A Clarke County grand jury on Tuesday indicted an Athens woman on murder charges for killing her son just moments after giving birth to him.
Cassandra Elyse Norwood, 21, cut the newborn's throat and stabbed him in the abdomen after delivering the child in November at her home on Great Oak Drive, where she lived with her parents, according to the indictment filed in Clarke County Superior Court.
Norwood is charged with malice murder because she allegedly killed the newborn with premeditation following a pregnancy she hid from family members.
Until now, the slain infant was known only as "Baby Norwood," as called by an Athens-Clarke police detective in warrants.
He now has a name.
The indictment states that Norwood did unlawfully and with malice aforethought, cause the death of her newborn infant child, a baby boy later named Josiah Lucas Norwood, a human being..."
Josiah Norwood was killed Nov. 1, but Norwood never told anyone in her family that the infant's lifeless body was in her bedroom.
Instead, she told her parents that blood on the floor was the result of heavy menstrual bleeding, at which time the parents took her to the hospital, police said.
Josiah Norwood's body was found by the defendant's sister, who called police. Officers notified Norwood's parents about the death while they were still at the hospital with their daughter.
When questioned about her child's death, Norwood said she accidentally stabbed the infant while cutting the umbilical cord.
While testifying at a bond hearing in Superior Court last month, Athens-Clarke police Detective Jonathan Patterson recounted chilling details about the newborn's death.
After giving birth in her bedroom, Norwood used a large kitchen knife to stab the child several times, including in the neck, said Patterson, who attended the infant's autopsy.
He testified that a medical examiner determined a number of the wounds the newborn suffered could have been fatal. One injury was a puncture wound to the infant's spine, Patterson said.
After the stabbing, Norwood cleaned up the blood and placed the baby with bloody towels in a trash bag, the detective testified.
During the bond hearing, District Attorney Ken Mauldin argued that Norwood needed to remain confined at the Clarke County Jail.
If released from custody prior to trial, he argued, the woman might possibly flee the state and either intimidate or influence family members, all of whom are witnesses in the case.
The prosecutor also told the judge that Norwood proved she was not trustworthy because she hid the pregnancy from her family and lied about how the infant died.
Judge H. Patrick Haggard denied bail.
Norwood's arraignment date has not been scheduled.

Willem Dafoe's career isn't showing any signs of slowing down one bit. He's a good actor, but I haven't seen a new film of his in years. In fact, I looked at his filmography, and I'm pretty sure the last one I saw that featured him in any way was "Spider-Man 3". Yeah, it's been a while. Hopefully, this new film will turn it around.
Magnolia Pictures announced today they have acquired US rights to "The Hunter" after its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
Directed by Daniel Nettheim and written by Alice Addison, the pic is based on the novel by author/filmmaker Julia Leigh ("Sleeping Beauty"). The film stars Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, and Frances O'Connor. Vincent Sheehan ("Animal Kingdom") of Porchlight Films produced.
Here's the synopsis:
In this gorgeously shot psychological drama, Dafoe plays a mercenary hired by a bio-tech firm to track down a rare, possibly extinct animal called the Tasmanian Tiger in the remote and untouched wilderness of Tasmania.
Magnolia is planning a 2012 theatrical release for THE HUNTER through its Ultra VOD program.

Grandview Point - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
Taken in the late afternoon, this panorama shows the view over the Grand Canyon from Grandview Point. The sun is low above the horizon to the west, and would soon touch the top of the Grand Canyon's South Rim. Deep shadows are spreading across the canyon floor, beginning to hide some of the features. This picture was taken a very short distance down the Grandview Trail, just below the main viewing area. The trail was still covered in snow and ice, quite steep and slow going. Grandview Point gives a good view down the eastern section of the Grand Canyon, all the way to Cape Solitude and Chuar Butte.
Grandview Point - FURTHER INFORMATION
Grandview Point - Grand Canyon visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Grandview Point' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Arizona.
Grandview Point is on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, between Yaki Point to the west, and Moran Point to the east. It is the starting point for the Grandview Trail which descends into the canyon to Campground Horseshoe Messa.
The following Grand Canyon landmarks can be seen in this panorama using the direction indicator at the bottom right of the image:
- Shoshone Point (309°) on the edge of the South Rim.
- Zoroaster Temple, Zoroaster Canyon and Brahma Temp (between 338° and 341°) on the northern side of the Colorado River.
- Horseshoe Mesa (350°), at a height of 1597m.
- Obi Point, due north on the North Rim.
- Wotans Throne (2327m) and Freya Castle (2225m) between (between 25° and 30°), again jutting out from the North Rim.
- Far off to the west between 70° and 75° are Chuar Butte and Cape Solitude, too far away to be clearly seen in this picture, but Cape Solitude is the furthermost point visible on the South Rim at the end of the Palisade of the Desert cliffs.
Grandview Point is about 20 miles from Grand Canyon Village on the Desert View Drive (also called East Rim Drive).

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hi... I'm Jon. I look forward to assisting you. Please Press CTRL + D to mark this page.
Hi Jon
can you provide me the operating system you are using on your computer - Window7, XP, MAC OS?
Thank you.
Do you have another computer available that is windows 7 or XP?
The Iomega is a USB drive correct?
are you using the same commuter the USB drive is connected too?
did you use Iomega software to encrypt the data?
It is software that comes loaded on the drive, it encrypts a second drive that is invisible without entering the password
ok, thank you - can you access the software on the drive?
Only the setup software that doesn't do anything except set the preferences; startup with windows, minimized etc.
ok please hold while I check on something.
ok, I need to do something for a couple of minutes
one sec please
can you give me the model number - it should be sometime like 35054
if you need to go and come back later no problems - I'll continue to look for your solution and give you an update.
when you get a chance please confirm the model number as there are several version of the drive and getting the info right is important. - Thanks Jon
the model # XXXXX the is RPHD-UG3 1Tb
Thanks - Iomega does show that as a model, is the drive a usb 2.0 or 3.0?
can you tell me where you purchased it?
london Drugs in Vancouver BC
can you copy a file to / from the drive or is the entire drive encrypted?
and can you right click on this link and tell me if this is your drive http://www.londondrugs.com/Cultures/en-US/Product+D etail/Computers.htm?BreadCrumbs=Computers;Computers;Portable%20Data%20Storage;Hard%20Drives;Iomega%201TB%20eGo%20Compact%20Helium%20Portable%20Hard%20Drive%20-%2034820&ProductID=5143904&ProductTab=3
I found the box, usb 3, eGo 1Tb super tough and no, the whole drive is corrupted.
ok thanks - sorry this is taking so long - just want to get the right drive.
are you running w7 64 bit or 32 bit?
64 bit, I went next door and tried it on another W7 machine and it works!
was the other machine a 32 bit?
Some Iomega drives support 2.0 USB and some support specific versions of windows
not sure, do you want me to go check?
This device has been working perfectly on this machine for 7 months
before you go next door we need to know two things about each computer
your computer is W7 64 bit, is your computer 3.0 or 2.0 USB, is your neighbors computer 3.0 or 2.0 usb and is it 32 or 64 bit
once we have this info then we can identify the problem and solution
Sometimes a windows update can be installed automatically and cause unforeseen complications, so once we know the USB version and OS version then we can look at the last updates and determine if that is the cause.
how do you tell if it is 2.0 or 3.0
should be able to go to control panel. system and see the USB version...
I'm firing up my W7 machine right now to confirm, in the mean time you said the drive works on your neighbors PC but not yours, correct?

no problem hang on a sec and I will get that for you...
still looking -
my neighbours computer is 64 bie as well
sorry that it's taking so long - there is no easy way to determine USB port version...
have you tried to disconnect your Iomega drive from your computer, turn it off, then shut down your computer with the drive connected but not on, then turn on the drive and see what the plug and play balloon window says?
Oh... I need to ask you, did you connect your USB drive to the front or back of your computer?
no, I haven't. I have re-booted but not that way, I will try it. When I am done and I will re-connect with you.
yes but 1st - is the drive connected to the front or back of your computer? the front USB ports do not provide power, the back ones do...
It is a notebook, and there is no problem with power.
ok then lets have you try the process I mentioned.
I did it, no change and then I un=installed the software re-installed it, re-booted anf now it works.
Thank you
so it is working ok now?
Yes, I have to go now, how to I finish this so you get paid?

Indeed, if we look into the performance of Auxier Focus Fund in the down years of the last decade, it did better than the market by 24.5% in 2001, when the market declined by 12%; it outperformed again in 2002 by 15%, and 12% in 2008.
Jeff Auxier may not be a household name of mutual fund managers, but he has achieved a track record that many house name mutual fund managers would love to have. Over the past 10 years ended 2009, his fund has a cumulative return of 86.5%, while the S&P 500 lost 8.1%. In 2008, the market was down 37%, his fund lost 24.5%, a lot less than the market. In this year until June 30, his fund was down 3.99%, while the market lost 6.65%.
Jeff Auxier has demonstrated outstanding risk management capabilities with his fund. Due to his excellent performances, Morningstar has assigned 5-star for 3-year, 5-year and 10-year performances.
By the way, we at GuruFocus may have contributed to his outstanding performances, as Jeff Auxier has been a Premium Member of GuruFocus since 2007. Why don't you also sign up our Premium Membership if you have not done so?
Similar to Steven Romick, Arnold van den Berg and Don Yacktman, Jeff Auxier likes high quality large caps now. He wrote in his latest shareholder letter:
"High quality stocks should benefit from increasing dividend payout ratios and low relative valuations. In time, rising risk premiums on bonds should cool speculation, aiding investors focused on fundamentals and cash flow. As markets become more expensive we tend to gravitate toward defensive positions —special situations where the return is more dependent on, for example, managerial acumen than the general supply/demand fluctuations of markets. These include work-outs, breakups, spinoffs and post-bankruptcy IPOs (initial public offerings)."

In research where child assent is being obtained, parental permission is required (unless waived). Parents will sign the Informed Consent Document in two places. One is the signature of consent, and one is an attestation that their child has received a proper explanation covering all points of the assent information sheet and has agreed to participate.
Researchers should carefully consider and propose adequate provisions for obtaining the assent of children prior to their participating in research. The eIRB application should address whether the intended subject population of children would be capable of understanding the nature of their participation in the research, and if so, whether or how assent will be obtained.
See Guidelines for Studies Including Minors.
Researchers should use the age-appropriate assent templates listed below. Each point should be discussed with the minor in an age appropriate manner and all questions answered by the research team. Agreement to participate should be documented in the research record. Not requiring a written signature does not alleviate the responsibility to appropriately assent minors for study participation. There are assent information sheet templates for both clinical and non-clinical studies for two age groups; Adolescents aged 15 - 17 and Children ages 7 - 14. Assent is not required for children aged 6 and under.
Please note: for studies involving drugs with known teratogenic effects (i.e., category x or like drugs), the adolescent assent should be used for children ages 10-17, and the child assent for those ages 7-9. The adolescent assent will have explicit reproductive risk language, and the child assent will not. Additional instruction is in the assent template.
Researchers conducting studies prior to policy changes may continue using currently approved assent forms and processes for their studies, including obtaining the minor's signature, as approved by the IRB.
New Assent Templates:
Adolescents - Age 15 - 17
Children - Age 7 - 14

The sweetest kids around here!
My boogie turned one on the 10th, but here are some photos just hanging out this week.
And at his birthday party:
Ok everyone has incredible, adorable children, but I am here to gush over Rosalind.
What a beautiful creature Ottilie! How cool calm and collected for one just born! What keen eyes, what wonderful fat cheeks, what a friendly, perfect little mouth. I think she must have gotten the otter-gene from you, because she has such a sweet animally look. The mouth-corners! Oh my goodness. Congratulations! Funny that you started to feel sure about Rosalind last week, because she is SO completely a Rosalind, not any of the other names.
@ottilie, she's gorgeous! What an absolutely stunning little girl. Like a little Rose, to match her name. Was that before you left the hospital?
Congrats, Ottilie, she's beautiful!
Pink, yes, this was while we were packing up. You can see the pink bracelet...
Thanks everyone!
Holy smokes, I'm away for a few days, and look at all the cuteness that happens. So many gorgeous babies!
I too think Rosebud is very sweet!
And mkez, your little man is adorable. I love his cowlick and tie.
The Civil War pictures are to die for.
Carry on...
Rosalind is the loveliest of lovelies, ottilie! I'm so happy you got your darling girl and that everyone is healthy and happy.

Gossip Girl Blake Lively to be new face of Chanel handbags
Blake Lively is moving up in the world – the Gossip Girl star has been confirmed as the new face of Chanel.
The actress will star in a new ad campaign for the fashion house's Mademoiselle bag collection.
Lively, who was a front row fixture at many of the brand's catwalk shows last year, was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to be the new Chanel ambassador.
Photos of Lively at Chanel's historic Rue Cambon headquarters have already been shot for the campaign, which is expected to be unveiled in March.
Lagerfeld told WWD: 'She's a kind of American dream girl. I think she will become a great actress.'
Meanwhile, Blake raved: 'How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?'
'Dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around.'
The new Mademoiselle range, which featured in the French luxury house's 2011 Cruise collection, is already available to buy in some Chanel stores.

Charles IX de France
b.27 Jun 1550 Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines, France
d.30 May 1574 Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, France
Family tree▼
m. 28 Oct 1533
m. 26 Nov 1570
Facts and Events
Charles IX (27 June 1550 – 30 May 1574) was a monarch of the House of Valois who ruled as King of France from 1560 until his death. He ascended the throne of France upon the death of his brother Francis II.
After decades of tension, war broke out between Protestants and Catholics after the massacre of Vassy in 1562. In 1572, after several unsuccessful peace attempts, Charles ordered the marriage of his sister Margaret of Valois to Henry of Navarre, a major Protestant leader and the future King Henry IV of France, in a last desperate bid to reconcile his people.
Facing popular hostility against this policy of appeasement, Charles allowed the massacre of all Huguenot leaders who gathered in Paris for the royal wedding at the instigation of his mother Catherine de' Medici. This event, known as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, crippled the Huguenot movement.
Charles sought to take advantage of the disarray of the Huguenots by ordering the Siege of La Rochelle, but was unable to take the Protestant stronghold.
He died without legitimate male issue in 1574 and was succeeded by his brother Henry III.

'Must Be The Sunshine' replaces 'Your Florida Side Is Calling' as official state tourism slogan
After three years, Florida's ad campaign -- an example is shown above -- leveraging the phrase "Your Florida Side Is Calling" will be retired. A new slogan was unveiled at the annual governor's conference on tourism in Orlando.
Wake up and good morning. So long, "Your Florida Side Is Calling." Welcome aboard, "Must Be The Sunshine."
Do state-created tourism slogans matter? They do if they can catch the public's attention and create some buzz out there. Think of the blockbuster slogans "I love New York" that's been around since the 1970s or "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" which last year joined the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. (Read more here.)
Visit Florida, the state's tourism marketing arm, retired its "Your Florida Side Is Calling" catchphrase on Thursday and unveiled "Must Be The Sunshine" in its place. I'm not sure New York or Vegas have much to worry about. But it's a safe, mainstream saying for Florida.
According to this Orlando Sentinel report, tourism experts also brainstormed at Thursday's annual governor's conference on ways to convince more tourists visiting to Florida to stay one more night. The payoff could be big: an extra $1.9 billion in added spending int he state and the creation of 30,000 more jobs.
As the Sentinel story states, Visit Florida plans to pare down Thursday's ideas to one winner just as they do on the entrepreneurial business-pitch TV show "Shark Tank" -- by competition.

Tabb set for ankle surgery
Reading midfielder Jay Tabb will be out for several weeks after being booked in for ankle surgery.
Last Updated: 21/08/10 9:18pm
Reading midfielder Jay Tabb is facing several weeks on the sidelines after being booked in for an ankle operation.
Tabb aggravated a long-standing injury during the recent Carling Cup tie against Torquay United and has sat out Reading's last two Championship games.
The Royals were initially hoping he would not require surgery, but he will now undergo an operation on Monday and will be out for a few weeks.
Meanwhile, Reading boss Brian McDermott is waiting for an assessment on an injury suffered by Andy Griffin in Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest.
McDermott said: "It was his hamstring, a slight hamstring and he's had a little bit of a problem there so we have to look after him.
"I thought Brynjar (Gunnarsson) came on and did well, it just shows how important he is."

{n,m}, and
For a regular expression to match, the entire regular expression must match, not just part of it. So if the beginning of a pattern containing a quantifier succeeds in a way that causes later parts in the pattern to fail, the matching engine backs up and recalculates the beginning part--that's why it's called backtracking.
Here is an example of backtracking: Let's say you want to find the word following ``foo'' in the string ``Food is on the foo table.'':
When the match runs, the first part of the regular expression (
finds a possible match right at the beginning of the string, and loads up
$1 with ``Foo''. However, as soon as the matching engine sees that there's
no whitespace following the ``Foo'' that it had saved in $1, it realizes its
mistake and starts over again one character after where it had had the
tentative match. This time it goes all the way until the next occurrence
of ``foo''. The complete regular expression matches this time, and you get
the expected output of ``table follows foo.''
Sometimes minimal matching can help a lot. Imagine you'd like to match everything between ``foo'' and ``bar''. Initially, you write something like this:
Which perhaps unexpectedly yields:
That's because
.* was greedy, so you get everything between the
first ``foo'' and the last ``bar''. In this case, it's more effective
to use minimal matching to make sure you get the text between a ``foo''
and the first ``bar'' thereafter.
Here's another example: let's say you'd like to match a number at the end of a string, and you also want to keep the preceding part the match. So you write this:
That won't work at all, because
.* was greedy and gobbled up the
whole string. As
\d* can match on an empty string the complete
regular expression matched successfully.
Here are some variants, most of which don't work:
That will print out:
As you see, this can be a bit tricky. It's important to realize that a regular expression is merely a set of assertions that gives a definition of success. There may be 0, 1, or several different ways that the definition might succeed against a particular string. And if there are multiple ways it might succeed, you need to understand backtracking in order to know which variety of success you will achieve.
When using lookahead assertions and negations, this can all get even tricker. Imagine you'd like to find a sequence of nondigits not followed by ``123''. You might try to write that as
But that isn't going to match; at least, not the way you're hoping. It claims that there is no 123 in the string. Here's a clearer picture of why it that pattern matches, contrary to popular expectations:
This prints
You might have expected test 3 to fail because it just seems to a more
general purpose version of test 1. The important difference between
them is that test 3 contains a quantifier (
\D*) and so can use
backtracking, whereas test 1 will not. What's happening is
that you've asked "Is it true that at the start of $x, following 0 or more
nondigits, you have something that's not 123?" If the pattern matcher had
\D* expand to ``ABC'', this would have caused the whole pattern to
The search engine will initially match
\D* with ``ABC''. Then it will
try to match
(?!123 with ``123'' which, of course, fails. But because
a quantifier (
\D*) has been used in the regular expression, the
search engine can backtrack and retry the match differently
in the hope of matching the complete regular expression.
Well now,
the pattern really, really wants to succeed, so it uses the
standard regexp backoff-and-retry and lets
\D* expand to just ``AB'' this
time. Now there's indeed something following ``AB'' that is not
``123''. It's in fact ``C123'', which suffices.
We can deal with this by using both an assertion and a negation. We'll say that the first part in $1 must be followed by a digit, and in fact, it must also be followed by something that's not ``123''. Remember that the lookaheads are zero-width expressions--they only look, but don't consume any of the string in their match. So rewriting this way produces what you'd expect; that is, case 5 will fail, but case 6 succeeds:
In other words, the two zero-width assertions next to each other work like
they're ANDed together, just as you'd use any builtin assertions:
matches only if you're at the beginning of the line AND the end of the
line simultaneously. The deeper underlying truth is that juxtaposition in
regular expressions always means AND, except when you write an explicit OR
using the vertical bar.
/ab/ means match ``a'' AND (then) match ``b'',
although the attempted matches are made at different positions because ``a''
is not a zero-width assertion, but a one-width assertion.
One warning: particularly complicated regular expressions can take exponential time to solve due to the immense number of possible ways they can use backtracking to try match. For example this will take a very long time to run
And if you used
*'s instead of limiting it to 0 through 5 matches, then
it would take literally forever--or until you ran out of stack space.

Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma missed the opportunity to address disability issues during his state-of-the-nation address, Disabled People SA (DPSA) said on Friday.
"The Sona (state-of-the-nation address) sets the tone for government and presents indeed the 'state of the nation'," DPSA national chairman Robert Masambo said in a statement.
"We had therefore expected far more than we received from a president who is very well conversant with our plight."
Masambo said DPSA did not just want disability grants, but independence for disabled people.
DPSA and Zuma met twice last year.
In the meetings, DPSA had raised issues such as low levels of skills and education in the disability sector, the unemployment rate, compromised safety and security, economic participation and transport, said Masambo.
DPSA hoped the detail missed in Zuma's speech would find space in the budget vote. - Sapa
