Police focused on Josh Powell's odd behavior from the beginning, new documents show
Redacted reports reveal little new info in Susan Powell case
According to statements made by Josh Powell, he left between midnight and 12:30 a.m. that night to take his sons — who were 2 and 4 years old at the time — camping in Tooele County, about a two-hour drive from his house. It means he wouldn't have arrived until about 2:30 a.m. Temperatures were below freezing, and a snowstorm was in the forecast. He told police he wanted to try out his new generator.
Susan was reported missing the next morning when she failed to show up for work and her sons were not dropped off at day care.
The next cellphone contact anyone had with Josh Powell was about 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7, 2009.
The release of court documents Tuesday was part of an ongoing legal battle against West Valley police and the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office. Despite documents being released in recent months by the Pierce County, Wash., Sheriff's Office and the Washington Department of Health Services, West Valley police had been reluctant to release any court filings concerning their investigation, keeping their documents sealed despite continued efforts by the parents of Susan Powell, their attorney and the Salt Lake Tribune to have them released.
West Valley Police Sgt. Mike Powell said Tuesday his department did not oppose the release of search warrants, as long as it wasn't a "haphazard" release and done at the appropriate time.
"We don't have anything against police documents being released," he said. "It is a part of the process, information does get released. We're not opposed when it's an appropriate time and place."
Sgt. Powell also noted that his department still has an "active investigation" into Susan Powell's disappearance. That's why certain information was redacted, he said.
"(The information is) pertinent to a current and ongoing investigation. It contains information that now is not an appropriate time or place for it to be released. Anything that may create a conflict or interfere in that investigation is something we're not willing to do."
Asked what's left in the investigation to do, the sergeant noted that Susan Powell is still missing.
"That's a big piece of the puzzle that's not resolved," said Mike Powell, who is not related to Susan Powell.
Attorney Anne Bremner, who represents Susan Powell's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, said the release of documents Tuesday was a good start, but still not enough.
"We want it all," she said. "Until we have it all, we won't quit our efforts."
West Valley had originally rejected Bremner's request for the city's police records regarding the Powell investigation. She appealed and was rejected again, and subsequently filed another appeal.
Bremner is now scheduled to appear before the West Valley City Council on Aug. 21 to argue in person why she and the Cox family believe the rest of the court papers that were redacted should also be released.
Chuck Cox said he believes arresting Josh Powell was the best chance police had to get him to come clean about what happened to his wife.
"I really felt the only way he was going to say anything, to reveal anything, was once he was under arrest and facing the consequences of whatever he did to my daughter," he said. "I thought it was a mistake to let him go, and let him go, and let him go, thinking his conscience was going to bother him sometime."
Cox also said he believes arresting his son-in-law in the weeks following Susan's disappearance would have saved the lives of his grandsons.
"If they had arrested him, we would have the children much earlier — within the first week or two weeks," he said. "There were so many things they knew. To us, they should have arrested him. Certainly, if he had been in jail, he wouldn't have been able to kill our grandchildren."
With each search warrant affidavit filed, West Valley police added more details about their case. The most recent search warrants contain the most redactions.

* SPDR Gold Trust holdings hit record high for second day * CME says Wednesday's crash not a result of "fat finger" * Spot gold could retrace to $1,692/oz - technicals * Coming up: U.S. GDP, Q3; 1330 GMT (Adds details, graphics; updates prices) By Rujun Shen SINGAPORE, Nov 29 Gold steadied on Thursday to trade in a narrow range, after suffering its biggest daily decline in nearly four weeks in the previous session, as investors nervously eyed a looming deadline for averting a U.S. fiscal crisis. While gold has been unable to break a heavy resistance at $1,750 an ounce over the past week and briefly plunged to as low as $1,705.64 an ounce on Wednesday, general bullish sentiment for bullion remained intact as indicated by a rise in gold-backed exchange traded funds to a record high. And the threat of the U.S. economy slipping off the "fiscal cliff" may support the precious metal further, although the strength in the dollar - a more popular safe haven - may take some of gold's lustre off. U.S. lawmakers are engaged in talks to avert $600 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts, or the so-called "fiscal cliff" due to start in the new year that threatens to push the economy back to recession. House Speaker John Boehner voiced optimism that Republicans could broker a pact with the White House to avoid the fiscal cliff on Wednesday. "Generally people are still pretty bullish on gold and last night was just a one-off correction, nothing extraordinary," said a Singapore-based trader, adding that $1,650-$1,700 would be a good buying level. But he said Asian physical demand was disappointing. "We aren't seeing much physical demand, which is quite bad for this time of the year," he said. Spot gold was nearly flat at $1,719.60 an ounce by 0722 GMT, after tumbling 1.3 percent in the previous session due to a heavy bout of stop-loss selling. U.S. gold inched up 0.2 percent to $1,719.70, after dropping 1.5 percent on Wednesday. Technical analysis suggested spot gold could retrace to $1,692 an ounce during the day, said Reuters market analyst Wang Tao. CME SAYS NO "FAT FINGER" The CME Group, which operates the U.S. COMEX gold futures market, said Wednesday's plunge in gold was not the consequence of a "fat finger", or a human error. "It was not a 'fat finger'. The market sold off. No stop logic triggered either, which meant the price decline wasn't even fast enough to trigger a pause on Globex," said a spokesman for CME, referring to the group's electronic trading platform. Holdings of the SPDR Gold Trust, the world's biggest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, hit a record high for a second consecutive day, underlying buoyant investment interest. Its holdings stood at 1,347.018 tonnes on Nov. 28, up nearly 11 tonnes so far this month, on course for its fourth month of straight gains, even though gold prices barely budged compared to the end of last month. Spot silver lost 0.4 percent to $33.59, and the gold-silver ratio stood at 51.2, hovering above a two-month low. Spot platinum was up 0.1 percent to $1,605.25, and the spread between gold and platinum dropped to a more than one-month low of $114.

The Godfather Trailer
Description: "The Godfather," Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered eleven Academy Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture in 1972. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest American films ever made.

Liverpool Message Board
Michael Owen or Peter Crouch
Michael Owen or Peter Crouch, which would you have bought?
I dont care if peter crouch is at liverpool and not scoring goals. liverpool wasted £7 million pounds on him and could have saved that and maybe bought back michael owen. crouch has been at liverpool for some time now and done what exactly? michael comes back from spain and scores in his first match. now do you buy a striker to score goals which is what he is meant to do or do you buy a striker to be.....more of a hindrense player. How many goals has peter crouch score =0
how many goals has michael owen scored......ooooo lets see quite a few. draw your own conclusions people but i buy a striker to do his job and put that bloody ball in the net. I would have prefered to keep baros who has some pace oh and has scored goals for villa strange that. £7 million wasted. hey rafa please buy a couple of well known decent players.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Can I be honest guys. I am not even a liverpool supporter. but if there is one team that i really like in the premiership its liverpool . for years now they have underachieved apart from 2001 when they won 5 cups. Its just that i would have liked to have seen if liverpool could have been BETTER if they bought Michael. Its neither hear and there anyhow. Crouch is in the team and thats it. I want to see Liverpool kicking ass. Maybe its just frustartion!!

I don't think Owen and Crouch should be exclusive. They can partner very well, together with Rooney for England. It would be great if both of them play for Liverpool.
Remember Crouch was in Liverpool to replace Baros, not Owen. On that note, I would prefer to have sold Nando but to retain Baros.
A Yahoo! User Nov 23, 2005 21:42 Flag
For £7 million? Owen
For a world-class striker? Owen
For a team player? Crouch
To win the Carling Cup? Owen
To win the FA Cup? Crouch
To win the European's Super cup? Crouch
To win the World Club Championships? Crouch
To win the Premiership? Crouch
To defend the Champion's League? Crouch
Why bother asking a question if you are going to answer it yourself?
The bottom line is Liverpool are playing better this season with Crouch in the team than last season when he was not. And as long as the team is winning and Crouch is contributing to the success, he can go 50 games without a goal for all l care. The difference between Owen and Crouch is that Crouch is mainly a provider and owen is a finisher. And in order for Owen to finish he needs a provider like Crouch, which is exactly what Crouch is doing for Liverpool.
Football is not all about pace, if that was the case all teams would be buying the likes of Linford Christie, Maurice Green etc. Its about talent, brains and skill and if you are lucky enough to possess speed as well, its an added bonus. Did the likes of Ian Rush, John Barnes have great speed? But this never hindered them from being Liverpool legends.
Well if you love Owen so much, you know which team he plays for now and l hear they are looking for more supporters. There they worship their strikers like gods and yet have nothing to show for it. Go Crouch.

Now, now ladies clam down please. Carlton mate, in all fairness this Owen/Crouch is getting well frankly tired man. Yes Crouch isn't scoring but like Ncubemelusi is saying we're playing good football. I mean why dont I see people on these boards praising our achievements, like WOW! Cisse and Nando scored again. Great come back from Bolo on that rebound. Nice work in creating Nando's goal there Crouch. You sound almost as bad as the other teams' fans man.
As supporters that's how we need to do it. We acknowledge when things ain't going too well, but always and forever support our boys.

text: DjDanny D Daniel Dyer London LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR, CONTINUE YOUR AUDIO INDULGENCE @ http://www.mixcloud.com/djdannyd3/ Getting involved in DJ'ing when he was 18, Danny or Demon D as he was known then, knew entertaining crowds was his calling. Growing up in Birmingham on a healthy diet of 90's Hip Hop, POP, Breaks, R&B, Jungle, House & Garage, Danny developed an eclectic taste for music. With early influences ranging from Wu Tang Clan & ONYX to DJ Spoony and the Dream Team, Danny felt blessed to be part of a great age of music and even more privileged to be there at the birth of House and Garage as we know it. With the rapid emergence of H&G in London, Birmingham was playing 'catch up', with bars and clubs still heavily focussed towards more mainstream Dance music. Danny saw this as an opportunity and with a group of friends formed the group 'The Graveyard Shift', a group of talented DJ's and MC's determined to spread their infectious sound. After playing numerous private parties Danny got his break in 2000 playing a 2 hr H&G set at the iconic Custard Factory for a Millennium party. This was the springboard that would take him into a world of music and entertainment. He then went on to play a further 4 nights at the equally iconic Institute developing his unique bouncy, bumping sound further. In early 2000 he knew that in order to take his DJ career to the next level, he had to move to the DJ heartland, London. Pursuing his dream was difficult in London as any Londoner knows, and there was a period where 'life' had to take priority. But Danny still managed to slowly build his profile, playing pubs, bars and small nightclubs. In 2005 Danny began working with a collective of Rappers/MC's just emerging onto the London scene called the 'WolfPack' and was privileged to soon be considered their exclusive DJ. It was at this point he began to see that his skills also extended to production. With a solid IT background and a love of music, he soon also became 1 of the 2 exclusive producers on all WolfPack material. Managing to bridge a gap between House, Hip Hop & R&B, WolfPack truly could entertain the masses and did so with some amazing partnerships with promoters of clubs such as Planet Hollywood, Funky Budha, Sound, Mayfair & Sugar Hut. Fast forward to 2012, Danny has now broadened his music offering combining elements of Electro & Vocal/Commercial House with refreshing Hip Hop and R&B nuances to create his unique sound that gets crowds rocking. Now taking influences and inspiration form talented Artists and DJ's like Annie Mac, Swedish House Mafia, Wideboys & Calvin Harris.

The active widgets on "Sidebars" are very important, and it's counter-intuitive to have them hidden away in a small area on the right side of the screen.
The page is quite confusing, maybe even daunting for first-timers coming to the Widgets Page.
Is there anything that can be done to improve this page?

In my last column I wrote about the founding of Vandalia as capital of Illinois, and the construction and destruction of the first capitol building.
As daylight dawned on Dec. 23 and all of Vandalia's residents discovered that the capitol building had burned to the ground in the middle of the night, a subscription list to rebuild was started and $3,000 was raised within six days.

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Lisa Miller's path from lesbian in committed relationship to international fugitive started in 2003.
She broke up with her partner, Janet Jenkins, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical Christian before disappearing in 2009 with the daughter she had with Jenkins.
Now, what started as a custody battle over little Isabella Miller-Jenkins has turned into a global manhunt, with indications that Mennonite pastors and other faith-based supporters may have helped hide the two in Nicaragua and are now coming to the aid of one who the FBI says helped Miller.
Eager to keep the girl away from Jenkins and what they consider a dangerous and immoral lifestyle, they liken their roles to that of underground helpers aiding runaway slaves.
"God's Holy Law never recognizes a gay marriage," said Pablo Yoder, a Mennonite pastor in Nicaragua, in an email message to The Associated Press. "Thus, the Nicaraguan Brotherhood felt it right and good to help Lisa not only free herself from the so called civil marriage and lesbian lifestyle, but especially to protect her nine year old daughter from being abducted and handed over to an active lesbian and a whole-hearted activist."
As the gay marriage movement gains momentum in the U.S. with impending legal recognition of the relationships in New York state, the case is a reminder of the obstacles and opposition that same-sex couples and their families can face.
The saga began in 2000, when Miller and Jenkins were joined in a civil union in Vermont. Two years later, Miller gave birth to the girl, through artificial insemination. The couple split in 2003, with Miller renouncing her homosexuality and becoming a Baptist, then a Mennonite.
Miller was originally granted custody of the girl, but her defiance of visitation schedules led courts in Vermont and Virginia to rule in favor of Jenkins, culminating in a judge's 2009 decision to award custody to Jenkins.
After Miller and the girl failed to show for a court-ordered custody swap on Jan. 1, 2010, to hand the girl over to Jenkins, the hunt was on. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Miller, and her daughter's name was added to the missing by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
But they were long gone: In 2009, two months before the judge ordered the custody change, Miller and the girl flew to Central America and took up residence for an unknown amount of time in Nicaragua before vanishing again.
So says the FBI, which revealed in April that it had arrested Nicaraguan missionary Timothy David "Timo" Miller and charged him with abetting an international kidnapping by helping arrange travel and lodging for the two. He is awaiting trial.
According to the FBI, Timo Miller — no relation to Lisa Miller — arranged to fly Miller and her daughter from Canada to Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua.
He'd never met her until they arrived at the airport, according to Loyal Martin, a friend of Timo Miller's.
Timo Miller has pleaded not guilty and is free on $25,000 bail, awaiting trial. His attorney, federal public defender Steven Barth, won't discuss the case. Another lawyer for Timo Miller, Jeffrey Conrad, of Lancaster, Pa., didn't respond to a request for comment.
"Tim believes there is a higher law than the laws of any country that all people, including himself, are accountable to," said Martin, 40, of Philadelphia, N.Y., who attended Miller's first court appearance.
In an April 1 affidavit outlining the charge against Timo Miller, FBI agent Dana Kaegel noted the involvement of various religious groups and people involved — in some fashion — with Miller.

If you are looking for "Ronaldo" look no further
because he is right there on the Inter Milan team only his name is G.Silva. He is also on the Brazilian team under the name Calcio
When the team you are playing scores a goal against you, press B rapidly during the video and the crowd will "boo" the other team.
To get the MLS teams you must win the league in every country's league and
the world league. Then go to the U.S. league and beat it on the hardest
difficulty. Then go back to the team select and all MLS teams will be under
the U.S.
To play as Attlanta attacks win the cup with Brazil on pro mode
Pick Canada as your team and go to player edit. Put "Joe" as the 1st
player's name. Then when you play a friendly game, all the guys will be
huge and they will be wierd colors (orange,pink,green, ect.)

Lokken does it again.
I tell you, I do not believe I have ever watched a bad flash with your name attached to it. I laughed my nuts off, especially when he walked away leaving shit on the toilet bowl. Bastard did not even wipe or wash his hands. I am not going to tell you to keep up the good work as you do regardless.
Thought it was quiet funny and can kind of relate to the bad situation thing....
Ke Ke Ke
good job with that man it was pretty funny
Two friends discuss relationship woes between eachother, and just so happen to be bathroom essentials - in another inventive comedy from the mind of Jeremy Lokken. We get the treat of some heavily obscure humor in the vain of fecal humor and sweet sweet revenge. I am a big fan of your work, and this does not really dissapoint. It is slow in some moments, for obvious reasons for comedy and quite fast paced in the ending. My personal favorite part was the dramatic music during the "unclogging" scene - it just cracked me up and the enivatable flushing just had me in stitches. The artwork was a little rigid and felt like it could use some touching up - but otherwise it was fine. A good character design for the main character, but the stars of course were the plunger and toilet. As I said before, great use of music and it really helped set the pass for movie. Good looking play button and replay button.
Thanks for the review! That dramatic music really helps, without it, it might seem much more flat. Glad you liked that part.
Hey, I thought that was great hahahah! keep up the good stuff man.
Too all you jerks out there you insult everyones work i like to see you do better! You guys probably dont even know how to make a flash JERKS!!!

I have a WordPress website - http://www.boss-pedals.co.uk - that sells products via Amazon. I currently list products on the homepage via a WordPress plugin that I paid for called Phpzon.
Because the Amazon affiliate program has such a rubbish cookie length (24 hours) I was thinking about switching to use a different affiliate (someone like gear4music.com). They have a page listing a bunch of products that I could sell (gear4music.com/Guitar_--_Bass_Effects/Boss.html) but what would be the best way of pulling all this info into my site as the plugin currently does on my homepage. I really don't want to manually code a table or anything as this would be a major pain and the links would go out of date.
In the same way I would also want to add 'category specific' blocks to pages such as this one - http://www.boss-pedals.co.uk/boss-delay-pedals and product specific blocks to pages such as this one - http://www.boss-pedals.co.uk/boss-dd-3-delay
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Baz

Here are this week's Class AAAA football and volleyball coaches polls. The polls are conducted by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association.
Football, Class 4A

2. Belen (4) 165 2
3. Aztec (1) 157 3
Elementary school run scheduled for Oct. 22
The Los Alamos Hilltopper cross country programs will host its annual elementary school mile run Oct. 22.
The mile run is held in conjunction with the Los Alamos Invitational cross country meet. The meet will start at 3 p.m. Oct. 22 at Los Alamos Golf Course.
The race is free and open to any elementary-aged student.
Entry forms are available at all Los Alamos elementary schools or at the Los Alamos Family Y.
A fault in an underground power line near the Community Building resulted in 4,150 utility customers to losing electricity Wednesday morning.
If looking at a big project or a study and having a policy that sets goals to work within is beneficial, it is also something Los Alamos County has lacked. Tonight, during the transportation board meeting, work will be done to reverse that situation.
The board will meet from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Pajarito Cliff Site Building 1 conference room to hammer out a resolution to establish a policy for design of streets and right-of-ways in Los Alamos County. The resolution willl then go to county council on Nov. 9 for consideration.
Nuclear weapons expert Joseph C. Martz will present an overview titled "Nuclear Weapons, Past, Present, and Future" at an open meeting of the Los Alamos Committee on Arms Control and International Security at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday in Graves Hall at the United Church, 2525 Canyon Road.
The talk will review U.S. nuclear weapons development and its close linkage to deterrence during the Cold War.
The story, "Fuller Lodge gets a new roof" published Tuesday had some misinformation. The last time Fuller Lodge got a new roof was 10 years ago and the total cost for the project is $292,435. It should also be noted that the historical archives are located in Fuller Lodge but the county's records are temporarily located at Pajarito Cliffs.
Applications being accepted
Los Alamos County is currently accepting applications for the
following Boards or Commissions:
A new shape note singing group will meet on a monthly basis, beginning today. Shape note singing is for all ages and abilities, regardless of previous singing experience. The group will meet from 7-9 p.m. at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church, in the chapel. The group will meet on the 'teenth Thursday of every month (the Thursday between the 13th and 19th, there is only one per month). They will sing from "The Sacred Harp," 1991 edition. If you have a book, please bring it. If you have a previous edition of this book, bring it anyway.
Fall is officially here and that means it's time for Piñon Elementary's Annual Pumpkin Patch.
This year's Pumpkin Patch will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 23. This is Piñon Parent Teacher Organization's fifth year of hosting the community event.
"The Pumpkin Patch grows a little bit bigger and more exciting every year and this looks to be our best year yet," said Kelly Benner, president of the Pumpkin Patch committee.
What is Gov. Bill Richardson up to? What will he be doing during his last two and a half months in office?
We know he can't sit still so his final months are bound to be busy.
Will he stay in Santa Fe as he says he will or will he leave for something more exciting?
Will he make bold moves that will deeply affect our state or will he concentrate on finding a job or polishing his legacy?
Gov. Richardson occasionally gives hints.
What other governor, here or anywhere, holds a garage sale three months before going out of office?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are poised to topple at least a dozen Democratic governors next month, and that could cause President Barack Obama and his party major headaches far beyond this year's elections.
