With school now behind them, the duo return with sophomore album Tracer, an even deeper, mind-altering dance album that finds them ditching their samplers and progressing more towards a completely amorphous sound. By creating their music live, they allow themselves the freedom to open up their sound world to unlimited possibilities. Guest vocalists like Panda Bear, Romanthony and Laurel Halo sound as though they deserve co-production credits, as Teengirl Fantasy definitely wrote these songs with the work of their muses in mind. But Tracer is a complete LP that's unified yet fluid, providing a full club experience for those who choose not to leave their bedrooms.From the outset, were there any particular goals you had in mind for Tracer coming off of 7AM?Logan Takahashi: The only real, conscious goal we both had going into this was to try to make something that was really cohesive as a single piece. After already having experienced releasing an album, the flow and sequencing was something we were more aware of going into this one.What made you choose to go sample-free on Tracer? What was the hardest part of doing it without samples?We became more and more interested in digging deeper into our gear and using the hardware itself as a source of inspiration, rather than another pre-produced piece of music. In a lot of ways, it's more freeing to have complete control over every stage of composition. There is a lot less baggage, reference-wise, to deal with.Where did the idea come from to bring in more guest vocalists?Although we are not singers ourselves, we understand that the human voice is special and that people respond to it in a special way.How did you decide on whom to work with?Every collaboration was pretty organic, in that we knew the singers beforehand, except for Romanthony. We'd known Noah [Lennox, Panda Bear] from touring with Animal Collective and opening for him in NYC, so it was just a matter of emailing him. Laurel was recording and living in the same place where we were making the album, and we were roommates for the majority of the past year, so that was also really natural. Kelela, we were introduced via mutual friends and hit it off really well on a personal level. Roman took the most amount of proactive reaching out, but even then it seemed like he was genuinely inspired to write something for the track.Were these purely vocal collaborations or did they contribute to the production as well?They're pretty purely vocal, although Noah sent back his vocals already processed with some sort of delay/pitch shift/tuner that made it sound very Panda Bear. We also had a little bit more back and forth with Laurel about production choices because we're all together in the same room. However, all of the instrumentals were basically finished before the vocalists heard them.How do you find the process of working with vocalists? Does it differ much from making instrumentals?It's great, just another mind to collaborate with. We left it very open for the vocalists to come up with their melodies and lyrics, so it was always exciting getting their tracks back and hearing how they contributed/changed the feel of the song.Your music is very amorphous. What appeals to you about constantly shifting the shape of your songs instead of sinking into a set pattern?This album especially is way more teleological than our last. Every track develops a lot and moves along very linearly, and this is kind of what the title, Tracer, is referring to. I think we like to play with the expectations of repetition that so much electronic music makes use of. Even with music that is really minimal and repetitive, the excitement all happens in the slight changes that occur over this suggested idea of repetition.It's hard to miss the '90s R&B influence on "Do It," with Romanthony. The last couple years has seen so many producers fall in love with that particular era and genre of music. What is it that appeals to you?For us, the real R&B track of the album is "EFX," featuring the singer Kelela. For "Do It," we were really inspired by gospel house, specifically the track "Beautiful Life" by Terrence Parker.You both perform and compose your music live, which isn't something many electronic producers do. Why take the difficult route? How much improvisation is used?For us, it'd just a lot more interesting to make music on something that is more tactile and analog. It's just one less layer of separation between the musical ideas and their creation. For our live sets, we have sort of templates for each song where we know certain changes will happen at certain points, but have space to move around in between. This makes it more interesting for us and, hopefully, the audience.Read a review of Tracer here. GET IT!

Intro to Electronic Arts: Coding, Hacks, + Space
Course No. TIM 213-313-413 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Marc Tomko
This course is designed for both the inexperienced and experienced person interested in experimenting with computing to create work that engages, alters or activates a space. The approach for the class will be based on computer enthusiasts' notion of "hacking". Hacking in this context is an experimental approach and mode of thinking, taking existing technologies and finding new or extended uses to apply these to. Existing computer scripts will be distributed with instruction and one-on-one guidance on how to alter these to new purposes. People with little or no knowledge of programming will be enabled to create computer based work quickly. Instruction will also cover finding new uses for hardware and creating custom interfaces that allow viewers to experience and interact with art works in a variety of ways. Some possible directions for the work made in this class will be interactive video projection, interactive sound works, expanded gaming environments, video and audio synthesis, circuit bending sound instruments, computer program generated animation and program generated high-resolution still images for large format printing. At the end of the class everyone will have resolved work ready to show.

All photos submitted in the month of October will be published in the Journal.
The Turlock Fire Department responded to a total of 457 incidents during the month of September. These included a total of 295 emergency medical service calls.

Approximately 49 Turlock Irrigation District customers were without power for as much as 45 hours over the weekend, following a breakdown of the District's longstanding policy to address outages.

All creatures big and small, of all faiths and feathers, are invited to Light of Christ Lutheran Church this Sunday for the annual Blessing of the Animals.
When a community comes together for one purpose mighty things can happen. When that community is Hilmar and the cause is cancer research and education the result is record-breaking fundraising for the American Cancer Society through its Relay for Life event.
One little bear from Turlock could make a big splash on the Internet.
It's that time of year again when people are asked to roll up their sleeves and feel the slight pinch of the needle as flu vaccinations roll out across the country.
The United States Department of Agriculture announced funding on Monday for the 2012 Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. California received more than $18 million out of the total $55 million awarded nationwide.
Every day the nurses of Memorial Medical Center's Cardiac Telemetry ward take care of patients with all kinds of heart disease.
Pediatric heart disease is an issue close to the hearts of Turlock parents Jimmy and Monica Woods. When their son Tanner was born on Dec. 13, 2010, he suffered from an extremely rare condition called right isomerism. The syndrome saw Tanner born with his heart on the wrong side of the body, arteries attached backwards, half of his heart larger than the other, and no spleen – among other issues.
Turlock's rebuilt Carnegie Arts Center, a building which seamlessly integrates the historic, burnt-down shell of a Carnegie Library with a sparkling new, multi-million dollar wing, has been recognized with a San Joaquin Valley Blueprint Award for historic revitalization.

For the past 32 years, local Realtors and their affiliates have held a Can Tree Breakfast in an effort to raise money to feed hungry families during the holidays. Although the literal Christmas tree-shaped pyramid of canned food - that some years reached as high as 25 feet - no longer adorns the entrance to the long-since closed Albertsons grocery store, the spirit of giving has remained strong.
While the City of Turlock has been a member of the Stanislaus Business Alliance since 1994, on Tuesday the two entities entered into an official agreement with the sanctioning of the Turlock City Council.
While individuals across town will be rushing to the grocery store in upcoming days to purchase a turkey in time for Thanksgiving, a few lucky locals won't need to stress as the winner of the City of Turlock's annual Turkey Trot fun run will be granted the festive bird as a victory prize.
The only thing made more apparent than the Salvation Army's love of bells at the 18th annual Kettle Kick-Off Luncheon was the generosity of the community as they donated over $46,000 for the local Salvation Army Corps.
Peninsula Plastics Recycling in Turlock was selected among more than 50 applicants to receive a $1 million grant which will bring new equipment and nine new positions to the company.
As Thanksgiving approaches Foster Farms is taking steps to ensure that more families will enjoy the holiday by gathering around the table for a turkey dinner, by donating to food banks up and down the West Coast.
The facilities and landscape of the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds will soon receive a much-needed makeover, made possible by a generous donation and new partnership.

Quest For Broadband in Rural Communities Continues
Representatives of InfoLab21 have taken part in the international broadband conference at Rheged in Penrith on 18th September 2010.
MP Rory Stewart is backing the Cumbrian community in their quest for broadband access; "Penrith and the Border communities are determined to get high-speed Next Generation broadband Access (NGA) for most people and a reliable 2MB connection for everyone by the end of 2012.
"This is vital for a constituency with a higher proportion of self-employed people than anywhere else in Britain. It will also be very important for us as the most sparsely populated constituency in England, with very poor access to many services."
Colin McLaughlin, Technology Transfer Manager at Infolab21 was at the event;
"The Penrith and the Border Broadband Conference was a very interesting event which brought together CEOs from large global providers and local community organisations to discuss the provision of next generation access across some of the most challenging terrain in the country.
"The conference was opened by the Hon Ed Vaizey who hinted that the Government would use legislation in order to open up access to existing public infrastructure, such as the CLEO (Cumbria and Lancashire Education Online) network, as well as the ducts, poles and other physical infrastructure that BT have in the region. The concept is to empower local communities so that they can go ahead and develop their own solutions."
InfoLab21's RuralConnect Living Lab team, Drs Keith Mitchell, Nick Race and Johnathan Ishmael, were also at the event. The Living Lab team have previously provided wireless broadband across the Lancashire village of Wray.
Colin was interviewed by Computer Weekly at the event for their online video (see link below).
A full account of the day can be found on the conference website below.

Here at PolicyMap, there always seems to be buzz about some new dataset or update, and this November we're buzzing with housing data. Following on the heels of the HUD Multifamily and CDBG Eligibility updates, we're excited to announce that the USDA Rural Development Multi-Family dataset is up-to-date. The reason that we're really excited is that this update comes after a fairly lengthy wait – nearly seven years, in fact.
The USDA Rural Development Multi-Family dataset contains the locations of multi-family complexes that receive loans and grants that can be used by very low- to moderate-income families to subsidize mortgages and make structural improvements. The dataset contains the addresses of these properties, as well as the name of management company, total number units (i.e., subsidized or otherwise) by number of bedrooms, and complex type (e.g., elderly and disabled, families).
We first added this data in 2007, as one of the earliest datasets on PolicyMap. We sent a Freedom of Information Act request for an update to this data in July 2012. And then we waited. And waited. Until finally, this summer, a heroic USDA employee found our file, and "fast-tracked" it to its completion. Then came the small matter of actually making the map. Continue reading

The other drawing I finished last night. I'd been meaning to do another proper drawing of Traeden, since C.C is the one I draw the most, and he IS the other protagonist in my comic/manga. I really struggle with drawing the male body, sadly, but I think this turned out pretty okay.
I figure he's probably thinking something along the lines of: "I don't think that means what you think it means." or "Please tell me you aren't as stupid as I think you are."
Trae is ridiculously smart, and can be a little impatient with those dumber than he is.
I finished this yesterday and forgot to post it. It's an older Iori/Cody and Miyako/Yolei from Digimon 02. I realize Iori isn't going to be in high school at the same time as her, but we haven't seen the other uniform for the girls yet, so I just put them both in the junior high uniforms.
Anyways, I was thinking of him saying something like: "Could you stop treating me like I'm still a little kid, Miyako-san?" Because everyone always forgets Iori and treats him like he's a little runt. Hope they make him tall and handsome in the new season. >)
And again, sorry for crappy cell phone quality. Someday I'll get a new scanner. XD
Finally got around to finishing this, since I sketched it quite a while ago. Just a simple sketch of my alter ego and FC main character, Ally Santra. Nothing too fancy. The general outfit design was one I saw on Yes Style, I just kind of ran with it. Even though Inktober is over, I'm still really enjoying my traditional art.
Speaking of, it may be a while longer than I hoped to get a new scanner. Because of being sick for so long, my little family and I are all seriously broke. :\ Oh well, once we get caught up again, I'm sure I'll be able to get one. :3

Lowe's Cos. is laying off about 1,700 middle managers nationwide and adding thousands of hourly, part-time sales staff on weekends, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
Spokeswoman Chris Ahearn said Tuesday the company redefined hundreds of middle-management jobs and will eliminate those between assistant store manager and store manager on Saturday.
The company will start taking applications next week to fill the 8,000 to 10,000 new positions, to be spread evenly among 1,725 stores. Ahearn said the changes will give the company the staff in needs to help its customers when they shop the most – weekends.
About 20 percent of stores will not lose staff. Lowe's has about 238,000 employees, with four to six managers at each store.

I am just starting out, been at it about 6 months thus far.
Got a bunch of brass today at the range and found some aluminum .357 cases!! Candor aluminum cases be reloaded??
Besides that all of the aluminum cases I've ever seen were berdan primed.
Well here it is!! Before it gets mountains of goodies piled onto it i figured i would take a pic of my first bench build. Cost me $18.00, and took roughly 10-12 hours to build it from da ground up!
My job always has building mats kickin around which def. comes in handy for alot of crap i decide to build. Its composed of 3/4in. marine grade plywood, Douglas Fir 4x4 legs, and Bandera for the trim( this stuff is so damn hard hickory would be proud of it).
The rear legs are about 3deg. aft and the front legs are approx. 30deg. forward, so you could basically throw a elaphant on the front edge of it and it still wouldnt tip.
Under the press itself i fabricated a 90deg. x 3/16in thick alum. bracket that secures the area around the press itself, and tapped a bolt into the front face that lays against the cylinder housing for support.
It took quite abit of doing, but the wife let me have it upstairs in the main part of the house in my office sooo figured id make it atleast look kinda decent. After the poly dried and she saw it, she was happy with it and so am i. Thanx for all you guys's info and inspiration ~Capn~

Ms. Chanda Kochhar, Indias first female bank CEO, is chief executive officer of Mumbai-based ICICI Bank Ltd., Indias largest private-sector lender...
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unleashed a slew of reforms in the past weeks to boost the economy, as promised...
Indias First Female Bank CEO Aims High
Chanda Kochhar, the first woman to run a bank in India, is no stranger to tough situations.
She became chief executive officer and managing director of Mumbai-based ICICI Bank Ltd., India's largest private-sector lender, as the global financial crisis raged in 2009. Soon she was battling a run on retail deposits, fuelled by unfounded reports the bank had significant exposure to troubled U.S. banks.
With the quiet confidence that is her trademark, Ms. Kochhar ordered branches across India to stay open as long as customers wanted their money, made sure ATMs were constantly restocked and coached edgy branch managers late into the night.
The key, she explained, was doing everything possible to make customers and employees feel comfortable in the face of a crisis, and communicate clearly.
With similar resolve, she has pushed ICICI, a bank hitched to India's burgeoning middle class, into risky new markets – from the smallest of Indian villages to Canada's rugged oil sands. Under Ms. Kochhar's leadership, ICICI has followed India's far-flung diaspora of immigrants and businesses into 18 other countries, while nearly doubling the bank's return on equity.
And with clever use of technology, such as full-service branches in mobile vans and transactions via Facebook, she has brought millions of India's "unbanked" into the modern economy.
ICICI, which stands for Industrial Credit and Investment Corp. of India, is now the country's largest private bank, as well as its leading, private life and general insurer. It has more than 3,750 branches and 11,300 ATMs in India. Ms. Kochhar's goal is to grow ICICI into a top 20 global bank.
The bank was a "gender neutral" institution long before it gained favour in the banking industry, in India and elsewhere. It has evolved into an organization that doesn't give any special privileges to women, but also doesn't distinguish between the sexes, Ms. Kochhar said. She's now one of at least three female bank CEOs in India who rose through the ranks at ICICI, along with Axis Bank's Shikha Sharma and JPMorgan India's Kalpana Morparia.
In contrast, none of Canada's Big Six banks has ever had a female CEO; nor have most of the top banks in the United States. With worldwide assets of $124.5-billion (U.S.), it is significantly smaller than National Bank of Canada, the smallest of Canada's Big Six banks (assets: $199-billion Canadian) and Toronto-Dominion Bank, the largest (assets: $922-billion).
Ms. Kochhar regularly ranks on Forbes magazine's annual list of most powerful women (No. 42 in 2014) and is widely recognized as India's leading female CEO. She has earned every leading business prize in India as well as the Padma Bhushan, one of the country's top civilian honours.
Expanding ICICI's presence in Canada is a natural, given the extensive familial ties and growing economic relationship between the two countries, she said. She pointed out that roughly 30,000 Indian immigrants come to Canada every year, along with tens of thousands of students.
Modi Rolls Out More Reforms to Boost Economy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unleashed a slew of reforms in the past weeks, scrapping fuel subsidies, simplifying labour rules and pledging to open coal mining to private players in a bid to boost the economy.
When Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party won a thumping majority for its pro-growth promises in India's elections in May, hopes swelled that the new government would adopt economic reforms that had proved beyond the brittle coalitions of the past.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched long-awaited labour reforms, emphasizing that ease of business is essential to the success of 'Make in India,' his government's plan to turn India into a manufacturing hub. The measures simplify employment rules and smooth the way for people to move social security funds when they change jobs. They also provide for an improved pension and minimum salary grade.
"According to The World Bank, India has one of the world's most rigid labour markets, but fears of a trade union backlash and partisan politics have deterred previous governments from reform measures," said Bundeep Singh Rangar, Chairman of London-based consulting firm IndusView. "Business leaders have high hopes that Modi, an advocate of smaller government and private enterprise, will change that."
Economists have long argued the country's potential will only be unleashed when it curbs subsidies, relaxes suffocating regulation and rigid labour laws and eases complex rules governing industrial land acquisition.
The Make in India campaign, which was launched by Modi on Sept. 25, seeks to emulate China and other East Asian powerhouses by focusing on export-oriented manufacturing.
India's industrial production growth slowed down further to 0.4% in August 2014 after growing by just 0.5% in September 2014.
"The sluggish growth in industrial production has undermined hopes of a sharp rebound in manufacturing. The festive season did not bring much of a cheer to the consumer durables sector owing to the adverse impact of uneven rainfall on crop production and rural incomes," said Rangar.
In a bow to free markets, the Government released diesel pricing from state control, ending a battle for eliminating subsidies on the largest component of fuel consumption. It also cleared a delayed increase in domestic gas prices; hiking by one-third the amount the government pays natural gas producers to encourage exploration in the fuel-hungry nation.
Economists say they expect more progress on resolving labour issues and bringing in a national goods-and-services tax that will end the patchwork of levies making doing business in India costlier.
Many supporters expected bigger things from Modi by now: perhaps a lifting of all fuel and fertilizer subsidies, or the privatization of state-owned Coal India. Modi's more modest reforms, however, may be a smarter way for India to move forward.
Congratulations Satyarthi!
Kailash Satyarthi who? That was the question in India after the Norwegian Nobel Committee yesterday awarded the 2014 Peace Prize to the little-known child-rights activist from the South Asian country.
Hours after the announcement, followers on his Twitter Inc. account surged to more than 22,000 from 89 on Oct. 6 as the scramble to know more about him crashed his web page and that of his New Delhi-based Bachpan Bachao Andolan, or Save Childhood Movement. He will share the $1.1 million prize with Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai, 17, the global face of a campaign against terrorism, illiteracy and poverty.
The 60-year-old Satyarthi has helped rescue more than 80,000 children from bondage, trafficking and exploitative labor in the past three decades. After giving up a career as an electrical engineer in 1980, he also spearheaded a movement to make free and compulsory education a constitutional right for children in India in 2009.
"People working hard at the grassroot level are hardly known by name or face," said Vinod Shetty, a lawyer who runs an education project for children in Mumbai's Dharavi, Asia's second-biggest slum. "It's a thankless job, and the award is a pat on the back for him and his family."
India, home to the world's highest percentage of malnourished children after East Timor, officially had 4.35 million child workers in 2011, according to the latest data from Ministry of Labor. Satyarthi wrote in an article in the Mint newspaper in the same year that the number might be as high as 60 million.
Child Labor
Uttar Pradesh, India's most-populous state accounted for 15 percent of the officially tracked child labor in the country, according to a 2012 report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. The majority of children employed in the country work in the tobacco industry, followed by construction work and spinning and weaving, the report said.
In 2011, crimes against children in India rose 24 percent from the previous year with a total of 33,098 cases reported in 2011 versus 26,694 in 2010.
"The prize is a recognition to hundreds of millions of children who are still languishing in slavery, who are still deprived of their childhood, health, education and their fundamental right to life," Satyarthi said as scores of reporters and photographers jostled in the overcrowded lobby of his office in New Delhi yesterday. "I recall all those children who are still languishing at some mine, stone quarries, brick kilns and in homes. They remain invisible and unknown."
Civil Society
Satyarthi's organization rescues child workers and provides them with free education, according to the Bachpan Bachao Andolan.
Indian President Pranab Mukherjee said the prize should be seen as a "recognition of the contributions of India's vibrant civil society in addressing complex social problems," according to a statement.
"It's a prerequisite for peaceful global development that the rights of children and young people be respected," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said in a statement yesterday. "In conflict-ridden areas in particular, the violation of children leads to the continuation of violence from generation to generation."
Satyarthi said he had been moved at the start of his education as a boy to witness the son of a cobbler who wasn't able to go to school because he had to work.
Passing Sweets
"I was unable to digest the fact that some people were born to work, while fortunate ones like me were able to go to school and pursue our dreams," Satyarthi said yesterday, wearing a brown kurta, a flowing shirt worn over pajamas. "It is a myth poverty causes child labor and poverty, but it is a proven fact that child labor causes poverty, child labor perpetuates poverty and child labor perpetuates illiteracy."
Satyarthi's office in a middle-class neighborhood of the Indian capital was thronged yesterday with well wishers, supporters and journalists. Some of the 100-odd staff were busy passing around sweets while others tried to bring order as the place, which was packed to capacity.
"Satyarthi is a brilliant choice by the Nobel jury," said Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., India's biggest SUV and tractor maker, who founded a charity that educates underpriviledged girls in India. "His work underscores that India, and indeed the world, will squander its future if it doesn't free children from the burden of labor and preserve their right to education."
'Gandhi's Spirit'
Thorbjoern Jagland, the head of the committee, said at the announcement that Satyarthi has, in Mahatma Gandhi's spirit, mobilized public opinion, in India and in other countries.
"It's not a compensation for the fact that Mahatma Gandhi never got the prize," Jagland said. "I don't know why he didn't get the prize. But we should then appreciate that one who is taking up his tradition gets the prize."
The Nobel Peace prize, along with literature, physics, medicine and chemistry honors, was created by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel and first awarded in 1901. Winners include the European Union, as well as U.S. President Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa, who until today was the only other Indian to win the prize.
"This award will guarantee recognition and draw attention to the dangers of child labor and the need to use education as a form of intervention for vulnerable children," Shetty said.

Terence Ryan - Skeleton (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Remix)
Artist: Terence Ryan
Producer: Terence Ryan
Album: Skeleton EP
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 37 votes )
In the early days rock and hip-hop lived side by side and never did the two meet…unless you count Aerosmith kicking a hole in the wall to yell at Run DMC. But in 2012 the lines between hip-hop and, well, every other genre are getting so blurry they're ceasing to be lines at all. Case in point, Terence Ryan's remix of indie rock band's haunting cut Skeleton. For Skeleton's second time around the MA and emcee beatsmith, making his The DJBooth debut today, keeps much of the original's hazy feel intact, most notably adding some more pounding drums and anthemic chorus into the mix, giving the beat a more propulsive feel than the original. From there Ryan adds in a softly sung hook and then grabs the mic to put some of his deepest beliefs on record, touching on everything from God to school to his willingness to put his body on the line for the music he loves. With an opening shot like this there's no telling what genres and styles will be throw in the blender for Ryan's upcoming EP, also titled Skeleton.

The Oconee County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
COPPER WIRE TAKEN: On March 20, a deputy was dispatched to a home under construction on Malcom Bridge Road, Bogart, where a man reported someone entered the house and pulled out the copper wiring and copper pipes valued at $6,000.
DAMAGE: On March 20, a 25-year-old Athens woman reported that someone broke into a cargo trailer she parked on Jamestown Boulevard, Watkinsville. Nothing was removed, but damage was estimated at $100.
Oconee County sheriff's investigators have been unable to identify burglary suspects that netted the thieves more than $5,000 worth of firearms and about $9,000 worth of jewelry.
The thieves broke into a home on Salem Road last week and ransacked the house, according to a sheriff's report released Wednesday.
The burglars stole nine weapons, including rifles and shotguns, deputies said.
The thieves also took numerous pieces of jewelry, along with an X-box game system and a computer.
ATLANTA | Once again, suburban counties are the healthiest in Georgia, while rural counties remain the least healthy, according to a 2014 ranking released Wednesday.
Forsyth ranked as the healthiest county in Georgia in 2014, followed by Fayette, Oconee, Gwinnett and Cherokee.
Teen drives SUV into Oconee Co. cemetery
A 16-year-old Oconee youth was charged with drunk driving Thursday night after he drove an SUV into Farmington Cemetery and damaged five grave sites, Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry said.
When deputies arrived at the cemetery at about 9 p.m., the teen abandoned his damaged Kia Sorento and tried to run, but was caught, Berry said.
The teen was charged as a juvenile with DUI, being an unlicensed driver, underage possession of alcohol, second-degree damage to property and striking a fixed object.
Two Athens artists, Ron Meyers and Rich Panico, have been named as Director's Choice Artists for the 19th annual Southworks Exhibition opening April 11 at the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation in Watkinsville.
The juried exhibition, which attracts artists from across the country, stays up through May 9 with an opening reception 6-9 p.m. April 11.
Meyers, an art professor for 20 years at the University of Georgia, is known for casual forms and a lively, pictorial approach in creating utilitarian pottery.
Burglars entered an Athens lawyer's secluded home in Oconee County twice this week stealing more than $40,000 worth of property and valuables, according to Oconee County Sheriff's reports.
But investigators have recovered two televisions, which has provided leads as they try to identify suspects, Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry said Thursday.
"I can't say a lot, but we feel like we've recovered property and we're working back from there," Berry said.
Former University of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray recently was invited to the state Capital to be recognized for his leadership on and off the field.
Georgia House Resolution 1457, sponsored by Rep. Chuck Williams, recognized Murray's achievements playing football and volunteering in the community with such nonprofit organizations as Extra Special People, according to a news release.
A 33-year-old restaurant worker remains in the Oconee County Jail today without bond on charges of trafficking in methamphetamine.
Brenda Pena, who is also known in Watkinsville as Brenda Stanton, was arrested Friday after authorities intercepted 481.3 grams of meth that was shipped to a location in Bogart from Mexico, according to Oconee County sheriff's Chief Deputy Lee Weems.
Sheriff's investigators planned the operation, but were assisted by several federal agencies, Weems said.
A Bogart woman remained in the Clarke County Jail on Monday following her arrest on charges of fleeing from an Athens-Clarke police officer who tried to stop her on suspicion of stealing University of Georgia property, authorities said.
Katherine Davis Douglas, 40, was arrested at a home on Ramser Drive after at least a dozen officers from the Oconee County Sheriff's Office, UGA police and Athens-Clarke police converged at the house about 2 p.m. Thursday.
