A quick and accurate detection of bioagents such as toxins and clinically significant biomarkers plays an essential role in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, and even in military. One approach for detecting bioagents is the use of biosensors. Biosensors are biologically derived chemical sensing device that recognizes a presence of a certain molecule and outputs a measurable signal in response. It is composed of two parts: the bio-element that recognizes a specific analyte, or bioagent, and the transducer that converts the recognition into a readily detectable output signal.
Biosensors can be derived from many types of platforms. Perhaps the most well-known biosensor is the commonly used blood glucose monitor. This monitor measures glucose levels by detecting the product of glucose oxidase, hydrogen peroxide, with an electrode. This sensor relies on the natural enzyme glucose oxidase to convert glucose into products that can be easily quantified by electrodes. Such sensors rely on the enzymatic activity of proteins to amplify and convert a signal into forms that can be easily measured.
Modular Platform for Allosteric Switches
Allosteric proteins, proteins that change shape when bound to another molecule, serve as a powerful platform for biosensors. With careful engineering, the ability to change conformation can be harnessed to switch on and off a signal, forming a simple biosensor. By attaching two halves of a transducing enzyme to an allosteric framework, the enzyme's activity can be regulated by the conformational changes of the protein it is bound to, and thus by the concentration of the protein's substrate. Techniques make it possible to vary both the output protein and the substrate of the allosteric framework, in theory allowing modular construction of a biosensor. This goal of modularity, summarized by Meister & Joshi, 2013 in the quote below, is the focus of Harvard BioDesign 2013's project. "Our long-term goal is to develop a modular platform for peptide biosensing in which several input and output domains can be independently optimized using a combination of directed evolution and rational design methods, then combined to create a sensor with the desired input-output functions."
Our starting point for this project is the BlaCaM protein, which is a β-lactamase-calmodulin fusion that exhibts the allosteric switching we hope to build upon. Upon binding to certain peptides, the central calmodulin domain of BlaCaM changes conformation and brings together two fragments of β-lactamase, activating the β-lactamase protein. When the peptide separates from the calmodulin section, β-lactamase splits apart again and activity disappears.
InputThe goal of the input team is to improve the binding and switching activity of a β-lactamase-calmodulin, BlaCaM, fusion protein with respect to a previously non-functional analyte, Staphylococcus aureusδ-toxin. A successful evolution would demonstrate the ability of the BlaCaM switch to sense different molecules, highlighting its potential as a biosensor component. BlaCaM is a fusion of two proteins, a calmodulin center with two halves of β-lactamase attached to the N- and C-termini. Calmodulin displays large conformational changes when it binds to both calcium and varying peptides.
Directed evolution was performed by screening individual purified members of the library for activity toward a previously inactive peptide, Staphylococcus aureusδ-toxin. The Calmodulin portion of the BlaCaM fusion gene was mutagenized randomly using error-prone PCR and cells expressing those mutants were grown in 96-well plates. The expressed BlaCaM library members were purified via a 6xHis tag and screened for δ-toxin-activated β-lactamase activity in vitro. Members showing increased δ-toxin activity relative to a negative and positive control were re-screened to verify, and then combined and mutagenized again to continue a second generation of the evolution. After as many rounds of diversification and screening as possible, the selected library members will exhibit binding to a previously unrecognized peptide.
The output team's goal is to alter the BlaCaM switch to produce a different output signal by replacing the transducer region of BlaCaM (split beta-lactamase) with another protein that will produce a different output signal in response to the conformation change of CaM. Among various forms of output signals--fluorescence, luminescence, electrical signal, enzymatic activity, etc.-- we chose luminescence for the relative ease in detection/visualization of luminescence, and furthermore, we chose to engineer Guassia princeps-derived luciferase (GLuc) as the output domain protein to replace the beta-lactamase region of the existent BlaCaM.
GLuc and GLucCaM
GLuc catalyzes the oxidation of the substrate coelenterazine to produce light of peak wavelength length around 480nm, as shown in the figure below:
Many features of GLuc distinguished GLuc as a highly attractive output domain for the project. GLuc has a strong activity with its luminescence intensity upto 700-fold higher than that of Renilla or firefly-derived luciferases; it is highly stable, as it remains fully folded up to 40˚C and even retains 65% of its activity after 30 minutes of incubation at 95˚C; lastly, it is one of the smallest luciferase (20kD). Thus our goal was to replace the beta-lactamase regions of BlaCaM with split GLuc to produce GLucCaM, a protein switch that activates GLuc activity in response to conformation change of CaM upon target binding.
Design of GLucCaM
There are various parameters to work with in designing the GLucCaM. GLucCaM will need to be designed such that when CaM changes conformation due to the presence of calcium and the target peptide, the two halves of GLuc will come together and output chemiluminescence that can be detected. We will have to optimize the cut site of GLuc (building off the work done by Kim et al, 2009), and optimize the linkers so that the two halves of GLuc will come together when and only when CaM changes confirmation due to the presence of the target peptide.
In order for our protein to work as an effective biosensor, it must be reversible so that the switch can "turn off" and cease to luminesce when taken out of contact with the target peptide. Therefore the GLuc halves must be designed so that they can come apart and return to their original locations when the target peptide is no longer present. Enabling this reversibility will be one of the primary goals of the output team.
During the design of the output domain, we will use an unmodified version of CaM that will change conformation in the presence of calcium and the M13 peptide (as shown by Meister & Joshi, 2013). After optimizing our GLuc output domain, we will fuse it to the CaM input domain that the input team evolved to bind to our target peptide, ∂-toxin. This fused protein then should respond with luminescence to the presence of ∂-toxin rather than M13. We predict that even though these two domains were developed and optimized independently, they will work together in concert and in doing so, demonstrate the feasibility of moduler allosteric protein switches.
Project Goals
- Develop a fast and efficient screening method for directed evolution of BlaCaM
- Engineer new peptide recognition into the BlaCaM protein switch via directed evolution
- Improve the specificity of this switch by also screening against activity to peptides with already known affinity
- Create a GlucCaM that retains the chemiluminescence function of GLuc.
- Explore different structure-activity relationships in GlucCaM
- Engineer GLucCaM to output chemiluminescence specifically in response to the target binding conformation changes of CaM.

Farrah Abraham is not the first 'Teen Mom' star who has found herself in rehab. Jenelle Evans and Amber Portwood also went to rehab, more than once. Farrah Abraham is the most recent Teen Mom star to enter rehab, but she certainly isn't the first.
Farrah's Teen Mom co-star Amber Portwood's first rehab journey was chronicled on the show, when she checked in to a facility in Malibu. For her second stint in rehab, Amber went to avoid a five-year prison sentence, which she notoriously left before completing, choosing prison instead.
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans is no stranger to treatment programs, either. The embattled reality star has admitted to using heroin and marijuana and also entered a treatment facility while on the show. Since then, she has been in rehab at least twice (that we know of).
In addition, 16 & Pregnant alum Ebony Jackson-Rednon entered treatment for the second time after her child was taken from her following a police raid.
So, Farrah is actually joining a long line of stars from the franchise who have had to seek treatment, some of them multiple times.
Do you think that participating in the series has anything to do with the Teen Mom's troubles or do you think it's unrelated?

Depending on how you pay for it, you'll probably have to part with at least fifty quid for Windows 8, and double (or more) for OS X, and they come with almost no software compared to the average Linux distribution. Yet almost all Linux distributions are free as in zero-cost.
This fortnight we've got a simple question for you: would you (or indeed, do you) pay for Linux?
As we all know, Linux is free software, but free-as-in-speech software doesn't have to be free-as-in-beer.
As a paying customer you could expect more say in how the distro was developed. At the very least, you could take your business elsewhere if a distro started heading down a path you didn't like. Perhaps a distro is building a display server named after a space hotel that the financier once stayed in, and you think that their effort could be better spent working on an almost-finished cross-distro solution. Or maybe the developers are working on the third iteration of a desktop environment named after garden ornaments and you feel that it would be more prudent not to wantonly delete useful features. You can of course switch to a different distro as it is, but with less users not currently making much difference to a company's profit, they may not worry too much about loosing a few.
The money raised could be used to pay developers to work on the problems that users want fixed, rather than the problems of businesses or benevolent dictator's pet projects.
Of course, introducing money doesn't magically solve all problems. The cost may put people off trying new distros, especially lesser known ones. Maybe cash would destroy the sense of community that builds up around Linux.
Let us know what you think in the comments and we'll read them out in our upcoming podcast.

It seems that a lot of Linux users donate simply because they do not have to. As soon as you make it obligatory, you're putting people off from the word go.

I paid for Xandros (having already been a Linux user for a while), and just bought a laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled.
I use Linux because it works for me, not because it is "free". I support open source for many reasons, and cost is *way* down the totem pole.

How would that work for the many distos that piggyback on the time and effort put into the big 6 linux distributions?
Many contribute to the development of Linux, freely giving their time and whatever skills they can offer.
Sometimes the skills are coding sometimes support on forums or artwork. Others value the uniqueness of the disto they use and freely donate money.
Charging for Linux would be a reason for those developments that make each distro unique becoming closed source or even copyrighted.
I think it would quickly result to a reduction in diversity.
It would also see the demise of the coverdisk on Linux magazines.......

YES, but paying for open source is multifaceted compared to paying for closed source.
The programme is expected to be there for free, but many (including myself)
* donate for a particular project (e.g. Gnome, LibreOffice)
* buy books written by developers (e.g. Inkscape and Gnome books)
* Sponsor the development of certain features (e.g. Freedomsponsors platform)
* Buy techical support.
* Buy software which is built on open source software and whose developers contribute upstream (e.g. Codeweavers Crossover Office)

I am running CrunchBang Linux, and I send the maintainer a check each year or so to keep him alive and working on updates. If I should ever get back to running Slackware, I will buy the install media from the "Store" for the same reason.
This is a way that I can help keep the distro going.

I DID pay for a Linux flavour...
YGGDRASIL Fall '95 Edition.
2 CDs:-
Install and full source code.
Boxed with a written softbacked Manual...
Cost About 35 QUID IIRC.
Never got it working and gave nelz copies of the two CDs. Not
sure if he ever got it working either...
Which means that after that episode I will not pay for OSS stuff,
especially as I give anything I do away...

Over the years I've purchased copies of the following linux distos (SUSE Linux, Caldera OpenLinux, TurboLinux, Red Hat Linux and Corel Linux) - but each of them were replaced by newer distributions or were discontinued. It's just easier to downlaod the latest distro (or buy a copy of Linux Format magazine ;)) and try it for nothing. There's no sense in investing in a target that is moving so fast and there are too many alternatives with a different look & feel that I end up wanting to change.

I would pay for open source and already have in a way. If you buy an Android device. You've paid. If you buy support from the likes of Canonical, you've paid. If you buy a disc from Canonical, that's paying as well.
We can also pay-in-kind. For example if you recommend your favourite Linux distro or LibraOffice.org, Firefox or any other open source application then you are paying. Advocating for these projects free of charge is a form of payment.
I would pay real money as well. But there are tougher rules on that. For example, while I use Ubuntu, I don't contribute any real money. Canonical have started dataraping our privet data on behalf of Amazon and their response to the criticism was very Gnomeish.
If an open source project wants real money from me, they have to 100% open and upfront about it and I have to be getting what I want with no nasty surprises.

I already make donations to projects I find useful. I also taunt application vendors (Franklin Covey, Adobe, OmniPage, and many others) by notifying them when I donate to Linux-supporting competitors, reminding them that there are paying customers they're ignoring who are happy to fund their open-source competitors to punish their failures.

TSIDOCK (not verified) - July 18, 2013 @ 1:51pm
I think this is only part of the question, since currently. distros for the most part are current, relevant and fully functional. IMHO the desktop struggling to impress. The sector most in need of cash injection is the desktop app. Most importantly the core productivity apps. I think we are in need of central oversight and unification of development. Libre Office is in great shape, but as we back out and look at Gimp, Scribus etc. The development is slow and always non-innovative. Solve this and the free model my be able support itself through sponsorship and donation.
If we adopt a pay model, the tax laws will quickly spoil the meal by favoring a corporate structure and therefor a quartly accountability to stockholders. At that point the motivation to sell crap to get a dollar on the report is too strong. FAIL. For Linux
no no no (not verified) - July 22, 2013 @ 5:29pm
Adopting a pay model would create the same incentives that control Microsoft and Apple. It "might" encourage better development (ATI graphics anyone?) though. But Linux would lose its personality. Everything would get locked down and be patented. Bad idea.
Annonnymous Penguin (not verified) - July 26, 2013 @ 7:54pm
Paying anything for Open Source destroys the entire concept of what open source is all about. A simple Pay Pal donate tab on the app or distro main page for donations is fine, but soliciting or charging goes against everything I have come to think of in open source. Maybe I am a bit Idealistic but I still believe in a free internet and free open exchange of information and ideas, for the simple sake of making something better and learning. It is not a business it is knowledge.
Moseley (not verified) - August 3, 2013 @ 4:58pm
Open source does not mean free, as in, no money to support a projects developers. Open source means an open license to modify, distribute, etc, an application or peace of software and it's source code. Using since the release of FC3, I have learned that while having open source and free from restraint software is cool, it also has it's drawbacks. I would gladly pay for a distribution that was stable, provided the Gnome 2 environment, proprietary drivers and codecs, etc. Look at how full of bugs Windows is, even at 2 to 3 hundred dollars a pop, it still sucks. MS is in the habit of releasing bug filled fluff. Soliciting is not bad if you provide a service/product that is stable and worth while and it does not destroy open source. Pay for provides quality developers, the tools they need, including a variety of hardware to target.

Alcohol lowers a person's inhibitions, which we in Savannah get to see demonstrated just about every weekend on River Street.
Wednesday night, though, proved you've got to unpop the cork to make that happen. Simply gathering between aisles of flavored vodka and Pinot Grigios doesn't have the same effect.
A few City Council candidates gave it a try. They agreed to show up at Five Points Beverage Shop, 2103 Skidaway Road, from 5-8 p.m. for a meet and greet with customers.
Dee Bowers, one of the store's co-owners, said Five Points has such a good mix of customers - black, white, Hispanic, professional and blue-collar - he thought it would be worth seeing whether they would be more comfortable asking questions about city government in a familiar setting.
"People expect to see them maybe at a mall, but not at a beverage store," Bowers said. "We thought 'Why not?' They did it at Pinkie Master's." (Think President Jimmy Carter's surprise visit there in 1978.)
Three of the six candidates for mayor attended: Former Mayor Floyd Adams, former state Sen. Regina Thomas and Alderman Jeff Felser. Russ Sill, who is running for an alderman at-large post, also stood ready to meet the voters.
Too bad almost no one would step forward.
The place was busy enough, but most customers peered curiously as they stepped to the register, nodded a quick hello and shot out the door brown bag in hand.
Bowers says they may try another meet and greet closer to the election.
Too bad they can't make it a product sampling at the same time.

Following from the last episode which explored the food truck industry, Subculture Club presents a behind-the-scenes mini-doc on the astronomical culture of coffee drinking. It's said that 2000 hours of work is dedicated to delivering a cup of coffee from harvest to finish, which explains the passion felt by the coffee aficionados here in delivering the last step with tentative care, before handing over the sentimental brew to their customers. Here, we visit proud coffee roasters on the West coast who pair their sensibility with technical methods in roasting, in addition to getting some insight on why coffee matters to those at the likes of Handsome Coffee, LAMILL Coffee and Blue Bottle Coffee Co., who take great pride in delivering their craft to those visiting the sanctuary.

Is there a way forward for dog shows?
WHEN I was over in the US earlier in the year I was surprised, when chatting with Best In Show Daily editors, that despite the physical distance that separates us, the differing groups and showing systems and the fact that our Kennel Clubs are two very distinct bodies that we share very many of the same concerns for the future and we are experiencing very similar sets of problems as we search for ways to revitalize our sport and attract new enthusiasts.
At DOG WORLD we regularly invite guest contributors to share their thoughts with our readers and this week Rob Hill, whose main breed is the West Highland White Terrier, has written a thoughtful piece about the future of the dog show in the UK. He also makes some interesting comparisons with the past detailing both how entries are dropping and also how the costs of taking part are climbing.
Rather the me try to précis what Rob says, the simplest thing I can do is let you read Rob's own words which are reproduced below and I'd be interested to hear your feedback especially comparing what's happening here in the UK with your experiences in the US and other parts or the world.
We have almost completed the work in analysing the results of our reader survey from earlier in the year and hope to reveal all nearer to Christmas but from what I have seen of the survey some of Rob's suggestions mirror what a lot of the people in the UK – or those who answered our survey questions at any rate – seem to be thinking.
Anyway here's what Rob has to say:
"My first breed along with many others has seen a marked drop in show entries over the last few years. This is a breed which features regularly in the top ten pet breeds and is subject to real competition from puppy farmers and so the breeding of good quality sound animals is vital.
"If we take entry figures for the first 16 shows of 2013 but omit Crufts as it distorts the picture given the overseas entry and the rush to exhibit at a prestigious event, we find a very depressing average of 61 dogs per show. The high being 87 and the low 38. The absentee average is 12 per show with a range of 27 down to five. Leaving out the last ten years – as the rot set in during the early 2000s – I looked at the same 16 shows in the 1980s and '90s. I do not have accurate absentee figures but the entry figures give much food for thought.
"In the '80s the average entry was 125 with a range from 201 down to 78. The '90s saw an average figure of 141 with a range from 250 down to 102 but there were two shows for which I had no comparable figures. Diminishing entries are affecting almost all breeds but should this be a worry?
"Not wishing to cast any aspersions on today's winners but realistically can two CC winners chosen from 50 dogs ever hold up their heads against those who had to beat 200 dogs in order to gain those same awards? The question that we perhaps need to ask is why has our sport declined in this way? It is true that the anti-dog lobby has come to the fore recently but it is yet to have much effect, though that is not to say that we do not need to be vigilant as they may affect our hobby in the future.
"I do wonder how welcoming we are to newcomers? Are we willing to sell someone a 'prospect' if they show an interest? Thankfully people in the '70s were helpful to me and even taught me the basics of trimming the breed. I have a friend who is currently trying to take on a second breed, having been very successful in this her first breed but no one will sell her a bitch puppy – they will sell her a dog puppy but how do you set up a breeding programme based on a male? Presumably this breed is doing so well that it has no need to encourage newcomers – I hope it continues for them! The first dog she bought from a top kennel ended up with one testicle and a bad mouth! She will persevere but so many others would already have been put off. I know that breeding and showing is a competitive sport but unless we are welcoming to those who want to join us then the breed we love will end with us. It must be the breed which comes first or else we are all wasting our time. Remember that we do not own our breed, it has only been lent to us for a short time to try to improve it and then pass it on to a future generation.
"Time has become a very important factor. Despite the invention of labour saving gadgets most of us seem to have little spare time and that spare time seems to be concentrated around the weekends so why do we have so many mid week shows? Most of us have to work in order to support our hobby so holding shows while we are engaged in earning our living will not result in entries. It just leaves the way open to the well off to show their dogs with little competition and make up what can only be described as 'cheap champions'. Going back 60 plus years the sport was the preserve of the wealthy, hopefully we are not returning to those days.
"Cost is a contributing factor as we have already seen there is a link between cost and time. If we look at the costings of my 16 shows entering two dogs at each of these 16 shows which includes two club shows and a group show (lower entry fees) would total approximately £680 without a catalogue, a car park fee or taking a caravan. If my imaginary exhibitor lives in the Birmingham area because of its central location and ease of motorway access, he or she would have travelled 3,630 miles to attend all of the 16 shows. Based 40mpg for a two litre diesel vehicle we would be looking at 91 gallons of fuel at around £6 per gallon – £546 so a total of £1,226 just for entries and fuel. No wear and tear costs have been added on and we have taken enough food and drink with us to avoid the heavy costs on the motorways and at the shows. We have not bought any special shampoos, the crates, bedding and trolley have not been renewed for several years. We have written off the registration costs and any vet fees. We are showing a junior bitch and a limit dog so have not had any pups to defray costs for 18 months and probably will not breed for another 18 months as we only breed when we want something new to show. All in all, cost looks to be a major factor in reduced entries at general championship shows. Might those costs be trimmed? Do we really need benching?
"Most shows these days provide benching plus a large grooming area where the majority of dogs can be found during the competition. This is because the grooming area is usually adjacent to the ring whereas the benching can be a route march away and so exhibitors prefer to keep the dogs in the grooming area as this enables you to watch the judging (a major reason for attending a show) prepare your exhibit and ensure that the dog is safe and in sight at all times. The show committee of the Kennel Club should take a long hard look at benching. The general public do not attend shows to see a dog penned up on its own on a bench, they would much rather see it with its owner and be able to talk to the owner about the dog or the breed. If the benching is removed then there would be more space for the rings and so the number of days over which a show is held could be reduced.
"Then there is the debate about all-rounder judges versus breed specialists has always been a controversial issue. Some breeders will only show under specialist judges and whether we agree with this or not it has an effect on entries which is going to become more obvious as the current situation regarding open shows makes it very difficult for the specialist to gain the required number of classes to allow them to move forward on the various judging lists. The all-rounder will probably have several breeds at a number of open shows throughout the year and so will gain the required number of classes to award CCs much more quickly than the breed specialist. In addition, their 'other breed' experience will help them along. If this ultimately results in the balance between all-rounders and breed specialists moving in favour of the all-rounder then expect entries to decrease even further.
"Open shows need to be considered here too, perhaps radically! Are they necessary any longer? Entries at club open shows are holding up reasonably well, especially when enterprising clubs hold an open show in conjunction with a general championship show. Ironically the complaint from exhibitors against the holding of a club show after completion of judging at a general show is that it makes for a long day! The day is still not as long as it was when the CC entries were close to 200! Do general open shows have a place any more? Are they really any sort of training ground for aspiring judges? Let us imagine you need to have judged 100 dogs in order to be able to award CCs. You have to judge for let us say seven years to fulfil your clubs requirements. If you are very lucky, you might get three offers of four classes per year so at the end of your seven years you will have amassed 84 classes. The question is how many dogs have you actually 'judged'? If the classes have had just one or maybe two dogs entered, how has this given you judging experience? However you do have your 100 dogs so I suppose congratulations are in order! If you are in a breed with a 'persistent' open show exhibitor it may also be that you are judging the same dogs time after time.
"For as long as I can remember people have been calling for open shows to be used as a qualifier for entry to a championship show but for some reason the KC has always balked at this idea. Instead, they went for the Junior Warrant scheme in order to attract people to open shows but seemingly this has not been a success if one looks at a championship show catalogue to see how many dogs display with pride their JW title. Currently under consideration is the notion of having a number of RCCs to equal a CC. Might this be yet another slippery slope to the creation of cheap champions? Surely the idea of this game is to breed a dog to beat the current winners not to accept a second best title holder. According to the KC website, there are currently 24 all breed championship shows excluding Boston and Crufts. There are six national group shows plus four Scottish based group shows and one Welsh group show. A total of 35 opportunities (give or take depending on the group/breed) for exhibitors to gain CCs plus however many club championship shows a breed may have.
"So now let us get really radical and see whether this calendar can be altered to improve geographical area and therefore travel costs while at the same time make entries more cost effective.
"Let's start with the breed clubs. My own first breed has five clubs geographically well spread, Norther Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England and the South of England. Four of these clubs hold one championship show each per year which when added to the general and group shows give us a total of 30 sets of CCs per year. The fifth club holds two open shows, one of the clubs holds two open shows in addition to the championship show and three have one open show in addition to the championship show. We also have two sub group clubs who provide open shows. Now all of these clubs can put on a championship show with an entry fee of less than half that of a general show and still manage to make the show pay usually giving exhibitors a wide range of special prizes and other features which make for a pleasant day out. So why not increase the number of CC licences to all of these clubs? Let the breed clubs each hold two championship shows per year and the sub group clubs one championship show per year, this would cut down entry costs significantly and would increase club funds! It would give us 12 sets of CCs which works out beautifully to one club championship show per month. There is very little extra work for secretaries between running an open or a championship show. Now there are 24 general championship shows to cater for and this very fortunately works out at two per month. Maybe it might be politic to give all breeds CCs at all shows because it makes very little sense that by giving people less opportunities to make up a dog you will encourage them to make more entries! Yes I know breeds have different registration numbers but maybe this might get people to take on some of the smaller breeds if their opportunities are increased. Especially if the costs come down with the removal of benching and car park fees etc. Now we have the 11 group and other shows to fit in so again we can have one per month leaving a space for Crufts. That gives us four shows per month but also allows all of us depending upon our breed free week ends to hold seminars and even open shows to encourage new judges. The KC would have to be responsible for drawing up the timetable.
"Radical enough do you think? Radical enough to be ignored I would imagine. Whatever, something must be done or the sport will wither and all of the efforts of our predecessors to breed these beautiful dogs will be as nothing because unfortunately we do not use them for their original purposes any longer and so the show ring is the only place we can measure our success in keeping type and fit for purpose to the fore."

As your child enters the private kindergarten program at ImagiNation Learning Center, you will notice a shift in philosophy. The Kindergarten Learner is very industrial. There is a strong focus on refining previously developed skills, achieving new levels of understanding, and creating tangible evidence of the learning process. Your child's teacher will become the Project Leader as she guides your kindergartener through a series of challenging yet achievable activities. You will witness his instinctive desire to acquire knowledge; and a growing pride in personal achievements.
As letters and words evolve into sentences and paragraphs, it is vital to create an understanding of the basic rules of print. We use the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL's) for kindergarten AND first grade as well as the 2009 edition of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt "Journey's" curriculum to create a well rounded foundation for reading. Understanding and applying knowledge on how print is organized and read, learning that print makes sense, and developing/applying the basic phonetic principles needed to read and spell - these are the primary goals of our reading curriculum.
One more way to communicate! Kindergartener's are excited as they begin to leave their "marks" on the world around them. The Virginia SOL's and the Journey's curriculum continue to guide us as kindergartener's begin to write. Printing upper and lower case letters independently, writing to communicate ideas; exploring technology for writing (computer skills); printing legibly and confidently are the building blocks for strong writing skills.
It's a two way street! The student will build oral communication skills throughout the year. Many opportunities are provided to initiate and participate in conversations with peers and adults. Listening and speaking vocabularies are enhanced as kindergarteners use number and descriptive words, give and follow two-step directions, and begin to ask how and why questions. The flip chart component of our Journey's curriculum exposes the children to a wide variety of literary forms. Stories, poems, rhymes, songs, and dramatic performances abound!
It all adds up! Kindergarteners are exposed to a variety of math concepts this year, however the most critical concept is counting. The VA SOL's for kindergarten AND first grade as well as the Math Expressions 2011 curriculum provide many hands-on opportunities for children to develop an abstract understanding of the concrete objects in the world around them. Counting and writing from 1-100, grouping collections of objects into 10's and 1's, telling time to the hour and half-hour, and recognizing the value of money are some of the key concepts for ImagiNation Learning Center Math.
The scientific method and investigational process become a more formal technique as your kindergartener becomes an active participant in the discovery of the world around her. Throughout the year your child will learn to describe basic characteristics, classify objects, develop questions, record data, and make predictions. Some of the topics we will explore are: Animal Habitats, The Five Senses, Magnets, Weather, and Scientific Tools.
The primary characteristic of our History curriculum is "A First Look at the Events and People of Other Times and Places". In addition, each student will develop an understanding of maps, globes, and symbols as he examines his own community and applies that knowledge to the history of our nation. We will learn about Powhatan, George Washington, The Statue of Liberty, Historical Holidays, Community & Careers, and much, much more!
This year, your creative kindergartener will be able to express what he has learned in other subject areas through assorted arts, crafts, and projects. Long term and group activities are introduced as a new and exciting way to create! As your child's capability increases, more and more complex materials and methods become available. Clay, weaving, beads, and papier-mâché are all new experiences for the more sophisticated artist!
Being a good citizen involves knowing your rights and responsibilities among your peers and within your community. At ImagiNation Learning Center, the kindergarten teacher guides each child as he begins to learn more about how his actions impact others. The Virginia SOL's for History and Social Science target the following areas and are practiced each day: Taking turns and sharing, becoming responsible for classroom chores, following rules and understanding consequences, and participating in the decision-making process.

The universal symbol of the Christian faith is neither a crib nor a manger, but a gruesome cross. Yet many people are unclear about its meaning, and cannot understand why Christ had to die. In this magisterial and best-selling book, John Stott explains the significance of Christ's cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement.
John Stott's modern classic is as sharp and pertinent as ever it was. It combines an excellent biblical exposition and a characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief with a searching call to the church to live under the cross.

This book answer questions that I don't realize I had; very thorough an analysis of the Cross of Christ
"Excellent book on the Cross of Christ!"
A super informative and thorough book on the cross. He approaches the subject from many different angles and sets forth beautiful truths about God's heart and about the glory of what God has done for us in Christ. Truly the salvation that God has provided for us is totally awesome and amazing. Though this book is quite long I highly recommend it. The only point that I have a substantial disagreement with is where he says that physical healing was not provided in the atonement. I do believe that it was provided. but like I said this is the only major disagreement I have with this book. Other than that this is an awesome book.
"Pithy implications of the cross of Christ"
There's a lot to absorb from this book. I feel compelled to get the written version to highlight the many succinct points Stott makes. I'm sure I will listen to this audiobook more than once. It sometimes seems to follow rabbit trails, but always comes back to the cross. Stott treats a lot of heterodox theological issues in juxtaposition to orthodox ones, so it can be hard to follow if you can't listen straight through in one sitting.
"a quote"
In the words of Alliester Beg, 'Stott will never penn better.'
Christ, he never wavered from his purpose.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – The state superintendent who oversees the process of granting licenses to everyone from physical therapists to nail technicians is now launching an internal investigation, after a board granted a convicted felon a state security guard license. That felon now has another violent charge on his record, kidnapping.
Under state law, people that want to become security guards can't have any felony convictions no matter how long ago they happened. State-licensed security guard Bryce Harper, a convicted felon, was arrested this week. He was accused of pulling a woman into a vacant apartment at Villa Hermosa apartments, where he worked as a guard, and forcing her to touch him.
Now, harper has another felony charge, kidnapping with great bodily harm, to add to a long list of felony arrests and convictions for fraud, burglary, forgery, and a weapons charge. But state law is clear, if you want to be a security guard, you can't have any felony convictions.
Under the section for security guards, it doesn't list any exceptions. News 13 pressed the state's regulation and licensing division for answers.
"One of the questions I've been looking at as I've been doing an internal investigation is, how did we license this guy?" Superintendent Mike Unthank told News 13.
It turns out, the board in charge of granting licenses for guards was playing by their own rules, adopting a "principle" that said after 10 years, they'd consider felons for licenses. But in the process, they may have broken state law.
The board in question is the Private Investigations Advisory Board, currently made up of four people who issue licenses to investigators, guards, private patrol and polygraphers.
Superintendent Mike Unthank says he's not satisfied with the answers he's received from staffers.
"I would even want to know, how did they go about adopting it? Did they have legal advice?" said Unthank.
Where the board came up with that exception for security guards, is not clear. It's not written in state or federal law and the new policy isn't even in writing. There's a federal rule about felony convictions that applies a 10-year rule to certain circumstances in criminal trials, but not employment.
Staffers are also telling the Superintendent that they can license felons under the state's Criminal Offender Employment Act. The act says felonies don't have to be held against job-seekers after three years, but it only applies if the conviction doesn't relate to their profession and it doesn't apply to law enforcement at all.
Under state law, security guards are classified under statutes for "Private Law Enforcement Practitioners."
Unthank says he's going to get to the bottom of this and that the state has now suspended Harper's license.
News 13 wanted to ask United Security, the company that hired Harper, if they also ran a background check on him. They declined to comment except to say Harper has been fired.


text: Some years ago, a friend of mine mentioned that he was using NetBSD for an embedded consumer device. I thought he was nuts, and asked, "Why a full blown OS instead of some smaller real-time thing?" He replied, "because a megabyte of RAM only costs $1." His point was that NetBSD (aside from being cheap itself) doesn't use all that many resources on a price per resource basis in the modern world, and it gives you the full flexibility of a complete UNIX system kernel for your device. Naturally, his device was using flash so that they could upgrade functionality in the field. It's good to want your software to be as small and efficient as possible. Most good software engineers want that. However, you should never forget that in business, there is a diminishing return to that effort, and there will be a point beyond which the businessman will simply say, "You're taking too long to shrink that/make it faster/more efficient/etc. Let's just throw hardware at the problem to make it go away." a datapoint, Erik <email@example.com>

Hello Wendell, Whether you chose one system on another to produce the PDF from XML, there is no reason why formulas should not look with proper quality. It is a matter of correctly placing the characters and embedding the font typesetting inside the PDF. The point is having a quality MathML render engine. Another important aspect to consider is that the MathML editor chosen should be aligned with the render engine. I suggest you check our solutions at www.wiris.com/editor Dani CTO at Maths for More -----Original Message----- From: Wendell P [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: miércoles, 18 de enero de 2012 4:55 To: email@example.com Subject: Typesetting for print Although I didn't see any past discussion of print typography here, there doesn't seem to be any place else to bring this up. I would like to produce mathematical documents in an entirely XML workflow. There are WYSIWYG editors that render SVG and MathML, several good utilities for generating SVG illustrations, equation editors that i/o MathML, and typsetting engines that take XML+SVG+MathML input. My main problem is that I have been unable to get sufficient quality in the typesetting of equations. I would prefer quality like TeX, but would be satisfied with that of MS Word 2007. OpenOffice is definitely not good enough. I'm hoping to get some discussion here on what is available and how to make best use of it. The two commercial engines I've tried are Antenna House Formatter and Prince XML. I was satisfied with both except for the equations. Why is equation layout not better? Is it just a case of not putting enough work into rendering equations, or is it actually harder to develop rendering rules for MathML than for LaTeX? Maybe the capability is there but it takes a deeper knowledge of the system. I looked but couldn't find any discussion along those lines. There are also the really expensive systems like Arbortext APP and SDL's XML Professional Publisher. Do the big systems really render MathML with TeX-like quality? Not that I could afford them, but I'd like to know if what I want is even possible. What else should I consider? I just want to output typeset PDFs from XHTML/HTML5+SVG+MathML files. I have even tried "Print to PDF" in Firefox. The equations were actually not too bad, but I doubt that any amount of fiddling could produce production quality documents. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your ownReceived on Wednesday, 18 January 2012 17:01:02 UTC

By Abdoulaye W. Dukulé
The Perspective
Atlanta, Georgia
April 12, 2004
According to Agence France Presse (AFP) quoting reports from Monrovia, former rebel leader Prince Y. Johnson left Liberia on Friday, April 7 to return to Nigeria. Prince Johnson became famous during the early years of the Liberian civil war when he broke away from Charles Taylor and later captured and tortured military dictator Samuel Doe to death.
When he returned to Monrovia last month at, what he termed as a special invitation of Head of State Gyude Bryant, Prince Johnson said he had apologized to the family of Samuel K. Doe and Liberians for his bad deeds. He later claimed that Samuel K. Doe had committed suicide while in detention. Videos of Samuel Doe being tortured and questioned by John Yormie, a close lieutenant of Prince Y. Johnson (who is said to have been executed by Charles Taylor in 2003) were sold throughout the world in the 1990s and somehow epitomized the barbaric and savage nature of the Liberian war.
Upon his return to Monrovia, Prince Johnson declared that he was planning to run for a senatorial seat in Nimba and that he joined the Liberian Action Party (LAP), the party of Gyude Bryant and the late Jackson Doe, a prominent Nimba politician who ran for president in 1985 and allegedly won the elections rigged by Samuel K. Doe. Jackson Doe was killed by Charles Taylor's NPFL. "The people of Nimba have spoken and I can't turn down their request," Prince Johnson said, explaining his political ambition. He never said which group of Nimba citizens asked him to represent them in the parliament.
As leader of the Independent National Patriotic Front (INPFL), Prince Johnson collaborated with the West African peacekeeping force in the 1990s and appointed representatives to the Sawyer-led interim government (IGNU). He reigned supreme on his Caldwell base and carried out summary executions for any act of indiscipline among his fighters and civilians. In 1992, after IGNU printed a new currency, Prince Johnson, who had caseloads of money looted from banks in Monrovia went into an alliance with Charles Taylor to topple the interim government in one of the bloodiest episodes of the Liberian war in October 1992. After he discovered that Charles Taylor wanted to capture him, he sought refuge with ECOMOG and was flown to Nigeria where he lived ever since.
During the past few weeks, Prince Johnson went into hiding and abandoned his residence on Bushrod Island in Monrovia. He said the brother of Samuel K. Doe, Chayee Doe had threatened to kill him. At one point, he called on his former fighters to regroup and protect him but received no response. He seemed to have reached the conclusion that he could not live in peace in Monrovia, certainly more afraid of the ghosts of the many innocent people he slaughtered than from any real threat of his life.
In August 1990, Samuel K. Doe, Prince Y. Johnson and Charles Taylor constituted what one could term as "the triumvirate of death." The three men and their followers brought the nation to its knees through killings and destruction. It would have been a sad irony that after the death of Samuel K. Doe, the resignation of Charles Taylor, Liberians were to provide Prince Johnson with a senatorial seat in the Capitol. He belongs to a generation of politicians that Liberia must get rid of to move on into a new era of humanity.

Sherdog: MM-Eh! News and Notes from Canada
Sportsnet: GSP's Loss Still Causing a Stir
With Martin Kampmann on the shelf with a knee injury, former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin confirmed that he'll be facing fellow middleweight contender Yushin Okami at UFC 72 in Belfast, Ireland.
From Rich Franklin.com
I spoke with Monte (my manager) Saturday evening and that conversation eluded to the fact that Kampman may be out. Monday,I was told he would be replaced with a top 10 opponent, and Okami was presented as the likely possibility. Later that day we found out Okami signed. From my end, the contract remains the same, and I'm still excited to fight June 16th in Belfast. My camp will make some changes in my training as well as develop a new strategy to approach this fight. However, I was and will continue preparing a fight…not a person.
Martin Kampmann has been forced to withdraw from his June 16th bout with Rich Franklin due to a knee injury suffered while training.
A knee injury suffered during training has forced middleweight contender Martin Kampmann to withdraw from his June 16th bout with Rich Franklin in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A new opponent for Franklin is currently being sought for the UFC 72 main event and will be announced shortly.
Kampmann (15-2) is undefeated in the UFC with victories over Crafton Wallace, Thales Leites, and Drew McFedries. The UFC is currently looking for a replacement and at this point it Yushin Okami seems like a logical choice.
Feel free to comment on who you'd like to see step in for Kampmann at UFC 72.
Sherdog is reporting that Rich Franklin will meet Martin Kampmann in the main event of the UFC's inaugural event in Ireland on June 16th.
It is also being reported that Dana White will officially announce the contest and the event during tonight's UFC Fight Night 9 on Spike TV. On top of that, a possible bout between Forrest Griffin and Hector Ramirez is being rumored.
MMA Weekly's rumor page also has Tyson Griffin vs Clay Guida as a possible matchup for the event as well…

Budget: $70.00
Actual: $86.64
Definitely over budget this week! We saved $17.38, though, so thank goodness for coupons and the Kroger plus card.
Last week… meals didn't really turn out as planned. At all. Who knew it was going to be so difficult to just muster up the motivation to stand for any period of time longer than, like, 2 minutes? Let alone 20-30 minutes for meal prep, haha. This baby is really taking it out of me.
Needless to say, we ended up eating out several times and when I did cook, I didn't make what I had planned. Just didn't feel like it!
This week, I'm hoping for something better. I'm repeating meals I did not get to last week, and adding new ones at the end of the week. All I can say is, thank God I cleaned out the fridge and took the time to prep and properly store the veggies we purchased last week. Otherwise, I'd seriously be annoyed with myself.
Wednesday (03/21) – Crock Pot Minestrone Soup
Thursday (03/22) – Crock Pot Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili with White Cheddar Yogurt Cornbread
Friday (03/23) – Corn, Bacon & Potato Chowder
Saturday (03/24) – Spinach Lasagna Rolls
Sunday (03/25) – Breakfast for dinner. Will probably do waffles or pancakes, breakfast potatoes and turkey bacon
Monday (03/26) – Sweet Potato, Black Bean, Chicken and Corn Chili
Tuesday (03/27) – African Peanut Stew
Looking at my receipt for this week's grocery trip, I'm not exactly sure why I'm so over-budget. The only culprits I can figure are: Organic milk ($2.79) and free-range organic chicken breasts and tenders ($11.24). I also bought a lot of fruit because it sounded super delicious. Being pregnant and going to the store is becoming a dangerous affair… too many temptations!
Yesterday, I got back into the swing of making Alex's breakfast burritos and burgers for lunch. I also made banana bread, and mixed in a bag of mini Reese's cups (which was another splurge, at $3.00 for a tiny bag).
Overall, though, I don't really feel that bad about the overage because last week we were so drastically under budget. It pretty much just evens out between the two. We'll see what happens next week!

At least Alex Neil had a good week.
The Health Secretary, still stinging from claims that he abused his position to protect services at a hospital in his constituency, had faced far more serious questions when official figures revealed health boards were missing a whole range of key targets.
But the big news on Wednesday was forgotten by Thursday as the leaders on either side of the referendum debate shouted random figures at each other in what became – in the face of some competition – one of the most unedifying and dispiriting days yet in this interminable campaign.
Better Together will say the SNP's onslaught on last week's, admittedly questionable,
Treasury report estimating indy costs was not an attempt to clarify but to confuse, a deliberate attempt to pump more untestable figures, statistics and predictions into the debate, to fill voters' heads with so much noise and confusion that more might vote with their hearts. Whatever.
As grown-up, intelligent political debates go, it went.
Meanwhile, our health watchdogs' warning that the NHS is sliding backwards is lost in the mix along with our police watchdogs' warning that our new national force – now, as we have only recently learned, featuring hundreds of armed officers on routine patrol – are searching thousands of kids for no good reason or purpose.
We are about to decide the future of our country and, if politicians can stop shouting for two minutes, we need to think about that. But the here and now of our country is just as important.
And there is a growing fear that what is happening in our streets, schools and hospitals is being ignored as the war of independence rumbles on towards September. There is a growing fear politicians have put things on hold until then. Well, some things can't wait.
Things like ensuring women are better protected from the violent, terrible men they have ended up sharing a life with.
We tell today of the terror and torment inflicted on victims of domestic violence like Liz Hislop and reveal their backing for new laws to punish abusers for years of repeated, protracted, overlapping physical and mental abuse, not just the isolated incidents that can most easily be prosecuted today.
There are clearly questions to be answered about the mechanics of such a law. Whether existing legislation might be retooled for a new purpose? How it might be workable when it is hard enough to win convictions for more clear-cut incidents of violence and abuse? How such laws could be introduced while protecting corroboration of evidence as a cornerstone of our judicial process?
But the biggest question is that, while police and prosecutors may now be doing more to help the terrorised women abused, mentally and physically, by brutish husbands and partners, are we, as a society, doing all we can?
Perhaps the police, the A&E doctors and the undertakers, burying the two women killed by their partners in Britain every week, can tell us the answer.

Hi all,
I have been asked to differentiate the function where . I have not been asked previously in exercises (or taught for that matter) how to differentiate fractions like this. I have used Mathcad to find the solution hoping it would reveal a method to me, but with no such luck. I would really appreciate any help on this. I think it may be a rule for powers prior to finding the derivative that I am missing.

Army Spc. Taylor Kemp visits with some of those who gathered at Eagle Mountain Cycles Saturday, Feb. 16 to welcome him home.
Army Spc. Taylor D. Kemp, 23, received a hero's welcome home from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan Saturday, Feb. 16, at Eagle Mountain Cycles on Main Street in Azle.
Coordinated by David Vaughan of Azle, Kemp is the latest military honoree of Welcome Home a Hero, Vaughan's project to provide such a welcome for any returning member of the U.S. military.
Kemp attended school in both Springtown and Azle, graduating from Springtown High School in June 2008.
He entered the U.S. Army a month later and serves with the 25th CAB.
Currently stationed in Hawaii, Kemp expects to change duty stations and relocate to Fort Hood in May. He will deploy back to Afghanistan in October for a nine month tour with no leave.
Kemp was most recently deployed to Afghanistan in January 2012, returning in Feb. 2013. Prior to that, he served in Iraq from January through September 2010.
Kemp is rated as an Aviation Operations Specialist or P-15 in the Army, and his duties are similar to those of a civilian air traffic controller – he tracks aircraft coming in and out; processes local and cross-country flight clearances; checks accuracy of flight plans and coordinates them; maintains flight logs on incoming/outgoing flights and individual flight records; alerts crash crews of emergencies; and interprets and posts weather reports.
Kemp's mother, Lisa Taylor Leal, said Kemp was home in the area from Feb. 1-21 before returning to his home base in Hawaii.
"He got to spend a lot of time with family," Leal said. "I'm happy he'll be at Fort Hood soon so we can spend more time together."
Anyone who knows of a returning service man or woman is encouraged to contact Vaughan at 817-713-4931. He will gladly make arrangements for a Welcome Home a Hero event for each one.

2 Arian Foster Womens Jersey others put Brian Cushing Womens Jersey on administrative leave
WASHINGTON (CBS5/AP) Phoenix VA Director Sharon Helman and two other VA employees have been placed on administrative leave in the wake of serious mismanagement allegations and an investigation by the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General.Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki said in a statement that Phoenix VA Health Care System Associate Director Lance Robinson and a third PVAHCS employee was also placed on administrative leave until further notice."Providing Veterans the quality care and benefits they have earned through their service is our only mission at the Department of Veterans Affairs," Shinseki said. "We care deeply for every Veteran we are privileged to serve.""We believe it is important to allow an independent, objective review to proceed. These allegations, if true, are absolutely unacceptable and if the Inspector General investigation substantiates these claims, swift and appropriate action will be taken."Veterans deserve to have full faith in their VA health care. I appreciate the continued hard work and dedication of our employees and of the community stakeholders we work with every day in our service to Veterans.""I looked at that with great relief," said retired VA doctor Samuel Foote, who said he first wrote to the OIG twice asking for an investigation into so called waiting lists at the hospital before going to the media. "The first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one."CBS 5 News reported on Tuesday that Helman had been receiving death threats.Phoenix VA spokesman Scott McRoberts would not confirm the volume of threats or how they have been received by phone, email or other mode.Helman and her leadership team have come under pressure in recent weeks after allegations that as many as 45 patients may have died as a result of delayed and inadequate care. The allegations include accusations of a cover up by Helman and her top aides by keeping secret wait lists in an effort to hide the delays in care.In an interview with CBS 5 News two weeks ago, she denied knowing of any wrongdoing or a secret wait list."We look at those cases every day and we have not found that they are linked to any delays in care," Helman said at the time.The third VA employee placed on leave was not named."I sorry I had to throw a lot of rocks at the VA," Foote said. "I did not see any other way to get to the truth without doing it."[RELATED: Veteran: didn kill me, but the VA almost did congressional leadership quickly chimed in. Sen. John McCain (R AZ) issued this statement in the wake of the VA announcement on Thursday:"Given the seriousness and scope of the allegations regarding practices at the Phoenix VA that the inspector general is currently investigating, Secretary Shinseki decision today to place the Arian Foster Kids Jersey leadership there on administrative leave while that investigation is ongoing, is appropriate. We must get to the truth of these allegations, and if they are validated, hold accountable anyone who would violate our solemn responsibility to provide the best quality of care for those who have served and sacrificed on our nation behalf."Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D AZ) said:"Secretary Shinseki decision to place three Phoenix VA administrators on leave during the internal investigation is a step in the right direction. Given the serious nature of the allegations, the VA Office of Inspector General must have the ability to conduct and conclude the investigation Brian Cushing Kids Jersey as swiftly as possible."The VA must restore our veterans and the public trust by caring for our veterans appropriately. Our veterans and their families need answers, and we must hold accountable those responsible."Congressman Matt Salmon (R AZ) said Shinseki "made the right decision" and he looking forward "to a swift and complete investigation" into the allegations.

House approves bill to boost road money
ATLANTA - The Georgia House unanimously passed legislation Monday aimed at boosting state funds for local road projects.
The bill, which now goes to the Senate, would earmark one-quarter of Georgia's 4 percent sales tax on motor fuel to build and maintain local streets and highways. That money now goes into the state's general-fund budget.
The legislation would generate $50 million to $60 million a year for local roads, said Rep. Terry Coleman, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and one of the bill's sponsors. House leaders are hoping to persuade the Senate to waive the 33-day rule and enact the bill.
Getaway car hits auto, killing veterinarian
FAYETTEVILLE -A Fayetteville veterinarian was killed, and two men were in custody Monday after a police chase in Fayette County.
The chase began just before 11 p.m. Sunday after two men robbed a grocery store, police said. Twins Melvin and Marvin Mitchell, 22, are charged with armed robbery and attempting to flee police.
Jason Trotman, 38, was killed when the fleeing robbers' car slammed into the side of his vehicle as he sat at a traffic light, police said. One suspect was slightly injured; the other was taken to the Fayette County jail.
Glennville man killed outside his residence
GLENNVILLE -A 51-year-old Glennville man was fatally shot in his yard Easter Sunday, police said.
Lee Woodcock was shot about 10:30 a.m. in Tattnall County, according to Glennville police. He was an executive for Rotary Corp., a Glennville supplier of outdoor power equipment parts and accessories.
Authorities made an arrest later Sunday but did not release the suspect's name.
Woman jailed for theft to pay nude dancers
ATLANTA -A woman who embezzled more than $700,000 from her nonprofit employer and invested much of it in a private business venture that offered entertainment by nude male dancers was sentenced Monday to three years, five months in federal prison.
Janice Marie Sanders, 36, of Doraville, also must pay $726,529 in restitution and serve three years of supervised release.
Ms. Sanders stole the money while performing accounting duties and writing grant applications for an organization that uses federal funds to provide teachers with mentoring and training. She pleaded guilty in January to embezzlement charges.
