NEW YORK (AP) — An earnings beat from Home Depot is helping to send the Dow Jones industrial average higher in midday trading, but other stock market indexes are mixed.
The Dow was up 59 points at 13,846 at midday Tuesday. IBM and other Dow stocks were also higher.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was flat at 1,487 and the Nasdaq was down seven points at 3,108.
Home Depot jumped 5 percent after reporting that its income rose 32 percent in the latest quarter thanks to strong U.S. sales and the cleanup that followed Superstorm Sandy. Macy's also beat analysts' profit forecasts.
In testimony before Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged lawmakers and the White House to replace spending cuts due to start Friday with longer-term policies to reduce the budget deficit.

Cranky Monkey 2
Mike and I decided to do the Cranky Monkey race on Sunday since we were in town. It was the dirt crit. We went out the day before to preride so Mike could try some funky gearing on his single speed and I could see whether I was recovered from the Wilderness 101.
My sit bones were still very tender, and my legs were sore from a weights workout on Wednesday. But I just spun around the course a few times and felt okay.
So Sunday comes and we got there at about 9 so I could register and get in a nice warmup before my 10 am start. I rode a section of the early part of the race course that involved a little stream crossing and armour. I knew from previous races that I had trouble with this and often others did too. So I practiced it to make sure I could get over it.
Then off to the start. I entered the first hill in the middle of the pack of 8, but by the top of the hill I was in second place. Then down the single track and the tricky stream crossing. The woman in front of me went down. I almost ran her over, but hopped off my bike, ran up and remounted, getting in front of her. I held my place in front of her until near the end of the third lap. Actually, I had slowed down some, kind of hoping she would go past me so I could follow her a bit, but she just stayed on my tire. I could tell she was planning to stay there until the end and would then sprint in, so I decided to save a little so I could match her. But then at the end of the third lap, I was coming down the hill on the 495 trail, came into the turn with the man hole cover a little too hot, and my bike slid out from under me, and I somersaulted a few times before coming to a stop. A few people flew by, including the woman who had been on my wheel and another woman. I got back up, jumped back on my bike and flew around the time check. For some reason I thought this was my last lap. I went all out, and managed to pass the woman in second place, and pulled off my fastest lap time. However, then I discovered I had two more laps. I was spent, so I just went as fast as I could in lap 5. I almost fell again and the woman in third passed me again. At this point I just hoped I would not fall too far back from her and rest up a bit so I could sprint the last lap.
I entered my last lap feeling very slightly refreshed and pushed as hard as I could. Fairly early on I passed the woman in 2nd who seemed to have a mechanical. I was now in second place and I did not want to fall back again. The woman now in third looked like she was just finishing her repair, so I pushed on and gave it all I had. I ended holding on to my second place to the end.

Broncos get better of tiring Dragons
Brisbane have reduced the Dragons to their second consecutive defeat tonight, a masterful display from a tired Darren Lockyer driving the home side to a 21-14 victory at Suncorp Stadium.
With both sides already weary prior to kick off, the Dragons left out no fewer than four players through injury from their originally named list. Brisbane were also missing Corey Parker (injury, Origin II) and Justin Hodges (ongoing injury). It would be the Dragons who started strongest, rookie Peni Tagive scoring the opener after just four minutes to give their side a 4-0 lead.
Evidence of Origin fatigue and niggling injuries became obvious as the first half unfolded, both Lockyer (Broncos) and Gasnier (Dragons) looking weary early before Hornby was then found hobbling in backplay. Jharal Yow Yeh and Josh Hoffman also had injury complaints throughout the first half.
Brisbane sprung to life late in the first half to storm into the lead, overcoming a number of unusual calls from both the on-field and video referees to pile on three tries in ten minutes to take a 14-4 lead at halftime, including a Yow Yeh double. The last of these tries showed a clear forward pass from Jack Reed to Yow Yeh, but the referee and sideline official both missed the call and ruled try.
The Dragons were first to score, fifteen minutes into the second stanza, when Gasnier exploded up the middle off a Darius Boyd pass, before finding Jamie Soward who turned on the afterburners to give the Dragons some hope. It wasn't long until the Broncos got themselves back in front though, Jack Reed showing exceptional talent to hit back very quickly. Wallace's conversion gave Brisbane a ten point buffer which they kept for a further ten minutes.
At the 70 minute mark, Matt Prior evaded some tired Brisbane defence to close the margin again, and while Soward's conversion went wide, the Dragons were back within striking distance. However, with a six point margin, Darren Lockyer made easy pickings of a field goal five minutes from time, confirming the 21-14 win to the home side.
It was Lockyer who controlled the play for much of the game, overcoming an early injury concern and slap to the eye from teammate Sam Thaiday. Next week Brisbane face the longest trip in the NRL, to NIB Stadium Perth when they play South Sydney. The Dragons' return to their other home ground, WIN Stadium Wollongong, on Monday night football in Round 16.

4 min: TRY
TRY St George Illawarra Dragons
Scored by Ratu Tagive. Conversion attempt by Jamie Soward unsuccessful.
Brilliant stuff early from the big Red V. They shifted play right on one play before moving back left and creating an overlap. Quick hands got the ball out to Peni Tagive to open the scoring. Soward's radar, perfect for NSW on Wednesday, has completely fritzed tonight - the kick is wide.
St George Illawarra Dragons 4-0
6 min: INJURY: Ben Hornby is limping, a foot/ankle injury. Not looking good here, he may come off.
7 min: Gasnier moving down the right side, throws an offload inside and Peter Wallace knocks the ball down. Dragons scrum on the Broncos line.
9 min: Broncos away down the sideline but the Dragons wise to the task. They force their opposition into touch inside the Dragons half.
11 min: INJURY: While Hornby is now running better and has stayed on, Brisbane's Darren Lockyer is limping.
15 min: VIDEO REFEREE possible Dragons try, some champagne football leading to what looks like a Jason Nightingale four-pointer.
15 min: NO TRY, Nightingale dropped the ball into the leg of Peter Wallace. Knock-on called, scrum Broncos on their own 10m line.
19 min: VIDEO REFEREE and NO TRY for Brisbane, Beale claiming a four-pointer in the corner but not given as it was knocked on earlier in the set.
22 min: INJURY UPDATES: Jharal Yow Yeh and Josh Hoffman have been on their haunches and seeking assistance. Both still on the park, Lockyer also seems to be running okay now.
26 min: Brilliant hands from the Dragons on their own 30m line and the ball finds a speedy Tagive out wide, he sprints away to score, but unknown to him Maxwell has called it back for a forward pass. Brisbane scrum - in attacking position!
28 min: TRY
TRY Brisbane Broncos
Scored by David Hala. Conversion attempt by Peter Wallace successful.
Too big, too strong. David Hala crashes over for a bustling, brilliant try for the Brisbane Broncos. Peter Wallace assumes goalkicking duties in Corey Parker's absence, and puts his side in front from close to the posts.
Brisbane Broncos 6-4
35 min: VIDEO REFEREE possible Broncos try. Bomb goes up, Yow Yeh (Broncos) and Tagive (Dragons) both come down with it - but it's Yow Yeh with it by the looks. Should be more points for Brisbane here...

Scored by Jharal Yow Yeh. Conversion attempt by Peter Wallace unsuccessful.
Yow Yeh is given the "meat-pie" as he came down with it cleanly after the initial jump. Wallace hooks it left, no goal.
Brisbane Broncos 10-4
36 min: Huge break down the right by Jharal Yow Yeh and he turns Boyd and Tagive inside out repeatedly, before being bought down just before the line. Soward concedes a penalty trying to slow the play-the-ball down.
38 min: TRY
TRY Brisbane Broncos
Scored by Jharal Yow Yeh. Conversion attempt by Peter Wallace unsuccessful.
Atrocious decision to award Jharal Yow Yeh his second try there, Jack Reed with a quite clear forward pass has gotten away with it. Wallace misses again.
Brisbane Broncos 14-4
HALFTIME at Suncorp Stadium and Brisbane are in front by a few more points than they should be, but are still the better team tonight. The Dragons look a bit unstructured and are playing a much more desperate and uncontrolled brand of football than we're used to seeing. Brisbane on the other hands are happy to defend it out and wait for their chances before pouncing on them. The game can still go either way, but if Brisbane get on the board early in the second half, the Dragons' task will be a tough one.
40 min: Second half underway, Broncos with first use.
42 min: INJURY: Ben Hornby is off, icing the aforementioned foot. He's unlikely to return tonight.
42 min: Nervous moments for the Dragons backs as they let a bomb bounce. Wallace regathers for Brisbane but he's wrapped up and it's a handover.
48 min: PENALTY Dragons, will help them move up the park and possibly play some attacking football.
50 min: VIDEO REFEREE possible try to Peni Tagive, has he bounced it or grounded it?
50 min: NO TRY. Tagive has bounced it, knock on. Half an hour left.
53 min: TRY
TRY St George Illawarra Dragons
Scored by Jamie Soward. Conversion attempt by Jamie Soward successful.
Mark Gasnier through a huge hole, shimmy shimmy whoosh! He finds Jamie Soward who powers forward to cross near the posts. He converts his own four pointer to make it six. Deficit reduced to four!
Brisbane Broncos 14-10
56 min: Darren Lockyer NAILS a brilliant 40/20 to put Brisbane in perfect attacking position...
59 min: TRY
TRY Brisbane Broncos
Scored by Jack Reed. Conversion attempt by Peter Wallace successful.
Jack Reed benefits from some typical Lockyer class, finding the Dragons short on the left. Wallace grabs the conversion this time, easy stuff.
Brisbane Broncos 20-10
61 min: Brisbane make huge inroads, Yow Yeh breaks down the right, finds McCullough inside before Nightingale comes up with a huge tackle. The Dragons line sets but isn't onside and a tackle later they're penalised. Brisbane with another set here...
62 min: Well defended that set from the Dragons, Tagive shadows a fifth tackle grubber over the dead ball line. Dragons 20m restart.
64 min: Dragons make fantastic inroads into the opposition half and force a line drop-out but Gasnier loses it halfway through the set.
67 min: Both sides looking very, very tired. Jack Reed knocks on in the play the ball... no he doesn't, the Dragons defender has kicked it out. Poor decision against Brisbane there, Dragons get the scrum - the referees and touchies missed it.
69 min: Lockyer is falconed by a pass from Jason Nightingale. It goes into touch off Locky, Dragons scrum 20m from the Brisbane line.
70 min: TRY
TRY St George Illawarra Dragons
Scored by Matt Prior. Conversion attempt by Jamie Soward unsuccessful.
The Dragons move left and it's Matt Prior who clamours over some tired but committed Broncos defenders to score. Soward hits the posts with the conversion, no goal. Six in it with ten to go!
Brisbane Broncos 20-14
73 min: Dragons gain a repeat set inside Broncos territory, but Dan Hunt is pinged for offloading from the ground while tackled.
74 min: Brisbane are inside the Saints half here, looking to set for a one-pointer...
74 min: FIELD GOAL
FIELD GOAL Brisbane Broncos
Field goal attempt by Darren Lockyer successful.
He doesn't even need to be set for it, and he pops it over. Brilliant stuff to put Brisbane 7 points in front inside the last five minutes.
Brisbane Broncos 21-14
75 min: Short kickoff works for the Dragons, they'll attack now...
76 min: The Dragons spread it wide in a ploy to catch Brisbane short but they're bunched up out wide and it's not happening, Hoffman comes up with it after a knock on.
FULLTIME at Suncorp, Broncos 21 defeat Dragons 14 in a clash of the weary legs. Important game for the Broncos to win, while the men in the big Red V will be hoping the Storm and Sea Eagles don't win their clashes over the weekend.

Seventeen turnovers were the difference as the Lady Falcons defense soared past Oak Ridge Saturday 67-43.
Seventeen turnovers were the difference as the Lady Falcons defense soared past Oak Ridge Saturday 67-43.
Fulton (8-3) and its full-court trapping and pressing defense put a halt into the Lady Wildcats momentum for the second straight game as they lost to Hardin Valley on Friday.
After winning six straight games, the Lady Wildcats have lost four of their last six and fallen to within one of a .500 record.
"At this point in the season, when you lose you cringe because at this point you want to get better and taking a step back is not something we need to do," coach Kerra Jackson said.
Fulton jumped out to an early lead with their full-court defense forcing 12 turnovers in the first half and gaining a 35-16 advantage at halftime.
A 19-4 run throughout the second quarter was the main culprit. Down 12, Oak Ridge looked like it was going to get a spark as Whitney Mitchell blocked a shot and took it the length of the floor only to have it stripped from her hands by Jayda Johnson. Johnson threw it the length of the court the other way to an open Tyana Castle for the Lady Falcons score to keep the run going.
"Against a trapping and press team, you can't dribble," coach Jackson said. "You have to shorten your passes.
"We don't play anybody in our district that plays this way. So it's a challenge and you have to step up to the challenge and learn from it."
Oak Ridge was able to keep pace for most of the second quarter limiting the turnovers to just five but could not make up the lost ground.
Kendra Holmes and Asia Anderson had 10 points to lead Oak Ridge (8-7). It was Anderson's first double-digit game for the Lady Wildcats.
Brook Anderson had seven while Mitchell, who is battling some sickness, was held to four.
Johnson led Fulton with 20 points. Moneisha Thomas had 16.
Friday Hardin Valley 55, Oak Ridge 52
Kendra Holmes' 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game drew iron but could not find the bottom of the net.
Oak Ridge, up two at the half, could not find an answer for Lady Hawks post Kayla Carey in the third as she scored 13 of her 30 points in the third quarter to help her team pull away.
Carey scored the final nine points in the third to give HVA (11-5, 5-1 in 3-AAA) an eight point lead.
Oak Ridge pulled to within one when Whitney Mitchell passed it to Tania Smith who whipped it around to Holmes for a 3-pointer with 33.2 seconds left but could get no closer.
Holmes scored 25 to lead Oak Ridge. Mitchell had 11 including 7-of-10 shooting at the free-throw line. Caitlyn Ledden had nine and was 5 of 8 at the line.

Manchester fire displaces family
December 27. 2012 11:46PM
MANCHESTER - A family of four was displaced by a fire on the third floor of an apartment building at 116 Notre Dame Ave. Thursday night, according to city Fire District Chief Michael Gamache.
Gamache said the fire was reported about 9:30 p.m. Thursday. He said the fire was on the ceiling of the third-floor apartment and was advancing to the attic before firefighters extinguished it.
He said the displaced family is staying with relatives. Nobody was injured in the fire, which caused about $10,000 worth of damage, Gamache said.
Gamache said accessing the home, which was on a hill, was "both dangerous and challenging" for fire crews because of Thursday's snowstorm.

Legend has it that in the eleventh century, when the very eccentric and possibly demented Caliph El Hakim needed some money, he wrote a letter to the governor of Jerusalem asking that a tax be levied. The governor wrote back that this was impossible–most of the people were poor, many of them monks who lived in caves in Wad er-Rabâbeh. El Hakim asked his scribe to write a letter with the command "Count the men." Whether the scribe made a mistake or whether the letter was intercepted, no one really knows. But by the time the letter arrived in Jerusalem it read "Castrate the men." In Arabic, the difference between the two verbs hasaa and khasaa is a single dot.
The history of the Arabic language is full of such tales, in which a dot can change the meaning of a word entirely. In fact, the original Arabic alphabet consisted of consonant letters only, some of which corresponded to multiple sounds. For example, the letter ha could be interpreted as the sounds ha, kha or ja. The ambiguity was resolved through semantic context. It was not until the seventh century that diacritical marks were added to consonants, creating a simple one-to-one association between letters and sounds. A dot over the ha turned it into the sound kha; a dot under, and it became ja; no dot, and it remained ha. This process was known as I`jaam, which can be translated as "providing diacritical marks" or, more simply, "dotting." The term has its origin in the root `-j-m, which also means, among other things, "foreign," "barbarian" and "obscure." Thus, the word I`jaam can be used to refer to the clarification of a term but also to its obscurity.
In his slim but powerful book I`jaam: An Iraqi Rhapsody, the novelist Sinan Antoon takes advantage of the orthographic ambiguities of Arabic to explore themes of love, loss, identity and resistance in the face of political oppression. Born in 1967 to an Iraqi father and an American mother, Antoon came of age under Saddam's despotic rule. He studied English literature at Baghdad University but left Iraq in 1991 and moved to the United States, where he completed a doctoral degree in Arabic literature. He is a poet, a novelist, a scholar and a translator. (His translation, with Munir Akash, Carolyn Forché and Amira El-Zein, of Mahmoud Darwish's Unfortunately, It Was Paradise, was a finalist for the 2004 PEN Literary Award for Poetry in Translation.) He has also co-directed and co-produced a documentary film, About Baghdad, about Iraq after the fall of Saddam and at the start of the American invasion.
To enter Antoon's novel is to enter the surreal world of Saddam-era Iraq, where it is not advisable to throw newspapers in the trash because their front pages carry photos of the Great Leader, where kindergarten teachers write reports denouncing the jokes children make in school, where students are forced to leave class and attend huge rallies and where young men are found "unfit for military service" rather than "exempt" from it. But I`jaam also lets us enter the intimate world of a regular citizen in 1980s Iraq, a man who resists the regime in myriad ways: he uses a newspaper with the photo of Saddam as toilet paper, he turns Baathist mottos into jokes, he votes for Mickey Mouse in the student union elections and he uses a benign tumor as an excuse not to join the army.

Yes, that really happened: Red Sox win in walkoff after being down 5-0
October 14. 2013 12:00AM
BOSTON — Had 'em all the way.
New England fans were treated to two of the most improbable comebacks they'll ever see Sunday. After Tom Brady's Patriots heroics, the Red Sox fashioned a hard-to-fathom 6-5 win over the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
The series is knotted at a game apiece and switches to Detroit for Game 3 on Tuesday afternoon.
Down 5-0, Boston came back with a run in the sixth on Dustin Pedroia's RBI single, scoring Shane Victorino.
In the eighth, with starter Max Scherzer out of the game, the Sox loaded the bases on three relievers. David Ortiz came to bat, and the Tigers countered with closer Joaquin Benoit.
Ortiz won the battle. He hit the first pitch into the right field bullpen, tying the game at 5-5 and sending Fenway Park into delirium.
Koji Uehara, who notched the win, got the Tigers 1-2-3 in the ninth, setting up Boston's walk-off heroics.
Jonny Gomes led off with an infield single and took second base on former Sox shortstop Jose Iglesias' errant throw.
Gomes took third on a wild pitch and scored on Jarrod Saltamacchia's single through a drawn-in infield.

- My husband and I sanded and repainted the cabinets and added new drawer pull hardware, installed new floors, painted the walls, installed a new glass tile backsplash, and put in new quirky laminate countertops. We also moved the fridge out of the main area and into a pantry/hallway, freeing up more counter space and making room for a built in dishwasher (which we installed). We also put puck lights under the upper cabinets, new lighting in the kitchen and the pantry/hall, and convinced my mother-in-law to make new curtains for the sliding glass door. Pretty much, we redid just about every surface in the kitchen, and because we did almost all of the work ourselves (or with the help of talented parents), we kept to our small budget.
- My best tip for a successful kitchen makeover::
- When refinishing and painting kitchen cabinets, make sure you have an area to work in where your dog can not get to! We have a little black dog, and I can't count how many times we found little black dog hairs on our freshly painted wet, white cabinet doors. Pickles (our dog) certainly made painting the cabinets more interesting!
- My favorite meal to cook in my kitchen::
- I like cooking, but I love baking! Since finishing, I've made half a dozen birthday cakes for my family members (I come from a family with 10 siblings). My rainbow sprinkle covered layer cake turned out the best.

How Copyright Would Make The 'Singularity' Infringement If It Ever Arrived
from the deleting... dept
Of course, as the video eventually notes, there would likely be a bit of a conflict between copyright law and uploading everything in your mind, so either you'd need to work out some sort of license for that... or have large parts of your cultural history erased to avoid infringement.
Now, this is obviously a silly envisioning of the future, and the whole singularity thing has always seemed a bit nutty anyway, but there's actually something important to think about in all of this joking. It is a good demonstration of how ill-prepared copyright law always is for major changes to technology, and how even solving little things (like being able to buy music online) hardly solves the larger issues that begin to show up when more and more of our lives are interconnected online. Already, we're seeing how people are effectively using things like Google and the wider internet as a "backup brain." But when you're actually storing memories in your head -- and then backing them up online -- copyright law may have a problem with the backup.

Get Busy Livin' 5K Run
The third annual Get Busy Livin' 5K Run will be held Saturday morning at Hutchinson Field, where the late Dylan Meier played his prep football at Pittsburg.
The gates open at 7:15 a.m., packet pickup and late registration 7:30-8:45 a.m., opening announcements 8:45 a.m. and the 5K run/mile walk begin at approximately 9 a.m. A kids' run and awards presentation will follow.

The Get Busy Livin' Foundation teamed up with Soles 4 Souls last year for a shoe collection effort and they're partnered again this year. Last year, the GBL Foundation collected over 700 pairs. The Soles 4 Souls' 2013 mission is to collect over 264,000 shoes to go to Haiti. Shoes can be dropped off at the run Saturday or at Commerce Bank, Jock's Nitch, Pitsco or your local school prior to race day.
On getbusylivin.org, one can find Dylan's favorite music, tunes played at his service, including Neil Young ("Harvest Moon," his 1992 sequel to 1972's "Harvest), the Rolling Stones ("Wild Horses"), the Band ("The Weight") and Bob Marley ("Redemption Song," which features the powerful couplet "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds"). These songs have been part of the soundtrack of the 5K Run.
College basketball
The Pittsburg State women's basketball program announced the addition of three transfers and one high school recruit — Katy Cooper, Tamiaya Henderson, Alex Muff and Antqunita (Nett) Reed.
Cooper played two seasons at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M in Miami. Muff played four years of volleyball at Kansas State and is the oldest daughter of Pitt State men's basketball coach Kevin Muff. Henderson excelled in high school at Mount Vernon, Mo. Reed earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors at junior college St. Petersburg College her sophomore year.
"Katy is a good athlete at the post position," Pitt State head coach Lane Lord said in a media release. "At 6-2, she can post up inside or step out and shoot a mid-range jumper or 3-point shot. Her best attribute is her ability to run the floor and play with high energy from the post position. Katy is also a good shot blocker and rebounds the ball in traffic.
"Tamaiya has outstanding athletic ability at the forward position. She has the ability to put the ball on the floor and create her own shot and is also a good passer. Her length and athleticism will be a welcomed addition for the Gorillas. We feel Tamaiya has a tremendous amount of potential and her best basketball is in front of her as she learns to play the college game.
"We are really excited to have Alex at Pittsburg State. She has exceptional speed and strength at the post position and she has a high basketball IQ. After playing four years of volleyball at Kansas State, we feel Alex will be able to step right in and provide leadership and experience for our basketball team. She is a phenomenal athlete that can score and defend.
"Nett will bring the Gorillas scoring from the perimeter, rebounding and great athleticism on both ends of the court. She is a complete player and great competitor. The coaches and players are excited to have a player of Nett's ability join the Gorilla Nation."
This late-period signing haul adds to the fall signings of Hadyn Herlocker and Paige Lungwitz for a team not far removed from an Elite Eight.
High school baseball

College baseball
LAWRENCE — Kansas defeated Baker 7-1 on Wednesday at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks reached 25 wins on the season, defeating a NAIA program in Baker with only six wins this season.
Kansas senior and Girard native Tanner Poppe started the contest but received no decision for pitching only the first two innings. Poppe gave up one run on three hits and struck out three.
Drew Morovick earned the win, his third of the season, a total for the sophomore which matches the win total of his freshman season. Junior Mustain, Colin Toalson and Hayden Edwards also pitched in relief Wednesday for the 'Hawks.
Kansas was led offensively by Kevin Kuntz and Tucker Tharp, who each had two hits. Alex DeLeon hit a three-run home run.
The Jayhawks travel to West Virginia for a three-game weekend series.
College rowing
LAWRENCE — Kansas junior and St. Mary's Colgan alum Caity Decker was recently featured by Kansas Athletics as an "athlete spotlight."
It chronicled Decker's battles with Spina Bifida (seven out of 10,000 births), Tibial torsion and von Willebrand disease (less than 1 percent of the population).
Spina Bifida, a birth defect, affects the spine, Tibial Torsion caused Decker to be born with her shins and feet facing backwards (she wore leg braces until she was 4), and VWD is a blood disorder which can result in massive bleeding from just about anything. Decker found out from a doctor that she will have nose bleeds for the rest of her life.
"A short nose bleed would be six hours long," Decker said in the feature. "I would have nose bleeds many times a month and miss lots of school because you bleed for a full day and then recovery probably takes two more days. I would bleed for about five hours and then pass out. After about four hours, they would put me in an ice bath to cool my body down."
The feature also included Decker's sister, Jordan.
"Even with someone who does not have these disorders, what she has accomplished is pretty amazing," Jordan said. "She is definitely one-of-a-kind. When people find out what she has been through, it puts it in a different perspective. It's just a part of her life. We are all really amazed and proud of her."

I watched the same debate as everyone else on October 3, 2012, but for some reason, I was one of the few who wasn't wowed by Mitt Romney's "style" and slick used car salesman techniques. I'll admit, as President Obama did, that he didn't bring his A game that night. And I'll also admit that Romney was slicker than hammered dogshit while telling his lies. He did it with nice hair, a square jaw and, with passion, was able to look his audience in the eyes and brazenly lie without any hint of remorse or acknowledgement that he was telling blatant falsehoods. He has no shame whatsoever.
Looking past the optics, I heard many things that made me sit up in my Lazyboy. The following exchange was one of the big ones.
President Obama: …And part of the way to do it is to not give tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas. Right now you can actually take a deduction for moving a plant overseas. I think most Americans would say that doesn't make sense. And all that raises revenue.
Governor Romney: The second topic, which is you said you get a deduction for getting a plant overseas. Look, I've been in business for 25 years. I have no idea what you're talking about. I maybe need to get a new accountant.
There are a couple of things wrong with Romney's response to the idea that corporations can get tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas.
First, what he was saying is if he knew about tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas, he would have done it himself. He might as well have said, "holy shit, there's a tax dodge that I wasn't aware of, fire my accountant immediately!" Cuz, you know, he likes firing people.
Second, from what I've read about how Bain Capital operated, there is a damn good chance that he actually did take advantage of that tax loophole. I hope someone is looking into that, where's Mother Jones when you need her?
When you step back and look at Romney's life, business record and the many different positions he has taken on all sides of every issue, the picture becomes clear. He has no moral compass, contrary to the image of a faithful Mormon he has cloaked himself with. In the very first ad for the general election, he plucked a quote from an Obama speech where candidate Obama was quoting John McCain ("if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose") and attributed it to Obama himself. When he was confronted on it, his response was…
"It was instead to point out what's sauce for the goose is now sauce for the gander," Romney told reporters. "He spoke about the economy being a huge burden for John McCain. This ad points out, guess what, it's now your turn. The same lines you used on John McCain are now going to be used on you, which is that this economy is going to be your albatross."
He doesn't seem to understand the problem with attributing a quote to someone who didn't say it. If this were an isolated incident, it would be one thing. But Mitt Romney has lied his way through the campaign like no candidate in our nations history. The debate was no different, he told both old and new lies but was still declared the winner. It's a sad day in America when such blatant dishonesty is ignored because, as one of the hyperventilaters on MSNBC said after the debate (about Romney), "he acted like he wanted to be President!"
SMH till it falls off!

State's only abortion clinic gets notice from health department
Clinic: State health department intends to revoke its license
As the nation marks the 40th anniversary of the historic decision to legalize abortions in the U.S., Mississippi's lone abortion clinic said it received notice that the state health department intends to revoke its operating license.
However, Jackson Women's Health Organization is not expected to close anytime soon. Under a state administrative procedures law, the clinic can remain open while it awaits a hearing by the department, which could be more than a month away.
Health department workers inspected the clinic Jan. 16 to see if it complied with a 2012 state law that requires anyone doing abortions to be an ob-gyn with privileges to admit patients to the hospital.
Clinic owner Diane Derzis said local hospitals would not issue privileges to out-of-state physicians who work at the clinic.

Toshiba Launches Two New Netbooks, One with Harman Kardon Sound
Posted: 01:45PM
Author: bp9801
Most people don't ask for anyone to turn the volume up on their netbook due to the usually less than stellar quality of the speakers on netbooks. Toshiba wishes to change all of that with one of two new netbooks it is launching, as that model comes with a Harman Kardon sound system. The netbook in question is the Toshiba mini NB520 which H/K has packed in some speakers that are two watts each, which you can clearly see on the palm rest area. According to H/K, those are the smallest tweeters it's ever put in a laptop, not just a netbook. The NB520 is also rocking an Intel Atom N550 processor, 2GB DDR3 memory, 250GB hard drive, a 10.1 inch 1024x600 LED-backlit display, and a supposed ten hours of battery life. Say that Harman Kardon sound system doesn't interest you, well Toshiba has you covered with the other new netbook, the NB500. It is a more barebones package as it lacks the sound system and only packs an Atom N455 processor, though the price of it will be less than the NB520.
No word on price was announced for either model, but both are expected to ship in the first quarter of next year.

*Signature Value : £60
|One of the small group of SAS soldiers to come under attack at Mirbat, Oman in 1972. Under attack from around 250 enemy, less than a dozen SAS men managed to desperately defend their position against the onslaught until air support could arrive. Fijian Takavesi covered 700 yards under intense fire to assist with the firing of the 25-pdr field gun, after the gunner was wounded. Despite being so outnumbered, and losing some of their number, the battle was won and was a key turning point in the war in Oman. Takavesi later took part in Operation Nimrod - the assault on the Iranian Embassy in London, and served with the SAS during the Falklands campaign.

Graeme Lothian
Graeme Lothian is an artist whose ability has seen him apply his talent to many different subjects - military, aviation, naval and landscape art. Having spent time in the army, taking on adventures such as parachuting, the discipline he has obtained from his experiences has been key to allowing him to take on his first love - painting - full time. Graeme first took on painting full-time by producing paintings of WW2 aircraft, such as Spitfires and Messerschmitts, but over his career in art, now spanning over two decades, has also produced many military and naval pieces too. More recently, he has undertaken a masive project of painting the River Thames, from its source, through London and beyond, producing over 50 paintings in this series, as well as a book. Graeme Lothian describes himself as a landscape painter. The paintings may have a Tiger, Steam Train, Spitfire or Kentish Oasts in them, but they're still landscapes. Graeme started painting in 1978 in oils, a medium he has stayed with since then. Joining the Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces at the beginning of the 1980s, a parachuting accident curtailed his career and he returned to his first love - art. In the early 90s he formed a partnership with the late great Air Vice-Marshal Johnnie Johnson CB CBE DSO(two bars) DFC(bar) the top scoring Allied fighter pilot of WWII. Embarking on a career as an aviation artist, travelling all over Britain and Europe obtaining the signatures for his prints. Personally meeting the most famous aviators and top aces of both sides of the last war. Graemes first book An Artist on the Thames came out in 2004. His second, An Artist in London, which has taken 5 years to complete, is due out in the autumn of 2012. In between, he printed an Everest painting carrying the signatures of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Chris Bonnington. Graeme had solo exhibitions in 1981, 1989 in Sydney, Australia, 2007, 2008. In 2009, Graeme was one of only 56 other artists to exhibit at the internationally acclaimed and prestigious BP Portrait Awards at the National Portrait Gallery, London. In 2010 Graeme went to Afghanistan as the artist to the Joint Forces Medical Group (JFMG). He covered everything medical in Helmand including many hours in the hospital at Camp Bastion watching the surgeons operating. The subsequent paintings and artwork were displayed at the Royal Society of Medicine, Wimpole Street, London. He returned to Afghanistan as the official artist to 20 Armoured Brigade and 101 Logistic Brigade's Herrick 15 winter tour 2011-2012. This time he was covering first the logistics and then the infantry soldier, taking him to places such as Nad e Ali, Babaji, Nahr e Saraj and Gereshk. 20 Armoured Brigade published an art book, 'Soldiers Flowers', showing art from their serving personnel on the tour. Graeme, subject to confirmation, is due back in Helmand again, this time as artist to 4 Mechanized Brigade, commanded by Brigadier Bob Bruce on their Herrick 17 winter tour, 2012-2013. Born in Sri Lanka, Graeme has painted all over the world including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Syria, India and most recently Oman and Jordan. His originals hang all over the world and to date has had over 80 limited edition art prints published.

The University-Community Task Force on Racial Equity is committed to addressing the issues of discrimination and overt racism at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and in the Town of Bloomsburg. Each year the Task Force sponsors the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Dinner and the Martin Luther King Jr. Poster Contest.
-to identify and examine issues of discrimination, including racial issues that are systemic in nature, in the Bloomsburg community;
-to sensitize the university-community to these issues;
-to develop short and long-term strategies for change, such as increasing awareness of the value of diversity in the region through dialogue, sensitivity training, and special events celebrating our uniqueness and cultural differences; and
-to develop action plans for creating a comfortable and safe community environment that encourages inclusion of all people.
To carry out its goals and objectives, the task force has chosen to address the following areas: education, safety, communication (media), and climate. Task force committees are committed to developing action plans and carrying out the short and long-term work of the task force. The realization that long-term problems cannot be "fixed" overnight is critical to one's ability to work in gray areas and willingness to accept the challenges - successes and failures - that are a part of the process of creating an open community.
As a task force, members are committed to the belief that, in order to change attitudes, we must start with ourselves. Examining our own attitudes and sharing these insights with each other is an essential, ongoing process. We seek to understand and trust each other and, at the same time, become more knowledgeable about issues of discrimination and racism.

Now you can take control of your single coil pickups without having to physically alter your guitar, or purchase various sets of custom pickups.
The Texas Recoiler is actually a "single coil tone shifter". Using a special FET input stage, along with unique filtering techniques, the Texas Recoiler produces better quality tone and response, similar to that of high end, Custom Shop pickups. As an example, players can easily dial in the sought-after SRV mid dip, while adding more kick.
Adjustment knobs include Output, which adjusts the final output gain (0db to +3dbU), Frequency, which adjusts the center frequency to affect, Windings, which adjusts the amount of gain produced at the frequency center, and HP Filter, which controls the amount of LOWS that are present.
As an extra adjustment, Rocktron has included an internal rear PCB Pot that can be used to adjust the bandwidth of the Windings Filter. This will adjust how narrow or wide the dip effect becomes.
The Texas Recoiler may be powered by a 9V Alkaline battery, or the Rocktron DC OnTap Universal Power Supply.

Retail clinics, pharmacy take hold as health access solution
Another factor greasing the skids for health system/retail pharmacy/clinic alliances is a clear shift in cultural and societal attitudes. The nation appears to be ready for the integration of retail pharmacies and walk-in ambulatory care centers with hospitals, and the use of those community-based outlets as initial points of contact with health professionals for many health concerns and conditions.
That fact is borne out by a nationwide survey of more than 34,000 households conducted by Boehringer Ingelheim in 2011. A large majority of Americans, ranging from 69% to 76% of respondents, told BI researchers they were "very comfortable" discussing such chronic conditions as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high cholesterol, stroke and kidney disease with their community pharmacist. They also put a high value on pharmacists' in-depth counseling services and knowledge of their specific conditions.
Significantly, more than 9-in-10 patients who responded to the survey also said it was important that their pharmacy's staff coordinate care with other healthcare professionals — e.g., doctors and nurses — seen by members of their household.
Increasingly, the provider and payer communities also are ready to accept the new health network paradigm, BI reported. "The acceptance of retail clinics by other players in health care has evolved from initial skepticism to curiosity to increasingly comprehensive collaborations," the report noted. "By building relationships with other players in the industry — pharmacy, [primary care physicians], hospitals, health systems, [health maintenance organizations] and payers — retail clinics are creating new opportunities for enhancing patient care."
Building the ACO
New, holistic models for integrated, patient-centered care are emerging from the fog of health reform almost as fast as you can say "accountable care organization." But pharmacy and retail clinic operators aren't waiting for ACOs to fully ripen; they're forging new alliances with hospital-based health systems and building the kind of continuity-of-care networks that could be a template for the new era of evidence-based medicine and improved patient outcomes.
If anything going on in health care traces the changes that are transforming the health system — attacking the unsustainable cost curve and dramatically improving patients' access to care — it's the accelerating growth of partnerships between hospital-based health systems and retail pharmacies and pharmacy-centered clinics.
It makes perfect sense. Both community pharmacies and the roughly 1,400 in-store clinics now open are evolving quickly beyond their traditional practice models with a broader menu of health-and-wellness services.
That makes them ideal extensions of hospital-based care, providing cheaper and more accessible points of entry into a local or regional health system for patients in need of basic diagnostic services and front-line care.
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals noted in a report on retail clinics: "The demand for health care is steadily growing as the population ages and increases, creating some strain on often overworked hospitals and physician practices."
Retail clinics, BI noted, provide "a way of addressing this issue."
Community pharmacists can play an equally critical role. With more and more chains and independents giving pharmacists the tools and training to practice "at the top of their license," pharmacies allied with hospitals provide a slew of services that improve patients' long-term health and reduce readmission rates — including preventive health services, disease management and monitoring, screenings, medication therapy management, counseling and adherence programs.
In a report in the online publication Payers & Providers, Jim Lott, EVP of the Hospital Association of Southern California, called such alliances "another primary care doorway or channel to commercial and government-sponsored ACOs with which many hospitals will be aligned."
For hospitals, allying with local pharmacies and walk-in clinics offers clear benefits. It extends a health system's relationships with patients and care networks, expanding access to its full range of health services. And such partnerships provide true continuity of care and follow-up for patients after they've been discharged.
Not least, partnerships between hospital-driven health systems and local pharmacists and clinicians provide a more cost-effective route to long-term care, allowing hospitals to spread the chronic care workload among a whole network of community-based health professionals, at a fraction of the cost.
Those benefits take on added urgency in an era of increasing cost pressures and the urgent push by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial payers to shift from a flat fee-for-service payment system to a new reimbursement model based on accountable care standards, successful patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions.
In October, that shift will gather steam when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launches a new pay-for-performance reimbursement system for all acute-care hospitals. The initial rollout of the Medicare Shared Savings Program will be limited, with hospitals facing a penalty of up to 1% of total payment for Medicare patients who are readmitted due to acute myocardial infarction, heart failure or pneumonia. But the reduction in payments for "substandard" care will rise to 2% in 2014 and 3% the following year, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. What's more, CMS will add more disease states to the list of outcomes-based payment standards as time goes on.
"With health reform, … the focus is to keep the patient from being readmitted," observed James Owen, senior director of professional practice for the American Pharmacists Association. "There's a cost savings for that under these new payment models."
The rise of evidence-based payments is one factor within the health-reform agenda spurring the creation of both hospital/community care partnerships and ACOs to improve continuity of care and cope with the new reimbursement paradigm. And it's opening new bridges to patients and new revenue opportunities for participating pharmacies and retail clinics.
"With payers moving toward paying for quality … the only way to have solid quality is to protect the continuum of care," urged Ken Berndt, CEO of Careworks Convenient Healthcare, the clinic division of Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger Health System. "If we're going to get paid that way, you've got to have an ACO, and you have to have some retail for patient access."
In Geisinger's case, that reality led to a partnership with Weis Markets, a Pennsylvania-based supermarket and pharmacy chain. Geisinger operates and staffs Careworks clinics in three Weis stores in western Pennsylvania, and is adding 15 more centers in Weis outlets and other locations. "You've got to keep people out of the emergency room. It's just too expensive, and there's just not enough access without these," Berndt said.
It's about "making high-quality, cost-effective medical care more accessible," agreed Andrew Sussman, SVP and associate chief medical officer for CVS Caremark and president of its 600-unit MinuteClinic division.
This year, MinuteClinic has allied with hospital systems in California, Florida, New Jersey and Tennessee. Under one agreement, doctors from the Florida Hospital Medical Group will serve as medical directors for 12 MinuteClinics in CVS stores in and around Orlando. The two providers also will collaborate on patient education and disease management initiatives.
More recently, MinuteClinic inked a pact in late July, under which physicians from UCLA Health System manage 11 of the clinics around Los Angeles, with clinicians referring walk-in patients to UCLA when necessary.
Walgreens' retail clinic operation, Take Care Health Systems, also is allying with hospital groups around the United States, and bills itself as "the nation's leading operator of hospital outpatient pharmacies, serving 137 health systems nationwide." Walgreens also has partnered with major health centers, such as Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Ochener Health System, Louisiana State University, Valley Health System in southern Nevada and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Through those arrangements, post-discharge patients directly transition to the care of a local Walgreens pharmacist or clinician "to enhance coordinate care" and develop better ways to track outcomes and care regimens, according to the company.
"One reason we're working with hospital systems and universities is to have an independent opinion around some of the outcomes. The key is the outcomes," explained Kermit Crawford, Walgreens' president of pharmacy, health-and-wellness services and solutions. He said the partnerships are advancing the ACO model and teaching both sides how to better collaborate, document patients' long-term progress and improve adherence. "We're connecting with the physicians," Crawford told DSN. "For example, at Northwestern, any conversations our pharmacists are having with the patient on adherence are being transmitted back to the physician at Northwestern."
The experience also provides hospital-certified training for its pharmacists that Walgreens will "be able to scale across the entire organization," according to Crawford.
Key to the success of such alliances is the ability of participating pharmacies and retail clinics to gather and electronically share accurate data on each patient in a health system's records. "The whole notion of ambulatory pharmacy is a coordination of care — the integration of patient records, etc., that feed back into the hospital," APhA's Owen said.
Indeed, BI noted in a report on health technology, "some physicians remain skeptical that chronic care services can be provided in a retail setting. They express concern that important health factors may be missed because retail clinic practitioners often do not have a full medical history on their patients."
That makes the use and sharing of electronic medical records a critical factor in the continuum of care. It's about "fully integrating electronic medical record systems to streamline communication around all aspects of patients' care," according to MinuteClinic.
At the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, for instance, "all patients have an electronic medical record, and it's allowed us to provide seamless care" that bridges the gap between the hospital and its network of allied pharmacies in the community around Madison, Wis., said Hannet Tibagwa Ambord, UW's manager of oncology pharmacy and ambulatory pharmacy services.
99 Cents Only seeks home on Rodeo Drive
CITY OF COMMERCE, Calif. — 99 Cents Only announced its official search for retail property on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The iconic street may be best known as a shopping district that houses designer label and haute couture fashion, but the extreme value retailer said it will be a strategic fit as it already has 222 stores in California.
"We are confident a Rodeo Drive store will be successful because our stores do well in affluent areas," 99 Cents Only CEO Eric Schiffer said. "In fact, our highest sales volume store is located only a few blocks from Beverly Hills on Wilshire Blvd."

The U.S. economy is expected to strengthen in the second half of 2004 and continue to grow in 2005, although at more moderate levels than in the third and fourth quarters of this year, an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City says.
That is, it will strengthen if the economy can weather a "soft spot" that has developed primarily due to slower consuming spending stemming from rising energy costs and growing consumer debt, says Jason Henderson, an economist with the Center for the Study of Rural America at the Kansas City bank.
"The jobless recovery is no longer jobless," Henderson told economists attending the Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta. "But, while it is no longer jobless, we are going through a soft spot in the U.S. economy.
"The question is how soft is the soft spot?"
Henderson said the nation finally left the jobless recovery area last year when job creation moved into positive numbers some 27 months after the beginning of the recession in 2001.
In contrast, the economy began creating more jobs than it was losing 12 months after the trough in unemployment in 1991, said Henderson. "The big difference was the dip that occurred in March 2003, which marked the start of the Iraq War.
"The growth rate was very strong in the last half of 2003 with GDP rising 4 to 5 percent over the previous quarter," he said. "The concern that some people have is that we appear to have hit a soft spot in the April-June quarter when the growth rate was down to about 2.8 percent." (Note: Since Henderson spoke in Atlanta, the Commerce Department has reported growth was stronger that previously thought. The department said GDP for the April-June quarter expanded at a revised 3.3 percent annual rate, still the most sluggish rate of GDP growth since the first quarter of 2003.)
Much of the earlier growth occurred because of rising productivity, which, in recent months, has far outstripped that of the previous economic recovery in the 1990s," said Henderson.
"What's happening is that all these companies invested in new information technology," he noted. "But it took them two years to learn how to make full use of that new technology. Not only that, but it took them some time to learn how to use it efficiently."
The forecast for more strengthening in the last two quarters of 2004 is based on a Blue Chip Economic Indicators survey conducted in September. The Blue Chip is a survey of the country's general economists. The top 10 percent of respondents believe growth will be above 4 percent and the bottom 10 percent below 3 percent in the last six months of 2004.
After Jan. 1, the majority of the respondents believe Gross Domestic Product or GDP growth will return to its long-term potential trend.
While consumer spending has been credited with helping prop up the weak economy since the recession began in 2001, figures show consumer purchases have fallen in recent months, he noted.
Consumer spending dropped by 2.5 percent between the first and second quarters of this year, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Government spending was down 0.1 percent, exports down 1.2 percent and imports up 2.5 percent.
Business investment was up 7.9 percent and residential investment up 9.7 percent, but the strength in those categories was not enough to offset the downturn in consumer spending.
"Depending on the timing, consumer spending accounts for at least two-thirds if not three-quarters of GDP slowing in the second quarter," Henderson notes. "The encouraging side is that while consumers were retracting in spending, business and residential investment continued to surge."
Breaking down the consumer area, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said second quarter spending for durable goods was unchanged from the first quarter and down 0.1 percent and 0.3 percent for nondurable goods categories such as clothing and gasoline and energy. Spending was also reduced for household operations and other services.
Most analysts attribute the softening to rising energy prices. "Consumers need gasoline whether it's $1.50 or $2 per gallon," he said. "They can cut back a little, but not much. Oil prices are now hovering around $50 per barrel, and that is having a huge impact on consumer spending.
"Economists we've talked to who study the oil market say that gasoline prices at this level have already knocked off 1 percent from our Gross Domestic Product. We're expecting 3.5, but if we had energy prices back in that $30-per-barrel range, we would have GDP growth at 4.5 percent."
Henderson says another concern about the outlook for the remainder of 2004 is whether consumers can increase their spending given the amount of debt they hold.
With low interest rates, many consumers have refinanced their mortgages and used the money left from lower payments to pay down credit card debt, he noted. Even so, household debt service levels are at historical highs.
"It's now taking about 13.5 percent of income to service the debt," Henderson said. "One thing that is encouraging is that it appears to have plateaued. But it would be nice if that would start to decrease. For now, it may limit the ability of consumers to expand their contributions to GDP."
Despite the high debt levels and weak labor markets, consumer confidence remains relatively high, according to the Conference Board, whose surveys have become the leading indicators of how consumers view their economic futures.
"Both the University of Michigan and Conference Board numbers indicate that consumer confidence is about at the level it was in 1996, prior to the start of the economic boom," Henderson said.
Increases in corporate profits and improvements in the stock markets are also bolstering business confidence and underpinning the prospects for stronger growth in the latter half of 2004. Federal government deficit spending, which is expected to reach $550 billion by the end of fiscal 2004, is also stimulating the economy, he said.
The combination of those factors is also forcing Federal Reserve Board governors to take a new look at an issue that hasn't been much of a concern for several years — inflation.
"Commodity prices have risen sharply in 2004, which, along with factors such as industrial capacity constraints and rising benefit costs, are expected to increase the risk of inflation," Henderson said.
"But most analysts expect inflation increases to moderate with a return to more normal economic growth in 2005."

Thousand Oaks
The City of Thousand Oaks has experienced a recent increase in thefts of property from vehicles and open garages. The suspects in these cases have targeted both unlocked cars with items in plain view, and open garage doors that allow easy access.
On February 1, 2013, the Thousand Oaks Police Department's Special Enforcement Unit received information from a reliable source that (S) Tommy Gonzales was in possession of numerous items that were stolen from vehicles and open garages during the past month. Information was also received that (S) Gonzales was receiving this stolen property in exchange for cash and/or drugs.
On February 2, 2013, the Special Enforcement Unit served a search warrant at (S) Gonzales' residence with the assistance of the Thousand Oaks Police Department's Investigative Bureau and Patrol Services.
Numerous items of stolen property were located at the residence and the investigation is continuing as to who the rightful owners are. It is believed the stolen property is primarily from the Newbury Park area within the City of Thousand Oaks. During the investigation (S) Gonzales and (S) Ramos admitted to receiving the stolen property from other persons.
While searching the residence detectives located evidence that indicated (S) Gonzales was in possession of marijuana for sale, and in possession of controlled substances for sale. The investigation revealed that (S) Gonzales and (S) Sevilla have two children together; a 4-year-old boy and a 6-month-old boy. Due to the children's access to the contraband, the drugs and/or drug paraphernalia, and the exposure of the children to persons selling stolen property and/or purchasing drugs at the residence a DEC (Drug Endangered Children) investigation was initiated. Ventura County Child Protective Services Agency was requested to respond to the location. Child Protective Services conducted their own investigation and ultimately took the two children into protective custody.
(S) Gonzales was arrested for four felony counts: 273a(a) PC ' Child Endangerment, 496(a) PC - Possession of stolen property, 11351 H&S ' Possession for sale of a controlled substance, and 11359 H&S ' Possession for sale of marijuana. He was booked at the East County Jail on $50,000.00 bail.
(S) Sevilla was arrested for one felony count: 273a(a) PC ' Child Endangerment. She was booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility on $50,000.00 bail.
(S) Ramos was arrested for one felony count: 496(a) PC ' Possession of stolen property. He was booked at the East County Jail on $10,000.00 bail.
The Thousand Oaks Police Department would not have located these suspects without this crucial tip from the public. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activity, as it may lead to the piece of the puzzle that can solve a crime. Citizens are also reminded to lock their cars, avoid leaving items of value in their cars, and assure they close their garage doors.
Ventura County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 reward for information, which leads to the arrest and criminal complaint against the person(s) responsible for these types of crimes. The caller may remain anonymous. The call is not recorded. Call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
