Cleveland, Tn — Last month, the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga's Cleveland (TN) branch fired three employees who were involved in leaving two nooses at its facility. Calvin Thompson, a black employee of six years, told WTVC-TV News Channel 9 that he found the first noose in early October and alerted Y management after he felt threatened. On Oct. 31, he found the second noose.
Lee McChesney, executive director of the Cleveland Y, told the TV station that a lifeguard admitted to creating both nooses with pool rope as a Halloween decoration and has since apologized to Thompson. After further investigation, media attention and a visit from the Bradley County NAACP, the Y fired the lifeguard responsible for the nooses and two other employees who knew about them.

California Employers' Records of Occupational Injury and Illness
California Standards 14300 Purpose
The purpose of this rule (Article 2) is to require employers to record work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses.
Note 1: Recording a work-related injury, illness, or fatality does not mean that the employer or employee was at fault, that a Cal/OSHA regulation has been violated, or that the employee is eligible for workers' compensation or other benefits.
Note 2: All employers covered by the California Occupational Safety and Health Act are covered by the provisions of Article 2. However, because of the partial exemptions provided by Sections 14300.1 and 14300.2, most employers do not have to keep OSHA injury and illness records unless they are asked in writing to do so by OSHA, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), or a state agency operating under the authority of OSHA or the BLS. For example, employers with 10 or fewer employees and establishments in certain industry classifications listed in Section 14300.2, Appendix A, are partially exempt from keeping Cal/OSHA injury and illness records.
NOTE: Authority cited: Section 6410, Labor Code. Reference: Section 6410, Labor Code.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland health officials are warning people against eating a porridge product because of the potential presence of dangerous bacteria in it.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advised residents Friday to not consume or purchase certain lots of rice porridge with abalone made by Korea Food Trading Ltd. because of the potential for the product to allow Clostridium botulinum to grow.
Officials say there have been no reports of illness.
The company issued a recall on April 3 for porridge produced on Nov. 25, 2013. It was sold in 288g containers with the UPC 8 83298 61617 3 and product code 2015-01-24.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled the product in Canada, but Maryland officials say reports show it was distributed to the United States, including to Maryland.

Back in August Dr. Drew Pinsky gave an interview where he discussed some concerns with Secretary Hillary Clinton's medical care. Within the video Dr. Pinsky discusses how some of the medications just don't seem to align with the current treatment protocols:
August – The controversy surrounding Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's health continues to swirl. KABC's Dr. Drew Pinsky says the former Secretary of State may be receiving inadequate health care that is not optimal for her condition.
Hillary Clinton and Dr. Lisa Bardack
(Health News) In 2015, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign released a health statement confirming hypothyroidism as well as allergies.
Dr. Lisa Bardack, her physician, said she regularly takes the thyroid hormone Armour Thyroid and the anticoagulant drug Coumadin to prevent blood clots, as well as an antihistamine for seasonal pollen allergies and vitamin B12, and that she doesn't smoke and only drinks alcohol occasionally.
Armor Thyroid is often given to patients with an underactive thyroid, thyroid enlargement, or to manage thyroid cancer.
After taking a fall in her home in December 2012, she was given blood thinners for a blood clot in her head, and is still taking them as a precautionary measure.
While her doctor says she's in excellent health and fit to serve as president, her health constantly comes under question as the coughing worsens. (link)

The Phuket King's Cup Regatta is to reintroduce windsurfing as one of its competitive classes this year, representing an exciting 'roots' style rebirth of an early component of the classic race. The newly announced Windsurfing Class is held in cooperation with the Windsurfing Association of Thailand (WATH), with races taking place over four days from 2 to 5 December 2012.
In the early years of the Phuket King's Cup, the Regatta included a broad range of watercraft, yet over time it has developed into the foremost big boat race in Asia. In 2009, the organisers reintroduced dinghy sailing to the event, and last year saw kitesurfing added to a diversified competitive roster.

About 14 sailors from the Thai national team will join the windsurfing competition, including Ek Boonsawad, and Siriporn 'Dao' Kaewduanggam. Ek recently represented Thailand at the 2012 London Olympics, while Dao won the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore. There will also be six Thai sailors from the Royal Thai Navy Base in Satthip joining the event, in addition to 20 sailors from abroad.
WATH President and Pattaya Mayor, Ittipol Kunplume, said, "The Windsurfing Association of Thailand is very pleased to see our sport form part of such a prestigious regatta. It is great for the sport of windsurfing in Thailand, a country in which it enjoys strong levels of participation from Thai nationals, and also from visiting guests; there are a lot of tourists and visitors who take advantage of Phuket's superb sea conditions for getting to grips with this enjoyable and challenging sport."
Kevin Whitcraft, President of the Phuket King's Cup Organising Committee, said, "We're pleased to welcome a new generation of windsurfing competitors to the 2012 Regatta. This is an exciting and fun addition to the 'classes of 2012', and so sits well with the thrilling spectacle of big boat racing during the 26th Phuket King's Cup. Phuket could be considered something of an ultimate location for the sport for both professional competitors and also for novices wishing to explore a high-energy water sport."
The 2012 Phuket King's Cup Windsurfing Championships will gather top competitors from across the region, with racers using Starboard 2013 Phantom Race 295 windsurfing boards provided by Starboard, ensuring a parity of equipment for close racing. Quicksilver Thailand joins as a sponsor, providing accommodation for sailors, and Amara Watersports Thailand also provides sponsorship support. Thai windsurfers are expected to perform well in the competition due to the sport's popularity in the country, and given Thailand's exceptional international reputation in the sport.
The Phuket King's Cup Regatta itself will run from 1 to 8 December, 2012, and will host the largest and most competitive fleet of any regional regatta, with the top competitors from around the region and beyond, plus cruising sailors from around the world, taking part.

An introduction to usage
Quotation marks are often confusing to ESL writers unfamiliar with English grammar and punctuation rules. When to use double or single quotation marks is even trickier. However, there's no need to be embarrassed—these upside down commas sometimes confuse even the most seasoned English writers!
How do I know if I should use double and single quotation marks?
This is a very interesting question. The short answer is that it depends on what country you are writing in. In British and Australian English, one typically uses single quotation marks. If writing in North America, double quotation marks are typically used.
However, sometimes a publisher's or even an author's style may take precedence over such general preferences. In Copy-Editing, Judith Butcher points out that some writers have their own system of quotation marks, e.g., double quotation marks for speech and single quotation marks for thoughts. The most important rule when using these little punctuation marks is that the style of the opening and closing quotation marks match, e.g., 'Good morning, Mary,' called Adrian, or "Good morning, Stephen," called Jane.
One of the common ESL mistakes we encounter is the misuse of quotation marks. If quotations are distinguished only by the use of quotation marks and you are quoting more than one paragraph, use an opening quote at the beginning of each paragraph.
Should I use double or single quotation marks for quotes within quotes?
First things first; decide whether you will use double or single quotation marks for the initial quote. If you use single quotations marks, then you should use double quotation marks for a quote within a quote. If you use double quotation marks, then you should use single quotation marks for a quote within a quote. For example:
"When I say 'immediately,' I mean some time before August," said the manager.
"Why did she call the man a 'traitor'?"
Do I use double or single quotation marks for block quotations?
You do not usually need opening and closing quotation marks to punctuate material set off from the main text as a block quotation. Block quotations are typically either indented or put in a smaller font. Quotations within the block will have double or single quotes, according to the convention being used (British or American). As usual, these different conventions for closing punctuation complicate things. Compare the following two examples:
From the Chicago Manual of Style,
The narrator then breaks in:
Imagine Bart's surprise, dear reader, when Emma turned to him and said, contemptuously, "What 'promise'?"
And from Hart's Rules,
'The passing crowd' is a phrase coined in the spirit of indifference. Yet, to a man of what Plato calls 'universal sympathies,' and even to the plain, ordinary denizens of this world, what can be more interesting than those who constitute 'the passing crowd'?
I'm writing in a very specialized field; should I use quotation marks for specialized terms?
In much specialist writing, including linguistics, philosophy, and theology, terms with particular meanings that are unique to that subject are often enclosed in single quotation marks:
The inner margins of a book are called the 'gutter.'
Many people do not realize that 'cultivar' is synonymous with 'clone.'
However, it is still important not to confuse your readers by including too many of these little punctuation marks. Inserting quotation marks may not be essential to your argument. The names of horticultural cultivars, however, should usually be enclosed in single quotation marks:
An example of an apple is 'Jonathon,' of a grape, 'Chardonnay,' and of the Gallica rose, 'Rosa Munda.'
A final word on whether to use double or single quotation marks
While quotations are necessary for most types of writing, too many quotation marks, whether double or single quotation marks, can make your writing seem heavy-handed. To ensure quotation marks have been properly used in your writing, consider sending it to the professionals at Scribendi for proofreading.

Connor reviews 'Red 2'
Something undeniably fun about 'Red' films
With smiles on their faces and guns in their hands, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Mary-Louise Parker are back in "Red 2," the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the 2010 sleeper hit "Red."
There's something undeniably fun about the "Red" films. Like Riggs and Murtaugh in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise, the aging action stars keep the laughs coming as quickly as they fire their weapons. The fun the actors have on-screen (and probably off-screen) is infectious and you can't help but get sucked into the crazy adventures of the retired and extremely dangerous (thus the acronym R.E.D.) ex-CIA agents.
The film begins at Costco with Frank Moses (Willis) and his not-so typical girlfriend Sarah Ross (Parker). Despite trying to settle down and live normal lives, the two are approached by longtime friend Marvin Boggs (Malcovich). With his quick wit and insatiable thirst for violence, danger seems to follow him (and the other agents) wherever they go. From there, Moses and his team learn that they must find a missing nuclear device, which of course, will destroy the world!
To add to the danger, Han Cho Bai (Byung-hun Lee), one of the world's most elite assassins, is out to kill Frank. But wait, there's more! Having accepted a contract from MI6, the tastefully brutal and attractive Victoria (Helen Mirren) is also looking to kill Frank. Anthony Hopkins and Catharine Zeta-Jones also join the cast as a brilliant scientist and a Russian spy.
"Red 2" is not a great film. Why? The plot is all over the place, Bruce Willis doesn't seem to care all that much this time and around and the film is too overstuffed with superfluous subplots and characters. With that said, "Red 2" is pretty damn fun as if you're looking for an easy to sit through Summer time-waster, "Red 2" more than fits the bill.
Like a lot of sequels, "Red 2" tries too hard to give audiences what they loved about the first installment. The filmmakers add more Oscar winning actors, create more elaborate action sequences, and raise the stakes well, twice as detrimental. But nevertheless, the film is able to maintain its predecessors fun and breezy tone.
Though the film's narrative is difficult to follow, it's commendable that writers Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber give the actors a lot to do. In addition to the excellent chemistry among the films actors, the screenwriters provide the characters with many moments and situations that allow them to interact and just have fun with each other. The films running jokes (especially one involving a rivalry between Parker and Zeta-Jones) are generally well timed and mostly hilarious. With what they are given, the actors do a fine job.
As a comic book film, "Red 2" is about as cartoonish as you'd expect. The action sequences progressively escalate and characters' actions are as inconsequential as ever. Like most successful comic book films, "Red 2" often feels like you're flipping through the pages of the latest weekly comic strip. Only in the Sunday newspaper is it acceptable for Helen Mirren to shoot dozens of people just for the fun of it.
"Red 2" has a couple entertaining action sequences, but most of the films amusement comes from the characters' reactions to the gunfire and explosions. Though she's probably been in the least number of action films out of the cast, Parker is one of the films biggest standouts because she brings never-ending energy to an otherwise generic character.
Anthony Hopkins also stands out among the retirees. Though hundreds of actors have played mad scientists bent on world destruction, Hopkins gives a memorable and cheerfully silly performance. His character isn't groundbreaking or innovative in any way, but just seeing Hopkins strut his stuff is enough!
"Red 2" is bigger, longer, and more complex than its predecessor, which is both a blessing and a curse. Regardless of its faults, (and there are many) "Red 2" is still a pleasant trip to the movies. As Bruce Willis mumbles his last line and the film comes to a close, it should leave you with a smile and maybe even a soft yearning for a third installment. Bring on the crutch fights!

The Scariest Waves Ever Surfed
This is not your average surfing video. This astounding footage was shot on August 27th, 2011 by cinematographer Chris Bryan at Teahupo'o, a small village off the coast of Tahiti. At the time these guys hit the water the French Navy had declared the day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone entering the water. Watch and you'll see why. This is probably the most terrifying yet beautiful surfing video I've ever seen. (via stellar)

When Neil Patrick Harris walked out onto the Oscars stage in his tighty-whiteys during February's Academy Awards broadcast, he wasn't just spoofing a memorable scene from "Birdman." Intended or otherwise, his skimpy costume also spoke to how he was exposing himself, putting it all on the line by playing Hollywood's biggest, toughest and most scrutinized room.
Not that he ever let the worldwide audience see him sweat: "Acting is a noble profession," he deadpanned.
It's unclear whether Harris earned another Oscars hosting bid that night. But the peripatetic performer, who previously notched strong notices for Emmy and Tony hosting gigs, keeps putting himself out there: His new variety show, "Best Time Ever," launches Tuesday on NBC, giving him another platform to bring his multiple talents to a big crowd, this time on a weekly basis.
U.S. & World
The TV variety show format is a throwback – and, in some ways, so is Harris, an all-purpose entertainer armed with a quick wit and a gift for carrying musical production numbers. He's built a varied fan base that covers a quarter-century stretch of sitcoms ("Doogie Howser, MD" to "How I Met Your Mother'), and includes movies (from the chill "Harold & Kumar" comedies to the chilling "Gone Girl") and musical (from Broadway's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" to the Comic-Con-friendly Internet romp "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog").
At age 42, Harris is just old enough to remember the end of "The Carol Burnett Show," TV's last great primetime, mass-audience, network variety show – and he's young enough to shake up and update the traditional variety mix. The website for "Best Time Ever," based on the British show "Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway," promises "mini game shows, audience giveaways and hidden camera pranks," along with the usual celebrity guests, comedy skits and songs.
The producers no doubt envision the show producing viral clips. But "Best Time Ever" – like the Oscars, Tonys and Emmys – will air live, rising or falling with the charming, high-energy Harris, no matter what he's wearing. Check out a preview above as Harris bids to bring some new spice to variety.

Mobile data solutions and inter-force IT have a big part to play in cutting police red tape, says a major report.
An interim report on the Independent Review of Policing in England and Wales, published on 12 September 2007, calls for police to be given more freedom from unnecessary bureaucracy and paperwork, and suggests several ways in which technology can help.
Produced by Sir Ronnie Flanagan, the home secretary's senior adviser on policing, the report says that minimum standards of IT functionality are needed and that too many systems are currently developed on a force-only basis.
Poor interaction of multiple systems is not only a problem between different forces, but also within the same force area, claims the report. It says that a date should be set for all forces to ensure that data only has to be entered once into a computer system, and for any onward dissemination between systems to be done automatically.
The National Police Improvement Agency (NPIA) will be carrying out work on this issue in the autumn.
Flanagan also recommends that the Mobile Information Programme Board should identify the costs and benefits of rolling out mobile data on a service-wide basis and recommend the best approach.
Currently, forces are developing their own solutions and rolling them out in accordance with their own business planning.
Continuation of this policy is one option, says the report, but two others should also be considered: a national model for mobile data deployment, with a prescribed technical platform and set of applications; or a hybrid model, comprising a national programme to support multiple platforms and applications, and a national programme to remove obstacles and provide technical, procurement and other enablers.
Elsewhere in the report, Flanagan recommends that by summer 2008 the NPIA should investigate whether Airwave – the emergency services radio system – could gather information on officers' daily activities. This could negate the need for officers to complete paper forms.
Another streamlining initiative that could produce significant time savings is the use of virtual courts, with pilots already being carried out. These would create a virtual link between the custody suite and magistrates' court, reducing prisoner transport costs and making better use of magistrates' time.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith told BBC News that the report reflected the many positive things police forces have done in recent years to reduce crime. She said she would be "constantly vigilant about making sure police can concentrate on frontline policing", and not be distracted by paperwork.
The final report, which will consider in greater detail how the police service can better exploit IT in their work, is expected to be published early next year.

DIY: mercury glass ornaments
I am slightly obsessed w/ mercury glass this year!!!
{lovely globes from pb}
{pretty pretty candlesticks - also from pb}
which got me to thinking about mercury glass christmas ornaments.
... lovely, right? {and again pb}
okay okay. so apparently - based on my googling - mercury glass was sort of the thing last christmas. but this is one bandwagon i don't mind jumping on late.
the problem: i'm cut off on decor this year. {okay not true. but we did just get married a little over 2 months ago ... i have plenty of new decorations around the house w/out going overboard for christmas.}
the solution: i decided to make my own!
* clear glass ball ornaments. (hurry to michael's - they are 50% off!)
* can of metallic spray paint. i used krylon premium original chrome spray paint. if you can find it, pick up krylon's looking glass mirror-like spray paint. {the chrome will work ... however the real mercury glass is more mirror like - so the mirror-like paint is ideal.}
* a gold acrylic paint. i used decoart's dazzling metalic paint in glorious gold. i would consider a silvery gold ... like slightly tarnished silver.* spray bottle of water
* blow dryer
step 1
) spray inside the first ornament ... then let excess water drain
step 2)
spray the chrome (or mirror-like) paint into the glass ornament. make sure to press lightly and rotate the ball until you have a couple light coats. {the lighter the coat the more iridescent the final product!}
the moisture left in the ornament will cause the silver to separate.
continue to roll the ball in your hand until the entire inside has been reached by the silver paint.
step 3)
grab your blow dryer (and a pair of gloves). carefully blow into the opening of the ornament on medium high. continue to rotate as the paint dries. {emphasis on "carefully" because i might have dropped one!} occasionally ... empty out excess water once it separates from the silver paint.
step 4)
though the silver paint is mostly dry, leave the ornaments to dry openings up overnight.
step 5)
add the gold acrylic paint to each ornament and roll until they are coated in gold paint. then place upside down in a throw away tray to drain the extra paint. let them drain for several hours (or again overnight).
step 6)
once again, blow dry until the paint is completely dry ... and shiny. {it will look a bit milky until it is completely dry.}
pop in the ornament tops ... and that's it!!!
pop in the ornament tops ... and that's it!!!
what do you think!?!
if i could change one thing - i would have ordered the mirror-like paint since i couldn't find it in town ... and practiced patience until it came in the mail. i think after the holiday, i'll order the paint and mercury-glass some hurricanes for the mantel. don't worry. i'll be sure to blog about it.

Gross MotorPreschoolersToddlers11 Comments
Balancing is a major gross motor skill for toddlers, and preschoolers, to learn. This is a simple homemade balance beam for toddlers to practice balancing along, at no real risk of falling and getting hurt.
I just read an article at Balanced and Barefoot about the importance of getting the kids moving (and why they fidget), letting them move, and most importantly, building their core strength. Balancing does that. And kids terribly need it.
Making a backyard balance beam is super simple, that toddlers can even make it themselves!
Grab some scrap wood from the garage or shop and lay out in the lawn.
(If you have clean boards, bring it inside for an indoor walk the plank activity, an idea from No Time For Flash Cards.)
Add corners where you like, you could even make a balance beam maze! How cool would that be? We love mazes!
Or one simple piece of board is enough, too.
Set up is as simple as that.
Even more simple is the activity itself!
Just walk the line!
Another walk the line activity that promotes balance for toddlers.
Walk your way across the boards, and learn a very important physical skill.
This is a simple toddler activities include in our 50 activities just for your toddler collection.
A simple balance beam like this will help Henry learn to balance a bike to ride (which he is now older and rode his bike without training wheels at 4 1/2 years old). But this will also help him gain core strength which will hopefully, in turn, help him fidget less.

Amazon has sent an email to customers of its Amazon Instant Video, admitting sometimes the company's HD is not fully HD.
"To provide you uninterrupted viewing we may lower the resolution of HD videos to standard definition during streaming playback" it says. Most technophiles would find this incredibly obvious. Sometimes when your network connection is crappy, the video you're watching gets crappy.
However, as Amazon enters more and more living rooms, the technical understanding of what's going on gets more and more Middle America. And if Middle America paid for Ernest Goes to Jail in HD, it wants 'Ernest Goes to Jail' in HD for Pete's sake.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Amazon's action may head off lawsuits like the great "I'm upset the berries in Cap'n Crunchberry aren't real." That is, by the way, a real lawsuit.
Its message offers $1 refund on every HD movie previously ordered, credited to Amazon's Instant Video (you cannot use it to buy other items on Amazon).
Users employ third-party set-top boxes, like Roku, to access Amazon's (née) HD options and content. Surely Amazon's downgrade will further enable Apple TV's HD elegance in the living room.

There may be aliens out there with vastly superior technology and unimaginable knowledge. They haven't got Le nozze di Figaro #rohfigaro
— Neil Fisher (@nfmusic) September 16, 2013
McVicar's own direction for this revival certainly have revitalised the production... Some subtle changes to Act IV worked well. #ROHfigaro — Tom Oxenham (@tomoxenham) September 16, 2013
@lucapisaroni was brilliant tonight on his ROH debut. Great cast, wonderful production and good fun! #ROHfigaro — Ferry Lichtenberg (@flichtenberg) September 17, 2013
Great cast in #ROHFigaro feels freshly minted in this vivacious revival. But Bengtsson hits the sweet spot with her mini drama Dove Sono!

ROH Figaro as good as you'll ever see. Eliot Gardiner was doing great things with the orchestra. Overture was like it was written yesterday.

A post-election stalemate over taxes and spending could lead Washington lawmakers to bring the country to the brink of recession, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management warns.
The double whammy of increased taxes for those with incomes above $250,000 and cuts in mandated federal spending (also known as sequestration) may be too potent for the Federal Reserve to manage with monetary policy, according to Merrill's "After the Election" report published after President Obama won a second term in office.
"If no compromise is reached by the end of this year, the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget predicts that the nation could face a second recession from the combined spending cuts and tax increases," the report said. "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Congress in September that the tools at the central bank's disposal may not be 'strong enough to offset' the effects of such a combination."
Compromise Likely in Washington
However, the report quotes Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management Chief Investment Officer Lisa Shalett as saying that lawmakers have a vested interest in preventing another recession. That will likely lead to a compromise that includes both spending cuts and tax hikes.
"We think that odds of a kick-it-down-the-road compromise are now rising," Shalett said. "There is no political party that wants to drive the economy into a recession,"
For advisors, this is a good time to help clients formulate year-end tax strategies that offset rising tax rates, such as selected tax-free municipal bonds.
"For some, moving more money into 401(k)s and IRAs offer a tax-deferred alternative that not only helps them prepare for retirement, but which also reduces their tax bill today," Shalett said.
With changes in Medicare in mind, advisors should keep an eye on health care sector companies—particularly those offering Medicaid managed care plans, pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy benefits managers—all of which should prosper under the Democratic president, according to the report. Defense companies, on the other hand, are likely to experience cuts.
3 Client-Advisor Talking Points
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management suggests that clients keep these three points in mind when talking with their financial advisors and tax professionals:
- Review your portfolio to make sure it is diversified, and consult with your tax advisor about what potential tax hikes could mean for your finances. You want to be well-positioned to protect your investment returns in a rising tax environment for both individuals and corporations.
- Consider moving money into 401(k)s, IRAs and other tax-deferred accounts that let you postpone taxes until retirement, and look into increasing your holdings in tax-free municipal finance bonds.
- Be alert for rising interest rates that may slow growth in corporate profits and make fixed income investments more attractive.

When a person goes on a violent shooting or killing rampage targeting innocent people, the public wants to know why.
When a person goes on a violent shooting or killing rampage targeting innocent people, the public wants to know why.
Saying that someone "snapped" is often used to explain the unthinkable, but that's rarely the case, said retired FBI agent Charlie Dorsey.
Police say that James Holmes, the man accused of killing a dozen people and wounding 58 last week at the midnight premiere of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo., had planned the spree for months. Police say he had purchased and trained with weapons and protective tactical gear, and had rigged his apartment with explosives.
"That's not snapping," said Dorsey, who was one of a handful of profilers specially trained to work on child abduction, child murder and serial killer investigations before becoming the special agent in charge of the Tuscaloosa bureau. "That's putting together a plan and going forward with specific steps and actions in furtherance of that plan. That's not somebody who woke up that morning and said, 'Today's the day.' "
The Colorado rampage occurred two days after a Northport man wounded 18 people in a shooting spree that started at a Northport home and continued at The Copper Top, a downtown Tuscaloosa bar located in Temerson Square.
Nathan Van Wilkins, 44, has been charged with 18 counts of attempted murder and two counts of shooting into an occupied building in that shooting spree.
On Monday, he had a preliminary hearing set for 9 a.m. on Sept. 7 at the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse. He remains in the Tuscaloosa County Jail on $2 million bail and is being represented by a public defender.
At least two of the 18 Tuscaloosa victims remained at DCH Regional Medical Center on Monday. Mario Fritz Winkler was in serious condition and Renardo Jackson was in good condition, said DCH spokesman Brad Fisher. No information about Bruce Bankhead, who was shot at the home in Northport, was available.
Tuscaloosa police would not give a specific motive for the shootings. They said, however, that Wilkins had recently been fired from his job. Court records also show that he had financial problems and had filed for bankruptcy in 2011, the third time since 1991.
No two cases can be compared, Dorsey said, but there are often similarities when people embark on a shooting or killing spree. Such people often feel hopeless and powerless about their lives.
"They look around at other members of society who appear to be satisfied with their work, their careers and in loving relationships," he said. "None of these suspects have any of that. They feel like the only 'positive' thing they can do is something like this. It's a way to exert some type of control — they feel they have some type of power when committing the atrocities that they do."
Another common thread is that the shooters rarely plan past the point of the act.
"These guys at this point have surrendered to society," Dorsey said. "They know that their options are to kill, be killed themselves or stay in prison for the rest of their lives. A lot of times, the individual will stay at the scene, give themselves up or try for 'suicide by cop'."
Police have said that Wilkins expected to be killed by police in Temerson Square after The Copper Top shootings. He allegedly eluded officers overnight before walking into a
FedEx store in Jasper to turn himself in less than 12 hours later.
"The minute we entered the FedEx door, this guy threw his hands straight up in the air and said, 'I'm the guy you're looking for. I shot all those people in Tuscaloosa,' " said Jasper Police Capt. Larry Cantrell. " 'I wanted Tuscaloosa police to kill me, but I got scared and left before they got there.' "
Dorsey didn't speak specifically about the Wilkins case because it is ongoing, but he did applaud Tuscaloosa Police and the other agencies that responded to the shooting and conducted the follow-up investigation.
"This is a situation that's impossible to train for," he said. "They're to be commended for a job well-done for stopping something that could've gotten much, much worse."
Such events often seem to come out of the blue, he said, because the shooters are often loners and isolated from those who could pick up warning signs. But those signs are often there, Dorsey said, when digging into a person's past.
"You often see a continuum of behavior. You look back over the years and you see certain types of actions," he said.
