Planes and ships have been crisscrossing a remote area of ocean 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Australia, but the search was called off because of waves up to 4 meters (12 feet), high winds and heavy rain.
The suspension comes after a somber announcement late Monday by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak saying the plane had crashed in the sea, but which also left unanswered many troubling questions about why the Boeing 777, which was en route to Beijing on March 8 when it disappeared, was so far off-course.
It also unleashed a storm of sorrow and anger among the families of the jet's 239 passengers and crew—two-thirds of them Chinese.
China responded Tuesday by demanding that Malaysia turn over the satellite data used to conclude that the jet had gone down in the southern Indian Ocean.
Given that 153 of the passengers aboard Flight 370 were Chinese, the incident was a highly emotional one for Beijing. Family members of the missing passengers have complained bitterly about a lack of reliable information and some say they are not being told the whole truth.
Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng told Malaysia's ambassador to Beijing that China wanted to know exactly what led Najib to announce that the plane had been lost, a statement on the ministry's website said.
"We demand the Malaysian side to make clear the specific basis on which they come to this judgment," Xie was quoted as telling Iskandar Bin Sarudin during their meeting late Monday.
There was no immediate response from Malaysia.
The families planned to march on the Malaysian Embassy on Tuesday, and dozens of police were already outside the embassy compound.
Najib, clad in a black suit, read a brief statement on what he called an unparalleled study of the jet's last-known signals to a satellite. That analysis showed that the missing plane veered "to a remote location, far from any possible landing sites."
"It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean," he said.
He did not directly address the fate of those aboard, but in a separate message sent to some of the relatives of the passengers, Malaysia Airlines said that "we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived."
The conclusions were based on a more-thorough analysis of the brief signals the plane sent every hour to a satellite belonging to Inmarsat, a British company, even after other communication systems on the jetliner shut down for unknown reasons.
The pings did not include any location information. But Inmarsat and British aviation officials used "a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort" to zero in on the plane's last direction, as it reached the end of its fuel, Najib said.
In a statement, Inmarsat said the company used "detailed analysis and modelling" of transmissions from the Malaysia Airlines jet and other known flights to describe "the likely direction of flight of MH370."
Najib gave no indication of exactly where in the Indian Ocean the plane was last heard from.
Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said that under international agreements governing air travel "Malaysia needs to take control" and decide how to proceed.
High waves, gale-force winds and low-hanging clouds forced the multinational search to be suspended for 24 hours Tuesday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a statement.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he had spoken to Najib to offer help with the ongoing search and investigation.
"What up until now has been a search, moves into a recovery and investigation phase," Abbott said. "I have offered Malaysia, as the country legally responsible for this, every assistance and cooperation from Australia."
Abbott also said Australia would waive visa fees for relatives of the passengers and crew on Flight 370 who wanted to come to Australia.
Some of the relatives who gathered to hear Najib met the news with shrieks and uncontrolled sobs.
"My son! My son!" cried a woman in a group of about 50 gathered at a hotel near Beijing's airport, before falling to her knees. Minutes later, medical teams carried one elderly man out of the conference room on a stretcher, his face covered by a jacket.
Other relatives in Beijing went before cameras to criticize the Malaysian officials who "have concealed, delayed and hid the truth" about what happened to the plane. About two-thirds of the passengers on board were Chinese.
"If the 154 of our loved ones lose their lives, then Malaysia Airlines, the government of Malaysia and the military are really the executors of our loved ones," said a spokesman for the group who, like many Chinese, would give only his surname, Jiang. China includes one Taiwanese national in its total of Chinese on the flight.
Najib's announcement did nothing to answer why the plane disappeared shortly after takeoff. More specifically, it sheds no light on investigators' questions about possible mechanical or electrical failure, hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or someone else on board.
And it is not clear if the latest information can provide an exact location or just a rough estimate of where the jet crashed into the sea.
But several countries had already been moving specialized equipment into the area to prepare for a possible search for the plane and its black boxes, the common name for the cockpit voice and data recorders.
And there is a race against the clock to find any trace of the plane that could lead them to the location of the black boxes, whose battery-powered "pinger" could stop sending signals within two weeks. The batteries are designed to last at least a month and can last longer.
An Australian navy support vessel, the Ocean Shield, was expected to arrive in several days in the search zone, a defense official said. The ship is equipped with acoustic detection equipment that can search for the black boxes. Without them, it would be virtually impossible for investigators to say definitively what happened to the plane.
"We've got to get lucky," said John Goglia, a former member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. "It's a race to get to the area in time to catch the black box pinger while it's still working."
The U.S. Pacific Command said before Najib's announcement that it was sending a black box locator in case a debris field is located.
The Towed Pinger Locator, which is pulled behind a vessel at slow speeds, has highly sensitive listening capability that can hear the black box pinger down to a depth of about 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), Cmdr. Chris Budde, a U.S. 7th Fleet operations officer, said in a statement. He called it "a prudent effort to pre-position equipment and trained personnel closer to the search area."
The U.S. Navy has also sent an unmanned underwater vehicle to Perth that could be used if debris is located, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. The Bluefin-21, expected to arrive in Perth on Wednesday, has side-scanning sonar and what is called a "multi-beam echo sounder" that can be used to take a closer look at objects under water, he added. It can operate at a depth of 4,500 meters (14,700 feet).
The search for the wreckage and the plane's recorders could take years because the ocean can extend to up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) deep in that part of the ocean. It took two years to find the black box from an Air France jet that went down in the Atlantic Ocean on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in 2009, and searchers knew within days where the crash site was.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:
M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A.
along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

It's Time for the San Diego Vegan Co-op! Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on October 13, 2012.
It's Time for the San Diego Vegan Co-op!
About this project
San Diego has an extremely successful existing natural food cooperative grocery store but its right on the coast and has limited parking. San Diego needs a more centrally located co-op with ample parking to serve the growing needs of the community and you can Kickstart it into being right now!
San Diego Vegan Co-op
WHO: You might think that San Diego, a city of almost 4 million, would have plenty of resources to establish a 2nd co-op. But we're going to have to do it ourselves. Mitch Wallis has been creating San Diego start-up vegan business's for years. Mitch lives in San Diego's food world and he starts and manages restaurants and production kitchens. You know him and his team from Evolution Fast Food and Evo ready to eat food products.
Teagen and Rose McClain are dedicated to bring San Diego the co-op it deserves. You, your friends and families can help us make this a reality!
Rose McClain is a personal chef in San Diego. She has years of experience teaching whole foods and macrobiotic cooking. She looks forward to bringing a variety of cooking classes to San Diego's Vegan Co-op!
Teagen McClain has organized events such as World Fest and San Diego Veg Week. She can't wait to start filling the calendar with community events at San Diego's Vegan Co-op!
WHAT: We've found an 8,000 square foot property right in the middle of town with super easy access from the main freeway. Our building has a huge underground parking garage and a fully loaded theater/auditorium for community lectures, movie nights and special events. We are transforming this large empty building into a spacious grocery store featuring fresh organic local produce, a homeopathic/herbal pharmacy, and an upstairs cafe/bakery/deli/juice bar featuring gourmet homemade organic soups, salads, entrees, desserts and all around family cooking. You can look forward to free cooking classes as well!Bio-Fuel Workshops
Seeing as how we are right next door to California's only alternative fuel station which sells bio-diesel made from 100% recycled cooking oil, propane, natural gas, and more. We will offer hands-on workshops to assist with the conversion of automobiles to run on these clean burning fuels as well as on how to produce bio-diesel and ethynol at home. We have a huge flat roof that we will transform into a garden to grow our own herbs and veggies!
WHEN: Progress is underway. We're putting together our initial staff and planning our menus and the store lay-out and product mix. Construction of the 2nd floor restaurant will take about 6 months so we will be able to open in the Spring of 2013.
I don't have to tell you that a hundred and fifty grand is a lot of money. To get this project off the ground it is going to take that and possibly more. I believe it takes courage and commitment to make something like this happen, especially in this economic atmosphere.
Between Kickstarter and PayPal we have raised over $11,000 so far thanks to all that have pledged and believe in our vision.
Sometimes nothing in life comes easy. In trying to achieve anything worthwhile, there are hurdles and obstacles to overcome. Thomas Edison spoke about never giving up. He said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Maybe he did not invent the light bulb, but he perfected it trying 6,000 different types of plant growth before settling on carbonized paper.
That is the key, never giving up. We will try and try again until we can make San Diego Vegan Co-op a reality. The name may change once we are funded, the goal and mission will stay the same And we truly need your help..
What can you do?
Do you know how to contact a celebrity who can endorse us or provide a nice quote that we can use in our flyers and website? and/or appear at a fundraising event?
Do you know how we can access a large e-mail list? For example, The Human Society, the Sierra Club, a religious/spiritual group, yoga studios, natural healers, etc. We need to ask these organizations/individuals to send an announcement (the link to our kickstarter page) about our co-op to their list, we need a contact at the organization to work with on this.
Do you have contacts at any type of lending organization, social investment groups, individual investors, etc; that we can present our business plan to?
Let us know if you can help at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com!

Gunfight training: Hype, myth, and BS (part one)
What separates world-class performers from everyone else is what they think, believe, and program into their minds and are able to access under stress
What we think or believe — and the value we place on these attitudes — will directly influence you, either positively or negatively, in a deadly-force or high-stress event. These values will even have an effect on your everyday training. Over the course of the next two months — my next four consecutive columns here on PoliceOne — I will address some areas of concern that I believe inhibit performance in deadly force encounters and other stressful events. I will very likely piss some of you off. That's okay, because as long as I get you to thinking about this stuff, I'll have done my job.
As a world-class professional shooter and trainer, I deal with all aspects of performance, but particularly the top end of performance, and constantly strive to push the envelope, both in the real world arena and the competitive arena for myself and my students.
What separates world-class performers from everyone else is what they think, believe, and program into their minds and are able to access under real-world conditions of stress, uncertainty, and the unknowns that come along — this, along with an extremely high work ethic and discipline toward all facets of performance in actual events and in training in the critical difference that leads to winning.
There are a lot of sayings and beliefs that get bandied about and are widely regarded as "true" but in reality there is often very little validation or substantive research done to affirm them. There are also widespread beliefs about what being "well trained" actually means, and opinions vary enormously on this one issue.
It is my intent to look at these sayings and belief systems and see where the truth really lies. Let's get started with one from each category — Hype, Myth, and BS.
Hype: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
Like all good sayings, there is a grain of truth about this one... to a point. What I find is that people tend to move too slowly trying to be smooth and end up being slow. Then, when confronted with a very life like threat in real time, they end up rushing and making mistakes on the draw (and on other skills).
Reality — You must learn to move at the top end of your speed range without rushing or creating excessive antagonistic muscle tension. This is a trainable range that requires exact training — both physical and mental. Too many times I see students "sneaking up on the gun or target," trying to be smooth and just being slow along with it.
Thoughts — You're going to need specific, targeted training on this one to significantly increase your skills. Learning to "climb the mountain of peak performance" and get rid of limiting beliefs, change your mental state, work on kinesthetic awareness and processing as well as develop a whole new range of skills applications is far more complicated than just "go fast and try to be smooth". The results are worth the price of admission however.
Myth: "If your heart rate goes above 140 BPM, you won't be able to see your sights."
This one was a result of some information by Bruce Siddle and others on heart rate as an indicator of stress and its effect on vision.
Reality — The heart rate is only an indirect indicator of stress load and doesn't come close to showing what is really going on in the brain of the subject that is under the stress load. To test out this theory, I've personally wired up with heart rate monitors and undergone all sorts of stress testing. I've been able to visually and physically process what is going on with the gun and the sights at heart rates in excess of 184 bpm.
Thoughts — Stop telling people they can't see their sights when the heart rate goes above 140 BPM. It is not true and you are doing them a disservice.
BS: "If you keep missing your target, you need to slow down."
Reality — Speed is not the cause of the mistake but rather a distraction.
Thoughts — Attentional focus is the real culprit. First try to identify and fix the problem at the speed you made the mistake. Otherwise, how do you get better in terms of speed and precision?
Looking Ahead
That's it for now. In coming weeks — every other Monday or thereabouts, so I'm told by PoliceOne Editor Doug Wyllie — I'll be addressing all sorts of Hype, Myth, and BS, including stuff like the notions that "speed's fine but accuracy is final," and "competition will get you killed."

Phoenix Fashion Week Presents Chasing Beauty Screening at Studio Movie Grill Scottsdale
Photo of Serbian supermodel Biljana Misic courtesy of Nikola Jovanovic
If beauty's only skin deep, then being a model can't be all the globe-trotting, Tyra Banks-funded fun it's cracked up to be. We'd imagine it's quite the opposite: a world of disposable people who have their picture taken, walk some runways, look good for a few years and, once they don't, are immediately discarded. Any fame achieved is fleeting.
Director Brent Huff looks beyond the glossy surface of the modeling industry in his documentary Chasing Beauty. Through interviews with models, photographers, plastic surgeons, psychologists, makeup artists, and others, he reveals that ugly side.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The calls started coming into the 911 emergency dispatch center shortly after 1 a.m. April 6, as two men drove through Tulsa neighborhoods shooting pedestrians at random: people crying, questioning, worried about their own safety, giving rushed reports of fallen victims bleeding and unmoving.
Ultimately, police would arrest the men and charge them with killing three people and critically injuring two others. But the call center dispatchers at the time had no way of knowing how badly the victims were hurt or whether the shooters would end up in jail. Easter weekend began with violence and a lack of closure, Tulsa region dispatch supervisor Kimberly Faxon said.
"We get firsthand exposure when people are at their most traumatized — people screaming or gunshots in the background," she said. "But then we don't always know the rest of the story. I don't care how hardened you think you are to the job, you can't be exposed to that and not have it affect you."
Emergency dispatch managers recognize the potential harm of long-term emotional trauma and urge employees to seek counseling assistance, as has been the case with Tulsa dispatchers, Faxon said. The availability and quality of mental health care has dramatically improved in the 17 years that she's been with the call center, but it remains a challenge.
According to the American Psychological Association, post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is an anxiety problem that develops in some people after extremely traumatic events, such as combat, crime, an accident or natural disaster. People with PTSD may relive those events in the form of intrusive memories, flashbacks and nightmares. They may also avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma and have anxious feelings so intense that their lives are disrupted.
Call center operators handling 911 emergency calls can develop such symptoms even at a distance, according to a study by Northern Illinois University psychologist Michelle Lilly and former dispatcher Heather Pierce recently published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress. About one in 30 respondents reported symptoms severe enough to merit a PTSD diagnosis, they said, which suggests that the formal definition of traumatic event needs to be expanded by professionals in the field.
Regardless of whether the experience is identified as PTSD, Greg Giltner said he has seen enough examples of emotional distress to know that dispatchers need more support. Giltner, a sergeant and chaplain with the Oklahoma City Police Department, helps manage the central region 911 call center.
In both Oklahoma City and Tulsa, distressed dispatchers can immediately reach out to co-workers trained in peer support. The centers also have chaplains and psychiatrists on staff, backed up by an employee assistance program.
Giltner agreed with Faxon that employees are reluctant to seek out assistance because they see it as a weakness or social stigma. Even when such services are offered and people are prodded in that direction, some still balk. Giltner said the police department has gotten wiser over the years about how to deal with the challenge.
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink," he said. "Forcing employees didn't work. So what we've done is changed our training and addressed our hiring practices: When new dispatchers and police officers are hired, they're told upfront that when they're involved in a critical incident, a chaplain or peer-support volunteer will come assist you in some way."
Managers choose their words carefully, he said people dig in their heels at mandatory counseling while required debriefings are more easily accepted. Over time, with each new hire, the culture will change and people will come to accept the need for emotional support, he said.
Psychologist Mary Mihelich Ventonis said counseling is akin to brushing teeth twice a day to maintain good oral hygiene.
"It's prophylactic maintenance," she said.
Therapists need professional support as well for much the same reason, she said.
In her private practice in Tulsa, Ventonis specializes in PTSD. She has worked around the world with U.S. military families. Several commanders require that their soldiers visit therapists to help them process their experiences before redeployment, she said. Emergency dispatchers would benefit from similar programs.
"Otherwise you stand the risk of it becoming a lifelong emotional injury," Ventonis said.
Ventonis said it's important to recognize that some people are better suited for dealing with trauma, so assumptions and comparisons with other employees should be avoided. On the whole, however, it's better to be proactive and provide more assistance than not enough.
Faxon said that the days of silently toughing out emotional distress alone have passed and the workplace is better for it. She agreed that more work is necessary.
"At some level, even though they seem to handle it pretty well, I think they still are affected," she said. "I'm speaking from personal experience: When I was a very new dispatcher, we had a flood in Tulsa and I had a lady who drowned waiting for help. It affected me, and still to this day I think of that. I'll always carry regret that I wasn't able to get help to that woman in time. It stays with you."
For the Tulsa dispatchers who worked the Easter weekend shootings, the situation is a little different, Faxon said.
"There were numerous calls that were coming in at the time, which means a lot of our dispatchers were involved with the same event. And I think in the end that's made a difference because they can talk about it with each other," she said. "It helps to have someone you can talk to."

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania released a new study that suggests if we want to lower teen pregnancy rates in the United States, we need to raise reading levels of young girls.
According to reports, researchers looked at reading scores of more than 12,000 girls enrolled in Philadelphia public schools and compared those scores to any pregnancies and subsequent births from the cohort. They found that girls with lower reading skills were 2.5 times more likely to give birth as a teen than those girls with average reading skills. Within the cohort, African-American girls and Latinas were more likely to have below average reading skills than their white counterparts and were also more likely to have given birth.
The study doesn't conclude that low literacy rates are the main predictor of teen pregnancy, but they do help flush out some of the other predictors such as poverty, lack of access to birth control and abstinence-only sex education. The study's authors put it this way. "It is quite possible that adolescent girls who experience a daily sense of rejection in the classroom might feel as though they have little chance of achievement later on in life," said Rosemary Frasso, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. "Our findings underscore the role of literacy as its own social risk factor throughout the life-course."
Linking literacy with self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment and/or rejection helps us get to the larger, thornier problem when dealing with teen pregnancy and that is the extent to which our cultural devaluation of women and girls drives these rates. While teen pregnancy rates have hit an all-time low among all races and ethnicities, the disparities are still very real and very troubling. Latinos still have the highest numbers of teen births with 55.7 births of every 1,000 babies born to a teen girl. African-American teenage girls are not too far behind with 51.5 births for every 1,000 births.
That means that in order to get serious about addressing teen pregnancy rates we need to get serious about addressing poverty and entrenched, structural racial bias that perpetuates these cycles. It means we need to start talking about poverty and teenage pregnancy as public health issues, not simply "social ills." And most of all, it means we need to get serious about eradicating those forces in our culture that devalue young women, especially young women of color because the evidence is clear: when we invest in young girls, entire communities benefit. The returns are exponential.

When did we forget that children are our future, and investing in them, boys and girls, especially (because they are so easily pushed aside), is a hedge fund that can't lose. Reading for pleasure opens up a world of magic and wonder for kids, and makes their educations' goals possibilities soar.
way to go girls!
Educated people produce less children period.
But the children of educated are more likely to live longer lives and have success in life.
I live in a black and hispanic neighborhood and I agree the 2 cultures have more children than the white people. 20 years ago our neighborhood used to be predominately white and then they migrated up north.

Bruins Talk
The Bruins' coach says there's always been trash talk going back and forth, but some of the things being said today are inappropriate.
It seemed like Bruins defenseman Steve Kampfer was going to grab one of the final roster spots on the Bruins, but a left leg injury could open the door for fellow defenseman Matt Bartkowski.
Bruins defenseman Steve Kampfer went down with a left knee injury midway though the third period. He was helped off the ice, and is getting an MRI tomorrow.
The Bruins, 40 shots and all, lose to the Ottawa, 2-1, in their last TD Garden appearance before the start of the regular season.
The Red Sox aren't the only ones in town who have had to deal with an epic collapse. The Bruins experienced the feeling not long ago, and they became a better team for it.
CSNNE's Bruins Insider Joe Haggerty takes a look around the NHL.
The Bruins will have most of their regulars ready to go when they take on the Senators tonight.

"There could be a national ranking achieved in the (800) relay. Whoever wins, both teams should get national rankings."
"Our team loves the pressure. Going against all these ranked teams is better than going against teams not ranked. We're ready to compete at any time."
"Our kids are aware of where these teams are ranked. But I think this team will show up and play. They are battle-tested."
"There are some good teams. Pine View is ranked in the top five, Mountain View played well in its win over Payson, so it will be tough. Normally, we would have played three games by now. Our kids are really excited to play. They've been working hard. They're all frustrated and ready to get started. We're hoping to get good weather down there."
"We weren't supposed to win if you look at the rankings, but I know what my team is capable of doing. Is it disappointing? No. But I'm mad. I personally just don't like to lose, but at the same time, I'm happy with how exciting this team is when they're competing. I think this is the best team that I have ever put on the floor since I've been here. We're going to challenge for a national championship."
"Firestone is a great team. They deserve to be 20-1 and ranked where they are. They would win in pretty much any league."

Although Sherri Shepherd has yet to comment specifically on the brewing custody battle over her 9-year-old son, The View co-host's friends need to stop talking publicly, the lawyer for the boy's father tells PEOPLE.
Jeff Tarpley "doesn't want to raise his son in the glare of the media," attorney Duane Folke says. "If she'll stop talking, we'll stop talking. I want to talk in court."
Tarpley's custody modification request, filed by Folke April 2, is due to be heard in court July 21. Tarpley, a comedian, wants Jeffrey to live with him in Los Angeles, where he and his girlfriend have two sons, ages 8 and 3.
During a discussion on Monday's View about working parents, Shepherd said, "Mommy is trying to pay the bills."
Shepherd's friend Wendy Williams was more direct on her show Monday, saying Tarpley "says that her schedule is too busy and that she is neglecting their son Jeffrey and leaving him with unskilled nannies. Well, somebody's got to work!"
Meanwhile, friends of the co-host are jumping to her defense. "She is an amazing mom and spends a lot of time with Jeffrey Jr.," says a one source adding that Shepherd is really "hands on" when it comes to her son.
"He is never left alone with babysitters or nannies for extended periods of time. When she's doing The View, she takes him to school in the morning and when she has to travel for work, he often goes with her."
Folke urged Shepherd and her friends to avoid the temptation to vent their frustrations on national TV. "I don't understand why they can't keep their mouths shut," he tells PEOPLE.
Folke also took issue with Williams' suggestion that Tarpley and Shepherd's recently estranged husband, Lamar Sally, "have gotten together and they're trying to bury Sherri." Folke says it's a coincidence that Sally recently filed for custody of his and Shepherd's unborn child, who is being carried by a surrogate.
"What she said was preposterous," Folke says. "We're not ganging up on anyone."

The career of an autistic dancer from Sydenham has gone into overdrive after he reached the semi-finals of a major TV show.
Kaner Scott, 19, of Hazel Grove, made it to the semi-final of Sky 1's Got to Dance before being knocked out by the public vote on August 26, but he isn't going to let that keep him from dancing.
The former Eltham Green pupil (also known as Kaner Flex) passed a series of auditions to be put through to the live show with former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt as his team captain.
The young dancer was eliminated from the show after a public vote, despite judges insisting he was good enough to be a finalist.
Kaner's mum Nicola Dungate, 39, told News Shopper: "I'm very proud of Kaner, we all are.
"Even though he didn't make it to the final he has still got a lot out of it."
She added: "He has got himself a lot of exposure from being on the show and his name is out there.
"He started with just Hip-Hop and street dance and then he was doing all this body popping and contortion."
Got to Dance is the highest rated family show on Sky1 with almost a million viewers tuning in for the live episodes.
Kaner has only been dancing since he started to teach himself two years ago.
Kaner's unique and advanced style has caused people from the pop world to want him for their videos.
Mrs Dungate said: "He's been in a music video for Neon Jungle and an advert for Mentos. Rita Ora is interested in him as well.
"Kaner has autism and dancing has really helped him.
"I've definitely noticed a change in him since he started, he's much more confident."

Benedict XVI's record questioned as pope
2 years 8 months ago, euronews Videos
Joseph Ratzinger became Pope in 2005, following Jean-Paul II, after one of the Vatican's briefest decision-making conclaves in history – about 24 hours. Ratzinger had been John-Paul's right-hand man. The German cardinal, reputedly austere, now took on the mantle of promoting the Catholic faith throughout the world at age 78. His detractors nicknamed him the Panzer, likening him to a Second World War tank. His pontificate was not to be without controversy. Eighteen months into it, Benedict XVI, as he was now called, unleashed the first storm. He was giving a speech in Regensburg when he attributed more reason to Christian thought than to Islam. He was also interpreted to have said that Islam was intrinsically linked to violence. Around the planet Muslims protested but Benedict said he had been misunderstood. The atmosphere was calmer when he visited Istanbul three months later and, at the side of an Imam, faced Mecca. He devoted energy to patching up interfaith relations. He needed to do that with the Anglicans after suggesting that those who did not agree with having women as priests, or in marriage for homosexuals, would be welcome in his church. Benedict's beatification of Pope Pius XII aroused anger among some Jews, who said the wartime Pope had not done enough to protect Jews from Nazi persecution and the Holocaust. Benedict defended Pius. His own past was repeatedly scrutinised. When Joseph Ratzinger was a boy, membership in the Hitler Youth movement was mandatory. He enrolled but was let out to study for the priesthood. At 16 he was drafted into the army, and worked in an anti-aircraft brigade, but deserted shortly before the German surrender. When, in January 2009, the Pope reinstated Richard Williamson and several other traditionalist bishops, his judgement was sorely questioned. He aimed to heal a schism within the church, as Benedict's predecessor had excommunicated Williamson. Following the reinstatement, the British bishop, in an interview on Swedish television, denied the Holocaust. "I believe there were no gas chambers, yes. Between 200,000 and 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps, but not one of them by gassing in a gas chamber." Amid an international uproar, the Vatican said it had not been the Pope's intention to appear to condone a Holocaust-denier, and Rome said an apology by the bishop did not restore Williamson fully in the church. Benedict's papacy was also riven by the scandal of pedophile abuses by Catholic priests, and their handling. Europe and the United States seathed with revelations that the Vatican protected the abusers. It surfaced that the Pope himself, while archbishop of Munich, had allowed an admitted molester to continue church work with children. Benedict apologised to the victims, and announced new sanctions. There were other pontifical controversies as well: in Angola, his exhortation that wealth be better distributed, finance be more moral, like his denunciation of violence… all these messages, delivered on a continent plagued with the spread of AIDS, faded into the background when he said the HIV problem was made worse by the distribution of condoms.

Pounce Consulting was started in the Summer of 2001. The founding principals recognized that even though technology was becoming pervasive in the workplace, many companies were still struggling with implementing or using it effectively. This lead to the founding goal of Pounce Consulting that still remains our goal today:
To help companies improve – more... their bottom line and run their businesses better through the efficient use of technology.
And for Pounce Consulting, efficient use of technology means a number of things: fast implementation; easy to use; cost efficient; sized appropriately; scalable; and long shelf life. Over the past 4+ years, we've had the pleasure to work with a number of great clients. Pounce Consulting has worked hard to make sure that with each of these engagements, the client is better off then they were before.
In the Spring of 2005, the Pounce Consulting management team decided to move the company in a new direction. Building on the same principals the company was founded on, we shifted the company from a purely project oriented approach to more of an IT staff augmentation and development focus. Many of the companies we work with have a need to add interim development talent, be it for a few months or a few years. Pounce has access to some of the best developers in the industry and our focus is on matching these developers to the appropriate client.
Whether you are a company that needs help on a Java project or are a consulting company that needs to fill out a project team, Pounce Consulting has the personnel you need. Further, we have opened a division in Mexico to give our clients access to a largely untapped talent pool of lower-cost, high quality developers. Whether you want on-site support or want to use off-site development, Pounce Consulting now has a great alternative to overseas development in areas like India or China. With Pounce Consulting, the costs and skills are as good or better, but without the time zone and travel hassles. – less–ZoomInfo

Utah football notes Walk-on WR Tim Patrick 'surprised' to get starting spot
He still has work to do on his routes, and it still takes time to process what each play call means.
But Tim Patrick is moving up the depth chart rapidly - that truly takes one skill where he has excelled so far in fall camp.
"I think just catching the ball," he said. "I don't have many drops out here."
Patrick was revealed as the first-string receiver across from Dres Anderson on Utah's latest depth chart on Monday morning, as the team moves Kenneth Scott to starting slot receiver.
Patrick said he was surprised when coaches told him his newest role, and that he feels like he's still learning. His first practice with the ones didn't go all that well, either.
"After today I didn't feel like I should deserve the starting spot," he said. "I had a drop, then I had a DB make a really good play on one of my slants. I wasn't really blocking all that well, but I should come out better tomorrow."
Patrick's impressive learning curve has helped him stand out this fall. At 6-foot-5, he's the tallest receiver on the roster, and he's shown a knack for coming down with the ball. Patrick was a standout in Tuesday's scrimmage, grabbing six catches for 84 yards.
His back-up on the depth chart, Dominique Hatfield, is playing both ways at the moment, which makes Patrick's rise even more critical for the Utes.
"We knew he had ability, we knew he had talent, obviously or we wouldn't have recruited him," coach Kyle Whittingham said. "But for him to do what he's done so far is remarkable."
But other parts of his game remain raw. He said Anderson and Scott have helped him digest the playbook quickly, and he thinks he'll be ready to go in 10 days when the Utes open against Idaho State.
"I feel a part of the team," he said. "I'm not on the same page yet."
Deep D-tackles • The defensive tackle position battle is no longer a six-player logjam.
Nope, now it's a much more reasonable three-player logjam.
Things got slightly clearer on Monday as the Utes named junior Viliseni Fauonuku a starter at one of the defensive tackle spots. Nose guard is still up for grabs, with Sese Ianu, Clint Shepard and Lowell Lotulelei duking it out.
"I think Clint Shepard, it's probably him," Fauonuku said. "He's a little more versatile than some of the other guys. ... His work ethic is up there. He's one of the top guys on our team for that. And when he's in pads, he's hard to block."
That doesn't mean the others won't see time. Coaches have indicated that as many as six defensive tackles could be in the mix for snaps this fall, and even Fauonuku's backup, either Filipo Mokofisi or Stevie Tu'ikolovatu, will probably get regular reps.
The depth at the spot this year is "a blessing," Fauonuku said. Although Mokofisi and Lotulelei are both probably not starters this year, their teammates see good things ahead for the two freshmen.
"I wish I was as good as them when I was a freshman," Faounuku said. "Give it time, those guys are going to be great football players."
Of course, depth is not necessarily a good thing if it doesn't play well. The whole defense was still smarting Monday after giving up rushing yards galore in Saturday's scrimmage.
It's correctable, Faounuku said.
"Most of it was just missed tackles," he said. "If we come to hit someone with a purpose, we'll improve with that."
More depth chart movement • Matt Piper listed most of the major changes this morning, so feel free to check out that post if you haven't already. Guys who firmed up their starting roles include right tackle J.J. Dielman, right guard Isaac Asiata and the situation at quarterback. Falling off the two-deep: tackles Jackson Barton, Marc Pouvave, and tight end Evan Moeai.
This third week of camp could be make-or-break stretches for certain players to clinch at least back-up roles this fall: running back Troy McCormick, receiver Kaelin Clay, linebacker Marcus Sanders-Williams, defensive end Greg Reese, and safeties Brian Allen and Charles Henderson.
One change that isn't listed officially, but Whittingham added after practice: Brandon Cox is No. 3 on the quarterback job.
"He just outplayed Conner [Manning]," Whittingham said.
HIGHLIGHT • Dres Anderson really could provide the daily highlight in every practice, but he gets special mention for a one-handed grab he made by the right sideline in coverage against Eric Rowe.
STANDOUT • Jason Fanaika is keeping things interesting in the left end battle between him and Hunter Dimick. He batted down a pass from the line of scrimmage in Monday morning practice.
POSITION SPOTLIGHT • Kyle Whittingham with pleased with how Travis Wilson played Monday after winning the starting job. But Kendal Thompson "will play" this fall in a yet-undefined set of situational plays.
QUOTE OF THE DAY • We had Ron McBride in the office for a TribTalk rap. The discussion centered around a story Matt and I wrote about paying college players, but Coach Mac also dropped his opinion on this year's Utes. "They've got guys that can make plays and can hit a home run for you when you need it, so don't be surprised Utah has a better year than what people think."
You heard it here first, folks. You can check out the link to the full TribTalk here.

What Online Master's in Engineering Features Matter and Why?
Enrollment has to do with what types of students are admitted to the online engineering degree programs and other information about the admissions process. Most universities will accept both full- and part-time students and allow them to complete their engineering degree online without ever setting foot on the campus. Others may require one or more visits throughout the program. The best programs will also have flexible start dates, allowing students to begin in the spring or summer if they wish, instead of requiring them to begin in the fall. Applications can typically be completed online or printed, filled out, and mailed to the university. This category is pretty important because it contains much of the most important information about the school and who it would be a good fit for.
- Entirely Online - You can earn a degree entirely online.
- Flexible Term Start - The school does not require a Fall start for incoming students.
- Full-Time - The school allows students to be enrolled at full-time status.
- International Student Enrollment - The school offers enrollment to international students.
- Mail-in Form - You can apply by mail.
- No Application Fee - There is no application fee or application fee can be waived in certain circumstances.
- Online Application - You can apply online.
- Part-Time - The school allows students to be enrolled at part-time status.
- Selective Admissions - The school does not admit every applicant.
- Transfer Credits - The school accepts transfer credits to apply towards a degree.
Networking explains how the online university helps connect their students to alumni, faculty, and job opportunities. Many of these schools have alumni associations, and some also have Facebook and LinkedIn networks as well. The best online engineering degree programs will also have career services available to help newly graduated students find jobs in the engineering field. These sorts of connections will be extremely valuable to students, and this is one category where the best programs will really stand out from the rest.
- 25,000+ LinkedIn Network Members - The school has a LinkedIn network of alumni, faculty, and students with 25,000 members or more.
- Alumni Association - The school offers membership to an alumni association.
- Career Services - The school offers job placement or career services to students and graduates.
- Facebook Network - The school has a Facebook network of alumni, faculty, and students.
- LinkedIn Network - The school has a LinkedIn network of alumni, faculty, and students.
Application Requirements explains what students must submit in addition to their applications when applying to the online master's in engineering program. This often includes a personal statement, letters of recommendation, test scores, and a resume. Some schools require that students have some previous work experience in the engineering field, while others ask for undergraduate coursework or an undergraduate degree in engineering. This information is pretty important to know before applying to an online engineering degree program, but many schools have similar requirements, so ultimately, this category probably won't play a big role in the decision making process.
- Engineering-Related Undergraduate Coursework Required - The online school typically requires the applicant to have completed engineering-related coursework.
- Engineering-Related Undergraduate Degree Required - The online school typically requires the applicant to have an undergraduate degree in a engineering-related field.

Financial Aid is the types of financial assistance that students may be eligible for while earning their online engineering degrees. Scholarships and grants are commonly offered to students who meet the requirements, and there is always the option of getting federal student loans. This category is fairly important because most students trying to get their engineering degree online will require some sort of financial assistance. However almost all of the online schools reviewed offer multiple types of financial aid to their students, so this shouldn't be a huge focus when choosing the best online engineering program.
- Federal Student Loans - The school provides access to federal student loans.
- Grants - The school provides access to grants.
- Scholarships - The school provides access to scholarships.
Student Engagement looks at how engaged students are with the engineering curriculum and how many continue on to graduate from the online school. This is based in part off data from U.S. News & World Report, including the credentials and training of the faculty, the available student services, and how difficult it is to get into the school. First-year retention rates also provide valuable insight into how well the school engages its students, with a higher rate indicating a better program. This category will be fairly important when selecting where to earn an engineering degree online because it will have a significant impact on the overall quality of the education that students receive at the school.
