We massively revamped our website over at Southern Reel. To celebrate… Cole, Kyle, and I each pulled our top 10 photos from the road last year. Boiling down thousands of photos to yield a top 10 was not an easy task in the slightest. I love each photo for different reasons. It was a struggle… but the process was immensely reflective and incredibly rewarding once the dust settled.
Head over to Southern Reel's blog for the full write-up!
While I was up in Detroit for New Years, I got to experience a fraction of the infamous Packard Automotive Plant amidst a heavy snowstorm.
It was UNREAL to say the least.
Full post soon. Stay tuned…
Eventually I will write up what a wild, crazy, and INSANE journey this trip was. Maybe. Until then, these snaps will have to hold you over.
Video in the works… watch out.

By sealing up cells full of contaminated pollen, bees appear to be attempting to protect the rest of the hive.
Honeybees are taking emergency measures to protect their hives from pesticides, in an extraordinary example of the natural world adapting swiftly to our depredations, according to a prominent bee expert.
Scientists have found numerous examples of a new phenomenon – bees "entombing" or sealing up hive cells full of pollen to put them out of use, and protect the rest of the hive from their contents. The pollen stored in the sealed-up cells has been found to contain dramatically higher levels of pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals than the pollen stored in neighbouring cells, which is used to feed growing young bees.
"This is a novel finding, and very striking. The implication is that the bees are sensing [pesticides] and actually sealing it off. They are recognising that something is wrong with the pollen and encapsulating it," said Jeff Pettis, an entomologist with the US Department of Agriculture. "Bees would not normally seal off pollen."

Hipster Strip Joint To Open On Lower East Side
Time - We're actually surprised this didn't exist already. (Or maybe it was just so underground, we wouldn't have heard of it.) New York Magazine reports that the opening-any-minute joint, the Westway in New York, will be the latest mainstream thing that mainstream-be-damned hipsters embrace. For the irony of it all, of course. Predictably, owners Matt Kliegman and Carlos Quirarte maintain that the place will not be a strip club. "We're not strip-joint owners. We're not strip-joint guys," Quirarte told NY Mag's Alice Gregory, who noted that he was "mere feet from a polished pole" as he said it. They explain that since the property used to house a series of strip clubs, they are simply honoring the tradition of the place by offering "male go-go dancing on Sundays and female topless go-go dancing the following night."
Ohhhh looks who wants to stare at tits and ass now? Look who wants to come down from their Ivory Tower and motorboat some strippers? Fucking hipsters. Hip-ocrtical bastards. See what I did there? You can't have it both ways. Like if you want to talk down to me because I like to drink Bud Light on the Upper East Side and listen to rap music, then you better spend your time doing hipster shit like turning dead mice into mini humans. Don't let me catch you enjoying a lap dance to Ke$ha.
I can't wait for the excuses hipsters will spew about this place. These two owners can't even bring themselves to say the place is a strip club. Like its physically impossible for them to be apart of something that the general population enjoys. Good luck telling the world that T&A is "something really cool you've probably never heard of it" you assholes.

When your first major appearance in the Hip-Hop arena is a performance at the Core DJ Retreat, one of the music industry's largest platforms to showcase hot talent, it is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is found in the ability to rock a stage in front of an influential crowd, the curse is that one's expectations going forward are beyond measure. However, for gifted Mexican rapper Cartel MGM, the size of his audience and venue may change, but his grit, grind and hustle remain the same. Only one year into the rap game and already blazing, Cartel has collaborated with Mizay Entertainment's Waka Flocka Flame on the street-certified mixtape Salute or Shoot Me 2.5 hosted by DJ Ace and Trap-A-Holics. While the title may suggest conflicting meanings, it was produced with the intent of having a positive impact towards the elimination of violence within the Mexican and African-American communities; a project Cartel is proud to have initiated. Born in East Los Angeles, CA, which is known for its rampant gang activity, Cartel's family moved to Atlanta, GA to build a more quality life free from the inner-city perils; but while the youngster's address was new, his mentality wasn't. Cartel was living the fast life- all gas and no brakes; that is until he experienced a personal tragedy. "I lost one of my homie's to some nonsense, which is actually how I got my start. He was so passionate about music it's like when he died, I inherited his motivation. So I picked up where he left off and been keeping his spirit alive ever since. Now that I'm here, it's no turning back." The 21 year-old, who counts artists and groups such as Spanish lyricist SPM, Dr. Dre, Eazy E and NWA as influences because he connected to their music, is looking to do the same with his fan base on Courtesy of Cartel, his sophomore mixtape. "I named it that because I'm giving the gift of music to the people so they can relate to me and hopefully be that artist they can see themselves in." Listeners can expect sounds from some of the industry's most noted producers including DC Da Beat Man and Trap Hitaz, as well as 100% Cartel, although depending on the track and his mood, often varies. He can go from zero-to-crunk in seconds, one of the many reasons why Mizay Entertainment CEO Debra Antney inked Cartel to a management deal. "He's a special artist that people will definitely be hearing a lot from," says Antney. "I take pride in picking winners and so far, my track record speaks for itself." Cartel is now positioned to share his "wins, growing pains and life lessons" with the world. Honoring his Mexican heritage as his strength and having some of the most interestingly complex lyrics since Eminem, Cartel officially carries his own weight. Cartel MGM is currently housed at Mizay Entertainment Inc., a talent management powerhouse, founded in 2007. Mizay Entertainment under the direction of Debra Antney is responsible for catapulting the careers of Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj, OJ Da Juiceman, Waka Flocka Flame, and more. Known for its results and impact in changing the music game, Mizay Entertainment is dedicated to evaluating the careers of talented entertainers. Equally important are the company's philanthropic efforts set forth by cultivating relationships, creating opportunities and investing in the community.

DVD Review: 10MPH
In 2004, Hunter Weeks and Josh Caldwell quit their cubicle jobs with the dream of riding a Segway scooter (or "human transporter") across the country. What started out as a half-assed notion soon becomes an epic journey, from Seattle to Boston. Joined by a Segway nut named Alon and Hunter's twin sister Gannon, they cross the nation in slow motion, with plenty of time to see the sights and meet other people who have tuned in to their passions and dropped out of the rat race.
It's a documentary, so it was limited to documenting what happened. Weeks does a good job of wringing some suspense out of whether they will make it, and inspirational lessons out of the journey itself. For example, Segway didn't support the film initially, but got behind it in the end. As did several corporate sponsors as they went along.
Not that these sponsors paid for the film. The movie was funded by credit card debt and, when that ran out, retirement accounts.* Despite mechanical failures; a jerk cop in Orland Park, Illinois; and a kidney stone, they made their 4,000 mile journey in 100 days.
At one point, as a tribute to Supersize Me, the team stops at a McDonald's. I wish they had gone even further at times injecting their personalities into the story as Morgan Spurlock does. The character that stands out most is one who wasn't even on the journey, an urban philosopher who goes by the sobriquet j.fred. j.fred was the one with the initial inspired idea of riding a Segway across the country, and a visit with him, his wife and his newborn baby is the movie's emotional climax.
For a limited time, you can watch the entire movie free on YouTube. It looks like they also got TV distribution on the Documentary Channel. The DVD of it, which includes some nice bonus features like out-takes (lots of Segway crashes) and commentary, is available for as low as $7.77 -- or more: you pick the price you want to pay. Their website is a great example of what indie film websites should be.
Weeks' next film, in which j.fred supposedly plays a larger role, is called 10 Yards and is about fantasy football. I also have a review copy of that, and am looking forward to watching it soon. Check back.
* I had a credit card-funded movie double feature yesterday, along with ...Around. I just want to stress and re-stress how not recommended this method of funding a film is, as you'll see demonstrated if you watch 10 MPH.

Speaker Wire Cable
Speaker wire performance is gauged by Resistance, Capacitance, and Inductance. The shorter a wire is, the better, as resistance increases with length. As long as the resistance is kept to less than 5% of the speaker impedance, it will suffice for home use. The resistance of speaker connection cable in 16-gauge or heavier wire has no detectable effect in runs of 50 feet or less in most loudspeaker connections. The lower the impedance of the speaker, the greater the impact of the resistance of the speaker wire will have. High power car audio systems using 2 ohm speaker circuits need relatively thick cables. The gauge sizes in AWG (American wire gauge) reduce as the wire gets larger. Thicker wires in a cable reduce resistance. Better purification of copper reduces oxidation and results in more consistent conductivity throughout the length of cable used.

Register A Company in Australia
To register a Pty Ltd company could not be easier. The whole company registration process takes about 20 mins and is done fully online.
How to register a company
Company registration in Australia is a very easy and straight forward process. Provided that you consulted your lawyer or accountant and need to register a company limited – it can all be done on-line.
These are the two government websites providing business registration requirements in Australia – www. asic.gov.auand Business in Australia – www. business.gov.au.
Company Limited Business Structure
Before going ahead with a company registration, you need to decide what business structure best suits your need. Sole trader, partnership or a company. To register a company limited by shares (private Pty Ltd company) all you need is your name and address, the rest is done online. A private company limited by shares can provide an extra layer of security and flexibility, as business grows. A company limited by shares is a separate entity fom the owner. The onwner owns whares and works for the company the same way he or she would work for anybody else.
Company Registration Services
There are dozens of online company registration services, most of them provide similar services:
- Direct link to ASIC – 20 minutes turn around time for registration documents
- Companies can be registered 24/7
- Online company application service verified the data as you enter it
- You receive share registers, certificates, constitution and opening minutes.
Once more, before going ahead with a company registration, consult your accountant or lawyer.
Service Availability: Most of the services reviewed by "Aus Business Review" are provided by Australian based companies and organisations and available in different Australian states and territories. These include New South Wales (Sydney, Newcastle), Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast), South Australia (Adelaide), Victoria (Melbourne, Ballarat), Western Australia (Perth, Albany, Mandurah, Bunbury, Port Hedland, Kalgoorlie), Northern Territory (Darwin, Alice Springs), Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) and Tasmania (Hobart).
Looking For More Information?
Make sure to explore other AusBusiness Review articles in the Start Up category or contact us to suggest a website or a service to review.
The review "Register A Company in Australia" was last updated on 10/6/09.
17 User Reviews
There is a review of www. registeracompany.com.au posted here: http://www.ausbusiness.net/review/registeracompany-com-au-australian-company-formation/
It's amazing how soon the application is processed and how quickly you get all the documents for the company – Certificate of Registration, Opening Minutes Share Certificates, Company Constitution etc. The trick is then to maintain the company information up to date and make sure ASIC is updated of any changes.
It is very important to select the type of business you want to incorporate as. And even more important you need to open up at least one bank account for your company. If you company has a finance arm and a separate consulting unit it would be wise to create and maintain 2 separate banking accounts and NEVER COMMINGLE ASSETS!. If you mix find from each account you risk putting all your companies liquid assets in jeopardy. Good information, I just wanted to add an important note that I learned the hard way.
I think this is one of the better company registration services around. We are a legal services organisation which provides advice on the set up of companies to small businesses and we have found that they site does the necessary job of setting up a company with all of the correct documentation without the expensive costs of a lawyer involved from the very beginning. It is an excellent service. I think the Directors of potential new companies can benefit from it a lot.
I think the idea of registering online is great, but feel if you are using a lawyer anyway then they could do this for you. Not sure about the price implications with this though. I would personally sleep easier at night if i had a personal contact i could call upon if i had a problems or queries.
Great article.
Hi Veit,
Another link is http://asic.gov.au/asic/asic.nsf/asic+formsdisplayW?readform&code=201 which also shows the cost for the various types of companies.
Its cheaper that registering with a site, but the disadvantage is that all you get from ASIC is a certificate of registration. None of the required documents that are required by law, eg consent forms, share registries and share certificates are prepared for you, you need to do it all yourself. All the mentioned sites will do all this for you based upon your answers. If you're willing to do it yourself you can save yourself some cash though.
http://www.ecompanies.com.au -
It is true Dan you can save some money but we have had many clients that have gone down that route and ended up having to have our service reissue them with the correct legal documents that you mentioned may be required.
Not to mention the additional time and these days with costs coming down so much it seems crazy to not get all the legal documents.
You can view our service at http://www.alshelf.com.au
The other thing to consider these days with some companies that are offering registrations is too make sure that the legal documents are updated and cover what you require. We again have had clients that once they read the constitution that it did not offer them the flexibility they were after so they had to adopt a Constitution. And whats worse the company they did it through was basically just a software system with no real people on hand to be of service so they found it a very frustrating experience.
So just make sure that the service you choose provides quality legal documents as well as help on hand if required.
Richard Muir
I went with http://www.AustralianCompany.com.au.
Excellent service. Really good support. i would use them again.

This used to be one of my favourite shower gels about fifteen or so years ago (?). Unfortunately, the last time I purchased this, Jason's obviously re-formulated their shower gels. The scent of the rosewater, once my absolute favourite, is no where near the same. It used to be one of the loveliest, most unique scents; now it just smells generic. They also had a matching lotion which was at the time called "Old-fashioned" rosewater, but that has changed as well.
Jason's shower gel generally is still a good buy for the price. I still like the apricot, tea tree, and aloe, but I find I use this less often now. I don't like when you are charged more for inferior ingredients in the formula. Packaging is still fine; the pump is handy.
UPDATE: Recently repurchased after having not seen it in stores for awhile, thought I'd give it another chance. Seems more like the old formula, also the aloe is as good as it was before. Maybe had a bad batch, or enough complaints made Jason's return to the old classic. These two body washes are still among my favourites in terms of cleansing and conditioning They are also very economical.
Oh my this stuff is heaven! It lathers up very well and smells divine. I smell pretty for a good while afterwards, too. The bottle is large and has a pump on it, which makes it super easy to dispense and helps avoid wasting the product. It's a bit pricey, I paid about $16, but it's huge and very worth it to me.
No big secret~I love bathing. I am addicted to it. With that comes a plethora of body washes and soaps in my expansive bathroom. When I saw the GIANT bottle of JASON Body Wash Rosewater and Glycerin, I jumped at it like a hungry tiger. I love rosewater, and I love body wash. This bottle (jeeze Idk it's gotta be a liter of soap!) will be in my shower for months.
This body wash make my KP prone skin smooth and leaves it feeling moist. I like to use it as a shampoo, and the rose smell isn't lingering or cloying. I am certain however if it weren't half price at the time I pounced I would not have bought it.
This product is free of parabens & various skin harming DNA altering junk, so enjoy!

For a SLS Free Body soap, this is a good one. The scent is very light, only slightly rose smelling. It lathers well and leaves me clean, so that's pretty much what it's supposed to do. It does not dry out my skin like sulfates which is a bonus, I now use less body moisturizer. The bottle will last forever and it's in a pump for easy dispensing. I do like Jason's Products overall and this is a good one.
One thing Jason doesn't do well is scents. They aren't bad per se, just boring and not particularly pleasant. Rosewater is no different, but I like it enough over the other scents. But really, that is about the only negative about this product. It suds really well, even without sodium lauryl sulfate. It isn't drying or iritating, contains no parabens, and isn't tested on animals. It isn't exactly the rock star of the body wash world, but you can't beat it's practicality and price (about $12.00 for 30 ounces).
I love how creamy this feels and the lasting fragrance. It foams up really well, especially for something without SLS. Not as great when I tried it as a bubble bath, it made kind of wimpy bubbles. So far: not drying, no irritation.

I really like this product! A little goes a very long way, creating MASSES of creamy lather, oodles of bubbles with a lovely fragrance. Leaves my usually dry skin feeling soooo soft! I use it as a bubble bath too.

I thought this was an okay product. The scent wasn't as prominent as I hoped it would be, but it was still a light, pretty, girly scent. It did lather well and rinsed away cleanly. The fact that it's SLS-free is definitely a plus. I'd repurchase, but only if I couldn't find the Lavender, which I found much more pleasing.
I've tried their soaps and body washes and I think the soaps are more emollient. But ultimately, I don't care for the smells. There is a undertone to their stuff that is the same, no matter what scent you use, and I don't care for it. I find the Apricot to be the least offensive -- the Rose is nice, but the undertone is stronger to me and I think it's more drying. I hated the smell of the Aloe. I also found that my skin itched with these.
Everything about it - the fragrance (soft roses, very delicate and fresh), the feel of my skin after using it (not drying) and the fact that it is pure and organic. I am so totally looking forward to trying out the rosewater body lotion now. I actually love looking at the bottle also, it's large with a pump - a steal at £7! I love the smell of me and my bathroom after taking a shower! Look forward to bathroom time with this product in there!

Our most effective nitrogen (N) fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, has become extremely hard to find in most areas. It's been used to make explosives and could soon come under federal regulation, requiring too much paperwork for dealers to want to stock the product.
Growers are increasingly turning to urea and urea-based formulations to meet their N fertilizer needs. Although there can be substantial N losses when urea is used for forage production, new research is proving that growers can cut these losses and make urea more effective.
Ammonium nitrate fertilizer provides N in a form that the plant can readily use. When applied, it splits into its chemical halves: ammonium and nitrate.
The nitrate is quickly taken up by roots while the ammonium latches onto soil particles, is taken up by roots or ultimately is converted by soil bacteria into nitrate and absorbed up by roots. There's little risk that any will escape as gas.
Urea, on the other hand, has to be broken down to form ammonium, and a substantial amount of N from urea is often lost to the atmosphere as ammonia gas. University of Georgia research has recorded ammonia losses as high as 48% of the applied N. Other research shows that urea N losses are typically around 20% of total N applied.
With N fertilizer prices being as high as they currently are, these losses are a major economic drain on profitability. It also makes for poor stewardship of our natural resources.
Recently, several so-called "enhanced-efficiency" products have been introduced to the market to curb these N losses. Some act by controlling the breakdown of urea to ammonium – specifically, the rate of urease activity. Others create a barrier, such as a polymer coating, that slowly allows urea encapsulated inside to moisten and seep out.
University researchers around the U.S. have begun comparing these products. We recently looked at three on bermudagrass hayfields harvested four times a year in a multi-year study at two Georgia locations. They were Agrotain and Nutrisphere-N urease inhibitors and ESN Smart Nitrogen, a polymer-coated urea product.
We measured ammonia volatilization loss in field studies using an acid trap. As expected, we saw very high losses – an average of 17% of applied N – in areas where urea was applied. Agrotain and ESN Smart Nitrogen prevented a majority of the volatilization. Nutrisphere-N didn't effectively reduce ammonia loss in our study.
With ammonia loss controlled, forage yielded similar to that treated with ammonium nitrate. For example, field areas with Agrotain-treated urea produced an average of 11% more yield than areas provided conventional urea – about the same yield if ammonium nitrate were applied.
In the initial studies, ESN Smart Nitrogen produced lower yields than urea because it released N too slowly for our fast-growing bermudagrass. In other experiments, we have found that, when conventional urea is blended with the ESN Smart Nitrogen, yields can rival those of ammonium nitrate-treated crops. Forage yields were not different between areas treated with conventional urea or Nutrisphere-N-treated urea.
Work with these fertilizer treatments will continue. These results are promising and the current cost structure appears to be beneficial. Most of these products add only 5-8% to the cost of urea (60¢/lb of N in Georgia). Spending to prevent up to a 20% atmospheric loss of N is more cost-effective than just adding more N to make up for that loss.

Sat, 05/01/2010 - 6:11pm
I was shocked and am still beyond angry at the Board of the PTC dog park for goign to bed with Sit Means Sit Dog Trainers....these people use shock collars and aversive training on dogs.

They will not get another single dime of my money nor will my dogs enter the place so long as that deplorable company is painted all over their website. I invite you to get mad and write a letter. Shame on the PTC Dog Park. Shame on you.

"Initial Causes of Fetal Death" is a standardized method to assign probable and possible causes of death of stillbirths based on information routinely collected during prenatal care and the clinical evaluation of fetal death. Six broad categories of causes of death are accounted for, including maternal medical conditions, obstetric complications, maternal or fetal hematologic conditions, fetal genetic, structural and karyotypic abnormalities, placental infection, fetal infection or both and placental pathologic findings. « Back | The Newsroom »

Line-Item Veto Headed For Clinton's Desk - March 28, 1996 |
Clinton Becomes First President With Line-Item VetoWASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Jan. 2) -- With the New Year, President Bill Clinton possesses what no other U.S. president has had: the ability to pencil out specific budget items he considers wasteful. But six lawmakers have filed suit, saying it gives the president too much power. Clinton's new budget authority took effect on New Year's Day, but his first real opportunity to use it could come later this year, when the new Congress begins to send him spending bills. The line-item veto permits the president to block specific spending measures without rejecting an entire piece of legislation. Forty-four governors already have the power. When Congress approved the line-item veto last year, Clinton and his Republican challenger, Bob Dole, agreed it would not go into effect until Jan. 1, 1997, taking it out of election-year politics. At the time, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) called it "the most significant delegation of authority by the Congress to the president since the Constitution was ratified in 1789." But opponents say it surrendered too much power, and six lawmakers today filed a federal lawsuit asking a judge to consider the balance of power issue. "This is constitutional nonsense," Rep. David Skaggs (D-Colo.) told The Associated Press. "It's not only unconstitutional, but it's unwise because it gives one individual extraordinary power that's now held by the people's representatives in Congress." A hearing on the legal challenge could come in early February. The White House, however, said the legislation was drafted carefully to avoid a successful legal challenge. A lawsuit by unionized federal workers already was rebuffed, when a judge ruled that workers had failed to show they had been harmed by the legislation. Presidential aides say the president is eager to use the line-item veto to target tax loopholes, special interest measures and pork barrel projects. The only real guide to how Clinton will use his new power is the experience of some governors. Michigan Gov. John Engler used the line-item veto in 1991 to eliminate a $1.8 million deficit, targeting items from virtually all departments in state government. Another prominent Republican governor, Wisconsin's Tommy Thompson, has issued more than 1,500 vetoes, and displays a six-foot yellow pencil in his office, a token of thanks from tight-fisted Republican legislators. Last summer, New Jersey Gov. Christie Todd Whitman axed $112,000 for a commission that worked on Vietnam veterans' health issues. As with any veto, Congress could overrride the president with a two-thirds majority. The line-item veto law lapses on Jan. 1, 2005 unless Congress renews it, giving members a chance to evaluate how it is working. The first known line-item veto bill was introduced in Congress during the 1870s and there were more than 200 attempts to pass it before it was approved last year. The version that passed gives the president the authority to cancel individual spending items, limited tax breaks or new entitlement programs from larger bills already signed into law. Unlike many governors, though, he cannot rewrite specific spending items. |

One works as a cook. Another as a karate teacher. They are accused of war crimes in Guatemala — yet they've been living in the US for years.
The suspects
The massacre in the village of Las Dos Erres has become one of the most notorious from Guatemala's civil war, which was the longest-running conflict in the Americas in the 20th century and claimed the highest casualty rate. The vast majority of those killed were indigenous Mayan civilians and a U.N.-sponsored truth commission termed the war a genocide.
While some of the alleged killers from Las Dos Erres remained in Guatemala, others appeared to disappear into thin air. They headed north, to what they thought would be safe and comfortable lives in the United States, law enforcement officials say and documents confirm.
The four men under investigation in the U.S. have left varying degrees of public traces of their lives here.
One of the suspects is a well-known karate instructor from Riverside, Calif. Witnesses in Guatemala have told prosecutors there that the man, Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes, smashed civilians in the head with a sledgehammer and threw a hand grenade into a well full of living and recently murdered civilians.
Of the four men, Orantes had the highest rank in the Kaibiles, the Guatemalan special forces. He was a second lieutenant. He is also the one of the four who has left the most public traces since his time in the Guatemalan military, largely thanks to his prominence as a karate master. (Orantes appears to have dropped his last name and now goes by Sosa, which may have helped him remain unnoticed in spite of his relatively high public profile.)
Orantes' father appears to have founded a school of karate in Guatemala named Sosa-Kai. On the organization's website there is a photograph of father and son wearing what appears to be Japanese robes. "The respect and admiration toward other martial art organizations will be one of our characteristics as a mystical organization, which respects all human beings," says some of the text on the website. Until recently, Sosa-Kai appears to have been based in Canada, according to the website.
The website also claims that Sosa-Kai has trained the U.S. Marines who guard the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City, as well as various units of the Guatemalan army, including the Presidential Guard.
Orantes appears to have been in the United States as early as 1985, less than two years after he allegedly participated in the massacre at Las Dos Erres. Court records indicate he got married in San Francisco on May 24, 1985. He appears to have then moved to Canada. He married again in 1997 in the Bronx, N.Y., and filed for divorce from his second wife in Riverside County, Calif., in January 2006.
Another suspect is a short-order cook at a restaurant in Florida, echoing his role as combat cook for the unit. His name is Gilberto Jordan, sources and documents confirm. (Update: Nicole Navas, a spokeswoman for ICE in Miami, said Jordan was arrested this morning. The criminal complaint charges Jordan with unlawful procurement of citizenship, a law enforcement source said. In other words, the allegation is that Jordan lied about his past to get U.S. citizenship. The maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.)
Records show that he lives in Delray Beach, Fla. He was born in 1956 and is a registered Democrat who has voted in primary and general elections since he registered in 1999. He is married to a woman named Maria, who was born in 1959. They own their own three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, which they bought in 2002 for $149,900.
The third man, Rios — the former School of the Americas instructor — lives in a gang-infested neighborhood in Riverside. Witnesses in Guatemala have told prosecutors there that Rios raped young girls during the massacre. The girls were then murdered, according to witnesses.
It is unclear what Rios' life has been like in the United States
The fourth man is Alonzo, the alleged abductor of the 5-year-old boy Cristales. Alonzo is an illegal alien who worked as a day laborer in Houston, law enforcement sources say. He was arrested by immigration agents on Feb. 22 in a parking lot in Houston, according to court records. Witnesses have told GlobalPost and prosecutors in Guatemala that Alonzo guarded women and children — including Cristales — in one of the village's two churches before they were passed on to be killed by other soldiers and thrown into the well.

text: I recently separated from the Marine Corps and filed for eligibility to use my MGIB. My plan was to take my MGIB and use it for the 36 months and transfer to the Post 911 for the 12 months after. Those plans are long gone because I received a letter yesterday claiming that although I qualify under category 1, I can not receive my MGIB because I did not elect it upon enlistment. I joined the Marines as a reservist and when I was in bootcamp, my instructors handed everyone a piece of paper to elect the MGIB. My paper was snatched from me and I was told that I was a reservist and that I didn't rate. After almost a year in the Reserves I augmented to active duty. I LAT moved and went to my MOS school. While there I noticed my $1200 contribution was not coming out of my pay. I brought the matter up and was told to contact my IPAC at my first duty station. That's exactly what I did when as soon as I got to Okinawa. I was told that they would take care of it and that the pay should start coming out of my check. After it didn't, I went back and I did this about 4 or 5 times and every time I was told it was taken care of. The pay never came out. The last time I visited the IPAC the new rule that there would no longer be a $1200 contribution was in play and I was told not to worry because we no longer had to make the $100 a month contribution and that I am automatically eligible as long as I served my time honorably. I was discharged as a Sgt honorably on Apr 29, 2011. Excited, about starting a new chapter of my life and going to school only to find out that I don't get my MGIB. What can I do to prove that I was never given the opportunity to elect the MGIB and that I tried to make my contribution, that I was told repeatedly that everything was taken care of, that I trusted another Marine when I was told it was taken care of? Whose responsibility was it to give me the piece of paper that allowed me to elect it. My recruiter? My drill instructor? My command? Where and when was I given the opportunity to say yes or no to my MGIB? And why was my IPAC so confident that I was "good to go". I feel a severe injustice! I am helpless. Sure, I can probably elect my Post 911 and change my plans for school. But I'm a Marine and I refuse to accept that this has happened to me. If anyone can shed some light on what I can do to get my MGIB and to find out what went wrong so it doesn't happen to anyone else. PLEASE, tell me!

Australian, 02/11/1946, World Champion 1980
Tough, determined and profoundly unsentimental, Alan Jones gave the Williams team its first drivers' and constructors' championships in 1980 through a combination of sheer hard work and natural talent. In doing so he became Williams' model for the 'ideal' driver, and its debateable whether Frank Williams and Patrick Head have ever found another driver with quite such a good fit to the team.
Jones fought very hard to even get into Formula One racing. The son of a famous rugby player and a natural sportsman, Jones began racing in his native Australia but found himself short of funds and opportunities. His reaction was typically brave and bloody-minded, upping sticks and relocating to Britain in the late 'sixties, where he was able to talk his way into various drives, moving up to Formula Three.
He made his Formula One debut in the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix driving a second-hand Hesketh Ford. It was an inauspicious start - he qualified in 20th place and retired on lap 15. But as the season progressed he moved into a Hill Ford and got noticed with a strong fifth place performance at the German Grand Prix. It was enough for an offer to drive for the Surtees team for 1976. It proved an eventful season, including seven championship points and an eventual 15th place finish, but also various arguments with team boss John Surtees. Jones left at the end of the year.
At which point fate's crueller side intervened. Shadow driver Tom Pryce was killed in a bad crash at the 1977 South African Grand Prix and Jones was drafted in as replacement. He put in several strong performances, including taking a brilliant maiden victory from Niki Lauda at the rain-soaked Austrian Grand Prix.
For 1978 Jones signed with Williams, where his combative, dogged personality found a perfect match in Frank Williams and designer Patrick Head. By 1979 the car was competitive and, despite four victories, Jones finished third in the championship due to a string of DNFs.
1980, by contrast, was Jones' year. He took his Williams to five victories and emerged champion, pushing Nelson Piquet into second place. Jones became the first Australian to win the championship since Jack Brabham in 1966. It was also the first of Williams' nine subsequent Constructors' Championships.
Yet even as the Championship champagne was drying, Jones' star was already descending. He lost out in '81 due to poor reliability and arguments with team mate Carlos Reutemann. He retired to Australia at the end of the season, although he subsequently made two re-appearances in 1983 and 1985, scoring points as late as the 1986 season.
Jones has subsequently raced in Australian touring cars and at the gruelling Bathurst 24 Hour Race. He now commentates on Formula One racing for Australian television.

Talk about having a captive audience. If comedian Jim Florentine made contact with the millions of Americans who signed onto the Do Not Call list, invited them to his gig, and even a quarter of them showed, he'd be doing really well. Problem is he can't call them! But those folks are definitely the types who'd relate to his album Jim Florentine Is Terrorizing Telemarketers, featuring mock calls that fulfill the fantasies of many. It's only fitting that Florentine lends his voice to the Comedy Central series Crank Yankers. He also appears periodically on the Howard Stern show dishing about current events. Since it's Good Friday, you might need a laugh, so see him in the flesh tonight at 8:30 or tomorrow and Sunday at various times at the Miami Improv, 3390 Mary St., Coconut Grove. Tickets range from $13 to $22. Call 305-441-8200. (NK)

Easter is a time for bunnies and colored eggs, chocolates, and playing dress-up. Unfortunately much of the fun stuff has been co-opted by malls, where people in bunny suits inadvertently scare little children. Why not go where real bunnies dwell, where real grass grows, and real Easter eggs hide behind shrubs and fences? The Little Farm, a jovial petting zoo, is hosting its annual Easter Egg Hunt with four separate starting times, pony rides, and a chance to get real with the Easter Bunny. The first hunt starts at 9:00 a.m. at the Little Farm, 22400 SW 134th Ave. Admission is eight dollars for children and six bucks for adults. Reservations are required. Call 305-258-3186. (JCR)

Yep, it's noon on Easter Sunday and you've already inhaled most of the contents of that enormous Easter basket you made for your kids. Treating yourself to all those treats has made your blood sugar skyrocket and now you're bouncing off the walls. In fact you're beginning to feel a bit nauseated. Maybe you should take yourself over to a church and contemplate your loathsome gluttony, not to mention this day when it is said Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Or maybe you should just go to the movies and catch the 3:00 showing of The Passion of the Christ? Once you sit through more than two hours of graphic, stomach-turning violence, you'll never eat candy again. (NK)

He was the impish songwriter who left his indelible mark on the Seventies with tunes such as "We've Only Just Begun," "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song," and "Rainy Days and Mondays," not to mention being a guest on talk shows, starring in three Smokey and the Bandit flicks, and playing a recurring role on the CBS soap The Bold and the Beautiful. She was the big-voiced belter who scored hits like "Don't Cry Out Loud," "Midnight Blue," and "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" during the same era. Neither has had a big-selling tune in years, so what better idea than to join forces and go on tour. Paul Williams and Melissa Manchester have done just that, hitting the road with a program they call Stories and Songs. Expect plenty of both when the curtain rises tonight at 7:30 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets range from $20 to $50. Call 954-462-0222. (NK)

Think Finland and renowned operatic sopranos don't automatically come to mind. Maybe something more like reindeer stew. But there are some famous Finns, really! Architect Alvar Aalto, composer Jean Sibelius, gift-giving mack daddy Santa Claus, and soprano Soile Isokoski. We'd like to tell you Santa Claus is coming to town, but it is still April, so you'll just have to be satisfied with a visit by Isokoski, who will perform works by Bernstein, Strauss, Scarlatti, and even fellow countryman Sibelius with pianist Marita Viitasalo at 8:00 tonight. Presented by the Concert Association of Florida, the concert goes on at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets range from $20 to $75.

That which we call a bowling pin by any other name would tumble as sweet. Well, maybe. At the Art Bowl Auction, a fundraising event to benefit the Children's Home Society Florida Chapter, bowling pins become works of art. Not only will they be decorated by local artists such as Romero Britto and Lebo, but the participants can create their own masterpieces from the old pins. It's all part of the annual event sponsored by the Advertising Federation of Greater Miami. Of course, if you must smash the pins, you can bowl a few games and watch them fly. The event begins at 7:00 p.m. at Don Carter's Kendall Lanes, 13600 N. Kendall Dr. Admission is $120 for a team of six players. Call 786-223-4463. (JCR)

The Scene It? franchise is hardly limited to your television set. It's had numerous incarnations with different themes on different platforms, and the original Scene It? has finally arrived on the App Store! Phew. Now we don't have to look at sparkly vampires to get our Scene It? fix. (Yes, Scene It? Twilight, I'm looking at you—why'd you come out before this one?) In Scene It? Movies, your knowledge of contemporary movies is tested through a lengthy string of trivia questions, which come in a myriad of forms. It's fun and the variety of question types is great, but a lack of gameplay options and a limited number of questions and movies coupled with constant advertisements means that the fun wears off quickly.
You have two options in Scene It? Movies: a regular solo game or "Movie Pass." In solo mode, the game fires a series of trivia questions at you. Not only do you have to get them right to earn points, but you also earn bonus points based on how long it takes you. (Now if only there was an integrated high score board…oh, well.) There really is a lot of variety when it comes to question types. Some are straight-up multiple choice, while others will ask you to put movies in order of release or to match different actors and actresses up based on who they played. Mini-games are present, too. In one, you have to find the "correct ticket" out of dozens on screen. In another, you have to guess the movie based on a kid's sketch or a pixel-art animation. My favorite part is when the app plays a video clip and quizzes you mercilessly afterward—watching clips from favorite movies like Forest Gump is great, and the quality is excellent because they're stored within the app.
The movies are relatively recent—mostly from the past decade or two. Paramount and Universal movies seem to be the only ones included. The variety is pretty good, but unfortunately it grows stale after a while as there's a finite amount of content. While updates might bring more movies and questions in the future, I wouldn't count on it; I'd expect Screenlife to release another themed app (ahem, Twilight) or DLC packs instead.
"Movie Pass" mode is a cross between solo mode and a game of hot potato. Yes, I'm serious, so you need to make sure your friends are either careful with your iDevice or that you've got a solid case for the thing. In this so-called multiplayer mode, players take turns holding your iPhone or iPod. When it's your turn, you keep getting questions (similar to the ones in solo mode) until you get one right, at which point you pass it to the next player. A secret timer goes off "randomly," and whoever's holding the iDevice is out. Unfortunately, without anyway to see what the other person is answering, it's not as fun in a group setting as the board game would be, and there are no options whatsoever. So, for example, if you're playing with a huge group, the person in fourth or fifth place is likely to get knocked out just because the timer doesn't vary that much. The game needs a better, more participatory multiplayer/party mode. Not only is the current one a bit lackluster, but some of us don't like to risk our precious electronics in a game of hot potato!Here's my biggest gripe of all, however: the constant push to buy the featured movies, either through Amazon or iTunes. This wouldn't annoy me normally (hey, advertising is everywhere, folks) but the "Buy Movie" button is exactly where you think the "go to next question" button should be. A banner ad or two would be fine, but having the constant trick there for every single question gets annoying.
Scene It? Movies is actually a decent port of the franchise. The format translates well, and many of the questions take advantage of the iPhone's unique characteristics. But I just couldn't get into it. Without a group of friends to enjoy the game with (and by "enjoy" I don't mean throwing my iPod at each other), it just isn't as fun. Besides that, having to constantly remind myself to NOT push the "Buy Movie" button was annoying, and the questions themselves get old after a few playthroughs, even if there's a good amount of data bundled with the app. Fans of the franchise will probably have a lot of fun, but other will find that the shine quickly wears away.

Guillermo Bert: Encoded Textiles explores the latest generation of bar codes (QR codes), their capacity to hold 200 times more information than traditional bar codes, and the graphic similarities between the bar codes and the textiles of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. A Los Angeles-based artist who was born in Chile, Bert uses high-tech software and industrial processes to transcribe the stories, poems, and narratives of six influential leaders of indigenous communities into QR codes, which are then re-created into tapestries by weavers from those communities. Click here to view these QR codes and read their embedded text.
The exhibition examines technology, language, cultural heritage, and capitalism seeking to open a dialogue about the effects of globalization on the world's indigenous population. Bert's innovative use of an advanced technology is to record the history of a marginalized culture, so that these stories do not fade away. The tapestries from these communities are traditionally filled with symbols and images with meaning, but have not included full stories such as the ones preserved and archived as part of Encoded Textiles. Inspired by the bar code's universality, Bert translates political, religious, social, and artistic entities into patterns of elongated vertical bands woven into tapestries. The tapestries are created with natural wool and dyes that are either made, bought or traded locally, using different sized threads, stitching techniques and distinctive colors.
Guillermo Bert was born in Chile in 1959, studied art at the Catholic University of Santiago and then relocated to reside in Los Angeles. For the past two decades his art has been widely exhibited and collected by numerous museums in the United States and South America. Bert was Art Director for the Los Angeles Times for five years and taught mixed media art at Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, California (2000–2005).
This exhibition is supported by Orrin Addis, Karen and Ted Coyne, Michael Weber, Carrie Adrian, and the PMCA Board of Directors.

Using Guillermo Bert's Encoded Textiles as a point of inspiration, 4th grade-level Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) students completed weaving projects as part of My Masterpieces: Discovering Art in My Community.

Nature photographer Brian Call made the grisly discovery at about 11:45 p.m. He had spent that Sunday evening hiking the boardwalk that snakes into the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, spying alligators through the footlong lens of his camera. After slogging for a while off the trail, he nearly got stuck in a mud hole with two eight-foot gators nearby. That would be the story he would tell his wife, he thought, as he began the drive home to Pembroke Pines, rolling north through the black tunnel that remote State Road 29 becomes at night. But suddenly his headlights illuminated a small body crumpled on the center line. He slammed on the brakes. What on earth was a youngster doing out here in the middle of the darkness?
She was trying to cross the damn road, that's what. Florida panthers cross State Road 29 all the time because it cuts right through prime habitat.
33100 Tamiami Trail E
Ochopee, FL 34141
Category: Parks and Outdoors
Region: Outside South Florida
Call pulled over, got out, quickly snapped a few pictures, and then dragged the carcass, which was still warm, to the edge of the roadway. Her skull was crushed; the imprint of an automobile grill was visible on her left side. Strange chirping sounds emanated from the brush a few paces away. It was the dead animal's mother, calling in vain to her offspring. Call felt sick. He had always dreamed of photographing a panther in the wild, but he never imagined his first would be a dead one.
The 37-year-old amateur photographer turned around and drove seven miles south to the Collier County sheriff's substation at Everglades City, where he reported the incident. Soon Call was heading back to the ugly scene accompanied by three squad cars. Despite the late hour, two men from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission drove over from Naples. Biologist Mark Lotz and Greg Taminosian, a state wildlife-enforcement officer, later hauled the dead cat to their office complex and placed it in the facility's freezer.
There would be more terrible news. A few hours after Call's grim discovery, Lotz found a dead ten-month-old male panther on the same road just 300 feet from the site of the first accident. He determined the two were siblings. Then a little more than two weeks later, on the night of May 23, a police dispatcher contacted Lotz about yet another panther death. This victim was a male between two and three years of age. Again the animal was killed by a vehicle on State Road 29, this time several miles north of Interstate 75, in the Sunniland area. Along with two earlier fatal automobile collisions in April, the body count rose to five so far this year. In 2000 the tally was nine in all.
If you're wondering what's the big deal about a few roadkills, you obviously haven't been following the plight of the panther. Puma concolor coryi once roamed throughout the southeastern United States and mingled with other large cats. But after many decades of hunting and encroachment by humans, the only remaining Florida panthers had retreated to the isolated swamplands of South Florida. The U.S. government identified the subspecies as endangered in 1967, well before the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973. When the first definitive population studies were completed in the late Seventies, biologists concluded the cats were alarmingly close to utter extinction. Their estimated numbers: between 30 and 50.
Construction of ten-foot-tall fences along I-75 as it traverses the Everglades kept panthers from attempting to cross the superhighway, previously the scene of numerous fatalities. Underpasses cut beneath the roadway allowed the animals to wander safely and have helped bring up the numbers to the present level of between 60 and 70 individuals. Special speed limits are in effect on other highways, including State Road 29, which is only partially lined with fencing. But given the human proclivity to drive as fast as possible, biologists believe more fencing is in order. "Since the ten-foot fencing and underpasses went in, we have not had a single panther killed on I-75. It's remarkable," says Larry Richardson, a biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who works in Big Cypress.
Death by speeding motor vehicle is only the cruelest form of panther punishment. But over the decades humans have inflicted a more gradual kind of violence on this animal, exacting a toll grotesque enough to make a grown man squirm. Historically a panther would roam over hundreds of square miles; hence the gene pool spread far and wide. But as people swarmed into Florida during the Twentieth Century, urban sprawl displaced the cats while canals and roads hemmed them in. No longer able to travel the great distances that had enabled them to find mates outside their immediate families, the felines became inbred. Specifically that has meant deformed spermatozoa incapable of fertilizing ova, and testicles that don't descend during puberty, rendering an inordinate number of male panthers sterile.
