Burn Her With Fire: Mother Shakes Baby To Death For Interrupting Her During FarmVille
Alexandra V. Tobias, best known for her wonky yet still piercing gaze, shook her 3-month old son to death for interrupting her while playing FarmVille on Facebook. I told you it was the devil's game. Girl, just be thankful I'd never put my hands on a woman because I would beat your f***ing eyes straight.
She told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette "to compose herself," and proceeded to shake him again. The baby may have hit his head during one of the two shakings, she said.
FarmVille, named one of the "worst inventions" in recent decades by Time magazine, has more than 60 million members, most of whom access the game through Facebook. Some players have found it so addicting that they've lost their jobs and racked up debts north of $1,000.
What in the hell's the matter with people? And why does it always seem like the morons WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS (or significant genealogical differences from the other parent) CARING FOR A CHILD the ones that keep having them? Because I'd like to propose a sterilization program. Ha -- did I say sterilization? Because I meant euthanasia by shotgun.
"FarmVille" Interruption Cited in Baby's Murder [mashable]
Thanks to Shenanigans and Jessica, who don't play FarmVille because it's the shittiest game ever invented.

Police Officers shot an armed man after a scuffle that started inside a Parkside store.
A Philadelphia police officer shoots a suspect armed with a gun and a knife after what investigators are calling a violent struggle inside a store that spilled outside here in the city's Parkside section.
Police say they were answering a 911 call of a man with a gun in the 5200 block of Jefferson.
Police followed the suspect into a store…tried to frisk him when they say the suspect fought with three officers…punching one of them in the face.
Everything then spilled outside where police say the suspect pulled a loaded hand gun…prompting another officer to fire once…hitting him in the stomach. He's in critical at Hospital of University of Pennsylvania. Police say the shooting was justified
"The officers were in full uniform, the officers used marked police cars, the suspect clearly knew he was dealing with police. The suspect put up a violent struggle," Chief Inspector Scott Small of the Philadelphia Police Department said.
Police say they used as much restraint as possible. The punched officer has a bruise on his face. The suspect did not have id on him there's no word on what his connection is to this neighborhood.

Chalazion CausesEach of the oil glands, called Meibomian glands, produces oil which flows out of the gland into the tears. The oil exits from each gland through a tiny circular opening just behind the eyelashes of the upper and lower lids. A chalazion is caused by the oil in the gland becoming too thick to flow out of the gland or the opening of the gland being obstructed. Without anywhere to go, the oil builds up inside the gland and forms a lump in the eyelid. The gland wall may break, releasing the oil into the tissue of the eyelid, causing inflammation and sometimes scar tissue. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Chalazion (Lump in Eyelid)

Ensure a solid user/integrator relationship
By Haro Yacoubian
The system integrator/user relationship is of utmost importance for having a successful project. This relationship comes from trust and credibility. It takes into account concrete steps that foster an environment where a relationship can thrive. You cannot underestimate the human factors with respect to cost, organizational, and technical issues in building a quality relationship as outlined in the following key concepts:
1. Think long-term: System integrators must think strategically; this means a thoughtful understanding, attitude, and concerted effort to help the user develop better clarity and order of their needs and translate the project needs into an action plan. As an example, a system integrator can help develop a better scope, outline alternatives, take into account the user's history, and survey the application of new technologies.
2. Be responsive and timely: Responsive-ness and timeliness is the cornerstone of any kind of relationship. That means you should be attentive and able to acknowledge the user's needs, and the user will realize that issues are resolved promptly. It is not unusual that an issue requires some time to resolve. It is the system integrator's duty to keep the user informed even when there is no new information. The frequency of contact and an understanding of the user's preferred modes of communication (in person or by phone, e-mail, or an FTP site) are essential in a growing and thriving user/system integrator relationship.
3. Understand the user's communication styles: Understanding the user's preferred communication style allows for more efficient, smooth, clear and appropriate communication. Actively listening to and learning the hidden messages enhance the user's belief that you have acknowledged and heard the issues. That promotes trust.
Communication frequently depends on the user's and system integrator's styles. System integrators have to modify their approach accordingly if the user is a driver, rational, amiable, or expressive personality.
4. Understand the user's critical issues: An understanding of critical issues removes many roadblocks for a smooth relationship. Frequently the user's critical issues are not obvious and remain hidden. The history of the user's experience with system integrators, the size of the system integrator, and the perceived organization of the system integrator mask the message of the user. It is incumbent on the system integrator to understand the user's specific critical factors and bring them to the forefront for resolution. As an example, a user might mitigate a certain risk by making a suggestion without a clear explanation or emphasize local presence in passing or try to understand if the integrator will assign certain personnel to head up a project.
All these are critical issues that may surface in the qualification or bidding process and could make a difference whether a company awards a project. An understanding of critical issues unveils the user's unstated goals. Once issues are understood, system integrators must assure the user they are on top of these issues and then show plans and concrete steps to address them.
5. Keep your promises: Keeping one's word is a confidence- and trust-building measure that shows a desired consistency of purpose and action. It means that no effort will be spared to make sure that promises are kept and no promises are made that cannot be delivered in the manner promised. With frequent change in technology and organizational demands, system integrators must establish a risk mitigation program to ensure that interdependence on external and internal factors is addressed and that potential risks are minimized and do not become serious impediments for project execution.
As system integrators think long-term, respond to user needs in a timely manner, work closely to understand the user's styles of communication and management, understand and have a plan to address the user's critical issues, and keep their promises, the overall user/system integrator relationship quality is enhanced; and the human factors are taken into consideration appropriately next to the technical and cost issues.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On the eve of a much-anticipated trial, more than 350 Boone County residents have reached a tentative deal with Alpha Natural Resources to resolve their lawsuit claiming coal-slurry pollution contaminated their drinking water.
Lawyers for Alpha and the residents came to terms in a last-ditch settlement conference that Boone Circuit Judge William Thompson had ordered just an hour before jury selection was to begin Tuesday morning in Madison.
Opening arguments were scheduled to start next week, and Thompson also had ordered the lawyers to conduct another mediation session over the weekend. The parties had not been able reach a settlement during a previous mediation.
Roger Decanio, a lawyer for the residents, confirmed that a tentative deal had been reached, as did Alpha media spokesman Ted Pile and a court spokesman.
All sides said terms of the agreement were meant to be confidential, so details were not made public.
The settlement is the second major coal-slurry pollution deal Alpha has made with Southern West Virginia residents involving lawsuits it inherited when it bought Massey Energy Co. in June 2011. A previous agreement resolved claims brought by the residents of the Rawl area of Mingo County.
Slurry is the wastewater created at preparation plants by the cleaning of raw coal before shipping the fuel to the market. For decades, coal operators dumped the material in large above-ground impoundments or injected it underground, often into old mine voids.

How is making a top-notch Merlot like a law firm?
Nestled in premium wine country, a scenic drive northwest of Los Angeles on the storied Pacific Coast Highway, is WFBM's Santa Barbara office. This quaint, coastal community known for its majestic vistas lies between the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and is often referred to as the American Riviera. Once part of Mexico, Santa Barbara is still famous for its Mission, Mission Santa Barbara is considered the "The Queen of the Missions" and is a place that draws thousands of visitors each year. When not visiting the Mission or enjoying the white sand beach, you can visit Santa Barbara's Stearns Wharf to see the catch-of-the-day or spend an afternoon wandering down State Street (where WFBM is located) to enjoy the Spanish-style architecture and browse the many shops. Of course, the nearby boutique wineries are also not to be missed. In addition to being a popular tourist and resort destination, the city economy includes a large service sector, technology, health care, finance, agriculture, manufacturing and local government. Education in particular is well-represented, with five institutions of higher learning on the south coast, including the University of California, Santa Barbara. The county of Santa Barbara is also home to a number of courthouses, within which WFBM has successfully represented clients in the areas of construction, real estate, environmental, products liability, employment and travel law. So how is WFBM like a stellar wine? Creating a quality wine is a labor-intensive practice. The process includes careful analysis, research, monitoring and execution. Clearly, the right methods and procedures are a recipe for success. And WFBM is no exception. We start with skilled minds trained in evaluating and implementing strategies that help execute desirable outcomes. Because in the end, it's the time, care and attention we give to our clients (like wine) that makes all the difference. WFBM - Santa Barbara

The Fanboy Expo, like stepping through the screen of a blockbuster superhero movie, brings comic and movie fans face-to-face with their favorite characters, actors, and artists. For two days, costumed attendees hob-nob with the Highlander, talk shop with Jerry "The King" Lawler , or chat with Lorenzo Lamas about his much publicized transition from starring in Renegade to opening his petting zoo, Lorenzo Lamas' Llamas. In addition to meeting celebrities from silver and small screen sci-fi and fantasy hits, comic book fans can also pick their favorite artist and creator's brain, snagging an autograph in the process. Should they find themselves in need of a new action figure or collectable t-shirt, fans can make their way to a number of merchandise and memorabilia dealer booths throughout the event space.
The independently owned Reel Theatres Movies on the Parkway beckons movie-goers with a fleet of first-run films in a family-friendly setting. The cinematic domicile unspools a rotating roster of blockbusters, including coming attractions The Help, 30 Minutes or Less, and Conan the Barbarian. While awaiting a scheduled appointment with a movie, film-goers can visit the arcade (not included in this Groupon) to train for future real-life encounters with unrelenting Pac-Men. Dolby Surround or DTS Digital Sound envelop eager eardrums with the sounds of cinematic car crashes and sumptuous scores, while the wall-to-wall screens embrace larger-than-life storytelling and giant shadow puppets. An included large bag of freshly popped popcorn inspires buttery thumb-wrestling, while the theater's well-stocked concession stand proffers hot dogs, nachos, candy, and other noshable notions.
Interviewed by Metro Pulse and featured on WBIR Channel 10, the Hard Knox Roller Girls hook Tennessean sports fans with their high-speed bouts, confident maneuvering, and endearingly menacing nicknames.

Watch as Hard Knox's designated jammer racks up points by barreling through the opposition's blockers, like a freight train busting through a movie screen.
The days of dragons, princesses, and magic wands are revived at MagiQuest, an interactive medieval quest experience for all ages. The course takes visitors through a live-action game that creeps through dungeons, a village, and a fairy forest as players encounter myriad characters, sneak through secret doors, defeat a goblin king, and return jewels to the princess.

Something just was not right going through the four corners of Brocton in the last five months.
But this past weekend, history returned to the village. Triumphantly.
The historic Brocton arches are back where they belong, thanks to the support of the community and generous donors. With the arches in place, the only thing that lacks is a real celebration for the village.
"This was truly a community event where everybody came together to refurbish Brocton's arch and allowed it to be put back up," said Brocton Mayor David Hazelton. "Now we can look forward to having it lit, which should happen before July and having it rededicated."
The reconstruction of the arch occurred on a beautiful day in our region. Here's hoping the rededication day will be just as nice.

As the Keystone XL pipeline remains mired in the national debate over environmental safety and climate change, another company, Enbridge Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, is hoping to begin construction early next month on a 600-mile-long pipeline that would carry tar sands from Flanagan, Ill., about 100 miles southwest of Chicago, to the company's terminal in Cushing, Okla. From there the company could move it through existing pipeline to Gulf Coast refineries.
The company is seeking an expedited permit review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its Flanagan South pipeline, which would run parallel to another Enbridge route already in place. Unlike the Keystone project, which crosses an international border and requires State Department approval, the proposed pipeline has attracted little public attention - including among property owners living near the planned route.
Enbridge says it wants to be a good neighbor to the communities the pipeline would pass through, and it has been touting the hundreds of short-term construction jobs it would create. The company also scheduled a series of "open houses" for this week in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois in which it invited the public to come discuss and learn about its plans.
A session Tuesday in Marshall, 90 miles east of Kansas City, drew a handful of Sierra Club protesters armed with fliers denouncing what's been called one of the country's costliest oil spills. It also attracted local politicians, concerned landowners and prospective pipefitters looking for work.
Enbridge responded with an array of free products, from tote bags and tape measures to cookies and key rings.
Wayne McReynolds, one of the 55 people who stopped by the open house in Marshall, said he hoped to learn more about the company's plans to prevent construction runoff from flooding valuable farmland. He said he left the event with only vague assurances, not specific answers.
"You never put the soil back in the trench to the same extent it was taken out," said McReynolds, a retired soil and conservation worker. "It can't be done."
Mike Diel of Macon, Mo., said he's had no luck getting Enbridge or the corps to give him specific details about the project, including a precise pipeline map and copies of emergency response plans.
"We're all worried about oil spills and the tar sands getting into the drinking water," Diel said.
"Until I know where the pipeline is going, how am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to be worried about?" he said.
Enbridge spokeswoman Katie Lange said fears about the pipeline's safety are overblown. She described routine aerial patrols of the pipeline and its seven pump stations and round-the-clock computer monitoring in Calgary that "can shut it down from just a touch of a button" if necessary.
"Once the pipeline is in the ground, there's a very rigorous and robust operations and maintenance program," Lange said.
But Sierra Club lawyer Doug Hayes said those assurances are insufficient, given recent history. A July 2010 rupture of an Enbridge pipeline in Michigan dumped an estimated 1 million gallons of the heavier diluted bitumen into the Kalamazoo River, a 35-mile portion of which remained closed to public access for two years. The U.S. Department of Transportation subsequently fined Enbridge $3.7 million.
More recently, an ExxonMobil pipeline spill in Mayflower, Ark., led to the evacuation of 22 homes and further scrutiny of the long-distance transportation of tar sands oil, a denser substance that is more difficult to clean up.
Lange confirmed that Enbridge is seeking regulatory approval under the Nationwide 12 permit process, which would mean the company wouldn't be obligated to follow more rigorous Clean Water Act requirements such as public notification or lengthy environmental reviews. Those permits are limited to utility projects in which each water crossing disrupts no more than one-half acre of wetlands. The Flanagan South pipeline would cross the Missouri and Mississippi rivers as well as hundreds of smaller tributaries.
"This is a 600-mile project that will clear everything in its path for a 100-foot right of way," Hayes said. "And they're treating it as thousands of separate, little projects."
The Sierra Club lawyer said the Army Corps rejected several Freedom of Information Act requests seeking more project details, citing an exemption for "deliberative process privilege" designed to protect internal decision-making.
TransCanada of Calgary is also seeking Nationwide 12 status for the Keystone XL project, prompting the Sierra Club to file suit alleging violations of the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. Hayes declined to discuss whether the environmental group also plans a legal challenge to the Flanagan South project.
A spokeswoman in the Army Corps' Kansas City office on Tuesday referred questions about the project's permit status to a regulatory colleague who did not respond.
In western Illinois, local officials eagerly anticipate Enbridge's arrival, said Kim Pierce, executive director of the Macomb Area Economic Development Commission. The company plans to build four pumping stations in the state, including one near Quincy along the Missouri border. In addition to the temporary construction jobs, the region can also expect a purchasing boost at area restaurants, hotels and in equipment sales, she said.
"Come Saturday at quitting time, we can expect a lot of people out, relaxing and purchasing things," she said. "We truly see this as an opportunity. You don't always get that handed to you."
Count Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon among the project's supporters. The two-term Democrat said in March 2012, when Enbridge announced its plans, that the company could add "thousands of jobs" to the state while also providing "a boost to America's energy independence."

Mariano Rivera was held in the bullpen out in right-center field until Neil Diamond had sung the final words of "Sweet Caroline" in the middle of the eighth inning during Tuesday night's All-Star game.
And then the opening notes of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" - his Yankee Stadium theme song but unfamiliar on the road - rang out over the public-address system as the greatest reliever of all-time jogged toward the mound. The record crowd of 45,186 gathered at Citi Field on this humid summer night rose and cheered, knowing this was a moment people will remember much more than the American League's 3-0 victory.
Quiet, reserved and understated during nearly a quarter-century in a sport that took him from Panama to the pantheon of pinstriped pitchers, Rivera was being honored with that rarest of baseball tributes - a solo bow.
As he reached the brown circle in the center of the green diamond, Rivera realized he was the only person on the field.
Sinatra. Springsteen. The Mick - Jagger and Mantle. They all got to stand in the spotlight alone. And now it was Rivera's turn.
He took off his cap, waved it to all sides of the ballpark. He touched his hat to his heart.
His AL All-Star teammates stood by the third-base dugout rail and applauded, just like the fans. So did his NL opponents on the first-base side. With no other players in fair territory, he finally started tossing his warmup pitches to catcher Salvador Perez.
Like Ted Williams at Boston's Fenway Park in 1999 and Cal Ripken Jr. at Seattle's Safeco Field two years later, one man transcended all the rest of the gathered talent.
"You're supposed to know your team is behind you," Rivera said. "I didn't know what to do. Just keep throwing the ball, I guess, because it was so weird."
And then, after a 90-second standing ovation, eight AL position players came on the field. Normalcy resumed. Rivera threw 16 pitches - all cutters - and retired Jean Segura, Allen Craig and Carlos Gomez, sending the side down in order the way he has so many times before.
"He still can pitch for three or four more years. He's the best," Gomez explained. "After I got to the dugout, I say I'm going to be history because I'm the last guy Mariano got out in the All-Star game."
Rivera then walked to the dugout to another standing ovation and was given a hug by Detroit ace Justin Verlander.
"It's kind of surreal for me," Verlander said. "I just wanted to give him the respect and the respect that he deserved, I just happened to be standing out there and I was the first one he came to. That's something that I will never forget."
AL manager Jim Leyland decided to pitch Rivera in the eighth instead of the ninth, worried that if the NL somehow rallied Rivera might not get into the game.
"I just couldn't take any chance," Leyland said. "You know, I'm probably not the most popular manager in baseball. I wanted to make sure I got out of here alive."
Rivera has never allowed an earned run in nine All-Star innings. The only older pitcher to appear in an All-Star game was 47-year-old Satchel Paige 60 years ago, according to STATS. At 43, Rivera was the oldest All-Star since Carlton Fisk in 1991.
Of course, he was selected the All-Star MVP. Never having had a chance for a talk, Mets star David Wright pulled Rivera aside at baseball's red-carpet event before the game.
"Before it was too late, I had enough courage to kind of go grab him and just tell him how much I appreciate his body of work, the way he carries himself, how great of an ambassador he is to this game," Wright said. "Forget about the numbers. Forget about being the greatest closer of all-time. The way he carries himself and the way he goes about his business is special."
After the game, still smiling, sometimes laughing, Rivera spoke in the interview room as his family stood behind him.
"It was tough. It was special," an emotional Rivera said. "Seeing the fans sharing and both teams standing out of the dugout, managers, coaches, players - priceless."
Jose Bautista's fourth-inning sacrifice fly off loser Patrick Corbin stopped a 17-inning scoreless streak for the AL that dated to Adrian Gonzalez's homer off Cliff Lee two years ago in Arizona. J.J. Hardy added an RBI groundout in the fifth, and Jason Kipnis doubled home a run in the eighth off Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel.
Rivera and nine other pitchers combined on a three-hitter, with Chris Sale getting the win. Joe Nathan worked the ninth, handing the final ball to Rivera as the AL ended a three-game losing streak and regained home-field advantage in the World Series.
So even when the Mets hosted the All-Star game for the first time in 49 years, the spotlight fell on a rival Yankee.
Hours after the game, a video board at Citi Field reminded people the All-Stars will gather next year at Minnesota's Target Field.
But the great Rivera won't be among them.
"It's been a privilege," Rivera said to the crowd, speaking on the field after the game. "You guys almost made me cry."

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) - For the first time in more than a decade, bars in downtown Carbondale will be allowed to open on Halloween.
City Council members voted 4-2 on Tuesday to let bars in an area known as "The Strip" operate this year. City officials say they'll allow the bars to open for business as part of a one-year experiment.
The bars have had to shut down for the past 12 years after rioting and vandalism in the college town in far-southern Illinois.
Councilwoman Jane Adams says she supports the change, which will allow three bars to operate.
She says the new regulations won't lead to a "street party."
But Mayor Joel Fritzler voted against the move. He says any Halloween mayhem could hamper development.
Max Scherzer and Chris Sale. Felix Hernandez and Matt Moore.
Heat and more heat.
Even with its own studs such as Matt Harvey and Clayton Kershaw, the National League couldn't match up. The AL's 3-0 victory at Citi Field on Tuesday night was an arms showcase.
"We all came tonight and we brought it," Scherzer said. "You got guys who just can absolutely light up a radar gun, but not only that, throw multiple offspeed pitches for strikes."
It was just the third shutout for the AL, following 1946 at Boston's Fenway Park and 1990 at Chicago's Wrigley Field.
Scherzer, throwing at up to 99 mph, pitched a 1-2-3 first. Sale followed with a pair of perfect innings, reaching 96 mph.
Six up. Six down.
Against baseball's best.
"I don't think I've been a part of a baseball experience like that in my entire life," Sale said.
The rest weren't shabby either, with Greg Holland topping out at 97 and Grant Balfour at 95. Matt Moore, Steve Delabar and Joe Nathan all reached 94, Brett Cecil 93 and Felix Hernandez 92, throwing sinkers on nine of 13 pitches.
Mariano Rivera threw 16 pitches, all cutters ranging from 89-91, in a perfect eighth remembered for his introduction, when the other All-Stars left the field to him alone during a 1 1-2 minute ovation.
The NL managed three hits and one walk for four baserunners in all. And these weren't just any batters, but All-Star sluggers with shining colored spikes and enough honors to fill two dozen trophy dens.
"It's not fun," said David Wright of the host New York Mets. "You think of the broad spectrum of being an All-Star and it gets you excited. And then when you get down to the nitty-gritty and you look in there and you've got to face those pitchers, it's like, `OK, maybe this isn't as fun as I thought it was going to be.' Every guy comes in throwing high 90s with good secondary pitches. And this is difficult."
Carlos Beltran's one-out single to left-center in the fourth against King Felix gave the NL its first baserunner, and pinch runner Andrew McCutchen was stranded on third base when Wright grounded out.
Hernandez isn't used to warming up in the middle of a game.
"It was pretty weird. I don't feel that comfortable that way," he said.
Michael Cuddyer reached on a leadoff walk against Balfour in the sixth, Wright singled softly to center against Greg Holland in the seventh and Paul Goldschmidt doubled to deep right off Nathan in the ninth.
"That's a good lineup we threw out there, a lot of great hitters," NL manager Bruce Bochy said. "They shut us down."

Nightstick TAC-300 Series Polymer & Metal Non-Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight |
The Nightstick TAC-300 Series is a set of non-rechargeable polymer or metal LED tactical flashlights that outperforms most other lights that cost twice as much. Four models are included in the series...the TAC-300 (B, T & Y) and the TAC-350B. With a CREE® LED rated at 180 lumens, combined with a high-efficiency deep parabolic reflector, the TAC-300 Series' beam has an effective range of 190 meters (over 620 feet). A waterproof design in combination with an impact and chemical resistant glass-filled nylon polymer housing (300s) or an aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum housing (350), make the TAC-300 Series one of the toughest set of tactical lights around. The large tail-cap switch provides momentary or constant-on light operations. Running on a pair of included CR-123 Lithium batteries, the TAC-300 Series lights are rated at 3 hours of run-time.

I appreciate the response.. I just downloaded ClamXav and it's a bit cumbersome, as I am not sure where to search.
I agree, I doubt it is a virus, but it definitely is adware/malware because even if I go to ebay/google/gmail, whatever it will consistently throw advertisements in a pop-up. I understand, I could probably Block it, however I would much rather remove it. |
