Shelby County, DeSoto County Sheriff's Office to conduct sobriety roadside safety checkpoints | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office along with the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department will be conducting two DUI sobriety checkpoints at two pre-determined locations due to area crash data on alcohol related crashes.
This is a joint DUI Enforcement Initiative to deter and detect alcohol violations and prevent motor vehicles crashes involving motorist who have been consuming alcohol.
The first checkpoint will be conducted at Hacks Cross/ Stateline Rd from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and the second checkpoint will be conducted at Riverdale/ Stateline Rd from 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. January 4.
Impaired driving is a serious crime that kills more than 16,000 people and injures 305,000 others every year in the United States.
In 2009, nearly one-third of those killed in crashes on our Tennessee highways involves drivers or motorcycle operators with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or above at the time of the deadly crash - according to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.
Officers will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment.
Officers will also target those who operate a vehicle while impaired and take corrective actions for other violations observed while ensuring the protection of all motorists.
Shelby County Sheriff's DUI Officers working this checkpoint will be 100 percent funded with federal grant dollars.

Aromatics Elixir has been my fragrance of choice for many, many years. Once I used it, I knew it was for me. I've had countless compliments for the wonderful scent. A gentleman once followed me around -- in a grocery store --isle for isle -- and finally approached me to find out the name of the fragrance I was wearing so that he could purchase it for his spouse. It's light enough that I forget I'm wearing it; however, it has a lingering effect so others tell me. I love it !!

The Kentucky Hospital Association encourages members to use purple wristbands with the letters "DNR" to signal that a patient doesn't want to be resuscitated.
The group's vice president, Elizabeth Cobb, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that multiple hospitals have asked for guidance in recent months, so the campaign to encourage the use of wristbands will begin in March.
Cobb said she knew of no mistakes involving do-not-resuscitate orders in Kentucky hospitals.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services' Office of Inspector General has issued seven citations for such mistakes since 2007.
Becky Babb, registration supervisor at Jackson Purchase Medical Center in Mayfield, said her hospital does not use the wristbands. Instead, the hospital notes a patient's DNR on medical charts.
"A DNR must be completed when a patient signs into the hospital," Babb said. "It's only good for that one stay in the hospital. Items like a living will or a DNR are not applicable unless a patient is terminally ill or injured."
James Wright, director of pastoral care at Western Baptist Hospital, said the hospital uses the wristband system to identify patients with DNRs.
"We've done the bracelet for about six or seven years and had no problems," Wright said. "It's a good system, but we have our chaplains follow up to make sure their wishes haven't changed."
Like Jackson Purchase, Lourdes also does not use DNR wristbands. Cindy Ford, palliative care coordinator at Lourdes, said if a patient requests a DNR, this wish is noted on the patient's chart. Nursing staff alerts the relief shift about a patient's wishes at a shift change. A DNR sticker is also placed on a patient's chart. With hospital chaplains, she may visit a patient with a DNR to explain the order and ensure the request reflects a patient's wishes.
"Normally, a patient's reason for a DNR is because their quality of life as they know it has declined," Ford said. "A patient may feel their quality of life has reached the point that they would enjoy no benefit if they were resuscitated."
The Office of Inspector General does not order regulations, but issues best-practices bulletins saying nursing homes should offer a non-mandatory purple band to residents with DNR orders.

Fremantle midfielder Ryan Crowley has revealed he lost 8kg over the summer to regain his mantle as the Dockers' premier shut-down player.
A beefed-up Crowley struggled last year as a defensive forward, with the extra bulk he put on for the role hindering rather than helping his game.
Although he played 19 out of a possible 22 matches, Crowley's AFL future hung in the balance at the end of last season.
The arrival of coach Ross Lyon proved a saving grace for Crowley, who was offered a new one-year deal and was told to slim down to regain his place in the midfield.
The 28-year-old tagger backed off his weights program and embarked on a strict diet, losing a whopping 11kg before putting 3kg back on.
Crowley has enjoyed the fruits of his labour in the opening two rounds of 2012, tallying 22 possessions against Geelong, and then 21 disposals and two goals against Sydney last week.
The 117-game veteran will be aiming to continue his good form when he lines up against Brisbane at Patersons Stadium on Saturday.
"I got drafted as a midfielder and I always wanted to play as a midfielder. Ross has shown a bit of faith in me there," Crowley said.
"Getting from contest to contest, playing in the midfield, if you're eight kilos lighter, it's going to be easier.
"I feel like later in games, my run's still there."
Crowley normally gets the shutdown job on star midfielder Simon Black when he fronts up against Brisbane.
But with Black nursing a hand injury, Crowley suspects he'll be assigned the job on Jack Redden or Tom Rockliff.
In an interesting side plot to the match, intrigue surrounds whether Brisbane assistant Mark Harvey and Lyon will shake hands before or after the match.
Harvey was controversially axed as Fremantle coach last year to accommodate the arrival of then-St Kilda coach Lyon, who had been secretly courted by the Dockers.
The pair are still yet to speak directly since the coaching drama, but Crowley didn't believe the extra attention surrounding the situation would have any bearing on Saturday's match.
"There's been a lot of water gone under the bridge since then," Crowley said.
"I'm sure Mark's moved on. We've moved on.
"Footy's one of those industries where, if you dwell on the past too much, time passes you by."
Brisbane, who lost to Carlton by 91 points last week, welcome back skipper Jonathan Brown from a facial injury.
Josh Drummond, Andrew Raines, Ryan Harwood and debutant ruckman Billy Longer also earned call-ups, while Cheynee Stiller, Niall McKeever, Rohan Bewick and Ben Hudson were all dropped.
The Dockers dropped forward Jack Anthony to accommodate the return of fit-again midfielder David Mundy.

This will be a Wolfblood based RPG, but you do not have to have seen the TV show to join
Background Info:
Some of us live amongst the humans, others of us hold only hatred towards their kind. Although we appear human our Wolf part simmers deep inside us. Many of us have control over our Wolves, allowing us to live in harmony with these humans, however a select few live like as our ancestors did, as wild Wolfbloodss free to roam the moors.
Our secret is not for those other than our kind. On a Full Moon Wolfbloods transform into their full wolf selves, many choosing to transform inside a den away from the human civilisation, minimising the risk of exposure. However wild Wolfbloods hold no such rule and tend to transform purely whenever they feel like it. Even without a full moon Wolfbloods have the power to transform, generally more if angered or experiencing strong emotions.
Many Wolfbloods live among humans and try to live a normal life, but some have chosen to embrace their powers and live as wild Wolfbloods. These wild Wolfbloods have become one with nature and have learned Eolas, an ancient method that only Wolfbloods may learn. It lets one hear, see and feel almost anything, but it also brings out feral instincts, making the user more wolf-like and wild.
You may be either a wild Wolfblood or a Wolfblood trying to live a normal life. You may also sign up as a human if preferred.
If your interested please post below!!! Thanks

At least it's during spring break but I wish this would extend through the HoV lane too near Walnut creek pass 24 where it bottle necks.

I guess it's a good thing, but why couldn't they do it as part of the repaving effort last year? They had those ramps closed almost every night then!

Who in the world plans these projects? Now they are tearing up the road again to broaden it? They couldn't have thought ahead and done this when the repaved? Who is in charge of our street boondoggles?

So sad to see all the tree taken down. Such an increase in the noise. :( I'm sure that the new landscaping will be very small trees. I'm sure that it will be another 10 years until the tree become as tall as they were. It will be terrible to try to sleep with all the extre noise on the summer nights when we would normally have windows open. Why has it taken sooo link to complete this project? And I agree why couldn't it have been done with the repaving project. Bad planning!

Marvel Beverage and Wine Refrigerator - 24" Wide - Black Cabinet, Stainless Glass Door
This is a zero clearance built-in model. While other compact refrigerators would require ugly gaps or spacing at the top, sides, or back for proper ventilation, Marvel units can be totally built-in for a sleek and custom look. By eliminating the condenser coils found on the back of most compact refrigerators, Marvel units can still look aesthetically pleasing, while consistently keeping your beverages at your desired temperature.

Marvel Beverage and Wine Refrigerator - 24" Wide - Black Cabinet, Stainless Glass Door
Great Bar Fridge
Researched this purchase very closely before making a decision ... I usually don't post reviews, but there weren't many reviews on this Marvel model, so I am posting to help others out.
The Marvel fridge looks great. I was skeptical of the temperature range (39-degrees is the lowest) for drink storage, but it works great for beer, water, soda on the upper shelves. I store white wines on the bottom two levels. I have not had any issue with temperature control. The shelves don't have many options for adjusting, but I removed the black wire shelf on the upper left. That really works so now the entire upper shelf can hold open bottles of wine, bottles beer, pitchers of drinks, etc. Keep cans of beer/soda/tonic on the mid shelf and wine on the bottom two rows. It is super quiet except when the compressor cuts on, but even then it is not bothersome, just a humming in the background. Would depend on where you have it installed if it would be noticeable.
So far, I would recommend this product. Only had it 3-weeks, so can not comment on reliability.

My marvel fitts perfectly into a space in my kitchen. The motor operates quietly and the appearance is sleek. So far, I'm quite happy with my purchase!

disappointingly noisy
This unit was disappointingly noisy, so if quiet is important to you, do not select this unit. Also the "two-zone" if just a glass panel that restricts the transfer of the cold from the top of the unit (where the cold gets generated) to the bottom. I guess that fact should have been clearer in the product description. It does create ~10 degree warmer area at the bottom than the top - for some reason with a description of two-zone, I was expecting to have temp control over both zones, just not a fixed temp difference.

The Risk Intelligent BoardViewing the world through risk-colored glasses |
Boards are under pressure – regulatory, legal, fiduciary, stakeholder – to oversee the risk management activities of the company.
But many board members are unsure how to approach their risk-related responsibilities. They are uncertain about roles and delineation of responsibility. They wonder where to start and how to bring all the disparate pieces together. They look for answers to important questions such as: Where does risk oversight belong at the board level?
This paper provides a thoughtful perspective on the risk management issues boards should be concerned with and offers concrete suggestions for adopting a Risk Intelligent approach.

As if biodiversity wasn't under siege already from encroaching human populations and climate change, it is literally under attack, according to a new study showing that most of the last half-century's conflicts were in the most ecologically rich—and threatened—parts of the planet.
One hundred eighteen of 146 of the wars fought between 1950 and 2000 occurred in biodiversity hot spots, according to the study in Conservation Biology. There are 34 of those hot spots—defined as areas with at least half of all known plant species and at least 42 percent of terrestrial vertebrates—on the globe, based on criteria established in 1988 to prioritize conservation goals.
Many of the conflicts were in Africa and Southeast Asia. Wars such as the ethnic conflict that led to the Rwandan genocide, for example, were waged in the Eastern Afromontane, an intermittently mountainous region rich in flora, mammals, birds and amphibians that stretches from Zimbabwe to the Arabian Peninsula. Southeast Asian conflicts, including the Vietnam War, occurred in the Indo-Burma hot spot, which contains a wealth of turtles and birds.
Some of the link between war and biodiversity seems obvious: people settle in areas where there is an abundance of fresh water, food, and materials for shelter, and if any of those resources grow thin, war might break out. But scientists are looking at the connection through a wider lens as part of a new field of research dubbed "warfare ecology" that examines war preparations, the wars themselves and lingering postwar activities and their relationship to ecosystems.
In some cases, hot spots are the scene of war because their remoteness offers cover to rebel groups, says co-author Thor Hanson, a conservation biologist and member of the University of Idaho's human ecosystems study group. In the case of the Vietnam War, for example, destroying rainforest cover and cropland with Agent Orange was part of the U.S. strategy against the Viet Cong.
Elsewhere, the relationship is more complicated. In the case of the decade-long conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighboring countries have been drawn in partly because of the country's "lootable resources," including gold, timber, diamonds and colombo-tantalite ore (coaltan), a mineral used as a component in cell phones, Hanson says. During the Rwandan conflict, soldiers fighting in the country's Akagera National Park—which before the fighting was home to antelope, buffalo, impalas and lions—killed forest wildlife, as did poachers, according to a study in the journal Biodiversity and Conservation. And refugees stressed necessary resources such as firewood. (See our slide show on how Africa's environment has changed over the last three decades from plundering of its forests for timber.)
The new study doesn't quantify how much habitat loss is caused by war. But global warming and its effects on climate is a "threat multiplier" for war by making the availability of natural resources such as fresh water and food unpredictable, Hanson says. Further drought in the Sahel (the region along the southern edge of the Sahara Desert) could add increased stress in Darfur, Sudan, which has been torn by genocide that some say has been driven by water shortages.
The hot spots "have seen a lot of habitat lost over the years and there's the idea that damage to ecological systems contributes to conflict because people rely on those systems, and when resources are degraded that exacerbates conflicts," Hanson says. "They've been historically an important part of war and are expected to increase as the population grows."

Before you go rushing off with conclusions about this relationship, please think a bit. How are "biodiversity hotspots" defined? How much of the planet's surface is classified as a hotspot? If it's big enough, is the relationship really interesting? And, frankly, is a conflict with 1000 dead really "major"? Most countries lose far more people that that on their roads each year. How does the size of the conflict influence the result? What about the dates chosen for the study? This apparent co-location could be completely spurious. Isn't this supposed to be "Scientific" American? Isn't science supposed to proceed by strong induction? Where is the hypothesis, and what are its predictions? Otherwise, this story is little more than entertainment.

MAROON Loyola University, New Orleans January 30, 1981 Vol. 59, No. 2 Trustees approve tuition increase By Siegfried Zelt Maroon Reporter Loyola students are in for tuition and housing rate increases in 1981-82. The Loyola Board of Trustees approved the new rates at its Jan. 22 meeting. Undergraduate tuition will rise from $2,725 to $3,200 per year. Law school tuition has been increased by $700 to $3,800. Graduate students received the stiffest raise — 22.4 percent — a $22 increase to $120 per credit hour. Other increases include a $10 rise in Summer School tuition to $80 an hour. City College fees will rise from $60 to $65 per credit hour. John L. Eckholdt, vice president for Business and Finance, said the percent increase for tuition and fee revenues is "approximately equal to the percent increase [requested] for the university's total salary budgets. "The increases are indicative of the university's determination to keep our average salary scale rising as inflation continues to rise, and to bring our faculty salaries closer to the salary ranges of educational institutions in this area," he explained. The figures for salary increases will be finalized at the March board meeting. Dr. E.P. Seybold Jr., director of Scholarships and Financial Aid, said academic scholarships are expected to increase by the same percentage as tuition. However, this is also pending approval at the March meeting. Seybold also said that total budgets for other scholarship programs such as university grants and tuition remissions for resident assistants have not yet been finalized. Seybold said the university expects only a modest increase in campus federal loan money, so the university may not be able to increase significantly the loan amount for the average student. Concerning federal aid, Seybold said, "I don't know if I can anticipate more [aid]. . . . However, there has been a slow and steady growth in [federal] financial aid." Dormitory rates have also increased for the second year in a row. "It is about a perfect 12 percent increase — maybe a little bit above that," Housing Director Robert J. Turek said. A double room in Buddig Hall will go up $69 in 1981-82, to $630. A single room, which now goes for $772, will be $870. Biever Hall residents will have to pay $600 for their double rooms next semester, up $70 from this semester. Single rooms will go up $82 to $750. The fees for 'Twomey House were increased from $561 for a double room to $630. Semi-private rooms will go up $82 to $750 a semester.

I review on page 6 Speaker provokes angry response By Mike Tifft Maroon Reporter In a heated discussion Monday night, several students verbally attacked Ivan Escobar, a member of the Human Rights Commission of El Salvador, after he delivered a brief speech denouncing U.S. support of the military-civilian junta in El Salvador. Escobar spoke about the current political conflict in El Salvador between the ruling junta and leftist guerillas. The commission Escobar represents is not an El Salvadoran government agency. Escobar said the junta was responsible for the political violence that left an estimated 9,000 people dead in 1980 and compared the guerrilla activity of the leftist forces to that of colonists during the American Revolution. Saying "the people of El Salvador . . . are peaceful people who had attempted to resolve their differences by all peaceful and constitutional means," Escobar detailed atrocities allegedly committed by the junta. See Guest Editorial/Pagei Throughout the presentation, Escobar maintained that U.S. involvement with the junta, which assumed power in October 1980, "would lead to another Vietnam for the people of the United States." He urged the members of the audience "to influence your government to stop their pacifications in El Salvador." Escobar's statements seemed to contradict the position maintained by Robert White, U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador. According to White, U.S. support of the junta is an effort to establish a moderate government and to contain both rightist and leftist activities. During a . half-hour question-andanswer period, the audience raised other issues, including the possibility of communist support of left-wing organizations and the possible involvement of right-wing groups in the majority of political assassinations. Members of the audience agreed with White's claims that the violence plaguing El Salvador is not the United States' fault, but the fault of corrupt security forces controlled by exiled right-wing interests. Less federal aid likely during Reagan's term A News Analysis By Cindy Hite Maroon Assistant News Editor When President Ronald Reagan is fulfilling his campaign promise to cut federal spending, will he snip away at federal aid for college students?

Before Reagan's election as governor, 96-98 percent of budget requests for California universities were approved by the California Legislature. During his administration — from 1966 to 1974 — Reagan tightened the budget and extended regental control over the universities. In the early '60s, California ranked sixth in state support of higher education, but by 1970 it had fallen to 28th. Unrest developed on campuses throughout the state. Students at the University of California—Riverside called Reagan a "political parasite." Reagan himself admitted that his mere presence on a UC campus was enough to cause a riot. But California wasn't the only state prone to student uprisings. It must be remembered that this was a period when demonstrations calling for peace and an end to the draft prevailed on college campuses throughout the country. However, Reagan didn't trim off all the fat. A large portion of the state budget was still allocated to university bureaucracy. It took three years for Reagan to finally persuade the regents to adopt tuition. While there are no immediate plans to reduce federal aid to college students, this should be considered a probable future action of the Reagan administration. This could mean trimming the Higher Education Amendments of 1980, which are now in effect. These amendments will provide nearly $50 billion in student loans, scholarships and other college aid during the next five years. Reagan's freeze on federal hiring — put in effect last week — is bad news for liberal arts students. This action will tighten the job market. However, job opportunities should be plentiful for graduates in highly technical fields including computer science, engineering and business.

Nascar Sprint Cup Series: Brickyard 400 Presented By Bigmachinerecords.com Schedule |
Allstate 400; Makin' Dust at the Brickyard The race formerly known as the Brickyard 400, a NASCAR Nextel Cup points race, run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana, is the first race other than the Indianapolis 500 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 1916. Such a rare spectacle will always draw people, and it is true to say that Allstate 400 at the Brickyard tickets are a big deal. Allstate 400 tickets are in fact heavily prized by racing fans, as this is the only stock car race to be held at the Indianapolis Speedway. Since 1994, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard has thrilled huge crowds, but it began as nought more than a rumor, given life by an interesting group of present and former NASCAR heroes. When A.J. Foyt went to film a commmercial at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1991, he took his NASCAR stock car for a spin at the track, the first stock car ever to run on the hallowed ground. Before long, others, including renowned IROC drivers Dick Trickle and Dave Marcis, had also run tests on the Speedway track, and momentum was growing towards an all-out stock car race at Indianapolis. In mid-1992, Goodyear held a so-called tire test at Indianapolis, which was actually a cloaked operation on the part of nine NASCAR Winston Cup Series teams who were gauging the track's ability to race stock cars. During the trial, A.J. Foyt took ill-fated Dale Earnhardt's car out for a spin on the novel new surface. In April 1993, the news was announced; the Brickyard 400 was to be raced the following year. People now had the chance to watch the thundering stock cars they loved compete on a racetrack of the Indy's caliber. Tickets to the race were known as Brickyard 400 tickets, until 2004 when the race changed its name, and became the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Allstate 400 at the Brickyard tickets are now part of the blood and guts of the competitive stock car calendar, and if you want your NASCAR tickets move quick, for the racetrack is large, and the numbers of people looking for race tickets larger still. The tradition of kissing the bricks at the Brickyard 400 finish line began in 1996, when Dale Jarrett and his crew did it. Funnily enough, the Indianapolis 500 participants have adopted this amusing ritual since then, and lucky Allstate 400 at the Brickyard ticket holders, as well as Indianapolis 500 ticket holders, get to see this up close. |

We're still months away from the most serious effort ever at getting Americans plugged in and behind the wheel of an electric car. GM's Chevy Volt and Nissan's Leaf will be available for sale to the general public by December. Both are similar in range, 100 miles or so on a full charge and both have sticker prices that some consider hefty. The Volt, $41,000 because it has a backup gas engine. The Leaf does not, but will cost nearly $33,000.
There are probably going to be people who will not consider these vehicles when they see the MSRP but, the expected popularity of the plug-ins is why both manufacturers have started a price war of sorts. After Nissan offered an 8-year, 100,000 mile warranty, GM followed suit. Nissan has a lease option with payments of $350 a month, and so does GM. Both should attract customers Both cars are sharing another incentive, federal tax credits of $7500 per car. Many of the models are not even on showroom floors yet, but the competition for your consumer dollar has already revved into high gear.

MILTON, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say an Alabama man has died from injuries he suffered in a traffic crash in the Florida Panhandle.
The Florida Highway Patrol says David M. Kicker of Repton, Ala., was driving a Ford Explorer on a state road southeast of Jay when he failed to stop for a turning vehicle.
Reports say that Kicker's SUV rear-ended a car that then struck a third vehicle. Neither of the other drivers was injured in the accident Wednesday afternoon.
Kicker's vehicle went into a ditch and rolled over. He was not wearing a seat belt.
Authorities say Kicker was taken to a Pensacola hospital, where he died Thursday.

Vic Chesnutt
Vic Chesnutt
Though Michael Stipe had been a fan of Vic Chesnutt since the late '80s, producing his first two full-lengths, it took the Sweet Relief Two tribute album to make a star of him in mid-1996. The album featured artists such as Madonna, Hootie & the Blowfish, Smashing Pumpkins, and R.E.M. covering the songs of Chesnutt, a paraplegic who was injured in a car accident when he was 18. The singer/songwriter began playing contemporary acoustic folk around Athens, GA, soon after his injury. A show at the 40 Watt Club brought him to the attention of Stipe, who helped with production on 1990's Little and 1991's West of Rome, both on Texas Hotel Records. A documentary video of Chesnutt's life called Speed Racer was produced and directed by Peter Sillen in 1991, and has aired on PBS. Chesnutt's third album, Drunk, followed in late 1993, but the release of his fourth album was delayed by Chesnutt's membership in Brute, a project with members of Widespread Panic including David A. Schools, Michael Houser, Todd Nance, John Hermann, Johnny Hickman, David Lowery, and John Keane.

Dinosaur Jr.
Starts: Nov 29 2012 - 8:00pm
Ends: Nov 29 2012 - 11:30pm
There is nothing quite like a Dinosaur Jr. album. The best ones are always recognizable from the first notes. And even though J tries to trip us up by smearing "Don't Pretend You Didn't Know" with keyboards, it's clear from the moment he starts his vocals that this is the one and only Dinosaur Jr., long reigning kings of Amherst, Massachusetts (and anywhere else they choose to hang their toques).
The trio has taken everything they've learned from the various projects they tackled over the years, and poured it directly into their current mix. J's guitar approaches some of its most unhinged playing here, but there's a sense of instrumental control that matches the sweet murk of his vocals (not that he always remembers to exercise control on stage, but that's another milieu). This is head-bobbing riff-romance at the apex. Lou's basswork shows a lot more melodicism now as well, although his two songs on I Bet on Sky retain the jagged rhythmic edge that has so often marked his work. And Murph…well, he still pounds the drums as hard and as strong as a pro wrestler, with deceptively simple structures that manage to interweave themselves perfectly with his bandmates' melodic explosions.

Suarez is expected to be named in Liverpool's starting line-up for the first time since being banned for 10 games for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in May.
"He has been a great player. As we all know, he is a top striker," said on-loan Chelsea winger Moses.
"We have really missed him. He is going to be a big factor for us in winning games. We will be relying on him to score goals. He is always a goalscorer. It is good for us that Luis Suarez is back.
"He is a great lad. I have spoken to him every day. We always say hello to each other in the morning and train together. He is a great lad and I have really enjoyed playing alongside him in training."
Saurez served an eight-game ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra in 2011, but Moses believes he will cope with any hostile reception from the home fans.
"He will go out there and do his thing," said Moses. "Luis will go out there and score goals. That is what he loves to do."
Even if Suarez were to descend in to Old Trafford on Angelic wings, carrying Matt Busby whilst a heavenly host sang "oo-ah, Cantona" before granting Sir Alex eternal life and his choice of midfielders, even then he wouldn't silence the crowd.- lee

The Gluon project is an open framework for creating and distributing games, supporting the flow of the idea all the way from the author to the player of the finished game. The current goal for the first stable release is to create games using 2D graphics. The reasoning behind this is that the niche for this type of visual is very large and so far untapped by specialized tools. In the world of 3D games there are solutions such as Unity3D, which provide a distribution system, but in the 2D game development world there are no tools to provide a complete ecosystem for creation, distribution, and feedback gathering. The three main audiences of Gluon are game creators, game players, and application programmers. Each of these are a user of one of the tools.

It makes internal use of customized versions of popular Unix tools like Mutt, Fetchmail, Procmail, Mairix, and Msmtp.
K9Copy facilitates several methods for backing up a DVD. The software enables direct backup of a single layer DVD-5, provided the user's computer has a DVD recorder. Likewise, direct backup of a dual layer DVD-9 is possible with a dual layer DVD recorder. K9Copy is also able to fit the contents of a dual layer DVD-9 onto a single layer DVD-5. The interface allows a user to explicitly retain or discard any content from the original disc such as video titles, audio tracks, subtitles, and the DVD menu. All content selected for backup is compressed to a configurable target size (4400 MB by default) and stored on the user's hard drive as either an ISO image file or a DVD VIDEO_TS folder. K9Copy can either transfer the backup data to blank DVD±R media or utilize external DVD authoring software such as K3b for this task. Furthermore, an ISO image file produced by K9Copy can be recorded to DVD by any software on any platform capable of recording ISO images to disc. It can also back up a DVD to a video file (such as MPEG-4).

GREENWICH – The investigation into the disappearance of a Washington County boy has taken a turn.
At a news conference Thursday morning Cambridge-Greenwich Police Chief George Bell announced that the Jaliek Rainwalker investigation is no longer considered a missing person case, but is now classified as a probable child homicide.
Jaliek disappeared five years ago when he was 12 years old. He was last seen with his adoptive father, Stephen Kerr – who has been considered a person of interest in the case, but never named as a suspect.
Jaliek was living in Greenwich with Kerr and his wife, Jocelyn McDonald. The couple, who later moved to Vermont, had said they suspected Jaliek ran away. Police say they have not been cooperative with the investigation.
Bell says investigators now have reason to believe that Jaliek most likely met with foul play and that there is no indication that he is still alive.
Police also announced that the yellow jacket Jaliek was last seen wearing was recently found.
Police say there may still be someone out there with information that could help the investigation. They're hoping the reclassification of the case as a probable homicide might spur someone to come forward.
Investigators say this has never been considered a "cold case" and that they are determined to bring it to a resolution.
