KIBUMBA, Congo (AP) — Congo residents and M23 rebels say that another rebel group, the FDLR, has crossed the border into Rwanda and is fighting the Rwandan army.
An M23 officer who would only give his name as Lt. Paluku and people who live in the Congolese village of Kibumba say they have heard fighting at the border since 5 a.m.
Hours later AP journalists were fired at by FDLR soldiers retreating from the border. No reporters were injured.
The Democratic Force for the Liberation of Rwanda, known by its French acronym FDLR, is a group of Hutu extremists, many of whom are blamed for leading Rwanda's 1994 genocide of Tutsis. FDLR members fled to eastern Congo after the massacres. The FDLR has fought the Rwandan army, the Congo army and other militias.

From the mind of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions comes Brütal Legend , a 3rd person Action game rich in combat, imagery and storytelling that delivers lighter-flicking fun sure to melt your face clean off.
Brütal Legend tells the tale Eddie Riggs, the ultimate roadie. The "roadie's roadie", Eddie is the 1st person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged. With a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every Heavy Metal album cover, and the lyrics those albums contained, committed to memory, Eddie has always felt out of place, like he should have been born earlier, when the music was real.
One night a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious. With his blood dripping into the belt buckle he wears, a gift from his father, his blood quenches an ancient thirst that sucks him into a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar, a world where every Heavy Metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life, a world where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans.
Led by Lars Halford alongside his sister Lita and the mysterious Ophelia, the human resistance is far from helpless. However, what they lack is someone to bring them all together; someone who can organize them and lead them into battle, what they need is a roadie. Under Eddie's command, this barbaric force of hot-rods, Marshall stacks, leather, and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of Metal.
Reserve Brutal Legend and receive a GameStop Exclusive Tenacious D in-game guitar. This amazing piece of badness will feature an entirely new and different suite of effects – not only a unique, sexy body inspired by the members of Tenacious D, but new sound effects, new voice over work from Jack Black and Kyle Gass and a new visual effects suite – trust us, it's going to rule very, very hard. This epic guitar will also be seen by other players in multiplayer, albeit briefly, as you destroy them with this GameStop Exclusive Guitar. Available for online and in-store customers while supplies last.
Key Features
- Brütal Legend's core gameplay is classic Action. From close quarter blows delivered by The Separator, Eddie's blood soaked broad axe, to ranged combat from your demon-slaying guitar named Clementine, as well as vehicular attacks supplied by your hot rod, The Deuce (aka The Druid Plow), Brütal Legend delivers deep, rewarding, fun combat that will have you throwing your "devil horns" in the air.
- Inspired by some of the most iconic album art and lyrics of all-time, Brütal Legend features a streaming, open world rich with detail, from mountains made of guitar amps to big block V8 engines rising from the ground, delivering a world truly unique and unlike anything you've seen before.
- Lead by Jack Black as the voice of Eddie Riggs, the epic cast of Brütal Legend features vocal talent providing by some of Metal's biggest names, including Rob Halford of Judas Priest, Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Lita Ford and more.
- Take the Metal madness online in Brütal Legend's Multiplayer mode that combines action combat with a strategic unit-control mechanic that allows the player to direct their army in The Battle of the Bands, where the ultimate trophy is survival
- Gain "Lighter Tributes" throughout the world and visit The Motorforge, where you can upgrade The Separator, Clementine and The Deuce to make them even more lethal on the battlefields
- Known for creating a level depth and humor in his characters, Tim Schafer is consistently recognized as one of the gaming industry's premier designers and has written such classics as Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and PsychoNauts.
- Brütal Legend will feature a fully licensed soundtrack that includes some of the greatest Metal and Rock and Roll songs ever assembled.

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling
c.2012, Little, Brown $35/$35.99 Canada 503 pages
When you're gone, you'll leave behind many important things.
There'll be photos and memorabilia, money, bric-a-brac and property to divvy up. Great-grandma's china goes here, your mother's jewelry there and a cherished belonging of your father's will become someone else's cherished belonging.
When you're dead and gone, you'll leave many things behind because you can't take them with you — although, in the new novel The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, some wished that Barry Fairbrother had.
Everyone in the small England town of Pagford was shocked when Barry Fairbrother died of an aneurism. He was alive one minute, gone the next — but definitely not forgotten.
That's because Barry's death left a "casual vacancy" on the Pagford Parish Council. In a normal year, that wouldn't have meant much but this year, Barry's vote on the issue of the Fields, a housing complex, was an important one.
Political wrangling and dirty deals had allowed the Fields to be built on the outskirts of Pagford some 60 years ago, which was a sore point ever since. Always intended for lower-income residents, the area was once tidy and well kept but was now rundown, garbage-filled, and filthy with a rehab clinic conveniently nearby. Disgusted, many Pagford residents wanted the Fields annexed to nearby Yarvil, the clinic closed, and the issue put behind them for good.
Barry, who'd grown up in the Fields, knew how important it was for the development to remain a part of Pagford. Fields children were allowed to attend better schools in Pagford, which was one way out of poverty. He was adamant about this and had been gathering supporters on the council.
The casual vacancy, and the matter of filling it, could change everything. Pro-Fields Pagfordians wanted to fill Barry's seat with someone of the same opinion. The majority, however, was glad to see one less bleeding-heart liberal on the council.
Meanwhile, over at the Fields, a child was fighting for her life.
Though it's undoubtedly going to happen, it would be unfair to compare this novel to the Harry Potter books. They're worlds apart.
Author J.K. Rowling's character development is stellar (as usual) and, perhaps because she doesn't have the luxury of seven volumes, her story is tight and succinct. Here, we meet a dead man whose presence continually lingers through the lives of friends and enemies alike. Here, we're plunged into a small town filled with sniping residents, each desperate to keep a deep secret under wraps, each afraid that something is going horribly, uncontrollably wrong – and quite often, it does.
This is a complex book with lots of layers, humor, pathos and allegories everywhere. Readers may even find a timely message in this story of rich and poor and the politics that accompany them.
It should be immediately obvious that this is absolutely not a book for children, but grown up HP fans will love it just the same. If you're up for a brick of a novel that isn't quite long enough, The Casual Vacancy is one you'll have a hard time leaving.

Eleanor Sitorius, 97 - March 31, 2013Eleanor Mann Sitorius, 97, long-time resident of the Gothenburg area, died Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013, at Stone Hearth Estates in Gothenburg.
A memorial service will be conducted on Monday, April 8, at 11:30 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 1401 Lake Ave., in Gothenburg with Dr. Jeff Thurman and the Rev. Donna Dudley officiating.
A private family internment, prior to services, will take place at Fort McPherson National Cemetery at Maxwell where she will be buried next to her husband, Romaine.
Sitorius was born Dec. 9, 1915, at Steamboat Springs to Albert A. and Annie Jane Mann as the next to the youngest in the large family of 10 children. She graduated from Gothenburg High School in 1933 and worked for several years at Potter's Pharmacy.
On June 30, 1940, she was united in marriage to Romaine J. Sitorius. The couple resided at Texas and California while her husband served with the Army, and in Omaha after World War II.
In 1950, she and her husband moved back to Gothenburg and the farm with their three daughters. In 1989, they retired and moved off the farm and into Gothenburg.
Sitorius was a member of the United Methodist Church where she attended regularly and served in numerous Methodist Women's Society positions over the years. She was also a 4-H leader as her daughters were growing up and a member of P.E.O. later in life. She was an avid bridge player and enjoyed reading, according to family members.
?She was preceded in death by: her husband, Romaine in 1998; her parents, Albert and Annie; six brothers and three sisters—Frances (Wesley) Poulson, George(Ruth) Mann, Ralph (Susie) Mann, Horace (Mildred) Mann, Lawrence (Ruby) Mann, Alberta (Chet) Stumpff, Mary (Stan) Tederman, Milton (Vivian) and Arthur Mann.
Survivors include: her three daughters—Susan Monk of Denver, CO, Jane (Patrick) Veress of Cambridge, England, and Sally (Wally) Trimble of Gothenburg; three grandchildren—Justin Monk of Denver, Molly (Marc) Logemann of Omaha and Sheridan Trimble of North Platte; five great-grandchildren—Jordon Monk, Jadon Monk and Layla Monk, all of Denver, and Schuyler Logemann and Ryder Logemann of Omaha; numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the First United Methodist Church, 1401 Lake Ave., Gothenburg, NE 69138.

BU student from Amherst dies in Boston
March 02. 2013 7:41PM
BOSTON - A Boston University freshman from Amherst, N.H., died early Saturday, according to the school.
Andrew Barksdale II, was taken from a residence on Wadsworth Street about 1 a.m. and was pronounced dead three hours later at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center, according to the university.
"Whenever there is a death of one of our own it affects all of us," Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore said in a statement. "Our entire community is deeply saddened. I hope that students will look out for each other. I hope they will use the resources that are available here, and I hope they reach out to friends, parents and loved ones."
Barksdale was a 2012 graduate of Souhegan High School in Amherst, N.H., where he earned the Coach's Award for varsity basketball, a U.S. Marine Corps Scholastic Excellence Award and a humanities award, according to Boston University.
His death is being investigated by Boston Police, who have indicated that no foul play was involved, the university said.

Movin' On
Hello, good reader-folk, old and new. Some stuff is about to rock the shizz-bah, and its time to come clean.
A local cornerstone of food-writing and restaurant criticism has finally decided to lighten her load, and hop on up to the upper tier of newspaper editorialism. Good for her- not so much for the public at large.
I received a call from the newspaper, wondering if there may be an interest in picking up some of the detail. My blog, my love of food, had caught their attention. And since I was writing about food and restaurants any way.... the answer was unabashedly yes, yes, yes!
We post-published an article or two from my blog, along with a restaurant review. My view, ha ha, seemed to be different enough on both levels to pull out a passionate reaction from folk. As with anything in the biz, some good, some bad. Either way, it's good that people are finally TALKING about food in a passionate manner- that's what its all about.
For the folks who have followed me since the beginning of "s'kat and the food", it's been an incredibly fun journey. I was already taking pictures of food and wine, and need some outlet to talk about it as well- a blog turned out to be the perfect way to do so.
As with so many other blog-folk, this has rapidly turned into more than I ever anticipated. The people I've met out there in the electronic-foodie world have proved kind, considerate, friendly, and more rockin' than I ever could have anticipated. I love the folk I've met through these tenuous internet connections, whether it be through blogs, comments or emails, I see one common cord shining through: real folk. Real compassion. And a love of good food.
I think this is going to be a good thing.
At any rate, I'm not ending my blog, but I am moving it. From here on out, you'll find me under the umbrella of the Daily Press at s'kat and the food. In addition to regular blogging activities, I'll have a restaurant review every Wednesday, and will put out two 'Taste' stories a month.
Things on the blog will look a little different. Foremost, it will be under the masthead of the paper, and that means adverts. Just scroll down if that type of thing bothers you.
Secondly, the blog will now be hosted by TypePad, and instead of the 2-column layout I use, its shifted to three. Other than that, folks, it will be business as usual. Be sure to update your links/feeds/readers, and hope to see you over there!

Checking in on the… NECPosted by rtmsf on December 29th, 2008
Ray Floriani of College Chalktalk is the RTC correspondent for the NEC and MAAC Conferences.
NEWARK, NJ – The Northeast Conference Co-Players of the Week were James Feldeine and Jeremy Chappell. Feldiene, a junior guard for Quinnipiac, averaged 27.5 ppg, 8 boards and 5 assists in a spectacularly well rounded week. Quinnipiac went 1-1 during that stretch. Chappell, a senior guard for Robert Morris and one of the NEC's elite, averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds over a three game stretch that saw the Colonials take road games against Lafayette and Central Michigan. The latter was played at the Detroit Pistons home at the Palace at Auburn Hills.
Rookie of the Week was Central Connecticut freshman Bobby Ptacek. The 6-3 guard had career highs of 20 points 6 rebounds in the Blue Devils' win over Princeton.

SunSite was created as a mechanism to distribute software to the operators of Sun equipment. Due to the creativity and commitment of a select few, SunSITE quickly became much more. Those involved with computing came to rely on SunSITE for software and support information. Others came to experience the literary and cultural opportunities that were changing the future of the Internet.
From those humble beginnings, SunSITE has grown into one of the most visited locations on the World Wide Web. People from around the world visit us everyday. Our reputation for creative and informative offerings has helped us achieve top ranking in many of the surveys and evaluations of Internet publications.
It was the perfect solution to the needs of a commercial interest and an educational institution. Sun Microsystems was looking for a distribution channel for its software and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was looking for a system that would facilitate the needs of a growing number of prospective Internet users. This marriage of powerful systems and educational resources changed the face of the Internet forever.
The people entrusted with maintaining the servers at UNC saw the potential for more than a new electronic mail system. These administrators were not just computer geeks. They had the vision of a richer, more colorful future for the web. In an atmosphere of ever increasing commercialism and profit seeking on the Web, their vision remains a crucial alternative.
Our commitment to provide an eclectic collection of art and information has been rewarded with many different accolades. We regularly come out at the top of online surveys and contests. We believe this is because we have something to offer everyone, whether literary, artistic, political, or scientific. Today SunSITE is home to a vast collection of electronic information, from the unauthorized Elvis home page to the Vatican Library Exhibit. In addition to our "artistic" collections, SunSITE provides valuable political information from around the world in a variety of viewpoints.
We take pride in our diversity and our ability to utilize it. The creative people who have worked here have shared their knowledge and experience with all who visit SunSITE. The variety of talents we bring include computer technology, information systems, poetry, politics, audio engineering, video production, graphic design, and much more. Everything adds up to a visually and content rich experience for all who visit us.
If you would like more information about our history you can check out D-Lib, the Digital Library Magazine. In the February '96 issue you'll find a description of SunSITE as told by its 2 founders, Judson Knott and Paul Jones.

The subject of this article or section is part of Midsummer Fire Festival, a seasonal event that lasts two weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.
- Were you looking for the Horde Bonfire or Alliance Bonfire?
The Neutral Bonfires are located in very specific areas during the Midsummer Fire Festival. Those that are in Deepholm, Mount Hyjal, and the Shimmering Expanse are referred to as Earthen Ring bonfires, while the one in Shattrath City is merely called the Flame of Shattrath .
A player can toss a [Burning Blossom] onto one of these objects to gain Fire Festival Fury for themselves. It should be noted that right-clicking on the Shattrath City bonfire will flag players for PvP, though you can neither honor nor desecrate this particular fire. The Earthen Ring fires can only be honored through the quest below and not desecrated.

Have you ever wandered the sunscreen aisle, completely confused about what SPF really means, and which rays it protects against? Today the FDA announced that starting next summer all suncreens will have to offer broad spectrum protection against both ultraviolet A and B rays and have an SPF of at least 15, or else carry the warning label: "This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging." Previous rules only addressed UVB rays, and not UVA rays, which can cause skin damage and cancer.
Plus: The Truth Behind 5 Sun Safety Myths
Under the new law, sunscreens can also no longer market themselves as "waterproof," "sweatproof," or "sunblock" which the FDA calls "an exaggeration of performance." Any other special claims will need to be approved by the FDA and supported by data before it can be used on the label. Also, the SPF will be capped at 50+ since the FDA does not think there is sufficient data to support the claim that sunscreens with higher SPFs actually offer more sun protection.

Integrated tools enable true hardware/software co-development for SoC designers and embedded system architects
CAMBRIDGE, UK – April 3, 2006 - ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)] today announced the release of its RealView® Development Suite version 3.0 , at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley in San Jose, Calif. With this release, ARM has created an integrated, end-to-end toolchain for true hardware/software co-development, optimized for the SoC features most requested by embedded systems developers. These features include an enhanced compiler optimization engine that results in more than 10 percent improvement on the EEMBC score, a powerful debug engine with multicore DSP awareness, high-performance compilation of Linux, and GNU tools interoperability.
"For the RealView Development Suite 3.0, we focused on three key benefits for system developers: providing an end-to-end tool flow; enabling integration with key ARM® technologies as well as Eclipse and Linux; and optimizing system performance and compilation of Linux applications," said David Rusling, ARM Fellow and director of technology, Development Systems, ARM. "These three benefits greatly accelerate right-first-time development by enabling collaboration between hardware architects and software designers."
"With the RealView Development Suite 3.0, our customers can achieve significant code size reduction for Linux applications," said Jim Ready, CEO, MontaVista Software, Inc. "For the OEM, this saves money by allowing a smaller memory footprint, which reduces build cost. For the consumer, this offers longer battery life for mobile products."
"Nokia is pleased to offer Symbian OS OEM developers beneficial integration with RealView Development Suite 3.0 compilation tools in the Nokia Carbide.c++ Developer, Professional and OEM Edition tools," said D'Arcy Salzmann, head of Product Management, Developer Tools, Nokia. "OEMs creating new Symbian OS mobile phones will be able to improve system performance and decrease the size of their ROM budgets with the higher-performance code produced by the latest compilation tools."
New End-to-End Features
A primary goal of the RealView Development Suite 3.0 is to speed time-to-market for embedded systems developers as well as hardware developers, through hardware/software co-development. For this reason, the new tool is fully interoperable with the electronic system level (ESL) simulation models generated by the RealView CREATE family of ESL tools.
"Taking advantage of ESL tools for architectural exploration and system simulation is one of the highest-value activities that systems designers can undertake," said Daya Nadamuni, vice president, Gartner Dataquest.

An Ohio lawmaker on Wednesday touted the importance of the fetal heartbeat as an indicator of life as he urged a legislative panel to support a bill that would impose the nation's most stringent abortion limit.
The measure would outlaw abortions at the first detectable fetal heartbeat. That's sometimes as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
State Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, the bill's sponsor, told the Ohio Senate's health committee that doctors and nurses closely monitor patients' heartbeats and emergency responders check for pulses.
"Why, then, should we ignore this critical indicator of life when it comes to the very young?" asked Wachtmann, R-Napoleon, as testimony began on the bill.
Opponent testimony on the measure has yet to be scheduled.
The bill drew criticism from one Democrat on the panel. State Sen. Shirley Smith of Cleveland called it "another attack on individual rights," contending the Republican-controlled Legislature has already tried to curb collective bargaining rights. The union law was recently rejected by voters.
If it's enacted into law, supporters of the so-called heartbeat bill hope to provoke a legal challenge and overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion in the United States. The ruling upheld a woman's right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has said it would fight the heartbeat bill in court if it becomes law.
Questions about whether the bill could withstand a challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court have divided those in the state's anti-abortion community, who have had tactical disagreements over how best to quickly limit abortions.
Ohio Right to Life has remained neutral on the bill out of concern the legislation goes too far and that the high court's current justices would strike it down.
"The argument `we need to give the court the opportunity to change their minds' will likely backfire," said Stephanie Krider, the legislative affairs director for Ohio Right to Life.
Wachtmann told the panel bill has a chance. "If I felt confident that the courts would strike this down, I would not have carried this forward," he said.
Jack Willke, who founded Ohio Right to Life and the International Right to Life Federation, also told the committee members he believed the bill had a shot at overturning Roe v. Wade.
"This has scared the wits out of pro-abortion organizers," he said. "There is something almost magical about a heartbeat."
Willke has split from Ohio Right to Life to join Ohio ProLife Action, a new anti-abortion group that's pushing the heartbeat bill. The group has been urging state lawmakers to pass the proposal in a campaign-like effort that's included radio and television ads and a banner flown over the Statehouse in Columbus.
Ohio Right to Life is spearheading a coordinated effort among anti-abortion groups and their allies that's also linked to the fetal heartbeat. It's advocating bills in all 50 states that would require women to see and hear the fetal heartbeat before agreeing to an abortion, but would not ban the procedure.
Groups around the state have been dropping their affiliation with Ohio Right to Life, citing the organization's reluctance to back the heartbeat measure that would outlaw abortions. The largest chapter in Cincinnati, where the state movement was founded, has peeled away from the organization.
The GOP-led Ohio House passed the measure with a 54-44 vote in June. It's been stalled in the Senate since then. Wednesday was its first hearing before senators.
The heartbeat measure includes an exception for medical emergencies, but not in cases of rape or incest.
State Sen. Peggy Lehner, R-Kettering, said that while she is against abortions, she had concerns about having abortion providers determine whether a heartbeat can be heard.
Lehner said such questions over how the law would be applied "goes to the heart" of why the bill has received a less-than-enthusiastic response in the Senate.
The Senate hearing was more conventional in tone than those in the Ohio House, though just as crowded. At one House hearing, ultrasounds were performed on two women who were early in their pregnancies, so legislators could see and hear the fetal hearts.
One of the babies, whose heartbeat was heard in the House hearing, was carried into the room for senators to see.
"The House heard her heart," said Ducia Hamm, executive director of the Ashland Care Center, who oversaw the ultrasound in the House. "You get a chance to see her face and look into her eyes."
Bill Graber of Fairborn, Ohio, told the committee that he didn't want to see the state's money tied up in costly court battles defending the bill. He said lawmakers should instead focus on bringing down the state's 9 percent unemployment rate.
"I'm just here because I've had enough," Graber, a part-time construction worker, told reporters after the hearing. "If I was working full-time, I wouldn't be over here trying to torpedo their bill."

I mostly think it's about what you like. What moves you.
I used to be a music elitist....then realized why I don't like country music... James, apparently doesn't like dubstep. I'm with him on that. I just don't "personally" like it (mostly because I like that natural string bass sound more, is all). But to say there is no skill in "ALL" dubstep, is a bit off....ok, quite a bit off.
Medicine was a great band IMHO. Ambient rock music. I only know one other person that likes medicine. It's my favorite Brad Laner project. After the band Medicine, he formed "Electric Company". I wasn't a fan.....at all!
Point is, Brad Laner made one of my favourite bands....and one of my least favourite.
Shouldn't it just come down to what music you like?
Or should I bring my co-worker on here so he can tell us that all of our music tastes sucks, and that the Monkey's are the only ones responsible for making any "real" music. BWAHAHAHA!
But also, there are folks that have every ABBA album every made. Seriously...there are worse evils in this world, people.

Courtney Love
"Sid and Nancy," 1986 Before there was Kurt and Courtney, there was another reigning couple of rock self-destruction: the Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, whose volatile relationship was immortalized in this 1986 Alex Cox film. Love auditioned for the role of Nancy, proclaiming on a self-made video, "I am Nancy." Cox gave the part to Chloe Webb but wrote a small part for Love in the film. Love later played Larry Flynt's stripper-turned-wife, Althea, in "The People vs. Larry Flynt," a biopic about Flynt's rise to porn royalty and his legal battle against evangelist Jerry Falwell.

Police Re-Arrest Man In Acadiana Burglary Ring
Update: Jack Leblanc has been re-arrested in the case and charged with 21 counts of conspiracy to commit burglary of inhabited dwellings, 103 counts of possession of firearms by a convicted felon, 58 counts of illegal possession of stolen firearms and 1 count of illegal possession of stolen things valued at $7,020.00.
Leblanc was initially charged with the stolen gun that was tracked to an Acadia Parish burglary (home that was robbed on August 21, 2013) that yielded a large amount of stolen property being seized.
Leblanc's bond has been set at $2,000,000.00. He could face additional charges in three other parishes, including Acadia, St. Martin and Vermilion Parishes. (Since the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office joined the investigation, authorities say several items that were seized have been returned to home owners in the parish as well as the other parishes involved.)
It was a tip from a witness in Acadia Parish that helped local law enforcement crack a string of burglary cases in Acadiana.
Multiple homes in Acadia, Lafayette and Vermilion parishes were burglarized over a six week period according to Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office Spokesman Captain Kip Judice.
Officers were able to recover 70 guns along with jewelry and electronics.
Three people have been arrested in the case:
- Damien Schexnayder of Rayne
- Jerome Thibodeaux of Maurice
- Jack Leblanc of Scott
Vermilion Parish Sheriff Michael Couvillon said his agency investigated about 20 burglaries over the past two months.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a pair of lawsuits claiming the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was responsible for flood damage in 2010 to the Grand Ole Opry, Gibson Guitar and other Nashville-area businesses.
The companies claimed corps officials acted negligently in April 2010 by not lowering water levels at the Old Hickory Dam despite warnings from the National Weather Service that heavy rains were coming. When the corps did open the gates, the Cumberland River rose above the 100-year flood plain.
Government attorneys argued that the case should be dismissed because the corps was immune from prosecution under the Flood Control Act of 1928.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell sided with the government and ordered the lawsuits dismissed.
A third lawsuit brought by a Nashville attorney also was dismissed.

But it promises to get kids very wet, making it the perfect pit stop on blistering summer days. It includes water jets that squirt from the ground; a playground where kids can soak each other with squirt guns; and a bucket the size of a hot tub that periodically tips its contents onto eager splashers. There's also a relatively dry rest zone for parents.

Guest Post : Malaysian International Gourmet Festival 2012 @ Lai Po Heen and Mandarin Grill, Mandarin Oriental
Written by : Annabella Wong
This year marks the 12th edition of Malaysian International Gourmet Festival (MIGF), themed "Classical Chefs – A Symphony of Great Cuisines". There are 28 Malaysia's finest restaurants serve up Special Festival Menus at Special Festival prices accompanied by a host of Special Festival Offers from 1-31 October 2012.
Among the 28 restaurants, Mandarin Oriental's restaurants – Lai Po Heen and Mandarin Grill will be offering their new innovative gourmet creations available for this festival lunch and dinner.
Lai Po Heen is a Chinese cuisine restaurant in Mandarin Oriental which specialises in Cantonese delicacies and dim sum.
Chef Ricky Thein
Chef Ricky Thein, Executive Chinese Chef of Lai Po Heen is no stranger to the connoisseurs of Chinese cuisine in Malaysia. Chef Thein is a Gold Medalist recipient in the 5th World Golden Chef Competition for Chinese Cuisine in 2005 and he is also featured in several international culinary TV shows and events.
Here are the 7 courses from Lai Po Heen Festival Lunch and Dinner menu:
This attractive looking plate of abalone sitting on ice shaved is called Hunan Ice Chilled Whole Baby Abalone. The baby abalone comes with fresh pomelo, fruit salsa (under the abalone) and a caramel sugar stick. I was very impressed with the presentation and was not very sure how to start digging in! After much waiting and looking around at how other food enthusiasts attacked the cold dish, I followed suit. *grins*
Gotta love the delicious fruit salsa of avocado, kiwi, tomato and spicy sesame sauce that goes very well with the abalone.
Thinking that the abalone was impressive, the Double Boiled "Kung Fu" Soup kicked me off. The premium dried seafood, cordyceps, american ginseng, morel mushrooms and baby cabbage served in tea cup while the soup in the tea pot.
Simply pouring the soup into the cup like pouring tea. This is my favourite course among all. Love the soup very much and how we wish we could refill the tea pot! Everything in the cup is superbly good. By far, this is one of the most luxuriously good soup I've ever tasted
Seriously, I don't mind having to drink this as tea everyday.
Trio of Corn Fed Chicken
The trio is made of chicken slices as the base, wok seared szechuan pepper spiced and topped with crispy chicken skin.
The Mandarin Orange Sorbet is served on watermelon ceviche in a martini glass. This is available in the dinner menu and is served in between meal courses (after Trio of Corn Fed Chicken, before the Steamed Dragon Grouper Roll). The sorbet cleanses the palate after having meat and ready your stomach for the next food intake.
The steamed grouper roll with Hong Kong Kai Lan stuffed inside sitting in a pool of hot superior rice wine sauce.
If you see closely, there are wolfberries in the wine sauce which resembles little fishies in a pond. :3
This delicious fragrantful Sun Dried Scallops Glutinous Rice served in Dim Sum basket resembles Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice (Lo Mai Kai), except that lo mai kai is wrapped with lotus leaf and you need to remove the leaf before eating it. As for this, the rice is wrapped in spinach leaf, which made the whole thing edible.
Unlike lo mai gai, where the rice is sticky and chewy, the sun dried scallops glutinous rice is soft and fluffy! With the scallop sitting in the middle of the rice, making this whole course a delightful dig!
For dessert, we shared this Sweet Sensation of peanut coated butter milk cubic with green tea sauce (front) and passion fruit infused coconut pudding (back).
Lai Po Heen's lunch menu (5 courses – with everything above except Mandarin Orange Sorbet and a choice between the Trio of corn fed chicken or steamed dragon grouper roll) is priced at RM198++ per person (without wine) and RM228++ per person (with wine), and the dinner menu (7 course – everything above) is priced at RM288++ per person (without wine).
Then, we proceeded to Mandarin Grill which is one floor below Lai Po Heen.
Mandarin Grill is an exclusive and contemporary modern grill restaurant. The restaurant aims to satisfy both local and international gastronomists with a range of classic dishes with a modern twist. Mandarin Grill has a very elegant interior and being said that, I told myself that I must behave elegantly as well. *determined*

Mandarin Grill Wines and Champagnes
Mandarin Grill also offers an extensive selection of champagne and wines from both the old and new world. Lucky for us, we get to pair our meals with some good wines.
Seated with all equipments and tools ready to be used to dig into our meals :3
Tried my best to behave elegantly the entire night, but seeing these horn-looking salt and pepper shakers, I couldn't resist myself from doing this:
Well, I tried. Teehee..
P/S: No harm was done to the salt and pepper shakers. Also, none of them touched my hair, in case you're hygiene alert about it.
I don't normally take bread before meals, especially after having a few courses before at Lai Po Heen, as I would like to leave my tank half empty for the next few dishes that we're about to enjoy. But, everyone said that these homemade breads are so lovely, I decided to give in and grabbed the smallest bread there is. With the butter spread and sour cream, this bread should come in as a course on its on! It's really fresh and fluffy! *yums*
From the Mandarin Grill Festival Menu, Rabbit Loin "Perigord" is one of the two choices of appetizer, the other is Coral Dusted Bretagne Scallop.
The Rabbit Loin "Perigord" is served with lamb lettuce, cep mushroom and truffle juice.
There are two choices from the lunch menu for the intermediate course, Doversole Fillet or Duck Leg Confit "a la orange". The Doversole Fillet is served with salsify, baby spinach and grenobloise sauce. It is said that Doversole is the smallest flathead fish in the world! :O
The Duck Leg Confit "a la orange" comes with braised apple red cabbage and roasted potato dumpling. The duck leg is cooked to perfection. On its own, it tasted well seasoned, tender, juicy and succulent. Then, I tried the duck meat with the braised apple red cabbage which tasted like pickled Chinese cabbage (in a way), also a sip of red wine. Such mixture blends in the mouth and I finished the duck within seconds. No time to update this on Instagram at that moment. This is a citrus-fruity duck for me and enjoyed it over a glass of red wine.
I like how the Chef plays with the food presentation. It's like having to admire a piece of art (food) before eating them.
The Halibut Fillet "Winemaker Style" is served with white foam, champagne choucroute, pomme chateaux and caramelized grapes. It is said the halibut is the biggest flathead fish while doversole is the smallest flathead fish. So, here you get to taste 2 of the biggest and smallest flathead fish in one full course!
The foam on the fish is actually tasteless. Heehee.. I enjoyed the caramelized grapes as it reminds me of raisins! *nomnom* I find the fish slightly overcooked but still good with all the companions on the plate.
There are two choices for the main course; Halibut Fillet "Winemaker Style" and Pure Black Angus Tenderloin "Saliou". The Pure Black Angus Tenderloin "Saliou" is served with foie gras, brussel sprouts, smoked celery puree garnish bourguignon.
Don't you wish you could chomp that thick juicy yet succulent looking piece of meat?!
For dessert, there are two choices of either White & Orange or Chestnut Honey Sentenced Reblochon. Here we have the White and Orange – white sacher sponge, bourbon vanilla bavarois, and orange custard . This serving is actually for 2 persons.
Enjoyed this dessert as I arranged both the white and orange side by side and eat them together. Easily finish them within seconds!
As for the finale, we had this Petit Fours along with coffee and tea. Super love the Macaron <3
Mandarin Grill's lunch menu RM165++ per person for 2 courses meals and RM195++ per person for 3 courses meals, both without wine. The dinner menu is RM345++ per person (without wine).
