As a decade of change comes to a close, murder hits close to home in a small Scottish town....
On a dark, damp Sunday evening, a man taking a shortcut home sees a hand reaching out in supplication from a bundle of sacks. In an instant he knows something terrifying has happened.
In the Highlands in the late 1950s, much of the local newspaper's success was due to Mrs. Smart, the no-nonsense office manager who kept everything and everyone in line. Her murder leaves her colleagues in shock and the Highland Gazette office in chaos. Joanne Ross, a budding reporter and shamefully separated mother, assumes Mrs. Smart's duties, but an intriguing stranger provides a distraction not only from the job and the investigation but from everything Joanne believes in.Beneath the Abbey Wall brilliantly evokes a place still torn between the safety of the past and the uncertainty of the future, when rock 'n' roll and television invaded homes, and a change in attitudes still came slowly for many. As the staff of the Highland Gazette probes the crime, they uncover secrets deeply rooted in the past, and their friend's murder becomes the perfect fodder for strife and division in the town and between her colleagues.

Sure, there are palm sized RC cars that you can buy at Target. They work for a minute, charge for seven, work for another minute, then die out. The Air Hogs Hyperactive RC car is different – it's the fastest palm sized RC car! (This is true, though Air Hogs doesn't specifically make this claim. Instead, they say that the Air Hogs Hyperactive RC car is the fastest remote control car you can buy for under $80.) Air Hogs hasn't released much information on the Hyperactive, but I've managed to scrounge up some information from the slums of the internet. That back alley, black market kind of stuff. (Just kidding, I got Popsci for my birthday.)
Air Hogs Hyperactive RC Car – 600 Mph Scale Speed
Like I said, Air Hogs hasn't released much information on the Hyperactive RC. What we do know is that it has a 600 mph scale speed. Let me explain. Since the Air Hogs Hyperactive is a 1:32 scale car, and it goes over 20 mph, if we used a growth ray to make it the size of an actual car, it would theoretically go 600 mph.
Since the Air Hogs Hyperactive will be going on sale for $50 at some point this year, they can make the claim that their RC car is the fastest for under $80. The remote control that comes with the Air Hogs Hyperactive is a pistol grip remote that provides for a 150 foot range on a .4 GHz channel. (.4 GHz allows for multiple cars to be run at the same time.)
This little RC car produces so much torque that it can race around the inside of spheres and spiral up cylinders as shown in the video below. You don't want to miss the release date and updated information on the Air Hogs Hyperactive RC Car, so subscribe to Cool Gizmo Toys and ensure that you are up to date with the latest on this cool toy.

What is the worst job you have ever had?
I have done this before! Unclogging toilets was the worst part! Someone had stuffed a sweatshirt down, as well as apples, milk cartons! Basically anything that would fit! UGGGHHHH

Payment specialist. I have pretty thick skin, but after two years the regular rude, crude, and unacceptable treatment from customers is starting to get to me. Which is why I am finishing my BS so I can start looking for a salaried position with benefits. Can't leave this position until I have that degree because the job market around here is slim, and I want to be able to support my family. At least here I get forty hours guaranteed.
Cold calling -- for Sears Home Improvement when they first started out in the '80's.
We took pages from the phone book, sat at a desk with a push buttoned phone in hand and dialed away. This was for the siding for homes they came out with.
I did a pretty good job, though I do not remember the script but I sure did not see any commision. I lasted a few weeks in that job. Pronouncing some last names were difficult at times!
Then sad to hear, Oh my husband died and all that.
I even worked for the company that sells those book subscriptions. I was calling the people that sent in the cards to get the free book with their order and was calling them as they sent in the card with their info saying they were interested.
Some were very rude asking HOW we got their number and we explained how they sent in a card ( from the Sunday paper in those days or magazines back then ) and they acted like they did not know what we were talking about.
Guess they forgot weeks before about mailing off the card to have a rep. call them.
HATED cold calling even for AT&T though I got many people to subscribe to the one calling plan they had had -- after that I became an inbound rep. which was much easier for me and the companies I worked for. Made better money too.
I worked for only two weeks at a furniture place. There was an old man that used to own it (gave it to his oldest son), and he didn't have shit to do with his time. So, he would "work" with me as I tried to sell furniture. It was a show room floor, so they would order the furniture. UGH! It sucked.
The old man was rude to customers sometimes, and I couldn't make any commission selling anything. I hated that old man. I wished so much that he would just go away and let me do my job.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says Xcel Energy failed to maintain an adequate flood plan for its Monticello nuclear generating plant.
The Monticello plant has the same design as the plant in Fukushima, Japan, that melted down after an earthquake and tsunami.
The NRC has been urging American utilities with similar plants to upgrade their disaster preparations.
The agency notified Xcel that its flood plan did not assure flood protection measures could be completed within 12 days.
However, in February Xcel brought materials on the site to build a berm around the plant in case of a flood. The NRC acknowledges there is no current safety concern. The NRC says the earlier failure is likely to result in extra inspections and potentially other actions by the agency.
In a statement, Xcel wrote that safety and security at its nuclear plants are top priorities.

Your are welcome Floyd! We have several large boulders laying around the front yard.
I like this picture with the white rock for a background. Thank you.
Hi Treker! Yes, it's a heavy rock! It would probably take 4 men to move it! :O) Living in the high desert with expensive water, I took the front lawn grass out and planted all drought resistant plants! All on a drip system and way less expensive now! :O)
They look great together. I love the rock. Nothing to scale it to but I'll bet it's HEAVY! (Looks like a "two man rock" to me.)

Abby Eden co-anchors the 10 p.m. news with Phil Witt. Abby joined FOX 4 in December of 2010 as a Video journalist. She comes back to the Midwest from Tyler, Texas. She spent nearly three and a half years there enjoying the warm winters and working as an anchor and reporter for the FOX and NBC affiliates. She was also an anchor for the NBC station in Baton Rouge during her time in Texas, as her station was sort of a "news hub" for many other cities.
While working in Texas, Abby got to experience two hurricanes- Gustav and Alex. She traveled hundreds of miles into the storm while everyone else was evacuating. Abby won several awards for her work in the hurricanes and beyond. She was nominated for a regional Emmy for "Best General Assignment Reporter," she won an EMMA for best feature, a Barbara Jordan Media Award from the Texas Governor's office for her work on stories regarding people with disabilities, and several other honorable mentions from the EMMA and Texas Associated Press Broadcasters Associations.
Abby is originally from Omaha, Nebraska. She moved from the Cornhusker State to Columbia, Missouri to attend the University of Missouri. Abby graduated with a bachelor's degree in Radio/Television Journalism, minoring in Spanish. While in school, she studied abroad in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She also worked at KOMU, an NBC affiliate, as an anchor and reporter.
Abby is a dedicated runner, a television buff, a cookie and pizza connoisseur, an avid pageant watcher (former participant), and a mystery/horror book fanatic. When she's not at work, she's probably running around (literally), visiting her family, or enjoying one of the many restaurants Kansas City has to offer.

CPD's Marine Economy Fellow Caroline Hoisington has analysed the areas proposed for the creation of fully protected sanctuary zones in South Australia's marine park network. The ecosystem service values covered by the new sanctuaries are conservatively estimated as being worth $20.69 million per year.
Caroline notes that the sanctuaries are likely to deliver several benefits, both environmental (because healthier marine systems are more resilient) and in terms of productivity (improved fishing, increases in tourism), which have not been calculated in this report.
The value of the fisheries that will be displaced by creation of sanctuary zones are estimated at $5.781 million/year, with impacts varying widely within the region. Displaced fishing is a very small percentage of the Gross Regional Product (less than 1%) but will have regional impacts. This report debunks some of the claims made recently that predict excessive losses.
The report concludes that the proposed sanctuaries are an important investment in the future of South Australia's marine resources.

I doubt that there have been five major exhibitions of Japanese photography in UK institutions in 20 years. A good but rather dutiful overview was shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1979. But Black Sun (Serpentine Gallery, 1986) was exciting. It was curated by Mark Holborn, a long-time advocate to the west of Japanese photography, and introduced (to me and I suspect to the majority of its British viewers) a quartet of photographers of such obvious and luminous brilliance that the memory of the show has remained sharp, and the four photographers have remained favourites.

Joanna Cannon was born in a small Derbyshire town, at the very edge of the Peak District National Park. As an only child of an only child, a great number of her friends lived within the pages of a book, and she soon discovered what would become a life-long fascination with words, stories and character.
Jo left school at fifteen with one O-level and worked her way through many different jobs: barmaid, kennel maid, pizza delivery expert, and although these experiences may not have felt useful at the time, they gave her a breadth of understanding about people which would later become invaluable.
Jo's love of narrative had always drawn her towards psychiatry, but it wasn't until her thirties that she decided to go back to college and finally complete the A-levels she'd abandoned some fifteen years earlier. She went on to study medicine at the University of Leicester and appeared on the other side with a cap and a gown, and a brand new title. It took her so long to get used to the brand new title, she still has to remember to turn around when someone says 'doctor'.
Before specialising in psychiatry, Joanna rotated through a series of hospital jobs, from the chaos of A&E to the handkerchief quiet of palliative care. It was around this time she began writing a blog, which she found helped to empty her head of all the suffering she saw during the day (you can read the posts she wrote here). From the blog developed an idea for a novel, and Jo spent the next few months attending workshops and classes, including Faber's Writing A Novel course, in order to learn more. In the spring of 2014, Jo took part in the Womentoring Programme, where aspiring female authors are mentored by women within the publishing industry, and it was through this scheme that she met Katie Espiner of The Borough Press. The following September, Jo attended the York Festival of Writing, where she won the Friday Night Live competition (a kind of literary X-factor) with her story about two little girls in the summer of '76. Within forty-eight hours of leaving York, she had received offers of representation from a number of literary agents, and she went on to sign with Sue Armstrong of Conville and Walsh.
The Borough Press (HarperCollins) acquired Jo's novel shortly afterwards, and THE TROUBLE WITH GOATS AND SHEEP was published in January 2016. Within a fortnight of publication, it reached #3 in The Sunday Times bestsellers' list.
Jo remains in the Peak District, with her family and her dog, where she continues to explore a fascination with words, stories and people. Her second novel THREE THINGS ABOUT ELSIE will be published by HarperCollins in January 2018

The history of sleeping sickness
As a reaction on the transcontinental epidemic at the beginning of the 20th century, utmost (was it disproportionate?) priority was given to sleeping sickness research and, later, to control. As a result of years of intensive control by the end of the sixties impressive results had been obtained practically everywhere. When by the sixties and seventies most of the endemic countries became independent the lack of resources and the low prevalence of trypanosomiasis at that time made that other health priorities took over. The severe epidemics that have broken out recently in various parts of Africa show how great a risk the numerous quiescent but uncontrolled endemic foci represent.

Celia & Istvan's wedding cake & cupcakes
This past Easter long weekend I had the pleasure to finally put together and complete this lovely wedding cupcake tower for Celia and Istvan. I am very happy with how it turned out. Not only did I make the cake and cupcakes, I also created a custom cupcake tower for everything to be displayed on and hand cut all the cupcake wrappers (to match the paper I used around the pillars of the tower).
The top tier was gluten free coconut cake covered in coconut buttercream and then iced in white fondant. The orchid and lily cake topper is all made from flower modelling paste, only the ribbon was not edible.
The cupcakes were milk choc sponge topped with choc fudge buttercream and embossed white choc fondant and orange & almond cupcakes topped with orange buttercream swirl and then all topped with fondant orchids.

Missing fisherman's body recovered from Bogachiel River

Clallam County sheriff's deputies and Quileute tribal fish and wildlife enforcement officers recovered the body of William Rusk, 79, of Sequim, the Sheriff's Office said.
A Forks fishing guide spotted the body in about 6 feet of water shortly after 10 a.m. today, the Clallam County Sheriff's Office reported.
A Quileute jet boat was launched from the Bogachiel River's Wilson Road ramp to make the recovery.
Rusk, a retired engineer who recently moved to Sequim from California, was last seen clinging to the drift boat taking on water last Friday.
A sport fisherman found a life jacket confirmed as belonging to Rusk on Saturday, and the boat was retrieved by divers Sunday, according to the Clallam County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office called off the ground search late Saturday, and a river search by divers ended Sunday evening, said Ron Cameron, chief criminal deputy.
"The river is running very swift, very high and very cold," Cameron said earlier this week.
Rusk's fishing partner, Mark Roler, 54, of Vancouver, B.C., called 9-1-1 at about 5 p.m. last Friday to report that their unpowered drift boat was taking on water and being pushed down the swollen river.
The two men put the boat in at the Bogachiel Way boat launch, just above the Bogachiel River's confluence with the Calawah River.
Roler was able to swim to shore, but Rusk stayed with the boat and was taken downstream with the current while clinging to the life vest, sheriff's deputies were told.
The boat later was found submerged and capsized about 1½ miles downriver from the launch.
The search also included the Coast Guard and Clallam County search and rescue teams.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Competing in lacrosse, swimming and bowling in high school wasn't enough for Kathryn Smith.
Come fall, she would spend most Friday nights on the football sideline helping her father, Robert, track statistics for Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, New York.
Little did anyone envision some 15 years later that Smith's passion for sports would lead her to become the NFL's first full-time female assistant coach.
"That's just her nature that whatever she's doing, she's certainly going to jump in head first," Christian Brothers athletic director John Wleklinski said Thursday.
"She goes from being someone hard-working, doing the...

Him I Mean Me... Her I Mean You Part 1 And 2 - Poem by Musa Ndhlovu
I have been hurt
Once and i cried
Myself out.
She has been hurt
Once and she cried
Herself out.
We both know
How it feels to be
Heart broken.
It took me a
Long time to recover.
Yet she had no chance
To recover for I was
There to fix her broken heart.
She is afraid of the
Way things will turn
Out like the bignning
Which is what I... When
I mean I... I mean my
Self will try my best to
Show her that I can be the
Keper of her fragile heart.
I was afraid foronce
But it took courage
That is in me to stand
Up and fix my own heart
Andtry my level best
To give it to the one I love.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Rod Roberts sent out a press release last night saying that he would vote to remove three Supreme Court Justices. Below is the full press release.
Roberts to vote "No" on retaining three Iowa Supreme Court Justices
Republican gubernatorial candidate Rod Roberts has announced that he will vote to remove three members of the Iowa Supreme Court in their retention election next November. Roberts has consistently criticized the Iowa Supreme Court since the beginning of his exploratory campaign for governor in July, and he says he will continue to encourage those he meets in the coming months to vote in next year's retention election when it appears as part of the general election ballot.
"I want to be clear with Iowans in general and republicans in particular that when I go to the polls next November as a citizen, I will be voting to remove Chief Justice Ternus, Justice Streit, and Justice Baker," said Roberts, a five-term State Representative from Carroll. "Moreover, as I am campaigning during the coming months, I will be making sure Iowans know that they have the right to vote in the retention election next year."
Roberts notes that the Iowa Supreme Court's decision in Varnum v. Brien – in which the court struck down the state's law restricting marriage to one man and one woman – is one of the primary reasons why he opposes retaining the justices who are up for retention next year.
"The Iowa Supreme Court is unanimously opposed to the traditional definition of marriage while an overwhelmingly majority of Iowans want to vote on the issue. Clearly, something has to give, and I am siding with the people of Iowa on how marriage is defined in this state," said Roberts, an Assistant Minority Leader in the Iowa House of Representatives.
Varnum is not the only reason why Roberts opposes retaining the three members of the Iowa Supreme Court, however. Roberts notes that in the Iowa Supreme Court's 2002 decision of Racing Association of Central Iowa v. Fitzgerald, the court struck down a gambling tax law that had been passed by the legislature. The United States Supreme Court overturned the Iowa Supreme Court's decision and unanimously voted to uphold the law in 2003, but when the case returned to the Iowa Supreme Court in 2004, it rejected the United State Supreme Court's decision and struck down the law for a second time. Roberts says that Varnum and Racing Association of Central Iowa are unacceptable forms of judicial activism.
"We need to send a message to the Iowa Supreme Court that they are accountable to the people of Iowa," said Roberts, who has made restoring the role of the people in state government a centerpiece of his campaign. "The problem with judicial activism is that it thwarts the will of the legislature and of the people of Iowa. Next November, it is our duty as voters to let these justices know what we think of their judicial activism."
As a candidate for governor, Roberts is comfortable both with publicly indicating how he will vote in next year's retention election and with actively encouraging Iowans to exercise their right to vote in the election. Roberts points out that the very purpose of a retention election is to retain or remove justices based upon their performance. Racing Association of Central Iowa and Varnum are examples of extreme judicial activism, which is grossly deficient performance according to Roberts.
"Retention elections give the people of Iowa a voice in who will be members of their state supreme court. A retention election is democracy's imprint on a branch of government that is otherwise insulated from public opinion," said Roberts. "Next November, Iowans will have a chance to exercise their right to shape the Iowa Supreme Court. I will be voting not to retain the three members of the Iowa Supreme Court who will be up for retention, and I encourage others to exercise their right to vote on retention, too."

When office politics, annoying coworkers and rude customers are getting on your nerves, there are healthy and not-so-healthy ways to react. Experts offer seven tips on how to roll with the punches (without throwing any!) when stress at work threatens your mental health.
1. Stay Calm
The average person faces around 30 frustrations (or minicrises) every day, and a high proportion of those frustrations occur at work, says St. Paul-based licensed psychologist Anna Maravelas, founder of Thera Rising, a conflict resolution and organizational development consultancy, and author of How to Reduce Workplace Conflict and Stress. But overreacting to a faulty copy machine or an insulting colleague by going into high-drama mode and losing your temper will end up hurting far more than it helps. The cortisone, adrenaline and other chemicals released when you have a temper tantrum will linger for at least two hours after your outburst, Maravelas says. "You don't want to bring all that toxic energy home with you," she says.
2. Have Some Empathy
Remember, those 30 daily frustrations aren't just happening to you, but to every person you encounter during your workday, from the rude customer (who isn't always right, by the way) to your flighty boss. "People are worried about their kids, mortgage, job loss and health insurance," Maravelas says. With so many stressors in the world today, she suggests cutting people some slack and assuming there's a reason they're not behaving perfectly. "Be hard on the problem, but soft on the people," she says. "That creates positive reciprocity. They'll remember how you gave them the benefit of the doubt and will pay you back someday when you need it."
3. Tune Out
Another technique for managing stress is to simply limit your exposure to office drama. "Close your door if you have a door, or close your mind if you have a mind," says Simma Lieberman, an Albany, California-based organizational development consultant. "Unless you find it cathartic to get into arguments, when you feel tempted to get involved in office politics, plug in your iPod or music player, stick your headphones in you ears, and just act oblivious."
4. Perfect the Art of the Blow Off
Don't get sucked into conversations with irritating coworkers. If someone walks up to you to purposely get a rise out of you, Lieberman says, a good response is, "Wow, really. I've got to get back to work. See you later." If they're gossiping, say, "Wow, interesting, but I've got to go," or "Why are you saying that?" If they're just always in your face, trying to interact socially (like a grandma constantly showing photos of her grandkids or selling their cookies), walk away or -- better yet -- ask them to do a favor for you. "They'll run away," Lieberman says.
5. Break the Bad Mood Cycle
Good moods at work are contagious, but so are bad moods, says Long Island-based Debbie Mandel, author of Addicted to Stress and a radio host and stress-management expert. "You don't have to internalize a colleague's bad mood," she says. "Either physically move away to break the negative energy, or else get immersed in your work because negativity is contagious."
6. Look for Humor
Mandel is also a believer in humor as a stress reliever at work. "Don't take yourself and everyone else so seriously," she says. "Pretend it's a sitcom. If it happens to someone else on TV, we're laughing, but when it happens to us, we take everything so seriously." So have a little fun at work. People who make others laugh are "positive magnets who are the life of the party," Mandel says. Even something as simple as putting up a funny screen saver can lighten your mood and others' moods.
7. Close the Door at the End of the Day
Don't leave issues unresolved at the end of your workday. "If you've made a mistake or gotten into a hassle, take the time to apologize in a nonobsequious way," Lieberman says. "If you go home with stuff left unresolved, it's hard to feel sane." On your way home, visualize the door to your workplace closed, and start thinking about what you're looking forward to at home," Lieberman says. Then, start fresh the next morning. Mandel agrees. "Every day is a new chance to shine," she says. "The slate is clean. It's a new beginning, a fresh start."

Reporter stopped by TSA agent who didn't know District of Columbia is in US
It's something most students learn in elementary school -- the United States is made up of 50 states and the District of Columbia. But Cox Media Group reporter Justin Gray found out it's a lesson that an Orlando agent with the Transportation Safety Administration seems to have missed. Gray, who lives in Washington, D.C., was flying out of Orlando International Airport when a TSA agent said Gray's District of Columbia driver's license wasn't a valid form of identification. Gray said his license is legal and up-to-date, but the TSA agent didn't seem to know what the District of Columbia was when Gray arrived at the security checkpoint over the weekend. When Gray handed the man his driver's license the agent demanded to see Gray's passport. Grays told the agent he wasn't carrying his passport and asked why he needed it. The agent said he didn't recognize the license. Gray said he asked the agent if he knew what the District of Columbia is, and after a brief conversation Gray realized the man did not know...more

Rebels bikie raid2:30
Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana takes you behind the scenes of Rebel bikie raids across Melbourne connected with a murder probe and other anti-bikie operations.
A FIFTH man has been charged with murder over the alleged gang attack that killed Michael Sleiman on Australia Day following pre-dawn police raids on the Rebels bikie gang yesterday.
Bekim Muhtari, 29, of Hillside, last night faced an out of sessions court hearing after Homicide Squad detectives charged him with one count of murder.
Four other men — two of whom are Rebels bikie members — have already been charged over the death and will face court in November.
The latest charge came on the same day 13 people — including another five men linked to the Rebels outlaw bikie gang — were arrested in pre-dawn police raids.
The five Rebels arrested — a Caroline Springs teen, 17, a St Albans man, 21, an Albanvale man, 27, a Cairnlea man, 24, and a Deer Park man, 20 — were interviewed in relation to Mr Sleiman's death before they were released pending further investigation.
Mr Muhtari was remanded in custody and will face Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.
Three hundred heavily-armed police raided 20 properties across the state from 6am in a joint operation by the Echo Taskforce and Homicide Squad targeting Rebels members and associates believed to be linked to the murder, as well as the gang's other criminal activities.
They included seven clubhouses in Sunshine West, Dandenong South, North Geelong, Kilsyth, Sunbury, Travancore and Pakenham; and residential properties in St Albans, Deer Park, Albanvale, Hillside, Cairnlea, Whittington, Reservoir, Burnside Heights, Caroline Springs, Sandringham, Traralgon and Mount Cottrell.
Mr Sleiman died after a group of up to 15 people allegedly stormed a property in Billingham Rd and started a fight on January 26.
A Rebels bikie chief yesterday denied that club members had any involvement in Mr Sleiman's killing.
The head of the Rebels Geelong chapter — known only as "Jonesy" — made a public promise to provide detectives with their own key to the North Geelong clubhouse.
"If they want a key I'll give them one. I'll issue them one and they can come and go at any time," said Jonesy, who members call "the boss".
"I've got nothing to hide in the Geelong clubhouse at all.
"I said to them 'if you want to go out to my place (his home) it's no worries,' I would give them (police) a key to that too."
He claims this morning's pre-dawn raids were a media stunt by police wanting to further tarnish the reputations of bikie gangs.
Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana said police knew a "number of other people" were involved in Mr Sleiman's death and the investigation was ongoing.
Mr Fontana said some of the properties raided this morning, including a clubhouse off Fairbairn St in Sunshine, were heavily fortified but police only had to force their way into one address.
He said officers faced some resistance from members at a clubhouse believed to be in Caroline Springs, but no one had been injured in the raids.
Echo Task Force detectives together with Homicide Squad investigators, Crime Command, AFP, National Anti-Gangs Task Force, Australian Customs and Border Protection, specialist units and local police were involved in the raids.
The eight others arrested in the raids included a 22-year-old charged with attempted theft from motor vehicle and criminal damage.
He has been bailed by police to appear at Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court on September 26.
Also arrested were:
— A MT Cottrell man, 46, who was also remanded for breaching his parole;
— A NORTH Geelong man, 50, who has been bailed by police to appear at Geelong Magistrates' Court on September 4 for failing to appear at court;
— A 20-YEAR-OLD St Albans man, who was released and is expected to be charged on summons with possessing a drug of dependence;
— A 24-YEAR-OLD man cautioned in relation to drugs;
— A WOMAN, 39, released without charge; and
— TWO other men aged 54 and 51 from Mount Cottrell, who remain in custody.
Police say drugs including unidentified white powder, vials believed to be steroids, ammunition, a firearm, other banned weapons and a number of vehicles including a caravan and motorbike were seized in the statewide raids this morning.
Mr Fontana said the raids were also "looking at other criminal activity" the Rebels might be involved in.
Drugs including steroids, cannabis, unidentified white powder, firearms and a vehicle that was believed to have been stolen had been seized in the raids, he said.
"The purpose of today was to track down four (suspects) in particular that we've currently got in custody," Mr Fontana said yesterday.
"In relation to this particular death, it wasn't bikie on bikie.
"This was an act of a group of bikies that targeted another person who wasn't associated with outlaw motorcycle gangs, and we're not going to stand back and tolerate this intimidation, threats and violent activity by these type of criminal organisations.
"Over the past 12 months, Victoria Police has charged 288 members of outlaw motorcycle gangs with over 1293 criminal offences.
"We continue to ramp up our resourcing and target these criminal organisations."
Kate, who works near the Rebels clubhouse in Sunshine, said she was shocked to arrive at work about 7.30am to find police outside.
The 25-year-old, whose surname the Herald Sun agreed not to report, said she had worked there for four and a half years without knowing the bikie gang had a base there.
"It's a bit unsettling," she said.
"I never knew. I've never seen them."
Mr Fontana said police in Queensland and Tasmania had also conducted a number of operations relating to the Rebels over the past few days.
He urged anyone with information about OMCG gangs and their activities to call Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000.

WHAT DRIVES THESE ARAB KAMIKAZIS to wrap their young bodies with high explosives, disguise themselves as Israelis, and become delivery systems of death – certainly their own and sometimes dozens of others' – on the streets of Netanya, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and perhaps soon a town or city where you live?
All have been suckled since infancy on a toxic concoction of Arab nationalist and virulent anti-Semitic propaganda. Most come from a culture of despair, kept powerless, poor, and in refugee limbo by unelected oil rulers and their own leaders' Arafat-headed unwillingness to reach a compromise for peace as Irish nationalist leaders successfully did almost a century ago.
And most of these suicide bombers reportedly find it appealing that by dying as Shahid, "martyrs," they are promised a place of honor in the memory of their families and community and a payment to their loved ones of $10,000-$15,000 from radicals and the Palestinian Authority. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein just increased his promised payments to Palestinian suicide bomber families to $25,000. In the West we give half our lives working for a pension or Social Security check. Giving their entire life in one instant of martyrdom, young Palestinians are told, is their chance to provide benefits for their families.
But for many young men, the decisive factor in becoming suicidal mass murderers comes from their Muslim faith – and the very special heaven to which martyrdom, they believe, is a guaranteed one-way First Class ticket.
Islamic heaven, according to the Koran, the sayings of the Prophet Mohammed (the Hadith) and Muslim sages is not a place where the blessed sit around in white gowns on fluffy clouds plucking on harps for eternity.
Muslim heaven is instead a Disneyland of sensuality or, as one critic describes it, "The X-rated Paradise of Islam." Unlike Earth, in this heaven "sin" no longer exists. Virtually any sensual pleasure desired by those blessed enough to gain admittance is permitted and provided.
We have heard vaguely of "the 72 virgins," Houris, promised as wives (in addition to his wives from Earth) to each Muslim man in Paradise. This, in the sayings of the Prophet, is "the smallest reward" someone in Paradise can expect. (The Tafsir of Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72; Book of Sunan, Vol. IV, Chapter 21, Hadith 2687).
These black-eyed beauties will be true virgins, unviolated "by man or jinn" (genie). And, miraculously, each of the millions of times the man in Paradise has sex with them they will be again virgin. They will remain eternally youthful and fresh.
Moreover – and here young and sensitive readers are warned to stop reading – as Ibn Warraq of The Guardian quotes the renowned Koranic commentator Al-Suyuti (who died in A.D. 1505), in Paradise "the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world, and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e., Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."
As one 16-year-old Hamas youth leader in a Gaza refugee camp told USA Today last June, "I know my life is poor compared to Europe or America, but I have something awaiting me that makes all my suffering worthwhile…Most boys can't stop thinking about the virgins."
And for variety, Islamic Paradise offers more than endless heterosexual pleasure. The martyrs there will also spend eternity serviced by handsome "boys of perpetual freshness: if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls" (Koran 76:19) or "young boys…as fair as virgin pearls" (Koran 52:24). Even on Earth, Allah readily forgives men who repent after engaging in homosexual acts (Koran 4:21).
From a dusty, poor refugee camp in Gaza, the suicide bomber as he explodes will instantly be transported to this Paradise. This is why many Palestinian bombers behave as grooms preparing for their wedding to "the dark-eyed ones," and why one young bomber was found to have wrapped his genitals to keep them intact for the exotic heavenly thrills and pleasures awaiting him.
This materialistic heaven is filled with gold, pearls, silk, "fine carpets," and "jeweled couches." (Koran 22:23; 55: 70-77; 56:7-40) The gardens of Islamic Paradise flow with rivers of water, milk, honey, and wine (Koran 47:15). The alcohol forbidden to Muslims on Earth can be guzzled in heaven, because this heavenly wine does not cloud the mind (Koran 37:40-48).
This vision of a Playboy-mansion Paradise is hypnotic enough to intoxicate adolescent males and move the blood from their brains to nether regions. No other mind-altering, judgment-impairing drug is necessary.
But why in recent weeks have two young women become suicide bombers? The male-oriented Islamic Paradise offers them no harem of handsome young stud-muffins or everlasting orgasms. At most, a woman who on Earth had several husbands is allowed to live eternally with her chosen favorite. And presumably a female holy martyr, like a male Shahid, is allowed to bring 70 friends and loved ones into Paradise.
But because the Prophet declared that the "majority of those who entered the fire of Hell were women" (Sahib Muslim Hadith, Chapter 1140), getting a ticket even to a male Paradise would seem preferable. In any event, this is the only Paradise that Believers in the Koran have.

Candice Dupree: A Leader Beyond the Numbers
From the outside looking in, Candice seems really quiet and soft spoken, but shes actually a fireball, said four-year WNBA veteran and first-year Sky player Shyra Ely. Shes pretty much been our cornerstone all year. Shes done a great job stepping up and being our go-to player. Shes been vocal too. Its not something thats all the time, but when something needs to be said Candice will say it.
Stepping up as a vocal leader within the team is something Dupree and Sky General Manager and Head Coach Steven Key talked about headed into this season.
Duprees leadership growth has shown up in the box scores, in the locker room and in the standings as the season comes down to crunch time. With the playoffs approaching quickly, Duprees numbers have all risen over the past four weeks to help the Sky have a toe-hold on the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and the rest of the Sky players know who to go to if they need anything.
When I first got here she talked to me and made me feel comfortable, said Tamera Young, a second-year WNBA player whom the Sky acquired via a mid-season trade with the Atlanta Dream. On the court Candice talks and tells us what we need to know. She doesnt get in your face and yell at you, she helps you build your confidence.
Dupree and the rest of the Sky have good reason to be confident. Theyre in a position to make the playoffs for the first time in the franchises four-year history.
Keeping the Sky focused is another area in which Dupree has stepped up. The main focus for Dupree and the Sky has been on achieving the goal they set out to in training camp making the playoffs. Everybody needs to be on the same page, so I try to make sure everybody is, said Dupree.
Getting caught up in the playoff race has helped motivate Dupree to take her game, her focus and her leadership to another level. Now were fighting for a playoff spot. I try to make sure I do my part every game. Its exciting to be in this position and every one of us has a responsibility to do what we can to make sure that the team achieves the goal that we set out to achieve at the beginning of the season.
Itd be great of the Sky to make the playoffs. For us to be able to do something like that in four years would be great. The fact that were so close is whats driving me. Mentally I tell myself I have to play well every single game and do my part to help this team make it.
To say Candice is competitive would be an understatement. She does what her team needs to win. On nights where her shots arent falling, she crashes the boards and plays furious defense. When her shots do fall, it doesnt matter how many she makes as long as the Sky comes out ahead.
Dupree along with a teammate or two spend extra time before and after practice taking extra shots on a regular basis. Shes developed the work ethic and character the Sky has embodied thus far to get into the playoffs.
And when the Sky doesnt come out ahead, nobody takes it harder than Dupree. I hate losing, Candice said emphatically. I could have a 30 point game but if we still lose Im angry afterwards. My moms the person Ill call to vent. Im usually in a bad mood after a loss and everybody around me knows it.
With two games left to determine if the Sky get in for the first time or not, lets hope Momma Dupree doesnt get any frustrated calls from Candice for a while. The only talking Dupree should have to do is with her teammates, to help make sure theyre all thinking the same thing - PLAYOFFS.

My guess, 90+% of Democrats vote for it. 0% of Republicans vote for it.
vote for it. This is the same mess that happened with Social Security; a present anchor on our economy and ticking timebomb on it's best days.
Social Security was something that Republicans were steadfastly against but got it shoved down their throats. In time, it grew and grew and suddenly the parties started trying to pass laws to make Social Security better rather than doing what they should've done to begin with and recognized the wrong-headedness of the concept.
You're absolutely right - Republicans (conservatives, really) have absolutely no interest whatsoever in making Obamacare better. We flat want it
. I've seen this movie before and all it leads to is a larger and larger problem that snowballs until both parties realize that there's not a damn thing any of us can actually do to solve it.
Before this can become an argument over which party can simply minimize the damage of this disastrous piece of crap, we should simply kill it with fire. I have no interest in watching Rs and Ds argue over how they can best implement a program that should have never existed in the first place.
But you know that. So do the legitimately savvy politically operatives that were crying for people to "pass it so we can find out what's in it". They knew the moment this law passed, no matter what was in it, the conversation would shift away from keeping another socialist power grab off the books to which which party could 'best' utilize said socialist power grab.
I'm not interested in improving it. I want it gone altogether. This isn't the purview of the federal government.

I'm Starting To Think James Franco's Grandma Is His Greatest Asset
The show gave Grandma Mitzy a microphone, which was a good idea, as everything she says sounds simultaneously adorable, tough and old timey, even when it doesn't make sense. (Now you know where he gets it from.) They call her "Mitz the Vitz," she noted, because "Vitz means son of a Vitz." Okay!
According to Franco, his grandma was supposed to be in Oz, but she was a little too tall to be a munchkin so she might get edited out. And, as it turns out, she's been in a lot of his projects: a Robert Altman film (The Company?), as well as a film in which she played the matron of a crack den with one line, which she nailed: "ya owe me money, Bob."
Franco moved on to talk about other grandma approved subjects like the classes he teaches and his Berlin art show called "Gaytown." But I am now convinced: the reason he puts Mitz the Vitz in his movies is because everything is just better when she's around. Whether she is shaming people into seeing 120 Hours or simply being all cute and bad ass, James Franco's grandma improves his general appeal by a factor of ten with her awesomeness. And she knows it.

Snoqualmie is known for its natural beauty, its most famous asset being the 270-foot Snoqualmie Falls that draws 1.5 million visitors a year from around the world.
But after tourists stop to snap photos of the misty cascades, most simply get in their cars and leave.
Candidates for the City Council say it's imperative to capture this incoming traffic so future visitors won't head elsewhere to spend their dollars.

Revitalizing an aging downtown with shops, cafes and restaurants and boosting the city's commercial tax base are among the highest-priority issues in the Nov. 8 race. The city faces a $2 million budget shortfall by 2010, when it will stop collecting one-time revenue from the development of Snoqualmie Ridge. Also at issue is whether it makes fiscal sense for Snoqualmie to keep its own police department or contract the services out to King County.

Robert Jeans had never given a thought to public service until a pickup truck struck and killed his 7-year-old grandson, Tanner, last year.
The family started the Tanner Jeans Memorial Foundation and Jeans began working with the Snoqualmie Police Department to organize events in the boy's honor. He grew more interested in city government after that and began to attend council meetings.
He says he's committed to revamping downtown and wants to have more public discussion of what type of businesses and industries the city should recruit. "Whether it's high-tech or light industry, it's a wonderful rural setting here and some businesses will covet that."
Attracting more retail and other economic anchors is the best way to generate much-needed funds when the city's one-time revenues dry up in five years, he said.
"We need to find a way to get people to stay here," he said, referring to the Snoqualmie Falls tourists.
Jeans, a settlement broker who handles dispute resolutions, says he's in favor of keeping Snoqualmie's police and fire services local. "There is nothing more vital than for our citizens to feel safe and secure knowing that our local public-safety professionals are immediately available to us in an emergency," he said.
Jeans also favors building a community center — Ridge developers set property aside for one near Center and Ridge avenues — and said he would be open to partnering with other entities to help share building and maintenance costs.
His opponent, Tony Yanez, is a former city councilman who served from 1995-96 when the city drafted its comprehensive plan. Yanez said he wants to be on the council again to "get growth back to a manageable level."
The city's population jumped from 1,631 in 2000 to an estimated 6,345 in 2005, making Snoqualmie the fastest-growing city in King County, according to figures released this year from the state Office of Financial Management. The growth was at the Ridge, a master-planned community built under a "live, work, play" concept, where about 75 percent of the city now lives. More homes are on the way.
"We grew too fast; that's why we're having so many problems," he said.
Yanez said revenue has not kept pace with expenses, citing rising personnel costs, an unbalanced tax base and a slow economy. If elected, he wants to keep the city's police force and cut costs in other places.
His suggestions for "belt-tightening" include improving technology to reduce future staffing needs; consolidating services, equipment and personnel costs within departments; and increasing use of volunteers.
Yanez said he wants to preserve Snoqualmie's small-town quality of life. "I'm not no-growth; that would be like putting your head in the sand. My policy is to manage it."
Position 3
Gil Tumey ran unsuccessfully for a council seat two years ago, but is giving it another shot because he wants to build "a strong and vibrant community."
Tumey is interested in a community/activity center at the Ridge site that would feature a workout room, meeting rooms and shops. While the idea of a swimming pool has been floated, it would cost too much to maintain, he said.
"This would be a community center that actually belongs to the community," he said. "It doesn't have to be the Taj Mahal in one day. It can grow over time."
Tumey, who works in information technology at Boeing, said there needs to be more discussion on what constitutes the vision of the city.
"The future of a city is a like a puzzle," he said. "Right now, there's no picture on that puzzle. The idea is to define it and once it's defined, it's like doing a master plan for your landscaping."
Bryan Holloway is a political newcomer who decided to run to help find solutions to the city's looming financial trouble.
"We really need to look at containing costs in the city and be aggressive with economic development," he said.
Holloway said he would explore how attractions such as Snoqualmie Falls, the Northwest Railway Museum, Salish Lodge, the historic downtown and retail stores on the Ridge can complement and augment one another.
He also wants to bring more government transparency to citizens "so there is a free flow of data back and forth."
He suggests creating a monthly status report on the expenses of key city departments and projects.
Holloway is a project manager for the Phantom Works research-and-development unit of Boeing, where he works on electronics and electrical-systems designs.

Two teams seeming headed in opposite directions after last weekend's matches play in yet another six-point match in the Western Conference. The Los Angeles Galaxy handed Steve Sampson his first victory as a professional club coach, their first victory in two months in an outstanding performance against San Jose. But the Dallas Burn lost for the second consecutive week, falling 3-0 at D.C. United, and now need any points they can take to maintain contact with the rest of the conference and hang on to their hopes of a postseason place.

United at RFK Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Burn remained in last place in the Western Conference with 32 points from 25 matches, but are still just two points out of a playoff place, behind the fourth-place San Jose Earthquakes.
The Los Angeles Galaxy won for the first time in eight matches (since July 10), another hard-fought California Clasico giving Steve Sampson his first victory as a professional club coach in a 2-1 victory against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Galaxy came out of the match tied for second place in the Western Conference with 38 points from 25 matches, level with the Kansas City Wizards one behind the Colorado Rapids.

Newton's papers on show
An insight into the mind of one of Britain's most famous scientists is being offered to the public, as the manuscripts of Sir Isaac Newton are brought together for the first time in centuries.
The documents detail Newton's feuds with other scientists and his early years as a scientist. His death mask from King's College library is also on display.
Footprints of the Lion: Isaac Newton at Work will be displayed from Tuesday, after the library raised �6.37m to buy the Macclesfield collection of the scientist's papers.
Papers kept together
The library has been in possession of the Portsmouth collection - the principal archive of Newton's scientific work - since 1872, when it was presented to the university by the fifth Earl of Portsmouth.
But a �4.79m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a comprehensive fundraising campaign last year enabled the library to purchase the second most important scientific collection.
"We were afraid that if it had gone on the market, it would have been split up and sold to individual collectors around the world, because Newton is very collectable," Mr Fox explained.
"And that would be the end of it as far as scholars are concerned." The library was delighted to reunite the papers and keep them in this country, Mr Fox said.
"For the first time for several hundreds of years we are able to put together a more comprehensive picture of this man who shaped the world we live in today," he said.
"The collection shows Isaac Newton's creativity in letters and manuscripts on celestial mechanics and gravitation, his method of fluxions (the calculus), optics and chemistry.
'Complex story'
"Newton's manuscripts and books, some of which are from his own library, tell an even more complex story of this genius that is quite different from that of the alchemist and heretic, who had, for much of his life, lived a private life and deliberately avoided publicity of any kind," he said.
Born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, in 1642, Newton first arrived in Cambridge as an undergraduate at Trinity at the age of 19.
He was appointed a fellow of the college in 1667, and in 1669 was elected Lucasian Professor - the chair now occupied by Professor Stephen Hawking.
He died in 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
The Newton archives are on show to the public free of charge from 9 October to 23 March (closed over the Christmas week) at Cambridge University Library's Exhibition Centre.

Vandalized buses in Braxton County are on pace to be ready for the start of school.
A majority of windshields have been fixed, but they are still working on the side windows. The repairs are on schedule and they hope to have all buses repaired by Aug. 19 when school starts.
If repairs are not finished, Nicholas and Webster counties have offered to help out.
In June, more than 30 buses were vandalized. The damage was estimated at about $100,000.
West Virginia State Police are investigating. Troopers said two juveniles confessed to the crime. They were questioned, then released to their parents. Both are facing multiple charges including felony destruction of property, conspiracy and attempting to commit a felony.

- Written by Carole Nash Editor
- Created: 16 September 2013
Photo: At Donington with the Carole Nash comp winners!
Since my last 'insidebikes' Blog I've had a pretty busy time both on-and-off the track with the first half of the World Superbike season complete; a summer break and now back on the road again to compete in the last five races.
We've had a pretty challenging year to date with lots of 'what-ifs' on the CBR1000 as we've been battling to get the electronics up-to-speed to run at the front. The last few races we have been more consistent but still a win seemed like a little bit down the road. I have won a race every year since starting the World Superbike so I was so eager to get this first win and fortunately for me at Silverstone it went to plan. This meant so much to me and the team as we'd been working so hard this year and it finally paid off. The weather played into our a hands a bit but I was able to control the race from the front and it felt so good to cross the line in P1. The first race win for the year and the 11th race win of my career.
Straight after the Silverstone race weekend was a four week summer break however before I jet-set home to the Isle of Man I had a day at Donington Park at the Ron Haslam race school with the Carole Nash squad. It was a great day riding alongside the guys and girls from Carole Nash and I really enjoyed being able to help out so hopefully a few people walked away with a bit more insight and knowledge with their riding skills.
Over the August break I managed to do a lot of what I love doing the most – MX riding. It's great to get out in the countryside with some mates and have fun blasting around some fields. Reminds me of the great times I had as a kid when I first starting riding back in Northern Ireland on my mates farm. One of the things I love about the Isle of Man is that this is all on my doorstep. I can also go trials riding direct from my front door as well as cycle out in the Isle of Man hills so there's no option for me to be sat around.
During August I also took part in a two-day Red Bull athlete training session in Manchester which was a great way to sustain my core fitness during the race-season break. Having a few weeks at home just living a 'normal' life is something which I really cherish. It's great travelling around the World for your job but I really appreciate spending time at home with my wife, my friends and family. Especially seeing that the next two-months we have the busiest end of season to date with the last five races packed in to seven weeks.
It's hard to believe that it's September already and by the time this Blog is released I may just be a first time Dad. Our baby Rea is due mid-September so Tatia and I are really excited about this time.
Hopefully the last few races we can maintain our consistent pace and complete the season with a handful of decent results. We have three new tracks on the calendar coming up; Turkey, Laguna Seca and the last race of the year in Jerez. I've had quite a few good results in Mangy Cours and Nurburgring so fingers crossed we can end the season on a high.
Until next time,
Cheers JR

Restaurant business owners have many things to consider when it comes to running their establishment. Often, once a location is leased or purchased many business owners miss a very important detail for their restaurant and that is the interior design of the restaurant, especially when they wish to use black tablecloths as these lower brightness of the space interior, but the great advantage of using black tablecloths is that they will blend well with other colors that are not black, for example you could use black tablecloths and white napkins, or black tablecloths and pink napkins.
Some people believe that the only important thing about a restaurant is the way it looks. That isn't true, however, especially with a newer restaurant where the quality of the food hasn't been tested yet. Many people will walk into a restaurant and if it isn't at least a little attractive, they will walk right out again.
So, what should you be thinking about with restaurant interior design? There are several things that you need to consider. The first thing that you need to consider is whether or not your food is themed. What this means is, if you have an Italian restaurant, then you might want to consider using Italian national colors or simple Italian design. If you are doing home style cooking, then making the restaurant feel cozy, like home, may be the way for you to go. You don't have to make it look cheesy; you simply want to make it look inviting.
The worse thing for diners is sitting down in a restaurant with tables and chairs that looks like they were purchased at
the local flea mart. The restaurant interior design should include methods for making your clients feel comfortable and sitting in a comfortable chair and black tablecloths an excellent way to achieve that goal. You don't have to spend a lot of money to do this, you can create an eclectic look by purchasing tables from second hand stores if your budget is small.
A quality collection of black tablecloths can be used for much more interesting things than draping over a table or other food stand. By utilizing quality fabric for the situation, the buffet space becomes an enhancement to the interior decor.
Follow these tips for using black tablecloths into your restaurant interior design. You may also consider the black tablecloth fabric that you use for your tables. You want to pick fabric that not only looks good, but is also of good quality. The truth is, you dont need to spend a lot of money for most standard restaurant polyester fabric.
However, it is a lot cheaper to buy from a wholesale company, especially an online store that sells the black tablecloth you want. You should pick stain-resistant fabrics that are easy to clean as there will be stains. A quality restaurant interior designer will consider all of these factors.

To day on the MPR News Update: Somali students say they don't feel safe at South High School in Minneapolis, legislators are getting their first look at the governor's proposed public school funding bill, educators are asking the Legislature to reconsider last year's law on teacher testing, and more.
SOMALI STUDENTS FEAR FOR SAFETY: Some Somali students say not enough is being done to ease racial tension at South High School in Minneapolis, which just last week was the site of a brawl involving hundreds of students. Minneapolis school district officials are still investigating the incident, which sent three students and a staff member to the hospital with minor injuries. District officials are also looking into the actions of school staff and police officers as part of the investigation.
SCHOOL SPENDING: State lawmakers have begun scrutinizing Gov. Mark Dayton's spending plan for public education, the first piece of his budget proposal to be introduced in bill form. It calls for more than $344 million proposed in new spending for public schools. In related news, a U.S. Education Department commission is recommending pre-kindergarten programs for every poor student across the country within 10 years.
TEACHER TESTING: Teachers and school administrators across Minnesota are asking lawmakers to rethink a law they passed last year that was aimed at producing higher-quality teachers. The law requires teacher candidates to pass theMinnesota Teacher Licensure Exam before they can get a teacher's license. The test includes reading, math and writing sections.
ELLISON IN SOMALIA: Minnesota U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison visited Somalia's once war-torn capital city of Mogadishu on Tuesday, the first visit in years by a member of Congress to what until recently was considered one of the world's most dangerous cities. "The United States just recognized the government after 22 years," Ellison told MPR this morning by phone. "The people feel like the future is bright."
MONEY FOR HOMELESS YOUTH: A coalition of community and faith-based groups is asking the state Legislature to help fight youth homelessness, backing a bill that would provide $8 million to help homeless youth across Minnesota. The measure passed the Early Childhood and Youth Development Policy Committee in the Minnesota on Tuesday, and a similar bill is pending in the Senate.
DRUGS AND FISH: Traces of chemicals in Minnesota lakes might be having a big effect on some fish populations. Monitoring of lakes and rivers across the state found traces of pharmaceuticals and estrogen in the water, and two new studies by Minnesota researchers show those chemicals can reduce fish survival.
FRACK SAND: The dispute over frac sand mining shifted from cities and towns in southeastern Minnesota to the hallways of the State Capitol Tuesday. Opponents of the new mining process packed a legislative hearing to urge Gov. Mark Dayton and state lawmakers to regulate the sand mining industry. But industry officials say such regulations will limit job growth and create unnecessary burdens on them.
OVERDOSING: Drug overdose deaths rose for the 11th straight year across the United States, federal data show, and most of them were accidents involving addictive painkillers despite growing attention to risks from these medicines. The news comes after we reported that in 2012, Minnesota prosecutors charged more dealers for murder in overdose cases than at any time in the last decade.
GAMBLING: The rollout of electronic bingo has been delayed again. It could be March before the games are ready for approval. They are part of the financing package for a new Vikings stadium. E-pull tab revenues have been falling short, and backers say bingo could help. But, gambling control board director Tom Barrett says suppliers aren't yet meeting regulatory requirements. Suppliers say the state's approval process has delayed the start of the games.
ORCHESTRAL MANEUVERS: If ever there was a day you needed a scorecard to follow the wrinkles of the Twin Cities two orchestral conflicts, Tuesday was that day. Early on came news that the American Federation of Musicians has filed an unfair labor practices complaint against the Saint Paul Chamber Society, the formal name given to SPCO management.
SATISFIED MINNEAPOLITANS: And finally today, a survey shows Minneapolis residents are not as satisfied with their police, parks, schools and snow plowing as residents of some other cities. One area of concern: snow plowing. The survey, conducted in the fall, found that 80 percent of Minneapolis residents were satisfied with how the city cleared its streets, but that the measure fell below a national benchmark.
