Eclipse Select Soccer Club midfielder and Lake Forest native Angela Waddle has committed to play for Vanderbilt's women's soccer team.
Waddle, who will be a senior at Lake Forest High School this fall, will kick off her collegiate career for the Nashville-based Southeastern Conference program.
"I'm very excited," Waddle said. "It has always been a part of the country where I've wanted to go to school. I visited the area, the city of Nashville, and of course Vanderbilt's academics are great. I always wanted to go south for college."
Waddle will join a Vanderbilt team guided by head coach Derek Greene.
"He's a positive and encouraging guy, and I really like that attitude in a coach," Waddle said of Greene. "He's really excited about the upcoming season, and that has made me really excited about the program. We talked about where I would be playing, and my ideal position would be in the center midfield. I've always been in the midfield, and I'm pretty versatile."
The SEC also will have a newly competitive look when Waddle joins as Missouri and Texas A&M are brought into the fold.
"That was a huge draw for me as a player to play in the SEC, which all-around is strong in athletics," Waddle said. "I'm looking forward to being a part of it."
Waddle's sister, Georgia, helped her through the college process as she is coming off her freshman campaign with Northwestern.
"I definitely used her as a resource because she's been through it," Waddle said of her older sister. "The biggest advice she had for me was to look at the overall school and where you really want to go. For her, staying close to home was a big factor and the best fit for her. She's definitely helped me with that and has given me soccer advice. But choosing the school that best fit me was the biggest thing."
Waddle recently wrapped up her Elite Clubs National League season with the U-16s, contributing a goal as the team took fifth place in the 2012 ECNL National Championship event in Waukegan. The club as a whole finished sixth overall for the 2011-12 season. Waddle has an August birthday, so while she has played regularly for Eclipse Select's U-16 team, she is in the same grade as many of Eclipse Select's U-17 players.
Waddle joined Eclipse Select several years ago and said the move has been invaluable.
"I came here at U-13, and Eclipse was a huge change for me," Waddle said. "You see the difference from a passion standpoint, and when you're with Eclipse they focus on a lot more of the mental aspects of the game. I think that's where I've greatly improved having been here. I have a much stronger mental attitude, I'm more competitive and passionate, and the coaches have been great."
Being a two-way player in the midfield, Waddle credits the club for helping her with all aspects of the position.
"They really stress defensive work and are committed on defending," Waddle said. "That was something that wasn't my focus before joining Eclipse, but I've improved as a defender since I have been here."

FOSTER -- HereŌĆÖs a strange, but true fact: heading into its Thanksgiving Day duel with Burrillville, Ponaganset had lost its last four games, and seven of its last eight, at home on The Reservation.
But the Chieftains silenced their home woes and a four-game losing streak on Thursday by riding a solid effort from their senior class to a 27-0 victory over the Broncos before a large gathering.
WOONOCKET ŌĆō Chris Skurka had no intention on letting up.
Despite a more important playoff game early next week, the Cumberland High coach planned to have his red-hot squad go full throttle against Woonsocket in their annual Thanksgiving Day contest.
He lied. Well, sort of.
The Clippers scored four times in the first quarter, found the end zone again in the second quarter and gave the reserves some ample playing time after halftime in cruising to a 35-6 rout of the Villa Novans on Thursday morning.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō There was no slippage or signs of letup. For playoff-bound Central Falls, it was simply full speed ahead.
ThursdayŌĆÖs 34-0 holiday win against Lincoln High was just what C.F. head coach Mo Jackson was looking for. His Warriors raced to a commanding 27-0 halftime lead behind three touchdown passes from quarterback Brandon Canuto, who completed 9-of-11 passes for 247 yards.
SCITUATE --- Scituate made it interesting and competitive for a full quarter, but the winless Spartans ended up becoming nothing more than a minor speed bump in North SmithfieldŌĆÖs drive to the Division IV regular-season title.
The visiting Northmen erased a first-quarter deficit by erupting for 28 second-quarter points and cruising to a 60-13 rout at Caito Field that iced the squadŌĆÖs first regular-season championship in its 44-year existence.
When it comes to Thanksgiving Day and sports, the one thing that comes to most people's mind is football with the traditional high school games that are played each year and the NFL tripleheader that annually features the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions in two of the respective contests.
According to accomplished race director Charlie Breagy, Turkey Day is a popular holiday for another sport, too.
ŌĆ£It's the biggest running day in America,ŌĆØ he confirmed. ŌĆ£I guess a lot of people do it because they know they are going to eat a big dinner later.ŌĆØ
NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆō His all-out smile that charms in an instant, affable personality and cordial ŌĆ£Yes, sirŌĆØ response allows Paris Correia to fit in at North Smithfield High. His relentless desire to attack the opposition on the football field with impetuous abandon is also a plus, for sure.
Yet is hasnŌĆÖt always been that simple.
Central Falls and North Smithfield arenŌĆÖt Thanksgiving football rivals but the two Division IV playoff teams are inextricably linked this week.
They are linked because if North Smithfield defeats Scituate on Thursday morning, it wins No. 1 seed in next weekŌĆÖs playoffs and would host No. 4 seed Central Falls in the semifinal round scheduled for next Tuesday evening.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt want my guys to overlook Scituate,ŌĆØ North Smithfield coach Wes Pennington said on Sunday when the potential playoff matchup with Central Falls was raised.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō During a time when school budgets are slashed and teachers are in dire need for resources and incentives for their students, National Grid Foundation scored an assist in providing a $30,000 grant to support the Providence Hoops for the Stars Program.
Hoops for the Stars is a partnership program that provides inner-city students with the opportunity to earn tickets to Providence College menŌĆÖs basketball games in return for hard work in the classroom and positive behavior in the community.
Ponaganset and Burrillville could both use a win on Thursday to finish their seasons with a good taste in their mouths.
Each squad struggled this season. Ponaganset missed the playoffs with a 3-4 record in Division II-B while Burrillville suffered through a 1-7 season in Division III.
Burrillville won this holiday game 21-0 last year on its home field. The Broncos lead the series, 14-11.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö It has been said more than a few times that success in high school sports comes in cycles. Talented players sometimes come in cohesive groups of classmates who win games from middle school on up through high school. And when they graduate, sometimes the cupboard is empty.
That could be the story of Woonsocket HighŌĆÖs football program, which won the last two Division II Super Bowls before falling back to earth this season, finishing 1-6 in league action.

Council votes to demolish old Triplett's Mill
Date published: 3/8/2011
Theyre taking away my liberties, said Gary Triplett after the Town Council voted 63 to demolish his old family feed store, milling operation and an adjacent house on the Sperryville Pike.
Tripletts Mill, which ceased its feed-grinding operation in the early 1970s, has sat abandoned across from the Fairview Cemetery for more than a decade.
Meanwhile, the buildings and feed bins on the one-plus acre lot have been falling into disrepair and constitute a safety hazard, according to the town staff.
In December of 2009, the town sent the Triplett family a letter saying, in effect, either you clean up the lot or we will.
According to Patrick Mulhern, director of planning and community development, the town received no response from the Triplett family.
Gary Triplett, who was not allowed to speak during last nights meeting, said that isnt so.
There was a way this could have been worked out, he contends, adding that the town actually owns the first inch of the property facing the pike.
Unless legal action stops the process, the town will tear down the Tripletts Mill structures and put a $49,000 lien against the property.
But the towns wrecking ball will not stop there. The same motion that condemned the Triplett property also claimed the Blair House on West Street and the old town police station at the corner of West and Cameron streets.
There was little discussion about the Blair House, which has been a hot topic for almost five years. The Town Council has made numerous attempts to save that structure, which will be removed to widen West Street. No one has been willing to move it to a new location.
But Vice Mayor Billy Yowell and Councilman Dan Boring did question the demolition of the old town police station.
Have we ever decided that we wanted to tear [it] down? Yowell asked.
Mayor Chip Coleman said that tearing the cinder block building down was part of a recommendation that came out of committee.
When Boring wanted to vote on the three demolition projects separately, Town Manager Jeff Muzzy said that the trio was part of a package deal with the M.B. Russell Company ($85,000 for all three).

@Squatch - Do you use CC in your heroics? A 333 geared tank doesn't take much dmg when there is only 1-2 mobs hitting them at a time. (Lemme say this before I get flamed about CC - It's not a bad idea for CC. I've just encountered more DPS and healers bitching and moaning when there is CC involved. So personally, I've stopped using it 99% of the time. I take ALOT more dmg than before but my mitigation and health has balanced that out.)
I don't think that exp or hit are bad stats, I've always had the thought that as our gear increases the need for exp and hit will increase. Vengeance can only do so much for threat once the DPS is pulling double or triple what they are now. At that point we WILL need exp and hit to do our jobs correctly. Until then, meh. Why screw with somethin that ain't broken imo.

Tuesday, the Virginia Court of Appeals said the second-degree murder conviction of George Huguely will stand.
His defense team wanted a new trial for the 2010 death of his ex-girlfriend Yeardley Love.
Another chapter of this case is now over, but it's unclear what the next steps are for Huguely.
State Court of Appeals Judge Randolph Beales details in his 34-page opinion why Huguely's second-degree murder conviction stands.
"People might quibble about the result but the trial, the process was very well done," said NBC29 legal analyst Lloyd Snook.
Snook says he isn't surprised Huguely's appeal was rejected.
"I thought that Judge Hogshire did a very good job under all the circumstances, some trying circumstances, lots of issues, lots of things getting thrown at him. I thought he ran a good trial," Snook said.
Huguely's defense team argued he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to counsel when one of his lawyers became sick during his trial. Defense also raised questions about the jury being fair and impartial.
Yeardley Love and Huguely were both University of Virginia students and lacrosse players. The two were romantically involved.
Marta Murphy, Huguely's mother, said in a statement Tuesday: "We continue in our love and support for George, and our lawyers are evaluating all options to get him a fair trial."
The Love family also released a statement, saying: "We are relieved and ready to put this chapter behind us so that we can devote our full efforts toward building the One Love Foundation."
Snook says Huguely's team could now go in a number of directions, including asking the Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision based on facts, or taking it to the state Supreme Court.
"I don't think there is any basis that I can see for a petition for rehearing. I didn't see a petition for rehearing en banc. Obviously these are issues they would like to take onto the Virginia Supreme. I suspect that'll be their next step," Snook said.
The attorney general's office also released a statement Tuesday, saying it is pleased with the decision.

March 10, 2008
Germany's ministry of health on Friday confirmed the recall of a locally produced version of heparin is believed to contain contaminated ingredients from China after dozens of patients suffered adverse reactions.
The drug, produced by RotexMedica GmbH, was pulled from the market Wednesday night.
No one taking the drug in Germany has died, and no other drug companies' products are involved.
Germany's Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices said it believes the complications suffered by the German patients are derived from possibly contaminated ingredients imported from China, the world's leading source of heparin.
A different brand of heparin produced in the United States has been linked to 19 deaths, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
A spokesman for RotexMedica said the company was working together with authorities to clear up the incident.
Authorities in Switzerland said they are also investigating heparin medication in their country as a precautionary measure to determine whether action would be necessary. So far there have been no reports of complications, the Swiss medical authority said.

Topic: How can one fear death, if it is a natural process of life?
- How can one fear death, if it is a natural process of life for physical manifestation through objects for the purpose of evolutionary growth?
Article: Fearless Living by Marcus Thomas
Death, is something we all avoid talking about but, each of us has endured it in life at least once.
It's the one thing we fear, but naturally happens every moment around the world.
Someone in our family dies, we reflect on our own lives.
Thinking, how we've lead this one or could lead it. Considering things we should of said, done or shouldn't have said or done. Then, we usually go back to living life as if, death doesn't change us.
Death does change us. Death is a great reminder for what will come to the body. Death helps us put our lives in perspective. To focus more on the things that matter, and less on the things that don't.
If there is something in your life you want to change, either a relationship with someone, go after a dream, tell someone you love them or you forgive them, the time to do that is now.
Now, is the only time you and I will ever have on this Earth while we are temporarily here, so use it in the best manner possible. It's a illusion to think time is on your side, then to realize and regret you haven't live at all, so be wary of becoming complacent to thinking you have all the time in the world, cause you don't. That's why each moment you have is holy, precious and loving.
Use the time you have to live fearlessly, lovingly, joyfully and peacefully without regrets. You only have this life as you to be you, so go out there and be the best you.
Be the best you, so that your life demonstrate to others they can be the best of themselves. Whether as a writer, artist, mother, husband, child, teacher or philanthropist. Go and live as the best you, you can be.
Surrender all falsity that you have been living and give it up. Drop it where it stands, cause you're here to be authentic as you can be. That's your integrity, your worth and the truth about who you are. That's what counts.
Spend your life loving others and your self as best you can without judgement and being harsh on your self and others. Treat your self tenderly as you would a baby.
Love guides with gentleness not hardship.
That is all. Now go live, and live fearlessly.
"Being in the world & not of the world, means that you are the spirit of God in a body, but you are not your body. When the body dies, the spirit lives eternally. Jesus demonstrated this when he was crucified and resurrected himself as proof that man lives after death. Death is an illusion, so how can you fear it?"
Article: Capitalism & It's Constant Struggle for Morality
Capitalism is a system that is based off a free-market system in the world of so called fear and scarcity. Freedom to run your business they way you desire, for the benefit of profit. But, that opens the door to inequality, corruption, murder, injustice and all forms of harm to the individual for the sake of gaining a profit. Regulating capitalism with laws would make the system better for the benefit of all. Throughout the years, deregulating and regulating has been somewhat a war. Because, that would place a morality on the system. The people (business owners) want their freedom to not be taxed or regulated (by government oversight). Due to the fact, it is going against the principle of capitalism. They see limits being placed on a capitalist system and there presents the conflict.
Thus, it is inevitable that it will always be the conflict within capitalist system. Between individuals and owners. Between owners who desire to run a business and make money without regulations. But at the same time respecting the individuals who operate and work for those owners. It is a material system built of faulty structure, which only will destroy itself in the end. It has no transparency, no honesty, no respect for individuals and no love. So how do you as righteous individuals expect to live within an unlawful, unregulated system on the hope that its owners can be trusted to operate with integrity and treat each other as they want to be treated for the sake of the American Dream?
You will never have that as a whole in the system. Even if you put a few righteous individuals in the system soon, they will become corrupt like everyone else by the profit-driven motive. It is a question of how long it takes. Capitalism has no morality or sense of righteousness. Some individuals do, but not all.
That is why movements like Occupy Wallstreet across the world are rebelling against a immoral system they see is no longer working. That is why those who are wealthy and in power positions (CEO's and Government Leaders) will work together to suppress those groups who are fighting for justice in a unjust system. They will put fear in them by mental, emotional and physical abuse. They will take away their inherent rights as individuals. They will do more corrupt things to keep a faulty system working to preserve their way of material life, even if it doesnt work for everyone, cause it works for them. They do not care about you or your rights. The only way for any real change to affect in this world is to dissolve this system and create a new one. But, you as a individual and as a group have to create a purpose for the system and it has to not be profit-driven. Or, we as individuals we be repeating the same cycle we are trying to break.
Lastly, voting for any president will not change the outcome of the capitalist system either. Not, at this moment. Neither presidential nominees will affect the change you really want. They have not in the past or presently. Maybe in the far future when we get our act together, but not now.
In closing, I am not saying personally, I am against capitalism. I am stating that the system is not perfect and its faulty cause of the premise it was based. Which corrupts the society and individuals from the beginning of its conception. Just look at our healthcare, educational, political, military, governmental, international systems. They are all corrupt because, they are money driven. Change the system, change the outcome.
There is work to be done.

Tomorrow, January 25th, is the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, widely recognized as Scotland's national poet. Burns was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1759. His father was a tenant farmer, and Burns' early life was one of poverty and hardship. Though he had little regular schooling, Burns wrote original poems and songs, and he also collected many folk songs of Scotland. Some of his best known works are Auld Lang Syne, Scots Wha Hae, A Man's A Man for A' That, To

Emily Dickinson was born in 1830, and died in 1886. Emily was one of the most prolific poets in our country. She wrote nearly 1800 poems. Emily lived her life at the family home in Amherst, Mass. She rarely left her father's house and grounds during her whole life, and rarely saw other people besides members of her immediate family. Her father gave her permission to write late at night in her upstairs bedroom when the rest of the household was quiet and asleep. Her poems were about love, death, art, grief, and gardens.

VMware ESX Server 3i
Summary: ESX Server 3i is the easiest hypervisor to install and use. It's based on VMware's ESX Server code, making it among the most stable and mature virtualisation options available.
ESX Server 3i is the latest version of VMware's industry-leading hypervisor. Although you can still buy its big brother, ESX Server, ESX 3i is now the main front line VMware hypervisor. Rather than choosing between ESX Server and ESX 3i, people should probably install ESX 3i and pick a suitable license. More detail on the differences between the two products are available on VMware's web site.
The entry-level ESX 3i is available free of charge for servers with two processors, each one with up to six cores. Although it makes a solid platform for running virtual machines (VMs), it doesn't provide datacentre automation capabilities such as High Availability (HA) or Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS). HA automatically restarts a failed VM on an alternative ESX server, while DRS automatically balances the workload of several VMs across a farm of ESX servers. If you need these features, you must buy one of a range of licences for ESX 3i and VMware VirtualCenter Server (VCS). ESX 3i licences can be bought individually or in one of three bundles &msash; Foundation, Standard and Enterprise. Licences for VCS cost extra, and can be bought as part of bundles called Foundation, Standard and Enterprise Accelerator Kits, which also include ESX 3i licences.
Installation and setup
We tested ESX 3i in ZDNet UK's Labs using an HP ProLiant DL380 server fitted with two 2.8GHz Xeon CPUs and 4GB RAM. Our server had an embedded HP SmartArray 5i Ultra 320 SCSI RAID controller and a SmartArray 5304-256 Ultra 320 SCSI RAID card connected to seven 36.4GB SCSI disks. We configured two RAID 0 LUNS on the second RAID controller, the first was 40GB, and the second 200GB.
Our server hardware is not brand-new, but it's very popular in datacentres, and we had no compatibility problems with our installation. Having said that, you need to check that your server hardware is on the VMware hardware compatibility list if you want to be sure of a successful installation. While most modern server hardware is supported, a few very old or very recent servers may be missing.
The VMware software is very easy to get hold of. We downloaded an ISO image of ESX Server 3i and copied it to a CD. Installation was a matter of booting the ProLiant server from the CD, waiting about 5 minutes for it to load the Thin ESX Installer tool, and then making four keystrokes to begin copying the software, one of which was used to select the LUN on which 3i would be installed. The installation took a further 90 seconds to finish.
We were impressed with the simplicity and speed of the installation process: ESX 3i is certainly less hassle to install than either ESX Server or Microsoft's Hyper-V.
However, the main difference between ESX 3i and ESX Server — and other hypervisors — is that 3i does not use a console operating system to host the hypervisor. In contrast, ESX Server uses Red Hat Linux to store and load the hypervisor software, and although VMware administrators will rarely touch the Red Hat console, from time to time they may need to do so — for example, to move files used by VMs to appropriate locations, or (more rarely) to configure the IP address settings used by the service console. Similarly, Hyper-V sits on top of Windows. Some administrators may like the idea of managing their hypervisor via Red Hat or Windows, but in practice we suspect most will prefer the simplicity of the ESX 3i approach.
With ESX 3i, the few settings that must be entered on the hypervisor console are made using a simple text-based menu; other operations, such as moving VM related files, are carried out using remote management tools such as VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client (VIC) and VMware Infrastructure Remote Command Line Interface (RCLI), both discussed below. The console operating system is also a significant potential point of failure. Overall, the absence of a console operating system makes ESX 3i easier to use, and means it requires less maintenance and patching than an ESX Server or Hyper-V based system.
Following the first boot of our ESX 3i server, the ProLiant DL380 screen showed the simple text-based menu mentioned above, which allowed us to do some basic configuration of the ESX 3i environment. For example, we could configure suitable networking parameters and set an administrator password.
The ESX3i welcome page has links for downloading Virtual Infrastructure Client (VIC), which you can use to add virtual machines (VMs) to the server.
It took a moment to activate these changes, whereupon we could make our initial network connection to the hypervisor using a web browser on our management server. This took us to the ESX3i welcome page (see above), which had links for downloading VIC — which most people will use to add VMs to their server. Once VMs have been added, VIC is also used to start and stop them, and configure all the other settings used in the virtual environment, such as where they are stored and which networks they are connected to.
The welcome page also has a link to download VCS (VirtualCenter Server), but you'll need to buy licences to use this after the 60-day trial period. The main benefit of the entry-level VCS version is that it allows multiple ESX systems to be managed from a single graphical console. VCS Standard edition also provides the automated datacentre HA feature, while VCS Enterprise includes DRS and VMotion. The latter enables VMs to be moved from one ESX server to another without incurring any downtime. VMotion is considered one of VMware's crown jewels because it means VMs can be kept running while being moved to another host server, allowing the original hypervisor software or even the host hardware to be upgraded or replaced without any downtime. A similar feature, allowing a VM to be moved to a different host with only a slight pause to the VM operating system, can be accomplished without VCS using PowerShell and RCLI scripts.
We downloaded and installed VIC. The ESX 3i Welcome page also had a link to download RCLI tools. This led to a page on the VMware web site from where we could download the tools as software for Windows and Linux, as well as in a Virtual Appliance (VA, which is a preconfigured VM). The VA format is not recommended for production environments, but as we didn't want to install too much software on our management system we took this option.
Virtual Infrastructure Client (VIC) has a link for importing a Virtual Appliance (VA), although this didn't work in our test setup.

'I never meant for this to happen': woman who set deadly rooming-house fire
A courtroom was filled this morning with family and friends of the five victims of a July 2011 rooming house fire who came together for the sentencing hearing of the woman responsible for those deaths.
Lulonda Flett, 42, set a couch on fire that quickly spread to a three-storey rooming house in Point Douglas.
Court was told that a deeply intoxicated Flett had set the fire to scare the mother and teenaged sister of her boyfriend, who lived on the first floor. But the intended victims were able to escape unharmed, while the fire trapped six people on the second and third floors, five of whom died from smoke inhalation.
The fire was described by both defence and Crown counsel as a unique crime in Manitoba's history.
Crown prosecutor Liz Thomson told the court that Flett was originally charged with five counts of second-degree murder, but that was lowered to manslaughter because Flett was severely intoxicated when she set the fire and claimed she never meant to hurt anyone.
Flett pleaded guilty to five counts of manslaughter and one count of arson at trial in October. Sentencing has been delayed for the completion of several reports, which were finally ready for today.
Thomson told Justice Deborah McCawley that the horror of Flett's actions demanded she be sentenced to concurrent life sentences. The manslaughter conviction ensures Flett would not be eligible for parole for seven years, and the life sentences would then subject her to supervision from justice officials for the rest of her life.
Defence counsel Darren Sawchuk said that based on precedents for similar offences involving arson and death, Flett should be given a sentence in the range of eight to 10 years.
'Deeply sorry': Flett
At the conclusion of the hearing, McCawley reserved judgment on sentencing for a later date.
Flett made an emotional appeal to the families of the victims following the lunchtime break, asking them for their forgiveness and blaming her addiction to alcohol for her actions.
McCawley gave Flett permission to leave the prisoner box and to turn and face the public gallery. Flett immediately broke into tears as she read her statement.
"I am deeply sorry for what I have done," Flett said. "I really hope you forgive me for what happened.
"I never meant for this to happen. I cry myself to sleep knowing I can't change what happened."
Flett sobbed as she was led out of the courtroom, handcuffed and feet shackled.
Earlier in the day, several individuals in the public gallery broke into tears as Michelle Wazny read a statement to the court, detailing the impact the death of her brother, Robert Laforte, has had on her and her family.
Wazny read out her brother's name and age and the names and ages of the other victims and added: "They deserve to be remembered today — and every day."
Wazny said firefighters had pulled her brother from the burning rooming but he was so badly injured he was placed on life support with no chance of recovery. Her mother agreed to remove Robert from life support and he struggled on to live for several more hours, prompting officials as HSC to transfer him to Riverview Health Centre, where his life slowly ebbed away from him.
"I held his hand so tight and cried and pleaded with God," to take him, "but he continued to struggle for several more hours," Wazny said.
Flett had drinking problem, had been abused
Thomson said that Flett had a long-running dispute with her boyfriend's mother and teenaged sister that culminated in the early hours of July 16, 2011. Flett set fire to a couch on the front porch and the flames spread to the rest of the house.
Flett then ran off to a nearby residence where she met up with her boyfriend and admitted to him that she had set the fire.
Police found Flett later that day drinking at the bar at the nearby Northern Hotel.
Sawchuk said that Flett was "grossly intoxicated" that day and had been drunk for several days.
Thomson said that a pre-sentence report on Flett found that she has an intellectual and cognitive deficit, a severe drinking problem, poor language skills and is easily angered.
Sawchuk said that Flett had been sexually abused for several years as a child and then physically abused by her first husband. He described her as "a vulnerable person, a victim of neglect and abuse … who numbed herself with alcohol for years."
The sentencing hearing resumes this afternoon.
Updated on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 12:32 PM CDT: Corrects Flett's current age.
2:01 PM: Update from court

After driving our Colorado to the corner store and back to warm the oil up a bit, we parked on a level section of our driveway and and chocked the rear tires. Then we jacked the front of the truck up at the front crossmember just enough to slide the drain pan underneath and support the frame on two jackstands. Now might be a good time to put on some nitrile or latex gloves, it's gonna get messy. We removed our oil filter first, and it only required a firm grip. If your filter has been overtightened, a strap-style wrench is your best bet. Driving a screwdriver through the filter body isn't even a good last resort, as you might end up with half of a jagged metal filter canister to deal with. Make sure the old gasket comes off whole, or it could prevent the new filter from sealing.

Mitt Romney can still win this thing
Rick Perry is the flavour of the month in US politics. According to the latest Fox News Poll, the Texas governor is the first choice of 26 percent of GOP primary voters, with Mitt Romney behind him at 18 per cent. No one else is in double figures; even Sarah Palin is languishing at 8 per cent. With a debate looming on September 7, the media is saying that if Perry outshines Michele Bachmann then he'll scoop the Tea Party vote. Given the conservative domination of the Republican process, that would make him unbeatable. So are the primaries basically over?
The media does this every four years. They start by randomly picking a frontrunner (usually someone the editor roomed with at Yale). Then they give him all the airtime they can divert from whatever "has-been" is making a fool of himself on Dancing With The Stars that week. After a couple of months they get bored and start flagging up challengers. The polls go wild and the leading position yoyos from candidate to candidate. Consider what was happening in the Republican primaries on September 2 in the last three contested races:
1. In September 1995, frontrunner Bob Dole had just tied with Texas Senator Phil Gramm in the Iowa Straw Poll. Pat Buchanan had placed a narrow second place. "Bob Dole is slipping," reported Richard L Berke of the New York Times and the big story in the media was that conservative voters were looking for someone else to vote for. A few weeks later, businessman Steve Forbes entered the race and shot ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire. Dole was widely considered finished. Final result: Bob Dole gets the nomination anyway.
2. In September 1999, frontrunner George W Bush had just walked the Iowa Straw Poll. John McCain, the candidate who would prove his most serious opponent, had struggled to crack single figures. Steve Forbes performed strongly enough to rattle Bush and pundits were finally talking about a "two man race". The media was convinced that Bush was about to sink in the polls because he rarely visited Iowa and seemed disconnected from the race. Richard L Berke wrote another obituary, this time for Bush: "[The candidate] conducts himself in ways that are appealing to some and off-putting to others. He is forever mugging for the cameras, winking at reporters from the lectern and entertaining people with his impression of Dr. Evil." Final result: George W Bush gets the nomination anyway.
3. In September 2007, former frontrunner John McCain was practically out of the race. Mitt Romney had just won the Iowa Straw Poll and Rudy Giuliani was way ahead of everyone in national polls. Fred Thompson was about to enter the race and was presumed to be the ascendant conservative leader (largely because he had played a Right-wing lawyer on Law and Order). Final result: John McCain gets the nomination anyway.
In short, history shows that five months before voting starts is too early to predict the winner of the Republican primaries. The media needs to cool it on Rick Perry, who hasn't been running long enough to showcase all his weaknesses. In 2008, Fred Thompson was lauded as the new frontrunner until he joined the debates. When voters realised that he was a cynical old curmudgeon, he disappeared from sight. Perry has plenty of time to make mistakes, and he's made a good start. Threatening to injure the Chairman of the Federal Reserve was a doozy.
Perry's rise isn't being discussed in terms of his brilliance (the media are uniformly skeptical) but in terms of Romney's vulnerability. He remains the Mormon to beat. According to the National Journal Political Insiders Poll, more than two-thirds of "Republican insiders" think Romney is the stronger candidate against Obama. Part of their reasoning is that Perry is a base candidate – he can win big in the South and the Midwest. But Romney can challenge Obama in Pennsylvania, Ohio and bits of the Northeast (Maine, New Hampshire). Republican primary voters take considerations like these more seriously than Democrats do. They have a tradition for picking the candidate who starts soonest, spends the most and never looks anything but Presidential. Ergo, it's likely that Romney will turn things around by Christmas.
Of course, anything can happen in politics – as the voters well know. Fox News has also discovered that 51 percent of Americans expect riots like the ones in Europe to happen in the US. That's why it's never a good thing to dismiss outsider candidates like Bachmann or Paul – even if the media really, really wants to. Strange times might require something stranger than either Romney or Perry. Heck, it's not too late for Donald Trump to get back in the race.

TEAMS: Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, St. Louis Rams
Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has agreed to become an assistant head coach for defense for the Tennessee Titans, CBSSports.com reported Sunday, based on league source. Williams cannot be officially added to the Titans staff until he is reinstated to the league after being suspended for a year as a result of his part in the Bountygate affair. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to meet with Williams next week to discuss his reinstatement. It's unclear the exact role Williams would fill with his title of assistant head coach-defense, but presumably he would act as defensive coordinator. This would be Williams' second stint with the Titans, having previously served as an assistant coach there from 1997 to 2000, when he served under then Titans coach Jeff Fisher, now coach of the St. Louis Rams.

Positive viber!!!!
It was grate days of peace, relax and join.. Room was comfortable and clean, fool kitchen set, amazing view. Move in took like 10-15 min, so we didn't wait so long as we had experience before in other condos, we was really surprise with my wife. Highly recommend this place for a vacation for those who want reall vacation, without crowd, noise, crazy music and crazy people like at south beach. 5 stars!!!!!
Great place for a vacation!
This is a great location with an owner who takes great care of the people using the condo. You can't get any closer to the beach than this. Restaurants, supermarket, pizza right across the street are convenient to use. Room is nicely furnished and has small refrigerator, microwave, etc. Good view of cruise ships leaving Ft. Lauderdale terminal in the evenings. Check with owner on current building construction next door; a little noisy on the balcony and when work starts in the mornings. No problem inside with TV on. Looking forward to another visit in the future.

Little Big Planet Review
Posted by Billy Turrican Withers, Nov 20, 2008 18:48
Games are a fickle thing. One minute we're all chucking bullets at anything that moves, the next sees a change of momentum bringing about cooking games with a dash of puzzle. What I'm trying to get at is the situation we find ourselves in with regards to the games industry. There has been an influx of first person shooters and all the usual suspects over the past 12 months and there is a scary thought entering people's minds. Where is the originality? Is there any more creative spark out there on the shelves?
Now, I'm not saying the games we get are bad, but the job Little Big Planet does for not just the Playstation 3, but for games players in general, is nothing short of epic. This is Sony's big title of the year and they're pinning all their hopes on a little man made of fabric who can do what he likes. I'm not going to beat around the bush here, the fact is this is, for me anyway, 2008's game of the year and this review is pretty much going to go through the reasons as to why.
The graphics are really nothing short of stunning. There is not only an enormous amount of beauty on display here, but when you first crack the seal, power up your console and let your eyes sink the visuals in; you almost feel instant warmth towards the way it looks. Sackboy is adorable and helps to contribute to the game and its scrapbook styling. The colors are as vibrant a rainbow breaking through the cloudy skyline and so rich in substance that you can be often forgiven for thinking the line between interactive software and animated short is getting a bit more blurry. Little Big Planet isn't something which is going to go for detailed realism and have maps of cities recreated down to the most accurate level or try to ensure a character looks so much like his real life counterpart, but then it never needed to. What it does do is provide your optic nerves with something fun and interesting. A masterpiece painted by the joypad generation and for that we are grateful.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think there is some bias towards AV-- WSG, in my estimation (might be wrong), is easily the most played of all the BGs, not to mention you can get in there starting at level 10. And not only does AV not let you in until level 50 (when you've probably already spent tons of time getting to that point), but battles take much longer as well.
So yes, if you want, you could avoid BGs until 50 and then just hack away in AV for two hour games at a time and rack up tons of rep (compared to grinding WSG at level 19). But I think Blizzard has designed it so that rep is a nice bonus, but isn't the main focus. They'd rather you play what you want when you can, rather than worrying about grinding BG rep towards those rewards.

The Sacramento Kings were pretty awful once again last year.
After yet another bad start, the Kings fired head coach Paul Westphal and replaced him with Keith Smart who appears to have had more success relating to the team's young players.
DeMarcus Cousins showed improvement while Isaiah Thomas was also developed nicely in his rookie season.
That development didn't help much in the win column though as the team finished 22-44 and were no where near the playoffs.
Analysis: The Kings were thrilled when Robinson fell to them at No. 5. He is a strong athletic big man with an NBA ready body. Robinson is also a terrific rebounder, explosive jumper and a very physical, tough defender.
Formidable Frontcourt - Kings fans should be salivating at the future potential of a Robinson-Cousins front court. Given time to develop their chemistry, that duo could become one of the most feared big man tandems in the NBA. Throw in Jason Thompson and the Kings have the ability to go big and pound the ball inside with the best in the NBA. If the Kings run their offence through the interior like they should, it will also help their outside shooters as opponents are forced to collapse into the paint.
Cousins averaged 18.7 points and 11.0 rebounds last season. Can he reach All-Star status?
Score Some More - The Kings problem was stopping the ball last year, not scoring it. The Kings finished the 2011-12 season averaging 98.8 points per game, good enough for sixth in the NBA. They could easily improve on those numbers and eclipse 100+ points per contest this season with the talent they have on offence. All of their starters can fill the hoop and reserves like John Salmons, Aaron Brooks and even Jimmer Fredette can also light it up if they get hot.
Leaky Defence - As good as the Kings were at scoring last season they were even better at letting their opponents score. No team was worse in points allowed than the Kings who gave up an atrocious 104.4 points per game. The Kings made no major moves other than drafting Thomas Robinson to shore up their defence this off-season so it's reasonable to assume the Kings will once again be among the NBA's worst. defensively
Get ready for the season with the latest from TSN.ca.
Problems With Sharing - The Kings have a lot of good scorers on the roster but they are not long on facilitators. Last season the Kings were 26th in the NBA in assists. Their biggest off-season acquisition was Aaron Brooks who is yet another player that is more of a shoot-first guy than a true point guard. With so many guys who want to shoot the Kings really need a better ball distributor.
Ignore The Rumours - The uncertainty surrounding the Kings' future in Sacramento looms like a black cloud on the franchise. The constant distraction of where the team will end up will not make things any easier on the young team.
X Factor: DeMarcus CousinsHe is the team's star but his development is key to the Kings success. He has been labelled as having a bad attitude and poor team guy in the past but is evolving into a terrific NBA talent. He could be primed to make a big jump to a true All-Star level, and if he does it will mean big things for the Kings' future.
What to ExpectThere are reasons to feel positive about the Kings future with some of the young talent they have. Unfortunately the future isn't now. The Playoffs seem like a pipe dream at this point as the team is likely a year or two away from becoming a legitimate threat. Another trip to the lottery is the most likely outcome for the Kings this year.
Jason ThompsonThomas RobinsonJames Robinson
DeMarcus CousinsChuck Hayes
Tyreke EvansJohn SalmonsTravis OutlawTyler Honeycutt
Marcus ThorntonFrancisco Garcia
Isaiah ThomasAaron BrooksJimmer Fredette
The Kings continued to prove this summer why they have fallen so far from the NBA's vanguard.
They drafted Thomas Robinson in June, then gave Jason Thompson $30-million this summer to keep playing Thomas's power forward position.
They signed Aaron Brooks, who is yet another pseudo-point guard and another guy (along with Tyreke Evans, John Salmons, Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette) who needs the ball in his hands to be effective.
There is no balance on this roster and every move seems to be made with no consideration for the pre-existing makeup of the team.
The Kings begin their season on the road in Chicago against the Bulls on Halloween.

There is no doubt the government will make precisely the wrong policy choice in the wake of Pike River.
Governments always do. The cry will be "It must never happen again!" Legislation will be drafted and passed. Worthy speeches will be made. People will believe, finally, that something has been done. There will be much backslapping.
And then disaster will repeat. There is an inevitable cycle to failed policy. And ever-more regulation is a failed policy.
But ever-increasing regulation is hard-wired into the DNA of New Zealand politics. It's not the default position in response to any problem, it's the only position. The only debate is about how much and what type.
The Royal Commission is clear: Pike River Coal directors, management and, indeed, miners, put profit ahead of safety. And the regulator, the Department of Labour, didn't do its job.
The evidence, analysis and conclusions are unassailable. The bare facts speak for themselves. The fault is the resulting policy prescription: it doesn't fix the problem identified.
Ticking the boxes
The department failed to enforce existing regulations. More regulations won't improve bureaucratic performance. It will make it worse.
More regulation makes it harder for a department to tick all the boxes. And businesses and civil servants become more and more preoccupied with form filling and box ticking than ensuring safe workplace culture.
Proper process and ticking the boxes become the substitute for actually ensuring safety, and correct procedure followed the sure-fire excuse should anything go wrong.
We then have the "profits before safety" problem. More and more regulation doesn't alter that basic equation. Safety is a cost, a constraint, an add-on to the business of business, the making of profit. More regulation doesn't change that dynamic.
Imagine this. Imagine managers and directors were personally liable for accidents. Not strictly liable. But liable for negligence. The dynamic would change overnight.
The business would have to seek insurance. It would need to do so before the business even started.
An insurance company would do a far better job than the failed Department of Labour, or any other department for that matter, in ensuring the business was safe.
Best safety practice would be built into the business to ensure profits. Its very success and survival would depend on it.
It would no longer be "profits before safety". It would be "safety to ensure profit". Risky mines, risky ventures, risky practices would never get off the ground. They wouldn't get the insurance necessary to start.
The argument against tort for negligence is that it's the ambulance at the bottom of the hill – and depends on lengthy and expensive legal process following an accident. That's true. And it's a big negative.
Rearranging deck chairs
But the big plus is not the result should there be an accident but the incentive on everyone to ensure there isn't an accident to begin with.
The problem at Pike River was that no one – workers, managers, directors, departmental heads and staff – was incentivised to ensure a safe workplace and safe work practice.
Regulation was a cost. And enforcing them a pain. For everyone.
That's what needs to change. And all the regulation in the world won't produce that change.
The Royal Commission recommends a standalone Crown agency to take responsibility for health and safety. That's rearranging the deck chairs. It doesn't change the problematic dynamic that caused the disaster.
The commission concluded, "Oversight of health and safety planning should start early in the life cycle of a mining project". That's absolutely right.
But seriously, is making a government-approved Health and Safety plan a requirement to applying for a mining permit the proper way of doing that? I doubt it.
We are going to get a new bureaucracy, further legislation, more red tape but no extra safety. Bank on it. It's in our DNA.

Police have arrested a Lowell man in connection with a fatal shooting in Lawrence last summer.
Rafael Martinez was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty Monday to charges including murder in connection with the July shooting of Timothy Walker.
Prosecutors say Martinez shot the 20-year-old Walker in the head with a shotgun as he sat with friends on his grandmother's front porch in Lawrence. He was taken to a Boston hospital where he died the next day.
Authorities got a break when they recently released surveillance video of the shooting.
Police allege the 19-year-old Martinez told a friend it was him in the video.
His public defender did not argue for bail.
