WILMINGTON, Del. — The former presidential yacht Sequoia, which once plied the Potomac for executive parties, can be sold to a group controlled by Indian interests for $7.8 million, minus loan repayments, a Delaware judge ruled Thursday.
Sequoia Presidential Yacht Group sued FE Partners in Delaware Chancery Court in February, alleging it wrongly attempted to seize the 104-foot, 88-year-old vessel in a dispute over a $5 million loan.
Judge Sam Glasscock in Georgetown signed a final order giving FE Partners the option to buy the vessel for $7.8 million minus incidentals. He also awarded FE Partners as-yet undetermined legal fees.
FE Partners, based in Washington, is controlled by the Goa, India-based Timblo family, which has mining and shipping interests, according to the complaint.
The wooden-hulled Sequoia, a National Historic Landmark built in 1925, served as the official presidential yacht for 50 years before former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, sold the vessel in 1977 as part of an effort to trim expenses.
Gary Silversmith, an attorney, sought the $5 million loan from FE Partners last year to help cover the Sequoia's maintenance costs. Under the terms of the loan, FE Partners had the option to buy the vessel, according to court papers.
Silversmith said in the filings that while a Russian company had bid $20 million for the Sequoia, he had "no intention" of taking the offer.
The Sequoia owner contended FE Partners only funded about half the loan and attempted to wrongfully seize the yacht, according to filings.
Anju Timblo, a director of FE Partners, said in a February statement that family interest in American history prompted them to lend Silversmith the money for the Sequoia, once known as the "floating White House."
"When my family learned that the Sequoia might be sold to a Russian firm and moved to St. Petersburg, we were delighted to invest funds to preserve the Sequoia and keep it where it belongs — in the United States," Timblo said.
John Reed, representing FE Partners, said he's "happy" with the ruling and that it's "unfortunate the court had to be burdened" with the litigation.
Michael Weidinger, a lawyer for Silversmith and the Yacht Group; didn't immediately return a voice-mail message seeking comment on the ruling.

"Football Justice" served in Ohio
Judge Gary F. McKinley (shown here) told those in his standing-room-only courtroom that he knows allowing the standout out Kenton High School athletes to play sports before serving their sentences will be unpopular saying, "I'm cutting you somewhat of a break here, and the court will get criticized for this." Admitting he waffled on his decision, the judge added, "I shouldn't even be doing this."
Gee, you think? Allow me to start the criticism by saying what complete and utter crap! This is so wrong I don't even know where to begin.
Last November, the two football players and three others (who are awaiting trial) stole a decoy deer, painted obscenities on it then placed it in the middle of a darkened rural road to see what would happen when drivers approached.
When Robert Roby, Jr., who was 18 at the time, swerved to miss the decoy, his car rolled and he crashed into a pole and fence. He broke his neck, collar bone, arm and leg. His mother said he's facing his 11th surgery.
The passenger in his car, Dustin Zachariah, sustained brain damage. According to his mother, he now has the cognitive ability of a 6th grader.
Medical bills for the two have reached $700,000 and are expected to top $1 million.
In the courtroom Tuesday, as soon as it became obvious the two football players would be getting special treatment from the judge, relatives of the injured teens began to sob.
Even more suprising to me was the fact that one of the guilty football players had two previous juevenile court convictions. So it wasn't like the first time he was in trouble with the law. What a great example to teach these two kids -- if you're good at football, the normal rules of society don't apply to you. I wonder if the sentence would have been as lenient if the kids were on the swim team?
Not surprising, the Kenton schools Superintendent, Doug Roberts, said he supports the judge's decision. "Being a small school and a small community, we look at these things as a small family, and when your family has problems, you try to help them, rather than turn your back on them," he said.
Riiiight. That and the fact that Kenton hasn't won a state title since 2002.
Thanks to MZone reader E.Mac for the tip.

This is appalling. There is no doubt that if these guys were on the debate team they would be going straight to juvenile detention. . . . BTW, 60 days vs. $1 million in medical bills and 11 surgeries is obscenely disproportionate. . . . The perfect ending to this story will be their being recruited to play for the Fulmer Cup winner.

War Eagle,
That's funny!
You know, after reading this, at first I was ticked that the sentence was suspended until after football season. Then it dawned on me that their sentence was ONLY 60 freaking days in a juvie?!?! With two prior issues for the one kid? How about 2000 hours each of community service to be served, I don't know, helping out the kids they hurt and/or their families?
I could understand a little more if the judge was just a complete idiot and thought it was the right thing, but the fact that he actually says he shouldn't do it, and still does anyway just fucking reaks. I'm done.
- August 17, 2006 7:28 AM
although i agree that this whole thing just 'stinks' of injustice....
...it must be said that the driver of the car was traveling at about 85 mph, was drunk & stoned.
this doesn't make the other side of the story any less 'wrong', just thought that these facts should be reported as well.

sure these are likely 'alleged'.

- CaliGirl said...
This is so sad! At what point to we actually PUNISH someone for their behavior. Make them accept the consequences for their actions? The underage drinking and use of illegal substance has punished the driver and his passenger. However, 60 days?!?! for the damage these others caused...
These are the type of kids that grow up to be Maurice C's or worse Terrell Owens. Thinking they are hot $h!t because they are star athlete, yet display horrible behavior, are an embarrassment for their actions, but that's ok!!! Let's reward these guys because they play a good game of football.
Who cares if your team suffers a bit, what kind of example are you setting by giving an easy sentence AFTER the season, warnings, probation or better yet, millions of dollars to these people that have no regard for anyone except themselves.

- August 17, 2006 2:02 PM
As much as you may want to believe that this endemic is quarantined in OH and your criticisms of this judicial decision come from the infallable moral center of the universe, both are, in fact, false. These atheletes are creations of the society in which we live, (there is suprisingly little difference between the culture of MI and the culture of OH)and though we may criticize behavior and subsequent punishments in these episodes, we, as fans of our respective schools and teams, are indirectly responsible for both because of the money and attention we devote them. If you want to change this organize a protest, a mass protest; boycott the team, don't tune in, don't buy tickets, and live as though the game of football was never created. But until you do something about it don't get up on your soapbox and claim moral authority over how one locality deals with it's monsters created by the money/fame engine that we, as fans fuel with our passion.
- August 17, 2006 2:16 PM
I'm sure nothing like this--a stupid judicial decision--ever happens in the state of Michigan!
Give me a break.
Somewhere there's some kid, also a football player, doing something asinine and probably criminal inside the borders of the holier-than-thou state of Michigan.
Your cops are just too stupid or too lazy to catch them.
You guys at the M Zone must be bored silly these days to come up with fluff like this, let alone the feigned outrage. Better I think to just keep sitting around and wait to take you three losses again this season; including, another one to the "infidels" at OSU.

I love how our apparently Ohio readers first response is -- "I'm sure it happens in Michigan, too!" -- instead of being appalled at the decision.
Yes, I'm sure things like this do happen in places outside Ohio. And we would be disgusted no matter where it happened. But this is the one we know of.
As for the guy talking about the soapbox, first off, how is voicing my opinion on something I think is wrong claiming "morol authority." I would venture to guess that a VAST majority of people who see that story will feel the same way. That's not moral superiority, that's an expectation, or at least a hope, that the laws apply evenly.
Also, you imply that I'm not even supposed to comment on it until I do something about it. But isn't publishing this post and shedding light on it doing something in some small way? Since I don't live anywhere near Kenton, OH this is the best I can do. Would you like me to call for a boycott of Kenton HS games? Ok, fine. Everybody from Kenton who reads this, show your disgust and don't go to the games this fall. I sure won't.
There, do I know have a right to voice my opinion or is that still too "soapboxy"?

In Michigan, at Farmington Hills Harrison high school, the school that produced Drew Stanton, running back Marcus Woods of Mizzou, and countless other standouts along with 12 state championships, just kicked off its starting QB for drug possession on a team picked to win the state title, and a couple years back shut down their star running back for a whole year because he was .1 point below the minimum gpa, so you Ohio backers should quit trying to work around the fact that a judge just said taking away the lives of 2 people is worth 120 total days of 2 others....wait a minute, i just read the article. Yost, your a moron. They did get fairly punished. I mean, they had to write a 500 word essay on "Why I Should Think Before I Act". 500 is a lot of words to people in Ohio.

Yeah, sorry to say, but gossip on talk radio doesn't mean much in my opinion. I would think if that was even remotely true, it would have come out in at least one of the legit news articles.
- August 17, 2006 3:16 PM
You think this is a legal travesty try this on for size. A district court judge in North Platte Nebraska recently sentenced a man to three months in county jail for raping a little boy. The guy should have done the 10-15 that the crim warrants. The judge said that because the accused was under 5 feet tall he wouldn't stand a chance in prison and therefore shouldn't be sent to the state penn. At least the kids father only has to wait three months to get his hands on this guy. The accused had prior sex offenses and was somewhere around 50 years old.
- August 17, 2006 4:32 PM
Wow. I hope these kids aren't seriously thinking about playing football after this? Please tell me they've decided to quit in disgrace?
- August 17, 2006 7:07 PM
- CrimeNotes said...
Not that this is any, any, justification for the judge's sentence, but it looks like, in fact, alcohol and marijuana may have been factors in the crash. At one point there was a motion to suppress evidence about the extent to which the driver was under the influence. Article available here.
I agree with the comments that the 60-day sentence is a bigger travesty than postponing the jail term.
- August 17, 2006 7:18 PM
Interesting that the Lima article points out that Judge Gary McKinley was retired (must have come out of retirement for some reason) and that he knows the family of 1 of the 5 teens.
Shouldn't knowing the family of any of the teens been reason enough for him not be involved in the trails?
- Enrique
- August 17, 2006 7:30 PM
yost 7:31am, there you go.
again, not that this makes it any more heinous a decision, but there's always another side to the story & each side should be broadcast so each can come there own conclusion
- August 17, 2006 7:55 PM
also, possibly a little sidenote should be added to the main story on front page of the blog.
maybe not?
- August 17, 2006 7:58 PM
- CrimeNotes said...
Why would a sidenote be warranted? Just because something you heard on talk radio happened to be right? His post wasn't about the dangers of intoxication, it was about an unjust sentencing decision. Whether the driver was sober doesn't related to football's impact on criminal sentencing. Way to lose sight of what matters.
- August 17, 2006 10:02 PM
i'd imagine yost will see things differently. he seems very level headed and would, if history has any impact, want all the 'facts' posted in the story.
again, this isn't to lessen the horendous injustice that the decision amount to.
just another 'turn' in the story.
we'll see
- August 17, 2006 10:16 PM
Again...who cares? I think its safe to say that Ohio and Michigan have more jus about everything in common and not much of it is all that good. Focus on your football team Michigan fans. You got some serious worries there. This whole diatribe--mostly from the comments--makes Michigan fans look like ND wannabees.
- August 17, 2006 11:20 PM
I agree that you need to see all the facts. If a 15 year old girl goes to a party, starts drinking and smoking and such, and gets raped, yes its a HUGE deal that she got raped and said rapist should be sentenced to the harshest extent of the law. BUT you do need to mention the fact that a 15 year old girl was drinking and smoking. The 2 victims in this case are not at fault for what happened, but it does need to be said whether or not they were intoxicated while driving. Does it make what the kids did in any way shape or form acceptable? Heck No. But the facts have to be presented .

August 17, 2006 8:22 PM
I'm sorry for being off topic (to an extent), but your analogy about a 15 year old girl being raped after a night of drinking/smoking is imperfect.
If the drivers of the car that had the accident were driving under the influence and at a high rate of speed, then were injured as a result of the prank, then they are responsible for choosing to get behind the wheel of the car in a compromised position, which happens to be a crime. IF that's true (not sure where it says this), then it actually does makes the pranksters less culpable for their injuries. Presumably they didn't mean for anyone to get hurt--they just thought they were being funny (as stupid teenagers often do). If the drivers weren't under the influence, they might have had better reaction time and avoided the accident in the first place.
A girl who has been out partying and who is raped, however, is the victim of a violent crime by a person who deliberately chose to assault her. Yes, she is also in a compromised position because she is intoxicated, which makes her an easier target for attacks, but she is a totally innocent victim. One should be able to be in a vulnerable state and not have to worry about being assaulted. Raping a drunk girl is no different than sexually molesting a child or a senior citizen in a nursing home--a drunk girl is a vulnerable person. Getting drunk may not be a smart thing to do, but it's not a crime.

Well there's the kicker, it is a crime. Underaged drinking is a crime, anmd shouldnt just be brushed off. Does this make the rapist right in any way shape or form? Absolutely not, but it still needs to be stated. It is in no way comparabnle to molesting a young child because that child is 100% innoscent, while this girl is already in the act of wrong doing anqd is indeed PUTTING HERSELF in a vulnerable position.

Under a popular park in Washington, D.C., there is a 19th century burial ground that was once the largest African-American cemetery in the city. Advocates want to protect the park from further development and create space for a memorial. But how many other such burial grounds are in similar straits, and how have others solved the problem of co-existing with development and gentrification?

When Dick Cheney kept giving "exclusive" interviews to Fox "personalities," there were those of us who ridiculed both the personalities and the former vice president for going through the ridiculous exercise of lobbing softballs and swinging at them.... Cheney saw newspapers such as The New York Times and news channels such as CNN as little more than branches of his Democratic opposition.It's wrong of Obama to shun the media he perceives as oppositional, but it's even worse, Nichols says, "to try and 'whip' relatively like-minded writers and reporters into line." (Why did Nichols put "whip" in quotes? So we wouldn't picture Obama with an actual whip or because he really wanted to say "pussy-whip.")
When [White House communications director Anita] Dunn was asked whether the president refused to accept interview requests from Fox because the White House sees the network as "a wing of the Republican party," the communications director responded: "Is this why he did not appear? The answer is yes."
[T]hat appears to be what the Obama team was trying to do with the silly "policing action" of having a White House "adviser," speaking on condition of anonymity, encourage liberal bloggers to "take off their pajamas" and get serious about politics...("Muscular mandate"... I love that.)
The bloggers should also take the criticism as confirmation that they are right when they suggest that this administration is increasingly out of touch with the progressive base that secured Obama the Democratic nomination and ultimately propelled him to the White House.
The fact is that the results of the 2008 election did not reveal "a closely-divided country." Obama arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the most muscular mandate accorded any Democrat since Lyndon Johnson's 1964 landslide.
IN THE COMMENTS: t-man said:
How can they say he had a mandate when no one even knew what they were voting for?I think he's doing exactly what he got a mandate to do: vagueness, dithering, pleasing without really doing anything. Give the man some credit! That's why I voted for him.

Interesting. I couldn't watch the entire clip, it was a bit more than my soul could take this morning.
Am I the only one that thinks tOSU fans sound slightly "retarded" (for lack of a better word) when I hear them say the "I" - "O" of the O-H-I-O chant?

Listen... I am the most un-PC person on the face of the planet. Unfortunately, I know what the inside of the Human Resources director's office looks like.
But I cringe when I see the word retarded used that way. I'm not trying force my values upon nor censoring anyone, but take a peek at this recent Daily article for one person's perspective (and mostly just the last 3 paragraphs).

Sorry 93, I most certainly did not mean to offend. I think I was trying to be "light" compared to my recent melancholy posts. I think I might need to find a rock and come out when I am in a better frame of mind! NO MORE INTERNET FOR KATIE UNTIL SHE PULLS HERSELF TOGETHER!

10 seconds in and I'm tasting bile in my mouth. That's about as far as I can go. I received a terrible email over the weekend of a new motivational poster. I'll have to email it to Yost and see if he posts it. It's not good for UM fans but I did chuckle none the less. Go Blue.

Oh, scoff all you want, they have been nominated for a grammy. It's the "non-rap school spirit that doesn't involve a stripper" category.
Also, the Dove awards may be contacting this duet. Squinty Spice was able to get in a "thank the Lord" which qualifies for consideration. I must admit, I was on the verge of a religious experience.

I have to agree with Mikoyan, the dude closest to the camera was more than half-way lit up. Probably threw in a coupla beers in there too, it was a cold day.
I understand why people take videos of themselves in the spur of the moment, but posting it on YouTube is a little much. What's an advantage to having that posted on the web? It won't land you a job of an opera singer. Geffen records won't call you to offer you a recording deal.

Like I said, I half expected the last shot of the clip to be, "Oh shit" followed by the motion of slamming brakes, followed by the sound of crunching metal. I would say sadly that didn't happen but I really wouldn't want those idiots to inflict harm upon others. They've inflicted enough harm with their singing.

i didn't subject myself to the whole video (i'm not into self-torture). You might be right. I was under impression that this was recorded after the UM game (in A2), but if you say there're palm trees in the background i'm clearly wrong.
Either way, both of them look anibriated (which doesn't help their awful to begin with singing).

Roger Federer loses in yet another stunning Wimbledon upset
The carnage continues at Wimbledon. Roger Federer lost to 116th-ranked Sergey Stakhovsky 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6.
Federer's Wimbledon credentials are all but impeccable. Seven victories, more Wimbledon wins than any player ever. This is the earliest he's been bounced from Wimbledon since 2002, when he lost in the first round.
But on this day, he was only a shadow of the champion he'd been. He was never able to find his groove against Stakhovsky, making unforced errors and allowing himself to be pushed around the court in a very un-Federer-like way.
On a larger scale, this ends a stunning run for Federer, who had reached the quarterfinals of every Grand Slam event since the 2004 French Open.
"Still in disbelief that this happened," Stakhovsky said afterward. "I was playing my best tennis, and that still almost wasn't enough ... When you're playing Roger Federer at Wimbledon, it's like playing against two persons."
Previously, Stakhovsky was best known as the guy who brought an iPhone to the court in the French Open to protest a call. This will likely burnish his reputation just a bit.

There has been a mixed response to the new national dietary guidelines, which were released on Monday.
While generally the industry has welcomed the recommendations, by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), there has been some backlash as well.
Many, including The Dietitian's Association of Australia (DAA) and the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA), are pleased the public now have an updated point of reference to help them navigate "the maze of inaccurate information on food and nutrition."
"The Guidelines drive home how crucial nutrition is to the health and wellbeing of Australians – and especially children," said DAA spokeswoman, Claire Hewat.
However, the DAA also say the guidelines are generalised - they caution people to seek individualised advice - and have expressed frustration at long it has taken.
"There will always be some people who will say the Guidelines aren't perfect, but... our last set of guidelines, released in 2003, [were] well past their used-by date.
'We've been disappointed with how long it's taken to get to this point. The process has been bigger than Ben Hur, despite the hard work and commitment of all involved."
Given the collosal commitment, the PHAA feel that the guidelines fall short in several areas. This includes their submission to incorporate sustainable eating practices.
"It is a missed opportunity that this aspect of the advice was not taken more seriously," said Michael Moore, CEO of the PHAA. "Food, health and the environment form an integrated system. It is appropriate and imperative to let people know how to eat to protect the future environment as well as their health...
"If we destroy the environment that sustains our food supply we will not be in a position to produce good nutritious food and such advice will become redundant."
The PHAA are also unsatisfied with the breastfeeding guidelines, which have been revised to six months of age, from 4 to 6 months. According to Dr Jennifer James Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Nursing and Midwifery at RMIT University, this change will help to ease the "considerable confusion" on the matter.
But, the PHAA believe more could have been done.
"Breastfeeding advice is based on solid evidence," said Associate Professor Heather Yeatman, President of the PHAA. "The real challenge is supporting mothers to continue to breast feed. More than 90 per cent of Australian women start breastfeeding, but rates at 6 months fall far short of NHMRC targets...
"More research is needed into how to support breastfeeding when mum returns home and perhaps back to work. There is also a key role for health workers to strengthen their advocacy of the benefits of breastfeeding."
Bulletproof guidelines were always going to be a challenge. And there is clearly still a way to go in addressing the health and dietary issues in Australia. Poor nutrition is still implicated in more than 56 per cent of all deaths in Australia. Obesity alone is estimated to cost the economy in excess of $58 billion per year.
But, the new guidelines, which push good fat over low fat and pure instead of processed, are a positive and long-awaited step forward.
"The new Australian Dietary Guidelines and Infant Feeding Guidelines must now rank among the world's best and most significant," said Mark Wahlqvist, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Monash University and Past President of the International Union of Nutritional Sciences.

A total of 122 North Carolinians lost their lives to domestic violence last year, an increase of 16 victims from 2011.
The number also has grown in Henderson County, where four people died from domestic violence in 2012, up from one the previous year and no victims from 2008-2010.
Mainstay Executive Director Tanya Blackford said she isn't too surprised by the numbers. Mainstay is a nonprofit that helps victims of domestic violence, offering a variety of services and a domestic violence shelter in the county.
"I'm not alarmed by them," Blackford added. "I do think we've seen an increase in our clients. I think we've seen an increase in the propensity of the violence that some of them experience."
Maj. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said the department also has seen an increase in violence.
"We as a whole in law enforcement have seen a moral decline in society with even the way we as officers are treated. So, if we as law enforcement officers are experiencing more violence being directed at us, it is not surprising to see this trend," he said.
Blackford points to diminished services for mental health clients and substance abusers as factors in the domestic violence equation.
Mental health and substance abuse agencies across the state lost about $40 million in funding last year in state budget cuts and from a draining pool of federal grant funds. The cuts came a year after lawmakers took another $45 million from mental health providers, according to North Carolina Health News.
A cut in services "that are core to people's wellbeing" leads to a host of problems, including domestic violence, Blackford said. "Accessing mental health and substance abuse services right now is an incredible challenge (here and) across the state."
Stout suggests that added financial burdens also might play a part in domestic disputes.
Whatever the reason, Attorney General Roy Cooper said the rise in homicides from domestic violence is a "great concern."
"It's clear that North Carolina must do more to stop domestic abuse before it turns deadly," he said in a recent news release.
It turned deadly for 55-year-old Paula Molinas, who shared a home and a history of domestic disputes with 54-year-old Karl Anderson. Molinas and Anderson were found dead inside their Gerton Highway home on July 30 in a murder-suicide case.
Deputies said Anderson shot Molinas before turning the gun on himself.
Roger Stuart Moody, 45, lost his life when he was struck by his girlfriend's car after an argument one night in June.
Morgan Elizabeth Bishop, 24, of Summit Knoll Park — originally charged with first-degree murder — pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in December after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors. She was sentenced to 3 � years to nearly 5� years in the N.C. Department of Corrections.
Bishop's lawyer argued that Bishop was leaving her house to find Moody and pick him up when she accidentally hit him.
In May, Roberta Lee "Bobbie" Clary, 77, was killed in her bed on Corlin Drive at the hands of her husband of 58 years, 84-year-old Thomas Louis Clary. Deputies say Thomas Clary suffered from dementia and died shortly after the incident.
Shelby Wilkie had hired a divorce lawyer and was going to leave her husband, who had been charged with assaulting her in March 2011, but the 38-year-old new mother never got the chance.
Wilkie's body was found at 8 p.m. on Jan. 5, and her husband, Michael Leroy Wilkie, of Hendersonville was arrested and charged with her murder. Investigators say he has confessed to the killing.
Shelby Wilkie is believed to have died in late December.
Search warrants state that Shelby Wilkie told family members she planned to leave her husband Jan. 4 and that "Michael had threatened to kill her if she tried to leave him."
Her remains were found in a 55-gallon barrel near the home of Michael Wilkie's parents off Kanuga Lake Road, where detectives said he fled with remnants of her body burned in the barrel behind their Moody Street home.
Wilkie is in custody awaiting trial in Henderson County Superior Court. His next court date has been set for Dec. 16.
District Attorney Jeff Hunt is seeking grant money to hire an assistant district attorney who will focus primarily on domestic violence in prosecutorial district 29B, which includes Henderson County. He applied for funds from the N.C. Governor's Crime Commission in January.
Henderson County had the most domestic-violence homicides — four — in Western North Carolina last year, followed by Buncombe and Madison counties which each had three. Henderson County was one of six counties with four homicides last year, fifth highest in the state.
Under a state law enacted in 2007, law enforcement agencies are required to report domestic violencerelated homicides yearly to the State Bureau of Investigation.
Of the 2012 murders statewide, 78 of the victims were female and 44 were male. The crimes were perpetrated by 104 males and 18 females, according to state figures.
Cooper noted that Henderson County reported more domestic violence homicides than expected for its population.
Two laws are working their way through the N.C. General Assembly now to bolster law enforcement and advocacy groups in the fight against domestic violence.
House Bill 209 would mandate that consent protective orders be enforced like traditional protective orders, giving victims a potentially stronger voice, Cooper said.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, and Rep. Sarah Stevens, R-Surry, Wilkes, passed in the House and is now in the Senate.
Legislative proposals to require reporting to prosecutors if probationers fail to satisfy offender treatment programs are a good step, Cooper said.
Legislation backed by the N.C. Coalition Against Domestic Violence — "The Teen Dating Violence Prevention Act," (House Bill 559) — has passed its first reading in the House. It would require local school boards to adopt policies on dating violence by July 2014 and would add to school health courses information on how to recognize dating violence and abusive behavior.
C oopersaidthatanother tool available now to domestic violence survivors is the state's Address Confidentiality Program provided by his office. "The ACP helps people who have escaped domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking keep their addresses shielded from abusers. Victims who move to escape abuse can join the program and have their first-class mail sent to an address chosen by the Attorney General's office. Mail is then forwarded to victims' home addresses, which are kept secret. People can also use the substitute address to register to vote, get a driver license or sign up for utilities like water and electricity," according to a release from Cooper's office.
"A total of 918 participants and their dependents are currently enrolled" in the program, which started in 2003, according to Cooper's office.
To apply for the program, contact Mainstay at 828-693-3840 or The Healing Place at 828-692-3931.

And I name my cars.
Ok back to the makeup... I think this is such a cute collection idea. The sweet, girl-next-door shades in the Betty half of the collection are offset by the deeper, more vivacious colors in the Veronica half. Just in time for Valentine's Day.
The packaging is absolutely presh. With the likeness of either Betty and Veronica printed on their correlating products. Little sweet hearts and the comic likenesses of Betty, Archie, and Veronica make for such fun and happy packaging, reminiscent of the 1950's. SO cute, I can't even take it.
So while I was (obviously) instantly charmed by the collection itself and the packaging, the products and colors are the most impressive part. Which I have definitely not been able to say about a MAC collection in a very long time. Let's face it, the quality of the products IS the most important part.
Since I wanted to keep this post all about the swatches and photos, I'll save my specific thoughts for my video review which you can check out here or at the bottom of the page. So don't miss that if you want more of my thoughts on this collection and my must-have items.
So without further ado, here's the swatchy goodness...
*Keep in mind, this is not the entire collection, just the products I received.

Journal twitter's Journal: Vista/Windows 8 Hype Log. 1
All the usual hype is flowing about Vista 8. This mostly means that Vista 7 was a failure, but I decided to log it for laughs. Vista 7 did not sell as well as Vista did and Vista 8 won't sell any better than Vista 7. Vista failure has really killed Microsoft. The upgrade inevitability myth is six feet underground, traditional desktops are becoming a thing of the past and everyone looks to Google, Apple even IBM for cool and reliable computing. Despite that, Microsoft brings out the same old lines and strategies.
- 05/29 - Steve Ballmer tries to freeze the market by announcing an early release date, only to have Micrsoft quietly rebuff him. In reality, OEM outrage at Microsoft's limitations and power grab pushes Vista 8 release out of 2012.
- 06/02 - A fawning article from business insider. We get all the usual BS, "riskiest OS ever," "biggest step forward in more than 20 years, when it pushed Windows as the replacement for DOS", "underneath that layer is the old Windows that users are accustomed to. It will run old Windows apps", Linux and Apple are too jarring, expensive and suck, and so on and so forth.

This type of image shows heat based radiation from the infrared spectrum. In other words, the warmer the surface, the more infrared radiation it emits. For a satellite image, cooler surfaces are bright and warmer surfaces are dark. Since the atmosphere cools as you increase in altitude, clouds would show up as bright areas and land surfaces as dark areas. In addition, low clouds will be more gray and higher clouds will show up more white. Tall thunderstorm clouds will show up as bright white and fog will be hard to discern from land areas. A large advantage of IR is that you can view it 24 hours a day.

In wot order wud you smell their bums?!Guess im not to fussy...lol!
In wot order wud you smell their bums?!Guess im not to fussy...lol!
I'd do more than smell them the order would be Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry then Zayn! I love Niall sooooo much he is absolutely gorgeous
Harry isn't 18 until next February. Until then, this band is not for discussion as a group. By all means post legal images of individuals (except Harry). You can also discuss their music abilities over in the Entertainment forum.
The band that has been getting pretty big lately One Direction. I found out that they are all over 18, the youngest barely turning 18 a month ago.
I don't know, there is something about two of them that I find attractive for some reason.
Not a huge fan....to many British boy bands around now. One Direction, The Water, and another whose name I can't recall.
That said. The one in the middle and the one on the left are reasonably hot.
Eh....misspelled "the Wanted" rather badly lol. Damn this forum and edit limits.
Well, I guess it is about time for the boy band thing to come back. Been about ten years since the Backstreet Boys/N'Sync?98 Degrees days...
If a tune is catchy, I'll listen. And if they are attractive in a hunky way, well, that gets my attention too. That was the best reason to like 98 Degrees - Nick and Jeff were hot.
But Louis (second from the left) ...wow. He is really attractive. He wears the chino's and suspenders really well.
Zayn and Niall also do it for me. Zayn and his looks and Niall is just too cute for words, especially his smile.
Wonder if they'll age well...
Zayn is the only especially good-looking one IMO.
Did no one else wonder what Ellen DeGeneres was doing in the first photo?
God answers all prayers. Most of the time, though, the answer is 'No'.
I'd never heard of them at all until I was watching AMTV one night and saw their video "What Makes You Beautiful"... now I see them and hear about them everywhere. I like their song and I think they're all cute!!
Of course the boyband trend went out of style a while ago so let's see how well these guys do.
I hope they're just having one big orgy after the concerts.
I'd watch.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.
I don't find any of them attractive. I like men, not boys.
And I don't like the song much either. Hate how the first three chords in the verses rip off "Summer Nights" from Grease.
Decided to watch their music vid and I don't dislike them particularly. They are all pretty cute except the blond one.
I think Zayn will be attractive when he's older. But for now, none of them do it for me at all.
Some of their songs are kind of catchy though.
AAahh...One Direction. Simon Cowells little lab rat wunderkinds.
Otherwise known as Wand Erection or Twinks Anonymous.
2 of them are in the sweetest bromance
*** underage gifs removed ***
More GIFS;
Don't forget guys, Harry only turned 18 on Feb 1st this year.
Any images of the group as a whole may only be those taken AFTER this date.
aaah my bad, Sorry, I presumed the site I took them from would have only had +18 pics/didn't realize how young they were.
zaiyn looks like the young guy out of ugly betty, yes the gay one
Just saw them on Access Hollywood. Zaiyn is definitely my fav and he looks great in just about every pic I've seen.
eh, the guys are pretty cute, awful songs.
Louis and Zayn definitely need a good fucking And Harry definitely needs a good proper spanking + fucking the same goes with Liam... I'm not interested in Niall ^^
Harry and Louis have a legit thing going on.
Of course, I'm sure no one will believe me (as I know how JUB is)... but I've been following these guys for a little while. Why?
No clue. I'm not into boybands...but I started watching their interviews and their old X factor stuff... and regardless of the music they do... they are actually just entertaining to watch. These boys aren't quite like any other boy band, at least the American ones we've seen. They're quite dirty actually.
But Harry and Louis, in really candid moments and footage, their body language is total boyfriend body language. I know some folks who run some really popular ID blogs that say they've basically gotten confirmation of it from folks immediately close to the two... Not to mention the boys' mothers on twitter have basically "wink winked" at it when asked. A number of fangirls have said they've personally seen the boys hold hands, sit on each others laps, and be affectionate in ways that are clearly romantic...and the boys are supposedly getting less concerned about hiding it. But they never really did...go back and watch the early X factor stuff. From what I hear, their management is going crazy because they want to market them big in the American market...and we all know how the sexuality thing works out here.
Anyway, I'll probably get shit for saying this...but just relaying what's pretty much known in the One Direction fanbase. Half are the "they're totally straight and are going to be my husband" fangirls...and the other half pretty much accept that Harry and Louis are an item, and they actually really love it.
Most boy bands end up having at least on gay guy.
Zayn looking cute as usual
Harry has been linked with several women, there was a very public breakup just a few weeks ago. It's also widely known he likes cougars. Not saying he might not enjoy guys too, but saying he and Louis are a couple is stretching it. Teen guys today act like that with each other.Anyway, I'll probably get shit for saying this...but just relaying what's pretty much known in the One Direction fanbase. Half are the "they're totally straight and are going to be my husband" fangirls...and the other half pretty much accept that Harry and Louis are an item, and they actually really love it.
Furthermore, I think we've progressed to the point where boybands can have out singers without it causing them damage. If anything it would add to their fanbase. There are tons of out singers in the UK (both solo & boybands) and they are all doing just fine. In fact, most of the pop acts in the UK seek out the gay fans by regularly appearing in gay magazines and preforming at gay clubs. 1D was at the G-A-Y club last year. So, if any of them were gay, I don't think they'd be hiding it.
I hate to tell you but this may be the boyband apart from JLS where they are all straight. If any of them is going to "come out" a few years down the line it will be Liam.
But due to the policy with Will Young/Joe McElderry etc of getting it out of the way at the start of their career. I think we would have heard by now.
Could be wrong though.
This is why I should have never said anything.
I'm a skeptic as most people are on most things, and I certainly understand that as of right now it's just gossip...but I thought that since this is the Celeb News and GOSSIP forum, there might a response or two of "hey, maybe...maybe not"...or "interesting possibility, but not sure I believe it". That I can understand.
But no, I forgot. This is JUB. I'm immediately dismissed and told I'm pretty much delusional.
Haha... it's ok. I should have known better.
But you're all right...I'm wrong, since you know me...
For the record, they could be all straight. They could not be.
One could be gay. One could be bi. Who knows.
Lets just say if the day comes... I put my money on Louis. And then Harry.
But what do I know. I'm wrong.
Now I'll just go and read about Ricky's "passionate affairs" with women.
Will just leave these here. Make sure you have best rez versions by downloading from Wafflefakes.
Just started following Zayn on twitter and found this in his recent images. Not sure who the ass belongs to..but Zayn looks pretty intrigued by it. https://yfrog.com/a/img806/2199/27089010.jpg
ah yes One Direction or as some call them wandering erection. Well America you can keep them I cant stand those little twats and their one directioners that think they run twitter. Why people are falling all over them in beyond me they cant sing,they aren't that good looking and they think skipping across the stage is dancing. Hope this fad dies before it catches fire but sadly I think I'm wrong
I was just gonna say that I think they're all straight, but if anyone is gay, then it would be Louis. He always initiates the touching whenever he and Harry are joking around... and then cron9por posted that gif! lol. Love it! Granted, he's grabbing Liam, but still :P

Albuquerque NM (ABQ-72365) - Current
A Skew T plot is a standard plot used by meteorologists to analyze data from a balloon sounding. This is a plot of temperature with height as denoted by pressure. The pressure lines are plotted horizontally in blue and are also on an inverse log scale. The concept of Skew T means that the temperature is not plotted vertically but angles off to the right at a 45 degree angle. The temperature lines of the Skew T are in blue. The green lines are called dry adiabats. The light blue dashed lines are saturation adiabats. The yellow dashed lines are lines of constant mixing ratio. The sounding is plotted as two white lines. The right line is the temperature profile. The left line is the dewpoint profile. The winds are plotted as wind barbs with height (see below) on the right edge of the plot.
