Exclusive: U.S. considering options if oil export ban challenged – sources
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Obama administration officials are concerned about the legality of a ban on oil exports and have begun discussing how to deal with potential challenges from nations that want to buy U.S. crude, two sources said.
Officials in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the National Security Council have each held internal talks about potential free-trade challenges from South Korea and NATO allies, two sources familiar with the matter said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will give the public until December to comment on its sweeping proposal to curb carbon pollution from the country's power plants after some industry groups and state officials pressed for more time.
Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for the EPA's office of air and radiation, told reporters on Tuesday that the agency would give stakeholders an extra 45 days, for a total of six months, to give input on its plan to cut emissions from existing power plants, many of which are powered by coal.

I don't see you with a camera. Perhaps if you know better you should pick one up and start something yourself.
I like what Mike's doing. I don't care about swearing or how he's "bias" or "twists things around." He has his opinions and passes them on. Anyone else can learn anything they want by looking over the web.
Certainly his woodsball explanations were a little off... but look at the forum we're on, a scenario/woodsball forum.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Especially if it's Smart Parts. Besides that, this was also during a fairly early part of TechPB.
I don't have MAJOR problems. I have minor annoyances that YOU consider major problems.

Umm...I HAVE done it on a camera, and still do when I have the subject matter and equipment on hand (I can't afford every marker on the planet, much to my viewers' chagrin, no doubt). And I STILL dislike him quite a lot.
Sure, he's done a lot to get some information out. But it's biased, emotional and very often poorly researched information. His swearing is unbelievably over the top and unnecessary. The excuse of "it happens" is not a proper response, and it just shows the degeneration of some parts of society.
The main thing that gets under my skin is the "I am a god" complex he has. He has stated that NOBODY is better than he is at ANYTHING paintball. I'm sorry, but such arrogance has no place in 95% of the sport, in terms of player-base.

Irony much?
I haven't seen a lot of his videos, but the ones I have seen all seem to be great. AND he did that charity thing. Bias is a natural thing, you all obviously have some too, that's what an opinion is, and it's what you're showing answering the question posed in this thread.
I wouldn't mind seeing some of his "poorly researched subjects," and having it spelled out for me, because a lot of times I see people calling things absolutely false that they don't want to admit is the truth, and it seems to be ESPECIALLY prominent in paintball for some reason. Like, people will outright deny that you can't "freeze paintballs," after he did his bit. Someone posted a link here to that PBN thread about freezing balls, and that thing started like two months or more after he made his video. I still see people arguing about that HERE, every once in a while. Or how X barrel can shoot further than Y barrel, even these days. Remember the Tippmann Straightline thread?
As for the swearing, I agree it may be a BIT excessive, but come on guys, we're adults, part of being an adult is not getting hung up on petty crap.

You can also tell he's slightly uneducated in certain parts of the sport. Not saying I know everything, but I am saying that he is not a very good person to be doing paintball shows.

He has alot of flawed info...he spins things HORRIBLY one way or the other he curses a ridiculous amount he thinks that just because he has been around for longer than 2 years he is the paintball god. I can put a camera in front of me yell really loud why a company is bad and how I hate the world but I feel that ppl should know this information. I have learned from a few of his videos I have seen many of them but the vast majority of what I see is flawed logic or information or he takes a fact and spins it or only represents one side of the argument to just push his own agenda. To my knowledge he hasn't played on any pro teams idk if he is a certified tech for any companies. The man got alot of followers with his crude language and passionate videos but he is not respected by a majority of the tourney or corporate pb community.

he played semi pro
Meh my opinion if baised just like everyone else so does it make a difference in the thread not really , but most of the stuff he says is somewhat true and baised just like almost everyone else .

I myself don't have a problem with the swearing at all since I talk like a sailor myself, but I could easily see how some people could, but really that's about the only thing I could see a few people having a problem with his videos, other than, DOO DOOs solid.
Posted 30 November 2008 - 11:16 PM
He said in his vids he has the show because he used to have older players who would help him out in paintball and he wants everyone to have that. Hence him doing reviews, giving tips, showing how to fix guns, etc
He doesn't even rant that much.
I found 13 videos where he rants. That's being generous, There were some where they couldn't be considered rants, although he does go on a small rants in about 4 or 5 of them, the majority of the video is fine, but I put them in anyways
So thats 13 out of 265.
I would say he rants very little.

CW5 Terry L. Brewer
1964 - 2013
Friday, October 25, 2013
My heart truly breaks for his family and his parents. I knew him when he was a young boy living outside of Washington DC. Because his family had been such a comfort to me in those days, I often stopped and pictured in my mind what would happen especially for that straight, dutiful young man of twelve, so sweet. I knew only great things would happen for him. My love and deepest sympathy go out to his parents, Estell and Diane. Over the passing years, I would always keep track, as best I could, of the members of that memorable family. When I reached out this time, I discovered that this painful event had taken place and one part of my own heart broke because I could not meet the man the boy became once again. May God bless you all and have you know that Terry is with you always.

Terry's passing reminds me just how significant he was in the lives of great American aviation pilots, crews, teams, companies, battalions and brigades, whose calm professionalism trained and mentored junior enlisted and warrants to field grade commanding officers in just about any condition imaginable. A truly great Amercian patriot that touched so many lives. All who served with hm are better for it. His unexpected loss hurts so many because his impact was so broad and lasting. Rest in peace, sir.

In times like these, we all search for a comfort that seems to elude us, or to find the right words to speak which, quite simply, do not exist. But we understand that we are here for each other, and it is in that strength, hope and togetherness that we find a faith and trust in God, believing that we will all find our way through this loss, one day at a time. Terry will be fondly remembered and sadly missed, as both a professional mentor and a personal friend.

I served in South Korea with Terry in 1993 in the Red Barons and later in the 1st Cavalry Division. Terry was an exceptional Army Aviator and trainer whose professionalism, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail earned him a stellar reputation. Terry instilled these virtues in those around him and they will live on in the many aircrews he has trained over the years. Today the world has lost a great man and the Army has lost a great Aviator. He will be deeply missed.

With sincere condolences to the Brewer family during this difficult time. I know how painful losing a family member can be with the recent loss of my mother however my mom had been sick for a long time and it was expected. Losing Terry a proud soldier, husband, father and grand father in the prime of his life is very heart breaking. I never really got to know your father Cyle, I think we met twice the first time when you bought your motorcycle from me and the second was your graduation from the police academy. I saw him as being super friendly and personable. I know the lord called him home much to soon but feel comfort knowing you gave him so so much to be proud of.

Perry said, "I very clearly, I very publicly, said as long as that individual was running that agency, I had lost confidence in her, the public had lost confidence in her," he added "I stood up for the rule of law in the state of Texas, and if I had to do it again I would make exactly the same decision."
"The rule of law in particularly I take seriously, but let me just share with you, David Axelrod said this was a very sketchy indictment," he continued. "Professor Alan Dershowitz, who is not exactly my cheerleader said it was outrageous. So I think across the board, you're seeing people weigh in and reflecting that this is way outside of the norm. This is not the way that we settle differences. political differences, in this country. You don't do it with indictments. we settle our political differences at the ballot box. And I think across the board, when you have David Axelrod and Harvard Law Professor Dershowitz saying what they said, it's reflective of what we're looking at."

Nagy has been with the school as an assistant football coach for several years. Nagy says it was an easy decision to apply for the job and even easier to accept it when it was offered. He feels his experience at the school already will be a big factor in keeping the program at a high level. "You know I've worked with all these coaches since I've been here in 2001. I think the administration and coach Jennings they've always done a great job in bringing in quality coaches and quality teachers. And I'm gonna continue to do that as Athletic Director, with the help of Miss Harrison. I just want to do the things that I can do to keep the program successful."
Nagy says he will continue on as a defensive coach on Perry Brown's staff. Danny praised his predecessor Tim Jennings, whom Nagy calls a great mentor and somebody he will continue to lean on in the future. Jennings is retiring at the end of this school year after 12 years at A.D. and some 25 years at Mosley.
Nagy was a letter winner in football and baseball at Bay before graduating in 1988.

Help, cast iron pan really confusing me
Hi all. I need some help with my cast iron pan. I've had this particular pan about 10 months now, its a Lodge pre-seasoned one that I bought new, and I love it.
About 4 months in, it had developed a nice slick coating, then all of a sudden after frying up some meat, the all the "shine" went out of the seasoning and it looked completely dull and "dead", and when I rubbed it with a tissue, the whole surface of the paper was covered in black specks (and I mean absolutely covered in them, not just a few, nor a black oily residue), and the seasoning felt rough to the hand. I emailed lodge and they didn't really help much, just told me to restart from scratch (by the time I got their reply I'd already taken steel wool to the pan and restarted the seasoning process).
Everything was good up until tonight. Pan fried some chicken tenderloins in a bit of oil, pan never went above 500F (I don't know the exact temperature, I just know for certain that it didn't go above 500F, and I know that the last time it happened it didn't go above 500F either). There was a brown crust on the bottom of the pan (caramelized chicken juice), so I let it cool a little bit (20 mins), then put very hot water in it, and scrubbed with a nylon brush and put it on the burner on low to dry.
Then I noticed the same dullness to the seasoning, and sure enough, wiping with a towel resulted in many black specks of seasoning coming off.
I've never cooked anything acidic in this pan, I treat it quite well for a cast iron pan, what on earth is going on?
The previous times I'd seasoned it using the oven method, this time I've decided to go with what I use on my carbon steel pans and just heat the pan up very hot on the hob, add lard, wipe out, repeat.
I have other cast iron pieces too, and none of them have exhibited this problem, so I'm really at a loss here. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, or what I can do to prevent it? Has anyone experienced this before?
I didn't think of taking any photos at the time unfortunately.
I think the first mistake most people make is that the first sign that "something is wrong" they immediately strip the seasoning and start over.
Don't start over.
Just continue cooking in the darn thing and the seasoning will take care of itself.
Cast iron isn't finicky...but the people who use it certainly can be.
re: Sirrith
I would be hesitant also.
I never season a pan...I just cook in it. The pan seasons itself.
re: JayL
<I think the first mistake most people make is that the first sign that "something is wrong" they immediately strip the seasoning and start over.>
It depends on the "mistake". I agree with you that the original poster probably overrated in this case. However, there are times when re-seasoning is needed.
This is especially the case for preseasoning layer from the factory. The preasoning can be faulty. Building additional layers on top of a faulty layer can be very frustrating. e.g.: peeling and chipping layers. I can only say that, in my experience, starting from scratch has saved me a lot of time.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I fully understand, and this is why I would always strip a pre-seasoned pan and do it myself.
I have a pre-seasoned Staub pan that had the same problem. I pretty much, after hot water cleaning it with a stiff brush, added ghee on the pan, heating it until it smoked, then let it cool. After wiping off the residue and using it for regular cooking, everything is right again.
I'm also using a different cleaning method as well. Try Chain Mail (I bought mine on Amazon), it really is an amazing cast iron cleaning solution. I usually lay it on the pan with a scrub brush on top to guide it. Frigging works great.
re: David11238
Thanks, I did try adding more seasoning over the top of it the first time, but that didn't work, it just ended up flaking off again just as badly, so I didn't bother this time.
I did consider the chain mail, I might pick it up at some point. I don't know if its got anything to do with cleaning though. Can't hurt to try I suppose!
re: Sirrith
< it just ended up flaking off again just as badly>
Flaking is bad. I thought you only have a "dull" looking problem -- which I don't consider to be a problem at all.
re: David11238
Had never heard of a chain mail scrubber before I read your post last year. It was inexpensive enough, so I decided to buy one. I cook almost exclusively in cast iron or carbon steel and that scrubber has been a revelation. I just made a dry-fry dish that left a lot of sticky bits in my wok. I poured in the rice rinsing water, waited 5 minutes, and scrubbed it lightly with the chain mail scrubber. Completely clean and grease free in almost an instant. One of the best new cooking toys I've bought in the past year. Coming back, finally, to thank you, David.
re: JoanN
Chain mail scrubbers are also excellent on glass, stainless steel, glazed stoneware, any surface that can stand aggressive scrubbing. It'll leave surface scratches in stainless, if that's something you care about. I've also found that with a little dish soap, it makes quick work of counters, with no need to ever scrub stubborn spots.
The biggest thing it did for me was free me from nasty scrubbers. I was going through at least one a week, because I hated the way they'd trap food. Yuck! Between chain mail and a nylon brush, life is much less gunky.
re: DuffyH
Good to know. Thanks. Yes, love how easily it cleans up.
<About 4 months in, it had developed a nice slick coating, then all of a sudden after frying up some meat, the all the "shine" went out of the seasoning and it looked completely dull and "dead", >
I absolutely won't worry about this. The slick and shiny layer is not better than the dull looking layer. Do not be fooled by appearance. Let the performance/function speaks for itself.
All I can say is that from my experience the dull looking seasoning (resulted from high temperature cooking or high temperature seasoning) is more stable than the shiny looking seasoning (result of lower temperature seasoning).
re: Chemicalkinetics
I don't normally worry about dull seasoning, but you missed out the part about the flaking! :P
re: Sirrith
:) How bad is the flaking? If you have actual pieces flaking, then you will likely have to reseason the cookware. Here is an extreme case of flaking.
On the other hand, it sounds like you are saying that it is "many black specks of seasoning coming off." which may simply suggests a very small problem. In that case, I would just scrub the cookware with "salt and oil" on a piece of papertowel. I won't re-season the cookware.
re: Chemicalkinetics
They were small pieces, but they were actual pieces of the seasoning flaking off, some parts of the bare cast iron were beginning to show through. I did try the oil and salt method, just no matter how much I scrubbed, the pieces kept coming off until I'd worn down large patches of the seasoning to bare cast iron :(
Either way, I've already restarted the seasoning now. Do you have any suggestions as to why that may have happened and how I can prevent it happening again in the future? Could it be that the flax-seed oil oven method is just not very durable? This time I just heated the pan up to 600F and rubbed several layers of lard on it. the seasoning looks much nicer than when I tried flax.
re: Sirrith
<Either way, I've already restarted the seasoning now. Do you have any suggestions as to why that may have happened and how I can prevent it happening again in the future?>
I was going to say that you may able to do what cowboyardee suggested. Either use the "salt + oil" or the "green pad" method to scrub the excessive seasoning off -- without a full blown reseasoning. By full blown reseasoning, I mean stripping the original seasoning off, and then rebuild it.
<Could it be that the flax-seed oil oven method is just not very durable? This time I just heated the pan up to 600F and rubbed several layers of lard on it. the seasoning looks much nicer than when I tried flax.>
First, if it is really minor black powder coming off, then don't worry about it. It is normal.
If it is more serious, like you said, then you can scrub most of the excessive seasoning off as mentioned early. I believe most of the time, this can be the results of two reasons. First, the seasoning was too "babied" and too thick of a layer was build. Second, the foundation layer, the very original layer was unstable Any layer built upon a weak foundation will flake off eventually.
Assuming it is the former for now, I would recommend you to season your cast iron cookware no more than two layers. One of the most common mistakes is over-seasoning the cast iron cookware.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Wouldn't the seasoning just build up as I use it more though? I already use metal utensils to try and smooth out the interior of the pan and prevent any build-up.
Regardless, thanks for your suggestions and advice! :)
re: Sirrith
The seasoning build up over time, but also wear over time. This building-wearing process help create a more stable seasoning layer. It is as if wherever unstable seasoning will be eliminated over time during cooking. Kind of like the "natural selection" theory.
The problem of artificial seasoning 15+ layers is that you may end up building some weak seasoning during this speed-up process.
OH yes, you are correct. Keep using metal utensils. They are good.
re: Sirrith
I've found flax seed to be somewhat prone to flaking, especially when many layers are applied. Its difficult for me to add links when typing from my phone, but if you search for 'seasoning cast iron in may 2011' you'll find a semi bloated thread detailing my efforts. The more I looked into it, the more people I found complaining of flaking after seasoning with flax, many of whom did not use many layers as I did. It may be the very hardness of the polymer formed by flax oil also makes it a bit more brittle. Hard to say.
I can say that after more dicking around with seasoning than is really reasonable or respectable, i have come to agree with chem's explanation: the wearing away of weak seasoning via cooking and possibly even the addition of small amounts of other carbonized substances (besides fats) seems to be crucial to the process of building seasoning that is both stable and fully nonstick.
But just to be safe, I would avoid using flax seed oil: it may be more flake prone than alternatives, and at any rate it doesn't seem to help in the long run.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks chem.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks cowboyardee and Ck, that makes for a nice read.
I think I'm happy with the re-seasoned pan, just tried frying an egg in it (something I normally never do on newly seasoned CI), and it didn't stick at all :)
Fingers crossed it won't do the flaking thing again.
re: Sirrith
A little flaking is acceptable. It really depends what you use your cast iron cookware for. If all you do is to fry eggs and make omelette, then it may never flake. However, if you use it for high temperature cooking like blacken steak or use it for liquid cooking like tomato soup, then it is not unusually to have a little wear. Don't worry about it. It will wear and build its seasoning over time.
re: Chemicalkinetics
flaking happens.
don't panic.
short of cracking, it's always possible to re-start with a cast iron pan.
that's part of what i love about them: they are dynamic to cook with!
re: rmarisco
Not panicking, getting annoyed at it because it is a hassle to restart!
Depends on the degree of the flaking.
Big flakes that leave exposed cast iron (not dark, thin seasoning) showing from underneath probably means the pan needs to be stripped, reseasoned, and all that mess. And I think this would usually result from a fault in the base layer of seasoning - if the original seasoning was applied too thickly, for example.
Very small flecks of dark stuff flaking off are most likely something that has cooked onto the pan on top of the seasoning. In that case, I would probably wash the pan with water, soap if necessary, and even a green scouring pad if necessary, though I wouldn't go all the way to steel wool. The surface underneath might be a bit less non-stick than the pan had been before the problem started, but it should recover without too much trouble. Heat up just a bit of oil in the pan until it starts barely smoking. Then cook in your pan normally for a while, avoiding anything that is especially prone to sticking or coating the pan for a few meals. Should be back up to speed without too much trouble or too much time lost.
re: cowboyardee
re: onrushpam
I whole-heartedly agree with the "She just cooked in it" part.
I say that all the time myself.
I'll be honest...in my whole life I never heard my grandmother, mother, or anyone else ever talk about seasoning a cast iron pan (except people on the internet). Nor did I ever hear anyone speak of losing their seasoning and having to fix it. They just cooked in it and let happen what was going to happen.
re: cowboyardee
They were small flakes, but they did leave exposed cast iron. I think maybe I'll try washing the pan more thoroughly from now, probably using detergent regularly (mild), as you could be right about the stuff cooking on. But at the same time I don't understand why it would be perfectly fine before one single dish, then ruined afterwards!
re: Sirrith
You can strip only cooing surface using paper towel saturated with oven cleaner, covered then with a plastic wrap.
<scrubbed with a nylon brush>
I so understand your confusion with cast iron. Here is what I have learned the hard way......
First, I would not scrub any cast iron pan ever. I would just wipe it down and let it cool. To clean I would heat the pan up and wipe it down some more, add some oil to coat the pan and put it away or re-season it by heating the pan up with the new oil.
Second, never ever put a hot pan (any pan) into cold water since it can / will warp pan.
Good luck. These pans are tricky but for health reasons and taste these pans can't be beat. My grandmother used them eons ago and she was very healthy......
re: Chefwant2B
I just don't think cast iron is "tricky" at all. There's a reason why they've been used for 100s of years, in less-than-ideal conditions.
I have a couple of ancient (50+ years old) cast iron pans, a couple of the new, pre-seasoned ones, and a hand-hammered iron wok I bought in Hong Kong. Every now and then, I screw up the seasoning on one of them by cooking something too acidic, burning something or I have a brain fart during kitchen cleanup. A couple of times, I've seen bare metal through spots in the seasoning. I've had all these pans for 15+ years.
On the cast iron skillets, my "cure" is always to just clean well, then cook up a pound of bacon in it. I've found animal fat to be WAY better than any sort of oil for restoring the seasoning.
It's tough to cook bacon in my wok, though I did it once, when I really screwed it up. Usually, I just try to cook something with a lot of fat in it the next time around, but I really don't worry about it. I just clean it and keep cooking in it. The seasoning comes back.
As to scrubbing, sometimes you have to do it, if you have big flakes of stuff coming off. I try not to let it get to that point.
My grandmother had the same cast iron skillet on her stove day in and day out. It always just sat on the burner, waiting for the next meal prep. One of my favorite memories of her is when she started to make hamburgers for a bunch of us grandkids for lunch and realized she didn't have any hamburger buns. She had hot dog buns. So, she made "dog" shaped patties and cooked them up in that big ol' skillet. We thought it was great! (Grass fed beef grown right there on the farm.)
re: GalinaL
Hmm... in my experience, I think it depends. Whenever I pan fry a steak (beef, pork or fish) in oil, I never have problem dissolving the seasoning with this "oil+juice" mixture. In fact, I usually left the "oil+juice" mixture in the pan overnight because I was too lazy to clean up right away, and this mixture had ever eaten up my seasoning layer.
However, I do think an acidic meat juice mixture will. For example, if you finish your meat with a deglazing in wine or some acidic sauce. Yes, then this "acidic juice" can harm the seasoning layer.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It depends indeed, I was not talking about acidic sauces. May be relatively new seasoning could be more affected, but noticed it several times.
re: GalinaL
Sorry to hear that. :(
Hope you have better luck in the future.
re: GalinaL
I didn't know that. Are there any particular meats with which you find this happens?
re: Sirrith
No , just regular broth . I remove everything immediately.
re: GalinaL
I personally feel that is a mistake. If I were to experience this, I would continue cooking in it, not take the meat out.
I feel that no matter what people think, the best way to season cast iron is to let it season itself. Just cook in it...the pan will take care of the rest.
Hi. You said:
"Could it be that the flax-seed oil oven method is just not very durable? This time I just heated the pan up to 600F and rubbed several layers of lard on it. The seasoning looks much nicer than when I tried flax."
Yes, it is the flax seed oil seasoning that is flaking off. There is actually quite a bit of controversy in the cast iron world about seasoning with flax seed oil. Some say flax seed oil is the best seasoning out there; many others complain about the flaking issue that you have noted. There has been much discussion about the flaking with flax seed oil seasoning in the various cast iron forums. Here is one recent posting: http://www.griswoldandwagneotherr.com...
I have tried many different ways of seasoning my pans including flax seed oil, and have seasoned jillions of pans. I always come back to Crisco vegetable shortening. Of course, what works for one might not for another, but Crisco is my go-to. If you are interested, I outline the process I use here: http://thepan-handler.com/about-the-p...
re: thepanhandler
Crisco has been recommended in several threads on this site (mostly by me), but for some reason few people seem to pick up on it. I suppose they think it is too old-fashioned and that some newer, high-concept method must be better.
re: GH1618
Shortening like Crisco probably is avoided because newbs may--unreasonably--fear that its hydrogenation is unhealthy. I wager few post-GenXers even keep any in the house.
IMO, this avoidance is like avoiding straight-gauge aluminum cookware--based more on unfamiliarity and hearsay health concerns than fact.
re: GH1618
I don't use Crisco because it doesn't exist in my part of the world. Nothing wrong with using what's available. In my case, that's coconut oil.
re: LMAshton
Very hard to find where I'm from as well.
re: LMAshton
It isn't the brand that matters. It's vegetable shortening, which is semi-solid at room temperature.
"Many people in the UK are confused by the term "Shortening" and don't think it is available in the UK. In fact, in the UK shortening is available under brand names such as Cookeen, Trex, White Flora, etc.
In France, the predominate brand, which is called "Végétaline", is made from hydrogenated coconut oil."
re: GH1618
Yeah. It still doesn't exist here.

I've set up a Sonar installation on our build server so that we can maintain reporting on our coding rules compliance, code coverage, etc.
What I want to do is maintain this Sonar installation as the main source of our checkStyle, findBugs and PMD rules. Sonar supports this by letting you modify the rules its using and export them. I can then import these rules to developer machines running IntelliJ Idea with the QAPlug plugin.
The problem is that I have to import profiles individually. Which means I will have to run QAPlug with the checkStyle profile, then then the PMD plugin, then the findBugs plugin. This is a few too many steps to expect developers to do all the time.
I can combine them within the plugin itself, so that it executes PMD, checkStyle and findBugs rules at the same time. But then the amount of steps to maintain the profile becomes too large. ie. Modify rule in Sonar, export 3 profiles, combine 3 profiles into one, distribute to developers.
Is there a better way of achieving this goal?

Feds say Greene County body is missing girl Skylar Neese
Updated On: May 01 2013 05:34:18 PM EDT
A 16-year-old Morgantown girl pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Wednesday, and another girl is facing charges in the stabbing death of a Star City teenager last summer.
Rachel Shoaf appeared Wednesday in Monongalia County Circuit Court after agreeing to plead as an adult, said U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld. She is in custody until sentencing.
The plea agreement offers no insight into the motive for the slaying but says Shoaf inflicted the fatal wounds on 16-year-old Skylar Neese, an honors student at University High school.
Neese's remains were found in Wayne Township, Pa., in January, about 30 miles from her family's home.
Prosecutors plan to recommend a 20-year sentence for Shoaf and indicate they will oppose any move to have her sentenced as a juvenile.
Shoaf's family issued a statement through Morgantown attorney David Straface, apologizing to Neese's family and saying they were shocked to learn of their daughter's involvement.
"There is no way to describe the pain that we, too, are feeling," they said. "We are truly sorry for the pain that she has caused the Neese family, and we know her actions are unforgiveable and inexcusable. Our daughter has admitted her involvement and she has accepted responsibility for her actions.
"Our hearts are broken for your loss, and we are still trying to come to terms with this event," they said. "We pray that we all will find peace in our hearts and the strength to move forward."
Shoaf's attorney declined further comment.
U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld said a second teenager was in custody, but authorities haven't named her or said what she's being charged with.
Straface said he is not representing that suspect, and the Monongalia County prosecutor's office didn't immediately return messages.
Neese was last seen on surveillance video leaving her family's apartment voluntarily and getting into a car on July 6, 2012. She was initially considered a runaway, but her parents soon suspected she was abducted.
The recovery of her body led to changes in West Virginia's Amber Alert process.
Legislators recently passed "Skylar's Law" so Amber Alerts are not limited to kidnappings. It now requires law enforcement officials to relay initial reports of any missing child to State Police, who then contact the Amber Alert system.
Amber Alert personnel would then decide whether to issue an alert.
University High School, Principal Shari Burgess would not confirm that Shoaf was a student there but said that anytime a tragedy occurs, counselors are on hand to help students.
Though classes went on uninterrupted Wednesday, Burgess said there would be an announcement advising students that help was available for those who need it.

Jounieh Municipality building, Monday, Feb. 24, 2014. (The Daily Star/Mahmoud Kheir)
BEIRUT: A prostitution ring was busted overnight Tuesday in Jounieh, north of Beirut, a statement from the police said.
The statement issued by Police Discipline Unit said 26 people were arrested during the night raid in the coastal city.
Security sources told The Daily Star that six men, two Syrians and four Lebanese, were running a human-trafficking ring for the purpose of sexual exploitation and prostitution.
The ring included 20 women, three Lebanese and 17 Syrians, the sources said.
They were all found in an apartment in Jounieh during the raid, the sources said.
The suspects were arrested after a tip to the police of suspicious activity at the residence, they added.

It was inevitable that Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather would receive some type of punishment after connecting hard with Ravens receiver Torrey Smith's head in last Saturday's preseason game.
What he got was more than he probably bargained for. The NFL announced on Monday that Meriweather, who has long had a reputation as a head hunter, will be suspended for the first two games of the season.
This is the sixth time Meriweather has been disciplined for hits to an opposing player's head. A year ago, the NFL gave him a two-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit, though it was reduced to one game on appeal. With the track record he has, Meriweather may not be so lucky, assuming he does in fact appeal this particular suspension.
Washington's first two games this year are against Houston and Jacksonville.
Meriweather is doing no one any favors by continuing to lead head first into the head and neck area of offensive players. But it's unlikely he'll change is playing ways anytime soon.
