What Do Your Shelves Say About You?
The food in your fridge can paint a pretty vivid picture of what your diet looks like. And if that picture is full of processed foods and sweets instead of whole-grain options and fruits and vegetables, then it goes without saying that there is room for improvement on your refrigerator report card.
"You can have slender shelves or siren shelves," says Carole Carson, fitness expert and author of From Fat to Fit. "To make better choices, be conscious what you put at eye-level when you open your refrigerator. These should be things like fruits, vegetables, and snacking options like cottage cheese and yogurt."
On top of homing in on which shelves to display your superfoods, Carson also says it's important to fill your fridge with actual ingredients, not pre-packaged foods. "It's easier than you think to cook from scratch, not to mention much cheaper! You'll only use three to four ingredients, and the end result is much healthier than something that is frozen or processed."
Get Ready to Reorganize
You alone have control of your cupboards, yet with a family to please along with a sweet tooth that just won't budge you may find your shelves are often filled with more calorie bombs than flat-belly eats. To keep everyone smiling and your clothes fitting properly, take note of where your eyes go first when you open the fridge, says Gail Rampersaud, MS, RD, LDN. "This is where your healthy foods should automatically go. Push the sugary drinks in the back and replace them with 100 percent orange juice and bottled water, so your instinct is to grab one of them instead."
For those with a kitchen so organized even Wolfgang Puck would be jealous, be mindful of your leftovers. "Even if your fridge is stocked with fruits and veggies, if you put that leftover pizza on the top shelf, what do you think you'll grab first?" says Robyn Flipse, MS, RD. "Package leftovers into single servings and smaller containers that you can take for lunch. Steer clear of foil or takeout containers, as you're more likely to graze and overeat." One thing to wrap up in foil, according to Flipse, is dessert. "If you make sweets less visible, you'll lose interest in a eating it in a few days." And if you just can't say no, throw it away. Even though we were brought up on not wasting food, it's better to toss that sky-high cake from your birthday party than to add unwanted (and unhealthy) pounds to your waistline.
Fridge Foods You Need More Of
The more healthy choices you have access to, the more likely you'll reach for that apple instead of the potato chips. Make sure your shelves are stocked with these starter foods to start eating healthier today:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Soy products
- Eggs
- Yogurt
- Low-fat milk
- Salmon
- Lean beef
- Beans
- Oatmeal
The Craving Cheat Sheet
Can't give up that scoop of ice cream or occasional sweet, yet having it in the house is a recipe for a dieting disaster? Flipse recommends the below to curb your craving and slash your calorie intake:
- 2-ounce portions of deli meat
- Mini cheeses, like Mini Babybel cheese that comes in a single serving
- 7.5-ounce Coke mini cans (90 calories each)
- Peeled oranges or melons, stored in Ziploc bags for portion control
Another tip to keep on tap? Eat with a fork. "Most things we eat with our hands are not the healthiest options — pigs in a blanket, cookies, candy. When you pick up a fork and sit down, you have time to think about what you're putting in your mouth," Carson says.
So the next time you're about to reach for that day-old slice, spend some time giving your fridge a little organization TLC and put a halt to a munching meltdown.

When vacationing, is it better to travel alone or in a group?
It's a question that a lot of travelers mentally toss back and forth, because traveling in a group certainly has its benefits whether you do it abroad or domestically, but so does traveling alone.
Although traveling in large numbers seems to be safer and extremely fun to do, it can also be quite exasperating, especially when people in your travel group share different interests and like to do different things. And most know that trying to appease everyone in a group is a task they'll never be able to pull off succesfully.
So to avoid these kinds of travel headaches, a good number of people choose to go on their journey unaccompanied and figure they can either meet people on the road or stay with people they know in the towns they're visiting.
Dangers lurk
It's important for lone travelers to be aware of how to stay safe, especially on the heels of a 33-year old mother from Staten Island, NY., who was tragically killed after going to Istanbul, Turkey on a lone photography trip.
The details of how the victim, Sarai Sierra, was killed are still fuzzy, say police, and detectives are still working the case, but the tragic incident will more than likely put the issue of travel safety on a lot of consumers' minds, especially those who may already be planning a trip by themselves.
According to some safety tips released by the U.S. State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs, one of the first things a person should do before traveling is research, learn and remember all of the cultural differences of a foreign country and also be knowledgeable of the political happenings to determine the level of safety.
The department advises travelers to use the website www.travel.state.gov to keep abreast of any news that may be developing in a country that you're traveling into.
Consular Affairs released these safety instructions mainly for women travelers, but the tips really apply to both genders and should be followed regardless of whether one's a seasoned traveler or if they're heading out of the country alone for the first time.
Your itinerary
The government agency also says it's important to give someone a copy of your travel itinerary and let them know where you will go, what cities you will visit and what hotels and hostels you'll be staying in. If your plans change, let someone know. There have been many reports of lone travelers going missing without a trace once they deviated from their pre-planned itinerary and never told anyone.
People traveling alone should also schedule days to check-in with a friend or family member, so others know your current location and that you're doing okay. However, Consular Affairs also says if you take this particular safety measure, its important you don't miss a check-in appointment, since missing one will most likely spark immediate worry.
It's also key to remember to be mindful of how you dress when traveling, say experts, and be sure you're not wearing expensive looking jewelry or clothes that make you stand out. This is especially important for Americans to remember, as in many countries Americans are stereotyped to be well off with loads of credit cards, money and electronic gadgets on them.
Also, women in particular should be hyper aware of dressing in a way that doesn't make them stand out, as certain outfits could offend someone of a different culture, who may do more than just roll their eyes.
Experts also say women travelers should be especially aware of local customs when traveling abroad, as there have been reports of lone female travelers getting harassed, groped and even worse for merely speaking to a man directly and looking him in the eye. In some places this can be a sign of being flirtatious or disrespectful, experts say.
And when it comes to backpacking, a lot of people like to do it in a foreign country and by themselves, since much of the fun of backpacking is trekking through a beautiful location that you wouldn't normally have access to while getting to know the locals.
And a lot of times hiking alone sounds wonderful because of the romanticized images many people have about being adventure-seeking explorers, but experts say it's always best to backpack with at least one other person, especially in a foreign location since many criminals expect hikers to be traveling alone and decide to target them for wrong doing.
It's also known that many backpackers have full backpacks that contain a lot of valuable items that they'll use during their travels, so for a criminal, a backpacker can be a one-stop shopping opportunity, so travelers should really be on alert.
The Bureau of Consular Affairs also says you should never announce to others that you're traveling alone.
Of course this is against the new norm of people letting everyone know what their travel plans are through social media, and whether this practice has to do with excitement or a desire to make folks a little envious, it's never a good idea to document where you'll be and how many people you'll be traveling with.
So keep these safety tips in mind if you're traveling alone in the future, or you can travel with your friends or family members, which is great too.
Because you might not be able to move around as fast as you like by traveling in a group, but at least you'll have others along with you who can hopefully watch your back.

NANTERRE, France, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- The widow and daughter of Yasser Arafat started legal action in France over claims the Palestinian leader died of radioactive poisoning.
Lawyer Pierre-Olivier Sur, representing widow Suha Arafat and daughter Zawra Arafat, said the women Tuesday filed a civil suit for murder "against persons unknown" with investigating magistrates in Nanterre, near Paris, Radio France Internationale reported.
Arafat, who died in November 2004 at a military hospital near Paris, was a Palestinian leader, militant, and the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He led the Palestine Liberation Organization, was president of the Palestinian National Authority and leader of the Fatah political party, which he founded in 1959.
Allegations that Arafat was poisoned surfaced in early July month after several media outlets reported on an investigation in which experts said they found high levels of polonium on Arafat's personal items, RFI said.
Polonium, a highly toxic substance, was used to kill ex-Russian spy-turned-Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, who died in London in 2006 soon after drinking tea laced with the poison.
His widow has said she supports the exhumation of Arafat's remains from his mausoleum in Ramallah, West Bank.
Arafat was airlifted from Ramallah to the military hospital for treatment. When he died, Palestinian officials claimed he was poisoned by Israeli operatives, but an investigation in 2005 was inconclusive.
Israel has denied the allegations, accusing Suha Arafat and Palestinian officials of covering up the real cause of his death.

Checking in from the press box. If all goes according to plan, I"ll be on a live chat from 6 p.m. until the close of the game.
Since I'll be watching the game, and am assuming most of you won't be seeing it on television, it will be heavy on what's going on on the field and as a result I may not get to a lot of questions, although I'll try to sneak one in here or there as well as at halftime.
Comments can also be left here, of course, and if possible I'll have a few in-game posts as well so the comments don't back up too much.

TV on the Radio @ ULU
David Sitek's guitar has wind chimes hanging from the end. In a way, it's an apt metaphor for TV on the Radio's music. Rock, but with bells on. Sometimes it's even real bells (of the small and hand-held variety) that they shake during some numbers.
TVOTR have just popped in to the UK for a couple of dates around their appearance at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's day at ATP. I'm lucky enough to get to see them tonight. I haven't seen them before, but have heard good things. And I'm not disappointed.
It took me a while to get into their debut album Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes. Maybe on the first listen I was looking for more tunes or something, but as I've discovered, that's not really what they're about. Their music is dense, complex and beautiful, but not particularly immediate. Give them time, and they will slowly creep up on you. Then you'll realise you're hooked.
Live, they take it to another level. There's more energy, even more urgency in their performance, which really rubs off on the crowd. But they're intense without being po-faced. Singer Tunde Adebimpe throws himself around the stage in a very focused way, but he also flashes us a lovely smile occasionally. They're not too cool for school. They look like they really love what they're doing.
The jazzy elements of Desperate Youth… is missing tonight, but there's plenty else thrown into the mix. The beautifully blended harmonised and looped vocals. The swathes of layered guitar. The deep, pounding bass. The fantastic beats, which threaten to become just plain funky. Even more percussion, some added by members of support band Celebration coming onstage to help out. Heck, Tunde even pulls out a megaphone for one song. Aside from that, his voice has a fantastic range, going from silky gospel to rock roar and back.
The majority of their set seemed to be taken from their forthcoming album, Return to Cookie Mountain. That meant that most of the crowd won't have heard the songs, but that didn't seem to matter. They still sounded amazing. Of course most enthusiam was shown for known and loved numbers like Dreams and Staring at the Sun, but they even managed to top the lot by a spellbinding rendition of Ambulance as the final song in the encore. No guitars, just vocals, percussion and a bit of beatboxing from Sitek.
I so can't wait for Cookie Mountain. And their return to London.
From Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes…

11th Top-10 Finish In Last 12 Years
The Yale women's crew has earned another top-10 national finish. The Bulldogs placed eighth with 84 points after the final day of the 2013 NCAA Women's Rowing Championship at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis.
It is the 11th time in the last 12 years that the Bulldogs have finished 10th or better.
"This team raced hard and was within a whisker of a top-five finish," said Yale head coach Will Porter. "We did many things well this year, but I am most pleased with the way the seniors got us back to the basics which is hard work pays off."
Yale, which entered the championship ranked 12th in the nation, improved on last year's 10th place finish and loses only four seniors to graduation.
"I look forward to next year," Porter said. "We are back on the climb."
Yale had one crew, the second varsity eight, in the grand final. The varsity eight fell less than a second shy of qualifying the grand final.
Ohio State won the NCAA championship with 126 points, two points ahead of second-place California. Princeton was third with 112, followed by USC (110), Virginia (108), Washington (102) and Brown (91).
Yale's second varsity eight finished fifth in the grand final with a time of 6:32.824. Ohio State won in 6:27.866.
The crew for the Bulldogs was Kristina Wagner, Kara Freeman, Elizabeth Vincent, Madeline Dinse, Martha Cosgrove, Mieke Scherpbier, Kristjana Gudmundsson, Abby Loucks and coxswain Margaret Ayers.
Yale's varsity eight was fifth in a very close petite final. Less than three seconds separated the third-place and sixth-place finishers. The Bulldogs had a time of 6:31.992. UCLA was the winner in 6:26.618, a second faster than Radcliffe.
Yale's crew was Eliza Hastings, Abbie Young, Claire Tolson, Nina Demmerle, Kim Szokol, Natalie King, Maddie Lips, Colleen Maher and coxswain Kristen Brownlee.
In the varsity four, the Bulldogs also placed fifth in the petite final with a time of 7:26.778.
The Yale crew was Amina Edwards, Brit Sharon, Emily Tormey, Jen Stockwood and coxswain Christine Devlin.

Church in Our Times: Spirit and Security in the Face of Crisis
We've been hearing for years that mainline Protestant churches are on the wane in the United States, emptying out in an increasingly atomized society. In my personal life, my 10-year membership in a small Unitarian Universalist church here in Boston has deepened as I've realized the extent of the environmental and economic crisis we are living through.
I consider my church to be my community in a unique way: I rely on the congregation for my deepest sustenance—even on those who are not my "friends." These are the people I can be real with, and the ones I will count on as times get harder. I often find myself recommending to friends that they find a religious community to join, reminding them that there are many places that accept non-believers and agnostics.
Many activists working to confront the economic crisis, peak oil and climate change think similarly. The threat to our growth-based economy, and the materialistic lifestyle it has afforded us, has brought strong moral questions to the fore. Can we, in good conscience, continue to live in a way that threatens the well being of our planet, our poorer neighbors, and the generations to come? This question, and its answer, falls squarely into the realm of religion.
We have found congregations, with their traditions of mutual support, to be particularly fertile ground for the formation of Common Security Clubs. Likewise, the clubs have been effective tools for strengthening congregations in this time of economic and ecological crisis.
The clubs help recreate the role that churches have always played in communities. The Rev. Cecilia Kingman piloted one of the earliest Common Security Clubs in her Washington state church, calling it "one of the best pastoral tools I've used in years."
Cecilia says the church has a unique role to play in this moment of crisis: "All of the old stories are failing us, and we need new stories. Religion is the only institution that creates new stories, and a new theology."
Cecilia has served several congregations in the past decade, and has observed a heightening amount of anxiety and depression in her congregations over that time. "People are overwhelmed by grief and anxiety ... part of my job is to put grief work before them on a regular basis. I try to be deft about it—one upcoming service is about "how to keep moving forward in times of despair" as we deal with climate change, the economy, and so on. Rather than provide the congregation with false assurances, I'm approaching the situation through the story of Jonah in the belly of the whale: we have to feel the loss and despair first. If we are clinging to trying not to feel bad, then there's no possibility of real transformation."
Jim Antal is the conference Minister and President of the United Church of Christ in Massachusetts. He's using his sermons to call attention not only to climate change, but the corresponding need to "relocalize" ourselves and our communities. It makes perfect sense, he says, to lead this call from the pulpit.
"The unit of survival going forward is the local town—and guess what? There's a church in every town!" he said. "The circumstances of the planet require that churches embrace a new vocation—for all faiths. We must ask, 'Who is my neighbor?' We must realize that our neighbor is all of creation, not just human beings, and we must think of unborn generations as our neighbors too."
:: A grassroots movement is reconnecting communities, minus the carbon.

As a native Costa Rican and Worldwatch Institute/INCAE Research Fellow, I was excited to attend the Energy and Environment Partnership's (EEP) 21st Regional Forum in my home country earlier this month. EEP's primary objective is providing finance for renewable energy projects, but it also seeks to build capacity by exploring diverse topics such as different energy technologies, policies needed for successful implementation, and regional obstacles and opportunities through stakeholder dialogues.
Worldwatch and INCAE presented Phase 1 of "The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America" in Costa Rica in March.
Under the title "Biogas and Energy Efficiency in Central America," the most recent Forum convened a group of 200 experts, project developers, governmental representatives, financiers, and the general public. The speakers addressed topics such as the contribution of energy efficiency policies and renewable energy toward carbon emissions reductions. Other important themes included the status of biogas and energy efficiency in Central America, as well as a run-through of EEP energy efficiency and biogas projects in the region.
The three-day event featured speakers from the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ), the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), and the Worldwatch Institute, among others.
On behalf of Worldwatch, President Emeritus Christopher Flavin presented on the global status of renewable energy and Climate & Energy Director Alexander Ochs summarized the results from the first phase of the Worldwatch/INCAE project, "The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America," which applies the Institute's sustainable energy roadmap methodology to the region. Dr. Ana María Majano, Associate Director of the INCAE Business School's Latin American Center for Competitiveness and Sustainable Development (CLACDS), joined Ochs as the lead in-country implementation partner.
This is an important time for the Worldwatch/INCAE Central America project, as its first phase comes to an end. Over the last year, through extensive research, interviews, country visits, and consultation workshops, our team has explored the energy situation in Central America, with an emphasis on the current status and future potential for renewable energy technologies. The project analyzed the socioeconomic opportunities associated with renewable energy, assessed finance and investment barriers and enablers, and developed policy recommendations to accelerate energy solutions that are socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
Both Ochs and Majano presented success stories as well as the limitations to future success in Central America's renewable energy sector. The region currently relies heavily on large hydropower for electricity generation and on traditional biomass for cooking, and it is increasingly dependent on fossil fuels to meet transportation and other energy needs. It is also a world leader in geothermal electricity generation and has significant untapped potential in geothermal as well as wind, solar, biomass, and small hydro resources.
The Worldwatch/INCAE study found that integrated planning is needed in the region's energy sector, both across countries and across technologies, and that key actors in the sector need to better coordinate their activities and share information. The report also identified the need for country-specific levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) analyses in order to accurately compare the financial, environmental, and social costs of different electricity generation technologies.
Dr. Ana María Majano, Associate Director of the INCAE Business School's Latin American Center for Competitiveness and Sustainable Development (CLACDS), presented as the lead regional implementation partner.
The report contains a rich analysis of the current state of conventional fuels and renewable energy in Central America, as well as the potentials for each. The broader picture for this first analysis indicates that in a period from 1990 to 2011, electricity generation (which accounts for 12 percent of the region's final energy consumption) has increased from less than 15,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to over 40,000 GWh. The region currently produces 62 percent of electricity from renewable energy, down from 91 percent in 1990. The increase of fossil fuel-based generation has grown dramatically from 9 percent in 1990 to 38 percent in 2011.
The report continues with a detailed analysis of different technologies' potential. For example, solar photovoltaics (PV) are underutilized. Only two utility-scale PV plants are in operation, in Nicaragua and Costa Rica and are not yet cost-competitive with other generation technologies.
The report explores the socioeconomic opportunities that renewables can offer, having a clear advantage over fossil fuels when considering externalities such as health costs and climate impacts, among others. Given that the region will require 6,300 megawatts (MW) – 7,300 MW additional installed capacity by 2020, these socioeconomic opportunities need to be considered in decision-making processes.
The findings also include important information regarding investments that have taken place in renewable energy, as well as future finance needs of the sector. For example, if the region is to fulfill its Central American Sustainable Energy Strategy 2020 – a strategy agreed upon by the Directors of Energy and Hydrocarbon and Ministers of Energy of the region in 2007 in order guarantee the quality, quantity, and diversity of sources for the region's energy supply – by the end of that year, an estimated $12-$18 billion must be invested. This will be influenced largely by each country's overall investment climate. The report also analyzes existing renewable energy support mechanisms, from various sources, such as public and climate financing.
Throughout the report are examples of success stories and best practices, whether for rural solar initiatives in Nicaragua or green microfinance in Honduras. The document wraps up with recommendations aimed at moving renewable energy forward in the region, as well as the main priorities identified for Central America during the project's initial phase.
The first priority is to expand access to energy in underserved communities through distributed renewable energy and the sustainable use of fuelwood. The second is to reverse growth in fossil fuel-generated electricity and to meet future power demand in grid-connected areas with sustainable energy and energy efficiency.
So what is the way forward? During Phase Two of the project (2013–14), Worldwatch and INCAE will develop more detailed Sustainable Energy Action Roadmaps for the region. These will explore electrification, sustainable fuelwood use, and decreasing growth in fossil fuel consumption through development of small- and large scale renewable energy sources. Phase Three (2014–15) will consist of training and peer-to-peer learning exercises. Although "The Way Forward for Renewables in Central America" is ambitious, and we still have a ways to go, the outcome will hopefully be transformative for the region.

Sentencing Catt, who showed no emotion during the hour-long hearing, the judge said: "The critical element of your offending is the deliberate choice made by you, in full knowledge of the due date of your child, to terminate the pregnancy at somewhere close to term, if not actually at term, with the full knowledge that termination after week 24 was unlawful and in full knowledge your child's birth was imminent."
I'm also curious as to the circumstances in which she became pregnant to begin with...I suppose the only way I could come close to understanding a mindset like hers was if maybe she was raped by someone who was a legitimate sociopath, or something, and feared bringing a child into the world, even if someone else was going to raise it, which might have inherited a horribly twisted mind.
Per the article she believed it was conceived during her 7 year affair with another man. (She's married. Or was married, IDK her current state of affairs.)

CORVALLIS — When USC fired coach Kevin O'Neill a couple of weeks ago, Oregon State coach Craig Robinson winced and then joked, "When you see a guy 2-2 get fired, when you're 0-3, you get nervous.''
Robinson, his Beavers having dropped to 1-6 in thePac-12 (11-9 overall) still isn't nervous, but he and his players recognize the urgency of their situation.OSU traveled to the Bay Area on Wednesday, for games against California and Stanford. The Bears are 3-4 in league play and Stanford improved to 4-4 with a win over Oregon Wednesday.
If the wins don't come for the Beavers, who knows what the team's mind set would be when it returns to Corvallis.
"With our record, you've got to put together some wins and turn this thing around,'' Robinson said. "We're trying to give these guys the level of confidence they had before they started on this streak.''
On one hand, the Beavers are a couple of free throws and a couple of stops away from being a run-of-the-mill 3-4, too. And they have played the Pac-12's better half, with just two games remaining against teams with winning conference records (Washington and Oregon). On the other hand, they are not clicking on offense, their defense gives up more Pac-12 points than any other, there is some slippage in rebounding and, well, they are 1-6.
"I mean, we're right there,'' said forward Eric Moreland. "We see it, and we believe. We believe in the coaching staff, and we believe in each other. We've just got to keep on grinding it out.''
The Beavers are ninth in the Pac-12 in attendance for league play, a notch below where they were last season (resurgent Arizona State has passed them). And many fans have taken to the message boards with gripes about Robinson.
"People want quick fixes, even if it was a horrible place to be just five years ago — that's what I signed up for,'' Robinson said. "If my evaluation is wins and losses, my evaluation is wins and losses. You've got to keep winning if you want to keep these jobs.''
Robinson admitted that, in his first four years at OSU, his teams largely stayed away from the injury bug. But the loss of center Angus Brandt has left a void bigger than what one might expect from the loss of a player who averaged 9.1 points and 3.4 rebounds last season.
Without Brandt, probably the team's most reliable 15-footshooter, the spacing has suffered on offense, and the dirty work is gone on the other end. No OSU player was better at rotating and taking a charge. Nobody was more willing to bang his body.
Defensively, Robinson admits his team is a work in progress, and Robinson was frank in admitting he doesn't have all the answers just yet.
"I'd like to be better at the whole concept of man-to-man defense,'' he said.
But he did point to the recent improvement in Roberto Nelson's defense, and the on-the-ball defense of Devon Collier. And freshman Jarmal Reid has been a defensive find. Reid has guarded everybody from ASU's explosive point guard Jahii Carson to Washington State big man Brock Motum, and it's a good bet he'll be harassing Cal guard Allen Crabbe tonight.
Opponents are shooting 46 percent against OSU. Last year, they shot a league-worst 48 percent. So there is improvement on a team that is in its second year of playing man-to-man. The Beavers held both Washington schools below 45 percent shooting from the floor last weekend. They just had no answer for Motum, arguably the league's best player at dissecting a defense.
On offense, OSU has had to endure the growing pains of freshmen Reid, Olaf Schaftenaar and Langston Morris-Walker, who are shooting a combined 29 percent from the floor.It adds up to a tenuous situation, where the margin for error is slim and mistakes harder to avoid with each defeat.
"We feel like we know how to win games and are capable of it,'' Robinson said. "It's just having the stomach to put it all together. By stomach, it could be guts, it could be courage, it could be character — just a lot of things that go into winning a game at this point.''
Practices have been as energetic as ever, as players have handled the situation "about as well as they can,'' Robinson said.
"There's no real give-up in these guys, no real negative vibe yet,'' Robinson said. "That's good to see.''
What would be better to see is another victory.
"We've got to turn this thing around, and we've got to do it fast,'' Moreland said. "It's getting tiring to say, 'we're right there.' We've just got to go and do it.''
OSU looks to get back to winning ways tonight

MADRID (AP) — Spaniard Josep Joan Bigas Luna was lauded as a brilliant and "truly special" filmmaker a day after his death, with some of the highest praise coming from actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, two stars whose film careers he launched.
Bigas Luna, 67, died Saturday in northeast Spain after a long battle with cancer.
The filmmaker was regarded as having had an excellent eye for spotting talent and a knack for stimulating on-screen chemistry between actors. His 1992 film "Jamon, Jamon" received unanimous praise as "a classic" in the Spanish press on Sunday,
The director discovered Cruz and Bardem, who married in 2010, as well as a giving early boosts to a host of other now well-known film muses, including Leonor Watling, Angela Molina, Francesca Neri and Valeria Marini.
Many of the roles in his films were explosively steamy, even erotic. Yet they often explored with great insight aspects of modern Spain's quirkiness.
"He was charming, intelligent, ironic, and possessed of an utterly contagious hedonism," said Ferran Mascarell, culture spokesman for the government of Bigas Luna's native Catalan region.
"I don't know where to begin," Bardem said, adding that he owes Bigas Luna "the woman I love," and "a career that I never dreamed I could have."
Bardem's first film role was in Bigas Luna's "The Ages of Lulu" (1990), but it is his role, co-starring with Cruz in "Jamon, Jamon" that many consider one of his most searing and memorable.
He later went on to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as psychopathic assassin Anton Chigurh in Ethan and Joel Coen's "No Country for Old Men" and has also played villain Raoul Silva in "Skyfall," the latest Bond movie.
In a heartfelt statement, Cruz said an early casting for "The Ages of Lulu" changed her life.
"In walked a man with a rascal's face: Bigas Luna," she said. "The first thing he asked me was my age (she was 14). I said I was 17 and he, always very gently and without making me feel too bad, laughed in my face and said: 'Well, you won't make this movie, but I'll call for another when you're older.'"
The actress said she was astonished when, three years later, the phone rang and it was Bigas Luna asking her to try out for "Jamon, Jamon."
"When I was with him I felt time stood still," Cruz said. "He was truly special."
Bigas Luna died while still working on his latest film, "Segon Origen."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former investigator who worked for the firm that conducted a background check on ex-National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden has pleaded guilty to charges of falsifying work on background investigations of other federal workers.
Ramon Davila (rah-MOHN' DAH'-vee-lah) pleaded guilty Thursday to making a false statement. He did not work on the Snowden background investigation.
Davila worked for three contractors that did federal background checks on behalf of the Office of Personnel Management's Federal Investigative Services. One of those was USIS, which conducted the background investigation of Snowden. Snowden admitted disclosing previously secret NSA programs.
In a statement Friday, USIS said it fired Davila, an independent contractor, in 2007 when evidence first surfaced that he falsified reports.
A government watchdog told Congress Thursday that USIS is now under investigation.

Ark. water supplier seeks plan for moving pipeline
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Officials with an Arkansas water supplier approved a measure Thursday asking ExxonMobil for a plan to move an oil pipeline away from an area that drains into the main source of drinking water for Little Rock and several other communities.
The move by Central Arkansas Water's Board of Commissioners comes nearly two weeks after ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline ruptured and spilled thousands of barrels of oil in Mayflower, a small city about 25 miles northwest of Little Rock.
ExxonMobil has said the March 29 spill didn't affect Mayflower's drinking water supply, which comes from a lake about 65 miles away and is managed by a different supplier.
But that hasn't ended concerns about drinking water in the region, as the pipeline runs through part of the Lake Maumelle Watershed, the area that drains into the main drinking water supply for hundreds of thousands of people.
Central Arkansas Water's board is also asking ExxonMobil to come up with short-term solutions to reduce the risk of an oil spill in the watershed.
"Even with all these measures that we're trying to do to minimize our risk and improve our emergency response, there's really no guarantee unless the pipeline itself is removed from the watershed," said Robert Hart, a technical services officer with Central Arkansas Water.
Central Arkansas Water asked ExxonMobil officials to attend Thursday's meeting, but no one from the company showed up. During a press conference earlier in the day, ExxonMobil on-scene coordinator Karen Tyrone said company officials had spoken with people from Central Arkansas Water.
"We understand their concerns," Tyrone said. "... They understand that we're in a recovery effort right now and our focus right now is the Mayflower community."
Officials said residents of four of the more than 20 homes evacuated because of the oil spill could go home as early as Thursday. Federal on-scene coordinator Nick Brescia said the residents of eight or nine other homes could return in the coming days.
It's not clear when the rest could come back, but some people may not want to return as cleanup crews and their heavy equipment are still trying to get rid of what's left of the spill.
"We have not had a strong interest to get back into homes," Tyrone said.
So far, crews have recovered more than 28,000 barrels of oily water and about 2,000 cubic yards of oiled soil and debris, according to a statement from ExxonMobil and local officials. Officials estimate that about 5,000 barrels of oil spilled, though a final number isn't expected until the pipeline has been repaired and refilled.
Officials hope to remove the ruptured part of the Pegasus pipeline in the next few days, Tyrone said. Then, investigators may be able to piece together why it ruptured.
"You cannot know what happened until you get this piece of pipe out and you get it to a lab," she said.

WESTPORT, Conn. — Friends are invited to attend a memorial service at the First Unitarian Church in Westport for Staples graduate Riley Fritz, 29, who died Saturday, Dec. 3, in Oakland, Calif., a victim of a warehouse fire that killed 36 people.
The service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17, at the First Unitarian Church, 10 Lyons Plains Road, Westport. Friends are invited to pay their respects until 3:30 p.m. at the church.
Fritz, who also used the name Feral Pines, was the daughter of Bruce and Nancye Fritz of Westport.
Born at Norwalk Hospital, Fritz was active in youth hockey and in Boy Scouts, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. She was a musician who played multiple instruments, including bass guitar.
She graduated from Staples High School in 2005 and earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
She lived in Brooklyn, North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in September. Since moving to California, she had been planning to start playing in at least two new bands.
She was frequently involved in creative projects and owned a dog named Grimma.
According to the Connecticut Post, Bruce Fritz of Newtown Turnpike said his child was attending an electronic music show at the warehouse on Dec. 2 when the blaze broke out.
The warehouse, known as Ghost Ship, had been converted into an artist collective and into unpermitted dwelling units in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, Calif.
At the time of the fire, the warehouse was hosting a concert without a permit promoted by the house music record label 100% Silk.
A total of 36 people were killed in the fire, the deadliest in the history of Oakland. It was also the deadliest building fire in the United States since The Station nightclub fire in 2003 in Rhode Island.
In addition to her parents, Fritz is survived by her brother, Ben Fritz of Los Angeles; sister Amanda Seagaard Parry of Stamford; sister-in-law Alicia Kirk; brother-in-law Steven Parry; nephew Hudson Fritz; nieces Charlotte and Caroline Parry; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Trevor Project or The Connecticut Humane Society .
The Harding Funeral Home in Westport is assisting the family with the arrangements. Condolences for the Fritz family may be left online by clicking here .

A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agent along with Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office (CPSO) deputies arrested four subjects in Concordia Parish for alleged night hunting violations on Oct. 21.
Sgt. Trey Mason observed a vehicle traveling on Haphazard Road about 10 miles West of Ferriday around 4 a.m. Sgt. Mason then observed someone from inside the vehicle shine a spotlight in nearby fields and shoot numerous times at various game.
Sgt. Mason along with Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office Sgt. Randy Stockman and Deputy Amos Coley stopped the vehicle. The four subjects inside the vehicle were identified as Joshua K. Parker, 21, of Vidalia, Shelby L. Martin, 17, of Ridgecrest, Joshua S. Homes, 26, of Ridgecrest, and Emily S. Perry, 23, of Ridgecrest.
Sgt. Mason and the CPSO deputies found numerous firearms along with nine freshly killed rabbits and one freshly killed deer in the bed of the vehicle.
All four subjects were charged with taking deer during illegal hours, hunting wild quadrapeds during illegal hours, hunting from a moving vehicle and taking deer from a public road. Parker and Martin were also cited for discharging a firearm from a public road. The subjects were arrested and booked into the Concordia Parish Jail.
Hunting deer during illegal hours brings up to a $950 fine and 120 days in jail. Hunting from a moving vehicle, discharging a firearm from a public road and hunting wild quadrupeds during illegal hours each carry between a $250 and $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Taking a deer from a public road carries a $100 to $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail.

A dramatic rise in the number of motorcyclists dying on Derbyshire's roads has sparked an urgent crackdown on speeding.
Motorcyclist deaths across the county have doubled from three between January and June last year to six during the same period this year.
Now, Derbyshire road safety partnership – which is made up of organisations including Derbyshire police – will concentrate less on educating riders and more on enforcement.
Chief Inspector Tracy Lewis, head of roads policing in Derbyshire, said: "We prefer to keep riders safe by educating them but the rising death toll during the first half of this year has prompted us to review our approach.
"Speeding by the riders themselves contributes to many of the crashes where they end up getting killed or hurt. That's why we're going to take a tougher approach.
"From now until October, we'll be focusing more on speed detection and prosecution and less on chatting to bikers about their riding behaviour.
"Watch your speed is our message to motorcyclists this summer." For more safety advice, visit www.saferroadsderbyshire.org.uk

Articulated total disc replacement with 3 or 5 degrees of freedom : a cadaveric lumbar spine study
Search Medline for
|May 4, 2005
Total disc replacement is a novel approach for dynamically stabilizing a painful intervertebral segment. While this approach is gaining popularity, and several types of implants are used, the effect of disc arthroplasty on lumbar biomechanics has not been widely reported. The goal of this study was to characterize kinematic and load transfer modifications at L5/S1 secondary to joint replacement.
Twelve human cadaveric L5/S1 joints were tested before and after disc replacement using Prodisc II implants in 6 specimens and SB Charité III in 6 other specimens. Test specimens were subjected to a physiologic combination of compression and anterior shear. The instant axis of rotation (IAR) was calculated for every 3-degree intervals up to 6 degrees of flexion, extension and lateral bending, and the force through the facet joints was simultaneously measured using flexible intra-articular sensors.
During flexion/extension, the IAR was not significantly modified by implantation with the exception that the IAR was higher relative to S1 endplate with the Charite (p=0.028). The facet force significantly decreased 6° extension (27%, p=0.013). In lateral bending, the IAR was significantly modified by Prodisc replacement, with a decreased inclination relative to S1 endplate, (i.e. increased coupled axial rotation).The ipsilateral facet force was significantly increased in 6° lateral bending with the Charite (85%; p=0.001).
The degree of constraint affects post-implantation kinematics and load transfer. With the Prodisc (3 DOF), the facets were partially unloaded, though the IAR did not match the fixed geometrical center of the UHMWPE, suggesting joint surface incongruence. With the Charite (5 DOF), the IAR was less variable, yet the facet forces trended to increase, particularly during lateral bending. These results highlight the important role the facets play in guiding movement, and that implant constraint influences facet/implant synergy. The long-term consequences of the differing kinematics on clinically-important outcomes such as wear and facet arthritis have yet to be determined.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Eli Manning engineered an 88-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter Sunday, boosting the New York Giants to a 21-17 win over New England in Super Bowl XLVI.
Manning marched the Giants down field in nine plays, with the key play coming on Mario Manningham's 16-yard tightrope grab along the sidelines on second and 10 from the 50-yard line with 3 1/2 minutes left.
Ahmad Bradshaw's 6-yard run untouched into the end zone with 57 seconds remaining erased a 17-15 deficit and handed the Giants their second Super Bowl victory over New England in four years.
Manning finished 30-of-40 through the air for 296 yards with a touchdown pass to Victor Cruz and no interceptions, earning his second Super Bowl ring under New York Coach Tom Coughlin. Manning was named the game's MVP.
Tom Brady completed 27-of-41 passes for 276 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Patriots, who were seeking their fourth Super Bowl title under Brady and Coach Bill Belichick.

Care, General Care Projects in Nepal by Zoe Dorrington
I chose to visit Nepal for my four week public health placement, whilst in my second year of my Nursing degree. I chose Nepal before the earthquake hit in April 2015, but what had happened since then made me even more motivated. I have not been to South Asia or experienced working in health care outside the UK, so I felt nervous but excited. I was hoping I could use my training to help local staff, lead workshops, and even treat patients.
I knew my journey had truly started once I had landed and was greeted by a Projects Abroad staff member at the airport and taken to the hotel. I got to meet the Projects Abroad Nepal team, have an induction, meet some other volunteers, and have a sleep before heading out to my host family.
Volunteering at a school
While in Nepal I worked for two weeks in a school where I taught young children how to wash their hands and the importance of hygiene, how to count, and the alphabet. We also played games. I brought items for the children such as drawing books, pencils, hair bands, and hand soap, which the school and children appreciated.
It was lovely to see the children enjoy themselves and it was amazing to see the progress of the children in just two weeks. The children even taught me a few words of Nepali! It was very impressive how well the children could speak and how neat their handwriting and colouring was. It is a great opportunity to see how things that are done differently to back home.
My medical placement
After my Care placement, I volunteered at a hospital for two weeks where I attended different departments. I mainly observed while the doctors and nurses explained to me what they are doing and why. It was great to be able to visit a variety of departments to get the full experience of how the hospital works and the different wards they have. I brought some medical equipment such as gloves, fob watches, scissors, cotton wool, dressings, and posters.
I found the hospital was more equipped than I expected and the patients' families seem to get really involved in patient care which seemed to work really well. I was impressed with the knowledge and skills of the staff and the equipment they had available. Everyone is so friendly and willing to work and teach the volunteers. The medical staff took a big interest in what we do back home and the kind of things our role included.
My host family
The host family I stayed with was welcoming, friendly, and supportive, and they respected our privacy, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. It was nice to watch TV, chat about your day, and play games in the evenings with the family and the other volunteers staying in the house. We were provided three meals a day, but due to being out volunteering we usually had lunch out. We got breakfast before heading out to work, which was different every morning and dinner when we got home in the evening which was usually dal bhat and curry. A must try are the traditional Nepalese dumplings, called momos. It is a very popular dish and absolutely delicious!
There was a nice little café close to the house where we could go to after work to relax, have a chat, get a drink, and to use WIFI. Be prepared for a few cold showers in Nepal, but when it's hot that's all you want (just don't get any water in your mouth!). One thing I was prepared for was the rain as August is monsoon season in Nepal. I packed my waterproofs, umbrella, and wellies, but I did not need it as it rained at night luckily.
Sightseeing and travelling in Nepal
Whilst on my trip I met some fantastic people and saw some amazing places. We had weekends free to explore the country which we made the most of. We got to visit Kathmandu where we went to the monkey temple (I would advise not having food or drinks in your hand – the monkeys will take it!), Patan for sightseeing and shopping, and Pokhara. In Pokhara, we went paragliding and took a steep walk up to the Shanti Stupa. At the Chitwan National Park, we saw beautiful sunsets and had a chance to see the local wildlife. We stayed in some lovely hotels in great locations with great prices and food. To top it off we flew round Mount Everest on our last day, which was incredible and well worth it.
It may be a shock to the system to start with, but you soon settle in and have a routine. It was an amazing opportunity to learn about the different working practices, culture, and language. I have come back with some amazing memories, photos, and friends. I will never forget my time in Nepal.

Keene mulls disorderly residences ordinanceBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 05. 2017 11:53PM
KEENE — A proposed disorderly residences ordinance is being considered by the Municipal Services, Facilities and Infrastructure Committee.
The committee took up the proposed ordinance at the request of Mayor Kendall Lane. Lane had suggested it at a recent City Council meeting at which the Keene Pumpkin Festival was discussed. Many said at the meeting that despite the two-year hiatus of the festival, issues with disorderly Keene State College students at off-campus housing was an issue for some neighborhoods.
The proposed ordinance would fine a property owner if police responded to a residence multiple times.
"It aims really at only a few properties that are problematic," City Councilor Mitchell Greenwald said Wednesday.
Greenwald does not serve on the committee, but he is a landlord in Keene.
He said the ordinance, which was considered a decade ago by councilors but went nowhere, could have unintended consequences.
Greenwald provided the example of a homeowner going away for the weekend and leaving a relative at the home to house-sit. Over the weekend, neighbors could complain about the relative to police, causing two or three police responses, and the homeowner could then face a fine upon returning, Greenwald said.
"It means well, but it doesn't flow well constitutionally," he said.
He added he recently spoke to a city landlord who had called police to a property up to 10 times recently for drug activity. Landlords are required to provide evidence of criminal activity through police reports to evict, he said. It raises a question, he said: How does a landlord deal with criminal activity on their properties if they are fined when they call police to investigate?
The committee tabled the issue instead of sending it to the full council this week, and plans to take up the proposed ordinance again on Wednesday. If it is recommended to the full council, there will be a public hearing, Greenwald said.

What started as a way to get a job in education became life's work for Margaret Brown Walker.
The retired Carroll County High School special education teacher was born in Lexington, but moved to Carrollton in 1952 with her family when her father, Jim Brown, decided to open a retail lumber company in town. During that time, her mother, Caroline, taught health and physical education at Carrollton High School for four years.
Though Becky Tull's parents resided in Switzerland County, Ind., she would be born in Carroll County, since Tull's father brought his wife to be with her parents in Carroll County for her delivery. This was fitting, because although Tull would live in many places throughout her life, her roots would be in Carroll County where she was born.
That was in 1921, and her parents, Herbert and Florence Bell Wood Morgan, would have a total of six children, who Tull would help to raise when her mother died ten years later.
Bring up the Carrollton Fire Department and you can feel the excitement, energy and passion that new Fire Chief Greg Beck brings to his job.
Carrollton City Council appointed Beck to the post Nov. 12. The position had been open more than a year since Randy Tharp's retirement in October 2011.
Beck brings years of training and experience to his new position.

Andrew Johnson has achieved what most people twice his age have not and others may never have. He has secured his "dream job" with the Carroll County School System.
In June at the young age of 23, Johnson was hired by the school district as the Computer Maintenance Technician, a job he "absolutely" considers his dream job.

Few students from this Carroll County get to attend "The No. 1 high school in the nation," but Linda Aguazul, a senior this year at The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science, was born and raised here.
Gatton Academy was recently named the top high school in the United States by Newsweek magazine, according to the Newsweek website. Gatton is located on the campus of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky.

If you were to meet the Cary family, you wouldn't know that four of their seven children are foster kids.
Chris and Konnie Cary, of Carrollton, are parents to Joel, 14, Sarah, 11, Jacob, 11, Levi, 8, Gage, 6, Jordyn, 5, and Max, 2.
They all work and play together like siblings, even though Jacob and the three youngest are only living with them temporarily.
Have you met Tom Turner? If you have, you may not recognize him, now. No one else does.
The 66-year-old former welding teacher at the Carroll County Area Technology Center recently lost 270 pounds. He is a man of many talents, who not only enjoys gardening, hunting, fishing and cooking, but was also an accomplished ballroom dancer for years.
Tom taught at the vocational school from 1987 until he retired in 2003. He moved back to Carrollton in December.
Baby bottles, diapers and day care. These are things Melissa Walker thought she was done with. She and her husband, George, have an 11-year-old son, Jeremy. She also has two stepchildren who are in their 20s and do not live at home.
But about two years ago, the family dynamic changed when they began raising their granddaughter, Audrey, who is now 2 1/2 years old.
A new face at Perry Park Golf Resort in Owen County will be familiar to many in Carroll County.
Steven Wallace, a 2000 graduate of Carroll County High School, was recently hired as the golf pro at the resort; not bad for someone who did not become interested in golf until his senior year at CCHS.
"I was not very good at that time," he admitted Friday. He also played basketball and baseball for CCHS, but his senior year opted out of baseball in favor of golf.
There's a new face attending to patients at Carroll County Family Practice.
Dr. Milagros Rivera began working at the practice, located in Carroll County Memorial Hospital, about two weeks ago after more than 13 years as a physician in the Louisville metropolitan area.
Rivera, who is fluent in Spanish, has a passion for family practice and hopes to help members of the local Hispanic community.

Two of the top defenses in college football will face off against one another this Saturday in the Orange Bowl's Week 7 Game of the Week. The No. 3 South Carolina Gamecocks (6-0, 4-0) will try and continue their SEC dominance against the imposing No. 8 LSU Tigers (5-1, 1-1), who are looking to get their season back on track after a hard-fought loss to Florida last week.
The Gamecock's defense has been better than advertised, racking up 25 sacks and eight interceptions while allowing just 10.5 points per game on the season. Leading the way is defensive superstar Jadeveon Clowney, a do-it-all defensive end who we could see go number one overall in 2014. He's second in the SEC in sacks (6.5) and tackles for losses (11.5) and can completely take over games. The rest of South Carolina's front four have elevated their game as well, proving integral to a defense that held a high-powered Georgia offense to just 224 yards of offense (75 of which came on a final drive) in last week's 35-7 victory over the Bulldogs. Quarterback Connor Shaw has been very efficient with the ball (185.7 passer rating, 1,014 yards of offense, eight touchdowns, two interceptions and a 75.7 completion percentage), limiting turnovers and keeping defenses honest with his ability to move out of the pocket. Junior Marcus Lattimore has been a workhorse at running back, and could be heating up at just the right time, with 229 yards and three scores over his past two games. However, Lattimore, Shaw and the rest of the Gamecock's offense will face their toughest challenge this week in Baton Rouge.
LSU's defensive front four is one of the deepest in the nation, with five projected draft picks (and two surefire first rounders) in their rotation. Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery are stalwarts at the defensive end position, commanding double teams all game long while Bennie Logan, Anthony Johnson and Josh Downs clog up the middle lanes from the tackle position. The Tigers have allowed just 224.3 yards per game, good enough for fourth in the nation, and their defense has them still in contention for an SEC crown. On offense, junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger hasn't provided as big a boost to the passing game as the LSU faithful had hoped (139.9 passer rating, 1,174 yards, six touchdowns, three interceptions), but their rushing attack is as good as ever. Kenny Hilliard, Alfred Blue and Michael Ford have combined for 890 yards and 10 touchdowns, at an impressive 6.4 yards per carry. However, injuries along LSU's beleaguered offensive line (Chris Faulk is out for the season, Alex Hurt and Josh Williford might both miss the game) could spell trouble for Hilliard and company this season.
The Bayou Bengals have had South Carolina's number over the series' history, holding a 16-2-1 advantage all time over the Gamecocks. They also ride the nation's longest home winning streak, claiming the last 21 games played in Tiger Stadium. But with a school-record 10-game win streak, the Gamecocks are one of the hottest teams in football right now, and the dominant play of Lattimore and Clowney should make for a good matchup on Saturday.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican regulators have fined billionaire Carlos Slim's Telefonos de Mexico company $52 million (657 million pesos) for blocking a competitor.
Mexico's anti-monopoly commission said Thursday that Telmex refused to connect local and domestic land-line calls to Mexican competitor Axtel for 10 months in 2009 and 2011.
This is the third time the commission has fined Telmex for the same type of violation.
Telmex controls nearly 80 percent of Mexico's fixed phone lines, and the commission says the refusal to connect Axtel to that network was a monopolistic practice.
Telmex is the dominant player in the field in part because it was a former government monopoly privatized in the 1990s.

The discovery of the illegal cultivation operation began when Flagler County sheriff's deputies were called early New Years Eve to his home on Fleming Court.
A Palm Coast man who called for help Monday while being robbed was arrested himself when deputies found more than 100 marijuana plants he was growing in his house, officials said.
Shaune Lawrence, 54, is charged with cultivating marijuana, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Lawrence was arrested at 4 a.m. Monday and was being held on $5,000 bail.
The discovery of the illegal cultivation operation began when Flagler County sheriff's deputies were called early New Year's Eve to Lawrence's home on Fleming Court, said Debra Johnson, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. Lawrence told arriving deputies that his home been invaded by two men trying to rob him.
After receiving consent from Lawrence to enter the residence to search for the two men, deputies discovered a spare bedroom and a bathroom were active "grow rooms" containing an elaborate grow setup with lights and chemicals used for cultivating marijuana, Johnson said. Deputies dismantled the grow equipment from the residence.
No one else was found inside the home. During the search, 110 marijuana plants were recovered that had been removed from the residence by Sheriff's Office detectives who were called to the scene, Johnson said. At full potential, these plants would have yielded 55 pounds of marijuana with a street value of $44,000.
