FRANCE will use the eight nuclear tests it announced last week to design a new improved warhead, according to researchers who keep a watch on weapons development. The official line that France needs to carry out the tests to perfect its computer models of nuclear explosive - which will eventually replace the tests - is grossly exaggerated, they say.
The underground tests are planned to take place between September and May at the Mururoa atoll in French Polyesia, about 1200 kilometres from Tahiti
Chirac claims that the tests are needed to ensure the "safety, security and reliability" of France's nuclear deterrent and to help it develop a system for simulating nuclear tests in the laboratory. He says that after ...

I've been waiting for this market to boom since 1989! I almost bought a Cagiva Elephant to go with the Transalp but changed my mind sitting at the dealership. I tried to find a XR750 but that never happened either. Still would be cool to have one.

I'd rather them not change anything more than colors, so the aftermarket builds up nicely for mine. But I can see the direction this open class adventure category is heading, and the S10 is going to need an update to keep in line.
If you think about it, the vast majority of adv bikes never really see anything more than an occasional gravel road and in some cases only the grass where they're are washed so the only option is get something bigger because everyone knows bigger is better
Most of the harder cored OC forum guys were hoping for a 690Adv or a 800Adv, not a bigger heavier beast. I was glad to see the new 1190 KTM still has an 18/21 wheel combo on the R version.
and the R version
I didn't know the S10 was an 1200, I thought it was a 900 for some reason. Even with lower HP, of the S-10 for it's size, I think at and the F800, 800XC and the 950/990 are more than enough horsepower for the average rider. My 950 supposedly had 94 at one time, probably down around 84 by now. Heck, even my Transalp has sufficient power for 90% of what I do but rumor has it, the TA will have a stablemate in the spring to even out the Honda/KTM imbalance in the Garage.
Sadly though, in the next few years I'll probably replace my 950 with another 950 or 990, I just prefer street legal dirt bikes and after my last trip and what I put that thing through Saturday, while not the best bike out there, but after 60k hard miles, it is the best bike for me.

Every day is Ashura and every land is Kerbala
Tomorrow the 25th of November, Shia Muslims in Arusha are joining others across the world to mourn an extraordinary person, the climax of Ashura commemorations.
What is Ashura?
In the month of Muharram 61 AH (approx. 20 October 680 AD), an event took place in Iraq at a place known as Kerbala on the bank of the river Euphrates. It seemed in those days insignificant from the historical point of view.
A large army which had been mobilised by the Umayyad regime besieged a group of persons numbering less than a hundred and put them under pressure to pay allegiance to the Caliph of the time and submit to his authority. The small group resisted and a severe battle took place in which they were all killed.
It appeared at that time that like hundreds of similar events, this battle would be recorded in history and forgotten in time. However, the events that occurred on the 10th day of Muharram in Kerbala were to become a beacon and an inspiration for future generations.
Preserving His Sacrifice
Imam Husain took women, children, and all of his family members with him. This strategy ensured that after his death, his message would be spread through his family members, and that Yazid would not be able to suppress the truth or falsify Imam Husain's motives.
History proves that it was a brilliant move. His sister Zainab (A.S.), through her scholarly and bold speeches, and with no fear of the tyrant Yazid, eloquently proclaimed the truth and exposed the falsehood of Yazid in his own court. He was speechless and humiliated before her. His court was full of dignitaries, both local and from other nation-states, and his own supporters.
They were shocked to hear the truth put forth so forcefully, and many were brought to tears. The same scene was repeated in the bazaars and marketplaces of the country, all along the travel route of the surviving captives. Husain had laid the foundation of the revolution with his blood. His sister Zainab stirred the revolution with her oratory. That revolution changed the world forever.
Statements of Historians and World Leaders:
This unique historical sacrifice of Imam Husain and his small band of 71 male supporters has caught the attention of historians, scholars, and writers throughout the world, in all periods of history. Some of the more notable quotes and insights are given below:
"Of that gallant band, male and female knew that the enemy forces around were implacable, and were not only ready to fight, but to kill. Denied even water for the children, they remained parched under the burning sun and scorching sands, yet not one faltered for a moment. Husain marched with his little company, not to glory, not to power of wealth, but to a supreme sacrifice, and every member bravely faced the greatest odds without flinching." - Dr. K. Sheldrake
"If Husain had fought to quench his worldly desires, as alleged by certain Christian critics, then I do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam." - Charles Dickens
"The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Cerebella is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!" -Thomas Carlyle
"In a distant age and climate, the tragic scene of the death of Husain will awaken the sympathy of the coldest reader." - Edward Gibbon
"The tragedy of Karbala decided not only the fate of the Caliphate, but also of Mohammadan kingdoms long after the Caliphate had waned and disappeared." - William Muir
"A reminder of that blood-stained field of Karbala, where the grandson of the Apostle of God fell, at length, tortured by thirst, and surround by the bodies of his murdered kinsmen, has been at anytime since then, sufficient to evoke, even in the most lukewarm and the heedless, the deepest emotion, the most frantic grief, and an exaltation of spirit before which pain, danger, and death shrink to unconsidered trifles." - Browne's History of Persia

Boeing is reprimanding claims by US Airlines, which happen to be some of the airframer's most important customers, that Export-Import Bank financing utilised by foreign carriers creates uneconomic capacity and puts US carriers at a disadvantage.
The arguments are against the backdrop of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) currently negotiating a new aircraft sector understanding agreement that covers terms and conditions for export credit agencies in the US, EU, Brazil and Canada.
Several weeks ago carriers united under the Air Transport Association of America (ATA) sent letters to several members of the US Congress and members of the Obama administration including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, ExIm Bank chairman Fred Hochberg and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke outlining their concerns about ExIm support.
In a recent interview with ATI sister publication Airline Business Delta chief executive Richard Anderson expressed his strong belief about market distortion through "overcapacity as a result of the US government providing billions and billions of dollars of below-market financing for Boeing airplanes". As a result Anderson concludes that home airlines suffer. "I believe the airline business provides far more jobs and economic activity than the four principal aircraft manufacturers."
In an attempt to illustrate its argument ATA in part of a presentation outlining ExIm support compared financing packages covering three Boeing 777-200LRs acquired by Delta in 2009 with three 777-300ERs taken by Emirates. The estimates used a cost of $250.5 million for the 777-200LR and $271.8 million for the 777-300ER.
"Delta's interest rate was more than 4.5 points higher than the rate paid by Emirates," says ATA. "Emirates also obtained longer term financing and was able to finance a higher percentage of the purchase price. Emirates' loan to value ratio was approximately 12 percentage points better than Delta, which allowed Emirates to finance over $100 million more than Delta."
ATA is pushing for rules to curb all export credit agency support to the greatest extent possible. "ECA support should be available only to airlines in the poorest countries for which market financing is demonstrably foreclosed as a result of either political or credit risk and a careful assessment has been made regarding the expected deployment of those aircraft into the market."
Using another example of financing secured by Emirates, ATA states in 2009 ExIm "created a novel bond financing structure that permitted Emirates to buy several additional Boeing jets worth over $400 million under exceedingly favourable credit terms", while the United Arab Emirates had the 17th largest per capita GDP in the world.
Boeing warns ATA's claims are "without merit", and if the association's recommendation to curtail financing is followed, US aerospace's competitiveness would be seriously jeopardised as governments in Brazil, Canada and several European countries express interest in using export credit to finance sales for aircraft in their home markets.
Countering ATA's arguments, Boeing highlights that in 2009 2,381 small businesses provided products and services to Boeing Commercial Airplanes valued at roughly $1.5 billion.
Boeing also dismisses ATA's claim that export credit agency support has led to over-capacity in the market place. "We note that the International Air Transport Association just reported in its August monthly airlines financial monitor that published schedules suggest capacity growth will remain in line with demand."
Summarising its view as the negotiations for a new aircraft sector understanding agreement continue Boeing states: "Any new agreement should ensure a level playing field for manufacturers and airlines, allow for long-term availability of affordable export credit and provide the proper balance with commercial markets to avoid market distortion."

Do you have a marriage that you want to improve or you've already developed a good relationship that you want to keep for a lifetime? Each of us desires someone to love and someone we can love in return. I am simply talking about someone we can share friendship, laughter, work, caring and support through the good times as well as the hard times in life. Can partners stay together and love each other forever? Yes. Here are just a few ways to protect the love and happiness in your marriage.
u Peace in the home- After working all day and experiencing the hostile and harsh everyday problems, you need a place of refuge, peace, consolation and love. Refuge is a place of rest from danger and distress. Conflicts are a common part of relationships but, you got to handle the matters with respect. If you want to have a great relationship, the way you handle differences matters more than what those differences are. One of the most frustrating patterns that many couples encounter occurs when one partner tends to pursue talking about issues and the other partner withdraws. Unfortunately, men can come to believe that women like to criticize, and women can come to believe that men just don't care. We are just different. If a couple know how to talk safely about whatever they need to talk about, and if they know how to regulate negative emotions, they will be able to talk without fighting.
Resist the temptation to be negative, agree not to fight, and make every effort to treat each other with honor and respect. Remember, when you wrong your spouse, you are actually doing it to yourself.
u Do your part and be responsible- Marriage is not solo, but a duet. In other words, it takes two to reach what one cannot reach along. This means that you agree to not fight destructively, to commit yourself to keeping fun and friendship in your marriage, and to make the relationship a safe emotional harbor. Marriages are much more successful when each partner does his or her part. Far too often, when people think their partner is being unfair or is behaving inappropriately, they feel relieved of the responsibility to be the best partner they can be. Respectfully, you need to hold up your end of the relationship even when you don't think your partner is doing his or her share. Remember, two wrongs don't make it right. Somebody has to set the right example of showing love and maintaining peace and not allow the situation to escalate. Just as a guideline: write down everything you do for your partner and everything your partner do for you and if your list is shorter than their list, it means you're lacking in your service; when you lack in your service you are lacking in your love." Ouch.
u Open the Doors to Intimacy-Many studies highlights the best routes you can take to protecting and preserving a lasting love is focusing on the tunnels of love and the bridges over trouble waters. We all know that conflicts are inevitable and need to be handled, but people do not get and stay married to handle conflict together "till death do us part." They want to be married for all the great things relationships offer: deep friendship, companionship, spirituality, fun, passion, parenting, and connection with the core values of life. You must nurture these most wonderful aspects of relating if they are to bloom into fruition. So as you move forward on your journey, make a commitment to keep fun and friendship alive and thriving. Remember, if there are no deposits; there can be no withdrawals.

Blueberry Gum strain review with pics
Category: Nugs | Posted on Fri, March, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
Strain Name: Blueberry Gum (G-13 Labs Strain)
Genetics: Blueberry x Bubblegum
From: Green Closet
Date Acquired: February 5, 2013
Grade: A
Type: Hybrid (Indica)
Looks: Heavily trichome covered marijuana nuggets defining the word, "bling."
Smell: Berries in sweet cream with hints of bubblegum.
Taste: As the name implies, hints of blueberry bubble gum. Very sweet, very fruity with small hits, a bit more rich and earthy with large hits.
Buzz Type: Mellowing and relaxing. Stress release.
Buzz Length: Average to Above Average (1 to 1.5 hours)
* After mostly medicating with concentrates through the holidays, I came down with the flu (flu shot did not help this year) which was an immediate hiatus from using marijuana for three weeks. I really felt getting sick was a blessing in disguise because a three week forced "t-break" allowed my tolerance to get back in check after a few months of heavy concentrate use. Thus, not only is this batch of Blueberry Gum my first flower review of 2013, it was also my first smoke coming off a 3 week break.
This batch of Blueberry Gum was a very balanced hybrid; meaning, not heavy on the pressure, but just enough as an Indica should be for that pain relief and muscle relaxation, but also providing a good sense of awareness and focus. Work grind and day to day stress were minimized/relieved when medicating with this strain. I really enjoyed using this strain in the morning after intense gym workout session. Weekend "wake and bakes" were nice as I was hit heavy behind the eyes providing a relaxing morning.
Used mostly in my bubbler, every time I took a hit, I was reminded of fruity gum. This strain and particular batch was very flavorful, but dry mouth came rather quickly. My dry mouth issue was cured by the "munchies." I did not pig out, but found myself more hungry and eating more than normal while medicated with this batch of Blueberry Gum.
More often than not, I got itchy, red eyes that drove me crazy and the come downs were heavy at times where I caught the "yawns" combined with watery eyes.
Blueberry Gum is definitely one to check out just for the nice mellow buzz and flavor.
Cheers (& Cough),

Mass. woman sues FedEx over marijuana delivery
Category: Odd | Posted on Fri, March, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman has sued FedEx, claiming the company mistakenly sent her a package containing seven pounds of marijuana, then gave her address to the intended recipients, who later showed up at her door.
Maryangela Tobin of Plymouth said in the suit filed Feb. 12 that by disclosing her address, the company violated state privacy laws and put herself and her children in danger.
"I feel like the safety of my daughters and myself was invaded and it makes things complicated," she told WBZ-TV. "I walk into my house first every time, my kids don't."
Tobin said she thought the package was a birthday present for her daughter, because when she opened it, she found candles, pixie sticks and peppermint. There was also something she thought was potpourri, but it was marijuana.
Tobin said that about an hour later, a man knocked on her door looking for the package, while two men sat in a vehicle in her driveway, waiting. She said she didn't have it, and bolted and slammed the door. Tobin claims FedEx gave out her address, which led the men to her home.

We're actively campaigning to make London a city that's safe, inviting and enjoyable for everyone to cycle in.
During our Love London, Go Dutch mayoral election campaign in 2012, we secured a commitment from the Mayor of London to make our streets more liveable for everyone by making them as safe and inviting for cycling as they are in Holland.
In March 2013, the Mayor published his 'Vision for Cycling' – what we believe to be one of the most ambitious plans to promote cycling ever produced by a major UK political leader.
We're now campaigning hard to ensure that the Mayor delivers on his promises. Find out more and take action.
Our Space for Cycling campaign, with the help of thousands of Londoners, called on every candidate in the 2014 local council elections in London to support one specific action to create safe Space for Cycling in their local area.
We're now following up with those councillors to ensure they're delivering on their promises. Find out more about Space for Cycling.

a plurality of thin projections connected to and projecting outwardly from the housing to provide pain bumps to retard unauthorized tampering with the security device by applying excess twisting pressure to the housing.
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/022,084, filed Dec. 22, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,259,674; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Technical Field
The invention relates to anti-shoplifting devices, and more particularly to an anti-shoplifting device for merchandise having a cylindrical surface and in particular, for bottles having a cylindrical neck. The invention provides a security device that holds an electronic article surveillance tag (EAS tag) which is concealed within a rigid housing which is secured by a ratchet strap around the neck of the bottle. The security device contains a magnetic actuated lock, which when in locked position prevents removal of the security device from the bottle or other article of merchandise.
2. Background Information
Shoplifting from retail establishments has become an increasing problem in recent times. In response to the shoplifting problem, many types of anti-shoplifting devices have been developed for protecting different types of merchandise. Many of these devices include tags that are attached to the items of merchandise in a manner where they cannot be easily removed from the merchandise and which will sound an alarm when removed from the store. It is preferred that these EAS tags be hidden within the items such that a shoplifter cannot remove the tag without breaking a portion of the merchandise or the container in which it is installed. Many of these security devices are used to protect recorded media such as CDs, DVDs, VHS cassettes, etc. which are stored within rectangular parallelopiped boxes, many of which contain either a mechanical locking device locked by a mechanical key or a magnetically operated locking device or a combination thereof. Some examples of the magnetically operated locking devices are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,422,387, 6,666,330, 6,676,175, and 6,755,055.
Although these devices have proved satisfactory for such articles, they are not adaptable for articles such as bottles which are usually formed of glass and have a neck and closure cap thereon. Some of these bottles contain expensive products such as wine and liquor, which in some locations are stored on a shelf and not behind a counter, thus becoming susceptible to shoplifting. It is a desire to protect these bottles by attaching a security device easily around the neck of the bottle which contains an EAS tag, which devices can be reused to reduce cost to the retail establishment, and which devices can be placed easily and rapidly on the neck of the bottle for display without occupying an appreciable amount of storage and display space. These devices also must be able to be mass produced relatively inexpensive to enable the retail establishment to purchase a number of the devices for use on their displayed products.
Various types of devices have been developed which use a ratchet-type strap which is secured around an object, preventing removal of the strap to protect various items. Many of these devices use a flat plastic strap, either attached to or formed as part of the latching mechanisms, which for many applications do not have any lock and do not contain an EAS tag. Examples of such ratchet-type straps are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,214,808, 4,128,220, 4,287,644, 4,506,415, 4,580,319, 4,958,411, and 5,123,686.
Other types of devices using a ratchet strap which is desired since it provides an infinite number of latching positions on an item to be protected, has an EAS tag and some type of mechanical key operated locking mechanism. Examples of such prior art security devices are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,437,172, 5,524,463, 5,969,613,6,311,531, 6,326,890, and 6,044,669. Some of these devices have also been used for protecting bottles which includes an EAS tag and a mechanical locking device such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,098,256.
Although many of these devices perform satisfactory for their intended purpose, many of them are relatively expensive to manufacture due to the number of separate components that must be assembled. Also, many of these devices are relatively difficult to install and remove from the article of merchandise due to the particular type of latching or locking mechanism and mechanical actuated key for unlocking the security device and removing it from the article being protected.
Therefore, the need exists for an improved security device preferably for use on cylindrical-shaped objects, such as bottles, which device contains an EAS tag in a concealed housing which will actuate an alarm if removed from the store without first removing the security device from the purchased article, and which can be unlocked easily by a magnetic key to avoid the use of mechanical actuated locks which are usually more difficult to operate and require numerous components for incorporating the same in a protected housing.
The present invention provides a security device that is attached to an article of merchandise, preferably one having a generally cylindrical surface such as the neck of a bottle, without appreciably increasing the size of the protected article and reduction in display storage case.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide a security device which can be mass produced relatively inexpensive of plastic components, in which a ratchet strap is formed integrally with the housing and is formed of a sufficiently rigid plastic material whereby the strap has a preset curvature thereto so that the distal end thereof is located closely adjacent the entry port of the lock housing to facilitate the placement of the security device around the neck of the bottle and subsequent attachment to the bottle in a secured locked position. This enables a number of the security devices to be placed on a number of articles being protected in a relatively simple and time efficient manner.
A still further aspect of the invention is to provide a security device in which the lock can be actuated only by a certain type of magnetic key which must be accurately placed on the device in order to actuate a two-piece magnetic sensitive locking mechanism secured within the protective housing.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide such a security device which is provided with a plurality of pain bumps on the housing, that is, small, thin projections which retard a possible shoplifter from grasping the housing and applying sufficient pressure thereto when attempting to twist the housing and strap from the neck of the protected bottle.
A further aspect of the invention is to provide the housing with a curved arcuate flange which forms a portion of the housing and extends outwardly beyond the sidewalls of the housing to provide a relatively large article contacting surface which prevents excess twisting force from being applied to the housing when attempting to twist the security device from the neck of the bottle, and in which the flange forms an inner surface of the housing to provide a guide path for the preset curvature of the ratchet strap.
These features are obtained by the improved security device of the present invention, the general nature of which may be stated as including a rigid housing having a lock compartment with an entry port and a ratchet strap formed integrally with the housing and extending outwardly therefrom, said strap having a series of one-way locking teeth formed thereon and has sufficient stiffness to provide a preset curvature to the strap whereby the strap assumes a generally circular configuration with a portion of the housing to facilitate attaching the device around the article; an EAS tag disposed within the housing; and a locking mechanism disposed within the lock compartment, said locking mechanism including a magnetically attractable locking pawl biased toward locking engagement with one of the locking teeth for securing the strap in a locked position.
A preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated of the best mode in which Applicant contemplates applying the principles, is set forth in the following description and is shown in the drawings and is particularly and distinctly pointed out and set forth in the appended claims.
Similar numbers refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The security device of the present invention is indicated generally at 1, and is shown in a locked condition about the neck 2 of a bottle 3. Security device 1 includes a lock housing indicated generally at 5 (
In accordance with one of the features of the invention as shown particularly in
The term "integral" with respect to strap 17 and housing 5 means that it is a one-piece member, which is easily molded enabling device 1 to be mass produced as a low cost item, easily purchased by a retail establishment in considerable numbers for placement on devices, and in particular, bottles to be protected thereby.
Furthermore as shown in
Ratchet strap 17 has a first section 27 and a second section 28 with a series of one-way ratchet teeth 30 being formed on the outer surface of strap section 28. First strap section 27 preferably has a smooth outer surface 31 and has a plurality of spaced projections 33 formed along an inner surface 34 thereof. Projections 33 also extend into and along curved contact surface 25 of arcuate flange 23. The purpose of these projections are discussed further below.
As shown particularly in
A guide pin 51 preferably extends through lock chamber 13 between side walls 7 and functions as a guide to assist in guiding distal end 19 of ratchet strap 17 along inner surface 27 as the strap is inserted through inlet port 21 in the direction of Arrow A (
A finger tab 53 is formed on ratchet strap 17 rearward of first strap section 27 and provides a convenient position for an individual to grasp or shove against to move latching strap 17 in the locking direction of Arrow A (
In accordance with another feature of the invention, a plurality of pain bumps 55 are formed integrally on an project outwardly from side walls 7. These "pain bumps" are defined as generally thin projections having a somewhat rounded top point 56 and will cause some pain and discomfort to an individual should he/she grasp security device 1 between the thumb and a finger and attempt to twist device 1 or forcibly remove it from the bottle neck. Casual contact with the generally rounded tops 56 will not cause pain or harm to an individual unless a hard downward force is exerted thereon, which would occur if an attempt is made to grasp and twist the security device from the bottle. Thus, these pain bumps have no effect on the operation of security device 1 and do not pose a threat to personnel handling the security devices and/or bottle containing the same unless an excessive unlawful downward force is exerted on housing 5 as would occur by grasping it between a finger and thumb and attempting to twist device 1 from the bottle.
As shown in
The term "locked" as used throughout means that the security device is secured against opening without the use of a special key. This is in contrast with devices that are "latched" which can be opened without the use of a special key.
The operation of security device 1 is shown particularly in
To unlock security device 1 and enable strap 17 to be loosened from around bottle neck 2, a magnetic key 67 (
Thus security device 1 provides a relatively simple and inexpensive device which conceals and contains various types of EAS tags or other electronic security devices within a housing. Device 1 can be mass produced relatively inexpensively by plastic molding, which when molded, will include the ratchet strap 17 integral therewith, and which requires only the insertion of the two metallic locking components 39 and 40 and guide pin 51 into the lock compartment. Closure wall 11 then is secured in position by an adhesive, sonic welding or the like. Once closure wall 11 is permanently attached to enclose lock chamber 13, the lock mechanism and EAS tag are secured therein from external intrusion and are self-actuating, that is, locking pawl 39 returns automatically to the locking position for engagement with the strap end when reinserted into the lock housing upon removal of magnetic key 67.
Furthermore, the preset curvature of strap 17 greatly facilitates its placement on a bottle neck or about another type of cylindrical object such as a racket handle etc. since distal end 19 is already aligned with inlet port 21 and requires easy single-handed manipulation to secure the strap about the object. Likewise, arcuate flange 23, together with pain bumps 55, reduces the possibility that excessive force can be applied to security device by a twisting motion to dislodge it from a bottle neck.
It is understood that the pair of magnetic attractable locking components could be replaced with other types of magnetic operated devices. However, the use of the pair of components increases the reliability of the security system in thwarting the unauthorized use of a magnet by a possible shoplifter.
In the foregoing description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clearness, and understanding. No unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirement of the prior art because such terms are used for descriptive purposes and are intended to be broadly construed.
Moreover, the description and illustration of the invention is an example and the invention is not limited to the exact details shown or described.

A former police officer at Los Angeles International Airport was sentenced to four years in state prison on Thursday after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman while he was on duty at a terminal security checkpoint.
Former Los Angeles World Airports officer Michael Wayne Staunton, 56, will also have to register as a sex offender for life. An airport police spokesman said he is no longer with the department.
Prosecutors said that, on April 12, 2011, Staunton sexually assaulted 25-year-old female passenger. Officials said Staunted first approached the woman, who was sitting on a bench near a security checkpoint, and made a sexual comment. He then returned to her and told her to follow him. According to prosecutors, Staunton then took her to a storage area and sexually assaulted her.
On Nov. 18, a jury found Staunton guilty of sexual battery by restraint, assault by a peace officer and false imprisonment by fraud.

that is where you can download the software and driver for free
I know a VX3200 question is slightly off-topic here, but I note that mobileaction has this software for both the VX5200 and VX3200 (which is nice because we have both on our family plan) -- I haven't tried their VX5200 version yet (that phone wasn't home yesterday) but I did try their VX3200 software with my phone and it wouldn't connect to the phone -- it just sits there with the status line at the bottom of its screen saying it is trying to connect to the phone.
I have pretty much the same problem with bitpim not connecting to the phone -- BUT the verizon branded phonebook software connects to the phone just fine (unfortunately the vzw software has known problems with how it handles the data file).

Three recent Oscar winners were at the Palais tonight for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival: Lupita Nyong'o Natalie Portman Julianne Moore What do you wear on a Cannes carpet? Think of it like the Oscars… tweaked Euro. There is no such thing as too much. So Julianne's deep cut, feathers, and sparkles? Perfect. Full Story
Lupita's second Cannes
FameFlynet, M. Brown/ Splash News
The airport in Nice (closest airport to Cannes) is like a red carpet today. So many celebrities arriving ahead of the festival's opening gala tomorrow. Including Lupita Nyong'o. It'll be her second year. But I'm not sure if she's ever been on the tapis rouge. Can't find any shots of her at the Palais last year. Full Story
The Force is awake, and it's strong
Today is the Star Wars Celebration fan event in Anaheim, California—basically a Comic-Con Hall H presentation without Hall H—and JJ Abrams and the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (or however that title officially goes) debuted a second teaser trailer. The movie doesn't come out till Christmas, so we have plenty of time for full-blown plot-revealing trailers, but there's a lot of new footage and information to digest. Full Story
Lupita & Jared: the Oscar sequel

There's a shot of Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto from last night taken from behind them. And they were hanging out at the Vanity Party too. And coming off their SAG heat a few weeks ago, that's what we want to see, right? Possibilities? Well. Full Story
Lupita & Leto: is the Heat happening?

Heat. SAG Heat. That was the title of my post yesterday about Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto – click here for a refresher. As mentioned, my Video Assumption was that the way they were interacting with each other – as he pulled her closer while they were presenting and how she leaned back into him with his arm around her just off centre stage – was a sign of … something. Full Story
Lupita Nyong'o & Jared Leto: SAG heat
Kevork Djansezian/ Gregg DeGuire/ Mark Davis/ Michael Buckner/ Jeff Kravitz/
It's all in the Video Assumption. And Video Assumption is all about interpretation. My interpretation? Heat. Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto presented together last night at the SAGs. The winner was Mark Ruffalo who wasn't there. So Jared edged Lupita over to talk into the microphone. Full Story
Who's the Lupita of 2015?
NO ONE! There's only one Lupita Nyong'o every year but this year, none of the nominees are really breakouts in the way that Lupita was a breakout. The closest, I guess, would be Felicity Jones. But there's not the same buzzzzzzz surrounding Jones. And, you know, another reason there's no Lupita of 2015 is because, well, the Oscars certainly don't look like Lupita this year, do they? Happily, Lupita will be there as a presenter since she's the reigning Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner. Full Story
Lupita Nyong'o: Globes Best Glasses
Frazer Harrison/ Steve Granitz/ Handout/ Getty Images
Her purple lilac dress was stunning. It wasn't just a lovely colour, the design of it was such that the colour seemed to drip down her body from her chest, as though she was covered in purple paint. Amazing. But the dress is only 80% of the equation. Her hair is great, her makeup is great … The specs are killer. Full Story
Red Lupita
Steve Granitz/ Jason LaVeris/ Getty Images
Red is a big colour for Lupita Nyong'o. Remember at the Golden Globes? Lupita in that caped Ralph Lauren? That's when EVERYONE took notice. That's when she went next level. And then she won the Oscar. My ma the Chinese Squawking Chicken says that everyone has a colour. And that certain colours serve different purposes for different people. Full Story
Lupita's responsibilities
Andres Otero/WENN, Larry Busacca /Dimitrios Kambouris /Getty Images
Lupita Nyong'o was in New York last night to receive her Glamour Woman of the Year Award. She wore white and gold. She was a goddess. The right kind of goddess – with responsibilities. "I am still a work in progress," she told the audience. "To be woman is to be human. Full Story
Lupita of the single name
She's at that level, right? I don't even need to say her full name. Lupita Nyong'o is a beautiful name, but if I just say "Lupita", you know who I'm talking about. Musicians do it—Cher, Beyonce, Madonna, Britney, Adele, Lorde—but there aren't as many actresses who command the same single-name power. Full Story
Oh hi Lupita!
It's been a while since I posted about Lupita. There haven't been many new pictures. Look! New pictures! Lupita was in London last night at the opening of the Bally's flagship. Of course, the entire look was on point. The coat over the shoulders. But then when she took it off, the green belt, and, always… The HAIR. Full Story
Lupita & Elmo
This is the cutest thing you'll see all day. And it's not that Sesame Street doesn't always have a purpose, because of course kids are learning while they're watching, but for Lupita, she's always made it clear that, for her, there's a consistency in her branding too. Full Story

Arizona Skinhead Scene Suffering from Detective Matt Browning's Investigations
Matt Browning spent years in undercover work targeting violent racists. The Arizona Skinhead scene has yet to recover.
by Susy Buchanan
Butchers at Work
Browning first heard stories about a body in the desert in June 2002, but it would be a year before he located the remains -- little more than a jawbone by then -- and several more months after that until he could make any arrests.
Browning can't talk about the details of this case, either, as it has yet to go to trial. But police records largely compiled by Browning spell out the authorities' allegations.
In early 2002, these records say, Jessica Nelson, Josh Fiedler's former girlfriend, was living with friends of Fiedler's while he was away in prison. They were Cecilia and Bruce Mathes and Bruce's brother, Mark.
In February 2002, eight months before the Cole Bailey murder, Nelson allegedly decided that Mark Mathes had stolen money from her purse. She called Sean Gaines and asked him to take care of the situation.
Gaines assembled a crew, including long-time Skinhead Patrick Bearup and a new initiate, or "freshcut," Jeremy Johnson. Police say the three reached the home that Jessica shared with Mathes around 10 at night, armed with a baseball bat, a shotgun and a large knife.
In a prearranged setup, Mathes and Nelson were sitting in the backyard smoking, drinking beer and playing with their cats when the Skinheads rolled up. They quickly surrounded Mathes, according to the police account.
"You fucked up," Gaines said, pointing the 12-gauge at Mathes' head.
Gaines allegedly ordered Johnson to "take his legs out" with the baseball bat. Johnson swung at Mathes' knees, ankles and back. Nelson jumped in and punched him in the face. With Mathes on the ground, police say, Gaines smashed his head with the butt of the shotgun until Mathes' screaming finally stopped.
Bearup dragged Mathes to the car Johnson had borrowed from his girlfriend and heaved him into the trunk. With Mathes moaning behind them, police say, Johnson and Gaines drove the car more than an hour north, to a remote area known as Swastika Mine. Bearup and Nelson followed in a separate car.
When they reached the mine, they stopped near an embankment. Johnson opened the trunk to find Mathes staring at him, gurgling from his injuries as he tried to speak.
Bearup and Nelson ripped the clothes from his body, police say. They used bolt cutters to cut off one of his fingers when they couldn't easily slide a ring Nelson fancied from his finger. Mathes screamed, but Gaines again silenced him with the butt of his shotgun. Then Gaines allegedly shot Mathes twice in the face. His lifeless body was thrown into a ravine.
It wasn't long before some of the Skinheads had bragged about the crime to friends. Jeremy Johnson -- who eventually confessed to police and agree to cooperate in the capital murder trial of his comrades -- told his girlfriend, Elizabeth Hall, what had happened that night. After all, it was her car he'd borrowed to transport the body.
Several months later, when Hall was no longer Johnson's girlfriend, she went to the police with her story. Quantities of Mathes' blood were recovered from her trunk.
Browning worked the case until the suspects' arrest in September 2003. He is expected to testify at their upcoming trial.
To Hunt the Hunters
What gets to Browning is that no matter how many Skinheads he sends to jail, the problem seems to remain constant. He describes it as a never-ending circle.
"You have your main core group that you are working, you work them and all of a sudden, pow! You get them on charges and they go to prison. Because of the way the prison system works, they go in, become educated, become more versed in combating law enforcement, their beliefs become stronger. They come out and it's really still for a while and then it starts building up and building up and then your circle starts over again. Your core group is back out, just stronger, wiser and more and more violent than before."
After spending much of the last decade working undercover in white power groups, Browning has mixed emotions. "If I had to do this all over again, I wouldn't," he says in a moment of frustration.
But it's hard to believe him. Minutes later, Browning is talking with excitement about a project he started last year, the Skinhead Intelligence Network (SIN), a tri-state network composed of 60 law enforcement officers from Arizona, Nevada and Utah who meet on a regular basis to trade information on Skinheads. Browning hopes in the future to hold training seminars and take SIN national.
He wants to testify before Congress one day and lobby for stronger hate crime laws that would call for mandatory sentencing for those convicted of crimes committed because of the race, orientation or religion of the victim.
He says law enforcement needs to take Skinheads more seriously and look into using racketeering laws to take down entire organizations, as he had hoped to do in the Cole Bailey case.
"We started looking at RICO [the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act], but before we could use RICO on them, the NA guys got into a pissing match and pretty much destroyed the National Alliance before we could do it."
As he talks, his excitement and passion for his work is genuine, and the weight seems to lift from his shoulders. The stress, frustration and constant threat of violence that come with the job are things he is quite willing to shake off once he focuses back on his work. Browning seems to relish the challenge of beating Skinheads at their own game without ever really playing it, and he's full of advice, not discouragement, for those considering following a similar path.
"I think the most important thing to remember if you want to go undercover is do a lot of research," Browning says. "You can't go into a Skinhead meeting and say hey, I like your suspenders [the Skinhead term is braces]. They'll kick you out. Just like they will if you go into a Skinhead meeting wearing patrol-issued boots."
Learning to recognize things like white power tattoos is important, he says. And it's critical to earn the trust and respect of your targets -- just like it's important to choose the right targets.
"Skinheads are extremely easy to work once you get into it. There's that courting time, and you have to know who the players are and if the group you are getting into is worth the effort," Browning says. "Are they just a bunch of beer-drinking guys who wear a swazi [swastika] shirt now and then or are they the ones who are actually going out there and doing boot parties?"
Browning sits back and smiles.
"I want the boot party guys. I want to party with them. I want the guys who go on hunting trips and kill Mexican nationals and dump their bodies. That's who I want to go after."

Disorderly conduct: The new crystals put bling on its edge.
When you are looking for a modern detail to update your look, think about a clustered blast of raw, haphazard crystals. The new bling has a gritty, offhanded elegance reminiscent of rock candy or shattered glass.What's modern is not the cheap trick sparkly bling many of us associate with pave phone cases, cloyingly cute crystal encrusted novelty doodads, or glittering from a too tight T-shirt.
