Family members say Zykia Sanders was leaving a party when gunshots rang out. Police do not believe she was the intended target.
There is no clear motive for the shooting and police have not made any arrests.

The drills are just what I need for drilling in wood and not making chips when they come out the other side. They are very sharp which is what I need for drilling in Pistol Stock sets that I make by hand. Thanks again for your fine product.

lots of suction this little vacuum has a lot of suction .easy to use. works great on my tile floors . the cord is a litle short but i use a extension cord and no problems May 26, 2012
very disappointed I thought I would be an Oreck customer my entire life, but that has changed with my use of the Little Hero. I have an upright that I purchased 20 years ago that is still going strong. I also had a canister vac that lasted almost as long. So, when that needed replacing, I went with the Little Hero. I guess things were just made better 20 years ago. The suction is fine, but I don't use it all that often, which is why I'm so disappointed. Already the connector for the brush and the hose/tube has broken. I immediately had problems with the tubes staying connected, but what dealing with that. Now that I can't use the brush, I am sorry to say I will no longer be an Oreck customer. I see the replies from Oreck saying buy "up" to a better model, but I don't need that. I am not hard on this item and it still didn't last more than a few months. I thought I was getting a good buy for my money, but now I have to go buy a new canister vacuum. Sorry to say it won't be an Oreck. September 8, 2012
No power and very disappointing! I was so excited and couldn't wait to have my new oreck at home, however when it arrived I was very disppointed of the product, it doesn't work like it says it would. It doesn't really pick up anything, doesn't work on rugs, it just picks up light dirt nd doesn't have enough power. I don't recommend this product, I'm returning it. May 27, 2012
Amazing cleaning power We have used our LH for four years cleaning up after two cats. The durability and suction are amazing and the amount of cat hair that is collected is just unbelievable. Completely satisfied. We will be purchasing another for our 2nd home. November 15, 2012
Excellent power in this little Hero I wanted the LittleHero for just quick pick-ups but found out that it was a little power house and could be used for more then that. I love it! Now I go for it first over my upright. May 11, 2012
Junk! Save your money!! I bought 2 of these in April. A few months, very little use (maybe used 6-8 times), the thing smelled like it was burning. 3 trips later from the Oreck center which takes me 30 minutes one way, they told me the engine was burned up and they would need to replace it. I was quite shocked that a unit that has not been used very much at all and was new would fail. Fine. They replaced it, and it seems to be working okay. I try not to use it much as I am afraid it will fail again. They are kinda bulky and don't roll well. For the price I was not impressed. Now on my 2nd Little Hero, again, very little use, it smells like the engine is burned up. Again, I will be headed to the Oreck center probably to have the 2nd one replaced. When I called the customer services lines they were always helpful in the past in sending over the proof of purchases to the dealer. However today I got the most unhelpful, irritating rep named Denise #651. From the moment I started to talk to her, I knew she was going to do what she could to make this difficult. Thanks to her attitude I will not be motivated to by another Oreck. I called the dealer service center today to make sure they got my proof of purchase before traveling a long distance. I was told that the rep from Oreck Denise voided my warranty because I told her I used this unit in my office. Let me point out that my office is much smaller than my home, and I only use the unit to clean the 8 steps we have. The unit is to small for big jobs, and to bulky to carry around to clean. They never inspected my unit, and I only used it 4-6 times. I am so disappointed in Oreck overall. I work really hard for my money and they just plain ripped me off. I cannot believe they would not inspect my unit before making a decision. I hope my experience will help anybody out there to not by an Oreck. I think the history of the 2 I have bought speaks for themselves. Save your time and money. November 10, 2012
Frustrating! Pros: Nice suction and upholstery attachment. Cons: Base is lightweight and absolutely will not stay upright, hose will not stay attached, cord is too short, floor attachment lacks suction. Very frustrating! Doubt you will post this review. January 15, 2014
This product was a waste of Money I bought this vacuum about 4 months ago. It is used once a week and the auto cord retractor has already broken. Not only did it brake, but the cord ( which was already ridiculously short) is not stuck with just 2 feet out. The vacuum is unusable and the nearest repair shop is 20 miles away. This is definitely my first and LAST Oreck. I'll go back to Dyson, they are expensive, but last forever without breaking! September 6, 2013
Little hero Recently purchased it,,for its size and weight I find it to be very good.Reaching up high with the extensions,,great for window sills and other places that might be hard to reach.Although I originally wanted the canister with the shoulder strap.I would recommend this product.Good value,price,,Great Oreck product made here in the USA.I'm so glad to help my neighbors keep working. February 4, 2013
A lot of suction I was surprised at how much suction this small vacuum can produce. I am also pleased with the array of attachments. Whether it is tile or carpet, dusting from above or below, this small vacuum also has a no-bag refuse collector. (I hope this company is not the company that sent eKomi to send me an e-mail insisting I complete this survey -- repeatedly.) February 5, 2013
Good for touch ups, not big jobs I received this (by request) as a gift for my birthday in March of 2012. My mom has an Oreck and it's the best vacuum I've ever used. I have a very small house (620 sq. ft.), shag carpet, and a dog with an UNBELIEVABLE shedding problem. My upright vac wasn't able to get cracks and edges, around the chair legs, etc. I thought the Hero would be the answer to my prayers. Eh, mot so much. It's a great little vacuum to have around for hardwood floors, clean out your car, the bathroom floor, etc. It does not have the suction of the other Oreck vacs. The attachment wand is pretty flimsy and comes apart if you put too much pressure on it. March 13, 2013

"The wife is due any day, so hopefully this baby can stay in until after the game on Sunday," Tillman told WSCR-AM, a Chicago radio station. "I hope she stays in – I'm having another girl. Monday, for sure, but if she comes Sunday, I think I'm going to have to be at the hospital Sunday. So, I hope she stays in until after Sunday."
Tillman, 31, has seven forced fumbles, including four in the Bears' 51-20 victory against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. He also has two interceptions returned for touchdowns and 43 tackles this season.

Templeton Rye, the popular pre-Prohibition recipe made in Templeton, Iowa, has crossed the river.
Starting this week, Templeton is for sale in Omaha bars and grocery stores and will be sold across Nebraska.
The whiskey ages for at least four years in charcoal-lined oak barrels in Templeton, Iowa, where it's also bottled.
I checked out a couple of the first Templeton cocktails being made in the city Monday night at Brix.
The La Louisiane is a drink first made in New Orleans in 1937 at the Restaurant de la Louisiane, a famous French Creole spot. It's a cousin of the Sazerac and includes Templeton, vermouth, Benedictine, Pernod Absinthe and Peychaud's Bitters. It's garnished with a lemon peel.
The Alcatraz AZ-85 cocktail includes Templeton Rye, sherry, lemon juice and dark maple syrup. Served over the rocks, it had a mild flavor spiked with sweet maple. The drink is named after the Alcatraz cell where, legend has it, a prisoner received a bottle of Templeton.
Both drinks at Brix are $7 each. A smoked version of the Alcatraz will be on Brix's new craft cocktail menu, which owner Dan Matuszek said will come out in April.
Krug Park, Jake's and Pageturner's Lounge also are mixing cocktails with Templeton.

BEVERLY HILLS, UNITED STATES: Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor,(L), holds up a beaded purse removed from a 30-year-old trunk containing possession's from actress Marilyn Monroe 11 April at Planet Hollywood in Beverly Hills, California. The trunk, which contained over two dozen personal effects and momentos, was personally packed by Monroe in 1961 and kept by a close confidante for more than three decades. An Indiana man won the trunk in a contest sponsored by the American Movie Classics cable channel. AFP PHOTO Kim KULISH/ksk AFP (Photo credit should read KIM KULISH/AFP/Getty Images)
Zsa Zsa Gabor is back in the hospital.
The "Moulin Rouge" actress and Hollywood socialite -- who is turning 94 this Sunday -- was disoriented and vomiting blood in her L.A. home Tuesday morning, her spokesman confirmed.
"Following breakfast this morning… she started coughing up blood and mucus," spokesman John Blanchette told AFP. "[The hospital] sent an ambulance to the house immediately. They've pumped the mucus out of her lungs… and they had to treat some pus pockets in her leg, where there is an infection."
Gabor's husband, Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt, later told The Associated Press doctors told him they hoped to stabilize her leg "in a few hours."
His wife was "sort of conscious" as she was rushed to the hospital, he said.
"She doesn't know what is going on. She has no memories. It could come back but the doctor doesn't know yet," van Anhalt added.
Gabor's leg was amputated on Jan. 14 at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center because of an infection. Last July, the actress, 93, broke her hip and had surgery; she had also been in the hospital due to blood clots.
Additionally, she was partly paralyzed in a car wreck in 2002 and in 2005 she suffered a stroke.
Gabor shot to fame as a sex symbol in the 1950s and has famously been married nine times.

Ed.D. Program
Program Overview
Improving urban education is a national priority, and The Michael D. Eisner College of Education is a national leader in meeting this challenge. With support from the Carnegie Foundation, the Eisner Family, the U.S. Department of Education and others, the College is a leader in educational innovation and excellence. The College brings these same qualities to its new Doctoral Program (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership. This program will create a network of leaders, in separate PreK-12 and community college cohorts, who are committed to profound change for improving urban education.
This selective program is specifically designed to bring together highly motivated, reform-minded leaders. The program features:
- A schedule designed for working professionals;
- Separate cohorts for PreK-12 leaders and community college leaders so students can focus on the unique needs of their segment;
- Preparation for advanced-level leadership positions, such as school superintendent, principal, college president or dean;
- A collegial relationship with faculty and a chance to build relationships with change leaders in the field; and
- A focus on research-based best practice to improve student achievement.
Students meet for evening classes once a week on campus at CSUN, in addition to attending occasional Weekend Seminars, participating in online activities, and conducting independent research.

Today has been a day of software, probably a bit too much time spent on the computer and a few hours looking at a terminal window…
But I did what needed to be done. I now have my laptop refreshed with a fresh install of Windows 7 and a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed. Well they were fresh, now they are updated and have everything needed(that i can think of) installed and ready to print once my Mendel Prusa is assembled. As recommended my Makergear I have installed the Arduino IDE, Printrun(Pronterface) and I have a preliminary setup of Slic3r(he gives you free reign on a slicing program). I also installed OpenSCAD and InkScape so that I can make some vectors to import and extrude with OpenSCAD.
Of course that did not go very smoothly at first, i had to get myself used to a couple of things are I had not used before. Git is an amazing development tool, but as someone who has not tried to do program seriously since 2003 I had no use for it up until now. But with the basic documentation (chapter 2) I was more than able to use it to get all of the items(pronterface, sprinter and i got sfact just in case) that I needed to download from github without having to spend a half hour downloading each file individually.
Slic3r also took a bit of time because it is only written for an x86 architecture… well I had already installed and setup quite a few items on the x64 Version of Ubuntu that I downloaded and so the search was on for a way to make it work. Luckily I found Dusts RepRap Blog and he had just done what I was needing to do and even had it all written out for me.
So with that setup I have been learning more about OpenSCAD and Inkscape so as I come up with ideas I will be able to make them work. I was kind of leery at first of using it as I am not the biggest fan of scripting(although i do enjoy a good terminal session) It is quite straight forward although I expect it to be one of those easy to use but challenging to master kind of things.
So tomorrow i will start the assembly because to my pleasure MakerGear send their kit priority mail. So the week I was expecting to have made all of what I did today even more important.
Later this week I will be doing a full photo breakdown of the unboxing as well as the items included in the kit.
I feel like i should come up with some sort of catchy closing line but alas at this hour my mind draws a blank.

They broke my watch – The Short : Old Timer Clock Shop DESTROYED My Swiss Army Watch
The Long : I took my Swiss Army watch to them last Sept 08 to get it cleaned, and to replace the crystal which had a slight blemish in it. I was told they would call me when it was fixed, he estimated 4-6 weeks, he said he'd have to order the crystal. 6 weeks no call, so I do. Still not done, apparently this crystal is hard to get. Finally December rolls around, and I decide to go and just get it. Come to find out he admittedly busted the crystal to remove it, as opposed to removing the back, that he said would be difficult. So now I can't even wear it, nor am I motivated to go find someone to order this mysterious part.
FAST Forward to 30 minutes ago - Fast Fix Lakeline Mall
I finally take my watch from the shelf it been sitting on to get the crystal fixed. They surprise have one in stock, great. Until I relay them the story and the tech shows me no, real easy to remove the crystal by removing the back, he demonstrates, then PARTS FALL OUT. Your movement is broken he says, about 260$ to repair. The watch 400$ originally. Old Timer has replaced my batteries the two previous times before this fiasco, that was uneventful, never though did they inform me my movement was broken, so I assume it must have been broken when they tried to replace the crystal, thanks Old Timer, for busting my watch and trying to cover your tracks.

Magmortar has long been considered slightly underwhelming; in fact, it was left floundering in NU for the entirety of DPP and the majority of BW. However, Magmortar has found its time to shine in RU. Its excellent base 125 Special Attack and expansive movepool, including Fire Blast, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, and a variety of Hidden Powers, are but a few of the primary reasons for its rise to stardom. Magmortar also boasts a solid base 95 Attack stat that, in conjunction with access to Cross Chop and Earthquake, enables it to blow straight past special walls, such as Clefable and Lanturn. Although Magmortar might not be particularly fast, that odd base 83 Speed grants it the opportunity to outspeed the myriad of Pokemon sitting at and around base 80 Speed, such as Medicham, Gallade, and Hitmonchan. On top of this, Magmortar appears to be perfectly suited to the RU metagame. The tier's premier special wall, Slowking, would usually be a full stop to any special attacking Fire-type, but Magmortar has no problem disposing of it with repeated Thunderbolt and entry hazard damage. The icing on the cake is that Magmortar can bypass one of the most common status conditions to be inflicted in RU: sleep. Tangrowth and Lilligant are extremely popular Pokemon that Magmortar can switch into and eliminate with impunity thanks to Vital Spirit; Magmortar can also deal with the odd Smeargle lead by absorbing Spore and limiting the number of layers it gets up to a maximum of two.
By now you're probably wondering why on Earth Magmortar isn't used on every single RU team. Well, unfortunately for our fiery friend there are a couple of things halting its climb to number 1 on the usage ladder. A couple of sharp, pointy things. Yes, Magmortar despises entry hazards as it is susceptible to all three. To compound this weakness, due to its decidedly average defenses, Magmortar has trouble finding good opportunities where it can switch in. The metaphorical nail in the coffin comes from Magmortar's mediocre defensive typing, which leaves it with weaknesses to Ground-, Rock-, and Water-type attacks, as well as its below average Speed. However, don't let these downsides put you off. Magmortar's merits far outweigh its flaws and it is one of RU's premier Fire-types.
Equipped with its excellent coverage and high powered moves, Magmortar has no trouble blasting past RU's most common walls; Steelix, Tangrowth, Sandslash, Roselia, Rhydon, and Qwilfish are all OHKOed after Stealth Rock. Even RU's premier special walls can't avoid a 2HKO from Magmortar; Clefable is easily 2HKO'd by Focus Blast while Slowking is 2HKOed after Stealth Rock damage. Although Magmortar's average Speed stops it from pulling off a sweep alone, its great offensive presence and movepool ensure that RU's walls will never be safe with Magmortar waiting in the wings. Fire Blast provides Magmortar with an immensely powerful STAB attack and inflicts huge amounts of damage to anything that doesn't resist it. It is Magmortar's most spammable attack, and is what you should be using early-game when scouting the opponent's team. Not only does Thunderbolt give Magmortar coverage against Water- and Flying-types, but it also enables it to get past Slowking, a Pokemon capable of walling most special attackers (especially Fire-types). Having Focus Blast ensures that one of RU's sturdiest special walls, Clefable cant't stop Magmortar's rampage in its tracks, although its accuracy can sometimes be a let down. Hidden Power Grass rounds out the set's coverage by getting OHKOs against Rhydon and Quagsire, as well as a 2HKO against Lanturn.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Thanks to its expansive movepool and good attacking stats, Magmortar can run a wide variety of sets (with varying degrees of success). With Choice Specs equipped, Magmortar's attacks become incredibly powerful, and Magmortar is now able to 2HKO Slowking 100% of the time with Thunderbolt. On the other hand, a Choice Scarf gives Magmortar enough Speed to outrun the entire unboosted tier, as well as land surprise KOs on opponents expecting a more conventional Expert Belt set. However, both of these sets are held back due to Magmortar's inability to switch moves, its low defenses, and its weakness to entry hazards. Magmortar also has a large, though oft-neglected, physical movepool. With Flare Blitz for STAB, along with Earthquake, Cross Chop, Mach Punch, and ThunderPunch for coverage, Magmortar can surprise a lot of its usual counters, as well as handily deal with Fire-types. Magmortar also has Belly Drum to boost its Attack to astronomical levels. As cool as physical Magmortar sounds, its only average Attack and low Speed hold it back. Magmortar has an ample selection of alternative STAB moves to choose from. Overheat has incredible power and is more accurate than Fire Blast, Lava Plume can spread burns to make up for Magmortar's low Defense, and Flamethrower is slightly less powerful than Fire Blast, but it is much more reliable. Taunt enables Magmortar to easily take out defensive Grass-types, such as Roselia and Tangrowth, whereas Will-O-Wisp can spread status. Substitute can be used to ease prediction, although the loss in coverage is quite severe and the loss of health can severely reduce Magmortar's lifespan. Finally, Magmortar can use Cross Chop to hit special walls hard, although most are hit hard enough by Magmortar's standard moves.
Checks and Counters
Due to its great power and coverage, Magmortar doesn't have many counters in the strictest sense of the word; few walls can afford to take two hits (one on the switch in, another as they move second) from the most effective move. Slowking is 2HKOed by Thunderbolt after Stealth Rock and Lanturn is 2HKOed by Hidden Power Grass. On top of this, there aren't many Pokemon faster than Magmortar that can take a super effective attack or a neutral Fire Blast. The best way to stop Magmortar cold, however, is to go by that old saying: "fight fire with fire". Not only does Flareon boast good special bulk, it also lacks a weakness to any of Magmortar's common attacks, while resisting two of them. Furthermore, Flareon can recover and support the team with Wish and Protect, as well as Toxic stall Magmortar. Flareon can also choose to phaze Magmortar out with Roar, which is especially potent when paired with entry hazards. Camerupt is also an excellent counter to Magmortar as it resists Fire Blast, is immune to Thunderbolt, and takes little from a neutral Hidden Power Grass. However, due to its relatively low defenses, Camerupt doesn't enjoy taking too many Focus Blasts. RU's resident Dragon-types, Druddigon and Altaria, stick out as two of Magmortar's most solid counters. Druddigon resists all of Magmortar's moves bar Cross Chop and can OHKO it with Outrage, whereas Altaria is much more defensive and can set up on Magmortar thanks to its good bulk. However, both of the aforementioned Dragons are easily taken care of by Hidden Power Ice. As long as Lanturn doesn't switch into it, Lanturn can take at least one hit from Hidden Power Grass and hit back with a STAB Scald or Surf. When it comes to revenge killing Magmortar, any faster Pokemon that carries a super effective move, such as Archeops, Aerodactyl, or Sceptile, will get the job done easily. One of the easiest ways of limiting Magmortar's effectiveness isn't by carrying a dedicated counter, but by ensuring that you get as many hazards up as soon as possible. Magmortar can lose over half its health just by switching in should it have the misfortune of landing on a complete set of entry hazards. On top of this, Life Orb Magmortar has to deal with recoil wearing it down each time it attacks. In addition, 83 base Speed is quite slow compared to the rest of the tier, so most offensive teams won't have much trouble against Magmortar. As long as you use clever switching and constantly force Magmortar out, it shouldn't be able to harm your team a great deal.

After solving word problems on a worksheet, Prickett's students took mobile devices – iPhones and iPads, a Kindle Fire, and other tablet computers – to areas around the classroom, scanned numbered codes corresponding to the problems they'd solved, and found out if they got the right answers.
"What are you going to tell your parents you learned today?" Prickett asked her class.
"Technology is awesome!" one student yelled back.
Prickett's Alexandria Elementary School class today completed its first exercise in the Bring Your Own Device program – a technology initiative in Calhoun County Schools asking students to bring tablets, cell phones and laptops into the classroom to use as learning and teaching tools. This week, teachers at Alexandria, Wellborn and Pleasant Valley elementary schools began training and learning ways to incorporate the technology into their teaching.
The initiative is different from technology programs in other school systems such Oxford and Piedmont, where students are issued devices by the school for classroom use. The county's program began last year as a cost-saving measure. Calhoun County Schools Superintendent Joe Dyar said a survey showed administrators that almost 70 percent of students in Calhoun County Schools had some type of mobile device that could be used in the classroom.
"We can't afford a one-on-one initiative," Dyar said, using a term by which educators refer to school-issue technology programs. "This makes use of the resources students already have."
With so many different kinds of devices, the challenge for teachers is keeping up with all the technology. Prickett, an avid iPad user, said part of her training this week was learning how to download applications onto different tablet devices.
But in many cases, students are already masters of the technology, said Jeannae Graves, an assistant with i21Zone, the group training teachers how to implement the devices in the classroom.
"This morning we were trying to figure out how to turn the volume down, and one of the students said you can't do that on that device," Graves said. "We just need to listen to them, because they know how these devices work."
In Prickett's classroom today, about half the students had devices they brought from home, and half used iPads provided by the school's library. Dyar said there are 5,000 school system-owned mobile devices across the 17 county schools.
Dyar said so far the program has been a success, but not without some bumps along the way. An overload of devices accessing the school's wireless networks has caused crashes, and the school system has had to increase bandwidth three times this year.
And with technology improvements also comes new challenges for teachers, making sure students are using their devices for learning, and not for cheating.
"The important thing we want people to know is this isn't replacing teachers," Dyar said. "These devices are just another tool, and the teachers need to monitor students and keep them engaged."
Dyar said last year the school system's technology department received six notifications of students attempting to reach blocked material through their devices. The students were spoken to, and Dyar said students who use the devices improperly will be prevented from taking them to class.
Rebecca Grogan, assistant principal at Alexandria Elementary School, said that students are typically too involved in the classroom activities for which they're using the devices to become distracted. She said this morning the school's tablets were used in a lesson plan for students with behavioral problems, and the class didn't have any disciplinary issues.
"They're spending time learning and not in the office," Grogan said. "That's really what this is all about."
Prickett said her exercise today with scanning codes is a way for students and teachers to get comfortable with the devices. But Dyar said the devices can be limitless as educational tools.
"If they're dissecting a certain animal, they can see on their devices the different parts and learn about them even if the animal isn't right in front of them," Dyar said. "It's combining hands-on learning with the technology that really makes it fast-paced."
Dyar said all 17 Calhoun County schools will receive training for the program before the start of the 2014-15 school year.

The Hailfire Droid has a new color scheme, even though it is pretty close to the old one. The V-wing is identical except it has absolutely no weathering, so it looks worse. I'll be more interested in getting the Hailfire Droid, and if the price is right, then I'll get this "clean" V-wing.
I wonder what the prices on these will be
my guess is that they will cost about $15 higher than usual because they come packaged with an $8 figure
like Mr. Jabba, I like the color scheme on the hail fire droid, and I find the V wing to be bland
