Teen guilty of manslaughter in NY immigrant death
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. A former high school athlete who plunged a knife into the chest of an Ecuadorean immigrant during a street fight that cast a national spotlight on bias crimes against Hispanics was convicted of manslaughter as a hate crime Monday but acquitted of murder.
Jeffrey Conroy, 19, was one of seven teenagers implicated in the November 2008 stabbing death of Marcelo Lucero in what prosecutors say was the culmination of an ongoing campaign of violence targeting Hispanics. The teens alluded to "beaner-hopping" or "Mexican hopping."
Conroy shook his head slightly when the verdict was announced in the packed courtroom. His brother and sister left the courthouse in tears.
"The hunting season is over, at least for now," brother Joselo Lucero said later.
Four other defendants have pleaded guilty to hate crime-related charges. Two others are awaiting trial.
Conroy was the only one of the seven charged with murder and manslaughter; prosecutors said he was the one who inflicted the fatal wound in a midnight fight near the Patchogue train station. He faces eight to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced on May 26.
District Attorney Thomas Spota called the verdict fair, but defense attorney William Keahon said he would appeal.
"Unfortunately, in our system of justice, sometimes young men and women are convicted of crimes they did not commit," Keahon said.
Pablo Colle, of Ecuador's National Department of Migration, said Ecuadorean officials weren't satisfied with the verdict. "We did expect to have a charge for murder," he said.
The killing sent shock waves far beyond Long Island's Suffolk County, where animosity over the influx of thousands of immigrants from Central and South America has been on the rise for nearly a decade.
Latino Justice-PRLDEF repeatedly lobbied for a federal investigation of hate crimes on Long Island following the killing. The U.S. Department of Justice announced last fall it would investigate hate crimes and the police response to them.
Conroy, a three-sport athlete at Patchogue-Medford High School, told police he was responsible for the stabbing but took the witness stand to say he had taken the blame for one of his co-defendants - a teenager he had just met earlier that night.
Lucero, 37, was walking with a friend when they were confronted by the teenagers. Prosecutors say the teens were walking around town looking for targets, began yelling ethnic slurs and approached the two men. One of the teens punched Lucero in the face. Lucero and his friend swung their belts in self-defense and began to chase the teens.
Prosecutors said Lucero hit Conroy in the head with the belt and that the teen lost his temper, opened the folding knife and lunged at Lucero's chest.
Conroy, who has been held without bail since his arrest the night of the killing, testified that co-defendant Christopher Overton told him he had stabbed Lucero. He said Overton had told him earlier in the night that he had a burglary conviction in a case where the homeowner was killed and could not afford further trouble with the police.

I can't begin to tell you how much our family enjoyed
our recent stay at your beautiful Casa Capitan. The space your have created there is really Special and turned out to be perfect for our group. Between the house and gardens and the
wonderful resting palapa ( I took naps in all three) I don't think I have ever been as rested
on a vacation. Your staff was wonderful and never intrusive to our privacy yet they keep the
property spotless. Jaymie was most helpful in answering questions and making last minute
arrangements for us. We liked it so much everyone wants to return next August.
We are also interested in the Java house for another daughter and her family. We would also look into flying direct rather that stay in San Jose overnight. That would give us more time at the house also.
I know everyone in my family who was at the property wants to return and we are already excited to come back as we all gathered Sunday and were looking at our pictures of your beautiful house and all the wonderful art and gardens you have placed there. It really is quite special as I am sure you are aware. Do you get to stay there often yourself? Also thanks for the referral for the pilot who has contacted me. I will get back to him. It makes total sense for us to fly over next trip to save time.. Again I am sorry it took so long to get back to you but I had an acute case of so much relaxation from Costa Rica it was hard getting back to my regular life again. Casa Capitan is the kind of addiction we all need from time to time in our way too busy lives! Thank you again for providing such a beautiful place to vacation in.
My husband and I held our wedding at Casa Capitan in January and we cannot sing enough praises for Carlota and the Capitan estate. It was the most incredible and "smooth" experience and a perfect set up for a wedding! Casa Capitan is a one of a kind paradise with an incredibly peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. I just can't compliment Carlota enough on what an amazing job she has done to create such a beautiful and unique space (even the beautiful photos don't do it justice!). The grounds and the beach in front are stunning, the staff is so friendly and efficient, and Carlota and Jaymie were incredibly helpful with recommendations, etc. Carlota even recommended my wedding planner, Courtney, who was absolutely brilliant. Both of our families stayed at Casa Capitan and Casa Java for a week surrounding the wedding and everyone has voted this their favorite vacation of all time(-; Thank you Carlota and the Capitan estate staff who made our vacation and wedding so perfect! We hope to be back soon!
Hi Carlota,
We had such a wonderful time there. Your house is beautiful!! It was the perfect place for our family to be able to just relax together. Jaymie helped us so much. We couldn't have done it
without her. She really helped set everything up. To the charter flights, excursions, quads, taxi's and she made it all so easy for us. She was wonderful! We took surf lessons, zip lined and did yoga. I have to say using Carmon Air for our charter flights from San Jose made the trip so much easier. They were there waiting at the airport to pick us up and take us all to their airstrip. There was no wait time and they really took care of us. Definitely the way to go! We enjoyed having Davin and Pablo with Canape Catering cook for us. Can't say enough about his delicious food!! It felt like we were at a 5 star resort eating 5 star food. He plated the food beautifully at every meal and served us at the large dining table that held all 16 of us! Having your girls cook us breakfast and Davin for lunch and dinner was a dream. We all can't stop talking about our trip. It was so amazing! We all hope to make it back again. Thanks so much for making it special for us.
"True Pura Vida: The Magnificent Casa Capitan"
It is quintessentially eco-chic with unparalleled beauty and remarkable attention to detail. Its ability to accomodate 14 people (seemingly effortlessly), including one in a wheelchair, meant there was something for everyone. We surfed, jumped waves, went for long walks on the nearly deserted beach, swam in the beautiful private swimming pool, took a yoga lesson at the private yoga pavilion in front of the ocean (also perfect for a massage), found quiet reading spots in the comfy cabanas, sipped amazing coffee in the many coffee shops, dined in topnotch openair restaurants, danced to live music at a local bar, and each night watched the sun set into the Pacific Ocean. - Ahh, Exhale :) -- We travelled from San Jose by private bus via ferry and endured the bumpy patch to get to Santa Teresa, but it was well worth it! Santa Teresa is distinctly quaint - like an old beach town from a 1970's Hollywood movie, filled with surfers & yoga enthusiasts - yet surprisingly well-suited to anyone in search of a slower pace. I can hardly believe that such a place still exists. One note of caution, however - This is a cash-only town. Every restaurant, tour operator, quad rental or clothing store is generally cash-only. The odd place that isn't, charges a premium. - The atms/Bank also charge a big premium and are not always well-stocked. Gratefully, everyone in town knows the Casa Capitan. At least twice, they let us return the next day for payment. Now, that's a vestige in today's world! One other note, while the property is not entirely wheelchair accessible, it is definitely manageable - thanks to the ingenuity of the management & staff. Mucho Gracias to all who help to make Casa Capitan Pura Vida including Soffi, Ismail, Augustina, Julie and especially the ridiculously talented and gracious, Carlota!
What a spot of paradise. My daughter had her dream destination wedding at Casa Capitan
and we were thrilled her choice. The amenities of the home, with its wonderful pool, isolated
beach and open floor plan were perfect for a relaxing vacation. I would highly recommend this
home. All the photos and description depict the place well.... and being there is even better! The concierges Rachel and Sofia were very helpful and responsive. And the staff was onboard daily keeping up with housekeeping. Rooms were very comfortable and the two suites were magnificent.
We had a coordinator transform the site for the wedding itself and you cannot imagine how magical it was. We had the ceremony on the beach at sunset and cocktails setup there afterwards. The house was lit up and there was a trail of lights walking back. The venue was magical.
I would highly recommend this place if you are interested in a destination Costa Rica wedding.
It is a remote place to travel to, but worth the trip!
I went to Casa Capitan in January of 2012 with seven other women and we loved it ! The worst part was leaving. What a place ,perfection. We had more than enough room ,even had a couple rooms to spare . Each room was tastefully decorated with the owner Carlotta generously sharing her love of Indonesian furniture and art. The out door bathrooms had all the comforts of home but gave you the feeling of bathing in a tropical setting, feeling natural and clean ! Some roms had indoor bathrooms for those who prefer . The house itself is open , airy and comfortable, just a wonderful beachy ,tropical feeling. There are secluded places to relax, all of them ideally situated . I took a luxurious nap on one of the outdoor beds closest to the beach . Sleeping to the sounds of the ocean with sea breezes keeping me cool. The infinity pool overlooking the beach is a touch of pure luxury . Every detail has been well thought out ,from the most comfy lounge chairs to the excellent bed linens. The house staff are efficient and not in the least bit intrusive. Our cooked breakfasts in the morning were delicious . I have stayed at top notch hotels in my life and rented other luxury homes..but Casa Capitan tops them all. There are surf board to use and beach mats ,games to play and a pool table. The kitchen is stocked with every thing you possibly need to cook or make drinks . We hired Joy from Canape Catering to make our meals and she was fanatastic. If I had it to do over , I would never leave the house and just stay there reading ,relaxing and enjoying the beach. We took surf lessons (great fun ) went ATV riding and horse back riding. We even had smores and a bonfire on the beach one night. I have not felt that relaxed and content in a long time and I only wish I could have stayed two weeks instead of one. Our charter flight from San Jose to Tambour was quick &fun ,much better than driving as the roads are dusty and unpaved mostly. Carlotta has an incredible sense of style and her home exudes tranquiity . I am so greatful she has chosen to share it. Do not leave without getting a massage at the house ,the massuses are better than any I have ever had. Being massaged in one of the out door huts/cabana's is a real treat. Casa Capitan is everything and more that this site describes . Carlotta and her staff a pleasure to deal with . I highly recommend this property and hope I have a chance to return one day . Thanks Carlotta ,we girls had the time of our lives.
Let me start by saying that we spent WAY too much time researching vacation rentals in Costa Rica for a large family trip (18 people). I was a little overwhelmed by the number of locations and options. So why did I chose Casa Capitan:
1. The size - most other homes were in the 2,000 SF - 3,000 SF range; CC is 6,500+ SF (it made a huge difference)
2. The location - ocean front is a must
3. The amenities - while most homes had pools, very few had such a large common area, kitchen, yoga rancho, and bathrooms attached to every room
The journey to Santa Teresa seemed cumbersome (overnight flight to San Jose, short flight to Tambor, 45 min car ride). However, Carlota's concierge (Rachel) was incredibly kind and responsive and arranged a ride from Tambor to the house (don't bother renting a car; if you need to get around, simply rent an ATV for the week in town). The town itself is unreal. If you're into yoga, surfing and/or eating really good food, this place is paradise. The locals are mostly ex-pats. They're laid back, pleasant, and most speak great English.
When we arrived, it was like our own private oasis. The house is convenient to town and a grocery store, but still feels secluded. If you don't feel secluded enough, a security guard (with dogs) monitors the property 24x7.
We had the opportunity to see a few of the other homes we looked at, and were very happy with our decision. No other home in Santa Teresa can compare with the size of Casa Capitan. Several times during the trip, people from the beach walked up to the pool thinking the house was a resort.
Many thanks again Carlota. You made our vacation memorable. We will definitely be back!
We are situated on the Pacific Coastline of the Nicoya Peninsula, where the climate is perfect and highest longevity. The temperature is even all year around, not too hot and not too cold. We have stunning beautiful beaches with pristine white sand, consistent wonderful surf, great International Restaurants, nature reserves,wildlife, snorkeling, fishing, golf, canopy tours, butterfly farms, etc.

Ever since Vidya Balan was trashed for her choices on the Cannes red carpet last year, -- styled by her favourite designer -- Sabyasachi Mukhejee -- she has not been spotted wearing his creations. Earlier she would almost exclusively wear his designs. These days she is experimenting with new designers.
When asked why she has not wearing a Sabyasachi after the Cannes, the actress refuses to say she feels let down by the designer. She opts for a diplomatic answer, "No real reason. I have worn Sabya a lot in the past. I used to only wear Sabya..90-95% of the time. But I think its tricky for both him and me if I stick to one designer. I feel that both of us came in for lot of flak. He is fabulous at what he does. I have started to discover some lovely designers."

Shadow of the Colossus
Any news on a patch?
It helped once I realized the pink circle is the stamina gauge, but it's still crazy how badly he walks and holds on.
his comparison suggests we're closet african americans.
PSN BlahblahUnicornx 3rd General UMvC3 Heroes
Dear God, I've been waiting for Wander's bs stumbling to be patched since the game came out. The breaking point for me was being on the final colossus.
While climbing up normally, there is a point at which you have to be on the colossus's hand and climb up his arm, right? (Did I just describe half the game? :P) The colossus will look at his hand and rotate it around as he looks at it, right? I was PERMANENTLY disabled. I couldn't move a single goddamn inch while he was turning his hand backwards and forwards because Wander kept stumbling and stumbling without having even a tenth of a second to possibly shift around. After stumbling for however long (45seconds to a minute), my stamina gauge depleted and I fell to his feet. I was so angry that I shut the game off and never played the ps3 version again.
A damn shame, too, because it looks so nice. I've replayed the game a few times since, but only on the ps2. I wish this received more publicity, say from reviewers or something. I guess if your job is to professionally play a lot of games and write reviews on them, you don't have time to notice the nuances. The stumbling isn't game-breaking, but it definitely takes the experience and changes it from enjoyable to frustrating.
Yeah I made it to the third Colossus and I went to bed cause the stumbling and I haven't played it since..
his comparison suggests we're closet african americans.
PSN BlahblahUnicornx 3rd General UMvC3 Heroes
No doubt about it, that stumbling is A MASSIVE PAIN IN THE @$$!!!
Time attack challenges are damn near impossible because of it. Had the same problem in ICO. In game a foot from a ledge and Ico would do the "off balance dance."
I personally believe these games should be finished by team Ueda, then have another group of sony programmers go in and clean up the archaic controls. Maybe spruce up the visuals even more as well.

The Disengagers
Kerry, Hagel, and the end of American military adventurism?
- By David RothkopfDavid Rothkopf is CEO and Editor of the FP Group. His latest book, National Insecurity: American Leadership in an Age of Fear was published in October.
This Wednesday marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Richard Nixon. Conventional wisdom says Nixon was brought down by Watergate. The reality was that he was undone as much by the divisiveness of the Vietnam years as by any of the marked and material flaws in his character. Distrust of the Washington establishment and of the ugly, costly war into which it had mismanaged America created a polarized, volatile atmosphere. Nixon gave his enemies the sword they needed to undo him and produce the kind of wrenching change the era seemed to demand.
John Kerry and Chuck Hagel are two products of that era. By extension so, too, is their new patron and soon-to-be boss: Barack Obama (even though Nixon's resignation took place just five days after Obama's 13th birthday). Obama's choices for secretary of state and defense, respectively, Kerry and Hagel are both veterans of the Vietnam war, and although one became a liberal Democrat and the other a conservative Republican, both were defined by their Vietnam experience. Both developed a willingness to challenge conventional military wisdom and a desire to avoid more Vietnams in the future. For Hagel, this ultimately meant breaking with his own party when he saw America's involvement in Iraq heading in a dangerous direction.
For Obama, whose political bar mitzvah, or coming of age if you will, took place in the America of Vietnam, his career has been largely shaped by the liberal traditions that arose in response to and in the wake of that war. Certainly, that seemed clear during the 2008 campaign, when Obama took the more dovish stance in the primaries versus then-Senator Hillary Clinton. But it has seemed less evident during his presidency, when not only did Obama bring Clinton and Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates into his cabinet, but he also undertook a number of initiatives that suggested a deviation from that liberal tradition, from redoubling America's commitment to Afghanistan to military intervention in Libya to a major escalation in America's use of drone warfare, cyber warfare and special operations to project power worldwide.
The big question surrounding Obama and his second-term national security cabinet is whether the new team will reveal which of the seemingly contradictory impulses displayed by the president in his first term will ultimately be seen as his legacy. Are there clues in these choices that suggest an answer?
Picking liberal Kerry and conservative Hagel, who had a lifetime Senate rating of 85 from the American Conservative Union, might suggest that Obama is at his heart as balanced as his first-term policies seemed to be. Picking two military veterans plus close counterterrorism advisor and 25-year CIA professional John Brennan, architect of the administration's drone wars, suggests that perhaps the seemingly liberal president is actually a bit of a closet hawk. Perhaps the president who drew GOP contempt for what was seen as his capitulating, cozying-up-to-enemies approach of "engagement" in 2008, is at heart an American exceptionalist tough guy to warm a neocon heart (if neocons had hearts).
But the reality is that for all the differences among the members of this national security team — East Coast liberal Kerry, heartland Republican Hagel, career CIA Brennan, tough, shoot-from-the-lip Susan Rice, strategy-sensitive, process master Donilon — there is one thing that links them all. It is not engagement. It is disengagement.
Even though Hagel voted for in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, his defining stands on international security issues have come when he has-true to his Vietnam-era roots-resisted American intervention and sought to pull the country out of what he saw as costly, unwinnable engagements. Indeed, in terms of Iran policy, one of the things that has critics up in arms about the Pentagon appointment is Hagel's public resistance to an American military confrontation with that country over its nuclear program. Hagel, Kerry, and other members of the Obama team have all been actively working for the past few years to reduce America's military involvement in the Middle East to its bare minimum. Even Brennan's appointment as CIA director should be seen in that context; inside the administration the drone warfare that Brennan has advocated is viewed as part of a "light footprint" strategy in the region that allows America to reach out and touch its enemies with the smallest possible commitment of resources and the least risk.
There is plenty about such approaches to like, particularly when they are viewed in light of the huge costs associated with our catastrophic interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. And as the United States struggles with domestic economic challenges and looks to benefit from new resource discoveries at home that can lead to greater energy independence, disengagement from the Middle East now seems as much a historical imperative as it is a policy choice.
Indeed, disengagement is only a problem if it does not come simultaneously with new forms of engagement. The void created by withdrawing American hard power from the Middle East and other global trouble spots will collapse on us and cause great unrest if it is not filled with something else. Here, the president's 2008 focus on engaging enemies and his administration's increased reliance on restoring old alliances damaged during the Bush years and identifying new ones, especially with emerging powers from Turkey to India to Southeast Asia, is an encouraging sign. Kerry's own impulses toward diplomacy of a more traditional kind suggest that Obama's second-term national security team may indeed cement this kind of legacy for him, allowing him to be remembered as a president who made America strong again through cultivating friendships rather than flexing our muscles.
That said, this does represent a shift that will be materially different for allies like Israel that have depended on the threat of the use of force from the United States as one of their own foreign policy's primary tools. Choosing a guy like Hagel, who has sought with too little grace but with reasonable attention to America's real national interest to shrug off the influence of the Israel lobby, should not necessarily be seen as the reason Israel should be concerned. It is not up against one man with rogue views. The president will set his own policies. Hagel will work for him. But Israel is up against history and it ought to be focused on finding a way to ensure its security in the roiling environment of its tumultuous region based on an expectation that the America of tomorrow will not act precisely as the America of yesterday did.
Nixon broke the law. He was a paranoid, deeply flawed leader. He also certainly oversaw some of the most significant foreign policy successes of any president over the past 50 years. Not only did he ultimately get America out of Vietnam, he empowered his foreign policy team to reach out and cultivate new relationships with the era's other great powers, notably Russia and China. The challenges were different. But he was a man who offset military disengagement with active diplomatic engagement. It would be an interesting irony if Obama, Kerry, and Hagel ultimately ended up emulating this underappreciated aspect of the late, not-so-lamented president's legacy.

Minutes before that, storm spotters reported a brief touchdown of what might described as a "rope" tornado lasting a minute or less. It was spotted along F.M. 1585 in the eastern portion of Hockley County.
Just minutes before the tornado, a gustnado was reported on the ground in Hockley County for 12 minutes. A hog barn was destroyed according to weather spotters. A gustnado is not the same as a tornado but it can cause property damage.

Going to marathon Puchim@s while waiting for the new Railgun to download. Speaking of Idolm@ster, someone uploaded the English translated iPhone game on nyaa. Since I gave the show a 10/10, I feel it's my duty to watch and play everything related to the franchise. As soon as I figure out how to play pirated games on my Xbox, I'll have to download the main games too
If you consider late 90s to be old watch Cowboy Bebop if you haven't already. And if you watch Cowboy Bebop, watch it dubbed.
If you want to go older, watch Otaku no Video
EDIT: Oh, so that's what you're looking for. In that case, you should watch Mawaru Penguindrum. It's like a cross between Bakemonogatari and Evangelion. Only the convoluted plot structure is much better handled than Eva and actually has an ending. Plus it's a bit more serious than Bakemongatari

Honestly, YamiBou is probably a bad series, but I still kind of enjoy it. Not for the same reasons as when I watched it ca. 2007-8, but mostly because it does not know the meaning of staying on the rails. I probably would like it a lot more if it didn't lean on fanservice so much, but, I guess, what can you do -- that's not gonna appeal to everyone.
Also, Lilith is pretty annoying, and I love Hazuki's inability to take **** from her.
Also, these fansubs are... well, they remind me how much better fansubs have gotten over the years.

In the end, if you call yourself a fan of Japanese animation, by all means check Gurren Lagann out. Looking for something fresh? Pass up on it.
After putting it off for a while, I finally finished rewatching Gundam 00 tonight. The show fills me with so much regret though.

PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Giant home centers such as Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) have already opened their hangar-sized doors to accommodate the flood of spring business, but some of the best home and garden solutions available can't be found in their warehouse aisles.
As Americans start dusting off their garden equipment, ripping out weeds, emptying pots of long-dead plants and generally tidying up a bit, the home and garden industry is expecting a continued recovery from a recession that saw most homeowners make do with what they had and most renters put off buying for a bit. As new and existing home sales rebound, spring home and garden sales have followed.
According to the Census Bureau, home and garden retailers took in $86.3 billion from March through May 2006, but saw their take fall as low as $67.7 billion at the height of the recession in 2009. While the $73.9 billion worth of shovels, rakes, soil and saplings bought last spring aren't a complete recovery, they're at least a bit sunnier than the slump the industry experienced for the past five years or so.
Then again, the American consumer's become a lot more frugal over the past couple of years and isn't going to buy a riding mower just to keep up appearances around the McMansion. In fact, buyers have no problem laying off the big-ticket power products altogether if there's a less expensive but similarly effective solution.We took a look around the neighborhood and over the neighbors' fences and found some natural, alternative solutions to some of spring's peskier, more expensive problems: Goat rental Whether you have just enough front or back yard to get overgrown and unwieldy or find yourself overrun with nasty, prickly, invasive plants that just won't go away, nature has already devised the ultimate solution to your problem. A good goat not only turns your kitchen scraps into easily degraded compost, but will go after kudzu, blackberry vines and other invasive species that can otherwise ravage a yard or field. Google (GOOG) has used them to keep the grass down at its Mountain View, Calif., campus and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service and the city of Seattle have all used goats to manage their property and keep grass, weeds and other plants at bay.
Goats are relatively inexpensive and require only what they eat as fuel. Companies such as Eco-Goats and Rent A Goat will lend you their goats for as much time as you need and can provide as many as 30 at a time on their own or through farm subcontractors. How many do you need? It depends on the size of the plot, but the folks at Gizmodo and Movoto have come up with an app for that. Just feed your property's measurements to their calculator and you'll get a pretty good idea of how many goats, cows, pigs or guinea pigs it'll take to tame your land in a day. It'll also give you an estimate of how many chickens will be required for the same job, which brings us to ...

New Yemen airstrike targets wanted al-Qaida figure
SAN'A, Yemen Yemeni airstrikes on Wednesday targeted one of the country's most wanted al-Qaida figures for the second time in a week, security officials said.
The target was Ayed al-Shabwani, who officials accuse of providing sanctuary for top al-Qaida figures in the country. Yemeni forces bombed a farm in a remote area east of the capital San'a - where a number of al-Qaida leaders are believed to be living. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was hurt.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to talk to the media.
Al-Qaida in Yemen has become a pressing concern for U.S. security after the Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound jetliner on Christmas, told FBI investigators the group provided him with explosives and training.
In the wake of the failed plot, Yemen intensified an offensive against al-Qaida with the help of U.S. counterterrorism aid and training.
Yemen, an impoverished country with a weak government whose authority does not extend far outside the capital, is Osama bin Laden's ancestral homeland. The offshoot Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was formed a year ago when Yemen and Saudi militant groups merged.
Hundreds of militants are believed to be roaming lawless regions of the mountainous nation, sometimes under the protection of powerful local tribes that have their own grievances with the government.
Al-Shabwani hails from the al-Shabwani tribe and is believed to have his tribe's protection. He is on the government's list of most-wanted al-Qaida figures and has been implicated in several fatal attacks on security troops and police officers.
The airstrike hit Wadi Adeeda, 115 miles (185 kilometers) east of San'a in Mareb province, officials said, adding that al-Shabwani is in charge of sheltering operatives in that area.
Yemen's government had reported that al-Shabwani was killed along with al-Qaida's military chief Qassim al-Raimi and four other operatives of the group in an airstrike Friday on another province northeast of the capital.
Al-Qaida released a statement shortly afterward denying any of its men were killed in Friday raid. But it said some "brothers" - militant jargon for al-Qaida members - were wounded.
However, the casualties could not be independently verified because reporters are not allowed to travel to the lawless areas.
Friday's bombing struck near the village of Yatama, about 118 miles (190 kilometers) northeast of San'a, in the province of Jouf.
Jouf and Mareb provinces are both al-Qaida strongholds.
Al-Raimi was described as one of Yemen's most-wanted militants accused of plotting to assassinate the U.S. ambassador. Yemeni officials have said he escaped a government attack on him last month.
According to a new Senate report, U.S. law enforcement authorities believe as many as three dozen Americans who converted to Islam in prison have traveled to Yemen, possibly to train with al-Qaida.
A copy of the report, obtained by The Associated Press, said several of the individuals have "dropped off the radar" for weeks at a time and continue to carry U.S. passports. The assessment was written by staff working for Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, a Democrat.

15" Retina MacBook Pro or 27" iMac
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble deciding between a Retina Macbook Pro 15" with the updated i7 and 768 GB SSD or a 27" iMac with the i7 and 3TB Fusion Drive. I would use the computer for editing HD video with Final Cut Pro X, Web Development, and regular usage like Safari, iTunes etc. I would also use the computer for when I start college in about a year. I have a Macbook Air but I mainly use it at work in Windows 7 for C# programming. I look forward to your suggestions and thanks in advance

Excellent question
I am an IT manager and a professional photographer. I was faced with the same exact situation. I ended up going with the rMBP that you described. Let me tell you why.
I had for years worked off of a laptop, starting with the old G4 Titanium MacBook Pro. I used that exclusively for my photography business at the time. Eventually I needed more overall power and moved to a G5 tower, then replaced that with an Intel iMac 21". That served me well for years. Doing photo and now some video editing I needed more once again. I compared the 27" iMac and the 15" rMBP and decided I wanted the portability again. For intense work and storage I have 12TB on my desk of storage and scratch drive (3 4TB Lacie Thunderbolt drives). For everything else I can work wherever I need. The rMBP rocks all of CS6 and Final Cut Studio as well as Aperture.
I am currently researching a 27" or larger monitor to use while at my desk. For now though the resolution makes up for the small screen real estate. Now keep in mind I am not saying you should go for the laptop, just offering my view on my decision. If you do not have need to be portable then I would go for the iMac. My 21" had 12GB RAM and it worked great. The rMBP has 16 GB RAM and with the SSD it is fast beyond words. You pay a premium to be mobile, so again if you already have a laptop you can save money and get a rocking iMac that will do what you need.
Hope this helps weigh things for you.

Macbook Pro
I faced the same decision and I went for the retina macbook pro with 768GB SSD for Windows via Bootcamp, if you need extra real estate when stationary you can connect to an external monitor (currently using a Dell 24" whilst saving for the Thunderbolt display).
I'm a professional web developer and that gives me the maximum performance and mobility. If you are going to college then mobility could be a factor for you.
Hope this helps

Customized Classic Moleskine Folio
Overall rating based on 142 reviews
Mark Dalpé – Verified Buyer
Well made. At first I thought the outer fabric was looser than it should have been but once I started using all the pockets I realized that the front and back pockets would be less useful if the fabric was tight. Smart design and it looks great 5 stars.
Thomas Hardy – Verified Buyer
This is such an simple and elegant solution, but let's me downsize from a cluttered briefcase to this great portfolio that still carries everything I need for work [and weekends]. The pockets and sleeves and protection flap resolve all the issues involved.
Taryn Edwards – Verified Buyer
I love this folio - it matches my messenger bag. I carry a moleskine, couple of standard size pens, and a slim 12 month calendar in the zippered pocket. This pretty much fills the folio - I wish it could hold an additional small notebook or maybe a half a post-it pad but that addition makes zipping the folio a challenge. I think I will probably end up removing the flap of fabric that is sewn in presumably to protect the moleskine cover. If the folio were just a tiny bit bigger I'd probably buy a few for Christmas gifts but at its current size it just seems a bit limited....
Christopher Boyer – Verified Buyer
I travel internationally to disaster sites for a living. My Moleskine notebook goes everywhere with me as my professional log of events, decisions, and discussions as well as my personal journal of thoughts and sketches. From the desert to the Arctic, my Rickshaw folio acts as the trusty companion and protector of my brain backup.
The options provided were exemplary, but I would add an option to be able to delete the protective flap between the notebook and pen holder side.... and maybe in the next generation an expanding model for when I am almost doen with one notebook and need to carry my reload!
Thanks for a high quality, durable, and spiffy product.
The moleskin was a VERY tight fit. I had to force the Moleskin in in and was difficult to zip with only 2 pens. The interior plastic and the cardboard used to stiffen the outer covers of the folio warped and became (and is still) deformed.
I contacted customer service at Rickshaw to see about returning the product. They could not have been LESS helpful. I received the following, telling me about HIS portfolio. What does this have to do with my problem????
1) I'm testing out My Classic Folio right now, and with four pens, there's enough room to hold other flat papers. The idea is to have a snug fit, so pens and loose papers stay in one place during transportation.
2) We don't use any adhesives in our Folio, and the plastic can be slightly misshapen by our binding process. The only thing I've found to help with rigidity is keeping the Moleskine in the Folio, and pens in each slot.
After other useless responses from customer service, I did get this "We would offer a 30% discount towards any future purchase" NO THANK YOU, I'll go back to TIMBUK2 for the quality and excellent customer service
Unfortunately, I had to click a star to continue, otherwise I would not have give this product any stars

The anonymous caller who rang up actor Thilakan on Friday night and threatened him is yet to be traced.
According to the Alappuzha South Police, Mr. Thilakan, who is continuing with a strike protesting his exclusion from a Malayalam film project, had lodged a complaint with the Alappuzha South Police around 9.45 p.m. last night, saying that he had received a death threat.
Mr. Thilakan, who was in a restaurant here when he received the call, told the police that the call came around 9 p.m., from an international number, suspected to be from the United Arab Emirates.
The caller, he said, had questioned his allegations against superstars in the Malayalam film industry and said that a "contract" had been awarded to Ernakulam-based known offender Thammanam Shaji to kill him within a week.
The Alappuzha South Police, who registered a case, said the information, along with the telephone number from the threat allegedly came, had been passed on to the Cyber Cell at Thiruvananthapuram.
Investigations were progressing though the caller was yet to be traced, police said.
Keywords: Kerala, Malayalam film industry, Thilakan, Anonymous threat call,

Beware! This place is a dump and the food is gross! The owner, workers and their friends must be the ones posting "Great" reviews.
I just noticed that this page "Menuism" still rates this restaurant at 96% favorable even after my disgusted review… though I see only two other very brief reviews posted about this restaurant at all.
So I'm deleting my review and will post it elsewhere online with a restaurant rating page that is actually accurate, if there are any.
Apparently it's pointless to post here. I'm left to think that Menuism must be in business to be paid by Restaurant owners to promote them online while pretending to be a place for unbiased rating and reviews by customers.
If you see a review and rating page where EVERY place is rated high, you know it's bogus. I think even the BBB was recently exposed on 20/20 or similar show for this kind of behavior.
What is America coming to that it is so easy to operate without integrity…
December 26, 2002
Excellent German meals. Quantity and quality are enormous. An all around good feel.
These dishes from the Henry Wahner's Restaurant menu are contributed by Menuism users directly, as part of a restaurant review, or as part of an image upload.

I would like to note it has been nearly one week since I sent the email to the website for the IKBA, ikba.de, and no reply has been received.
I will give it a few more days and resend, unless, of course our new friend "SirPig" has a better means of contacting official representation for the IKBA....or better yet, videos of Armen competing in officially sanctioned IKBA Championship matches?
A potential student asked a question.
I helped by poking around, most beginners do not know what to look for, to avoid or where to find information.
This is why Bullshido exists.
That said, Armen did NOT represent the US Olympic team in any way shape or form.
His website was also rife with apparently plagiarized materials.
This information has caused one potential student to look elsewhere, and likely at least one current student to seek another school.
This pattern will continue, i imagine, so long as the false claims are up and as long as Armen decides to avoid coming here to clear the air, so to speak.
I feel good about the outcome so far, the OP found the info he was looking for and people are "fighting the good fight."
Oh, and welcome to Bullshido.

Market Day is Nearly Here…
Come along and see all the action. Here's the Mud Map to help you find your way around. And here's the Entertainment Program and Stallholder List.
Saturday 21 March to Sunday 29 March 2015
Full Festival Program 2015 is available here
The Feast of the Senses is arguably North Queensland's premier Tropical Food Experience. It headlines our impressive variety of rare and exotic fruits whilst also showcasing our enviable range of other produce including meat, seafoods, herbs, spices and wine, the Festival celebrates a veritable smorgasbord of fine fare. Nowhere else is such a range of produce and cultures found as in this particular region of Tropical North Queensland.
The target audience for the Feast is not only the local community, but communities throughout Australia and even overseas with the intent of showcasing the wonders of the Ultra-Tropics®. The region boasts a vast array of tropical and exotic fruits which have been collected over the past 30 years from all corners of the tropical world. Mix this together with the many ethnic cultures in the region and the town centre itself which is home to the best collection of Art Deco architecture in Australia. To blend all of this with the wonderful array of local produce is to really experience the Ultra-Tropics® in all its glory.
In 2015 the Feast of the Senses Festival will celebrate with a 'Tropical Fiesta' theme which will reflect the regions of South America and the West Indies from which much of our tropical produce originated. We will see this influence across events in various different ways and this will give a carnival feel to the Festival as a whole.
Sponsorship Opportunities available in 2015
We have introduced some new sponsorship opportunities in 2015, to reflect that our community has many small businesses who may like to support the Feast but are not able to spare too much cash. Please check out our Invitation to Sponsor document. If you would like to discuss any points please contact Kirsty Densmore on 0447 037 476 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is a brief overview of some of sponsorships on offer:
We have introduced General Sponsorships which we are calling Gold, Silver and Bronze. As the name suggests they decrease in value. Gold sponsorship costs $1,000, Silver $500 and Bronze $250. These are what we call no nonsense sponsorships, available to businesses who recognise the benefit of the Festival to the local community in both economic and social terms and who would like to be a part of the event. These sponsors will be rewarded with recognition across our media opportunities both traditional and online. There will be some discounting of tickets and advertising and there will be tangible recognition in the form of a plaque of some description for display in business premises. Additional recognition for Gold sponsors will be inclusion in TV advertising, not something available to anyone other than major sponsors.
We have introduced a special sponsorship aimed, initially at city retailers in 2015. This involves our volunteers and the hi-visibility vests that they wear whilst carrying out their duties. Each vest will be printed on the back with the Feast logo followed by the wording: This volunteer sponsored by: and the relevant retailer name printed underneath. There will be 25 volunteers on the ground at any given time and we will have 50 vests, so each vest is visible on Market Day for at least 50% of the day. We would like to thank Leotta's Emporium for kindly donating 50 new hi-vis vests for our volunteers. The idea of initially targeting city retailers is that it presents a clear support by the retailer sector for the Feast of the Senses. This sponsorship has quite a long life as it will last for the life of the vest.
Once again we will print an A5 full colour program ahead of the Festival with all relevant events and details. The printing of this program is directly funded by advertising. However much we raise in advertising is how much we spend on printing and dictates the number of copies that we actually print – so the more advertising – the more copies of the program. These are distributed in Cairns, across the Tablelands, north to Mossman & the Daintree and south to Townsville. We know from past experience that the programs do attract visitors on Market Day and are used as reference by locals for attending various functions.

Shady City
Today in the Dubai Murder Mystery
If you have not been following this exciting story, I wrote a catch-up Monday for the magazine: do check out.
Washington Post columnist Jackson Diehl has a provocative post arguing that the international press (though not the kooky but ultimately even-handed Dubai police chief) have evinced a double standard in their coverage of the assassination (likely by the Mossad) of Hamas weapons procurer Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January as compared with, say, the recent gunning-down in Dubai of a Chechen separatist by a gangster allied with Russian leader Vladimir Putin:
the audience for a story about a Russian-sponsored assassination in Dubai is nothing like that for an Israeli hit. Relatively few stories were written about the Yamadayev case; there were no angry editorials in the Financial Times. Perhaps it's needless to say that Delimkhanov and the other suspects identified by Dubai have not been arrested or extradited. As Shmuel Rosner summed it up in a dispatch for Slate: "The consequences for the assassins? None at all. For the Chechen government? None. For the deputy prime minister? None. For Dubai-Russian relations? None."
It's a valid point, though, as someone who has followed this story, I think the especially sensationalistic aspects of it deserve at least as much credit (or blame) for the hyped-up, excited coverage it has received.
The Wall Street Journal reports on something that's been obscured amid all the talk of who killed al-Mabhouh: namely, that al-Mabhouh, and other shady characters, were routinely passing through Dubai in order to ply their trades. Iran particularly benefits from Dubai's laxness, according to the article.
Meanwhile, it looks like other countries are pissed enough at Israel over this for there to be semi-real diplomatic consequences. A whole bunch of European Union countries that had either abstained or voted on Israel's side in a previous U.N. vote over the Goldstone Report instead went against Israel in a General Assembly vote last week, specifically out of anger at the assassination and the forged passports. On the other hand, call us when this is affecting much more consequential Security Council votes.
Finally, a lighter (in some senses) story. Like their British counterpart, Australia's police have sent three investigators to Israel, to interview those Australian-Israeli dual nationals whose passports were forged. Except these officers made a bigger splash than they probably desired: they were involved in a hit-and-run. Specifically, they hit a woman on a bicycle and then kept going. The woman was unhurt—and prosecutors are not pressing charges—but she wants an apology and a new bike wheel. I'm pretty sure I'm not capable of making this up.

Knock, knock.
I open the front door in time to hear footsteps running through the yard, disappearing into dusk. A car in the distance squeals away before it can be seen through thestorm door. On the porch, there's a bucket with a clock, stack of money and a handwritten note taped to the handle:
"Mackin: Your old friend Summer here again. You remember me, don't you?
"I've changed. So have you. We're not as carefree and spontaneous as we once were, huh? Much more formal, predictable. But it's your lucky day again, Irish! This old bottomless bucket is filled with money, time and wishes. No limits. Do whatever you want by Labor Day. Have a great summer, old friend.
"Wear your sunscreen!"
I have had this same sort of summer daydream before.
School ends.
Memorial Day passes.
June zips past us like a rising Rosenthal fastball in the late afternoon shadows.
One lazy afternoon, I sit down at my computer and think about summer and all the things I'd like to do before it's too late --if a bucket of money magically appeared at my front doorstep.
I have written about this same summer daydream over the years. Five times, but who's counting?
Taken trips to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Hiked the Canadian Rockies. Went back to Ireland.
Rented suites for family and friends at Cardinal games. The giveaway to fans was a bobblehead of myself. Funny. He looks a lot like Rusty Staub.
Springsteen played at GCS Ballpark in Sauget on my birthday, and John Prine played in my backyard just for the heck of it.
I sponsored a charity, 3-on-3 basketball tourney for guys age 54-and-over and less than 5-foot-7.
But the last sentence on the bucket's note added an interesting twist.
"This summer 2014, you have to do something you have done in a summer past.
"You figured you'd never, ever do it again. Here's your chance to do it one more time, one summer day ...
Here are my Summer 2014 wishes:
Man walks on the moon. I was on a family vacation in the Smoky Mountains on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I was 10 years old.
I know NASA is out of the moon business today. But I'd give that whole bucket of imaginary money back to recapture that irreplaceable feeling of awe, hope, pride and imagination of a 10-year-old boy from East St. Louis as he gazed up at the moon later that night, in the Tennessee mountains.
Sit in the bleachers at Busch Stadium II. I haven't forgotten my favorite stadium. I loved the left field bleachers there. It's where I grew up. It's where I watched some really bad baseball in the 1970s, and really good baseball in the 1980s. I'd love to sit in those bleachers one more game.
Stadium road trip. Let's go see ballgames in Baltimore, Boston, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, and Minnesota. All American League cities. Remind me why I don't like the designated hitter rule.
Left field ball. It was amazing how much I learned about baseball fundamentals when we had only two guys on a team and a fence behind us.
Maybe play some "Kick the Can" that evening. I'm not sure I remember the rules or if we really kicked a can or not. I think about those childhood games some summer evenings when the street lights flicker and I hear the locusts hum.
Mississippi River Festival. I saw some real bands and had some great times. Details are confidential, though. I think the greatest accomplishment, on that large acreage of SIU-Edwardsville, was that we found our car in the parking lots, every time. That was well before you could push a key button and make your car horn honk or lights blink.
Go back to Ireland. I've been there once a few years ago. It only teased my curiosity. The only vacation I've ever been on when my family blended in with the locals.
See the Rocky Mountains again. It's been a few years. Nothing is more relaxing and inspiring.
Ice cream, you scream. Let's all meet at Dairy Haven in Caseyville. Orange twist cones for everyone!
Stay in a Bagnell Dam cottage. I'd like to find one of those old cottages at the Lake of the Ozarks that my family stayed in during summers in the 1960s. It's doubtful they're still standing. But I bet they're the size of a one-car garage. They had everything we needed for a memorable vacation - bathroom, stove, refrigerator, mosquitoes, moths and pool. TV? I don't remember. We didn't have time for TV.

02.03.05 - Riesa European light heavyweight champion Thomas Ulrich is headlining an event of Universum Box-Promotion on March 26 at erdgas arena of Riesa, Germany (Saxony). Ulrich is defending his European crown against Englishman Matthew Barney, 26-4-1 (6). In case of a victory the 29-year-old Berliner will get the chance to fight for the WBC light heavyweight world title in summer..
The WBC belt has been vacated by American Antonio Tarver last year. On May 21 Australian Paul Briggs and Polish Tomasz Adamek will contest for the vacant crown with the WBC #2 ranked Ulrich facing the winner.
Originally WBO interim champion Mario Veit was scheduled to headline the event in Riesa. But Universum currently works on a rematch between him and WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe. These proceedings led to a collision of dates.
Ulrich is holding the European title since July 17, 2004, when he knocked out Italys Silvio Branco in round 11. The fight against Barney will be his first title defense.
ZDF is broadcasting live from Riesa at 22:00.
Second attraction on March 26 will be Russian heavyweight contender Ruslan Chagaev, 15-0-1 (13), who is fighting Sherman Williams, 25-9-2 (15) from the Bahamas.
On the undercard: Koren Gevor (middleweight), Karoly Balzsay (super middleweight) und Sebastian Zbik (middleweight).
