Cowboys lineman Josh Brent is in the Dallas County jail after he apparently tested positive for marijuana last week, violating the terms of his $100,000 bond on an intoxication manslaughter charge, Selwyn Crawford of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Brent is charged in connection with a December car crash that killed his best friend and teammate, Jerry Brown Jr. Brent, who was driving the car, had a reported blood alcohol level of .18, more than twice the legal limit of .08.
A hearing was scheduled for July 19 to determine whether Brent's bond should be declared insufficient after a May urinalysis found levels of marijuana in his system. But Dallas County prosecutors filed an amended motion earlier this week to speed up that process after a June 19 test "indicated the presence of marijuana" in his system again.
"The defendant in this case has been repeatedly warned of the conditions of pre-trial release in this case," the state's motion reads. "His continued use of marijuana demonstrates a pattern of conduct in disregard of this court's authority to properly supervise his pre-trial release."
A state district judge agreed with the state, declaring Brent's bond "insufficient for good cause," clearing the way for his arrest.

"We haven't talked about that," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "We had a great week of practice. We responded well.
"There is no special formula. There is a way to do things. We kind of got away from doing those things."
The only question remaining is how high they will be seeded. That question could be partially answered Sunday afternoon at noon when they face Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers, Fla. Both teams are tied at 10-1 in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings. The game is the A-Sun Game of the Week. Florida Gulf Coast won 3-2 in Nashville.
"What we work for and play for is the opportunity to play great matches," said Rosenthal. "Win or lose we still have a lot of games ahead of us.
"Gulf Coast is going to do almost everything they did against us two weeks ago. And we are going to do everything we did against them. It is No. 1 against No. 1. We are going to see which team executes the best."
The Lady Bisons started the second half of the Atlantic Sun round robin with a victory, their 10th of the season.
Saturday afternoon they swept Stetson 25-18, 25-14 and 25-13 in Deland, Fla. No Stetson player finished in double figures in either kills or digs.
"Our players came out and took care of business," said Rosenthal. "We did a great job of really executing our game plan and playing to our level. We talked about that all week.
"We are doing what we need to do and making adjustments from there. Our players executed the game plan well. Our players did a great job on defense. We put a lot of pressure on Stetson with our serve and also defensively at the net. I thought our players did a great job of stopping Stetson's momentum."
Outside hitter Katie Bradley made a match-high 12 kills. She also posted a .360 hitting percentage.
The Lady Bisons as a team finished with a .318 hitting percentage.
Middle blocker Alex Kelly posted her ninth straight double-double with 11 kills and 11 digs.
Libero Jessica Turner made 11 digs for the Lady Bisons.
"I think most teams know we are going to do some great stuff offensively," said Rosenthal. "When we add the other things we become a pretty complete team."
The Lady Bisons are 13-8 overall, 10-1 in the A-Sun. Stetson is 2-17, 0-12 in the conference.

Bow-frame amputation saw, Europe, 1601-1700
Your patient has a rotting wound after being shot in the arm. Will you amputate? Your instruments are this saw and a handful of knives. The saw is big – as long as your arm – and heavy. Sometimes the blade can snag on the bone, and if your patient moves suddenly during the operation, the blade can break. But in the 1600s amputation may have been the patient's only chance of recovery. If the wound had the black tinge of gangrene, death was likely to follow. So what could you do to improve your patient's chances? As a surgeon, your best skill was speed. This depended on your excellent knowledge of anatomy, your expert surgical techniques and the finest instruments. The ornate gold decoration and ebony handle of this saw would have impressed your patients – a kind of status symbol. But the handle was not comfortable to use, and could slow down the speed of the operation. Moreover, the lavish decoration harboured germs, risking further infection. By the late 1800s amputation saws were smaller, stronger and lighter. They were plain in design and made of one or two metal pieces, which could be sterilised easily. Anaesthetics were introduced, and surgeons had longer to perform more complicated operations. But in the 1600s there was not much you could have offered your patient, other than a drop of alcohol perhaps. You'll have to numb the arm by tying a bandage very tightly above the wound, strap your patient to the chair, and then go for it – are you brave enough?

WINNIPEG — Lawyers for the family of an aboriginal man who died during a 34-hour emergency room wait say an inquest judge must rule the death a homicide.
They have also asked the judge to recommend Manitoba call a public inquiry into how aboriginal people are treated in the health-care system.
Vilko Zbogar told Judge Tim Preston that failing to provide medical care to a sick person is akin to failing to provide the necessities of life.
"It was homicide," Zbogar said during final arguments Thursday at the Brian Sinclair inquest. "You just need to find that the death was caused by human contribution."
Police have already investigated the death but did not lay any criminal charges.
It's been almost six years since Sinclair, a double-amputee, died at Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre. He was referred to the emergency room in September 2008 because of a blocked catheter.
He languished in the waiting room for hours, vomiting and slowly dying from a treatable bladder infection, but was never asked if he was waiting for medical care. An internal report following his death found some staff assumed he was drunk and waiting for a ride or was a homeless man seeking shelter.
Murray Tratchenberg, another lawyer representing the family, said those racist assumptions about the dishevelled double-amputee led to his death.
Why Sinclair sat in his wheelchair slowly dying for hours without any medical attention cannot be explained by an overcrowded emergency room, by the physical layout or even by the fact that the 45-year-old was never triaged, he said.
Many nurses, aides and security guards saw Sinclair in the emergency room but assumed he was "sleeping it off" or homeless, Tratchenberg said.
"We're talking about negative stereotyping — stereotyping that led to numerous assumptions being made, all of which significantly contributed to Mr. Sinclair's death," he told the inquest. "It caused medical staff, who had the responsibility to intervene and provide Mr. Sinclair with the care he needed, not to do so."
The inquest didn't delve into why those assumptions were made or what to do to prevent them, the Sinclair lawyers argued. The Sinclair family lawyers withdrew from the inquest halfway through when the judge chose to focus on overcrowding in emergency rooms, but they returned for final recommendations.
The judge should urge the Manitoba government to call a public inquiry into how aboriginal and marginalized people are treated in the health-care system, they said.
The inquest has heard testimony that aboriginal people face discrimination and stereotyping the minute they walk into an ER and are less likely to receive life-saving treatment.
"This inquest did not deal with the issues of systemic discrimination and assumption-making and dismissive attitudes towards the public that came out very clearly in this inquest," Zbogar said outside court. "The judge didn't think he had the capacity to deal with that issue in this process. He said it's not a public inquiry, so that's what we need."
The call for an inquiry was echoed by lawyers with Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto, which has standing at the inquest, but also withdrew halfway through in frustration over the hearing's focus.
"Questions about what role discrimination played in Brian Sinclair's death have not been adequately addressed," Emily Hill, senior staff lawyer for the organization, said in a statement. "A different process is needed to examine how Brian Sinclair's death reflects the most extreme example of something aboriginal people experience on a regular basis."
Attorney General Andrew Swan said Thursday he wouldn't rule out a public inquiry, but he added the government will wait for the judge's report which will be "taken seriously."
Arlene Wilgosh, CEO of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, who was in court for the inquest's final day. She said a public inquiry isn't necessary.
Since Sinclair's death, the health authority has overhauled the emergency department so triage nurses can better monitor the waiting room and those waiting for care are more easily identifiable with wristbands. Cultural training for staff has also been retooled, she said.
"I think the resources that would be used for an inquiry could be better used to support front-line staff in the provision of care."
Bill Olson, lawyer for the health authority, didn't offer specific recommendations to the judge.
Many factors led to Sinclair's death, not least of which was the fact that he was never formally triaged, Olson said. While Sinclair spoke to a triage aide when he first arrived at the hospital, he was never seen by a triage nurse or registered.
"For the most part, major changes have been made," Olson said. "We believe such a tragedy could not recur."
The health authority is open to amending its cultural training to make it more frequent and thorough, he added.
"We look forward to receiving any recommendations you might have," Olson told the judge.
Garth Smorang, lawyer for the Manitoba Nurses Union, suggested Preston does not have the authority to rule Sinclair's death a homicide since a coroner has already called it "natural."
Instead, he recommended the judge address adequate nursing staff in emergency rooms, the availability of diagnostic equipment such as X-ray machines and increased use of electronic health charts.
Sandi Mowat, head of the nurses union, said what happened to Sinclair was a tragedy, not a homicide.
"No nurse would ever have wanted this to happen," she said outside court. "We're very hopeful that we're going to get recommendations to make sure nothing like this happens again."
The inquest concluded Thursday. Preston has six months to deliver his recommendations and said he will have a final report "ready as soon as I can manage it."

Yesterday I realised that the month has passed and we hadn't yet fulfilled the August's Fresh from the Oven Challenge. Ivan was lying in the bed with fever, besides it was his birthday. It was 35ºC outdoors (and nearly 30 indoors) but he was shivering, his nose was running, he was sneezing, coughing and maybe this was the worst birthday he has ever had. He wasn't in a mood neither for party nor for baking. Not even for baking! Normally this cheers him up, but not this time. Meaning he was feeling extremely bad.
I made him drink some Reishi mushroom pills and Samahan, made him milk with ginger and jaggery, put a towel soaked with vinegar on his head and filled the oil lamp with anti-flu essential oils.
Gosh, what a birthday :(
And since there was nothing more that I could have done I got down to baking to distract myself.
August's FFO challenge was hosted by Chele from Chocolate Teapot who chose a recipe for Brioche from the River Cottage Handbook No.3 – Bread.
Brioche is very similar to the Bulgarian Easter bread, named Kozunak, but our kozunak is sweeter than the brioche. So when I saw the recipe I thought it's a little bit flat to my taste. So I called the best kozunak maker ever – my mom – to discuss the recipe with her.
I haven't eaten a better kozunak than the one mom makes. She makes it only for Easter and when she makes it, its in huge amounts because all her friends are waiting on a queue for a loaf. She improves the recipe every year to obtain the ultimate indulging result. And it's quite indulging indeed. But back to this recipe.
After a brief conversation with mom I knew how to make the recipe more pleasing to my palate. I've put less salt, slightly more sugar and of course the indispensable ingredient for mom's kozunak – lemon zest. I know it's brioche not kozunak after all, so it's not as sweet as mom's kozunak but it's just the perfect salty-sweet bread. Here is the original recipe and in the brackets in italics you'll find my changes.
At the end of the day Ivan got a bit better and we indulged ourselves with a good brioche loaf with some green walnuts preserve and goat cheese.
Don't forget to check how other members' brioches turned out at Fresh from the Oven site.
Brioche Recipe:
Makes 2 small loaves (like this on the photo)
Adapted from River Cottage Handbook No.3 – Bread
- 400gr strong white bread flour, plus extra for dusting (since we live on the sea coast and the humidity is very high here I had to add 80 more grams of flour);
- 5gr powdered dried yeast;
- 10gr fine sea salt (I've put 8 gr);
- 90ml warm milk;
- 2 Tbsp caster sugar(I've put 50 gr of sugar and the result was very well balanced loaves);
- 100gr butter, softened;
- 4 medium free range eggs, beaten;
- zest of 2 lemons.
- 1 medium free range egg;
- 2 Tbsp milk;
- sugar for finishing.
To knead by hand: mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, and bring it all together to form a dough. Knead for about 10 mins, until smooth and shiny.
Or, to use a food mixer: fit the dough hook and add all the dough ingredients to the mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until combined, and leave to knead for about 10 mins, until smooth and shiny.
Shape the dough into a round, place in a bowl and cover tightly. Leave in the fridge overnight.
The next day, divide the dough in two and form into the shape of your choice. Lightly flour the loaves, lay them on a wooden board or linen cloth and cover with a plastic bag. Leave them somewhere nice and warm to prove until almost doubled in size; this could take 3 or 4 hours, as the dough is cold.
(I made it in one day and the whole proofing process took me a couple of hours. And I chose to form the loaves in plaits. Also I baked the loaves in a ceramic baking pan.)
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. For the glaze, beat the egg and milk together. Transfer the risen loaves to a baking tray and brush all over with the glaze. Sprinkle with sugar on top. Bake for about 10 mins, then lower the oven setting to 180C/gas mark 4 and bake for a further 20 mins or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Will a decades-old poisoning case be the next US-China flashpoint?
HONG KONG -- Demands for justice in China have just landed on the White House's doorstep.
Over the last several days, Chinese social media have exploded with debate about the unsolved case of Zhu Ling, a pretty, gifted student who was poisoned at Tsinghua University in 1995. Zhu survived, but has been left paralyzed, brain-damaged, and mostly blind.
The primary suspect in the case, Zhu's roommate Sun Wei, was let go after a brief, inconclusive investigation by police. A relative of high-level Communist Party officials, Sun Wei is now believed to be living in the United States under an assumed name.
On Sina Weibo, one of China's most active social media sites, tens of thousands of people urged authorities to re-open the case and bring the culprit to justice. The response: censorship of all searches for Zhu Ling's name, as well as "Sun Wei," and "thallium" -- the poison that was put into Zhu's water.
So on May 3, activists created a petition on the White House website asking the Obama administration to "invest [sic] and deport" Sun Wei.
By Monday afternoon, the petition had received over 100,000 signatures, which means the White House will have to issue a response.
Around the same time, censorship of Zhu Ling's name was lifted on Sina Weibo, suggesting a shift in Chinese officials' response.
The controversy around the case was reignited following another student-poisoning incident in April in which Huang Yang, a doctoral student, was killed when a roommate put poison into his water.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 with more than 300 people on board crashed on landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday after a flight from Seoul and burst into flames, and initial reports said two people were killed and over 70 injured.
Pictures taken immediately after the crash showed passengers streaming off the plane. TV footage from the air later showed the badly damaged fuselage of the Boeing 777 blackened by fire and the plane's tail broken off.
The airline said the plane had carried 291 passengers and 16 crew members.
The crash occurred as the plane was landing at a runway that began at the edge of San Francisco Bay. TV news footage showed crash debris right at the start of the landing strip where it met the water.
One survivor said the plane appeared to be coming in too low over the water, and the pilot seemed to be trying to gain height just before the aircraft struck the runway.
A city Fire Department dispatcher said two people were reported killed and between 73 and 103 had injuries, most of them minor. South Korean Deputy Consul General Hong Sungwook in San Francisco told Reuters at the scene one person had died and between 20 and 30 were injured.
Rachael Kagan, a spokeswoman for San Francisco General Hospital, said 15 injured people were being treated there and 10 were in critical condition with burns, fractures and internal injuries. She said most of them spoke only Korean.
She said a total of 270 people had been given some form of medical treatment at the scene of the crash and 75 had been transported to area hospitals.
Images on television station KTVU in San Francisco showed emergency chutes had been deployed from at least two of the aircraft's exits. Fire had burned through the cabin's roof and appeared to have gutted much of the aircraft's interior.
The plane lost its tail in the crash and parts of it could be seen near the start of the runway.
Survivor Benjamin Levy told local a local NBC station by phone that he believed the plane had been coming in too low.
"I know the airport pretty well, so I realized the guy was a bit too low, too fast, and somehow he was not going to hit the runway on time, so he was too low ... he put some gas and tried to go up again," he said.
"But it was too late, so we hit the runway pretty bad, and then we started going up in the air again, and then landed again, pretty hard," Levy said.
He said he opened an emergency door and ushered people out. "We got pretty much everyone in the back section of the plane out," he said. "When we got out there was some smoke. There was no fire then, the fire came afterward."
Ying Kong, of Albany, New York, who was waiting at the airport for her brother-in-law, Fawen Yan, 47, from Richmond, California, said he telephoned her after surviving the crash to say it had been "really smoky and scary."
"He feels it difficult to breathe, but he's okay," she said. She added: "He said a lot of people had to run. He said some people got hurt."
Air traffic at the airport was halted immediately after the crash, which took place under sunny skies with only a slight breeze, but flights resumed on two runways several hours later.
The Asiana flight departed from Seoul at 5:04 p.m. Korean time and touched down in San Francisco at 11:28 a.m PDT, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flights. The flight lasted 10 hours and 23 minutes, it said.
Deborah Hersman, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the agency was sending a team of investigators to San Francisco and that it is too early to determine the cause of the crash.
"We will be looking at everything," she told reporters. "Everything is on the table. We have to gather the facts before we reach any conclusions."
She was speaking at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, outside Washington.
The FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said her agency was also sending investigators.
Boeing expressed concern for those on board the flight and added that it will provide technical assistance to the NTSB as it investigates the accident.

4 Reasons Why PDFfiller is Better Than RightSignature and DocuSign
The primary challenge of any electronic document is the ability to sign it and not by the filler themselves but other parties whose signature is vital on the document too.

That can really help you out with some basic features: writing on a PDF document, adding some basic graphic elements, and inserting your own digital signature. PDFfiller is the compelling alternative among all its competitors due to advanced features enabled in this complete document management platform. If compared to RightSignature, DocuSign one of the most outstanding functions the service offers is the signature tool. It encompases the following options:
- Adding a signature by uploading it from the device.
- Drawing a signature with the help of drawing tool.
- Capturing the signature on the web or mobile camera.
- Sending the document for the recipient's signature.
As for the latter, PDFfiller allows to send the document to be digitally signed by one or up to 20 recipients. They all can sign the same copy of the document or a document can serve as a template that every recipient then should sign their own copy.
With PDFfiller, you get a comprehensive digital document solution for reasonable pricing and with no need to install any kind of software. Go online from desktop device or use our compatible apps for iOS and Android to have your files in your pocket.

The Agreement area falls within the Mount Isa City Council, Boulia Shire Council and Cloncurry Shire Council local government areas.
|Legal Status:
|Registered with the National Native Title Tribunal
|Legal Reference:
|National Native Title Tribunal File No: QI2003/031
|Subject Matter:
|Compensation | Exploration | Future Act | Land Use | Recognition of Traditional Rights and Interests
|Summary Information:
|In the Kalkadoon and Yulluna Peoples Joint Indigenous Land Use Agreement for Backlog Exploration Permits, the Kalkadoon and Yulluna Peoples have agreed to the grant of Exploration Permits (EPs) by the State of Queensland. The right to negotiate provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) do not apply to these grants. This will enable the backlog of applications for tenements in the agreement area made to the State by grantees to be processed without requiring the longer timeframes of the right to negotiate process that would otherwise apply.
EPs may be granted to an 'Explorer' for an initial period up to 5 years, subject to a set of 'Native Title Conditions' specified in the agreement and provided that the Explorer has paid the compensation amount required under the agreement. On being granted a tenement, the grantees may conduct 'Exploration Activities' in the area. Explorers may renew an EP but it remains subject to the same conditions as in the initial period.

Jack Osbourne and his wife Lisa shared some sad news with fans on Thursday, Sept. 5: the mommy blogger recently suffered a miscarriage. The announcement came just one month after Lisa announced her second pregnancy via her blog, Raddest Mom.
"I have been dreading this announcement," Lisa admitted. "I needed some time before being able to say it. Jack and I lost our baby boy last week. Having a late term miscarriage is by far the hardest thing either of us have ever had to go through. We appreciate all of your prayers and ask for privacy and respect during this time."

U.S. & World
Trying to stay positive, she added, "It's important to stay hopeful and optimistic through life's toughest moments. We never know why things like this happen. All we can do is trust in God and know he has a plan for our lives."
Married since October 2012, the Osbournes are parents to daughter Pearl, 16 months. Earlier this week, it was announced that Jack, 27, will compete during Season 17 of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

The first three items have been granted: Mageia 3 is powering most of the computers at home (I upgraded the Mageia 2 partition on Eimi's desktop PC today), Pardus Anka was released as Pisi GNU/Linux Beta Sueño (which also has a partition on my laptop), and I am typing this entry using OpenMandriva LX beta on my desktop PC, now with sound and the ability to access my other HD partitions.
That means that I'm only missing Mepis and Elive from that original list.
My birthday is pretty close. Then time seems to fast forward and, in a blink, it will be Christmas and 2013 will have ended.
Allow me to daydream and revise my wish list. This time, I'll organize it in software and hardware.
A. Software
- Mepis. This distro always surprises me with its stability.
- Elive. I really want to see this distro in action. It will give me the opportunity to start learning how to use Enlightenment.
- Voice command running on Linux. C'mon! Windows 8.1 Blue is trumpeting this feature as an innovation, when the Linux netbook that I bought in 2009 could do it. So can my wife's ancient Asus Eee PC 901. Granted, Mageia 3 now runs Jovie and Kmouth like a champ, but I miss the voice command. I have tried PerlBox Voice to no avail, so I dream on.
- The elusive Vivaldi tablet. I'm waiting for this one eagerly.
- A new laptop with Linux preinstalled. I am studying my options here. (Interestingly, now I have options. Times change, oh you would not believe how times change, Ballmer!) I have seen that I can get Suse and Ubuntu machines from Dell and HP. However, given that Megatotoro had a wonderful experience with ZaReason, I might go for one of their excellent offerings.
- A Firefox OS phone. I am one of those rare individuals who have refused to own a mobile phone in this era. I don't like them. Nevertheless, the carrier that starts selling a Firefox OS phone here will get me as a costumer. I guess I am one of those rare individuals that does care about the OS of the phone, too, and with Mozilla being attacked by protecting individuals instead of advertising companies, I root for Firefox.
So that's my wish list ;-)
UPDATE: Tuxmachines.org reports that there is progress regarding the Vivaldi tablet. Great!!!

What the <I>Bleep</I> does reviewer know?
Steve Warren's review of What the Bleep ["Freaky film," October 9, 2004] ironically proved one of the premises the film asks us to consider: that we limit our experience of reality by being unable to see what we do not yet know or accept. Warren doesn't know about or agree with what he saw, so he is unable to see any value all.
This film obviously did not speak to him, but rather than present this as his personal experience, he needs to go further with refuting all it contained and telling readers not to consider it either
So let me offer another view. What the Bleep can been seen as a creative film, offering complex ideas for consideration and exploration. I found it clever, filled with incredible images and visuals, humor, and even great music, plus a personal journey many may identify with.
The "talking heads," as Warren says, indeed share their views, and the very fact that we don't know their titles and degrees allows us to again consider the information openly without the weight of "authority."
I believe this film may indeed speak to a lot of people, including those not already simpatico with the ideas shared. Explore a bit at whatthebleep.com and see if, in the end, you may want to consider another perspective.

Learn about the tribes and bands, history, agencies, records and reservations of Utah.
Utah is a Ute word meaning People of the mountains.
If you believe your family has Indian ancestry, first identify a specific time period and locality for your ancestor by using other Utah and United States records. Knowing and studying the history of a tribe is vital in finding available records. Many tribes have been or are found in Utah.
The State of Utah maintains a web site which provides a summary History of the Indian tribes of Utah.
The following list of American Indians who have lived in Utah has been compiled the following:
Some may simply be variant spellings for the same tribe.
Agencies and subagencies were created as administrative offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and its predecessors. Their purpose was (and is) to manage Indian affairs with the tribes, to enforce policies, and to assist in maintaining the peace. The names and location of these agencies may have changed, but their purpose remained basically the same. Many of the records of genealogical value were created by these offices.
The following list of agencies that have operated or now exist in Utah has been compiled from Hill's Office of Indian Affairs...[4], Hill's Guide to Records in the National Archives Relating to American Indians[5], and others.
A brief history of each agency and an explanation of the availability of at least some records for each are listed on the page for the agency.
The majority of records of individuals were those created by the agencies. Some records may be available to tribal members through the tribal headquarters.They were (and are) the local office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and were charged with maintaining records of the activities of those under their responsibility. Among these records are:
Tribal organizations have kept statistics, enrollment, and other records since the 1930s. Tribal organizations in Utah are the Ute Indian Tribe, the White Mesa Utes, Goshiute Indian Tribe, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Navajo Nation, North West Band of Shoshone Tribe, and the Skull Valley Goshiute Tribe. For current tribal addresses, contact:
The Family History Library has some tribal records. You may locate others through the BIA agency or tribe. One tribal record is found in:
Allotted Tribes of Utah
•Uintah and Ouray Reservation, Uncompahgre
Helpful information about reservation families can often be found in church and cemetery records. Search tribal histories or contact the agency, the tribal office, or the reservation for information about specific religious denominations and local cemeteries.
The Family History Library has a few records of this type. For example, the library has a record of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints baptisms in 1875 entitled:
Census, Final Rolls of the Indian Peaks, Shivwits, Kanosh and Koosharem Bands of Paiute Indians. FHL Fiche: 6019270
The 1900 federal census included population schedules for several Indian groups in Utah. Some were associated with reservations and agencies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Most of the information in this census for Indian individuals and families were recorded on Indian Population Schedules. In some cases, information for Indians were filed by the Bureau of Census along with the general population schedules for non-Indian residents. Separate districts exist for the Southern Utah Agency and for the Uintah and Ouray Agency. Schedules for groups not listed as separate districts exist for Shoshone Indians in Portage Precinct, Box Elder County, Utah and for Santa Clara Precinct, Washington County, Utah.
The 1900, 1910, and 1920 U.S. population censuses enumerated American Indians associated with reservations or agencies. These censuses are found in the population schedules of the federal census. The Utah Census page explains these records.
Several sources include genealogies of the American Indians. These genealogies provide information about parents and other ancestors. Individuals and societies have gathered genealogies. One example is:
Indian Conflicts
1853-1854 Walker WarChief Wakara Leader of Ute's against the Utah Pioneers
1853 Gunnison Massacre Captain John Willma Gunnison and seven of his men killed by Pahvants (Ute) Indians.
1853 Fountain Green Massacre Ute Indians of Sanpitch attacked and killed four men: William Reed, James Nelson, William Luke and Thomas Clark.
1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre Arkansas emigrants (120 individuals) and a few Missourians, attacked, most were killed, by pioneers and Indians.See Senate Executive Document 42, 36th Congress, 1st Session
1860 Pyramid Lake War, Utah Territory Washoe Indian War involved Northern Paiutes, Shoshone and Bannock against the United States
1863 Bear River Massacre United States ArmyCol. Patrick Edward Connor leading a detachment of California volunteers, attacked Shoshone Indians
30 July 1963 Treaty of Box Elder between the Northwestern Shoshone and the U.S. Government.
1865-1867 Black Hawk War It is estimated 150 battles, skirmishes, raids and military engagements between Latter-day Saints, settlers and the Ute, Paiute, Apache, and Navajo tribes lead by Chief Antonga Black Hawk
1866Pipe Springs; Dr. James Montgomery Whitmore and his brother-in-law Robert McIntyre Killed by Indians
1866 Circleville Massacre - part of Black Hawk War
1860-1870 Uintah Basin Reservation
1879 Indian agent, N. C. Meeker and others were killed at the White River Agency in western Colorado
March 1923 The Posey War, the Last Indian uprising - during the relocation of Ute and Paiute Indians from Bluff, (San Juan County) Utah to Navajo Mountain. Indians led by Chief Posey and Chief Polk. United States led by Hugh L. Scott and Charles Mabey. Included Ute Mountain Incident, Battle of Cottonwood Gulch, and Surrender at Mexican Hat.
A History of Utah's American Indians. FHL book 970.1 C892h
You may need to begin by learning some history of Utah Indian reservations. Two sources are:
Histories of some tribes are available at the Family History Library or through public libraries. Some state and county histories give a background history on the tribes in their area. Check Utah History for general Utah histories. An example of history about the Ute Indians is:
Utah State Archives. Newspaper clippings about Navajos: clip file, 1868-1938
University of Utah has the Doris Duke Collection
The Office of Indian Affairs (now the Bureau of Indian Affairs) established a network of schools throughout the United States, beginning with Carlisle Indian School, established in 1879. Some of these schools were day schools, usually focusing on Indian children of a single tribe or reservation. Some were boarding schools which served Indian children from a number of tribes and reservations.
In addition, other groups such as various church denominations established schools specifically focusing on American Indian children. (read more...)
The following list of Indian Schools in Utah has been compiled from Hill's Office of Indian Affairs...[6], Hill's Guide to Records in the National Archives Relating to American Indians[7], and others.
Allen Canyon 1887 (San Juan county), Beaver, Corn Creek (Sevier county), Cpromme 1956, Elk Mountain (Emery county), Santa Clara 1854, Skull Valley 1869 (Tooele county), Spanish Fork 1856 (Utah county), Thistle Valley 1872 (Carbon county), Warm Springs 1855, Washakie 1880 (Beaver County), Washington 1854
From the mid-1800's, the official policy of the United States government toward the American Indian was to confine each tribe to a specific parcel of land called a reservation. Agencies were established on or near each reservation. A government representative, usually called an agent (or superintendent) was assigned to each agency. Their duties included maintaining the peace, making payments to the Native Americans based on the stipulations of the treaties with each tribe, and providing a means of communication between the native population and the federal government.
Sometimes, a single agency had jurisdiction over more than one reservation. And sometimes, if the tribal population and land area required it, an agency may have included sub-agencies.
The boundaries of reservations, over time, have changed. Usually, that means the reservations have been reduced in size. Sometimes, especially during the later policy of "termination," the official status of reservations was ended altogether.

American Indian Reservations and Other Indian Trust Lands BIA Western Region Map: Utah, Arizona, and Nevada
The following list of reservations has been compiled from the National Atlas of the United States of America[8], the Omni Gazetteer of the United States of America[9], and other sources. Those reservations named in bold are current federally-recognized reservations, with their associated agency and tribe(s). Others have historically been associated with the state or are not currently recognized by the federal government.
American Indians living in Utah were administered by the Utah Superintendency of the United States Office of Indian Affairs from 1850 to 1870. Copies of records for the Utah Superintendency from 1853 to 1870 are at the National Archives—Denver Branch, and the Family History Library.
Records Created by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) (1870-present)
In 1870, BIA agencies replaced the Utah Superintendency. The largest agency in Utah is as follows:
Other agencies serving Utah's American Indians are the Southern Paiute Field Station in Utah, Western Navajo and Shiprock in Arizona, Fort Hall in Idaho, Elko in Nevada, and Ute Mountain in Colorado. Their addresses are found in:
The local agency and the area office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs usually have records of Indians currently associated with a reservation. Some earlier records have been sent to the National Archives or to the National Archives branch that serves the area. The National Archives—Denver Branch has important collections of BIA records for Utah. The Laguna Niguel, San Bruno, Fort Worth, and Seattle Branches also have some records relating to American Indians in Utah.
The Family History Library has copies of some agency records. Two examples of agency records are:
Major James McLaughlin was assigned to the American Indians in Utah for many years. His correspondence and documents contain many records about the Navajos and the Utes. The papers are found in the following:
Libraries and societies have published sources, manuscripts, or collections of materials relating to American Indians. For example, the Marriott Library at the University of Utah is a repository for the Oral History Program of the Doris Duke Grant. This grant is devoted to collecting American Indian oral histories. See American Indian Oral Histories
The American Indian Genealogy Wiki pages include an overview of major federal records helpful for researching American Indian ancestry.

Beau Parker lined a two-out single to centerfield with the bases loaded in the 12th inning to give GSW a 7-6 victory over Auburn Montgomery on Monday evening at Hurricane Stadium. The 'Canes record improved to 24-16. With six games remaining - all on the road and more if they win in the PBC Tournament - GSW is assured a winning record at season's end for the first time in four years.
The 'Canes took the lead early on Monday, scoring two runs in the first. Trent Dooley belted an RBI double and Paschel Poston delivered an RBI single to give GSW a 2-0 lead.
GSW added a run in the second when Chris Lingham scored from third on Kevin Carroll's fielder's choice groundout.
The lead opened to 4-0 in the fourth when Parker scorched a triple to right-center field, bringing Bud Long around to score.
Auburn Montgomery cut the lead in half in fifth when three walks, a wild pitch and a pair of stolen bases accounted for the Senators' offense throughout the inning.
GSW got a run back in the bottom of the fifth on Byron Haynes' RBI double and added another run in the sixth off an RBI single from Long to extend the advantage back to four runs at 6-2.
AUM started the seventh with a walk and a hit batsman and capitalized on the free passes by following with a two-run single and an RBI double to bring the score to 6-5.
It stayed a one-run game until the ninth when Auburn Montgomery's Todd Cherry belted a one-out double to deep center field to score Charles Lester.
AUM threatened in 11th, putting runners on first and second with one out after back-to-back singles, but GSW hurler Corey Hawes struck out the next to batters to end the inning.
In the 12th, Dooley led off with a walk and was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Haynes. The next batter, Michel Coffey, hit a comebacker to the mound where AUM pitcher Chris Allen caught Dooley between second and third. Dooley escaped the rundown and advanced to third when Allen bobbled a throw from the third baseman and in the process, Coffey advanced to second base. The next batter, Heath Lock, was intentionally walked, setting the stage for Parker's game-winning heroics.
Parker was one of three 'Canes batters to finish with three hits in the contest. Parker went 3-for-6 with a triple, two RBIs and a run scored. Long went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a walk. Dooley finished 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a walk and three runs scored.
Cherry led AUM with a 3-for-6 night that included two doubles and two RBIs. Lester, Matt Arrighi and Justin Williams had two hits apiece for the Senators.
Stephen Daneman (2-0) picked up the win for GSW by tossing a scoreless 12th inning. Hurricane starter Chris Carroll went 6 2/3 innings and allowed four runs on four hits while striking out four and walking six. Hawes threw four innings of relief and allowed one run on four hits while striking out four.
Tanner Gordon (0-3) took the loss for AUM, pitching 2 2/3 innings before making way for Allen. The one run Gordon was credited with was unearned.
A total of 10 pitchers were used in the game - six by AUM, four by GSW.
The Hurricanes hit the road for the remaining five games of the regular season. Next up is a trip to Thomasville on Wednesday to face Thomas University at 5 p.m.
Monday's victory was the 135th coaching victory for Bryan McLain at GSW moving him up to third all-time - passing Barry Davis - on the GSW list. Next up? Bill Haywood with 246 wins.
Zack Stanton's hitting streak was snapped at 20 games. Congratulations, Zack on a great run.
The Hurricanes finish the 2010 season 17-6 at home; their best showing at Hurricane Stadium since 2002 when the 'Canes finished 49-12 overall and 26-6 at home.

Beautiful one day, perfect the next: Queensland population soars
Queensland was the fastest growing of all states and territories in Australia in 1999, according to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today.
The estimated resident population of Queensland was 3,536,300 people on 31 December 1999, 19% of Australia's population. The population of Queensland grew at a rate of 1.6% from 1998 to 1999, the highest rate of growth for all states and territories and considerably higher than the Australian rate of 1.1%.
Queensland also had the highest net interstate migration figure of all the States and Territories with 17,585 people coming into the state.
There were 46,503 births registered in 1999, a decrease of 1% on 1998. The total fertility rate fell to 1.76 children per female in 1999, continuing a long-term decline. This is slightly above the national rate of 1.74.
The average age of mothers was 28.9 years compared to the national median of 29.7. Ex-nuptial births represented 34% of all births registered in Queensland in 1999. This compares to a much lower proportion of 24% recorded back in 1989. For Australia the 1999 proportion was 29%.
There were 22,416 marriages registered in Queensland in 1999, an increase of 5% on 1998 and this was the largest number registered in the last 10 years. The average age for first marriages in Queensland in 1999 was 28.0 years for males and 26.1 years for females.
Marriages performed in civil ceremonies continued to outnumber those performed by
ministers of religion in 1999. Civil ceremonies comprised 55% of total marriage ceremonies in 1999, compared with 42% in 1989.
In 1999, there were 11,467 divorces granted in Queensland, a 1% increase from the
number granted in 1998. The crude divorce rate was 3.3 per 1,000 population in 1999, the highest rate recorded in all States and Territories, and above the Australian figure of 2.8.
Demography, QLD 1999 (cat. no. 3311.3) is available in ABS Bookshops. This release and the main features of the publication may be found on the ABS homepage at www.abs.gov.au.

When Neil Emory and Clayton Jensen opened the doors of Valley Custom they concentrated on keeping things subtle, simple, and most importantly, classy. Yet as things progressed, the legacy of Valley Custom took an ironic turn. Sure, classy was always at the forefront, but most remember Emory and Jensen for perfecting the art of what is the most complicated and drastic custom measure one can take: sectioning. Their sectioning legacy began with a '40 Ford convertible and reached its height with the iconic '50 Oldsmobile Holiday 88, known as the "Polynesian". In 1953 the Polynesian hit the pages of Hot Rod and R&C in a series of stories documenting the section. Long story short, those pages and Valley Custom brought the art of sectioning to the custom world and it has since stayed.
If there's one thing about customizing, it's that no one car is alike. Although many may look similar in appearance or traits, there's always something a bit off; and naturally so, as each customizer has their own preference and ideas—not to mention, there's a thousand different ways to tackle custom concepts and each will give distinctive results. Take sectioning for instance. The general theory in the beginning was to find the flattest point of the panels to be cut. From there, create an equator along that panel and then split the difference in the section from north and south; being 2 inches north of the equator and 2 inches south of the equator will ultimately yield a 4-inch section. In theory, that concept allows one to remove as much curve from both areas of the panel, which makes mating the halves back together as easy as it can be. Yet, as time went on, each person has a different approach and idea; and the varying styles will tweak the body portions depending upon where material is removed. What it all boils down to is, although the car may be sectioned 4 inches, the different styles of 4-inch sections will have their own distinctive look, bringing us full circle where, although cars may be similar, no one custom is exactly the same! (And isn't that how it should be? We think so!)
Here at Star Kustom Shop we have our own ideas and methods as well. Our latest project is a '51 Chevy hardtop-turned-roadster. The owner of the car is after a section that doesn't just downsize the car and keep factory proportions. Instead, he's after something that will downplay the bulkiness of the body while accentuating other features. What we came up with is a section that will do just that.
Star Kustom also wants to keep the eye guessing, "Is that sectioned?", so we're starting with a mild 2-inch slice. However, the theory of finding the flattest panel is out. Instead, we're going to take our 2 inches from the bottom of the car. In doing so, we will focus on removing 2 inches from the bottom of the fender, door, and body just behind the C-pillar. This approach will shrink the body down to a smaller, sleeker size, yet retain all of the beltlines and curves at stock proportions.
As for the rest of the body, Star Kustom will drop it down into the body. If that sounds like a double-negative, let's explain. The quarter-panels will stay the same, but they will be sliced about an inch away from the trunk opening all the way down the front to the C-pillar. Essentially, we're going to separate the quarter-panel from the body, which will allow the body to drop down in place. Making sure the body doesn't fall more than 2 inches, the panel just below the trunk will receive a 2-inch section. The rest of the section will focus around removing 2 inches from the bottom of the doors. The bottom of the skin will be set free and 2 inches will get removed from the internal structure. At that point the excess skin hanging below will be trimmed and welded back to the structure. The front fenders will also get whacked 2 inches, again from the bottom. Lastly, the core support and cowl will get 2 inches removed from the middle. By removing from the middle of the cowl, neither door hinge has to be relocated.
Why are we sectioning the Chevy like this? Several key reasons: by keeping the quarter-panels at the same height, and removing 2 inches from the body, the beltline beginning at the hood will flow flawlessly into the valley between the trunk and fender. In the end, the beltline will begin from nothing at the rear and flow uninterrupted into the nose of the hood. Also, with the trunk down into the fender, it will remove some of the "hump-back" look to the rear end. Yet, the biggest reason is we want to exaggerate the rear look of the fenders and trunk without taking things to comical proportions. By keeping the fender up high, and re-working the trunk valleys, we can achieve a more streamlined boat-tail look (for a visual think something in the vein of a '53-59 Corvette rear end).
Like I said earlier, there's more than one way to skin a cat. This treatment will give us a section that suits our desires. Another bonus is the fact we will stay away from welding body panels right dead in the middle! Enough verbiage for now, let's get to work. Because of the massive amount of work, and wanting to point out key details, this section will be broken down into two installments. In this installment, the body and cowl will be conquered, while the doors, fenders, and core support will follow next month.

Hey all
Here is the first and only (that I know of) order of knights for Garheim
The Knights of Illyria
Sitting on a high plataeu, in the northern wastes of Garheim, lies the great city of Illyr, It's dark blue flags flying high in the cold sunless sky. It was a great city, known for it's high, curved darkstone walls, which encircled it all around, and the Great Library, where scholars from all over Rowia would come to study in it's enormous halls. Although it's walls were strong, they were not invincible to invaders.
One night, the High Lord, and Ruler of Illyr, Soren was in his palace when he heard the alarm.
"Riders coming from the East," one of the palace guards shouted in horror.
"That darn magic hating King doesn't give up so easily does he? Whatever you do, we can not let him find the crystals, or it will be the downfall of Illyr.
Send for the Grand Lord, and the Knights of Illyria, we go to war tonight," the High Lord shouted back as a squire strapped a black breastplate, with a growling dragon on it, to his master's chest
One by one, men, robed in black, with the symbol of a grey dragon on their tunics, drew their swords and rushed out of the palace
towards the city.
"Their heading for the Northern Gate!" one of the guards shouted as he raised his great axe.
"For Illyr, for magic, and for Garheim!" Lord Soren screamed, as he followed his men, charging toward the gate.
The soldiers of Illyr held of the invaders for almost three hours, but then they saw a sight that made them cringe with fear.
"My lord, they have five Mountain Trolls of the south." the Grand Lord shouted over the clatter of fighting soldiers.
"Fall back men, fall back!" Lord Soren commanded as his men started running towards the gate.
"Follow them, and leave no one alive, and bring that magic lover's head!" The King of Rowia ordered as his men rushed after the defenders.
As the enemy troops broke through the gates and into the city, Lord Soren raised his Battle axe and charged a horde of soldiers that were rushing towards him.
One after the other the soldiers fell to the ground at the feet of their enemies. Knowing that the surrender of his great Kingdom and the end of his life were drawing near he called to his adviser and commander, the Grand Lord of the Knights of Illyria.
"Take your men, and what's left of the Mages, and flee into the Grey Tunnels underneath the palace, do not look, but make your way to the Fortress of Lylan, there and only there will the Mages be safe."
"But my Lord..." the Grand Lord started to protest, but Lord Soren stopped him.
"My end has come dear friend. I have served Illyr and the Jarl well. Now make haste!"
The Grand Lord took one last look at his king, and followed his men and the Mages toward the Grey Tunnels.
In the distance he saw Lord Soren give a loud shout.
"Fight men, for the fate of Illyr lies with us. Onward!"
Then he watched as Lord Soren was struck down by his own King. The Grand Lord gave one last scream, then all went dark.

Why wait until Thanksgiving to get your dose of Tryptophan? The fall holidays are generally that time of year where we eat too much, laugh too much… and sleep too much! But why? It's a well known fact that the amino acid Tryptophan in turkey is a natural sleep enhancer, but do you know what plant-based festive food can also help you have a delightful snooze? How about delicious Pumpkin Seeds!
This surprising super seed contains a significant amount of the amino acid Tryptophan, which is converted by the body into serotonin, which converts into melatonin – AKA The Sleep Hormone. Pumpkin Seeds are one of the richest natural sources of Tryptophan, and whether enjoyed deliciously raw, roasted or in a dreamy pie, will greatly contribute to a healthier, deeper sleep!
You don't need to wait for the fall to enjoy these little treasures; eating pumpkin seeds a few hours before bed, along with a carbohydrate like a small piece of fruit, "may be especially beneficial for providing your body the Tryptophan needed for your melatonin and serotonin production to help promote a restful night's sleep3!" Loaded with potassium, heart healthy fiber, iron, B vitamins, magnesium and phosphorus, our Pumpkin Seeds are surely one of the most nutrient-packed seeds out there!
Have you ever felt like your memory is escaping you? Do you have days where you would lose your head if it wasn't attached to your body? Don't worry, we all have our moments. Forgetfulness and memory loss are an aggravating reality to face, but there is a solution – Hemp Seeds!
With the power of zinc and magnesium, you'll be on your way to memory lane. Hemp Seeds are rich in magnesium, and "increasing brain magnesium improves learning abilities, working memory, and short- and-long-term memory4" according to neuroscientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Hemp seeds are also high in zinc, a mineral which has a great effect on memory and learning. In a separate study, zinc was found to play a "crucial role in regulating how neurons communicate with one another5," affecting how memories are formed and how we learn.
It's no secret that Flax Seeds are chock full of fiber, which promotes healthy immune function and normal heart health. But fiber goes beyond that – in fact, it goes skin deep. "Fiber has the potential to grab onto yeast and fungus and move them through your body, preventing them from being excreted through the skin, where they could eventually trigger acne, rashes and other skin problems6." That's not all Flax Seeds can do for you! Along with clear, radiant skin and a healthy immune system, these amazing seeds also offer effective weight management! The insoluble fiber in Flax Seeds "increases the feeling of fullness7," and promotes healthy digestion by speeding up the passage of food and waste.

Well, thought i would throw my hat into the Pod Racer ring. Figured it was a good contest for me seeming that i am good at building engines and cockpits, but not fuselages. The theme I used for my Pod Racer is one I created. It's called . Basically, just mostly white fighters with red highlights, tail fins, and mostly studless construction. Some of you have been following my construction of this for a few days (most anyone that has been in chat), and, well, with the suggestions and help that I received, the final product has come out better then I could have hoped. So, enough talking, here is the MOC:
OH! By the way, these pics are just quick ones I took here at home. The final pics wont be up until next week sometime, but, I was so proud of it, I wanted to share

Aslaug is an unusual young woman. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and language--but not about life. Especially not how she came to have her own life, and who her father might be.
When Aslaug's mother dies unexpectedly, everything changes. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mother's death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaug's birth. About what she should do next.
About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day.

We have no doubt that you, like us, have sixty thousand weddings to attend between the months of April and October. And, like us, you might also know that some combination of ex-boyfriends and people-you-always-secretly-had-a-crush-on will be in attendance. You're probably wishing you could wear some ridiculously sexy, unconscionably-priced cocktail dress to the affair. Blast this recession, will your dreams never come true?
Oh yes they can, dear ones, thanks to a newly-launched site called WearTodayGoneTomorrow.com. Created by former fashion editor Madeline Muney Passarelli, this nifty little site stocks all manner of high-end designer pieces that you can (you guessed it) borrow from the store for a fraction of what it would have cost you to buy the thing. Specifically, about 10 percent of what it would have cost.
You can choose between a weekly or a monthly rental (one dress could impress dozens at multiple weddings! Imagine the possibilities!), and the site has even created a "revolutionary" standardized sizing system across all the various designers to ensure a perfect fit. And the selection is no joke: We browsed for about five minutes and already found piece we'd literally hurt people to get to wear, including this ultra-hot red Valentino number (pictured). I mean, even if the whole we-swear-it's-really-clean party line isn't completely true, we'd still wear previously-worn-and-maybe-still-smelly Valentino. Wouldn't you?

A call for consistency: stop the mixed messages to girls
Girlfriend February Review
Many girls and young women look to girl's magazines for advice on life, relationships, bodies, health and sexuality. But too often they receive conflicting advice and mixed messages and even, sometimes, outright contradiction.
Take for example, information provided in the sealed section of Girlfriend this month, where, within four pages of each other, two medicos give different information about age of consent laws. A 15-year-old, in a relationship with a boy the same age, enquires about age of consent laws because the two want to have sex. Dr Philip Goldstone replies "generally, if you are both under the legal age of consent, it is still illegal for you to have sex." However Dr Sally Cockburn, under the heading 'What if you're both under the age of consent?' writes: "If two people are both under the age of consent, but are the same or similar age, and both decide to engage in sexual activities, it's not a legal issue – as long as there's no coercion, violence or power imbalance involved. Basically, as long as you're both in control and making informed decisions, there are no legal problems." So who is the reader to believe? Isn't this important enough to get right? How does the editing process work at Girlfriend for a contradiction like this not to be noticed? Girls don't need confusing advice about where they stand under the law.
Not a matter of legal confusion, but something that is consistent is that I have to comment on the 'Project You Reality Check' again like I have to on the equivalent in Dolly. The logo is used so inconsistently I have little choice. On the front cover the 'Reality Check' provides the vital information that a tag was removed from fashion girl Kylie's top and that the water in the background was darkened. Seriously, why bother? Then inside, 'Style School' features four girls with the 'Reality Check' telling us "We haven't retouched any of these images – we didn't need to! All the girls look great just the way they are". So if that's the case, does it mean that when girls are airbrushed they didn't look 'fine the way they were'? Do some need to be airbrushed while others don't? Also confusing is that the young women featured are specifically clothed to highlight and play down certain parts of their bodies. For example Alex, 15, is dressed to give "the illusion of longer legs" and a mix of large and small prints "also disguises any unwanted bumps". Eloieese, 14, is lanky, so given curves and a defined waist and "fuller figured" Gemma, 18, is put "in a peplum top, as it draws attention to the slimmest part of her body – her waist". No airbrushing – but they are still dressed to give the illusion of something other than what they are, and to hide unwanted bumps. I'm all for the disclosure…but it needs to be consistently applied and align with what else is in the magazine as a whole. Otherwise it loses all meaning. Read article here.

Killer confesses to Pueblo murder; says he killed two women in Colorado Springs
A call came in to the Pueblo Police Department's dispatch center just after midnight on August 3, 2005.
Dwayne Kelly Rogers was on the phone. The 28-year-old man lived in Falcon, but he was staying in Pueblo while he worked on a construction job.
"I'm the one who killed the girl in Pueblo," he told a dispatcher.
"Which girl?" the dispatcher asked.
"That one who died in the strip club," Rogers said.
Rogers seemed to know how shocking his late-night call would appear, even to a police dispatcher who is accustomed to receiving terrifying and bizarre calls.
"Kind of unusual," he told the dispatcher.
Then he laughed.
Rogers agreed to turn himself in to police. He went to the Pueblo Police station. Detectives arrested him for investigation of first-degree murder and questioned him.
Soon, Pueblo police received another peculiar call.
Apparently, Rogers felt particularly forthcoming that night.
Chuck Burnett explained to police that Rogers, his friend, had been calling everyone close to him and telling them about the terrible crimes he had committed.
Rogers had called Burnett, who lived in Peyton, a few hours before he called Pueblo police.
Rogers revealed even more to Burnett than he did to Pueblo detectives.
He told Burnett that he also had killed two women in Colorado Springs.

Where in the World Challenge
A Geospatial Intelligence Challenge, Anticipating the Future of Human Security
The US Census estimates the world population to exceed 9 billion in the next 30 years. This anticipated rapid growth of population will drive changes in land-use, freshwater depletion rates, increased urbanization, increased competition for food and energy, all in the global context of a changing climate. Additionally, information and communication technologies continue to evolve at exponential rates connecting billions of people around the globe like never before and opening up new ways to live and work in the 21st Century. Understanding the impacts of this dizzying combination of both societal and environmental change of human security is a very complex challenge.
The objective for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Involvement is to stimulate students interest in geospatial career paths with the intent to develop the multi-discipline future workforce and spark new thinking to approaches for GEOINT anticipatory analysis. The Intent for "Where in the World" challenge is to develop anticipatory spatiotemporal analytic skills to create and report "from the future" on the five best and five worst places to live on earth in the year 2025 based on ONE of the following criteria:
- Overall best and worst places for all combined factors
- Overall best and worst places for Water Resources
- Overall best and worst places for Energy Resources
- Overall best and worst places for Food Security
- Overall best and worst places for Health
- Overall best and worst places for Risk for Natural Disaster
- A "place" could be a region, a country, a region within a country, or a large city.
NGA will provide volunteer judges for the competition. Washington College will provide a competition web site for registration and submissions but will not be involved in the judging process.
There will be three winners selected from each educational category; high-school undergraduate, and graduate with runner-ups identified. At a minimum each winning team, and their members, will receive a public recognition of their achievement. Additional categories for recognition are possible.
Team Composition
A team may be comprised from high school, undergraduate or graduate student members. Each team must have a faculty sponsor. A suggested team size would be two to five students. Mixed teams are permissible.
Team Eligibility
The competition is open to all high schools, undergraduate and graduate colleges and universities worldwide.
Teams are free to use any and all date sources they discover as long as they include UN data. While data is always an issue, this challenge is intended to be an analytic, exploratory, and visualization, multi-media geospatial narrative challenge rather than a data collection and cleansing problem.
Each team is free to determine the criteria for least vulnerable and most vulnerable places and may include such human security considerations as stability of civil organization (political, civic, social), communications infrastructure, economics, education, healthcare, transportation, water resources, land use, climate, ethnic divides and religious conflict. The desired end-product should be a list of least and most vulnerable places presented in an interactive visual geo-journalism manner that allows exploration of the variable and weightings and increases our collective understanding of the world. One of the most important parts of this competition is that the teams clearly describe the analytic methods used to make the choices.
Each team must register for the competition by Friday, February 28th, 2014. This will allow for proper planning to determine the number of volunteer judges needed for the competition.
The registration must include the following information:
Student Team Members
- Student names
- High Schools/University/College
- Class standing for each team member (high school, undergraduate or graduate)
- Email address for each team member
Faculty Sponsor
- Faculty Name
- Title
- Department
- High School/University/College
- Email Address
A faculty member may sponsor more than one team.
Online registration is now closed however if you have a team that really wants to compete we may consider granting a deadline extension. Your team would be at a disadvantage though as the other teams are already going full steam ahead.
- A geo-journalism style presentation on the web accessible media of the team's choice. Teams may use YouTube or any other software or methodology they decide to present their results. The submission must include a URL link so the judges can access the presentation via the Internet.
- A written research paper shall be provided. The requirements of this paper are that it clearly describes the process taken to produce the results and shows the analysis. Length and format are up to the team but the final product must be submitted in a pdf file format. At a minimum it should discuss these key steps:
How did your team plan to research the question?
What was your research methodology?
What did your analysis show?
How did you decide to communicate your results
While there are no detailed guidelines, standard research methods and elements are acceptable. However, if your team can get your point across in a unique and novel way this is okay as well.
A place to upload submissions will be provided at a later date.
Awareness of the existence of the challenge by December 20th . The challenge timeline milestones/key events are as follows:
Registration of Teams Deadline: February 28th
Deadline for Team Submissions: May 15th
Winners Announced: July 15th
If you have questions you may contact Stewart Bruce at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will try to get a FAQ Wiki posted to show questions and answers.
