Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., must hope it follows in the footsteps of Case Western Reserve University. The Wall Street Journal analyzes trends in applications at colleges that recently hosted presidential and vice presidential debate, as Lynn did this week at the (alleged) foreign policy showdown between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. "In the last three presidential races — 2008, 2004 and 2000 — seven colleges that hosted (debates) saw an increase in applications for the freshman class entering the following fall, according to public admissions data from the schools," The Journal reports. "Only two — Arizona State University and University of Massachusetts, Boston — saw a decrease in applicants the year following the debate." (One, Washington University in St. Louis, didn't report application statistics.) It turns out that Case, which hosted the 2004 debate between Vice President Dick Cheney and pre-scandal VP nominee John Edwards, saw the biggest post-debate bump of all colleges in recent years: 31% more students applied for freshman admission after it hosted the debate. "The college applied to host the debate to boost its national reputation, says Lara A. Kalafatis, vice president of university relations at the institution and a main organizer of the event, and it became a talking point at college admissions events across the country," The Journal notes. The media attention is a plus, too. "It certainly helps when you're in a skit on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was Queen Latifah playing Gwen Ifill as the moderator," Ms. Kalafatis tells the newspaper.

Lynn University hopes for same debate bump as Case Western Reserve
We're No. 1: Ohio is doing a bang-up job in the $3.7 trillion municipal-bond market. Bloomberg reports that debt from Ohio and its localities has earned 8.6% this year, most among states, Standard & Poor's data show. Among factors that help: "Ohio's jobless rate is the lowest since 2008 amid a boost in natural-gas exploration and the federal bailout of the automobile industry," the news service says. Also, tax revenue "has exceeded the forecasts of Republican Gov. John Kasich's administration and the state is replenishing its rainy-day fund," according to the story. "Ohio has done a nice job of being conservative with their budget estimates, and, as the economy has recovered, they've been well-positioned," says Jamie Pagliocco, director of bond managers at Fidelity Investments in Merrimack, N.H. (He oversees $31.5 billion of munis, including Ohio debt.) The frozen tundra: Big get for developer Bruce Ratner and Forest City: The New York Islanders hockey team plans to move to Brooklyn, N.Y., and the new Barclays Center. "The Isles' lease in Nassau County is up in 2015, and their struggles to finance a new arena have been legendary," Yahoo Sports reports. "Public referendums have failed. Local elected officials haven't rallied to the cause. Owner Charles Wang claims he's losing $20 million a year in a dilapidated building." Given the way things are going with the ridiculous NHL lockout, a 2015 start might be optimistic. It's good to be cheap: The industrial Midwest is benefiting in a major way from low natural gas prices. "Plunging prices have turned the U.S. into one of the most profitable places in the world to make chemicals and fertilizer, industries that use gas as both a feedstock and an energy source," The Wall Street Journal reports. "And they have slashed costs for makers of energy-intensive products such as aluminum, steel and glass." But natural gas is only part of the story, as "the same hydraulic-fracturing revolution that is freeing gas from shale formations is being used to extract oil," the newspaper notes. U.S. oil production is up 20% since 2008, and the U.S. government expects it to rise another 12.6% in the next five years. "The U.S. is now going to be the low-cost industrialized country for energy," energy economist Philip Verleger tells the newspaper. "This creates a base for stronger economic growth in the United States than the rest of the industrialized world." Thumbs up: Design magazine Wallpaper sings the praises of MOCA Cleveland's cool new building designed by architect Farshid Moussavi. From the review: "Sleek, surprising, and incredibly versatile, the $27.2 million new home of MOCA Cleveland — Moussavi's first museum commission and her first building in the United States — is a slow-motion spectacular, unfolding gradually over four stories and approximately 34,000 sq ft. "The building envelope, a craggy carapace that is independent of the load-bearing floors, has six faceted sides, one of them a tall triangle of transparent glass that echoes the three-cornered building site. The others are clad in panels of black stainless steel for a unique finish that is part funhouse mirror, part mood ring. … "Allowing the building's dark shell to infiltrate what would have been a basic white cube gallery on the top floor is just one of the invasions and innovations in evidence. Floors deliberately alternate between public and non-public museum activities, affording visitors glimpses into the wood workshop or the loading dock."

My favourite London hotspot has to be Portobello road. Not only am I an avid market goer, but I also enjoy the small boutique shops and the wonderful selection of cute cafes on this famous London road. I tend to come up to Notting Hill whenever I can, and I hope to own one of these adorable coloured houses when I'm all grown up!
The shop that I always make sure I visit is Jessie Western. A small shop situated at the top of Portobello road, selling western style jewellery, boots, and clothes. I could spend hours in here searching through the antique native American Indian jewellery. Its a really interesting little shop with all kinds of things hanging from the walls. I especially like the tasselled moccasins and the impressive Indian fur head dresses. I'm a real sucker for silver and turquoise jewellery, so it is rare that I leave this shop without purchasing anything!
Just a little bit further down Portobello road, you can find Kasbah Bazaar. A Moroccan shop which specialises in these beautiful bags. I'm desperate to have one to use as a weekend bag but theres too many to choose from!
There are plenty of cafes and restaurants available on Portobello road, but when you don't have the time or just fancy a quick bite, there is an abundance of street food to choose from. I went for the Seafood Paella, which is fresh and cooked in front of you.
A more touristy hotspot on Portobello road is the vintage shop One Of A Kind. The front door displays pictures of all the different celebrities that have come to visit the store. If you look closely you can spot Yoko Ono, Kings of Leon, Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham Winona Ryder and Kate Moss.
Inside, it is like a labyrinth with adjoining rooms and clothes hanging absolutely everywhere. A lot of the clothes are vintage designer pieces, but you can also find some fun items such as these Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth slippers!
Portobello market, which is mainly based at the bottom of Portobello road is always fun to look around. Even if you're not purchasing anything, theres always really cool vintage pieces, handmade jewellery or beautiful African clothes to gawk at.
Last but not least, I have to mention the Hummingbird Bakery, which sells my absolute favourite cupcakes. I ordered around 50 of those heavenly cakes for 16th birthday party a while back! This place always has a huge que outside, but its my own tradition that whenever I'm up here I must always buy a few to bring home.
I hope you enjoyed my guide to Portobello road, and that it has inspired you to visit this wonderful place. I would suggest to come on a Saturday where you can really feel this great energy and buzzy atmosphere.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), a senior member of the U.S. Intelligence Committee, said he supports U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who faced sharp criticism for her remarks in the immediate aftermath of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Speaking on the Sunday morning talk show circuit, Rice said the attacks, in which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, did not appear to be premeditated, tying it to a similar incident that broke out in Cairo that was sparked by a video that the Muslim world found offensive.
The Obama administration has since acknowledged that it was a terrorist attack.
"I have worked with [Rice] for several years, and have the greatest confidence in her knowledge, experience, integrity and ability," Schiff said in a statement. "I am deeply disturbed by the present attacks on her character."
Schiff said members of the Intelligence Committee on Thursday were provided with what the intelligence community considered its best initial assessments of what took place in Benghazi following the assault on the American consulate.
Acting CIA Director Michael Morell told committee members that Rice would have been given the same assessments before appearing on the talk shows, Schiff said.
After Rice's initial television appearances, Republican Sen. John McCain claimed Rice gave false information about the incident and said he would do everything in his power to block her from being named U.S. secretary of state.
Schiff said he strongly disagrees with those statements.
"Those who have suggested that Ambassador Rice was politicizing the intelligence or misrepresenting what the intelligence community was putting forward as its best assessment are either unfamiliar with the facts or willfully disregarding them," Schiff said. "This is a disservice to a dedicated public servant and I hope these unfounded attacks on Ambassador Rice will come to a rapid end."

The "Coldbrook Tragedy" Continues, Or Spin, Blame, and The Evils of Liquor
Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.
Thanks to John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch for providing the idea for Amanuensis Monday.
Last August I started writing about the Naramore family murders which took place in Coldbrook Springs, MA for my post, COG 97: Researching The Coldbrook Tragedy" (Part 1 of 4). I am still actively researching this case and have posted bits and pieces of my research after my initial Carnival of Genealogy post. Given the notoriety and sensational nature of the case, newspaper articles have not been difficult to find. Most were written immediately after the murders and deal with the murders themselves. I found this article from the Boston Journal different from many of the others. It details the townspeople's reaction to the murders and to the Reverend Charles Talmage's comments on the case. It also quotes Frank L. Naramore, the husband of the murderer, and provides some insight into his personality and his relationship with his wife. The article includes a photo of Frank Naramore, but unfortunately the copy is so poor it isn't worth trying to post the photo. If I am able to get a better copy/scan of the photo I will post it at a later time. Also, the article is quite long, so I am posting it in two parts.
Boston Journal, April 16, 1901, p 6.
VOLCANO of WRATH
[Photo of Frank L. Naramore]
Coldbrook Folk Enraged at Rev. Mr. Talmage--Mr. Naramore Gives the Clergyman the Lie Direct.
Coldbrook, Mass., April 15--In this ordinarily quiet country village a real volcano of wrath has broken forth as a result of the address of Rev. Charles H. Talmage in Williams Hall, Barre, Sunday afternoon and it is hardly surprising, for such an arraignment as that contained in Mr. Talmage's remarks is seldom heard outside of a court room.
The awful tragedy of a few weeks ago, when Mrs. Naramore murdered her six children, and which was the nominal subject of the Barre clergyman's Sunday address, occupies a very small place in the public mind here compared with the crushing blow which the villagers feel was aimed at their little community by Mr. Talmage. Even the terribly harsh things that were said about Frank L. Naramore, the husband and father do not arouse the sympathy and indignation that they would ordinarily.
Men and women here have been talking of nothing else all day, in the streets and in their homes: and the newspaper reports have been eagerly scanned. With the majority there is nothing but the strongest condemnation. A few, however, shake their heads and say that there was some truth at least, in what the Barre clergyman said. There were quite a number of Coldbrook people at the Barre meeting Sunday.
Mr. Talmage's Plain Words.
In his address Mr. Talmage stated that while the Naramore house, where in the children were murdered, was located in Barre, it was about five miles away from the centre of the town, on its rim, in fact, and near the Coldbrook village. "Thus, while the house is on Barre land, it is part of the Coldbrook community," said Mr. Talmage.
His description of Coldbrook follows: "Two railroad stations, Post Office, store, meat market, bucket shop, grist mill, two blacksmith shops and a hall. A small church (with good people whom I know), but with much to do and to dare, and much to discourage also, there are twenty-five houses, and about one hundred people, and there are two hotels. The town of Oakham, of which Coldbrook is a village, voted this year and last, 'No license:' the year previous, 'license.' Regardless of the vote, either way, no town license is taken out, and the common understanding is that liquors are freely sold in bold disregard of the law.
"All this, however, is to the humiliation and sorrow of the law-abiding, temperance people both of Oakham and Coldbrook. The latter, however, in the immoral deadening effects, suffers most. Disturbances, which follow in the train of intemperance, occur. The next week, on the Sunday after the tragedy, the harrowing report went out of a drunken broil in one of the hotels. * * *
"Earnest citizens of Oakham have been interested to do their duty, and have always obeyed in Coldbrook. Their efforts, however, have not been very successful. Some three years ago, a committee of three was appointed to see what could be done. Those men tried to do their duty. However, it was not long before two of the three had their buildings burned. Who did it was never proved. We simply give the facts in the matter.
"The statement concerning intemperance in Coldbrook is unpleasant, but essential, in completing our description of the environment of the Naramore home."
Mr. Talmage also stated that the proprietor of one of the hotels in Coldbrook had recently died from the effects of excessive drink.
Selectmen's Denials.
Mr. Frank S. Conant, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen of Oakham, said to the Journal correspondent today: "I have not heard any complaints about the village of Coldbrook Springs and no particular attention has been called to it as a place where liquor is sold illegally before this address of Mr. Talmage's, that I know about.
"Mr. Talmage, in his address, says a committee of three was appointed about three years ago in Oakham to see what could be done to suppress illegal liquor selling in the town. I have looked the matter up and find it was July 16, 1890 that the committee was appointed. It is true one of these men had his buildings burned soon after, and some months later another member lost some buildings by fire. But there were other fires intervening. I do not believe the property of these men were burned on account of their being on the committee. I do not believe that Coldbrook is any worse than any other country villages about here."
Mr. Henry Parker, a Selectman of Oakham, said: "I fail to see any reason why Mr. Talmage should make this attack on Coldbrook Springs. It has nothing to do with the murder of the Naramore children, and is wholly uncalled for. I am very sorry that the matter could not have been dropped, after the funeral of the children.
I do not believe that you will find any community where there is so little liquor drinking among the young men as here in Coldbrook. The great majority of them do not touch intoxicating liquor. I think you will find more habitual drinkers in Barre among young men than here in Coldbrook. It is as easy to obtain liquor in Barre as it is anywhere.

Three people were shot after reportedly showing off a new revolver on the West Side late Saturday.
According to San Antonio police, the trio had bought a firearm hours earlier, and "had gone around the area threatening people with it," a police spokeswoman said.
Around 10 p.m., one of the men they'd threatened armed himself and went to Cortez Avenue and Jewett Street to wait for them, police said.
As the three men walked through the intersection, the man got out of his vehicle and fired 10 shots, police said, hitting each of the three men.
Police said one victim ran eight blocks away, to the 300 block of South San Eduardo, where he collapsed. He and the two other men sustained injuries not thought to be life-threatening and were taken to University Hospital, police said.
The shooter remains at-large.

Evil Minion Farts
Evil Minion Farts
Evil Minion "farts" are a purple meringue with a sweet grape flavor. Ingredients: Egg whites, sugar, natural grape flavor, cream of tarter, food coloring.
The "Farts" Story:
People stop and double check what they just read when they see these colorfully cookies at markets and events. While the name "farts" gets people's attention, the sweet crunchy cookies gain fans quickly. The name comes from the fact that these cookies are piped. Kirk walked in one day just as an air bubble released and the name "farts" was born. We like to add some whimsy to what we do so we started picking out creatures to assign each of our flavors. They are simple meringue cookies which pack a flavorful punch. Lower sugar than most meringues, these cookies are a hit. Gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and with a fun flavor!

Thanks for the discussion of character archetypes, it's always good to have a common frame of reference. I think the most likely translation problem, if we're going to run into any at all, is that Impervious toughness is just too good. But maybe that won't be an issue.In any case, I suppose the character I'm most likely going to build will fit vaguely into the stalker/scrapper type of role.
Just giving an idea to those who haven't. *tickles Mr. Wyzard*
It's fine, you just seemed to be talking to me, and I didn't want to be giving off an impression that I'm a total noob.
I'm looking forward to the game. In a forum game we can take the necessary time with the heroes personal lives and how they deal with the dangerous days in Paragon City and the nature of what they do. I hope ZK puts the heroes in morally ambiguous situations where they have to struggle to find and follow the best path.

Across 55 days and four countries, you'll see jungles, cities, and all things between, all with a like-minded group of young adventurers eager to see and do everything. And "everything" is definitely an understatement – you'll hike the Lost City in Colombia, take on the Inca Trail in Peru, partake in a homestay in the Amazon Rainforest, see the highlights of Ecuador, and much more. Plus, at this price point, you'll be able to do it all and still have cash to spend at the famous market in Otavalo.
Arrive at any time.
Free day to explore this coastal colonial city. Wander the historic old town, check out the San Felipe fortress, or get dirty with a mud bath and massage at Totumo Volcano.
Travel by public bus to this coastal port town. Free time to visit the Gold Museum with its collection of Lost City artifacts, chill out on the beach and pick up any last minute necessities for the upcoming trek.
Transfer to Machete Pelao, where the trek to the Lost City of Teyuna begins. Trek through farmland, steamy jungle, and rural Kogi communities. Get a glimpse into the local way of life in the remote river valleys of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Continue trekking along the route to Ciudad Perdida. Today is a tough portion of the trek with a lot of steep inclines, make sure to rest and take in the beautiful views. Arrive at the campsite in the afternoon and relax by the river.
Get started early to climb the 1,200 steps up to the Lost City. The view of the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountains makes it well worth the hike. Explore the Lost City and learn what is known of its origins from the indigenous guide, before making the descent back to Wiwa Camp for the night.

Mr. Johns, partner-in-charge in Chicago
for 17 years, was one of those young men
discovered by John R. Wildman, who
set out in the 1920s to bring to H&S the
most promising accounting students in
the country. John Queenan and Weldon
Powell were also among the group, and
all three got their early training under
Mr. Wildman in the Executive Office and
W. M. Coursen in Newark.
Mr. Johns showed an early aptitude for
accounting. As a young staff accountant
he was chairman of a committee of the
American Institute-the natural business
year committee—an appointment as
remarkable then as it would be today.
Since then he has headed many other
committees, societies, and boards,
including the accounting principles
committees of three state societies, and
is now chairman of the American
Institute's ethics committee.
A prolific and innovative writer, he is
responsible for the revision of two
classics in accounting literature:
Accountants' Working Papers and Auditing
(the latter known to accountants as
"Bell and Johns").
Ardent support of his alma mater, the
University of Illinois, has been
accompanied by an interest in accounting
for colleges and universities. He is an

Los Angeles: The Not Quite Old School Burger at Nick's Cafe
Nick's Cafe
1300 North Spring St., Los Angeles CA 90012 (map); 323-222-14500; Website
Cooking Method: Grilled
Short Order: This truly old-school diner wins points with some new-school updates, but is undermined by a weak patty
Want Fries with That? Yes; these homemade fries aren't as crispy as they could be, but very tasty
Prices: Cheddar Burger (w/fries), $7.50
How good will I look when I'm 64? Doubtless not nearly as good as Nick's Cafe, the beautifully maintained, classic diner that was born in 1948. Located on Spring Street just north of the downtown bustle, this classic, blue collar eatery is a vision of mid-century Americana. The exterior could be mistaken for retro when driving by, but a closer look reveals the authenticity of the facade.
Inside you'll find a horseshoe counter and walls decorated with memorabilia of the long life of Nick's. These days you're just as likely to find a gaggle of hipsters bellying up for the famous ham and egg breakfast as you would the current crop of working regulars who call Nick's their home away from home: the LAPD.
After years of driving by and wondering just what the food is like at Nick's, I finally pulled the car over and tried the food. It was lunch of impulse (please forgive the photos—my usual camera was not on hand), which is odd considering classic spots like this one are among my favorites in Los Angeles. Perhaps it was a sixth burger sense that had kept away. As I ordered my cheeseburger I noticed none of the men in blue alongside me (clearly regulars) had chosen the same lunchtime option. They, it seems, had already figured out what I was about to learn.
Nick's burgers tout their sirloin origins. The regular burger is 1/3-pound of ground, hand-packed sirloin topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo on what they call a buttermilk bun. The truth is it's much more akin to a brioche, but more on that later. At lunch time you can add french fries and a soda for a very reasonable $8.95. (You can also turn your burger into a "Monster Burger," which means you get a full pound of ground beef. How does the saying go? "Just because you can"... Well, you get the idea.)
I ordered mine with both and added some cheddar (an extra 50¢). I requested my preferred medium rare temperature, though I knew full well that getting it served medium would be a victory.
The worst thing about this burger is the touted sirloin grind. Mine came out well done, which I know is less of a crime to most of you than it is to me, but when dealing with a grind this fine it really does make a real difference. The patty itself was dry as a bone and mostly flavorless. Despite the well done center there was little to no char or crust on it. It's a fatal flaw that was, if I'm completely honest, a surprise. The hand-packing made me think this would be an old school loosely-packed patty, but no such luck. It was a taut, leathery puck of a patty that ruined what was otherwise a nicely constructed sandwich. The lettuce, tomato and onion all showed a crisp freshness and the cheddar and mayo added some nice extra fat. Even the brioche-like bun had a nice flavor and surprisingly good texture.
The fries weren't a revelation, but they were fresh cut and full of flavor. I actually found myself rather smitten with the homemade profile. They reminded me of the fries my father used to make: full of fresh potato flavor though lacking the crispy exterior that comes with good deep frying technique. No matter about the lack of crispy exterior, you'd do well to order these with whatever you get at Nick's.
And by whatever you get, I mean not the burger. A patty as weak as this one just undermines the whole experience and makes my favorite sandwich feel like a waste of a lunch order. Nick's, you're 64 and I wouldn't hesitate to say that Los Angeles still needs you; I just wish you'd feed me a better burger.

NEW YORK -- The Tony Awards shone a spotlight Sunday night on an accomplished actor with a film pedigree who this season anchored a stage drama about love and death.
No, not Tom Hanks -- yeah, he was nominated too -- but Tracy Letts, who became the rare personality to win Broadway's top writing award (for "August: Osage County" in 2008) and its top acting prize (he took home the Tony for leading actor in a play for his extremely well-regarded turn as George in the fall revival of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf").
Letts will soon make his presence felt in another medium: film.
Tonys 2013: Red carpet arrivals | Show highlights | Winners & Top nominees | Best & Worst moments | Full Coverage
A theater veteran of the Chicago Steppenwolf variety, Letts has penned movies based on earlier pieces such as "Bug" and Killer Joe." Now he's bringing his big Pulitzer Prize winner "August: Osage County" to the screen. And he'll have the help of some pretty big Hollywood names.
The dysfunctional-family dramedy stars Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, playing matriarch and complicated daughter, respectively, of the larger-than-life Weston family. If that star power wasn't enough, George Clooney is among the producers. John Wells directs the movie, which the Weinstein Co. is to release in November.
The trailer that premiered to reporters at the recent Cannes Film Festival had a weepy, inspirational feel that might surprise those who know the hard-edged observational style of Letts' work. But the writer was quick to caution not to judge a movie by its early footage.
"The trailer is designed to get people to see the movie," he told The Times at the Tony Awards on Sunday, adding with a don't-worry note in his voice, "The action of the play is the action of the film."
PHOTOS: Hollywood stars on stage
Letts wrote the screenplay and spent time on the movie's Oklahoma set. It's his name that, to insiders at least, offers a note of reassurance that the picture has retained the jagged edges that made the play so noteworthy. (Some of those other names, particularly Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov, help too.)
As for other Hollywood projects, "Virginia Woolf" -- to many theater-watchers the best show on Broadway in the last year -- may not be getting a new film treatment anytime soon (Mike Nichols, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor took care of the last big one in 1966), but Letts will still be seen in front of the camera: He's just been made a regular on the upcoming third season of Showtime's "Homeland."
Tracy Letts finally makes it to Broadway stage

'August: Osage County' movie gets shiny new name: George Clooney

Back in 1990, the homicide investigators assigned to Truman Jarrell's case knew the facts didn't add up. The case remained open until the recently formed Cold Case Unit took another look last year.
Back in 1990, the homicide investigators assigned to Truman Jarrell's case knew the facts didn't add up.
But they couldn't make an arrest because the only eyewitnesses wouldn't cooperate. The case remained open until the recently formed Cold Case Unit took another look last year.
The investigators found the two living witnesses who were at Jarrell's home on Dec. 3, 1990. A group had been at the residence on South Moody Swamp Road, talking, arm wrestling and drinking whiskey and beer when Jarrell was shot.
"The witnesses were uncooperative, and gave different accounts of what happened," said Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Capt. Loyd Baker.
Twenty-two years ago, they told police that Jarrell had fired the gun himself, either intentionally or accidentally. The Tuscaloosa News, which rarely covers suicides, contains no record of his death, with the exception of a small obituary that ran a week later.
Two of the witnesses, now in their late 50s and early 60s, gave investigators the real story of what happened when contacted within the last few months, Baker said. Both implicated Billy Joe Johnson, an Oakman man who died in 2001.
One witness said that he saw Johnson, who was 48 when he died, holding a shotgun after the two had struggled during a fight. The other witnesses said she had heard someone say Johnson had confessed. Investigators located and interviewed that person, who confirmed Johnson had confessed.
A Tuscaloosa County grand jury heard the evidence in December and agreed that there would be cause to charge Johnson if he were alive. The issued an abatement, which means the case is closed and won't proceed because the suspect has died.
The case is one of several that the three-man Cold Case Unit has cracked since they formed in May 2012.
A grand jury is expected to consider a 1978 murder case and a domestic poisoning case from 1974 in which the suspect is already dead, said Baker. He declined to give further details about those cases.
In October, investigators charged Alton Hyche in the 2008 killing of his wife Penny Hyche. (The suspect is not the same Alton Hyche who has served as Brookwood's mayor since 1977.) Hyche told authorities in 2008 that a gun accidentally discharged on a rural gas well road off Pegues Creek Road in Brookwood as the couple was returning from a fishing trip. Further interviews and ballistics tests led to a grand jury indictment. Hyche has pleaded not guilty in the pending case against him.
Later in October, a grand jury indicted Terry Ray "Tico" Snow in the 1987 shooting death of James Lee Tilley. Tilley was shot five times as he walked on a rural road in western Tuscaloosa County. The unit interviewed former witnesses, new witnesses and reexamined the evidence before presenting the case to a grand jury that indicted Snow, who was already being held in state prison on an attempted murder conviction.
The unit is still working to determine the identity of a woman who was found dead on a Vance road in 1979. Police suspect that the killer is the same man who was convicted of a very similar murder in nearby Jefferson County, but still haven't identified the victim more than 30 years later.

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum but have already picked up some useful info reading through the threads. I have just purchased a secondhand Supernova Plus which came with Patguard Elite v1.0 software. I have read that there is a v1.1 update but I can't seem to find it on the Seaward site, does anyone know where I can download this from ?
Is it worth upgrading to the v2 software and if so how much would this be ? If it's expensive then I will stay with the v1.0 software as it seems to do all that I need (at the moment).
The Supernova has v28d firmware and I am tempted to update to the latest version but alwys have reservations about updating firmware - with computers if you have a glitch halfway through the process it can screw the computer, has anyone had any problems whilst updating the firmware on their machines ?
Many thanks in advance

Bill to cap 'big box' size could create state legacy
A Senate bill that would cap the size of big-box stores at 50,000 square feet in every community in the state offers a compelling solution to the big-box store angst many towns face when a big box store files a permit to build. The bill goes a bit too far, however, in making the restrictions too onerous, and heavy-handed. With a few modifications, however, the existing bill can become a mechanism that gives communities the control that should have always been theirs, and, as a bonus, the initiative creates an exciting national marketing campaign for the state. The bill, as currently drafted, includes these provisions: ·  A 50,000 square foot cap would be placed on individual retail stores in all Vermont communities. · A measure is included that allows communities to change the 50,000 square foot limit to 75,000 square feet in certain designated districts within the town, or to reduce the limit to something smaller. (See story, Page 3A.) · Municipalities could create a panel to require the applicant of any mega-store to provide community impact studies that outline the pros and cons of the project to the community. The bill's strengths are numerous. First, it boosts the economic security of small, independent retailers throughout Vermont. These are the businesses that make up the heart and soul of Vermont communities. They're the ones that donate to the Rotary and Lions clubs, the little league baseball teams, the squirt hockey programs, the school Year Book, Boy and Girl Scouts, 4-H clubs, swim teams, all school sports teams, the senior play, and on and on. They also provide a great number of community leaders, whether they be on town or school boards, in business associations, helping the United Way, and on and on. The same can not be said of most big-box stores, and it's a crucial point for small communities. Second, the bill gives communities the upper hand when discussing how they want to grow. One of the most egregious mistakes of the existing practice is that big-box developers stifle and preclude community debate by doing their research in secret and then filing for the permit as if the project were a done deal. Under the proposed bill, the community discussion would come first and town residents would make crucial decisions knowing what all the cards are before any hand is played. That's a stacked deck in the town's favor, but it should be because huge projects can significantly change the character of a community. Third, the bill encourages planning for growth. It's been talked about for years; still, some towns haven't. Fourth, just imagine the national publicity. The headlines practically leap off the page: "Vermont rejects sameness; bill would protect towns' unique character," or "Vermont champions New England charm, says no to big-box drabness," or "Vermont rolls out 'welcome mat' to independent retailers, bill is only one in nation to level retail playing field while maintaining tight-knit communities." or "Vermont gets it: Charm sells, tourists don't flock to cookie-cutter towns." It's a promotion tailor-made for chambers of commerce with vision. If the state tourist department can't take that pitch and knock it out of the country for a Grand Slam, they're not understandÂing the drab sameness that has sucked the lifeblood out of so many communities throughout the country. Such a campaign is not just good for tourism, but it's also ideally suited to attract work-at-home professionals who can live anywhere in the nation but choose Vermont because of its charm, uniqueness and awareness of what makes small-town life so special. That said, a caveat or two should be added to the bill before it passes out of the House and Senate. First, the state's largest communities, at the very least, need a provision allowing them to seek exemption from the bill's 75,000 square foot limit provided an applicant requests permission to build; the community holds a lengthy discussion on the issue; and a majority, or supermajority, of the public agrees to the proposal.  The problem is apparent when one realizes that the bill, as is currently drafted, would prevent any future mega-stores in Chittenden County. If Costco, or Filenes or Wal-Mart, for example, were to close, no single retailer would be allowed to replace them in the same space.  That's overly restrictive. There has to be a recognition that some of the largest communities in Vermont may be well-suited to larger stores, and that those communities may want them. With a few modifications, however, the bill could easily be fine-tuned and could possibly sail through the Senate and House and earn the governor's signature -- an achievement that's sure to leave a long-lasting legacy.

Sexual Health Testing in Round Rock TX
At Health Testing Centers we make sexual health testing in Round Rock easy and convenient by allowing you to avoid the hassle and embarrassment of visiting your doctor. We provide direct access to the same CLIA approved labs in Round Rock, TX and FDA approved tests that your doctor would utilize. Also the results are delivered directly to you and are not a part of your permanent medical record.
STD Statistics in Round Rock
Everyone in Round Rock, Texas should take care not become engaged with a partner without the use of protection. This recent data for Round Rock, Texas demonstrates trends occurring throughout Texas for two dangerous sexually transmitted diseases, chlamydia and gonorrhea. This is concerning trend for Round Rock, because chlamydia is a silent infection that may be present in both men and women and lead to major health problems including infertility in women. Symptoms do not appear for several weeks after a person is exposed. The data indicates that syphilis has only affected a small percentage of the Round Rock population. This is fortunate as the syphilis is incurable and can be deadly. Using the Center for Disease Control's 2016 STD Surveillance Report for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis and extrapolated using the latest 2011 US Census, it is estimated that 6.8 incidents of syphilis, 499.8 cases of chlamydia and 148.5 cases of gonorrhea, would be attributed to Round Rock in 2016.
Herpes is also far too common in Round Rock, Texas. Herpes, present in two forms HSV-1 and HSV-2, is a virus that affects the genitals mainly but can affect the mouth and lips in the form of fever blisters. Consider being tested between sexual partners. Monogamy or celibacy is the best ways to avoid contracting one of these diseases.
STD Treatment and Counseling in Round Rock
When ordering an STD package or individual test from Health Testing Centers that tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or HSV type 2, a physician consultation and treatment are included when there is a positive result. If you test positive for any of the 4 mentioned STD's, a telephone or video consultation will be provided at no additional cost by one of our third party physicians. The physician from PWN Health will contact you within 4 to 24 hours of receiving your test result. At the end of the consultation the physician may prescribe the necessary medication for treatment. It is up to the sole discretion of the physician to provide any medical treatment based on test results and any medical information they received during the consultation. Cost of the prescription is not included.

Our testing locations offer private, top-quality STD testing just like you would receive from your doctor's office without the added expense and inconvenience of an office visit just to have that doctor place the order for those tests.
Why is testing important?
Because STDs are more common than you may realize, with nearly 20 million new STD cases occurring every year, according to nationwide CDC estimates. Their affects can be quite serious. For instance, HIV infection can progress to AIDS, and gonorrhea, Chlamydia and syphilis can lead to infertility without treatment. These examples show just how important it is that these and other STDs do not go undetected for lack of a simple health test, easily done via STD testing centers near Round Rock, TX.
When should you seek STD testing?
Clearly, if you know or suspect that a partner is affected by a sexually transmitted disease, looking into STD testing centers near Round Rock, Texas is important to protecting your health, as is seeking immediate treatment should you receive positive results. However, STD testing is also essential for all sexually active individuals. That's because STDs don't always come with obvious symptoms. Some may produce no symptoms at all, while others may present mild ones that are easily mistaken for a cold or flu. For this reason, ensuring your sexual and overall health means getting regular screening tests for common STDs. Just how often you should schedule test days depends on your individual circumstances. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate testing routine for your needs.

Instead of the traditional story, Alice is kidnapped unwillingly by a mysterious (yet somewhat bishie-looking) man with bunny ears into a place called Heartland. Stuck in Heartland due to a trick by the mysterious bunny eared man, she meets the residents of this world. Along the way, Alice meets Blood, an owner of a hat shop who is also a handsome mafia leader; Ace, the psycho yet charming knightand... Almost all the people are dangerous. But she somehow starts to enjoy her life there. How is she going to come back?
The cast is going to be the same as the original games except that Alice is voiced:

Well it's subbed so I can finally watch it!
Wow this is really random, even having read the manga it seems they just keep skipping around. Character introductions were horribly rushed. But Ill say the seiyuu cast is perfect which is why I wanted to see this so bad in the first place.
Edit: a bit further into it, it's calmed down a bit, storyline is easier to follow still kinda random though. Gah Koyasu is just perfect for Julius, same with Ishida for Joker.

Janet Lorin
and John Hechinger
Bloomberg News
About one in seven borrowers defaulted on their federal student loans, showing how former students are buckling under higher-education costs in a weak economy.
The default rate, for the first three years that students are required to make payments, was 14.7 percent, up from 13.4 percent the year before, the U.S. Education Department said in a Monday report.
Based on a related measure, defaults are at the highest level since 1995.
The fresh data follow the announcement by President Barack Obama�s administration that it would seek to restrain skyrocketing college expenses by tying federal financial aid to a new government rating of costs and educational outcomes. The rising number of defaults shows the pain of borrowers, said Rory O�Sullivan, policy and research director at Young Invincibles, a Washington nonprofit group.
�Our generation is behind in the economic recovery and not recovering as fast as we need to,� said O�Sullivan, whose group represents the interests of people ages 18 to 34. �It�s financial disaster for borrowers. Defaults can dramatically affect their credit rating and make it harder to borrow in the future.�
The report covers the three years through Sept. 30, 2012. The default rate, which includes graduates and those who dropped out, shows the share of borrowers who haven�t made required payments for at least 270 consecutive days.
The rate doesn�t include those who are putting off payments, through deferral or economic hardship called forbearance, or borrowers who are on federal income-based repayment programs, meaning it understates their hardship, O�Sullivan said.
U.S. borrowers owe $1.2 trillion in student-loan debt � including government loans and those from private lenders such as SLM Corp., commonly called Sallie Mae. That sum surpasses all other kinds of consumer borrowing except for mortgages.
Last year, the Education Department revamped the way it reports student-loan defaults after Congress demanded a more comprehensive measure because of concern that colleges counsel students to defer payments to make default rates seem low. Previously, the agency reported the rate only for the first two years that payments are required.
Public colleges reported a 13 percent default rate while nonprofit private schools had a rate of 8.2 percent. For-profit colleges fared the worst, at almost 22 percent.
Under the older two-year measure, the rate for all colleges was 10 percent, up from 9.1 percent the year before � and the highest since 1995.
�The growing number of students who have defaulted on their federal student loans is troubling,� U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement. �The Department will continue to work with institutions and borrowers to ensure that student debt is affordable.�

California court clarifies 3 strikes law in ruling
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The California Supreme Court ruled that two felony convictions stemming from a single act cannot be counted as separate strikes under the state's three strikes sentencing law.
The 1994 law requires the doubling of a sentence if a defendant has a prior qualifying felony conviction, and that the person be given a life term if there are two such convictions.
The unanimous ruling on Thursday came in the case of Darlene Vargas, who was sentenced to 25-years to life for burglary on the basis of two prior convictions.
The high court said those convictions for robbery and carjacking stemmed from the same act — taking a car by force — and should not count as two separate strikes and prompt a tougher sentence.
Writing for the court, Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar said the case presented an extreme situation in which the convictions were based on the "same act, committed at the same time against the same victim."
Werdegar said treating Vargas' convictions as two separate strikes was inconsistent with the spirit of the three strikes law.
"The voting public would reasonably have understood the three strikes baseball metaphor to mean that a person would have three chances — three swings of the bat, if you will — before the harshest penalty could be imposed," she said. "The public also would have understood that no one can be called for two strikes on just one swing."
The justices sent the case back to the trial court for resentencing.

Seasoning Savvy
Are whole spices better than ground ones?
Whole spices generally have more flavor, so buy them and grind them yourself whenever possible, says Dave Grotto, RD, a FITNESS advisory board member and author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life. However, when it comes to your health, whole and ground spices are equally good for you. The antioxidants in them are retained during the grinding process.
What's the best way to store spices?
Heat, air, and light can cause spices to lose their flavor, so keep them in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
How long should I keep spices?
They start to lose their flavor and health benefits after three months. Toss them after six.
