ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- A wanderer of sorts, ultra-marathoner Micah True was always looking for what friends described as "a right path in life" -- from his early days as a professional fighter to the time he spent in Hawaii running trails and living in a cave.
He found that path in the heart of Mexico's Copper Canyon with the Tarahumara, a community of indigenous people known for their extreme running prowess. True, who died last week while running in southwestern New Mexico, dedicated his life to keeping the Tarahumara running traditions alive and to sharing their culture with the world.
The fate of the 50-mile-plus Copper Canyon race True founded and directed for the last several years is now uncertain. This year marked a record turnout, with hundreds of runners participating in the grueling event, which traverses mountains and plunges into deep canyons.
"The race will live on, but time remains to tell how it will live on. Hopefully it will always remain true to his goals," said Nick Coury, who knew True and has run the Copper Canyon race each year since 2009.
True's body was discovered Saturday along a mountain stream in a remote part of the Gila Wilderness. The search began for him days earlier after he failed to return from a routine 12-mile run.
Medical investigators conducted an autopsy Monday to determine what happened to the 58-year-old, but preliminary results have yet to be released. There were no obvious signs of trauma.
Remembered as a legend and an inspiration among runners, True -- nicknamed "Caballo Blanco" -- was known for his big smile and infectious love of running. He had been involved in ultra-marathons for years, but it wasn't until he became friends with the Tarahumara that the direction of his life came into sharp focus.
After a series of injuries and a bit of serendipity, True ended up being a pacer for a Tarahumara runner who was participating in one of the Leadville 100 races in Colorado in the early 1990s. He spent all night running through the mountains for 50 miles, side by side, with the runner.
"That was it. He wanted to find out more. That led him down to the canyons and he basically never came back," said Chris McDougall, a friend of True and author of "Born to Run," which chronicles True's efforts to develop the Copper Canyon race and draw international attention to the Tarahumara way of life and their love of running.
True would spend much of the year living among the Tarahumara, or Raramuri as they are also known. Their lives are hard, but simple, and happiness is never hard to find -- elements that all appealed to True.
McDougall said True understood there was "some really powerful, ancient wisdom still alive down in the canyons." While some might see the Tarahumara as quaint and antiquated, he said their settlements aren't plagued by violent crime, heart disease and cancer are unheard of and being active deep into old age is commonplace.
"What Caballo realized was you could say whatever you want about that kind of a culture, but the fact is they have conquered many things that are defeating the rest of us," McDougall said.
For True, the Copper Canyon race was just as much of a celebration of the simple act of running as it was a chance to help feed the Tarahumara. True would travel back to Boulder, Colo., where he would move furniture and do other odd jobs for a few months to raise money to purchase tons of corn for the participants. The local government eventually began matching his contributions, and this year, prizes of corn and food vouchers were awarded to every finisher.
For Coury, knowing True and spending time with the Tarahumara have been inspirational.
"When you're a young 20-something in college, you're excited about changing the world. You see all these ways to do it and eventually you kind of grow out of it," the 24-year-old runner said. "But he did it and he showed you don't have to be some super person to do it."

A radical proposal: Squat Airbnb hosts' homes to create affordable housing
When I interviewed attorney Joseph Tobener for the story in our current issue on Airbnb being used to take affordable housing units off of the apartment market, he had a interestingly radical idea for get the attention of this scofflaw company and its political supporters, striking a blow for housing justice in the process.
What if hundreds of people, including many who are now homeless, rented out apartments in San Francisco for a night or two and then simply refused to leave?
Under tenant laws in San Francisco, renters have rights from the very beginning, and legally getting rid of someone who paid for just one night through Airbnb could require a long, difficult, and costly eviction process. Hundreds at once would overwhelm the courts and the deputies who carry out evictions for the Sheriff's Department.
"That tenancy on day one law to me as a radical seems like a great way to address homelessness," said Tobener, who got a call for advice from a doctor who sometimes hosts guests through Airbnb and faced that precise problem.
He isn't the only one, as we at the Guardian learned and reported last summer, when San Francisco Rent Board spokesperson Robert Collins confirmed Tobener's interpretation of the law and said the agency has already seen several such cases.
As I wrote in "Into Thin Air" on Aug. 6, "Tenants who rent out their apartments for a few days can even lose their rights to reclaim their homes. Collins cited multiple cases where subletters refused to leave and returning tenants had little legal recourse because 'they would not have a just cause to evict the subtenant because, if they've rented the entire unit, they aren't themselves a resident in the unit.'"
Even in cases where landlords rent out units they own, San Francisco's 1979 rent control ordinance gives tenants rights to due process from the very beginning, making it difficult to get rid of Airbnb guests who decide to become squatters.
Sure, such a radical response to Airbnb's impacts on the city may be breaking a few rules and hurting the credit records of those involved — but is that really any worse than the whole host of laws that Airbnb and its customers are violating in San Francisco everyday? It's at least interesting food for thought.
UPDATE 2/11: Just to clarify, Tobener isn't actually advocating or organizing a campaign to squat in Airbnb apartments. This idea was, as I wrote, "food for thought," something to ponder, a little thought experiment as we try to address Airbnb's illegal business model and the city's affordable housing crisis.
which you would have known if you had read the replies to the same erroneous statement you made earlier today.
Of course, in practice any host with a brain would smell a rat when seeing that the guest who wanted to stay lives in San Francisco. Why would anyone rent a room in the town they already lived in.
Plus landlords develop a sixth sense for activists, advocates and assholes (I use those words interchangeably)
And I suspect some of these activists would probably find physical force used against them to evict them because they would be trespassing past the noon hour. While if they resisted that and posed a threat to the owner, force up to deadly force can be used to protect your home and family.
Throw in that your idea is snide, immoral, illegal, dangerous and ineffective, and I'd say you have done what you always do and hopelessly overplay your hand.
"First of all, a person gains tenancy (or becomes a tenant) in an apartment by living there for 30 days and paying rent. They also gain all rights under rent control (if their building is under it) and state law. No actual written lease is needed in order to be a tenant. Of course, it is better to have something in writing to be able to prove the terms of your tenancy. A tenant in an SRO (Single Room Occupancy hotel) gains her rights under state law after 30 days and her rights under the rent ordinance after 32 days"
Exempt Units:
"Units in hotels, motels, inns, tourist houses, rooming and boarding houses, where the unit has not been occupied by the same tenant for 32 or more continuous days, provided that the landlord has not recovered possession of the unit from the tenant in order to avoid the application of the Rent Ordinance"
That's the issue. And as long as you're doing your legal research, you'll find lots of provisions in the codes that Airbnb violates, so feel free to cite those too.
There are just apartments that may sometimes to be let under Airbnb. They may or may not be under rent control. And rent control rights themselves vary according to whether the Guest owns the unit or rents it themselves.
live/work lofts.
Better do some research before you try and pull this stunt.
overnight guest contravenes ANY city or state law.
There's the tax issue but that doesn't address the right to do temporary lets - only the way it might be taxed.
Yes, it violates many local laws, read this for details: http://www.sfbg.com/2013/08/06/thin-air
been based on your theory that such lets are illegal?
It's not a theory, it's a fact acknowledged by various top city officials and even Airbnb itself, which has been working with Board President David Chiu on legislation for almost a year to address the issue. I cited the laws in my cover story, you can read them yourself. But the city has been unwilling to enforce the law, at least partly because Mayor Ed Lee and Airbnb are both invested in by venture capitalist Ron Conway.
should come to a dead stop at a stop sign or red light.
But in that case, it's completely different, right?
Can you really find no worthier or more noble cause than a few San Franciscans trying to make a little pocket money on the side?
This has nothing to do with cyclists. You might as well be yammering about tax deductions, speed limits, or loitering, it would be just as relevant.
Come back when you have a point to make.
dislikes, and zero enforcement on the laws he dislikes.
We're guessing zero.
Evidently enforcing these alleged laws is not a high priority for voters. Can you imagine?
You misunderstand the quoted language. This exemption under Rent Ordinance 37.2(r)(1) applies specifically to "hotels, motels, etc.". It does not apply to ordinary rental units being sublet on airbnb (i.e. -tenants, including subtenants, have the full protections of the rent ordinance from the moment their tenancy begins). On the other hand, if you rent a room in an SRO or at the Hyatt, you need to be there for 30 days to become a tenant living in a "rental unit" for the purpose of the SF Rent Ordinance. Steven's article is accurate.
He is a guest, boarder or lodger, but has no rights as a tenant.
If he holds over, the owner can physically remove him or have the cops arrest him for trespass.
No, a tenant's right to the full list of rent control protections kicks in after 30 days, but a tenant is a tenant with certain rights immediately upon legally occupying a dwelling. Or as the 1979 rent ordinance (Chapter 37.2 of the SF Administrative Code) defines a tenant: "A person entitled by written or oral agreement, sub-tenancy approved by the landlord, or by sufferance, to occupy a residential dwelling unit to the exclusion of others."
Frankly, I was also surprised to learn of this provision from the Rent Board during my reporting last summer, but that's the law and it's already one being used to squat other people's apartments in San Francisco, according to the Rent Board.
because your casual suggestion could get a guest in a great deal of trouble, and not least because a judge would not look kindly at some duplicitous intent, and would probably see the guest was engaged in deceit, which can invalidate their contractual rights and leave them exposed to personal liability.
I suspect the confusion is because certain rights are protected from day one even if they are not earned and vested until day 30. In practice it usually makes little difference because there is a huge difference between a short-term let and a let designed from the start to last more than 30 days. But you should be giving such glib, cavalier advice without thoroughly researching it.
You'd be better to honestly work to change the law than engage in guerilla tactics that might expensively rebound on your intrepid activist.
Dude, leave Steven be. He obviously made a fool out of himself again. Have some compassion.
Your comment makes no sense. Literally, you just wrote gibberish. The San Francisco Rent Ordinance requires a landlord (including a "master tenant") to have one of the 16 enumerated just causes to terminate a tenancy. There is no difference between a "short-term let" and one designated from the start to last longer under the law because either way the law requires a just cause to terminate the tenancy. The expiration of a lease (even a short-term one) is not a just cause.
An airBnB guest does not have a lease. He has a permit to stay for one night only as a temporary paying guest. No tenancy is established or can be assumed.
liable for the rent for all the days he was squatting, at $150 a day or whatever it is, plus legal and administrative costs.
How many activists are willing to risk 5 or 10 grand of their own money to this?
You can have a nice and pretty judgement signed by a judge that says you're entitled to collect $25,000 from Tenant X, but good luck trying to collect, especially from a foreign tourist or a judgment-proof tenant.
If you know how the landlord-tenant system works in SF, you'll know that it's more likely you'll be paying the squatter just to leave your unit, and you'll be thrilled you got them out within two months and it only cost you $12,000 in legal fees.
And why would a foreign tourist risk a tangle with the much-feared American justice system?
Personally, if I get a judgement against someone, I will pursue them for the rest of their lives, using garnishments, liens, attachments until I collect. Oh, and 10% a year interest accrues, The debtor can never safely buy a home, marry, take a job, invest or do anything else normal.
But hey, go ahead, make my day.
yeah good luck with that. How do you garnish non existent wages? How to you collect 10% interest on payments never made? I would love to see a citation that backs your presumption that you would be able to set the interest rate in the first place.
Sorry, not sorry, I popped your little fantasy with reality.
Evidently you know nothing.
Anyway, it's moot, because a lower like you would never pass even the most basic of credit checks
"yeah good luck with that. How do you garnish non existent wages? How to you collect 10% interest on payments never made?"
LOL. Let me explain, my little droog.
Once you have a legal judgement against you, the moment you get a job, inherit some money, or acquire any money in any other way that is on the books, any collections agency that has been hired or assigned the judgement will sweep in and grab that money.
They are willing to wait ***years*** to collect, as the judgement magically increases 10% a year through the magic of compound interest.
Google "Cashcall collections" if you want to see examples of what collection agencies are willing to do to collect.
If you don't want to pay the judgement, you need to resign yourself to working off the books for the rest of your life.
You are full of shit as usual.
Bad stuff falls off your credit record after seven years.
Collection agencies do not go to court for small amounts and there is a statue of limitations in California of four years on a written contract.
Go crawl back in your hole troll.
And are easy to get.
Property liens in the State of California (and most other states) have a validity period of ten (10) years.
diligent (or obsessive) creditor can keep them forever. Even after his death, his Estate can pursue the debt.
And there's 10% interest every year while he waits.
Good luck getting a judge to enforce what amounts to an illegal contract.
"right" to squat in a place after a one-night rental based on duplicity and deceit.
To win before a judge you need "clean hands" and lying isn't a great start to establishing that.
Judges don't get leeway on what laws they apply. If there's a due process requirement before a landlord can evict anyone from their unit, you better believe a judge will follow the due process rules, regardless of their personal convictions.
While it's true that judges tend to come from the elite classes, whose families own rental real estate, stock and bonds, and while it's true judges generally rule in favor of litigants who also come from the favored elite economic classes, once a judge violates established due process procedures, you can bet they will lose their law license and their judgeship. A judgeship is too cushy a job for even the most biased judge to risk losing their seat. Thus, due process will be followed.
A landlord (almost) always gets their rental property back because of the disproportionate protections of the property owning landlord class verses lowly tenants. But they have to play by the rules. If they can get the tenant out of the unit within two months at a cost of under $25,000 in legal fees, they should be very happy.
judge can and will find for the homeowner. In fact, the judge can instruct that criminal charges of trespass be entered.
An overnight rental is fundamentally different to a month-to month tenancy.
Of course, the bigger risk to a trespasser is violence, as previously noticed. I would show zero tolerance to a home intruder.
"Your honor. I only expected to stay in the unit for the five days I paid for, but I met the most wonderful man here and now I'm confused. I'd like to stay in the unit until I can find other living arrangements. This landlord accuses me of fraud, but he's lying. I changed my mind after I entered into the rental agreement."
Thus, a trial is ordered for the fraud accusation and unlawful detainer action, and the tenant's counter-lawsuit of landlord slander. Expect to pay thousands of dollars for a long discovery process and tens of thousands in legal fees.
As I say, if you can get the tenant out within two months for under $25,000 you'll be the happiest landlord alive. My guess is that you drop the lawsuit in exchange for giving the tenant $15,000 and two weeks to move out, assuming you'e hired a smart landlord attorney.
I don't care what the law is. If I'm on the jury for a case like that, I vote not guilty. If I can't convince my peers, fine. It only takes one of me on any given jury to create a mistrial.
I'm betting that at least 1 in 12 SF citizens agree with me.
trespass, extortion and so on.
And you'd never be selected for a jury because, by your own admission, you'd ignore the law, the facts and the judge and instead be biased and prejudicial
I could get selected without any problem. My background, demeanor and appearance in no way give away my views on the system. And I would know exactly what to say and what not to say. That's a big "if" of course. Usually I say exactly what needs to be said to stay *off* a jury, because my time is much more valuable. Fortunately there are enough poor and unemployed people with plenty of time on their hands who think just like I do. That's why conviction rates are appropriately low in San Francisco.
Oh, and for what it's worth, jury nullification is legal. The system goes to great lengths to prevent juries from using their legal right to interpret and make case law, but they do have that right.
to be selected for a jury on a trial where you have already made up your mind?
Judges lie to juries in their instructions. Prosecutors withhold evidence. And cops just lie through their teeth. Surely you've heard the joke that every lawyer knows:
"How do you tell if a cop is lying on the witness stand? His lips are moving!"
Because others do it too?
And so if I lie on a jury to convict an innocent black kid, that is OK as long as, like you, I feel passionate about it?
Great attitude you have.
The statement that "you changed your mind" proves bad faith and fraud, as well as criminal intent.
But it would never get that far because you would be forcibly removed for trespass.
I'm almost tempted to take you on just to teach you a lesson, but of course you would bottle out.,
Wow. You make so many great points. And since it's so easy, why don't YOU do it first and report back on how you were victorious, okay?
He'd never do it
law where deceit and foul play are employed, as in the manner that Steven is unwisely advocating here.
I personally would LOVE it if an activist tried this on me. I would bury him.
civil disobedience too - in response the judges kept them in jail until they signed binding agreements not to violate the law. After a week most of them broke, in the end they all did. Turns out months of shitty food, strip searches and restricted visits with family broke the back of that civil disobedience movement - and it'll break the back of this one too.
The power of the state can be awesome when brought to bear against zealots who feel they're above the law.
host would call the cops for trespass. When the cops show up they ask the trespasser to provide proof that he lives there e.g. signed lease or utility bill, or even mail for them. Since the trespasser would have none of that the cops would forcibly remove him and/or arrest him.
The cops don't care about civil matters but they do require proof that the guest has a right to be there (and the host for that matter).
Steven's idea is dumb and would land a lot of people in trouble and debt, if not worse.
Cops hate getting into the middle of civil suits. It's the easiest way for them to screw something up, maybe get sued by one of the parties and maybe lose their job. Also remember that cops and sheriffs aren't the brightest people in the world.
Once a tenant shows a receipt for staying in the unit, even if it's for previous days, they'll walk away from the dispute and tell the landlord to contact a lawyer.
Remember that the only reason to do performance squats is to target landlords who are illegally renting their units on craigslist, Airbnb or other short-term rental companies. The entire purpose of the performance squat is to raise awareness of the landlord's illegal behavior, the loss of affordable housing and issues of equity and fairness. If you think a cop wants to get in the middle of that, you're greatly mistaken, especially when people are there videotaping the entire ordeal.
These performance squats will be targeted to landlords who thumb their noses at zoning regulations and possible health and safety violations. The squatters will ahve plenty of time to document irregularities with the building, maybe even discovering illegal building code violations. Tax evasion may come up too when the landlord's tax returns are scrutinized during the legal discovery process.
The idea is to find the most egregious landlords for targeting, not some family who has rented their house for a week or two. Wake up, take a seat, hire a lawyer and smell the popcorn.
I've been on the scene in these situation and the cops show zero tolerance to anyone without clear proof they have a right to be present.
And that's the good solution for you. You don't want to know what the bad solution is, trust me.

Did you know?
Brantley county was formed in 1920 from Charlton, Pierce, and Wayne counties and was named for Benjamin D. Brantley, a member of a prominent local family, although some historians claim the name honored State Senator William Goodman Brantley of Brunswick.
Since the Okefenokee Swamp is to the south and west of the county, passage through Brantley County was essential to the railroads running from the coast through the southern part of the state.

Combine all ingredients
in a blender and mix
until smooth.
Today was Day 1 of my 28-Day Detox. I made the Antioxidant Smoothie for my breakfast. It had a great taste! I was NOT a fan of the fruit seeds, which seems to happen in all fruit smoothies, but maybe a cheesecloth or coffee filter will help remove the seeds for a better consistancy. Since this was my first meal, the first few sips were tart, but not bad. Altogether, it had a great taste. If I can figure out how to remove the seeds, I will have a winner!
Great and healthy breakfast. I use greek yogurt and some water or milk to desired thickness. Pomegranite juice is available at Costco. Large bottle and it lasts forever in fridge.
This smoothie is delicious and so simple to make. I freeze them and eat them with a spoon.
I didn't get Pomegranate Juice from my store. I couldn't find it. Is it ok to drink coconut milk in Week one?
Lol - even in CA this smoothie seems wrong - way better for a hot, summer day.
I've been adding Hemp Powder to smoothies lately. I won't comment on the color it turns things, but it adds so much protein and has a bit of sweetness to it. Thanks for the avocado tip!
Add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt....delicious!
I've been making a small portion of steel cut oatmeal and adding fresh fruit and a little coconut - it's still within the guidelines and warmer than a smoothie!
Does anyone have any ideas on what to eat for breakfast besides a cold smoothie on a cold winter's day??
I added 1/4 avocado - doesn't affect taste, just makes it much smoother - nice on a cold day.

Horsham Police are joining the search for a man suspected in a Bucks and Montgomery County burglary spree following a break-in and theft at an English Village Shopping Center jewelry store, according to NBC10.
Authorities said Jems Jewels and Gold in Horsham Township was burglarized early Wednesday morning in a similar fashion as a string of thefts at Mayfair Jewelers in Newtown Township over the last month, as well as a robbery at the Costco in Montgomery Township.
The man, who authorities described as a white male 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, muscular build with dark hair, is said to have pried open the back door of the Horsham Township store to gain entrance. Authorities said that was the same way the Newtown Township merchant was robbed.
During the Costco theft, the man hid inside the store until after closing, police said. Once the store closed, the suspect is said to have exited his hiding spot, entered the jewelry section of the store and smashed the display counter using a 40-inch TV, police said.
More than $91,000 in jewelry was taken from Costco, police said.
In all instances, the suspect allegedly smashed jewelry cases. In Newtown, he made off with goods valued at more than $100,000, according to NBC10.
Horsham Police have declined to say how much was stolen from Jems Jewels and Gold.

Darthmouth, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts sheriff says former NFL star Aaron Hernandez has been involved in a prison altercation.
Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson says the former New England Patriots tight end had an altercation with another inmate at the Bristol County House of Corrections on Tuesday.
Hodgson says jail staff are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance video to figure out exactly what happened and determine whether charges are warranted.
A jail spokesman says neither inmate was seriously injured.
Hernandez is being held in a segregated housing unit with only a few other inmates.
The 24-year-old Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd. The Boston man was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.

In Genesis 28:10-19, the patriarch Jacob dreams of a ladder, rising from the earth into Heaven. Watching, he saw "the angels also of God ascending and descending by it." In John 1:51, Christ tells His disciple Nathanael that He is Jacob's Ladder: "Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
There is no way to Heaven but through Christ, and all who wish to be saved need to avail themselves of Jacob's Ladder. But the climb is not one that we make alone. In The Ladder of Divine Ascent, the most famous use of the story of Jacob's Ladder as an analogy for the spiritual life, the sixth-century Eastern Christian monk St. John Climacus urges his readers (primarily fellow monastics) to place themselves under a spiritual father and to remain in community. Those who attempt to root out their sins and conquer their passions by themselves quickly fall, and, like the man cleansed of the demon in Luke 11, "the last state of that man becomes worse than the first" (Luke 11:26).
When we see someone we care about struggling, we often say, "You don't need to go it alone." But when it comes to our own struggles, we all too often reject the help of others. If we wish to make spiritual progress, we need to accept the help of others. Then we can grow together in grace.
Christ is the only way to salvation, but our fellow Christians are the girders that help us see Jacob's Ladder for what it is: the strong and sure path to Heaven.

Visiting from Wordless Wednesday….What a fantastic shot! Love the angle, and you couldn't have asked for better colors. Love it!
- February 24, 2010 at 9:59 am(2) Connie G. says:
Scott – great words today. I am struggling through a patch of personal troubles right now and the only way I can make it is by relying on the prayers of friends and family. I am not to proud to ask for help – we all need someone to lean on sometime or another.
- February 24, 2010 at 10:22 am(3) Nancy says:
Scott, this photo is fantastic – I hope everyone reads your powerful words, too. Our Sunday homily was all about this – in relationship to Lent, in particular. We can't do anything alone.
- February 24, 2010 at 10:43 am(4) Pat says:
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
I love the story of Jacob's ladder and this photo is a great visual of a ladder to heaven. I just recently taught this lesson in my after-school Bible club for kids. What an amazing and powerful dream Jacob had. It was one of several experiences that changed him from being a deceiver to a man of God
- February 24, 2010 at 12:14 pm(5) Beth says:
This really resonates with me as well. During this past couple months, if it weren't for for the support of God himself as well as his wonderful minions (in the form of family and friends) I'd have had a much tougher time getting through some severe health issues.
- February 24, 2010 at 9:19 pm(6) Sukhmandir Kaur says:
Very interesting perspective and such a rich color. I don't much care for heights. I think I would personally rather climb a spiritual ladder than that one as ascension depends much on mercy and grace and not my own precarious foothold.
- February 24, 2010 at 10:28 pm(7) Donna Pilato says:
Great photo and perfect illustration of your lesson today.
- February 26, 2010 at 6:39 am(8) Imelda says:
After reading 'Stairaway to Heaven', the first thing that sprang to mind is – what a great analogy.

Stairway to Heaven and Jacob's Ladder both made me do some serious thinking. Thank you!

SALEM — Leandra Clarke, 16, missing from her home in California, is at Salem police headquarters this morning.
Deputy police Chief Shawn Patten said the teen walked into Town Hall just after 9 a.m. today, believing it was the police station.
"The most important thing is she has been located," he said. "And she's safe."
The girl apparently saw her picture on the front page of today's Eagle-Tribune and wanted to let authorities she was OK.
Patten said he didn't know yet what would happen next, but was just glad the teenager was safe.
Her grandmother, 59-year-old Kathleen Willett of Pelham, was in court yesterday, arrested on a fugitive warrant out of Irvine, Calif., alleging felony child abduction.
Leandra apparently left home after an argument with her mother, Pelham police said. It wasn't the first time she has run away, police said.
Pelham police said they believe Willett brought her granddaughter here in early July.
Willett is being held on $40,000 cash bail and is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 3.


text: Yayoi is shy and easily embarrassed, but she also carries a bubbly energetic atmosphere around her. Part of it might be due to her bright yellow hair, but a lot of it can be attributed to her cute smiles and the energy that radiates out from her embarrassed reactions. It's as if all the energy she saved by being shy and reserved is let out in a cute burst. I'm glad to see that they didn't overdo her crybaby tendencies, and they're just enough to make you think she's cute and not too much that you feel like punching her in the face. Continue reading

MoveOn.org is a left-leaning political advocacy group. It endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.
Recent statements involving MoveOn.org
Gov. Rick Scott "tried to kick 180,000 people off the voter rolls."
"Every one of the 67 supervisors of elections" in Florida refused to carry out the effort to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls.
Changes, yes. Dramatically. But program still exists, and those turning 65 before 2022 would see no change
The newly proposed House Republican budget "abolishes Medicare within 10 years."
Senators who have accepted millions in campaign contributions from the financial industry voted against allowing bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgages.
"(Palin) supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000."
Recent stories featuring MoveOn.org
MoveOn gets its facts wrong on Florida's voter purge:
A fundraising email from MoveOn.org said Florida Gov. Rick Scott "tried to kick 180,000 people off the voter rolls" and "every one" of the state's supervisors of election resisted him. Both statements are wrong.
Liberal group gets its facts wrong with attacks on Gov. Rick Scott:
In a fund-raising email, MoveOn said Scott "tried to kick 180,000 people off the voter rolls" and "every one" of the supervisors of election resisted him. Both claims are wrong.
PolitiFact Georgia goes for broke on the national debt:
Thanks to recent battles over federal spending, the Truth-O-Meter hit a jackpot of claims that need checking.
U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Mark Warner of Virginia barnstormed the Atlanta area Monday to drum up support for reducing the national debt, so PolitiFact Georgia went for broke. We greeted them with rapid-fire fact checks.
The budget hawks were mostly on the money. Warner won a True on Social Security data. Chambliss scored a Mostly True on debt growth figures and a Half True on how tax cuts impact tax revenue.
MoveOn.org and U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Athens shortchanged us on the facts. Both earned False rulings on the budget debate.

A Statesboro man is being held without bond in connection with a theft of property from a home.
Bulloch County sheriff's deputies responded on March 7 to a home on Johnny Brannen Road on a report of stolen items.
Some of the stolen property turned up at a local metal recycler and Claude Wesley Hardy Jr., 28, was identified as the suspect, according to the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office.
Hardy was already wanted on parole and probation violations.
On Friday, BCSO investigators got a tip that Hardy was living at a home in the 1300 block Colfax Rd west. Deputies located Hardy there and took him into custody without incident.
BCSO investigators and Statesboro Police Dept. detectives worked together, which led to theft charges against Hardy in Statesboro as well.
Hardy is charged with one count of felony theft by taking, one count of second-degree burglary, parole violation and probation violation.
He is being held at the Bulloch County jail.

You have such a neat style! O: I also really like the strokes in your digital work!
sooooooooooooo many pictures!!
hahaha some really fun stuff ikuru
I like how all the little details in the pictures suggest stories about the characters
My favourites are the environments: they have a dreamy fantastical feel to them
Hey you've got some really neat stuff in here. The thumbnails you posted further up look really awesome. This last update looks pretty good, keep it up .

I really like your drawing especially the chibis. The best one for me though was the one carrying a baseball bat, looks really bloody and has a lot of killing intent. Keep up the good work.
I like your works, dude! cool stuff
wii game concepts are just great!
take a look at ma SB ang give some crits if you want)
Wow, this is some really great stuff. I really like the little kids and the fantasy worlds, I'm out of words, but thanks for sharing
Wonderful painting and good value control,
hey ikuru thank you for commenting my sketchbook!
THIS is wonderful game art, great style and colors ive enjoyed viewing all these pics! and i think you should continue doing anatomy studies, i think life studies will get you somewhere like the next level!
3D model is looking good. Hope to see more of your game art soon, really love your style
Cool, the AK is awesome - much better then the one with the light flares and stuff
Like the wood details and the specular on the barrel tip. Looks worn in a realistic way. If I have to complain about anything it would be because of the back part, the one closest to the shot.
The indentations on top of the back part looks kind of weird, shallow and have a bit of artifacts on them in the normal-map (?). Maybe you should consider skipping them all together? I didn't see them in any of the ref. pics i could find on google when searching for "ak 47" anyway, but maybe you have been looking at a different model?
Take care!
Also, about the cookie monster. I liked the first one you posted more, because the body was not finished, just roughed out. It gave me the opportunity to fill in the blanks, form looking at the face I could fill in what the skin would look like and so on. It looks more like the concept art I'm used to seeing on game sites and in art books and stuff.
Over and out
Brilliant start of a sketchbook!
I really like your latest b&w portrait from this page.
And the concepts from the other page are just wonderful.
Sorry, not much i can critique really.

Bed Bugs, cockroaches, and faulty appliances. What are your rights when your rented home or apartment has issues and you feel your landlord isn't doing anything to help?
We talked to one woman with quite a story about her Cape Girardeau apartment.
Cindy Frala says she started noticing problems immediately after moving into her Clark Street apartment, including cockroaches and bed bugs everywhere.
She says other tenants noticed the same thing, but were scared to come forward. As a domestic violence survivor Frala says she's not.
Frala met us at the Safe House with a bag of live bed bugs she says she saved from the apartment. She has since moved out with the help of a community organization.
"A couple of them I caught biting me," said Frala.
The bed bugs were still crawling actively in the plastic bag she'd placed inside a medicine bottle to keep them from getting out.
"They're about the size of ticks," said Frala. "I'm not the only one that has them. The people upstairs from me had bed bugs months ago and then another unit had them really bad."
Frala showed us pictures from one of her neighbors with bed bugs bites on her arms. Frala says she wasn't just infested with bed bugs but cockroaches too.
"It's disgusting and embarrassing," said Frala with tears in her eyes. "I would have to have a cup beside the tub and when I'd be taking a bath I'd have to scoop roaches out of the water."
Frala says she took concerns about the pests and a faulty cook stove to her landlord and she says he never took care of the issues.
"He just kept saying he'd get to it but he never did," said Frala.
So Frala filed a complaint with the city. The head of inspection services confirms several violations found in Frala's apartment including insect infestation. In the meantime, Frala moved out. She says most of her belongings had to be thrown out. A survivor of domestic abuse, everything Frala owned came from the Semo Safe House.
"I think it's just sad and disappointing because she's worked so hard and we worked hard to get her everything that she needed," said Becky Holloway, Frala's case worker.
Holloway says the Safe House is working to get Frala new furniture and clothes and she feels her concerns are real.
"More tenants started reaching out and we'd hear them when Cindy would call us," said Holloway. "I was very alarmed that there were disabled women that could not leave and they were sitting there with bed bugs."
Frala says her friends and neighbors deserve better.
"It is very important that I stand up," said Frala. "There are a lot of people that are scared, they are terrified of losing their place and being homeless."
Frala says other tenants are afraid if they speak out the problems will come back on them.
Tim Morgan, director of Inspection Services, tells us a letter went out to the landlord in the mail Thursday. The letter is a listing the violations and what can be done to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, we also tried to get in touch with Cindy Frala's former landlord. We are waiting to hear back.
The city says if an individual tenant files a complaint, they can go in and inspect that unit. From there it would be determined if the problems are indeed violations, and who or what would be responsible for the problem.

Egypt's Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim toured the Taba border area near Eilat on Thursday, pledging to implement a buffer zone.
A suicide attack on a bus of South Korean tourists killed four Christian pilgrims in Taba on Sunday.
Ibrahim said security officers will check all visitors using new weapon and explosive detection equipment and use dogs to secure the border.
Unidentified gunmen killed a policeman and injured three in Egypt's Sharqiya Governorate on Thursday.
Earlier that day, another drive-by shooting wounded two soldiers in Zagazig, the capital of Sharqiya Governorate, and on Wednesday a military officer was seriously injured in Belbeis in central Sharqiya.
The Egyptian army killed a number of suspected jihadists in Sinai overnight Wednesday.
Apache helicopters launched an offensive on terrorist hideouts in north Sinai, killing at least 10 suspected jihadists, Egyptian military sources told the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency.
The sources said they believe they killed leaders of the jihadist group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis and that three smuggling tunnels to Gaza were destroyed.
Egyptian army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi told Egyptians on Thursday to support the army and police in their fight against terrorism.
On Saturday, the Egyptian army destroyed 10 tunnels and seven homes used to hide those tunnels on the border with the Gaza Strip in the Sinai Peninsula, an Egyptian military source told Ma'an.
Also on Saturday, the Egyptian army safely detonated three bombs placed in military vehicles and armored cars in the northern Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid and raided Islamist strongholds in the area, the Egyptian security source told Ma'an.
The Egyptian army and police in Sinai have been targeted by Islamist rebels since the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi last year.

The romance of the South Sea Islands meets the strength of Chinese Black Tea in this tropical blend. Our classic China Black Tea is perfectly combined with the seductively sweet-tart fragrance of passion fruit, the pungent flavor of guava fruit and studded with bright yellow petals of marigold and malva for an exotic splash. Great as a brewed tea and as tea latte.

Delicious! Try it iced!
By spaceradish
from lancaster, ca
About Me Occasional Tea Drinker
I order the tropical passion iced tea all the time when I order in at CBTL, so I wanted to try it hot as well. To me, it tastes the same, maybe a little light on flavor, but if I double up on the bags or let it seep longer it's completely delicious (I like my tea flavor a bit strong). Would buy again!
Smells so Good!
By marvymom
from Granada Hills, CA
About Me Health Conscious, Occasional Tea Drinker
This tea smells so good, but the flavor just doesn't come through. I served it to several of my friends and they agreed, great aroma and disappointing flavor. I'm sorry that I purchased two cans. I have since returned to another company's Passion Iced Tea.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The tiny land-locked nation of Nepal is the first to put its hand up and publicly express a serious interest in biding for the next Asia Pacific Out Games.
With the 2nd Games just concluded in Wellington, gay Nepalese MP Sunil Pant has confirmed to GayNZ.com that he is determined his country will put in a serious bid for the next sporting, human rights and cultural festival. "We have the facilities and we have the will," he says.
Kathmandu, the capital with a population of just on one million, is likely to be the suggested host city. Nepal has extremely glbt-friendly human rights and anti-discrimination laws, in contrast of most of its south Asian neighbours.
A small contingent from Nepal attended the 2nd Games in Wellington, including Pant and two gay rights activists who made a strong and positive impression on their fellow delegates.

"The Guest," the latest effort from horror helmer Adam Wingard; "Killers," a Web-based serial-killer thriller from Indonesia's Mo Brothers; and "What We Do in the Shadows," a mock-doc collaboration between New Zealand-based directors Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement (of Flight of the Conchords) are among the eight oddball titles set to make their world premieres in Park City at Midnight at the 30th annual Sundance Film Festival.
Having noted that the dramatic competition lineups (unveiled Wednesday) contained a number of films with comedic and horror-thriller elements, festival director John Cooper pointed out that the distinctions between competitive and non-competitive titles were blurring more than ever.
"We considered all the Midnight titles for competition at one point," he said. "It's very fluid."
Other pics in the Midnight mix include "The Babadook," an Australian horror film directed by Jennifer Kent; "Cooties," Jonathan Millott and Cary Murnion's thriller about a viral outbreak at an elementary school, starring Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill; "Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead," Tommy Wirkola's sequel to 2009′s Nazi-zombie pic "Dead Snow"; "The Signal," a Laurence Fishburne starrer from helmer William Eubank; and "Under the Electric Sky (EDC 2013)," a 3D documentary about Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas.
PHOTOS: 2014 Sundance Film Festival Lineup: Park City at Midnight
The festival, which runs Jan. 16-26 in Park City, Utah, also announced films selected for New Frontier, Spotlight and, for the first time, Sundance Kids, a section devoted to children's programming. The two tot-friendly titles slated there are "Ernest and Celestine," a French-language toon from directors Benjamin Renner, Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar, and "Zip and Zap and the Marble Gang," a Spanish live-action kidpic from director Oskar Santos.
Artist Doug Aitken's "The Source (Evolving)," a series of filmed conversations about creativity in the 21st century, will have its U.S. premiere as the centerpiece of the festival's New Frontier section devoted to independent/experimental art. The expanded sidebar will feature 13 installations housed in a new 5,000-square-foot location at the Gateway in Park City, adjacent to Main Street, as well as five films.
The festival's Spotlight slate, a best-of-fests compilation of "cinema we love," is dominated by selections from Cannes ("Blue Ruin," "The Lunchbox," "Only Lovers Left Alive," "Stranger by the Lake") and Toronto ("The Double," "Ida," "R100"). Steven Knight's "Locke," starring Tom Hardy, will make its North American debut in Park City after having premiered at Venice earlier this year.

A new festival is coming to Bozeman this weekend, based off the Montana Pride Festival.
As the Montana Pride Festival was held in Butte for the first time this year, members of the pride community in Bozeman are working to hold a similar event in the Gallatin Valley.
Tate Chamberlin helped organize the pride festival while it was in Bozeman the last two years. He said as the festival moves on to other Montana towns, he wants the Bozeman community to hold a pride event of their own every year.
"We feel it is a really a great cultural hub to carry a festival similar to this," said Chamberlin.
Chamberlin said this comes at a time when L.G.T.B. rights are taking center stage."Our goal with interchange is to evolve," said Chamberlin. "We think the L.G.T.B. movement is the hot topic right now. It's at the supreme court this week with DOMA and Proposition Eight."
The United States Supreme Court is expected to make its decision on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition Eight Wednesday.Chamberlin said Interchange is more than just for the L.G.T.B. community.
"We would like to evolve," said Chamberlin. "We've got racism and human trafficking panels, we've got women's issues and we really want to revolve it after this."
Chamberlin said the event was in the works for two years, and this year is just an experiment.
"We call this the experiential remix," said Chamberlin. "We're trying to captivate people emotionally, as activists, as entertainment and festival goers and people that want to be educated."

The upcoming UFC 144 event will feature the two most resilient lightweights in recent memory at the very top of the card as Frankie Edgar defends his title against Ben Henderson. Neither man has cruised through their careers with ease and both have had to claw back victory from the jaws of defeat several times. Iron wills, nearly limitless energy and the calm retention of technical skills under pressure have allowed Edgar and Henderson to survive and thrive in the shark tank that is the lightweight division. This two-part Judo Chop takes a look at what exactly the little things are that Bendo does to work his near-miraculous escapes and to stave off defeat until he can find and exploit a route to victory.
In his last bout, Edgar capped off the finest trilogy of fights in MMA with his dramatic comeback from near defeat and subsequent knockout of Gray Maynard at UFC 136. Edgar has retained his UFC title with quiet tenacity and is now one of the most respected people in the sport for his heart and desire to win. Benson Henderson, the man who will stand across from Edgar in Saitama Super Arena, took a hard lesson from his last defeat. The loss of his WEC title to Anthony Pettis at the end of the bittersweet, but great WEC 53 card ended with Benson reeling from the now-legendary Showtime Kick. After that defeat and the subsequent absorption of the WEC by the UFC, Benson roared like the lion his frizzy mane emulates throughout thrilling matches with Mark Bocek, Jim Miller and Clay Guida to claim this title shot. All four fighters have had Bendo in trouble at some point and every single time, he has escaped.
This first part takes an in-depth look at the WEC 53 fight against Anthony Pettis and the UFC 129 bout with Mark Bocek. Hit the jump for the fight breakdowns combined with the GIF goodies from Grappo.
The Showtime Kick was for a time the most vivid image in recent mixed martial arts history. The visual poetry of the kick was so strong that it overshadowed the actual fight itself, a back and forth battle between two closely matched competitors. Both Pettis and Henderson had the other in trouble in all phases of the game and in particular, the rear mount position figured heavily in the action.
At approximately the 3:30 mark of the third round, Pettis managed to work out of an open guard position and slide around to the rear mount position with a body triangle modification. In IBJJF competitions, he would achieve no points for this particular back take, but in real grappling and in MMA, such a position is extremely powerful. Finish opportunities open up and the body triangle can slowly constrict the energy and fight out of an opponent.
Pettis was on Henderson's back for over three minutes, but achieved no finish despite working constantly to generate an opportunity for the rear naked choke (RNC) or punching Henderson in the face. The lack of a finish is due to Benson's calm controlling of one hand at almost all times. In this gif, you can see Benson get a two on one grip on Anthony's right arm and stretch it out. In MMA, if one hand is controlled, the other hand can generally be allowed to wrap around the neck without fear of a choke. In submission grappling, it is possible for grappling wizards like Marcelo Garcia to do a one handed RNC on high level opponents (as demonstrated on Ryan Hall in a practice session), but that takes a certain confluence of skill, position and mastery of technique.
At that point in time, Pettis does not have such a confluence, so Henderson need only disrupt the choke attempts by controlling one hand. The full fight (very much worth watching) shows that Pettis constantly attacked by alternating which arm was going for the choke and which would complete the RNC, only to be frustrated by Henderson's grips. The two on one is usually a powerful grip in grappling as very few people outside of Mark Coleman or other immensely strong individuals will be able to power a single arm through the grip of two. In an earlier interview, Dave Camarillo mentioned that he believes the kimura grip (a variant of the two on one grip) is the strongest grip possible in grappling and utilizes it heavily within his own grappling and teaching.
Note that Benson also alleviates the discomfort of the body triangle and carrying Anthony's weight to some degree by struggling upright and leaning against the cage. Pettis has to fight gravity in a small way himself and cannot take the easier route of staying on top of a turtled up opponent and driving his hips forwards to create immense pressure and discomfort. Those who remember the DaMarques Johnson and Mike Guymon fight from UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 can remember the power of that particular body triangle. Benson survived three minutes of this and looked unusually placid while doing so - as if this threatening back take was merely something to tolerated and worked through until he could get free and fire off more clinch knees.
Jumping forwards to the next time Henderson was in significant trouble leads us to right after the Showtime Kick. Rather than dwelling upon the already much heralded burst of violent creativity, we should focus on how a very dazed and tired Bendo weathered a full minute of Pettis trying to finish the fight. Yes, there was a minute of the fight after the kick and smart tactics combined with an unfortunately timed lack of improvisation by Pettis is what allowed Henderson to survive to the decision.
Immediately after the kick, Benson knew he had to get up off his back and do something or risk taking big punches from Anthony. He glommed onto the legs of Pettis and held his head tight to the legs in an instinctual clinch that played into the rule proscribing blows to the back of the head. Pettis had to pick and choose the spots to launch his strikes and the singleminded determination of Henderson to grab a leg and stay on it makes it difficult for Pettis to do anything other than end up in a crucifix position - as the GIF shows.
However, right after the kick and scramble, Pettis stalls out a bit. Here, Pettis displays positional dominance in a way that often leads to the end of fights. The legs are controlling one arm and the head looks ripe to rain down damaging blows upon. This is an MMA fight, bound by rules and regulations and thus Pettis cannot punch away at the back of the head a la Hayato Sakurai against Nick Diaz. Fortunately for Henderson, Pettis never makes the logical leap to the Gary Goodridge style crucifix hellbows that left Paul Herrera a crumpled heap on the floor of the UFC 8 cage. With this oddly hesitant pattern of strikes, Ben is never fully overwhelmed and can prevent the referee from stepping in. Eventually, time ran out on the round and on the last, most brilliant card of WEC's existence. Benson would stand ready to hear the judges' decision and watch Anthony Pettis's hand be raised in victory.
After the absorption of the WEC into the UFC, Henderson was largely viewed as a mid-level entrant to the division and Pettis waited for a potential title shot. Four months after the WEC 53 battle, Henderson fought Mark Bocek as part of the general "American vs. Canadian" vibe of the UFC 129 card. Henderson won a unanimous decision, but there were moments of real trouble for him due to Bocek's grappling prowess. Three such moments will be looked at this Judo Chop:
For the first, Henderson has had a takedown stuffed and is on his hands and knees below Bocek, who has established head control. After some time securing the position, Bocek shifts to an anaconda grip. The angle for the cameras unfortunately obscures the placement of Bocek's hands and the beginnings of the choke, but there have been multiple Judo Chops done on the submission before. [The first is Judo Chop: Breaking Down the Groundwork of Maia/Munoz at UFC 131 and the second is Judo Chop: Carlo Prater Uses a Novel Finish to the Anaconda Choke.]
Bocek is squeezing Henderson's left carotid with the placement of his right biceps and wants to force Henderson's right arm next to his head in such a way that the right carotid will also be squeezed. By making a series of motions somewhat similar to a RNC, Bocek has his right hand in the crook of his left arm and wants to roll to his left to off-balance Henderson and create more pressure on the carotids and thereby gain the submission.
However, the cage and Henderson's positioning block Bocek from really turning over to get the proper anaconda finish that the grappling gods want. For a better idea of what a real anaconda choke looks like, check out the Judo Chops mentioned above or watch the old PRIDE fights of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira - better known as "Big Nog" or "The Really Old Looking Brazilian Who Made The Anaconda Choke Famous". The nicknames sounds better in Portuguese, trust me.
Mark bails on the anaconda and gets back to his feet, while retaining the head control that keeps Ben from getting a counter-takedown or punching Mark in the face some more. While they are along the fence, Bocek repositions his hands and arms in such a way that makes for a great guillotine - if he can get in position. The angles are not quite right for a guillotine in the style of the one Jake Shields pulled on Robbie Lawler back at Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields, so Mark moves a bit to his right to clear his legs from Ben's control and Ben sinks to his knees as he loses the grip on the legs.
When the legs are clear and Ben is fully on his elbows and knees, Bocek goes for a classic variation of the guillotine. The far side leg is swiftly thrown behind the opponent's back to prevent a move into side control, which would allow the alleviation of the pressure on the carotids and thus safety from the choke. The opponent's head is tucked into the latissimus dorsi muscles, which allow for a better, tighter squeeze and the left arm comes up to link and possibly throw the elbow over the opponent's right shoulder. Some Brazilian jiu jitsu people call this the Marcelo-tine, but a large number of grapplers from any discpline can get finishes with this move if they can hit it right. This is the second submission that Ben had to defend.
Ben defended by bringing his right hand up to give some modicum of space within the choke and by simultaneously rolling - which may not always work against high level grapplers. The roll and the "not-quite-finished" status of the choke allowed Bendo to knock the left hand free and escape yet again. This might be the single closest time that Ben Henderson has come to being finished in the cage in the last several years and he reacts by storming Bocek with a flurry of punches.
In the third round, Bocek ends up in an open guard position as Henderson has dominated nearly the entirety of the round by dealing out vicious punches and knees. Bocek places his left foot on a hip and leaves his right leg free (in a cautiously optimistic way). Ben walks in as if completely unconcerned about anything other than controlling the feet to prevent an upkick. Bocek uses that opportunity to grip the left leg of Henderson at the ankle and swims his right leg under and around the knee. This is a move that is banned in IBJJF competitions due to the risk of the submission Bocek initially sets up - the heel hook.
[Previous Judo Chops featuring the heel hook: Rousimar Palhares and Leglocks, Shogun Rua's Fightsaving Leglock on Dan Henderson, Ed Herman Uses 50/50 Guard to Heel Hook Kyle Noke.]
Ben probably realizes as soon as his leg is gripped that he has left the door wide open for a heel hook. The best way to get out of a leglock is to keep base carefully, stay calm, work the escapes techniques and to avoid panicking and ripping out the wrong way. Mark decides to control the hands of his opponent instead of going straight for the heel hook, which is a sort of judgement call in the damage versus submission opportunity debate. Henderson turns his right leg outwards to try and keep balance as if he were bullriding, but Bocek is a great grappler and uses his free left leg to kick out Henderson's base. As Ben falls over, Mark follows him and locks hands around the waist.
Some of you may already know what submission Bocek has the opportunity for and have seen it broken down in an earlier Judo Chop covering how Charles Oliveira defeated Eric Wisely with the calf slicer. In contrast to Wisely, Bendo is extremely flexible, quite strong for his weight class and does not make the mistake of trying to launch vertically upwards to escape. Bocek looks like he wants the submission, but realizes that the slicer is probably not going to work as desired. Mark bails on it to go for an eventually unsuccessful back take. But for Benson's calm grappling defense and diligence in stretching, we could have seen the first UFC calf slicer in April of last year...
That is all for Part 1 and stay tuned to Bloody Elbow for the next installment. Part 2 will take a look at the Jim Miller and Clay Guida battles Ben Henderson went through to reach his title shot complete with analysis and more pretty visuals.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: Gun Control, Guns, Trayvon Martin, Lobbying, Politics News
The American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, is a group that helps major industry players write their own legislation that Republicans then pass in state legislatures across the country. Traditionally, ALEC would draw up and promote bills limiting labor organizing rights and weakening workplace safety regulations and environmental protections, because those things anger the Market Gods. Fewer of those things means more money for ALEC's funders! Recently, though, ALEC also began dabbling in things that wouldn't make anyone any money but that happened to be right-wing political priorities.
ALEC is now shutting down its "Public Safety and Elections" task force. ALEC's Public Safety and Elections task force's goals were twofold: to improve "public safety" by making it easier for citizens to carry guns everywhere they go and to shoot certain people without fear of arrest or prosecution, and to improve elections by making it harder for politically undesirable types to exercise their right to vote. (Why were gun rights and voter disenfranchisement the purview of one task force? Those two issues really have very little in common besides being of supreme importance to paranoid white people.)
What happened is, people suddenly noticed that self-defense laws had recently become much more "robust" (slash-"insane") in lots of states after this guy in Florida named George Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager named Trayvon Martin and then somehow was not arrested. These new self-defense laws were widely blamed for the police reaction, or non-reaction, and while the NRA had predictably lobbied for them in the various states where they passed, it turned out that ALEC had been instrumental in drafting these laws and others like them that had nothing to do with being "pro-business" but everything to do with quietly remaking the nation into a right-wing paradise.
So major corporations began abandoning ALEC, because they hadn't signed on for the full right-wing culture war. While Coca-Cola has a vested interest in, say, stopping public health initiatives, there's no compelling profit-based reason for it to support the dismantling of gun control legislation. People do not get thirstier when they are carrying concealed firearms, as far as I know. Kraft does not, as a company, have any interest in making it more difficult for poor people to vote.
So! ALEC is giving up on the items of its agenda not directly related to helping giant corporations make as much money as possible without fear of lawsuits or union agitation. Because those are less "hot-button" issues.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate a one-car fatal accident on Dennison-Chattaroy Road on Friday night.
Deputy Dan Dutton had arrived on scene at around 11 p.m., prior to traffic investigators, and saw an adult male driver inside the vehicle. Medics arrived with Dutton and pronounced the driver deceased at the scene.
Evidence showed the vehicle was traveling westbound on Dennison-Chattaroy Road. The vehicle crossed eastbound lanes of traffic, left the roadway and struck a tree head-on.
Traffic investigator, Corporal Jeff Welton, said the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and that alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the collision.
The name of the victim will be released pending notification of next of kin.
