Okla. tornado damage could top $2 billion
MOORE, Okla. (AP) — The cost of a massive tornado that battered an Oklahoma City suburb could be more than $2 billion, according to a preliminary official estimate announced Wednesday. State authorities meanwhile said two infants were among the 24 people who perished in the twister.
Oklahoma Insurance Department spokeswoman Calley Herth told The Associated Press that the early damage tally is based on visual assessments of the extensive disaster zone that stretches more than 17 miles and the fact that Monday's tornado was on the ground for 40 minutes.
The financial cost of the tornado in Moore could be greater than the $2 billion in damage from the 2011 tornado that killed 158 people in Joplin, Mo., Herth said, adding that the Joplin twister left a smaller trail of destruction.
Authorities have yet to say how many homes were damaged or destroyed, but an aerial view of the site shows whole neighborhoods obliterated, with gouged earth littered with splintered wood and pulverized cars.
Dan Ramsey, president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Oklahoma, said a damage estimate in the low billions is "not surprising."
"Certainly it's in the hundreds of millions," Ramsey said. "I suppose seeing projections from similar disasters, it could stretch to a billion" or more.
The National Weather Service said the tornado was a top-of-the-scale EF5 twister with winds of at least 200 mph — the first EF5 tornado of 2013.
With no reports of anyone still missing, the Oklahoma medical examiner's office announced that it has positively identified 23 of the 24 people who died in the tornado, and that 10 of those killed are children.
All of the children have been identified, among them 4-month-old Case Futrell and 7-month-old Sydnee Vargyas. Both babies died from head injuries. The eight other children ranged in age from 4 years to 9 years. Of those, six were suffocated. The other two died from massive injuries.
Medical examiner's office spokeswoman Amy Elliott said they are still trying to contact relatives of eight of the victims.
Authorities and residents of Moore have started to assess the damage and plot a future course for Moore, a town of about 56,000 that was also hit by a massive tornado in 1999.
Mayor Glen Lewis said Wednesday he would propose an ordinance in the next couple of days to modify building codes to require that every new home in the town would have a reinforced tornado shelter.
Lewis said he was confident he would get the four votes he needs on the six-member council to pass the ordinance. The measure could be in force within months.
Underground safe rooms are typically built below garages and can cost around $4,000.
Besides rebuilding or repairing, homeowners are likely to suffer other expenses, including a rise in home insurance premiums, Ramsey said.
"Three years of hail bombardments of apocalyptic proportions and then this? It has to result in some give someplace," he said.
Residents clearing massive piles of debris were also trying to get hold of essentials like mobile phones and prescription drugs lost in the destruction. Cellular service providers set up mobile retail outlets and charging stations. At least one was offering free phone calls and loaner phones.
Insurance companies have also set up emergency operation centers to take calls from people trying to get prescriptions filled and handle other health care needs.
The emotional trauma of the destruction compounded the tornado's cost.
With her son holding her elbow, 83-year-old Colleen Arvin walked up her driveway Tuesday to see what was left of her home of 40 years.
Part of the roof was sitting in the front yard, and the siding from the front of her home for the past 40 years was gone. As her son and grandsons picked through what was left of her belongings, Arvin found some dark humor in the situation.
"Oh thank God," she said, laughing, when a grandson brought over her keys. "We can get in the house."
Rescue workers have been searching tirelessly for survivors and victims, despite the difficulty of navigating devastated neighborhoods because all the street signs were gone. Some rescuers used smartphones or GPS devices to guide them through areas with no recognizable landmarks.
Moore Fire Chief Gary Bird said Tuesday he was confident there are no more bodies or survivors in the rubble. Every damaged home had been searched at least once, Bird said, but his goal was to conduct three searches of each building just to be certain there were no more bodies or survivors.
"I'm 98 percent sure we're good," Bird said.

Targus has today released a novel new accessory for the iPad that allows you to produce handwritten notes or drawings using a typical paper notepad and have them automatically transferred to the iPad.
The accessory is called the iNotebook and consists of a Bluetooth receiver and pen that detects and records your every stroke. The receiver attaches to a standard notepad allowing you to write as normal. The pen movement is detected by the receiver and your actions recorded. A free app available from the App Store then allows you to transfer the recorded information to your iPad for safe keeping.
Once your notes have been transferred to the app you can email them or store them on iCloud as a backup. Both the pen and the receiver can be stored away in the supplied leather portfolio case which also has room for a notepad.
Targus believes the iNotepad could be really useful in meetings or lectures as it gives you the freedom to scribble down pages of notes on standard paper, which is probably much quicker than writing on a tablet's touchscreen. However, the pen does act as a stylus too, so you do have the option to write directly on the screen as well if you prefer.
The one aspect of iNotebook that may put a lot of people of picking it up is the price. At $149.99 it isn't cheap for what is effectively a notes transfer system. However, if you prefer to handwrite your notes, and would benefit from quick and easy backups, the iPad peripheral may be worth the investment.
The idea behind the iNotebook is very similar to what Wacom has done with the Inkling, which turns paper sketches into digital artwork. The main difference here is the inclusion of the iPad. For an extra $50 the Inkling saves your notes and sketches in a range of different formats that can be exported directly into popular editing packages such as Photoshop or Illustrator. It's worth investigating both options before deciding to buy.
Check out the iNotebook prototype Targus was showing off at CES earlier this year:

The LOLcats craze pretty much passed me by. LOLcats are cute, sometimes funny, but they get on my nerves after awhile. Other folks have a lot more patience than I have. Volunteers are translating the Bible into LOLcat-speak. And I have to admit, it's pretty funny in parts — the translation, I mean.

This might have been the 40th anniversary of Division C, or perhaps the Blue Division, had one of the ideas for naming what is today the NCAA's largest membership division gained support in 1973. Instead, a vote to divide the Association into three divisions sparked the evolution of a unique student-athlete experience that gives special meaning today to the name that 233 schools agreed to adopt for themselves four decades ago: Division III.
40-IN-40 Project
Beginning September 11 and extending over 40 weeks, Division III will profile former student-athletes from 1973 or later who exemplify the division's attributes: Proportion, Comprehensive Learning, Passion, Responsibility, Sportsmanship and Citizenship. The series, named 40-in-40, will show how these individuals followed their passions and discovered their potential during their time on Division III campuses, leading to success in pursuits ranging from the law and government to medicine to arts and sciences. Many of the individuals who will be featured were nominated for inclusion in the series by their schools. A few will be well-known; others are noteworthy for their postgraduate successes. Many truly found their life's calling as participants in the unique Division III student-athlete experience.

New blood donors campaign - We need you
PUBLISHED: 09:20 03 December 2012 | UPDATED: 09:41 03 December 2012
People in Norfolk are being urged to help save a life this winter and sign up to become a blood donor.
The Evening News is today launching the New Blood Campaign, in association with NHS Blood and Transplant which manages voluntary donations nationally, to recruit 750 new donors during December.
There is a continuing need for blood donation as around 7,000 units of blood are used every day in the UK and blood banks currently have around eight days' worth of stock.
Blood stocks fall around bank holidays and busy periods when people are preoccupied and forget to book an appointment to donate.
Hundreds of units are needed every day to help save lives in our region.
Nigel Pickover, editor-in-chief of the Norwich Evening News and Eastern Daily Press, said: "We are delighted to get behind such a worthwhile appeal. There really is no greater gift than the gift of life and by getting behind this campaign and donating blood that is exactly what people can do. We know people in Norfolk have a long history of being generous and getting behind worthy campaigns and we hope the same will happen in this instance."
Derek Carr, NHS Blood and Transplant's donor relations manager, is calling on people to pledge to become a donor.
He said: "Over the past 10 years we have seen a 20pc drop in young donors. As we move to the future we need new donors to come forward to replace those who can no longer donate." He said the trust had carried out research to find out what had caused the drop in young donors.
"It's down to three main reasons. The first is a fear that it's going to hurt. People don't know what to expect. Anxiety is a normal feeling but as a donor I know it's nothing worse than a sharp scratch. It's a rewarding experience.
"The second reason is time. People think it's going to take hours and hours. With new donors the entire session, providing they have booked an appointment, will last an hour from the moment they walk through the door until they leave. The part where you give blood takes around seven minutes."
He said the third was that people did not know where to go to give blood. The National Blood Service holds between 10 and 15 sessions every week across Norfolk in places including Norwich, Long Stratton, Gorleston and Hoveton.
"Some people think you can only give blood somewhere with a medical connection like a hospital but we hold sessions at Norwich City Football Club, church halls and in hotels," Mr Carr said.
"It's a totally voluntary thing to do. It's altruistic."
People are encouraged to sign up and book an appointment before attending a session. They can be booked online or over the phone at a range of locations across the county. Red blood cells have a shelf life of 35 days. Platelets, which are used for patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer or leukaemia, people who need transplants, and people with life-threatening bleeding due to trauma or surgery, have to be used within seven days.
Katie Corbould, whose son Mark Sweeney needed a blood transfusion when he was a baby, is one of those backing the campaign.
Mark is like any other nine-year-old boy. He enjoys playing football and basketball and being with his friends. But he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a cancer which affects children, when he was just six weeks old. He underwent an operation to remove a kidney and in the process, needed a blood and platelet transfusion.
Miss Corbould, 28, who lives in Rightup Lane, Wymondham, with her partner Callum McNeill, 41, was just 18 years old when Mark was diagnosed.
"They found a lump the size of an orange on his left kidney," she said. "He had to have six doses of chemotherapy and due to that he had to have a blood transfusion. I was worried about him dying."
Mark, who attends Robert Kett School in Wymondham, spent a month in Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and was also treated in Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where he underwent a major operation which included two units of blood and one unit of platelets being transfused into his body. Now Miss Courbould is encouraging other people to roll up their sleeve and help to save a life.
She said: "I would urge everybody to give blood. Thirty or 40 years ago he wouldn't have survived the cancer and blood donors helped to save his life."

Columbia, river, c.1,210 mi (1,950 km) long, rising in Columbia Lake, SE British Columbia, Canada. It flows first NW in the Rocky Mt. Trench, then hooks sharply about the Selkirk Mts. to flow S through Upper Arrow Lake and Lower Arrow Lake and receive the Kootenai River (spelled Kootenay in Canada) before entering the United States after a course of 465 mi (748 km). It continues S through Washington and just below the mouth of the Spokane River is forced by lava beds to make a great bend westward before veering south again, running the while entrenched in a narrow valley through the Columbia Plateau. Its chief tributary, the Snake River, joins it just before it turns west again. The Columbia then forms part of the Washington-Oregon border before entering the Pacific Ocean through a wide estuary W of Portland, Oreg.
The Columbia River has created regal gorges by cutting through the Cascades and the Coast Ranges; it is fed by the Cowlitz and Willamette rivers, which drain the Puget trough between those ranges. Grand Coulee, now a reservoir in the Columbia basin project , was a former stream channel of the Columbia River. It was created during the last ice age when the Columbia's course was blocked by ice, forcing it to cut a new channel through the Columbia Plateau. When the ice receded the river resumed its former channel.

From April to July 1994, one of the most brutal genocides in human history occurred in Rwanda. It claimed the lives of 800,000 men, women, and children, most of whom were of Tutsi descent. Kwibuka, the official anniversary of the Rwandan Tutsi Genocide, is observed every year on April 7. Explore this selection of testimony clips of survivors and eyewitnesses to the genocide from the Visual History Archive.
At the end of each interview the Institute recorded for the Archive, the interviewer would ask the interviewee if he or she had a special message for future generations watching the interview. The survivors and other witnesses often spoken about such themes as forgiveness, the importance of individual action, and the need to teach children tolerance. Here are a few messages from the Institute's Archive.
Several people responded to active discrimination by helping the victims in different ways. This is a collection of clips highlighting testimony from survivors and aid givers themselves. One question that sometimes emerges in these clips is "what made you stand up to discrimination and racial intolerance?"
A series of clips from survivors speaking about their experiences with personal as well as institutional forms of discrimination. These clips include testimonies from the European Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, and the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda collections.
A collection of clips from the Institute Archive that focus on interviewees describing particular feelings and emotions they experienced, such as fear, gratitude, and attitudes about others.
Possibly the most well-known example of these rescue operations involved individual British families agreeing to "host" children from Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic through a program known as Kindertransport. Through this program, organized by Sir Nicholas Winton, an estimated 10,000 refugee children, most of them Jewish, were housed in the United Kingdom during the war. These children were able to avoid ghettoization and camp experiences; in many cases, they were the only members of their families to survive the Holocaust.

Ayn Rand devotees are eagerly awaiting the latest Herculean effort of Cybex CEO John Aglialoro. No, not a new piece of exercise equipment, but a movie based on Rand's most popular novel, "Atlas Shrugged."
Back in 1992, Aglialoro optioned the film rights to the novel. However, he was only able to get the movie into production this past summer after deciding to produce the movie himself. Two days before he would have lost film rights to the novel if he hadn't gotten the movie into production, filming started. Six weeks later, the movie wrapped and went into post production. It's set to be released in the spring. It covers part one of the book. Parts two and three will be filmed as two separate movies.
At one time, Angelina Jolie was rumored to be in the running to play Dagny Taggart, the lead. However, that role ultimately went to Taylor Schilling, who played nurse Veronica Callahan on the TV show "Mercy." None of the actors in the movie are well known. TV actor Paul Johansson stars as John Galt, and he was named as the director just a few days before filming started.
Some blog writers have questioned the quality of the production. However, Aglialoro says in a video on the Atlas Society website that the film does justice to the novel and Rand's philosophy.
"There will be a bulls-eye on showing people that they are entitled to their own lives and those lives cannot be yielded to any other force, certainly not government," Aglialoro says in the video clip. Aglialoro is a trustee of the Atlas Society, which promotes objectivism, a philosophy founded by Rand.
I wonder how Aglialoro found time to produce this movie and run Cybex. The movie's release definitely will help get his mind off the recent $66 million jury verdict against Cybex related to equipment made by the company 27 years ago.
I'm one of the more than 400,000 people who bought "Atlas Shrugged" this year. but I haven't delved into the novel yet. It looks like I will have to read at least those first 127 pages before spring. I hate seeing a movie when I haven't read the book first.

House prices in Northern Ireland edged up last month, new figures show.
A limited supply of properties and a drop in the number of home owners wanting to sell means the upward trajectory looks set to continue, the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and Ulster Bank Residential Market Survey found.
Residential property spokesman Samuel Dickey said: "In relation to prices, a very limited supply continues to be the key factor in any upward movement."
New buyer enquiries dropped for the third time in four months, according to the survey, while new instructions to sell fell for the second month in a row. As a result, newly agreed sales fell back for the second time in four months.
Mr Dickey said market activity in the market may well pick up.
He added: "Anecdotally, there seems to be significant variation in the market, with some areas continuing to see healthy demand, whilst others have seen activity tail off.
"There are perhaps seasonal factors at play, as well as an element of people taking a wait and see approach in relation to how the economy is faring.
"Recent economic data at a UK level suggests that the economy is performing better than expected, so we may well see sentiment in the housing market strengthen as we move forward."
Meanwhile, some £350 million was borrowed for house purchasing during the second quarter of this year - a 3% rise quarter on quarter and 13% rise year on year, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
Sean Murphy, managing director, branch banking at Ulster Bank, said the statistics were "encouraging" adding that despite some wider economic uncertainty there had been a significant increase in first time buyer borrowing as well as for re-mortgaging.
Meanwhile, surveyors have founed that housing market confidence is picking up following the vote to leave the EU, with both property sales and prices expected to increase in the months ahead.
Surveyors expect house prices to increase by 3.3% per year on average for the next five years, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) found.
This marks the most confident prediction given in the survey since the referendum vote, although not as strong as predictions made closer to the start of the year, when surveyors predicted annual price growth of more than 4%.
The number of surveyors seeing house prices rising started to grow in August, following five months of the number slipping back.
A net balance of 12% of surveyors reported house prices rising rather than falling in August, up from a balance of 5% the previous month.
For the sixth month in a row, more surveyors in London reported prices falling rather than rising, but in most other parts of the UK, prices showed signs of increasing, Rics said.
East Anglia and the West Midlands had the strongest price growth, with balances of 30% and 22% of surveyors respectively in these areas reporting prices rising rather than falling.
In Wales, a net balance of 13% of surveyors reported prices rising rather than falling, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland the balance of surveyors reporting rising prices was 17%.
For the first time since April, near-term house price expectations were generally positive in August, with a net balance of 10% of surveyors expecting house prices to increase rather than decrease over the next three months.
And while prices in London are expected to see little change over the next 12 months - remaining around current August prices, in other parts of the UK they are expected to edge higher.
Rics said a "real shortage of property for sale" is a key factor supporting house prices.
It said "this looks set to persist for a while yet," as the number of homes coming on the market fell back again during August and average stock levels on estate agents' books were close to record lows.
Demand for homes from buyers also fell back in August, although the pace of decline has eased significantly, Rics said. In August, an overall balance of 7% of surveyors reported buyer demand falling rather than rising, but in July the balance of surveyors seeing demand fall back was much higher, at 25%.
Interest from buy-to-let investors has dropped off particularly sharply over the past three months, while interest from first-time buyers and home movers fell to lesser degrees, the report said.
A stamp duty hike for second-home buyers, including buy-to-let investors, imposed on April 1 has been blamed for disrupting the housing market and causing sales to bunch up earlier in the year as buyers rushed to snap up properties before the deadline.
One surveyor quoted in the report said: "Our market is very much driven by second homes in the Lake District and is still suffering from the April stamp duty change."
While house sales declined sharply after the referendum vote, the picture has now stabilised, the report said.
Looking ahead, house sales are projected to increase across all areas of the UK in the coming 12 months.
Simon Rubinsohn, Rics chief economist, said: "There are clear signs that the housing market is settling down after the initial surprise of the outcome to the EU referendum. Buyer enquiries did dip again in August but only modestly, and more significantly, sales expectations are beginning to edge upwards once again."

The Fayette Historical Society has two trips planned in October to kick off the fall season.
The group will first visit the Fulton County Historical Museum to see the Civil War exhibit. Anyone interested in attending should meet at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 7 at the Fayette Opera House Village Green Parking Lot at 9:30 a.m. to carpool and travel together. A small fee will be charged at the museum.
A second trip is scheduled Oct. 24 to tour the historical museum at Hudson, Mich. Meet at the Opera House Village Green parking lot at 12:30 p.m. to travel together.
HISTORY DAY—Plans are underway for Fayette History Day, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 12 at the Fayette Opera House.
Several senior citizens will be honored: Dr. Robert and Ruth Nyce, Kenneth Cooley, Eileen Woodard, Jane and Wilburn Brawley, William Steinem, Eleanor Myers, and John and Wanda Bacon.
The David Loffer collection of photos and documents about Fayette, purchased at the Loffer auction last spring will be available to the public to view.
A DVD made of "Woody" Hibbard, reminiscing about the Fayette community during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, will be shown throughout the day. The video celebrating Fayette's 125th anniversary will also be shown.
Lunch provided by the Fine Arts Council will be on sale and cake and punch will be served in celebration.
Kathy Fix has compiled "A Comprehensive Timeline of Historical Fayette" that includes many photos from Fayette's past. She will sell copies of the book and the price will probably be about $20. A signup sheet will be available at Fayette History Day. All of the proceeds from the book are to be shared by three Fayette entities: the Fayette Historical Society, to commission local artist Rebecca Glasgow Loveless, to paint and display scenes from Fayette's past; the Fayette Fine Arts Council for the needs of the historic Fayette Opera House facility/programs; and Fayette Normal Memorial Public Library.
Fayette History Day displays will be presented by Jane Stiriz, Jim Fallon, Curt Cooley, Randy Scott and Kathy Fix, and anyone else who has items to share.
To reserve a table for an exhibit, call Kathy at 419/237-2418.

The Final Core AR!Living Greyhawk Campaign Newsby Creighton Broadhurst
Final Core AR Download
Over the last eight years, the Living Greyhawk campaign has produced more than 150 core adventures and over a dozen special events. Many of the plots presented in those adventures have been fully revealed, while others provided tantalizing AR entries that hinted at greater things for the successful (or lucky) adventurer. However, as the campaign draws to a close, it is time for your character to settle down and at least partially retire. The life of an adventurer is peril-filled and full of excitement, but eventually it must come to an end; even the wildest, most daring warrior, eventually tires of the constant battles and pursuit of glory.
That's why the core team has developed a finale adventure record for your character! Download it and take a look at the final AR entries that your character could earn. The AR presents several final fates which you can pick for your character (as long as the requirements for the AR item in question are met). Each character can only choose one AR item from this final AR, and the AR must be the final one in that character's stack.
The campaign's not over yet, though. You've got six adventure-filled months of danger, thrills, and spills left before the allure of retirement proves too much for you character. So grab your sword, heft your shield, and ready your spells – great events have yet to still unfold in the Flanaess and as always heroes are needed to stem the rising tide of darkness!

Some twilight and some night games.
Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland said that the deal with FOX SPORTS was a fantastic result for cricket.
Cricket Australia is committed to taking the game to as many Australians as possible and the new telecasting deal with FOX SPORTS will assist us with this goal, he said.
Our domestic cricket competitions are universally regarded as the strongest domestic competitions in world cricket and were delighted that FOX SPORTS will be making these products available to its growing subscription base. Foxs comprehensive cricket coverage over the coming summers is a must for all Australian cricket fans, said Mr Sutherland.
FOX SPORTS Chief Executive David Malone said the new partnership is good news for the game and its fans.
The domestic one-day competition is set to receive the most live coverage ever, and fans will soon have access to more cricket than ever before, he said.
We are thrilled to be part of this historic agreement with Cricket Australia, and I thank James Sutherland and his team for the work they have put in and the foresight they have shown.
FOX SPORTS has been working towards achieving this type of involvement with cricket in Australia for some time, and this new deal helps us move further forward in our commitment to live coverage of Australian sport, said Mr Malone.
Mr Sutherland also said that Cricket Australia was working towards securing a new sponsor for the domestic one-day competition and domestic Twenty20 competition.
Our domestic one-day competition is a highly attractive property for sponsors to align themselves with said Mr Sutherland.
It is the first time the naming rights to this competition have been available for 14 years so it is not an opportunity that comes along too frequently, he said.

Beyonce Knowles $4 Million Charity Donation
By Admin Published: January 4, 2009
Beyonce Knowles has made a $4 million donation to the Phoenix House rehabilitation charity.
Knowles visited the charity last year to research her role as Etta James (a Grammy Award winning singer who struggled through a life of addiction) in Cadillac Records, and was moved to tears after hearing the life stories of the reforming women there.
Now Beyonce Knowles has gone the extra mile for the centre, really putting her money where her mouth is, donating her entire salary from the film to the Phoenix House charity.

DeMario Jackson is finally speaking out about the "Bachelor in Paradise" scandal.
Following production being shut down on the ABC reality spinoff's fourth season due to "allegations of misconduct," Jackson, one of the contestants at the center of the incident under investigation along with Corinne Olympios, is breaking his silence in an exclusive statement provided to E! News.
"It's unfortunate that my character and family name has been assassinated this past week with false claims and malicious allegations," the 30-year-old said in a statement. "I will be taking swift and appropriate legal action until my name is cleared and, per the advice of legal counsel, will be seeking all available remedies entitled to me under the laws."
U.S. & World
Reality Shows Canceled Due to Controversy
On June 11, Warner Bros. confirmed to E! News that production had been shut down on the Mexico set of "Bachelor in Paradise" after a producer filed a complaint questioning whether Olympios was able to give consent for a sexual encounter with Jackson.
On Wednesday, Olympios broke her silence, issuing a statement about the incident after hiring high-powered Hollywood attorney, Marty Singer.
"I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened the night of June 4," she said. "Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production."
Corinne Olympios Breaks Her Silence on Bachelor in Paradise Allegations, Hires High-Powered Attorney
Olympios' statement continued, "As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality. As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening."
Warner Bros. issued a statement about their investigation into the allegations, saying, "We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. We have suspended production and we are conducting a thorough investigation of these allegations. Once the investigation is complete, we will take appropriate responsive action."

Joe Mackall has lived surrounded by the Swartzentruber Amish community of Ashland County, Ohio, for over sixteen years. They are the most traditional and insular of all the Amish sects: the Swartzentrubers live without gas, electricity, or indoor plumbing; without lights on their buggies or cushioned chairs in their homes; and without rumspringa, the recently popularized "running-around time" that some Amish sects allow their sixteen-year-olds. Over the years, Mackall has developed a steady relationship with the Shetler family (Samuel and Mary, their nine children, and their extended family). Plain Secrets tells the Shetlers' story over these years, using their lives to paint a portrait of Swartzentruber Amish life and mores. During this time, Samuel's nephew Jonas finally rejects the strictures of the Amish way of life for good, after two failed attempts to leave, and his bright young daughter reaches the end of school for Amish children: the eighth grade. But Plain Secrets is also the story of the unusual friendship between Samuel and Joe. Samuel is quietly bemused-and, one suspects, secretly delighted-at Joe's ignorance of crops and planting, carpentry and cattle. He knows Joe is planning to write a book about the family, and yet he allows him a glimpse of the tensions inside this intensely private community. These and other stories from the life of the family reveal the larger questions posed by the Amish way of life. If the continued existence of the Amish in the midst of modern society asks us to consider the appeal of traditional, highly restrictive, and gendered religious communities, it also asks how we romanticize or condemn these communities-and why. Mackall's attempt to parse these questions-to write as honestly as possible about what he has seen of Amish life-tests his relationship with Samuel and reveals the limits of a friendship between "English" and Amish.

JJ looks at what it will take to land Adam Dunn:
Granted, getting Dunn would probably mean parting with one good prospect and another marginal one. Cowley points out that Brent Morel isn't a fit with Washington thanks to Ryan Zimmerman, but I have to wonder if Dayan Viciedo would interest the Nats. Viciedo should ultimately will end up a first baseman, and while the Nationals do have a first base prospect in Double-A, Viciedo could provide a more immediate impact.
The elephant in the room is Dan Hudson, who I would hate to see the Sox trade for a half-year rental player. In fact, there really aren't a whole lot of circumstances in which I'd be okay with the Sox trading Hudson.
Kenny, you screwed up. If you had not listen to Ozzie and signed Jim Thome in the off-season, you wouldn't be in a situation where you have to give up 6 years of Dan Hudson (or Flowers) for 2-3 months of Adam Dunn. And what did Big Jim sign for? $1.5 million. You gave $1.5 million to Mark Kotsay. Hell, you gave $14 million to Mark Teahen. Losing Dan Hudson for $1.5 million. That would suck…

Update: "Cynthia" is the winner of $100 in Juice Beauty products! Congrats and check your email.
Cynthia's winning comment said: "I tend to get dry spots on my face, so I would love to try the oil free moisturizer. I can't stand it when moisturizer is so oily it causes me to get breakouts."

This blog is obviously all about avoiding processed food, but I also occasionally get questions about house cleaning products and beauty products as well. Did you know that your body absorbs over 60% of what is applied to your skin? So personal care and beauty products are just as important to address as what you're putting in your body! And just in time to do some "Spring Cleaning" to your beauty routine a fabulous company, Juice Beauty, is back on the blog today. They are here to give away a $100 gift certificate to their website and to also share a special offer and coupon code for all readers! See below for details.
–> $100 Gift Certificate to http://www.juicebeauty.com/
A little more about Juice Beauty products:
Juice Beauty offers highly effective, authentically organic skincare products, so your daily beauty regimen can be as green and clean as the rest of your life! One of the things I love about Juice Beauty is that they use a high percentage of organic ingredients. Juice Beauty products are made with up to 98% USDA certified organic content. Instead of the typical water-base that most natural skincare brands use (that just dilutes the active ingredients), Juice Beauty products have an organic fruit juice base that is naturally loaded with antioxidants, essential vitamins and phytonutrients – it's literally feeding your skin!
The company was founded by a fellow mommy, Karen Behnke, who like many of us, became increasingly concerned about everything she put in and on her body when she was pregnant with her first child. Her goal was to create a line of authentically organic, highly effective skincare products that were both healthy and enjoyable to use. Thus, Juice Beauty was born!
Juice Beauty is made with the purest, most effective organic ingredients, including organic juices, aloe vera, botanicals, plant oils, and raw cane sugar from farms that specialize in sustainable and organic farming. All products are made without parabens, petroleum, propylene or butylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, DEA, TEA, pesticides, phthalates, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances.
Special Offer for All Readers
FREE Green Apply Hydration Mask – full size! – with any purchase of $40 or more + FREE SHIPPING. It's a luxurious, moisture-rich mask that contains a blend of brightening hydroxy-acids from certified organic apple, grape and lemon juices as well as an age-defying antioxidant cocktail of firming peptides, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin C for a smooth, replenished complexion.

Your long struggle is now over, EVE Online players, as CCP gears up for the November 29 release of its 15th free expansion, Crucible, returning your beloved spaceships to spinning in stations status following a brief period of madness.
Having been playing EVE Online myself while no one was looking, I can attest to the fact that Crucible is the greatest free expansion yet. No longer will we be forced to stare at our silly new avatars standing in a room while docked at a space station. Instead, we'll be able to switch between the captain's quarters and the old spinning ship animation. It's like having an old friend return after you watched them get run over by a steamroller and set on fire.
For those of you that love the new captain's quarters, CCP is introducing a series of themed rooms so that the quarters matches the station you're docked in, rather than having them all be the same as they are now. Awesome.
And hey, Eve Sans Neue! That's a brand-new font that will make the user interface legible for the first time since the game launched.
All this plus new player-designed ships, balance enhancement, time dilation for large scale battles, and much, much more! Now how much would you pay!? Who cares, it's free!
Hit up the official Crucible page for more details on the exciting changes coming November 29. I need to catch my breath.

Safariland® Releases New Popular Gun Fits for its Range Series Holsters
ONTARIO, California – Safariland® announced Thursday that it has released three additional fits in the Range Series, one of its newest holster collections.

Back To Heroes
Dick O'Brien was Harley-Davidson's highly successful racing manager from 1957 to 1983. Under O'Brien's direction, Harley-Davidson factory riders won 16 AMA Grand National Championships. He also oversaw the development of the Harley-Davidson XR750, which became the most successful racing motorcycle ever to turn a wheel on the dirt-track ovals of America. In addition to dirt-track and road racing, O'Brien also directed diverse Harley-Davidson racing programs such as motocross, desert racing, and land-speed record attempts.
O'Brien was born in New York on July 8, 1921, and was raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. As a boy, he began learning how to work on motors by watching older kids in the neighborhood who already owned cars. As a teenager, he sold fruit and picked up odd jobs and was able to scrounge up enough to buy an old junker car and, later, a motorcycle. He learned to work on cars and bikes at an early age and quickly earned a reputation as a top-notch mechanic.
Not content to just work on the motors, O'Brien took up racing and became quite good in sprint cars. For a time he also dabbled in racing motorcycles on half-mile and mile dirt ovals in Florida. But his real talent was making the bikes faster. O'Brien went to work for Puckett Motors Harley-Davidson dealership in Orlando. The shop was heavily involved in racing and O'Brien's reputation grew as motorcycles he built won numerous races across the South.
In 1957, Harley's racing manager, Hank Syvertsen, who had been with Harley-Davidson's racing department since the 1920s, hired O'Brien, and when Syvertsen retired later that year, O'Brien was made the head of racing. O'Brien didn't let the change of climate from Florida to Milwaukee bother him. "I just wore warmer clothes and still rode my motorcycle year-round," O'Brien said proudly.
In the face of heavy competition, primarily from the British-made BSA and Triumph teams, Harley-Davidson dominated the late-1950s and early-1960s AMA Grand National Series with Carroll Resweber. O'Brien said that of all the riders who rode for Harley-Davidson, he felt that Resweber may have been the most talented. "He could do it all – on miles, half-miles, TTs and road racing," remembers O'Brien. "Resweber would try things that other riders would never attempt."
With riders such as Dick Mann, Gary Nixon, and Kenny Roberts, the British and Japanese factory teams were overtaking Harley-Davidson, at first on the road courses and then even on the dirt tracks, which had been Harley's domain for the better part of 50 years. The company needed to improve on its venerable KR racers, and in the early-1970s, Harley-Davidson launched its new XR750 motor.
The new engine went through several years of teething problems, but under O'Brien's direction the XR was progressively improved and gradually grew to be a consistent winner. By the mid-1970s, Harley-Davidson was again atop the AMA Grand National Series and the XR750-based racing machines would go on to become the winningest dirt track motorcycle in the history of the series.
O'Brien, known as OB to friends, is described by those who worked with him as somewhat cantankerous, smart and determined. He always sported his trademark black and orange Harley-Davidson clothing at the races and, despite his hatred of losing, was gracious in defeat. In 1968, the Harley team suffered a disheartening and unexpected loss of the title at the last event of the season at Ascot Park. A Motorcyclist magazine article said that Harley-Davidson factory rider Freddie Nix was reduced to tears by the loss, but O'Brien, face impassive, simply said, "Damn, I would have liked to have had that sonofabitch," meaning the championship, then walked over and was one of the first to congratulate new champ, Gary Nixon.
O'Brien oversaw Harley-Davidson's motocross and desert racing programs, though he rarely attended those events, leaving the day-to-day management of those series to subordinates. In 1970, O'Brien coaxed another of his favorite riders, Cal Rayborn, into climbing inside the streamlined Harley-Davidson land-speed entry at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. After suffering several high-speed crashes, Rayborn broke through and earned Harley-Davidson a new land-speed record of 265.492 mph.
O'Brien retired from Harley-Davidson in 1983. He went on to work for 11 years developing winning engines in NASCAR before retiring to his native Florida in the mid-1990s.
Of all his racing memories, O'Brien says that the 1968 Daytona 200 was one that stands out. That year, facing the onslaught of both British and Japanese factory racing teams, the Harley-Davidson squad breathed new life into the old KR design and came out and dominated Bike Week.
"That first lap, when the top six Harley's came around the banking with a big lead on the rest of the field, that image will always be with me," O'Brien fondly recalls. "Cal (Rayborn) went on to win that race by a lap and a half and was the first to average over 100 mph for the race."
Dick wasn't the only one from the O'Brien clan to make a mark in racing. His brother, Jess, helped form the Battle of the Twins racing class and his daughter, Patty, was a co-founder of the WERA road racing organization.

Favorite Sociology Course? Environmental Sociology - I never thought I would ever be interested in environmental issues, but approaching it from a sociological perspective made it accessible and approachable.
Why I Majored in Sociology? Quite simply, I fell in love with Sociology 101 and never looked back.
Sociology Thesis
Gender, Intimacy & the Body: Culture Values and the Rise of the "Hook-up"
My senior capstone examines how cultural values and gender roles shape modern society's idea and perception of the body, and how these perceptions affect today's definition of intimacy. I'm examining college hookups as a specific example of these social processes.

The WipeoutZone forums are a place for discussion on all things Wipeout and on any given subject in the General discussion board.
If you're a new member, take the time to look around before posting. Posting a duplicate topic to one that has been answered or discussed recently does not go down too well with existing members - you'll understand that in a couple of months yourself.
- Try to make sure you're posting in the right board - it saves the admins having to move topics around.
- Always show respect for other members - we all have one thing in common regardless of other differences.
- Sending of abusive Private Messages is NOT allowed and will result in a ban.
- Try to avoid pointless bickering or name calling. There are bound to be people out there who disagree with you - the world would be a very dull place if we all loved FEISAR. Flame wars wont be tolerated on WipEoutZone and any posts deemed to be flaming will be deleted.
- Avoid starting topics like "What's your favourite track?" - these have all been done to death so many times before. A better topic would be "My favourite track is Stanza Inter - what do you think of it?" - this leads the discussion.
- While it is ok to advertise your own site, it is not cool to spam the board with adverts for your site - they'll be deleted. Same goes for manually adding signatures to the foot of your posts - they're disabled to help keep the board clean and readable.
- Don't post images > 50k in size - use the attachment system or post a link to them instead so that folk on a slow connection or viewing the board with a mobile device can at least make a choice of whether to view them or not. Do not post a series of small images if the total size of all images is more than 50 Kilobytes - it's better to post one and add the rest as attachments or links.
- If you intend to share video files, you may use the embed function. However, please only embed one video at a time. If you intend to share more than one video at once, provide links to the rest.
- Quote only that part of a post that you are replying to. If you reply to the post that is just ahead of your reply, do not quote at all, unless the replied-to post is very large, and you are commenting only on a small part of it, and you need to quote in order to make clear what you are commenting on. The purpose of these quotation rules is to avoid confusing clutter on the page so that it can be more quickly and easily read.
- Please do not discuss pirate software/media on this board - there are places for that kind of thing and this isn't one of them.

What do you think of the pavilion going up at the east end of the Downtown Mall?
Robert Hobart: "I don't think one way or the other. I doubt I'll go to any shows."
Ralph Walke: "They just put the old one in– it hasn't even been a decade! It was beautiful. Now, I don't even know what they're doing down there. I guess it'll be alright if they make it for multi-purpose. Fridays After Five is a great thing. You want to know what I just did? Rode my bike here from Michigan!"
Jessi Giannini: "I think it's kind of a waste of money. There are a lot of other things this town needs besides a bigger amphitheater."

SKF EAZ induction heaters
Quick dismounting of cylindrical roller bearings
When dismounting the EAZ heats the inner rings evenly by inducing eddy currents while the roll neck remains cold. This helps prevent damage to shafts and inner rings, which often occurs when other methods such as heating with gas burners are used. Additional benefits include:
- Reduced man-hours
- Reduced downtime
- Minimize risk of inner ring damage
- Reduce spares inventory

The fastest-growing economy in the world today is that of China. For many on the left, the Chinese economy seems to provide an alternative model of development to that of neoliberal globalization. Although it is a disputed question whether the Chinese economy can be still described as socialist, there is no doubting the importance for the global project of socialism of accurately interpreting and soberly assessing its real prospects.
Hart-Landsberg and Burkett's China and Socialism argues that market reforms in China are leading inexorably toward a capitalist and foreign-dominated development path, with enormous social and political costs, both domestically and internationally. The rapid economic growth that accompanied these market reforms have not been due to efficiency gains, but rather to deliberate erosion of the infrastructure that made possible a remarkable degree of equality. The transition to the market has been based on rising unemployment, intensified exploitation, declining health and education services, exploding government debt, and unstable prices.
At the same time, China's economic transformation has intensified the contradictions of capitalist development in other countries, especially in East Asia. Far from being a model that is replicable in other Third World countries, China today is a reminder of the need for socialism to be built from the grassroots up, through class struggle and international solidarity.
Hart-Landsberg and Burkett present an insightful analysis of the internal and external contradictions of Chinese capitalism. They convincingly argue that the Chinese experiment of market socialism has led to nothing less than full-fledged capitalism exactly as classical Marxist theory would have predicted. China and Socialism will prove to be one of the most important contributions to the Marxist literature on contemporary China.
A work that strips away the myth that Chinese socialism survives in the midst of unrestrained capitalist practices.

Equipment allowed in eight reservoirs; special permit required
PRATT — Now in the last of a three-year pilot program, the Kansas floatline fishing season begins July 15 and runs through Sept. 15. The season is open at eight Kansas reservoirs: Hillsdale, Council Grove, Tuttle Creek, Kanopolis, John Redmond, Toronto, Wilson, and Pomona. During this time, anglers will be allowed to use floatlines from sunrise to sunset only.
Floatline fishing, sometimes called "jug fishing," allows Kansas anglers to use no more than eight free floating floatlines with no more than two hooks attached to each line. A floatline permit (available for $2.50) is required, enabling Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) staff to survey floatline anglers to monitor participation. A valid Kansas fishing license is also required, unless exempt by law. During this season, anglers are allowed to use eight floatlines or eight setlines, but not both. In addition to floatlines, an angler may fish with two poles, or three poles if a $6.50 three-pole permit is purchased.
All floatlines must be under immediate supervision of the angler and must be removed from the water when fishing ceases. As with setlines, floatlines must be tagged with the owner's name and address. Materials used for floats are restricted to "closed cell" devices made of solid plastic, wood, or foam; metal, glass or any other hollow material is not allowed. Closed-cell floats are required because they do not hold water and are less likely to spread zebra mussels or other aquatic nuisance species.
At the end of this year's season, participation and results of the floatline fishing season will be evaluated, and KDWPT staff will make recommendations to the Commission on whether to continue the program as is, expand it, or revoke it.
For more information, consult the 2011 Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary, available where licenses are sold or online at www.kdwpt.state.ks.us.
