Accused I-96 roadway shooting spree suspect is competent to stand trial
A Wixom man suspected in an October shooting spree that targeted motorists along the I-96 corridor has been determined competent to stand trial.
Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, stood in front of 53rd District Court Judge Carol Sue Reader on a terrorism charge, with an additional count of assault with intent to murder and five weapons charges.
"Today, Judge Reader accepted the report from the forensic center that determines Casteel is competent to stand trial," said Michigan Attorney General's Office spokeswoman Joy Yearout after the proceeding in Howell.
A date for the preliminary exam hearing has not yet been scheduled.
"The defendant did waive the 14-day rule, so it could be very soon," she said. "We're prepared for the trial and ... we look forward to putting on a strong case."
Yearout said that Casteel's competency reports were not entered into evidence, so she could not comment on the findings.
"Releasing anything else could impair the defendant's right to a fair trial," she said.
The case — involving 21 shootings in Ingham, Livingston and Shiawassee counties — is separate from the charges against Casteel in Oakland County.
Prosecutor Jessica Cooper's office will be handling 60 counts for several other shooting incidents in Wixom and Commerce Township.
In November, some wondered why the prosecutor decided to opt out of the attorney general's grouping of the case. Continued...
Cooper said Oakland County was a little advanced in its case, and "in on it from the beginning."
She added that there were no issues, no turf wars that may have sparked the decision.
"They have right to ask for help and attorney general has the right to grant that," she said.
Casteel's competency exams in Oakland County were recently completed, said Chief Assistant Prosecutor Paul Walton. He is expected at the 52-1 District Court in Novi at 1:30 p.m. today for his forensic competency hearing.
Walton said he cannot comment on the county's findings until the results are submitted to the court.
Casteel — a married father who graduated from Michigan State University — remains jailed on $2 million bond from Oakland and Livingston counties.

Insight and analysis of factors driving prices.
The US styrene contract gradually moved higher from November through February, mostly on the back of stronger feedstock benzene prices. Despite the higher prices, though, global demand for US styrene was still thin because of a seasonal slowdown.
Styrene spot prices were around the 70 cents/lb mark for much of November and early December, with no real direction seen alongside the weak demand and stronger feedstock prices.
However, prices gradually moved higher to about 75 cents/lb in mid-December, as feedstock cost pushed the market higher. By February, styrene spot prices had moved up to about 78 cents/lb FOB.
Meanwhile, styrene contract prices for November and December also moved higher, following the record-high benzene contracts.
Updated to mid-February 2013

JTV 59 Switch not working for models

I 've the same problem. Got a brand new jtv 59 and after one week the guitar is now switching models by itself or not at all. As I life in New Zealand, it makes no sense to send it back to the states.
Extremely dissappointing. For me the guitar is basically now useless. Is there a possibility to get a new switch or some kind of replacement, I have no problem to change it by myself as I have done lots of guitar modifications by myself in the last 30 years. Problems like this shouldn't happen in this price class!!

"Prodigal" Gay Son...
I've not shied away from sharing my spiritual journey in the past. I seem to be at a crossroads again. Maybe I'm a spiritual flip-flopper... though I'd rather be considered that, if it means I'm actively searching for truth, rather than sitting on my smug behind in some pew, never having questioned, never having left the safety of my "holy bubble."
I'm considering returning to the church, after several years of inactivity and a couple years after I outright renounced it. I miss the fellowship. Though I've belonged to a circle, coven, whateveryouwannacallit, for nearly two years, our meetings tend to be irregular these days due to the personal issues of other members, and conflicted schedules. And the worship experience is at times underwhelming. Worship. I miss liturgy. Aesthetics in worship are very important to me. That's not slamming low-church folks, but Baptist, charismatic, or garden variety Protestant services just have never appealed to me. Few churches have been able to meet my high aesthetic standards. I loved and miss the Orthodox liturgy, but the antigay theology of Orthodoxy--as well as bad memories of priests scolding me and urging my repentance of same-sex urges--makes it impossible for me to return. Likewise, Roman Catholicism is not an option to me, because I refuse to support or belong to a faith that refuses to bless the whole of me, including how I love. (I actually went to a Catholic mass last weekend, trying to keep an open mind, and no spiritual fireworks went off. I left early.) Having said that, I could never be the kind of... I dread to say it... "Christian"... that I once was. I don't think Christ is the only way, and I surely don't think monotheism is the only way; not after glimpsing the violent history of monotheistic religions. While acknowledging the few universal truths, good advice, and beautiful passages in the Bible, I do not regard it as God's infallible word. I look at much of the OT especially, and am disgusted by what I see being marketed as "the law of God." I think 99% of that stuff was more the law of humans at that time... I'm suspicious of any and all religious "scriptures," and can only shake my head at how theologians waste lifetimes and centuries debating their meaning. I have no intention of completely giving up my current spiritual practices, no matter what. If a church can't handle the fact that I'm a gay guy who's into drumming, tarot cards, and nature veneration, well, then they can kiss off. This is nothing certain. I'm not signing the dotted line today, nor will I be reciting the sinner's prayer, repenting of the last two years. Maybe I just need to get back on Paxil, or maybe this is a phase. These are just my musings, my feelings... where I am right now in my walk. Ironic, considering Anne Rice's very public move in the opposite direction for reasons that most if not all of us could understand. But, yes, a big part of me misses the church. I've long wondered how any self-respecting LGBT person could be part of religions like Christianity, which by and large seem to hate our homo-guts. But of course, plenty of us already are and long have been fighting for equality from within, as well as without, organized religion. I've already contacted two local Anglican pastors by email. The Episcopal Church not only has lovely worship services, especially its parishes of Anglo-Catholic leanings, but is a place where I feel I could be accepted for who I am, sexually and theologically. Thoughts are most welcome, as always, if you've been kind enough to read this far. Love and peace. )O(

Whether you attend at church or not
I suggest you think in terms of a 'practice', that is, a spiritual practice, one that you do daily. This could be ritual, meditation, or some endeavor that gives your grounding.
Of course you want to be in community. That seems to be the way we are built as human beings. We need and want to be with each other, share experiences- be on the journey of life together- tell our stories as it were- and be part of the story. Whatever you decide to do, or not do or go, please remember that 'authorities', whether they are scriptural or personal, only have the power that you give them.

Ram Das, who is a teacher I greatly respect, says that it's not unusual for us to return to our spiritual origins. I explored all sorts of different spiritual practices during my years away from the church, and find that to have broaden my understanding of spirituality. So enjoy the experience and understand that a seeker is constantly seeking; at least that's what seems right to me. Kara |
You needed time away. I am not anti Christ, in fact i believe Christ to be a rare human genious like Buddha.
Just like a female rape victim may be unable to trust any man at first, She later can again love a man who loves her onece the wounds have healed....and you don't have to give up your coven to attend church. You can multifacet your spirituality. Choose what is true to your heart. You may even practice some Buddhist tradition one day
Love and affirmation, Forrester Tongpa Nyi (formerly Ash Phoenix, faeries evolve! ) When you come to know that your entitlement to joy is a given, All that remains is the exploration of the many different ways to let it in |
Appreciate the advice, as always. Wow, Kara, you met Starhawk? She seems like an awesome lady, and a strong LGBT ally. I'm jealous.
Ash, you are right. I have no intention of "dropping" my Wiccan and pagan friends, and will continue to meet with them for ritual. There are Christopagans who mix and match from both religions. If you believe in the first commandment, it may be troublesome, of course. Pagans honor a huge variety of deities from various pantheons, including Hindu deities, etc. Why could Jesus not be another god (or great teacher) in the mix? Regarding Buddhism, as much as I admire it and its practitioners who seem a rather peaceful bunch, I strongly disagree with some of its basic tenets, so I don't ever see myself going that way. If I've learned anything, it's that what you believe is secondary to how you act. In other words, I think an atheist who works at a soup kitchen is closer to "God" than a born-again Christian who judges the hearts of others, and whose heart is full of hate. Interestingly, the person who responded to my email to the local Anglo-Catholic church is gay, and says this church is very welcoming. I'm looking forward to Mass this Sunday.

Out of the closet and into the streets! |
But, like so many other times in my life, the move to the San Francisco Bay area was to lead me in an entirely different and unexpected path. A friend of mine talks about God as a God of surprises and my life is a testimony to that! That's why I have so few moments of regret. And while I'm now back in the church, and an out lesbian and preacher at my parish, I still practice much of the differing and divergent spiritual practices that I've studied, and am grateful for them. I'm a firm believer, that there are no accidents and everything in our life has a purpose. |
Back to Your Roots
There's the saying that no one ever strays too far from their roots. You've traveled some different roads and now maybe it's time to go home. There's nothing wrong with questions your faith. At times I believe that it's good because it causes us to stretch it and grow. I've done it a number of times.
Being a Christian means that I have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with what church I attend, what political affiliation I have or where I live. Sadly, there are some quarters who have hijacked the faith put Christianity down to a few man-made rules and dogma. It reminds me of the Pharisees with their strict following of tradition. Meanwhile, the people were spiritual dying of starvation. Antiochian, you make some valid observations about the violence and abuses but that's a story that we can discuss sometime. I'm somewhat acquainted with some of it. In regards to being gay, it believe the church is now speaking to the issue and I think that is very good. I'm a transgender person and see that what some speak about these isses are wrong. I would like to know how your visit to church goes. Lately, I 've visited some Catholic churches (I was raised a Catholic). I visit during the day to pray and meditate on spiritual things. It's not so much the church building but it's just wanting to be in God's presence. Gennee

Suzy is always impressed with her classy mom's note cards.
When we ran out of thank you notes, we went to The Source for where she buys her stationery.
American Stationery has been in business for more than 90 years. Three generations of Suzy's have purchased their embossed, embellished and personalized paper products from them.
We love the quality -- thick, beautiful paper -- and the prices (cheaper than anywhere else on the web).

The answer to the age-old riddle "What happened when the human had vagina-sex with the manatee?" 3. My favorite type of manimal "Help me straddle the saddle of that humanity!"
"Here comes captain Humanity, the strongest human-manatee hybrid I've ever expected to come here and be a captain!" |

Pokemon Mafia Revelations is here at last
Pikachu carefully followed the lone Cyndaquil. "We need to keep an eye on this one. There's something strange about it." The voice of its trainer echoed in its head. Cyndaquil kept walking, looking around cautiously. Before long the small fire Pokemon was cut off by a Spearow. It began flapping its wings to create a gust. The flame on Cyndaquils back grew bigger. Spearow flew high into the sky as Cyndaquil launched a fire blast in it. It then used Drill Peck to dive down. Vines appeared out of nowhere and pulled Cyndaquil out of the way. The fire on its back lit the vines on fire and the flame went back and burned the Pokemon it was coming from.
"RUN!" The trainer called out to Cyndaquil. Spearow turned and used Quick Attack to fly right through the trainer. The grass type Chikorita slowly burned to death as Cyndaquil ran for its life
You have executed Tumnus, He was Chikorita's trainer. You have approximately 96 hours to send in a night action. Night scene should be up Sunday night.
Pokemon Mafia Revelations is here at last
Which is exactly why I don't bandwagon
I didn't think I would get executed this early. Oh well.
Don't have a lot of time so no scene. Djhappy has died, he was Slowking's trainer. Only sending out important PM's and not the individual ones I usually send out. Day ends Friday night, the 19th.
Pokemon Mafia Revelations is here at last
Just to clarify. Djhappy was killed by the Mafia

SoulDialga changed his/her vote a total of four times yesterday. Just read pages 9 and 10 of the thread, and pretty much the whole thing is SoulDialga switching around just to please the people who found her votes suspicious. The whole thing seems verrrrrry scummy to me. Vote: SoulDialga

New Haven, CT-
As a foreigner I have a great appreciation for Connecticut. I am in awe when traveling to new towns and enjoy learning about the State's history and visiting historical houses. I grew up in Kent, England and studied American Studies at The University of Manchester, spending one semester at Arizona State University as part of my degree. I later returned to Arizona to do a museum internship, researching and documenting historical objects. In 2008 I moved to New Haven and until the end of 2011 worked for a missing heir company, combining genealogical and investigative research to connect heirs to their rightful inheritances. This job took me all around the State and taught me how to use a wide variety of record types to overcome brick walls. Client and personal projects have introduced me to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, exposing me to new record types and allowing me to develop my skills and expand my knowledge. I have been a self-employed professional genealogist since the beginning of 2012 and work on missing heir and family history projects. Learning about where I live has provided me with a sense of place and Connecticut has become a place to call home.

(SOURCE: American Thoracic Society, news release, Oct. 26, 2012)
FRIDAY, Oct. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Older people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at greater risk for plaque formation in the carotid artery, the large artery in the neck that carries blood to the brain, according to a new study. Researchers in the Netherlands also found patients with this progressive lung condition are more likely to have vulnerable fatty plaques, which increase their risk for stroke. "In our study, carotid artery wall thickening was increased twofold in older COPD patients compared with ['control' patients] with normal lung function, and COPD was an independent predictor of the presence of plaques with a lipid core, which are more prone to rupture," said one of the researchers, Dr. Bruno Stricker, professor of pharmaco-epidemiology at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The study was published online Oct. 26 in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. In conducting the study, the researchers compared the plaque composition of more than 250 COPD patients aged 55 and older to 920 people who did not have COPD. The patients with carotid-wall thickening underwent MRI scans to further examine the plaques in the carotid artery. The study revealed that the patients with COPD were twice as likely to develop carotid-wall thickening as those without COPD. The researchers noted this risk increased significantly for those with more difficulty breathing. The study authors concluded that doctors should be aware that patients with COPD are at greater risk for asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). "The results of our study provide new insights into the relationship between COPD and the increased risk for stroke seen in these patients," Stricker said in a news release from the American Thoracic Society. "Understanding the underlying risk factors for stroke in COPD patients can help identify those at high risk and lead to the development of more personalized preventive treatment strategies targeting this devastating complication," he added.

Thunder Soul - A Movie Review
Monday, 13 February 2012
Published in
Soul / Funk Jazz - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
Thunder Soul is the movie/documentary, executive produced by Jamie Foxx, about the award winning Kashmere High School Stage Band, out of Houston, Texas. The band was led by a visionary music teacher, Conrad "Prof" Johnson Sr., who, like Miles Davis, recognized music and life was changing dramatically for African-Americans in the early 1970s and moved his traditionally oriented jazz stage band into the realm of jazz funk. Documentaries, if they are successful, find ways to not just make the true life experiences focused on in the movie personal for the audience, but also complete the picture with a full round look at ancillary ideas and vector relationships germane to the topic. Director Mark Landsman does this in aces.

Remember the 1970s – of course you don't, you weren't born yet. Trust me, it was a great time for jazz. Big record labels, like Columbia and Warner Brothers, gave their stable of jazz artists good funding to produce personal statements not bounded by end of quarter financial statements. Even small labels, like CTI and Arista, gave their artists the room to find their own way. The result was the best, most diverse, decade of jazz ever created. Cinque harkens back to those great days.

It has to have been difficult for Lorraine Feather. Her father, Leonard Feather, was the man who not only singlehandedly defined the role of the modern jazz critic, but was also arguably the greatest jazz journalist ever. That's a huge shadow to grow up under, especially if the daughter has talents and ambitions that heavily lean towards the aural arts. Lorraine, however, has fashioned a career that is apologetic to no one.

Smooth Jazz - CD Reviews

Watching smooth jazz artists embark on new ventures, new arenas and new paths is actually one of the more exciting things to happen to music in 2011 and still now in 2012. With the death of smooth jazz radio we've witnessed George Benson return to the kind of music he played on his CTI and early Warner Brothers recordings, watched Richard Elliot move to soul-jazz, and Candy Dulfer gravitate more fully towards dance music.

Jazz Vocals - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
When Diane Schuur burst on the national scene in 1985 with the release of her Deedles recording on GRP, the world was treated to an exceptional vocalist who had strengths in jazz and jazz-pop crossover. Her string of hit records was aided by not just topnotch production and producing via her partnership with the Dave Grusin - Larry Rosen brain trust, but also a selection of material that fit her voice and abilities in way that has rarely been seen since. Add to this her abundant skill on piano, which is subtle and always overlooked, and you had an artist for whom, it seemed, nothing could go wrong.

5 Minutes With Eva Longoria
Posted by
Eva Longoria is a passionate woman! Whether it's cooking (her first cookbook came out last year) or charity work (which takes up 80% of her day), the actress is keeping busy after Desperate Housewives doing exactly what she loves.
Her latest partnership is with Dine's 'Follow Your Passion' campaign, and she reveals just what her true passions in life are...
What's next for you in 2012?
After Desperate Housewives I'm going to take a break. I have a couple of movies coming out so I'll be doing press for them, and I'm going to be travelling a lot. I'm also doing a lot of work for the re-election campaign for Obama so I'll be travelling all over the United States campaigning for him and targeting the Latino and the women's community to re-elect him.
Is there anything similar between you and your character Gabrielle?
Gabby and I are exact opposites. Playing her has been a lot of fun so I'm definitely going to have Gabby withdrawals. It's always fun to play something or someone you're not as you get to explore feelings you wouldn't usually explore in life. Gabby always says and does things that people wish they could say and do, so I always find playing her really liberating.
You always look amazing. What's your fitness regime?
I'm a healthy eater and I'm really into a good diet. I eat pretty healthily and I work out with a personal trainer. I recently cut out sugar from my diet which was harder than you'd think - no rice, no pasta, no bread and nothing which turns into sugar. I did the diet for about 30 days and saw great results so I've kind of just continued along that path.
Describe your style.
My fashion motto is 'comfortable'. I like to be comfortable in my skin but also feel physically comfortable. I do so many events and so many galas and there's nothing worse than sitting in a gown which you can't breathe in. I usually start with comfort and then colour, so they are my two barometers of what I'm going to wear. I love colour and don't like to wear black. I love red, orange, purple and blue.
If you weren't an actress, what would you be?
If I wasn't an actress, I'd probably be a business woman. I have a very strong business mind and I'm very entrepreneurial. There's much more of a structured path in the business world, which I like. I love having measurable obtainments which is tough in the acting world; you could follow my exact career path but not achieve the same results.
What are some of the passions in your life?
The focus on passion really inspired me to be involved in this campaign as the idea of passion is pretty central to who I am. I'm passionate about cooking, my work and also about my relationships - whether it's with my family, loved ones or animals.
What are your other passions?
I have a great passion for philanthropy. About 80% of the time in my day is spent on some sort of charity that I'm working with. I got the philanthropic spirit growing up - it was a passion which my family passed on to me. I work a lot with children and children's health, the Latino and women's community and just advocating for different issues and policies which would help make these people's lives a lot better.
Tell us about your passion for cooking?
I have such a passion for cooking and I cook everything - Mexican, Italian, American and French. I created a cookbook which encompassed food from all these cultures and it's kind of a memoir of my life told through food. Cooking is definitely therapeutic for me; I find it really soothing to go home and cook. Some people find cooking quite stressful but I find it really relaxing.
How did you feel about being part of the Dine campaign?
I was really excited to be a part of the Dine campaign for 2012. I thought it was brilliant to incorporate passion for life through whatever your interests may be. For me, it's cooking, dancing or acting. I also find passion for relationships really important and some of those relationships happen to be with animals, so I thought it was very clever of Dine to come up with this campaign.
