Sword-and-Sandal Epics Be Damned, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Movies set in Ancient Rome always do well at the box office. Why not Ancient Greece? "What is Hollywood to do with a world of 1,000 competing city-states, where homoeroticism was institutionalized and philosophers were more interested in the rationale for Platonic love than for war? … Greek tales would be better treated as supernatural thrillers. Imagine the real, lived historical experience for the ancient Greeks: the day-to-day jeopardy of knowing there was a fickle spirit in every breath of wind and ear of grain; that malicious deities might be lurking around the corner, shape-shifting to have their way with you."
- David Lynch, whose suspiciously mercantile interests I've complained about before, is now designing women's luxury activewear. "The special collection features 'limited edition David Lynch Floral' print leggings, sports bras, shorts, and one very plain T-shirt, none of which are priced below $100."
- Why are so many cities building "innovation districts"? "Dozens of cities across the United States, Europe, South America, and East Asia are cultivating local utopias of entrepreneurship … These districts represent a mash-up of research institutions, corporations, start-ups, and business incubators, intermixed with 'innovative housing,' neighborhood amenities, and cultural sites in a clean energy, Wi-Fi-enabled environment … But is crowding a bunch of people into a few city blocks really the way to make creative sparks fly?"
- Joan "Tiger" Morse "was a mod fashion designer in the mid 1960s … As the proprietress of the Teeny Weeny, her pop boutique located on Madison Avenue at 73rd Street, Morse sold mini dresses and other fashion oddities that used primarily man-made fabrications. With her frequent collaborator Diana Dew, Morse turned out illuminated mini dresses that would glow in myriad colors, all powered by a small battery pack worn at the waist."
- "The secret beating heart of the dream office is the stationery cupboard, the ideal kind, the one that opens to enough depth to allow you to walk in and close the door behind you. No one does close the door—it would be weird—but the perfect stationery cupboard is one in which you could be perfectly alone with floor-to-ceiling shelves laden with neat stacks of packets, piles and boxes, lined up, tidy, everything patiently waiting for you to take one from the top, or open the lid and grab a handful."

PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- When Christmas falls right in the middle of the week, those working on the holiday might just be more productive than those taking the holiday off.
A survey by the Workforce Institute at Kronos and Harris Interactive conducted last year suggested that working on the holiday not only isn't rare, but is fairly ordinary for many Americans. Roughly 38% of all full-time workers took off on Christmas Eve last year, while 26% of full-time workers said their workplaces were closed for the entire span between Christmas and New Year's Day.
That's been changing rapidly since the end of the recession, when only 14% of people took Christmas Eve off in 2007. Granted, 32% of people took the entire time between Christmas and New Year's off that year, compared with just 18% last year, but even a modest, sputtering economic recovery makes a whole lot more work for everybody.
The Kronos survey found that despite all the time off, 68% of respondents said it was "business as usual" at their office. Meanwhile, 17% said December was their busiest time of year, while only 15% said their workplace was "a ghost town." Surveys of company executives by temporary staffing agency Accountemps regularly rank Tuesday as the most productive day of their employees workweek. That goes out the window when everyone is counting down the minutes until their day off, but that's where a willing holiday staff comes in.
There are few places where this is more true than the restaurant industry. Antonio Prontelli, the executive chef at Rock Center Cafe in the shadow of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, recently gave Metro a step-by-step schedule of his Christmas day that includes getting up at 4:30 a.m., has an early Christmas morning with his kids, arrives at his restaurant at 6 a.m. and prepares food until 1 a.m. By the time he gets home, he's pulled a 22-hour day and fed 1,000 to 1,200 people. By contrast, refusing to work on Christmas resulted in a British chef's firing earlier this season.

PHOTO: Angelina Jolie meets her Maleficent match - in drag
(Yahoo!) - That Brad Pitt assailant wasn't the only one who upstaged Angelina Jolie on the Maleficent red carpet Wednesday night...
Ladies and gentlemen, we present Shokra!
The performance artist (whose real name is Russell Barslou), who went full Maleficent for the premiere at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre, made a big impression on the titular villainess herself. Jolie paused from her autograph-signing, photo-posing, question-answering duties to mug for the camera with Shokra, who nailed the Oscar winner's fierce, pouty stare.
Disney executives invited Shokra to the premiere after seeing how good he looked as the horned fairy queen during a club performance a couple of weeks earlier. Luke Nero and Andrés Rigal, promoters at Eleven nightclub in West Hollywood, had rechristened their popular Saturday night party Plastic Fantastic the "Night of 1,000 Maleficents" — and Shokra stole the show in a costume of his own creation.
Calling the Sleepy Beauty baddie character one of his "all-time favorites," Shokra came dressed in a skintight black dress, horns, collar, full makeup, and a scary set of eyebrows.
"What I do for a living is costume design and production," he explains. "I've been doing it for 17 years. I created the horns and the collar and the shrug myself and it came together super well. My whole aesthetic for the drag that I do is very theatrical and over the top. I'm not so much a female impersonator as I am a performer."
A group of Disney suits attended the "Night of 1,000 Maleficents" party and posed with Shokra for pics. Those pics then made it all the way back to Jolie, who loved them. Then Shokra and Luke got the invite from Disney to come to the premiere.

Border agent kills man who threw rock at him
(NEWSER) – A US Border Patrol agent who claims he feared for his life after a rock hit his head reacted by shooting and killing the man who hurled the stone. It marks the ninth fatal shooting involving rock throwing since 2010. The unnamed agent was patrolling a smuggling trail east of San Diego early Tuesday when he came upon men suspected of crossing the border illegally; rocks were thrown at him, with one hitting his head.
The San Diego Union-Tribune describes one of them as being as large as a basketball, and many of the rest fist-sized. The APreports that the incident fuels an ongoing debate over whether lethal force is justified as a response to rock attacks. The Border Patrol has long maintained that rocks are deadly weapons, and has rejected proposals that would prevent it from responding to them with deadly force.

Please note. Starting in fall 2014, the Choose Red Grant replaces the Kansas Grant. The Choose Red Grant will allow new, incoming regularly admitted students whose permanent residence is one of the eight states bordering Missouri to pay in-state tuition and fees for all classes on the main campus in Warrensburg. Missouri's eight eligible border states are:
It's okay to think outside of state lines when it comes to choosing your education. The University of Central Missouri's Kansas Grant program, beginning for students entering fall semester 2012, makes it possible to be a resident in Kansas and a student in Missouri. The Kansas Grant, formerly known as Stateline Grant, allows fully admitted students whose permanent residence is in one of 15 Kansas counties to pay the equivalent of Missouri tuition and fees for all classes taught on the main campus in Warrensburg.
|I choose red because I pay in-state costs as an out-of-state student.
Kansas counties included in the Kansas Grant program are:
*Counties part of the Kansas grant, but not the Stateline grant
To apply, simply submit your application for admission and be sure to indicate your permanent county of residence. Upon receiving the Kansas Grant, you will be automatically considered for renewal, as long as your legal residence continues to be one of the 15 participating Kansas counties.
For more information about the Kansas Grant program, undergraduate students may contact the UCM Office of Student Financial Services. Graduate students should contact the Office of the Graduate School.
Don't limit your options. Choose Red.

The full-size pickup truck segment has never been more popular, or more competitive. With its 2016 Silverado 1500, Chevrolet has staked its claim once again as king of the hill. The 2016 Silverado boasts a refined level of comfort, sophistication and brute force not found in trucks from Ford and Ram, specifically in the all-aluminum range of engines, where Chevy has laid claim to the most fuel-efficient V8 found in a full-size truck. In fact, at 23 mpg on the highway, the 5.3L unit provides a better return than the turbocharged V6 employed in the Ford F-150. Add in the fact that Chevy managed to make so many innovative changes while keeping the base price steady, and it's no surprise that the Silverado is a hit.
Compare the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 against similar models
For 2016, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 includes several minor updates. The front end is slightly revised, with better-integrated headlights, including bi-halogen projectors and LED accents. Inside, HD radio returns, and there's a remote locking tailgate, as well as optional power-retractable side steps on Crew Cab models. The Z71 package is now offered only on 4WD Silverados. Finally, a new 8-speed automatic transmission is standard on Silverados with the 6.2L V8 as well as 5.3L Silverados outfitted in LTZ, LTZ/Z71 and High Country trims.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the smoothest-riding, most carlike of the full-size, light-duty pickups, and it boasts a wide range of configurations, powertrains and trim.
The current-generation Silverado was introduced as a 2014 model, which brought better fuel economy, nicer interiors, and the latest technology. 2015 and 2016 models brought minor updates, highlighted by slightly revised styling for 2016.
2016 Silverado 1500 models have one headlight on each side in place of the pair of stacked headlights on 2014-2015 models. The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 also gets distinctive new grille designs for each trim level, a more sculpted hood, new LED parking lights, and new headlights (HIDs with LED signature on WT, LS, LT; LEDs with LED signature on LTZ and High Country).
An 8-speed automatic transmission is available for more models than previously, including the 2016 Silverado High Country and LTZ with the 5.3-liter engine. Chevrolet MyLink offers improved performance plus Apple CarPlay capability for 2016, with 8-inch touchscreens on upper models, 7-inch touchscreens standard. New features available on 2016 Silverado 1500 models include a remote locking tailgate, power-articulating assist steps, Android Auto capability, wireless phone charging, high-beam assist, and Lane Keep Assist.
Silverado 1500 competes with Ram 1500, Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan, and GMC Sierra 1500. Silverado and Sierra differ mainly in appearance and trim. Silverado looks sportier and more adventurous, Sierra looks classier and more conservative.
With their large engines and steel bodies and structure, the GM pickups are more traditional than the Ford F-150, built with extensive use of aluminum and small, turbo engines.
The Silverado boasts a refined, comfortable interior, boatloads of technology, and the aforementioned smooth ride. Its boxy styling complements that of the 2500 HD versions.
Three engines, called EcoTec3, are available: The 4.3-liter V6 is rated at 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque and comes with a 6-speed automatic. The 5.3-liter V8 is rated 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, with a 6-speed automatic standard and an 8-speed automatic on upper models. The 6.2-liter V8 is rated 420 hp, 460 lb-ft of torque, and comes with the 8-speed. Though traditional in size, these engines are all-aluminum, with the latest in direct injection and variable valve timing.
The 8-speed features a wider ratio spread than that of the 6-speed: The 8-speed has a numerically higher first gear to help when starting off with a trailer or a heavy load, and it has a numerically lower rear axle ratios, which reduce engine rpm at highway speeds. EPA-estimated fuel economy doesn't improve, but being able to go lower and higher, with more choices in between, is theoretically better in the real world.
Best fuel economy is the 4.3-liter V6 with an EPA-rated 18/24 mpg City/Highway. The 5.3-liter V8 is rated 16/23 mpg with the 6-speed automatic, 16/22 with the 8 speed. The 6.2-liter rates 15/21 mpg.
A Silverado 1500 with the 6.2-liter offers up to 12,000 pounds of towing capacity, though we'd recommend a Silverado 2500 for trailers anywhere close to that weight.
Trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, hill start assist, and, of course, rearview cameras make towing trailers easier. Stabilitrak electronic stability control and an automatic locking rear differential improve handling stability when driving an empty truck in the rain.
Silverado floors seem lower than those of most of the other trucks, so getting in and out of a Silverado often seems easier and lifting heavy sacks of feed into the bed is easier.
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models come in Regular Cab, Double Cab, and Crew Cab versions, with a choice of bed lengths. Powertrains: 4.3-liter V6 with 6-speed automatic, 5.3-liter V8 with 6- or 8-speed automatic, 6.2-liter V8 with 8-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive (4WD) and rear-wheel drive (2WD) are available.
Silverado 1500 has square lines and high shoulders, rendering a conservative but imposing appearance. Riding at the same height as that of the heavy-duty Silverado 2500, its dual-dome hood looks way up there when standing alongside the truck.
Whether the new front-styling treatment with redesigned grille for 2016 is more attractive is debatable, but it looks a little different and therefore fresher. The grille drops down in the middle, but the overall effect is that the front looks more linear. Upper models sport more bright trim.
Crew Cabs have large rear doors that make getting in and out easier, with enough space to comfortably swing feet through. Double Cab extended-cab models use doors that hinge normally, and they offer usable space for rear passengers.
The pickup beds come in the traditional 8-foot length, along with short-bed 5-foot, 8-inch and 6-foot, 6-inch lengths. Slots cut into the corners of the rear bumper make stepping up to grab something out of the bed easier, a great idea carried forward from the original Avalanche.
The Silverado interior is nicely trimmed, with soft-touch material used in the places you're likely to touch. Large knobs make it easy to control basic functions at a glance, even when wearing gloves.
Noise levels are comparable to those in SUVs.
Top of the line is the Silverado High Country, with special leather and wood used in the interior, along with more features.
The Chevrolet Silverado interiors seem nicer and more comfortable than those found in the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan.
By pickup truck standards, the Chevy Silverado boasts a nice, smooth ride. Handling is relatively responsive, again for a full-size pickup. Ride quality is noticeably more refined when compared with previous-generation Silverado models, or any full-size pickup from more than a couple of years ago.
Electric steering and four-wheel disc brakes designed for durability are standard equipment.
The 4.3-liter V6 runs smoothly, benefitting from a balance shaft. We used it to tow a camping trailer that weighed about 4700 pounds, and found no difficulty merging into fast traffic or powering up tall grades.
The 5.3-liter V8 is the most popular choice, rating 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, and we found it delivers quick acceleration performance. Maximum rated towing capability with this engine is 11,500 pounds, though a Silverado 2500 would work better for a trailer that heavy.
The 6.2-liter V8 is the most powerful choice, with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. A Silverado High Country with the 6.2-liter is rated to tow up to 12,000 pounds. Beyond 10,000, however, we would start thinking about a Silverado 2500 for its superior stability and tongue-weight capacity.
Cylinder deactivation is used by all three engines, which can run on just four cylinders when cruising or slowing down for improved fuel economy. These are all-aluminum engines for lighter weight, and feature the latest in continuously variable valve timing and direct injection.
We have found both the 6-speed and the 8-speed automatics to be smooth operators. Fuel economy has not been shown to be better with the 8-speed, but we would still prefer it for the added flexibility, assuming it proves reliable.
Chevy Silverado is arguably the classic pickup, with straightforward styling, a smooth ride, and traditional-style engines. The V6 is fuel efficient and a good choice, the big 6.2-liter V8 is powerful for stronger towing, but most buyers will likely settle for the 5.3-liter V8 for its all-around capability.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

THE SMITH TAPES, COLLECTION #2: AQUARIAN THEATER Set for Release on iTunes, 12/18
Unearthed after more than forty years and unheard since their original airing, the recordings of Village Voice "Scenes" columnist and radio personality HoWard Smith are now available for the first time. Containing over 100 interviews, The Smith Tapes will be released in monthly installments on digital retailers iTunes and Amazon. Collection #1: Fillmore East was released on November 20 with Collection #2: Aquarian Theater due December 18. The latest collection contains interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda, Jim Morrison, Arlo Guthrie, James Rado and Gerome Ragni and Dick Gregory. See full track listing and details below.
During his tenure as the host of a nationally syndicated WPLJ-FM weekend program Smith conducted interviews with well-known musicians and notable cultural figures between 1969 and 1972. These tapes include revealing personal conversations with Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, Jim Morrison, Buckminster Fuller, Abbie Hoffman, Jane Fonda, Hugh Hefner, Dr. John, Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Pete Townsend, Arlo Guthrie, Bill Graham, Norman Mailer, D.A. Pennebaker and many more. Smith sat down with John Lennon and Yoko Ono no less than five time. The Smith Tapes recently completed their Kickstarter campaign to release a limited edition, hand numbered box set of more than 12 CD's of 18 conversations and a cassette shaped USB drive containing Smith's extensive interview with Hugh Hefner and his hourly dispatches from Woodstock.
With each interview, The Smith Tapes creates an unscripted time capsule of a period of extraordinary cultural transformation. Smith had an unique knack for meeting artists at seminal moments including Mick Jagger just weeks before The Rolling Stones Concert at Altamont, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda directly following their the debut of Easy Rider at The Cannes Film Festival, Pete Townshend during The Who's rock opera Tommy performance at The Metropolitan Opera, Andy Warhol after his shooting and Janis Joplin just before her deatH. Smith locked away these original interview reels in a crate for more than 40 years in his loft in New York's Village. Upon discovery, the tapes were carefully digitized and edited.
HoWard Smith is an Oscar winning film director, journalist and broadcaster. As a writer for more than thirty years, his articles have appeared in Playboy, The New York Times. He had a weekly column "Scenes" during the formative years of The Village Voice. In 1972, Smith produced and directed the Oscar winning feature-length documentary film "Marjoe" about evangelist Marjoe Gortner.
The Smith Tapes are being released by Ezra Bookstein in conjunction with Cass Smith, Howard's son. Bookstein has been working in documentary films and television programming for the last 15 years. When Bookstein was contacted about this incredible collection of reels, The Smith Tapes were born. Working with the interviews, Bookstein "found them more engaging then if they were filmed. Without the visuals to get in the way, to distance you, one can experience the conversation almost as a participant." Cass Smith is an architect and discovered the interviews while helping his father clean out his apartment and has been looking for the right vehicle to bring them to life.

an sorry if I'm wrong
hi! after the last updates dhcpd3 has a problem starting.
it appears on startup and even when i restart it the problem still remains! for example when i start airsnarf (which btw doesn't work properly - is it because of dhcpd3?) this is the output:
sendmail also takes more than a minute to start but i will work on fixing that. i know that i should change my /etc/hosts but i'll let you know as soon as i figure out the exact fix.Code:root@k0niek-laptop:/pentest/wireless/airsnarf# ./airsnarf Airsnarf - A rogue AP setup utility. 0.2 The Shmoo Group ------------------------------------ Creating dhcpd.conf...Done.

sorry I posted the same topic again by mistake but i guess it is not going to be uploaded. in the new topic i also included the fix for sendmail. here it is just in case:
edit /etc/hosts to

so has anyone managed to make airsnarf work?
I don't know about airsnarf but when I run airmon I get a message that "one or more procceses may cause arirmon to fail <pid> dhcpd3 ". I just run kill <pid> (for dhcpd3)
and restart airmon and everything seems to work.

Finding worthy products for price-conscious custom homes is a tough gig. But if you love the hunt like we do, it's bound to reward everyone involved. Yes, your products must prove penny-wise, but they can't look cheap or perform poorly. They must withstand the rigors of everyday life at least as well as their more precious counterparts.
Admittedly, cheap is in the eye of the budget holder, but we think the collection on the following pages is a bargain at twice the price.

text: Ok season ends today, Cowboys have the 13th pick or something like that. I focus all of my FA$ on two guys: Jarius Byrd and Greg Jennings. I am re-signing Spencer on either a four year or franchising him again. Jenkins is a goner, along with Coleman. Leaves the team with the ability to focus mainly on the pass rush and the oline. Draft wise, I look to trade down and with the 'Boys drafting 13th it may open the door for a team looking to move up to get a QB if one should fall. However since we have zero idea of who finishes where I will resist the temptation: 1.Damontre Moore, OLB-Guy is a beast off the edge and by all accounts a real leader with a high IQ. Let's face it DWare has a history of neck issues and as the TExans have proved you can never have enough pass rushers. 2.Sheldon Richardson, DE-I am not sure if this guy lasts until early second rd, but if he does JJ should be all OVER him. Awesome motor, a little swaggar and a toughness lacking in the front seven currently. 3.Omoregie Uzzi, G-Underrated player who will thrive in Callahan's scheme. 4.Stepfan Taylor, RB-I banking on this kid dropping a bit because rb's have lost value overall and he doesn't wow you in any one part of the game...but what he is, is just a good football player. 5.Kyle Long, OT-Developmental guy with football in his blood. Talent is there, and if Callahan can coax it out of him he will be a starter and a good one at that. 6.Eric Gordon, CB-Can return kicks and has potential as a CB.

Other troopers used a police car as a shield as they carried Dickson inside.
As Palmer did what she could to assist Dickson, another shot rang out.
She could have just sought safety inside, but she returned to Dickson.
But the most dangerous kind, Dickson says, is the emotional kind, because it keeps people trapped.
He saw Dickson as he came around the front of the building and was starting toward him when a fourth shot rang out.
The preparation of the present volume has been undertaken by Mr. Dickson at my request.
In July they had a visit from Mrs. Dickson, the only daughter of Smeaton.
Her words revealed to Dickson the preposterousness of the whole situation, and for all his anxiety he laughed.
Again, in 1870, Mr Dickson paid the expenses of a voyage to Greenland.
"I'd want more than a look," and Mr. Dickson clenched both his hands.

Obamacare Suffers Big Blow In Federal Court Ruling
In a big blow to the Obama administration, a federal court is striking down some subsidies in the healthcare reform law. A 2-1 ruling from the DC Court of Appeals rejected insurance subsidies for coverage on federally-run health insurance exchanges. The ruling says the subsidies can only be paid through state-run exchanges. More than 30 states rely on the federal government to run the new health insurance exchanges under the healthcare law. The ruling is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

New Mexico: Supreme Court Will Decide Whether Businessman Ran Sweepstakes Or Gambling Games
The New Mexico Supreme Court heard a case this week involving Las Cruces businessman Michael T. Vento, who is accused of running a gambling enterprise out of his Internet café. A state Court of Appeals last year overturned Vento's conviction of commercial gambling, a fourth-degree felony. He lost his business in July 2008 after the state Gaming Control Board raided it and seized his 21 computer terminals. Gov. Susana Martinez, a district attorney when Vento was operating his Las Cruces café, prosecuted him for commercial gambling. Vento, 64, said he only provided his customers a chance to win sweepstakes prizes.
Cumberland County, NC: Sweepstakes Café Raid Nets Machines And Money
The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office raided an underground business in the town of Eastover, seizing four gambling machines and $1,800. The types of machines seized on Aug. 15 were described as "old-style Las Vegas videogames." Internet sweepstakes cafés were prohibited last year in North Carolina, where the NC Supreme Court ruling upheld the state's decision to close them. Earlier this year, Cumberland County deputies, and authorities elsewhere in the state, raided cafés that remained open in their jurisdictions. As a result, some sweepstakes businesses have opened inside homes and other discreet locations. The Eastover site raided this week was inside a house next to a church.
Hayward, CA: Internet Cafés Can Stay Open -- For Time Being
A federal court ruled that Hayward, CA's sweepstakes café moratorium could not be enforced because it was overly broad. In February, the City Council passed an ordinance shutting down the cafés, which operate computer terminals featuring sweepstakes games considered to be illegal gambling. Owners of two Hayward cafés filed suit against the city in federal court. Hayward officials are drafting a new ordinance that will be presented to the City Council this fall. In the interim, the city's three Internet cafés can remain open.
Merritt Island, FL: Café Reopens -- Without Prizes
The Coconuts Internet Café, among the thousand or so electronic sweepstakes parlors in Florida forced close in April, is giving it a go without prizes. For $10, patrons can only play games, use the Internet and socialize. But will it catch on with gamers? One regular says, "no."

Rash Of "Superhero" crimes breaking out in California
(San Clemente, CA) -- A rash of crimes involving superheroes appears to be breaking out around Southern California. The FBI has released pictures of a man wearing an Iron Man mask robbing a Citibank in San Clemente last week. Instead of special missiles and other Iron Man weapons, the man used a handgun to hold up the bank before fleeing with an unknown amount of cash. The incident comes just says after a street performer dressed as Spider-Man stole $6,000 from a tour operator in Hollywood.

Magnolia Style has a background floral patter that gives the effect of a brocade, but on paper instead of fabric. Graceful swirls of stylized leaves and flowers, rendered in low-contrast color combinations, gives this subtle, soft pattern an unusually interesting, almost glowing, sheen. The main font is a classic script style that incorporates a liberal amount of flourishes and swashes, and the small script is a classic serif font that is made of large and small capital letters, not upper and lower case letters. This style looks great on all papers, but is especially charming on our pearlescent paper, where the subtle shifts of color in the pattern gives it an iridescent, almost metallic sheen. Customize Magnolia labels today!
Note: Waterproof labels are not guaranteed to withstand a trip through the dishwasher because some dishwasher detergents are caustic and may cause the inks to dissolve.

Deep in the recesses of Fiske Planetarium is a film production studio that is not visible to the public. This cool, dimly lit room, which feels more like a very high-tech cave, houses an impressive collection of digital film production equipment and is home to a small team of staff and students.
Staff here are working on educational films that will be screened at Fiske as well as other planetariums across the country. It is not a large team, considering the professional level of the educational films they are producing. Kurt Ross, a CU-Boulder senior majoring in molecular, cellular and developmental biology and film production, is sitting at a computer working on creating animations that illustrate certain concepts of the film they are producing.
"Working at Fiske has been incredibly beneficial to me," said Ross. "It's a great way to ease into the industry because there are so many knowledgeable people around who understand the student schedule and mind. Students get cutting-edge experience, and the planetarium gets skilled and motivated artists for cheap. It benefits everyone involved, including those who contract us."
In the planetarium's main auditorium, Chloe Stabler, an astrophysics and psychology double major, is operating the dome (a 65-foot diameter, ultra high-definition screen). As a show operator, Stabler oversees everything that happens in the theater during shows. This includes displaying images on the dome as well as providing the live narration that goes along with it. After graduation, Stabler hopes to continue in the field of science education, but outside of the classroom.
"I feel there's a lot that can be offered in terms of scientific public outreach and learning that doesn't have to be in a formal classroom with grades and tests," she said. "Fiske is a great place to get to talk to people about science and astronomy, no matter their age or what they do. My favorite part of doing shows is when people come up afterwards to ask questions or talk more about the subject."
In addition to a handful of full-time staff, the planetarium relies heavily on a team of up to 40 student workers at a time in order to operate, according to Doug Duncan, Fiske Planetarium director and astrophysical and planetary sciences professor.
"Because of the many students who work here, Fiske is able to competitively deliver outstanding programming to the university and to the public, and many students are able to use it as a resource to build their careers while they are at CU-Boulder," Duncan said. "They eventually graduate and leave with strong professional references and the experience to get jobs, be it in film, advertising, or delivering educational programming to the public."
But Fiske provides another world of benefits to students, and not just ones that are related to astrophysics.
As education programs manager at Fiske, Matthew Benjamin works with faculty across disciplines to find those synergies between their needs for an immersive teaching tool and the technology that Fiske offers. For example, Benjamin explains that for faculty who do computer modeling of data, Fiske can be a great place to present it to their students in a very compelling way. And because of his experience with both curriculum development and also the technological capabilities of the planetarium, Benjamin is able to collaborate with them to figure out how best to use the planetarium as a teaching tool.
"The key is that we tailor their materials to meet the exact needs that they have, be it coursework and materials for K-12 education or for CU-Boulder's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences," said Benjamin. "This isn't just a place to drop off your students. We want to collaborate with you long before you bring them here."
In order to truly represent the scope of activities that go on at Fiske, maybe it's time to stop thinking of it as a planetarium, instead calling it the Fiske Digital Theater.
"People have the wrong impression about this place, and it's all because of that big circular roof outside," says Benjamin, referring to the distinctive dome which is often used for illuminating the universe. "The truth is, our staff members are able to tailor content from a wide range of disciplines across campus, and use our facilities to deliver that content to students in a meaningful, engaging way."
Two new shows are opening at the Fiske this summer: "Back to the Moon for Good," and "The Life of Trees."

OIG Audit: Frequently Asked Questions
April 4th, 2012 | SMWC
Does this change SMWC's accreditation?
"Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission without interruption since 1919. In its evaluations of the College's educational offerings the Commission has found those offerings to be of appropriate academic quality. The recent recommendation by the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education regarding past awards of federal student aid creates no jeopardy for the College's accreditation status. The College remains in good standing with the Higher Learning Commission."
-from the Higher Learning Commission
Read more about other SMWC accreditation.
Does this jeopardize my degree in any way?
As President Dottie King has indicated, we are proceeding with "business as usual." The institution is fully accredited and we will continue to educate students and confer degrees. This is a disagreement regarding the classification of our distance program. We are confident in a positive resolution as we continue our dialogue with the Department of Education.
Will this affect my financial aid?
No. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has disbursed and will continue to disburse Title IV funding. These recommendations will not affect any student's financial aid package.
Are you a correspondence program?
No. The regular interaction between our regular faculty and the students of the Woods Online program is significant and important. The program materials and learning outcomes are completely aligned with our campus courses and the programs (Campus and Woods Online) are assessed exactly the same way.
Is $42M a real number to be paid back?
We are confident that the Department of Education will determine after our current dialogue and analysis that we are and have been fully compliant.
When will we know the decision of the Department of Education?
The OIG audit has been in process for almost 2 years. The recommendation has now been forwarded to the DOE. SMWC is now in discussions with the DOE and look forward to taking adequate time for a positive resolution.
How does President King feel about this recommendation?
President Dottie King is looking forward to the dialogue with the Department of Education. She feels they will have more reasoned interpretation of the applicable laws and she is confident this situation will be resolved in a positive outcome for Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.

Jerrod Niemann makes mini-Western to promote new CD
Listen to Jerrod Niemann on iHeartRadio
Jerrod Niemann is taping his other talents to promote his upcoming album, High Noon.
The country star displays his acting abilities in a ten-minute western he's made in support of the disc. But Niemann admits it's not any kind of serious cinematic piece.
Niemann's "High Noon" trailer will debut at JourneyToHighNoon.com on Tuesday. The film is just one of the exclusive, interactive features the singer has on the website, along with games, free downloads, and other goodies.
Niemann's album High Noon will be in stores on March 25th. His latest single, "Drink To That All Night," is the lead-off release from the album.

The Chesapeake Bay Program's staff is on a mission to restore the Bay and its rivers. Whether they work on water quality, education or oysters, everyone here is dedicated to helping the Chesapeake. But do they keep the Bay in mind when they aren't behind their desk?
A few months ago, we sent our staff a quick survey asking them about the types of positive activities they do for the Bay when they're not at work. Some results were typical, while others were very interesting! The following eight activities were the most popular:
Is anyone surprised that recycling ranked as the number one thing Bay Program staff do to help the Bay? Recycling is one of the easiest things you can do for the environment.
One of the most common reasons why people don't recycle is because their location does not offer recycling services. If you're having trouble finding recycling services in your, enter your area code at Earth911 for a listing of drop-off locations near you.
You know you work with environmentalists when fertilizer use ranks near the top of the list! The average person may not realize that yard runoff containing fertilizer can be harmful to local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay. Fertilizer is full of nutrients, which fuel the growth of algae blooms that block sunlight from reaching bay grasses and rob the water of oxygen.
To learn more about Bay-friendly fertilizer use, visit Chesapeake Club.
A little more than half of respondents said they composted at home on a regular basis. Composting is a great way to save time, money and the Bay! When you compost things like kitchen scraps and leaves, you are not only creating your own free fertilizer, but you are reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills. Old composters used to require a pitchfork to turn over the pile, but these have been replaced with easy-to-use bins with hand cranks.
To help you get started with composting, visit How to Compost.
If you live in or have driven through Maryland, you have probably noticed the iconic blue Chesapeake Bay license plate. What many people don't know is that the proceeds from this "vanity plate" go to the Chesapeake Bay Trust, a non-profit that conducts restoration, education and community engagement activities throughout the Bay watershed. To date, the Trust has planted 220,648 native plants and trees, restored 65 acres of wetlands, oyster reefs and streamside buffers, and engaged 86,717 students.
If you live in Maryland, buying a Bay plate is one of the easiest things you can do to help the Chesapeake Bay. Visit the Bay Plate website to learn more.
All the funding in the world for restoration projects will not help if there is no one to do the work! There are an overwhelming amount of opportunities to get involved with environmental organizations in our region. From planting trees to removing invasive species to building oyster reefs, there are activities for every interest. Volunteering is also a great way to get your kids outside and help them appreciate nature.
If you are interested in getting your family involved, the Baltimore Aquarium offers regular restoration events. You can also contact your local watershed organization for more information about opportunities near you.
Rain barrels and rain gardens are important because they collect water from roofs, yards and paved surfaces that would otherwise flow into storm drains. Rain gardens and rain barrels are so important that some counties actually offer funding and tax breaks for implementing them. Check with your city environmental office to see if your area has a program.
To learn more about rain barrels and rain gardens, visit Rainscaping.org.
It is common misconception that it's safe to leave pet waste on the ground because some consider it a "natural fertilizer." However, pet waste actually contains harmful nutrients and bacteria that can run off into local waterways. Some areas can be closed off to swimmers in summertime due to high bacteria levels from pet waste. Dog waste should be thrown away, flushed or put in a pet waste composter.
For more information about pet waste pollution, visit the Stormwater Center Pollution Prevention website.
People tend not to carpool because they do not know if anyone else who works with them lives nearby. People also enjoy the freedom of being able to come and go as they please without having to worry about altering their schedule because of another carpool rider. However, carpooling can actually save you time and money. You will spend less on gas and vehicle maintenance, and you can take advantage of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
The best solution is to create a way for colleagues who are interested in carpooling to list where they live. Put it in a well-traveled place, such as a kitchen, front desk or break room.
After seeing what the "average environmentalist" does for the Chesapeake Bay, do you think you do the same? Or more? What activities do you do that help the Chesapeake?
Maryland has passed a law that will reduce pollution from lawn fertilizer applied to homes, golf courses and businesses.
The Chesapeake Bay Commission, whose members introduced the legislation, estimates that the Fertilizer Use Act of 2011 will reduce phosphorus pollution from urban sources by 15 percent compared to 2009 levels. This equates to 20 percent of the phosphorus reduction Maryland needs to achieve its pollution reduction goals for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.
Turf grass is now the largest "crop" in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, exceeding the amount of acres planted in corn and fast approaching all row crops combined. As the amount of lawns in the region increases, so does fertilizer use.
The legislation limits the amount of nutrients in fertilizer used by homeowners and lawn care professionals. Nitrogen will be limited and phosphorus will be banned in most types of lawn fertilizer.
Additionally, professional fertilizer applicators will have to be trained and certified in proper fertilizer application, such as keeping fertilizer off paved surfaces and not applying before heavy rain or when the ground is frozen. Areas along waterways, drainage ditches and near storm drains will be designated as "no-fertilizer zones." (Read a full list of the lawn fertilizer bill provisions.)
The commission worked with soil scientists, environmental groups, fertilizer manufacturers, the Maryland Department of Agriculture, and associations representing lawn care professionals and golf courses to develop the provisions. Similar legislation passed in Virginia this winter, and is expected to be introduced in Pennsylvania this year.
Calling this bill "one of the nation's most comprehensive and protective standards for lawn fertilizer content and use," Chris Wible, director of environmental stewardship for the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, pledged to work with Bay groups to teach homeowners about protecting the Bay from their own backyards.
Another important part of the legislation is increasing and improving homeowner outreach. Within one year, the Maryland Department of Agriculture and the University of Maryland will develop and distribute consumer guidelines to help homeowners better understand how to reduce pollution from lawn fertilizer.
For more information about the lawn fertilizer legislation, visit the Chesapeake Bay Commission's website or read the Maryland General Assembly's bill summary.
EPA Senior Adviser for the Chesapeake Bay and Anacostia River Jeff Corbin discusses the challenge and importance of Chesapeake Bay restoration in our latest feature.
I have recently been given the opportunity by U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to serve as her senior advisor for the Chesapeake Bay and Anacostia River. I am both honored and humbled to serve in this role (as well as over-whelmed and sleep-deprived).
On my second day in my new position, I found myself in a late evening meeting with the EPA deputy administrator discussing urgent Chesapeake Bay issues. On his conference table was a report he recently received and on the cover was an aerial view of the Hoover Dam. If you've never seen what the Hoover Dam looks like from above, I can assure you that it is awe-inspiring. To think that we humans could build such a massive structure, divert enormous natural forces, and do it in the midst of the Great Depression, got me thinking - if we can build a Hoover Dam, surely we can restore the Chesapeake Bay and rivers that feed it.
I do not make that conclusive statement lightly. Full restoration of all of the Bay region's waters will not be easy, cheap, or without stumbles and obstacles. So then why do I say we can do it? Because not a single person I have encountered in my 14 years of restoration work has said we shouldn't restore the health of the Bay and its rivers. And I mean not a single person. Not an elected official, not a wastewater treatment facility operator, not a homebuilder, not a farmer – no one. And that gives me great hope.
This is not to say that various interests don't have concerns about the timeframe for restoration, or funding concerns, or how the pollution reduction responsibilities were divvied up. But they all acknowledge that we need to figure out a way to get the job done. And we will. Through the states' newly developed watershed implementation plans and the federal government's recent Chesapeake Bay Executive Order Action Plan, we have the vision and the strategies to see this restoration effort through.
Interestingly, many of the people who sent me congratulatory notes after hearing about my new position also expressed their condolences. I realize that they did so jokingly, but it really made me wonder why so many people would make that comment.
Is it because the Bay partnership's restoration efforts are under scrutiny? If so, why would we discourage scrutiny? We are committed to restoring a national treasure and investing significant federal, state and local revenues to do so – we should be scrutinized. But after the scrutiny, let's come together and get on with our restoration work.
Is it because of the sizable projected costs? We've always known those costs existed – they've been spelled out in detail in the various "tributary strategies" developed a decade ago by the Bay jurisdictions, in reports prepared by the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Blue Ribbon Finance Panel in 2004. If we are now questioning whether the costs are sustainable, then were we ever really "committed" to meeting our previous "commitments?"
Or is it because of the sometimes seemingly insurmountable political divide that exists in Washington? If that is the case, I remind everyone of the following quote: "Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's common sense." Who said that? President Reagan, in his 1984 State of the Union Address. He then announced a sizable budget increase for the U.S. EPA – specifically for the purpose of restoring the Chesapeake Bay.
I ask that we stop thinking of the expenses of a clean Bay as "costs" and start treating them for what they really are: investments. Investments in clean water that will generate considerable economic gain for the region.
I ask that we redouble our efforts and commitment to do what it will take to fully restore the health of our rivers. Clean the rivers and the Bay will take care of itself. I am referring to the collective "we" – EPA and other federal agencies, Bay region states, districts and local governments, numerous stakeholder interests, and millions of Bay watershed residents.
In 1961, President Kennedy didn't say to the American people, "Let's try really hard to put a man on the moon"; rather, he committed the nation to do so by the end of the decade. If you go back and read the various Bay Agreements that have been adopted since 1983, the word "commitment" is used extensively.
So if we are serious when we say that the Chesapeake Bay is a "national treasure," and we wish to honor our past commitments, then let's gather the strength, will and resources to achieve the Bay equivalent of landing a man on the moon – or maybe something easier, like building a Hoover Dam.
We can do this – and the world is watching us.
The birds are chirping, the sun is starting to feel warm on your face, and those afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in. It's officially spring in the Chesapeake Bay region, which means it's time to get outside and plant!
If you've been looking for a way to help the Chesapeake Bay, planting native plants in your yard is a great way to make a difference. Native plants are adapted to our region's environment, so they need less watering and no fertilizer – which saves you money. Less work, less cost and helpful to the Bay? Sounds great to us!
Here are ten native plants we recommend you plant in your yard this year!
Coneflower (or Echinacea) is a popular, long-lasting perennial that grows 2-5 feet tall. Its bright lavender flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial wildlife. Coneflower is also known for its herbal remedies as an immune system booster.
Sweetbay magnolia is a slender tree or shrub with pale gray bark. It is native to all the Chesapeake Bay states, except West Virginia. It usually grows 12-20 feet tall, but occasionally reaches 50 feet in the southern part of its range. When in bloom, the plant's fragrant magnolia flowers open in the morning and close in the evening.
Scarlet beebalm is a popular perennial with tufts of scarlet-red flowers. The 3-foot stems are lined with large, oval, dark green leaves that have a minty aroma. Scarlet beebalm will attract hummingbirds to your garden.
This popular, beautiful shade tree tree grows 40-60 ft. in cultivation, occasionally reaching 100-120 ft. in the wild. Red maple is named for its brilliant red autumn leaves. It has the greatest north-south distribution of any East Coast tree species.
Considered one of the most spectacular native, flowering trees, flowering dogwood is a 20-40 foot, single- or multi-trunked tree with white or pink spring blooms. Its fruit is known to attract birds and deer.
The eastern redbud is a 15-30 foot tree with a purplish or maroon trunk and a wide, umbrella-like crown. Its tight, pink flower clusters bloom before its leaves grow, offering a showy spring display.
Blazing star has long spikes of dense, feathery white or purple flowers that bloom from the top down. Birds, bees and butterflies will be frequent visitors to your garden if you plant these beautiful native flowers.
Boneset's tiny, white flowers are arranged in fuzzy clusters atop 3-6 foot stems. Early herb doctors thought this plant helped set broken bones. Its leaves were wrapped with bandages around splints.
New York ironweed is a tall perennial, growing 5-8 feet in height. Its clumps of striking, deep reddish-purple flowers attract butterflies.
This perennial grows 2-4 feet tall and has showy, red flowers. Although relatively common, cardinal flower is scarce in some areas due to over-picking. Because most insects have difficulty navigating the plant's long, tubular flowers, cardinal flower depends on hummingbirds for pollination.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — An Everett woman whose Facebook page includes a photo with the caption "Barbie Bandits" has been booked into the Snohomish County Jail for a burglary spree.
The suspect, 25, and another woman are accused of breaking into a strip mall in the 5700 block of Evergreen Way the night of Feb. 10. An Everett District Court judge Wednesday found that police had established probable cause to arrest her; the other woman has not been booked into jail.
Police believe they broke into a business where the Everett woman once worked, as well as six neighboring suites. The businesses included a rental car dealership, a massage parlor, a gold shop and a thrift store.
Officers found stolen property from the burglaries at the woman's home and in her vehicle, court papers said.
Someone at the woman's apartment complex told an Everett detective that the pair "brag about being the 'Barbie Bandits,'" according to a search warrant.
The suspect's Facebook page shows a photo of two women. Both are wearing dark sweatshirts, jeans and sunglasses. A caption in pink cursive script reads "Barbie Bandits."
Police recovered several items that were believed to be stolen. They included two printers, paperwork, a laptop, DVDs and three vintage Barbie dolls.
They're also suspected of stealing a guitar, jewelry, several sets of car keys, safes, checks and paperwork with personal information.
Court papers indicate the Everett woman also is a suspect, with another person, in a burglary in unincorporated Snohomish County.
Deputies were called to the 12600 block of 75th Street SE near Snohomish on Feb. 12. A homeowner returned to find the Everett woman coming out the back door of the house carrying a pillow case full of jewelry and other items, according to sheriff's reports.
A deputy arrested the woman after he arrived in the area.
A police dog began tracking for evidence and found a second suspect, 23, who was hiding in some bushes not far from where the Everett woman was found.

The 7 Worst Ever Celebrity Dads
I'm fully convinced that Michael Lohan's headline-making domestic violence arrest yesterday was copied straight out of Mel Gibson's playbook. Of course, Mel's famed blowouts were uniquely terrible because some of them were directed towards the teenage son of ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. Last month, Mel paid $100,000 to Oksana's 14-year-old for the guarantee that he wouldn't sue the once-respected actor for reportedly "terrorizing" him during altercations with his mother. That's low, even for Mel Gibson. Additionally, his own toddler daughter with Grigorieva bore witness to a number of her father's detonations.
It's hard to top this sh**ty parenting, but surprise, surprise, more than a few celebs come come! After the jump, six more celebrities who I definitely wouldn't want for a dad.

Reviews forChocolate-Strawberry Celebration Cake
My Review
Average Rating
"I've made this several times. Very moist and delicious. I did only use 1/12 cups of real butter. It worked fine. The presentation was fabulous!"
"No way too many calories for one slice of cake!"
"Of all the desserts I've made - this one is the one that has been the biggest hit! Amazing frosting on this cake, and don't skip that ganache!"
"I made this cake for my son-in-law's surprise birthday party. It was a hit! When we brought it out, got lots of ooohs and aaahs. It is a beautiful, impressive, delicious cake and is easier than you think. I put it in the refrigerator the day before and added the ganache and strawberries the day it was served."
"The actual cake was delicious & moist. The icing was just too buttery tasting for me with the 4 sticks, however the spreading consistency was perfect. I will use my own chocolate buttercream frosting next time. I placed chocolate covered strawberries around the top and on the sides. It was a big hit with the family!"
"Delicious. I might add sliced strawberries in between the layers next time though."
"Deeelish! A frieND made it for my birthday and WOW! I'll be making it for dad's birthday!"
"this is really good. I made it in 13x9 pan because I had to travel with it and didn't want to worry about it falling over. the strawberries at the store weren't looking that good right now so I used canned cherry pie filling, which was great. I just drizzled the ganache over the top of the cherries . I'll make it again with strawberries when they're looking better. the frosting was great. for those of you who complained about the butter, you should try it-it's very good. The one I made today was for a party at work and I'm making another one tomorrow to take for Christmas eve dinner."
"I made this for my daughter's birthday. It was amazing. I have been baking for 50 years and never expected such deliciousness from a recipe based on a boxed cake. The frosting was decadent. Instead of making the chocolate lace for the top I used chocolate covered strawberries. I am going to try alter this recipe to make a white chocolate cake. For anyone thinking of trying this recipe...DO IT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!"
"If I could give this 10 stars I would! My cakes turn out just like the picture and are absolutely wonderful!! Because it is loaded with calories, I save this for very special occasions!"

Hi lybrate-user, There is developmental delay in all spheres (motor, adaptive and social) in children with Down's syndrome and most common genetic cause of learning disability & mental retardation. As there is no curative therapy, counseling has a central role to play in the management. Having Down's syndrome child can be challenging at times. But with help professional support, most people are able to have healthy, active and more independent lives. There are many children who have done wonders and hence take it as chanllenge and support your kid to develop and learn.

Dave Mason releasing new album next week
Listen to Dave Mason on iHeartRadio
Dave Mason has a companion album of sorts to his current "Traffic Jam" tour.
The rocker tells Pollstar.com that since his shows primarily feature Traffic material and his early solo work, he's decided to "sort of revisit the past" in the studio. He says Futures Past includes "a rewritten version" of "Dear Mr. Fantasy,"' as well as "a completely revised version" of "World In Changes" and "a great live recording" of "Sad and Deep as You" -- two songs from his 1970 debut solo album.
The new eight-track set also includes re-worked renditions of Traffic's "You Can All Join In" and three songs from Dave's 2008 album, "26 Letters 12 Notes." There's only one new song in the collection, titled "That's Freedom."
Mason's Futures Past will be in stores on May 13th. He has "Traffic Jam" shows scheduled through the end of the year. He'll be performing in Lewisburg, West Virginia on Friday, and Rocky Mount, Virginia on Saturday.

The GOP Splits Over Pressure to Slash Defense Budget
Some Lawmakers Push for More Efforts to Avoid Toll on Military-Heavy Districts
WASHINGTON—Republicans head into the next budget battle with President Barack Obama torn between two long-standing goals: Strengthening the military and cutting federal spending.
The prospect of deep cuts in defense is troubling to many in the party, which has traditionally supported robust defense spending. But increasingly, that impulse is giving way to arguments from GOP lawmakers, many of them new to Congress, who say the most important goal is to rein in federal deficits. They believe that steep, across-the-board...
