Selma Is a Brilliant, Riveting Film, but Racism Is Still a Powerful Force in the US
Weren't the valiant, courageous actions of civil rights advocates a triumph for social justice? Did it not lead to further advances in that struggle? And if you are referring to the movie, is it not a triumph as well, getting a film that portrays one of the signal struggles of the Movement during the 60s with such searing honesty, no holds barred in dealing with the "Which side are you on?" question, applied to this event? Well, yes, the Selma March was a triumph for the civil rights movement. It played a very important role in getting Lyndon Johnson to support what became the Voting Rights Act. It did lead to further advances in that struggle. The movie is a triumph as well, a brilliantly staged and acted docudrama which, among other things, uses the real Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, as the setting for the real march that took place across it in 1865.
Ironically enough, the bridge is named for a Confederate Brigadier General, who later, operating out of his law office, became the leader of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan in Selma and went on to become a U.S. Senator from Alabama. This is particularly ironic in the context of the Voting Rights Act and the struggle to enact it. The Ku Klux Klan was founded very shortly after the end of the civil war by an association of ex-Confederate generals, planters, certain Democratic politicians, and other white leadership who wanted to return the civil society in the South as much as possible to what it had been before the Civil War, with the exception of not having the institution of chattel slavery in place.
One of the principal objectives of the Klan, from the earliest days of its founding, was to prevent the newly freed slaves from the exercising the right to vote that had been granted to them by the 14th (1868) and 15th (1870) Amendments to the Constitution. The language of the latter is particularly instructive: "1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." But with the power first of the Klan, with the ever-spreading denial of the vote to African-Americans, and then with the institution over a period of some years of what was called the "Jim Crow" laws by the Democratic Party in the South, African-Americans were indeed systematically denied the right that had being guaranteed to them by the 15th amendment.
Black NYPD Officers Experience Racial Profiling When Off-Duty
In a revealing informal survey conducted in late 2014, Reuters found that, among a random sampling of Black New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, almost all had experienced racial profiling by other police when off duty.
According to Reuters:
From the dingy donut shops of Manhattan to the cloistered police watering holes in Brooklyn, a number of black NYPD officers say they have experienced the same racial profiling that cost Eric Garner his life….
Reuters interviewed 25 African American male officers on the NYPD, 15 of whom are retired and 10 of whom are still serving. All but one said that, when off duty and out of uniform, they had been victims of racial profiling, which refers to using race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed a crime.
Some of these incidents involved harrowing physical threats.
French Version of "The Daily Show" Forces Fox Into a Triple Apology
"Le Petit Journal," A French comedy show akin to "The Daily Show," used facts and satire to force Fox News to apologize for three "errors" the Murdoch network disseminated in its effort to whip up anti-Islamic hysteria through its "reporting."
Specifically, Fox had claimed that there were neighborhoods in Paris that were dangerous to non-Muslims; that there was a poll taken that showed a significant number of French young people supported ISIS; and that there were official "no-go zones" for persons who are not of the Islamic faith (this included baseless accusations that such "no-go zones" also existed in England, an assertion echoed by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in a Fox interview).
You can watch the host of "Le Petit Journal," Yann Barthès, bask in satisfaction at the Fox admission of "errors" as he munches on popcorn and sips from a drink, here. The segment doesn't have subtitles, but you will understand most of it even if you don't speak French; the clips of Fox anchors admitting their Islamophobic claims about Paris (and England) were false are, of course, in English. It will also help to know three French expressions: La Carte (the map); Les Sondages (opinion polls); and Les No-Go Zones (the no-go zones).
Divesting the United States of Ozone-Destroying Energy Sources
Long before the price of gas and oil began to plummet, socially conscious churches, universities, nonprofit organizations, and local governments began to divest themselves of fossil fuel stock and shock the fossil fuel industry to understand the environmental and public health concerns.
The World Council of Churches, which represents about 590 million Christians in 520,000 congregations, decided in July that to continue to hold fossil fuel stock would compromise its ethics, and recommended that the 349 member denominations consider divesting oil and gas stock.
Six of the eight Anglican dioceses of New Zealand and Polynesia, and four dioceses in Australia divested their portfolios of fossil fuel stock.
Super Bowl for the Rich: Upper-Class 91, Middle-Class 9
Just 10 percent of Americans own 91 percent of the nation's stocks and mutual funds, according to economist Edward Wolff (Table 7). Most of the remainder is held by a "middle class" that is steadily losing ground. The bottom 60 percent is almost entirely shut out (Table 2).
Stock owners, some of whom made billions of dollars last year, can defer their income taxes indefinitely, pay a reduced capital gains tax when they decide to cash in, or pass on the capital gains tax-free to their heirs.
Making money is all a game to the super-rich - redistribution toward the top, trickle-down delusions, tax avoidance, and even, for some of them, dabbling in criminal activities. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) once said, "It's really American to avoid paying taxes, legally...It's a game we play...I see nothing wrong with playing the game because we set it up to be a game." Here's part of their game plan:
$2 of every $5 owned today was created in the last five years, most of it from the financial markets, and almost all of it going to the richest 10 percent.
Why Is It Legal to Cause Fracking Earthquakes In Colorado?
This falls in the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" category in Colorado.
Yesterday it was reported that a fracking waste company—NGL Water Solutions DJ LLC—that was linked to causing earthquakes is allowed by Gov. John Hickenlooper's appointed oil and gas commission to increase their fracking waste injection operations, and it was determined that the company did not violate any law or rule when they likely caused the earthquakes.
Further, not only are the fracking waste injections increasing, but the earthquakes are continuing, the biggest of which, in May 2014, was a 3.4 on the richter scale that shook homes and rattled nerves across the region. And, the director of the Governor's oil and gas commission stated, "We have actively managed this particular circumstance in a way that we feel comfortable with."
You can read the latest on this Colorado earthquake morass in the BizWest newspaper.
Jeb Bush's Family Hydra: When One Head Disappears, Another One Pops Up
For those of you who can't recall your Greek mythological beasts, the hydra is mentioned in the tale of the twelve labors of Hercules. It is a dragon-like monster that has many heads. There is no point in slaying the dragon because the heads grow back if they're cut off. If one head is eliminated, two heads grow back in its place. It can't be killed because, as legend has it, the middle head is immortal and that's the one that's most dangerous when it breathes its poisonous venom at its victims. The monstrous serpent would often rise from the murky waters and terrorize the people.
In a recent New York Times article, The Bushes, as Distinct and Alike as Brothers Can Be, the author attempted to draw a distinction between W. and Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush, who is gearing up for a possible campaign for the presidency, would like Americans to know that he is not one of the Bush heads linked to his brother, George. In other words, he really hates to carry the bad luggage left behind from W.
But as we all know, a hydra is a hydra, and a Bush is a Bush, no matter how many times you cut the head off, the same Bush serpent will grow back again, the same Bush policies of profiting from oil and wars will emerge again and again.
No matter what Jeb says on the campaign trail, he will be burdened with the family's hydra-albatross around his neck, especially W.'s albatross that carries enormous "torturous" weight, beginning with the mass destruction of Iraq that left hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of our own soldiers, either dead, homeless, maimed or poisoned from depleted uranium, a country, incidentally, that had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, followed by the shocking CIA Torture Report, under the Bush-Cheney administration's orders, barbaric torture practices were used on detainees at the US illegal prison,Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As explained in a NY Times editorial, former military officers described this evil facility as a "betrayal of American values."
US Militarization and the "War on Terror" Create a Tinderbox for Violence
Yes, by all means, the VA is failing American veterans terribly, with wholesale claim denials and scandalous waiting times and a general, contemptuous dismissal of the psychological and physical wounds American vets are coming home with — that is, a rich man's investment in the waging of war, to the tune of many trillions of dollars, but a pauper's investment in its aftermath. Something else is going on here as well, however, that's deeper and darker and not limited to the failure of government programs.
In a column I wrote almost a decade ago, I reflected: "Bush's war to promote terror — the perfect self-sustaining fear machine — isn't just generating an endless supply of hardened enemies beyond our borders. It is also creating the conditions of social breakdown and psychological blowback within our borders. Guess what? Under Plan Bush, we'll never be safe."
This seems to be coming to pass. If a word like "disgruntled" — which describes, at worst, an everyday sense of being mistreated or snubbed — can flow seamlessly into "mass killing," then America is at a serious precipice. We're becoming a heavily armed, mentally ill society. And our primary institutions are either contributing directly to the situation or, at best, failing to notice it.
The obvious mega-contributor to our social breakdown is the unending War on Terror, of course. It's a war cynically waged in two directions: at the enemies beyond our borders that we've manufactured and the collateral-damage-in-waiting who live with them; and at the lower and middle classes (the 99 percent) here at home, who have the nerve to expect a reasonable share of the empire's wealth.
Why I Didn't Watch the State of the Union
As the years progressed, BuzzFlash was a forerunner when it came to lacerating, scathing attacks on Republican hypocrisy, and even generated a spinoff (no longer on the web): GOPHypocrites.com.
BuzzFlash took on the Bush administration's war policies following 9/11, particularly focusing on the administration's lies about the lead-up to the tragedy. We entered the lion's den of neoconservative gladiators and shredded their jingoistic, bellicose justifications of wars to advance hegemony.
Frankly, exposing the deceit of the Bush administration and ridiculing it was like picking low-lying fruit. The DC press corps is so beholden to being part of the ongoing ruling social and financial hierarchy that all one had to do was read secondary sources from outside the country to be able to post scoops.
Then came what appeared to be a dramatic rescue. The Obama campaign in 2008 was brilliantly scripted, featured a charismatic candidate and created the energizing, hopeful characteristics of a movement.
Obama, of course, won against grumpy John McCain, but more than six years later, those iconic Shepard Fairey posters of "hope" have long since peeled away. When Obama moved into the White House, he jettisoned movement politics and adopted the so-called "pragmatic politics" of DC. This was a conversion of "hope" into more of the same.
Mike Huckabee's Hashtag Should Be #Hypocrisy
With Jeb Bush is in full presidential exploration mode, Mitt Romney keeping us all on the edge of our seats about whether he'll toss his hat into the ring yet again, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie taking it on the chin for being a Dallas Cowboy/Jerry Jones fan-boy while awaiting more Bridge-gate investigations to unfold, Dr. Ben Carson patenting the crazy, Ted Cruz being … well … Ted Cruz, Rand Paul being … well … Rand Paul, how is Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas Governor and former Fox News Channel talk show host, going to get any play?
The answer is simple: Excoriate President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama for their bad parenting choices in allowing their daughters to listen to the music of Beyoncé, which in Huckabee's new book titled God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy, he calls "obnoxious and toxic mental poison."
In an interview with People magazine, Huckabee said: "I don't understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything - how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school ... and yet they don't see anything that might not be suitable [in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography] best left for the privacy of her bedroom."

Hope turns to dust in Niger
Poor African nation struggling to cope with climate change
NIAMEY, Niger -- The clay soil is reddish-orange, the cloudless sky is grey with dust and the temperature is a furnace-like 41 C.
Wagon-pulling donkeys share the streets with shiny Land Rovers; goats pick over piles of plastic garbage, and yellow-headed lizards called margouillats scamper swiftly over stucco walls.
At night, the electricity flickers on and off as the heavy air hangs completely still and the temperature plunges to a less-suffocating 32 C.
Welcome to Niamey, the capital of Niger, one of the world's largest, most impoverished and most obscure nations, the latter at least to westerners.
Straddling the Sahara Desert, the semi-arid Sahel region and a tiny fringe of tropical West Africa, Niger -- pronounced "nee-jehr," as this is a former French colony -- occupies a corner of the planet that up until recently hasn't demanded much attention from anyone outside of international-development circles.
For starters, there's no oil in this landlocked nation and little in the way of other strategic resources, with the exception of uranium deposits north of the city of Agadez. Aside from nuclear fuel, cowpeas and onions are among the main exports.
Even the most adventurous tourists rarely make it here, seeing as few happen to be passing through from neighbouring Libya, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria and Chad. In case you don't have a CIA fact sheet handy, four of those seven neighbours are undergoing some form of civil war or insurgency.
Niger itself is relatively peaceful, even though large tracts of the country remain unsafe to travel. Tuareg bandits patrol the few roads that cross the sparsely populated Sahara region. Most of the 15.3 million Nigeriens -- the vast majority of them moderate Muslims of a diverse ethnic mix -- live along the southern strip of the country. About 750,000 live in Niamey, while most of the rest attempt to eke out an existence as subsistence farmers during the brief rainy season that appears to be getting even briefer.
With an average annual income of less than $250, Nigeriens are among the world's poorest people. They are also among the least educated, the least healthy and prone to the highest birth rates on the planet, according to the United Nations, which routinely ranks Niger second-last on its annual human-development index.
Adding to the ignominy, as many as three million Nigeriens do not have enough to eat this year. An international food-distribution effort has been mobilized as a response to a disastrous 2011 rainy season, which didn't bring much in the way of actual rain.
Most of Niger's millet and sorghum crops failed last year, forcing farming families to pursue counterproductive practices such as selling some of their goats, sheep, chickens or guinea fowl, which function as living bank accounts, or cutting down and selling trees that provide shade for crops and prevent soil erosion.
Vast sections of Niger's tree cover already have thinned or disappeared, partly due to unsustainable forestry practices but mostly because the average temperature in an already hot region rose 1 C over the past 40 years.
Thanks to its mid-continental location, Niger's climate is naturally prone to variability. But severe precipitation events -- droughts and brief heavy rains that flow uselessly over parched, non-absorbent soil -- have increased in frequency.
Environmental scientists speak in no uncertain terms when they describe Niger as one of the most climate-change-affected nations on Earth. Yet Niger's poverty, high population-growth rate and lack of resources make it among the least able nations to adapt to this change.
To pessimistic academics, Niger and its Sahel neighbours offer the planet a glimpse of a nightmarish future. To optimistic aid agencies, what happens in Niger this year can serve as a lesson about the value of swift and decisive humanitarian response.
Within this context, the Free Press will report from Niger in the coming days and weeks. The goal is to reduce the obscurity of this most obscure of nations -- and a canary in a geopolitical coal mine.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

I'm currently dealing with emotional problems as is, so it's really important that I figure out whether or not OTCL will help or make this worse.

Most all birth control pills affect your mood or emotions at first maybe the first few months or so this is only because your body is adjusting to it but this usually isn't really noticeable unless your on a high dose I was started on lo estrin 24 and it was just too much for
Me I felt I was goin crazy some days so I had it switch to a lower dose now I've been on it for 2 years with no problems and as far as the sex drive it sometimes decreases it but also it can increase it so it just all depends on how your body responds to it! Hope this helps!

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
Wednesday 02 January 2013 Updated: 02/01 16:24
A RIGHT Royal knees up was held across the city to mark The Queen's Diamond Jubilee over a long weekend at the end of May and start of June.
Street parties were held across Coventry to mark Her Majesty's 60 years on the throne. The city has been a hotspot for parties over the past couple of years as British folk first celebrated Kate and Will's Royal Wedding before this year's milestone.
And it was a right knees-up - literally - in Woodside Avenue South where residents have a traditional knobbly knees competition.
Archbishop Dr Rowan Williams held a special diamond jubilee service at Coventry Cathedral during his visit to the city.
In the city centre, huge parties were held in Millennium Place and Lower Precinct, with FA Cup winner Keith Houchen a special guest at the latter venue.
Shoppers enjoyed a fashion show and the centre even hosted music from every decade with bands playing hits from the 50s to the 2000s.
The extended weekend saw parties across the week, with many on Saturday having to endure rain with true British spirit.
One of those street parties was Headington Avenue in Holbrooks. But locals stuck to their guns threw the rain with cameras from Sky TV even heading down to film activities up and down the street.
Kids enjoyed themselves with races in the road and the party lasted an impressive 11 hours.
Other youngsters to get into the British spirit were pupils at Richard Lee Primary School. The Wyken school held a party in the park to mark the occassion.
Other streets to get involved included Knoll Drive, Stivichall, Arden Street, Earlsdon, Collett Walk, Coundon and Kings Grove, Stoke.

Hope: Demanding the divine words
A bedraggled cliché says that people tend to enter a new year with hope. But hope itself, at least in a Christian context, is often badly misunderstood, hung with the cheap, glittering tinsel of vague sentimentality.
So as we move into 2011, I want to draw on a great thinker who came from largely Catholic France but whose commitment was to the Reformed Church of France. Jacques Ellul (1912-1994) can help us think more realistically about hope.

Otter Pups Eating Breakfast
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida recently helped to rescue two baby otters seen here eating breakfast and looking adorable.
These two baby otters were found completely unresponsive alongside a body of water near Orange Blossom Drive in Naples. After getting a call about a dead otter in the area just a few days prior, when someone called to alert us to two babies with no parents in sight, von Arx Wildlife Hospital Director Joanna Fitzgerald went out herself to bring the pups back to the hospital.

The Seattle Aquarium has a new sea otter, Mishka who went on display last Sunday.
Mishka, Russian for "little bear," is coming to Seattle from the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska. She was rescued after being caught in a fishing net last summer, rehabilitated at the Alaska SeaLife Center and was deemed non-releasable by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

This is great news for researchers as they will now be able to study a nursing mother up close and monitor her caloric needs.
The pup remains nameless, since researchers plan to release it in the wild this summer, after it weans off its mother's milk. To avoid the pup developing an attraction toward humans, researchers limit their interaction, enclosing the pool it shares with its mother behind a screened fence. Its gender remains unknown.

What Kind of Printer Do You Use
I'm in need of a printer and was wondering if ya'll would mind sharing what type you have, how reasonable are the ink cartridges, or maybe you have a laser printer. Any printers you would NOT recommend getting? I recently read where an Epsom printer ran out of one color ink and will not work without replacing all three colored ink cartridges. Do you have this situation with your printer?
My main purpose would be for printing regular black on white paper, photo pics onto good photo paper, pics for crafts and pics onto fabric for printers. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.
Hi Sal ......... I have a Lexmark printer . So far ,I've only printed out website stuff - although it says you can print pictures. God - the ink cartridges are so expensive .... about $30 for black and even more for colored . I never bought picture paper ... but I bet it's not cheap . What I do is .... upload my photo's to the nearest Walgreens .... within the hour they have them printed and ready to pick up for only about 20 cents each . It's worth it to me . You can even have your photo
put onto things like mugs ... sweatshirts , tee-shirts ,pillow covers ... it's all really reasonable. I never liked Walgreens till I found out this. It's sure a money saver !
I only use laser any more. At the offices and at home. We have two brother and one HP. They are so economical and last forever. I also had Lexmark before and would never go back to ink printers. Laser printers are worth the money. Walgreens, sounds like a good deal if you don't mind running to get them. I live 60 miles from one so it wouldn't work for me.
I've had Lexmark prints very well,but it's cheaper to go buy a new printer than to buy ink for it !!
Also had a HP all in one,wonderful printer,there again the ink cost me about 80.00 each time.
So for xmas this past year dh bought me the Kodak Easy Share 5300 and the ink for it is just about 25.00 for both the black and the color,and it also does a good job.
I have a HP Photosmart printer that has the seperate color ink tanks. I really like it.
Photo's do not fade. I have had some that have been on the fridge for a couple years and look great. Someone printed a picture on a Canon photo printer for me - and it looked very faded in just a couple months!
I can buy my ink on eBay far cheaper than from the store. I only use genuine HP tanks - I never refill them either.
My printer will continue to print in b/w if I run out of a color.
I like the seperate tanks - as sometimes I use more reds or blues, depending on what I am printing. I can just replace those tanks as needed.
I think Lexmark printers are junk! I would consider those disposable printers. You CAN buy one cheaper than replacing the inks, LoL :)
I don't recommend all-in-ones, unless you are really short on space.
Thank you so much for the info so far, it is really helpful. I used a cheap HP Officejet a few times and the colors weren't that bad actually (printed on plain white paper). The wire broke on it and I was told it would be cheaper to buy a new printer than get it fixed. I wonder if the guy I was talking to knows the prices of printers and cartridges these days. I don't want to invest good money into something that I'm not going to like for one thing and second, doesn't do what I need it to. I'd like to bring all my crafty stuff to Staples for a trial run, but I don't think they'd let me do that! LOL
I have a HP officejet all in one 6310...prints blk & white fine, but I try printing recipes, etc. with a pic. and the colors are not anywhere near the colors on the screen...mandarin orange slices look green!! I haven't tried printing photos or craft items, but want to, is there a setting I need to change? not software savvy!
I definitely agree about the Lexmark ink cartridges being expensive. One cartridge alone costs as much as a Lexmark printer!! I've also had it tell me I'm low on ink when I've just bought a new cartridge. It's like the printer doesn't know!! I didn't buy mine...the kids got it for me for Christmas a few years ago. It has a scanner also, and that is what I mostly used until I got my digital camera.
I have a Canon i960 and really like it. It uses separate cartridges for each color. I like that because I know I'm not wasting any ink. With the tri-color cartridges you have to replace even if you are out of one of the colors.
My ink tanks cost around $12 each and seem to last a long time. I do a lot of printing - photos, etc.
I've had other brands, but like Canon the best.

Clerk who was beaten, kidnapped in College Station robbery dies in Fort Worth hospital
Updated at 3:31 p.m. Friday:
A College Station man died Friday in a Fort Worth hospital three days after he was beaten and abducted from the convenience store where he worked.
Kevin Garcia, 55, was removed from life support after his organs and tissues were harvested for donation, according to a spokeswoman from Fort Worth's John Peter Smith Hospital.
Garcia was pronounced dead about 1:30 p.m. Friday at the hospital.
The suspect in the assault, Nathan Tillery, was arrested in Fort Worth, hours after the store where Garcia has worked for 14 years was robbed.
Witnesses said the robbery suspect drove away from the store in the victim's pickup with Garcia in the truck bed. He was still there when officers captured Tillery and had been in a coma ever since.
Garcia's sister, Denise Etherton, released a statement on social media after his death:
"It is with great sadness that Bill and I had to say goodbye to my brother, Kevin Garcia. After many tests and discussions with doctors it was decided to remove Kevin from the ventilator. The head trauma from the beating was only minor, however the lack of oxygen to his brain was devastating. Additionally, his kidneys were shutting down and he was completely unresponsive. The doctors said the damage was permanent and that he would not recover. Even though his heart and lungs are in excellent condition, he is not able to breathe enough to sustain life. Kevin is an organ donor and hopefully his last act will be to help others."
Tillery, 36, was returned to Brazos County Jail where he is being held on $520,000. He faces charges of robbery, kidnapping and assault.
Read more about Garcia in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Original post (by Associated Press):
The family of a College Station convenience store clerk critically injured during an abduction before being found in the Fort Worth area earlier this week has decided that he will be removed from life support.
A spokeswoman for Fort Worth's John Peter Smith Hospital said Friday that 55-year-old Kevin Garcia will be maintained on life support until his organ and tissues can be harvested. His family decided Thursday that he should be removed from life support.
Denise Etherton told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram her brother loved working the night shift at the convenience store, a job he's had for 14 years.
Garcia was beaten and abducted from the convenience store Tuesday and driven to far north Fort Worth. Nathaniel Tillery currently faces charges of robbery, kidnapping and assault.

Call duck housing
We have just acquired a pair of call ducks. When I picked them up the lady had
them in a coop that looked like a small house on one end and a screened run
on the other. Inside the "house" was an area for them to sleep, and in the back
was two nesting boxes which were accessable from the outside. The screened
run had a screened bottom also, and had a large dishpan for them to splash in.
The entire unit was above ground (like rabbit hutches) and was an excellent
home for these ducks, especially through the winter months. Does anyone have
something similar with plans for me to build one? It was probably about 5 to 6
foot long and maybe 1 1/2 foot wide. The idea that it could be placed near the
house so it would be accessable during the winter months sounds so good! We
have our barn but we're in the snowbelt and it gets difficult going out that far
a couple times a day to feed and water them.
Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

SherryMississippiHairGreyFine or Thin HairSo Far, So GoodI am 68 yrs young an lost all of my hair to chemotherapy last year. It has grown back, but I think it is a little thinner in places, especially at the crown of my head. I have only used it twice so far. It does seem to make my hair feel a little coarser and thicker, which makes it more manageable. Would have given it 5 stars, but haven't used it enough to know that the results will continue. I hope so.

KcHairMedium BrownNormal HairWorks Great And Doesn't Irritate ScalpI love this root lifter because it works without any negative effect in my scalp. In other words, I don't feel like I have to shampoo my hair any sooner, and my scalp is happy, which I have not found before with a root lifter. The spray comes out in a forceful, directed, but lightweight foam so it can be a little messy to apply. I also like the smell, it is a light hair product-y smell that doesn't overwhelm.16 out of 18 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/18/14
The Minnesota Twins have fired general manager Bill Smith and returned Terry Ryan to the role on an interim basis. The change was announced Monday. Smith was one of Ryan's assistants who took the job four years ago when Ryan stepped down to become a special assistant, citing burnout. Ryan served as general manager from 1994-07. His moves helped turn the Twins from one of the worst teams in baseball in the mid-90s to one of the best the next decade. They won four division titles over Ryan's last five full seasons. Smith's decisions haven't turned out as well, trading Johan Santana, Matt Garza, J.J. Hardy and Delmon Young for little production in return. The Twins lost 99 games this year.

The William Carey University Department of Art hosted the sixth annual High School Art Scholarship Competition on February 28 at the Lucile Parker Gallery on the Hattiesburg campus.
Students from area home schools and four local high schools, including West Jones, South Jones, Sacred Heart and Perry Central, participated in the competition, which awarded a $250 cash award known as the President's Purchase Award and four scholarships to Carey ranging in amounts from $500 to $2,000.
Jessica Wade, a 10th-grader at West Jones, won the President's Purchase Award for her work "Un-employed." Lauren Jones, a 10th-grader at South Jones, won best in show for "Autumn Life" while Keegan Strickland, also a 10th-grader at South Jones, won first place for "The Night-Stacked Days." Virginia Hosey, a 10th-grader at West Jones, won second place for "Broken Bottles" and Brandon Olmi, a 10th-grader at Sacred Heart, won third place for "Green Forest."
Winning honorable mentions at the competition were Ciara Fountain, a 12th-grade homeschooler, for "Ye Olde Barn"; Stephanie Hill, a 12th-grader at Perry Central, for "Untitled #2"; and Laurel Jones, an 11th-grader at West Jones, for "Free-Flowing Lady."

"The fruits and vegetables are good at first but once they wear off, I get hungry," she said. "It's just not enough to get me through the day."
Her mom, Chris Chinn, now packs her protein-heavy snacks like peanut butter crackers and granola bars. Chinn, a critic of what she calls the "one size fits all" standards, said many athletes aren't getting enough to eat. Similarly, Katie Pinke in Wishek, N.D., gave up on school lunches for her strapping freshman son Hunter and packs him meaty sandwiches.
Hunter is a 6-foot-5-inch, 210-pound football player who, based on his size and active lifestyle, needs more than 4,700 calories daily to maintain his weight. He said lunches topping out at 850 calories aren't enough.
"I think it's kind of ridiculous that people say how much we get to eat when there are a lot of kids that are big," Hunter said. "When we can't have our meat and bread, for a guy especially, it's not fun."
Concannon noted the calorie ranges are adjusted for age, increasing as students move from elementary to middle to high school. If some children need more, Concannon said, schools have the option of offering an afternoon snack or parents can send snacks from home.
"If you look at colleges in the United States, if you've ever looked at the tables where they're feeding just the football players. Good God … If you emulated that, we'd all be wearing size 48 suits by our 20s," he said. "You have to use common sense."
And just weeks into the school year, it's probably too early for final grades. In Mississippi, Keba Laird, child nutrition supervisor for the Clinton district, said she is phasing in the nutritional changes to help children grow accustomed to eating healthier.
"We don't want a revolt on our hands," she said. "We want them to enjoy eating with us."

3.31.2015 Updated 12:12AM EST We now have a name of one of the survivors who was in the stolen SUV vehicle. Kevin Fleming, 20 years old, of Baltimore Maryland. Michael Savage, speaker, author, and talk show host of the radio show 'The Savage Nation," reported his name during his show late last evening. It appears Fleming has a criminal record details are not yet known. The name of his cohort who was killed remains undisclosed at present as well as the owner's name of the SUV and the injured police officer working for the NSA.
Updated 6:10pm EST: The two men shot by the NSA Federal police, were heading AWAY from the NSA as seen in the incident scene where the, cross-dressing, confused (and possibly high on some sort of substance) men were both shot. One man was shot to death. The second man was severely wounded and is in critical condition. Reports say he may not survive. The two men had allegedly stolen the black SUV from another man whom they had spent the night with at a Motel. Their relationship with each other and the third man is unknown at this time. It was reported by the local police that the man left at the hotel had indeed called his car in as stolen. Is this a cover story by NSA? They didn't initially say they pulled them over or ordered them to stop due to a police report of any kind. We will let you know. Please notice the directions of vehicles and the location of the NSA versus the road to the Parkway/highway entrance.
Updated 4:20pmEST Washington Post reported: "The vehicle slammed into a police cruiser after shots were fired."
One person was killed and another was injured Monday morning when police with the National Security Agency opened fire on a vehicle whose driver refused commands to stop at a security gate, according to a statement from the agency.
The vehicle slammed into a police cruiser after shots were fired.
The NSA statement says the incident occurred shortly before 9 a.m. when the vehicle entered the NSA complex off the Baltimore Washington Parkway in Anne Arundel County and "failed to obey an NSA police officer's routine instructions for safely exiting the secure campus." The statement says security barriers were raised.
The NSA said that the "vehicle accelerated toward an NSA police vehicle blocking the road" and that police "fired at the vehicle." It then crashed into the police vehicle.
Amy J. Thoreson, a spokeswoman for the FBI, said in a statement that authorities "do not believe [the incident] is related to terrorism." WaPo
AP now wanting to get ahead of all other media. Note the time stamp of 3:55pmEST in its next updated story is over half an hour ahead of current time at time of this post 3:23PMEST See screenshot:
3:05PM EST Fox now reporting crossdressing men appeared to be "on something" and men refused to turn around (at checkpoint) so barricades were erected and they were then shot, one to death, the other hanging on for his life. No weapons reported were in the men's car or in their hands or on their person. How do we know if these guys weren't in need of medical attention in lieu of execution? M. Katherine Orts Pastor's wife to David A. Orts~ USDefenseLeague.com
AP News finally catching up to our factual report just about half an hour ago. Here's a screenshot of their twitter feed.
Shepard Smith of Fox News, still misreporting that a gate at NSA was rammed by two cross-dressing men in SUV. "Deadly faceoff… Military had to shoot because gate was being rammed. That would be inaccurate reporting. And for all stating this is not terrorism. How would you know yet?
Updated:2:30PM EST
Initial Story by ABC has evidently been deleted just checked to see 2:22pmEST Is there a whitewash or cover-up, if so of of what exactly? We hear the Obama admin at the White House was starting to involve itself.
2:25pmEST Foxnews is still misreporting the facts as are most of the MSM. The gate was not breached, rammed or was there ever any attempt to ram the gate at the NSA at Fort Meade, MD. In addition, Fox News is just now reporting that a NSA cop was injured. What's the delay about?
Updated 1245PM EST: USDefenseLeague seeks facts and appears to be one of the few not jumping on the bandwagon of rushing to conclusions before those facts are in. We reported there was no ramming at the gate of the NSA located in Fort Meade, MD. Neither was there even an attempt to ram the gate since the alleged attackers were neutralized prior during a motor vehicle collision between a black SUV and a Federal NSA vehicle in which shots were fired at the alleged two "cross dressing" males. We do not yet know if the alleged attackers were armed or unarmed. The local police force was reporting two individuals showed up at the gate already injured. ~ M. Katherine Orts
Here's a screen grab of another prominent news outlet changing its headline: Notice they now say shot outside gate and blame shooting on trying to ram past a checkpoint????
Update9:47AM EST: Black SUV initially thought to have attempted to ram gate had, in fact, collided with a police vehicle, which then allegedly (Federal NSA police officers) fired upon the occupants of the vehicle, two males who were dressed as women. Information obtained through variety of local sources. NSA put out different initial story of "incident at the gate with two individuals being treated" official initial statement of NSA" and NSA spokesperson is still not reportedly commenting to reporters on scene. ~ USDefenseLeague.com
Update 9:30AM EST:
FBI and ATF now on scene at Fort Meade, MD. One of the men dressed as a woman is dead after attempting to ram the gated entrance of the NSA with a black SUV. One NSA police officer is believed to be shot in the arm and is being treated on site. ~ USDefenseLeague.com
Update 9AM EST— Two men, dressed as women, attempted to ram the gate at the NSA headquarters located at Fort Meade, MD. The guard at the gate, open fired upon the vehicle. One man is dead. Two men are injured.~ USDefenseLeague.com
FORT MEADE, Md. (WJLA/CNN) – Two men tried to ram the main gate to enter the National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade, a federal law enforcement official briefed on the situation told CNN.
An NSA police officer shot one of the men dead, and seriously injured the second, the source told CNN.
NewsChopper 7 video showed two damaged vehicles near the main gate and emergency workers loading an injured man into an ambulance.
There was no explanation yet of what the motivation was for the incident, and no identities of those involved was available yet.
The NSA headquarters is located on the sprawling Fort Meade Army installation near Baltimore.
Initial Local Source: ABC 7 News will update this story as more information become available.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/17/14
Ryan Doumit hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning and rookie Chris Herrmann drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the eighth as Minnesota took two of three from American League Central-leading Detroit. The Tigers had rallied from a 6-2 deficit to tie the score on Austin Jackson's three-run homer off Twins reliever Josh Roenicke in the sixth. Rookie left-hander Andrew Albers received a no-decision despite leaving with a 6-3 lead. MEANING: Closing out their final trip to Detroit this season the Twins won a series at Comerica Park for the first time since last September. They went 4-6 in Detroit this season. ETC.: Tigers starter Justin Verlander was ripped for six earned runs on 10 hits in seven innings. It was the Twins' greatest scoring output against Verlander since June 29 2007 when they scored six earned runs against him in five innings of an 11-1 win at the Metrodome.

The Computer Labs That Created the Digital World 48
from the in-the-beginning dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
This is another one of those "top N, one per page, ads on every page" ad farm trolls.
Their list isn't too impressive, either. Bell Labs, yes. IBM Watson, yes. PARC, yes. But where's the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, from which came ENIAC, and the beginnings of UNIVAC, the first commercial electronic computer to go into production? Also, Bletchly Park wasn't that influential because nobody knew about it until the 1970s.
What we call a "computer" today is properly a stored-program general purpose digital computer. There were machines built before that which had some, but not all, of those attributes. Bletchley Park's machines fall into that category). The WWII US crypto operation was at Arlington Hall, which did more hardware development than Bletchley Park. were developed. They were using punched cards where Bletchley used people and filing cabinets, and they seem to have developed digital magnetic tape, although the history there is cloudy. NSA is the direct descendant of Arlington Hall.
Another major pre-computer computing company was Teleregister, which was a spinoff from Western Union in 1949. They pioneered "remote computing" for stock quotations, railroad ticketing, and airline ticketing. Their Magnetronic Reservisor was the first big remote-access system, with magnetic drums holding the reservation data.

Punk 2011: A Fucked Up Year
The album is officially-officially announced via the band's blog, described as "more punk than the last one, more melodies tho also."
David Comes to Life is completed, and to celebrate, guitarist Mike Haliechuck leaks the album ―except it's really the new Cut Copy record; they pulled the same trick with The Chemistry of Common Life.
During Canadian Music Week, Damian Abraham squashes his beef with Stars' Torq Campbell while hosting The Wedge. The frontman had disagreed with Campbell's Arizona boycott in response to the passage of SB 1070, but they bond through their mutual disapproval of the law itself. And they hug.
Fucked Up perform a live score to the 1928 silent film West of Zanzibar as part of the Images Festival. In celebration of Record Store Day, the band release David's Town, a full-length compilation of fictional late '70s bands hailing from the town of Byrdesdale Spa, the setting for David Comes to Life. Fakes include Porcelain on Porcelain fronted by Danko Jones, and In Good Company, with A.C. Newman. Plus the big Redstockings hit "Unrequited Love," sung by bassist Sandy Miranda.
Fucked Up release their fourth mixtape, combining David snippets, live recordings, side projects, and friends' bands. The Guardian lands in hot water when they run the band's name uncensored, surprising everyone who thought we were over this whole business.
On the eve of David's release, the band converts Queen Street's Clint Roenisch Gallery into a pop-up shop, offering copies of the album alongside sought-after limited-run releases and free beer and crisps. Supplementing the record, they release a series of seven-inches fleshing out each David character. They play a free show at Yonge-Dundas Square, which is weird if you're not used to seeing them play next to the mall. Scott Cudmore makes the band's first real music video for "Queen of Hearts," featuring a spooky post-apocalyptic children's choir.
The band open for the Foo Fighters in Toronto and Montreal, playing some of their biggest shows ever. Haliechuk launches the self-explanatory "art blog" Dressing Room Dicks (dressingroomdicks.blogspot.com).
The Coast puts Fucked Up on the cover of their Halifax Pop Explosion issue, and draws criticism from all the people who are still terribly offended by "that word."
Reports circulate online that Damian is quitting Fucked Up. In response, he tweets: "Hey everyone: I'M NOT QUITTING FUCKED UP." The band performs David in its entirety in New York City.
The band top Exclaim!'s year-end punk list for the third time.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].

There are four main ideas that you must keep in mind when writing your resume:
- Remember that you are selling yourself. You must do it with absolute perfection.
- You must showcase all your talents
- Ensure that you make your weaknesses your strengths.
- Always showcase your accomplishments and talents. Do not always stick to the job lists and the activities that you have taken part in.
Importance of a resume
Your resume is your marketing brochure. It is how you show your potential employers like these business brokers that you are worth their company and will actually make a difference to their company.
First meeting
Your resume is the first meeting between you and your potential employer. We have all heard of the expression, "First impressions are the lasting impressions". This holds true for your resume. You will want to be remembered by your employer as organized and sophisticated rather than a wrinkled, unorganized person. Most companies do not have the time to interview every applicant that sends in a request. They usually filter the applicants based on their resume. So this is one of the most crucial documents that you need to have perfected. To understand more about this click here.
Almost your autobiography
Your resumes are similar to your autobiographies. Everybody has a story that needs to be told. However, the story must be very crisp. Your resume does this for you. It has every detail about your academic and professional life. Your resume needs to shout out loudly saying that it is you that needs to be hired over the hundred or thousand other applicants that the company has. This should happen even when the post you are applying for is not relevant to your area of study. The HR must be compelled to look through your resume even if you are not perfect for that post.
You learn more about yourself
Most people are never confident of how they feel about themselves. They find that what they do for a living is not exactly interesting and start losing interest. While brainstorming for your resume pointers, you learn a little bit more about yourself. You start understanding yourself better. You will gain so much confidence in yourself. It will be great if you can carry this new found confidence to the interview! You will be able to ace it for sure.
The main purpose – interview
The entire purpose of building a resume is to get that interview! You should showcase your qualities in such a way that your potential employer wants to get to know you better. It is your best friend and is what will lead you forward in your career if written properly. You have to use it to your advantage. Remember – Never ever lie! This only creates a trove of problems for you. To know more about how to build your resume, click here
Common mistakes
Every person is in a hurry while creating a resume. They might want to create the best resume that was ever written and might sometimes falsify information. This is one of the worst things to ever do since the data that you send to your potential employer is always checked.
Apart from such errors, a person makes simple errors that he can avoid completely if he works with a little more concentration while working on the resume. To know more about such errors, click here.
Grammatical Errors
You will have to make sure that you have a resume that is grammatically perfect. You will have to ensure that you have not misplaced the articles or the conjunctions. If you have then you can be sure that your potential employers will read between the lines and make conclusions that you do not care about the job you are applying for and also that you cannot write.
Not providing enough information
Remember to provide enough information for all your experiences and activities. Most people say that you need to limit yourself to a two page resume. But this does not mean that you need to avoid providing the information that is necessary to be sent to the employer. That being said, you should not send out five page resumes. This will bore your potential employer and you would not want that. However, if you can fit your details into one page then go ahead and do that. As long as you use the perfect terms to describe yourself, you are completely set for the interview process to begin.
Bad Objectives
The first section of your resume is your career objective. You should remember that your employers always read your resume objective! You must keep in mind that they do not appreciate vague objectives. They are genuinely interested to know where you would like to see yourself in their company and in which position you would like to find yourself. Your objective tells your employer about your long term and short term goals. If you give your employer a perfect objective, they will know that you know what you want from life and what you expect out of life. Some good examples of what to focus on in your resume are listed on this site
Incorrect Information
Sometimes you might find that you never get calls from employers even though you have a very strong resume. This might be because you have given incorrect contact information. Remember to check all your details carefully before sending out your resume. Do not assume that the details that you have typed in are correct and take it for granted that you will get calls from companies. Make sure you double check and triple check if you have to!
