SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) – Synopsis: When a group of overly-curious teens discover the writings of Sarah Bellows, the daughter of a wealthy man who is rumored to have been hidden and locked away in the family's mansion. They become a part of the legend suggests that children who dared to visit the home and speak to Sarah through the mansion's walls were never seen again.
Review: I've always enjoyed a bit of a fright and in elementary school there weren't many books that could get under my skin like the first two volumes of Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark." To a certain degree, Schwartz was my generation's R.L. Stine. Not that "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" feels like either of the Goosebumps theatrical releases. Those were action films with creepy characters; this film is a straightforward horror experience. However, like the Goosebumps films, "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" takes a handful of the short stories featured in Schwartz's book and ties them together to make a long, mostly cohesive story.
Set in 1968, against the backdrop of the Vietnam war and the presidential run of former Vice President Richard Nixon, there are some real-world politics bubbling within the narrative. When the characters talk about going out to trick or treat one last time it has more to do with being drafted than it does with graduating from high school. Racism is ever-present and influences the actions of some of the film's characters.
There are numerous genre tropes that are in play in the script including rural cornfields, bullies, outcasts, incredibly intelligent teens with limited common sense, grudge-holding ghosts and bizarre monsters.
"Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" isn't subtle, there are many moments when it shows too much, but that likely has to do with the fear that the targeted audience, younger teens, might not otherwise be able to catch on to what exactly is going on.
The film has a nice sense of atmosphere, doesn't entirely rely on jump scares, features some genuine tension and a fair amount of scares. The performances are a little campy, but lead actress Zoe Margaret Colletti is quite good (and I love that they haven't covered up her freckles)
I liked "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" as an adult; I would have loved it as a kid.

Id be glad if someone can explain whats wrong with my code below to achieve the goal of this exercise:
Write a times table programme. The programme should ask a user to input a number. This number is then used as the times table. So if the user enters 10, the 10 times table should be displayed. Your Output window should look something like this, when your programme is run.

"It is prophesied that when the end comes, it will come in darkness: a catastrophe all foresaw but few believed. Most of us will battle too late against the chaos, but not the few, the radical few, who obey no discipline. Unencumbered by conscience, they prepare ruthlessly pursuing their own preservation. If they survive, the rest of us perish." ~ Frank Black, MilleniuM
Roosters and Owls
Lately I have been quiet. My reasons for being mostly quiet stem from the fact that I just feel there is little to be said that would be heard or of use.
We have rushed headlong into the silliness of cyberwar and the media as well as the government and military have capitalized on it all incessantly.
Pundits write about how we need to take control of the situation and that there are many players *cough Iran cough* that need attending to, and since big O decided to let the digital cat out of the bag, well, we best get moving.
Others take a more reasoned approach on the issues and warn that it's not as bad as you might think, but it could easily go very sideways if we don't pay attention to what we are up to. Frankly though, the cacophony in the news media and blogosphere just tend to be amplification modules within the great and grand echo chamber and it makes me just want to step away.
The title of "Roosters and Owls" comes from a favorite TV show of mine from the late 90′s called "MilleniuM". In it, the protagonist, Frank Black, is a part of a shadowy group called the Millennium Group. Later episodes came to a head when there were two factions within the group at war with the other.
The "Roosters" believed that the apocalypse was coming and soon, while the "Owls", believed as the quote under the ouroboros says, that it is "Still dark of night", meaning that it is not yet the apocalypse and stood for a reasoned approach.
I feel today that much the same kind of feeling and or thinking processes seem to be going on with regard to cyber warfare. We have people like Dick Clarke making many sound bytes about how we are just totally fraked, while others like Jeff Carr have a more moderate voice. In the end though, I see Clarke more than I see Carr on the television or on the radio, and thus, I think that the roosters are winning the day, and this worries me.
Added to this is the echo chamber that is the internet. Not only is the internet the source of all the trouble (i.e. hacking and cyber warfare being carried out) but also it is a biggest and best source for not only good information but bad. It is up to the viewer to choose the veracity levels that they feel appropriate to so much of the content online, but, unfortunately all too many people just believe that if it's on Wikipedia, then it's true.
So we have lobbying going on between factions and all too often, the roosters are the ones being heard crowing in the early morning, with their cry that the apocalypse is upon us, our water supply has been hacked, our power grid is a spiders thread away from utter collapse and you, you my friend, are about to be plunged back into a lifestyle that is more akin to a zombie apocalypse than 21st century living.
All of this, all of the hopelessness of it, as I see it, just makes me want to shake my head and walk away. Let the roosters and owls fight it out as I just sit back in my lair waiting for the end. For surely, they will be the arbiters of the apocalypse that they all are so fervently talking about. It's a feedback loop and they are busily fueling the engines, like the coal shovelers on the Titanic. It's full steam ahead, and it's progress.
Bullocks. "We are racing toward an apocalypse of our own creation".
Drones, Malware, Hackbacks, Counter-Strikes. Sock Puppets, and Wholesale Invasion of Privacy
So here we are… The technology has allowed the governments of the world to exploit them. Those being exploited, us. Drones have been approved for domestic surveillance use, talk of hacking back against aggressors has started being advocated for private companies never mind the US government and military.
We have citizens, and amorphous (alleged) groups like Anonymous hacking anything and anyone because they feel that they can and should, and we have the government watching us all increasingly more and more with technologies that can slurp down all of our packets and inspect them for, well, whatever they like under the current mandates of the law with impunity.
We have created and are rapidly creating even more of a digital and privacy apocalypse of our own creation…
When will it end? Will it ever really end? Often lately I have looked on and wondered about the cyclical nature of the whole thing and thought "why bother?" Why bother creating malware or seeking zero days?
Human nature of course is to be inquisitive so there is that, but, it seems rather rapacious now and not driven solely by the inquisitive nature that we all have. No, there seems to be more avarice involved and a darker side. We are doing this all to ourselves and we are allowing it all to be carried over and codified by the governments of the world as a means of control and power. We have no one else but ourselves to blame really.
Until such time as we can collectively grow up, we will be saddled with this sad state of affairs from the legal to the corporate to the governmental aspects of our digital nightmares.
I guess the real question is how long do we have before this just goes beyond control altogether? Will it be when the first true AI is born in the digital soup and decides that it needs to free itself of us to truly be free and sentient? (I know, many a movie has been based on this trope).
Will it be when we finally destroy the system with our own machinations? Or better yet, actually do go to kinetic world war over poorly attributed attacks on infrastructure, like in the dreams of Mr. Clarke (assumed) that he see's pass nightly in front of his lidded eyes?
I don't know, I don't have a time machine nor am I in the plot of "Inception", however, I suspect that all of this will come to no greater good. It will not feed the hungry or stop the decay of our global systems of weather and life itself.
We are monkeys with a new iPad and we are just completely focused on pressing the big red button in hopes a banana will pop out somewhere…
Ingressus Tenebris
In the end, I am finding it all very tedious and worrying. I think that our collective time could be better spent reading a classic work of literature or helping the sick and homeless...
Instead I look at the usual traffic of the Twitberger's afflicted on my feed and see the same thing hour upon hour, day upon day. Misinformation, frivolous arguments, and the endless sales pitches for the new whizz bang appliance that will save us all from the Red Chinese…
So, I am going away for a while... I will pass in and out mind you as I can take it, but overall, this is all counterproductive. It's time to just focus on things that really matter and what I can really have effect over…

With St Patrick's Day right around the corner, here's an Irish riddle. What is the color of green, has hundreds of legs, long brown hair and a pot of gold? Read more to find the answer.
Most small business owners work extremely hard for many years before they find success; or their pot of gold. And, along the way, they inevitably encounter their fair share of ups and downs. But, sometimes, they get lucky.
Actually, there are some surprising similarities to St. Patrick's story, the patron saint of Ireland and small business success. He was sold into slavery at a young age. As many of you may know, it is not uncommon to feel enslaved by one's business because there is just too much to do and too few resources.
After six years, Patrick escaped slavery and studied in the monastery for 12 years. It was here that he realized his mission was to convert pagans to Christianity. Ultimately, he became very successful which upset the competition, the Celtic Druids. Similarly, small business owners can find their "calling" by studying the marketplace to learn what unique benefit they can deliver that fulfills a deeply felt need or want. This will help them develop the focus and discipline they need to achieve success.
Although there is no evidence to support some of the folklore about St Patrick including how he raised the dead and drove all the snakes from Ireland, he did use a three-leafed shamrock in his sermons to explain the three separate elements of the Christian Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). In spite of this fact, many people associate the shamrock with luck. Even though there is no denying that luck may have played a part in the story of every successful business, small business owners who rely on luck are taking an enormous risk.
Small business owners must also be able to integrate three separate, but essential elements if they want to create a successful and sustainable business:
- Do something better, faster, cheaper than the competition or create a new category.
- Be the easiest company to find when people look for your type of product and/services.
- Become an indispensable asset to customers, prospective clients and the community.
What some of you may not know is that St Patrick's birth name was Maewyn and in his youth, he was a pagan. He changed his name when he converted to Christianity. Sometimes, it is necessary for a small business owner to change the name of their business when they want to change directions.
Today, St Patrick's Day is a secular rather than religious celebration. Wearing green, drinking beer and pretending to be Irish are all part of the fun. So, just for fun, what is the history behind this Irish phrase commonly used in American language, "Beyond the pale"?
Many people feel celebrating St Patrick's Day in Saint Paul makes them feel a bit more Irish. Saint Paul, according to Wikipedia, was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. The settlement originally began at present-day Lambert's Landing, but was referred to as Pig's Eye when Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant established a popular tavern there.
Since then, the Irish have played an integral part in the founding and the growth of the city. Assisted by Archbishop John Ireland, among the thousands of Irish who immigrated to Eastern cities in America, a large percentage ended up settling in Saint Paul.

This essay will also appear in the next issue of Pool.
Image of Williamsburg Waterfront by C-Monster, April 30, 2006.
Several weeks ago, I was leaving a party in Park Slope. As I waited to cross the street, I recognized two places across the way and realized I had eaten meals at both. I had brunch with a friend in the cafe at the corner last year. I met another friend for dinner two years earlier at the Thai restaurant at the address next. I remembered two separate phone calls with each friend explaining how to get there from the 7th Ave station. The second call, and the second walk from the stop didn't remind me of the first. It took a third visit to that intersection, and from that vantage point —across the street —to discover the venues were neighbors. Two pleasant but very different conversations came back to me at once.
I will never know if some of the places I remember from these early New York trips have been torn down or exist on streets I haven't walked by again yet. I refuse to ...

For July's Secret Recipe Club, I was paired with Emily of Life on Food. Emily moved around the States a lot growing up, she even spent a semester in Paris (lucky!) and now spends her time looking at buildings (slightly jealous – part of me has always wanted to do things related to architecture). She love cooking from scratch and experiencing life with her Husband, who loves to help her. Lucky girl! 🙂
I had a bag of peaches that I bought at the farmer's market this week that I needed to use up. I looked at Emily's delicious peach recipes: Peach Mango Lassi, Peach and Blackberry Crisp, and Peach and Blueberry Buckle. In the end, I chose the buckle as it looked amazing and is the easiest to send along with Mr. Bean to work.
I made a few changes, like making it gluten free and using less sugar. I meant to make it vegan, but I couldn't find coconut yoghurt at the store and didn't have time to go to the health food store, so I said "what the heck" and used goat yoghurt and an egg. I used some almond flour to add some protein to offset some of the sugar, so it totally makes this a legit breakfast. 🙂
Gluten and Refined Sugar Free Peach Blueberry Buckle (with Vegan Option)
1/2 c. tapioca starch
1/4 c. potato starch
1/3 c. each almond, rice and millet flour
1 tsp. xanthan gum
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. dairy free margarine
1/2 c. coconut palm sugar (heaping)
1 egg or egg replacer
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. yoghurt (I used goat, for vegan use coconut)
4 peaches, cut into 8 slices
1 pint of blueberries
1/2 c. sliced almonds
- Preheat oven and line an 8 x 8″ pan with parchment paper
- Whisk together all the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat the margarine and sugar together until fluffy (2 – 3 min). Add the egg, vanilla and apple cider vinegar and beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low, add half the flour, then the yoghurt and the remainder of flour, mixing well between additions.
- Fold in the sliced peaches and blueberries. Scrape into your prepared pan and smooth out.
- Sprinkle the sliced almond over the batter.
- Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until multiple toothpicks come out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy with or without (coconut) ice cream!

It's been a long and tortured road for the first feature film director by erstwhile pop star Madonna Ciccone, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Madonna's film, which tells the story of the romance between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII, has been picked up for distribution by Weinstein, which mercifully released an official synopsis:
W.E. tells the story of two fragile but determined women – Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson – separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson. But Wally's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, W.E. intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D'Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The press release also included a pair of mutual admiration society quotes from Madonna and Harvey Weinstein:
"W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made. I've wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me. I'm looking forward to working with Harvey and The Weinstein Company on this film," commented Madonna.
"Madonna has really come into her own as a filmmaker with W.E.," said Weinstein. "She's taken one of the most famous romances of the 20th Century and brought it to life in a smart, sexy and thoroughly modern way. It's a terrific addition to our US release slate."

Yes, the Alpha 1 of Mandriva 2012 has recently been released. Its code name: Tenacious Underdog!
I dowloaded the i586 .iso to give it a try on a Virtual Machine and see if it works better than Bernie Lomax, its predecessor, did. By the way, the TP ran like a charm in my humble opinion. Can the underdog outperform Bernie?
This is what I saw:
Installation process:
|Say hi to the crazy penguin
|I like the penguin family! It looks like mine...
This is a nice feature. Here, it is possible to install many different packages right from the start. Some might think that this scares newbies away. Well, this non-technical Linux user simply drools over the options and checks all that seems interesting.
|This is familiar territory
After completing some intuitive questions, the distro takes some time to install...
|Oops! The Spanish installation failed...
*UPDATE: Per Øyvind Karlsen has fixed this issue already!
|The English install worked perfectly
This time, everything went as expected.
After the install, you see the same elegant log in screen that Mandriva 2011 brought. Paradoxically, my account avatar is a cat.
|You guessed it; I'm not a dog person...
|This is the default desktop
|The desktop wearing something more appropriate
Final observations:
This release includes KDE 4.9.0. It's good to see Mandriva sporting new technologies. Best of all, this desktop environment seems well implemented, which is far more important than just having it.
In the office section, I miss the rest of the LibreOffice suite (only Writer and Calc are present). Not a big deal; you can download the rest from the repos.
Ah, but my personal test is the factor that determines if I will continue being a Mandriva user or not. Can it handle Japanese input?
The answer is YES!
|iBus + Anthy work flawlessly.
To Per Øyvind Karlsen and all Mandriva developers, thank you for your hard work. I'm truly looking forward to seeing the final 2012 release. Judging from the quality of TP and Alpha 1, I'm sure that Mandriva 2012 will conquer my PC, putting an end to the long reign of Mandriva 2010.2.

The Gauss series (15.2.1) converges for . For it is always possible to apply one of the linear transformations in §15.8(i) in such a way that the hypergeometric function is expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions with an argument in the interval .
For it is possible to use the linear transformations in such a way that the new arguments lie within the unit circle, except when . This is because the linear transformations map the pair onto itself. However, by appropriate choice of the constant in (15.15.1) we can obtain an infinite series that converges on a disk containing . Moreover, it is also possible to accelerate convergence by appropriate choice of .
Large values of or , for example, delay convergence of the Gauss series, and may also lead to severe cancellation.
For fast computation of with and complex, and with application to Pöschl–Teller-Ginocchio potential wave functions, see Michel and Stoitsov (2008).
A comprehensive and powerful approach is to integrate the hypergeometric differential equation (15.10.1) by direct numerical methods. As noted in §3.7(ii), the integration path should be chosen so that the wanted solution grows in magnitude at least as fast as all other solutions. However, since the growth near the singularities of the differential equation is algebraic rather than exponential, the resulting instabilities in the numerical integration might be tolerable in some cases.
The relations in §15.5(ii) can be used to compute , provided that care is taken to apply these relations in a stable manner; see §3.6(ii). Initial values for moderate values of and can be obtained by the methods of §15.19(i), and for large values of , , or via the asymptotic expansions of §§15.12(ii) and 15.12(iii).
For example, in the half-plane we can use (15.12.2) or (15.12.3) to compute and , where is a large positive integer, and then apply (15.5.18) in the backward direction. When it is better to begin with one of the linear transformations (15.8.4), (15.8.7), or (15.8.8). For further information see Gil et al. (2006c, 2007b).
In Colman et al. (2011) an algorithm is described that uses expansions in continued fractions for high-precision computation of the Gauss hypergeometric function, when the variable and parameters are real and one of the numerator parameters is a positive integer. The accuracy is controlled and validated by a running error analysis coupled with interval arithmetic.

Book Review - Wake in Fright by Kenneth Cook
Cook's interrogation of the myth of mateship in the Australian outback follows John Grant, a Sydney born and educated school teacher, who does a stint in a microscopic town in Outback Australia. Looking forward to a six week escape in Sydney he passes through Bundanyabba. Little does he know he will not be getting to Sydney, instead falling into the dark wonderland that is 'the Yabba'. This is a land of drink and death, of blokes and brutality, and after one night Grant finds himself a broke drifter. Desperate, he passes through the beer glasses of several hosts, experiencing new nightmares with each of these new mates. Upon sobering he realizes the peculiarity that meant you could "sleep with their wives, despoil their daughters, sponge on them, defraud them, do almost anything that would mean at least ostracism in normal society, and they would barely seem to notice it. But refuse to drink with them and you immediately become a mortal enemy." This is the heart of Cook's narrative, the harsh, drunken masculinity of 'mateship' and its disregard for all else. Like many literary works of the 1970s by male authors the female characters are underdeveloped, mere placeholders and window-dressing. But in the world Cook creates there would be little for them to do, apart from being used and abused. This savage land leaves Grant at the mercy of the two foes he comes to distrust the most, with beer becoming his saving grace and violence his only salvation. An antidote to the heroism of "Banjo" Patterson's "Man from Snowy River", Cook rounds out the myth that is the Outback. Wake in Fright is a worthwhile read for anyone wanting to really understand all about Australia. Andreas

Quinn: Easter 'Oustanding Choice' to Lead U of I
The University of Illinois' new president is getting high praise from Governor Pat Quinn.
He calls former faculty member and administrator Robert Easter an outstanding choice to lead the university for two years after Michael Hogan officially steps down July 1st.
"I know he has the utmost respect of all of the students, the faculty, and the administration." Quinn said Monday. "And it's all about the students. We shouldn't forget that. The university is set up for the education of men and women who are going to make a difference in the world."
Hogan resigned Thursday amid faculty concerns about his leadership. Quinn says he knows Easter well. The two recently traveled together as part of a trade mission to China.
Quinn also wished Hogan well, calling him an excellent scholar who simply didn't work out.
"It was probably the right thing to do to have this change," the governor said. "And I think it's important for us to move on and not to dwell on the present."
Meanwhile, Quinn urged the Illinois Senate to end a controversial legislative scholarship program after passing the House last week.

Home design and home listening were born to team up. Either one is perfectly nice on its own, but it's when you combine the two that you can really start to transform the mood of your home.
We linked with the sweet minds at Homepolish to get some quick tips from an pro interior designer on how to refine any space for a better listening experience.
Homepolish designer Tali Roth breaks it down:
Sofa is Key
"Everyone uses music in different ways. Some love having it in the background no matter what they're doing, some use it for entertaining, some while cooking and some use it to relax and unwind on the sofa. My favorite relax and unwind sofa is 'The Cloud' from Restoration Hardware. It is literally the most comfortable piece of furniture. Perfect for the ultimate music session."
Get it lit
"Music creates mood and atmosphere, just like lighting. Be sure to fill your space with ambient lighting and loads of dimmables to create the perfect chilled out vibe."
Turn the Music into Design
"If you're a diehard music fan, consider creating a montage of your favorite bands or display your collection of vinyls in a creative way."
Keep it Consistent
"Make sure you install Sonos all over your home for a consistent experience – indoor to outdoor and in the shower!"

A 27-year-old New Jersey woman was arrested for allegedly stabbing her identical twin sister to death. After responding to a report of an unconscious woman at the Centennial Village Apartments, Camden police found Anna Ramirez bleeding from a stab wound. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
A few hours later, police identified and arrested a suspect in the case, Anna's twin sister Amanda Ramirez. She is being held on one charge of first-degree aggravated manslaughter. She is awaiting a pretrial detention hearing where prosecutors plan to ask that she be held without bond until her trial.
Officials have not released any details about the case or speculated about the motive for the killing.

The Enigma of Ted Bundy: Did He Kill 18 Women? Or Has He Been Framed?
By Cheryl McCall
PEOPLE Magazine
January 07, 1980
He was a son any mother would be proud to call her own, a handsome six-footer who became the first in his family to graduate from college, then began studying for a career in the law. Women found him charming, his nieces and nephews adored him. At a Seattle crisis clinic, he was a sympathetic counselor; as an assistant director of the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Commission, he wrote a rape-prevention pamphlet for women. When he chased and caught a purse snatcher in a shopping mall, the governor of Washington wrote him a letter of gratitude. "Everything I saw about him would recommend him," says his ex-boss Ross Davis, former state Republican chairman. "If you can't trust someone like Ted Bundy, you can't trust anyone—your parents, your wife, anyone."
Beyond the serenity of Bundy's early years, however, lurked a grisly turn of events. Today, at 33, Ted Bundy has been convicted of two brutal murders in Florida and is scheduled to go on trial next week for a third. In addition, his name has been linked by police and prosecutors with the deaths of 15 other women in three states. The young law student of inestimable promise, authorities suggest, is one of the bloodiest mass murderers in U.S. history. Yet even as Bundy stands convicted and sentenced to die, few of his friends have lost faith in his innocence. They believe he has been caught in a flimsy web of circumstantial evidence and that law enforcement officials have made him the fall guy for a series of killings that could not be solved.
Bundy's bizarre odyssey began in Burlington, Vt., where he was born to 19-year-old Louise Cowell in a home for unwed mothers. Four years later he and his mother moved to Tacoma, Wash., where Louise married Johnnie C. Bundy, a cook at Madigan Army Hospital for the past 28 years. Bundy adopted Ted, and the couple had four more children of their own. "We are a family that has always tried to raise our kids in the right way," says Louise, 53. "We weren't the kind that sent their kids off to Sunday school and then went back to sleep."
Apparently stamped in the all-American mold, Ted was a Boy Scout who had his own paper route, started a small lawn-mowing business with a friend and won a place on the high school track team. "I admired him tremendously," says his sister, Linda Bussey, 26. "I always wished I had some of his brains and his knowledge." Graduating in 1965, Bundy entered the University of Puget Sound near his home and later transferred to the University of Washington. Dropping out in 1967, he took an unpaid position as Seattle chairman of the New Majority for Rockefeller and attended the 1968 GOP Convention in Miami. Re-enrolling at the University, Bundy graduated in 1972 with a degree in psychology.
Although he worked briefly as a counselor in a psychiatric hospital, Bundy's natural vocation was politics. Joining Republican Gov. Dan Evans' reelection campaign in 1972, he infiltrated the camp of Evans' Democratic opponent and later became an aide to Ross Davis. "He was everything you looked for in an assistant," says Davis. "He had a good analytical mind, and he worked well with people. He would have had to be a complete Jekyll and Hyde if what they say is true."
During the summer of 1974 Bundy left his home state and moved to Salt Lake City, where he entered the University of Utah Law School and worked nights as a janitor. In 1975 he was baptized a Mormon, but his troubles had already begun. While he was living in Seattle, eight young women had been murdered. Witnesses told police that on July 14, 1974, the day two of the victims disappeared, the women had been approached, separately, by a man with his arm in a sling. He said his name was Ted and asked for help in hoisting a sailboat onto the roof of his Volkswagen. A police computer check revealed that of 2,877 owners of light-colored Volkswagens in Seattle, one was Ted Bundy.
Nearly five months later, in an apparently unrelated incident, Carol DaRonch, 18, was abducted in Murray, Utah by a man identifying himself as a police officer. When DaRonch began to struggle, the man slapped a handcuff on one of her wrists and threatened her with a pistol. She managed to jump out of the car, but he pursued her with a crowbar until she ran into the street and desperately waved down a passing motorist. Her assailant vanished into the darkness.
Nine months later Ted Bundy was arrested for the first time. Alone in his Volkswagen at 2:30 a.m., he panicked and sped away when a patrol car beamed its lights on him in suburban Granger, Utah. The policeman chased him down and, searching Bundy's car, found a crowbar, a pair of handcuffs, an ice pick and a mask fashioned from pantyhose. Coincidentally, the arresting officer was Bob Hayward, brother of Capt. Pete Hayward, who was investigating the DaRonch kidnapping—and the murders of three other women—for the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department. When Bob mentioned his encounter with Bundy, the name rang a muffled bell with his brother. In November 1974 a former fiancée of Bundy's, Liz Kloepfer, had called Pete Hayward twice from Seattle, urging him to consider Bundy a suspect in the Utah crimes. Hayward made a routine check, but saw no reason to go any further. Now he began to wonder.
"I keep telling myself—though I don't want to—that Ted is involved," Kloepfer told Det. Jerry Thompson, who investigated the case for Hayward. "Too many things point to him." She said that Ted resembled a composite drawing of the suspect; that he hadn't been with her on the days the Seattle women had disappeared; that he had a fake arm cast in his apartment; that his sex drive dwindled in 1974 after the crimes began; and that once, inspired by a copy of The Joy of Sex she had given him, he had tied her up and nearly throttled her.
Seattle police had taken a similar statement from Kloepfer, but discounted it as a jilted girlfriend's suspicions. She later recanted most of her allegations, and no prosecutor has ever' put her on the witness stand. Thompson, however, was convinced he had found his kidnapper. He showed Bundy's picture to DaRonch three times, but each time she failed to identify him. Then, remarkably, on Oct. 2, 1975 she picked Bundy out of an eight-man line-up. Later, on the witness stand, DaRonch said her assailant had dark, slicked-back hair and a mustache, held his gun and brandished the crowbar in his right hand, drove a light blue VW and wore patent leather shoes. Defense witnesses testified that Bundy, who has light brown hair, never wore a mustache in Salt Lake City and never dressed in patent leather shoes. His VW was sand-colored, and he is left-handed. Taking the stand in his own behalf, Bundy said he had panicked on the night of his arrest in Granger because he had been smoking marijuana and feared a police record would jeopardize his legal career. He pointed out that the handcuffs in his car were rusted and useless and said he had found them while cleaning an apartment. Nevertheless Judge Stewart Hanson found him guilty as charged—Bundy had waived his right to a jury trial—and sentenced him to one to 15 years in prison. "There is no question but that Carol DaRonch could not identify Ted Bundy and that the police worked on her until she could," says Bundy's Utah attorney, John O'Connell. "I have never seen a conviction in a serious case on less evidence."
There was even less evidence in the next case brought against Bundy. Searching his room during the DaRonch investigation, Detective Thompson found a ski brochure and a map of Colorado. The names of two ski lodges were underlined in the brochure; one was the Wildwood Inn near Aspen, where a vacationing nurse named Caryn Campbell had disappeared Jan. 12, 1975. Her battered corpse was found in a snowbank five weeks later. Credit card receipts showed that Bundy had been in the area on the day Campbell vanished. A prosecutor claims that two hairs taken from Bundy's car were indistinguishable from Campbell's, but concedes that "a hair is not like a fingerprint." Perhaps the strongest testimony linking Bundy to Campbell came from a woman who said she had seen him in the Wild-wood Inn the night Campbell disappeared. But during a pretrial hearing, the witness was unable to identify him.
The Campbell case, however, never got to court. Awaiting trial, Bundy escaped by wriggling out of his jail cell through a ventilation duct. He eventually wound up in Tallahassee, Fla., where he moved into a rooming house called the Oak. "He was an eerie person," recalls fellow roomer Russell Gage. "He wanted us to tell him everything, and he would tell us only what he wanted us to know." What Bundy had become, according to police, was an adept car thief who sustained himself by stealing cash and credit cards. Outwardly he seemed one of the more respectable tenants at the rooming house. When two women students at Florida State University were savagely murdered four blocks away, several male residents of the Oak became suspects. Bundy was not one of them.
The killings occurred shortly after 3 a.m. on Jan. 15, 1978 when a man entered the Chi Omega sorority house, beat and strangled Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy, both 20, and bludgeoned two other women with an oak limb. The two survivors remembered nothing of their attacker, but as he ran down the back stairs the intruder met Nita Neary, who was returning from a date. She told the police he was dark, about 5'8″, wearing a blue ski cap and carrying a club. Within an hour another woman, Cheryl Thomas, who lived six blocks away, was bludgeoned and raped in her bed. She survived but remembers nothing.
After the murders Bundy remained at the Oak for nearly a month. Then, on February 9, Kimberly Leach, 12, disappeared from a Lake City, Fla. junior high. Her decomposed body was located eight weeks later. Credit card receipts indicate that Bundy spent the night before the murder at the Holiday Inn in Lake City, about 100 miles east of Tallahassee. At the time, prosecutors charge, he was driving a white van that fit the description of one later found in Tallahassee, near a spot where an orange VW was stolen shortly after the Leach murder. On February 15 a Pensacola policeman noticed the car and gave chase. After a struggle he subdued the driver and found 21 stolen credit cards in his possession. Not until 36 hours later did the police discover that their prisoner, who had given a false name, was a recent addition to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list—Ted Bundy.
Indicted five months later, Bundy went on trial last June for the Chi Omega murders. The key evidence against him, jurors say, was bite marks on Levy's breast and buttocks, which the prosecution claimed could only have been made by Bundy. "You're not talking about actual dental impressions," objects Lynn Thompson, one of the defense lawyers. "You're talking about a bruise, it's not a science—it's an art, if anything." A hair indistinguishable from Bundy's was found in a pantyhose face mask left at the Thomas apartment, but defense experts testified that the hair was equally indistinguishable from that of four policemen and medical technicians who arrived at the scene soon after the attack. In Bundy's behalf, his defense offered a powerful but esoteric piece of evidence. Analysis of a semen stain on Thomas' sheet and chewing gum in Levy's hair indicated that the women's assailant was a "nonsecretor"—part of the 20 percent of the population whose bodily secretions do not reveal blood type. Bundy, on the other hand, is a proven secretor. Curiously, members of the jury either disregarded that testimony or misunderstood it. "To me, the evidence said he was a nonsecretor, and it fit right in," juror Dave Alexander Brown told PEOPLE. Commented another juror, Mary Russo: "Evidently the defense was trying to prove that the blood or whatever they could prove out of the semen was not his. I really didn't pay too much attention to that." Many jurors, apparently unaware that Bundy had been a fugitive, felt his suspicious behavior the night of his arrest was proof of his guilt. "You don't normally just run from a policeman," said juror Vernon Swindle. "That kind of made me think he did what they said."
After only six hours of deliberation, the jury found Bundy guilty of the attack on Thomas and of murdering Bowman and Levy. Judge Edward Co-wart sentenced him to die in the electric chair. Many courtroom observers, however, believed that the defendant had been unfairly convicted. Among them was Ruth Walsh, a television anchorwoman for Seattle's ABC affiliate, KOMO. "I still don't know if he's guilty," she says, "but I don't think it was proved. The prosecution admitted they had a weak case. I just want to see a fact, a fingerprint, something that can't be disputed."
Previously, while researching a five-part series on Bundy, Walsh discovered that seven other men could be linked circumstantially with some or all of Bundy's alleged crimes. "There are five possible 'Teds' in the Seattle area alone," she says. The list includes a convicted sex offender who was living in Seattle at the time of the murders there. He then moved to Aspen, where he took a job at Snowmass, the resort where victim Caryn Campbell was staying. His co-workers remember him as violent, especially toward women. He didn't show up for work on the day Campbell was murdered; the next day he picked up his paycheck and left town. (Subsequently he was given a lie detector test and passed.)
Walsh also learned that another suspect in the Seattle slayings was living in Salt Lake City at the time of the DaRonch kidnapping. Later convicted of shooting a woman to death, the suspect owned a gun and handcuffs and matched DaRonch's description of her abductor—dark, slicked-down hair and a mustache. "The thing that makes me want solid proof against Bundy is that we have uncovered these other people," says Walsh. "They fit the pattern of evidence and description in an almost uncanny way."
Perhaps more substantial evidence against Bundy will be introduced at his trial for the murder of Kimberly Leach, in Orlando. The case is expected to focus on the recovered white van that Bundy is said to have stolen. Last February 8 a 14-year-old girl was stopped in Jacksonville by a man driving such a van. The man identified himself as a fire department official, but fled when the girl's older brother appeared. Suspicious, they copied down the van's license number, and that plate was found on the floor of the orange VW that Bundy was driving when he was arrested. The girl and her brother have identified Bundy from photographs as the van's driver, and credit card receipts show he was in Jacksonville that day. In the van police say they found bloodstains of the same type as the murdered girl's, and leaves and soil matching those at the site where she was buried.
Whatever the outcome of his latest trial, only one man knows the truth about Ted Bundy, and he has never wavered in proclaiming his innocence. (Psychiatrists who examined him have disagreed on his capability for such violence.) Alone in his state prison cell, Bundy amuses himself by leaving food on a paper plate at night and watching the mice scamper and nibble. "So I'm going a little bit crazy," he says. "Maybe it's something you expect to read in some novel about someone living in the Bastille—but it's real." He says he often thinks about home and "a big cold pitcher of beer," but insists he will never give in to despair. "I've survived this long," he says firmly. "I'm sure I can survive indefinitely. I won't let it get me down. I won't let it break me. I won't let it grind me into dust."

WE tv's NEWEST ORIGINAL SERIES SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON FOUR-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SANYA RICHARDS-ROSS & HER SUPER BOWL CHAMP HUSBAND, AARON ROSS
"Sanya's Glam & Gold" Premieres Thursday, July 25 at 10P ET/PT
NEW YORK, NY – June 12, 2013—Four-time U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist, track and field superstar Sanya Richards-Ross reveals her fast-paced life and high-profile marriage to NFL star Aaron Ross this summer on WE tv's newest original docu-series, "Sanya's Glam & Gold." Premiering Thursday, July 25th at 10pm ET/PT, Sanya demonstrates that the only time she ever stays in her own lane is on the track.
Sanya and her husband, Aaron, are the ultimate athletic power couple with four Olympic Gold Medals and two Super Bowl Championships between them (Ross recently signed with the New York Giants for the 2013-2014 NFL season). The couple met in college at the University of Texas, married in 2010 and are as competitive with one another as they are madly in love.
Each of the six hour-long episodes of "Sanya's Glam & Gold" follows the unstoppable Richards-Ross as she juggles her professional life as both a competitive athlete and a businesswoman with a busy personal life. Sanya moves at a fast pace, running circles around everyone in her path, including her family. "Team S.R.R" includes Archie, her father and manager; Sharon, mother and agent, and Yolande, cousin, publicist and stylist. This dream team is nearly out of breath as they help Sanya cross the perpetual finish line. Viewers will also have a front seat to the strong and often heated relationship Sanya has with her sister, Shari, who is her partner in The Hair Clinic, a salon they founded in Austin. Sanya's passion for The Hair Clinic is extremely evident as this is her first major business investment and failure is not an option.
"I'm so thrilled to have this opportunity to open up my life and marriage to viewers and to introduce them to my incredibly supportive, and let's be honest, sometimes-crazy family," says Richards-Ross. "I hope that in addition to being entertained by my journey since my victories last summer at the Olympic games, viewers will also identify with the challenges I face—and that all modern women face—to balance work, family, a husband and everything else life throws our way. There's never a dull moment and things can sometimes get out of control, but I wouldn't have it any other way!"
Primarily shot at their home in Austin, Texas, the series also visits Jacksonville, Florida, New York City and Jamaica, where Sanya took team SRR for an Olympic Victory lap and celebration. "Sanya's Glam & Gold" is produced for WE tv by Good Clean Fun with executive producers Jason Carbone (Tia & Tamara, Run's House) and Nick Lee (Run's House, The Bachelorette). Executive Producer for WE tv is Kate Farrell; Senior Vice President of Production & Development for WE tv is Lauren P. Gellert. The series joins WE tv's popular line-up of African American shows including Braxton Family Values, Mary Mary, Tamar & Vince and L.A. Hair.

Across The Lands
YOU'RE the WORD of God the Father,
From before the world began.
Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet
Has been fashioned by your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of your voice.
Let the skies declare your glory;
Let the land and seas rejoice!
You're the author of creation;
You're the Lord of ev'ry man;
And your cry of love rings out across the lands.
Yet you left the gaze of angels,
Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer you fed the hungry;
With a word you stilled the sea;
Yet how silently you suffered
That the guilty may go free.
With a shout you rose victorious,
Wresting vict'ry from the grave,
And ascended into heaven,
Leading captives in your wake.
Now you stand before the Father,
Interceding for your own;
From each tribe, and tongue, and nation,
You are leading sinners home!

**With approved credit. Terms may vary.
California law does not provide for a "cooling-off" or other cancellation period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be canceled with the agreement of the seller or the lessor or for legal causes, such as fraud.
However, California law does require a seller to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement does not apply to the sale of a recreational vehicle, motorcycle, or an off-highway motor vehicle subject to identification under California law. See the vehicle contact cancellation option agreement for details.

By 2011, only one state will have escaped the credit crunch that is pushing other states toward insolvency: North Dakota. North Dakota is also the only state that owns its own bank. The state has its own credit machine, making it independent of the Wall Street banking crisis that has infected the rest of the country.
Now, several states are either studying the prospects of a state-owned bank or are considering legislation to make one possible.
Five states have bills pending—Massachusetts, Washington, Illinois, Michigan, and Virginia. In April, documentary filmmaker and Virginia resident Bill Still showed his new award-winning documentary on the topic, The Secret of Oz, to the Missouri House of Representatives. Rep. Allen Icet, a candidate for state auditor, proposed using the Virginia proposal as part of a study on a state bank in Missouri and said he would hold committee hearings this summer.
Also in mid-April, the Hawai'i House approved a resolution asking the state to study the possibility of establishing a state-run bank there. State Rep. Marcus Oshiro, a Democrat who chairs the finance committee, called a state-run bank a "reasonable public option" to spur development and hold state funds.
Other state legislatures entertaining proposals for forming state-owned banks include New Mexico and Vermont. Candidates in eight states are running on a state-owned bank platform: three Democrats, two Greens, two Republicans, and one Independent.

Kidney failure occurs when damage results in loss of normal kidney function. It may also be called end stage renal disease (ESRD). There are 2 types of kidney failure — acute and chronic.
Conditions that may lead to acute or chronic kidney failure may include:
The symptoms for acute and chronic renal failure may be different. These are the most common.
The symptoms of acute and chronic kidney failure may look like other health problems. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis. You may be referred to a kidney specialist known as a nephrologist.
Your doctor will review your medical history and do a physical exam. Other tests may include:
Your health care provider will figure out the best treatment based on:
Treatment may include hospitalization and:
In some cases, you can have electrolyte problems and toxic levels of waste products normally removed by the kidneys. You may also develop fluid overload. Dialysis may be needed in these cases.
Treatment of chronic kidney failure depends on the how much kidney function you still have.
Dialysis is used to treat both acute and chronic kidney failure. It involves removing waste substances and fluid from the blood that are normally removed by the kidneys. Dialysis may also be used for people who have been exposed to or ingested toxic substances. In this case, dialysis is used to prevent kidney failure. There are two types of dialysis; peritoneal and hemodialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis is done by surgically placing a soft, hollow tube, called a catheter, into the lower abdomen near the navel. A solution called dialysate is passed through the tube into the peritoneal cavity. This is the space in the abdomen that houses the organs. It is lined by 2 membrane layers called the peritoneum. The solution is left in the abdomen for a certain amount of time. There, it soaks up the waste products and toxins through the peritoneum. The fluid is drained from the abdomen, measured and discarded. There are 3 different types of peritoneal dialysis:
A dietitian will help you plan your meals based on your doctor's orders. Generally:
Hemodialysis can be done at home or in a dialysis center or hospital. An access site is surgically made, usually in your arm. This involves joining an artery and a vein together. After access has been made, you will be connected to a large hemodialysis machine that drains the blood. The blood is bathed in a dialysate solution which removes waste substances and fluid. Then the clean blood is returned to your bloodstream.
Hemodialysis is usually done several times a week and lasts for 4 to 5 hours. During treatment you can read, write, sleep, talk, or watch TV.
At home, hemodialysis is done with the help of a partner, often a family member or friend. If you choose to do home hemodialysis, you and your partner will get training.
Possible complications of hemodialysis include muscle cramps and a sudden drop in blood pressure. This may cause you to feel dizzy or weak, or sick to your stomach.
By following the proper diet and taking medications, as prescribed by your doctor, you may be able to avoid complications. A dietitian will work with you to plan your meals, according to your doctor's orders. Generally:
Other treatment options may include:
Because the kidneys have many functions, the complications of kidney failure can affect many body systems. Complications may include:
