Shavelle Chavez-Nelson had a long and violent record when he met Anarae Schunk. Her friends said she thought she could help him.
Shavelle Chavez-Nelson, 31, of Eagan, also known as Anthony Lee Nelson
Shavelle Chavez-Nelson spent a total of less than four of the past 14 years outside the walls of Minnesota jails or prisons. In that time, he was accused or convicted of at least seven violent crimes.
He and Anarae Schunk, a smart 20-year-old college student, met at a bus stop in the summer of 2012, during Nelson's longest stretch as a free man. He told her he was a hedge fund manager, and despite the disapproval of her family and friends, Schunk dated him for a few months. Those who knew her say she thought she could help him.
Court documents and interviews reveal that Nelson, also known as Anthony Lee Nelson, may have been too far entrenched in a violent lifestyle to be reformed by anyone, let alone a young woman from Burnsville whom everyone agreed had a bright future.
The story of what happened when their paths crossed also raises the question of why someone with a propensity toward crime and violence was released from behind bars time and time again.
Nelson is a suspect in Schunk's death, although charges are not expected to be filed for several weeks. He is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Palagor Obang Jobi, 23, of Savage, and is in the Dakota County jail in lieu of $2 million bail. Jobi was killed the same night Schunk disappeared.
"I think she understood that he had a violent criminal history. But she also believed in the good of humanity and in people's power to change, and her power to bring that change about," Schunk's oldest brother, Tyson, said Thursday, two days after police announced that a body found in a roadside ditch was his sister's.
Jobi's and Schunk's deaths appear to have been the culmination of a crescendo of violent crimes that had Nelson bouncing in and out of custody.
He served nearly eight years for his most recent robbery convictions. State law mandates that incarcerated offenders serve two-thirds of their sentence behind bars, with the remaining third on supervised release. A month after his parole ended, he was charged with armed burglary. He spent most of the past three months in jail and was freed Sept. 19 after posting $25,000 bail.
Three days later, Jobi was dead and Schunk missing.
Nelson's release infuriated Schunk's loved ones, who say he shouldn't ever have been out of prison, much less jail.
Hennepin County District Judge Daniel Moreno, who set Nelson's bond amount, would not comment on the case.
"There would be an explosion in our jails if judges set bail based on what might happen," said Mark Osler, a professor of criminal law at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. "Every defendant poses a risk. With 20/20 hindsight, to say this risk was realized, it's heartbreaking. But that doesn't make it effective to deny bail to everyone who is a risk."
A case like this is "a judge's worst nightmare," said retired Ramsey County District Judge Kathleen Gearin. "There's probably not a judge sitting who hasn't second-guessed themselves when something bad happens."
'Frightening and disturbing'
Nelson's crimes share a common theme. In nearly every one, he pointed a pistol at his victim's head, and in most cases, he threatened to kill them if they didn't turn over their valuables.
But he wasn't your typical thug, court transcripts show.
In 2003, Nelson, just 21, was already a twice-convicted felon facing prison for five counts of first-degree aggravated robbery, one in which he put a gun to the head of a young mother consoling her frightened children. "Tell the kids I'm not going to kill them," he told her. "I'm only going to kill their parents."
In that case, he fired his lawyer and represented himself during a weeklong trial, grilling each victim called to testify against him.

Spurred by President Obama's campaign, younger voters proved a decisive, and growing, segment of the electorate in 2008. They turned out at higher levels than they had in generations, giving Democrats wins in swing states that had been off the table for a generation or more.
This year, Democrats are again counting on those younger voters to help Obama win a second term. But a new study from a Tufts University political scientist suggests the Obama campaign is going to have to work hard to prevent those younger voters from disappearing.
The study, from Tufts' Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, shows more than 48,000 young adults between the ages of 18-25 dropped off voter rolls in North Carolina. More than 80 percent -- 39,000 -- of those younger voters were registered Democrats. That's devastating for a state Obama won by just 14,000 votes.

Christchurch, New Zealand, rocked by series of earthquakes, but no casualties
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake, followed by several strong aftershocks, hit Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, just 10 months after almost 200 people died from a major quake in the city.
Geoff Sloan/New Zealand Herald/AP
Wellington, New Zealand
A series of strong earthquakes hit the New Zealand city of Christchurch on Friday, sending goods toppling from shelves, causing rockfalls and driving terrified residents from buildings 10 months after a quake killed almost 200 people in the city.
Christchurch police said there were no reports of casualties or widespread damage, although one person had been reported hurt at a shopping mall and taken to hospital.
An initial 5.8-magnitude earthquake was centered 12 miles northeast of the city at a very shallow depth of 5 miles, according to New Zealand's civil defense. It was followed by a series of strong aftershocks, one of a 5.3 magnitude but no tsunami warning was issued.
The tremors struck as shoppers thronged malls in the lead-up to Christmas and prompted many residents to flee the city, clogging roads.
"It was incredibly violent," one caller told Radio New Zealand.
"All the water in my birdbath slopped out and I could hear everything falling over inside. When I walked inside, the cat streaked out the door, ornaments were all over the floor, contents of the pantry were lying on the floor, a little bit of smashed glass and picture frames lying over."
Christchurch, the largest city in New Zealand's South Island, is still recovering from a quake measuring 6.3 which killed 182 people in February and caused up to $20 billion (New Zealand; US$15.5 billion) in damage. A strong but less damaging quake struck Christchurch in September last year.

U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
Southern District of New York
December 17, 2010
Estate of Jeffry M. Picower to Forfeit $7.2 Billion for Victims of Bernard L. MadoffŌĆÖs Ponzi Scheme
Multi-Billion Dollar Settlement to Benefit MadoffŌĆÖs Victims is Largest Single Forfeiture Recovery in U.S. History
NEW YORK ŌĆō The estate of Jeffry M. Picower has agreed to forfeit $7,206,157,717 to the United States, representing all the profits that Picower withdrew over the years from Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS), the fraudulent investment advisory business formerly owned and operated by Bernard L. Madoff.┬Ā The distribution of funds to victims will be administered by Irving H. Picard in his dual capacities as the newly-appointed Department of Justice special master to assist the department in connection with the victim remission proceedings and as the court-appointed trustee overseeing the liquidation of BLMIS under Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA).┬Ā The more than $7.2 billion forfeiture announced today constitutes the largest single forfeiture in U.S. history, and will be used to compensate victims of MadoffŌĆÖs fraud.
TodayŌĆÖs announcement was made by Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York; Orlan Johnson, Chairman of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC); Irving Picard, SIPA Trustee; Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Division of the FBI; and Charles R. Pine, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Division.
According to the stipulation and order of settlement, and accompanying civil forfeiture complaint filed today federal court in Manhattan, the investment advisory business of BLMIS was operated as a massive Ponzi scheme from at least as early as the 1980s, defrauding investors of billions of dollars.┬Ā Rather than use client funds to invest in securities, as promised, BLMIS diverted those funds to pay other clientsŌĆÖ redemption requests; fund transactions to disguise BLMISŌĆÖs fraud; and enrich Madoff, his family and his associates.┬Ā In order to support the lie that BLMIS was operating a legitimate investment advisory business, BLMIS created and disseminated fictitious account statements that, among other things, showed trades that never actually took place.┬Ā During the course of the fraud, MadoffŌĆÖs clients lost approximately $20 billion in funds they invested with BLMIS.
Since at least the late 1970s, Jeffry M. Picower was an investor in BLMIS, holding an account in his own name and controlling accounts held by various individuals and entities.┬Ā Over the course of his 30-plus year relationship with BLMIS, Picower withdrew a net total of $7,206,157,717 in profits from BLMIS.┬Ā When Madoff was arrested in December 2008 and his fraud was revealed, it became clear that Picower - like all of BLMISŌĆÖs investors who withdrew more money than they invested - had profited at the expense of more recent BLMIS investors.
Picower died in October 2009.┬Ā In his will, Picower sought to establish a charitable foundation, which was to receive the overwhelming majority of his fortune, and continue his lifelong dedication to philanthropy and to funding medical research.┬Ā In order to resolve potential civil claims by the government against PicowerŌĆÖs estate, and to enable the creation of the foundation called for in PicowerŌĆÖs will, the estate, through PicowerŌĆÖs widow Barbara Picower, has agreed to give up the entire net total of any and all funds that Picower or any related entity received from BLMIS.┬Ā The settlement contains no finding or admission of fault against Picower, and his estate has claimed that neither Picower nor any of the related entities participating in the settlement had any involvement in, or knowledge of, MadoffŌĆÖs fraud.
The U.S. AttorneyŌĆÖs Office will use funds forfeited in the settlement announced today to compensate victims of MadoffŌĆÖs fraud.┬Ā Last week, in connection with a $625 million settlement involving the U.S. AttorneyŌĆÖs Office, the SIPA Trustee, and Carl Shapiro and his family, U.S. Attorney Bharara announced that the Department of Justice had appointed Irving H. Picard as special master to oversee the process of remission or mitigation under the forfeiture laws.┬Ā Picard is already serving as the court-appointed trustee for BLMIS under SIPA.┬Ā Under the terms of todayŌĆÖs settlement, and a related settlement submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Picard will administer $5 billion of the funds being returned to MadoffŌĆÖs victims by the Picower estate through the SIPA liquidation proceedings.┬Ā He also will administer the remaining $2,206,157,717 through the Department of JusticeŌĆÖs remission or mitigation process.
ŌĆ£TodayŌĆÖs truly historic settlement with the estate of Jeffry Picower is a game-changer for MadoffŌĆÖs victims,ŌĆØ said U.S. Attorney Bharara.┬Ā ŌĆ£By returning every penny of the $7.2 billion her late husband received from BLMIS to help those who have suffered most, Barbara Picower has done the right thing.┬Ā We will continue to work tirelessly with our partners from SIPC, the SIPA Trustee, the FBI, the IRS, and the U.S. Marshals Service to track down any and all proceeds of MadoffŌĆÖs Ponzi scheme and return them to victims.ŌĆØ
SIPC Chairman Johnson said:┬Ā ŌĆ£Since the discovery of the Madoff fraud, the U.S. Attorney, as well as the Trustee, Mr. Picard, his counsel, represented here by Mr. Sheehan, and SIPC personnel have worked relentlessly on the Madoff case.┬Ā They have committed constant time, energy and resources to benefit the victims of that fraud.┬Ā The settlement announced today is an extraordinary achievement by all concerned.┬Ā More than $7 billion dollars will be distributed to the victims.┬Ā We will seek to distribute these proceeds as quickly as possible. This is by far the largest asset settlement in the 40 year history of SIPC.┬Ā The result we see today shows that SIPC and the Securities Investor Protection Act can meet the challenges they face.┬Ā Prior to today, SIPC had already advanced more than $760 million to the Madoff victims.┬Ā SIPC has also provided the financial wherewithal to conduct the research, investigation and legal proceedings that led to this recovery, and, I am sure, will lead to other recoveries in the future.ŌĆØ
SIPA Trustee Picard said:┬Ā ŌĆ£The importance of this settlement cannot be overstated, as it shows significant progress in our efforts to assemble the largest Customer Fund possible.┬Ā Every penny of this $7.2 billion settlement will be distributed to BLMIS customers with valid claims.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Among the thousands of investors in the Bernard Madoff scheme were individuals so taken in by his confidence game that they invested the bulk of their net worth with him,ŌĆØ said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Fedarcyk.┬Ā ŌĆ£The unprecedented settlement announced today means people who two years ago faced the devastating prospect of losing everything now stand to recover a significant portion of their investment.ŌĆØ
IRS Special Agent-in-Charge Charles R. Pine said:┬Ā ŌĆ£IRS Criminal Investigation has a unique role in Ponzi scheme related investigations.┬Ā Our special agents come to the table with specialized talent and the ability to pour through transactional records, such as bank and brokerage account statements, and trace illegally earned income to other assets, such as cars, real estate, jewelry, and other highly valued items.┬Ā IRS Criminal Investigators and its law enforcement partners will continue to work diligently in recovering assets to their rightful owners in illegal financial schemes.ŌĆØ
U.S. Attorney Bharara praised the work of SIPC and the SIPA Trustee.┬Ā He also thanked the FBI, the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Marshals Service.┬Ā Mr. Bharara also thanked the U.S. Department of LaborŌĆÖs Employee Benefits Security Administration and Office of the Inspector General for their work in this matter.┬Ā Finally, he thanked the Justice Department Criminal DivisionŌĆÖs Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section for their assistance.
This case was brought in coordination with President Barack ObamaŌĆÖs Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, on which U.S. Attorney Bharara serves as a co-chair of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Working Group.┬Ā President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes.┬Ā The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources.┬Ā The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lisa A. Baroni, Julian J. Moore, Barbara A. Ward and Matthew L. Schwartz are in charge of the case.

Ian Paisley Jr. has been taking the SDLP's Chief Whip Patsy McGlone to task over the SDLP's summer campaign for an emergency recall of the Assembly.

The Writerbusters will help you in no time!The Opening SequenceAlright, so you have a story going with characters and a good idea on where you want to go, you just don't know how to start it. That's perfectly fine. Take the time to look over different movies and how they begin. Notice how in Legally Blonde it's a continuing shot of the sorority the main character Elle along with the other girls live in. This kind of intro helps the audience get a good feel for who the character is and what their life is like. So naturally, from seeing the opening sequence, you should have gotten the idea that all these girls are very girly and live life in the lap of luxury and fashion. Another good idea to begin the film is the opening to the King's Speech, directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler, the movie opens up with a lon

Ayyappa devotees in twin cities can look forward for a hassle-free visit to Sabarimala this time with Sabarimala Ayyappa Seva Samajam deciding to set up helpdesks at important temples and stations across the State.
The first helpdesk will be inaugurated at Secunderabad railway station on November 13. The helpdesks will guide devotees about road and rail connectivity to Sabarimala, medical aid, food, cottages and other facilities available enroute Sabarimala. The facility will help thousands of devotees in all fronts in having darshan of Lord Ayyappa in Sabarimala.
Problems faced
Informing this to presspersons here on Friday, Samajam president Venkateshwar Sharma Guruswamy said two Ayyappa devotees would be providing the required information to fellow devotees at each helpdesk.
The concept was mooted following problems being faced by Ayyappa swamis during their journey every year because of lack of proper information, he explained.
He said efforts were on to set up similar facilities in over 200 Ayyappa temples across the State.
"We are also planning to approach insurance companies to ensure insurance facility to Ayyappa swamis," he said.
The Samajam would be organising 'Viswa Shanti Shobha Yatra' from NTR Stadium to Necklace Road on November 30 in which one lakh devotees will be participating, he added.

Jon Favreau's live-action/animation take on Disney's The Jungle Book just keeps adding star power.
Bill Murray will reportedly voice Baloo the bear, joining Christopher Walken (King Louie), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera the panther), Lupita Nyong'o (Raksha the mother wolf), Scarlett Johansson (Kaa the python) and Idris Elba (Shere Khan the tiger). All of those big names could overshadow 10-year-old Neel Sethi, who will star as Mowgli, but we'll have to wait for the film to hit theaters in October 2015 to find out for sure.
In the meantime, get a little nostalgic with this classic scene from the original movie (and have fun imaging Murray bouncing around as Baloo). --Sarah Eberspacher
Moles might just be the unsung heroes of archaeology.
A team of moles previously unearthed Roman artifacts from an ancient fort in England, and the creatures' talents are helping archaeologists once again.
The Viborg Museum in northern Denmark is using moles to help look for a fort from the Middle ages. Archaeologists from the museum analyze mole hills after the moles bring pottery fragments and other artifacts to the ground's surface.
"The closer we get to a building, the higher the content of items per liter we find," Jesper Hjermind, the Viborg Museum archaeologist who suggested adding moles to the dig, explained to the The Copenhagen Post. "It's simple, but it works."
Hjermind even gave the moles' work an adorable name, "moleology," adding that it can be quite effective in locating ancient sites.
Lawyers for Michael Brown's parents announced Thursday that they will file a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson, Missouri, and former police officer Darren Wilson.
Wilson, who is white, fatally shot Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, in Ferguson last year.
The announcement comes after the Justice Department said it would not bring charges against Wilson. The department also released a report Wednesday that charged Ferguson's police department with routine racial discrimination.
Daryl Parks, Brown's family's attorney, said the report documented "rampant, wholesale, systemic" problems in Ferguson's police department that must "change soon for the safety of the citizens."
An Arizona judge on Thursday declared a mistrial in the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias murder case, after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. The mistrial came after another jury, which convicted Arias of murder two years ago, also failed to agree on whether she should be sentenced to death or face life in prison.
Arias was found guilty in May 2013 of brutally killing her boyfriend five years earlier. A judge will now decide her fate at a sentencing hearing set for April 13, though the death penalty is off the table because of the two mistrials.
A Delta plane skidded off a snowy runway at LaGuardia Airport on Thursday morning, crashing through a fence.

No injuries have been reported. The passengers were evacuated from the plane, which is apparently leaking fuel. The plane was Flight MD-88, arriving from Atlanta.
All LaGuardia traffic has been shut down until 7:00 p.m. EST.
After an Oregon family's elderly pony escaped from its stall to wander the neighborhood, a local police officer shot and killed the miniature horse for reasons its owner finds suspect.
When Crista Fitzgerald noticed Gir, her 30-year-old pony, had gone missing one morning, she immediately started looking for him. Spotting Gir laying down in a neighbor's yard, she assumed he'd gone to sleep, but, "We walked up closer and I bent down to pet him, and that's when I saw the pool of blood behind his cheek bones."
When Fitzgerald contacted the officer who had shot the pony, he claimed Gir had been hit by a car and broken his back legs — but two separate vets said there was nothing wrong with Gir when he was killed. The sheriff's office also said the officer contacted the local humane society before shooting the pony, which the humane society denies.
At the Fitzgeralds' request, the sheriff's department will investigate the incident. Gir "was part of our family," Fitzgerald says. "There's no way to replace him."

"You are a coward," she wrote. "A little boy who wouldn't even look me in the eyes to see that. Because you can't handle the fact that what you tried to destroy, you only made stronger."

The trial of Tsarnaev, who faces 30 charges and a potential death sentence, began Wednesday with the defense admitting Tsarnaev carried out the attack. Gregory was one of several survivors of the attack who testified on the trial's opening day.

Is there any holiday treat as polarizing as marshmallow Peeps?
If you're in the pro-Peeps camp, you'll be thrilled to learn that starting this week, Prairie Farms is releasing a limited-edition collection of Peeps-flavored milk. The delicacy will be available in three flavors, "Marshmallow Milk," "Chocolate Marshmallow Milk," and "Easter Egg Nog."
Yum or yuck? http://t.co/4czJRnkqXh pic.twitter.com/ovJnWqluqM
— KSDK NewsChannel 5 (@ksdknews) March 4, 2015
Unfortunately, the milk will only be available at stores in the Midwest. And if you're lucky enough to get your hands on Peeps milk, be warned that it has 37 grams of sugar per serving, so you probably don't want to overindulge.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been under fire this week after the revelation that she and several of her top aides used private email addresses while at the State Department, a move which fails to comply with federal transparency regulations. In 2007, however, Clinton explicitly said that the use of similarly private email accounts by the Bush administration was an attack on the Constitution. The quote begins at the seven minute mark below:
Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts....It's a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent. [Clinton, via a Daily Caller transcript]
In a tweet published late last night, Clinton said she has asked the State Department to release her emails, but critics have noted the emails to be released have already been reviewed and culled by her staff.
It's been almost 20 years since the release of Happy Gilmore, but Adam Sandler and Bob Barker's feud is as red-hot as ever. In a promo for Comedy Central's charity event Night of Too Many Stars, the unlikely comedy duo rekindle the brutal feud they first acted out as golf partners in Happy Gilmore — and take their violent fight to its logical conclusion:
Night of Too Many Stars airs on March 8.
Soon, elephants will no longer be a part of your visit to the circus.
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will get rid of elephant acts by 2018, according to The Associated Press. The move comes after public concern about animal rights. Before the announcement, some cities had passed ordinances against circus elephants during performances.
Feld Entertainment, the circus' parent company, told AP the elephants will retire to the company's Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida. "Things have changed," Kenneth Feld told AP. "How does a business be successful? By adapting."
The circus will still showcase other animals, such as camels.

Wie: I can still win men's event
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
CLIFTON, N.J. – Six years since gaining national attention as a 13-year-old golfing phenomenon, Michelle Wie still seeks that first win on the LPGA and dreams of beating the boys on that other pro golf circuit.
A trip to Augusta also would be nice.
Wie raised a couple of eyebrows at a pre-tournament news conference for the Sybase Classic on Wednesday, when the 19-year-old matter-of-factly said that she hopes to win a PGA Tour tournament and play in the Masters.
Granted the questions were posed to the player who was anointed the next great female golfer while still in middle school, but she didn't back off or even couch her answers by saying that would be something she would think about when she wins a couple of times against the best women.
Wie has not won a tournament since the 2003 USGA Women's Public Links.
"You know, like I always say, dream high and stuff, set your goals up high, and I think it's definitely – I'm not saying it's an easy goal to achieve," Wie said when asked about winning a men's tournament. "I'm not going to be like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and win a men's event.' It's not like that, but it's one of those long-term goals where I see myself getting to. I see myself getting there, and it's one of those goals that really motivates me and pushes me to be a stronger player, a better player."
Wie captured plenty of attention in 2006 when she made it to the final round of qualifying for the U.S. Open. Her threesome at Canoe Brook in nearby Summit was mobbed and she excited the throng in the morning 18 with a chip-in for birdie on her final hole. She struggled in the afternoon and failed to make the field.
"It was a lot of fun," Wie said. "The U.S. Open means a lot to me, so just being able to do that, I gained a lot of experience, and it was a really nice golf course. I just remember it being a really long day, but it was definitely a fun experience."
Unlike years past when Wie seemingly was a free agent contracting to any golf event, she is happy to be a member of the LPGA. She earned her playing privileges at the qualifying school last year and has earned $171,829 in five events this year. Her best finish was second at the SBS Open in her native Hawaii in her first start.
After taking the next three events off, Wie has tied for 57th, tied for 67th, tied for 10th and tied for 15th last week at the Michelob Ultra Open in Virginia.
Officially an LPGA rookie even though she has played in 54 events in her career, Wie said her game is improving.
Winning is another topic.
"I'm going to try to keep playing the best I can," Wie said. "Hopefully I am very close to a win. I feel like it's going to come. I have faith."
Wie, ranked No. 22 on the money earnings list, this week faces a field at Upper Montclair Country Club that includes three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa and 27 of the top 30 players on tour.
Ochoa, who has won twice in seven events this year, said it is hard to have an opinion about Wie, having never played with her.
"Her life is just very different than all of us," Ochoa said. "She was the best when she was 12, 13, 14, and she was a phenomenon, and all the decisions they made, some of them good, maybe some of them not as good, but I think today she's a better player. I think she knows that she feels more comfortable out here. It's good that she's full-time. I think she likes that, and we like that, too, to have that consistency every week."
There is one major difference between the two. Ochoa, who has won 26 career titles, has no desire to play against the men.
"You never know if I'm going to change my mind in a couple years," the 27-year-old Ochoa said. "But so far I'm good here. I think I first need to prove and achieve my goals here on the LPGA. This is where I belong."
Wie thinks her life has stabilized after years of getting sponsors exemptions to LPGA and men's events in the United States and overseas, a career that has yet to bring a victory but has earned her millions of dollars in sponsorship deals and appearance fees.
"I really don't regret anything that I have done," she said. "But like I said, I don't want to go back into the past. There's nothing I can do to change the past if I wanted to. So all I can do is focus on the future, focus on now. It's a new start. It's a fresh new start for me. That's what it feels like. I'm moving forward now, and I feel pretty good about it, and I'm just having fun."

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I don't know of anyone who has a true love of baseball that doesn't love this movie. In my opinion, it's the best movie ever made about the sport. Ron Shelton is the writer and director of this romantic comedy centering around the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team. He does not romanticize the sport as was done in The Natural or Pride of the Yankees, two other baseball films I love, but has shown us all sides of the game. It can be fun, brutal, glorious, unfair, challenging, and tormenting. The film opens with a collection of classic baseball pictures. A wave of nostalgia came over me as I watched it. In 1988, when this movie was filmed, Fernando Valenzuela was still in his glory. There is an incredible shot of him looking to the heavens as he pitches. I wonder how many kids growing up with the superstars today even know about him? The shot of Pete Rose also tore at me, as all he is doing his famous head-first slide. How many kids know about his great accomplishments in baseball, not just the controversy surrounding his (lack of) induction into the Hall of Fame? There are also pictures from before my time, including that of the Women's Baseball League and Babe Ruth looking out towards right field. If these pictures don't move you, then the baseball side of this film might not be for you. The good news on that front is that Ron Shelton managed to weave a wonderful romantic comedy around the subject of baseball. Susan Sarandon portrays Annie Savoy, a baseball "groupie" who each year chooses a player off of the Bulls team to hook-up with and impart her wisdom on. A triangle forms as Ebby Calvin LaLoosh - also known as "Nuke" - and "Crash" Davis square off for her affection. Nuke - portrayed by Tim Robbins - is a bonus-baby; an up-and-coming hot-shot with a million-dollar arm and a five-cent brain. He throws a fastball 95 miles an hour but has control trouble. In his first appearance, he hits the announcers, the mascot, and a whole bunch of players. However, he also strikes out eighteen players. He is so full of himself at the beginning of this film, I don't know how his head fit into that cap. Robbins nails the part with a perfect balance of goofiness and seriousness that Nuke is believable and not a caricature. Enter Crash - portrayed by Kevin Costner. Crash was in the majors for "21 of the best days of my life". He is a veteran who has been around the minors for a long time. So long, in fact, that he is about to break the record for the most home runs in the minors. That record is a double-edged sword. While it speaks to his abilities as a player, it also tells just how long he has been rattling around the minors. In a great piece near the end of the film, Crash tells how what separates a .250 (minor-league) hitter from a .300 (major-league) hitter is just one hit a week - a blooper, or a fantastic play by the outfielder. It all boils down to luck and Crash seems to have been on the wrong side of that. Costner also has the perfect balance in this character. I found myself rooting for him, but not pitying him. Crash was brought in specifically to cultivate the new potential superstar. Hit catching abilities are needed to help the kid settle down and teach him control of not just the baseball, but himself as well. Both of these men also begin vying for Annie's affection, although she hooks up with Nuke after Crash makes one of the best speeches ever in a film. The famous I believe ... speech has been parodied many times, but Costner delivers it with such feeling that watching it again now has the same impact it did all those years ago. And I happen to agree with him about the Constitutional amendment banning Astroturf and the designated hitter. It's easy to believe the chemistry in this film. Robbins and Sarandon first met here and it was a movie romance that is still continuing this day. It's Annie's and Crash's chemistry throughout the film that have us rooting for them to be together, though. They seem perfect for each other as each year she is finding the rookies getting younger and younger and he knows the time is coming when the game will no longer be his to play. Their banter is slick, friendly and filled with affection. Both of them are facing "retirement" and fighting to get in their last bit of playing time. There are lovely bits of comedy in the background of this movie as well. Robert Wuhl is terrific as the assistant manager, Larry Hockett, and brings in a lot of comic relief. I will never look at conferences on the mound the same way again after watching all of the players gather in discussion, and seeing Larry's lack of surprise at the conversation taking place and his response to it. The superstitions that baseball players have is also played here for some comedy, and any fan knows how seriously superstitious most players are! The DVD of this movie contains extras such as Between the Lines, a documentary about the making of the movie, a profile of Kevin Costner, and Sports Wrap, another short documentary. There are also the usual theatrical trailers. A big surprise, however, was the ability to run this movie with two different commentaries. One was by the director and writer, Ron Shelton, and the other was with Tim Robbins and Kevin Costner. After discovering the Robbins/Costner commentary, I watched the DVD a second time - it was that good! It felt like I was listening to two old buddies sitting in my living room commenting and laughing. At one point they make the comment that they are having such fun watching, they have to remember to comment. They are having fun and it shows! By the way, Tim Robbins is a Mets fan!

#Occupy Oakland: "Extralegal Detention" for Occupiers
6:44 pm in Uncategorized by hotflashcarol
The Coup featuring Boots Riley – What the Po-Pos Hate
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
This morning, Laleh Behbehanian of Occupy Oakland's Antirepression Crew appeared on KPFA Letters and Politics [segment begins at 00:39:25] to discuss the latest tactics used by the Oakland Police Department against OO. She neatly tied together a lot of loose threads that I have been following for the past couple of weeks and have mentioned in a couple of recent diaries.
Laleh is one of our devoted comrades who goes to arraignments, secures bail and keeps hope alive for occupiers who have been jailed. She said that OPD has conducted police raids almost nightly for the past two weeks and has arrested "dozens and dozens of people on bogus, conflated charges" with high bail – but these charges never end up being filed in court. Police are particularly fond of raiding on Friday nights so that they can arrest and hold people over the weekend, since arraignments don't happen until Monday or Tuesday. Over and over again, Laleh and other volunteers sit in court all day, only to discover that no charges have been filed by the DA.
As Laleh says: Read the rest of this entry →

Effect of pollutants in rhinitis

Get AccessAbstract
Allergic rhinitis is a very common disease worldwide and is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Exposure to environmental allergens is the most significant environmental factor in development and exacerbation of allergic rhinitis. However, air pollutants that are not allergens may affect allergic inflammation in the nasal airway. The nasal airway possesses a number of defense mechanisms to deal with environmental irritants. This article examines the effect of ozone and particulate air pollution on TH2-type inflammation in the airway and how nasal defenses protect the upper and lower airway from adverse effects of pollutants.

Koushion Update Adds Retina Graphics Support & More
Last year, Kudzu Creative Group released Koushion – a Tenori On inspired music app for the iPad.
Since then, they've made a variety of improvements to Koushion, most notably adding CoreMIDI support. The latest update, version 2.4, adds iPad Retina graphics and a "rebound" loop mode that loops a single scene forwards and backwards.
Here's the version 2.4 feature list…..
- 16-step sequencer with a 2-octave range.
- Integrates with your hardware MIDI setup via the iRig MIDI iPad accessory from IK Multimedia!
- Connect wirelessly via a either a connector application (for Windows) or CoreMIDI (for OS X).
- Syncs to any MIDI clock source or sends a MIDI clock signal so that the performance or production always stays synced.
- Tap to set tempo (great for syncing with a live band)
- Plays up to eight scenes/banks individually (wrap-around or rebounding loop), chained in succession, or simultaneously.
- Adjustable quantization.
- Switches easily to any major, minor, or pentatonic key with the push of a button.
- Chromatic scale mode (useful for drum machine programming).
- Configurable scene/bank MIDI channel assignments to enable control of multiple instruments at the same time.

Developer – 'With CoreMIDI, Your Music Apps Are No Longer Just Toys'
Synthetic Bits shared this video today, which demonstrates using iOS devices in a fairly elaborate multi-platform MIDI performance.
The video demonstrates the CoreMIDI capabilities of two iOS music apps, FunkBox and Little MIDI Machine, when connected to an iRig MIDI interface.
Other instruments used are a Korg Monotribe, Little Phatty, Tattoo drum plugin, Arctic Keys synth app, NLog synth plugin, and Ableton Live.
The performance is a real-world demonstration of the current state of iOS as a music platform, and reflects the work developers have done as part of the Open Music App Collaboration initiative.
While I'd disagree with the generalization that music apps that don't support MIDI are 'just toys', the focus that iOS developers have placed on improving MIDI communication between apps has opened up a lot of options for musicians.
Check out the video and let us know what you think about the state of iOS as a music platform!
MidiBridge MIDI Router Adds Open Music App Collaboration Support
Audeonic Apps has updated MidiBridge – a utility designed to interconnect all types of MIDI interfaces (external, virtual and network) on an iOS device.
Here's what's new in version 1.1:

It's never too late to get paranoid about the dreaded SWINE FLU.
Its like the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you put X amount of monkeys in a room with a typewriter and ask them to give you Shakespeare 99% of them will fling their shit at you while the other 1% will masturbate in the corner.
when the flu broke in the U.S. in april of last year, they have actual live pigs & other livestock in a petting zoo on the polo field at Stagecoach..
i got a little worried..
From what I've seen, I think, Herpes, HPV, The Clap, Pregnancy And accidentally being poked by a needle at coachella should be a bigger worry than Swine Flu.
You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
It's that tad bit of Crazy that keeps me Sane...
AIDZ NEEDLEZ >>>>>>> Swine Flu
Swine Flu 15 - 3 = 12
I'm hoping for the Swine.
It'll clear out the fields, but the bathrooms will be even more of a bitch.
I was in a porto potty on acid once.
It can't possibly be worse than that.

Quote from one Baltimore fan on Indy site. Living in Md, I have to say, I have heard this numerous times this week. The only team the fans fear is the Pats. Re: Baltimore will be pulling for Indy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of us are pulling for Indy simply because we don't want to play the Patriots (assuming they are going to take care of business against the Jets). Fact is, New England is playing much better football recently. I mean you guys stumbled a little down the stretch, losing 4 of your last 7. NE seems to be peaking at the right time, they are the better road team, they are better in cold weather, and based on recent history they are simply a better playoff team. Not saying the Colts couldn't steal this one, just that they don't scare us as much as the Pats. http://www2.indystar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179954
In science, there's a phrase to describe a statement that has no meaning and can't be shown to be either true or false: not even wrong. The above comments fits that to a T... it's a meaningless rah-rah kind of thing to say.
For the very same reasons (kinda), I'm pulling for KC. I would rather play Baltimore than SD, and KC has a puncher's chance of beating SD in SD (familiarity and all that). Not that any of this matters, of course. KC's defense stinks, and the Dolts will tear them to shreds on Saturday.
I figure regardless of order, we are should expect to play Balt and SD. If you want to be the best, beat the best. Lets play ball
SD doesn't worry me too much--but their week off combined with a cross-country trip for the Patriots would give them an added edge. And thusly is home field an advantage in the playoffs...
Interesting! Thanks for posting that;I wondered how Balti fans were seeing things,and quite honestly I ass-umed they were among the most confident. I'm not sure I have a preference re SD vs Balti. We need to be ready for either team,and we will be. I suppose a trip to Balti is easier on the team than a trip out west so I'll lean towards that scenario,but let the chips fall where they may.The only thing the Pats control is how THEY play.We get who we get. Go Pats!!
I agree. Even if KC beats the Colts, and assuming we beat the Jets, the remaining AFC games will be: NE @ BAL KC @ SD I think KC over SD would be a major upset and an unlikely scenario, so we would have to win @ BAL and then @ SD to reach the Super Bowl. If IND wins (and again assuming we do) the games are just in the other order: NE @ SD IND @ BAL So we would have to win @ SD and then at either IND or BAL, probably BAL.
Article in today's Baltimore Sun on possible opponents next week for the Ravens. This is the quote from the article. Bottom line: On paper, the Patriots are more vulnerable than they have been in years. But Brady is still Brady, especially in the postseason, where he is 10-1. And Belichick could get into the head of the Ravens' offense. This is the team the Ravens most want to avoid. and the link, http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...6175446.story?page=2&coll=bal-sports-football Neither the fans nor the media in Baltimore want their Ravens to face the Pats. The Pats are too balanced a team and our strengths match up well against theirs.
Exactly. Back in my University days I learned how to prove on paper that 1 = 2. Now that was something I could take with me into the real world. Bottom line - all you Baltimorans out there, it is time to be afraid, very, very afraid.

Robert Kubica and BMW Sauber continued to set the fastest times in practice on Montreals Ile Notre Dame this afternoon, as track and weather conditions improved. The Pole took his F1.06 round in 1m 16.965s, which finally proved to be 0.120s faster than late improver Fernando Alonso who pushed his Renault round in 1m 17.095s to dislodge Alexander Wurz. The Austrians best time for Williams was 1m 17.337s. Kimi Raikkonen was happy with fourth for McLaren on 1m 17.490s, followed by Anthony Davidson in the leading Honda on 1m 17.627s, Giancarlo Fisichella on 1m 17.805s for Renault and Mark Webber on 1m 17.848s in the Williams.
People were pushing harder this afternoon, with many drivers running over the chicane out the back of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve or over the run-off area in the final corner. Nobody damaged their cars this time, though Juan Pablo Montoya (Turn 1), Michael Schumacher, Fisichella, Tonio Liuzzi, Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg (all Turn 8) and Jenson Button (Turn 10) all explored the grass at times.
Liuzzi ended up eighth overall for Toro Rosso with a lap of 1m 18.009s, chased by Nick Heidfeld for BMW Sauber on 1m 18.015s, team mate Jacques Villeneuve (1m 18.035s), Robert Doornbos (1m 18.201s), the Hondas of Rubens Barrichello and Button (1m 18.279s and 1m 18.429s respectively), Christijan Albers (1m 18.503s), Michael Schumacher (1m 18.549s), Ralf Schumacher (1m 18.614s), Montoya (1m 18.761s), Christian Klien (1m 18.865s), Jarno Trulli (1m 18.868s) and Scott Speed (1m 18.907s) all grouped together in the midfield within the same second.
After his moment, Rosberg was 21st on 1m 19.048s, from Massa (1m 19.099s), Giorgio Mondini (1m 19.138s), David Coulthard (1m 19.313s), Neel Jani (1m 19.541s), Takuma Sato (1m 19.624s). Sakon Yamamoto impressed with a lap of 1m 20.197s to chase Sato in the Friday Super Aguri and set 27th fastest time, while Tiago Monteiro took things relatively easily in his repaired Midland for 1m 20.262s and Franck Montagny rounded out the field with 1m 21.434s.
The real quick lappery will begin tomorrow morning, but at least everyone now has a feel for the track, and the warmer temperatures made conditions better than they had been this morning even if Kubicas overall best time was slower.

French website Play 3 Live has upped some scans of, supposedly, a PS3 port of the moderately popular MMORPG EverQuest II: Echoes of Faydwer. The pictures they threw up depiciting the apparent port are all of some pretty freaky-looking fairies with quality not much enhanced from the PC version of the game. This could be because of fears of lag issues for the PS3 version, or because it might end up being a fully downloadable title. The latter speculation is an extreme stretch, but who can be sure?
After scouring the SOE Press Center, we've located what possibly could be the root of this rumor. The listing on Sony Online Entertainment's official site teases readers with the listing of the game as a " PC PS3" release. The pictures aren't in widescreen -- a staple of the PS3 gaming library. We're still keeping this as a rumor, but from the shady speculation surrounding this event, we'd bet our pirate booty that this is all a big error in typing. A mis-type, if you will.
For the uninitiated, just in case this turns out to be true, EverQuest II: Echoes of Faydwer tells the tale of [insert cookie-cutter MMO plotline and gameplay mechanics]. Don't get us wrong, we're not hating on EQ2, but just like many MMO's, FPS's based in WWII, and JRPG's featuring spiky-haired and oddly prepubescent youths, there's not much to separate it from a crowd.
[Update: IGN contacted SOE and as we imagined, the rumor has been confirmed to be completely untrue.]

Helping hackers don white hats
The FBI warns that cyberspace hacking may soon surpass terrorism as a threat. But many hackers easily give up and become useful 'white hat' security experts. Are there better ways to win over more of them?
Janos Marjai/MTI/AP Photo
In the near future, warned FBI Director Robert Mueller last week, threats against computer networks and other parts of cyberspace will be the No. 1 security danger in the United States – surpassing terrorism.
His words echo those of Leon Panetta, the Defense secretary, who last year said "the next Pearl Harbor" could be a cyberattack on government security systems or the nation's electricity grid.
Such alerts to the growing problem of criminal or state-sponsored hacking have pushed both private firms and the government to spend billions on computer defenses like Internet firewalls.
RELATED: A cascade of Internet events
But they've also led to a hiring of hackers who have been caught or repented. The idea is as simple as "it takes a thief to catch a thief," but it is especially true in the complex world of botnets and other dark arts of digital crime.
Many companies and even the military say they need the best software workers to defend their systems, and often the solution is to employ a former "black hat" hacker who has decided to be a "white hat" (or ethical) hacker.
"If they [hackers] have been slightly naughty boys, very often they enjoy stopping other naughty boys," said Lord West, Britain's first cybersecurity minister, a few years ago when he began to recruit former hackers to defend national electronic security.

Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.
And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz, just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.
Please don't give us root access on some poor d00d'z box when we're too pissed off to think about what's right and wrong, and if you could keep the fbi off our backs, we'd appreciate it.
For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s 4ever and ever, 4m3n.

What can anyone say or do about this problem? To think of the waste of brain development found in our younger family members is a problem. The brain demands the drugs and the "moral values" become redundant. The family is no longer in control.
Everyone waits for Big Daddy to solve the problem.
