Former Killswitch Engage singer unveils new band
Listen to Killswitch Engage on iHeartRadio
Former Killswitch Engage frontman Howard Jones is back with a new band.
Rumors that the heavy metal singer had returned to action have been circulating for a while now in the wake of his departure from Killswitch at the beginning of 2012. And now, he's officially made his debut with Devil You Know.
The new trio also features All Shall Perish guitarist Francesco Artusato and Devolved drummer John Sankey.
Artusato and Sankey reached out to Jones at the end of last year. Jones says the collaboration quickly went from something they thought would be a fun project into "something very real."
They're set to release their first album together in early 2014. But curious fans can listen to a demo of one of Devil You Know's new songs, "Shut It Down," on the band's Facebook page.

Philosophical thoughts about BackTrack 4
Many people have asked me why we chose a Debian base (*buntu) for BackTrack 4. One person even asked in dismay "Ubuntu ?? That's for noobs!".
The reasoning is simple.
Last year the Defcon people were tracking User Agents on their network, and I was astounded by the massive use of BackTrack throughout the con. What many didn't know is that everyone running BackTrack was potentially vulnerable due to a flaw in wget which was discovered a few weeks earlier.
This is only an example of course. The main point being, that with over 3 million users that downloaded BackTrack, none were receiving any security updates or patches as they came out. The distribution was not maintained.
With fortune 500 and government agencies using BackTrack as their main testing platform, we felt compelled to address this situation by making BT4 a real distribution with security and tool updates. This literally lifts BackTrack 4 from a LiveCD to a full blown Distribution.
At the end of the day, Linux is a kernel with user space applications around it. The alignment of these applications is what distinguishes one distribution from another.

The T3 strategic missile defense, SMD for short, is a stationary structure with the sole purpose of launching ordinance to intercept incoming hostile strategic missiles (nukes). They will not intercept friendly strategic missiles: launched by yourself or by allies.
These units must be ordered to build their ammunition. Once built, the missiles will be stored until needed, and will be lost if the SMD is destroyed. Because of this, it is often inadvisable to build more than two defensive missiles in any one structure, unless you anticipate multiple incoming launches. One SMD can defend against up to five simultaneous incoming launches, if stocked with enough ammunition. SMDs can intercept strategic missiles targeted outside their operational radius when flying overhead. It is also important to note that the splash damage from a strategic missile detonation just outside the SMD's radius may very well damage or destroy objects within the periphery of its protection area.
If you find your SMD being specifically targeted, an incoming nuclear strike is likely.
For more information on strategic warfare, see T3 strategic missile launcher

A Layton man came home Thursday to find someone trying to burglarize his home, so he got a gun out of his car and fired it twice, according to the police.
The homeowner called police after he arrived at his home near 2500 E. Gentile Road about 3:53 p.m. and saw a green, four-door vehicle parked in his driveway with two people inside. He then noticed a man standing in the doorway of his home, holding what appeared to be a pry-bar, according to the police.
The homeowner retrieved a handgun from his vehicle and confronted the man in the doorway and at some point fired two shots before police arrived. The people in the green car drove away while the homeowner was confronting the suspect.
As the police arrived, they saw the suspect running from the home and apprehended him.
Police are questioning the suspect and the homeowner about the incident. Neither of them was hurt.
Police say they are also still looking for the green vehicle, which was driven by a woman with an "older" male passenger.

Aldon Smith's high-flying defense gave Colin Kaepernick all kinds of extra chances in his first career NFL start.
And Kaepernick looked little like a backup in delivering on nearly every one of those opportunities under the lights on football's big stage.
The strong-armed Kaepernick passed for 243 yards and two touchdowns in place of the concussed Alex Smith, Aldon Smith had 5½ sacks, and the 49ers whipped the Chicago Bears 32-7 on Monday night in a highly anticipated NFC showdown that hardly lived up to the hype.
"I wanted to come out and show what I'm capable of and show that I can be a starter," Kaepernick said. "That's what I've been trying to prove since I've been here."
Kaepernick threw touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, and Kendall Hunter ran for a 14-yard score as San Francisco (7-2-1) jumped out to a big lead by scoring on each of its first four possessions.
After Kaepernick's stellar night on national TV, there's certain to be chatter of a quarterback controversy for the NFC West-leading Niners. And anyone who knows coach Jim Harbaugh knows he's all about competition at every spot on the field.
"I usually tend to go with the hot hand, and we've got two quarterbacks with hot hands," he said. "We'll make that decision when we have to make it."
Kaepernick certainly isn't counting on it.
"I don't think one game can be called a hot hand," he said.
Ravens' Reed has suspension overturned
Baltimore safety Ed Reed avoided a one-game suspension for late hits after an appeal. He instead will be fined $50,000.
Reed was suspended for one game without pay on Monday by NFL vice president of football operations Merton Hanks for his third violation in three seasons of the rule prohibiting helmet-to-helmet hits against defenseless players. The third violation occurred in Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh: Reed's hit to the head of receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Reed appealed the ruling in phone session Tuesday morning with NFL hearing officer Ted Cottrell. The NFL Players Association represented Reed, who also participated.
Hours later, Cottrell reduced the penalty.
In a letter to Reed, Cottrell wrote: "I have determined that your actions were egregious and warrant significant discipline. However, I do not believe that your actions were so egregious as to subject you to a one-game suspension without pay."
Around the league
Steelers • Pittsburgh brought back veteran wide receiver Plaxico Burress on Tuesday to provide depth at a position decimated by injuries. He hasn't played since the end of the 2011 season as a member of the New York Jets, but the Steelers (6-4) are in need of healthy bodies at wide receiver after Jerricho Cotchery fractured his ribs late in Sunday night's 13-10 loss to Baltimore. Antonio Brown has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury. The 6-foot-5 Burress spent his first five seasons in the NFL with the Steelers. Also, coach Mike Tomlin said 37-year-old Charlie Batch will start at quarterback on Sunday in Cleveland. Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich are both out indefinitely with rib injuries.
Redskins • Linebacker London Fletcher did not practice Tuesday because of a sprained right ankle and has little time to recover before Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Dallas. Fletcher, 37, has never missed a game in his 15-year NFL career and has appeared in 234 in a row, tying him with Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Ronde Barber for the longest active streak.
Raiders • Oakland waived linebacker Aaron Curry two weeks after activating him to the 53-man roster. Curry played two games after being activated from the physically unable to perform list. He committed two personal fouls in his first game and was only on the field for three defensive and five special teams snaps last week against New Orleans. Curry, the fourth overall pick by Seattle in 2009, was acquired in a midseason trade last year for a seventh-round pick in 2012 and a conditional fifth-rounder in 2013.

USC, Academic Partnerships to bring degree programs online
Contact: Wes Hickman, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3478
The University of South Carolina is partnering with Academic Partnerships to move undergraduate and graduate degree programs from the system's flagship research institution in Columbia, as well as the senior and regional universities, online. Academic Partnerships' innovative learning technologies and its global marketing capability will be utilized to increase access to USC's high quality curriculum in collaboration with faculty from across the system's campuses.
"I am excited that USC has chosen Academic Partnerships to help support its bold new initiatives in online learning," said Michael Amiridis, USC executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. "Academic Partnerships works only with public universities and possesses valuable expertise that will assist USC in the preparation and implementation of high-quality, state-of-the-art online programs delivered at affordable prices through the new Palmetto College and select graduate programs. We look forward to working with our newest partner."
A master's in engineering management will be one of the first degrees offered online through the new partnership.
"Bringing our courses online is one of the many ways to cultivate the next generation of thinkers and meet the growing demand for engineers," said engineering professor Michael Sutton. "I am thrilled with this latest wave of innovation at USC which continues to push the envelope."
In addition, Academic Partnerships will assist USC with the design and development of courses for Palmetto College, the university's new online, baccalaureate degree completion program scheduled to start in fall 2013. Palmetto College will enable South Carolinians who have finished 60 hours of course work to complete a degree in several fields including business, criminal justice, education and nursing. Students will take courses in an affordable, convenient and flexible online format while having the advantage of the university's extensive support system.
"Academic Partnerships is anxious to provide the latest learning technologies, assuring that University of South Carolinas' campuses remain highly competitive and cutting edge as they serve 21st-century students throughout the state and beyond," said Randy Best, chairman of Academic Partnerships. "The system's interest in serving all qualified students through the utilization of technology will help its institutions flourish far into the future."
Academic Partnerships has a successful track record of helping institutions of higher education expand their access and deliver quality and scalable online degree programs. The company's efforts have helped more than 600 professors convert more than 1,000 traditional courses into an electronic delivery format and recruited more than 100,000 students into online degree programs with U.S. and international partners.
About Academic Partnerships
- Dallas-based Academic Partnerships partners with public universities to deliver students full degree programs online. The company was founded by social entrepreneur, Randy Best, an 18-year veteran of developing innovative learning experiences to improve education.

Willow used to enjoy the stories but as her grandmother slips further and further into Alzheimer's, hearing Nana talk of a fantasy world as if IT is the reality hurts.
One of her grandmother's fantasies was the "summoning spell" game where you could touch a special crystal and travel to another world. Willow had believed in the game with all her heart...when she was seven.

Deputy Cleared In Shooting
An Onondaga County Grand Jury has cleared an Onondaga County Sheriff's Deputy in an officer-involved shooting that occurred on May 7.
The incident occurred in the Town of Onondaga when the officer was forced to fire his service weapon at Arcadio Figueroa.
Sheriff's Detectives had taken Figueroa to his residence at Everingham Road to recover property alleged to have been stolen during a burglary at Onondaga Lake Park, where he was an employee. Although handcuffed, Figueroa was able to grab a sawed-off shotgun that was hidden under a mattress.
After initially pointing the shotgun at himself, he then turned it towards one of the detectives and another deputy. The deputy fired twice, striking Figueroa in his groin and thigh. The grand jury determined that the deputy was justified in firing his weapon.
Figueroa is now being held in the Justice Center. He's been indicted on charges of Menacing a Police Officer, Second Degree Burglary and Third Degree Burglary.

For more than just feet!

I've only had this massager for 2 weeks but it has been used every day. Besides my feet (which this is great for), I also use it for my calf and hamstring muscles while lying in bed. I find it more comfortable with a towel over the rollers and pillows supporting my legs. I haven't found a good position to use it for my shoulders and back yet.

Not worth the discomfort to the feet.
By Bill
from Oriental, NC
Instructions limited to how to turn on,off and increase or decrease intensity; absolutely no other instructions regarding how to accomplish the many claims for use by application to various parts of the body, including the feet, which thankfully is relatively easy enough to figure out. How-to use on any other part of the body is an absolute mystery...honestly. Returned it after 10 MINUTES USE BY MYSELF AND 5 MINUTES BY MY WIFE. The rotating parts are brutal on the feet. I can't believe anyone has feet tough enough to endure the pain.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sony Xperia TL review: The Bond phone disappoints
Sony Xperia TL
The Sony Xperia TL on AT&T is a mishmash of good ideas that fail to take definite shape. Like the Sony Xperia Ion before it, the Xperia TL ($99 with two-year contract; price as of November 2, 2012) sports some solid specs: The phone carries a high-resolution display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and a 13-megapixel camera that takes impressive looking photos and video. Sony is hyping the fact that Daniel Craig uses the Xperia TL in the next James Bond film, Skyfall. Unfortunately, the handset suffers from an awkward design and from a buggy overlay that makes it feel antiquated in comparison to other recent Android smartphones.
Measuring 5.09 by 2.65 by 0.37 inches, the Xperia TL is smaller than most other high-end Android smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S III and the LG Optimus G. The phone's 4.55-inch, 1280-by-720-pixel display is sharp and easy to read, and it uses the same image processing technology as Sony's Bravia line of TVs.
Unfortunately, Sony made some questionable design choices that render the Xperia TL less enjoyable to use than some of its rivals. Though the Xperia TL is relatively small, its back has a concave curve that makes it uncomfortable to hold with one hand. (The Galaxy Nexus, which has a convex curve, doesn't suffer from the Xperia TL's ungainliness.)
The phone's case is composed largely of a matte plastic, with awkwardly placed buttons that make using the Xperia TL an exercise in frustration. Unlike most other modern smartphones, this model has the power, volume, and camera buttons grouped tightly together in the bottom-right half of the phone. Not only are the buttons hard to press when you hold the phone normally, but they prevent you from gripping the Xperia firmly without changing the volume or putting the device to sleep—accidents that happened to me more times than I'd care to admit.
Powering the Xperia TL is a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor and 1GB of RAM. The phone's processor isn't as beefy as the quad-core chipsets inside the Optimus G or Galaxy Note II, but the Xperia TL had no trouble running any of the apps or games I threw at it. That's not to say that its performance was flawless: The phone occasionally froze on me for a second or two before becoming responsive again. Though this didn't happen often, it did occur at some highly inconvenient moments, such as when I wanted to respond to a text message quickly or to snap a picture.
The Xperia TL's call quality was disappointing: The phone randomly cut out and dropped words; and voices often came through warped, muddled, and inaudible. Data speeds over AT&T's LTE network were also disappointing. Using the FCC-approved Ookla Speed Test app, I clocked average download speeds of 3.52 megabits per second and average upload speeds of 1.03 mbps. By comparison, most other LTE phone on AT&T we've tested recently have had download speeds of between 16 mbps and 24 mbps. Web pages should load faster on LTE than they would over 3G, but if you plan to stream video or download big apps, you had best do it over Wi-Fi.
Sony's new phone comes with a nonremovable 1850mAh battery that lasted for only about 5.5 hours of moderate use—activities such as checking email messages, making calls, and downloading apps—before I needed to plug it in. From this experience, I recommend carrying around a spare charger to avoid having the phone run dry in the middle of the day.
The Xperia TL ships with 16GB of internal storage, but you can add more via the MicroUSB card slot on the right side of the device.
The Xperia TL comes with Sony's custom Timescape interface overlay, which sits on top of Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. I wasn't a big fan of the Timescape overlay when I saw it on the Xperia Ion, and I'm definitely not a fan of it now: The overlay makes the Xperia TL look and feel as though it were running an older version of Android, and aesthetically it rates as a downgrade from the Holo interface found on unadulterated Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Some icons are difficult to interpret; and though the animations look pretty, many do nothing to improve the user experience.
The overlay does have a few bright spots—it lets you apply different themes to the phone's menus, for instance, and its improved status bar lets you toggle various settings—but overall it's a bit of an eyesore.
Though the Xperia TL ships with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, Sony has a strong track record for releasing phone updates, and this phone will probably eventually get Android 4.1 (or 4.2) Jelly Bean.
The phone is largely bloatware-free, except for a handful of AT&T-branded apps that you can't uninstall. Capitalizing on being the official James Bond phone, the Xperia TL comes preloaded with such James Bond-themed extras as video clips from the movie, wallpapers, and audio clips. They're neat to look at for a few minutes, but if you aren't a huge James Bond fan, you'll probably want to delete them fairly soon—which you can easily do.
I was quite impressed with the Xperia TL's 13-megapixel camera: The photos I took with the phone looked sharp, though a little washed out, and the camera performed well in low-light environments. One of my favorite features is the Xperia TL's ability to launch the camera app and take a picture while the phone is still sleeping: Just hold the camera shutter button for a few seconds. It's much faster and more convenient than having to wake the phone first, and helps ensure that you won't miss a once-in-a-lifetime shot—if you can reach the camera button in time.
But while the Xperia TL takes great photos, its video recording capabilities were much less satisfactory. Videos shot in 1080p exhibited a strange jelly-like effect and were surprisingly fuzzy—much as they were on the Xperia Ion. The Xperia TL's onboard microphone did an adequte job of picking up audio, but overall the phone's camera is far better suited for still photography than for video.
Bottom line
In some ways, the Xperia TL reprises Sony's last big phone, the Xperia Ion: Both models have excellent cameras but suffer from clunky hardware and software. Admittedly, the Xperia TL has a better screen and a faster processor than its older brother, but those improvements don't mean much when the phone's design renders it uncomfortable to hold and use. The Timescape overlay worked on the Ion (which shipped running Android 2.3), but encountering the same overlay on the Xperia TL only exacerbates the feeling that this phone is a step backward, not a step forward. Couple that impression with my test unit's random lockups and bugs, and you have a subpar smartphone. James Bond may use the Xperia TL, but I wouldn't advise you to follow his lead.

A native of Hawaii, Moe Keale primarily had roles in movies and TV series that took place in the islands, including many appearances on Hawaii Five-O, where he had a recurring part as Truck Kealoha in the show's final season. He also appeared as Officer O'Shaughnessy in the Hawaiian-based NBC sitcom, The Brian Keith Show.
Moe was a beachboy, musician and singer, part-time electrician, and radio deejay, as well as an actor. His first paid musical gig with his group the Four K's was at the Waikiki Tavern circa 1958, followed by the Tropical Club in Kailua-Kona. In 1964, he worked with the Puka Puka Otea Tahitian Show at Queen's Surf. He was recruited for a New York city gig when he was seen at a beach doing high dives off a simulated waterfall. His most noted role as Truck on Hawaii Five-O came as a result of his working as an electrician on the set.
Keale and Eddie Kamae struck up a musical partnership that led to Moe becoming part of the Sons of Hawaii in 1969, and he remained with the group until 1977. He then went on to make three solo albums South Sea Island Magic, Aloha Is A Part of Me, A Part of You, and Imagine. He was a deejay on KCCN in the 1980s.
From 1984 onward, he and his band played two evenings a week poolside at the Sheraton Waikiki. It was while performing at the Sheraton that he was struck by the fatal heart attack that ended his life on April 15, 2002.
At the time of his death, he was a hands-on co-owner of the Lomi Shop's Keiki Wa'a at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort and Spa at Windward Mall. The Lomi Shop promoted the art of healing through lomilomi massage.
Moe had a near-fatal heart attack in April 2001 and received a pacemaker implant. He used his extension on life to raise $260,000 for the American Heart Association, in order to have portable defibrillators strategically positioned throughout the state of Hawaii.

5 living Presidents attend Bush Library dedication
Click here to see photos from the library
(Dallas, TX) -- "Oh, happy days." That's how former President George W. Bush greeted the formal dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas. He said leaders are "defined by the convictions they hold" and said the U.S. must continue a mission of promoting freedom around the world. He added, "Freedom lights the path to peace." Bush cited 9-11, a signature event of his time in office. He said his administration "made the tough decisions required to keep the American people safe." Bush also heaped praise on the nation's armed services.
Bush was joined by President Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Bush joked that, unlike other Presidents on stage, Obama is the only one who actually has a job. Bush praised the top men and women who served in his administration and singled out former Vice President Dick Cheney. Bush said he's proud to call Cheney a friend. First Lady Michelle Obama was also on hand for the dedication, along with former First Ladies Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Rosalynn Carter.

On and Off Duty: 1 Sweatshirt, 6 Ways
"In elementary school, I wore a full-length, long-sleeved Betsey Johnson floral leotard under a chiffon skirt with black suede rhinestone-encrusted cowboy boots."
"I was in a school where blue marine-and-white was the uniform. So I twisted it between liberty and softness with a teddy chevignon, a little biker jacket in leather from a flea market or a jean jacket, little boots, and a detail of a white shirt. I had the opportunity to choose one coat for the season with my mother. So the masterpiece of every look was my coat that I carefully selected: an Agnès B, an APC, etc. I had a crush on the androgynous look."

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations of your marriage and anticipates what will happen to your assets should you divorce. The process for creating an airtight prenuptial agreement can be complicated, and a lawyer with a marriage and prenuptial practice can make sure the agreement is properly written.

Ashley Rose was named the fifth rifle coach in the history of the Nebraska rifle program, when Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst made the announcement on Wednesday, July 23.
Rose comes to Nebraska after spending the 2013-14 season as an assistant coach at Kentucky. She inherits a Nebraska program that finished fifth at the 2014 NCAA Championships and returns All-Americans Denise Martin, Lauren Phillips and Rachel Martin in 2014-15. Rose replaces Stacy Underwood as head coach, after Underwood left the program following two seasons at the helm.
"Coach Underwood has built a strong foundation for the program over the last two years, and I have the privilege to facilitate further growth of the team, and I hope to take it to new heights," Rose said. "The Huskers are known for having good work ethic and character both on and off the range. The University of Nebraska offers incredible facilities and strong support for all student-athletes. It is evident when stepping on campus that each individual is given all the tools to be successful not only while they are at Nebraska, but in life after athletics."
Eichorst said Rose was an excellent fit to lead the talented young student-athletes in the Husker rifle program.
"We are thrilled to welcome Coach Rose to our Husker family," Eichorst said. "Coach Rose understands what it takes to be successful at this level, and I am confident she will be an excellent leader for our student-athletes and ensure that they have the best collegiate experience possible."
Rose assisted in the day-to-day management of the Wildcat rifle program under Coach Harry Mullins, while coordinating practice plans, matches, team travel, equipment and facility management. She also assisted in recruiting. Rose helped the Wildcats to a third-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the Huskers, and I would like to thank Shawn Eichorst and the Nebraska administration for giving me this chance," Rose said. I also want to thank Coach Mullins at the University of Kentucky and Coach Allan Lollar at Murray State University, who has helped guide me over the years to this opportunity."
Rose was a four-year letterwinner and a team captain at Murray State. Her career for the Racers included a third-place overall finish in air rifle at the 2010 NCAA Championships. She was a member of the Ohio Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team in air rifle in 2009. She was a two-time second-team All-OVC selection in air rifle. Rose was also a leader on Ohio Valley Conference championship teams in 2010 and 2011. She helped Murray State to a fifth-place team finish as a junior at the 2011 NCAA Championships and a seventh-place team finish in 2010.
Rose earned her bachelor's degree in political science from Murray State in May of 2012, before spending the 2012-13 season as a graduate assistant for the Racers rifle team. She assisted in the daily operations of the program, including the coordination of team travel and operation of the target system during team matches. She earned her master's degree in human development and leadership from Murray State in May of 2013. Rose also spent a year as an intern within the Murray State athletic department, gaining a working knowledge of each area in the department.
In addition to her experience at Murray State and Kentucky, Rose spent five years assisting with the Civilian Marksmanship Program. In the summers of 2012, 2013 and 2014, she served as assistant director, preparing for summer camps by hiring and training camp counselors, coordinating travel and managing the daily operations of the summer camps. She began her association with the Civilian Marksmanship Program in 2009 and 2010, serving as a camp counselor and teaching shooting skills to junior high and high school students.
A native of Eubank, Ky., Rose was heavily involved in campus and community activities at Murray State. She served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee's executive committee and represented Murray State at annual Ohio Valley Conference meetings. She was also the vice-chairman of the Kentucky Federation of College Republicans and the Murray State College Republicans. She also spent two months in the summer of 2011 working in the office of Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers at the U.S. House of Representatives.

SAN BERNARDINO - Seven years and several miles separate a trio of killings that have stumped police.
But it was their similarities that convinced police to do something they don't often do in homicide cases: Offer a sizable reward for helping them catch the killers.
San Bernardino Police Chief Robert Handy on Monday announced $30,000 in rewards for information in the deaths of Mary Beth Blaskey, Josephine Frances Kelley and Wanda Lee Paulin - three elderly women who were found dead after their homes were burglarized.
"Any and all information is important," Handy said at a news conference Monday. "It may help us put together the puzzle to help solve these cases."
That puzzle has three common pieces: elderly women burglary and murder.
But in the seven years after Kelley's death, stronger links just aren't there.
Lt. Paul Williams said that despite the similarities in the cases, detectives do not suspect the same people committed each crime.
"There's no physical evidence that links the cases together," he said.
Police hope the rewards - $10,000 for information in each case - lead to some answers.
San Bernardino police generated a third of the reward money through the police union and the rest from asset forfeitures in drug cases. Officers and the victims' families are also seeking help from Gov. Jerry Brown to add another $50,000 in rewards for each case.
Joanne Ballard, Paulin's daughter, said a campaign she began a week ago has already generated 160 letters that will be sent to Brown.
She described the pain her family has felt since Paulin's death.
Ballard discovered her 86-year-old mother's body in their home in the 5000 block of North Mountain View Avenue on Dec. 12, 2010. Valuables - including an heirloom wedding ring and a blue topaz ring - had been stolen.
"The shock of finding her is so great, it will remain with me for the rest of my life," she said.
Similar circumstances surrounded the Nov. 14 death of Blaskey, whose body was found in her Fremontia Drive home by her son, Dirck Blaskey.
The 76-year-old woman's home had been ransacked and her 2001 Lexus ES300 was missing. No suspects have been identified.
"This is a horrible situation, and these people are dangerous," Dirck Blaskey said.
Police found the vehicle abandoned in the northeast part of town more than two weeks later, but no arrests have been made.
Blaskey, a longtime clerk and secretary for San Bernardino City Unified School District, had taken time off work because of illness about two weeks before her death.
Kelley was found dead by her daughter, Susan Hassett, in their Muscupiabe Drive home Sept. 15, 2005. The home had been ransacked.
The 90-year-old woman's hands and feet were bound and her body was lying sideways on her bed, police said.
Police initially arrested Kelley's grandson, Derrick Mitchell Hassett, a day after the killing, but prosecutors rejected the case less than a week later.
"The initial turndown was based on insufficient evidence," said San Bernardino County district attorney's spokesman Chris Lee.
What city authorities are sure of is that burglary is an issue these days.
"Our burglaries are up significantly," Handy said.
Burglaries in the city were up in 2011 and again in 2012, he said.
"We'll have a rash in one area, then in another," Handy said.
And when police crack down on one area, another area picks up.
Among the areas with an increase is the north side of the city, where the three women were killed, Handy said.
San Bernardino isn't the only city with problems connected to burglaries.
In December, Redlands police Officer Alex Paredes warned residents through Facebook that residential burglaries were hitting the city, and that most of them were door kick-ins.
The burglar knocks on the door and if there is no answer, they pry or kick it in.
"This is a great time to have a large dog watching your house," he wrote on Facebook.

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Prosecutors say a Mountlake Terrace man is the guy in the Seattle Seahawks jersey who was filmed Oct. 4 stomping a person into a coma during a fight outside a local pub.
Bryan James Scott, 21, has admitted he was present for the fight, but denies being involved, Snohomish County prosecutors said in court papers they filed Friday, charging him with first-degree assault.
Scott was among a group of men who began fighting in a parking lot outside O'Houlie's tavern in Mountlake Terrace, according to court papers.
"During the fight punches were thrown, knives were displayed and some of the participants got stabbed," deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson wrote.
A video surveillance camera documented the fight. One of the men, 32, fell to the ground after being punched in the head.
"The defendant, who is easily identifiable because of the Seahawk jersey he is wearing, then continues to beat (the victim) while he is down," according to court papers. The attack allegedly included kicking and stomping on the unconscious man's head.
Aid crews found the injured man in a pool of blood. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where doctors concluded he had a fractured skull, broken bones in his face and a severe brain injury, Dickinson said. He was in a coma for days and eventually was released to an assisted-living home.
"According to his family, he is essentially comatose with a poor prognosis for recovery," the prosecutor added.
Scott has been identified by witnesses as the person in the Seahawks jersey who was filmed stomping on the man's head but he "denied having anything to do with the act on the victim, despite the video evidence to the contrary," Dickinson wrote.
Others were arrested in connection with the fight. There was no word whether charges are contemplated against them as well.

Results 1 to 4 of 4
Thread: the plan !
the plan !
The Plan! You gotta love Robin Williams...... Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan..(Hard to argue with this logic!)
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys', we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them are stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "
aim small miss small
The plan
Hell ya I would DEFINITELY vote for that, Lots of good ideas there, need to have more politicians with a mind set like that. We need to take care of our own.
I don't care who you are..... that's funny right there!No bashing.......Violators will be shot.......Survivors will be prosecuted.
Hell Yeah
I don't know how I missed this one before.
This plan should be implemented IMMEDIATELY!!
The only part missing is:
11) Anyone who feel this is an unfair policy is more than welcome to go where ever they want, and help whomever they want at their own expense and their own RISK! Without our protection or us coming to their rescue when they get in deep water.

AMES, Iowa--Iowa State University Research and Demonstration Farms and ISU Extension have hired two agricultural specialists to expand the ISU Farmer Assisted Research and Management, or ISU FARM, project.
Micah Smidt and Zachary Koopman will work at the Northern Research Farm near Kanawha, and the Agricultural Engineering/Agronomy Farm near Boone, respectively.
ISU FARM will extend the reach of the research farms near Kanawha and Boone. A network of cooperators in the surrounding counties will be established to conduct research on their farms.
Smidt and Koopman will assist cooperators in choosing topics related to corn or soybeans, designing and laying out the study, planting the test strips, applying the experimental treatments, and collecting and analyzing the data. Smidt also will work with farmers in northeast Iowa near the ISU Northeast Research Farm near Nashua.
Smidt of Kanawha earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy from Iowa State in 2010, and has experience as a crop consultant and in production agriculture. Koopman of Boone earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy from Iowa State in 2009, and has worked with custom application, crop protection and production agriculture.
ISU FARM is supported by the local associations that own the research farms: North Central Iowa Research Association, Kanawha; Northeast Iowa Agricultural Experimental Association, Nashua; and the Committee for Agricultural Development, Ames. Ag Ventures Alliance, a Mason City business development group for value-added agricultural ventures, and the Iowa Soybean Association also have invested in the program.

CLARENCE, NY -- The latest in Innovative Concepts in Entertainment's line of video redemption equipment is Monopoly, based on the internationally renowned board game from Parker Brothers (now part of Hasbro). ICE teamed up again with Play Mechanix (Glen Ellyn IL) to adapt Monopoly as a videogame, as they did with their popular Deal or No Deal video implementation more than six years ago.
The new game incorporates a 42" LCD monitor, a custom LED-illuminated seat and a durable back-printed acrylic marquee for high visibility and long service life. In operation, the player chooses a piece and then spins a dial on the angled control panel to simulate the roll of the dice that controls that piece's travel around the board; dice values appear on the screen. En route, opportunities arise to collect hotels (worth tickets), win Monopoly and Boardwalk bonuses and experience other video implementations of the famous game.
ICE reports that a novel feature of the new Monopoly game is the player's option to choose "continue" in order to keep all hotels and maximize winnings. This may be done twice, and the company noted that it has proven to increase earnings and encourage repeat play.
"The Play Mechanix team has done an outstanding job taking a universally popular board game and converting it to an amazing coin-op game with such intuitive and engaging game play all while staying true to the Monopoly roots," said ICE sales vice-president Joe Coppola.
Launched in the U.S. by Parker Brothers in 1935, Monopoly has won worldwide popularity. Since its introduction, more than a billion people have played it.
The new ICE Monopoly game is 93" H. x 41" W. x 60" D. It has been designed to appeal to players of all ages, and can be seen in action at youtube.com/icegamevideo.
