Elevated circulating aldosterone levels are associated with hypertension, thrombosis formation, cardiac hypertrophy, and congestive heart failure. Aldosterone secretion is regulated by angiotensin II (Ang II), potassium, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). I am interested in the underlying mechanisms of aldosterone secretion with the goal to address the development and progression of hyperaldosteronism. I currently have two research projects in this area that examine aldosterone secretion with two distinctive approaches: a pharmacological approach and a toxicological approach.
Ang II stimulation of aldosterone secretion is mediated by AT1 receptors and phospholipase C-calcium downstream signaling. Evidence exists for an essential role of the 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) pathway in Ang II-stimulated aldosterone secretion. However, the identity of 12-LO metabolites, as well as the mechanism and extent by which these metabolites contribute to Ang II-stimulation of aldosterone secretion remains unknown. The goal of our studies is to understand the role of 12-LO in the regulation of aldosterone secretion. Our current data indicates that endogenous production of 12-LO metabolites are produced by adrenal zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells and that a novel stereoselective G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is present on ZG cell plasma membranes. Identification of the 12-LO metabolites and the receptor that mediates aldosterone secretion would provide a novel pharmacological target for the remediation of circulating aldosterone levels.
PBDEs are widely used flame retardants. PBDEs leach into the environment, bioaccumulate, and are detected in U.S. breast milk samples. Some of these PBDEs upregulate enzymes involved in steroidogenesis in a human adrenocortical cell line. With growing evidence supporting a role for environmental pollutants in the development of cardiovascular disease, an investigation into the potential role of these PBDEs in the alteration of aldosterone synthesis is warranted. Our current data suggest that PBDEs induce aldosterone secretion from cultured ZG cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Future studies will further characterize this response and determine if chronic PBDE exposure results in hyperaldosteronism.

text: Swedish progressive/experimental metallers THERION are putting the finishing touches on their new album, "Sitra Ahra", which will be mixed at the legendary Polar Studios in Stockholm. 13 songs are being recorded for the CD, although it is presently unclear if all of the tracks will end up on the final record.THERION mainman Christofer Johnsson previously stated about the upcoming CD, "Expect something spectacular, even by THERION's standards!" Christofer Johnsson announced in May 2009 that vocalist Thomas Vikström (ex-CANDLEMASS) had become a permanent member of THERION. THERION's new rhythm section is comprised of Johan Koleberg (ANIMAL, ZAN CLAN, LION'S SHARE) on drums and Nalle "Grizzly" Påhlsson (TREAT, ZAN CLAN, VINDICTIV) on bass guitar. THERION's latest CD/DVD, "The Miskolc Experience", was released in June via Nuclear Blast Records. The set's description reads as follows: "After the phenomenal last studio album 'Gothic Kabbalah' (2007), easily THERION's most stunning effort since 'Theli', and the follow-up live CD 'Live Gothic' (2008), THERION mastermind and only remaining founding member Christofer Johnsson decided to go for a rather special project: the band's appearance at the remarkable and renowned International Opera Festival in Miskolc, Hungary in 2007 was taped on and off stage to preserve a truly unique classic metal event for the THERION fanbase! The first part — dubbed 'Classical Adventures' — features some of Christofer's favourite composers (especially his all-time fave, Wagner) and does completely without guitars or any metal instrumentation whatsoever. Just orchestra and choir. Part two, 'Therion Songs', delivers exactly that: finest THERION material performed by the band, a huge orchestra and choir. Rounding off 'The Miskolc Experience' is an entertaining documentary which gives insight in the complicated organisation and the no less complicated execution with all ups and downs for the involved crew and musicians. "'The Miskolc Experience' is the testimony of the brilliant Johnsson/Niemann/Niemann/Karlsson THERION lineup which Christofer Johnsson decided to dissolve in late 2008. This chapter of THERION is closed, a new era is about to begin — and THERION will soon open the book once again!"

Editorial - IRRC September 2006 No 863
30-09-2006 Article, International Review of the Red Cross, No. 863
The private military and security industry is growing, with some estimating annual contracts to be in the $10–$20 billion range and others citing figures as high as $100 billion. The sharp increase in the number and size of private security and military companies took place after the end of the Cold War as private operators filled a security vacuum in weak or failed states, which coincided with the increasing privatization of the public sector and the globalization of business activities.
Armed private security companies protect persons, buildings and installations, humanitarian aid delivery and reconstruction efforts. These private companies have been complemented recently with large private military companies engaged in military activities that used to be the prerogative of the armed forces. The reluctance to maintain or deploy large standing armies enhances this tendency and makes the armed forces more dependent on private military entities. Private military companies are specialized in training armed forces for combat and combat support functions. Executive Outcome, for example, turned around an orphaned conflict in Sierra Leone, and Military Professional Resources Inc. significantly shifted the balance of power in the Balkans. Private military companies provide peacekeeping training and other military-related services for peace and stability operations from Congo to Haiti.
Especially owing to its extensive activities in Iraq and to a lesser degree in Afghanistan, the private military sector is booming. Iraq is the largest private military market in modern history and a testing ground for the direction in which the private commercial military sector will develop. More than 20,000 ''private warriors'' of commercial military companies are estimated to be operating under contracts with the Iraqi and United states governments and with private firms. Such companies are providing security services in danger zones, whereas the conventional armed forces are concentrating on purely military operations. In this multi-billion dollar business, companies like Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) have tens of thousands of employees in Iraq and Kuwait who run military supply lines and administer military bases.
To a large extent the debates about private military companies are part of wider debates on the privatization of government functions. The outsourcing of core activities of the armed forces to private entities might affect military institutions in the longer run. Even if some of them are rather paramilitary and para-state entities, private military companies are not an integral part of operations. They are independent entities, responsible first and foremost for their own firm. Many of the contractors working for civilian institutions or companies coordinate only loosely with the armed forces in conflict areas and may become involuntarily involved in hostilities. The usually defensive nature of their mandate may be changed to include offensive action to repel attacks. Similarly, the civilian nature of an object protected by private military personnel is not immutable and that object may become a military objective, which can be lawfully attacked.
The growth of the private military sector has been accompanied by rising concern about the role of private commercial interests in military affairs, and particularly the unregulated use of force by the personnel of private milita ry companies. Some hold that the use of force by private companies is a natural evolution of the security demands of states that are unable to cover all security aspects. Others regard it as tantamount to the return of mercenaries or ultimately as a weakening of the state's ability to retain its monopoly on the use of force. Even though the public sphere has always cooperated with private security companies, the emergence of private military companies as important factors in armed conflicts and as security providers in unstable states raises questions about the role of nation states as primary military actors.
In contrast with mercenaries who operate in hiding, private military companies have established offices with defined management structures, develop their corporate image and attract new engagements through publicity. Mercenarism often involves a handful of foreign former soldiers overturning a government in post- or neo-colonial conflicts, and it exists on a much larger scale. Often similar to the conventional forces, private military companies are operating openly under a responsible command, with a strict hierarchy, a disciplinary system and military-style uniforms, and claiming to comply with the laws and customs of war and of the host country. In the final analysis, however, they are acting under the customer's instructions. It is in the common interest of both the customer and the contractor to abide by those instructions and the rules of law. Activities outside this framework could seriously affect the outsourcing principle and corporate development, as stricter regulations or even prohibitions may follow. The contractual requirements, and in particular the issuance of good rules on engagement, are therefore of crucial importance for monitoring the expansion of military entrepreneurism in armed conflict. When private military companies are allowed to exercise elements of governmental authority, their conduct will, under the rules of state responsibility, be attributable t o states – at least when they assume state functions and treaty obligations or act under the direction or control of a state. Finally, the state may, even where the conduct of a private military company is not attributable to it, nevertheless incur responsibility for its failure to exercise due diligence with regard to that company's activities.
Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions distinguishes between persons taking active part in armed conflicts and those who do not. Its originality lies in the fact that it creates rights and obligations also for entities that are not party to that treaty, which was concluded by states. In particular, it imposes obligations on non-state movements or groups, which often play a main part in today's wars. Human rights, too, are now widely seen as creating obligations for non-state entities. Usually one thinks of rebel or insurgent movements as fighting against an established government or among themselves. In hostilities of a certain duration and intensity they are likened to a state with regard to the attendant rights and obligations that flow from international humanitarian law. In the United States, in an unexpected decision by the Supreme Court, even individual fighters in the socalled ''global war on terror'' could be covered by Article 3, although the territorial link with a state does not exist and their membership to any particular party to an armed conflict might be doubtful.
International humanitarian law also determines the basic legal framework for the activities of the staff of private military companies in times of armed conflict. Since the distinction between jus ad bellum and jus in bello is the basic axiom of humanitarian law, the reason for participating in hostilities is irrelevant for it. If engaged in hostilities, such companies can sometimes be deemed a party to conflict an d subject to the basic humanitarian requirements of that law in terms of both rights and obligations. The link to state entities, however, complicates the legal considerations, especially in international armed conflicts, as private military companies are increasingly carrying out activities that formerly belonged to the functions of the armed forces of a state.
The killing, kidnapping and detention of private contractors and particularly the ambushing and barbaric mutilation of four American private contractors in 2004, as well as the showing of videos of military contractors shooting Iraqi civilians a year later, highlight the need for the rights and obligations of personnel of private military companies to be clearly specified. There is only a very limited basis for classification as combatants under international humanitarian law and with it entitlement to the protection of prisoner-of-war status. Supply contractors accompanying the armed forces and issued with identity cards by them lose that entitlement if they participate in hostilities. The vast majority of private military personnel would be considered civilians under international humanitarian law and, unless they take active part in hostilities, they are protected as civilians against attacks. Yet, increased reliance on civilian contractors in these roles has important implications for international humanitarian law if they are indeed called upon to act in a way that could be construed as direct participation in hostilities. The cardinal principle of distinction between persons participating in hostilities and those who are not is, in practice, stretched to its limits when interpreting the multiplicity of possible actions that private mimilitary personnel might take in situations of armed conflict.
There is no legal gap with regard to private military entrepreneurism, and private military and security companies do not operate in a legal vacuum. The unease and suspicion about private companies potentially using lethal force and the growing tendency of armed forces to rely on private military entities, however, show the need to prevent or reduce certain potential adverse consequences. The aim is to ensure and promote respect for international humanitarian and human rights law by states and private military and security companies working in conflict areas, and to study and develop options and regulatory models and other appropriate measures at the national and possibly regional or international level. Switzerland, in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross, is at present facilitating and contributing to such a process in an intergovernmental dialogue. This dialogue could be taken up to inform the debate in international forums such as the 30th International Red Cross and Red Crescent Conference scheduled to take place in late November 2007, as well as in other regional or international fora.

I was trying to solve the IMEI lost by installing these bins files (www movilesdualsim dot com/threads/ayuda-con-i9500-s4-with-mtk6589-quad-core-5-0-screen-1920-1080.47124/) using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119, so I was doing so and when SPFlash has finished the phone doesn't boot up anymore. I have tried to flash recovery.img with SP Flash but it doesn't even detect the phone anymore.
When I connect the phone to the PC by USB cable I can heard the connected device sound going on and off and looking the windows device manager I can see a "Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface" device connected but like I said it goes on and off every 5 seconds or so. If I put the battery on the phone it doesn't make any different.
I would appreciate so much if anyone could help me out. I don't usually bother people asking for help but I can't really find how to fix this issue and I don't know if it is even possible to fix it.

Feelings on sleep medication?
- Question from Barbie: What are your feelings on sleep medication?
- Answers - Patricia A. Ganz, M.D. Sleep medication may be very helpful to some women, particularly if you're having difficulty sleeping on an occasional basis because of pain after surgery or if you're having difficulty with anxiety or stress. Long term sleep medication may not be the best solution and it may be best to obtain a better understanding of why you're not sleeping well. One of my colleagues here at UCLA will be starting a study to test whether tai chi may be helpful in sleep management for women after breast cancer. Part of the thought here is that this kind of exercise has both a physical and a relaxation component to it. There are many aspects to sleep disturbance, which may be related to lack of physical exercise during the day, as well as the inability to relax. So we need to understand what's really causing the sleep disturbance. Is the individual anxious and can't fall asleep, or are they being awakened by hot flashes, which is a physiological problem? Or if the problem is sleeping and napping during the day due to fatigue, then they don't feel tired at the time they should be sleeping at night. All of these issues have to be reviewed very carefully and if one can identify the cause of the sleeplessness it's far better to treat that condition rather than use medication. Again, medications are fine for short term problems that disrupt sleep such as pain and anxiety. But if there is a chronic ongoing sleep problem, then it's important to try and find out what's causing it.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Thinking and Memory Challenges featured Patricia A. Ganz, M.D. and moderator Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about the memory and concentration challenges that can happen during and after breast cancer treatment.

Flying Dutchman and WTCC frontrunner Tom Coronel has signed a 'multi-year' sponsorship and brand ambassadorial deal with American oil giants Valvoline.
As part of the deal, Coronel will run with a Valvoline-branded ROAL Motorsport BMW 320 TC alongside his other personal and team sponsors and will use Valvoline products in every race for 2013.
"The sponsorship agreement with Tom Coronel of ROAL Motorsport BMW race team is a logical expansion, increasing Valvoline's brand exposure and association with a driver that has a long track record of top racing performance," Roger Van Vlijmen, head of Valvoline marketing for Europe, commented.
Two-time FIA WTCC Independent champion Coronel says he is now 'even more driven' to win races and challenge for the championship having landed Valvoline's backing.
"I have known the Valvoline name for a long time and we share the same passion for motorsports," he claimed, "Valvoline is a brand with a rich heritage within motorsports, having competed in several world championships. Having the Valvoline brand as a partner gives me even more drive to be more successful and compete for the World Championship with the FIA WTCC."
Coronel, ROAL and Valvoline will kick-off their WTCC campaign at Monza this weekend.

From very large to very light jets about to crest the horizon, Pratt & Whitney Canada engines power some of business aviation's most exciting designs. Anticipation and optimism are whetting the appetite for information not only about the airplanes, but also the engines that will propel them and the systems that will guide them. The NBAA Convention, as usual, serves as the venue for digesting a year's worth of news.
With two of P&WC's spotlight-grabbing PW600-series engines within weeks of reaching customers' hands aboard the first certified VLJs (the Cessna Citation Mustang and Eclipse 500), the company has plenty to talk about. Pratt & Whitney Canada president Alain Bellemare met with NBAA Convention News to offer an update on his company's accomplishments and prospects in the business aviation and regional airline markets.
Last year you mentioned that around 20 new engines were in development. Can you talk about some of them and reveal how close you are to launch dates?
Our development programs on all fronts–turboshaft, turboprop and turbofan–are advancing very well. In fact, in the last two months alone we have certified the PW610F engine, which is powering the Eclipse 500. We received FAA validation of the PW615F, which is the engine on Cessna's Mustang, and the PW617F for the Embraer Phenom 100 had its first engine run. Another program that is progressing very well is the FADEC-controlled PW535B for the latest Citation Encore. We will certify this engine shortly.
On the helicopter front, the PW210 engine is the newest addition to Pratt & Whitney Canada's PW200 family. Its design leverages the extensive field experience of PW206 and PW207 engines in service as well as the newest technology advancements in design and development. We continue to invest in new products and technologies, and I believe it shows in our wide portfolio of engine families.
You mentioned certification for the PW610F and PW615F as well as for the PW617F for the Phenom 100. How many of the -610F and -615F have been delivered to Eclipse and Cessna? Is there a firm certification date for the -617F?
The PW610F received its provisional certification on July 27 of this year and its full type certification on August 22, followed by FAA certification a day later. The PW615F was type certified on December 30, 2005, and got its FAA certification just last month, on the eighth. The PW617 engine certification is targeted for the fourth quarter next year. The Embraer Phenom 100 is planned to enter service in mid-2008. Production levels continue to accelerate as planned. We have delivered more than 50 of these new PW600 series engines to date.
Last year you discussed the PW535E for the Phenom 300. How is the planned certification timetable progressing?
The PW535E engine program is progressing well. We are entering the detail design phase and are targeting a first engine run next June. We are planning initial tests aboard our Boeing 720 flying testbed for the fourth quarter of next year.
What is the status of the PW307A for the Falcon 7X? Are there specific test result numbers, including noise measurements, that you can reveal?
The program is under way and we are meeting all specification requirements as planned. The engine has accumulated more than 790 hours of flight testing on our two Boeing 720 flying testbeds and more than 3,630 hours on Dassault's four developmental aircraft. The engine was certified in April 2005.
What is the status of the PW210 for the Sikorsky S-76D? Can you comment on flight test progress?
The S-76D program is in full swing and is well under way with the completion of the detailed design phase of the Pratt and Whitney Canada and Sikorsky teams. We're aiming for engine certification in 2008.
You are well advanced in discussions with a number of other prospective customers for the PW210S?
We expect some helicopter manufacturers to announce new programs within the next few months, and we are confident that the PW210S will be selected as the most advanced engine in its class.
Where do you stand with the PW800 technology core demonstrator program?
We have been working on the Advanced Turbine Fan Integrator technology program for the last three years. We are now positioned to support the 10,000-plus-pounds- of-thrust engine market. We believe there is a market for an engine in the 10K-plus class and we continue to invest in technologies to be ready for the next generation of large corporate and regional jets.

Lame O.J. jokes draw Fox's wrath
Twentieth Century Fox is none too pleased with an Internet parody of The Simpsons featuring O.J. Simpson, World Entertainment News Network reports. The studio has asked Web site Broadcaster.com to take down three separate clips of The O.J. Simpsons, which poke fun at the ex-football star's legal woes using a format like the animated show.
Broadcaster.com says the parodies are protected by fair-use laws. "We respect the rights of content owners, honcho Martin Wade said. "Our goal is to be a respecter of content rights and at the same time find legal ways to bring our community members the content they enjoy." Here at The Juice*, we can't help but think making jokes at O.J.'s expense is about 10 years too late anyway, so who cares?

Snooki Partied A Little Too Hard In Miami
It has just been revealed that Snooki was hospitalized in May for alcohol poisoning during taping of the second season of Jersey Shore. Now are we really all that surprised? The crazy woman (pictured in West Hollywood yesterday) is probably on a first name basis with the nurses on the shore!
The incident was kept secret until last week, when the episode aired that would have shown the hospitalization and it was revealed the segment had been cut. Why, oh why?!
"She was so drunk that she had to be carried out of the nightclub 'Dream' by the show's producers," a source said of the wild Miami night. "Snooki was out of commission for about two days and was left in pain after undergoing the hospital treatment."

I got married during Summer on a beautiful, emotional, love-filled day — one which I planned myself, eschewing a wedding planner. I nixed the idea early on, thinking it wasn't something I wanted to spend money on, and I also thought I'd enjoy doing all the planning myself. I love research! I love being organized! Especially when it's all for one lovely day my husband and our families would remember our whole lives. While I'm happy to say that everything turned out great, the long road of planning had its highs and lows — and the lows were so annoying, I wondered why I was trying to plan such a hullabaloo (I remembered eventually).

An amazing photo captures Machu Picchu in what could be the highest resolution image ever taken of the Inca citadel. The historic site, high in the Peruvian Andes, can be seen in unprecedented detail in a zoomable image shot with a resolution of 297,500 x 87,500 pixel (15.9 gigapixels). The picture was taken by Jeff Cremer, it actually consists of 1920 pictures taken with the Canon 7D and a 400mm lens both mounted on Gigapan Epic Pro.

Thanks to Mothering member MrsKoehn for contributing this recipe.
Serves 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 children. Prep time is about 15 minutes.
- 2 ripe organic avocados
- 1-2 organic garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium organic tomato, diced
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice (concentrate works in a pinch)
- 2 tablespoons organic sour cream (plain yogurt, mayo, or whole milk may be used or to go dairy free, omit entirely)

Mash all ingredients together with a fork or whip up in a food processor. Yes, it's that easy and it's SO GOOD. If there happens to be any left over, cover with parchment or plastic completely touching the top layer of dip to keep from blackening. Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, sandwiches, wraps, the possibilities are endless.

The way in which the Metro Council recently eliminated its committee system for conducting public business provided a perfect example of why those committees are needed in the first place.
For years, the Metro Council has sent many important matters to its Finance and Executive committee and Capital Improvements committee before those items are considered at meetings of the full council. That system allows time for public input and comment before the council votes on these issues. The committee meetings also give city officials a forum in which to collect information on issues before acting upon them.
But recently, the Metro Council voted to abolish the committees — an action it took without the usual committee review process. The action came during a discussion that, according to the council's agenda, was supposed to be about changing the time of the committee meetings — not abolishing them altogether.
The Louisiana Open Meetings Law generally requires that members of public bodies consider only those items listed on their publicly posted meeting agendas when they gather to discuss public business.
Parish Attorney Mary Roper told council members at their recent meeting that they could vote to abolish the committees because that action was related to the agenda item about changing the times of committee meetings.
We must wonder if this kind of bait-and-switch concerning agenda items is in keeping with the letter of the Open Meetings Law. At the very least, the council's action violates the spirit of the law. State law requires the advance posting of meeting agenda items so that the public has a clear idea of what will be discussed when members of public bodies convene.
In voting to abolish its committee system, the Metro Council demonstrated that it places little value on public input regarding city-parish issues. The way in which the council voted on the issue showed further contempt for public engagement.
New Metro Councilman Ryan Heck made the motion to dissolve the council committees, and his motion won with eight votes. Council members Joel Boé, Tara Wicker Scott Wilson and Trae Welch voted against abolishing the committee meetings. Heck said he was attempting to streamline government by eliminating the committee meetings. He also said that the Metro Council can vote to reinstate the committee meetings if they seem necessary.
The previous Metro Council voted to eliminate its committee system in 2009, then reinstated it in 2011.
Because of this history, we're familiar with the arguments for increasing council efficiency by doing away with committees. We readily acknowledge that these committee meetings can be time-consuming and — let's face it — laborious affairs.
But representative government is meant to move through deliberation, and a process designed to include many voices is seldom convenient.
We agree with Boé, who said that in abolishing its committee system, the Metro Council has "pulled the shades down over the public's eyes."

NBA news: ESPN 30 for 30 series takes on the 1980's Bad Boy Detroit Pistons, legacy of technical foul [VIDEO]
on Apr 17, 2014 02:44 PM EDT
Title: ESPN's 30 for 30: Bad Boys
When: 8:00 P.M. EST
Length: 120 minutes
Director: Zak Levitt
Thursday night is the premiere of the latest installment of ESPN's award-winning 30 for 30 film series. This edition focuses on the 1980's Bad Boy Detroit Pistons and how they changed the way teams play basketball going forward.
The Bad Boys remain to this day one of the most infamous teams due to their physical play that ended up being a preview of the change the NBA was in store for. The documentary focuses on not only the team, but the 80's and the rise of the NBA as a major sports league in America. Today the team is known as one of the best and were ahead of their time as a team that would do anything to win. ESPN's summary of the film and its promotional slogan:
For some, the team was heroic — made up of gritty, hard-nosed players who didn't back down from anyone. And for others, it was exactly that trait — the willingness to do seemingly anything to win — that made them the "Bad Boys," the team fans loved to hate.
The Bad Boys left their mark on the league in many different ways, but the true stat they excelled in was the technical foul. During the Bad Boy era the technical foul became more and more frequent, and those Pistons lead the way by averaging almost one technical foul a game throughout their reign.
Head over to Five Thirty Eight to read more about the Bad Boys and their influence on the technical foul and watch Bad Boys on ESPN Thursday.

No kidding, Norbury! I always pay attention when I hear a parent say, "If you don't stop X by the time I count to three..." because I start counting down in my head, to see if they actually follow thru with a time out or even a promise of a time out when they get home. I am a Supernanny devotee, and it blows my mind how after Jo gives these parents a very clear, easy to implement warning/timeout policy, the parents just don't get it. I saw one where the mom was driving with her two boys and saying, "Warning! This is your warning! Warning, boys, I'm giving you a warning! Warning!" until the kids started mocking her saying, "Warning! Warning! Warning!" You are just making empty promises, and removing any power from the word.
I plan to say things like, "I understand that you are angry that you can't have a cookie before dinner. But that is just the way it is. Now you can calm down and play this game before dinner, or you can have your tantrum in another room." If he continues to pitch a fit, I will just remove him from the area until he figures out that screaming will not get him anything. I don't plan to let him scream his head off in the same room where I am working/making dinner.
Handling tantrums in public is another matter, I'm sure. You can't put them in another room, but I could take him outside to scream it out. If he's old enough, he will get a warning with timeout to follow as soon as possible. something like, "This is your warning. If you do not stop screaming, you will be going on a timeout as soon as we get home." Or, if dad is there too, he might be able to do a timeout on a nearby bench or something. We shall see.Married since June 2007, expecting our first child on Christmas Day, 2013

So I went and Saw Daredevil yesterday. I thought it was pretty good but I think that is only because I am a pretty big Daredevil fan. This movie is what Daredevil would be like if it was a television show on the WB. Silly special effects and poorly produced fight sequences. I actually found myself enjoying the sequences with Matt Murdock more than those with Daredevil. I am not a big Ben Affleck fan or anything but the banter between him and Foggy Nelson, his partner was really good stuff. It never felt forced or rehearsed like every other bit of dialogue in the film.
Seeing Kevin Smith in the film was a nice surprise but it only served to remind me of his own take on the character which was about a million times more interesting. Most people will tell you Frank Miller wrote the greatest Daredevil story ever but I honestly think Kevin Smith's "Guardian Devil" series with Quesada is my favorite. As soon as I saw him it brought back memories of those books and I just felt even more let down by what I was seeing on the screen.
Oh well, it was still Daredevil on the big screen. It was fun to watch him jump around and stuff. The way they did his second sight shit was awesome. Will I get it on DVD? Probably not. Go see it some afternoon though if for no other reason than to see the bad ass X-Men 2 trailer.
So the Synaptics touchpad on my Acer TravelMate C100 tablet PC decided to stop working a few days ago. I tried reinstalling the drivers and got nothing. The properties box for the device says "Hardware not installed" so the little fucker doesn't even think I have a touchpad anymore. I have heard that both the tablet version of XP as well as the standard version have issues with touchpads. If you have any ideas about how to fix this or if you work at Acer and you want to send me a new C102 for my troubles please send me a mail.

ATLANTA ( TheStreet) -- Maybe, finally, an airline is able to play politics with the big boys.
For decades, the airline industry has been a weak sister in Washington politics. Airlines may be widely known, but they have generally lacked political clout, a shortcoming best illustrated by the continuing increases in the industry's federally imposed tax and fee burden. On an average ticket, for a $300 domestic round trip, that burden has risen to 20%, up from 7% in 1972, according to Airlines for America, or A4A, the industry trade group.
In recent years, a single airline, Delta (DAL), has taken the lead in fighting back in Washington, speaking out far more than any other carrier. Additionally, CEO Richard Anderson has worked closely with the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents 50,000 pilots at 31 airlines, pilots and with A4A.
On Tuesday, Anderson will speak to the Aero Club of Washington, a club of aviation enthusiasts. The speech has been sold out for weeks.
Anderson will speak two weeks after the primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor drew attention to one of Delta's key battles. Cantor has been a leader in seeking to maintain funding for the Export-Import Bank, which guarantees loans to foreign buyers of U.S. products. Boeing (BA) customers have been the biggest beneficiaries of the purchases the bank finances. Those customers often compete with U.S. airlines.
But Cantor has also been a Delta ally. He had been seeking a compromise, hoping to please Boeing, Delta, mainstream Republicans and Tea Party Republicans. His loss underscores how tough it is to please everyone.
The bank financing issue is closely related to another key aviation issue, the rapid growth of the three Middle East airlines -- Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar. The three are backed by wealthy governments in the UAE and Qatar. Yet Emirates and Etihad have benefited from Export-Import Bank financing, which theoretically is provided to buyers who cannot secure financing elsewhere, and Etihad has benefited from a recently opened Customs and Border Protection station in its Abu Dhabi hub, enabling pre-clearance for passengers to the U.S., which is very rarely provided.
Three weeks ago, United (UAL) CEO Jeff Smisek told an investor conference that U.S. government officials "don't have the teeth, nor do they have the desire" to serve the interests of U.S. airlines over those of Middle East carriers. But generally, it has been Delta that has been outspoken in publicly raising such issues.
"Delta has been out there on its own (because) it got its merger done first," said a Washington lobbyist, involved in aviation issues, who asked not to be named. "It got its house in order and now it has the luxury to take a bigger view on issues."
Delta's Washington emergence has not been simply a matter of the airline speaking out. It has also accompanied by changes at the industry's two most prominent Washington trade groups.
ALPA's visibility has grown since Lee Moak was elected president in 2011. Moak previously headed Delta's ALPA chapter. He has pushed ALPA to the forefront of issues confronting pilots and the airline industry. He remains a Delta pilot, and he has a close relationship with Anderson.
In a 2012 interview with TheStreet, Anderson called Moak "an incredible leader" and "on a personal level, an exceptional individual," who has good relationships with several Delta executives. "His father was a Marine sergeant and Lee was a Marine fighter pilot, so when you're talking about someone with discipline and determination, you're talking about Lee Moak," Anderson said.

Problem with onObjectValidate on a Related Field

Hi there, I've only been using Filemaker Pro 13 for two weeks. Most of what I've written is working well but I am really stumped on a very simple problem:
I have a field in my products table where the user can select a size from another table. This field shows the size name and works correctly. I then want to display related fields from the size table, so that after the user has selected a particular size, the height and width will automatically be displayed on the products layout. I have set up a relationship between the two tables, and set the height and width of the products table to be calculations, but the height and width never show up on the products screen.
How to fix this?
By usac24
Hello all! Â First time poster here. Â I've built several Filemaker databases over the years, but have never had this issue. Â By the way, using Filemaker 13 on OS X 10.9.
I'm building an inventory database for my wife's company. Â Her business sells retail widgets. Â She usually has several thousand times in stock. Â The unusual aspect (for my purposes) of this business model is that every widget is unique and has it's own serial number. Â The serial number contains data with related info for that particular widget. Â I am trying to create this solution so that as an invoice is created, the widget's bar code is scanned and entered into the line item portal on the invoice, the related data (category, description, price) from the Widgets table is displayed on this line item.
When I tab to the line item in the portal, I enter the serial number in appropriate field, but I cannot get get the remaining, related fields I am looking for to display. Â The ID_SerialNumber field is indexed, but it is not the primary key for the Widgets table. Â I have a field call ID_Widget (serialized, auto-enter on creation) which is the primary key.
I have found a workaround (see pictures), by which I include a field in the portal, LineItems::IDf_Widget. Â By entering the associated number for the primary key, the remaining data autofills in the portal fields just like I want. Â However, this is not a practical solution because the intent is to scan barcodes to generate the invoices rapidly. Â With thousands of serial numbers, I cannot see a convenient method to enter only the related primary key field.
I have attached a picture of the database relationships and a shot of the invoice entry layout. Â I appreciate any and all help.

Valkyria Chronicles
Review by Lathany
"Beautiful: varied missions and decent story make you forgive the occasionally clumsy dialogue"
Valkyria Chronicles is a strategy game on the PS3. The player controls a variable number of characters to take through missions; the protagonist Welkin Gunther and a large cast of major and minor characters.
The controls are relatively easy to get to grips with as the game walks you through the set-up in some easy early missions. That said, I had a few early problems learning to get over barricades (just keep pushing forward) and with a couple of other things - nothing major, though. However, one issue that you should bear in mind is that the game has long loading times. OK, they're nothing to the old days of the tape recorder, but for anyone like me who is used to their games loading instantly, be prepared to wait for a minute for the game to load for missions and other things.
You start just playing a straightforward unit type (a person) for the first few missions, and get given lots of guidance about what you should be doing. Once you reach the militia itself the strategy starts to revolve around choosing the make-up of your squad from five main troop types (usually to supplement a tank). Whilst I think there are definite winning combinations, this has the nice side-effect of letting you play most missions within your own style. Also, to add to the strategy, Welkin can give out orders. These can be used to attack, defend, heal and do slightly weirder things to one or all units.
The missions are very varied (with one exception that I'll come back to) and the creators have gone to some trouble to come up with something rather different each time. More so than I have found in other strategy games. Also, they usually have more than one possible approach to them (although approaches are often similar). This made each new one really seem new rather than a tired variation on a previous mission.
One slight grump I have about missions is that you usually need to start them to find out what you require in your squad and where. Whilst the pre-mission briefing will give you hints, you don't really get to see the terrain map or what's immediately around. This led to me immediately going back a step and redesigning my squad on more than one occasion after I had seen the mission load up.
The list of characters you can put in your squad is pretty extensive - you can choose up to 20 (I think) characters and reserves from a list twice that size. As all the characters have slightly different benefits (and catch phrases), you can personalise your squad to some degree (one of my favourites was Catherine, a sniper: I'm not done yet!). It took me a while to work out what combinations worked - and then to reconsider them after all the troops graded up. It is easy to miss things.
One last thing about the missions themselves - the characters normally give out hints before, at the start of and during a mission. It usually pays to follow these hints; although there are often other approaches.
A difficult decision on the gameplay side is the extent to which you choose to play skirmishes (that is replaying missions, usually minus one or two elements). On the one hand, you will have done them before, on the other it's a form of level grinding if you are feeling underpowered. There is also an extra source of missions through buying the reporter's stories - these are all back-stories of the characters and many of them have missions attached.
One final point which I will carefully make without writing spoilers - the worst part of the gameplay was down to the final mission (you'll know it when you reach it because that's pretty much what it's called). It's a whole magnitude more tedious than anything that has come before, there's no scope for clever strategy (as far as I saw), it's heavily dependent on reloading (which is painful as this is a game with huge loading times) and the writers seemed to think that all that was OK because they'd set it to a new exciting soundtrack (which, due to my constant reloading, I heard less of than the hours devoted to that mission might lead you to believe). Trust me, no soundtrack is that good - I like clever strategy to be required for my final missions, not tedium. Enough said.
I enjoyed the story a great deal. It starts off quite simply, then adds elements in the form of ancient history and key characters and, eventually, explains an awful lot of the country, its attitudes and its misconceptions. The characters themselves are well-chosen for exploring this - Faldio in particular was a lovely addition.
The individual mission stories tend to be good as well - I loved the one just before arriving at the militia in the capital and also the first one of taking the bridge. Both were great twists on perceptions that the characters had. Also - tanks! What's not to love?
The dialogue is good in places, but can also have you reaching for the sick bucket. There is a downtrodden race called the Darscens about which the game makes various unsubtle points about how Racism Is Wrong (yes, it is, but we all got the point hours earlier!). Some of Welkin's nature study conversations can also be rather grim and there's an awful lot about how if we love each other everything will turn out OK. That said, I felt that the game handled other issues, such as death and the nature of the enemy side sensitively.
The characters are pretty good in general. Welkin's nature studies do get rammed home from time to time, but it's equally a refreshing approach to giving a protagonist an advantage over his peers. Of the minor (story) characters I was particularly fond of Rosie, Eleanor, Faldio and Selvaria. Of the minor (squad) characters - I liked all of them and would like to play again with some of the characters I didn't use this time.
Finally, if you are that type of person, there is a huge backlog of reading you can access about the main characters, the side characters, the country and pretty much everything else. Someone put a lot of loving detail into this game and it's a nice touch.
The game is utterly beautiful. I'm not artistic myself, but various people with more of a talent for art (and for computer graphics) made appreciative noises any time they watched me play. Strictly speaking, the missions use what is effectively a 2D map; in practice, you don't notice as the whole effect feels beautifully 3D - hills, buildings and other elements can block line of sight. The characters are carefully drawn and I think they communicate feelings and expressions well.
The cut-scenes in the game are excellent and the whole thing has a consistent style which flows. It's a lovely piece of work and made me fully aware that the PS3 was a member of the next generation of consoles.
The soundtrack of the game is appropriate and I liked it a lot. There is different music for different places, different moods and different types of missions. The voice actors are good and I liked them all. No-one grated at all.
Play Time/Replayability
This is difficult to judge as I played it through once, didn't quite finish, then played it through again from the start. I guess it's between thirty and forty hours on the game clock, with quite a bit more time in terms of reloads. So... roughly two or three weeks of playing.
Final Recommendation
I would say it's definitely worth looking at unless you are allergic to strategy games. It's beautiful, it has some well-designed missions and it's generally a carefully crafted piece of work.

Today's Daily Digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the days weather, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Express Forecast
Today: Mostly cloudy, slight afternoon shower chance. Near 60.
Tonight: Clearing and colder. 30s.
Tomorrow: Sunny and quite brisk. 47-53.
Temperature Map
Miserable March is behind us and, while not quite perfect, the first week of April promises better things weatherwise. Today, temperatures start off near normal with the possibility of a passing shower. A sharp cold front shoves temperatures back down well below normal Tuesday before a partial midweek recovery. Friday may well be a washout, but some warmth may breakout this weekend along with the cherry blossoms.
Today (Monday): Skies are variably cloudy today…tending more cloudy than not, but some sunnier intervals are possible. A cold front sneaking by in the afternoon could set off a line of showers; keep that in mind Nats fans. But any showers that roll through should be fast-moving. Highs are around 60, with winds from the west at 10-15 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Skies clear and it turns noticeably cooler. Lows range from near 30 in the colder suburbs to the mid-30s downtown. We'll have a bit of a breeze from the northwest at around 10 mph, making it feel a little cooler. Wind chills in the 20s the first night of April? Possible – in some of the colder suburbs. Confidence: Medium-High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend…
Tomorrow (Tuesday): Mostly sunny skies in the morning become partly sunny in the afternoon. Despite the decent amount of sunshine, cold winds from the northwest hold highs below 50 in our colder suburbs, with spots just south of town making the low 50s or so. These temperatures are about 10 degrees below average. Wind speeds are generally in the 10-15 mph range, but may gust over 20 mph at times. Confidence: Medium-High
Snow Potential Index
A daily assessment of the potential for *accumulating* snow for the next week on a 0-10 scale. More info
Tomorrow night: Wind diminish some, and with mostly clear skies, temperatures get quite cold. Lows range from the mid-20s in the colder suburbs to the low-to-mid 30s downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
Chilly high pressure is in control Wednesday, meaning mostly sunny skies, with highs mostly in the mid-50s. Overnight Wednesday, skies are clear with lows in the mid-20s to mid-30s. For some of the closer in suburbs, it's not out of the question this is the last freeze of the season. By late afternoon Thursday, some highs clouds increase as low pressure begins its approach from the south, with highs again in the mid-50s. Confidence: Medium-High
Thursday night and Friday are most likely rainy, and possibly drenching as strong low pressure comes up the coast from the south. Insufficient amounts of cold air will be available for winter weather worries, but the clouds and rain probably hold temperatures in the chilly 40s to near 50. Confidence: Medium
The weekend is the best part of this forecast – at least the way it looks now. Friday's storm departs leaving a fairly mild air mass in its wake. Saturday should see at least partly sunny skies, with highs near 60. Spring could breakout big time Sunday, with highs perhaps climbing well into the 60s. However, there's a slight (20 percent) chance of more cloud cover and a few showers which would keep it cooler/grayer. Stay tuned. Confidence: Low-Medium

The Cirith Ninniach was a narrow and rocky pass running through the Ered Lómin in the western part of the Beleriand.
According to The Atlas of Middle-earth, the pass was some fifty miles in length from its beginnings in the coastal lands near the Great Sea to Gate of the Noldor. It was situated between the mountains that divided the lands of Hithlum and Dor-lómin, and served as the means of connecting Hithlum to the Firth of Drengist. A stream was here fed by a freshwater waterfall that ran through the tunnel leading to the Gate of the Ñoldor, as well as other smaller falls coming down from the sides of the mountain.[1]
The cleft was no doubt formed by the many upheavals and tumults in Middle-earth caused by Melkor's marring of world, and the wars made against him by the Valar in their efforts to quell his evils. On their return to Middle-earth, the Ñoldor passed through here and re-entered the Beleriand. When Turgon lived in Nevrast, he built the Gate of the Ñoldor to facilitate travel through the Cirith Ninniach, but when he and his people removed to Gondolin, the place was forgotten for the most part. Later, Tuor passed through here on his journey to Gondolin sitting long there and drinking from the stream.[2][3]
Cirith Ninniach is Sindarin for 'Rainbow cleft' or 'Rainbow pass'[4]

Mistaken ID possible in deadly incident
A witness told police a Clifton woman who was fatally injured in a hit-and-run accident on Main Street appeared briefly to recognize the driver of the vehicle that eventually struck her, according to an arrest affidavit.
Authorities now believe they were strangers to each other.
Mistaken identity
Amber Davidovich, 32, had stopped and spoken to a woman at 903 Main St. around 2:35 a.m. on Oct. 7. Davidovich reportedly asked the woman where she was.
"Witness reported observing a dark-colored truck eastbound on Main St. shortly after and heard the female yell, 'Pablo!' and run toward the vehicle," an arrest affidavit reads. "She reported seeing brake lights on the truck and then the reverse lights. She said the truck backed up and she heard a male voice ask, 'who are you?' twice in a row."
The truck sped away east on Main, the witness said.
Davidovich, a mother of two children, was found in the roadway of Ninth and Main streets and died two days later at St. Mary's Hospital.
'Not going back to jail'
Cody James Boden, 26, is being held on $50,000 bond at the Mesa County Jail on suspicion of failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving death, a class 3 felony.
The Grand Junction Police Department's break in the case came Oct. 16 when Boden's girlfriend called police and said she was a passenger in Boden's truck when he hit Davidovich. She said they had been drinking together at Sabrosa, 122 S. Fifth St., up to closing time, the affidavit said.
On Main Street, she reported they drove up on a woman who was standing in the roadway, "but to the right of their line of travel," the affidavit said. "She stated the female was moving around with her arms in the air and had a purse in one hand. She said their truck hit the female with the right front side, causing her to roll off to the side."
Boden sped away, she said.
"She said she yelled at him to stop and return to the scene but his response to her was that he was not going back to jail," the affidavit said.
She acknowledged they had been drinking heavily and also used prescription drugs earlier in the evening. They returned to their residence at 842 Iowa Ave., Unit 1, in Palisade.
During an autopsy, the affidavit said a detective observed apparent red paint transfer on Davidovich's jeans, which was later compared against Boden's red 2005 Chevrolet Silverado.
Police listened in
The affidavit said Boden's girlfriend agreed to make a phone call monitored by police. Detectives listened in as Boden allegedly admitted watching a woman approach his vehicle on Main Street.
"He stated he stopped to check on the female, backed his vehicle up, then not able to see the female anymore, he 'took off,' " the affidavit said.
Boden, however, in a formal interview with detectives, said he'd hit a man but thought the victim was still standing, "so he drove off."
"Upon further questioning, he then changed his story and sequence of events multiple times throughout the interview," the affidavit said.
Detectives learned Boden allegedly threatened to kill himself, his girlfriend and a third person, "if (girlfriend) revealed what happened that night," the affidavit said.
Already on probation
Boden was serving a four-year deferred judgment and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to menacing in Arapahoe County related to a September 2009 incident in which Boden fired a handgun into the air during a confrontation. Prosecutors dismissed a host of charges in a plea agreement, including attempted murder.
Boden's supervision was formally transferred from Arapahoe County to Mesa County in August.
Boden was a U.S. Army sniper whose return to Grand Junction following a knee injury in Iraq in November 2008 was chronicled in a story published by The Daily Sentinel. He'd enlisted in 2005, attaining the rank of sergeant. Boden earlier this month still listed the U.S. Army as his employer on Facebook.

Basketball legend Herb Fungus was clocked early this morning by the local police driving his Lambor-ghini at 29 mph in a 30-mph zone and staying in his lane after attending an all-night party. "No weaving, no line crossing, nothing," marveled a police officer at the scene.
Outfielder Ty Pesko spotted a suspicious character outside his team's clubhouse today, flaunting a large shopping bag full of banned steroids, and demanded that a nearby security guard kick him off the premises, pronto.
Slugging All-Star third baseman Brady Suggs has declined a $102 million Yankee contract offer and will stay with his financially troubled last-place club—"hopefully for the rest of my life," he beamed. "It would let the fans down if I just picked up and left, and they've been so darn nice to me. Loyalty works both ways, you know!"
TV and newspaper reporters have filed an official complaint against the notoriously approachable ten-time MVP Al Bogus for following them around the clubhouse before and after games and butting in on other interviews to spill his innermost thoughts about his on- and off-field mistakes, his recent divorce, his alleged drug use, and world hunger. "Why can't he just leave us alone?" snarled one reporter.
A parking-lot brawl that erupted outside a Houston after-hours club early today left five-time All-Pro tackle Kent Kubble unscathed as he lay sleeping in his hotel room twenty miles away, having turned in at 10:00 P.M. the previous night after watching Everybody Loves Raymond and phoning his kids back home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to say nighty-night.
Chosen first overall in the 2004 NBA draft, eighteen-year-old high school star Alwon Jikes was charged today with owing more than $13 in library fines after taking out several books last winter for the express purpose of indulging in an Edna St. Vincent Millay orgy and then failing to return them on time.
Toronto police officers discovered six teddy bears and cookie-baking paraphernalia in the trunk of a car being driven by hockey idol Max McNugget early today. The four-time goal-scoring leader was held for kidding and then released.
Chicago Bears Hall of Famer Ticonderoga Welby Jr. has pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal non-abuse after giving his wife, Serena, a $100,000 diamond bracelet to make up for recently forgetting to pick up a quart of milk on the way home.
Veteran pitcher Oland Tiggle, who retired at the end of last season, announced today that he plans to stay retired. "I thought it through and made up my mind," he said, "and to reverse that decision now would make me out to be some kind of fickle idiot—and be so embarrassing."

PIONEERING software developer John McAfee, who is wanted for questioning over the murder of his neighbour, is still on the run.
Despite posting a cryptic post on his blog saying that he was in police custody, McAfee has not been caught, Belize national police have told the Daily Mail.
Police say they simply want to question the 67-year-old about the murder of fellow American Gregory Faull, a Florida native who was found dead at his home last month in a pool of blood on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye.
McAfee's blog, whoismcafee.com, was updated on Saturday with an "unconfirmed report that John McAfee has been captured at the border of Belize and Mexico."
'That is not true. He is not in police custody,' Officer Martinez told MailOnline.
Faull, 52, was shot in the back of the head, according to a police report. There were no signs of a break-in, and a laptop and mobile phone were missing.
The software developer has said he fears for his life and was fleeing authorities with whom he has been at odds ever since refusing to make a donation to a local politician's campaign.
In Belize, a source at the US Embassy said that friends of McAfee denied he had been captured and that they and the police had no information on a possible arrest, the MailOnline reported.
Rumours that the software developer has been apprehended come directly after an interview with CNN, in which he claimed his life was in danger.
Originally published as McAfee still on run, say police

Gov. Charlie Crist has asked the state to reopen an investigation into a 2002 car crash that killed a Polk County teenager.
The parents of 16-year-old Miles White had written the governor, urging an independent investigation, because they believe the Polk County Sheriff's Office did not properly investigate the role one of its deputies had in causing the crash.
The parents believe that Polk sheriff's Deputy Scott Lawson "forced a vehicle from the road, resulting in the death of Miles White," according to a letter from Crist's assistant general counsel, Robert Wheeler, to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
"A St. Petersburg Times investigation revealed evidence that points to Lawson as the cause of the accident," Wheeler wrote.
The governor's office asked the department's Office of Executive Investigations to "gather facts and evaluate the possibility of any illegal or improper actions" on the part of Lawson and the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
"We will be looking at the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the steps it took to investigate from start to finish," said FDLE spokeswoman Heather Smith.
The Polk Sheriff's Office says the agency has no problem with the scrutiny.
"We welcome an investigation into the tragic vehicle crash and all surrounding circumstances by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement," said spokeswoman Carrie Eleazar. "Their office has an outstanding professional reputation for fairness and accuracy. We will cooperate fully with their agency and look forward to their independent assessment of the facts."
Miles White was killed May 31, 2002. He was a passenger in a Volkswagen Passat driven by 18-year-old Adam Jacoby. The Passat ran off a dark country road in the middle of the night in Lake Hamilton, struck a tree and split in two.
Deputy Lawson had chased the Passat more than 15 miles at speeds that averaged more than 100 mph. Lawson, in an unmarked Crown Victoria, never identified himself as a law enforcement officer. The report he filed after the crash included numerous lies, including that he had never topped 70 mph and that radio dispatch had told him the car he was chasing was stolen.
About a week after the accident, Lawson was charged with sexual battery after several young men saw Lawson's photo in news accounts and told police Lawson had sexually abused them. He took a plea deal and is serving a 15-year prison sentence.
The Sheriff's Office never looked into Lawson's possible role in causing the accident. Instead, the office declared the accident a single-car crash, the fault of Adam Jacoby, who had alcohol in his system.
Jacoby pleaded no contest to manslaughter in a plea deal and served three years of probation. But Miles Whites' parents, Jamie and Gary White, always suspected that Lawson, not Jacoby, caused the accident.
The Times investigation found evidence that Lawson knocked the car Jacoby was driving off the road, causing Miles' death.
His parents concluded their letter to the governor asking for an independent look at the case: "We look forward to this investigation as the truth needs to be exposed and justice rendered by law enforcement in our state."

The Abbott government has ordered a management shake-up at Adelaide-based submarine builder ASC as part of an effort to limit cost blowouts and delays on the troubled $8.5 billion air warfare destroyer project.
An independent review of the project was ordered by Finance Minister
The audit found the project was plagued by management and structural flaws spread across almost every contractor involved, with criticism of Spanish ship designer Navantia over poor design drawings, government weapons purchaser the Defence Materiel Organisation over its conflict as both partner and customer, government-owned shipbuilder ASC over inefficient shipyard management and BAE over early hull block construction flaws.
The ministers refused to release the review, carried out by former United States Navy secretary professor Don Winter, but did release a summary of key recommendations. They include inserting an experienced shipbuilding management team into ASC and implementing changes to improve productivity at all contractors involved in the alliance.
The review also says hull blocks may have to be reallocated between the shipyards involved in the project in order to ensure there are not further delays in the delivery of the ships.
Senator Cormann admitted some of the changes were commercially and legally sensitive and likely to come at a cost, but the government would appoint a team of advisers shortly to implement the strategy.
Senator Johnston said when the project began, it was estimated shipyard productivity would reach 80 man-hours per gross tonne, but it was hovering at 150 man-hours per gross tonne. The international benchmark is 60 man-hours per gross tonne.
Ludlam's position unclear
Asked what the management shake-up at ASC meant for chief executive Stephen Ludlam – the former British nuclear submarine industry executive who was headhunted for the post – Senator Cormann said any management changes at ASC would be a matter for the ASC board and its chairman, Bruce Carter. "I have every confidence that Bruce Carter will work collaboratively and constructively with the government to ensure that this project gets back on track and . . . is delivered in the most cost-effective way," Senator Cormann said.
The Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance involves a partnership between the DMO, ASC and US systems integrator Raytheon.
But the 6500-tonne ships being built for the navy are based on a Spanish Navantia design, with hull blocks for the ships constructed at BAE's Williamstown shipyard in Melbourne and Forgacs shipyard in Newcastle, and assembled at ASC. Mr Carter said any management shake-up only related to that part of ASC involved in warship construction, rather than submarine maintenance.
Part of the reason for low productivity at ASC was the need to rework flawed hull blocks supplied by other contractors in the program.
ASC has been improving its effort in maintaining the Collins-class submarines, with more submarines now available for deployment.
"I am confident ASC can work with the government to get the air warfare destroyer project back on track," Mr Carter said.
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union assistant national secretary
"What we need from government is a commitment to develop naval shipbuilding capacity and maintain it, given there are more ships needed over the decades ahead," Mr Thompson said.

David Beckham played at Man. U., then moved to Madrid…
And all the football world was thrilled by all that Beckham did…
I'm sorry. I said football. I meant soccer, so did he
When Beckham told five thousand fans he'd really rather be
Among them in Los Angeles than any other place,
Although across the planet people seeing Beckham's face
Are moved to shrieks of pure delight and swooning happens, too,
For Beckham is a presence. Fame is something he can do.
But let us grip reality, and let us keep in touch
With moderation, for it seems to me a little much
To say the league that's hired Beckham for this five year gig
Is doomed if on the strength of him alone the league can't rig
It's future to his star and draw to all its future games
Not only stars from Hollywood with faces and with names
We know from all the tabloids and the rehab rosters, too,
But humble fans with no more glitz than me and, maybe, you.
For it may be a cheap shot, and perhaps it isn't nice,
But MLS will need, some say, a lot more than the spice
The Beckhams will be loaning soccer played upon the shore
That many feel is clogged with sports, and adding even more
Would be not only silly, but a stupid waste of money…
Were that not witless blasphemy, it might almost be funny.
Look, soccer, also known as football, played around the planet,
Is bigger now than any game we're playing here, so can it
Not just survive but long prevail across the U.S.A
Is not the sort of question I'm inclined to ask today.
For soccer's in the colleges, and in the high schools, too.
And though the women's pro league died, it's coming back. It's true, The Galaxy can't draw like Man United or Madrid,
But what league only twelve years old and growing ever did?
So David Beckham, heartthrob, poster boy and brand sublime
Will kick the ante up but in the long run, over time
The pro game that's so big in places baseball's never known
Will thrill us in this country until MLS has grown
To that propitious stage where we can proudly claim that we
Have joined the world in knowing what a joy their game can be.
And when that happens, maybe we'll look forward to the days
When we can join the world in lots of other different ways.

Its a hard thing to know..there are many that are great pretenders...generally if you go with your gut feelings..it is usually right!!
i think when they listen to what you have to say and when they are there for you when your not feeling well instead of doing something that they had planed for the day but its not just about making soup when your sick beacuz i had that done to me but he ended up leaving me after i ate the soup and there was no affection.
Don't know because no one does
They give you Big Bunny Hugs when you least expect it....mwah!!
ok if one person is taking to u ad shy with u ad he feel happy with u ..ad he is worried for u every time..ad he is doing for u everything for u ..that we call carring nature..bcz u r everything for her..its realty in call..LOVE.
actions speak louder than words. If they make you chicken noodle soup when your sick, or choose not to go out with thier friends because they want to spend time with you. (not all the time though. thats just either clingy or after something else)
You should just know it. I can tell when someone cares about me, they show it.. It's just something you can feel..
wen they die for me and i bury them..haha<br />
Sometimes It's not always something we can tell. It's kinda like love. You can't touch love, but you can feel it. You can't see the concrete form of love, but you can see when love is given. You kinda have to watch for it. Try spending more time with this person, and if you still feel as though they don't care as much for you, as you do for them, then in all actuality, you're probably wasting your time. No matter how much it hurts to say, but sometimes the people you are crazy about, could care less about you. It'll take time and a lot of hurt, but to fix this problem, you have to wing yourself away from them. Chances are you're better off without them. On the other hand, if they truly care about you, they will consider your opinions and feelings. They won't mind talking to you about things nobody else would care to know. Like I said, we kinda have to watch for these things.
we all have the same feelings....... you could tell if thay don't care, that part we are always able to figure out ....eh?
You always ask questions that I ask myself. I honestly have no answer. This is such a good question.

It's your standard feel good piece but there's a bit of background on the man in here.
Mike Emory, another of Vogel's high school teammates and himself a career 1,000-point scorer at Wildwood, recently visited Vogel in Indianapolis, before he was named head coach.
"I was out there about six weeks ago to hang with him and he had a game at 7:30 one night and he left the house at 6:30 a.m. that morning and didn't come home until after the game," Emory said. "That's dedication. The time he's put into this is incredible.
"I think of all the coaches sitting on the sidelines right now saying, 'How'd they hire him instead of me?' A lot of guys got passed up in order for him to get a shot. I think that's a real testament to him."
Emory recalled Vogel's dedication to the game and to his fellow players when the two were teammates with the Warriors.
"He would motivate people all the time," Emory said. "He was the one getting all of us out of bed to get to the courts to shoot and play. I remember being in the car with my mom one day and he was dribbling the ball down the street at full speed in the pouring rain. And I just shook my head watching him.
"More than anything, he's a good guy and a good guy to be around, a real positive guy. There isn't a bad bone in his body and he deserves everything he gets."
