SAN BERNARDINO -- Sheriff John McMahon offered new details Friday about the events surrounding the final moments of a massive manhunt for ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner.
Sheriff's officials announced at a 4 p.m. news conference that they believed Dorner's death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
McMahon stressed early in the news conference that his department has nothing to hide and he is confident in its actions during their search for Dorner.
The sheriff also said the manhunt is over in reference to Thursday's announcement that Dorner's body was found inside a cabin in Barton Flats.
"We can now begin the healing process," McMahon said.
McMahon said Tuesday's mayhem started when deputies discovered shoe prints in the snow leading to the cabin. Dorner, 33, then ambushed initial responding officers and began firing at them, McMahon said.
Detective Jeremiah MacKay and his partner Alex Collins were the first two deputies on scene. MacKay, 35, of Redlands was killed and Collins was seriously wounded.
"Both officers went down," he added.
Other sheriff's deputies responded and went through a "hail of gunfire" to rescue the injured officers and dragged them back to cover, McMahon said.
Deputies then traded gunfire with Dorner.
"When we would move, he would shoot at us," McMahon said.
During the gun battle, deputies made multiple announcements calling for Dorner to surrender. When he did not respond, deputies used cold gas in hopes of forcing him out.
When Dorner still refused to respond, officials deployed pyrotechnic chemicals.
McMahon justified the deputies' actions by saying the hot gas was the only option to get Dorner out of the cabin since the cold gas did not work.
At the same time, deputies said they believed Dorner was throwing smoke inside the cabin to obscure the view of deputies.
A fire broke out in the cabin and, as the flames spread, officials heard a "distinct single gunshot come from within the house," Capt. Gregg Herbert said. Sheriff's officials said they believe Dorner likely shot himself.
"The cabin was consumed by fire to the point where it was not a structure anymore," he said.
Eventually, SWAT members pulled back and the scene was turned over to homicide detectives.
Later that night, after the flames had smoldered, authorities discovered a body inside the cabin.
Capt. Kevin Lacy informed media that after a 6-hour autpopsy, officials identified Dorner through dental records.
He also revealed Dorner's cause of death - a single gunshot wound to the head.
Lacy said the wound was likely self-inflicted, but the Sheriff's Department is not ready to confirm a suicide.
Authorities also announced that they found several weapons and tactical gear recovered from places occupied by Dorner.
Numerous assault weapons and semi-automatic hand guns, a tactical-style load bearing vest, gas canisters, high-capacity magazines, a military-style Kevlar helmet and 10 silencers were located at several scenes throughout the mountain, McMahon said.
When reporters were allowed to ask questions, many of them focused on comments made by authorities during the gun battle and the empty cabin Dorner hid in that was in close proximity to a command post.
McMahon said he will look into comments heard on a police radio about intentionally burning the cabin down, but he does not believe it was attributed to those involved in tactics.
The deputies involved in the chaotic scene are human beings, McMahon said, and they had just been involved in one of the most "fierce firefights."
"Sometimes, because we're humans, we say things that may or may not be appropriate," McMahon said.
McMahon also acknowledged that Dorner may have been in a residence on Club View Drive when deputies knocked on its door Thursday.
McMahon said his deputies were not going to kick the doors open on hundreds of cabins if there was no sign of forced entry.
Officials found nothing unusual and said the door was locked. Deputies put evidence tape near that cabin to show it had been checked and moved on with their search.
"They did a good job checking the neighborhood," McMahon said.
The press conference lasted about 30 minutes. McMahon ended it by saying the investigation is over as far as San Bernardino County is concerned and it is now in the hands of other agencies.

Most people buy the Peugeot 207 for its looks, but it's more than just a pretty face. …
The third-generation Yaris might have filled out a little, but it's still cute and perfectly formed. It's easy to drive, cleverly designed and shouldn't offend anyone.
It handles and rides fairly well, but it's not always comfortable, and can feel unsettled on bumpier roads. Also, compared with the best superminis such as the Vauxhall Corsa it's noticeably less refined, with more wind, road and engine noise.
There's a host of safety features as standard, including anti-lock brakes, two front airbags on the base model, and curtain airbags on the next model up. The car also gets a five-star occupant safety rating in Euro NCAP tests, and three stars for pedestrian protection.
The Yaris is one of the shorter cars in its class, but you still get a good amount of space inside considering it's a supermini. Rear passengers shouldn't complain, and those in the front enjoy good forward visibility because of a high seating position.

Cabrera, Drillers toss two-hitter
Strikeout king abandoning punchouts, now pitching to contact
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | June 11, 2012 8:14 PM ET
Now at a new level, his focus is on becoming more efficient.
Colorado's No. 19 prospect allowed one hit over seven dominant innings in the Double-A Tulsa Drillers' 6-0 victory over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on Monday.
Cabrera, signed by the Rockies as a non-drafted free agent in 2008, struck out five batters and walked two, lowering his Texas League ERA to 3.25 and improving to 6-4. But unlike the pitcher that fanned 217 batters over 167 innings between two levels last season, this year's version -- let's call him Edwar 2.0 -- is succeeding by pitching to contact.
"We wanted more ground balls, so I pitched down in the zone where the hitters can't hit fly balls," said Cabrera, who threw 57 of 87 pitches for strikes. "I don't want to pitch for a strikeout right now because I want to throw six or seven innings every start. When I'm thinking about strikeouts, I'm throwing too many pitchers to hitters and not throwing too many innings.
"I am thinking three pitches per hitter. I'm not thinking about strikeouts or anything, only about pitching my game and pitching to contact. I stay focused, throw down in the zone and try to get ground balls."
On Monday, the approach paid off. A native of Santana in the Dominican Republic, Cabrera induced 10 ground balls and three infield popups. Only three balls left the infield and just one of these -- Yem Prades' sixth-inning line drive to left field -- resulted in a hit.
"For me, I was pretty good tonight," he said. "I threw my four-seamer in and my two-seamer away. I only used a couple changeups and breaking balls today. I was not thinking about a no-hitter, only about my mechanics and throwing down in the zone ... I'm only thinking about helping my teammates."
The 6-foot left-hander was perfect through the first four innings, but he needed a 6-4-3 double play ball to work around two walks and second baseman Rey Navarro's fielding error to escape the fifth frame unharmed.
Center fielder Prades broke up Cabrera's no-hit bid with one out in the sixth, but the 24-year-old retired the final five batters he faced before turning over a 6-0 lead to the bullpen in the eighth.
"I threw back-to-back curveballs because in the fourth inning he swung and missed at them," Cabrera said of Prades' base hit. "They told me I could throw another one. It was a good pitch, but he was looking for that pitch. Everything was good. That is good for him.
"I was thinking I maybe I could come back out, but Sullivan needed to throw today. [Manager Duane Espy] told me that was it for today and that I did a really good job but Sullivan was coming in."
Sullivan pitched a 1-2-3 eighth before working around a single and a walk in the ninth to preserve the shutout.
"He threw good," said Cabrera, whose 68 strikeouts rank fourth in the Texas League and tied for 45th in the Minors, 34 behind Reno's Trevor Bauer. "He threw his fastball really good today and his slider was good."
Monday's outing was exactly what Cabrera needed to get back on track. He had recorded just one win in his previous five starts, and in his last two outings, he gave up a combined nine runs on 12 hits and three walks. On Wednesday, Cabrera yielded six runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings at home to Springfield.
"On Wednesday I don't have any excuses," said Cabrera, who fell just short of perfection back in April. "It was a really bad day for myself. A couple days ago, my pitching coach [Dave Schuler] told me that I had something bad in my mechanics so we watched video and worked on the mechanics in between bullpen [sessions].
"I was overthrowing my fastball. He told me not to throw it as hard as I could, but to stay back. I was trying to throw it too hard, trying to throw the perfect pitch. My fastballs were higher [in the zone] when I tried to throw it too hard. He showed me that in my video. ... We worked on that tonight."
Northwest Arkansas starter Elisaul Pimentel (2-4) took the loss Monday. He allowed five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and a walk while striking out two batters over four innings.

A State of Trance 600 Miami at Ultra Music Festival
Listen to Armin van Buuren on iHeartRadio
Armin van Buuren has been busy over the last month or two traveling all over the world on the A State of Trance 600 'The Expedition' tour. As the tour is winding down, he's already visited Madrid, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Minsk, Sofia, Beirut, Kuala Lumpur, and Mumbai. The tour includes only two stops in the U.S. one in New York, and the other in Miami at Ultra Music Festival weekend two.
It was an incredible 12-hour ASoT in the Mega Structure at Ultra with a lineup that included Tritonal, W&W, Cosmic Gate, ATB, Dash Berlin, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk, and of course, Armin van Buuren. There were so many people at the ASoT stage at one point, people were spilling out into the pathway leading up to the next stage! Along with aerial artists and dancers, it was an unforgettable day.

Related story: 2012 API scores show academic improvement across California
Online resource: 2012 California API Growth data
San Bernardino County schools continued more than a decade of improvement on standardized test scores, including setting a new high for schools above a key state benchmark, state officials announced Thursday.
County schools improved by 10 points on the state's Academic Performance Index this year, rising to a 767 score, the 13th year of growth and the fifth year in a row with a double-digit spike.
A total of 195 schools are at or above the 800 benchmark - an improvement of 14 percent over 2011.
"Under these very trying times for schools, it is gratifying to see the laser-sharp focus continue to be on student achievement," county Superintendent Gary Thomas said in a news released. "With 24 more schools this year reaching or passing the 800 standard, I am so pleased that our schools continue on their path toward academic achievement for all students."
The county hit a new record this year: 195 schools at or above 800.
The API is calculated using test scores from the California Standards Tests (CSTs) in English Language Arts, math grades 2 through 11, science in three grades and history and social science in three grades. High school API scores also include results from the California High School Exit Exam. Scores range from 200 through 1,000.
On San Bernardino County's West End, the biggest gains were seen at Oakmont Elementary School in the Claremont Unified School District, which went up 86 points to 859; Vineyard Elementary in the Ontario-Montclair School District, which went up 45 points to 756; El Roble Intermediate in Claremont, which went up 41 points to 853; Vista del Valle Elementary in Claremont, which went up 38 points to 877; and Alta Loma Junior High in the Alta Loma School District, which went up 37 points to 874.
"We had a very laser-like focus on instruction and making sure that the objectives for every lesson are always stated," Oakmont principal Stacey Stewart said. "We give them the picture of what we want them to learn."
Stewart, a new principal at the school, also instituted cooperative learning groups for students and regular assessments to monitor their progress.
"The students are actually recording their results, so the kids can tell you where they are," she said.
Just down the street, Claremont had another success story, at Vista del Valle, where her husband Dave is principal.
"I thought 38 points was pretty good until she blew it out of the water," he said. Vista del Valle adopted similar strategies, focusing on both academic achievement and providing multiple opportunities to succeed.
"When we fail, be able to dust yourselves off and attack and overcome those challenges," he said. "That became a regular part of how we did business last year."
At El Roble, teachers "allowed the students' data to guide the instruction ... if the kids didn't know it, how would they re-teach it so that kids would know it?" principal Scott Martinez said. "We need to focus on those little things that make a difference."
At Alta Loma Junior, the school worked to identify struggling students and help them, but also made sure students tried and didn't give up when things got hard.
"Not `failure is not an option,' but `success is the only option,"' Principal Melinda Early said.
The attitude extended to statewide testing days.
"If kids were being consistent, making an effort, teachers would keep putting tickets on their desks during the day," Early said. At lunch, students could put the tickets in for raffles, with the grand prize being a giant tub of cheese puffs.
Farther east, the biggest gains were seen at Hoffer Elementary in the Banning Unified School District, which went up 77 points to 825; Lucerne Valley High School in the Lucerne Valley Unified School District, which went up 73 points to 722; Davidson Elementary in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which went up 73 points to 729; Serrano Middle in the SBCUSD, which went up 60 points to 768; and Ruth O. Harris Middle School in the Colton Joint Unified School District, which went up 54 points to 781.
Redlands public schools saw growth as well.
Many of the district's schools had higher than 800 marks.
And those that didn't saw growth.
For instance, Lugonia Elementary School saw its growth go from 766 to 781.
Redlands East Valley High went from a 2011 base score of 787 to 788, according to the state.
Last year, Banning Unified brought a new principal and select staff to Hoffer Elementary with the goal of dramatically turning things around.
"We instituted and developed a schoolwide (accelerated reading) program with incentives for how many words students read," third-grade teacher David Cesario said. "Everyone had buy-in and supported the program. Hoffer students read over 70 million words (last year) compared to the year before of 8 million."
The school also stressed the importance of reading at home with students.
"My personal focus is all subject areas, all subgroups. We don't just focus on any one," Serrano principal Arwyn Wild said. Every group of students, across every socio-economic line, met their testing goals this year. "We started looking at the culture of the school and studied what is the makeup of a high-achieving school," including appropriate behavior, attendance, a culture of high expectations and helping teachers give a high level of instruction.
Harris Middle School has gone up 85 points in the last three years. Principal Sandy Torres credits spotting the kids who are lagging behind through in-house testing and giving them extra help and attention.
"What do we want kids to learn ... how are we going to know if they learned it ... how do we respond when kids aren't learning?" he said.
Statwide, education officials touted better results.
For the first time, more than half of the state's schools met or surpassed the target score for academic achievement on the Academic Performance Index (API), State Superintendent Tom Torlakson announced in a new conference in Sacramento.
For the first time, 53 percent of schools reached or exceeded an 800 API score in 2012, up 4 percentage points over last year. In 2002, only 20 percent of schools were at or above 800. The state average improved 10 points this year, to 788.

Britton notches first 2012 win with gem
Boston's No. 14 prospect fans seven over five one-hit innings
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 25, 2012 7:53 PM ET
The Red Sox's No. 14 prospect allowed one hit and struck out a season-high seven over five shutout innings as Class A Advanced Salem beat Wilmington, 4-1.
After allowing a leadoff double to Brian Fletcher in the top of the second inning, Britton retired eight straight. The streak ended when he issued a two-out walk to Brian Fletcher.
"I'm extremely happy," he said. "I was locked in. I was concentrated on the task at hand and set myself up to be effective and successful."
Britton, who pitched the entire 2011 season in Salem, has struggled to begin 2012. The 22-year-old left-hander entered Wednesday's start 0-2 with an ERA of 13.86 for the Red Sox and had not won a game since May 7, 2011. Britton lost a league-high 13 games while winning just once and posting an ERA of 6.91 for Salem last season.
"I've watched a lot of video of me this past week from Greenville in 2010 when I was successful and I was able to see what I was doing different," he said. "I've been working as hard as I can to get back to that point and something just clicked tonight and I felt right back on track.
"I've always been, up until the last year or so, the aggressor. I like to go right after guys and I finally got that mentality back that no one is going to beat me. I had that tonight and it definitely showed."
Britton was 2-3 with a 2.97 ERA in 21 starts for the Drive in 2010, his first full season back after having Tommy John surgery in October 2008.
"The feeling I have right now I haven't had for so long, the feeling of success, pitching like the pitcher I know I am," he said. "I felt really good tonight, and given the year I had last year and the three starts this year, I think the feeling I had tonight will never be forgotten. This is the most excited I've been in over a year and I don't want this feeling to go away.
"I'm going to do everything I can to pitch like I did tonight. I want to know that I did everything that I could to pitch like I did tonight."
Command was an issue last season for Britton, as he issued 55 walks in 97 2/3 innings for Salem. This season he's made it a point to improve on that, having walked six batters in 17 2/3 frames.
"Walks are a big part of why I struggled last season," Britton said. "The big thing for me last year was if I fell behind, I thought I was going to walk him. This year I haven't panicked, I knew I would come back and put him away."
Jackie Bradley, Boston's No. 18 prospect, was 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI while Sean Coyle drove in his 13th run of the year for Salem.

SEEING BILL: On Monday we were on our way to Taylor's to buy us a fancy $14 cigar we could enjoy with a jug of American rye whiskey while watching the presidential debate, when we ran into Alan Lowenthal's press secretary Keith Higginbotham, who was going to It's a Grind.
"Hey, you want to go see Bill Clinton endorse Alan on Tuesday at UC Irvine?" he asked.
"No," we said, because Tuesday was the next day and we like to worry a lot longer than that before we agree to anything.
"Come on! I have one ticket left. You'll be down in front. We'll take you on a chartered bus."
"OK," we said, because what are we going to do, spend the whole day arguing?
Not everyone picks up on this, because we're pretty subtle about it, but if we had to pigeonhole ourself (and we'd rather do it ourself than have some of our readers do it) we'd jam us into the liberal pigeonhole, which makes people mad. We can imagine the sort of feedback we'd get if we were to hazard the opinion that William Jefferson Clinton is one of our political heroes, even edging out President Barack Obama, but a couple of steps back from Joe Biden.
Conservatives call Clinton a creep, a liar and a man utterly bereft of principles, but it's difficult to deny his oratory skills and, to a more grudging extent for the right wing, his accomplishments. We've seen Clinton speak before and, this being the end-game days for the campaign, we looked forward to hearing him again.
We showed up Tuesday at 3 p.m. and, because we're accustomed to luxury, we were horrified to see that a couple of yellow school buses had pulled up to Lowenthal's headquarters, just a mile or two from our own headquarters in the Prestigious Plaza.
We slouched into a seat next to the emergency exit - which, on airplanes, our son and we refer to as "the hero seat" - because the hero seat usually has extra legroom. Turns out on school buses, the hero seat, in lieu of extra legroom, features a steel bar running under the seat right about where you don't want a steel bar.
You're going to think we were right in our element, being on a busload of Democrats. In fact, we don't like being on a busload of any one group of people, whether they're football fans or Vegas turnarounders or convicts being transported from county jail to the courthouse.
It's semi-creepy being on a bus packed with Prestigious Plaza Democrats. You feel like you're surrounded by people who buy their Crocenstock shoes by mail order from Vermont and slap dozens of humorless bumper stickers on the rear of their Datsun hatchbacks.
The Lowenthal workers handed out free sandwiches to the bus riders, most of whom asked for "veggie" instead, so the Lowenthalites had to retreat to, we like to imagine, dis-ham the sandwiches.
Once at Irvine, after standing in various lines, we ended up with a great seat next to a swell guy from Solana Beach who wore regular shoes and probably didn't have a beef with ham.
About 5,000 people, probably 4,000 of whom were students, were rocking the Bren Events Center at UCI and, while we don't like being in a bus full of Democrats, it was great being in an arena full of Democrats. The young ones, full of life and hope for change, are better than the old ones who too often come across as grouchy, cynical and tiresomely dogmatic.
The collegians were rumbling like a incipient volcano while Lowenthal and his co-candidates spoke, and then the Bren exploded when Clinton strolled onto the stage.
With his usual eloquence and fervor, Clinton covered the issues in each of the five candidates' wheelhouses: With Lowenthal it was the greening of the Port of Long Beach and a long slam on his unnamed opponent's questioning of the science of global climate change.
Clinton's kind words sent Lowenthal into the sort of unbridled exuberance that cost Howard Dean his party's nomination for president in 2004.
Afterward, as the beaming endorsees headed for stages left and right, Clinton rounded them up and instead herded them like punk-rock ducklings into the political mosh pit in front of the stage, where the entire slate was gobbled up, never to be seen again. At least not by us. We flagged down our photographer friend Thom Wasper and got a ride home in a car. We talked about how we're sort of politicked out for a while, and chatted about books and movies, which is probably what we'll end up writing about more as soon as we get past this election.
We're starting to agree with our detractors.
"I read your Wednesday column on what makes our lives better," a caller said in a phone message because, frankly, we're too terrified to answer anymore. "I'll tell you what would make our lives better: If you and your biased opinions kept out of politics, you loon."
We can live with "loon." If you averaged out every single thing we've been called during this voting season, both good and bad, it would probably come out to "loon."

Attorney General Lockyer Issues Statement on Institute of Medicine Report on Medical Marijuana
(Sacramento)-- Attorney General Bill Lockyer issued the following statement in response to the Institute of Medicine's report titled, "Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base":
"The Institute of Medicine report takes an important step toward answering questions about the medical benefits of marijuana. The report suggests that there is scientific evidence to support its use and encourages further research. Current federal law prohibits doctors from prescribing marijuana and has made medical research difficult. We look forward to the federal government building on this report's findings so that we can wisely implement Proposition 215."

If I get further info I'll post
I dont want to throw a spanner in your works here, but there have been some suggestions as the running order, and things seem to have changed abit. But is it really for the better?
People are still having to come up for both days and also some peoples Absolutes are the day before their weight cats - hows that?
I know you cant make everyone happy - but there seems to have been a change but not real benifit to any of the competitors with relation to the times of the competition.
Is this new timetable final?
I would like to request that the belts have their weight catagorys and absolutes on the same day.
In these hard financial times(with me only working a part time job), many people have said they simpily cant make both dates, and i fall into this catagory, I dont have the cash for a hotel so i can only do one day. Which is a major gutter as i wanted to do both.
Will the people who can only make one day yet want to do both catagorys back me up here lol.
Guys I understand your concerns. This is the running order that Creely and I had off Pedro before he went to lisbon. I won't see him until next week possibly the start of the following now.
I'll have a chat to Greg and Pedro but in all honestly can't see things changing that much.
Not to be a pain in the a*se but have to agree with all the above

The DTA is feeling the heat over the chill on its buses during a recent cold snap and a report that the system carried 1.5 million fewer people in 1962 than during the prior year.

Nation: Thirteen months ahead of their heavyweight title bout, champion Sonny Liston and his 21-year-old challenger Cassius Clay — later Muhammad Ali — are already several rounds into trash talk. The champ wasn't alone in misjudging the contender's potential. The Associated Press report of the prizefighters' meeting at the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Banquet quoted Liston, but gave little credibility to "the loquacious and boastful Clay, who promised to kayo Liston in six." Ali won the 1964 fight with a TKO in seven.

Veteran Woods Harbour fisherman Sandy Stoddard recalls the Miss Ally's final fishing trip. Kathy Johnson photo
By Kathy Johnson
It was with fair winds that Woods Harbour fisherman Sandy Stoddard left the Port LaTour wharf on Sunday, Feb. 10 bound for the fishing grounds along the Scotian Shelf.
"The weather was good," said the veteran fisherman. "We had perfect weather for four or five days."
Stoddard, aboard the Logan and Morgan, his son Chrisjon on the Benji and Sisters, as well as Katlin Nickerson and the crew of the Miss Ally were among the boats on the fishing grounds that week. "Others were fishing to the east of us in an area known as the edge," said Stoddard. "We were in the Gully. The Miss Ally was about 110 to 115 miles away to the southwest."
As fishermen do, Stoddard kept an eye on weather forecasts during the trip, especially two low pressures- one that was forming along the U.S. eastern seaboard and the other coming across from the southern U.S.
With the forecast calling for the two fronts coming together and intensifying, Stoddard made the decision Saturday morning (Feb. 16) that he would haul his gear back that day and head for port the next morning in Arichat. "I called Chrisjon and then contacted Katlin to let him know what was going on," said Stoddard.
"At that point Katlin confirmed to me that he was also going in after he got his gear back," recalled Stoddard. "That night I called him and it was at that point that I learned that they couldn't find their gear."
The Miss Ally had lost use of the power inverter, used to power the bright deck lights and search lights by which fishermen work. Speaking with crewmate Joel Hopkins, the plan was for the Miss Ally to lay anchor that night and get the gear back in the morning, said Stoddard.
When Stoddard contacted the Miss Ally on Sunday morning (Feb. 17), the crew had found the gear and were hauling it in. "I called Katlin again at 6 that evening," said Stoddard. "He was on his way to Sambro at that point and said the northwest wind had just struck."
Stoddard stayed in contact with the Miss Ally until 10:40 p.m. "That was the last time I spoke with Katlin," said Stoddard. At that point he was still en route to Sambro, and while not in any real trouble, had wanted to contact the coast guard to alert them that he was on the way in so they could track him, but the Miss Ally's radio wasn't working so Stoddard made the call.
Twenty-six minutes late the Miss Ally's emergency locator beacon was activated about 120 kilometres south of Liverpool
"I don't think at any point that he was in real trouble," said Stoddard. "I think what happened, happened all at once."
For Stoddard, the tragedy of the Miss Ally hits close to home. "I knew them all," he said. "They were hard working, good young men just making a living."
Billy Jack Hatfield was Stoddard's second cousin. He called Katlin Nickerson, Cole Nickerson, Tyson Townsend and Joel Hopkins "my babies. I took them under my wing to help them out," said Stoddard, sharing his knowledge of the fishing grounds with Katlin. "We communicated all the time," he said.
"I have a lot of respect for Katlin," said Stoddard. "He was an aggressive young man and he was good at what he did. If this was a world of sports he would be classified as the Sidney Crosby of the fishing industry. Any plant owner looking for a kid to skipper a boat, this is the kind of kid they would be looking for." said Stoddard.
Reflecting over the capsizing of the Miss Ally, "There will be many people wondering what if," said Stoddard. "The truth of the matter is the Miss Ally got caught in a storm. The truth of the matter is that Katlin didn't do anything different than any other skipper has done before. The truth of the matter is it's going to be sad around here for a long time."
Stoddard has logged 40 years in the commercial fishery. Like any businessman, Stoddard tries to make the best living that he can with the resources that he has. That means fishing lobster in December at the start of the season and switching to halibut and groundfish from January to March when lobster catches are slow. "This is our livelihood. This is our life," said Stoddard. "As fishermen this is what we do."

Does anyone know of any good venues in Cambodia (either in Phnom Penh or other cities such as Battambang, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville) where I can watch some live fights when I am out there. I am interested to see how it compares to Muay Thai.

Advanced Placement and Credit by
Students who have completed College Board Advance Placement
courses (AP) and earn scores of 3 or higher, will receive credit in
the appropriate discipline. Because the AP proficiency examination
follows the completion of a college-level course taken while the
student is in high school, details may be obtained from the high
school counselor. The AP score should be sent to the Admissions
Office at the time of application or as soon as possible
Placement in English composition is determined through the
students score on the English section of the ACT (American College
Test) or through a writing sample administered to new students. An
ACT English sub-score of 25 or above waives the ENGL 1013
requirement, allowing the student an additional three hours of
elective credit.
Placement in mathematics courses is determined through the
student's score on the mathematics section of the ACT. An ACT
mathematics sub-score of 26 or above waives the mathematics general
education requirement allowing the student an additional three
hours of elective credit.
A maximum of 16 credit hours may be awarded on the basis of
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations for associate
degree programs, and a maximum of 32 hours of CLEP credit may be
applied to baccalaureate degree programs. Lindsey Wilson is an open
CLEP testing center, which means CLEP tests may be taken on campus
and results may be submitted to other institutions as well. A score
of 500 or 50, depending on how the scores are reported, is required
for passing, with the exception of the general examination for
English composition, for which the minimum score is 610.
Course Audit
Special arrangements may be made at the time of registration to
audit courses without receiving credit. An auditor is defined as a
student who attends a course regularly without being required to
take part in recitation, written work, or final examination.
Repeating a Course
Courses in which the student has a final grade of D or F may be
repeated for credit. The grade earned the last time the course is
repeated becomes the official grade for the course.
Transfer Credit Approval
To assure credit for a course(s) accepted in general education
or as a general elective taken at another institution, prior
approval from the Registrar must be obtained. For a course(s) in a
students major, written approval must be obtained from the Division
Chair and the Registrar. Upon completion of the course(s), an
official transcript must be submitted to the Registrar. Transfer
credit is accepted only from regionally accredited two and
four-year colleges.
Block Transfer Credit
Lindsey Wilson recognizes completion of its general education
requirement for those students transferring from KCTCS (Kentucky
Community & Technical College System) institutions who have
completed requirements for General Education Full Certification*
provided grades of C or higher have been earned in all relevant
mathematics and English composition courses. If mathematics or
English composition courses have been taken and grades below C have
been earned, those courses (or equivalent courses) must be repeated
until a grade of at least C is earned.
Note: Students who enter under this policy will be required to
complete three semester hours in religion.
* General Education Full Certification from KCTCS
institutions requires 60 semester hours of course work in writing,
communication, humanities, social interaction, science and
Credit for Military Training
Upon presentation of an authenticated DD 214 Form, Lindsey
Wilson will examine, validate, and may award credit for military
training according to American Council on Education (ACE)
guidelines. Such credit will not exceed 32 credits or 25% of the
credit hours applied toward a degree and will be applied to general
education, elective, or major requirements, according to College
Experiential Learning
Lindsey Wilson does not award academic credit (either graduate
or undergraduate) for experiential/portfolio-based learning and
does not accept student petitions for experiential learning credit.
Credit previously granted by another institution of higher
education for experiential learning will not be taken in transfer
by Lindsey Wilson.
Required in some majors and elective in others, internships give
students the opportunity to apply the skills and understandings
learned in their majors in a professional setting. Internships are
approved by academic programs and developed and supervised by
faculty members. Credit for internships must be pre-approved.
Dual Credit Courses
A dual credit course is one which high school seniors, nominated
by their high school, may take classes at or through Lindsey
Wilson. Any earned credits will count for College credit and may
also count for high school credit, depending upon the high schools
guidelines. In order for Lindsey Wilson to assume full
responsibility for the academic quality of the dual credit courses
it offers, the following conditions must be met:
Financial assistance will not be extended to students enrolled
in dual credit courses. Applicable fees will be applied by the
Business Office and must be paid prior to the beginning of the
course in question. See Tuition and Fees for dual credit tuition
Academic Bankruptcy Policy
A student may request in writing to the Registrar to declare
academic bankruptcy under the following conditions:
When academic bankruptcy is declared, the term Academic
Bankruptcy will be reflected on the transcript for each semester
affected. The phrase "Academic Bankruptcy Implemented" will be
stamped on the transcript for the semester in which bankruptcy
is implemented. Students may declare academic bankruptcy only once.
Students should be aware that academic bankruptcy may not be
recognized by graduate or professional schools.
Petitions for Exceptions to Academic Credit
Petitions requesting exceptions to academic policies are written
to the Academic Affairs Council. Petitions must be submitted by
November 1 for consideration during the fall semester by April 1
for consideration during the spring semester.

Buying Guide: The best inkjet printers and best laser printers around
We help you choose the best printer to buy, both inkjet and laser
In choosing the best printer your first decision is whether to go for a standard printer, or a multi-function device which includes a scanner and which can also work as a standalone copier.
These aren't much larger than regular printers, but they're a whole lot more versatile, especially when you need to keep a copy of a letter, a bill or any other important document, so our first list includes the best inkjet printers and best multi-function devices.
You should also think carefully about whether to invest in an inkjet or a laser. Lasers are usually associated with office environments, where they produce sharp, smudge-free printouts quickly, quietly and economically, but this can be just as useful at home or in a home office.
And don't imagine that mono laser printers are the only option - colour laser printers are now very affordable, and you can even get get multi-function laser printers, too. So we've also come up with a list of the best laser printers, and not just for office users with budgets to burn, but home users looking for value, quality, compactness and ease of use.
So let's firstly look at the best inkjet printers around - hit the second page for the best laser printers. Please remember that the prices shown here are for guidance only.
1. HP DeskJet 1000 – £30
How do they do it for the money? It's not just that this printer is cheap, because with most budget printers you get stung later on with high-priced consumables, but the black and tri-colour ink cartridges for the DeskJet 1000 are pretty reasonably priced, and you can get XL high-capacity versions too.
And for a budget printer, it's pretty fast, with a quoted maximum of 16ppm mono, 12ppm colour. There are no fancy extras - you even have to supply your own USB cable - but it does exactly what it says on the box, providing low-cost, fuss-free printing for as little money as possible.
Buy from Amazon
2. Epson Stylus SX425W - £60
The SX425W gives you a a lot for your money, with built-in memory card slots, wi-fi printing and multi-function scanning and copying. It uses Epson's DURABrite inks, which means that the paper is dry as soon as it emerges from the printer, and you get exceptionally clean, bright and smudge-proof output on plain paper.
Photo output is slightly dull by comparison, though, and like a lot of low-cost printers, the SX425W does cost quite a bit to run. It's perfect though, if you want a versatile yet inexpensive document printer for light or occasional use.
Read our Epson Stylus SX425W review
3. HP Photosmart 7510 - £120
With print quality very high and prices ultra-low, what can multifunction printer manufacturers do to improve on previous models? This new HP Photosmart 7510 sets itself apart by offering a huge range of features, but it also leaves a few behind.
The HP Photosmart 7510 uses five ink tanks: CMYK, plus a pigmented black for clear, waterproof text. It connects to your Mac through USB or to your home network using Wi-Fi b/g/n, and has AirPrint for printing from iOS devices.
Read our HP Photosmart 7510 review
4. Lexmark Genesis S815 - £120
Lexmark's Genesis S815 is full of fresh ideas. Instead of a standard flatbed scanner, this multifunction device uses an image capture system based on a digital camera. It can capture an entire page in three seconds. It boasts a range of integrated mini-applications too. Downloadable apps include a calculator, clock, Facebook and Twitter integration, graph or music paper printing and there's even an app to display news and sports feeds from Apple, ESPN and the BBC. Overall print quality is good, too.
Read our Lexmark Genesis S815 review
5. Canon Pixma MX870 - £150
If you're looking for a stunning printer for your small office or home office, the Canon PIXMA MX870 is for you. Like most recent Canons, it uses a five-tank system with pigmented black for crystal-clear and waterproof text printing. It can't print directly onto optical discs, but its fax facilities and 35-sheet document feeder are probably more use for a small-office machine.
Connectivity is through USB, Ethernet and WiFi. It took almost five minutes to print our 20-page text document, which is a little slow for an office printer, but its print quality is fantastic.
Read our Canon PIXMA MX870 review
6. Kodak ESP 9250 - £160
Kodak's top multi-function printer has a much stronger business slant than its cheaper consumer models. Kodak's drive to reduce running costs means both documents and photos could cost you less in the long run, even though the 9250's initial asking price is quite high.
And because it uses just two separate ink cartridges, it's simple to maintain. Photo output is, actually, a tad disappointing, but if the built-in fax machine, 30-sheet automatic document feeder, wi-fi and Ethernet connectivity make up for that.
Read our Canon Kodak ESP 9250 review
7. Canon Pixma MG8150 - £193
You can sum up this amazing Canon printer in two words; 'no compromises'. It doesn't compromise on print quality. In fact, it has arguably the best print engine of any multiformat inkjet, with stellar photo printing and crystal-clear text. It makes no compromises on speed either. Our 20-page text document printed in just over four minutes, which is entirely acceptable for a home printer. And nor is its feature set compromised. It can do disc onbody printing, automatic Duplex and more. It's an excellent all-round printer.
Buy from Amazon
8. Canon Pixma iP100 - £200
It's fine using a laptop when visit friends, customers or colleagues, but that's a fat lot of good when your printer's back at the office. The portable Pixma iP100 is the answer, printing anything from photos and business cards to regular A4 documents, and at a decent speed, too.
The rechargeable battery's good for up to 300 prints, which is remarkable in itself, and the quality is fine, both for photos and regular documents, so you could even use it as your everyday desktop printer too.
Read our Canon Pixma iP100 review
9. HP Envy 110 All-in-One - £220
This is the ideal printer for those who like a little style with their technology. It's also great for printing from mobile devices. It's AirPrint-compatible, so you can print directly from an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad that's connected to the same wireless network, and HP's useful new ePrint feature means you can print out documents and images from any device that can send an email simply by emailing it to the printer's unique address.
Buy from Amazon
10. Brother MFC-J6910DW - £284
If you need to print in A3, this Brother printer can be bought for under £400. It's as compact as it's possible to be for an A3 multifunction device, sturdily built and has two paper trays so you can load A3 and A4 paper simultaneously, and a rear sheet feeder for the occasional photo paper print or letterhead. Connectivity is through USB, Ethernet or WiFi, and it features an 8.3cm touchscreen.
Like many Brother printers, the MFC-J6910DW's print quality is merely workmanlike. Text is a little grey, and photos are a little over-red. But it's fine for day to day use.

Gosomi Biscuits
Gosomi are fantastic little biscuits with hints of coconut and sesame. They are super thin, very crispy and melt away on your tongue is seconds. The texture is a sensory wonder. The flavor is complex... its light, sweet, a little toasty and distinctly nutty with a taste of coconut. The packaging is very cute though a little odd. A golden yellow wrapper is decorated with fairytale-like illustrations of a little girl and a scooter and a baby rocker. If nothing else, the wrapper accurately (and strangely) conveys the idea of delicacy. I have been enjoying these treats for a while, knowing relatively nothing about them. Trying to add them to ThisNext forced me to do some serious research. Turns out, Gosomi is one of many snacks made by a large company called Orion Corp out of Seoul, Korea. This biscuit was reintroduced back in 2002, though there is nothing else said about its heritage. I did find out that "the sophisticated and modern packaging was designed by Komine Yuri, a Japanese illustrator for creative and mysterious-looking illustrations" Now that I've lectured you, treat yourself to a reward. Get some Gosomi!

Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever Appointed Executive Director of NCNW
July 21, 2010
Women's Media Center is proud to announce that Progressive Women's Voices alumna Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever has been appointed Executive Director of the The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. We look forward to her groundbreaking accomplishments in this new position as she works to amplify women of color's voices and change the conversation. For more information, see NCNW's press release below.For Immediate Release
Contact: Name Joell Royal
Phone 202-383-9126
The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. Appoints Dr. Avis Jones- DeWeever
as the Organization's Youngest Executive Director
(WASHINGTON, DC—JULY 19, 2010)– On July 7, 2010, Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever became the third Executive Director in the history of the National Council of Negro Women and at only 41, also the youngest. Dr. Jones-DeWeever's appointment to Executive Director comes during a time of heightened awareness of the historic civil and women's rights organization. On the heels of the passing of its legendary leader, Dr. Dorothy I. Height, the appointment of its new Chair, Dr. Barbara Shaw, and in the midst of its historic 75th Anniversary, this year has proven to be both tragic and triumphant for the historic organization.
Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and energy to her new role at NCNW. Widely revered as an expert in the fields of Race, Gender, Politics, and Policy, she has devoted her professional life to examining how policies impact the lives of women and communities of color while also seeking to advance effective programmatic solutions to long-standing societal challenges. Her career spans stints at several highly esteemed organizations including the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and the Institute for Women's Policy Research. But it was only at the Council, that Dr. Jones-DeWeever was able to merge her interest in both race and gender on behalf of producing broad-scale social change. Originally joining the organization in 2007 as the Director of its Research, Public Policy and Information Center, Dr. Jones-DeWeever now ascends to the position of Executive Director bringing with her both external and internal perspectives for the benefit of the organization.
"It is both an honor and a privilege to be one of those charged with the worthy cause of continuing the legacy of our esteemed Founder, Dr. Mary McCleod Bethune as well as our long-time visionary and iconic leader, Dr. Dorothy I. Height. I take seriously this responsibility and look forward to introducing NCNW to the next generation of dynamic African American women," stated Jones-DeWeever. "I have no doubt," she continued, "that together, women from all across this nation will bond together at this critical time to not only continue the legacy that has been bequeathed to us by our tremendous forerunners, but to usher in a new era of relevancy, action, and impact in communities all across this nation and around the world."
Dr. Jones-DeWeever is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Virginia State University and holds a Ph.D. in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park where she studied under tremendous scholars such as Drs. Linda Williams, Ronald Walters, and Clarence Stone. She brings to NCNW an impressive background as a published author, public speaker, policy analyst, and strategist. Not a stranger to high profile situations, Dr. Jones-DeWeever has appeared on multiple major television and radio networks including CNN, C-SPAN, ABC, PBS, NPR, Sirius/XM, BBC and American Urban Networks among others. She has also been quoted in numerous major print publications including the Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Times and Essence and Glamour magazines. Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever is available for interviews. For more information and/or to schedule an interview call (202-737-0120), go online to (ww.ncnw.org) or email (email@example.com).

But how to make BackTrack require to enter root password before startx? i installed a BT as a persistent USB system, so it does not require password at all..
I just used start-network and wicd-gtk instead of wicd-client. And it works for me. By the way I'm using BackTrack 4r2. Also if the network doesn't start automatically you can always install bum (boot up manager)
It should be under System in the K-menu. And just look for wicd in the Boot Up Manager wizard.Code:root@bt~# apt-get install bum
I like to type startx but now I wanna go with something different and so I say thank you. I've seen this post many times but I just said I would do it later. Well later is now and I say, "Thank You lordplagueis for this".
Reading is the first step to education, critical thinking is a whole 'nother matter
But how to make BackTrack require to enter root password before startx? i installed a BT as a persistent USB system, so it does not require password at all..
you open a terminal to run command
then you enter whatever commands you would like to run upon root user login. for instance;Code:nano /root/.bash_profile
then save the file using the CTRL and letter O keys, and enter to confirm the file name. Is that spoon enough? (ah, but remember the truth of the matter.... There is no spoon)
cool, thanks for the response, I feel like an idiot now,
But what if I want to change it back to manual login >> root / toor ???
Hi there, im new to bt4.
Is there a possibility to auto login at all?
I've had bt3 on usb and it was logging automatically to root without typing any passwords and stuff.
All u guys wrote here is true, but the autologin part just seems to be impossible... You talk about stuff that u can "do" after login. It would be cool to have it automatic (or at least the gui mode for logging).
My problem is that i've f** smth up at the pre-installation part cause I've got completely different keybord layout at the logging... On kde it's ok, it loads the right layout...
So every time im logging in, i have to find those letters kinda crappy, dont u think?
Thanks for this!!!
I have a question tho, how can I add "irqpoll" to the boot command? I have to add this in the GRUB before I can boot BT and its starting to make me mad
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this useful info...
nano /root/.bash_profile
ctrl+o #WriteOut (o=letter, NOT a zero)
enter #save
ctrl+x #Exit
the command u gave not work with BT4 R2..how do i autologin for BT4 R2..please help me..

SNOWBOARDER realizes that a lot of people looking at this gallery are basically cyber-shred stalkers who oogle their monitors at each glance of a female pro snowboarders backside. We have decided to make creeping out a whole lot easier by including a link to each featured female riders Facebook page. No need to thank us. When you are done friend requesting these ladies be sure to so the same at our Facebook page.
Photos: Espen Lystad
Words: Jenna Klein
There are many words associated with the female breed and their overall athletic stamina and endeavors, but the word I'd like to associate with the women of the 2010 Ms. Superpark 6 is perseverance. While braiding hair and painting toenails would have been an ideal activity during the foggy, windy and heavily precipitating weather, babes sacked up and strapped in to prove their worth.
With some still lagging in the lodge, others boldly made their own session happen on the bottom step down. This oversized wedge was bucking babes sky high, but after a few speed checks, ladies like Kimmy Fasani and Melissa Evans led the charge and logged some landings. Kimmy's smoothly sailed front 5's put the clouds on halt and boosted the energy level around the jump in a non-hippy sort of way. Lynn Neil neared a back 7, which I wouldn't doubt gets landed before she goes home and Melissa Evans floated a stylish back 3 before the session shut down. As the clouds creeped in, a selective few headed up to the pole jam feature to salvage some shots despite the weather.
Though we're not at liberty to crown a standout just yet, that doesn't mean Jess Kimura hasn't garnered attention as the force that can't be stopped. Not even halting for a chainsaw as it cut down the lip, Jess bravely called out acclaimed park staffer Clayton Shoemaker to hit the feature first and kick off the session. With nerves slightly at ease, Jess began setting the standard on the wall and grabbing stale in no time. Closely following suit was Desiree with smooth tail grabs and Melissa Evans who's clean front one's into the wall ride set off the cheerleading section.Though the session was discontinued until the sun went down, night owl's Mary Rand and Lynn Neil came back to perform under the lights. Lynn deserves a gleaming gold star for her dedication to getting the shot despite it being 10 at night, snowing on and off and not exactly optimum visibility.
All this hard work on Day 2 of the 2010 Ms Superpark presented by Gatorade entitled everyone to a night of Big Bear ballads at Murray's Saloon, where karaoke killers Nataska Zurek surprisingly sang Sublime, Creepy Kyle put down some questionable verses and even Snowboarder's own Pat Bridges pulled out Motörhead from his repertoire. Check back for video and photographic proof that the princesses of Ms. Superpark 6 are putting down womaneuvers both on and off the hill.

As if making the best beef jerky wasn't enough, now try TURKEY PERKY JERKY, just as good, if not better than the original! Frequently Asked Questions What is Perky Jerky?Perky Jerky is an ultra premium, all natural jerky; you no longer need to spend your next road trip eating boring regular beef jerky. Perky Jerky is a delicious, healthy, low carb snack that helps you step up your game! Are you @#$^$^!@ serious?Perky Jerky never joke about meat snacks. Perky Jerky is as real as it gets, as the world's first energizing jerky that will leave your mouth watering and your body ready for action. Who in tarnation would come up with something like this?Perky Jerky was dreamt up and developed by a brave group of souls called the Perky Jerks, who work at the Performance Enhancing Meat Snacks Inc. in Denver, Colorado. What is Guarana?Guarana is a plant that is native to Brazil which bears a fruit that is quite similar to the coffee bean. It is a natural energy source, and also adds a great flavor profile. What does it taste like?Well, taste is a subjective thing, but as jerky connoisseurs, the Perky Jerks were very careful in crafting a jerky that tastes much better than any rubbery stale jerky that is out there today. That's right, they are taking jerky upscale. It's the filet mignon of jerky, and the flavor profile keeps you coming back for more... Who knows, they may even make some more flavors down the road, but then again, why mess with perfection? What do you mean, "Perky Jerky is your brand"?Somewhere along the way, the Perky Jerks realized that they know how to make great jerky, but they are not mind readers. It is very difficult in this day and age to know what people want, and how they want to hear about it. They do know that these days, people are more than happy to tell you what they think-whether it's via Facebook, Twitter, email, snail mail, semaphore, or just a good old fashioned phone call. That's why they have decided to "Crowdsource" some of the major brand decisions. What is crowdsourcing? It's just a fancy way of saying that they are going to ask their fans to help decide their promotional strategy, like whether they should sponsor your favorite NASCAR driver, or X Games athlete, or stand up comic. You can see a great example of what they have already done here. So, if you are a true fan, give them your feedback, and they will use the best suggestions that come along. What charity do Perky Jerky support?The Perky Jerks are doing this for a great cause. They decided to take the Paul Newman route and devote a significant amount of the proceeds from Perky Jerky to charity. They strongly support The Foundation For Their Sake, which is devoted to research and care for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Down Syndrome. About Perky JerkyPerky Jerky story -- like most good stories -- begins with two Jerks in a ski lodge. After a long, hard night of energy-drink-cocktail-fueled libation, these jerks settled in while the winter storm raged outside. The next morning they awoke, loaded up their gear, and headed out to the mountain. Amongst this gear was an open bag of peppered beef jerky, which had, unfortunately became drenched in some of the energy drink that had been carelessly spilled the night before. On the first lift up, it made no difference. To these jerks, jerky was the only breakfast they needed, altered or not. Much to their delight, the jerky had retained its original flavor, but was more tender by the accident. What's more, as they floated their way down the mountain through bottomless powder, they realized they'd been given an extra boost - the jerky had taken on some of the pep of the energy drink. On the next lift ride up, the greatest innovation in jerky since cracked pepper was born. Since then, these Jerks developed a very sophisticated process for making Perky Jerky. The result? Just the best tasting, most tender jerky around. The bonus? Perky Jerky is now the ultimate snack to help get you up the mountain, down the slope, or off on whatever adventure you decide.
