Golf pro Erica Blasberg took her own life in May, and cops are on the hunt for a doctor who allegedly removed a note and other items from the scene, a Nevada coroner has said.
The Clark County coroner's office told The Associated Press Tuesday that the 25-year-old U.S. LPGA golfer died of suicide due to asphyxia, coupled with the presence of toxic levels of prescription medication in her system, including prescription headache, cough, pain and anti-anxiety medications.
Blasberg was found with a plastic bag over her head May 9 in her home about 15 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Henderson Police Department said it concluded an extensive investigation on Tuesday and determined there was no foul play.
But cops did issue an arrest warrant for the doctor who called 911 after finding Blasberg at home. Thomas Hess will be charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly removing pills and a note from the scene, according to People mag.
"Hess admitted to removing a note indicating Ms. Blasberg had taken her own life," the Coroner's office told People in a statement on Tuesday. "He hid it in his vehicle along with prescription medications taken from her house."
In his 911 call, Hess told an emergency responder that he knew Blasberg from "the golf club," and had arrived at her house after noticing "she sounded intoxicated" when he called about a tournament, according to People.
A police spokeswoman did not comment to the magazine on the pair's relationship.

Last August, Gordon "Big Daddy" Biffle arrived in Las Vegas with no expectations, a man who a year prior was working in East Chicago carrying 50-pound pieces of sheetrock in steel-toed boots. Now, actor Michael Clarke Duncan and reality TV personality Omarosa were onstage at the Mandalay Bay Theatre, name-checking his business. This was the Hoodie Awards, Steve Harvey's annual ceremony recognizing black-owned businesses and organizations. The production-value-relative-to-awards ratio is impressively high, the glitziest presentation of best church choir or best fried chicken you've ever seen.
Barbecue is Biffle's trade, and the competition was formidable — Kansas City's legendary Gates Bar-B-Q had the prestige, Chicago's Robinson's No. 1 had Mike Royko's blessing. Big Daddy didn't even have a restaurant. He was cooking out of steel drums in a strip mall parking lot in Gary, between a church and a Family Dollar store.
Then, improbably, they announced the winner: "Big Daddy's BBQ!" Biffle threw two hands to the sky and took to the stage. In front of a TV audience of millions, he stood as owner of what had been voted the best barbecue restaurant in the country. (Granted, this was less critical adjudication than ballot-stuffing popularity contest. Still.)
Biffle proclaimed: "I'd like to thank Gary, Ind., and the Chicagoland!"
The award, the pageantry of it all, his late mother on his mind — Biffle strode off stage and broke down in tears. He fell into the first arms available to embrace.
"I looked up, and I was like, 'What?!' It was Judge Mathis."
What do you glean driving through a city of shuttered businesses, a place where fried shrimp houses and fast-food chains define its food scene? My lasting memory of Gary happened several years ago, when a Bennigan's opened at the U.S. Steel Yard baseball stadium, and city officials were ecstatic a national restaurant was entering their market. It has since closed.
Barbecue might not be a healthier option than a cheeseburger, but just finding a restaurant in Gary that prepares food from scratch is reason for praise.
Biffle is a son of Gary, 40 years old, with a likeness to actor Anthony Anderson and a frame that says: I know my food. In high school, he was a prep cook at a Chinese restaurant, peeling shrimp and assembling egg rolls. Out of curiosity one day, he combined barbecue sauce with neon sweet-and-sour sauce, then tasted his concoction. Smoky, sweet, a pineappley tang and vaguely exotic — he'd stumbled onto something good, and bigger still, sparked a culinary ambition that encouraged constant experimentation.
How Big Daddy's BBQ came to be is a familiar tale: An eager amateur cook makes food for friends and family, hears enough praise to stoke the entrepreneurial fires, says no thanks to his thankless job and opens a restaurant to fulfill a dream.
And so a week after returning from Las Vegas, Biffle moved the operation from the parking lot — where it was a flea market on weekends — to a sit-down restaurant. The bulletproof counter is a reminder of its location.
"People think everything that comes out of Gary is bad, but they don't hear the good things," Biffle said. "Like the 4,000-member church next door. We've got a lot of good people there. We've got a beautiful beach. We just need people to put some money into this city."
I applaud Biffle's ambition. Constant experimenting means specials pop up on the menu: barbecue lamb, gumbo, beef short ribs. He could have served instant-mix mashed potatoes, but he opted for collard greens, a rudimentary recipe but one that requires a pot and manual stirring (smoked turkey tails in the greens leave a rich coat on the palate). I still think Uncle John BBQ or Barbara Ann's are better bets, but Biffle is presenting food with an ingredient lacking from many surrounding restaurants: the passage of time. Patience isn't merely a virtue for pitmasters; it's a prerequisite.
An aquarium-style smoker, favored by finer South Side Chicago barbecue institutions, sits in the kitchen but serves mostly as a warming tank. The real action takes place behind the restaurant, where steel drums billow steady smoke and ribs are cooked two hours at a time.
Purists may take issue with the restaurant's usage of the term "barbecue" if defined by wood smoke infusing meat. Turkey legs, pork butt and brisket get a hickory and oak finish, but for pork ribs (the bulk of the business), only lump charcoal is used.
"They want that flavor as if they cooked it in the backyard themselves," Biffle said.
Unlike wood, charcoal offers less influence on its thick spare ribs, just a trace of the carbonized, DIY-grilled taste. Its exterior has a saliva-robbing amount of MSG, but with a masculine pork taste on first bite, slightly fatty, tender-with-a-tug and delicious. With rib tips, diners' experiences will vary depending on time of day. At its best, minutes off the grill, the tips bear two textures: the crusty bark where heat met meat and a moist, succulent pork interior. Big Daddy's house sauce — Biffle's East-meets-West sweet-and-sour barbecue sauce with chunks of pineapple — is ladled generously on top, a mild distraction for people like me who prefer sauce on the side.
This isn't groundbreaking cooking. But it's honest food, reflecting the taste of a community, from a man who refers to himself in the third person but is selfless enough to try, fail and try again. Chicago has far better barbecue within the city limits. But Gary can always use positive news, and Big Daddy's BBQ is worthy of a shoutout. There's an award displayed at the counter as validation.
Big Daddy's BBQ

Maseeh College seniors from three departments presented their Capstone projects during the last week of spring quarter. On June 6, Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) seniors gave project presentations then displayed their prototypes in the Engineering Building Atrium along with MME freshmen projects. On June 8, Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) seniors gave Capstone project presentations in the morning while Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students exhibited their devices at a public poster session in the afternoon.
The PSU Senior Capstone, a University Studies requirement for all PSU undergraduates, is meant to be a culminating experience for students. Capstones take students out of the classroom and into the field to apply what they have learned over the course of their undergraduate studies to a community project. For engineering students, this means solving a real-world problem by often (but not always) producing something tangible and hands-on, such as an actual prototype or device. Depending on the department, the project ideas are either proposed by local industry sponsors or chosen by the students themselves.
About more than producing a device or prototype, however, senior Capstone projects also foster the development of critical skills necessary for future success as a professional engineer, skills such as teamwork, project design and management, and verbal and written communication.
Common to all engineering Capstones is the sheer problem-solving ingenuity of Maseeh College students on display. Some examples of Capstone projects from each of the three departments that held events last week:
Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Cross Country Sit Ski: Sponsored by the PSU Inclusive Rec Center, six students designed a single adjustable sit ski (a device that allows people with limited mobility to ski from a seated position) that can accommodate a wide range of users and user injuries. As is often the case, settling on a final design required students to compromise on conflicting design requirements; for example, a narrower sit ski would make it easier for users to propel themselves with ski poles, but a wider design would improve stability. The students field tested their sit ski under real conditions on Mt. Hood.
Volcanic Lake Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Water and Sediment Probe: A team of six students designed and built a water sampler for use by a PSU biology professor to collect samples at Boiling Springs Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. They were asked to design a water sampler that could be deployed using a remotely operated vehicle (in this case, a small, metal boat), collect samples of at least 0.5 liters, withstand the harsh conditions of the volcanic lake (120 Celsius temperatures and high levels of sulfur and sulfuric acid), as well as transmit real-time data a distance of at least 500 meters.
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Pavement Condition Evaluation and Design: Five students conducted an independent evaluation of StreetSaver©, an online pavement management system used by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) in the management of its nearly 4900 lane miles of roads. The students conducted an independent rating and comparison to assist PBOT in answering reliability questions regarding the Streetsaver© program, which is used to make decisions about road rehabilitation. The project entailed selecting a sample of streets to examine, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) training to be able to manually calculate PCI, hand collection and evaluation of data, and comparison to other cities of a similar size and climate.
Bridges to Prosperity Nicaragua Footbridge: Six CEE students, working with the organization Bridges to Prosperity, conducted a detailed feasibility study and site analysis and did a structural design for a footbridge for use in a rural area in the mountains of Nicaragua. The students chose a 120 meter suspended bridge design that will connect two communities on the north side of the Rio Grande de Matagalpa from the schools, healthcare clinics, and markets located on the south side. Water flow and hydraulic analysis were compiled to assess the stream flow, which varies greatly during the dry and rainy season. Several students will return to the site in December to construct the bridge with the help of local community members.
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Prescription Drug Identification Device: A four-member team of PSU Intel Vietnam Scholars created a prescription drug identification device for use in emergency rooms and medical offices when patients can't recall the drugs they are taking. By capturing an image of just one pill, the device can identify drugs in less than 15 seconds by matching the pill's identification number and/or shape and color against a database of 18,000 prescription drugs. The students won the Intel Cornell Cup Embedded Design Competition in May for their device, placing ahead of teams from the University of Pennsylvania and MIT.

Forget the hot dogs this Fourth of July. Your 401(k) and home value on Zillow may be making you feel poor but the star-spangled lining of the current economic climate is that you can afford to throw some lobster on the grill!
Lobster sank to lunchmeat pricesin 2009 during the recession because demand dried up and, thanks to this latest economic slowdown, we're back at bologna prices.
So, stop thinking of yourself as a victim and start eating like you're the king of the sea!
Small soft-shell lobsters in Portland, Maine have been selling for $3.79 to $4.99 a pound, the AP reports, which is lower than what bologna goes for at many deli counters. (Soft-shell lobsters, incidentally, have less meat but they are easier to crack open and can even be done by hand without special tools.)
Docks Seafood in South Portland even had a deal where they were offering five lobsters for $25 — and even dropped the price to $24, according to the AP.
Of course, that's not good news for the fisherman and seafood shops but given that Fourth of July is the start of tourism season, many are trying to flip it around as a good marketing opportunity.
"To heck with hot dogs and hamburgers, eat a lobster! They're very affordable. " Pete McAleney of New Meadows Lobster, a lobster dealer in Portland, told the AP.
Oh-h say can you see by the sea's ear-ly light
What so proud-ly we hailed lobster at the price of lunch meat
And the lobster's red glare!
The claws dip-ping in butter
Gave proof in this economy
That we don't have to live like savages.
Oh, say does that star-spangled nap-k-in ye-et wa-ave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the bargain.
Hand me that red, white and blue plate — it's lobster time!

Brentford's return to the second tier after 21 years ended with a deserved 1-1 Sky Bet Championship draw at home to London rivals Charlton.
Substitute Tommy Smith marked his debut with a deflected near-post finish with five minutes remaining after Igor Vetokele had given the visitors the lead just after the hour mark.
Vetokele struck with a close-range header from Johnnie Jackson's right-wing corner as the Bees defence were caught napping.
Brentford had the better of a cagey first half and should have taken the lead just before the break, but Jonathan Douglas failed to connect with Stuart Dallas' cross.
Tottenham loan signing Alex Pritchard also went close for the home team, curling a shot just past the far post after seven minutes.
Charlton goalkeeper Stephen Henderson tipped Alan Judge's 25-yard drive wide from under the angle as the Bees continued to press.
The Addicks were looking to attack on the break, and the tactic almost paid off midway through the opening half when George Tucudean beat the offside trap only to be thwarted by the out-rushing David Button.
Jackson should have done better but scooped his shot wide from the edge of the box and the first half ended in stalemate.
Vetokele served notice of what was to come early in the second half when he twice went close for the visitors.
First he forced a superb save from Button with a dipping drive and he then saw his header tipped onto the post a minute later.
The Belgian-Angolan forward did break the deadlock in the 64th minute when he diverted Jackson's corner past Button.
Brentford were guilty of poor finishing with Douglas and captain Tony Craig both wasting gilt-edged chances, the latter volleying over from close range when completely unmarked.
Charlton substitute Callum Harriott hit the bar midway through the second period after a mistake from Button.
Judge was soon left cursing the woodwork at the other end after being denied from a neatly struck free-kick.
But the hosts did get on the scoresheet five minutes from time, Smith finding an inch inside the six-yard box to smash home with a little help from Addicks defender Tal Ben Haim.

In Syria earlier this week, a large bomb went off at a meeting of Syria's highest officials, killing a number of them. Among the deceased were the Minister of Defense, the Interior Minister and Bashar Assad's brother in law Assef Shawkat, who most people understood to be the regime's shadowy enforcer. The Syrian opposition also launched a coordinated attack in several regions, including the heart of Damascus, right before the bomb went off. In the last couple of days the regime has forced back some of the rebel offensives, including the one in Damascus. The counter offensive is being led by Bashar's ruthless, hot tempered younger brother Maher, who is head of the infamous 4th Division. Maher is so hot tempered that he was reported to have shot a family relative at supper for a percieved insult as his entire family ate supper. The rebel offensive in other areas is actually making progress and numerous reports of entire Army battalions switching sides as they advance are probably accurate. The UNHCR on Friday reported that some 40,000 Syrians fled to Lebanon once rebels took over the border crossings. Numerous crossings on the Iraqi, Turkish and Lebanese borders were reportedly overrun, though reports today suggest the regime has taken some back. The UNHCR also reports that Syrian banks are running out of money, which if true is a really bad sign for the government.
My take is that Assad is not yet done, but this week has done a lot of harm to confidence in his regime. And its this confidence that matters most-- in a civil conflict, the one thing you don't want is to be caught standing by the losing side. The Russians and Chinese still are backing Assad diplomatically-- but that is not where Assad needs help. War is an expensive proposition-- vehicles break down, tanks get blown up, soldiers get wounded, weapons wear out and jam, ammo, gas, pay for the soldiers and thugs-- and the Syrian economy is essentially crumbling under the strain. This summer's drought in the US and the ensuing rise in grain prices will also be felt by the Syrian people. Unless Assad gets a lot of financial aid-- and he might well get it from Iran or Russia-- his regime probably won't last another six months.
Many people are probably wondering why Syria matters. After all, they export only tiny amounts of oil. But it matters because Syria is ground zero in a bigger power struggle-- the one between Iran & Russia on one side and Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey on the other. Syria borders Israel and Lebanon, where several minor wars have been fought recently. Tarsus, Syria is home to Russia's only Mediterranean sea port. Simply put, it has the potential to morph into a much bigger war as well as a sectarian bloodbath of unparalleled proportions.
In Spain, a bailout was announced for Spain's banks-- and with it came some ugly terms from the EU as outlined in my last post. There were protests and riots in a few places, but all in all it was'nt all too serious. One thing the Spanish government did this week was to announce a bailout fund for it's states {called regions} of some $25 billion. As of today, nearly all of Spain's regions have applied for bailout funding from this fund. On Thursday, the Spanish government held an auction for 5 year bonds-- and the auction failed. By Friday afternoon, Spanish bonds were sinking like the Titanic (ie.. interest rates demanded by people loaning to Spain were shooting upward}. They have been going up and down wildly for a couple months now, and its entirely possible they'll head south again this week. But another week of this and a second, bigger bailout will have to be announced to calm the bond markets. We're seen this all before-- in Greece, Ireland and Portugal, when bonds get to a certain point there seems to be no return, and I fully believe we've reached this point for Spain. Italy's bonds also sunk and are not far behind Spain. If you're getting that Greece feeling, you're not alone. It will be most interesting if Italy will be able to participate in the next Spanish bailout-- and if not, how long France's AA+ rating will last. The best answer for Europe is for Germany and their Nordic cousins to exit the Euro; today's article by Ambrose actually outlines a way for this to happen. But will it ? Maybe-- but not until Spain bites the dust financially. Unfortunately, this very event might well collapse the entire Continental banking system before the currency conversion takes place. From Ambrose's article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/9418988/Blaming-the-Spanish-victim-as-Europe-spirals-into-summer-crisis.html

Rachel Carson Institute
The Rachel Carson Institute (RCI) was established at Chatham College in 1989. Today, as Chatham University, the RCI continues the legacy of Chatham's most famous alumna, Rachel Carson, Class of '29, author, scientist and credited with helping form the modern environmental movement. The RCI is currently under transition to a new mission; please check back with us for further information.
The RCI is now part of the new Falk School of Sustainability and will continue its focus on promoting Rachel Carson's legacy - sustaining Earth's life support system - clean air, pure water, fertile soil, and biodiversity - through research, education and outreach. Rachel Carson's legacy embraces her international leadership in protecting the environment from the consequences of human actions; her body of written works making science understandable to the public, and her vision of people as part of a sustainable system of natural cycles.
As we begin building the Chatham Eden Hall Campus as an ecology-based facility, we can illustrate Rachel Carson's principles for all to share and experience. The Eden Hall Campus can amplify the philosophy Rachel Carson brought to her work, a philosophy that was shaped by her youth on the banks of the Allegheny River and her studies here in the early days of the Pennsylvania College for Women, which became Chatham University. These principles are illustrated abundantly in all of Chatham.
The RCI will focus on understanding and explaining the consequences of human actions on the global web of life. We will bring together leaders, scientists and scholars in Rachel Carson's name to address the critical issues of our time and offer creative directions and solutions. We offer empowerment and leadership for women in the synthesis of science and writing as career opportunities following in Rachel Carson's footsteps. We will sustain Rachel Carson's legacy through our actions illustrating her principles as an institution and as individuals.

By Leticia Salazar Fonseca, CFCA social worker in Costa Rica
|Leticia delivering mail to children in Desamparados
My name is Leticia, and I have been serving CFCA for more than eight years. It is early in the morning, and I get up thanking our Lord for another day of life. I put my life in His merciful hands as I prepare a cup of coffee.
To be part of the CFCA team has been an immense blessing for me. We feel that what we do is not just a job: it is a mission in our life. I get ready to visit communities in the morning and to distribute benefits in the afternoon. Today we will visit the communities of Desamparados, Los Alpes and La Managuita.
Los Alpes
In our home visits, we offer hope and dignity to all our sponsored families. This is why, early in the morning, we arrive at the community of Los Alpes. With the help of the mothers, we prepared breakfast for a little over 100 sponsored children and, while we do that, they all are talking about the trip to the water park they enjoyed last week. They had the opportunity to share with their friends and to enjoy the pools, horse rides, trails, etc. We had 12 buses full of smiling angels who waved at anybody who would look at them. To get out of their violent and aggressive communities and to be able to enjoy a healthy environment has a great meaning and value for them.
While we were with the children, we were notified that one of our sponsored elderly, Jose, had lost his home and belongings in a fire. Apparently robbers broke into his house the night before, while he slept at his relativesí, and decided to burn it to erase any evidence. We went to visit Jose and found him sadly looking through the rubble of his house and remembering his 50 years of marriage.
Last year, Joseís wife passed away, and this has him very depressed, ìI lost little things and memories that one saves,î Jose said with tears in his eyes. ìGod loves me; he did not let me die in this fire. No matter what happens, we must trust Him, because better things will come.î
Jose lost eight guitars he handmade. ìThe material things burned down but the formula to make my guitars cannot be taken away, it is saved in my memory,î Jose told us. Amidst the pain, it is incredible to see the solidarity of the sponsored families in the area who were already trying to find clothing and goods to help Jose. CFCA is already finding ways to support him, too.
La Managuita
Later today we went to a very dangerous area, the community of Managuita. This is a precarious community, formed mostly by migrants from Nicaragua or Costa Rican citizens coming from the rural areas. At the center of the community, there is a small river that carries the disposals of other communities. For our safety, we were accompanied by two, well-known sponsored mothers in the area, Maruja and Macha. The presence of these women is important because they are recognized and accepted by the local gangs.
Todayís pilgrimage has enabled us to feel the family violence. A mother of sponsored children cried in our arms when she told us that her husband threatened to kill her earlier that day. We listened to her and told her how important she was in Godís loving plan, that she was a precious jewel as His daughter and that she can count on our support and the support of the other mothers in her community. Later that day, we had the opportunity to drink coffee with her husband. Knowing the reality of the family, we shared with him how violence destroys the family and those around it. It seems to me that, after the conversation, he reflected on what we discussed. Hopefully the family situation will improve. We truly hope to find options to support this family.
There is a group of sponsored mothers who get together twice a week to make homemade bread to be sold among friends and neighbors. They call their group ìGod will provide.î This group is great therapy because many times, while baking, the mothers talk about their problems and how they can solve them.
It is 12:50 p.m., when we arrived at the community of Desamparados, which is located in the suburbs of the city, holding great social conflicts such as poverty, unemployment, drugs, violence and death. These are dangerous environments for us but we trust God, who is protecting us, and our sponsored families, who cared for our safety.
We distributed benefits this week. Cloth certificates are provided to the families so they can buy clothing. Some children tell us what kind of cloth they want; others donít know yet. They all are very happy and will make their final decision at the store.
While distributing benefits, we already know that Damaris, mother of sponsored member Luis, will not be in our meeting. Her other son is in the hospital after being stabbed by local gangsters three days ago. When we found out about it, we sat with his mother for many hours after he was out of surgery. ìGod never leaves me alone,î Damaris said, with tears in her eyes.
I am back home. It is very late. I am tired but my heart is full of gratitude to our Lord, and before going to bed, I pray for all the families I visited today and for CFCA to continue offering hope and restoring dignity. Good nightÖ

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Consumer spending was tepid in January as higher taxes squeezed incomes, but vigor in the manufacturing sector last month suggested economic growth picked up early this quarter.
Other data on Friday showed strong auto sales and a rise in consumer sentiment in February, which should help support spending.
The reports suggested the economy had enough momentum to withstand the $85 billion in federal budget cuts known as the "sequester" that were set to start taking hold on Friday, but not so much as to convince the Federal Reserve to decrease its monetary support for the recovery.
"The numbers say the economy does have a reasonable amount of momentum that is probably enough to deal with whatever comes from the sequestration," said Bill Cheney, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services in Boston.
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, increased 0.2 percent in January, the Commerce Department said. The increase was driven by spending on utilities after a cold snap.
After adjusting for inflation, spending was up just 0.1 percent.
In a separate report, the Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity rose to 54.2 in February on strong orders growth. It was the highest level since June 2011 and followed as reading of 53.1 in January.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in manufacturing and the rise bucked the global trend, where factories in the euro zone were mired in weakness and activity in China slowed.
The report suggested manufacturing will continue to support U.S. growth, a welcome sign as consumer spending is expected to pull back sharply this quarter due to higher taxes.
"We expect a significant decrease in real consumer spending in the first half of the year," said Yelena Shulyatyeva, a U.S. economist at BNP Paribas in New York.
Shulyatyeva said she expects the economy to advance at a meager 1.2 percent annual rate in the first quarter. In the final three months of last year, it rose at a 0.1 percent pace, even as consumer spending rose at a healthy 2.1 percent rate.
U.S. stocks closed higher on the factory and confidence reports, while the dollar hit a six-month high against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury debt prices rose on worries that the automatic government spending cuts would dent growth.
The International Monetary Fund said on Thursday that the cuts, if fully implemented, could shave at least half a percentage point from growth this year.
The pressure on spending from the expiration of a 2 percent payroll tax cut and higher tax rates for wealthy Americans is expected to be even larger in February and possibly extend through the first half of the year.
But there is reason to be cautiously optimistic.
U.S. auto sales rose nearly 4 percent in February and were above a 15-million unit annual rate for a fourth straight month, the first time this has happened since early 2008.
In addition, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index rose to 77.6 in February from 73.8 in January, amid optimism over jobs.
Steady job growth should help support spending, given that income tumbled 3.6 percent in January, the largest drop since January 1993. Part of the decline was payback for a 2.6 percent surge in December as businesses rushed to pay dividends and bonuses before taxes moved higher.
Taking taxes into account, income plunged a record 4.0 percent in January after advancing 2.7 percent in December.
With income dropping sharply, consumers put a brake on their spending to pay their bills. The saving rate - the percentage of disposable income households are socking away - fell to 2.4 percent, the lowest level since November 2007. The rate had jumped to 6.4 percent in December.
The report showed inflation under wraps with a price index for consumer spending flat for a second straight month and a core reading that strips out food and energy costs up just 0.1 percent.
Over the past 12 months, inflation has risen just 1.2 percent, the smallest gain since October 2009 and a slowdown from the 1.4 percent logged in the period through December.
Core prices are up 1.3 percent, the smallest rise since April 2011 and well below the Fed's 2 percent target.
The lack of inflation should come as welcome relief for American households, but it could cause some nervousness at the U.S. central bank, which may see it as a symptom of the economy's weakness.
In testimony to Congress this week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled that the central bank would press forward with plans to buy $85 billion in bonds per month.
"The poor performance in real spending activity will continue to augur for more policy accommodation as they try to provide a monetary offset for the expected fiscal drag, which should accelerate in the second quarter," said Millan Mulraine, a senior economist at TD Securities in New York.

1 Principles topenlarge
In cases where it is not possible to proceed to early definitive osteosynthesis (polytrauma, soft-tissue problems, patient condition, limited resources), a spanning external fixator is often used. A long leg splint can also be applied.
Temporary, proximal tibial, skeletal traction is reserved for those cases in which it is not possible to place a spanning external fixator, or use a long leg splint.
Care should be taken to protect pressure points on the skin.
Teaching video
AO teaching video: Skeletal traction
2 Surface anatomy topenlarge
Tibial tuberosity/patella/common peroneal nerve
Bend the knee to make identification of the surface anatomy easier.
First, locate the prominence of the tibial tuberosity and circle it with a skin marker.
Next, identify the patella, followed by the infrapatellar tendon.
Rotate the leg internally and palpate the fibular head. The location of the peroneal nerve is just posterior to the fibular head. This area should be avoided during pin insertion.
3 Pin insertion topenlarge
Stab incision
Use a local anesthetic injected subcutaneously down to the tibial periosteum. Make a stab incision approximately 2.5 cm posterior to the tibial tuberosity avoiding the peroneal nerve.
Wire insertion
Insert a large K-wire, or a strong Steinmann pin, 1-2 cm distal to the level of the tibial tubercle. Ensure that the pin is inserted 1 cm posterior to the anterior cortex of the tibia to ensure that it does not cut out of the tibia.
In elderly patients with osteoporotic bone if long term temporary fixation is required the pin may need to be incorporated into a below knee plaster.
Alternatively, two parallel pins, about 1 cm apart, preloaded, and linked medially and laterally with Hoffmann-type external fixator clamps, will reduce the risk of cutting out.
4 Application of skeletal traction topenlarge
After the wire has been inserted, connect it to an appropriate stirrup with 7-15 kg skeletal traction. Place a padded bolster in the supracondylar region to allow for knee flexion.
There may need to be some counter traction and the foot of the bed may need to be elevated.

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is more comprehensive than many people realize.
When most of us hear "BSA," we think about the requirements under the regulation to file Currency Transaction Reports (CTR) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR).
But did you know there are also recordkeeping requirements under the regulation that apply to wire transfers and monetary instruments?
● Wire transfers: When your credit union acts as an originating bank for a wire transfer of $3,000 or more, you must retain a record of:
1. The originator's name and address;
2. The amount, date, and payment instructions received;
3. The beneficiary bank identification (ID); and
4. The beneficiary's name and address, or the beneficiary's account number if received with the payment order, along with any payment instructions received with the payment order.
The acronym PLEASE can help staff remember all the points to check when verifying a member's ID:
● Picture: Compare the image to the individual presenting the ID.
● Logos/holograms: These can help verify the validity of a driver's license number.
● Expiration date: If it's out-of-date, it's not a valid ID.
● Age: Compare the date of birth on the ID to the age of the member presenting the ID.
● Signature: Compare the signature on the ID to the one on the transaction receipt or item presented.
● Evidence of tampering: Check for possible alterations.
Whenever your credit union serves as the beneficiary bank in a wire transfer, you're required to keep a copy of each payment order received.
● Purchases of monetary instruments: Credit unions must maintain specific information about the sale or issuance of monetary instruments, when a purchase totals between $3,000 and $10,000 and is made with cash.
You must maintain this information when the purchaser has a deposit account with your credit union:
1. Name of the purchaser;
2. Date of purchase;
3. Type(s) of instrument(s) purchased;
4. Serial number(s) of each instrument(s) purchased; and
5. Dollar amount of the instrument.
Verify the purchaser's identity through credit union records or through acceptable ID, and record the method of ID.
In the past, financial institutions were required to keep this information in a physical logbook. That's no longer the case: You can maintain the information in any format (including electronic) that gives you access to BSA records upon an examiner or law enforcement official's request, within a reasonable period of time.
Your credit union has the right to refuse a transaction if the purchaser can't provide the required information at the time of purchase.

kgethanllc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 25 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Multifaceted ID/Prox/Smart Card Outsourcement Company looking for logo to be created for "Exxocard.com" our homepage. Looking for a clean, web 2.0 ish logo that works well with the referenced template we are using.
Exxocard is a subsidiary of KG Ethan LLC that specializes in the outsourcement of plastic card products. We produce and customize low to medium size quantities of (however not limited to) ID cards, Contactless Smart Cards, Proximity Cards, Membership Cards, Bank and Credit Cards, Business Cards, International Identity Cards, etc. We also have several iniatives in Java Card applications, facial recognition software, and equipment leasing. We differientiate ourselves from our competitors through innovation, we offer over 5 times as many customization options as well as the lowest base rate price for under 500 sales. All designs are made through an inhouse applet designed. The image we want through convey through our logo is that we are credible and established; however we are also innovative. (logo will be used alot on stationary, order forms, etc.)
Please try to avoid making the logo look too gamey or technical, we are looking for the web 2.0 look however do not take this too far.
We added the ending of card to give the reader an understanding somewhat of what we do. Exxo is the brandable name that will be used reoccuringly. We will eventually buy out Exxo and Exocard, so if the focus is on the first part of the company name - all the better. Feel free to use abbreviations and do whatever you want with the double x. (as long as it isnt confusing). We do not only sell cards, so the logo should not pigeonhole us into that category (you can use card images but only if it really works)
We give alot of freedom to the designer; do what you think will look the best. The only requirement is that it works decently well with the template referenced and that it has smaller versions of itself. You do NOT have to use the orange accent on the template we referenced, we will most likely get rid of that color.
Reference this template:
(its also posted on kgethanllc.com but is being debugged)
Any questions feel free to ask - email@example.com
- Clean, polished looking logo (web 2.0)
- Something that fits the description of what we want to convey.
- Logo that fits well with template
- Logo in Vector + PSD Format
- Smaller versions of the logo to use, possibly of the Exxo part.
- Gamey or technical feel, we are not a software company.
- Does not have to fit orange color accent

Columbia University is seeking to change the terms of a fellowship that can only be awarded to white students from Iowa.
The Lydia C. Roberts Graduate Fellowship stipulates that money be given only to "a person of the Caucasian race."
Roberts left Columbia most of her $509,000 estate when she died in 1920 and created the highly restrictive fellowship. In addition to the "whites only" rule, Roberts fellows must be from Iowa, must not study law or several other fields, and must return to Iowa for two years after graduating.
University officials filed court papers last week seeking to change the race provisions of the bequest.
The Daily News reports that Columbia hasn't awarded the fellowship since 1997.

Michael P. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
We need to create a logo for a new web site that we are launching: peggsit.com
The website will allow individuals to post gigs and members of their community to apply to fill them. Sample gigs include cutting the grass for an elderly neighbor, tutoring the kid down the street in math, putting an IKEA cabinet together for the single mom or helping a father assemble his daughters swing set on a Saturday afternoon.
Our aim is to create an entirely new job market for short term gigs. Our tagline, Get Paid in Your Free Time, says it all!
Our target market will include US residents, with our beta release occurring in the Bay Area. Initially, our goal is to target 'employers' to post and 'job seekers' to apply to gigs. The employers tend to be between the ages of 25 and 45 and female. The Job Seekers skew much younger, in the 18 to 25 range with an almost even split between men and women.
We are going for professional and simplicity. I am not set on a specific graphic, image or idea so let your creativity flow. Also, I am not set on a color scheme but preferences include all shades of blue, yellow/gold and orange.
The logo should be lower cased and include the .com tag: peggsit.com.
The logo should be able to be reproduced and readable on a business card and other print marketing materials.

So I've decided to implement a message-based system to things in my engine - this includes rendering. Bascially the engine will send a message to the player once every iteration of the game loop to tell him to redraw himself at a given X,Y co-ord.
T'all works well except the sprite leaves nasty trails behind it when it moves. I tried to SDL_FillRect() the background every frame but that didn't work - it all just went blank.
I haven't used SDL very much so is there something else I'm supposed to be doing?
EDIT: Oh and if you're wondering, I've decided to clone that good ol' Net Yaroze version of Rocks 'n' Gems as my first game. And that sprite was 4 red dots until I moved it.
EDIT2: I looked at SDL_UpdateRect(), made no difference.

I think that kindergarten has been one of the neatest phases of my daughter's life. The things that she is learning in kindergarten blow my mind. They are reading and writing things that, I swear, we didn't learn until the second grade. Sadie's writings are a source of much humor in our home. Today, she came home from school with this in her backpack: (you can click to enlarge)
What she intended it to say is: "Gorilla. It's furry. It's gray. It's big. It's from Africa. It's a gorilla." But I think the way she wrote it is much, much better. Because really- there are just not enough big, furry, African, gay gorillas in the world!

David Ellis Events Company Overview
est. 2003
At David Ellis, our team of professionals provides all-inclusive event production capabilities including, but not limited to, menu design, staffing, floral design, general rental equipment, entertainment, tenting, and furniture rental. We even cover location scouting, permits and insurance.
Since its inception, David Ellis has donated close to a $1,000,000 in product and services to a variety of tax-exempt organizations in both New York and New Jersey. We believe it is important to support the communities and organizations that have assisted David Ellis Events to achieve our goals in strengthening our foundation.
Our clients have come to trust our team with the most important moments of their lives. We've catered, planned, and produced thousands of events for a variety of private, corporate and non-profit organizations in the New York Metropolitan Area, Los Angeles, and Miami including many of the most notable and prestigious individuals in our market.
Over the years, we've been honored to participate with many exclusive occasions including Dinner for President Barack Obama, a 700 person DIRECTV sponsored Super Bowl fundraiser, and the most recent Mansion in May New Jersey Gala for the Women's Association of Morristown Medical Center. From an intimate dinner for two to several thousand guests, our team custom designs each experience and reviews each event, [big or small] equally as important as the next.
Constantly creating unforgettable experiences is what we do. Whether a simple delivery to a new client or an extravagant gala, our family-operated business takes pride in providing each client with an outstanding level of service. We operate out of Berkeley Heights, New Jersey; conveniently situated between New York City and the Fortune 500 Belt of New Jersey.
David Ellis Events would like to thank our clients for their patronage over the past decade and we look forward to creating many new relationships. We have enjoyed bringing a part of what we love to you.
Thank you,
Book an Event
How much will my event cost? Why do you want to know my budget? Why are you so nosey?
Every catered event is different and requires a detailed review to determine the correct outline to fulfill the requests of the client as well as the requirements of efficiency and standards from the on-site David Ellis team. Although there is no standardized pricing, we do our best to pre-estimate costs for our clients, discuss their expectations on budgets, and collaborate to find the most appropriate manner to provide a successful event. Generally speaking, however, the sky is the limit… So if we don't have a budget in mind we won't know where we have limitations and are unable to provide educated suggestions to our clients.
Do you have menus posted on your site? I just want to order from the corporate menu for my Christmas dinner.
This menu is reserved for our Corporate Clients only. All menus for Private Clients; albeit for catered events or deliveries are custom designed and priced based on detailed conversations with the client.
Who is David?
The name David Ellis is derived from the middle names of our founders & brothers Jonathan David Peters & Chad Ellis Peters.
May I hire your staff to serve food from a different caterer? May I use my own servers/bartenders?
David Ellis Events invests quite a bit of time & money training our staff to ensure that our clients are provided with the best possible service level and enhancing the brand of David Ellis Events. We do not provide staffing in the New York Metro Area for events catered by other companies. But if you just need staff for butlering, we'd be happy to accommodate. We do, however, provide staffing only from our Satellite offices in Miami Beach, Florida and Santa Monica, California. Additionally, when providing catering services, our insurance policy prohibits the use of client-hired staff when our staff is present.
Do you offer tastings?
Tastings are offered for Mitzvahs, Weddings, and Galas/Fundraisers for a cost.
What is your minimum?
We don't have a minimum or a maximum size event. Costs can however become cost prohibitive for smaller events.
I called an hour ago. Where is my proposal?
As we custom design all proposals and receive dozens of proposal requests per week, we prioritize our workload based on the time-period that an event is actually taking place. We do our best, however, to send proposals within 7 business days.
How much notice is needed to schedule an event?
Most clients begin the planning process 1-2 months in advance of their event and sometimes 6-12 months in advance for larger occasions. Planning more than 12 months in advance usually increases costs. We have the ability to accommodate any request even if it is one day in advance, but an expedited process may increase costs as well.
If you need assistance with a menu, please contact Events by Addison Taylor, email@example.com
Available 5AM - 9PM
Please include in additional notes:
Are there any food restrictions or allergies we need to be aware of?
Specialty Services
Do you need assistance with Valet/Limo Service, Floral & Décor, Entertainment, Lighting, Tenting, Bathroom Trailers, Specialty Cakes, or other specialty services?
