President Barack Obama has just released a statement in which he says he is "shocked and saddened" by a late-night shooting at Colorado movie theater that left 12 dead.
Obama and the first lady called the shooting "horrific and tragic," according to the Associated Press.
"As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family," Obama said, according to the AP. "All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann said they were "deeply saddened by the news of the senseless violence," the AP reported.
UPDATE: Comments from men and women who were at the theater when the gunman opened fire are starting to roll in.
Donovan Tate and his girlfriend were watching the midnight showing of Batman when the shooting started, according to CBS Denver.
"There was this one guy on all fours crawling," Tate told CBS Denver. "There was this girl spitting up blood. There were bullet holes in some people's backs, in some people's arms. There was one guy who was just stripped down to his boxers. It looked like he had been shot in the back or something."
Watch CBS Denver's full interview with Tate:
Another man, who was sitting in Theater #9 when the violence started told CBS Denver "somebody kicked in the emergency exit and started throwing gas grenades and started shooting people at random."
Twitter is flooded with reactions to tragic shooting. Here is what people are saying:
Stephen Keane, @kranepool, asked people to remember this goes beyond U.S. guns laws:
@sathm tweeted his surprise at the overnight incident:
@fr_gonzales, a Texas pastor tweeted his support for all the victims:

Mornings like this remind me why it's great to work at Webmail.us: we like to get things done! We decided that we had to have a feature on Friday morning. It was in testing that afternoon. It went on our system live over the weekend. This morning our customers have a useful new feature.
Winmail.dat - Proprietary Outlook Attachment
This weekend we updated our Webmail product to automatically decode a winmail.dat attachment and break it into an RTF document (Word compatible) and into any other attachments that may have existed inside the winmail.dat. Here's a little background info for those who want it:
When Outlook is configured to compose a message in Rich Text Format (RTF) it generates a file called winmail.dat, a specially encoded file with extra text color and formatting options. Before HTML was widely used to compose email, RTF was the way to get nicer formatting. But other email clients didn't know how to read the special encoding.
Even worse, normal files attached to an RTF'd email were sometimes authomatically zipped up into the winmail.dat as well. So an email sent from Outlook to Netscape Mail, Eudora, Mac Mail, etc. had this extra, useless attachment and no way to get at any other attachments that might have been sent. But our Webmail client will now allow our customers to get at all of the RTF information & other attachments they need.
Open Source Community
For any of you who follow our open-source doings, we are releasing this code to the community. There are another couple of important projects that we're finishing up over the next week or two. We're even planning a new section on our website just for projects completed in-house to be released under the GPL. I'm excited to blog about this more, but I'd better wait until we have at least one of those projects available for you to download!

As promised… Part 2 of the Ardenwood Historic Farm visit… discussing the Patterson House tour!
We visited in Mid-December to go on a tour of the Eucalyptus Grove when the Monarch Butterflies spend their time in their Over-Wintering Phase… have a peek at the 1st part blog here :
After our butterfly tour, we went on the tour of the historic Victorian, the Patterson House.
Originally built in 1857 as a Farm house in which that last Patterson resided until the mid-1960's…
thereby housing three generations of the family!!
The home and surrounding land is now a Park!
It is a wonderful setting for picnicking, lovely strolls, interacting with animals and touring the home.
As well, during the 'active' Summer season, they have many activities that include little train rides AND an active blacksmith workshop!! I'm very excited to visit during the 'season'! (That will likely be a part 3 blog post!)
George Patterson came out to California to take advantage of the gold rush… that didn't work out quite as planned… so after working a bit, in other ventures, he'd gathered enough money to buy a farm and home! The farm was very fertile. He and his wife were able to expand onto the small farmhouse and create a gorgeous white Victorian.
The Docent was super informative and fun, she really took on as much of the persona of the home as possible… and was able to interact with all ages of group!
The land itself is home to chickens, goats, cows, and more which we did not see during this visit. Though there are certainly peacocks… we saw a lovely one milling about the front lawn while were were there!!
Of course, Dano did pull out his EMF meter to take a few readings to see what activity there might be… not really much except for a great old house.
My favorite photos below are of the Exterior of the home itself, an artist's painting of the home, AND in the kitchen was a a list of foods from Way Back When… I had NO idea Welch's Grape Juice has been around since 1872!!!!! WOW!!! 🙂
Some other food surprises :
Jello 1897
Animal Crackers 1902
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups 1917

Florida Concert Band Festival—Clearwater
March 2, 2017
Skycrest Christian School, Clearwater, FL
Please visit Student Activities for more information on registration.
Mr. Nichols outlines 33 risk factors or danger signs for ACSI schools that have contributed to their closures. This presentation was given at the ACSI Anaheim Convention. This is the Power Point portion of Mr. Nichol's presentation which is based off his thesis paper at California Baptist University.
The American Christian schooling movement has deep roots and a rich history, and it continues to produce graduates who can transform our nation with their Christ-centered values. A few years ago Cardus, a Christian think tank headquartered in Ontario, Canada, sought to discover to what extent those graduates are making an impact.In other words, does K–12 Christian education produce its intended outcomes?
Gratitude: it's one of my favorite topics because it has such power to effect change in our hearts, in others, in our communities, and even in our schools. I've invited Jay Ferguson, headmaster of Grace Community School (Tyler, Texas), to write about gratitude as we enter the Thanksgiving season here in the U.S. —Dan
It's a question many Christian parents have asked: By having my kids attend a Christian school, am I nurturing them and equipping them for life in secular society, or am I potentially harming them by shielding them from it? Jay Ferguson, headmaster of Grace Community School (Tyler, Texas), addresses that question head-on in this issue. I hope you'll consider his excellent points.
Our goal for our four children is simple. We want them to become academically prepared, devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Closet Engine Masters! Show Us What You Got …
As you're reading this, we've just wrapped up another AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge at the University of Northwestern Ohio. We've been doing the EMC for 10 years, and we've seen all kinds of great engines, large and small. Those competitors who participate every year have grown to love the sport, and make it a cornerstone of their yearly program, but we know there are many more engine builders out there—both pro and homegrown—who are silently watching from the sidelines.
What is it going to take to get some of the silent majority involved? We know you want to get in the game, but maybe you're sitting on the fence. Here are a few interesting things about the EMC that might get you motivated.
You don't have to be a well-known pro to be in the EMC. Many competitors are enthusiasts like you, building engines in their garage for themselves or friends. We chose a variety of engines every year, ranging from the exotic, to bread-and-butter small-blocks. If you are creating something special for your hot rod and want to show us (and everybody else) what you have before dropping it into your ride, the EMC is for you.
Anybody's engine can be the subject of a full-blown PHR article. Yes, we do feature the winning engine, but we're just as interested in the great efforts that are made by all competitors. No matter who you are, if you wrench together a good-running, solidly built engine that looks halfway decent, we will be asking you lots of questions and taking lots of pix.
The national exposure of competing in the EMC is always a plus. Winning isn't everything, especially in this competition. Many competitors go into the EMC with the suspicion that their specialty niche engine might not end up on the podium—for them it's about bragging rights in their brand universe. Early Hemi? Ford Y-block? Oldsmobile? Your fans will come out of the woodwork.
Just being at the EMC is an experience you will never forget. It's difficult to describe the atmosphere when 40 engine builders converge on UNOH every October. Everybody, from the UNOH faculty and students, to the competitors and PHR staff, has a great time, sharing stories, helping each other, and doing photo shoots—there's even bowling, pizza, and beer on Tuesday night. It's like a family reunion—with twin turbos.
You don't need to spend a lot to be a competitor—or to be an EMC hero. Many of our builders use what they've got on hand, choosing to massage vintage components or swap meet pieces. Others go with traditional mail-order staples, honing the art of the calculated combination. Readers aren't just interested in the one-of-a-kind motor made from unobtainium, they want to check out the stuff they can duplicate in their garages. Many local engine builders compete in the EMC only to find there are lots of new customers near and far who identify with their approach.
Next year, we promise to make it worth your while to be involved. We don't know exactly what form the 2013 AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge will take, but it will be affordable, fun, and simple. Highly streetable and easily reproducible mainstream small-blocks and big-blocks from GM, Ford, and Mopar will be the goal.
Naturally, we will announce the rules and provide the official entry forms on PopularHotRodding.com when the time comes, but I'd also like to personally invite any interested engine-building enthusiast to email me your questions, comments, or concerns about the AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge at email@example.com, subject line "2013 EMC." I promise to respond to each and every inquiry. —Johnny Hunkins

Track Update: Fontana Quarter-Mile To Reopen
The situation looked grim last year when the Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California, closed due to a lawsuit brought against it by the town's few residents who live in the area, which is primarily populated by heavy industry. Fontana is largely given over to manufacturing and warehousing, and the Auto Club motorsports campus (which includes the two-mile banked NASCAR track) resides on the grounds of the old Kaiser steel plant, far away from homes. Nevertheless, environmental complaints accumulated, legal action was taken by an aggressive group of homeowners, and the only remaining quarter-mile track in the greater Los Angeles area was forced to close.
This August, however, the Auto Club Dragway released a statement saying they had agreed to terms that would address the environmental concerns of Fontana residents—the most significant being the construction of a sound barrier. Once those conditions are met, the track will resume operations.
Facebook Topic Of The Month: Chrysler Pulls Out Of NASCAR
On August 7, Chrysler made the surprise announcement that they were pulling out of NASCAR. As in "completely," and "not even keeping the Challenger in the Nationwide series." Despite a bright outlook after the rollout of the new '13 Sprint Cup Dodge Charger in Las Vegas this past March, Penske—who runs most of the competitive Dodge teams—announced a switch to Ford, leaving the Mopar boys with egg on their face. Rather than bleed millions of dollars for little payback (NASCAR stopped being about win on Sunday, sell on Monday decades ago), Chrysler pulled the plug, saving the dough for more worthwhile endeavors. We posted the news, and you guys went on a feeding frenzy. Here are just some of the interesting comments left by readers on the Popular Hot Rodding Facebook page:
Brian Massie: Doesn't really matter. Since the ability to be competitive disappeared long ago, competing doesn't say anything about the quality of the product. It's all about the drivers. And beer.
Steve Vesperman: Of course, it's bad. NASCAR has been on a popularity decline for a few years now. They need all the corporate support then can get, and about 30,000 more fans at each race.
James Sanders: The COT killed the identity of the cars. Shame Dodge is leaving, because the new Charger looks great.
Ted Fox: Bring back the days of stock car racing when you could associate with the car and the driver.
TBone Jones: Who cares because it's NASCAR, and it stopped being relevant in 1977.
Kevin Boatwright: I'm a Bow Tie fan myself, but do love them Mopars. Gonna be somewhat bittersweet. Love to see all three U.S. manufacturers in competition. It's more fun.
Brett Behrens: Well, they're somewhat relevant now that they're using fuel-injection technology from the late '80s
Ernie A. Zavala: I stopped following NASCAR once they let the Japanese in. The ricers should be leaving instead of Chrysler!
VP Fuel: Fuel Cubes Coming To Service Stations
We get buried in industry press releases daily, but this one caught our eye: The RE Powell Distributing Company—one of the largest wholesale fuel distributors in the Northwest United States—has signed on as a distributor for VP Fuels. The significance? Powell is in the business of bulk fuel delivery for regular service stations like Exxon, Texaco, Chevron, 76, Conoco, Mobil, and a lot of independent stations. Now imagine being able to pull up to your local service station, going up to the counter, and buying a 5-gallon can of your favorite VP Fuels racing fuel? Moreover, stations carrying VP Fuel will sport exciting VP Fuel branding, and a spiffy new point-of-sale display called a "Fuel Cube." Yeah, that's the ticket! Let's just hope it catches on in the rest of the country!
Texperts Wanted!
Are you the reigning tech expert on your message forum? Tired of putting in long hours only to be flamed for your hard-earned knowledge? You may have what it takes to write part time for a real magazine, and actually get paid for it. If this is you, this may be your big chance to break into big-time technical journalism and earn tens of dollars! We're looking for a few guys to contribute regular freelance tech content on subjects ranging from engine and drivetrain tech, to suspension and body/paintwork. If you know your tech stuff across a wide range of cars and have decent writing chops, this part-time work can pay for your muscle car addiction. Must be able to take direction well and work within short-term monthly and bimonthly deadlines. Interested parties should contact Johnny Hunkins at email@example.com.
Sound Off!
I Tried It, I Liked It!
I would like to thank you very much for putting a picture of my Javelin in the magazine from the Goodguys Nashville show! It was great meeting and talking to you (even though I had no idea who you were) and showing interest in my car. That was only the second time I tried to autocross the car, and it's a blast! Who knows, I might get into it more, but for now it's fun to run a few laps and call it a day.
Keith Zanone
Wooster, OH
Keith, it was a pleasure meeting you as well. It's good to see more guys with muscle cars trying the autocross. Who knows, maybe you'll even try a road course and do a pro solo event one of these days.
Readers' Projects
Just got my September issue [Readers' Projects] and, wow, out of 20 readers cars, most [12] were Chevys. Don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of street rods, but I feel cheated that only one Ford was shown. I am building a '62 Mercury Comet (with a SHO V-6), but I am not far enough along to send in pictures of it to you. I would like to see more diversity of cars (not all Chevelles). Please in the future go and try to find more cars and then choose a good cross-section across the board.

Sapulpa, OK
"Don't get me wrong, I like all kinds of street rods, but I feel cheated that only one Ford was shown." —Robert Scott
Robert, short of us outright building Ford projects for our readers, what would you have us do? OK, you force us to do this: Attention Ford guys: Send in your Ford projects, or we'll kill you! Seriously, there is no excuse for you not sending in pics of your project, Robert. You've clearly got the car, the motor, and the plan. The whole point of the story was to show off your unfinished project—and yours sounds more interesting than most.
Homebuilt ≠ Low-Buck
Can you please tell me why advertised manufacturer prices are so high for suspension parts? I'd like to see you build a low-buck Pro Touring car. Why can't you build a three-link for a Camaro at home? Let's see you use a little ingenuity and build something, heaven forbid, instead of just bolting parts on. This is America, right? Hot rodding is about creativity and thinking out of the box.
Jim Steppe
Suring, WI
We have such a project car. It's a '67 Cougar called Max Effort. Yes, it's a Cougar instead of a Camaro, but when you're fabricating components from scratch, it hardly matters what brand—the process is the same. Regardless, forget about it being low-buck (frugal, maybe). A completely homebuilt Pro Touring car requires a huge investment in the proper tools, time, training, and raw materials—just ask Bob Bertelsen. (See his homebuilt '71 Camaro on page 30.) As far as suspension parts being too expensive, go out and buy a MIG welder, cold saw, tubing cutter, tubing bender, Heim joints, ball joints, bushings, and tubing, engineer the parts with a decent suspension program, construct jigs, build the parts, install them, scale the car, test it, break it, redesign, retest, then tell us how well your parts work without spending as much as stuff from a manufacturer who does this every day.

Follow these sew-savvy hints to keep your heirloom quilt in tiptop shape and save its history.
They've been keeping Americans warm for centuries, and you likely have at least one or two in your own home. Whether they're prize-winning showpieces or well-loved comforters, quilts serve as records of our lives—and those of our ancestors. If you're lucky enough to have one a relative stitched, keep your heirloom in tiptop shape—and save its history—by following these sew-savvy hints:
Make a clean sweep.
If your quilt is more than 50 years old, it should be cleaned only by a professional conservator, if at all. You can easily clean a newer quilt with a vacuum cleaner. Lay the quilt out on a flat surface, and put a nylon stocking over the end of the nozzle or use a soft brush attachment before vacuuming. You also can air the quilt outside on an overcast day to remove dirt and odors. Wash your quilt only if all dyes are colorfast and it doesn't have any inked signatures. Never launder silks, wool, velvet or hand-painted quilts.
Just encase.
You can store your quilt in an acid-free box, wrap it in a piece of washed, unbleached muslin or fold it in a pillowcase. Never keep it in a cardboard box or plastic bag. If you want to store it in a wooden drawer, first paint the inside with polyurethane varnish and after it's dried, line the drawer with acid-free paper, cotton sheets or muslin. Refold the quilts a few times a year to avoid permanent creases. Smaller quilts can be rolled around a cardboard tube wrapped in acid-free paper.
Go to bed.
The best way to store—and display—a quilt is on an unused bed. Keeping pets and sunshine off the quilt will extend the lifetime of the fabric. Don't banish your quilt to the attic or basement; opt instead for a low-humidity, constant-temperature area. Periodically rest hanging quilts to reduce the stress on the fabric. Never nail or tack a quilt to the wall, and don't pin anything to your heirloom—the pins can leave rust marks.
Fabricate a date.
A quilt's fabric can tell you a lot about its age. The earliest quilts were made of homespun cloth; print materials became common after 1820. Nineteenth-century quilts used cotton—calico, gingham, muslin and solids—along with wool and challis. Frontier women employed muslin, sacking and sample swatches. Victorian-era quilters incorporated expensive fabrics such as silk, taffeta, velvet and satin. By the mid-1800s, women were buying fabric specifically for quilting. During the crazy-quilt mania of the 1880s, manufacturers started selling bundled scraps. Some turn-of-the-century quilts incorporate feed or sugar sacks and even silk swatches that were put in cigarette packs to encourage women to smoke.
Shape up.
Since certain patterns were common to specific groups, eras and regions, a quilt's design might give you clues about its creator. All Pennsylvania Amish quilts, for example, feature straight-edge geometric shapes. Tiny patchwork pieces demonstrate frugality and patience—quilting was an early form of recycling, after all. When using design motifs to estimate a quilt's age, keep in mind that the fabrics might be a decade or two older than the quilt itself.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Disability Services Company Fired Employee Over Discrimination Charge and Threatened Witness, Federal Agency Charged
PHOENIX – Creative Networks, LLC, a company which provides services to the disabled, has agreed to pay $110,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC charged that two coordinators at the company were unlawfully retaliated against on the same day for complaining about national origin and race discrimination and participating in an investigation about it.
According to the EEOC(s suit, Case No. 05-CV-03032-PHX-SMM, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, on May 16, 2003, Rhonda Encinas-Castro went to the EEOC to file a charge of discrimination based on national origin and race. About 14 days later, the EEOC said, Encinas-Castro was fired by the company's executive director for filing the charge. Further, the agency charged, the executive director threatened to fire Kathryn Allen, who had never been disciplined for anything before, because she had been named as a witness in Encinas-Castro's discrimination charge.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects from retaliation both employees who complain about discrimination and those who serve as witnesses to it.
As part of the agreement, besides the $110,000 in monetary relief, Creative Networks must adopt an anti-retaliation policy and provide anti-retaliation training to its employees. Creative Networks is also prohibited from engaging in any further retaliation.
Mary Jo O(Neill, regional attorney for the Phoenix District Office, said, "We will continue to vigorously protect employees who complain about discrimination or serve as witnesses to it because they are the lifeblood to effective enforcement. These civil rights statutes only mean something when people are free to tell the truth about discrimination in the workplace. We have seen an alarming increase in retaliation charges, and we are very concerned that employees know that they can report discrimination without repercussions."
Rayford O. Irvin, acting district director of the Phoenix District Office, added, "As the United States Supreme Court recently reiterated in the Burlington Northern case, the primary purpose of the retaliation statutes is to maintain 'unfettered access' to complaint processes. We will ensure that all employees are protected from retaliation whether they are the filer of a charge or have assisted other employees in their complaints."
Creative Networks, an Arizona corporation with more than 1,000 employees, provides medical, psychological, and educational services to individuals with mental and physical disabilities.
Retaliation charges with the EEOC have risen from 18,198 in Fiscal Year 1997, comprising 22.6 percent of all charges, to 33,613 in FY 2009, accounting for 36 percent of all charges.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

There's nothing more all-American than a hamburger, especially when it's topped by a slice of cheese.
Join Pasadena and more than 25 of its eateries in toasting this traditional cuisine during the third annual Cheeseburger Week, which kicks off Jan. 12 and runs through Jan. 17.
"The cheeseburger was created here. The first documented serving to a customer was here in Pasadena at a place called the Rite Spot, that is no longer in existence. It was at the far side of the Colorado Street Bridge back in 1924," said Leanne Waggoner, external affairs and events manager for the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.
There are several tales as to how the cheeseburger was invented, but all center on Lionel Sternberger, a teen who worked at his father's roadside stand known as the Rite Spot.
One story goes that a homeless man grabbing a bite to eat asked Sternberger to add a slice of cheese to his entree. Another cites that the teen used a slice of cheese to cover a burger's burned side and his customer was delighted. Still one more relates that it was simply one of the young chef's kitchen experiments.
But the truth may not be as important as the fact that the 15-cent Aristocratic Burger was a hit, drawing people from throughout the area to the Pasadena eatery.
Waggoner explained that the chamber is encouraging today's cheeseburger-seekers not to just eat at one venue, but to try as many different burgers as possible and vote for the best. The organization has even posted suggested cheeseburger crawls on its website. The idea is to round up some friends and travel to several eateries, splitting a cheeseburger at each one, and then go online to vote for favorites.
Many of the participating restaurants will roll out special creations or offer dining discounts during Cheeseburger Week. The list of eateries ranges from the obvious locales like Kings Row Gastropub, to the unexpected, like POP Champagne & Dessert Bar and Trattoria Neapolis Italian Restaurant and Bar or Toro Sushi Bar and Lounge.
"Ironically I'm a big hamburger guy, but I'm in the Japanese restaurant business," said Toro owner Alan Lau, who has participated in Cheeseburger Week every year.
Lau explains that his eatery features Wagyu beef, a tender meat from Wagyu cows that are a cross between Japanese Kobe steer and American Angus cows. They are raised on a "beer diet" incorporating a lot of wheat and barley, along with other techniques used in raising Kobe cows.
"It creates a lot more marble, tender meat than a traditional grazing cow," Lau said, adding that the meat is also more affordable than Kobe.
Toro will offer diners a slider boasting a hand-pressed patty of Wagyu ground beef mixed with onions, Japanese Panko bread crumbs and spices, topped with Brie, sauteed mushrooms and a tempura onion ring on a Hawaiian roll, with a side of garlic wasabi fries.
Lau said he likes some of the newer fusion flavors of burgers today and most recently he's been going to Smashburger in Monrovia for its truffle mushroom swiss burger.
"But the way I make it — I'm a traditionalist — I like to definitely start with good ground beef, lightly seasoned. I like onions, lettuce, tomato, and it's amazing," Lau said.
Waggoner said she admires the creativity of many of the burgers offered today as well. She tried a bite of her sister's Peanut Butter & Jellousy burger during a recent visit to Slater's 50/50 in Pasadena and was surprised at how the flavors worked. But in her heart of hearts, Waggoner prefers conventional cheeseburgers.
"I'm a fairly simple, basic, traditional cheeseburger eater. I like Thousand Island, lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese — just the basics," she said. "Just don't overcook it."

Two students killed in shooting at New Mexico high school, authorities say
Two students were killed after gunfire erupted early Thursday at a New Mexico high school, according to police.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office said the person believed to have opened fire at Aztec High, a school of about 1,000 students near the Colorado border, is also dead. No one else was injured, the sheriff's office said. The Navajo Nation Office of the President and Vice President, which oversees territory not far from the school, had previously released a statement saying 15 people were injured.
The FBI and New Mexico state police were investigating.
Officials held an afternoon press conference but released little information about what transpired at the school Thursday morning, including the names of those killed and how the suspected shooter died.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez commended police for their courage and described students "hiding in closets, in teacher's offices and under desks."
"There were several acts of bravery by staff members, teachers and students that were amazing, that actually saved lives," said Martinez, who added that the White House had called, offering its condolences.
As authorities continued to piece together what unfolded at the high school, Martinez said the state education department would send $120,000 to the high school to pay for counselors, social workers and extra security in the wake of the violence.
Aztec Municipal School Superintendent Kirk Carpenter said students and staff had prepared for a day like this and responded appropriately.
"We obviously do drills and hope that nothing ever happens," Carpenter said. "Our staff and even our substitutes reacted in a way that saved a lot of lives."
Police shuttled students away from the school and to a nearby park, where they were to be reunited with their families.
"The school has been evacuated and all students are to be picked up at McGee Park at noon," the sheriff's office said. "Our priority right now is to reunite students with their families."
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office told KRQE-TVdeputies were working to evacuate students to safety and were searching the school buildings.
The shooting took place a week before the fifth anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. On Dec. 14, 2012, a man opened fire at Sandy Hook, killing 20 children and six staff members.
In the small community of Aztec, worried parents rushed to city hall to meet their children.
The police department in nearby Bloomfield locked down school buildings as a precaution, according to the department's Facebook page.

Update 7/26/09: Go check out the modding wiki I helped set up with SRK forum user SeedyROM. We're going to try and collect as much information as we can related to SF4 modding and put it all in one convenient spot. SeedyROM has already collected tons of skins and we have a lot of tutorials and utilities compiled already. http://sf4mods.pbworks.com
Just to get it out of the way: this will unlock everything EXCEPT alternate costumes. Also, these unlocks may corrupt online account saves, so you should probably only use them on offline accounts.
Update 7/11/09: Cheat Engine method now allows enabling alt costumes, but it doesn't really *unlock* them, it just swaps some files locations (i.e., only you can see them online; your opponent sees the normal costume).
Update 7/13/09: Alt costume trainer! Just drop it into your SF4 directory and point it at your SF4 Launcher. Use the F-keys to toggle costumes.
All credit goes out to Shoryuken forums user AceKombat, who made this possible.
The cheat is possible in a couple of ways. The easiest method right now is to use Kennykilla's trainer, which is based on AceKombat's hex codes.
To use the trainer, launch SF4 just like you normally would (go to the options and run the game in windowed mode if it is not already) and sign in to your offline account. Then, open the trainer and click the boxes to choose what to unlock. Once everything is unlocked, go into one of the options, such as the sound or system options, and change something to force a save. This will make your unlocks permanent.
To make sure, back out of the menus and quit the program, relaunch it and check to see if everything is there. You should be all set. However, if nothing is unlocked or you have a corrupted save file, you'll want to try the longer method:
First, download the Cheat Engine program (these codes are confirmed to work with 5.5 but should also work with older versions). Note: this program shows up as a trojan on some antivirus programs, but I assure you that it's fine. Next, download the updated list of AceKombat's hex codes (thanks to Game Vixen forum user fly19840303man for finding the alt costume codes and to Cheat Engine forum user 'dental' for combining them into a single file).
Once you have Cheat Engine installed, run SF4 in windowed mode. While it's running, launch Cheat Engine, click on the top-left computer icon and select the StreetFighterIV.exe process from the list. Next, click on the folder icon to browse to the combined list (it will be called "SFIV Unlock.CT"). A bunch of entries should appear in the list area toward the bottom of the Cheat Engine window.
Click any of the entries in that area and select the ones you want to enable. In the area labeled "Change these values," replace the '0' with '1'. Go through the list to make sure everything was applied with no conflicts, which can happen when you've already unlocked some things the legitimate way. Now, just go into one of the in-game options and force a save by changing something and you should be all set.
For the alt costumes, you can't change the values until you are at a character selection screen. Once there, switch to Cheat Engine and change the values and click the box to 'freeze' the value at 1. From this point on, if you use the initial color, the standard costume will appear, but if you cycle to a different color, it will switch to the alt. This system will stay in effect until you close Cheat Engine (i.e., it will not save even if you force an in-game save like with the other unlockables).
If you have any problems with using the Cheat Engine program, AceKombat made a sweet little tutorial video that will walk you through unlocking Seth.
The procedure is basically the same for unlocking everything, except you're loading the combined file instead of typing in the codes individually.
The modding community is also making some serious headway, though they don't have any dead-simple ways to apply the changes yet. Until that time, I'll just leave you with some teasers: Goth Chun Li, Cammy not-quite-nude (mildly NSFW), and swapping movesets among characters, e.g. Chun Li with Zangief's moveset or with Sagat's moveset:
Update 7/12/09: Here's my video of the Chun Li Goth mod applied:
Various color mods:
Note: if a color doesn't have a convenient number for you (e.g., it's 01_04 and you would rather it be 01_02), open the emz file with a hex editor, scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see the number appear 2 times. Change that to your desired number, save and rename the file to your desired number and you're all set.

Cammy's Juli Mod (credit goes to IceBreakker)
Harley Quinn Cammy (credit goes to Thand)

For anyone who wants to do character mods themselves, here's a link to an automated extractor from Shoryuken forums user Lee Rekka (extract to C:\Program Files\CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV). The resulting files can be viewed using Dragon Unpacker. To edit image files, you'll need a dds plugin for Photoshop (32-bit only) or GIMP (see this post from Game Vixens for details and links).
Update 7/13/09: Music mods! Think the music is shitty? Replace it with remixes of classic SF tunes. All credit for these goes to Shoryuken forums user mmaster_po so give him some rep.
Ken's theme - Hiroaki Yoshida Version (imo better than the ocremix version) for the "beautiful bay" stage:Get Rid of Menu Music (no moar Indestructible):
Balrog's ocremix music for the "drive in at night" stage
Guile's ocremix music for the "small airfield" stage
Blanka's ocremix music for the "inland jungle" stage
Ryu's ocremix theme for the "old temple" stage:
Cammy's ocremix theme for the "Historic Distillery" stage:
Fei Long's ocremix theme for the "Deserted Temple" stage:
Dee Jay's ocremix theme for the "pitch-black jungle" stage:
and heres Ken's ocremix theme (if you want to use this one instead) for the "beautiful bay" stage:
Sagat's ocremix - Beautiful Bay stage (this song fits the stage a lot better than Ken's)
Ken's ocremix - Cruise Ship Stern Stage
Zangief ocremix - Snowy Rail Yard Stage
Sakura's theme - Overpass stage
Chun Li's ocremix - Crowded Downtown Stage
copy files to:
\Street Fighter 4\Battle\System and replace the original file (backup original files first)
Go to the game/sound folder and rename BGM_MAIN_OM.csb and create a blank text file with the same name in its place (another popular option is to copy BGM_END.csb in its place instead).
Get Rid of the Announcer (credit goes to Shoryuken forums user PimpUigi):
1. Disables in game announcer annoyancesUpdate 7/17/09: Automated moveset switcher! (command line only, but still completely awesome; credit goes to Shoryuken forums user Buey):
In the folder *:\Program Files\Capcom\STREETFIGHTERIV\Battle\Narration
Rename BTL_NAR_E.csb to something else, and make a blank text file named BTL_NAR_E.csb
2. Disables pre game/vs. screen/character selection screen announcer annoyances
In the folder *:\Program Files\Capcom\STREETFIGHTERIV\Game\Sound
Rename SELVS_SE.csb to something else, and make a blank text file named SELVS_SE.csb
He still says...
All the things at the beginning of the round...like "Let's Pick Up the Pace!"
"Time over!"
"Draw Game"
and "Double KO"
He no longer says "so and so wins" or anything else.
Simple syntax is: "sf4moveswap.exe set ZGF VEG" to give Vega (Dictator)'s moves to Zangief. You can see the character codes in the program, so you don't have to look them up. Other commands can be seen by running the program without any command line parameters.Here are 3 color mods I made: Scottish Honda, Collosus Zangief, Krang Seth, Seth Venom v3 (added mouth/tongue color and insignia on back), Mr. Fantastic (aka Reed Richards), The Invisible Woman (from Fantastic 4), Rufus as Dr. Robotnik, and some re-skins for the training stage: Escher-themed, holodeck (looks an awful lot like when you set backgrounds to 'low'), and Mario-themed. I did a model edit of Guile to give him a more normalish haircut, which really improves the look of some of his other mods are from a Solid Snake mod with my costume applied).

In recent years, the pace of technology and business change has rapidly increased, requiring new commercial models and changes to the existing models. Companies – all companies, not just technology companies – must now regularly update technology across their entire organizations and customer-facing services and products.
Successful technology projects boost revenues, distinguish a company and its offerings from the competition, and transform and improve a company's relationships with its customers. Failure, on the other hand, can have a profound impact on product development, customer service and market reputation for years to come. Consequently, planning for technology innovation and deployment projects requires careful mapping of strategic objectives, deliverables, and realistic work-around options.
Laurence Jacobs and Nicholas Smith, partners at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, have identified a variety of transaction structures that companies can use to develop new technologies and to leverage existing infrastructure, technologies, and customer bases. They have also focused on the relative strengths and weaknesses of these models in fostering technology innovation and best practices when designing and managing a project to develop and deploy technology or technology services.

Deputy constable hits teen on bicycle in Katy
A 14-year-old girl riding her bicycle was hit by a Fort Bend County deputy constable in a pickup in the Katy area Friday morning.
The incident happened about 6:30 a.m. on Gaston near Fry Road, said Bob Haenel, spokesman for the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
Haenel said the girl, whose name has not been released, was transported to Memorial Hermann-The Texas Medical Center. Haenel said she had head injuries, but her condition was not released.
Officials with Katy Independent School District said the girl is a freshman at Seven Lakes High School at 9251 Fry Road. She was on her way to school when she was hit. The school sent an email to their students' parents informing them that the incident had occurred.
The Precinct 3 deputy constable was on duty and driving a marked pickup. He was not injured.
Haenel said investigators are at scene trying to determine how the incident occurred.
More information will be reported as the story develops.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association
honored Tennessee Tech baseball coach Matt Bragga as Coach of the
Year over the weekend at the annual TBCA awards luncheon.
"I am absolutely honored by this award," Bragga said. "It's one of those things that shows our program continues to make huge strides."
In his sixth season as coach of the Golden Eagles, Bragga led Tech to its sixth ever Ohio Valley Conference championship, a 31-24-1 record and Tech's third ever trip to the NCAA regional tournament, where the Golden Eagles eliminated No. 14 Alabama.
It was the fifth 30-plus win season in Golden Eagle history, and the first time it had been done in back-to-back seasons. Tech had two players named to the all-OVC team, and had six members of the OVC all-tournament squad after going a perfect 4-0 in the OVC tournament to claim the crown.
After the season Tech's A.J. Kirby-Jones, who was the OVC tournament MVP, was named an All-American honorable mention, and Golden Eagle pitcher Ryan Dennick was drafted by the Kansas City Royals. But Bragga led his team to success off the diamond as well. The Golden Eagles held the highest team GPA in program history for the second consecutive year, had 19 players named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, and five players named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
"If it wasn't for the players, this honor wouldn't happen," Bragga said. "The guys we have are outstanding young men on and off the field. You have to have the right players and the right pieces all around you in order to win an individual award."
The award is the first Coach of the Year award for Bragga, and is fitting giving the path Bragga has taken to rebuild Tech's baseball program. Bragga increased Tech's wins each year from 2005-08 before winning his first OVC championship in 2009.
"I am thankful for those who nominated me and those who recognized me for this award, including Cookeville High School coach Butch Chaffin."
The Golden Eagles prepare to defend their title as the 2010 season begins Feb. 19 with a three-game series at Georgia Southern. Tech opens play at home on Feb. 26 with three games against Cleveland State.
