Reward Up To $50K For Missing Queens Boy With Autism
The reward for the safe return of 14-year-old Avonte Oquendo has increased to $50,000. The organization Autism Speaks is offering the reward for the Autistic boy from Queens who is unable to speak.
Avonte Oquendo of Rego Park, Queens has been missing since last Friday (one week ago today). Avonte was last seen on video leaving Center Boulevard School on 51 Avenue in Long Island City at about 12:30 p.m. last week.
On Tuesday, police believed they found Avonte, but it ended up being another missing boy from Harlem. My Fox NY reports that Avonte is said to have a very good understanding of the NYC bus system and his mother said he loves trains.
"If you approach him, call his name. He doesn't like touch too much. He'll probably run. Try to keep him where's he's at," Avonte's mother Vanessa Fontaine told My Fox NY.
If you have any information about Avonte please call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or go to www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or text tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Drs. Hari Rajagopalan, coordinator of accreditation and assistant professor of management (business), and Hubert Setzler III, assistant professor of management (business); and Drs. R. Corey Remle, assistant professor of sociology, and Ruth Wittmann-Price, chair of the Department of Nursing, were awarded the grants on the basis of their research proposal submissions.
"These research efforts complement our mission of serving the needs of the Pee Dee region and its citizens," said Dr. Fred Carter, president of FMU. "These partnerships with medical providers throughout the region underscore our sense of the importance of increasing access to quality health care."
Each valued at $5,000, the grants are awarded to applied research projects that include, but are not limited to, social, educational, economic, environmental, political, and health matters that focus on the general human needs of the Pee Dee region. The grants are submitted in the fall and awarded annually in the spring on a competitive basis.
This year's projects are as follows:
· Wittman-Price and Remle will expand their research promoting the retention of registered nurses in public hospitals.
· Setzler and Rajagopalan will further develop forecasting and deployment models that will assist Emergency Medical Services (EMS) administrators in reducing costs and improving response times and pre-hospital care.
Directed by Dr. T. Alissa Warters, associate professor of political science, the McNair Center is a campus-based research and service resource established in 2012.

SHOCK: Rapist takes young girl to Planned Parenthood for an abortion to hide his crime
(Billy Hallowell) A shocking story is coming out of Everson, Washington, where a pre-teen was raped, impregnated and coerced into aborting her child.
The girl's attacker brought her to Planned Parenthood, where she lied about how she was impregnated and subsequently had an abortion.
It was August 2012 when the preteen told clinic workers that her 14-year-old boyfriend was the baby's father — a lie that was apparently told to protect the adult male who had perpetrated the crime.
It wasn't until six weeks later that she told authorities what really happened. As a result, in April, Luis Gonztalez-Jose, 31, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape of a child.
The horrific incident apparently occurred at a home in Whatcom County, while her mother was in the shower, reports The Bellingham Herald. Gonzalez-Jose will serve nearly seven years in prison as a result of the crime and will be deported upon release.
The case has sparked intense critique from LifeNews, a pro-life organization. In a recent article highlighting the girl's tragic story, the outlet wrote, "The abortion business apparently did the abortion without hesitation." The original report in the Herald noted that the girl told the clinic she could not provide her boyfriend's address or name — key elements that, if pressed, could have helped solve the crime before her admission.
The issue here is clearly one of disclosure. If information is hidden and not given to children's parents, then sexual crimes may go unreported. In this case, the girl did tell an investigator what happened, but what if she hadn't? Would Gonzalez-Jose still be free to continuing assaulting her and other young women?

Heritage Square Shopping Center in Summerville to be developed
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The Heritage Square Shopping Center in Summerville has seen better days, but soon the condemned building could get a new start.
In early September, a deal to sell the shopping center and its 14 acres of land closed. The new owner, 338 Magnum LLC, is planning to redevelop the property. Some speculate the land could be transformed into a shooting range and gun store.
Lee & Associates realtor, Jack Owens, represented the seller, Heritage Square Shopping Center LLC & Heritage Square Two LLC, in the sale of 14.2 Acres at Heritage Square. The deal also included 110,000 square feet of retail space and 32 apartments. According to deed records with Dorchester County, the Shopping Center sold for $2,680,000. The second parcel sold for $670,000.
The Town of Summerville says no official plans have been submitted at this point, but confirm engineers hired by the company have been inspecting the current structure to determine their next steps.
Well over a decade ago, the shopping center was full of stores including a Kmart and a Revco Drug Store. In October 2009, the roof collapsed. When the owner didn't repair the building, the town condemned it in February 2010.

Sometimes it's good to be cheap: money-saving tips from a "cheap" family
Steve and Annette Economides are known as America's cheapest family, and they didn't get that label by stiffing waiters or bringing cheap bottles of wine to house parties. The Economides (yes, that's their real last name, but it's pronounced econo-mee dis)have developed a method to save money as a family, and they shared a few tips with CBS Arizona affiliate KPHO‡ to help every family around the country cut back on spending.
Teach kids the value of money at a young age
The Economides wrote a book called "the MoneySmart family system," and one of the main points is about teaching children the right way to go about learning and saving money. The couple believes that if parents show their children smart money-saving habits at a young age, it can help set the right mood for the entire family.
"We would normally spend money on them," Steve said of his children. "I mean how many parents would normally give their kids $20 to go to the mall? So what we said was, okay, we're going to give them money anyway, let's have them earn it."
Setting up a point system is one way the Economides got their kids excited about earning and saving money. Their children would earn a set amount of points for completing a chore around the house. At the end of the week, they could turn those points in for money.
The family found a reward-based system helps children learn to budget at an early age. Steve also said their goal is by the time their children turn 11, they should be able to afford to buy their own clothes. By the time they turn 16 and are ready to drive, they should be able to pay for their own car and insurance.
"Remember we're slowly transferring the weight of adult responsibilities to the kids so that by the time they're 18, they're ready to go to college and they know how to manage larger amounts of money," Steve said.
The Economides understand that not every 16-year-old will be able to afford their own car. Annette said that even if they can't purchase vehicles when they get their licenses, it's wise to have them pay their own car insurance for accountability reasons.
"It's real important that kids pay for their car insurance because then if they decide to speed and they get a ticket, their car insurance goes up and they bear the consequences for those decisions," she said.
Paying off debt
The interesting take on savings doesn't end there for this family. When managing debt, they told ABC affiliate KNXV‡ to write down every person or establishment they owe money to, no matter the amount. They disagree with the many financial experts say to pay off high-interest debt first.
"Don't worry about interest rates because you have more success if you simply knock off the smallest balance," Annette said.
Steve suggests getting a second job, working overtime or looking around the house for unused items that you might be able to sell in order to help pay off debt. He said the family recently sold a 3-year-old textbook for $30.
Saving on daily costs
The average family of four spends $800 per month‡ on food, or roughly $9,600 per year, according to WTVM.
Annette told KPHO that one simple way to trim a family's food bill is to take inventory of what is already stocked in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets before heading to the grocery store. She said most people have more in their house than they realize, so searching through their pantries reveals a lot of forgotten items.
Remember, adopting even one of these money-saving tips could make a big impact on you budget. Try adding one at a time, and be sure to track the difference it makes each month.

What happens when you lose a tire on the road? You need a road service call for around $250 to $350. You may need a new tire for up to $500. But most important, you could lose a load of concrete. And if you don't make your delivery time, you may lose a customer. Between lost revenue and customer service, that can cost you thousands.
No one can guarantee you won't have a flat, but there are actions you can take to minimize the possibility of catastrophic tire failure.
Today's truck tires are very sophisticated devices designed primarily to hold air. There are as many as 20 or more individual components in a tire, from beads to radial cords and tread belts to inner seals.
All of the structure and various rubber compounds are designed to do two things. They keep the carefully engineered tread on the ground, and they keep air in the tire. The tread transfers forces to the ground for acceleration, braking, and cornering. The air supports the truck.
Air isn't just something to fill the tire. It's the reason the tire exists. Air is a critical, structural part of the truck.
Too much air, and tires become hard. They lose their ability to absorb shocks and to yield to rocks and objects that would cut, puncture, or abrade the tire. Excessive air pressure gives a harsh ride, damaging truck components and affecting driver comfort.
A tire can have too much air on a return trip from dropping a load. A tire properly inflated for 65 mph with a full load will be over-inflated on its return. Proper pressure is a function of speed and load. If the tire was 10% low for local use before departing, it could be critically low on the highway.
Far too many tires are under-inflated. A few years ago, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) checked pressure on 4000 tires over several weeks. They found more than 7% under-inflated by 20 psi or more. Only 44%—less than half—were within 5 psi of their target.
More important, fleets with 50 vehicles or less had more than 19% of all tires under-inflated by 20 psi or more, while fleets of 3000 or more had barely more than 2% similarly under-inflated. The difference is due to the more sophisticated maintenance practices of larger fleets, according to FMCSA.
When tire pressure is low, tread contact area elongates. That changes the rolling radius of the tire and increases the amount of flexing a tire experiences. It also causes sidewalls to flex. Excessive flexing consumes energy, deteriorating fuel economy. It also destroys tires. Here's how.
Have you ever flexed a paper clip? Move the wire back and forth and eventually it will break. If you touch the tips where it snaps, they'll be hot. A flexing tire can generate enough heat through internal friction to break wires in its steel cords and melt the rubber holding the tire together. That's why you will see thrown treads that litter the highways.

The result: all 8 Suncoat Girl nail polishes conform to the health requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D4236 and meet the criteria defined in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) Regulations 16 CFR 1500.14 (described in the Federal Register Announcement 57:197 pp. 46626-46674, dated Friday, October 9,1992). Frequently Asked Questions How do I remove water-based nail polish?Suncoat Water-based nail polish has been formulated to adhere well to the nail bed. If left on nails for an extended time, it may require a little more effort to remove. For easy removal, remove the polish weekly. Remove with Suncoat natural nail polish remover: Suncoat natural nail polish remover is recommended although solvent based remover will take off the polish. Dab the remover onto nails using a Q-tip / or a cotton ball, and allow at least 2 minutes for the remover to soften the polish. Then rub the nails until the polish is fully removed. Repeat when necessary. Rinse hands with water to remove residue. Remove without Suncoat natural nail polish remover: Soak nails in hot water for couple of minutes, then gently scrap off the polish using a fingernail. Important: If your nails are weak and damaged, please consult your health care provider for advice. What if the polish becomes too thick and streaky?Simply add water ONE DROP AT A TIME to the polish and shake well before use. Add one drop of water each time. Adding too much water to the polish may result in polish separation. Is water-based nail polish 100% natural?Unfortunately, No. But it is the most natural nail polish available today. Generally speaking, water-based nail polish contains about 60-70% natural ingredient, namely water. The remaining 30-40% of nail polish is mainly film-formers, typically acrylic copolymer, styrene-acrylic copolymer and polyurethane, or combinations of these. These film formers are unfortunately synthetic, not natural. They are the plastics that coat the nails after the polish dries. They form film only and should not harm the nails. The rest of the ingredients in water-based nail polish, after water and film formers, are film-forming aids, soap and colorants. They form the minor portion in the polish, and only account for 1-10%. Suncoat Water-based nail polish is about as natural as you can get. There is about 70% water, 1-3% natural colorants (namely earth pigments), and there is no phthalate of any kind. Is it possible to make 100% natural nail polish?Yes. However, natural nail polish does not last on nails. It comes off VERY easily in water and has very little staying power. Are there any patents on water-based nail polish?Yes. There are many patents on water-based nail polish. Some of the patents are going back as far as 1980. It is fair to say that water-based nail polish technology is well patented. Many of the patents are owned by well-established cosmetics companies such as L'Oreal, Revlon etc. SO, why has there been no quality water-based nail polish on the market until now?The answer is simple: too difficult to formulate. Water-based nail polish has been a long held dream for cosmetic scientists. Many cosmetic giants have made the attempt to develop water-based nail polish. It is however the technical difficulties that prevented many of the major cosmetics makers from being successful in this area. Based on their experience and knowledge, the major technical challenges for formulating water-based nail polish is lack of adhesion (to human nails) and slow drying time. At Suncoat Products Inc., they also faced these challenges, and struggled for a long while. Thanks to Liu,Yingchun, the mastermind behind Suncoat water-based nail polish, they finally broke through, and came up with an innovative technology (currently patent-pending) that makes today's Suncoat water-based nail polish quick drying, and long lasting. Truly the best water-based nail polish available today. Is Toluene and Formaldehyde-free chemical nail polish as good as water-based nail polish?Not at all. You can now find Toluene and Formaldehyde-free nail polishes in drug stores, department stores, mass merchandisers, etc. These nail polishes are BETTER than those which still have toluene and formaldehyde-releasing ingredients. However, they are still chemical solvent based nail polish. Chemical solvents, namely acetates, are still the major ingredient in the polish: 60-70% . These nail polishes still give off chemical fumes, pollute the air, have an offensive odour, and are highly flammable and explosive. They still harm nails, making the nails yellow, brittle and weak. In water-based nail polish, all the chemical solvents are replaced by water. Toluene and formaldehyde-free nail polish is one step forward…Suncoat water-based nail polish is a revolutionary advance! About Suncoat GirlThey believe fingers and toes are 20 little palettes just waiting to be painted. They believe fun and toxic chemicals don't belong in the same sentence. Created by a chemist and a mom of two girls, Suncoat Girl natural polish is water-based, odorless, 100% VOC free (chemical solvent free) and peels off when ready. No remover needed. Suncoat Girl is so much more than 3-free or 5-free nail polish: 100% VOC free formula. No toluene, formaldehyde, phthalate plasticizer, acetates, alcohol, acetone Fun and vibrant colors Eco-friendly Not tested on animals Award winning Durable, will not come off in water

One really simple method:
You already have a DHCP server set up, right? Well your DHCP server should be telling the local computers what DNS server to use. So change the settings of the DHCP server so that they specify your own IP address as the DNS server.
Then you just set up a DNS daemon on your computer. All DNS requests will go directly to your computer, and you can respond to these requests with any IP address you like.
There's countless ways of going about this, but I don't know what your end objective is.

Staind's Aaron Lewis unleashes on fans molesting a crowd surfing girl
(DC 101) - Staind was performing at Rockfest in Kansas City on Saturday afternoon when front-man Aaron Lewis noticed something in the crowd.
It appeared that young, female crowd surfer was getting abused. Lewis stopped the song they were performing, "Something To Remind You," and launched into a profanity-laced tirade against the abusers in the crowd.
The language is NSFW.
Lewis ranted:
"Alright, listen up, you f****** a**holes. That f****** girl right there is, like, 15 f****** years old and you f****** pieces of s*** are molesting her while she's on the f****** crowd. Your f****** mothers should be ashamed of themselves, you pieces of s***. You should all be f****** beaten down by everyone around you for being f****** pieces of s***. If I f****** see that s*** again, I swear to God, I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your f****** a**."
A fan at the festival captured the rant chock full of NSFW language on video. (WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)

GM Plans to Build 500K EVs Annually by 2017, Use Volt Batteries for Power Outages

Chevrolet Volt
GM is predicted to sell a total of 50,000 cars with electrification technologies this year
General Motors is looking to take huge strides in the way of electric vehicles (EV) and electric batteries: it wants to produce 500,000 EVs per year, and it wants to use
Chevrolet Volt batteries
to power homes during blackouts.
According to GM, it wants to sell 500,000 vehicles equipped with its electric technologies (plug-ins, EVs, hybrids) annually by 2017. If GM is able to do this, EVs would make up 5.5 percent of its total annual sales.
This is a pretty big jump considering GM is predicted to sell a total of
50,000 cars with electrification technologies
this year.
GM is taking EVs very seriously, and is proving that by focusing on its next generation propulsion technology that is currently powering the Volt. GM is looking into new ways of using extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) technology.
Speaking of the Volt, GM is looking to use the EV's battery pack in an innovative way: powering homes in the event of an outage.
GM partnered with automation and power technologies company ABB Group as well as Duke Energy to find useful applications for EV batteries after they've been exhausted in vehicles.
The end result was a unit that contains five
Volt lithium-ion battery packs
that can provide two hours of electricity to three to five U.S. homes during a blackout. According to GM, the unit can provide 25 kilowatt hours of power and 50 kilowatt hours of energy.
"This is an industry first to be able to do secondary automotive batteries in a grid-based application," said Pablo Valencia, GM's senior manager of battery lifecycle management.
GM said the battery could last 10 years on the road and another 10 years as part of the power unit for blackouts.
Duke Energy is looking to install the unit in a North Carolina neighborhood for testing in 2013.

Monitoring your baby before labor
While you are pregnant, your doctor may do tests to check your baby's health. The tests may be done at any time while you are pregnant. Tests may be needed for women who:
- Have a high-risk pregnancy
- Have a health condition, such as diabetes
- Have had complications (problems) in a prior pregnancy
- Have a pregnancy that lasts longer than 40 weeks (overdue)
The tests may be done more than once so the doctor can track the progress of the baby over time. They will help the doctor find problems or things that are not normal (abnormal). Talk to your doctor about your tests and the results.
Test results that are not normal aren't always a reason to worry. A lot of healthy babies have results that are not normal. Your doctor can help you understand what your test results mean, and what kind of care is needed for your baby.
Non-Stress Test (NST)
A healthy baby's heart rate will rise from time to time. During the NST test, your doctor will watch to see if the baby's heart rate goes faster while resting or moving. You will receive no medicines.
If the baby's heart rate does not go up on its own, you may be asked to rub your hand over your belly. This may wake up a "sleepy" baby. A device may also be used to send a noise into your belly. It will not cause any pain.
You will be hooked up to a fetal monitor, a heart monitor for your baby. If the baby's heart rate goes up from time to time, the test results will most likely be normal. NST results that are "reactive" mean that the baby's heart rate went up normally.
"Non-reactive" means that the baby's heart rate did not go up enough. If the heart rate does not go up enough, you may need more tests.
Contraction Stress Test (CST)
If the NST results are not normal, you may need a contraction stress test (CST). This test will help the doctor know how well the baby will do during labor.
Labor is stressful for the baby. Every contraction means the baby gets less blood and oxygen for a short while. For most babies this is not a problem, but some babies have a hard time. A CST shows how the baby's heart rate reacts to the stress of contractions.
A fetal monitor will be used. You will be given oxytocin (Pitocin), a hormone that makes the uterus contract. The contractions will be like the ones you will have during labor, only milder. If the baby's heart rate slows down rather than speeds up after a contraction, the baby may have problems during labor.
Most women feel mild discomfort, but not pain.
If the results are abnormal, your doctor may admit you to the hospital to deliver the baby early.
Biophysical Profile (BPP)
A biophysical profile (BPP) is a non-stress test (NST) with an ultrasound. If the NST results are not reactive, a BPP may be done.
The BPP looks at the baby's movement, body tone, breathing, and the results of the NST test. The BPP also looks at amniotic fluid, the liquid that surrounds the baby in the uterus.
The BPP test results can be normal, abnormal, or unclear. If the results are unclear, you may need to repeat the test. Results that are not normal may mean that the baby needs to be delivered early.
Modified Biophysical Profile (MBPP)
A modified biophysical profile (MBPP) is also a non-stress test (NST) with an ultrasound. This test looks only at how much amniotic fluid there is. The MBPP test takes less time than a BPP. Your doctor may feel that the MBPP test will be enough to check the baby's health, without doing a full BPP.
In a healthy pregnancy, these tests may not be done. But if you have medical problems, the potential for pregnancy problems ("high risk pregnancy"), or have gone a week or more past your due date, you may need some of these tests. Talk to your doctor about the tests and what the results mean for you and your baby.

FS- Alpine CDA-7897 CD/MP3 Receiver with Ai-NET CD changer controls very rare !
Alpine CDA-7897
CD/MP3 Receiver with Ai-NET CD changer controls
Bought this for my m3 and have sold my car.
this unit is used and does work. I purchased an input adapter so it has an ai net to 3.5mm jack input for an ipod. This is the only unit on the market to motorize out from a single din to a double din face. When the ignition os turned off it goes back to a black face which looks like no faceplate is on. This is a very rare head unit and a great fit for the e46 bmw car because of the single din. here is some more info on the player
Our take on the Alpine CDA-7897
by Charlie Pastorfield
Why replace your factory radio?
Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.
How did Alpine do it? The CDA-7897 CD receiver has FantomFace XL, the world's first oversized faceplate housed in a single-DIN-sized chassis! And that's not the end of the story this remarkable faceplate also features cutting-edge theft deterrence. When you power down, FantomFace XL retracts and a plain black panel takes its place. It looks as though the faceplate has been detached!
But this receiver's not content to be just another pretty face. The CDA-7897 will also play your MP3 files on CD-R or CD-RW, so you can bring your Internet music along. To help identify your favorite songs, the CDA-7897 can read MP3 text info (ID-3 tags). An audiophile-grade, regulated 1-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures that your music is reproduced with precision and depth.
The CDA-7897 puts a world of sonic adjustment at your fingertips. Alpine's highly-effective Media Xpander restores any musical sparkle that MP3 compression removed. And Bass Engine® Pro lets you personalize the sound digitally with a 5-band parametric equalizer, 6-channel time correction, and 6-position crossover with variable slope, plus subwoofer phase and level controls.
Add an Alpine Ai-NET CD changer for long-playing entertainment. This versatile receiver also features XM Satellite Radio controls connect an optional Alpine XM tuner, and discover the future of radio with over 100 channels of coast-to-coast, digital-quality music, news, sports, and entertainment (XM antenna and subscription also required).
A wireless remote is included.

This unit retailed for over 700 dollars when it was new. This is a very rare piece and this unit has not been used very much. I dont want to sell it but I have no use for it now that I sold my car. I am missing the trim ring but I think I know where it is and hopefully I can locate it.
I am asking 200 obo which is a steal because they are going for 400-600 on ebay right now if you can find one at all.

I was somewhat surpised that no-one has posted about yesterday's news that British pro wrestling legend Mick McManus death was announced yesterday. Every WWE wrestler who dies seems to get a mention on here.
I guess it tells us something about the age profile of the regular posters on the forum

With Gingrich polling around 4 percent and trailing everyone in the field except Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman, providing information on Gingrich seems almost a waste of time. But since there's always the possibility that he could appear as someone's Vice Presidential candidate, this information needs to get out.
It's actually difficult to pin down exactly who he is, because it seems to be that Gingrich is whoever he needs to be at the time. That he is a brilliant yet undisciplined man, there is no doubt. Yet, like Democratic Senator John Kerry, Gingrich is for things before he's against them, and that even applies to his wives.
While in high school, Gingrich began a relationship with his geometry teacher, Jackie Battley, who was seven years (or nine years, depending on who is talking) his senior. (According to Gingrich's second wife, the relationship with Battley began when Gingrich was just 16.) They married in 1962, when Gingrich was 19. In 1980 they divorced. According to news reports, Gingrich served his wife with divorce papers while she was recovering from cancer surgery and still in the hospital. But Gingrich and his daughter deny that.
It's quite obvious that marriage vows mean nothing to Gingrich. While still married to his first wife, "it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women," according to a former campaign aide, including the woman who would become his second wife in 1981. In an eerily familiar scenario to the end of his first marriage, second wife Marianne Ginther was given her divorce papers in 1999 after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Coincidently, Gingrich had already begun an affair with Callista Bisek, the woman who would become his third wife. She should really hope she doesn't contract a serious illness as Gingrich apparently ignores the "sickness" part of the vow that includes "in sickness and in health." And by the way, some of his affairs took place while Gingrich was excoriating President Bill Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
If you're willing to excuse Gingrich's character flaws and still plan to consider him for the GOP nominee, then consider his ties to one-world-government groups like American Enterprise Institute, the Hoover Institution, the Defense Policy Board, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the Council on Foreign Relations and Bohemian Grove (an organization in which the world's elites gather annually to conduct pagan rituals that include nudity, orgies, mock human sacrifices and worship of the Canaanite owl of Bohemia and the pagan god Molech). For a stomach-turning adventure, learn about Bohemian Grove by reading the story linked above, and be sure and give yourself time watch the video. Early in it is a brief shot of a photo of Gingrich at Bohemian Grove.
Beyond belonging to organizations that are working toward one-world governance, figuring out exactly who Gingrich is like figuring out what color a chameleon is.
He sided with Nancy Pelosi (and Al Gore), sitting on a couch with Pelosi hawking cap and trade legislation because he said he believed in man-caused global warming. Now he calls cap and trade an energy tax. In 2008 he supported insurance mandates for people who earn more than $75,000 per year. Two years later he said mandates were unConstitutional. On Libya, as the violence there escalated, Gingrich suggested that Obama should implement a no-fly zone immediately. Within days he told NBC's Today Show's Matt Lauer that "I would not have intervened… I would not have used American and European forces, bombing Arabs and that country."
Still more troubling, even as he courted Tea Party voters, he was speaking disdainfully of them, calling them the "militant wing" of the Republican Party.
So who is Newt Gingrich? An arrogant man who believes he can say anything at any time and not be held accountable for it. He is certainly no conservative by any definition of the word, and his mimicking of Ron Paul on the idea of auditing the Federal Reserve is a desperate attempt by a desperate man to cast himself as something he's never been, and it rings quite hollow.

LEGO Ideas: Cloud City Play Set

While LEGO isn't accepting any more Ideas proposals for any of IPs that they have already licensed, we wanted to highlight this
Cloud City play set
, built at MicroFighter-scale because it is so inventive. Unlike many Ideas pitches this hasn't been mocked up with a CAD package but is actual (ABS) bricks and mortar. And while it is compact and bijou - the set includes all the iconic Cloud City locations - it uses space well and circles around the gantry where Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader had their famous father and son face off. If you'd like to see that scene produced check out
I Am Your Father
which needs less than 400 votes to make it to the final LEGO review panel.

The impact of a tragedy that hit Haiti last week has been felt around the globe, but one Washington County native was there to experience it first hand.
Marsha Garner, 60, grew up on Beechland Road in Springfield and graduated from Washington County High School, but when a 7.3-powered earthquake hit Port-Au-Prince, Haiti last week, she was only 40 miles away from the heart of the disaster.
By Jimmie Earls
Sun Sports Writer
Two weeks ago, a winter storm rolled through Kentucky, dumping several inches of snow and forcing the cancellation of high school basketball games. The Jan. 8 district match-up between Washington County and Bethlehem would have to wait until Jan. 22. Washington County is now hoping for a different kind of "whiteout" for tonight in Springfield.
Washington County Road Department crews have been working diligently to keep roads clear after last week's snow fall. The department supervisor Albert Wimsatt told the Washington County Fiscal Court on Monday that his workers have been staying busy keeping up with Mother Nature.
Two former Washington County deputies were among seven people indicted by a local grand jury last week.
Sun Sports Writer
The past week was filled with important district match-ups for the Washington County Commanders. WC lost a hard-fought contest at Bardstown last Tuesday, with everything coming down to the wire. As the Commanders held a slim 53-52 lead with 16.5 seconds left in the game, a three-pointer by Tiger sophomore guard Nathan Hall found the net with seven seconds left, sending the stunned WC faithful home with a heartbreaking loss.
Sun Staff Writer
Washington County officials have now confirmed a second local case of rabies. Following that news, officials are urging pet owners to have their animals vaccinated.
"The latest report was a case of a dog being bitten by a rabid skunk and passing the rabies on to the pet," said Sharon Browning with the Washington County Environmental Services. "Apparently the skunk got into a fight with the dog. The skunk wasn't tested, but the dog died and tested positive for rabies."
SCC Sports Information
Many residents of Central Kentucky have become very familiar with the varsity basketball players from St. Catharine College. And they have done so without ever attending a game.
The familiarity has stemmed from the many community service ventures of the Patriot women and men coached by Lena Bramblett and J.T. Burton. Within the last year the young players have painted houses, volunteered at local festivals, salvaged homes slated to be condemned, visited veterans centers and worked with elementary school students.
A local man is facing a Class D felony drug charge after being arrested last Thursday night by Springfield Police. Joseph K. Sparrow, 29, of Springfield, is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and is currently being housed in the Marion County Detention Center in Lebanon with a cash bond set at $1,000.
For the past several months, residents of Washington County may have fallen victim to Sparrow, who Springfield Police describe as a drug addict who used a door-to-door method to solicit money for his habit.
Located in Washington County just north of Sharpsville, where Routes 53 and 390 meet, sits the rundown shell of an old general store once owned by Jack and Adylee Robinson. Fifty years ago, it was the hub of the community, a place where many local residents purchased their groceries, feed, seed, and even their clothing. Today, the old store is home only to a family of stray cats. Jack has passed away, and at 94, Adylee is spry and still kicking up her heels.
The Washington County Commanderettes opened the second half of the 2009-10 schedule with a road trip to Burgin to battle the 3-4 Lady Bulldogs.
The first quarter was all WC as the Commanderettes got off to a 16-11 start after the first period. Burgin came back in the second quarter, putting up 14 points to WC's eight, to take a 25-24 lead into halftime.
WC pulled away in the second half, outscoring Burgin 14-10 in the third and 16-12 in the final quarter to win 54-47 and improve to 2-8 on the season.

The Chapel of Saints Joachim and Anne - (Catholic Byzantine Rite)
The Chapel of Saints Joachim and Anne is located on the second floor of the Laframboise Hall and is at the heart of the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies.
Prayer is one of the Institute's primary commitments. In the interest of integrating academic study and worship of the Triune God, the Institute offers a variety of liturgical services on a regular basis. These services are celebrated primarily in English and French. However Ukrainian and Greek, along with other liturgical and vernacular languages, are also used.
The chapel is renowned for the worship of the Byzantine-Constantinopolitan tradition, which is common to Eastern Orthodox and Greek Catholic Churches. As part of the Institute's commitment to ecumenical understanding, specifically between Eastern and Western Christians, the Institute encourages everyone to participate in worship at the chapel.
Indeed, all staff, students and members of the local community are made to feel most welcome. Thus, whether you are an Eastern Christian or someone simply interested in exploring the Christian East, please feel free to drop by the Institute.

Hundreds of people gathered in small groups around the shaded areas of Mary's Mercy Center on San Bernardino's Westside, lounging and chatting as they occasionally glanced toward a volunteer.
The wait could be an hour or longer, most knew, until the volunteer called their number and it was time to file in for macaroni and cheese, vegetables and the rest of a carefully balanced meal. So - as about 225 to 500 people do every Wednesday except the first of the month - they settled in.
But not Fausto Ramirez, who stood in near-blinding sunlight with his wife and 5-year-old daughter looking lost and embarrassed.
"This is my first time here," Ramirez, 38, said in Spanish. "I have been to some churches - three churches - and they said food is given here."
Ramirez is no stranger to hard times: His six-person family shares a San Bernardino house with another family, he said, because that's all his job as a busboy could support. His wife, Esther, is unemployed.
But two months ago Ramirez lost his job - "there isn't money for enough busboys," he said - and he went from needing only some government assistance to leaning heavily on a patchwork of charities and agencies that give out food for the needy.
"It's enough," he said. "We're not (going) hungry. But I don't want to have to go to places like this, for the homeless. I know I'll get a job very soon, through my friend, and a job will almost be easier."
More and more people are falling through the cracks and asking for help when before it wasn't needed, even as the national economy shows signs of improvement, say directors of soup kitchens in many parts of San Bernardino County.
But as demand rises, supplies are falling.
"We're thinking it's 15 to 25 percent that the food sources are down," said Gerald Wilson, acting program manager for the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County Food Bank, which gives food to more than 200 nonprofits in cities countywide. "Monetary donations are down, too - we know we're down across the board. A lot of it is just people are out of work, woefully out of work."
Those estimates are compared to 2011, when the food bank distributed 8.3million pounds of food valued at $10.4million, providing food for 427,724 families, according to Wilson. That's more people than the 363,519 households it gave food in 2010, but less than the 9.7million pounds worth $11.2million distributed then.
The same is true on a smaller scale for organizations like the Family Service Association of Redlands, which works with families on a case-management basis - one-on-one help with everything from job training to parenting classes.
The center distributes surplus food five days a week to about 40 families, despite losing about 57 percent of its government funding over the last three years, according to Executive Director Cheryl Heesen.
"We used to have two fairly good-sized food drives per year, (but) now we have to have them pretty much constantly," Heesen said. "In our surplus food distribution, we've been very fortunate to have individuals and groups in the community that provide us with some fresh produce ... grown in their gardens."
That works in some communities, but areas such as the High Desert often have more hungry people than distribution opportunities, Wilson said.
"It means that, tragically, there's families that might not have food in their area," he said.
In addition, lines are long and coordinating pick-ups between a variety of food distributors miles apart - each giving out food, say, three times a month - can be difficult for those without computers or vehicles, Wilson said. but starvation itself is rarely an issue.
"If you hustle, there is a lot (of food opportunities)," he said. "Thank God there's so many people in the Inland Empire that are feeding the hungry, they're making this possible."
The food bank, like others in the area, gets food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, private donations and "salvage" products that are still edible but don't meet grocery stores' freshness standards.
San Bernardino County's largest contributor of salvage food - donating about 4 million pounds a year, in addition to a total of $900,000 in cash donations - is Stater Bros. Markets.
The inspiration came in 1988, when chairman and CEO Jack Brown saw a man and two children scavenging for bakery products outside one of his San Bernardino stores.
"I was raised by a widow mother who never remarried, 65 years a widow, so I know about not having," Brown said. "So I came back to our company the following week and said, `We've got to do a better job. Kids shouldn't think food comes from dumpsters."'

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team knocked down four three-pointers over the final 3:04 of play to earn an 81-78 win despite a furious comeback by the Queens University Royals on Saturday afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium.
After a lopsided first half that saw BC lead by as many as 26, the Royals closed the gap in the second half thanks to an 18-1 run made it a one-point game. The Tornados stretched their lead back out to four points before QU eventually took their first lead of the game at 61-60 with just over eight minutes left.
From there the score was tied four times over the final 6:46 of play. Five unanswered gave Queens their biggest lead of the game at 69-64 before the Tornados clawed back to tie the game at 74-74 on a Miles Leathers three with 2:14 on the clock.
Dominique Pickett drilled a three to give BC a 77-74 lead on BC's next possession before QU's Jarrett Stokes, who had a game-high 31 points, answered with a three to tie it at 77-77 with 1:26 to go
Leathers drilled another three to put BC in back in front, this time for good, with 1:01 left to play. The two teams exchanged free throws over the final minute, but a deep heave from Stokes fell short at the buzzer to give BC their second conference win of the year.
The Tornados shot 53.6 percent (30-of-56) from the floor in the game, thanks to efficient performances by Miles Leathers (10-for-13) and Trevon Shaw (6-for-8). Leathers poured in a career-high 26 points.
Pickett scored all of his 14 points after the break to help BC hold off a relentless Queens push in the second half.
Brevard rolled to a 34-8 advantage to start the game, scoring the game's first 10 points and keeping the Royals off the scoreboard until a Josh Clyburn jumper at the 13:57 mark in the first half. Although BC eventually cooled off, the Tornados still managed to shoot 61.5 percent (16-of-26) from the field in the first half.
Queens began to chip away at BC's advantage with a 15-5 run just before the half, and were able to cut the lead to 43-29 at halftime. Shaw had 16 of his 19 points before the break to help fuel BC's hot start.
BC made it look easy at times against the league's best defense, which had been allowing 66.7 points per game entering Saturday's action. The Tornados' 81 points ties the highest point total scored against the Royals through eight games this season.
Darius Moose also chipped in 17 points for BC, notching his third double-double of the season with a game-high 11 rebounds.
The Tornados are in action against another Division I opponent as they visit The Citadel on Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. in McAlister Field House for their final game of 2013.

Snooki's Advice on Dealing With Rumors
Jersey Shore's Smurfette has a cool line of accessories and smart advice on how to deal with rumors and bullies.
-PJ Gach
Donald Trump had better watch out. It looks like Snooki's got as good a head for business as he does — and poofier hair! Her line of sunnies, slippers, and bags, as well as her new fragrance, "Snooki by Nicole Polizzi,"are all launching on HSN this Thursday, November 10th. For Snooki, this is just the start of her empire.
I got the chance to meet her at the end of last week during the sneak peek preview of the merch. As far as the sunnies go: there's a wide array of styles aviators, square and round. Some of them aren't bling'd out, while some of them are. I fell in love with a few pairs, but picked just one with pearls, gold studs and more on the arms. Hey, you only live once!
The slippers look like something a cartoon character would wear. They're overstuffed and designed to look like sneakers. And, um, I'm wearing them now.
As for the fragrance, Snooki said that she wanted to make "the appearance of the perfume to be very gaudy and very tacky like me and I think I did that."
She went on to say, "About the smell, I definitely wanted it to be bubbly, like my personality, very flirtatious, very cute. There are scents of kiwi in it, lots of sugar notes. And I just wanted it to be very cute and flirty. Anybody could wear it. I always say my perfume, or any of my products never discriminate against any age." It's sweet, feminine and flirty. The dry down has musky-floral tones.
When talking about Snooki, it's easy to be dismissive of her. After all, she appears buffoonish on Jersey Shore. It's easy to get pre-conceived notions about her intelligence and business savvy. So, when you compliment her, no matter how you phrase it, the praise appears to be a backhanded compliment.
Before I read her new book, Confessions of a Guidette ($13.15, amazon.com), I was convinced it would be full of useless junk, pandering to her audience. Okay, yes, there's some nonsense in there, but it's all done in good fun. If you were to distill the ethos of this guide, it's to love yourself, take care of yourself and honor yourself. This is more along the lines of Deepak Chopra than Snooki.
Read Celeb Trend Road Test: The Dip Dye!
During the interview, I asked her how she juggles all her duties: Jersey Shore, work, personal appearances and a private life, Snooki responded, "It's not really that hard, I mean I try to cut down on personal appearances because I want more of a business look for me, rather than going out and partying for a couple of bucks. I'd rather have my business…."
Behind the façade of heavy makeup, poof and uber-long nails, is a wise young woman. During the interview, I asked her, "What's the silliest interview question you've ever been asked?" What I got was a ton of advice on how to deal with nasty rumors and bullying.
Watch the video to hear it all.

In Pacific Coast League action, Chris Rusin allowed only two hits over eight shutout innings in Iowa's 2-1 win over Memphis.

Cubs second baseman Adrian Cardenas went 2-for-3 with a walk and stolen base while Chicago's No. 1 prospect Anthony Rizzo scored once.
Both the bats and the arms figured greatly in Round Rock's 10-0 road win over New Orleans. Express starter Neil Ramirez struck out six and allowed three hits over six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 2.14. First baseman Michael Bianucci hit his fifth home run on a three-RBI day. Catcher Luis Martinez and right fielder Joey Butler also added a home run and three RBIs each in the win.
An RBI single by Dodgers' No. 14 prospect Tim Federowicz in the top of the 14th inning led Albuquerque past Oklahoma City, 11-10. Isotopes catcher Josh Bard led all hitters with four RBIs and added his first home run of the season in the victory. Along with Bard, four other hitters between the two clubs, including Dodgers' No. 18 prospect Scott Van Slyke, had four hits in game that totaled 36 (19 for Albuquerque, 17 for Oklahoma City).
Adeiny Hechavarria, David Cooper and Ruben Gotay had two-RBI games for Las Vegas as the 51s trounced Colorado Springs, 9-2, at home. Gotay went 2-for-4 with a double out of the eighth spot in the lineup to improve his season average to .391. Starting pitcher Jesse Chavez allowed just one run on three hits and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings. Right fielder Matt McBride (2-for-4, RBI) was the only Sky Sox player with more than one hit.
An RBI bunt single by Jarrod Dyson in the seventh inning proved to be the game-winner in Omaha's 2-1 win over Nashville. Omaha starter Nathan Adcock overcame a first-inning home run by Brooks Conrad to pitch eight strong innings in which he allowed five hits and only one walk. Seth McClung had his best outing of the young season after surrendering just two runs over 6 1/3 innings.
No. 9 A's prospect Chris Carter pounded three home runs and five RBIs in Sacramento's 12-4 win over Reno on the road.

Salt Lake defeated Tucson, 16-1, but the big story was the early exit of MLB.com's No. 3 prospect Mike Trout, who left the game as a precautionary measure after being hit by a pitch. Bees first baseman Efren Navarro produced game highs in hits (four) and RBIs (four) while designated hitter Paul McAnulty hit his first two home runs of the year. Brad Mills allowed just one run in six innings to lower his ERA to 1.42, fifth-best in the PCL.

Risk of an Active Shooter Event
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, an active shooter is usually an individual who is engaged in attempting to kill or harm people in a confined and populated area through the use of firearms.
Victims are often selected at random and the event is unpredictable. Should you find yourself coping with an active shooter, remain calm and be aware of your environment and exits.
When law enforcement arrives, immediately raise hands and spread fingers. Do not make quick movements towards officers and avoid screaming and yelling; remain calm. Proceed in the direction from which law enforcement arrived. Law enforcement officials may not be in a position to assist you as they are actively pursuing the shooter.
If possible, provide law enforcement with any information about the active shooter, such as a physical description of the shooter(s), any potential victims and any weapons held by the shooter(s). Keep in mind that the first law enforcement on the scene will not stop to help injured individuals; rescue teams will follow.
After reacing a safe location or assembly area, you will likely be held by law enforcement until the situation is under control and witnesses have been questioned. Do not leave the area until law enforcement authorities have instructed you to do so.
For more information, contact the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management at 214-653-7980.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- The new AprivaPay Plus application enables merchants to accept and record payments at any location they serve through their mobile devices. It's compatible with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Apriva describes the intuitive point-of-sale solution as a "lighter" version of its original AprivaPay app, designed especially for smaller businesses. It allows merchants to process card-based payments and record cash sales on their smartphones or tablets. Merchants can set sales tax rates (and tips in the case of service-based businesses) within the app, ensuring that all income is properly recorded and distributed.
The AprivaPay Plus app also includes an integrated search feature that facilitates specific transaction retrieval, as well as an easy-to-use configuration function that allows merchants to create specific inventory groups using barcodes and photos to expedite the sales process.
The mobile terminal uses an encrypted card reader, which prevents another app from accessing personal information or card information on the device. All transactional information is securely stored on the Apriva Payment Gateway, which eliminates the possibility of customer information being compromised in the event of a lost or stolen device.
"Many small businesses are seeing firsthand that consumers are using credit and debit cards for both large and small-ticket purchases, and accepting card payments has become a necessity in order to grow their businesses," said Bill Ramsey, Apriva's vice-president and general manager for mobile payments. "AprivaPay Plus allows our resellers to tap into this burgeoning market, and provide a user-friendly payments solution that is perfectly aligned with the specific needs of small business."

Step 1: Make sure you have new parts available
You can fix most problems with the replacement parts available at hardware stores and home centers. A plumbing parts distributor will carry a much larger selection and may be able to special-order hard-to-find items (look under " Plumbing Parts and Supplies" in your local Yellow Pages or online). There are thousands of different faucet replacement parts available, so bring your old parts to the store for a proper match. If your valve is highly corroded or the finish is wearing off, replace the entire faucet.
Step 2: Disassemble the faucet
Photo 3: Pop loose the handle
Turn the handle screw about halfway back into the stem. Position the handle puller's post against the screwhead and press the arms together behind the handle. Turn the post clockwise until the handle pops loose. Remove the handle screw and handle. Then pull off or unscrew the escutcheon plate.
Removing the faucet handle is the toughest part of the job. Over time, corrosion can virtually weld the handle to the stem. Remove the handle by following the instructions in Photos 1 and 2. If the handle won't come off, don't force it—it might break. Instead, remove it with a special handle puller (Photo 3). Once the handles off, unscrew the escutcheon and stem assembly (Photo 4 and Fig. A). The stem assembly controls the amount and temperature of the water dispensed through the tub spout or shower head. Remove it with a special bath socket wrench, which looks like a spark plug wrench on steroids (Photo 4).
Leaks usually occur for two reasons. Over time, the seat washer stiffens and won't seal tightly. And water pressure gradually erodes the brass rim of the seat (Photo 5). Replace the seat using a special seat wrench as shown in Photo 5.
Step 3: Replace the stem parts
Fig. A shows the stem replacement parts and how to prepare the stem for reinstallation. Lubricate the parts with special plumber's grease. If you're working on a two-handled faucet, we recommend replacing the washers and seats in both the hot and cold valves.
First, unscrew the packing nut. Twist the stem clockwise and back it out of the bonnet. Pry out the old packing washer with a small flat-blade screwdriver or pick. Grease the stem threads and reinstall the stem in the bonnet. Grease the new packing washer and slide it in place, and then grease the packing nut threads and firmly tighten the packing nut. Use special plumber's grease.
Second, remove the old seat washer screw and the old seat washer. Grease the new seat washer and the threads of the new screw and then reinstall them.
Third, pull off the old bonnet washer, grease the new one and slide it in place.
Fourth, apply pipe joint compound to the bonnet threads and reinstall it in the faucet body (Photo 4).
Five, grease the handle splines and replace the escutcheon and handle.
