"Do you take sugar? One lump or two?" This is just an example of the riveting questions you could be asking Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott this Thursday, May 2nd, at 5pm (EST) for an official live Twitter Q&A.
Questions aren't limited. You can ask him how much sugar has been poured on him in his lifetime by fans with a sweet tooth for the singer or be a serious snoozefest and ask about the making of Hysteria. If you really want to be a #trendingtopic, you can also ask Elliott about Def Leppard's newest plans to sponsor a Welsh rugby team.
Just go to @Def_Leppard on Twitter and add an #AskJoe hashtag. Keep it under 140 characters and you could be a Twitter legend for as long as it takes someone feed to refresh!

Charlie Rangel Wants an Endorsement
President Obama is in New York Monday for the first time since making his gay-marriage endorsement. He'll be giving the commencement address at Barnard College and, in addition to graduates and their families, in the audience will be Rep. Charlie Rangel, who's recently put pressure on Obama to publicly support him. The representative, who's up for reelection this year, has been actively presenting himself as a big Obama supporter, despite the fact that Obama encouraged him to end his political career "with dignity" after 2010.

NEW YORK, June 3 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton is the "chalk" -- the favorite -- to receive the Democratic vice presidential nomination, according to an online betting service.
Intrade Tuesday was calling Clinton the leader, at least in the minds of online bettors, to be Barack Obama's running mate on what would be the much-discussed Democratic "dream ticket."
The newspaper said the action on Intrade pegged Clinton with a 21 percent chance of running with Obama compared to Sen. James Webb, D-Va., at 19.7 percent and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at 6.2 percent.
On the Republican side, former presidential contender Mitt Romney leads with 19.2 percent followed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty at 15.6 percent and Mike Huckabee at 14.1 percent.
The Post noted that a larger percentage of the Intrade players were betting that "none of the above" in both parties would be chosen.

Vietnamese court sentences dissident
THAI BINH, Vietnam - A Vietnamese court convicted a former army officer who had pressed for democratic reforms of subversion yesterday and sentenced him to 5 1/2 years in prison as Vietnam stepped up its efforts to crack down on dissent.
Tran Anh Kim, 60, was accused of "working to overthrow the state'' by joining the Democratic Party of Vietnam, publishing prodemocracy articles on the Internet, and joining Bloc 8406, an organization that promotes a multiparty state.
Kim could have faced the death penalty, but prosecutors sought a lenient sentence, citing his distinguished military record and cooperative attitude.
The former lieutenant colonel is the first in a group of five defendants to be put on trial by Vietnam's communist government, which does not accept challenges to its one-party rule.
They were indicted last week under Article 79 of Vietnam's criminal code, which carries sentences ranging from 12 years to life in prison - or death by firing squad.
Kim's trial opened yesterday morning in the northern province of Thai Binh. As the proceedings began, Kim said he had simply stood up for his beliefs.
"I joined the Democratic Party of Vietnam and Bloc 8406 to fight for democratic freedom and human rights for the Vietnamese nation through peaceful dialogue and nonviolent means,'' Kim said.
His writings, Kim said, had been part of a campaign against government corruption.
Vietnam's government routinely convicts and jails its political opponents, but it generally prosecutes them under Article 88, a lesser offense that prohibits spreading "propaganda against the state.''

*Bicycle Film Festival Special Edition*
The Bicycle Film Festival started 11 years ago in New York City, and has come a long way since then, growing to encompass events in 25 cities in the United States and across the globe from Helsinki to Tokyo.
An all-inclusive celebration of all things cycling, the festival seeks to highlight cycling in all its forms, and even though the event does have a decidedly urban focus, past films have included just about every one of cycling's disciplines.
For this week's Theater Thursday, here's a look at this year's festival lineup.
Dates and information can be found here.
2012 Festival Compilation
Line of Sight
"Line Of Sight is a rare view into underground bicycle messenger racing which has become a global phenomenon. For over a decade Lucas Brunelle has been riding with the fastest, most skilled urban cyclists around the world while capturing all the action with his customized helmet cameras to bring you along for the ride."
Amidst the seemingly endless fields of the Po Valley lies Villa Rocca –a 20 people strong community, dominated by a 500-year-old, inexorably crumbling castle. For one day a year, the morbid and almost magical place comes to life. A colorful bunch of velophile Italians convert the castle grounds into a single speed cyclocross course.

FREMONT — A woman suspected of stealing $34 in used clothing from a thrift store was bitten by a police dog, and her boyfriend was shot with a Taser Sunday, as the couple tried to flee, police said.
The suspects were identified as Fremont resident Hester Winchester, 31, and 26-year-old Ryan Brandon Witter of Livermore.
Both were treated for their wounds and booked into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on suspicion of burglary and evading police. Witter also was arrested for violating the terms of his felony parole.
Police were dispatched to Thrift Town on Grimmer Boulevard near Blacow Road about 12:45 p.m. Sunday after employees watched a woman run out of the store without paying for clothes, Sgt. Chris Mazzone said.
Employees saw the woman run to a white Toyota 4-Runner, which then headed north on Blacow Road, Mazzone said.
Responding officers spotted the vehicle minutes later and tried to pull it over but the driver continued, running two stop signs in a nearby residential neighborhood.
When the truck stopped, the driver got out and ran away.
As officers chased the driver, the passenger took the wheel of the 4-Runner and drove away.
Police shot the man with a Taser as he tried to jump over a fence on Ives Court, the sergeant said.
About an hour later, police searched the area again and found the 4-Runner abandoned about a half-mile away on Porter Street.
With the use of the K-9, officers found the woman — who was wearing a black leather jacket with a Thrift Town price tag attached — hiding in nearby bushes. She was bitten on the arm when she would not surrender, Mazzone said.
Witter and Winchester are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at the Fremont Hall of Justice.

Francisco making progress in rehab stint
Francisco making progress in rehab stint
Francisco has been out of action since May 21 because of a strained left hamstring. Francisco returned earlier this week in a designated-hitter role and so far has one hit in eight at-bats.
The 30-year-old veteran began the season as Toronto's fifth outfielder, but faces a somewhat uncertain future with the club having since explored other options.
"We have 20 days total to get him at-bats at the Minor League level before we have to activate him [or] option him," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "We know he's a proven right-handed pinch-hitter that can come off the bench. We have to make sure that [his] hamstring is not an issue."
Francisco originally injured his hamstring during Spring Training and was never able to get completely healthy during his time in Toronto. He has appeared in just 16 games this season, posting a .206 average in 16 at-bats.
"It was lingering," Farrell said of the hamstring injury. "He was having lingering discomfort at times while he was here -- and then when we put him in right field, that's when it really showed up. That's when he finally went down with the injury. So, for him to come up, we have to make sure we give him ample time in the outfield."
In other injury news, Triple-A outfielder Moises Sierra was struck on the wrist by a pitch on Saturday night. X-rays were negative, but it wasn't immediately clear when he would be able to return to the lineup.
First baseman Adam Lind also had to miss some time this week at Las Vegas. The veteran infielder fouled a ball off his ankle, but was expected to return on Sunday.
"He went through full BP, ran the bases, full defensive work," Farrell said. "That was fine, no problems [on Saturday]."

It's full steam ahead for Eastbourne College after it won unanimous support from the town's planning committee for its next major development.
Project 150 is so named as it is due to be completed in 2017 when the College will celebrate its 150th anniversary of its founding by local people and the then Duke of Devonshire.
A spokesperson for the College said, "It is a bold and very carefully considered plan to transform a large part of the College's central site between the Birley Centre (opened 2011) and the iconic buildings that look out on to College Field.
"In all, well over an acre of land will be transformed over three and four floors into a new sports complex, dining and social facilities, 31 state-of-the-art classrooms and much more. It will transform the educational experience of girls and boys who attend the College."
The Birley Centre not only benefits College students but is also used as a hub for the local community, and the College promises Project 150 will see a dramatic extension of this activity.
The spokesperson said, "A central theme of the College's development is that it should be ever more actively involved in the life of Eastbourne; we want to be at the heart of the town in terms of education, creative arts, sport or charitable activity. Project 150, with Birley, will be a cornerstone of this activity for decades to come.
"The culmination of over 20 years of careful strategic planning, Project 150 enables the College to take a giant step forward in a very short time. It is innovative in its approach, rolling more than three major projects into a single build that may be completed, we are advised, in as few as 85 weeks.
"The development represents a wonderful opportunity for the College and the town of Eastbourne to celebrate our 150th anniversary and build a beacon of excellence that will benefit generations of young people in the 21st century and beyond."
Work will now begin on the tendering process with a view to construction beginning in mid-2015.

Anritsu (Richardson, TX) has announced the PTCRB-approved protocol test case for IMS Emergency Services. This critical test case is available on the ME7834L Protocol Conformance Test (PCT) and Carrier Acceptance Test (CAT) system. The IP Multimedia Subsystem or IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) is an architectural framework for delivering IP multimedia services. It was originally designed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), as a part of the vision for evolving mobile networks beyond GSM. The initial formulation (3GPP Rel-5) represented an approach to delivering "Internet services" over GPRS, and was later updated by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and ETSI TISPAN to require support of networks other than GPRS, such as WLAN, CDMA2000 and fixed lines. The ME7834L PCT:
- Provides device certification solutions for VoLTE and SMS over IMS.
- Is a scalable GCF- and PTCRB-validated test system that enables certification of LTE devices to industry and carrier standards.
- Features test coverage for 3GPP 36.523-1 (Protocol), as well as global operator-specified acceptance test package requirements.
- Can also be configured as a customized integrated environment for InterRAT tests between LTE, GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA2000, and TD-SCDMA mobile systems.

Jhené Aiko graced the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon stage to perform her somber track "The Worst." Backed by The Roots, this marked the singer-songwriter's first late-night television appearance.
The live acoustics gave the track an even more ambient feel, as Aiko sang buttery vocals. We'd say that the West Coast native did very well for her first time visiting Fallon.
The audio version appears on Aiko's Sail Out EP, which is available for purchase via iTunes now. See Jhené Aiko perform "The Worst" in the clip below. Let us know your thoughts of her performance in the comments.

War centenary boosts profit of heritage thieves
Armed with state-of-the-art metal detectors, diving equipment and explosives, thieves are plundering historic sites around Britain and its coastal waters to cash in on the centenary of the First World War.
Increased interest in historic artefacts and shipwrecks, inspired by a series of anniversaries, has brought a heightened risk of theft, leading to an unprecedented crackdown from heritage and maritime bodies.
Mark Harrison, a policing and crime adviser at English Heritage, said that the value of artefacts had risen to coincide with key dates, such as the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 2010 and the centenary of the First World War.
"We've certainly seen a correlation with certain anniversaries," he said. "In 2010, we saw a rise in the price of Battle…

morgendwrote a review of Giordana Laser Men's Bib Shorts on September 11, 2011
I have been riding this bib all summer. Short commutes to work ~20 miles and and some longer half century rides. It fits well, doesn't sag and stays in place. I have several pair of Pearls and was never fully happy with the fit, and the legs. These have a more euro fit, and the leg grippers are great. Initially the chamois felt a little thin, but it has held its own against my other shorts. All in all, a step up from Pearl for fit from my perspective, and a solid bib.

(May 25th, 2012) The high yield bond market is back in the news again. On the back of increased concerns over the events in Europe there's been an increase in high yield market volatility over the past few weeks. Investors have seen this in the price movements ofHYG (the iShares iBoxx High Yield Bond ETF). Of particular focus has been a series of redemptions out of HYG and other high yield ETFs. These trades have been at times misunderstood by market participants, so I'm going to try to provide some clarity.
First off, it's important to remember that HYG, just like all other iShares ETFs, has a process by which shares can be created and redeemed in large quantities on a daily basis (see a great video explaining this concept here). So if investors are leaving the high yield bond market and selling shares of HYG, this may result in shares of HYG being redeemed and the shares outstanding declining. This is a classic example of the ETF creation/redemption process in play.
But what's interesting about the recent activity is that in addition to investors exiting the high yield market, some of the redemption activity we have seen in high yield ETFs is from investors who actually want to own high yield bonds. Confusing? I'll explain.
Let's say that you are a large investor and you want to build a high yield bond portfolio. You know that transaction costs in the high yield market can be very high and that, due to the nature of the over-the-counter bond market, it could take days or even weeks to build a diversified portfolio. With the growth of high yield ETFs, you now have a faster, cheaper way of building a bond portfolio – by buying shares of the ETF on the exchange, and then redeeming those shares in exchange for bonds from the ETF.
This is what happened with some of the redemptions we recently saw in the market. Large investors wanted to own a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds, so they bought up shares of a high yield ETF on the exchange, and then redeemed the shares of the ETF for the underlying bonds. This is exactly what HYG and our other high yield iShares ETFs are designed to do – provide a liquid alternative to the over-the-counter bond market.
The key to such a trade is that HYG and our other fixed income iShares ETFs primarily use an "in kind" creation and redemption process, which ensures that the costs of creating and redeeming shares are kept outside the fund. The transaction costs for creations and redemptions are borne by the transacting investor, and don't impact other shareholders.
Investors should note that not all fixed income ETFs use the same creation and redemption mechanism employed by HYG. I would recommend that investors do their due diligence on any ETF that they are looking to invest in to ensure they understand the details.
Matt Tucker, CFA is the iShares Head of Fixed Income Strategy and a regular contributor to the iShares Blog. You can find more of his posts here.
Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. High yield securities may be more volatile, be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk, and may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price to value than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.

I agree with most that the starting 5 should stay the same. I didn't feel that way before game 4, but Ross was certainly more engaged and effective defensively last game, and that's the most important thing for him right now. If he plays strong D, he can stay on the floor and the offensive opportunities will come and no doubt he will knock them down. This kid makes one shot and look out, the flood gates could open.
Ross does not look ready for playoff basketball atm, but we shouldn't give up on him. The kid is a baller, we all know that, so it's only a matter of time. Also, starting him does not mean you commit to playing him X minutes, so he can be yanked at any time in favour of Vasquez.

I got my adventurewagen top by scanning craigslist. Every now and then you see something. For about 3 months there was a 1982 full adventurewagen in central calif for $1500! Nobody wanted it! And it ran good too. Someone could have bought that, grabbed the top, put a pop-top in it's place and re-sold the van for $1000.
Sat Jul 14, 2007 11:15 am
in United Kingdon: http://www.timbertechnicians.co.uk/9301/13301.html are a little cheaper.. about $800 and come highly recommended by their customers. Shipping might be problematic as it's by space, not weight. Might be advisable to get several at one time .. might be able to get a better price on toppers too.
Good Luck!

WOW....nice web site Lloyd....thanks!!!
How come no one here in the US does this stuff? Or they just aren't advertising.
Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:21 pm
Has one made their own high top or seen a home made one? I've been looking for an Adventurewagen top, can't seem to come up with one, and started thinking about making something.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - A 9-foot alligator was the last thing Luann and Jorge Alonso expected to see on the front porch of their Coral Springs home Thursday morning.
When a loud noise woke Luann up around 5 a.m., she asked her husband to investigate. What he found was that alligator sitting just outside their door.
Situated by a canal that neighbors say flows directly from the Everglades, alligators aren't uncommon sights in their backyards.
The Alonsos have a miniature pinscher who likes to sit in the window. Neighbors believe the gator may have seen the dog and went looking for a meal.
Luann says they often walk Gucci in the early-morning hours.
Trapper Kevin Garvey removed the gator. He says it will be returned to the wild or sent to a gator farm.

Great Gatsby mansion to be razed
This dilapidated 25-room mansion located in Sands Point, New York that helped inspire F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby is scheduled to be razed and replaced with five $10 million mansions.
Speaking of Great Gatsby, last month an eponymous video game (play it here) went viral online that purported to be from the old 8-bit Nintendo era. It was a pretty awesome game, especially for those of us old timers who grew up during that period. Alas the game and concept was actually created by San Francisco developer Charles Hoey along with Pete Smith, a Nerve.com editor. TRICKERY!

I'm still wondering if that shit in the chorus was auto tune
holy shit
Album Rating: 2.5yea it was. don't care about autotune anymore but it just plain sucks so...
Does it rule?
It's so fucking awful
He was using an accent from Relapse with the phonyness of Recovery
pissed that the new album is called MMLP2
Album Rating: 2.5it comes off as ridiculously try hard.
Why is it called MMLP2 anyway
none of what he's saying has anything to do with that or are the themes similar, and the atmosphere is
completely different
He either genuinely thinks this is a good follow up to it or just wants to cash in on the name
Album Rating: 4.5Probably a combination of both
maybe he's tryin to redefine his image again
i'm hoping the album has a few decent songs tho. even if it isn't amazing i'll still be ok with a 3-3.5
I'm a pretty optimistic person, so I still want (Or wanted) to give a chance, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I just dunno
If it's a 3.5, then it's awesome.
He is really trying hard to get back to his form. But you can't force it.
Also Redemption was such a better album name. Fit into the whole "Re" typeset. Could've released a boxset with; Relapse, Recovery, Redemption.
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights
Now why would someone want a boxset of that remains unanswered

Bayern Munich surprised by Ribery red card
Bayern Munich officials and players have spoken of their surprise at referee Roberto Rosetti's decision to send off Franck Ribery during the Bavarians' 1-0 win over Lyon in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
• Lomas: Robben the inspiration
• Wednesday night gallery
• Forum: Can Lyon turn it around? UEFA will decide next Wednesday whether Ribery will face any more than the automatic one-game ban for his red card and although chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was disappointed with the referee's decision, he believes his side have given themselves every chance of playing at the Bernabeu. "I have to pay a compliment to the team - we really deserved it,'' he said. "We now have decent chance of reaching the final. Our aim will be to go to Lyon to score a goal because then they would have to score three and that would be difficult for them. "It's unfortunate that the referee gave a red card. But we cannot change it and we have got to accept it and hope that UEFA are not too harsh on him so that he could be in final and that the ban reflects the incident.'' Bayern's director of sport Christian Nerlinger admitted he was "shocked'' at the decision. "I have seen it again on TV and maybe you can give him a yellow card,'' he said. "We hope he is treated like it was a yellow card. I was very shocked, but the referee has taken this decision and we are not going to criticise him.'' While Bayern coach Louis van Gaal said: ''He didn't lunge at him with his leg,'' said ''It is a harsh red card, but you can give it. Franck gave the referee the chance to send him off by standing on his foot for longer than necessary. I hope he only gets banned for one match.'' Some of Bayern's stars expressed how they were dumbfounded by Rosetti's decision to reduce the home side to 10 men in the first half. "Nobody expected him to show red,'' Thomas Muller said, who insisted he had got his "hair'' to Arjen Robben's shot to deflect it past Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for the decisive goal. "I didn't go to the hairdresser this week when I was meant to do and maybe it was a good job I didn't,'' he joked. "We have shown that we can beat Lyon. If we can beat them at home, then we can also beat them away. We have great morale levels.'' Despite Muller's claim the goal looks likely to go down as Robben's, with the Dutchman adding to the goals he scored against Fiorentina in the first knockout stage and Manchester United in the quarter-finals on his way to 20 goals in all competitions since his summer move from Real Madrid. "We are delighted to have him and nobody expected he would score so many goals,'' beamed Rummenigge. Lyon also ended the game with 10 men when Jeremy Toulalan picked up two yellow cards in just three minutes in the second half and that could well have been the turning point, according to their coach Claude Puel. "We knew that the referee would punish us for the slightest of mistakes and that happened with Toulalan,'' he said. "It's a shame we could not keep our numerical superiority for longer. "With 10 men each, we had to run a lot, but we were unable to maintain possession in attack. Even if the result is not in our favour, the tie is still open and it will be decided in the second leg.''

WACO — With top-10 teams falling across the nation, No. 12 Baylor entered its homecoming game against Iowa State determined not to join the list of victims.
And thanks to its defense — not its nation-leading offense — it got the job done.
Baylor lit up the home scoreboard again in a 71-7 victory Saturday — its largest margin of victory in a conference game — but it was the defense that set the tone with its finest performance of the season.
"That probably is the best game we've played since I've been here," said senior linebacker Sam Holl, who had an interception Saturday. "We've waited a long time for this, we've worked really hard to improve.
"Things are finally clicking for the defense here, and that's making us a much better team."
The Baylor offense was typically explosive, racking up 714 total yards of offense. But the defense was stellar, shutting out the Cyclones until 47 seconds remained in the game and allowing just 174 total yards to help Baylor (6-0) to its first 3-0 start in Big 12 play in school history.
"We're the only thing holding us back," senior safety Ahmad Dixon said. "Nothing else can hold us back, nothing else can stop us from winning this Big 12 championship except for (the defense)."
Don't tell that to the offense, which sees its defensive counterparts as equally capable of putting opponents away.
"We've been watching this for, how many, six games, right?" junior running back Lache Seastrunk said. "They've been shutting people out — this ain't nothing new to us."
The offense needed that helping hand early after Iowa State (1-6, 0-4) forced a Baylor punt on its opening drive. The Bear defense responded by forcing a three-and-out on the ensuing drive, which started in BU territory.
The Cyclones' next drive was even shorter, ending in two plays after Aaron Wimberly forced a fumble that Eddie Lackey recovered for the turnover.
"It's huge for us," quarterback Bryce Petty said of the defensive stops. "That's just momentum for us."
In the meantime, the offense came to life as Antwan Goodley put the Bears on the board on a beautiful pass from Petty for a 4-yard score, followed by Seastrunk capping a two-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown after the fumble.
The Bears' next two drives stalled inside the 5, but with the defense only allowing three first downs in the opening half — all on one drive that stalled in Baylor territory again —- it didn't matter.
Without fail, the offense began clicking late in the second, scoring 17 points in the final five minutes of the first half.
The first score came on a 2-yard touchdown run by Seastrunk, who had 100 yards in the first half, including a dazzling 48-yarder to set up his second touchdown. The Temple product finished with 118 yards on the ground.
The second score was a 36-yard touchdown by Goodley, who found himself all alone on a slant on fourth-and-6, part of a nine catch, 138-yard effort in the first half. He finished with 11 catches for 182 yards in a dominant performance.
""He's a stud, he's a great player," Petty said of Goodley. "We knew it all along, (we were) trying to keep him quiet, I guess, in camp so no one really figures him out — but you can't keep him quiet during the season."
Halftime proved no match for the Bear momentum, as the Cyclones' opening drive came to a screeching halt thanks largely to the second sack of the game by Chris McAllister.
The offense kept it rolling with a 10-play drive, helped by a 45-yard grab by Goodley, which Petty finished with a 6-yard quarterback keeper for a 44-0 lead.
The Bears added two special teams touchdowns — a 52-yard punt return by Levi Norwood in the third and a 97-yard kickoff return by Corey Coleman in the fourth — to complete the lopsided win.
And after successfully avoiding the upset bug, the Bears' only hope was to do it again a week later against Kansas.
"It's just we've got to keep doing it, that's the thing," coach Art Briles said. "We're closer than we were two weeks ago, but we're not where we need to be yet."
We've still got to keep getting better — just being as clean as possible in all three phases."

We're not sure how the guys over at the Official Sony Blog are going to do it, but they're going to have their work cut out for them this week. Last week's PlayStation Store update took up quite a long page, but this week is the launch of the PlayStation Portable Go! and Sony has claimed 16,000 pieces of downloadable content will be available for it. It's hard to imagine that the blog is going to be able to identify and list every piece of the PSP content this week, isn't it?
According to the manufacturer, the content will be comprised of approximately 255 downloadable titles (that is, a mixture of full PSP titles, PSN exclusives, UMD legacy titles and Minis) alongside 2300 films and 13,000 television episodes.
This gives off the impression that there is going to be a little of something for everyone. With titles like God of War Chains of Olympus, Gran Turismo, and Final Fantasy: Crisis Core being made available from day one, I find it difficult to believe that Sony won't make a lot of money this upcoming Thursday. Anyway, we'll be sure to bring you the full content details with this Thursday's launch.

A 30-year-old man is being sought by police after officers found his elderly mother slain in her home.
The San Rafael Police Department says Richard Leroy Carlson is a person of interest in its investigation of the apparent homicide of the 72-year-old woman. Officials are not releasing the woman's name or cause of death.
Officers found the woman's body early Monday morning after responding to an alarm and noticing signs of a break-in at her home.
Margo Rohrbacher, a police spokeswoman, says the victim in January sought a temporary restraining order against her son after a violent argument. The restraining order was issued but had not yet been served.
Police say Carlson is 5-foot-11, about 160 pounds and has brown eyes and hair. Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911.

Writing advice you're not going to like.
People sometimes send me Asks wanting writing advice. I suck at it. I don't really know how I do the writing, or how one should do the writing, or what one should do to get better at the writing. All I can ever think to say is "write a lot of stuff and you will get better at the writing." Which is true, but hardly a bolt from the sky.
Well, as it turns out, I do have one piece of Legit Writing Advice, and I am going to share it with you, right now. If you were in any of my writing workshop groups at a con, you've heard this advice already.
Warning: you're going to fucking hate it. But if you do it, you will thank me.
If you have a piece of fiction you're serious about, something you might want to actually shop around, or just something you really are into and want to make it as good as you can…do NOT edit it.
Repeat. DO NOT EDIT.
As in, print out the whole fucking thing and re-enter it, every word (or use two screens). Retype the whole thing. Recreate it from the ground up using your first draft as a template. Start with a blank page and re-enter every. single. word.
I hear you screaming. OH MY GOD THAT'S INSANE.
Yes. Yes, it is.
It is also the most powerful thing you will ever do for a piece of fiction that you are serious about.
Now, let's get real. I don't do this for most things. I don't do it for my fanfiction. But if it's something original, something I might like to get to a professional level - I do it. You absolutely COULD do it for fanfiction. It's just up to you and how much time you want to sink into a piece.
You can edit, sure. But you WILL NOT get down to the level of change that needs to happen in a second draft. You will let things slide. Your eyes will miss things. You will say "eh, good enough."
The first time I did this, on someone else's advice, I was dubious. Within two pages, I was saying WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN DOING THIS ALL THE TIME. I was amazed at how much change was happening. By the time I got to the end, I had an entirely different novel than the one I'd started with. When you're already re-entering every single word, it's easy to make deep changes. You'll reformat sentences, you'll switch phrases around, you'll massage your word choice. You'll discover whole paragraphs that don't need to be there at all because they became redundant. You'll find dialogue exchanges that need reimagining. Whole plot points will suddenly be different, whole story arcs will reveal their flaws and get re-drawn.
You cannot get down to the fundamental level of change that's required just by editing an existing document. You have to rebuild it if you really want your story to evolve. You will be AMAZED at the difference it will make.
It will take time. It will seem like a huge, Herculean task. I'm not saying it's easy. It isn't. But it is absolutely revolutionary.
Try it. I promise, you will see what I mean.

Worldwide personal-computer shipments dropped in the first quarter as consumers in emerging markets opted for smartphones and tablets, while corporate demand helped slow the pace of the decline, researchers said.
Unit sales fell 1.7 percent from a year earlier to 76.6 million, market researcher Gartner said Wednesday in a statement. IDC, another technology-research firm, said quarterly shipments worldwide fell 4.4 percent to 73.4 million.
The PC market is on course for a third annual contraction, threatening earnings at companies that rely on sales of the devices, such as Intel and Hewlett-Packard. One bright spot in the first quarter was an increase in business orders for desktop machines ahead of Microsoft's end to support for its Windows XP operating system, Gartner said.
"While the PC market remains weak, it is showing signs of improvement compared to last year," Mikako Kitagawa, an analyst at Gartner, said in the statement. In January, the Stamford, Connecticut-based researcher said PC shipments fell 6.9 percent in the fourth quarter, and 10 percent in 2013.
Shipments in the U.S. reached 14.1 million units, a gain of 2.1 percent from a year ago, Gartner said. In the Asia-Pacific region, units shipped were 24.9 million, down 11 percent. IDC said U.S. unit sales slipped 0.6 percent to 14.3 million.
Lenovo Group was the top vendor for the quarter, with global market share rising to 17.7 percent, IDC said. Hewlett- Packard was No. 2 with 17.1 percent, followed by Dell with 13.4 percent. All three grew from a year earlier at the expense of rivals Acer and Asustek Computer. Acer's shipments declined 20 percent, IDC said.
"We're seeing a consolidation," Loren Loverde, a researcher at IDC, said in an interview. "These top three are doing relatively well, but Acer and Asus are struggling because of their exposure to consumers."
Last month, IDC projected PC unit sales will fall 6.1 percent this year — the third consecutive decline — to 295.9 million from 315.1 million in 2013. The research firm estimates the market will shrink through 2018.

Downton Abbey stars go downtown USA
THE cast of Downton Abbey got in the party mood after crossing the Atlantic to publicise the latest series of the hit ITV period drama.
Fashion designer Ralph Lauren, a self-confessed Downton "superfan", hosted a special reception for them alongside Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.
Hugh Bonneville, 49, who plays Lord Grantham, stayed in character in a Harris tweed suit while his screen daughter and wife, Michelle Dockery, 30, and Elizabeth McGovern, 51, vamped it up in black dresses.
But Joanne Froggatt, 32, normally dowdy as maid Anna Bates, stole the show in a shocking pink shift dress designed by Lauren, with silver heels and a matching tiny clutch bag.
Party insiders said Joanne's fashion choices were spot-on at the glittering event
Party insiders said Joanne's fashion choices were spot-on at the glittering event.
The whistle-stop tour also saw the stars attend panel discussions, a screening – and even the basketball in New York's Madison Square Garden.
Downton's third series has already been broadcast in Britain. But US fans have to wait until next month before it starts. Meanwhile, in the UK, there's a two-hour special on Christmas Day.

It looks like the 8.9 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab is moving along as expected. Well, as expected to make the June 8th launch date anyway. The most recent Galaxy Tab 8.9 related news deals with the image you see above, which comes courtesy of the FCC. Yup, the FCC has given its seal of approval to Samsung and that means the Galaxy Tab 8.9 is one step closer to a release. Or at least it has one less hurdle to pass before being released. Otherwise, according to the FCC filing, we can tell you that the tablet features an 8.9 inch display, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth. Also noted in the filing were the front and rear cameras as well as two speakers. Of course, we had already heard the specs when Samsung made the official announcement and those included a 1280 x 800 resolution, dual-core processor, 16GB or 32GB of internal storage and Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Or possibly Android 3.1 Honeycomb.

The Voiceless
By Oliver Wendell Holmes
WE count the broken lyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But o'er their silent sister's breast
The wild-flowers who will stoop to number?
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy Fame is proud to win them:--
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone
Whose song has told their hearts' sad story,--
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
O'er Sappho's memory-haunted billow,
But where the glistening night-dews weep
On nameless sorrow's churchyard pillow.
O hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lip and fading tresses,
Till Death pours out his longed-for wine
Slow-dropped from Misery's crushing presses,--
If singing breath or echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven!
["Read what the singing-women-- one to ten thousand of the suffering women-- tell us, and think of the griefs that die unspoken! Nature is in earnest when she makes a woman; and there are women enough lying in the next churchyard with very commonplace blue slate stones at their head and feet, for whom it was just as true that 'all sounds of life assumed one tone of love,' as for Letitia Landon, of whom Elizabeth Browning said it; but she could give words to her grief, and they could not.-- Will you hear a few stanzas of mine?" The Autocrat of the Breakfast Tab1e, p. 300.]

That video lesson on how to draw Tokyo Mew Mew was pretty swell and well done! During this very second, I'm going to be submitting another video that's Mew Mew related. Today you will be learning "how to draw Mew Ichigo step by step." The name "Ichigo" can be frequently mistaken by the lead character from Bleach. I get requests all the time on this character but get a bit confused due to Ichigo Kurosaki. As all of you Tokyo Mew Mew fans know, the name "Ichigo" means strawberry in Japanese! This of course fits the personality of the Tokyo Mew Ichigo character. To "draw Mew Ichigo", you'll have to get familiarized with the basic shape of her head, eyes, and hairstyle. To me, she resembles the character Karin from "Chibi Vampire". The artist that rendered this character, did a great job on the coloring, form, and line work. I really hope you'll enjoy this raving video on "how to draw Mew Ichigo step by step"! I had a great time watching the artist's cool techniques. Peace out and have fun!

A MAN is "lucky to be alive" after his car flipped over, ploughed into a garden wall and landed on its roof during a head-on crash.
Now fed-up and frightened residents living on Noak Hill Road, Billericay - which has already seen one fatal crash in recent years - are calling for urgent action to cut the speed limit before someone else is killed.
The drama unfolded when a man, travelling in a grey Renault Espace towards Basildon, crashed head on with a woman travelling in the opposite direction in a blue Ford KA.
With the force of the impact the man's car flipped into the air, and crashed into the wall of a home before coming to rest on its roof.

Museum Administrator and Curator of the Great Plains Art Museum, Amber Mohr, has announced she will be leaving her position as of Jan. 27, 2014. Mohr has held this position since 2004, and, prior to her employment at the Great Plains Art Museum, had worked with the collection as an intern.
"I love this collection, and I always will," said Mohr. "I had always told myself that if a position ever opened up in this museum, no matter how happy I happened to be wherever I was working, I had to apply. It's been a rewarding experience."
Mohr said she hopes others might view her tenure at the Museum as forming some kind of legacy, but more than anything it is the relationships she has valued. "I am extremely proud of several accomplishments, and when I think of each one I think of the people involved in bringing them about for the Museum. It was a thrill to work with Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie to build her exhibition "Double Vision," based specifically on the Museum's vintage photograph collection. And then to bring Hulleah back to jury our first competition focused on artworks that highlight Indigenous themes on the Plains solidified so many more relationships between artists and the Museum. Her selection of Gina Adams as 'Best in Show' endorsed an already exciting career for Adams and I have felt so fortunate Gina has kept me informed of her developments." Likewise, the annual education program sponsored by the Elizabeth Rubendall Foundation, the Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-in-Residence, has been an opportunity for Mohr to acquire significant artworks for the Museum's collection and to form significant friendships. "I exchange holiday cards and emails with each of the artists we've hosted. I consider them friends, they met my children, and we've celebrated each other's successes outside of their experience in the Museum."
Mohr fondly recalls hosting exhibitions that connected her viewers to their own past. One of the first exhibitions she brought was "Last Year on the Farm," V. . . . Vaughan's plein air series on the shifting landscapes of the Plains as an agrarian state. "So many Museum patrons came to me during that exhibition just to share their personal farm stories, and came back to view the exhibitions multiple times. That was a great introduction of both me to the Museum audience, and for the audience to introduce themselves to me."
Looking back on exhibitions, events, and interactions with people, Mohr said, "I feel like I have presented things that made an impact . . . that touched people."
Mohr is not leaving to take on a professional position at another collecting institution. She and her family are moving to Avoca, Iowa to live on the farmland her Grandparents lived and farmed beginning in 1955. "I feel like my curatorial interests have so often intersected with topics of agricultural preservation, nonetheless I'm sure this comes as a surprise to many. Despite our melancholy feelings at leaving, we are very excited to give farming a try; it's about the only thing worth leaving our home, friends, and lives here in Lincoln for. My whole family is very happy to see family living in the home, and to see the acres around the home put to productive use once again."
Mohr said she is confident that the Great Plains Art Museum will continue on successfully with the programs she played a part in forming, and ones she can't imagine yet. "I'm excited to see what my successor will bring. I plan to keep up with the Museum and the community. If you happen to stop by a Farmer's Market in Lincoln and see the booth for Fork Tail Farm, please stop by and say hello."

Gaza's victims
Dear Editor: In her op-ed (Daily News, July 26, "Gaza's victims: civilians, peace and Israel's reputation"), Princess Haya Al Hussein states: "Israel has proven its military might, but to what end?" The answer is simple. Israel has used its military might to stop the incessant rocket attacks on its civilians and to destroy the tunnels built by Hamas for the purpose of infiltrating Israel and murdering its civilians.
Ms. Hussein ignores the underlying existential issue: Hamas is dedicated to the "destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews everywhere." These are the words of Hamas.
The "princess" might feel differently if she were to leave her palace (literally) and live on a kibbutz in the Negev with her immediate family for the next week.
David Mullens,
Palo Alto

Dear Editor: Princess Haya Al Hussein's July 26 op-ed was quite interesting and I am sure very sincere about wanting peace without war. I do wonder, however, if she knows that her father, the late King Hussein I of Jordan, when he felt threatened by the Palestinians in his country, unleashed his troops and slaughtered 25,000 civilians in one weekend. This became known as Black Sunday. It is obvious that Israel has the might to do the same thing, but is not.
Saul Eisenstat,
Los Altos
• • •
Dear Editor: Princess Haya Al Hussein's July 26 op-ed about Gaza was ridiculously wrong. If the Palestinians in Gaza are poor, it is because of their leaders of Hamas. The United States and Europe gave a vast amount of funds to them for humanitarian relief, and Israel reluctantly allowed concrete and building supplies to enter Gaza.
Hamas smuggled in 10,000 rockets and fired thousands into Israel. Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel, even though most are stopped by the Iron Dome or don't hit intended targets. Israel in Gaza has found that Hamas built a vast network of 23 connected tunnels with 63 access shafts up to one mile long and 100 feet deep under the border of Israel, intended for infiltration by terrorists. Imagine what they could have constructed instead for their people: schools, medical facilities, residences, etc. Hamas is the epitome of terrorism and economic waste.

Tea Companies donating to Haiti
Do you know of any companies that are donating profits to Haiti relief efforts? If so, post them here so people know where they can help out.
There was already a discussion about Teavana, but I wanted to get a discussion for all companies. Teavana is matching up to $20,000 donated to CARE.
Here's the discussion: http://steepster.com/discuss/255-teavana-matching-donations-for-haiti-relief
For a quick link, here's the Tevana/CARE donate page: https://my.care.org/site/Donation2?s_src=HaitiJan2010Donor&df_id=5540&5540.donation=form1&s_subsrc=ShortURL
'We are happy to share that the Bigelow Tea Company and the Bigelow Family have made a donation to the Red Cross for the recovery work in Haiti.'
Benay at Bigelow
Tavalon is also participating. They're donating 40% proceeds for the Serenity Blend sales to help. Details here: http://tavalon.com/blog/?p=462
Sweet Leaf Tea has donated tea.
I have been chatting with one of the girls at Sweet Leaf Tea! Here is an update from them…
I just wanted to give everyone an update on the fundraiser. We're still collecting funds from some of the other businesses that participating, but in total, we'll have raised more than $6000 that can go to immediate use thanks to everyone's efforts. It was amazing to see everything come together so quickly – thank you all so much!!
The money basically fills three large vans or small planes full of food, water, and medical supplies, along with other miscellaneous needs. Here's one example of a van-load of supplies that Makarios put together:
20 tarps
300 diapers
120 bags of oatmeal
15 cases of water
240 pounds of salamis
228 pounds of powdered milk
20 containers of cooking oil
30 cans of beans
75 pounds of rice
15 boxes baby cereal
Antibiotics and painkillers for 80 people
an assortment of other medical supplies
You can also follow Makarios' updates on their homepage at:
No water purifier? That would be more efficient and cost-effective than bottled water.
I believe they or one of the organizations they supported gave that upfront???
Thank you for these! I am going to cross promote on my blog!
Great topic! There is a lot of devistation here…another earthquake yesterday morning. The people are just great…despite the devestation and desperate trial they are facing many are working hard to try and get some form of normalcy. We are doing our best to help in any form or fashion. My hat off to the Tea Companies! And to you. A challenge: if you love tea – donate!
Thanks so much Jason for compiling this list! This is a great idea to collect this information in one place.
The Tea Set is also donating a remarkable 100% of their sales up through Jan. 22 to Haiti, through Rotary International. Here's the blog post:
Good to see their website is back up! I had problems accessing it for about a week! :) I added this to my blog! Thanks for letting us know!
Thank you for this topic Jason! And just a note to everyone who would like to donate, I urge you to donate money rather than supplies to an organization that experience in emergency disaster relief, such as Partners in Health, The Red Cross, or Doctors Without Borders/MSF. These organizations have far more purchasing power than we do, can buy supplies in Haiti and stimulate their economy, can purchase exactly what they need at the time, and it costs money to fly supplies over rather than buy them directly.
We're donating 5% of our sales this week to the Red Cross, I'm really excited!
Thank you very much! I will check out your website and cross promote it on my blog!
Actually I can't find it on your website…do you have a direct URL for that that I can link!?
Oh I probably should have been more specific, I work at the Store, so sometimes when I say "our" or "we" I kind of just mean the Tea Shop. www.harneyteashop.blogspot.com
Sorry for the cross post, but it's a worthy cause so I thought it was worth mentioning in as many places as I can so the most people will see it.
I haven't seen this yet so thanks for posting (again) – will add to my tea blog!
From The Tea Spot- Due to ongoing relief needed in Haiti, we're extending our Hearts for Haiti gift set and donations through the remainder of 2010. In addition, on March 1, we're going to advance our estimated donations that will be generated from this gift set throughout the year.
For each gift set sold, we're donating $1 to Partners In Health, a non-profit mobilizing current relief efforts in Haiti. They have played a critical role in providing medical care to Haitians who cannot afford it otherwise, since 1985, and continue to be an invaluable resource for rebuilding the nation.
Hearts For Haiti includes a pink Tuffy Steeper, large tins of Meditative Mind and Bolder Breakfast teas, and a Thank You note for supporting Haiti. Each gift set is wrapped up in a recycled craft paper box with a pink ribbon. Continue to spread the love!

Hi prikryl, appreciate the quick reply. Screenshots attached. Yes, D: is available in all other situations, including CMD. It's only WinSCP which seems to dislike it! A NET USE command lists the Drive D map ok.
Just to make sure it isn't anything odd about the specific share, I mapped another share (on a different server). WinSCP doesn't list it either. Is it something to do with the WinAPI call you use to get the drive list?

OCCASIONALLY my children return from school and surprise me with a question completely out of left-field.
"Who is God's dad?" was a particularly memorable one, which my husband and I never quite managed to answer.
Not once, however, have they come home asking about sex and nor would I expect them to. After all, they are only in primary school.
Yet if the Liberal Democrats get their way, all state schools, including primaries, would have to give sex education to children as young as seven. Nick Clegg's schools minister David Laws thinks it would help the little angels to become "good citizens".
He said: "We believe that by educating children about sex and relationships in an appropriate way, we can help them to make informed choices in their personal lives." What, at seven? The only informed choice I want my young children to be making in their "personal lives" is who to invite next for a playdate. There is a time and a place for sex education and it is not in primary school.
It is bad enough that our children are subjected to sex on every available billboard without it extending to the blackboard too. If they aren't exposed to it in adverts, it is all over the TV, with pre-watershed performances by sexed-up starlets leaving little to the imagination a frequent occurrence on shows such as the X Factor.
The "sex sells" slant is not just the preserve of pop videos and illconceived children's underwear featuring slogans such as "Little Miss Naughty".
Earlier this month Penguin was criticised for republishing Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory with a heavily madeup young girl on its cover, sitting on her mother's knee, wearing a feather boa.
As bestselling Chocolat author Joanne Harris put it on Twitter: "Seriously, Penguin Books. Why not just get Rolf Harris to design the next one?" Penguin said the Lolita-like image was a representation of the "twisted" parent-child relationships depicted in the book.
Give. Me. Strength. Why don't we get Miley Cyrus to twerk her way through a stage adaption of Milly-Molly-Mandy while we're at it? Sex education should be like classified information, given out only on a "need to know" basis and primary school children do not need to know. Arguably no child does until they reach puberty.
I appreciate we do not live in Cloud Cuckoo Land but our children do (or if they don't, they should).
Technology might have advanced but children have not. They are still as innocent at birth as they have ever been, despite the fact you can now watch them making their entrance on YouTube. It might be easier to access porn online but that does not make it more acceptable for children to watch it.
You would not buy a primary-school child a pornographic magazine, would you? And yet there are plenty of parents out there who give them their own iPad.
We are the adults here. We must act more responsibly if we are to preserve our children's innocence. Teaching seven-year olds about sex is about as responsible as inviting a boyband for a sleepover with a class of teenage girls.
Call me a prude if you like. With policies like this, anything would be preferable to being labelled a Liberal Democrat.
WIVES are said to be suffering from "Retired Husband Syndrome". Symptoms include stress, depression and insomnia. The condition gets worse with each year, apparently. Why? As the old joke goes: "When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband for half the salary."
AS A self-confessed fun sponge, I am getting a little bored with people throwing buckets of water over their heads. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for raising money for charity but wouldn't a "Standing Order Challenge" be better, committing people to continuous charitable giving rather than one-off donations? As charitable gimmicks go, it is probably a bit too dry.
A semi-automatic weapon in the hands of a child? It feels ridiculous even to write it.
THE ONLINE abuse that Michelle Mone received for vowing to move to England if Scotland votes for independence once again highlights Twitter's fatal flaw. It gives morons a mouthpiece.
The Ultimo boss warned that the deficit would be too high in an independent Scotland and said she was concerned about losing the pound.
Asked by a follower if she would stay in Scotland if voters chose independence, the mother-of-three replied: "I'm off if it is... I said two years ago that I would leave if it was a Yes. We are stronger as a nation together. We don't own the £, oil etc. Deficit is too high, bad for biz/jobs."
After receiving a stream of abuse in response, she said: "Can't believe the amount of hatred this vote is causing."
It isn't the vote, there are just a lot of imbeciles out there with internet access. One said: "The quicker we vote yes, the quicker u get to **** off ya tramp!" A village somewhere in Scotland has clearly lost its idiot.
AS A child I fired shotguns and even once went on a basic handgun course with my two older brothers. We grew up shooting clay pigeons with a Fourten (the smallest gauge shotgun) and graduated to a 12-bore when we were old enough, probably around the age of 13.
I was never into shooting birds but I grew up not only with a respect for such country pursuits but also for weaponry in general. Never in a million years would I have been let near an Uzi.
A semi-automatic weapon in the hands of a child? It feels ridiculous even to write it. And yet last week a nine-year-old girl was give one to fire in "full auto" mode, with tragic consequences. She lost control of the weapon and sprayed instructor Charles Vacca with bullets at the shooting range in Las Vegas. He was airlifted to hospital but died shortly afterwards.
It is all too easy to dismiss this as another "only in America" incident but apparently this "Burgers and Bullets" range was a popular tourist destination, boasting a "Desert Storm" experience.
Forget Caesars Palace and The Mirage, it scored rave reviews on TripAdvisor and was the top-rated attraction in Las Vegas. So it seems visitors to America can be as trigger-happy as the locals.
ALL HAIL Hurricane Cristobal! Apparently the storm, which is gathering speed in the Bahamas, will narrowly miss Britain but drag an area of high pressure behind it, creating a dry, warm and sunny start to September.
Even though my husband does not turn 40 until December, we are having his party next Saturday in a bid for better weather.
Being British, we have obviously got a contingency plan in place involving gazebos and sou'westers should the heavens open but it would be good not to have to use them, not least on the fashion front.
