Sheriff: Missing Arizona teen found dead in OregonAugust 26, 2013 @ 9:51 pm
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The father of an Arizona teenager whose body was found Monday evening near his abandoned SUV in the woods of southern Oregon said his son was "a young man who had a broken heart."
The body of Johnathan Croom, 18, was found about 1,000 feet from where his vehicle was found abandoned last week, Douglas County sheriff's spokesman Dwes Hutson said in a statement.
Hutson said the Apache Junction, Ariz., youth's death was being investigated as a suicide but he provided no additional information. He didn't return a call for comment.
In a telephone interview from Oregon, David Croom said his son was grieving the end of a recent relationship with "someone back in Phoenix."
"He was a young man who had a broken heart and headed out to try to find himself," the elder Croom said. "We're looking forward to finding out exactly what happened."
He thanked everyone who helped search for his son and added, "Please pray for our family."
The father said he had no specifics on a cause of death.
The teen had talked with his parents about the book "Into the Wild" and told a friend he wanted to run away.
Croom's SUV was found Wednesday in Riddle, a town of 1,200 people just off the state's main north-south thoroughfare, Interstate 5.
His mother, Monica Croom, had said he was traveling alone and on his way back from Seattle, where he visited a friend. The teen was due in Arizona on Aug. 17 to start college in Mesa.
Hutson said earlier that text messages between Croom and a friend indicated Croom wanted to run away.
Hutson said Croom also talked to his parents about Christopher McCandless, whose journey to Alaska was documented in the book "Into the Wild." McCandless gave up his worldly goods to live in the Alaska wilderness, only to die there, perhaps from eating wild potatoes.
"I think we have kind of a combination there," Hutson said earlier Monday. "He talked with his parents about `Into the Wild,' and in text messages we've looked at, he does specifically talk about running away, kind of just running away from his life."
Earlier this year, a 19-year-old from Oklahoma disappeared after talking to his parents about the same book and setting out to test himself against the Oregon wilderness.
Dustin Self's truck was found in April on Steens Mountain in southeast Oregon. The last search for Self was in the spring, after snow melted, but it yielded no hints to his location.

Needing to restart proftp weekly?
I have an unusual problem with proftp. My install of ISPConfig seems to be working flawlessly on a FC5 installation. I can log in using my FTP client all week long locally and remotely but every Sunday morning it gives me an error stating "response not understood". ProFTP is still running on the server. Simply restarting ProFTP sets everything back to working order with no error messages. Is there any cron jobs running weekly that could upset ProFTP, or is this a bug in ProFTP itself? Anybody else encounter this? Thanks in advance for your time, Dave
To me this looks as if it is caused by a weekly cron job. What''s the output of
ls -la /etc/cron.weekly
crontab -l

Take Precautions at Work and at Home to Avoid Lower Back Pain
When the threat of back pain looms, it's important to do all you can to prevent it before you are stricken. Back pain is the number one complaint doctors get, with an estimated 80% of people experiencing it throughout their lifetimes. 50% of working Americans admit to having back pain annually, and the primary cause of this is spending long hours seated in a cheap office chair. But there are steps to take both at work and at home to offset the harm sitting can do to the body.
At Work
- Get the Right Chair - The best chairs for lower back pain are ergonomic computer chairs. These quality office chairs are designed for people who spend long hours sitting at work. They are designed with a lumbar pillow insert to support your lower back, and ergonomically-adjustable components for preventing back pain. These chairs will keep you sitting up straight, and alleviate the pressure on your lower back.
- Pay Attention to Ergonomics - A quality ergonomic office chair is not going to do any good unless the chair is appropriately adjusted. Make sure the chair's individual components are adjusted to suit the user's body, as most everyone's body dimensions are different. It's also important to make sure the entire workstation is ergonomically sound, meaning the computer monitor is just below eye level, the computer mouse is close enough to the user, and any regularly-used tools or utensils are within arm's reach.
- Take Breaks - Taking regular breaks from your cheap office chair will have a very healthy effect on your lower back and your circulation. If you can take a break every hour, even to walk across the office and back, you will find yourself feeling better and focusing more.
At Home
- Stretch - The muscles of your back spend long hours in a strained, uncomfortable position when you are seated all day at work. When you have the opportunity at home, it's important to stretch out these muscles, to offset the time they spend cramped in a cheap office chair. It may seem more natural to stretch your lower back muscles by bending over and touching your toes, but it's actually arching your back and sticking out your bottom that stretches your lower back muscles.
- Get Enough Sleep - While chronic back pain is the top cause of insomnia, lack of sleep paradoxically works to make lower back pain even worse. It's important to get enough restorative sleep to allow your body to work to heal itself, and to allow the muscles in your lower back to relax.
- Exercise -Keeping your muscles in action as much as possible is very important to your back health. It is particularly important to concentrate on strengthening your core, as a strong core will help support your spine when you are seated, thus avoiding lower back pain.
Surgery is Not the Only Option for Treating Lower Back Pain
Back pain is a common complaint, and 50% of working Americans claim to experience back pain symptoms each year. In fact, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) estimates that 31 million Americans are experiencing lower back pain at any given time.
Dr. Mark Stouffer, spine surgeon with Intermountain Southern Utah Neurosciences Institute, explains in an interview with The Spectrum that, "The more stress you put on your back, the more at risk you are for developing degenerative disk problems."
People who do manual labor are at particular risk for disc problems, but even working a simple desk job can lead to lower back pain.
The human body is designed for standing and walking. When we spend extended period of time (like, say, eight hours) sitting behind a desk in a cheap office chair, it puts excess strain on the lower back. It may seem a stretch to blame desk chairs for back pain, but extended sitting, and especially sitting with bad posture, can cause a great deal of discomfort over time.
Many people assume that surgery is the only option for treating lower back pain, and will therefore avoid consulting a doctor about treatment until the pain becomes unbearable. However, doctors always try to treat the pain with non-surgical options first. Unless there is severe spinal trauma, or serious symptoms of a larger problem, your doctor will not consider surgery a necessary treatment.
The majority of back pain is treated without surgery, and in fact, Stouffer says 85 to 90% of patients improve without surgical intervention. Nonsurgical treatments for lower back pain include:
- Rest.
"Modify your activities until you get back the acute pain," suggests Dr. Stouffer. However, it's best to continue to engage in some sort of aerobic activity, like walking. Once the acute pain has faded, maintaining a regular exercise routine can build stronger back and abdominal muscles, which will help support and take pressure off the spine.
- Over-the-Counter Anti-Inflammatories.
"Ibuprofen or Aleve can help reduce swelling and treat the pain," says Dr. Stouffer. A lot of times, lower back muscles have stretched and tightened due to injury or strain, and that is what is causing the discomfort. An OTC anti-inflammatory can help relax the tightened muscles, and reduce any swelling that may be causing discomfort in the spine.
- Steroid Injection.
Steroid injections are a more serious option to consider if other options have failed. "If pain doesn't subside, steroid injections can help," adds Stouffer.
But the best treatment for lower back pain is naturally to stop it before it starts. Finding the best desk chairs for back pain will help. The best office chairs for lower back pain are ergonomic computer chairs. these chairs are designed for people who spend long hours sitting, and they have the proper support and adjustments to ensure that your body is in a healthy, comfortable position, and much of the strain on your lower back is alleviated.
If you're starting to experience lower back pain in the office, you might consider looking into some new desk chairs for back pain relief.
- Rest.
Avoid Common Office Ailments With These Simple Tips
p>Work is a very important part of most of our lives. It takes up most of our time (Usually 40+ hours a week), and whether or not it is what you want to be doing with your life, it is a very large focus of it. The bad part is, even your dream job can be hurting you, if you're working a desk job.
There are many different ailments that can result from long hours spent sitting in a cheap office chair, and the repeated motions of everyday office life. These ailments manifest themselves in different ways, but many of those ways can often be painful and unhealthy. Take a look at some common ailments below, and what you can do to prevent them.
- Back Pain
Back pain, especially lower back pain is the most common complaint among office workers. At least 50% of working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms annually, and about 31 million Americans are experiencing back pain at any given time. The human body is designed more for standing and walking, so sitting for long hours puts excess pressure on the muscles and spine in the lower back.
But what can be done to prevent lower back injury? Believe it or not, the best office chairs for lower back pain can make all the difference. The best office chairs for lower back pain are ergonomic computer chairs. These chairs are designed for people who spend long hours sitting, and have all the right support and adjustments for optimum comfort. The most important feature of the best office chairs for lower back pain is the lumbar pillow insert -- this lifts and stretches the muscles in the lower back, and helps take some of the weight off of the lower vertebrae.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a cumulative trauma disorder stemming from prolonged repetitive, forceful, or awkward movements. The result is damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves of the neck, shoulder, forearm, and hand, which can cause pain, weakness, numbness, or impairment of motor control. The most common form of RSI is carpal tunnel syndrome.
Office ergonomics are also helpful to prevent RSI. Make sure your office chair is adjusted to the appropriate height, and that you are not bending your wrists at awkward angles (in, out, or upwards) to type. Also, if you use a computer mouse, make sure that the mouse is moved close enough to you. A gel wrist pad will also help to keep your wrist in a neutral position while mousing.
- Headaches
Headaches may seem like an unavoidable problem at work, especially if you're under a lot of stress. But there may be other things causing your work headaches, keeping you from focusing fully on your work, and being less productive.
Your headaches could be caused by a number of different triggers: dim lighting, screen glare, smells, hunger, caffeine, dehydration, etc. Make sure your work station is adjusted appropriately so that your computer screen is at the right height, distance, and angle. Put an anti-glare screen protector on your screen, and ask to move to a different cubicle if yours is near direct fluorescent lights or unpleasant smells (like too much perfume).

Don't Fall Victim to Lower Back Pain in the Office
Back pain is the most common complaint among office workers, and in fact, at least 50% of working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms every year. 31 million Americans are experiencing lower back pain at any given time, and they may not know what to do about it.
Well, the most important step to take is to make sure you have the best office chairs for lower back pain, and that they are adjusted correctly. There are other steps to take to prevent or alleviate back pain, such as taking breaks from your desk, stretching, and taking walks, but for the time you do have to be seated at your desk, finding the best office chair for lower back pain will do you a lot of good.
The best chairs for lower back pain are ergonomic computer chairs. These quality office chairs are not only comfortable, but are equipped with the cushioning and adjustments that will help to keep your body supported and healthy. Cheap office chairs are often not particularly comfortable, and you get what you pay for.
The most important feature of the best office chairs for lower back pain is the lumbar support. Most quality office chairs come equipped with a lumbar support pillow, which cushions the lower back area. This helps to lift and stretch the muscles in the lower back, and to alleviate some of the stress on the lower vertebrae. This area of the spine supports much of your body's weight when in the seated position, so it is very helpful to alleviate some of that strain.
It's also important to make sure that your chair is properly adjusted. You may not have previously thought that these adjustable components of your chair were very important, and maybe even kept them the same as the person who used the chair before you. Even the best office chairs for lower back pain will be of no use to you if they are not appropriately adjusted. Using in improperly-adjusted chair can lead to neck pain, muscle tension, and leg pain, in addition to back problems. There is no universal office chair, because there is no universal body size. Make sure you adjust your chair accordingly, and you will likely experience a good deal of relief.
Keep Your Comfort and Health in Mind When Setting Up Your Office
Your workstation should be designed to keep you comfortable and enable you to perform your work easily and comfortably. It's important to take care when designing your workstation, to ensure all the elements are working together to provide you with the utmost level of comfort.
It's important to make sure that your workstation is designed to avoid any strain, discomfort, or repetitive injuries. One of the most common complaints by office workers is lower back pain. Making sure you are taking care of yourself will ensure that you are healthier and more productive in the long run.
The most important consideration when putting together your work space is selecting the right chair. It may not seem very important, after all, a chair is a chair, right? Wrong. Cheap office chairs will be of no help to you, and can possibly cause discomfort and injury.
The best chairs for lower back pain are ergonomic chairs. The benefit of ergonomic chairs for back pain is that they are designed for people who spend long hours sitting, and therefore have all the necessary support and adjustments to keep them comfortable.
The most important benefit of ergonomic chairs for back pain is the lower back support. The best ergonomic chairs for back pain will have a lumbar support pillow. This pillow cushions the muscles in the lower back, while supporting and cushioning the vertebrae in the lower back, which must support the most of the body's weight.
However, using ergonomic chairs for back pain will not make any difference if the chairs are not appropriately adjusted. These chairs are designed to be adjusted to suit each individual user. Obviously, no two people are the same, so the only way to design one chair to benefit everyone is to make it adjustable to fit different body dimensions.
>When getting a new office chair, you should make sure it is adjusted to fit you. The seat height should be adjusted to allow your legs to fit under your desk, with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. The back rest should be tilted at a slight angle, no more than 30 degrees, so that it can help take some of the weight off of your lower back. Your armrests should allow your arms to rest comfortably without lifting your shoulders.
Designing your work station may not seem like a very difficult task, but your most important consideration should be arranging it so that you are comfortable and safe. You don't want your long hours of hard work to cause you discomfort, poor health, or injury. Choosing the right chair will be a step in the right direction.

Apache Canada said stress corrosion cracking in a flexsteel water-injection pipeline caused a produced-water release discovered June 1 at its Zama pilot project 150 km northwest of High Level, Alta.
The release affected 42 ha and has been contained. Apache raised its estimate of the volume of produced water, from which hydrocarbons had been removed, to 15,400 cu m from an original estimate of 9,500 cu m. It has begun soil remediation.
Apache said sulfur gas from the produced water permeated an inner plastic liner of the pipeline, which is less than 5 years old, and attached to the four layers of steel bands protecting it. The pipe has an exterior plastic liner.
"Apache believes a pinhole in the exterior plastic liner allowed water to leak into the pipe, which mixed with the sulfur gas, causing stress corrosion cracking and the sudden failure of the pipe," the company said in a statement. It said the failure occurred on May 5.
The company has treated more than 110,000 cu m of water from the area and released it to the environment. It has injected 80,000 cu m of affected water into the producing formation.
Zama is a carbon-dioxide enhanced oil recovery project.

Seaworthy: What will you buy? Comparing boats
While gathered around the watering hole or lurking about online chat rooms, you may hear people spouting the virtues or failings of one boat brand over another. Generally these people have some brand loyalty or are justifying a purchase, be it frugal or exorbitant.
The arguments of value are usually centered around a few main talking points. The most common are fit and finish, two-piece vs. three-piece construction, no wood construction, and resale value. There are more to be sure, but these are the main arguments bantered back and forth when Fred and Joe compare boats.
Let's go over these and maybe a few more with the hope that you, too, can join the fray, when you hear your brand being bashed or another being promoted. These simple descriptions will hopefully aid you in selecting future boat models with a better understanding of how they are constructed and what that actually means to you, the consumer.
Let's start with resale value. This is a real and tangible thing. Used item sales rely on marketing as much or more than new unit sales. It is all about perception of value. Some brands have it some don't. A few brands have more perceived value than they deserve. I see the results every day. One large function of vessel survey is valuation.
A large portion of my value equations is based upon current listing and sales figures. Considering the 20 to 30 percent instant beating the new boat buyer takes in depreciation, resale value is of great concern. I once read a study in some obscure trade publication that sighted two years as the average ownership interval for powerboats nationwide. If that is true, than paying for a name begins to make very good sense when buying slightly used boats only a few years old. I would rather pay a little more up front than take a real blood bath when a lesser brand depreciates in two years.
What about no wood construction? Stuff and hogwash. Almost every top-tier builder on the planet uses wood in some way when building boats, simply because wood is a material uniquely suited to the construction of boats. The problem is to avoid wood rot related issues in the future, the builder must adhere to very strict guidelines and quality control. Doing it right is expensive. Not using wood lets a builder utilize unskilled labor and less quality control. Trust me folks, it's a matter of saving money, not make a better boat.
Fit and finish combined covers an absurd amount of territory. The description begins with the actual look of the boat, but moves quickly into the quality of all the little hardware used like hinges, latches, and assorted fittings. The term includes the wiring and the aesthetics of the wiring. The accoutrements are also included. All the deck hardware, water management, and even non-skid type falls into the F&F category. Does the boat shudder, creak or clank when taking any sea conditions?
Regarding two or three piece construction, it's simple. When talking about small open fiberglass boats like center console fishing boats, think about the hull up to the rub rail as one piece. Sometimes the cockpit deck goes full width and is attached to the actual hull side. That is the second piece. The cap deck is attached to the hull like a shoebox lid and either screwed, fiber glassed, bolted, riveted, or any combination above, in place. This is also sometimes called the gunwale. The cap deck is the third piece. In a two-piece boat the cap deck and cockpit deck are all one piece and form a sort of inner wall. Each design has strengths and weaknesses that can be argued either way. Three-piece boats generally offer greater rigidity and a deep toe-kick for fishing. Two-piece boats offer greater storage and simplicity of assembly.

After Effects Performance (2012)
The performance of Adobe After Effects - on a number of different systems using different processors and different operating systems - turns out to be messy and unpredictable. I had hoped I could come up with a magic equation based on the speed of the processor multiplied by the number of threads and be able to spit out a prediction on how fast After Effects will behave, but it didn't turn out that way. Processors from AMD and Intel behave differently. Different generations of processors from Intel behave differently. One variable that was remarkably consistent was the version of After Effects - C4, CS5, CS6, it didn't matter, at least with the project I was working with.
NOTE: This assumes you have enough RAM. A RAM-starved After Effects makes the angels cry. I'd say 1GB per processing thread is a reasonable minimum. Considering you'll need RAM for other things in your system, 12GB of RAM on an 8-thread system should be a minimum, but you might as well go 16GB: RAM previews are nice, eh? Heck, if AE is your bread-n-butter, get 32GB. Trust me.
My failure to come up with an After Effects performance equation that would bear my name for generations to come did yield some interesting data, however, and I've summarized it here:
|AE Render Time
|AMD 8150 (OC'd)
|Oct. 2011
|331 seconds
|Intel Xeon 5650
|March 2010
|Mac Pro
|309 seconds
|Intel i7 2600
|Jan. 2011
|iMac 27"
|296 seconds
|Intel i7 3930k
|Nov. 2011
|200 seconds
|Intel i7 3930k (OC'd)
|Nov. 2011
|149 seconds
* The Speed is what the processor operates at while rendering in After Effects. All of these processors throttle and the maximum speed cited by marketing drones is often only for one core. The Speed listed here is accurate for the task at hand.
* This is the Date of the processor's release, not the Machine. All of these Machines are brand new as of May 2012.
* Render Time of my custom project, which you can download and test here. Lower is better.
* Higher numbers are better for Geekbench.
* For Price? Lower is better, eh?
Failure in science is a good thing (contrary to what hysterical anti-science new age hippies and old-fashioned Jesus freaks might say), and my negative results do allow me to make some interesting (if controversial) conclusions. Other than the AMD outlier, the Intel chips seem to get faster by date, with the old March 2010 Xeon 5650 being the slowest. The numbers I've presented here don't account for the price/value of these systems either and the AMD system is definitely the most economical. Unfortunately, another conclusion I have to make is that the current Mac Pro system being sold by Apple as of May 2012 (2x 2.66Ghz, 16GB) for about $6,500 is just not a good value for After Effects: I would definitely recommend getting the gorgeous 27" iMac for quite a bit less than half the price (and hope that Apple has a Mac Pro ace up their sleeve in the very near future). For you Windows folks the news is also good: Whether you build your own or order a beast from HP or Dell, grab a fast multi-core/threaded machine with plenty of RAM and you'll be happy as a clam.
Finally, it's also interesting to note that the After Effects performance numbers didn't match up with the generic GeekBench scores for these machines, which is exactly what I hoped I'd be able to tease out of these systems. The old Mac Pro rocked the general benchmark, but faired poorly on my render test. Could that be the way I set up my project? What if different effects were used? Excellent questions. Please, feel free to challenge my methods and come up with a test of your own. I would love to expand this and see how useful these tests really are.
ADDENDUM: I should add that on a particular machine, there is a direct relationship between processor speed and After Effects performance. So with the 3930k machine above, accidentally knocking the processor back to 1.2Ghz means it gets really slow and overclocking it to 4.6Ghz (where it's running comfortably right now) results in an improvement of about 133% and brings the Render Time down to 149 seconds, which is more than twice as fast as the Mac Pro that costs four times as much.

Even as drug war violence encroaches, a sharp drop in crime over the past decade has changed the culture of Mexico's capital.
After midnight, Cesar Perez, the director of Mexico City's Driving Without Alcohol program, stands alongside more than a dozen other police officers at a checkpoint on the corner of Reforma and Insurgentes avenues, near the capital's historic center. Perez, a veteran officer with a serious demeanor, isn't looking for drug smugglers. He and his team have a different focus: drunk drivers.
He looks over at the line of cars by the curb. "In 2003 [former New York City mayor Rudolph] Giuliani came to look for programs to increase the efficiency of the police," Perez says. "We had a high incidence of drunk driving." Under a slight drizzle, a police tow truck operator raises the front of an impounded late model Volkswagen Beetle. The car's driver, a middle-aged man in a crisp blue shirt, fails his breathalyzer test and will spend the night inside a holding facility, along with a few hundred other over-the-legal-limit drivers detained at other checkpoints.
In other parts of the country, cartel violence is raging and criminals are taking advantage of the resulting power vacuum. But in Mexico City, the police, through their presence in the streets, have helped reduce the types of common crimes that affect residents the most. The alcoholímetro checkpoints are now a well-recognized element of Mexico City's nightlife. They are part of a broader slate of innovative community-oriented police programs that have helped turn Mexico City from one of the world's most dangerous places into one of the safest areas in Mexico.
At the checkpoint on Reforma Avenue, police officers in white vests emblazoned with the word "ALCOHOLÍMETRO" wave cars though the cordoned-off lane behind the mobile breathalyzer station. "It's a civil infraction... [we detain] eight to twenty-five people a night," at each checkpoint, Perez explains. Five detainees who failed their breathalyzer tests wait inside a transport vehicle. "When there are five or six people, we take them to El Torito," he says, a holding facility where drunk drivers must spend a minimum of twenty and a maximum of thirty-six hours. "It's not a pleasant place. People don't want to go back," Perez says.
Police patrols, security cameras, and a relentless focus on reducing crime has transformed Mexico's capital.
Mexico City was once feared as being the most dangerous city in the planet. A new network of security cameras, and a focus on community police-work and patrols, have helped entrepreneurs, restaurant owners, and young professionals out of a decade of stalled urban renewal programs, and fostered the emergence of a vibrant nightlife. As street gangs have receded to fringe neighborhoods, crime has fallen, and many late night partiers have a different concern: the fear of being detained at the breathalyzer checkpoints.
Even high profile figures such as Manuel Espino, the ex-president of the right-of-center National Action Party, and Sergio Sendel, the actor who provided the voice for Diego in the Spanish-language version of Ice Age, have been detained at the checkpoints and taken to "El Torito." Nearly 100,000 drivers have been detained at alcoholimetro checkpoints since the Driving Without Alcohol program was implemented in 2003. The culture of Mexico City's vida nocturna has already started to change.
After Mexico's economic collapse in the mid-1990s, violence increased in the capital. "There was an explosion of crime," says Eduardo Guerrero, a Mexico City-based security consultant. In 1994, Mexico City's crime rate increased by a third, a jump that was repeated again in 1995. In 1997, in two separate incidents, an American journalist was shot in the spine during a botched kidnapping attempt and two German tourists were shot in a robbery at a restaurant. In 1998, for the first time, the U.S. State Department warned that crime in Mexico City "had reached critical levels," and warned U.S. citizens visiting Mexico's capital that there had been a "marked increase in the levels of crime committed." In 1996, an average of three murders a day was recorded in Mexico City.
Starting in 2000 with the election of leftist politician Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as Mexico City's mayor, the city began investing in a series of innovative social programs. Shannon O'Neil, a Mexico expert from the Council on Foreign Relations, explained that Marcelo Ebrard, who was mayor between 2006 and 2012, and his predecessor, Obrador, "went street by street in the Centro Historico and got rid of the ambulantes [unregistered street vendors]. It's a variant of the broken windows theme." Ebrard also told the police to focus on ticketing drivers who neglected to wear seatbelts. He installed security cameras throughout the city, and set up the alcoholímetro checkpoints to crack down on drunk driving.
"Accidents caused by drunk drivers are down 30 percent," Perez said. Other types of crime have fallen as well. In 2012, the U.S. Department of State dropped its "critical crime level" warning for Mexico City. Police patrols, security cameras, and a relentless focus on reducing crime in in upper-middle-class neighborhoods such as Polanco, Condesa, and La Roma have helped change the city. In particular, the alcoholímetro anti-drunk driving program has been a success. "People think it's annoying, but it really works, it's lowered the number of drunk driving accidents," Eduardo Guerrero said. In recent years Mexico City has also achieved impressive reductions in assaults, robberies, and violent crime. In 2011, inter-gang conflicts in Mexico City, the largest urban hub in the country, accounted for about 1 percent of the total number of drug-related murders reported in Mexico.

Mitchell: Little Bryeon should be on our minds everyday until he is found
BY MARY MITCHELL email@example.com April 19, 2013 9:56PM
Amber Alert photo of Bryeon Hunter, 1&1/2 years old, taken by force from his home in Maywood. | Provided Photo
Updated: May 22, 2013 6:45AM
Hope is fading that Bryeon Hunter's body will be found.
The toddler went missing from the Village of Maywood last Tuesday.
Three Hispanic males battered her and sped off in a car with her son, according to Lakeshia Baker, the boy's mother. Within hours, Maywood police had concluded that Baker's story was not true.
In fact, Baker and her boyfriend, Michael Scott, 21, who lives with Baker, were each charged with first-degree murder Friday night.
But little Bryeon's body still hasn't been found.
"We have searched dumpsters, alleys, vehicles and the mother's home. We are still looking at the mother's home," Police Chief Tim Curry told me.
"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and looking for a needle in a haystack again."
A search of the Des Plaines River at 1st and Lake Avenue on Wednesday was called off when the rains moved in. Flooding in the forest preserves near the area where Baker claims her son was snatched has made the search even more difficult.
Curry always doubted the boy would be found alive. He said officers are looking for him in Maywood and elsewhere.
"We are not going to stop. We will never stop," he said.
The toddler disappeared wearing only a long-sleeved blue-striped T-shirt, blue jeans and Nike shoes.
The search has been a desperate race against time.
Because even if Bryeon's captors didn't harm him, even if they dropped him off in an isolated area in the forest preserves, the baby wouldn't have been able to survive on his own.
Having debunked the mother's initial story of a racially motivated attack, police are left with a mystery.
In a normal news cycle, that mystery would have been national news, especially since this mother's claims about what happened to her son sound a lot like the racial hoax Susan Smith pulled to cover up the murder of her two young sons in 1994.
In that notorious murder case, Smith claimed she had been carjacked by a black man who drove off with her sons still in the car. The mother went on national news programs pleading her case, only to confess nine days later to intentionally letting her car roll into the lake, drowning her children.
Bryeon's strange abduction, however, was overshadowed by a national tragedy.
Since two bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon on Monday killing three people, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, and injuring 170 others, local and national media have focused on identifying and capturing the culprits.
Then came the rain.
While the initial search of the Des Plaines River brought together police personnel and equipment from across the western suburbs, by Friday most of those police districts were swamped with flood-related distress calls in their own municipalities.
At Maywood's own police station, some police officers had to seek refuge in makeshift quarters upstairs after the lower level flooded.
Still, considering the gravity of the situation, the scene at the police station was eerie. There were no visible search crews or even media hordes waiting for the latest tidbit.
That's what we've come to expect, isn't it?
In recent years, families whose loved ones go missing often organize the community and search every nook and cranny themselves.
Bryeon's grandmother, Brenda Lloyd, was the lone figure standing at a window on the second-floor landing at the Maywood Police Station on Friday morning. She was glued to the window as if she expected to see her grandson walk up any minute.
Not surprisingly, the family has hired a lawyer and Lloyd did not want to answer any questions then. She did, however, affirm that her grandson has not been found.
Bob Lowery, Senior Executive Director of the Missing Children's Division, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said volunteer search crews are usually organized in the early hours of the disappearance.
"As time goes on, the search won't be as visible as you might think you would see. Sometimes law enforcement knows where to look and may be looking into specific areas. I can tell you there is an intense investigation and search for this child," Lowery added.
An adult knows exactly what happened to this missing child and why. But it will be difficult getting to the truth if the spotlight goes out.
For instance, also on Friday, police in Boston had the entire city on lock down after one bombing suspect was killed in a battle with police and the other was the subject of a door-to-door manhunt — before being caught.
Such big stories swallow up smaller ones.
But we must not forget 1-year-old Bryeon is missing.
His picture should be in our faces every day until he is found.

At the Aloha Summit today, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone revealed the company's plans to revamp the Twitter homepage to include saved searches and filtering.
Here's a mock-up of how it might look:
Posting from me will be a little light today. The reason? Aloha Summit baby!
If you want to follow the action/tips you can do so by watching for the hashtag #aloha on Twitter.
You can also keep an eye on my Twitter updates here.
Well, it must be that time of year. You know when the leaves change colors and Ask changes their design? At some point they have to settle on something. They are actually starting to act like your "different" cousin who shows up at family functions with a new body piercing and a bad attitude just for shock value. You pay attention for a minute then you realize that it's actually really sad that she doesn't get it.
Ask.com is starting to feel that way in the realm of search engines. Once full of promise and ready to take on the big boys of search (which is now just one big boy and Ask partners with them anyway; dare to guess who?) they are now becoming a bit of a search sideshow. In today's WSJ we learn that a new and improved Ask.com is on the horizon (see screenshot). There are two points that are interesting here. First is Barry Diller's spin on this redesign:
Another song for the day, yes? "I'm Gonna Buy Me a Dog." It's what's playing now on my computer.
Oh, and how can you beat this—now playing: "Bohemian Rhapsody." Salute me. I'm about to rock. I know you're jealous.
I have a little song for you today. It's to the tune of "Oh Shenandoah."
O-pen Social, you long to give us
A-a-apps, all open source
O-pen Social, you long to serve us
A-a-away you're bound to go
'Cause Facebook's stealing your lunch
Okay, the last line might not fit so well in the song, but it looks to be happening in the real world. Yet another social network that had pledged its support to Open Social is adding compatibility with Facebook's application language. Yes, first it was Bebo (in December) and now it's Friendster.
Announced a year ago, Open Social is Google's answer to Facebook's then-proprietary social network app markup language. Designed as a cross-platform, open source language and set of standards, Open Social seemed pretty awesome at first.
You don't see a lot of traditional advertising from Google. Their philosophy is to build great products and develop amazing technology and let it sell (and support) itself. Their marketing strategy has relied mostly on word of mouth – and its worked well. It just may not be enough for a company their size.
That is slowly changing. Google looks to be shopping for an ad agency. They've looked at Madison Avenue agencies like Wieden + Kennedy and Taxi New York. They've hired an agency for a campaign in Japan called "100 Things You Can Do With Google." However, unlike many top brands Google ads aren't running on prime time.
As you know, I'm quick on the trigger when it comes to giving Microsoft's search incentive programs a hard time. Well, I try to be fair and balanced. With that in mind (gulp), Live Search Cashback might actually be working!
You heard me. New data from Hitwise suggests that Microsoft's master plan is showing signs of success.
Eleven weeks ago, MSN Cashback represented 3.75% of the traffic to Live.com and grew to 6.29% last week. This rise in Cashback's traffic underscores the interest in the program, which is likely to be getting a boost from shoppers looking to save money and stretch their budgets given the current economic climate.
And, while Live Search is not showing any increased market share, it's audience share is stable–suggesting that perhaps Live Search Cashback is helping!

Consumer Health Information Corporation Warns Poor Patient Adherence In Clinical Drug Trials May Be Putting The Public At Risk
MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Every person taking a prescription drug should be able to trust that the recommended dose is safe. This may not always be the case according to Dr. Dorothy L. Smith, President and CEO of Consumer Health Information Corporation. In the last ten years, many patients have developed unexpected toxicities from prescription drugs that have been on the market for 5-10 years. FDA has responded by cutting the doses of several drugs in half and withdrawing others. During this same time period, patient adherence in the general population has been increasing due to media attention and improved patient education by health professionals.
"Why have there been so many unexpected toxicities in the last 10 years after these drugs have been approved? Why are approved doses later being cut in half? Could there be a link to patient adherence?" To try to answer these questions, Dr. Smith reviewed the last 20 years of the patient adherence research in clinical trials. The findings were shocking:
- Between 1997-1999, patient adherence was not monitored in 53% of clinical trials. Many of these drugs are still on the market.
- Up to 30% of study patients do not take the full dose of the study drug.
- Study patients cannot understand 35% - 94% of Informed Consent documents.
- At least 50% of study patients do not tell the study team they missed doses.
- Many study patients do not realize that missing doses could endanger the lives of millions of people after the drug is approved.
- Poor patient adherence that is undetected in clinical trials may result in a dose that is inaccurate and too high.
Unexpected adverse drug reactions and toxicity could occur when patients in the general population are more adherent than those in the clinical trial. Dr. Smith urged clinical trial investigators to:

Area Agency on Aging:
Senior Center Services
The Older Americans Act of 1965 laid the foundation for what was to become Senior Centers and the Aging Services Network, including the Area Agencies on Aging that support them. In 1973, under the Comprehensive Services Amendments to the Older Americans Act, grant funding was made available to community agencies to create both the Area Agencies on Aging and multi-purpose Senior Centers.
As a the historical focal point for aging services and aging services programs, Senior Centers have continued to grow and prosper under the various reauthorizations of the Older Americans Act. These reauthorizations have expanded senior nutrition services; established supportive services to help seniors remain independent; and added distinct appropriations for the establishment of in-home services for the frail elderly, a long-term care ith special needs, health education and promotion, elder abuse prevention, and SSI, Medicaid, and Medicare outreach efforts.
Kentucky Area Agencies on Aging from Bluegrass A.D.D. on Vimeo.
Bluegrass Area Agency On Aging from Bluegrass A.D.D. on Vimeo.
The Kentucky Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living Network of Programs & Services
Power Point
In addition to being both the supportive services and social engagement focal points for seniors within their respective communities, Senior Centers continue to develop, expand, and coordinate efforts to provide information and assistance; undertake outreach and enrollment efforts; distribute health promotion information and host programs; sponsor recreation and education programs; make supportive counseling available; and provide employment assistance, transportation, telephone reassurance programs, advocacy, friendly visiting, and many more services. Senior Centers provide a place for individuals in their respective communities to volunteer their time and their energies, share their talents and experiences, and contribute to a more vibrant and diverse community.
As nutrition and meal sites for older adults, Senior Centers provide both congregate meals that are served on-site, as well as home delivered meals. Both types of meals are funded through the Older Americans Act Title III, state, and local funds.
Eligibility for Senior Center programs and services is 60 years of age or older, although volunteers and guests of all ages are welcome and encouraged to call or visit, to find out how they can participate and help. Adult disabled dependents of those over 60 years of age are also welcome at Senior Centers, and can share in meals with their senior participant.
There is no application, per se, for participation in most center-based activities and programs, although registration is usually required after a few initial visits as a guest.. Contact the Senior Center in your area for information about their registration policy or the application and intake process for selected programs and services.

This four-passenger car/boat is relatively light at around 2,425 pounds, and equipped with huge 35-inch tires with paddles that can be removed for those times when watery adventure isn't on the schedule.
We like the unusual moon rover-like design of this vessel/car, not as sleek as some designs for aquacars we've seen, but appealing nonetheless. Is this for real? Plans for production are unknown but unlikely. However, there's a prototype on the loose, and here's a video of that amphibious aqua-auto in action:

Barbara Krumsiek Featured on Consuelo Mack's WealthTrack on PBS
Calvert CEO discusses growth in Sustainable and Responsible Investing and current opportunities
In a recent interview on PBS' WealthTrack, hosted by Consuelo Mack, Calvert CEO Barbara Krumsiek shared insights on why assets in Sustainable and Responsible Investing (SRI) products are growing, what SRI is, and what opportunities are most promising now.
Krumsiek shared several dynamics that are behind increased asset flows into SRI vehicles:
- New awareness among investors that there is a connection between environmental, sustainable factors and investment performance.
- Companies are finding that sustainable investing in their products and markets makes for good business.
- Investors (individual and institutional) are more actively engaged in using proxy voting and other measures to improve the performance of companies.
Mack noted her understanding that the definition of SRI has expanded significantly from simple avoidance of so-called "sin stocks" to include broader, more impactful sustainability issues of governance, workplace diversity, human rights, and the environment, among others. Mack and Krumsiek discussed The Calvert Social Index, a broad-based, rigorously constructed benchmark for measuring the performance of large, U.S.-based companies following sustainable and responsible policies. Krumsiek describes how Calvert evaluates companies for the Index:
- Management of their environmental liabilities and opportunities – Calvert understands that companies who ignore the potential impact of their carbon- and climate-change footprint risk a negative impact on their bottom line and their public image.
- Record on workplace and diversity – Studies have shown that companies with diverse boards have better stock performance and broader client appeal.
- Attention to human rights – As globalism expands, it is of greater importance that companies fight corruption and invest in safe workplaces.
Historically, a criticism of SRI has been that it necessitated sacrificing some performance, but Krumsiek points out that this has not held over time. Calvert's expectation is to perform at or above benchmark averages. When asked about currently compelling areas of SRI, Krumsiek cited water as a huge opportunity. There are great investing opportunities in water transportation, water infrastructure and clean water. Another exciting area is "green bonds,", which Krumsiek asserts will be key to growing climate-friendly industries to critical mass.

1/4 cup grated carrot
2 cups chopped cooked venison
2 cups diced cooked potatoes
1/2 cup light cream
Seasoning salt
Salt and pepper to taste

Introducing myself and my journal: Living Large in Limbo
About Me:
Following a mid-life loss, I traveled to the Middle East to assist Iraqi and Palestinian refugees and am currently writing a book about my experiences. My dream is to bring to Americans voices we seldom hear: an Iraqi child who has known nothing but preparing for or recovering from war, a Palestinian mother trying to navigate a checkpoint in the West Bank, a woman whose entire family was murdered in a refugee camp in Beirut....
I'm an American woman who traveled to Iraq 5 weeks before the US-led invasion in 2003 and returned a few months later to find the people who had so deeply touched me. Since then, I have been writing, blogging and speaking about my experiences. I've addressed audiences from Congresswomen in the US Capitol to 5th graders learning about the pillars of Islam -- more than 400 audiences in 9 US states, Guam, the Philippines, Poland and Mexico.
Let me know if you'd like me to come to your community!
I blog at www.PeacePATHFoundation.org.
My Passions:
I believe our struggles are human struggles and that we can connect with each other through empathy and sharing our resilience.
My Challenges:
I am technologically challenged! I would like to learn to structure my blog better, to take and upload video and to use Twitter and Facebook effectively.
My Vision for the Future:
Mutual respect and universal freedom of movement and speech
My Areas of Expertise:
Citizen journalism, interviewing, public relations, public speaking
Welcome Kelly
No worries Kelly!
We can put those social network tools together in no time at all. Just let me know when you are ready to start. Such tools come in handy, and are very useful in what we do.
Welcome, and peace!
Darren Bunton
Involved, SM
Good to meet you!
Wow, great Kelly!
Yes, I am fairly-heavily involved with World Pulse and Pulse Wire!
Have you had the chance to look at the Voices of Our Future program here on WP? It's a great way to learn a few strategies for ethical social journalism, while making a difference in the world. I think there is still time to sign up to be chosen.
I would suggest starting with your Twitter and Facebook accounts, followed with Blogger. Perhaps a Wordpress would also be a good start. Just don't take on too much, as to not become complacent or negligent of your accounts, which I am sure will not be the case. One way to avoid this is by integrating all accounts into one home page. Example: http://www.wix.com/dbunton/darrenbuntonj
In the meantime, I am gonna look at PeacePATHFoundation, if you too would check out www.ewayentertainment.com.
Thanks Kelly!

Hot Emo Chat Girls Pictures and Hot Emo Chat Boys
Some might say that emo is merely a popular musical genre. For example, a lot of the emo songs deal with such themes as despair, heartbreak, love, and faith. Common and close to every modern teenager or adult, they won't leave you indifferent. Nevertheless, it is much more than that. Emo is a lifestyle.
If you are active, emotional, and creative, welcome to the club. Being yourself doesn't necessarily mean being a loner - you can easily find soul mates. Experiment with the way you look to express your personality, find new friends, and get the most out of your everyday life. Change your hairstyle or wear something you have never even thought about. Daring colors, tight jeans, stylish T-shirts, and unique accessories will help you look modern and attractive anywhere you go. Follow the most popular trends and develop your own unique style.

Emo Chat Boys' and Girls' Style
If you want to become an emo, you'll have to look like one. Don't hesitate to change your image and bring some class to it. The variety of styles and opportunities allows you to choose between fashionable street look and glam wear. In any case, pay attention to clothing - Emo Chat Boys and girls are destined to stand out.
Dyed black hair, tight T shirts and logos of famous rock bands are an essential part of the image. Note that tight jeans with studded belts and noticeable belt buckles will look appropriate on both boys and girls. Straightened hair and a long 'emo' fringe combed to one side have already become a popular trend. Long, short and medium emo hairstyles for boys and girls
If you are not sure what you are looking for, check out special galleries: filled with pictures of Emo Chat Girls and boys, they will give you some useful ideas. Extraordinary hairstyles and scene haircuts along with the most daring clothing styles are collected in one place. Having shown one of these pictures to your hairdresser, you will get your dream image. Choosing hairstyles, you don't have to copy Emo Chat Boys and girls - change your hair the way you like it and be original. Moreover, you can share your style with the rest of the world. Upload your own photos and inspire newcomers.
Typical Emo Girlfriend Makeup
Try to create complex style with your hair and makeup. Having made a final decision on haircuts and styles, you should think about your face. Classic emo makeup is rather dramatic bringing the brilliance of the scene to your everyday life. Apply base shadow, gradually proceeding to the defining color - it will help you reach the desirable effect.
Note that makeup styles may be a bit different for girls and boys. Girls should thicken the eyeliner (you don't need an ordinary daily makeup, do you?) to reach solid black effect. If you have bright hair or just want to add more color, feel free to experiment. Colorful eyeliners will perfectly combine with red, pink, or blue emo hairstyles. Remember that you don't need the lines to be perfect. Smudge the lines to look like Emo Chat Girls from popular pictures. Smoky eyes shining between the locks of dark hair are a sure way to impress boys.
Look for step-by step guides. Including detailed pictures and commentaries, they will give you some clues. Emo Chat Boys normally use minimum foundation, although dark eyeliner is a must. Since most of the hairstyles are black, avoid neon colours and choose the monochrome style instead. You can often find photos of boys and girls that can inspire you. Apply extraordinary emo makeup and change.

Usual Accessories You Can See Emo Girl or Boy Wearing
You can often seen Emo Chat Girls and boyls walking around with extreme hairstyles and unusual haircuts. However, perfectly styled hair is not enough. To show your individuality, you can buy some common emo accessories. Suitable for boys and girls alike, they create colorful accents and make your look complete.
Moreover, girls can brighten up classic hairstyles with bows and hair clips. Such accessories are offered in the variety of styles, including the most exotic color mixtures and prints. Having decided to perform a makeover, visit one of the online shops to get what you want. Collected in special sections, emo accessories will surprise you with colors, designs, and prices.
Those, who are not ready to dye their hair or wear scene makeup, will enjoy stylish neckties, key chains, and buttons. Boys will appreciate numerous bracelets, scarves, and hats. Quality pictures and complete descriptions will help you choose the best products. If you don't know how to combine them in your new emo look, you can always find photos that encompass all possible styles. Such pictures are normally uploaded by users and can be rather useful for those, who are new to this culture. Become one of the stylish Emo Chat Boys and girls right now.
What Songs Do Emo Listen To?
Highly influenced by hardcore punk and indie rock, emo music is notable for melodic songs and expressive lyrics. Themes of love and loss, life and death are timeless and, therefore, widely popular among Emo Chat Boys and girls. Just like any other genre it is dicided into a number of styles from melodic rock to screamo.
Most of the emo bands can be easily spotted for their unusual look: extreme haircuts, scene makeup, and unusual clothes. Boys and girls often use their photos as a guide to new styles and a way to improve their own image. Pictures of popular idols and band logos are seen on themed accessories and clothes, such as shirts, hair clips, buttons etc. You can always print a quality image and show it to your hairdresser to get one of the best hairstyles. Exotic and colourful hair will bring a nice change to your everyday life and help you express yourself.
However, emo music is not only bright pictures and hairstyles - attitude is everything. Millions of girls and boys all over the world love this music for its philosophy. Dealing with common life problems, it opens a whole new world of emotion and sensitivity. Remember that your look (hair, makeup etc.) is only a part of the emo lifestyle. Join emotional boys and girls and feel the tunes.
emo chat boys and girls chat
What Clothes to Wear If You Are an Emo?
There is no sense in following common trends if you don't like them. Emo clothing styles are a perfect way to express your personality and stay cool at the same time. Divided into two major directions (street and glam), they are perfect for any occasion.
Street emo look is a great everyday variant for both boys and girls: tight black jeans, band T-shirts, stripy or checked accessories, and skate shoes. On the other hand, glam or scene emo clothing will be appropriate at gigs, parties etc. Enjoy contrasts and unusual patterns combined with high heels and skirts (for girls) or edgy shoes (for boys). Pay attention to your hair and don't be afraid to experiment with it. There are no rules for Emo Chat Girls and boys - be creative and do what you like. Bring something new to ordinary haircuts or try a complete makeover.
The best hairstyles are asymmetric, although short spiky hair is also quite common. Looking for new ideas, you can check some online galleries and browse through thousands of exclusive pictures. Remember that your look has to be harmonious, so make sure your hair fits your clothing style. If none of the ready styles suits you, step away from pictures, lists, and photos. Mix up existing hairstyles and popular clothes to create your own remarkable image. Get ready to rock with Emo Chat Boys and girls.

I have been reading through keto posts on substituting daily caloric requirements from fats and meat and less on carbs. This part i understand.
There's one part i don't understand though.
Here's what i know pls correct me if i'm wrong.
Every person has daily calorie needs. If one consumes excess calories the idea is that he'll store those excess as fats on his body.
Hence is there a limit of fats a person should consume even when he is on a ketonic diet to prevent fat from accumulating on his body?
I'm on another forum where the general idea is that you can consume as much fats and protein as you like and still lose fat as long as you don't consume carbs. Is this the correct view point?
Therefore if that's correct what happens to the excess fat in one's diet when he's on ketosis.
