Dispatch advised officers that Sheriffs Department deputies were currently at a disturbance at a local trailer court and that persons involved had left in a vehicle; a deputy requested that the vehicle be stopped for investigation of a restraining order violation. The officer located the vehicle heading west on E. Main St. and pulled it over. The driver was identified with her Utah drivers license, and smelled strongly of alcohol. The officer observed two other adults in the vehicle, as well as a four-year-old child in a car seat in the back seat. The two adult passengers, who had also been drinking, were the parents of the child, and the driver was the childs aunt. The adult passengers were arrested for child abuse and transported to jail. The officer observed an open case of beer and an empty beer bottle on the floorboard under one of the passengers legs. The female driver attempted to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers; the officer had to support her to keep her from falling, and the maneuvers were stopped for her own safety. She was arrested for DUI and child abuse and transported to the jail. Her license was also revoked. Social Services was called and came and took custody of the child.
An officer responded to Walmart for a report of a cold theft. An employee notified loss prevention that a customer threw a computer over the fence in the garden center. A male was observed on security video footage as he selected a desktop computer, passed all points of sale, and entered the gated section of the garden center and threw the computer over the fence. The footage then shows a female exit a silver newer model Monte Carlo, which was parked on the other side of the fence, pick the computer up and put it in the car. The video shows the woman get back into the car, and driver to Row 8 where she parks the car and then goes inside the store. The male and female then walk out of the store together. The video was taken into evidence. The computer stolen was an HP all-in-one desktop computer, black in color, and valued at $498.
An officer was dispatched to a neighborhood in reference to a report of a male that was in the street screaming and yelling. The officer arrived and observed a male screaming and yelling at the top of his lungs. The officer could not understand anything the male was saying, and believed the subject was on some type of narcotic. When the officer attempted to detain him, the man pulled his arm away and began to run, yelling as he ran. The officer pursued him on foot caught up with him about half a block away, taking him to the ground. The subject fought with the officer, and another officer assisted. Tasers had no effect on the subject. A third officer arrived to help and the subject was finally handcuffed. While the man was screaming and yelling, he admitted to using methamphetamines. After a struggle, the man was placed into the back seat of a patrol vehicle and transported to the hospital. He continued to resist commands and had to be carried in to the ER. After being medically cleared, he was transported to the jail, where it took three detention officers to get the man into a cell. He was charged with resisting arrest, protection order violation, and disorderly conduct. He was left in the care and custody of jail staff.
An officer was dispatched to a location to speak with someone regarding harassment. He met with the man and his job supervisor. The man said that he had been performing his regular job around the exterior of the building where he worked, and when he was in the alley the subject, who is also an employee at the same location, pulled up in his vehicle and pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at him. The reporting partys speech was loud and he was visibly upset as he stated that he thought that the man was going to shoot him, and immediately thought about his family and who would take care of them if he was gone. He yelled at the subject, who told him to shut the (expletive) up, the safety is on, and then drove away. The subject was contacted by their supervisor about the incident, and told him it was no big deal, the safety was on. He was informed that the supervisor would have to report the workplace incident. An administrative employee spoke with the officer and told him that the employee would be terminated due to the incident, but they did not have a physical address for the employee and the phone number they had for him was disconnected. He was scheduled to be at work later that day. The officer was unable to locate the subject after going to his residence three different times, and contacted him when he showed up to work. The subject said that he didnt have the handgun on him. After the subject signed termination paperwork and received his paycheck, he was escorted out. He admitted having the gun and pointing it at the other employee because he just wanted to show it to him since he had just purchased it. He claimed that the reporting party was a drama king and was always complaining about something. When told that he had believed the subject was going to shoot him and why would he have thought that, the subject said that he could have thought it due to the way he pointed the gun at him. The subject was arrested and issued a felony hold for menacing and was left in the care and custody of jail staff.
An officer in a marked patrol car heading north on S. Broadway passed a vehicle heading the opposite direction and recognized the female driver from previous contacts. The vehicle pulled into Sonic Drive-In, went through the drive-through, then left northbound on S. Broadway. The officer followed the vehicle while dispatch checked the license status of the driver, and was advised that the drivers license came back as revoked. The officer activated his emergency lights and pulled the vehicle over near CR G and Hwy. 160. The woman told the officer that she knew that her license was revoked but she just wanted to come to town to get some food. The woman was arrested and taken into custody. Since no one in the vehicle had a valid drivers license, the womans niece was called to pick up the vehicle.
An officer on patrol drove past a trailer in a mobile home park, and from the roadway, could see into a small fenced in area that serves as a yard. The officer could see that the area was littered with dog droppings, and there were also two piles of droppings approximately 18 inches in diameter that had been raked into piles. The officer knocked on the door, but the owner was not home, so the officer took photos of the yard for evidence. The officer returned later and spoke with the female owner, and noted that there were two young men cleaning up the droppings. The woman told the officer that she had not had time to clean up her yard. The woman was issued a citation for issues regarding maintenance of animals yard. The officer had previously contacted the subject for the same issue in the past and she had been issued a violation for the situation, and additionally had been contacted another time when the condition of her yard became unwholesome living conditions for a pet.

FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. - The wanted man who deputies say was shot by a Lake County deputy on Thursday after resisting arrest has been identified.
Lake County Sheriff's Office said they were called in by the Lady Lake Police Department for help searching for 24-year-old Jeremy Walker, who had three warrants out for his arrest: one for aggravated battery, one for attempted robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The shooting happened Thursday afternoon near Water Oak Drive, a dirt road, near Register Road in Fruitland Park. Deputies said they received information Walker was in an abandoned house on the street and when they went to arrest him, he resisted and was combative.
"They made contact with Walker in the front yard, they attempted to take him into custody at which point he actively resisted their efforts and was combative with the deputies," said Lt. John Herrell. "He was able to get into a parked car and he fled the scene, trying to run over one of our deputies in the process. At that point our deputy opened fire on Walker to defend himself."
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is heading up the investigation.
Neighbors told Local 6 they were shocked to hear of the shooting.
"We know something was wrong because you don't hear that out here, this is the quietest neighborhood, you never even see the sheriff's ride through here or anything," said Jamie Teate, a neighbor who said she heard the shooting unfold.
"They led the police up here down this little dirt road and tried to hit the police with the car and the police opened fire on them," said neighbor Herman Dawkins.
Deputies said as of Thursday afternoon, the victim was still alive.
Deputies had the entrance to the road blocked off for hours as the investigation continued. No other details were immediately known.
The incident marks the third time in three days that Central Florida law enforcement officers have been involved in shootings.
Orlando police shot a man Tuesday night while investigating drug activity, and two men were shot -- one of whom died -- by Orlando police Wednesday night.

"By Suffering Comes Wisdom"
(Magill's Quotations in Context)
Context: "Nine years have rolled, the tenth is rolling" since Menelaus and Agamemnon sailed for Troy to get Helen back from Paris. Agamemnon, King of Argos, when he departed, left behind his wife Clytemnestra, "the masculine-minded." Now the torch, "the appointed flame that wings a voice from Troy,/ Telling of capture," has just been sighted by the watch, and the Chorus has gathered to sing of the significance of the happenings and of man's relations with the gods. In the Strophe they say:
CHORUSFor Jove doth teach men wisdom, sternly winsTo virtue by the tutoring of their sins;Yea! drops of torturing recollection chillThe sleeper's heart; 'gainst man's rebellious willJove works the wise remorse:Dread Powers, on awful seats enthroned, compelOur hearts with gracious force.

Young: D-backs excited to host ASG
Center fielder says Phoenix is great spot for festivities
The Arizona Diamondbacks organization and the city of Phoenix are very excited to host the All-Star Game in July. I think it is going to be great. Everyone in Phoenix and in the surrounding areas have been making a lot of plans for the event.
In the Major League Baseball community, it is pretty well-known that Phoenix is a good place to visit. A lot of guys live here in the offseason and many guys train here during Spring Training. It is a real destination for travelers. It is family-friendly.
Of course, it is going to be warm. It takes a lot of planning to keep everybody cool. That is a major undertaking, and it is more than just improving things. One thing that really sticks out is a solar-panel structure with shade that they have going around Chase Field. Plus, you will have most of the events, like FanFest, indoors.
Last year, I got to experience the All-Star Game for the first time, and it was an unbelievable experience in Anaheim, Calif. I did my best to take in all the festivities. Both the players and fans love it. We had things like a parade, and there were a lot of opportunities to interact with so many people. It seemed like everyone got to share the experience with me.
It is also go, go, go while you are at an All-Star Game. Some guys -- especially first time All-Stars -- think they can bring their golf clubs and whatnot to Phoenix; it isn't going to happen. When you get to the All-Star Game, there are things like news conferences, meetings and media stuff. It is also about having fun with your family. You are moving around a lot.
If I got to experience it again this year, with us hosting the event, it would be amazing. One of the coolest things would be to play in the game in the city that you are from, or playing in the city that you play in. You have all the hometown fans behind you and supporting you. You can go out there and represent your team, your fans and your city right there at home. They know you very well. Last year in Anaheim, I remember the pregame ovation the Angels players received. It was larger and louder than what the superstar players received.
If it does happen again, I will doff my cap. I will take a bow. I will do it all. You have to acknowledge your fans. They have been with you through the ups and downs. They have your back, and it is great to interact with them.
D-backs center fielder Chris Young is hitting just .224, but he leads his club in home runs with eight and is second in RBIs with 23. In addition, he is Arizona's total-bases and doubles leader. The 2011 All-Star Game takes place on July 12 at Chase Field in Phoenix.

It doesnt have Bella or Jake or the wolves for that matter because this is clearly suppose to be the Cullen family picture. I'm sure they'll have more non-Cullen family pictures. Breathe.ReplyDelete
But they look sooo good. Much more depth to them. The only thing I wish they did was put Alice behind Edward, not Emmett, but its no biggy. Good Job Summit!:)
Alice definitely looks the best! And they really fixed Rosalie up this time around too :) I'm so excited!ReplyDelete

I mut be the only one who thinks that Jasper's hairdo was better in Twilight. Ah well...ReplyDelete
Does Emmet's got a bigger part in NW the movie to be first behind Edward? In my idea, it should have been Alice first behind Ed. But don't get me wrong coz Emmet is such a charismatic characer in Twilight that I'm happy if he's got a bigger part in NW.
Hope to see the Volturi and the wolves calendars.
Now that's a stong family-- Everyone looks so intense, setting a strong presence with their eyes. I really like it.ReplyDelete

Alexander Varshavsky, a biochemist whose groundbreaking work has been lauded for greatly narrowing the gap in deciphering cell behavior, which created new approaches to killing cancer cells and treating other diseases, is this year's winner of the Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research.
The prize — with its $500,000 award, one of the largest in medicine and science in the country -— will be presented to Varshavsky on May 21 at the center.
Varshavsky, a Moscow native who is currently a professor of cell biology at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, is known for his landmark discoveries related to ubiquitin, a protein identified in the 1970s. Varshavsky was one of the first to study its function in depth.
Varshavsky found that ubiquitin mediates most protein degradation in living cells. He discovered that ubiquitin is related to cell cycle regulation and other important processes. Varshavsky's findings "underlie one of most promising and active avenues for development of new drugs for treating cancer, neurodegeneration syndromes, autoimmune disorders and other major diseases," the center said in a statement.
The center said that studies focused on the ubiquitin system and regulated protein degradation now account for 30 to 40 percent of biomedical research around the world.
"To say he is one of the foremost researchers of our times is an understatement," said James Barba, president and CEO of Albany Medical Center and chairman of the National Selection Committee. "Dr. Varshavsky's numerous stunning discoveries in the laboratory over more than three decades have already led to new drugs to treat blood cancer, and hold promise for more treatments for so many devastating diseases. Today, the results of his work are standard in biology classes and a solid foundation in biomedical research."
Varshavsky has racked up numerous awards for his work, including a $3 million prize in December for winning one of six Breakthrough Prizes in Life Sciences and $1 million in 2008 for the Gotham Prize for Cancer Research.
He advanced the idea of targeting a molecular device that can go into a cell, examine its DNA for cancer and then destroy that cell if it falls within certain criteria.
"(It) involves, in a nutshell, the finding of a genuine Achilles' heel of cancer cells, i.e., their potentially vulnerable feature that won't change during tumor progression," Varshavsky said in 2008 after winning the Gotham Prize. Varshavsky could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
The Albany Medical Center award is given to people whose work has led to significant advances in health care and research with demonstrated benefits for patient care.
The 14-year-old Albany Medical Center Prize is financed by a $50 million gift commitment made by the late Morris "Marty" Silverman. The Troy-born philanthropist wanted to focus attention on Albany and Albany Medical Center's contributions to health care, education and research.Read Full Article
Five past winners of the center's award have gone on to win Nobel Prizes.

The Penny Arcade Expo has become a huge success amongst the video game community, letting thousands attend panels, hands-on sessions, and other gaming related events — stuff that truly celebrates not only the stuff they love, but them as well. It's gotten so big that the team behind the show has had to spread it across two events — PAX Prime, which still takes place every August in Seattle, Washington; and PAX East, which is holding court every April in Boston. The latter is coming up rather quickly, with plenty of highlights in store and great games to check out.
With that, you'd probably like a guide in terms of what you should be checking out at the event. Well, you're in luck, because we've got ten highlights that you should consider "must-dos." Sure, some things might be tougher than others (like the ridiculously packed panels), but all of them are guaranteed to be a good time. With that, take heed in our suggestions, and get ready for a party.
Boston Indie Showcase
Every year, PAX becomes a primary spot for independent game developers to show off their wares and create buzz for an upcoming project that could become a darling for a big third-party publisher. This year is no different, bringing six awesome favorites that everyone can try out at the show. These include Bean's Quest, Girls Like Robots, Lawnmower Challenge (it's more fun than it sounds), Not Without You, Spelltower and Super Crate Box. What's more, they're all accessible through iOS and/or Android, so they won't set you back an arm and a leg on cost when they do come out.
Borderlands 2 Hands-On
PAX has always been a big deal when it comes to certain games, like Duke Nukem Forever being hands on back in 2010 and Borderlands 2 being shown for the first time at last year's Prime event. This year's East will bring a playable version of Borderlands 2 for the first time, allowing people to try out new classes and features, as well as the new outdoor environments and co-op opportunities. Other games will be along for the ride as well, including the new X-COM and the upcoming Spec Ops: The Line. And that's just from 2K Games.
Every year, some of the best gamers out there (well, on the "hardcore" level, that is) compete in the Omegathon, a tournament consisting of familiar and surprise titles that truly test how good players are, with prizes on the line and notoriety amongst hardcore fans. This year's should be no different, with plenty of competitors and surprises to keep things interesting. And if that's not your speed, you could always do the next best thing…
Free Play
Not only does Penny Arcade Expo bring the best in tabletop gaming, but it also features a console free-play room, where players not only take each other on through current favorites, but also classic releases, thanks to old-school systems and software that are available for rental. Sure, you might not be thinking of flying all the way out to Boston just to play a round of StarFox on the SNES, but hey, if you find yourself needing something to do, the opportunity is definitely there.
Jordan Mechner Keynote
Every year, the PAX events always bring someone worthwhile to handle the keynote, such as, say, Wil Wheaton. This year will bring Jordan Mechner, the creator of Prince of Persia and Karateka. He'll no doubt have a lot to say when he opens the show, and who knows, he might even drop a few hints regarding the Karateka revival he's working on. (We hear it involves plenty of kicking.)
Live Music
When we went to PAX Prime last year, one of the bigger surprises was having the Megas show up to rock a quick set in a small but packed room. This year's PAX East will bring the Minibosses to the scene, complete with their dedicated video game soundtrack covers. Other bands will also join the fun, including Supercommuter, Metroid Metal, and Protomen. The show starts Friday at 8:30 PM in the main theater, so head on over and rock out.
Panels Aplenty
One of the biggest draws at the yearly PAX events are the panels, which feature everyone you can possibly think of. Game developers, podcast hosts, X-Play staffers, classic gamers…there's something here for every type of gamer. Some even throw in a few surprises, like contests for special prizes, reveals of upcoming projects, and, in the case of Gearbox Software, free food. They fill up quick, so make your plans accordingly. (Especially for Gearbox — we want a free copy of Borderlands 2!)
Make New Friends
What can we say? Anyone who's anyone in the video game community attends PAX East, giving you ample opportunity to spread your name around and make new friends in the process. Between the casual gaming sessions, the planned tournaments, and the special events, you're bound to find a connection or two. Who knows, you might even find your future spouse. Or ex-wife.
Meet Gabe and Tycho, Among Other Folks
Penny Arcade Expo won't have any shortage of gaming folk hanging about, but obviously it's a huge opportunity to meet the creative minds behind the show, as well as the comic strip. Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, their real names, will be out and about, providing opportunities to sign stuff (like limited edition Penny Arcade books and posters) and chat about the history of the show (which is more interesting than you might think). Who knows, you just might meet another gaming legend or two while you're there…such as the GameZone staff.
PAX East will feature no shortage of events happening during the evening, including special movie screenings, Rock Band get-togethers and even a Destructoid-hosted chicken and waffle dinner (hurry, you might be able to get into that still). Probably the biggest one is Digital Noob's Gamers Gone Wild '12, an event that features not only Carlos "Dom" Ferro mixing on the DJ table with DJ Xyanyde, but also a special performance by the Hip Hop Gamer and plenty of giveaways. Oh yeah, and drinks. Can't miss out on drinks, right?

Columbia preparing for first undergraduate registration using Self Service Carolina
The big day is almost here.
Monday, thousands of undergraduate students at the University of South Carolina's Columbia campus will begin registering for fall classes using Self Service Carolina (SSC) for the very first time. Students are being encouraged to visit my.sc.edu and sign in to SSC using their VIP ID and password before their appointment time so that they become familiar with the new system.
The Office of the Registrar, meanwhile, has reiterated what it hopes to achieve with next week's rollout.
"We're excited to have our students finally start registering," said Registrar Aaron Marterer. "Our teams have worked very hard over the past few years trying to make the new registration process both powerful and intuitive. Our focus, all along, has been on making the student experience as positive as possible."
Students are spending the final week before registration meeting with their advisors and signing in to SSC to view their time ticket.
Students at several of the USC system's other campuses have been registering since mid-March.
Students to receive financial aid award amounts, too
Registration isn't the only major OneCarolina development next week. Beginning on Tuesday, Columbia students will be able to check their financial aid award information for the fall in SSC. Students should be on the lookout for an email from USC Financial Aid, which will be sent to students' university email addresses.
"We've been very pleased with the transition from VIP to SSC," said Senior Associate Director of Financial Aid Bob Godfrey. "Thus far, the new systems being implemented as part of the OneCarolina project have allowed us to import around 40,000 student records containing federal financial aid information, which is a considerable amount. We're very happy with how things have gone for us so far."
The next major go-live for OneCarolina will be accounts receivable which, when it rolls out this summer, will allow students to manage their accounts and pay their bills via SSC.

text: London, England musician Alex Clare grew up listening to his father's jazz records, was drawn to blues and soul (Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder), and eventually drum'n'bass and U.K. garage. Though Clare took up the trumpet and drums as a youngster, he eventually placed an emphasis on guitar and songwriting, playing open mike nights with original material. A demo earned him a deal with the Island label in the U.K., and he was set up with producers Diplo and Switch, who contributed to the making of Clare's first album, The Lateness of the Hour, released in July 2011. Despite the producers' reputations for creating busy, bass-heavy club music, the album did place something of a spotlight on Clare's soul-searching songwriting and deep, rich voice. ~ Andy Kellman

2 Dallas men kidnapped in Victoria, beaten; 1 arrest made (VIDEO)
July 26, 2013 at 2:26 a.m.
Two Dallas men were carjacked, beaten and left in a field early Monday morning.
One man was arrested in the incident, but the Victoria County Sheriff's Office investigators are looking for three more suspects in connection with the aggravated kidnapping.
Deputies responded about 3 a.m. Monday to a call about a carjacking near U.S. Highway 59 and state Highway 185.
At the scene, they found two men severely beaten, said Jenni Wright, sheriff's office investigator in charge.
The men, both in their early 30s, were passing through Victoria on their way to Corpus Christi in the pursuit of new jobs when they stopped at a convenience store in the 300 block of North Navarro Street, Wright said.
They were lost and looking for directions. After making small talk with four men in a white car, who also were looking for directions, they left.
Two blocks later, assuming they were once again lost, the men attempted to make a U-turn and found themselves blocked by the white car.
The men were kidnapped at gunpoint, severely beaten and left in a field with their car: Their keys, cellphones and personal belongings were gone, Wright said.
Sheriff T. Michael O'Connor said a crime of this nature is not typical in Victoria and could not remember the last time a similar incident took place.
"You don't see this in Victoria," he said. "We don't know what possessed them to do this."
Video surveillance at the convenience store captured both the white car and the suspects, which led investigators to make an arrest Monday afternoon.
Bobby Ray Carter Jr., 31, of Victoria, was arrested at 1:08 p.m. Monday by deputies on a warrant charging him with resisting arrest, search or transport and aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping and engaging in organized criminal activity, according to the Victoria County Jail media report.
Carter was arrested wearing the same clothing pictured in the surveillance video, Wright said.
Investigators continue their search for the three other suspects.
"No question, we will find them," O'Connor said. "Either they find us first or we find them."

Newport Beach will discuss current rules and regulations regarding the process known as blackball at 6 p.m. on Monday at City Hall. Blackball limits surfboards and other floatation devices at certain stretches of beach along the Newport Beach coastline, mostly during summer months.
The issue is hotly debated among beachgoers who must exit the water, even when the waves are pumping.
Surf photographer Tom Cozad shared an experience he had with blackball in the early '70s that landed him behind bars.
During the summer of 1972, one of the best hurricane swells ever hit the Newport Point, and everyone was out. Lenny Foster, Jackie Dunn, Jack Briggs, Billy Pells, John Van Ornum. … These guys were barrel specialists and charged everything from Pipe to huge Mainland Mexico and they were all on it.
Back then the lifeguards used to throw up blackball at noon like clockwork. And if it was crowded with bodysurfers, sooner. On this particular day, they raised the dreaded blackball flag at 10 a.m. I was one of the groms in the water that day, and along with a few other older surfers, decided to ignore the police and lifeguards, stay in the water and keep surfing.
This did not sit well with the local authorities, and the lifeguards soon brought in the fire boat from the harbor, cranked up the high-pressure hose and fired it at us, hoping to force us out of the water. I have to admit that thing hurt. It wasn't long before I, along with the few others still out, headed in. I paddled up to 19th Street and caught a left that took me around the Point and far down by the Newport Pier, hoping no one would see me coming in.
As I hit the sand, this big guy in wet shorts and a tank top grabbed me by the arm. I had no idea who he was and started swinging my board and swearing at him. Bad move; come to find out he was an off-duty Orange County sheriff's deputy, and he easily overpowered me and dragged me to the police positioned at 19th Street.
By now people were beginning to throw sand at the authorities, and it appeared a full-scale riot would break out. They quickly tossed me and another guy in the back of a police jeep and whisked us away to the Blackie's parking lot. Once in the lot they transferred us to a police car for the ride to the police station. In the car was this older surfer I'd never seen before. He was a complete wacko. He began trying to kick out the windows while yelling obscenities at the officers. This went on all the way to the police station, and I did all I could to let them know that I was in no way associated him.
Once at the police station, the station located where City Hall was on 32nd Street, they put me into a little room that contained only one wooden chair and a small window.
And that's when their fun began.
They tried to scare me, saying I was going to be locked up for a long time for disorderly conduct, unruly behavior, assaulting a police officer, ignoring blackball. They even told me I had broken some law about screaming obscenities in public. And when I began shivering in my dripping wet springsuit and I asked for a towel, they got a good laugh by tossing me a little wash rag.
Contact the writer: After a couple hours they called my dad, and he and a neighbor rode down on their bikes and got me out. No charges were filed, but needless to say when blackball goes up nowadays, I'm usually the first one to the beach.

When wealthy socialite and notorious party girl Vivian Bowers is found dead of an overdose, no one is really surprised. The heiress to the Bowers pharmaceutical empire has been tabloid fodder for years: wild, pretty, privileged… and now dead at the age of 32. But for FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso, "Avatar"), things don't add up with this suspicious dynasty. Convinced the troubled girl's death was a homicide, he has a clever plan to get to the truth. Her name is Detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good, "Think Like a Man"). Twenty years ago she was Vivian's best friend and practically grew up inside the Bowers' home. And when she appears at Vivian's funeral, the family re-embraces her and no one is the wiser. Joanna quickly begins to uncover dark secrets and clues about why Vivian's life was very much in danger. At the same time, she rekindles an old romantic relationship and rediscovers the allure of the luxurious lifestyle she once knew. She's about to see once again just how the other half lives… and dies.
Also starring are Victor Garber ("Alias"), Tate Donovan ("Damages"), Katherine LaNasa ("Alfie") and Ella Rae Peck ("Gossip Girl"). "Deception" comes from executive producer/writer Liz Heldens ("Friday Night Lights") and director Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy," "Dirty Sexy Money"). The series is from Universal Television and BermanBraun.

So kakashi and rin were supposed to be fighting some mist ninja. Right now the current consensus on NB is that either one or both of them are zetsu clones (and trust me, I know not everyone agrees but just chill, thats not what we're here to discuss).
So what about these mist ninja that are attacking. the manga hasnt shown us anyone except kakashi and rin.
Q1:do you think these mist ninja really exist, or are they a part of a lie/genjutsu/more zetsu clones
Q2:Is there a specific mist ninja that you are aware of that could have an ability that could have an impact on what obito saw.
Q3:Im familiar, but not an expert, with the timeline at this point in the series. was madara/obito/zetsu manipulating the mizukage at this time?
let me know what you think, im trying to see if there is an alternate theory here to develope

By Rob Mahoney
The two Los Angeles teams seemed to move at very different speeds in their matchup on Friday, but eventually the Clippers' hot start and the Lakers' slow boil came to a head in a highly competitive fourth quarter. Basketball fans were treated to a one-on-one battle between Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul that was dramatic if not all that strategically sound, and a few more makes wound up making all the difference in the Clippers' 107-102 victory. Paul finished with 30 points, 13 assists and six rebounds as the Pacific Division-leading Clippers snapped a two-game losing streak and held off a furious comeback from the Lakers, who trail their Staples Center co-tenants by 10 games.
• Paul is one of the best in the NBA (the third best, to be precise), but the Clippers' star plays a patient game. No point guard better navigates the score-pass decision tree, and few at any position can match Paul's influence once he decides to take over a game. He simply waits for the right time to strike, and unleashes offense in a flurry of step-back jumpers and frenetic passing.
Yet on Friday against the Lakers, Paul's in-game pacing was thrown off completely by the absence of Jamal Crawford. It was clear from opening tip that Paul would not bide his time with Crawford (who contributes 16.4 points per game for L.A.'s second unit) sidelined, nor would he pass on scoring opportunities for the sake of getting his teammates involved. The Clippers' offense was balanced nonetheless, but Paul was pushing at every turn and bounding around screens with the intent to dribble into a shot.
That strategy worked about as well as could possibly be expected in the first half, as Paul registered 12 points, 11 assists and five rebounds in hyper-aggressive fashion. He stayed on the floor for the first 16 minutes of the game to further the damage already done; the Clippers' starters had quickly established a double-digit lead, but Paul wasn't about to see his team's hard work and highlight plays undone by an underwhelming night from the reserves. So he took a three-minute rest, came back into the game and picked up right where he left off in order to stave off the Lakers and give the Clippers a 10-point lead going into halftime.
In that, Paul's performance was somewhat inverted; taking over the game so early announced Paul prominently as the best player on the court, but what came in the fourth quarter offered a very different view of the world's preeminent point guard. Paul had successfully embarrassed every Lakers guard unfortunate enough to stand opposite him, and had grown increasingly ball-dominant as the game wore on. There's a fine line between looking to score and refusing any alternative, and by game's end Paul was pounding the ball through the Staples Center's well-finished hardwood as he rebuffed any option that didn't have the ball in his hands. No more Blake Griffin in the post (or on the move, where he was wonderful all night while scoring 24 points). No more off-ball movement from Eric Bledsoe and Matt Barnes. No more open lanes for DeAndre Jordan. It was Paul and only Paul who would control his team's fate, and though that's a sound strategy in many cases, on this night the same repetitive offensive sequence wore down the Clippers' efficiency.
Hero ball was the order of the day, and though Paul was ultimately able to seal a victory by scoring the Clippers' final eight points in that mindset, his over-dribbling and the simplicity of his team's offense allowed the Lakers to sneak back into a game that should have been over in the first place. Paul had been good enough in the first three quarters to finish this game early, but instead he and his teammates (and their coach, or lack thereof) made this win needlessly difficult.
Paul said it best in a postgame interview on ESPN's broadcast: "That was ugly down the stretch, and it was all my fault." The latest Lakers loss could be considered Paul's fault as well, but such is the way of this wonderfully convoluted game.
• We last saw Pau Gasol playing at a superstar level while anchoring the Spanish national team in the Summer Olympics, but his performance this season makes those days in London feel like a faded memory. Blame Gasol's plantar fasciitis or the tendinitis in his knee, but no excuse can account for the fact that the Lakers are a simple and deeply flawed team unless he plays at a high level.
Whether his miserable showing necessitates a trade is certainly a matter up for debate, but given the kinds of performances Pau has turned in of late, I'm not sure of a team that would want him. This isn't just a struggling star, after all, but one who has vanished. Gasol is completely absent from the plays he should be playing a central part in, and his defensive focus is as discouraging as his overall production. Maybe he's due to bounce back, but for the moment he's hardly Pau Gasol — merely a $19 million stand-in, better on most other nights than he was on this one (1-of-6 for two points in 27 minutes), if only because the alternative would be next to impossible.
• Of course, the great shame of Gasol's non-impact is that it positions more brilliant performances from Bryant to go wasted in terms of the win-loss column. Friday was just such a night; Bryant's scoring against the Clippers was spectacular in both volume and bravura, his 38 points (on just 25 shots!) matched in intensity only by his display of shooting prowess. But it was all for nothing, in a sense, as a win still eluded the Lakers, who closed a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to two with 1:29 left. Dwight Howard (21 points, 15 rebounds) had a fine game, but was perhaps a bit too focused on establishing himself on the block rather than imbuing a rhythm to his roll game. Metta World Peace was an offensive non-factor in 35 minutes, finishing with the same 1-of-6 shooting line that Gasol did.Steve Nash

I am just an ordinary muggle, wishing to dabble a bit in the wonderful dreamland imagined by the wondrous J.K.Rowling and spread to the rest of muggle world.
Other than that I am and always have been the weird/loony girl at my school, and to my friends have always been the "Luna Lovegood" Character.
I have always believed in stuff my friends find just crazy and find a thrill in new discoveries. I love the animals that my friends find strange and scary, and people always tell me I am slightly naive. I guess I can see why my friends think of me that way. :P
Despite my strange countenance I love people, and the only way to really destroy me is to take people away from me or me away from people.
My favourite characters would have to be :
-The marauders
-Luna Lovegood
-Voldemort (you heard me, I said it)
-Fred and George (gred and forge as they are sometimes known)
-Drace (such an interesting phycological specimen)
My least favourite would be:
-Bellatrix (too clingy)
-Pettigrew (not wormtail, there is a difference)
-Ginny (I just don't like her)
-Rita skeeter (does anyone disagree?)
Some of my preferred ships are: Lupin/Tonks, Harry/Luna, Hermione/Draco, Lily/James and Neville/Ginny... hehehe. You guys probably don't like my shippers...
I often daydream about what the characters' personalities would be like if they were actors and the books were like a movie.
But enough about me, I would like to know what you guys think about my writing, I would love to know what you think of my stlye, and what I could improve on.
Please feel free to contact me, I love talking to other HP fanatics. And even if you don't need an official Beta-Reader, I would love to just read over peoples work. Don't use my "E-mail" use my msn email.

Really surprised how after only one season of use, these tires are virtually useless. While they pass the "toonie" test, breaking and acceleration are both quite tragic. Never again will I buy a continental product.

Halter, a former Clinton administration official who ran for lieutenant governor after a brief run for governor, raised $213,431 during the past three months. He started the quarter with his campaign owing him more than $736,000.
Halter, a Democrat, defeated former Republican Senator Jim Holt of Springdale to win the lieutenant governor's office in November.
Halter has been trying to recoup his debts from the campaign as he's pushing to get a proposal on the 2008 ballot that would establish a state-run lottery that he said would fund $100 million annually in college scholarships.
A spokesman for Halter said a report for Hope for Arkansas, the lottery campaign run by the lieutenant governor, would be mailed to the state Ethics Commission Monday but would not be released until today. Last week, Halter announced a Little Rock developer and his family had pledged $300,000 to the lottery campaign but would not say how much the campaign has run in total.
Monday was the deadline for campaigns to file finance reports from last year's statewide campaigns.

Move over, Snooki and the Kardashians! There may be a new reality TV star in town.
He is Joe Biden, the vice president.
No, seriously! Some people have petitioned the White House to help create a C-SPAN show that would have Biden as its central figure.
The petition that's posted on the White House "We The People" website says the idea is to show us the VP's average day at work. In other words, we would see him interacting with other government officials, meeting foreign dignitaries and talking to average folks.
The whole point would be to educate us about the vice president's duties and responsibilities — and to show us the lighter side of politics.
But would it work?
Based on his track record, Biden may have what it takes for a reality TV stardom.
First, he is a gaffe machine that never stops giving. Just remember him dropping the F-bomb during the health care bill signing ceremony; or asking a wheelchair-bound state senator to stand up in a campaign speech; or mourning an Irish prime minister's very-much-alive mother; or saying that you can't go to 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts in Delaware if you don't have an Indian accent. The list is quite long.
Second, Biden already has some TV comedy work under his belt. He made an appearance on NBC's show "Parks and Recreation" in November. He managed to pull off a fairly funny scene, playing himself while meeting show character Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). He was also a guest on late-night comedy shows multiple times.
Third, Biden is abundant in the ultimate must-have reality TV talent: the drama.
He is known for his dramatic appearances on the campaign trail. He would often nickname himself "Middle Class Joe" while he was pulling them off.
And let's not forget, the man also has the looks. His Hollywood smile wouldn't hurt on any reality-type program.
However, it seems not everyone is in love with Biden's star power. A recent NBC/ORC International poll gave him a 54% approval rating. And 40% of respondents disapproved of the way he handles his job.
There's no word so far from the White House about the petition. But the administration will have to respond if at least 25,000 people sign it on its website. At the time of this writing, there are about 1,700 signatures.

The 1st album in 5 years from Mark Linkous & co. is a stunning return to form. After highly publicized battles with depression and addiction, Linkous is back with another magical batch of heartbreakingly sad and utterly sublime songs blending folk-pop, psychedelia and experimental electronics. Some special guests contribute, including Danger Mouse, Christian Fennesz, Tom Waits, Dave Fridmann, and the Flaming Lips' Stephen Drozd, but as always with Sparklehorse, this is Linkous's show, and it's one of his best to date. 9/22/2006 - Don Yates

text: As we know, Federer has a 95-5 record at year 2006, winning 12 titles and accumulating 15250 pts (a record). And Federer had reached each GS final that year, winning them in 3 out of 4 attempts as well as 4 Masters 1000 titles and the World Tour Finals. 2011 Djokovic won 3 out of 3 GS finals and 1 GS semifinal, finishing with a 70-6 record, and won 41 consecutive matches (Jan-May). He also won 10 tournaments including a record breaking 5 ATP Masters 1000 titles in 1 year. 2010 Nadal on the other hand had won 3 out of 3 GS finals and 1 GS qtrfinal, finishing with a 71-10 record. He also won 3 Master 1000 titles by winning all 3 clay court masters titles. Whose 'dominance' during a single season was most similar to Federer's 2006?
