GREEN BAY - It's been a long winter season, leaving many people shivering from the cold, and for some, the weather's been for the birds.
Tom Brawner says feeding the birds in his De Pere yard has become routine.
"I fill that up, all the way. I sprinkle some on the trays," said Brawner.
Brawner says he gets dozens of birds.
"I got blue jays, cardinals," said Brawner.
But this year, he's been busy feeding the birds.
"Oh my God, they've gone through another load, so I go out and fill it up again. Sometimes it will be twice a day," said Brawner.
Backyard birds in the area can be seen huddling in trees, or puffing up to stay warm.
"It's been a tough winter on them," said Mike Reed, Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary director.
Reed says many birds stay the winter or even migrate from areas in the north.
Reed says some birds can change their metabolism. They go into a self-induced hibernation, so they can make it through the bitter cold.
"Overnight, slow their heart rate, and their body temperature and survive that way. But once they wake up in the morning, they need to eat and refuel," said Reed.
Reed says birds in tough winter conditions need to eat at least half their weight each day to survive.
"It's a busy time," said Barbara Brebner, For the Birds owner.
Brebner says high fat, high protein seeds are most effective.
"Some of the nut blends have raisins, and dried fruit in them, which is what a lot of the birds out in the wild would be eating," said Brebner. "I don't think we change their behavior, but they're certainly good at capitalizing on what we offer them."
Meanwhile, Tom Brawner says he'll keep scooping seeds at least until spring.
"There's a lot of birds that need our help during the winter and these cold months. It's enjoyable to have them around," said Brawner.
And there will be a chance for citizen scientists to get involved.
The annual Great Backyard Bird Count takes place this weekend.
People will be asked to count different birds they see and report the findings online.

However, our training programs are approved by a number of industry specific organizations and are designed with employer feedback to ensure students are gaining exactly the skills needed to get a job and succeed in the workforce.
The Career Step training programs prepare students for career fields where employers are generally more concerned with an applicant's skills rather than the credentials of the school they attended.

We've also developed close ties to industry associations, aligning our programs with their recommendations. Career Step programs boast the following recognitions:

Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy also offer Career Step Pharmacy Technician students the opportunity to participate in a hands-on externship in their stores nationwide.
- The Medical Administrative Assistant with EHR program is approved by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA), a leading organization focused on increasing the quality of health career education.
Career Step programs are also designed to prepare you for certifications that greatly improve your employment opportunities.

In The Breakthrough Company, Keith McFarland pinpoints how everyday companies become extraordinary, showing that luck is a negligible factor. Rather, breakthrough success turns out to be associated with a clearly identifiable set of strategies and skills that anyone in any business can emulate, from small startup to industry leader.
Encouraged by experts such as business legend Peter Drucker and Good to Great author Jim Collins that identify the drivers that enable a company to push past the entrepreneurial phase, McFarland spent five years building and analyzing the world's largest growth-company performance database and interviewing more than 1,500 growth-company executives on four continents. His goal was simple: to identify the secrets of breakthrough.
The Breakthrough Company is the result. Winnowing a study pool of more than 7,000 companies down to nine that have made the transition to major-player status, McFarland highlights real-world tools and myth-busting insights that can be used by anyone wanting his or her business to join this exclusive circle.
©2008 Keith R. McFarland; (P)2008 Random House Audio
"Greatly needed! Features marvelous analysis of the principles that enable entrepreneurial enterprises to survive and thrive." (Stephen R. Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)
"McFarland successfully tackles the ever-present question for ambitious entrepreneurs: just how do you go from small to big and prosper? This book has the makings of a classic." (Steve Forbes, President and CEO, Editor-in-Chief, Forbes)
"A "must listen" if you are an SMB"
Awesome book, great author. If you have a small business this is the book to listen to. I liked it so much we hired Keith McFarland to speak at our company event.

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of Bar-B-Que, do treat yourself to the BBQ Smokehouse in Sebastopol, you won't be sorry. This cookery uses rubs, sauce is served only as a side and on request. There is no Propane or Charcoal to be found on the premisis, all meat is low cooked by hardwood, low heat, and time.
I like eating meat; beef, pork, lamb, chicken, I like most all meat. I especially enjoy moist and flavorful meat that has been prepared with care and attention to detail. I am always sniffing out new establishments that use simple ingredients and prepare unpretentious fare that can be enjoyed in any setting.
I just enjoyed a REAL Texas style Bar-B-Que, right here in Sonoma County. Since I am ever the skeptic, I spent two seperate visits simply interviewing the staff and investigating cooking hardware (a missive device in the parking lot that is typically belching smoke). Being a virgin with this establishment I stuck with the old standby, Pulled Pork and Brisket.
The Pulled Pork was tender, juicey and flavorful, very well balanced with spice and tang. We chose the Mac and Cheese and Slaw as the sides, each are worthy of being consumed in great quantities all alone.
The lovely chunks of tender Brisket were outstanding and most toothesome! This is Brisket that came from a contented steer. They provided a nice light dipping sauce/gravy that certainly was not from a package or over salted, it was perfect with the beef. The Cowboy Beans (side dish) are also made in the kitchen rather than pulled from the Ubiquitous #10 can that one will find in the typical establishment.
For desert we ordered the Icebox Chololate cake with a genuine buttercream frosting. Beware, this is not for the faint of heart and you are likely to become hooked on this morsel.
This establishment is tucked off of the main drag next to the Sebastopol Cinemas, at this time this only patio seating and take-out. Save the cost of travel to Texas and order in tonight.

A starred or boxed review indicates a book of outstanding quality. A review with a blue-tinted title indicates a book of unusual commercial interest that hasn't received a starred or boxed review.
Wanderlust strikes hard in this fitfully engaging second novel by Hershon (Swimming), in which loyalty and commitment vie with the irrepressible desire to escape. Growing up in a cavernous Long Island house, Alice Green seems always to be waiting for her mother, Charlotte, to return. A capricious woman who travels to exotic countries at a moment's notice for weeks at a time, Charlotte and her absences put a palpable strain on the Green family. Alice's father, a professor of neurobiology, glosses over her foibles, and Alice turns for comfort to her older brother, August, a self-contained boy who becomes a rebellious adolescent, spending more and more time with his rich, orphaned girlfriend, Cady. When Alice is 16 and August 18, their mother is killed in a fire, and August leaves home, gradually drifting farther and farther away. Like their mother, he travels all over the world and balks at coming home even when his father dies. Alice—a nervous, peace-making child, then a defiant teenager willing to kiss anyone, and finally the only member of the family determined to hold things together—travels to Baja, Mexico, to find August, in a final attempt to understand him. While she is there, he reveals a secret that gives her a new perspective on their past. Hershon creates a few complex, well-rounded characters—Alice and Cady are particularly satisfying—but August and Charlotte never become much more than ciphers, their wanderings only cursorily explained. Hershon aims for lyricism but sometimes misses the mark ("The sky drained slowly as she anticipated the sight of her father's car coming home from the lab") in what is, overall, a choppy sophomore effort. (Aug.)

The number of babies being born pre-maturely is increasing. Those participating in the Muskingum County March of Dimes Walk wants to spread this message.
While pregnancies are an exciting experience for most couples, a pre-mature birth can change all that.
"When you have babies that weigh 2.12 and 3.1, all you think is this wasn't the plan. This wasn't what I expected. It has a significant impact on how you feel, raise, and interact with these babies because they're so small, " says Walk Chairwoman, Melissa Bell.
Bell has twins that were born pre-maturely and remained in the hospital for two months. While she says she was full of worry during that time, those fears are a things of the past now.
"My kids are great. You would never know that they were born so small. They're first graders at Dresden Elementary. (They're) doing all sports and doing great in school. So, it was a fantastic outcome for us. So, we've been very blesses and lucky, " says Bell.
But not all babies are as lucky as Bell's. Some pre-mature births cause defects that children live with their entire lives. That's why money raised by the March of Dimes Walk will go toward research and education about this issue.

Was Your Child Born With a Heart Defect?
Did You Take Zoloft or Paxil While Pregnant? Was Your Child Born With a Heart Defect?

SSRI Drug Lawsuit
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. They reportedly work by changing the levels of a chemical found in the brain called serotonin, which affects a person's mood, outlook, and behavior. Over the past 25 years, SSRIs such as Paxil (paroxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline) have been prescribed to treat major depressive disorder in adults, as well as other disorders, including panic, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, many of these drugs have been linked to a multitude of unwanted side-effects—especially when taken during pregnancy.
A 2009 Danish study analyzing nearly half a million children found that if an expectant mother took Zoloft while pregnant, her child's risk of developing a septal heart defect tripled. The study also found that children born to mothers who took more than one type of SSRI—including two or more of Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, or Prozac—had a four-fold increased risk of developing these types of heart defects.
In 2011, a study published in the medical journal Obstetrics & Gynecology analyzed data from Finland, finding that babies were four times as likely to develop certain heart defects when exposed to another popularly-prescribed SSRI, Paxil, during gestation. Further, a 2015 study published in the British Medical Journal by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the risk of certain heart defects was 2.4 times greater for babies exposed to Paxil in the first trimester of pregnancy compared with those who were not exposed.
SSRI Settlements and Verdicts
In 2005, thirteen years after GlaxoSmithKline introduced the SSRI Paxil to the drug market, the FDA issued an advisory that Paxil may increase the risk of birth defects—particularly heart defects—when taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. Expectant mothers who were prescribed Paxil during their pregnancies were not aware that the drug could cause harm to their growing children, spurring lawsuits filed around the country claiming that GlaxoSmithKline negligently failed to warn doctors and patients of the risks associated with taking Paxil during pregnancy.
The first Paxil lawsuit was tried in 2009, brought by two parents whose son was born with holes in his heart after his mother took Paxil during her pregnancy. She was unaware of the drug's risky, harrowing side effects when it was prescribed to her. During the trial, evidence was presented that, as early as 1980, GlaxoSmithKline had performed and hidden scientific studies on animals that linked Paxil to birth defects, and failed to warn doctors or patients of the drug's risks. The case resulted in a $2.5 million jury verdict.
By July, 2010, GlaxoSmithKline reportedly paid over $1 billion to settle at least 800 claims related to Paxil and its propensity to cause birth defects. Later, in 2012, the drugmaker pled guilty to the United States Department of Justice's charges of fraud, resulting in $3 billion in civil and criminal fines for alleged unlawful promotion of certain prescription drugs, including Paxil.
Likewise, lawsuits against Pfizer alleging negligence, the manufacturer of Zoloft, have been filed, citing Pfizer's failure to alert patients that the drug may significantly increase the risk of heart malformations and other birth defects. Plaintiffs claim that despite Pfizer's knowledge of Zoloft's birth defect risks, the company continues to sell and market Zoloft to doctors and patients without adequately warning them of the reported risks.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you or a loved one took Paxil or Zoloft while pregnant and your child was born with a heart defect, you may be legally entitled to financial compensation.
Want to Know if You have a Valid Legal Claim?

Language-Learning Provider Helps Promote Native American Language Use among Younger Generations
Arlington, VA (August 24, 2010) – Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE: RST), a leading provider of technology-based language learning solutions, announced today the release of the Navajo- language version of Rosetta Stone® software for use by Navajo in language revitalization. Though Navajo is the most-spoken Native American language north of Mexico (still spoken by more than 100,000 people), its use and fluency among younger generations is in dramatic decline. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 50 percent of Navajo ages 17 and under were able to speak their native language at all in 2000. Rosetta Stone Navajo software will be available for use in Navajo Nation schools, homes and chapter houses in an effort to help reverse this decline.
"We're excited that the Rosetta Stone Endangered Language Program can play a role in encouraging younger generations to use the Navajo language," said Marion Bittinger, manager of the Endangered Language Program. "We're optimistic our work with indigenous groups will be a step toward reversing the tide of global language extinction."
The Navajo software will be sold through Navajo Language Renaissance, a nonprofit group of Navajo educators from the tri-state area of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. In December 2007, with the endorsements of the Department of Diné Education and the Navajo Board of Education, the project was launched in Window Rock, Arizona. More than one hundred Navajo contributed to the project by providing language expertise, photos, audio recordings and logistical and cultural support. Development of Rosetta Stone Navajo was made possible through a Rosetta Stone company grant, and all proceeds from the sale of the software will go toward future initiatives to revitalize the Navajo language.
"The Rosetta Stone software will greatly help our Heritage Language Program already in place in our school district. Students will have a great opportunity to learn the Navajo language at their own pace," said Clayton Long, director of bilingual education for San Juan School District in Utah. "Rosetta Stone Navajo will be a medium to bridge generations and revitalize the Navajo language."
Rosetta Stone invites prospective learners to visit http://launch.rosettastone.com/en/demo/rs3?language_code=NAV for a free online trial of the Navajo-language software. You can also access the trial from our twitter (http://twitter.com/rosettastone) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/RosettaStone) pages.
Learning with Rosetta Stone is a natural choice for language-revitalization programs because its award-winning solutions help users develop language proficiency without translation, memorization or conjugation tables. The Rosetta Stone Endangered Language Program has developed software for several indigenous languages, including Chitimacha for the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana. The North Slope dialect of Iñupiaq in Alaska is currently under development with Rosetta Stone.
For more information please visit pr.RosettaStone.com.

Fallout 4 Announced by Leaked Game Script, Set in Boston (PICTURES)
Fallout 4 has been revealed as being in development and will reportedly take place in the city of Boston, Massachusetts.
The last few weeks there have been hoaxes about another installment of the popular RPPG, but now gaming site Kotaku has evidence. They were sent casting call documents from a reader, and have confirmed the documents to be authentic as it contains plot, character mentions, and scripts. It was code named, "Institute."
See what the script looks like here and here.
Game developers Bethesda have not commented on the matter and remained mum about the hoax a few weeks ago which even included an elaborate website with hints, teasers, and even Morse code messages.
Now with Fallout 4 in development for real, all of the same gamers who went crazy on Reddit a few weeks back, have another opportunity to be excited. However, important to note that the script makes no mention of the title Fallout, but it does reference the other parts of the game extensively and even provides the same opening lines of all the other games, "War. War never changes."
There are character listings for Preston Garvey, DJ Travis Miles, Sturges, and an unnamed female character. Kotaku points out that characters, details, and game setting could always change because this can be set up as strictly casting with the real game being developed behind the scenes.
In 2012, a Reddit user said a Bethesda employee visited MIT and other Boston locations, reports Polygon. Fallout 3 voice actor, Erik Dellums posted on Twitter, "[there] may be more of the Dog coming," in regards to his game character DJ Three Dog.

How to insert into post content from popup
I created a button that appears in the post editor in html mode.
The button opens a new window with a form containing info from the database in a single textarea.
How do I transfer the data from that child window to the parent post.content?
I have tried normal javascript functions that work as standalones but, there is something with the editor in WordPress that is preventing the javascript in the child from inserting into the post form content area, I think.
Does anyone know how to do that? Maybe suggest a simple plugin that I can dissect to find out how?
Thanks for your help…

Bioluminescence: one technology - many
Introduction to the many applications of bioluminescent assays
The complexity of the cellular environment complicates the analysis of
biochemical changes occurring inside of cells. Bioluminescence provides a
unique technology for accurately quantifying physiological parameters within
the cell. Over the years, we have exploited the chemistry of the
bioluminescent reaction to assay reporter gene activity, changes in ATP
levels, and the enzymatic conversion of pro-luciferin substrates. By
allowing one of the reaction components to vary while keeping the others
fixed, these assays can be used to sensitively quantify promoter elements,
cell surface and nuclear receptor activation, viable cell number or
enzymatic activities. All of the assay results benefit from the high
sensitivity, low background and large dynamic range of bioluminescent
technology as compared to fluorescence. Recently, a novel genetically
engineered firefly luciferase was developed as biosensor. This biosensor can
detect specific molecular interactions through real-time modulation of its
luminescence activity. Applications of this type of biosensor are: real-time
monitoring of cAMP in live cells, detection of protease activity and
specificity, etc. All these strategies to exploit bioluminescence have led
to the formation of a comprehensive portfolio of integrated bioluminescent
products including cell-based assay reagents, hardware, software and support
to help researchers successfully explore gene, protein and cellular

Bahraini Soccer Players Detained & Tortured
Several Bahraini soccer players, including stars of the country's national team, were detained and tortured after participating in a protest against Bahrain's ruling Al-Khalifa family in March. The Australian Times via the Times of London reports that Mohammed Hubail has been sentenced to two years in prison, while his brother, striker Alaa Hubail and goalkeeper Ali Saeed have been charged with criminal acts.
Photos of the Hubail brothers on the soccer field and after their detention can be seen at the Los Angeles Times.
The three are out on bail and now home in a Shiite village outside of the capital of Manama; they do not know if they will be able to play soccer again. They have been warned not to speak about their detainment for fear of further abuse– both Hubail brothers have their heads shaved, and Mohammed Hubail has bruises on his feet, says the Australian Times/London Times — but one unnamed relatives says:
"The first two weeks after they were arrested were the worst. They were beaten all the time. They still have marks on their bodies."
When the brothers appeared in court, military police officers on duty went up to shake their hands, some asking for autographs.
"But the men who were beating them were not Bahraini. They didn't care who they were," said a friend of the players. "These men are loved by the people, Sunni and Shia. You are British: imagine David Beckham gets arrested and tortured. It's unthinkable."
The three players were also reportedly subjected to lengthy interrogations and ritual humiliation, says Al-Arabiya.
More than 150 athletes, referees and officials have been detained since March when the Bahraini king called in troops from Saudi Arabia and implemented martial law until June. At least 32 protesters were killed and hundreds more detained including human rights activists, doctors and nurses and a 20-year-old poet. Two protesters have been sentenced to death and eight to life in prison; the doctors and nurses have been charged with the equivalent of treason for giving medical assistance to injured protesters.
Bahrain Olympic Committee secretary-general Sheik Ahmed bin Hamad al-Khalifa has said that:
There seems to be a view that footballers or doctors are above the law. If there is a case against them, it does not matter who they are or what their profession is.
But not only Bahraini citizens who are athletes have been detained. Also according to USA Today, Zulfiqar Naji, a 16-year-old Iraqi player on the junior team for Bahraini club Al Muharraq, has been detained since April by the Bahraini government on suspicion of participating in the anti-democracy protests. The player's father, Abdulameer Naji, is a soccer coach and denies that his son participated in the protests, says Al-Arabiya:
"He is far removed from politics," Mr. Naji said. He said his son was not involved in politics and only interested in music and football.
"I have asked the club to intervene but they have not done much. I do not understand what is happening because I thought I had a good relationship with Bahrain," Mr. Naji said.
Mr. Naji Sr. played with Iraq's Al-Zawra club from 1978 to 1990 before coaching various Bahraini teams, including Al-Mouharrak, Al-Itifaq, Al-Ittihad and Al-Badiyah.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has himself asked Bahraini Foreign Minister Khaled Bin Ahmed for an explanation about the 16-year-old's detention. Relations between Bahrain and Iraq have declined since the protests, says Al-Arabiya, with Bahrain and the Saudi-led Gulf Cooperation Council saying that the protests were "instigated by Shiite Iran in a bid to destabilize the island and sow sectarian discord."
The soccer players' reports of torture contradict what the Bahraini Football Association (BFA) told FIFA, the governing body for international soccer, as USA Today says. FIFA said it had been given "assurances that national team players haven't been disciplined during political turmoil in the Gulf kingdom." Bahrain had given the assurances in response to a request from FIFA about whether the Bahraini government had "interfered politically in the sport," says Al-Arabiya.
But if FIFA concludes that Bahrain had "intervened for political reasons in the Gulf island's soccer," Bahrain could be suspended and its participation in the next round of the Asian Olympic qualifiers in September potentially jeopardized. Further, a FIFA investigation could adversely affect the chances of Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahraini royal family, from becoming the president of the powerful Asian Football Confederation (AFC), succeeding Qatari national Mohamed Bin Hammam who is currently caught in a bribery scandal.
Below is a video of Alaa Hubail making the winning goal in Bahrain's 1-0 defeat over Japan in the 2010 World Cup. Let's hope he, his brother and Saeed and can play again.

President Obama continued to warn of the sequester's looming consequences while speaking to the National Governors Association this morning. "These impacts will not all be felt on day one, but rest assured the uncertainty is already having an effect," he said, cautioning cuts to education, healthcare, transportation, and defense, among others. "The longer these cuts are in place, the bigger the impact will become," Obama added, and encouraged governors to meet with their states' delegations to push action on averting the sequester.
The president's warning comes after he urged Republicans in Congress to address the sequester in his weekly address over the weekend. "[The sequester will] leave many families already stretched to the limit, scrambling to figure out what to do," he said. "Are Republicans in Congress really willing to let these cuts fall on our kids' schools and mental healthcare just to protect tax loopholes for corporate jet-owners?"

ST. PETERSBURG - There was the leadoff single in the first inning by B.J. Upton followed by a loud two-run homer to right field by Carlos Peña that gave the Tampa Bay Rays a couple of things they could really use these days: some confidence and an early lead.
But it wasn't until the sixth inning of Tuesday's 4-2 victory against the Cleveland Indians at Tropicana Field that Rays manager Joe Maddon saw something that has eluded his team for much of the season: some flow.
Left fielder Desmond Jennings, on first base after hitting into a fielder's choice, stole second against Indians right-hander Josh Tomlin, who had not allowed a stolen base since Sept. 19, 2010. Jose Lobaton singled to right field on the next pitch to drive in Jennings with a much-needed insurance run.
"I do believe in the ebb and flow of the season, and flow needs to come," Maddon said. "I believe if we keep working at it like we are, all this extra (pregame) work we've been doing and we keep coming out with this kind of energy, we'll start finding those moments do come in our favor. The game runs in cycles. Statistically, it plays back and forth, so based on what has happened to this point I want to believe these next two-and-a-half months owe us as long as we play it hard. If we don't, it doesn't owe us anything."
The Rays won for the seventh time in their past 19 games and for only the second time since they returned from the All-Star break.
Rookie left-hander Matt Moore breezed through the first three innings then struggled to finish the next two, allowing single runs in each. He did even his record at 6-6 because the bullpen continued its second-half dominance with four more shutout innings.
"Lights out," right-hander Joel Peralta said after tossing 11/3 scoreless innings.
Fernando Rodney recorded the final out for his 27th save and fired another imaginary arrow toward the Trop's roof.
The Rays' bullpen has pitched 92/3 scoreless innings during the first two games of this four-game series. Since the All-Star break, the relievers have allowed one run in 181/3 innings.
"Everybody is doing their job, throwing strikes," Peralta said. "It's going pretty good for the bullpen."
Maddon said the return of right fielder Matt Joyce from the disabled list allowed him to move Upton to the top of the order, and Upton provided the needed spark when he singled to start the first.
Peña, who was pinch-hit for during the seventh inning of Monday's loss, slugged his 14th homer of the year and his first in the first inning since his grand slam on Opening Day.
"Guys aren't far off," Upton said. "We've been swinging the bats pretty well. That's big for him and his confidence, and big for us as a whole. We needed to get off to a good start and it happened."
Ben Zobrist drew a walk and then scored on a two-out triple by Scott to give Moore a 3-0 lead.
Moore, who needed nine pitches to get through the first inning and 10 to get through the second, looked like he was crafting what would be a magical night. But the Indians loaded the bases off him in the fourth and the fifth innings.
"He's 23," Maddon said. "You have to be patient with that."
Moore started the sixth but gave way to Wade Davis after walking the leadoff batter. Davis, Peralta, Burke Badenhop and Rodney took it from there.
And just so they had a little cushion to work with, Jennings used his legs to create an important tack-on run, making a season of ebbs turn to a positive flow of the Rays.
"Absolutely," Upton said. "We've kind of have done it, put it together here and there. Over the course of the year we just haven't had our big streak yet. It's going to happen if we keep doing what we have been doing lately."

A man held hostage at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Spring two weeks ago tells Oprah there was a "mixture of signals" before it was time to escape from the building.
In quotes provided by Harpo Productions, Chris Wood told Oprah Winfrey he mouthed to a guard, saying, "run." Wood said the guard then "shook his head yes." Wood and hostage Jim McNulty are to appear on an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Police have said James Lee, 43, was shot dead by officers as his three captives were preparing to make a break for it. Lee had explosives strapped to his body. The hostages included two Discovery employees and a security guard.
This is Winfrey's final season for her show before she launches the Oprah Winfrey Network as a joint venture with Discovery.

Mozambicans still go hungry
A UN food agency says the multi-national relief operation for flood victims in Mozambique is proving effective - but more food is needed.
After touring the affected areas, the deputy director of the World Food Programme (WFP), Mr Namanga Ngongi said that nearly half a million people will need emergency food for at least another six months.
"We could have all reacted much faster," Mr Ngongi said. "We expect to be able to move more food as soon as we have a better infrastructure."
But he said that the supply of food was still inadequate. More than half of the 650,000 needing help was still not getting it or not getting enough.
Weather threat
Heavy falls of rain are expected overnight in the south of the country, with 40mm (1.5 inches) predicted before dawn on Wednesday.
Aid workers are racing to prevent malnutrition, delivering 100 tonnes of aid a day - including rice and high-protein biscuits - to 250,000 displaced people in 72 camps.
"This has to be done every single day, if not we will definitely have reports of insufficient food in transit camps," the WFP's Georgia Shaver said.
Lack of fresh drinking water is causing concern. Many people are having to drink from stagnant pools and swamps left by the flooding - which are littered with corpses and which carry a risk of disease, particularly malaria and cholera.
The official death toll is 400, but the figure is considered to be much higher.
Some 950,000 out of a total population of 19 million have been affected by the floods, according to revised figures released by the Mozambican National Disaster Centre.
Up to 50 helicopters and 100 boats are taking part in the rescue operation, as aid workers urge people not to return to their homes yet for fear of fresh flooding.
The location will enable them to bring vital relief to the Save River valley in the centre of the flood-stricken country.
The Americans are bringing infrared cameras to scan areas devastated by floods and spot survivors.
Flooding has also disrupted efforts to clear the estimated two million land mines still left from the country's 17-year civil war.
Flood waters have washed away landmarks, complicating mapping projects that had located land mines.
US criticised
US Air Force Major-General Joseph Wehrle, the commander of the American contingent, rejected criticism that the US response had been slow, citing the need to co-ordinate the logistics of the operation.
Foreign donors have so far promised $103m to help rebuild the country.
President Joaquim Chissano has asked the West to write off his nation's existing $8.3bn external debt and provide $250m of aid.
US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers announced on Tuesday that the US was writing off Mozambique's remaining debt, which he said amounted to less than $2m.

The current model of physics, far from outlawing time travel, stipulates that it could be theoretically possible in a variety of different ways. It was Albert Einstein who first discovered the curious phenomenon of time dilation, in which time progresses more slowly at extremely high velocities. Since then, many scientists have injected their input into the debate. One of the most respected of these is Cambridge Professor Stephen Hawking, who once stated that: "If time travel were possible, we'd already be inundated by tourists from the future." Perhaps Hawking is more right than he even realized when he made the comment.
Since 1940 there have been tens of thousands of documented UFO sightings throughout the world. Unequivocally, there will be many hoaxes and mistakes scattered amongst these. But can all these people be mistaken or lying? It is without doubt considerably unlikely. However, it would also be stretching the imagination to assert that any extraterrestrial race possessing the capability of interstellar travel would be remotely interested in a species so primitive in comparison – at least not interested enough to fly through millions of miles of space to get here! An elegant solution to the conundrum might be found in the notion that UFOs are not visitors from another place, but rather from another time.
There are several recurring themes in UFO reports which could potentially be explained by this idea. Most notably, the consistently humanoid appearance of "extraterrestrials" becomes inevitable if they actually are human! The traditional saucer shape of visiting craft would also have particular relevance. Any object capable of spinning around its own axis is able to reach high speeds significantly easier thanks to economy of motion. Traveling in a circle might not be much use if you're trying to move through space, but it provides the most energy efficient method of moving through time!
Essentially, there is a worldwide enigma with at least three possible explanations. The thumping headache to those with an interest in UFO phenomena is that all three seem bizarre to consider. Upon closer inspection however, only one seems to fall within the boundaries of what could be considered not to be mathematically improbable. Today experiments are being conducted using the Large Hadron Collider at the European Centre for Nuclear Research, which involve quantum particles being accelerated to beyond 99.9 percent the speed of light. If our technology allows us to do such things today, then just imagine what it will permit in 3010? And however fantastical that might be, how much more will we be able to achieve if given another thousand years? Or five thousand years? Ten thousand years? The progression of technology works exponentially: we learn twice as quickly once we know twice as much.
The mystery of the UFO has pervaded society for centuries, and in all likelihood will continue to do so for countless more to come. We might never have an adequate explanation. However, we might already possess one: at some distant, far-flung point in our own human evolution. What do you think?

YOU HAVE SUCH AN INTERESTING BLOG! Okay, so here's my take on time travel: Like Hawking, I believe travel to the PAST is not possible, or we would know about it by now. However, I believe if anything, we can travel FORWARD in time. I think we will eventually have the technology to construct some sort of vehicle that will reach speeds close to that of the speed of light (or at least a fraction of it – 1/10th, 1/5th, etc.). The person traveling in this vehicle will experience time much slower than the people observing (in reality they will be traveling much faster). So, theoretically, this person can travel hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of years forward in time in their lifetime (depending how close we get to the speed of light). Yep, that's my take. The reason we don't see anybody from the future is because time-travelers are only going forward!
If we can construct something that travels as fast as the particles in the Large Hadron Collider, I could travel a million years into the future without getting a 5 o' clock shadow!
I added you to the "OUR FRIENDS" section of my blog because I think yours is amazing! I reserve this section for those whose blog I really enjoy or for those who are more involved than others when it comes to supporting mine. You should be honored!

Thanks re. blog…hope many others feel the same way over time lol.
Good thoughts regarding time travel. Hopefully others will chime in on this soon…this is an area I'm definitely interested in because I think we have to develop that near speed of light level you're talking about in order to truly explore the universe beyond our own galaxy. I could go on for days on this subject and will certainly be writing more on this subject moving forward. Thanks so much for the input!
Wow Jason I'm honored to be added on your blog…THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

When Things Appear Clear but Different
Sometimes it can be very difficult for a person to describe something like a visual symptom.
"…it's kinda green and it looks like it is on fire"
"…I see a repeat image but it begins 30 seconds afterwords"
"…think of it like a bright halo with a big upside-down X in the middle" (hey, isn't an upside-down X still an X?)
Having practiced medicine for nearly 30 years I have witnessed many valiant attempts. Fortunately, most of the time, there is a nondangerous explanation to describe whatever the patient saw. On the other hand, specific symptoms are highly informative clues to the eye doctor.
"…my right eye just sees things differently than the left eye". Such a disclosure may indicate a genuine problem.
Take a look at the top picture of colorful fall foliage. The vibrant colors jump out of the top photo. Imagine seeing that image with your left eye, but after covering the left eye the image in the right eye resembles the bottom picture. It's still clear, the image is still crisp, but the colors appear washed-out. The medical term for this change is color desaturation. Acquired color desaturation often signals a problem in the affected eye or in the attached optic nerve. Here's some comfort, a brain problem would not preferentially cause one-sided color desaturation.
Such a great disparity between the two eyes may not be noticed unless one eye is temporarily covered – like during an eye exam. There are some simple, painless clinic tests that can evaluate color desaturation complaints. Remember, the cause is likely inside the affected eyeball or its optic nerve. Cataract, for example, commonly causes this symptom and its presence is easy to confirm.
If the retina or optic nerve is the culprit then it is likely that other vision tests will be similarly abnormal. The penlight test of pupil behavior is a great example. A person with color desaturation due to an optic nerve problem like undiagnosed glaucoma will also demonstrate an abnormal pupil response to a swinging penlight test. On the other hand, if the pupils behave normally then the cause is localized to the eyeball and likely a fixable problem.
Here's what you should know:
- It's a good idea to check the vision in each eye separately every so often
- See your eye doctor if you sense color desaturation in one eye
- Don't give up if the first eye doctor cannot explain your unusual symptoms. Consider letting a second specialist listen to your story.

Marymount, Mira Costa tune up for grueling girls volleyball season
Non-league rivals Marymount and Mira Costa met for a scrimmage Tuesday but the decibel level inside Fisher Gym on the Mira Costa campus matched that of a playoff match.
With nearly one third of the players on Marymount's roster living in the Beach Cities and players on both sides familiar with each through club ball, bragging rights are important no matter what time of the season.
Mira Costa never trailed in the first two games, but Marymount mounted a comeback to take the five-game match 9-15, 9-15, 15-13, 19-17, 15-7.
"It's always fun to beat Costa," said Marymount outside hitter Grace Campbell who is a resident of Manhattan Beach. "We all know each other and hopefully we can carry the momentum into our next matches."
Marymount will play two tough road matches in the next week beginning with Corona del Mar on Thursday, Sept. 4. The Sailors will travel to Oaks Christian on Tuesday, Sept. 9 before going to Las Vegas to compete in the prestigious 64-team Durango Fall Classic Sept. 19-20.
Marymount returns to the South Bay Sept. 23 to take on Redondo and will close out the grueling month hosting Mira Costa on Sept. 30.
"We're very happy with the comeback," Marymount head coach Cari Klein said. "We didn't know what to expect. We were trying different lineups. Mira Costa is a great team that is known for getting better every single match.
"I hope we don't get too excited because I saw a lot of things we need to work on. I did feel like we made improvements as the game went on which was good. You tell the girls things all year at practice and they don't believe you until it happens in a game."
Klein said she is used to stacking tough teams on her preseason schedule.
"Now we're in a much harder league as the Sunshine and Mission Leagues merged," Klein explained. "All the teams we play are good."
Mira Costa's first-year head coach Hayley Lawson-Blanchard was excited to have her complete team together for the first time this season.
All-CIF outside hitter Skylar Caputo reunited with her teammates after a successful beach volleyball season that included representing the U.S. at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China and missing the first week of school.
"It was good to have everyone back and healthy. Without Skylar, or starting lineup hasn't even practice together," Lawson-Blanchard said. "It was good to see what players did under pressure. It's always disappointing not to win but their (Marymount's) comeback will be helpful for us to see why we weren't able to rise to that challenge."
Caputo said it was good to be back in the gym for the first time in a month.
"It was tough loss but every girl gained valuable experience," Caputo said. "Being able to have everyone out there is great. This scrimmage will motivate us and push us more in practice."
Mira Costa won't play again until the Durango Fall Classic, giving the Mustangs ten days to fine tune their game.

Air service for the Sheridan County Airport continues to be of concern to the leaders of both Sheridan and Johnson counties, and now both county commissions are taking steps that could see Sheridan's airport receive funding from the Wyoming Legislature.
The county commissions have pledged $700,000 in local funds to be matched with funds applied for through the Wyoming Air Service Enhancement Account, or ASEP, by the local Critical Air Service Team, that's referred to as C.A.S.T. These pledged funds are to show local commitment to reliable air service in Sheridan. The C.A.S.T. has applied for $1.5 million in ASEP funds to assist in providing essential air service in Sheridan.
The Sheridan County Commission passed a resolution Monday morning committing $539,000 or 77%, and Johnson County's Commissioners are expected to commit $161,000 or 23%, at a special meeting this morning in Buffalo. That's scheduled for 9 o'clock at the Johnson County Courthouse on Main Street.
According to the resolution, the local match, is contingent on participation of both Sheridan and Johnson counties, both of the towns of Buffalo and Sheridan, along with business and private donations. ASEP funding will also be sought through a grant from the aeronautics division of the Wyoming Department of Transportation.

Especially in the wake of her In Touch cover story, Bristol Palin appears to be at the center of a media — and money — machine. But is it a machine of her own making?
Ever since last year, Bristol has been very publicly making the statement that while she loves her baby, she feels she made a mistake in getting pregnant. It's probably a feeling many teen moms have at some point, but most don't have a public platform to express it, and Bristol's career as an abstinence advocate has always seemed slightly odd. I have to wonder if, now that both her pregnancy and her breakup have been splashed across the national media — and now that her ex takes every opportunity to publicly bash her mom — Bristol might prefer some quiet time with her son to yet another magazine cover.
But of course, as in so many cases, it may come down to money. Bristol reportedly got six figures for her In Touch cover story, and she has also filed paperwork to start a PR firm. Sarah Palin's lawyer says the move has to do with Bristol's work for the Candie's Foundation, but the blog And So It Goes ... has a more sinister explanation: that the firm is a way for the Palin family to hold on to some of the money from Sarah Palin's PAC. ASIG asks, "What better way to keep the $$$$ in the family than to have her daughter in the business of 'political consulting' ??? You just pay the $$$$ for advice, and take or leave the advice, right?"
It's tempting to think of Bristol's high public profile as one big Sarah Palin conspiracy — a way to keep her family in the limelight while making some bank in the bargain. But having a baby is expensive, and In Touch mentions Bristol's various moves toward financial independence: she's already paying for diapers and formula, and she'd like to move out on her own when she has a steady cash flow. It's certainly possible that Bristol has decided to take advantage of her fame to build a nest egg for herself and her baby — if she doesn't mind the public exposure, it's a pretty savvy decision.
Still, the kind of fame open to Bristol right now is pretty circumscribed. In part because of her family and in part because of the self-flagellation we still seem to expect from girls who dare to have unprotected sex, Bristol has to send a pro-abstinence and anti-abortion message wherever she goes. In In Touch, that means saying that "I'm glad I chose life," while also "guaranteeing" that she will never have premarital sex again (except that as Dodai pointed out, the "again" is elided). While the In Touch article is upbeat, it does paint Bristol as something of a suffering saint, a fallen young woman re-purified by motherhood. Contrast that with Levi Johnston, a young father whose baby doesn't prevent him from being a sex symbol. In fact, one of his endorsements even made lighthearted fun of the unprotected sex that led to Tripp's conception — which to hear In Touch tell it is No Laughing Matter.
Bristol deserves a life of her own, and I hope both the decision to have Tripp and the decision to pose with him for a tabloid were really hers. But even if she's entirely the architect of her own media exposure — as she may well be — I can't help but wish that exposure were a little less predictable.
