A Mount Eden teen reported missing has been located and returned to her family, according to the Spencer County Sheriff's office.
Few details are currently known regarding the case, but a call to the sheriff's office Friday confirmed that the girl had been located and returned to her father, John Ray, in Mount Eden.
Spencer County Sheriff Donald "Buddy" Stump was out of the office until Monday and Anderson County Sheriff's Deputies that worked the case as well were not in the office until Monday, either. A call to Ray's home has also not been returned.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office joined the search Wednesday for the girl who apparently took off with a 19-year-old man, Ray said.
The location of the phone signal was deep in a river bottom area off Anderson City Road that is inaccessible by vehicle. As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the sheriff's office was seen bringing in ATVs in an effort to access the area.
Ray said he used a game system to "ping" the 19-year-old's cell phone. He said by the time deputies began their search, a laptop computer he was carrying showed that the phone was in Ohio.
Ray said witnesses saw his daughter with the 19-year-old loading her clothes into the man's car early Monday morning. He said the girl took $1,700 in cash out of the house and took off.
"I don't care about the money," he said, adding that his daughter left her cell phone at home. "I'm just out here trying to find her."
Ray said he had only met the 19-year-old recently and that he lied about his age.
"When I found out I told them they could just be friends," he said. "They've been running around, but they're not supposed to be."
Ray said his daughter's disappearance has been particularly hard on his family.
"My wife's just sitting at home, staring at the walls," he said. "She's totally whacked."
Ray said the Spencer County Sheriff's Office has filed an all points bulletin on his daughter, and has an order for custodial interference against the 19-year-old. Orders have also been issued, he said, against his daughter for theft and for being a runaway.
The Spencer County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Ray filed a missing persons report on Monday, but because Ray's daughter is a juvenile, the report cannot be released.
Just because a juvenile is missing doesn't mean an amber alert would be issued. There are certain guidelines to issue an amber alert, according to AmberAlert.gov, including an abduction confirmed by law enforcement and the risk of serious bodily harm or death.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website, there are no active amber alerts in Kentucky at this time.

In a bygone era, giants roamed the north woods. As loggers tamed the forests of Minnesota and Wisconsin, one man stood above the rest. Some say Paul Bunyan was born with a full beard and wore a grown man's flannel before he was a week old. As he grew, Paul found the great outdoors were the only place expansive enough to call home. While out for a stroll one January day, he came upon a baby ox frozen solid in a block of ice, its hide turned blue from the cold. Paul expertly chipped the ice away with his ax. In those days winters were so cold your words froze as they left your mouth. Yet Paul thawed the young creature with a single breath and brought him back to life. Paul named him Babe and from then on the two were inseparable. They lived their lives one adventure to the next , the evidence of which is still seen today. Their footsteps were imprinted throughout Northern Minnesota filled with rainwater to give our home state the much deserved moniker "Land of 10,000 Lakes." For this, we at Sanborn are eternally grateful.
This design is painted on our Voyageur Heritage Paddle. With an elegantly traditional blade shape these are graceful in and out of the water. They're perfect for lazy turns around the lake or for gracing the wall of your cabin. Each is a laminated combination of western red cedar, aspen and black walnut.

CABIN CRUISER CLASS: While not recommended for the rigors of extended wilderness trips, since they don't have fiberglass reinforced blades or epoxy tip guards, they are great for cruising around the lake on day trips or gracing your cabin's wall. These paddles are a combination of hardwood and Western Red Cedar laminated together and have a heavy varnish finish.
WILDERNESS CLASS I: The defining feature of this class is that all the paddles are extremely lightweight. Every paddle in this class is made entirely of Western Red Cedar. Each blade is fiber-glassed and attached with an epoxy blade tip to ward off inadvertent rock swipes. While these are cream-of-the-crop in the weight department, they are mid-level wilderness paddles as far as durability goes. While hearty enough for any wilderness trip, some care while prying/twisting on rocks is recommended. And cedar is a soft wood so keep rubbing along the gunwales to a minimum. The moral of the story is this - lightweight and quite durable, but some care while paddling is required.
WILDERNESS CLASS II: The paddles in this class are destined to be paddled deep into canoe country on extended wilderness canoe trips. Each is a combination of Western Red Cedar with various hardwoods added for extra strength and durability. Each shaft is edged in hardwood to protect against damage from rubbing along the gunwales. The blades are reinforced with fiber-glass and attached with an epoxy blade tip to ward off inadvertent rock swipes. In other words, these are on the top shelf in our library, filed under durable.

This summer we moved into a little home of our own, after living with my parents for the past few years, and I've caught the decorating bug bad. I've never been much into decorating. I think because we've always rented & I've always felt like we didn't have the extra funds for it. And even though we are still renting now, I feel so much a desire to make our space beautiful & comfortable & nice.
In our living room, I knew that curtains would make a big impact for a small price. I'd seen a few DIY painted curtains on pinterest & loved the look of big stripes! So I bought a canvas drop cloth & picked out a nice mustard yellow paint color at the home improvement store & set out to get these curtains made!
I measured my panels & cut them down leaving one side on the drop cloth hem intact (less sewing later). Then I measured my stripes (mine are 10 inches tall) & then taped them off. Next step was painting. This took more time & paint then I originally thought. But a few days of work during school & nap time & they were done. The material sucks up a lot of paint, but it is also really easy to get nice clean lines on the canvas. I ended up using about one quart of paint on these curtain panels.
For the unfinished edges of the curtain, I just folded them under & ran them through my sewing machine. I would suggest doing this before you paint as you won't want to use your hot iron on the painted sections. I painted first, but luckily the canvas folds over really easily & it wasn't difficult to hem without ironing. You could also just hot glue the hems if you didn't want to sew.
These curtains took more time to make than I expected, but it was totally worth it! I spent about $35 to make them & I got the exact look that I wanted. I love them!

Dori and Dan Schaupp married 37 years ago and have had vegetable garden every year. At their home at 1310 Crestfield Drive, they faced a challenge. The backyard retained water when it rained and became marshy, making gardening next to impossible. Their solution was to create raised garden beds.
In 2004, they began with four raised beds with mainly vegetables and a small space for herbs. Over the years the number of beds has grown.
What exactly am I eating?

Sue and Michael Mangum have lived at 136 Evergreen Road for the last 20 years. During this time they have enjoyed keeping their yard well-manicured, neat and full of seasonal blooms. Until now, little did they know that others admired their yard, too. They received an unprecedented five nominations for Yard of the Month recently.
After learning of these nominations and viewing the yard herself, Elaine Atkins with Leaf and Petal Garden Club agreed and selected the Mangums' yard as the June Yard of the Month.
Recently chicken was on sale at the grocery store so I stocked up. Each time I open my freezer, though, I realize I may have gone a bit overboard.
I need to clear some space, so we're having chicken this week in my house. But I'm not worried about everyone getting bored, because there are so many delicious chicken recipes.
I love chicken salad and Stacey Vadas' Fabulous Chicken Salad.

cording to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a dream is defined as a visionary creation of the imagination. Every person has a different dream or a hope for a miracle to take place. I have a dream that special needs students will not only be accepted, but valued in society.
The struggles of the first battles are over. The soldiers who fought them are now safely home. They can dream of doing things they once did…but for some, it will only be a dream.
These soldiers have returned scarred and disabled. The next battle, much harder and longer than the first, is just beginning. The disabled soldiers will need the committed love and help of others to endure their struggle.
Those who choose to care for them are angels in our presence. These angels are real. This is one such story. It is true.

GREAT FALLS – For the first time in his life, Henry "Bubba" Stevenson Jr. can offer a handshake. But it's not your everyday handshake – it's bionic.
Stevenson, 23, was fitted with a "1-limb ultra bionic arm" on Sept. 22.
Stevenson was born without arms. On his right side, his arm stops shy of his elbow and on his left side, there is only a nub below his shoulder.

Tucked away in the new subdivision College Place, John and Audrey Hadvab found just the right setting for their home seven years ago. As their home evolved so did their yard.
Working with a landscape designer, they developed a plan filled with low maintenance shrubs and trees. Even after seven years of growth the shrubs, along with perennials they have added, through the years still create a beautiful look.
Today I am going to include four card exercises for men and women, because at some point in our training we all fall short of understanding how important it is.
Most reasons are the same, universal excuses we all use.

The place was wonderful! We arrived as a family group with a small dog - my parents are 80 and we are in our 50's and we all felt very welcome and at home. Our little dog also had a great time and made friends with the resident spaniel!. We were offered a glass of wine on arrival and had a delicious breakfast - we would go out of our way to stay here again.

After a long flight from New York City followed by a hectic drive from CDG airport, in Paris, we arrived early evening to the warmest of welcomes from Patrick and Shaun, each of whom immediately refueled us with liquid refreshments and hilarious conversation before guiding us to an excellent eatery nearby that provided some nourishing local fare. We quickly formed a strong bond with our hosts and chatted late into the evening before retiring to our super king size bed in the main suite upstairs. After a comfortable night's sleep, we awoke the following morning and came down to the elegant dining room to a bountiful breakfast, replete with excellent coffee, pain au chocolat, and fresh croissants served with a selection of Shaun's delicious homemade jams. Sadly, our itinerary was such that we were only able to stay one night at their beautiful house, as we were committed to getting to Vendoire by midday, but we are firmly resolved to return some day and for sure arrange a much longer visit, thus giving ourselves the opportunity to explore the nearby chateaus and vineyards...and spend more time in the company of our warmhearted and hospitable hosts, to boot. Thank you, Patrick and Shaun, for furnishing us with such sumptuous accommodations for our first BnB experience in France, and for initiating what I predict will prove to be a long lasting friendship between us all.

We have just returned from our first visit to the Loire Valley in France and what a fantastic week we had, mainly down to the hospitality and friendliness of Shaun and Patrick at Le Clos Rabelais. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel completely at home, with home cooked meals to die for on two of our four nights and fresh coffee, croissants and pastries each morning. Our hosts showed us plenty of interesting places to visit in the area and the village of Langeais itself is a real find - typically French with a beautiful Chateau at the top of the main street and plenty of lovely cafes, restaurants, bars and shops - we easily spent a day wandering around the village and along the shore of the Loire before heading further a field. We highly recommend the area and are already planning our next trip back to stay at Le Clos Rabelais - Jackie & Richard

As enchanting as is the Langeais/Loire Valley, the real reason to stay at Clos Rabelais is the hospitality. From the moment Shaun and his dogs welcome you and invite you in for glass of wine, you know you're in a very special B&B. Shaun goes out of his way to make sure you're not only comfortable, but thoroughly entertained. After a day of visiting castles and gardens, we relished the opportunity to socialize with other guests and Shaun and his staff offered a delightful sitdown meal one night that enabled us to leave town with great friendships. Highly recommended!

Staying with Shaun was one of the best decisions we could have made. The experience, the room, the entire B&B were all perfect. When we needed to leave earlier than the normal breakfast time, they had a tray brought up to the room the evening before to make sure we had something (incredibly delicious) to eat in the morning. The place was incredibly clean and smelled wonderful. We stayed in the garden room, which was nice and out of the way, although doesn't have wifi in room, which was slightly disappointing. Overall, they get a 5/5 without a doubt.

Our visit to the Loire valley was enhanced by a lovely stay at Clos Rabelais. We arrived on the night of May 19 and departed on May 21. The comfortable ambiance, and charming commodious chamber were a wonderful treat for weary travelers. Shaun was the epitome of the gracious host....presenting each guest with the cordiality befit a friend as well as a delicious and generous petit-dejeuner. The maison is presented with casual elegance combined with antiques and all the modern amenities. We would highly recommend a visit and will return again. Robert and Stephen

What shall I say, Shaun is a great host. We were greeted like old friends,a few beers ans glasses of wine. It feels like home. The B&B is well positioned only a few minuts from the centre . beautiful rooms, a very good, breakfast and what a hospitality ! Shaun keep your sense of humor for our next visit. Greeting, Hannie and Theo van Dijck

Gat location. Walking distance to Langeais with its chateau. Lots to do near by including Villandry. It is clear that Patrick and Shaun love running a B&B because there are all sorts of thoughtful touches that make guests feel at home. The rooms are beautifully finished and every comfort provided. There is a fabulous room with a T V where guests can relax and courtyard where we ate dinner under a Kiwi vine. Shaun was a great host and we would highly recommend Le Clos Rebelais.

When we arrived we were greeted like old friends, a brief chat, a glass of wine and a sense of comfort that gives you your own home. The rooms, with the only handicap of bringing the suitcases up the steep ladder, are wonderful and have surprising details that add value to the experience. The treatment was great and makes the stay seem short. Also, Langeais is a lovely village and has plenty of photogenic places.

We were welcomed with a glass of wine to relax on the patio byShaun, the quintessential British host in the French Chateau city of Langeais! The climb to our suite was challenging, but the reward once we arrived was worth the trip, complete with water chiling in the fridge and Chocotate too! We dined with another couple also staying at Le Clos and found much in common to share, making a delightful stay even moreso with good conversation, delicious food and a convivial host/chef. This is a find and the Chateau Langeais is incredible.

Shaun is fun and easy to be around, but has a wry sense of humor that may not be for everyone. He is well informed about the area and has been to all the places he recommended to us. The dogs are great and added a warm feeling to an already welcoming household. We had a fabulous time in the area, despite some inclement weather; and found the B&B well situated for all of our adventures. We would stay again. Thanks for making us feel welcome and accommodating our daughter so easily.

We stayed at Le Clos Rabelais for 6 nights and Shaun made us as welcome on the last day as on the first. This is a great base from which to see the sights of the Loire valley and surrounding area, and we were surprised that many guests only stayed one night on their way through. The major road network is very accessible but there are lots of country lanes as well, and so little traffic! It was great to be able to bring in bread and pate (and wine) for light meals - many B&Bs don't provide so much as a plate for your own food. We especially liked the dogs and the kiwi fruit growing on the vine. We will certainly be staying at Le Clos Rabelais if we are visiting the area again.

My wife and daughter and I had a superb time with Shaun. No trouble was too much for him. The dogs were SO friendly, and my daughter loved chasing the baby lizards.

Had two wonderful nights with Shaun,from the moment we had our first glass of wine in his beautiful garden I knew I was at home.The best house party I have been to this year,if ever I am in the area I will definitely stay with Shaun.Request the garden room ,you will not be disappointed.

It was such a lovely B&B that we went and stayed there again. both Shaun and Patrick made us feel so welcome and the rooms excellently appointed. Our first visit was for 2 nights and as we had such a great stay we booked again several months later and were not disappointed at all. We have now bought in the region and class Shaun and Patrick as our good friends.
5 on June 16, 2011
Having booked our stay with Patrick over the web we already had a good feeling about our proposed stay, needless to say we were not disapointed. After being greeted by both Shaun and Patrick and several glasses of the pink stuff we knew that we had made a good choice. On our second day after some local site seeing and visits to Chateaux's we were invited to an evening meal with Shaun, Patrick and our other new aquaintances staying at Le Clos Rabelais, a great time was had by all and much pink stuff consumed. In fact after visiting friends in La Rochelle and the weather still doing its worst (overcast and rain) we rebooked with Shaun for two more nights on the way home and a great time was had by all. We will deffinitley be returning to France and the Loire, and staying with Shaun and Patrick.

Shaun has done a terrific job at this B&B. Each bedroom is huge and well-furnished, the beds are very comfortable, and all sorts of little touches add up to one wonderful package. He is fully wired, with internet computer services and internet television - allowing you to watch various stations world-wide. His staff is very helpful, and he can provide ideas and services to make your stay in the Loire Valley a perfect experience. Whenever I return to this region, I'm staying here again!

My daughter and I arrived in Langeais just before Christmas, rain-soaked and sick with bad colds. Thank goodness we had booked a room in this beautiful B&B, where we were welcomed with much warmth and comfort and lots of pampering. We were truly made to feel at home and well taken care of by Shaun, who was cheerful and attentive without being intrusive. The breakfasts were luscious and on Christmas morning, Shaun made us a special dish that was delicious and way above and beyond the call of duty. By the time we left 5 days later, we were well on our way to recovery. My daughter has decided Langeais is her favorite place in France! I only hope our kind and helpful host made a speedy recovery from the cold we left him with.

I well remember staying in a B&B where there was no hospitailty, where we were locked out between 10am & 5pm (and 'don't get back after 10pm because the door will be locked'!) and the landlady constantly gave us 'looks' that made us feel as if we had imposed again! Well, right at the other end of the spectrum is Shaun's place Le Clos Rabelais!! From the moment we arrived it was as if we had been welcomed into his home. Our children (10 & 8) felt at home and we didn't feel on edge as they played with the dogs, watched TV and listened to music as we tasted some local wine! On our last evening (we were only stayed for 3 but it seemed as if we lived there) Shaun put himself out to create a night to remember - the food was excellent, company was great and the wine was abundant! Of course we were chilled (we were on holiday after all) and the weather was good and the setting is wonderful but it is for the warmth of genuine friendship that we will remember our time at Le Clos. We look forward to a return and hopefully meet Patrick.

Le Clos Rabelais is a unique bed and breakfast which we highly recommend to anyone travelling to Langeais. Shaun and Patrick are extremely friendly and made us feel instantly welcome. Our stay with them was the highlight of our European holiday. The location is excellent. It is only a short stroll into the charming village of Langeais where you can visit the Langeais castle, visit cafes, or enjoy a walk to the Loire River. It is close to several places of interest like the Castle of Villandry and its famous Gardens, wineries, and other historical sites. One warm evening we had a picnic by the Loire river. Shaun and Patrick supplied the cheese and salmon and other goodies in the picnic basket. (How many B and B's would do that?) Kayaking down the river was another enjoyable outing. We looked forward to returning to our B and B at the end of each day,to be greeted by Shaun and Patrick and their generous offers of wine and beer and a good dose of Shaun's humour! Our last evening was very special. Shaun cooked us a delicious meal and we sat outside in their garden and ate by candlelight.There was lots of wine and lots of laughter. We would love to return one day and stay longer next time!! Thank you Shaun and Patrick. We were 4 Australians expecting the usual B and B....but we got a hec of a lot more!!!! Highly recommended.

In July 2010 we (4 people) stayed at Le Clos Rabelais. Prior emails indicated that the place was run by a friendly helpful person. It was also important for us that he spoke english as we could not communicate in french. On arrival everything turned out to be as good as his word, and we immediately felt relaxed. The rooms were fine and comfortable and the building has such an agreeable feel about it. As a destination Langeais is most impressive and has the feel of an authentic French small town. The fact the it has such an impressive Chateau - authentic in so many ways is a massive bonus. Langeais has the advantage of proximity to such a large part of the beautiful Loire Chateaux. There will always be problems planning an independent holiday in France from Australia but I definitely want to return here and will certainly encourage friends to consider Le Clos Rabelais for there stay in this area.

Sean & Patrick run a great place and can't do enough for you. It was really nice how they introduced you to other guests and created warm, cordial ambience. We'll be back. John & Anna Canada

Researchers have discovered a more effective solution to teaching sex education. A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa, the University of Toronto, and Yale University, using researchers in South America, studied the behavior and attitudes of Colombian ninth graders who took a sex education course.
Profamilia, an arm of Planned Parenthood International, provided the course at a cost of $14 per student. The study tracked 138 ninth graders from 69 public schools in 21 Colombian cities who took a semester-long course. Each day, the students spent 90 minutes in class on the computer, working through interactive modules and quizzes on topics such as pregnancy, sexual rights, contraceptives, and infections. Students could ask questions and get feedback by private communication with a remote Profamilia tutor. University of Toronto Assistant Professor, Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, explained that it can be awkward for teenagers to discuss sexual activity, so the students had an advantage in working online for this course and having access to the remote tutor. Researchers carried out a survey of baseline attitudes before the course began, one week after the course had been completed, and six months later. Students were also given vouchers for condoms six months after the course.
The results of the study showed a reduction in self-reported infections for those students who were sexually active when the course started and a 10 percent increase in condom use among students who had taken the course. The sexually active teens increased their condom use, had fewer sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and showed a greater awareness of sexually abusive situations. Gonzalez-Navarro noted that there was a significant, positive impact on sexual behavior among friend groups who had taken the course. The researchers published the study as a working paper.

BRUSSELS (AP) - The United States and its NATO allies are readying plans to pull away from the front lines in Afghanistan next year as President Barack Obama and fellow leaders try to show that the unpopular war is ending.
NATO allies insisted they are not pulling the plug early on the Afghanistan war as top military and diplomatic officials from the U.S. and NATO allies met Wednesday. The allies are finalizing a plan to shift primary responsibility for combat to Afghan forces and firming up a strategy for world support to the weak Afghan government and fledgling military after 2014.
That year is the deadline to the NATO-led war to end, although it is clear that many nations will have long since stopped any active front-line combat and some will have pulled out completely.
At the same time, the nations that have prosecuted a 10-year war against a Taliban-led insurgency are reassuring nervous Afghans they will not be left to fend for themselves.
'There is no change whatsoever in the timeline,' NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen insisted Wednesday.
The messages aimed at different audiences are both challenged by current events in Afghanistan, where insurgents staged an impressive, coordinated attack last weekend that struck at the heart of the U.S.-backed government and international enclave in Kabul. Meanwhile, Taliban leaders are boycotting peace talks the U.S. sees as the key to a safe exit.
Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance expects a bill of about $4 billion annually to sustain the Afghan fighting forces after international troops leave, which he called a 'good deal' since it is cheaper than the cost of war.
But it is not clear that several European governments have the budget or the will to keep paying. A major NATO summit in Chicago next month is expected to include a broad commitment to long-term support for the Afghan forces but no specific pledges.
The United States expects to pay much of the cost but U.S. officials say Washington cannot foot the bill alone. The United States wants nations outside NATO, such as China and Russia, to chip in, arguing that everyone has a stake in ensuring Afghanistan does not slide into chaos.
The United States acknowledges that despite progress the U.S. is not meeting its goal of drawing $1.3 billion annually from other nations to fund the Afghan armed forces.
This week's sessions are meant to stitch together U.S. and NATO agreements on the pace of U.S. and allied combat withdrawal next year. U.S. and Afghan officials have already said they expect a shift to an Afghan military lead in combat operations by the middle of 2013, although the U.S. stresses that it will still have a large number of forces in Afghanistan as backup.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said Wednesday that the Afghans are on track to take the lead in securing the country by the end of 2013. Azimi said the Afghan Army has already reached its target number of 195,000 troops. Including police and other forces, Afghan security forces now number about 330,000.
The combat shift parallels the withdrawal in Iraq, where U.S. forces pulled back from lead roles but remained in harm's way for months before a scheduled end to the war. U.S. military leaders have not submitted final proposals for how to ease nearly 70,000 troops into the back seat next year but are working against a firm deadline to end the current combat mission by 2015.
The two-day gathering is intended to clear any obstacles ahead of the conference of NATO leaders in Chicago on May 20-21. Ministers also will address the international bill for sustaining the Afghan army and police after NATO's planned withdrawal at the end of 2014 - one of the top items on the summit agenda.
The stated goal of U.S. involvement is to deter the al-Qaida terror network from again using Afghanistan as a base, but the day-to-day fighting is against some 25,000 Taliban and other mostly home-grown insurgents.
Obama also hopes to showcase a long-term security pact with Afghanistan in Chicago. U.S. and Afghan officials said they would like to sign the agreement ahead of the summit, with more specific military agreements to follow.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai raised another condition Tuesday for that long-awaited deal. He said the accord must spell out the yearly U.S. commitment to pay billions of dollars for the cash-strapped Afghan security forces.
The demand threatens to further delay the key bilateral pact and suggests that Karzai is worried that the U.S. commitment to his country is wavering.
Coalition forces, whose numbers reached a peak of over 140,000 troops last year, have already started a drawdown. The U.S., which had about 100,000 service members in Afghanistan, has begun a withdrawal which will remove about a third of them by September.
Other major contributors to the coalition - including Canada, the Netherlands and France - have already pulled their forces out of combat or accelerated their withdrawals. Australia on Tuesday became the latest to announce withdrawal plans.
Nearly 3,000 NATO troops have died since the U.S. invaded in 2001 to evict the then-ruling Taliban, about two-thirds of them Americans.
In the U.S., 6 out of 10 of those surveyed saw the war as not worth its costs, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last month. Opposition to the war is bipartisan, the poll showed.

How to Use
Map 2: Locke and Walnut Grove, California, and neighboring Delta towns.
Questions for Map 2
1. Locate the towns of Locke and Walnut Grove. Then locate the Sacramento River. Based on the map's scale, approximately how far are the towns from the river? Why would this be a good place for the Chinese and Japanese immigrants to establish their communities? Why would this area be prime farming and agricultural land?
* The map on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 2, but be aware that the file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

10 Best Games You Probably Haven't Played in 2013
Everyone's played BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider. But what about an immigration office simulator? What about a steam punk horror game? What about a completely audio based jousting game? These 10 Best Games You Probably Haven't Played in 2013 come from the furthest corners of the indie sphere. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should, because only the indie gaming community can bring you magical snipers, mind control office cubicles, and auto-cannibalism.

Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
First up on our 2013 list is Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine. This game is co-op stealth where you and group of other gamers team up to pull off an outstanding heist. It's essentially Ocean's 11, the video game. This makes it feel awesome when your red-head distracts a bystander, your hacker disables a security system, and your mole digs into a safe to empty out its contents, but it also makes you feel really stupid when your lookout basically runs past enemy security in a Leeroy Jenkins moment.

Want a new fighting game but don't have time to learn a bunch of fancy schmancy new mechanics? Try the one true fighting game: Divekick! Eight button controllers? Screw that! Try two button controllers and no stick! Combos? Psssh that's kid stuff. Who needs combos when each of your Divekicks deals one billion damage. Frame data? Special moves? Fatalities? All useless when you can choose the YOLO gem and go man mode on your opponent, proving that he is a fraud. Real men play Divekick. Everyone else is just a scrub.

Sports Friends
Sports Friends is probably this year's finest mini-game compilation. It includes games like Bari Bari Ball, a combination of sword fighting, Smash Bros. and soccer, and Super Pole Riders, a strange combination of hockey and the pole vault. However, the most interesting and most fun game of the Sports Friends compilation is Johann Sebastian Joust, the world's first audio game. It's played with the PlayStation Move controller against several people in the same room as you. Your goal is to get the opponent to move his or her controller faster than the tempo of the music, without you moving yours in the same way. When the music is fast it's like a frantic game of tag or even full contact wrestling, but when the music is slow you have to stalk up on your friends and get them to move their controller without even noticing it, like some sort of musical ninja.

The Stanley Parable
If you only have enough time to play one video game this year… you need to slow down buddy. Still, the Stanley Parable wouldn't be that bad of a choice for your absurdly overscheduled life. It's a game about choice and consequence. Every action alters the game's outcome, even if it's just choosing between too doors. Then again, it's also a game about defeating an evil mind control computer and sticking it to a snarky narrator who thinks he's better than you. It also doesn't really matter what door you go through as long as you get the secret ending where you get to screw around in Portal and Minecraft for a little while.

Papers Please
Papers Please is one of those indie games that makes a statement while still being fun to play. You are an underpaid immigration worker whose only duty is to check the credentials of immigrants entering the country. It's pretty easy to tell when someone is up to no good, so if you want to do your job well all you have to do is turn away dangerous and sketchy people from the border. There's only one problem. You don't get paid enough to feed your family. So you have to make a choice. Do you let your family starve, or do you accept bribes and let possibly dangerous terrorists into the country? Your goal is to survive your own hunger, but at the end of the game you tend to have to survive fire bombings instead.

Spy Party
Spy Party is an interesting take on the shooter genre. You either play a sniper with one bullet and a sniper rifle which is guaranteed to not miss, or a spy who is trying to blend in at a party and avoid getting detected by the sniper. The party guests are all controlled by A.I. and the spy looks exactly like them but is controlled by a player. The spy has to complete tasks like bugging people and objects or gathering rolls of microfilm with hidden intelligence, but doing so makes him stick out like a sore thumb. So the player has to do his best to act like a dumb A.I. party guest and only make moves to complete his objectives when the near godlike sniper isn't looking. Fool the sniper and you win. Get shot, and you lose.

The Wolf Among Us
The Wolf Among Us gets on our list of the 10 Best Games You Haven't Played in 2013 because it's far more obscure than the previous Telltale IP, The Walking Dead. Make no mistake though, it's just as awesome. The Wolf Among Us takes place in the world of Fables, where every storybook character from Ichibod Crane to Snow White has been exiled to New York City. This may sound like a children's game to you, but the fact that you get to play as the big bad wolf, who has a habit dismembering thugs who look at him funny, says otherwise.

Rogue Legacy
2D platformers? Awesome. Metroidvania style open world 2D platformers? Super awesome. Rogue-like Metroidvania style open world 2D platformers with randomly generated enemies and dungeons? Unfathomably awesome. Rogue-like Metroidvania style open world 2D platformers with randomly generated enemies and dungeons and a huge helping of RPG elements including secondary weapons, classes that inherit the aspects of prior generations, and a fort to build up using fund stolen from demonic enemies that you have slain? Now we are talking about Rogue Legacy.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
If you played the original Amnesia: The Dark Descent then you know that it's sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, is going to be pants shittingly terrifying, and you would be right. Gone is the ancient castle laden with Lovecraftian horrors. Your new haunted house of choice is a cold industrialized factory that seems to be processing men as so much bloated meat. It's symbolic! It's also scary enough to give your heart attacks heart attacks.

Don't Starve
The goal of Don't Starve is, appropriately enough, not to starve. This is easier said than done when you are marooned on a deserted island with nothing other than a few twigs and your own insanity to keep you company. If the hungry beasts of the wild don't tear you apart limb from limb as you sleep, you'll likely find yourself eating your own legs just to survive for one more day… or perhaps you'll manage to find an ancient temple of a lost civilization and fall into a fate worse than death. It's a surprisingly morbid and hardcore game for its cartoony graphics scheme and that's why it's at the top of our list of the 10 Best Games You Probably Haven't Played in 2013.

Did you know that Dance Moms was back on the air? Again? For a third season? After the show and Lifetime both experienced major fallout from an episode in which prepubescent girls were made to don nude suits for a burlesque number (the episode was removed from iTunes and will never see the light of day again due to numerous complaints), choreographer Abby Lee Miller pulled back a little. She changed her direction from attention-seeking scandal to, well, something that didn't make much sense: An interpretive dance about Helen Keller.
The young dancer Maddie was told that she had to remain in character as a blind, deaf, mute girl. But the girls never talk when they dance. And they have to hear their music. And they have to be able to see when doing arials over props. Still, everyone seemed to be in agreement over how moving the number was. (It looked exactly like every other dance on the show.) Somehow, Abby refrained from referring to herself as a "miracle worker."

Did Homeland Security Seize... And Then Unseize... A Dynamic DNS Domain?
from the cluelessness-knows-no-bounds deptOver the weekend, we started getting a bunch of reports from folks claiming that the dynamic DNS service afraid.org had been seized in the latest DHS/ICE domain seizures, and that all of the sites associated with afraid.org had been replaced with a notice that they had been seized over child porn claims. The main site involved was mooo.com. If you're unfamiliar with the way these dynamic DNS services work, they basically let you put a permanent URL, often using a subdomain like putsomesubdomainhere.mooo.com, and then you point it at whatever machine is actually hosting your content. For some folks and some projects, it's easier than getting your own full URL. But, of course, as a service, it can point to just about any kind of content. Remember, afraid isn't hosting any of this stuff. It's basically just acting as a directory.
Despite multiple reports, and various blog posts from individuals really pissed off that ICE had accused them of trafficking in child porn, we didn't write about it earlier for a few reasons. First off, with each of the past few ICE seizures, various hucksters have claimed that their domains were seized as well, and it later turns out to not be true at all. In the last round, I ended up talking with a guy who claimed his domain was seized for a few days, before realizing he was full of it. Second, afraid.org and mooo.com came back online a day and a half later, with the admin claiming that the domain was "suspended at the registrar level", but not mentioning DHS/ICE at all. I emailed afraid.org's admin asking him for details a few days ago, and heard absolutely nothing in response.
So despite more and more people bringing it up in our comments, I was ready to let it drop. However, late yesterday, Homeland Security and ICE did officially announced more domain seizures, but these were different than the last four rounds we've spoken about -- which were a part of "Operation in Our Sites," and was focused on IP violations. Instead, this is called "Operation Protect Our Children," and was focused on child porn. Yes, Homeland Security is pulling out the old "protect the children!" line to defend domain seizures.
Unlike the "In Our Sites" announcements, however, with "Protect Our Children," DHS didn't actually name the domains. So, right now I'm just not sure if mooo.com was really seized... and then given back (which would be a surprise, if true). Since I'm at a dead end in the normal channels, I figured I'd just put the story out here, and see if we can dig up any proof either way. Was mooo.com really seized as part of this program... and if so, was it really given back? If so, why? Did ICE realize that seizing a dynamic DNS service that links to a ton of perfectly legitimate content would clearly push it over the line on prior restraint? Remember, nearly all of the "prior restraint" cases we've discussed as examples of why the domain seizures are unconstitutional involve pornographic materials. And, one of the counterpoints that people have argued is that those rulings only apply to porn, but not copyright (no one has a good explanation of why that would be, but we'll leave that aside).
So, what happened here? Did DHS/ICE demonstrate even more technical cluelessness in seizing a dynamic DNS directory that linked to tons of perfectly legit content, and then realize its mistake and give it back? Or were the reports of mooo.com's seizure overblown? Or did something else happen altogether?

Rutgers University has fired coach Mike Rice less than 24 hours after ESPN's Outside the Lines aired video footage of Rice physically abusing players, the school announced on Wednesday morning.
Rutgers University has fired coach Mike Rice less than 24 hours after ESPN's Outside the Lines aired video footage of Rice physically abusing players, the school announced on Wednesday morning.
"Based upon recently revealed information and a review of previously discovered issues, Rutgers has terminated the contract of Mike Rice," the school statement read.
ORIGINALLY: Video of Rice's actions
REACTION: Strong responses on abuse video
CHRISTINE BRENNAN: Rutgers AD needs to be fired, too
Rice met with athletic director Tim Pernetti on Wednesday.
"I am responsible for the decision to attempt a rehabilitation of Coach Rice," Pernetti said in a statement. "Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community."
The footage, revealed by former director of player development Eric Murdock, featured Rice throwing basketballs at a player's head, kicking a player and using a homophobic slur directed at a player.
BRACKET BRIEFING: Most stunning Final Four outcomes
MORNING WIN: What took so long to fire Rice?
Rice, in a WABC broadcast aired on ESPN, called his actions "deeply regrettable" and reiterated what he said he told people when he was suspended.
"I can't say anything right now except I'm sorry," Rice said on an ESPN broadcast. "There is never going to be a time when I use any of that as an excuse. ...I've let so many people down — my players, administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family sitting huddled around just because their father was an embarrassment to them. It's troubling. At some time maybe I'll try to explain it. But right now … there is no excuse for it. I was wrong. I'm going to tell everybody who believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and sorrow that I've caused."
Rice had been suspended for three games in December and fined $50,000 after athletic department officials saw video footage of abuse. Pernetti said he spent "hundreds of hours" talking to those involved in the program to determine what happened.
Rutgers President Robert Barchi, in his comments aired on ESPN, seemed to indicate he first saw the video in recent days, not when Pernetti was making his decision in December to suspend and fine Rice.
John Barr, the reporter on the story for ESPN's Outside the Lines, found the university president's comments curious: "It "runs counter to what the athletic director said yesterday," that Barchi saw the video when the suspension and fine came down.
Rutgers is a state school and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, before the firing, said he was "deeply disturbed" by the video and what he had heard. After the firing, he released this statement:
"Rutgers has done the right thing by firing Mr. Rice, but that still doesn't resolve questions about how he was allowed to continue overseeing college students after this behavior first came to the attention of Rutgers administration last year.
"I'm puzzled as to how anyone could think Mr. Rice was someone who should be representing our state university on a national level.
"I expect a full and detailed explanation from the Rutgers administration as to why Mr. Rice was not dismissed sooner and how exactly that decision was made. If answers aren't forthcoming, we are prepared to do what's needed to get them for the people of New Jersey."
The backlash on Tuesday was widespread. The National College Players Association (NCPA) released a public statement calling for Rice's termination. LeBron James and his Miami Heat teammates were angered by the footage as well.
The timing of the abuse footage and Rice's firing could not have come at a worse time with the NCAA celebrating its 75th anniversary of the NCAA tournament.

In Reply to: Cocktail Table/Coffee Table posted by ESC on January 07, 2004
: : : This morning I heard a furniture store ad on the radio, and they were advertising "cocktail tables", among other items. It struck me as odd, because although in our house when I was growing up we always referred to the long, low table in front of the sofa as the "cocktail table", I've noticed that most people say "coffee table".
: : : I wonder which is more common? Could one of the other be regional? I can't believe there's an actual difference (that they are distinct types of tables). I grew up in metropolitan New Jersey near New York City, from the early 1960's on...
: : I always called it a cocktail table as well. I'm not sure which term is more popular, but they don't call it a "cocktail table book", do they? :)
: Folks on White Oak Mountain (W.Va.) didn't drink cocktails. It was a "coffee table." I've never heard people refer to it as a cocktail table.
New Joy-zee??
A bit west of ya in New Yawk City we called it a coffee table.

How Coherent Is Your Network? Ours Go To 11.
This is Fiber Tap? Light Reading.com had an interesting article recently on the potential impact of coherent optical technology on submarine cable capacity, which in many cases was built for the old "10 Gbps Information Super Highway". Today, the Internet is much more than that, with mobile, video, and cloud services dominating growth. The key point is that new technology is enabling existing systems to be easily upgraded from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps simply by replacing the DWDM equipment, without the cost to deploy new cable and other costly fiber infrastructure. As a result, companies which specialize in undersea cable deployments face economic challenges because of the lack of needed new projects. Why buy new when you can supercharge existing assets, especially in this economy?
We've seen this trend to upgrade ourselves, both for submarine systems and terrestrial cable by operators looking to deploy the Next Generation Internet – the one that is going to carry millions of video minutes every second. Iceland's FARICE for example, tested our coherent optical technology at 100 Gbps on one of their undersea links, and we've also recently completed successful 100 Gbps terrestrial trials with BT along with one of Russia's largest mobile carriers, MegaFon.
Cisco's VNI is clear evidence that speeds must evolve to 100G and beyond. However, the next strategic investments should consider more than simple performance improvements. Service providers should not miss out on a chance to optimize their architecture when they make the leap from 10 Gbps to 100 Gbps and beyond. They should also consider how new, more flexible and elastic architectures can improve network operations and lower costs by making more efficient use of available bandwidth. That's one of the key benefits of Cisco's nLight™ technology, which shares information between the optical and packet layers, helping to automate end-to-end service provisioning and provide dynamic management of the optical and routing layers. This ensures that capacity is only provisioned as needed and optimizes the utilization of network resources. ACG Research performed an analysis and determined that nLight can reduce costs by up to 50% for protected traffic.
Watch the video below to hear Kishore Seshadri, Director of Product Marketing discuss Cisco nLight technology in more detail.
To learn more about Building Efficient and Cost Effective 100G Optical Transport Networks, including the use of coherent technology, please attend an upcoming online seminar with Cisco Technical Marketing Engineer Valerio Viscardi. Registration details for this event on Wednesday November 7th at 3pm GMT can be found here.

Final Four Set – 2013 NCAA Tournament
UNDATED (AP) — Louisville put the finishing touches on the Final Four by rolling past Duke 85-63 to win the NCAA Midwest Regional.
Russ Smith scored 23 points to lead the way while Gorgui (GOR'-gee) Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
Louisville managed to pull off the overwhelming win despite seeing teammate Kevin Ware suffer a gruesome broken leg in the first half.
The injury occurred as Ware tried to contest a shot and the leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino said after the game that the bone broke in two places and was protruding out of Ware's leg.
Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein said hospital officials told the school that Ware was "resting comfortably" and that the pain is "under control."
As the final seconds ticked down, Chane (shayn) Behanan put Ware's jersey on and stood at the end of the Louisville bench as screaming. Cardinals fans chanted Ware's name.
The Cardinals earned their second straight trip to the Final Four and will meet surprising Wichita State in the semifinals on Saturday.
Earlier, Michigan earned a trip to Atlanta next week with a by dominating Florida 79-59 to clinch the South Regional title.
Nik Stauskas led the way to the Wolverines seventh Final Four appearance with 22 points, including six three-pointers. Big Ten player of the year Trey Burke added 15 points while Mitch McGary chipped in with 11 points and nine rebounds.
The win moves Michigan into a Saturday's national semifinal meeting with Syracuse.
ATLANTA (AP) — Kentucky coach John Calipari says sophomore point guard Ryan Harrow is transferring to Georgia State to be closer to his family.
Harrow averaged 9.3 points per game as a freshman at North Carolina State in the 2010-11 season before transferring to Kentucky. He sat out the Wildcats' 2011-12 national championship season and averaged 9.9 points in 29 games, including 24 starts, for Kentucky last season.
