Case closed: FBI ends probe of $1.9M heistBy Brent CurtisVyto Starinskas / Staff File Photo
Rutland City police detectives talk with an FBI agent while investigating Vermonts biggest robbery 11 years ago today.
The FBI has closed the case of the biggest heist in Vermont history but not because the culprits have been caught.
It was 11 years ago today that a single man with a gun overpowered two guards at Berkshire Armored Car Co. in Rutland and made off with $1.9 million.
The case has never been solved despite the efforts of city and state law enforcement officials and the involvement of the FBI which for years posted information about the robbery under the seeking information section of its website.
That posting, which included a description of the suspect has being 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds and having a nasal New York accent along with the offer of a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction has been removed.
Asked Wednesday why federal officials are no longer seeking information about the heist, the answer was simple: The case is closed.
A spokeswoman at the Albany, N.Y., office of the FBI said every criminal charge that could be brought against the gunman has expired due to statutes of limitations for prosecution.
The statute of limitations for Vermont criminal charges expired in 2009. The federal charges that remained on the table are unclear.
The FBI spokeswoman said she didnt know which federal charges expired most recently and Paul Holstein, the media coordinator with the FBI in Albany, could not be reached Wednesday. Calls to an FBI media representative in Washington, D.C., were not immediately returned Wednesday.
While the case has been closed by the FBI, the U.S. attorney in Vermont said he believed prosecutors may have a means of bringing money-laundering charges if law enforcement is able to build a case in the future.
Theoretically, depending on the facts, the money would be derived from criminal proceeds forever, said U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin.
If we get leads on the case we would be interested in pursuing it, but the underlying robbery charge is off the table, Coffin said.
Vermont Law School professor Cheryl Hanna said federal tax evasion the charge that famously brought down gangster Al Capone might also remain an option in the case.
Theres a strong possibility that if the bank robbers are ever discovered, the government could bring tax-evasion charges against them in large part because the income was the product of fraud, she said.
A federal IRS spokesperson in Boston, Mass., could not be reached for comment.
The case proved difficult for many officials to talk about Wednesday due to both the legal complexities and its advanced age.
More than a decade has passed since the gunman, clad in a dark jacket and ski mask, confronted a guard arriving for work at the Howe Center building once occupied by the armored car company.
The suspect, armed with a revolver, forced his way inside and took a pistol from another guard already in the building before he handcuffed and tied both men, police said.
The robber took bags of money estimated to weigh hundreds of pounds from the vault and made his getaway in a dark van, police said.
Investigators combed through the sprawling industrial center for clues and surveillance video and scores of interviews, all of which led to hundreds of leads in the case. No arrests were ever made.
In the years that followed, Berkshire moved out of the Howe Center and was replaced by a Subaru repair shop.
The 10,000-pound stainless-steel vault has moved too last seen outside a slate mill in Pawlet.
In November 2010, Berkshire founder Jerry Reder died at the age of 83.
Hours after the robbery in 2002, Reder told a reporter I hope when they catch whoever did this, justice is served.

How do I clean the exterior of my LifeProof case?
Last Updated: 10/25/2012 9:07 pm
Cleaning the outside of your LifeProof case is really easy. For most situations, a warm, damp, soft cloth can be used to wipe the case clean. For a more thorough clean, ensure that all the ports are closed and then wash under fresh running water. Mild detergents can be used as needed, but need to be rinsed off thoroughly afterwards. Don't use bleach, solvents or other harsh chemicals as these can damage the case.
Once you've finished rinsing the case, shake excess water off and use a clean, soft cloth to dry it. If the touch screen area requires further attention, use the cleaning cloth which came with your LifeProof case or any other eyeglass-safe microfiber cloth.

Fourth District Court of Appeals Judge Elect Marie Hoover recently made a request to the Scioto County Commissioners to have the space currently occupied by the Scioto County Law Library converted into her office.
According to Commissioner Chairman Skip Riffe, the request has been met with some opposition from the law community.
The commissioners requested of Danielle Parker, Assistant Scioto County Prosecuting Attorney, a legal opinion as to the responsibilities of the county for the Fourth District Court of Appeals.
At the Thursday meeting of the commissioners, they accepted an opinion from Parker that states, "section 2501.18 of the Ohio Revised Code provides the board of county commissioners must provide a room for holding court and a consultation room for judges, cause such rooms to be properly furnished, heated, ventilated, lighted and kept clean and in good order, and provide other conveniences as the court deems necessary.
However, the Board of County Commissioners likewise has a statutory duty with regard to the Law Library. Section 307.51 creates in each county a county law library resources board which shall provide legal research, reference and library services to the county and to the municipal corporations, townships, and courts with the county…Therefore, in accordance with section 307.01 the Board of County Commissioners shall provide space for the law library resources board."
Parker said she is of the opinion that the commissioners are required to provide, "in the present scheme of the County Courthouse, the Board of Commissioners have already provided a room for holding court that is located on the Third Floor that is presently fully furnished with heating, lighting and all other necessary components for conducting oral arguments for the Fourth District Court of Appeals. Thus, the only remaining requirement of the Board of County Commissioners is to provide a consultation room for the judges. The statute does not provide that the Court of Appeals may select the location of the space provided only that the space provided be furnished, heated, have electric, be clean and in good order, and provide such other conveniences as are necessary."
Parker states it is up to the county commissioners as to the style, dimensions and expenses of the offices provided, and the location of such space within the county.
The opinion further states that each county shall share the expense of the operation of the Court of Appeals however, only the extent of the actual expenses incurred in operating the Court of Appeals.
"Of course you know we have a new judge, that is from Scioto County. We would like to have her located here the same as (Fourth District Court of Appeals Judge) Matthew McFarland. She had a request, that has been met with some opposition from others in the legal forum," Riffe said. "She is requesting to locate her office in the law library. Which would mean we would have to relocate the law library."
Riffe said when the request came in from Hoover, he requested a legal opinion from the Scioto County Prosecutor's Office.
"The bottom line is that it's up to the commissioners as to where we put her. It's also up to us where the law library is located," Riffe said.
Riffe said in his opinion, "I don't feel like we should be changing the law library however that does not mean that I do not want to see her here. I want to see her here, she needs to be in this building."
Riffe said, the county courthouse is becoming limited in space because nothing can be housed on the fourth floor due to leaking roof.
"We have a roof problem, that we need to get corrected before we do any major renovations in this building. We are looking to go out to bid on this project fairly soon. When completed, that will free up some available space on the fourth floor that could be remolded," Riffe said. "There are options we can take in this situation, there could be an existing office that chooses to relocate."
He said Hoover's courtroom would be the existing Fourth District Court of Appeals located on the third floor of the court house.
"They (Four District Court of Appeals) only meets here four times a year anyways, with all four court of appeals judges. That's really the only need for a courtroom, for the court of appeals," Riffe said. "Now, the domestic court also uses that courtroom. Another option could be to relocate (newly elected Domestic Court Judge Jerry) Buckler. There are options we can look at, we want here here."
Riffe said there is no timetable on the decision of where to house Hoover and her offices.
"We may need to locate her temporarily so where, whether it be across the street in the annex or what. But, I don't think we've gotten that far yet," Riffe said.
Hoover is scheduled to be sworn into office on Wednesday, Jan. 16 in the Scioto County Court House.
"I think things are going to work out just fine and it (her office space) will hopefully be in the courthouse. In the mean time, while they are getting an office space ready. I want to be housed in Scioto County, this is where I live, this is where my kids go to school, this is everything," Hoover said.
She said with the lack of an office the transition process has been slowed.
"My term starts Feb. 9. I'm trying to get all of the ground work laid here, before we get an office setup. I think it will be a smooth transition," Hoover said.
Hoover said she does not have a staff yet because of the uncertainty of where her office is going to be.
"Some people may have to relocate and I want them (her staff) to be at the office 40 hours a week and I do not know where to tell them to go yet," Hoover said. "I have in mind who I'm going to hire but, I've not officially been able to do that yet, because I do not have an office."
Counties within the Fourth District Court of Appeals include, Adams, Athens, Gallia, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pickaway, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton, and Washington.

Twitterrific 5.0.2 brings new image and link handling, retweet gesture, simple reading, and more!
Judge not the Twitterrific 5.0.2 update by its point size. More than just the usual bug fixes and performance tweaks are contained within. The Iconfactory has added inline image previews that, when tapped upon, launch a new, chrome-less image viewer that still lets you pinch to zoom and long press to get additional options. You also get the new full screen browser and simple reading modes, including Instapaper and Readability, and a new gesture to re-tweet with comment -- just tap and hold the re-tweet button.
Then there's the new timeline search. Besides Tweets and People, you can now choose the History tab. Type in a word and Twitterrific will find it referenced in any tweets in your timeline. Lastly, but certainly not least, VoiceOver will now read the Load More button, and tweets get loaded in batches of 50 instead of 100.
And if you'd rather hear hall-of-famer Gedeon Maheux show you all of those features, instead of me just telling you about them, watch the video below.
Twitterrific 5.0.2 is a free update, of course, and available now via the App Store. If you haven't bought it yet, here's your link:
- $2.99 - Download now

Twitterrific 5.0.2 brings new image and link handling, retweet gesture, simple reading, and more!
It's $2.99 and I have all notifications turned off on my devices, so it makes no difference to me.
Everyone uses Twitter differently. Twitterrific is optimized for the reading experience.
If you really want to, you can leave the official Twitter app notifications on. Unless/until Twitterrific adds them, at least.
A quick video summary of a number of the new and notable options in Twitterrific 5.0.2 for iOS. during this video we have a tendency to cowl timeline image previews, the new frameless… http://bit.ly/WS8VhP
Twitterrific now replaced my tweetbot that I loved so much! Personally, I do not need push notification. My favorite Tweetbot feature was the easy way to browser between my lists by choosing them on top of the app. In 2 clics, I could switch llist and this is as fast with Twitterrific.
My only feature request on Twitterrific would be a sepia theme between the too much white and the heavy black hehe. Or maybe something grey?
awesome app imo

Drop box is a free* web service where you can back up files, share files with others, and as long as you have an internet connection, save files to this location.
And it is simple simon to use.
And you can download the software to multiple computers and log in with the account you created.
How much easier can it get?
To get started, first visit Drop Box's website to download the software:
1. Download the software by following the links. Drop Box works on Windows, Macs, and Linux systems.
2. Create an account – give yourself a password. When you log in for now on, you will use the email you provided as a user name and the password you just created.
3. And that is about it. For Windows users, a drop box icon will appear on your desktop; for Mac users, you will be asked where you would like your drop box icon to live.
So how do you share files with others?
1. Double-click on the private folder.
2. Right click on the file you would like to share.
3. Choose Drop Box.
4. Click "Copy Public Link."
You've now just created a hyperlink to the file (even though you can't see the link until you paste it somewhere). Within an email message or another document, right-click and choose paste – you have just pasted a direct link to that file (try it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3262389/dropbox.doc)
This works very similar to our current Nefiles sytem, except you have the opportunity to share files with folks who do not have Richmond accounts – maybe you are in a dual-degree program and want to share files with colleagues at VCU; perhaps you're working with Professors across law schools. This is a quick and easy way to share files.
If you're working on multiple computers, this is also an easy way to work on files across platforms.
And lets not forget about a nice place just to back up your My Documents folder!
*Drop Box provides 2GB of space for free – you can have a lot more; it will just cost you a bit.

Fall Creek Elementary School conducted a Martin Luther King, Jr. essay writing contest for February for Black History Month. F
irst through third graders were asked to write a letter to Dr. King as though he were alive today. Madelyn Holleman in Mrs. Andrews' second grade class was the winner in that category. Fourth through sixth graders were asked to write about Dr. King's philosophy of nonviolence and whether they thought it was affective in the struggle for civil rights.
Christi Hobson in Mr. Holleman's sixth grade class was the winner in her category. The contest was coordinated by Ann Eddens, the school librarian.
Madelyn Holleman's essay:
Dear Dr. King,
Thank you for helping to get our law changed. The law that you helped change was the law that said that blacks and whites could not come together as equals. You led peaceful protests instead of violent ones. Even though you got treated terribly and arrested many times, you did not give up. You fought for your rights. I am thankful for what you did because I have all different kinds of friends. Without you and your wife, Coretta Scott King, I probably wouldn't be able to play with so many different kinds of friends. You are a wonderful man.
Madelyn Holleman
Christi Hobson's essay:
Martin Luther King always said that the best way to fight hatred was with nonviolence. He led many successful protests. One of them was the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott. African Americans wouldn't ride buses and walked everywhere for over a year! Today, that would be like not ever using your car!
Another example of nonviolent protest was to march with protest signs. But sometimes the police officers would beat the protestors with sticks and set the dogs on them! But they had to stay strong.
Some African Americans took part in sit-ins. That means they would sit peacefully in "white only" restaurants. The angry white customers would dump food on them such as sugar and salt. Many of the blacks got arrested. But they retained their hope and didn't give up.
And last, but not least, there was the "I Have a Dream" speech. Thousands of spectators viewed this historical event. All of these brave acts combined gave freedom to the African Americans.
Martin Luther King always said that the best way to fight hatred was with nonviolence. I think we can all agree that he was right. The African Americans stood tall and gained respect.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Training camp is often a game of chicken for safeties.
When the ball's in the air, they react, speed to the ball and slide by. There's minimal contact and no full takedowns. Guys like Morgan Burnett must show mercy.
"But once those lights come on and it's the game," Burnett said, "the leash is off. You do what you have to do and hit hard."
This summer, that leash is tightening in a hurry.
With fullback John Kuhn (ankle sprain) leaving practice Monday, the Green Bay Packers have 19 players sidelined with injuries. Coach Mike McCarthy has been forced to tame contact and condense his precious practice time and cut at least two recent sessions short.
Not exactly ideal for a team so gung-ho about improving its tackling. Since the spring, coaches have made that a priority. Those who will not tackle will not play. Now, the most violent player on the team — inside linebacker Desmond Bishop — is probably out for the season. Also, cornerback Davon House will miss at least two weeks.
There was a tint of helplessness in McCarthy's voice after a recent practice. McCarthy said he has never dealt with this many players injured in camp.
"This is not what you're looking for," McCarthy said. "This has been a very challenging week due to injuries. Obviously if I knew why it was happening, I would fix it."
So training camp has become more about survival than injecting a shot of nasty into the league's 32nd-ranked defense.
Two-a-day practices died last year. The new collective bargaining agreement changed the course of camp. The Packers have had only 11 full-padded practices this summer, including the intrasquad scrimmage. Game planning has mostly replaced fundamental work. Ready or not, the Sept. 9 opener against the dark-alley-tough San Francisco 49ers is coming.
Defensive players do not sound too concerned about these injuries. They say the shorter, more vanilla practices won't change their focus on tackling, on violence.
"We just need to take our time with each other within plays," rookie defensive end Jerel Worthy said. "Don't take kill shots when you have the opportunity. Try to keep guys up in piles. Let them finish a play, that's what Coach McCarthy always teaches us. And if we're tackling, just kind of form fit. Don't try to kill him.
"Obviously, it's a physical sport. Everybody's out there moving 100 miles an hour so we just have to be aware of each other's safety."
Protocol doesn't change too much for Worthy and the guys up front. But the linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties already in "thud" mode — wrapping up, instead of tackling players — must remain cautious. When wide receiver Tori Gurley dropped a hard shoulder into cornerback Dion Turner Monday, groans reverberated throughout Ray Nitschke Field.
"It's really just about getting into position because we need to take care of each other," Burnett said. "You don't want to take out your own teammate. But you have to just put yourself in a position and show on film that you're in position to wrap up or make the tackle. Just keep flying around to the ball. When you practice like that, you build habits. You're trying to build good practice habits that will carry over to the game."
Of those 18 injured players, Sam Shields (elbow) needs contact most. The third-year cornerback is hoping to return by next week. His stretch of fundamental work — slamming into a blocking sled among other individual drills — lasted only six padded practices. Once he returns, his fight for the No. 2 cornerback job picks back up.
He does believe that "thud" tackling on defense can help him improve this part of his game.
"I need to get them to trust that I can tackle," Shields said. "I'm ready."
The defense can't afford any more long-term casualties. Two weeks in, it has taken two big hits. Bishop was arguably the unit's best player last season, the one player the Packers knew would deliver haymakers. And House was looking like the case-in-point example of what cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt wants.
Lackadaisical as a rookie in practice last season, House welcomed contact in the exhibition opener.
So, as much as the Packers may want to encourage an edge in practice, safety has taken precedent. There's no rectifying a 32nd-ranked unit if starters keep going down.
"It's always difficult when you don't have the numbers and bodies in practice," defensive end C.J. Wilson said. "You can't do some drills. You can only do so much because you only have so many bodies. But as far as our physicality, I don't think that will change. We're a physical team and we know what it takes to be physical and we're going to keep playing our game."
Then, Wilson chuckled. The team will be fresh, he added. That's true.
Maybe Green Bay's tackling needs a makeover. But with 19 walking wounded, McCarthy and the Packers have to think big picture.
"Just focusing in on our techniques," said Worthy, "and understanding that we need everybody to be healthy to make a great push this season for the Super Bowl."

text: Because of difficult and persisting coal market conditions, officials for two Arch Coal mining complexes announced the need to further scale back production and personnel.The mines are located in the bordering counties of Wise County, Va., and Letcher County, Ky.Two mines operated by a contract company at the Cumberland River complex in Letcher and Wise counties will be idled immediately, said Arch Spokeswoman Kim Link. Cumberland River will continue to operate two captive, company-owned, mines and employ about 240 people.In addition, the Hazard mining complex in Perry County has idled one loader spread, which has resulted in a small workforce reduction of 35 direct positions. Hazard will continue to operate five surface spreads with a workforce of approximately 250.Link said there were a total of 65 employee positions affected in both Kentucky and Virginia.Due to the contract mines idling, Im told there were approximately 45 contractor positions affected as well, said Link.Bill Bissett, president of the Kentucky Coal Association, said, We have seen a decrease in the amount of layoffs and loss of production as compared to what we were seeing in 2012. While I wouldnt say were on a rebound yet, it does appear that these losses have flat lined and can hopefully begin the process of rebuilding.Bissett added, Its important to remember were still mining nearly 50 million tons of coal in eastern Kentucky. So, while weve heard bad news and every job lost hurts our communities, there is still a lot of coal being mined. We need to ask the question why why is the coal market where it is, the pricing of natural gas is a factor. We also have an administration thats been re-elected who is very anti-coal. That has a real impact not only on production but also the use of the coal domestically. Its our hope that international markets, where the demand is expected to increase exponentially, will create a lot of opportunities for us, but it will take time for these markets to come to fruition.U.S.-based Arch Coal, Inc. is one of the worlds top coal producers for the global steel and power generation industries, serving customers in 25 countries on five continents. Its network of mining complexes is the most diversified in the United States, spanning every major coal basin in the nation. The company controls a 5.5-billion-ton reserve base of high-quality metallurgical and thermal coals, with access to all major railroads, inland waterways and a growing number of seaborne trade channels.

After 92:21 of play, Stewart finally came through with his second marker of the game to end it in Chicago's favor. Left wing Brett Sterling took the initial shot, and Stars netminder Brent Krahn gave up the rebound, which Stewart was able to poke over the goal line.
Forwards Spencer Machacek and Jason Krog provided the rest of the scoring for Chicago (5-4), while Sterling helped out with three assists to hand Texas (5-1) its first loss of the postseason.
Goaltender Peter Mannino (4-3) thwarted 35 shots in the effort.
"We controlled most of the game but they battled back – that's the type of team they are," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "We hung in there pretty well and found a way."
Chicago drew first blood, 8:36 into the game. Sterling gathered the puck out of a scrum in front of the net and threw it out to Arturs Kulda at the blue line. The defenseman fired a long shot, which Machacek deflected past Texas goaltender Brent Krahn.
The Wolves inched ahead, 2-0, 3:51 into the second period. Krog won a face-off in the Stars zone and slipped the puck back to defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy. The blueliner wound up and cranked a shot from high in the zone, which Krog got his stick on and deflected past Krahn.
Krahn (5-0) turned aside 42 shots for the Stars.
Texas pulled within one, 2-1, with 74 seconds left in the second period. Right wing Greg Rallo crashed into the Wolves zone and flipped a high shot, which Mannino blocked, but the rebound skipped out for center Aaron Gagnon to push home.
Stewart regained the two-goal lead for Chicago with his team-leading fourth power-play strike of the playoffs, 1:32 into the third frame. Right wing Tim Stapleton took a pass from Sterling and attempted a wrap-around, before the puck squirted out for Stewart to slap home the rebound.
Defenseman Andrew Hutchinson brought the Stars back within one, 3-2, when he collected the puck off of the boards behind the Wolves net and flung an angled shot up over Mannino with just over eight minutes remaining in the game.
Texas tied the game, 3-3, with 54 seconds left in regulation after a flurry of action in front of the net that saw the puck slip beneath two fallen Wolves and Mannino, who tried to dive forward to cover it.
The Wolves head to Austin, Texas, for Game 3, which will take place at the Cedar Park Center on Tue., May 4, at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, March 14, 2013
During a three-game winning streak, the Patriot baseball team picked up a big win over an old rival plus wins over a pair of new rivals of sorts.
On March 8, Fort Dorchester defeated Stratford 4-1 in Goose Creek. Sophomore Eurndraus Bryant crushed a pitch in the first inning for a home run that put Fort Dorchester up 2-0. Stratford cut the lead in half in the fourth, but the Patriots added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth.
"We made a couple of errors early in the game but we played pretty solid defense," Patriot coach Jack Radcliffe said. "Ryan Boyle pitched his tail off and we started to swing the bats a little bit. Of course the homerun helped. That kind of sparked us."
Boyle improved his pitching record to 1-1 with the win.
The next day the Fort picked up a one-sided win over Stall and on Tuesday the Patriots earned a one-sided win over Military Magnet. Stall is a Class AAA team and Military Magnet is a Class A team so the Fort hasn't played them much in the recent past. Radcliffe added both teams to the schedule because both coaching staffs now have ties to Fort Dorchester. Ronnie Sayer heads up a Stall coaching staff that includes Jeremy Hackney, Justin Sayer and Charles Latirre while Michael Silver coaches for Military Magnet. All of them are former Fort Dorchester players.
With the wins, the Patriots improved their record to 4-3 if you include pre-season tournaments or 3-1 if you don't. Goose Creek has defeated the Fort twice this year and the other loss was to Berkeley.
"We've had good pitching and defense this season and these last three games we have hit the ball well," Radcliffe said.
Corey Rawlings, Joshua Murray and Ryan Thomas have the other pitching wins for the Fort.
Rawlings also leads the team in homeruns with three, including a grand slam he hit at Stall. Bryant has two homers on the year. Radcliffe said leadoff hitter Myles Snype, Cody Meree and Boyle are also hitting the ball well early this season.
The Patriots host a rematch with Stratford at 7 p.m. Friday. They open region play at Beaufort March 20 and then return home to host Ashley Ridge March 22.

Rosemont, Ill.---Defenseman Derek Joslin scored his first two goals in a Wolves uniform and right wing Andrew Gordon added two goals as Chicago earned a 6-3 triumph over Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Left wing Brett Sterling contributed one goal and two assists to give him 401 points for his 420-game American Hockey League career. Sterling's breakaway goal at 7:36 of the third period snapped a 3-3 tie and sent the Wolves (15-12-3-2) on their way.
Defenseman Brad Hunt scored a goal, Darren Haydar added a pair of assists and goaltender Matt Climie (7-11-1) earned a season-high 43 saves to snap a personal five-game winless streak.
"We needed something like that to get us going," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "To score six goals and to get some bounces we haven't been getting was very nice."
Oklahoma City (18-13-1-3) triggered a freewheeling contest with center Josh Green's goal at 4:27. Green claimed the puck at the blue line, skated in and fired a slapshot from the near circle that beat Climie on the stick side.
The Wolves evened the score at 10:36 when Sterling controlled the puck below the goal line and fed it to Gordon in the far circle. Gordon winged a wristshot past Barons goaltender Yann Danis for his seventh goal of the year.
Joslin gave the Wolves a 2-1 lead with 17:54 gone in the first when he wristed a shot from the near point that deflected off an Oklahoma City defenseman's skate. Mark Matheson and Alex Friesen earned assists on the play.
Hunt boosted Chicago's margin to 3-1 with a power-play goal at 10:40 of the second period. Hunt rifled a shot from just inside the blue line that Danis couldn't handle as Haydar and Sterling picked up assists.
Green's second marker of the day, a power-play goal set up by Taylor Fedun at 14:04 of the second, pulled the Barons within 3-2. Oklahoma City made it 3-3 at 3:14 of the third period when Teemu Hartikainen collected the rebound from Green's shot and backhanded it past Climie.
The Wolves regained the lead for good at 7:36 when Haydar fed the puck ahead to Sterling for a breakaway. Sterling raced in on Danis and placed the puck under his arm for his team-leading 10th goal of the season.
Joslin earned an insurance goal at 13:04 when he fired a shot from the near point and benefited when the puck ricocheted off two Oklahoma City players' skates and trickled across the goal line. Gordon's empty-net goal with 14 seconds to play wrapped up the scoring.
Danis (13-10-3) posted 33 saves while taking the loss.
The Wolves travel to Abbotsford, British Columbia, for games on Friday and Saturday before returning to Allstate Arena on Wednesday, Jan. 16, for a 7 p.m. game against the Texas Stars. For tickets, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

So you think playing high cost pieces of garbage is more fun than playing low cost pieces of garbage? Interesting logic.
The way i see it there is no correlation, no correlation at all, between the production costs of a game and the enjoyment people can derive from it. You think if BW had thrown another 100-200 mil into marketing or VOs(maybe by using voices of wellknown actors) the game would have been any better? I call BS on that.
All the (paid)hype in magazines and commercials during primetime(in dozens of countries) did add ABSOLUTELY nothing to the quality of the game. Satisfied customers and regular honest reviews should be all thats needed to promote a decent game, start low and keep growing because people actually like your game, you know like EvE is doing.
They not just paid millions for those commercials, the also shot themselves into the foot because they lured people into the game that have no interest in the genre. That kind of logic works for single player games where a sale is a sale, but in MMOs you actually have costs associated with people, especially if you have to provide hundreds of servers initially for a population thats down the drain later on. Then you have to deal with the bad press of server mergers etc, where in reality your population just dropped to a realistic figure without all inflation caused by your hyperactive marketing department.

So basically for you it all comes down to marketing and perceived expectations on failure of a game. Fair enough. Personally, I never expected this game to be the size of WOW and neither did most here when polled. You had the occasional fanatic that made the claim, but by and large most people didn't expect the second coming of WOW.#What I expected was a nicely polished game with a better leveling experience than I ever had before. That is what was being marketed and that is what I got. Since I'm still playing the game six months out and enjoying myself, the game isn't a failure. When other people pay my sub fees, then I'll start caring about who considers TOR to be a failure because in the end it is all a matter of opinion, not fact.
Looking at the site right now it seens The Secret World is being marketed and GW2 is being hyped big time by its fans . Will they be a failure in your eyes if they don't reach WOW numbers or have a drop off in subs post launch like every MMO since WOW has done?

EnB was shut down because it had less than 20k subscribers at the end. TOR will survive as long as it makes a profit, the limit for that currently lies at approximately 40-50k - Depending on how updates are managed.

It is not my expectations,.
EA/BW expected millions of subs and so did their investors. They came out and said it. WoW-like numbers are what they were looking for. And the EA execs came out and said what they needed for this game to be a "success" and profitable. Those have obviously not been reached, which is why EA was downplaying TOR on the conference call, and fired 100+ people off the TOR staff, just a couple weeks after saying they were keeping everyone.
More importantly, TOR has not met player expectations for the majority of players, i.e. those that already quit. Player expectations were certainly not helped by the gaming press, including this site, that hyped the hell out of it. About 2/3 or 3/4 of all the people that bought TOR have quit or not subbed (of the 2.4 mil boxed TOR allegedly sold) , during the first 6 months. Perhaps more. That does not scream success to me.
TOR is simply mediocre. EA can't fix it (or soon enough to make any difference), and that is the end of the story.
As to those other games, they will do how they do, but it will certainly be easier for them to reach the goals the companies set, because neither cost half of what TOR did.
And gameplay aside, I think GW2 will sell a lot of boxing because of their pricing model.

Exactly, i dont know if EA could have been more clear when they said what IS a success and what IS NOT a success, and what is minimal acceptable with kind of expenses they had.
Since they already started cutting expenses and publicaly said SWTOR is somewhere down their on their radar its pretty clear what SWTOR IS and what SWTOR IS NOT.
However it doesnt stop people to come with their versions. Hey, Vanguard is still out there, its amazing success, AMIRITE?

I'm still trying to figure out why it cost so much in the first place...they used an inferior engine and already have experienced people. The only thing I can think of is bloated wages (i.e. overpaid voice actors, overbid advertising, etc).
Doesn't really make any sense..nor should they have used how much they spent on it as a positive..it's more embarassing than exciting.

Mr Flibble is VERY cross
I agree that the subs are probably down to about 300k or so now, but EA must be making money still or they would just shut it down.
I dont care what anyone says, as soon as it stops making money, EA will shut it down. Thats just the way they are and it is also obvious good business sense. I suspect they will probably wait until they break even then just shut it down anyway knowing EA.

I do not see them shutting it down yet, for at least a year, even if it is not making money.
They spend so much on it already, and no doubt have a set term licence with LA. They have said they have already got years of content already written, so will no doubt have a few tricks up their sleeves yet, to attract people, before pulling the plug.
Originally posted by stragen001
They are on that path now.
The single biggest expense an MMO has (especially after launch) is labor, and EA has started cutting that already. (IP fee notwithstanding)
Once the two annouced expansions are done, it will likely go into maintainence mode until enough money is made.
And for that to even happen, I suspect that the license agreement with LA would have to change, because you know that wasn't cheap, and it was predicated on certain population numbers being maintained, which they are not.
So for TOR to stay open long term at all, I suspect the deal with LA needs to be renegotiated.
Otherwise, yeah... the mostly likely outcome is TOR shutting its doors.
Originally posted by KamiKazeTG
It beats the hell outta me, they could have made 3-4 "standard cost" MMOs for the price of TOR and at this point, they'd have likely been better off doing that.
I too can't see where such a high cost came from... it was literally double what AoC cost and that was expensive to make.
Perhaps it will come out eventually...

No official cost figures has been revealed, every estimate so far has been third party speculations or hearsay.
But what could've been the cost, hmm, my guess is ofc things like the class quest, next to that, it may not look like it, but the total sum of all the available landmass is pretty big, easily multiple times what AoC had, and I think also as large or larger than WoW vanilla's or LotrO's total landmass. Also, that is handcrafted and not procedurally generated.
It might not look like it cost much, producing landmass and content on it, but Brad McQuaid once told that they had to stop from developing the third continent in Vanguard completely, because designing the other 2 continents and content on it had cost already so much time and manpower resources that they were already far past their initial deadline.
So yeah, the bigger the total available world or landmass is with the content on it to go with it, the more resources and time it'll take up. Especially for handcrafted worlds and not procedurally generated ones.
Of course, it's all speculation and just guessing.
Originally posted by cutthecrap
They had 12 full time writers and god knows how many programmers, modelers, sketch artists, etc which is ridiculous...The game really doesn't have that much content or landmass size in reality compared to other games on the market. The story isn't much more than a novel written by 1 person..maybe two or three novels worth of content..not 12. They've been working on it for what..four years? I believe that was the first time I heard about development. It was written in HeroEngine..which is so simple that even I can write up a MMO in a few weeks that runs just like SWTOR (no content though), so they didn't need someone to design an engine or learn it. It's fairly straight forward to use. I have used it..as I said..and I'm not a professional programmer.
Using Vanguard as an example is a bad idea..they had quite a few of the same problems as SWTOR..so it's not a surprise they agree on some things. Looking at cost estimates..even cutting that in half to be safe..is depressing when you actually play the game and feel how unpolished it is..how simple it is..and how much more work it needs.
About the only way to save SWTOR would be to drop HeroEngine and start over...good luck with that. The engine is dated, restrictive, unoptimized, and clunky. They won't get anything done with it.
For reference, I played 3 characters through their storylines before I gave up and canceled my account. I didn't find the content all that impressive. Repetitive character motions, lipsync issues, cliche story arcs, and nothing that impressive. It's still not as bad as The Secret World though. That game made me laugh and uninstall it after a day in beta. I at least got to release on SWTOR.

Some of you guys are on bath salts if you honestly believe this game is dying or going away with in the next year when games like WAR/Aion/Rift/AoC are still up and running and were hyped just as much as SWTOR by the lunatics on here... yet have less subs than SWTOR.. and I just can't stop loling at the OP suggesting there are only 200k subs left.

Coffee Mug, Set of 6 16 16
Makes my coffee feel like it's $10 a cup :) I love that they are made in USA! I look forward to drinking out of these! February 5, 2014
Glass Mugs are stylish and functional This is a glass mug that is not only stylish, but functional. Clear glass simplicity. You can see your beverage as it should be... through clear glass. Great for any drink, especially coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other uses. Even-though I have two sets of very nice china, I prefer the clear glass mugs to the cups that came with the respective sets. February 28, 2011
Made in the USA!! Big handle for a good (morning) grip, but sized so they can be held without the handle. The very best feature of all is these great mugs are MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - and yet sold by World Market. It just doesn't get any better. February 24, 2011
My favorite mugs to drink out of!! I love these mugs!! They are great to drink out off. I can have hot coffee or tea in them as well as cold orange juice too! They are heavy and dishwasher safe. Love them!! January 23, 2011
kinda...awesome Kinda [*] awesome.:D February 13, 2010
I want another set of these! Everyday coffee mugs which my guests seemed to enjoy the practicality and simplicity of them. June 12, 2009
A Beautiful Set I had worried that the set would be flimsy but the mugs are of the highest quality, and are lead-free. As another novelty they are made in the USA. May 24, 2009
Made in USA - the best they are not made in China and do not contain lead and to me, this is the most important aspect. They are Anchor, a name we can trust. March 10, 2009

CRESTVIEW — Central Baptist Church offers an alternative to traveling long distances for recreational water fun.
Crestview has no municipal pool, but the Recreational Outreach Center's community pool — available to the public the past two years — is gaining popularity, ROC Director Dana Young said.
"It's grown this year," she said. "At any given time, we have around 20 to 30 (at the pool)." The pool, which Young said has a 56-person capacity, is open to the community Monday through Saturday.
Most guests are mothers who bring their children to the pool, Young said. However, military personnel regularly use the pool for exercise during lane swim time.
Shawn Jones and his Crestview family on multiple occasions have visited the ROC, rather than trek to public beaches on the county's south end.
"It's way better than the backyard hose," he said. "It's a great alternative to Destin traffic. It's a great atmosphere to come to during community swim time."
The ROC offers twice weekly water fitness classes taught by certified fitness instructor Dara Smith.
Her Tuesday and Thursday classes attract 20 to 30 participants.
"Basically, everything you do on the land you can do in the water," Smith said. "It's a nice change because you are sweating in the water, but you don't realize how hot and sweaty you are. Because of that, she advises participants to bring plenty of liquids. The pool has an on-duty lifeguard during community swim hours — just in case, Young said. The facility features a fitness room with weight lifting equipment, basketball courts and a soon to be reopened racquetball court. ROC staffers are installing wheelchair accessible seating to allow those with special needs to enjoy the pool.
Such amenities are available to — and often are used by — non-church members, Young said.
"Most of the time, the only people with the church are the (ROC) staff," she said.
What: Public swimming
When: Various times, Monday through Saturday (see swimming schedule; must have Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Where: Central Baptist Church's Recreational Outreach Center, 1105 S. Pearl St.
Cost: Day pass, $2 per person; monthly pass, $25 per person; family monthly pass, $50

It's a Good Day to Be a Hockey Fan
Friday, October 19, 2007
McFarlane's Sports Picks is proud to unveil our NHL 17 figures. The lineup features four players in the new RBK EDGE uniform, and two retro figures from the NHL's storied history. Toronto's Jason Blake, Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin, Washington's Alexander Ovechkin 2 and Buffalo's Ryan Miller show off the "new look" of the NHL, while Trevor Linden is wearing the black Vancouver jersey from their Finals run of 1994, and Joe Sakic salutes his hockey roots with a retro Quebec Nordiques jersey.
Take a peek at the future (and proud past) of the NHL:
Jason Blake
Trevor Linden (retro)
Evgeni Malkin
Ryan Miller
Alexander Ovechkin 2
Joe Sakic 2 (Quebec)
NHL17 is expected to arrive in stores in late January 2008. We're planning to offer an expanded goal set-up at the same time as NHL 17, giving collectors another option for displaying their figures. There will be pegholes for goalies as well as opposing skaters on the same base. The hockey goal will be offered in modern and classic versions, and will be carried through our McFarlane Stores (Tempe, Glendale & online) as well as select mass retailers. Here's a look at mock-up photography of both items:
>> HOCKEY GOAL (Modern)
>> HOCKEY GOAL (Classic)
The hockey goal will ship as a flat box set. The item is still in development, so there is no established price point yet, but we will bring that info soon. Stay tuned for prototype photography in the coming weeks.

At the regularly scheduled board meeting of the Antlers City Council, City Mayor, Mike Burrage (pictured above), signed a proclamation declaring January National Mentoring Month for the City of Antlers.
This proclamation was to help recognize that our success depends on helping children succeed in school and reach their full potential in life, and realize that young people need a solid foundation of support that will help them become well-educated, confident and productive citizens of Pushmataha County.
Mentoring has been proven to be an effective strategy that helps both children and young adults by matching them with a caring, responsible adult who can provide guidance and direction while helping them build confidence.
Research shows that youth involved in mentoring are 52% less likely to skip school, 46% less likely to start using drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking alcohol.
Organizations, such as LDCAA Passport to the Future Mentoring plays an important role in our community. It does this by providing a safe, structured program for matching volunteer mentors with children in need in our community.
Mentors build character, encourage success, boost confidence, lift expectations and expand the universe of the child by serving as friends, role models, teachers and a source of stability during a critical time in a child's life.
Research shows that mentoring has beneficial and long-term effects on youth by increasing their chances of high school graduation and college attendance and decreasing the likelihood of substance abuse and other risky behaviors.
Mentoring also strengthens the community's economic and social well-being by helping our young people fulfill their potential while helping maintain healthy families and promoting more vibrant communities.
Over 70 of Antlers youth are in need of a caring adult mentor in their lives. Closing this mentoring gap will take more investment, partnerships and volunteers that are ready to make a difference.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Doris Long or Angie Smith at (580) 298-2921. You may also visit mentoring.org. This website provides an opportunity to search for mentoring opportunities by zip code or by state and also provides an alternate means of contacting the LDCAA Mentoring Program.

Friday, October 25, 2013
The murmur of young voices quietly fills the room. Under a desk in the corner, second grader Chris Whaley curls up with a book on his lap. Hovering nearby, third grader Jahnz (Randall) Myers waits patiently to offer help if Chris needs some.
Across the table, first grader Grayson Rice reads her book to Brian DeBolt, a second grade teacher at Summerville Elementary School and initiator of the Reading Counts Club, an after-school club for children in his class, to help them hone their reading skills.
Reading Counts is a national Scholastic initiative used school-wide.
DeBolt has taken the initiative a step further and spends every Friday after school with children from his classroom to help them succeed.
After a child has read a book, he or she sits at a computer and logs on to the Reading Counts site. There, they plug in the name of the book they have read and answer some simple comprehension questions. Depending on how well they do on this "test" they will be awarded a number of points.
In DeBolt's classroom, the student with the most points at the end will get to dress him up however they see fit.
"I think one of the mom's has feet close to my size," he says with chagrin. He may be in high heels soon….
A child runs up to him and tells him the score he just achieved adding with a mischievous grin, "I am going to make you wear a tutu and tiara!"
At another computer, a child makes a noise of frustration. DeBolt goes over and calmly suggests he simply read the book again instead of getting upset. "You'll get it, just read it again."
The child smiles and opens the book.
The children gather on Fridays after school in DeBolt's classroom. The only prerequisite to being a member of the hour-long "club" is parental permission and a ride home.
The school librarian chooses a book cart full of grade-appropriate Reading Counts books. Once he has the children gathered, DeBolt assigns two to be in charge of the cart and they make their way to the computer lab, two little girls pushing the cart down the hall.
The group is composed of first and second graders with third and fourth grade helpers. The non-second grade participants are for the most part siblings of the children in his classroom. They help the younger students.
DeBolt says the reading club helps with comprehension, fluency and to teach the children to enjoy reading. "They compete for points.
"Anything to get them to read," he says.
The selection of books includes fiction and non-fiction. Grayson is reading a book about jellyfish and she points out to DeBolt that jellyfish look like mushrooms.
School-wide, says DeBolt, teachers are beginning to work with vocabulary, recognizing how important it is.
Parents help with snacks for the club.
"The parents do snacks and transportation," says DeBolt, shaking his head, "they have been wonderful, simply wonderful."
DeBolt, who has been a teacher for 11 years, used to be a math intervention teacher before taking on the second grade classroom. When he is not in school he is a camp director in West Ashley over the summer, a girls varsity soccer coach at Summerville High School.
Mercehdez Green says she likes the club "'cause I like to read and take tests. It helps me get better at reading."
She shyly says her favorite books are those about dolphins and Barbie.
"My most favorite book is Miss Brooks Loves Books….
DeBolt laughs. "I can't get them to stop reading! I will look up and catch someone reading and have to say 'I am glad you like to read but could you please listen to the lesson?'"

Wednesday, January 29, 2014
A woman from the 100 block of Deas Drive in Sampit said someone shot her mobile home and her sister-in-laws car Jan. 22.
A neighbor reported hearing gunshots between 2 and 3 a.m. but did not think anything of it because she hears gunshots all the time, the report states.
During the investigation it was learned a second vehicle had also been shot.
No suspects were listed on the report.
Woman accused of attacking her mother
A 31-year-old Plantersville woman was arrested after she allegedly assaulted her 62-year-old mother. Deputies responded to the Lucy Grier Road home Jan, 22 and found the younger woman who said her mother was picking on her all the time and was constantly nagging. Her mother had left the home before deputies arrived but returned while they were there and said she left because she feared for her safety.
The woman said her daughter hit her in the face three times, causing her glasses to break.
Her daughter was charged with simple assault.
Caught on a boat
A man met with deputies on Sandhole Road in the Lamberttown area Jan. 18 and said he walked out of his house at about 2 a.m. and saw someone on his boat.
When he yelled at the person, an unknown man jumped off the boat and ran in the woods.
A rifle and Q-beam light were missing from the boat.
The suspect has not been found.
Jail trustee splashed
An assault-by-liquid reportedly occurred at the Georgetown County Detention Center Jan. 21.
A 37-year-old inmate - a jail trustee - said he was serving meal trays when a 21-year-old inmate splashed an unknown liquid in his face from inside his cell.
The victim said he did want to press charges so the case was expected to be presented to a magistrate.
Assaulted in Walmart
Georgetown police met an 18-year-old woman at Walmart Jan. 17 after she was involved in an altercation with her ex-boyfriend - a 19-year-old Georgetown man.
The woman said she was in the store shopping with her daughter when her ex walked up and started begging her to take him back.
She said he followed her around the store and while in the womens clothing area he reportedly tried to take her cell phone from her hand.
The woman yelled and was able to get away but about 30 seconds later the man ran back up to her and allegedly punched her in the throat and took off on foot.
A store worker called for help.
Police were given video from the stores security cameras that shows the assault taking place. The woman had visible injuries to her neck.
The man was found at his residence and was taken to jail.
Store window broken
Police responded to an alarm activation at KYS clothing store in the 2000 block of Highmarket Street at about 2:30 a.m. Jan. 20 and saw the front window was broken.
No entry was made to the store.
Fight involving a knife
Deputies were dispatched to the Kangaroo convenience store in Pawleys Island at about 3:50 a.m. Jan. 18 because of a report of a fight in progress.
A 21-year-old Goose Creek man said he was with two of his friends when they decided they wanted to buy drugs.
He said he told them he did not want to be around drugs so he had them drop him off at the Kangaroo. He then called his father to pick him up. He said while waiting for his father, his friends returned and started yelling at him.
One of his friends - a 21-year-old Georgetown woman - reportedly slapped him on the face.
He said one of the male suspects began chasing him and threatened to kill him so he pulled out a knife in defense.
The woman involved told a deputy the Goose Creek man punched her in the eye. Her boyfriend said the man pulled the knife on him for no reason.
No one wanted to press charges, so they were all allowed to go home.
Man found in a ditch
A deputy was sent to the 500 block of Courtfield Court in Murrells Inlet Jan. 22 where a 33-year-old man was lying in a ditch beside the road. EMS was with the extremely intoxicated man when the deputy arrived.
The man said he had been living in the woods with some other people.
After being cleared from the hospital, the man was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Causing problems for EMS
A 44-year-old man from Elkader Drive in Pawleys Island was arrested for disorderly conduct Jan. 17.
A deputy was sent to the home to conduct a welfare check and no one would answer the door. The deputy noticed someone was looking out a window and turned the lights off.
The deputy knocked for about 15 minutes before someone finally opened the door.
When the deputy walked inside, an older woman quickly went to a bedroom.
A man was unconscious on the floor on the floor. The suspect - a 44-year-old woman - was aggravating the situation and was causing more confusion. The woman was advised to calm down and stop shouting so EMS could do their job.
She calmed down briefly but started shouting again.
She kept shouting and started using profanity. She then jumped in the ambulance and was told to get out. Because she kept causing problems, she was charged and was taken to jail.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
When I peruse the book of Ecclesiastes, the most poignant chapter in the entire book is chapter 3. I read chapter 3 always with Ecc 1:13 as the context of the entire book. The Modern Languge translation gives a good rendering of 1:13 from the oldest original languges: And I applied my heart to seek & to search for wisdom in all that is done under heaven. This is a trying task, which God gives to the sons of men to be afflicted in it.A more literal version states:I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: It is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.This contrasts nicely with Ecc 3:10-11vs 10 KJ:I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men to be excercised in it.Another more literal version puts it:I see the experience that Elohim gives to the sons of humanity to humble them by it. Living Bible nicely states verse 11:Everything is appropriate in its own time. But though God has planted eternity into the hearts of men even so man cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.God allows evil to afflict us to give all humans the painful experience of what it means to be humble. If we never suffer the consequences of feeling pain we would spend a lifetime sticking our hands into the flames of fire never learning to stop doing that which sears the flesh. All present earthly sons & daughters of God will one day join our brother Christ Jesus in heaven, where he will reveal more clearly to us the purpose for his father having created us with a central nervous system by which we were afflicted with so much pain. God could have created us from the beginning as he did the angels, incapable of feeling pain, but he didn't, all for a good reason that we clearly do not understand as stated in Ecc 3:11. It is the most difficult thing in the world to look into the face of a suffering & close friend & try to make them understand that God has a plan & purpose for the severe affliction they are undergoing. Today I had to experience that.....a close friend of my wife's; in a few weeks she'll be done with this life's travails, her pain will be over & done with, but she will carry the experience of it for eternity for a purpose presently known only to God.
THE wISDOM OF GOD.....EXPIERENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER...SO TOO...jESUS PARTOOK OF FLESH AND BLOOD.. BECAUSE THE LITTLE CHILDREN DID

Remember, kids, no "Pre-Ban" worries anymore. "Pre-Ban" guns are now exactly the same thing you can buy new on the shelf. The only "Post-Bans" in existence anymore are that way because of stupid state laws or because it wasn't worth it to affix a bayonet lug or a flash suppressor just to annoy sissies.

Remeber kids shooting alot and shooting well are often two different things.
It reminds me of my friend who thought his SKS was the ultimate weapon. :dead: That was until I built my AR and not only out shot him on an accuracy course but also placed my shots better on a tactical course.
