Person of Interest in Random L.A. Murders Detained
See our latest: 6 Random Shootings Rock L.A. as West Hollywood Attack Could Be Connected
A man described by police as a "person of interest" in the seemingly random drive-up murders of three people in the San Fernando Valley yesterday morning was detained by cops after a SWAT standoff last night. Police were also looking for possible links between the Sunday violence and as many as two other slayings in Los Angeles last week.
The man's identity was not released. And because witnesses described as many as a two people in a gold or tan SUV used in the shootings, it's still possible at least one suspect in the shocking attacks is still on the loose.

Los Angeles Police Department Capt. William Hayes told reporters at the scene last night that ...
... the detainee had to be hospitalized for unknown injuries after the early evening standoff in the 13700 block of Kismet Avenue in Sylmar.
Police couldn't confirm to us if there was a possible link between Sunday morning's shootings and a 6 a.m. car-to-car injury shooting of a female motorist Wednesday on the 5 freeway in Atwater Village, but Officer Lilian Preciado said the shooter in both cases used a shotgun and was in an SUV.
Besides that Atwater Village attack, investigators were probing the possibility of a connection to at least one other shooting last week, the LAPD's Frank Preciado told Associated Press. The other attack happened Thursday in Pacoima, where a man was found fatally shot inside a stopped-but-running vehicle.
Sunday's shootings started about 5:50 a.m. in the 1400 block of Celis Street in the city of San Fernando when cops discovered five gunshot victims, one of them dead at the scene, according to the LAPD.
The victim was said to be the
wife daughter of the father-son victims who were reportedly Eucharist Ministers at Santa Rosa Catholic Church.
At 6:35 a.m. firefighters at Los Angeles Fire Department station 91 heard gunfire and summoned police, who found a man of about 30 years of age fatally shot in 13000 block of Borden Avenue, at the Sylmar Recreational Center, according to the LAPD.
At 6:45 a.m. a woman who had been fatally shot in the head in the 1200 block of Fillmore Street was discovered, the LAPD said. NBC Los Angles reported that she had been in a stopped car, waiting to pick up a friend so they could attend Guardian Angel Church together.
The station reported that a mattress nearby had been freshly painted with satanic symbols or language.
The LAPD said they were still working an "ongoing investigation" and that witnesses or anyone with information about the attacks should call 877-527-3247.

They will soon be gathering in the George and Dragon pub in Kent to toast a Tonbridge exile who is about to represent New Zealand against Belarus in the Olympic Games.
Tonbridge is the home town of New Zealand Oly-Whites coach Neil Emblen. The George and Dragon is, according to those in the know, the best pub in the place.
Emblen says "the landlord and landlady" are good friends of mine" and he expects the pub to be packed on Thursday evening (UK time) to watch the telecast of the Oly-Whites-Belarus clash in Coventry.
Tonbridge is only "about 35 to 40 minutes out of London", Emblen says, so it's a little ironic that the former English premier league player has had to go halfway around the world to earn a place at an Olympic Games in his own backyard.
Emblen reckoned he never imagined coaching a New Zealand team when he moved to Auckland in 2005-06 to play for the now-defunct New Zealand Knights team in the A-League.
"I think London was awarded the Olympics around then but it wouldn't have been in my mind to think 'wouldn't it be great to one day take a team back there?'."
But Emblen is now established as a Kiwi and admits to feeling deeply moved when the Oly-Whites were welcomed for their brief stay at the London Olympic athletes village with a haka.
He's also building his career as a young coach, having guided Waitakere United to three national league titles and qualification for the Oceania Champions League.
The former Millwall, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Norwich City and Crystal Palace player has also been a technical adviser to the All Whites in 10 of their past 11 senior internationals.
Emblen says six months ago he would have "loved to be involved [with the Oly-Whites] in any capacity, including assistant-coach or spongeman".
Now his All Whites' role has been reversed. He's calling the shots with national head coach Ricki Herbert on the sidelines offering an extra pair of eyes.
Emblen says he has been lucky to get the chance to "stamp my own mark" on the Oly-Whites.
But he says his dad, who is going to the Egypt game at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground and Brazil at Newcastle's St James' Park, is "almost more excited than I am".
"I' ve been talking to him on Skype about the Japan and South Korea [warmup] games . . . It's a big thing for him that his son is responsible for the team and is in charge of players like Shane Smeltz and Ryan Nelsen."
If Emblen, who started his career at the Tonbridge Angels, guides the Kiwis to victory then expect an almighty roar from the George and Dragon.
Meanwhile, English football star David Beckham will have a role in the opening ceremony at the Olympics.
He had hoped to play for Britain's team at the Games, but coach Stuart Pearce did not include him in the squad. There will, however, be a spot for him on Saturday (NZ time) at Olympic Stadium.
There is talk Muhammad Ali could also play a role in the opening ceremony after he arrived in London this week.

Interesting article and infographic on entrepreneurship in the United States. Anyone considering opening a small business should take a look at this.

Son almost always leaks out diapers
Kaiden Jace born October 6th, 2013
go up a size.
Dr. K Bryan
PhD Vaginal Psychologist
"Depressed vagina? I have a cure for that."
Where is he leaking? Sides, or top? If top, make sure his penis is pointed down as much as you can. If sides, you either need to change him more often or go up a size, or change brands.
Stay-at-home-mom to Cole, 4/15/09 and Edie, 10/15/13
I was going to say about pointing the penis down as well... That's one of the tips I've been given numerous times to prep for, that if you don't point it down when you put on a new diaper, he's basically going to pee up and out onto his clothes right away. Hopefully that's all the fix you need!

Unions involved in the Interislander pay saga were to continue with mediation today as the threat of a pre-Christmas strike starts to take its toll on ferry bookings.
Representatives from the Aviation and Marine Engineers Association and the New Zealand Merchant Service Guild met KiwiRail in Wellington on Friday in the hope of nutting out a deal.
A KiwiRail spokeswoman said the mediation was to resume today.
The unions have threatened to strike for a week from December 1 if a deal cannot be reached. They represent 70 engineering officers and 54 deck officers.
If they were to strike, all Interislander sailings between Wellington and Picton would be suspended.
KiwiRail predicts about 14,000 passengers, 4000 cars, 20,000 rail wagons and a similar number of trucks would be disrupted.
Chief executive Jim Quinn said the Interislander had seen a significant number of cancellations and refunds since the threat of strike action was announced a week ago.
There had also been little booking activity for the proposed week of the strike. He declined to give specific details of the financial impact, but said the business could be damaged.
"We are disappointed that while this is going on we can't give our customers any certainty about sailings on the days of the proposed strike."
The unions have been negotiating collective employment agreements since February, but recently drew a line in the sand over KiwiRail's desire to trim payments for long service.
Strike notices were issued last Friday.
KiwiRail then returned fire with lockout notices, as the union members had intended to remain on board the ships to keep them safe during the strike, and therefore still be paid.
Mr Quinn said mediation was a step in the right direction.
Interislander was still working through options of what to do with on-board and terminal staff who were not involved in the industrial action, should a strike eventuate, he said.
"Shipboard staff may not be able to remain on board if engineers shut down all the systems. We hope this will be avoided by settlement before December 1." Fairfax NZ

Huge park with loads of deer
During the feudal period in the 6th century Nara was the capital of Japan and first impressions of the place when we get off the train is it is quiet and relaxed, a similar vibe to Hiroshima but smaller. We're staying in a traditional hotel which means we are sleeping on the floor on futon mattresses which we first have to make space for by clearing the table and chairs away.

We got to climb up the very sketchy scaffolding all the way to the roof of the temple (hurray, why was I not warned of this?) The wood used to restore the building is actually imported from Canada as well, go us.
Nara the birthplace of Buddhism
... nicer than many of the others. I ordered a mushroom soup and the mushrooms were so cute, they were small and glossy and tasted a bit like champignons. Scotty got a chicken and egg soup, I think his might have had a bit more flavour than mine but I enjoyed it. Flavours can be very subtle here, almost bland and I'm not sure if a like it. After our soups we doubled back to near the big temple and went up to some other buildings in the complex. These had a great view of the town ...

This temple also dates back to the 8th century, but of course with fires and earthquakes there have been a few reconstructions and restorations. Inside the temple, you can actually purchase a tile for donation to the temple to use in their maintenance effort. Ashley and I did this, but before giving the tile up ...

Wild deer wandered through the cherry trees, rain still dripped from the leaves whilst everything – every lantern, every archway, every building – was blanketed in a thick mat of moss. The smells of wet trees and soggy moss, the occasional drip of rain on our heads, only added to the peace and seclusion of the afternoon. Some of ...

New York Yankees Trade Watch: Justin Upton
The New York Yankees have never been afraid to put on the full-court press to bring the game's superstars to New York City. Whether through a blockbuster trade or free agency, the New York Yankees' history is littered with some of the best players to play Major League Baseball. This bold approach to team building has served them well over much of the past century and it is not likely to change drastically anytime soon. The newest high-profile name that should be fitted for New York Yankees pinstripes is Arizona Diamondbacks' outfielder Justin Upton.
For the second time in approximately 18 months, the Diamondbacks have expressed an openness to moving Upton in a trade. Of course "an openness to move" a player and actually having intentions of pulling the trigger on a deal are not the same. Whatever the true level of intent the Diamondbacks are exhibiting in this regard, the Yankees need to make a serious offer for the 24-year old right-fielder.
There are two clear reasons for the Yankees to aggressively pursue Upton. The obvious one is Upton's superior raw talent. He has yet to show that he can consistently translate that talent into MVP-caliber production from year to year, but he's still two-plus years from reaching his prime. The second reason to aggressively pursue Upton is the hole that is soon to be created by Nick Swisher and his expiring contract. Swisher has been extremely productive as a member of the Yankees, but he's going to be 32 heading into 2013. A three-year deal through his age-34 season wouldn't be a terrible move, but anything beyond that would start to start to sound a bit foolish. Upton is owed $38.5 million through 2015 – a reasonable expectation of what the Yankees would have to pay Swisher if they decide to re-sign him.
These types of blockbuster trades usually occur in the offseason which would be good for the New York Yankees because they need some of their top prospects – particularly pitchers Manny Banuelos and Jose Campos – to get healthy. Who knows what a winning trade package would eventually look like, but Justin Upton is the type of talent worth putting a serious dent into the farm system for and the Yanks have enough ammo to bring him to the Bronx.

|I don't want to generalize
I don't want to generalize based on just my own experiences, but in my time as a coach, we have had players die from racing cars and playing basketball. There are inherent dangers to just about any athletic activity.
I have yet to see evidence (not saying it doesn't exist) that playing high school football has a negative impact on long-term quality of life. It's true that some guys end up with bad knees, bad backs, etc. but there are lots of ways to get those things. I have a good friend who ran cross country in high school, and his knees are messed up while I'm fine. And while the cumulative effects of CTE buildup are probably worse than those of an arthritic knee or two, I don't know that the difference is that significant. We could be a nation of Forrest Gumps running across the country, tearing up our knees, or we can live life to the fullest and let the chips fall where they may. I wouldn't stop my kid from skiing, doing gymnastics, or playing baseball - all of which can result in horrific injuries - so I wouldn't stop my kid from playing football, either.

Well, I'm sure it's not that rare that a professional athlete has a kid who's being recruiting to play college sports. Udonis Haslem might still be in the NBA, but his son isn't playing college football. He's a high schooler who will probably join a college roster in August 2017.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the age of the earth does not affect the majority of us any more than knowing the exact scientific process in which oxygen is produced by plant life. Is the Earth here for me to live on? Yes. Are the plants producing enough oxygen for me to breathe? Yes. Okay, thanks, I think we're ready to watch "The Bachelor" or do some laundry now.

The point is that arguing against having a spiritual belief (a.k.a. atheism) is just as "damaging" to some people as arguing for one. Ultimately, whether the world was created 13.5 billion years ago or 6,000 years ago does not matter much to you or me. Both of us were born in the late 20th century (I presume), and we will probably die in the middle of the 21st century. When Tim Tebow dies, his "spirit" will do one of two things - it will disappear forever, or it will live on in some form or fashion. Either way, it doesn't affect you or me.
But nobody's being coerced. "Coercion" involves force or threats.

LATEST: A Woodville man fought for his life after being "maliciously" gored in an attack by a cattle beast.
Emergency services were called to a lifestyle block just outside Palmerston North about 1.45pm yesterday. The 61-year-old, who suffered neck and stomach injuries, was stabilised by ambulance staff before being flown to Palmerston North Hospital in a critical condition.
He was this morning reported as being in a stable condition.
Palmerston North rescue helicopter pilot Chris Moody said two people who witnessed the attack described the longhorn cattle beast repeatedly lifting the man from the ground during the attack.
"This chap was engaged in moving the beast and, by all accounts, it was pretty agitated at the time and he's certainly come off worse for wear."
Injuries caused by livestock were not uncommon, but they were usually accidental, he said. This one had "quite maliciously taken the farmer out".
In June, Upper Hutt man John Leitner, 80, spent six weeks in hospital after being set upon by an angry half-tonne aberdeen angus-cross on his Masterton farm.
During the trampling and mauling, Leitner suffered serious injuries to his head and chest including a punctured lung, fractured sternum and six shattered ribs. He was hit from behind while loading bulls on to a truck bound for a Taranaki works.
Truckie Marcus Thompson and another farmer launched themselves at the enraged bull, punching and kicking it until they managed to get the beast into a paddock. The bull ran through three wire fences, charged two police cars and an ambulance, and rammed into Leitner's car. It took four bullets to kill it.
