Doctors postponed the discharge of Indian anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare, who was hospitalized Saturday days after ending a hunger strike aimed at drawing attention to his cause, a hospital official told CNN's sister network Tuesday.
Indian anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare was hospitalized Saturday night, days after ending a hunger strike aiming at drawing attention to his cause, a top hospital official told CNN's sister network.
Ailing crusader Anna Hazare called off his three-day hunger strike Wednesday but pledged a campaign against politicians who rejected his version of a landmark bill aimed at fighting endemic corruption.
India's beleaguered government huddled with various political parties Wednesday, trying to come up with a way forward on an anti-corruption bill as ailing, elderly campaigner Anna Hazare continued his fast for a second day to protest legislation he slammed as too weak to deal with endemic graft.
Drama unfolded on two fronts of India's battle against corruption Tuesday night.
A key aide of India's famed anti-corruption activist, Anna Hazare, was assaulted in his office during a television interview Wednesday, TV footage showed.
When Indian activist Anna Hazare last month succeeded in pushing his government to take tougher steps against political dishonesty, victory came only after he endured days on hunger strike.
An Indian anti-corruption activist ended his hunger strike Sunday, a day after parliament resolved to accept his demands to tackle chronic corruption in the country.
India's Parliament resolved Saturday to accept demands raised by 74-year-old activist Anna Hazare to tackle chronic corruption in the country.
India's parliament on Saturday debated demands by a 74-year-old anti-corruption activist in what an opposition leader called a "historic occasion" for lawmakers to come together in the fight against graft.
India's Rahul Gandhi warned lawmakers Friday not to allow the nation's democracy to be undermined, in an apparent criticism of anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare's high-profile hunger strike.
Critics say activist Anna Hazare's hunger strike is undemocratic. CNN's Mallika Kapur reports.

Anti-corruption activists and federal ministers have begun negotiations to end their deadlock over an anti-corruption bill as a 74-year-old campaigner's hunger strike entered its ninth day Wednesday.
India's prime minister Monday called for reforms in the country's slow-paced judicial system as a key measure to fighting corruption as he discounted the notion that a citizen ombudsman alone can eradicate deeply-entrenched graft.
An anti-corruption fast by activist Anna Hazare entered its sixth day Sunday, galvanizing thousands of supporters frustrated with rampant graft throughout India, though some observers said Hazare's methods amount to dictating terms to democratic institutions.
He wears only khadi, a simple garb of homespun cotton, and lives in a small room off a temple in a remote, drought-prone western Indian village. A veteran of the 1965 India-Pakistan war, he retired from the Indian army and took vows of chastity and public service.
Outside the jail where he is staying, though he isn't a prisoner, Indian activist Anna Hazare has a growing crowd of supporters to back him up.
Activist Anna Hazare accepts a deal to begin a public hunger strike to protest government graft in India.
Anna Hazare, the 74-year-old Indian activist set to begin a 15-day hunger strike at a public venue, delivered a message Thursday to the thousands who have taken to the streets in support of his anti-corruption crusade.
A veteran anti-corruption activist has been freed, hours after he and seven supporters were sent to jail for seven days by a court in New Delhi, a prison official said Tuesday.
An anti-corruption activist and more than 1,200 supporters are arrested, sparking protests. CNN's Isha Sesay reports.
India's beleaguered prime minister pledged to introduce a long-pending anti-graft legislation in parliament after a 72-year-old reformist indefinite hunger strike over corruption galvanized public support.
A veteran social activist in India has launched an indefinite hunger strike to seek tough, overarching laws to tackle corruption as a rash of scandals undermined the reputation of the country's government.

The Inflector module in Rails' Active Support library is responsible for the pluralize (as well as singularize, titleize, camelize, etc.) word fun that we all love. But, I often forget about the extra love provided by TextHelper module in ActiveView::Helpers.
I was just about to add a method to my application helper in a recent app that would allow me to pass a count value as well as a string value and get back either a plural or singular form of the word based on the count (using the respective inflector methods). As I started to type out the couple of lines to do this, the light bulb went on. Wait a minute I think Rails already does this for me. Sure enough, fire up the API and there it is in ActionView::Helpers::TextHelpers,
pluralize(count, singular, plural=nil)
In case you haven't looked at the TextHelper module API in a bit, don't forget all the fun stuff that you don't need to re-invent yourself, like: word_wrap, truncate, strip_tags, strip_links, sanitize, highlight, excerpt, etc.

Kokanee Salmon Day is Sept. 14, 2013
Related story: See kokanee salmon at Strawberry Reservoir on September 21.
MANILA — You don't need binoculars or a spotting scope to see kokanee salmon in Sheep Creek — the bright red fish are easy to see once they enter the stream.

But if you attend Kokanee Salmon Day on Sept. 14, bring your binoculars or a spotting scope with you anyway. In addition to the salmon in the stream, you might see some bighorn sheep in the distance. And it's a great place to go birding.
On Sept. 14, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources will hold its annual Kokanee Salmon Day. Viewing runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The event is free, and the viewing site is easy to get to.
Sheep Creek is in northeastern Utah, about six miles south of Manila. The viewing site is at the Scenic Byway turnout where Sheep Creek crosses under state Route 44.
UDWR biologists will be at the site between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Display materials will be available that will help you understand the life history and the behavior of the salmon you see in the stream. Spotting scopes will also be available in case bighorn sheep visit the area, which they usually do during Kokanee Salmon Day.
Fish are close to entering the stream
Kokanee are a land-locked relative of the sockeye salmon found in the Pacific Ocean. Rather than migrating upstream from the ocean, this population migrates upstream from Flaming Gorge Reservoir to spawn in Sheep Creek.
On Aug. 27, biologists said salmon were staging offshore but hadn't entered the stream yet. "It's common in a drought year for them to start the run a week or two later than in wet years," says Ron Stewart, UDWR conservation outreach manager. "We won't start to worry for a few weeks."
In 2011, Stewart says the salmon started entering the stream on Aug. 22. Records kept by the DWR show the salmon have come into the stream as late as Sept. 10.
"Anglers are starting to see salmon changing shape and turning red in the reservoir," Stewart says, "so we hope when they do decide it's time, the spawning run will be good one."
See a wide variety of wildlife
Seeing bright red kokanee salmon makes a trip to Sheep Creek more than worth it. But the salmon are often just one of many wildlife species that have been seen on Kokanee Salmon Day.
"At Sheep Creek, Kokanee Day often becomes 'Wildlife Day,'" Stewart says. "You can often see bighorn sheep, turkeys and other wildlife from the viewing site and the surrounding area."
If bighorns or turkeys appear, Stewart says you'll be able to see them through spotting scopes UDWR biologists will focus on the animals and the birds. Or the biologists can help you spot them so you can see them through your own spotting scope or binoculars.
In addition to bighorn sheep, Stewart says other big mammals, and a large variety of smaller mammals and birds, often pay a visit. "Birds of prey, including golden eagles, kestrels, osprey and vultures, are frequent visitors," Stewart says. "And participants often see or hear sandhill cranes as they fly overhead."
Stewart says driving along one of Utah's first National Scenic Byways (with its spectacular scenery and 18 interpretive sites), fall weather that's usually pleasant, leaves that are changing color, lots of wildlife and a chance to see bright red kokanee salmon make Kokanee Salmon Day an event you won't want to miss.

"Oh The Places You Will Go With Tony Batman" Column In Xcitement Magazine 2013 March Issue
110 Degrees of Separation, Miami to North Dakota is the headline of this months "Oh the Places You Will Go With Tony Batman" column in the Xcitement Magazine, which just hit news stands all over South Florida. The Toony Batman's A Entertainment News is happy to bring you the column below for those who are unable to get a copy of the magazine………… See Below
This month we will take you with us to Providence, RI where we visited the Cadillac Lounge and the guys from the Caddy Shack Show, to Las Vegas for the famed AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, and to Fargo, ND where we visited The Northern Club for the Miss PoleChamp North Contest.
Here's how it all started, we were in Miami, Florida to make a partnership deal with the Planet Platypus Network, after the deal was done and the handshakes were all complete, were ready to leave and go home for a couple of days before we have to go to Vegas for the AVN Awards, the Oscars of Porn.
As we are packing our day bag, the Planet guys ask to get dropped off at the airport, but when we get there they say, you're going with us, the Cadillac Lounge boys want to meet you in person, and off to Providence, RI we go. After hanging out at the Cadillac Lounge for a while, eating a nice Italian meal, we ended up singing the guys from Scumbag Superstars, to do a radio and TV show for our network which will be called, the Caddy Shack. We have a story about the upstairs private dance area and an exotic dancer that will remain nameless for protection purposes… The next morning we all laugh about the two midgets we hung out with, (there is a great video coming of that) and we get back on the plane heading to Miami.
We finally make it to Las Vegas for the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and Awards which were being held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. We were not doing a stage show this year so we spent most of our time talking to all of our porn star friends and drinking. We did see Feature Entertainers Simone Danlustrous, and Ryan Ashley while were there at the AVN. We could not even think of hanging out with JUST porn stars so we headed over to Treasures Gentlemen's Club to see our DJ friend Dane Hansen.. Things got weird when we go in the wrong limo, but after we fixed that we were able to finally experience first hand, the DJ Booth "Under the Stairs". We liked it because a couple exotic dancers came with us and that was just what we needed after spending all day with the porn stars at the Hard Rock Hotel.
We then fly for what seemed like all day and night to get back to Miami from Las Vegas, we are noticing the airlines and airports customer service getting worse every week, anyway we make it to Miami and the next day we make our debut appearance on the PlanetPlatypus.com Network. We had a great time co hosting the Planet Platypus Radio show, and while on the show we took a call form one of our Exotic Dancer friends that proceeded to tell all the listeners about that video of two dancers supposedly fighting over a dollar bill at the Silk Exotic Gentlemen's Club in Juneau Wisconsin. Our friend suggested, not assured us, the tape was a publicity stunt. The first show went well and we are excited about our future in Miami.
Two days after doing the Planet Platypus Show it was time for us to get back on the plane and head from Miami to Fargo, ND so could be on the stage the next day at The Northern Club to host the 2013 Miss PoleChamp North Regional Competition with our girl Katie Sutra. Think about our shock when we stepped off the plane in Fargo at 1AM and being hit with the -32 Degree Wind Chill. When we left South Florida it was 80 degrees and when we finally landed in Fargo North Dakota, negative -32, 32 degrease below zero.
There was a funny moment when we were giving some porn DVDs from the stage, I looked down and said, "Hey; look Paulina James is on the cover of this one, I did a scene with her back in the day" I looked on the back of the case and low and behold, there is was. It only goes on to prove the adage, once you do the porn, it NEVER, that's NEVER really goes away, even if your mainstream acting career wants it to.
The exotic pole dance shows were awesome and everyone did a very good job on their routines but there could only be one winner, and that winner, the New Miss PoleChamp North 2013 was the talented Gara Bare. She deserved the crown and we were very happy with the outcome of the show.
We are out of space and time for this month but make sure you read next month's column as we will be talking about our hosting the Miss PoleChamp Southeast Regional in South Carolina, our hosting of the Sinsational Features Star Search in Battle Creek, Michigan, and the big ribbon cutting grand opening of our new broadcast studio in Miami with the Planet Platypus Network.

MARTIN PEDROZA, WORTH REPEATING, WINNER: "I rode this horse before and this is the kind that once you ride it, you fall in love with it. He was (Rafael) Bejarano's horse, and I picked the horse up after Bejarano had the spill at Del Mar. He ran good and Richard (Mandella) was very happy. But Richard has his own riders and I was hoping to hook up with this horse again someday in the future. Today was the day. I got to know the horse, and it paid off.
"In my country (Panama) they teach you not to be scared in the jockey school. What we do is very dangerous and we just take it a day at a time. If you fall you just have to bounce back and forget about it. If you keep it in the back of your head you won't be successful. When I went down today and I didn't break a bone, I knew I was good to go."
SETH SEMKIN, AGENT AND A MEMBER OF OWNER B. WAYNE HUGHES' TEAM, WORTH REPEATING, WINNER: ''He was very game. Richard (Mandella, who was in Dubai with Champ Pegasus) had always felt if this horse could run over a long distance of ground, he'd be pretty tough, because he's a grinder. He just gallops and gallops, and he always wanted to give him a try. He actually ran a good race at Hollywood Park (last Oct. 21) going a mile and a quarter on the main track (actually Cushion Track, beaten a nose), so this was an opportunity to try an extra long distance and it worked out. It was great.''
NOTES: The winning owner is B. Wayne Hughes of Lexington, Ky., who races as Spendthrift Farm LLC.

In my opinion, yes.
Ok, I have been listening to metal for about 18 years, in all its forms.I have a 40gb ipod full to the brim with metal.Entire catalogues of Black Sabbath,Ozzy,Megadeth,Metallica,Slayer,Priest,AC/DC….you get the picture.
The opening track Painkiller on this album stands on the shoulders of everything on my ipod!In my opinion it is EASILY the best heavy metal song I have ever heard.It has everything,and I mean everything! insane drum intro, awesome guitar riffs, the most insane screaming vocals from Rob Halford, utterly absurd lyrics that fit perfectly.Everytime I hear this song I fall to my knees playing an imaginary flying V, pulling a face like someone has just stuck a red hot poker up my ****
The rest of the album is irrelevant because you MUST own this album for the title track alone.
Like I said before, I love all metal, JP is not my favourite band, and this is not my favourite album.But the song Painkiller stands alone as THE song to define all that is great about this genre of music.
Incidentally, Rob's back and they are touring with the Scorpions, I'll be at the front in leathers, cut off denim jacket, Maiden patch (Piece of Mind), arms raised to the heavens.See you there!!

Backpacker Magazine – August 2008
America's first national park is a playground for grizzlies, wolves, moose, and hikers (not in that order).
The Trip
Tour the zoo Hike from Buffalo Plateau to Pebble Creek via Slough Creek on the lookout for big meat-eaters.
Planning your inaugural hike in America's oldest park can be a little daunting, like ordering dinner the first time you go to Berkeley's Chez Panisse. We're here to help. Order the trout-laden stream tour and walk this barely known tour of Yellowstone. Along the way, you'll see bison, moose, and pronghorn while hugging cold, rushing creeks to fend off the summer heat.
Your trip kicks off with a three-mile lollygag on the Hellroaring Creek Trail, off the Grand Loop Road near the town of Mammoth. Bounce over the suspension bridge spanning the Yellowstone River and set up camp near the Buffalo Plateau Trail. Tomorrow you'll tackle a grueling 10-mile, 3,000-foot trek up Buffalo Plateau, a sage-covered upland where herds of bison and antelope come to nibble knee-high grass. The climb then tilts up for another two miles, into a dense Douglas fir forest and the Absaroka Primitive Area. Avoid the steep trail to your left, staying on the well-marked Buffalo Plateau Trail, where grizzlies occasionally roam. Drop 2,000 feet to Buffalo Fork Creek for a grassy campsite in the kind of isolated valley that makes stockbrokers consider becoming rangers. The six-mile hike on day three includes a stop at Hidden Lake, three miles up-trail from camp. Strip down and jump in. The only voyeurs here are marmots and hawks. Post-dip, head three miles to Slough Creek and bust out your fly rod for some of Yellowstone's best cutthroat fishing (it's catch and release). Then scope a campsite along the soft banks of the river, where clumps of pine offer shelter from rainstorms and the grass-covered riverbanks encourage toe-dipping.
On day four, you're headed toward Cutoff Peak, the towering 10,663-foot giant at the head of Slough Creek Valley. At the confluence of Slough and Elk Tongue Creeks, turn right onto the Elk Tongue Creek Trail and power up four miles and 2,600 feet to Bliss Pass, with sublime views of the entire Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. The trail drops steeply to Pebble Creek; camp near the water in one of Yellowstone's most beautiful backcountry sites.
Take your time strolling out the final day's 7.5 miles to the Pebble Creek Campground, passing beneath 10,404-foot Baronette Peak and Mt. Hornaday. Hop into your shuttle car and drive back to the trailhead at Pebble Creek.
>> Plan B: Heart Lake to Mt. Sheridan From the South Entrance (a 70-mile drive through the park) hit the Heart Lake/Mt. Sheridan area for a five-day highlights tour: high alpine scenery, fitful geysers, and soakable hot springs. Most people congregate in the middle (geyser basins) and northern areas (Mammoth, Lamar Valley) of the park, alleviating pressure for the classic tours in the south end. Permits for plan B will almost always be available, and, once you navigate the choked roads to get to the trailhead, you're on your own.
Pelican Creek trail bridge washed out about 3 miles in. Great hike over open areas. Bison and deer and elk. Wild flowers and blue skies. July 11.
Lone Star Geyser Trail on July 12. Great short hike to remote geyser. Be aware....bugs are BAD along the way.
Make sure u walk down white creek from the Great fountain geyser. You will see some nice blue pools, and a couple of small geysers by the river. Trail ends at two small waterfalls at the end of the valley. You will loose the trail a bit but just keep following the river.You should have this off boardwalk trail to yourself.
For the active visitor, the park has thousands of miles of trails from dayhikes to backcountry explorations. The main attractions are all located on the grand loop road and here are some of the top reasons to visit the park. http://www.wildlifeworld360.com
I have spent a lot of time in the Yellowstone area and am always skeptical when I see guides like this. But I have to say that I am very impressed. They recommended great hikes that will give you a good understanding of the diversity of this amazing ecosystem. If you are in for a little longer and more remote experience, try hiking the Thorofare region in the SE corner of the park.
Make SURE you don't stay too long at Old Faithful. Some of the coolest geyser's are behind it and down stream along the wooden path. An hour of two before sunset makes for some very pretty photographs.

Meadow Razor
Just below the steep south face of the ridge Lower Bohinj Mountains, just a few miles west of Vogel, lies a beautiful, sunny meadow Razor. To most of the more enthusiastic mountain climbers this is only a midway point of the trip from Črna prst of Mt. Krn. It's location, views of the Tolmin and breathtaking view of the mountain wall just above it are good enough reasons, for an independent tour. At meadow Razor runs several routes. The easiest one from meadow Stador but much prettier and more diverse is the way from Tolminske Ravne trough mountain pass Plazje.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

BLOGGER: JEFF BARAK Mobile money and mobile banking are seen by service providers in emerging markets as the top services they will be providing over the next half-decade, according to the recently published Connected World 2010: A survey of emerging markets. A classic example of the need for mobile money is Haiti, and not just because of the devastation of this year's tragic earthquake, which destroyed much of the country's infrastructure and financial systems, as well as most of the country's copper network. Even before the earthquake, fewer than 10 percent of Haitians had ever used a commercial bank, according […] More >>

Quote from: 1sparkybuc on January 31, 2013, 12:31:21 PMDominik has done nothing for the OL in the draft since he became GM. I'd prefer he sign bonafide players in FA personally, over a crapshoot draft choice any day of the week. He gets a pass from me when he signs an All Pro to sure up the line. We need to add some youth, but there are more glaring needs all across the defensive side of the ball.
Dominik has done nothing for the OL in the draft since he became GM.
If the Bucs take Rhodes with the 13th overall pick, they won't be reaching because he is the best CB prospect in this draft. Milliner would also be a solid pick at 13.
Dominik has done nothing for the OL in the draft since he became GM. In order for Doug to thrive and Josh to survive, now is the time to snag an impact player for 2013 and beyond. Address CB in free agency and later in the draft. If not OL then an impact DT to pair up with McCoy. I'd replace Q. Black with Watson. We don't need to draft a LB or a DE. We need to resign Bennett and get Clayborn and Bowers more experience. An average FA CB will upgrade our defensive backfield. We can't depend on rookies completely. Talent alone won't get the job done. Wright is likely gone, but he shouldn't be that hard to replace. Revis would be great but too costly.

Social media and 'smart' technologies are transforming humanitarian assistance and disaster relief from every perspective. For disaster survivors it means the ability to send up a 'smoke signal' to friends, family, first responders, and the world at large. For first responders, it means a new set of channels to monitor unfolding and evolving situations. As technological solutions emerge, social relationships to facilitate the exchange of information become vital to effective recovery and relief efforts.
Key questions include: How can government partners, humanitarian organizations, and other entities productively and safely share information? What are the guidelines? What should information technologists know about creating new tools for responders and affected communities? What should communities expect? What should they demand?
HA/DR Tech workshop is designed to address those issues. Utilizing lessons learned from recent disaster responses and international virtual exercises. Workshop speakers will highlight ethics of information sharing including information privacy, transparency, and collaboration between organizations.
Workshop participants from U.S. government, non-government, and international relief agencies, military communities, and academia will be invited to dialogue with social scientists, information technologists, and humanitarian assistance agencies involved in deploying information and communication technology tools in disaster. Goals of the workshop include identifying strategies to facilitate interorganizational information sharing and collaboration, development and use of open source technologies, and mobilization of volunteer efforts for situational updates.
Workshop registration is open until all slots are filled. Please follow this link to register for the conference. Sessions will be held at the Colorado Springs Marriott.
Workshop is sponsored by ONR and will be hosted by the Trauma, Health and Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Chargers WR Vincent Jackson's agents said Sunday a trade for their client fell through on Saturday, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Sunday.
"The reason the deal didn't happen was because the Chargers were asking for too much," Jonathan Feinsod, one of Jackson's agents, told the Union-Tribune Sunday.
Chargers GM A.J. Smith would not comment Sunday, the Union-Tribune reported.
Jackson, 27, caught 68 passes for 1,167 yards and nine TDs in 2009. He has been suspended for the first three games of the season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He is also on the roster-exempt list, which requires him to sit out three games after signing a contract.

Remember Me
Letter to the Editor:A review of the walleye bag limit lake list for Vilas County shows that 60 of the five-bag lakes are either no public access lakes, lakes that had no walleyes until stocked by someone or both — and many of those 60 lakes, in fact the great majority — have no significant walleye population, if any, at all.
I think the same is true of lakes all across the "ceded area." Their inclusion on the list of lakes with walleye available for tribal harvest allows the tribe to not claim a percent from those lakes, which then allows the tribe to increase the percentage claimed from lakes that have walleye and public access, while still not exceeding the 50% they are allowed from total allowable catch in the ceded area. Call it creative bookkeeping, smoke and mirrors, or whatever, the bottom line is the tribes claim in excess of 50% of the allowable catch in public waters available to the average angler, and it's past time for a correction. The same holds true for muskie, by the way. Secondly, the governor's walleye initiative won't help our bag limit. The tribes can still claim enough fish to reduce the bag limit to two, one or none, no matter how many fish are present in the lake. We continue to waste licensee money by stocking lakes that have little or no natural reproduction because they never had a natural walleye population, and/or lack suitable spawning habitat. Our money would be much better spent by habitat work that would enhance natural reproduction. In some lakes that would require removal of invasive species, such as smelt and rusty crayfish, and milfoil and curly leaf pondweed.Walleye are not a "put and take" fish, they need time to grow and reproduce. It's difficult to develop a quality walleye fishery when everyone wants to keep them, and doubly difficult when one of the parties sharing the resource either doesn't get it or doesn't care.Finally, the Department of Natural Resources can increase the bag limits regardless of tribal harvest by shortening the angler's season. This is a part of the court agreement which has never been implemented, but is an option available.Duane HarpsterBoulder Junction

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Four people arrested in connection with the weekend slayings of two women and two men outside a Northridge boarding house agreed today to be extradited from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
The suspects, who were arrested Monday at the Silverton hotel and casino near the Las Vegas Strip, have not yet been charged with any crimes stemming from the quadruple slaying that occurred around 4:30 a.m. Sunday in the 17400 block of Devonshire Street.
Ka Pasasouk, 31, of Los Angeles, was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Also in custody were Howard Alcantara, 30, of Glendale; Donna Rabulan, 30, of Los Angeles; and Christina Neal, 31, of Los Angeles. Alcantara, Rabulan and Neal were all booked on suspicion of aiding a felon. Alcantara was also booked on suspicion of robbery, police said.
At a court hearing today in Las Vegas, all four suspects agreed not to fight extradition to Los Angeles. It was not immediately clear when they would be brought back to the Southland.
The victims of Sunday's shooting were identified today by the Los Angeles County coroner's office as: Amanda Ghossen, 24, of Monterey Park; Jennifer Kim, 26, of Montebello; Robert Calabia, 34, of Los Angeles; and Teofilo Navales, 49, of Castaic.
Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck has declined to provide specifics about what led detectives to the suspects or the motive for the killings. But he has said the arrests resulted from 43 hours of work by eight teams of LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division detectives and that the killings stemmed from a dispute and were not random.
"People can be somewhat comforted by the fact that these individuals were all known to each other. This was not a random occurrence. It evolved from a dispute," Beck told reporters today. "We are quite content we will be able to explain the motive to the District Attorney."
According to the LAPD, the victims had been visiting friends at the house on Devonshire Street when they were fatally shot. Neighbors had reported hearing screaming and gunshots and the victims were found outside the house, police said.
The owner of the boarding house told media outlets that none of the victims lived at the home, nor did they have any connection with anyone who lived there. He also denied that he was running a boarding house.
The owner told the Los Angeles Times that he lives at the house and was asleep inside when the shootings occurred but didn't hear anything.
City Councilman Mitchell Englander said the property was an unlicensed boarding home but had not been a problem location for police.
Meanwhile, questions were being raised by some local officials about whether Pasasouk -- the alleged gunman in Sunday's shooting -- should have been out of custody. He was on probation at the time of the killings after serving about two weeks in jail for a no-contest plea to methamphetamine possession. Pasasouk also had multiple convictions dating back to 2004.
Pasasouk was released from prison in January under the state's new realignment law that allows for the early release of state prisoners serving time for non-violent, non-serious or non-sexual offenses. The realignment was enacted under legislation known as AB109 and is designed to reduce state prison costs and overcrowding. But Pasasouk repeatedly failed to check in with a Los Angeles County probation officer after his release, L.A. County Probation Department Deputy Chief of Adult Field Services Reaver Bingham said.
Pasasouk, who had a significant criminal history prior to the offense that qualified him for release, was arrested again in early September for drug possession.
"We recommended that probation be denied and that he go to state prison," Bingham said. "We did not want him in the community."
But in mid-September, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge -- noting there were no weapons involved in the drug offense -- sentenced Pasasouk to spend about two weeks in jail and then serve probation.
Pasasouk was late for a follow up hearing on Nov. 14, at which he violated his probation by failing to show proof he was enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program, Bingham said.
After repeated non-compliance with the terms of his probation, officials began the process of issuing a warrant for Pasasouk's arrest. That process was continuing when the Northridge shootings occurred, Bingham said.
Speaking to reporters this morning, Beck said he could not say whether Pasasouk would have still been in custody without the realignment program.
"What I can say though is that he certainly would have had an increased level of scrutiny via probation or parole absent 109," Beck said. "This is a discussion that law enforcement and all of California are struggling with.
"... I understand that the state needs to cut its incarceration budget. I just don't want it done on the backs of the people of Los Angeles," he said.
Bingham declined to comment on Beck's statement, except to say, "The probation department works very hard to engage in public safety and put public safety as our first and foremost priority."
The department will conduct an evaluation and internal review of the policies and procedures that were applied in Pasasouk's case, Bingham said.

Bossier Sheriff's deputies arrested a Haughton man late Wednesday after a nearly two-hour standoff at his residence in Dogwood, where they say he intended to blow up his house in the residential neighborhood.
Deputies arrived at the house shortly before 5 p.m. after being called by a neighbor who told them that the man who lived in the 2600 block of Southcrest Drive had turned on the gas inside his house and was going to blow it up.
Deputies immediately began evacuating about two dozen houses in the area as a safety precaution. Then they called the man to begin negotiations.
They say the man "would talk for a while, get upset, and repeatedly hang up on negotiators."
About 15 minutes after deputies cut off the gas to the house, the man walked into the backyard, and he was quickly arrested.
Joseph Drozd, 59, was arrested in connection with the incident. He has pending charges of terrorizing, aggravated battery and resisting arrest by force.
He was taken to LSU Health for evaluation.

Design by Jeremy Walton, 2002. Candle collection.
Hand made with fully refined paraffin
Dimensions: 57mm x 57mm x 155mm
Jeremy Walton has been inspired by matchboxes since moving to Denmark. "The use of candles is an essential ingredient for what in Danish is called 'Hyggeligt' – cosy togetherness perfected by Scandinavians. The regular burning of candles results in a noticeable amount of matchboxes in peoples homes"
An original idea using two commonly found objects, a pillar candle and a household matchbox. The two items that have been in our daily lives for many years. The combination of the two fit both perfectly in function while also effortlessly in form. This combination creates a simple and instantly understandable object.
The Hygge-lys candle was originally made using standard hobby shop candle moulds and with a bit of luck the size of a standard matchbox fitted perfectly into the mould.
After selection by the designer Louise Campbell for the Danish Crafts 'Defore Exhibition' the production of the candle was moved from Jeremys Kitchen to a local candle maker. In 2004 the Candle was selected to represent Danish Crafts in the Crafts Collection and subsequently selected as part of CC+ for MoMA.
The production of the candles has been upgraded slightly with use of specially made forms.
The candles are still hand made in Denmark on the east cost of Jutland by one of the best candle makers in Denmark. The candles have gained recognition across many countries since being a part of the MoMA retail collection and included in their widely distributed catalogue. This has all contributed in development of the candle collections international recognition.
"This is cool – This IS cool"
Dec. 6: Elizabeth Mayhew from Real Simple magazine shows NBC "Today" show host Katie Couric some great gifts under $50 for everyone in your life.
Here's a gift they haven't seen before … a paraffin candle with a built-in matchbox. It's functional, minimalist design keeps matches within easy reach and is sure to please modernists and traditionalists alike. Don't worry — the wick runs out before it reaches the matches, so you won't burn the house down.
If you don't care for the way their Christmas studio looks, you can fast forward to 1 minute 20 seconds. That is real simple. Check out the video link.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Availability: Limited, I'm currently focusing on other ventures, but you are welcome to get in contact for updates. my current plan with the HyygeLys candle is, at some point, to relaunch it with better backaging and replace the matchsticks in the matchbox with a mini book about matches (due to transport complications with the matchsticks)

Suzanne Basso and the Murder of Louis 'Buddy' Musso
Falling in Love
Buddy Musso could have two-stepped all the way to Texas.
He was finally in love, after nearly two decades of yearning for companionship and romance.
Musso, 59, met Sue Basso in the spring of 1997 at a church bazaar near his home in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.
She was visiting from Houston. Their long-distance relationship moved along quickly.
Musso mooned over the woman. He would blush like a teenager after every phone call, then tell friends all about the woman he called "my lady love."
Within months Musso was making plans to move to the Lone Star State to live with Basso.
Musso's friends were happy for him, but there were concerns. He was mentally handicapped, with a diminished intellectual capacity that some gauged as modest as that of an 8-year-old.
On the other hand, why shouldn't he be allowed to fall in love?
Musso had been married as a young man, but his wife had died of cancer in 1980, two years after giving birth to their son, Tony.
Buddy Musso had been lonely ever since.
He worked as a grocery bagger at ShopRite and lived at an assisted-living home in Cliffside Park, across the Hudson River from upper Manhattan.
His fellow residents were protective of him. He dreamed of being a cowboy singer, and he could make anyone smile with his slightly off-key renditions of country-western hits he learned from the radio.
"He was so affectionate," neighbor Jean Albanese told a New Jersey newspaper reporter. "If you gave him a little bit of attention, he became very attached to you."
Albanese and others worried about the motivations of Sue Basso, who was grossly overweight and, at 44, 15 years younger than Musso. Why was she so eager for him to move to Houston?
Despite the gossip, Musso began shipping his meager possessions to Basso's home in Jacinto City, Texas, just outside Houston.
Using his Social Security check, he bought a cheap engagement ring and a new set of Western duds for the trip.
He bid his friends goodbye and told them to prepare for a big wedding reception at the Cliffside Park Legion Hall.
On June 14, 1998, he boarded a Greyhound bus wearing pointy-toed boots, a neckerchief and a new cowboy hat.
In Houston, his lady love was eagerly awaiting his arrival.

EPA comments on Iowa's Nutrient Reduction Strategy
• This agency is pleased to see that the accountability and verification measures and public reporting sections of the draft strategy outline a number of actions that meet the objectives of the March 2011 EPA memorandum. The final strategy should include a schedule for putting these actions in place.
• The draft strategy tasks the Water Resources Coordinating Council to develop indicators of success and annually evaluate the need for updates to the strategy. The EPA requests the opportunity to participate in the Water Resources Coordinating Council activities related to the nutrient reduction strategy.
• The strategy should explicitly establish how progress will be monitored/measured. For example, will measurements be applied to the quality of water leaving Iowa? We recommend evaluating existing data and measures from state and federal agencies to develop indicators of success. For example, since the NPSMP and nutrient reduction strategy goals are the same-improving water quality-there are opportunities for similar/same measures and joint reporting.
• The draft strategy is unclear where nutrient reductions will be measured and/or modeled as there are references to "edge of state" and "edge of watershed." Please provide clarification about how and where nutrient reductions will be measured or quantified. (Is there an inventory of nutrients entering/leaving Iowa?)
• The draft strategy references operational plans. Are these operational plans for action items listed in the strategy? The strategy should include specific action steps, milestones and timelines for implementation of actions included in the strategy.

A teenage boy was shot to death Wednesday night in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side.
Venzel Richardson was walking with two other people in the 6100 block of South Vernon Avenue about 8:20 p.m. when a white van drove up and someone inside fired shots at the group before driving away, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Richardson, of the 6400 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue, suffered a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:25 p.m.
No one else was injured in the shooting, which appeared to be gang-related, police said.
An autopsy Thursday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner's office.
No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.

Blade On Stuvon by Team Stuvon - almost 2 years ago
"For the past 11 years, my dad (center) has competed in the New York Skate Marathon. When my sister and I were younger, he would have to go by himself. Once we started attending, we realized how important this was to my dad and decided that this was a perfect opportunity to show our support for one of the greatest guys we have ever known. The crowd of people in attendance grows each year, and he continues to be known as Captain Steve, with the world's loudest children at 7am. It's a title that we're proud of. Almost as proud of we are of him. This year, CustomInk made us look better than ever, and we really felt like a team. Rather than having thrown together, hand drawn tshirts, we were proudly flaunting our CustomInk tee's. Captain Steve was able to blade comfortably and we looked good supporting him. Thank you CustomInk for making this marathon one for the record books. ps. Captain Steve took home a bronze medal!"

Since our inception at Crucial Vacuum in 2009, we've went from 1 employee to just passing the double-digits two weeks ago. The number one source of our growth here has been our repeat customers along with word of mouth referrals. We established our philosophy from day one -Â we would spend our time and focus our attention on our customer service and the overall customer experience instead of spending time targeting what our competition is doing.
So, it's time to meet Stephanie. She is the woman behind our rave reviews, our outstanding customer experience and has been an asset to our customers and our company.
Many E-commerce stores and a lot of our competition do not have a phone number to call when there is an issue or challenge. If they do have a phone number and answer it when it rings (sometimes not even in the USA), they focus on the quantity of calls they can get through rather than the quality of the call.
At Crucial Vacuum, we don't rate our employee's performance on average handling time, which is the quantity of calls the customer support center can get through. We also don't measure call times (Stephanie's longest phone call was 1 1/2 hours long). Stephanie is our customer advocate. She is unscripted and in one conversation with her, we know you will know her and develop a strong personal connection with her. She excels in this position because she is allowed to let her amazing personality shine, without worry of holding back. Stephanie deeply understands the importance of keeping our customers satisfied and always finds a solution to any obstacle that we come across. Great Job Steph!
With that said, we have a wall of success in the office. This is where all the letters Stephanie receives are placed. Below are just a few real customer feedback letters from our customers expressing the experience with Stephanie and Crucial Vacuum.
"Muchas gracias! Todo copasetic. I ordered on Saturday and received my bags on Friday. You have good prices and your offer of free shipping led me to choose your company. Now that I received my order, I will add that you have great service and a wonderful attitude. "You" sound young (phrases like "YAY!", "most awesome experience", "with love"), and idealistic (planting a tree for every 1,000 filters purchased). Young also in the sense of not being jaded and taking things for granted. That you are sincere in wanting to give excellent service (because all companies SAY that, but we all know that "talk is cheap"). But in your case, you backed up your talk and I respect and appreciate your intention and your actions." Thank you and I wish your company lots of success. By the way, I send hugs also. ~Alexis
"I received the replacement filter set. Thank you for taking care of this. Your attention to my problem has greatly improved my concerns about your products and service and I intend to leave good feedback with Amazon." Thank you again for your help. ~Don
We value your feedback. Each of our customers are extremely important to us. Customers are the heart of our business. Our goal is to have every customer feel like Alexis and Don with their shopping experience on Crucial Vacuum.

Thief River Falls, Minnesota is struggling with what its Mayor calls, a good problem.
Jim Dagg says the phenomenal growth of local companies has caused a severe housing shortage. In fact, the City could use housing for 400 people right now.
Digikey has already grown to 28-hundred employees. Arctic Cat has another 13-hundred next door and both companies plan to hire hundreds more this year.
However, a severe housing crunch is hindering those new hires. Officials say there just aren't enough places for people to live in Thief River.
Rick Trontvet, Digi-Key: "Hiring employees, creating jobs is kind of a moot point, unless you have housing available for them."
Sixty new homes have sprung up on the City's south side and 80 new apartments units are on the way. But, the Mayor says it won't come close to meeting the overall housing need.
Jim Dagg, Mayor: "We're always open to talk to developers and we'd like more developers to come and talk to us. The City has even looked at buying some property on the edge of town and helping start the development."
Plus, the housing shortage has spilled over to Northland College in Thief River, where an Unmanned Aircraft technician program is growing by leaps and bounds and expected to draw new students from all over the Country.
Curtis Zoller, Northland Aerospace: "When I came aboard we had 7 and we have over 100 students in our program today."
Reporter: "You're expecting quite a few more in the future?"
Zoller: "That's the expectation."
However, a partial remedy may be on the way, at least for the school.
Ann Tempte, Pres. Northland College: "It would be a long term ground lease to the developer to develop, maintain and manage housing for students on our property. That's probably going to be a 110 to 150 bed facility."
Jim Dagg, Mayor: "It's a great problem. But, I wish we would have started this 8 years ago. But we didn't."
Currently, DigiKey runs a commuter bus that hauls 70 of its employees from Grand Forks and Crookston to Thief River, every day.

It's been a rough season for the Milwaukee Brewers. Fresh off a 96-win season that ended with a hard-fought postseason loss to the eventual World Champions, the Brewers figured, at the very least, to be in the hunt for another postseason berth this year.
Instead they're seven games out of first place and seven games under .500.
In a related note, Nyjer Morgan's working on some sort of record. As discovered by our colleagues Brew Crew Ball:
About two weeks ago I wrote a post about an odd statistical quirk involving Nyjer Morgan, who at that point had set a Brewer franchise record by opening the season with 98 consecutive plate appearances without an RBI. I never expected to end up writing a follow-up to that post, but here we are: Morgan has hit .290/.371/.290 in 36 plate appearances since that post, but is still looking for RBI #1.
Morgan made four plate appearances last night and is now up to 134 this season. His 120 at bats to start a season without an RBI are a new major league record*, and he's only the seventh NL player since 1918 and the first since 1969 to break 100 ...
* For non-pitchers. Also, B-Ref's game-by-game data only goes back to 1918, so it's possible there are others from before then.
Last year, Morgan was one of the big reasons for the Brewers' success; after coming from the Nationals in a trade just before Opening Day, Morgan batted 304/357/421 and played outstanding defense in his 119 games. This season he's been among the league's very worst hitters, and his defensive metrics have tumbled too.
Of course Morgan's not alone. Rickie Weeks was another big reason for the Brewers' success last season, and he's been nearly as terrible as Morgan this season. Somehow, and this seems almost impossible, Weeks sports a .153 batting average while playing almost every day. And this comes after three seasons in which Weeks' OPS+'s were 125, 123 and 121 (this season it's 56).
With both of those guys, all you can do is keep writing their names on the lineup card, because they've been good before and you're not going to win without them. It's gotta be frustrating, though. And it's worth mentioning that even with two black holes in the lineup, the Brewers still rank sixth in the National League in scoring.
The real problem's been the pitching/defense, as Milwaukee's starters rank 13th in the National League with a 4.34 ERA, their relievers 14th at 4.43.
Last year, with mostly the same guys, they were sixth and fifth. Which just goes to show how much can change in one year, especially if you're looking at less than two months of numbers in the second year.
Morgan and Weeks will probably come around, and so will the pitchers. It might be too late, though.

It's hard not to notice when your spouse does it, but when kids snore, doctors are now saying parents need to take notice.
After a long day of play, evening brings restful noise to the Stapert household. "They get that deep sleep, heavy, cute snoring where they breath in a little deeper level. Its always a good feeling because they're at peace, they're peaceful,"said Kara Stapert, mother of two and a nurse practitioner in Rapid City. "It's not cute, something that needs to be looked into," said Neurologist Dr. Robert Finley. While about 10% of all children snore, Doctors say only about 1-3% can experience behavioral issues at school as a result. Snoring can be the result of obstructed airways, also known as sleep apnea. "If you notice they're falling asleep in class, it's definitely a big issue with attention span, they're more irritable, and it effects their whole pattern of how they participate and interact with teacher because they're tired," said Stapert. "Children can be sleepy in school, irritable, hard to get along with. It can be bad enough that there's a failure to thrive," said Dr. Finley. While having tonsils removed, or even losing weight can help, doctors advise treating the condition with your pediatrician early on. "With kids, if you can change how they're thinking, you can change basically what they're going to be when they grow up," said Dr. Finley.
"You can use monitoring devices, you can hear their sleeping patterns and you can catch it early, then you yourself can get a better night sleep," said Stapert.Doctors also caution that sleep apnea is strongly genetic, so parents may want to be aware of any family history of the condition.
Dr. Finley advises concerned parents to talk to their pediatrician about overnight sleep monitoring at a sleep center.
