A 36-year-old Merced man was arrested Friday on suspicion of manslaughter for his involvement in a fight at a comedy show that left an Atwater man dead two weeks later.
The suspect, Jesse Joseph Saucedo, is the son-in-law of Merced Police Chief Norman Andrade.
According to Merced police, Saucedo was involved in a fight with Jack Kline, 55, during a March 21 performance by comedian Ralphie May at the Merced Theatre. The two started arguing over noise during the show, and detectives believe the confrontation escalated and punches were thrown. Kline admitted himself at a Modesto hospital a day or two after the fight, and he died April 9.
Although specifics from Kline's autopsy report were not available Friday, Sgt. Scott Skinner said the report concluded Kline's death was a homicide and injuries suffered from the March 21 fight killed him.
Police said Saucedo was booked Friday at the Merced County Jail on suspicion of manslaughter, not murder, because there's no evidence he intended to kill Kline.
Based on witness statements, police said it appears Saucedo and Kline were with separate groups and had been drinking alcoholic beverages before the fight between the two groups broke out at 9:12 p.m. March 21. Skinner said one of the groups was upset because a woman was "being loud" during the show, and they had asked her to keep it down. Words were exchanged and the matter became physical. Skinner said both groups were being combative, and it's not clear which side threw the first punch. Merced Theatre security separated the groups.
Skinner said police were called, but when officers arrived, Saucedo and his group had left. Police took an initial statement from Kline, who had a bloody nose but was walking around and talkative. Kline acknowledged there had been a fight, and said Saucedo had struck him six times. Skinner said an ambulance arrived and treated Kline's wife for a cut to her face, but Kline was not taken to the hospital that night.
Police located Saucedo and spoke with him that night at his home. Saucedo told police that Kline made an aggressive movement toward him during the incident between the two groups, and he punched Kline twice in the face.
No one who participated in the fight was arrested on March 21. Trindad said neither side wanted to press charges at that time, and the fight appeared to be a misdemeanor incident. "From my understanding, nobody (who was involved in the fight) wanted anything done," Trindad said.
On March 25, Merced police learned Kline admitted himself to the hospital. Skinner said police went to the hospital and spoke with Kline, but he still did not want to pursue any action against Saucedo. Regardless, police told him a report would be forwarded to the Merced County District Attorney's Office for review. Kline died two weeks later.
Detective Paul Johnson investigated the case. After the cause of Kline's death was determined, Saucedo's attorney, Neil Morse, arranged for him to surrender to police Friday morning. Morse could not be reached for comment on Friday.
Timothy Smith, Kline's brother in-law, was reached on Friday. Smith pleaded for privacy regarding the matter and did not elaborate about the case.
"The Kline family has complete confidence in the Merced Police Department and in the Merced County District Attorney's Office. The family does not have any comment regarding their loss, the circumstances, the investigation, subsequent arrest, or any other areas that may pertain to the death of Jack Kline," Smith said. "The family is making every effort to endure this horrible loss, and asks that the media please understand their loss and allow them to mourn privately."
Skinner and Trindad said Andrade removed himself from the investigation and did not participate in or oversee any of the personnel involved. When asked whether Merced police considered handing the investigation to another agency due to the suspect's relation to the police chief, Skinner said the department did not feel there was a conflict of interest in investigating the matter.
According to police, Skinner oversaw the detectives investigating the case and Trindad reported the status of the case directly to City Manager John Bramble.
The case will be turned over to the Merced County District Attorney's Office for a decision on whether to file charges against Saucedo.
Saucedo was released from jail shortly after posting $200,000 bail.
Investigators ask anyone with information regarding the incident to contact Detective Paul Johnson at (209) 388-7742, or the Merced Police Department Tipster Line at (209) 385-4725. Individuals can send information via anonymous text messages to the police department by dialing TIP411 (847411) and including "ComVIP" as the keyword in the text message.

'Dollhouse' poised to go promising places, but 'Dexter' disappoints
Every television show is a journey of discovery, and some of the most interesting ones center on questions of identity and memory.
Will Echo (Eliza Dushku) on "Dollhouse" (8 p.m. Central Friday, Fox; three and a half stars), who becomes a different person every few days, be able to discover and hold onto her true identity — whatever that is?
Will Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) of "Dexter" (8 p.m. Central Sunday, Showtime; two stars) be able to simulate human behavior so well that he becomes a genuine human being capable of real emotion? Will the serial killer's pose of normality become his true identity?
The latter journey sounds interesting — and it was, in the first two seasons of the Showtime drama. But "Dexter" has grown tiresome.
In Season 4, Dexter's life as a suburban dad feels claustrophobic, and the show has become repetitive and predictable. Despite Hall's undeniable talent and a brilliant performance by John Lithgow as the "Trinity Killer," this is one journey that feels as though it has dragged on too long.
On the other hand, it looks as though "Dollhouse" still has a lot of interesting places to go.
"Dollhouse" got much better in the second half of its first season, once it began exploring in depth its central themes, which center on the lies that "good" people tell themselves and Echo's increasingly dangerous search for her true self — a college student named Caroline who went to work for the mysterious Dollhouse several years ago and who has been mostly submerged since then.
In the Dollhouse's lush, underground compound, attractive young men and women are "imprinted" with various personalities to carry out missions for well-heeled clients. Those assignments can involve everything from espionage to adventure to romance, and between missions, "dolls" have childlike, blank personalities. At least they're supposed to.
Early in the Season 2 premiere, Echo marries a successful businessman played by Jamie Bamber ("Battlestar Galactica's" Lee Adama), but that event isn't what it first appears to be. Little on this show is, and that's a good thing.
Friday's episode of "Dollhouse" has to reintroduce the show's core concepts regarding imprinting and the sketchy Rossum Corp., which is somehow pulling the dolls' strings via steely manager Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams). As such, the episode works just fine, but I can't wait for things to get even more strange and exciting. (For three clips from the Season 2 premiere, go here. For all my previous stories on the show, go here.)
One of the great things about creator Joss Whedon's shows is that they're never strange for the sake of strangeness. There's a point to be made or a thorny issue to be explored, but those philosophical issues are threaded through enjoyably plotted, well-crafted hours of television.
I've seen episode summaries for the next few outings, and they not only sound interesting, they feature guest actors such as Ray Wise ("Reaper"), Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Alexis Denisof ("Angel") and Michael Hogan ("Battlestar Galactica") and Keith Carradine. All of which is icing on the cake of "Dollhouse's" unexpected second-season renewal. (The only downside is the fact that Amy Acker, who is a series regular on another show, won't be in every episode of "Dollhouse." She's the best thing about the season premiere.)
Carradine also guests on the fourth season of "Dexter," a show that, like "Dollhouse," wrestles with the price of deception.
Dexter Morgan is a skilled liar -- perhaps too skilled. The first two seasons of this show were compelling explorations of this lonely man's desire for connection and his quest to become, as he put it, "a real boy" instead of a puppet pulling his own strings in a quest to seem human.
Crime-lab technician Dexter Morgan, you see, has a "dark passenger" -- an impulse to kill (albeit by a strict code that ensures that only the worst criminals die by his hand). But that dark passenger has a lot of company in Season 4 -- a wife, three kids, a pack of nosy neighbors, a bunch of testy colleagues and, to top it off, retired FBI agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), who's investigating the mysterious Trinity Killer (and that's the most promising story line of the otherwise mediocre new season).
The scenes of Dexter trying to fight the exhaustion brought on by family life start to become tiring themselves. Dexter's life with Rita (Julie Benz) was never the most interesting part of the show, but now there's lots more of that sort of thing. Jokes about Dexter trying to fit in at social occasions were mildly amusing three seasons ago, now they're just predictable.
Will Dexter snap under the pressure of his busy new life? Possibly, but by now, we know the writers will keep on finding ways for Dexter to wriggle out from under any suspicion about his bloody activities. After four seasons of Dexter getting away with murder, more of the same isn't such a good thing.

CAIRO (AP) — At Egypt's Pyramids, the desperation of vendors to sell can be a little frightening for some tourists.
Young men descend on any car with foreigners in it blocks before it reaches the more than 4,500 year-old Wonder of the World. They bang on car doors and hoods, some waving the sticks and whips they use for driving camels, demanding the tourists come to their shop or ride their camel or just give money.
In the southern city of Aswan, tour operator Ashraf Ibrahim was recently taking a group to a historic mosque when a mob of angry horse carriage drivers trapped them inside, trying to force them to take rides. The drivers told Ibrahim to steer business their way in the future or else they'd burn his tourist buses, he said.
Egypt's touts have always been aggressive — but they're more desperate than ever after nearly two years of devastation in the tourism industry, a pillar of the economy.
December, traditionally the start of Egypt's peak season, has brought new pain. Many foreigners stayed away because of the televised scenes of protests and clashes on the streets of Cairo in the battle over a controversial constitution.
Arrivals this month were down 40 percent from November, according to airport officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Tourism workers have little hope that things will get better now that the constitution came into effect this week after a nationwide referendum. The power struggle between Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and the opposition threatens to erupt at any time into more unrest in the streets.
More long term, many in the industry worry ruling Islamists will start making changes like banning alcohol or swimsuits on beaches that they fear will drive tourists away.
"Nobody can plan anything because one day you find that everything might be OK and another that everything is lost. You can't even take a right decision or plan for the next month," said Magda Fawzi, head of Sabena Management.
She's thinking of shutting down her company, which runs two hotels in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh and four luxury cruise boats on the Nile between the ancient cities of Luxor and Aswan. In one hotel, only 10 of 300 rooms are booked, and only one of her ships is operating, she said. She has already downsized from 850 employees before the revolution to 500.
"I don't think there will be any stability with this kind of constitution. People will not accept it," she said.
Tourism, one of Egypt's biggest foreign currency earners, was gutted by the turmoil of last year's 18-day uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Scared off by the upheaval, the number of tourists fell to 9.8 million in 2011 from 14.7 million the year before, and revenues plunged 30 percent to $8.8 billion.
This year, the industry struggled back. By the end of September, 8.1 million tourists had come, injecting $10 billion into the economy. The number for the full year is likely to surpass 2011 but is still considerably down from 2010.
For the public, it has meant a drying up of income, given that tourism provided direct or indirect employment to one in eight Egyptians in 2010, according to government figures.
Poverty swelled at the country's fastest rate in Luxor province, highly dependent on visitors to its monumental temples and the tombs of King Tutankamun and other pharaohs. In 2011, 39 percent of its population lived on less than $1 a day, compared to 18 percent in 2009, according to government figures.
For the government, the fall in tourism and foreign investment since the revolution has worsened a debt crisis and forced talks with the International Monetary Fund over a $4.8 billion loan.
Morsi has promised to expand tourism, but hotel owners and tour operators say he has yet to make clear any plans.
Their biggest fear is new violence causing shocks like December's. Ibrahim, of the Eagle Travels tourism company, said that because of this month's protests, two German operators he works with cancelled tours. They weren't even heading to Cairo, but to the Red Sea, Luxor and Aswan, far from the unrest.
But some in the industry fear that, with the constitution's provisions strengthening implementation of Shariah, Islamists will ban alcohol or restrict dress on Egypt's beaches, which rival antiquities sites as draws for tourism. Officials from the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, are vague about any plans.
Ultraconservative Salafis, who are key allies of Morsi, have been more direct.
Nader Bakkar, spokesman for the Salafi Nour Party, told a conference of tour guides in Aswan earlier this month that tourists should not be allowed to buy alcohol but could bring it with them and drink it in their rooms. Tourists should also be encouraged to wear conservative dress, he said.
"We welcome all tourists but we tell them ... there are traditions and beliefs in the country, so respect them," he said. "Most tourists will have no problem if you tell them" to bring their own alcohol.
One Salafi sheik earlier this year said the Pyramids and Sphinx should be demolished as anti-Islamic — like Afghanistan's then-Taliban rulers destroyed monumental Buddha statues in 2001. Bakkar dismissed the comments as the opinion of one cleric.
But tour guide Gladys Haddad sees the Salafis' attitude as a threat, saying the constitution should have said more to protect Egypt's pharaonic heritage. "We are talking about a civilization that they do not acknowledge. They see it as idolatrous."
"Why would a tourist come to a resort if he can't drink?" said Fawzi, of Sabena Management. "People are coming for tours and monuments, and to relax on the boats. If they feel that restriction, why should they come?"
Nahla Mofied of Escapade Travels said the Islamists might restrict what tourists can "wear and do" but, given its importance to the economy, "they may not destroy tourism fully."
Complicating attempts to draw tourists back is the lawlessness gripping Egypt the past two years. With police supervision low, tourist touts increasingly assault guides and even tourists to demand business. In September, 150 tour guides held a protest against attacks by vendors.
"We have struggled with this problem since before the revolution, but now the situation is completely out of control," Ibrahim said.
At the Giza Pyramids, police seem indifferent to the touts. Camel-riding police even join in, pushing tourists to take rides.
Gomaa al-Gabri, an antiquities employee, was infuriated at the sight, shouting, "You sons of dogs" and a slew of other insults at a policeman trying to get money off a tourist.
"They're trying to take away my income," said the father of 11. "In Mubarak's time we wouldn't dare talk to them like this. Now I can hit him with a shoe on his head and he can't speak."
For some tourists at the Pyramids, the chaos is part of the experience.
"I just love it," British tourist Brian Wilson said. "You can't blame people wanting to make money."

Reinforcing gender-based power structures in the workplace
Picture a man in his 60s. He's been married for more than 30 years. His kids have all grown up and left home, moving on to college and jobs and families of their own. It's a safe bet that he and his wife aren't trying to have more children, and sex is for, to use the church's terminology, strictly unitive purposes.
Can you imagine that man having to march down to HR and ask for a permission slip from his HR to get his insurance to cover his Viagra prescription because his employer didn't think that unitive purposes of sex should ever be divorced from the procreative purposes? What if his Viagra was used to, I don't know, treat his migraines?
Yesterday, CNN published on its blog an essay from an anonymous woman working for a Catholic social service agency. She wrote (emphasis mine):
When a colleague with a cancer-causing condition at my Catholic nonprofit needed contraception for her treatment last year, she didn't know where to turn. Our employer doesn't provide access to contraception, and she couldn't afford the medication. Her condition got worse.
After months of waiting for permission from our employer, she was finally granted contraception coverage, and her condition improved. But she suffered needlessly in the interim.
Another co-worker, we learned, was paying $90 a month out-of-pocket for the contraception she needs to treat her polycystic fibrosis. That's a significant monthly expense, especially considering "the pill" is the most commonly prescribed drug for women.
HR told us we had to ask permission of the agency's CEO on a case-by-case basis. It reminded me of when I first got my period at age 12. My cramps were so bad that my pediatrician recommended contraception.
I had to ask my father's permission. The only difference today is my colleagues and I aren't young girls; the CEO isn't our father.
What if one of these women was your daughter or sister or best friend? Would you be outraged? We—as Catholics—should be outraged that women are being forced to get permission slips from their employers to fill birth control prescriptions! It's true, they could be using them for contraceptive purposes, and of course, the church doesn't want to pay for that. But what about giving employees, human beings who take often low-paying jobs, to take care of others on behalf of the church, the benefit of the doubt? Where's the trust in faithful women to make informed decisions about their own health?
The church needs people who have the calling to serve others. The world needs them. So why are we treating them with such utter disrespect? Such a lack of compassion and faith?
Stories such as this have made me realize one thing. There is a thread of truth to the rhetoric in the response to the mandate: It's not about the church's teaching on contraception. But it's not about religious liberty either. Rather, it's about power and authority and the bishops' attempt to wrest it from the hands of an informed, educated, and committed laity, largely comprised of who? Women.
How employees are going to use medication prescribed to them by their doctor is no business of the bishops nor is it of the CEO of church-run institutions. We can pray that the church's teaching continues to influence the day-to-day decision making of the faithful, that it's presence in the world is a sign and symbol of the compassion and love that are to guide us daily. We can pray that this is true even for non-Catholic employees of the church. But if we're to treat the faithful like adults, and expect them to act like adults, we absolutely cannot practice this permission slip policy. It's demeaning and gross.

Be sensible.
Although sport climbing is well entrenched as the most popular form of Blueys climbing, mixed-climbing on gear and bolts has generally been the rule over the long term. Please try to use available natural gear where possible, and do not bolt cracks or potential trad climbs.
Because of the softness of Blue Mountains sandstone, bolting should only be done by those with a solid knowledge of glue-in equipping. A recent fatality serves as a reminder that this is not an area to experiment with bolting.
If you do need to top rope, please do it through your own gear as the wear on the anchors is both difficult and expensive to maintain.
It would be appreciated if brushing of holds becomes part of your climbing routine - do it with a soft bristled brush and never a steel brush!
The removal of vegetation - both from the cliff bases and the climbs - is not seen as beneficial to aesthetics of the environment nor to our access to it. However, the fast growing scrub can conceal walking tracks in mere months, so bringing a pair of secaturs and pruning as you walk is a good way of helping out with the constant task of track maintenance. Some appropriately discreet pruning is a far better alternative then track braiding (which causes far more damage). It's also a good warmup for your forearms! However, do so only on Council land and not in the National Park.

FinREC and TIC Weigh in on Two of FASB's Financial Instrument Proposals
July 18, 2013
The Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC) and the PCPS Technical Issues Committee (TIC) of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) recently issued two comment letters on FASB's proposed Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs).
The first FinREC comment letter was in response to the FASB's proposed ASU on Financial Instruments, Credit Losses. FinREC advised the FASB that the credit loss proposal still requires significant work in order for it to be operational and result in an improvement in financial reporting that is representationally faithful. For example, the proposed credit loss model:
• Lacks a strong enough conceptual basis for sound financial reporting;
• Departs significantly from the incurred loss model;
• Creates two incompatible loss contingency models;
• Double counts expected losses, and
• Creates an increased but unjustifiable accounting and financial reporting burden for smaller financial institutions and nonfinancial services entities.
Therefore, while the current model could be improved, the proposed model falls short of achieving the FASB's stated objective. FinREC encouraged the FASB to continue to work closely with the IASB to develop a high quality and converged model. As a solution, FinREC suggested that the current incurred loss model be retained with improvements, such as lowering the threshold of when credit losses should be recognized from "probable" to "more likely than not," in order to achieve a more timely recognition of losses.
The PCPS Technical Issues Committee (TIC) issued a separate comment letter. TIC's objective is to represent the views of local and regional firms on professional issues in keeping with the public interest. That letter expressed concern that this model would apply broadly to all entities (public and private), yet stated there is no evidence that its provisions were filtered through the Private Company Decision-Making Framework (PCDMF) or discussed in a public meeting with the Private Company Council (PCC). It attempts to be a one-size-fits-all solution for an industry-specific financial reporting problem and fails to take into consideration the differential factors between public and private companies. Like FinREC, TIC believes the incurred-loss model is the most relevant and the most cost-effective impairment model, particularly for nonfinancial, nonpublic entities.
FinREC's second comment letter was written in response to the proposed ASU on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. FinREC acknowledged that there were many positive aspects to the proposal. For example, FinREC said it is supportive of the notion that there should be one accounting model for all financial instruments. FinREC also agreed that entities should be required to report fluctuations in instrument-specific credit risk (own credit) in other comprehensive income (OCI) rather than net income for liabilities under the fair value option election. Likewise, FinREC supported the FASB's position on changes in fair value of equity securities being recorded through net income. Finally, FinREC supported the elimination of the tainting provisions for sales from the hold-to-collect category.
However, there were other areas in the proposal that FinREC found problematic. Concerns FinREC raised include:
• Complexities will be encountered with the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) model;
• Amortized cost sales provisions are too restrictive;
• Hedge accounting of interest rate risk for securities held at amortized cost is precluded while it is permitted for loans carried at amortized cost;
• Bifurcation and the fair value option (FVO) of financial assets should be allowed to achieve parallel treatment to that permitted for financial liabilities;
• Reclassification provisions are too restrictive and not clear enough;
• Nonrecourse liabilities should have parallel treatment to the related financial assets;
• Parenthetical disclosure on the balance sheet of amortized cost and fair value should instead be required in the footnotes;
• Limiting the availability of the fair value option is not appropriate, and
• Disclosures place an undue financial reporting burden on smaller financial institutions and nonfinancial entities.
Consistent with the recommendation made in the credit impairment letter, FinREC also encouraged the FASB to continue to work with the IASB to achieve convergence or two closely aligned models. Additionally, FinREC proposed that rather than moving to a new SPPI model, FASB should retain the current clearly and closely related model as most of the issues with this model initially raised upon implementation have been now been resolved.
TIC also issued a comment letter on this proposal. TIC wrote it believes the new comprehensive recognition and measurement model in the 2013 ED is an improvement over the 2010 ED, which favored fair value as the primary measurement model for financial instruments. The 2013 proposal provides more opportunities for use of the amortized cost method for some financial assets and most financial liabilities, which TIC prefers.
However, TIC also had some continuing concerns about the scope and complexity of the ED and the lack of guidance pertaining to non-financial, nonpublic entities. TIC recommended a scope exclusion for short-term trade receivables and payables and related party loans with owners. If that's not possible, TIC requested that the standard include examples that address the accounting for factoring short-term receivables and related party loans from/to owners of a business because they are common transactions among nonpublic entities.
TIC called for greater clarity in many specific sections of the guidance, which discusses complex topics in unnecessarily complicated language. In its letter, TIC emphasized the importance of providing "plain-English" guidance, especially for private entities. Otherwise, key principles may be misunderstood resulting in misapplication of the final standard.
In preparation for its post-exposure re-deliberations on these EDs, the FASB staff has reached out to TIC for additional feedback on both comment letters.

Alisha's Kitchen Under the Sleeping Loft
This tiny cottage guest house in Fairfax, California is big on happy, bright, vintage style. The cottage itself is only 320 square feet, but it has high ceilings which make it feel a lot more open—and enable a sleeping loft! It's beneath that sleeping loft that you'll find the tiny kitchen, decked out with vintage dishes and energy-efficient appliances.
As owner Alisha tells Apartment Therapy in this 2010 House Tour, her style can be defined as "buttoned-up east coast prepster meets flip-flop Cali girl." Her husband Graham offers "form, function and an eye for classic style," while Alisha provides "a casual spontaneity, sprinkles of seashells and the colors of sunny skies over turquoise seas." All of that is certainly in display in this charming cottage kitchen!

Make Forstner-powered Dovetail Pins
Chiseling and paring away the waste between dovetail pins can be largely eliminated by using a Forstner bit to remove the waste. Set up a Forstner bit (the diameter equal to your drawer side thickness) in your drill press and set the depth stop to just shy of the bottom layout line. Drill into the rear face of the piece, then simply pare the remaining waste for a perfect fit. This trick saves a lot of time.

How to Talk to Your Friends About Copenhagen
I grew up with the idea that it's rude to bring up, in polite conversation, religion, politics, or, say, my views about one of the most important negotiations in the world, happening right now in Copenhagen. The fact that I feel so passionately that we have to stabilize the climate only makes it harder to talk about. How do I even bring the subject up without finding myself on top of a soapbox haranguing the people I love?
But it turns out that talking about climate change may be one of the most revolutionary things I—or you—can do.
Media have suggested that Americans' belief in human-made climate change is wavering, though recent poll results vary widely. In October, a Pew Research Center poll said only 36 percent of Americans believe global warming is human-made, though 57 percent think there is "solid evidence" that it is occurring, regardless of cause. A November Washington Post/ABC News poll says 72 percent believe the Earth's temperature has probably been going up (down from 80 percent last year), and 44 percent think global warming is a very serious problem.
More interesting to me are the results from a deliberative survey organized by World Wide Views on Global Warming, a project coordinated by a team of researchers in Denmark, but done in partnership with research institutions all over the world, including several U.S. universities. In a deliberative survey, you don't just rely on what people have learned from cable news or Facebook. World Wide Views told its participants the whole story; it gave them the chance to review and discuss information from climate scientists, and even some climate skeptics. Their survey data are not perfect—only 100 people could participate from each region or country. (They chose five regions in the U.S.) But by the end of the process, 91 percent of the 4,000 people worldwide who participated in the survey said it was urgent that a deal come out of Copenhagen—including 9 out of 10 Americans, from all over the country, all backgrounds and political walks.
Photo Essay: Earth Under Fire
Photographer Gary Braasch chronicles the world-wide effects of climate change.
To me, these results suggest that it is possible to change minds, even in our deeply partisan country. If Americans got solid information about climate change, they might understand that it's both real and urgent. The more we all get the word out, the better our chances are for building enough public support to have ambitious greenhouse gas regulation. We're also less likely to stay quiet if Congress or Obama lets us down on climate policy.
But how do you bring up the story of the climate crisis on the phone, over a beer, or while waiting in line for the movies? And once you do, what do you say?
In the last couple weeks, I called up a few of my friends. I didn't go after dyed-in-the-wool climate deniers or any relatives, journalists, scientists, or friends who work for environmental groups, either. I was afraid it would be awkward to bring up climate change, but they actually sounded excited. It seemed they'd been mulling it over, and my call gave them permission to ask questions and express their own concerns.
This is a summary of some their major questions, followed by things I did say, things I wish I had said, and information I promised I would look up. Though I only contacted a handful of people, I think the questions represent common concerns and misconceptions. Consider how you might answer these questions, and then strike up your own Copenhagen conversations.
Friend: Yeah, I've heard a little about Copenhagen, but I don't know what the chances are that we'll get an actual deal out of it. Better than under Bush, right?
Me: Well, yes, our chances are definitely better than under Bush. Copenhagen is where leaders are supposed to negotiate a successor to Kyoto. Kyoto, obviously, didn't work very well, in large part because the U.S. never ratified the agreement. Global greenhouse gas emissions have risen by about 3.5 percent a year since 2000.
There are reasons to be optimistic about Copenhagen, and reasons to be worried. Everybody agrees that the U.S. is the most important key player. The U.S. and China are the world's two biggest greenhouse gas emitters right now, although the U.S. has been polluting the climate decades longer than China has and doesn't have nearly as big a population.
Following his meeting with China's leaders last month, Obama said that his aim for Copenhagen is not just "a partial accord or a political declaration" but a deal that "has immediate operational effect." China is now putting pressure on Obama to increase U.S. commitments to cut carbon emissions. And many smaller countries, especially African and island nations, are combining forces to push the negotiations toward more ambitious goals. There is tension between developing nations and industrial countries, and it will be a challenge, to say the least, to broker a deal that will be ambitious enough to satisfy countries getting hit hard by the effects of climate change. Those countries need financial help to adapt their technology and to develop a green economy.
The thing is, the eyes of the world are on Copenhagen right now. Many leaders would be embarrassed to see it flop completely, and they should be. News media, naysayers, and pundits have snarked about what we should expect out of Copenhagen. Multiple reports have declared the negotiations "dead," some before they even started; all of them have been followed, usually less than a day later, by more rigorous analyses showing that leaders are still taking the talks seriously. Major players like India and China have announced commitments to cutting emissions. Much is still possible, and we won't know the outcomes until the end of the two weeks.
I think we in the public should expect a lot from these talks. Just like your boss expects you to show up to work. And if you don't, she demands to know why you haven't. And if you keep missing work for no reason, you might lose your job. It would help if the public held leaders accountable—they have to show up to Copenhagen and broker a deal. If they don't, we should demand more, either by voting people out of office (some Senators come to mind) or staging direct action. That may sound simplistic, but consider that public pressure is the only strategy that has ever worked to push forward a people-centered agenda. We'll be seeing a lot of direct action in Copenhagen in the next few days.
Friend: But we're in the middle of economic recovery, and aren't these regulations hard to implement? Can't we do this slowly and gradually?
Me: We've been waiting for a couple of decades to take action on global warming. And recently, scientists have been gathering evidence that climate change is worse than they predicted even a few years ago. There are real consequences for everyone. If you live in L.A. or Las Vegas, your major water sources, Lakes Mead and Powell, have a 50-50 chance of going dry in 12 years due to climate change.
Leaders in Copenhagen are negotiating over emissions cuts that will decide whether we have a little temperature rise that many of us can adjust to—even though it will have some major, negative consequences—or a huge temperature change that could damage crops and cause food shortages, dry up our water sources, and change weather patterns so that we have more and more environmental disasters, including hurricanes like Katrina.
We can't wait because some changes to the planet can't be easily undone. When Arctic ice melts, for instance, dark ocean water absorbs more heat, making the planet even warmer. Such changes are called tipping points or thresholds. We strike many of the worst thresholds after a two-degree Celsius temperature rise above preindustrial levels. An analysis by the International Energy Agency predicts that for every year we don't act, the solutions become $500 billion more expensive.
Scientists say we've only got until 2015 to avoid such changes—level off global emissions, turn them around, and begin major reductions.
Some see the consequences as potentially even more dire. Kevin Parker, the global head of Deutsche Bank Asset Management, recently told the New York Times, "People often ask about the costs ... they don't look at the cost of inaction, which is the extinction of the human race. Period."
Moreover, a huge consensus of activists, businesses, and policymakers now agree that the green economic revolution won't be an obstacle to recovery, but the way out of the economic downturn.
Friend: My mom keeps sending me messages about leaked emails from climate scientists. What's that about?
At the end of November, a group of computer hackers leaked thousands of messages and insider documents from the Climate Research Unit (CRU), a major source of climate data, at the University of East Anglia in the U.K. Climate deniers got a hold of those emails and tried to use particular phrases and discussions within them to cast doubt on whether climate change is actually happening. For instance, one email talked about a cool "trick," i.e. an interesting method, a scientist developed to analyze tree ring data, measurements that can be used to estimate annual temperature changes over the long term. Conservative pundits deliberately misconstrued this message, suggesting scientists have been trying to "trick" the public.
Who's Polluting the Climate Conversation?
The money, CEOs, and Astroturf groups behind the doubt and denial.
This is mostly a distortion of insider conversations. Think about the last time you said something in an email that was negative, flippant, or sarcastic. Nothing in the messages changes the data. And even if the message contents did suggest that the CRU data were compromised, there are thousands of other data points from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and studies from around the world that provide overwhelming evidence that human-made climate change is real.
The real scams and hoaxes come not from climate science but from the fossil fuel industry, which has, for instance, hired people to pose as citizen activists and waged misinformation campaigns aimed at getting inexperienced reporters to pick up false information about climate change.
Friend: Can the public still have a say in what happens, or has everything already been decided?
Me: Again, not much will be decided until the end of the two-week negotiations. And while the public doesn't get a vote at Copenhagen, there are lots of opportunities to make your opinion visible in ways that get media coverage and sway public debate. One of the largest will be on December 12, when climate activists all over the world are staging a series of vigils and demonstrations. You can also write letters to the White House, your Senator, or the editors of your local news outlets.

No. 84,219
1. Statutes operate prospectively only unless the language clearly indicates that the legislature intended that the statute would operate retrospectively.
2. The language of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 8-262(a) does not clearly state an intention by the legislature that it operate retroactively.
3. K.S.A. 8-262(a) is a statute of substantive criminal law which either defines the crime or involves the length or type of punishment, and the form of the statute in effect at the time the crime is committed applies regardless of when the defendant is convicted.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; JAMES R. FLEETWOOD, judge. Opinion filed December 22, 2000. Reversed and remanded with instructions.
Charles R. Reimer, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for the appellant.
Kevin Stamper, of Cassell & Lower, of Wichita, and William F. Cummings, of Cummings & Cummings, L.L.C., of Wichita, for the appellee.
Before LEWIS, P.J., WAHL, S.J., and PATRICK D. McANANY, District Judge, assigned.
LEWIS, J.: Defendant Amanda Irene Edwards was charged with driving while suspended, a severity level 9 nonperson felony; no proof of insurance; and driving without a tag assigned to the vehicle. The trial court dismissed the felony driving while suspended charge, and the State appeals from that order of dismissal.
We reverse and remand.
The crime of driving while suspended was committed by defendant on May 5, 1999. The complaint filed against her by the State was filed on June 27, 1999. Prior to July 1, 1999, the penalty for driving while suspended after two or more convictions was a felony. The legislature amended K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 8-262(a) effective July 1, 1999, and the amendment changed the penalty for driving while suspended after two or more convictions from a felony to a misdemeanor.
Based upon the change in the statute, defendant argued that the date on which the classification of the crime was to be determined was the date of conviction. In other words, defendant argued she could not be convicted of a felony charge of driving while suspended because the statute had been changed on July 1, 1999, and on the date of her conviction, she would have been guilty only of a misdemeanor. The trial court agreed with defendant's argument and held the statute was to be applied based upon the date of defendant's conviction and not the date of the crime. Accordingly, the trial court dismissed the felony charge without prejudice.
Interpretation of a statute is a question of law over which we have unlimited review. State v. Lewis, 263 Kan. 843, 847, 953 P.2d 1016 (1998). We are not bound in any way by the trial court's interpretation of the statute. Cure v. Board of Hodgeman County Comm'rs, 263 Kan. 779, 782, 952 P.2d 920 (1998).
The facts are not at all complicated. Prior to July 1, 1999, if one were convicted of driving while suspended after two or more convictions, the conviction was a felony. Effective July 1, 1999, if one were convicted of driving while suspended after two or more convictions, the conviction was a misdemeanor. The question is whether the amendment to the statute applies to the instant matter. We hold that the trial court erred and that the amendment does not apply.
"It is well established that criminal statutes in effect at the time of the offense control the charge as well as the sentence resulting therefrom." State v. Patry, 266 Kan. 108, 111, 967 P.2d 737 (1998). The law is clear that a statute operates only prospectively unless the legislature clearly intends it is to operate retrospectively. However, when the statutory change is merely procedural or remedial in nature and does not affect the substantive rights of the parties, the statutory change will operate retrospectively as well as prospectively. The question in this case is whether 8-262(a) was a statute of substantive criminal law which either defines a crime or involves the length or type of punishment. See State v. Billington, 24 Kan. App. 2d 759, 761, 953 P.2d 1059 (1998). "Changes in the length of sentences for criminal acts have been given prospective application only." State v. Hutchison, 228 Kan. 279, 287, 615 P.2d 138 (1980).
In State v. Dailey, 228 Kan. 566, 618 P.2d 833 (1980), the defendant was a minor who committed his crime prior to the effective date of an amendment to a firearms sentencing law which excluded minors from its scope. The question was whether the statute operated prospectively. The defendant was found guilty and sentenced after the effective date of the amendment, and the law in effect at the time the crime was committed was applied. Our Supreme Court held in this case that the fact that the defendant had been convicted and sentenced after the effective date of the statute made no difference. The court applied the general rule that statutes will be applied prospectively and that the penalty applicable to a crime is the penalty provided by statute at the time the crime was committed. See 228 Kan. at 569.
In this case, at the time defendant committed the crime, it was a felony. We have examined the language of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 8-262(a), and it does not clearly state an intention on the part of the legislature for retroactive application. In accordance with the Supreme Court decision in State v. Dailey, the form of the statute which was in effect at the time the crime was committed applies. This means that in the event defendant is convicted of the charges, she will be convicted of a felony. We hold the trial court erred in dismissing the charge, and we reverse that decision and remand the matter with instructions to reinstate the felony charge against defendant and proceed to trial.
Reversed and remanded with instructions.

"Apple today announced it has sold over five million of its new iPhone 5, just three days after its launch on September 21, and more than 100 million iOS devices have been updated with iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile operating system." The last claim is debatable, but the figures are not - very impressive. Of course, do note that the iPhone 5 was available in more countries than the 4S in its first weekend, and if you take that into account, the iPhone 5 didn't do any better than the 4S at all (which doesn't negate the incredible sales - it just highlights the smartphone market's growth might be slowing). It's also lower than what analysts expected, but they're just monkeys throwing darts at figures anyway.

"Let me teach you how to write a song / The first line must be brief but strong /
And the second line should rhyme with something in your baby's heart /
Something that they know but cannot name / And in that way every song's the same."
From Every Song's The Same, track two on Lower Reaches.
Though he exercises some artistic license in the opening line above, Justin Currie points out that he's "as clueless as the next person" when it comes to the arcane art of songwriting. "It's a process that will always remain a mystery to me", he says. "When I wrote Every Song's The Same I was aware that it could be misconstrued, but it was more, 'Can somebody out there write something I can get excited about; something I can aim at?'"
After six albums with Del Amitri and three solo albums, what Currie has learned about songwriting is that you have to make yourself available to the muse. "Make sure you're bored", he says. "Make sure you're alone."
To that end, in 2012, the Glaswegian singer briefly extricated himself from city life. Renting a remote cottage, he hunkered down beneath The Cuillins, the mountain range that dominates the Hebridean island of Skye. Currie had no internet and no mobile phone, just an acoustic guitar, a piano, and a ghetto-blaster on which to record his ideas.
"I suppose it was a bit like my Brill Building", he smiles. "You're being your own boss and putting yourself under pressure to write. I thought, 'If it all goes to fuck at least I can go hillwalking…'"
It was songs rather than Skye's famous munros that got bagged, however. Currie wrote fifteen of them in eleven days, something of a personal best in terms of rapid-fire delivery. The Lower Reaches songs Falsetto, On A Roll, On My Conscience and Half Of Me were all shaped on Skye, and in the end Currie came back two days early and repaired to the pub for a well-earned pint. His mate Aldo remarked that he'd never seen him looking so relaxed.
By now the singer had over 30 songs demoed for the album that would become Lower Reaches. He'd noticed that, broadly-speaking, they addressed three subjects: love, mortality and music. Though his acclaimed solo debut What Is Love For (2007) and the follow-up The Great War (2010) had been self-produced, this time out Currie wanted an outside producer. He needed someone who could steer him on which songs to record, someone who would "take him out of the equation a bit."
Having heard and rated Clear Heart Full Eyes, the debut solo album by The Hold Steady's Craig Finn, Currie approached its producer, Mike McCarthy. McCarthy liked what he heard, and soon Currie was headed for the vintage analogue gear-festooned den that is McCarthy's Austin, Texas-based studio. He packed a copy of Amexica:War Along The Borderline, Ed Vulliamy's book about drug feuds down Mexico way, in his suitcase.
"The sessions were were actually quite scary", says Currie. "Mike just took over. He's revered by the local musicians around Austin because of his work on the …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead records, so there was no question of me leading the musicians.
"I hadn't met any of the guys he hired to play before I went out there, but even although some of them were half my age, they all had exquisite taste. I didn't need to explain any references or worry about the palette."
David Garza plays guitar and piano, and other musicians include members of White Denim, Phosphorescent and the Heartless Bastards. Together, they help Currie navigate a filler-less album that begins with a funeral and ends with a wedding. On the buoyant, almost Badfinger-esque I Hate Myself For Loving You and bijou, vintage beat-box propelled Priscilla, Currie's highly-attuned pop sensibility is well to the fore. There are few if any songs on Lower Reaches that don't have darker or more wistful undercurrents, however. Indeed, even On My Conscience - ostensibly a breezy, Byrds-go-Octopus's Garden-like palette cleanser - drips lyrical bile.
"I hate those really romantic, 'baby I'm going to take care of you' type songs", says Currie when quizzed about Priscilla, a song wherein the protagonist appears to accept culpability for damage to an ex-lover. "It doesn't give me anything to get my teeth into, plus I think you can be quite nasty in a song while the subtext is genuinely romantic. Look at I'm Not In Love by 10CC - it works because the guy so obviously is in love."
It's on Into A Pearl, Lower Reaches' remarkable piano ballad, that mortality raises its ugly head most movingly. Currie says he previously side-lined the song because "it was just too personal and emotive", and because of certain stylistic similarities to material on his What Is Love For album. The moment when his unguarded vocal glides up into the falsetto is quite magical; one of this album's draw-dropping moments.
Elsewhere, men - and perhaps women - of a certain age will identify with the conflicted protagonist of Half Of Me, a character torn between cordial-enough domesticity and the need to 'Go out blazing trails in a haze of rock 'n' roll.' We say protagonist, but we of course mean Currie, a man honest enough to admit that, even as he approaches 49, fifty-percent of him still wants to traverse America in a tour bus.
"Yeah, it's embarrassing, but the desire doesn't go away", he laughs. "Me and my mates will go out to Nice 'n' Sleazy on Sauchiehall Street and they'll be playing Cramps records really fucking loud. Everyone else in there is 25 and doing Jaegerbombs, but they look great. You catch yourself in the mirror and wince, but then you think, 'I'm not a golfer or an accountant - maybe this is okay.'"
In truth, Currie can hold his head high. And not least because he has just received props from the songwriter's songwriter, Jimmy Webb. Together with the likes of Brian Wilson and Kris Kristofferson, Currie guests on Webb's upcoming duets album, Still Within The Sound Of My Voice. In his self-penned sleeve-notes,Webb writes:
"Justin Currie is probably a revelation to some people in America. This is a voice you have heard somewhere and made a mental note to try and find out where those unique and seductive shivers originate. I thank you Justin for lending your great mastery and power to me."
All of which means Justin Currie can die happy.
It only remains for us to ask him about the significance of the title of his third album.
"I liked the fact that the only time that phrase appears is when such and such a record troubles the lower reaches of The Charts", he smiles. "I also liked that I travelled all the way to the lower reaches of the US to make a record. I didn't find it easy to cede all responsibility to Mike McCarthy by any means, but it was ultimately a brilliant experience."

Integrative Materials Design III: Performance and Sustainability
Presentation Title
Additive Materials Behavior: Importance of Collecting Data Along the Way
Amber Andreaco
On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Amber Andreaco
Abstract Scope
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been an enabling technology for various design advancements. As AM has moved from prototyping to production, the need for extensive mechanical characterization of materials is required. Connecting pedigree and process variables to property results is critical for establishing an optimized material/application combination. Some tests and test specimens are more beneficial at uncovering property variation resulting from pedigree and process changes than others. Building a comprehensive database of AM material properties and main sources of variation is necessary to facilitate its rapid adoption.

Babies directed by Thomas Balmés (Focus Features, 2010)
French filmmaker Thomas Balmés had a simple and brilliant idea: Put four babies in front of a camera for the first year of their lives and just sit back and watch in wonder.
Of course anyone who has ever been forced to sit through more than 20 minutes of a neighbor's home movies of their toddlers knows that Balmés and his crews had to do a little more than just let the cameras roll. Editing four years of filming into a two-hour narrative exploring the genuinely miraculous development of four remarkably distinct yet strikingly similar little humans took more than a bit of the curiosity, intellect, patience, and passion Balmés shows in his presentation of these babies.
In Babies we travel to Mongolia, Namibia, Tokyo, and San Francisco to meet Bayarjargal, Ponijao, Mari, and Hattie, four tykes growing up in vastly different societies, learning language, culture, coordination, and social skills at a speed that would terrify a downhill racer.
While scientists tell us that humans take much longer than other species to grow into adulthood, one can't help but marvel as these four babies struggle to master a myriad of human skills learned over millennia, all before they reach their first birthday. Watching these tiny fragile creatures stumble, grasp, struggle, play, and cry into an amazingly unfolding humanity puts all those accelerated clips of opening flowers to shame.
As any parent will tell you, these babies are unique and dazzling right from the start. And for all their frailty and smallness, they are each a human dynamo, endlessly curious about and engaged with the world around them, probing, testing, and (especially) tasting everything they can make contact with, while trying to figure out how to deal with a wide collection of other humans and critters who come into their space.
You won't regret the time you spend in their company.

The American Society of Engineering Education recognized Surendra Gupta, a professor of mechanical engineering in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, with two distinguished service awards at the society's St. Lawrence Section Conference in Buffalo, N.Y., in April.
Gupta was named the St. Lawrence Section's Outstanding Campus Representative Award winner, a designation given annually to the faculty member who has achieved excellence in his or her role as the society's representative on campus, acting as a liaison between the campus and the society, determining members' interests, promoting individual membership and encouraging involvement with members and students. He also was selected as the Zone I Outstanding Campus Representative, the second time Gupta has received this recognition for his role as an outstanding educator, student advocate and researcher.
Gupta also was part of the team that won "Best Paper" for "TiPi Scholars Program for Transfer Students from Two-Year Colleges" at the same conference. TiPi refers to Transfer Pipeline, and the paper focuses on persistence of transfer students into engineering and engineering technology programs. It describes the work Gupta and a multidisciplinary research team from RIT performed to successfully recruit, retain and support transfer students toward degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the STEM disciplines.

The paper describes how the university is addressing the gap between the number of students at two-year schools who state they want to attain bachelor's degrees and the reality that less than half actually enroll in four-year programs. Additionally, the research work also confirmed which support functions are needed and which compel student persistence to graduation from the four-year institutions.
"We have been focusing on transfer students in the mechanical and electrical engineering programs in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering as well as all the engineering technology programs in RIT's College of Applied Science and Technology," says Gupta. "I saw the statistics, and they were amazing. I did not know that less than 30 percent of students from two-year schools go on to four-year colleges. Then you start looking at why more students are not doing this, and you find money comes into play."
The National Science Foundation grant issued to RIT in 2012 for $599,984 over four years will go toward scholarships for 75 transfer students from two-year schools going into their third year of engineering or engineering technology programs at RIT. It also would cover recruitment and retention initiatives. Additionally, RIT will contribute $50,000 toward the program to cover a possible fifth year, as students in these programs are involved in mandatory co-op experiences. The support, says Gupta, will ensure that the students keep on track toward graduation.
The intent is to recruit 25 transfer students in each year of the grant. For the most recent academic year, the team recruited 25 students, and of this first cohort, all will return for their second year at RIT in the fall.
Gupta co-authored the paper with Vincent Amuso, associate professor of electrical engineering in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering, along with several department chairmen of programs in RIT's College of Applied Science and Technology, specifically Daniel Johnson, packaging science; Michael Eastman, electrical, computer and telecommunications engineering technology; and John Morelli, civil engineering technology/environmental management and safety.
Gupta has been the ASEE Campus Representative at RIT since 1987. The Pittsford resident has also received an American Society of Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Innovation Award and at RIT, been named an Eisenhart Award winner, the latter given for excellence in teaching.

It's Not Ours To Take
- Articles
At the beginning, we are all just innocent children, with empty minds, yet we have our high spirits of curiosity. Then, everything starts to change. Our pure minds get contaminated. Our pure souls start wondering for more. Power. And then there is war.
War becomes ineffective then, and some of those people start to think about a new way to terrorize. Which is then, they start to plant bombs everywhere. Millions have died. Luckily, some of them are caught. But unfortunately, again the government has to take lives.
Personally, I don't think a death penalty can bring peace. Especially when there are some people who just love revenge. And though one big guy is dead, he sure has thousands more who can replace him and think of a better way to terror. They killed many souls. Killing is not human. And by killing them, we show just how similar they and we are.
It's not ours to take death; nature does. But it is NOT impossible for us to make others change. Death is not everything, after all. Maybe you have heard the sentence, "An eye for an eye." So when thousands of people were killed by a terrorist, should you kill a thousand more to make avenge? And would their lives be worth it? I don't think so.
And people have been practicing this for like the whole time. And still there are no progress in dealing with terrorist. So it is proved that death penalty is not the ultimate way to remove all the terrorism attacks.
It's not ours to take lives. Just believe in karma, because it happens. There comes a time for everything. Death penalty won't work, but I believe that there is time to protect those innocent minds. Let the broken be broken (because it will be a very hard struggle to get them back), but don't let the pure get brainwashed. If we all can put the mindset of how peace works, there will definitely be less terrorism. Less death penalties.
Here's the logic. How can a terrorist get his followers? Not by violence, I'm sure. But he must have them believe in him. Through good words, supporting lies, and a great deliverance. Imagine how words and attitudes work. If take one's life, how can they not hate you? So they just plot another revenge and the stories will sadly never end.
In conclusion, death is not ours to take. Whatever the reason is, it is never the best answer. And I certainly am against it.

CRAB ORCHARD, Tenn. (AP) — Four people found shot to death on Thursday in a car near a former Tennessee mountain resort were deliberately targeted and not the victims of random violence, authorities said.
Deputy District Attorney General Gary McKenzie said in a telephone interview that investigators are still working to identify the victims. He described them as young and said some may be juveniles. He also said at least one of the victims was female.
The bodies were discovered by a resident of the Renegade Mountain resort community in Cumberland County who saw the parked car on his way to work at about 7 a.m. Thursday. Investigators do not know exactly when the shooting occurred, but believe it occurred within 24 hours of when the bodies were discovered, McKenzie said.
Investigators believe the victims were killed in the spot where they were found, on a side road in the 3,000-acre Renegade Mountain development, about 50 miles west of Knoxville.
McKenzie would not discuss a possible motive for the shootings, but he said investigators have developed some leads that they are pursuing. They do not believe the shooter was among the victims nor were there signs that any of the victims committed suicide, he said.
He said authorities do not believe community members are in any danger.
Homeowners association president John Moore said in a telephone interview that the area is wooded and isolated, with 141 houses and only 43 full-time residents.
"There are 10 miles of road on 3,000 acres," he said. "It's easy to get lost or be invisible once you get past the gate."
Moore said the community had controlled access with a gate until 2010, when new owners got rid of it.
Moore moved to Renegade Mountain in 2006 and calls it "the best place in the world."
However, he said, residents are fighting the owners of the community over how they have managed it. The residents sued in 2011, and one of their concerns is lack of security.
Since the owners got rid of the controlled access, Moore said, "there've been some break-ins, some sightseers, some drug dealers and some parkers."
Associated Press writer Erik Schelzig contributed to this report from Nashville, Tenn.

I am on a weeks vacation starting today and wouldn't you know it, I got an infection in my upper leg from something and it is swollen up quite a bit. On top of that I got a fever of 102. I went to the doctors today and got the results of my heart condition and that is getting better. My blood pressure is down and so is my chloresteral (forgot how to spell that). If I still have this problem tomorrow I guess it's back to the doctors office for another round of meds.
I guess hanging out at the beach for the next few days will be out of the question.
Just had to ***** about it.

With 47 seconds left in Lejeune�s homecoming game Friday night, the Devilpups had only one option: keep East Carteret from tying the game.
With 47 seconds left in Lejeune�s homecoming game Friday night, the Devilpups had only one option: keep East Carteret from tying the game.
After the Mariners scored a touchdown to bring them to within 28-27, Lejeune blocked East Carteret�s ensuing extra point, and the Devilpups held on to win the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference game.
Down 28-21, East Carteret�s Brennan Lewis scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to pull his team to within one. The Mariners originally opted to kick an extra point, but decided to go for two following a penalty on Lejeune that brought the ball closer toward the end zone.
However, the Mariners committed a false start penalty, putting them back five yards, and forcing ECHS to kick an extra point. Lejeune then blocked the kick to win their seventh consecutive game.
The Devilpups (7-1, 2-0), visit Pamlico next week.
�We just had to stop them one more time,� Lejeune coach Darryl Schwartz said. �The pass interference was horrible for us that kept their drive going, and after they scored, we told our players to watch out for them drawing you offsides. They did, but it was good for us that they had a false start, and by the grace of God, we did a good job blocking the kick.�
To make the win even more special, Lejeune senior running back and homecoming king Jamaz Richardson eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing milestone for the second consecutive year. He ran for 312 yards on 31 carries with two touchdowns.
�It�s homecoming night and I just wanted to win,� Richardson said. �I just wanted to make an appearance, have a good night, make my team happy, our fans happy and win this game. That�s all I wanted.�
Lejeune started hot.
Lejeune quarterback Daxton Derrick scored on a 1-yard run to give the Devilpups a 6-0 first-quarter lead.
Both teams had three turnovers in the first half, all fumbles, but it was Lejeune that capitalized on one with 3:50 left until halftime.
Facing fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line, Derrick found a wide open Alex Ynfante in the end zone to give Lejeune a 12-0 lead. Later, Richardson busted out for a 54-yard touchdown run to push the lead to 20-0 following a two-point conversion.
�We are a running team and the rain shouldn�t have affected us as much as it did,� Schwartz said. �We had six exchanges that were not good with the quarterback. That doesn�t happen because we practice in the rain and don�t fumble. So I don�t know what happened tonight.�
The Mariners would score with 16 seconds left in the first half when Lewis connected with Tre Stewart for a 21-yard touchdown pass.
It looked as if Lejeune would continue its dominance at the start of the third quarter when Richardson again found open grass for a 75-yard touchdown run to make it 28-6. But East Carteret would not go quietly.
Two big plays towards the end of the third quarter, a 57-yard touchdown run from Tydecian Simmons, and a 24-yard interception return for a touchdown from Jacque Brown that helped cut the deficit to 28-21.
However, it would not be enough in the end as the Devilpups came through with a big blocked kick.
Now the Devilpups can turn their attention to next week�s game at Pamlico.
�Pamlico is a very good team and they are actually mean,� Schwartz said. �Not a bad mean, they are just tough. We are just planning to get people healthy, and work from there.�
