The woman told police she took pictures and sent them to a man she met online.
OF A WOMAN CHARGED WITH PERFORMING SEX ACTS ON A 7-YEAR OLD BOY? THE POLICE REPORT SHOWS THE WOMAN TOLD COPS... SHE TOOK PICTURES OF THE SEX ACTS... AND SENT THEM TO A MAN SHE MET ONLINE. TARGET 7 INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER NANCY LAFLIN IS HERE WITH MORE. THIS IS A COPY OF THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT. IN IT... GWEN LINDGREN TOLD OFFICERS ... SHE MET A MAN ONLINE... A MAN SHE REFERRED TO AS HER SAVIOR. GWEN TOLD POLICE THAT SO CALLED "SAVIOR" DEMANDED SHE SEND PICTURES OF HER PERFORMING SEX ACTS WITH A CHILD. THIS IS THE 34-YEAR OLD WOMAN... STILL BEHIND BARS... CHARGED WITH RAPING A CHILD -- PERFORMING ORAL SEX ON HIM... TAKING PICTURES... THEN SENDING THE PICS TO A MAN ONLINE. IN THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT.... GWEN LINDGREN TOLD OFFICERS ... THAT MAN WAS HER QUOTE "SAVIOR"... HER EX-BOYFRIEND... EVEN THOUGH THE TWO NEVER MET. LINDGREN TOLD POLICE AT ONE POINT... SHE HAD TECH TROUBLES WHILE TRYING TO SEND THE PICS --- THAT THE MAN BECAME ANGRY... SO THE NEXT DAY ... LINDGREN TOOK MORE PHOTOS... AND SENT THEM AGAIN. SHE SAID THE MAN EVEN RETURNED ONE OF THE PICS TO CONFIRM HE RECEIVED THEM. "So we asked Albuquerque police if that man faces any type of criminal charges.... An APD spokesman says right now... they won't release any other information in this case... or say if the man in this report is part of another investigation. We also checked in with the f.b.i. to see if they're part of this case. The feds say so far they haven't been asked." BUT WE'VE ALSO LEARNED A GROUP OF WOMEN... A WOLFPACK OF MOM'S IF YOU WILL... TOLD ACTION 7 NEWS... THE LITTLE BOY AT THE CENTER OF THIS WAS DEFINITELY BEEN ON THEIR RADAR. "We basically took him in under our wing." THESE WOMEN... FIVE OF THEM SAY THEY SAW SIGNS OF NEGLECT FOR MONTHS. "We would just watch him. We would feed him." THEY SAID THE BOY WAS FREQUENTLY LEFT ALONE, AT THE SWIMMING POOL DURING THE SUMMER ... AND AT THE BUS STOP, ALONE WITHOUT A COAT DURING THE WINTER. SO THEY TOOK HIM IN AND CARED FOR HIM. THE GROUP SAYS THEY CALLED AUTHORITIES. "We thought the best thing for us to do was to call cyfd." THE WOMEN TELL US ... THEY CALLED AT LEAST TWICE... IN MAY. THEY ALSO NOTIFIED THE BOY'S SCHOOL. THE GROUP SAYS THEY KNEW ABOUT THE NEGLECT... BUT HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE ALLEGED SEXUAL ABUSE. IT WAS EVENTUALLY ANOTHER CALL TO CYFD THAT LED TO AN ARREST IN THIS CASE. BUT WE ASKED THE AGENCY ABOUT THOSE EARLIER CALLS -- THE ONES MADE MONTHS AGO. THE DEPARTMENT WOULDN'T CONFIRM IF THERE WERE ANY. WE ASKED IF THE BOY WAS EVER REMOVED FROM HIS HOME. AGAIN NO COMMENT ON THAT. CYFD SAYS THE CHILDREN'S CODE PREVENTS THEM FROM TALKING ABOUT THESE CASES. THE ONLY THING THEY WILL SAY: THE BOY IS NOW IN STATE CUSTODY... AND IS OKAY. WE KNOW THAT

THERE'S NO ONE ELSE ON THE BUS, AND THE WOMAN MOVES CLOSER TO GONZALES. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS TOO GRAPHIC FOR US TO SHOW, AND TOO MUCH FOR OFFICIALS TO EVEN TALK ABOUT. I was raised to be a gentleman and I'm hoping I'm keeping up to that standard. And for me to describe what's on this video makes me very uncomfortable man if I could sell that I could make a million dollars BUT THIS PATRON PUSHING THE BABY STROLLER - SAW THE LEWD ACT AS IT HAPPENED. HE LATER GOT ON THE BUS, THEN FILED A COMPLAINT. officials say the bus driver is a 14 year veteran with the city. But as soon as the city got the complaint, and looked at this video, they had to take action AND ACT THEY DID. LAST FRIDAY, THE CITY FIRED GONZALES. it was also determined that an egregious violation of rules had taken place ABQ RIDE SAYS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST. OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE REST OF THEIR DRIVERS TAKE THEIR WORK SERIOUSLY. they know what ethical behavior is and they do it everyday IN NORTHEAST ALBUQUERQUE, ANNA VELASQUEZ KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS.

KCCI's Jason Rantala and Vanessa Peng LIVE in Nevada have Team 8 coverage with the amazing video! It was just before 7:30 this morning when Matthew Henrich backed his pickup right through what once was a door. Narrowly avoiding several customers inside the store. < < quite a morning , yeah It was early Thursday morning at the Good & Quick Convenience store...

Charlie's doorway... its seen better days. Just a few hours later, a temporary door is installed. < i guess an easy way to make a drive through window Charlie's doorway might be gone... but his sense of humor remains <we're open we're really open ANd for Lonnie, it's a routine stop and chat he wont soon forget. < Owner Charlie Good says Henrich's girlfriend works at the store... but she wasn't on duty at the time. Damage is estimated at 10- thousand dollars. Now to KCCI's Vanessa Peng! She's LIVE at Henrich's home where a suspicious fire broke out this morning! Jason, everything starts here at this house. Officials say the fire is suspicious. Firefighters were called here around 7-15 this morning. They found the home and detatched garage engulfed in flames. <26:50 "AS THE FIRE UNITS ARE RESPONDING THERE A FEW MINUTES LATER WE GET A CALL OF A VEHICLE RUNNING THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE GOOD AND QUICK." 57> Nevada Police say the driver -- 38-yr-old Matthew Henrich intentionally backed into the store's front door...with customers INSIDE. Fire officials back at the burning 536 4th Street house were checking to see where the resident was located. The person they were looking for happened to be Henrich. Meantime, Henrich allegedly drove away from the Good and Quick and led officers on a high speed chase. He drove into Hamilton County and officers were called off the chase. At one point stop sticks were laid out, but he still continues to drive on.

Gear Question
can the watch be used as a unisex? with...
Member since
can the watch be used as a unisex? with of course adjustment to a female wrist? I want to get this for my girlfriend
Member since
A chick could definitely rock this. You would need to adjust the wrist band. The only concern is if she has a very petite build the face may be bigger than her wrist.
Member since
The face on that is between 34-41 mm if that helps in your decision making.
Member since
a chick should TOTALLY run this watch .... it has a smaller face compared to other men's nixon pieces, and would fit a girl great! do it, she'll love it.

Ever since the first eBay Live! in 2002, this annual event has been known as a social and networking event for 10,000 or more eBay users who want to hobnob with each other as well as eBay employees. But eBay Live! is also an important educational opportunity for people looking to start businesses on eBay. "It's a combination of learning, celebrating and networking," says Guldner.
In fact, eBay Live! is at the top of Sinclair's list of educational opportunities. "People can learn more at a trade show than they can in any other environment," he says. "Being able to walk the floor and talk to vendors and see what's available to help you on eBay is a huge education that can't be duplicated anywhere else." And that's before you even get to the formal education offered there. This year's eBay Live!, held June 13 to 15 in Las Vegas, featured more than 175 classes, workshops, labs and seminars. It also had celebrity speakers such as Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream co-founder Jerry Greenfield. The keynote address by Whitman gave attendees a chance to hear about the future of eBay from the person in charge. All told, eBay Live! is an education in itself, says Sinclair. "You have a three-day smorgasbord of lectures on a wide variety of topics," he says. "You can pick from what you know and what you need to know."
"[eBay Live! is] a tremendous resource," agrees Josato, who has attended eBay Live! and gone to classes there as well as met with vendors of services for eBay sellers. "I recommend it to anybody who's getting serious about their business on eBay. There are just so many resources available."
Education on eBay has come a great distance from the first eBay University classes. From live radio shows to customizable online learning, eBay educational resources span a broad spectrum of topics and levels of sophistication. Education isn't just for newbies, nor is it only for experts. "We believe learning is a valuable part of the eBay experience, regardless of where you are with your career with eBay," explains Guldner. "So we have resources available for all types of users."
Though eBay education is largely about coursework and curriculum, that's not the whole story. Learning about eBay by taking notes in a classroom lecture, shaking hands at an eBay Live! networking function, sitting in front of your computer listening to an eBay Radio broadcast or taking an online course all help to put a face on the people who are part of the eBay community. "I can remember going to the first eBay Live!, and members were delighted to meet us," recalls Guldner. "It's a unique opportunity when we're out there teaching and making their experience on eBay a little better."
Learn More Online
eBay's educational offerings took on a state-of-the-art hue with the opening of the new eBay University Online this year. "It's a real change to our existing online training," says Sharon Guldner, manager of education programs for the eBay platform.
The new Learning Center consists of almost completely refreshed content, which is a significant evolution. More important is the introduction of a new platform that enables users to build their own customized lesson plans.
When users log on to eBay University Online, they will be provided with specific training recommendations based on their level of experience and interests. "If you're a brand-new user, we'll teach you the basics of buying, selling, photography and so forth," says Guldner. "If you're a little more experienced, we'll talk about the basics of using eBay Stores and other topics that are more advanced."
When users pick from a catalog of courses, they initiate a tracking system that follows their progress through the self-paced coursework. "If you have designed your own curriculum and built a catalog of four or five courses, and [you] get through only two-and-a-half of them, you can come back and pick up where you've left off," says Guldner.
eBay University Online doesn't stop there. As you make your way through the courses you've selected, you'll be presented with an ever-changing set of additional educational options for further learning. "After you've completed a set of lessons, we'll then recommend another set of classes and enable you to design additional coursework," says Guldner.
eBay University Online will appeal mostly to the more computer savvy eBay students. But there will always be offline training for people who prefer to get their education face to face. For the rest, eBay University Online offers cutting-edge, self-paced computer instruction available any time. Learn more at www.ebay.com/education.

Both my wife and I had ongoing issues with regularity. This formula (even better is the Fiber Fusion drink mix)is gentle but amazingly effective! Start with 2 capsules, on an empty stomach, with at least 8 ounces of water. Over two weeks work up to 4 capsules per day. Two important synergistic components to achieving regularity are probiotics (find a good one and take it for 30 days) and magnesium. Try a daily serving of Natural Calm or Life Time's Calm & Calmer II to up your magnesium intake. The combination will change your life dramatically for the better. I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews (click alloriginal)to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.
I love, love, love this product!

I have always had a lot of trouble with fiber products. Either they were too harsh or they were not completely effective. With Fiber Fusion, however, I have had great results! For me, I take 4 capsuls at bedtime and by the time I wake up in the morning they are working. And I discovered a wonderful bonus. I lost 5 pounds and 3 inches off of my lower belly as well! My only caution is to slowly adjust the amount you take and to take them at night. When the capsules start working, the work fast.
Excellent results!

I've always had problems with constipation since having my first child. I've tried several fiber supplements over the years and wasted tons of money. This is very gentle on the stomach and absolutely works!! You will not be disappointed with this purchase. Remember, everyone's digestive system is different so I would suggest giving this about 2 weeks or a month at the most to began seeing the benefit of using this product.

Ricky Ponting won't be remembered as one of Australia's great captains. He has always lacked the tactical flair of a Mark Taylor or Richie Benaud and has been unable to help deliver the killer blow that was the hallmark for the most part of Steve Waugh's reign. As a leader, he also falls into the category of a streetfighter that was Allan Border, rather than the elder statesman that Waugh and Taylor became.
However, he remains the right man to lead Australia into battle against England this summer, for, let's face it, there are few options.
If Australia fails to regain the Ashes, then it will be time to look elsewhere, for the need will be strong to rebuild in time for the 2013 Ashes tour.
But calls for Ponting's immediate scalp from former Test quick Geoff Lawson were, like several of Mitchell Johnson's deliveries in the second innings in Bangalore, way off the mark.
Lawson should know better. His playing career corresponded with calls, even from the likes of former Test spinner and then respected Fairfax columnist, the late Bill O'Reilly, for Border to be sacked circa 1985. In somewhat of a farce, NSW captain Dirk Wellham, who could barely get a game at a time Australian cricket, still reeling from the retirements of Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh and defections to the rebel tour of South Africa, had support to take over.
Lawson said today on ABC radio: "I mean he's now lost five series, it may be time to say 'look mate, we've got Michael Clarke ready to go with a nice fresh young mind, he can be the captain and you focus on your batting and try to restore yourself to the level we know you're capable'."
The one problem with that argument is Clarke managed just 35 runs at 8.75 in the Indian series. He remains flaky with the bat. Ponting, at least, passed 50 three times, finishing with 224 runs at 56.
He even blamed himself for the defeat after failing to convert his good start into a double ton in Bangalore, just as Sachin Tendulkar had done in his match-winning knock.
Indeed, that comment was something of a sobering reminder of the early days of the Border years when, if he failed with the bat, all hope was lost.
That's how far the Australian side has dropped since the golden era of the early 2000s.
If Lawson wants a replacement, he may need to start searching under a rock.
Clarke, despite being Twenty20 captain, isn't ready. He needs a year of sustained, high-class batting, just as Ponting had in 2002-03, before being considered.
The Cricket Australia board hopes Ponting can hang for two more years, perhaps hoping Clarke can finally emerge.
Simon Katich and Mike Hussey aren't the answer while Marcus North always seems to be a Test away from being axed. Shane Watson, according to good judges, would make a fine vice-captain - provided he can remain injury free.
Victorian skipper Cameron White may never play another Test, so suggestions he is the right man are fanciful. Anyone remember the disaster that was the brief reign of England's Chris Cowdrey in 1988?
Ponting's ability to juggle his batting and captaincy commitments aren't the issue. Two months shy of his 36th birthday, he is on the wane as a batsman, but that's to do with age - not leadership.
It's his lack of flair, that instrinic quality of an outstanding leader, that remains a worry. It's something that's hard to put a finger on but all great captains boast - the ability to bring out the best in teammates, or make the right bowling change at a crucial time.
Shane Warne made a good point when he questioned on Twitter the field spinner Nathan Hauritz was asked to bowl to in the second innings in Bangalore.
Hauritz went around the wicket and was given a heavily laden leg-side field for his opening two overs. They cost 22 runs and he, again, was banished from the attack. When he finally returned, the off-spinner was given more of a regulation field, and he claimed a wicket with a clever arm-ball.
What was disturbing to hear, however, in the post-match press conference was Ponting seemingly heaping the blame on Hauritz, claiming he had been given the field he had asked for.
No bowler should be given that right. It must be the captain's call. Warne would often try and coerce Taylor into giving him what he wanted. "Shut up and just worry about bowling," was what Taylor generally responded with.
If Ponting had allowed Hauritz to take charge, that must change.
Warne has since tried to make peace with the man he nicknamed "Punter" when they first met at what was then the Australian Cricket Academy. Ponting has since hit back, which was fair enough, but he must know deep down Warne has never truly endorsed his leadership for it was a role Warne had desperately wanted but never had because of his off-field troubles.
Remember, it was Warne who called on Ponting to show more leadership during the losing 2005 Ashes series, which, from several acounts, included a spat between the pair on the morning of the Edgbaston Test when Ponting, despite losing Glenn McGrath to injury, still opted to bowl.
England would post 400 on that opening day and the series, seemingly dead after the Lord's Test, was suddenly in the home team's favour.
Ponting was also criticised for his defensive declaration during the WACA Ground Test against South Africa five years ago that eventually ended in a draw. It's a match remembered locally for Brad Hodge's double ton.
Ponting also blundered in the fourth Test against India in Nagpur in 2008 when he let the hosts off the hook. Ponting did not use his frontline bowlers as Australia pushed for victory for fear a slow over rate would have seen him suspended for the impending opening Test against New Zealand.
Indeed, India hasn't been kind to Ponting the captain. In seven Tests, he has lost five and drawn two. He missed the opening three Tests of the breakthrough 2004 tour because of a thumb injury. Adam Gilchrist took charge and secured victory before Ponting returned for fourth and final match - a loss.
Ponting has also twice overseen losing campaigns in England. Admittedly, McGrath's injury derailed the '05 campaign but that's quickly forgotten in a sport based largely on cold, hard statistics.
Ponting knows this summer is make or break. As a legendary batsman and solid captain, he deserves the chance to fail.

Investigative Report THE PANAMA CANAL IN TRANSITION: THREATS TO U.S. SECURITY and CHINA's GROWING ROLE IN LATIN AMERICA XXXXXXXXXXXX SECTION BLACKED XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Introduction: The Panama Canal, one of the world's key strategic waterways, is scheduled to be turned over to the Panamanian government on December 31, 1999. The Canal remains vital to American trade and defense capabilities. The Canal remains the vital sea link in the Western Hemisphere between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and an economic and logistical bridgehead between North America and South America. Currently, some 15 to 20 percent of total U.S. exports/imports pass through the Canal, including some 40% of all grain exports. It is also a vulnerable "front-line" state against the spread of narcotics and terrorism that plague its South American neighbors. Ironically, the day that the delegation arrived in Panama, a week after the closure of the U.S. counter-narcotics center at Howard Air Base, heavily-armed Colombian narco-terrorist forces operating on Panamanian soil, dressed in full combat gear, were interviewed on national television. Panama has been the only country in Central or South America to host an active US military presence [SOUTHCOM] and permanent military training and operations bases. All of the American military bases, including counter-narcotics operations centers, are scheduled to close by June 30, 1999. The People's Republic of China, through the Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. company, which has close ties to the PRC government and People's Liberation Army (PLA), was granted a 25-year lease, with an additional 25 year option, for control of the Canals Atlantic and Pacific Ocean ports of Balboa and Cristobal and adjacent facilities. The delegation witnessed Hutchison Whampoa conducting major construction and port facility expansion at both the Atlantic and Pacific Canal ports. Hutchison Whampoa will control the stevedoring [loading and unloading of ship cargo] at the ports. The company also has a substantial interest in the railroad line that coordinates transportation of cargo between the ports. In addition, the Chinese company is a major bidder on construction of a new suspension bridge that will link "land canal" highways that will truck oversized cargo containers between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The war in neighboring Columbia against well-armed narco-terrorist forces, with a history of ties to Cuba, is escalating and threatens to spread throughout the region. Panama does not have an army, navy or air Force, The Panamanian government has an ongoing reputation for corruption and mismanagement. Chinese organized crime organizations are active in drugs, guns and illegal alien smuggling in Panama, and the Russian mafia is known to be supplying weapons to Columbian narco-terrorist forces. On June 1 - 4, 1999, XXXXX, special assistant to XXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Asia and Pacific specialist on the XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX traveled on a fact finding mission to Panama. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX In Panama, the delegation coordinated meetings with XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX In Panama, the delegation met with current and former Panamanian political leaders, Canal workers, journalists, U.S. embassy officials, US military representative and informal American and Panamanian private citizens. In addition, the delegation drove the length of the Canal, observing the ports of Balboa and Cristobal, the Free Trade Zone in Colon and operations of the important canal locks at Miraflores and Gatun. In addition, the delegation visited U.S. military facilities at Fort Clayton [Pacific Coast] and Fort Sherman Jungle Operations Training Center [Atlantic Coast], Mission Goal: The goal of the mission was to make a cogent assessment of the developing situation in Panama, including the role of communist China at the Canal and the growing threat of narco-terrorist forces in the region. There appears to be a lack of information or concern on the part of the U.S. Congress and the American public. The muted debate over the Canal in the United States has been polarized. Some public interest organizations, warn of Chinese military bases eventually being created in Panama and even a future missile threat. On the other hand, the Clinton administration and a number of professional bureaucrats consider those fears unfounded and have no qualms about China's growing role at the Canal. By most accounts, an unfair and corrupt contractual bidding process, which was protested by the U.S. ambassador to Panama, enabled the Chinese Hutchison Whampoa Company to outmaneuver American and Japanese companies for the long-term lease on the Canal ports. A new democratically elected government, led by President-elect Mireya Moscoso, is scheduled to be inaugurated in September. The delegation attempted to develop recommendations for new private and governmental American actions to maintain a critical national security and counter-narcotics presence for the United States in Panama, as well as to limit the influence of communist China at the Canal and in the region. The Geo-Strategic and Narco-terrorism Threat: The purpose of the mission was to observe first-hand the final stages of the withdrawal of U.S. military forces in preparation to hand over the Canal to the government of Panama on December 3I, 1999. The delegation shared the concern of Senate and House International Relations Chairmen Helms and Gilman, that the United States is losing vital counter-narcotics bases in Panama, Although the Clinton administration is attempting to set up other temporary counter-narcotics bases in the region, the locations are not as effective as Panama and the cost will run into hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, the loss of U. S. forward operational bases in Panama will have serious implications for Hemispheric security, including rapid deployment in times in crisis. The delegation was also concerned about the growing presence of communist China directly at the Canal and in the region. U.S. and Panamanian security officials stated that Panama has become the central base of operations for communist China in Latin America. Panama is a Pacific Ocean port, and the canal is vital to commerce between the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas. [Europe also uses the Canal for a substantial mount of its trade with Asia] It is also a vital component to emerging Chinese communist strategy to dominate the Pacific and to undermine and isolate the United States. The Number Two user of the canal, after the United Slates is Japan, with China and Taiwan competing for the third position. The unofficial representative of the People's Republic of China [PRC] is believed to be a senior intelligence officer who operates out of an office on the top floor of a bank building in Panama City, with a staff of fourteen assistants. The $2 billion worth of annual business conducted by PRC in the Canal has rapidly eclipsed the $400 million of business by Taiwan. Taipai fears that it will lose diplomatic recognition, similar to its loss in the Bahamas, where the PRC invested a large amount of money - over and under the table - to gain control of the ports and political influence. Worldwide, China appears to be progressively positioning itself commercially and militarily along the key naval choke points between the Indian Ocean [its bases in Burma]; the South China Sea [Hong Kong]; the Straits of Malacca [the Spratley Islands and a growing role in Cambodia]; the central Pacific [a major land satellite tracking station on Tarawa]; the coast of Hawaii [a major ocean mining tract]; the Caribbean [Cuba and the Bahamas]; and now the Panama Canal. China's flagship commercial shipping fleet, China Ocean Shipping Company [COSCO, is directly connected to the People's Liberation Army and Chinese communist government. COSCO ships have served as careers for massive smuggling operations around the world - including the United States -- of weapons, drugs and illegal aliens. In addition, COSCO has been used by the Chinese government to ship missiles - and components of weapons of mass destruction to rogue nations such as Pakistan and Iran. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recently witnessed China's aggressive Pacific strategy in their growing fortifications in the strategic SpratLEy Islands and their threats to the Philippines. A "vacuum-filling" pattern seems to be emerging: Wherever in the Pacific the U.S. withdraws or is negligent militarily, politically or economically, the Chinese communists move in. In addition to a growing commercial prowess in Caribbean ports such as the Bahamas, China recently completed military/intelligence agreements with Cuba to build communications intelligence facilities adjacent to Russia's massive technical spy center at Loutdes, Cuba..The Lourdes facility monitors the U-S- Atlantic fleet and elements of U.S. Pacific fleet operations, as well as domestic commercial and military communications throughout the Americas. The growing anti-U.S./NATO "strategic partnership" of China and Russia poses an increasing threat. There is a well-documented history of both Russian and Chinese organized crime organizations working as tools of their governments. In Panama, where government corruption is rampant, there is a dangerous convergence of well-financed Chinese and Russian mobs with Cuban government operatives and Latin American drug lords, leftists and narco-terrorist militants. This dark partnership is a threat to democracy in Panama and in neighboring countries, and is a direct long-term threat to Mexico and the United States. Chinese Alien Smuggling: The massive smuggling of illegal aliens from the People's Republic of China into Panama's ports is a major security problem for both Panama and the United States. Government officials and private Panamanians expressed their concern about the massive illegal immigration flow from mainland China, and the corruption among Panamanian officials who permit it. The alien smuggling - largely of peasants who have little money of their own -- is conducted by Chinese triad gangs on commercial ships. The price for Panamanian residence documents is $10,000 to $20,000 per alien. The new Chinese are visible not only in Panama City and Colon, but throughout the country, with many small Chinese businesses springing up, with workers who do not speak Spanish, in communities throughout the country. Panamanian officials say that many Chinese aliens final destination is the United States. Corruption is viewed as the Number One national problem by Panamanian voters. It is reported that officials in the Balladarcs administration have made millions of dollars through the alien smuggling rackets. An emerging problem is that some officials in President -elect Moscoso's Arnulfo Party have been either involved or privy to the alien smuggling system. It is essential that U.S. officials discuss this matter with President Moscoso to deter the ongoing alien racket in her administration. The scale of alien arrivals in Panama strongly suggests that Chinese communist officials arc involved in the process, as well as the shipping companies. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX SECTION BLACKED OUT FOR NATIONAL XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SECURITY REASONS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Hutchison Whampoa and Li Ka Shing's ties to the communist Chinese government: The Chinese Hong Kong company that was awarded the 25 year lease of the Canal's ports, Hutchison Whampoa, through its HIT subsidiary or Panama Ports Company, has substantial links to the Chinese communist government and the People's Liberation Army in its worldwide operations. The Panama Ports Company is 10 percent owned by China Resources Enterprise [CRE], which is the commercial arm of China's Ministry of Trade and Economic Co-operation [MOFTEC]. In its investigation into China's attempts to influence the 1996 U.S. presidential campaign, the U.S. Senate Government Affairs Committee identified CRE as a conduit for "espionage - economic, political and military - for China." Committee Chairman, Senator Fred Thompson said that CRE has "geopolitical purposes. Kind of like a smiling tiger; it might look friendly, but its very dangerous." The Senate Committee also revealed that Hutchison Whampoa's subsidiary, HIT has business ventures with the China Ocean Shipping Company, COSCO, which is owned by the People's Liberation Army. COSCO has been criticized for shipping Chinese missiles, missile components jet fighters and other weapons technologies to nations such as Libya, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. In 1996, the U.S. Customs Service seized a shipment of 2,000 automatic weapons aboard a COSCO ship at the pot of Oakland, California. The man identified as the arms dealer, Wang Jun, is the head of China's Polytechnologies Company, the international outlet for Chinese weapons sales. Jun also sits on the Board of CITIC, the China International Trust and Investment Corporation, the chief investment arm of the Chinese central government. It is also the bank of the People's Liberation Army, providing financing for Chinese Army weapons sales and for the purchase of Western technology. Jun's fellow CITIC Board member is Mr. Li Ka Shing, chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. Li Ka Shing who has profound ties to the Beijing regime. Li has invested more than a billion dollars in China and owns most of the dock space in Hong Kong. In an exclusive deal with the People's Republic of China's communist government, Li has the right of first refusal over all PRC ports south of the Yangtze river, which involves a close working relationship with the Chinese military and businesses controlled by the People's Liberation Army. Li has served as a middle man for PLA business dealings with the West. For example, Li financed several satellite deals between the U.S. Hughes Corporation and China Hong Kong Satellite (CHINASAT), a company owned by the People's Liberation Army. In 1997, Li Ka Shing and the Chinese Navy nearly obtained four huge roll-on/roll-off container ships, which can be used for transporting military cargo, in a deal that would have been financed by U.S. taxpayers. A June 1997 Rand report, "Chinese Military Commerce and U.S., National Security," stated, "Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong, controlled by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka Shing, is also negotiating for PLA wireless system contracts, which would build upon his equity interest in Poly-owned Yangpu Land Development Company, which is building infrastructure on China's Hainan Island." In 1998, Li Ka Shing attempted to issue $2 billion in bonds, through his Hutchison company, in the United States. According to the Dow Jones Newswire, Hutchison revealed that 50 percent of the bonds would be used through a subsidiary known as Chung Kiu Communications Ltd., which had signed agreements to provide cellular services and equipment to joint ventures between the People's Liberation Army and the Chinese Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Panama's Controversial Law Number 5: The port business in Panama has both commercial and strategic importance. With its strength, Hutchison Whampoa is becoming the dominant force in Panama. Hutchison, through its operations in Hong Kong, will control the movement of merchandise From Japan, Korea and other Asian exporters headed for the U.S. and Europe. In addition, under the quietly implemented and controversial Panamanian Law Number 5 that was secretly implemented by the Balladarcs regime, the Chinese Hutchison Whampoa company has the right of first refusal on other Canal facilities, including former strategic facilities, including former U .S. bases, such as the Rodman Naval Station port. Some of the measures harmful to U.S. security and economic interests under Law Number 5, include: Article 2.1 grants Hutchison Whampoa "first option" to take over the ports at Rodman Naval Station. U.S. warships could be shut out. Article 2.8 authorizes Hutchison Whampoa to "transfer contract rights" to any third party "registered" in Panama, This could be Cuba, Iraq, Iran or Libya or another country who is hostile to the United States. Article 2.12a, grants Hutchison Whampoa priority to all piers, including private piers, at Balboa and Cristobal, plus an operating area at Albrook Air Force Station. Article 2. 12i, guarantees Hutchison Whampoa the "right" to designate their own Canal pilots, change the rules for boarding vessels and add additional pilots - if clients claim dissatisfaction.

Amazon shipped my copy of the 2009 Baseball Prospectus over the weekend. When it arrives, I'll say farewell to my wife for about 10 days and devour the miles of agate text like a snake eating a pig. Then, I'll put it aside until around this time next year, when I'll read it again -- this time enjoying the dramatic irony of expired predictions.
So here are some choice Angels projections from the 2008 Prospectus, in three divisions: The Holy Cow They Nailed It division, the Don't Bring Those Whack Projections Into My House division, and the Reply Hazy, Try Again division.
Holy Cow They Nailed It
• Francisco Rodriguez
"Rodriguez will eventually hold the career saves record, and given the Angels' run context most years, he may get a shot at Bobby Thigpen's single-season mark of 57."
• Jered Weaver
Projected: 11-9, 4.32 ERA
Actual: 11-10, 4.33 ERA
• Garret Anderson
Projected: .279/.321/.440, 16 homers, 80 RBI
Actual: .293/.325/.433, 15 homers, 84 RBI
• Vladimir Guerrrero
Projected: .310/.370/.495, 21 homers, 99 RBI
Actual: .303/.365/.521, 27 homer, 91 RBI
"He's just 32 years old, and his skills at the plate are completely intact, so the question is ... what the next phase of his career will look like. Our guess is 1970s Frank Robinson, with fewer walks and more longevity."
• John Lackey
Projected: 3.77 ERA, 13-9
Actual: 3.75 ERA, 12-5

Finding Justice In Iraq
by Gregory Paw
Spring 2006, Vol. 69, No. 1
I recently lived and worked in Baghdad for nearly eleven months, assisting the Iraqis in preparing criminal cases against Saddam Hussein and his inner leadership circle. Despite enormous challenges, our team of lawyers and investigators helped the Iraqis bring the first criminal case against Hussein and address the long-term issues they will face in bringing justice to their nation. Im proud to have played a part in this process and to have used my experience from prosecuting federal criminal cases in Philadelphia to help the Iraqi people.
I served as deputy chief of the Regime Crime Liaison Office (RCLO). Finding that prosecution of the former Iraqi leaders furthered our national security interests, President Bush established the RCLO to assist the Iraqis in this historic task. The Iraqi interim government already had established the Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) to investigate and prosecute these crimes. The RCLO would assist the IST in these tasks and provide knowledge and training to the Iraqis.
Gregory Kehoe, a former federal prosecutor from Florida, served as the first RCLO chief. Kehoe and I had worked together as counsel to a Congressional investigation several years ago and became quick friends. He is a gifted lawyer, but never lost touch with his origins as the son of a New York City cop. His vocabulary often proved colorful and, more than once, his direct manner startled the staid diplomatic corps at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. But Kehoe also has an amazing ability to befriend those he encounters. He seemed to have pals everywhere we traveled.
Kehoe asked me to join him as his deputy, but later joked that he had omitted many facts during his recruiting pitch. The truth is that no one could have predicted how dynamic events in Iraq would be. In fact, only one day after I agreed to join Kehoe, a major escalation of violence against western forces in Fallujah began. Things would only get worse once we arrived in Iraq. Despite these issues, not once did I regret the decision to join Kehoes team.
I arrived in Baghdad in May 2004 and began work with virtually no assets or road map for accomplishing our tasks. The return of sovereignty to the Iraqis was to take place in just weeks, and our first job was readying charging documents against Hussein and other high-ranking detainees. This fast-paced project and an early fact-finding trip to the Kurdish region in northern Iraq provided an opportunity to take stock of the available evidence. The assessment left us in awe of both the acts Hussein had committed and the enormity of the work we faced.
We also began to make contacts on the IST. This is how I met Raad Juhi, an IST investigative judge and perhaps the bravest man I know. I came to learn that Juhi had strong and wise instincts--something that would serve him well in the coming months. While only 34 years old, he nonetheless has significant experience investigating complex cases. Juhi became something of a thorn in Saddam Husseins side even before the dictators overthrow as he investigated corruption in the closing days of Husseins regime.
Juhi and I bonded instantly. As we shared tales from our work investigating corruption, we found we had walked common ground. The judge and his family loved playing host to our staff, and we shared long meals of Iraqi specialties such as masgoof (a grilled river fish). We even broke the Ramadan fast as part of his family.
The Crimes of the Anfal Campaign
In connection with the IST, our staff investigated several major crimes under Saddam Husseins regime. Perhaps the largest, in terms of number of victims, was the Anfal of the late 1980s. The Anfalfrom the Koran meaning the spoilsinvolved military campaigns against civilians in thousands of tiny mountain villages in the Kurdish region. Husseins forces rounded up men, women and children in these villages and forced them into resettlement camps and terrible prisons miles from home. More than 180,000 victims were murdered and left in remote mass graves.
One of our most difficult tasks involved exhuming some of these mass graves. Our first project, at Hatra in the Ninawa Province in northwestern Iraq, unearthed a killing field holding as many as twelve mass graves. We conducted thorough forensic exhumations of two of these graves. One contained almost 200 women and children, all killed with single gun wounds to the head. The other contained about 180 men, bound together at the wrists and raked down with automatic weapon fire. The images still haunt me.
The graves also held many identification cards and artifacts buried with the bodies. These cards proved invaluable, giving the victims names and faces. We planned to take the cards back to villages and determine how the victims disappeared. We could not imagine what awaited us on these trips.
Many of the victims were from villages near the beautiful Dokan Lake. These villages cannot be found on maps; they simply are too small, amounting to nothing more than a cluster of families. When we traveled to these villages, we saw a life not of this century. The mud shacks built into the mountain sides had no running water, much less electricity or telephone. Life revolved around a communal well and small mosque. In fact, when Husseins forces attacked villages, they often first destroyed the mosques, signaling that the locals would have no reason for returning. Thanks to the identification cards, we found family members of many victims. These members told us how, during the Anfal, people would be herded to relocation centers, while others would simply disappear. We managed to put together a tremendous evidence book against Saddam Hussein including eyewitnesses to his murderous ways.
I felt significantly safer in the Kurdish region than in the rest of Iraq, and trips there presented chances to enjoy their culture. The Kurds welcomed us with open arms. Children would approach us with sweets and gifts as we walked through the colorful markets of the two leading Kurdish cities. We saw beautiful carpets, every type of nut and date, lovely fruit carts filled with countless colors, and clothes ranging in style from the latest western wear to traditional Kurdish fashion. We saw people getting haircuts, people having suits pressed and teenagers teasing each other. It was great to see because it represented what all of Iraq could be like some future day. Considering the difficult times the Kurdish region experienced in the not-so-distant past, we knew the dream of a peaceful and democratic society could become real if given the right conditions. Of course, none of us labored under the illusion that this transition would be easy or quick, but life in the north gave us hope and provided very nice memories of time in that area.
A Regime of Terror
The first trial that Saddam Hussein faces arises from events in Ad-Dujayl, a small town sixty miles north of Baghdad, where a political party opposed to Hussein had flourished. In July 1982, a small group of them tried to kill Hussein as he passed through town. The attempt failed, but a shaken Hussein retaliated with a rampage against the town and its residents. Hussein used the force of his internal intelligence agency (then run by his half-brother) to round up the towns men, woman and children. School children were removed from classes; even pregnant woman were led away. Many were killed on the spot, and at least 140 others later were executed without trial. Still more spent years in dank prisons without even a hearing. Husseins forces also leveled large parts of the village and chopped down prized local date trees, eliminating the possibility of a harvest for years to come. This damage is visible still today. Hussein even ordered Ad-Dujayl removed from maps, changing its name to Al FarasThe Horsemana favorite image Hussein held of himself.
We initially had few leads in investigating these events; then we received a great break. An experienced prosecutor from the Manhattan District Attorneys Office happened to be a captain in an Army reserve unit stationed near Ad-Dujayl. While meeting townspeople, this prosecutor found witnesses to Husseins crimes there. A chance lunch conversation between one of our lawyers and a military officer familiar with our work brought us in contact with a treasure trove of evidence. We soon had IST investigators in Ad-Dujayl meeting with these witnesses.
Scores of brave people in Ad-Dujayl were willing to talk with us, despite the risks these meetings carried. Because the town lies in the heart of the Sunni triangle, our work there was dangerous for our staff as well. We were guarded by the prosecutors men, a colorful group of New Yorkers who told us about missing their favorite coffee shops in Bedford-Styvestant and longing to see their families at the holidays. One man kept a small calendar by his armored vehicles door, with a smudge through each day spent in Iraq. I always felt safe under their care and made sure they knew their role was critical to our mission.
Accomplishing even simple tasks in Iraq presented amazing complexity. A drive of a few miles to see a witness could require days of planning, the presence of heavily armored military escorts and coordination of many other support elements. Longer missions, involving Blackhawk helicopters flying only a few feet above the desert, required even more effort. We faced mountains of documents, mostly hand-written in Arabic and often scattered on floors of bombed-out buildings. But most frightening were the frequent attacks against our staff. Rockets bearing explosives came into our compound nearly every day. One of our lawyers, despite having been hit with shrapnel, bravely carried three injured Iraqis to safety during a mortar fight. Suicide bombers targeted our convoys. Indeed, our mass grave team was caught in a well-planned ambush, but fortunately escaped without serious injury. We all were armed and armored.
Despite these obstacles, we found ways to do our work. The IST brought criminal charges within a year of its inceptiona remarkable feat in international law and considering the ISTs working conditions. And we had some incredible experiences, such as watching a group of Kurds parade the American flag onto a stage during a rally; standing by IST officials as they learned to stake independence in the Iraqi government; meeting countless victims of crimes who put aside fear so as to tell us their amazing survival stories; and, finally, seeing the pride of Iraqis showing us their fingers, marked with indelible purple ink after participating in democratic elections for the first time in their lives.
I give my heartfelt thanks to U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan, who strongly encouraged me to accept this unique opportunity, and to my colleagues at the U.S. Attorneys Office who picked up my work in my absence. Finally, thanks to my wife and daughters, whose brave sacrifices allowed me to take on this task. It was an amazing experience I will never forget.

A Race Car Becomes a Vehicle to Fight Older Adult Hunger
See how the paint schemes for the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet changed through the 2011 season and beyond
New Design Of 2013 No. 24 Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet
In December 2012, AARP Foundation announced the release of the design of the 2013 No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet SS, driven by four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon.
Richard McLaren
Primary Paint Scheme For The 2011 Race Season
2011 was Drive to End Hunger's first season as a No. 24 primary sponsor. This is the paint scheme that launched our race program, and the effort to make millions of Americans aware of older adult hunger.
Russell LaBounty/Autostock
Chase Credit Card Services Donates to the Cause
AARP Visa Card from Chase became a co-primary paint sponsor in 2011. By sharing with Drive to End Hunger $0.03 from each purchase made using an AARP Visa Card and by donating $1 from each new card account opened, Chase Bank USA N.A. contributed nearly $2 million during the year. That's the estimated equivalent of 750,000 meals for adults over 50.
Russell LaBounty/Autostock
Primary Paint Scheme for the 2012 Race Season
The change was subtle, but the 2012 look for No. 24 featured a slight adjustment in placement of the AARP logo on the quarter panel, and a larger logo and position shift on the hood.
Russell LaBounty/Autostock
The 2012 TV Panel for No. 24
No. 24 doesn't just build awareness for older adult hunger; it underscores our ongoing fundraising effort to support short and long term hunger solutions. Every "Hunger" text to 50555 yields a $10 donation to Drive to End Hunger.
Brian Czobat/Autostock
No. 24 Promotes a Huge Meal Packaging Event
At the May , 2012, race at Speedway, Darlington, SC, No. 24 was specially painted to champion the Charlotte 1 Million, a May 24-25 event in Charlotte, NC, at which nutritious meals were packaged by thousands of volunteers in the Charlotte Convention Center to help feed older adults across the state (which ranks 7th hungriest) who struggle to meet their daily food requirements. The result? One million meals donated.
Nigel Kincade/Autostock
Chase Credit Card Services Continues Its Support
No. 24 raced five times in the 2012 season with the AARP Visa Card from Chase as our co-primary paint sponsor. During the year, Chase Bank USA N.A. again made donations as it had in 2011, up to a maximum of $2 million. All donations supported Drive to End Hunger.
Russell LaBounty/Autostock
Zynga's Farmville Takes to the Track
Zynga and its Farmville social networking Facebook game, joined Drive to End Hunger in 2012. Farmville provided its players with opportunities to purchase virtual goods to boost their scores and improve their harvests while helping Drive to End Hunger. Proceeds from the sale of the in-game goods were donated to Drive to End Hunger, and Farmville co-sponsored No. 24 in the August 25 race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Total donations over the course of 12 days exceeded $87,500.

Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Join the Battle
Leonardo, the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was featured on the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet at the race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 13, 2012. Off the track, AARP and AARP Foundation are teaming up with Nickelodeon's "Helping and Leading Others" program to publicize and support the Drive to End Hunger. Nickelodeon's support will include a national PSA airing on Nickelodeon channels to reach kids, parents and grandparents.
Jeff Gordon, Spokesperson, Caps Our Awareness Efforts
In his two racing seasons as a spokesperson for Drive to End Hunger, Jeff Gordon has become an informed and articulate ally in the fight against older adult hunger. His work has helped to broaden awareness of the issue and has drawn individual and corporate support to the cause. We look forward to continuing our work with Jeff in the years ahead.
Brian Czobat/Autostock
Starting with the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, AARP and AARP Foundation turned to Hendrick Motorsports' No. 24 Chevrolet and four-time Cup champion driver Jeff Gordon to help build awareness for its initiatives to address the cause of older adult hunger. With Jeff on board, our campaign became Drive to End Hunger and we started reaching race fans and others, by the millions. This gallery vividly shows how AARP and AARP Foundation have promoted this urgent cause, and how leading corporations have joined us in the effort.
Nearly 9 million Americans age 50 and over are at risk for hunger every day. Learn what we're doing to raise awareness about the problem of senior hunger, build philanthropic support and develop long-term, sustainable solutions. Read

Maybe they are misunderstood. Maybe they had a a little too much blunts and Henny in the studio. Maybe some chick got them sprung. Who knows! Step your game up. Millions are listening.
Here is a list of 25 lyrical missteps that made your favorite rappers wish they could go back in time and rewrite their rhymes:
25. "Verse number 2 do the damn thang keeps on my neck pocket's full of Ben Franks."
Yung Joc, "It's Goin' Down."
Album: New Joc City
A classic case of saying…absolutely nothing.
24. "There's no need to lie folk, Why you sleepin' wit ya eyes closed?"
Timbaland, "Get on the Bus"
Album: Why Do Fools Fall in Love (Soundtrack)
Well, Tim, if I had to endure your mediocre rhymes all the time I'd definitely sleep with my eyes, ears, and nose closed as well.
23. "I can double my density from three-sixty degrees to seven-twenty instantly."
Canibus, "Funk Master Flex Freestyle"
Obviously, Canibus slept through 10th grade when they went over units of measurement.
22."Thirty-eight revolve like the sun round the Earth."
Jay-Z, "It's Hot"
Album: Volume 3: Life and Times of S.Carter
And, Jay-Z skipped his Geography class.
21. "N****s in the Bronx call me Lex cause I push a Lex, and I rock a Rolex and I lounge on Lex', and I love sex."
Peter Gunz, "Deja Vu: Uptown Baby"
Album: Make It Reign
What are the odds that Cory Gunz ghostwrote this for his dad at age 9?
20. "Never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I'm slippin."
Dr. Dre, "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang"
Album: The Chronic
Aren't we glad that he eventually decided to hire some ghostwriters?
19. "When it's hot I'm duckin' them people with my firearm Look I be straight thuggin."
Turk, "Trife Livin"
Album: Young and Thuggin'
If he's the one with the firearm, why's he duckin'?
18."My paragraph alone is worth five mics (uh-huh) A twelve song LP, that's thirty-six mics (uh-huh)"
Redman "5 Boroughs"
Album: The Corruptor Soundtrack
Apparently, Redman's calculator is miles ahead of the game.
17. Don't try to treat me like I ain't famous My apologies, are you into astrology Cause I'm, I'm tryin to make it to Uranus
Kanye West, "Gettin' It In"
Album: Kiss of Death
Oh I get it: there's Libra, Sagittarius, Scorpio, and then Uranus. And you say Kanye doesn't deserve to have his image displayed next to the word 'genius' in Webster's Dictionary?
16."Hood n***a from Bankhead, I stay by Grandma Nana I lay by my banana, dumpin' and punkin' monkeys."
Young Dro, "Shoulder Lean"
With all the money T.I. makes from music and movies, you'd think he would at least invest in a decent ghostwriter for his sidekick.
15."When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets."
LFO, "Summer Girls"
Cut them some slack. These guys graduated from the prestigious Vanilla Ice Institute of Hip-Hop and decided to try their hands at random word association.
14. "Sometime y'all get crimey crimey, grimy grimy But those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny."
Cam'Ron, "5 Boroughs"
Album: The Corruptor Soundtrack
Someone should have informed Cam that this choppy choppy rhyme thing is silly silly.
13."I'm hungry for cheese like Hungry, Hungry Hippo."
Project Pat ("Ballers")
Album: Ghetty Green
Extra points for giving us one of the worst songs ever known to man.
12."If you don't bring back my m****f*****n money or my m***f****n dope, you can forget about Christmas n***a, cause you ain't gon even see New Years."
Master P ("Do You Know") In Master P's universe, New Year comes right before Christmas.
11."It's like fee, fie, foe, fum, I smell the blood of a jealous a*s punk."
Prodigy ("Click Clack")
Album: Blood Money
No longer inspired by hardcore hip-hop, Prodigy turns to nursery rhymes for some equally uninspiring lyrics.
10."First family will gradually lift that a*s up like gravity."
Lil' Fame (of M.O.P.) ("Half and Half")
Sire Isaac Newton must be turning in his grave right now.
9."I like the way ya ass move to the beat You a freak, that's somethin' you can be."
J-Kwon ("Show Your A**")
Album: Hood Hop
You see, kids, that's another reason why you should stay in school.
8. "D.D.T. the b**ch, I can go for some hours. Let Parlae hit, together we like twin towers."
Pimpin ("Freaky as She Wanna Be")
Album: On Top of Our Game
A terribly humorless and tasteless joke. Enough said.
7."I like them black, white, Puerto Rican, or Haitian Like Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian."
Chingy ("Balla Baby")
Album: Powerballin'
As far as Chingy's concerned, Asian is a nationality damnit.
6."I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho."
50 Cent ("Candy Shop")
Album: The Massacre
Well, what do you expect from an artist whose stage moniker in itself constitutes a grammatical mishap?
5."Thirty-two grams raw, chop it in half, get sixteen, double it times three. We got forty-eight, which mean a whole lot of cream Divide the profit by four, subtract it by eight We back to sixteen…"
Foxy Brown ("Affirmative Action")
Album: It Was Written
This holds the world record for worst mathematics on a song.
4."Got a Bill in my mouth like I'm Hillary Rodham."
Ali G (Grillz)
Album: Sweat/Suit
No comments.
3."Young, black, and famous, with money hanging out the anus."
Mase ("Can't Nobody Hold Me Down")
Album: No Way Out
Now, that's the type of money I definitely wouldn't want to touch before breakfast.
2."I watch my back when I'm walkin, I watch my mouth when I'm talking. My glock cocked when I'm crawling."
Mike Jones ("Scandalous H**s")
Album: Who is MIke Jones?
What's next? I watch my ears when I'm hearing, I watch my sight when I'm seeing?
1. Now you know that I'm the Queen of Miami. All that loud talkin, lyin, save that sh*t for your mammy. Sounds like "blah, blah blah, blah bla blah-blah," I'm like uh-huh (uh-huh) okay (okay), Whassup (whassup) SHUT UP!"
Trina ("Here We Go")
Album: Glamorest Life
Actual lyrics.

Willis Gallery at Kent Campus Center
The Kent Center gallery will feature a variety of art throughout the year. This includes Simpson student art, works by Simpson art faculty, and occasionally art from artists outside the campus.
American Panorama
By David Richmond
Friday, April 4-Friday, May 23
Opening Reception: April 10, 5 PM to 6 PM.
Americana Panorama
This body of art is largely about unique sights that you would find along the roadsides of the Midwestern United States of America. Most of these places that I have recorded as digital photographic images are depictions of an unusual organization of materials that are specifically placed together that form an American visual scene. The photographs that I am using in this show are all panoramic images that I create using digital imaging software. Each of these panoramic photographs was made of several images taken of the scene. I am slightly moving the picture plane by shifting the view through my camera from one side of the scene to the other. I will then use the photographic software to stich the several images together into one photographic image. The result is a completely fabricated image that represents the scene that I am depicting.
These images that I am creating are also visual representations of random thoughts that become cohesive to form an idea or a story These images are also depicting my inner thoughts or commentary about that space and reflect what I am thinking in that time. In this way I am recording my impressions of these scenes through the visual image rather than written imagery.
As a result of this photographic and invented story manipulation process, I am fabricating and creating visual inferences that are fanciful creations.

The widespread use of computers nowadays has lead to another problem for many people and that is which computer cable do I need to connect my new printer, monitor, plus other devices to it. This problem is mostly due to the wide and varied things that you can now do with your PC, whether a desktop or laptop.
Of course besides using Computer Cables, there are always wireless as more and more devices take up this technology, but for many security is important and while wireless has come on a lot and is perfectly secure when set-up correctly. Most people would prefer to just use computers cables to take care of there connection needs and data transfer. Computer cables are simple to use and with the latest innovations, it is easy to set them up once you have the right cable to do the job you want and to suit your equipment.
One big problem with using a computer cable, is routing it through your home or work place. So before ordering, please make sure that you know the length that you need. Also remember that tight corners can and do make a difference in cable selection, as some types are easier to bend than others. This is very important particularly in the case of computer network cables, that are used to link two or more computers together.
Due to falling costs this is no longer just the realm of offices and is easily affordable / accessible to the home user who wants to share a internet connection, printer and other devices together.
While we have tried to make the selection process of choosing the right computers cables, we realise that choosing the right cable for your needs can be confusing. Due to the vast range we carry and the variety of commonly used connections on a modern PC. If you have doubts which computer cable you need for your particular task, then please contact us and ask. Our knowledgeable staff are always there to help.

Jenkins is planning a visit 3:15 p.m. Monday at ATC Composites, 801 E. North St., Ottawa.
The tour is part of the congresswoman's effort to learn how businesses are preparing for the nation's so-called "fiscal cliff," her office said in a release. The fiscal cliff refers to the economic effects that could result from tax increases in the 2013 U.S. budget if Congress is unable to negotiate a plan before the end of 2012.
