Woman dies after she's stabbed at apartments
SAN YSIDRO: A 33-year-old woman visiting a friend in San Ysidro was fatally stabbed early yesterday inside a gated apartment complex, San Diego police said.
Homicide investigators said Araceli Noriega went to the Villa Serena apartments on Dairy Mart Road near Vista Lane to visit a female friend who lives in the complex.
The two women were joined by several others at an upstairs apartment Wednesday night. The group of about five people spent about an hour on the apartment's landing and were listening to music and drinking, Lt. Kevin Rooney said.
During that time, the victim walked away from the group several times. Rooney said she was away for only a few minutes every time she left, but she was not in the group's line of sight.
She returned a final time about 12:20 a.m., clutching at herself because she had been stabbed, Rooney said.
She collapsed and died at a hospital about an hour later.
Homicide investigators said they don't know why Noriega walked away or what she was doing when she was alone.
Police ask anyone with information to call homicide investigators at (619) 531-2293 or the Crime Stoppers tip line at (888) 580-8477.
Section of border tunnel had lights, authorities say
U.S. law enforcement agents investigating an incomplete border tunnel west of the San Ysidro crossing said yesterday that a 53-foot section of the passageway was shored up with plywood and equipped with battery-powered lights.
The unearthed segment was reached yesterday by officers from the Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said. The tunnel is east of Smugglers Gulch.
The tunnel's builders entered through a manhole near the border fence in Mexico and crawled through 700 feet of sewer drain, on both sides of the border, Mack said. The U.S. agents found an exit to the tunnel covered by a sofa cushion on the grounds of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Law enforcement officials believe the tunnel was being built to smuggle people and drugs.
Suspect in carjacking is found in stolen car
ESCONDIDO: Sheriff's deputies arrested a man on suspicion of attempted burglary and carjacking yesterday morning when they responded to a report of a prowler and found the suspect in a stolen car, authorities said.
Deputies were called to an unincorporated area near Escondido to investigate a report of a man in an unfenced backyard trying to open doors about 6:40 a.m., sheriff's Sgt. Mark Moreno said.
They found the 22-year-old man in a white car on Scandia Court near Lendee Drive.
Deputies determined that the car had been carjacked from a security guard at the Escondido Village Mall on East Valley Parkway about 3 a.m., Moreno said. No weapon was seen by the victim, Escondido police said.

A 'Forward' blogger seems to think so
Tablet Magazine doesn't often focus on Heidi Klum—she hasn't renamed herself Miriam to join the celeb Kabbalah crew or made her position known on the prompt shuttering of Brighton Beach Memoirs. But a blogger at the Forward has overcome that problem, observing today that in Klum's role as Project Runway host, she relishes announcing the fate of contestants who are "'eliminated' (eliminated!)." See, the Nazis eliminated people too, and they were German, just like Klum, so therefore there's some sort of Nazi aura encircling Klum, and the blogger, Rebecca Honig Friedman, taking Jewish paranoia to ridiculously childish heights, has a hard time with that projected aura. In fact, confesses Friedman (whom we've met, and who seems a reasonable, nice gal), whenever Klum "announces to the panel of quaking designers, in her German accent, 'One of you will be in, and one of you will be out,' either my husband or I will mock, in our own fake German accents, 'One of you will go to the right, and one of you will go to the left.'" (That joke has got to be stale by now—Project Runway is currently in its sixth season). Furthermore, Friedman notes, Klum doesn't say "please" to the competitors—unlike the sultrier Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef, giving proof of her lack of compassion, obvs a Nazi trait. Sure, Friedman acknowledges she's making a leap—but, hey, a leap never stopped a person from comparing supermodels to fascists, or from indulging in stereotypes, or from revealing how a sense of victimhood can color something as addictive and inane as a reality show.
We'll leave the charges that Friedman's post is racist to her commenters.

If you're planning on buying a PC or laptop in the U.S., may I suggest you hold off for a while.
Given the slumping sales of desktop and notebook computers and growth in popularity of tablets and smartphones, there's considerable pricing pressure on PCs.
I expect that in the coming months there will be further erosion on PC prices in the U.S.
Just keep checking your weekly Best Buy, Staples or Office Depot flyers!
Apple has proven to be the principal beneficiary and leader in two of the fastest non-PC categories – tablets and smartphones.
Except for some highly specialized apps, there's little an average person cannot do with a tablet. Plus, tablets are far more secure compared to the virus-plagued PCs and notebooks.
And Dell's fortunes have taken a beating given its focus on PCs and failure with other consumer devices. Any surprise then that Dell decided to go private!

Great news, Ubuntu is entering the tablet/smart phone market.
I am not sure about the smart phones but ubuntu tablets would be excellent in my opinion for all those who like linux. Tablets with other flavours of linux would be great too. All we need is some one to start selling their tablets. We already have a pc vendor system76 selling linux stuff preinstalled.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I've read about Ubuntu for smartphones and Tablets.
Even if they do it, the big issue is apps availability and marketing it to those who think iPad is the be all and end all of tablets.
Bottom line, I don't think Ubuntu will go anywhere on Tablets or Smartphones.
tiramisu says:
This ain't news at all. Various vendors experimented with Linux variants on the phone and tablet. Remember the Nokia N Series tablets. Linux or Ubuntu won't go anywhere on Tablets, Smartphones or Desktops for that matter.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I think Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) makes money off services/consultancy and it's in their interest to keep the visibility high!
As I said earlier, Linux ain't going nowhere on tablet or smartphones.
To think that Ubuntu Linux will make it on tablets when HP couldn't and was forced to go in for a fire-sale (to dump its inventory) is ridiculous.
As for Linux desktops, they've been talking about it for over a decade with little to show for it!
Even if they demo a proof of concept, app developers will not follow because of the slim pickings. And without them, there ain't no hope.

Kai po che getting raving reviews all over.
Is it released over there? Can we expect review?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Kai po che is releasing tomorrow here.
I watched the trailer two or three times in the theatre….I didn't get too excited.
Indians seem to have a morbid fascination for anything by Chetan Bhagat. I've read his Five Point Someone and seen its movie version 3 Idiots. So mediocre!
rmadasu says:
Couldn't agree more.
3 idiots is waay overrated, how did this movie become so successful?
As for Chetan Bhagat never read him, but I understand most critics shred him to pieces, apparently his writing is atrocious but it seems to meet the lowest common denominator of people who think Sidney Sheldon's books are the peak of literary writing.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Chetan Bhagat is the Rajnikanth of Indian authors.
spity says:
Oh please SI, do you really believe a tablet can replace a desktop/laptop functionally?……just because the sales of tablet are great and increasing does not mean you should recommend all people to buy tablets over desktops/laptops.
First of all tablets are created to perform limited functions such as playing videos, music viewing pics and video games(no way near pc gaming and touch controls suck) and run some fancy apps such as garage band.
A desktop/laptop (windows,mac….) on the other hand can be used to perform operations much more than that of a tablet. For example you cannot make a tablet a database server, you cannot use a tablet to create a basic web page and so forth.
An android tablet is better in matching laptop skills than an iPad which relies heavily on tons of dedicated fun apps , considering the fact that ios does not have pure multitasking like android.
The ipad 4 with all its fancy gpu is just a poor man's alienware.
In the end a tablet is a tablet and serves it purpose well, being a toy.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: A desktop/laptop (windows,mac….) on the other hand can be used to perform operations much more than that of a tablet. For example you cannot make a tablet a database server, you cannot use a tablet to create a basic web page and so forth.
You are bloody right.
What a shame, we cannot use our tablet as a database server, a fault-tolerant system (like the old Tandem Computers) or, better still, as a nuclear launch missile (and wipe out Pakistan).
Good Lord! What world do you inhabit.
Definitely not the one the rest of us do.
99% of web surfers don't give a flying f*ck about using their PC as a database server, MySQL, Sybase, Ingress, Oracle, or for launching nuclear missiles etc.
All they care about is web surfing, watching porn, e-mail, watching porn, Facebook, watching YouTube, Twitter, watching movies, watching porn, reading news, watching porn, not getting viruses, watching porn, listening to music, watching porn, weather reports, playing games, watching porn, watching TV, watching porn.
And, of course, blogging and responding to silly comments. 😉
And a tablet like iPad/Android handles all of that effectively.
OMG, I'm watching the Hyderabad bomb blast reports live on NDTV on the iPad tablet.
rmadasu says:
I want to add that for most of the tablet uses you mentioned a browser would do the trick.
This could be why Chrome Book is not doing too badly either. Firefox is pushing their OS for tablets/smart phones too. Their claim is that we should be able to build apps using html5, css and javascript and they should run on any device.
The problem now is that developers have to write apps specifically for the apple platform or android platform.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: The problem now is that developers have to write apps specifically for the apple platform or android platform
This is an argument I've been hearing for over two decades.
In the old days, ISVs (independent software vendors) were flayed for preferring to focus their energies on the Windows platform.
The computing industry (at least the consumer side) will always be an arena where no more than one or two platforms will be strong, and therefore attract most of the developers to build applications for the platform.
The same logic applies to smaller form factor platforms like iOS or Android. That's the main reason I expect Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices to fail – lack of developer enthusiasm for the platform.
Naveen says:

For someone who watches so much porn they would need a stable surface and hands-free device and hence laptop / pc would work better 😉
I am curious if the above sequence of activities is what the women would also do!!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
I can assure you that most iPad owners have a hands-free cover/stand that you can place on your stomach while lying down in bed and conveniently "watch the wonders of the world" in all its glorious colors – White, Black and Brown! 😉
Women, I suppose, skip the news and Twitter and the games and spend more time on the other 'more important stuff.
boopalanj says:
I assure you that one hand suffices mostly. 😉
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Aren't you supposed to keep both hands on the steering(s)
I bet your iPad has a nice, convenient stand for hands-free "operation." 😉
boopalanj says:
Thomas Watson supposedly said – "There is a world market for about 5 Personal Computers" and Bill Gates seemingly said – "Internet is just a fad", although there are no direct sources. (But their actions in the past shows that there are sufficient grounds for they had such a notion initially.)
We don't know what might happen when, in this industry. We currently cannot do a program in Tablet in the way that we used to do in a desktop. That's like saying "I am not able to melt an iron rod in the electric induction stove, while I'm able to do it in a furnace." Both have different ways of doing it, and different purposes.
If some means of programming through tablet comes up – without a need to type keywords, probably through voice (like Aswin Kini said), or improved shortcuts which generates chunk of codes just on few clicks, it will still be possible. There are apps already available to connect to a database or do simple javascript / HTML pages in the tablet. But typing a program is very intrusive in a tablet currently. Also, since programming is memory intensive, It might just take some time.
But tablets over a period of time, might replace many of these tasks. We can't be so sure that something won't happen in technology.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. My favorite quote on the computer industry will always be Michael Dell's comment on Apple in 1997:
What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.
2. Predicting the trajectory of the computing industry is a task only for the foolhardy.
Except for Moore's Law, all other forecasts and predictions have fallen by the wayside.
Aswin_Kini says:
SI said: "Apple has proven to be the principal beneficiary and leader in two of the fastest non-PC categories – tablets and smartphones.
Except for some highly specialized apps, there's little an average person cannot do with a tablet. Plus, tablets are far more secure compared to the virus-plagued PCs and notebooks".
I am not very sure about Tablets replacing PCs and Laptops in the very near-future. Maybe, it would be possible after a decade when the technology would be so advanced that we can input the data orally, even our passwords, despite the accent/slang.
I have personally worked with an iPad and Laptop. I found that while iPad is good for normal users like checking mail, playing games, watching news, videos etc, it doesn't help me much when it comes to work. As my job profile requires me to multi-task with documents and do a lot of typing, I do not find iPad or any other tablet catering to my needs, especially iPad mainly due to it touchscreen keyboard and compatibility issues.
I think we should wait for a few more years before writing obituaries to PCs and Laptops.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Please see my response to the previous commenter!
Aswin_Kini says:
I didn't say your prediction is wrong, I just said it is too early to write the obituaries, especially considering Apple's iPads… Unless and until they bring out an app, which will enable you to orally dictate code/sentences/paras/numbers effectively, PCs and Laptops will survive……
Just to give you one small example: Apple does not allow you to attach documents/pictures/other files in your mails via Microsoft Outlook… And as I know, many companies still use Lotus/Outlook as their primary mails…. So even if we assume that every company in the world switches to a Tablet, not necessarily iPad, we will see a lot of chaos due to the functionality glitches that occur/the compatibility issues…. An app/document in iPad may not function in other tablets and vice versa…
And unless Apple starts providing compatible apps with other platforms and reduce their prices to affordable levels (Hey no not US Dollar, I am referring to their prices worldwide), your prediction will take a lot of time to come true.
"Ifs and buts do not work in the real world" – Tablets, no matter how powerful they are, need to be finetuned to suit the daily needs of people. Once that process is done, we can happily declare Laptops and Desktops completely obsolete…..
But that, my dear friend, will take at least 5-10 years to occur…..
SearchIndia.com Responds:
1. I'm speaking of tablets replacing PCs mostly from an average consumer perspective, not from the business perspective (though even some companies like American Airlines are using it for pilots). So the question of compatibility with other platforms is not an issue.
2. With file sharing online storage available now, attachments are not a big deal even in tablets. Dropbox, for instance, has an iPad version.
Plus, there are other options for attachments:
3. Bottom line, for the average consumer the tablet is adequate for most tasks including browsing, e-mail, watching movies, TV, games etc. Tablets are obviously not suitable for a lot of businesses.
boopalanj says:
//Tablets are obviously not suitable for a lot of businesses. //
Now tablets and smartphones are coming to a lot of businesses where a PC's size matters.
If you visit pinterest's technology category, you will see a lot of gadgets being developed around iPhone and iPad, although some of them being conceptual. For ex, iPhone based photo printer, iPhone based health care monitoring gadget, mini projector, iPhone based credit card reader. Now consider this, you hold an iPhone, connect card reader gadget to it, and receive payments from our customer on the spot.
Tablets have other simple uses which I have not imagined. For ex, my father who does not know how to operate a PC, operates an iPad because of its intuitive design and easiness to use. During one of our recent tours that spanned for a week, on the move, Ipad helped a lot for booking tickets, booking hotels, watching maps and routes, finding where the next petrol pump and idli shop is, and usual stuff such as playing songs and videos thru Bluetooth in the car audio system, and web surfing. My friend's dad is using it to place orders for his business, manage his travel, and find suitable partners for his son/daughter through matrimony application 😉 it definitely has opened new doors.
Surely tablets replace a PC in most of the routine tasks in a lot of small businesses and an ordinary user.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
You write: Now consider this, you hold an iPhone, connect card reader gadget to it, and receive payments from our customer on the spot.
Card readers on iPhone have been around for at least 3 years at Apple stores in the U.S. I paid for my iPhone 4 at an Apple store 2 plus years back via the iPhone credit card reader. Any purchase made at an Apple store in the U.S. now is through an iPhone with a credit card reader. About a month back, I got AppleCare for my iMac, ditto!
Plus, the Square reader (for iPhone and Android) has made credit cards accessible to small businesses too.
My auto mechanic near Philadelphia uses the Square reader (but on an Android device)….when I do my oil change I swipe my card on his reader & sign with my finger on his phone. That's it….he gets his payment the next day!
Tablets are not suitable for all businesses but they're making inroads into the restaurant industry where they're becoming less uncommon than before. United Airlines is using the iPads for pilots – http://www.searchindia.com/2011/08/23/ipads-now-march-into-the-cockpit
While tablets will not completely kill PCs/Laptops immly, they are definitely hurting the desktop/notebook market and surveys prove that.
boopalanj says:
When I visited express avenue – a mall in chennai, I had gone to escape cinemas (owned by sathyam cinemas).
When we rushed into the restroom, we found that above each urinal sink, an Android running device was mounted to display ads in a random fashion that was controllable from a central system.
Of course they were not "touch enabled"
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Thank God, we don't have ads in loos yet at most Regal or AMC Cinemas in the U.S.
India seems to have stolen a march over Madison Ave (headquarters of American advertising in Manhattan).
Interesting idea though…nothing like seeing ads of Thai masseuses while you're holding your "Water Cannon" in your hand. 😉
Of all the Southeast Asian strumpets, I find Thai girls possessing the most class!

Brisbane Roar coach Ange Postecoglou admits second-placed Central Coast Mariners are his side's biggest danger for this season's A-League title.
At yesterday's A-League finals launch, Posteocglou was quizzed on who he thinks poses the greatest threat to his team's pursuit of taking the Premiership/Championship double and his answer was not at all surprising.
The Roar take on the Mariners at Bluetongue Stadium on Saturday in the first leg of their two-legged semi-final and Postecoglou was remaining cautious of Graham Arnold's men.
"Central Coast finished second and by a clear margin, they have to be the ones (we fear most)," said Postecoglou.
"I think apart from ourselves they're probably the most consistent side in the league. They haven't missed a beat and they're hitting form heading into the finals. We're expecting a tight contest."
In response, Arnold was also treading carefully ahead of the clash.
"We've played against Brisbane three times. We know what they're about, they know what we're about. It comes down to performance on the night. The last game (3-3 draw at Bluetongue Stadium) gave us a lot of confidence," he said.

Wisconsin offensive linemen show their appreciation for coach
Joe Koshollek
Bart Miller took over as offensive line coach after Mike Markuson was fired after Week 2.
A few days after Wisconsin set a school record for rushing yards in a 62-14 victory over Indiana, offensive line coach Bart Miller received an unexpected gift. Waiting on the desk in his UW office was a homemade T-shirt. Miller lifted the shirt up to examine it and knew he was in big trouble with the rest of the staff. »Read Full Article

Indonesia says it will probe even the president's son for graft if there is evidence
Published on Jan 11, 2014 10:37 AM
JAKARTA - Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has said it will not hesitate to investigate anyone, even the younger son of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, provided there is enough evidence, as the agency battled accusations that it was politically biased.
Agency spokesman Johan Budi told reporters on Friday night that "anyone can be a suspect if we find two pieces of evidence".
His comments signal the KPK is not likely to ease up on its efforts to unearth high-level graft, even as elections for Parliament and the presidency draw closer.
Mr Johan was speaking after Mr Anas Urbaningrum, the estranged former chairman of Dr Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, was detained over a multi-billion rupiah graft scandal.

Q&A: CCDC chairman on developing downtown San Diego
Downtown projects bring host of benefits
ANSWER: I've been hit over the head with the crystal ball so many times, I tend not to make predictions. I'm one who believes that after a significant amount of research and exploration that it made infinite sense for the city, and you have to hope and believe that sound business decisions and projects ultimately come to fruition.
QUESTION: The California Theater, which opened in 1927, has been closed since 1990. Can it be restored as a theater like the theaters on 42nd Street in New York City?
ANSWER: Enough money will do anything, but there needs to be some economic rationale for doing that and diverting redevelopment money in a constrained economic environment here. We certainly would keep the facade, but the interior is probably irreparable. I could see, for example, affordable housing, a parking garage, moving a trolley stop into the first level and creating vibrancy.
QUESTION: Why is Broadway your pet peeve?
ANSWER: Somebody made the decision (in 1913) to convert D Street to Broadway. It wasn't made out of thin air. There was a sense that it was going to be the main thoroughfare downtown. One of the things about the ultimate development of the Civic Center, which was particularly exciting to me, was opening up B Street, taking the buses off Broadway, expanding the sidewalks, potentially creating a median and having a grand thoroughfare through downtown, which would be terribly exciting. You've got it culminating in the North Embarcadero. It has incredible potential.
QUESTION: East Village and the Chargers Stadium — what's possible there?
ANSWER: If we're creative enough in the design and development of the stadium and we're open-minded at the outset as to how it can become an adjunct and synergistic to Petco, we can do a lot of things.
QUESTION: And what about the Tailgate Park parking lot?
ANSWER: My dreams are not all that concrete, though my dream there is certainly in color and not black and white, and it involves the Sports Arena and clearly it requires AEG (Facilities Inc., operator of the present arena in the Midway area) to come to the table and have a dialogue about that. My vision for that entire aspect is from Petco, clear to the edge of the MTS site, would be to create a true sports-entertainment district akin to what they've done with Staples and LA Live, what they've done in Baltimore, Miami, San Antonio, San Francisco. A live-entertainment district around sports venues has been terribly exciting, and it will help expand Gaslamp east, would be an incredible catalyst for development in East Village, and I think it would be a signature for the city. I would love to have a closer relationship with Comic-Con and create a series of things both around Petco and the redeveloped MTS site.
QUESTION: The North Embarcadero is still being planned, but the Navy Broadway Complex at the foot of Broadway seems stalled. It may never come to fruition as developer Doug Manchester and the Navy have envisioned it. What if they fail and we have to start all over again?

Before a Double Mastectomy, a Dance Party
Deborah Cohan organized a pre-surgery flash mob with her surgery team
Deborah Cohan, an OB-GYN in California and mother of two, is a champion. Minutes before undergoing a double mastectomy at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco on Tuesday, Cohan led her surgery team in what might be the first-ever operating room flash mob. The group got down to Beyonce's catchy hit "Get Me Bodied," with Cohan and her scrub-wearing back-up dancers giving Bey a run for her money.
We hear Cohan is doing well after the surgery, and hopefully she'll be back to dancing in no time. Until then, Cohan is requesting that friends and family record and send her their own Beyonce dance parties.

Anti-Smurfing Campaign Kicks Off in Kentucky
A campaign against the practice known as "smurfing" was launched Monday in Lexington. Smurfing is the practice of buying drugs over the counter and selling them to illegal drug makers for profit. In Kentucky, meth cooks are using smurfs to avoid the state's real-time, stop-sell system that prevents pseudoephedrine buyers from going over the legal limit.
Governor Steve Beshear said at a press conference Monday the new campaign will place posters and tent cards at pharmacies across the state warning buyers of the consequences of smurfing. He says,
"Law enforcement is cracking down, we've passed laws to make it a felony to smurf. And now this educational campaign that everybody is working together on, I think will be a real deterrent."
Smurfing is a felony punishable by jail time. The Consumer Healthcare Products Association tested the education messages in focus groups. Participation in the campaign is voluntary for retail pharmacies.

Newberry: Rangers have room to improve
The Texas Rangers weren't going to win the division title in April.
And although it's a lot easier to lose a division early than it is to win one, the Angels didn't eliminate themselves with a tough start.
The Rangers looked great in a 5-0 shutout thrown entirely by the bullpen Sunday but showed a lot of rough edges during the 4-6 road trip.
Slumps will happen, especially at the plate. And every team is going to have injuries, which have hit the pitching staff.
But defense and fundamentals are two things good teams can usually count on, and those were missing in action for much of the trip. In losing the series to the Angels a week ago, the Rangers failed to make the routine plays defensively and move runners along with situational hitting.
Those games looked like playoff-style baseball, and the Rangers weren't ready.
Not that they have to be just now, but in this space it looked easy to anoint this Texas team as the best in the business long before Memorial Day.
I still love the job Nolan Ryan and Jon Daniels did putting this team together. The depth of pitching is going to have to show up, and they gave the team a possible boost with the signing of ex-Astro ace Roy Oswalt, who could arrive in Arlington as soon as this weekend.
The team has been given the resources to succeed. It's on them to show the focus to show up and win more than its share of series, as they managed to do in San Francisco two of the past three days.
You have to like their chances of doing that. By many of the advanced metrics that take range into account, the Rangers consistently rank in the top three or four for defense.
But with Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus on the left side of the infield and terrific talent at second and in the outfield, there's no reason for this club to be ninth in fielding percentage, and there's no logic behind having allowed 31 unearned runs, tied for the most in the league.
The Angels, who swept Colorado this weekend and are 14-4 since May 22, are going to be tough to beat even without any charity from Texas.
If they can piece together the starting pitching, the Rangers should have a chance for a nice run as the next four opponents beginning Tuesday are Arizona, Houston, San Diego and Colorado. The Diamondbacks are at .500, while the other three opponents are far worse than that.
Three of those sets are at home, where the Ranger bats should have a chance to warm up.
They hit just .171 in six starts against right-handed pitchers before Sunday.
The Rangers may feel like they're hitting the restart button. But they're still in the driver's seat with a three-game lead. Those Angels are just closer than they appeared
to be a month ago.

Renewable fresh water resources per capita (cubic meters) v/s % of population with access to improved water source (colored by regions)
Regional variations:
In South Asia, most of the countries in South Asia have at least 80% of population with access to drinking water from an improved source but Afghanistan is an outlier – only 48% have access to it.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, Haiti is an exception. Only 63% have access as compared to over 80% of the population in other countries.
Papua New Guinea comes across as an outlier – despite having one of the highest values of renewable freshwater resources per capita, only 40% of the population has access to improved water source. (One reason could be that it is one of the most rural countries with only 18% of the population living in urban areas, according to Wikipedia)

Domestic Issues
Election-year maneuvering had always had an impact on U.S. federal legislation, but the close division in the U.S. House and Senate made 2002 notable for bills that failed to become law. Only 2 of 13 final appropriation bills were cleared by year's end, for example, and partisan gridlock became a major issue in November balloting.
Both chambers approved separate energy bills during the year, but conference negotiators failed to agree on a compromise; the Republican-controlled House insisted on oil exploration in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a measure opposed by environmentalists. A major bankruptcy reform measure, approved by both the House and the Senate in 2001, also died over a partisan argument on the treatment of bankrupt abortion protesters. Congress also failed to agree on prescription drug benefits for Medicare recipients, on denying tax benefits to companies incorporating in offshore tax havens, on reforming medical malpractice liability, and on reauthorizing a successful 1996 welfare-reform law.
Political considerations were apparent in legislation affecting corporate fraud and farm subsidies. Early in the year, amid early indications that Republicans would suffer from the 2001 Enron bankruptcy and other corporate malfeasance, Democrats pressed for punitive measures to address business accounting problems, corporate governance, and securities-law fraud. Public opinion polls showed, however, that neither political party had an advantage on the issue of corporate dishonesty; Congress easily approved a compromise bill tightening securities regulation and establishing an oversight board for the accounting industry. In renewing farm legislation, Republicans initially resisted a proposal to increase agricultural subsidies dramatically. A $248 billion, six-year bill was approved, however, after party strategists noted that most federal payments would go to states that had voted for Bush in 2000.
Two measures regulating elections also became law, but their impact was in doubt. A campaign finance reform bill was approved that banned unrestricted "soft-money" donations from corporations and labour unions to national political parties and regulated campaign advertising by outside groups. The bill was quickly challenged in federal court, however, as violative of First Amendment free-speech protections. Critics noted that the law continued to allow soft-money donations to other groups, including state political parties, and reform supporters complained that Federal Election Commission members had begun watering down the reform via regulations. Congress later approved a long-delayed reform law, inspired by year 2000 problems in Florida and elsewhere, setting national standards for voting rules and equipment. The law envisioned $3.9 billion in federal aid to states to meet the standards, but Congress failed to appropriate those funds.
After Republicans made unexpected gains in November, Democratic House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri, a moderate who had sided with the president on national security issues, resigned his leadership post. Gephardt later announced his candidacy for president in 2004. He was replaced by Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. The Senate Republican leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi, was forced to resign his post in a bizarre controversy that started at a 100th birthday party in December for Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Lott implied to the crowd that the U.S. might have been better off if Thurmond, who had run as an archsegregationist, had been elected president in 1948 instead of Harry S. Truman. Criticism of Lott's remarks started slowly but snowballed, and he resigned as presumptive Senate majority leader two weeks later.
FBI statistics indicated that the incidence of serious crime in the U.S. began inching up again in 2002 following nine years of decline. The figures showed that while violent crimes dropped during the first six months of the year, crimes against property rose significantly, and the result was an overall 1.3% increase in seven index crimes. The body of former intern Chandra Levy, victim of the most notorious crime of 2001, was found in a Washington, D.C., park in May. She had apparently been strangled, but authorities brought no charges in the case. The U.S. congressman from her Modesto, Calif., district, Gary Condit, who had admitted to a relationship with Levy, was defeated in his reelection bid in the Democratic primary.
The national capital area was again traumatized during 2002 by apparently random sniper shooting attacks that killed 10 people and wounded 3 in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., over a 20-day period. The crime spree ended on October 24 with the arrest of John Allen Muhammad, a former army infantryman, and his teenage companion, John Lee Malvo. The pair, later named suspects in other crimes in Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona, and Georgia, apparently operated out of a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice that had been modified to allow rifle shots from a hiding place in the car's trunk.

"I discovered Footwear etc. only about a month ago. I have ordered 6 pairs of shoes during their MBT sale and am so very happy with the purchases. I wear a size 12 women's shoe -- a size that is virtually impossible to find in most shoe stores and especially in MBT styles. MBT is the ONLY shoe I can wear since hip replacement surgery left me with a leg length discrepancy and lower back pain. But I cannot find them in my size. Also, I can't really affort to buy them at the regular price and Footwear etc.'s sales are a Godsend for me. That is why I have bought 6 pairs while they are on sale. MBT's last a long time and I am hoping that by stocking up, it will keep me shoed until the next sale. Also, whenever I call Footwear etc. for help, I get a REAL PERSON on the phone who never fails to be truly helpful and polite -- a rarity in today's busy world with too many customer service people whose first priority is to convince you that your problem is not theirs!"

Wind-swept, captivating Catanduanes
All around are greenery, cloud-draped mountains, a long coastline, rock formations, beach resorts, historical churches and caves
More News from Amadís Ma. Guerrero
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The tall tale is that the men of Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo were pursuing pirates operating in the Bicol Peninsula in 1573, whereupon they came to the dwelling place of a Datu and his family living in a place filled with flowers.
The flowers were called "burac," subsequently changed to "birac." And that is how the area became Virac, the capital town of Catanduanes.
Wind-swept, captivating Catanduanes, a big island province known for its frequent storms emanating from the Pacific Ocean and Puraran Beach, a byword among Filipino and foreign surfers, is easily among the most scenic provinces in Bicolandia, a region known for its natural beauty.
The province is a three-hour ride via Ro-Ro vessel from the Bicol mainland, entry point being the Port of Tabaco City, Albay.
All around are greenery, cloud-draped mountains, a long coastline, rock formations, beach resorts (check out TwinRock), two historical churches (the Virac Cathedral and the enchanting St. John the Baptizer Church in Báto, near Virac, circa 1883); and caves, including Luyang Cave in San Andres, "where natives were choked to death by Moro pirates in the 17th century."
Places to stay in Virac include Rakdell Inn, Marem Pension House, Midtown Inn and Rhaj Inn Apartelle.
The provincial Governor is Joseph C. Cua, and Vice-Governor is Jose Teves Jr.
Representing the lone district of Catanduanes is Rep. Cesar Sarmiento.
Catanduanes recently put its best foot forward with the month-long Catandungan Festival 2012, its 67th Foundation Anniversary. The slogan was "Sulong Catandungan sa Matanos ng Dalan," a takeoff on President Aquino's "daang tuwid" (Forward Catandungan on the Straight Path).
Highlights were a Kundiman Fiesta, streetdancing by schoolteachers and students capped by a "Festival of Festivals/Showdown."
To the strains of a traditional Bicolano song, the men and women teachers from the different towns of the province danced the Pantomina, a traditional marriage and courtship dance. There was graceful movement of the hands, the women demure, and the men forceful when the choreography demanded it. There were chants, elaborate bows and mock chases.
In a real wedding reception, the guests were expected to shower money on the happy, dancing couple.
The street dancing of the students was understandably more energetic- frenzied at times—and served as an appetizer for the "showdown."
With giant props, full costume regalia, drums and bugles, and icons of Mother Mary and the patron saints, the seven contingents showcased their dancing skills as well as the produce of their town (as in abaca, rice or crabs).
They performed key and lively segments from their respective town festivals.
Two contingents—from Viga, the defending champion, and Gigmoto—were nothing short of spectacular. As a judge, I gave slightly more points to the contingent from Gigmoto, if only because of the skill of their dancers and gymnasts.
The other jurors, however, gave the nod to the team from Viga.
My first-ever trip to the off-the-beaten track province of Catanduanes was arranged by the Provincial Tourism Office headed by Carmel Bonifacio-Garcia (0929-3998437). Email email@example.com. Bicol Isarog (call Robert, 0917-5939811) has daily trips from Metro Manila (Cubao and Alabang) direct to Virac. Cebu Pacific flies three times a week to Virac.

Chartrand's Treasured Cigar Box series invites you into a world of the global slave trade perspectives between Africa, Europe, the Americas, and America (USA). These multidimensional assemblage cigar boxes (three boxes) incorporate recycled and found objects, keys, money, and hand painted paper.
This series bridges the gap by connecting the major Colonial slave trade shareholders of the New World. Treasured Cigar Box (series) offers knowledge and research into the deeper meaning on how the exploitative, atrocious and brutal servitude, and harvesting of tobacco by circa 12-million African Slaves fueled the beginnings of the modern day corporations.

|8 Pound (Two 4 Pound Pieces)
|Black pepper
|To Taste
|To Taste
|Thin ginger slices
|75 Milliliter (At Room Temperature, Use As Required)
|Vegetable oil
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Sesame oil
|2 Tablespoon (Oriental)
|Seasoned rice vinegar
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs) (Sweet)
|Soy sauce
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|Dijon mustard
|2 Tablespoon
|Grated ginger
|1 Tablespoon, or minced
|Crushed red pepper flakes

Soak 4 wood chunks or several handfuls of chips in water; drain.
Prepare Soy-Ginger Baste and Dressing. Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until blended.
Rinse chickens; pat dry with paper towels.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place 5 to 6 slices of ginger in cavity of each chicken.
Tuck wings under back and tie legs together with cotton string.
Brush Soy-Ginger Baste & Dressing on each chicken.
Arrange medium-low Kingsford briquets on each side of a rectangular metal or foil drip pan.
Pour equal amounts of hot tap water and beer into the drip pan until pan is half full.
Add soaked wood (all the chunks; part of the chips) to the fire.
Oil hot grid to help prevent sticking.
Place chicken, breast side up on grid, directly above drip pan.
Smoke-cook chicken, on a covered grill, 1 1/2 to 2 hours until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 175° to 180°F or until the joints move easily and juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
If your grill has a thermometer, maintain a cooking temperature of about 300°F.
Add a few more briquets to both sides of the fire after 45 minutes to 1 hour, or as necessary, to maintain a constant temperature.
At the same time, baste with more Soy-Ginger Baste & Dressing.
Add more soaked chips every 45 minutes.

1. There's one of these signs in every subway station in New York City.
2. If you pay attention, you'll see that the conductors point at them at every stop.
3. Here's why:
TL;DR version: It's to make sure the conductor is paying attention and that the train is stopped at the right place.
4. So what happens when you do this?
5. The result is pretty great.
