We are here to pray and support this family in a time of great loss and suffering, he reminded the gathering.
Rooney told the story of when Harkins came to him and asked for advice about being sheriff.
He asked the people to pray, that we do not ever become deaf to the singing of the praises to the holy order, to the cries of union or of those who suffer.
Law enforcement officers from around the state, including all the local law enforcement agencies, were given seats of honor at the service.
Many of the officers participated in the cortage which escorted the body to Glenn Abbey Cemetery for the graveside service.

States call driving a privilege. Some people consider it a task. With the 2013 Ford Focus ST, it becomes a joy. There are very few cars today that so reward the active, engaged driver.
At the same time, the Focus ST would be practical as a daily driver. As a hatchback, it provides versatile interior space that can handle five passengers and cargo. Fuel economy, while down substantially from other Focus variants, is still good enough that each fill-up should not empty your bank account.
For the average American buyer, the Focus ST has a couple of strikes against it. First, it only comes with a six-speed manual transmission. At last count, only 6 percent of new cars sold had manuals in the U.S. And we apparently prefer sedans over hatchbacks, even in the compact segment. I do not expect the Focus ST to change these metrics.
In the tradition of the hot hatchback, a type of car developed by European and Japanese gearheads who generally only had access to economical front-wheel-drive cars as platforms for tuning exploits, the Focus ST sends almost too much power to its front wheels: 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
Like an aftermarket-tuned hot hatch, the Focus ST makes use of a turbocharger strapped to its 2-liter engine. However, Ford also gives it direct injection to up the efficiency. And unlike an aftermarket special, the Focus ST has very little turbo lag.
From game to real life
After spending many hours driving the virtual Focus ST in Gran Turismo 5 as my go-to car for the early races, I had high hopes for the real thing. Painted in a yellow-orange color called Tangerine Scream, the fully optioned-up Focus ST delivered to CNET met my expectations visually.
However, I found it difficult to get comfortable in the Recaro seats. The high side bolsters meant a little extra lifting and twisting to get in. The headrest too aggressively pushed my head forward, probably good for crash safety but not general comfort, and the angle of the bottom part of the seat seemed too steep. I would opt for the base cloth sport seats, but Ford ties its various tech options to the Recaro upgrade.
On first rolling out on city streets, I thought Ford might have tuned the suspension too soft. There seemed to be a velvet edge around every driving element, from ride quality to shifter to steering. But I quickly found that the Focus ST exhibits the sort of European tuning I was used to in much more expensive cars from the likes of BMW and Audi. The shifter, for example, moves through the gate as if on a well-worn track, while still showing great precision in gear changes.
On my favorite mountain road, the Focus ST revealed its true nature. Letting the revs run high, the engine took on a hard, ticking exhaust note, the growl of a small-displacement engine with a ton of power. Popping the shifter down to second was quick and comfortable, thanks to its European tuning. And the suspension, while still exhibiting its velvety smoothness, kept the body on an even keel.
Turn-in was sharp, while the wheel fed back good heft, even with its electric boost unit. But the best part about the Focus ST is that it let me play. When I held the brakes a little into a turn, the car responded with predictable rotation. I hit the gas at different points during my turn exits and the car showed me the timing that worked best. The Focus ST's handling is similar to the Scion FR-S', but with a lot more power on tap. It is a car that readily speaks to the driver.
Tame in the city
The real benefit of its European tuning comes in city driving. Instead of making like an uncontrollable bucking bronco, the Focus ST settles down nicely. I could take off from a light without spinning the front tires and creep along in grid-locked traffic without stalling the engine. A hill hold feature would have been nice when forced to stop midway up a steep San Francisco street, but the lack of turbo lag from the Focus ST's engine helped, letting me carefully bring in the power while letting off the hand brake.
On the freeways, the Focus ST rode nicely, its suspension soaking up the bumps from expansion joints, making me feel like hundreds of miles could go by easily. However, in sixth gear at 65 mph, the engine was running about 2,500rpm, not the best tuning for maximizing fuel economy. The Focus ST only achieved 23 mpg city and 32 mpg highway in EPA testing, a little sacrifice in favor of performance.
Mistaking the Focus ST for an economy car, I went out on a run with the fuel needle pointing at a quarter tank, thinking it should get me through the 65 miles of my planned route. But hammering it through hairpin turns up a mountain north of the Golden Gate, I saw the fuel light come on.

With competition for top MBA students fierce and support of those students an essential philanthropic priority, the Jones Graduate School of Business is focusing a portion of its recruiting efforts on United States veterans. This military student support encompasses scholarships, the Veterans in Business Association, and a network of alumni and community members.
As part of this greater initiative to recruit and support military veterans, the Jones School launched the Military Scholars Program. This program is the result of a group of generous alumni and community members who wanted to acknowledge, honor, and support those who proudly serve this country. The Military Scholars Program provides a scholarship and additional funding to cover tuition, fees and expected living expenses for selected applicants who wish to pursue their educational dream of obtaining the Rice MBA degree.
"We are excited to develop support for military veterans who are making a transition to civilian life after serving our country," said Bill Glick, dean of the Jones School. "Through the military, they have developed tremendous leadership skills. Through the Rice MBA, we can help them translate these leadership skills to civilian roles. Houston and the Jones School are very pleased to welcome and support our veterans."
The Jones School is proud to announce the first Military Scholar, Ivor Kristiansen, a former U.S. Naval officer. As a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy with six years of experience, including a tour in Afghanistan, Kristiansen brings leadership and management skills to the Jones School. His position with Noble Energy in supply chain management has also made him proficient with global operations in the oil and gas industry.
"My experience in the Navy allowed me to develop significant competencies in leadership and management, but I knew there would be a competency gap as I entered the corporate community," Kristiansen explained. "I'm looking to the Jones School to bridge that gap and give me more exposure to career opportunities. Rice was the best fit for my career goals and their attentiveness to the needs of veterans was clearly apparent. It's the only school I applied to, and if I didn't get in, I would've applied again next year. I can't wait to get started."
There are presently 15 veterans in the full-time program. Over the next few years, the Jones School has committed to raising $5M towards military student support and to enrolling a robust 10 percent veteran population in the full-time class.
Executive Director of Admissions Melissa Blakeslee credits veterans for raising the bar. "The military veterans who come to the Jones School are able to share their unique experience and perspective both in and out of the classroom. Their level of involvement in both clubs and classes leads to the recruitment of top candidates."
Continuing with its commitment to serving veterans, the Jones Graduate School of Business will host former Governor Tom Ridge April 16. Details on the event will be forthcoming.To learn more about supporting veterans' education through Rice University or to contribute toward the effort, please contact Rachel Fleck, director of development, at 713-348-4262 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An officer and several others suffered only minor injuries in a crash in Northwest Jacksonville late Wednesday afternoon.
Police said an officer was responding to a report of a suicide about 4:30 p.m. He was traveling northbound on Myrtle Avenue North with his emergency lights and siren on, police said.
Investigators said the officer stopped at a red light at the intersection with Kings Road and inched his way into the intersection. His view was blinded by a building on the corner.
A car heading east on Kings Road didn't see the police cruiser and collided with it in the intersection, police said.
The officer was taken to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center with minor injuries.
A man, woman, two children in the other car also suffered minor injuries but were not hospitalized.
Investigators said the officer used the proper technique to stop and inch out into the intersection because of the blind view and red light. They did say their investigation is ongoing.
The officer's name was not released at the scene.

The History department at College of the Ozarks offers students the exciting opportunity to explore the development of world civilizations and cultures and to study the foundation of the American heritage. Wide-ranging survey courses on Western Civilization and the American Experience—all part of the general education core—provide students an informational and conceptual introduction to these fields.
Students who major in History will select different upper-level courses from American and European history. In upper-level, seminar, and special topics courses students work closely with faculty to achieve in-depth knowledge of important times, trends, and themes from history and the powerful as well as ordinary people who have shaped the past and influence the present and future. All classes place a premium on a close liaison between students and teachers and among students.
Students majoring in History may choose from the following programs:
History students compete for several scholarships awarded for exceptional achievement, and they have an impressive assortment of internships and job opportunities available to them. Many history majors have worked on special projects in the Ralph Foster Museum on campus, including the permanent exhibit on America's war; some have done internships at presidential libraries, such as the Harry S. Truman Library, and at historic sites, parks, and battlefields, including Wilson's Creek National Battlefield outside Springfield, Missouri. These sorts of history internships can lead to exciting career opportunities. One graduate did an internship at the White House and now works in the Office of the Vice President of the United States.
Students also have travel opportunities available to them, with many of the trips connected to academic courses. History students have traveled to Europe to study World War II and to experience cultures in Scotland and The Netherlands; they have visited Civil War battlefields and national parks; they have traveled through the South to see key sites in the history of the civil rights movement. Students in the senior-level seminar have done primary research at the Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson presidential libraries. History students also travel to state and regional history conferences where C of O students can hear historians from a variety of colleges, libraries, and museums present their research. These trips also afford students an opportunity to meet and network with historians in graduate programs that might interest them for future advanced study in history.
The history department faculty are outstanding teacher-scholars. Recipients of numerous teaching awards such as the Missouri Governor's Award for Excellence in College Teaching and the Eugene Charles Wittick Teaching Award at C of O, our faculty ably introduce students to the complexities of historical research and provide context for a variety of historical periods. The faculty have also received numerous research fellowships from a variety of institutions including Yale University; The Institute of Historical Research in London, UK; Newberry Library in Chicago; the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; and the University of Warwick. Other notable distinctions include a nationally televised appearance on CSPAN.
Dr. C. David Dalton (19th Century American history, South)
Dr. Brad Pardue (Western Civilization, Early Modern/Modern Europe, Reformation, Church History)
Dr. David Parrish (Western Civilization, Eighteenth-Century Britain, Early Modern/Modern Europe)

One of the questions that students often ask themselves when they consider a major or minor in history is, "What can I do with a history major?" Although the numbers might vary from year to year, about a third of our graduates add a second major in Secondary Education and become teachers of history and social studies in public or private schools; perhaps another third attend graduate and professional school after they leave College of the Ozarks, working on advanced degrees in history, law, and seminary; and the remaining third go right from college into a variety of careers.
The study of history places a premium on life skills such as reading, writing, information management and analysis, small-group working, and critical thinking. Thus, our history graduates can go with confidence into diverse fields such as business management, law, government, parks and conservation, libraries and museums, ministry, and more.
The History department sponsors and coordinates several activities for students outside the classroom and for the College community at large. As an example, Phi Alpha Theta, the international history honor society, functions as a history club that sponsors historical programs and speakers—sometimes in cooperation with the Ralph Foster Museum at the College, offers film series—such as Western and war films, and organizes informational forums to discuss important events—such as a series of programs after the 9/11 attacks on the United States. The department also works with the College Democrats and College Republicans to exchange and debate political views during election years.

Few federal agencies do a better job of capturing the public imagination than NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, which helped a worldwide audience share in the Curiosity Rover's "seven minutes of terror" before landing successfully on Mars. Behind the scenes was the clever use of cloud technology, social media and engineering to transmit real-time images from 150 million miles out in space, all on a tight budget.
JPL's IT team, anticipating Olympic-size audiences, migrated several applications to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, including the legacy content management system, the Mars public outreach web sites and the Eyes on the Solar System website. But JPL IT had never implemented video streaming before and did not know how many people would watch the streaming video. At the eleventh hour, it became apparent viewership would be massive, so JPL and AWS put together a cloud-based system capable of handling 80,000 requests per second and that would ultimately stream 150 gigabytes per second and deliver 150 terabytes during the few days of the entry-descent-and-landing event.
At its peak, the websites reached 8 million hits per minute. The cloud enabled a global audience to experience the marvels of Mars at unprecedented speeds; in fact, at the same time JPL scientists did. Because of the cloud architecture, JPL had virtually unlimited computing and storage resources. And as importantly, JPL was able to serve 10 to 100 times more traffic at one-tenth the cost compared to the Mars Exploration Rover landing nine years earlier.

Building a Nation
News & Events
Akec Khoc Aciew, ambassador to the United States from the Republic of South Sudan, the world's newest nation, visited campus and told the audience assembled in the Rondileau Campus Center about his people's long road to freedom. "My country, in its efforts to achieve independence, suffered many hardships but there is euphoria today among the people of South Sudan who finally enjoy freedom and democracy," he said.
Frederick Clark, executive vice president and vice president for external affairs, introduced the ambassador. "Having you here as the first ambassador to our country to a brand-new nation is a very special honor for us," he told the guest speaker. "A trained physician who has practiced in Europe and Africa, he has made great personal sacrifices – and demonstrated great personal courage – to help his country achieve independence."
Also bringing greetings to the event, held in the Rondileau Campus Center, were Dr. Jabbar Al-Obaidi, director of BSU's Center for Middle East Studies and Dr. Michael J. Kryzanek, executive director of the Minnock Center for International Engagement.
"I'm happy to be here and have the opportunity to talk about the achievements and the challenges of the Republic of South Sudan," said the ambassador, as he opened his remarks. He noted that his country was recognized by the United Nations just over a year ago. "When Sudan was under British and later Egyptian rule, up to 1956, the people of my nation did not have control of their sovereignty. South Sudan has rich oil reserves, and for more than 100 years those resources were exploited at the expense of my people."
Finally, he said, "After 30 years of intense effort, the Republic of South Sudan was born in July, 2012, and we have taken our place among the family of nations in the world. This was both a political achievement and an economic achievement reflecting the desire and the will of South Sudan's citizens to be free and independent." (Story by David K. Wilson, '71, University News)

THE Independent Commission Against Corruption in New South Wales will investigate dealings between goldmining company Newcrest and the NSW Department of Mineral Resources.
The investigation follows claims by a private exploration company, Gold & Copper Resources, that a licence over tenements surrounding Newcrest's Cadia mine, near Orange, was obtained fraudulently.
The chairman of Gold & Copper, Brian Locke, confirmed on Friday that the ICAC would begin an investigation.
But a Newcrest spokeswoman, Kerrina Watson, told BusinessDay: ''We are not aware of any extension to the ICAC inquiry.''
Cadia is Australia's largest underground mine, containing about $240 billion worth of gold at present prices. It is scheduled to begin production this month.
The transaction in the cross-hairs of ICAC's inquiry is a ''page swap'', which enabled Newcrest to extend an exploration lease near Cadia to five years, from the original two-year lease. On May 20, 2009, Newcrest sent the Department of Primary Industries, as it was then called, a replacement front page to serve as an application for renewal of its exploration licence (EL 3856).
The difference between this page and the page it replaced was that the renewal application was for five years rather than two years.
Between the time that the original application was lodged on March 24 that year, and the time of the page swap on May 20, eight weeks had elapsed, and Newcrest's licence renewal was by then ''out of time'' and therefore invalid due to misleading information, according to Gold & Copper.
Newcrest is subject to five legal claims by Gold & Copper, including a claim for roughly a third of the underground mine itself, on which it has already spent $2 billion in development. It is the first of these claims, due to be heard in the Land and Environment Court on Monday, that has attracted the interest of ICAC.
Newcrest has issued two statements to the Australian Securities Exchange, saying that Gold & Copper's claims are without merit and will be vigorously defended.
Gold & Copper earlier tried to amend its pleadings in the ''page swap'' case to bring a claim of fraud against Newcrest and the department when it found evidence of the page swap in discussions with Newcrest.
Now Gold & Copper alleges that Newcrest submitted false and misleading information in the application for EL 3856 and that the lease renewal was therefore invalid.
In his findings on the earlier application to amend pleadings to fraud, Justice Malcolm Craig did not dispute that there had been a page swap, or that Newcrest's renewal application was out of time. He struck out fraud claims on technical grounds, ruling that the applicant had not sufficiently ''pleaded nexus between the fraudulent conduct that is alleged and the decision by (a department employee) to renew the licence''.
Mr Locke said he welcomed the ICAC's involvement, although he said it was disappointing that Newcrest and the Department of Mineral Resources had not themselves moved to ''clear the air'' by making their own investigation into the matter.
''This is not just an ordinary commercial dispute between Gold & Copper and Newcrest,'' he said. ''What is at the core of this dispute is the very administration of NSW state mineral resources. It is the department's role to protect the integrity of these resources as custodians for the citizens of NSW.'' The minority shareholders in Gold & Copper include influential mining people, such as former Rio Tinto chief Leigh Clifford, founder of Barlow Jonker Jeremy Barlow, former Glencore and Xstrata chairman Willy Strothotte and venture capitalist Mark Carnegie.
In its earlier claims, Gold & Copper alleges that Newcrest had been mining in the Cadia-Ridgeway area without a mining licence.
In its fifth, and most explosive, lawsuit served on Newcrest last month it contests the validity of the mining licence itself - and over the leases that cover the Cadia underground mine.
Newcrest obtained some Cadia approvals from two former ministers, Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald.

ESCONDIDO -- Habitat for Humanity broke ground Wednesday on its latest project to provide affordable housing to a dozen area families.
The nonprofit agency is building 12 townhomes at 620 N. Hickory St. for low-income families. The agency bought the 0.7-acre site with a $225,000 forgivable loan from the city of Escondido.
Over 100 people gathered on a humid afternoon for the dedication ceremony as Mayor Lori Pfeiler praised the project.
"This is important to the City Council because it helps 12 families move into homes," Pfeiler said. "Instead of focusing on survival, they become part of the community."
Families that meet certain income requirements can buy the homes at zero percent interest, said Kim Cruz, director of development for Habitat for Humanity. Mortgage payments are figured at no more than one-third the family's monthly income and no down payment is required. Instead, the families pay "sweat equity," which means each adult must put in 250 hours of labor on their own or another Habitat home.
As an example of income requirements, a family of four must earn between $23,500 and $31,900 a year, Cruz said.
Aside from the city, Centex Homes is considered a major development partner by Habitat for Humanity. Cruz said Centex has contributed construction, labor, materials and building expertise to the project.
"We owe a great deal of thanks to the city and Centex," Cruz said.
Dan Hapke, president of the San Diego Habitat for Humanity board of directors, said the group has been working on the project since early 2002 and has received support from the community and local businesses and churches.
"We have had many volunteers anxious to be a part of this project," Hapke said. "North County people are great and they know of the need for low-income housing in this area.
"I have worked all over San Diego County and I know for a fact that this city is number one in helping Habitat for Humanity. They take affordable housing very seriously," Hapke said.
Five families have been selected for the townhomes so far, and applications are being reviewed to choose the other seven families who will buy the townhomes, Cruz said. Selection is based on income, need and credit history. Cruz said additional families will be approved at the organization's board meeting at the end of this month.
Pedro Maldonado and his family -- his pregnant wife, two sons and daughter -- have been chosen to buy one of the homes. Maldonado, who works at Southwest Marine Shipyard in San Diego, spoke to the audience on Wednesday about his appreciation for Habitat for Humanity.
"They have made my American dream come true," Maldonado said. "It has also been encouraging to help others and help build their homes."
"It's a good program and beneficial for low-income families. Habitat for Humanity is a beautiful family," added his wife, Cecelia Maldonado.
The foundation for the townhomes will be poured Thursday and building will begin this fall. Hapke said the homes should be finished at the end of 2004, with families moving in at the beginning of 2005.
Eight of the townhomes are 3-bedroom, 1,250-square-foot units, while the other four are 4-bedroom, 1,500-square-foot homes. Each townhome includes laundry facilities, a patio and a carport.
Development sponsors include Mortgage Bankers Association,Freddie Mac, Women's Mortgage Industry Network and First HorizonHome Loan. A coalition of local churches has partnered to build onehome they call the 'House of Faith,' Cruz said.
As attendees gathered under portable awnings, surveyed a three-dimensional model of the townhomes and drank cold bottles of water, Natali Maldonado, 11, put everything into perspective.
"I am excited that everyone will have their own bedroom," she said.

The pilot is being directed by sitcom vet James Burrows.
Brandon Routh is set to play the boyfriend of Michael Urie's character in CBS' comedy pilot Partners.
The 32-year-old Chuck and Superman Returns star will take on the role of a "former alcoholic, club-hopping model, now a sober, vegan nurse," according to Deadline.
The show centers on longtime friends, business partners, and architects Charlie, who is straight, and Louis (Urie), who is gay.
Sophia Bush will play Ali, Charlie's fiance, who's a jewelry boutique owner.
English actress Lucy Davis and Sherri actress Elizabeth Regen have also been cast in the show. Regen will play Ro-Ro, Charlie and Louis' colorful assistant. Brit Davis, who starred on the original British version of The Office, will play Renata, droll bookkeeper for Charlie's fiancé Ali ( Bush), a jewelry boutique owner.

NHLPA expecting response to offers
The NHL and its Players' Association will negotiate again Friday — a fourth session in as many days — in a seemingly serious effort to end a lockout destined to hit Day 55.
"We're talking, and I think as long as that continues, it's got to be considered a positive," Penguins star Sidney Crosby said Thursday before the NHLPA and NHL began a session that lasted five-plus hours in New York City.
"When was the last time talks went this long?"
The NHL and NHLPA met multiple times over the course of four days the last week of August.
Negotiations this week have lasted about 19 hours over a period of three days. Prior to Tuesday, the sides had not met in a group format for more than a few hours total since owners enacted a lockout when the last labor deal expired Sept. 15.
"There's still a lot of work to do," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday after the league responded to two offers made by the NHLPA the previous day.
One union offer addressed revenue sharing among owners. The other offer targeted players' share of revenue and honoring of current contracts.
As of Thursday morning, the NHL and NHLPA had not found common ground on a time frame for implementation of a 50/50 division of revenue or the method for full payment of current players' contracts.
The union has also pushed for a revision of revenue sharing among clubs, proposing that higher-revenue franchises contribute more to weaker teams as is the case in Major League Baseball. Bettman has repeatedly said owners are "not interested in a baseball model."
He also has said owners need immediate financial relief, even though revenue hit a record $3.3 billion last season.
Forbes Magazine recently reported that 18 clubs lost money last season, including the Penguins at around $250,000.
The NHL previously has proposed an instant move to a 50/50 revenue split on a new labor deal. The players, who received 57 percent of revenue under the last labor deal, have offered a gradual move toward 50/50.
The NHL and union each planned to conduct internal meetings Thursday night.
Union executive director Donald Fehr spoke after the afternoon meeting, but he offered only that negotiations would continue.
The feeling within the NHL and NHLPA is that negotiations are progressing toward possible framework for a new labor deal but that talks remain tenuous.
Seven players, but no Penguins, and three owners attended the meeting Thursday.
Games through November and the New Year's Day Winter Classic outdoor game have been canceled. The All-Star Game has not yet been shelved but only because the NHL has planned for a season of between 60 and 70 games if action begins during the first week of December.
Several players have said this week they believe the NHL feels pressure to do a deal because big North American sponsors are frustrated by the stoppage.
Players also have said that information relayed during a union conference call Monday sparked general hope that gaps were bridged during discussions last week between NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr.
Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury had not attended player-organized practices at Southpointe before Tuesday, and his return to Pittsburgh was not a coincidence.
"You want to be here if (the lockout) ends, be ready to go right away," he said. "I don't have plans to leave unless maybe if something goes bad in New York."

Meet Elizabeth Zima
Elizabeth Zima dreams about Bejeweled...
Elizabeth Zima dreams about Bejeweled - which definitely beats the alternative in terms of her videogame-playing choices. Elizabeth, a 52-year old resident of Calistoga, California, is an avid computer- and videogame player, but she doesn't necessarily want to kill things - even virtual things - in order to win, as many traditional videogames demand. So she often opts for a quick session of Bejeweled or Talismania, which seem to satisfy some basic, almost primal desires in the areas of color, texture and spatial relations. "I would compare Bejeweled in some ways to Hans Hofmann paintings," she says. "There's a large collection of his work at the Berkeley Museum of Art it's always made a big impression on me; I love the stacked brilliant colors he uses. The same excitement happens to me when I look at the colors in Bejeweled."
"Just the colors alone in Bejeweled can make me happy, evoking all sorts of positive memories, associations and sensations," says Elizabeth, who works as a communications executive in the healthcare industry. "I've played my share of Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy - probably more than my share given my age and gender - and I really like those games. But between the time commitment they require and the virtual bloodshed needed to progress in those games, I frequently find myself hankering for 15 minutes of Bejeweled or Talismania as a way to relax. And even though PopCap's games do make me think, I'm able to devote part of my mind to other thoughts and issues, so it's not unusual for me to be playing Bejeweled and have the answer to some other problem in my life just come together in mid-game. That doesn't really happen when I'm going 95 mph in a racing game or slaying dragons in a role-playing game - they monopolize your attention by immersing you in synthetic worlds full of problems of their own."
Elizabeth says she first learned of Bejeweled in a Wall Street Journal article, and estimates she plays that or another casual game about half an hour a day, on average. "I find myself playing early in the morning and sometimes before going to bed - how many other games can engage you before that first cup of coffee and also help you de-stress at the end of a long day?" she asks. From the colors and textures to the overall "feel" of games like Bejeweled and Talismania, Elizabeth says these games are a perfect fit for her lifestyle and general outlook on life. "I like PopCap's games for those off times when I need to relax and think at the same time," she laughs. As Elizabeth explains it, Bejeweled helps her shift her mind from a creative mode to a down mode and then back again. "If I'm writing a newspaper article or an annual report, I'll play Bejeweled between bursts of creativity - and somehow the game seems to feed that creativity while not making me focus on 'being creative' with my entire thought process."
Elizabeth is a competitive horseback rider, riding in two disciplines (dressage and hunter jumpers) and practicing these events four nights a week. She also rides a motorcycle and loves the outdoors - but for in-home escapism, Bejeweled is her tool of choice much of the time.

HOUSTON - Houston health inspectors don't just check out restaurants. They inspect every business that sells food.
When inspectors stopped by Foodarama at 1805 Ella Boulevard, they said they saw an employee putting new price labels on chicken that had already expired.
The inspector made the employee trash all of the old chicken.
A Foodarama representative said the employee was not supposed to be relabeling expired chicken, only putting lower prices on poultry that was near expiration. He said the employee was disciplined.
KPRC Local 2 was surprised to learn that stores are allowed to repackage and re-label chicken after the expiration date as long as the chicken was originally packaged and dated in the store. Any meat that comes already packaged to the store, like Tyson or Pilgrim's Pride, can =not be repackaged. It must be discarded when it expires.
At IHOP on the South Loop at Beechnut, inspectors said they saw a roach on a glass storage rack.
Inspectors said another roach was crawling on the floor behind the bar at Little Napoli Flying Pizza at 6445 Westheimer.
Even more roaches were hanging out at The Burger House at 12430 Old Galveston Road. Inspectors said they found three roaches there.
Double trouble at Sophia in Montrose at 1601 West Main. Inspectors asked employees to remove old rodent droppings and minimize the presence of cockroaches.
Inspectors asked employees to get rid of the gnats in the kitchen at The Palm Restaurant at 6100 Westheimer.
Head to Chili's at10001 Westheimer to get an A+ meal. Inspectors found no violations there or at The Firehouse Saloon at 5930 Southwest Freeway.

BURY manager David Flitcroft believes the postponement of Saturday's match at Accrington Stanley could work in his side's favour in tonight's crunch clash at Mansfield.
Their opponents came from two goals down to pick up a point at home to Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend and move five places above the Shakers in the League Two table.
But a win for Bury tonight would see them leapfrog the Stags on goal difference.
And Flitcroft is confident the extra time off to train and prepare for the game following Saturday's wash-out will increase their chances of victory.
"It was a negative day (on Saturday), but it's how you draw the positives from that," said the Shakers boss.
"We started building towards Mansfield as soon as we got on the coach (to leave Accrington).
"It was business as usual for us in many ways as we had an indoor facility we could go to to train and get our work done for Mansfield."
While his players may have been eager to build on a hard-earned point at home to promotion-chasers Burton Albion the previous weekend, Flitcroft was glad of the extra time to incorporate his new signings - strikers Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Clive Platt and attacking midfielder Andrew Tutte.
Flitcroft confirmed all three players would have been included in his matchday squad at Accrington and hinted they will all have a part to play at the One Call Stadium tonight.
"Why wouldn't you want to utilise the qualities they offer?" he said.
"Jean-Louis has pace, power and penetration - he causes problems.
"Clive's hold-up play is one of the best in the league and Andrew Tutte is a formidable midfield player who can execute, create and score goals, which we've not really got from a central position."
Tutte could well be thrown straight in, in place of Ashley Grimes, to play as the link between midfield and attack, while Anton Forrester may lose his starting spot alongside senior striker Daniel Nardiello.
Platt could well get the nod for that role as Flitcroft anticipates a "battle" against a Mansfield side known for their aggressive style.
"There are different ways to win football matches - at Mansfield, we know it will be a battle and it will be a contest, but that's what football is," he said.
"It can be a war of attrition at times and I have got to prepare a team to be ready for that.
"I will go into the game and prepare to try to win the football match.
"Whether we do that through tactics, through possession, or we choose to try and go down the sides of them, we will try to find those areas to hit them."

Mitchell Johnson's pace overpowered Sri Lanka who were bowled out for 156 on Wednesday's opening day of the second Test before Australia reached 3-150 at stumps.
Skipper Michael Clarke is 20 not out and his deputy Shane Watson is unbeaten on 13, although both batsmen were dropped before they reached double figures.
Clarke has been in sparkling touch despite coming into the match under an injury cloud after hurting his hamstring in last week's first Test win in Hobart.
In front of an appreciative crowd of 67,138 at the MCG, Johnson claimed 4-63 from 14 fiery overs and became the 14th Australian to reach the milestone of 200 Test wickets.
Johnson had claimed six wickets in his comeback Test against South Africa in Perth but was overlooked for the Hobart Test. The left-armer was hitting speeds around the 145km/h mark on Wednesday.
Johnson's fellow quicks Peter Siddle (2-30) and debutant Jackson Bird (2-32) also posed constant threats to the tourists.
Kumar Sangakkara top-scored with 58 for Sri Lanka who chose to bat first.
When Sangakkara scored his 40th run, he became the 11th player in Test history and second Sri Lankan to reach the 10,000-mark.
Aggressive opener Tillakaratne Dilshan (11) was bowled by Johnson and Bird's alarming bounce caught Thilan Samaraweera (10) by surprise in the first over after lunch as the right-hander top-edged a pull-shot at 4-79.
The loose strokeplay of Dilshan and Samaraweera was repeated by Angelo Mathews (15) whose off-drive landed in the hands of Mike Hussey at second slip off the bowling of Siddle at 5-99.
Prasanna Jayawardene (24) edged a short ball to third slip off Johnson and was taken to hospital for x-rays which revealed a hairline fracture of the right thumb.
Stand-in wicketkeeper Sangakkara fumbled a diving attempt to catch Watson for five off the bowling of Chanaka Welegedara (0-36).
Australia's openers Ed Cowan and David Warner shared a 95-run stand dominated by Warner (62 off 46 balls) who had a lapse in concentration as he holed out to deep mid-wicket off the bowling of Mathews (1-9).
Phil Hughes was run out for 10 after a schoolboy mix-up with Cowan who fell for 36 in the next over, caught at second slip to the bowling of Dhammika Prasad (1-39).

Bradley 'Super' Skeete will expect much tougher challenges as he gradually works his way to the top of the professional boxing ranks, writes Ziad Chaudry .
The 24-year-old from Battersea dug deep to outpoint London Irishman Peter McDonagh over 10 rounds to claim his first pro title British Masters welterweight title last Friday at York Hall, Bethnal Green.
In a closely contested affair, the former Earlsfield ABC representative dominated during the closing rounds to edge it 97-95 on referee Ken Curtis's scorecard.
"Peter McDonagh was the toughest test I've had so far, it was a good learning experience," said a jubilant Skeete, who extends his perfect record to nine wins.
"I expected 10 hard rounds and I got them, that's what I needed."
Skeete now hopes to take on Southern area champion Chas 'The Bomb' Symonds, who pulled out of a meeting last week.
Symonds, 30, who won the title in April, was due to fight Skeete last Friday before deciding to pull out just two weeks before.
Skeete said: "Chas has to put up and shut up because that's the fight I'm getting next."
"Chas is talking about fighting for the British title but he is so deluded. You've got to defend your title and earn to fight for the British title."

Time's A-WastingProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
A digital clock tells the time in hours and minutes. During what fraction of the day does it display at least one '1'?
Answer720/1440 or 1/2
Here's the systematic approach to getting the answer:
Convert all the times of the day into simple numbers: 1:00 = 100, etc...
From 100-159, there are 60 times that there is at least one '1'.
This is the same for the ranges of 1000-1059, 1100-1159, and 1200-1259.
From 200-259, there are 15 times that there is at least one '1'
This is the same for ranges of 300-359, 400-459, 500-559, 600-659, 700-759, 800-859, and 900-959.
That means 8 ranges have 15 times, 4 ranges have 60 times. We'll double this to convert to a 24-hour day:
2[(15)(8) + (60)(4)] = 720 total times that there is at least one '1'.
To figure out the total number of times that any number is shown at least once, we know there are 60 times between any range listed above, so we simply multiply by 24 to get the total number of times in 24 hours.
(24)(60) = 1440 total times.

Lia Active Member Offline Posts: 131 Re: Lucifer chart « Reply #45 on: Jan 18, 2010, 05:24 PM » Hi Ari, As for neptune - I am still working on that it will probably take some time until I feel its 'good enough':-) About the 3 Liliths I've done a presentation on the subject in the last EA conference ...2006 was it I think. It's on DVD. Write an email if you'd like to have it. Well if you don't mind my hungarian accent! :-) I paste the description below. Blessings, LiaThe three Liliths: Our feminine principle and its evolution before, during and beyond the patriarchy Description of the symbols: There are three different symbols in the natal chart which are a bit confusing for many because they are all called Lilith. These are: Lilith the asteroid, Dark Moon Lilith, and Black Moon Lilith. Asteroid Lilith is one asteroid within the many, its number 1181 on Astrodienst website. Dark Moon Lilith or Waldemath Dark Moon is a debated dark body/shadow revolving around the Earth. As it is debated it has more than one ephemeris, on Solar Fire we will have a 10-12 degrees different ephemeris than on Astrodienst website. Its number on Astrodienst is h58, it is listed within the so called 'hypothetical planet list as Waldemath Dark Moon. The third symbol is Black Moon Lilith which is the ever moving focal point between the Moon and the Earth. This symbol is a point in space, an empty point which in essence symbolises the mid point on an invisible 'wire' between the Moon and the Earth.Today it comes up on Astrodienst within the most used asteroids vindow as 'Lilith'. It is though Black Moon Lilith, its number is h13.These three symbols in their totality correlate to our inner feminine principle there is a sequence hidden in them; they tell a threefold story of this aspect of our consciousness within our unique, individual soul-history embracing past, present and future. Meaning they unravel the mystery how our inner feminine principle have been affected, how it operated before and then during the patriarchy while the symbolism also points out the way how our feminine principle can be healed and grow beyond the patriarchal distortion. These symbols can be applied to individual as well as to collective charts; shedding light on the feminine principle and its evolution. Outline of lecture: These three symbols will be presented from the point of view how they correlate to our inner feminine principle no regards in which gender are we incarnating. Lilith the asteroid in any chart is an indicator of our original, individual feminine aspect how it was experienced within equality based matriarchal social setting. It will also correlate to how this aspect of our soul reacted to the transition of the patriarchy when - relative to our own soul history - it begun it became a part of our experiences. We all have this essential feminine aspect within our soul and of course this principle has been wounded and distorted in all of us via the take over of the patriarchy -whether we know it consciously or not. How we encountered and then responded to this new patriarchal order at the first place will be signified by asteroid Lilith. This symbol sheds light on our individual history in this respect, via sign house and aspects. From there onward a progressive distortion occurred to our feminine nature in one way or another. This progressive distortion during and because of the patriarchy has a peak; which is the greatest distortion of our feminine aspect caused by the insanity of the unnatural order within which we were all forced to live. The symbol for this peak distortion is symbolized by Dark Moon Lilith/Waldemath Dark Moon. Interesting to note the fact that today we have two different ephemeris to this symbol: it's a kind of a shadow noted by only a few and debated by many. The two different ephemeris literally 'shadow' an area in our chart instead of giving a fix point. Perhaps it is symbolic to the fact that the distortion is more than a point; it's, an area in our consciousness through which the feminine in us has been most deeply affected by this peak distortion symbolism. To me it reflects on the fact that the distortion is manifold impacting a whole area; and from there of course affecting our overall consciousness. The area that is between the two points (that the two different ephemeris gives) is usually between six to fifteen degrees. Thus it sometimes falls in one sign and house but sometimes affecting another house and sign as well. The fact that it is debated, it is unclear and yet still known and used in different programs with different ephemeris to me appears as a perfectly fitting correlation: a feeling of uncertainty as it kind of goes into an unknown darkness. Unclear boundaries of an uncertain territory; the nature of the shadow. The third symbol is Black Moon Lilith; the focal point between the Moon and Earth. This is the balancing/ resolving symbol. It points out the way how to heal and how to recover our wounded, distorted feminine principle. This threefold symbolism clearly demonstrates what and how it happened relative to our own soul history (our whole chart) and relative to our own inner feminine principle (Lilith). This original feminine is what has been 'cast out' forcing it to sank into an 'unclear darkness' (Dark Moon Lilith) during the patriarchy -collectively as well as individually. Millenniums when women had to literally stop existing as they once were. This affected each one of us no matter what gender we were manifesting through. Our inner feminine principle was shattered inwardly and outwardly to become a shadow. Just as women had to literally become a shadow; a shadow of men as it was described to them and was the only way for them to exist. The resolution point, Black Moon Lilith being the focal point between the Moon and the Earth has a deep symbolism; it is the center point, the balance point between the Earth and it's water moving, life giving, balancing celestial body- part: the Moon. According to current scientific researches the formation of the Moon is what triggered a chemical and climatic chain reaction which resulted in life on Earth as we know it today. Black Moon Lilith is the symbol in our chart via which we can consciously heal, resolve and re-embrace our inner feminine principle. It points the way how this cast out, wounded part of us which has been diminished to be a shadow can be resolved to re-emerge intact again in our consciousness. Without the healing of the feminine no healthy life is possible neither for women nor men. The imbalance of life caused by the patriarchy must be re-balanced and healed within us all; Black Moon Lilith points out our own unique way which of course is connected to our original feminine principle and the specific wounds and distortions it went through. This focal point is like an invisible bridge between the Earth and its most immediate "heavenly" partner, the Moon. Healing our inner feminine aspect leads to healing our emotions and our self image. (Moon) The three Lilith symbols in the chart tell an interesting and complex story within our soul-history, the story of our feminine principle. It embraces past, present and the direction of the future from this particular point of view; the evolution of our feminine principle. The three Liliths can be applied to individual as well as collective charts: they always shed light what and how happened to the original feminine principle and how this principle can return either within us as individuals or within a collective soul. (Demonstration via an interrelated past life story of three souls and their chart analysis from the point of view of the three Liliths) « Last Edit: Jan 18, 2010, 06:04 PM by Lia » Logged Pages: 1 2 3 [4] Go Up Print « previous next » Jump to: Please select a destination: ----------------------------- Discussion ----------------------------- => Evolutionary Astrology Q&A => Astrología Evolutiva - Foro en Español ----------------------------- Study Materials ----------------------------- => Misc. ===> In the News Powered by SMF 1.1.14 | SMF © 2006-2011, Simple Machines LLC design by Crip Loading...

Borden Murder
4 August 1892 — Fall River
Lizzie Andrew Borden (July 19, 1860 – June 1, 1927) was the central figure in the hatchet murders of her father and stepmother on August 4, 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts. The murders, subsequent trial, and following trial by media have often compare with O. J. Simpson's Murder Trial, but the evidences against her were much weaker than the ones against O.J. Simpson. The timeline is as follows:
9:00 AM - Borden's guest, John Morse who was staying in the guest room left the house to visit some friends. Shortly after that, Andrew Borden left the house to take care some business. John Morse visited a lot of people and had plenty of alibi for his where about.
9:10 AM - Abby instructed the maid, Bridget Sullivan, a recent Irish immigrant, to wash all the windows inside and out
9:10 - ? - Some one killed Abbey Borden in the John Morse ( guest room ). Since the guest bed is between Abbey's body and door, no one could have seemed her body without entering the guest room.
10:45 AM - Andrew Borden left the bank as noted by the bank clerk.
11:00 AM - The maid Bridget opens the door and let in Andrew Borden, then went upstairs to take a nap. As she goes upstairs, she heard the town's bell ring eleven time.
11:15 AM - Bridget get awoken by Lizzie saying that her father has been murdered. Lizzie claimed that she just came in from the barn and found her father's body. The barn is a separate building from the house.
11:20 AM - Police were notified there has been a murder in Borden house.
11:25 AM - The first police arrived at the house, in the following minutes more police arrived and begin searching the house.. It was around noon that they discovered Abbey Borden's body in the guest room (John Morse's room), from the dried blood, it was apparent she has been dead for many hours.
That means Lizzie had only 15 minutes to give her father 11 to 13 whacks with a hatchet, clean herself of blood, hide the hatchet and wake up Bridget. This is why the guides at Lizzie Borden Inn believe it was a conspiracy. That Lizzie, maid Bridget, her sister Emma (out of town at the time) and the unknown killer were all in on the conspiracy. It was very interesting that everyone involved had excellent memory of the time, the maid Bridget, the bank teller and John Morse.
Although Lizzie Borden was acquitted, no one else was ever arrested or tried, and she has remained notorious in American folklore and the famous rhyme,
" Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks, when she saw what she has done, she gave her father 41 whacks."
Note the whack counts are inaccurate as Andrew Borden only got about 11 to 13 whacks.

Nats weather the storm, outlast Braves in 11
After rain delay of nearly four hours, Ramos puts club on top in extras
ATLANTA -- After a rain delay of three hours and 41 minutes on Saturday night at Turner Field, the Nationals and Braves found themselves in pitchers' duel. When it was over, the Nationals prevailed, 4-1, in 11 innings early Sunday morning.
With the victory, the Nationals increased their lead over the Braves in the National League East to 4 1/2 games.
"Considering what happened today, [the win] was pretty good for us. We fought them all the way," Nationals manager Matt Williams said.
The game started at 10:51 p.m. ET on Saturday and it ended at 2:29 a.m. on Sunday. Instead of playing a doubleheader on Sunday, the two teams decided to stick around because they weren't scheduled to play again until Sunday night at 8:05 p.m.
Waiting for the rain to subside paid off for the Nationals. With the score tied at 1, the Nationals rallied and scored three runs in the 11th inning. Right-hander David Carpenter started the inning for Atlanta and allowed consecutive singles to Anthony Rendon and Adam LaRoche. After Ian Desmond lined out to left fielder Justin Upton, Carpenter was taken out of the game in favor of left-hander James Russell.
That brought up Bryce Harper, who walked on five pitches to load the bases. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez then brought in right-hander Anthony Varvaro. Wilson Ramos came to the plate and gave himself a birthday present, as he turned 27 on Sunday. He swung at the first pitch and singled to center field, scoring Rendon.
Kevin Frandsen followed and put the game away when he doubled over the head of right fielder Jason Heyward, scoring LaRoche and Harper.
"Wilson had a huge at-bat," Frandsen said. "Nobody probably talks about it enough, but Bryce's at-bat against Russell was big. You have a lefty-lefty specialist and Bryce loads the bases for Willie. Willie does his thing. He had one heck of an at-bat. I was fortunate enough to get the ball over Heyward's head or deep enough to get a run in. It worked out."
Rafael Soriano shut down the Braves in the bottom of the 11th inning and picked up his 26th save of the season.
"It's a big win because it's two teams competing [hard against] each other -- late start and all that," Frandsen said. "You saw two teams just going at it. It's one of those things."
The rain delay had no effect on the starting pitchers. In fact, they were outstanding. Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark pitched seven innings, allowing one run on six hits while striking out six.
Braves right-hander Aaron Harang also pitched seven innings, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out two.
Washington scored first, and that came in the sixth inning off Harang. LaRoche led off and swung at a 2-0 pitch, sending the ball over the right-field wall for his 16th home run of the season.
"Harang gave us a [good] opportunity," Gonzalez said. "When it's the 10th inning there at 2 in the morning, you forget how well Harang pitched."
Atlanta tied the game in the bottom of the inning. The Braves had the bases loaded with no outs, but Roark managed to avoid major trouble by allowing just a sacrifice fly to Heyward that scored Tommy La Stella.
"Leadoff walks always hurt and it showed tonight. I tried not to give in and keep going at them, keep attacking them, keep making my pitches," Roark said. "Most of the time when the bases are loaded, you have to think, 'OK, the runner on third most likely is going to score. Best-case scenario, you try to get a ground-ball double play.' That's what I was thinking. I came out with only one run. It was big."
Big enough to keep the Nationals in the game before winning it in the 11th.

ORANGE CITY, Fla. - A man who deputies say stole trailers from Orange City, DeLand and Deltona and sold them to Orlando residents and businesses has been arrested.
Deputies said Michael Desaussure, 53, had previously been arrested in similar trailer theft cases but bonded out of jail. He was wanted again for dealing in stolen property after an investigation found he targets unattended trailers during the day and takes them to Orlando to sell them hours later.
Desaussure first stole a 1996 flatbed 16-foot utility trailer from a residence near Orange City on Jan. 3 and was arrested later that day for dealing in stolen property on an unrelated trailer case. By the time the investigation led them to the other trailer thefts, Desaussure had bonded out of jail and vanished.
Desaussure was served with the second warrant in Seminole County. He has bonded out of jail, deputies said.
Anyone with information about trailers bought from him is asked to call Sgt. Virgil Ford at (386) 668-3830 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida, toll-free, at (888) 277-TIPS.
