staff at Project Oz are trained and ready to respond, and will help the youth access safety through their offices or their emergency shelter network.
Young people also can go straight to Connect Transit headquarters, 351 Wylie Dr., Normal, during its normal business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to access help.
Safe Place was established in 1983. Since then, more than 240,000 young people have accessed help at a Safe Place site or contacted their local youth shelter after learning about Safe Place at a school
To find out where the nearest Safe Place site is, young people can text the word SAFE and their current address to 69866.

Initiative Process: Money Doesnt Buy Success at Ballot Box
In the weeks following the general election, many media stories have focused public attention on the vast sums spent on political advertising, most notably the millions devoted to a small number of initiatives. These huge financial expenditures have led many political observers to conclude that Californias initiative process has been captured and manipulated by wealthy special interests. Citizen initiatives sponsored by grassroots organizations are increasingly threatened, they argue, in an era when staggering amounts are spent by economic powers such as tobacco interests or the insurance industry to influence outcomes at the ballot box.
However, in a soon-to-be-published report for the Public Policy Institute of California, Interest Group Influence in the California Initiative Process, researcher Elisabeth Gerber finds just the opposite. Not only do economic groups lack the unbridled influence commonly claimed by critics of the initiative process, the millions they pour into special interest campaigns may even be self-defeating, suggesting to voters that the proposed legislation is unlikely to be in their own interest.
Given the current debate, I thought it would be helpful to send you an advance copy of this important report. A number of Gerbers findings challenge the conventional wisdom, including:

|Accommodating Curvature in a Highly Ordered Functionalized Metal Oxide Nanofiber: Synthesis, Characterization, and Multiscale Modeling of Layered Nanosheets
|O'Dwyer, C.; Gannon, G.; McNulty, D.; Buckley, D.N.; Thompson, D., 2012
|A key element in the rational design of hybrid organic–inorganic nanostructures is control of surfactant packing and adsorption onto the inorganic phase in crystal growth and assembly. In layered single crystal nanofibers and bilayered two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets of vanadium oxide, we show how the chemisorption of preferred densities of surfactant molecules can direct the formation of ordered, curved layers. The atom-scale features of the structures are described using molecular dynamics simulations that quantify surfactant packing effects and confirm the preference for a density of 5 dodecanethiol molecules per 8 vanadium attachment sites in the synthesized structures. This assembly maintains a remarkably well ordered interlayer spacing, even when curved. The assemblies of interdigitated organic bilayers on V2O5 are shown to be sufficiently flexible to tolerate curvature while maintaining a constant interlayer distance without rupture, delamination, or cleavage. The accommodation of curvature and invariant structural integrity points to a beneficial role for oxide-directed organic film packing effects in layered architectures such as stacked nanofibers and hybrid 2D nanosheet systems.

Salvador Sanchez II returns to the U.S.
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Salvador Sanchez II, the nephew of the late great Salvador Sanchez, is ready to make his return to the U.S. for a bout sometime in September. With the anniversary 30th of his uncle's passing just around the corner (August 12th), the timing could not be better for Sanchez who is ranked #9 by the WBC and has a record of 30-4-3 and holds the WBC CABOFE featherweight belt. "I am now ready for my return to the US. We had some great fights in Mexico which we used to gain the necessary experience for title contention and now I want the winner of the Johnny Gonzalez and Ponce de Leon fight. We were scheduled to fight Gonzalez on July 7 but an agreement couldn't be reached," said Sanchez II.

Highway 24 traffic backed up due to Camp Lejeune ID checks
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - You may see a major traffic backup on Highway 24 from both directions. That's because officials at Camp Lejeune are doing ID and vehicle registration checks at the base entrances, according to Nat Fahy of Camp Lejeune Public Affairs.
Fahy, who says he's been stuck in traffic for the last hour, says these checks are done at random to make sure those who are entering base are authorized to be there.
He adds that there are currently no threats toward Camp Lejeune or any accidents that have caused the backup.

5 Dreamy Vegan Valentine's Day Proposals
We're fantasizing about special love-day proposals that are sure to sweep any food-loving vegan off their cruelty-free feet.
I have spent the last eight or so Valentine's Days on my own, engaging in activities that ranged from crying into a pint of dairy-free ice cream to YOLO-ing it at a club with similarly single friends. This year, I managed to score a nice-lookin' love-day partner and as of this week, my very not-vegan boyfriend and I have been together for just over one month. Needless to say, the idea of marriage is far in the future—and I'm not even sure I'm the type that wants to get hitched. However, a girl can still dream about the romantic ways in which she wants to be swept off her feet. While fantasy proposals often involve beautiful scenery and grand gestures, I'm really just into vegan food. So without further ado, these are my five dreamy, food-centric Valentine's Day proposals.
Cocktails by (and with) Chloe
Spending a casual afternoon at by CHLOE in New York's West Village is already a dream come true (if I can get a seat, that is), but this Valentine's Day, the vegan eatery has some pretty enticing specials that set the stage for a perfect proposal. We would order the "Beet Mine Burger" to start, which features a ruby-hued beet and lentil patty, sautéed oyster mushrooms and kale, pickled onions, and truffled basil aioli. We'd proceed to get tipsy with the help of Chloe's "The Merry Valentine" cocktail—an array of pink juices spiked with tequila and sweetened with raw agave. When we're a few cocktails deep, he'll pull out a baked vegan onion ring—which he made the night before following by CHLOE's recipe—and slip it onto my finger while I sob tears of joy. As a bonus, I'd request that Chloe Coscarelli herself be on hand just in case I need a recovery shot of kale-infused something or other.
Romance at Romagna
If the whole by CHLOE thing falls apart (as onion rings aren't too sturdy), we'll head over to the other side of Bleecker street to classic Italian eatery Romagna. The restaurant started veganizing at the beginning of the month after the Veganizer herself—Kiki Adami—planted the seed of potential vegan success within chef/owner Lorenzo Lorenzi's heart. I used to speak Italian when I was a kid, and his second generation Italian roots—by way of Long Island, NY—mean that he sort of does, too. It would be a great place to practice our language skills, and maybe for him to ask some important questions in Italiano.
Date at the drive-thru
The boyfriend lives in Northern California's wine country, and while you'd think a proposal at a lush vineyard would do the trick, I'm leaning more toward Amy's Drive-thru in nearby Rohnert Park. He has been dining there regularly and speaks very highly of the vegan broccoli mac n' cheese. What's more, he's spotted regular-Joe construction workers eating everything from burritos to burgers from the very vegan-friendly fast-food joint. I picture us sitting at one of the booths, looking lovingly into each others' eyes in between bites of The Amy—a double-decker beast of a burger complete with vegan cheese and spicy sauce. He'd stand up on the table, and before being apprehended by the staff, would pop the big question. At which point, I would make sure all that sauce was fully wiped from my face.
"Will you carry me?"
Here's a secret: I live in San Francisco and vegan cinnamon roll shop Cinnaholic is a short train ride away in Berkeley. Despite this, I have yet to sample their fluffy, customizeable creations. I'd love it if on Valentine's Day, every single one of those mouthwatering cinnamon rolls had "will you marry me?" swirled all over the tops in different frosting flavors (peanut butter, raspberry, salted caramel; I'll take them all!) I would have to bite into at least 10 of those sweet, sweet pastries, would likely fall into a sugar coma, and then lose use of my legs so he'd have to piggyback me back to the car.
Classic chocolate box
Vegan chocolate company No Whey Foods is fully on-board with Valentine's Day, and features several candy options. The Heart Truffle Box is filled with an assortment of vegan chocolates in flavors such as milk-like fudge, raspberry, coffee, and salted caramel, with some drizzled in vegan white chocolate. Now, this box comes in two sizes and if he knows me, he'll go for the large one—stuffed with a whopping 25 truffles. I will attack this box with such fervor he'll forget to tell me that there's an engagement ring nestled somewhere between all the chocolate. And everyone knows that nothing screams "this one's a keeper" like watching your girlfriend plow through an entire box of chocolate, even if she accidentally swallows a paycheck's worth of jewelry.
Happy Valentine's Day, boyfriend. Also: no presh.
Anna Starostinetskaya is a news writer at VegNews and hopes that her boyfriend, Robert, isn't embarrassed by all this wacky banter.

Family of Whitefish man killed in police shooting speaks out
MISSOULA, Mont. - The family of a Flathead County man killed during a police shooting in Weed, California, is blaming the man's death on mental health issues and an excessive use of force by officers.
According to the Weed Police Department, 32-year-old Steven Hughes Henning, of Whitefish, was shot to death by officers during a violent struggle in Weed on Thursday night.
Police say they were attempting to arrest Henning for starting an illegal fire, but he allegedly resisted, and was able steal a policeman's taser, flee officers, and fight with a police dog before being shot by both a police officer and sheriff's deputy.
We reached out to Henning's family members, who are from Whitefish. They say Henning has a history of mental illness, for which they blame previous run ins with law enforcement. They say they don't believe Henning was armed, and think the use of deadly force was unjustified.
"He's portrayed as somebody who did drugs, and led the police on a rampage,"said Henning's brother, Cody Henning. "That's wasn't the case, it was the onset of his mental disorder."
"What we want to bring out in this story, and certainly bring to light, is the justification of killing a mentally ill person over such a small thing," said brother Ryan Henning.
This shooting is still under investigation.
The following is a press release on the incident from the Weed Police Department:
On October 24, 2013 at about 9:15 p.m., Weed Police Department and Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office personnel encountered a male adult in the vicinity of Shastina Drive at the Interstate 5 overcrossing who was wanted for an unprovoked and vicious attack ...against a Weed Police Department officer earlier in the evening. During this earlier encounter with the suspect that occurred at the Greyhound Bus Stop on South Weed Boulevard, the suspect was contacted after he committed an act of arson by starting a fire on the wood porch immediately in front of the building, presenting a major fire and public safety hazard. When contacted, the suspect refused to extinguish the fire and aggressively and violently resisted arrest, despite an attempt by the officer to subdue him with a Conducted Energy Device (Taser). During the progressively escalating altercation, the suspect jumped into the officer's patrol unit and attempted to steal the police vehicle. The officer used pepper spray in an attempt to subdue the suspect and again attempted to arrest the highly aggressive suspect as a volatile struggle occurred inside the patrol unit.
The suspect violently resisted, exited the patrol unit, and fled the scene on foot after picking up the officer's Conducted Energy Device (Taster), after it dropped to the ground during the struggle. An immediate search of the area was initiated by the Weed Police Department, Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) and California Highway Patrol (CHP). Local officers and deputies encountered the suspect near the freeway overcrossing while canvassing the area on a state right-of-way near the I-5 overcrossing. After attempting to subdue him with a law enforcement canine, the suspect violently resisted, attempted to injure the canine and during the extremely violent encounter the level of violence exhibited by the suspect escalated and the officer and deputy discharged their firearms and the suspect was struck. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident. Identification has been withheld, pending notification of his next-of-kin.
Investigators from the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office, Weed Police Department, California Highway Patrol's Mount Shasta Area and Northern Division commands, and the Siskiyou County District Attorney's Office responded to the scene. The CHP and the California Department of Justice Crime Lab (Redding) is assisting with evidence collection and processing. The case is under investigation. The Siskiyou County District Attorney's Office, with assistance from the CHP, is handling the criminal investigation. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office and the Weed Police Department are each handling the administrative Officer-Involved Shooting Investigation(s). Anyone with information about the suspect's actions or activities prior to the shooting or, anyone witnessing the initial assault against the Weed Police Officer at the bus station or the altercation near the I-5 overcrossing and Shastina Drive scene are urged to contact Supervising Detective Marc Perrin of the District Attorney's Criminal Investigative Bureau, at 842-8125.

Offbeat Israel: Why Is the Jerusalem Post Producing the 'Boringist' Video?
Israel practiced for war on Tuesday As part of a week of nationwide drills that have taken simulations of wartime civil defense operations to every town and city in the country, bomb sirens sounded at 11 a.m.
Civilians, including school and kindergarten children, made their way in to bomb shelters or reinforced rooms, in a simulation of what they would do in the case of a real alert. The population had printed guidelines on what to do, available in Hebrew, Amharic, Arabic, Russian, English, Arabic and Yiddish, among other languages.
Scenarios included in the week of drills include a multiple missile attack on Haifa, a chemical warfare strike on Eilat, and an internal intifada led by Israeli Arabs. Hospitals are practicing for receiving patients injured in chemical attacks.
After today's sirens, civil defense forces are dealing with sirens that did not sound loudly enough.
This rather serious operation has provided a few laughs. The best two come courtesy of two of the country's newspapers. Of course, speculation has been rife as to whether, motivating such a large-scale operation, the military knows something we don't. Ma'ariv ran a headline saying "The Air Force is Training for War with Iran," which led to an Air Force officer being widely quoted saying: "Of course we are training for war; that is what armies do."
The second comes from the Jerusalem Post. Multimedia attached to news articles is all the rage, and the Post has just made a unique contribution to this practice by posting a video that apparently describes itself as "the world's boringest video."
This video, which is posted alongside an article on the Post website and accessible directly through YouTube, will silence any critics of Israel's oldest English newspaper out there. When, just after two minutes, a Post employee makes the prediction that "It's going to be the world's boringest video," she proves that, whatever they say, the power of judgment of the Jerusalem Post's staff is second-to-none.

The whole genome sequenced rhizobacterium FZB42 (Chen et al., 2007) and other plant-associated Bacillus strains either designated as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or Bacillus subtilis are used commercially to promote growth and health of crop plants. Previous investigations revealed that the strains represent an own ecotype related to B. amyloliquefaciens, however its exact taxonomic position remains elusive (Reva et al., 2004). Here we have demonstrated ability to colonize Arabidopsis roots for a group of Bacillus strains, closely related to FZB42. According to their phenotypic traits the strains were similar to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM 7T, but differed considerably in DNA sequences of the genes encoding 16S rRNA, gyrase subunit A (gyrA), and histidine kinase (cheA) from the type strain. Phylogenetic analysis performed with partial 16S rRNA, gyrA, and cheA sequences revealed that plant-associated Bacillus strains including FZB42 form a lineage, which can be discriminated from the cluster of strains closely related to B. amyloliquefaciens DSM 7T. DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) performed with genomic DNAs from DSM 7T and FZB42 yielded 63.7 to 71.2 % homology. As complementary approach, we used several genomic methods, as direct whole genome comparison, digital DDH, and microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (M-CGH). Plant-associated strains were discriminated from DSM 7T and B. subtilis type strain by their different potential to synthesize non-ribosomally lipopeptides and polyketides. According to the differences found in marker gene sequences and the whole genomes, we propose the two B. amyloliquefaciens subspecies, 'plantarum' for their plant-associated, and 'amyloliquefaciens', for their non-plant associated representatives. This is in line with results of DDH, MCGH, and the MALDI TOF mass spectrometry of cellular components which are justifying that both ecovars represent two different subspecies.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you probably know that Facebook is undergoing extensive changes ranging from the layout, to the addition of timeline, to next version of Open Graph protocol, to the new Insight metrics, to API changes and Ad integration, to social app discovery on mobile and more . It's enough to make a regular Facebook user frustrated, but it's even more challenging for marketers and social media managers who are trying to figure out how all these changes will affect their business. This inspired us at MutualMind to develop this 4-part blog series to demystify the changes to Facebook. We'll review the overall changes, discuss what the changes mean to marketers large and small, offer insights into user reactions, and relay some of the potential long-term effects that will result from these developments.
Opinions About Facebook Changes Vary
You may want to check out the Facebook Developers blog for general details on how the new features will work, when they will be implemented, etc. This will give you a straightforward explanation of how all the features work, but it doesn't tell you much about how it will affect the way you will engage with Facebook in the future.
As a marketer, you can also start at the Marketing API page, for details on how to use the new open API system and the new metrics, but unless you are on the analytics or app development side of the spectrum, this explanation may be a little too technical for you. That brings you back to reading the reviews, blog posts and recommendations from industry experts. This can be daunting as even the trusted "Social Media Experts" are voicing opposing opinions about the new developments within the same channels. On one hand you've got the early adopters who are singing the praises of the new advertising model, while on the other the naysayers criticize the new user interface for being too complicated, and others still remain on the fence about how the changes will affect the medium in the long run.
Let's start with an overview of the changes.
Just the Facts
Here's an overall look at some of Facebook's most recent changes, categorized by user type.
User Profiles
- Improved Friends Lists – Optional categorization of friends. Can be used to give access to posts, photos and all other content
- Subscribe Button – Allows users to choose what they see from friends in their News Feed, hear from users including those who are not friends, and let other users hear from them, even if they are not friends
- Timeline – This feature allows a users old(er) activity to readily accessed by visitors to the user's profile. Facebook will autofill this section with major life changes (relationship status changes, new employers, etc.) and photos, but users can fill in the gaps.
- Graph Rank – Users' News Feed, Ticker, and Timeline will be based the users' engagement activity, showing only the updates that are scored as being most relevant to each user's Facebook activity.
- Open Graph – Allows for the integration of websites and pages outside of the Facebook network to be included in users' activities, i.e., posting to Facebook when you make an online ticket purchase on a third party site.
- New Insights Dashboard – appears as a tab on a company's Page and is only available to Page administrators.10 The dashboard lists the total number of fans, likes and now the "Friends of Fans" metric, which shows many people can be reached through a page's post via existing fans. It also shows how people ended up on the fan page, whether through an ad, a friend's post, or otherwise.
- "People Talking About this Page"- New Facebook specific analytic, displayed on all brand pages just below the number of Likes the page has. Metric includes: Liking the Page; posting to the Page's Wall; liking, sharing, or commenting on a post; RSVP'ing to an event; photo-tagging the Page; checking in at the brand's Place; and Liking or sharing a check-in deal.
Integrated Advertising Platform
- Marketing APIs – Now available to marketers building apps for their own use and to third party vendors or agencies who are building tools to use for clients or for licensing to other marketers.
- Page and Insights API are available without permission, but access to ads API has to be gained through application. Marketers must be able to demonstrate the ability to build significant value for users and marketers.
- Use of the Integrated Ad Platform is limited to three categories:
- Ads management applications – used to help launch and optimize Facebook advertising, including Ad content permutation, Customized targeting, Customized reporting and Advanced conversion tracking and rule-based optimization
- Cross platform integration- to generate, measure and amplify word of mouth.
- Vertical or niche APIs- to reach specific audiences or perform customized functions that Facebook does not currently offer.

Spotlight on Elderlaw:
An unfortunate reality for many families is that there will come a time when a loved one will no longer be able to manage his affairs. When an individual is alleged to be incapacitated because he or she is no longer able to provide for his own needs, and that person cannot adequately understand the consequences of his inability to do so, the court may appoint a guardian to act on his or her behalf.
The appointment of the guardian signals that the court has taken away the ability of the incapacitated person to make certain decisions and the guardian is now responsible for actions ranging from paying the incapacitated person's bills to deciding whether or not placement in a nursing home is appropriate.
There are varying degrees of guardianship and each alleged incapacitated person's proceeding is designed so that the specific powers of the guardian are tailored to the needs of the individual who has become incapacitated. For example, the court may determine that while an individual is unable to manage his or her finances, he is perfectly capable of taking care of personal needs such as bathing, dressing, and cooking.
The guardianship proceeding is a matter of public record, can be timeconsuming, and involves court and legal fees. Additionally, in the petition, and other related court filings, the person seeking to be appointed guardian must specify why the person alleged to be incapacitated can no longer take care of themselves.
While a guardianship proceeding is generally initiated by a friend or family member, in theory, anyone can seek to be appointed the guardian of another person. This can be a concern for families who have elderly loved ones out of state. There are legal solutions and steps that can be taken which can help obviate the need for the lengthy and expensive and public process of guardianship in the event that you become unable to make your own decisions. Through the use of documents known as "Advance Directives," one can appoint trusted agents (representatives) who will act for him if he later becomes incapacitated.
Completion of a health care proxy authorizes a competent person to appoint an agent, as well as a successor agent, who can make medical decision on his behalf if he is no longer able to speak for himself. An accompanying document, called a living will, memorializes instructions related to your medical care. This provides your agents a set of directives when making medical decisions, for example, not allowing the use of artificial nutrition.
A New York State Power of Attorney allows you to appoint one or multiple people to represent you in financial transactions. These agents may act on your behalf out of necessity (if you can no longer act) or convenience (because you're out of town). The important thing to remember is no one can override your wishes so long as you are legally competent to make your own decisions.
While it is difficult to think about the possibility that there will come a time where we cannot make decisions for ourselves, by doing appropriate and simple planning, it is very easy to avoid problems down the road and ensure that your wishes are being carried out by those who love you.

Wanting to learn as much as I can before jumping into getting a hive together.
Wanting to learn as much as I can before jumping into getting a hive together.
The only advice I can give you is based on what I wish I had done differently. It is true, do not only start with 1 hive. It is a challenge. You want a few hives so you can swap resources if needed. But don't go overboard and start with 10 either. It took me some time to efficiently do hive inspections. If I could do it all over again, I would have started with 3 hives.
I found that beekeeping for dummies was a great starting point. I suggest you read that book first. It will get you used to terminology and also discusses bee behavior. I don't think it should be the only book you read though. It is basically an introductory book that to me was a very easy read.
This forum is absolutely fantastic. The people have been nothing but an asset in helping me with my challenges. You have a lot of reading and building (hives) to do this winter.
Good luck to you, and maybe I will be knowledgeable enough in the spring to chime in and answer a question or two from you. And if I can't, fear not, there are many experienced and knowledgeable folks here who can.
Welcome! My first advice would be to find a mentor or bee club nearby.

- is true of automation. Look for high-value test cases—usually those that are repetitive but not necessarily complex—and automate them first. Then reinvest the time saved into more automation.
- Know when to say no: If your process is a mess and your team is under stress, wait until you can get your house in order and catch your breath before you tackle automation.
By observing these simple rules, you can get your automation tools off the shelf and whip your application into shape.

The Bob Marley Snowboard?
With stars like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, John Lennon and Elvis Presley continuing to sell music and other products after their deaths, the Bob Marley estate is looking to expand. During a Walkabout NY with Wall Street Journal reporter Lee Hawkins, Marley's son Rohan discussed the family's growing number of business ventures, including Marley Coffee and a new, limited edition snowboard called "The Whammy Bar Marley," which is part of Burton Snowboards' restricted collection. Did we mention that it almost never snows in Marley's native Jamaica?

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the role of the University Police department?
A: University Police has primary responsibility for developing and deploying services, programs and strategies for maintaining a reasonably safe campus. Specifically, University Police is responsible for crime prevention, law enforcement, emergency response, and for various other community services.
University Police patrol the campus on foot, bicycle, vehicle, scooter and motorcycle. University Police provides a full range of campus services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Some of these services include investigating reports of crimes, conducting follow-ups as necessary, and filing criminal charges or referring matters (as appropriate) to another departments. Police operations are supported by an Emergency Communications Center, which is staffed by trained and certified dispatchers who answer calls for service, dispatch officers and other emergency services to incidents, fire and environmental alarms.
Q: How do I report a crime or emergency?
A: There are several ways in which victims or witnesses can report crimes. For crimes in progress or crimes that just occurred, or in an emergency, it is best to dial 911. When calling 911, stay on the line and try to remain calm with your information ready. In Charlottesville, 911 calls go to the Emergency Communications Center. If fire and/or ambulance response is necessary on campus, those services are dispatched from ECC and University Police is notified.
You may also use the "silent watch" form on the University Police web site at www.virginia.edu/uvapolice
Please note silent watch should not be used to report crimes that are occurring presently and emergencies should also be reported using 911.
Q: How do I report a non-emergency?
A: In non-emergency situations, where there is no immediate threat to personal safety or property, contact University Police by dialing 434-924-7166.
Q: If I witness a crime or suspicious activity, what should I do?
A: If you witness a crime or suspicious activity, notify the campus police immediately by calling 911. Do not disturb any evidence. Information that would assist police in resolving the case:
Q: When I call the Police, what information should I have ready?
A: Make sure you are safe before calling. The information needed will vary based on what is being reported. The following is a list of questions that could be asked when you call for police service. Not all questions would be applicable to every call. The University Police Emergency Communication Center call taker may want to know:
Q: What is a "Blue Light" Police Emergency Phone?
A: Community members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Blue Light Police Emergency Phones located on the University of Virginia Campus. They are identifiable by the blue light on a pedestal. Pushing the emergency phone button will connect you directly to a University Police Services Division. Once the emergency phone button is pushed, the location of the activation is automatically transmitted to the University Police. If a caller doesn't speak or can't, an officer is immediately dispatched to the phone site. See the UVa police web page www.virginia.edu/uvapolice for maps indicating the locations of "Blue Light" Police Emergency Phones on campus.
There have also been several "Blue Light" phone installed in heavily populated areas off grounds. These phones ring directly to the 911 center.

Q: 11. How can I get a synopsis of a police report?
A: If you wish to receive a synopsis of a report contact the University of Virginia Police Department at (434)924–7166. The victim or reporting party of the incident may obtain a synopsis of the report for a $15.00 fee.
Q: Why does the police department send out alerts about crimes that occur on and near campus?
A: The Timely Warning
The Clery Act requires you to alert the campus community to certain crimes in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. All Title IV institutions, without exception, are subject to the timely warning regulation.
It's expected that even if you don't have all of the facts surrounding a criminal incident or incidents, you will issue a warning. You can then follow up with additional information as it becomes available.
When to Issue a Timely Warning
You must issue a timely warning for any Clery Act crime that occurs on your Clery geography:
Although the Clery Act mandates timely warnings only for Clery crimes, nothing in the law prohibits timely warnings for other crimes that may pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus community (e.g., a kidnapping on campus or a rash of robberies in a public parking lot across the street from the shopping plaza where your school is located).
Q: How can I get information on crime statistics and safety tips?
A: The University Police Department publishes a compilation of campus crime statistics each year. This and other important information is available online by visiting our web page at www.virginia.edu/uvapolice and http://www.virginia.edu/uvapolice/stats
Q: Do I pay my campus parking tickets at the University Police Department?
A: No. Parking and Transportation is located at a different location. Parking fines are paid either online by visiting www.virginia.edu/parking/ or in person at 1101 Millmont Street Charlottesville, VA 22904. Payments may also be mailed to: U.Va Department of Parking and Transportation P.O. Box 400000 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4000.

Speaking of the 50/50, many thanks belong to Peggy Wheeler for her weekly running of this fund raiser. The money collected goes to paying for the bagels, coffee and pastry served at our meetings.

The Par Tee Ladies would like to give accolades to Doris Neimeth, our Par Tee Historian. Doris has compiled two albums of photos dealing with members of the organization and the other with pictures of our past "Guys and Dolls Tournament." It is on display every Thursday at the Catholic Club. Well done, Doris. It is a marvelous piece of work!!
We could not get along without our social members: Peggy Wheeler, Vera Lynch, Pat Powers and Peg Hurley. They honor us every week with their presence. They are part of the original Par Tees and we are so happy that they keep in contact with the group.
On June 7, Helen and Bill McDonald were married for 66 years! Congratulations to this wonderful couple and best wishes for many more years of good health and happiness.
Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.
God Bless. Have a great week.

Find the art of rest in a charming log cabin hidden away in the Ozark Mountains.
The Destination
The Victorian village of Eureka Springs, deep in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, is no misnomer. Discovered in the mid-1800s by a doctor who claimed the natural hot springs cured his eye problems, this city of 2,100 residents is rife with treasure. Not only are the supposedly curative springs worth writing home about, but the city's circuitous thoroughfares, which seem to wend through town without purpose, bring discovery at every turn.
The Digs

Just minutes from downtown Eureka Springs, the nine luxury cabins offer a blend of convenience, charm, and serenity. Each private log cabin is uniquely appointed and has a wood-burning fireplace, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, full kitchen, and a huge front porch perfect for afternoons spent reading or evenings spent under the stars. Many have hot tubs, private balconies, and outdoor fire pits.

Does pre-Fall death skew ones view of Christs return?
A vast number of conservative theologians accept animal death before Adams Fall. No significant doctrines are impacted, they say, if animals have been killing each other for millions of years.
Many pastors and theologians today believe that the earth is millions or billions of years old. But based on my reading and interactions, it is clear that most of them have never really considered the theological implications of allowing animal death, disease, predation, and extinction prior to Adams sin in the Garden of Eden.
When challenged about this seeming inconsistency, they usually point to the overwhelming scientific evidence and say or imply that their perspective is easy to harmonize with the Bible and it doesnt significantly affect any important doctrines. This attitude is being promoted in theology textbooks widely used in conservative evangelical seminaries, colleges, and churches.

RailsInstaller One Month Update
Exactly 1 month ago we released RailsInstaller 1.0.0 for Windows. Since then we have reached over 10,000 downloads and put out 4 bug fix releases. Our goal is to provide THE Welcome Kit to Rails that you will share among friends in order to welcome them to the enjoyable world of Rails development. I will call 10,000 downloads a success!
As with any project, there are features that we would love to get incorporated into the project. Our first focus is to simplify the setup and use of SSH keys. They are required for private git repos and for deployment to Engine Yard, other deployment platforms, and DIY deployment.
The next focus is to work on providing connectivity to multiple database servers with the default install. Currently RailsInstaller ships with SQLite3 libraries and the associated gem. On our roadmap are PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server.
For the Windows-based RailsInstaller, it is important to provide SQLServer connectivity out of the box. We will provide this through the excellent new Tiny TDS by Ken Collins (@metaskills). The Tiny TDS Ruby Gem allows us to connect to SQLServer through the FreeTDS library. Luis Lavena and Ken Collins have been hard at work with the FreeTDS team to enable builds of FreeTDS under mingw, which we use in RailsInstaller for compiling C.
Alongside our database connectivity issues we are also working on another feature. Currently RailsInstaller is based on an Inno Setup installer, which we created using the RubyInstaller codebase as an example. While Inno Setup works very well, it does not easily meet all of our requirements. One such requirement is that we wish to prompt for a username and email to use for git so that we may automatically configure git for the user during the installation process. This poses a fun challenge indeed!
So how do we intend to solve this? This is where a new RailsInstaller sponsor has stepped up to the challenge! There is another installer product out there called Install Builder. BitRock, the creators of Install Builder are heavily involved in the Open Source community and have generously donated an InstallBuilder license to the RailsInstaller project for its core committers!
I have been reading though the InstallBuilder manual. After my experiences with InnoSetup, I must remark that InstallBuilder is extremely well thought out and very flexible. This is exactly what we need to achieve our RailsInstaller goals of taking care of as much as we possibly can for our users. To the BitRock team, thank you!!!
It's been a great first month. Please continue to share RailsInstaller with your friends so that they can learn how wonderful Ruby on Rails truly is!
