Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Medicaid hearing to air questionsBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
August 24. 2013 11:01PM
On Tuesday, the Commission to Study Expansion of Medicaid Eligibility will meet to hear stakeholders - read: health care providers - and the public.
After this meeting, Chairman Jim Varnum said, the commission should be able to begin drafting its recommendations, which have to be finalized by Oct. 15. Varnum said the committee will call back state officials and hear from other parties as its work on details proceeds.
The first stakeholder the commission is scheduled to hear is the NH Hospital Association's Henry Lipman of Lakes Region General Hospital.
Hospitals want Medicaid eligibility expanded under the Affordable Care Act. If the state decides to expand eligibility, health care providers - mostly hospitals - will receive $2.4 billion from the federal government over the next seven years.
While hospitals would actually do better if Medicaid were not expanded and those newly eligible under the ACA went onto private health insurance instead, the hospitals continue to push for the expansion.
Currently, the state's largest hospitals receive little state help covering the cost of treating patients who do not pay for care. There is about $40 million in state general fund money in the budget that can be used to match an equal amount of federal money to help hospitals with their uncompensated care costs.
But the federal Disproportionate Share Hospital program will disappear under the ACA as more people get health insurance. After the DSH program ends, the hospitals want to ensure they receive at least some money for the care they provide.
Opponents of expansion also view Tuesday's hearing as their chance to be heard. They claim the only anti-expansion expert to testify to date was at the commission's last meeting, when Christina Herrera of the Foundation for Government Accountability appeared.
"In my opinion, I don't think there is one good reason to expand Medicaid," Herrera told the commission. "I would work to make private insurance more affordable or stand pat on Medicaid."
Groups supporting expansion are also expected to turn out for the meeting, scheduled to run from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Other Shoe: When the Senate meets the day after Labor Day, Chuck Morse, R-Salem, will most likely take over the Senate president post.
Morse has lined up support from nearly all the Senate Republicans, who hold a 13-11 edge over Democrats in the body.
But with more than a week to go before the vote - a week can be a lifetime in politics - there is still time for political mischief.
The big unknown is what the Democrats will do. Are they willing to cut a deal with a Republican or two to forge an unholy alliance to control Senate leadership?
The smart money says the answer is no.
The Senate has taken a bit of a beating since Senate President Peter Bragdon announced two weeks ago he would become the Local Government Center's new executive director. The controversy grew, and by last Friday, Bragdon had announced he would step down as president.
Wednesday evening, the LGC released emails and other documents detailing Bragdon's pursuit of the job. There is nothing in what was released that could be a deal breaker for the LGC or Bragdon, and eventually life will go on.
Bragdon, who will remain District 11 senator, will probably have to recuse himself from some significant votes.

Looking for Help: Karen Testerman, who announced she is exploring a run for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate, sent an email around at the end of last week asking people to help her with her campaign.
"The America of today is weak and failing because bureaucracies in Washington restrict the choices of the individual thru punitive taxes, onerous rules and overreaching regulations. Washington is running amok. We need the will to refocus on the constitutional blueprint to restore liberty to you, the American people," she wrote.
If she receives 5,000 signatures from supporters on her website - DraftKaren.com - she will run, she said. Testerman also asks people to contribute $10 to her effort by becoming a "Founder of Karen."
"With your help we can make a difference," she wrote.
Testerman ran for governor in 2010, finishing third in the four-way Republican primary won by John Stephen.
Labor Day Breakfast: Gov. Maggie Hassan and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen will speak at the New Hampshire AFL-CIO 2013 Labor Breakfast on Sept. 2 at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Hanover Street, Manchester.
Also speaking will be State Labor Commissioner James Craig and Employment Security Commissioner George Copadis.
"Working men and women and middle-class families took the brunt of the recent economic recession, and many of the good jobs with living wages we lost during the downturn have not returned to New Hampshire," said NH AFL-CIO President Mark MacKenzie. "We use the tradition of Labor Day to honor the extraordinary contribution that ordinary working people make to New Hampshire's economic growth and the quality of life in our communities."
The breakfast begins at 9 a.m.

TQ4286 : From the City's Cemetery to The Greenway (3)
taken 7 years ago, near to Ilford, Redbridge, Great Britain
Walking can be a grave business :: TQ4285
Starting at The City of London Cemetery's Link South Gate I crossed into Forest View Road and made my way to Manor Park Cemetery. From there I made my way via Balmoral Road to Woodgrange Cemetery and then down to Plashet Jewish cemetery. Spotting West Ham's Boleyn Ground Link in the distance I made my way across Priory Park to the Barking Road. Spotting a genuine Rag and Bone Cart Link hared after it; and from there foxed through some traditional East End terraced roads to the old sewer pipe at Beckton Link now a designated walkway.

A review of Last Water on the Devil's Highway: A cultural and natural history of Tinajas Altas
Last Water on the Devil's Highway: A cultural and natural history of Tinajas Altas
Bill Broyles, Gayle Harrison Hartmann, Thomas E. Sheridan, Gary Paul Nabhan, Mary Charlotte Thurtle
240 pages, hardcover:
The University of Arizona Press, 2012.
Last Water on the Devil's Highway is the story of a waterhole that, for centuries, has kept travelers from death as they passed through the desert. Tinajas Altas, or "high tanks," is a series of potholes filled with murky, smelly water in extreme southwestern Arizona. It is not an oasis, but a waypoint for desperate travelers. Five authors chronicle the history and ecology of Tinajas Altas, from the days when Native Americans ground mesquite pods on the granite surrounding the water hole, to the Gold Rush, when the tinajas were a stopover on the infamous Camino del Diablo, a prospectors' trail from Mexico to California. Today, the desert around the waterhole is scarred by tire tracks and littered with trash left by undocumented immigrants, drug traffickers and the Border Patrol officers who try to catch them. But the silence, the scorching heat and the thirst that drive people to the spot continue.

Brian May's Guitar? Make It An SG
Brian May's Guitar? Make It An SG
I have always loved the SG, ever since a friend of mine at school, Woolly Hammerton, traded in his Telecaster for one, looking for a 'new sound' (which I think he found), and which I coveted deeply! Having one of the new models is almost as exciting as getting my hands on Woolly's!! Somehow the SG still looks perfect, feels perfect and smells perfect. Oh, and it still sounds pretty damn good! I'm just getting used to the new Min-ETune function, which is a great tool in the studio for quick alternative tunings, and opens up a whole new world of opportunities.
Enjoy it!!!
Rock it!!

Title: Woody Strong collection, 1988-1995
Creator: Strong, Woody
Extent: 1.0 Folders. More info below.
Arrangement: Chronological
Languages: English [eng]
Woody Strong received his bachelor of science degree in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 1940.
Strong was a businessman and an engineer, but he made his mark helping the poorest of the poor half a world away. Strong dedicated himself to bettering Nepal, the country between Tibet and India. He made 32 trips there in humanitarian efforts that produced nine schools, three health posts, two libraries and a 25- bed hospital. He shipped tons of books, medical supplies and clothes to the country every year. Through speeches and an infectious personality, he inspired hundreds of people to donate supplies and money to people they would never meet.
Motivation was his creed. Even his motto, printed on stickers and business cards, was a challenge: "Be a doer... not a talker."
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder called Strong a living Buddha. The Dalai Lama asked for a personal meeting. His true fans - the children, disabled and elderly of Nepal - may never know another like him.
Strong's tale began in 1972 on his first trip through Nepal. He was an electrical engineer from Denver, trekking through the Himalayas and falling in love with the country and its people. He saw the poverty and knew he could make a difference. He returned every year to help. When he wasn't there, he talked about Nepal to the extent that he jokingly cautioned people to avoid his home if they did not want to hear about the country.
His enthusiasm inspired a friend, Penny Lewis, to visit Nepal. She began traveling with him and his wife. Later, after both of their spouses died, they married and continued the trips.
In 1982, Strong met Sir Edmund Hillary, credited as the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Hillary had built 25 schools in Nepalese villages, which intrigued Strong. He asked how he could help. Hillary said the schools could use books. Strong collected and shipped 1,000 pounds of textbooks to Nepal. A year later, Nepal paid him back. Doctors diagnosed prostate cancer in 1983, giving Strong a year to live. He underwent chemotherapy and scheduled one last trip to say goodbye. Strong visited a Buddhist monastery near Mount Everest where a monk prayed over him for more than four hours and pronounced him healed. "He said, 'The gods have taken your cancer away, and you'll live to 108,'" Penny said. Later, Denver doctors confirmed the cancer was gone.
"We felt Nepal had given Woody his life back and we wanted to give back to Nepal," Penny said. Strong and his wife formed the Pennwood Charitable Foundation, raising money and supplies through talks to churches and civic groups. They moved from Denver to a log cabin near Lake George and stored supplies in two barns. They returned to Nepal twice a year to distribute the items, bring medical aid and open clinics and schools.
They raised $60,000 to help build a 25-bed rural tuberculosis hospital. Strong was supposed to lay the cornerstone but was too sick. The president of the Nepalese Congress and the former prime minister took his place. "His real love was the children," said Dr. Fred Feiler, a retired Colorado Springs orthopedic surgeon, who visited the region with Strong several times. "He often went to the crippled children's hospital in Kathmandu and adopted these deserted children. He would always say, 'What these kids need is not material things. They need someone to love them. They just got involved in their lives, and that made all the difference."

ISLAMORADA, Fla. (AP) — Fabien Cousteau comes from a famous family of filmmakers, advocates and ocean explorers, and now he's added to their legacy of sea stories a 31-day expedition at an underwater laboratory in the Florida Keys. Here are five things to know about Cousteau's "Mission 31," which ended Wednesday.
Cousteau and two technicians spent 31 days living and working underwater at Aquarius Reef Base. Filmmakers and researchers from Florida International University, Northeastern University and MIT also joined him for two-week-long stretches during the expedition.
The 460-square-foot pressurized lab sits 63 feet below the ocean's surface in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary with bunks for six. It's owned by the federal government and operated by Florida International. It allows its inhabitants to scuba dive for up to nine hours without needing to resurface or undergo decompression.
The crew dove June 1 to study the effects of climate change and pollution on a nearby coral reef. Researchers said they were able to gather up to two years' worth of data in just a few weeks because they were living underwater. Among other projects, they studied pollution on the reef, overfishing of predators and the effect on their prey. They also set up long-term monitoring equipment to study ocean acidification and coral probes that are the size of a human hair. In addition, they tested a camera that captures animal behavior in slow motion and a sonar device that collects data over a wide range of frequencies, thus increasing the amount of information it collects.
Cousteau is the grandson of ocean exploration pioneer Jacques Cousteau, who helped develop the advanced diving techniques used at Aquarius. "Mission 31" was conceived as a nod to Conshelf II, a 30-day underwater living experiment in the Red Sea that the elder Cousteau filmed for his Oscar-winning documentary "World Without Sun." The crew watched the documentary while undergoing decompression for roughly 16 hours before resurfacing.
Cousteau said a multitude of marine life appeared around the lab: starfish, plankton, a hammerhead shark and other reef sharks, a Goliath grouper that attacked a barracuda, pork fish, tarpon, spotted eagle rays, snook, manta shrimp, eels, octopus and sponges.

i don't think the jets can afford everything in your plan.
1) Keep Rex-- His love and loyalty to certain players baffles me (suckchez, e. smith, bart scott) but he is a great defensive mind and I dont want to start over. Rex stays.
2) tannenbaum goes-- way too many mistakes..suckchez being the biggest.
3) suckhez and tebow both go......this is a no brainer.
4) bring in Norv turner as off. cord. and trade a 2nd for Phillip Rivers....yes both have their issues, but when was last time Jets had a qb with rivers ability? he needs a new start and I would love to see him and norv here in green n white. not to mention...what other options do we have...flynn, vick etc....F-no!!!
5) all old slow defensive players must go....bart done, eric smith done. b. thomas done. etc. youth must prevail on defense.
Revis back with Cromartie....wilkerson and coples both becoming beasts on d line....harris at inside lb with some speed and youth on outside.
Rivers and norv bringing their offense to match up with keller, holmes,hill, maybe braylon....and a good running game....
plus draft and free agency...
i would be excited going into 13 if this happened and I dont think it is far fetched.
go ahead tear me up!!
i don't think the jets can afford everything in your plan.
Rivers has just as many turnovers as your boy suckchez in Norv Turner's offense no less. What's the point in that?
No thanks to Rivers, the wheels are almost off on this guy.
Philip Rivers Quarterback 8/24/2009: Signed a seven-year, $98.25 million contract. The deal contains $38.15 million guaranteed, including a $19.55 million signing bonus, Rivers' 2009-2010 base salaries, and a second-year option bonus of $6 million. $6 million of Rivers' 2011 salary is guaranteed for injury, but not skill or performance. 2012: $10.2 million, 2013: $12 million, 2014: $13.8 million, 2015: $15.75 million, 2016: Free Agent
rex has stayed with sanchez waaay too long...but he is a great defensive coach who is learning to be a better head coach....who else would u want? be specific.
Rivers needs a new home plain and simple. suckchez couldnt carry his jock strap....end of that story.
Disagree on bringing in those two Charger choke artists
And NO peeing away ANY more draft picks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Rivers is a nut job and why would SD just give up for a #2.
How is Revis progressing? Not a word. Is he working as hard as Adrian Peterson? Doubt it. Cut. Untradable.
Sanchez. Cut. Untradable. Keep Tebow as #2.
Let's not get crazy on Wilkerson and Coples being "beasts". They are usable players, hardly stars.
The Jets are in very bad shape talent wise. Need OL (2), WR, RB, DL, LB (2)
And next years schedule is not a cupcake like this years.
2) revis could easily be traded....easily.
3) tebow must go with sanchez....no question whatsoever.
4) wilkerson is a beast....coples has the ability to be one with year under his belt.
5) lets not do anything because the schedule is tough??? duh.
I stopped reading here. This plan sucks.1) Keep Rex
Darren Sharper said the Jets are the most dysfunctional and undisciplined team in the NFL. He said that all starts with the HC.
Heath Evans said Wrecks is a "players coach". He then said no player's coach ever won anything in the NFL, and never will. Said there is no accountability on the Jets whatsoever and that come from the HC.
Interesting comments to say the least.
JI offseason plan:
1) Cut DFAIL

At my university, on our first year we study discreet math I-II and analysis I-II (progressive math). This is the base of everything. For example, you won't understand sound synthetizing, or even electronics without understanding Furier transformations. Then we study probability theory, cuz it is the base of information theory. We study formal languages too, then algorithm theory. It is essential to programming. For example, you won't understand why the GOTO statement is considered harmful, if you don't understand algorithm theory .
And of course there are those fields where mathematics is the base of everything, for example in 3D graphics. So I think that math is pretty important (though not the most important) in hacking.

Like I said before, what's good about calculus and upper level math isn't always the specific topics that are taught. The classes also teach you new ways to solve and approach problems, and developing these skills is key to being a good hacker. Abstract thinking is something very hard to learn on your own and can really only be mastered through lots of practice. That's why a class is the ideal environment. Don't get me wrong, the skills can be developed outside of a math class but they can prove much more effectively and efficiently learned through schooling.

Northlane is the living proof that music from Down Under is beyond any doubt. With their technical sound, which has been established with the debut DISCOVERIES, and found its new form on SINGULARITY. Within a few years the band showed everybody that they are one of the big players in the game. Tours around the globe and the participation at the Tour Of The Year finally brought the breakthrough. Right now we are waiting for NODE, which will be released via UNFD. The first singles "Rot" and "Ra" made us curious for more!
At the moment you can't go to a show without seeing Northlane merch. The guys are are likeable and charismatic, so no wonder people are showing their love for the tech aussies. The bandshirts have a unique psychedelic design and even if you are not aware of the music background, you will enjoy the t-shirt designs. Here in Europes biggest Northlane shop we have everythign you desire. How about a Northlane T-Shirt, Hoodie, Zipper or even a girlie?
Right now the world waits for NODE, which will bring the guys of Northlane to a new leve. In before it was not clear, if the band will be able to produce a new record after SINGULARITY. Vocalist Adrian Fitipaldes had to leave the band out of health concerns and after that the band was missing a vocalist. After a vocal contest the band managed to find Markus Bridge as a replacement for Adrian.
The band is sharing the stage with big names like Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember and Parkway Drive.

The classic black rectangle has shed its dark coat for a range of white Moleskine notebooks, which are now available on official Moleskine e-stores.
In complete contrast to black with an absence of color, white often acts as the base on which ideas are built, personalities are expressed, concepts conveyed. It's a universal tone that plays a crucial part in the palette of many artists.
Great works have been created on white, such as The White Album by The Beatles, so called because the sleeve features no title, just an embossing of the band's name. The White on White canvases of Suprematist painter Kazimir Malevich are simple yet powerful examples of modern art. White has also had an impact on architecture: Le Corbusier's vision for modern living is embodied in his iconic white structures which went on to inspire a whole movement.
And today many digital devices are designed as white rectangles, which the white Moleskine notebook sits next to quite comfortably. A white elastic band runs along the side, and a white bookmark ribbon waits among ivory pages.
Do you have a favorite white item that you always use, wear or carry around? Upload it to myMoleskine with the hashtag #favoritewhite.
Bring your ideas into the light. The Moleskine white notebook is your blank canvas.

The Third Secret and Pope - May 13, 2000
From Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Vatican
Text of The Third Secret of Fatima
VATICAN CITY, JUN 26, 2000 (VIS) - Given below is the complete translation of the original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of Fatima, revealed to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria-Fatima on July 13, 1917, and committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:
"I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

The Reign of Antichrist - Book
John 1:32-34. And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him. And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw: and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God.

Catholic Prophecy
the sixth period of the Church will begin the powerful Monarch and the Holy
Pontiff, as mentioned previously, and it will last until the revelation of Antichrist.
In this period, God will console His Holy Church for the affliction and great
tribulation which she has endured during the fifth period. All nations will
become Catholic. Vocations will be abundant as never before, and all men will
seek only the Kingdom of God and His justice. Men will live in peace, and this
will be granted because people will make their peace with God. They will live
under the protection of the Great Monarch and his successors.

News: Faith
Pope Benedict XVI's Address at the End of the Way of the Cross
"Dear friends: After having lived together the passion of Jesus, let us this night allow his sacrifice on the cross to question us. Let us permit him to challenge our human certainties. Let us open our hearts. Jesus is the truth that makes us free to love. Let us not be afraid: upon dying, the Lord destroyed sin and saved sinners, that is, all of us. The Apostle Peter writes: 'He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness' (1 Peter 2:24). This is the truth of Good Friday: On the cross, the Redeemer has made us adoptive sons of God who he created in his image and likeness. Let us remain, then, in adoration before the cross."

From: http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=2176562005
THE uncanny ability of blind people to "sense" unseen objects has been demonstrated for the first time in sighted volunteers whose vision was blanked out by scientists.
The findings suggest "blindsight", which has been observed in blind people whose eyes function normally but who have suffered damage to the brain's visual centre, is a real and not imagined phenomenon.
In tests, the blind have been able to distinguish basic shapes of objects they cannot see, as well as their orientation and direction of motion. On other occasions a blind person has reported experiencing a "feeling" that an object is present, while not being able to see it.
A number of theories have been proposed to explain "blindsight". Generally, it is suggested that other parts of the brain besides the primary visual cortex respond to nerve messages from the eyes at an unconscious level.
Scientists from the University of Houston in Texas, temporarily blinded a group of 12 volunteers by using an
electromagnetic field to shut down the primary visual cortex. Images were then flashed in front of them on a screen.
In one experiment, volunteers were shown either a horizontal or vertical bar. In another, a red or green dot appeared.
Most of the time, the volunteers were unaware of the images with which they were presented. But they guessed either the orientation of the bar or the colour of the dot correctly more often than would have been expected by the law of averages.
The researchers wrote in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: "Despite unawareness of these 'targets', performance on forced-choice discrimination tasks for orientation and colour were both significantly above chance."
They said the findings suggested that a visual pathway bypassing the primary visual cortex must be responsible for "blindsight".

Well, so much for the olive branch.
Last week, analysts and pundits (including yours truly) were convinced that President Obama had signaled a clear path to compromise on taxes. Although he insisted on squeezing high-income Americans for more tax dollars, he was no longer obsessed with the idea of ending their Bush-era tax cuts. The middle ground -- or rather, the left-of-center meeting point -- would be an overhaul of the tax code that reduced the deductions, exemptions, credits and preferences for the wealthy while leaving rates intact. In fact, considering the recommendations from the likes of the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction commission, the feds could collect more from the wealthy while lowering marginal rates.
That appears to have been wishful thinking. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner started the flow of cold water Tuesday, telling corporate executives at a Wall Street Journal conference that Obama wasn't prepared to extend the tax cuts for the top 2%. "When you take a cold hard look at the amount of resources you can raise from that top 2% of Americans from limiting deductions, you will find yourself disappointed to the relative magnitude of the revenues we need," Geithner said, according to the Journal's Damian Paletta.
But that was just Geithner, right? And he's on his way out. So what does he know?

The safest place to store your cherished mementos is an interior closet with some form of climate control.
What do I mean by climate control? Well, archival repositories have very specific parameters for temperature and humidity* but let's be practical (it is, after all, what I'm known for).
When I say climate control I mean a space that:
- is air conditioned in the summer
- is heated in the winter
- and doesn't feel noticeably damp.
1. High humidity encourages mold and mildew and increases the rate of deterioration.
2. Fluctuating humidity causes paper (including photographic prints) to swell and shrink. Each cycle causes stress, and years of it will cause photos to crack because the emulsion layer and the binder layer do not expand and contract to the same degree as the paper backing.
3. High temperature levels speed up the rate of chemical reactions, and lots of deterioration is caused by chemical reactions. Here's a sobering thought: The rate of decay doubles with each increase in temperature of 18 degrees. Doubles! span>Keep your treasures out of the attic, folks.
4. Insects and pests are more common in basements, attics and garages. No only can they eat your treasures, the bigger (furrier) critters might use it for bedding or leave behind very unpleasant surprises. Ick.
One more tip: Never store your treasures in direct sunlight. UV rays will bleach out the color and fade text and images. Fortunately, two dimensional items like photographs and paper ephemera are easy to copy these days. Create a new copy for display and keep the original in the dark. Or use Plexiglas with an anti UV coating in your frames.
*For those of you who really want to know the numbers, here are the recommendations for most photographs: Temperature of 68 F and relative humidity of 30-40%. Now you know.

Reports spreading across the web that Intel Macs can't boot Windows XP might be inaccurate. Intel Australia, while being careful not to comment on Apple's hardware specifically, says motherboards based on the Intel 945 chipset already support EFI and can boot Windows with no problems. The key appears to be whether Apple has included a "compatibility support module". Explored in more depth in this article at APC Magazine.

Tsendze, the Tsonga word for 'tsendzeleka' or 'to ramble around like someone lost in the bush' is the newest accommodation addition to the Kruger National Park. As its name implies, it provides a rustic experience within the natural environment. Located approximately 7 km south of Mopani Rest Camp, the campsites are laid out in a rough figure of eight under and around stands of ancient and beautiful Leadwood, Mopane and Apple Leaf trees. Two prominent seasonal water courses, the Tsendze River and Nshawu Creek, run through this area that is known for the large buffalo herds and many elephant bulls that occur here. Guests can look out for 'Alexander', a current big tusker with rather impressive ivory, who is often encountered in the area and along the main tarred route between Tsendze and Mopani Rest Camp. With its abundance of large trees in the camp, Tsendze offers great birding opportunities right around your very campsite.

Hi Ladies,
I haven't posted since my son was .. gosh, maybe 6 months? I have had ALOT of support from you ladies, and wouldn't have made it this far without LLL.
My son just got over a virus and has been nursing like crazy, understandably so, well a few days ago I noticed I woke up with a bit of soreness from my left breast. I honestly thought i slept on it wrong. Another day went by, and I've started to get paranoid.. i've been feeling around and I know this sounds goofy but i'm not sure if i'm feeling a lump or a small hard ball at times.. nor can I really tell if it's moveable or not... yes, I am going to call about it, but before I lose another night of sleep over this, any insight would be helpful!!! I'm always thinking the worst (breast cancer, i'm one who panics over anything). **also have to add that his favorite breast to nurse/comfort nurse on is the breast that is "infected"
While i'm here, I feel like my son is one in a billion who doesn't sleep throughout the night.. he has had problems since he was 4 months old and his peds seem to think it's his constant ear infections, or his reflux... his only symptom is squirming at night and i have to have my arm under his back.. his usual pattern of sleep is waking up every 3 to 4 hours.. this isn't normal, we've tried every and all sorts of reflux meds and we will see a gi doc soon, but i'm just so curious to see, does this sound familiar with anyone? Can anyone here relate at all? He's 15 months going on 16 months on wednesday.
thanks a bunch everyone!!!!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The party of Puerto Rico's governor is pushing for a constitutional assembly to help resolve the U.S. territory's political status.
Members of the Popular Democratic Party expect to debate the issue Sunday at their annual convention.
The proposal states that a constitutional assembly should be held if President Barack Obama's administration does not present a Congress-approved measure to resolve the status within a year.
The White House is seeking $2.5 million to finance a future plebiscite that the U.S. attorney general would have to approve before it goes to voters. The announcement earlier this year followed disagreements about the results of a nonbinding, two-part referendum held in November.
Puerto Rico also held nonbinding referendums in 1967, 1993 and 1998, with statehood never garnering a clear majority.

"Sunday Reflection" is a regular feature, looking at the specific readings used in today's Mass in Catholic parishes around the world. The reflection represents only my own point of view, intended to help prepare myself for the Lord's day and perhaps spark a meaningful discussion. Previous Sunday Reflections from the main page can be found here. For previous Green Room entries, click here.
This morning's Gospel reading is John 20:19–31
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.
Earlier today, Pope Francis canonized two of his more recent predecessors, Popes John XXIII and John Paul II. They join in the canon of saints whose life stories of heroic sanctity inspire Catholics and other Christians around the world to greater holiness. One of the more common misconceptions about recognized saints in the Catholic practice is that sainthood requires a life without error or doubt, but even a quick read of some of their life stories dispels that myth rather quickly. St. Augustine of Hippo, one of the doctors of the Church and a towering figure in Christianity, was so addicted to earthly pleasure that he kept delaying his conversion. Jesus Christ Himself is our model of perfect love and worship for God, but the saints teach us much about the human struggle to achieve it.
Saint Thomas' story in the Gospels provides us with a story of failure that mirrors a universal human response to the challenge of faith itself. Who hasn't been a "doubting Thomas" at some (perhaps many) stages in our own lives? It is the struggle of faith against the limitations of human reason, the struggle of faith against hopelessness, and the human failing to reject faith in favor of the limitation of our own experience.
It's not difficult to understand why Thomas remains skeptical in this instance, either. Jesus had been crucified and buried, which would have given most people plenty of reason to consider the movement over. Hearing that a man killed in that matter had returned to life would produce at least a desire for some evidence of the claim from most of us.
On the other hand, this was no ordinary claim, nor an ordinary group. Thomas had seen Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, and had heard Jesus teach about the need for His death and resurrection to complete his mission. Plus, the other disciples offered their own unanimous testimony to the one man in Jerusalem who should have been relatively easy to evangelize. Thomas rejected all of them, and rejected faith as well. Instead, Thomas demanded that Jesus re-present Himself for inspection before Thomas would give his faith to Jesus.
In short, he wanted to test God, to know rather than believe. This is no different than the Israelites in the desert who kept balking at Moses after the Exodus, or to the Pharisees and Sadducees in Jerusalem in the New Testament who repeatedly tried to test Jesus in a similar manner. Satan tempted Jesus to fail in the same sin during the Temptation in the Desert, challenging Jesus to test God by hurling himself off the mountain and forcing God to send angels to save him. Jesus rebuked Satan, saying, "Again it is written, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test."
Yet, Jesus does not abandon Thomas for his unbelief or for Thomas' attempt to put Jesus to the test. Rather, He returns again when Thomas is among the disciples in order to correct Thomas. Jesus does scold Thomas and reminds him that the true communion with God is through voluntary belief — but Thomas, rebuked, is also forgiven and brought back into the fold. This to me epitomizes Jesus as shepherd of His flock, especially with those who will shortly go out into the world. Almost all of them had abandoned Him at some time during the Passion, and yet all return to Jesus afterward. Even Thomas, who ends up getting dragged back to faith, is restored to the love of Christ. Almost one by one, Jesus brings them back, just like any good shepherd whose lamb has strayed.
Thomas, as it happens, has quite a life ahead in service to Christ. He travels the farthest, perhaps, of any of the disciples. Thomas ends up in India, where his conversion created a community of Christians that exist to this day. Our family sponsors a Christian family in Kerala, near where Thomas landed and evangelized. Thomas was martyred there according to some traditions (others have him dying a natural death), but his life of heroic sanctity and devotion to Christ in spreading the Gospel makes Thomas an obvious choice as a saint, despite his enduring reputation for doubt based on a single episode between the Resurrection and Pentecost.
So, perhaps that reputation is more than a little unfair — but that prompts another question: Why did John include it in the Gospel? For that matter, why do all four Gospels include the story of Peter denying Christ three times during the Passion? In all four accounts, no other disciple was with Peter, so Peter himself has to be the source, or at the very least approving of the inclusion of this account in the Gospel taught in the earliest days of the Church. Why include stories that make the Apostles look weak, frightened, unbelieving, and even arguably paints them as apostates?
They included these stories because the Gospels speak to us as we are, in all stages of our lives. We see ourselves in these episodes, and we see the Apostles as fully human and frail, just as we all are. These Gospel stories remind us that faith isn't a one-time simple binary choice, but a life full of daily choices to believe and have faith. We stumble, we doubt, we may even lose courage and try to go with the flow rather than take the risk to live our faith in the public square. Jesus will wait patiently for us to find our way back to Him, and even find His way back to us when we need it. The saints who brought us the Gospel humbled themselves to ensure that we understood, even two millenia later.
The stories of all the saints are filled with these kinds of stumbles, failures, and doubts. The saints, starting with Peter and Thomas and working all the way to John XXIII and John Paul II, don't lecture us on perfection. The saints beckon us to become their brothers and sisters, and to take heart in their struggles as we deal with our own. They remind us of the enduring love of God and our status as ever-prodigal sons and daughters, with our Father waiting for us to find our way home so that He can include us in the eternal celebration of His love.

I'm really excited for this one :3 Gonzo always makes unique shows. Even Zettai Boei Leviatan is good in it's own weird way lol
But I think Dog & Scissors will be good in the normal, enjoyable way, plus it's got a really nice cast to go along with it. I'm wondering where the crappy CG is gonna be placed in this show...
I think I might look into it once the episodes come flowing in.
I love you Miichan, Takamina, Sasshi & Nako! (^_^)/
gonzo animation hmm...
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Gonzo...i probably will give this a try but the heroine kinda scares me lol
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
I'm completely terrified of dachshunds.
There was one on my paper route that terrorized me when I was a kid...
Definitely going to be giving this a shot!
Side note: There is nothing wrong with this thread. It is not going to be locked and closed until the anime is released. Please do not post spoilers if you have read the Light Novel.
Having never heard of this show except from the few PVs we've gotten, I'm curious how the guy reincarnating back as a dog has to do with that girl with the giant sword gun thing lol
What even
Aww,,, Dang... I created a disscussion thread for the show and it got locked... Oh Well... It's because I was late in making it... xD
But still I can't wait for the show. The makes my blood boil because it's so dang interesting... I want to see what kind of person Yuuko's twin is like...
Feeling too lazy to go after Nico atm... :( ill try later on...
Dogs? Scissors? Okay. When I didn't see info on what this show was about I assumed the girl had the scissors to neuter the dog But having read it now I just might watch.
Just finished watching the first episode. Pretty funny stuff.
Episode 1(contains spoilers)
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
That OP song is very funny and so was the dog lol. I didn't expect violence though but was pleasant to watch. I also spotted a 007 reference there around the middle of the episode. Kirihime is a really cool girl though! I thought she looks good without clothes on but she also has great skills with those scissors imo. Poor dog/Kazuhito though.
Anyways, pretty amusing episode. I'll stick with this.
A screen shot from episode 1:

Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Well that was a lot lower than my expectations. The episode was only ok if you ask me, seeing as i didn't laugh or really enjoy it. I will probably continue on it for now though. 5/10 maybe.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
It's my Japanese book collection! LOL
Seriously I admire his desire to read, I have it myself lately! And his need to read the next novel of his favorite author!
The rest of the show is pretty off the wall. Not sure if it will click with me or not, or where it is going or why I'd need to keep watching but we shall see. Interesting for sure!
For a show with just 12 episodes it seems we haven't even finished the introduction yet. Lots of characters to meet yet.
I get the feeling that scissors are going to become the new eye patch. First Mysterious Girlfriend X and now this.
Not that I'm complaining, the first episode has me hooked.
The dog's facial expressions saved the episode for me. >.>
I liked it. I find myself wanting to know where it will go. Like others, I admire the protagonist. He loves to read and gave his life for a stranger.

What is asked of parishes is also asked of us as individuals. As Orthodox Christians, we are employed in many occupations, businesses, professions, and jobs through which we earn our livelihood. This Congress [Clergy-Laity Congress, 1972] challenges every Orthodox Christian to examine himself and to ask if there is a fudamental harmony between his faith and his work. Integrity is needed here also. The choice of our work; how it influences the world about us; how it expresses our commitment to Christ and His Church; the opportunities it provides us with to work for a more Christlike society, are questions which each individual Greek Orthodox Christian must ask of himself. Sincere faith will lead some of us to recognize that our daily work can be harmonized with our Orthodox Christian commitment. Others of us will see new ways to change our work patterns so that the spiritual and ethical dimensions and opportunities of our employment can be enhanced. Many of us will see how our Christian witness can be embodied and made more clear and strong through our work. The message of Astronaut James Irwin to this Congress is a perfect example which this Congress commends to all of our Orthodox faithful. Those in the professions are especially charged with this responsibility. The physician, attorney, journalist, educator, communications specialist, consultant, and elected official must never forget that they are first of all sons and daughters of God, servants of the Lord Jesus Christ and responsible members of His Holy Orthodox Church. Above all, the clergyman must never forget the requirement that he is to be, in both work and deed, the exemplar for the faithful.
Harakas, Stanley S. Let Mercy Abound (Brookline, MA: Holy Cross Orthodox Press, 1983), 133-134.

See it at the Movies
* * ½
(Depressing, violent drama)
A great cast fights their way through this depressing, violent tale of a bunch of losers in a Pennsylvania mining town.
Christian Bale plays Russell Blaze, a struggling steel mill worker who is down on his luck, losing his girlfriend to the local cop (Forest Whittaker), caring for his dying father, and trying to save his brother (Casey Affleck) from the bad guys he owes money to.
Woody Harrelson plays the baddest of the bad guys. We get to know just how bad in the opening scene at a drive-in, where he pummels a guy to near death after beating up his girlfriend.
Russell does a short prison term for DUI, getting out in time to get deeply involved in trying to save his brother, who tries to repay some big debts to a New Jersey mobster by competing in brutal bare fist fights. It all comes down to a revenge movie with the big showdown and more violence than necessary.
Rated a big R because of the profanity and violence.

Like cats and dogs, Florida politicians from opposing parties rarely play nicely.
They scratch, claw and hiss at each other, simply because it's in their DNA.
That's why it's strange to see so many ideological opponents embracing each other nowadays. We have uber-liberal Corrine Brown making a point — and hard-core Republicans nodding their heads in agreement.
And what issue, pray tell, could be significant enough to make sworn enemies unite?
Protecting their own rear ends; that's what.
And cheating you out of fair elections.
The issue is fair districts.
Later this year, Florida residents are slated to vote on whether they want to end gerrymandering in this state.
Politicians hate the idea. They like drawing districts around their own homes and stocking them with enough like-minded voters to keep them and their friends in office.
The last thing these guys want is a level playing field.
That's why Brown is screaming bloody murder — and why die-hard Republicans like Dean Cannon and Mike Haridopolos are nodding empathetically, talking about maybe even going to court to stop you, the voters, from having a say.
It's happened before. The last time this was proposed, legislative leaders were willing to spend $50,000 on court costs.
The amendment itself is pretty simple. It essentially says that lawmakers have to draw legislative and congressional districts that make sense. Districts would have to be "compact," "as equal in population as feasible" and, most important, "may not be drawn to favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party."
No more splitting a neighborhood in two, just to keep an incumbent in office. No more having your "hometown" Congressman live three hours away.
Theoretically, serpentine districts like Brown's — which starts in Jacksonville and slithers all the way down to Orlando — would become a thing of the past.
But Brown is not alone.
In fact, one of the biggest con jobs in Florida politics is that Republicans have convinced many Floridians — and much of the lazy media — that Brown is the prime beneficiary of this gerrymandering.
She is not.
Republicans were thrilled to dump tons of Democrats into Brown's district because it left more GOP voters for them.
They gave Brown a district where she had a 40-point party advantage, so that they could give themselves five districts with a five-, six- or seven-point lead.
When the Republican lawmakers finished slicing and dicing Central Florida, there were five districts that favored Republicans and only one that favored Dems — even though the region was pretty evenly split between the parties.
Democrats did the same thing back when they ran the show.
Hackery knows no party lines.
And Brown's unwieldy district is not unique.
Take Republican John Mica. His district starts more than 120 miles north in St. Johns County. It stretches just far enough south to take in his tony neighborhood in Winter Park.
Then there's Ginny Brown-Waite. Back in 2000, Republicans were sick of Democrats winning that seat. So they redrew the district lines to exclude Dems and bring in Republicans. The result is a mess of a district — one that stretches through eight counties and covers more than 250 miles. But it's solidly Republican.
The examples go on and on. Alan Grayson's "Orlando" district now reaches into Marion County. Cliff Stearns' includes 24 cities and goes from Leesburg to north of Jacksonville. Former House Speaker Tom Feeney drew one around his own house — and then won it.
The result of this precise drawing was evident in 2004 when not a single legislative or congressional incumbent in this state lost an election.
Instead of voters picking their politicians, the politicians were choosing their voters.
The latest defense of this practice came this week in Tallahassee. Brown and South Florida Republican Mario Diaz-Balart claimed minorities would be hurt by fair districts, even though the amendment specifically says no such thing will happen.
These politicians obviously can't help themselves.
In fact, to get back to our original analogy, many of these politicians want to continue their dog-like behavior.
They've already "marked" their territory. And they don't want anyone to clean up the mess.

He posted three videos of Dodger prospects on Christmas Day -- Onelki Garcia, Joc Pederson and Chris Reed.
Garcia (YouTube link)
- The first half of Garcia's delivery is relatively smooth -- no funk, no pauses, no surprises. The second half (the release) is a little strange. Garcia doesn't bend his back much when he releases, thus making it look like he's pushing the ball toward the plate. His release appears to be a high three-quarters arm slot, as there aren't many true over-the-top left-handers in baseball.
- I saw Pederson live in June and was impressed by him. In this video, he looks a lot better at the plate, despite only having a handful of at-bats at Double-A (that will change in 2013). It looks like he's holding his hands a little higher and the bat pointed more toward the pitcher rather than straight up in the air (compare the photo below to the 0:06 and 0:14 mark) earlier in his stance. This video is from September, so a lot could have changed in three months for the young hitting prospect. Not sure if it contributed to his increase in power, but it's interesting nonetheless.
- Reed has a somewhat herky-jerky delivery, something he said he worked on throughout the season. It starts out well enough, but the herk and jerk comes in when his back leg breaks down and he pushes off the rubber to deliver the pitch. His release point is a traditional three-quarters.
It's always nice to see video of guys who aren't local to California. Garcia pitched all of one game for Rancho Cucamonga late in the season, which I wasn't able to see. I also wasn't able to see Reed pitch live in the three games I saw the Quakes this season.
These three are firmly entrenched among my Dodgers' Top 10 prospects list (though, I'm not the biggest Reed fan). It'd be a surprise if they aren't in everyone's Top 10 list this winter.

Fitness is like a drug; each person needs a different dose. But if you're time-pressed you can still benefit from the bare minimum: a one-minute burst of movement.
"A quick pump up -- something like a jumping jack -- is an all-over body workout that can get you over the low slump in the day," said personal trainer and fitness expert Tracey Mallett, who includes one-minute cardio intervals in her book "Sexy in 6" (Lifelong, $17.95).
Sadly, one measly 60-second workout won't blast you into shape. It can, however, quickly boost energy levels, refocus your attention and increase your blood flow. String four one-minute exercises together -- one lower body, one upper body, one core and one cardio -- and you've got a decent full-body workout, said Karen Rzesutko, co-founder of Chicago-based Escape 2 Fitness, which provides in-home and office health and fitness services.
Try these exercises, modeled by Rzesutko, for at least one minute:
Work your butt muscles or glutes by running up stairs, pumping your arms. Walk down. To make it harder, try going up sideways or two stairs at a time, said Rzesutko.
If you want a strong core -- the foundation for everything -- exercise your pelvic floor muscles. To find them, squeeze the muscles that you use to hold in urine and gas. Try to hold the contraction for a count of five. Repeat five to six sets of 10 holds a day. Do them every time you wash you hands, feed or change a baby, wait for an elevator, or sit through a red light.
Lunges, which work the hips, core and lower legs, are to women what squats are to men, says personal trainer and massage therapist Mark Villa. To lunge, slowly step backward with one leg in the lunge position, bending both knees and lowering your hips so that the forward thigh is parallel with the floor. The front knee should be vertically above the foot and ankle. Return to the starting position. To modify, lunge, then twist to one side. Or hook your back foot on a chair.
To strengthen your transverse abdominus, lie on your stomach with your palms on the floor. Keep your elbows close to your sides and hands directly under your shoulders. Lift into pushup position, keeping torso and legs stiff. Hold for one minute. For variations, bring your knees to your chest while in plank position, jack the legs in and out or take turns lifting each foot, said Rzesutko.
In addition to strengthening the core, push-ups develop the pectoral muscles and triceps. Get in plank position with your feet together. Lower down toward the floor and push back up. If it's too hard, spread your feet about 6 inches apart or lower our knees to the floor. To make it harder, put your feet on a chair. To make it easier, do a wall push-up.
Scale tip
Raise your arms overhead, stand on one leg and tip to a forward position so the back leg and the hands make a parallel line to the floor. The scale tip or "seesaw" requires both concentration and stability. It tones the lower back, abdominals, hips and thighs. You can also do this holding an exercise ball.
Close your eyes
In many one-minute exercises, you can improve your balance and core stabilization muscles simply by shutting your eyes. Try to balance on one leg while moving the other leg in circles, said Rzesutko.
Chair squats
Stand up just as you're about to sit in your chair.
Arm circles
Remember doing arm circles in elementary school? They work the whole shoulder "girdle" and are a killer after one minute. Start by making small circular motions with both arms on either side. After a few repetitions of small circles, enlarge your circles and do the same number of reps.
Jump rope
Jumping and turning the rope uses muscles in both your upper and lower body, according to Martin Winkler, author of "RopeSport" (Wiley, $14.95). Averaging 120 jumps or rotations a minute is a moderate beginner pace. Do either a boxer's shuffle or two-footed jump; stay on the balls of your feet with your elbows by your side.
One of the top exercises to do at home, says Andy Petranek, owner of Crossfit L.A., a strength and conditioning system. Lie on your back with your fingers laced behind your head. Bring one knee in toward your chest while lifting your shoulder blades off the ground. The other leg should be extended straight, and lifted off the ground, simultaneously. Bring the left elbow toward the right knee (by lifting and slightly rotating your torso), while extending the left leg straight. Alternate sides.
The hydrant
To work your glutes, get on all fours and shoot your leg out directly to the side, as if you were karate-kicking someone who was next to you, said Hollywood fitness trainer Eric Fleishman, known as "Eric the Trainer." A bonus: "The closer the knee remains to the corresponding shoulder, the more this movement helps whittle down your waist," said Fleishman, whose television show on the WB network debuts in January.

Beware the Bako
Looks like Paul Bako will be making his glorious return to the Cubs.
Paul Bako, a left-handed hitter, is expected to sign a one-year deal for about $500,000. The Cubs don't want a No. 2 catcher who costs much or expects to play a lot. Bako certainly fills the bill. Chicago Tribune.
Bako's return makes a Henry Blanco sandwich, where Henry's the meat. Think about it. You'll get it.

STOCKTON - A 19-year-old man had multiple gunshot wounds after gunfire erupted outside a party in north Stockton early Saturday, authorities said.
STOCKTON - A 19-year-old man had multiple gunshot wounds after gunfire erupted outside a party in north Stockton early Saturday, authorities said.
The victim told officers he and his friends were attending a party near Patti Lynn and Jayden ways about 1:10 a.m. when they were approached by another group of men. One of the men opened fire on the victim and his friends, striking the victim several times in his lower legs, police said.
The victim was taken a hospital for treatment, authorities said. The victim's friends were uncooperative and could not provide a description of the assailants, police said.
One of the victim's friends, 22-year-old Luis Paredes, became angry with his own friends and attempted to fight them, authorities said. Paredes was taken to the ground by officers and arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, police said.
STOCKTON - A 42-year-old man was beaten and stabbed when he was attacked by his ex-wife's boyfriend in central Stockton on Friday night, authorities said.
The victim was near El Monte Street and North Pershing Avenue about 9:35 p.m. when he was approached by a man who police identified as 53-year-old Donald Salter.
Salter punched the victim several times and cut him twice before fleeing the area in a white 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, license plate No. 4PAM006, police said.
Salter was described as a black man, 6 feet tall and 180 pounds with brown eyes and black hair, authorities said.
STOCKTON - A man was struck by gunfire after shots rang out in south Stockton late Friday, police said.
The 25-year-old victim was walking near East 8th Street and South Airport Way about 10:30 p.m. when he heard multiple gunshots, authorities said. The man felt pain in his leg and realized he had been shot, officers said.
A passing motorist stopped and gave the victim a ride to a hospital, where he was treated for a non-life-threatening injury, police said. The victim did not see the shooter, and police were unable to locate witnesses, authorities said.
MANTECA - The Manteca Police Department released few details of its investigation after arresting a man for sex crimes Saturday.
Dereck Landry, 20, was arrested on suspicion of torture, rape, kidnapping, unlawful intercourse with a minor, battery with serious bodily injury, corporal injury to a child and other crimes, jail records showed. Landry was being held at the San Joaquin County Jail in lieu of $918,000 bail.
The 17-year-old victim knew Landry prior to the sexual assault, but it is not believed to be a case of statutory rape, Sgt. Bryan Holland said.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- State Sen. George Latimer, a Democrat from Rye, has entered the race for Westchester County executive.
Latimer said he will challenge County Legislator Kenneth Jenkins of Yonkers for the Democratic nomination for the top county elective post at the party's May 10 convention in White Plains. But Latimer said he will not force a September primary if he is not selected as the Democratic candidate.
The nominee would face two-term incumbent Rob Astorino, a Republican, in the November election.
Latimer said he's been encouraged to run by Democratic Party leaders and locally-elected Democrats including County Legislator Catherine Parker of Rye and Mamaroneck Councilman Tom Murphy.
Latimer, a former county legislator and state Assemblyman, said he is very concerned about the long-term fiscal condition of Westchester County.
He declined to discuss expected campaign support from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whom Astorino has challenged for governor, but lost. Other political observers said they expect Cuomo to help Latimer to dash Astorino's aspirations for higher elective posts.
Latimer said Astorino has overestimated sales tax revenue and borrowed to pay pensions and certioraris to avoid raising property taxes.
State Assemblyman Tom Abinanti, A Democrat who represents Mount Pleasant and Greenburgh, said he has not decided whether to run for county executive.
Bill O'Reilly, a campaign spokesman for Astorino, said, "There's a time for politics and a time for governing. This is a time for governing."
"County Executive Astorino looks forward to a series of healthy, respectful debates in the Fall with whomever emerges from the Democratic Primary," O'Reilly said.

Larry is a hard worker, with deep reserves of energy. Yes, stimulants calm him down. And the opposite. He was being prepped for surgery, they gave him a pre-anesthesia dose of sodium pentothol. That practically puts most people out. Nope, he sat bolt upright on the gurney and started rattling a mile a minute. They had to gas him to get him down. When he has local procedures, the local numbing usually wears off fast, he can feel the procedure but usually just lets the doc do his thing until a muscle twitches. Freaks the surgeon out. He has a bizarrely high pain tolerance.
And yes, he can get scattered. That's what I'm for, herding the energy. We're quite the balancing act.
