NEW ORLEANS — Former News Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, best remembered for his impassioned pleas for help after the levees broke during Hurricane Katrina, was convicted Wednesday of accepting bribes in exchange for helping businessmen secure millions of dollars in city work, including after the devastating storm.
The federal jury found Nagin guilty of 20 of 21 counts against him, involving a string of crimes before and after the storm. He sat quietly at the defense table after the verdict was read and his wife, Seletha, was being consoled in the front row.
Before the verdict, the 57-year-old Ray Nagin said outside the New Orleans courtroom: "I've been at peace with this for a long time. I'm good."
Sentencing was set for June 11. Nagin left the courthouse more than an hour after the verdict was read, and after U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan ordered that his bond be modified to provide for "additional conditions of electronic monitoring and home confinement."
The Democrat, who left office in 2010 after eight years, was indicted in January 2013 on charges he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes — money, free vacation trips and truckloads of free granite for his family business — from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin's support for various projects.
The granite and some of the money came from developer Frank Fradella. More money came from another contractor, Rodney Williams, for Nagin's help in securing city contracts. Convicted former city vendor Mark St. Pierre, who got a no-bid contract with the city in Nagin's first term, provided trips to Jamaica and Hawaii.
A movie theater owner seeking tax breaks provided a trip to New York, prosecutors said. In a conspiracy count, prosecutors also said Nagin sought and got granite work for his business from a major retailer, identified in court as The Home Depot, while helping the retailer work out details related to the opening of a new store in post-Katrina new Orleans. The company was not accused of any wrongdoing.
Nagin had vehemently denied it all during several hours of testimony that spanned two days of trial. But the jury didn't believe him. The only not-guilty verdict came on one count of bribery involving a portion of the money from Williams.
Nagin had testified that key witnesses lied and prosecutors misinterpreted evidence including emails, checks and pages from his appointment calendar linking him to businessmen who said they bribed him.
As Nagin and defense attorney Robert Jenkins left the courthouse Wednesday, walking with a throng of media, photographers and video cameras, Nagin could be heard saying: "I maintain my innocence."
The defense repeatedly said prosecutors overstated Nagin's authority to approve contracts. His lawyer said there is no proof money and material given to the granite business owned by Nagin and his sons, Stone Age LLC, was tied to city business.
The charges against Nagin included one overarching conspiracy count along with six counts of bribery, nine counts of wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy and four counts of filing false tax returns.
The charges carry a variety of maximum sentences ranging from three to 20 years, but how long he would serve was unclear and will depend on a pre-sentence investigation and various sentencing guidelines.
Jenkins said Nagin's testimony didn't hurt the case and that an appeal would be filed after sentencing.
The conviction wasn't a surprise to Rainelle Smith, 64, of New Orleans, who said she voted for Nagin.
"I don't believe he served the city as well as he should have," she said. "He was supposed to come in and prevent the corruption the city was known for. We, in my family, thought of him as the 'cleanup man.' Instead he gets in office and he soiled it more."
The charges resulted from a City Hall corruption investigation that had resulted in several convictions or guilty pleas by former Nagin associates by the time trial started on Jan. 27.
Fradella and Williams, both awaiting sentencing for their roles in separate bribery schemes alleged in the case, each testified that they bribed Nagin.
Nagin's former technology chief, Greg Meffert, who also is awaiting sentencing after a plea deal, told jurors he helped St. Pierre, bribe Nagin with lavish vacation trips. St. Pierre did not testify. He was convicted in the case in 2011.

A 21-year-old man was convicted February 11, of four counts of attempted murder for a shooting that wounded four people outside a Halloween party on the USC campus, prompting the defendant to flip over a chair in anger and beg deputies to shoot him. The nine-woman, three-man panel took less than three hours to reach its verdict against Brandon Spencer. Prosecutors told jurors that the October 2012 shooting was the result of a longstanding feud between Spencer and a rival gang member.
The defense maintained it was a case of mistaken identity, with Spencer's father contending his son was prosecuted in a rush to judgment to satisfy the University of Southern California and its donors. After Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund Clarke Jr. thanked the jurors for their service and they filed out of the courtroom, Spencer reacted in anger and frustration, yelling expletives about a life in prison.
Then he yelled, ``Shoot me, I don't give a (expletive),'' as three deputies pushed furniture out of way and tried to restrain him.
``I love you dad,'' he hollered, before again asking the armed deputies to kill him. He struggled as court officers held him down, calling him by his first name and urging him to ``calm down'' as they got him handcuffed. He broke loose once more and three deputies pinned him to the ground as family members cried and called out to Spencer.
Clarke cleared the courtroom shortly afterward. Outside in the hallway, Spencer's father leveled charges of racism, telling reporters that his son was not a gang member and that prosecutors were driven by pressure from USC.
``(They) want to keep all these black men off the USC campus,'' James Spencer charged. ``This is just to satisfy USC."
The elder Spencer said jurors were not allowed to hear that his son was a licensed security guard, and said his son had enrolled at UCLA to begin studying to be an emergency medical technician. Deputy District Attorney Antonella Nistorescu told jurors during her closing argument that the defendant was a ``documented, well-known'' gang member who had been shot in the stomach in August 2011 by an unidentified rival gang member. She said Spencer was seeking vengeance when he fired at reputed gang member Geno Hall outside the party at USC. Hall, a former Crenshaw High School football standout, testified that he had just been talking to his girlfriend when he was shot and didn't know who did it or why.
``Gang members don't snitch, they don't talk to the police ... even rivals,'' Nistorescu told the jury.
Three other witnesses testified that it was Spencer who shot Hall and three others: Mysson Downs, Thomas Richie and Davonte Smith. The prosecution used tweets that had been sent on Spencer's phone as evidence of his gang links, while defense attorney John Blanchard countered that ``the younger generation likes to trash talk.'' The prosecutor pointed to the fact that Spencer pulled off his shirt in the wake of the shooting as evidence of his guilt. But Blanchard said his client pulled off his red shirt to avoid sporting gang colors.
``When he heard gunshots, deja vu, nightmare relived, he's going to run,'' Blanchard said.
The shirt was tied to Spencer via DNA, but there were no fingerprints on the gun found by police and DNA evidence was inconclusive. The gunfire broke out near a party sponsored by the Black Student Assembly and attended by about 400 people. Neither Spencer nor any of the four victims were USC students.
Blanchard said he would file an appeal, citing what he said were contradicting statements by the three eyewitnesses. Blanchard told jurors during his closing argument, ``When you consider all the evidence, the huge inconsistencies and holes ... it's called reasonable doubt, ladies and gentlemen.''
However, Nistorescu countered that the three agreed that Spencer was the shooter, telling jurors they should expect disagreements on smaller details of the shooting. Spencer, who is being held without bail, is due back in court on Feb. 21 for sentencing. He is facing a possible life sentence, as jurors also found true gang and gun allegations.
``He's destroyed,'' his father said.

Although food stamps can only be used to purchase food, the GOP believes food stamps create welfare dependency.
One of five children in the U.S. lives in poverty, according to a new report from a children's advocacy organization.
The report, conducted by Children's Defense Fund, also found that one in every 10 children, or 7.1 million children, is extremely poor.
"We are in a very dangerous time right now," Dr. Marian Wright Edelman, the organization's president and founder, told an audience of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. members at a recent legislative conference in D.C. "If [African-American women] don't stop our children's backward slide, no one else will."
The report — "The State of America's Children 2014″ — is produced annually by the nonprofit advocacy organization for children and families. This year's report said that in five years, children of color in the U.S., who are disproportionately poor, will comprise the majority of all children in the U.S. These economically disadvantaged and undereducated young people will grow up to be the nation's consumers, workforce and military, it noted.
Edelman said she is especially alarmed at the "cradle-to-prison pipeline" trend, in which growing numbers of impoverished African-American children, particularly males, become involved in the juvenile justice system and ultimately end up in adult penitentiaries.
"The prisons are full of our sons," she said. "One in three black boys born in 2000 will go to prison. Imprisonment is becoming the new American apartheid."
The report details how poverty results in hunger and homelessness among poor U.S. children. Roughly 1.2 million public school students were homeless from 2011 to 2012, 73 percent more than before the recession. More than one in nine children lacked access to adequate food in 2012, a rate 23 percent higher than before the recession.
"This summer we'll be facing a serious child hunger problem," Edelman said. "There will be a [huge] drop in summer school free breakfasts and lunches. I've heard stories about how sometimes when Mississippi school buses are late taking children to school, the children cry because they missed the free school breakfast."
The summer feeding program in the schools provides nutritious meals to young people, the only source of food all day for many of them. The program is also a source of employment for many adults, but not all states make use of the program, Edelman said.
"There is a special need for these programs in poor rural areas of the country," she added.
A substandard education is another major barrier to overcoming poverty.
"Eighty percent of our black children in fourth and eighth grade can't read at grade level," Edelman said. "Our children are being sentenced to social and economic death."
The report says that in six states — Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Oregon and Wisconsin — at least half of African-American children are poor, and nearly half the states had African-American child poverty rates of 40 percent or more.
"How can [House Speaker] John Boehner (R-Ohio) represent a state where 50 percent of its African-American children are poor and do nothing about it?" asked Edelman.
She told the sorority audience that it was not only important to lobby their representatives and senators to pass legislation that ends childhood poverty, but to meet with them in their home districts.
"When Congress members hear from you back home, it will really scare them," she said.
To illustrate how effective women can be in getting measures passed to lift children out of poverty, Edelman discussed a favorite analogy of her hero, slave abolitionist and feminist Sojourner Truth.
"In describing the political power of minorities, Sojourner often talked about fleas," she said. "She would say that enough fleas biting strategically can fell the biggest dog. They are small but indestructible, and they keep reproducing. This is a lesson for all of us. We have to be disciplined, focused, strategic 'fleas.'"

In a packed ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel Wednesday, February 5, the National Action Network (NAN) held its inaugural Black History Month Awards Luncheon.
NAN founder and president, Reverend Al Sharpton who hosted the event was careful to recognize the day as also being the birthday of the late Trayvon Martin, who would have been 19 years old.
The afternoon's honorees were Danny Bakewell Sr., publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel; Honorable Aja Brown, mayor of Compton, CA; Jon Platt, president North America, Warner/Chappell Music; Reverend Xavier L. Thompson, pastor, Southern Missionary Baptist Church; and Randy Falco on behalf of Univision Communications Inc.
Irving "Magic" Johnson helped to get the program started. The former Laker received a warm welcome from the crowd as he took to the podium.
"I have to first of all apologize to the Rev for being late," Johnson told the guests, "but I was downtown, I just bought the Sparks Basketball team," he announced to roaring applause. "I just cut the press conference short, because I told them I promised Reverend Sharpton I'd be here!"
A video presentation of some of the work and achievements of NAN played as lunch was served. Following the video Rev. Sharpton addressed the crowd, welcoming a few special guests in the audience. Rev. Dr. Cecil "Chip" Murray who Sharpton described as "walking Black history", "God Father" Clarence Avant, businessman and mobilizer J. Anthony Brown, and Rev. Sister Omarosa, were among those mentioned.
Next, came time to present the awards to the afternoon's honored guests.
"Today we initiate these Black History Month honors with the National Action Network because Black history is not something in the past," Reverend Sharpton related. "We reduce history too often as something that happened, rather than what continues to happen. Black history is living, and we want to honor those that help to make history now. "
President of North America Warner/Chappell Music Jon Platt was one of those Sharpton described as currently making history. First to receive his award, Platt "has risen as a giant in an industry that many Blacks have never been able to reach [such a] level of achievement and accomplishment," said the Reverend of the executive side of the music industry.
Next Rev. Sharpton introduced Compton's newly elected Mayor Aja Brown, the youngest the city has ever seen.
"We honor a lady now who has made a difference. Around the country Compton was known in a negative , now we have a mayor who has begun turning that around," he said of Brown who accepted her award with honor and humility, expressing great pride at being awarded amongst "such powerful individuals."
"Mayor Aja Brown believes in the resurrection. A women who has taken a city that had surrendered to despair, and took it to a place where people are looking upward."
Reverend Xavier Thompson received his award to heavy applause and cheers as many community members whose lives he has personally touched were in attendance, along with his family and expectant wife.
President and CEO of Univision Randy Falco accepted the award on behalf of the communications company. Reverend Sharpton stressed the importance of Black and Brown coalitions and Falco echoed his sentiments.
Of the five honorees, Sentinel Publisher Danny Bakewell Sr. was the only civil rights era activist, a fact Reverend Sharpton was deliberate in pointing out.
"I have marveled at him because California is not an easy place to organize," the Revered noted. Sharpton commended Bakewell for being on the "front lines" in community activism over the years, while simultaneously making business work so as "not to have to beg from those he had to confront." "He's the quintessential renaissance man of the civil rights movement around this country," proclaimed Sharpton before inviting Bakewell up to receive the award.
The luncheon is intended to be the first of an annual recognition of community leaders and corporations who are actively making Black history.

LOS ANGELES — Eight Los Angeles police officers violated department policy when they mistakenly riddled a pickup truck with bullets, injuring two women, during a manhunt last year for cop-turned-killer Christopher Dorner, a civilian oversight board announced Tuesday.
Police Chief Charlie Beck and Alex Bustamante, inspector general for the Los Angeles Police Commission, independently recommended that shooting be ruled out of policy, commission President Steve Soboroff said. He did not provide further details.
Beck will decide disciplinary measures for the officers, who were assigned to non-field duties during an LAPD investigation. Possible measures include reprimands, suspensions or even firings.
Last year, the city paid the women $4.2 million to settle a claim. That was in addition to a separate $40,000 settlement for the loss of their truck.
The Police Commission determination didn't surprise Glen Jonas, their attorney.
"There (are) 4.2 million reasons I have to believe it's out of policy," he said. "Anyone with any common sense would agree it's out of policy."
Dorner, a fired Los Angeles police officer, claimed he was unfairly dismissed and vowed revenge against law enforcement officers in a rambling online manifesto.
He killed the daughter of a former LAPD police official along with her fiance and two law enforcement officers over 10 days before being cornered and killing himself in a burning mountain cabin in San Bernardino County.
On Feb. 7, 2013, Los Angeles police guarding the Torrance home of a target named in Dorner's manifesto opened fire on a pickup truck they thought was Dorner's.
It actually contained two women delivering newspapers.
The pickup was riddled with more than 100 rounds while 30 to 40 shots hit the walls, windows and garages of nearby homes, Jonas said.
Emma Hernandez, 71, was shot in the back and her daughter, Margie Carranza, suffered minor injuries. Hernandez recovered except for some slight shoulder problems but neither woman returned to work, Jonas said, adding that Carranza tried but "it was too traumatic for her."
"The emotional and mental trauma is still there and they're still dealing with that," he said.
The shooting occurred hours after Dorner opened fire with an assault rifle on two Los Angeles police officers who had stopped his pickup in the Riverside County city of Corona.
During the resulting gun battle, one officer was grazed and the other was sprayed with shattered glass. Donner fled and a short time later shot two Riverside police officers, killing one.
"Both of these incidents were tragic for all involved, the officers who were injured in the first incident and the innocent women injured in the incident in the City of Torrance," Soboroff said in a statement. "As in all use of force incidents, the department has completed a thorough review and will adopt the lessons learned, both good and bad from these incidents."
Soboroff said the Police Commission followed Beck's recommendation that the lethal use of force in Torrance was out of policy, making its determination after nearly three hours of discussion and months of investigation by the Police Department.
The same day that the women's pickup was shot up in Torrance, a police officer in that Los Angeles suburb opened fire on another pickup truck.
Torrance police Officer Brian McGee believed Dorner was in the truck when he rammed it and opened fire, according to Los Angeles County prosecutors who determined that his use of force was reasonable and declined to file criminal charges. McGee has not been disciplined by his agency.
David Perdue of Redondo Beach, who was on his way to surf, wasn't shot but suffered head and spinal injuries. The city of Torrance paid him $20,000 for the damage to his truck and he has filed a federal lawsuit.

In honor of Mother's Day, I decided to reprint a piece by Detroit Free Press Staff Writer, John Askins, that was originally published on May 10, 1974, about my mother. I posted this on my blog two years ago but I believe it bears repeating.
"Mother's Day is over," the woman said over the telephone. It is the title of an anti-motherhood book, and she knew it was, and she wasn't even calling about Mother's Day, actually; it just sort of worked its way into the conversation.
She called because she wanted equal time on a story the Free Press ran about depression. Why should a man tell women about depression just because he was a doctor and supposedly an expert? she asked. Why couldn't she, as a woman who was sometimes depressed, be an expert, too?
"And what was she depressed about?" she was asked. Motherhood, for one thing.
For her, Mother's Day is over because she has decided to resign her position. Her children and husband are no longer allowed to call her "Mother" or "Margaret;" now she's "magi." With a small "m" because "I'm still a baby." And no last name.
She said she has found a judge who is willing to grant the name change but first she must complete certain legal steps which she was a bit hazy on.
"See, I take one step at a time, and I don't know all the ramifications of what I want to do. But I'm gonna do the first step, which is to type out my paper and then take it back there with the birth certificate and my marriage license to prove I was who I say I was, and to change to who I want to be."
She is 53, or will be in a couple of weeks, and she has six children, the oldest 18, and she has realized for a couple of years that she "resented having to feel responsible for other people's lives." She had thought that being a mother and wife meant doing things for the others; now she decided she was going to do something for herself because it seemed she had lost her identity somewhere along the way.
Over the phone she sounded bright and aggressive and a little squirrelly, but in a nice way. She described herself at one point as "the biggest bitch I know," and she seemed to veer back and forth from patting herself on the back to feeling guilty and wanting reassurance. It hasn't been easy, she said.
"When you say you're gonna be selfish and you're gonna look after yourself it sounds terrible, doesn't it? I have to learn how to be selfish."
She said marriage almost ruined the relationship between "the man I live with" and herself. She is still married to him but feels "psychologically divorced," she said.
"He can do his thing and I can do mine. And in order to do mine, I have had to cut myself away from both my father and the man I married and say, 'I will stand under this one banner: magi.' A four-letter word.
"It sort of evolved, from Margaret to Margie to finally -- there was something in the Bible about the wise men, the gift of the Magi, you know? So I'm playing with words. But it's a technique for me to get out of the lock-step. And it's working. The only people I have trouble with are the driver's license people and where I register to vote."
She tried to get the others to pitch in on the menial work around the house, using cajolery, coercion and money, but when they don't, she just lets the clutter and dirt accumulate, she said, and when it gets too bad she goes out and does "something that makes me feel good."
Mostly that seems to mean going to public meetings and seminars, writing letters and doing other constructive work to correct social problems. One gets the feeling she does this as much for the sense of self-worth it gives as for the sake of the cause itself.
"The thing that's frustrating me," she said, "is that I'm sure I have a talent. If I could just channel it in one direction, I could -- I could carve my name someplace or other."
When Magi made her big announcement to the family about how she was tired of doing all the dirty work, the response was a kind of collective yawn. They didn't believe she was serious, apparently, and they didn't seem to get the point; she has had to make it without their support.
She has had to learn to say no when her inclination was to say yes, and has had to learn to make deals: If I do this for you, what will you do for me? Sometimes when the pressure gets too great, she leaves rather than staying and fighting. She thinks that's cowardly, but at least she's not giving in.
"American women just don't know how to be selfish," she said. "I have to do it consciously, and then it seems kind of contrived, you know?
"But I have to do it, to get out of this lock-step I've been in, because I've followed those patterns for so long, doing the things a good mother should. You know, there's so many 'shoulds' laid on us... and if we try to live according to somebody else's 'shoulds' we get lost and then we start deteriorating and when it's too late we're called senile.
"I don't think I ever really wanted to be in this position, but it was the thing to do. Get married, have children. In retrospect it was stupid, making carbon copies of yourself and feeling like a god but not getting all of the benefits of a god.
"So I finally was able to say I hated these roles. And nobody put me in jail or killed me for saying that, and the kids are still living, they're eating well, they're healthy and strong, we love each other, we hate each other -- young people learn from the whole community, not just one female.
"When I was playing mother, they hated me. Oh sure, they were quiet and obedient, but they hated me. I was taking away some of their options, their right to think and do for themselves because of this terrible desire to do things for them.
"Let them wash their own damn socks. They'll be better off."
And happy Mother's Day.

Customizing SMF > Forks Discussion
BBCode pre-parsing
<< < (5/5)
Eliana Tamerin:
--- Quote from: AngelinaBelle on August 19, 2011, 12:09:07 PM ---IE7

1. The most recent version that works with Windows XP is IE8. If anyone is using a version older than XP by now, they're idiotic and deserve to run into compatibility issues.
2. Windows XP support is in the process of being dropped, so there's no reason to support IE7 or IE8 anymore.
3. Vista and Windows 7 can both use IE9, and Windows 7 will for sure be able to use IE10.
So IE7? Absolutely not. IE8? Maybe on SMF 2.1. Definitely not once we get past 2014. We can check to see that SMF isn't completely broken on these browsers, but do they need special treatment as they've received before? No.
I did it for my own board, it requires a bit of hacking in the parse_bbc function to get it working. The way i did it is to calculate a key based on a hash of the message content as well as a few variables. The data is parsed once for each key, and stored in a redis server.
The system take into account non-cacheable content (like aeva-foxy flash stuff), as well as content varying for users (in message private sub-messages for instance).
The real challenge comes from mods inserting javascript stuff in the html while parsing the message, so i had to modify a bit highslide4smf and aeva and now they work fine.
On editing the usual content is displayed, on save the key is calculated again and content saved again the same way.

Doctor Laligam Sekhar saved my life on March 25th, 1991. At Presbyterian University Hospital, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, he removed a 4 inch basal intracranial meniongioma. I was diagnosed in October 1990, in Toronto, after having suffered a grand mal seizure. The tumor had effected the brain stem, the pons and cerebellum. After two unsucsesful attempt, I was sent to the Center for Cranial Based Surgery, in Pittsburgh. Doctor Shandraneth Sen, Dr Sekhar's "protoge" performed the first 12 hour operation; Doctor Sekhar did the second one, where the tumor was actually resected. I owe my life to him.

In June, AGCO moved production of its Massey Ferguson 8600 Series and Challenger MT600D Series high-horsepower row-crop tractors to its Jackson, Minn., factory. Previously, the models sold for the North American market were made in France.
And the first tractor off the new factory line was a Massey Ferguson 8680 sold to Tony Peters. He operates a 500 acre farm and custom manure application business in Sherburn, Minn. Click here for the full story as it appears in Farm Life magazine.
The factory expansion doubles the plant's production capability, from 1,000 tractors per year to 2,000 or more. AGCO also opened its Intivity Center, a 17,000-sq.-ft. visitor center, to highlight the Massey Ferguson, Challenger, RoGator and TerraGator brands. Learn more about the Intivity Center here.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father Bernard Kilpatrick and Bobby Ferguson will not get new trials or be acquitted of charges from their federal corruption case. Thursday, U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds ruled that the jury had sufficient evidence for the convictions, and refused to order new trials or acquittals in the case.
In March, Kwame Kilpatrick and Ferguson were each found guilty of several charges including racketeering conspiracy and remain behind bars in a federal prison, while Bernard Kilpatrick was convicted on a single tax charge. The three will be sentenced next month.

In 1972, six American Indian tribally controlled colleges established the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) to provide a support network as they worked to influence federal policies on American Indian higher education. Today, AIHEC has grown to 37 Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in the United States and one in Canada. Each of these institutions was created and chartered by its own tribal government for a specific purpose: to provide higher education opportunities to American Indians through programs that are locally and culturally based, holistic, and supportive.
Through AIHEC, our colleges continue to work together to influence policy and establish programs in all facets of higher education. They receive technical assistance in key areas; network with one another, federal agencies, other institutions, and potential partners; mentor new institutions; and plan new initiatives to address evolving areas of need.
AIHEC provides leadership and influences public policy on American Indian higher education issues through advocacy, research, and program initiatives; promotes and strengthens Indigenous languages, cultures, communities, and tribal nations; and through its unique position, serves member institutions and emerging TCUs.
AIHEC activities are supported by member dues, grants and contracts. AIHEC is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors, which is comprised of the presidents of its accredited U.S.-based TCUs. The board elects from its membership an executive committee to oversee the activities of the collective body and the AIHEC staff.

Sometimes the best ideas stem from procrastination. While studying for finals at the University of Oregon last week, Samantha Stendal, a 19-year-old sophomore, was following news coverage of the Steubenville, Ohio, rape trial, in which two high school football players were convicted of assaulting a drunken 16-year-old girl. Stendal grew frustrated at the talk about alcohol, the suggestion that assault is a sad-but-inevitable byproduct of partying, the regrets over promising lives cut short by unfortunate "mistakes."
"I was reading so much on the victim-blaming and 'rape culture,' " Stendler, a film major, told me by phone this week. "I needed to see something positive on the Internet
. . . And I knew that I could make something."

The rain arrives,
a cool slicing breath,
and the sky throws on
it gray summer suit.
Gondoliers shout, stitch
their black needles to shore.
Waiters fling outdoor
tables indoors as drops
strike cobblestone,
Venetians and tourists evaporate
but not me.
I run through rainsheets,
across glassy piazzas, fly
over canals. A small witch
without a broom, I bank
around corners as damp
building edges crumble
into my hands. Lightning chases,
explodes in my footprints.
I jump into a pozzanghera
shouting its name.

"The only thing the monarchy has been fighting is the people of Bahrain and their quest for democracy and human rights. It is the monarchy's eagerness to tear at the fabric of Bahraini society to maintain its stranglehold on power that has fueled unrest. It is the monarchy's unwillingness to share power democratically and tolerate dissent that has always been the central grievance of the people."

Make a Mudroom Bench
Use these instructions to create a bench perfect for your mudroom.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Just because it's a mudroom doesn't mean it has to be drab. Add a touch of class with a bench stained to your taste. Here's how:
Materials and Tools:
1 sheet 4x8 plywood
1x4 pine lumber, stain-grade
circular saw
wood glue
finish nails
jigsaw with scroll blade
150-grit sandpaper
220-grit sandpaper
luan plywood
carpenter's square
wood putty
1. Use a circular saw and guide to cut the plywood seat and bottom pieces to the desired length. In this project, the bench measured 18 inches wide by 64 inches in length.
2. Cut the sides out of plywood. The sides should be 18 inches wide by 21 inches high. Drill pilot holes at each end of the bottom board and attach the two side pieces using a thin bead of wood glue, securing with 1¼-inch drywall screws.
3. Cut two dividers to fit into the bench opening. Measure in from each side 14 inches and draw a straight edge across the width of the bottom board using a carpenter's square. Attach the two dividers along the straight lines, using wood glue and 1-1/4-inch screws.
4. Place the top board in position and secure the two side pieces first. Drill pilot holes through the top and attach the top with wood glue and screws. Secure the two dividers by using wood glue and finish nails, making sure the dividers are square before attaching. Set the nails and fill the holes, using stainable wood putty.
5. Cut a back and two side pieces out of the 1x4 for the railing, using the length and width dimensions from the bench. Use a jigsaw to cut a slight angle on the ends of the side pieces to soften the rails. Attach the back rail first by running a bead of wood glue along the edge and placing the rail along the length of the top board—the seat. Secure from the bottom using finish nails. Attach the side rails, using glue and securing the ends to the back railing.
6. Cut the 1x4 to the length and width of the bottom panel of plywood to construct the base of the cabinet. Soften the base by cutting a slight curve, about 2 inches, from each end of the front and side pieces of 1x4. For the curve, use a cup lid to trace a curved edge and cut out the curve using a jigsaw with a scroll blade. Sand smooth and remove dust. Attach the base to the bottom piece of plywood using wood glue and finish nail.
7. Using a circular saw, cut plywood to the dimensions of the back of the bench. Attach the plywood back to the back of the bench seat and bottom board, using small finish nails. Make sure to secure the back to the sides and the dividers using nails.

How To: Make Recycled Magazine Boxes
Perfect timing! We've got two large stacks of magazines just sitting in our living room. Instead of dumping them all in the recycling bin, we can now turn them into a great DIY project.
Craftzine recently linked to Abstract Octopus Attack's Flickr set documenting how to make these boxes out of old magazines.
We think the same technique can also be used to DIY these magazine coasters and placemats.
1 Comment
I have another suggestion to recycle magazines and still avoid the blue bin--our apartment building has a basket in the lobby area with a label on it that says "Recycled Reading". We all put our old magazines in there and take others we haven't seen. It's awesome.

5 Stocks Under $5 to Watch
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today. >>5 Hated Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop Dynavax Technologies Dynavax Technologies (DVAX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, discovers and develops novel products to prevent and treat infectious diseases, asthma and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This stock closed up 9.2% to $2.13 on Tuesday. Tuesday's Range: $1.91-$2.14 52-Week Range: $1.74-$5.34 Volume: 3.27 million Three-Month Average Volume: 3.26 million From a technical perspective, DVAX ripped higher here off oversold territory with above-average volume. This stock recently gapped down from around $3 to $1.87 with heavy downside volume. Shares of DVAX went on hit its recent low of $1.74 and the stock entered oversold territory, since its relative strength index reading went below 30. That said, shares of DVAX have now started to rebound off that $1.74 and shares are quickly approaching a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if DVAX manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $2.13 to $2.14 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DVAX as long as it's trending above Tuesday's low of $1.91, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 3.26 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then DVAX will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from late February that started near $3. Some possible upside targets if DVAX gets into that gap with volume are $2.70 to its 50-day moving average at $2.80.

Las Vegas • It wasn't many years ago that state and federal wildlife agencies thought they might need to find additional methods besides traditional hunting and fishing license sales and a federal excise tax to fund their programs.
After all, the number of hunters and anglers seemed to be on the decline. In a world filled with electronic gadgets, it seemed fewer people, especially young folks, were headed outdoors.
But, in two reports released Thursday by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation at the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, it appears those trends have reversed in recent years despite the slow economy.
According to Jeff Crane, president of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, the number of hunters increased 5 percent from 2006 to 2011, while people buying fishing licenses increased by 11 percent during that same period.
Nationally, Crane said, there are 37.5 million anglers and hunters 16 and older, about the same population as California. Wildlife watchers also contributed $54.9 billion to the U.S. economy.
"Expenditures [for hunting] went up 55 percent from 2006," said Jim Curcuruto of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. "There were new hunters out there. This is during a time when the economy has been slow."
These figures are important to wildlife managers in states across the country because license sales coupled with a 10 percent federal excise tax on firearms, ammunition, boats and most fishing gear provide most of the dollars for wildlife conservation programs.
"Hunting, shooting and fishing are essential to the North American model of wildlife management," said Hannibal Bolton of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bolton's agency administers the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2012.
Since its inception in 1937, the program has generated $14 billion for conservation from hunters and anglers and provided more than $700 million each year through the sale of hunting and fishing equipment to support habitat conservation and outdoor recreation.
By law, money spent on state hunting and fishing licenses or cash generated by the excise tax on equipment can't be spent on any other program. No state legislature or Congress has managed to raid funds for other purposes since its inception, according to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
"Many people may not fully comprehend how important hunting and fishing are to the fabric of this country," said Crane. "Yet there are more people who hunt or fish than go bowling. [Hunter and angler] spending would land at number 24 on the Fortune 500 list."
The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation report revealed many statistics on the importance of hunting and fishing to the economy.
For example, the $90 billion spent in 2011 on such pursuits was more than the combined global sales of Apple's iPhone and iPad the same year.
The $6 billion hunters spent on guns, ammunition and archery equipment was the same as the sales of bicycles in the United States in 2011.
The 15.5 million hunters in the United States over the age of six could fill every NASCAR track, National Footbal League stadium, National Basketball Association arena, Major League Baseball ballpark and National Hockey League rink in the United States more than twice. Anglers spent about $200 million on trip-related expenditures, than the combined 2011 revenues for all of the major professional sports leagues in the United States.

Part of the inbound Edens Expressway (I-94) was closed for at least two hours early Thursday after a street sweeper truck collided with two SUVs near north suburban Northfield.
The three-vehicle crash happened about 1:40 a.m. on southbound I-94 near Willow Road, according to Illinois State Police.

Although the algae biofuel industry is still relatively young, a few companies have established themselves as market leaders. One of these, Arizona-based Petrosun, has recently taken a noticeable step - announcing an international venture to establish an algae farm in China. The company says it has an agreement with Jun Ya Yan Technology Development Co. of Shanghai which will commit $40 million to fund the Chinese farm. The profits of the joint venture will be split between PetroSun's China subsidiary and Jun Ya Yan Tech.
In Texas, PetroSun is building 1,100 acres of enter site levitra 10 mg ponds in its Rio Hondo location
to produce 4.4 million gallons of algae oil and 110 million pounds of biomass per year. Neither company has said where the cheapest viagra prices without a prescription China farm will be based, but let's hope it doesn't interfere with food production – a problem which already exists on Asian farmlands.
Algae fuel is higher yielding than biofuels based on corn and soybeans, though it will still take some time to bring costs down. PetroSun claims that algae is capable of producing in excess of 30 times more oil per acre than corn and soybean crops, that their biodiesel contains no sulfur, is highly biodgradable and is nontoxic.
Recently, according to GreenTechMedia, investment in algae fuel has been ratcheted up. In venture capital, algae-based biofuel companies have raised a record-breaking $179.5 million to date this year compared to only best offers 100 mg viagra $32 million last year.

Yes, anything we grow as fuel could displace food crop production. That could lead to the poor of the world getting even poorer as the rich nations would demand all the food, as usual, leaving them with squat. That's a serious issue that needs addressing.
I read once of algae being grown in plastic tubing as opposed to ponds. If the tubing opotion could be developed, algae farms could be based anywhere, for example on rooftops in cities, meaning no arable land is best price for levitra 'wasted'.
We have to ensure that the companies involved in this act responsibily and are fully accountable for the actions they take. The last thing we want is a repeat of we choice buy low price viagra what's happening in the indian levitra Amazon to satiate the West's appetite for cheeseburgers! We need to levitra next day delivery set out on www.massing.de our green quest with green ideals founded on human rights and environmental needs. We need a fully holistic approach or we are simply going to repeat all the mistakes of the past and viagra cheapest price generic end up in a worse positin than we are now.

New Tool from Leading IT Industry Trade Association Makes Learning IT Skills More Accessible and Effective, Setting Stage for IT Career Launch
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- CompTIA, the IT Industry Trade Association, today announced the worldwide availability of CompTIA CertMaster, a revolutionary new tool that makes learning IT skills easier, more accessible and more effective.
CompTIA CertMaster is an online, confidence-based learning solution that helps individuals learn and retain information more effectively, better preparing them for the IT certification exams that form the foundation of an IT career.
"Anyone looking to launch or advance a career in information technology can benefit from CompTIA CertMaster," said Terry Erdle, executive vice president, certification and learning, CompTIA.
More than 500,000 IT positions are currently open with employers across the country, according to the latest estimates. IT certifications – such as CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ and Strata IT Fundamentals – can be a critical differentiator in landing one of these jobs.
CompTIA CertMaster helps individuals prepare for these certification exams. It complements other training and curriculum by affirming and supporting an individual's level of confidence so that they truly understand what they are studying.
"This affirmation allows the user to quickly master information; retain it for the long term; and recall what they've learned so they can respond confidently and correctly when taking the exam or performing on the job," Erdle said.
CompTIA CertMaster relies on brain science and research in neurobiology, cognitive psychology and game study. The software combines key principles from each field to help users master – not just memorize – the material they need to learn.
"CompTIA CertMaster taps into feelings of progression, risk, achievement and curiosity," explained Thomas Reilly, vice president, CompTIA Learning. "When you're engaged and getting positive feedback, you are encouraged to learn from your mistakes and, ideally, keep playing and learning."
Each user moves through the platform at their own pace, in a way that meets their unique learning style and prior knowledge. This makes it relevant for anyone – from students and beginners In IT to experienced IT professionals.
To date, 96 percent of CompTIA CertMaster users have rated the tool as excellent or good. Individuals who have used this form of learning have experienced a 50-75 percent decrease in training and study time to reach competency in the subject matter. Users demonstrated 80 percent knowledge retention after 12 months, compared to less than 5 percent retention after traditional learning methods.
CompTIA CertMaster can be used by individuals, schools, training providers, HR and IT departments, government agencies and many other organizations. It's accessible from a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone, allowing users to easily switch between devices without impacting their study experience.
CompTIA CertMaster is currently available for the CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+ and Strata IT Fundamentals exams. Additional certifications exams will be added in the coming months.

In Binghamton, New York, Mets pitcher Darin Gorski put forth a marvelous complete game effort against the visiting New Jersey rivals, Trenton Thunder. In pitching nine full innings, Gorski allowed two runs on just three hits. He retired the side in order in four of his first five innings. His only mistake came with two outs in the sixth, which resulted in a two run home run struck by Thunder second baseman Reegie Corona. He threw ninety-five pitches, with seventy going for strikes, while only walking one batter and striking out six.
Darin was a hard-luck loser however, as three Trenton pitchers combined to one-hit the Binghamton Mets line-up en route to a 2-0 victory. Nik Turley started for the Thunder, pitched six innings and surrendered Binghamton's only hit, a single to shortstop Wilfredo Tovar in the third inning. He walked five batters however, but struck out eight before departing the game on the winning side. Trenton's bullpen registered three innings of no-hit baseball, walked two and combined on five strikeouts. The Mets were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.
This was Darin Gorski's first defeat (3-1) in seven starts for Binghamton. His ERA dropped from 2.63 before the game to a 2.48 mark after today's performance.
The Trenton Thunder are in Binghamton for a big five game weekend series. With today's loss, the first place Mets record now stands at 64-40 this season, and lead the second place Trenton Thunder (54-51) by 10.5 games in the Eastern League's Eastern Division standings. Friday is slated for a twi-night double-header in order to make up for a 6/27 rain-out.
NOTE: Tonight's games in Savannah, Georgia, between the Sand Gnats and the Augusta GreenJackets and the Port St. Lucie Mets game versus the Lakeland Flying Tigers in Florida were both postponed due to rain.

Peace and Quiet that's still Close to Town
This house was perfect for us and our two young kids (2 and 4). The kids really liked checking out the inlet and the nature around us. I really liked the location, it was only a five minute drive to the store if we needed something, but felt like it was out of the city. We were also really close to multiple parks, the children's museum and the farmers market. The home owner is great, she is very responsive and left little notes around the house to help us find what we needed.
