Yahoo ends talks with Microsoft, shares plungeSAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo Inc.'s efforts to revive takeover talks with Microsoft Corp. have reached a dead end, setting the stage for the Internet pioneer to turn over a piece of its advertising platform to online search leader Google Inc. The news disclosed Thursday caused Yahoo shares to plunge by more than 10 percent as investors abandoned hope that Microsoft would renew a five-month quest to buy the Sunnyvale-based company. Yahoo tried to renew the discussions at Microsoft's last offer of $47.5 billion, or $33 per share, but the software maker wasn't willing to bid that much again, according to a statement released Thursday. Ex-Home Depot worker charged in kickback case ATLANTA - A second former Home Depot employee has been charged with participating in a conspiracy to defraud the company by taking kickbacks from foreign suppliers seeking to do business with the world's largest home improvement store chain. Federal prosecutors said 43-year-old James P. Robinson of Atlanta is charged with two counts of income tax evasion and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Robinson is a former divisional merchandising manager for flooring for Atlanta-based Home Depot. An attorney for Robinson, Thomas Ford, declined to comment Thursday. Stocks tumble as oil prices surge; Dow falls 205 NEW YORK - Wall Street tumbled Wednesday as oil prices rebounded, fanning concerns that inflation will further pinch consumers and lead central banks to raise interest rates. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points to its lowest close since mid-March. Investors are uneasy about oil prices, which on Wednesday traded as high as $138.30 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange before settling up $5.07 at $136.38. Having breached $139 a barrel last week, record-high crude has increasingly posed both an inflationary risk and a threat to growth. Jobless benefits extension passes WASHINGTON - The House on Thursday approved an extra three months of jobless benefits for all unemployed Americans, knowing the plan's chances are slight in the Senate and almost nonexistent at the White House. After failing to get a veto-proof two-thirds margin by three votes on Wednesday, Democrats got an exact two-thirds margin on Thursday with a 274-137 vote - the amount needed to overcome a threatened presidential veto. Retail sales jump by largest amount in six months WASHINGTON - The stimulus checks are working. A big increase in retail sales signaled that people are spending their rebate payments, helping to ward off a serious economic slump, at least for now. The Commerce Department reported Thursday that retail sales soared 1 percent last month, double what had been expected. It was the largest increase since November and represented strong sales retailers including the biggest increase at department stores and other general merchandise stores in a year.

The county's Municipal and County Government Employees Organization began its fight with an online petition urging residents to "Stand against [County Council President Valerie] Ervin" and her support of the Walmart. MCGEO Executive Director Robert Stewart said that's only the beginning of the union's planned campaign.
The union wants to know if the council is "on the side of low-wage poverty jobs with no benefits and no retirement, or are they for living wage and decent jobs that help build the community?" Stewart said.
He declined to specify what actions the union plans to take.
However, Ervin, D-Silver Spring, denied the union's claims that she is backing Walmart.
"Aspen Hill has a unique character that could be irreparably damaged by the introduction of Walmart," Councilwoman Nancy Navarro, D-Eastern County, wrote in a letter to Bruce Lee, president of property owner and developer Lee Development Group.
Ervin said the council also is drafting a Community Benefits Agreement to provide some protection for area residents. The store would be on Connecticut Avenue between Aspen Hill Road and Georgia Avenue.
Prompted by concerns about the effect that big-box stores have on the community, the bill would require large stores above a certain size -- like Walmart -- to negotiate with residents who live in the area surrounding the store, according to council attorney Michael Faden. The topics up for negotiation depend on the residents' interests, but could include store operations, deliveries, security, lighting and traffic.
The bill also could indirectly affect employees if residents are concerned about the store hiring locally.
It likely will be introduced on Oct. 11, Faden said.
Though the union supports the concept of a Community Benefits Agreement, Stewart said, he declined to comment on the council's bill since he hasn't seen it.
Walmart has signed similar agreements before, but spokesman Steve Restivo said they're not necessary.
"The more people get to know the facts about Walmart, the more they come to see that we already provide many of the things that communities want," he said.
Lee said he doesn't understand the opposition, noting that the store will bring jobs and tax revenue.
Designed to be 118,000 square feet, Walmart plans to open by 2013, according to a statement. However, the property needs to be approved for rezoning before that can occur.
Lee said he is waiting on the County Council to direct the county's planning board to draft a zoning amendment, which he expects to happen Tuesday.

The Year of the Dog
How does a guy who's a curmudgeon about dogs learn to accept a four-legged friend?
The guy from MG&E came by this week. He sprayed neon orange paint on our lawn, all the way from the front curb to the back deck, revealing where the electric cables lurk. He was able to navigate the area despite the fierce protective instincts of our new pooch, Phillip Seymour Dog.
Phil has been with us a year. His story is remarkable for several reasons, the least being that his new owner has historically viewed dogs with abhorrence.
Phil was left at our house in November of last year via our daughters, now living and working in Chicago. A combination of estrogen and lifelong wish fulfillment had compelled them to go to an animal shelter and select Phil from a sad array of urban strays who were mere hours from euthanasia. Although Kate and Mags always wanted a dog, they were denied that privilege in their youth, as their younger brother was allergic to critters and their Pops was a curmudgeon regarding pets.
Our kids did once have a white mouse. He died of obesity in a cage in our laundry room. Our children are still appalled at the funeral he received. The ceremony? I put on a glove, carried him out the back door and threw him into the woods off our deck.
Hey, he was too big to flush.
This very back page has been used to chronicle the issues Dad has had with dogs, including their penchant for sniffing crotches and soiling the yard. Behavior we would not tolerate from humans. Canines also play a lead role in the eternal drama of speeding to the emergency room after hearing the words, "Don't worry. He won't bite."
Phil first visited our home last Thanksgiving. The daughters were weary after a frantic ride from Chicago with the collie/husky/cattle dog/shepherd/Tasmanian Devil mix flying around the car for three hours straight. Thanks to their upbringing the girls had absolutely no idea how to handle the thing. Not only were the daughters exhausted, but they were also understandably anxious about their dad's reaction to the mutt. They knew it wasn't going to be good.
But to their surprise, and mine, I discovered, after an afternoon reading on the back porch with Phil, that I kinda liked the guy.
Sure, he was hyper and manic, but he was also smart. And interesting.
But sadly, Phil was too much to handle in Chicago. Long work hours and a small condo are no formula for dog serenity. The girls were teary at the thought of returning him to the shelter. So, much to everyone's amazement and the wife's chagrin, I suggested that he stay with us on a short-term contract. I viewed myself as the Hero Dad, taking one for the team.
The first several weeks with Phil were horrific. He was wary of us and we knew absolutely nothing about the animal and how to control him. In his anxiety with our ignorance he chewed leather car upholstery, lawn chairs, exercise equipment and our digits. After nine long dog days we decided that we had to return Phil to a shelter. He was simply too much. After all, we had just finished raising three large mammals of our own. We deserved a break.
The next morning, after a restless sleep, I called the shelter and made arrangements. We would have one more day with Phil. I slept little that final night, shocked at the emotion I was feeling about thirty pounds of frenetic mutt. In the morning, after three bracing cups of coffee, I confessed to Diane that I did not want to part with Phillip Seymour Dog. Diane was understanding, but disappointed. She liked the thing, but he was driving her nuts. I promised to fully own the project, with the qualification that this was simply a one-month extension, not a long-term contract.
Phil was on probation. A short leash, if you will.
Through the spring and summer Phil and I got to know each other. I discovered the Zen of dog walking. He learned to chill. We have reached a good point in our relationship. I feed him and he, in turn, acts happy to see me. This is a new experience. Humans are often interested to see me, but rarely jump up and down giddy and happy upon my arrival.
Phil, on the other hand, does this every single time I walk up to him. How can this not be good for the soul?
The orange paint on the lawn is dry. This week the fence guys come to build a dog run off our deck. Phil will have a penthouse from which to monitor the squirrels and keep his master safe.
And our family will enjoy a traditional holiday gift with a twist.
Our kids will not get a puppy for Christmas.
But they will get to keep one.

The 5 states making the most from beer
When you pop a cold brew this holiday weekend, you're helping some state's bottom line. These states collect the most from beer.
By Samuel Weigley, 24/7 Wall St.
Most states rely on a relatively small number of industries for much their employment and economic activity. The industries that most often come to mind are auto manufacturing, defense, government, financial services and agriculture.
As it turns out, the brewing and wholesaling of beer can be added to the list for several states. This beer economy can thrive in the United States because there are so many beer drinkers -- 6.38 billion gallons of beer were consumed in America in 2011, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of milk consumed that year.
Researchers who track the beer industry, led by the association of the industry's brewers, the Beer Institute, recently reported results of a national study. They found that the manufacturing, retail and distribution sectors of American industry get an extraordinary boost from beer production. Among the 50 states, according to the report, Colorado and Missouri rely on beer for more than 6% of their gross domestic products (GDPs). The entire manufacturing industry is responsible for only 10% of the national GDP.
Related at 24/7 Wall St.: States with the fastest growing economies
The top three states, as measured by the beer industry's economic effect on GDP, are Colorado, Missouri and Wisconsin. It probably is no accident that the country's three largest brewers were founded in those states -- Anheuser-Busch InBev S.A./N.V. (BUD) in St. Louis, SABMiller (SBMRY) in Milwaukee and Molson Coors Brewing (TAP) in Golden, Colo. Each state still has a large number of brewery locations compared to other states, and the same is true for the employee count of brewers and related industries.
While much of the beer produced in these states is shipped around the country, states with larger brewing industries also tend to be associated with more beer consumption. Of the 10 states where beer production represents the highest proportion of GDP, seven consume more beer per capita than the U.S. average. In 2011, Americans consumed about 28.3 gallons per person. This includes New Hampshire, which drinks more beer than any other state in the country -- 43 gallons per capita.
The 10 making the most from beer also appear to be much more open to drinking as well. Of the top 10 states, only one -- Georgia -- prohibits Sunday sales of beer. All 10 of the states allow beer to be sold in gas stations or convenience stores, while eight other states around the nation prohibit it.
Based on total economic impact by state provided by the Beer Institute and GDP by state from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, 24/7 Wall St. calculated the 10 states where the beer industry accounted for the largest portion of the state economy. Among the data we included were the number of brewers and beer wholesalers in each state, as well as the jobs created by each industry and total tax contribution by the industry, all from the Beer Institute for 2012. Based on data published last year, the Beer Institute calculated the total amount of beer sold in the state each year, and, dividing it by the total population over the age of 21, estimated the average consumption per person.
These are the 5 states making the most from beer.
1. Colorado
> Beer as a pct. of GDP: 6.31%
> Beer economic output: $14.8 billion (3rd highest)
> GDP: $234.3 billion (18th highest)
> Jobs: 58,360 (13th highest)
No other state's economy is directly affected by the beer industry more than Colorado. The beer industry produced $2,850 per resident in the state, more than in any other state by about $660. Moreover, approximately one in every 89 jobs in the state is tied to the beer industry, the highest concentration in the country. Colorado is home to the Molson Coors Brewing Company. The brewery in Golden is the largest brewer by volume in the company, producing more than 11 million barrels of beer each year. Colorado's alcohol sales laws are fitting for the state with the largest brewing economy. Colorado doesn't have any restrictions on beer sales in grocery stores, convenience stores, or gas stations, but it does prohibit wine and spirit sales in those places.
2. Missouri
> Beer as a pct. of GDP: 6.10%
> Beer economic output: $13.2 billion (6th highest)
> GDP: $216.1 billion (22nd highest)
> Jobs: 64,320 (11th highest)
More than 6% of Missouri's GDP came from the beer industry, higher than in all states except for Colorado. The beer industry was responsible for generating about $441.65 in taxes per capita. St. Louis is home to the North American headquarters of Anheuser-Busch, which controls 47% of the U.S. market share for beer. The company announced plans in late 2012 to purchase Groupo Modelo for $20.1 billion, which would give Anheuser-Busch an additional 6% market share in the country. However, antitrust concerns from both consumers and the U.S. Department of Justice have stalled the bid.
3. Wisconsin
> Beer as a pct. of GDP: 3.90%
> Beer economic output: $8.7 billion (11th highest)
> GDP: $221.8 billion (21st highest)
> Jobs: 60,630 (12th highest)
Wisconsin's beer industry generated more than $1,500 in economic activity per capita, more than in all but two other states. Wisconsin is also one of just three states that has more than one job in the beer industry for every 100 people. Milwaukee is home to the North American headquarters of SABMiller, which produces beers such as Miller Lite, Coors Lite and Blue Moon through its joint venture with The Molson Coors Brewing Company. The joint venture, called MillerCoors, has roughly 30% market share of all beer in the United States. The brewery in Milwaukee produces 10 million barrels of beer per year and employs 720 people.
4. Vermont
> Beer as a pct. of GDP: 2.40%
> Beer economic output: $552 million (7th lowest)
> GDP: $23.0 billion (the lowest)
> Jobs: 6,130 (6th lowest)
Compared to many states, Vermont's beer industry is actually quite small, with a total economic output of just over $552 million, the seventh-smallest amount in the country. But it is a different story when comparing the industry to the state's population as a whole. According to the most recent figures from the Brewers Association, a trade group representing manufacturers, Vermont has more craft breweries per capita than any other state. One of the largest microbreweries in the country, Magic Hat Brewing Company, is located in Burlington.
5. Ohio

A Market Test for Natural Monopoly in Local Exchange
AbstractIs the incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC) a natural monopolist? The analysis indicates that the LEC cost function is not supportable: LECs appear to be either nonsustainable natural monopolies or nonnatural monopolies the set of services they currently offer. However, recent technological changes suggest that whether LECs are natural monopolies over their current offerings is immaterial for policy making, because competitors are enjoying economies of scope in offering both LEC and non LEC services. Based on these results, deregulation of LECs is discussed in a Type I/Type II error framework. Copyright 1995 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs
The Pittsburgh Steelers almost found themselves in a precarious situation at quarterback for at least one play Monday night in their 16-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. After quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had left the game in the third quarter with his shoulder injury, backup Byron Leftwich landed awkwardly on his back and head after throwing on his first play in the game. Leftwich was very slow getting up and looked like he might have to leave the game for at least a play to clear the cobwebs as a result. With third-string quarterback Charlie Batch inactive for the game, the Steelers would Read more [...]

You Can Never Have too Much Ale (Nouis)
Chapter 1
There is some mature content within this chapter, it is not necessary to read this chapter, but I will alert you when the mature starts in this chapter if you don't want to read it.
"Happy Twentieth, Louis!" A loud cheering erupted.
"It's not my birthday, that was seven days ago," Louis said rolling his eyes.
"We all phoned you, but you didn't answer," Harry said wrapping an arm around Louis' shoulder leaning his head against the other's.
"You're not getting any ale, Harry," Louis said with a smile, leaning down slightly, nibbling on Harry's shoulder.
"That's not fair! Niall, Zayn, and Liam all get to drink," Harry said pouting.
"They bought their own ale, ask them if you want some," Louis said smiling stupidly. Harry moved away from the eldest and went to every other male that had ale with him, of course only to be denied. It didn't matter once they were all sloshed he'd just steal some ale.
Harry watched as the other boys slowly became their more drunk selves, and because of this Harry took Louis' ale, because he had the best and slowly became buzzed. He found himself in his boxer-briefs, and he was really thinking it'd be a great idea to pull them off, but thought better of it, he didn't want to get his shaft stuck in something, or someone, that could get mad at him.
Louis was sitting in the corner of the living room, once he became totally shit-faced; he was more to himself, very quiet. It was a very odd sight for such a loud male. He was hugging himself looking at everyone making a fool of themselves. Niall was cracking jokes from left and right, of course making Harry laugh hysterically and making a usually stoic Zayn chuckle. A shit-faced Liam consisted of him spouting out facts and it caused the other three boys to look at him like he was Einstein.
Soon, Harry's brief's had disappeared and Louis had gone through the suit they were staying in to look for a room to crash in. Niall had seen him disappear, and Harry chased him away just to get him to find him and bring him back. The Irishman moved through the many hallways, although he was drunk, so it could just be two. The staggering nineteen year old opened a door and found Louis laying face up on the large bed in the middle of the room.
"Why are you hiding? It's your birthday!" Niall shouted looking around the room seeing the clock, it was almost mid night. Where were the girls that Harry was suppose to get, this thought cause Niall to spin around towards, the door, but stagger backwards onto the bed.
"Because I don't want to be twenty," Louis said with a pouting face.
"Why? You can almost drink legally in America," Niall said with a slurred voice, a stupid smile planted on his face.
"Almost… I don't want to be a grown up though, you guys are all still teenagers, I want to be one," Louis whined leaning against Niall, biting his shoulder softly.
Niall couldn't help, but laugh loudly leaning into Louis, the two falling backwards on the bed Niall lying on top of him. Niall turned his head towards the clock counting down quietly to himself, not noticing Louis sitting up and leaning over him. Once Niall shouted Happy New Year he felt a pair of lips press against his own.
Niall's eyes fluttered closed slowly, moving his lips with the older male, when Louis began to push against the male's lips. While they were kissing a naked Harry Styles, opened the door peaking in, the other two boys on top of Harry looking over his bushy brown hair to look at the scene in front of them. Harry shut the door pressing his ear to the door.
"We need to be quiet, they can't see us, Lou will get mad if he sees us peeking," Harry said in a hushed, slurred voice. The other two nodded pressing their own ears to the door.
Louis pulled away flopping back on the bed. Niall sighed softly, not opening his eyes and continued to lay on Louis' lap, not bothering to put himself in a more comfortable position. His shoes had disappeared a while ago as well as Louis'. Niall began to snore softly, completely passed out on top of Louis.
The other band mates that were listening heard snoring and Liam and Zayn left the door thinking nothing was going to happen. The still naked Harry was still hopeful, he was the drunk flirt, which included him wanting to hear and know all gossip he possibly could.
Niall scooted up so that his head was resting on Louis' chest; the spot on the male's lap was becoming uncomfortable because it had become hard under his head. Louis was awake, completely and totally trashed, but was also becoming horny. Besides being a quiet drunk, he was a horny one, which was probably the cause of being the quiet drunk. His hand went into the Irishman's blonde and brown hair running his fingers through the soft mess on top of Niall's head. The male moaned happily and turned slightly towards Louis.
Louis' other hand moved down Niall's chest slowly, moving under the male's shirt, flicking a nipple. Something he'd done many times sober; Niall arched up into the males' hand, encouraging him more. Louis' hand moved back down Niall's chest causing a groan to escape him. Because Niall wore his jeans lower than Louis thought was appropriate, Louis' hand was able to slip under the male's boxers easier than if Niall had been like Louis and wore his pants where they were suppose to go.
Niall's eyes opened slightly, his blue eyes looking up at Louis innocently, though his thoughts were far from innocent. Louis was encouraged by the male's lustful look and moved his hand further down, grabbing the slightly erect cock softly. His hand pumped the leprechaun's erection, Niall arching off of Louis' body. His head hitting the bed, his body arching over Louis' body, his ass touching the other side, as Louis touched.
Niall let out a shiver as Louis began pumping his erection. Louis slowly sat up, Niall moving back into the male's lap. Louis leaned down, pressing his lips against Niall's, releasing all the noises Niall had been holding in by biting his lip. Their kiss was filled with drunken lust; their tongues began to clash against each other's, feeling the inside of each other's mouths.
Louis slipped out from under Niall hovering over him, his hands leaving their places on Niall's body, tearing off the rest of the male's clothes, and his own clothes easily. Though they were both used to the quick loss of clothing. Louis moved back to Niall, and began placing love bites along the younger male's neck, yet another thing that was a normal occurrence for anyone in the band.
Niall spread his legs once he was free of clothes, Louis' hand traveled down Niall's body and pushed into Niall's untouched hole slowly. Niall arched up into Louis unable to speak of what he wanted, only able to show him through his body. Louis was able to understand though, pushing another finger into Niall, stretching him out more, and pushed a third in loud sounds erupting from Niall, his eyes shut closed tightly.
Harry was still standing by the door, his eyes widening. "Do you think they could be faking all those sounds?" He asked the other two boys that were back at the door listening.
"Of course, they're not that drunk right? Niall's Irish, he can hold his ale," Zayn replied quietly.
"That doesn't mean that Louis can, Louis is shit-faced. Niall must be too 'cause he wouldn't let it happen, would he?" Liam asked Harry like he would know.
"No, he wouldn't unless he was drunk, I think," Harry responded pressing himself closer to the door to hear.
Niall moaned out loudly as he felt Louis entering him, his legs wrapping around the male's waist, wanting to be able to feel the whole length. Niall captured Louis into another heated kiss wanting feel everything he could. Niall moaned out loudly into Louis' mouth arching, reaching his climax. Louis reached his own only seconds after, Niall's hole squeezing his member. Releasing any and all stress they'd gained within the first year of being in the band.
They finished with one final chaste kiss to each other's lips before falling asleep. Niall's legs fell away from Louis' waist, and Louis' hands rested on Niall's hips, his head resting in the crook of Niall's neck. They're staggering breaths soon slowed as they became unconscious.
—————————————————————————————————- Louis' arms wrapped around the warm body that was under him, surrounding him. He squeezed gently, placing more love bites along the body's neck. Of course he thought the body under him could possibly be the girlfriend he'd just recently broken up with, or even one of the girls that Harry had brought the previous night. He slowly opened his eyes, and looked down. There were no boobs pressing against his chest.
He heard a low groan, which would not usually come from a woman, and looked up to see one of his best friends. Niall's eyes fluttered open, looking down at Louis with a confused look. "Hey Lou, what's up?" Niall asked quietly. He moved to sit up and released a pleasured moan. He looked back at Louis. "What are we doing naked in a bed together?" Niall asked slowly beginning to panic.
Louis moved to sit up and felt his manhood slip out of the hot hole it had been in all night. Niall let out another moan shivering, looking away from Louis blushing darkly. "That… Is what I'm guessing we did," Louis said quietly, his head pounding.
"There's no way… Nuhuh," Niall said slowly sitting up, wincing, and shook his head.
"You two shagged all right, I heard it all last night, the other two boys don't remember listening though," Harry said quietly, walking in actually wearing pants. Louis jumped out of the bed not bothering to grab something to cover himself with. He looked around for his clothes, grabbing them quickly before fleeing the room. Niall looked after him with a shocked face.
"There's no way, you're shitting me Harry," Niall said, his Irish accent thicker in the morning, in a slightly begging voice.
"No, but I'll get you some pain pills, from what I heard… He just dived in," Harry said with a snigger, leaving the room for Niall to get in at least boxers, which is what he did in an awkward manner. He was going to have to get back at Louis for doing this to him.
"Here, I'll go talk to Louis and see how he's doing," Harry said handing Niall two pills and a glass of water before leaving the room to go into the bathroom Louis was scrubbing his teeth. "Are you okay?" Harry asked rubbing the eldest boy's back.
"Oh yeah, just fucking dandy. Woke up with my penis inside of my best mate, best thing to wake up with," Louis said glaring down at himself.
"Hey, at least it wasn't some one you hated," Harry, said with a shrug, trying to smile as best as he could, considering his best mate was in a bad mood. Louis glared at him and walked passed him going to change his clothes.
"We have to go to rehearsal," Louis muttered changing his clothes quickly, snapping his suspenders on and walked down stairs where Liam and Zayn were, fresh as daisies.
All the boys were piling into the van that was taking them to the studio where they would rehearse, and no doubt have interviews and have photos being taken of them.
Niall sat under the little leprechaun plushy he'd gotten from the boys, jumping slightly when Louis sat next to him, wincing when he landed. Harry just began to crack up knowing what was up; Liam and Zayn just rubbed Niall's head thinking he'd hit his head on the roof of the Van.
"I'll get you back Louis," Niall muttered under his breath, looking out the window.
"Get him back for what?" Zayn asked leaning forward, whispering low enough for Niall and Louis to hear him, or what he was trying to accomplish. The other two band members leaned forward to hear what Niall was talking about.
"There's no way you can prove I did anything," Louis said with his usual perky smirk.
"Oh yeah? I remember it all, and so does Harry. I will get you back… Just you wait. You won't know when it's going to come back at you. It could be in an hour or in forty years from now," Niall said in a low voice an evil glint in his eyes.
"You messed with the wrong leprechaun!" Harry said loudly.
"Louis' a gremlin!" Liam shouted, Zayn just chuckled, shaking his head. Louis rolled his eyes and leaned away from Niall, who was as well, looking out the window as they passed screaming girls, entering the studio parking lot.
They finished their rehearsal and were now getting pictures taken of them, in a different part of the studio, all the while doing an interview with a minor American tween/teen magazine that had flown over to interview them. They were asking them questions about girls and other questions that involved what they liked in girls. Nothing like they were used to, like answering questions about their own life. They also answered questions about the American they'd be touring with in America, not nothing important was said, and they left to get ready for the day long journey through the U.K. and soon to the United States, for their tour.

State-Mandated Watering Restrictions Coming Soon
For quite some time, the City of Exeter has promoted voluntary water conservation measures and has encouraged all Exeter consumers - residential, business and commercial/industrial classifications served by the City's water system – to help spread and balance peak water demands. Voluntary compliance has helped to ensure an adequate water supply and pressure for the entire City's needs, including fire protection.
Due to the increasing severity of the prolonged drought in California, the State Water Resources Control Board has adopted an emergency regulation that will require ALL urban water providers to limit their customers to watering no more than two times per week. The Exeter City Council is reviewing this regulation and is expected to adopt an Urgency Ordinance to comply with this State regulation. Watch for more developments on this issue.
CURRENT Voluntary Watering Guidelines:
Residents are asked to limit watering to the following schedule to help reduce stress on the City's drinking water supply from June 1st to September 30th annually:
- Odd numbered street addresses water only on Wednesdays, Fridays, and/or Sundays.
- Even numbered street addresses water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and/or Saturdays.
- No outdoor watering on Mondays to allow the City's system to recharge.
- This program also encourages all customers to turn off their sprinklers on rainy days.
- No watering between 10AM and 8PM

A straight style expands into erratic waves for Ann Yee's collection…
For her Spring/Summer 2015 collection, Ann Yee was inspired by New York City's unstable weather patterns, particularly that unpredictable time of year between late winter and early spring. "The romanticism of a stormy spring meets mixed media," said Yee at Refinery Rooftop where her Spring/Summer 2015 collection debuted.
Top 3 Hair Care Questions Answered
How to get chic soft waves with Aveda Hair. Aveda's Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders created soft waves at Stella's AW14 presentation for an "off-duty" look with a bit of edge. Here's how to copy the look.
Using bespoke products to suit the needs of the model's hair condition and texture, "we put short hair up in a loose, undone chignon and kept long hair down with a barely there wave created twirling sections of hair and letting it set with a little heat. We completed each look by tousling and running new Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Oil through hair for extra moisture and shine." – Antoinette Beenders.
Step 1.
Section hair and prep according to texture and condition. Use Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair to repair and strengthen hair or use Smooth Infusion Style Prep to smooth hair and help tackle humidity or use Pure Abundance Style Prep on fine hair to boost volume.
Step 2.
For the long look: twirl small pieces of hair from the back section first, heat with a blow dryer and let set. Repeat on front 2 sections of hair.
For the short look: guide hair away from face and secure into ponytail just above nape of neck with millinery elastic. Twirl ponytail around elastic and pin in place. Let shorter pieces of hair stay free for a more undone appearance.
Step 3.
For the long look, gently tousle and run Dry Remedy Moisturizing Oil through hair. Also run fingers through the short look with the oil starting at temples and finishing at elastic.
Step 4.
Finish both looks with a misting of Aveda Air Control Hair Spray all over for a strong but barely-there hold.
Top tip. For hair that needs more moisture incorporate Dry Remedy Moisturizing Shampoo and Dry Remedy Moisturizing Conditioner into haircare routine in addition to Dry Remedy Moisturizing Oil.
Aveda Backstage: Ann Yee SS14, New York Fashion Week
Aveda Global Styling Director Allen Ruiz created what he referred to as "urban street style colliding with shiny, modern elegance" for the Ann Yee Spring/Summer 2014 presentation.
Yee was inspired "by the history of urban Detroit, Michigan – USA, its current crumbling economic state, combined with an appreciation for the survivalist spirit of the city as it moves towards a transformation. The collection entitled – Resurgence – revels in the structured, metallic elements of the auto industry and the draped, angular silhouettes of the city's weathered buildings against the skyline."
How to get the look:
Step 1: Mist dry hair with Aveda Pure Abundance™ Style Prep™ and blow dry straight with a round brush. This will add the texture and grip needed to create this look.
Step 2: Separate out 3 sections of hair (left, middle, right) and prep the 2 side sections with Aveda Phomollient™ Styling Foam to ensure a clean look that adds shine without build up or weight.
Step 3: Carefully begin to gather hair from the temple and form a tight, delicate braid down to the nape of the neck. Secure with a clear hair tie.
Step 4: Repeat on the other side and tie both sections together at the nape of the neck.
Step 5: Gather the top half of the middle section of hair and begin to roll and pin into a structured twist that kisses the braid just behind the ear.
Step 6: Flat iron the remainder of hair to fall over the shoulders and clear hair tie. Use Aveda Control Force™ Firm Hold Hair Spray to smooth hair into place for a firm, long lasting hold.
Step 7: Finish the look with a fine mist of Aveda Brilliant Spray on Shine™ to eliminate flyaways.

A New Radical Based Approach to Offline Handwritten East-Asian Character Recognition
Tenth International Workshop on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (2006)
Abstract: East-Asian characters possess a rich hierarchical structure with each character comprising a unique spatial arrangement of radicals (sub-characters). In this paper, we present a new radical based approach for scaling neural network (NN) recognizers to thousands of East-Asian characters. The proposed off-line character recognizer comprises neural networks arranged in a graph. Each NN is one of three types: a radical-at-location (RAL) recognizer, a gater, or a combiner. Each radical-atlocation NN is a convolutional neural network that is designed to processes the whole character image and recognize radicals at a specific location in the character. Example locations include left-half, right-half, top-half, bottom-half, left-top quadrant, bottom-right quadrant, etc. Segmentation is completely avoided by allowing each RAL classifier to process the whole character image. Gater-NNs reduce the number of NNs that need to be evaluated at runtime and combiner-NNs combine RAL classifier outputs for final recognition. The proposed approach is tested on a real-world dataset containing 13.4 million handwritten Chinese character samples from 3665 classes. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach scales well and achieves a low error rate.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad addressed the public on Thursday afternoon after multiple shootings near Downtown Louisville.
Conrad said he was shadowing 2nd Division officers when the violence broke out around 1 p.m. and officers were called to the 1000 block of 32nd Street. From that shooting two people are deceased and two were injured, both are at University Hospital.
While officers investigated the first shooting and were establishing a crime scene, Conrad said a second shooting occurred after an altercation between two women outside of the crime tape.
Conrad said one woman shot the other woman and an nearby officer shot the shooter. The shooter was transported to the hospital and the other woman passed away, Conrad said.
Conrad did not confirm if in fact the shooter is pregnant or how many shots were fired.

Yes IKEA sellsl it. At least in Sweden.
It is called SÖDERHAMN
I believe it will be available in the U.S. soon. It is available in Europe right now. It is called Soderham. Here is the like for it on the U.K. Website. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/series/22178/
Yes, in Sweden at least. It's name is SÖDERHAMN and it comes in various shapes such as couch, chaise, armchair... In about 10 colours I think. I think it's gorgeous, too!
It's available in Canada, too, but only in stores, it can't be ordered online.
Pretty sure I saw these on the US website this morning. I did a search for "new"
Yes, it is available in store only. It's on my list of contenders for my next sectional, anyone have any feedback on it?
Here it is:
Looks like it's new.
Hi Liz,
I own Söderhamn as a sofa and chaise lounge combination. It is absolutely comfortable and relaxing, looks beautiful "airy" because of the thin legs and armrests and it is very deep. You can use it as a guest-bed as well. I saw it in this turquoise color - beautiful, but we bought it in beige, the fabric-quality seems to be a little bit better. Here you can see it on the US-Website: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=S%C3%96DERHAMN
all the best
@ Seladon -- Ikea seems to offer two levels of quality these days -- sort of their standard and then slightly better. Can you speak to the quality of these at all? For example, do the covers shift on the cushions so that they don't look very tidy after a while? is the fabric thin? or reasonably durable?
All of the SODERHAMN modular pieces for the sofa, ottoman and chaise lounge are available in-store in Israel. There are five color options; light turquoise, natural (off-white), beige, dark grey and black.
I almost bought this sofa last night in beige at Ikea, but I came across an issue. The pricing seems off. The cost for the corner section in particular is $200 regardless of fabric which seems weird as everything else the cost increases as you select nicer fabrics. Additionally a corner piece in beige is $200 while a single seat which is a corner piece without the armrest and missing one of the 2 pillows costs $299. I'm going to buy mine before someone realizes this.
So a sofa which is priced at $649 in Replosa Beige can be purchased for $400 if you just buy two corner pieces and it is exactly the same size, except the one issue is that it has 4 legs instead of two. Is having 2 less legs worth $250?
I'm pretty sure that I saw this at Ikea yesterday, and the blue fabric looked really cheap to me. But I'm not 100% sure.
@ Urbancricket: the character of the sofa is relaxing in general. If you fluff the pillows up regularly, it looks very good and tidy. There are just a little wrinkles in the seating area we use the most. To mee, this is not irritating. I have it for half a year now in Replösa-fabric which is slightly thicker and feels good to touch. It has a little more grip than the thinner version Isefall-fabric) and seemed more durable, that's why we decided for it. I would buy it again in exactly the same fabric. The color beige is very nice, suits perfect to our oak-flooring and fits to many different accent colors. I already combined it with grey, white, black, orange, purple and yellow.
(Sorry for my bad english... I'm german.)
All the best
Seladon your English is fantastic!
The US has it, at least they have the sofa. I sat on it last weekend. It looks great, but wasn't very comfortable.
Thank you everyone for helping me track this down! I will checking Ikea this weekend for quality and might be purchasing...I'll report back.
Let us know how it is! I am absolutely in love with it in Isefall...
My husband works for IKEA US (San Diego) and that sofa is actually being sold right now in our San Diego IKEA Store.
It has been available in Europe for a few months.
Did u do it? I too am considering ordering 2 corner pieces on line to make a little couch.
I own SÖDERHAMN sofa + chaise combination in Replösa beige. There seems to be packaging problem with it. All cushions come vacuum packed, however, seat cushions fail to expand after the unpacking. I waited for a week - still flat. I had to return to IKEA to get a new cushion set, they were accommodating, but when they opened brand new package to pull the cushions from, they too were flat. So, they gave me set of normal ones from their show room. Beware of this defect!
Did they allow you to just take the cushions back and exchange them? We just bought the same couch last night and 3 out of the 5 cushions are flat...
Can anyone tell me what the leg height is on the SÖDERHAMN? In other words, the clearance between the floor and the bottom of the sofa/chair. Thanks!

A proposed constitutional amendment that would supposedly protect Hoosiers' right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife has made it out of a Senate Committee.
Since some language that was meant to protect farming was removed, it will have to start all over because it's now different.
In Indiana, a resolution must pass two consecutive legislatures before it goes to the ballot for ratification but since it's different now it hasn't done that.
Erin Huang, Indiana director of the Humane Society of the United States, called the proposed amendment a solution in search of a problem.
She is concerned that poachers and others who wish to exploit the system would use it to challenge existing restrictions.
The changed amendment did pass the first round of ratification but it must still be agreed to by the General Assembly one more time before it can go to state voters.

Five seasons into his NHL career, Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green has made a living as a high-risk, high-reward player.
On Friday night, both sides of his game were on display; late in regulation, he made a turnover that led to a Carolina Hurricanes goal, but later redeemed himself by scoring 1:16 into overtime to give the Capitals a 4-3 victory.
"I felt like I had a few chances tonight – I didn't really have my feel," Green said after the game. "For that one, I got lucky there. I was just excited that it went."
Green's sixth goal of the season – and second game-winning goal – came after Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom beat a defenseman in the corner and found Green all alone in the slot, where he beat Carolina goaltender Cam Ward with a clean wrist shot.
It was redemption for Green, whose third-period turnover led to Carolina forcing overtime. With Hurricanes forward Joni Pitkanen in the penalty box for interference, Green skated to the top of the point and tried to make a pass in the opposite direction, but was picked off by Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason.
Gleason, wearing a full visor after an Alexander Ovechkin shot deflected off his stick and into his face (requiring 30 stitches), broke away from the Capitals defensemen and fired a slap shot over Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore, tying the game at three with just fewer than 7 minutes remaining.
"Their D-man made a great play," Green said of the turnover. "I didn't even see him."
An aggressive play by Green was also the factor in the first goal of the game, when he skated into the Carolina zone, passed the puck and took a hard hit to the face. Green said that he "kind of went fuzzy" after the hit, and remained on the ice for a few seconds.
When he started to re-join the play, Carolina had a two-on-one break, and newly acquired Jiri Tlusty finished off the play by tapping in a pass from teammate Brandon Sutter.
"It was great," Tlusty said. "It was [my] first shift. [Brandon] Sutter made a nice play and it was in the net."
Carolina forward Eric Staal would add another goal in the period and the Capitals found themselves down by two heading into the first intermission, despite leading in shots 14-4.
"We were circling everywhere," Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Even though the shots were pretty one-sided, I think on the basis of scoring chances, [Carolina] had as many or more than we did. We've gotta get back to it and just play the way we can. We weren't getting the puck deep and we were trying to be fancy, and when we try to be fancy, nothing works."
In the second period, Boudreau reunited the line of Ovechkin, Backstrom and Alexander Semin, and saw huge dividends. Semin cut the lead to one 13:07 into the period by beating Ward with a wrist shot from the top of the circle, and then tied the game with 0.6 seconds remaining by scoring on his on rebound a breakaway.
"As I was skating forward, I looked at the clock and there was five seconds left and I was contemplating whether I should shoot or what," Semin said through a translator. "And I just stopped and I got a lucky bounce and I saw the goalie down so I just shot the puck."
Early in the third, Capitals forward Tomas Fleischmann gave the Capitals a 3-2 lead by beating Ward with a wrist shot after a pass from center Mathieu Perreault. Gleason's late goal would tie it, setting the stage for Green to live up to the nickname given to him a few seasons ago: "Game over."
"Really good players, if they're having a bad game," Boudreau said, "still have a tendency to step up and still be in the limelight."

5 Tips for Less-Stress Vacations During Pregnancy
Are you feeling burned out from the trials and tribulations of pregnancy and your day-to-day routine? Dreaming of flying to exotic locations or jumping in the car for a relaxing adventure? Don't let pregnancy stop you from taking that much needed holiday. Just follow these five tips for a less stressful vacation.
Vacation at the Right Time
One of the first things to consider when planning a vacation is to go at a time that best fits the trimester of your pregnancy.
"Early pregnancy can come along with morning sickness and fatigue," says Melissa Gurry, Inner Powers Healing Coach and Trainer. "In the last few weeks of pregnancy you may not be up to running around." For these reasons, the second trimester seems to work best for most women—but always check with your health care provider first before planning any travel during pregnancy.
Keep your options open when choosing a destination. Regardless of what trimester you will be in while traveling, a low key vacation is probably the best way to go. Amusement parks should be traded in for a less stimulating and more relaxing vacation. A spa or resort destination is a popular choice for pregnant women.
Rebecca Anderson, who traveled twice while pregnant, visited a spa and cautions, "Many resorts/spas will often say they offer 'maternity massages,' but check them out beforehand. Your doctor as well as many pregnancy books will delineate what should and should not be done." This Woodstock, Georgia, mom continues, "A true pregnancy massage differs greatly from the traditional massage resorts offer. A massage that is done correctly will relieve all the aches, pains, and tension you have due to pregnancy."
Another travel option that many women should consider is a business trip—whether it is your own or your spouse's, these trips can be an excellent opportunity for family time.
Gurry took advantage of this opportunity and traveled with her husband on his business trips while pregnant. "My two-year-old and I would travel to Boston along with him. We enjoyed visiting the aquarium and science center, and [went] shopping," she says. "At the end of the day we would meet for dinner and discuss what we learned. If time allowed we would extend the trip a day so that the family could enjoy some time together before returning home. Today my son is seven and still asks if we can visit Boston."

William A. Cowan
Part of the land ceded by the Creek Nation in 1802 was used to create Baldwin County on May 11, 1803.
On December 10, 1807 four new counties were from Baldwin County. The new counties were Morgan, Jones, Putnam, and present-day Jasper (originally named Randolph County at the time of the act).
Twiggs County was formed 1809 from part of Wilkinson County.
Laurens County was formed on December 10, 1807, from portions of Wilkinson County and Washington County.
Pulaski County was created on December 13, 1808 from a portion of Laurens County.
Note: Baldwin County was an original county formed in 1803. An 1861 courthouse fire destroyed Superior Court Records, including all deeds.
Jones Co. deed Book P, Page 184 contains a 7 Dec 1820 deed where a Mary Cowan and William A. Cowan sold land to Joseph Cowan.
Could Mary Cowan be a sister of William A. and Joseph Cowan ?
Jones Co. district maps can be found at http://cdm.sos.state.ga.us/cdm4/dmf.php under Baldwin Co.
I found references to the 1st Regiment Georgia Militia being commanded by a Col. Grover Harris.
I also found reference to their being a Jeptha Vining Harris being a General of the Georgia militia.
So far I have not proved a connection of William A. Cowan to either commander. One could theorize that Jeptha Vining Cowan is named after Jeptha Vining Harris. No occurnaces of the given name Jeptha were found in any of William A. Cowans grandchildren.
Hopefully a future release onlline of War of 1812 pension records will shed some light on William A. Cowan's military service.
Transcription by Jeannie (Powell) Marczak received 5/9/2012 from "History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861" by Gordon Burns Smith
from Chapter 12 Georgia Militia Generals, H-Z, page 302:
JEPTHA VINING HARRIS (1782-1856) was born on 27 April 1782 as the son of Walton Harris and his wife Rebecca (Lanier) Harris. Jeptha graduated in the first class of the University of Georgia, 1804. Jeptha V. Harris lived in Clarke, Elbert, and Morgan Counties. He practiced law in the Northern Judicial Circuit, where lie became "a distinguished lawyer of the Georgia bar." He represented Elbert County in the Georgia House of Representatives, 1811, 1812. The governor comminissioned him brigadier general of the 1st Brigade of the 4th Division in the place of Allen Daniel, promoted, on 3 December 1812. Harris represented Elbert County in the Georgia Senate, 1825. He was promoted to major general of the 4th Division on 9 November 1829, resigning his commission in 1845. General Harris died in Cobb County on 29 June 1856, and was buried in Old Madison Cemetery in Madison, Georgia. (Ref 20 - see \Cowan\Cowan Library Research0001.pdf file)
Of General Harris, Garnett Andrews said "he was a fine old gentleman with a fine family, of great wealth and greater hospitality." General Harris was the source of Garnett Andrews' information about George Cook and the origins of the Troup and Clark factions that dominated Georgia politics for so many years.
Harris married Sarah I Hunt (15 June 1789-1871), daughter of Richardson Hunt (1762-1813), on 11 October 1804. Six of the Harris' sons graduated from the University of Georgia. One of them, William Littleton Harris (1807-1868), graduated from the University of Georgia in 1825. He became a lawyer, and about 1836 moved from Washington, Georgia, to Columbus, Mississippi. He served as judge of the Circuit Court, and subsequently became a justice on the Mississippi Supreme Court, despite the fact that he "shunned politics." He also declined an appointment to the United States Supreme Court. He died in Memphis, Tennessee, on 26 November 1868.
from Volume I Campaigns and Generals page 393:
1st Brigade, 4th Division, G.M. (Elbert, Hart. Lincoln, and Wilkes Counties)
BG Jeptha Vining Harris, comm. 1812, prom. 1829
4th Division commanded by
MG Jeptha Vining Harris, comm. 1829, res. 1845 (unable to completely verify this since copy received did not include page 392)
Another Jeptha Vining, also a possible source for the Jeptha Vining Cowan:
Jeptha Vining was born in Sutton, MA. in 1738 according to the information that he gave to the Baptist Association. His parents were William Vining and Anne Nichols who was related to the Salem witches. The family went to Onslow Co. NC in 1740 and then onto Anson Co., NC. He got his ordinance to preach in 1761 in Cantony which is in Pitt Co. NC. today and married Amy Miller in 1754 when he was 1754 at age 16 maybe in Marlboro, SC. Children were Thomas, Ann, Joshua, John, Mary, Matthew, Uriah, Abigail & Jane. Jeptha began setting up churches in SC and then went into Warren and surrounding counties to institute churches. His last church that he was the pastor of was Long Creek Baptist Church in Warrenton, Warren Co., GA. His first wife had died by this time and he married a widow Mary Thomas. He is
buried in the church cemetery and his headstone has finally been found. The front has washed away with time but on the back is carved, JV. His eldest son Thomas went onto Limestone Co., Al. and died there. The rest of the children scattered to LA., MS. or stayed in GA.
c1830 contains the following people yet unaccounted for:
1 Male born 1825-1830 (most likely a child that died before 1840)
1 Male born 1800-1810

From Jeptha V. Cowan notes:
Book M, Page 210: On 17 Jun 1856 Jeptha V. Cowan of said county deeded to Henry Phelps of the same place for $5 via a promissory note for $2000 mortgaging lots 290, 308, and 323 in the 21st District of Pulaski Co. originally Wilkinson 607 1/2 acres +/-. Indenture due 1 Jan 1857. If promissory note repaid deed become null and void.
Note: Lot 290 is included in this parcel of land. I have no record of how or when Jeptha obtained it but it's interesting to note the same lot was in the 1808 land transactions of Joseph Cowan.

If these cemeteries still exists or if they are just hortorical reminants is unknown. But if Cowan burial location is to be found these locations need to be found and checked. Looking at satellite images some locations obviously still do have cemeteries that can be seen.

Elvira Walker
It's possible Elvira died between 20 Aug 1856 whe she applied for letters of administartion on William A. Cowan estate and 23 Sep 1856 when Jeptha V. Cowan applied for letters of administration on William A. Cowan estate. It's also possible she was unable or just did not want to perform the duty.
George W. Cowan
11 Aug 1857 Federal Union Pg 4:
Jeptha V. Cowan letters of administartion for George Cowan, order dated 10 Jul 1857.
Not sure of this is brother George Cowan or a different George Cowan.
