Raychelle Gaston Receives Her Crown
"Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God." 1 John 4:7
On Saturday May 4, at 5:30 pm God saw fit to take his angel back to heaven. On highway 133 that afternoon, Raychelle Leajean Gaston was killed in a three way car accident when the vehicle she was riding in was rear-ended by another vehicle near the Oak Ridge Lodge and pushed into the middle median where it was struck by another vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.
Raychelle was in the right rear passenger seat, according to the state patrol.
Raychelle was on her way to the reception at the Lodge when accident occurred.
Raychelle was loved by everyone in the community. To say that this is a loss is an understatement. She has touched so many people both near and far. "I've known Raychelle for a number of years; I would say almost 20 years," said Rev. John Powell of Truth for Youth.
"One thought came to mind-how do you say goodbye to yesterday? That would be the question that most people are going to be asking, because all we have now is memories. She was very enlightening young lady, and she was a very exciting young lady. She was committed to her church, her belief, her faith and her pastor. I'm a believer that faith ain't nothing but love. If you don't love a person, you can't have any faith in you. She was very much loved. People believed and had the upmost confidence in what she did. I believe God snatched her in time and was left was the body because the spirit belongs to God. So, let us think about two old songs: I Come to the Garden and the other is Blessed Quietness, Holy quietness. She is going to be missed in so many ways most of all because of her perseverance."
Even as a mother, she was astounding. "She was not only my mother, she was my best friend," said Haley Morrissette her daughter. She was a beautiful soul. She was never mean she was always loving. My mother knew how to balance it out. When I was going to prom, I didn't want to go, but she sat me down and said we have been working very hard to get you here and when you go you are going to be beautiful. Needless to say, I went and it was one of the best times I had."
She provided strength and wisdom to her loved ones. "Raychelle was always such a beautiful warm person. She was always giving and helpful even as little kids. We would often fight because she would give someone something they needed instead of looking after herself, "said her sister Dr. Sharon Gaston. "She was my rock. I am so hurt for everybody because she touched everybody. My sister was my heart and my rock."
Raychelle was full of life and always had something to deposit in their lives. "Barbara Hunter said "I've learned from her. I've begun to practice smiling at everyone. No matter how they treat you just smile. She was that way."
Her best friend, Valerie Walker said "Raychelle was more than a friend she was my sister. She was my sister in life and she was my sister in Christ. Her death has left a deep void in my soul. But keep me going knows that she is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Her dedication to church, Deliverance Tabernacle, was total commitment. Raychelle could be found at her church many days and evenings completing projects or just given consoling words to a parishioner. "Elder Tony Grandison stated that Raychelle was with the church at its inception. "Ms Raychelle came in working. She was a part of everything in the church and everyone looked for Raychelle when they had projects going on. Not only at this church but at other churches in the community from churches in Mobile, Atmore, Century, Pensacola, she was willing to help anybody that she could. She was the heartbeat of our church. She was our pastor's right hand man or lady. I doubt if we will ever get anyone to take her place." "Her heart was really in to helping people.
Mother Jamie Hixon said "I've been here about seven years and Sister Raychelle was a caring person. She was the brains of DT. She was always available for anything 24/7. She was also a powerful woman of God. She could bring the word and would often bring the word on Wednesday night and to the Women's prayer group on Tuesday night. She was a woman that loved God and people. She is truly going to be missed."
Raychelle had a passion for God. Her heart was to always serve Him in truth and in spirit. And in truth and spirit she always did her best.
In her professional life, she took the same stance as in spirit. She was one to persevere. She never faltered. "Raychelle was the first African American to have a talk show in Pensacola," said Vernon Watson, owner of WBQP. "Her first show was call 'Focus on the Community'. I remember one day Raychelle arrived to work in a frazzle. I said you can't go on like that. She instantly grabbed a hat and said "let's go". "She never let her personal life get in the way of her professional life". Raychelle shall be missed."
Robert Hill, owner of WRNE stated, "Pensacola was better because of Raychelle passing through. "She was an awesome individual. Nobody was too big or too small for Raychelle."
Raychell was full of life. With that award winning smile and a genuine interest in the things and people around her, she made the world light up. She never tired of finding new avenues to get involved in helping others and passing a bit of wisdom. Never one to speak ill of anyone, she always would seek the best in the bad and forgive wherever necessary. She too, was a humble person.
In her quest for life, Raychelle would sometimes take just a moment to smell the flowers. And when she did her relaxation came with sounds of Earth, Wind and Fire, and jazz. "My sister loved Earth Wind and Fire" said Sharon.
"I had the opportunity to spend four days with Raychelle at the Seabreeze Jazz Festival," said Dr. Earl Crosswright. In the mornings, she would take solitude and walk the beach in the mornings. I was just amazed at how much at peace and how happy she was. That Friday morning, when she returned she was charge up saying how she had so much she wanted to do in the Pensacola area and elsewhere. She was looking forward to making a move to get more things done here." This is a devastating blow that has happened. Raychelle will be dearly missed but I think she will live on in the lives she has touched."
Cheryle Hunter commented "I consider myself blessed to have spent time with Raychelle down in Panama City because it did us an intimate setting in which I got a chance to know her much better. We got a chance to relate on a spiritual level with us both being in ministry. I admired how real Raychelle was. Her yes was yes and her no was no. Each morning Raychelle would get up and walk the beach in prayer. She had a beautiful continence, a beautiful smile and a genuine spirit. She had a heart for people and a genuine care for people. She knew how to laugh, how to have fun and I am truly blessed to have been able to spend time with Rachelle those last days".
"Raychelle was a powerful woman of God'" began Bishop Charles E Young, pastor of Deliverance Tabernacle Church. A lot of what Raychelle did was counseling and mentoring people. She knew the heart of our church was to help people be strengthened spiritually. She would often lay aside the administrative side of the church to minister to people spiritually. That's what I loved the most about her. She would spend a lot of time on the phone counseling and helping people get through the day. She was an Evangelist and an Elder in our church. She just loved people. She had a pastor's heart.
Aside from being an Evangelist and an Elder, Raychelle was the Chief Operating Officer of Deliverance Tabernacle Church. "She was my right hand person," said Bishop Young. Everything that came through our office by way of project and business came through Raychelle. "Everything went through her office. People that came to our church, whether they were in town or out of town, came through her." "We have a tough job of now finding someone that was so important as she was, now."
Raychelle Gaston left this earth but the impact she had on many lives will never be forgotten. She was a stand up person, a lovely spirit and a grandmother who dotted on her grandchild.
She will continue to be an inspiration and a footprint in everyone's life that she touched.
Well done thy good and faithful servant. You too, sit among the ladies with the crown of rubies.

By the time I got registered into this forum, I think I found a work around, but would like to know what happened.
I have been broadcasting using Wirecast as my front end encoder for a year now, and have always used the "Go Live" console to start and stop Ustream broadcasts and recordings. Sometime around the beginning of March, I started getting notifications that my channel was broadcasting , when I had no knowledge. I eventually figured out that I was leaving Wirecast in a broadcast mode, and Ustream would ramdomly pick up the encoder stream and start broadcasting without UI intervention. No recording was being made, so I had to catch the live stream to figure this out. I started the policy to shut wirecast off, and the problem was solved. Now, 2 weeks ago, I found that Wirecast and the Go Live Console would not play well with each other, and would not both recognize the camera concurrently, and the UI no longer recognized when I started a FME stream.
I have just found the work-around is to "assume" that once the Wirecast FME is broadcasting, that I am live on Ustream. I must now go into the dashboard/ channel/ remote to start/stop the recording. This interface no longer allows file naming, or status updates of the Go Live UI, only chat. There is also no broadcast monitor provided. A horrible replacment for what was.
What changed along the way? I have tried my previous setup on multiple versions and PC's and am only happy to report that it isn't MY setup that has changed, but will have to now.
thanx for any feedback.

The Foo Dog came with the marriage. I didn't like him from the beginning, but we were, after all, blending our families. And the Foo, a ceramic Chinese guardian lion — not a dog after all — was definitely a part of my husband's. George said that in Chinese tradition, the Foo keeps evil spirits away. His mean-looking face and menacing expression (that would be the Foo, not George) also kept me away.
My first reaction to the greenish, gritted-teeth lion was similar to walking into a room and finding a large spider on the ceiling. I wanted to run out of the room and shriek, "Get rid of it!"
But, of course, I knew there was no getting rid of the Foo.
Over the more than 25 years that we have been together, I have moved "Fooey," as I came to think of him, from one place to another in our home. When we were first married, Fooey actually spent a harrowing few weeks on our living room mantel. My goal after that was to keep him a part of the household, but in a spot where he did not startle me.
Eventually, he wound up on top of the bookcase in George's home office.
A few weeks ago, Fooey went bye-bye… and it wasn't even my idea. It turns out that my husband bought the grizzly little guy as a gift to himself on his 40th birthday. And he decided to pass it on to his daughter in New York as she turns 40. It is a rather wonderful concept, passing along the keeper-away of evil spirits.
As we cleaned him up for his trip across the country, I noticed something I had never seen before. Fooey is a she, not a he. Unlike the male, she has her right paw protectively over her cub.
So now I understand why George was safe napping in his office all these years with Fooey teetering on top of the bookcase. She had her paw around him.
Happy birthday, Jessica. May the Foo Dog keep you safe, as it has us. And here's a little secret: I am actually going to miss her!

photosource:(Wikipedia, Kola Superdeep borehole)
Kola superdeep borehole, 2007, where the cries of the damned souls in hell are said to have been recorded.
Is this possible biblically?
Yes it is possible. The bible says in the book of Amos 9:2
"Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, whence I bring them down." – KJV
So it is possible to dig into hell according to the above verse
Dr. Azzacove's report to a Finnish newspaper
It is said that a man reported to a Finnish newspaper, ammenusastia, that they had dug into hell and recorded the cries of damned souls. The man who reported to the newspaper, Dr. Azzacove, was one of the scientists who were drilling the Kola superdeep borehole in Siberia, Russia at the time the cries were recorded by use of a special microphone designed to detect tectonic plate movements. The microphone was lowered down through the shaft of the drilling equipment.
The article
The story went as follows
The following article appeared in the well respected Finland newspaper, Ammenusastia
"As a communist I don't believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell," said Dr. Azzacove. "Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of hell!"
Dr. Azzacove continued, ". . . the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit."
"We lowered a microphone, designed to detect the sounds of plate movements down the shaft. But instead of plate movements we heard a human voice screaming in pain! At first we thought the sound was coming from our own equipment."
"But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren't those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans!"
(www.av1611.org, hell place)
Click here to listen to the sounds mp3 format
(Source: "sounds of hell", http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Basics/sounds_from_hell.htm)
A search in the internet reveals very little about Dr. Azzacove. In the internet you find many people refuting this story and others especially those who believe in the bible supporting it. It is not easy to verify the story except if we can trace Dr. Azzacove or at least some of the scientists who were at the site at the time the event is said to have occurred. Anyone who has not done this should not try to convince us that the story is a mere hoax.
That is why I will also not confirm to you that the story is true or not because I have not met any of these scientists. The verdict is yours.
The sound clip investigated scientifically
A team of investigators from Singapore, known as Singapore paranormal investigators went a step further by investigating whether indeed the cries from the recordings were authentic or faked. They analyzed the sound clip scientifically and concluded that the sounds could be authentic but also could be fake and that it was not possible to conclude that the sounds were from hell or not though it could possibly be. This implies that they did not dismiss the sound clip as fake. If they could have done that, the story could have ended there.
In order to test whether the hell sound clip is authentic or fake the, Kenny, the SPI agent who carried out the experiment, put the sound clips under test by using a sound frequency analysis software program called AnalFreq Spectrum Analyzer Ver.1.8 by
Loyola University, Chicago.
The conclusion made from the experiment is quoted below:
"Our conclusion is, either it is true that the voices are from hell but the souls were shouting constantly at about the same tones, same volume and at about the same intervals, or somebody just mixed several voices to achieve this effect. If the answer were the latter, then he succeeded very well in blending many screams together. But the frequencies are too regular and the tones are too rigid.
So what do you believe, it truly came from hell or somebody is playing a hoax?
We like to hear your opinion."
(Singapore paranormal investigators, "investigations into sounds of hell")
Finnish newspaper non-existent!
Searching the internet for the Finnish newspaper called ammenusastia yields no meaningful results except the ones related to recording of sounds from hell. The Wikipedia does not list ammenusastia as one of the newspapers in Finland. This renders a big blow to the credibility of the story. But does this mean that the story is false?
Non-existence of a newspaper called ammenusastia cannot lead us to conclude that the sounds were not actually recorded. According to some websites the original story did not appear first in this newspaper. The fact that it cannot be found on the internet is not a proof that it was not in existence around 1989 when the story started circulating.
Consider the following story. Though the author calls the recording of the sounds a hoax, it can give you an idea of how the story spread:
"though it is impossible to pinpoint when the news story about a well in Russia transformed into a story about scientists breaking into hell or who was responsible for that transformation, we do know that in 1989, the trinity broadcasting network(TBN) aired a "scientists discover hell" story and placed the event as happening in the Kola Peninsula. A Norwegian school teacher visiting California heard that broadcast and took the story back to Norway with him. He then mailed it to a Christian magazine in Finland. In the form of letter from a reader, it reached a Finnish missionaries newsletter. From there it returned to the united states reaching both the TBN people (once again) and other evangelists who then claimed they had gotten it from a respected Finnish scientific journal."
(www.snopes.com , religion section)
Apparition seen after recording of the sounds!
The Norwegian teacher is said to have added some "salt" to the story but this really does not matter very much to us because it is well documented that he did it deliberately and maliciously. He added that an apparition was seen in Russia after the sounds of hell were recorded. It is said that he did this deliberately. This could have created more confusion and could have made the story look more incredible. The Wikipedia reports about the teacher as follows
"Åge Rendalen, a Norwegian teacher, disgusted with what he perceived to be mass gullibility, decided to augment the tale at TBN's expense.[2] Having heard the original story on TBN during a visit to the US, he wrote to the network, originally claiming that he disbelieved the tale but, upon his return to Norway, supposedly read a "factual account" of the story.[1] According to Rendalen, the "story" claimed not only that the cursed well was real, but that a bat-like apparition had risen out of it before blazing a trail across the Russian sky.
Rendalen deliberately mistranslated a trivial Norwegian article about a local building inspector and submitted both the original story and the "translation" to TBN, along with a letter which included his real name, phone number, and address, as well as those of a pastor friend who knew about the hoax and had agreed to expose it to anyone who called seeking verification.
However, TBN did not verify Rendalen's claims and aired the story as "proof" of the validity of the original story." – (www.wikipedia.org, "well to hell hoax")
The 20000F (10930C) temperature
This temperature, as indicated in the article that appeared in the newspaper on sounds of hell, differs from what the scientists who dug the Kola Superdeep borehole, are said to have recorded. According to Wikipedia, the temperatures reached 3560F and this was too high for the equipment to continue working economically.
Do we reject the story because of this difference? I do not think so. It may be true that in the process of circulating the story, it got distorted in one way or another. A good example is when the Norwegian teacher described above added that an apparition was seen in Russia after the recording of the sounds.
In my own view, even if this part of the story on temperature is wrong, it does not provide enough ground for the dismissal of the story as a whole.
Moreover, what actually the scientists reported is that the temperatures became higher than expected at that depth of the earth. They also made a discovery of other anomalies like mud boiling with hydrogen. The high temperature made them abandon digging the borehole because it could have made drilling prohibitively expensive. Temperatures in hell are very high and some of those who have gone to hell and back have reported seeing souls immersed in boiling mud. It seems the scientists literally drilled to hell!
However, note that the centre of the earth is much hotter than 20000F.
Sally Riordan writes:
It is approximately 4000°C at the centre of the Earth. To put this in context:
The centre of the Sun is approximately 15 million°C
The surface of the Sun is 5500°C
Iron melts at 1535°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
Water boils at 100°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
Human skin is comfortable with temperatures up to about 60°C
The highest temperature recorded on the Earth's surface is 58°C (Libya 1922)
It is not possible to directly measure the temperature at the centre of the Earth and four thousand degrees is nothing more than our most well-established piece of guesswork to date. Most modern calculations rely on the fact that we believe the inner core to be made up of iron and nickel that is just about at melting point. It is under a lot of pressure, which prevents it from melting, even at such high temperatures. There is also a lot of evidence regarding how the outer core of the Earth convects and that helps to establish the temperature. However, recently British scientists have suggested that the temperature of the Earth's core may in fact be as high as the surface of the Sun, so the question is still open.
(Riordan Sally, www.physlink.com , ask our experts section)
The centre of the earth is estimated to be about 40000c hot. The distance to the centre of the earth is estimated to be 6,378km. Molten rock (magma) is said to be found 3000km from the surface of the earth. However, scientists drilling the Kola Superdeep borehole, the world's deepest, found boiling mud at just 12.62km down the surface of the earth, an anomaly that scientists have not been able to explain. Hell could be located not very far from the earth's surface.
The following article from Wikipedia describes what Kola super deep borehole is. One of the remarkable things you read here is that the scientists did in fact discover strange things below the surface of the earth one of them being as stated in the article in the words quoted below
"Another unexpected discovery was the large quantity of hydrogen gas, with the mud flowing out of the hole described as "boiling" with hydrogen".
In other words they discovered boiling mud, as described by some of those who went to hell and back. It was much unexpected of them to discover a thing of this nature at such depths of the earth. Note that probably it is at this stage that they stopped drilling which also seems to be the stage described by Dr. Azzacove where they recorded the cries of the damned souls.
At the end of this article the writer says that there has been a "well to hell hoax" but does not tell us why he considers it to be a hoax.
Again the verdict is yours as to the validity of the recording of cries of the damned souls in Kola super deep borehole.
Now read about the Kola Super deep Borehole
Kola Super deep Borehole
photosource:(Wikipedia, Kola Superdeep borehole)
Kola Super deep Borehole, 2007
The Kola Superdeep Borehole (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина) is the result of a scientific drilling project of the former USSR. The project attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 on the Kola Peninsula, using the Uralmash-4E, and later the Uralmash-15000 series drilling rig. A number of boreholes were drilled by branching from a central hole. The deepest, SG-3, reached 12,262 metres (40,230 ft) in 1989, and is the deepest hole ever drilled, and the deepest artificial point on the earth.[1]
Deepest borehole record
The deep core-drilled Kola borehole cannot be directly compared with any other borehole in the world [clarification needed]. The longest borehole record was established in May 2008 by the extended-reach drilling (ERD) well BD-04A drilled by Transocean for Maersk oil in the Al Shaheen oil field in Qatar. This ERD well was drilled to a record measured length of 12,289 metres (40,320 ft) including a record horizontal reach of 10,902 metres (35,770 ft) in only 36 days.[2]
The initial target depth was set at 15,000 m (49,000 ft). On 6 June 1979, the world depth record held by the Bertha Rogers hole in Washita County, Oklahoma at 9,583 m (31,440 ft)[3] was broken. In 1983, the drill passed 12,000 m (39,000 ft), and drilling was stopped for about a year to celebrate the event.[4] This idle period may have contributed to a break-down on 27 September 1984: after drilling to 12,066 m (39,587 ft), a 5,000 m (16,000 ft) section of the drill string twisted off and was left in the hole. Drilling was later restarted from 7,000 m (23,000 ft).[4] The hole reached 12,262 m (40,230 ft) in 1989. In that year the hole depth was expected to reach 13,500 m (44,300 ft) by the end of 1990 and 15,000 m (49,000 ft) by 1993.[5][6] (The longest hole ever drilled is the 12,290 m (40,320 ft) Maersk Oil BD-04A well at Al-Shaheen field in Qatar, but the Maersk hole was primarily horizontal.[7]) However, due to higher than expected temperatures at this depth and location, 180 °C (356 °F) instead of expected 100 °C (212 °F), drilling deeper was deemed unfeasible and the drilling was stopped in 1992.[4] With the expected further increase in temperature with increasing depth, drilling to 15,000 m (49,000 ft) would have meant working at a projected 300 °C (570 °F), at which the drill bit would no longer work.
The Kola borehole penetrated about a third of the way through the Baltic continental crust, presumed to be around 35 kilometres (22 mi) deep, reaching rocks of Archaean age (greater than 2.5 billion years old) at the bottom.[8] The project has been a site of extensive geophysical studies. The stated areas of study were the deep structure of the Baltic Shield; seismic discontinuities and the thermal regime in the Earth's crust; the physical and chemical composition of the deep crust and the transition from upper to lower crust; lithospheric geophysics; and to create and develop technologies for deep geophysical study.
To scientists, one of the more fascinating findings to emerge from this well is that the change in seismic velocities was not found at a boundary marking Harold Jeffreys's hypothetical transition from granite to basalt; it was at the bottom of a layer of metamorphic rock that extended from about 5 to 10 kilometers beneath the surface. The rock there had been thoroughly fractured and was saturated with water, which was surprising. This water, unlike surface water, must have come from deep-crust minerals and had been unable to reach the surface because of a layer of impermeable rock.[9]
Another unexpected discovery was the large quantity of hydrogen gas, with the mud flowing out of the hole described as "boiling" with hydrogen.[10](bolded and italicized for emphasis)
Current status
The site is currently controlled by the State Scientific Enterprise on Superdeep Drilling and Complex Investigations in the Earth's Interior (GNPP Nedra) as the Deep Geolaboratory. As of 2003[update], the deepest active bore, SG-5, is 8,578 m (28,143 ft) and with a 214 mm (8.4 in) diameter.
The project was closed down in late 2005 due to lack of funding. All the drilling and research equipment was scrapped and site abandoned since 2008[11].
Similar projects
The United States had embarked on a similar project in 1957, dubbed Project Mohole, which was intended to penetrate the shallow crust under the Pacific Ocean off Mexico. However, after some initial drilling, the project was abandoned in 1966 due to lack of funding. This failure inspired great successes of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, Ocean Drilling Program, and the present Integrated Ocean Drilling Program.
Well to Hell
This hoax states that a borehole in Siberia drilled into Hell and the voices of the Damned could be heard. The hoax has been circulating through the internet since at least 1997. It became well known after the Trinity Broadcasting Network played the voices on the radio. Trinity Broadcasting Network picked up the story from a Finnish news paper.
(Wikipedia, Kola Super deep borehole)
It is important to note that if hell is indeed located in the centre of the earth according to what people who have gone there and come back say and according to what the bible indicates, then it is possible to dig into it.
The bible at least has one verse that seems to support the possibility of digging into hell. According to the following verse, for hell you dig and for heaven you climb. That confirms that hell is inside the earth for we normally dig towards the centre of the earth.
Amos 9:2
"Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, whence I bring them down." – KJV
However, as I had said before, we cannot confirm or deny that the cries of the damned souls were recorded by the scientists but know that it is possible to dig into hell. Hell exists and it is real.

Correction: Bronx Zoo-Tiger Mauling story
NEW YORK (AP) — NEW YORK (AP) — In an Oct. 15 story about a man who pleaded guilty to trespassing after he jumped into a Bronx Zoo tiger den, The Associated Press, relying on information from the New York Daily News, reported erroneously that David Villalobos will have to spend a year in a psychiatric facility. According to his attorney and the Bronx district attorney's office, Villalobos must complete a year of mental health treatment, but he doesn't have to be institutionalized.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Man mauled by tiger pleads guilty to trespassing
NY man who jumped into Bronx Zoo tiger den gets pleads guilty to trespassing, must undergo treatment
NEW YORK (AP) — A man who was mauled after jumping into a Bronx Zoo tiger den must undergo mental health treatment as part of his conditional discharge.
The New York Daily News (http://nydn.us/1bvHLHh) reports that David Villalobos pleaded guilty Tuesday to trespassing.
The 26-year-old must undergo mental health treatment for a year as part of a plea bargain deal.
Villalobos jumped from a monorail train that tours the zoo's Wild Asia exhibit in September 2012. He scaled a fence to reach the Siberian tiger named Bashuta and was attacked and seriously injured.
According to the court complaint, he told police it was "a spiritual thing." He said he wanted to be "at one with the tiger."

After four years and tens of millions of dollars spent on developing a new channel, WWE Corp. ultimately decided to bet on itself.
Its new network, unveiled Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, is not a traditional channel that will be distributed by pay-TV distributors including cable and satellite companies. Instead, it will be an online network that WWE fans can watch if they shell out $9.99 per month.
By going the so-called over-the-top or OTT route, WWE is bypassing launching a network that would likely have been a slam dunk with distributors. Its shows "Raw" and "Smackdown" generate huge ratings for USA and Syfy, respectively.
Besides getting access to all 12 of WWE's pay-per-view events, including "Wrestlemania," the channel will feature a mix of original programming, reruns of recent episodes of "Raw" and "Smackdown" and older library content.
For fans who buy multiple pay-per-views, the online channel likely makes more economic sense. Typically, WWE pay-per-view specials run about $55, with "Wrestlemania" going for around $70.
In an interview, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said the company had deals in place with major distributors for a linear channel at a price tag of 20 cents per month, per subscriber, which is very high for a new network.
But McMahon got concerned about restrictions that distributors wanted to put on the network with regards to making its content available on other platforms. At the same time, McMahon saw how Netflix and Hulu had built their own digital platforms from scratch and figured it was worth a shot rather than enter a partnership with doubts.
"I said, much to the chagrin of my staff, 'I'm not going to sign it,' " McMahon said.
By going with an OTT offering, McMahon is bypassing being in north of 80 million homes right out of the gate.
For the WWE Network to work, McMahon figures he only needs north of 1 million homes in the United States. George Barrios, chief strategy and financial officer for WWE, said he thinks the network should be able to land between 2 million to 4 million subscribers in the U.S.
Given how loyal the WWE fans are, that may not be a reach.
"At this price point, they should not have any issue getting to profitability," said analyst Brad Safalow of PAA Research . "People tend to underestimate the passion and size of the fan base," he added.
Going with an OTT platform will also make international distribution easier for WWE.
If there is a potential downside, it is what impact the new channel will have on WWE's highly successful pay-per-view business.
But Safalow thinks it will be a good thing in the long run.
"Plunking down $55 and watching a show which effectively becomes a lead-in for 'RAW' has aggravated the WWE fan base in recent months. However, when you lower 10.0% the economic cost to fans the likelihood of dissatisfaction is considerably lower," he wrote in a recent report.
Cable and satellite operators may look to rethink their relationship with the WWE's pay-per-view content because of the channel. However, while revenue will probably take a hit because of the network, there may still be enough casual fans of the WWE to make pay-per-view still viable. For the distributors, it remains found money.
The WWE's decision, if successful, will not only speak to the power of its brand, but also about the continuing evolution of technology and new platforms and how consumers are getting content. WWE is essentially cutting the cord to traditional media. If it succeeds others will take note.

The number of passengers traveling through Bob Hope Airport continued to slide even as the holidays approached in October and November, dropping by 5.3% and 3.2%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2011.
Still, the latest statistics, released in a report to the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority on Monday, were better than September's tally when the airfield reported a 10% passenger decline.
"Our No. 1 goal is [to] reverse that decline to the extent that we can, but the reversal is going to be long, slow and painful for us," said Dan Feger, the airport's executive director.
Bob Hope Airport handled 689,150 passengers in October and November, down from 719,907 passengers during the same period in 2011, according to the report.
From January through November 2012, roughly 3.7 million passengers traveled through the airport, a decrease from around 3.9 million during the same period in 2011.
Revenues generated by parking fees, a significant revenue source for the airport, also continued to fall, dropping by around 7% in October and 5% in November compared to the same period in 2011.
The declining passenger numbers and parking revenues are lagging behind what was budgeted, which will likely impact revenue projections for next fiscal year, Feger said.
Higher parking fees in several of the airport's parking lots that went into effect Tuesday will hopefully help reverse the revenue decline, he added.
But a recent survey by the airport found that 57% of passengers interviewed were dropped off at the airport rather than using a parking lot.
The survey of 751 airport customers also indicated that 86% of passengers who parked used an airport parking lot. Feger added that due to thesluggish economy, more passengers were relying on rides from friends and family rather than paying for parking.

Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant says he's game to write new songs if anybody else wants to.
Plant visited the State Department in Washington on Saturday with the other surviving members of the legendary rock band, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page. They are among seven artists receiving the Kennedy Center Honors with accolades from President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Plant told The Associated Press he was surprised and overwhelmed in receiving the American honor.
The band is often asked if they'll reunite. Plant says he loves traveling the world and wants to write music along the way. He says "if anybody wants to write some new songs, I'm game."
The trio is scheduled to appear Monday on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman."

Thermal Property Measurements of High Pressure Metal Hydrides
Published on
Metal hydrides are potential materials for onboard hydrogen storage. Thermal property measurements are needed to optimize the thermal management design of metal hydride storage systems which require a measurement technique developed with considerations of the thermodynamics of the hydriding process and the pyrophoric nature of the material. In the present work, a transient plane source (TPS) apparatus was integrated with a pressure vessel to measure effective thermal conductivity (keff) and thermal diffusivity (α) of metal hydrides in a high pressure hydrogen environment (up to 275 bar) for the first time. From these direct measurements, the material specific heat (CP) was derived from isotropic property relations. Furthermore, a custom pellet press was fabricated to make metal hydride pellets, including additives for structural integrity and thermal enhancement.
Thermal properties of Ti1.1CrMn in oxidized pellet, oxidized powder, activated powder were measured. Pellets composed with graphite and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) had the highest keff between 6.3 and 6.9 W/m·K. Pellets with aluminum powder had a keff of 1.7 to 3.5 W/m·K, dependent on the compression force applied on the pellets. Oxidized powder keff increased from 0.80 to 1.6 W/m·K with increasing hydrogen pressure from 0.17 to 275 bar. The pressure dependence of keff was attributed to the change in mean free path of the hydrogen gas with pressure. In contrast to oxidized powder, keff of activated Ti1.1CrMn powder ranged from 0.31 to 0.71 W/m·K as a function of hydrogen xiv pressure from 2.9 to 253 bar. While keff was only dependent on the hydrogen pressure, both α and CP data of activated powder had strong dependencies on the hydriding reaction progress. This dependency was attributed to the change in metal hydride lattice structure between the desorbed and the absorbed phase, which affected the phonon transport. The present thermal property study provided data and insights for the implementation of efficient thermal management in metal hydride based onboard hydrogen storage systems.

Juventus seal Romulo loan
The 27-year-old has joined on a season-long loan for a fee of €1million.
As part of the deal, Juventus have the option to make the move permanent at the end of the 2014-15 campaign for €6million, which would be paid over the course of three years.
Verona only acquired full ownership of Romulo last month following a hugely impressive loan period with the club.
The former Fiorentina man made 33 appearances in that spell, scoring six goals.
Romulo was called into Italy's provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup but was omitted by coach Cesare Prandelli prior to their unsuccessful campaign.
He will now link up with Juve as they bid to claim a fourth consecutive Serie A title under new coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Juve have recruited extensively in the transfer window, bringing the likes of Alvaro Morata, Patrice Evra and promising former Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder Kingsley Coman to Turin.

The PlayStation Network has been alive and kicking for nearly five years, and it's been a hell of a ride. There have been games that have scored a perfect "10," service blackouts, and plenty of Platinum Trophies. Now, the time is right for IGN to celebrate the network and pick the 25 best games on the PlayStation Store. IGN Editor Colin Moriarty and myself -- IGN PlayStation Executive Editor Greg Miller -- cobbled together a massive list of worthy PSN games and then whittled the crop down to these 25 games with the help of IGN's editors, the reviewers, and a dart board.
Now, I know you're going to jump to No. 1 and then rage in the comments below, and I'm fine with that, but let's give a little context to our list. These are the 25 games we'd recommend people pick up if they were new to the PlayStation Network. As such, we tried not to double up too much on genres and we locked out games that we loved but no longer work right. (858887.html" class="autolink" >Calling All Cars!, your servers are offline forever. RIP.) Similarly, we love games such as Outland, but as they're brand new at the time this article was originally being posted, it's impossible to know their legacies at the moment.
Released October 15, 2009
Why It Made the List
The real-time strategy genre isn't one that often finds a home on console. But this generation, that trend is starting to shift, especially in the realm of downloadable titles. On PlayStation Network, gamers can find a PSN-exclusive RTS called Mushroom Wars. With its whimsical graphics and subject matter, Mushroom Wars might strike you at first as an easy, carefree foray into a childish fantasy world. But think again. Mushroom Wars is a difficult RTS that requires acute attention to detail, quick thinking and solid strategy. As hands-down the best RTS on PlayStation Network, Mushroom Wars is a solid pick for any gamer looking to lose some time while using quite a bit of brain power.

This is one of the only places in the gorge where I have been abel to find solitude on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Easy climb, and a dissapointing summit... however the cliffs a half a mile or so past the summit made the trip well worth it. While resting at the cliffs, it began to hail on us. Hail... in April... what the hail is that all about???

Drove all the way up to the four-way intersection of logging roads just west/northwest of Greenleaf then made our way up from there to the summit. Also dropped on down the southeast ridge (pretty bushwacky in spots) to check out the cool cliffs above the Red Bluffs. Quite a bit of snow on top but the roads getting in were rough but clear.

Since I was caught up on homework and had a day off, I decided to give this peak a shot. Pretty easy hike to the summit. I saw some minor activity on St Helens while at the top, and watched the cloud slowly dissipate. It was interesting to see how dirty the snow was on St Helens compared to the other big peaks. It was also an interesting coincidence to meet up with the maintainer of this page on the way up.
After this one, I still had some daylight, and hiked Wind Mountain.

Some things that came to me during this hike.
-The road in sucks. Don't pick your nose while on CG2020 or you take your life in your hands.
-All ninjas are mammals.
-Ronald McDonald rules the world from his rainbow Volkswagen hidden in the past.
-Third Eye Blind's third album is a disappointment.

I've wondered about this one for years and finally went up there to find a way in. Weather sucked, spitting rain, wind, but with a few sunbreaks. Fall foliage is at its peak so that helped make up for the weather. This is one I'll be back to soon to give a more thorough exploration.

John Tortorella was acutely aware of the dangers before he did it, but he did it anyway.
Last night at the Garden, the Rangers coach trotted out a first line that might make most general managers blush, a group with such superlative talent they were utterly dominant for the majority of the time they were on the ice together in compiling a 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.
But that group of Rick Nash, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik can only play so much, and Gaborik's hard-working hat trick — which included the game winner just 27 seconds into overtime — barely carried the Rangers above the sloppiness of the rest of the team, giving them their first win in the season's opening three games.
"Your best players need to be your best players," Tortorella said. "That line was really good at times, had some dips as our team did throughout the game, but Gabby came through big.
"It was a big game for him. He had struggled his first couple [games], but he played really well."
Since joining the Rangers as a free agent in 2009, Gaborik has been both canonized and vilified, and some of that came from the mouth of Tortorella, as well. In hopes of creating a team identity based on hardness, sacrifice and aggression, there was no place for a player of Gaborik's ilk, one who more often than not found himself on the outside of battles rather than in them.
"He has changed himself as a player since he got here," Tortorella said. "He might not like me saying it, but he was a perimeter guy when he got here. He was a perimeter guy who did not want to practice because he was sore. He wasn't injured.
"I think he has grown so much mentally in how he conducts himself," the coach continued. "I'll bet you 80 percent of his goals last year were from between five and seven feet by that net. So he is a very talented player that is willing to be there, and when I first met him, I didn't think he was willing to be there."
It was easier last night with the help of Nash and Richards, who both assisted on the first goal, 4:36 into the first. Just over two minutes later, Gaborik added another one after Nash crashed the net and the puck came to him on the far post, where he was set up just outside the crease.
"Richie knows how to slow the game down, he has good vision, and Nash just attracts players to him, he's such a strong body and such a force to the net," Gaborik said. "So I'm just trying to feed off those guys."
After a slew of Rangers penalties — eventually totaling six minors — the Bruins managed to strangle back some momentum, taking advantage when Tortorella was trying to mix and match lines behind his top unit.
Besides the new mix of Taylor Pyatt, whom Tortorella called "one of their best players so far," with Derek Stepan and Ryan Callahan, the bottom two lines became ineffective and began to see less and less ice time.
"Quite honestly, I'm not comfortable with a four-line rotation," Tortorella said.
That culminated in Bruins' forward Nathan Horton netting a low wrist shot through a screen with under five minutes left that tied the game 3-3 and sent it to overtime.
It was there, in a four-on-four, when Gaborik stole the puck and jammed it in to stop the bleeding — for now.
"We find a way to win a hockey game," Tortorella said. "Is everything running on all cylinders? No. We have a lot of things we need to do, so we'll continue to work at it. But it was nice to stop the bleeding."

"I want to come with you!" our son Evan said, his face stretched into a pout so long that a horse wandering through our living room at that moment would have paused and said, "Now THAT'S a long face."
"Mommy and daddy have a date tonight," grandma said, hugging Evan with one arm and shooing us out the door with the other.
We hustled down the stairs, professing our love for our son while trying not to prolong a goodbye that had already taken a turn for the traumatic.
"Evan's not used to getting ditched. That's not really a bad thing," my wife Kara said, trying to make the best of it. It was a rocky start to our first evening out together since, well, since either of us could remember.
We were ready for a break. Living with a three-year-old and a colicky three-month-old offers many joys, but it can be difficult to appreciate those joys when you're blotting the vomit off your iPad. If there's one lesson parenthood has taught me, it's that the quality of one's life is inversely proportional to the number of times in one's household that the word "projectile" is used as an adjective.
"I forgot how much it hurts to wear heels," Kara said as we strolled across the restaurant parking lot. Somewhere, back in our bedroom, her yoga pants were crumpled on the floor, bereft, wondering what they did to deserve being forsaken for the first time in three months.
When the waitress came to take our drink order, we ordered our food, too, rather than waiting for her to come back in a minute.
"Dude, why did we just do that?" I asked.
"Do what?" Kara said.
"We just hurried. We have no reason to hurry," I said.
It's tough to get out of the mindset that someone at your table might start screaming at any moment, and you'll have to flee through a fire door. When the food came out after we'd only been there for 15 minutes, I had to fight the urge to hand the waitress my credit card to speed things along.
"Whoa, this Margarita is strong. I'm definitely going to have to pump and dump when we get back," Kara said.
If you're not familiar with the practice of pumping and dumping, it's when lactating women allow themselves to have some drinks, then use a breast pump later to extract the 70-proof milk, which gets dumped down the drain so that they don't find out if their baby is a mean drunk. This seems like an awful lot of work, but at least it allows new mothers to cut loose just a little bit, since they are the demographic group most in need of a drink.
If you try to explain pumping and dumping to anyone in my parents' generation, they give you a look like you're trying to hook a breast pump up to their cat. Back then, a little second-hand cabernet made a baby more refined.
By the time dessert rolled around, Kara and I had remembered how to enjoy a meal without trying to shovel it down as fast as possible, a lesson we promptly ignored as our spoons dueled over the remaining chunk of chocolate tort.
We arrived home to find the house much more peaceful than when we'd left.
"We promised Evan you'd tell him good night when you got home," grandpa said.
Evan shot up like a prairie dog when we pushed his door open. We'd been trying all night not to think about his huge pout, but he didn't appear to be holding a grudge.
"Love you. Good night," he said, giving us each a hug.
It's good to get out. And it's even better when it's good to come back.

Jenny Wine is making the most of living in downtown Pittsburgh. One of the Point Park freshman's favorite things is to search for music venues around town and find ways to get there.
"I might never get used to all of the hills in Pittsburgh," says this native of Wichita, Kansas, "but I'm proud of figuring out the city."
Wine plans someday to figure out New York City as well.
The bright lights of Broadway are a distinct possibility; she already has a national musical theater award to her credit.
Wine won the "2009 Jimmy Award for Best Performance by an Actress" at the National High School Musical Theater Awards. She arrived in New York City last summer as one of 32 "best of the best" of regional musical theater competitions. After days of rehearsals, master classes and a chance to perform on a New York stage, Wine emerged a winner and received a cash prize, a four-year scholarship to New York University and national recognition for her talents.
Yet what she wants to talk about isn't the national award, but her first opportunity to work with choreographer Kiesha Lalama-White.
Lalama-White, the Point Park University dance instructor and Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera education director, was the National High School Musical Theater Awards choreographer.
"Kiesha was a big motivator for everyone competing," says the student. "She treated us with respect but it was clear she had extremely high expectations." Wine liked the combination and the choreographer's way with students. After the competition, when Lalama-White asked if she had considered Point Park's Conservatory of Performing Arts, Jenny Wine took the question seriously.
With the choreographer's recommendation, Wine soon traveled to Pittsburgh to audition for Jack Allison, Point Park's head of musical theatre.
"When I heard what an exciting sound she had, I knew she would be a real asset to the program," says Allison. "I wanted to make every effort to have her here at our Conservatory."
After reviewing academic transcripts, Point Park University offered Wine a scholarship for academics along with a scholarship for talent. The freshman says everything just fell into place for her.
"I was so impressed with Point Park's facilities, and I felt at home at the school. Plus Pittsburgh felt like the right-sized city for me. I plan to move to New York City someday, but I wasn't ready to do that yet. Pittsburgh is great preparation for New York!"
Wine loves studying and living on Point Park's downtown campus. She raves about her classes — "My instructors have opened my eyes to so different genres of tap" — and her musical theatre courses at the Conservatory. And she enthuses about walking out of her residence hall right into the heart of a city and finding her way to see live music whenever the mood strikes.
So what type of music does the musical theatre major seek out? "Definitely rock and roll," she says with a smile in her voice.
Watch Jenny Wine singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables at the 2009 National High School Musical Theater Awards.

Saturday we told you that the NY Genealogical & Biographical Society Library was being given to the NY Public Library.
The NYG&B has now issued a public statement giving more about the background and rationale for this decision. Since this news release is not on the G&B website – I am posting it here.
NEWS FROM THE NYG&B SOCIETY – July 21, 2008 – Special edition
The big question on the minds of NYG&B members for the past several months has been, "Where is the collection going and how soon will it be accessible again?" We are now able to share the good news with you. We are very pleased to announce it will be going to the New York Public Library to be incorporated with the wonderful genealogical and manuscripts collections already housed there.
Although the transfer of the collection will take some time—it will take up to two years for the G&B collection to be fully accessible at NYPL—the end result will benefit all genealogists. Our entire collection will be accessible on-line through NYPL's database. Offering our catalog on-line had been a long-time goal of the G&B, but the resources necessary to carry out this project always seemed beyond reach. Now through our partnership with NYPL, this dream will finally be achieved. Having our catalog available, just a couple clicks away, through the web will be a boon to our out-of-area members who may not have been able to get to our library often, or at all, to discover what resources we had for them.
Additionally, our new offices will be in close proximity to the NYPL. Instead of a ride in a very slow elevator, the collection will now be just a short walk away. Several of our long-time staff members, all of whom have an excellent grasp of the collection and its value, will continue with the G&B, sharing their knowledge and experience with our membership.
We are committed to our extraordinary collection of books, manuscripts, microfilm, microfiche, maps, etc., and will continue to accept pertinent donations, so please remember the NYG&B when you want to make your unique research available to the wider genealogical community.
Our partnership with NYPL does not end with the transfer of our collection from our library to theirs. We are also committed to join forces to provide top-notch educational programming, as the G&B has in the past, but now with the added benefit of the NYPL's wonderful resources, personnel, and venues. This partnership marks a wonderful, and very exciting beginning for the "new" NYG&B.
Some of you may have seen the article The New York Times published regarding this arrangement on Saturday, July 19, 2008. It contained a factual error in that our Portrait Collection has not been offered to the New-York Historical Society, nor have there been any negotiations with them regarding this collection. Also, although the article did note that the G&B will focus on " . . . grant-giving, tours, lectures, and other means of encouraging genealogical research . . . ," it neglected to mention the commitment the G&B has made to providing first rate educational programs with the added support and input of the NYPL staff.
The following press release is being issued jointly today by the NYG&B and the NYPL:
New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Contributes Its 75,000-Volume Collection to the New York Public Library
Step to Create One of the World's Largest, Most Accessible Genealogical Libraries: A Singular Resource for Researchers of New York Family History
NEW YORK, NY, July 21, 2008-The New York Public Library (NYPL) and the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (the G&B) announced jointly today that the New York Public Library will become the new home of the G&B Society's library of 75,000 published works, 30,000 manuscripts, 22,000 microforms, 1,300 periodicals and digital computer media. Among the materials are 16th and 17th century land records; transcriptions of New York baptismal and marriage records; personal diaries and letters; and census data from as early as the 18th century. Joining the Library's rich and heavily used genealogical and manuscript collections, the merged materials of the NYPL and the G&B will create an unparalleled, publicly accessible resource for those conducting genealogical research. The NYPL and the G&B will co-sponsor educational programs, create links to each other's websites, and collaborate in various ways to make this invaluable resource available to the public."
Combining the two collections will result in an extraordinary resource for people nationwide seeking to learn about family members who were born in New York, lived in New York, or passed through New York on the way to becoming citizens," said David Ferriero, the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the New York Public Libraries. "The G&B collection's great strength lies in its holdings for the 17th to 18th centuries with emphasis on the Dutch and English. The NYPL genealogical collections are strongest for the 19th to 20th centuries and embrace many different ethnic groups."
"New York is the historic center of U.S. immigration. Together, two venerable New York institutions will create one of the world's largest and most accessible genealogical libraries. As a result of this contribution, the wealth of genealogical resources in the G&B's unique collection, integrated with the NYPL's incomparable holdings, will within two years be fully accessible to anyone conducting research in this area," said G&B Chairman Waddell W. Stillman.
The G & B's collections will become part of the Library's Manuscripts and Archives Division and its Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History, and Genealogy. The Manuscripts and Archives Division holds approximately 29,000 linear feet of archival material, with its greatest strengths in the papers of individuals, families, and organizations, primarily in the New York region, from the 18th through 20th centuries.
The Milstein Division is one of the nation's largest publicly accessible collections of genealogical materials and includes hundreds of thousands of books, serials, photographs, microforms, and ephemeral materials in addition to offering free access to a wide range of tools for electronic research.Last July, the G&B announced the sale of its East 58th Street building and reported that it would be moving its headquarters and library to new locations.
Simultaneously, the G&B announced preliminary plans for the restructuring and enhancement of its service offerings and its membership program. Its goal is to transform a 19th century members-only genealogical society founded in 1869 into a 21st century resource for education, research and scholarship serving increasingly Internet-reliant users interested in New York." Once we decided to sell our building and move the library to a new location, 'stewardship' and 'accessibility' became the most important words in our vocabulary," Mr. Stillman continued.
"We sought the strongest possible partner – an organization that would value the G&B collection highly because it significantly complements its own and that would make the G&B library broadly available to researchers worldwide. Equally important, it had to have the professional staff and resources to appropriately house, catalogue, and properly conserve the collection.
The NYPL has precisely those resources and a collection that fits extremely well with ours." The G&B's library on 58th Street closed June 1st, and its books, manuscripts, and other media are being readied to be moved to the NYPL starting in August.

DeKALB – The Ben Gordon Center Prevention and Education team, in conjunction with the DeKalb County Partnership for a Substance Abuse Free Environment (DCP/SAFE), invites the community to take a visible stand against drugs by celebrating Red Ribbon Week from Oct. 23-31.
Red Ribbon Week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs, while encouraging parents, educators, business owners, and other community organizations to promote drug-free lifestyles.
This year's celebration week will include a prescription take-back event from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at the new DeKalb Police Department, 700 W. Lincoln Highway. In collaboration with local schools, DCP/SAFE partners and the city of DeKalb, red ribbons will be placed throughout the city.
"Red Ribbon Week encourages our entire community to adopt healthy, drug-free lifestyles," said Capri Smith, program manager for prevention and education at the Ben Gordon Center. "The campaign brings together parents, schools and businesses as we look for innovative ways to keep kids and communities drug-free."
The red ribbon symbolizes a commitment to reducing the demand for illicit drugs. In 1985, Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique S. "Kiki" Camarena was killed by drug traffickers. Shortly after his death, people from his hometown of Calexico, Calif., began wearing red ribbons to remember him and commemorate his sacrifice. Congress established Red Ribbon Week in 1988.
"Research shows that children are less likely to use alcohol and other drugs when parents and other role models are clear and consistent in their opposition to substance use and abuse," said Matt Miller, prevention specialist for the Ben Gordon Center Prevention and Education team.
For more information, visit bengordoncenter.org/prevention/ or contact Capri Smith at 815-756-8501, ext. 104.
