Music to Your Ears
Fetes With Benefits
This week, music-based Haiti benefits in Albuquerque abound. Even the Alibi is getting in on the action. Let's start with that.
The Weekly Alibi's Rock for Haiti takes place on Thursday, Jan. 28, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Launchpad (618 Central SW) and contains a stellar, eclectic lineup. Mellower acts perform earlier in the evening, while loud rock ensues later (skim down for the exact schedule). In addition to music, complimentary frozen goodness from Ecco Gelato will be served, and raffles for local art, ski lift tickets and other excellent prizes will be held. A minimum $5 donation is requested and 100 percent of the money goes to the Red Cross. Also, bring your old cell phones and chuck them into the donation box. We'll send those to relief organizations in Haiti, too.
Rock for Haiti Schedule:
Young Edward, 8 p.m.
Up the Holler, 8:25 p.m.
Zack Freeman, 8:50 p.m.
Blue Rose Ramblers, 9:15 p.m.
SayWut, 9:40 p.m.
Five-Star Motelles, 10:05 p.m.
Vertigo Venus, 10:30 p.m.
Ya Ya Boom, 10:55 p.m.
World on Fyre, 11:20 p.m.
The Dirty Novels, 11:45 p.m.
The Scrams, 12:15 a.m.
Made in Bangladesh, 12:40 a.m.
Also on Thursday, Jan. 28, is Rise Up! New Mexico Stands With Haiti, a benefit concert presented by Avokado Artists, ¡Globalquerque! and Albuquerque Little Theatre. Multigenre performers include Rahim Alhaj, Soul Kitchen, Asper Kourt, Poema and Mariachi Mystery Tour. Admission is $10 and all proceeds go to Direct Relief International (directrelief.org). Stand with Haiti at the Albuquerque Little Theatre (224 San Pasquale SW) at 7 p.m. Call 242-4750 ext. 2 for tickets, or get them at albuquerquelittletheater.org or the door.
Finally, two days later, on Saturday, Jan. 30, a bluegrass benefit for the Red Cross' Haitian relief efforts takes place at the Launchpad. Beginning at 9:30 p.m., The Porter Draw, The Saltine Ramblers and E. Christina Herr & Wild Frontier pluck strings for a good cause. All proceeds from the $5 cover charge go to the Red Cross.

Sugar and toddlers
Started by Kemma , Dec 19 2012 02:25 PM

Hi there,
I am just trying to get a handle on something going on with my DD 2.5 yo.
I think that she has some kind of reaction to sugar. Not physical like a stomach ache, but as in behavioural.
It's becoming apparent that on days when she has more sugar than normal, like today at a playgroup party, her behaviour changes. She's very contrary, angry, sad, tired, generally just very tantrumy.
I guess I'm not sure whether to blame the sugar (as in she has an abnormal response) or if it's just a normal 2.5 year old reaction to what's probably an excess of sugar.
Do any of you have any experience with this kind of thing? I hope I haven't been too vague.
Thanks for any tips/advice/knowledge
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:28 PM
Sugar raises your stress hormones, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if she got angry/tired.
It's completely normal, but a very good reason to avoid it as much as you can in every day life.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:30 PM
You probably need to share a bit more detail about what type of sugar. If my DD ate a big slab of homemmade chocolate cake, no there would be no reaction but if she shovelled in a big bowl of Allens Snakes (like last Christmas day!) then yes she is a total loon!
So is it sugar, flavour, colours, additives etc?
Try and narrow it down a bit maybe.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:33 PM
How much extra sugar are we walking about?
If DD has a small cup of juice, no problems.
If she has a small cup of juice, a heap of sweet biscuits and a piece of cake covered with icing, she'll be pretty feral for the rest of the day. I think that's normal.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:40 PM
My DD was like this and I someone said it could be sugar but I said it couldn't be as I knew her diet was very healthy (1st child of course). I soon realised it was the days that she had grapes that made her like this!
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:45 PM
If my DD has a lot of sugar, we will have a massive tantrum, tears, screaming, etc when she is going through the sugar crash.
It's not much fun, especially if she is tired (as happened on her birthday... my ex's parents decided it would be a great idea to give her a big chocolate frog, jelly and icecream after dinner then give her back to me to deal with).
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:46 PM
The link between behviour and sugar has been pretty comprehensively dismissed. The fact that she was at a party is probably the more realistic explanation. She probably got hyped up and is now tired.
Of course it might be some other additive that she is reacting to, if this happens often when she has a certain type of food then it's worth looking into.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:50 PM
If DS has a cup of tea (decaf ocourse) with half a spoon of sugar, he's fine. If he gets a hot chocolate with 2 spoons of sugar, I need to put the household in lockdown.
Also, I have noticed that DS is worse with white processed sugar than with raw sugar.

This. Parents blame sugar (and red food colouring) for a lot of hyperactivity when it isn't to blame.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 02:55 PM
I agree with the PP that it's just a myth that kids either "get high" or "crash" from sugar. I've certainly never seen bad behaviour from my kids that I could attribute to sugary food.
Posted 19 December 2012 - 06:44 PM
"There have been no major studies that have been able to provide any scientific evidence that a diet high in sugar is directly associated with hyperactivity in children," said Stacey Finch, a registered dietician at ACH. Instead, Finch said experts feel that hyperactivity is most likely the result of the excitement at birthday parties and special occasions where, coincidentally, children get their biggest dose of sugar.
and a heap of other websites when googling.
As others said it is more than likely the setting or the food colorings etc...
My child has never had a 'sugar high', mostly as he doesn't eat sweets, colour laidened or not.

My children behave like that after parties or play dates even if they eat normally. They are excited to start with and end up more tired and more emotional. DS2 finished up his last 2 play dates screaming at me that he wasn't going to come to school to pick ups DS1. I wouldn't blame it entirely on sugar.
(But then I do feed them yoghurt, sultanas and white bread!)

Eamon doesn't get chocolate for this reason....ANY chocolate....his reaction is a bit different though, if he does have chocolate he ends up all whingey and tantrummy later that day which invariably results in high temperatures and refusal to eat....it doesn't happen with other sugary stuff, only with chocolate, and it happens every time. The amount doesn't need to be much at all....example....yesterday his swimming teacher gave all the kids a small Santa chocolate.....like really little....I let Eamon eat it as he hasn't had any chocolate for ages and I thought he might be OK....by mid afternoon he was grumpy and whingey, a few hours later he was lethargic and I noticed a temperature that panadol wouldn't bring down...there was nothing else that could have caused this....this morning he woke up OK like he was never "sick"

its preservatives that send my pair crazy.
this website is very interesting: http://fedup.com.au/
Posted 19 December 2012 - 07:04 PM
Before having DD I did buy into the sugar=crazy but now I don't! The quickest way to have DD go nuts is to let her go hungry. She goes mental. Gets that from her mother...
Posted 19 December 2012 - 07:11 PM
My 2 year old has massive tantrums, mood swings and grumpiness on a daily basis. She doesn't consume any sugar other than whole fruit and lactose.
I dread to think what she'd be like if someone fed her a whole lot of sugary treat food!
My seven year old does go silly if she has sugar but I'm more inclined to think its because she's normally at a party, eating "treat food" and gets very tired and overwhelmed.

I've read this research too. But I don't know how it reconciles with my own experience of eating high GI foods leading to mood fluctuations.

All the ingredients, including the liquids are measured in grams. So just place a jug or bowl on your measuring scales and measure as normal. You will also need a sugar thermometer to tell when the fudge is ready. These are available online and in most good kitchen departments.
This is the very first stir fry recipe I cooked in the wok that my dad bought me when I was 17. The wok is still going strong and so is this recipe. The ish factor is the sauce and the marinade. Hoisin sauce has a lovely sweet plummy taste and oyster sauce is deep and rich, perfect for beef. The pale dry sherry is the substitute for Chinese rice wine,and really enhances the aromatic heat of the ginger. Use extra veggies if preferred and serve with rice or noodles to mop up the sauce.
From: Today
This is one of my all time favourite salads. It has a really moreish taste with a lovely texture. This is one of my 'substantial salad' recipes: salads made with resilient ingredients that are filling, transport well and stay fresh. Lentils are economical, highly nutritious and easy to cook. This salad makes a great packed lunch, and will stay fresh in the fridge for three days. Delicious hot or cold, served with grilled fish or on its own.
The Dublin restaurant celebrates the gorgeous local lobster, and this recipe is a winner!
This is a great 'catch all' recipe for the end of the week where you can use up bits of veggies and leftover chicken to make a really tasty, filling meal. And as it is takeawayish, it feels like a treat on a Friday evening. Our ish factors fresh ginger, soya sauce and toasted sesame oil add ish pizazz to a recipe that can be quite bland. Aim for more veggie and meaty bits and less rice for an interesting, delish meal.
My mom has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember. First, you bake the appley, cinnamony sponge, then you pour the steaming, rich caramel sauce over and allow it to sink in. Heaven with cream or custard. There are 140 varieties of apples that are native to Ireland with wonderful names like 'Cavan Rose' and 'Irish Molly'. Any eating or cooking apple will work, so have fun experimenting with different types, not the same old same old!
Muesli bars or flapjacks can be a great breakfast on the run or lunchbox treat. Unfortunately most shop-bought versions are very high in sugar and saturated fats. I have created this recipe to use less sugar and more natural sweeteners like dried apricots, cranberries and ground cinnamon. Uses heart healthy fats from Flora, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Oat flakes, rich in B vitamins and cholesterol lowering fibre, make up the base of the bars. Whip up a batch of these super delicious and moreish muesli bars for a lunchbox treat to look forward to!
This is a great takeawayish recipe, all the tastes and textures of a traditional Chinese, but with extra crunch and veggies. Use skinless boneless chicken thighs for really juicy tender chicken, much better than chicken fillets. You can make this a vegetarian main meal by swapping out the chicken for extra veggies like courgettes and extra peppers. The real ish ingredient is pale dry sherry, also called fino sherry. This is the closest Western equivelant to Chinese sxhaosing wine which is a traditional rice wine.
This is a great lunch box sandwich or picnic pleaser from Rozanne Stevens
Stored properly, it may last up to a week.

The breakfast (at a surcharge and not included in room rate) was a little disappointing. No in room refrigeration for my medication, although the staff at front desk were happy to hold it in a private fridge for me.
spending hard earned money on a hotel that needs to be torn down
very good access to interstate travel good location from downtown lots of choices to eat out nearby
other party traveling with us did not have all the same conveniences in their room
Most of the staff was very polite and for the most part welcoming. Especially the woman host in concession of the continental breakfast.
I didn't like the fact that a whole entrance was congested with smokers right by the door including staff. At any time of the day it was nothing to see a whole pile up of them. For a non smoker with 14 month old son it just wasnt worth the price when there were more hotels close by asking similar price. I would suggest posting signs to push the smoking range further back from the facility.
No air con so room was hot and stuffy unable to sleep or relax
The Damon's restaurant inside.
Easy to get to. Staff friendly and professional. Close to state fairgrounds. Especially fond of lady in restaurant for breakfast. So pleasant to talk to. Will stay again next year most likely.
I was very disappointed with Damon's restaurant. I have eaten at a few and always found them very good. They did not have any steaks. In fact there were like three of the items from the menu that they did not have for dinner. Husbands dinner was tough and not very flavorful. I had ribs and chicken. Meat was tough but I did not like the sides so I ate the meat. We will eat elsewhere next time.
We were in a room on the side that faces I-70 and hear traffic all night. The pool wasnt inviting and the hot tub was closed. Would have been more impressed with better amentities during our stay.
For starters, the website lead me to believe we would have a nice breakfast in the restuarant on location included with stay. They failed to mention it was a continental breakfast if that! Warm milk, no orange juice, very little choice of food. The bed was hard, found a blood stain on our sheet, and the shower was terrible. A simple replacement shower head would be suffient. We have stayed in much nicer and more comfortable places for less money than I spent that night! I understand certain things are to be expected in an older hotel, but those things I have mentioned could be taken care of. Upon checkin, they changed my room quoting "going to upgrade your room". I would have hated to stay in the first room if ours was this bad. I believe this was our first time in a ramada inn and probably be our last.
Absolutely nothing!! Disgusting!
Bugs in room and very filthy I was afraid to sleep or shower! Dangerous location, people hanging outside our room all hours, smoking and partying. For $100 a night you would never expect these things- and all though they advertised it - the pool and exercise room were unusable - would never stay there again!
The room was very nice.
There was no stationery or local telephone directory in the room. The local newspaper was not provided for the guests. I had to go to the corner gas station to get a news paper. Advertising a free breakfast is a bit misleading. You should advertise a free "continental breakfast" not a free breakfast. I was expecting a hot meal as were some other guests that I noticed. In my opinion, this hotel did not live up to Ramada Inn standards.
It was very close to IMS. Staff were very courteous. Breakfast was decent. To all the people that are saying negative things about the location, it is not bad at all that is if you are not racist.
Nothing we have a good stay in this hotel.
I didn't like anything about this hotel
restaurant was great
lack of non smoking rooms available, as we have requested.
great desk staff
need a refresh
homeless thugs roaming around carpet dirty,felt unsafe
I found a bed bug and had to leave in the middle of the night.
Nothing. Couldn't wait to leave.
No cable. Bed was hard. Pillows flat. We're told breakfast was included only to find out it starts at 6:30 am and is dine in only. The location is weird for most attractions. We got caught in the middle of a police shooting while looking for a place to eat. Hotels shouldn't be in the ghetto
My husband likes to take bath. The was no water stopper on the tub, the bottom was rusted and there was a cockroach on the tub. The room smell so musty and the courtain had mildew on them. This was the worst Ramada I have ever been on it. The place needs a remodel and a serious clean up.
It was cheap and could give us a room at the last minute.
Hotel is run down, in need of complete overhaul. Breakfast was a disaster zone - no plates, little food, shambles. We walked out and went elsewhere.
I like the location and your second shift staff was wonderful. The pool was overrun with unsupervised disrespectful children. The breakfast was put away before 945 am. The first shift gentleman was not helpful when questions about the rewards program were asked. I could not get my rewards number and he basically told me that it was to late.

Groundbreaking for Bethlehem lofts project may be just around the corner, task force leader says
Groundbreaking could be just around the corner for an $11 million project that would transform a former Catholic church property in Bethlehem into artists lofts and apartments.
Roger J. Hudak, head of the Mayor's South Side Task Force, said Tuesday he received an email from Ian Rawhauser, a real estate development analyst with the project's non-profit developer, HDC MidAtlantic, indicating the groundbreaking would take place in September or October.
"They're already doing [preparatory] work," Hudak told task force members. "The property is already fenced off. They're trying to keep the metal hunters away."
HDC MidAtlantic plans to build the 46-unit South Side Lofts at two locations -- 28 one- and two-bedroom apartments with 26 parking spaces at the former St. Stanislaus Church at 419-429 Hayes St. and a three-story 18-unit building with two- and three-bedroom apartments and 22 parking spaces on the site of a Quonset hut at 420 Atlantic St.
Plans call for the 106-year-old church sanctuary to be restored and be used as a community and gallery space.
In March, HDC MidAtlantic was awarded $868,343 in federal tax credits through the state Housing Finance Agency's Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. Bethlehem also has pledged $700,000 in federal housing grants toward the project.
In other business, task force members were told that Lehigh University freshmen will be introduced to about a dozen South Side restaurants during a brand-new orientation program called Faux Friday on Aug. 23.
Dale Kochard, university vice president for community and regional affairs, said about 700 students have signed up for the program.
Hudak said Moravian College has a similar program for its students to become familiar with restaurants on Bethlehem's North Side.

After Fair Share, trial lawyers ponder next move
Rothweiler to lead trade association as their legal field undergoes changes
Send this story to a friend
- Jeff Blumenthal, Staff Writer
(Page 2 of 2)
Business interests argue that Fair Share balances the system by eliminating the possibility that a defendant culpable for only 1 percent of damages could wind up paying 100 percent of the damages in a case.
Rothweiler has been active in trade associations for much of his 30-year career, serving as president of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association in 2001-02. His practice consists of medical malpractice, product liability and mass tort work.
He knows he will be fighting against more attempted tort reform measures as business interests try and capitalize on their momentum and a Republican legislature and governor.
Kevin Shivers, Pennsylvania director for the National Federation of Independent Business, said recently that repealing joint and several is only the start. He said his organization will seek, among other things, to limit non-economic damages in trials.
Another item on Rothweiler's agenda will be to improve the image of trial lawyers statewide. One of his trial lawyer peers, former Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor Edward Chacker, said the most destructive hit on the reputation trial lawyers has been advertising.
"For any lawyer to get on television and tell people that if someone is injured they deserve money is false," Chacker said. "But those ads give credence to the false perception that there are loads of frivolous lawsuits. Then people actually get on juries and realize that these are seriously injured people. It's only frivolous until it happens to you."
Rothweiler agrees with Chacker but said there is little PAJ can do to curb such advertising. But Rothweiler does try and promote a different image of trial lawyers when he serves as a legal analyst for WTXF-TV Fox 29, where he has commented on the recent Casey Anthony trial and the fatal Duck Boat accident.
"I cringe at home when I see those ads where people say they'll get you cash," Rothweiler said. "And I'm tarred with that brush. Anytime money is mentioned it turns my stomach. But you have to realize that's a small percentage of trial lawyers and some of those people are not members of our organization. We need to try and change the perception of trial lawyers."

ASIA/SYRIA - Syrian Children victims of a conflict that they ignore
Damascus (Agenzia Fides) - Without understanding what is happening in their country, Syrian children have become victims of a conflict that has already left a mark that they will bear for the rest of their lives and that has forced them to seek refuge in neighboring countries like Lebanon. A year has gone by since the revolt against the Syrian regime started and, because of the bombings in the province of Homs, over 10 thousand people continue to seek refuge. Most refugees arrive with nothing, they have no means of subsistence or to meet the costs of housing, electricity, food, clothing and personal hygiene products. The aid they receive can barely meet their basic needs, more obviously in the case of children who need milk, underwear, clothes and food with high protein content. The physical wounds are not the only ones that affect these young ones, violence affects them psychologically. According to a pediatrician of the hospital in Damascus, adults can overcome their fear but for them it is not the same thing. Meanwhile, in Syria, children do not escape from the torture and killings. Recently, the United Nations Fund for Children (UNICEF) condemned the killing of very young children and women in the village of Karm el Zaitun, in Homs. According to UN data, over a year now, over 8 thousand people have been killed, including hundreds of children because of government repression, while the regime continues to blame the terrorist groups.

Is it OK to take a "mental health day" when you're not really sick?
Related Links
Relevant offers
The so-called "mental health day" could become extinct under law changes allowing bosses who suspect a worker of pulling sickies to demand they front up with proof after only one day.
At present, employers must have reasonable grounds to suspect an illness is not genuine to seek a medical certificate before the worker has had three consecutive days off.
However, the change, announced by the Government at the National Party's annual conference in Auckland yesterday, would allow bosses to require staff to provide proof they are really sick from day one. The employer would have to pay the cost of a doctor's visit.
However, doctors say surgeries may struggle to cope with numbers of workers needing medical certificates and some people may not take a day or two off when they should, spreading sickness.
General Practice New Zealand chairwoman Bev O'Keefe said the change could put pressure on medical centres.
"The issue for general practice is how we accommodate all those people who need to claim medical certificates because they will need to be seen and assessed which means they are going to impact on what is already the heavy workload of general practice.
"One thing we are not happy to do is to furnish medical certificates without seeing people because that's just hearsay."
Another issue was people may go to work ill.
"People may go to work when perhaps it would have been wiser to stay at home."
Dr O'Keefe said another practical issue would be whether people would be able to get the appointment within three days of taking a sick day and may need to take time off work to do it.
"There are some logistic issues around that. but I guess that's something we have to address because if this is going to become the law then we need to make sure that people can in fact get access to the medical certificates that they require when they need them and that is going to put some pressure on the system."
The Government also announced the expansion of the controversial 90-day trial period policy, under which employers can sack workers within their first 90 days of employment, for any reason.
The voluntary scheme will now cover businesses of all sizes.
The reforms, described by Labour as an attack on workers' wages and conditions, attracted hundreds of protesters and unionists to gather outside the National Party's annual conference in Auckland yesterday.
Doors into the SkyCity convention centre were locked for fear that protesters would get inside, after a group led by former Green MP and veteran protester Sue Bradford breached a police cordon to storm a lobby.
Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson said the changes to the Holidays Act were aimed at reducing costs for businesses and encouraging both workers and employers to "follow the rules".
Employment lawyer Peter Cullen said if the employer was paying for the medical check, it would have little impact on a worker's rights.
However, Council of Trade Unions president Helen Kelly said it was a waste of time for both workers and doctors, who would now have to fill out medical certificates for people who did not need medical attention beyond a day in bed to recover.
The Government is also going ahead with its election year policy of allowing workers to cash in up to one week's annual leave if their employer is willing.
Ms Wilkinson said it gave workers more choice in whether they took holidays or the extra cash.
However, Ms Kelly said it would erode the hard-fought for entitlement for four weeks' minimum leave. "Workers short of money will be tempted to cash in such leave when what they really need is a decent pay rise."
The measure was also criticised by Green MP Keith Locke, who said it was "fanciful" for Ms Wilkinson to say the choice would lie with workers. "Employers will make their views very clear to workers what they want."
Under further changes, bosses and workers can also agree to swap a public holiday for another day off.
Ms Wilkinson said it would allow people of different cultures and religions to exchange a recognised public holiday – such as Easter or Christmas – for another day that had more significance to their own culture or religion. That alternative day would effectively become a public holiday for that person and if they had to work it, they would be paid statutory rates.
The changes have been criticised by Labour's Trevor Mallard, who said the package was a "stinging attack on people who work for a living". It would suppress wages and working conditions, including holidays, for all workers regardless of whether they belonged to a union.
The changes are expected to be in place by next year, with ACT agreeing to support the necessary legislation.

The Complete Organized Crime Database on the Americas
Did Narco-Linked El Salvador Congressman Plan Hit on Top Prosecutor?
El Salvador's attorney general has accused a congressman of plotting his murder, adding a new twist to an ongoing case that has exposed alleged close ties between the legislator and a major drug trafficking network.
How El Salvador Handed its Prisons to the Mara Street Gangs
September 2 was the 10th anniversary of the decision of El Salvador's government to assign exclusive jails to the Mara Salvatrucha and Barrio 18 gangs. The measure is now considered by academics and researchers as one that facilitated the evolution of the gangs, but very few opposed it while it was happening. Now, the question is whether reversing the segregation is viable or not.
Rival El Salvador Gangs Announce 'Phase 2' of Truce
Gangs in El Salvador have announced a new phase of their 2012 truce, committing to end attacks between rival groups and against the security forces, but it is unlikely that the current government will be willing to follow the path of its predecessor and offer concessions to the warring groups in exchange for a reduction in violence.
El Salvador Investigates both Sets of Gang Truce Negotiators
El Salvador's attorney general has confirmed that his office is investigating the actions of both sets of negotiators in the country's gang truce, suggesting there will be no more semi-official attempts at mediation with gangs under the new administration.
El Salvador Gangs Teach Honduras Counterparts Secret Codes
Imprisoned gang leaders in Honduras are receiving instructions from their counterparts in El Salvador on how to transmit coded messages, reported El Heraldo, highlighting the collaboration between gangs in the two countries.
Alleged Salvadoran Kingpin 'Chepe Diablo' Clears Tax Debt
Alleged Texis Cartel founder "Chepe Diablo" has nearly completed paying off his tax evasion debt to the government, and there is still no sign that the Salvadoran government intends to bring drug charges against the US-designated kingpin.
El Salvador Anti-Mafia Judges Arrested For Ties to Organized Crime
Authorities in El Salvador have arrested three anti-mafia judges accused of accepting bribes from organized crime groups, highlighting the corruption that plagues the country's judicial system and allows impunity to flourish.
How Not to Repeat the Failures of El Salvador's Gang Truce
A former El Salvador security minister told El Faro that he believed the truce between the country's two main street gangs, MS13 and Barrio 18, was over, and called for any future agreement to be transparent, and to involve the disbanding of the gangs.
El Salvador 'Lacks Evidence' Against US-Designated Kingpins
El Salvador's attorney general struggled to explain why his country had not brought charges against alleged Salvadoran cartel bosses designated as drug kingpins by the United States, offering an insight into the complex relationship between the two countries.
El Salvador Community Police Force: A Sign of What Is to Come?
El Salvador's president has launched a community police force in capital San Salvador, a move that is in line with regional calls for alternative citizen security measures that could be an indication of the new government's still vague security strategy.
InSight Crime Search
InSight Crime Special Series
The Zetas in Nuevo Laredo
After the capture of Zetas boss "Z40," Nuevo Laredo is bracing itself for the worst. This investigation breaks down what makes the city such an important trafficking corridor, and what it will take for the Zetas to maintain their grip on the city.
Uruguay's Marijuana Bill
Uruguay is poised to become the first country on the planet to regulate the production, sale, and distribution of the drug.
El Salvador's Gang Truce
The truce between El Salvador's two largest gangs -- the MS-13 and the Barrio 18 -- opens up new possibilities in how to deal with
Juarez After The War
As a bitter war between rival cartels grinds to an end, Ciudad Juarez has lost the title of world murder capital, and is moving towards something more like normality.
The Zetas And The Battle For Monterrey
InSight Crime delves into the Zetas' battle for Mexico's industrial capital, Monterrey, getting to the essence of a criminal gang that defies easy definition.
Slavery in Latin America
InSight Crime coordinated an investigation into modern slavery, looking at how Latin America's criminal groups traffic human beings and force them to work as slaves.
FARC, Peace and Criminalization
The possibility of ending nearly 50 years of civil conflict is being dangled before Colombia. While the vast majority of the Colombian public want to see peace, the enemies of the negotiations appear to be strong, and the risks inherent in the process are high.
Displacement in Latin America
InSight Crime coordinated an investigation into the new face of displacement in Latin America, where organized criminal groups are expanding and forcing people to flee.
Target: Migrants
The growth of organized crime in Mexico and Central America has led to an increase in violence and insecurity across the region, posing challenges to citizens, public security forces, and travelers.
Zetas in Guatemala
Mexico's Zetas have taken Guatemala by storm, and they are testing this country and the rest of the region: fail this test, and Central America sinks deeper into the abyss.

CopyingIf someone copied another person's story, would FicWad do something about it?
|Considering that they state in their philosophy (found on the Help page) that they won't tolerate plagiarism, yeah, I'd say they'd do something about a plagiarized fic - if that's what you mean by "copied".
|Yes. Plagiarism, whether it's word-for-word, paraphrased or overarching original story, is punished on ficwad. As a matter of fact, I think plagiarism, blatand harassment and misrating are just about the only things that aren't allowed on ficwad.
| I would, however, like to point out that we're taking plagarism in the literary sense, not the strict academic sense.
That is, if someone literally copies your story word-for-word we'll act on it, but if they just write a story with the same general premise and plot, we're not going to touch it.

The End of Love premiered at Sundance last year to theaters full of quietly weeping audiences.
[b][url=http://watchdiehard5on linehd.tumblr.com/]Watch Die Hard 5 Online[/url][/b] Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Liam Neeson is in talks to fill out the cast for MacFarlanes Ted follow-up A Million Ways to Die in the West, joining fellow big namers Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, MacFarlane himself, and the second-newest cast member Giovanni Ribisi, which we recently reported on. The plot follows MacFarlanes yellow-bellied sheep farmer, whose girlfriend (Seyfried) leaves him for another man after he chickens out on a gunfight. He falls for another woman (Theron) who rides into town and teaches him how to man up and use a gun. Things get complicated when her rootin tootin outlaw husband (Neeson) shows up, looking for revenge, the farmer get to test his new-found mettle. Neeson sounds perfect for a husband filled with over-the-top rage, and itll be somewhat cathartic if he ends up punching MacFarlane in the face several times during the film.
[b][url=http://watchozthegreat andpowerfulonlinex.webstarts.c om/]Watch Oz The Great And Powerful Online[/url][/b] Neeson was most recently seen as the daughter-rescuing ex-CIA agent in Taken 2, and has a slew of features coming up. Hes currently filming Paul Haggis entangled romantic drama The Third Person with James Franco and Mila Kunis, and is already finished with the action-packed Non-Stop, for which he reteamed with Unknown director Jaume Collet-Serra. As well, hes lent his voice to two upcoming independent animated features, The Nut Job and Khumba.
[b][url=http://watchdeadmandow nonline2013.webstarts.com/]WAT CH DEAD MAN DOWN ONLINE[/url][/b] Do you guys remember the one horror movie that came out a while back that, while it wasnt perfect, did well at the box office, gave critics something nice to say about horror for a change, and never got the substandard remake treatment? No? Thats because it is a figment of someones imagination, or at least a reboot of a figment or someone elses imagination. The Poltergeist remake that everyone has long-expected but has never been asked for has made actual progress today, as Deadline reports MGM has reached through the TV screen to sign Gil Kenan on as director. While his last film, 2008s fantasy adventure City of Embers isnt so relevant, his debut feature was Sony Animations CGI childrens comedy Monster House in 2006, so at least he isnt completely unfamiliar with scary things. He also has the oddball love story A Giant in the pipeline.
[b][url=http://watchjackthegia ntslayeronline2k.tumblr.com/]W atch Jack The Giant Slayer Online[/url][/b] Though the story doesnt say it, its assumed Kenan will be working from the script with a revolving door of contributing writers, including David Lindsay-Abaire, Paul Harris Boardman, Scott Derrickson, Juliet Snowden and Stiles White. All that, and not a Spielberg in the lot of them. In fact, the last thing anyone had heard about this project debunked a rumor that one of the films producers, Sam Raimi, was taking the directing job. The Spielberg-produced original was certainly one of the films that heavily inspired the incessant number of Paranormal Activity films, and all the similar titles that came before and since. Theres a strange twinge of irony in Kenan, best known for more kid-appropriate fare, remaking a very adult film that was probably the most family-friendly film ever made by the original director Tobe Hooper, the man responsible for creating Leatherface and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

Trip of a Lifetime: MINI Takes The States
Road-tripping west with a massive caravan of MINI across America would be a dream come true for any die-hard MINIac. MINI Space's own Axel Griesinger is off on just such a trek with no doubts it will be the trip of a lifetime. The dyed-in-the-wool MINI fan will be on assignment during the entire expedition. With dozens of MINI compatriots joining him for MINI Takes the States — a premium event organized every two years — MINI is set to make its mark on the fruited plains of America.
Axel's Report:
There's an endless number of thrilling adventures that make it into our bucket lists. But let's be honest: how often do we really seek out these unique experiences? Some philosophize about them, others dream about them their entire life, but only a select few actually go through with them. Those who take the toil though, reap the rewards and collect the stories we all wish we had.
What's on my bucket list? How about a 3,900 mile (6,300 kilometres) pilgrimage across the US? Not an uncommon one, true. But if one good turn deserves another, why not also do it in a MINI? That's a match made in heaven, so it's no wonder that a full entourage can be rallied every couple years for MINI Takes the States.
The event organized by MINI takes place every two years and the 2012 edition — the fourth event to date — is titled "Go West." When the black and white checkered flag is drops July 4th in front of the MINI USA Headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, the participants start on an eleven-day adventure through 17 states and 3 time zones. Final destination: Los Angeles, California. The route demands a lot from both the drivers and the cars. From the legendary Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina to the pulsating metropolis of Chicago, through the vast expanse of the Midwest and over the Rocky Mountains, the ride charts through some of the country's most exciting territory.
But it's not just the romantic appeal of the wide open road that has so many of the MINI faithful joining forces for MINI Takes the States. Concerts, exclusive parties, and MINIcross slalom races are all part in store for those who attend.
Nearly 100 MINI drivers have already registered for this trip, with many making their virgin voyage. And for those who don't want to burn quite so many vacation days, it's possible to participate in select stages.
I'll be bringing a European's take on it all, coming straight from Germany. This is one MINIac who went the extra mile to live his dream. The flights are booked, the suitcase packed, and I'm set for some epic MINI reporting. Be sure to follow all the action on Facebook MINI Space and Facebook MINI USA for first-hand impressions and a fan's perspective on this two-week transcontinental MINI initiative.
Want to join the crew? Just follow this link to register: minitakesthestates.com
See you on the road!

Phaneuf: I take responsibility for OT losing goal
May 8, 2013, 11:22 PM EDT
The Toronto Maple Leafs are down 3-1 in their first-round series against the Boston Bruins after David Krejci scored the deciding goal tonight after 13:06 minutes of overtime.
Krejci deserves a lot of credit for his efforts in this game, but the play started when Toronto's Dion Phaneuf attempted to level Nathan Horton in the Leafs' zone, but largely appeared to hit Horton's stick instead. Phaneuf temporarily lost his balance and disrupted his own teammates' ability to follow the play as he tried to remain upright.
That allowed Krejci to drive all the way to Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer without major resistance.
You can watch the play below:
"It's a bad mistake, and a bad time to make it," Phaneuf admitted, according to Sportsnet's John Shannon. "I take responsibility for it. And it's unacceptable."
Phaneuf led the Maple Leafs in playing time (31:14 minutes), hits (10), and blocked shots (six). He also finished with a minus-two rating.
