ABOVE PHOTO: Puppeteer Kevin Clash and Sesame Street's Elmo
(AP photo)
By Frazier Moore
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash has resigned from "Sesame Street" in the wake of an allegation that he had sex with an under-aged youth.
In its statement Tuesday, Sesame Workshop said "the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want," leading Clash to conclude "that he can no longer be effective in his job."
"This is a sad day for Sesame Street," the statement said.
As the announcement was made, a lawsuit was being filed in federal court in New York charging Clash with sexual abuse of a second youth. The lawsuit alleges that Cecil Singleton, then 15 and now an adult, was persuaded by Clash to meet for sexual encounters.
Clash, who had been on "Sesame Street" for 28 years, created the high-pitched voice and child-like persona for Elmo, a furry, red Muppet that became one of the most popular characters on the show and one of the company's most lucrative properties.
Clash's exit from Sesame Workshop followed a tumultuous week that began on Nov. 12 with a statement from the company that Clash had requested a leave of absence following the charge by a man in his early 20s that he had had a relationship with Clash when he was 16.
Clash denied the charge from that man, who has not been publicly identified, calling it "false and defamatory." Days later the man recanted his charge.
Earlier this week, gossip site TMZ reported that Clash agreed to pay his first accuser, Sheldon Stephens, $125,000 – with one string attached – that Stephens recant his story that Clash had sex with him when he was a minor.
Originally, Stephens alleged he was only 16 when Clash began a sexual affair with him. Clash has acknowledged an affair, but insists it started when Stephens — now 23 — was an adult.
Multiple sources told TMZ ... hours before Stephens recanted his underage sex allegation, a settlement was struck between the two parties. Under the terms of the settlement, Clash agreed to pay Stephens $125k. But the settlement then provides the following:
"Stephens agrees that immediately upon execution of this Agreement, his counsel, Andreozzi & Associates, P.C., shall release the [following] statement ... 'He [Stephens] wants it to be known that his sexual relationship with Mr. Clash was an adult consensual relationship.'"
The settlement document goes on to say if Stephens is asked by anyone about his relationship with Clash, he must only repeat the statement [above] in the settlement that recants his story.
TMZ learned although Stephens signed the document, he continues to insist Clash had sex with him when he was a minor and was pressured into signing the settlement.
One source privy to the negotiations told TMZ that Stephens was crying during final negotiations and repeatedly insisted he didn't want to sign.
Clash's lawyer was contacted for a response, but he had no comment.

SOURCE Prospect Mortgage
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Prospect Mortgage is pleased to have finally resolved several matters stemming from legacy operations raised by the New York Department of Financial Services ("DFS") during a May 2010 review that covered activities from the Company's acquisition, integration and operation of 4 mortgage platforms in 2007 and 2008.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090617/LA34214LOGO-b)
"We have worked cooperatively and proactively with the State to reach this agreement, which resolves legacy issues related to prior acquisitions," said Ron Bergum, Prospect's Chief Executive Officer. "Prospect is committed to excellence and integrity in every aspect of our business and we are constantly working to strengthen the quality of our processes and to raise the level of service we provide our customers."
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, which does not include any admission of wrongdoing by Prospect, Prospect will continue to enhance the substance and review of its training, compliance and vendor management programs within the State as well as remediate concerns regarding certain legacy activities, some of which the Company had already remediated prior to being made aware of by the State.
"Adapting to an ever-changing regulatory environment while remaining focused on improving customer service is critical to success within our industry," said Bergum. "While the current management and ownership was unaware of several of the pre-acquisition legacy issues that were raised by the DFS during these discussions, we have worked diligently with the State to address the State's concerns. This agreement is a positive step forward for our operations in the state of New York and our relationship with the DFS."

A new Boston Globe poll shows the race between Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren in a dead heat, with ample opportunity for both candidates to win the nation's most expensive Senate race eight days from now. The poll is a reversal from a September Globe survey that showed Warren ahead 43 percent to 38 percent, as well as several other recent polls that have found Warren with a slight lead. The shift underscores the belief long held by both sides that the race, active for more than a year, would be competitive until the end.

There are two types of songs I'd pay $3 for.
1) The type of song so universally loved that every guest in my house would bash me for not owning it. That 90% of XBox Live players will own at any price. Something like "Sweet Child of Mine" that is universally popular across sexes (note this is not even close to my personal GnR song and I would expect it on the actual game disc because it is so huge).
2) An essential genre title far enough out of the mainstream that it wouldn't attract a lot of buyers even at a low price point but is essential for genre fans. Like "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight" by the Rezillos (which is actually a cover so ineligible for RBN).
Basically it has to be something that will get played a ton, one way or the other. Which is why I will personally rule out a 10 minute magnum opus because odds are I'd only play it a few times and rarely at parties.

View a slideshow of species that pythons are preying upon. It might surprise you!
See a slideshow of invasive, non-native species that cause serious damage to Florida's natural lands.
Think you've seen a Burmese python or another invasive reptile? Call 1-888-IVE-GOT-1. One of 200 responders trained by The Nature Conservancy will be dispatched.
More than a dozen years ago, Burmese pythons found their way into the wilds of Florida. Once household pets, they had either escaped or were released, and today, after years of breeding, the mainland around Everglades National Park contains tens of thousands of the snakes… which often feast on rare and endangered species.
While pythons aren't known to attack people, they are voracious and indiscriminate eaters. See a slideshow of rare species that have been found in a python's stomach.
The first Keys python was discovered alive in 2007 when researchers checking on the status of a male Key Largo woodrat wearing a radio transmitter noticed it strangely had moved more than a mile from its original documented habitat.
The signal led the two researchers — a University of St. Andrews graduate student and a volunteer assistant studying federally endangered Key Largo woodrats — to a 7-1/2-foot Burmese python sunning itself.
The contents of the captured snake's stomach included not only the collared woodrat but another one as well.
To solve the issue, the Nature Conservancy in Florida launched Python Patrol in 2008. Citizens call in snake sightings (1-888-IVE-GOT-1) to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission call centers in South Florida and one of 200 responders trained by The Nature Conservancy are dispatched.
"We have 24-hour response by law enforcement in 10 counties, although anyone in Florida can leave a message," says Cheryl Millett, the Conservancy biologist who oversees the Python Patrol. These counties include: Monroe, Miami-Dade, Collier, Hendry, Broward, Palm Beach, Glades, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee.
The response force is being built throughout South Florida, with more Python Patrol workshops scheduled.
"Early-detection, rapid-response is the best way to stop them from spreading," says Millett.

Interesting fact: Burmese pythons often warm themselves on roads, so it makes sense their first spotters were FedEx and U.S. Postal Service drivers.
No, not your New Year's resolution.
Treadmilling is the technique used by a trained catcher: she or he drags his or her hands, one after the other, along the underbelly of the snake to make it think it's getting away. When the snake is tired, the capturer firmly grabs at the base of the head and avoids the writhing body getting wrapped around his or her legs. Snakes captured in the wild are securely bagged, boxed, tagged and dropped off to a designated recipient for research or training.
"We ask the responders to consider safety first and then work to tire out the snake before they capture it. Luckily these pythons tire very quickly," Millett says.
Remember: Always call a trained responder and NEVER try this at home.
Twenty five different bird species, including the endangered wood stork, have been found in the digestive tracts of pythons in Everglades National Park, according to a March 2010 study.
In January 2012, a severe decline in a variety of mammal populations in the Everglades over the last eight years was documented in a report released by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences called Severe Mammal Declines Coincide with Proliferation of Invasive Burmese Pythons in Everglades National Park. Researchers correlated pythons with the dramatic declines in mammal numbers and noted other potential causes, like disease, are unlikely since so many species showed decline.
To reach a full-grown length of about 13 feet, one python would need to eat nearly 200 pounds of food over five years. Some captured Florida snakes have grown as large as 17 feet.
The Conservancy has long called for a more preventative and proactive approach to address the threat of invasive species.
"Right now imported species are innocent until proven guilty," says Kris Serbesoff-King, the Conservancy's associate director of conservation. "As a nation, we need to focus on pre-importation screening – that is to say looking at what will likely be a small number of non-native imported wildlife that could go on to be harmful to the lands and waters we are working to protect."
The Conservancy has been working on the policy end since 2006, starting with support for the South Florida Water Management District's petition to list the Burmese python as a federal injurious species.
In 2010, the Florida Legislature adopted a Conservancy-backed measure prohibiting personal possession of seven large constrictors and one large monitor lizard, formerly designated "reptiles of concern." These eight reptiles, including the Burmese python, are now classified as conditional species; people who owned these reptiles before the law went into effect and followed state permitting, microchipping and caging requirements were allowed to keep the reptiles they already owned.
To help the Conservancy's efforts, click here to donate today.
At the federal level, the Conservancy has supported efforts by Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) to advance legislation banning the importation and interstate commerce of the Burmese python.
The U.S. enacted that ban January 17, 2012 on four snakes: the Burmese python, the yellow anaconda, and the northern and southern African python. This step — to include these species in the prohibitions of the federal Lacey Act used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to prevent and manage invasive species — is needed to reduce the number of pythons escaping from or being released into the wild by pet owners who don't understand the responsibility caring for a large python entails.
"Their native habitat compares well to the Gulf region of the southern United States," adds Serbesoff-King.
The Conservancy has strongly backed efforts to introduce a comprehensive approach that would proactively restrict trade in animals predicted to be highly invasive — before they become established.
The Conservancy supports federal legislation to institute a preventive approach – give the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service authority to assess risks associated with imported wildlife and prohibit the importation of species likely to be invasive in the United States.
Prevention is always the most cost effective and efficient approach to addressing invasive species," says Serbesoff-King. "It protects our native plants and animals and saves money by avoiding costly and difficult control efforts." It would alleviate the need for a petition-by-petition listing of injurious species — a process that takes an average of four years."

In a surprise move, Melissa Huckaby has pleaded guilty to killing Sandra Cantu. The case was set to go to trial in October. As a result, Huckaby will be spared the death penalty, and Sandra's family will be spared the agony of having to relive the events surrounding her murder.

»Calif. Cops Seek Missing Teen
The suitcase was discovered by farm workers at about 10 a.m. as they were draining the pond to water a field at a dairy farm on Bacchetti Road. Witnesses told police it was not there when they emptied the pond about two weeks prior.
Authorities made the announcement at a press conference later that evening. While no suspect has been named, the manhunt for Sandra's killer began soon after the conference ended as police began re-examining Sandra's neighborhood.
The suspicious container that police began investigating early April 6 is one of the major clues that cops are looking at to find Sandra's killer. Authorities say that they're also scouring the area for trace evidence and looking at a number of footprints and tire tracks.
Also on April 6, hundreds of people mourned just outside Sandra's mobile home park and built an impromptu memorial with balloons, stuffed animals, flowers, and notes.
On April 9, 2009, one of Sandra's neighbors, Barbara Sokoloski, told AMW's Michelle Sigona that "Sandra was such a sweet, trusting little girl."
"It's a nice mobile home park, I felt safe here, I've lived here five years. Sandra lived behind me on that street, the kids would play outside, that was not unusual.... We knew her very well", Sokoloski added.
Sokoloski says that she bought Sandra the 'Hello Kitty' shirt that she was wearing when she vanished. Sandra used to come over and do homework with Barbara's son's girlfriend who would often tutor her and another little girl. Barbara says investigators searched her home and every single mobile home at least 4 or 5 times, and they even checked their car trunks too.
"We do feel like it's somebody in here, I don't think she would have gone with a stranger. She seemed to know a lot of people. We were all just devastated, worried when she was missing, devastated when they found her", Sokoloski said. "I just hope they find the person right away, never had anything happen like this is Tracy, I've been here 30 years."

Sanctum 2 development underway, due next year
Joystiq reports Coffee Stain Studios is already at work on Sanctum 2, a sequel to its successful indie combining shooter and tower defence mechanics. The follow-up is expected in 2013, on PC, the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, thanks to a publishing deal with Reverb. If you haven't checked out the original Sanctum, which sold over 30,000 copies on Steam alone, it's on sale for $3.39, which when divided by the number of joyful hours it will bring you, is pretty much no money at all.

The Marquette Regional History Center held its last Saturday at the Center event until September
MARQUETTE -- "Spring is in the Air" at the Marquette Regional History Center. That's the name of May's Saturday at the Center event. Kids could make May baskets or help plant a sisters garden. The Marquette Folk Dancers performed several English folk dances for the crowd. At the end, they even invited everyone to learn a new dance with them.
"I was a little bit nervous to go dance with all of them because I am not the best dancer. I mix up my left and my right pretty regularly, but it was really fun. It wasn't a big deal when I messed up. It was just a fun experience with people I hadn't met before," said Paige Graham who danced with the folk dancers.
This is the last Saturday at the Center event until September.

I was trying to point out that some of the anti-Java comments in this thread are simply unreasonable and not true.
I never even implied "locking out people who want to use low level". That is unreasonable to accuse me of that.
Android does impose Java/Dalvik in some ways, but they definitely let you do a lot with the NDK and C/C++/Renderscript as well.
Google has clearly tried to accommodate different developer preferences. I understand they did not do so to your satisfaction, but I believe they actually give you much more choice than iOS, and they just can't please everyone.
That's usually touted as a C# benefit. Why would that cause problems? C++ can do stack allocation or heap allocation as well.

SKARDU, Pakistan — Pakistan's army chief says his country is ready for talks with India over resolving a dispute over a Himalayan glacier.
Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani's comments could signal a softening of the army's position toward a country with which Pakistan has fought three wars.
He says the dispute over the Siachen Glacier "should be resolved" and "how it is resolved the two countries have to talk about."
Kayani was speaking Wednesday in a rare question and answer session with the media after visiting the site of an avalanche near the glacier that has buried more than 125 Pakistani soldiers.

The American Revolution
5th Grade Oral Language Resources
Content Objectives
Students will:
• Learn about the concept of the American Revolution.• Access prior knowledge and build background about the American government.
• Explore and apply the concept of political revolution and its implications.
Language Objectives
Students will:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the concept of the American Revolution.• Orally use words that describe the government and political unrest.
• Extend oral vocabulary by speaking about the Revolutionary War.
• Use key concept words [Great Britain, colonist, George Washington, soldier, government, dissent, revolution, restriction, war].
• Use the slideshow to review the key concept words.• Explain that students are going to learn about The American Revolution:
• The relationship between the American colonists and the British.
• The causes of a revolution.
• The Revolutionary War.
• The historical importance of George Washington.
• After the host introduces the slideshow, point to the photo on screen. Ask students: What is shown in this photo? (The White House). What happens in the White House? (The American government is managed by the President and Vice President, etc.)• Ask students: America has not always been ruled by the politicians we vote into the White House. The American colonies were originally ruled by the king of Great Britain. What did they disagree about? (Taxes and other restrictions on the colonists).
• Say: The American colonists had to fight for their independence from the British. How did they earn their independence? (The colonists revolted against the British and defeated them in the Revolutionary War).
Guided Practice
• Guide students through the next two slides, showing them that sometimes revolutions occur to bring in new governments. Always have the students describe what the colonists found to be unfair and what the British would have argued against them.Apply
• Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature.• After the first game, ask students to talk about what George Washington accomplished in his life. After the second game, have them discuss what the American soldiers needed to win the Revolutionary War.
• Ask students: What did the American colonists find to be unfair about the British rulers? Were their opinions justified? Explain why the Americans had to fight the Revolutionary War to win independence for America.• Summarize for students that on July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed, bringing an end to British rule of America, and the birth of The United States. This day is known as America's birthday and is celebrated with tons of fireworks, barbeques, picnics, and red, white, and blue clothing. Encourage them to think about how they celebrate the Fourth of July.

I'm pretty big into DIY lately (Pinterest anyone?!) and a few weeks ago one of my science teachers asked me about document cameras. Immediately I thought: iPad. I knew I had read a blog post somewhere about turning an iPad into a document camera, so I immediately began Google-ing. By the time I got home on Friday I had my list written out for Home Depot and had already roped my dad into agreeing to help me. Here we go:
I used this video to started:
It shows 2 different iPad Document Camera stands…I decided to make them both.
Here is my drawing…I am no artist, but I needed a plan to follow:
My dad cut the grooves in the PVC pipe because he was afraid I would cut my fingers off!
After we got started making the different parts we were like an iPad stand making assembly line.
Here is the iPad stand in action. The base of this one is super sturdy and the iPad fits in there perfectly.
View from below.
This is the "cheaper" stand. It takes up more room on a desk, but it works pretty well.
Another view from below.
I brought the iPad stands in on Monday and gave one to the science teacher and one to my iPad pilot teacher and they were super excited.
While we are talking about document cameras, we are also trying out these babies:
This is the Point2View ($69.00)
And this one is the Ziggi ($89.00)from iPevo. These are inexpensive, USB document cameras that we are considering buying for teachers next year. I have always used ELMO doc cams, but they run between $400-$800 each! Yikes. We bought one of each and we are having teachers try them out to see which one we like better.
Ok, enough document camera for tonight. Anyone else have a doc cam they love? Or have you made your own? Please share!

Residents of Pinetop, Ariz., who voted for Barack Obama in this year's election, don't bother going to Southwest Shooting Authority for all your firearm needs. You're not welcome there. Owner Cope Reynolds has taken out a full-page ad in the White Mountain Independent telling Obama voters that their business is "not welcome" in his store. The ad reads: "If you voted for Obama, your money is no good here. You have proven beyond a doubt that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm." So touchy. We think Reynolds should take a cue from his first name and learn to … cope. [Source]

From VipsWiki
What is it?
VIPS is a free image processing system. It is good with large images (images larger than the amount of RAM you have available), with many CPUs (see Benchmarks for examples of SMP scaling, VIPS is also part of the PARSEC suite), for working with colour, for scientific analysis and for general research & development. As well as JPEG, TIFF and PNG images, it also supports scientific formats like FITS, Matlab, Analyze, PFM, Radiance and OpenSlide.
Compared to most image processing libraries, VIPS needs little memory and runs quickly, especially on machines with more than one CPU. See the Speed and Memory Use page for a simple benchmark against other similar systems. We have a How it works page with a brief technical explanation of how VIPS calculates pixels.
It comes in two main parts: libvips is the image-processing library and nip2 is the graphical user-interface. The libvips and nip2 pages have bullet-point overviews of their features. libvips can be used from C, C++, the command-line, Python, Ruby, JavaScript and others. The GUI aims to be about half-way between Photoshop and Excel. It is very bad at retouching photographs, but very handy for the many other imaging tasks that programs like Photoshop are used for. Both work on Linux/Unix (with convenient packages for most popular distributions, see links), Windows 7 and MacOS (OS 10.2 and later).
The VIPS library has recently been adopted by Wikipedia for image resizing --- see the NEWS on VipsScaler. Booking.com also use vips for processing hotel images.
libvips is licensed under the LGPL and nip2 is licensed under the GPL. See http://www.gnu.org.
- Supported
- Download and install the current supported version for Windows, OS X or as source code. Most Unix systems have vips available through their package manager. Fink, Macports and Homebrew all have versions. See What's New in 7.36 for an introduction to this version.
- Development
- Read about and download the sources for the current development version.
VIPS aims for a six-month development cycle. See the Development pages for notes on how to work on the code yourself.
Here are some quick guides to introduce nip2, the VIPS GUI. These guides are part of the nip2 manual: click Help / Contents (or press F1) to view the guide while using the program.

Nevada Firms Ordered to Stop Selling Unregistered Investments in Oil and Gas Leases
Secretary of State's Office Wants to Hear from Nevadans Who May Have Invested
Posted Date:
Contact: Pam duPré
(775) 684-5748
(Carson City, NV; May 12, 2010) – Saying they pose an immediate danger to the public welfare, Secretary of State Ross Miller's Securities Administrator this week issued a Cease and Desist Order against several Nevada firms and their sales representatives for selling unregistered securities and operating without the proper licenses.
Nevada Securities Administrator Carolyn Ellsworth says Energy Ventures, LLC, Upstream Ventures, Emergent Value Group, Energy Venture Fund, and Upstream Ventures, LLC, all with Las Vegas addresses, and Upstream Ventures, LLC of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and their representatives James Everett Franklin, II, and Phillip J. Shaheen, Jr., both of Las Vegas, used text messages and emails to offer securities in the form of partnership interests or investment contracts in oil and gas leases. The Cease and Desist Order was issued when investigators determined that the securities being offered were not properly registered and the sales agents were not properly licensed as required by state law. In addition, two of the firms do not have current company formation documents on file with the Secretary of State's Commercial Recordings Division.
"This is another example of how individual investors can easily protect themselves by doing some simple checking before they invest," Secretary Miller said. "It takes just a few minutes for people who are pondering an investment to call my office to make sure the security and the people offering them are properly registered and licensed. That should be the first step individuals take to determine if a particular offering is the right investment for them."
Securities investigators say Franklin and Sheehan sent unsolicited text messages offering Nevada oil leases with "billion+ barrel potential." People who responded to the text messages were encouraged to include their family and friends in the deal.
Other state and federal regulators have also taken action against Franklin and his firms. The Cease and Desist Order states that California and Kansas have taken action against him for offering similar oil and gas deals. In a separate action, the federal Securities and Exchange Commission has found that Franklin violated federal securities laws and has barred him from participating in any way in the sale of penny stocks.
The two men have the right to request a hearing within 45 days of receiving the Cease and Desist Order. If they do not request a hearing or waive their rights to it, the Securities Administrator may issue a permanent order and seek criminal prosecution.
The Securities Division would like to hear from anyone who may have invested with any of these firms or their representatives. Individuals in Clark County can call 702-486-2440 or toll free from elsewhere in the state at 1-800-758-6440.

The fear of striking out
By GARY ANDREWS
Watching a version of "Cinderella" the other day I was reminded of a great quote; "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." What a tremendous saying. I often wonder how many of us in the world today let so many opportunities pass by us and we are so busy searching for the perfect fit that we miss what God intended us to do.
As in this story life sometimes treats us as if we are step children, by default on terms that weren't accepted by love, and we allow others to treat us like they want to. We allow our self-confidence to be shaken and we tend to move away from our family, friends, and more importantly, our dreams.
We tend to look at what the world is telling us to do and let go of our passions. Many times we sink back into our inner shell and forget that this is a great big beautiful world that the Lord has given us. Some of the time this is caused by tragic events in our family or friends and we forget who is really in charge. Losing a loved one, being mistreated by people you trust, or making a change in your vocation can lead to doubts and inner fears that will cripple our attitudes and take us backwards.
The fear of embarrassing ourselves often keeps us from pursuing opportunities. Losing our self-confidence is one of the worse things that could ever happen to us. Losing sight of Who is really in control, and this is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, hurts us more than any human action possibly could.
The Bible speaks to us about confidence all through its pages but in Psalm 37:7 we are told, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;…"
How many of us really do this. How many times have you gone to the closet to pray and ask the Lord to help you alleviate your problems and then actually listen to Him. How many times have you intended to follow your heart's desire, knowing the Lord is with you, and let the world change your mind and take away what you really needed to do.
As it was with Cinderella we have to regain our confidence in people around us, especially our family, friends, and dreams. Even though this movie doesn't mention God, all of us that are Christians realize that we have a hope for the future with Him. He doesn't promise us a perfect world or a perfect life but He does promise us eternal life with Him when we leave this world behind. No other one or anything this world can come up with can give you that assurance.
Prayer: Thank you Lord Jesus for the assurance that you give me. Thank you for the confidence I can have through you. Amen.
