Cuccinelli announces guilty verdict of group home owner responsible for abuse, neglect, and death of intellectually disabled victim
~Richard Wagoner was charged, found guilty after victim died from second- and third-degree burns~
MARTINSVILLE (May 7, 2012)-Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced today that Richard C. Wagoner, Jr., was found guilty of abuse and neglect of an incapacitated adult that resulted in death. A jury recommended that Wagoner be sentenced to five years' incarceration. Wagoner will be officially sentenced on October 18, 2012.
Wagoner owned and operated The Claye Corporation, a group home for adults in Martinsville. The victim, Joseph Tuggle, 57, was an intellectually disabled adult suffering from Parkinson's disease, and received care in a group home operated by The Claye Corporation.
On February 8, 2011, after Mr. Tuggle suffered an episode of incontinence, direct care givers placed him in a bathtub while they cleaned the affected area of the house. Mr. Tuggle was placed under a faucet running scalding water and suffered second- and third-degree burns on his legs, face, buttocks, and arm. Ten days later, Mr. Tuggle was found dead in his bed with scabbed burns. The medical examiner determined that Tuggle died from sepsis and pneumonia secondary to thermal injury. His death was ruled as a direct result of the injuries he sustained on February 8, 2011.
According to court testimony, Mr. Tuggle's care givers failed to call 911 or the victim's physician, instead claiming to have called the local hospital's emergency room. The care givers claimed to have received instructions to treat the burns with First Aid ointment. However, hospital policy does not allow personnel to give treatment information over the phone.
An investigation by the attorney general's Health Care Fraud and Elder Abuse section revealed that, following the burn incident, Tuggle's care givers had placed him in a van to transport him to the hospital. However, Wagoner ordered the van to return to the group home. Wagoner then examined Mr. Tuggle's injuries and decided to keep him at the group home instead of providing him with emergency medical treatment.
"Not only did Wagoner fail to properly prevent conditions in which an incapacitated and helpless patient could suffer from such abject neglect and abuse, he also explicitly and deliberately deprived Mr. Tuggle of the care he needed to survive these injuries," said Cuccinelli. "This kind of gruesome irresponsibility and depravity is despicable, and it's my hope that today's announcement will send a clear, stern message that this behavior simply will not be tolerated in Virginia."
The case was investigated by the Martinsville Police Department and the attorney general's Health Care Fraud and Elder Abuse Section. The Elder Abuse section specializes in investigating allegations of abuse and neglect of incapacitated adults, employing both nurse investigators and criminal investigators to assist localities in determining the root cause of injuries and holding responsible persons accountable for their crimes.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Kevin C. Nunnally, and Chief Prosecutor David W. Tooker, also from the attorney general's Health Care Fraud and Elder Abuse section. The Martinsville commonwealth attorney's office provided guidance and assistance in the Wagoner prosecution.

By BRIAN SKOLOFF Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - A woman charged in the savage stabbing and shooting death of her lover told jurors Monday how she endured an abusive childhood at the hands of her parents and planned to commit suicide after she killed her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
Jodi Arias' testimony was a surprise move by defense attorneys in a sensational murder trial in Phoenix that has become a daily fixture on cable news with its lurid stories of sex, lies, betrayal and violence. Arias, 32, could become just the fourth woman on Arizona's death row if convicted.
She is charged with killing 30-year-old Travis Alexander, a successful businessman and motivational speaker, in June 2008 in what prosecutors describe as a fit of jealous rage after she found out he'd planned to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Authorities say she stabbed and slashed him 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear and shot him in the forehead, leaving his bloody body in the bathroom of his suburban Phoenix home to be found five days later by friends.
Arias claims it was self-defense - kill or be killed - as Alexander attacked her.
The trial began in early January with a series of salacious details about a torrid romance between Arias and Alexander after they met at a conference in Las Vegas in late 2006. She claims they dated for about five months, then broke up but continued to see each other for sex up until the day of his death. She initially told police she knew nothing of the killing, then later blamed it on masked intruders. She later admitted her involvement, but claimed self-defense.
In a soft-spoken voice, Arias calmly described Monday how an idyllic childhood in California turned abusive when she was about 7 years old. She said her parents beat her with belts and wooden spoons, and the abuse later escalated into shoving her into furniture and slapping her in the face for misdeeds such as sneaking out of the house.
Her mother sat in the front row of the courtroom and showed no emotion as Arias described her childhood.
She also said she made false statements early in the investigation about not being at the scene of the crime because she planned to commit suicide and never have a trial.
"At the time, I had plans to commit suicide. So I was extremely confident that no jury would convict me because I didn't expect any of you to be here," Arias told jurors. "I planned to be dead."
Arias then went on to recount other stories from her youth that sometimes turned bizarre. She described meeting her high school boyfriend at a carnival when she was 15 and he was 18. Arias said the two dated for a while, but she broke it off because "he had all kinds of wild ideas."
"He entertained the belief in vampires," she said, adding that he wanted the pair to move to San Francisco to hunt them.
She said a few months after she broke up with the boy, she learned he was so distraught over the ending of the relationship that he had slit both his wrists and tried to kill himself.
Arias said she reconnected with him about "19 months" later after a man she met in her father's restaurant had told her that the "second coming" of Jesus Christ would occur in late 1997.
"I was really naive and I kind of believed him," Arias testified. She wanted to warn her former boyfriend, she said.
Arias was expected to continue testifying throughout the day Monday.
Earlier in the trial, defense attorneys have attempted to depict Alexander as a liar and a cheat who told Arias and other girlfriends he was a devout Mormon saving sex for marriage, while in reality he was having sex with multiple women, while cheating on some with others. Prosecutors have portrayed Arias as a jealous ex-girlfriend who couldn't let go of Alexander and stalked him for months after their breakup until finally snapping and killing him.
Authorities say they found her hair and bloody palm print at the scene of the killing, along with time-stamped photographs on a camera discovered inside Alexander's washing machine that place Arias there on the day he died. The photos included one of Arias nude on his bed, one of Alexander alive in the shower, then one of his body on the bathroom floor.
Defense attorneys have yet to explain why Arias apparently attempted to clean the scene, washing Alexander's bedding and the camera, and what happened to the weapons. Authorities say Alexander was shot in the head with a .25 caliber gun, the same caliber Arias' grandparents reported stolen from their Northern California home about a week before the killing. Arias was staying with them at the time.
Monday's testimony was the first explanation offered by the defense for why Arias initially lied about her involvement when she explained that she had planned to kill herself.

Today's salon owners and managers realize that social media networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, offer a wealth of marketing opportunities, but they often struggle in understanding how to use them to their best advantage.
In a podcast interview with SALON TODAY's Stacey Soble, Linkup Marketing's Valorie Reavis introduces the professional beauty industry to a new social media management tool designed to help owners answer that dilemma—The Shout Lounge.
CLICK HERE to listen to the entire podcast, or continue reading to see an excerpt of the interview:
SALON TODAY: Many salon and spa owners recognize the power of social media programs, but it seems like it's a struggle for them to use them successfully, why do you think that is?
Reavis: One major theme that has come out of several years of working with salon professionals--it's the time. Unfortunately, most people who are working behind chair and managing a business don't have lots of time to dedicate to making social media successful. They don't have the time it takes to sit down and brainstorm, then go and research all the photos, blog links and videos they need to post on their pages. It comes down to not being able to dedicate the time they need to make it successful and see the return on that investment.
SALON TODAY: For a salon's social media program to be successful, what is the appropriate amount of content a salon should be posting per day or per week?
Reavis: "It's a really good question, and the answer shocks many people who already have a functioning Facebook or Twitter page. But there have been several studies that have been done—and they happen quite frequently because Facebook and Twitter are evolving—but really the expected standard for a business to see a return on the investment in their strategy is between two to three posts on Facebook each day and two of those posts should be original, meaning that the salon needs to go on and post their own photo or their own blog link, rather than going perhaps to their manufacturer's Facebook page and then sharing it on their salon page. With Twitter, it gets a little more scary, because we go up in volume—and the expected standard on Twitter is 3-5 posts per day—with the three number being the number of original tweets from the salon per day and the five number including re-tweets, replies and interaction.
SALON TODAY: The kind of content is also important, right? We still see many salons that mostly use social media for promotional purposes, and if that's all they do, what kind of impact does that have on the people who follow them?

Everett's Travel-Themed Nursery
My Room
Name: Everett Hudson (8 months)
Location: Sacramento, California
After traveling to Greece and crossing the number-one item off of our pre-baby bucket list, it seemed only fitting that we would honor our adventure with a travel-themed nursery for Everett. Airplanes and maps adorn the walls and bookshelves, encouraging dreams of faraway places.
In the six years that my husband and I have been homeowners, we have never spent so much time and energy putting a room together. This nursery became my sweet escape while I was pregnant; whether I was shopping for airplanes or painting globes or cutting maps into triangles, all of it made me feel closer to Everett. I loved scouring the web and local thrift stores for unique treasures and watching the room come together week after week.
He's eight months old now and it's still my favorite room in the entire house!

I love that this room has a theme, but it isn't over the top. There are many wonderful personal touches. The corner with the cloud mobile is my favorite but I also love that glider and the map under the book shelf. Great job!
My daughter also has a travel themed room although I don't have the clean lines that you have. This is a relaxing space. I especially love the aviator Teddy Bear and the bookshelf !
I would love that crib and changing table. Where did you get them? I live in Greece so I want to see if they are still available and if I could get them shipped over...

Luxottica sees the big picture with RMIT
Program Coordinator John Van Braam, Head of School of Life and Physical Sciences, Graham Timmins, Luxottica's Liana Reinhardt and Project Officer Michael Abulencia with Jason Patten and Diane Bates (seated) in the RMIT Science Labs.
RMIT University is set to work with one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of prescription frames, Luxottica Australia, to provide optical training to their employees.
Head of RMIT's School of Life and Physical Sciences, Graham Timmins, said the contract would make RMIT and Luxottica the largest trainers in optical dispensing in the Asia-Pacific region.
"This is a significant agreement for RMIT – the partnership with Luxottica reflects our commitment to working with industry to deliver the training both employers and students need," Mr Timmins said.
"This training program enables and encourages national recognition and alignment of qualifications, in turn delivering a higher standard of graduates."
The Luxottica Group is responsible for the design, manufacture and distribution of prescription frames and sunglasses to more 130 countries and boasts 52,000 employees worldwide.
Program Manager, Jason Patten, said RMIT had been training optical dispensers for more than 25 years.
"In recent years we have undertaken a comprehensive review of what we were teaching and how we were teaching it," Mr Patten said.
"As a result, we've changed the way we do things, reflecting the needs of industry and students."
The Optical Dispensing team at RMIT, including John Van Braam, brought their extensive experience in the optical industry to the development and delivery of the training program.
"The Optical Training program that RMIT has developed for Luxottica is innovative and embraces online learning," Mr Van Bramm said.
"It will allow students to plan, manage and self-evaluate their learning experience and their own professional development.
"They will be also able to choose their preferred method of study, including traditional and on-line resources."

Text Alignment and Face Control script, Simple, yet powerful.
Oct 2 2011, 03:38 AM
Post #1
Type: Designer
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Text Alignment and Face Control Script V2.0
Created by Neon Black
What is it?
This script allows you to change the default alignment of the text as well as the default position of a face displayed in the textbox. It also includes several textbox codes that allow you to change these settings on the fly as well as align the lines in the textbox differently. I created this script because the I could only find one other script that would allow the user to change the alignment of text and I didn't want all the extra baggage that script came with or any potential compatibility issues.
What are its features?
This script now has the ability to change how facesets are used by the program. You can now use facesets different sizes than the standard 96x96 pixels. Facesets must still contain 8 faces total (4 horizontal and 2 vertical) but you are no longer restricted by size. You may also use a single graphic for a face by adding "$" to the image name, similar to what you would do with character sets. These features are always available in the text box, but to use these features anywhere else, you must enable them in the advanced options.
How can I use it?
Place this script anywhere in the materials section above main. If you notice incompatibility with another script, place this script above that script. If you still experience incompatibility issues, please post what scripts you are using as well as what kind of error you are getting.
Advaned Mode:
Advanced Commands: (Reqruire Text Mod be enabled to work; may be uppercase or lowercase.)
What does it look like?
What does it work with?
This script was made to work alongside the Yanfly Custom Message System. To use these scripts together, place this script ABOVE the Yanfly CMS.
This script overwrites a few of the class objects in order to work and will most likely be incompatible with scripts that use them differently. Below are the changes this script makes.
Advanced Mode:
Advanced Mode:
New Objects
How can I get the code?
Version 2.0 (second revision, 3.18.2012) is available only by clicking this link here.
I would like to use this code.
You are free to use, modify, copy and distribute this code at your own leisure and you do not need to credit me directly, however if you use this code or modify it in any way, please leave the names in the credits box at the top of the code and do not remove that section.
Author's Disclaimer:
This is the first script I created from scratch and I am sort of proud of it, though I am sure there are bugs and errors or better ways of doing things. Due to errors I created while taking time adjusting to a new language there is a certain amount of redundancy in the code. There are also some things split apart because I plan to add more features to the code at a later date. The code should work for now. Any problems you may encounter please post here or PM me and I will certainly help resolve them.

Modified the script to fix several bugs involving selection boxes and the battle messages. Also added 2 new message codes for use as explained below. For screenshots of the new features, check the main post. Current version is now 1.1.
\trans[x] - This code allows you to set the opacity of the face by changing "x" to a value from 0 to 255. Setting it to 255 will make it fully visible (default) while setting it 0 makes it fully transparent.
\keep - This saves the face, position, flipping, and transparency of the current message box for the next message box or selection screen. The main use of this is to allow you to display a face in a choice box with 4 choices.

I feel like I'm almost breaking a rule, but I've updated this script quite a bit with several new features (see the pictures in the main post for reference).
First of all, for the simple additions, I've added several commands to work the same as the old commands. For alignment, \al, \ac, and \ar may be used. For flipping the face, \f> may be used to flip it and \f< may be used to "unflip" it, or return it to it's normal direction. For "swapping" the face, or changing which side it's on, \s> may be used and \s< will return it to the default position. For transparency, \t[x] may now be used. For saving the face settings and using it in the next textbox, \k may be used.
One important change to note is that the old \ali[x:y] command had to be changed. It is now \pos[x:y].
You can now use larger and smaller sized face sets in the text box. They follow the same 8 panel restriction as the default facesets unless you add "$" to the graphic name, similar to character sets. In order to use differently sized faces in other places, advanced mode must be enabled (see below).
Advanced Mode:
There are several other changes that require advanced mode to be enabled before they take effect. These are grouped into 3 categories and can be individually turned on and off. Turning them on may cause the script to lose some compatibility.
First of all, there are 4 new text based commands that add features to the text box. \icon[x] can be used to display an icon in the text box. \b can be used to bold all following text and used again to cancel bold text. \i can be used to make text italic or return it to normal. \fi[x] is a bit of an odd command. This will cause the face displayed to change in the text box. This will allow you to change a face's emotions in the middle of a sentence. To use any of these command, the Text Mod option must be enabled.
Second, you have the option to change how a text's shadow is displayed. You must first choose a display type (1 for dynamic shadow, 2 for outlined text, 0 turns this option off completely). If dynamic shadow is selected, you can move the position of the shadow around to display more or less as you please. The shadow color option will change the color of text's shadow or border.
Finally, you have the option to use the new and improved faces system. This system changes how facesets are handled and you will honestly probably not see any difference with the default face sets. This option will allow you to use facesets larger and smaller than the default values, though you are still restricted to 8 faces per set. As with the text box faces, you can also use "$" in the graphic name to use a single graphic for a single face.
I also feel the need to point out that one of the added pictures shows a portrait style face and a smaller than normal text box. To do this, change the "DEFAULT_FACE_LAY" option to false and set the "TEXT_OFFSET" to a positive number. The textbox will automatically be shortened by that number of pixels. As far as I can tell, alignment and other features are adjusted accordingly, but it is still worth being careful how you use this feature. Advanced mode does NOT have to be enabled to do this.
My scripts. Feel free to use and abuse.

(GELEE DE COING). Prepare six 8-ounce jelly jars. Rub the quinces briskly with a towel to remove any down on the skin, if there is any. (Don't peel them; the skin is important for the jelly.) Cut the quinces in half, then using a melon ball maker, remove the white core and the seeds, and reserve them. Tie the seeds and the cores together in a piece of cheesecloth. Place the fruit and the seed bundle in a large heavy stockpot. Add water to cover by about 1 inch so the quinces are floating slightly but not wallowing. Cover, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat so the liquid is simmering merrily. Cook, partially covered so very little liquid evaporates, until the quinces can be pierced easily with a metal skewer, 25 to 40 minutes depending on the fruit. While the quinces are cooking, press on the seed bundle often to extract the pectin. Drain, reserving the liquid and the seed bundle. Measure out 6-1/4 cups liquid and return it and the seed bundle to the pot. Add the sugar, stir, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the liquid is boiling steadily but not wildly, and cook, stirring and pressing on the bag of seeds, until the liquid thickens, anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes. (To test for consistency, drizzle some jelly on a cold plate, place it in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 minutes, and then check to see if it has thickened enough that it won't run all over the plate. If it is still very runny, continue cooking until it thickens to your liking.) If the liquid hasn't jelled within 30 minutes, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cook until it jells, an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the jelly from the heat and strain it, if necessary, so it is perfectly clear. Ladle the jelly into the sterilized jars and seal according to manufacturer's instructions. Makes 6 8-ounce jars Note: The lemon juice is really only necessary if the quince jelly doesn't "take" within the allotted time.

MARTIN COUNTY - When it returns for the seventh year, Treasure Fest will be better than ever, attracting thousands of children from across the region.
The event, hosted by the Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast, is set for Oct. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
With obstacle courses, a trick-or-treat scavenger hunt, bounce houses, face painting, arts, crafts, live performances, costume contests and several other activities, organizers said the event has become a major draw for area children.
It began as a fundraiser that preceded the museum's opening, and was created to invite families to visit the attraction.
But over the years, the festival has gained in popularity, attracting about 3,000 people for the one-day celebration.
Attendees are mostly children, ages 6 months to 12 years, with their families from Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River counties.
"We have our visitors repeatedly asking for it," said Tammy Calabria, executive director of the Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast. "It's one of the only festivals geared strictly for kids."
With no alcohol or adult activities available, organizers said the goal is to encourage parents and families to interact.
One opportunity for such interaction will be during a garden session with the Junior League, which sponsors a "pizza" garden on the site. The garden includes herbs and vegetables used in pizza making, and is a teaching tool to educate students about science and the environment.
Attendees can also visit the museum's children theater, plus several exhibits including a Spanish galleon, miniature grocery store and car care center.
"It's all just hands-on fun and learning," Ms. Calabria said. "I think the community anticipates this."
Admission is free of charge to the first 1,000 attendees, thanks to sponsorship from Bank of America. Otherwise, the cost is $5 per person. Coupons offering buy-one-get-one-free deals are available in Hometown News and other publications.
For more information, call (772) 225-7575. The Children's Museum is located at 1707 N.E. Indian River Drive, Jensen Beach.

We continued in 2010. Our 2011 list highlights 30 women in six categories. All of them bring unique brands of thought to their industries, such as Heather Harde (CEO, TechCrunch), Cher Wang (Chair, HTC), Rachel Sterne (CEO, GroundReport), and more.

January 21, 2012
I'm sort of semi-vegan. I love my cereals and have a big bowl with vegan milk almost every day. I try to avoid non-vegan food if possible, but living with my parents, I've had to make a compromise to vegetarian when they cook. I try to eat vegan when out in restaurants and make efforts to widen my vegan non-food items (have vegan soap and deodorant).
Cereal Hummus Dark chocolate Proja (corn bread)
222 Veggie Vegan
Possibly: Where do you get your iron? Protein is another annoying one.
Support towards being more vegan and chatting to like-minded people.
Hi, my name is Peter. Born and raised in London. Became a vegetarian in 2007. Dropped milk (not all diary however) off the menu earlier 2010 (at the time didn't really eat many eggs). Unfortunately I'm not fully vegan yet though.
Belated welcome to the group, Peter :)

Mitch Moreland doubled with two outs in the seventh to break up Verlander's no-hit bid. Verlander ended up allowing just the one hit and three walks as he improved to 10-and-6 with the victory. He left, however, after seven frames with a tight right quad muscle. Torii Hunter homered in the first and Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta hit back-to-back solo shots in the fourth for the Tigers.

The newly enacted G.I. Bill offers tuition assistance for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Obama said the post-911 measure is "not simply a debt that we are repaying to the remarkable men and women who have served, but it is an investment in our own country." The new bill is the most comprehensive educational benefits package offered to veterans since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the original G.I. Bill for World War II veterans in 1944. It is expected to offer veterans $78 billion in benefits over the coming decade. Taking effect this fall, the new G.I. Bill will cover the full tuition at a public college or university for four years for each eligible veteran, reservist and National Guard' member. Under the new law, service members who agree to serve four more years in the military can also opt to transfer the tuition benefit to their spouse or children. It's anticipated that nearly a half-inillion veterans or family members could participate in the first year. More than 25,000 service members have applied for the transferred benefit.

STAND banquet left standing Organization falls short of goal at SLC event to raise money for children in Uganda By Gina Barker managing editor I The Signpost Rather than raising awareness for their cause widi a hunger strike, die anti-genocide student coalition, STAND, celebrated with food and friends in Salt Lake City to help raise money for "Invisible Children." The organization traveled to SLC Friday night for a Black Tie Banquet Dinner die organization was hosting as the symbolic end to die hunger strike that raised $2500 two weeks ago. In the Armenian restuarant, Arbat, STAND and guests gathered for a sit-down dinner with drinks. The Black Tie Banquet not only celebrated the success of STAND'S hunger strike, but also raised more funds and awareness for the nonprofit organization. "This is die real thing," said Elene Kvernadze, STAND member and Weber State University Senate President. "This is a bunch of people that have gotten togedier, and we're all busy, taken the time out of tiieir-day to help people diey don't even know, they'll probably never know, but diis is humanity." Falling short of expected goals, die banquet pulled in $1,285 (not including presale tickets and check donations), $3,715 away from die intended $5,000. Despite the lacking attendance ofWSU C.l ii A K M K WSU STAND president, Cameron Muigan speaks to those in attendance at the Black Tie Banquet Dinner in Salt Lake City on Friday. Morgan hoped for a better turn out, but said he felt the recent fundraising events overall have been a success tor the organization. students and professors, many friends, family and long time supporters of die group made an appearance. WSU STAND President, Cameron Morgan, remained upbeat about die event. "It was a lackluster monetary gain," Morgan said, "but when coupled with our hunger strike it was actually an extremely successful event and the most successful semester STAND has ever had, so I can be nodiing but smiles." The banquet pulled in state legislators, Neil I Iansen (District 9) and Jennifer Seelig (District 23), who bodi spoke on behalf of die work STAND is doing. For every dollar raised Friday night, 90 cents will go straight to building schools for children in Northern Uganda. The project, "Schools for Schools," is one of the few programs that focus on secondaiy education, doing so to encourage higher education among Ugandan children. "Invisible Children" began as a documentary about die abduction and indoctrination of child soldiers in Uganda. Three college students in 2003 filmed the story of the children in Uganda and since the movie's screening, "Invisible Children" has grown into an internationally invoked nonprofit. Now die organization is working on telling the stories of recovering child soldiers, as well as improving die standard of living in the war-torn region. Morgan and former STAND lve President, Dave I.indhlad, traveled to Kenya this summer to volunteer in Kiberia, one of the largest slums in Africa, as well as distributing food in the Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camp around the area. Morgan said working in Africa over the summer pushed him to put more into STAND than in previous years. "STAND needs to get bigger," Morgan said. "STAND needs to do more innovative tilings, See STAND page 7 runs into obstacle course Tough one' put back in action By Spencer Garn news reporter I The Signpost Just a few hundred yards west of the Hill Air Force Base runway is an 18 stage obstacle course that members of the Weber State University Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) attempted to negotiate under the hot afternoon sun last Thursday. One of the stages, a 50-foot structure named the 'tough one,' was not used for safety reasons in the United States for two years prior to Thursday. ROTC cadets scaled the first 20 vertical feet of the obstacle with the aid of a rope. As one ROTC cadet was attempting to ascend this rope, 44-year-old Colonel Keith J. McVeigh, a professor of military science, looked over from a few feet away, quickly walked toward the cadet and said, "Did they teach how to climb the rope?" A few moments later and 20 feet higher, McVeigh was looking down, taunting the cadets below. "Don't let a 44-year-old get up here when you don't," he said. "I'm old and fat." After the rope climb, cadets still had to cross a distance of 50 feet over beams six inches wide and two feet apart, before the final ascent up a ladder 30 feet high. Cadets did not wear a harness and were constantly surrounded by a swarm of hornets. "It's one of those things you look at and think you'll never do it but somehow it gets done," said Cadet Cassidy Chambers, a microbiology major. "It's not as scary down here but when you're up there you kind of start shaking." Facing the mental and physical challenges like the ones provided by the 'tough one' help prepare ROTC cadets for military service. "In battle there's a lot of times when the mission in front of you just looks impossible," said Cadet Brian Balls, "Don't let a criminal justice a 44-year- major. -(But) old get up knowig tJ ' that as long here when as you keep vou don't " pushing yuu UUI l. forward, you'll always Col.

After receiving their commission, they begin 19 weeks of training to specialize according to their preferences and a national ranking based on leadership evaluations, grade point average and physical tests.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- Police said Demetrius Glenn and Kenan Adams-Kinard robbed and beat an 88-year-old World War II veteran Delbert Belton to death in an attack in August of 2013.
Prosecutors want to try the teenagers together. They said it would be of great benefit to Spokane County tax payers and save thousands of dollars if it was done together.
Prosecutors filed a motion to try the duo together Tuesday morning.
Major Crimes detectives said the two 16-year-olds accused of murdering 88-year-old Belton are both equally guilty.
Detectives claimed both Glenn and Adams-Kinard punched and beat Belton for no reason. Since they allegedly did the crime together, prosecutors want them tried together.
Defense attorneys said they do no want the trial to happen in Spokane. They said they are looking into filing a change of venue motion to get the whole case moved out of Spokane.
Prosecuting attornies said if the defense does file the change of venue motion then the judge will have to consider if there is bias against the accused.
Tucker said it will be up to the judge where the trial is moved. There is a hearing set for Thursday to decide whether or not the boys will be tried together.
Nothing has been filed to move the trial yet.

Winnipeg Jets 5 San Jose Sharks 4 (Shootout) – The Winnipeg Jets trailed 2-0 after the first period, 3-1 in the second and 4-3 in the third but perseverance paid off in a game that saw them fire 46 shots at Antti Niemi, the most shots the Sharks have allowed this season. The Jets have now won three straight games at home, three of their last four overall and for only the second time this season they have won back-to-back games. The Sharks meanwhile are 0-1-4 in their last five.
Dan Boyle opened the scoring for San Jose on a power play and, despite having been outshot 10-3 at that point, the Sharks were up 1-0. Just 1:14 after that goal, Sharks centre Tomas Hertl broke in alone, scored his rookie leading 10th of the year and the first period ended 2-0 despite the Jets outshooting San Jose 15-9.
At the 6:12 mark of the second period, Michael Frolik got the Jets on the board on a great pass from Matt Halischuk. It was Frolik's fourth goal of the season, one more than he scored last year in the shortened season. That goal started a scoring spree as Tommy Wingels restored San Jose's two goal lead 41 seconds later. With the goal, Wingels extended his point streak to six games. But, Dustin Byfuglien made it three goals in just 2:26 when he scored his first of the year to get the Jets back to within one.
It has been an interesting few days for Chris Thorburn. Friday when it was announced that Byfuglien had scored his first, Thorburn was credited with his first point of the year. But when the goal was changed to Eric Tangradi, Thorburn lost his assist. Tonight, Thorburn was initially given an assist on Byfuglien'sgoal, but after video review, the assist was changed to, you guessed it, Tangradi.
Before the second period came to an end, Grant Clitsome also scored his second of the year to tie the game. Clitsome had two assists to go along with his goal for his second career three point game. There was plenty of energy in the MTS Centre for this one, as the shots after two periods were 32-21 in favour of the Jets. Nothing seems to come easy to the Jets though as Byfuglien was given a delay of game penalty at the buzzer for shooting the puck over the glass with a couple seconds left.
The Jets killed that penalty, but could not kill a tripping call on Halischuk and again found themselves behind. The Jets were short-handed three times in the third, with the power plays at the end of the night favouring San Jose six to two. The Sharks lead the NHL in power play chances while the Jets are second in the NHL in total short-handed situations.
With the period winding down, and Ondrej Pavelec starting to make his way out of the net, Bryan Little found Andrew Ladd in the slot and his quick release found the back of the net to tie the game at four. It was Ladd's fifth goal of the season. The final shots after regulation and overtime were 46-34, with both goalies being forced to make big saves.
Ladd put one off the post in overtime, before being the only player to score in the three-round shootout to earn the Jets their eighth win of the year. The Jets are now 6-5-1 at home. It was Ladd's fourth shootout goal of the season and fifth career shootout winner, second this year. In his career, Ladd is now 10 for 20. Patrick Marleau did score in overtime but the goal was called back as the officials ruled Wingels had interfered with Pavelec. There was no penalty on the play, but the goal was disallowed.
The Jets are now 3-1 in the shootout and are a perfect six for six over the last two shootouts, Pavelec replied a quick "no" on the TSN Jets post-game show about perhaps liking that part of the game a little bit more.
With the two assists, Little now has five goals and nine points in the last seven games, Ladd now has 12 points in 13 career games against San Jose and has two goals and eight points in his last six games.
The Jets will play in Detroit Tuesday (TSN, TSN 1290), then at home against Philadelphia Friday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). It is the second meeting of the season with the Red Wings after a 4-2 win for the Jets last Monday.
Jets' coach Claude Noel had reason to smile after this one. "The outcome was great, we played a strong game. We battled back, didn't lose our focus or our hope. Never got rattled, where a week or two back we might have. It's a huge building block in a lot of different ways. We played with some heart, some passion. I really enjoyed the game," He said.
The Jets played their style for the win. "We were good on the fore-check and put pucks to the net," continued Noel. "They don't give you much. We played hard." On Ladd's game, "he has a sneaky wrist shot and his will to win is infectious."

""You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, "Look at that, you son of a bitch.""
— Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut (via ifuckinglovespace)
"Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group. Initially our loyalties were to ourselves and our immediate family, next, to bands of wandering hunter-gatherers, then to tribes, small settlements, city-states, nations. We have broadened the circle of those we love. … If we are to survive, our loyalties must be broadened further, to include the whole human community, the entire planet Earth."
— Carl Sagan

Natural gas, solar, and wind led new power plant capacity additions in the first half of 2014Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly, August 2014 edition with June 2014 data.
Note: Data include facilities with a net summer capacity of 1 MW and above only.
In the first six months of 2014, 4,350 megawatts (MW) of new utility-scale generating capacity came online. Natural gas plants, almost all combined-cycle plants, made up more than half of the additions, while solar plants contributed more than a quarter and wind plants around one-sixth.
These year-to-date additions were 40% less than the capacity added in the same period last year, which saw about 7,250 MW added. Natural gas additions were down by about half, while solar additions were up by nearly 70%. Wind additions in the first half of 2014 were more than double the level in the first half of 2013.
Florida added the most capacity (1,210 MW) of any state, all of it natural gas combined-cycle capacity. California, with the second-largest level of additions, added just under 1,100 MW, of which about 77% was solar and 21% was wind, with the remaining additions from natural gas and other sources. Utah, in third place, added 630 MW, all of it natural gas combined-cycle capacity. And Texas, in fourth place, added 350 MW, nearly all of it natural gas combined-cycle capacity with some solar and wind capacity.Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly, August 2014 edition with June 2014 data.
Note: Data include facilities with a net summer capacity of 1 MW and above only.
Natural Gas
Additions of combined-cycle plants (2,180 MW) were up by 60% compared to the same period last year (1,380 MW).
Four plants accounted for the combined-cycle capacity additions — the new Riviera plant (1,212 MW) in Florida, expansions at the Lake Side Power Plant (629 MW) in Utah, and the Channel Energy Center (183 MW) and the Deer Park Energy Center (155 MW), both in Texas.
Significantly fewer combustion turbine plants were added (130 MW) compared to last year (3,120 MW), making the June 2014 year-to-date additions of natural gas plants overall about half the level of the same period last year.
Solar additions experienced strong year-on-year growth, with nearly 70% more additions in the first half of 2014 (1,150 MW) than in the same period last year (690 MW). About three-quarters of this solar capacity was located in California, with Arizona, Nevada, and Massachusetts making up most of the rest.
Notable additions include:
- 152 MW of additional capacity at the Topaz PV plant in California
- 134 MW of additional capacity at the Desert Sunlight (Phase 1 and Phase 2) PV plant in California
- 125 MW of additional capacity at the Genesis solar thermal plant in California
- 110 MW of additional capacity at the Agua Caliente PV plant (currently the largest solar PV plant in the world at 290 MW of total capacity) in Arizona
- A combined 172 MW of capacity at the Solar Star 1 and Solar Star 2 PV plants in California
Wind additions (675 MW) were more than double the amount added in the same period last year (330 MW) and were concentrated in California, Nebraska, Michigan, and Minnesota.
California's 228 MW of capacity additions came from the Alta Wind X and Alta Wind XI projects of the Alta Wind Energy Center (currently the largest wind farm in the United States at 1,548 MW of total capacity), while Nebraska's 207 MW came from the Prairie Breeze wind farm. In Michigan, 61 MW of the Echo Wind Park plant came online as well as the 75-MW Pheasant Run II plant. In Minnesota, the 50-MW Lakeswind plant came online.
In Washington, a 122-MW hydroelectric turbine came online at the Wanapum Dam to replace the 104-MW turbine that was retired in late 2013. The dam is in the middle of a decades-long project to replace all of its turbines (which date back to 1963-64) with new more-efficient turbines one at a time.
There were no additions of coal capacity so far in 2014. The two coal plants that came online last year, the 937-MW Sandy Creek Energy Station in Texas and the 571-MW Edwardsport integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) plant in Indiana, were somewhat special situations of delayed coal projects finally coming online in 2013.
The only coal plants planned to come online in 2014 are the Kemper IGCC plant in Mississippi and a small conventional steam coal plant in North Dakota, reflecting the challenging conditions for coal plants caused by increased competition from natural gas plants and impending environmental regulations.

It's not the same as an interview with the guitar legend himself, but it's interesting nevertheless. Jimmy Page 's rep recently did an impromptu Reddit Q&A session , and the news is a mixed bag for Led Zeppelin fans. Members of Q Prime management -- which manages such acts as Page, Red Hot Chili Peppers , Metallica and others -- were reportedly on a road trip to see Dawes when they decided to make use of their time by offering behind-the-scenes answers to Zeppelin fans' burning questions.
First, the bad news: when pressed about the possibility of a Led Zeppelin reunion for either a tour or a one-off show, the responding member of the Q Prime team said, "Honestly, my gut tells me they won't." Perhaps indicating just how dissatisfied they are with the situation, the Q Prime team responded " John Bonham" when asked which rock star they'd like to bring back from the dead, explaining it was "in the hopes that maybe Led Zeppelin would play another show."
But there was some good news: there will be never-before-heard Zeppelin music on the band's forthcoming remastered box sets. The Q Prime team reported that Jimmy Page is so engrossed in sifting through the band's archives that he's forgoing work on his own solo material in order to concentrate exclusively on Led Zeppelin. What's more, it's likely that there will be a box set for each original Zeppelin album.
Says Q Prime, "Some of the reissued box sets will come out this year, but in the world of Led Zeppelin, time is a fungible thing. Hopefully will have a box set for Coda too. [It] depends on what's in the archives."

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Rutgers (1-1) defense forced five North Carolina (2-0) turnovers and sophomore signal caller Chas Dodd (Lyman, S.C) threw for 243 yards and two scores, but it was not enough as the Scarlet Knights fell by a 24-22 score to the Tar Heels Saturday afternoon at Kenan Stadium. Junior receiver Mohamed Sanu (South Brunswick, N.J.), one of eight players to catch Dodd passes, was his favorite target, grabbing 13 aerials for 119 yards and a touchdown.
Junior linebacker Khaseem Greene (Elizabeth, N.J.) paced an opportunistic defense with a career-high 13 tackles (11 solo), while also adding a forced fumble and a pair of tackles for losses. Sophomore cornerback Logan Ryan (Berlin, N.J.) also registered double digit stops, with 10 tackles (seven solo) and a pair of forced fumbles.
Senior placekicker San San Te (Conover, N.C.) had a notable day as well, with a career-high tying three field goals playing in his home state. Te split the uprights from 34, 50 and 19 yards. The 50-yard boot tied his career-best distance en route to a 10 point performance.
North Carolina posted the afternoon's first points. Quarterback Bryan Renner connected with wideout Dwight Jones on a 66-yard scoring aerial to cap a four play, 80-yard drive. The hook-up provided the home squad a 7-0 advantage and marked the initial points of the season surrendered by the Scarlet Knights.
Duron Harmon (Magnolia, Del.) provided RU's best highlight of the opening quarter. The junior safety intercepted a Renner pass and returned the theft 40 yards to the two-yard line. Unfortunately, the Scarlet Knights were unable to cross the plane and the first quarter closed with RU trailing by a touchdown.
Courtesy of its aggressive defense, Rutgers wasted little time registering digits on the scoreboard in the second stanza. Ryan forced a fumble after a pass completion just inside RU territory. The fumble was recovered by David Rowe (Cocoa, Fla.), who raced 33 yards before being pushed out of bounds at UNC 25. Four plays later, Te split the uprights from 35 yards out with 14:26 on the second quarter clock.
The Scarlet Knights forced their third consecutive turnover on UNC's ensuing possession. This time, Greene forced the fumble after the completion and Rowe recovered. Eight plays and 29 yards later, Te booted a career-long tying 50 yard field goal. The Scarlet Knights trailed 7-6 with 9:35 remaining before the break.
The Tar Heels extended their lead to 14-6 on a 60-yard scoring run by Giovani Bernard with 8:40 to play in the second stanza.
The defense continued its productive progress, forcing its fourth turnover, as the half wound to a close. Junior Scott Vallone (Central Islip, N.Y.) deflected a pass that was intercepted by Wayne Warren (Salisbury, Md.) and returned 15 yards to the UNC 44. The Scarlet Knights, aided by a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty, moved the ball to the 18 yard line. Dodd then found Sanu, who made an acrobatic, one-handed touchdown grab across the middle. The two point conversion was no good an RU was within two points, 14-12.
The final points of the opening half belonged to the Tar Heels. Casey Barth kicked a 46-yard field goal as the clock wound to a close to send the home squad to the locker room with a 17-12 advantage.
The Scarlet Knights engineered their longest drive of the afternoon on the opening drive of the second half. Dodd moved the team 74 yards on 12 plays in six minutes. The possession culminated in a 19-yard field goal by Te, his third of the game, to bring RU within two points, 17-15.
North Carolina answered with seven play, 49-yard drive to pay dirt. Bernard carried in from six yards to provide the home squad a 24-15 lead with 1:12 remaining in the third quarter.
Rutgers responded in definitive fashion. Dodd engineered a 13 play, 62-yard drive that consumed 5:27 of clock time. It culminated in a five yard scoring toss to Tim Wright (Wall Township, N.J.), marking the junior wideout's first career touchdown. After the extra point, the Scarlet Knights trailed by just two points once again, 24-22, with 10:40 to play.
Unfortunately for the Scarlet faithful, Wright's touchdown marked the final points of the afternoon. Rutgers moved the ball in its own territory to the 42 yard line with under three minutes play during its last possession, but turned the ball over on downs to seal the final score.
The Scarlet Knights returns to the gridiron on Saturday, Sept. 24, to host Ohio in a 2 p.m. kickoff at High Point Solutions Stadium. It will mark the third meeting between Rutgers and the Mid American Conference opponent, with RU having won the last contest, 24-7, at home in 2006.
