Two new accusers against Jerry Sandusky say the former Penn State coach used his basement as a venue for sexually assaulting them as young children.
New Court Documents: Complaint | Grand Jury Presentment
Fox 29 has learned Sandusky could not make $250,000 cash bail on the new charges and was sent to the Centre County prison in Bellefonte, Pa., on Wednesday afternoon, according to court documents.
The victims' claims are almost a decade apart but very similar in describing how Sandusky met the boys through his charity, and sexually assaulted them during sleepovers in his State College basement.
The accounts were included in a new grand jury presentment released in Harrisburg, Pa. on Wednesday.
Moments earlier, Sandusky was taken away in handcuffs from his State College, Pa. home, wearing a Penn State track suit.
Like earlier accusers, both alleged victims say they met Sandusky through The Second Mile charity for at-risk children that the ex-coach founded in 1977.
One of the new victims spoke with Pennsylvania state police after the news broke about Sandusky on November 3rd. The other used a tipline contact phone number on a state Web site.
Victim 9 claims he was first assaulted in 2004, and the other, Victim 10, told the grand jury he was assaulted after being referred to Second Mile in 1997.
The ninth accuser, currently 18, was 11 or 12 when he first met Sandusky in 2004. Sandusky took him to Penn State football games and gave him gifts and money, and later sexually assaulted him during overnight stays in a basement bedroom in Sandusky's home, the grand jury said.
The accuser said that Sandusky forced the boy to perform oral sex and attempted on at least 16 occasions to anally penetrate him, sometimes successfully.
"The victim testified that on at least one occasion he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky's wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him," the grand jury report said.
The 10th accuser told the grand jury he was referred to The Second Mile in 1997, when he was 10 and experiencing problems at home. He also attended Penn State games, spent time at Sandusky's house, and was subjected to "wrestling sessions" in the basement of the home that led to Sandusky performing oral sex on the boy, authorities said. The accuser also detailed incidents at a pool on the Penn State campus, and a time when Sandusky allegedly exposed himself in a car and requested oral sex from the boy.
Agents from the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Pennsylvania State Police filed the new criminal charges against Sandusky on Wednesday in Harrisburg, Pa.
"Today's criminal charges were recommended by a statewide investigating grand jury, based on evidence and testimony that was received following the initial arrest of Sandusky on November 5th," Attorney General Linda Kelly said in a statement. "At that time, Sandusky was charged with sexually assaulting eight victims, all of whom first encountered Sandusky as children through The Second Mile, a organization that he founded to operate programs for disadvantaged young people."
Sandusky is charged with four counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and two counts of unlawful contact with a minor, all first-degree felonies which are each punishable by up to 20 years in prison and $25,000 fines.
Additionally, he is charged with one count of indecent assault and two counts of endangering the welfare of children, all third-degree felonies which are each punishable by up to seven years in prison and $15,000 fines.
Sandusky is also charged with one count of indecent assault and two counts of corruption of minors, all first-degree misdemeanors each punishable by up to five years in prison and $10,000 fines.

We are recruiting: Can Cook Chef Role31st Jul
We are looking for a passionate, ambitious, talented and confident chef who wants to join our team and to use their skills to help us take Can Cook on to another level of delivery.
Can Cook's mission is 'to connect everyone through food'. To do this we have a range of innovative/dynamic cookery and food businesses. Can Cook have trained over 12000 people in cookery – at our cookery studio and via our 'pop up' work across Liverpool. We are well positioned in Merseyside and are now ready to grow. In 2013, we will create a range of new food businesses and expect to become a market leader in producing and selling great street food.
Social Mission:
Our focus is first and foremost shaped by our social mission. Working with community organisations, agencies, schools, food and health related organisations – to produce good food and teach cookery skills. 60% of adults no longer cook and 200,000 in Liverpool alone are no longer eating a home cooked meal every night. We are passionate about creating a movement that changes this.
Following the cuts and rising food prices our social mission over the last two years focuses directly on campaigning against food poverty and creating city wide strategies and innovative models to solve this. The new Chef will join the team at the point where this is very much under development. We are currently looking at creating a model unique to the UK that will get fresh food into the Food aid system and creates food hubs in communities to provide food aid, train people in cookery and ensure their access to fresh, quality but affordable food provision.
As a new Chef you will join the team at a very exciting time – it is going to be busy.
Job Summary:
Our aim is simple – to build a successful social enterprise that is dedicated to producing good food. We have a number of unique training and food environments.
The post holder may be required to work within any of these environments:
- The Can Cook Studio – A 20 place professional cook school (currently situated in the Matchworks Business Park) equipped with Chef demonstration area, cookery stations and a dining room. Our Studio cookery training includes corporate and private sector customers offering cookery experiences, team building and bespoke customer entertaining. We still run some weekend courses in Can Cook Studio teaching individual customers from both Merseyside and other regions, who will pay to receive specialist cookery and food tuition.
- The Can Cook Pop Up Studio – A Cookery training Studio that 'pops up' in marquees in outside spaces, in city centre shops, workplaces and community settings to teach all ages to cook.
- Food Hubs Can Cook campaigns to solve food poverty. Over the last two years we have ran a series of three conference for 150 Merseyside organisations to look at creating solutions to food poverty. Working with key organisations we have designed a Food Hub model to bring healthier food into the food aid system – working in deprived communities the three hubs will also build community capacity and help communities find their own routes out. The Hubs will include our recently designed Food We Need healthier food aid package as part of a community shop offer, a cookery studio to teach people to cook, a community dining room and bake house. Centred around food the hubs will focus on bringing good food to the centre of the community, offering choice and building skills and the ability to manage on a budget.
- Kitchen Share – A commercial kitchen environment for small food businesses to hire out kitchen space, equipment and be part of a growing food business network. In 2014 we launch a business incubator that will initially recruit 10 small food businesses and get them ready to trade providing them with training from Chefs, business planning, marketing and health.
- Can Cook in Care Homes – Can Cook hold contracts in Middleton Court and Mariner's Wharf (launching in February in Wallasey) to design, implement and deliver new healthier menus in dining and restaurant facilities.
- Cooked – In Jan/ Feb 2014 we piloted a meal on wheels scheme for elderly in their homes and nurseries in partnership with the city council. This will involve a fresh menu of main courses and desserts for the elderly and a healthier lunch menu for nurseries.
- Street Food – We launched our first truck in 2014. This will be run by 4 young people initially supervised by a Chef. These young people will be the first to complete a Food and Enterprise diploma that we have helped develop. Later in the year we will launch further trucks and kiosks across Liverpool City Centre. The Chefs involved will train staff in food and cookery and develop and run a central production kitchen in the City Centre.
The Chef's part:
The Chef will have the opportunity to work in all aspects of the business.
In the initial stages one of the primary roles will be to take a lead on our street food truck and developing our street food offer. This will involve menu development, preparing meals, training a team of young people and co-ordinating staff.
The Chef will also work closely with our Head Chef right across the business in our care homes and delivering cookery training for all ages. As the role develops the Chef will have the opportunity to lead on different projects and aspects of the Can Cook businesses.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in – email your CV across to firstname.lastname@example.com who will also send over the full job description…

Stacy Lewis Wins ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer
Ko a rookie par excellence
View All News
Regains World No. 1 Ranking
Stacy Lewis blew away the field at the ShopRite LPGA Classic on Sunday with a 67 that took her to 16 under par for the week, holding off Christina Kim at -10 and a quartet of players at -9. With the win, she regains the world No. 1 ranking that had been held by Inbee Park for 59 straight weeks.
After her round she spoke of the nostalgia of winning for the second time at Stockton Seaview. "I don't know what it is about this place," she said. "It's just really special to me. I've played some really good golf here."
Kim, shot two over par in the final round to finish in solo second, spoke of the overwhelming fan support she fell all week long in South Jersey.
"Having people shout my name and telling me that they're rooting for me, it always brings a smile to my face," she said.
Lewis echoed those sentiments in describing the massive galleries that followed her all week in Galloway. "It's unbelievable the amount of people we get out at this tournament. You finish there at 18 and you're just absolutely mobbed all the way through there. There's really no escape. So it's just cool to see all the people that come out and to me it feels like it's growing every year."
2012 Champion Leading at 12 Under Par
Stacy Lewis stands at -12 after she fired a 63 to tie the course record for lowest score through 36 holes, and sits atop the leaderboard after Saturday's round. Lewis, who teed off at 7:45am on a breezy morning, completed her round before the winds began howling on a sunny day that brought massive crowds to historic Bay course at Stockton Seaview Resort.
After her round, Lewis spoke about how she enjoyed the shot-making creativity that is required on windy days.
"If you look at a lot of my wins and a lot of the courses I played well on it's when it's windy and when it's hard," Lewis said after her round. "Today we had more of a north wind and yesterday we had a south wind, so the golf course can change overnight, and you have to be able to adjust with it and you have to be able to change your shots."
Lewis tied the 130-shot tournament record set by Amy Benz in 1996, a score matched by Denise Killen in 2004 and Lewis in 2012 enroute to her first ShopRite LPGA Classic victory. The final score record of -17 is held by Annika Sorenstam, who shot that total twice in her three wins at this event.
The final round tees off Sunday morning shortly after 30 contestants compete in the annual Million Dollar Shootout held in the fairway of the 18th hole.
Seen and heard on Saturday at the ShopRite LPGA Classic
The Best View in Women's Professional Golf?
We might be a little biased...
Nine-year old course record nearly falls in the first round!
Jennifer Johnson takes the lead with a course-record tying score of 62. She leads a tightly-packed leaderboard that includes Christina Kim at -7, and fan favorites like Brittany Lincicome, Michelle Wie, Sandra Gal, Stacy Lewis, Lydia Ko and a host of others within a few shots of the lead.

54 holes. $1.5 million. 144 of the best golfers in the world.
The stars will align when the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer returns to Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, bringing the best female golfers in the world to the Jersey Shore from May 26-June 1, 2014.
In 2013, 95 of the top 100 players on the LPGA Tour money list battled the challenging, windy conditions of Stockton Seaview's Bay Course. Despite the fierce competition, Hall of Famer Karrie Webb shot an amazing final round 68 to finish at -4 and win her 39th career LPGA title. Karrie Webb adds her name to the impressive list of past ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer champions that includes Nancy Lopez, Juli Inkster, Betsy King, Annika Sorenstam and 2012 Champion Stacy Lewis.

Dont want to hype it up too much for you guys so I give it 4 stars =)
- 'excellent time piece' Review by William on 3/13/12
RatingI was very impressed with the design and quality for what its priced at. I am a watch collector and I own a Tag Heuer Carrera and I am just as pleased with this watch as I am with my Tag. This watch keeps accurate time and I have no problems with it.
- 'Affordable' Review by Byron on 3/13/12
RatingI was browsing the web for a nice watch and I thought about buying a watch with a clean look but some of the brands out there look similar but charge a few hundred more just for their brand stamp. I somehow came across an article and heard a few good things about them. So I gave them a shot and now I am very happy that I did't have to spend $200 more just to get an expensive logo on the watch. At least I know Orient has reliable watches and the price is right

First off, the question of what happened to the wood-frame building that was the S.P. depot from the early part of the 20th century until 1962 has been nailed down: It was demolished in March 1962.
Second, the steel building on the east side of MacArthur Drive that replaced the old depot in January 1962 has also been demolished — just this week.
A couple of weeks ago, I reported that the old Southern Pacific depot might have been moved out to Larch Road in 1961. The building that has served as a church since then appeared as though it could be at least part of the depot building. Certainly, the possibility couldn't be ruled out, I noted.
Now it's been ruled out.
The old Southern Pacific depot was not moved to Larch Road in 1961, but was demolished in March 1962.
Dennis Maddox, a docent at the Tracy Historical Museum, found the answer while looking through newspaper clippings and photos of the S.P. era in Tracy.
"As soon as I saw the Tracy Press clipping of the photo of the old depot being torn down in March 1962, I knew it answered the question you raised in your column a week ago," he said.
Dennis, a onetime pressman with the Tracy Press, made a copy of the photo clipping and gave it to me. I found the negative in the Press archives. The results appear with this column.
The caption under the photo said that in addition to the demolition of the old station, the S.P. planned to tear down or sell other, smaller buildings in the old yard area that was abandoned in the summer of 1961, when the new yard east of town was opened.
The only exception to the "sell or demolish" policy was the S.P. clubhouse, the mission-revival-style building that was home to visiting S.P. crews from Oakland. It wasn't torn down until the 1970s.
One of those smaller buildings in the old yard area was obviously moved in 1961 to Larch Road by the Rev. Clem King and his wife, Carrie. It was Carrie, the retired teacher and first director of the Larch-Clover Community Center, who reported that the church building had been moved from the old S.P. yard area and could have been the depot. An inspection determined that yes, it could have been the old depot — at least part of it — but that couldn't be nailed down for certain. The clipping of the demolition photo has solved the mystery.
If not the depot, the church building on Larch Road was definitely one of the buildings in the S.P. yard area. It might have been the office of the road foreman of engines located near the roundhouse, but that also is far from certain.
When the new S.P. yard was opened in July 1961, the old station, thought to have been constructed in the early part of the 20th century, remained in use while the new 4,500-square-foot steel depot building was built just east of MacArthur Drive. The new depot building was put into use in January 1962, but some communications equipment remained to be moved out of the old depot building, and demolition was delayed. That March, it was demolished.
It's a bit surprising, at least in retrospect, that no effort was made to save the old depot building. Although historically important, the old depot structurally was a nondescript S.P. wood-frame building, so saving it wasn't high on anyone's list of priorities in the early 1960s.
At least we now know its fate. Case closed — well, almost.
In reporting the fate of the old S.P. depot, I decided Thursday to go over to its replacement steel building east of MacArthur and see just how much of it the Union Pacific, successor to the S.P. in this area, was using. In addition to housing S.P. freight, trainmaster and crew-dispatching operations, the building had served as a passenger depot until 1971, when the final San Joaquin Daylight pulled out of Tracy.
And there, as I drove up, a backhoe was pulling the final remnants of the building into a pile of rubble. They were tearing it down! Now that was a surprise.
Next to it, a portable building installed last summer was surrounded by a chain-link fence with no access without a code.
So I checked with Joe Morris, a Tracy "rail" since 1968, to find out what was going on. Joe, who had been part of the two-man switching crew in Tracy until last year, said demolition of the steel building was started Monday and probably would be completed Friday, or, at the very latest, early next week.
"Only a small part of the building was in use for a long time," Joe said. "And homeless people were breaking into it until we welded the doors shut."
A small portion of the building was used by the lone two-person Tracy switching crew that moves boxcars to and from local businesses each day. There was also an office for the California Northern, a short line that runs a train down the west side to Los Banos and back each day.
"The U.P. decided it would be better just to use the portable building, which is air-conditioned and not bad at all," Joe said. "This tells you something about what has happened to railroad activity in Tracy. There's not much left."
Two old depots have crumbled — one just this week — but the handsome new Tracy Transit Station has risen in the same general area. Now, if high-speed Altamont "Corridor" Express trains someday start using the new depot — er, transit station — railroading will take on a new life where it started in central Tracy in 1878.
Madam ambassador
Tracyites attending performances at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts probably saw the sign above the entrance to the main theater indicating its name as the Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Theatre.
Eleni is a member of the Tsakopoulos family, a major Sacramento developer and owner of the Tracy Hills project south of town. The family also was the largest contributor among those who provided more than $1 million in private funds that augmented city redevelopment money to restore the Grand to its present glory.
Anyway, Eleni was recently sworn in as American ambassador to Hungary. She had been nominated to the post in the fall by President Obama and confirmed later by the Senate.
A few days after being sworn in by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Eleni presented her credentials to Laszlo Solyom, president of Hungary.
It's no secret that politics play a role in many ambassadorial appointments. Eleni is well connected as an early supporter of Clinton's 2008 candidacy for president and, later, after Obama emerged as the Democratic candidate, as a backer of his successful campaign for president.
Politics aside, Eleni doesn't lack the credentials for the ambassador's role. A Dartmouth graduate with an MBA from University of California, Berkeley, she has been heavily involved in domestic and foreign policy issues for a number of years. Her husband, Markos Kounalakis, is publisher of the Washington Monthly.

Wreck This Journal (Duct Tape)by Keri Smith
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The special limited edition duct-tape cover of the international bestseller…
For anyone who's ever had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes this expanded edition of Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake and mess-making abilities and to fill the pages of the book (or destroy them). Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts--poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting pages with coffee, coloring outside the lines, and more--in order to experience the true creative process. With Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.

Cross-Cultural Comparisons of English Request Speech Acts in Native Speakers of English and Chinese
This paper aims at comparing the uses of the English request speech acts in native speakers of English and Chinese. An oral discourse completion task (ODCT) was used to collect data and the chi-square analysis method was applied to examine the data. From the results, the comparisons of request strategies and internal modifications between Chinese and English native speakers showed no significant differences; both groups frequently used indirect strategies. However, with regard to the use of alerts and external modifications, significant differences were found between these two groups. Further results also indicated the effects of social status and familiarity on both groups. To interlocutor in higher status, both groups showed significantly different usages of internal and external modifications. As to interlocutors in equal status, they performed different request strategies, alerts and external modifications. In addition, significant differences were found in the use of alerts to interlocutors in lower social status. To familiar interlocutors, both groups showed different usages in alerts and external modifications. To unfamiliar interlocutors, significant differences were also found in the use of alerts and external modifications. At last, Chinese native speakers with high and low proficiency levels showed significantly different usages in alerts.
Key words: English request speech act; Oral discourse completion task; Chi-square analysis; English native speaker; Chinese native speaker

NVForked updated and is now nvALT, a merger of two forks.
Big update. Huge. Back in January, Scrod released an update the NV that added a host of great features… and broke compatibility with my fork. Since then I've been working on updating my fork to add in his changes in the official NV:
- Option for horizontal layout with multi-line previews in notes list
- Words between [[double-brackets]] will become links to other notes
- Tags can be synced to Dropbox and searched by Spotlight, via OpenMeta
- Tags are auto-completed while typing in the tag-entry field
- TaskPaper-compatible strikethrough formatting using the "@done" tag
- Fully plain-text-based automatic list-bullet formatting
- Note-titles inside double-brackets are (optionally) auto-completed
- "Show in Finder" command for revealing selected note-files on disk
- Highlighting of search terms can be disabled
- Dragging the divider to the top or left of the window will hide search field
- and more
I kept the new, official implementation of a horizontal layout, which uses a single column to display note title + metadata (dates and tags). Looks beautiful.
All the features from my fork are still there:
- Fullscreen mode (cmd-shift-f)
- Optional menubar icon/drop down menu
- Optional no dock icon (menu bar icon only) mode.
- The ability to add/edit tags for multiple notes at once (which now auto-completes the tags for you).
- Multiple color schemes you can easily switch between:
- Black/White
- Low Contrast (light gray background, dark gray text)
- User Customizable
- Easily collapse/expand the notes list and search field (cmd-shift-c)
- An option to improve the readability of notes by using margins to limit the width of the text (in preferences>>Fonts&Colors)
- Other eye candy (check the scrollbars out).
AND added some new features:
- "Open in Text Editor" (Under the note menu, or Cmd-Shift-O) to will open the current note in the application of your choice (use WriteRoom if you prefer its fullscreen mode). This requires that you store your notes as separate files. The default app is the system wide default for whatever file type (.txt,.rtf,.html) you're using. Probably Text Edit. But you can pick your preferred application in "Preferences>>Editing"
- Show Word Count (Under the View menu, or Cmd-Shift-K). Heavily requested. Adds a live word count of your note to the search field. Hold down the option key to temporarily see the word count.
- Working Localization for French, German, and Portuguese. (Although some of the newer features show up in English. If you know French, German, or Portuguese and want to translate anything you see in English please email me or Brett).
Along the way, Brett Terpstra, the developer of another NV fork, nvALT, and I decided to "branch off and merge our forks"…. whatever that means. Well, it means that my fork and nvALT are now combined into a single release:nvALT, version 2. So this adds the features of nvALT 1.0.7 into the mix as well:
- (Multi)Markdown/Textile Preview (in the Preview menu, or hit Cmd-Control-P). Also highly requested. Brought to you mainly by Christian Tietze and Brett Terpstra. Thanks! I've added one thing to their implementation: Hold down the control key to temporarily see the preview window.
- HTML source code tab in the Preview window for fast copy/paste to blogs, etc.
- Customizable HTML and CSS files for the Preview window
- Custom HTML/CSS templates can be included in saved output from the Preview
- Social note sharing via Peggd
- Convert imported URLs to Markdown, and optionally strip excess content with Readability
And some other bug fixes and improvements. (Most noticeable: the search field is embedded in the window's titlebar as in the official release, which I originally took out for going fullscreen, but got working again).
nvALT has its own auto-update channel. So it will only update to future nvALTs, and never to Scrod's NV.
nvALT will create it own set of preferences from NV. This means that the first time you run nvALT it won't have any prefs you've set in my old fork, the first version of nvALT, or the official NV. If you moved your notes to a custom location (like Dropbox) they won't show up the first time you run nvALT; you just need to go back into preferences>>Notes and set the "read notes from folder" to the right place. Apologies for the chance, it is a pain in the ass, but separating nvALT from NV means you can use both apps, store notes for each in a separate folder, and have fewer compatibility issues.
Note: Apparently our build is not particularly PowerPC compatible. Since neither Brett nor I have PPC machines its pretty hard to test/debug/build for them. We'll do our best, but in the meantime its probably best for PPC users to hold off or use this experimentally only. Apologies.
Download nvALT, version 2 here.
The official project page for nvALT is on Brett's site. Or you can check this site.
Source code will be available (soon) here
Follow my tumblr and/or Brett's blog for news and updates about nvALT.
I'll post a roadmap soon, after Brett and I have a little more time to agree on the next steps. In the meantime, enjoy the new release!
Big thanks to Scrod (aka Zachary Schneirov), Christian Tietze , and others whose work is a part of the fork.

Q: I want to replace a ceiling fan/light with a regular light fixture. The cable from the switch box to the ceiling box has three wires—two identical blacks and a white—with one of the blacks connected to a mysterious blue wire from the fan. The light fixture I want to install has only two wires, one white and one black. What's the best way to wire the new light?
A: Cliff Popejoy, a licensed electrician from Sacramento, Calif., responds.
The cable going to the fan/light fixture is called a three-wire cable, and it usually has one red wire and one black—instead of two black wires—to prevent confusion. In your case, one of the black wires from the cable is connected to the fixture's black wire, which goes to the light; the other black wire is connected to the fixture's blue wire, which goes to the fan. The cable's white wire connects to the fixture's white wire.
At the switch box, there should be two cables: one with two wires (one black and one white), and one with three wires (two black and one white). The black wire of the two-wire cable supplies power coming in, and it should attach to one of the switch terminals, and also to one black wire of the three-wire cable, to power the fan. The other black wire from the three-wire cable connects to the other switch terminal, to power the light. The two white wires in the switch box should be spliced together. Wired this way, the wall switch controls the light, and a pull chain on the fixture controls the fan.
Given this arrangement, here's how to wire the new light fixture. First shut off the power at the breaker or fuse and verify that it's off by testing. At the switch box, leave the whites spliced together. Keep the black wire of the two-wire cable connected to a switch terminal, but disconnect it from the three-wire cable's black wire, which you should then cap off with a wire nut. Make sure that the other switch terminal is connected to the second black wire of the three-wire cable.
At the fixture box, be sure that the three wires are separated from each other and are clear of everything else, then turn the power back on. Turn the switch on and move dimmer switches to the full on position. With a voltage tester, find out which of the black wires at the fixture box has 120 volts (testing between the black and the neutral) and mark that wire with a bit of tape. Now cut the power again. Connect the black wire from the new light fixture to the black wire marked with tape. Connect the white fixture wire to the white wire from the three-wire cable. Cap the other black wire with a wire nut and finish installing the fixture.
If you don't have a voltage meter or tester to verify which black wire is connected to the switch, hook up one of the black wires from the three-wire cable to the black fixture wire before you install the fixture. Then power up the circuit and turn on the switch. If the light goes on, cap the other black wire and you're all set. If the light doesn't go on, cut power and connect the other black wire to the fixture wire. With this strategy, never suspend the fixture by the electrical-wire splices. Instead, make a hook from a coat hanger to hang the fixture from until it's installed.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A Jeep used to haul stolen copper was the first vehicle to be impounded since a scrap metal ordinance was amended.
According to Louisville Metro police, on December 26 officers responded to a report of a break-in in the 3000 block of Craig Avenue. When they arrived they found three people sitting in a Jeep near the rear of the home. Inside the vehicle officers found copper plumbing.
Officers impounded the Jeep and charged a woman and two men with burglary.
In 2012 the Louisville Metro Council approved the impounding of vehicle used for illegal dumping. In August 2012 the impoundment of vehicles used to transport stolen metals was added.

Neither man was found to have a gun. One of the men was reportedly wearing a black support brace. Police contacted the original caller and he admitted he never saw a gun, but he said both men were looking for trouble and that one kept his hand around his waist.

This is important. The Supreme Court has just announced a unanimous ruling that it is illegal to patent human genes. For us, this relates to the patent Myriad Genetics has held on testing for the BRCA1 and BRACA2 gene mutations; they have, until now, "owned" the patent on human genes. No more.
Since the ruling has just been announced, the details are still coming out. I suspect that the ruling itself is long and complicated, and that it will take a while for lawyers and journalists to read and process it. There likely are a number of details to be understood. For example, Ambry Genetics has developed another screening test for people who tested negative for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but have a personal or family history that seems quite suspicious for a gene mutation. Called the Next Gen Panel Testing, Breast Next, it identifies a number of "variants of unknown significance". What happens now to them? Can variants be owned? (I am guessing not)
What is very clear is that the public is the immediate winner here. Genetic testing through Myriad Labs, which has held the patent and been the only lab able to offer the test, costs about $3000 for the full panel, and insurance does not always cover the cost. Very soon, it will be less expensive.
Here is the beginning of the first announcement from CNN Politics and a link to read more:
CNN) -- The Supreme Court has made a decision in a case examining whether human genes are patentable. Details of the ruling are expected shortly.
The case involves Utah-based company Myriad Genetics, which was sued over its claim of patents relating to two types of biological material that it identified -- BCRA-1 and BCRA-2, whose mutations are linked to increased hereditary risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
Since Myriad owns the patent on breast cancer genes, it is the only company that can perform tests for potential abnormalities.
At issue is whether "products of nature" can be treated the same as "human-made" inventions, allowing them to be held as the exclusive intellectual property of individuals and companies.

Earlier this month, PUMA Social and Complex Magazine hosted a happy hour at The Mandalay Bay Hotel in Vegas. The happy hour took place in a hotel suite on the strip which was transformed into a PUMA Social Club. The event included all of the after hours games and giant Suedes that one could dream of.
Like any party, the formula for a good time was simple - eat, drink, play and listen. PUMA enthusiasts mingled while enjoying cold drinks, warm snacks and a few choice tracks courtesy of DJ Jus Ske.
Neon signs served as stadium lights for competitive grudge matches - foosball, ping pong and table games (Jenga anyone?). Egos were tested. Victors were crowned.
Well, we would tell you more if we could, but you know the drill...what happens in Vegas...

It was here in Switzerland, over 100 years ago, that these herbalists and botanists developed a blend of pure essentials oils that came to be known as Olbas Oil.
The name OLBAS is an acronym for Oleum Basileum, "Oil from Basle". Basle is enviably nestled on the border of Switzerland, Germany and France in the very heart of Europe, and to this day is a center of pharmaceutical research in Switzerland.
Over the years, Olbas has found its way into the far reaches of the earth. From England to Australia, from South Africa to Sweden, Olbas has truly become an internationally favorite remedy.
In the United States, Olbas has been available for over 50 years. Initially, it was imported into the USA by Mrs. Heidi Ritter, a kindly woman of German decent, who lived in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. She provided Olbas Remedies to many in the midwest and throughout the United States.
In 1975, Mrs. Ritter turned over the importing of Olbas to Penn Herb Company Ltd. in Philadelphia, PA. Since that time, Penn Herb Company Ltd. has greatly expanded the distribution of Olbas Remedies in the United States, making it available in fine health food stores, selected drugstores, and through their mail order catalog, website and retail store. The line of remedies has also been extended to expand on the many and various uses of Olbas.
The Betz Family takes great pride in their worldwide reputation for quality products and friendly service. Now for over 3 generations, they continue to provide their customers with unique natural remedies from around the earth.
Olbas is one of those unique remedies that they have offered to their customers since the 1960's. It has been of great benefit to many, and they use Olbas themselves on a regular basis.

|How to Manage Large Image Libraries with iPhoto 2
|Fine, but WHY won't iPhoto scale?
|2003-06-17 19:13:16
Derrick, I was a bit disappointed in this article, and I'm a big fan of yours. You did tell us that iPhoto bogs down on all but high end machines with 1GB libraries, but you didn't explain why.
Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.
RE: WHY won't iPhoto scale?
2003-06-18 00:02:36 Derrick Story | [View]
Hey John, Well I can't speak for Apple on why iPhoto bogs down after a gig or two of photos. I don't know why. But from experience, I know that it does. (And I also know that managing images is a lot different than handling text.)
You could use FileMaker as your photo database. I've seen them, and they're cool. But, I like the output features of iPhoto that I can't get from other systems.
What I'm trying to do here is show folks how they can use iPhoto, if they choose to, and still manage lots of pictures. And there are a couple upsides to the method I outlined in the article.
For one, you regularly archive on to optical media. I think it's safe to say that many of us don't back up out stuff as often as we should, and the results of not doing so can be disasterous.
Second, if you're a PowerBook user, such as myself, your hard drive probably tops out at 60 gigs. Regardless of any iPhoto performance issues, laptop users need to have a flexible system for backing up and retrieving data while on the go because hard drives fill up fast. This is especially true for photographers.
By taking along a handful of DVDs, you can provide hard drive relief and still quickly access your image libraries.
All of that being said, some people won't be satisfied with iPhoto until it can handle more pictures. No argument from me. That's the beauty of technology: there's always an alternative. I'm not trying to convince anyone to use iPhoto. But for me personally, the many benefits of this application outweigh the limited library size.
Thanks for reading!

I declined a recurring meeting invitation in Outlook 2007 to let the organizer know I am unable to attend, which will be true most of the time. But there will be rare occasions when I could attend so I would like to have this declined meeting show up on my calendar. Currently, it is sitting in my Deleted Items folder and I find no way to move/copy/transfer it to the calendar. Also, contrary to this post -- I do not even see an option to redo my accept/decline choice.
My needs are a little different. If I think there's any chance I may be able to attend I will reply as tentative. If I know I won't attend I do decline, so my true free/busy status shows on our shared calendar. Most declined meetings I can just keep track of on the shared calendar, but for some it's important to me to know when certain things are being done or when certain people will be busy. I want these in my own calendar because I sync it with my smartphone and I want to see them when I'm not at my desk. Keeping meeting requests in the inbox just clutters the box, risks accidental deletion, and seems in general no way to run a railroad. Seems to me there ought to be a better way, even if it's only some kind of macro that makes a copy of the meeting in my own calendar.
Perhaps you should just accept as tentative.
I think simple copy-paste is good enough.
Some limitations are that you won't receive updates and you can't later on accept the copy but you'll have to find the original invitation from deleted items.
What I was able to do here, is decline the invite in the calendar view, then find the invite (either in the deleted folder, or in my case it was still in my inbox for some reason), and tentatively accept but choose the option not to send to a response.
If you do "drag the declined request from the deleted items folder into the calendar" (tried in Outlook 2010) it will change "declined" to "accepted" and notify the mtg organizer.
Im not sure if this works, go to > | options | email options | advanced email options| Delete meeting request from Inbox when responding.
Maybe this one is good enough? http://www.fortissoftware.com/Services/prd_PT_GhostMeeting.htm
Works in 2010: drag the declined request from the deleted items folder into the calendar.
Why the hell you can't just set it to do this is beyond me but so is the fact that people choose to use Outlook. If you click on the calendar in Outlook you will see that it is now 2013.

The flaw that is addressed in http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-272.htm which is Security Now! with Steve Gibson, Episode 272, recorded October 27, 2010: Firesheep puts a lot of pressure on you to deploy full SSL.
For example by Full SSL, I don't just mean to log-in with. I mean,
#1 The site must allow users to browse & post while using SSL.
#2 For sending and receiving e-mail (it could be by web based e-mail or SMTP/POP OR even an IMAP client on their computer) using SSL.
#3 The site must allow users to browse, pay online while using SSL.
I fully agree. It's all too easy to sniff unencrypted wireless connections these days. On the web site, all session cookies need to be encrypted on every page transfer during a logged-in session to prevent user sessions on wireless networks from being hijacked by other users of the same network. Likewise, grabbing email usernames and passwords over a wireless connection is a simple point-and-click operation unless these sessions are SSL encrypted. (They are currently not.)
Leaving customers exposed to such a vulnerability is not only negligent to the user accounts' own security, it could also do damage to Verizon's network if a significant number of accounts are compromised and used to send SPAM or worse.
Running SSL POP should be a simple matter of installing stunnel on the mail servers.
I absolutely agree.
FIx it. Meanwhile, you owe it to your PAYING subscribers to FULLY REVEAL how shoddy Verizon/Yahoo security as it pertains to their personal information.
Most people trust that this is a secure service.
It isn't.
Be honest with them, so they can take the necessary steps to safeguard their information.
To not tell them is more than negligent.
Whorka mentioned SSL POP, which would be great. But Verizon POP currently doesn't even support encrypted login - even passwords are sent in the clear, and setting the client to use encrypted passwords hangs the connection. Please improve client-based email with:
1) encrypted POP login, or
2) full-time secure (TLS) POP,
but preferably
3) support a decent email protocol, IMAP. I mean RFC 1730 came out in 1994 and RFC 3501 in 2003, and Netscape 7 could use IMAP with Exchange server way back then. Email isn't bleeding edge rocket science, and using totally insecure POP in 2011 gives Verizon a black eye.
Edit: Posted this before seeing mcaranci's IMAP suggestion. Of course, I voted that one up too.
Webmail is often used in unsecure places away from home. So it's imperative to have full SLL support to protect it from network sniffers, etc,
So this should be done by now? Is it?
SSL is definitely supported (not sure when they did it).
Also APOP is supported for passwords, even without SSL and for a long time, so your password need never be exposed.

Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Forget Washington and Stay the Course
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Washington is back on the front page, and that's never good news for stocks, Jim Cramer said on Mad Money Wednesday, as the markets faltered on a surprise win for the Tea Party. Cramer's advice? Stay the course.
Cramer admitted that nothing turns buyers into sellers faster than wrangling in Washington. Whether its unemployment benefits, the budget, the debt ceiling, the deficit or corporate taxes, if Washington is involved uncertainty is soon to follow.
But Cramer said he's not worries about the Eric Cantor news as it just signals there's likely more gridlock to come. That gridlock might now be coming from the Tea Party rather than the mainstream Republicans but in the end gridlock is gridlock.Cramer said market deserved a breather, a chance for investors to take profits. The weakness also provides the perfect opportunity to put money to work in the sectors that are working, like aerospace and oil and gas. He said the weakness won't likely be over in a day, so investors should begin picking at the stocks they like starting tomorrow.
Marvelous MicronThe Great Recession changed the mindset of the market for many on Wall Street, Cramer told viewers, and nowhere is that more evident than in Micron Technology (MU), a stock that shot up 5% in today's session as an analyst upgraded the stock from sell all the way to buy. Cramer said that for years Micron followed a predictable cycle. Demand for memory chips would increase and so, too, would Micron's shares. Then a competitor, of which there were many, would increase supply with a new factory and shares would plummet. But that cycle ended during the Great Recession, when everyone was told that PCs were in decline and would likely never return to their former glory. What was lost to analysts, however, was Micron's reaction to the sad state of the PC -- it made smart acquisitions, thereby elimination competition, while other competitors ramped down their production or left the segment altogether.

Polk County is strategically located in the center of the Florida peninsula, about equal distance from the east and west coast and half way between the Georgia-Florida border and the Southern tip of the peninsula. Polk lies on the Interstate-4 corridor, 25 miles east of Tampa and 35 miles southwest of Orlando. As the geographic center of Florida, it is estimated that more than 7.5 million people reside within a 100 mile radius of Polk County. This is one of the largest concentrations of population in the southeast.
"Imperial" Polk County was the nickname given to the county by a newspaper editor to recognize the county's prominence in agriculture, phosphate and cattle with the timber, turpentine and naval stores operations making strong contributions. In 1914, the county issued a $1.5 million bond to pave a number of roads. That bond issue was considerable for those days, and allowed for 9-foot-wide roads to start from Bartow to Mulberry, Lake Wales, Fort Meade, Winter Haven, Lakeland and Auburndale. According to historical reports, then-county commission clerk W.S. Wev had the idea of erecting an arch over every paved road at its entrance to Polk County, proclaiming that the motorist was about to enter "Imperial Polk County." The name has since remained.
