Giving your business clients things they need
By Brian Hamilton, CEO, ProfitCentsWhen you go out to dinner, you are usually hungry. When you buy water, you are thirsty. When you buy a winter jacket, you want to stay warm. In these individual cases, the value exchange between buyer and seller is clear and there is a definite need and solution set. In accounting, it's less certain that we are giving clients what they need. Sometimes, we don't know what they need, which is born of the fact that we either don't ask them or they don't tell us.

CPAs can make sure nonprofit leaders are leading
Many CPAs are active in their communities. Many of those happen to volunteer their precious time to nonprofit organizations. You may be a CPA in a top position, or you may be a loyal foot soldier for a cause. Either way, evaluating the not-for-profit organization's leaders - or adopting key leadership traits - could be critical to the success of the organization in which you believe and invest so much time.The leadership capacity of a nonprofit or exempt organization is extremely important.

Mandatory partner retirement and succession planning is a hot issue
Source: INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) As firms struggle with the balance of retaining quality employees, tapping into the talent of the partner group, and ensuring that opportunities are available for younger staff to move up in the ranks, the question of partner retirement - when, how and whether it should be mandatory - becomes increasingly important. The concept of mandatory partner retirement can be a touchy subject throughout the profession.

The announcement will also give hope to Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland of hosting some Euro 2020 matches – they, too, have already expressed their interest to Uefa.
General secretary Gianni Infantino said: "Some important decisions have been taken. Uefa Euro 2020 will be staged across the continent, in various major cities. A Euro for Europe follows an initial idea by Uefa president Michel Platini.
"The response has been extremely positive from all the national associations."
Turkey had initially bid to host Euro 2020, and Infantino confirmed the country's Uefa vice-president Senes Erzik opposed the decision.
The bidding process for host cities will start in March.

U.S. prepares to support French effort in Mali; Hagel wasn't right 100 percent of the time, Panetta and crew are wheels up; Welsh cracks wise on sling, and more.
- By Gordon Lubold
Gordon Lubold is a national security reporter for Foreign Policy. He is also the author of FP's Situation Report, an e-mailed newsletter that is blasted out to more than 70,000 national security and foreign affairs subscribers each morning that includes the top nat-sec news, breaking news, tidbits, nuggets and what he likes to call "candy." Before arriving at FP, he was a senior advisor at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, where he wrote on national security and foreign policy. Prior to his arrival at USIP, he was a defense reporter for Politico, where he launched the popular Morning Defense early morning blog and tip-sheet. Prior to that, he was the Pentagon and national security correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, and before that he was the Pentagon correspondent for the Army Times chain of newspapers. He has covered conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries in South Asia, and has reported on military matters in sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and Latin America as well as at American military bases across the country. He has spoken frequently on the sometimes-contentious relationship between the military and the media as a guest on numerous panels. He also appears on radio and television, including on CNN, public radio's Diane Rehm and To the Point, and C-SPAN's Washington Journal. He lives in Alexandria with his wife and two children.
After months of international resistance to military action, France boldly pushed forward against extremist Islamists in Mali yesterday, and the U.S. may not be far behind. French fighter jets struck Islamist militants inside northern Mali on Sunday, targeting training camps and other positions in the northern region of the country, which has been under Islamic militant control. Meanwhile, the White House prepared to potentially deploy surveillance drones and other "air-intelligence assets" over Mali in coming days, the WSJ and others reported this morning. WSJ: "The limited American response to France's request for military support reflects White House concerns about being drawn into a new conflict when it is focused on extricating itself from the 11-year-old war in Afghanistan. The White House also has balked at intervening militarily in Syria. Any deployment in support of France's campaign in Mali would be the first U.S. involvement in a new military campaign since Libya in 2011."
NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor, to the WSJ: "We noted that the government of Mali has asked for support, and we share the French goal of denying bterrorists a safe haven in the region. We will stay in close touch with the French and other international partners as the situation develops." http://on.wsj.com/W1Pmox
Also, U.S. forces helped in a failed rescue attempt of a French intelligence agent. The White House announced Sunday evening that the American military had provided "limited technical support" to a French military operation in Somalia, in which commandos attempted to rescue an intelligence agent who has been held by al-Shabaab for years. President Barack Obama authorized the use of American fighters to provide indirect support of the operation, but the fighters never dropped any munitions and left Somalian air space soon after. The French military operation was described as bloody and failed to rescue
Denis Allex, a French intelligence agent using a cover name, according to the WaPo, who is believed dead. One other French soldier was killed in the operation, which took place about 75 miles northwest of the capital Mogadishu, and another is missing; 17 Islamic soldiers were also killed.
Obama, in a letter to Congress – "I directed U.S. forces to support this
rescue operation in furtherance of U.S. national security interests, and
pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive."

Ask the Air Force's Mark Welsh about why his arm is in a sling and you'll get a few wise answers. Secretary of the Air Force Mike Donley and CoS Gen. Mark Welsh appeared in the Pentagon Friday to talk sequestration, budget issues, the JSF and other issues. The two announced ways in which they were cutting costs, from freezing civilian hires to curtailing non-essential travel to canceling furniture purchases. But Welsh, who appeared in the Pentagon briefing room with his arm in a sling, was also asked about what happened. First he jokingly blamed his injury on Donley. Then he fingered Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno as the culprit. Welsh: "We were struggling for resources between the service chiefs the other day, and I think it was the first time I realized just how big Ray Odierno really is. So I'm recovering slowly."
The real answer: Welsh is recovering from surgery after an injury suffered after about "10 face plants" in Florida about a year ago while he and his wife were wakeboarding. His wife, he said, is a much better wakeboarder than he is.

Panetta left at 5 a.m. this morning for Lisbon. It's the first stop on a five-day trip that will take Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, and London. Over the course of this week, Panetta is expected to meet with 12 national leaders, including heads of state, to "engage on bilateral defense issues" as well as those pertaining to NATO. In London on Friday, he'll speak about the transatlantic alliance and the focus it should have. He's expected to link the relationship to his key priorities as secretary, including the new emphasis on Asia, cyber-security, and counter-terrorism.

Hagel supporters released a Hagel fact sheet. The E-Ring's Kevin Baron had the seven-point myth-versus-fact sheet on Friday. It has details on Hagel's stance on Iran and Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas, nukes, gay rights, and his management experience. http://atfp.co/UFQ3mo
Friends of Chuck: Thomas Pickering and Colin Powell defended Hagel's record. Hagel backers continue their campaign in support of his nomination as secretary of defense. Despite worries that a potential no-vote from people like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) could cripple his chances, Democrats tell Situation Report they believe he'll ultimately get 65 or more Senate votes and be confirmed.
Amb. Thomas Pickering told Situation Report that he was confident Hagel would be confirmed and didn't think the opposition or the political theater in recent weeks would impede Hagel's ability, once in office, to get the job done.
"It is what it is. Even the most controversial nominations that have succeeded have allowed people to operate. They have a little cloud from time to time, but I don't think it is a disadvantage. Even if his fellow Republicans vote against him, that is not going to impair his capacity to carry out the office," said Pickering, a trustee of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.
Pickering acknowledged that Hagel's opposition to the surge in Iraq, which many think was effective, is a fair topic for questioning. Pickering said Hagel's opposition to an openly gay ambassador was wrong — he has since apologized for it and his apology was accepted. "Nobody is guaranteed to be right 100 percent of the time, as Hagel showed us on the Hormel issue," Pickering said.
Much of the Sunday shows yesterday were used to either defend Hagel's record or impugn it. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked on NBC whether Hagel thinks "the military option" against Tehran was "feasible," and he responded that any military option is feasible — but that it depends on what you want to accomplish. Overall, the military is happy with President Obama's choice, if the wave of support from the retired community is any judge, he said.
Powell, to David Gregory on NBC's 'Meet the Press': "For the last three weeks, we have had dueling op-eds and dueling blogs and dueling different groups coming forward, but most of the national security community in retirement that I know and many of the secretaries of defense and state that I know, and national security advisers, and very distinguished ambassadors who served in the Middle East, think that Chuck Hagel is a solid guy who speaks his mind. He's a good supporter of Israel. He has been there and the record will show that, but he is not reluctant to disagree when he thinks disagreement is appropriate."
John McCain was non-committal. Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," McCain deferred judgment to the confirmation hearings, expected even by the end of this month. "My questions about him, and they will be raised in the [confirmation hearings], are, what his view of America's role in the world?" McCain said. "Whether he really believes that the surge was the worst blunder since the Vietnam War? That clearly — that's not correct. In fact, it's bizarre. Why would he oppose calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization?"
McCain also said this White House doesn't check with Congress to see where members are on a particular nominee. Even some Democrats have told Situation Report they are not sure why the White House isn't better at working with Senate leaders prior to a nomination. This one in particular, coming as it did weeks after Hagel's name was first seriously floated by the White House, allowed opponents to mount a well-organized campaign. McCain: "Usually with previous presidents, both Republican and Democrat, when they're considering nominations, they call in the other side and say — the key members on the other party — and say, 'Hey, I'm thinking about nominating Mr. X, what do you think about that? There's been none of that with this administration." CBS's Face the Nation: http://cbsn.ws/10sdg3n
Bob Corker raised the issue of Hagel's temperament as a manager. On ABC's "This Week," he suggested former staffers were coming out to raise questions about Hagel's temperament, though he never explained what he meant and host George Stephanopoulos seemed puzzled but didn't quiz him on it. "I think there are numbers of staffers who are coming forth now just talking about the way he has dealt with them. I have, certainly questions, about a lot of things," he said.

May 8, 2013
(BPT) - Warm weather offers many sweet delights, from trips to the beach and more free time, to seasonal foods and soirees with family and friends. Unfortunately, many of the foods we commonly associate with spring and summer are high in added sugars. Hidden sugar in summer foods can make it a challenge to regulate calories and stay on track with your health goals.
ôToo much added sugar can have a host of health consequences, such as weight gain, which can in turn increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease,ö says Lisa Drayer, a registered dietitian, author of ôThe Beauty Dietö and spokesperson for NECTRESSE Natural No Calorie Sweetener. ôLimiting the amount of added sugar in your diet makes sense on a number of levels.ö
If youĺre looking for ways to reduce your sugar intake this spring and summer, Drayer offers some tips and tricks to help you:
1. Trim liquid calories. ôRegular soda and fruit juices are among the biggest sources of sugar-fueled calories,ö Drayer says. Minimize your consumption of these calorie-packed beverages. If you must drink soda, opt for diet soda that contains no sugar. Better yet, switch to plain water or other sugar-free beverages with added health benefits, such as black tea. You can drink black tea hot or cold as a substitute for coffee.
2. Read nutrition labels on everything, not just the foods you assume will be high in sugar. For example, you may be aware that regular soda is high in sugar, but did you know that some salad dressings and barbecue sauces can be too? You may know that brightly colored cereals intended for children can have a lot of added sugar, but you may not be aware that some Ĺsupposedly healthyĺ adult cereals you eat may also have nearly as much. ôSavory foods can be sneaky sources of added sugar,ö Drayer says.
3. Make smart substitutions. ôMany people trying to minimize their sugar intake and reduce calories turn to alternative sweeteners,ö Drayer notes. ôIf you prefer natural ingredients, try an option like NECTRESSE Natural No Calorie Sweetener.ö NECTRESSE sweetener is 100 percent natural, and gets its sweetness from monk fruit extract and a blend of other natural ingredients. Monk fruit is a small green melon that has been cultivated in Asia for centuries. It is traditionally grown in small family orchards in remote mountain regions. The fruit extract that is 150 times sweeter than sugar is now packaged for us to easily sweeten our favorite foods and beverages.
4. Donĺt skip meals or snacks, and donĺt take an ôall or nothingö approach to sugar. ôCompletely cutting added sugar out of your diet probably isnĺt practical,ö Drayer says. Making yourself feel hungry and deprived can lead to unhealthy bingeing. Itĺs far better to control the amount of added sugar you consume so that it stays at a moderate level, rather than cause yourself to crave sugar and possibly overindulge.
With some smart substitutions and improved awareness of the sources of added sugar, itĺs possible to reduce your added sugar intake and lead a healthier lifestyle thatĺs still as sweet as summer.

Murder-defendant Houston brothers may represent selves
KINGSTON - Rocky Joe and Leon Houston got their wish on Thursday.
The next time they come to court, they could be alone at the defense table.
Special Judge David Hayes granted the brothers' request to fire their defense lawyers as they prepare for a second round of trials in connection with the three-year-old shootout that killed a Roane County deputy and his ride-along friend.
"I think both of you have made a tragic decision here," the judge said. "But that is your decision. I just want you to know what you're doing."
The brothers said they're ready to represent themselves if they can't find new lawyers in time.
"We've got the best counsel in the world," Leon Houston said. "We've got God on our side."
Leon Houston, 49, and his younger brother Rocky have been free on bond since March as each awaits a second trial on double-murder charges in the May 11, 2006, gun battle that killed Deputy Bill Jones, 53, and ride-along Mike Brown, 44. Two juries couldn't decide last year whether the brothers acted in cold blood or self-defense.
Jurors deadlocked in Leon Houston's trial last July. A retrial set for Aug. 10 was pushed back to Nov. 2 because of the poor health of special prosecutor Ken Irvine.
Jurors in Rocky Houston's trial in December found him not guilty on some charges but couldn't agree on others. Defense lawyer Randy Rogers said he's stood by his client for three years - through the trial and an appeal on double-jeopardy claims - but balked when he heard himself called a liar and a coward on television.
"I've tried the case," Rogers said. "I've crafted an appeal. I wish him all the luck in the world, but I feel I cannot go any further with his representation."
Leon Houston's lawyer, Jim Logan, said he gets along with his client fine, but says Rocky Houston's the problem.
"Leon Houston and I have been able to communicate well except in the presence of his brother," Logan said. "My belief is that it would be almost impossible for Leon Houston to adequately represent himself. I don't think there's going to be any joy in Roane County at all at these results."
The judge told Rocky Houston to stay home from now on, keep his mouth shut and stay off the television.
"You are under house arrest," the judge said. "But every time I'm here you're holding a press conference on TV. I've been to Roane County three times, and every time I've been here I've seen you on TV."
The brothers could trade house arrest for more jail time when they go back to court on Aug. 7. The judge will decide then whether the brothers - mainly Rocky Houston - violated their bond conditions by leaving home regularly and by refusing to pay for their electronic monitoring via GPS-linked ankle bracelets.
The company that maintains the bracelets says it will turn them off by the end of the month unless someone pays. That gives the brothers at least seven days without monitoring before their next court appearance.
The brothers say the bond they've already posted - $400,000 for Rocky Houston and $302,000 for Leon Houston - ought to be enough.

The term 'Seven Year Itch' can be traced back to the 1955 Hollywood flick starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell (remember her famous wind blown halter dress?) . The movie mentions a book that says many men have extra-marital affairs after seven years of marriage — terming it the"7-Year Itch". Ever since then, with her halter gown, the term too became a rage and is disturbingly seen in most marriages .
Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes were the latest to fall under the spell of the so-called '7-year-itch' when they filed for divorce last year.
What is behind this inexplicable phenomenon? Is it astrology, numerology or even psychology? Why do couples decide to go their separate ways after seven long years of being together? Is it something that occurs to them all of a sudden or is it the culmination or an eventual surge of all those pent-up emotions that have been lying dormant like a volcano for years? If the latter sounds more plausible, then it's more likely to be a woman's initiative.Read More »from Hollywood and the 'Seven Year Itch'

Cutting Costs Paying Off For Dell
Dell Inc., the second-place PC manufacturer, passed Wall Street expectations on its profitability, raising its fiscal 2012 outlook for operating income, citing expectations for a robust back-to-school season and strong government spending, Reuters is reporting.
"We're off to a solid start in our fiscal year 2012," said Dell chief executive Michael Dell. "Our substantial profit increase demonstrates that our strategy is working and our execution is improving."
The positive results from the Round Rock, Texas-based Dell are in contrast to its rival Hewlett-Packard, which reported strong profits in the recent fiscal quarter but saw its stock sink with word that the US computer colossus was bracing for tough times later in the year, AFP reports.
HP reported that it made $2.3 billion in profit on $31.6 billion in revenue during the fiscal quarter that ended April 30 in a showing that bested the same period a year earlier by five percent and three percent respectively.
Dell's consumer segment makes up about 20 percent of its revenue and so is much smaller than the portion of its revenue that comes from sales to businesses, which dropped 7 percent to $3.0 billion.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden attributed some of falling consumer demand to the consumer PC market being saturated in developed countries. He added that while tablet computers are still a small portion of the PC market, there's "clearly an impact" from them on the demand for desktop PCs, AP reports.
Actively seeking to diversify into higher-profit markets, Dell has been seeking to increase the proportion of server computers, data storage devices and technology consulting services. Those areas are more profitable than the company's basic PC business.
Compared with a year ago, however, most of Dell's product categories accounted for about the same percentage of revenue, and computers for consumers and businesses continued to make up more than half of Dell's revenue.
Still, Dell's gross margin, an indicator of how efficient Dell's business is, came in at 22.9 percent, higher than the 20.4 percent that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting. Dell's strategy of focusing on more profitable areas of its business and pruning lower-margin offerings "is working well," Gladden said.
For the full fiscal year, Dell continues to expect revenue to grow 5 percent to 9 percent, implying a total of $64.6 billion to $67.0 billion. Analysts expect annual revenue of $64.4 billion. Dell shares rose 86 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $16.76 in extended trading. The stock finished regular trading down 10 cents at $15.90.

NEWBERRY — Although Shevonna Jenkins has always lived in Newberry, she has never learned more about the town than working as the newest member of the Newberry Chamber of Commerce.
Born and raised in Newberry, Jenkins is a graduate of Newberry High School, and a December 2013 graduate of Lander University, where she studied mass communications.
While at Lander, Jenkins was the historian for the Mass Communications Association on campus. The program was started from scratch, as it had not been thriving since 2009. Jenkins said the group would have weekly meetings, and as historian, her job was to let people know just what the term Mass Communications meant.
She was also involved in the gospel choir on campus for all four years of school.
Living at home now in Newberry with parents Gwen and Julious Jenkins, she attends her home church, Hopewell Baptist, where she also sings as a member of the choir. She's an only child, but said she always wished for a brother.
Jenkins began working as an intern for the Newberry Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 10 and said she has never learned so much about her town.
A client of the vocational rehabilitation center, Jenkins said the center helped her to find the position after she graduated from Lander. Jenkins said they also helped her with her financial aid for school.
Currently Jenkins works on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at their office downtown. Jenkins said so far she's worked with invoices, and made phone calls to new and old members to update them on the Chamber's most recent annual meeting.
Ted Smith with the Chamber said Jenkins is a hard worker and has jumped right in to the tasks and projects they have given her to work on. One of these includes postcards of historic places of Newberry.
Smith said they've had a lot of interest from local residents and visitors looking for postcards that feature Newberry to either mail or keep as souvenirs.
Jenkins said she took pictures of places such as the oldest homes in the city of Newberry and in Newberry County. The photos were then sent to Ted Williams for editing, and will soon be put on postcards that will be available at the Chamber.
Reminiscing on the only time she came to the Chamber as a little girl, Jenkins said she's learned a lot having only worked there for a month.
"I really like it here," Jenkins said. "It seems like it's in the right field for me."
Jenkins said she loves being from a small town where everybody knows everyone. While she's not working at the Chamber, Jenkins is working on going back for her master's degree in business at Piedmont Technical College. She hopes to transfer to North Carolina in the future.
Her next goal, Jenkins said would be to move to Greensboro, N.C., to pursue a career in television or marketing. Although Jenkins said she's shy, she feels she is slowly coming out of her shell. Working with the Chamber has gotten her out into working with the community.

Re: Just beginning to shop around... would love feedback/ideas...
Yeah, I get the hardware issue. I ended up picking up a shuttle, and cannibalizing my other puter. It's set up with an i3, 16G ram, 500G internal hard drive for the OS, dvd drive, and external hard drives for data. The primary downside about this particular setup is that it only has two expansion slots and a 350W power supply. This limits what I can do with it (
i.e., adding a high end gfx card which would take up the two slots and requires a larger power supply, for example
). I'm presently hanging my 21" monitor from a pole that runs from the companionway to the bulkhead, similar to the way I have my laptop table setup. I would prefer a setup like this.
Some of my dock mates use a monitor mounting arm attached to the bulkhead. That allows them to fold the thing out of the way when they're not using it. As for the keyboard/mouse, I'm running a usb cable to a usb hub, as opposed to using a wireless kb/mouse.
If I were cruising, or doing a day sail, for that matter. All of this stuff would get packed away. In the event I needed to do any coding, I would rely upon my laptop, with a usb temporary storage, and backup it up every now and then to my web server, or one of the cloud services I use. Assuming, that is I had inet connectivity.
That said, there really are different considerations here. For example, I'm sitting in a slip with shore power and cable. And as such, I enjoy the "
" of having a full blown network setup, and am even considering picking up another shuttle to setup as a nas. If however, I were cruising, I would do things differently due to not only power constraints and connectivity (
or lack thereof
) but also space considerations.
Btw, and aside, you might find some useful ideas from
this guy's site
. He's using pillow blocks to mount his monitor to the pole in the above pic. I wrote him and asked! lol

The Microstructure of the TIPS Market
|December 2009Number 414
|JEL classification: G14
Authors: Michael J. Fleming and Neel Krishnan
We characterize the microstructure of the market for Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) using novel tick data from the interdealer market. We find a marked difference in trading activity between on-the-run and off-the-run securities, as in the nominal Treasury securities market. We find little difference in bid-ask spreads or quoted depth between on-the-run and off-the-run securities, in contrast to the nominal market, but we do find a sharp difference in the incidence of posted quotes. Intraday activity differs strikingly from the nominal market, with activity peaking in the mid-to-late morning. Announcement effects also differ from the nominal market, with auction results and consumer price index announcements eliciting particularly sharp increases in trading activity.

The wild card in Venezuela: Armed Chavistas
Friday - 3/8/2013, 4:34am EST
Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- The banner just inside the poor neighborhood in western Caracas reads, "Loyal to Comandante Chavez." The guard at the gate ensures no one enters without permission -- not even the police.
The "23 of January" redoubt is home to a small army of pistol-toting young men who see themselves as guardians of President Hugo Chavez's "socialist revolution." These die-hard Chavistas say there is no way they will let Venezuela's "oligarchy" and its alleged Washington patrons return to power.
Beating back the opposition "would cost us blood, sweat and tears, but they won't be back," said Carlos Torres, the guard at the gate.
If Chavez's populist state is indeed threatened by domestic and foreign foes as claimed, this is the defense. On alert and, in many cases on edge, are hundreds of well-armed toughs who belong to such shadowy "collectives" as La Piedrita, which have been blamed for strong-armed intimidation of political opponents and worse.
For such Chavez supporters, Monday's call by Communication Minister Ernesto Villegas to be "on a war footing" was clearly heard.
They are the most visible face of an unknown number of armed cadres loyal to the government, groups unrelated to the 125,000-member national militia that is affiliated with the armed forces. As Venezuela ponders the next steps after Chavez's death Tuesday, the late leader's most uncompromising and radical supporters make up a menacing unknown in a country brimming with guns and afflicted by the world's second-highest murder rate.
What's especially dangerous is that Venezuela's law enforcement authorities generally leave them alone, human rights and opposition activists say.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro, named by Chavez to be his socialist party's presidential candidate in elections should he die, has been claiming for weeks that opposition leader Henrique Capriles has been "conspiring" against Venezuelan democracy.
Over the weekend, and then just hours before he announced Chavez's death, Maduro claimed Capriles was plotting with far-right U.S. putschists and "fugitive bankers" against the government.
Chavez himself long used just such tactics and rhetoric. Opponents said he stoked xenophobia while letting his lieutenants turn their partisans into armed civilian shock troops.
Maduro also expelled two U.S. military attaches for allegedly trying to recruit Venezuelan officers for "destabilizing projects," proof enough for Torres that Washington, the chief importer of Venezuelan crude oil, is trying to sabotage the revolution.
"The CIA is trained in this sort of thing. It has contributed to the toppling of governments and spilled blood in Central America and South America," he said.
"But they will be up against the people here. Just let them try to meddle and there won't be another drop of oil for the United States."
La Piedrita and a group known as the Tupamaros were around long before Chavez first took office in 1999. They form part of an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 "colectivistas" who live within eight miles (12 kilometers) of the Miraflores presidential palace, said Rocio San Miguel of the non-governmental watchdog group Control Ciudadano.
Under Chavez, both bands grew while other motorcycle-circulating toughs arose, all loyal to the charismatic former paratrooper.
While such groups perform community service projects, painting buildings, repairing elevators and cleaning streets, some have been videotaped flashing weapons in public. Gang members have also been recorded committing crimes, only to disappear into their protected territories, stymieing police pursuit.
"There is something of a tacit agreement that the police don't enter," said Luis Izquiel, a criminal lawyer who coordinates the security commission of the MUD opposition coalition.
There is no proof such groups receive arms and training from the government, though some critics accuse officials of funneling weapons to them.
The country is swimming in what the government has estimated are about 6 million firearms, some 90 percent of them illegal. It is unclear how much of Venezuela's violent crime is politically motivated, how much financially.
"What is certain is that the collectives have for years had military-grade weapons and have committed some crimes with complete impunity and it appears this has happened under the complicit view of government authorities," Izquiel said.
Pro-Chavista collectives vary in their zealousness.
Jesus Bermudez rode in a pickup truck with four black-bereted militants of the Tupamaros collective Wednesday amid the outpouring of grief that filled Chavez's funeral procession through central Caracas.
"We have an enemy who will never rest. Nor will the revolutionaries rest," he said.
Bermudez didn't discount using violence to defend Chavismo, saying that "the revolution can't just be about speech," but the 37-year-old added that if Capriles were to win a snap election expected to be called shortly, his group would respect the result.
