As directed by the Minnesota Legislature and governor, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will implement the state's first-ever regulated wolf hunting and trapping season in fall and winter 2012. Today, the DNR released its plan, and it included a firearms wolf hunting tag and season that will be valid concurrent with the northern zone's gun deer season.
Here are the details of Minnesota's first modern wolf season from the DNR:
Season structure
- The Early Wolf Season would begin on the opening day of the firearms deer season (Nov. 3) and would continue through the day that the harvest quota is reached or until the end of the deer season. The season will be concurrent with the deer season, and open in that portion of the state where rifles can be used to hunt deer. The season would be a maximum of 16 days in all Series 100 Deer Permit Areas (DPAs), 9 days in select Series 200 DPAs, and all Series 300 DPAs will be closed to taking of wolves. Wolves could be taken by firearms or archery only during this season (no trapping).
- The Late Wolf Season would coincide with the opening of bobcat season (Nov. 24). The season would continue through the day the harvest target is reached or Jan. 6, 2013.
- The Late Season is open for both hunting and trapping and snaring. Trappers could pursue wolves without purchasing a small game license. Trappers born after Dec. 31, 1989 would need a trapper education certificate or proof of a previous trapping license to purchase a wolf trapping license.
- A person cannot purchase both hunting and trapping license.
License/harvest allocation
- A total of 6,000 licenses will be offered for sale, with a total harvest quota of 400 wolves.
- Licenses for the Early Wolf Season expire after the close of the Early Season, or at the end of the day when the harvest quota is reached, whichever comes first. Early Season licenses are not valid in the Late Season.
- A minimum of 600 of the Late Wolf Season licenses will be issued to trappers to guarantee that adequate data on trapper success rates can be established for future season setting and depredation control. If there are fewer trapper applicants than 600, the remaining licenses would be offered to the hunting applicants.
- The number of licenses offered to non-residents (hunting only) will be capped at 5 % for both the Early (180 out of 3,600) and Late Season (120 out of 2,400).
Seasons/Target Harvests/Number of Licenses
- Early Season
- The early season dates are November 3- 18 in Series 100 deer permit areas, and November 3-11 in Series 200 deer permit areas. The early season is limited to that area of Series 200 where rifles can be used to hunt deer. Series 300 deer permit areas are closed to taking wolves. The early season will close prior to the above dates if the target harvest is reached.
- Firearms/archery hunting only (no trapping).
- $30 hunting license.
- 3,600 licenses for sale.
- The harvest quota is 200.
- If the quota is not reached, the remainder of the early quota will be added to the Late Season.
- Late Season
- Nov. 24 – Jan. 6, 2013 or through the end of the day the total harvest quota of 400 is reached, statewide.
- $30 hunting license.
- $30 trapping license (trapper ed required if born after Dec. 31, 1989, no small game license.
- 2400 licenses for sale.
- The number of licenses will be offered as Hunting or Trapping based upon the proportion of applicants, but at least 600 licenses will be for trapping, unless fewer trappers apply.
- One application per person ($4).
- ELS will ask for proof of license purchase. If answer is "no", customer will need to purchase another license first and then apply for a wolf license.
- Applicants must select one option only from: Early Wolf Season (Hunting only), Late Wolf Season Hunting, or Late Season Trapping/snaring.
- A minimum of 600 late season licenses dedicated for trapping unless fewer trappers apply.
- Groups up to 4 individuals may apply as a single group, and may assist another licensed wolf hunter, but may not shoot or tag for each other (no party hunting – same as turkey). All of group will either win or lose the drawing. If a group wins each individual may purchase a license and take a wolf.
Geographic Scope
- Early season is limited to that area of the state where rifles can be used to hunt deer. The remainder of the state (shotgun "zone") is closed.
- The Late season is open statewide.
- Tribal or federal lands may be closed by the land authority.
- There will be no State rulemakings for federal or tribal lands but known closures will be identified in the regulations book.
- Application Materials Available online: Aug. 1.
- Application Deadline: Same as for antlerless deer permits (September 6, 2012).
- Winner notification & booklet sent to all successful applicants: October 15th.
- Winner notification online: October 15th.
- On Sale Date: October 15th
- Purchase deadline: the beginning of legal shooting hours of the opening day of the Early Wolf Season for the Early Season, and before the beginning of the Late Season for the Late Season (no license sales during an open season).
- If there are fewer applicants than licenses available, these surplus licenses go on sale on October 22nd, for both the Early and Late Season.
- Bag limit/possession limit: one
- Animal must be registered by ELS terminal, internet, or phone no later than 8PM of the day following the day of harvest. Site tag will contain all the same information as furbearer site tags.
- Harvest data will be obtained during carcass examination.
Carcass/pelt examination
- Early Season: to be determined.
- Late Season: by appointment throughout, or during previously scheduled fur registration time/date/places.
- Details pending.
Season Closure
- Live feed registration data to website and ACTIVE DNR 1-800 telephone number (registration telephone number).
- Season closure announcement will be automatic, based upon a programmed quota for the early season and the total harvest quota for the late season.
- Seasons will be closed at the end of the day when the quota is achieved. The season closure announcement will be made by 9PM. The early season quota is one-half the total harvest quota.
Site Tagging
- Yes, part of license like deer.
Public comment process
- Public comment will be on-line only.
- Wolf hunters and trappers will be surveyed after the season to obtain statistically valid preferences on season structure.
Estimated at fewer than 750 animals in the 1950s, Minnesota's 3,000 wolves are the largest population in the lower 48 states. The population has remained relatively stable for the past 10 years. In January 2012, wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan were removed from the federal threatened and endangered species list and wolf management became the responsibility of each respective state.
The DNR has not established a maximum population goal. Wolves are allowed to naturally expand their range.
A statewide winter population of 1,600 wolves is the minimum goal. If Minnesota's wolf population falls below this minimum, DNR will take immediate and appropriate management actions to reverse the decline and restore the population to its minimum level in the shortest possible time.

Marketplace Day makes entrepreneurs of grade schoolers
Submitted: 05/23/2013
- A marketplace might make you think of a city square or a grocery store.But what about a grade school?The Northwoods Community Elementary School hosted Marketplace Day Thursday for friends, family, and community members.Kindergarteners through fifth graders sold flower pots, lemonade, and artwork. But someone had to keep the peace, too."We get to talk to people and give away stuff. If we get enough money, we get to go to the ice cream shop!" kindergartener Iain Rumney, decked out in police garb, exclaimed.Ice cream was a top seller.The first grade room sold out of their stock."When everybody was done buying their ice cream, and we were all sold out, everybody was like, 'aw, I love ice cream!'" said Noah Bell, a first grader."Your mom and dad can come, and you can sell stuff, and you can get money," explained Maddie Ewan.Each classroom will decide what they want to do with the money they made.Some plan on donating it to charity.

DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — Calling a pregnant mother's death the worst crime he had ever seen, a judge sentenced an ex-Ohio doctor to 36 years in prison Friday as he blasted the defendant for not trying to save the woman as she suffered respiratory distress from a heroin overdose.
Former emergency room doctor Ali Salim had faced up to 37 years in prison. He was given nearly all of that with a sentence of 36 years and four months; a few weeks are likely to be subtracted because of time he's already served. He previously pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Deanna Ballman and her nearly full-term child, who was to be called Mabel.
Delaware County Judge Duncan Whitney also fined Salim $70,000 and slapped the state's toughest sex offender label on him, requiring him to report to authorities every three months for life when released. Prosecutors also say Salim, a native of Pakistan, would be eligible for deportation once he serves his sentence.
Whitney said Ballman's character had no bearing on the case, which instead came down to a doctor who failed to revive her.
"Quite frankly, this is the worst crime this court has ever seen," Whitney said. "You were a man of medicine, sir. To allow someone to die — you obviously were aware that they were struggling respiratorily — it's unthinkable."
Ballman's mother, Lori Ballman, called Salim "a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" who committed a despicable crime.
"You could have stopped it. You could have resuscitated her. You could have called 911. You could have at least delivered Mabel, so we could at least have her in our lives," Ballman said, addressing Salim. "But no. No. You chose to just let them die. You watched them die."
Salim, 44, apologized while acknowledging nothing he said could ease the family's pain. He said he allowed "personal, petty interests," including sexual relationships with many women, to blind him to the consequences of his actions.
"It is very clear that my actions have caused immense harm, and I can't think of anyone else but me who must be held responsible for those actions," Salim said.
When Ballman disappeared in July 2012, her family initially said she had answered a housekeeping ad on Craigslist. Instead, investigators determined the 23-year-old had taken up prostitution when she moved back to Ohio after a divorce and with no financial means.
The ad she responded to: "$200 for a girl in need," an online euphemism for prostitution, assistant Delaware County prosecutor Kyle Rohrer said in a court filing.
Ballman died of a fatal heroin overdose, which investigators say Salim administered at his house in an upscale central Ohio neighborhood. Rohrer says there is no evidence Ballman used drugs.
Ballman's body was found the next day in the back of her car on a rural road a few miles from Salim's house.
Salim's attorney, Sam Shamansky, said Ballman injected herself with heroin, while Rohrer disputed that as implausible given the injection was on her left thigh and the nine months pregnant Ballman was right-handed.
Salim realized too late that Ballman had died, Shamansky told the judge.
"He recognizes that had he followed the law, and behaved as a doctor should have, and behaved frankly, as a man should have, we wouldn't be here," he said.
In pushing for something less than the maximum, Shamansky said Salim could have fled to Pakistan in the months he spent as an uncharged suspect, but instead stayed put.
Shamansky also submitted Craigslist postings and emails that he said show Ballman solicited sex online.
Salim used Craigslist extensively to meet sexual partners, with many references in his ads to exchanging drugs for sex, including heroin, Rohrer said. Salim also wrote prescriptions for hard drugs for women with whom he had sexual relationships, and also bought heroin that he gave women who visited his house, he said.
Salim apologized Friday for being "an enabler" to these women, though he also claimed he tried to help them kick their habits.

Music Critic
Pasadena Star-News/San Gabriel Valley Tribune/Whittier Daily
When Esa-Pekka Salonen stepped down as music director of the
Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2009, it ostensibly was to devote more time to
composing. His output has been pretty meager in the last two years (just two
short pieces) but Salonen has won the 2012 University of Louisville Grawemeyer
Award for Music Composition for his Violin Concerto, which was premiered during
Salonen's final weeks as LAPO music director that spring. The award, which
includes a $100,000 cash prize, is one of the most prestigious in classical
The official release from the university is HERE. Mark Swed has an article on the Los Angeles Times Web site HERE. Among other things, Swed notes
that the L.A. Phil becomes the only orchestra to have commissioned and
premiered two Grawemeyer Award compositions (Peter Lieberson's Neruda Songs in 2005 was the other) and
Salonen is the only conductor to have led the first performances of two winning
scores (Neruda Songs and his own
concerto, which featured Leila Josefowicz as soloist).
When the Violin Concerto was premiered in April 2009, I wrote
that it was "a stunning violin
concerto, brilliant played by 31-year-old Leila Josefowicz, who was born in
Toronto but grew up in Los Angeles and studied with Ronald Lipsett at The
Colburn School." (My entire review is HERE).
For what it's worth I actually thought Salonen's Piano
Concerto, written in 2007, was a better piece but both are terrific. They
joined a list of notable Salonen compositions that included L.A Variations (written in 1996) and Wing on Wing, which was composed for the
opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2004.

Collins' hiring adds to buzz at Northwestern
Northwestern made a sweeping change by hiring Chris Collins in the offseason and sent out a loud message in the process.
Close calls are no longer enough. The Wildcats are looking for more.
That means establishing themselves as contenders in the Big Ten and shooing away that NCAA tournament albatross hovering above them, and they believe Collins is the man to get the job done.
They made that clear when they hired the former Duke star and longtime Blue Devils assistant to replace the fired Bill Carmody.
"You've got to have the results, too," said Collins, a head coach for the first time. "It's nice to have the buzz and the excitement and all that. But at some point in time, you've got to get on the floor and you've got to play."
Collins knows the territory.
He's the son of an NBA coach and a former Mr. Basketball in Illinois who grew up near campus in suburban Northbrook, Ill., before going on to star for the Blue Devils. Now, he's trying to accomplish something no coach has been able to do -- lead Northwestern, the school that hosted the first Final Four, to the NCAA tournament.
The Wildcats came close under Carmody, making four straight NIT appearances before crashing last year under the weight of injuries and a suspension on the way to a 13-19 finish. Now, it's Collins' turn.
He's facing some big obstacles, including high academic standards that limit the recruiting pool and an arena that ranks as the smallest in the Big Ten with a capacity of just over 8,100.
Collins is embracing the challenge. If nothing else, he learned from a Hall of Famer as an assistant to Mike Krzyzewski for 13 years, and his dad, Doug, is just a phone call away, too.
"It's a new era of Northwestern basketball -- good and bad," Collins said. "It's not all bad. There was a lot of good, a lot of positives. It's a team that was in the postseason four out of the last five years. My thing was let's just start fresh."
The season opener is Nov. 9 against Eastern Illinois, and with that in mind, here are five things to know about Northwestern:
LEAVING PRINCETON: The Princeton offense is out with Carmody gone. A motion offense is in and a quicker pace is coming with it, and Collins envisions a free flowing style that takes advantage of the Wildcats' versatility.
"It's going to be different -- certainly the terminology, some of the ways you do things," Collins said. "I also am trying to implement some of the principles and some of the things they did really well. I've always felt like coaching is not about being hardheaded and `this is my way.' Coaching is about taking your group and the players you have and making them successful."
CRAWFORD'S BACK: One of Collins' early recruiting victories was an in-house job. He retained Crawford, a senior who received a medical hardship waiver after having season-ending right shoulder surgery and could have transferred. That was big, considering he averaged 13.5 points in 10 games last season. "At the end of the day, my parents' advice for me was to do what my heart told me to do," Crawford said. "And pretty much all along, through that whole process, my heart was telling me to stay at Northwestern."
ALSO RETURNING: Besides Crawford, the Wildcats are getting guard JerShon Cobb back. He served a season-long suspension last year for violating team rules, leaving the Wildcats short-handed from the start.
MAKING A MOVE: As an ACC product, Collins knows a thing or two about tough conferences. Now, he's trying his hand at the Big Ten. "It gives me stomachaches at night," Collins said. "I got all excited. Our schedule was released a few weeks ago. I got an email, it said the Big Ten schedule and I opened it. I saw the first five or six games, and I got sick to my stomach. I decided to stop looking that far down the road." The first six conference games are at home against Wisconsin, at Michigan and Iowa, home against Illinois and Michigan State, and at Indiana.
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS: The Wildcats will have the tallest player in school history on the court this season in 7-foot-2 redshirt freshman Chier Ajou. A product of South Sudan, he's the cousin of the Chicago Bulls' Luol Deng.

The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance applauds the leadership shown by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Ranking Member Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and the entire Senate Agriculture Committee to advance a new Farm Bill. The Committee's proposed Farm Bill supports many of the critical priorities for specialty crops.
The SCFBA is pleased to see the proposed Farm Bill continues the important investments made in specialty crop programs through the 2008 Farm Bill. The Alliance urges the Committee to complete its work on the bill and pass this important legislation this week.
The 900-page Farm Bill proposal includes support for key specialty crop industry priorities such as research, pest and disease mitigation, trade, nutrition, and other programs that enhance the ability of specialty crop producers to be competitive and meet the needs of American consumers. The SCFBA believes the proposal put forth by the Senate Agriculture Committee is a critical step in maintaining the momentum begun in 2008.
The SCFBA applauds the broad, bi-partisan support shown by the Senate for advancing a new Farm Bill that addresses specialty crop needs. Earlier this month, 32 senators joined in a letter to Chairwoman Stabenow and Ranking Member Roberts that called for continuing the progress on specialty crop programs in the next Farm Bill.

I was thinking like hypnosis musharna max speed ivs and evs go to breloom set up swords dances and sweep maybe I also have a strategy.Breloom is 4x weak to flying so I can switch to wide lens musharna hypnosis charge beam get sp atk boosts hopefully psychic and if my hp is low I can dream eater on breloom I got swords dance mach punch seed bomb sludge bomb and as well as an eq aqua jet night slash sharpedo.Good idea or bad idea
Her first Pokemon is Spiritomb, a ghost- and dark-type. This thing doesn't hit terribly hard, though it can get really annoying thanks to its high defenses, lack of weaknesses and Will-O-Wisp for burning your party members. Use your highest power moves to take it out in a hurry - the dragon-type Outrage typically works quite well used several turns in succession.
Second is Milotic, a water-type. Pumped to the brim with harsh attacks - no less than Hydro Pump, Blizzard, Dragon Tail and Bulldoze - Milotic can plow through your whole team if you're not carefully. It's best to either paralyze Milotic or put it to sleep, then blast it with electricity. Physical attacks work better than special thanks to its stats.
Third is usually Garchomp, a dragon- and ground-type, depending on your Pokemon deployment. This thing is Cynthia's strongest Pokemon by far and, like Milotic, will absolutely trash your team if you're not careful. It's both strong and fast, and requires a solid hit from an ice-type to go down easily. Dragon-types can try to take it on, but they'll probably die first thanks to Garchomp's superior speed. Anything that uses Fly or Bounce will probably have an easier time with Garchomp since they'll be beyond its line of sight, as will any Pokemon that can paralyze it or put it to sleep.
Fourth is Eelektross, an electric-type. Fortunately this Pokemon is probably Cynthia's easiest offering, as it's more defensive than offensive. Finish it off with any strong attack move that's not ground-based, as its Levitate ability makes Earthquake, Dig and the like miss. You may want to use this match to beef up in preparation for other, more difficult matches.
Fifth is Braviary, a normal- and flying-type. Hits hard and fast, but is otherwise fairly unremarkable. Smack Braviary down with swift use of an electric- or rock-type move.
Last is Lucario, a fighting- and steel-type. This potent Pokemon is as physically strong as Garchomp, but it lacks the same amount of speed. Consequently it can be wiped out rather easily with a strong fire-type attack. Though it has several powerful attacks, the only one to really fear is ExtremeSpeed, which it will use on any Pokemon that are weakened in its presence. If your Lucario killed is weak, pull it out, use your next turn to heal it, then put it back in when your current Pokemon faints under Lucario's attacks.
First is Spiritomb, so Musharna wont work or Breloom. I would recommend Kyurem because it is in the Giant chasm and has 130 base stats for offense. Tran it really good, and you could beat Cynthia easily.
Your first challenge is an Accelgor. This speedy creature is probably Alder's easiest Pokemon, and only presents a challenge in that it's fast and will get the first attack off. A fire- or flying-type Pokemon will have no trouble beating this thing down in a hurry.
Second is a Bouffalant. Though a bit slow, this big guy hits really, really hard with its Head Charge – which it generally uses over all else – and can knock your Pokemon out easily in one hit. That said, it hurts itself with Head Charge, so if you can deliver a hard fighting-type blow that doesn't quite knock it out, Bouffalant will probably finish the job on itself. You'll lose a Pokemon, but this is a small price to pay to avoid its other attacks.
Third is a Druddigon. This is possibly Alder's strongest Pokemon, as it's got a high attack stat and is only weak to dragon- and ice-type attacks. If you've got a special-based ice-type Pokemon then this is a piece of cake; if you've got a dragon-type it's only tough if Druddigon goes first – if neither ... you're in trouble. Ideally, you'll want to debilitate the Druddigon (sleep is best) then hit it with your best attacks until it goes down. A Double Team and Toxic combination can also work wonders.
Fourth is a Vanilluxe. If you have a fast first-type this thing goes down in an instant. If not you'll face a potentially long battle, for if you're not vulnerable to ice- or steel-type attacks it will sit and use Light Screen and Acid Armor on itself over and over. Not difficult in and of itself, but its penchant for draining your attacks can be a nuisance.
Fifth is an Escavalier. Fire-type users can blow this bug- and steel-type away in an instant. Others will have a tougher time, though ground-, rock-, and even water-type attacks can bring it down with a bit of time. Keep psychic-types out of this fight at all costs.
Last is Alder's star Pokemon, a Volcarona. This big insect is a mixed fire- and bug-type with some hideously powerful attacks, but one big weakness: it's not that fast. If you've got a flying-type that's reasonably speedy, like a plain old Unfezant, you can knock Volcarona out in a single hit. Water is good, too, though many water-types won't be quite fast enough to keep Volcarona from going first, which is a bad idea since it has Hyper Beam.
I would recommend a bulky rock type Pokemon for Alder, as it has a type advantage for half of his team. He isnt very effective against a fast steel type like Cobalion until the Volcarona, though he has coverage on his Bouffalant and his Accelgor. But luckily, Cobalion is pretty decent in speed. I would say you need a fire and fighting type for his first two Pokemon. But he hasnt got a pseudo legendary, but a strong near legendary as showing in Volcarona.

Sorry about the green text. But hope this helps.
Cynthia has a variety of types thus making her hard to defeat but however if you find her weakness then that will give you an advantage knowing what to use on her certain Pokemons. For example, she has a Spiritomb and unfortunately nothing is super effective. Bronzong is another Pokemon she has and just like Spiritomb, no type is super effective against Bronzong, however she has Drifblim and many types are super effective such as ice or electric. So my main point is figure out all the weaknesses(if possible) of all her Pokemon and then you're pretty much set. But for her Pokemon such as Spiritomb you just need to have an attack with a massive amount of damage.

Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 53rd game of the season on Jan. 27, 2010.
You ever see Bride of Frankenstein?
For those that haven't a quick plot recap: Henry Frankenstein regrets that he ever created the eponymous Monster but his mentor is bent upon creating a mate for it. The Monster, meanwhile, longs for companionship and waits anxiously while its creator's grand collaboration with his mentor is brought to life. Upon the "Bride" being brought to life, it, too, rejects the Monster. "Just like all the others," the original laments. In a fit of rage, he begins destroying the laboratory, telling Dr. Frankenstein and his wife to leave, but bidding his new mate and his mate's creator stay. "We belong dead," it tells them.
And then he pulls a lever that makes the castle blow up. Seriously.
(Spoiler alert, by the way.)
Now, apart from the fact that a perfectly well-plotted movie is undone by an entire castle being set up to explode when an easily-accessed lever is pulled, there's a lesson here. Should the Flames lose tonight (likely), that would be the Flames' eighth straight without a win, the longest such streak since an octet of losses that stretched from Dec. 22, 1998 to Jan. 5, 1999. And such a loss will surely spark further trade rumors.
You've heard them already, of course. Kovalchuk, etc. Almost all of them have the Flames as buyers. But a loss to a bad team like Dallas would signal, to me at least, that this team vastly outperformed its abilities, which we all misjudged for one reason or another, for the first two and a half months of the season and that this is a sickening fall back to unforgiving reality. A loss to Dallas would almost certainly give way to a loss to a very good and apparently scrappy Phoenix team.
And do you really want to play the Oilers in a game in which both teams have (probably) lost a combined 21 in a row?
A loss here should be a sign to Darryl Sutter that he should pull the switch, get what he can for who he can, and blow this team up. It belongs dead.
The Calgary Flames (26-20-6 for 58 points. Ninth in the West, third in the Northwest) and the Dallas Stars (22-19-11 for 55 points. Tied for tenth in the West, tied for fifth in the Pacific).
6:30 p.m. Mountain time and 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should walk away like a man.
American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas.
Calgary is 14-8-3 on the road this year, but gave up 14 goals in their last two games away from home. The Stars are 14-5-5 at home, and have won their last three games in Dallas.
What (to hate about the Stars)
Alex Auld — He's going tonight against the Flames, as opposed to Marty Turco. He has only played Calgary once this year, but guess what: it was a 5-2 win.
Loui Eriksson — He's very quietly having a better season than anyone on the Flames (not that that's any big deal any more). He has 21 goals and 27 helpers and is only a minus-1 despite being on a team that has given up 20 more goals than it has scored.
Brad Richards — Man that ridiculous contract doesn't look quite so ridiculous any more does it? He has 58 points in 50 games this year, and 117 in 118 since being traded to Dallas. He's really very good.
Because a loss would make you strangle a little girl and throw her in the river (Frankenstein joke!). Enjoy the game and create an abomination against God in the comments section.

32nm process based on high-k metal gate (HKMG) technology from the IBM-led joint development alliance
CAMBRIDGE, UK – Feb. 16, 2009 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)] today announced that the world's first ARM processor produced on 32nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology will be shown at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. It is the first ever 32nm Cortex™ family processor core, built with ARM Physical IP, on a test chip from the IBM Common Platform in its 32nm High-K metal gate (HKMG) process. This achievement will support ARM® semiconductor Partners in developing the market's most competitive power, performance and area benefits alongside quicker time-to-market for product releases. ARM Partners will have access to the technology in 2009, with full production release in early 2010.
ARM is developing customized Physical IP targeted at achieving optimal power, performance and area for current and future Cortex processors, utilizing the unique attributes of the Common Platform 32/28nm HKMG technology. The 32nm chip demonstrates ARM's commitment to early engagement with advanced processes, paving the way for ARM Partners to rapidly deploy products incorporating ARM technology on 32nm/28nm.
This development follows nine months of collaboration between ARM and the Common Platform. The successful test chip demonstrates that the critical technologies are proven and is an important stepping stone towards implementing the Cortex-A9 and future processors at advanced process nodes.
"This silicon proof is a key step in our roadmap to demonstrate the technical synergy between leading ARM processors, ARM Physical IP and the Common Platform process technology that delivers best-in-class performance, lowest power consumption and rapid time-to-market," said Ian Drew, EVP Marketing, ARM. "It also shows that we are fully committed to affording our Partners the earliest possible opportunity to deploy ARM technology, in particular the Cortex-A9 processor and future processors, on the 32/28nm process."
The chip comprises an ARM Cortex family processor implemented with ARM Physical IP prototype libraries as well as diverse test structures targeted at validating key technologies. ARM will develop and license an IP design platform including logic, memory and interface products, providing the opportunity for ARM and the IBM Common Platform to optimize products, reduce risk and improve time-to-market.
"Our collaboration on advanced 32/28nm process technology with ARM will ensure rapid deployment of this best-in-class technology for our customers," said Dr. Seung-Ho Hwang, Sr. VP of Infrastructure Design at Samsung Electronics. "We are committed to producing next-generation products with advanced, attractive features and longer battery life. ARM technology will help drive Samsung's product development of innovative, energy-efficient, high-performance products now and in the future."
See the test chip at Mobile World Congress 16-19 February 2009
The 32nm Cortex test chip will be available to view on the ARM stand in Hall 1, booth 1C01.

Sometimes I dl images (patterns in .png format) and they are 100x100 tileable images. How do you "transform" this image to a 3600x3600 background? As a matter of fact, how do you transfer any size tile into a full-size background paper?
Thanks for your help! I've wanted to know this for a long time, and now I finally have a place where I can get help!

The Detroit Lions apparently are shopping for bodies in the secondary.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported Tuesday that Lions brass is concerned about safety Louis Delmas' health. With time running out, they're dialing around for options ahead of Thursday's extended trade deadline.
According to La Canfora, the Lions would like to find a reliable veteran presence for their pass defense after Delmas re-injured his left knee during Sunday's 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. It's the same surgically repaired knee that kept Delmas out of the first four games of this season.
Delmas missed five games last season with a partially torn ligament that required surgery in his right knee and has just three starts in 2012. He has made a difference in each of those games, and losing Delmas means the Lions are down their best defensive back.
"He's like our Ray Lewis to the defense," Lions cornerback Chris Houston told the Detroit Free Press earlier this month.
That won't be easy to replace through a trade.

Women, particularly Latinas, are having fewer babies in the U.S.
According to new analysis of government data by the Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends project, the U.S. birth rate dipped in 2011 to the lowest ever recorded. This is led by a plunge in births among immigrant women that started in 2008, with the Great Recession.
Both foreign and U.S.-born Latinas had larger birth rate declines from 2007 to 2010 than other groups. While the report did not address specific reasons for the drop, researchers did reveal some potential clues on why more women are feeling they may not be ready for motherhood quite yet.
Hispanics had larger percentage declines in household wealth than white, black or Asian households from 2005 to 2009. Poverty and unemployment also grew more sharply among the Latino community than for other groups after the Great Recession began in 2008. Many Hispanics stated the economic downturn was harder on them than on other groups.
And while there was a recent drop in unauthorized immigration from Mexico, recognized as "the largest source country for U.S. immigrants," the analysis did not find a decline in the number of foreign-born women of childbearing age (15 to 44). Even so, the birth rate for Mexican immigrant women fell by 23 percent.
The overall birth rate is the annual number of births per 1,000 women. From 2007 to 2010, the overall birth rate declined by 8 percent.
Among mothers of newborns overall in 2010, slightly more than half (54 percent) were white.
"The number of U.S. births, which had been rising since 2002, fell abruptly after 2007 —a decrease also led by immigrant women," states the data.
The new report was created to further study fertility patterns of foreign-born and U.S.-born women.

PHOENIX (AP) — An ex-girlfriend of the man Jodi Arias says she killed in self-defense testified Tuesday that with her, the victim was never physically or verbally abusive.
Deanna Reid said she dated Travis Alexander for several months before she went to Costa Rica in 2000 to serve a Mormon mission. The couple broke up while she was away.
They rekindled their relationship in 2002, but Reid said they broke up again about three years later because Alexander wasn't ready for marriage, while she wanted to settle down. They remained friends until his death, she said.
"Would he ever call you names?" prosecutor Juan Martinez asked Reid.
"No he did not," she replied.
"Did he ever strike you or physically advance on you or inflict any physical violence on you?" Martinez asked.
"No, never," said Reid, who is now caring for Alexander's dog Napoleon
Throughout the nearly 2 ½ months of defense testimony, Arias' lawyers worked to portray her as a victim of physical and emotional abuse by Alexander. Arias claims her lover had grown so abusive, once choking her into unconsciousness, that on the day he died, she feared for her life.
However, no testimony or evidence at trial — other than Arias' own account — has supported the defendant's claims. Martinez sought Tuesday to use Reid in an attempt to show jurors that Arias is lying.
Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi later asked the witness graphic questions about her relationship with Alexander. Reid said the two had been sexually intimate, and that they were aware it violated the doctrines of the Mormon church. Both Reid and the victim were members of the faith which teaches abstinence before marriage.
Alexander had portrayed himself to be a virgin to many friends and family while remaining active in his church and simultaneously carrying on a raunchy sexual relationship with Arias. The defense has worked throughout the trial to portray Alexander as a liar and an abusive womanizer who used Arias to fulfill his fantasies.
The defense rested its case last week but now wants the judge to allow another expert to testify to help blunt the sting of a prosecution witness — clinical psychologist Janeen DeMarte — who told jurors during the ongoing rebuttal phase that Arias suffered from borderline personality disorder. The judge hadn't yet ruled on the matter. A hearing was set for Wednesday morning after which testimony will resume.
DeMarte also testified last week that Arias doesn't suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or amnesia.
A defense expert had testified previously that Arias suffers from the conditions, which explains why she can't recall much from the day she killed Alexander. Another defense expert testified that Arias was a battered woman, yet DeMarte said she found no evidence to support that conclusion.
Martinez has several more rebuttal witnesses ahead of closing arguments.
Arias faces a potential death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack on Alexander in a jealous rage. Arias initially denied involvement then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with nude photos of her and the victim from the day of the killing.
Arias said she recalls Alexander attacking her in a fury after a day of sex. She said she ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him.
Arias' grandparents reported a .25-caliber handgun stolen from their Northern California home about a week before the killing — the same caliber used to shoot Alexander — but Arias said she didn't take it. Authorities believe she brought it with her to kill the victim. There has been no evidence or testimony supporting Arias' claim that Alexander ever owned a gun.
Arias has acknowledged trying to clean the scene of the killing, dumping the gun in the desert and working on an alibi, even attending a memorial service for Alexander.

Just a few days ago I received a call from a friend saying that he had found a good buck across the road from one of my stands. He described him as a heavy antlered deer with a split G2, and looked like he had been dead for a long time; they found him on the back side of a pond. This deer had no doubt died from EHD.
Up until this point I had not found many deer dead and what we had found had been slickheads. This is where the story goes south, As my buddy approached the back door of my house I began to get that sick feeling in my gut! I recognized the buck in his hands. It was Mr. Crabs, the deer my daughter's named, I had several pictures of and had hunted a lot in the early season.
The last encounter I had with this brute was late September, which was also the last pictures I had of him. I never thought twice about it. Older bucks usually become less visual once they shed their velvet. Little did I know every time I hunted this deer he was about 150 yards from me!
Well here he is, not exactly how I had imagined this picture would go but nonetheless he is a true Missouri stud.
I was really wanting to get my hands on him, just hoped he would have been on the business end of a Rage, and the picture would have been with me behind him with the Elite laying beside me and a huge smile on my face! But instead here we are and it's time to buckle down and put it on another Missouri giant. Time is running thin and the pressure is on. Do you know where your next wall-hanger is? Good luck to you all, and until next time, "bend it and send it!"

BOSTON (AP) — Typewriters that belonged to some of the most famous — and infamous — names of the 20th century are on display in a Northeastern University gallery.
Machines once owned by Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway, John Lennon, Jack Kevorkian and "Unabomber" Theodore Kaczynski are among those in the exhibit.
The collection is owned by Steve Soboroff, a California businessman whose daughter is a Northeastern undergraduate.
It includes writings that former owners typed on the machines, including an excerpt from Williams' play "The Glass Menagerie."
Also included is a letter in which Kevorkian lobbies for allowing death row inmates to donate their organs after their executions.
Campus curator Bruce Ployer says the exhibit provides a glimpse into the lives of the typewriters' former owners.
"I think of the work they scripted on these machines, and it's very exciting," he said.
The curator said a typewriter that belonged to Orson Welles, which he used in producing the film "Citizen Kane," also is among those on display.
Lennon, of Beatles' fame, wrote lyrics for his early band the Quarrymen on a typewriter that's in the collection, according to Northeastern officials, who said the machine was auctioned in London in 1999.
The gallery is hosting a reception Thursday that will include a performance by the Boston Typewriter Orchestra. The exhibit will be open until Sept. 25.

Oct. 2: Tilly and the Wall, 'Heavy Mood'
It's been four years since Tilly and the Wall put out an album, but they're back, louder and more chaotic than ever if the single "Love Riot" is any indication. The harmonizing, tap-dancing Omaha group brought in big-named friends to help this time: producer Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes, with contributions from Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Clark Baechle of the Faint and more. -- Sara Stewart In concert: Oct. 7 at Lincoln Hall

A Welcome First Step in Holland
The city of Holland has reportedly granted limited permission to operate a downtown hot dog cart to Nathan Duszynski, the 13-year-old who received national attention for his efforts to open the cart to help his troubled family.
The Holland City Council voted Wednesday to allow Nathan to run his hot dog business until the end of October on the sidewalk adjacent to a downtown sporting goods store.
Reliable Sport had initially given Nathan permission to set up the stand in the store's parking lot. Minutes after Nathan opened for business on July 17, however, a city official informed him he was violating a city ordinance.
After a video by the Mackinac Center's Anne Schieber helped the story go viral,[*] Nathan and his family petitioned the city for an exemption. At an Aug. 1 city council meeting, Holland Mayor Kurt Dykstra defended the ordinance as an appropriate protection from competition for area restaurants that paid special taxes.
Stay Engaged
When these events began, Nathan's family faced significant challenges. Both his stepfather and mother suffer from disabilities, and they were unemployed. In the days since, their problems have mounted. Nathan's stepfather, Doug Johnson, was arrested on an outstanding warrant and found to have a criminal history. Nathan and his mother, Lynette Johnson, temporarily moved into a homeless shelter, though they later left.
The city's decision to provide Nathan with temporary permission to operate his hot dog cart is a welcome development. City officials have recognized through their actions that Holland's zoning policies can have negative consequences for the economically vulnerable — in this case, for a 13-year-old boy who is trying to improve life for his family. And in fairness to the city's leaders, Holland is just one of myriad American cities with similar regulations.
But Nathan is not the only would-be entrepreneur. Holland officials, who are reportedly exploring the creation of a food-cart zone, should review all of the city's zoning ordinances to find ways to reduce barriers to economic opportunity. Restrictive policies often remove the bottom rungs of the economic ladder and make it hard for the economically disadvantaged to rise.
Lessening regulatory burdens to allow entrepreneurship will not necessarily result in happy endings. Nathan and his family still face real difficulties, and these may prevent Nathan from taking advantage of his new opportunity. Nevertheless, reducing exclusionary economic laws will not just provide more chances for happy endings; it will liberate people in their pursuit of happiness in ways that bring credit to a free society.
[*] By the evening of Aug. 16, the video had received more than 100,000 online views.

By Theopolis Waters and K.T. Arasu
CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. pork and beef exports to Russia could come to a halt on Saturday following Moscow's requirement that the meat be tested and certified free of the feed additive ractopamine, a move analysts said smacked of political retaliation.
The move could jeopardize the more than $500 million a year in exports of U.S. beef and pork to Russia, and comes on the heels of U.S. Senate approval of a bill to expand bilateral trade that also sought to punish Russian human rights violators.
The United States asked Russia, the sixth-largest market for U.S. beef and pork, to suspend the requirement even as it warned domestic meat companies that Moscow might reject their pork shipments that contained ractopamine and stop buying pork from processing plants that produced pork with the drug.
Ractopamine is used as a feed additive to make meat leaner, but countries such as China have banned its use despite scientific evidence that it is safe. The United Nations has agreed on acceptable levels of the drug.
The U.S. Meat Export Federation told its members by email that since the U.S. Department of Agriculture had no testing and certification program in place for ractopamine, the Russian requirement could effectively halt U.S. pork and beef exports to the country by Saturday.
USMEF, a non-profit trade association, said more than 210 shipping containers of U.S. pork and beef valued at about $20 million were on their way to Russia.
Canada urged Russia to delay the requirement.
"We have asked Russia for a delay in the implementation of this decision to allow for a thorough and science-based discussion between Canadian and Russian officials," Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said in an email statement to Reuters.
Jacques Pomerleau, executive director of Canada Pork International, earlier said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has provided meat processors with testing guidelines and is responsible for signing certificates to make sure the products meet Russian standards.
U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesman Matt Herrick offered to have further technical discussions with Moscow on the safety of ractopamine.
"We will continue to reach out to Russia to resolve our differences, as well as to encourage Russia to implement the (U.N.) Codex Alimentarius Commission's standards for imported meat products to help provide greater certainty, in keeping with their obligation as a World Trade Organization member," USDA spokesman Matt Herrick said.
"This is an important opportunity for Russia to demonstrate that it takes these commitments seriously," he said.
Russia joined the WTO in August after a 19-year wait.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, in a note posted on its website on Friday afternoon, said: "Exporters are cautioned that Russia may reject U.S. pork shipments and delist producing establishments if ractopamine residues are detected in exported product."
FSIS also said at the moment it was not requiring meat companies for documentation attesting their pork was free of ractopamine before issuing its export certification.
Analysts said the Russian move was linked to the Senate's passage of the trade bill and noted that prices for hogs and cattle in the United States were under pressure.
"This seems to be in retaliation to the Senate's passage of the trade bill with Russia ... there is certainly no doubt about it," Rich Nelson, chief strategist at research and brokerage company Allendale Inc, said.
He said Russia purchased 1.4 percent of U.S. pork production and 0.6 percent of beef production, adding that any suspension of imports from the United States would weigh on cattle and hog futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Tyson Foods Inc, a leading U.S. meat company, and agriculture powerhouse Cargill Inc declined to comment on how a halt in exports would impact them, but both noted the U.S. and Russian governments were in discussions.
"We'd rather not speculate on what a halt in exports would mean to our business, but are hopeful the USDA and Russian government are able to resolve this issue quickly," Tyson spokesman Worth Sparkman said.
Russia's animal and plant health regulator said it would increase laboratory oversight of pork from three packaging plants in North America after ractopamine was found in meat shipped to Russia.
CME February hog futures ended 0.975 cent, or 1.2 percent, lower at 83.475 cents per lb. February live cattle futures fell 0.625 cent, or 0.5 percent, to 130.4 cents per lb.
Tyson shares were down 0.3 percent at $19.63 even as the Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.6 percent.
In its email, obtained by Reuters, USMEF said: "...This new requirement effectively means that the Russian market will be closed to pork and beef exports beginning this Saturday (December 8)."
USMEF spokesman Joe Schuele confirmed the email.
"The deadline is concerning because of an inability to meet this paperwork requirement," Schuele said.
Chief U.S. agricultural trade negotiator Isi Siddiqui will travel to Russia next week to meet with Russian officials to discuss agricultural trade issues, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Friday.
White House international economic affairs adviser Michael Froman could also be part of the delegation that is expected to press the Russian government to postpone the implementation of its ractopamine requirement.
Commerce Department data shows the United States has exported 213.681 million lbs of pork to Russia so far this year. In 2011, exports to Russia totaled 190.931 million lbs.
Russia imported 121.71 million lbs of U.S. beef and veal between January and September. Last year, such imports totaled 145.37 million.
USMEF data showed that U.S. beef exports to Russia in the first nine months of 2012 were valued at $203.7 million, while pork exports totaled about $202.9 million for the same period.
"My first inclination is how much of this is related to geopolitics and how much of this is the Russians trying to negotiate political issues through our pocketbooks," said Mike Zuzolo, president of Global Commodity Analytics.
"Without a doubt, this issue is weighing on both the hogs and cattle markets. All year long the lower-level dollar and the strong export pace have helped underpin our situation whenever domestic demand has weakened," he said.

MANCHESTER, Md. (AP) — More than 100 young campers sang songs, read stories and prayed in an open-air pavilion, as they did each night at the River Valley Ranch camp. Then, the sky began to darken and a light rain began to fall.
A supervisor at the Christian summer camp decided to cut the evening short Tuesday and, to be on the safe side, get the children to shelter 150 yards away. As the kids filed onto a wooded path toward one of the camp's main buildings, a storm that Camp Executive Director Jon Bisset said was "the most violent and localized" weather event he'd ever seen, rapidly formed over the hill.
It began with a black cloud, Bisset said his staff told him. A powerful, relentless wind tore through the area for only 30 seconds. Then came light rain and a rainbow.
By then, whole trees had been downed, eight children on the path were injured and one boy was killed.
In the wake of severe weather that swept through the East Coast, the camp community struggled Wednesday to recover from the "sickening and tragic" event, Bisset said. The path from the pavilion was littered with tree limbs and debris; one large tree beside the road was snapped in half, its trunk splintered. At the top of the path, the cabins were deserted, except for a few brightly colored towels still hanging off the edges of their porches.
Emergency workers took the injured children to four hospitals: Johns Hopkins and Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster, and Hanover Hospital in nearby Pennsylvania. Selena Brewer, a spokeswoman for Carroll Hospital Center, said five campers brought there were either treated and released or transferred to other hospitals. The eight children suffered mainly cuts and broken bones, Bisset said. A Hopkins spokeswoman said staff there treated three children for a variety of problems, including head injuries and bruises; one was admitted.
Authorities did not release the name of the 12-year-old boy, who was killed by a falling tree. He was one of 114 children, ages 7 to 12, who were in the camp's Arrowhead Woods and Fort Roller groups and who were at the pavilion. He had attended the camp previously.
Amy Bettwy, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said the weather service issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the area including Carroll County at 5:06 p.m. Tuesday, effective until 11 p.m.
The weather service then issued two severe thunderstorm warnings that included Carroll County, and Manchester itself. The first warning was issued at 6 p.m. and encompassed the western part of the county, but its edge included Manchester, Bettwy said. The second warning was issued at 6:39 p.m. as the storm moved eastward.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office issued a statement that outlined the storm's arrival and the effort to protect the children, as described in greater detail by Bisset. The sheriff's office said the children were injured just before 7 p.m.
Bisset said Wednesday that he did not know if staffers had checked the forecast, but they regularly monitor the weather. He said the camp will review its procedures for handling severe events.
"It's the summertime — there are thunderstorms that come through all the time and we have protocol for what to do in case of weather," Bisset said.
The staff followed that protocol, by moving the children to a secure location as soon as they saw a storm approaching, he said. But the storm came too quickly and too violently and struck right where the children were. "It was a freak accident," he said.
"In a normal thunderstorm situation, you have time to act," Bisset added. "The children were not far from safety."
Capt. Richard Hart, commander with the criminal investigation division of the sheriff's office, said a preliminary investigation of the boy's death would take about a week.
"So far, our investigation has led us to believe that it's nothing apart from an accident. So far, I don't see any negligence," Hart said. "I think Mother Nature just came down."
The camp has an operating permit from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's environmental health bureau. Dr. Clifford Mitchell, the bureau's director, says camps are required to have a written plan for weather emergencies and natural disasters. But besides checking that a camp has a plan, the bureau does not evaluate or approve it.
Mitchell said his office has begun an inspection of the camp and will look at whether it operated in compliance with state regulations. That will include looking at any emergency plan.
Bisset said that on Tuesday night, he and the staff at the 500-acre camp contacted the parents of every child at its Arrowhead Woods campus, which is for ages 7 to 9, and its Fort Roller campus, which is for ages 9 to 12. By Wednesday afternoon, all those campers had been picked up and those campuses were closed. He said Fort Roller would reopen on Sunday, and Arrowhead Woods the following Sunday. A third campus for teenagers remained open.
"It's so tragic," Bisset said. "We're here to help kids grow and mature and nurture them spiritually, and this goes against what we're trying to do. There just aren't any answers as to why this happened."
About 75 parents and children showed up at the camp Wednesday evening to meet with a grief counselor and ask how they could help the families of the boy who was killed and the children who were injured.
"It's a nightmare, but there are some circumstances that are beyond our control," said Catherine Lemaire of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, whose 10-year-old son is in his fourth year at the camp. "I slept with my two kids last night, one on each side."
Lemaire said that for her son, camp is "like an extended family."
"They kind of understand what happened and what's going on," she said of the children, "but today they wanted to come back."
Associated Press writers Randall Chase in Dover, Delaware, and Jessica Gresko in Washington contributed to this report.

26-year-old Stuttgart man in custody after being caught inside a home Sunday
The Stuttgart Police Department has a suspect in custody in connection with the recent rash of break-ins. A 26-year-old Stuttgart man was caught inside a home in 1100 block of North Grand Sunday.
The department received a call from a Stuttgart resident about lights being on in a home. SPD Ptl. William Basore and SPD Administrative Capt. Dean Mannis arrived on the scene and were told by the neighbor there was someone still in the residence.
Extra units were called in and Capt. Mannis announced himself to the suspect and told the man to come out of the home.
"(The suspect) raised the window facing north and tried to come out," Basore wrote in his incident report. "(The suspect) then shut the window and ran across the house."
Officers who arrived on the scene were notified that the suspect was running through the home, and he was caught "coming out of the south side window."
The black male was placed under arrest, but told officers there was another suspect inside the home. Officers went inside, but did not find a second suspect.
The suspect was transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center were he was booked and processed for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor offense.
SPD Criminal Investigation Division Sgt. Kim Garza questioned the suspect.
The department has turned in four new break-in reports.
The first comes a from woman who told officers on March 15 that someone broke into her apartment in the 500 block of West First and stole a laptop computer, tablet and $60 in cash. The theft took place sometime between 8:45 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.
The suspect came through the bedroom on the south side of the property.
Sometime between 4:43 p.m. on April 3 and 3:40 p.m. on April 4 someone kicked in the back door of a residence in the 500 block of East Fifth Street.
"The suspect had been in his bedroom and moved things around but did not take anything that he could notice at this time," the homeowner told SPD Sgt. Cody Gillioun.
On April 5 sometime between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. someone broke into a home in the 1000 block of N. Maple. The door had been kicked in and part of the door frame was broken. The only things the homeowner noticed stolen at the time include a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver and a sack of loose change.
On April 5, between 10 a.m. and 6:20 p.m., Basore spoke to a man who said someone had stolen a rental trailer that he had parked in the 100 block of East 17th.
Stuttgart Police Department Chief Mike Smith says the recent string of residential break-ins have slowed and the department has suspects.
"A majority of the break-ins have stopped," Smith said Tuesday, April 2, during the Stuttgart City Council meeting. Smith said the department has interviewed possible suspects.
Smith went on to say that Stuttgart residents should call (870) 673-1414 and report any suspicious behavior to the department.
"Anything that looks suspicious," he said, from vehicles to people. "You are not bothering us — we need all the help we can get."
He explained some residents don't call to report suspicious activity because they feel the information is not substantial. Any information in these cases will be helpful and could possibly lead to an eventual arrest.
Six reports had been filed with the department since the Daily Leader updated the break-in case on Tuesday, March 26. Officers filed three other break-in reports during that week. On Wednesday, March 13, SPD officers turned in six reports that included residential burglary or breaking or entering/articles from a vehicle. On Monday, March 11, there were 11 more reports with the same possible charges. Four more were reported on Thursday, March 14.
A total of 35 break-in reports have been filed inside Stuttgart's city limits since Tuesday, March 5.
