A Washington university located in Seattle, founded in 1861. Best known for the worst football season in college sports history, when they failed to win a single game in 2008. Did you hear that famous serial killer Ted Bundy went to the University of Washington?
2. | University of Washington | ||
A university located in the city of Seattle and in the state of Washington. If you take away the Medical program and its graduate schools, it's basically just a larger version of a community college. The undergrad students (AKA Fuskies or Dawgs) comprise mainly of Asian-Americans, foreigners, and spoiled white kids who cannot properly function well in life if living anywhere 20 miles farther from their parents. Others include smelly hippies, unhealthy North Face wearing chicks, male homophobes who are stuck in mid-90's era A&F styling, friendly fags, cranky dykes and occasional African-Americans from the sports teams. The majority of these class-less kids are delusional idiots who thought they could get into UC Berkley, Stanford or some east coast Ivy League school back in high school, but ultimately got rejected on many occasions. As a result, they make the mistake that their undergrad education at UW is far superior than anyone else, but in truth is comparable to any community college in the Seattle area. The students also suffer from a "superiority complex" in which they exaggerate their self-worth, bloat their egos, stroke their friends' egos, act elitist and poke fun at other PAC-10 schools because it makes them feel better when mommy & daddy is not around to boost their self-esteem with cupcakes every morning. Campus is dangerous with muggers, thugs and rapists. University of Washington on campus student clinic...
Doctor: "I hope you are taking your birth control pills." Female UW Student: "I make sure I take them every morning" Doctor: "You are a GREAT humanitarian." |
3. | University of Washington | ||
A school in the PAC 12 most well known for being hated by the rest of the world. The University, AKA UW, is full of high-class-wannabes and stuck up individuals. Commonly known as Huskies, Fuskies, Dawgs and Purple Penis Eaters attendees of the University of Washington are widely considered helpless or "off the deep end." Of course no Fuskie will admit this, they would rather brag about their new tan, the school's bad football team or their father's BMW. Amanda Knox, Tend Bundy and Angie Mentink are just a few of the most well known University of Washington attendees.
4. | University of Washington | ||
The school Ivy missers attend to make themselves feel better about that Cornell rejection. Convinced they attend an elite institution, Huskies overlook UW's 75% acceptance rate and mediocre admissions statistics, preferring to delude themselves into believing they attend anything more than a mediocre regional school unknown outside the Pacific Northwest. Husky - "Yeah I go to University of Washington, the best school in a barely populated region of the country. It's basically the equivalent of Harvard."
Ivy Leaguer - "......what the fuck are you talking about?" |
5. | University of Washington | ||
A state run program to harbor all foreign nationalities, but mostly Asians. Asians, Asians, Asians and more Asians. UW propaganda attempts to make attendees (AKA Fuskies) feel better about themselves by inflating their enormous egos by supplying pink t-shirts, 2 sizes to small, to all men and by confiscating all female underwear (most girls are already so slutty, they often have none already). Luckily, UW alerts the general public of a Fuskies presence by smothering its inhabitants with gaudy purple and gold, which are the universal colors for "Yes, I tan and go to Starbucks every day, please key my car." Sadly, while UW was intended for foreign exchange students, unintelligent, insecure, high school sluts and bisexual men from here in America have, over time, been attracted to UW, thus enhancing UW's reputation as a breeding ground for STD's, bad sports teams, and cum spiked hair. Kieth, you Fuskie, get up to the University of Washington.

Colonoscopy: Annually, beginning at age 20-25, or ten years younger than the earliest age of diagnosis in the family, whichever comes first. NCCN guidelines (NCCN Version 2.2011) state two to five years prior to the earliest age of diagnosis in the family, if under the age of 25 and to repeat every 1-2 years.
Endometrial Sampling: Annually, beginning between ages 30-35
NCCN Guidelines reflect despite no current scientific evidence, annual endometrial samplings may be useful in select patients. (NCCN Version 2/2011)
Transvaginal Ultrasound: For Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer: Annually beginning ages 30-35 NCCN guidelines determine this is at the clinician's discretion.
CA-125: For Ovarian Cancer. While there may be times screening can be helpful, NCCN has determined data does not support routine ovarian screening for LS. (NCCN Version 2/2011)
Ultrasonography With Cytology: Annually, beginning at age 25-35 (NCCN Guidelines, Version 2.2011 refer to an "annual urinalysis.")
Gastroscopy: Especially for individuals with family history of Lynch gastric cancers. NCCN guidelines recommends for consideration of gastric and small bowel cancer screening, an EGD with extended duodenoscopy (to distal duodenum or into the jejunum) and polypectomy every 2-3 years beginning at the age of 30-35.
Other screenings may be considered including baseline gastric biopsies to evaluate chronic inflammation, atrophic gastropathy, and intestinal metaplasia and consider shorter screening intervals in persons with normal histology. Evaluate for H. Pylori on the biopsies and by serology and treat those with evidence of infection. Consider enteroscopy at the time of the EGD to evaluate the distal duodenum and jejunum.
Consider capsule endoscopy for small bowel cancer at 2-3 year intervals beginning at age 30-35.
Examination and Review: Family History Review, Discussion of LS - Annually
Colon Resection: For individuals with active colon cancer that cannot be removed by colonoscopy. Subtotal colectomy favored with preferences of patient actively elicited.

House explodes in southwest Oklahoma City
No casualties; one person was treated at the scene. The house was destroyed and surrounding houses had significant damage.
A woman was pulled from her home by an Oklahoma Natural Gas worker after a gas explosion Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
The woman — identified only as in her 60s — was making cookies about 5 p.m. when the explosion rocked the southwest Oklahoma City home, 9208 S Villa Ave., fire Deputy Chief Marc Woodard said.

House destroyed in explosion, no fatalities
Jan 3A house exploded in southwest Oklahoma City on Thursday,...
Photoview all 13 photos
An ONG employee investigating the smell of gas in the area ran into the back door of the flaming home and brought her to safety, he said.
The woman was treated at the scene, but refused to be taken to the hospital, Woodard said.
"This one employee for Oklahoma Natural Gas literally jumped the fence of the house next door, ran behind the house, went in the back door because there was fire in the front and got her out. She was inside the kitchen baking cookies and (he) rescued her, so very heroic on his part," he said.
"She is the only person with injuries. … No fatalities. It's a miracle that there wasn't. Usually when you have something like this, you have several fatalities due to the amount of pressure in the explosion that you have," Woodard said.
The cause of the explosion is under investigation.
Walter Mitchell lives three doors west of the house that exploded.
"I was sitting there watching TV, and all of a sudden the house shook like crazy, a concussion-type thing," he said.

The 2012 MTV Movie Awards kicked off last night and there were a bevy of celebs in attendance to indulge in all the antics the show normally provides.
The night, hosted by the always appropriately inappropriate Russell Brand, who made his fair share of jokes about Kim Kardashian, and even his marriage to Katy Perry, saw celebs from Jessica Biel to Emma Stone arrive on the red carpet.

The red carpet kicked off around 8 p.m., but began to be flooded with stars showing off their hottest looks closer to the start of the show.
Jessica Biel showed off her legs in a white cape sleeved mini dress that she brought to life with her blunt bangs and nude makeup.

The US State Department has warned U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to the Philippines, in particular to the Sulu Archipelago and the island of Mindanao. It issued a Travel Warning update on Thursday, which reflects continuing threats in those areas due to terrorist and insurgent activities.
U.S. citizens have been advised to defer non-essential travel to the Sulu Archipelago, due to the high threat of kidnapping of international travelers and violence linked to insurgency and terrorism there.
U.S. citizens should exercise extreme caution if traveling to the island of Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. Throughout Mindanao, criminal groups have clashed sporadically with the Philippine Armed Forces, particularly in rural areas, and terrorist groups have kidnapped international travelers and carried out bombings that have resulted in injuries and deaths. In Cotabato City, and in the Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat provinces, the government maintains a state of emergency that compels a greater police presence in those areas.
Security and safety conditions in the urban centers of Davao City, General Santos City, and Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao are generally more controlled. Nevertheless, official U.S. Government visitors and Embassy employees must receive special authorization from the Embassy to travel to any location in Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago, including these urban centers.
U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in the Philippines have been advised to review the Department of State's Country Specific Information for the Philippines, which contains additional information about conditions throughout the country.
The State Department said it remains concerned about the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world. The Department's current message recommending Worldwide Caution reminds U.S. citizens that terrorism can occur anywhere.
All U.S. citizens in the Philippines have been encouraged to enroll with the Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program or at the U.S. Embassy in Manila so that they can receive the Embassy's most recent security and safety updates during their trip.
U.S. citizens traveling in the region are encouraged to stay up to date on conditions across the globe by bookmarking the Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as the Worldwide Caution.

Health and Disability
NACCHO, with support from the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, promotes the inclusion and engagement of people with disabilities in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health programs, products, and services. The goal of NACCHO's Health and Disability Project is to provide local health departments (LHDs) with practical strategies and recommendations, including tools and materials developed by peer LHDs, and relevant information from partner organizations. The purpose of this project is to:
NACCHO's Health and Disability Project is sponsoring a Health and Disability Learning Community with a module focused on emergency preparedness and a module focused on obesity and physical activity. Join one or both modules and find a place to share, collaborate, and learn from others in the field. More » Did you know that there are nearly 80 Health and Disability tools in NACCHO''s Toolbox? NACCHO''s Toolbox is a free, online collection of local public health tools produced by members of the public health community. Tools within the Toolbox are materials and resources public health professionals and other external stakeholders can use to inform and improve their work in the promotion and advancement of public health objectives. Disability-specific tools include the Disability and Health Data System, which is intended to be used by public health professionals to translate state-level, disability-specific data into public health information, and a guide for restaurants which provides information about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as an explanation of the relationship between the ADA and the FDA Food Code. Between 2005 and 2010 NACCHO's Health and Disability Workgroup provided guidance to a Demonstration and Technical Assistance project with the goal of increasing disability inclusion at local health departments (LHDs). The project included five demonstration sites (funded from 2005–2007), five sites that received technical assistance from the demonstration sites (funded from 2007–2008), and seven sites that received technical assistance from the previous demonstration and technical assistance sites (funded from 2009–2010). Compiled information from this project includes descriptions of the activities implemented at each health department, final reports from many sites, and a tip sheet entitled, "Tips and Strategies for Successful Integration of People with Disabilities into Local Public Health Promotion Programs." Use these lessons learned as you consider the best strategies for inclusion of people with disabilities in current or new programs. More » |

@SilentxSniper01 - Sounds like a bad install...
Check out my stream!: http://www.twitch.tv/myriax
"Torch Bearer" AKA Leader of European Theater: 1944 Modification (NEW THREAD)
Ok, tell me if this could work...
My friend's game works perfectly fine, what if I copy and paste the folder from my friend's computer containing the portrait icons and replace my folder containing the icons. Could that work?
But: is there a folder that allocates the icons to the units? If so what is it? And lastly could it work?
check the "Data/Art/ui/ingame" folder inside your N44 mod directory, that folder contains all the icons, portraits, symbols and other similar 2D stuff used for UI. If it was a bad install like @Twitchy pointed out, doing this would fix your problem.
Hey, I did as you suggested but, yes you guessed it, it didn't work...
Haha you are going to laugh.
AMD Athlon(tm)64 X2 Dual Core Processor4000+ 2.10GHz
ATI Radeon 4670HD
But in my defence, coming from South Africa, money is scarce.
Que laughter...
I don't think that's something to laught about regardless where you come from.
Have you updated the video drivers recently or have you tweaked some options at the catalyst center?
When you sent me the links to DirectX and such, I also updated my video drivers to the most recent versions and I haven't tweaked any options. I have no idea what could be the problem. Last night I tried something else. I copied my friend's games exactly from his program files and see if that could work but it didn't. So it has to be that there is something wrong with my system files or something and not the game itself.
I have enjoyed your mod but now am unable to launch it
recently upgrade my graphics card to 512 mb and the game ran fine
i lowered some of the graphics settings in the game to optimize perfromance
i did this several times to see what the difference might be
a few days ago i started getting error messages about not being able to create a dump file (when presssing the "press any Key" button to launch the battle
I would relaunch the game and it woiuld work but since yesterday it wont
i uninstalled and reinstalled the mod but still not working
tried launchng the normal version of the game and it launched
if you have any ideas would be glad for feedback
So, does this mod work for single player campaigns, then? Sounds like it might, based on descriptions of the "AI being improved", but had to check.
Am not a big multiplayer myself, and I just can't bring myself to play base-building in the campagins, either...this might be the only mod that helps with that.
@Glabro - Sorry, but our mod is not compatible with Single Player Campaigns. Although it *Might* work with them, in most cases it will crash at one point or another and it most certainly does not offer an enjoyable experience.
However, custom maps/SCAR Coded maps and our AI for Skirmish offer a lovely experience for the player.
Be sure to try it out, you'll enjoy the fair challenge!
Oh. That's a a shame. I've been playing the Men of War series lately, but issues with ammo micromanagement and general difficulty make it hard going.
Do you think it's possible just to have a mini-mod where you only have a command post-sort of HQ tent which can call in any units, in lieu of having to build tank factories on the front, research labs or what have you...I just don't care for that sort of thing.
For the campaign, that is?
Possible? Yes.
Will it be done in the near future/at all by myself or the team?
Sadly, No.
The mod itself is stalled until our main coder (Sweeten) returns, if he does not we are stalled indefinitly.
Managing this mod and keeping it going is a challenge as it is, no need to add to that with a mini-mod.
Moreover, you need to make everything compatible with the Campaigns before you even try to modify things like base buildings and the like.
In 2.0, the player still builds buildings but all units come off map.
That's the closest thing you're going to get to it, really.
Sadly, it is not released. If you can code it yourself however, feel free.
All right, thanks for letting me know. I won't go into trying to learn how to code for CoH at this point, I'll just wait for the sequel and see if they haven't done something about it. I know there's a loud group of players who want the base building to remain, but I think they could accommodate everyone by simply making the multiplayer more traditional with base building (because that's what I assume what base builders care most about) and such but having the campaign be a bit more real (because that's usually what the non-base builders care first about). They could have both the "tactical" and "strategic" multiplayer modes included as well.
But they'll probably just do the tired old base building for everything.
hi, me and my firend are trying to play this mod online and we both have 1.7, but it still says incompatable game version. can anyone help??
can someone post a working link of the skins mentioned in the first post?
COH name : TheGWR
The first post states that allot of the skins used in this mod are from the "Waffen Mod", then it gives a link to said mod; which seems to be down and most likely not currently compatible with the latest patch. It is not a skin pack. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I hope this helps.
Is this dead? I checked the SVN revision and it's still the same. If someone could put up a new version without the bugs reported in that round of testing I did some time ago, I would be happy to test again
Also, best wishes Sweeten, wherever you are...
hey khannis . how does the alpha play?Is it like 1.7 or completely different just curious we have no idea.
It retains the same realistic feel (it's what I always liked about this mod), but the addition of sub-sub doctrines and the Soviets opens up a whole lot of new strategic options
It is reasonably buggy at the moment however, but with some bugfixing, it should be ready for a release (IMHO).
Sounds really good Khannis.I also like the fight of this mod.The A.I is probably the best.I hope it's still that way.As I recall in 1.7 it was.Sweeten ,agameanx ,uberbugz ,warnstaff ,cpt combat.One hell of an A.I team.Hopefully there be some bug squashin.Its been alot of effort for sure.It would be a shame for it not to be released.Thanks for the feedback Khannis
@Alliance Navy:hi there...well I think @ []inveigle[] gave you a pretty nice and resumed answer...the link to the skins on the first post is dead since that site no longer exists,so as the original creator thread,the Waffen Mod was one of his major and final works...his other stuff can be found somewhere around here in the Armory, some links in his thread of other stuff may also be dead so don't get disappointed if they really are gone,the creator has been out of CoH for a while and well I don't think he's coming back anytime soon.
@Khannis:Well,I hope not my friend though we need to be realistic...@sweeten hasn't logged in for like 3 months,it really has been a while since the last SVN update, I don't know what to say since I have been out of CoH for a while too,let's hope that this isn't the end of N44 or worst,I really hope @sweeten is fine.
On a side note directed to all the N44 team and mod teams:my PC recently broke again(damn I reeeeally need to get a new PC or maybe make a damn backup ) and everything I have worked on for the last 3-2 years(since I started playing and modding CoH)and and that also includes every sound and every sound mod I have made for the mods out there could be already lost
If that's the case then I think I'm gonna loose all hope on human kind and say goodbye to CoH for a loooong time,my apologies for the mods that asked help with sounds or for the ones I offered my help and ummm...I don't know what else to say but send my best wishes and the best of luck to everyone out there still playing and modding CoH...in any case if I get repaired my PC and I still have my CoH stuff then of course I'll continue working on modding CoH,so this isn't a definitive final goodbye but a "we'll see about that later" or a "see you later guys" or whatever

What I don't understand is, why some modders don't publish the work they have already done from time to time to the community so that it is possible that work out of month or years get lost forever?!?
In this forum I've found so many wunderful things (nowadays absent) modders have done in the past and are worth to get additional work that are impossible to download cause of inactive d/l links or never uploaded and maybe lost forever... That always makes me sad cause I know how much time and work is behind such modifications...
@Gamerisin, I am sorry to hear that. I went through that recently and it is no fun. Now I run a 2TB drive just for backups. You seem to be taking it all in stride. If you hear from Sweeten, please let him know we wish him well.
@Gamerisin: I hope you don't lose it all, good luck getting it back...
@Firefish: I agree with you my friend, though it isn't my call. I think this is still a great community that could benefit greatly from all the awesome work that was put on 2.0
@firefish:I totally agree with you but have in mind that some creators such as skinners got banned,I'm not gonna say who or what they did or they didn't do to get banned...then again some mods went dead when the team had much more important things to do and I mean RL stuff wich is obviously more important to any of us.
@[]inveigle[]:yes...yes of course I will let him know,let's just wait and see what happens
@Khannis:thx a lot buddy
@Everyone - I'm sure Sweeten is fine; I think he simply has decided to take a break/stop working on the modification. I've devoted my freetime to Blitzkrieg Mod as of now; as I cannot code very well so all of my abilities are in debate and balance on the forum; and Doctrine reworks.
when sweeten is ok,the mod is running
in fact:if there not gonna be terroriests on earth, the world be more peaceful in 40% you know that?
When will you guys allow us to play the campaign in this mod? mission2 vierville evrytime i try to reinforce my paratropper squad it freezes and i can't call in paratroopers nor can i get the hidden paratrooper squads either... so willy ou guys do suppoort for them?
Most mods don't support campaign, the only one I know of that does is Europe at war.
Btw this is an example of the ones which do not support campaign.
When it's finished.
cant find the launcher (i wouldent be the 1st to reply to a thread with no post in a couple of months..)
i am getting missing lua box errors in n44 1.7 I am using the right shortcut these errors seen to only pop up when playing the campaighn please help
Where is download to 2.94 version ?
Was kind of a false upload - is for another mod - the enhanced combat leader mod
R.I.P. Rad | R.I.P. Loran | R.I.P. MrScruff
I appreciate all the support and well wishes I have received over the years, and it's been a great ride (and no I am not dead ).
But I have to say it's not lack of time that's kept me away. My experiences have led into a new "higher calling" in life for lack of a better term. I haven't had a single moment when I have considered working on it, and there are MANY other things that I want to do that I haven't gotten to. I want to work on my health, spend time with family, and work on helping the truly needy in all ways. I honestly cannot see me continuing to mod
I invite any and all team members to release the Alpha "as-is" as I left it on the svn. It's a little buggy and a little unfinished, but it's better than nothing.
So I guess this is my official retirement post. I leave the N44 legacy to the team, and anyone they can recruit to help. Just try and keep the same standards and ideals that started with SIG21_surgeon and were passed onto me.
Good luck and God Bless

We are heading south today in the direction of New Plymouth, the weather is good and we get a very early start.
The idea is to get some kilometres behind us and then find somewhere interesting to stop for breakfast.
One of the places we pass through is Te Kuiti and I wasn't at all surprised to see references in the town to it's most famous son: Colin Meads.
Even if, (like me) you don't particularly follow New Zealand's national sport of Rugby, you would still surely know that Colin Earl Meads (born 1936) is regarded as one of the best players in rugby history.
Nicknamed "pinetree Meads" he was born in the Waikato but was raised on the family farm in Te Kuiti where he credited the hard physical labour of farm work for building up his renowned strength, strong physique and high level of fitness.
Meads played 55 test matches (133 total games), most frequently in the lock forward position, for the national team the All Blacks, from 1957 until 1971.One of Meads' sons, Glynn (nicknamed "'Pinecone' Meads) also went on to play rugby for the King Country region.
His strength and high threshold for pain became legendary — best illustrated when in a game against Eastern Transvaal in South Africa, in which he emerged from a particularly vicious ruck with his arm dangling horribly and obvious fracture, yet completed the match. When the doctor cut away his shirt and confirmed the break, Meads muttered, "At least we won the bloody game."
Meads had the reputation of being "an enforcer" and was involved in some controversial incidents. In 1967, he was sent off by Irish referee for dangerous play against Scotland at Murrayfield, and became only the second All Black suspended in a test match.
The British Daily Telegraph newspaper said of the incident that 'For once with Meads' worldwide reputation for robust play, "this was rather like sending a burglar to prison for a parking offence."
The trophy contested in New Zealand's domestic competition, the Heartland Championship, is named the Meads Cup in his honour.
The All Blacks website states 'As a sporting legend Meads is New Zealand's equivalent of Australia's Sir Donald Bradman or the United States of America's Babe Ruth.'
I just knew that Rugby would be considered " the only real sport" in a place like Te Kuiti, but as someone who hails from a family with European influences and therefore a football fan I still had to laugh out loud when I saw the following sign on the roadside. (my photo is a little blurry since it's taken from the moving car) but it says: "Welcome to Meadsville , leave all soccer balls in the bins provided".
In true Kiwi fashion Meads retains his sense of down to earth informality and in line with his preference, locals call him either 'Meads"or "Tree" when they see him.
I also see from another sign that Te Kuiti is the "(sheep) Shearing Capital of the World".. Haha ! wow Who Knew?!
We smile too at the Christmas good wishes in a paddock… and at the area's version of the "Big Apple"… Let's look around…

WESTPORT, Aug 24 (Reuters Health) - Mice lacking the catalytic subunit of the lipid kinase phosphoinositide-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) spontaneously develop invasive colorectal cancer, suggesting that the protein is a tumor suppressor, researchers report.
The results were a complete surprise, Dr. Josef M. Penninger, of the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, told Reuters Health.
"If we would have talked to 100 researchers who work in this field, they would have thought that the opposite would happen," he said. PI(3)K normally promotes cell growth and inhibits cell death, so it seemed likely that it would promote tumors rather than suppress them. There was also no evidence linking this protein to colorectal cancers, he pointed out.
As they describe in the August 24th issue of Nature, Dr. Penninger and colleagues created mice lacking the p110-gamma catalytic subunit of PI(3)K. These animals had shorter lifespans due to progressive weight loss and the development of colorectal cancers.
The cancers represented various stages of transformation ranging from benign polyps to metastatic carcinoma, Dr. Penninger noted. The tumors looked very similar to human cancers and were also in similar areas of the colon, he noted. Interestingly, the cancers were not associated with mutations or the loss of other genes previously implicated in the development of colorectal cancer.
"It looks like the single mutation did the trick," he said, noting that this did not rule out secondary mutations in other unknown genes.
To look at the relevance of p110-gamma in human tumors, the researchers looked at eight human colon cancer lines and found that none expressed detectable levels of p110-gamma protein. The protein was also undetectable in 3 of 12 primary adenocarcinomas isolated from patients.
The team then added the gene to several human colon cancer lines already harboring mutations in other genes associated with colorectal cancer. Adding either the normal gene or even a catalytically inactive form of the gene inhibited colony formation in vitro and tumor formation in mice, they report.
"It regulates the growth of cancer cells. So, basically, it's a new tumor suppressor for colon cancer," Dr. Penninger concluded. "Even if you have a mutation in other tumor suppressors you can still turn on another brake and cells stop growing. So this is quite nice for the future, I think, because it means if you have two or three mutations, it's not your death sentence. You might still be able to turn on the pathway which is still working."
Why the lack of p110-gamma leads specifically to colorectal cancer is still an open question, but Dr. Penninger suggested that other cancers may take longer to develop.
In the journal, he and colleagues point out that mice deficient in the G-alpha-i2 gene also develop colorectal cancer, and suggest that the G-alpha-i2 protein may be coupled to p110-gamma through a G-protein coupled receptor. "Identification of such a G-protein coupled receptor and downstream signaling pathway that control differentiation and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells may be helpful in the design of novel strategies for colon cancer treatment," they write.

The Ohio Ballot Board on Thursday approved new summary language for Issue 2, which would take the decennial redistricting out of the hands of politicians and task a nonpartisan commission with redrawing congressional lines. The Dispatch reports that the new summary removes factual inaccuracies and included previously omitted information about who would select members of the new citizens commission. Secretary of State and Ballot Board Chairman Jon Husted said the board tried to make the language as generic and concise as possible, but Democrats and voter advocates say the new language is too long and technical and would confuse voters.
Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld became the first elected official in the nation to host an online town hall. The Enquirer reports that Sittenfeld is taking questions on the online tool CrowdHall and by next Friday will have answered them via text or video. He is also asking Cincinnatians to post suggestions as to how they would balance the budget or spend the new casino revenue.
Rush Limbaugh on Thursday theorized that Al Qaeda colluded with President Barack Obama to give up Osama bin Laden to help Obama look good and win reelection.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney defines "middle income" as $200,000 to $250,000 a year. The Associated Press reports that Romney made the comments during an interview broadcast Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America." The Census Bureau meanwhile reported this week that the median household income is just over $50,000. CityBeat's reporting staff wishes management would promote us to middle income level.
Speaking of ABC, they're being sued by Beef Products Inc. for $1.2 billion over a report of the beef filler "pink slime." The beef company says the defaming report disparaged the safety of pink slime.
Obama again apologized for America called Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and called on him and the Muslim Brotherhood to stand with Washington against protesters who are attacking the U.S. Embassy in what The New York Times called a "blunt phone call."
Jimmy Kimmel took the iPhone 4S onto the streets, telling people it was the new iPhone 5, proving that Apple cultists enthusiasts will love anything the company puts out.
DAYTON – Vice President Joe Biden took time at the beginning of his Wednesday campaign stop in Dayton to condemn an overnight attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, while praising the work and courage of American diplomats and promising to bring to justice those who carried out the attack.
"(This) brave — and it's not hyperbole to say brave –— ambassador
was in Benghazi while the war was going on. Our ambassador risked his life
repeatedly while the war in Libya to get rid of that dictator was going on,"
Biden said.
"These men are as brave and as courageous as any of our warriors."
The Tuesday attack took place during a protest against an amateur
short film made in the United States that protesters say insulted the Prophet
Muhammad. U.S Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his staff members
were killed.
"Let me be clear — we are resolved to bring to justice their
killers," Biden said.
The vice president made no mention of Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney's criticism of the Obama administration's response from
the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which he characterized as "akin to an apology" and a
"severe miscalculation," but the vice president quickly segued into politics, alluding
to Romney's relative lack of experience in foreign policy.
"The task of a president is not only to defend our interests and
causes and the cause of freedom abroad, it is also to build a nation here at
home, to which the entire world can look and aspire to be like," Biden said. "Whether
we do that and how we do that, that is literally the essence of the choice we
face in this presidential election. It really is that basic, and foreign policy
is not some sideline to all of this."
The Romney campaign in Ohio was quick to respond, calling Biden's
remarks "hypocritical" in an emailed statement.
"Vice President Biden's appearance in Dayton only served further
damage to his credibility as he reprised hypocritical and widely debunked
attacks against Mitt Romney. Not only did the Vice President mislead Ohioans,
but he attacked Mitt Romney for supporting the same tax policy the Obama
Administration supported just last year," Romney Ohio spokesman Christopher
Maloney wrote.
"With today's Census report showing nearly 1 in 6 Americans
living in poverty and incomes continuing to decline, it appears that misleading
attacks are all the Obama campaign has left to offer 400,000 Ohioans looking
for work."
Maloney's email also fact-checked a claim made by Biden during
his speech. Biden said that he opposed the so-called "territorial tax," which
he said would allow American companies that invested abroad to avoid paying
taxes in the United States.
The email included links to an Associated Press fact checking
article that concludes that Romney's proposal was aimed at encouraging
investment in the U.S. rather than overseas.
Biden spoke to a packed house at Wright State University in
Dayton, with overflow crowds estimated in the hundreds viewing in separate
rooms in the Student Union.
The vice president reiterated many of his usual stump speech
points — the Romney tax plan's negative effects on the middle class, the
benefits of the Affordable Care Act and the Obama administration's commitment to
manufacturing — but much of Biden's speech focused on education. He said a president
Romney would cut funding for Pell Grants, meaning many students in the audience
would have to leave school. He also lauded President Barack Obama's
administration's enactment of a tax break of $2,500 for every family that sends
a child to college.
The usually bombastic Biden wasn't without his gaffes. Twice he
referred to Wright State as "Wayne State," which is in Detroit, despite a large
Wright State University banner displayed in the conference room where he gave
his speech.
The crowd was quick to correct him after the second time he misspoke.
"Wright State, which also includes Wayne State," Biden said after
he was corrected, eliciting laughs from the audience.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Saturday laid out five steps that he said would have America "roaring back" during his first campaign stop since formally accepting the Republican nomination.
At Cincinnati's Union Terminal, Romney was joined on stage by his wife Anne, who spoke briefly, echoing her convention speech meant to humanize her husband.
He said his plan involved encouraging development in oil and coal, implementing a trade policy that favored American companies and not "cheaters" like China, making sure workers and students had skills to succeed in the coming century, reducing the deficit and encouraging small business growth.
"America is going to come roaring back," Romney told the crowd of thousands packed inside Union Terminal.
Not everyone was so impressed with the GOP nominee's promises.
About an hour after the Romney campaign event, Cincinnati Democratic leaders held a news conference to rebut the Republican's speech.
"Much of his (Romney's) speech was like his speech in Tampa, which is where Romney gave Cincinnatians nothing more than vague platitudes, false and misleading attacks without one single tangible idea on how to move forward," said Democratic/Charterite Cincinnati City Councilwoman Yvette Simpson.
Simpson, along with Democratic Councilman Cecil Thomas and Bishop Bobby Hilton, attacked the tax plan put forward by Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. They said it would cut taxes for the richest Americans while raising taxes on the middle class by about $2,000 per household, citing an analysis from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
"Mitt Romney's plan would take Ohio and Cincinnati backwards, and we don't have time to go backwards," Hilton said.
Hilton credited Cincinnati's revitalization and urban development in part on federal money obtained from Obama's stimulus plan.
"We deserve better than this. We deserve better than Romney/Ryan," he said.
Romney would have disagreed with Hilton's assessment of Cincinnati's growth. During his speech he praised Ohio Gov. John Kasich, crediting him with bringing jobs and businesses to the state.
Romney also took time to attack President Barack Obama's record in office. The GOP nominee said in preparation for his convention speech he read many past convention speeches — including Obama's.
"He was not one of the ones that I wanted to draw from, except I could not resist a couple of things he said, because he made a lot of promises," Romney said. "And I noted that he didn't keep a lot of promises."
Romney also criticized what he called the bitterness and divisiveness of Obama's campaign, saying as president he would bring the country together. He mentioned the "patriotism and courage" of the late Neil Armstrong, who was honored in a private service in Cincinnati on Friday.
"I will do everything in my power to bring us together, because, united, America built the strongest economy in the history of the earth. United, we put Neil Armstrong on the moon. United, we faced down unspeakable darkness," Romney said.
"United, our men and women in uniform continue to defend freedom today. I love those people who serve our great nation. This is a time for us to come together as a nation."
The candidate's remarks ignited the crowd of thousands, many of whom wore shirts with slogans like "Mr. President, I did build my business," in response to a remark made by Obama about businesses being helped to grow by government contracts and infrastructure, and "Mitt 2012: At least he never ate dog meat," referring to a passage in Obama's 2008 memoir during which he recalls being fed dog meat as a boy in Indonesia.
Steve Heckman, a 62-year-old environmental consultant from Springfield, Ohio, said he voted for Obama in 2008 but will likely vote for Romney in this election.
He said he'd written "some pretty ugly stuff" about Romney in the past but felt jobs was the No. 1 issue and thought the Obama administration's policies were sending them out of the country.
"The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has, to me, become a little too almost like a fringe group, putting so much pressure on businesses that they are moving to Canada," Heckman said. "Things like air permits, the EPA is taking too long to issue them. It's not just power plants they're affecting, but all manufacturing."
Heckman said he didn't blame the president personally but thinks whoever he put in charge of the agency is being too strict.
"I grew up when the EPA was first put in place in the '70s, and they were, in my opinion, doing God's work," he said, citing the cleaning up of rivers such as the Cuyahoga near Cleveland, which famously caught fire because of pollution in 1969.
"I support the EPA, but it's driving businesses out of here."
Speaking ahead of Romney were U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, Sen. Rob Portman, U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, Ohio treasurer and GOP senatorial candidate Josh Mandel and Republican U.S. House candidate for Ohio's 2nd District, Brad Wenstrup.
"This election is all about changing Washington," Mandel said. "The only way to change Washington is to change the people we send there."
Unfortunately for Husted, a federal judge disagrees. In a ruling today, Judge Peter Economus said in-person early voting must be restored for all registered voters to include the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before Election Day. Husted will now work with county boards of elections around the state to decide the voting hours for those days.
The ruling is the outcome of President Barack Obama's campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party suing Husted to extend in-person early voting. Before the ruling, only military personnel and their families were allowed to vote, which the Obama team and Democrats argued was unfair to non-military voters. With the ruling, everyone — including military personnel and their families — will be able to vote during the three days before election day.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has vowed to appeal the ruling, but, for now, the news comes as a victory to Obama and Democrats in the ongoing struggle over early voting hours.
Recently, Republicans have tried to block any statewide expansion of in-person early voting, citing costs and racial politics. Doug Preisse, chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party and close adviser to Gov. John Kasich, previously wrote to The Columbus Dispatch in an email, "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine."
Republicans defended Preisse's racially insensitive comment by calling it "background" and saying it was supposed to be off the record. But those defenses didn't match Preisse's defense of his own comment, and they didn't deny the substance of the comment. CityBeat covered the racial politics behind early voting in this week's issue ("Republicans Admit Racial Politics," issue of Aug. 29).
Mike Wilson, the Republican candidate for state representative in Ohio's 28th district, also voiced some concerns about the lawsuit. He said extending in-person early voting for everyone could make lines too long for military personnel and their families.
According to emails and phone calls received by WWVA-AM West
Virginia talk show host David Blomquist, miners said they were told that
attendance at the Romney event would be mandatory and unpaid.
As first reported by The Plain Dealer in Cleveland on Tuesday, mine owner Murray Energy Chief Financial Officer Rob Moore told Blomquist that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend." He said that people who did now show up to the event, which organizers say drew 1,500 miners and family members, were not penalized for their absence.
Blomquist said during the radio show that current and former
employees had called and emailed him saying they feel they were forced to go,
had to take off a day without pay and a roll call was taken, which caused some
employees to believe they would lose their jobs if they didn't show up.
"Just for the record, if we did not go, we knew what would happen," Blomquist read from an email he had received. "It is wrong what we were made to do because of the outcome if we don't."
The Columbus Dispatch reported that Murray Energy Corp.
founder Robert Murray attended the Tuesday breakfast hosted by the Ohio delegation to the Republican National Convention. Murray told the newspaper that the decision to
close the mine was made at the request of the Secret Service.
Murray disputed the report that miners weren't paid for the day, saying they were compensated for the hours they spend underground, from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. The mine was re-opened for a second shift at 4 p.m.
"They were all there voluntarily," Murray said of the miners
who attended the Romney event, which was also attended by Republican U.S.
Senator Rob Portman and Ohio Treasurer and Senate candidate Josh Mandel.
"You don't pay people to go voluntarily to a political event. If I would've paid them you would be saying you want it the other way. This is all a bunch of nonsense," Murray told The Dispatch. Federal law prohibits the paying of private employees to attend a political event.
Murray blames layoffs at some of his mines on Obama's
policies. His companies have had a history of environmental and safety violations,
and its Political Action Committee has held fundraisers for and donated to
Republican causes.
Romney's Ohio campaign spokesman disputed that the Secret Service had the mine shut down, telling The Dispatch in an email that "It was Murray Energy's decision to close the Century Mine, not the campaign's or the Secret Services." His comment echoes what Murray CFO Moore said on the radio show, that management wanted to attend the event and they couldn't have miners underground without management present.
For his part, radio host Blomquist took issue with the fact that
the miners lost out on a full eight hours of pay because of a political event.
"My whole point is that nobody should be pressured into attending anyone's political event," he told The Plain Dealer. "If they shut the mine down, why should they lose a day's pay? There are some guys that just want to go to work, feed their family and go home."
Carbon dioxide emissions fell to a 20-year low this year, largely thanks to natural gas that was made cheaper and more plentiful due to the fracking boom in Ohio and other states. The news is a surprising turnaround for climate change activists, but critics worry that methane — a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide — emitted from natural gas operations could still pose a significant climate threat. Environmental groups are generally opposed to fracking, but supporters, like Gov. John Kasich, insist it can be made safe with enough regulations. CityBeat previously covered the concerns and questions behind fracking here.
The Ohio Department of Education has had a rough year, and in a few ways, it's back to square one. On top of the search for a new superintendent of public instruction, the Department of Education has had to deal with budget cuts and layoffs, a new Board of Education member with no college degree or known resume, and the department is now being investigated by the state auditor.
The White House has announced a $30 million manufacturing hub for Ohio that will act as a model for the rest of the United States. The hub will bring together universities and businesses in order to increase growth and collaboration and decrease risk.Ohio has seen an uptick of businesses requesting to work in the state, according to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted. Estimates show 6,137 new entities applied to work in the state during July, up from 5,472 during July 2011. The state has also seen 52,728 new business requests so far in 2012, up from 49,460 during the same January-to-July period in 2011. The news shows some signs of strengthening economic growth in Ohio.
But Ohio's unemployment rate barely moved in July. The unemployment rate remained at 7.2 percent, the same as June's unemployment rate, even though 2,000 jobs were added.The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. EPA, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and energy companies met yesterday to work out how Ohio will enforce new Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The new standards will greatly reduce toxic pollutants given off by power plants, according to the National Resources Defense Council.
Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor claims there's a funding shortage for courts. The shortage could make it difficult for some cases and people to see their day in the courtroom.Environmental groups are asking for more rules for wastewater injection wells, the wells used to dump wastewater produced during fracking. But state regulators aren't sure more rules are necessary.

Americans love computers, but they hate the oil and gas industry.
It's taking more than three days, but the famous Jesus statue is rising again.The Ohio Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit against Gov. John Kasich — who they claim is improperly using his office to campaign for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney — to get the governor to release his schedule of public events.
The ODP's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, contends that Kasich's office either ignored or only partially fulfilled the request.
"It's unfortunate that this Governor is so opposed to transparency and public disclosure that we have to ask the Court to force him to follow the law," ODP Chairman Chris Redfern said in a statement.
"Serious questions remain regarding whether the Governor has improperly used his office for the benefit of Mitt Romney, and it's deeply disappointing Kasich is so secretive he won't even tell the public what he's done or where he's gone."
Kasich press secretary Rob Nichols said the administration doesn't comment on litigation, but dismissed the Ohio Democratic Party's allegations.
"We release public records in accordance with the law, and in fact have already publicly released the governor's schedule six times, including a schedule request to the ODP," Nichols said.
"This is predictable election year politics from the same people who were just rebuked for using public records demands to interfere with the Auditor of State's investigation into possible data manipulation in some school districts."
Ohio Democratic Party spokesman Jerid Kurtz said Kasich's office did respond to one of the seven requests for the schedule, but some of the information in the records was redacted — including an entire week that was blacked out with no explanation.
"Ohio law is very clear, and it states you have to give a specific excuse when you redact something," Kurtz said.
According to the lawsuit and court documents, the ODP requested on July 2 Kasich's public schedule from that date through Aug. 27.
According to a letter to the Ohio Democratic Party from Mehek M. Cook — assistant chief counsel to Kasich — the information about the governor's future plans was blacked out because that information could put him at risk.
"The governor and his office receive threats on any given day and the release of his whereabouts increases security issues surrounding the governor's safety," Cook wrote.
Cook wrote that any information in the records used by the Executive Protection Unit assigned to guard Kasich constitutes a security record and was redacted.
He also wrote that some information that would reveal confidential business meetings and trade secrets that would harm Ohio efforts to court businesses was blacked out. Additionally, information not relevant to the request was redacted.
Kurtz said it's important that the public have access those schedules because voters have a right to know what their governor is doing on the public dime.
The schedules include where the governor is and with whom he meets, but they also show scheduled phone calls and media interviews.
The Ohio Democratic Party worries that Kasich is improperly campaigning for Romney while receiving a taxpayer-funded paycheck, or using public money to have his staff do so.
The concerns stem from statements made by Kasich both in public and on his Twitter account either praising the presumed Republican presidential nominee or slamming President Obama.
For instance, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported that when Obama visited Ohio on Aug. 1 the governor tweeted "On the occasion of the President's latest visit to Ohio, we have a question for him," with a link to a graphic asking "If the President's policies are behind Ohio's success, why is the rest of the country trailing us?"
Democrats claim that Ohio's success relative to the rest of the country are due to efforts by President Obama, while Republicans say Governor Kasich is behind Ohio's faster-than-average recovery.
While the Ohio Democratic Party is suing to have Kasich release his public schedule (Kurtz says Attorney General Mike DeWine and Auditor Dave Yost complied with similar requests in a timely manner) the state Republican Party has also submitted similar requests to Democrats throughout Ohio.
Kurtz characterized the GOP requests as being sent by Kasich's "hand-picked lieutenants in the Ohio Republican Party," though Nichols told The Plain Dealer that the governor had no involvement.
Ohio GOP executive director Matt Borges told the newspaper that the requests were routine.
Still, Kurtz called Kasich's refusal to release his own schedule "hypocritical."
"He's a bully and the only way you can deal with a bully is fighting back."
Preempting the Wednesday homecoming of presumed Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to his alma mater Miami University, the Obama campaign is opening an office in Oxford Tuesday evening.
The guest speaker at the office opening will be Butler County Democratic Party Chairwoman Jocelyn Bucaro who, according to a news release, will contrast the competing visions of President Barack Obama and his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
"The Romney-Ryan budget would devastate the security of senior citizens — ending Medicare as we know it by turning the program into a voucher system and privatizing Social Security," the release read.
Along with a Milford office which is also opening Tuesday, the Oxford office with contribute to the total of nine campaign offices in the region. The Obama campaign has offices in East Walnut Hills, College Hill, Forest Park, Cheviot, Middletown, Springboro and Mason.
Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Ryan will speak Wednesday evening at Miami University's Engineering Quad, according to the Miami College Republicans' Facebook page.
Ryan graduated from Miami in 1992 and was asked back as the commencement speaker in 2009.
Romney is planning a bus tour with three Ohio stops on Tuesday.

The sys admin's daily grind: login mail
Charly often gets suggestions and ideas for his column at community get-togethers. Last week, he picked up a tip for an early warning system that quickly secures login attempts.
Some servers I don't log in to for weeks on end. On machines like this, the danger of intruders being able to log in without my noticing is fairly high. And if attackers do manage to crack open a victim's computer, they will do everything they can to cover their tracks. This includes removing all traces of the login from the logs, which makes it more or less impossible to ascertain the exact time of the attack and – what's more important – the attacker's IP.

SFTP clients?
This works fine for a standard SSH login from another linux host or a windows host running putty, however I noticed it does not log anything if a user is logging in with a SFTP client package such as Filezilla or any other sftp gui application. I noticed this by mistake when looking at the login (auth) logs on a server.
Can someone advise why this is and how I can capture all logins no matter what the medium is?

Little bug when invoke mail command
I found a little bug on your code, instead of using who and pipe stout to mail command, if there are more than one users logged, mail command not works, due to new line characters, so i changed your code to this:
echo 'Login on' `hostname` `date` \
`who` | mail -s "Login on `hostname` \
`who |sort -k 3,4 -r | head -1 | awk '{print $5}'`" \

Food donations can be made at several local businesses such as Casey's, Kroger and the Dollar General Market, where there are large barrels in the front marked for donations. The food drive started July 1 and will run until the end of the month.
The organization has been providing assistance to the Cedartown community for the last 52 years. Entirely financed by local industries, businesses and individuals, the fund runs a community clothing bank and food bank as well as many other services to the needy in Cedartown.
"We're trying to put a dent in the needs of the people," said John Vines, assistant administrator of the fund.
Cedartown native Vines, who works part time at the fund is also a pastor at the Truth and Life Ministries and is also an undertaker, has been working with the fund since March this year. Vines wife, Lisa, heads the fund's Christmas toy drive along with help from the Hon Company.
According to Gail Maddox, also a Cedartown native and the administrator of the organization, the donations are given out to members of the community who go to the office on Ware Street.
Maddox said that they try to give one or two of each item to everyone that comes in and that more food is given to larger families.
Maddox and Vines said that they have seen a growing need in the community due to the economy.
"In the past two months I have seen a big change around here," Vines said. "With the companies around here shutting down, people don't have jobs."
Maddox also commented on a recent food stamp delay, where she said that the fund had a large amount of people lined up to receive food. Vines said that they had calls from some people who had not eaten in days.
Vines also said that he believes that people are more willing to donate because of the current economic crisis.
"We have a lot of good people here in Cedartown," Vines said.
Along with the food and clothing banks, the fund also provides other kinds of assistance such as a toy drive near Christmas and the Community Free Lunch Program. Vines also said that they have some necessities on hand for families whose houses have burned down.
Vines and Maddox agree that their most influential program is their prescription program. The fund can help pay for doctor-prescribed medications for those who need help. Vines stated that though he wishes he could help everybody with all their prescriptions, he asks that people only request assistance one time and only if they are in immediate need of the medications.
"We just paid $249 for one person to get the medications they need," said Maddox.
Maddox said that they have had many life or death situations where they had to get insulin or other life-saving medications for people who were unable to afford them.
To qualify for any of the services offered by the organization, people only need to be able to show that they live in Cedartown. Vines said that they try to help everyone, but they would like to focus on helping children and the elderly.
The fund is led by a board of directors who are in charge of the budget and programs that are available. The money spent by the fund comes from local industries and businesses who donate both goods and money to the organization. Maddox mentioned that their biggest contributors are HON, GEO Specialty Chemical, Kimoto Tech and Polk County Public Service. Other contributors are listed on their website; see the end of the article for the web address.
"I just want to give a great big thank you to everyone," said Maddox. "This has been a very bad year for Cedartown, in my opinion, and our community has really done well by the United Fund."

The victims of an armed home invasion and robbery in a Chesterfield neighborhood near the Piggly Wiggly on Saturday, Oct. 20, included a man, two women and two toddlers. Two suspects in the crime have been arrested and two more have been named, but not yet apprehended, according to Sgt. Wayne Jordan, an investigating officer for the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office.
"We have two in custody, and the investigation is still ongoing," Jordan said Tuesday.
Richard Smith, 30, of Chesterfield, and Maurice Tavezz Anderson, 23, of Charlotte, have been arrested in connection with the crimes, said Jordan.
According to the incident report, shortly after 8 o'clock that Saturday evening it was reported that "two black males came inside the home and pointed hand guns at them and forced them to get down to the floor." The robbers asked one of the victims, "where the money and the marijuana was at and then they started to take other valuable items from the house; also took all the jewelry."
One of the culprits then forced one of the victims to put everything into bags and take it to his vehicle parked outside their mobile home on Marigold Drive.
A friend of the victims happened to pull up in his car at the time of the incident and saw through the kitchen window "two guys pointing guns at the people inside," according to the sheriff's report. The friend ran to the neighbor's house and asked them to call 911.
The culprits fled the scene on foot and bloodhounds followed their scent to the Piggly Wiggly parking lot, where it was lost. According to Jordan, a confidential informant happened to see a rental car in the parking lot that evening that may have been used as a getaway car.
Jordan said the investigation discovered that Maurice T. Anderson had rented a vehicle in Charlotte, N.C.
Several items from the robbery were found between the home and the Piggly Wiggly, including a pocket book and two handguns. "One was a kel tec 9mm and the other was a hi point 45 acp, both were placed together under some brush near the pocket book and other items," said Jordan. "The marijuana was not recovered."
