Rejected duck nests on Lovers Lane porch
CORPUS CHRISTI - Roger Hughes, 59, bought a home in the 6900 block of Lovers Lane, abutting Lakeview Park, about 25 years ago to be close to the wildlife, he said.
But he didn't expect one creature to nest on his porch.
About a month ago, a small beige and white duck sought refuge on Hughes' porch.
"Someone dumped it out here and the other ducks chased it away from the lake," Hughes said. "It was scared and hiding under my porch bench."
He started scattering food for it, and a few days later Hughes placed a bale of hay on top of the bench.
He named his squatter Wacky, because the duck runs into the yard squawking at other ducks that show up.
"It's real territorial," Hughes said.
Three weeks ago he came out with his usual handful of cracked corn and found Wacky had made a nest of hay beneath the bench and was sitting on 12 eggs.
"She gets up a few times daily and heads through the yard eating bugs," Hughes said. "She chases pigeons away from bird seed that a squirrel drops from the feeder and Wacky likes to get in the tub I fill with water.
"She has a couple suitors she lets visit," Hughes said. "One is a black duck with a knob on its beak.
Hughes loves Wacky, he said, but hopes she takes the ducklings back to the lake.
"That's where they can thrive best," he said. "If the others just let them stay."

One of the better GTA games and it's handheld.
Chinatown Wars tells a whole new story from Liberty City and it has been developed for the DS from the ground up. It's a full GTA game at the palm of your hand. If you're old enough I strongly recommend you to play it.
You take the role of a young guy who arrives from China to Liberty City. Unfortunately you are almost assassinated and before long it's all about crime and getting a lot of money and respect. It's a typical GTA thing, but the story is told well and as always: if you're not interested in story you can just do side missions.
Gameplay reminds the first two GTA games in a sense that you watch the action from the sky. Controls take a little time to get used to, but they work. Touch screen is used in many clever ways and this helps to keep the gameplay fresh and fun.
Side missions are again a big part of your experience. You can still drive a taxi, buy some real estate and so on, but the thing here is dealing drugs. Someone sells coke cheap and someone wants to buy it for a high price. It's a high chance that you forget what you were doing and just make one deal after another for hours. I suppose this dealing will be a part of future GTA games too.
Music has a Chinese feel to it, but unfortunately it can get a little irritating. Nothing you can't get used to though. There's very little voice acting, because it's been reserved to different sounds of the pedestrians when moving around town. On the other hand this helps to make you feel like you're walking around a real city.
Graphics are colorful and actually quite good in DS standards. Of course there are better looking games out there, but it's the scope and size of the city that makes Chinatown Wars impressive.
Chinatown Wars is fine example on how a mature rated game should be made for the DS. If you like the GTA series or are prepared to try something new on your DS I strongly recommend you to check it out.

wildmatt's forum posts
I dunno if I'd go as far to say that it's TWO NEWS GAMES! Here's the description from the PAX site itself:
"Moderator Francis Mao (CAPCOM) leads a panel of Capcom's producers and product managers to share the latest details on all the upcoming Capcom games such as Remember Me, Lost Planet 3, Resident Evil Revelations, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, two NEW product announcements, and more! Up to 1,000 fans will walk away with a free gift, so this is a panel you definitely do not want to miss!"
That might mean new DLC for Resident Evil 6 or an old game getting ported to Wii U... I wouldn't get my hopes up if you're attending that panel, 'cept maybe for the free gift! :)
I know some have been searching for it, so I figured I'd post it here. http://megascorcher.com/eg/TooHotMusic.mp3
There ya go!
So I was at the panel Friday night and I'm just wondering if anyone has the info/details about the bar... For some reason I'm remembering Flanigans, but that's not right...
Guys, you should check out wirecast! It's not cheap but you can do GREAT stuff with it, like chroma key, so you could put a background in there and overlays as well, which you can edit on the fly. It's cool stuff guys and I bet it would help you immensely with doing the live monday stuff and future things. ;)

KUALA LUMPUR - Not even a recession can stall the hacker institution
that is Hack in the Box (HITB).
In its eighth year, this year's Kuala Lumpur leg drew a 300-strong crowd
from all over the world.
Initially expecting lesser numbers, HITB's Dinesh Nair was pleasantly
surprised at the turnout.
"We had a full capacity crowd at the keynote, over 400 people turned
up." HITB founder Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran said the turnout was
encouraging and bode well for future conferences.
Though the Kuala Lumpur and Amsterdam HITB conferences saw good
attendances, the Dubai leg will be scrapped next year due to low
registration numbers.
Dinesh attributed it to current economic challenges noting that the ICT
sector in Dubai was far less vibrant than it was in past years.

BBC News Article: Why XX must think like XY to earn more K
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Marilyn Davidson, a professor of work psychology at Manchester Business School, wrote an excellent article about salary differences between men and women: Why XX must think like XY to earn more K
Before reading the article, you can take a little quiz to see whether your answers show more of a male or female tendency. Marilyn's article reinforces salary negotiation and assertiveness suggestions from my recent Her PR Problem article.
Based on students responses to her questions about what they expect to earn vs. what they deserve to earn, Marilyn writes, "On average the men think they deserve £10,000 more a year than the women – that's 25% more than the women think they're worth – a staggering figure."
Again we see the issue of assertiveness vs. aggressiveness. "Partly women fear being too aggressive and feisty – which can be viewed as negative in the workplace – but I think it's more complex," Marilyn writes. "It is part of our conditioning that men equate money with status and power but women see job satisfaction as more of an issue."
Okay, considering our current economy, maybe right now isn't the best time to go negotiate for a pay raise. It is the perfect time to start positioning yourself to make more money, however. Ask yourself: What skills are you bringing to your current position? How can you make yourself even more of an asset and indispensable? What do online salary surveys say about your current position, in your region of the country, with your level of experience? What additional skills and experience could you start adding to your resume?
After you've done a little more salary-negotiation homework and preparation, answer the question, "Now what do you think you deserve to earn?"
need vs. want
I wonder how common it is for people to be in a situation where they are able to say they don't need and/or want to earn more money. For example, as a single mother, I never earned anything near what would have been comfortable each month. We weren't eating cat food, but I did have my utilities turned off more than once (ok, many, many times, actually). And even now with two incomes, we still can't buy clothing fast enough for our daughter (who eats like a locust, by the way, so I can't keep enough groceries in the house for that rapidly growing girl, either). Pre-teens are expensive, I tell ya!
Or maybe some of us are just bigger consumers, but I imagine there are plenty of folks working in IT who never think they earn enough to keep up with the newest Kindles, netbooks, iPhones, doo-dads, or favorite print magazine subscriptions.
On the other hand, I'd love to reach a point where I can say, "That's ok, I don't need to earn that much. What would I do with all that extra money?" -
Need v. Want v. Deserve
I also wonder if "well the average pay for this work is $50K, but given my living situation, $35K would be more than I need" is something others think of. That's something I said to a friend once when he told me the average pay in a job I was being scouted for. He said "but you deserve the full $50K" and I just wondered "what would I do with that?"
When I was asked to think about how much I wanted for my current job, I asked DevChix what the usual rate was. "Figure out how much you need to make, and go from there" was a common response. I wonder if that leads us to go for lower pay since we don't really *need* much more. I took the original offer the company gave me; it was the same amount I was going to request.

Ok just got done with a game. End game me and corky had pretty much the same items (mostly +damage and lifesteal) and he had about 20-25 more damage then I did. I had 318 he was sittin on about 330 somethin. Wtf is this about? scion has to have damage dealt to him when he attacks to have that much damage but corky can just have a huge nukes and OP health and attack? Nerf plz
Senior Member
stun only lasts 2 sec after that he can jsut cast 2 nukes and do 2k-3k damage
yeah but corky can dish out 3k damage in 2 sec not much of a tank if i only got 2.5k
There is a problem if some one can do 3k damage in 2 seconds. And it probably isn't the champion (or atleast, not only the champion).
Kharne the Betrayer
Junior Member
I agree with you Exinferis, Hes OP bad. No contest. Every round ive been in with Corky on the opposite team weve been anniahlated. But if hes not on the other team its a pretty even game. If one guy can turn the tide of a battle by himself, he needs to be nerfed. I play league of legends alot and concider myself a pretty decent player, but i dont even stand a chance against a newbie Corkie player. The only person ive come close to killing him with is Warrick, but as soon as my ultimate is up he just lifts up flies off and then turns around and hits me for half my health a pop. I know your going to say, warrick should use his ability when the enemy is at low health. Well the thing about Exinferis is he hits as hard as a caster, has as much health as a tank, and has enough range that he doesnt ever get touched.
Corkie is very very squishy. Any dps player, Ashe, trist, yi can take him out without much of a problem. He just happens to be a support that you have to focus fire on like you do in any team fight, but he goes down even faster than your normal dps. I've played in 3 games with him so far. Haven't had one on my team yet and sure he is annoying but can be delt with easily.
He is annoying but definitely not OP. He goes down VERY quickly.

Magic line, magic line and magic line. Seriously, you will not regret the investment.
Okay on the magic line what do you prefer 2 inches or 3?
DEfinitely 2, I have the 6in of 2&half but if I have enough money will buy the 2in ones.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi, I'm re-designing a print job (monthly mag) with a large trim size and I'm looking for some good ultra-lite serif faces to use at very large display sizes without looking like medieval cudgels. Would like it to (more or less) to not look too different from Adobe Arno, which is what the body text will be. . . clean and reserved.
Would appreciate some suggestions. Sorry to be so lazy, but very busy presently. Thanks in advace.
Stephen Coles' article on The Fontfeed called Extra Light, Ultra Thin Fonts might be of interest to you.
Thanks, I've seen this, and he offers some very useful fonts, but what I really need is serif, in book style, not sans serif, or slab serif. Similar to what the NYTimes Sunday Mag uses when they do their cute stuff with ultra slim book styles at huge sizes.
There aren't many book serifs that are what I'd call ultra light. Display versions of text serifs are generally high contrast, so there is usually a mid-to-heavy part of the stroke, but perhaps one of these works for you:
Arepo would work well with Arno
FF Absara Thin
Eldorado Display
Electra Display
Californian Display
Miller Display
FB Garamond Display Light
Fresco Light
Big Caslon
Minion Display
Warnock Light Display
Chaparral Light Display
Freight Text Light
Filosofia Grand
Linotype Didot
Ambroise Light
Freight Display
Freight Big
Chronicle Display Extra Light
Yeah, it's a problem. . . I've always meant to draw up a set, but never any time. Thanks for taking the time to make this list, very much appreciated. VdO
No problem. You gave me a reason to update the FontFeed article and hopefully make it a bit more useful.
FB Proforma has an Ultra Light weight and is good lookin´.
If I'm allowed to do a bit of self-promotion, my Newt is in the critique section and has an ultra-light weight. It hasn't been released yet, but I'm hoping to get it out there pretty soon.
I like it actually. . . didn't like it at first, but that's because I worked all day and was too uptight and had a rod up my a**.
After a break and bottle of Stella it comes off much better. . . Newt is a good name for it. It's eccentric but consistent in it's style. It would be a good face to set Rimbaud in. A very good effort.
Thanks! I don't know quite when to expect it to be available; I'm still in the early-to-middle phases of getting it out, but I'm trying to move quickly. Rereading, I see you were looking for something like Arno, which Newt resembles very little, but I'm glad you like it anyhow! I've never read any Rimbaud, but he sounds like he would be a good fit. Wish I could be more specific about a release date.
Would Toby and Number3Pencils please revise their posts to link to fonts on the fontshop site? Thanks.
Both the typfaces they link to are not from fontshop.
Proforma is indeed available from FontShop. Simply search on fontshop.com.
Hm, sorry, I should have done a search before posting my last comment.
Although my statement was basically true, Proforma is indeed available on fontshop. :)

You might have missed the segment in last night's GOP debate where CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked carefully prepared questions about what America's industrial policy ought to be. That's because he didn't — not that I'm criticizing Wolf, who did much better than the pathetic Brian Williams and hapless John King — but the candidates nevertheless indirectly gave us their own ugly visions.
First, Newt Gingrich thinks we need to be investing in public works projects, except when he's called on that before a Republican audience and changes that to mostly privately financed projects. Since we're in Florida this week, all that investment should be directed at the moon, Newt says, where there will be a colony of real Americans, English is the official language, and the Chinese can visit in envy but not have a colony of their own. If I were the Chinese, I'd be thinking of that Larson cartoon of the dog hoping the cat will climb into the dryer.
Ron Paul figured out the absurdity of Newt's priorities and proposed that if we are to send people to the moon, it should be our politicians. Score one for Paul.
But instead of using Speaker Moonbeam's idea as a opportunity to describe a national industrial policy, Mitt Romney tried to use it as a shot against Newt's pandering. He charged that Newt went from one primary state to the next promising to spend hundreds of billions on public works projects in each state.
There was about a half-second flash of rationality when Newt claimed that, well yes, there are worthwhile things that warrant public investments in every state, and Washington should know that, so what's wrong with that? But that's a dangerous notion, like asking whether vulture capitalism is good for people, so the moment was quickly lost.
That was the moment when Wolf Blitzer might have asked, "well, don't we need massive investments in infrastructure in every state, and isn't this the perfect time to borrow at record low interest rates and invest in our future and put people to work? . . . and while we're at it, why not build high speed rail systems between, oh, I dunno, Florida's major cities? Wouldn't that do more for the Florida economy than transporting igloos to the moon?"
But this was a GOP debate, so the predictably dead wrong response, both implied by Romney's question and made explicit by Rick Santorum, was that we're broke. We can't afford to spend money, even to invest in our future, and even though there's never been a better, less expensive time to do it nor the need more obvious. And of course, if you're Ron Paul and your mission is to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget in your first year, the idea that government should be making public investments in public infrastructure is off the table. Liberty! Score minus 10 for Paul.
It would have been even more implausible to ask this group how they think we're going to fuel the energy for this century without poisoning our water, our lungs, our oceans and the atmosphere. That conversation is not permitted on a GOP stage.
The fact is, the GOP does have an implicit industrial policy. First, you plunder the planet and cripple the regulatory system to ignore the externalities, because the 1% who fund you can mostly shield themselves from the horrendous costs this strategy imposes on everyone else.
You then structure the tax laws and trade agreements to permit corporations to outsource jobs and put American workers in competition with low-paid workers overseas. Then stash the rents in investments deliberately set up in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands to avoid taxes, and hide part of it in Swiss Bank accounts until — "OMG, I could be running for President, so get rid of that for now!" — and then you make sure that most of nation's wealth gets funneled through the private financial sector, where you take your cut, all at the expense of public investment.
Finally, you tell the rubes that "we're broke" so we have to cut their pensions and Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid; fire teachers and let public schools crumble; demonize food stamp recipients; and make sure the rubes think the reason they're getting their present and futures looted is because all those brown and black people are bleeding you in entitlement programs.
It's an impressive, breathtaking industrial policy, and that's what they talked about in last night's debate, but it was all in code.

We have a large (long) bathroom counter - 128" We are looking to install a white marble slab counter top. The largest slabs we can find are slightly under 120 inches So we likely need a seam (unless anyone can get a 129 inch slab) The question, should we place the slab in the middle or at one of the sinks (they are at either side) You walk in looking at the middle, so a seam in the middle will be very visible and placing the seam at the sink minimizes the size and places it in a less visible location. One builder friend told us placing the seam at the sink was the best way) but the fabricator insists that seams at the sink can get weak and break or discolor. (We are buying the house from a builder that has a deal with the fabricator so they may be trying to save costs for a longer slab) Your answers are appreciated (Note - this is a bathroom top so we are not as concerned with etching or staining - we used granite in the kitchen) |

I think that regardless of whether the seam is at the sink or not that spot is generally the weakest point as the cutout for the sink leaves only a narrow strip of the countertop. So, if that's the case then I don't think having the seam there will make it much more likely to break. But there are some stone wizards here that will most likely give you some great advice. |
I saw a house on the market that had a marble counter with a very obvious seam at the center point of the sink. It was an older home and the bathroom was due for remodeling. Sorry I don't have a photo of it. There was a lot of discoloration, especially around the seam. Granite and quartzite come in longer slabs - but sounds like you want marble. If you are open to a "marble-look-alike," there is a new product, Neolith, which is a thin porcelain slab. It comes in 12 foot long slabs. I'm considering it for my shower walls. |

DrewCo: I thought you might like to see how your marble vanity tops will look in six years or so: I should have pulled the faucets and done the backsplashes, but these customers only wanted to pay enough to make the house look more saleable. This is what two hours' work gets you: Buy whatever you like, but be aware that if you select marble for a bathroom vanity top, you'll be paying for maintenance like that on a vehicle. To answer your question, I'd bring the walls and/or cabinets in or otherwise design out the seams. |
Can you do a bookmatched seam in the middle? That looks pretty nice if you have a symmetrical layout. |
I would have paid you to pull the faucets and fix the backsplash. It would have been beautiful all polished up :) |
Would you consider a section of the length at a different height? Then you wouldn't need an uninterrupted stretch of marble; your "seams" would be at the height changes. or Another option might be to add a linen tower at one or both ends to shorten the overall length needed |
Are your cabinets already in? We did as jreuter suggested. The cabinets with sinks are at kitchen height and between and lower is a make up area just like in the picture he/she posted. This served a couple of benefits for us. We like having the higher height for the sinks for brushing our teeth and face washing and I like having an area where I can sit to apply make up. We wanted to use the same material for the tub surround and counter tops. By doing it this way, the fabricator was able to do a solid piece for the tub surround with no seams and then use the center portion that was cut out for the counter top. I can't remember if they were able to get one or two out of the center section. In the end, we were able to get everything from one slab which kept our cost down. |

A new SoftLayer facility in London with a capacity for more than 15,000 physical servers is the most recent of IBM's ongoing campaign to invest $1.2 million in 15 new datacenters worldwide. The new facility will complement an existing SoftLayer datacenter in Amsterdam and London network Point of Presence (PoP), according to IBM.
"We're excited to give our large customer base in London a full SoftLayer data center right in their backyard, with all the privacy, security, and control the SoftLayer platform offers," said Lance Crosby, SoftLayer CEO.
He also said that "organizations of all sizes are using SoftLayer services to disrupt their industries or even their own operations, creating new business models and applications."
SofttLayer cites MobFox as an example, a company it says is the largest and fastest growing mobile advertising platform in Europe. "MobFox has been working with SoftLayer for a couple of years. We currently deliver more than 150 billion impressions per month for clients including Nike, Heineken, EA, eBay, BMW, Netflix, Expedia, and McDonalds," said Julian Zehetmayr, MobFox CEO.
New Services Agreement in Paris
Separately, IBM announced a five-year services agreement with Boursorama, a subsidiary of the Société Générale group, in which Boursorama will move its web-based IT to SoftLayer cloud infrastructure "to implement a solution that will ensure continuous business operations and rapid growth," according to IBM.
Boursorama is an online bank that "considers quality and availability of the website to be one of the pillars of the development of our company," according to company CEO Marie Cheval. "The agreement with IBM will help us implement a proven technology infrastructure that will let us continue to grow while also giving us the opportunity to improve our website's resilience, our website being our main means of communication with our clients."

24. Denver Broncos: Sheldon Richardson
DT, Missouri
The Broncos offensive line is a bit overrated and could use a boost, but team brass will probably focus on defense here. (Maybe wide receiver, if Justin Hunter falls to this point.) This pick is going to be whoever the best defensive tackle on the board is at the time, and we think it will be Sheldon Richardson.

Talk:Los Santos (HD Universe)
this wiki
Back to page
Population: 4,000,000 Metropolitan area: 13,000,000
Where does this come from? What is considered Los Santos City and what is considered "metropolitan area"? I know in real life Beverly Hills or Compton are actually separate cities from LA but I think it's clear that in the game places like Rockford Hills are a district part of the city, not a separate one. LSPD stations are all over the city, and even the Davis Sheriff station has LSPD logos. Given that the scale of Los Santos is much smaller than real life Los Angeles' metropolitan area, it should be considereda single city in GTA's world. DocVinewood (talk) 16:11, October 8, 2013 (UTC)DocVinewood
Next Gen Release
I think, when GTA V next-gen release, the top main images of Los Santos should be replaced with the same, but next gen versions of them, more detailed. in fact most pages like cars and pictures of places, even characters should be upgraded when next gen GTA V is released, it would take a long time to replace them all though, it would look better though! Who agrees? Monkeypolice188 (talk) 21:21, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

Outstanding quality....
Outstanding quality. I highly recommend this product to any person interested in
a high quality note taking AND long period writing pencil. This pencil has a
thick barrel thus giving the pencil balance for neat writing. I still have
several Dr. Grips that have been constantly in use for 5 YEARS. I cannot find a
con for this pencil. You can even take out the top body shaft and decorate it
with stickers or drawing! Overall, this product is amazing, and is in the top 10
Japanese pencil choices list!

Verified Purchase
Simply outstanding. The soft grip and sharpening feature aids in neat writing.
The gel grip on the pencil is famous for protecting an egg from breaking when
dropped on concrete, thus the grip is extremely soft and comfortable when
compared to other grips. There are only two cons for this pencil: One is that
the grip is slightly firmer than the original alpha-gel; the second is that the
sharpening feature doesn't work if you write in cursive. Overall, this pencil is
wonderful. I highly recommend this product for both long periods of writing, and
short note taking.

Simply outstanding. The wide barrel and comfortable grip is great for long
periods of writing as well as for brief notes.
A small grip at the bottom helps writers that hold their pencil low. This gel is extremely soft, and is famous for protecting an egg from breaking when dropped onto concrete. People with arthritis will be able to write with ease. In conclusion, I highly recommend this product because of these reasons. 1 person found this helpful

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hutchison: Rules of engagement in Mexico need to be changed
March 01, 2011 9:01 AM
THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD <mailto:email@example.com>
U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison says Mexico must change its policy that
prohibits members of U.S. law enforcement from carrying firearms while
on assignment across the border.
Hutchison's push to change the rules of engagement in Mexico come on the
heels of the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent
Jaime Jorge Zapata, a Brownsville native.
Zapata was killed when he and his partner Victor Avila, of El Paso, were
ambushed by members of the Zeta drug cartel on Feb. 15 while they were
driving along Highway 57 in the state
<http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/sections/valley-and-state/> of San
Luis Potosi, according to U.S officials.
The Brownsville native was killed in the attack while Avila was wounded
in the arm and leg. He was later released from a Houston hospital a few
days after the ambush.
Hutchison, R-Texas, addressed the shooting when she spoke to a group of
veterans in Harlingen last week. The senator said that Zapata had died
doing his job — "unarmed."
"We will get to the bottom of it," she told the veterans' group.
Hutchison's office echoed her sentiments Monday in a statement to The
Brownsville Herald.
"The senator believes that our law enforcement agents should be allowed
to carry firearms when they are on official duty in Mexico," stated the
press release.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, agrees with Hutchison's proposal saying
that, "Mexico is in the middle of a full-fledged war against the drug
cartels. It is unacceptable that we would send our law enforcement
officers into harm's way without the ability to protect themselves."
Cornyn called on Congress to hold hearings and work with President
Barack Obama's administration to reevaluate this arrangement and, "take
the steps necessary to ensure our agents are never again put at such a
gross disadvantage."
However, not everyone is convinced that the policy could be changed.
A spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based intelligence firm, Grupo
Savant said that he does not believe that there would be a change in
Mexico's policy.
"You have to remember that Mexico is a sovereign nation and we are there
by invitation only," the spokesman said.
"If the Mexican government chose to no longer accept the assistance of
the U.S., they could easily do that. It is not for us to say. It is for
the Mexican government to say," he said, adding that relations between
both countries tend to become strained when the U.S. tries to impose its
"When we engage in war, we're using whatever weaponry is needed," he
said. "This is not a war. This is a conflict between two cartels that
generate criminality. Its legal definition is different from a war so
that you can't impose the rules of war in a criminal conflict.
"There is no question that agents need to be safe," the spokesman said,
adding that there is need to have a defensive mechanism in place, but he
said that this would be something to be negotiated by the countries.
Mexico's policy has been in existence for decades, but hasn't kept U.S.
law enforcement officials working in Mexico from being armed – including
Hector Berrellez, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's supervisor
that led Operation Leyenda – the investigation into the 1985 torture and
murder in Mexico of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena.
"I had machine guns," Berrellez told The Herald of his trips into Mexico.
The agents he supervised also were armed. He recalled a shootout that
lasted more than three hours.
"They were using 60 round clips and that was 25 years ago," Berrellez
said, noting that there is no way that the U.S. agents would have
survived had they not been armed.
Furthermore, DEA agents were not allowed to travel within the country in
"What were they doing taking a 'Sunday' drive? You don't go for a Sunday
drive," Berrellez said of the drive in a U.S. government-owned SUV that
special agents Zapata and Avila drove from Mexico City to San Luis
Potosi to meet other U.S. agents that had traveled from Monterrey to
exchange equipment.
Zapata and Avila were ambushed while they were leaving the state of San
Luis Potosi to return to Mexico City.
"What was ICE thinking? What are they doing?" Berrellez said, pointing
to the dangerous conditions throughout the country.
During the Camarena investigation, trips were taken by plane only.
Berrellez said that the travel warnings that the U.S. issues should be
heeded by all, including law enforcement officials.
ICE's Director John Morton did not respond to a Feb. 22 request by The
Herald to comment as to why Zapata and Avila were driving instead of flying.
In the request, The Herald also asked why the federal agents were not
accompanied by either Mexican counterparts or other agents given the
dangers in Mexico and the documented attacks on Hwy 57.

Boston, MA –October 19, 2012 –College faculty have evolved their use of social media for professional, personal and instructional use, with a decrease in concerns around the value and amount of time spent using social media, according to a new report from the Babson Survey Research Group and Pearson. The survey results will be presented during Pearson's "Social Media for Teaching and Learning" event today at the Sheraton Boston Hotel from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The annual survey of nearly 4,000 teaching faculty from all disciplines in higher education, representing U.S. higher education professors, examined both the personal and professional impacts of social media.
Key findings of the survey include:
"Faculty are clearly becoming more comfortable leveraging social media in their personal, professional and instructional lives," said Jeff Seaman, Ph.D., co-director of the Babson Survey Research Group. "Social media is no longer seen as time-consuming to learn and use, which shows that faculty are more proficient and better acquainted with the social media tools available to them."
While there continue to be barriers to widespread adoption of social media for teaching, the study showed that these concerns are decreasing. Compared to 2011's social media survey, every adoption barrier measured has decreased in concern, with a dramatic drop in the perception among faculty that social media "takes too much time to learn or use." Other barriers cited include privacy, the integrity of student submissions and the need or desire to separate course and personal accounts.
"Pearson is committed to deeply understanding innovative teaching practices, especially the effective use of technologies for teaching and learning. This is the third year we have collaborated with the Babson Survey Research Group. Our goal is to help broaden the understanding of how the use of social media in teaching and learning can benefit both faculty and students," said Hester Tinti-Kane, VP of Marketing, Social Media Strategy and Research, Pearson.
The complete report and infographic for the 2012 study, "How Today's Higher Education Faculty Use Social Media," are available as a free download at http://www.pearsonlearningsolutions.com/social-media-survey. The report is also available in multiple eBook formats.
