"Allergy sufferers require longer term care, so I try to recommend all-natural solutions that keep the sinuses clear for extended periods of time," said Dr. Rohit K. Katial, MD, staff physician and professor at National Jewish Health in Denver and Fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. "One of the most useful practices allergy sufferers can undertake is to use a daily sinus rinse, which helps relieve allergy symptoms naturally."
Sinus rinse has been used in other parts of the world for hundreds of years and is a practice that is recommended by approximately 98 percent of all ENTs and allergists, according to Lynx Research Consulting.
"Just like washing your hands, it's important to rinse out your sinuses as part of a daily routine to stay healthy," said Dr. Katial. "With all the sinus wash products available on the market, I recommend Waterpik's line of sinus rinse products, Waterpik SinuSense, because of ease of use, ergonomic feel, soft tip for sealing and the flow control valve."
Katial says that Waterpik SinuSense offers a natural, easy, effective and BPA-free option for the treatment and prevention of sinus-related symptoms.
In addition to sinus wash, there are some simple tips to follow that help reduce and prevent exposure to allergens:
* Vacuum often
Vacuuming once or twice a week may reduce the surface dust mites; and make sure your vacuum has a HEPA filter to capture dust and allergens. Also, wear a mask when doing housework, and consider leaving for a few hours after you clean to avoid inhaling allergens stirred up in the air.
* Control dust mites
You can't get rid of them, but you can take steps to help keep them under control and lessen your exposure to them. Consider covering mattresses and pillows in zippered, dust-proof covers. Launder sheets and blankets every week in hot water - to kill dust mites, the water needs to reach at least 130 degrees Farenheit.
* Reduce pet dander
If you don't want to part with your pet, keep it out of the bedroom. It's also recommended that you have someone without a pet allergy brush the pet outside to remove dander as well as to clean the litter box or cage. Additionally, bathe the pet frequently to reduce the allergen levels.
* Limit pollen exposure
Prevent pollen from entering your home by keeping your windows and doors closed. Set your central air conditioning to "recirculate," which can keep some pollen and mold from getting into the home, and use a HEPA air filter. And limit your outdoor activity during high pollen and mold counts - find out the pollen count through local weather reports or on sites such as www.pollen.com.
* Avoid mold spores
If you reduce the moisture in the bathroom and kitchen, you will reduce mold. Fix any leaks inside and outside of your home, and clean moldy surfaces. Dehumidifiers will also help reduce mold.
It's impossible to completely avoid exposure to allergens - so what else can you do to help relieve symptoms? Talk with your doctor about the best all-natural treatment options for you and the allergy sufferer in your life.

School board unanimously approves smoking ban
The Jefferson County Public School Board has approved a proposal to snuff out smoking on campus.
Board members unanimously approved a smoking ban at its meeting Monday night.
The policy would take effect at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
Under the proposal, smoking and tobacco products will be prohibited both on campus, in school vehicles and on field trips.
Also, employees will not be allowed to use tobacco in the presence of students.
Several high school students spoke at the meeting Monday, saying smoking on campus is a problem.
"I'm in band and when we're on the field playing, usually we see a lot of people who are smoking on the sidelines. When we're on the field about to march to the sidelines, we see groups of people smoking," said Antwan Shively, a junior at Iroquois High School.
According to tobaccofreekids.org, 25 schools districts across Kentucky are already smoke-free.

Drought-plagued California could stretch its available water supply as much as 30 percent by making more effective use of existing resources, according to a new analysis released by the Pacific Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The study projects gleaning as much as 14 million acre-feet a year, enough to slake the thirst of every city in the state.
The water would be found by expanding use of such existing strategies as conservation, water recycling, rainwater capture, and more efficient agricultural irrigation techniques. Agriculture accounts for some three-fourths of the water consumed in the state.
"We have an unprecedented opportunity to do more with less, and we need to take every possible step to do so," said Robert Wilkinson, professor of environmental studies at UC Santa Barbara and
report co-author.
In January, after the driest calendar year in the state's history, Gov. Jerry Brown formally proclaimed a statewide drought emergency, and called on Californians to reduce water usage by 20 percent.
"As climate change brings more extreme weather, including drought, ramping up forward thinking solutions now will help us be more resilient," said Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, in a statement issued in conjunction with the report, entitled The Untapped Potential of California's Water Supply. "With widespread adoption of available water conservation and efficiency improvements, demand can be met more readily, less expensively, and with less pressure on our tapped-out rivers and groundwater basins."
Since the early 20th century, sustaining Southern California's population growth and agricultural industry has required importing water from the Colorado River and from the Central Valley's Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Importing water was intended to reduce the drawing down of groundwater, but in an average year, California consumes 1 to 2 million more acre-feet of groundwater than is replenished, the drawdown even more severe in drought years, the study found.
Desalination remains an option for acquiring drinking water from the ocean, but because the existing technology is so energy-expensive, desalinated water is far more expensive than water from other sources.
Major water districts have long advocated conservation, and for decades have encouraged the installation of low-flow shower heads and toilets that require less water to flush. As those features have become widespread, water districts are seeing diminishing conservation returns. The next big leap in conservation gains will require homeowners to replace grass lawns with artificial turf, drought-tolerant plants, or other less thirsty alternatives.
The West Basin Municipal Water District, Los Angeles County Sanitation, and the Orange County Water District, among others, have expanded recycling plants, which remove contaminants from sewage, the resulting filtered water being used mainly to replenish ground water. It cannot be put directly into municipal water systems, so called "Toilet to tap" not permitted under California law.
The study's authors believe recycling can be expanded further.
"Our current approach to water use is unsustainable, but that doesn't mean there isn't enough water to met our needs," said Kate Poole, senior attorney with the NRDC's water program.
Though the strategies advocated by the report are widely accepted, there is some skepticism that the projected gains are attainable without enormously expensive investment. The study offers no cost estimates.
The study's perhaps most controversial section deals with the Sacramento - San Joaquin River Delta, from which millions of acre-feet of water are diverted to the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California. The study contends California, on average, diverts five million more acre-feet than is needed to preserve the Delta's ecosystem, and calls that the major component in a "water deficit."
Others contend court decisions limiting diversions have given too much weight to environmental concerns, to the point of hurting agriculture and municipal water supplies. During this drought year, growers have fallowed hundreds of thousands of acres of San Joaquin Valley farmland irrigated in years past by water from the Delta.
A plan supported by Gov. Brown would build new twin tunnels beneath the tunnel to deliver water south. It is now undergoing environmental impact review. The NRDC has opposed the governor's plan as now outlined as too aggressive, suggesting one tunnel would do.

Skip to 0 minutes and 10 seconds Hi and welcome to this course, Process Mining with ProM. I'm Joos Buijs. I'm Assistant Professor here at Eindhoven University of Technology and I've been doing process mining for over five years now. And I would like to make you as enthusiastic as I am about this nice analysis technique. And in this course we will show you what process mining is, what it can do, but also how you can do it. So we will learn concrete skills on how you can apply process mining on the data that we provide but also after this course on data that you have around you because data is everywhere.
Skip to 0 minutes and 45 seconds For instance, if you look what happens in one Internet minute in 2011– so also five years ago or more– what happens in an Internet minute is staggering. So for instance on YouTube, they process 1.3 million video views per minute. Google processes more than two million search queries, et cetera, et cetera. And of course, each of these queries or views creates data, event data even. So in 2011 it was projected by 2015 that the number of network devices would be twice the global population. There's so much data that some even call it the Big Data Crisis. The amount of data companies collect keeps growing but they cannot analyze it all.
Skip to 1 minute and 33 seconds They claim that only a half a percent of big data is actually being analyzed. But at the same time in 2013 $31 billion was already spent on analyzing big data. And, of course, growth is projected. And you see that for instance in two days in 2015 as much data was produced as all of history until 2003. So more and more data is created and we need to make sense of this. And in process mining we focus on event data because event data is also everywhere. Let me give you a couple of examples. For instance, whenever you use your bank card to pay for groceries or whatever, an event is triggered.
Skip to 2 minutes and 21 seconds A particular amount was paid at a particular store at a particular time and place. But also whenever you make a phone call or send an email, data and particularly event data is written. What route does your email take, et cetera, et cetera. Also now with smart TVs they also store when they are on and which channels are watched when. Smartphones, they record where they are and when, which apps are used, et cetera, et cetera. And you can do useful stuff with this. When I come home turn the Wi-Fi on, for instance.
Skip to 2 minutes and 58 seconds And also public transport, of course. With a public transport card you can check in and out and this all creates data– when did I check in and where. And, of course, when you browse the Internet even Future Learn data is recorded– which website and which page was visited, when and for how long. And this can be used to improve. For instance, this course we can analyze which lectures were more difficult than others. Let's go into a bit more detail. So let's take the public transport example. So what does a process related to public transport look like? Well, you start with buying a public transport card.
Skip to 3 minutes and 39 seconds And where you buy this, when, and how much you put on your card can all be recorded. Once you have this card, you can check in on the bus, another event. And then you check out on the bus, another event. You know exactly who checked out where and how long it took, for instance, between check in and check out.
Skip to 4 minutes and 1 second And after you've checked out on the bus you can check in on the bus or the subway or train or whatever and then you can check out again. So there's a whole journey. You're traveling from one place to another, checking in and out multiple times. At some point you also top up which is a different type of activity which is also recorded. And then you can check in and check out again. And finally, of course, you stop. You reach your destination and this process for now stops. But at any point you can start this process again. At every step event data is recorded. Second example, whenever you apply for a loan, this application has to be handled by the bank.
Skip to 4 minutes and 46 seconds So the first step of the bank is to register your application. They have to store it somewhere in an IT system with all the details that you provide. After this, several checks have to be performed but in arbitrary order. So your case is virtually split and three people can work on this together. For instance, your credit has to be checked. Didn't you loan already too much. Thery also have to calculate the capacity. How much can you loan at maximum? And they want to do some other checks in the system. Once all these three checks are performed the process merges again and a decision can be made. Do we approve or reject this loan application?
Skip to 5 minutes and 29 seconds And whatever the decision, an email is sent to you informing you of the decision. So although this may be a simplistic view of a process, I hope you can imagine that handling a loan application follows this type of processes and usually supported by an IT system and therefore creating a lot of data that can be analyzed afterwards. Let's look at a third example. Whenever you order something online, this order has to be delivered. So you have your order and it contains three packages– red, blue, and green. And, of course, once you place the order, somewhere you have to pay so this needs to be tracked. Only once you paid your order will be shipped.
Skip to 6 minutes and 14 seconds So after you've paid, for instance, the red and the green packages can already be shipped. So they're loaded on the truck and moved to your house and they are delivered. And maybe a couple of days later blue is in stock so the blue item is also shipped and delivered at your house. Again, a very simplistic view on the process but I hope you can see that one order has one payment but might contain multiple shipments. And if you're not at home a shipment might have several attempts. You're at home, it's returned and shipped another time. And in a process a lot of exceptions have to be handled. And, again, each step is recorded.
Skip to 6 minutes and 59 seconds So process mining can assist in analyzing all the data that's generated. And I've shown you many examples of processes and software systems that actually support processes. So the bank cards, the public transport card, websites, they're all software systems that in some way interact with the world– you, me, and other systems. And they have to know how to interact with this world. Therefore, they're configured using process models. Process models describe what input can be received and how the software system should react. So this process model in some sense describes the world and using that knowledge they configure the software system. So the software system is actually executing a process. When this happens I have to do that.
Skip to 7 minutes and 48 seconds In this state I can expect this or that. Well, during this execution event data is recorded. Every step, every check in, every order, everything is recorded in databases. And this is the data that process mining looks at. And process mining bridges the gap between event logs, event data, and process models. Process mining techniques can be roughly divided in three categories. Discovery– using solely the event data, we can discover a process model that describes how the software system for instance is behaving. Secondly, we can do conformance checking.
Skip to 8 minutes and 27 seconds Using the added discover process model or a process model that was actually used to configure the system we can check using the data if the system or the users of the system comply with what the process model describes. Finally, once we have a process model, again either discovered or provided, we can enhance this. Since we can relate the data to the process model, we can predict timing information on top of this. Where are people waiting? Which path is most frequently executed? But also how are users in the system collaborating? Processes mining can provide answers to all these questions.
Skip to 9 minutes and 12 seconds In this course we will cover several process mining activities and they cover several phases of a process mining project. So usually you start with the initialisation phase, followed by the analysis iterations, and then you summarize and you implement. For instance, you start with planning. What process am I looking at? What questions do I want answered? And this gives input for the extraction. Depending on the process and the question you want to answer, you need to extract certain data. Once you have the data you can process it. You can filter out particular cases or events to focus further. Using this filtered data, you can do process mining.
Skip to 9 minutes and 58 seconds There are several techniques that can help you and we will discuss the main ones. Then a very important step comes– evaluation. Given the process mining results, for instance a process model, you have to be able to evaluate how good this process model describes the data. And this gives input in changing, for instance, parameters or going back to the data processing phase and applying process mining techniques again. Once, after evaluation, you believe that the results are correct, you can summarize the results and this gives input for process improvement. So based on your summary of the results you can provide concrete process improvements to the process owner.
Skip to 10 minutes and 42 seconds And in this course we will cover the steps from extraction to summarizing these results and we'll mainly focus on the different types of process mining techniques there are and how you can evaluate the results. So in the next lectures, we will install the process mining tool ProM which we will use throughout this course to apply whatever we learn on real data immediately. So I hope to see you again in the next lecture soon.
In this video we discuss that since data is everywhere, event data is also everywhere. We show several examples where event data is recorded in everyday life. We also detail three example processes to demonstrate this. This video is concluded with an overview of how process mining uses the event data that is created, as well as the several process mining activities that are covered in this course.
- This video (and the others videos in this course) still features Joos Buijs, although Joos is not working anymore at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Nevertheless, we can still reach Joos and he still helps us out with the course.

Bluesy jazz: Frigid art with heart
The Dinah Pearson Band
at West Main
July 17
Friday was my second evening watching shows at West Main, and I haven't quite figured the place out yet. They have been promoting shows for live music on the weekends recently, but because of the venue's architectural design, it's hard for more than 20 people to actually see the band.
The downstairs bar, where shows are held, is divided into an adult playroom (containing a pool table and a video game titled something like "Buck Hunter") and a stage/table area. If you're there for a show and arrive later than 15 minutes before the start time, chances seem to be that because of space, you'll be stuck in the playroom, seated at one of the high tables without a direct view.
I was stuck watching the Dinah Pearson Band from a 90-degree angle last weekend, which, if I didn't know better, would have left me with the impression that the lead guitarist, farthest away from me, was a foot tall. (But thanks to the Renaissance, I was not fooled.)
The Dinah Pearson Band plays a version of jazz best described as "icicle jazz"– instead of Janis Joplin's fire-in-the-belly primal screams, Pearson keeps everything on the D.L., only raising her voice when it's truly necessary. The group's stage layout– biggest to smallest– consists of a sax player, a bassist, Pearson, a rhythm guitarist, and a lead guitarist playing a glowing white Strat (or my eyes were fooling me).
Demonstrating an admirable talent for starting promptly, the group played its first number shortly after 10, with the rhythm guitarist singing, as Pearson waited in the wings. The group had an unexpectedly sparse sound for a group with so many musicians, but this proved to be a good thing– each performer knew when to play his instrument and when to shut up, something not terribly common these days. Even the sax player took it easy on me (a confirmed sax anti-lover): Instead of blaring runs, he provided subtle background notes, barely audible over the other players.
On song two, Pearson made her entrance, and the group picked up the tempo. A walking bass line led the song down its bluesy road, in the verse/guitar solo/verse/sax solo sequence. The echo on Pearson's vocals, whether natural or artificial, did not allow me to hear lyrics until song five, and then all I got was, "It's been a long time baby..." a not particularly insightful revelation.
A slower blues progression number was next, propelled by its exquisite walking bass line and hole-heavy guitar solo. A little touch of Zydeco spiced up the next tune, which switched to straight 4/4 blues during the chorus, making for an interesting and catchy number.
The Dinah Pearson Band– frigid art with heart.

Woman's remains found behind wall in husband's house
- A cop says he always suspected husband was responsible
- Contractor found woman%27s skeletal remains behind false wall in house
- House was never searched because there was no legal warrant
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) — When JoAnn Nichols disappeared in 1985, a detective immediately zeroed in on one man: her husband.
James Nichols was a loner, detached and anti-social. Neighbors saw him as odd, someone who would stare into space or sit in his car to read the newspaper. One remembers seeing him driving around with a mannequin in the passenger seat.
Retired Poughkeepsie Detective Capt. Charles Mittelstaedt, who ran the investigation nearly three decades ago, saw more.
"There was no doubt in my mind that he knew where his wife was," Mittelstaedt said Wednesday. "The man was cold. I mean, seriously cold."
Nichols, an IBM retiree, reported his wife missing on Dec. 21, 1985. In December, he died of natural causes at the age of 82. When a contractor was hired to clean out the debris-choked house at 720 Vassar Road last week, workers found JoAnn Nichols' skeletal remains in a container behind a false wall. Officials said she died from a blow to the head.
Mittelstaedt said investigators had never searched the house because they didn't have legal grounds to get a warrant.
Nichols told detectives their marriage was fine, Mittelstaedt said. Police characterized a note left on her computer as depressed, but not suicidal. Their only child, a son, drowned a couple years earlier at age of 25.
"He sat across from me in my office, looked me straight in the face, and told us that he thought she was depressed, he hinted at maybe suicidal," Mittelstaedt said.
"We had suspicions right from the start because of the way he acted," he said.
Nichols was put under surveillance, and investigators learned within weeks that he was visiting another woman.
When confronted with that, Nichols replied, according to Mittelstaedt: "If you don't have a warrant for my arrest, you can talk to my lawyer."
Mittelstaedt said that was the last time investigators talked to him.
There were other strange twists, he remembered.
When police visited the home after JoAnn Nichols disappeared, her car was missing. When they returned, it was in the driveway. James Nichols said he found it at a mall and had it driven home. The car had been washed and vacuumed, Mittelstaedt said.
Meanwhile, neighbors remembered a strange loner who had a sweet wife.
"Everybody kind of thought he was the one that was responsible, just based on his emotionless character and the condition of the house," said Walter Wyskida, a neighbor of 16 years.
Wyskida said Nichols had seven sheds with debris from floor to ceiling. Another friend said Nichols kept a dead cat in a basement freezer.
The modest house on a tree-lined street has a small backyard enclosed by a stockade fence. On Wednesday, a large trash receptacle sat in the driveway.
"He was very strange," said Wyskida. "I never really saw him that much. And when we did, he would just be out staring without saying hello or anything."
Wyskida called Nichols unemotional.
"Sometimes you would see him in the backyard just staring at the open space with no one there. Just very weird," Wyskida said. "He would just sit in the car and read the newspaper and just hang out in the car."
Wyskida said he once saw Nichols driving down the road with a mannequin in the passenger seat.
"A dummy with a hat on," he said.
Barbara Wiest, a neighbor, called JoAnn Nichols, "a lovely, gentle woman.
"We thought she joined a convent," she said. "She was extremely religious."
The discovery of JoAnn Nichols' remains has reinvigorated the investigation, made more difficult by a trail long grown cold.
"Obviously, the evidence is very, very old," Detectives Capt. Paul Lecomte told The Associated Press. "Where we might have gotten a better opportunity … to pull fingerprints or something from it. Where here, we might not be able to. It's so old."
He would not discuss details of the investigation or what evidence had been sent to the police lab, but Lecomte said detectives want to do a fresh round of interviews. Lecomte noted most of the officers who worked on the case in 1985 have since retired or died.
Mittelstaedt, the retired detective, never let the case go.
"I remember the case like it happened yesterday because every time I drove past her house, I wondered if she was in there," he said.
"It's just a sin that he got away with it all these years," he said. "I probably shouldn't say this because it's not politically correct, but I hope he rots in hell."

How can I minimize windows in FVWM? (Solved, sorta)
Is there a way to configure FVWM so that it behaves a bit more like IceWM (and saves me from having to download another WM)?
Specifically, I'm thinking of the behavior in IceWM that allows the user to minimize or maximize an open application from the toolbar by simply clicking on the tab/icon/dialogue box (not sure what to call it). FVWM only seems to allow the user to maximinze an application minimized to the toolbar with a mouse click, not the reverse. (For that, you have to right-click and select Minimize.)
I looked in the forum (not the old one, though, he suddenly remembers
), and I took a look at the FVWM website, but couldn't find what I was looking for. It may be there, but I didn't recognize it. Thanks.
Now that you point it out to me, the answer seems painfully obvious.

Walt - there is a lot you can do with fvwm95 and of course there are limits.
I think F9 minumizes the windows. I suggest starting by reading the Puppy's help system. There is a lot of documentation on fvwm95.
Maybe make a shortcut on the desktop to /root/.fvwm95 and have a text editor set up to make backups. You can edit the file and refresh fvwm95 to see how you like the changes.
As for me, well I'm sort of stuck on icewm.

I'm a long time IceWM user, hence the desire to make FVWM behave more like IceWM, at least for the time being. I don't have Puppy installed to the hard drive (waiting until I get a new computer), so I wasn't sure about downloading additional applications yet. (If I did, where would I put them so Puppy can call them yet not have them erased every time I shut down?)
I'll take a look in Puppy's help section. I keep forgetting that this is a mini-distribution with actual documentation included!
By the way, does anyone know if this behavior is configurable in JWM? (Haven't tried it yet, but the screenshots on the developer's website look nice. Thanks.

Post subject: I figured it out by accident
FVWM does have the same capability as IceWM to raise or lower a window with a mouse click from the toolbar. The difference is that it uses the middle button on a three-button mouse. (I guess it would use the scroll wheel on a mouse with such capability or pushing both buttons together on a two-button mouse set up to emulate a three-button mouse.)
I discovered this by acciden while looking at a FVWM configuration file on http://xwinman.org/fvwm95.php. It did not specifically mention this behavior, but it did assign specific functions to each button. I had tried the left button (which is what has always worked for me in IceWM but only maximized in FVWM) and the right button, which brings up a menu with options to Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, Kill, or Close. But I had never tried the middle button.
Lo and behold! It maximizes the application when it is minimized and minimizes the application when it is maximized. Exactly the behavior I was looking for and FVWM had it all along! I guess an old dog can learn new tricks from a young puppy

the pup001 file stores things like this.
I'm just using the live CD, but all the embellishments/addons etc are stored in the PUP001 'partition' file. As this file is written onto the hard disk, then all the addons are too.

Melody's compassionate and insightful look into codependency--the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another--struck a universal chord among families struggling with a loved one's addiction. Twenty years later, the concepts continue to ring true for millions worldwide, as the book has sold more than four million copies and has been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Melody currently has 13 titles with Hazelden and several more with other publishers. One of Melody's more recent titles with Hazelden is, The Grief Club, which was published in 2006. This inspirational book gives the reader an inside look at the miraculous phenomenon that occurs after loss--the being welcomed into a new "club" of sorts, a circle of people who have lived through similar grief and pain, whether it be the loss of a child, a spouse, a career, or even one's youth. She writes, "There's a secret to getting through loss, pain, and grief. If we're alone we can't see who we are. When we join the club, other people become the mirror. Through them, we see ourselves and gain an understanding of what we're going through. Then slowly, real slowly, we learn to accept who we see in the mirror."
In 2007, Hazelden published Melody's newest title, Gratitude, a beautifully illustrated collection of passages from Melody's earlier work that encourages readers to reconnect with what's truly important in life--the everyday blessings that are ever-present and ever-sustaining.

I am making a game in which a cube travels along a maze with the motive of crossing the maze safely. I have two problems in this.
- The cube needs to have a smooth movement like it is traveling on a frictionless surface. So could someone help me achieve this. I need to have this done in a event callback function
- I need to move the camera along with the cube. So could someone advice me a good tutorial about camera positions along with an object?

Suspect indicted in stolen taxi cab chase, crash
Cab driver locked in trunk during pursuit
A grand jury has indicted a man accused of leading police on a chase in a stolen taxi cab with the driver locked in the trunk.
Charles Black, 30, was indicted on robbery, assault, kidnapping and failure to comply with police orders charges.
Officers believe the cab driver, 30-year-old Mulugeta Shiferaw, was locked inside the trunk for 10 hours before he was rescued and taken to a hospital.
"He was in that darkness -- he basically suffocated -- and they got him out of the trunk and he will never be the same. It is a tragedy. It's incomprehensible. What kind of person would do this to another human being?" Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said.
If convicted on all charges, Black faces up to 68 years in prison. He had been released from prison just days before the chase and crash.

Underdogz vs Lagered
Match Report - Dogs v Lagged
by Ranjith "ohno its a 4" Fernando (Ciderman)
Mar 30, 2012
Match Scorecard
Dogs started the new season by winning the toss and choosing to bat first in court 1. Last minutes changes included the inclusion of
Hot Under the Collar
in place of captain
Team Maskot
who was out with a groin injury. In the absence of regular opener Maskot, Dogs decided to experiment with
Yogi Bear
which proved successful in an opening partnership of 31 which set a reasonable platform for the rest of the innings. However things didn't pan that way as the next pair,
Grim Reaper
got off to the worst start possible with Reaper deciding to leave the first ball which swung in to see his offstump cartwheel off the ground. 2nd Partnership never got off the ground as they struggled to 8 runs with the loss of 6 wickets as the Dogs went into P3 at 39 for 7 with momentum clearly with Lagged. Lagged continue to ride the wave into the 3rd partnership as the regular pair of
Side Show Bob
tried to resurrect the innings. At the half way mark of the 3rd partnership Dogs were struggling at 43 for 11. Dogs then put their heads down and tried to hit out of the hole they were in with some counter attacking to get back on track with some lusty blows to the back net. Dogs ended P3 on 76 still somewhat short of a 120 par score they were looking for at the start. But going into P4 the pendulum has clearly swung yet again in the Dogs direction as the P4 pair
Uncle Malli
continue to punish the Lagged attack with more lusty blows to the backnet.
Uncle Malli
recorded his maiden century on his way to a 44 off 13 balls with no outs. Dogs final pair managed to score 75 runs; that is what the previous 3 partnerships managed between themselves.
Dogs went into field knowing they were about 30 runs above par but Lagged found themselves reeling thanks to some excellent Doggie attack with the ball and also some slick catching and fielding. Lagged were well out of the game by the end of the 2nd partnership and everything Doggies touched seemed to turn into gold as they continued the good work.
Yogi Bear
started the 2nd partnership with a hatrick of wickets as Dogs tightened their grip on the game. Going into the 4th partnership, Lagged needed an impossible 138 runs to win but they made a decent go at that with a face saving 48 to end the innings on 61. There were some red faces on the Lagged side as they wondered how the Dogs managed to win with such conviction at the end.
Dogs gained the full 8 points from the match as they head the ladder going into week 2 against Spartans.

LONDON (AP) — Oh, the Grand Slam and major victories they could rattle off: The Royal Box had two kings of their sports sitting side by side on Friday watching the men's semifinals — Jack Nicklaus and Rod Laver.
Nicklaus, the winner of a record 18 golf majors, and Laver, who has 11 Grand Slam titles and is the only man to twice win all four majors in the same year, chatted before the match began.
Also in the box were Nicklaus' wife, Barbara, actors Bradley Cooper and Jude Law, Oracle software CEO Larry Ellison, golfer Justin Rose, and 1999 singles champion Lindsay Davenport.
Sitting in Grigor Dimitrov's player box was his girlfriend Maria Sharapova. A loser in the fourth round, Sharapova looked fashionable in a blue top and sunglasses as she watched Dimitrov play Novak Djokovic.

INCOGNITO BECKER: Boris Becker knows his way around Wimbledon and the All England Club. Three singles championships and four runner-up finishes help.
Eschewing the suit and tie that befits a club member, the 46-year-old Becker blended in with the crowd more as he ambled around Centre Court on Friday morning a few hours before the men's semifinals.
In a T-shirt, sleeveless sweater vest, tracksuit pants and running shoes topped off by a baseball cap, he looked any one of the dozens of trainers and coaches around the ground. Which these days, in maintaining his links with the game that gave him and the tennis world so much, is precisely what he is, as the coach of Novak Djokovic.

BERRY BERRY HOPEFUL: Jordanne Whiley of Britain is wearing strawberry dangling earrings that she expects will bring her good fortune in the wheelchair competition at Wimbledon.
The 22-year-old Whiley and partner, Yui Kamiji ofJapan, are the top seeds in the women's doubles.
They won their semifinal 6-0, 6-2 on Friday over Katharina Kruger of Germany and Sharon Walraven of the Netherlands.
Every year my earrings come out for Wimbledon, Whiley said. They're my lucky earrings. They weren't so lucky last year but I'm hoping that they're lucky this year.
This is the second consecutive year she's competing with Kamiji, who is the top-ranked singles wheelchair player in the world.
I love Wimbledon and it's my favorite tournament of the year, said Whiley, who suffers from brittle bone disease.
In the final, they will play either second-seeded Jiske Griffioen and Aniek Van Koot of the Netherlands or Sabine Ellerbrock of Germany and Lucy Shuker of Britain.

What is the Reformed teaching on the salvation of infants or young children who die? I heard John MacArthur's teaching on this recently and he believes that scripture supports the salvation of infants, young children, and even mentally handicapped adults who die prior to coming to saving faith. He referred to the "condition of accountability" (in contrast to the "age of accountability"). He teaches that all who die in this condition are, in fact, God's elect. Do most Reformed theologians agree with this?
I am not sure what "most" Reformed theologians say on this, though I know you can find those who defend the proposition that all those who die in infancy are among the elect.
The Westminster Confession of Faith uses very precise and carefully chosen language on this matter: "Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how he pleaseth: so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word" (10.3).
The Confession entertains the idea that at least some infants who die in infancy and some others "who are incapable of being outwardly called" are among the elect. Note our Lord's words to His disciples in Luke 18:15,16 (the word for babies in v.15 indicates nursing babes, infants): He says that "such as these possess the kingdom of God").
However, the Confession does not say that all such infants, etc., are saved. What it does say is that the Holy Spirit can regenerate such who are elect by means of His sovereign choosing. Surely John the Baptizer presents an instance of infant regeneration (in the womb), Luke 1:39-44.
The problem I would have with John MacArthur's teaching (I will here assume you are accurately conveying his intended meaning, since I have not heard or read from him myself on this subject) is that it seems to rest on the mistaken idea that up to a certain point of development children are not held by God to be accountable for their sin (most say "age of accountability" while MacArthur says "condition of accountability", but it seems to come down to the same basic concept). Now there may be some particular sins for which some young children might not be accountable (if, for example, a wicked father compelled his five-year-old son to steal items from a store), though I am not sure I would defend even that very strenuously.
The Bible teaches that we are all conceived and born in sin and are by nature deserving of God's wrath (Ps. 51:5, 58:3, Eph. 2:1-3, etc.). Infants are not innocent; they simply have not yet the ability to express their sin-nature noticeably. But from the first opportunity they demonstrate a natural bent to rebellion against godly authority and sinful self-centeredness. No parent has to teach or encourage her children to sin, they just do it (like water running downhill); but we have to work diligently to teach them obedience to the Lord.
Romans 5:12-21 teaches not only that Adam's sin-nature has passed to each of us as an inheritance, but that in Adam we are all (all mankind, including infants) under condemnation for his one act of disobedience. By nature all human beings, including infants and mentally incapacitated people, are sinners in Adam and in themselves, and as such we all deserve the wrath and curse of God.
I hope this answer is of help to you. You do not indicate that your asking is motivated by anything more than a desire to know the truth (you don't indicate, for example, that you are struggling over the loss of an infant). If I can be of further help, feel free to come back with more questions or clarifying information.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

13-year-old charged in robbery attempt at gas station
Gentry police responded to an armed robbery Tuesday afternoon at Phillips 66 gas station at the corner of Hwy 59 and Hwy 12 in Gentry.
The store clerk called police after a 13-year-old boy walked into the store wearing a dark hoodie and pants and carrying a .22 caliber revolver which he used to try and rob the store.
Police arrived at the gas station and found the suspect down the street with the stolen items and the unloaded revolver.
During questioning the boy told officers he stole the gun from his parents' bedroom after breaking into their room with an axe.
He was taken to Benton County Juvenile Detention Center and was charged with aggravated robbery and possession of a hand gun.
Police have not released the name of the suspect because of his age.

I haven't tie dyed since I was a kid at camp so when I was given the opportunity to do a fun Tie Dye project with Tulip products I jumped at the chance! How fun! They wanted us to do something creative, using one of their techniques, or to try and come up with our own. Well… I did a "variation" of a known technique and mixed in a little "PB&J style" with it.
The awesome people of I Love to Create sent us a package of goodies which included:
Rainbow Tie Dye kit and Surface Cover by Tulip, and some extra gloves. (on the left)
And my extra goodies for my tutorial are on the right (6" PVC Piping, String, and an Apron)
I first searched their page for some inspiration – and they have a ton of it! I would have never known tie dying has become so creative… I just remember rubber bands and the "spiral" technique of tie dying with lots of hot water. There are SO many other creative designs that take tie dying out of the 70's and into the now.
I knew I wanted to make something practical and that I would be using a lot… and what else do I do besides blog? I'm CONSTANTLY painting signs and doing DIY projects. I've wanted a utility apron forever because I have gone through endless yoga pants and tank tops because I get them covered in paint (apparently I'm a messy painter). So I decided to make a fun tie dyed utility apron that was going to be totally functional – plus cute (adored with my business name & all!).
The technique I chose was the "Shibori Dye Technique" (the technique shown in the video is a "beginner" way, I took it one step further and used the more advanced way of adding string to really make the lines pop with contrast).
Here's my how to:
1. Wrap the apron around the PVC piping, and I tucked the pocket half inside the pipe to prevent it from being dyed. Then tightly wrap the beginning of your string at the very bottom of the piping.
2. Hold a tight grip on the strip and wrap around the piping slowing moving upward about a quarter inch per wrap. It's important to keep the string tight, as you want it to have a tight wrap around the apron.
3. Once I reached above half way up the pipe, I pushed the apron down (being sure not to push it off the pipe) to scrunch it as much as it'll bunch up. Then continue tightly wrapping as you previously did. Continue to tightly wrap, and bunch, wrap and bunch until you've reached the end of your apron. Then I just tightly knotted the string so the apron was tightly held around the pipe.
Then began the fun messy part of dying. After mixing the dye as instructed on the box, I just directly applied it to my apron. I started at one end and worked my way up, and blended it in with my fingers I wanted a two tone look so once I had about a quarter of the top left, I switched the lime color and covered that end. Again. This was messy … thank goodness they give you a surface cover!!
Then I just wrapped it up in the plastic surface cover and let it sit for 7 hours (suggested time 6-8 hours). Once it was done I just cut off all the strings, gave it a quick rinse in the sink and put it through my washer with HOT water as directed.
To add a personal touch I added my company logo PB&Jcreations with a stencil and paint and VOILA! I finally have a fun utility apron that will keep my clothes safe from paint and look good while doing it. Plus, I feel like over time the random splots of paint that I know will end up on it will look really cool with the tie dye effect.
Tulip Tie Dye Kits are available at Walmart, Walmart Canada, Michaels, JoAnn, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, Hancock Fabrics, Meijer. Tie dye kit contents and colors may vary by store.
You can check out their great products and stay up to date with I love to Create on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

MATSUMOTO, Japan - A generation ago, Dr. Akira Sugenoya performed lifesaving cancer surgery on more than 100 children after the 1986 Chornobyl catastrophe. Today, as mayor of a northeastern Japanese city, he's trying to avoid a repeat of his own history.
Beginning in April, parents living in the shadow of the Fukushima nuclear disaster will be able to send their children about 300 kilometres (200 miles) away to his city, Matsumoto, to go to school. The city will pay 1.4 million yen ($140,000) a year for a six-bedroom house and caretakers; parents won't pay tuition but will cover expenses such as utilities and meals.
"If my fears turn out to be unfounded, nothing would be better news," Sugenoya said in a recent interview with The Associated Press at Matsumoto city hall. "But if they become reality, then there is little time before it's too late."
Sugenoya has been critical of the government's response to the three meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which exploded after the March 2011 tsunami and is still releasing radiation into the air and sea. Decommissioning will take decades, and experts disagree over how much the disaster will affect the health of area residents.
The single sickness confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency to have been caused by low-dose radiation from Chornobyl is thyroid cancer, which if properly treated with surgery is rarely fatal. Sugenoya, a thyroid specialist, volunteered to work in Belarus, close to the Ukraine power plant, in 1991 after hearing about thousands of cases of thyroid cancer there.
Five years later, he quit his job in Japan at a prestigious hospital and returned for another five and a half years. He has set up a donation fund for Chornobyl victims and regularly brings doctors from Belarus into Japan for training.
It's unclear how the radiation leaks near Fukushima Dai-ichi compare with those from Chornobyl. Measuring exposure at the individual level involves complex calculations to account for the daily intake of food and water, and can vary greatly.
The Japanese government has detected 44 confirmed and suspected cases of thyroid cancer among 217,000 youngsters, 18 and under, checked in Fukushima prefecture (state). Thyroid cancer among children is generally rare, estimated at only one in a million. The link to radiation is still inconclusive, and extensive testing of Fukushima children could account for the higher numbers.
Children are far more sensitive to radiation-caused diseases than adults because their bodies are developing, but their bodies can bounce back and heal from the damage of radiation. Sugenoya said that in areas of Belarus that are close to Chornobyl, children are periodically sent away from radiated areas.
Matsumoto, in Nagano prefecture, has about 240,000 people, and has room in its schools because of the declining population common in rural areas. Sugenoya's plan, called the Matsumoto Project, will be open to Fukushima students from third grade to junior high school.
Fukushima residents most worried about radiation are already gone. Some 150,000 people have left areas in Fukushima most ravaged by the tsunami, a third of them to other prefectures.
About 200 of them are in Matsumoto, including Hiroshi Ueki, his wife and their children, 6 and 4.
"They ask me, 'Can I now touch the flowers?'" Ueki said of his children. "In Fukushima, they had to wear masks, and they became afraid. They were getting scolded a lot. 'Don't touch any dirt.' 'Don't touch this.' 'Don't touch that.'"
Some who remain areas surrounding the wrecked nuclear plant are torn over whether to stay.
Yuri Hasegawa, a 45-year-old Fukushima mother, is so worried she has bought a Geiger counter and has a stockpile of masks. She cooks with only food that has been tested for radiation.
She has been sending her two children, 9 and 13, to summer and winter camps in the northernmost island of Hokkaido, the southernmost island of Okinawa, and the southwestern city of Hiroshima. She is thinking about taking part in the Matsumoto Project. She said she faces opposition from her husband and other relatives, who scoff at her concerns as extreme.
In her backyard and other areas, "The Geiger counter starts going beep, beep, beep, beep," she said. "The beeps are coming so fast. You know radiation is going through our bodies. It's because it's invisible. If we could see it, we wouldn't be living here."
The Japanese government says it is safe to live in areas that have not been forced to evacuate, but it also has admitted errors in responding to the radiation danger.
Shortly after the tsunami, the government could have doled out potassium iodide pills to block children's thyroids from accumulating radioactive iodine. It had the pills, but failed to deliver them in time to be effective, and it has acknowledged that it was not properly prepared.
The government also has acknowledged that it failed to effectively use data that accurately forecast where radioactive plumes were headed. While a zone around the nuclear plant was cleared, residents beyond the zone who were in the predicted paths of the plumes were not warned.
Sugenoya, a slightly built man with a gentle smile, said his offer is intended to help concerned families play it safe.
"Radiation doesn't hurt. It doesn't even itch," he said. "A terrible thing has happened, but people don't realize it at all."
