On behalf of his slate of three candidates, Echevarria was conducting his first of three live half-hour paid political radio spots. He and other public figures and candidates would be making the traditional election-day peregrinations to Miami's top Spanish-language radio stations; Echevarria generally prefers that his candidates stay at the precincts and greet voters rather than accompany him to media appearances.
At another microphone across the table sat Hialeah mayor Raul Martinez, a tall, imposing presence in a glen plaid sportjacket, his hands clasped before him on the table. Martinez wasn't running for anything, either, but had lent his support to Echevarria's three candidates, as well as to one other pro-administration incumbent. The councilman and the mayor, two markedly different personalities, have forged an alliance that has run the city for a decade despite persistent challenges.
Both men had a lot at stake this election, but probably more so Echevarria, who stood to lose his council presidency if he couldn't get enough of his supporters elected -- a scenario that was not out of the question. The council president is chosen by the seven-member body after each election and is first in line to become mayor if the mayor can't serve. (Along with an annual salary of $75,755 plus $36,000 for expenses, Hialeah's strong-mayor system confers upon the city's leader almost total administrative authority. Each council member earns a salary of $2400 plus $20,400 for expenses.) With Martinez facing a second federal corruption trial in March (last year an appeals panel ordered a new trial because of flawed jury instructions and juror misconduct), the council presidency will be a more crucial position in the coming year than usual.
Also worrisome was the prospect of Martinez's arch nemesis Nilo Juri, a perennial mayoral candidate running for the council this time around, winning a seat and being voted council president. Despite Echevarria's long-held mayoral ambitions, he has always worked for Martinez against their common enemy, Juri. A well-connected Republican and the owner of two Hialeah garment factories, Juri leads a large political faction that opposes the Martinez administration as corrupt and inequitable. But neither he nor his supporters have ever had a chance to try a different approach: Juri has lost to Martinez four times since 1987, and the council majority generally has been pro-Martinez since he first took office in 1981.
Faced with the chance that Juri might usurp his job -- and then, potentially, the mayorship -- Echevarria marshaled the considerable forces he has gathered over years of networking. And in the November 7 primary, his efforts at securing moral, personal, and financial support from Dade County's political and business elite had paid off. Echevarria's trio of council candidates -- Jose "Pepe" Yedra, Raymundo Barrios, and Carmen Caldwell -- finished first, third, and fourth, respectively, out of eight finalists. Exactly one week later, four of the finalists would be eliminated.
Dade County Commissioner Natacha Millan, who sat on the Hialeah city council with Echevarria from 1987 until 1993 and whose district includes part of the city, called in to WQBA to tell listeners how proud she was to be working for the three candidates on his slate. Martinez seconded Millan's praise, noting that the three share his vision of progress for Hialeah and that they'd all work together to achieve it. "There are elements that seek to divide our community," he warned.
State Sen. Roberto Casas, a Republican from Hialeah and the first Cuban American elected to the legislature, also phoned in with an endorsement. Though Casas kept referring to a fourth candidate who deserved support, Echevarria adroitly thanked the senator and punched another button on the phone before the senator was able to mention a name. After another phoned-in homily from county commissioner and former Hialeah council president Alex Penelas (his district also includes part of Hialeah), the half-hour was over.
As Martinez and Echevarria took cordial leave of one another, a political spot directed at City of Miami voters was airing for the third time that hour. A lurid attack on Miami City Commissioner Victor De Yurre, it accused the incumbent of drug trafficking. (De Yurre would lose his seat to Joe Carollo in the runoff that same day.) The WQBA staffers, having survived what they feared would be "a shootout in the hallway" earlier that morning between Carollo and De Yurre, expressed relief at the civility displayed by the pair of Hialeah politicos.
Indeed, there had been no overt sign of the intense maneuvering just beneath the surface of this effective and durable alliance, nor of the widening divisions that threatened to undermine Echevarria even as he was prepared to lay claim to his most striking political success to date.

Your reaction to reading the words online social networking (OSN) for the first time is probably, isn't that just another description of the Internet? And you would be right: the Internet has always been a place to exchange ideas and to create networks and communities that can defy traditional community structures and hierarchies, and to show how we are all connected to different people. This techie buzz phrase online social networking or Web 2.0 is meant to describe new web-based online communities meant to encourage members to socialize with each other online and have their friends and colleagues publicly listed. These platforms are Friend-of-a-Friend networks: when you join, you note who else on the network is your "friend" or associate, and others are able to see these associations. These platforms are also set up for members to frequently update each other ("I'm queuing for the concert" or "I'm being thrown off the airplane" or "I'm listening to a boring speech" or whatever). Many users find OSN sites easy-to-use as "one stop" shops, since so many tools are all in one place: to chat live with other members, to share music and photos, to know which friends have updated information, etc. OSN platforms also feel exclusive and special, qualities that people under 30 find particularly appealing.
Some of the most popular OSN sites worldwide are FaceBook, Twitter, Orkut (most popular online social networking site in Brazil, among some other places) and Bebo. There are also professional online networks that use online social networking features, such as LinkedIn (my personal favorite) and Plaxo, and issues-focused online networks, such as Change.org. And there are sites that we don't know what they will be yet: at the time of this update, the new player is Google+, and the jury is still out on if it will be a major player or not. Wikipedia hosts a relatively comprehensive list of online networking platforms; however, note that this list doesn't distinguish between social networking sites and professional networking sites, as I do.
For someone who remembers the criticisms of America Online, which had exactly the same exclusive appeal for many people in its early days, these social networking platforms can seem exclusionary and limited. By contrast, you don't have to be a member of anything to view someone's information, or to search for such, on the World Wide Web -- the web is open to everyone.
Another criticism: using these sites generates a lot more work for users: you have to re-type information over and over again, to reach the audience on each platform (yes, there are apps that will automatically post something across platforms - but none will do it all).
Still, there are advantages of using online social and professional networking platforms:
Where to get started?
If you are totally in the dark about how online networking platforms work and you are too daunted to experiment with them on your own, ask your volunteers or even your clients if any among them would feel comfortable coming onsite and showing you how social networking platforms work, and how various nonprofit organizations are using them. You probably already have volunteers or members who would love to share this information with you.
Wikipedia hosts a relatively comprehensive list of online networking platforms; however, note that they don't distinguish between social networking sites and professional networking sites.
The Significant Investment Required for OSN Success
There is nothing simple about OSN. It requires a significant time investment to get any kind of return/meaningful results. The reality is that hundreds or thousands of "friends" do not translate into significant numbers of new volunteers or financial donations. Most nonprofits are struggling to keep just their simple web sites up-to-date and answering the many, many inquiries they already receive via email. Using OSN successfully at an organization takes strategic planning, budgeting of staff time, involvement of volunteers, and constant readjustments. As well, you have to report constantly to the board and donors on what different your Internet activities make towards your mission; corporate donors and foundations love to whine about not wanting to fund administrative costs, so you have to constantly convince them that this administrative cost is worth funding.
And keep in mind that "traditional" online communities, whether on YahooGroups or GoogleGroups or another web-based platform, or even via email, are already connecting nonprofit professionals with many more people and organizations than a nonprofit can keep up with. If a nonprofit has a web site, has an email newsletter, staff members who occasionally use online discussion groups, and volunteer recruitment posts to something like VolunteerMatch, I consider that nonprofit very tech savvy -- to be using OSN as well takes an enormous amount of time and resources that the vast majority of nonprofits just don't have (and that's without even considering podcasts, blogging and videos as well. What's most important is that your volunteers, donors, clients and other supporters feel engaged with you online - only you can say if that is happening now, or if more needs to be done using OSN.
Most funders are never going to fund staff at a nonprofit to engage in all of these online activities (most funders still balk at paying for things like copy machines or chairs). Therefore, the only way most nonprofits are going to be able to use OSN platforms outside of asking volunteers to include information in their profiles is to find very dedicated, very knowledgeable and very trustworthy volunteers, including online volunteers working from home, school or their own work place, to engage in these activities on the organization's behalf. But, as with any activity, the nonprofit needs to think strategically about engaging in OSN: what's the goal of participation? what will success as a result of participation look like? how will the success of this activity be measured?
While I don't think FaceBook is the greatest thing since sliced bread, I do think it's an important part of a nonprofit or government or other mission-based organization's overall box of outreach tools. Twitter is a great way for some nonprofits to network, collaborate and, yes, outreach, but for others, it's been a total flop, a waste of energy. So few nonprofits or governments -- or corporations, for that matter -- "get" FaceBook or Twitter. For instance, many of them post endless pleas for donations as their status updates. Or post incredibly boring "events," like that the Executive Director is going to speak somewhere. Or that the new annual report is now available. Or launch yet another contest. ZZzzzz.
Here are some organizations that "get" FaceBook, in my opinion:
Do I use any networking platforms?
TechSoup has a good article about nonprofits and OSN that includes some concrete examples of nonprofits using OSN platforms to connect with supporters. It actually reads like articles about the early days of initial nonprofit use of the web, when the novelty of making information and needs available resulted in immediate floods of new supporters and resources. However, those times wore off quickly. Also, what's still needed are examples that include details on how such organizations can manage all these massive amounts of information, who actually inputs all of the information again and again in all these closed communities and regularly checks the email inboxes of such, how nonprofits choose which community for what activity, how OSN has not worked in certain instances, etc.

why the unholy silence on faith-based law schools?
I've been surprised that so little has been written on faith-biased legal education
by weblawgers who might be apprehensive about the idea. We seem to hear only from
fans of the notion. While I am not like Chris Newman's friend, who would refuse
accreditation for such schools, I'm very wary about claims that religion-focused law
schools will produce lawyers who are more moral and ethical, or that proper legal
interpretation should look to the Bible first rather than our Constitutions.
My misgivings can be found in the earlier post "religious law schools offer no salvation,"
which was quoted at length yesterday (Dec. 27, 2004) — not by a blawger — but by
Austin Cline, at his Agnosticism/Atheism Blog. [talk about preaching to the choir]
Non-lawyer Cline wrote:
"Religion doesn't make one more moral, so a religion-based legal education
couldn't be expected to turn out more moral lawyers. It's also doubtful that
religious traditions necessarily have a great deal to offer when it comes to
a legal education today. In fact, if a religion-based education inspires one
to try to apply religious texts to legal cases rather than just the law, it could
cause more problems. Aren't religious conservatives the ones who complain
about judicial activism? "
Cline previously posted Falwell Opening Law School and Onward Christian Lawyers
at his A/ABlog.
Why are weblawggers so shy about this topic? One told me he didn't want to take on
the religious right in public. I hope others will overcome such fears and openly discuss
a topic that may become quite important for the future of our profession and legal system.
As usual, thoughtful discussion pro, con or in between would be welcome. (and, as you
can see, irreverence need not be shunned)

Creating a consistent, well-documented golf instruction approach was at the heart of Joe Assell and Mike Clinton's new-to-the-world business concept. As fellow graduates of the respected Professional Golf Management Program at Mississippi State, the two saw a powerful convergence of economic factors others had ignored. So, in April 1995, they set out to revolutionize the golf improvement industry.
FACTOR ONE: A growing interest in golf and instruction with no coherent, repeatable path or process for player improvement, particularly at an avid amateur level = market need.
FACTOR TWO: An under-utilized base of passionate PGA instructors who were limited by seasonal, outdoor employment opportunities = hidden capacity.
FACTOR THREE: A lack of business vision and organizational structure to connect Factor One with Factor Two to generate on-course results for golfers, career viability for PGA Professionals, and worthwhile returns for investors = roll-up opportunity.
The first decade demonstrated the viability of the concept as Assell and Clinton built the proprietary systems to power future growth. This same architecture energizes over 185 U.S. Improvement Centers in the United States, Canada and abroad over the past 19 years.
Over 600 Certified Personal Coaches are employed year-round by GolfTEC with the Company delivering over 26% of all private golf lessons given in the United States annually. GolfTEC has given over 4 million lessons to over 250,000 clients over the past 19 years, with a footprint that covers 80% of the U.S.
The intersection of personal services, recreation, competitive sports, and nationwide access is the unique result of portable, transferable vision based on the passionate pursuit of golf mastery brought by Assell and Clinton. No wonder these co-founders were selected as Rocky Mountain Region 2008 Entrepreneurs of the Year by Ernst and Young.
A 2007 International Franchise Association Award for Achievement serves to punctuate GolfTEC's reputation for new-to-the-world products and services leading to business results. Central to the Award was the proprietary CaddyMaster system created and maintained by GolfTEC's in-house team to integrate multiple business functions around one common platform.
This is only one of the game-changing innovations Assell and Clinton have used to fuel the Company's growth. Adding Denver-born recreation entrepreneur Tom Gart as the lead investor among 70 continues to accelerate GolfTEC's go-to-market pace. Linking with Golfsmith Golf and Tennis to co-locate facilities delivers a turnkey solution to golfers. Franchising puts new sources of capital to work and gives owners incentives to perform.
Over the years, Personal Club Fitting was added to allow non-Tour golfers to match their clubs to their golf swing and playing preferences. As with the patent-protected g-SWING and g-PUTT systems, Personal Club Fitting integrates motion measurement, digital video and an unparalleled database of more than 1,000 club options.
Golfers move through the physical space inside an instructional bay while their movements, like those in a computer model, are tracked, recorded, and analyzed. From this massive data capture, their Certified Personal Coach™ provides well-documented recommendations customized for each player. A personal website is crafted for each client, providing 24/7 access to lesson recaps, game tracking, practice drills and much more.
GolfTEC's emerging challenge? Limit expansion of this comprehensive portfolio to deliver a streamlined client experience while responding to request from enthusiastic franchisees for localized offerings.
Assell and Clinton's competitive nature finds its form with community involvement. Connecting GolfTEC Certified Personal Coaches to their respective communities is one key to providing a stable, rewarding career environment, the pair have discovered.
In 2007, the delivery of no-cost lessons given to local educational, athletic, and community service organizations exceeded $1.23 million. On a national level, system-wide contributions to Patriot's Day benefited the families of men and women in active military service. All of these engage GolfTEC Certified Personal Coaches in ways uncommon to non-GolfTEC instructors teaching on their own and limited by seasonal restrictions.
Assell and Clinton, mindful of their education and the institution that brought them together to found GolfTEC, donated two g-SWING systems each worth in excess of $20,000 to two university undergraduate programs. Not surprisingly, Mississippi State University was at the top of their list.
Connecting all these service initiatives is the core belief that golf is a tool for productive economic, community, and personal change. That belief is what convinced 70 investors to join Assell and Clinton well before GolfTEC became the undisputed leader in golf improvement.

Florida Panthers (14-18-5)
@Winnipeg Jets (16-16-5)
Friday, December 20
MTS Centre
Attendance: 15,004
Winnipeg, MB (SportsNetwork.com) - Evander Kane, Jacob Trouba and Michael Frolik each had a goal and an assist as the Winnipeg Jets cooled off the Florida Panthers, 5-2, for their first home win in more than a month.
Tobias Enstrom and Blake Wheeler added goals to help the Jets end an 0-3-2 skid at MTS Centre since a shootout triumph over Philadelphia on Nov. 15. Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Scheifele each contributed a pair of assists to support a 21-save effort from Ondrej Pavelec.
"I thought the game was good, it was good to get the win at home," Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel said. "It's been awhile since we cleanly got a win (here at MTS Centre)."
The Panthers had a season-best five-game win streak halted despite goals from Shawn Matthias and Nick Bjugstad. Jacob Markstrom finished with 27 saves in the loss.
After spotting the Panthers an early 1-0 edge on Matthias' score off a Winnipeg turnover 7:45 in, the Jets struck three times before the conclusion of the first period to gain the upper hand.
Trouba potted the equalizer with the clubs skating 4-on-4 just past the midway mark of the opening session, skating in from the blueline and sending an attempted centering pass right through Markstrom's pads.
A pair of Panthers' penalties gave Winnipeg a 5-on-3 later in the period, and the Jets scored 33 seconds apart with the man advantage to grab a 3-1 lead.
Enstrom ripped a shot from the point into the upper right corner of the Florida net 4:36 prior to the first intermission, and Wheeler tipped home a one-timer from Zach Bogosian over Markstrom's right shoulder during a 5-on-4 situation.
"They came out really hard in the first, and basically won the game in the first period," Panthers head coach Peter Horachek admitted.
Kane converted a 2-on-1 with Frolik with just 63 seconds elapsed in the second period to increase the margin to 4-1, though Florida got some momentum back just under five minutes later.
After Scottie Upshall forced Kane to turn the puck over in the Winnipeg zone, Bjugstad ripped a wrister past Pavelec to cut the deficit to two.
Frolik restored the Jets' three-goal differential with 2:07 to go in the period, swooping in to knock home the rebound after Markstrom kicked away Andrew Ladd's initial attempt.
Pavelec protected the lead from that point on, turning aside all nine shots he faced in the third period.

Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2013
Sarah Burton's Pre-Fall 2013 collection for Alexander McQueen draws on nuns' habits and the kind of garments usually reserved for the highest-ranking clergy in the Catholic Church. Most of the looks are rendered in black and white, but not everything about this offering is austere and puritanical. A few evening ensembles have plunging necklines, and the hem of one dress stops mid-thigh. A high-heeled take on the pilgrim shoe and an emphasis on capes add to the religious drama here, but none of that is as dramatic as the final look: a gray cape with an overlay of white flowers.

5 great frameMOZTrade | 22/09/2009 | See all MOZTrade's reviews (23)got one of these following the success of the 7 inch frames I have purchased... what can I say... great frame! I have a family slideshow running on it constantly in my hall... its a great featureshame its so expensive otherwise I'd have a few more... still the cheapest 15" digital frame I've found though..
5 Fantastic buy!MarkWithey | 29/11/2011 | See all MarkWithey's reviews (1)Holidayed with the Mrs recently and purchased one of these when we got back. Great way to show our pictures to everyone and to keep reliving the holiday snaps. Looks smart and stylish...excellent value for money!!!!
3 Good digital photo frameDAVIETN | 11/01/2011 | See all DAVIETN's reviews (4)Bought one of these for my parents for Xmas. Digital cameras mean that all your photos end up on the PC and you don't show them to people as much as the old "packet of photos".So got a digital frame to display the digital photos.Picture quality is great. Its running a constant slideshow and never turn it off.Only problem is the remote control frequencies seem to clash with other devices - e.g. the TV, or the DVD player. The photo frame remote doesn't affect any other devices, but somehow when you're trying to turn on the DVD, or skip forward or pause the DVD using the DVD remote the photoframe will turn off, or switch to the menu, or change the view mode from photo to calendar - it seems totally random. And ts really annoying.If it wasn't for this annoying problem I'd give the frame itself 4 or even 5 stars.
1 freeze then black screentattoostix | 21/01/2011 | See all tattoostix's reviews (1)only had this on my wall 2 days and it wont work now 1st day froze up a not very good piece of kit
1 Rubbishsafcee | 27/10/2011 | See all safcee's reviews (1)Stopped working after 2 weeks. Cheap and nasty bit of kit. Pay a bit more and get something of decent quality, wish I had.

The file should look like this:
User-agent: *Dissallow /
That'll stop all bots.
That'll stop all bots who obey/read the robots.txt file - don't count on this method - don't put data in a public place that you don't want to be "found".
Disallow /dir/page.html
I *think* that'd do it...
I suggest protecting a subdirectory using the sample below, and then putting the page there and giving it a more-or-less unguessable name (i.e. not index.html). Also make sure that if someone nosy tries to access that directory, that your server doesn't cough up a list of the files in the directory. That should be sufficient unless the data is really sensitive, in which case you should definitely password-protect it.
User-agent: * Dissallow /some_private_dir/
User-agent: * Disallow: /some_private_dir/
If you want to be sure that nobody unauthorized can read it there is simply no alternative to a password protection scheme.

Recording videos is a relatively new hobby of mine. At this point I'm not getting into editing at all. I'm just concentrating on learning how to best take raw footage with my Canon 5D Mark II DSLR practicing on anything that is interesting to me. Lately I've been taking a lot video of live musical performances, which is very enjoyable and challenging, especially since they are usually in very low lighting conditions. I've created a new VIMEO channel called "SLO Music!," vimeo.com/channels/slomusic#25773974, with the objective of showcasing the wide variety of music talent here on the Central Coast. Please check it out, and bookmark and/or subscribe to it. Also, I invite you to leave comments if you are moved to do so, either on the channel itself, or under individual videos if they are specific comments for that video. I'm sure the individual artists would love any feedback you may give!

The nation has hit a crisis of confidence it seems
"It's been rare for us to see a bet on Team New Zealand this morning," [yachting bookmaker Kieran] McAnulty said.
It is a dramatic change for TAB, which the Friday before last thought the America's Cup was all over and closed off betting.
But than Oracle made a "dramatic turnaround" and TAB reopened its books.
While the tide of betting was very much in Oracle's favour today, things were a little more optimistic yesterday, when a $16,000 bet was placed for the Kiwis to win.
Even so. Â One Kiwi punter thinks the money is good betting Team New Zealand is going to lose
Team New Zealand may still have the lead in the America's Cup, but one punter has bet $10,000 the Kiwis will lose.
As more and more punters placed their money on a victory for United States team Oracle in the America's Cup, the TAB today drastically reduced its odds of a New Zealand victory, [] McAnulty said.
Following Team New Zealand's double-loss this morning, Oracle was paying $3 to win against $1.33 for the kiwi team.
Are we a country of chokers?
Are they a country of cheaters?
Not sure how you get a line on the next pope but these are the odds. Read more »
Labour have come out against SkyCity and pokies, and gambling in general.
As is usual with Labour they are hypocrites. The are organising a fundraiser at Ellerslie Racecourse that includes:
"…team betting, racebook, private room, special 'guest punter' and spot prizes"
I wonder who the special guest punter is?
Interesting though that gambling when raising funds for Labour is a "great fun event for the whole family".
Now you are either against the evils of gambling or it is a "great fun event for the whole family"…it certainly can't be both.
Rob Hosking at NBR has brought some sanity to the "high dollar' debate that Bernard Hickey along with Selwyn Pellett and his corporate welfare gang, seem to talk about quietly and then loudly among themselves.  Rob has dissected the issues  and provided reasons that Hick-think is so very very wrong for the New Zealand economy.
Rob looks at the enormity of our paddle pond v the world's markets on US QE measures.
Rob goes one further
People have criticised me in the comments on posts where I post Nate Silver's predictions and where the numbers call the election for Obama. They also mistake my calling the election for Obama at this stage as support for Obama. They should not, but that is a separate post.
Ther eis a reason I prefer Nate Silver's predictions…he is usually right…and uncannily so. Sure you can point to individual polls that show Mitt Romney beating Obama, but that is a single poll.
Nate Silver uses far more sophisitcated modelling than simple polling. Conveniently he has explained what he does in a recent post. It is very enlightening. Especially the comparison of his methodology with prediction markets and betting agencies.
Before people diss what Nate Silver has to say, based ont eh numbers and his unique methodologies, they should really learn and understand what makes his models tick. It is way, way more than just running a "poll of polls" which is what some think.
I sometimes get asked whether I bet money on my forecasts — I don't, since I would consider it a conflict of interest — or failing that, whether I would recommend a bet on them relative to the odds on offer at Intrade or Betfair.
My answer is probably unsatisfying. I think modeling a presidential election is a pretty hard problem. I think futures markets and sports books (like markets of any kind) can certainly go wrong. But I also think that the statistical methods can go wrong: all of them rely on a set of assumptions and choices made by the forecaster.
Some choices, in my view, are clearly better than others. One or two of the statistical methods, for instance, assumes that the outcome in each state is independent of the outcome in the next one. Ohio might move in one direction — and Michigan, just as easily, in the opposite one.
That's simply not a credible assumption. The failure to appreciate correlations in risk is one of the things that led to the recent financial crisis. A change in economic conditions, or a substantial gaffe or scandal in the campaign, is likely to be reflected to some degree in all states, and move all of their numbers in the same direction. Our model assumes that the uncertainty in different states is largely, but not entirely, correlated. If you believe the contrary, you probably ought not be let anywhere near a job function in which you are asked to manage risk — although the credit-ratings agencies might be happy to hire you.
These pet peeves aside, elections forecasting is a challenging problem. More often, the assumptions in a model are intrinsically going to be educated guesses rather than being demonstrably right or wrong.
So my default is this: Bet on Vegas relative to the FiveThirtyEight model, but bet on the FiveThirtyEight model relative to Vegas. If you take the average between the FiveThirtyEight model and the consensus betting lines, you'd get about a two-in-three chance of Mr. Obama winning another term.
As more evidence continues to come out at the Coroner's inquest into Fololobese Muliaga's death the more we should be demanding an apology from Breasel for using so shamelessly the death of someone in his "family" for political points scoring.
Today the Coroner's Court heard that Fololobese Muliaga was a dead woman walking. So dead in fact that she had a no resucitate notation on her health records with the Counties-Manukau District Health Board.
[quote]Medical records presented to the Coroner show that if Mrs Muliaga had suffered a cardiac arrest in hospital, no attempt would have been made to resuscitate her.
Dr Andrew Veale, a respiratory expert for the DHB, said neither Mrs Muliaga nor her family knew about this, and they should have been kept informed.
But Dr Veale said she could have died at any stage, even while using her oxygen machine for the recommended 16 hours a day.[/quote]
So in other words, the eminent medico's including the putz that gave "damning" evidence just a couple of days ago knew she was worm fodder, it was just a matter of time. The oxygen machine is a side issue and now we should be looking at assisted suicide as the cause of death.
It is what I have said all along. Fololobese Muliaga ate herself into the condition she was in, refused medical advice to lower her substantial weight through dient and exercise and when told she better get her affairs in order, she went home to have the boys sing her songs and play the guitar while she quietly just died on them. She knew she was dying, she gave up. It just so happens that some poor putz from Mercury Energy stumbled along conveniently for them to use Breasel to extort money from a corporate when it wasn't even their fault.
Breasel should be apologising and so should Clark for politicising her death. She didn't even bother and nor did any other Labour minister to turn up at the service for the 7 killed in the canyoning disaster.
Not only that now loopy bitch Maia is in on the act blaming, again, capitalism for Fololobese Muliaga's death. Yeah I suppose it was captialism, after KFC and McDonalds are evil capitialist organisations and they force fed her on their sub-standard capitalist pig swill.
Breasel and his family are being shown up for what they are, lying toerags intent on defrauding Mercury Energy over the death of their self terminated mother. It is Mercury Energy that should be seeking damages.
Oh and another thing, still waiting Brease for the "bash" you are supposed to be giving me, or don't you have a HT licence for the truck you'll need to bring the boys around?

Demi Lovato has always been vocal about struggling with eating disorders and bipolar but she opened up for the very first time about her drug addiction. The 21-year-old singer told "Access Hollywood" about her struggles with cocaine and how she kept her drug problem hidden from everyone around her, including a sober companion who traveled and lived with her.
"Something I've never talked about before, but my drug use I could hide it to where I would sneak drugs," she said during the interview on Monday, Dec. 9. "I couldn't go 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes."
"I would smuggle it basically and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep and I would do it right there," she continued. "I'd sneak to the bathroom and I'd do it."
Lovato said she realized her life was on a downward spiral at 19-years-old and knew she needed to make some serious changes. She revealed that besides her heavy drug use she was also abusing alcohol, and sometimes would start drinking as early as 9 a.m.
"I had a moment where I was like, 'Oh my God... that is alcoholic behavior,'" she said. "[It's] no longer, 'I'm young and rebellious and having fun,' it was, 'Wow, I'm one of those people... I gotta get my shit together."
Lovato wasn't the only opening up about past struggles. Her mother, Dianna Hart, told "Access Hollywood" that she also suffered with eating disorders and it was her daughter who pushed her to seek help.
"I had issues I needed to work on as well because I wasn't setting a good example for her," Hart said. "I had a terrible eating disorder that I had for many, many years and I didn't realize it and I had to face up to the fact that I was suffering as well. And a lot of what [Demi] went through with an eating disorder had to do with what she had seen growing up."

Meet The Rue Crew
Rodrigo grew up in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico and later in Toronto, Canada, the result of which was several years of culture shock. He has a degree in Literary Studies and Philosophy from the University of Toronto and is the President of Marrs Media Inc., founder of RUE MORGUE Magazine, RUE MORGUE Radio, RUE MORGUE's CineMacabre Movie Nights, RUE MORGUE Cinema and coordinator of RUE MORGUE's Annual Festival of Fear and Halloween Party events. Beginning in 2006, Rodrigo wrote and directed a series of award-winning shorts that culminated in a feature film, The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh, that screened theatrically across Canada in 2013.

Dave was born and raised in Deadmonton, Alberta - where things blacker and more pungent than oil reside beneath the Wheat Fields of Madness. Dave grew up obsessing over dinosaurs, drawing monsters and compulsively watching a double bill of the original Dracula and Frankenstein that his parents taped off late-night TV on a VCR the size of a Hyundai. Years later he attended the University of Alberta, working at the student newspaper as Arts & Entertainment Editor, then Editor-in-Chief, and managed to complete a four-year Film Studies degree in six years (graduating magna scum laude, of course). Afterwards, he worked full-time as a freelancer for various newspapers and magazines across North America, made award-winning short films and did unspeakable things to corpses. He also developed an unhealthy crush on RUE MORGUE, and after freelancing for the mag for a couple of years, was invited to join the coven as Managing Editor. Since then, he's made the short film Fallow, published a short story called "Growth Spurts," started programming Rue Morgue's CineMacabre movie nights and taken on the role of Editor-in-Chief.
Monica is an accomplished writer, two-time Go-Go Ghoul and once-regular smut columnist who went legit in November 2003 and joined the crew at the RUE MORGUE House of Horror full-time as Assistant Editor/Webmistress, before eventually taking over the Managing Editor position. Monica confesses to harbouring a terribly unhealthy (and somewhat creepy) obsession with words, she often draws them forth in the dark of night to manipulate and exsanguinate them, using their then spent and pliant carcasses to her own literary ends. See, we warned you. Often found curating fiction for her micro-press Burning Effigy, working on the Blood Magic Saga (her young adult horror/urban fantasy book series), or lurking beneath an unruly pile of horror novels, Monica pours her blood, sweat and acidic tears into the Ninth Circle department, all while keeping that spooky third eye of hers on the various RUE MORGUE websites. Be afraid, Monica is probably watching you too! Website|Facebook
April was born in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, where her psyche was permanently warped by fried rabbit, moonshine and Southern Baptist sermons. Still, she was a fairly normal little girl who liked to skip and wear pink until she found a stack of Tomb of Dracula comics at an impressionable age. It's been a downhill slide ever since. April studied filmmaking at the UNC School of the Arts (no, she doesn't know Danny McBride, please stop asking) before sharing an apartment in New York City with six deranged parrots and a leather queen. She eventually returned to her native Tennessee, where she writes and edits for RUE MORGUE, nurses an unhealthy obsession with The Facts of Life, and buys booze in mason jars from a guy named Doughbelly.

Justin hails from Grimsby, a dreadful little town ominously known by locals as "Grim City." With a sprawling graveyard practically next door and an early discovery of his father's horror movie collection, Justin's fascination with all things macabre was all but assured. As his horror obsession grew, so did his artistic abilities. Naturally his preferred subject matter was the monsters and ghouls of haunted houses and late-night creature features. In 2005, Justin graduated from Sheridan College's interpretive illustration program and immediately began madly carving a name out for himself in the industry, freelancing with such clients as White Wolf Publishing and Chad Michael Ward. After submitting his portfolio - bound in human flesh and inked in blood, of course - Justin joined RUE MORGUE as Graphic Designer in 2007, and was promoted to Art Director in January 2012. He is currently the magazine's Design Consultant. Website
Ron McKenzie grew up in the Great White North (Red Lake, Ontario, to be exact). Like other kids his age his days were filled with the regular rites of passage: climbing trees, building forts, outrunning hungry Wendigo when the sun went down. His mind and soul were nourished on a steady diet of comic books, B-movies (rented every weekend from the local video store), the works of Clive Barker, and the Time-Life Mysterious World books. But all young men must find their way in the world, and it was thus that many years later, Ron found himself at the doors of The House of Horror. After running the gauntlet of tests and challenges that came with his initiation (he still wets himself a little when he gets too close to "that damned basement"), he finally found a place where he belonged. On top of his duties as Office Manager, Ron also collaborates with his daughter (a monster-kid in training) on Daddy's Little Monster, found semi-regularly on this here website. If you're writing an e-mail or making a phone call to Rue Morgue, he's the silver-tongued devil (the result of a smelting accident back home - he's kinda touchy about it) on the other end. Twitter
Marco is the Vice President and financial controller of Marrs Media Inc. He also owns a film production company called Veni Vidi Vici Motion Pictures which has produced several music videos and award-winning films, including The Eyes of Edward James, The Demonology of Desire and Pink.
Jody met Rodrigo early on in the history of RUE MORGUE. He was the company's first ever employee and, as he is fond of telling people, he was the first to lay eyes on RUE MORGUE's premiere issue in 1997 even before Rodrigo did. Jody doesn't quite know how he ended up being the marketing/advertising manager of a horror magazine, but he became so good at it that he now owns a part of the company. A resident of Port Perry, Ontario, Jody is a hillbilly at heart and hates driving downtown.
Brad Abraham is the creator of the acclaimed indie comic book series Mixtape, and the screenwriter behind the films Fresh Meat, The Picco Incident, Stonehenge Apocalypse, and Robocop: Prime Directives. He is currently developing the dark children's fantasy thriller Weaver Island with the ghoulish folks at Rue Morgue Cinema. A resident of NYC, he is pleased to report that while its C.H.U.D. problem is relatively under control, it's best to stay indoors after dark anyway, because of the Wolfen. Website|Twitter
Emma left England for Canada nearly ten years ago and has never looked back. Her creative fashion sense never ceases to amaze and she always seems to be smiling... or is it leering? Emma reads suspense and horror lit in her spare time, owns a Chihuahua named Burton and her favourite movies include The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Zombie and, of course, anything by George Romero.
Stuart was born in Liverpool, England in the same maternity ward where some of the more cheerful members of the Beatles first came into being. But unlike his loveable moptop brethren, Feedback did not enter the world kicking and screaming, he came in black and blue and barely breathing, with the umbilical cord wrapped firmly around his neck so it's no surprise that he ended up writing for RUE MORGUE. Feedback produces weekly interview segments for RUE MORGUE Radio and forms one half of The Caustic Critics. Feedback also hosts CKLN Radio's weekly film show Cinephobia and is the director of the infamous sub cult classic, The Goldfarb Variations, the film that does for latent homosexuality what Gary Glitter did for child pornography.
A.S. Berman is a paid up member of Sion Sono's "Suicide Club," misses the DC horror comics of the 1980s horribly, and is so hardcore he wrote The New Horror Handbook and The Gilmore Girls Companion back to back. (Did we mention the split personalities?)
Aside from penning RUE MORGUE's monthly It Came From Bowen's Basement column, John is a film reviewer, occasional feature writer, aspiring (unproduced) screenwriter, aging rocker and full-time curmudgeon. Passions: the Phantasm films, Beethoven, The Donnas, The Supersuckers, Shostakovich. Aliases: El Borracho Grande, Sir Drinksalot, Onan the Barbarian. Known accomplices: The Pariahs (thirtysomething indie rock gawds - arguably Toronto's loudest and drunkest band). Usual haunts: Toronto's legendary El Mocambo (w/The Pariahs), Toronto's almost equally legendary Brass Rail Tavern. CAUTION: Although subject is unarmed and very skinny, he is reputed to have been in a foul mood since 1989.
James has been fascinated with monsters and all things scary since the age of three. Growing up in Toronto during the '70s and '80s, he fed his insatiable appetite for horror with a steady diet of Hilarious House of Frightenstein and Saturday afternoon TV matinees of Universal, Hammer and Amicus flicks - all while eating too many bowls of Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry. Slogging away as a freelance newspaper and magazine writer, James longed to write about his favourite subject and one day found himself walking the undead path to RUE MORGUE's offices. An avid collector of monster figures, model kits, vintage board games, movie posters and books, James spends his spare time searching for the next item to add to his eclectic and ever-growing collection of horror ephemera.
Paul watches far too many movies, typically very bad ones. When not unearthing vintage horror, drive-in schlock and exploitation oddities for RUE MORGUE, Paul plumbs the sleazy depths of Canadian B-films on his own website, Canuxploitation.com. Website|Twitter
Known at Rue Morgue parties as playfully ghastly host Twitch Cuvier, Fisher also illustrates the magazine's monthly "The Disfigures of Speech." Apart from creating macabre imagery, Fisher de-composes unsettling music, including the soundtrack reinterpretation of the Quay Brothers' short films, titled Nightmare Picture Theatre.
Tomb is gatekeeper to The Audio Drome and has an unnatural lust for horror punk, psychobilly and creepy soundtrack scores. Cinematically, Tomb gets stiff with the Living Dead, digs weird new ideas and likes a good laugh as much as a great scare. He is the voice behind RUE MORGUE Radio, and on a mission to save souls... with scary movies and rot 'n' roll music! Website|Twitter
The Gore-Met cut his teeth on Ultraman, Godzilla and all things horror on television in the early '70s, and was on a steady course until the advent of home video in the early '80s. After a double bill of I Spit On Your Grave and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre left him entirely unhinged, The Gore-met has spent the years since in search of bigger, better and more obscure schlock. Sitting through many a crapbomb so you don't have to, The Gore-met strives to deliver the goods on those forgotten and ignored films, both new and old.
Like all good goth girls, Liisa loves vampire stories, writes poetry and still owns a hair crimper. She's a journalist and radio/TV commentator specializing in music and unpopular culture and the author of Encyclopedia Gothica (a dictionary for the doomed from Absinthe to Zombies) and How to Kill a Vampire: Fangs in Folklore, Film and Fiction. You may remember her as the Blood Spattered Guide to Music on Rue Morgue Radio (R.I.P.) and for her years of service reviewing vampire films of questionable quality for the magazine. Her interests include dead things, arcane words, bloodsucking freaks, collecting human bones, Jack Skellington, travels of terror and eradicating typos. Website|Facebook
Lance had been begging for a chance to appear in the magazine for years until one day, RUE MORGUE finally acquiesced. He figured it took a certain amount of intestinal fortitude to happily sit through the bottom bin movies no one else could stomach. In addition to his column, Last Rites, he also contributes film reviews and features on more crap that only he could have a taste for.
Andrew is the 17-year-old genius who invented 68-sided dice and has made a comfortable living from the patent ever since. He spends his time between Tokyo, Japan and Toronto playing video, board, card, RPG and LARP games in an attempt to once and for all destroy his brain. His hobbies include stalking black-capped chickadees and he has the largest collection of Chinese noodle wrappers in the Western Hemisphere. His main goal in life is to discover where the letter 'S' comes from.
Aaron grew up on comic books, a stack of Alice Cooper records, and every crappy horror movie obtainable in his hometown mecca of unemployment known as Sudbury, Ontario. Here in Toronto, Aaron's obsessions remain the same '80s horror films, Japanese movie monsters, horror punk, and gore-grind - mindless entertainment is the highest form of art for this Catholic boy. He works a variety of boring jobs, and was a student of the University of Toronto for too long. A long-time resident of the Audio Drome, Aaron is RUE MORGUE's resident metal and horror punk expert.
Joseph writes movies, television and comics. When he's not doing that, he writes about movies, television and comics. His screenwriting credits include the thriller Papertrail, starring Michael Madsen and the late Chris Penn, and the television miniseries RoboCop: Prime Directives. His first published work in comics, Revolution on the Planet of the Apes, garnered him a nomination for the prestigious Shuster Award for Outstanding Writer of 2006, and his short horror fiction can be found in two award-winning anthologies, Queer Fear and Queer Fear II. He's been contributing to RUE MORGUE since its fifth issue and plans to be around for its 500th. Twitter
Sean Plummer's gateway drug to horror was TV's Hilarious House of Frightensteinback in the '70s. Since then he has indulged his horror habit by writing for RUE MORGUE since issue six, launching his own dark culture blog (Dark Lord Bunnykins), and was recently hired to blog for RM as well. In the real world, Sean spent fourteen years as editor of Access Magazine (a job that allowed him to interview the likes of Marilyn Manson and Clive Barker), and has freelanced for MSN.ca, Flare, Details, The Toronto Star and CBC Radio.

Possessed with a true affinity for horror, Gary is RUE MORGUE's former Art Director, who was voted Artist of the Year for 2009 in the Best Artist category at the Rondo Hatton Awards. He cut his teeth on The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, Universal Monsters, the gore-soaked flicks of the '80s and the films of Vincent Price. Though Ghoulish Gary actually acquired his first set of markers from a priest at the tender age of six, he immediately employed them to do the Devil's work by devoting his craft to monsters and villains. Gary brings a broad range of artistic influences to the RUE MORGUE chopping block, including R. Crumb, Charles Burns and Basil Gogos. Gary has had the pleasure of working with notable artists such as Daniel Horne, Clive Barker, Basil Gogos and Mike Mignola to name a few. Gary is also the man behind RUE MORGUE's now-infamous logo. While he left RUE MORGUE at the end of 2011 to pursue his own projects, his work continues to appear in the magazine via his monthly art column "The Fright Gallery." Website|Twitter
Jessa is the product of two horror junkies; her father fed her hunger for rotten movies, while her mother fueled her insomnia with gruesome books. Pursuing a life that allowed for as much reading and morbid obsessions as possible, Jessa slinked off to University, majoring in mind games (philosophy) and minoring in insanity (psychology). But her desire for the macabre (and disturbing need to surround herself with stationary) was not satisfied until she wandered into the Rue Morgue House of Horror and fell into an internship in late 2007. After she died in an avalanche of back issues, was buried and re-animated as Audra's office assistant, she became office manager. These days, she no longer haunts our offices, having handed the reins over to Ron McKenzie, but continues to appear in the pages of the magazine as a freelance contributor.

I am having a problem with LILO. It hangs after the letters "LI". I read the MINI-HOWTO, and it says that the first boot loader was able to load the second boot loader but has failed to execute it. Then it goes on to say that the cause is a "geometry mismatch". Any suggestions?
—Jim Mendoza Red Hat 4.2
LILO loads its second-stage loader and then the kernel by accessing disk blocks based on their disk location (CHS: Cylinder, Head, Sector). A "geometry mismatch" is what happens when LILO's map uses CHS values that are not those used by the BIOS; this happens with modern BIOSes that play dirty games with disk geometry to overcome a limitation built in Microsoft programs. Add a "disk =" section to your /etc/lilo.conf to specify disk geometry as Linux sees it.

Linux does not detect my modem at com4 (/dev/cua3, address as 0x02e8) which works fine in Win95. Each time I reboot the system, it automatically detects only serial port number 1 (/dev/cua0, at 0x03f8) and port number 2 (/dev/cua1, at 0x02f8). My modem is internal, non-plug-and-play, 33.6Kbps and manufactured by PC tel.
—Jianzhong Ding Red Hat 4.2
Use setserial to tell the serial driver about the location of your ports. "Plug-and-play" is an ugly specification, and most of the time it creates problems. To look for your PnP devices and configure them, run the isapnp package.
—Alessandro Rubini email@example.com
During startup, there is a long pause while sendmail starts. I can only assume that a request is timing out while trying to contact something on the network (the network, of course, isn't up yet).
Is there a way to shorten the time-out period for sendmail or otherwise correct the situation?
—David Moulton Red Hat 4.0
This may be a problem with your machine name in the /etc/hosts file. Recent versions of sendmail need your name to be a FQDN (including a domain name):
192.168.1.1 foo foo.bar.com
If your name is not fully qualified, sendmail will sleep for about one minute.
—Pierre Ficheux, Lectra Systèmes firstname.lastname@example.com
The pause is most likely a name server lookup that is timing out. Have a look in your maillog (probably /var/log/maillog) and search for lines that look like these two:
Dec 21 18:33:46 keiko sendmail[4547]: gethostbyaddr() failed for 192.168.0.1 Dec 21 18:33:47 keiko sendmail[4553]: starting daemon (8.8.5): SMTP+queueing@00:05:00
What's happening is sendmail is trying to resolve the IP address of the machine it's running on. Name server calls take a relatively long time to timeout, thus the delay you are experiencing. The quick solution is to add an entry for this IP address into /etc/hosts or into your name server configuration. sendmail starts very quickly after you have done this.
—Keith Stevenson email@example.com
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Chad Oulson, who lived in Florida, has been shot dead for texting in a movie theater.
The man who shot him is 71-year-old Curtis Reeves, a former police officer, who decided to fire his gun at Oulson a number of times after his repeated requests that Oulson stop texting during the movie went unheeded. According to witness Charles Cummings, the person Oulson had been texting was his three year old daughter.
It seems that an argument between the two had broken out while they were waiting to watch the film, Lone Survivor, implying that Oulson had been texting during the pre-show or previews. The theater in question was Cobb Grove 16 cinema, which is located in Wesley Chapel.
"Three seconds, four seconds later, the argument starts again," Cummings said."Their voices start going up; there seems to be almost a confrontation. Somebody throws popcorn, I'm not sure who threw the popcorn, and, bang, he was shot."
"It's crazy. I never thought something like this would happen at our theatre," Leny Vega,one of the cinema's employees, said to ABC News.
Oulson's wife, Nicole, was also injured during the altercation, but her injuries aren't life-threatening.

2nd amendment or not, you are still going to have people over there with guns and who love shooting them. Whether it was this or not, there is always going to be some stupid reason for someone getting shot with all those guns around – and a lot of them in the hands of trigger happy crazy men.
Seamus McSeamus
[@Mike S.] I apologize as well. Reading back what I typed (not even noting that I used "to" instead of "too"), I can see how you could have read it differently than I meant it. Bad choice of wording on my part.
Mike S.
[@Seamus McSeamus] Sorry, I took your statement "who are all to eager to kill another human being" as a generalization–I understand, now, you didn't intend it that way.
There always are people–the infamous bottom 10%–who don't do their jobs well or even abuse their positions. Unfortunately, with a position like law enforcement, it's felt all the more. But I would prefer to celebrate the 90% who do their jobs, some even diligently.
The man who did the killing in the theater is former-police officer–no reason that they can't be as crazy as anyone else out there (and perhaps more).
Seamus McSeamus
[@Mike S.]
Where did I generalize? Did I say that most cops engage in this behavior? No, I said it was another example of such behavior, which it is. Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more common to see stories like this. There *are* bad cops out there.
There are plenty of police officers who do their jobs with great pride and professionalism, and would never dream of using their authority to break the law. But there are also those who see nothing wrong with on the spot illegal anal probes, or using lethal force on a schizophrenic kid.
I hope that if either of us ever has need of a police officer, the one(s) who respond come from that first example and not the second.
Mike S.
[@Seamus McSeamus] Wow. With the greatest of respect, I'd hate to have that vastly overgeneralized feeling when my child is being shot at, at a local school, by a deranged student, and the police are doing their jobs in trying to rescue the students, teachers and administration populace . . . .
And I'll take your bet.
Seamus McSeamus
Another example of police and ex-police who are all to eager to kill another human being. Wanna bet he gets off with little or no punishment?
Most homicides using a gun are committed by government agents, criminals, including gangs, and people who choose to end their own life. The first has an extra-Constitutional authority to carry guns, the second selectively ignores or respects proscriptive laws, and the third are committed to ending their lives.
Guns are a multi-purpose tools which can be used to commit homicide, but also for hunting, recreation, and self-defense.
That said, the preferred instrument for murder, and the leading cause of mortality, is the scalpel. Although, that is often used concurrently with lethal injection or dismemberment. It's a choice with horrific consequences that affects over one million human lives annually. It is the only form of murder where mortality exceeds 100%, including nearly all of its intended victims, and a minority of the contractors.
Gotta love that Second Amendment !!
Too bad he didn't have the new iPhone7G with built in .38 Cal shooter.
