With the release of Windows 8, everything's gone very Metro in style. As well as a new look for Windows and other software and services from Microsoft, third party developers are getting in on the act, creating programs that look vastly different from the previous generation of Windows' apps and tying nicely with the look of the latest version of the operating system. This is exactly what we find with Immersive Explorer, a Windows 8/Metro style Explorer replacement tool.
Unlike most file browsers, Immersive Explorer lets you focus on what you want to do with your files rather than having to think about how you are going to go about doing it. The program adopts the same look as the Windows 8 Start menu, making it easy to navigate through your filers and folder with a slick, stylish interface.
The name of the app comes from the fact that you are not forced into using other tools to complete different tasks. The example given is that when you want to view an image, there is no need to use your file browser to navigate to the file in question and then load it up in a separate viewer. With Immersive Explorer you can view the image directly within the app window.
Immersive Explorer is finally final and out of beta.
Build 1.0.8 brings these changes:
-set the expiration date to 2014/08/20
-new: mouse wheel behavior default setting: Switch back/next if the pointer is near the top or bottom of the window - Zoom in/out otherwise
-improved: pinch-to-zoom support in the image viewer
-fixed: the window no longer bounces when scrolling using touch
-fixed: if the taskbar was docked at the top or the left of the screen, the window would be displayed at the wrong place when switching to full screen

I love Burt's Bees stuff, I have everything from toothpaste to lotions, but this lip gloss is probably my favorite. Just the right amount of shininess without being heavy, and my lips are so soft! Talk about affordable luxury! Read full review »
pucker worthy
I found this product to be a great natural beauty solution. I think it provides just the right amount of subtle color and shine. I am not a big lipstick wearer and I mostly stick to softly colored glosses and this fits great for me. It keeps my lips from getting chapped and still looks great. Read full review »
Well, the only reason why I have given it four stars is that I really loved the color and the faint glimmer. It looks lovely, but as I mentioned elsewhere, burt's lip products are way too sticky and makes me feel uncomfortable. Read full review »
Color without Lipstick
Although this lipcolor comes with a shimmer but it is still safe for office use. I don't like to wear lipstick on daily basis so I use this. These sticks provide nourishment as well giving the hint of color. Read full review »
I love just about any product by Burt's Bees, but I am super impressed by their lip glosses. Adds color to your lips but without the heaviness of lipstick. It is more like a gloss... and smells great, too. Great therapy to keep your lips from becoming dry in the winter weather. It can... Read full review »

Conan O'Brien Announces His Starring Role in 'Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda'
Conan O'Brien is growing weary of his talk-show hosting gig. The man wants to be an A-list movie star with a glitzy role in a juicy blockbuster, along with the respect of his peers and maybe even some awards acknowledgement. This, of course, is why O'Brien is starring in Syfy's 'Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda.'

Give her some pencils and paper, and Marla Lawson will recreate the face of evil.
"This is my most famous sketch. Everybody has seen that sketch," said Lawson, a forensic artist with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.
The sketch is of Eric Rudolph, the Centennial Olympic Park bomber. It's the sketch that propelled Lawson to a 16-year career with the GBI. At the time, she was working at the Coweta County jail.
"The ATF, the GBI, the FBI, they all came to the jail. I actually had to draw Rudolph and Charles Stone, who worked for the GBI task force for the bombings, looked over at me and asked if I was happy. And I said no," Lawson said.
Stone called later that night.
"He asked me if I would like to be the first ever forensic artist for the state of Georgia. I said yes," Lawson said.
Lawson started her career in 1975 working for the Atlanta Police Department. Back then there were no forensic artists.
She did a little bit of everything at the A.P.D. only producing sketches when she was asked. But during the Atlanta child murders investigation from 1979-81, that all changed.
"I did 75 composite drawings during that period of time," Lawson said.
And she said most of those were done after meeting with psychics.
"The detectives would call me up and say you have to meet with a physic tonight. She wants to be at a hotel room on a southwest part of town," Lawson said.
Lawson also reconstructs skulls and bones. She's reproduced faces that led to names and identities. Over the years Lawson has breathed life into dead cases. As the first and longest tenured forensic artist in Georgia, Lawson has seen and played a part in every high profile case. But after more than 30 years, she's calling it quits.
"I am so happy. I hate to say that because I have had a nice time and I have enjoyed it but it's time to go," said Lawson.
Friday is her last day, but the GBI won't be without a Lawson for long. Kelly Lawson, who is Marla Lawson's daughter, will be taking over for the legend.
"It does put a lot of pressure on me, but I'm ready to take on the challenge and excited about it," said Kelly Lawson. "She's real smart. She's a lot smarter than I am and she is a lot more capable," Marla Lawson said.
Marla Lawson doesn't know what is next, but she said she's in no rush to figure it out.

Unschooling is a range of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences, including play, game play, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, rather than through a more traditional school curriculum. There are many who find it controversial. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities, often initiated by the children themselves, facilitated by the adults. Unschooling differs from conventional schooling principally in the thesis that standard curricula and conventional grading methods, as well as other features of traditional schooling, are counterproductive to the goal of maximizing the education of each child.
The term "unschooling" was coined in the 1970s and used by educator John Holt, widely regarded as the "father" of unschooling. While often considered a subset of homeschooling, unschoolers may be as philosophically separate from other homeschoolers as they are from advocates of conventional schooling. While homeschooling has been subject to widespread public debate, little media attention has been given to unschooling in particular. Popular critics of unschooling tend to view it as an extreme educational philosophy, with concerns that unschooled children lack the social skills, structure, and motivation of their peers, especially in the job market, while proponents of unschooling say exactly the opposite is true: self-directed education in a natural environment makes a child more equipped to handle the "real world."
Children are Natural Learners
A fundamental premise of unschooling is that curiosity is innate and that children want to learn. From this an argument can be made that institutionalizing children in a so-called "one size fits all" or "factory model" school is an inefficient use of the children's time, because it requires each child to learn a specific subject matter in a particular manner, at a particular pace, and at a particular time regardless of that individual's present or future needs, interests, goals, or any pre-existing knowledge he or she might have about the topic.
Many unschoolers believe that opportunities for valuable hands-on, community-based, spontaneous, and real-world experiences are missed when educational opportunities are limited to those inside a school building.
The Role of Parents
The child-directed nature of unschooling does not mean that unschooling parents don't provide their children with guidance and advice, or that parents refrain from sharing things they find fascinating or illuminating. These parents generally believe that as adults, they have more experience with the world and greater access to it. They believe in the importance of using this to aid their children in accessing, navigating, and making sense of the world. Common parental activities include sharing interesting books, articles, and activities with their children, helping them find knowledgeable people to explore an interest with (anyone from physics professors to automotive mechanics), and helping them set goals and figure out what they need to do to meet their goals. Unschooling's interest-based nature does not mean that it is a "hands off" approach to education. Parents tend involve themselves, especially with younger children (older children, unless new to unschooling, often need less help finding resources and making and carrying out plans).

The Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara is a 207-room, five-star luxury property that lives up to the Four Seasons brand expectations in terms of location, amenities, and style. The relaxed elegance of the 1920s-era Spanish Colonial architecture and beautifully landscaped grounds give the resort a timeless feel. Only a few hotels in this region can compare; the San Ysidro Ranch is one, but it lacks the Four Seasons' oceanfront location.
There is much to love about the Bacara, a destination resort located on a rocky stretch of coastline about 20 minutes west of Santa Barbara. It has a gorgeous spa, two respected golf courses, top-tier organic Spanish cuisine, a kid- and pet-friendly vibe, and gorgeous coastal scenery. It's expensive, even after you check in, but many guests find the splurge worthwhile.
San Ysidro Ranch is one of the most exclusive, romantic luxury options in not just California, but the entire country. The grounds are stunningly beautiful, with mountain views, fresh air and a secluded location in a well-heeled neighborhood. The cottage-style units are individually furnished with brick fireplaces, stone walls, and four-poster canopy beds (some with private Jacuzzis and outdoor showers). Most units have dazzlingly white tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers and large soaking tubs. The rustic, romantic ambiance has attracted everyone from JFK and Jackie to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. Some guests argue the experience doesn't justify the high price tags, but for honeymooners or couples, it's undeniably a first-class option.
The Canary has been a notable luxury property in Santa Barbara for a number of years, and its purchase by the boutique Kimpton Hotel brand in early 2012 has only increased its appeal. The hotel mixes upscale, classic Santa Barbara decor with a laid-back vibe; the cheerful lobby has pale yellow walls, chandeliers, wrought iron details, and leather couches. The spacious rooms may be the highlight; all are decorated with four-poster beds, hardwood floors, colorful pillows and throws, and bathrooms outfitted in Spanish tile. Tech amenities include iPod docks, flat-screen TVs (both in the room and the bathroom), and Wi-Fi. The hotel's features are plentiful and cater to all types of travelers: meeting rooms, a restaurant serving locally sourced fare, a small rooftop pool, and freebies including a nightly wine hour. The hotel does not have a spa or fitness center, but in-room spa treatments and free access to the gym next door help compensate. It's within walking distance of attractions on State Street, but it's a trek to Stearn's Wharf and the beach; most guests will opt to drive or take the trolley.
The 23-room Inn of the Spanish Garden isn't the most luxurious hotel in Santa Barbara, but it's certainly one of the most charming boutique options (the fireplaces in each room definitely help). It's situated on a residential street, but lies only three blocks from State Street, Santa Barbara's main drag. This hotel has all the essentials -- continental breakfast, free parking, free Wi-Fi -- but the pool is small, the open-air fitness area is smaller, and there's no on-site restaurant. Still, it may be a good option for visitors seeking a quiet, convenient Spanish-style retreat.
The quaint and upscale Simpson House Inn resides in a quiet residential area in an old Victorian home, originally built in 1872. This lovely bed and breakfast features two wrap-around porches on two levels, with wicker chairs overlooking the expansive lush property. The grounds are well maintained with flowering hydrangeas and lime trees. Some outdoor benches are worn and weathered, but it adds to the old-fashioned charm of the inn. Guests have the option of choosing from standard rooms, suites or cottages, which all feature a little patio or balcony, as well as a fireplace. The decor is consistent with the late 1800s, with lovely antiques and brass bathroom fixtures, though at times the floral carpeting or bedding may feel a bit dowdy. The free breakfast (enjoyed in the dining room or from the privacy of guest rooms), evening wine tastings and hors d'oeuvres, and the in-room spa treatments are nice perks.

Audio Archive: Prop 8 Hearing on Trial Video, Judge Vaughn Walker's Same-Sex Relationship
- Part 1: Hearing on whether to release the Prop 8 trial video
- Part 2: Hearing on whether Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself because of his long-term same-sex relationship
Also, here's Scott Shafer's report from this morning's California Report, where you'll hear some of the highlights:
Update: There were many interesting exchanges in the hearing, but here's one, at the very end, that caught the attention of many in the courtroom. Prop 8 attorney Charles Cooper winds up his summation with an impassioned plea to vacate Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling against Prop 8 due to the fact that Walker himself was in a long-term same-sex relationship. Cooper ends with the warning that if Walker's ruling is allowed to stand, it will be "a signal and dark day for American jurisprudence."
Then Judge Stephen Reinhardt, known as one of the more liberal judges on the Court of Appeals — and in fact one whom Prop 8 proponents tried to have removed from the case — responds. Listen…

Translational research is key UNMC thrust
"Many UNMC faculty are already conducting successful translational research," Dr. Larsen, Vice-Chancellor for Research, said, "but we need to develop the teams to do even more. By bringing together basic science, patient- oriented, and public health researchers we will move discoveries from the laboratory into patient care more rapidly. Collaborating teams of researchers also will be more successful in competing for larger federal grants."
To expand translational research, UNMC focuses on its areas of research strength and plans to "grow" those areas into larger translational research teams. One way to grow these teams is to provide an environment where different types of researchers work side by side with clinicians. UNMC's future plans to bring together all its cancer specialists and researchers into a unified cancer campus will itself help grow translational research.
Dr. Larsen emphasized three individuals with new grants who are leaders in their field and exemplify areas of translational research.
- Basic Science- Surinder Batra, Ph.D., professor and chairman, biochemistry and molecular biology, leads a team of four investigators to study pancreas cancer with a $4.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute and will network with other cancer center teams across the country;
- Clinical- B. Timothy Baxter, M.D., professor, surgery, identified a potential non-invasive treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm in the laboratory then received a $9.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to conduct this multi-center trial;
- Public Health - Risto Rautiainen, Ph.D., associate professor, College of Public Health, developed the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health. With agriculture now the most hazardous industry in the nation, he received a $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study ways to understand and prevent agricultural injuries as well as provide health and safety education to farmers.

More than 90 campers from all over east Alabama became Lee County Junior Deputies on Friday after wrapping up a week of camp dedicated to fun and character building.
Friday was Splash Day for campers.
The Beauregard Volunteer Fire Department used its fire trucks to make it rain so kids could have fun.
This is the fourth year for the camp, funded mainly by the sheriff's office and run by school resource officers.
Families are asked to help out by paying $20 for the camp, but if families can't afford it no camper is ever turned away.
"Character building is so important to us, these kids are at school and there is so much negativity thrown at them and they have to learn to be strong and say no," said Cpl. Pam Revells, Lee County School Resource Officer.
School resource officers help mentor the kids during the school year and into the summer by hosting camps and self-defense classes.

The 1990's have sadly come to host an increase in civil wars. The atrocities of these wars and their outrages on human life and dignity have shocked the world. Alleviation of human suffering should be an imperative priority in any civil war, especially to ease the hardships of the civilian population. But in many internal armed conflicts – Biafra, Somalia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to mention a few – the assistance offered by humanitarian organizations has been refused access to the civilian victims, leaving the human disasters inflicted by civil war severely aggravated.
Sovereignty Eclipsed?: The Legitimacy of Humanitarian Access and Intervention
This paper is an attempt to establish a legitimate basis for humanitarian intervention in a world of nominally sovereign states. I do this from two perspectives. First, I examine the legal discussions regarding such intervention, and I argue that a norm of justified intervention can be found in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and human rights covenants, as well as developing practice. Second, I examine the moral legitimacy of such actions. Specifically, I argue that beyond whatever basis may be present in international law for human rights and intervention to protect those rights, one can find a foundation for such rights in the very nature of the state system. Further, I argue that sovereignty cannot be a basis to prevent humanitarian intervention because the responsibilities which accrue to states mean that human rights must be seen as a part of the definition of sovereignty, rather than in opposition to it. In addition, within the concept of sovereignty, there is not only a right for the international community to violate international boundaries on behalf of human rights, but an obligation to do so.

As some of you may remember, last year I made a gingerbread bird house as a Secret Santa gift (you can read more about it here). Well my friend, who I am organizing the Woodland themed baby shower for, hinted how much she liked gingerbread so it only seemed fitting to make her a Woodland themed Gingerbread house! I also thought it would make a great centre piece for the Woodland themed dessert table.
I made my own pattern this time. Click to open separately ready to print.
Gingerbread bird house & toadstools
250g unsalted butter
200g dark muscovado sugar
600g plain flour
7 tbsp golden syrup
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tsp ground ginger
Cooking instructions
- Heat oven to 180 deg C
- Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan.
- Mix the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl.
- Slowly add the melted butter mix to the flour mix to form a dough.
- Roll dough out to about 8mm thick on to baking paper.
- Cut out front, then cut small circle out of front.
- Cut out back.
- Cut out two roofs.
- Cut out two sides.
- Cut out toadstools using cookie cutter.
- Slide cut pieces still on the baking paper on to baking trays.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes, then re-cut round edges to neaten.
- Leave to completely cool.
Decorating the Bird House
Roll on icing (white, pale aqua, lilac)
Icing sugar (powdered sugar)
Royal icing
M&M's in pale pink, aqua
Food colouring
To decorate
- Dust icing sugar onto a hard clean surface and roll out icing to 3mm thick.
- Cut out house components in icing.
- Brush water onto back of cut out icing component and place on top of corresponding gingerbread piece. Repeat until all gingerbread pieces are iced.
- Make up royal icing as per instructions on packet, and spoon into piping bag with a small nozzle at the end.
- To build the base, hold the front and one of the sides of the house upright together in one hand to form a corner and with the other hand pipe icing down the inside of the corner and hold together until icing starts to set. Repeat until you have formed a box. Leave to set.
- On the back of one iced roof, pipe icing in a small line round the outside edge. Place on top of gingerbread iced box and hold until icing starts to set. Repeat with second roof piece. Leave to dry.
- Place house onto a cake board and using a star nozzle on the end of your piping bag, pipe small star shapes around the bottom of the house between the cake board and the house.
- Continue piping star shapes along all of the outside joins of the house, leaving the top of the roof until last so you can push M&M's into the icing along the top.
- Pipe small stars in rows across the roof and push M&Ms into icing.
The ivy, ladybirds and berries are made of petal paste which I added food colouring to, to get the desired colours. To make the ivy I used Ivy Leaf Plunger Cutters, for the berries and ladybirds I used Bas relief moulds, bugs, small and fruit and nut. I couldn't believe how easy petal paste was to use, you just take a small piece of it and push it into the mould and then push it out of the mould and voila! you have perfectly shaped ladybugs, berries and so much more! To stick the berries bugs and ivy to the house use a small dab of royal icing.
Have a sweet day!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP/WDRB) -- The richest Powerball jackpot ever - and the second-largest top prize in U.S. lottery history -- has been won. The question is: Who are the lucky winners waking up to new lives as multimillionaires?
Powerball officials said early Thursday morning that two tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri matched all six numbers to win the record $587.5 million jackpot.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are 5, 16, 22, 23, 29. The Powerball is 6.
It was not clear whether the winning tickets belonged to individuals or were purchased by groups. Arizona lottery officials said early Thursday they had no information on that state's winner or winners but would announce where it was sold Thursday morning. Lottery officials in Missouri did not immediately respond to phone messages and emails seeking comment.
Americans went on a ticket-buying spree in the run-up to Wednesday's drawing, the big money enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery to purchase a shot at the second-largest payout in U.S. history.
Tickets were selling at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide - about six times the volume from a week ago. That pushed the jackpot even higher, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neumauer said the jackpot was estimated at $587.5 million by early Thursday, adjusted slightly upward from the $579.9 million estimate at the time of the drawing. The cash payout was $384.7 million.
Among those who had been hoping to win was Lamar Fallie, a jobless Chicago man who said his six tickets conjured a pleasant daydream: If he wins, he plans to take care of his church, make big donations to schools and then "retire from being unemployed."
The jackpot had already rolled over 16 consecutive times without a winner, but Powerball officials said Wednesday they believed there was a 75 percent chance the winning combination would be drawn this time.
Some experts had predicted that if one ticket hit the right numbers, chances were good that multiple ones would. That happened in the Mega Millions drawing in March, when three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, which remained the largest lottery payout of all time. And it happened again for Wednesday's Powerball drawing.
Yvette Gavin, who sold the tickets to Fallie, is only an occasional lottery player herself, but she said the huge jackpot compelled her to play this time. As for the promises she often gets from ticket purchasers, Gavin isn't holding her breath.
"A lot of customers say if they win they will take care of me, but I will have to wait and see," she said.
Powerball officials say winning tickets for the record $579.9 million jackpot were purchased in Arizona and Missouri. The jackpot had increased by the time of the drawing. An additional 8,924,123 players won smaller prizes.
Powerball player Rachel Hettinger was hoping win the jackpot.
"I actually talked about it with my dad last night because he has it set up -- 10 percent goes to church, save 50 percent for me and my family, and then the rest of it he had it divided up somehow," Hettinger said before Wednesday's drawing.
But the ramifications of winning all that money have proven unkind in the past. Keep in mind the lottery curse of Jack Whittaker: already a millionaire, the West Virginia man won $315 million more with Powerball.
He ended up being robbed at a strip club of a half million dollars, his wife divorced him, and he claimed bad investments left him unable to pay a settlement.
Wealth Advisor Don Woods tells us, "What starts as the great American dream can turn into the great American nightmare." Woods says whoever wins should have a cooling off period with no investments for a year: "Hire the best CP, an attorney, and a competent well-trained financial planner to help you start out with the initial decisions."
But the only sure winner is the lotteries themselves: "We look like our sales could be three or four million just today, says Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Arch Gleason.
"Our sales this past Sunday were three times the sales they were the previous Sunday," Chip Polston a spokesman for the Kentucky Lottery Corporation, told WDRB News on Monday.
Cashier Ty Ward at the Shell station says the number of people buying lottery tickets has grown tremendously during the past several days. While it is a record for Powerball, the highest lottery payout ever was last March in the Mega Millions jackpot of $650 million.
Fifty cents of every dollar spent on the lottery by the public stays in the state.
This year the Lottery Corporation will turn over $214 million to two scholarship programs in Kentucky. The state's general fund gets no money from the lottery.
"A lot of people in Kentucky have no idea that the lottery proceeds go to these programs," explains Polston, "because it is actually against the law for us to advertise where our proceeds go, we are the only lottery in the U. S. to have that kind of restriction."
Sales for the record Powerball Jackpot close at 10 o'clock Wednesday evening.

Carlos Pachenko and Chris Choi talk about Marvel Comics The first panel of the weekend opens with a talk about two very different, but very cool artists for Marvel.
Carlos Pachenko, the Spanish artist whos currently working on Ultimate Avengers (and has an awesome accent), and Mike Choi who draws X-Force.
The panel started out with questions from moderator Mike Cotton, about getting into the industry. Both artists started out as fans of comics, who one day just decided to start drawing. Carlos Pachenko started his story saying Im just a geek, and you can tell that these artists are fanboys first. They continued to talk about the titles that they were working on, describing the difficulties of getting them out on time, and the joys of the medium. Mike Choi spoke about collaborating with Eisner writers like Ed Brukaker, saying how at first it was nerve wracking but as they continued the relationship it became much more fluid and collaborative.
As the panel went on the audience began to get more involved in asking questions, and the artists became more relaxed, really getting into the experience. It was an informative and intimate panel, the first of many great ones planed over the course of Big Apple Comic Con.

Parents in California have been arrested after they left their 4-month-old baby to die OVERNIGHT in a hot car. It's the kind of story that just surpasses any other baby left in a hot car story I have ever heard. How does someone leave a child this young overnight and not realize it until 1:30 p.m. the next day?
Parents Israel Soto, 30, and Jessica Quezada, 23, were both arrested, and their three other children -- ages 3, 2, and 1 -- were taken by the county. Look, having four children under 3 has to be unimaginably stressful and hard, especially when a person is only 23 years old. I am sure they were getting very little sleep and probably had children coming at them nearly constantly. But that is no excuse.
In many of these cases like this, I have some empathy for the parents. It isn't that hard to imagine how one might forget a child is in the back of the car when a person is stressed or off their routine or hasn't been sleeping at all. But this one? My God. How do you forget a 4-month-old in the car OVERNIGHT?
A few years ago, there was a very powerful piece in The Washington Post about otherwise very good parents who accidentally forgot their children in the back of cars. Anyone with a heart would have it go out to these parents whose guilt and shame and disbelief were almost unbearable to read about. But this? Is not the same thing.
I've had two 4-month-olds and I am soon to have a third. They are nearly constantly in need, especially at night. They are still (most likely) not sleeping through the night, and even if they are, they would go to bed needing to be fed and wake up early needing the same thing. How do you not notice that is happening? It sounds like there is some suspicion drugs were involved and that might explain some things.
But as parents, don't you wonder where your baby is? In the morning, don't you rush to the crib to see why they didn't wake you up? The baby was discovered at 1:30 p.m. the next day, which means he was out there, dying, for God knows how long. It's sickening. Now the other three kids have been taken from their parents. Let's hope these parents either get the help they so clearly need or allow their children to be adopted by parents who can love and care for them in the right way.
This is just wrong beyond belief.
Do you understand how this could possibly have happened?
Image via Parker Knight/Flickr
When I read articles like this I just don't get it....I can't sleep unless I know my kids are ok. I have most definitely forgotten keys but never my child.
I am not understanding how you forget a child overnight.
That sweet baby--RIP little one.
It can not be an accident or mistake. too many things here; HOW DID BOTH PARENTS NOT QUESTION THE CHILD'S WHEREABOUTS. this can NOT be a simple,' i thought you had him/her" I mean - the 4 month old should have been their MAIN priority in the house condsidering that it would need most attention (as mentioned, not sleeping through the nights) I hate to jump to the drug conclusion, but i almost feel thats better then the totally on purpose conclusion. Listen, I do not care HOW old the mom was, but i tend to ask A QUESTION- call me a bitch, but 4 kids under 4 , huh?? possible drug use???? were they on assistance?- I dont need your answer. i venture to say 100% - LEADING TO MY POINT- THESE PEOPLE ARE OBVIOUSLY OVERWHLEMED, BUT NOONE ASKED THEM TO HAVE 4 KIDS UNDER 4 AND TO NOT USE BIRTH CONTROL. LETS STOP MAKING THE PEOPLE ON ASSISTANCE LIFE SO EASY- FREE MEALS, SCHOOLS FOR KIDS ETC - THEN MAYBE THEY WILL NOT HAVE EXTRA MONEY LEFT OVER TO USE ON DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. Seems unlikely you would really forget about your child for this amount of time.
Everyone keeps saying overnight- but this wasn't JUST overnight... this was ALL night, ALL morning, and then finally sometime after lunch. There is a huge difference- not that overnight is understandable itself- but there is so much more to it. :-(

On a dark path, a three-foot diameter pure black gate appeared, and once a young Witch stepped threw she quickly looks around for dangers." I'm home!" Clair smiled as she recognized the path that connects Hogwarts to Hogsmeade." I better get going everyone will be worried about me." Clair thought as she got her bearings and headed towards the school.

More information: bit.ly/sangamonvalley
From the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Dana-Thomas House to the Old State Capitol to Abraham Lincoln's tomb, Springfield is a place where the past is always close at hand.
Perhaps nowhere is that truer than in a room tucked into a corner of the third floor of the capital city's public library.
Since 1970, Lincoln Library's Sangamon Valley Collection has been a repository of books, documents, photographs and other artifacts that record the history of Springfield and the surrounding area — a history that extends well beyond Lincoln and the legislature.
Curtis Mann took over as manager of the collection 10 years ago following the retirement of Ed Russo, the former manager who'd spent more than 30 years at the library.
The purpose of the collection is to document life in an 11-county region surrounding Springfield, said Mann, who has a bachelor's degree in history from Southern Illinois University and a master's degree in library and information science from the University of Illinois and has been at Lincoln Library since 1993.
"Primarily we collect for Sangamon County and Springfield," Mann said. "In the early formation of Illinois, Sangamon County was a larger county. It wasn't till the 1839-40 time period that a lot of these counties were created."
Early settlers referred to the wider area as "Sangamo Country," he said.
The collection's clientele includes everyone from students working on school assignments to amateur genealogists to professional researchers and writers, and its contents reflect those diverse audiences.
"We have things from every area of the Dewey Decimal System," librarian Linda Garvert said.
Diverse resources
Walking the aisles, you'll find biographies of notable local figures such as poet Vachel Lindsay, yearbooks from area high schools dating back more than half a century, old city directories and Lincoln Land Community College course catalogs.
There are recent government documents, such as the city's 2010 comprehensive plan, and ones that only sound recent, such as the "Discussion and Analysis of Capital City Railroad Relocation" — dated Aug. 7, 1978.
There is also the occasional item that is itself a piece of history. Stored in a protective cardboard box on one shelf is a book titled "The History of Illinois, from its First Discovery and Settlement, to the Present Time," the present time being 1844, when, according to an inside page, it was "Entered according to an Act of Congress, By J. Winchester, In the Clerk's Office of the Southern District of New York."
Some of the collection's resources are much more modern.
One recent addition is an electronic database of pages from the Illinois State Journal and the Illinois State Register, forebears of The State Journal-Register, which patrons can access at the library or online with their Lincoln Library cards.
Page 2 of 3 - But the collection's staff says some of its most valuable resources are decidedly low-tech.
A crown jewel, particularly for people researching family history, is an index of obituaries from the local newspapers dating from 1861 to the present. Highlights of the obituaries are recorded on paper cards stored in a card catalog. Using the cards, genealogists can locate the full obituary on microfilm or in the digital archive without having to know the specific day it ran.
"It's a very unique resource," Mann said.
Garvert said it took volunteers about 30 years of reviewing microfilm to compile the index.
"We keep up with them now on a daily basis," she said.
Volunteer driven
Volunteers are integral to the collection's operations, especially as a shrinking library staff has required those who work in the collection to spend more time in other parts of the building.
"One thing that really drives this place is our volunteers," Mann said.
A team of a dozen volunteers donates about 2,000 man-hours each year.
On a recent Thursday morning, one of those volunteers, 74-year-old Wayne Fanter, was whittling away at a project he's been working on for about a decade.
Fanter, who retired in 2004 after spending more than 40 years as a meat cutter for National Supermarket and then Schnucks, was scrolling through microfilm of the Lincoln Courier from nearly 70 years ago, compiling an index of that paper's obituaries.
The collection already has six bound volumes produced from his work. He started back at 1895 and has now reached the mid-1940s.
When he spots an obituary, he fills out a form that notes information such as the person's name, date of death, place of burial, the names of his or her spouse and parents, and where it appears in the paper.
For example, Mrs. Anna Alexander, maiden name Galford, was married to Fred C. Alexander, died Nov. 13, 1946, and was buried in Union Cemetery in Lincoln.
"I enjoy doing it," said Fanter, who's been interested in genealogy since childhood and is gathering his own research on Germans in central Illinois. "I told them I'd gladly take this job because I can sit down."
While he's scrolling through the microfilm, Fanter occasionally stops to read stories that catch his eye.
"We got past the war now, so the front pages aren't as interesting as they were for the past four or five years," he said.
Helping the hunt
For researchers of all kinds, the accumulated information of the Sangamon Valley Collection and the knowledge of its staff isn't easily matched, even in the digital age.
Over the years, staff members have been consulted by White House officials double-checking the authenticity of Lincoln quotes and fielded a question from someone working on the movie "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" who wanted to know what Mary Todd Lincoln wore for her wedding. (Librarian Beth Shetter said they couldn't find a definitive answer to that one.)
Page 3 of 3 - Numerous authors have relied on the collection and its staff. For example, Robert Mazrim of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey gave a shout-out to Mann in the acknowledgements in his 2007 book "The Sangamo Frontier: History and Archaeology in the Shadow of Abraham Lincoln."
Sometimes the staff wishes writers would have consulted them.
"We should have helped the author that wrote that Mary Lincoln walked the edge of Lake Springfield, contemplating," Garvert said. (The lake wasn't built and filled until 1935, more than 50 years after her death.)
Shetter said one of the best parts of her job is helping patrons track down answers they've been hunting for.
"When they come in and find something that they've been looking for for a long time, that's exciting," she said.
Ken Mitchell has long relied on the Sangamon Valley Collection to find the answers to his questions.
A substitute teacher and former insurance broker, Mitchell, 69, has self-published several books that blend family and local history, most notably "Rabbit Row." The book documents his dad's life growing up in the north-end neighborhood near Reservoir Park, which is now the site of Lanphier High School.
Mitchell graduated from Lanphier in 1962, and his time there is the subject of the current book he's working on, which he's calling "Happy Days at Lanphier High."
From its shelves full of yearbooks to its files of newspaper clippings, photographs and other documents on subjects of local interest, the collection has been an invaluable resource, Mitchell said.
If it didn't exist, "I don't know where you'd ever find that," he said. "That's sort of a gem for town here, and a lot of people don't even know that much about it."

Pete Carrol has confirmed through the Seahawks website that Chris Clemons will make his 2013 season debut this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Centurylink Field. That news compounded with the return of CB Brandon Browner is not good news for Jags fans.
The Jaguars were already one of the biggest underdogs in Las Vegas history prior to this news. That will not help the moneyline one bit.
Chris Wesseling from NFL.com had this to say about Clemons
Clemons has been Seattle's leading pass rusher in each of the past three seasons, racking up 33.5 sacks over that period. He's now eight months and two weeks removed from tearing his ACL and meniscus in the playoff victory over the Washington Redskins
Seattle already had one of the top defensive units in the league and this makes their team even more dangerous. Already the top seed in virtually every power poll out there, I have a sneaking suspicion that Jacksonville is in for a very long day. To make matters worse the Jags are travelling to the loudest stadium in the league. With major question marks surrounding Maurice Jones-Drew and the quarterback position, I am not sure the line could be high enough for me to take Jacksonville.
Stranger things have happened though…

I'm an enchanter so I usually make it clear before the first pull what's going on and this is the general consensus of the server as I've seen in my time on it.
Nether = Need
BoE = Greed
Gems = Need if you can use it.
BoP patterns = Usually just a greed or need, play that by ear and ask everyone.
I greed on everything else and if someone needs it, by all means need it.
If you get a piece of loot outside of gems, nether, or BoE, then you don't get a shard. Hopefully there are enough shards to go around. If not, one roll, lowest roll(s) get the shaft. If there are Void Crystals, then top roll gets first pick of what they want (sometimes two picks if there is that much stuff), and so on down the line.
I will gladly DE any greens anyone has if they ask. I never expect a tip since I see it as just being a friendly player and people will remember that when they see me and help me out when I need it. If someone ends up needing on stuff they can't use or not playing along with the very friendly, fair, and easy distribution method, I usually leave the group or kick 'em. Why waste my time with a greedy player.

Figgins is still working as McKinley's janitor, and with the arrival of the school board to evaluate the school, Figgins and Sue argue about Sue's impending permanent principal-ness. When she meets with the board in her office, she gives a convincing speech about the good she's doing, and they seem impressed. One of the men, Superintendent Bob Harris, seems to be flirting with her and asking her out, but during the conversation it becomes clear that Bob thinks that Sue is a man. That isn't to say that he wasn't still flirting with her – his spiel had all the trimmings of the "I'm a late-in-life ex-married gay who isn't out and I'm only going to talk in euphemisms but let's hook up" trope, but yep, he definitely thinks she's a man.
Sue is horrified – rightly so, in my opinion, because I don't think she's mistakable for a man at all – and later has a girly heart-to-heart with Becky about whether she looks masculine. Becky says that, although Sue possesses "an allure that goes beyond gender," she could try more feminine clothes. Sue explains how her signature track-suit style came to be: when she began as a teacher in the 80s, she looked feminine, with a pink skirt and long hair. She immediately found that her image garnered no respect, especially from male students, and she drastically changed her appearance in order to reflect her position of authority. She worries that any deviation from that now may result in the same kind of disrespect happening again.
"You're early," a mysterious voice says as Blaine flounces into the choir room alone, and he jumps. "Jeez! Argh! Brad! You scared the crap out of me!" he shoots angrily at Brad the Piano Guy. "Warn me before you talk." The look on Blaine's face is absolute Chandler Bing-esque comedy gold – someone get Darren Criss a proper comedic role, pronto. He then whines to Brad about his rough week, and ignores the piano player's own attempts to talk about his life problems – rather more serious than Blaine's, and including a severe gambling problem and losing his house. Blaine, naturally, hears none of this as he continues to simply rant about himself and the glee club. Not noticing Brad's scathing irritation, Blaine comes to the conclusion that if the club wants him to pipe down then he will – he'll sit in the back and do absolutely nothing. He parks himself in the far corner, not his usual front row seat, and we hear gentle hissing from the wall vent behind him before he wakes up in a hallucination.
The rest of New Directions have literally become puppets – Sesame Street style puppet people, and they all lavish Blaine with love, praise and attention – his subconscious is s conceited and needy, it's hysterical. He's thrilled in a puppyish way, and talks to them in a total children's TV presenter voice. They beg him to sing, and he happily complies with Queen's "You're My Best Friend." The puppet New Directions dance around all over him, playing with him and hugging him. Darren Criss barely, just barely, contains his own squinty-eyed, toothy grin of pure glee at getting to film this scene – you can see it in his face, but he manages to rein it in and mostly keep it to Blaine's childish arrogance of being elevated to his rightful,

Rubella: Make Sure Your Child Gets Vaccinated »
"Rubella is usually mild in children. But for some peopleâ"especially pregnant women and their babiesâ"rubella can be serious. Make sure you and your child are protected from rubella by getting vaccinated on schedule.

Pre-exposure immunization
High titer antibody responses of the Sanofi Pasteur SA Imovax Rabies Vaccine made in human diploid cells have been demonstrated in trials conducted in England1, Germany2, 3, France4 and Belgium.5 Seroconversion was often obtained with only one dose. With two doses one month apart, 100% of the recipients developed specific antibody and the geometric mean titer of the group was approximately 10 international units. In the US, Sanofi Pasteur SA Imovax Rabies Vaccine resulted in geometric mean titers (GMT) of 12.9 IU/mL at Day 49 and 5.1 IU/mL at Day 90 when three doses were given intramuscularly during the course of one month. The range of antibody responses was 2.8 to 55.0 IU/mL at Day 49 and 1.8 to 12.4 IU at Day 90.6 The definition of a minimally accepted antibody titer varies among laboratories and is influenced by the type of test conducted. CDC currently specifies a 1:5 titer (complete inhibition) by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) as acceptable. The World Health Organization (WHO) specifies a titer of 0.5 IU.
Postexposure immunization
Postexposure efficacy of Sanofi Pasteur SA Imovax Rabies Vaccine was successfully proven during clinical experience in Iran7 in conjunction with antirabies serum. Forty-five persons severely bitten by rabid dogs and wolves received Sanofi vaccine within hours of and up to 14 days after the bites. All individuals were fully protected against rabies.
There have been reports of possible vaccine failure when the vaccine has been administered in the gluteal area. Presumably subcutaneous fat in the gluteal area may interfere with the immunogenicity of human diploid cell rabies vaccine (HDCV).26, 29 For adults and children, Rabies Vaccine should be administered in the deltoid muscle.

PHILADELPHIA -- For all the cracks made about New York's aging roster, those old-timers sure know how to win.
Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points and JR Smith had 17 to help keep the Knicks perfect in a 110-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
Raymond Felton scored 16 points and Tyson Chandler had 14 to lead the Knicks to their first 3-0 start since the 1999-2000 season. The Knicks beat the Sixers 100-84 on Sunday in the opener of the home-and-home series.
"We're just playing good ball right now," Anthony said. "We really locked in what we need to lock in on."
Few teams are as locked in as the Knicks. They thumped Miami in the opener before routing the Sixers in consecutive games. Heck, they were even perfect from the free-throw line, a 19 of 19 night, the most attempts without a miss since 2006.
The Knicks busted the game open in the third quarter, stretching the lead to 21 points. They got a surprising third from 38-year-old Rasheed Wallace, who scored eight points and hit a couple of 3-pointers, including a 26-footer at the buzzer to end the quarter.
After a solid first, the Sixers fell apart, and got nothing going with their set offence. Jrue Holiday led them with 17 points.
Wallace was wooed out of retirement by coach Mike Woodson following two years off spent in quiet in North Carolina. He gave the Knicks a nice, unexpected boost in the quarter from long range. Several thousand Knicks fans came out to the Wells Fargo Center and they went wild when Wallace, a Philadelphia native, unleashed his 3-point attempts.
In his 5 minutes in the third, Wallace's eight points outscored every Sixers bench player overall except Nick Young. Wallace finished with 10 points and wore a button-down "Philla" shirt in the locker room.
"It's nice to be here, always," Wallace said. "I've never really left Philly, and I've been here a few times, attending Sixers games, since I last played. Everyone here has always shown me love, and I have for them."
Young led the way of cold-shooting Sixers, missing 11 of 15 attempts. Known as a shoot-first player, Young almost never looked for another option, and hoisted up misfire after misfire. One fan heckled him, "That's why you got a one-year deal, man!"
No, the Sixers aren't building around Young. But it's clear they need some help outside of Holiday. Dorell Wright had 14 points, and Thaddeus Young had 14 points and 10 rebounds. The game was well out of reach by the time they started putting up numbers.
"Points aren't easy to come by and you have to be on the same page," centre Spencer Hawes said.
Ronnie Brewer sparked the Knicks in the third, turning an eight-point lead into 18 after he nailed a couple of 3s. He finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Thaddeus Young was no match for Anthony inside. Anthony worked his way past Young for some buckets in the paint and scored 15 in the first half when it was still just 56-48 at the break.
Sixers coach Doug Collins chided his team after Sunday's loss for playing without any energy at the start of the game. His message got to the Sixers -- for a few minutes. They led 14-4 before the Knicks took control and cruised toward their perfect start.
Count Collins among those impressed by New York's fast start.
"They, right now, do not have a weakness," Collins said. "If they continue to play like this, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the East."
Smith tangled briefly with Royal Ivey and the two had to be separated. Smith was even hit for a technical and Chandler was called for one in the third. Those were about the only missteps for the Knicks, who had seven players score in double digits, yet got only two assists and three points from Jason Kidd. Kidd was one of the more vocal Knicks on the bench, standing, clapping and cheering on each big basket or loose-ball hustle.
"We were able to make the moves we wanted to this off-season, and everyone has come here, has been happy with their playing time, and contributed in their own way," Woodson said.
By the end, the New Yorkers who made the trip chanted, "Let's go Knicks!" as they left the arena.
Notes: Knicks C Marcus Camby sat out again after missing most of preseason with a strained calf. ... 76ers starting guard Jason Richardson remains sidelined with a sprained left ankle. Dorell Wright got the start. ... Collins shook up the lineup and started Kwame Brown at centre for Lavoy Allen. Bynum left in the third with a strained left calf. ... 76ers GM Tony DiLeo says there is still no timetable for Andrew Bynum's return from a bone bruise. ... The Sixers' ownership group donated $50,000 to Superstorm Sandy relief efforts. They are auctioning memorabilia and prizes at www.SixersOperationRebound.com to raise money for the Red Cross. C Spencer Hawes donated $16,000 to Sandy relief efforts.

Vikings' Harrison Smith ejected for pushing ref
OCT 07, 2012 4:28p ET
Several Titans and Vikings tangled in the second quarter after Minnesota's Antoine Winfield intercepted a pass from Matt Hasselbeck. The hard-nosed Smith was right in the middle of the confrontation, and an official stepped in to try to steer him out of the area.
Smith kept jawing with the Titans players, and pushed the official to the side as he tried to get closer to the action.
A flag was thrown and referee Jeff Triplette said Smith was disqualified for shoving an official.
Rookie Robert Blanton replaced Smith at safety on the Vikings' next defensive series.

David Axelrod (born April 17, 1931, in Los Angeles, California) is an American composer, arranger, and producer. After starting out as a staff producer for cool jazz labels, Axelrod became famous by the mid 1960s in soul and jazz circles for his recording skills. In 1968, he embarked on a solo career and released several eccentric albums during the 1970s that showcased his characteristic sound, which combined heavily mic'ed drums and baroque orchestration, and avant-garde themes ranging from the environment to heightened mental awareness. With his early solo projects, Axelrod was one of the first recording artists to fuse elements of jazz, rock, and R&B.

Perhaps it's because as a dining critic I tend to order lots of varied things from a restaurant's menu, but I'm noticing a trend. Dining tables are just too small.
Waiters can't begin to fit four appetizers, much less that many entrees, on most of the tables I dine on. The evening becomes a little like watching the Keystone Cops when it's time for clearing.
The most egregious offender? Hal's on Old Ivy — the tables are the size of a matchbox, and there's no way the space between them passes the fire code. I actually had a waiter there stack one of my dishes between the other two, like a pyramid.
The most spacious tables? Hmmm … I'd but FAB on that list, as well as the Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead and Quinones at Bacchanalia. And for it's size, Tamarind Thai has relatively large table space.
Who's got the smallest table space in town?

Who cares. Get a life. Just give me a restaurants with no kids!

The size of the tables shouldn't matter as long as you have ample seating. Unfortunately, restaurants are trying to pack as many people in their establishments without waiting so patrons won't go elsewhere. In today's economic times, those who can afford to dine out will experience less wait time and/or flexible reservations. Additionally, walk-ins with available seating at peak times will be the norm.
May 4th, 2009
3:32 pm
No, we are just too big…
May 4th, 2009

Yes, most restaurant tables are too small and too close together, and it has nothing to do with the size of the diners. It's about not having enough room on the tabletop for your plates and drinks, especially considering the huge portion sizes and oversized plates used at many restaurants.
Tables are tiny because restaurants are trying to cram in as many tables as possible. More tables means more diners, which means more money. Plus, with the spaces so cramped, no one wants to hang around, and fast turnaround means the restaurant can serve more diners and make even MORE money.
We get around all that by trying to get a booth whenever possible. The tabletops are usually bigger, and there's no one crammed up right next to you. Plus, the seats are usually cushioned, so they're more comfortable to start with.

Heck, if you think the tables are small in Atlanta, come across the pond for a visit. The wife and I are living abroad for a year while I study at a University in England. The tables when we eat out are tiny! Worse, though, is the English tendency to sit you right next to an occupied table — even when you're the only two occupied tables in the place!
I, for one, welcome the large Atlanta tables when I return.
May 4th, 2009
3:23 pm
I will put up with smaller tables if I have to, but I won't return to a restaurant where the tables are very close together. When I'm out to dinner with my spouse or friends, I am not interested in sharing anyone's conversation.
May 4th, 2009
3:19 pm
Of course they are. They are done that way so the owners can cram more people
into one space. If you get a meal/plate of any size you will find that it is hard
to manage cutting your meat. But who really cares besides me?
May 4th, 2009
3:08 pm
Seriously though, how many people order 4 appetizers and entrees? The tables are smaller so that they can push them together for large parties or leave them solo for parties of one or 2. It's about turnover. Your server should be able to stage your order so that it doesn't pile up on the table. Of course, this is the U.S. where dining out is a more like a sprint than a marathon.
May 4th, 2009
3:05 pm
Ha! We eat out a lot, but it's a rule to never enter a burger joint, nor the Awful House, or any of the disgusting food specialties. Yuck. I'd rather cook and clean up.
When my kids were small I get them Happy Meals and throw away the 'food'. All they wanted was the toy, anyway.

not only are tables getting smaller , but both are too. Check out any Waffle House

Plastic Installed to Protect Key LeveeBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 12 May 2011 10:17am |
The US Army Corp of Engineers is taking unprecedented steps to protect vital Mississippi levees from the historic flooding. Workers have put down 5 miles of heavy plastic sheeting on the Yazoo Backwater to protect it from erosion. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that water is expected to start over topping that levee sometime next week.
The Yazoo Backwater levee is a key levee protecting a huge portion of the Mississippi Delta from flooding.
Peter Nimrod with the Mississippi Levee board says workers have installed plastic sheeting along five miles of the levee to protect it when flood water over tops the levee.
"What happens is when water come over the top of the levee in an overtopping event, not a whole lot of water comes over, but that energy could eat away at that levee and erode it away and eventually that levee would breech. If this levee would breech or fail, water would actually go up to a level of 106. You would gave 1.2 million acres flooded in the Mississippi south delta. You would have 4-thousand homes flooded," Nimrod said.
The plastic is 20-times thicker than a garbage bag and flexible to contour to the shape of the levee.
It is made by American Environmental Group, an Ohio-based company founded by Peter Augustine.
"We use it quite frequently in the closure of landfills. We also use it in lining the bottom of landfills. And in the mining industry and in leech fields and various applications like that. But it makes sense. We do use it for drainage structures out on landfills so the principal seems solid," Augustine said.
The Army Corp called Augustine this past weekend and he rushed the plastic down to Mississippi.
It took nearly 150 workers almost a week to roll out the heavy plastic and weight it with sandbags. Worker Tommy Jolly helped put the plastic in place.
"One person doesn't handle it by himself. It takes a whole bunch. I think we had ten people just to roll it off the rolls. It is great to know we are doing something useful," Jolly said.
The water is expected to start flowing over the levee several days before the flood crest hits Vicksburg late next week.
The army corp says the levee will hold despite the over topping....a failure by this levee would add an additional 9 or 10 feet of water to the delta, devastating the region.

A three-year veteran of the Grand Rapids Police Department has been placed on leave after an he fired his duty weapon at a suspect vehicle during a high-speed pursuit on the Fourth of July.
According to a release, deputies with the Itasca County Sheriff's Office were chasing a vehicle at about 5:35 p.m. when they requested assistance from authorities in Grand Rapids.
When the vehicle entered the Grand Rapids city limits, it was encountered by local officers -- including Officer William Saw, who shot at the vehicle.
Officials say the suspect vehicle intentionally tried to ram and run both patrol units and civilian vehicles off the road during the pursuit.
Neither Saw nor the suspect were injured in the shooting, according to police.
Eventually, officers were able to take a 17-year-old boy into custody in connection with the pursuit. He is currently being held at the Itaskin Juvenile Detention Center awaiting formal charges.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Itasca County Sheriff's Office continue to investigate the incident.

After all, the company just lost (the grammar police got me!) $1.2 billion from their market cap after Google announced their own FREE GPS app.

yea it's useful
I've got one of those bum heatsink screws that i've not gotten around to replacing. Right now, to prevent my machine from crashing, i just run it with one processor. This hint would be a useful for testing purposes; i could make the computer crunch crunch crunch, and watch it (not) crash. Haven't tried it yet though.
