Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, The 48 Laws of Power is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control. In the book that People magazine proclaimed "beguiling" and "fascinating," Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), others teach the value of confidence ("Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
"It's the rules for suits . . . Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust."
—New York magazine
"Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top."
—People magazine
"An heir to Machiavelli's Prince . . . gentler souls will find this book frightening, those whose moral compass is oriented solely to power will have a perfect vade mecum."
—Publishers Weekly
"Satisfyingly dense and . . . literary, with fantastic examples of genius power-game players. It's The Rules meets In Pursuit of Wow! with a degree in comparative literature."

Can somebody please take Randy Orton to a back alley and beat his ass? Please?
I haven't gone on this forum for a long time, but I swear this fucker deserves to die in a fire for the audacity that he has.
And you guys know that I wouldn't say this to be an "Orton hater" because those of you who remember me know that I used to be a HUGE Orton mark. I used to have him as my icon and all that shit, and I am completely disgusted with myself for that.
This time, I can't believe the nerve he has. Though nothing should surprise me about this bitch-ass anymore.

Only a year after the academy opened, the Weber Stake Board of Education decided it had outgrown its Second Ward facilities and moved to the Ogden Tabernacle on Washington Boulevard and 22nd Street. However church leaders then worried that, given the pressures of the Edmunds-Tucker Act passed by Congress to expunge polygamy, the tabernacle might be seized by the federal government since it was being used to house non-religious studies.

A young Cleveland Police officer was killed in a tragic car crash and a veteran of public service died of natural causes while he was also on duty.
The stories tugged at the hearts of Bradley countians who unexpectedly lost individuals in the field of law enforcement.
CPD officer Justin Maples died in May while responding to back up city and county officers.
His untimely death and funeral were documented by the Banner and other media.
Longtime constable Ira Cox died Nov. 29. Cox had 58 years invested in public service to the community — as firefighter, rescuer and law enforcement officer and an integral component involved in raising money to buy equipment credited with saving countless lives.
Cox was an advocate and began a fundraising effort to purchase the "Jaws of Life," and he was the first rescuer in Bradley County to use the tool.
He was laid to rest in December.
- Law enforcement had a busy year beginning the first day of 2012 after a fire was discovered inside a local motel room. After firefighters contained the blaze, they found the body of Harold Montgomery inside.
Montgomery, 39, had been stabbed numerous times, according to information provided by CPD's Criminal Investigation Division.
Russell Brown, 35, was eventually arrested and charged in the alleged homicide. His case has not been presented in trial as of yet.
- In November, court officials set a date for trial of a woman charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of her sons.
Natasha Moses Bates was arrested after River Bates, 3, and Leland Bates, 5, reportedly died from hyperthermia, or elevated core body temperature, in July.
"Through investigation and statements, investigators found reason to believe the boys died in a car and an autopsy ruled the cause of death to be from hyperthermia," said Bob Gault of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office following Bates' indictment by a Bradley County grand jury.
Other child neglect cases in 2012 included a woman who allegedly left her child in a car at Walmart. Cleveland Police officer Jennifer McKee charged Kellie L. Veney, 21, in September after Veney reportedly left her 5-month-old child in her car while she and a woman reported to be her mother went inside to shop.
Walmart employees found the child crying and reported the incident to police.
Two people were arrested in July at a local motel after reports of alleged drug activity. April Suzanne Gabbert, 45, and Kenneth Joseph Thacker, 46, both of Cleveland were taken into custody and eventually charged with narcotics violations and aggravated child abuse and neglect. According to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, patrol deputies for the BCSO responded to a motel in the 2500 block of Georgetown Road and found components used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
A number of robberies also occurred in 2013.
- Cleveland Police arrested a man on armed robbery charges in January after an officer reportedly confronted him regarding a disturbance at a pain management clinic. Officer Jacob Varnell took Charles Franklin Garrett, 32, into custody just a short time after he allegedly robbed the CVS drugstore located on APD 40. Garrett was reportedly seen leaving the store driving a dark-colored vehicle. According to detective Stacy Smith of the Cleveland Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, Garrett entered the store wielding a knife and demanding "all of the morphine in the pharmacy." As the pharmacist was complying with the suspect's demands, Garrett reportedly jumped across the counter and grabbed approximately 10 bottles of pain medication, including OxyContin. He then fled on foot to the parking lot where he got into a vehicle and left, according to Smith. Video security was utilized to pinpoint a possible identification of a suspect. According to Smith, Varnell recognized Garrett from the original incident. Officers went to Garrett's Dalton Pike residence. As they approached the residence, Garrett reportedly attempted to flee. Varnell deployed his Taser and took Garrett into custody. Smith said the narcotics taken during the armed robbery were recovered. Garrett was charged with aggravated robbery and resisting arrest, according to Smith.
- Randall Lee McCracken, 35, was arrested in February and charged with aggravated robbery after being established as the suspect in the robbery of the BI-LO Pharmacy in the Ocoee Crossing complex. According to Evie West, information officer for Cleveland Police Department, a call was received by 911 dispatchers stating the pharmacy inside the store had been robbed by a man who was possibly armed; however, he never produced a weapon.
- An alleged lone robber also entered Bank of Cleveland located on Perimeter Drive in March and took an undisclosed amount of cash.
Officials with Cleveland Police Department and other law enforcement agencies searched for the suspect after the reported robbery. He was described as being 6 feet tall, weighing 180 to 250 pounds and wearing a ski mask, hooded jacket and dark pants.
FBI, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and others aided in the search for the suspect.
- Cleveland Police and the FBI are investigating a December bank robbery at the FSG Bank located on Keith Street at the Village Green. According to reports, the alleged robber wore a brightly colored outfit.
The lone robber entered the bank and demanded money, according to Evie West, information officer for Cleveland Police Department.
- A day-care center and some area schools were locked down on a late Wednesday afternoon in December after an armed robber left a store on foot, headed in the direction of the schools.
A black male dressed in dark clothing with his face painted white entered the Mr. Zip location on North Lee Highway, wielding a knife.
According to reports, he demanded money from the store's clerk, then left on foot. He escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber was described as wearing a dark green sweatshirt and dark pants. Authorities also said he had a dreadlocks hairstyle.
- David Keith Daugherty, 41, entered a guilty plea to first-degree murder in Bradley County Criminal Court in August. He was sentenced to life in prison. Daugherty appeared before Judge Carroll Ross in the strangulation death of his wife, Elizabeth Annette Carney, at the couple's 6th Street home on July 12. Carney's mother had not been able to reach her by phone and as deputies responded to a missing persons investigation, family members found Carney's body stuffed in a converted closet space inside the couple's home. The investigators' report indicated Daugherty choked Carney with his arm. After a short while, he noticed she wasn't dead and he then used a ligature to kill her, according to reports. Cindy LeCroy-Schemel of the District Attorney General's Office also noted Daugherty confessed to Swain County, N.C., and Bradley County detectives he had killed his wife sometime after midnight July 8, then fled to North Carolina where he was taken into custody after he reportedly attempted to rob and assault a woman at a motel. According to Tennessee Department of Corrections information provided by Assistant District Attorney General Stephen Hatchett, Daugherty had a prior first-degree murder charge reduced to voluntary manslaughter after a conviction in 1991 for the murder of Larry McKinney the previous year. Daugherty's criminal history includes convictions for robbery, assault and thefts, according to TDOC reports.
- A double-homicide trial was delayed until 2013 after the defense counsel asked for an evidentiary ruling from the Criminal Court of Appeals.
Randy Rogers is representing Aaron Lawson who is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the April 2011 shooting deaths of Charles "Eddie" and Debbie Phillips.
- Tiffany Isaza who was convicted in the vehicular homicide of Dustin Ledford's death in 2010, was denied parole earlier this year.
Isaza had served only two years of a 10-year sentence.
Kim and Danny Ledford traveled to Nashville recently to argue against the release of Isaza, who was convicted in their son Dustin's death.
Isaza was granted the parole hearing in September.
Isaza was imprisoned in Nashville following her 2010 conviction for vehicular homicide and child endangerment in connection with the APD 40 crash that killed Ledford. She had also left her small children at home unattended. Isaza had alcohol and methamphetamine in her system at the time of the head-on collision. She left her two small children at home and drove toward Cleveland on APD 40. She was traveling on the bypass in the wrong direction. In the darkness, Dustin Ledford was traveling east on APD 40 when Isaza's vehicle collided with his. Dustin Ledford died a short time later and Isaza was severely injured.
"We will continue to work over the next two years on 'Dustin's Law,'" Kim Ledford said, regarding stiffer penalties for suspected drunk drivers.
- Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to kick off a campaign in July for the state's "No-Refusal" law.
Two DUI arrests were made in Bradley County during a July 4 holiday weekend blitz in which the THP and local law enforcement performed the state's first-ever "No Refusal" operation. Five counties participated. Bruce Cantrelle, an officer with the city of Charleston was the first to utilize the new law. Cleveland Police Department officer Tyler Pride also used the law to force a blood draw from a suspected DUI offender, whether by consent or search warrant.
The campaign was a coordinated effort by THP, the Governor's Highway Safety Office, local district attorneys, and various local and state law enforcement agencies. This special enforcement was effective in selected counties where impaired driving and fatal crashes have increased this year, specifically Anderson, Bradley, Davidson, Maury and Warren counties. State and local officials conducted sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols in those counties as well as in other parts of the state, according to information provided by the THP. The "No Refusal" law, enacted this year by the General Assembly, allows law enforcement to seek search warrants for blood samples in cases involving suspected impaired drivers. Previously, a suspected impaired driver could refuse a blood alcohol content test and face charges of violating the implied consent law. This new law enables law enforcement to legally obtain blood samples by working with prosecutors and judges throughout the state during the warrant acquisition process.
- Donnie Brantley failed to show up in court to claim the property he once shared with his wife.
Marsha Brantley's family took possession of the house located in Benwood.
Brantley was reported missing in 2009, and her heirs were able to obtain possession of the home she lived in prior to her disappearance.
Investigators also took the opportunity to search for additional evidence, hoping to find clues to her disappearance.
Attorney James Logan represented heirs and members of Marsha Brantley's family. In a twist of events, Logan filed a civil complaint for declaratory judgment in July for the family to take possession of the house where Marsha and Donnie had lived in the Benwood addition.
Marsha was 52 when she allegedly left her husband and was seeking a divorce, according to Donnie Brantley's statement to investigators.
She disappeared in early June 2009, and friends reportedly alerted authorities in the fall.
Marsha Rader Brantley was a graduate and former employee of Lee University. Her husband did not report her missing, citing that she had left him and was planning a divorce, according to information provided by the TBI. Logan filed the complaint for Brantley's family members Wills, of Greeneville, and Justis, of Clemmons, N.C.
The family cited the home had "fallen into disrepair and taxes had not been paid on the property."
Donnie Brantley reportedly abandoned the property after his wife's disappearance.
Logan's complaint stated "the defendant (Donnie Brantley) who was her husband, had and continues to embark upon a course of lies, deceit and misrepresentation." Logan's complaint also said Donnie Brantley has given inconsistent statements regarding his wife's disappearance and "... has asserted falsehoods regarding the circumstances surrounding her death and disappearance.
"The defendant has failed to maintain the real property and the power to the real property has been terminated which is Marsha Brantley's substantial asset. The property is depreciating in value because of the lack of proper maintenance," Logan said.
Donnie Brantley was later taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service on a charge of hindering a creditor over alleged lack of payment on a recreational vehicle which he reportedly attempted to keep creditors from repossessing. The vehicle was located in Georgia, according to officials and reports. Donnie Brantley was released from the Bradley County Jail after posting a $100,000 bond.
- A veteran Tennessee State trooper and members of his family were charged in September after a grand jury indicted them on various charges relating to the death of the trooper's granddaughter.
Lt. Tommie Graham, 57, was charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment in September. His wife, Deborah Louise Graham, 56, was charged with reckless endangerment.
Their daughter, Jennifer Haylee Graham, 23, was charged with reckless endangerment and Elizabeth Hayden Graham, 25, (the child's aunt) was also charged with reckless endangerment.
Kydaylynn Robinson, 3, reportedly found a .45 caliber handgun at the Graham home and accidentally shot herself, according to reports.
- A number of local law enforcement agencies across the state were involved in an alleged bomb hoax which forced officials to evacuate county and federal courthouses recently.
The Bradley County Courthouse was one of those buildings.
The threat was apparently part of a wave of such activity across the state.
Tennessee Emergency Management Agency officials said 30 courthouses and government buildings in the state received what they think was a threat which was automatically generated.
According to Dean Flener of TEMA's information office, nine West Tennessee counties, seven Middle Tennessee counties and 14 East Tennessee county courthouses were affected.
The complete list of counties affected included Benton, Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Decatur, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Shelby, Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Franklin, Giles, Anderson, Bledsoe, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Cumberland, Fentress, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hamilton and Hancock, according to information from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
- The Bradley County Sheriff's Office was successful in collecting more than 200 pounds of unused, unneeded narcotic drugs from area residents.
BCSO again served as the collection point for the program made possible by a partnership between the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the GRAAB Coalition, or Going Respectively Against Addictive Behaviors.
The project yielded 231.5 pounds of unused, out-of-date medications, according to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for BCSO.
"Drug Take Back week provides an opportunity for cleaning out the medicine cabinet," Gault said.
The unused drugs are collected at the Sheriff's Office, then documented and loaded onto a trailer provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
They are then transferred to an undisclosed location for proper disposal.
Gault said DEA information revealed 20 agencies in North Georgia and Southeast Tennessee collected 2,000 pounds of drugs while the entire state of Tennessee collected approximately 7,000 pounds.
If unused drugs are simply flushed in a toilet or poured down a drain, they can leach into the water table and pose environmental concerns.
Another Drug Take Back event is being planned this spring.
- Work resumed in October at the Wacker Polysilicon North America construction site near Charleston, following a four-day shutdown to allow agencies time to complete an investigation into an accident that took the lives of two contract employees.
The pair died after falling from a tower at the work site, prompting an investigation by Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials.
Hugo Mendoza, 45, of Florida and Luis Oachoa, 31, died after it was reported they had fallen from a tower under construction. The men worked for Baker Concrete Construction which is based in Ohio, but has several operations offices across the U.S.
According to early reports from Bradley County 911 and emergency officials who were on the scene, both men fell. It was reported that scaffolding had collapsed.
Mendoza and Oachoa fell approximately 100 feet.
- A Bradley County deputy came up on an unusual discovery in late October after he responded to an area in East Cleveland.
"It's been a while since we busted up a still," said Sheriff Jim Ruth.
Deputy Doug Boucher was dispatched to the area where shots were reportedly fired.
As he rolled up to a home on 15th Street, Boucher noticed several people at the address. All appeared to have been consuming alcohol and when questioned regarding the gunshots, individuals reportedly admitted to firing weapons. The homeowner invited Boucher into his house and led him to a bedroom where the deputy noticed suspected marijuana, drug paraphernalia, the weapons and two 5-gallon glass jugs and another 1-gallon jug which was filled with a clear liquid, according to his report.
He told the deputy it was "'Everclear' with flavoring" inside the jug.
Everclear is an unflavored distilled beverage.
According to the report, several pieces of copper tubing and stainless steel implements were located.
As Boucher continued his investigation, he walked to a porch at the rear of the house and found an alleged moonshine still.
Further investigation revealed two 10-gallon containers of fermenting corn mash, according to Boucher.
Ruth said the last moonshine still bust he could recall in Bradley County was in the 1970s.
- A Bradley County teacher was freed on bond after being arrested on an indictment of sexual battery by an authority figure.
Christie N. David, 32, a teacher at Walker Valley High School, was charged after allegations she was "having an inappropriate relationship with a male, a 15 year-old former student," said Bob Gault of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
David's case is still pending in Bradley County Criminal Court.

Get your gloves on!
Two thousand bulbs being planted in Scotland today! Good luck Scotland and please wrap up warm as the temperature is a chilly 3 or 4 degrees! Temperatures across the UK have fallen dramatically today making it feel very much like winter.
Welsh and English schools are finishing up for half term and all the schools are preparing for recording their 1st weather records on the 5th of November!
Click here for info on keeping weather records
Click here to ensure fair test when planting your bulbs
Please take a look at these lovely pics sent in by Stanford in the Vale Primary School.
Many thanks

A fair-test for forty five thousand fingers!
Four and a half thousand school scientists across England and Wales planted bulbs for a climate investigation being run by Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales.
Each pupil planted their bulbs and followed simple methodology to ensure a fair test. Before planting, they learned how to care for bulbs and completed adoption certificates as a promise to care for their bulbs.
This is just the beggining for this years participants who will be recording flowering times and weather conditions every week until the end of March.
I visited St Joseph's school in Penarth to see how they were getting along and was amazed by how excited and involved in the project they were. Mrs Dunstan has done a great job working with the class to create a great display about the project. On questioning, it was clear that the class knew they were helping with a larger experiment and what it was about.
I was delighted to hear a Yr.3 pupil question "Is it a fair-test if all Scottish schools are planting a week later?" It showed that she was really thinking about the logistics of this large scale study. I explained that the Scottish schools had to plant on another date because their holiday dates are quite different to those in England and Wales and that we would look at the Scottish data separately as a result. After our discussion we went outside to do the planting - see my pictures.
Meanwhile in West Wales, Stepaside School were also busy planting. Here are pictures of the Yr.3 pupils involved this year.
If any other schools have any images they would like to share please send them to me.
Good luck with the planting this week in Scotland - I hope it stays dry!
Many Thanks

Solving crimes, exploring trees and using your mobile phone - what does this have to do with numeracy?
Teachers descended on the National Museum Cardiff last weekend to take part in workshops and talks aimed at engaging pupils with numeracy in a fun and creative way.
Prof Chris Budd, BathUniversity, and Rob Eastaway, Maths Inspiration, gave extremely interesting and lively talks covering maths in the modern world, including how google works, and ways of being creative with maths.
The workshops featured teachers programming their own computer games (Technocamps), becoming maths detectives to solve a crime (Techniquest), finding out how technology works (CardiffMetropolitanUniversity), exploring maths in nature (Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales), and discovering ideas for fun and stimulating games (TES Science).
This year's conference is a partnership between The Association for Science Education Cymru and Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales. It has been running for the past 4 years and draws in teachers from Wales and England (and even Australia this year!).
Keep your eyes peeled for next year's conference – we hope to see you then!
Thank you to everyone who made this year's a success!
Craftivism at the Food Festival
Did you come to our food festival in September? I hope so as it was such a great event - look out for it next year if you didn't make it.
This summer the Craftivist Collective launched a jamming and sewing project which you can read all about right here and I thought that would fit in perfectly with the food festival, so that's what we did!
The idea is that you make some tomato jam (I am proud to say that I made some all by myself and it tasted good too) following a recipe from an amazing lady called Christine who lives in Africa. Then you embroider a message on a fabric jam lid - maybe something like 'if you don't grow, you don't change' or anything to do with food and global food issues. After you have embroidred your message, pop it on the top, secure it with ribbon and give your pretty jar of jam away! I think the giving it away is the most important part as you are sharing the message, you could give it to your MP or your local shop if you wanted, or just pass it along to friends and family, it all helps spread the word and provides an opportunity for talking about what you eat and where your food comes from.
The project is also linked in with Oxfam and their 'Grow' campaign, and we were lucky enough in St Fagans that Louise from Oxfam was able to come along and lend a hand - she also provided lots of leaflets for further information.
What do you think about the project? did you come to our drop in session? did you make the jam and did you pass your jam along to someone else? I'd love to know!
Summer art activities
How was your summer? it was pretty busy for me!
As usual we ran the art cart in Oriel 1 everyday throughout August and our focus this year was weaving. We mainly did paper plate weaving (or circular weaving) which proved to be really popular with all ages and looks really effective too - I am thinking of doing more of it for Halloween...but in black and orange of course.
Quite a few of the museum attendants helped run the art cart this year too and they also brought different ideas and skills along with them so that there was quite a variety of activities. Elen did some drop spinning with visitors and even showed them how to make their own drop spindle, and Elle showed everyone how to make amazing woven friendship bracelets using a circular piece of card.
In July Ian and I got together to plan and run a two day art activity in the Celtic Village. We decided to make Iron Age shields out of cardboard and to get the visiting children to decorate them with typical iron age patterns using stencils or their own designs.
The activity went really well and we were lucky that it fell on two beautiful sunny days (we were outside). It's definitely an activity we'll be running again
Come September and it was back to running sessions for visiting schools, I've written about my art session called 'Looking at Buildings' so won't go on about it again... just show you some pictures of wonderful drawings instead.
Then I took two weeks off work and went on holiday to San Francisco! and now I'm back and all inspired for more arts and crafts and workshops and everything! There are a few things coming up - the big draw this saturday and next (6+13 oct 2012), a couple of craftivist things (one this sunday 7th in gwdi hw which isn't directly linked with St Fagans, and one on the 20th of October as part of the Made in Roath festival whic is), and then it will be half term and time for Halloween!
phew, happy making!

Venezuela deports suspected drug smugglers to Colombia and US, touts
anti-drug efforts
By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, September 20, 8:29 AM
CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuela deported six suspected drug traffickers
wanted in Colombia and the United States on Monday, touting the action
as proof the government is making strides in fighting smuggling.
Those deported included two accused of belonging to Colombia's largest
leftist rebel group.
They also included a U.S. citizen, Lionel Scott Harris, who is suspected
of smuggling drugs to the United States, Asia and Europe. Harris, 67,
was captured in March on Margarita Island, a popular tourist
Venezuela is a major hub for gangs that smuggle Colombian cocaine, and
U.S. officials have accused President Hugo Chavez's government of being
lax in anti-drug efforts. Last week, President Barack Obama's
administration classified Venezuela as a country that has "failed
demonstrably" to effectively fight drug trafficking.
Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami dismissed that accusation, saying the
U.S. has been spreading "pure lies" about Venezuela's counter-drug
"We're winning this battle and we're going to keep winning," El Aissami
told reporters at a later event Monday.
El Aissami oversaw the deportations at Simon Bolivar International
Airport as the handcuffed men were led to a waiting vehicle. He said
that in recent years Venezuela has captured and handed over to other
countries 69 drug trafficking suspects, including about 15 who have been
sent to the United States.
The U.S. Embassy welcomed the deportation of Harris, saying he has been
wanted in the United States since 1991 for various felony charges.
"We desire and hope to resume a full and cooperative relationship on
counter-narcotics, which represents a threat to the U.S. as well as
Venezuela," the U.S. Embassy said in an emailed statement.
U.S.-Venezuelan counter-drug cooperation has been sharply scaled back
since 2005, when Chavez suspended cooperation with the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration and accused it of being a front for
Besides Harris, Venezuela deported five Colombians wanted on
drug-related charges: Jose Reyes Galarza, Jorge Santaella Ayala,
Rubernei Vergara, Yesid Rios Suarez and Didier Rios Galindo, said El
He said Rios Suarez and Rios Galindo are guerrillas who belong to the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
Another Colombian wanted on murder and extortion charges but not drug
charges, Raul Pena Buitriago, was also deported, he said.

Venezuela politician says backed by rights court
An opposition politician said Friday that the Inter-American Court of
Human Rights has sided with him by ordering Venezuela to lift a
decision barring him from running for the presidency.
Leopoldo Lopez announced the decision on his Twitter account, saying
"justice was done." His allies celebrated the decision at a news
conference, one of them holding up a copy of the ruling.
If Lopez is able to run for president, his candidacy could be a
significant shift as opposition contenders look to begin campaigning
for a primary vote in February designed to pick a unity candidate to
challenge President Hugo Chavez. The presidential election is
scheduled for Oct. 7, 2012.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said authorities would
study the court's decision before responding.
Lopez, a former Caracas district mayor, was barred from running for
office in 2005 by the country's top anti-corruption official, the
comptroller general. He challenged the decision, arguing his rights
were violated.
The comptroller general accused Lopez of receiving donations on behalf
of an organization he led between 1998 and 2001 from the state oil
company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, where his mother worked at the
Lopez argued the charges were bogus and said he did nothing wrong. He
was among a list of politicians blacklisted due to corruption
investigations, but he has not been formally charged with any crime.
The court announced during a Sept. 2 session in Bogota, Colombia, that
it had reached a unanimous decision in the case, though it did not
reveal how it had ruled. Under the court's rules, its decisions are
released only after both parties have been formally notified.
Lopez presented his challenge in 2008 after leaving office as mayor of
Caracas' Chacao district.
The decision means Lopez can now run for office, said Carlos Vecchio,
a close ally of the politician.
"There's no need to wait for any decision or order" from Venezuelan
officials, Vecchio said at the televised news conference.
Lopez's lawyer, Enrique Sanchez, said the court ruled that the way in
which various politicians have been similarly disqualified from
running violates Venezuela's constitution as well as a regional
convention on human rights.

Want to show the world the ride you did last night? Upset that Garmin Connect ditched Google Maps for Bing (we are!)? Got an android with GPS and want to view your tracks?
Well, then Map Your Ride!
Log in and upload your tracks. Upload the TCX file right from your Garmin (especially if you have heartrate data). Or use the non-proprietary GPX format. It even accepts KML. Just make sure you select the correct category (even if it is "elsewhere") of riding before you upload.
And as an added bonus, you can download tracks of others and load them into your GPS if you want to duplicate someone's ride. All three formats are available for download.
The code is a little buggy, so if you upload a track and don't see it, email us. Sometimes a TCX works where a GPX failed. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

The Bus is Cool. It's epic cool. You may have heard it called a "Loser Cruiser" but in Denmark we see it differently.
For English subtitles, press the cc button on the bottom of the YouTube panel.
The Midttrafik bus company in Denmark has produced this brilliant advert for their services. They also have a microsite dedicated to their Cool Bus campaign.
Well done, Midttrafik.
For more Scandinavian public transport ads, here's a Swedish one for bus passes for teenagers. Great humour. Thanks to the world's most epic Straphanger, Taras for this one.

Join entrepreneur Ellen Burton as she tackles every aspect of a personal branding makeover with The Image Studios. Today, she talks about reconciling long-held ideas about intelligence versus beauty, and what a real feminist looks like.
I'm not tall, blond and thin. The world has told me that I am the smart one, so I invest in developing my mind instead of my looks.
I am being challenged to see myself differently. I have to admit, it's been a little uncomfortable and very surprising (usually the case when one is being asked to shift a 30-year-old paradigm). I'm being called to sort of grow up some old ideas about what a feminist looks like–now. A feminine feminist! A contradiction in terms, if you ask me.
I'm a child of the 60′s. I'm the generation of young women who were expected to have a career because so many other women fought for that right.
As a developing teenager, my role models didn't wear bras, let alone makeup. We were to be women of choice, and we wanted to be valued for our brains and ability, not just our sexuality. So I believed that if I wanted to be taken seriously and respected professionally, I should focus on accentuating my brain, not my beauty. I believed that I should be valued for my training and intelligence; therefore, my hair and clothing should not be a factor.
For better or worse, this is not entirely true! Brains and accomplishments are not the only way we're judged. I know this. I judge people all the time. Whether on the red carpet or in the grocery store–so I'm not sure why I thought I was exempt.
I think I have to re-evaluate my definition of strong, feminist, accomplished women. I have to re-think what it means to be successful and have choices, and what does that look like 40-50 years after the "women's movement"?
My question is: how do I remain a feminist, strong, accomplished woman, and feminine too?
Choose to be strong, accomplished, feminist and feminine.
This is interesting. I consider myself a feminist. Oxford defines it as "a person who supports feminism." Wiki does the word much more justice. And yup, I'm a feminist, too.
Why are women taught that we have to choose whether we will be regarded as smart or beautiful? Author Dr. Christine Whelan said, "Yes, the media likes to scare [smart women] into believing that they have to choose between career and family, between being smart and being feminine." But I believe that this is not what Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique (1963), had in mind.
Wouldn't it be great if our daughters grew up with permission to be smart and beautiful?
Smart is beautiful! If we are smart and beautiful on the inside, why not look, sound and behave it on the outside? To do anything else is hiding out, and that's silly for those of us feminists who want to have impact.
The feminist is smart, powerful, beautiful, divine and ought to be celebrated, not hidden.
Choose to be all that you are, not just some of it.

Lassie, arguably the world's most famous celebrity dog, first fetched the hearts of moviegoers in 1943's Lassie Come Home. The talented collie had her own radio series from 1947-50 (with Earl Keen filling in for our actual canine-heroine), but Lassie's greatest success was dug up on television in 1954. A live action Lassie ran on CBS from 1954-71 and then continued on for three more years in syndication, overlapping with the start of this cartoon adaptation in 1973.
In Lassie's Rescue Rangers, the title pooch lived near Thunder Mountain with the Turner family. Head Ranger Ben Turner worked with wife Laura and children Susan, Jackie, and Ben Jr. as "The Forest Force," a ranger-rescue team that protected Thunder Mountain National Park. Lassie also headed up a group of wild animals that lived within the national park, working with the Turner family to maintain a healthy environment that was ecologically sound, and to create a safe place for tourists to hike and camp. This renegade group of animal heroes was known as Lassie's Rescue Rangers.
The Rescue Rangers were a band of about eight animals, including Groucho the owl, Toothless the mountain lion, Musty the skunk, and Robbie the raccoon. Also of great value to the Forest Force was Gene Fox, a Native American, who was Ben Jr.'s friend. Gene knew the Thunder Mountain National Park better than even most of the animals, making him a strong ally for the Turner family as they struggled to protect the environment and save lives.
Ted Knight (Mary Tyler Moore, Too Close for Comfort) voiced Ranger Ben Turner and acted as narrator. Over the three seasons Lassie's Rescue Rangers was on the air, the show moved from Saturday to Sunday and back, but only the first season was comprised of new episodes.

More from Sarah Silverman
"We want to cuddle after sex because we're fucking freezing."
Alyssa Milano
"Women are innately self-conscious. This is not a choice; it's a genderwide condition. On a bad day, I look in the mirror and see my ten-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Bertha. On a really bad day, Bertha sees her two-hundred-pound-heavier alter ego. Her name is Brian Dennehy."

"Women like porn, too. We just hate it when you hide the porn."
Kathryn Hahn
"The Brazilian bikini wax is torture. To show a little appreciation, you could trim your nose hair. And your nut sack."

More from Melora Hardin
"We'd much rather try on bras than see them on surgically altered, airbrushed supermodels, but we know how much you enjoy the Victoria's Secret catalog. Consider it a gift."
Carmen Electra

More from Maria Bello
"You aren't the only one who thinks that two women having sex is hot. If we haven't tried it, most of us have at least imagined what it would be like to kiss a pair of shiny red lips."

More from Kim Cattrall

"Pick the weirdest part of our body and compliment it. The left elbow, the forehead, shins. Just be creative."
Faith Salie
"Women don't take forever to pee. It's other chicks who make us wait. We have absolutely no idea what we're doing in there, and we look at one another in the bathroom line like, What the hell? Then, to keep ourselves occupied, we play with one another's boobs."
Andrea Savage
"We hate baby showers as much as you assume a sane person would."

More from Julie Delpy
"A serious scientific study has proven that women think 50 percent more than men, and 90 percent of that extra 50 percent is spent thinking about sex."
Mindy Kaling
"Quit Facebook. If I'm standing next to you, and you're checking to see if you have any vampire bites from girls you went to camp with, something's wrong."
More from Mindy Kaling
"If you defend a girl as 'really smart when you get to know her,' she is dumb. What you mean is, she's 'really smart for a smokin'-hot girl who is stupid.'"
Even More from Mindy Kaling
"Women love sex tapes. Not porn — sex tapes, because scandal is titillating. If you want to trick us into watching porn, tell us the girl in it is famous and we just haven't heard of her yet."
Wanda Sykes

Sela Ward
"Sometimes we think we really understand men. Then we regain consciousness."

I only got the lot to strictly piece out and sell though. Now that I'm probably going to work on the set, I wish I hadn't. Oh well, that's the way life rolls.
