VIDEO: New Evolv Shaman Now In Stores!�110, added Jul/2011, see all Evolv news & reviews
announcement by Evolv
The Shaman incorporates several key design elements that work synergistically to perform at the highest level: The big toe �knuckle box� and �love bump� midsole keeps the big toe in a position of power to obtain maximum strength for edging and grabbing; the tensioned heel and arch rand eliminates dead space in the arch for secure heel hooks and transfers power to the toes; the multi pattern lining (leather forefoot liner for increased sensitivity and feel, cotton heel for non-stretch performance), give the best feel and function for demanding climbs.
You can watch Chris Sharma and Matt on the Shaman here:
Technical details:
- Profile: downturned asymmetric with "knuckle box"
- Upper: synthetic
- Lining: leather forefoot and foot bed, cotton heel
- Closure: three opposing velcro straps
- Sole: 2 piece 4.2mm Trax high friction rubber
- Rand: VTR 3D
- Midsole: MX-P 1.5mm half length "love bump" midsole
- Feature: high friction toe patch
Chris Sharma says, "I'm really excited about my new shoe, the Shaman. With all the new technical features that I incorporated into it, it feels like the perfect shoe and has a really powerful yet comfortable fit. It is by far the best shoe that I've ever used! It was so good to finally send 'First Round' the other day. It's definitely one of my hardest, if not my hardest route to date. I needed a lot of patience to finally nail the redpoint crux after falling over 50 times. Call it a coincidence, but I finally sent it using the new Shamans once I received them. Maybe that was the little extra something that I needed."

Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia is dedicated to the treatment and prevention of obstetric fistula, a devastating childbirth injury.
In rural Ethiopia, many women have little or no access to medical care during childbirth. If labour becomes obstructed, they can be left in agonising labour for days. They almost always lose their baby and many are left with a fistula, causing permanent incontinence. Pushed to the edge of society, these women are among the most marginalised in the world. At Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, women receive free surgery, counselling, physiotherapy and loving care.
Founded by Drs Catherine and Reg Hamlin in 1974, the organisation is now a healthcare network of 550 staff servicing six hospitals, a rehabilitation centre, and the Hamlin College of Midwives.
Over 45,000 women have received free treatment and the network operates purely on philanthropic donations.

Radio-show caller turns out to be a serial dialler
Cheng Shousan - the no-longer mysterious late-night caller to Allen Lee Peng-fei - found the perfect chance yesterday to show how common it is for him to call Hong Kong politicians when he got in touch with a pro-Beijing legislator - who just happened to be having lunch with 20 reporters.
When David Chu Yu-lin's pager beeped, the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance lawmaker showed reporters a message asking him to call Mr Cheng.
To everyone's surprise, Mr Chu picked up the phone and made a call. When he finished it, he said Mr Cheng had complained that the press was being too aggressive in calling him. He also said he felt relieved to be vindicated of accusations that he had pressured Mr Lee.
'I told him there were 20 journalists sitting in front of me and also told him the media's memory was very short in Hong Kong,' Mr Chu said.
'And I told him not to ask about my wife.'

Skip to comments.Tancredo Asks Obama to Pardon Border Agents
Posted on 11/10/2008 3:12:12 PM PST by BGHater
Lest President-elect Barack Obama forget that he will soon hear passionate calls on a wide range of issues, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) today called on the Democrat to pardon imprisoned border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compeana hot-button issue for immigration activists.
The agents' case has been a rallying cry for immigration hard-liners like Tancredo, but it has garnered attention from centrists and liberals as well Democrats Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Mass.), joined calls for an examination of the case.
Ramos and Compean are serving prison sentences for shooting a man near the Texas-Mexico border in 2005. They shot a man in the buttocks after he waved what appeared to be a gun at them, the agents said. Nearly 800 pounds of marijuana were found in the van he abandoned as he fled, according to news reports on the case.
Tancredo had this to say in a letter to Obama today:
President-elect Obama:
Congratulations on your electoral victory of last week; I hope that you do bring some needed changes to Washington. One such change that would bring hope to the men and women who protect Americas borders is granting a pardon to wrongly-imprisoned agents Ramos and Compean
These are the kind of men whose government failed and destroyed them all while they were serving a cause greater than themselves. These men deserve justice. I, and many other Members of Congress, have repeatedly called upon President Bush to exercise his power to pardon but he has not done so. You will also soon have that chance. You will also soon have the opportunity to show the nation that you will preside over the kind of government that truly is compassionate, as opposed to the rhetoric that Mr. Bush never fulfilled.
I respectfully urge you to use your power as President to take the immediate, appropriate and long overdue step of freeing them in your first two weeks in office, and see to it that agents Ramos and Compean spend Presidents Day at home with their families instead of sitting in solitary confinement in a federal prison because they had the temerity to do their job.
W. will pardong them just as he leaves office.
Wanna bet a steak dinner on that?
I just heard a drop of water fall into the ocean.
It sounded just like Tancredo's letter.
You may be right, about Bush pardoning them as he
leaves office, but I'm not holding my breath.
I wouldn't hold my breathe, Tom.
Bush only forgives his enemies, seemingly.
I think so, too. I'm not placing any bets on it, mind you, but I think he'll come through for those guys.
W nor Hussein will pardon them.
Don't put too much credence in FR bets.
I once bet a guy during the Gary Condit/Chondra Levy
death scandal that Condit would NEVER get re-elected, and this guy insisted that he would, and would in fact come out for all kinds of women-protection causes. He was willing to bet a $30 gift certificate at Outback Steakhouse.(His specific idea, not mine). When Condit didn't get re elected and vanished into obscurity, I reminded the guy of our bet. And reminded him, nicely. And reminded him. For three or four months I reminded him, and he kept assuring me he'd get to it. He never did. I will not reveal his name, but he knows who he is, as he's a pretty regular poster, and might even read this. If you win the bet, don't expect your dinner.
Tancredo must hold no hope that GWB would pardon them. If he were, why would he have not done so months ago?
Want to bet someone in the Bush Whitehouse forced the prosecution in order to send a message to the BP to be lax on enforcement?
I have been thinking it's about 3 chances in 5 that Dubya pardons them on the way out the door.
I wonder if Obama will reverse the GWB policy and allow Tancredo into the White House?
You're kidding right?
Obambi will probably have them caned, beaten, drawn and quartered and hung and shot on the "Black House" lawn on live TV. Then he'll have their families and cats and dogs killed too.
The new PC and "fair and balanced" peace, love and compassion is coming to a neighborhood near you soon. It's the new "hope and change".
"I'm not going to make that kind of promise in a forum like this," Bush said Thursday. "Obviously I am interested in facts. I know the prosecutor very well, Johnny Sutton. He's a dear friend of mine from Texas. He's a fair guy. He is an even-handed guy. And I can't imagine -- you've got a nice smile, but you can't entice me into making a public statement on something that requires a very -- I know this is an emotional issue, but people need to look at the facts."
"These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts as my friend, Johnny Sutton, presented them," Bush told the woman in Nashville. "But anyway, no, I won't make you that promise."
I called the White House Comment Line (1-202-456-1111) today and told the operator the president was ill-served by his quote dear friend Johnny Sutton, that the jurors were not told the truth, that they would not have voted to convict had they been told the truth, that the president should pardon Ramos and Compean before he leaves office.
Johnny Sutton knows what Aldrete-Davila does for a living--and sided with him against those who stand in the way of the free flow of drugs at market prices.
A call from the Mexican (drug cartel-controlled) government and the entire apparatus of the U.S. government falls into line to send the loyal law-abiding LEOs off to prison for eleven and twelve years respectively--
--while apologizing to the drug cartels and their pet Chihuahua in Mexico City.
"Dear friend"--how many of us have a dirty U.S. Attorney as a "dear friend"--
How's that War On Drugs thing working out--they're holding BLM officers hostage when they trespass on Mexican marijuana plantations in Nevada--
Must be that North American Marijuana Co-Prosperity Bong thing.
Oh yeah sure our presidente will pardon the agents.
Por seguro.
I can't imagine wasting the paper to ask Obama. La Raza wouldn't like it. But then I've been surprised a lot lately.
The past and future bastards will make them serve every day. Bastards.
This is reflecting bad on Jorge Boosh, esp if Obama pardons them.
The fact that these two men were convicted based on the fraudulent testimony of an illegal alien drug dealer is enough of a travesty....to let them sit in prison is even a bigger one
He better...this has been a bag of B.S. from the beginning. If he does not, I will NEVER have a kind word to say about the man.
Obama probably won't pardon Ramos and Compean, but he'll dismantle the Border Patrol or drastically reduce their budget.
That President Bush would allow these 2 men to rot in prison is just wrong and there can be no good reason why he has done this. It is one of the things that makes me no longer admire him as I did years ago. The other day I imagined how much worse agents Ramos and Compean must have felt when they heard that the socialist had taken The White House. The people who have done this evil deed to these good men are "bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling" (credit to Dr.Kelso on the quote).
We have already seen how much compassion W has for conservatives and border agents who don't look the other way.
Just as we now see how much honor John McCain has when it comes to defending his own running mate as opposed to defending Barack Obamassiah.
They are both hypocrites.
Neither one practices what they preach.
I don't know what is worse: the hypocrisy of Republican "leaders" or the idiocy of the American people.
I never admired him but tolerated him in 2000 and 2004. Never again, for all the good it does
Lettuce at the ready if Obama says no!
Actually, I bet Tancredo cc'd Bush with a copy of the letter. If W doesn't pardon them, O can and make political hay by doing it himself.
Pretty smart of Tancredo!

Implementation of a Delay Matrix
This paper is a follow-up to 'Distributed Sound Reinforcement for Multiple Talker Locations', presented at the AES 21st International Conference. That paper described a delay matrix used to help listeners localize several talker locations within a space. This paper will review that technique and describe its implementation in a recently completed project. Digital audio files will be presented allowing a subjective comparison between the simulated model and recordings made in the actual space.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Ligand Pharmaceuticals has entered into a licensing agreement and research collaboration with Omthera Pharmaceuticals, a wholly owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca, for the development of products to treat dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia.
As part of the agreement, Ligand will be eligible to receive payments of up to $44.5 million upon the achievement of specific milestones, as well as tiered royalties ranging from mid to high single digits of net sales.
The research collaboration will target the development of products that utilize the Ligand-developed LTP Technology™ to improve lipid-lowering activity of certain omega-3 fatty acids. Omthera is solely responsible for all research and clinical development costs as well as commercialization of any products derived from the collaboration.
According to Ligand, LTP Technology is a broadened prodrug technology platform designed to selectively deliver a range of active pharmaceutical agents to the liver. It works by chemically modifying a biologically active molecule into an inactive prodrug form that will be administered and later activated in the liver by certain enzymes.
The technology can be used to improve activity and/or safety of an existing drug or to develop new agents to treat liver diseases or diseases caused by homeostasis imbalance of circulating biomolecules controlled by the liver such as lipids and glucose, and is especially applicable to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, the company said.

As a "special consultant". You know who else is a "special consultant" to the Red Wings. Chelios and Lidstrom. It would be a stretch to attribute the team's successes or failures to "special consultants".
You're reaching dude.

So I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here, say that he should be replaced with someone better? There isn't anyone. Demonstrably so. Or are you saying that he's really not that good, and that his underlings did all the work? Which would be silly, because the team was arguably MORE successful when he was the underling.

Welcome to Housing and Residence Life
Housing and Residence Life provides a student-centered community that supports the academic mission of the university. We promote student success, encourage engagement with the university community, and promote our appreciation for diversity among our residents. Mason provides a variety of safe and comfortable living options where our students will feel welcome and at home.
Mason has grown to become the second largest residential campus in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As the demand for housing has grown so have the options available to undergraduate students. The majority of Mason freshmen will be required to live on campus in our modern residential halls that include traditional buildings with single, double, triple, and quad rooms, as well as suite-style options.
Remember, housing is guaranteed for freshmen who complete the housing application and submit the $300 housing deposit. We continue to receive Housing applications and will review them on an ongoing basis. After May 1, housing is based on space availability. Learn more about our residence halls, and apply for housing, by using the links below. Make Mason your home, and join our growing community!
Want more information about YOUR PATRIOT EXPERIENCE? Check out the link: http://patriotexperience.gmu.edu/
Because the demand for housing has grown, so have the options available to undergraduate students.
All freshmen will choose to live in one of five different and distinct living options that will incorporate the Patriot Experience Programming Model. The five options are Patriot Experience Traditional Style, Patriot Experience Suite Style, Mason Global Center 11-month agreement, o Living Learning Community (LLC), and the Honors Living and Learning Community.
Note: All residence halls are co-ed.
Patriot Experience Traditional-Style Halls
Our traditional halls have floors with 26 to 40 residents in double, triple, or quad rooms.
Residents share common bathrooms, which are cleaned daily by housekeeping staff. Traditional halls include Presidents Park and The Commons.
Patriot Experience Suite Style Halls
Some freshman residents will live in one of our suite style buildings where two to four double or single occupancy rooms share a bathroom.
These buildings have shared lounges, vending machines, and laundry facilities. Suite-style halls where freshmen may live include Commonwealth, Dominion, Eastern Shore, and Piedmont.
Living Learning Communities
Visit our LLC page to find out more about this option, available to freshmen and upper-classmen. The LLC application is due on May 8, so be sure to apply early.
- Submit your housing application and LLC application (except Honors Living Learning Community).
- Pay your housing deposit
For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Honors Living and Learning Community
Honors College freshmen are automatically placed into the Honors Living and Learning Community housed in traditional style, all-freshmen buildings. No additional application is required.
The campus residences are equipped with a variety of amenities and services.
Residences are located near athletics facilities, dining options, and other student-centered campus spaces. Amenities and services include:
• 24-hour service desks and night operations staff
• cable TV
• wireless internet
• housekeeping and maintenance in common areas
• laundry rooms
• social and relaxation lounges and
• study spaces, among others.
Housing and Residence Life staff members serve as liaisons between students, faculty, and administrators, and offer referrals to campus support services.
Resident Advisors (RAs) are student staff members who live in the halls and serve as the main contact for information on all aspects of residence life. RAs coordinate activities and programs for students and assist in the management of their residential area. RAs are valuable resources who are often the first people residents and their families meet!
Resident Directors (RDs) are full-time professional staff members who live on campus and supervise RAs. They create an environment that is conducive to studying, learning, and personal growth by managing the implementation of educational and social programming, interpreting policies and procedures, acting as liaisons to other campus departments, and addressing student behavioral issues and concerns.
Desk Assistants (DAs) are student staff who work at one of our three 24-hour service desks. Desk Assistants can help you when you're locked out of your room, when you want to check out equipment (vacuums, etc.), or when you have general questions about campus.
Housing is guaranteed for freshmen (new to Mason for Fall 2016) who complete the housing application and submit the non-refundable $300 housing deposit by May 1, 2016.
- Pay your $550 deposit by May 1 ($250 enrollment deposit and $300 housing deposit).
- Complete a housing application by May 1. Print a copy of the confirmation email for your records.
- Applying for an LLC? Priority consideration is given to students who complete the separate LLC application by May 1.
- Your application and deposit must be submitted on or before May 1, 2016.
- It is possible that the number of applicants will exceed the supply of available rooms. When this occurs, students who are guaranteed housing are accommodated in a variety of ways, including expanded occupancy rooms and local hotels. In addition, students who reside close to campus may be asked to live at home until a space becomes available in the residence halls. Since we assign students in the order that online applications are received, later applicants are typically the most affected.
You will have the opportunity to indicate several preferences on your housing application, including building preferences, the name(s) of preferred roommates, and your interest in an LLC.
Living Learning Communities
Housing and Residence Life works with university academic departments to develop these residential floors that expand learning beyond the classroom. Students who participate in LLCs live on the same floor and generally attend at least one class together.
Students interested in an LLC should respond accordingly to the question about LLC interest on the housing application. LLCs other than Honors must also complete an LLC application, in addition to the housing application. Honors students do not have to complete the additional LLC application.
Please note that participation in an LLC supersedes your building and possibly roommate preferences – while we will try to meet room size and roommate preferences within your LLC, it is not always possible to do so.
If you are interested in an LLC that is housed in Piedmont you will not be able to list those buildings within your room preferences. Don't worry - if you get into one of those LLCs, your LLC coordinator will know and ensure you are placed appropriately. If you are not accepted to an LLC in Piedmont the room preferences you list here will be used to place you in your space. It is important that you list at least five preferences, even if you plan to be in an LLC.
Single Rooms
You will be able to select into a double, triple, or quad. It is unusual for freshmen to be assigned to single rooms. Special Accommodations can be made for documented psychological or medical issues.
Students who have specific housing requirements that are due to documented psychological or medical issues must register with the Disability Services and complete the Special Housing Request form. The Disability Services and Housing work together to find reasonable accommodations for applicants with genuine needs. For special consideration, please provide the requested information early in the application process because it is difficult to make changes or meet needs once assignments have been made. If you feel you have a medical or psychological need for special accommodations, complete your housing application as soon as possible and submit a request for Special Accommodations.
Housing rates are based on whether the student is in a single, double, triple, or quad bedroom in a traditional hall, suite, or apartment. Students are encouraged to review the rates before submitting their housing preferences. More information is available on our Rates and Billing page.
Username: Your G Number, formatted G12345678
Password: Your birth date, formatted MMDDYYYYYou will be brought to a page that says "Welcome to eLiving" – on the left there should be a section called "Available Applications." Click the link for "Housing Applications."
Once you have completed your application, you may return to this page to update your application as frequently as you like before May 1.
Freshmen student who apply for the Patriot Experience Traditional or Suite Style will select their room in an online lottery process, much like you would select a seat on an airline flight. This process will open in June 2016. Students in Honors, Living Learning Communities, and Mason Global Center (11-month agreement) will not go through this process (see Living Learning Community and Single Room Process)
Self-selection allows students to choose and confirm a housing assignment without the uncertainty that often comes with traditional auto-allocation assignment methods. Students will have the opportunity to choose a room along with a desired roommate, if applicable. More information on self-selection process will be available in late spring 2016.
Freshmen Residential Communities
George Mason University is committed to providing all students with a comprehensive and dynamic educational experience. Living on-campus provides numerous educational and social opportunities designed to enhance students' academic success, well-being and overall engagement with everything the university has to offer.
First-year freshman undergraduate students enrolled full-time, as defined by George Mason University guidelines, are required to live in campus residence halls. First year students beginning their enrollment in the summer are required to live in the residence halls during the summer, fall and spring semesters. Students who start in fall are required to live in the residence halls during the fall and spring semesters. Students who start in spring are required to live in the residence halls during the spring semester.
Students who can provide evidence they meet any of the following criteria will be exempt from the requirement to live on campus:

- May 1 for summer term first enrollment
- May 15 for fall semester first enrollment
- November 1 for spring semester first enrollment
Students who fail to comply with this policy are subject to sanctions by the university. Sanctions may include a hold being placed on the student's ability to register for classes and/or disciplinary action. Examples of failure to comply include:
- provision of false or misleading information to obtain an exemption
- failure to apply and register for housing
- failure to check-in and assume occupancy of assigned housing
- failure to fulfill the terms and conditions of the housing agreement, including receiving a judicial sanction that results in removal from university housing

Drying Out
Many regions across the U.S. are experiencing drought conditions, and in the past few years Texas has been especially hard hit. Water Quality Products Managing Editor Kate Cline spoke with Bob Boerner, president of Culligan Southwest Inc., to find out how the drought is affecting water quality in the state.
Kate Cline: What is the status of the drought in Texas? What is the outlook?
Assessing Quantity & Quality
Groundwater provides a valuable source of drinking water for millions of people across the U.S. But as new contaminants are discovered and droughts continue to worsen, resulting in depleted aquifers, it is increasingly important to monitor the quantity and quality of available groundwater. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently updated Water Quality Products on the status of groundwater quality in the U.S.
What is the role of the USGS in surveying and monitoring groundwater quality and availability in the U.S.?
U.S. groundwater faces increasing contamination & overuse
Contamination Considerations
The source for drinking water is an important consideration when determining which water quality tests to run. Groundwater sources, especially private wells that are not tested on a regular basis, are susceptible to various naturally occurring and manmade contaminants.
Well Depth
The depth of a well is an important factor when determining which contaminants are present in groundwater sources. Shallow wells are more vulnerable to surface contaminants, such as gasoline from a spill, because the contaminant has less distance to travel.
Evaluating factors for testing groundwater quality
Knowledge is Power
"Ignorance is bliss," or so the old adage goes—but unfortunately, when it comes to water, ignorance can be dangerous. According to a survey conducted by the Nature Conservancy, 77% of Americans who do not use private water wells do not know where their drinking water comes from.
EPA Puts Water Utility on Notice for Drinking Water System Deficiencies
Inspection reveals excessive level of chemicals in utility's drinking water supply systems
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a letter and inspection report to the Guam Waterworks Authority (GWA) identifying numerous deficiencies in the utility's drinking water supply systems uncovered in a May 2012 inspection and sanitary survey.
New Program for Well Water Testing in Drought-Affected Areas
Clean Water Systems & Stores Inc. now offers support for water well owners
Clean Water Systems & Stores Inc. has expanded its Water Quality Assurance Program to include support for water well owners who need to optimize their water treatment systems during the current drought. The drought has caused water shortages and some water tables to drop in affected areas and decreased water quality. The program provides tests water before and after existing treatment systems and includes recommendations on how to optimize water treatment systems to reduce water waste.
Candidates Seek National Ground Water Assn. Board of Directors Spots
Three candidates seeking two spots on the NGWA board of directors
Three candidates are seeking two spots on the National Ground Water Assn. (NGWA) board of directors, with the vote scheduled for Dec. 6 during the 2012 NGWA Groundwater Expo and Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.
The candidates are:
USGS Field Scientists Publish Flooding and Drought Alerts
ProjectAlert notifications describe real-time flood, drought or water quality conditions across the country
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has released ProjectAlert, which allows users to keep up with USGS scientists as they respond to floods, droughts and chemical spills. These alerts are official, yet informal notices that describe flood, drought or water quality conditions across the country, as well as how USGS field crews are responding to the events.
ProjectAlert notifications are published in real time by a USGS field scientist and let you know when the scientist is:
Reports on Groundwater Quality Sampling Near Pavillion, Wyo., Released
The USGS releases reports describing plan to collect groundwater data and providing information from groundwater quality samples
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is making available two reports related to groundwater quality and quality control, and well yield data for two monitoring wells near Pavillion, Wyo. The first USGS report describes the sampling and analysis plan that was developed to collect groundwater data. A second report provides the raw data and information from the groundwater quality samples.
Test Kits
The Watersafe test kit provides a quick, accurate and affordable way to test drinking water quality. These user-friendly kits test for 10 parameters: bacteria, pesticides, lead, nitrates, nitrites, pH, chlorine, iron, copper and hardness. They provide immediate results, and require no power, incubation, sample preparation or special storage.

text: Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son DeadNeetzan Zimmerman11/07/13 11:51amFiled to: TragedyDeath by Cop3.5K82EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink A father's attempt to teach his son a lesson for taking his truck without permission ended in tragedy Monday after a local police officer shot the teenager dead.James Comstock told the Des Moines Register he called the police on his son Tyler after the latter took the former's truck in retaliation for refusing to buy him cigarettes. Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson reportedly spotted the lawn care company vehicle and pursued it onto the Iowa State University campus, where a brief standoff ensued after Tyler allegedly refused orders to turn off the engine. Advertisement McPherson eventually fired six shots into the truck, two of which struck Tyler who was later pronounced dead. The official report claims the action was necessary in order "to stop the ongoing threat to the public and the officers." Sponsored Tyler's dad says he was unarmed at the time. "So he didn't shut the damn truck off, so let's fire six rounds at him?" exclaimed Gary Shepley, Tyler's step-grandfather. "We're confused, and we don't understand." James said his son had his fair share of minor troubles with the law, and was distraught over a recent breakup with his girlfriend, but was in the process of turning his life around, and was working on obtaining his GED at Des Moines Area Community College. "He was a smart kid. He made his own computers. He was interested in IT," James told the Register. Advertisement The family's demands for answers got even louder following the revelation that a member of the Ames police department suggested twice that officers call off the chase. "He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him," James said. ""It was over a damn pack of cigarettes." McPherson is currently on paid leave pending the results of his department's investigation. [screengrab via KCRG, photo via Facebook]Reply3466 repliesLeave a reply

Former title winners Gremio drew 1-1 away to the Chilean champions to advance from Group Eight with fellow Brazilian side Fluminense, 1-0 winners at home to Caracas FC.
Brazilian champions Flu finished top of the group with 11 points, three more than Gremio and Huachipato, who were separated by goal difference.
TV replays showed former Real Madrid and Brazil coach Luxemburgo laughing at his opposite number Jorge Pellicier as he ran towards the tunnel after the final whistle, then falling over as Huachipato players appeared to attack him.
This was followed by mayhem on the edge of the pitch and at the entrance to the tunnel as players, coaching staff and invading Huachipato fans became embroiled in a brawl with Chilean police frantically trying to put a stop to it.
"I didn't say anything or provoke (anyone). I saw they were looking to fight so I ran off," Luxemburgo said.
Pellicier, however, disputed that version of events when quoted by the Chilean daily El Mercurio's website: "He tried to make fun of us... That's unsporting conduct. He said we should go on holiday, making a gesture with his hand."
It was a sorry end to a good match in which Gremio, champions in 1983 and 1995, went ahead when Ze Roberto opened the scoring with an overhead kick.
Huachipato defender Miguel Aceval equalised with a curling left footed free kick past Gremio's former AC Milan and Brazil goalkeeper Dida one minute from time in a dramatic finish.
Fluminense, who scored through former Brazil striker Rafael Sobis, qualified for a last-16 clash with Emelec of Ecuador while Gremio will meet Colombia's Independiente Santa Fe.
With six Brazilian sides in the last 16, holders Corinthians face six times South American champions Boca Juniors of Argentina in the pick of first knockout round ties.
In a tight Group Eight, modest Argentine side Tigre upset Libertad of Paraguay 5-3 in Asuncion to snatch the second qualifying berth behind former champions Palmeiras of Brazil.
Palmeiras, who lost 1-0 to Sporting Cristal of Peru in Lima, and Tigre both finished with nine points, separated by a goal difference of one. Libertad and Cristal ended up with eight points.
"The truth is that last (Libertad) goal was incredible, we were 30 seconds from finishing top (of the group)," said Matias Perez Garcia, who scored twice for Tigre.
"Never mind, we got what we came for. Tigre are alive after we'd been left for dead. We showed character," added the striker, whose side had gone into the match in third place.
Tigre earned a clash with another Paraguayan side, three times champions Olimpia, while Palmeiras, relegated to Brazil's second division, meet Mexico's Tijuana.

We decompose quantitative management earnings forecasts into macroeconomic and firm-specific components to determine the extent to which voluntary disclosure provided by management has macroeconomic information content. We provide evidence that the forecasts of bellwether firms, which are defined as firms in which macroeconomic news explains the greatest amount of variation in the forecasts, provide timely information to the market about the macroeconomy when bundled with earnings announcements. Further, we show that bellwether firms provide timely information about both industry-specific events and broader economic events. Finally, we document that the macroeconomic news in individual forecasts is more pronounced for bad news and point forecasts.

The Attention Network Test (ANT) assesses alerting, orienting, and executive attention. The current study was designed to achieve three main objectives. First, we determined the reliability, effects, and interactions of attention networks in a relatively large cohort of non-demented older adults (n = 184). Second, in the context of this aged cohort, we examined the effect of chronological age on attention networks. Third, the effect of blood pressure on ANT performance was evaluated. Results revealed high-reliability for the ANT as a whole, and for specific cue and flanker types. We found significant main effects for the three attention networks as well as diminished alerting but enhanced orienting effects during conflict resolution trials. Furthermore, increased chronological age and low blood pressure were both associated with significantly worse performance on the executive attention network. These findings are consistent with executive function decline in older adults and the plausible effect of reduced blood flow to the frontal lobes on individual differences in attention demanding tasks.
