The shifts in North Carolina reflect a national trend that began more than a decade ago. Many medical examiners in other states acknowledge that, in the past, they often misdiagnosed the causes of infant deaths. They now ascribe the deaths to preventable causes.
In North Carolina, the change could help awaken parents to the dangers of sleeping with their babies. It also could make it easier for authorities to prosecute some infant death cases, officials say. The reason: SIDS cases are classified as natural deaths, but those that are ruled "undetermined" are not.
The implications of the change can be seen in coastal Brunswick County, where two babies died mysteriously in the same home in 2012 and 2013. Dr. Douglas Hiltz, the medical examiner who investigated the deaths, told the Observer they were the types of cases that once would have been attributed to SIDS.
The first baby, James Robert Phillips, was 4 months old when he died in June 2012. Medical examiners found that he had suffocated because of undetermined causes while sleeping with his mother, Katherine Anne Jennings.
The second baby, 8-month-old Luke Stephen Phillips, died on Dec. 13, 2013, under almost identical circumstances: He was sleeping with Jennings on the couch when he was found unresponsive. The medical examiner's office ruled that he died from accidental suffocation.
Last month, authorities charged Jennings with involuntary manslaughter in the second death.
Suspicions about the change
North Carolina Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Deborah Radisch attributes the dramatic decline in SIDS cases to new research showing that unsafe sleeping arrangements kill babies much more often than was once believed.
"When I trained 30 years ago, we were taught that you couldn't really roll over on a baby; that sleep surfaces were safe," Radisch said. " That's changed."
Radisch's predecessor, former longtime Chief Medical Examiner Dr. John Butts, was slow to embrace the change. When leading states and counties began moving away from attributing infant deaths to SIDS, Butts did not. He said he believed it was unfair to blame caregivers when he could not definitely identify the cause of death.
But when Radisch took over as chief medical examiner in 2010, she had a new approach. In a 2011 memo to the state's roughly 350 medical examiners, Radisch said cases should be labeled SIDS only "if all the investigative findings and risk factors are negative."
Still, Radisch said it's usually impossible for medical examiners to prove that someone rolled over on a baby, so they are forced to classify many deaths as "undetermined."
But some contend that the shift from SIDS to "undetermined" rulings fails to address fundamental problems in the state's system for investigating suspicious deaths.
Dr. Patrick Lantz, a forensic pathologist at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, noted that medical examiners in North Carolina continue to do little more than cursory investigations.
From 2001 to mid-2013, medical examiners visited death scenes in just 5 percent of infant cases, the Observer found. Nationally, states and counties with leading death investigation systems visit the scene in almost every case and give child deaths extra scrutiny.
"We are not doing any more investigating than we were in 2001," Lantz said. "Undetermined is saying 'I don't know why.' You could call it the 'I-don't-know-why-your-baby-died disease.' "
SIDS halted investigations
Most medical examiners around the country now realize the mistakes they made in classifying infant deaths had serious implications, said Dr. Gregory Schmunk, chairman of the board of directors for the National Association of Medical Examiners.
"If we call it SIDS, law enforcement doesn't care, prosecutors don't care, child advocates don't care," said Schmunk, who serves as chief medical examiner for Polk County, Iowa, which includes Des Moines. "If we call them undetermined, people take a second look. We've recognized that the majority of these cases are preventable."
Some North Carolina prosecutors say the move away from SIDS rulings has made it easier to pursue criminal charges in the deaths of babies.
Lee Bollinger, the assistant district attorney who is prosecuting the mother in the Brunswick County case, said that pursuing criminal charges would have been much more difficult if the babies' deaths had been blamed on SIDS.
That's because prosecutors need a cause of death to press charges. And in SIDS cases, an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death.
"That would be a tremendous hurdle to a prosecutor," Bollinger said.
Jennings, the mother of the two children, now lives in Charlotte. Dustin Sullivan, the Brunswick County lawyer who represents her, said he would not allow her to talk to the press. He said it's too soon to say how Jennings would plead and whether the state was justified in filing a criminal charge.
Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell recalled a case about five years ago when an apparent suffocation death was ascribed to SIDS. His office wanted to prosecute the baby's caregiver. But before filing charges, Bell said prosecutors had to present additional evidence to the state chief medical examiner's office and persuade them to change the cause of death to "undetermined."
Even when prosecutors went to such lengths, defense lawyers could use the original SIDS rulings to bolster their cases, Bell said.
"A defense attorney can say, 'Doctor, you said it was SIDS until a prosecutor asked you to change it.' That's going to hurt you in front of a jury," Bell said.
In one recent case, a lawyer used a SIDS ruling to defend the Charlotte day care center where 4-month-old Logan Bryant died in June 2013.
State documents say workers at Chesterbrook Academy in University City put Logan to bed on his stomach and covered his head with a washcloth – an arrangement considered too dangerous for infants.
An investigative consultant recommended that the state close the day care. But the state put the center on probation after Steven Meckler, the day care's attorney, cited the SIDS ruling. Meckler noted that the medical examiner's office didn't "attribute the child's death to any acts or omissions" by the day care's staff.
Two of the center's workers have been charged with misdemeanors. Chesterbrook recently agreed to a confidential settlement in a lawsuit filed by Logan's parents.
'A better place'
Major health organizations recommend that adults should not sleep with babies. To reduce the risk of suffocation, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends putting babies to sleep on their backs alone in a crib with no objects.
But studies show a majority of parents sleep with their babies at least some of the time. Supporters say the practice helps babies rest better, leads to more emotional stability and is done safely in other cultures.
Some worry that the declining use of the SIDS label could turn well-meaning parents into criminal suspects.
"There is a risk with co-sleeping, but some people are just too poor to have a crib," said Lantz, the Wake Forest Baptist pathologist. "To criminalize that is wrong."
Medical examiners are supposed to call deaths SIDS only after a thorough scene investigation, autopsy and review of a baby's medical history have ruled out all other causes.
But the Observer's 2010 investigation found that although hundreds of infant deaths in North Carolina were blamed on SIDS, about two-thirds of the cases involved circumstances that suggested the babies suffocated. Some died facedown in pillows and soft couches, or in adult beds alongside one or more people.
In other cases highlighted in the Observer series, police suspected foul play but were unable to make arrests. In one 2007 case in Gaston County, a medical examiner ruled that a 1-month-old baby died from SIDS – even after the child had reportedly been choked by a man and had fallen to the ground from a caregiver's arms.
When Radisch replaced Butts in 2010, she promised to review how the state classified infant sleep deaths.
Soon afterward, the percentage of infant death cases attributed to SIDS dropped sharply. In 2012, North Carolina medical examiners blamed just 5 percent of infant deaths on SIDS – down from 27 percent the previous year.
For years, North Carolina has had one of the nation's highest infant mortality rates, due largely to poor health among low-income mothers.
Officials have used cause-of-death statistics to spot trends, allocate resources and address the problem.
Janice Freedman, executive director of the North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation, a Raleigh-based nonprofit dedicated to reducing infant death and illness, said SIDS was used too loosely in the past. The change, she said, should allow public health officials to focus more accurately on preventable deaths.
"We're in a better place than we were 10 years ago," she said. "We are moving in the right direction."

This sample shows how to authenticate with a username/password to Sign-In with Firebase. In this sample we use a basic authentication request with the supplied credentials and if successful create a Firebase Custom Token.

NOTE: [Firebase Authentication](https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/password-auth) can be used for email address/password sign in. This sample specifically addresses the case in which an email address is not used as the unique identifier for a user.

## Set up the sample

Create and set up the Firebase project:
 1. Create a Firebase project using the [Firebase Developer Console](https://console.firebase.google.com).
 1. Enable Billing on your Firebase project by switching to the **Blaze** plan, this is currently needed to be able to perform HTTP requests to external services from a Cloud Function.
 1. Copy the Web initialization snippet from **Firebase Console > Overview > Add Firebase to your web app** and paste it in `public/index.html` in lieu of the placeholder (where the `TODO(DEVELOPER)` is located).

Create and provide a Service Account's credentials:
 1. Create a service account file as described in the [Server SDK setup instructions](https://firebase.google.com/docs/server/setup#add_firebase_to_your_app).
 1. Save the service account credential file as `./functions/service-account.json`

Deploy your project:
 1. Run `firebase use --add` and choose your Firebase project. This will configure the Firebase CLI to use the correct project locally.
 1. Run `firebase deploy` to effectively deploy the sample. The first time the Functions are deployed the process can take several minutes.

## Run the sample

Open the sample's website by using `firebase open hosting:site` or directly accessing `https://<project-id>.firebaseapp.com/`.

Enter credentials and click on the **Sign in** button. At this point you are authenticated in Firebase and can use the database/hosting etc...

## Workflow and design

When clicking the **Sign in** button the `auth` Cloud Function authenticates the username/password then Mints and returns a Firebase Custom Auth token (which is why we need service accounts credentials).

The [httpbin](https://httpbin.org) request & response service is used for the basic authentication request in this example.

The main page will detect the sign-in through the Firebase Auth State observer and display the signed-in user information.

NOTE: In production you'll need to update the placeholder `authenticate` function in `./functions/index.js` so that it authenticates with your own credentials system.

The stock has reduced reproduction potential and is in risk of being harvested unsustainably. The estimated spawning stock shows some increase since 2006.
The EU Norway agreement management plan as updated in December 2008. ICES evaluated the plan in 2009 and concludes it is in accordance with the precautionary approach if implemented and enforced adequately.
Following the transition scheme towards the ICES MSY framework results in landing including unallocated removals of 18 100 t in 2011. Estimated total landings corresponding to the management plan is 32 240 t in 2011 and discards of about 18 000 t. These landings correspond to the maximum reduction (15%) that the plan allows between 2010 to 2011. This reduction in landings is too small to obtain the reduction of F specified in the management plan. Pure precautionary approach considerations implies zero catch.
Data from surveys indicate rather large unaccounted removals. The assessment is considered rather uncertain.

This collage reflects Town's experience of Toronto's multicultural milieu. The body of the monster is made from a "single autographic print" —Town's innovative monotype technique—with torn-off edges, and streamers made from cut-up pieces of a print. Given his free-associative method of generating images at this time, the particular shade of deep red could have triggered Town's memory of a New Year's parade in Chinatown or an elaborate Chinese kite he had admired. The collage has a festive air, with the sky-blue background and the white graffiti-like figure inside the monster. Letter-like scribbles and a heart at left centre also suggest graffiti, while a small red form near the lower right edge suggests an insect or a Chinese inscription.

Arsenal held talks with Lucas Moura, Atletico Madrid now favourites
Nikola Baniček
Lucas Moura is reportedly set to leave Paris Saint-Germain with Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are both interested in his services.
During January, Arsenal reportedly held the talks with Moura regarding a move to the Emirates but the winger decided to stay in Paris.
The Gunners are reportedly still interested in his services but Atletico Madrid have also started negotiations and are now considered to be favourites for his signature.
Diego Simeone is very interested in the 24-year-old Brazilian and he is sure to provide stern competition to any future attempts by Arsenal to lure Moura to London.
Lucas Moura is currently playing his fifth season with PSG, having made 50 appearances in all competitions with an average rating of 7.35 per game.
He's scored 16 goals and made six assists and his main strengths are dribbling, passing, holding the ball and taking set-pieces.
On average, he makes 1.8 dribbles and 1.8 key passes with an average of 81.7% of successful passes per game.
According to transfermarkt.com, Lucas Moura is valued at €37m with a contract until 2019.
This summer is the ideal time for Unai Emery if he wishes to offload the Brazilian as his price is unlikely to get any higher as he comes to the end of his contract.
Moura would prove a very useful signing for the Gunners as he is a natural right winger, a position in Arsenal's squad that needs some serious strengthening.

Street-Corner Justice
Johnny Calderon, Jr. and Gerald Allen
A few feel-good stories…
A recent story making headlines shows the battered faces of Johnny Calderon, Jr. and Gerald Allen. While allegedly attempting to rob two University of Virginia students, the thugs ended up being laid out by their intended victims. Now Allen is in the hospital, and Calderon resides in the Jacksonville, Florida jail. He wants to get out, though—his attorney says that since the botched robbery he has panic attacks and won't pose a danger to anyone else. Let him sweat it out in jail, I'd say.
When Javon Sanchez Booker attempted to rob a Charlotte, North Carolina convenience store, he learned a lesson about preying on people. Unfortunately, he didn't live long enough to put it to use. According to police, Booker's intended victim pulled a gun and dispatched the thug to Hell. Not much else to say on this except lots of future victims will likely be spared.
Syracuse, New York police began searching for Robin Gutheridge after he allegedly robbed the Chase Bank Branch. When he was seen entering an apartment complex, officers fanned out looking for him. Soon screams from a trash compactor on the ground floor sent cops to investigate. Turns out Gutheridge had been attempting to hide and fell 210 feet down the garbage chute. Fortunately, for him, he landed on a pile of trash. Now he lies in a hospital eyeing a bleak future—maybe 20 years in the slammer.
A Texas father, on learning that his five-year-old daughter had been snatched by a sex offender, took matters into his own hands. He found his child, naked and screaming, being assaulted by Jesus Flores. The father then attacked Flores, beating him to death. Texas authorities refused to charge the father. Many dads say they would do the same.
In Tobyhanna Township, Pennsylvania, four intruders began shooting up the home they invaded. "Where's the money at?" they shouted at frightened residents. They got no money, but did score a couple of cell phones. In the melee, one robber got more than he bargained for—a cohort accidently shot Jehova Maldonado in the head. The suspects were quickly arrested. When he gets out of the hospital, Maldonado will be charged with robbery, burglary, trespassing, aggravated assault, conspiracy, theft, and possession of instruments of crime.
Sometimes you wonder why these people don't simply go out and find a job.
Danzele Johnson
Crimes and Consequences
At 2:30 p.m., Rodney Scott, who was taking a nap, awoke to the sound of a loud bang. In a police affidavit, he stated that his house felt as if it were "shuddering." Arming himself with a 9mm handgun and his cell phone, Scott rushed downstairs. There he encountered Blake Layman, 16, Jose Quiroz, 17, Anthony Sharp, 18, and 21-year-old Danzele Johnson. (Another conspirator, Levi Sparks, 17, waited on the porch of a house across the street to act as a lookout.)
Scott, on seeing four strangers in his residence, opened fire. Two intruders fled into a bedroom, while a third ran into the kitchen and out the back door. Amid the chaos, Scott called 9-1-1. As he attempted to hold the two intruders who had run into the bedroom for police, Quiroz bolted from a closet and jumped out a window.
Officers of the Elkhart Police Department responded to the scene. Chasing down Quiroz, they arrested him. Inside the home, they discovered Johnson's body. They also found Layman, who had a bullet wound to his leg—he was transferred to a local hospital, treated, released, and then arrested.
In custody, Quiroz was soon replicating canary-speak. According to police reports, he told investigators that the robbers "did not believe anyone was home and the homeowner had some gold they could steal." Describing the break-in, Quiroz stated that Danzele Johnson kicked in the back door and the others followed him inside. He said Anthony Sharp carried a .22-caliber pistol, and that he and Layman armed themselves with steak knives from the kitchen.
Investigators ruled that Scott had acted in self-defense and would face no charges.
However, that was not the case with Quiroz, Sharp, Layman, and Sparks. Since Johnson had died as a result of the botched burglary, prosecutor Curtis Hill charged the four surviving home invaders with murder. In Indiana, suspects can be charged with felony murder if someone (even a cohort) is killed during the commission of a felony.
Quiroz pled guilty to second degree murder and received a sentence of 45 years.
Family members of the remaining suspects started an aggressive campaign to get the murder charges dropped. A petition by the family of Blake Laymen laid out their case: On October 3rd police contend that five teenagers broke into the residence of Rodney Scott, operating under the belief that he was not home. When Scott heard noises he armed himself with a gun, called 911, and confronted the teenagers. He fired shots at them. In response, the teens attempted to escape from the home, including one who jumped through a window to avoid being shot. Scott injured one teen and killed the oldest member of the group –21-year-old Danzele Johnson.
As a result of this incident, the prosecutor of Elkhart County, Curtis Hill, is holding all of the surviving teens responsible for felony murder. Felony murder is treated exactly as first degree premeditated murder except there is no requirement for the prosecution to prove the person charged had any intention of committing murder.
The problem here is that these teenagers did not commit murder. Their friend was killed as a result of the alleged break in, but these teenagers are being held accountable for this death as though they planned it and committed it themselves. The consequences for this could be as harsh as life without any possibility of parole.
This is not justice.
As the family of 16-year-old Blake Layman, who is facing the charge of felony murder and was himself wounded by one of the gunshots, we are asking that some common sense and reason be applied in this situation. Blake has no criminal record. He and the other teenagers involved are not throwaway children. They did not commit a murder. They should not be facing a charge of murder. The only message this sends is that communities place no value on children and teenagers and are completely unwilling to impose appropriate consequences for mistakes that are made. Exposing these teenagers to life sentences, as adults (which they are not), is not the answer. The adult prison system is not equipped to rehabilitate and this is proven based on many studies, conducted over many years.
We, the undersigned, are asking that Prosecutor Hill reconsider his stance on this case and drop the charge of felony murder. Felony murder is an outdated, archaic, and unconstitutional law. A number of states have abolished it completely for these very reasons…
These teenagers deserve a second chance and felony murder is NOT the appropriate charge.
Even though the petition garnered nearly 2,000 signatures, it was a tough sell. Prosecutor Hill never wavered in his determination to try the suspects for murder.
Last week, on August 21, 2013, a jury found all three defendants, Blake Layman, Anthony Sharp, and Levi Sparks, guilty of "felony murder." (When sentenced, they face long prison sentences.) Family and friends sobbed and screamed in disbelief. Defense attorney Vincent Campiti called it "a shocking verdict."
Hill replied: "The verdict, I believe, was appropriate. It was a very difficult case, a very important case because it does send a message to those that committed the crime."
"The Great Philadelphia Lawyer"
Documentary of a song
Okay, I realize there's a limited audience for this story.
I grew up listening to country music when I was a boy. Back then it was called hillbilly music, and it wasn't always pretty. But the lyrics were real and genuine, unlike today's pseudo-country garbage. This song, "The Great Philadelphia Lawyer," pokes fun at shysters—the term itself, Philadelphia Lawyer, is a "disparaging label for an attorney who is skillful in the manipulation of the technicalities and intricacies of the law to the advantage of his or her client, although the spirit of the law might be violated." (The Free Dictionary)
The words of the song were penned by Woody Guthrie. The tune mimicked an old murder ballad called "The Jealous Lover." Rose Maddox first recorded "The Great Philadelphia Lawyer," and, in my opinion, her version is the best.
The Maddox family had been sharecroppers in Boaz, Alabama during the Depression. Rose was eleven when the family packed up and moved to California. In a radio interview, she described the journey: "Cotton prices failed in Alabama. So we left for California, the Land of Milk and Honey... We only had $35 when we left there, and a dream of going to California. That was my mother's dream. Hitchhiking. All of us. Five kids.... The brakemen helped us get on the right trains and they got us food from the caboose. Sometimes the brakemen locked us in the boxcars and told us to be quiet.... We got to Los Angeles, California, in 1933."
Rose's father found work in Modesto, and the family settled there. With her brothers, Rose began playing music on local radio stations. Eventually, they landed a recording contract. Because of their success in hillbilly music, the Maddox family was able to rise from the grinding poverty they'd experienced for much of their lives.
The "Great Philadelphia Lawyer" tells the story of a great man who falls in love with a married woman. The lyrics drip with dead-pan humor, as well as dark, raw, emotions. The climax is understated to the extreme.
If you like this sort of thing the way I do, enjoy!

Lyrics by Woodie Guthrie
(Original Title: Reno Blues)
Way out in Reno, Nevada
Where romance blooms and fades,
A great Philadelphia lawyer
Was in love with a Hollywood maid.
"Come, love and we'll go ramblin'
Down where the lights are so bright.
I'll win you a divorce from your husband
And we can get married tonight."
Wild Bill was a gun-totin' cowboy,
Ten notches were carved in his gun
And all the boys around Reno
Left Wild Bill's maiden alone.
One night when Bill was returning
From ridin' the range in the cold,
He dreamed of his Hollywood sweetheart
Whose love was as lasting as gold.
As he drew near to her window,
Two shadows he saw on the shade.
It was the great Philadelphia lawyer
Makin' love to Bill's Hollywood maid.
The night was as still as the desert,
The moon hangin' high overhead.
Bill listened awhile through the window
He could hear every word that he said
"Your hands are so pretty and lovely,
Your form is so rare and divine.
Come go with me to the city
And leave this wild cowboy behind."
Now tonight back in old Pennsylvania,
Among those beautiful pines,
There's one less Philadelphia lawyer
In old Philadelphia tonight.
FBI Requests Public's Assistance Concerning Israel Keyes
Mary Rook, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for the state of Alaska, requests the public's assistance in developing information concerning the travels of suspected serial killer Israel Keyes, deceased, in order to identify additional victims. Anyone with information concerning Keyes is encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
Based upon investigation conducted following his arrest in March 2012, Israel Keyes is believed to have committed multiple kidnappings and murders across the country between 2001 and March 2012. Keyes lived in Washington from 2001 to March 2007, at which time he moved to Alaska. While living in Alaska, Keyes worked as a general contractor but traveled extensively. In a series of interviews with law enforcement, Keyes described significant planning and preparation for his murders, reflecting a meticulous and organized approach to his crimes. It was not unusual for Keyes to fly into an airport, rent a car, and drive hundreds of miles to his final destination. This was the case in the murder of Bill and Loraine Currier, where Keyes flew into Chicago, rented a car, and drove across several states before arriving in Essex, Vermont. After the murder of the Curriers, Keyes continued his travels on the East Coast before returning to Chicago and then to Alaska.
Keyes admitted responsibility for robbing several banks during this time frame, two of which investigators have corroborated. Keyes used the proceeds from his bank robberies to pay for his travel, along with money he made as a general contractor. Keyes also admitted traveling to various locations to leave supplies he planned to use in a future crime. Keyes buried caches throughout the United States. The FBI has recovered two caches buried by Keyes—one in Eagle River, Alaska, and one near Blakes Falls Reservoir in New York. The caches contained weapons and other items used to dispose of bodies. Keyes indicated the other caches he buried throughout the U.S. contain weapons, money, and items used to dispose of victims.
Investigators believe that Keyes did not know any of his victims prior to their abductions. He described several remote locations that he frequented to look for victims—parks, campgrounds, trailheads, cemeteries, boating areas, etc. Keyes also told investigators that prior to the Currier case, his victims' disappearances received little if any media coverage. Based on his own research, Keyes stated that one of his victims has been recovered but authorities ruled the death accidental. Investigators have not identified this victim or where this crime occurred.
Keyes admitted to murdering four people in Washington; he killed two people (independent of each other) sometime during 2005 and 2006 and murdered a couple in Washington between 2001 and 2005. It is unknown if these victims were residents of Washington or if they were vacationing in Washington but resided in another state. It is also possible Keyes abducted them from a nearby state and transported them to Washington.
Additionally, Keyes admitted to investigators that in 2009 he murdered a victim on the East Coast and disposed of the body in New York state. Based on Keyes' statements, investigators believe Keyes abducted the victim from a surrounding state and transported him/her to New York.
The timeline below is an outline of Keyes' travels and whereabouts throughout the United States from 2001 to present. Due to Keyes' pattern of traveling significant distances by car, the locations are grouped by region rather than specific states.

The Unsolved Short Family Murders
Eleven years and counting….
In Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Joseph E. Duncan murdered a mother and father so he could kidnap their two young children. Escaping with his victims into the Montana wilderness, Duncan spent months torturing and raping Dylan and Shasta Groene. Eventually, the serial killer shot-gunned Dylan to death. Shasta was rescued and Duncan, convicted of several murders, received the death penalty.
In a more recent case, James Lee DiMaggio is accused of murdering the family of sixteen-year-old Hannah Anderson. After kidnapping Hannah, DiMaggio fled to Idaho where he died in a shootout with police. Hannah, still alive, was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.
Did someone murder Michael and Mary Frances Short in order to abduct their nine-year-old daughter, Jennifer?
It was on August 15, 2002 that investigators learned the child had gone missing. Her parents lay dead in their Bassett, Virginia home, shot to death as they slept.
So where was Jennifer?
An FBI flyer described her: "Jennifer appeared to be a happy little girl experiencing a normal childhood. She was an excellent student and actively involved in organized sports." She had no known enemies, and lived in a quiet, if modest, home.
Her parents owned a company that moved house trailers. An employee of M. S. Mobile Home Movers who stopped by the house to check in for work discovered the bodies. Michael Short, sleeping in the garage, had been murdered by a single small-caliber gunshot to the head. He likely never knew what hit him. Mary lay in her bed, also executed with a head-shot.
There was no sign of forcible entry, although the telephone line had been cut.
On September 25, Jennifer's skeletonized remains were located 50 miles away in Rockingham County, North Carolina. She, too, had died of a single gunshot wound to the head.
In eleven years, few clues have surfaced. Police have investigated several possibilities. Did the family have unknown enemies who wanted them dead? Since their home had recently been put up for sale, did someone posing as a customer murder the family? Michael sometimes hired day laborers, including illegal immigrants, and paid them in cash—did a former employee commit the murders?
One scenario is that a pedophile targeted the family, and that the object of the murders was to abduct little Jennifer. If so, she was likely sexually assaulted before being killed.
The FBI released the following information about a possible suspect: "During the early morning hours of August 15, 2002, an unidentified male was observed sitting in a vehicle along U.S. Highway 220 in the vicinity of the Shorts' Oak Level, Henry County, Virginia, residence. Investigators are seeking information regarding this individual and/or vehicle. The unknown vehicle…is described as a 1998-2002, white, single-cab, two-ton flatbed stake body truck with wooden rails. Below is an artist's depiction of this vehicle." A composite sketch of the occupant of the vehicle is also shown below.
If you know this person, or have any information about this case, please call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.
Suspect and Truck Seen Near Short Residence

Should the NFL Babysit Players?
Millionaire thugs play football and kill people
Maybe Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is onto something. After the troubled career of Dez Bryant culminated in his arrest for beating up his mother, Jones hired a "live-in" baby-sitter to keep him out of trouble.
That might be an alternative the National Football League could consider for its overpaid and under-virtuous minions.
Many who followed the University of Florida during the Tim Tebow era knew Aaron Hernandez would one day land in jail. It was precisely because of "character issues" that the talented tight end slipped from first round to the fourth round in the 2010 NFL draft. Trouble seemed to hang around Hernandez like smoke from a marijuana cigarette.
According to several NFL scouts, the former Gator failed numerous drug tests while in college. "He's either dumb or addicted," one scout said.
Now that North Attleboro police have arrested Hernandez and charged him with the first degree murder of Odin Lloyd, maybe a babysitting service for players is in order. Former Denver Broncos general manager Ted Lundquist seems to agree. "It's better to have a system in place that can monitor or check that guy, a security firm that is part of these guys' lives, not just vetting them," he said. "The [NFL is] tied to the hip with these guys. I think that investment is well worth it."
The league, of course, minimizes the wrong-doing of its hired guns. A spokesperson recently cited FBI statistics to show that arrest rates for NFL players is less than the general public. But Jeff Benedict, author of Pros and Cons: The Criminals Who Play in The NFL, refutes that argument: "The danger of doing comparisons with the general public is [that] if you look at these people and their backgrounds, how many of those guys who have been arrested in the FBI numbers have been to college, make a lot of money like NFL players do, and live in safe, good neighborhoods? The issue is why any of these guys are doing this when they have all these good things going on in their lives."
Exactly. The public looks at Aaron Hernandez' mansion, his seemingly endless supply of expensive automobiles, and his $45 million contract—then people wonder why he can't stay out of trouble. Why in the world would you go around shooting people, as Hernandez is alleged to have done?
In the last year, dozens of NFL players have been arrested, some for horrendous crimes.
So as the new 2013 NFL season begins, watch your favorite team and root for your favorite players.
But don't get too enamored with any particular guy.
He just might end up in the slammer.

Flying Squirrels celebrate five seasons in Richmond
By Kevin Reichard on November 7, 2013 in Minor-League Baseball, News
It seems like the move happened only yesterday, as the Richmond Flying Squirrels (Class AA; Eastern League) are marking their fifth season at The Diamond with a series of events and a commemorative logo.
The logo, which was designed by Brandiose, will be incorporated by the team in a variety of ways throughout the 2014 season. It features aspects of the Flying Squirrels image integrated with the Richmond skyline. It will appear on Flying Squirrels printed publications and marketing initiatives, throughout The Diamond, and on a special line of 5th-season apparel and memorabilia.
"It's hard for us to believe that this will be our fifth season in Richmond," said Flying Squirrels Vice President & COO Todd "Parney" Parnell. "It seems like yesterday we were walking through The Diamond for the first time simply dreaming about what we could potentially build here. It is very important for us to celebrate what we have been able to accomplish at the ballpark, and in the community, with the tremendous fans that have made it all possible."
Fans will get their first look at the new logo at the 5th Annual Ballpark Warming Party on Saturday, November 9. The logo will appear on the front cover of the 2014 Early Bird Pocket Schedule, presented by Verizon Wireless. It will also be featured prominently on the 2014 poster and magnet schedules. Additionally, the Squirrels' 2014 Team Calendar will feature a 5th season theme, highlighting a number of the players and moments that have made the team's first four years in Richmond remarkable.
Also included in the team's plans are a series of 5th Season giveaway items, which will be a part of the most expansive entertainment and promotional calendar to date. The Squirrels are also working with Brandiose to create a new "FS" logo as well as character artwork for their newest mascots, Victor the Viking and Captain RVA.
"We will always strive to keep things fresh and new, while maintaining the core beliefs and community commitment that are fans have come to expect," added Parnell. "We know they are really going to enjoy the new looks, events and overall celebratory atmosphere of the season."

"Leaving Earth is one of the best and certainly the most comprehensive summary of our drive into space that I have ever read. It will be invaluable to future scholars because it will tell them how the next chapter of human history opened." -- Arthur C. Clarke
Orbit of pristine comet in outer solar system is shifting inward
November 27, 2020 10:43 am Robert Zimmerman
The orbit of a pristine comet that until now has kept it in the outer solar system, where it never got warm enough shed any material, is now shifting inward to join what is dubbed the Jupiter-family of comets, whose orbits are generally within that of Jupiter.
Although it has likely lost some supervolatile ices such as carbon dioxide ice (also known as dry ice) in the outer solar system beyond Jupiter, it is unlikely to have ever been in the inner solar system (where Earth, the other rocky planets, and [Jupiter-family comets] orbit), which is warm enough for water ice to sublime ('evaporate' from solid to gas)," Steckloff said. "This means that [Comet 2019] LD2 is a pristine comet, and presents a unique opportunity to observe how pristine [Jupiter-family comets] behave as their water ice begins to sublime for the first time and drive comet activity. Moreover, this transition is likely to finish in only 40 years from now, which is a blink of an eye for astronomy. This means that people alive today will be able to follow this object all the way through its transition into the [Jupiter-family] population."
In 2019, when 2019 L2 was first identified, it was thought to be an asteroid that had suddenly become active, like a comet. Astronomers soon realized this was a mistake, that it was a comet whose orbit was being changed by its interaction with Jupiter.
The new data refines this conclusion, and confirms that observations of 2019 L2 will provide a lot of information about the make-up of the early solar system. More important, the comet's orbit will allow for many observations, over a long period of time, unlike most comets that zip around the Sun in a year or so and then are gone.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.

So now I stand on earthside shore,

Robin Street Market - The Market Blog: Another Sun Rising Show!
Hanky Fever Takes Over The Nest!
Feathered Find Of The Day!
You may remember our little blog post back in August about a show called Sun Rising - a show that pays tribute to Sun Records in Memphis and the amazing artists that recorded there in the 50s. Well, the first show at the Toff ended up being a sensational night and the exciting news is that there is another show at the Northcote Social Club tomorrow night. So, if you are a Melburnian I highly recommend you come along for a night of great music and interesting stories about the little recording studio in Memphis that had such a huge impact on the music industry. More details about the show over at their Facebook page. Hope to see you there!
