McClendon convinced CNG will grow in popularity

Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Despite decreased demand for natural gas in the last year, Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO Aubrey McClendon said Tuesday he remains so convinced of the fuel's future that he's even converted his personal vehicle to run on it.
McClendon joined state and local leaders at the opening of a compressed natural gas filling station in northwest Oklahoma City and said he thinks that as more such stations open, more cities and companies — and eventually more individual vehicle owners — will make the move to CNG-powered vehicles.
McClendon's Chevrolet Tahoe began running on CNG about nine months ago. He said Chesapeake, one of the nation's largest independent natural gas producers, also is converting much of its fleet to use CNG.
"I have successfully made a statement about American independence" from oil, McClendon said. "I think one thing that is not yet appreciated in Washington is there is no other plan out there that will reduce this country's dependence on foreign oil."
Last summer, the natural gas industry was riding high, with prices at more than $13 per 1,000 cubic feet and new reserves coming online. But the sluggish economy has hurt energy demand, leading to a glut of natural gas reserves in the U.S. In trading Tuesday at the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas was at $2.807 per 1,000 cubic feet.
McClendon already had predicted the industry will have storage and pipeline issues during the coming months, which he said will force producers to curtail their efforts. That situation should "work itself out" over time, he said.
A long-term issue for the industry is increasing the market for its product. McClendon and others in the industry long have pushed natural gas both as an alternative for coal to fuel power plants and as a vehicle fuel.
The industry has worked to persuade cities, states and companies to buy or convert existing vehicles — especially of the heavy transport variety — to use CNG, a proposal highlighted by energy magnate T. Boone Pickens last year in his "Pickens Plan."
Pickens has set a goal of converting 350,000 of the nation's large cargo trucks from diesel to natural gas within the next five years. The reason for that focus, McClendon said, is because the larger vehicles use more gasoline.
"We think it makes sense to go where the market is. We have to convert fewer vehicles," he said.
McClendon noted that Honda's Civic GX is the only CNG mass-market vehicle now available for purchase in the U.S., although Ford and General Motors manufacture CNG vehicles for the foreign market. He acknowledged that part of the reason is a lack of CNG infrastructure for fueling those vehicles.
"We're working on both things at the same time," he said. "… When people find out that they can buy an American product that is cleaner and costs less than half the price of gasoline, they're going to go, 'Why haven't I been able to do this?'"
Earlier this year, Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry signed a bill authored by state House Speaker Chris Benge to establish incentives to increase the number of CNG vehicles and public access to filling stations. The one that opened Tuesday will be run by OnCue Express, an Oklahoma fuel service retailer.
Benge, R-Tulsa, said Oklahoma could serve as an example to federal legislators as they debate the role of natural gas in the nation's energy future.
"I think there is a lot of momentum building for the use of natural gas for transportation," Benge said. "I think it's just a matter of time before you start to see more people focused on this as a key component of gaining energy independence, gaining energy security."

Gov. Murkowski mulls judicial appointments
ANCHORAGE - The Alaska Judicial Council has sent Gov. Frank Murkowski five nominees from which to choose his first two judicial appointments.
The council has nominated Brian Clark, Catherine Easter, Paul Olson, Jack W. Smith and Jennifer Wells as the most qualified applicants for two vacancies on the Anchorage District Court bench. The seats became available when judges Peter Ashman and Natalie Finn retired.
All five nominees work for the state. Clark is with the Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals. Easter is an assistant public defender. Olson is a hearing examiner with the State Regulatory Commission. Smith is a Palmer prosecutor. Wells is a master for the court system in Anchorage.
State district courts handle misdemeanors and small debt and damages cases. The governor has 45 days to make the appointments.
Barton tapped to be acting transportation commissioner
JUNEAU - Retired state transportation commissioner Mike Barton of Juneau was picked Wednesday to temporarily head up the state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.
Barton, 63, retired after serving as commissioner for several months under former Gov. Walter J. Hickel in 1994. Barton also headed up the transition team overseeing the department for Gov. Frank Murkowski.
Barton replaces interim commissioner Mike Downing, who was named last week to oversee the department until a permanent replacement is selected. A spokesman for the governor's office said Downing would return to his previous transportation duties and that the move was a matter of convenience.
Barton will assume the commissioner's duties today, the governor's office said. Barton is married to Sharon Barton, who is serving as interim commissioner for the state Department of Administration.
Defendants ask to withdraw plea in murder-for-hire case
ANCHORAGE - Two Anchorage defendants accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill a federal judge and prosecutor have asked a U.S. district judge to withdraw their guilty pleas.
Arnold W. Flowers and Sompong Khamsomphou were indicted in February on charges that they plotted hits on four people connected to an impending bank fraud case against them.
As part of an agreement with the government, they pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to kill a witness, conspiracy to kill an officer or employee of the United States, and conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
But their new lawyers say their first attorneys gave them bad advice, according to arguments filed in U.S. District Court.
According to the indictment, Khamsomphou, a bank teller, and her boyfriend, Flowers, had been charged by a federal grand jury earlier in February with bank fraud. Soon after they were indicted, prosecutors say, Flowers and Khamsomphou agreed to pay $5,000 cash to an undercover federal agent to kill U.S. District Judge Russel Holland, assistant U.S. attorney Crandon Randell, witness Lisa Chanthaseng and her boyfriend.
They were indicted on the murder for hire plot shortly after.
Searchers recover bodies in Arkansas crash
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The bodies of three people, including an Alaskan, were recovered Wednesday, two days after their twin-engine plane crashed in rugged terrain in western Arkansas.
Employees of Anchorage-based Hageland Aviation Services said the company's president Ron Tweto, 40, was among those who died.
Also killed in the crash were pilot John "Jack" McFarlane, 64, of Wichita, and James "Jim" Hennings, 42, of San Antonio, according to Raytheon Corp., which owned the plane.
The three were taking a pre-purchase flight on the Beechcraft 1900-C, according to Hageland's director of operations.

When a crisis hits, we tend to think big. But what if helping was as simple as finding relief inside a green box?
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides temporary shelter and life saving supplies to displaced families. These families could be displaced due to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict. Shelterbox provides assistance in the form of a green box which contains, among other things: a disaster relief tent, water purification, warm blankets and groundsheets, a cook stove and supplies, a tool set, and even a children's play pack. Boxes are modified according to the need in the area.
Founded in 2000, Shelterbox has responded to just under 200 natural or man-made disasters in 75 countries, supplying aid to more than 600,000 people, and delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people made homeless worldwide.
Recently, Shelterbox has responded to the crisis in Syria, assisting displaced families in Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Lebanon, and within Syria itself. Shelterbox sent relief to Japan and Guatemala following those earthquakes this year. Closer to home, Shelterbox was on the ground in Haiti as well as New York and New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy.
How can you help? You can sponsor a whole ShelterBox for $1,000 - other donation amounts are also gratefully accepted. From the web site: "Donations for boxes are used to fund the purchase of box items, assembly, warehousing and subsequent delivery to disaster survivors. Those costs include transportation, handling, insurance, standard administrative cost, and ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) transportation to ensure boxes are delivered to the world's most vulnerable people. A tax-deductible receipt and box number, trackable to its final destination, will be provided to donors contributing toward ShelterBoxes."
You can make a cash donation online in any amount to the organization (note that Shelterbox is a four star charity according to Charity Navigator). If you'd prefer to mail a check, you can do that, too.
Shelterbox also has a gift shop - you can support the shop by making a purchase or buy a symbolic gift (a cash donation).
A search at irs.gov (which I highly recommend any time you are considering making a donation to a charity) reveals that Shelterbox is on the IRS list of charitable organizations. To find out more about the work of the organization, check out their website, follow them on twitter or like them on Facebook.
As we go along this month, I encourage you to check out the charities that made our list this year:
Remember that these are just suggestions and, in most cases, I can't personally vouch for the good work that these folks do. So be generous. But be smart.

[[folder: Segment 5 ]]
* Mike copes with the loss of Nuveena with Crow, Servo, cookie dough and letters. He reads a letter from a girl who watches the show all the time, a guy who wants the show attached to his arm, and another girl who wants Crow to have an Austrian accent and Servo's head to have gumballs.

-->'''Crow:''' Well, sometimes a sun hat is just a sun hat.
* IncrediblyLamePun: "Hey, give Heinrich the Heimlich!"
* JustAMachine: Nuveena's opinion of the 'bots.
* MoodWhiplash: Very briefly and played for laughs, when Nuveena is using the Bots as kitchen appliances; Servo is crying and struggling, and then when Nuveena opens his head and takes out a small cake his tone suddenly becomes one of cheerful interest: "Hey, I didn't know I could do that!" The very next second he's back to crying and begging for it to stop.
* NamedLikeMyName
-->"It's called Me-ite!"
-->"I saw that one first -- I name it Bob's Rock!"
* NoodleImplements: After delivering a beating to Frank during Mike's invention exchange, Dr. Forrester asks him to wrap some oranges in a towel.

-->"Go on, touch it! I dare you!" ''[Astronaut sticks his hands in and screams in pain]'' "Well, fools rush in, Herb..."
* SpaceIsSlowMotion: "Walk slow and stupid, we're on the Moon!"
* TheRoast: Parodied in the beginning of the episode when TV's Frank attempts to hold a roast for Dr. Forrester, only to devolve into giving actual insults instead of comedy. Clay doesn't take it well.
-->'''Forrester:''' [[TranquilFury Thank you, TV's Frank.]] Y'know, there's - after a [[SarcasmMode beautiful tribute]] like that, there's only one thing I can say, and that's- ''[Punches Frank in the gut]'' And, in conclusion- ''[Punches him again]'' I knew I should have hired Red Buttons.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Some of the riffs surrounding Heinrich.
* VampireVords: When the Russian starts speaking.

Gibberish is defined by Merriam-Webster as "foolish, confused, or meaningless words," and the example sentences that are given suggest that gibberish is produced by people who are overexcited or unconscious. But it turns out that computers can also write gibberish, if they are programmed to do so, as we all found out when it was announced that publishers Springer and IEEE were withdrawing 120 papers they had published because they were found to be such computer-generated gibberish.
The story broke in February in an article in Nature, which explained that the articles had apparently been "written" by software called SCIgen, "which randomly combines strings of words to produce fake computer-science papers." A French researcher named Cyril Labbé subsequently wrote a program designed to detect SCIgen-produced papers and ran it against some databases of scientific publications. He found a significant number of these phony articles in two commercial databases. Apparently all of the papers were in conference proceedings that were identified by the publishers as peer-reviewed. At least one scholar listed as an author on a paper said that his name was used without his knowledge.
The parallels between this situation and the "sting" about peer-review in open access journals that was published by Science last year make it inevitable that the usual suspects would line up to make markedly different assertions about the Labbé study. Those who tend to defend traditional publishers point out that the papers were in conference proceedings and that publishers typically have less control over those types of publications than they do over journals. Advocates for newer models of publication—and I guess I am one of these "usual suspects"—point out that what is sauce for the open access goose is sauce for the toll-access gander. I hope to make a larger point about both studies before I am through, but let me first offer a series of observations that I hope will help with context for the debate.
First, the two publishers "caught" in this study, Springer and IEEE, both issued statements about the situation. Springer promised better procedures in the future, cited the large volume of papers they handle each year, and hinted that the real problem was the person or persons who submitted the papers in the first place (they refer to it as "fraud"). Weak as this is, it is better, in my opinion, than IEEE's statement, which struck me, with its assertion that it followed "strict governance procedures," bragging about its "129-year heritage" and claim it was "taking steps," as little more than puffery and denial.
Second, it is worth noting that there is a difference between these SCIgen papers and the pseudo-science article that John Bohanan designed for use in his open-access sting. Bohanan crafted a paper that was superficially plausible but that contained, he said, scientific errors that should have been caught by peer-review. The SCIgen papers, on the other hand, literally do not make sense; the words are connected grammatically but not logically, so that any competent reader should know she is not reading anything with substance. I, for example, would probably read the Bohanan papers without seeing anything wrong, scientifically ignorant as I am; they were intentionally designed to fool people. But I can still tell quite easily that the SCIgen papers are phony; they reveal themselves to any sensible reader. What this suggests is that, whether or not the journals are open or closed access, the SCIgen research exposes an even deeper problem with peer-review. These papers didn't slip past inattentive peer-reviewers; they may have not been reviewed at all, in spite of the publishers' claims.
Third, we should address the fact that the papers were all found in conference proceedings. I have no doubt that publishers have less control over conference proceedings than they do over other content that they publish; they may simply rely on the organizers of the specific conferences to have made quality judgments. But that fact alone does not mitigate the fact that a huge failure has occurred here, and it is a failure that appears systemic. From the perspective of the libraries that purchase these collections, we should remember a couple of things. First, these items were marked as peer-reviewed, which means that a common marker that we use to teach students about scholarly sources as well as to evaluate faculty is unreliable. Second, the reason there are so many conference proceedings included in these databases is because publishers use the ever-growing number of papers they publish to market their products and justify their price increases. There is a financial and marketing incentive to include more and more stuff, and strict oversight of peer-review in that circumstance is economically counter-productive.
Here is where I think these two studies that document the failures of peer-review come together. Both show us that the economic forces behind publishing, both traditional and author-fee Gold OA, are at odds with peer-review. Or, more accurately, that there is no hard line, either based on business model or publisher reputation between journals that practice good peer-review and those where bad peer-review exists. No journal and no publisher can assure us that it always presents exclusively well-reviewed material. The rule here for libraries is caveat emptor—let the buyer beware—and for the academy as a whole, the lesson is that we need to stop putting too much weight or reliance on the assertion that a particular journal is peer-reviewed.
This is why I have called these studies the tip of an iceberg. They have shown us, in my opinion, that peer-review has a systemic problem. When a journal calls itself peer-reviewed or a database marks some sources as "scholarly," we actually know nothing about what that means for individual articles. And we should remember that the salesperson who tells us how many peer-reviewed articles are in his database and then justifies the price increase by the growing number of articles is contradicting himself, since the increasing number of papers, as even Springer seems to admit, cuts against quality peer-review. I have no doubt that we have seen just a small part of systemic and growing failure of peer-review, at least as a label and as a marketing tool.
In spite of all this, however, peer-review is a vital part of the scholarly communications system, as our faculty authors tell us over and over. What we need to do is not give up on peer-review, but to recognize what it is good for and take steps to improve it where it is weak.
As far as the value of peer-review is concerned, it is virtually entirely located at the point where reviews are communicated to authors and assist in the improvement of each individual scholarly article or book. What peer-review is good for is helping authors see places for improvement or for further research. The reason we need peer-review, in short, is to promote dialogue amongst scholars and make research better. But that value varies from article to article; it depends on the work of each specific reviewer and is captured, in its entirety, in the response of each author.
The flip side of this statement about the value of peer-review is that it does not have much value once we move beyond the work of the individual authors. Both of these recent exposés show us why assertions about peer-review should not be trusted as markers for the quality of journal titles; at that point, such assertions are little more than marketing rhetoric.
Finally, the way to improve peer-review is to make it more transparent. If readers of scholarly articles can see the interactions between reviewers and authors, more of the value of that exchange will be passed on. In a presentation earlier this month at the SPARC Open Access meeting, neuroscience researcher Erin McKiernan talked about how the journal PeerJ provides a higher value peer-review, in her opinion, because it is done in the open; the whole history of comment and response is available for readers to see. Beyond the rather silly debates between partisans of different "stings," this is the real advantage of open-access. It can move us beyond the mysterious "black box" that peer-review becomes at the level of journal titles and show us how it has actually made research better, one article at a time.

I'm back again. This time, we shall venture into Russia. Fun, yes? No? Maybe so? If you can't tell, I'm bored. But, this should be pretty fun, seeing as he's the only other boy. I don't really have many chapter notes, aside from that. So, I might actually write the chapter now. Read On!
Jasha woke up to a snowy sky. It was an early storm and would likely melt away by tomorrow morning. He quickly got dressed- warm clothing- and trudged down the stairs.
"Good morning, Jasha," his little sister, Sofia, greeted him. He smiled at her.
"Good morning." His mother was cooking, her dark hair so like his own was tied back. Sofia stared at him, grey eyes like his- like their father's- piercing as always. "What, Sofia?" She shook her head.
"Nothing," she said. He shook his head at her.
"Dimka!" his mother called back. Jasha narrowed his eyes.
"He's not there," he said coldly. His father had been killed in some sort of accident while serving in the military four years ago. His mother still called him to breakfast every morning.
"I'm sorry Jasha. You know how I forget."
"Yes, I know." Jasha controlled his tongue, trying not to make his mother feel guilty. He didn't want that for her. Sofia quickly and simply diffused the situation.
"Jasha, walk me to school." Jasha nodded and helped her to put her coat on and then put on her backpack. They walked out the door into the lightly falling snow. He talked to her while they walked. She was the only thing that kept him sane sometimes. It was so hard dealing with the loss of his father, and his mother was no help. He frowned at himself. She was better than she used to be.
"Jasha, you shouldn't frown so much." He shrugged and chuckled. Sofia was seven, barely old enough to remember their father. They arrived at the school then and he kissed her head.
"Have fun, Sofia. I'll see you when you get home. Mother is picking you up today." She nodded and hugged him.
"Bye, Jasha. I love you." He kissed her on top of her head once more.
"I love you, too," he said and she walked away down the hallway, blonde hair swaying in its ponytail. He turned and walked away, memories of his father walking him to school tormenting him. He had been just fourteen, when he needed a father the most. He remembered with startling clarity the military captain coming to tell them the news, apologizing for their loss. He remembered his mother crying and Sofia asking for her daddy. He shook his head, clearing it of memories. It was four years ago. It was time for things to go back to normal.
Jasha sat down on the sidewalk. He closed his eyes and let himself simply stop thinking. That is, until his head burst into exploding pain. He gasped and rubbed his temples as hard as he could. The pain was so intense he saw stars. His eyes welled up with tears. Where did this headache come from? he wondered. He blacked out, no longer able to stay conscious with the pain.
When Jasha opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground, two strange people above him. He groaned.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"We have no idea," the short, dark haired girl replied, sighing.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Tyler Torres, from New York City," the taller- though shorter than him- boy with the brown hair said.
"I'm Valentina Espinoza. I live in Lima, Peru. Who are you?" Jasha stood up, not liking having to look up at them.
"I'm Jasha Vazov. I'm from St. Petersburg, Russia."
"We all know where St. Petersburg is," the boy, Tyler, said. Jasha glared at him, dislike already settling in the pit of his stomach.
"Unless I'm mistaken," Jasha said slowly, "is there not a city with the same name in your country?" Tyler shrugged and Jasha sneered. Valentina shot them both a look.
"No cryptic comments today?" Tyler called loudly. Jasha wondered absently who he was talking to.
"If you insist," a voice called from the shadows.
"Who's that?" Jasha whispered to Valentina.
"We don't know that either," she whispered back. The voice laughed.
"You will in due time," it replied to Valentina. Tyler seemed to be biting back a sarcastic remark.
"There you go with that again…" Valentina mumbled. The voice roared with laughter.
"Oh, Valentina, my sweet girl. It's only the honest answer." Jasha looked at Tyler.
"I take it this happens often?" he asked.
"Only everyday since I've been here." Tyler paused. "And I was the first." Tyler looked back to Valentina. Jasha looked around. There was two sleeping bags unrolled, one pink and one green. Next to them was a black one with clothes his size. There were two more continuing the circle, a purple one and teal one. Two more. Two more days.
"Jasha?" the voice called. "Jasha?" Jasha looked up. "How's the sister?" Jasha made a growling sound, feral. The voice laughed at him. Jasha looked down where a woven yellow and light blue bracelet rested. Sofia had made it for him, a matching one on her own wrist. He toyed with it. It took him a moment to realize the voice had disappeared. Valentina sat next to Jasha.
"I have a little sister too," she said. "Twins, actually. And a younger brother." Jasha nodded. "We'll get home for them Jasha." Then she did the last thing he expected. She hugged him. He stiffened. Tyler shot him an undecipherable look. Jasha looked at Valentina.
"I hope so."
He looked down at a pool of water. He tapped it, muttering words under his breath. In the water appeared a girl, walking around a house, getting water, talking on the phone. He smiled and ran a hand through his own curls- the color of molten gold. He tapped the water and spoke words again.
Another girl appeared. She was significantly smaller, with a gentler personality. Watching her, secretly watching the other three in the maze, he laughed. He could see it already. He could see where lines would be drawn, where they would be crossed. He could see where connections would be formed, where they would be severed.
"This Game will be fun," he said, running his tongue over his teeth as he smiled, chuckling.
Well, I won't say much. I don't want to ruin the cliff hanger. I just wanted to say that the ***3*** at the end indicates a change of POVs. The number in the middle will change because it signifies the number of contestants currently in the game. So if I were to update tomorrow and change POVs, the number would be four. This is the only time in the game the number will rise. I'll probably update soon though. I'm so done with these intro chapters! They bore me. I want the Game to begin! Regardless, chapter three is over. Over and out, StevieBumpkin2011, signing off!

OncoPanel™ 3D – determine activity of compounds on tumor spheroids
OncoPanel™ 3D is a drug profiling platform comprised of ~100 cancer cell line models grown as three-dimensional (3D) tumor spheroids that phenocopy key attributes of human tumors. Drug testing is initiated only after spheroid formation has been confirmed through hypoxia-positive spheroid calling using high-content imaging. This platform provides a means to compare the tumor penetrating properties of a collection of drugs by comparing activity in 2D versus 3D cell culture.
Advantages of OncoPanel™ 3D:
Figure 1. Comparing drug response between 2D vs. 3D culture
Top) Representative bright field and LOX-1, hypoxia-sensitive dye, fluorescent images of WiDr and NCI-H460 cells demonstrating that the majority of cells exist in spheroids. Bottom) Dose response curves for four inhibitors with distinct mechanisms of action generated after 7 days of treatment either in 2D or 3D cell culture. Note, the difference between these two culture conditions is more pronounced, in general, for NCI-H460 cells than for WiDr cells with some, but not all, inhibitors.

Who's got the best sweet tea' Readers sound off
Orange pekoe. Sugar. Water. Amen.
That sums up Southerners' feelings about iced tea. They are faithful to those three ingredients, dogmatic as to how they should be blended and devoted to restaurants they believe make the best version of this quintessential Dixieland drink.
And those restaurants are many.

I have a 21 months old boy and ever since he was 3 months old he hated to be held. He likes company but no touching. Occasionally he cuddles in the evenings before falling asleep but it has to come from him. If we initiate anything, he pushes us away. Why is he so cold with us?Answer Question

My niece is the same way, I just figured it is her personality. She liked to be held as a baby (she is 3 now) but she was never a cuddlier. I know how you feel though, I am such a cuddler I don't know what I would do if my daughter was not.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals had posted no Indiana opinions at IL deadline.
Indiana Supreme Court
Indiana Dept. of Insurance, Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund v. Robin Everhart, Personal Rep. of the Estate of James K. Everhart, Jr.
Civil. Affirms award of statutory maximum of $1 million in excess damages from the Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund to Robin Everhart. Does not see any grounds on which to reduce the trial court's award of $1 million in excess damages, so deciding whether to extend or halt Cahoon's advance would seem unnecessary at best. The fund was not entitled to a set-off.
Indiana Court of Appeals
Jose Castillo-Aguilar v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Reverses denial of Castillo-Aguilar's motion to suppress his answers on the information sheet he completed at the police station. He was subjected to "interrogation" when he was asked to fill out the information sheet, so he should have been given a Miranda warning.
Apex 1 Processing, Inc. v. Akeala Edwards, on Behalf of Herself and Others Similarly Situated
Civil plenary. Affirms denial of Apex 1's motion to compel arbitration of Edwards' claim. As the designation of the arbitrator was integral to the arbitration provision, the trial court correctly determined that the agreement was impossible to perform and thus void.
K.F. v. State of Indiana
Juvenile. Affirms finding that K.F. committed acts that would be burglary and theft if committed by an adult based on sufficient evidence. Reverses finding that she committed what would be carrying a handgun without a license if committed by an adult because of insufficient evidence. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by admitting into evidence K.F.'s statement made to her mother, but it did err by allowing a police officer to testify as to the mother's hearsay statements. The admission of that testimony was harmless error. Remands for the juvenile court to correct the dispositional order and CCS entry to accurately reflect the true findings entered by the court.
Louis L. Blacknell, Jr. v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Affirms sentence following guilty plea to felony murder.
Opie W. Glass v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Post conviction. Affirms denial of petition for post-conviction relief.
Dustin Tumbleson v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Reverses sentence following guilty plea to Class A misdemeanor battery and remands with instructions.
Term. of the Parent-Child Rel. of R.C. & S.C.; R.C. (Mother) v. The Indiana Dept. of Child Services (NFP)
Juvenile. Affirms termination of parental rights.
Larry Hellyer v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Affirms denial of motion to correct erroneous sentence.
Nicholas A. Meade v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Affirms sentence imposed following determination Meade violated his probation.
Mikeia Lewis v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Affirms conviction of Class A misdemeanor criminal conversion.
Leonard T. Marshall v. State of Indiana (NFP)
Criminal. Affirms convictions of rape, criminal confinement, intimidation, strangulation, residential entry, resisting law enforcement and false informing.
Patricia Mowery and Harold R. Mowery, Jr. v. Arron L. Hofmeister, Individually and as Employee/Agent of Marathon Petroleum Co., LP, and Marathon Petroleum Co., LP (NFP)
Civil tort. Affirms jury verdict in favor of Hofmeister in the Mowerys' action for damages from a collision.
In Re: The Marriage of Cindy B. Neal and George Neal, Jr.; Cindy B. Neal v. George Neal, Jr. (NFP)
Domestic relation. Affirms award of certain personal property to George Neal, the denial of cleanup costs and attorney fees, and the award of certain bank accounts to Cindy Neal.
Indiana Tax Court had posted no opinions at IL deadline.

December Characterized by Some
Damaging Declines in Market.
The month on the mining exchange
closed on an output of 753.07G shares of
stock that brought $104.510 22, the day
upon the sale of 23.1S7 for 5G994.S9, and
with the Investor relying upon the new
year for a condition that shall more
intelligently reflect conditions at the
diggings, and the unprecedented
achievements at the smelters. The
close, however, was a featureless one.
The market generally w'as weak, the
investor indifferent and the shopkeep
ers sullen. Con. Mercur was again
marked down and parted with a few
shares as low as 70 cents, while Grand
Central, discounting the most favorable
reports upon Its ore bodies at Tlntlc,
responded to a bid of S3.60. while Daly,
on a statement that ores from the new
ledge were moving toward the smelter,
found a customer at ?2.60, with that
figure asked at the finish. The best to
be had for Daly-Judge at the close was
while Naildrlver recorded a
transfer at 60 cents, with Daly West re
leaslng'an odd lot at $35.60. Mammoth,
on a report that tho new year will see
its ores again on the market, sold up
to $1.20, after which it softened, while
Eagle & Blue Bell tilled an order at -15
cents. Yankee Con. was quite actively
dealt In around 40 cents, with futures
bringing 41. while Lower Mammoth
came out to a bid of 40. Sacramento
was again on the run and sold in
bunches down to lSVs. while Tetro was
yteady around 31 cents, the day and

in Bradburn. Group.
Having Inaugurated the season's cam
paign of exploratory work on the Marlon
gioup of mines out of Mnrysvale and
adjoining the Log Cabin, Ben D. Luce,
manager of the property, came in from
the south again yesterday morning, and
to his associates In the undertaking
brings assurances of a most favorable
outlook. After careful inquiry into the
geology of the zone, the management
has decided to tap Its ledges by tunnel
and to that end ground is now being
broken. From its outcrop, the main As
sure, said Manager Luce, affords be
tween $3 and ?4 gold per ton?
He reports the main tunnel on the Log
Cabin group now 4S0 feet into the zone,
the last eighty feet having been on the
strike of the ledge, the filling of which
shows an average of $3 56 gold per ton.
In addition to this, tho company is driv
ing two other tunnels and opening up
Its large amount of gold-bearing terri
tory in a manner that must soon dem
onstrate its merits.
The Bradburn group, In the same lo
cality, Is being developed by a Pitts
burg crowd on a most energetic scale.
During the season they have made a
number of disclosures in which the rock
showed values that were quite sensa
tional and the owners arc much en
couraged. At Mafysvale its mining men are rely
ing on a great deal of activity the pres
ent season, and certainly many golden
opportunity have been waiting to re
spond tb endeavors of which capital only

The new $200,000 water service with
which the Newhouse mines and pro
jected concentrator out of Frisco have
been equipped has been practically per
fected, said Manager Bettles, who came
up from camp yesterday morning, and
in two weeks that portion of an under
taking which has done so much to pro
mote the development of the Beaver
county copper belt will have been con
summated. Thejlpe line, which was
put under full pressure on Wednesday,
showed a leak at intervals only, these
to be corked up In a few days, when the
remainder of the back-fllllng will be
stnrted on 16,000 feet of pipe having al
ready been put under cover. Meanwhile
the excavation for the big reservoir has
been completed under the direction of
Mr. Dedeiichs, a building is now being
constructed above it and the cement
work will follow In a few days. Man
ager Bettles did not hesitate to con
gratulate Lloyd W. Mogg, secretary for
the company, by which the pipe was
manufactured, that it has provided the
undertaking with a first-class water
service, and its formal acceptance' ap
pears but a matter of a short time.
Recent Visit by Mr. Bettles Puts
Tonopah Talent to Guossing.
A. G. Bettles, who Ib well known here,
and who, It Is said, represents the New
house syndicate of Salt Lake City, has
purchased a group of claims located in
the Monte Crlsto range, about twenty
five miles northeast from Sodavllle. It
Is said that the purchase has been made
for the American Smelting and Refining
company, says the Tonopah Bonanza.
These claims cover a big deposit of
copper carbonate and oxide oren, to
gether with a large percantage of chal
coyprlte. The gossan Is particularly
rich, while the upper portions of the de
posits yield uniform values of from 30
to 40 per cent copper. Over 540,000 worth
of the crude ore of the above grade has
already been shipped and the property
Is thus already a shipper. It Is under
stood that the price paid for the prop
erty was 5125,000.
The group referred to by the Bonanza
Is the Contact Copper, which was pur
chased some time ago by Mr. Bettles,
who Is the Western manager for Mr.
Newhouse, J. 15. Thompson and other
Salt Lake talent. The output Is being
reduced at the American's furnaces In
this valley, but otherwise It nor Mr,
Newhouse Is Interested.
Settlements for December Exceed the
Two Million Mark.
In the ore and bullion market the set
tlements for December attained a total
of 52,052,100, the aggregate affording tho
best evidence perhaps of the pace with
which the old year passed out and that
with which the new begins its record.
That the pace will be maintained those
conversant with the diggings have no
apprehension whatever, while there are
assurances on every hand to denote an
Increase that shall fulfill every expec
tation. On the ore and bullion market yester
day the settlements amounted to 565,000,
McCornlck & Co. reporting them as
they follow: American bullion, 524,700;
gold bars. 55600; gold, silver, lead and
copper ores, 534,700.
In the metal market sliver advanced
and ruled at 56U cents an ounce, with
lead stationary at $3.50 per hundred
pounds and casting copper at HVfi cents
a pound.

The Sailendra dynasty is said to hark back indirectly to India by being cousins to the Chandella dynasty, which
left numerous monuments in India between the 7th and 8th centuries (most notably, the Khajuraho temples).
Allegedly, a schism in the family occurred between those remaining faithful to Hinduism - the Chandella dynasty,
which stayed in Khajuraho - and the Sailendra branch which, having converted to Buddhism, set off for Indonesia
as early as the 4th century.
The Sailendra dynasty reached its zenith in Indonesia during the 7th, 8th, and 9th centuries. Their king was considered the founder of Borobudur; he bore the name Indra (Hindu god represented on an elephant - god of rain, monsoons, storms and winds). The fact that the founder of this most fabulous Buddhist shrine bore a Hindu name shows the ambiguity of the Sailendra dynasty's position between Buddhism and Hinduism. The shrine was actually signed or co-signed by Indra's son, King Samaragunta (also spelled Samaratunga). The latter turned the com pleted monument over to the Buddhist monks, who enjoyed royal sponsorship. Just as in classical India, in Java the dynasties generally continued Hindu names and beliefs. At the same time, they opened their minds to Buddhist doctrines, effecting a sort of unofficial conversion, which they concretized in the form of a gift of land, money or even pensions to the Buddhist monks who, in return, affected a tolerant and protecting attitude towards the royalty.

"At 17, I'll be honest, it was frightening," says care leaver Daniel Foden. "I'm 20, nearly 21 now, and being on my own [even] now is hard."
Foden is recalling how he felt at the prospect of having to leave his foster placement as his 18th birthday approached. He'd been settled for less than two years when it came to the point of planning for leaving care, but was lucky enough to be given a reprieve – the chance to carry on living with his foster family until the age of 21 as part of the Staying Put pilots that trialed in 11 local authority areas between 2008 and 2011.
The scheme funded children's services in Bristol, Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Dorset, Lincolnshire, the London borough of Merton, North Tyneside, North Yorkshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and York, so they could continue to pay an allowance to foster carers of young people who elected to stay on after 18. Though some foster carers are able to keep a young person on as part of their family without payment, for many, the foster carer's allowance is vital income and doing without it is not an option.
Foden jumped at the chance, and only moved out into independent accommodation two weeks ago, a few months shy of his 21st birthday. "It was a big relief," he says. "A lot of life's lessons were learned in that time, because Eric and Rita taught me a lot. Eric got me to do things that I'd have to do when I was on my own. I had to learn to budget, and do washing and cooking."
When a young person is doing GCSEs, at 16, points out his foster carer Eric Mole, "they're already very aware that in two short years they're going to be making that transition. It's a massive burden – so much so that they [sometimes] decide to run before they reach 18. They need to control what happens and the only way they can do that is to destroy it completely."
Mole says that the ability to offer a young person the chance to stay on is absolutely crucial to maintaining their sense of belonging, and allowing them to build the security on which a healthy future depends.
The Staying Put pilots reported in February of this year; they showed that there were significant benefits to young people who chose to stay on, and – because fewerdid choose that option than had been anticipated – that the scheme would be somewhat cheaper to operate than originally thought.
To the dismay of the Fostering Network and foster carers, however, there have been no moves to roll out the scheme nationally so that more of the 6,000 young people who leave care annually can opt to stay on in a supportive family environment. It has been left to councils to decide what level of provision to fund. This means that it is still only a power the a local authority can choose to exercise, rather than a duty to provide a service that has been proved to be beneficial.
"It's becoming increasingly unacceptable that this very vulnerable group of young people have to leave where they are living [at 18]," says Robert Tapsfield, chief executive of the Fostering Network.
"It needs a radical rethink. It should be automatically possible for young people to remain if that placement meets their needs – and if they want to – up to the age of 21. And we need to be no longer thinking just about 'leaving care', but [more imaginatively] about how the care that young people need can be maintained after they have officially left care."
There's no doubt that a national roll out of the Staying Put principle holds practical difficulties. There is already a severe shortage of foster placements for looked after children who are under 18, points out David Simmonds, chair of the Local Government Association's children and young people board. It would take significant effort and money to find new places to make up for the those taken by someone over 18 choosing to stay on.
Simmonds also observes that while some foster carers welcome young people into what is essentially a family environment, others "run foster care as a business, and foster more children for a shorter period of time – it's a different relationship. The key thing is to make sure that the emotional stability that's needed is what's available, and at present the system doesn't always provide that."
The Department for Education says it accepts the Staying Put findings, and in a recent speech, children's minister Edward Timpson called for more foster placements for 18 to 21-year-olds. But the minister's words cut little ice without the money to back them.
"It's very easy to get people to accept the principle, but in the current climate it is very difficult to get people to accept the implications," says Tapsfield. "[Because] it will cost them something, and the benefit to society will be reaped by the benefits system, the healthcare system, prisons – but children's services don't reap the benefit. For them it's all a cost."
In years gone by, he observes, he "would have expected that the government would have welcomed the proposals, and found a small amount of money to encourage the roll-out of the programme".
This, it seems, isn't what's happening. The DfE states only that it has "issued guidance to local authorities about how they can provide information and guidance to young people and foster carers about extending placements". Guidance, however, is a long way from the hard cash that would help children's services afford to pay for them.
It's a poor sort of calculation, believes Mole, "when you look at the burden on the public purse if they were able to stay on at 18, when they're very very vulnerable, prone to turn to all sorts of things, antisocial at best, criminal at worst ... " The costs of paying a foster carer £250 a week for a few years don't compare, he says, with much the far higher costs of supporting an adult who requires state support for the rest of their life.
Mole has seen the benefits for himself of allowing a young person that bit of breathing space. Since the pilot started in 2009, Daniel Foden is one of four young people he has nurtured past the point of their 18th birthday and offered the security of a caring home as they took their first steps towards independent adulthood.
Currently fostering a 15-year-old boy, he says he's unsure what the future now holds. Offering to finance a young person out of his own pocket would be "quite a burden".
"Foster carers are a passionate lot and want the best for the young people they look after," he points out. Since the pilot finished, he has been placed in the uncomfortable and somewhat compromised position of being a carer who is no longer able to offer a young people who's turned 18 the support he knows they need.

Mestre Vitalino e artistas pernambucanos. Guacira Waldeck, ed. Rio de Janeiro: Centro Nacional de Folclore e Cultura Popular, 2009. 48 pp.*
The theme of this brief exhibition catalogue might be framed as Brazilian "backwoods" art goes to town. From December 18, 2009 to March 28, 2010 the Centro Nacional de Folclore e Cultura Popular [National Center of Folklore and Popular Culture] in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil held an exhibition paying homage to Vitalino Pereira dos Santos (1909-1963), considered one of Brazil's most important visual artists. "Mestre Vitalino e artistas pernambucanos" included woodcuts, wooden carvings, and ceramics made by "Master Vitalino" and other artists from the Northeastern Pernambuco state.
Anthropologist Guacira Waldeck was the chief writer and editor of the exhibit's accompanying catalogue, Mestre Vitalino e artistas pernambucano. The catalogue's many illustrations are mostly in color yet are small and include little contextualizing information. For the Portuguese reader the slim catalogue's strength is Waldeck's consideration of Master Vitalino's historical impact on Brazilian visual art.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Brazil saw an increased interest in folklore and folk art among its artists and intellectuals. A founding member of the Modernist art movement, Mario de Andrade was instrumental in generating interest in Northeastern artists in his pursuit of a distinctly Brazilian "authentic" aesthetic. For the Modernists, the country's "backwoods" region was a font of authentic tradition. U.S. trained anthropologists Gilberto Freyre (who studied at Columbia University under Franz Boas) and René Ribeiro (who worked at Northwestern University with Melville Herskovits) also cultivated interest in the region with their studies of Northeastern Brazilians. In the 1960s Ribeiro published a catalogue documenting Vitalino's work elevating the Pernambucan from anonymous craftsman to influential figurative artist.
As Waldeck's newer catalogue makes clear, Master Vitalino's influence on Brazilian art cannot be overstated. Elements of Vitalino's spare style and figurative depictions of quotidian Northeastern life are evident today in ceramics found in tourist shops, street markets, galleries, museums, and Brazilian homes.

Reading a Tendentious Bible
Full Product Description
Robert B. Coote is internationally renowned for work on the Bible and the ancient Near East that crosses the usual disciplinary boundaries. Whether re-examining arcane inscriptions, conventional views of the Pentateuch, Israel's early history, the composition of a particular book of the Bible, or the making of the Bible in the broader sense, his question has been not whether some texts are tendentious and others not, but rather how each biblical composition or re-composition takes on the flavour of its contexts. Coote's skill in explicating the subtle interplay between contextual foil and literary structure and content has been a major characteristic of his work. Nineteen colleagues, friends, and former students have joined to honour Bob Coote with this Festschrift. Their wide-ranging contributions cover many, but not all of the interests of his prodigious career-textual criticism (Emanuel Tov), literary studies in several guises (Barbara Green, Uriah Y. Kim, Annette Schellenberg, Chris Seeman), historiography (Norman K. Gottwald, Ernst Axel Knauf, Keith W. Whitelam), social institutions (John H. Elliott, Sarah Shectman), text and social context (Marvin L. Chaney, Eugene Eung-Chun Park, Herman C. Waetjen), cultural memory (Ronald Hendel), ethnic identity (Aaron J. Brody), relationship of oral and written 'texts' (Antoinette Clark Wire), iconography and text (Annette Weissenrieder), cuneiform and gender studies (Mary Frances Wogec), and hermeneutics (Chandler Stokes).

Winter weather will not affect this week's Blue Cross Blue Shield high school football championship games in Cookeville.
TSSAA assistant director Matthew Gillespie told News 2 that the games, beginning Thursday, will go on despite a forecasted wintry mix.
"The games will go on as scheduled," Gillespie said. "The only time that we would have to move games is when you get into playing games and you get into something like lightning, or if severe weather, if a tornado came through. We would deal with that at the time."
Gillespie said if it snowed it would not be the first time teams have played in the winter weather. In 2000 Riverdale High played Red Bank in a title game in Murfreesboro where blowing snow covered the field.
He compared TSSAA weather policy to policy's on collegiate and NFL levels.
"We approach it like college and pro do, you usually don't see them moving events unless it's something major like a hurricane come through," he said, adding, "Football can be played in snow; it can be played in rain. We might see one or the other or both,"
The only time the TSSAA steps in to delay games is in the event of severe weather such as tornados and lightning.
Games are scheduled for Thursday through Saturday night.
Four teams are among the 16 that have made it to the title game.
• Ensworth vs. Memphis University School
• Christ Presbyterian Academy vs. Alcoa
• Henry County vs. Knoxville West
• Trousdale County vs. Adamsville
• Hendersonville vs. Maryville
See the complete schedule, plus travel information at TSSAA.org.
Winter-like weather including sleet and rain is in the forecast beginning Thursday and continuing through the weekend.

Eva Forrester '14 didn't know how she was
teamwork: Everyone pitches in to do chores and help out.
Forrester, a 37-year-old student who transferred from Portland Community College, received an academic scholarship to study mathematics and finance at Pacific.
Still, Forrester has been on the brink of dropping out more than once.
going to pay for her final year at Pacific University.
"It's been a 100 percent uphill battle. … the Eva Krebs Scholarship came right on time." — Eva Forrester '14
That went a long way — in fact, it's what brought her to Pacific. But it hasn't solved her longterm challenge: affording housing, food, clothes and the like for herself and two young sons while attending school full time.
The family lives on the cheap. They stay in the Boxer Apartments, just Eva C. Krebs blocks from the 1952–2012 Forest Grove Campus. The boys, 8 and 5, go to school nearby and come to Pacific to hang out after class while their mom studies. Forrester is up front with them about the reality of finances, and the family motto is all about
"It's a 100 percent uphill battle," she said. Recently, though, she got a piece of good news. She has been awarded the Eva C. Krebs "Make A Difference" Boxer Spirit Award, in honor of the late Pacific University vice president who was so committed to helping students through those rough patches that get in the way of education. "I was really super shocked to find out I won the award," Forrester said. "It gave me the boost I needed. It came right on time." Scholarships are an increasingly important part of the financial aid package, especially as school loans become a greater burden for students and recent graduates. At Pacific University, donors make education possible for the most in-need students by endowing scholarships, like Krebs' Boxer Spirit Award. Corporations and foundations also support students with scholarship funds. Alyssa Tuttle PharmD '15 received scholarships funded by Albertsons and by Walgreens to help her attend Pacific University. Tuttle grew up knowing a little something about hard work. Her mother was one of nine children in a family of immigrant farmworkers. She managed to go on to Dartmouth Medical School and become a pediatrician. "She was the one who taught me to work hard," Tuttle said.
