The Guernsey County Sheriffs Office is hoping to enlist the nationally-broadcast Americas Most Wanted television show to assist with apprehending fugitives John Stoneman and Patricia A. Kelley.
Stoneman (aka Randy D. Weckbacher), 38, and Kelley (aka Patricia A. Dowell), 38, are both charged with first-degree felony rape for the alleged rape of a handicapped four-year-old girl in Kelleys care.
We have prepared and sent an information packet to Americas Most Wanted in hopes they will be willing to feature the case on the television show, said Guernsey County Sheriff Mike McCauley. We want these two in custody.
McCauley said he expects the representatives of the show will contact him once they receive the packet.
Investigators have described the sexual assault of the girl as one of the most horrendous cases they have investigated. Kelley was reportedly being paid to take care of the girl, who is unable to see or communicate with others.
Both Stoneman and Kelley are facing federal arrest warrants after the Federal Bureau of Investigation charged the two with flight to avoid apprehension.
Stoneman and Kelley were reportedly last seen driving a light gray Saturn bearing a license plate number, DU27SX.
The last known contact with Stoneman and Kelley was a letter, postmarked from Pittsburgh, Pa., to a local address. The two are both reportedly originally from the Canton area.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriffs office at 439-4455.
The two have been on the run since July, when Stoneman failed to appear in the Cambridge Municipal Court to answer to charges of unlawful possession of a dangerous ordnance, a fifth-degree felony; and one count each pandering obscenity involving a minor and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, both fourth-degree felonies..
He was free on a $50,000 bond stemming from the charges filed after a search warrant was executed by the U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) and Guernsey County sheriffs detectives on June 24 as part of an Internet child pornography investigation originating in California.
As a result of the search warrant, authorities seized an illegal assault rifle, grenade launcher, video tapes, video recorders, identification cards and credit cards in various names.

I am only a quarter Irish, but St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I had a great holiday weekend, in a small town known as the Irish capital of Nebraska. After a weekend of bad habits (unhealthy food – vegetarians don't fare well in small towns, falling asleep in makeup, too much alcohol, not enough water, no formal workouts, etc.) I looked in the mirror and saw more imperfections emerging than I'd seen in months. So, what a great time to turn to a couple old faves and try out some some new skin products.
First, I washed my face with Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Facewash. I have been pretty satisfied with this face wash. I love anything with scrubbing beads in it and I love anything that keeps acne at bay, so this is a good combo of both.
Next, and I was so looking forward to this, I did the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask. Love this mask. My pores feel so tight and clean after using it. The only suggestion I would make is be sure to apply it thickly in all spots because if you have any spots that are too thin they will be more difficult to peel. Some people prefer wash off masks but I am a superfan of this peel off version. I recently got a sample of the black moisturizer – I'm excited to try and you'll hear about it when I do 🙂
On to the new products . . .not my first date with Philosophy, so I came in a little biased. So far I had not tried on a product that I didn't like. This one didn't disappoint either. I purchased the Dark Spot Correcting Kit because I find the older get, the slower my skin bounces back from blackheads, whiteheads, sunburns, etc. You pour the liquid over the pads, which is nice if they dry out it's your own fault for not sealing the cap tight enough 🙂 The kit cost about $80 for 30 days worth. They suggest doing it every night, but I'll probably go with once or twice a week to save money. You move the pad over your face and heads. It's odd because it felt moisturizing and stimulating at the same time. It brought a fresh rosiness to my face, so I knew it was stimulating circulation. But the oil felt soft and soothing. Then you add the brightening cream which, and I don't know why this was shocking to me, comes out tan. Obviously, you can't evaluate the full result after one use, but I will continue using and give an update in a few weeks.
Finally, as a result of my CVS addiction, I got a new moisturizer, Nuance AM/PM Anti-Aging Super Cream. Nuance is Salma Hayek's line, carried exclusively by CVS (as far as I know.) I had tried a conditioner in this line, and it was fine, but didn't really wow me. The moisturizer I did really like though. It has a nice citrusy scent, and it was heavy enough for dry skin, but light enough for daytime. I could tell it had antiaging ingredients because I could feel a little bit of a lift after using it. It cost about $20, which at first I thought might not be worth it. But then I rethought how little it took it to cover my whole face, and therefore how long the jar will last.

Obama to sign vererans health care overhaul
Veterans are expected to have an easier time getting government-paid health care from local doctors under a bill that President Barack Obama is set to sign into law today, Thursday.
The $16.3 billion measure also allows the Veterans Affairs Department to hire thousands of doctors, nurses and other health professionals at the VA's nearly 1,000 hospitals and outpatient clinics nationwide.
Under the new law, employment rules will be revised to make it easier to fire senior VA executives judged to be negligent or performing poorly.
Obama is traveling to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, an Army base 20 miles south of Washington, to sign the bill. Congress approved the measure last week before taking a five-week recess — one of the few significant bills approved this year by both the House and the Senate.
The legislation is a response to reports of veterans dying while awaiting appointments to see VA doctors and of a widespread practice of employees covering up months-long wait times for appointments. In some cases, employees received bonuses based on falsified records.
The veterans bill, approved with strong bipartisan support, devotes $10 billion in emergency spending over three years to pay private doctors and other health professionals to care for qualifying veterans who can't get timely appointments at VA hospitals or clinics or who live more than 40 miles from one of them. It includes $5 billion for hiring more VA doctors, nurses and other medical staff and $1.3 billion to open 27 new VA clinics across the country.
The VA has taken "aggressive steps" in recent months to address systemic problems found in its health care system, with reform measures expected to continue and accelerate under new VA Secretary Robert McDonald.
McDonald, a former Procter & Gamble CEO, was sworn in July 30 to lead the sprawling agency, which employs more than 310,000 people and provides health care for nearly 9 million enrolled veterans and disability compensation for nearly 4 million veterans.
The VA announced last week that it planned to fire two supervisors and discipline four other employees in Colorado and Wyoming accused of falsifying health care data.
Deputy Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson said more VA employees will be disciplined as the agency tries to root out the causes of a scandal that he said has breached the trust between veterans and the agency created to serve them.
Gibson, who served as acting secretary for two months after Eric Shinseki resigned as VA secretary, has vowed to protect employees who file whistleblower complaints — a promise McDonald has echoed since taking office. Any intimidation or retaliation against employees who raise concerns will not be tolerated, they said.
Veterans, sound of on this issue! Submit your Letter to the Editor to the Jennings Daily News for publication by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or mailing the letter to P.O. Box 910, Jennings, LA 70546.

Ventral Hernia
When a bulge appears on the surface of the body, especially on or around the abdomen, most people fear of cancerous tumor. But to your information it may not always be a tumor but possibly a Hernia. There are different types of hernia such as Epigastric Hernia, Umbilical Hernia, Inguinal Hernia, Femoral Hernia, etc. But here we will be discussing about Ventral Hernia.
Ventral Hernia Definition
Most people would wonder what is Ventral Hernia actually and how does it affect? There is not ascertained definition for Ventral Hernia; however, here is a useful description of the condition. Ventral Hernia is also scientifically referred to as Incisional Hernia, which is a condition occurring at debile region due to unhealed surgical incision. This condition is usually prevalent at abdominal region.
Hernia is a physical glitch wherein internal parts, such as abdomen or intestine protrude. When this happens in normal state of body, the surrounding tissues and muscles encloses the organ with the cavity. However, in case of Hernia the surrounding muscles and tissues are weak which causes the protrusion to come out of the cavity. This condition causes discomfort in affected person and can be cured with appropriate treatment.
Ventral Hernia Symptoms
There are several symptoms experienced by a Ventral Hernia patient. These symptoms may include:
Swelling is the most common and frequently recorded sign of Hernia. The engorgement caused internally is noticeable on the surface as well.
The swollen organ is noticeable as a protuberance in the affected person. It can be seen even when an affected person is lying down.
To your information, Ventral Hernia is usually painless, even to the sense of touch. However, in cases wherein the swollen body part is still encapsulated with weak muscles and tissue, pain is a common sign. In some cases the condition may develop necrosis due to reduction or no blood supply to the protruded part. This causes the tissues to die and result in necrosis.
There are also other symptoms of the condition such as:
- No bowel movement (experienced in case of incarcerated hernia)
- Vomiting
- Queasiness
- Increased heart rate
- And sometimes tenderness to touch
If the condition is not treated timely, then some symptoms may tend to exacerbate with time, such as, swelling, pain, heart palpitation rate, etc.

Ventral Hernia Causes
There are number of factors that may serve as a reason for Hernia affliction. Below mentioned are some of the possible causes of hernia.
Unhealed surgical incision
The hernia that we are dealing with, Ventral Hernia is caused usually due to operated region which is debile due to incompletely healed surgery incision.
Weakened Stomach wall
Weakened stomach wall is a common physical factor that leads to hernia. The protruded body part tares these weakened muscles and comes out from its place
Infected surgical incision
A Ventral Hernia may also occur due to internal surgical incision becoming infected.
Hematoma is a condition wherein blot clots are developed. If this condition afflicts around the surgically operated area of the body it may cause lead to the condition.
In certain cases, there is a delay on incomplete healing of incision due to inappropriate supply of nutrients to the surrounding tissues. This is yet another reason why Ventral Hernia may occur.
Torn stitches
However, tearing of stitches have indirect link with the physical anomaly. Any incision undergoing stress and strain may get torn. This may cause bleeding and possibly infection, which in turn may lead to ventral hernia.
It is studied that surplus fat in the body usually causes delayed healing of operated region. This may increase chance of possible rupture to the muscle tissues surrounding the region.
Age is again a factor that causes surgical incision to heal slowly, during which the incision may undergo strain causing wear and tare of the wound. However, generally the immune response and self repairing ability of body in older individual is weaker as compared to younger individuals.
Surprisingly, intense coughing may exert spontaneous tremendous pressure on the operated region and may perhaps cause the wound to undergo rupture leading to Ventral Hernia.
The risk of getting afflicted with hernia, caused due to delayed healing, can be reduced by taking medicines that heal the wound fast. These medications are prescribed by the doctor generally.
Ventral Hernia Treatment
Ventral Hernia should not be taken lightly as it is a serious and discomforting condition. It is best to treat the condition timely as early as possible. In some cases immediate treatment becomes necessary, such as in case of Strangulated Hernia. Here are some possible treatments of Hernia.
Medical Treatment for Ventral Hernia
There are several medicines that may be prescribed by your doctor in order to cope with the condition. These medicines may include:
NSAIDs or Non Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs
These medicines may be prescribed in order to provide relief from pain and swelling. Some NSAIDs may be given in order to reduce fever or high body temperature.
Steroids are usually prescribed to hernia patient in order to alleviate inflammation
Antibiotics are prescribed to a Ventral Hernia patient in order to avoid any possibility of infection that may result from bacteria. Consider taking this medicine unless your doctor asks you to stop its use.
Home treatment for Ventral Hernia
There are also some home based measures that may help in coping with hernia.
- Avoid exerting pressure on the affected region
- Use supportive hernia belt which helps in reducing pressure
- Avoid smoking
- Take proper nutrient that may help in strengthening the muscles
- If you are suffering from constipation then try to control it
Ventral Hernia Repair
Ventral Hernia repair with Mesh
The Ventral Hernia repair method, which includes mesh, is scientifically referred to as laparoscopic Ventral Hernia repair. This surgical procedure involves use of laparoscopes, which are significantly small cameras, mostly used in medical industry. In this surgical operation a smaller incision is made to insert the laparoscope and perform the operation. The patient who is suggested laparoscopic surgical treatment is instructed to have some lifestyle changes for faster healing of the wound. He/ She may also be suggested to take precautions against physical conditions that may cause sneezing or intense coughing.
A Ventral Hernia repair usually involves installation of supportive mesh of synthetic material. Meshes are commonly used to support the weakened muscle tissues and hold them in place averting further ruptures from stretching. This method is also colloquially referred to as tension free method of muscles repair
Ventral Hernia repair Complications
Here are some possible complication that may occur in case of Ventral Hernia repair:-
- Reaction to general aesthesia
- Bleeding
- Intestinal injury
- Abdominal injury
- Infection in mesh (which may need replacement or removal)
- Pneumonia
- Blood clots
- In some cases even after undergoing the surgery the condition may affect again
Ventral Hernia Surgery
Treating Ventral Hernia usually involves surgical procedures to repair the torn region. Hence, Ventral Hernia surgery is mostly suggested by doctors to Incisional hernia patients:
Under this surgical procedure the swollen organ or part is replaced and a support to the abdominal muscles is implanted. This kind of surgery requires big incision and takes longer time to be healed completely.
How is Ventral Hernia Diagnosed?
In order to confirm whether you are affected by Ventral Hernia there are several diagnoses that may be suggested for a patient, these tests may include:-
Abdominal Ultrasound
CT scan or Computed Tomography Scan
Laparoscopy test
Ventral Hernia Prevention
It is always better to practice prevention then struggling for treatment later. Hence here are some useful Ventral Hernia preventions:
- Avert constipation
- Treat cough issues
- Reduce weight
- Do moderate exercises or yoga
- Avoid doing heavy work during the first week after any abdominal surgery

A Chinese court will deliver its verdict on Monday against Gu Kailai, the wife of disgraced politician Bo Xilai, on charges of killing a British businessman last year in a scandal that has shaken the Communist Party's transition to a new leadership.
When a court in the eastern city of Hefei announces its verdict at a hearing starting at 9 a.m. (9.00 p.m. EDT), Gu could receive the death penalty, along with a family aide, Zhang Xiaojun, who was also tried for the murder.
But many lawyers have said Gu is likely to receive a long jail term, because official accounts of the case have highlighted her claim that she was trying to protect her son.
At a trial on August 9, Gu admitted to poisoning the businessman Neil Heywood, and alleged that an economic dispute between them led him to threaten her son, Bo Guagua, according to official accounts published by state media. Zhang, the aide, has not disputed the murder charge but his lawyer said he was a mere accomplice to Gu.
Gu's trial is probably a prelude to formal punishment of Bo Xilai, a brashly ambitious politician under investigation for alleged violations of party discipline -- an accusation that covers corruption, abuse of power and other misdeeds. After the party leadership decides on those allegations, Bo could also face criminal charges related to the murder case.
"I don't think it's likely that Gu will receive the death penalty," said He Weifang, a professor of law at Peking University who has followed the case closely.
"I think Bo Xilai will also face a criminal trial," said He.
"I don't think it's likely he could claim that from the poisoning in November last year, he had no clue about it, and if he did but tried to hide it or didn't come forward, then that might constitute concealing a crime or obstructing justice."
Bo's hopes for securing a spot in China's next top leadership unraveled after his former police chief, Wang Lijun, fled to a U.S. consulate in early February for about 24 hours and exposed the murder allegations.
Legal experts and Bo's supporters have questioned the official version of events outlined in court statements and a detailed report by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
"The story spun about a mother sacrificing herself for her own can hardly deceive anyone," Hu Shuli, editor-in-chief of Caixin Media, wrote in an editorial last week.
Bo, the son of a revolutionary, ran the southwestern city of Chongqing where Heywood was killed in November. Bo was seen as competing for a place in the Politburo Standing Committee, the body at the pinnacle of power in China, at a once-a-decade leadership transition later this year.
His downfall has stirred more division than that of any other leader for more than 30 years. To leftist supporters, Bo was a charismatic rallying figure for efforts to reimpose party control over dizzying, unequal market growth.
But he made powerful enemies among those who saw him as an opportunist who wanted to impose his policies on the country.
Bo was sacked as Chongqing boss in March and Gu was publicly accused of the murder in April, when Bo was suspended from the Politburo, a 25-member elite council that ranks below the Standing Committee. He has yet to be expelled from that council.
Four Chinese policemen have also been charged with trying to protect Gu from investigation -- a development that could also prove dangerous for Bo.
Police sources in Chongqing have said Bo tried to shut down the investigation into his wife after being told she was a suspect. Bo has not been seen in public since March, when he gave a combative defense of his policies and families at a news conference during China's annual parliament session.
Gu cut a plain figure in her court appearance on August 9. She appeared to have put on weight since she was detained, a far cry from the smartly dressed, petite woman shown in past photos.
A court official at the closed-door trial quoted prosecutors as saying Gu's aide Zhang drove Heywood to Chongqing last November from Beijing and prepared a poison which was to be put into a drink of water.
Later that day, Heywood met Gu at a hotel, he became drunk and then asked for water, the official said.
"She poured a poison into his mouth," the court official said, citing the prosecution's account. Heywood's family has said he rarely drank alcohol.
Gu and Zhang stood trial in Hefei, provincial capital of Anhui in eastern China. The government has not said why it held the trial there, but Hefei is more than 1,000 km (650 miles) east of Chongqing, where Bo remains a popular figure.

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, has returned to the Destiny Tower with a collection of Exotic armor and weapons that have not been sold in a while. PlayStation and Xbox players shouldn't expect to be blown away by the offerings this week, but there is the return of Thunderlord to consider.
Xûr can be found in the very back of the bar located underneath Future War Cult in the hangar this weekend. It's a long jog, but easy to find. Just turn left when you enter the hanger, go down the stairs to the left, and then straight back. Here's where you can find him on the Tower map just to be sure, though.
Xûr and his items will only be available in Destiny through the morning of Sunday, January 3. He will be gone as soon as the clock strikes 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT.

For those wondering what to get, here are a few helpful hints.
Thunderlord is a beast of a machine gun in Destiny PVE scenarios thanks to its high stability, large clip, and perks. It's a go-to weapon in Nightfall and Weekly Heroic Strikes that use Arc burn, and it comes with a hidden perk that occasionally causes enemies to explode with Arc damage on kills. It's also a solid weapon to use in Crucible due to the high impact rounds.
Empyrean Bellicose
Aside from being a cool-looking Titan helmet in Destiny, Empyrean Bellicose has a deceptively beneficial suite of perks, even if it may not be a top-tier piece. The main perk, "Antigrav Thrusters," allows Titans to hover in the air while aiming. The other half of that perk gives a melee recharge when picking up Orbs of Light, which synergizes well with the different Titan subclass melee abilities.
The random perk rolls give "Hands On" and "Heavy Lifting" in the third column for more Super Energy from melee and Heavy Weapon kills against minions. "Infusion" for health regeneration on Orb pickup is the final column perk.
The split 47 Intellect/45 Discipline stat roll is average. Destiny players picking this up will want to consider re-rolling with Glass Needles to get "Inverse Shadow" combined with either "Better Already" or "Infusion" in the third column.
Skyburners Annex
The Skyburners Annex helm will turn Hunters into every Destiny player's best friend. The intrinsic "Versatile Shooter" perk generates extra Orbs of Light with a chance to receive extra Special Weapon ammo when picking up Orbs. The Nightstalker subclass is already a prolific Orbs of Light generator and there's a chance to create up to 50 percent more with this helmet on.
The optional perks are "Hands On" for extra Super energy from melee kills and "Heavy Lifting" for extra Super energy from Heavy Weapon kills. There is also the "Infusion" perk for health regeneration on Orb pickup.
The 49 Intellect/51 Strength is solid for the Skyburners Annex. Destiny players will only need to use Glass Needles to shoot for "Inverse Shadow" in the third column along with "Infusion" in the final column.
Alchemist's Raiment
This chest piece will definitely make Warlocks the best dressed Destiny Guardians in any activity. Additionally, the intrinsic "Iron to Gold" perk gives Glimmer when picking up Primary Weapon ammo and gives bonus Grenade and Melee energy when picking up Orbs of Light while the Super energy bar is full.
The optional perks roll well for Stormcallers. In addition to the optional perk that grans more Special or Heavy ammo, it also comes with the choice between "Arc Burn Defense" and "Arc Armor."
Alchemists's Raiment is a neutral piece but best fits the Sunsinger and Stormcaller. However, Destiny players have discovered the "Iron to Gold" perk does not drop Glimmer at a particularly steady rate. Still, the 95 Intellect is a nice boost for those in need of more Super energy regeneration.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Prognosis with both COPD and CHF
My father is 68 years old and has been battling COPD for 8 - 10 years with it becoming severe in the last 2-3 years. He has also been diagnosed with severe CHF. WE (our family) did not realize the severity of the heart and want to know the probable prognosis. How long would the average person in this condition be able to survive?
COPD is a chronic condition with multiple factors that impact survival. The addition of congestive heart failure as a diagnosis adds additional factors.
While a specific prognosis for your father cannot be made here, there are important questions to ask:
- How severe is your father's COPD based on his pulmonary function tests (what is his forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1])?
- Does your father have higher than normal carbon dioxide levels?
- Is your father using oxygen?
- How short of breath is your father--at rest? with mild activity? with higher levels of activity?
- Can your father walk very far or is he limited to a chair or bed?
- Has your father ever participated in pulmonary rehabilitation?
- How is your father's weight? Is he very thin?
The severity of COPD, presence of high carbon dioxide levels, severe activity limitations and weight loss are known to negatively impact survival. Oxygen therapy has been shown to improve survival if a patient has low oxygen levels. Pulmonary rehabilitation, while not shown to improve survival overall, does improve activity tolerance.
Has your father been seen by a pulmonologist (a physician who specializes in pulmonary diseases)? If not, this type of specialist can comprehensively evaluate your father's condition and ensure that he is being treated in the best manner. With the information needs listed above, a pulmonologist could provide more specific answers to your questions.

Both fighters seemed content to resort to wrestling tactics and boos rang out after the ninth round.
A cheer greeted the arrival of the 12th and final round, before Skelton was announced as the winner.
One judge scored the fight a draw (114-114) but the other two (117-113 and 115-114) gave it to Skelton.
Promoter Frank Warren had promised the winner of the contest a world title shot by the end of the year but on the evidence of the performance, none of the four champions will be unduly worried by Skelton.
Kevin Mitchell added the vacant WBO Intercontinental super featherweight title to his IBF version with a second-round knockout of Alexander Hrluev.
The Russian could not win the title after coming in overweight and was out-classed by Mitchell, who was taller with a longer reach.
Hrluev was dropped with a crushing left hand before third man in the ring Howard Foster decided he had seen too much.
Mitchell, 22, is now unbeaten in 24 fights with 16 knockouts.
Welshman Bradley Pryce defended his Commonwealth light middleweight title with a seventh-round stoppage of Anthony Small.
Small, who had been unbeaten in 17 fights, started well but by the sixth round, Pryce's punches left him with a bloody nose.
In the next round, Pryce connected with a big right hand and the 26-year-old finished his opponent after two minutes and 14 seconds with a barrage of punches, to the dismay of Small and his fans.

London, July 13(ANI): Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has said fast bowler Brett Lee had an outstanding career, and he had raised the bar for pace bowlers of this generation by bowling consistently at extremely fast speed even during days before retiring.
Waugh said many kids, including his, look up to Lee, and want to follow his footsteps.
"I know my son always looked up to him and I am sure that was the case for many kids," The Age quoted Waugh, as saying.
"I think he's had an outstanding career, and in a lot of ways, he has raised the bar for quick bowlers in the future because, generally, quick bowlers after they turn 30, wind down and bowl at 80 per cent pace," he added.
"Brett went at 100 per cent for his whole career, which is incredible to think the strain and the effort he put his body through and the amount of injuries he'd overcome," he said.
Waugh further added: "The resilience that he showed was quite amazing, and I really take my hat off for him that even in his last game of cricket at age 34 or 35, he was still bowling 100 per cent flat out and never pulled back at all. He always bowled to the max and very few bowlers in the history of the game have done that."
"Always flat out - and I think the great thing about Brett was the enthusiasm and the love of the game he always brought to the team. He had a great attitude, it was infectious and people followed what he was doing. He was never a problem in the side, never stepped out of linem or was an issue for any captain to look after. He was easy to look after and he gave a lot to the team," Waugh concluded. (ANI)

Sunday afternoon will be the 2012 home finale for the Philadelphia Eagles, and it may be the last home game of the Andy Reid era. Running back LeSean McCoy will be back as the Eagles will look for their fifth win of the season and play spoiler against the NFC East division-leading Washington Redskins. Here is the positional matchup preview for the game.
Quarterback: Rookie quarterback Nick Foles' first start was against the Redskins just over a month ago. Foles struggled, as he only had eight completions against a five man rush. Meanwhile, rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III is expected to play after missing last week's game with a knee injury. Griffin III is a threat not only with his arm, but with his legs as well regardless of the injury. Washington gets the advantage.
Running back: LeSean McCoy is playing in his first game in a month after suffering a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys in November. He's averaging only 4.2 yards per carry this year, half a yard below his career average. Alfred Morris is having 4.7 yards per carry this season with over 1,300 yards accumulated in 2012. Head coach Mike Shanahan is a run-first coach, and the Eagles should expect a fair amount of rushes on Sunday afternoon. Because McCoy is always a dangerous running back, there is no advantage for either team.
Receiving: Jeremy Maclin appears to be Foles' go-to receiver thus far, as he has been targeted an average of 11 times per game the past two weeks. Clay Harbor is out for the final two games of the season with a back injury. A health Pierre Garcon gives Griffin III a go-to receiver with an average of nine targets per game over the past four games. Philadelphia is banged up, but Washington is not a heavy passing team. Neither side gets the advantage.
Offensive line: Philadelphia's offensive line played a solid game against the Bengals, but the unit has been very inconsistent if not flat out bad throughout the season. Meanwhile, the middle three for Washington has done a solid job at run blocking for Morris while Trent Williams should be looking at a Pro Bowl trip. Washington gets the advantage.
Defensive line: Since the wide-nine has been removed, the defense has been better at stopping the run. In addition, the pass rush has been better as well. The Redskins average more than four yards per carry against the run and have given up big rushing numbers throughout the season. The Eagles get the advantage.
Linebacker: With Jamar Chaney at SAM and Mychal Kendricks at WILL, the linebackers unit has been more solid, particularly against the run. Washington's run defense was hurt with the injury to Brian Orakpo while they also struggle in sacking the opposing quarterback. Philadelphia's linebacker play is better as of late, and therefore they get the advantage.
Secondary: Colt Anderson has provided some life into the secondary recently for the Eagles, and he will get the start on Sunday. Washington has allowed 28 touchdown passes this season, which is the most in the NFL. In addition, they are 30th in passing yards allowed per game but have accumulated 17 interceptions. The Eagles secondary is playing better recently and gets the advantage.
Special teams: Philadelphia is horrible in punt and kickoff coverage. In addition, kickoff returns are nothing special either. Washington is fifth in the NFL in punt coverage and rank in the middle of the pack in kickoff coverage. The Redskins get the advantage.
Final thoughts: Philadelphia can keep the game close, but a win would surprise a lot of people at this stage of the season. Washington wins the game 31-20.Tags: Football, LeSean McCoy, Mike Shanahan, NFL, Nick Foles, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles, Robert Griffin III

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Portrait
Dan Hoy, on the Montevidayo blog, offers an intriguing if somewhat fuzzy argument about the difference between "regular poets" and "image artists." Image artists, for Hoy, are those poets who saturate their whole productive output with a singular vision, and attempt to, to some degree, manufacture the subjective reception of their work (though the readership certainly plays a part in this:
Marketing typically begins with a need: who are you and what do you need? This question determines everything. But the origin of an image artist is different. It begins with a vision (of life), which corresponds roughly to a marketing objective. It begins with a vision because the target audience is a priori everyone and no one. The image artist is always speaking to something universal in all of us, and either we listen or we don't. Regardless, the task of the image artist is to contaminate the world with her vision, or, in marketing speak, to construct a strategic framework and tactical deployment plan that will achieve the objective.
This distinction only hold if one accepts the validity of a supply and demand model in the first place. Not to mention one needs to accept the category of the "regular" poet. If, on the other hand, one rejects the idea of a "need" that preexists the product and the production of that need, and the idea of an artistic "regular" the analogy to types of poets might need to be revised. Anyway, here's some more clarification:
For example, what differentiates an image artist poet from, say, a regular poet, is that, to the image artist, a book of poems and the promotion of that book have a lateral relationship: a poem from a book, the physical design of a book, marketing collateral like videos and posters, a public event, and subsequent interviews, collaborations, interventions, investments, denials, etc.—these are all related forms of a consistent, evolving vision. To the regular poet it's simply a matter of writing a poem and publishing it in one venue or another, preferably one with a sizeable, welcoming audience and competent promotional staff. To the poet as image artist, every decision is an act of fidelity to an overarching strategy and a singular objective.

We demonstrate a new full range complex spectral domain optical coherence tomography (FRC SD-OCT) method. Other than FRC SD-OCT systems reported in literature, which employed devices such as electro-/acousto optic modulators or piezo-driven mirrors providing the phase modulations necessary for retrieval of the complex-valued signal, the system presented works without any additional phase shifting device. The required phase shift is introduced by the galvanometer scanner used for transversally scanning the sample beam. By means of a slight displacement of the probe beam with respect to the scanning mirror's pivot axis, the sample arm length and thus the phase is continuously modulated as the beam is scanned in lateral direction. From such modulated spectral data, the complex-valued data yielding a twofold increase of accessible depth range can be calculated using an algorithm based on the Hilbert transform. To demonstrate the performance of our method quantitative measurements of the suppression of mirror images as a function of induced phase shift were performed. In order to validate the FRC SD-OCT technique for high-speed imaging of biological tissue, we present full-range images of the human anterior chamber in vivo.

Two months ago, Howard Stringer, the CEO of Sony, dropped what many considered to be an iPhone 5 - or maybe iPhone 4S - bombshell. During an interview that gained international attention, Stringer reportedly had a "slip of the tongue" and accidentally revealed that Apple's 5th generation iPhone may sport its most impressive camera to date.
According to Stringer, the next iPhone - whenever it finally turns up - will likely feature an 8MP camera. More specifically, Stringer revealed that the recent Japanese earthquake did some serious damage to a Sony camera sensor plant, which has effectively delayed shipments of the senors to the Cupertino, California-based company.
Today, however, we're hearing something completely different from that which was reported above. Still on the table, fortunately, is an 8MP camera. The definitive provider of the camera, on the other hand, has now become a little less obvious. Based on sources speaking with DigiTimes this week, Taiwan's Largan Precision will supply the needed components for the new iPhone's 8MP camera.
Taiwan-based Largan Precision currently sees 8-megapixel phone-use lens modules account for nearly 10% of its total lens module shipment volume, but it may see 8-megapixel modules replace 5-megapixel ones to become the mainstream for smartphones in the third quarter of 2011 due to possible orders from Apple, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

Teens in Action Debut PSA
Salomé Ureña de Henriquez Campus (SU Campus) in Washington Heights has been buzzing with teen activity over the last few weeks.
For the past year, participants in the Teens in Action Program have worked to bring awareness on topics such as health and beauty to their family and friends. One of their most successful projects so far has been The Real You, a youth-developed public service announcement (PSA) on body image. After weeks of research online and through peer discussions, the group filmed a talk show that highlights teen perceptions on how society impacts their views on body image. The talk show also discussed eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder and shared their thoughts on plastic surgery. The teens found that many of their peers agreed that getting plastic surgery such as breast enhancements can improve body image. The majority also agreed that being thin, blond and blue-eyed is what society considers "beautiful." Most importantly, the film educates the audience on the warning signs of someone with an eating disorder and how to get help for someone.
The group premiered their PSA to family and friends on April 26, and were also honored for their wonderful work.
Most recently, the teens hosted the annual "Spring in Action" community health fair at SU Campus on Saturday, May 4. The goal of the event was to bring together community members to take advantage of the helpful health information. Many organizations came together to bring health care enrollment, cosmetic care and nutrition programs to the community. Children's Aid Society home-finding services and foster care staff were on hand to provide assistance and recruit future foster care families. It was a full day of festivities, including face painting, raffles, aerobic instructions, massages and dance battles among adults and youth alike.
The Teens in Action Program at SU Campus, a Children's Aid Society community school, provides youth with personal and career development, leadership and community service opportunities. Teens are the most important information circulators, and these messages about taking care of yourself and knowing when to get help were loud and clear. We are extremely proud of these young people!

Discussion in 'EU Community' started by Jedi-Knight-Corran, Jul 12, 2004.
Try reading him the Wraith Squadron arc, might change his mind!
Someday, I finally got him to allow me to read books that include characters from episodes 4-6, he used to only allow me to read him Clone Wars books. He's 4 so we read lots of DK readers together. One of them includes Luke in his X-wing pilot gear.
Double post...oops.
I got Mercy Kill from the library yesterday, read 7 or 8 chapters despite really desperately needing sleep #priorities It's certainly different so far, but super fun. I'll admit I don't know enough about the the post-NJO era to understand all the events though... oh well.
Good for you! I hope things make sense enough in terms of relationships and such - that's where the heart of the story is!
Up to Chapter 30 right now, only about 150 pages to go! And Its bad as I read before bed and find myself reading WAY too long at night!
A lot of SW books do that to me...
My daughter was in my SW room last night "Mum I've run out of books to read" I said "Take Your pick!" She said "But I dont want to read a SW Book!" I said "Then you have nothing to read, that's all I have"
Very luckily, my nephew and 8 year-old great nephew are both SW fans - my great nephew was last seen reading Force Unleashed II (well it is SW, but I do wish he had better taste!)
My son has read alot of the Junior Jedi Knights, and the entire Galaxy of Fear....but I wish he'd just try NJO or X Wing Series, I know he'd love them!
If there are Audiobooks of them, perhaps you could borrow them from the Library and just keep them playing in the background while he's around - maybe he'll start taking an interest; the X-Wing, and particularly Wraith Squadron, books are certainly good enough stories!
I just know he'd love the X Wing series! I might have to check the library out. I have A few books on Cassette tape can you believe?! Used to listen to them in the car on the way to work...
I'm afraid I may have spoiled most of the EU for my son. He's only 4, his top 3 current books are Blast Off, Don't Wake the Zillo Beast and Tatooine Adventures. But I have the entire run of Junior Jedi Knights, Young Jedi Knights. Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Quest and the Young Bobba Fett waiting for him in just a few years!
My son read the Junior Jedi Knights and some Jedi Apprentice books but then he discovered Halo.....he's 13 now.
I've tried to get my friends into it - Thorns got to Bacta War, and liked Corran; at least, she wishes she could meet him, just so she could annoy the living daylights out of him!
My niece has started Rogue Squadron, but the nephews just aren't into reading - which is so sad, because the rest of the family is full of bibliophiles. My eldest brother (the kids' dad) and I are speed readers too. Lord of the Rings took me one week when I was in Grade 8 - it took him about four days! Then again, I kept up with my homework and got a semi-decent amount of sleep...
See, I agree with the argument that the EU has been really lackluster and painful for the past six years. But rewriting continuity would still make me extremely sad because all the X-Wing books (including Mercy Kill) are really worthwhile, and I don't know how to try to sell them to friends if "it's all going to be alternate universe and irrelevant after the next film comes out."
On our way! Son is reading Truce at Bakura! Its a Start!!!
Great news!!!
Just gave in to temptation and ordered "Mercy Kill" from Waterstones! Got over £8 off it, too - do they know something we don't?
I dont know what! Its pretty good, and the one liners are epic!
Can hardly wait to get my mitts on it now!!!
I am still waiting patiently for Mercy Kill in paperback. My copy of Darth Plagueis only just arrived yesterday, because it finally became available in paperback.
You have the patience of a Jedi there Zeta.....Me? Not so much!
Waterstones lists the PB version as coming out in 283 days, Zeta!
I just have so many other things to get, that I am perfectly capable of waiting. I still need to get BFC, HoT, the Clone Wars novels and comics from the original multimedia project, the first six Halo novels and the short story collection Evolutions, a few other odds and ends like Scourge, and eventually Scoundrels (in paperback, of course) and DotJ: FS.
That doesn't surprise me, Darth Plagueis was originally published in January, but only just published in paperback on October 30th.
Had a thought about Truce at Bakura just last night when watching ROTJ. Would it have been any different if the young Anakin ghost had visited Leia?

text: Do any of you wonderfrul tennis afficianados that frequent this magnificently informative and entertaining website have any information on a Donnay Formula One? I have done extensive research and found volumes on the Donnay Formula Pro and Pro One, but have found zilch on the Formula One. The racquet is a gorgeous purple and black on the face and black around the outside of the frame. Inner throat says "Midsize" on one side and "Suggested string tension US: 50-55 lbs; Intl: 22-27kg" on other side. Outside of throat says "DONNAY" on one side and "Graphite Compound Technology" on the other side. Top of hoop says 'FORMULA ONE". 11 and 1 o'clock positions (on opposite sides) on face say "Nodal Line B"; 5 and 7 o'clock positions(on opposite sides) say "Nodal Line A" and "F1". 2 to 3 o'clock position (and 9 to 10 o'clock on opposite side) says "DONNAY" in bold white letters on red background. The head appears about 85 sq. inches and the strung weight is about 12.7 oz. Pattern is 16MX19C. The sweetspot is very small and the frame lets you know it when you miss it. However, when you find it, you think you have a pass to ball-striker's heaven. Thank you in advance for any info.

Surfside Players Holds Open Auditions for YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, 6/23
Surfside Players has announced open auditions for the first show of our 2012-2013 season, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, directed by Rod Savickis.
This beloved musical, which debuted in 1967 and enjoyed a Broadway revival in 1999 with additional songs, follows an average day, or rather a day made of little moments from throughout the life of Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening, shared with the lives of his friends both human and canine. Charles Schulz's comics transported weary adults back to the simple innocent days of their youth, and Surfside brings his creation to the stage this summer.
Auditions will be on Saturday, June 23, at 7:00pm. (Note: this is a change from the dates listed on publicity materials in April and early May.) Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Applicants will be learning brief song and dance excerpts from the musical; prepared audition pieces are not required. If you are unable to attend the evening of auditions, contact the stage manager, Robin Pena, for alternate arrangements, at (321) 626-1343 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Rehearsals are typically weekday evenings and performances are July 27 - August 12 (three weekends), Fridays/Saturdays 8:00pm and Sundays 2:00pm.
The show features book, music and lyrics by Clark Gesner with additional dialogue by Michael Mayer and additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. It is presented by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark.
Surfside is located in Cocoa Beach, FL, an hour's drive east of Orlando. In Brevard County, take 520 or 528 eastbound to A1A southbound, OR take Pineda, Eau Gallie, or 192 eastbound to A1A northbound. Drive into Cocoa Beach, and turn west on Fifth Street South.
For more information about this and other events, call (321) 783-3127 or visit www.surfsideplayers.com.

In April '06, Hollywood, Interrupted first reported that the late Jett Travolta (son of Scientologists John Travolta and Kelly Preston) had autism, and detailed how sources in Hollywood and from autism groups could not understand why his parents would not acknowledge their son's reported disorder.
In a follow-up report HI.com told the story of the parent of a child with autism who confronted John Travolta on his son's reported affliction.
While our hearts go out to the Travoltas for the tragic loss of their son, to illustrate the inherent danger of Scientology when it comes to the willful non-treatment of mental health and neurological disorders, we need only turn the collateral damage and death resulting from Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard's quackery:
Outspoken Scientology critic Tory Christman was
in the cult for over 30 years. An epileptic, Christman
was ordered off her medication by her Scientology
superiors, and she nearly died from severe seizures.
That experience was a wake-up call, leading to her
ultimate escape from the cult in 2000.
On December 5, 1995, Scientologist Lisa McPherson
perished at the ill-equipped hands of
Scientologists attempting to "handle" her psychotic break.
MIT student and former Scientologist Philip Gale chose
Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard's birthday (March
13, 1998) as the date for his tragic suicide. Incidentally,
Gale's mother was a high-ranking official in Scientology's
virulent anti-psychiatry front group, The Citizens
Commission on Human Rights.
According to reports and records, Scientologist Heribert Pfaff died at Scientology headquarters in Clearwater, Florida as a result of untreated epileptic seizures. It is reported that his Scientology doctor prescribed him vitamins prior to his death.

Reader Library Fonts
I use 3.3 Reader Library for PC, and own a PRS-650.
My issue is this: I often re-format eBooks with different fonts to read on the eReader. However, my eReader now takes upwards of 2 minutes to refresh after disconnecting from my PC. Kinda annoyingly long wait to see how a book came out and if I need to re-do anything. And I'm not a fan of installing fonts into the ePub itself solely to see how an eBook will look in the Reader Library. No reason to have 100 copies of Gentium on the 650 just for that
SO, my question is this: where does the Reader Library access/keep it's fonts? I'd like to add the fonts I use in my eBooks there so I can see how the eBook looks in the Reader Library *before* adding it to my 650. Thus saving much un-needed plugging-in and un-plugging of the 650.

A BROMSGROVE school teamed up with a green initiative raising money to boost school funds.
As part of National Waste Month, youngsters from Holywell Primary and Nursery School, in Gunner Lane, asked people to reduce, reuse and recycle old and unwanted textiles.
Staff and pupils, including their family and friends, got involved and overall 360 kg of textiles were collected.
All the donated items were then passed to the recycling scheme Bag2School UK, which collects and sells unwanted textiles to importers and wholesalers in countries including Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Asia.
For donating the items, the Rubery school received £180 towards school funds, in return.
The school's eco co-ordinator, Rachel Moss, said: "We are really proud of the children's achievement.
"They were really enthusiastic and have learnt lots about helping the planet."

With Marshalls grand opening Thursday, following a bevy of other national chains and leading still more, the $76 million Epps Bridge Centre is starting to meet its expectations.
Marshalls' Store Manager Sandie Rayman described a steady flow of customers Thursday morning, just two weeks after fully-loaded tractor trailers heralded the prep work for the department store. While a DJ boomed music through the parking lot and still more customers wandered in late in the afternoon, Rayman expected an even busier first weekend.
"We had a great turnout this morning," she said, the top of one hand showing a painted University of Georgia G. "... Everybody's excited about getting a Marshalls."
Melvin Davis, chair of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners, echoed her excitement, saying it was good to have that shop and others at the center.
"It's going to be a big benefit for the county and it's going to be a big benefit to the region," Davis said.
He said the shop had more than 85 employees as of Thursday morning, though some drop-off is expected due to attrition. He also predicted that the sales tax dollars, totaling about $900,000 per month for Oconee County, would double once the center fully builds out over the next several years, meaning more money for capital projects without necessarily needing to raise residents' property taxes.
While Marshalls' parking lot was filled even in the late afternoon, before many got off work and hours after the start of the festivities, shoppers also walked in and out of the building housing the Banana Republic, Old Navy and Gap. Still more retailers displayed "coming soon" signs, including the neighboring Off Broad Way Shoes and, across the complex, a Pet Smart, Dick's Sporting Goods, Five Below and Pier 1 Imports.
But, about 3 miles away on the Atlanta Highway, another Pier 1 shop plastered its windows with signs advertising its moving sale and encouraging those interested in buying fixtures to speak with the manager. Across the street from that shop, inside the Georgia Square Mall, two storefronts were shrouded in black, decals still identifying it as the former home of the Gap.
Preserving the Atlanta Highway corridor, home to many nationals retailers in Athens, drew enough concern from the Athens-Clarke County mayor and commission to form a committee to study its preservation. The committee solicited a study from the Urban Land Institute on ways to bolster the corridor, which chair Mike Hamby said should be ready in draft form soon.
"Oconee County's success, which is good for them, doesn't mean the Atlanta Highway doesn't still hold a lot of promise," Hamby said.
Hamby said he understands the draw of the Epps Bridge Centre for retailers looking to upgrade, but shied from any doom saying for the Atlanta Highway area. He noted Habitat for Humanity's recent opening of a ReStore and activity from the Athens Church. Then there's continued commercial activity through major employers like Burton + Burton and Caterpillar's opening near the end of the highway. Plus, new transportation options near there are on the horizon with the Jennings Mill Parkway. That said, Hamby also said the area needs to be the focus of a lot of work and attention.
"It brings attention to a corridor that we should have been paying attention to a long time ago," he said. "... But that doesn't mean the Atlanta Highway won't continue to be a great commercial center."
