This article provides a glossary of the main parts of a house and house structure and we give definitions of common home inspection terms used during home inspections or in home inspection reports. Terms defined here may also appear in home inspection standards and home inspection licensing laws. This is a public, consumer information document containing a glossary defining some key terms regarding home inspectors in the United States and Canada. Our page top sketch was published by US DHEW and also by New York State in 1955 (Basic Housing Inspection) or earlier. [1] A key to the numbered items in this house parts list is just below at Glossary of Common House Parts. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Glossary of Common House PartsBecause we have found the the page top sketch (US DHEW and New York State 1955 or earlier [1]) published in several forms with and without a consistent key to the numbered house parts or even consistent numbers, we have made up our own glossary list keyed to that sketch - below. CONTACT us with suggested changes or additions to these terms and definitions. Also see Basic Home Inspection Definitions of Terms, found below. [Click any image to see a larger, detailed view.] 1. Chimney - vent flue gases from fireplaces or heating equipment. See CHIMNEY INSPECTION DIAGNOSIS REPAIR 2. Chimney flue top or chimney cap (if present) 3. Chimney crown or chimney top seal 4. Chimney Flashing seals the roof penetration to avoid leaks into the structure. See CHIMNEY FLASHING Mistakes & Leaks. 5. Masonry fireplace, See FIREPLACES & HEARTHS 6. Fireplace ash pit door. 7. Fireplace ash pit cleanout door. See CHIMNEY CLEANOUT DOORS 8. Fireplace mantel - horizontal trim attached to wall above fireplace opening. See FIREPLACES & HEARTHS 9. Hearth - flat surface in front of the fireplace, protects flooring from fire. See Fireplace Hearth Size 10. Ridge cap or ridge vent (if present) 11. Ridge board 12. Cripple rafters or Jack rafters (between chimney and house eaves - rafters that do not extend the full distance between house eaves and the roof ridge board) 13. Rafter blocking or cross bridging, also found on floor joists and in some wall framing 14. Soffit or lookout or house eaves. The soffit is the enclosed portion of the roof that overhangs the house walls at the roof lower edges. The construction of a typical roof overhang, eave or soffit is shown in our sketch at left. 15. Roof sheathing or roof decking. Also see INSULATION INSPECTION & IMPROVEMENT. 16. Roof shingles (asphalt shingles, clay tiles, slates, wood shingles, or shakes, similar materials) - See ROOFING INSPECTION & REPAIR 17. Drip edge (shown on gable end, used at lower roof edges or eaves). The drip edge is special metal flashing intended to divert water off of the roof lower edges into the roof gutter system. Drip edges should spill into the gutter, not behind it. ROOF FLASHING DEFECTS LIST 18. Gutter (attached over or to fascia board) to collect roof drainage and prevent it from spilling down and along the building walls (leaks) and basement (wet basements). See GUTTERS & DOWNSPOUTS Below we include definitions of trim found at or near the top of building exterior walls and thus (usually) lower than the gutter and soffit: Definition of Cornice molding or cornice trim: The horizontal board running at the top of a building exterior wall is a cornice molding or cornice trim board; some buildings have a decorative cornice while more common on simple residential structures is a plain horizontal trim board. The cornice is also described in some dictionaries as the uppermost part of an entablature. Cornice molding also is used indoors in some buildings and appears as a trim board mounted at the juncture of wall top and ceiling. Definition of frieze board: a frieze board is a horizontal decorative board at the top of a wall or between the cornice and the wall covering; a frieze board may appear on the building exterior or on an interior wall as well. A frieze board may appear alone, without cornice molding. Thus some architects and builders may refer to the horizontal board at the top of the wall, below the soffit as simply the frieze board, omitting any discussion of (the more complex) cornice or cornice trim. See this Greek Revival cornice illustration. Definition of Facia board or fascia trim: The horizontal board running along the outer edge of a soffit, typically covered or mostly covered by a gutter on modern homes, is the fascia board. Dont' confuse fascia board with cornice molding which is below the soffit and in the plane of the wall itself. On some buildings the water table trim is a bit more complex, using at least two pieces of horizontal trim: a narrow board, perhaps 1-3" in width is placed on an angle sloping away from the wall to form a drip cap atop a 6-10" wide horizontal trim board placed flat against the building. The water table trim board is described at item 29 below. 19. Downspouts (conduct roof drainage from the gutters to a destination away from the building or into a storm drain system). See DOWNSPOUT / LEADER DEFECTS 20. Downspout leader or downspout extension (hard to see, behind that front right entry porch column) 21. Gable end and gable-end attic vent. The gable end the house wall on a conventional simple gable roof such as shown in our sketch is the triangular end wall (arrows 17, 22, 23, and 31) See ROOF VENTILATION SPECIFICATIONS 22. Gable end fascia. See notes at 21 above. The gable end fascia is the trim board attached to the roof edges, extending from ridge to lower roof edge, and where a rake overhang is present, covering the outermost rake rafter or barge rafter. 23. Gable end vent or attic vent at gable end (Not shown: rake intake venting may also be found at the gable ends of a home where barge rafters and framing form an overhang at these walls). 24. Wall corner studs or post; STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS & DEFECTS and FRAMING DAMAGE, INSPECTION, REPAIR 25. Wall Stud basic framing unit of wood frame construction building walls 26. Sill plate (rests atop foundation wall, nailed to rim joist and joists) 27. Wall top plate 28. Diagonal wall bracing (not present on all buildings, modern wood frame construction uses plywood or OSB sheathing to provide wall stiffness and protect against "racking" or diagonal movement in the wood framed structure) 29. Wall sheathing - showing diagonal tongue and groove boards, typically 3/4" thick; modern wall sheathing in wood frame construction uses 1/2" thick plywood or OSB sheathing products. Also see INSULATION INSPECTION & IMPROVEMENT. Definition of Water table trim board: The horizontal board running along the bottom of a building exterior wall siding such as common on clapboard-sided homes is often called a water table trim board. Our illustration at left shows the water table horizontal trim board on a building sided with wood clapboards. Best construction practices would include zee flashing atop this board and extending up behind the bottom clapboard just above, or a drip cap atop the water table trim board along with zee flashing. Cornice, frieze and fascia boards and trim are described above at item 16. 30. Floor joist resting on sill plate atop foundation wall. FLOOR, ENGINEERED WOOD & LAMINATES and FLOOR FRAMING & SUBFLOOR for TILE 31. Interior partition wall over fireplace mantel; may be plaster over solid masonry or other construction; 32. Floor joist resting on basement beam or center girder. 33. Flooring underlayment (in 1955 this was red rosin paper or 15# roofing felt). Modern floor underlayment uses at least one thickness of tongue-and groove 3/4" plywood. Where carpeting is to be installed builders may use solid-core plywood to avoid accidental punctures of the flooring through the carpeting (stiletto heeled shoes). See FLOOR DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS
and FLOOR TYPES & DEFECTS 34. Subflooring (shown, diagonal tongue and groove boards) - see #33 above. Additional layers of subflooring over the base underlayment may be installed where tile is to be installed; FLOOR FRAMING & SUBFLOOR for TILE 35. Housewrap or moisture barrier (in 1955 this was red rosin paper or 15# roofing felt). See HOUSEWRAP INSTALLATION DETAILS. Also see INSULATION INSPECTION & IMPROVEMENT. 36. Exterior siding (shown: clapboards) See SIDING TYPES, INSTALLATION, DEFECTS 37. Interior partition wall or center wall partition (may be load bearing, supporting 2nd floor joists) 38. Interior wall covering: Plaster wall scratch coat or masonry for chimney (if present) See PLASTER TYPE IDENTIFICATION and DRYWALL HAZARDS, CHINESE and DRYWALL INSTALLATION Best Practices andDRYWALL MOLD RESISTANT 39. Grade level (top of soil around building). See GRADING, DRAINAGE & SITE WORK 40. Foundation wall, along with wall footings (42) supports the structure and holds back earth where a basement or crawl space is included. See FOUNDATION CRACKS & DAMAGE GUIDE 41. Sill sealer (between sill plate and foundation wall top) 42. Footing, supports the foundation wall. See FOUNDATION DEFECTS OF OMISSION - MISSING 43. Footing drain or foundation drain (perforated pipe + gravel, should extend to daylight to drain by gravity). FOOTING & FOUNDATION DRAINS 44. Poured concrete basement floor slab (floating slab atop compacted fill inside foundation wall) 45. Compacted fill (or gravel atop fill or poly on gravel on fill) below basement floor slab 46. Main girder resting on supporting posts or pockets in foundation walls (not shown but you can see a post to the right of (30). The main girder carries part of the floor joist load, typically through the center of the home. FRAMING DAMAGE, INSPECTION, REPAIR 47. Backfill around foundation wall. See GRADING, DRAINAGE & SITE WORK 48. Rim joist or pier cap (rests on pier top where a continuous foundation wall is not present) 49. Pier, alternative to a continuous foundation wall, piers may support posts that in turn support perimeter girders or beams carrying the building wall loads. 50. Window sash. See WINDOWS & DOORS and see WINDOW TYPES, PHOTO GUIDE 51. Window jamb or window frame 52. Window sash frame 53. Window header 54. Window interior trim 55. Entry porch gable 56. Fireplace ash pit 57. Stair tread. See STAIRS, RAILINGS, LANDINGS, RAMPS 58. Stair riser 59. Stair stringer (structural support for stair treads and risers) 60. Newell post at stair bottom (handrail ends at this post) 61. Stair rail or handrail; on landings or balconies: guardrail. See STAIRS, RAILINGS, LANDINGS, RAMPS 62. Stair baluster. Balusters are the vertical supports enclosing the space between the underside of the stair railing and the stair tread upper surface. Typically spaced 4" o.c. to avoid child hazards. Definitions of Home & Building InspectionTerms
Other Definitions and NotesBuilding Code compliance:ASHI Inspections are focused on in-service conditions and do not certify compliance with building codes. But to be accurately informed and to be able to recognize important defects in the field, ASHI inspectors may refer to various building codes and also to other standards for purposes of training or explanation. In-service building component failuresASHI inspectors operate in that zone of discovery between new constructing code-compliance inspections and post-failure investigations and repair work. Using essentially visual methods home inspectors examine both major building components and small details which offer clues suggesting areas where major repairs may be needed. ASHI's Contribution to other fields Because ASHI has building experts examining residential structures in every U.S. State and Canadian Province, ASHI members present an opportunity to contribute to and share data and field experience with other construction-related professional groups and with trade associations. ...
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Question:What do you call the wide board that runs just below the soffits on the vertical side of the house? This would be the board just above the clapboard on a wooden house. Also, what do you call the same board at the bottom on the clapboard between the clapboard and the foundation? I use to know these terms, but I can't remember them. I do find your online information very useful.

Some architects and builders may refer to the horizontal board at the top of the wall, below the soffit as simply the frieze board, omitting any discussion of (the more complex) cornice or cornice trim. Other sources describe the frieze board as part of a classical entablature located between the architrave and the cornice. But I don't like this usage of architrave when discussing exterior building wall trim because properly an architrave is a decorated / decorative horizontal beam or lintel resting on the top of two or more columns in classical architecture, or found above a building window or door. Definition of entablature: on a classical building the entablature is a combination of decorative elements that rests atop columns, made up typically of an architrave, frieze, and cornice. The term entablature is used then to describe a built-up combination of horizontal decorative components. Definition of facia board or fascia trim: The horizontal board running along the outer edge of a soffit, typically covered or mostly covered by a gutter on modern homes, is the fascia board.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
We were looking for a rare breed of man backstage at Ferragamo: a heterosexual who works in fashion. To make the challenge harder on ourselves—we don't want to disappoint our readers—he had to also be top-notch in the looks department. James Ferragamo, head of Ferragamo Accessories, fit the bill. Our mission? To find out the tastes of a man who knows and likes both fashion and females. Post-show, with a PR nervously hovering behind us, he rolled out press release-style answers. However, later that night, at the Ferragamo exhibition party, after he's downed a few glasses of Champagne, we cornered him again and squeezed him for juicer replies. "I like platforms on women. They accentuate the lines of the legs, and I like the fact that the look was once considered fetishist," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "I like well-tailored trousers and shirts which open to a point were a cleavage is suggested, and not forced upon its audience." So there you have it.

Babbage the teddy bear re-creates Baumgartner skydive
It's the coolest toy stunt since Canadian teens sent a Lego minifig 15 miles into the atmosphere.
A teddy bear named Babbage has sailed high above the Earth to re-create Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking skydive from last year, and may even have outdone the Austrian extreme daredevil.
The toy went up in an air balloon and fell from about 24 miles up, with reports saying it beat Baumgartner's height by about 100 feet. … Read more

After running the Goofy Challenge at Walt Disney World in January, I began thinking about what future races I wanted to run. I started to set my sights on the World Marathon Majors – the six biggest marathons in the world – and began to contemplate which of them I could run. I had already run the NYC Marathon in 2011 and started looking at the other five – Chicago, Boston, London, Berlin, and Tokyo. Since the closest and most accessible was Chicago, I chose to run it.
Having run many races over the last four years, it is very rare that I get to run a race in the evening. Most require me to wake up early to get to the start line to run a predetermined course for 3.1 to 26.2 miles. As a change of pace, I wanted to run the Electric Run, an evening race that appeared to have a mix of rave and race in a 5k fun run.
As a heatwave overtook New York for over a week, the temperatures made running a problem and required much preparation and hydration to take to the roads. The last day of the heatwave fell on the Saturday the race was scheduled and it was downgraded from a 10k race to a four mile fun run in New York City's Central Park.
On a cloudy, humid, 80 degree morning, we gathered in Central Park for a five mile loop to honor Achilles and the handicapped runners they support to run races like the NYC Marathon. Although the sun wasn't out, it was quite hot as we ran the Achilles Hope & Possibility 5M.
For the second year in a row, runners raced around the Meadowlands complex in honor of the Giants in The New York Giants Run of Champions 5K. Unlike last year, which revolved around the Giants winning the Super Bowl, this was a race that merely honored the team and allowed runners the feeling of running down the field towards the goal line to finish the race and know the feeling of running in a touchdown.
I have previously reviewed the Snuggbuds SP-X and found them to be quite good to listen to and to run with. When talking to the fine folks at Snuggbuds at the run expo for the NYC Half Marathon, they gave me a pair of their Pump'd earbuds to see the latest revision of their headphones and see how they have improved over their predecessors.
Every year, the New York Road Runners have very few evening runs. Most of the races are on Saturday and Sunday mornings, predominantly in Central Park. One of the rare, annual exceptions is the American Heart Association Wall Street Run, which runs the streets of the lower tip of the island of Manhattan.
It was still dark as I woke to make my way to Brooklyn for the morning's race. The early start time and the distance between my home meant having to awaken far too early to drive down there, park by Coney Island and take a subway up to where the race began. For the third year in a row, I forced myself to undergo this ritual in order to run the Brooklyn Half Marathon.
Last year, I checked out the Aftershokz sport headphones. Rather than conventional headphones, which go in or over the ears, the Aftershokz used bone conduction technology to create vibrations that transmit through the cheekbones to be heard. Aftershokz has upgraded the design and released the Aftershokz Sportz M2.
Every year in New York City, the marathon is a major event that runs 26.2 miles through all five boroughs. The second biggest race for the New York Road Runners is the NYC Half Marathon, a 13.1 race around Manhattan that 14,500 runners had to run four out of five of the previous year's five borough races or enter via lottery. In 2012, I ran four of the races (Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens) in order to run this year.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Although in stapes surgery successful hearing improvement may be achieved in the majority of patients, unsatisfactory closure of the air-bone gap can be recorded. One of many reasons for unexpected failures of stapes surgery may be the insufficient crimping of a stapes prosthesis onto the incus. The objectives of ...

Camino 1.5 is one of those updates people have been looking forward to, and with good reason.
A lot of regular Camino users (myself included) have supported it over the years precisely because it has retained a sense of simple single purpose - it browses, very well.
But the fact that most other browsers boast many additional features has been a stick the unbelievers have beaten the Camino faithful with. "Why should I use Camino? It doesn't even save sessions," they said. And to an extent, they had a point.
That's changed with 1.5. This update brings with it a list of incredibly useful features that don't break Camino's "good browser" philosophy in the slightest. But they are very welcome and, I'm able to say after a few hours' use, well made too.
The good new stuff includes:
- Vastly improved RSS feed detection and subscribing, including a preference for setting your default RSS reader
- Session saving, so you can cheerfully hit Quit with a pile of tabs open, and Camino will resume from the same state next time you launch it
- Spell checking in form fields
- Flash blocking built-in; this is really nice to see and makes browsing some sites much quicker (also has a noticeable effect on Camino's demands on the processor). Of course, it also makes some sites almost impossible to use…
- Easy migration from Safari, thanks to Camino's reading of Safari's Keychain entries
- Better zooming - the zoom window widget now makes Camino resize to best display the page content, rather than making it fill the screen
- Viewing source code now opens in a new window, not a new tab (at last!)
- A new Move to Trash toolbar button for the Downloads window
I'm a Camino fan, so you'd expect me to say this: but I'll say it anyway. This is a great new version and I can recommend it to everyone. Thanks, Camino team!

Gameday 82 - Thrashers
3:00 pm
Philips Arena
TV: ROOT Sports
Gameday 82. A playoff meeting with Tampa Bay awaits.
No Crosby. No Malkin. No Staal. No Neal. No Fleury.
No worries.
Know your enemy: Thrashing the Blues
What they're saying about the Thrashers:
This year it's more frustrating than before. The team started the season off so very well, even leading the division at one point. And then Jim Slater got hurt, the team's face-off percentage dropped, and puck posession dropped. Compounding that (though I like the return) was the trade of Rich Peverley ithout getting anyone to make up for that face-off ability. When you add the fact that the coach puts people inappropriate to the situation out on the ice (Thorburn, Stapleton, and Schremp out during the dying minutes of today's game, and Stewart, Thorburn, Stapleton, Dvorak, et al are all often put out on the powerplay) and can't seem to figure out how to best manage his goaltending effectively, you have a serious problem.
Season series: Penguins Lead 3-0
Last meeting: December 28, 2010 - Penguins Won 6-3
What we said in our recap:
When Mario Lemieux or Double J would hop over the bench, you couldn't help but get to the edge of your seat. It's an intangible feeling to describe. Any time 66 or 68 was on the ice, something could happen at any given moment, and you wanted to be ready for it. Sidney Crosby, in all that he's done, has never done that for us. He does now. Even something as simple as the first time he touched the puck in this game. He had speed through the neutral zone, confronts the D-man, performs a spin move, and gets off a backhand that had more velocity to it than a Rob Scuderi slap shot.
*Sigh* Those were the days.
Penguins notes:
It's a "maintenance day" for Staal.
Crosby practiced with the team today "due to time constraints and structure of practice."
Thrashers notes:
Speculation that this could be the final Thrashers game in Atlanta.

I know it sounds incredible to want to limit access so, but a social-type site in one southern US city does not need members who can't attend our functions. This is like a widget-repair service in Iowa being swamped by queries from Norway.. nice to get the calls, but no way to actually DO any repairs, and local customers can't get a call through. RE visiting Botswana, It's an idea! I didn't realise how my Q could be taken, but rest assured, it's not origin of the user that is my concern, only proximity to the events we're advertising. We do have international members that regularly visit the area, who found us via word of mouth rather than google search. Honestly, I'm also concerned there is a security expoit or something attracting them.. I have no human graphics on the site, no displayed member e-mails to harvest, so what do they want that they come back to register day after day? Ok. So. Steps taken.. I've done the geo-targeting via google tools. I've changed membership registration to manual admin-validating. I'll try flipping that htaccess file off occasionally and check to see which of them returns.. I know there are several persistant IPs, I'll try to ban those primarily and maybe if I can stop the top 20 I can drop the "ban all except" htaccess file. Final ettiquette question, is it considered rude / topic-bumping to report back on this thread after trying some of these things? Or is it adding helpful info for the next person?
Thanks for so much helpful info!

New challenges arise at screening anniversary
The Congressional mandate for 100-percent screening of air cargo created a good deal of uncertainty for both those in and outside the airfreight industry.
Upon enactment of the Implementing the 9/11 Recommendations Act (2007), many wondered how airlines, forwarders and shippers were going to meet the goal of screening each piece of cargo before loading them onto passenger planes departing from U.S. airports.
Due to industry's dependence on air cargo to support its businesses, the economy and our lives, failure to achieve this goal was not an option.
With the new challenge of meeting this mandate at hand, industry stakeholders congregated at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), where the late air cargo manager Ed Kelly announced an idea to accomplish the challenge. Industry players were originally opposed to considering ideas from this new agency; most TSA passenger-screening strategies had resulted in long lines and delays. The group listened, but only to have cargo avoiding the same fate as passenger screening.
Kelly had spent a fair amount of time in the United Kingdom and had learned about the British system of incorporating supply-chain participants in the cargo screening process. After a few tweaks, plus much discussion with concerned lawmakers, the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) was born.
Initially, CCSP was faced with several unanswered questions. How could the supply chain be trusted to screen? How could shipments screened away from airports arrive with an intact chain of custody? Did the TSA have the resources to enroll, validate and audit program participants?
Another pressing question was how to afford joining the program. Forwarders had to purchase expensive technology to perform screening, and Congress hadn't appropriated money in the budget for this purpose. As with so many mandates from Washington, unfortunately, industry members were asked to implement a law on their own dime.
Congress allowed three years after enactment of the 9/11 act to phase in the requirement. The deadline was met in August 2010; throughout the first year, screening has been relatively transparent.
While many of the early concerns have been resolved, the industry faces some new challenges. There is still no certified technology to screen pallets containing different commodities. The TSA needs to continue its quest to certify this needed equipment, as screeners must now screen each pallet at a piece level.
While shippers in the program now outnumber forwarders, the forwarding community tenders most of the cargo volume, as customers have left the task and responsibility to their freight company. Since businesses want to avoid increased government regulation and oversight, Kelly's initial projection of thousands of shipper enrollees has yet to materialize.
The 9/11 Act covers shipments flying to the United States, but the legislation does not specifically address cargo planes. While this was a concern, industry insiders and policymakers also worried that screening all freight on cargo plans would be impossible without bringing the global economy to a halt. The challenge for 2011 and beyond is how to best mine data submitted in advance of departure to detect dangerous anomalies.
Critics say that submitting shipment data before departure is better than checking every piece of freight. This may be costly; if forced to submit the information too early, operators will lose time to collect shipments. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is currently conducting advanced manifest submission pilot programs, working with industry officials to determine a workable solution.

When most people think of organized crime, they envision the tightly knit mobster families made famous by Hollywood movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas. However, international organized crime is a business with little glamour or romanticism. Global organized crime generally involves the transfer of illegal goods or people across national borders; this is commonly known as smuggling or trafficking. It can also involve the performing of illegal services for someone outside the country, such as money laundering. The annual flow of illegal goods through global organized crime syndicates is valued as high as $650 billion, though estimates vary widely since organized crime syndicates are numerous and operate outside the law.
The largest percentage of this illegal goods trade—approximately half—consists of illicit drugs like marijuana, opium, and cocaine. Trafficking in counterfeit money and goods accounts for more than $200 billion in annual profits for organized crime, and human trafficking brings about $30 billion in criminal gains. Illegal goods that some might immediately associate with global organized crime, such as weapons and diamonds or gold from war-torn regions, account for a far smaller percentage of the smuggling trade.
In general, the flow of illegal goods and services takes place from less prosperous, developing nations to wealthier, developed nations. There are several reasons for this. The trafficked goods may not be available in the developed nation due to strict regulation or unavailability of resources to make the goods. Cocaine, for example, is produced from the coca plant, which only grows natively in certain parts of South America. Another reason is that it may be cheaper to produce the goods in developing nations and smuggle them across the globe than it is to produce the goods domestically. This is often true of counterfeit copies of brand-name merchandise, also known as "knock-offs." Finally, law enforcement and government officials in developing nations may be more susceptible to bribery, since their earnings are far below the minimum standards set in prosperous nations.
Despite the important role played by developing nations in international organized crime, the citizens of these countries benefit the least from it. For example, Afghanistan is the source of nearly all the world's supply of opium, yet opium producers within the country only earn an estimated three to four percent of the profits from the sale of the drug. In addition, the illegal activity often results in damage to or loss of natural resources, violence, and corruption throughout the government of the developing nation. The drug trade in Mexico, for example, has left tens of thousands dead, and has resulted in rampant corruption among the country's government and police.
Global organized crime has its greatest impact at borders or ports of entry that connect countries through legitimate trade routes. This is one reason that Mexico has become the center of a prolonged, bloody drug war: it shares an extensive border with the United States, which remains the largest consumer of illegal drugs in the world. As border officials have attempted to crack down on the flow of illegal goods through normal border checkpoints, organized crime syndicates have come up with creative solutions. Between 2006 and 2010, U.S. drug enforcement and border patrol agents discovered two underground tunnels, each nearly half a mile long, that connected the Mexican town of Tijuana with warehouses on the U.S. side of the border. These secret routes were used for transporting marijuana.
Because organized crime syndicates operate on a global level, it can be difficult to capture or prosecute the true leaders of the operation. On 20 January 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested more than one hundred members of American mafia organizations on charges that included murder and drug trafficking. "Mafia" is the term applied organized crimes families in the United States that have some relation to Italian criminal gangs of the nineteenth century. Even as the heads of these infamous crime families are sent to prison, however, the criminal operations continue under the guidance of their successors. In some cases, the crime bosses continue to oversee their criminal operations even while in prison. The Italian government has attempted to stop such activity among its own mafia prisoners by suspending their right to communicate with outsiders. The European Court of Human Rights has found that the policy in some cases violates European human rights treaties, since it prevents prisoners from speaking with their legal counsel as well as human-rights groups.
One of the few organizations capable of pursuing organized crime leaders on a global level is the International Criminal Police Organization, popularly known as Interpol. With 188 member nations, the reach of Interpol far exceeds any other law enforcement body in the world. However, Interpol agents are not empowered to make arrests; they assist local law enforcement by providing global intelligence, such as a worldwide database of fingerprint and DNA data. In addition, recent evidence suggests that Interpol itself is not above the lure of the profits of organized crime: on 2 June 2010, former president of Interpol Jackie Selebi was convicted in South Africa of corruption charges stemming from actions that occurred during his leadership. Selebi stood accused of receiving bribes from a convicted drug trafficker. He was sentenced to 15 years, but remains free pending appeal.
Infamous Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger was arrested in California on 22 June 2011. The 81-year-old was in his Los Angeles apartment, which he shared with his girlfriend, when police apprehended him. He had been on the run from police for sixteen years and was one of the Federal Bureau of Investigations' most wanted criminals. The inspiration for a mob boss portrayed by actor Jack Nicholson in the 2006 film The Departed, Bulger was wanted for nineteen murders.
Christopher "Dudus" Coke, the alleged head of a major Jamaica-based crime organization, pleaded guilty on 31 August 2011 to racketeering charges in a New York district federal court. Coke was captured last year after five weeks of violent clashes in Kingston, Jamaica, then extradited to the United States. Coke admitted in court to heading the Kingston-based Shower Posse and Presidential Click, two organizations that traffic drugs and weapons.
During 2010 and 2011, an extreme sovereign debt crisis afflicted several European nations, leading to financial bailouts from the European Union and political turmoil in many countries. Italy's longtime prime minister Silvio Berlusconi (1936–) was forced from office in November 2011 amid Italy's growing financial problems. While Berlusconi's political fortunes dwindled and Italy's banks languished, Italy's organized crime syndicates prospered. According to SOS Impresa, an Italian anti-crime group, the Italian mafia has used the country's financial crisis to become the nation's biggest "bank," with profits totaling about 100 billion euros per year, generated mostly through lending at extortionate rates.

Austinites were treated to large-sized snowflakes Tuesday some which stayed on the ground for much of the day. The Pennybaker bridge over Lake Austin on Capital of Texas highway was a site with snow shown in the background looking south on Loop 360. The hike up the hill was another adventure. Not one you treat lightly.
This is tight angle of the Pennybaker Bridge over Lake Austin on the Capital of Texas highway.
Austin high school student CeCe Collins tries to juggle frozen snowballs with not much luck, but she had fun nonetheless. I'm sure all across Austin and Central Texas many classrooms experienced some absentees.

Nicolas Cage the Temple of Gaping Plot Holes...
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets (DVD)
Member Name: LeeRobertAdams
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets (DVD)
Date: 23/08/11
Advantages: Cheerful, ridiculous stuff, with a cast experienced enough to make it work...somehow.
Disadvantages: Utter nonsense from beginning to end.
It's a measure of how much I couldn't give a toss about the "National Treasure" movies that when I finally sat down to watch "Book of Secrets" on a dreary Sunday afternoon, I didn't even know this was the sequel.
But - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Reading reviews afterward, I saw it got a pretty cheerless reception, and I'm surprised - it's decent, unthreathening family fun. Drawing together elements of the Indiana Jones movies as well as the Da Vinci Code, plus a little bit of the abortive Lara Croft series, it actually reminds me more of another under appreciated Disney caper, "One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing". Both films show a cheerful recklessness in piling up improbable situations, although on balance, "Book of Secrets" is probably more far fetched.
A prologue takes us back to the night of April 14th, 1865 - the night of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. John Wilkes Booth and his cohorts enter a pub and approach reputed cryptologist Thomas Gates to decipher a code in Booth's diary. Gates quickly realizes the code reveals the location of a lost city of gold.
Booth nips off to assassinate Lincoln; in the subsequent pandemonium, Gates is shot - before he dies, he tears the page out of the diary and dumps it in the fire. One of the conspirators retrieves a fragment, and Gates dies, leaving his distraught son with a suitably cryptic message; "The debt that all men pay..."
Skip forward 140 years, and Gates' great-great grandson Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) is presenting the tale at a conference, only to be interrupted by sinister antiques dealer Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris), who presents the shred of rescued paper as evidence that Thomas Gates was in fact a co-conspirator in the president's assassination.
If this all sounds a bit dull so far, don't worry - it'll get started soon, and won't let up for another ninety minutes or so.
Ben Gates and his father Patrick (Jon Voight) are suitably distraught about their ancestor's public de-trousering, and seek out the scrap of paper to look for vital clues. With the help of Ben's irritating tech whizz sidekick Riley (Justin Bartha), a man so nerdish he thinks writing books about conspiracy theories is a sure-fire way to pick up chicks, and Ben's ex Abigail (Diane Krueger), they track down the missing piece.
Luckily, Thomas Gates' skills in cryptology run in the family, and Ben is soon able to spot the cipher and crack it - and before you know it, the gang are off on a globetrotting adventure (well, USA, Paris & London-trotting adventure) to clear Thomas' name and locate the city of gold. Naturally, the dastardly Mitch is in pursuit...
What follows is ludicrous in the extreme, but somehow more fun because of it. Ben Gates is a man so good at solving puzzles that he can pretty much do it on the fly, and then he's off on a plane to find the next piece of the puzzle - which tend to be hidden in rather inaccessible places (the Queen's office in Buckingham Palace; the Oval Office in the White House, for example.)
These obstacles are navigated with remarkable ease and the curse of the modern day blockbuster - the ill-defined use of a "Computer". Riley's Apple laptop is a catch all solution for almost any problem, as well as filling in a few gaps in the story.
The computer is modern cinema's standard deus ex machina - an old fashioned example might be: "The hero is stranded on a plane that's about to crash into a mountain. He looks under his seat and finds a parachute, and leaps to safety."
The modern day equivalent might be: "The hero is stranded on a plane that's about to crash into a mountain. He looks under his seat and finds a laptop, and uses it to hack into the plane's onboard computer and steer it virtually to safety."
This rather lazy involvement of computers reached it's peak relatively early, when Jeff Goldblum used his Apple laptop to hack into a flying saucer and download a virus in "Independence Day" - I know Macs are pretty versatile, but --- really???
Another irritation is the ease in which characters pop up either side of the Atlantic; one moment, Mitch is on the blower under the Statue of Liberty; the next, he appears outside Buckingham Palace in what - I may need to see this a second time - seems to be the same scene of Ben & Co breaking into the Queen's office.
Perhaps they could have borrowed the "red lines" from the Indiana Jones movies - the characters get on a plane or boat, and the line does the traveling for them, linking destination to destination across the map until the line approaches it's final destination; the camera moves in, and the next scene begins. It's an effective and atmospheric approach that conveys a long journey without actually showing Indy eating small meals out of a plastic tray, waiting for the stewardess to pass with her trolley so he can get up to visit the toilet, trying to sleep sitting up, that kind of stuff.
Also, in a lighthearted caper such as this, it would be good to see a more cartoonish performance from Ed Harris - we get a few tight lipped sneers here and there, but he's far too civilized to be a dastardly bad guy in this. We know he can do cartoonish, and do cartoonish well - think back to his feral nutjob Blair Sullivan in "Just Cause", for example.
Here, his Mitch Wilkinson, with his standard issue band of goons to do most of the clobbering and shooting for him, even has a bland motive - he doesn't want to find the lost city of gold so he can nick it; he just wants to go down in history as the man who discovered it.
On the plus side, the plot barely pauses for breath long enough for you to feel bad about how daft this all is, and the standout action sequence is a surprisingly effective car chase through the narrow streets of London, which looks a little like something from "Ronin" or one of the "Bourne" films.
At least, I was finding it pretty effective until I saw the red post box. Until that point, I thought the London scenes were shot on location (they may well have been) - but then I realized we were basically being shown a list of all the things an American tourist might want to see when visiting London - Buckingham Palace, Big Ben - check, check.
Then I started to wonder if the chase sequence might actually be filmed on a backlot in Hollywood, and the set designer never made it as far as the souvenir shop at Heathrow. Here's St Paul's, here's a black cab, there's a red double decker bus - I was waiting to see a beefeater or a pearly king might be seen diving out of the way of the oncoming vehicles.
And it is very American, this film - Nicolas Cage is remarkably restrained, and certainly more engaging than he's been for most of the past decade. But his one trademark outburst of shouty over-acting basically involves him ripping the p*ss out of the English accent, yelling things like "Bangers and Mash" at policemen in an exaggerated dialect that makes Dick Van Dyke sound spot on.
Despite all the annoyances, I kept on enjoying it right through to the end; along the way, we pick up Harvey Keitel as a benign FBI agent, and Helen Mirren as Ben's mum; right through to the extended and rather underwhelming Indy-esque finale in the city of gold itself.
One thing that keeps it going is it's stars - the script is hardly a classic, but everyone involved clearly seems to be committed, and when you get Cage, Harris, Voight, Mirren & Keitel all in one movie and enjoying themselves, these old pros can make any old tat fly.
More enjoyable and coherent than the Lara Croft flicks; less self-important than the Da Vinci Code, "Book of Secrets' - and presumably it's prequel - are good old fashioned family fun, destined for that pre-Queen's speech slot on a Christmas Day near you soon.
(This review originally appeared on Ciao! under my alias Midwinter.)
Summary: Don't be a movie snob...switch your brain off and you might have a good time!
