NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man convicted of killing one student and wounding four others at an off-campus party near Seton Hall University was sentenced Friday to life in prison plus 20 years.
Nicholas Welch, 29, of East Orange, sat silently, his hands in cuffs, as his sentence was read. Earlier, he apologized to the family of Jessica Moore, a 19-year-old sophomore honors student from Disputanta, Virginia, who was killed when a gunman opened fire into a house party in 2010. Four others were shot and injured.
Welch told Moore's family he prayed for their loss, but maintained his innocence.
"I just want to let you all know," he said, "your daughter's blood is not on my hands."
Prosecutors said Welch, who was convicted in March of murder and attempted murder, brawled with the hosts of the party after they wouldn't let him inside and then went to a friend's home nearby to get the gun he used in the shooting.
"This defendant opened fire on unarmed, defenseless college students. There is no place in society for this type of behavior," said assistant prosecutor Jamel Semper. "We are satisfied that this sentence will keep this defendant off the streets for the rest of his life."
Welch's attorney said his client, who wasn't a student but lived on the block where the party took place, had been wrongfully convicted in a case of mistaken identity. He had asked the minimum sentence of 30 years.
In emotional statements, members of the Moore family broke down in tears as they shared details of Jessica's life and lashed out at Welch.
"It takes a cold-hearted monster to walk into a room of innocent people and shoot them," said Cynthia Moore, Jessica's aunt. "He's asking for mercy. He didn't give Jessica or anyone else mercy that night." After leaving the courtroom, she applauded the sentence, calling it "well-deserved."
In what he described as an unusual move, Judge Robert Gardner added his own admonition.
"Actions have consequences, son," he told Welch.
But Welch's sister, Latonya, and the mother of his two children, Ebony Copeland, painted him as a family man who had changed his life after years of run-ins with the law.
"I feel sorry for Jessica, but not only did Jessica lose a life. My children lost a father," Copeland said.
Under the terms of Welch's sentence, he will be eligible for parole in about 89 years.

In the 1990s military courtroom drama "A Few Good Men," Marine Col. Nathan Jessup, as played by Jack Nicholson, faces down an inquisitor who challenges the measures Jessup believed were justified to protect the nation's security. "You want the truth," he thunders, "You can't handle the truth!"
As far as we know, Jessup never wrote an autobiography. But if he did, the tone of it would probably read a lot like that of Dick Cheney's recently released "In My Time." In the book, Cheney explains and defends the Bush administration's policies in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
It is almost impossible not to hear Nicholson's growl as Cheney leads us through his eight years as perhaps the most powerful vice president in U.S. history. Laying out his case in a detached, clinical and arid manner, Cheney describes his reaction to events around 9/11, including his decision to order military pilots to fire on civilian airliners if they believed the planes to have been hijacked. Without regret or reconsideration, he recounts discussions on key issues in the U.S. response to the attacks, including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military detention facility at Guantanamo, the controversy over enhanced interrogation techniques against terrorist suspects, and the expansion of National Security Agency surveillance and intelligence-gathering capabilities. In each case, he pushes back hard against his critics, both outside the Bush administration and within, and makes it clear he would urge the same course of action if given the opportunity to again make those recommendations. Cheney directly and repeatedly challenges his readers to put aside their belief that his conduct on these matters was excessive, illegal or immoral. Instead, he argues without apology that preserving the nation's safety and security justified the extraordinary measures he championed.
Americans tend to complain when our elected leaders pay too much attention to their own political fortunes. We criticize them for being too influenced by public opinion polls and being obsessed by the campaign for their next office. But because Cheney had no intention of seeking the presidency for himself, he was unencumbered by the electoral controls that normally constrain the decisions of the men and women who run our government. Cheney therefore gives us a rare glimpse into the deliberations of a politician free to utterly disregard politics: The result is a man who answered only to his own conscience. And whether someone thinks that's good or bad is entirely dependent on whether you agree with his stand on a variety of issues.
Cheney devotes the greatest amount of his memoir to the U.S. military engagement in Iraq. He focuses on the dispute over whether Saddam Hussein had the ability to develop weapons of mass destruction. Cheney is not shy about calling out those who have disagreed with him, and careful reading of the chapters that precede the events of Sept. 11 illustrate his early disregard for the loyalty or job performance of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, former CIA Director George Tenet, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and other Bush administration figures.
Most interesting and more complicated are Cheney's feelings about former President George W. Bush. He applauds Bush for decisions in the first few years after the 9/11 attacks. But he seems demoralized by the change of course in Bush's second term, when the vice president possessed less influence and clearly felt marginalized by his diminished role. He expresses disappointment over the firings of his longtime ally Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and, later, Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Peter Pace and over presidential hesitance in policy decisions regarding Iran, Syria and North Korea. But Cheney expresses his greatest displeasure for Bush's decision not to pardon vice presidential advisor I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby for his conviction regarding his role in the administration's leak of the covert identity of CIA agentValerie Plame.
Cheney defends his former aide at great length, pointing out that Libby was not the source of the leak and ultimately telling the president that he was "leaving a good man wounded on the field of battle." Pretty strong words to direct at the commander in chief. But ultimately, even Bush could not live up to Cheney's standards.
Throughout the book, Cheney makes little effort to emotionally engage his readers. His fictional counterpart Jessup, not surprisingly, used far stronger and more extravagant language in his cinematic courtroom encounter to make the same substantive argument, that unpopular and uncomfortable measures are necessary to protect a country from grave danger. The words here are Nathan Jessup's, but the sentiments are unmistakenly Cheney's as well:
"We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns… my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall."
Jessup was ultimately found guilty in a military trial, while Cheney was instead judged by a court of public opinion. This book is both men's appeal, leaving us with difficult and troubling questions regarding the balance between the sober necessity of our physical safety and the higher moral plane of our democratic ideals.
Schnur is the director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC. He was an advisor to former Gov. Pete Wilson and the 2000 presidential campaign of John McCain.

The idea behind iMac has never wavered: to craft the ultimate desktop experience. The best display, paired with high-performance processors, graphics, and storage - all within an incredibly thin, seamless enclosure. And that commitment continues with the all-new 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display. Like the revolutionary 27-inch 5K model, it delivers such spectacular image quality that everything else around you seems to disappear. Adding up to the most immersive iMac experience yet - and another big, beautiful step forward.
More than just a display, it's a vision.
Accuracy. Brightness. Clarity. Regardless of how you measure the quality of a display, Retina is in a class by itself. The pixel density is so high that you won't detect a single one while using iMac. Text is so sharp, you'll feel like you're reading email and documents on a printed page. And with a new, wider color gamut, the Retina display is able to deliver even more available colors - 25 percent more. So every photo and video you see appears even more true to life.
Innovation from edge to cutting edge.
An incredible amount of engineering was required to bring the Retina display to the iMac family. Witness a design that's just 5 mm at its edge - yet entirely capable of making everything around you fade into the distance. This ensures that nothing gets between you and your favorite content. Seamless and beautiful, iMac with Retina display is an elegant addition to your workspace, representing a depth of technology at the height of design.
Storage that's lightning fast. And whip smart.
Storage is about space. But it's also about speed and performance. A Fusion Drive gives you the best of both worlds. This innovative storage technology intelligently combines speedy flash storage with a high-capacity hard drive. Your frequently used apps, documents, and photos stay on the faster flash storage, while infrequently used items move to the hard drive. And as the system learns how you work, you'll experience faster application launching and quicker file access. Fusion Drive can be configured with up to 3TB of storage. But for those who want the ultimate performance, there's an all-flash option that's now up to 2.5 times faster than the previous version.
Built for speed. And everything else.
Faster and more powerful than ever, the 27-inch iMac is equipped with a sixth-generation Intel Core processor and the latest AMD high-performance graphics. And the 21.5-inch iMac features a fifth-generation Intel Core processor and enhanced Intel Iris Pro Graphics. Both deliver stirring visual effects with maximum impact - at maximum speed.
Fast connections for high performance.
iMac is astonishingly thin. But it's jam-packed with advanced technology. Two Thunderbolt 2 ports come standard on all iMac models and deliver blazing-fast data transfer for external drives and cameras. Four USB 3 ports give you plenty of options for connecting peripherals, including your printer, video devices, and more. And with ultrafast three-stream Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you're instantly connected to all your favorite content.
The world's most advanced desktop operating system.
OS X is what makes a Mac a Mac. Not only is it designed to be intuitive and easy to use, but it's also engineered to take full advantage of the Retina display, so you'll see everything on your desktop with stunning clarity. It features an incredible collection of apps you'll use - and love - every day. And it's designed to enable your Mac and iOS devices to work together in amazing ways.
I love my new computer. It is better than I imagined it would be. MacMall shipped it so fast and it came perfectly packaged and undamaged. If I had known about MacMall I would have bought my other devices from them. It is unfortunate that I was just introduced to them by a friend.
This iMac is pretty great! What I loved about it is that it came with a large 27 inch display. I need a lot of room to work onscreen and its huge screen size allowed me to do just that! It really does compliment my workstation too. And don't get me started on its 5K Retina display. Working on with this kind of display technology is pretty epic. Because not only do you get accurate detail on every content, image, document, and video you have, you also get to experience a display with exceptional clarity and quality that's really breath taking. This iMac was also able to keep up with every computing task I threw at it, the processor and graphics card are awesome
This is a fine computer for what I do on a home computer. Choosing an optional mouse, which I replaced with my trackball, delayed delivery of the product and the delay time was not accurate on the ordering page.
Completely enchanted with this amazing machine.
Speed - Incredible
Visuals - Incredible
Setup - flawless - although some older apps took some a little finese to get working on El Capitan
Backorder wait time - well it's a good thing I wasn't in a hurry
If you are going to be doing video editing - this is the machine you have got to have although the older Adobe apps will not recognize the video card and all of its 4GB of memory.
Remarkably well made computer system. Upgrading from a MAC Book Pro was easily accomplished via Time Machine and the operating systems easy "walk you through it" approach to upgrading. The only glitch is that I have yet to learn from MacMall how I can sign into my Apple Care that was ordered through you. There appears to be a lack of follow through within your organization that needs to be addressed.
I usually mentally translate "Thinner, lighter, and smaller" as "Missing internal components, not as sturdy, and unable to operate with adult hands."
This iMac requires you to buy an external DVD/CD player and large external hard drive for TM backups, but of course we know that going in. Along with a printer (I use two, one extra large for graphics), scanner, and maybe another ext. HD, you eat up the input slots very quickly and need to purchase either new peripherals that link with thunderbolt or buy a USB 3.0 hub for extra slots.
What was disappointing was the thinner, lighter, smaller keyboard. This is for children or narrow-shouldered, skinny, adults under 5' 6" with double-jointed wrists. But don't throw it away; the kids can use it, even if it's missing a bunch of input keys, as it is. There are many third-party keyboard makers who can provide keyboards for adults, but that is another extra expense, along with the DVD/CD player and external HD. The mouse is fine but you might want a replacement with a scroll wheel.
I do a little graphics work but it's not my main usage. Looked at a Mac Pro and was tempted, but it's even more stripped down and priced higher, so I'm seeing if this works for me.
Fit and finish seem to be excellent, and though it bows to the odd Apple obsession with "Thinner!!" it seems sturdy, not that it will get banged around or even moved often. The screen is also excellent.
El Capitan/Yosemite is new to me, and a lot of my reaction to this iMac is my reaction to the new OS (I want my old scrolling back! I want my single key forward delete back!), but that's a separate subject.
This was a special order and the process went well. I had a concern about state sales tax and MacMall resolved it. I've purchased from MacMall in the past and will do so again. A good company to do business with.
the screen on this thing... I still can't get over it. Worth the extra cost. Also is very fast, and very, very quiet.
I love my new iMac. Super fast, beautiful screen and very easy to set up. I just want to thank MacMall for great service. Customer service rep John Rafael Ocha went out of his way to make sure I got exactly what I needed in a timely fashion. Very happy with the equipment. Everything is working beautifully for my needs. I am doing professional photo editing and this system is perfect for that. To those of you who may be wondering whether you want to go for the retina display -- go for it! It is awesome.
This is the first time I've purchased a computer from MacMall in a long time. The customer service I received was absolutely fantastic. When my custom order hit a long delay, I was contacted by John Ochoa from MacMall customer service with an immediate solution that allowed my order to be processed very quickly. Thank you John for helping me with my purchase. I couldn't be happier than I am with your recommendation.
I love my new iMac. It is lightening fast and as with most apple products it is very user friendly. I use my machine mostly for professional level editing of photography and for writing, which it handles quite beautifully. The screen is gorgeous and very accurate color. The configuration John recommended works great for my needs (16 g of Ram and 1 TB Fusion Drive). I couldn't be more pleased than I am with this purchase and with the help and advice I received from MacMall. I have been a big Apple fan for many years, now I'm a big MacMall fan, too.
If you want a computer to last and keep you happy for 6-7 years, buy this one! That's all! This is my second iMac, bought the first in 2009 and just replaced it in November 2015. Speeds right along, usual Apple easy peasy set-up and elegant design. Absolutely love it! Used mostly for the usual home use but also for my volunteer work and have never been disappointed.
I actually went to the Apple Store in Germantown Tennessee planning to take home a new mac. The sales person was so lacking in knowledge and so rude that I just gave up and left. This is my 27th Mac and I knew what I wanted. I got in the car and called Mac Mall and had exactly what I wanted the next day. There continues to be a place for you in the Apple supply chain.
Great job and thanks
This iMac is excellent. I enjoy photography and the 5K Retina display makes album making easy. The 27" size is perfect. The iMac sits 2.5 ' away at the rear of my desktop and it is very easy to see and read. This iMac is fast, has lots of memory and does an excellent job. Best computer I have ever used.
I've always had a PC. This is our first Mac. It works great and MacMall made my purchase an easy experience.
I replaced my older iMac 27" with a new one because my wife's older iMac 21" would no longer take software upgrades. I had upgraded my 27" with 12 gm memory and a 500GB SSD drive. I loved this machine so when I got the new one I was disappointed in a couple off aspects with it. 1) No CD and 2) the fusion drive. To my knowledge I have no control over the fusion drive as to contents. My machine that I had put in the SSD drive, I had everything on it, so performance was excellent. I'll hopefully get used to the new machine, but I sure miss the other one. I do like the new video resolution. I spent my career as a PC technician building and maintaining over 2000 PC's for a large corporation and still today for friends and I can honestly say after about 11 years with my iMac's, I would never go back to non-Apple hardware and Windows.
As a Windows user with an iPhone, I was a bit nervous to make the jump to the iMac. So glad I did! The speed when using Lightroom and Photoshop for photo editing is amazing! The pictures are so crisp and vibrant. A definite 5 star rating!
This is the first Apple computer i have ever purchased but after owning a couple of iPhones and a 3rd generation iPad i felt the the time had come. Upon ordering my new iMac from Mac Mall, the first surprise is that it arrived with in two days. The packaging was superb and everything came in perfect condition. As a die hard PC user i will say that it has taken me a little while to get used to the differences and i have maxed out the amount of ram that can be installed and added a blu-ray burner but overall i could not be happier with my purchase! I have found it to be a pretty complete machine. The keyboard and mouse are good as are the graphics and the new operating system.
If you are on the fence and trying to decide, wait no more! You will not be disappointed with the product or with Mac Mall. I have already made several recommendations for both to my friends and family.
Thanks Mac Mall! Good job!
I've been a PC owner for too many years till I decided to try a Mac. OH MY . . . . . I have missed so much during the time I was a PC user. It has been so smooth the transition to the IMac. I LOVE IT.

You don't need to give up ice cream and other frozen goodies. Here's how to cool off with smart selections.
There's nothing quite like a frozen treat on a hot summer day. Thankfully, having diabetes doesn't mean giving up occasional trips to the ice cream shop (or the freezer case of your supermarket). It just means making sure your selection fits into your eating goals for the day. Here's some help with that.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt now come in plenty of flavors that are "no sugar added." Also look for no added sugar versions of ices, sorbets, and sherbets.
Most of the fat in regular ice cream is saturated fat (the kind you want to eat less of), although light and reduced fat ice cream and frozen yogurt can be smarter choices. Among these, ones labeled "slow churned" (aka "double churned" or "cold churned") are processed in a way that lends them a creamier texture that's more like "regular" ice cream. Again, look for no added sugar versions.
Try our delicious Raspberry Sherbet recipe. Its sweetness comes from CRYSTAL LIGHT Drink Mix; its creaminess from COOL WHIP LITE.
Order the smallest size serving available. When scooping from a carton, dish out a half-cup serving. Or buy single-serving frozen treats like ice pops.

Last Night on Late Night: Mandy Patinkin Gave Stephen Colbert a Verbal Lashing
Plus: Jimmy Kimmel gave the @JohnKrasinski Twitter handle to its rightful owner, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Last night on The Colbert Report, things got really heated once Stephen Colbert's conservative digs pushed Mandy Patinkin right over the ledge of composure. Neck vein bulging, voice crescendoing, Patinkin unleashed the fury of Homeland's Saul Berenson upon a stunned Colbert. "Are you not responsible at all for anything that goes on in the world?" he charged over the two sides of terrorism. Needless to say, there was no Stephen Sondheim duet (damn it). Plus: In awesome Christmas gift-giving, Jimmy Kimmel paid out the original owner of the @JohnKrasinski Twitter handle to its rightful, eponymous owner. Since after all, #yolo. Also, Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville approved of Jimmy Fallon's Robert Crawley; and Kerry Washington admitted the graphic language and violence of Django Unchained had sent her straight to the therapy chair. "I kept telling Quentin that I was going to send him my extra therapy bills," she told Jay Leno. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

The Carmi-White County High School Bulldogs picked up two more wins in the past week, shutting out Mt. Carmel 9-0 Thursday, May 2 at home and defeating Massac County on the road Monday, May 6 with a score of 7-2.
The Carmi-White County High School Bulldogs picked up two more wins in the past week, shutting out Mt. Carmel 9-0 Thursday, May 2 at home and defeating Massac County on the road Monday, May 6 with a score of 7-2.
In the Mt. Carmel session, Mitchell Masterson was back at number one singles looking to get revenge on their number one player Sievers. When they went head to head in Mt. Carmel a little less than one month ago, Sievers got the best of Masterson in straight sets. However, it was a different tennis match last week. Masterson handled the strong serves of Sievers and played a patient game to come out on top 6-3, 6-2, which set the tone for the entire Bulldog team.
Noah Heupel had a slow start on the court beside Masterson, dropping the first set 6-1, but he clawed his way back into the match, earning the second set at 7-5 and dominating the third set 6-2 for the win. Drew Brown was the quickest off the court. The senior handed an easy defeat to the number three singles player from Mt. Carmel in straight sets 6-1, 6-0. Brown's service game was strong and his placement of his shots on the court overshadowed his opponent.
Sean Courty was also a quick winner at number four singles, winning 6-3, 6-1 followed by an easy win for Stephen McPeek with a score of 6-0, 6-2. Although it was a long match with lots of exchanges, Zach Ward was also an easy winner, stopping his opponent with a 6-0, 6-1 score.
In doubles action, Heupel and Courty teamed up for number one doubles for a three-set bout. They edged their opponents in the first set, winning the tiebreaker 7-6 with a score of 7-3. The second set found them scrambling for points, dropping the set 3-6 before coming back strong in the final set, never losing their focus and earning the win with a 7-5 final set.
Carmi's other doubles teams were quick winners. Brown and Masterson won 6-0, 6-1 and McPeek and Alex Nelson outlasted their opponents 6-2, 7-5.
In junior varsity action, Alex Nelson was an easy winner over Mt. Carmel's lone junior varsity player, winning the set 6-1.
Massac County shows promise with some freshman players that stepped up to varsity for the squad. The teams played doubles first with Heupel and Courty defeating their opponents 10-4 at number one doubles. Masterson and Brown were easy winners at number two doubles 10-2 and Jamey Steed teamed up with McPeek for the number three slot, unable to bring the score into their favor and dropping the set 10-4.
In singles action, the top four singles spots were quick contests. Masterson won at number one singles 10-3 followed by Heupel (10-2), Brown (10-2), Courty (10-3) and McPeek (10-2). Ward rounded out singles and battled hard, but could not prevail in the end for a 10-7 loss.
Ward also played one singles set for junior varsity action and won 6-0. Steed and Alex Nelson teamed up for a set of junior varsity doubles, winning 6-2.
The CWCHS Bulldog boys tennis team is now 9-2 for the year with 2 ties. They will continue a busy week of action, hosting Mt. Vernon, Ill. on Tuesday, May 7 at 4 p.m. followed by a home match with Olney Wednesday, May 8 at 4 p.m. A make-up match could also take place this week with Benton at home on Friday, May 9.

Every Grain of Rice by Fuchsia Dunlop
If you had to pick three words to describe Chinese cooking, what would they be? Would they be "frugal," "healthy," and "delicious"? If not, they will be after spending some time with Fuchsia Dunlop's new book. Every Grain of Rice is about the kinds of fresh and simple vegetable-based dishes that make up everyday Chinese home cooking. These recipes take us far from the restaurant fare with which most of us are familiar, and trust me, it's a journey you'll be thankful to take.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Fuchsia Dunlop
• Who published it: W.W. Norton & Company
• Number of recipes: Over 150
• Recipes for right now: Silken Tofu with Avocado, Sichuanese Numbing-and-Hot Beef, Slippery Wood Ear Salad with Cilantro, Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu, Sour-and-Hot Silken Tofu, Red-Braised Beef with Tofu "Bamboo", Braised Chicken with Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, Spinach with Chilli and Fermented Tofu, Twice-Cooked Swiss Chard, Soupy Rice with Pork and Greens
• Other highlights: One of the biggest challenges in trying a new cuisine, I think, is stocking the pantry. It often feels like I have to buy a whole new set of ingredients just to try one recipe. I love that Fuchsia Dunlop sets us up with just a handful of essential ingredients — most of which are nonperishable and will keep in the cupboard for future cooking experiments. Should you fall head over heels for Chinese cooking, she includes a separate glossary at the back of the book with more ingredients to set up a full Chinese larder.
As Dunlop explains in her introduction, most of these recipes are made up primarily of vegetables with just a little meat to add deeper flavors and textures, like a few chopped slices of bacon or tablespoons of dried shrimp. This makes the dishes that are meat-centric, like slow-cooked ribs and whole braised fish, feel special and celebratory by comparison — which, as we are hearing more and more these days, is really as it should be. I find myself most drawn to the recipes that use familiar ingredients in unfamiliar ways, like stir-frying cucumbers with wood ear mushrooms and pickled chilis, or making twice-cooked swiss chard with fermented black beans.
With its stunning photos and simply-written recipes, this book makes Chinese home cooking feel completely approachable, whether you are new to the cuisine or a veteren of the wok. More than that, it makes me want to jump into the kitchen and get cooking! My own wok has been sadly neglected and this book is a great excuse to give it some attention.
• Who would enjoy this book? Cooks looking for a good "starter" Chinese cookbook, vegetarians (most recipes are vegetarian or vegetarian-adaptable)
Find the book at your local library, independent bookstore, or Amazon: Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking by Fuchsia Dunlop

Chris Hession has been a product and marketing manager for nearly 15 years. But recently, his job completely changed.
"Just in the last year and a half, social media has become not just a component of our product marketing plan, but really the core component," said Hession, currently senior manager of Autodesk's AutoCAD product marketing.
"Pretty much for everything we do, we're looking at, 'How can we make this work for social?'"

Since I made those red, white & blue ice pops last week, I've been thinking about making a full-on rainbow ice pop. Trouble is, I don't really like using artificial colors to make ice pops. I (and my kids) get enough of those in our daily allowance of Cheetos and there doesn't seem to be much point to my adding more. So I decided that for my first try at a rainbow ice pop, I needed to at least try to make the majority of the colors come from actual juice. That means a lot of different juices:
You'll note that there's no blue juice there. For one thing, I ran out of the blueberry smoothie I had last week. For another, no fruit or fruit juice I"ve ever used actually comes close to the color blue I associate with the rainbow. So I abandoned my principles a little and used some blue food coloring. And while I was at it, I colored the V-8 juice for the purple, too. The actual juice, while purple-ish, had too much of a red tint for what I wanted.
The pop turned out pretty, though not as vibrant or clean as I'd wanted:
I wish the green had been a less muddy color, specifically. But still, not bad for a pop made mostly out of unsweetened fruit juices. One of these days, I'll try it the artificial way just for comparison's sake.

Back in October of 2009 I wrote a post on the intent of British Columbia's provincial government to pass legislation that would make body armour illegal for anyone other than a selected few – police and the like. Anyone else wearing it would be committing a criminal offense.
The move was supported and promoted (of course) by the police lobby as a great benefit to their crime fighting efforts.
At the time, I thought (and still do) that it was typically stupid legislation. But from the politician's point of view it would allow them to say that they were being proactive in fighting crime, although in actuality the legislation would do nothing to reduce crime and violence on the streets. It would however manufacture a whole new class of criminal: body armour wearers – whether they were involved in actual criminal activities or not.
It was a given that the B.C . legislation as proposed would go through if the government wanted to proceed as it was unlikely that there would be much active opposition, as it would affect very few people on a personal level.
That seems to have been been the case, as the bill has passed 3rd reading in the provincial legislature, although it doesn't appear to have been proclaimed yet.
Now a similar bill is being proposed in Alberta and it is interesting to see that at least one commentator has similar views about the need or value of this kind of legislation.
Body armour can in no reasonable way be described as a threat to public safety.
It is not a weapon.
The only form of self-defence more passive is curling up into a ball and begging for mercy.
If the province is determined to restrict convicted gang members from owning body armour, then let them pass a law allowing the Crown to ask a judge to make that ruling as part of post-incarceration conditions, such as existing restrictions on firearms ownership.
Further, it seems monstrously draconian to allow sales of body armour to only cops, EMTs and security guards.
The list of those able to purchase body armour should at the very least include any individual without a criminal record.
Can the province of Alberta in good conscience deny bulletproof vests to citizens at risk of criminal attack in our community, such as pizza delivery guys, cabbies driving at night and convenience store clerks in sketchy neighbourhoods?
That would be particularly ironic, given that the guy who first used the miracle fabric Kevlar to manufacture soft body armour was a pizza delivery guy who'd been shot on the job.
Regardless, I would expect that the legislation will proceed unimpeded in Alberta as it did in British Columbia.
It is interesting that last year US Customs proposed a ban on any folder knives that could be opened one handed. In this case, the action by Customs was stopped in its tracks by public reaction. That was because Custom's rule change would have made most of the current folding knives in the country illegal and that would have affected a massive number of people.
Which reinforces the rule that strength in numbers is always an effective strategy when it comes to dealing with politicians and the bureaucracy.

Please shout "Yes" if you'd like to give yourself a raise.
Please shout "Yes" if you'd like to give yourself a raise.
Got a little loud out there for a second, didn't it?
Of course, we can't just give ourselves raises.
But guess who can — and probably will?
That's right, folks. Our state senators and Assembly members up in Albany.
And you know when they're likely to do it?
Don't be surprised if it's soon after the November elections, according to an Associated Press story that ran this week. In fact, when one retiring Assembly member in June shouted to his fellow lawmakers that he would "be back in December (for a special session) to vote on your pay raise," the Assembly responded with "raucous applause," according to AP.
You say you haven't heard them talk about those raises while they're campaigning?
You say you haven't heard them mention the pay increases they want to give themselves on top of the $79,500 they now get for their part-time jobs — plus the $171 per day they receive just for showing up in Albany? Oh, and many of them make thousands more if they're lucky enough to chair a committee. All of which makes our Albany lawmakers the third-highest-paid state legislators in the country.
Could it be that they haven't mentioned the raises they might give themselves in the lame-duck session because they know we might get a tad ticked off? (They aren't allowed to directly vote themselves raises in this session, so they'll do it for the next Legislature — and still give themselves more money.)
And we have a right to be ticked if they hand themselves those raises, even if they haven't gotten one since 1999.
If we want more money, we make a case based on the kind of jobs we've done. Then we ask our bosses. Or we negotiate a contract.
And we count ourselves lucky to get a raise.
After all, more than a quarter of us in the mid-Hudson actually had to take a pay cut in the past year, according to the new Many Voices One Valley survey from the Dyson Foundation and the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. That survey also points out that about a third of us had so much trouble getting by on what we earn, we struggled to pay for necessities like food and fuel.
Why, times are so tough, nearly 30 percent of us spent time looking for a job in the past year.
So it's not hard to see why it might be difficult for our lawmakers to look us in the eye before the election and say they want to give themselves a raise of thousands of dollars per year.
But that's what they should do.
After all, we're their bosses.
And it's our money they'll be giving themselves.

BOSTON (AP) — Jake Peavy's known for studying hitters. It certainly gave him an edge against his former teammates.
Peavy pitched seven strong innings, Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 7-2 on Saturday night for their sixth win in seven games.
Acquired in a three-team, seven-player deal July 30 that sent infielder Jose Iglesias to Detroit, Peavy spent four seasons with the White Sox. The 32-year old right-hander went 36-29 after being picked up in a trade from San Diego on July 31, 2009.
"I certainly knew that team in and out," he said. "I did know pretty much for the most part what they were going to do. I think that worked pretty much to my advantage."
Peavy (11-5) allowed two runs and five singles in his sixth start for the Red Sox. He struck out four and walked one while throwing 109 pitches.
Even White Sox manager Robin Ventura could see him working his hitters a certain way.
"He's good at seeing some weaknesses at people and he tried to exploit them," he said. "Today you could see him do it. You could see what he was trying to do. I don't know if it's that easy at the plate, but, from afar, when you're sitting back, you could see him do it."
Ellsbury also scored twice and drove in a run for the AL East-leaders. David Ortiz, who snapped an 0-for-23 stretch with a two-run single in Friday's win, went 2 for 4 with a walk and an RBI in Boston's 15-hit attack.
It was the 11th straight game Boston's pitchers have held an opponent to three or fewer runs, matching the best since April of 1988. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it's the most since 12 in a row in 1915.
"I'm certainly happy I wasn't the one to end it," Peavy said, smiling.
Chicago, last in the AL Central, had won 10 of 12 before dropping the first two of a three-game series against Boston.
Boston broke open a tie game with three runs in the fourth against John Danks (4-11), and then scored again in the fifth.
That was more than enough for Peavy.
"I don't think Jake can be any more amped up than he is in any game," Danks said. "He looked like typical Jake. He had a pretty good game plan and stuck to it. That's why he's had the success he's had over how many years he's played. He's certainly one of the best that's played."
Ellsbury's tiebreaking ground-rule double gave the Red Sox a 3-2 lead. Dustin Pedroia then drove in run with a groundout before Ortiz lined an RBI single to left.
Rookie Xander Bogaerts, regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball, added an RBI single in the fifth that made it 6-2.
Danks gave up six runs, five earned, and 11 hits over five innings. He had won his previous two starts, allowing only two runs in 14 innings.
"I knew I had to be good and simply wasn't," he said. "Jake did what he has to do with a lead."
The Red Sox had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on Mike Napoli's RBI single. Chicago tied it on Alejandro De Aza's run-scoring groundout.
Jonny Gomes doubled home a run in the third, but the White Sox tied it again on Avisail Garcia's RBI single.
NOTES: The Red Sox announced a minor trade with Philadelphia during the game, acquiring utility INF John McDonald and cash for Single-A RHP Nefi Ogando. The 38-year old McDonald, a 15-year veteran, played for Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and the Phillies this season, hitting .098 in 45 games. ... Boston manager John Farrell said the club expects to call up three or four players when the rosters expand Sunday. ... White Sox 3B Conor Gillaspie made a diving catch of David Ross' liner. ... Hall of Famer and former Red Sox and White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk was at the game. ... Felix Doubront (10-6, 3.74 ERA) faces Chicago's Andre Rienzo (1-0, 4.21 ERA) in the series finale Sunday. ... Chicago's Adam Dunn is 5 for his last 46. ... Boston finished August 16-12 and Chicago went 16-13.

Bob Geldof Releases Statement on Daughter Peaches' Death
Bob Geldof has released a statement regarding the shocking death of his daughter Peaches Geldof at the young age of 25.
"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain," he said (via Grazia). "She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever. How sad that sentence is. Tom and her sons Astala and Phaedra will always belong in our family, fractured so often, but never broken. Bob, Jeanne, Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Geldof."
Bob is an Irish singer-songwriter who sang with the band The Boomtown Rats and appeared in the film Pink Floyd The Wall.

WOTR: Giving names to smoke & fire
September 22, 2012
We name fires the way we name hurricanes, giving them the identity that comes with our naming. Naming our fears also makes them a little more manageable, which is probably the main reason we go to the doctor, seeking a word for what ails us, because having that name is at least as comforting as the prescription that comes with it. Names provide limitations, dispel mystery, and help to confine the roving imagination of disaster. What's happening may be terrible, but at least we know what to call it.The fire burning up the road from me has been dubbed "the Chips Fire," and the smoke from it has kept the town where I live shrouded in a dense and acrid haze for several weeks now. It comes and goes, lifting and dissipating like fog, only to return during the night, or settle back over us in the late afternoons. Currently, the Chips Fire is still burning out of control, only 55 percent contained as I write these words in late August, with more than 65,000 acres burned, many homes lost, and hundreds of people evacuated. It's but one of several such fires throughout the West. We've had a long hot summer, with a very early series of fires in Colorado that set the tone for how things would go. Estimates for when the Chips Fire will be controlled keep getting pushed back, and now we're told that neither we, nor that fire, will be out of the woods until the fall arrives, leaving us to look forward to perhaps more days of sneezing, coughing and worrying. Even though the fire is 40 miles away, that smoke and the sound of helicopters overhead combine to create a tangible anxiety that you can sense from people in the supermarket or the post office, and feel in your own skin. The Chips Fire is a bad one, hard to control because it's burning up and down very steep ridges in the Feather River Canyon. That canyon provides one of the most scenic drives I know of in the entire Intermountain West, but the verticality that makes it so scenic also makes it nearly impossible to get fire crews into strategic places to fight it.Where I live is down canyon from that fire, so the likelihood that the fire would turn this way and consume some 40 miles of terrain to get to us is remote. But that doesn't lessen the apprehension created by all that smoke. Those of us who've lived in the high country for a long time know that where there's smoke, there's bound to be more than one fire sooner or later. Some of the smaller fires are given names, too, but unless lots and lots of acres get consumed before the fire gets extinguished, those fires are not recorded in memory, don't become part of the folklore of disaster told and retold by locals who love to regale newcomers or visiting flatlanders with tales of how much harder life can be in the mountains than wherever it was they came from. We hate calamity when it's happening, but as it recedes in memory, the human drama we survived adds a special quality to our lives. Blizzards take their place in our personal tales, and when heavy rains sweep away a section of the canyon, we remember that, too. In retelling those stories of local disaster, our lives are enlarged, dramatized, particularized.No one except arsonists or masochists wants fire or other bad things to happen, but since bad things do, indeed, happen, we take what we can from them, comforting ourselves as stalwart survivors who went days without electricity, who trucked our animals to lower elevations, or calmly endured the smoke and the anxiety until the dangers were passed.They call the wind Maria, as the song said, though nowadays, they have computers that generate names for hurricanes as soon as they appear on the radar. And, up here in the mountains, we name our fires, parceling out titles for the tales we'll tell when time has rendered those fires safely distant, when our memories have made them even worse than they were when we were sweating them out, our eyes red with smoke, our minds unsettled by uncertainties about what was yet to come. "Yep," we'll tell our restless grandchildren, "that's the scars from the Chips Fire. The smoke was so thick you couldn't see a car 10 feet in front of you. Lots of people got sick from the smoke; that's how bad it was."Jaime O'Neill is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a service of High Country News (hcn.org). He writes in Magalia, Calif.

This lesson will focus on the arguments either for or against the addition of a Bill of Rights between 1787 and 1789. By examining the views of prominent Americans in original documents, students will see that the issue at the heart of the debate was whether a Bill of Rights was necessary to secure and fulfill the objects of the American Revolution and the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Students will also gain an understanding of the origins of the Bill of Rights and how it came to be part of what Thomas Jefferson called "the American mind," as well as a greater awareness of the difficulties that proponents had to overcome in order to add the first ten Amendments to the Constitution.
This interactive map of the first 13 states highlights the ratification process in each state.
In this lesson students will look behind the story at the historical, social, and cultural circumstances that help account for the great contrasts and contradictions that Esperanza experiences when she moves to California. The lesson also invites students to contemplate some of the changes Esperanza undergoes as she grows from a pampered child into a resourceful and responsible young woman.
This lesson on Spanish language and culture focuses on the family and keeps the lessons simple and age-appropriate. Students will learn about Spanish families and gain a preliminary knowledge of the Spanish language, learning the Spanish names for various family members.
President Woodrow Wilson and his first Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan, rejected the Dollar Diplomacy that had guided U.S. relations with Latin America during the administration of William Taft. Wilson resolved that the United States would only recognize Latin American governments founded upon law and order, "not upon arbitrary or irregular force. In this lesson, students analyze Wilson's attempts to carry out this "missionary diplomacy" in Haiti and Mexico as well as the responses of selected Haitians and Mexicans.
In this lesson students will study four popular Mexican holidays and examine images to see how these particular celebrations represent Mexico's colorful history.

Crime Stoppers: Man robs Tobacco & Phones 4 Less
Crime Stoppers: Man robs Tobacco & Phones 4 Less
OMAHA, Neb. —
Police need help catching the man who robbed the Tobacco & Phones 4 Less near 72nd Street and Military Road last Friday morning.
The security camera showed the thief entering the store and walking straight to the counter. Before the clerk could close the cash drawer, the man shoved the employee against the wall and then took the money.
According to police, the man was wearing a black stocking cap with a bill and circles on it, a dark, puffy coat and baggy jeans.
Anyone recognizing this man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867. Information could be worth a cash reward. Anyone with a tip can remain anonymous.
