Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: the free agent guard can't imagine coming back to New Orleans.
Carl Nicks joined WWL in New Orleans to give an update on non-existent contract talks with the Saints. He also detailed why he has such high contract demands, reflected on his time in the Bayou in the past tense and took a moment to address the bounty scandal and the unnamed snitch who brought the story to the league offices.
On if he has any progress to report when it comes to contract talks:
"No, nothing's really changed since, you know, ever I guess."
On if that disappoints him:
"I'm kinda disappointed. I thought I meant a little more to the team than that, but I guess it is what it is."
Of if he thinks the Saints are moving in another direction:
"It had to be. I think they're probably going to draft a young guy in the late rounds like they did me and Jahri (Evans). But I mean, it has to be, right? … I just think that's what the plan is because maybe I cost too much or they don't think I'm in their future plans, they can get somebody cheaper or younger or whatever - whatever the case may be. I haven't heard anything. There's a lot more troubling issues I guess, as far as (what) the Saints organization has to deal with, so I mean, they're probably just busy."
On his contract demands:
"I plan to be the highest paid guard in the NFL. You can take that whatever kinda way but that's my goal, so…more than Logan Mankins got I guess."
On if he feels he's earned that:
"Absolutely. I mean I don't wanna sound cocky or anything but I busted my butt for four years, I made a couple Pro Bowls. For my first three years I was the lowest paid guard of all the starting guard in the NFL. And I never complained, I never held out, I came in early to sign my tender when no one else was doing that. I've been dedicated to the team and I've proven my stats speak for itself. I just feel like I should get paid what I deserve."
On if he and his agent have talked to the Saints at all thus far:
"I think my agent spoke with them briefly, I wanna say maybe a day or two before the Combine started. And that was it. And it was real brief - no specifics."
On if he or his agent has talked to them since:
"No. No they called me I wanna say maybe three weeks ago, four weeks ago, asking me if I had any questions or if we had any questions about the whole situation to give them a call. And I guess maybe I shoulda called them. But the only question I have is, How come there's been no effort made to reach out to me? Even if it was just like a low deal, there's been no effort."
On if he's disappointed they haven't made an offer at all or if it's more because they aren't willing to meet his price:
"I just feel like even if they felt like they couldn't afford me or whatever, at least make an effort and at least try to low-ball me. It sounds weird but if you act like you really want to make something work then maybe I'm up for discussion. I'm not greedy, I just want what's fair, but at the same time if you didn't offer me anything then what am I supposed to do?"
On if he's prepared to move in another direction:
"At this point … I'm absolutely prepared. I mean, what can you do? If a team acts like they don't want you then the only thing you can do is leave."
On if the Saints know what his expectations are:
"Yeah they absolutely know. My agent made it very clear what my expectations were."
On what he says to fans who think he's asking for too much:
"One, I don't think they're in my position to be criticizing or telling what I deserve and don't deserve. And two, they've gotta realize it's a business. Yeah, it's fan-driven, and yeah, it's a team sport. But at the end of the day if you get an opportunity to set your family up for the rest of your life you take it. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. So people can say whatever negative they want - at the end of the day I know I'm gonna get what I deserve and I'm gonna get what I earned. But everybody's entitled to their opinion."
On if knows who the bounty scandal snitch is:
"No, but someone definitely did rat though, and everybody on the team that we played with the last three, four years, they're not that kind of person to just (tell) them for no reason. Especially when they know it's such a big deal. Where I'm from you don't tell, especially on your teammates like your brothers. So whoever did it probably had to play with us for a year or two or a couple years."
On if he thinks the snitch is a player:
"I doubt it, man. I mean, maybe it's a player who was just around that time - that felt they got did wrong some kinda way maybe. But I highly doubt that it was a player."
On his time in New Orleans and what he tells fans who ask him to stay:
"I kinda just smile and tell them, 'Why do you work?' I ask them, 'Why do you work and why do you do what you do?' You know, money. And you know we do it for the love of the game, we do it for the glory and championships first and foremost. But we do it for the money. And they might say, 'Oh we're greedy and athletes are this and that' but that's just the bottom line. And my time in New Orleans was the best time I've ever had as an adult. Just being a part of that Super Bowl, all the records we broke. Just being in the locker room - I think that's one thing I'm really gonna miss - just all my boys in the locker room. One thing about this team, we weren't just teammates, we were like brothers. We all hung around each other. And people might say if you're brothers how you gonna leave? And I'm like, 'Well, it gets to a certain point in anybody's household where the kids gotta leave eventually. If your parents aren't showing you no love, you gotta leave. And I don't think the Saints front office is showing me any kind of love."
On if he think he's as good as gone:
"I pretty much am gone, to be honest. I don't think they're gonna make any last-ditch efforts to try to sign me."

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more.
It snowed in New York this week, which sent us scrambling not just for our coats, scarves, hats, and mittens, but also for our saucepans. Why? To make warm drinks, of course.
This week we're sipping from our mugs by a roaring fire and answering the question: What's your favorite cold-weather drink? Be sure to check out Peter's nostalgia-licious hot chocolate memory!
Amanda: Well, I do like my second place hot toddy with dried cherries and lime but I'm also a fan of "brandy and milk" (aka my old lady drink) -- brandy, a pinch of sugar, a few shavings of nutmeg, and hot milk.
Merrill: I love a cup of warm milk with a drop or two of vanilla extract (or better yet infused with half a vanilla bean) and a whisper of sugar. No caffeine, so it's a great pre-bed treat!
Kristy: I like port with a little bit of chocolate on the side. But when I'm not that exciting (which is all the time), just give me tea or warm homemade cashew milk steeped with some vanilla bean.
Kenzi: Hot toddies have been winning a lot lately. I always kind of daydream about having a pot of mulled wine gently warming on my stove, but that hasn't been happening. Bourbon it is.
Marian: Ginger tea with lemon and honey. It's kitschy, but I love Bigelow's Ginger Snappish tea, which I now order in bulk from Amazon. Hot toddies make a regular appearance as well.
Kristen: Hot chocolate -- the not-too-sweet, highly drinkable kind (like this one), not the thick, sludgy, liquid chocolate bar kind. How are you supposed to drink a giant mug of that stuff and not feel crazy? And no, I won't settle for less than a giant mug.
Stephanie: Mine is hot chocolate made with lots of milk and good chocolate plus a little bit of cardamom.
Peter: Crappy instant hot cocoa...in a styrofoam cup...too hot to drink...consumed one plastic soup spoon at a time (to the ever-increasing frustration of my father)...while sitting by the fireplace...at the main ski lodge at Vermont's Mount Snow.
Jennifer: I have to confess, it's my husband's favorite cold-weather drink -- but I'm hooked -- the PERFECT Manhattan: Woodford Reserve Bourbon, 3 drops dry vermouth, 2 drops Angostura bitters, and a jigger of sweet vermouth, stirred (never shaken), and poured into a chilled martini glass garnished with LUXARDO -- The Original Maraschino Cherries from Italy.
Amanda Li: Irish Coffee with whiskey, not the Bailey's stuff.
Gheanna: Gløgg!
Karl: +1 on the Gløgg, a Scandinavian favorite!
Maddy: Glühwein. Ever since I had my first mug at a Christmas market in Germany a few years ago, it's become a winter tradition. It's one of those make-it-to-taste drinks, and I prefer mine strong, fortified with rum. Also, it reheats beautifully. I'll make a big batch, strain out the orange peel, cloves, and cinnamon, chill it, and then draw down from it as needed.
Michael: One part cognac, one part Grand Marnier.
Molly: A little bourbon on the rocks or Earl Grey tea with almond milk.
Ryan: A simple hot cider for me. Preferably nicely spiced. At all of the outdoor farmer's and holiday markets the large steaming pots on the camp stoves always catch my eye immediately. While delicious, the cup's primary purpose is usually a handwarmer.
Lindsay-Jean: Soy gingerbread latte with whipped cream. Yup, the kind that comes in a red cup.
Nozlee: A good chocolate milkshake, preferably consumed outside. Something about being cold and consuming something cold feels good!

Best vehicle
By Rios on Wednesday, August 31, 2016Purchased a 2013 Limited, best vehicle ever. Comes loaded with Park Assist for those that can't parallel park. Great in tight situations. The adaptive cruise is phenomenal, slows down when it gets close to traffic (distance adjustable). Now the warning sensors will keep you on your toes if you get too close and forget to brake. Now the six seater is the way to go with the front driver and passenger seat with a/c blowing up your hi-nee, freaking awesome. The refrigerator/freezer in the second row worth having on road trips. The Flex rides like a sedan but has the looks of a Chevy Tahoe lower version but has more rear space with the third row up than a Tahoe. The towing capacity is awesome had the biggest U haul trailer you can rent hooked onto the back.

By autoshop mama on Friday, August 15, 2014Its wonderful, dives like a car, but holds cargo like a minivan. We used to own a minivan and needed something we could tow with and the flex was perfect. The kids can get in and out easily even from the third row. The fuel economy is not impressive (i have heard it got better in later years). I would buy it all over again! Engine is peppy and towing does not make it feel under powered.

I wish I had one sooner
By CA on Tuesday, September 18, 20122009 Flex SEL FWD, leather seating. This is easily the finest car I have ever owned (of 20+). Tremendous seating comfort for both large adults & smaller children. Easy for adults to sit in the middle row seating, which tilt backs for comfort. The vehicle 'feels' larger inside than it is, & we have taken many cross country trips in it without complaint. The styling is unique, & the control cluster (we opted for manual controls vs the touch screen) is logical & easy to use both day/night. The kids especially enjoy the rear air/heat separate controls and the wireless headphone DVD system. This is a complex & most useful entertainment system that can support the driver listening to the radio in the front, kids watching a DVD in the back AND on a separate wireless headphone channel other kids listening to CDs or a different radio channel. My previous car was a V-8 & believe the power of this V-6 is roughly equivalent, with more than adequate power on mountain roads heavily loaded with people & luggage for vacation (but we do not tow). It is easy to drive & handles well when asked to, characteristically it handles much closer to a solid sedan rather than to a mini-van or SUV. The FWD is competent & sure footed in Michigan climates. We have had no mechanical issues other than routine maintenance in the first 100K miles, & it has held up cosmetically very well. What is not to love?

Asbestos: Think Again: About the photographer
About the photo's subject: Joe Darabant
JOE DARABANT, Manville, NJ. Joe worked in "E" & "H" Buildings at the Johns-Manville Plant for more than 30 years, cutting asbestos shingles, and making asbestos block and pipe-covering materials. He remembers the dust being so thick that much of the time he couldn't see from one end of the building to the other. When he retired in 1974, the JM Medical Center attributed his poor health to "chronic bronchitis" and a "weak heart." He was subsequently diagnosed as having asbestosis. Such is the insidious and progressive nature of this disease that now, fifteen years later, he must take oxygen twenty-four hours a day. more than a dozen of his friends and acquaintances at the plant have died of asbestos disease. "If JM had only told us that there was something dangerous, we would all be here today," he said recently. "I wish I would have some friends. Now, all my friends are in the cemetery."
Joe Darabant died from asbestosis on April, 26, 1990 at the age of 66.
Note: In Paul Brodeur's essay, The Asbestos Tragedy, he outlines the cover-up and JM's company policy with respect to informing the work force about their medical condition. Below are a few caveats from the essay, The Asbestos Tragedy (© 1990):
In 1943, Vandiver Brown told representatives of the Union Asbestos & Rubber Company, Paterson, New Jersey, that Johns-Manville did not inform its employees when their chest X-rays showed that they had developed asbestos disease. Brown said that if the workers were told, they would stop working or file claims against Johns-Manville, and that it was company policy to let them work until they quit because of asbestosis, or die as a result of it.
In 1949, Dr. Kenneth Smith, who would subsequently become the medical director of Johns-Manville, sent a memorandum to company headquarters concerning seven asbestos mill employees whose X-rays showed signs of early asbestosis. The memo, which did not come to light until 1976, provided written evidence that Johns-Manville was following a policy of not informing its workers when they developed the disease. "But as long as the man is not disabled it is felt that he should not be told of his condition so that he can live and work in peace and the company can benefit by his many years of experience."
About the Photographer: artist's statement
Preface from "Breath Taken: The Landscape & Biography of Asbestos"
By Bill Ravanesi
In the autumn of 1980, I was informed that my father had malignant mesothelioma. At that time, neither my father nor I had ever heard of this disease. We would soon learn that my father had only months to live, and that this fatal cancer was caused by his past exposure to asbestos as a shipyard worker in Boston during World War II.
Prior to his illness, my father was 6 feet tall, 220 pounds. In the two months before his death, his weight fell to 160 pounds, he was in constant pain, and was put on intravenous morphine. My family watched, stunned, as he wasted away. Finally, on January 9th, 1981, he succumbed to the cement-like tumors that had invaded the lining of his chest cavity.
A few years later, I came across Expendable Americans, written by Paul Brodeur. This book revealed to me an incredible story of how thousands and thousands of American men and women die each year of preventable diseases caused by exposure to asbestos. My own agonizing encounter with asbestos, together with my newfound awareness from Brodeur's book, led me to asbestos as the subject of my next project. Breath Taken: The Landscape and Biography of Asbestos, which began in January 1984, took me first to many research libraries, then to the homes of hundreds of victims and their families. As well, I visited the primary sites of the asbestos industry in the United States and Canada, many of the remaining shipyards, and spoke to professionals in the fields of science, medicine and law. I did all of this in an attempt to use my art to document this avoidable human disaster, and to come to grips with my outrage.
During the early phases of the asbestos project, while I was concentrating on oral history work, it became clear to me that the visual disposition of many of my subjects was very different from my preconceived notion. Of course, images of my father's suffering were still fresh in my mind's eye. I had expected that the victims I would meet would have had a similar fate. Although almost all of the victims had scarred lungs, and many were in different stages of various asbestos-caused cancers, many had an outward appearance of health. How does one photograph a victim, who for the most part, looks healthy, but is wasting away from the inside out? In the process of trying to deal with this reality I grew frustrated. Near the end of the first year of the project, I decided to select a small group of victims and to photograph and rephotograph them over a long period of time, creating sequences in which I also included their family snapshots, wedding pictures, and vintage images made earlier in their work careers by company photographers. Some of these sequences stretch over a 40-year period and document the progression of their diseases. In other cases, it became necessary to include their voices so that they could explain that despite their seemingly healthy appearance, they were indeed suffering. This led me to include oral history transcriptions in the exhibition narrative and to produce a video installation piece so that their testimonies could be heard.
Amid the controversies over liability for past exposures and prevention of future instances, the victims of asbestos-caused diseases were and still are strangely missing from our sight. To the degree that we see them at all, it is usually as objects rather than as subjects—statistics to be recorded, cases to be diagnosed, or plaintiffs to be deposed. Our knowledge of asbestos as a major medical, legal, and social problem has tended ironically to obscure the fact of asbestos as a profound human tragedy that many families have lived and continue to live through. Breath Taken, through its inclusion of both contemporary and vintage images, narrative, industry advertisements, objects, and voice will, I would hope, give the viewer a landscape of awareness of this human tragedy.
Today many people consider the asbestos problem behind us. But, what about the thirty-million tons of asbestos fibers that remain in place in our society? Asbestos is in buildings like schools, homes, offices and the workplace; in automobiles; in the more than 200,000 miles of transite asbestos drinking water pipe, pipe that has been underground for over 40 years, that is now deteriorating? We, therefore, continue to be faced with important decisions regarding the public's health and safety. Will our public policies regarding this health menace add to the quarter million deaths already projected for the next 20 to 25 years from asbestos-induced lung cancers alone? Will all this breath taken be in vain?

I could be wrong, but you can only have a single X output running at a time, unless you specifically have multiple displays setup, and you call X for the specific display. Otherwise, the call to start an X session (with defaults) will wipe the existing one.
Go well.

With lightdm.service enable and started, i can use dm-tool (dm-tool switch-to-greeter) to start other 'instance' of lightdm login on other vtn.
If i execute startx -- :n+1 on other vt (same user or not) with lightdm started, the session opened using lightdm are closed.
I think the way how lightdm works with systemd-logind service is the key, but i still not figure out.
by the way, i still look like a f*king panda (:

POTTSTOWN - A popular TV show became reality for Pottstown High School's culinary arts students Monday when they participated in 'Grumpy's Chopped Challenge.'
Eugene 'Grumpy' Dugan, owner of Grumpy's restaurant, cooked up the idea when a student helped out at his restaurant during the summer. He and his wife Sheila have three high school students, and they thought it would be a good way to build up their confidence and a nice addition to their resume when they go off to college or the work force.
The concept, similar to the Food Network's popular competition show, involved mystery ingredients provided by 'Grumpy,' that the students had to use in a sandwich recipe that they created in just one hour. Four judges tasted the sandwiches and rated them on creative use of the special ingredients, presentation and taste. The sandwiches were only labeled with a letter so the identity of the cooks was unknown.
The 13 students involved were divided into teams, resulting in seven different sandwiches for the judges to sample. Judges for the competition were Mark Weitzenkorn, Pottstown business owner, Jeff Sparagana, Pottstown schools superintendent, Cheryl Thornburg, features editor for The Mercury and Judyth Zahora, president of the Pottstown School Board.
The competition was fierce, for there were some big prizes at stake, resulting in delicious sandwiches worthy of a place on Grumpy's menu – which was just one of the prizes. The winners get to divide the $100 cash prize and a large basket full of premium cooking tools and cookbooks.
The students had to use their cooking skills and creativity to come up with a sandwich using boneless chicken, an orange, chopped walnuts – and marshmallows. It was amazing how many ways the students combined the ingredients – no two were alike.
The judges had their work cut out for them, but eventually came up with a winner – Sandwich G – which they later discovered was created by the team of Alyssa Wanish and Hannah Irvin. They used thinly sliced roast chicken with a touch of rosemary, with some of the other 'secret' ingredients blended into a mayonnaise. It was topped off with caramelized shallots. It was a hit with all the judges, myself included.
But all the students turned out some winning recipes. Other students competing were: Robbie McCoy, Derek Piechota Adrianna Douglas, April Price, Matt Taylor, Kim Swanson, Jihad Ali, Ryan Krause, Darien Hain, Darrin Cooper and Jaine Cabellero. All of the students received Grupy's Chopped Challenge T-shirts.
The winning girls joined their last names together and dubbed their sandwich The Irvanish Special. It will be featured on the Grumpy's menu soon.
The students are part of the school's culinary arts program under the guidance of Mary Jo Kuhwald.

Here are some depictions of electromagnetic wave, similar to the depictions in other places:
Isn't there an error? It is logical to presume that the electric field should have maximum when magnetic field is at zero and vise versa, so that there is no moment when the both vectors are zero at the same time. Otherwise one comes to a conclusion that the total energy of the system becomes zero, then grows to maximum, then becomes zero again which contradicts the conservation law.

When it comes to spring cleaning, the inside of your house is not the only place that needs some love. Winter can be brutal to your lawn and garden area and now is the perfect time to begin sprucing up your outdoors. Here are five important tips for a Spring lawn and garden:
1. Clean up and rake. Winter can leave behind a lot of leaves, twigs and other debris. Clear it away to help your lawn and garden breathe. The occasional leaf isn't a big deal, but piles can lead to mold or decay.
Frugal tip: Add leftover organic materials to your compost pile, which can later be used in your garden. It's cheaper to make compost than to buy it.
2. In your garden, clear away weeds and aerate the soil. Get rid of weeds as early as possible and then loosen the soil—this makes it possible for oxygen to reach the roots of the plants. In smaller areas you can use hand tools, but if you have a large garden, a rotary cultivator is the way to go.
Frugal tip: If you need to rent an aerator, coordinate with your neighbor and split the cost.
3. Prune trees. Fruit trees especially need to be pruned in order to carry fruit. This involves removing dead branches or cross branches that rub against each other. Branches that point straight up or inwards should be removed, as well.
Frugal tip: Pruning requires work, but your tree will produce a lot more fruit if you take care of it. This means savings at the grocery store.
4. Trim the hedges. Hedges with leaves should preferably be trimmed in early spring. Conifers are better trimmed during the growing period, one time early spring and once more in the middle of the summer.
Frugal tip: Need a new trimmer? Check out these coupon codes for lawn and garden supplies.
5. Cut and aerate your lawn. Don't cut the grass too short. When you mow only a third of the grass leaf each cutting, you can safely leave clippings that will decompose and add nutrients to the soil. Also, altering the direction you mow means a more even cut since grass blades will grow more erect and not develop into a set pattern.
Frugal tip: Keep your mower blades sharp—you'll reduce fuel costs and get a cleaner cut.

The purpose was to bring to life the rich history of the area while showcasing the acting talent of local Newfoundlanders.
In 1994, the company opened the Summer in the Bight theatre festival as a companion event to the pageant. Each year, the festival brings to the stage a new season of plays, dinner theatre and concerts that focus on the inspiring stories that make this province unique. The festival had traditionally run during the summer months, but in 2002 the company expanded the festival into the fall and re-named it "Seasons in the Bight". Since then, Rising Tide has focused on developing new and innovative works by writers such as Des Walsh, Berni Stapleton, Kevin Major, Ed Riche, Ben Pittman, Petrina Bromley, Ruth Lawrence and many more.

Q My question pertains to an installation in Fairfax County, Va. that still follows the 1996 NEC. We have a project where the main electrical service is located in the same room as the controller/disconnect for a fire pump. The fire pump controller is located 6 feet from the main service switchboard, and is fed by dual sources, the normal power and an emergency generator.
Is the 6-foot physical spacing acceptable and does it need to be in a separate room, or can it be in a separate space? Can the controller be located in an area behind a 6-foot block wall that is open on top, so that it is still part of the same electrical room?
The 1996 NFPA Handbook for the NEC shows an illustration of a generator dedicated to the fire pump. It describes a direct connection in Section 695-4(b). Is this the intent of the Code? We typically will design a generator service, by bringing the emergency feeder into a distribution panelboard and feed sub-feeders from that panelboard to various emergency loads through automatic transfer switches, such as elevators, egress lighting and the fire pumps. We typically will size the fire pump emergency service to be at 250% of the full load requirements of the pump motor. Is that also within Code?
Does the direct connect requirement of the Code really necessitate a dedicated emergency generator service to the fire pump?
A As noted in the commentary of the 1996 NEC Handbook, neither the NEC nor NFPA 20 require a dedicated room. NFPA 20 does describe a suitable space. Certainly it can be in the same room, perhaps separated by a partition or barrier, but even a barrier is not necessarily required. There must be sufficient separation to minimize the possibility that some accident in the normal service will also compromise the fire pump installation. The AHJ should be consulted in individual cases.
The NEC requires a reliable source of power for a fire pump.
In some jurisdictions, the utility source may be judged to meet this requirement. However, in many situations, an on-site source is also required. A generator used to supply a fire pump need not be dedicated to the fire pump, but the direct connection requirement you refer to (Section 695-4(b) in the 1996 NEC) would require a separate transfer switch for the fire pump, usually as part of a listed combination fire pump controller and transfer switch. This usually also requires a separate feeder, perhaps separately routed, from the generator to the fire pump transfer switch.
Your 250% rule may or may not provide adequate capacity for the fire pump. The capacity of the feeder conductors is only required to meet the normal 125% requirement for motors in general. However, the overcurrent device should be selected to provide short-circuit and ground-fault protection only and the controller is not permitted to provide overload protection.
The overcurrent device must allow the locked-rotor current to continue indefinitely. This is better covered in the 1999 NEC. However, users of either the 1996 or 1999 NEC should also refer to NFPA 20, Standard for Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps. See Appendix A for specific references to NFPA 20 that are extracted and included in the NEC.

July 25, 2002 — NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter has sent back the first infrared image of a long-debated formation known as the "Face on Mars." Observers who expected the infrared picture to provide new revelations about the features voiced their disappointment, saying they were hoping for "night-vision" imagery as well as daytime views.
The debate over the Face was sparked a quarter-century ago when NASA's Viking orbiters sent back pictures of the Cydonia region that appeared to show a half-shadowed, helmeted face. Since then, additional formations have been identified as the "D&M Pyramid," "the City" and so forth — and fans of the Face have argued that the formations showed evidence of artificial construction.
In the past five years, sharper imagery from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter strengthened the mainstream view that the Face and the other formations were nothing more than wind-eroded, crumbling mesas. But the Face on Mars lived on as a fringe-science phenomenon — and even provided a key piece of the plot for the 2000 science-fiction movie "Mission to Mars."
The infrared edge
The Viking and Global Surveyor images of Cydonia were made in visible light. In contrast, Mars Odyssey is designed to take pictures by day or by night, using its Thermal Emission Imaging System, or THEMIS for short. In addition to taking visible-light pictures, THEMIS can register various wavelengths of infrared light — in effect, providing a picture based on temperature readings from the Red Planet's surface.
The THEMIS image released Wednesday was made by combining filtered images for 10 different wavelengths. Its maximum resolution for infrared imagery is about 328 feet (100 meters) per picture element, which is not as good as the Global Surveyor images or the highest-resolution Viking images. It's not even as sharp as an earlier visible-light image from THEMIS.
The imager's research team at Arizona State University said the new picture didn't show anything remarkable about the Face or other features.
"Our instruments are showing that there are no differences from the other mesas in that area," Jim Rice, a member of the team, told MSNBC.com. "It's just natural erosional processes. There's nothing unique about the Face."
He said that "if there were any major differences in rock types, they'd be showing up in the infrared."
Despite that assessment, some of the Face's most ardent advocates claimed that there was more than what met the eye. In a flurry of e-mail messages sent to public officials and media outlets, including MSNBC.com, they said they had been led to expect nighttime infrared imagery that might show some unexpected features.
"That's totally incorrect," Rice said. "We have not had a pass over (the Face during) nighttime yet."
He said researchers would "definitely" be interested in getting nighttime infrared imagery of the Face when the orbiter's ground track presented an opportunity.
Rice said THEMIS was also gathering infrared pictures of a wide variety of other targets — such as gullies and channels, layered terrain and polar caps, the Viking landing sites as well as potential landing sites for next year's Mars Exploration Rovers. The imagery is posted regularly on Arizona State's THEMIS Web site.
"We're putting new stuff out there every day for the public to look at," Rice said. "There's no secret here, no conspiracy."

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A personal essay is an argument or narrative that uses private experiences to comment on a larger cultural issue.
Teachers may want to use this strategy as a follow-up to a detailed investigation of a politically-oriented text. After students have reflected on the political issue raised by the text, teachers should ask them to list all the ways in which this political issue impacts their own communities. For example, teacher Sandra Childs asks her students to list the various ways people in their communities struggle with cultural ideals of beauty. Then, teachers can ask students to share some of their listed items with the class so that each student is introduced to new ideas and is pushed to think more imaginatively about how the political issue affects them.
When the class discussion has ended, teachers should ask students to write a free-form essay about one of the items on their own lists. Students should be encouraged to describe their personal experiences in as much detail as possible and to think about how their experiences have been affected by the larger political question they are studying. If applicable, students should use their personal experience as the basis of an argument or a proposal for political action.
Finally, teachers should ask students to read their essays aloud. The class can then spend time comparing the arguments put forth in various student essays, noting how the ideas of others have affected their own perspectives on the issues.
When students use their own experiences to make arguments about larger cultural issues, they recognize how the political questions they study affect their lives. This encourages students to find connections between their private struggles and larger political struggles, and they may find ways in which they can join with others to create change.
By sharing these personal essays, students also learn to speak in public about the ways political issues have affected their private lives. By encouraging this kind of openness, teachers create a space for students to connect with one another, to recognize their common goals, and to work together for positive change.

You know the face but the name escapes you... The last time you saw her she told you something important, but you don't know what it was... He's out of context and you're hoping for a clue where he's from.
That name at the ready. Your connections to hand. Unlock your superpower. Get Intro on the App Store.
Maybe in life, you learn from your mistakes. But in learning names, errors undermine recall.
Intro provides a face/voice and name learning tool. Start with your entire personal network, or focus your learning on a person, group, or context. Either way, you'll have a deceptively simple learning experience that uses errorless learning techniques with spaced retrieval. Basically, learning that understands how your brain is wired.
You will learn names, and you will remember them. You will be amazed. Honestly, it's like unlocking a superpower.
(No endorsement is implied from the people pictured in the Learn video, nor the organisations they represent.)
Intro can be populated with your data from the iPhone Contacts, and keep the Contacts app up to date. (Or not, your choice.)
Update contact details, sure. But Intro does far more. Easily re-order details to put the most important things first, on a per-contact basis. Merge duplicate contacts into a single entry.
Try doing either of those in Contacts... you can't. Yet your Intro will update Contacts with these changes too.
And of course, you can start calls and messages right here. You may never need to go back to Contacts again.
Pull any thread.
But there's more to people than just phone numbers & email.
Dial up an avatar to tag a person with a range of physical attributes. (Coming soon: tag a person with a vocal profile if that's your thing.)
You can then dial these up in search. So next time you see that blonde woman in the supermarket, you'll quickly find who you're talking to, even if you've drawn a blank on both the name and where she's from.
Give voice.
Coming soon: A voice can paint 1,000 pictures. Create a vocal profile of your contacts, from gender, to accent, confidence, the language complexity they use, their height, and other notes.
You can search on these and other criteria later to find someone again—whether they're in current earshot or you're just hearing them again in your own mental replay.
Swiping, tapping, and searching are all well and good when you need them. But wouldn't it be better to just have the info at a glance?
Bookmark a person as a priority and they'll be in the first list you see as soon as the app launches.
So whatever your day holds you'll have the names you most need right to hand—for your key appointments, and for that person you just met at the party.

Patagonia Kids' Beanie Hat
The Kids' Beanie Hat comes in fun patterns made of 100% recycled polyester knit and is lined with a warm, moisture-wicking fleece headband.
- Soft 100% recycled polyester won't lose shape or shrink
- Warm, 2½" polyester brushed-fleece headband lining
- 60 g (2.1 oz)
Outer: 100% recycled polyester.
Internal band: 100% polyester brushed fleece
Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.

At a recent screening for The Fighter, an Uncharted fan approaches David O. Russell to tell the filmmaker just why actor Nathan Fillion is perfect for the flick. This gamer's played all the Uncharted games - all two of them! Awkwardness ensues.
Russell replies, "Alright, alright, alright, alright, OK...", adding "You know, if they want to put somebody in there that's not a big deal." The director then tells the Fillion fan, "Alright, I hear you, you... stood up for your boy."
Fillion is the star of ABC series Castle, and expressed interest in the Uncharted film recently via Twitter.
Too little too late, perhaps. Word is that Mark Wahlberg, star of The Fighter and big deal, is going to play Uncharted hero Nathan Drake and Robert DeNiro might be his father. And something about the Uncharted movie being about a family of treasure hunters? Or something.
Earlier this month, Russell told the LA Times, "This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities ... [a family]that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice."

Four People Dead After Colorado Standoff
AURORA, Colo. (CNN) — A barricaded gunman and three persons were found dead in a home after police exchanged fire with the gunman to end a standoff Saturday, authorities said.
A woman earlier escaped uninjured from the home and told police she saw three apparently lifeless persons inside the home, authorities said. She said the man was firing shots inside the residence before 3 a.m., police said.
During a subsequent standoff, the gunman behaved "very irrationally," hung up the phone on negotiators, and ignored bullhorn commands to exit the premises, authorities said.
"The male was given multiple commands to come out of the house both on the phone and from a bullhorn outside. He did not comply," Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said in a statement.
Five hours into the incident, a SWAT team in an armored vehicle broke out a house window, and the gunman fired upon the vehicle, without injury to the officers, police said.
Police didn't return fire at the time.
An hour later, the gunman fired upon officers from a second-floor window, but this time, police returned fire, striking the suspect, authorities said.
No officers were injured.
Police entered the residence and found the gunman dead in the upstairs bedroom, authorities said. Police also found two men and a woman — all deceased– inside the home, authorities said.
The officers who fired their weapons were placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal review of the incident, police said.
Police weren't releasing the names of the victims or gunman Saturday afternoon.
Aurora was the scene of a mass shooting last July when a gunman killed 12 people and injured 58 more in a movie theater as they watched a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises." The 25-year-old man accused in that incident faces 152 charges, including murder and weapons offenses.

2015-07-21 - As an avid runner and mother of two-year-old daughter Lymée, international supermodel Ymre Stiekema was our first choice to star beside the Bugaboo Runner in this month's Vogue Netherlands shoot. We caught up to talk about her running habits.
Hailing from the tiny village of Tolbert in the Dutch countryside, where she lived until very recently, Ymre Stiekema (23) is one of the Netherlands' best-known faces today. Besides shooting ad campaigns for high-end fashion brands such as Prada and posing for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, Ymre spends time with her family, partner Wouter Komdeur (23) and daughterLymée (2), in Haarlem, and manages to find time in her crazy schedule to work out.
Where are you at the moment and what are you doing?
Ymre: "I'm in Madrid doing a shoot for Harper's Bazaar and about to travel to Barcelona for wedding dress designer Pronovias."
Your Instagram followers know that you love to hit the gym and go out for a run. How long have you been running and how did you start?
"I love running, especially in the summer. When it's cold outside I prefer the gym. My dad has been a marathon runner ever since I can remember so I used to tag along with him. Although, (laughing) 42 km is a bit too far for me!"
Where do you like to run, and what does running mean to you?
"I can't run at the moment because of an injury, and I recently moved from Tolbert to Haarlem, so I haven't found my favourite running spot yet, but I always loved running cross-country through the fields. Running is a great way to just empty your head and enjoy the scenery."
How do you combine sports and your busy schedule?
"It can be pretty difficult at times. When I'm at home, I try to work out every day, and I'll always put on my workout gear if my hotel has a small gym or the location is good for running. Of course, it's not the end of the world to miss a workout, I just miss them when I do."
How has becoming a mother influenced your career as a model?
"It's a lot harder to be away from home, but it has made me more driven. The best thing is coming home to someone who runs into your arms and says 'I miss mummy'."
Your partner is a personal trainer, how did the two of you meet?
"I was fifteen when I first met him, and no, he wasn't my personal trainer. We met through a mutual friend."
Is he your personal trainer now?
"I prefer training on my own, but we tend to go to the gym together. I'll ask him whether I'm doing certain exercises properly and ask him for tips, which is ideal."
How did you get back in shape after giving birth? Any tips for new mums?
"Breastfeeding really helped me. I couldn't wait to get back to my workouts after giving birth but you need to wait at least six weeks, which I did. That way I could really focus on Lymée and enjoy just being a mother for a while. It's important to do something you really like, it can be something different each day: running, weight lifting or yoga."
You were recently featured in Vogue Netherlands with the Bugaboo Runner. What was it like shooting a campaign with your daughter?
"I loved it and so did Lymée! She always loves seeing my photos and she knows it mum's work so for her, it was really exciting to come to 'work' with me."
How did she like the Bugaboo Runner?
"We'd only just arrived on set when she said she wanted to sit in the runner. Once we got home, she only wanted to sit in the runner. This summer we're going to make the most of our new stroller."
Do you think you'll be running together more often now?
"Definitely, especially when we start running to the beach. I think Lymée is going to love going fast!"
Stay tuned for more top tips from our Bugaboo Runners!

Brothers Rely on Cooler to Survive Boat Capsizing
(NEW YORK) -- A pair of Florida boaters are alive today after clinging to parts of a cooler for nearly seven hours when their fishing boat capsized off the coast of Miami.
George Verdecia, 29, and his older brother, who was not named, left for a fishing trip late Monday night but only made it about three miles off the shores of Key Biscayne, Fla., before their 12-foot vessel capsized at around 2:30 a.m., according to Coast Guard authorities.
Choppy water and high waves swamped the boat and caused it to capsize, Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Abeyta, commanding officer of the Miami Beach Coast Guard station, told ABC News.
The brothers had lifejackets on board, but had them stored beneath the boat's seats. When the boat capsized, the only thing that popped to the surface was a cooler. Verdecia grabbed the lid while his brother grabbed the cooler's base, according to Abeyta, and both held on, unable to fight the strong current. The two floated all night long and drifted apart.
Verdecia's brother made it to shore around 9:30 a.m. Monday and was spotted by a woman walking on the beach who immediately called 911. Authorities contacted Abeyta's Coast Guard officers who were preparing to depart on a training mission and instead diverted their resources to search for Verdecia.
"We launched all available assets to respond because the brother stated that his brother [Verdecia] was still out there hanging on to the lid of the cooler," Abeyta said. "He was a half mile from shore but the current was preventing him from making it to shore."
The woman who called 911 could see Verdecia from the shore so she directed Abeyta and his officers on the Coast Guard boat to his location, where they pulled Verdecia to safety, less than 20 minutes from when they first got the call.
"When he came on board our vessel he was physically exhausted and showing early onset of hypothermia," Abeyta said. "He was barely hanging on to the lid of the cooler. That was basically what saved his life, the lid of the cooler."
Both Verdecia, who complained of a back injury, and his brother were taken to nearby Mercy Hospital. They were both released Monday afternoon after observation with non-life threatening injuries, according to Abeyta.
Abeyta says the brothers' harrowing tale of survival is a reminder of the importance of wearing life jackets and having an emergency plan in place when in the water.
"Life jackets don't work if you're not wearing them," he said. "And you have to always file a flow plan. If they'd told someone to expect them at, say, 6 o'clock in the morning and were aware they didn't arrive, we could have gotten to them a lot earlier."

Seen a whale? Call the Whale Hotline
Call this number to report: whale sightings in Tasmanian waters, whale or dolphin strandings, injured whales, dolphins or seals, strange or unusual marine mammals and turtles.
Our attitudes towards whales have undergone a massive change in the past few decades. Growing worldwide concern for these gentle marine creatures has fuelled the transition from a commercial exploitation that severely depleted the global population of large whales to an almost universal ban on whaling. Today, a rapidly growing tourist industry provides people with the opportunity to see these remarkable animals in their own environment, while instances of mass strandings bring great public support in efforts to return the animals to the sea. (See our page on whale strandings - how you can help)
Whales, of course, are mammals. Like their land-based relatives, whales are warm-blooded, breathe air and suckle their young on milk. Some species possess hair, particularly around the mouth, but in most species hair has been lost to minimise drag. Whales and dolphins belong to a group of mammals collectively known as cetaceans and are believed to share a common ancestry with the ungulates, a diverse group of hoofed mammals that includes modern-day horses, pigs, sheep, deer, antelopes and camels. Their land-based ancestors adopted a marine existence over 50 million years ago.
Cetaceans are divided into two groups -- the baleen whales and the toothed whales. The toothed whales, as their name suggests, use teeth for feeding, possess only one blowhole opening and have asymmetrical skulls. Baleen whales use baleen (a rigid, keratin-like material similar to our fingernails) which hangs in vertical strips from the upper jaw. Baleen acts like sieves to filter out the tiny crustaceans (krill) on which they feed. Large whales, such as the humpback, can consume over two tonnes of krill each day.
A number of feeding strategies are used to maximise the intake of krill. A remarkable example is the 'bubble-netting' behaviour of the Humpback Whale, in which the animal expels a stream of bubbles from the blowhole while slowly ascending in a spiral to the surface. The bubbles form a cylindrical wall which surrounds the krill and traps them. The whale then swims upwards through the cylinder with its mouth open, consuming the concentration of krill.
Many aspects of cetacean biology reflect their adaptation to the marine environment. Increased size and the development of a thick, insulating layer of fat, or blubber, allows whales to maintain a constant body temperature despite the cold environment in which they often live. The buoyancy provided by water has led to decreases in bone density and a reduction of supportive tissues for internal organs. Because of this, large, stranded whales are in a perilous situation. Their bones can break easily and damage can occur to internal organs due to increased pressure. Whales must come to the surface to breath, although species such as the sperm whale have been known to remain submerged for over 1 1/2 hours and dive to depths in excess of two kilometres. The blow of a whale is the result of expired air (not water) and an oily residue secreted from the lining of the windpipe being forced out through the blowhole. The particular size and shape of the blow can be used as an aid to identification of the species.
Most species of toothed whale are able to use echolocation to form what is effectively a mental picture of their surroundings. These whales produce pulses of very high frequency sound which strike objects and return as echoes. From these echoes, the animal is able to gain detailed information on the size, shape, distance, and even texture of the objects around them. It is believed that the spectacular behaviour known as breaching also serves as a means of communication. Whales such as the Humpback often smack the surface of the water with their tail to warn of danger.
The vocalisations made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale, are often referred to as whale song. Among Humpback Whales, only the male sings, and only on calving grounds and only in the mating period. The song is similar within single populations, but varies between populations. Although we have no clear understanding of the purpose of whale song, it is likely a part of sexual behaviour.
The most frequently seen cetaceans are the common and bottle-nosed dolphins. Among the larger species of baleen whale, Southern Right Whales and Humpback Whales can be seen at east coast vantage points such as Frederick Henry Bay and Great Oyster Bay. While most species migrate some distance off the continental shelf, the Humpback and Southern Right Whale come sufficiently close to the coast to allow regular sightings from land. Humpbacks travel northward to breeding areas off the coast of Queensland and Western Australia between May and July and return southward to their sub-antarctic feeding grounds between September and November.
Southern Right Whales travel north from June to September to the waters of southern mainland Australia and return southward between September and late October. A proportion of the population gives birth in Tasmanian waters. Most sightings occur on the east coast. Although this may be simply a consequence of the higher population of human observers in the east, it is likely that the humpback and southern right whales prefer the calmer waters of the east coast.
Whale watching is one of Tasmania's most popular tourist activities, and many companies offer chartered trips that provide intimate encounters with these animals. However, although whales may commonly appear placid at sea, and dolphins often initiate contact with humans directly, it is important not to disturb cetaceans by approaching closely. Whales and dolphins are particularly vulnerable to damage from hull and propeller strikes on motorised vessels, and due to their size, accidental contact with human powered craft such as sea-kayaks, or with swimmers could potentially result in serious outcomes. In addition to the obvious collision risk the acoustic disturbance from engines, hull noises and disturbance of the water close by may alarm and disorientate animals, particularly if juveniles are present. This is especially important for southern right whales, as they have only recently begun breeding again in Tasmanian waters following their near extinction from whaling activities.
Full details of each species:
Toothed Whales
The Biodiversity Conservation Branch of DPIPWE is currently assisting in research into the recovery of the Southern Right Whale. Along with many other species, the Southern Right Whale suffered massive population declines during the years that commercial whaling ventures operated in Australia, with an estimated 26 000 individuals taken from southern waters of Australia and New Zealand. Today, only some 2, 400 southern right whales migrate to the southern waters of Australia, but numbers are increasing.
The stranding record provides an indication of the species that occur in Tasmanian waters. Some species have been recorded only once and have never actually been observed alive in Tasmanian waters.
Further information on why whales strand, and what you can do to help, can be found here. The following table presents the Tasmanian stranding record to the end of 2010.

Microsoft recently announced that its soon-to-be-released Server 2012 platform will not include a Small Business Server edition. This will be the first time since 2000 that the popular "SBS" platform will no longer be available. Microsoft Small Business Server is designed for smaller organizations (under 75 users), and bundles Microsoft's Server, Sharepoint services, and Microsoft Exchange platform into a single package. This meant an inexpensive way for many smaller organizations to have their own in-house mail solution, without the need to have multiple servers and systems. This decision will impact many of the clients we work with and the future, and in my view is sending a very clear message: Microsoft is committing itself 100% to the cloud. The next version of the server operating system will have the capability to seamlessly integrate with a variety of cloud email providers. The theory being that on-premise mail servers are no longer necessary since cloud-based email solutions are so readily available and inexpensive. This decision should be no surprise to those that follow Microsoft and their development efforts. They have been working hard to publicize their cloud-based products, including Office365. This server decision leaves small- and mid-sized business users with two choices: 1) Spend more money on a second or third server to run the full version of Microsoft Exchange or 2) move your email to the cloud. One of Microsoft's reasons for making this shift was to also consolidate some of their server platforms and simplify licensing (a likely story). Small Business Server and Windows Home Server will no longer be available and will be consolidated into Windows Essential Server (but will have a lower user limit that the previous Small Business Server edition(s)). Time will tell if Microsoft's bet will pay off, but being the 1000 lb. gorilla, they get to drive the market. In our next blog , I'll talk more about this shift and details on how it might impact your business.

Big Thunder Mountain Model
We've got lots of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad love for everyone. This marvelous 1/4" = 1' scale model can be seen in the lobby of the "Frontierland Tower" at the Disneyland Hotel. It's the wildest model in the wilderness!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Origins
Young Imagineer Tony Baxter had recently worked on the install of some Magic Kingdom Fantasyland attractions prior to Walt Disney World opening. He landing work in the model shop and was working with Marc Davis on plans for Thunder Mesa and Western River Expedition. The area would have included a train ride and a very elaborate boat ride sometimes explained as "Cowboys of the Caribbean" or "Pirates of the Caribbean with Cowboys and Indians".
Rising 1970s gas prices, lower-than-desired park attendance, and guests expecting a pirate ride ultimately led to the management-promoted idea of axing Marc Davis' Western River Expedition and the entire Thunder Mesa complex in favor of Pirates of the Caribbean at a fraction of the cost.
Baxter himself was not very happy with the current state of his mine train ride concept. "It has no story, no theme. It's just a train rolling across a hillside, nothing more." The train wasn't very thrilling until later in the ride. Baxter pitched to executives his ideas of a bat-infested cave, an earthquake, and a more thrilling experience starting from the beginning of the ride. Card Walker told Baxter to start work on a stand-alone E-Ticket runaway train thriller, independent of Marc Davis' project.
Meanwhile the concept of Space Mountain was becoming more and more attractive to Magic Kingdom management. America had recently landed on the moon, people were more interested in space flight than the Old West, and the park needed its first "thrill". Space Mountain became top priority amongst Imagineers at W.E.D. Space Mountain opened in January 1975 at Walt Disney World. Shortly after construction started on an entire Space Mountain complex at Disneyland which opened in May of 1977.
Everyone in both parks had thrill fever– guests and management alike. Disneyland management had grown tired of Frontierland's great Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland and it's high maintenance costs. They wanted yet another thrill. Tony Baxter's mine train now had new potential. Would his Florida concept fit in MTTNW's location? Plans were "flipped" and the more-fitting rock style of Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park was selected. The style was to allow for a nice transition between this part of Frontierland and the very nearby Fantasyland.
Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opened September 1979. The name "Big Thunder" came from a large waterfall in Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland. Magic Kingdom wanted a thrill for its west side and debuted their Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in November of 1980.
I, for one, love the Big Thunders. They are very well crafted, have great layouts, a touch of thrill without being obnoxious, and are super immersive. As nice as it would be to ride Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland (it was like three time larger in footprint than its replacement) Big Thunder Mountion wonderful. It lacks a lot of the "nature" of Nature's Wonderland and it's difficult to watch any animal for more than a few seconds (many of which were originally in Nature's Wonderland!). It lacks that charming ride narration and the ride ends much much sooner than the original but really it's a gem.

Boone County Sheriff Says "Wait and See" to Federal Gun Laws
COLUMBIA - Boone County Sheriff Dwayne Carey said Friday he wants to "wait and see" before making a decision on whether or not he would enforce proposed federal gun laws.
Questions to law enforcement arise after two bills in the Missouri House and Senate have been introduced that would make future federal gun laws on semi-automatic firearms and magazine clip sizes unenforceable in the state. But Carey remained non-committal and said he would not make decisions based on "hypothetical" questions.
Carey also said he did not support a group of Missouri sheriffs that sent a letter to President Barack Obama in response to his calls for stricter gun laws on Wednesday.
Johnson County Sheriff Charlie Heiss called on sheriffs across the country in the letter to "rise to the defense and aid of all Americans should the federal government attempt to enact any legislation, or executive order that impedes, erodes, or otherwise diminishes their constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I will use all means legal to meet this solemn and sacred responsibility."
Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox and Lawrence County Sheriff Brad Delay also signed the letter Heiss sent.
Carey said the letter started out as a joint effort by the Missouri Sheriffs' Association, but he - and several other sheriffs - decided not to take part in it.
"Until we see something that need appropriate action I think we ought to just sit back and kind of wait and see what the situation is going to bring," said Carey.

Do not just take our word for it please read below what our clients had to say about us as a company
What our clients had to say about us:
I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for us when buying our first property in Spain. We were so nervous about buying a property abroad as you know but thanks to you, it was extremely easy and stress-free. It is very clear that you love your work and go above and beyond what anyone could expect an estate agent to do. You helped with the money transfer and recommended an efficient and very pleasant solicitor. I was not sure how we would get the keys to our place, as the flight we needed to get was a Sunday, but with no problem, you came out on a Sunday to give us the keys and go around the property with us; (how many British estate agents would do that)? You also arranged a lovely locksmith to change the locks for us - when I told him how impressed we had been with the whole process, he said it was because we had bought through (who in his opinion was the best estate agent) and not all are as good. I have told a couple of friends who are thinking of buying in Spain they absolutely must contact you.
'Thank you again' Joanne Todd
We went to the Costa del Sol in July for a week to decide on a location to buy a holiday flat. We chose to use Flaxman Estates Marbella as my husband had been browsing their website while in the UK and they had a good selection of properties to view. By the end of the week, we had not only found the location but also the right flat and we had our offer accepted. This was all made possible by the efficiency of Julie, who listened to what we wanted and took us to the right properties. She has a wonderful no-nonsense approach when dealing with Spanish bureaucracy that made our experience of finding and buying a property in Spain so much easier.
'Highly recommended' Mike and Kathy Talbot
'To whoever may read this and be thinking about who to use when buying in Spain'. What can we say about Flaxman Estates Marbella? Julie and her team made the process so easy and understandable from our initial enquiry to picking up the keys to our beautiful new apartment in the Marbella Hills. They were attentive to detail, listened to what we wanted and offered impartial advice, and kept us grounded even when we kept changing the goalposts. Nothing was too much trouble, they were so patient, and understanding as it is a big step and often-scary experience for us to take that step and invest abroad. There was no pressure at any time, and Julie held our hand throughout the whole process including all our viewings, financial advisors, and introducing us to the solicitors (who were also fantastic in every way). Julie's first-hand experience and knowledge of the properties, developments, and the area is superb, and she is a true professional.
Would we recommend Flaxman Estates and use them again? We most certainly would!
