$207 million was seized in Mexico City - the largest drug cash seizure ever.
There is little doubt that the sole reason people sell drugs is for the money. Money serves as both the motivating force and the lifeblood of DTOs. Therefore, attacking the financial infrastructure of DTOs has to play a key role in any viable drug enforcement strategy. DEA's objective with financial investigations is to identify and halt the use of drug proceeds that finance the continued operations of DTOs.
Financial Investigations Strategy
Since the major DTOs involved in methamphetamine production are also involved in the smuggling of marijuana, heroin, and cocaine, it is virtually impossible to differentiate the source of the drug money by the type of drug. In the case of methamphetamine, payments to sources of supply are almost exclusively in the form of currency. Thus, financial investigations relating to the movement of funds to Mexico are not classified or segregated by any particular type of drug. However, illicit drug proceeds can be categorized based on how they are used by the DTOs. Drug proceeds are used to pay sources of supply, to support the infrastructure of the organization, and to acquire personal assets. The "cash on hand" left over can be considered as either part of the organization's working capital or personal wealth.
To significantly reduce the supply of illegal drugs, DEA must focus our efforts on the drug proceeds used to pay the sources of drug supply. Denying the sources of supply revenue from the distribution of drugs will hamper their capability to acquire or produce additional drugs and support their organizations. The higher in the drug distribution chain we can deny the revenue flow, the greater effect this denial will have on the entire distribution network.
More than $10 million in drug proceeds seized throughout "Operation Plata Sucia"
Payments to sources of drug supply flow almost exclusively in the form of currency. This currency is handled and transported covertly, just like the drugs that generated it. Thus, the investigation of this component of drug proceeds is a "contraband" investigation, as opposed to an "asset tracing" investigation, which are more traditional money laundering investigations that other agencies are better equipped and more experienced in dealing with than the DEA. DEA, on the other hand, is the best equipped and trained agency to carry out "contraband" investigations. DEA, on the other hand, is well-equipped and trained to carry out "contraband" investigations. Accordingly, DEA "financial investigations" focus on identifying and interdicting those drug proceeds flowing back to the source of drug supply.
In this type of money flow investigation, the financial transactions are also overt acts in the drug conspiracy and, oftentimes, provide the best evidence in linking local drug organizations to their sources of drug supply. Since drug money flows toward the "command and control" of the DTO, as opposed to away from "command and control" like drugs, a money flow investigation enables an investigator to work his/her way up the distribution chain, which is the primary objective of all drug investigations. To ensure maximum effectiveness, DEA money flow investigations are designed to be compatible with, not competitive with, the long-term asset-tracing type investigations that have traditionally been the norm. In fact, whenever DEA is involved in a long-term, asset-tracing type investigation, there is always an agency such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) involved as well.
A 2005 DEA study determined that during 2003 and 2004 there were excess U.S. dollars present in Mexico that could not be accounted for from legitimate sources totaling at least $9.2 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively. It is estimated that the four major drugs that are smuggled into the United States from Mexico ( i.e. methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana,) generate as much as $22 billion per year for the sources of supply.
DEA has identified the following as the major money laundering threats relating to movement of drug proceeds to Mexico:
To address these threats, DEA has formulated a strategy that encompasses intelligence-based enforcement, as well as domestic and international collaborative efforts to target the movement of bulk currency and ultimately attack the command and control targets in the United States and Mexico. By working closely with our Federal, state, and local law enforcement counterparts in the United States and our counterparts in Mexico, we exploit the intelligence from bulk currency interdictions to identify, target, and ultimately, prosecute the command and control targets on either side of the border.
Drug dealers tried to conceal their dirty money in this tire.
DEA also works closely with the Treasury Department, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to identify opportunities to apply regulatory sanctions and freezing orders against these Mexican DTOs. Through enforcement operations, analytical analysis of the Bank Secrecy Act, and other financial records, we identify the movement of drug funds. We also target rogue remitter agencies and agents who are complicit in the movement of drug money to Mexico, through criminal enforcement and asset forfeiture.
To carry out our strategy, DEA, through the Office of Financial Operations, has instituted a number of national initiatives, that target bulk currency smuggling and the remission of drug money through U.S. wire remitters.
In October 2004, DEA instituted the Bulk Currency Initiative. The Bulk Currency Initiative is an information sharing vehicle by which our state and local counterparts can share the information they obtain from making a currency seizure, whether it be along the nation's highways or in operation at an airport. Information obtained by DEA in this manner many times can be tied to other investigations throughout the world. The currency seizure itself then becomes an overt act in the drug conspiracy investigation and often helps to identify other co-conspirators within a DTO that were previously unknown. This initiative resulted in an increase in DEA's currency seizures for FY 2005 of over $80 million, from $259 million to $339.6 million, an increase of 31 percent. This initiative continues, and DEA hopes to see similar results for this fiscal year.
To coordinate multi-jurisdictional bulk currency investigations, DEA's Special Operations Division (SOD) instituted the Money Trail Initiative. In the first year and a half, the Money Trail Initiative was responsible for the dismantlement of six national organizations involved in the transportation of bulk currency drug proceeds from various points in the United States to Mexico. As of July 2006, this initiative has resulted in the arrest of 418 defendants and the seizure of $65.4 million in United States currency, $14.5 million in assets, 59.6 metric tons of marijuana, 9.7 metric tons of cocaine, 126.7 kilograms of methamphetamine, 9 kilograms of heroin, 249 vehicles, and 77 weapons. One of these SOD investigations, Operation Choque, resulted in the identification and arrest of Mexican CPOTs Oscar, Miguel, and Luis Arriola-Marquez, and the dismantlement of their organization, which, based on ledgers seized by Mexican authorities, was responsible for the smuggling of at least 14,000 kilos of cocaine into the United States and the smuggling of $240 million out of the United States. Based on information supplied by DEA, Mexican authorities have seized over $18 million of the Arriola-Marquez Organization's assets.
Domestic efforts
In 2005, DEA seized $7 million in Operation Cali Exchange.
DEA has 24 Financial Investigation Teams (FITs). These teams are located in each of its 21 domestic field divisions, as well as in our Bogotá and Bangkok Country Offices. Each domestic field division has one FIT located in the same city as its division office, with the exception of the Miami Field Division, whose FIT is located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and the Chicago Field Division, which has two FITs based in Chicago.
The FITs are tasked with carrying out DEA's national financial initiatives, providing guidance to other DEA personnel in financial investigations, conducting the more sophisticated financial investigations, and serving as DEA's local point of contact with the financial community. Administrator Tandy has mandated that all DEA investigations include a financial investigation. The FITs are not expected to conduct all DEA financial investigations. However, they do provide guidance, when needed, to other DEA investigators on their financial investigations.
DEA has assigned 159 Special Agents, 8 Intelligence Research Analysts, and 3 DIs to the FIT Teams, which averages 7 Special Agents per FIT. With the exception of the Washington D.C. and San Francisco Field Divisions, each FIT is multi-agency, with participation requested and encouraged from Federal, state and local agencies. Current participation by outside agencies is as follows:
The Special Agents, Postal Inspectors and Police Officers from these outside agencies conduct drug-related financial investigations jointly with their DEA counterparts. This team effort brings the specialized expertise and jurisdictions of their parent agencies to the table, where all participants have the same access to the DEA databases as their DEA counterparts.
In addition to the FITs, DEA has a number of Special Agent personnel assigned to liaison positions within the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense and the Executive Office of the President (ONDCP) who enhance our ability to conduct financial investigations. These Special Agents have sign-on authority to the databases maintained by these agencies that they need to perform their liaison duties. In addition, DEA has a limited number of Special Agents assigned to other law enforcement agencies. These agents have direct sign-on authority to the databases of the agencies to which they are assigned. One example of this is the ICE-led El Dorado Task Force in New York, where DEA has a full enforcement group assigned.
International Challenges
Within the United States, regulators and law enforcement have a fairly accurate overview of financial transactions. Particularly after the additional tools provided by the USA PATRIOT Act came into force, law enforcement generally has access to the information it needs to identify and thwart significant money laundering efforts within the United States. However, this same transparency is not present in many other countries, including Mexico. Accordingly, DEA believes that most drug proceeds are now smuggled out of the United States to Mexico in bulk, rather than inserted into the financial system within the United States.
Because of the lack of transparency of their financial system, the Mexican financial services industry continues to be a facilitator for drug money movement. Although it is a sophisticated financial sector, obtaining financial information from the Mexican financial services industry remains difficult.
However, based on intelligence information from various DEA, ICE, and other United States law enforcement operations, we do know that once bulk currency is delivered to its intended recipients in Mexico, it can take a number of paths. Most commonly, bulk currency is deposited into the Mexican banking system through casas de cambio, centros cambiarios and banks, and then repatriated to the U.S. banking system through correspondent banking and bank note sales to United States institutions. While some of the bulk cash can be used to purchase precursors and equipment for methamphetamine manufacture, it also can be infused into the financial system through Mexican front companies or used to purchase real estate, businesses and other luxury assets in Mexico. In some instances, the bulk cash is converted to larger denominated United States dollars at casas de cambio or centros cambiarios for further smuggling to Colombia or for further smuggling to Panama for delivery to the Panama Free Trade Zone to purchase commodities on behalf of Colombian businesses. The combination of widespread corruption within Mexico, coupled with insufficient regulatory and criminal enforcement, makes disguising and moving drug proceeds in Mexico a relatively safe and simple task.
As part of our strategy to employ regulatory measures against money laundering systems that facilitate drug money laundering, DEA works closely with the FinCEN and other law enforcement agencies. DEA provided information to support the issuance of FinCEN's April 2006 Advisory to all United States financial institutions on the smuggling of bulk cash and the role of Mexican casas de cambio in the repatriation of those drug dollars into the United States banking system. DEA enjoys a very close working relationship with the OFAC. Much of the information used by OFAC to support its designations under the Kingpin and Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker authorities is provided by DEA.

Reducing Traffic Congestion in Los Angeles
View the print-friendly version: PDF (0.2 MB)
Traffic congestion in Los Angeles is arguably the worst in the nation. Focusing on the densest areas of L.A. County, RAND researchers analyzed the problem and identified the key factors that determine the area's transportation policy needs. The researchers provide a set of 13 complementary recommendations that, if implemented together, could reduce congestion substantially within the next five years. Given limited prospects for building more roadways, pricing policies must be among them to create lasting traffic reduction.
L.A. traffic congestion is the worst in the nation, according to many studies, and it takes its toll on quality of life, economic competitiveness, fuel economy, driving safety, social justice, and air quality. Congestion has recently eased somewhat with rising fuel prices, but long-term trends indicate that it will continue to get worse unless policymakers take steps to intervene. But what steps?
To answer this question, RAND Corporation researchers conducted a study to identify strategies to reduce traffic congestion that could be implemented and produce significant effects within five years. The study, which focused on the denser urban areas within L.A. County, was sponsored by a small consortium of public and private local donors that share an interest in reducing traffic congestion through improved transportation policy. They include James A. Thomas, the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Music Center of Los Angeles, and the RAND Corporation.
The authors reviewed the research literature related to congestion, examined existing data, and spoke with agency staff and elected officials in L.A. County. The researchers identified several key factors that influence the kinds of solutions most likely to benefit Los Angeles. Here, they provide a set of 13 recommendations that, if implemented together, could reduce congestion substantially.
Several Factors Shape the Region's Transportation Policy Needs
Congestion results from an imbalance in the supply of and demand for road space. Therefore, reducing congestion means either increasing the supply of road space or reducing the demand for peak-hour automotive travel.
The prospects for building the way out of congestion are limited. Failure to increase state and federal fuel taxes to keep pace with inflation and improved fuel economy over the past several decades has led to significant shortfalls in available transportation revenue. Even if more funding were available, however, the road network in Los Angeles is already by far the most extensive in the nation, and there is very little space to add more road capacity in the areas where congestion is most intense. In addition, many local communities oppose the construction of new or expanded roads in their neighborhoods, for social, health, or environmental reasons, and this further limits the possibility of adding new roads.
Managing the demand for roadways during peak hours offers the greatest prospects for reducing congestion. Compared to those in other large U.S. metropolitan areas, L.A. residents drive more miles per person — thus demanding more roadway — than would be expected based on the region's overall population density. In other cities, higher population density tends to result in lower per capita demand for roadways, but in Los Angeles, the per capita demand for roadways remains high despite high population density. Therefore, the most realistic way to reduce congestion is to find ways to manage the demand for driving during the peak hours.
Few congestion-reduction strategies remain effective over time. When a congestion-reduction strategy is implemented and traffic delays are reduced, travelers who had previously altered their travel patterns to avoid congestion will notice the improvement and return to driving along the once-busiest routes during the peak hours. Some will shift from other times of travel, some from other routes of travel, and some from other modes of travel (such as subways or commuter rail). This pattern, often described as triple convergence, slowly erodes the initial congestion-reduction benefits offered by most strategies. Triple convergence explains, for example, why traffic flow improves for a short time when new lanes are added to a freeway but then returns to being congested within just a few years.
Many strategies provide short-term relief, but only pricing strategies resist triple convergence and manage congestion in the long run. Often called congestion pricing, these strategies involve charging drivers more for their use of roadways when travel demand is highest. They include assigning higher tolls for driving during peak hours or collecting higher fees for parking in the most convenient curb spaces at the busiest times. Triple convergence does not diminish the effect of pricing strategies, because the peak-hour charges encourage some drivers to change their travel patterns and deter others from converging on the freed capacity when prices rise with increased demand.
Pricing strategies must be complemented by significant alternative transportation improvements. Certain forms of pricing may introduce concerns about the ability of lower-income drivers to pay. To mitigate such concerns, policymakers must offer faster, more reliable, and more convenient public-transportation options throughout the region.
Recommendations Address Four Key Goals
The researchers determined that Los Angeles needs not just one way to reduce congestion, but rather a set of integrated strategies designed to accomplish four goals: manage peak-hour automotive travel, raise transportation revenue, improve alternative transportation options, and use existing roadway capacity more efficiently. The table summarizes the recommendations and shows the goals to which each one corresponds.
The recommendations promise substantial benefits:
- Paired one-way street conversions can increase travel speed by about 20 percent and reduce travel time by 20 to 30 percent.
- High-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes can maintain free-flowing travel speeds (60 to 65 mph) during peak travel hours while carrying up to twice the volume that congested general-purpose lanes do.
- HOT lanes can also raise sufficient revenue to subsidize express-bus operations.
- Bus rapid transit (BRT) featuring bus-only lanes can result in much faster transit service at relatively low cost.
|Strategy Recommendations and Policy Objectives
NOTE: = an additional goal that a recommendation may help support. = a primary goal that a recommendation is intended to accomplish.
These Strategies Should Be Implemented as an Integrated Package
The researchers emphasize the importance of implementing the recommendations as a package rather than choosing only certain options (such as the least expensive). Although supply-management strategies — such as traffic signal–timing improvements — are less controversial, their benefits are likely to be only temporary. For Los Angeles to reduce its traffic congestion for the long term, its transportation policies must include pricing strategies. In addition, the recommendations are designed to complement one another in three important ways.
First, with respect to funding, some recommended measures will be costly to implement, while others will raise revenue. Those that will require significant investments include signal timing and control, one-way street conversions, arterial incident management, and BRT expansion. However, other measures, such as cordon tolls, variable curb-parking rates, and local fuel taxes, offer the potential to raise significant county or municipal transportation revenues. HOT lanes and deep-discount transit-fare programs can also provide modest net revenue.
Second, regarding drivers' ability to pay, some recommended measures raise equity issues, while others mitigate them. Cordon tolls — and, to a lesser extent, HOT lanes, variable curb-parking rates, and local fuel taxes — are likely to raise concerns about how lower-income drivers will afford the resulting charges. Therefore, it will be important to improve nonautomotive travel alternatives through such strategies as voluntary, employer-based demand-management programs; deep-discount transit fares; and enhanced BRT service featuring bus-only lanes on surface streets and express bus service in HOT lanes on the freeways.
Third, concerning the competition for road space, some recommended measures reduce road space for cars, while others create more of it. One of the most promising short-term strategies for improving the speed and convenience of public transit in Los Angeles is the creation of bus-only lanes on transit-rich surface streets, such as Wilshire Boulevard. However, individual drivers are likely to object to allocating an existing lane to buses because doing so reduces the road space for cars. To balance this reduction in road space for cars, two measures create additional lane capacity — peak-hour curbside-parking restrictions and one-way street conversions. Combining these strategies to balance one another may make it easier for policymakers to gain the support needed to implement them.
Leaders Can Build Consensus to Support the Needed Reforms
Recognizing that the recommendations require substantial policy changes, the authors also researched how leaders can build consensus to support the recommended transportation policy reforms. The following actions will aid in such efforts:
- Form a diverse, inclusive coalition of community representatives to provide political leadership.
- Broadly define the problems associated with congestion to help foster agreement on the need for aggressive action to reduce congestion and improve transportation options.
- Develop a compelling narrative of the benefits of action.
- Generate support for comprehensive programs rather than for individual projects.
- Apply congestion-reduction strategies systematically.
The challenge of consensus building will be compounded by the complexity of the transportation decisionmaking environment in L.A. County, in which cooperation among multiple agencies is required and lack of agreement can delay or stop the process.
The authors' analysis indicates that successful collective action is possible and that the recommendations offered in the book would promote social welfare across multiple dimensions. Reducing congestion should help to improve quality of life, enhance economic competitiveness, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, improve air quality, and improve mobility for drivers and transit patrons alike.

London attractions: Visit the Palm House for some summer fun at Kew
Published: Wednesday 12th of June 2013
If you are looking for things to do in London this coming week, then why not take a trip down to Kew Gardens?
There is hardly anything more beautiful than taking a lovely, leisurely stroll through a beautiful garden on a warm, summer's day, and if you are a nature lover, then it can't get much better than Kew.
The attraction is currently hosting a festival called the IncrEdibles, which takes the visitor on a voyage through some of the world's most edible plants.
Every year, Kew Gardens holds exciting activities during the summer, and this year is perhaps the most palatable of them all.
This summer-long fun fest will include the Tutti Frutti boating experience, where visitors can hire boats and glide their way through the gardens en route to Pineapple Island. Pineapple Island is just that - a giant pineapple building in one of the gardens - the Palm House, which will allow guests to sail their way around the garden's pond.
Wesley Shaw, Palm House manager at Kew Gardens said that this summer, there will be plenty for guests to get their teeth into.
He said: "This year it is all about edible plants. We've got all sorts of things going on in the gardens to highlight the importance of edible plants. We have extra interpretation in the Palm House highlighting the plants we have here. There is a global garden which is being built further up in the north end of the garden to highlight all of the temperate plants you can grow that are edible. We also have a giant pineapple in the Palm House pond, where you can hire little boats and ride around."
Mr Shaw has worked as a gardener at Kew for over 11 years, and said that the sheer diversity of plants at Kew Gardens is unlike anything he'd ever seen in other parts of the city before.
He added that both the plantlife and the friendly faces of those who work at Kew, make the attraction an ideal place for him to work.
"Kew is a special place, some great people work here and put in a good team effort. It has the most diverse plant collection in the UK and for a gardener like me, who is into plants, it is just the best place to work. It also contains the rarest and most unusual plants that you are likely to come across."
The Palm House is one of Kew's most iconic gardens and is often featured on their publicity and marketing material.
It has also attracted a fair few celebrities over the years - as well as royalty. One of the most memorable moments, Mr Shaw said, was when the Queen came to visit on the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.
He added: "It is not just a typical garden really, so much goes on here, it always keeps things fresh and interesting. We've had Bradley Wiggins who did a photoshoot. We've also had Lily Cole come for a visit and Dido was here a few years ago. The last one we had was James Cracknell doing 'A Question of Sport' here."
Unsurprisingly, the Palm House is one of Mr Shaw's favourites, out of all the beautiful gardens in Kew, and has a very rich and varied history. It is the oldest of the glasshouses at Kew, built back in 1844. It is also home to a selection of tropical plants which normally grow in the rainforest and the temperatures are kept high and humid to facilitate growth.

Out of the nearly 500 general dentists who responded, 89 percent believe prescription medications are the primary contributor to dry mouth. Aging, dehydration and salivary gland disease were also cited as major contributors. The survey of AGD members also revealed that:
Xerostomia can be a side effect of a variety of diseases and medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, Sjogren's syndrome, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, cystic fibrosis, stroke and mumps. Certain cancer treatments, nerve damage, dehydration, smoking and chewing tobacco have also been connected with dry mouth.
"It's not always easy to diagnose xerostomia because of the subjective nature of the condition," said Gigi Meinecke, DMD, FAGD. "That is why it's so important for patients to discuss symptoms with their dentist, even if they do not experience them on the day of the office visit."
The AGD reports a number of actions dry mouth sufferers can take to alleviate the condition:

October 8, 2015
TUSCALOOSA, AL - A federal court jury began deliberations Friday in a suit brought by about 1,400 former and current Family Dollar store managers who claim they're owed back pay for working overtime.
The suit claims the managers of the North Carolina-based discount stores are owed as much as 48 million dollars. That amount could be doubled if the chain is found to have acted intentionally to violate federal labor law.
The jury recessed after a day of deliberations and will return Monday morning. The suit expanded after being filed in 2001 by Janice Morgan of
Childersburg, Alabama. It contends the managers should not be exempt from overtime because their duties have little to do with management and fit the description of hourly employees.
Family Dollar says the managers are properly paid because their duties include hiring and training employees, as well as overseeing customer service and the "financial performance" of the store.

Do other countries help the U.S. with tragedies when it happens here or are we the only ones who
help out other countries?
- Asked by daffodils2008, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Medical / Dental
We have allies in the so-called "war" in Iraq. Other countries respect us - or at least they did until they wanted to throw shoes at our "president". LOL
- Response by twocents47, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 46-55, Who Cares?
Google and research all the foreign aid that came in for Katrina.

Community Rating: Community Star
Many countries help each other out, but no one, NO ONE, is as generous as this country. It is a total misnomer in world history. It is why this country is the greatest one on earth, it is why this country will find a way to rebound and secure itself, it is why I moved here from Europe. This country is amazing. It has more abundance and freedom than any place I have ever been.. and I have been a lot of places...
- Response by timeforanoverhaul, A Father Figure, Male, 36-45, Managerial
When 9/11 occurred, many countries offered help. Britain, Australia, Germany, Russia (yes, Russia), Japan and so on. The one big difference is that we typically have all that we need to take care of ourselves, but many countries did offer to help
- Response by ecgjyt, A Mr. Married Guy, Male, 46-55, Medical / Dental
Well I know that Canada has sent help to the US when need. Recent ones were 9/11 and Katrina that I can think of off hand.
- Response by MaryAnne, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Regina, Managerial
Canada is always there to help...send us their ill citizens, because their health care is so lame.
- Response by A Mr. Married Guy, Male, 56-65, Retired
Yes they do help the U.S. During hurricane Katrina and Rita and during 9/11. But that wasn't mentioned because the media was so busy stirring shit.
- Response by sanguinenight, An Alternative Girl, Female, 22-25, Student
I'm sure other countries reach out to help people in the US especially during significant tragedies. However, the US is looked upon as so successful and so giving in emergencies, that sometimes people think we don't need their help because we are so well off and a country well organized. But during 9/11 and Katrina, a lot of help was received from abroad. Good luck.
- Response by kincaidrfd, A Guy Critical, Male, 56-65, Self-Employed
i think you just get adored and that should be enough if you want my opinion you are eneblers and you enjoy giving so other countries can never imagine you in trouble
- Response by omu1nand, A Thinker, Female, 29-35
It has been said for many many moons that the us has provided aid in over three hundred and ninety six international tragedies. If you haven't noticed before now, notice how the word tragedies has the word "DIES" in it. I'm just sayin. Now in all of our foreign relief , in other countries, we have lost eighty nine thousand, six hundred and ninety two human lives , plus some donkeys. I have never seen the Mexican Navy pull up in lake Erie asking if anyone needed any help with the ice storms. Does that answer your question?

A new study conducted by the Brandeis University and the University of Rochester suggest people with high self-confidence and believes of achieving high goals despite hardships tend to live longer live and healthier live. The effect is found to be more among those who have less of education.
In an earlier study the finding was different. It said people having high school diploma or else having less of education are more likely to die younger compared to the college degree holder or those who have graduate training. Well, now it is said this is not a hard and fast rule. There are reasons to this too.
In the new study, supported by the National Institute on Aging, it is said those people who are less educated and have good control in life has mortality rate lower by three times compared to those who have lower sense of control.
The researchers support their findings by saying that high sense of control in human beings seemed negating the mortality risks of lower education.
Minnie and Harold Fierman Professor of Psychology, Margie Lachman, said good control of life deletes the educational differences in terms of mortality and such people is also indistinguishable from those who are educated.
The study was published in Health Psychology journal's website. Lachman is one of the authors of the study. Other authors include Frank Infurna of the German Institute for Economic Research, Nicolas Turiano and Benjamin Chapman of the University of Rochester Medical Center and Stefan Agrigoroaei of Brandeis. They used data of more than 6,000 people from a national survey from Midlife in the United States (MIDUS).

General Board / Housing at Stetson« on: March 22, 2005, 09:41:42 PM »
Does anyone here know anything about good apartments near Stetson or about the houses the school has for rent?
I looked at about 15 apartments when I was there and really liked Emerald Bay in St. Pete. The school's houses looked crappy from the outside, but the tour guide told us that they were pretty nice on the inside. I am coming down there with my little dog, wife, and 9 year old, so I can't go to somewhere unsafe.
Just trying to get some personal knowledge, TIA.
General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: Moving Your Stuff to Law School« on: July 13, 2005, 09:59:44 AM »
Thanks for all the input on this thread. I've thought long and hard about all the options and have arrived at Penske as the solution to my moving problem. Slightly more expensive than their competitors, yet markedly better in reviews at www.epinions.com. I'm leaving CT on July 28 in a 16' rental van with my car in tow, dropping off the car in St. Louis (where my fiancee lives), continuing to California, dropping off Penske in Palo Alto, flying back to St. Louis, getting married there, driving my car with the wife to California (while her parents drive her car), going on honeymoon, returning just in time for 1L orientation.
This sounds familiar to my logistical nightmare...lol. I really liked my Penkse truck. They offer a AAA discount. I was already a member, but it would be worth the fee for one year considering the amount of the discount. Also, beware....they didn't have the 20 foot truck I reserved, so they gave me a 26 foot truck for the same price. Wasn't a big deal in the end, but that was a huge monster to drive.

General Off-Topic Board / Re: Anyone use VoIP?« on: June 04, 2005, 12:35:27 PM »
Do you have 911?
That's the catch right there, paying for the cable modem. The Vonage plan I use is $15/month for something like 500 minutes. I will probably go up to the $25/month unlimited minutes.
The cable modem is around $40-45 a month. I can't remember off the top of my head. I already had cable, so I saved on the vonage plan in the long run.
If you are satisfied with dialup connection, then there isn't any huge savings or detriment sticking with that. I have to have a high speed connection or I will go nuts, but there are still plenty who are perfectly fine with dialup at home.

They give you a form and instructions so you can register that phone number with your local 911.
General Off-Topic Board / Re: Anyone use VoIP?« on: June 03, 2005, 08:12:50 AM »
I am pretty satisfied with Vonage. A lot really depends on your Internet connection. Most times, I never notice the difference unless I am talking on my phone and downloading a bunch of things simultaneously. Your connection speed is dependent upon other things as well. If the ISP doesn't provide enough routers for your area, it can get bogged down as well. They just upgraded my area, so it is pretty good for once. Overall, if your connection is good, I would recommend it. I would put it on par with using your cell phone all the time for a phone.

This page related to: wrongly accused on child sexual abuse; social workers; miranda rules, molested child; competent legal help.
You have just been wrongly accused of some misdeed, child sexual abuse, rape or some other nefarious act. You know you did not do this and you want to cooperate with the authorities (police and/or social workers) because you want to show them you are innocent. Therefore, if you have not already done something foolish you may not be able to resist making a string of errors unless you get wise.
The first thing you need is an attorney. Not just any attorney will do, but an attorney, even a poor one is better than none. Speak to nobody without your attorney present.
Beware the pretext call from an alleged victim, an estranged spouse, or somebody else wishing to discuss the allegations with you. The typical pretext call is typically well scripted with a police detective writing down things for the alleged victim to say or ask. The calls are being recorded to be played in court as a "confession." This is a scam used by police detectives to get around the Miranda rules. It is used to devastating effect. You do not have to admit you did anything on the phone, just something that can be used to claim it is an admission. Words can be distorted and misinterpreted; something you feel is just an attempt to reason with the person is likely to be seen differently by an emotionally manipulated jury. If a cop says it is a confession, 99.9% of jurors will believe it is. Your only chance for survival is to simply hang up the phone. I know you want to defend yourself, but this is an area in which you simply cannot win. I have seen thousands of cases where there would never have been charges filed but for the things that came out of the client's mouth. It is hard for most people, but Americans especially, to know when to shut up. Once accused the ONLY person you should speak to about the issues is your lawyer!
An issue that comes up on the false accusations discussion list repeatedly is how cases are complicated by not acting soon enough. The last thing most people want to hear is that defending themselves is going to cost $30,000 right at the gate. Who in their right mind wants to spend that kind of money? Especially when there are those who promise, they can help you for a fraction of that.
There are others on the net who "call" themselves "consultants" on these cases and they sometimes offer advice very similar to ours, but at a lower price. People can call themselves whatever they like. In some cases, what you get for that lower price is 75% or less of what we do. Typically their tactics are comprised of incomplete testing, no real prep for the testing, and tossing the test results even when they are good into the air and hoping that they work. One "investigator" believes he can "prep" people for his idea of testing. The problem is that because of this several of his clients have been criminally charged where they otherwise would not have been charged. Most of the time the investigator he gets away with it. Nevertheless, in a growing number of cases he is not. Another uses some of the testing we do, and then turns it over to a local attorney who could not correctly spell the test names last week. The result is that the tests prove ineffective and the process to be a waste of money. Then I am brought in to try to fix things when the testing has been exposed and rendered almost useless. You need to understand that it is more than just getting the testing done, it is in knowing how to use it and when to use it and how to use it. For all the good intentions in the world, using the cheaper deals is usually more expensive.
"If you want nice, fresh oats, you must pay a good price for them."
"If you do not mind that they have been through the horse once, then they come cheaper."
Why is all this important to you? Even if your case is a civil case, if you screw things up or a poor lawyer does, you may find bad decisions cast in stone. Most lay people do not understand how the law works and maintain childish notions of how "justice" operates. Let's work with that civil case for a moment. You do the things wrong, have a poor lawyer. The court finds that you molested your child. Your lawyer mishandles an appeal and the time to appeal lapses. Most folks like you think that when you get new information or new advice that you can just go back and clear everything up now with the truth. In most states once a decision has been made and time for appeals closed, the decision becomes "the law of the case" and it can never be changed regardless of the evidence. The false accuser can admit it in open court and stick their tongue out at you. The decision is "the law of the case" and cannot be changed regardless of anything. The courthouse door is locked for you.
Many schemes for handling these cases have come and gone over the years, only one has proven to work almost universally, and it is the case outline we use. In almost 30 years it has proven to be the most reliable and effective one going. It is expensive and sometimes not the most fun to have to go through. However, if you could have the knowledge of thousands of cases you would know it was the real cheapest way to attack problems like yours.
You are walking into an area where you are playing Russian roulette. For all the claims of people saying they have records of accomplishment to match ours, the truth is they do not. We can lead you to the water, but we cannot make you drink it. I know when I speak to you that you do not want to hear about spending $15,000 on testing when others say they can get it done for $1,000. Moreover, that it is "up-front." I can only appeal to you to do the right thing.
You need good competent legal help right away. Getting the right lawyer makes all the difference in the world to how much you eventually spend and the outcome of your case. Nobody comes close to the A-Team.
Yes legal costs are high. There are "cheap" legal services out there. You can find lawyers who will take on a false allegation case for as little as $500. The problem is that at the present time a number of legal assumptions are working against you. The first one is that "ALL" allegations are true. Another is that "Children NEVER lie." And then you compound the problems with the professional prostitutes that nearly always find abuse. They are what are called "Validators" professionals who can take any statement from a child and twist that into absolute evidence of abuse. Then they have medical workers who will take even the absence of any medical findings and proclaim that the lack of finding is "consistent with abuse." Of course that isn't the real problem. The real problem is the juries who hear things like "consistent with abuse" and convert that into a mistaken belief that there IS medical evidence of abuse.
So in order to counter this oppressive atmosphere the first thing an accused needs is an attorney who knows how to handle this kind of case. You can pick a guy 2 hours out of law school for $25 an hour. Of course he is going to be legal "road kill" and so are you. Some people have argued with me on the Internet that "ANY" lawyer will do, that "ANY" psychological expert will do. They have loudly claimed that; "All lawyers and psychologists have exactly the same training." The sad part is that many people believe that. "Why pay thousands of dollars for a high priced expert psychologist to do testing for you when you can have "anyone" do the testing and then bring in a big gun to just testify as to the results of the other guy's testing?" Let me answer that:
No matter who you hire to work on your case you are faced with a situation dealing with the usual hundreds of man hours spent on the case by the state by their expert lawyers and expert witnesses documentation (transcripts of statements, reports) etc when you have no time to read them. No time for taking depositions. Unless you like "trial by surprise" you'll want a bit more effort on your behalf. If you want to wait until the trial to find out the evidence against you fine. You'll go to prison, but fine! If you want to wait until the state's experts have testified, fine. Oh, did I tell you when you find a problem during a trial; you do NOT get to ask for a time out?
So doing your case is going to take time. Hours and hours of time making sure you know the opposition's case better than they do and that you have an answer for every one of their claims. Otherwise, expect that jury of your peers who believe that "EVERYONE WHO IS ACCUSED DID SOMETHING!" to send you away for a very long time. When any workman worthy of his hire does his job he is spending time on your case. You have to pay for that. Too many people attack the people trying to help them because they charge so much. I get that. Here is a deal, don't send me anything about your case, don't talk to me about it and I won't charge you a penny! If you actually want me to help you, and want me to spend time on your case, then I charge for it. And I like any professional work on a base hourly rate. How much I or anyone decent working on your case will charge is directly related to how much time we book on your case. Like every professional. Don't ask me to cut corners because that is what kills your case.
Yes the costs are unfair when you are falsely accused, but not because the professionals are unfair with you, the unfairness is on the part of the false witness and often state malfeasance. You need, however, to understand that as unfair as this system is, all others are worse. You would not want to live under a socialized legal system. Actually that socialized legal system IS available to you right now in America. We call it the "Public Defender." Ignore that 95% of their cases are plea bargained (they don't like to take cases to trial). Also ignore that of the cases the PD's take to trial, 98% result in convictions. Forget that with a PD it is unlikely you can have ANY experts at all. If you get a doctor, he's likely to be an alcoholic on the impaired physicians list or something akin to that. As pointed out elsewhere the big budgets for the PD's come in capital punishment cases. There they get as much as $3,000 for everything. Depositions, court reporter, transcripts, investigator, experts and the PD himself. WOW! Yes, in countries with socialized legal systems they have near a 99% conviction rate. And in them you generally don't get an appeal. Still want to complain about OUR system?
(I have had several PD office take issue with the above statistical statements. When asked to prove them wrong from their own records they had to back down because these claims are generous to them.)
Alan Dershowitz on the Larry King show had the greatest answer to a caller on this subject I have ever heard. The caller was complaining that O.J. Simpson "bought" his acquittal, that justice was for sale in America. Dershowitz' retort was: "money can't buy justice, but a lack of money does buy INJUSTICE!"
I can't tell you how many cases I have seen in almost 30 years of work where "discount" lawyers have not understood the cases and allowed evidence that wasn't really evidence to contaminate cases and allowed their clients to be convicted. I have seen too many cases where lawyers allowed testimony that a child's hymen "grew back" with not even the slightest glimmer of understanding that hymens do NOT grow back! What your lawyer or expert doesn't know CAN INDEED kill you!
No — the A-Team are not the "Counts of Discounts." We don't use cheap easily discredited wannabe experts. If you want somebody to half-ass your case, I suggest you get somebody else. Remember, those who CAN…. DO… those who CAN'T make wild claims and write books!" When somebody tells you he will do EXACTLY what I do for 25% of what I charge, there's a reason why he's so cheap! The short answer is that you get at least 75% less!

Centre Theatre
The Centre Theatre opened on a February evening in 1939 with a Hollywood-style opening as "a thousand invited guest walked through the glare of spotlights while newsreel photographs turned their cranks and candid camera fans sniped from the sidelines." Crowds poured in to the theatre and turned to the circular proscenium covered with gold leaf and illuminated by hundreds of lights for a preview showing of "Tail Spin." The $400,000 new building was not just a theatre but included a whole complex with the WFBR radio station and studios, a branch bank office for the Equitable Trust Company, and a garage. Owner Morris A. Mechanic was born in Poland on December 21, 1904 and emigrated to Baltimore with his parents as a child. In 1929, Mechanic worked as the principal at a Hebrew School on West North Avenue and owned a chocolate shop downtown, when he decided to purchase the New Theatre as a real estate investment. The New Theatre's "box-office bonanza" success during a showing of "Sunny Side Up" encouraged him to stick with the theatre business for the rest of his life, owning dozens of theaters over the years before his death of a heart attack in July 1966.
The interior of the Centre Theatre featured a mural symbolizing entertainment and captioned, "Man works by day; night is for romance." by R. McGill Mackall, a MICA-trained Baltimore native who painted 53 large public murals in the city over his career. The design by Philadelphia architect Armand Carroll, described by the Sun as "conservatively modern" with decoration "intended to soothe rather than startle the spectator," won an award for "architectural attainment" from the Baltimore Association of Commerce as the best "Retail Commercial Building" built in 1939. When the theatre opened, Mechanic had an office on the second floor with a window "fitted with special glass... invisible from the theatre, the window permits anyone in the office to see the picture on the screen."
Morris Mechanic closed the theatre, later known as the Film Centre Theatre, on April 16, 1959, after the Equitable Trust Company announced plans to enlarge the complex and move their operations department into the building early in 1960. The bank planned to add a third story and "special dust-free areas... to create the exact atmospheric conditions required for the most efficient use of highly sensitive automated electronic equipment." One example offered for this new equipment included a $55,000 sorting machine that sorted checks and other documents at a rate of 1,000 a minute guided by "magnetic ink" rather than "the familiar punch card holes." The radio station and the bank remained through the 1990s, later purchased by a church and over the past few years has deteriorated significantly.
The building has a new future ahead after it was purchased by local non-profit developer Jubilee Baltimore with support from MICA and the American Communities Trust. The building will be restored and re-used as a for film screenings, music, artists' studios, galleries, a playhouse and more.

The mind of Nicki Minaj must be a confused and frightening place. Mostly confused, but still very frightening. I picture a basic brain stem, a cerebellum, and an amalgam of fake eyelashes, eye shadow, and ass.
That's not to say that she doesn't have talent. Minaj can spit some fire, and she shows off her talent on "Stupid Hoe" with lines like "'Cause I pull up and I'm stuntin' but I ain't a stuntman / Yes I'm rockin' Jordans but I ain't a jumpman." However, the profound weirdness of the video distracts from the track itself. "Stupid Hoe" isn't strange in a "Oh-look-at-how-much-personality-she-has-hahaha" kind of way—just in the good old-fashioned, "Good-Lord-what-am-I-watching" kind of way.
It is hard to evaluate the thematic elements of the video for "Stupid Hoe" because it is hard to identify any thematic elements at all. The video feels like Minaj strolled through the FAO Schwarz of hip-hop music video tropes and grabbed whatever toys were the loudest and most immediately indicative of her aggressive and vibrantly colorful style. As a result, "Stupid Hoe" is filled with pink sports cars, war-paint application of neon makeup, and wild beehive hair.
Buried amongst the liberal and boisterous displays of Minaj's persona are several obvious references to other female pop artists. She morphs into a leopard while cavorting about inside a cage, à la Shakira in "She Wolf." There are also a few frames in which Minaj possesses grotesquely enlarged eyes, like Lady Gaga in "Bad Romance." Unfortunately, both references serve only to highlight deficiencies of "Stupid Hoe." Shakira is alarmingly sexy in her video, whereas Minaj is just plain alarming. "Bad Romance" was a triumph of choreography and artistic vision; "Stupid Hoe" is a mess of jump cuts and misguided attempts to be edgy.
While Minaj's image is largely based on quirkiness, she overextends herself in this latest video. The track itself is a throwback to her earlier work, with snappy one-liners and disses whizzing about every which way. Unfortunately, in trying to emulate that high energy, the video ends up feeling disjointed and a bit disturbing. To Minaj's credit, however, it takes real talent to make so much ass look so un-sexy.

JCF launches school competition aimed at behaviour modification
The Jamaica Constabulary Force, through its Community Safety and Security Branch, recently launched The Safest School Competition, aimed at behaviour modification in high schools across St Thomas.
The programme was launch out of concern that more than 300 students across the parish had been cautioned for violent and various anti-social behaviour issues each year since 2012.
Superintendent of Police for St Thomas, Merrick Watson, said the behaviour-modification programme for schools in the parish is one with a difference, as it is aimed at creating a positive impact among the students.
"It is anticipated that children in the programme will seek to make their school the safest. it (competition) will not only be judged on general safety, but a number of categories including fights, extortion, theft and offensive weapons, methods will be used that will capture information for judging through a phantom reporter going into schools, logging indecent, language, fights, bullying, vandalism, smoking and destruction of property," he said.
"The team with the least amount of incidents logged will be declared the winner," he added.
Meanwhile, in lauding the efforts of the police in the parish, Assistant Commissioner of Police Norman Heywood said the levels of violence in schools were not allowing teachers to teach, but rather to keep order.
He said the competition will seek to enhance the teaching and learning environment, along with beautification, that will be positive for all.
Motivational speaker from the Ministry of Youth and Culture, Miguel 'Steppa' Williams, urged the youngsters to 'pull up their socks', while avoiding gender discrimination. He bemoaned the reality that it was not degraded, but encouraged, when a seven-year-old boy was seen gyrating on a woman at a dance, but it would have been considered offensive had a girl did the same.
"Such gender bias needs to change," Steppa said. "As people, we need to recognise when we are doing wrong, in all aspects."
The competition was designed and initiated by Sergeant Omar Marthluck, sub-officer of the St Thomas Community Safety and Security Branch.
The schools participating in the competition include St Thomas Technical High, Yallahs High, Seaforth High, Robert Lightbourne High, Paul Bogle High and Morant Bay High, from which representatives signed a document of commitment to the competition.

Supon Phornirunlit is the brains behind Naked Décor, a vibrant, fabulously fun collection of throw pillows, trays, clocks, lamps, ornaments, animal head wall mounts and other funky home decor. Born in Thailand, Supon came to the US to further his education – and liked it so much that he decided to stay. It's a decision that's definitely worked for him: his Supon Design Group won over 1,000 design awards in under 10 years, and his first collection of Naked Décor throw pillows – called Live Like A Queen – sold out repeatedly in 2007, the first year of production. Supon's range has expanded to encompass themes like the British Invasion, vintage flair, and an all-dog wall art collection, Pooch Decor, founded after the death of his beloved pup, Pica. Doxie the dachshund is a particular favorite on pillows, but for your walls you'll find all sorts of canine friends – pugs, Dalmatians, German shepherds and more – just waiting to bring a little friendliness (and flair!) into your home.
Lighting, throw pillows, ultraluxe accents, candles, cashmere throws — we've assembled an inspired selection of some of our favorite gifts; designed to delight virtually everyone on your list.
Needlepoint is back ... but, this time around, it's not exactly your grandmother's pillow. The old-fashioned technique has been given new life — and is having a very-2015 moment — thanks to bright colors, cheeky motifs, and luxe fabrics. Case in point: these ebullient throw pillows. Part homespun and part hipster, these vibrant, humor-laden designs — modern takes on an old-fashioned technique — will amp up your space and give it plenty of personality (and more than a little panache).

Laxmi was attacked with acid by three men near Tughlaq road in New Delhi as she had refused to marry one of them. The Supreme Court directed States and Union Territories to frame rules to regulate sale of acids and other corrosive substances within three months and make acid attack a non-bailable offence. The court also directed that acid attack victims shall be paid a compensation of at least Rs. 3 lakh by the State Government concerned as an after-care and rehabilitation cost for such victims.

The Department of Homeland Security is authorizing illegal aliens to work in the United States, a Senate commitee learned October 19. According to CNSNews.com, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, got confirmation of this news in response to a question he asked Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano (photo at left).
In defending the policy, Napolitano also blurted out that it costs possibly three times as much as previously reported here and elsewhere to deport an illegal alien, and her answers to Grassley make clear that the Obama administration has unilaterally declared a major amnesty.
Questions and Answers
Grassley asked Napolitano point blank whether her agency is abetting illegals in their effort to build lives here, CNS reported.
The ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Grassley asked Napolitano: "According to the information from your department, some individuals who are given relief will obtain work authorizations. So people with no right to be in the country will be allowed to work here. Is that correct?" Napolitano said,

The people of Hutchinson County made a point to ensure that the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, will not be forgotten.
Close to 300 people were in attendance at a special 9/11 Memorial Service held Sunday afternoon in Huber Park.
The service was held in the area where a 9/11 monument, currently in the works, will be placed.
(Editor's Note: The following speech was given by Judge William D. Smith during a special 9/11 memorial service held Sunday afternoon at Huber Park.)
My friends, we gather here today to pay homage and tribute to those who are no longer with us but whose memory will long affect us.
We, like millions of other Americans, remember what we did and where we were 10 have not forgotten our feelings and emotions – sometimes of helplessness, of frustration, of forlorn, and of anger – as we watched planes crash, fires burn, buildings tumble and victims, along with brave rescuers, die.
Dr. Edward Quiros and his wife, Dr. Corazon P. Quiros of Borger, were just two of the many people who saw the attacks on September 11, 2001.
"Everything just stopped," Corazon said.
On 9/11, Dr. C.P. and her husband were in New York City where they were spending a few days to attend a re-certification review course for the American College of Surgeons Board.
"Our hotel was right beside Empire State Building," said Dr. C.P.
At the time that it happened, Dr. C.P. was waiting for her sister-in-law, who was coming from New Jersey.
Late Thursday night between the hours of 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on September 8, 2011, A female victim was walking on Union Street heading towards Keeler Heights addition. The female victim was at the bottom of the hill on Union Street, when a white male, wearing a mask, approached her and assaulted her from behind.
The honorary chairman for this year's HOPE event truly believes anything is possible when one has hope and God on their side.
Shana K. Richardson, who is holding the title this year, said that after two years of not feeling well and knowing something wasn't right, she finally went to the doctor with her symptoms.
"I went for a colonoscopy on Dec. 27, 2006. That was when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Colon/Rectal Cancer," she said. "I had numerous tests run and they found that the cancer was contained in one area."
With the tenth anniversary of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, quickly approaching, a memorial service to be held in Borger is in the works.
The service is being coordinated by the Borger Area Emergency Services Honor Guard with help from the Vietnam Veterans of America and the Borger Complex Honor Guard.
It will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011.
Bob Tiffany, who is a member of the Borger Area Emergency Services Honor Guard, said the service will be held at the site in Huber Park where the 9/11 memorial currently in the works will be constructed.
Patriotism is the theme for this year's Howdy Neighbor Day in Fritch.
The annual event is set to be held Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, in the Fritch City Park. A parade will kick off this year's activities. Beginning at 10 a.m., floats, decorated vehicles, golf carts, wagons, bicycles, cars, and tractors will proceed from the Fritch Post Office area down Broadway to the Fritch City Park.
The Borger City Council is set to hear the 2011-12 budget at its upcoming meeting.
The budget will be presented during the council's regular meeting at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011, in the city council chambers of Borger City Hall, 600 North Main.
The council will conduct a public hearing to allow for citizen comment on the proposed FY 2011-12 budget and consider the introduction of an ordinance making appropriations in support of the general operation of the City of Borger for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2011.
The work on Borger's new Subway is continuing to progress.
Frank Wingate, one of the operating partners of the restaurant, said all of the concrete work was finished as of Aug. 31.
The new location is being constructed on the corner of Opal and West Wilson, directly in front of the Holiday Inn Express.
468 cubic yards of concrete, 6.25 miles of rebar, and a total of 19,135 square feet of concrete were placed at the site.
Fall is growing closer and Lake Meredith National Recreation Area and Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument in Fritch announces a few enjoyable fall activities for the community.
Visitors can look forward to water activities, picnicking, hiking, and special events celebrating Texas Archeology Month.

Casey and Derek are the most annoying step-siblings on tv. They whine and complain about nonsense 98% of the time and they face no real problems other than falling down, landing on someones butt and being called klutzilla (that was really an episode). Other "problems" include Caseybeing made fun of byher school mates just because she cares about getting high grades and also Derek being teased caused he got held back in the first grade, okay i admit you have to be an idiot to repeat the first grade. But still this show was just weak, annoying, and repetitive. It should've stayed in Canada.

Review: Dark, edgy 'Collision' leads to violence
This undated theater image released by DARR Publicity shows, from left, Nick Lawson, Michael Cullen, James Kautz and Anna Stromberg, in a scene from "Collision" performing off-Broadway at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in New York. (AP photo/DARR Publicity, Russ Rowland)
NEW YORK (AP) — Apparently, some people can be easily persuaded to arm themselves and take aim at the world.
That's the premise of the edgy but disappointing "Collision," written by Lyle Kessler and directed by David Fofi, which opened Tuesday night in a world premiere by The Amoralists at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.
No compelling reason is presented onstage as to why this group of three unhappy college students, a jaded professor and an illegal gun dealer end up as Kessler has decided.
It's absolutely unclear why the students and professor would be compelled to Login to read more

Tackle Levi Jones was drafted 10th overall in 2002.
The Bengals' first-round draft pick and the future of Levi Jones appear to be very much intertwined.
With the team looking at taking a tackle with the sixth overall pick in next month's draft, Jones' status appears to be in doubt. If the Bengals were able to draft any of the four top offensive tackle prospects (Jason Smith, Eugene Monroe, Michael Oher and Andre Smith), Jones could be traded or released.
Jones is the most recent lineman the Bengals have taken in the first round. He was the 10th overall pick in 2002. ...
