ICE Agents Arrest 200 in Immigration Sweep in Northern California
Immigration agents arrested about 200 people in Northern California and more than 3,100 nationwide in a 6-day sweep last week looking for immigrants who can be deported because they have a criminal record or ignored deportation orders.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents arrested 37 people in Santa Clara County, 18 in Alameda County and 16 in Contra Costa County as part of the 50-state "Operation Cross Check," which ended on Thursday.
The arrests include legal and illegal immigrants who are deportable because of crimes they committed. Also arrested were immigration fugitives, who are people living in the country illegally who have ignored deportation orders. Agents also arrested more than 500 people who had illegally re-entered the United States after being deported.
About 90 percent of the people arrested nationwide had criminal convictions; 47 percent of all those arrested had felony convictions.
Of the 200 arrested in Northern California, half had convictions "for serious or violent crimes," according to an ICE statement. The agency did not release the names of all those arrested or their crimes.
President Obama has repeatedly stated that he wants to focus resources on criminal aliens and fugitive aliens with outstanding deportation orders. Recently, he announced that he plans to halt deportations in several immigration courts nationwide in order to focus efforts on priority cases.
If you or a loved one is currently in immigration court proceedings in Los Angeles, contact The Nunez Firm to schedule a free consultation. Managing attorney Jay Nunez will help you better understand the options available to you.

Nice hotel centeral downtown locationPosted Nov 23, 2014
Great hotel. I would definitely stay there again. The staff made me and my travel companion feel special. Nice boutique hotel in the heart of Miami. Pros: Clean, friendly staff, unique, centeral location, close to the cruise port and airport. Cons: Minimal staff available to wait tables and assist customers in the lounge area where you can get complimentary breakfast. The complimentary breakfast selection in limited, but suitable as it is free. Tell your limo/taxi driver that the hotel is located in the Marriot Marquis Hotel, otherwise it will be difficult to find. Overall, a pleasant stay and I would definitely recommend to others and/or stay there again myself.

Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits à l'hôtel Beaux Arts et notre séjour a été parfait du début à la fin. Les chambres sont sublimes, très bien équipées, et la localisation de l'hôtel est idéale. Surtout, le personnel a été extraordinaire. Ils étaient tous très gentils et d'une grande bienveillance, notamment les deux serveurs en charge du petit déjeuner (ils étaient d'un grand professionnalisme et si gentils !) et Philippe à la réception.

Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has left hospital after treatment for back injuries suffered in a fall in Lahore.
Khan on Wednesday walked out via a back exit of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital in the eastern city of Lahore, where he was being treated, avoiding reporters, local television reported.
He has been transferred to his Lahore residence.
"He would stay in his Lahore home for three days and then would be shifted to his home in Islamabad," Khwaja Nazir, a spokesman for the hospital said.
"Doctors have advised him rest, for two more weeks."
He has vowed to lead protests in Islamabad as soon as his doctors, who have advised him to rest in bed for the next few days, allow him to travel.

The election candidate was fitted with a spinal brace to aid recovery after falling from a fork-lift taking him to a poll campaign podium on May 7.
A general election four days later handed a landslide victory to Nawaz Sharif and his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
But Khan's campaign electrified many citizens, pushing his Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) from a marginal party to the country's third-largest.Khan has accused the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) of involvement in killing a senior PTI member on Saturday outside her home in the upscale defence area of Karachi, capping a bloody election in which about 150 people were killed nationwide.MQM leaders condemned the killing by unidentified gunman and demanded a retraction from Khan.

i think android 5 use proprietary usb otg drivers and they does not supports everything. for example, on my OPO, i can play music through UAPP ONLY. every other software, included i.e. neutron, does not work. neutor does not even open (force close) and other software can't reproduce songs nor any audio.
thanks - that doesn't sound good
99% of my content is outside of standard music player app :( spotify, netflix, amazon prime etc
there must be some sort of standard for usb audio out ? Samsung didn't write the drivers for instance to specifically work with my Fiio E17 - so both the E17 and 4.4 must have communicated using some known standard ?

United States Senate special election in New Jersey, 2013
The special election was held to fill the vacancy left by the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D) on June 3, 2013.[2] His seat was filled with a temporary replacement appointed by Governor Chris Christie until the special election elects a permanent successor.[3]
Christie announced at a press conference on June 4, 2013, that he had opted against appointing a successor to Lautenberg to serve until the 2014 election, and instead announced the special election.[4] Christie also said he would appoint an interim Senator to serve between June and November. On June 6, 2013, Christie announced New Jersey Attorney General Jeff Chiesa would serve as the interim Senator.[5][4][6]
New Jersey has a mixed primary system -- registered Democrats and Republicans can only vote in their own party's primary, but previously unaffiliated voters may declare a party at the polls. Independent voters may also vote in either party's primary. The registration deadline for voting in the primary was July 23, 2013, 21 days before the primary.[7]
Turnout in the primary election was low, with about 9% of the state's registered voters actually casting a ballot.[8] Only the 2006 U.S. Senate primary had lower turnout, with approximately 8%.[8] Low-turnout was predicted, with around 1.2 million voters — less than half the New Jersey electorate in 2012, expected to vote in the primary elections.[9]
Democrats were heavily favored to retain the seat as New Jersey had not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 40 years.[10]

Race background
Christie's decision to call a special election was challenged in the state's Supreme Court.[28] Opponents argued the law required the special election to be held the same time as Christie's gubernatorial election three weeks later, rather than October 16, 2013.[29] Challengers argued that voters could be disenfranchised as a result of the election date.[29]
The state Superior Court ruled against the plaintiffs and said that Gov. Chris Christie acted properly when he decided to hold a special election on October 16.[30] The court cited NJSA 19:27-6, which provided that if a vacancy occurs in the U.S. Senate the election shall take place at the general election next succeeding unless the vacancy occurs within 70 days next preceding the primary election prior to the general election.[30]
"Without question, the Governor was authorized to call a special election in this circumstance, where the vacancy occurred one day prior to the primary," the court's decision said.[30] The court held that there was no evidence a separate election would generate voter confusion.[29] Opponents attempted to seek an appeal of the decision,[29] but on June 20, 2013 the state Supreme Court denied a request to hear the appeal.[31]
When asked whether he planned to endorse Steve Lonegan (R) in the Senate race, Gov. Christie responded by saying, "I've got my own campaign to run, first off. And so to the extent that I can be helpful to the Republican nominee, whoever that turns out to be, I'm sure that I'll find some time to be helpful, but I have my own campaign to run at the same time and so my focus will be on my campaign."[32]
Reimburse counties
Gov. Chris Christie announced in July 2013 that counties will be reimbursed for the additional costs of holding two special elections to fill a Senate seat in New Jersey in 2013.[33][34]
The Office of Legislative Services estimated the cost for renting polling places, transporting voting machines, printing and mailing ballots and hiring additional staff to be close to $24 million.[35] At a news conference, Christie said he was still not sure the actual costs to each county.[35]
"As soon as they send in their bills, we'll audit them, look at their books to make sure no one is trying to play games with us and get something for nothing," Christie said.[35]
The Division of Elections expected to reimburse counties before December 31, 2013.[35]

General election
"A Senator to Get Things Done."
American Commitment Action Fund's October 2013 ad, "#BookerFAIL: A Record of Failure."
American Commitment Action Fund released a $130,000 buy ad on October 9, 2013, that responded to Bloomberg's ad. The ad said money Booker secured from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg did not go to Newark school classrooms and the schools were still failing.[36]
New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's super PAC, Independence USA, announced on October 6, 2013, that it spent $1 million to air an ad in support of Booker.[37]
Democratic primary
Rep. Rush Holt released his first video of the campaign on June 19, 2013, in which he started the video by admitting that he is no Cory Booker.[38] "I'll be the first to admit, I'm no Cory Booker. I don't have a million Twitter followers, I've never run into a burning building, and I'm not friends with Mark Zuckerberg, though I did like him on Facebook."[39][38] Many believed that the video was a smart move for Holt, who many believed had no chance of competing with Booker's massive online following, the millions of dollars he raised and the celebrity status he attained.[38] As the video made clear, Holt was not going to try. Instead, he embraced the role of quirky underdog in his primary bid for Senate seat.[38]
Holt released an introductory campaign video on June 19, 2013, in which he made clear that he is not Cory Booker, the Democratic frontrunner in the special election.
Cory Booker released his first ad of his Senate campaign on June 26, 2013, "Run"
Democratic frontrunner Cory Booker launched his first TV ad as a Senate candidate, which played up his accomplishments as mayor of Newark.[13] The ad, "Run," began on June 26, 2013, and featured the mayor speaking directly to camera, where he argued that he made progress on issues like guns, education and business. "I've proven that by bringing people together even with big problems, we can make big progress and improve people's lives," Booker said in the ad.[13] The ad was part of a reported $400,000-plus ad buy.[13]
Booker's second ad, released July 9, 2013, repeated much of his first ad, and highlighted his record as mayor of Newark.[40]
In his third television ad, Booker focused on Social Security, and the ad featured him addressing a series of issues including equal pay, a higher minimum wage and ending child poverty to promote equality.[41]
"No matter what your background, race, culture, gay or straight, North Jersey or South Jersey, rich or poor, are lives are interconnected. We cannot have politics that divide instead of bringing us together," Booker said[41]
Booker's insistence that he would stand up for Social Security followed Oliver's accusations that he was not answering her questions on the issue. Oliver, who lagged in the polls, attacked Booker for taking to Twitter to answer questions about the movie "Snarknado," yet failing to respond to her.[41]
Frank Pallone released his first ad of his Senate campaign on July 21, 2013, "You can Count on Frank"
Cory Booker released his third ad of his Senate campaign on July 21, 2013, "People"
On July 21, 2013, Frank Pallone, who unveiled a series of online videos, stuck with his theme of being an average New Jersey resident in his first ad of the campaign.[41] It featured shots of Pallone campaigning in New Jersey, interspersed with clips of supporters that touted Pallone's work.[42]
"The son of a cop, Frank Pallone knows working New Jersey," a narrator says, adding that the "middle-class father of three…gets things done."[42] The ad credited Pallone with steering the health care overhaul through Congress and preventing the Tea Party from dismantling Social Security.[42]
In the final week leading up to the Democratic primary, Rush Holt launched a $350,000 ad buy.[43] The buy started on August 6 in the New York City media market, one of the two major ones that stretch into New Jersey, and the Philadelphia cable market. It ran until the day of the primary, August 13.[43]
As part of the ad buy, Holt launched an ad blasting Newark Mayor Cory Booker as "no progressive.".[44] The ad listed Holt's experience as a scientist and teacher and featured him in a chemistry classroom, talking about policy proposals he said Booker opposed, including a carbon tax, breaking up big banks and banning government surveillance programs.[45]
Rush Holt's August 12, 2013, appearance on The Colbert Report's, "Know a District" segment.
Rush Holt's ad released in the final week prior to the Democratic primary, "Rush Holt for Senate"
"I approved this message because Cory Booker may be the frontrunner in this race, but he's no progressive," he said at the end.[45]
Hoping to benefit from the "Colbert bump," Rep. Rush Holt appeared on Comedy Central's, "The Colbert Report" the day before the U.S. Senate primary, as part of the show's 435-part series "Better Know a District."[46][47]
"Why do you want to be a Senator, though?" Colbert asked. "After years of being in a do-nothing Congress, do you want to join a do-nothing Senate?"[48] Holt replied, "I want to make it a do-something Senate."[48]
Colbert jokingly chided Holt over his opponent, Cory Booker, who, if elected, would become the first African-American U.S. Senator from New Jersey.[48] "Tell the people of New Jersey right now why you think that's a bad idea to elect the first black Senator from New Jersey," Colbert asked.[48]
Holt downplayed the historical significance of a Booker victory. "You know, race is something that is losing its meaning, when you realize that most people in America are of mixed heritage," Holt said.[48]
Campaign donors
October 2013
As of October 4, 2013, Booker outraised Lonegan 8-to-1, collecting $11.2 million to Lonegan's $1.35 million.[49]
July 2013
Cory Booker (D) announced on July 11, 2013, that he raised $4.6 million in the prior three months for his U.S. Senate campaign, a major showing of financial strength.[50] Booker's fundraising total for 2013, as of July 11, was $6.5 million. He ended the quarter with $4.5 million in cash on hand. In July 2013 Booker started airing cable ads in the New York and Philadelphia markets, both of which were among the most expensive in the country.[50]
Booker announced on July 16, 2013 that he would be making a campaign fundraising stop in Washington D.C. on July 18, 2013 with five events in one day.[51] The effort is expected to be his only trip to Washington, D.C., before the August 13th primary.[51]
Four of the fundraisers are being hosted by Democratic K Streeters and supporters are asked to contribute between $1,000 per person to more than $10,000 to co-host an evening reception.[51] The fundraising event is a major contrast to the D.C. Society of Young Professionals fundraiser in April 2013 for Booker before he announced his Senate bid. That event was at hipster bar Jack Rose Dining Saloon and asked for just $40 for those under 35 and $100 for general admission.[51]
General election
Cory Booker
- New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's super PAC, Independence USA, announced on October 6, 2013, a $1 million ad buy in support of Booker.[52]
- The New Jersey State AFL-CIO Executive Board voted unanimously to endorse Cory Booker on August 15, 2013.[53] "Mayor Cory Booker offers a fresh progressive vision for building consensus in Washington while maintaining a staunch commitment to fighting for the core values of our middle class," said State AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech. "Mayor Booker has built a record as a champion for the Newark community, taking on poverty and crime as well as fighting to foster economic growth and provide good jobs and opportunity to working families. The vision Mayor Booker will bring to the U.S. Senate will be one of compromise, compassion, and fighting for the common good."[53]
- President Obama endorsed Booker on August 21, 2013, saying if elected he would be "an important partner in our efforts to reduce gun violence, give every American a fair shot in a global economy, and make our country stronger."[54]
- "Cory Booker has dedicated his life to the work of building hope and opportunity in communities where too little of either existed. Whether as a college student working in East Palo Alto or as mayor of New Jersey's largest city, Cory has time and again taken on tough challenges, fought for the middle class and those working to join it, and forged coalitions that create progress – and that's the spirit he'll carry with him to Washington," Obama said in a statement.[54]
- Vice President Joe Biden's planned campaign stop for October 11, 2013, was canceled due the government shutdown.[55]
- Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and several other major Hollywood stars hosted a fundraiser for Cory Booker on September 23, 2013.[56] Ron Burkle hosted the event at his house with Matt Damon, with tickets ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Other co-hosts for the evening affair included Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Jerry Weintraub, JJ Abrams and wife Katie McGrath, Michael Eisner, Troy Carter, WME Co-CEO Patrick Whitesell, talent agency head Bob Gersh, Disney exec Sean Bailey, Netflix's Ted Sarandos and former US Ambassador Nicole Avant.[56]
Steve Lonegan
- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) recorded robocalls on behalf of Lonegan in the final days of the campaign.[57]

Just weeks before leaving office as the interim Senator in Massachusetts, Mo Cowan endorsed Cory Booker on June 4, 2013.[67] Cowan noted that he was just the eighth black American to serve in the Senate, and continued by saying "As I vacate the hallowed halls of Congress, perhaps he'll come in not too late after me and continue I hope is a very popular trend in the Congress, particular in the Senate, which is to continue to show representation of all people."[67] On June 9, 2013 Booker received the backing of George E. Norcross III, an insurance executive and hospital chairman who is seen as "the most powerful figure in New Jersey Democratic politics" according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.[68]
Two of the most powerful unions in the state, The New Jersey Education Association and the state branch of the Communication Workers Association of America, announced on June 12, 2013, that they planned to withhold endorsements in the August 13th primary election.[69] "We're unlikely to endorse in the primary. This is a really politically complicated situation for organizations like ours because we have good friends running against each other, so there's no advantage for us to get involved in this primary," said NJEA government relations director Ginger Gold.[69]

German Statice - information request
Does anyone grow German Statice? I'd love to hear from someone with first hand experience. I would like to plant some, but don't know much about it, or even if its New England hardy. It seems a hardy plant. I buy it to make wreaths, but recently thought I should try to grow it myself.
Would love to hear from anyone with experience with this plant. I did a search and didn't come up with much.
Thank you in advance.
I don't grow statice, but I know that sea lavender is a perennial statice that grows wild on the tidal flats on the NH and MA seacoast so should be hardy for you.
I found a link that says German statice is hardy to zone 4, so that also should be hardy. I don't know anything about this seed company, but garden watchdog might have some information.
Here is a link that might be useful: Limonium
I grew german statice,Limonium tataricum, in my nursery years ago. I wish I knew you then-nobody bought it although its really beautiful! It overwintered in pots in zone 6b above the ground. I think it should be used more in planters etc... It looks great throughout the season and is light and textural at the same time. In the ground, I had no problems in full sun to part shade. I would think it would not like wet soil but recently, I saw sea statice,Limonium latifolium,growing in a wet sand bog-albeit in sand at the edge-but still! Both Limoniums are incredibly drought tolerant.There are several other species,some crosses and named varieties that look interesting as well.You might want to look into some of the others for dried arrangements too. I was able to divide the German statice repeatedly. I think some lived in two gallon containers for around 8 years before they finally had it. Limonium sinuatum is sometimes found in annual packs in spring. I never had much luck getting it to flower in the ground but Im curious to see if it will do well in pots. Its perennial in mild climates and could join my family of "haulers" -or pots of "annuals"(tender perennials) that I haul into the basement every winter. Now that you have reminded me-I think Im going to search german statice out again-it would look great with the sedums that I have had living in some large planters for years-I think they could duke it out without a problem-and without any watering too!

"This apartment was the most luxurious I have ever holidayed in"
It was spotless, very comfortable, well equiped and beautifully located. the grounds and swimming pool area are gorgeous. It is just a short walk to the marina, shops and town of lagos, full of great restaurants, shops and bars. The beach is also just a short walk away and is everything a beach should be. Mandys bar/restaurant is on the beach and serves great food. I am definitely going back and will be looking to stay in the Marina Apartments again.

Nashua's DataGravity reveals product release date
DataGravity, which raised $42 million in venture capital, said its goal is for companies to gain new insights and make better business decisions by analyzing its data more efficiently."We can tell you a chain of custody about a topic; who's interacting on a particular topic," company co-founder Paula Long said last week. "We can say four people were writing articles on robots and using content on robots. ... We could tell you who's doing most of the writing and most of the reading."The product also can be used to help track who had access to sensitive company information that was leaked outside the company, she said.
In a statement, Long said, "The future of storage is about much more than just the data container; it's about delivering the integrated technology that lets users hear what the data they're storing has to say about their business, and we see that future starting now."

Snow surfing.... Binding free splitboarding
A Snowboarding video by nearls - 7,237 views
Self propelled snow surfing with a split board. Bindings get used for the hike up, then they go in the back pack and a set of traction pads are attached to surf powder down the mountain. No Helicopter, no snowmobile, no cat, no lift, and no snowshoes. this is the "greenest" and fastest way to pursue the powder without bindings. If the powder turns to hard pack or terrain gets too challenging just throw the bindings back on. Can also be adapted to a standard 4x4 snowboard. Contact email@example.com for general inquiries. Ride the white wave.

Mason bee nest box mystery
I have a mason bee next box hanging in my garden which they do use.
This year, in addition to the mason bees, there is something else nesting in the holes. I assume whatever it is has something further back in the tube and then plugs the hole not with mud but with folded over grass blades. They are a few inches long and extend into the hole, fold over the diameter of the hole and then stick back out, effectively a U shape for each blade. Sometimes they are twisted a bit.
Any ideas what bugs these are?
It may be be the grass-carrying wasp. (Yes, I know that sounds as if I made it up, but it's true.) That wasp provisions its cells with snowy tree crickets.
A number of home gardeners here in the northern part of the Willamette Valley who keep mason bee nests have had them nesting in our tubes for several years.

We recently stayed here with a few other members of our wedding party and were very pleasantly surprised by our room, which was spacious, private, with a king bed, and an opening window in the bathroom, with a view! This is an intimate place and each suite is unique, some with decks accessible only from your room, as well as table and chairs outside each room entrance. The hotel is centrally located, so it's very close to all the shops and restaurants on 5th Avenue. We walked the beach every day to the Cozumel ferry dock and either walked back along 5th Avenue or just walked back along the beach. Some of the reviews have mentioned the nightclub noise and you could hear the nightclubs, however we found that with the air-conditioning on, it did not bother us at all and we did not use the earplugs we had brought with us. The continental breakfast was great and served right by the ocean. Their coffee was delicious, the fruit plate was yummy, and there was toast with jam and butter, as well as OJ. We would definitely go back and we would stay here. We were on the 3rd (top) floor, which we really liked.
