July 30, 2006
Temperatures are going to soar this week in the commonwealth. But Virginians aren't the only ones trying to beat the heat.
"This seems to be the hottest summer we've had in a long time," said Andrea Ross, the manager at Meade Pool in Charlotte's.
After a week of slightly cooler weather, the next few days are expected to be scorchers.
Temperatures are heading to the triple digit mark yet again, and that means the deck at Meade Pool will likely be packed with people trying to cool off.
"We've been really crazy," said Ross. "We've had a lot of groups come this year, and so we've been four and five guards up most of the summer. So it's been a great summer, but it's just been really hot."
It's also "really hot" in many other parts of the country, too.
For people living in the northern plains to the northeast, this summer's heat wave has been crippling. That's especially true for farmers and their crops.
Climatologists say more than 60% of the U.S. is badly in need of rain. The economic toll is huge.
"This drought is expanding and growing every week, and as it continues, it's going to put a lot more stress on our [agriculture] economy," said Perry Aasness, from the Department of Agriculture.
In other areas, the heat that is gripping the country is causing wildfires. It's chasing hundreds from their homes in the Dakotas this weekend.
"With heat like this - water, water, water," said Abby Uhrich, a firefighter battling the flames.
On the west coast, some places have had temperatures in the triple digits every day since July 16th.
In New York, thousands are still without power after violent thunderstorms moved through the city.
The week ahead, and it's soaring temperatures are sure to be challenging for people just about everywhere, including those of us right here in Central Virginia.
City officials said they may extend hours at several of the city's pools this week. They also say Key Recreation Center on Market Street will be open all day Monday for people who need to get into air conditioning and out of the hot air.

Director Tamra Davis is hardly an "outsider artist." She is a well-known Hollywood director of music videos (with Sonic Youth, Hanson, Depeche Mode, Cher, and many more), feature films (including Billy Madison, Half Baked, and Crossroads with Britney Spears), and television series (My Name is Earl, Everybody Hates Chris, and Ugly Betty, among others).
Davis took some time out to talk to Independent Lens about her labor-of-love film on her friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, which premieres on THIRTEEN on April 12, 2011 at 10 p.m.
Interview courtesy of Independent Lens. For more interviews and other Independent Lens film content, visit their blog.
You had footage of Jean-Michel for years. Why did you wait until now to make this film?
Honestly I think it had to do with a few factors. I had been working in television and I really wanted to get back into feature film directing and this was a project I could do without having to wait for a studio or for a huge amount of money. I also was feeling confident enough in my skills as a filmmaker that I could make this film pretty much by myself. Those are the technical reasons. On a personal level, having that footage and feeling it still lingering I really felt that it was time for Jean-Michel to have his voice heard. I was getting tired of all the misconceptions about who Jean-Michel was.
How did you come to make Jean-Michel's acquaintance?
I lived in Los Angeles and I was going to film school and working in an art gallery. My best friend Matt worked at Larry Gagosian's gallery and Jean came to L.A. for his first show. Matt and Jean-Michel came into the gallery I worked at and we just immediately bonded over our love of film and music.
When was the last time you saw or spoke to him?
I spoke to him about a month before he died. Maybe even a few weeks? I had just stayed in his loft on Great Jones Street in Manhattan and told him that he had to fix the air conditioning. It was like sleeping in an oven.
What were some of the challenges you faced in making your film?
Many of the people I spoke with were hard to track down and get an actual date to film them. So it took a lot of effort setting up all the interviews. I also made the film mostly by myself, so that took a tremendous amount of self-motivation. I was happy to have David Koh as my producer, because he would call me every day and ask me if I did this and that. Getting all the archival footage together was a challenge and i am so grateful to all the photographers and filmmakers whose images help fill out the world my film takes place in. The other thing that was challenging was the edit. I wanted to make an emotional film, so to do that I had to keep myself emotionally raw. I think I cried everyday while in the edit room.
What would you have liked to include in your film that didn't make the cut?
I really feel I made the exact film I set out to make. I wanted it to have edge, so I think my lack of funds helped with that.
Tell us about a scene in the film that especially moved or resonated with you.
I really liked all the stuff about fame and its effect on a young artist. I also really loved the section on racism. I think the thing that most moves me is the look in his eyes. Especially when I see him looking at me.(View full post to see video)
What has the audience response been so far?
I'm grateful to say it has been overwhelmingly positive. It meant so much to me to show the film to people and even though it was such a personal film about someone the audience does not know personally, the film still had a deep impact.
Basquiat was a street artist, then an "outsider" artist, and then very much embraced by the art establishment. Do you think his success with mainstream collectors and celebrities actually doomed him and his art?
I wanted to show that it is hard for an artist to become famous so quickly. It's hard to have people talking about you and trashing you in the media and saying they think your career is over … and you are only 25.
You make big-budget Hollywood pictures, television series, and music videos. What brought you back into the world of the independent film?
I am so inspired by new media. I really wanted to make a film myself. I have a great little camera and I had a theory that if the story is interesting, it doesn't matter what medium you shoot it on. You just have to make a good film. It was inspiring to me as a filmmaker to have that freedom.
Why did you choose to present this film on public television?
There is a moment I had in speaking with Jean-Michel on tape where he specifically says that this documentary is for PBS. He really wanted me to make a film that would be educational and have a large audience of everyday people. I was so excited that Independent Lens invited my film to be on PBS. It would have made him so happy.
You have a cooking show? How did that come to be?
I had just had my second child in a very short time period and was at home trying to come to grips with my new role: Mom. I had not stopped making films and videos in 20 years, so it was hard for me not to identify myself as a filmmaker. I was also obsessed with food and reality TV (like any other mom). I thought I had an amazing opportunity. I was a mom that was cooking healthy food for her new family and I was a filmmaker. I put the two together and created a show. It gave me something to do and was good for my family. It also gave me the confidence as a filmmaker that all I needed was a camera and a computer and I could make, edit, and distribute a something I had made.
What didn't you get done when you were making The Radiant Child?
I don't know what this means … I'm the queen of multitasking, as I sit even now in a director chair on the set of a TV series I am the director and exec for, texting with my husband about feeding dinner to my kids, and answering these questions. I will always get it done.
What are your three favorite films?
Unfair question because there are way too many. I can tell you what I've been watching this week…
Butterfield 8
Oceans 12
What advice do you have for aspiring filmmakers?
If you think you are a filmmaker … make a film, and then show it. You need to be able to finish what you started so it is presentable. When you screen it and see if your film has an effect on an audience, you will understand what it means to be a filmmaker.
On April 11, PBSKIDSGO.org will premiere Noah Comprende, a new web-only series produced by THIRTEEN for WNET that introduces children 6-8 years old to Spanish through animated videos with embedded games.
The series is about a nine-year-old boy visiting his grandmother in a community where nobody speaks English. As Noah tries to learn Spanish from a precocious five-year-old neighbor named Coco, he sometimes gets it wrong. Each misunderstanding launches a new comic misadventure for him and his pet mouse, Pequeño. With Pequeño's help, Noah always manages to solve the problems he's created, learning Spanish in the process.
Each three-minute video features opportunities for kids to roll their cursors over objects on the screen to hear the Spanish translations. Three different vocabulary-driven, arcade-style games reinforce learning. Another game on the website, How Do You Say…?, helps kids learn common expressions in Spanish.(View full post to see video)
The bilingual dialogue of Noah Comprende introduces Spanish to English speakers and English to Spanish speakers. The goal of Noah Comprende is to help youngsters get the benefits of learning a language at an early age. According to the Center for Applied Linguistics, they include:
Noah Comprende introduces kids to collections of vocabulary words that are accessible and of interest to the target age group. The videos also teach common phrases, with visuals providing the context needed for viewers to make sense of the language.
Noah Comprende is a production of THIRTEEN for WNET and is funded by The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Jill Peters and Sandra Sheppard are executive producers, Michelle Chen is the producer, and David Matthew Feldman and Louise A. Gikow are writers and associate producers.

Amanda Pope and Tchavdar Georgiev discovered a book at a flea market in Moscow about Russian avant-garde art that miraculously survived Soviet censorship. That chance encounter led to many years traveling back and forth between Los Angeles, Moscow, and Uzbekistan, piecing together the history of the most remarkable trove of modern art you've probably never seen. The result is The Desert of Forbidden Art, which premieres on THIRTEEN on April 5, 2011 at 10 p.m.
Independent Lens sat down with the filmmakers to discuss their travels and the making of the film.
Interview courtesy of Independent Lens. For more interviews and other Independent Lens film content, visit their blog.
What impact do you hope this film will have?
We hope that our film will serve as a catalyst to bring international attention to protect and preserve this endangered 20th century art treasure. Even though the museum houses a collection worth millions, government salaries for its staff average less than $100 a month. This is just one example of the economic pressures on the museum. Ninety-seven percent of the collection is in dire need of restoration. We are using the film to encourage a traveling exhibition of Nukus Museum paintings to several museums across the U.S. Our final act of art activism will be to create the first book in English on the collection.(View full post to see video)
What led you to make this film?
In 2000, we were filming in Uzbekistan just finishing a two-year production on grassroots reformers in the former Soviet Union. Neither of us had ever been to Central Asia before and tales of Uzbekistan's Silk Road and the fabled blue-tiled domes of Samarkand, one of Muslim world's most dazzling capitals, sparked our interest. But then we were told of a cultural treasure from our own time, a museum of Soviet-era forbidden avant-garde art in a far off desert at the Western border of Uzbekistan. The improbability of the story was arresting: an amazing art collection, created by a penniless man, in the one of the world's poorest regions, in an Islamic country suspicious of art created by their former colonizers.
What were some of the challenges you faced in making this film?
Usually in a historic documentary where the main characters are no longer alive, filmmakers rely on diaries and letters, but the Soviet regime was so repressive that few people dared to document their views on art and their frustration about the lack of artistic freedom.
Painstakingly, by combing through archives and KGB files, we were able to piece together the story. And luckily we found friends and family with excellent memories of these former times. Children of the artists, now in their 80s, relived with relish their experiences from the Soviet era. And the main character, the collector Igor Savitsky, was so charismatic that everyone who had even the slightest interaction with him would quote him and would regale us with his antics.
Another challenge was the setting for the story. Our film's saga takes place in a remote part of the world, about a time in history that was harsh and foreign to an American audience. We had to find visuals to bring this epoch to life. We were thrilled to learn that the Soviets had sent one man, Max Penson, to Uzbekistan to document the Revolution. He took more than 15,000 images of the historical, social, religious, and political transformations that were taking place in the same period as the artists were painting. Thanks to his son, we were given full access to this collection by this Soviet Central Asian equivalent of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of modern photojournalism.
How did you gain the trust of the subjects in your film?
Tchavdar's fluent Russian was essential and we came recommended from organizations and other individuals whom our subjects already trusted.
The children of the artists were eager to share with the world stories of their parents' struggles. At one point, Amanda flew to Moscow with the sole purpose of interviewing the 81-year-old son of painter Alexander Volkov. He welcomed a non-stop filming interview of six hours, declining each hour her offers to pause for a break.
What would you have liked to include in your film that didn't make the cut?
We wanted to show more of the ordinary life of the curators and the people who live around this magnificent collection — because the contrast is so striking between their daily struggles for survival and the art collection they protect which is worth millions. This discrepancy has so much to say about the precarious future of a cultural treasure in a poor country.
Tell us about a scene in the film that especially moved or resonated with you.
One of our favorites is the story of the artist, Ural Tansykbaev, who paints brilliantly as a young man, then sells out and becomes famous painting propaganda works. Then as an old man he decides to go and visit his early work that he has not seen since he turned it over to the Collector, Igor Savitsky. What happens we won't give away, but it resonates big time.
What has the audience response been so far?
For art-loving audiences who are at first skeptical about "new" discoveries, the bold colors and originality of the art surprises and delights them. We have played to sold-out venues across the globe. We are told the film deals with very dark historical content but in an uplifting, sometimes even humorous way. They respond strongly to Miriam Cutler's score, richly punctuated with authentic instruments from Central Asia and Russia as well as some of our never-before-seen archival footage.
Have the people featured in the film seen it, and if so, what did they think?
We sent a copy of the film to the director of the Nukus Museum this last spring and she showed it first to her staff. When these folks had last seen us we were very low key about our filming. We are told there were not many dry eyes at the end. Unfortunately one of our dear characters, Militza Zemskaya, Savitsky's best friend, died before she could see herself in the film and we were reminded that we made the film not a moment too soon.
The independent film business is tough. What keeps you motivated?
It's a more interesting way to live. There's an adrenaline rush when you pull off a next to impossible day of filming or editing or when an audience "gets" your film. Making films is exhilarating in its power to motivate and inspire.
Why did you choose to present your film on public television?
PBS viewers are our ideal audience — open minded, culturally sophisticated, curious about the arts (especially art not familiar to them), hip to a quality film score, at ease with foreign language and sub-titles, and above all, appreciative of the care that goes into telling complex stories.
What do audiences tend to ask after they see your film?
"How can I go to Nukus myself?" We have tips on visiting and supporting the museum on our website.
"What is the future of the collection?" It is endangered, uncertain, and that is why we made the film.
What didn't you get done when you were making your film?
Tchavdar: I wish we had sophisticated film equipment like a dolly, steadi-cam or a jib arm on location with us at the museum so that we could have glided seemless through the paintings and experience them even more up close, feel the texture of the brushstrokes. But unfortunately as indie filmmakers we didn't have the budget to physically bring such large equipment to Uzbekistan and did our best using some old tricks that our Russian cameraman had to shoot paintings.
Amanda: I wanted to be able to speak with Karakalpak villagers who remembered Savitsky coming to collect their family heirlooms and hear their response at discovering that these objects were now world-prized. I also wished we could have spent more time following Savitsky's trail back to Russia, locating more people who had first-hand stories about him.(View full post to see video)
What are your three favorite films?
Soldiers of Music, by Bob Eisenhardt, Susan Fromke, and Albert Maysles
F for Fake, by Orson Welles
Little Dieter Needs to Fly, by Werner Herzog
What advice do you have for aspiring filmmakers?
Find a story and with characters who are original enough to sustain your interest for the several years it make take you to complete the film. If you can, find a community of like-minded people who will support you, often quite literally. If you gravitate towards social advocacy, find the small individual stories that reveal your larger themes. Always honor the power of your medium.
There are no craft services on an independent documentary shoot in the middle of a desert in Central Asia. What sustained you?
For us it was honey pepper vodka that helped us deal with the time difference of 12 hours between Los Angeles and Uzbekistan. When was the last time you tried to negotiate visas with a bureaucracy after working a 10-hour day?!
Inside Thirteen recently spoke with Bruce Marcus, executive producer of Vine Talk, and Josh Nathan, WNET's Vice President of Business Development, to discuss how the unique show came to fruition (pardon the pun).
Hosted by Stanley Tucci, Vine Talk features wine experts Ray Isle, Stepahanie Caraway, and Emilie Perrier. Each episode hosts wine tastings with a new and diverse panel of celebrity guests, from chefs (Lidia Bastianich, Stephen Raichlen, and many others) to actors (including Patricia Clarkson and John Lithgow), and beyond.
Vine Talk premieres Thursday, April 7 at 10:30 p.m. on THIRTEEN.
Inside Thirteen: What was the inspiration behind Vine Talk?
Bruce Marcus: The inspiration really came about by noticing a real void of television programs related to wine that were comforting and welcoming to people. At the same time, knowing that for years, producers have said they were going to try and deal with that and they just never did – there was always the same type of show with wine experts prancing through the fields of France. Those are beautiful shows, I've produced them, but very few people watch and they certainly don't sustain themselves over time. This is an adult entertainment show with a focus on wine – it's not a wine show.
I think the show can seriously have an impact on wine drinking habits in the United States, and it should. Wine drinking is becoming more and more popular. It has a long way to catch up with many countries in the world, and there's no reason people should be nervous about wine, just because there is a history around it and an academic side.
IT: How are celebrity guests selected for the show?
BM: There are a number of us working together – we work very closely with Stanley Tucci's production company, OLIVE Productions. We get a certain number of guests that are known to Stanley, but in general we are looking for a wide range of interesting people. They don't have to be Hollywood celebrities. We've had a good share of musicians, we've had a poet, writers – we just want a good group that we think will make a good mix at the tasting table.
IT: What is the process for selecting which wines will be featured?
BM: We're doing everything we can to make it a very credible process. First, our production staff selected the wine regions for the purpose of attracting a large audience. Over 80% of the wine purchased in the States actually comes from U.S. vineyards, so we wanted a large percent of the shows to be out of the U.S. wine regions. After that, we gave certain parameters to the wine associations and asked them to find 25-35 wines within their regions that fit our parameters. For example, one of the parameters was, for the most part we needed wines that were available in stores – we did not want to go out in front of millions of viewers and have 10 bottles available across the country, because we know it's going to drive people to want to get these. We also wanted a good price spread. The associations were then invited to a selection event in October where we put together independent wine panels that tasted the wines and picked their six favorites of each group of 25 or 30. Our sommeliers did participate, but it was mostly outside people – retailers, distributors, wine-knowledgeable people, and they picked the six for each show.
IT: Can you talk about working with WNET and what the experience has been like using the Tisch/WNET Studios?
BM: We are very fortunate that the timing worked out and perhaps the ideal location for us in New York City was becoming available unbeknownst to us, right at a great crossroads of American culture at Lincoln Center. It wasn't the exact physical makeup that we had initially envisioned, but that's never the case, and we ended up with what we believe is a very effective use of both the upstairs and the downstairs – we like to call it our upstairs cellar, and then the studio audience is down on the first level. We couldn't have asked for a better public television partner. It's been great working with the WNET and WLIW team, and everyone has been incredibly supportive.
IT: What is your favorite wine?
BM: They keep changing, every few months! I'm very much into wines from Chile – Chile is not featured in our first season of shows – I got outvoted!
Inside Thirteen: What first interested you in Vine Talk?
Josh Nathan: The show grabbed my attention – there's nothing else on television like this. It's an opportunity to have fun and educate at the same time. I think wine is something that needs to be made accessible to people, and I think Public Television's mission is to make complicated subjects accessible.
Having Stanley Tucci host was an interesting and positive aspect of the show design; rather than having a chef or a wine sommelier be the host of the show, instead you have someone who everybody knows, is very likeable and delightful on the air, and who has an interest in and knowledge of wine. He's not lecturing, he's discovering with the audience, and I thought that was just a terrific approach.
IT: To what degree has WNET been involved in the creative process for this show, if at all?
JN: We got involved as soon as Bruce brought the program to us. He had a format and a layout for how the show was going to work, and we reviewed it, got engaged in refining that format with him and Joe Lacarro, the director. After the pilot was shot, we got very involved in deciding how to improve the structure of the show. Neil Shapiro (WNET's president and CEO), Stephen Segaller (WNET's VP of Content), and our team watched it, put notes together, and then I sat down with the Vine Talk team and one of the sommeliers, and we restructured the show based on that pilot learning experience. Bruce came up with the concept and the format, but all of our hands were in taking it to the next spot. The folks at APT screened it as well. It was a very positive and efficient collaboration, pre-pilot and post-pilot.
IT: What has the experience been like having the show film at the new Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center?
JN: I thought it was genius! They originally were going to shoot in another space, and I suggested that they look at Lincoln Center and think about the upstairs and the downstairs. I didn't really know what their requirements were in terms of layout. They went over and spent some time in the studio and looked at the space and they came back to me and said they wanted to use the studio because it offered a way to separate the audience from the performance, which they thought would enhance the show. Now the studio audience can be talking and laughing and enjoying themselves while they watch the taping, without everyone having to be quiet while the show is going on. It also gives the guests, Stanley Tucci, and Ray Isle an intimate space to work. The way they transformed the studio was brilliant, and that's what's so cool about the Lincoln Center studio – it's a gem of a space, and I think this show really shows the potential for how much you can do in that space. It was a pleasant surprise.
IT: What is your favorite wine?
JN: I have a few – it depends on what I'm eating, and the weather. In the summertime, it can be any number of white wines. On a really hot summer day as part of a cocktail hour, I'll serve a rosé. There's an Italian wine, Dolcetto d'Alba, a wonderful red wine from Italy, that, whenever I see it on a wine list at a restaurant, it's always terrific. For white wine, there's a Picpoul grape from France that's fantastic – great with fish, chicken, crackers and cheese.
A fun tip: host a Vine Talk party – screen the show with friends and have your own wine tastings at home!

NASHVILLE — Volkswagen Chattanooga's security chief today told senators the company is "very concerned" with National Rifle Association-drafted legislation that lets gun owners store guns in their locked vehicles on employers' parking lot despite companies' wishes.
VW's general manager of security, Reid Albert, told Senate Commerce Committee members that the two bills "would take away our right to control our property and interferes with our ability to take necessary actions to ensure the safety of all our employees."
He said disagreements among VW employees have "already erupted in the parking lots."
The presence of firearms increases the potential for gun violence, creating potential problems in emotional situations such as worker dismissal, Albert said.
"Gun violence in the work place is a real and ever-present threat," Albert said. "A law which prevents an employer from addressing this situation hinders my ability to protect the lives of all employees at Volkswagen Chattanooga."
Albert and representatives of some of Tennessee's biggest employers, including Federal Express, are objecting to two bills dealing with guns on parking lots. Collectively, they said, the companies employ more than 1 million people.
The bill that came up in Commerce gives gun owners the right to sue and collect monetary awards if a business or public agency prohibits anyone — whether an employee or not — from keeping guns in their locked vehicles parked on owners' property.
It also prevents employers from asking job applicants or employees whether own, transport or keep guns in their vehicles.
Committee members delayed action until next week.
The other bill, later heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee, prohibits businesses or employers — private or public — from establishing or enforcing rules banning storage of guns in vehicles.
Action on that bill was also delayed until next week. Sen. Mike Faulk, R-Kingsport, is sponsor of both measures.
Second Amendment advocates say their "Employee Safe Commute" legislation is necessary to protect gun owners from robbery and violence.
During the Senate Judiciary Committee debate, Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, grilled Tennessee Chamber of Commerce Chairman William Ozier, an employment lawyer, about how far property rights extend.
"Can you say you can't come on my property with pink tennis shoes?" Bell asked.
They can, Ozier said, noting that people who don't like that "can choose to work for a different employer."
Bell, a social conservative, asked whether an employer can also ban someone from storing a Bible in their vehicle.
Ozier said laws prohibit employers from imposing their religion on employees, noting some evangelical employers have gotten into trouble for forced prayer meetings in the work place.
As for banning Bibles, Ozier, who has been practicing employment law for 40 years, said, "I've never heard of an employer who had such a rule."

Monarch Beach Golf Links
The Monarch Beach Golf Links, with an 18-hole championship golf course and mild year-round weather, is the perfect Orange County golf vacation destination. Designer Robert Trent Jones, Jr. modeled this Dana Point golf course after the Scottish links style course, strategically crafting the Monarch Beach course along the Pacific Ocean. The 6,600 yard course, which opened in 1983, features rolling greens and tight fairways, which provide a challenge for golfers of any skill level.
Award-Winning Golf in Southern California
In 2010, Golf Magazine named it one of the premier golf resorts in the area. Our Orange County golf course was ranked No. 17 on the Top 20 U.S. Golf Courses, Readers' Choice by Celebrated Living in 2009, and No. 3 on Orange County's 18 Can't Miss Golf Holes in 2008 by Orange Coast Magazine. The resort also features one of the Top 100 Golf Shops, according to Golf World Magazine.
Online tee times | Monarch Beach Golf Links Website
- Open to the public year-round
- Club 19 restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and Sunday brunch with spectacular golf course and ocean views
- Snack bar and beverage cart service
- Golf shop offers top lines of golf merchandise

- Large selection of rental clubs
- Golf lessons and golf pro
- 24-hour reservations service
- Groups ranging in size from 12 to 144 can be accommodated for tournaments and special events
Tight fairways and small undulating greens make the course an enjoyable challenge for all levels of play. PGA Pro, Tom Watson, who competed in the 2001 Hyundai Team Matches with top tour leaders from the PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA circuits, compared the greens to those at Augusta National.

Houston Texans fans can only hope that this is a good omen: The Associated Press—and that awesome photo, above, from Beyoncé's Tumblr —confirms that the Houstonian will be the halftime entertainment at Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, in New Orleans.
As the AP's Meskin Fekadu originally reported , "a source familiar with the Super Bowl told the Associated Press the Grammy-winning diva will take the stage at the halftime show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because that person wasn't authorized to publicly reveal the information."
As Fekadu noted, Beyonc é previously graced the big game as the national anthem singer in 2004, when Super Bowl XXXVIII took place at Houston's Reliant Stadium.
The AP writer was also quick to speculate that, given the Super Bowl halftime tradition of big guest stars, Beyonc é's performance "could likely include husband-rapper Jay-Z and her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams."
Entertainment Weekly 's Erin Strecker also played the speculation game , adding Tina Turner and a Michael Jackson hologram (!) to the wish list, while joking that the game would be the perfect time for Blue Ivy's performing debut.
"I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Destiny's Child are the only contemporaries that have a shot at an appearance," Strecker conceded.
But there was also other Houston/Super Bowl-related news on Tuesday.
As John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported, the city, the Texans and Reliant are in the running to host Super Bowl LI (that's "51") in 2017.
Miami (technically Miami Gardens) and San Francisco (technically Santa Clara) are the two cities in the mix for Super Bowl L in 2016, and whichever market doesn't get that game will go up against Houston for the next year's contest.
As McClain noted, Houston also held the game in 1974, and bid unsuccessfully to host it in 2009, 2010, and last year. Reliant might have tried to get the bigger-deal fiftieth game, but the city is already hosting the NCAA men's basketball Final Four in 2016.
"If we don't [get 51], I do think being selected as one of two finalists bodes well for us getting another one," Houston Texans owner Bob McNair told McClain.
Left out of the mix in all of this is Arlington/North Texas (We said North Texas! Are you reading this, Tim Rogers ?).
According to Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram , a bid to bring the game back into Cowboys Stadium, which hosted the chilly, seating-problem plagued Super Bowl XLV in 2010, is going to wait for a few years.
Wrote Williams:
Roger Staubach, chairman of the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee, has said he expects the area to host the game again in 2017, '18 or '19. But the [NFL] committee's decision Tuesday means North Texas won't host its second Super Bowl until at least 2018, and it seems unlikely the committee would put back-to-back Super Bowls in Texas.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took the high road in a statement, saying:
We support the committee's judgment in considering a brand new facility in the Bay Area, as well as the South Florida market - which has hosted the most Super Bowls - as logical sites for the 50th game. The selection process has changed since North Texas was chosen for Super Bowl XLV by a vote of the ownership, and although we did not make a bid in this current committee process, we will always be interested in having Super Bowls at Cowboys Stadium for years to come.
We wish the 49ers, Dolphins and Texans, and their communities, the very best in their pursuit of Super Bowls L and LI. They are all great places to have the game."
The NFL owners will select the 2016 and 2017 sites in May, after which, as Williams wrote, "North Texas should fall into the queue...."
Which means the real question remains: Which is gonna happen first: the Super Bowl gets back to Cowboys Stadium, or the Cowboys get back to the Super Bowl?

text: On February 8, 1994, at 1745 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 152, N49157, lost engine power during the takeoff initial climb at the Corona, California, airport. The aircraft collided with trees in a dry marshy area off the departure end of the runway during the subsequent power off forced landing. The aircraft was operated by PDZ Aviation Flight School of Corona, California, and was engaged in a local area dual instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft incurred substantial damage. Neither the certificated commercial pilot flight instructor nor the 9-hour dual primary student were injured. The flight originated at the Corona airport on the day of the mishap at about 1630 hours.In his statement, the instructor reported that after about a 1- hour flight to practice primary flight maneuvers they returned to the airport for some touch-and-go traffic pattern operations. The instructor said that on the takeoff portion of the third touch-and-go, the engine quit when the aircraft was at about 200 feet above ground level (agl). There was insufficient runway remaining to affect a landing and the instructor set up a glide to a marshy area beyond the runway. The aircraft collided with trees and then nosed into the marsh.Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors examined the aircraft at the accident site and reported finding about 15 gallons of fuel distributed evenly in both fuel tanks.After recovery from the accident site, the aircraft and engine were examined by an FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic. In his report, the mechanic said that visual inspection of the engine revealed no unusual conditions. Rotation of the crankshaft produced normal range compression in all cylinders and valve train continuity. Magneto timing was tested at 20 degrees on both, and rotation produced sparks at each spark plug.An attempt was made to start the engine for a ground test run without success. The carburetor was then disassembled for inspection and found to contain about 60 percent water, dirt, and other unidentifiable contaminants. The carburetor was then reassembled and installed on the engine. The engine started on the first attempt, ran smoothly, and accelerated through full rpm with no hesitation.

Tennessee Congressman Scott DesJarlaisPhoto by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
NASHVILLE — Facing a newly redrawn congressional district and likely a GOP primary challenge from Middle Tennessee, U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., of Jasper today announced he has more than $436,000 in cash on hand.
DesJarlais said his Federal Election Commission disclosure for the fourth quarter will show he has raised more than $606,000 so far in the 2012 election cycle.
The report will also show the DesJarlais campaign raised $154,127 for the fourth quarter — which the campaign said is his best fundraising quarter to date.
His FEC report shows donors including leadership political action committees affiliated with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. Each contributed $5,000. Prosperity PAC, associated with House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., gave $5,000.
Kock Industries PAC, which is associated with the controversial Republican conservative industrialists David and Charles Koch, gave $2,500 to DesJarlais.
Jimmy Haslam III, the brother of Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, gave $3,500 while Jimmy Haslam's wife, Susan, gave $2,000 to DesJarlais. Colleen Welch, Vanderbilt University's director of nursing and wife of Republican developer and fundraiser Ted Welch, gave $850.
In a news release, DesJarlais said said he ran for Congress "because I wanted the people of Tennessee's Fourth Congressional district to have an independent, conservative voice in Washington."
Under Republican redistricting plans to be voted on in the General Assembly this week, the sprawling 4th District changes substantially, losing a number of rural Middle Tennessee counties and picking up Rutherford County, a major Nashville suburb containing Murfreesboro.
It also would pick up Rhea County and part of Bradley County.
State Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Bill Ketron, R-Murfeesboro, is weighing challenging DesJarlais, a freshman who unexpectedly trounced Democratic incumbent Lincoln Davis in 2010.
State Sen. Jim Tracy, R-Shelbyville, could also run.

text: Possibly the first true moment of genius from Paul Bley – a key indie standout after a few years working for bigger American labels! By the time of this early ESP album, Paul Bley was no stranger to the American scene – having recorded a few records for different labels in the 50s, and making some surprise appearances on other sessions in the early part of the 60s. But by the time of this mid 60s set, Bley was really coming into his own – working in a style that would have a huge influence on the style of jazz piano for the next few decades, and which was one of the first strong statements of modernism from the Canadian scene. Here, he's working with Steve Swallow on bass and Barry Altschul on percussion in a trio format, working through a great batch of tracks by then wife Carla – like "Ida", "Start", "Closer", "Batterie", and "Sideways In Mexico" – as well as versions of Ornette Coleman's "Crossroads", Annette Peacock's "Cartoon", and his own "Figfoot".

"Nothing's easy in Easy Company"Sgt. Rock is a long-running DC Comics war feature, set in World War II. The titular character first appeared in "Our Army at War" #81 (April, 1959), created by writer Bob Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert. Rock became DC's most prominent recurring war character, in a genre where one-shot stories with non-recurring characters were the norm.The character of Frank Rock himself developed in fits and starts, with his first appearances essentially being prototypes for the character who would ultimately be developed. The character continued being featured in the Our Army At War series. By the late 1960s, Rock's logo on the cover had become much larger than that of the comic book itself, which was finally renamed to simply Sgt. Rock in 1977. That series continued until 1988, but DC continues to publish occasional graphic novels, miniseries, and one-shots featuring Rock.The series wasn't just about Rock, but Sgt. Rock and the "Combat-Happy Joes of Easy Company," and their adventures in the European Theater of Operations. A lot of guys went in and out of Easy Company, but a few prominent repeating characters include:
— Sgt. Frank Rock

Located in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley near the border of Mexico, Su Clinica Familiar's six clinics serve a wide range of healthcare needs. At Su Clinica Familiar, no patient is turned away, regardless of ability to pay. The Clinic has 500 employees and treats thousands of patients daily. Limited U.S. government funding helps support the organization. So do 300 desktops and 30 servers running primarily in a Microsoft Windows 2003 environment. An IT director and a systems engineer are responsible for keeping this environment secure.
Managing mixture of security products took more than 20 hours each week
"Before we turned to McAfee, we were relying on a hodge podge of security solutions to protect us from viruses and other threats," says Dave Hausmann, the systems engineer responsible for Su Clinica Familiar's day-to-day IT security. "We had so many different applications, none of which did the job they were supposed to, and managing them all was just too complicated and time-consuming."
Hausmann estimates that he spent 20 hours each week just on maintenance and upgrading of the various solutions. "Twenty hours a week doesn't even count time spent dealing with systems crashes and other issues caused by some of the applications," says Hausmann.
"All-in-one" security package with central management
Hausmann was familiar with McAfee and its McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) central management console because he had used McAfee Anti-Virus software with ePO at a number of other places he had worked prior to joining Su Clinica Familiar. "I knew we needed to centralize management and ePO does just that so I decided to test the McAfee Total Protection suite," says Hausmann. "When I saw that McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business had all the security we need now, plus the functionality we'll need in the near future, all in one package, all managed by ePO, that pretty much guaranteed who won our business."
Total Protection for Secure Business provides a streamlined, enterprise-quality package designed specifically for medium-sized businesses. Total Protection for Secure business protects against the five threat vectors: endpoints, data, network, email and web with comprehensive endpoint protection, encryption, device control, and email and web filtering. Su Clinica Familiar has fully deployed desktop and server protection, with the exception of host intrusion prevention, and plans to roll out email and Web gateway security in the near future, as soon as it implements a Microsoft Exchange server. Encryption and device control will follow.
Much easier, simpler security management
With McAfee ePO, one central console manages all of the ToPS functionality for Su Clinica Familar — from monitoring virus interceptions and distributing new .DAT files to implementing email and web filtering policies. On the customizable ePO dashboard, graphs and charts show at-a-glance information, such as what percentage of systems have out-of-date .DAT files.
Hausmann set up ePO to automatically email him periodic built-in reports on numbers of viruses intercepted, and so on, as well as critical event reports — such as when more than a specified number of files or systems is out of compliance or has been infected.
"Controlling everything from a central management console makes my job so much easier," notes Hausmann. "McAfee ePO is so easy to use I can set up profiles and tasks and then hand it off to others to monitor, which frees me up even more to work on non-security-related projects."
"With McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business, I spend an average of five hours a week — instead of 20 — managing security. What's more, our entire environment is more secure."Dave Hausmann
Systems Engineer, Su Clinica Familiar
Slashing time spent on IT security by 75 percent and improving stability
Ease of security administration translates into huge time savings. "With McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business, I spend an average of five hours a week — instead of 20 — managing security," says Hausmann. "What's more, our entire environment is more secure."
Su Clinica Familiar's systems are also much more stable, with minimal downtime, ever since it switched to McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business. "Before, we had system crashes multiple times each day caused by some of our anti-virus products, which resulted in patients waiting longer while medical and administrative staff resorted to a manual process," says Hausmann. "Now system crashes caused by security applications are nonexistent. As a result, we can serve our patients better."
Safer Web surfing and reduced bandwidth
One of Hausmann's favorite features of the Total Protection for Secure Business suite is McAfee SiteAdvisor®, which blocks websites the Clinic specifies as unsafe, as well as sites based on reputation data that McAfee is constantly updating. "SiteAdvisor keeps our end users from visiting sites that might let in spyware and Trojans and the like," says Hausmann. "We've found that by blocking such sites, SiteAdvisor also frees up network bandwidth."
Single vendor cost savings
When comparing the total price of a variety of separate security products to the price of the desktop and server protection Su Clinica Familiar now has with McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business, Hausmann thinks the two are comparable. However, when he adds in the additional email and Web gateway and data protection functionality that the Clinic has yet to take advantage of — including encryption and device control — the cost savings from going with McAfee rather than a host of security vendors is substantial. "Even if we didn't add the other functionality and didn't experience any cost savings, the time savings alone makes it worth going with McAfee," says Hausmann.
In the future, Su Clinica Familiar plans to use the encryption functionality in the Total Protection for Secure Business Suite to enable its doctors to access data remotely. At present, strict rules forbid anyone from removing any patient or other confidential data from Su Clinica Familiar premises. With encrypted laptops, the risk of such data falling into the wrong hands would be greatly minimized. Clinic personnel will be able to take work home with them, or to answer patient-related calls from home while viewing relevant data on the laptop screen — something they cannot do now.
Peace of mind to focus on other issues
"The biggest benefit of McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business is time savings — it saves me 15 hours every week — but peace of mind goes hand in hand," says Hausmann. "Knowing that we are being protected on so many different fronts allows me to focus on other things besides security."

Delray Beach city commissioners voted this week to take $130,000 from the public art fund to help close a $3.2 million deficit, prompting art lovers and Public Art Board members to show up at City Hall in protest.
Dana Donaty, chairwoman of the Public Art Advisory Board, said the city has earned an important place in Palm Beach County as an arts and cultural destination. To have funds for public art appropriated for other uses is a step backward.

Texas teacher finds bag, returns more than $200K
Updated On: Jun 19 2013 01:21:46 PM CDT
An unemployed teacher who thought a bag on a road carried a dirty diaper found more than $200,000 and returned the cash to a bank.
Chase bank officials in return gave Candace Scott a $500 credit gift card.
Scott on Tuesday morning was driving and saw a clear bag with a blue zipper. She says it looked like money inside but then thought the bag had a soiled diaper.
Scott found two bundles of hundred dollar bills in the bag with a Chase label and then drove to a nearby bank branch.
Scott guessed the bag had about $200,000. She says the branch manager responded "or more."
A Chase spokesman praised Scott for returning the money but declined further comment about the cash.

The Hicksville community lost one of its bravest members last week, Honorary Fire Department Chief William Boyd.
Boyd joined the Hicksville Fire Department in August 1959 as a member of Ladder Company 6. Over his 54 years of service, he served in various roles, including 2nd Lieutenant and 1st Lieutenant of Company 6, before being elected Captain in 1970 and 1971. After years as an officer, Boyd served the department under various chiefs committees, including co-Chairman of House to House, chairman of the Department of Welfare, and chairman of Department Budget. In addition, he was on various Company 6 Captain's Committees and was elected Captain of the Fire Police for 2001 and 2002. In 2009, Boyd was granted the title of Honorary Chief as he celebrated 50 years with the Hicksville Fire Department. Honorary Chief Charles DiStefano worked out of Firehouse Station 3 in Hicksville with Boyd. He remembers Boyd as being a gentlemen and very family oriented.
"He was a very good man," DiStefano said. "He said what he thought and was an honest person."
Boyd was well liked by his fellow firemen. When company members would see him, they would hit their chest with their hand over their heart and say "Hail Willy."
"I don't know how it started but company members would say it all the time when they saw him," DiStefano said.
Mike Galdo remembers Boyd as being his first captain.
"He was an excellent captain and taught me a lot. He served during World War 2 and his leadership style was based on the military. He was very fair and we all respected someone like that," Galdo says.
He was in his mid-eighties when he passed away in late September. He was survived by Agnes, his wife of over 60 years, his children Carol, Nancy and William Jr., grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Joe Biden Liberates Google Maps from Dick Cheney's Pixelated Oppression
Feast your freedom-loving eyes on the above image, America! That's a Google Maps screenshot of the Naval Observatory, which for the past eight years has been the lair residence of burrower demon former Vice President Dick Cheney.
You've never seen it before, and you'll never guess why…
Google Maps' satellite imagery has shown us clear shots of the White House, the Capitol and even the Pentagon. But one thing it never displayed properly was Dick Cheney's house.
The Vice President's quarters, located at the Naval Observatory since 1974, have been pixelated ever since Google has given the public an easy way to check them out—coincidentally ever since Dick Cheney has lived there. This censorship wasn't by Google but those supplying Google the source images, the U.S. Geological Survey.
Now that we have a new Vice President, one who will never vanish to an undisclosed location (unless it's readily accessible by commuter rail), the U.S. Geological Survey has begun providing clear images of the Observatory to Google, and therefore the world.
Of course, this is Joe Biden we're talking about.
Once he finds out how many people are looking at satellite pictures of his house, he'll start mowing gaffes in the lawn.

This is amazing when used as a setting powder on top of your favorite foundation. It keeps shine at bay for hours! I use a powder brush and apply a light coat over my foundation. Flawless and Shine-free. It lasts forever and it is worth every penny of the $34.

This powder foundation works really well for me. I apply with a kabuki brush and usually use it on top of moisturizer and BB cream (skin79 pink label). This leaves me with matte but not dry skin with an even skintine that still looks natural. In a pinch I can use it alone and apply with the sponge, but that gives a heavier, drier finish. I have pretty sensitive and very acne-prone skin, and this doesn't irritate me or clog my pores at all.
This lasts through the workday for me, but if I'm going out in the evening I do need to touch it up, especially on my forehead. Shade 200 is perfect for my pale, peachy skin.
The only negative to me is that I blow through this soooo fast. I use it up much faster than any of my other products. It's expensive to start with, so frequent repurchasing is painful, but it's worth it to me for the effect it gives.

I'm kind of on a love-hate relationship with the duo mat powder. I have it in 207 (golden beige) at the moment though i tend to fluctuate between 205 (medium beige) and 207. I have oily skin (especially my T-zone, it's a slip n slide) and am acne prone. When first applied, it does indeed look very matte and it feels very light. Though, within a few hours I'm pretty shiny again. So the promise of "long-lasting" doesn't live up. In the few months I've used it I haven't broken out (which a lot of brands have made me do). Also, you don't get very much product. I'm the kind of girl who can make a bottle of liquid foundation last almost a year, and my powder foundation at least 6 months, but within just 2 months, I already hit pan. Would I repurchase? For now...until I can find a better alternative.
Love this powder foundation! I just made the switch from MAC's Studio Fix (which I have been using for the past 4 years). I was always shiney with the SF. But with MUFE - I stay matte and my skin looks more refreshed!

I really love this powder. I sampled SO many before buying. I found other powders to be too sheer, too thick, too cakey, and they would settle into pores and lines making them more obvious. I became convinced my oily skin just hated all powders... until this one came along. The coverage is just right: it goes on smooth and light, but is buildable. I can use it over a liquid foundation for serious coverage and incredible staying powder, or I can wear it alone. Even when I wear it alone it covers beautifully and lasts. It never cakes or settles. It gives my skin a lovely texture and keeps the oilies at bay. The colour (200 - Beige Opalescence) matches my NARS Sheer Matte Foundation in Gobi very well. I've had this for almost a year now and I wear it often, but I still more than half left. I will be repurchasing when I (eventually!) run out.
Excellent face powder for oily skins. Sets foundation or can be used alone for light coverage. Very good at absorbing oil throughout the day with minor touch ups. I have not had a problem with the powder darkening as it absorbs the oil. I have tried Benefits Hello Flawless and MAC Blot Powder, and prefer this for the colour match to my skin. I will definitely repurchase.
After searching high and low for a good powder foundation, I think I may have found it with this product. I have tried Studio fix, Revlon, Cover fx and countless other foundations, but this finally does the trick for me. The undertones in this makeup are dead on for me. I tend to have a warm orange undertone, not red and not yellow. All the powders seemed to be either too red or too yellow. This is PERFECT. When the MUA tried it on me I was shocked, maybe because I was used to being disappointed. I came home and tried it on (because sometimes the lighting can make a BIG difference) and it was perfect again. It was so natural looking. I am so relieved. I also has not caused any breakouts. I do wish it was a little cheaper, but sometimes you have to pay the price for something that works. I am an NW45 in Mac foundation, and 216 in MUFE.

This is admittedly my very first powder foundation. I got the colour 209 which makes me look like an oompa loompa within a couple of hours. This can be confusing, when first applied, this goes on chalky, powdery and heavy. A few hours later, I would turn into an oil slick. Ick. I don't get all the love. I've tried using a kabuki brush and wet sponge, dry sponge, whatever. It's still dry, chalky, yet it makes me greasy in a few hours. The coverage is pretty good but it slides off very quickly. Will never repurchase.
I don't know whether to love this or hate this. I used to be a huge MAC addict and only used studiofix powder (I'm an NC45). I switched to MUFE in early September. When the makeup artist at Sephora applied it on me, I liked it a lot. It was combined with the MUFE primer. The makeup felt very lightweight compared to MAC, barely there and looked natural.
In the morning, I apply my moisturizer and primer, followed by this powder and MAC mineralized concealer. I don't apply bronzer and instead use a mineralized bronzed blush by MAC. The time of completion is 6:30 A.M.
By 12 P.M., I'm pretty shiny and have to use MAC pressed blot powder and blotting sheets. I have to again retouch by 5 P.M.
I don't recall having to retouch so much with my MAC...it stayed pretty matte throughout the day. The only pro that this has compared to MAC is that it offers a very natural color, whereas MAC leaves me looking a bit grayish. Also, this offers better buildable coverage.
I've also noticed that I this causes me to break out in tiny bumps..my MAC didn't do that, which may be surprising. I hope that my skin can just get used to this powder..
I'm almost running out, and I'm not sure if i'll repurchase it. This lasts way shorter than MAC's studiofix and is way more expensive.
More reviews by thaonlylakergirl
I haven't actually purchased this yet but tried it on and received a sample to take home. I have chocolate colored skin so I tried on #218/"Chocolate". It was a good match but a just a itty bitty on the red side. I actually don't mind a little red because without it, powders tend to look gray/ashy on dark skin. Also, it feels a little on the heavy side. Overall, I do like it and will decide this week if I want to purchase it.
UPDATE-- I purchased this and love it. I narrowed my favorite powders down to this and Clinique Stay Matte in Sienna. This provides a little more coverage for my discolorations and it controls shines a lot better than Clinique's. Also, I've had it on for a few hours and no oxidation so far.... think I may have found the ONE!!
2nd UPDATE- LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! This powder does not change colors. My only minor complaint is the two sided sponge applicator leaves your fingers a little dirty. I will repurchase this product.
3rd UPDATE- I still like this product but the coverage too heavy. It also flies everywhere when you apply it. I prefer the Pro Finish powder by MUFE. T

Navy Yard shooting victims had long careers there
WASHINGTON (AP) — A dozen people died in a shooting rampage Monday at the Washington Navy Yard. It was the deadliest attack at a domestic military installation since November 2009, when an Army psychiatrist killed 13 people and wounded 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas. Early Tuesday, the stories of some of those who died started to surface.
Michael Arnold, 59, of Lorton, Va., was a Navy veteran and avid pilot who was building a light airplane at his home, said his uncle, Steve Hunter.
"It would have been the first plane he ever owned," Hunter said in a telephone interview from Rochester, Mich., Arnold's hometown. "It's partially assembled in his basement."
Hunter said his nephew retired from the Navy as a commander or lieutenant commander and had previously been stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. He worked at the Navy Yard on a team that designed vessels such as the USS Makin Island, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship used by the Marine Corps.
Arnold and his wife, Jolanda, had been married for more than 30 years, Hunter said. They had two grown sons, Eric and Christopher.
Hunter said Arnold returned to Michigan for Labor Day to visit his 80-year-old mother, Patricia.
"He was a loving son of his mother and his wife, and great father to his kids," said Hunter. "It's tragic. How can you get up in the morning and go to work and have that happen? How do bad things like that happen to good people?"
Sylvia Frasier, 53, had worked at Naval Sea Systems Command as an information assurance manager since 2000, according to a LinkedIn profile in her name.
Frasier studied at Strayer University, earning a bachelor of science in computer information systems in 2000 and a master's in information systems in 2002. Her duties at NAVSEA included providing policy and guidance on network security, and assuring that all computer systems operated by the headquarters met Department of Navy and Department of Defense requirements.
She also led efforts "to establish and implement procedures to investigate security violations or incidents," according to the profile.
Her brother, James Frasier, declined comment Monday night.
Kathleen Gaarde, 63, of Woodbridge, Va., was a financial analyst who supported the organization responsible for the shipyards, her husband, Douglass, wrote in an email to the AP early Tuesday.
Douglass Gaarde declined to speak, but wrote that he was unable to sleep.
"Today my life partner of 42 years (38 of them married) was taken from me, my grown son and daughter, and friends," he wrote. "We were just starting to plan our retirement activities and now none of that matters. It hasn't fully sunk in yet but I know I already dearly miss her."
Madelyn Gaarde, of Grand Junction, Colo., who's married to Douglass Gaarde's brother, said her sister- and brother-in-law met while he was studying electrical engineering at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Douglass Gaarde, an Illinois native, also worked for the Navy until his retirement last year, his sister-in-law said.
"She was a very gracious person and very welcoming," she said of Kathleen Gaarde.
Frank Kohler, 50, was a past president of the Rotary Club in Lexington Park, Md. As such, he proudly held the title of "King Oyster" at the annual festival celebrating the region's signature bivalve the third weekend of each October.
"He walks around with a crown and robe and gives out candy," said Bob Allen, Kohler's former boss at Lockheed Martin in southern Maryland. "In fact, he was in charge of the beer stand. I used to have that job and when I left, I handed it off to him."
The married father of two college-age daughters had driven up to the Washington Navy Yard for a meeting Monday when the shootings occurred, friends told Allen. Allen said Kohler had taken over for him as site manager for the defense contractor, but he was unsure what business his friend had at the Navy Yard.
Allen said Kohler, a graduate of Pennsylvania's Slippery Rock College, was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and an avid, though not overly skilled, golfer.
"He could probably shoot in the low 90s," Allen said in a telephone interview Tuesday from Bradenton, Fla. When Allen retired, Kohler picked his gift — a gold pocket watch with the inscription, "From your friends in Lockheed Martin to help you putt into the future."
Kohler lived on the water with his wife, Michelle, an employee at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Allen said his friend loved to boat and fish, and went on frequent hunting trips to Canada.
"A great family man, a Christian, and a great friend," he said. "It just doesn't seem possible. I mean, you hear about these things all the time … But when you know somebody, it just makes it all the worse … It's a Huge loss for southern Maryland."
Kenneth Proctor, 46, worked as a civilian utilities foreman at the Navy Yard, his ex-wife, Evelyn Proctor, said. He spent 22 years working for the federal government, Evelyn Proctor said.
The Waldorf, Md., woman spoke to Kenneth early Monday morning before he left for work at the Navy Yard. It was his regular call. The high school sweethearts talked every day, even after they divorced this year after 19 years of marriage, and they shared custody of their two teenage sons.
She was in shock about her ex-husband's death.
"He just went in there in the morning for breakfast," Proctor said Monday night of the building where the shooting took place. "He didn't even work in the building. It was a routine thing for him to go there in the morning for breakfast, and unfortunately it happened."
Proctor said she tried to call her ex-husband throughout the day and drove to the Navy Yard on Monday afternoon, fearing the worst. After waiting for about three hours alongside other relatives concerned about their loved ones, she was informed around 8 p.m. that he was among the dead. Officials did not detail the circumstances of his shooting, she said.
The Proctors married in 1994 and divorced this year. Their older son, Kenneth Proctor Jr., 17, enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school this spring and is in basic training in Oklahoma. Their younger son, Kendull Proctor, is 15.
"We were still very close. It wasn't a bitter divorce," Evelyn Proctor said. "We still talked every day, and we lived 10 minutes away from each other."
Kenneth Proctor was born and raised in Charles County, Md., where he lived until his death.
"He loved the Redskins. Loved his kids — a very loving, caring, gentle person. His kids meant a lot to him," Evelyn Proctor said.
Associated Press writers Amanda Kell, Ben Nuckols and Allen G. Breed contributed to this report.

What I need to know is whats with haste? with getting or leave it as low as possible. I know crit/mastery/agil are the top 3 (not in that order). What about hit cap? Currently 3.54% hit, I have been told not to worry about it since its just a GCD. Also I may need to re-work my rotation so any help on that will be appreciated.
