A woman wearing a trench coat outside Gulf Breeze High School was arrested Monday after police found she had brought two guns and a knife to campus.
Judy Hall's arrest came on the 10-year anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings that left 12 students and a teacher dead in suburban Denver. The two students who carried out the massacre were dressed in trench coats.
Police are not sure why Hall, 61, brought the guns to campus on the anniversary of the Columbine shootings.
"The mother did not identify that she was trying to make a connection to Columbine," Gulf Breeze Police Chief Peter Paulding said. "But it did involve a trench coat and guns, and this is the 10th anniversary."
Hall of Finch Drive in Gulf Breeze was booked into Santa Rosa County Jail on Monday on charges of carrying a concealed gun, bringing a gun to a school, and resisting arrest without violence. She still was in custody Monday night.
No one was injured at Gulf Breeze High, and no weapons were fired in the incident.
Paulding said Hall was arrested after going to the school to talk with Gulf Breeze school resource officer Kerstan Tatro about an incident at the school Friday involving Hall's son, who is a freshman.
Hall was concerned about some students confronting her son about postings he allegedly made on the Web sites YouTube and MySpace that made reference to students at the school being hurt, according to a police report.
"The rumor was he was posting a hit list," Paulding said. "I believe it is unlikely it would have been up for that length of time and someone would not have caught it."
Paulding said the department checked both Web sites and could not find any postings about Gulf Breeze students. The last time Hall's son logged into his MySpace account was Jan. 6, the chief said.
Trench coat
After Tatro initially met Hall in the school parking lot Monday morning, he told her to meet him in his office to discuss her concerns. At the time, she was not wearing a trench coat, according to a police report.
Later, from his office window, Tatro saw Hall put on a trench coat. Paulding said it appeared that Hall's son tried to talk to his mother out what she was doing.
Tatro immediately left his office to confront Hall after seeing her put on the trench coat. Tatro approached Hall in the parking lot and the two started discussing the Internet posting rumor, the report said.
The officer told Hall the rumor came up Friday, but it did not concern her son. Tatro told Hall that a student with a similar name to her son's was the subject of the Internet rumors, according to a police report.
Hall told the officer that "anyone could walk in the school with a trench coat on and a gun in their pocket and start killing people," Gulf Breeze police said in a news release.
Hall then told the officer that she had a handgun in her coat pocket. Tatro searched her and found an unloaded .22-caliber gun.
The officer also found a folding knife on Hall, police said.
Other officers went to the school to help Tatro, and a loaded .380-caliber gun was found in Hall's truck. Hall's home was searched, and two handguns, two rifles and a shotgun were found, police said.
Students on edge
The incident had parents and students worried about safety at the school.
About 170 students were checked out of school by parents Monday, said Becky Brown, assistant principal for student services. The school has about 1,500 students.
Denice Brown picked up her son at his request. Brown's 16-year-old son is a friend of Hall's son, and he was upset.
"We know the family and don't know what brought (Hall) to this point," Brown said. "This is not a part of her normal character."
Doris Platt received an e-mail about the incident from Gulf Breeze middle and high schools. She has children who attend both schools.
"I wonder what the lady was thinking," she said. "I understand you want to prove a point, but this is not the way to go about it."
Initially, sophomore Casey Platt, thought talk of the incident was a joke.
"Then, I was kind of scared," she said. "People were saying random stuff, but the teachers talked to us about it and said everything was OK. Then, I was at ease."
Gulf Breeze High School Principal Sylvan Ladner said in his 35 years with the school this was the first time he recalls a parent being arrested for having a gun on campus.
"Our school is safe, and we are always looking for measures to make it even safer," he said. "Most of our exterior doors are kept locked from the start of first-period class until the afternoon."

GUN STORES RUN SHORT
AMMO SHORTAGE .380 AUTO
http://www.weartv.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wear_vid_914.shtml
PENSACOLA- Its getting harder to bear arms…
Guns and ammunition are flying off the shelves at local stores.
Business owners say it’s been happening ever since the new administration took office.
First on 3 Channel Three’s Grace White shows us what one local shop is doing to make up for the shortfall.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “It’s hard to find ammunition, it’s hard to find some of these weapons, I’ve got people calling me up saying I can’t find it… can you help me?”
Larry Blackburn says he’s been ordering supplies daily to keep up with demand.
At ammunition sales…Blackburn’s local shop… Sales have quadrupoled since last year.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “You can thank President Obama for that, he’s the best salesman I never had to employ.”
Though the Obama Administration has introduced no legislation… Just the possibility is enough to make some people buy.
Ed Kessler, Gun owner: “I think people are nervous about the new administration and what is going to happen with gun control laws.”
“Everyone is in an uproar right now, they are buying guns, they are buying ammunition, but they don’t know what for.”
The most common type of handgun used for self defense… Blackburn says is a 380 automatic handgun.
Grace White, Reporter: “Since 380 ammunition is out of stock, this local gun shop is selling people the parts so they can make this on their own.”
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “You threaten to take something away from somebody, they get upset and they buy everything they can get and that’s whats happened.”
It’s a solution that allows blackburn to keep a steady stream of sales and provide customers with what they want.
In Pensacola Grace White Channel Three News.
Larry Blackburn, Ammunition Sales: “If he would back off his stance on gun control and all this regulation, sells would settle back down to normal, but right now they are off the scale.”
We did check with another local gun shop who had 380 in stock… But they said you’ll pay a higher price for it than you did a few months ago.

Scientists, this is your future research partner. A 'Robot Scientist' named Adam has been created and the group behind it believe it is the first machine to have independently discovered new scientific knowledge. Adam is a computer system that fully automates the scientific process.
The scientists at Aberystwyth University and the University of Cambridge designed Adam to carry out each stage of the scientific process automatically without the need for further human intervention. The robot has discovered simple but new scientific knowledge about the genomics of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an organism that scientists use to model more complex life systems. The researchers have used separate manual experiments to confirm that Adam's hypotheses were both novel and correct.
Prof Ross King, who led the research at Aberystwyth University, said: "Ultimately we hope to have teams of human and robot scientists working together in laboratories. Because biological organisms are so complex it is important that the details of biological experiments are recorded in great detail. This is difficult and irksome for human scientists, but easy for Robot Scientists."
Using artificial intelligence, Adam hypothesized that certain genes in baker's yeast code for specific enzymes which catalyse biochemical reactions in yeast. The robot then devised experiments to test these predictions, ran the experiments using laboratory robotics, interpreted the results and repeated the cycle. Adam is a still a prototype, but Prof King's team believe that their next robot, Eve, holds great promise for scientists searching for new drugs to combat diseases such as malaria and schistosomiasis, an infection caused by a type of parasitic worm in the tropics. Prof King continued: "If science was more efficient it would be better placed to help solve society's problems. One way to make science more efficient is through automation. Automation was the driving force behind much of the 19th and 20th century progress, and this is likely to continue." Prof Douglas Kell, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Chief Executive, which funded the research, said: "Computers play a fundamental role in the scientific process, which is becoming increasingly automated, for instance in drug design and DNA sequencing. This has led to more scientific data, increasingly available on the web, which in turn requires an increased use of computers to analyse these data. Robot scientists could provide a useful tool for managing such data and knowledge, making scientific procedures easier and more efficient. This kind of learning will become even more important as we move further towards integrative and predictive biology in the era of Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web."

March 23, 2009 - Saw a diamond shape craft with 8 lights hovering. I was driving home from work and saw out of the corner of my eye a low flying craft. I turned my head quick to look at it thinking that I was going to see a plane crash and noticed that it was not an airplane. I was just east of WalMart on highway 98 in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The craft was hovering just above the trees maybe 50 yards away from me. I was so startled that I had to pull off the side of the road. I watched it for about 3 minutes. It had eight lights. They were shaped like a diamond. Four lights made up a small diamond that was surrounded by four more lights that made up a bigger diamond around it. It just hovered there in the sky not moving. I also noticed that it was not making any noise. I had the windows down in my car and I could not hear anything. After a few minutes it just diappeared. I thought that maybe I had blinked and missed it, but I could not find it anywhere in the sky. I know that it was definitely not any kind of airplane that I had ever seen or heard of before.
March 12, 2009 - one larger ufo with three smaller ufos about 1/4 mile in front i was headed down interstate 95 towards orlando when i saw a large craft just sitting in the sky with different colors and different lighting patterns underneath. i scanned the sky to see if there were more. i then saw three seperate small lights/orbs . the fronts of these three circles starting pulsating and reminded me of a jellyfish. the highway was loaded with cars and yet nobody slowed down or stopped (myself included) to get a better look or take pictures. my thoughts were, this was some kind of stunt because the large ship reminded me of an episode of star trek classic where a klingon or was it romulan vessel decloaked,and that is what this circle (underneath) looked like. i just kept driving down interstate 95.
March 14, 2009 - Saw small spherical orb-shaped UFO while coming in for landing at Orlando International Airport on Air Tran flight 823 I was flying from Chicago to Orlando, FL on
March 14, 2009 on Air Tran flight 823. During our final descent I noticed a small, dull silver colored spherical orb in the air below the plane on the left. The object caught my eye because of its gray color and perfectly round shape. The object was at less than half the altitude of the plane. I noticed it, saw it disappear behind the wing and reappear on the other side before leaving my range of sight out of the plane's window. The object was moving in the opposite direction of our plane, slightly faster than our plane's speed. At first I thought it was a power line with some sort of identifying object, but saw no other orbs or power lines. My next thought was that it was a bird, but I later saw a bird flying below our plane. The bird was traveling in the same direction and at approximately the same altitude as the object and it was easily recognizable as a bird. After the sighting I tried to explain to myself what I had seen, but no explanation came to mind. Later seeing a bird which looked very different confirmed that I had seen something unusual and unexplainable. The object was definitely in the air and looked unusual enough for me to want to report it.
March 17, 2009 - Lights would appear then separate into two to three lights then fade out. While staying at St. George Island Fl. Each night about 9pm while watching the stars we started to see orange lights appear. Sometimes the lights would split into two, one traveling east and climbing to a higher altitude then disapearing while the other staied fixed on the horizon and disapearing at the same time the other one did. Sometimes the lites would apear and then fade out. On several occasion we would hear jets flying out over head. Knowing of the Air Force bases close by we didn't know if there were military excersizes out over the gulf or were they chasing the lights. The lights looked like orange flares but traveled horazontaly and climbed never falling to earth as flares do.
March 23, 2009 - Spiral of lights glowing at 1-3 sec durations with lights brightening and dimmming from tail to center. I was sitting on my back porch, which faces east, at my home on Nine Mile Road and Ashland Rd. in Pensacola, FL. A Navy base and a regional airport are located near my home. Airline and Helicopter traffic at night is common in the eastern pensacola sky. At approx 8:30pm A "spiral", for lack of better term, of lights began glowing a very bright red-orange in the east sky. This was not a helicopter or plane. It would glow for approx 1 - 4 sec then fade out from tail to the center of the "spiral". I called into the house for my wife to come out and see, which she did. The event lasted for approx 3 mins. with 10 - 30 secs in between appearances of the "spiral" in different configurations and also bouncing left and right in the sky from one appearance to another.
March 23, 2009 - Sighted object coming home from Pensacola Beach going home in Gulf Breeze. Coming home from Pensacola beach, I spotted three lights in a row. The object seemed to turn and then it appeared to be triangular with more lights. The lights would stay on 3-4 seconds and then disappear. The object did not appear to be moving, so I assumed it was not an airplane or helicopter. I kept watching as we were driving accross the bridge and the object did not appear to move. I wached the lights go on and off in the same pattern at least 4-5 times. As we reached the end of the bridge and turned on HWY 98 toward Navarre, we looked to our left and the same lights and pattern appeared on the left side of HWY 98 totally opposite the side of the road we had seen it before. This time it seemed to be moving back accross HWY 98 back toward the water. It moved across, in front, above us, and lower behind trees. We were in a Jeep with no windows, but heard no noise what so ever. After arriving home in Midway, we looked in the sky and could see what seemed to be puffy small smoke-like clouds above us, but the rest of the sky was totally clear. Shortly afterwards we saw and heard several military helicopters going toward where we last saw the object. We were totally amazed as we continued to rule out the possibility of planes, copters, flares, ect. We came to the conclusion there was nothing we knew that could exhibit such unusual patterns of movement and light display.
March 23, 2009 - Red-orange floating dots. in washington highschool in pensacola florida a fire alarm went off with out cause causing many people to come out. now it was around 8:30 so there wasnt very many people in the school other than janitors and orchestra practice students. when every one was out side we heard emergency response vehicles coming toward us but they circled around us torward the airport which was very strange, we were sure they were coming in response to the fire alarm. we looked toward the airport and saw orange red lights that would appear for about 4 seconds and dissapear and appear to the right about 10 - 30 seconds later. it did this about two times when a helicopter over passed us extremely close to the ground for just a helicopter to be flying around. the helicopter made a L shaped turn towards the lights.the lights appeared and dissapeared about 8 times.the helicopter then went around the area we first saw the lights.then about 2-3 min later we were facing the complete opposite direction, 180 degrees the other way and we saw the lights appear and reappear about twice and stopped for the rest of the night. pretty soon after words there was about 3-5 helicopters flying around all of the areas we had just sighted the flying dots. this was all in pensacola florida.right after the fire alarm went off, we heard a loud bass sound for about 30 second to a minute. after the dots dissapeared a large cloud seemed to cover that area.
March 23, 2009 - Red lights in the night sky. Just over Cordova Mall near the Pensacola Airport, about four or five red lights appeared in the night sky after a fire alarm went off at Washington High School. Several people exited the building and noticed the lights in the sky. Shortly after, several helicopters and emergency sirens could be heard in the area, but not sure if they were responding to the lights. The lights faded out, then reappear in random locations in the sky several (more than five) times. My son caught it on his phone camera, so it's kind of hard to see. At about the middle of the video you can make out a light at the center of the screen. They were joking about what they thought they might be seeing, but then quickly got excited and nervous at the thought that it really could be a UFO. The ringing noise on the video is the fire alarm from the school, but the kids say that they heard a low pitch noise--a "boom"--that continued to hum for about a minute after. We contacted local media and authorities, but no one seems to be able to explain it.
March 23, 2009 - Thought they were fireworks!
My brother and I were riding in the car and we saw what looked like very low flying planes, until it disappeared and reappeared. There were 5 lights that would fade and disappear and then reappear and stay lit for about 5 seconds and disappear again. This continued on and we tried to follow it (heading south on Log Lake Rd. until we got to Guest? Lake) to find out what the lights were. We stopped at a good place to view the lights in front of a house where the residents were looking at the lights, too. The round lights were about the color of the orange-yellow of common street lamps and we decided they weren't fireworks, flares, helicopters, or airplanes. We live very close to Eglin AFB's and Duke Field's outlying land. I took my brother home (the opposite way we were following the phenomena) and when I came back to jump on the interstate (I-10), there were several emergency response teams coming from that way. I couldn't make out what types of response vehicles they were, though. It's a SUPER rural area, so there's nothing back there for 6 or 7 such vehicles to come from. There was no sound with this...happening. Bizarre!
"The Kindle, which lets users download books over Sprint Nextel Corp.’s network, has done a 'phenomenal job' and AT&T wants to be part of that market, Glenn Lurie, head of emerging devices at AT&T, said today."
Verizon has also expressed interest in entering the e-reader fray, saying it had been approached by five (undisclosed) companies interested in a wireless connection like that of the Kindle.
The takeaway: AT&T's netbook announcement, along with an earlier one from Verizon, suggests these tiny laptops are increasingly being positioned as much as an additional mobile network-connected device as a supplemental computer.
It's unclear if the AT&T exec's remarks on e-readers are anything more than an off-the-cuff response to the success of the Kindle. But the notion of another carrier joining Sprint—the carrier the Kindle uses—in the e-book business is intriguing. Wireless access to content is one of the most compelling aspects of the Kindle, giving it the edge over competitors like the Sony Reader (which we’ve covered in the past). The other is access to the huge library of e-content—Amazon's 250,000 Kindle titles in the case of the Kindle. And to offer a compelling option to the Kindle, AT&T, Verizon, or any other carrier, will need to find a content partner with a competitive library. It isn't immediately clear who might be able to offer that (perhaps other than Sony, with its Reader library).
s. The Chinese have been particularly active, a former U.S. security official told Reuters. "They are all over the place," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They're getting into university systems, contractor systems, hacking government systems. There's no reason to think that the electrical system would be immune as well. " Eric Rosenbach, executive director for research at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government's Belfer Center, said that if true, it showed that the Chinese and Russians are thinking strategically about how to either constrain the United States or inflict more damage if they ever felt they needed to do so. 'POTENTIAL WEAKNESS' "I think that China recognizes if in a very strategic sense you want to ensure you have the ability to exploit another country's potential weakness or vulnerability but do it in a way that isn't confrontational or cause an international crisis, then this is a very good way of doing that," he said.
President Barack Obama, aware of the concerns about the vulnerability of infrastructure, has launched a cyber review that is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. "The president takes the issue of cybersecurity very seriously, which is why he ordered a top-to-bottom review shortly after taking office," said White House spokesman Nick Shapiro. He said the White House was not aware of "any disruptions to the power grid caused by deliberate cyber-activity here in the United States. " "The Department of Homeland Security works with industry to identify vulnerabilities and to help industry enhance the security of control system networks. The federal government is also working to ensure that security is built in as we develop the next generation of 'smart grid' networks," Shapiro said. Mississippi Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, said he would introduce legislation to address the grid's vulnerability to cyber-attack. "Our electric system is critical to our way of life, and we cannot afford to leave it vulnerable to attack. Our oversight indicates there is a significant gap in current regulation to effectively secure this infrastructure," he said. The United States is not alone. CIA analyst Tom Donahue told a power-industry conference last year that "we have information from multiple regions outside the United States, of cyber-intrusion into utilities followed by extortion demands. " The North American Electric Reliability Corp, the industry group with responsibility for grid reliability and security for the United States and Canada, said it was unaware of any cyber-attacks that have led to disruptions of electric service. The group
has been working for several years with the industry to create and implement cybersecurity measures. "NERC and industry leaders are taking steps in the right direction to improve preparedness and response to potential cyberthreats," the group said. "There is definitely more to be done. " American Electric Power Co spokeswoman Melissa McHenry said the utility takes security and reliability of the grid seriously. "We long ago identified that there are numerous scans and probes of our networks from external sources and have put in place a very comprehensive multilayered security system to protect it from internal and external intrusion attempts," she said. Still, she said, "We realize that there are no guarantees that you can always be completely safe from a cyber-attack. We continually monitor the effectiveness of our systems and seek to enhance them. "

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) (also referred to locally as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)) is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
As well as providing a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease, BCAM is also a prime opportunity to remind women to be breast aware for earlier detection

Throughout NBCAM's history, Program Leaders have developed many creative ways to reach women. These items provide BRIGHT IDEAS to reach women in the clinic, at the workplace, and in the community. Some of these ideas may work for you or inspire new thoughts. NBCAM's educational campaign, "Pass the Word," consists of communication initiatives to facilitate a woman's decision to engage in early detection of breast cancer. As program leaders, you can help women and the community understand the importance of a triad of behaviors that includes mammography screening, clinical breast exams performed by health care providers, and breast self-examination.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (AP) ? Patients and doctors at a hospital atLake Tahoe had a bit of a scare last week when a bear paid a visit.
The California black bear strolled through the first set of automatic sliding glass doors at Barton Memorial Hospital's main entrance.
The hospital's surveillance cameras caught the bear on film. Once the animal came upon the second set of automatic doors it became spooked and headed the other direction.
Ironically, at the front of the hospital stands a 6-foot-tall fiberglass "Dr. Bear" sculpture.

Adama’s Confirmation About October 14th
Guio e tiso! For those who know, there has been quite a commotion about October 14th 2008 being the day an ET ship will appear for the world to see like never before. Many channelers and psychics have already put their two cents in, in confirming this day and event. Now it is my turn to emit a message that not only confirms this but explains it with further detail. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TheGalacticFederationofLight/ www.GalacticAffairs.comParanormal Youtube http://www.blacksitemedia.com/

Screen Legend Paul Newman Dies at 83 of Cancer WESTPORT, Conn. — Paul Newman never much cared for what he once called the "rubbish" of Hollywood, choosing to live in a quiet community on the opposite corner of the U.S. map, staying with his wife of many years and — long after he became bored with acting — pursuing his dual passions of philanthropy and race cars.
