* supporting Oasis
Cool more dates he can cancel.
Please just stay away from Phil.
At least he has good taste in Alice in Chains Songs to cover. That sounds good...
awesome! good shows at playhouse square in Cleveland are becoming rare
And you can count on him to actually show up for half of the shows too!!!!
Nice! Tweedy and Adams are the best modern-day songwriters...hands down. Too bad he's skipping Oregon this time around.
Ryan Adams = Hyped up and overrated
I adore Ryan. He's crazy, probably clinically. He's unpredictable. But he writes some of the greatest music out there these days. And now we've seen that he can make "Gold" whether he's on drugs or sober. Too bad he never comes to Omaha
I imagine JamBase and Relix actively pursue some artists and groups so that they can interview them and write articles for this site and the magazine in order to inform their readers about truly great musicians. I also imagine there are some really lackluster middle of the road acts that contact JamBase and Relix to feature an article on them so that they can get more exposure and possibly increase their fan base.... So now we turn to Ryan Adams and pose the above hypothesis.
That stage setup makes it look like they're part of a natural history museum exhibit. I've never seen Mr. Adams live, but I do think he's a superb songwriter. That's not counting his off- (and sometimes on-) stage antics.
Can't wait for the new album, but wish they were coming to Colorado for this tour . . .
"dont criticize what you cant understand". Ryan and the cardinals aint the be all to end all but i like what they do and take interest. With that said im lovin all the northeast dates, being that im from buffalo i will for sure be checkin them out in roch cha cha.
I don't know much about this guy, but all I can say is that he's supporting OASIS! Freaking "We're bigger than the Beatles" OASIS! Like I said, I'm not sure about his songwriting or singing ability, but his taste in music and fondness for cocky musicians SUCKS!
This is one band that when you but tickets to a show, you have 50/50 chance of actually seeing the concert. I am glad the festival scene has stayed away for Adams (not that he'd show up any way) because he has a total disregard for his fans, and band to fan apprecition is what festivals thrive on.
*From Adams
prove me wrong, but I believe he has been showing up to all of the shows since he has been clean. Although you cannot use drug abuse as an excuse to do a no-show. I recommend cold roses and easy tiger to new comers to his music. Also, check out his work with phil & friends on archive.org.
ill be in syracuse, maybe rochester. ive never heard him live, is he good?
The sad part of our culture is once someone's soundbite is written it stays that way regardless of how someone evolves. I was always on the fence with Ryan Adams until a couple years ago when he got his act together, solidified the Cardinals line-up and really put his shoulder into his music. This is, simply put, one of THE great live bands out there right now. I don't say that lightly but each time I see them I'm knocked back on my heels, and that's kept up for a couple years now. Psyched to see them at the Fillmore.
hey cosmic sailor, how often does ryan cancel these days? He's been pretty good in last year as far as i know. one of best live shows today as well.
That d-bag should come to moe.down and make up for flake'n out last year.
Hey Snappy, great comment!!! I am hot and cold on Ryan. Didn't care for him with Phil, but then again I don't care for most of Phil's line-ups (chasing shadows). I love the Grateful Dead, before the haters start in. If Ryan has cleaned up his act we should all back off. Give a guy a chance to get right.
snappy nailed it! well put from someone who obviousy looks objectively towards music. like many of the readers to this website i see a lot of live music (and yes mostly jambands)and i'm telling you go see Ryan live. he'll blow your mind with his intensity alone. granted he screws around and does rub his fans the wrong way at times and be a cry baby but as soon as the first note is hit his vocals and heart is in it! his studio albums are good but as in most cases his live shows are excellent and extremly different than studio cuts. if you havent seen him (which i imagine all the haters haven't) and your screaming because he didnt show one time many years ago, dont worry you werent out anything! oh and also for you haters, Ryan jams out also.....
Wells Said Snappy. Ryan Adams and The Cardinals are one of the most urgent bands on the scene today. Cannot wait for the WaMu show with Oasis. Fucking brilliant electric sheet. Best song writer out there right now. Period.
Nice post Snappy. Your my hero!
I here what your saying snappy, but let me remind you that he canceled at moe.down last year and another festival at stonehenge. I agree with what you say, and I even like his music, but it takes a while to change a reputation. Maybe he's on his way.
Granted he flaked on moe.down but Adams has been much more responsible in regards to shows than in the past. If some of the negative reviewers had actually bothered to find some of the recent Cardinals shows out there, they would know that Adams as a live act is possibly at an all time best. That he's finally playing some shows in Upstate NY is only a plus.
Like Trey Anastasio never backed out of a fest? So please don't give Ryan Adams to much shit about it. He has his shit together for once FANTASTIC!
"Ryan Adams to wed and produce album with Amy Winehouse" Associated Press
Ryan has been great lately...listen to any bootleg in the past few years.
The Cards are a kick A#$# rock band. I'm kinda glad he didn't play Moedown. He will show up to play with Phil at the Nokia like he did last year.
Ah…a bunch of whiners bitching about stuff that (A) you know nothing about and (B) don't matter a hill of beans.
And while all you numb nutz have been flaming each other, I doubt any of you bothered to go to his site.
Probably the oddest musician site I have ever seen.
As for skipping moedown, he probably sobered up, heard their stuff and said, "These guys fucking suck balls. I'm not going on a bill with them".
You kids need a big helping dish of get-over-it.
shonuff, I would also add Jacksonville City Nights as an entry into Ryan Adams material. Flake or not, sober or wasted, the guy is easily one of the most talented songwriters of the modern era. The first time I heard "A Kiss Before I Go" I thought I was listening to a classic Hank Williams tune. The song must have stayed in my mind for months. A veritable masterpiece.
honestly I do not mind listening to his albums, but he is such a whiner of a bitch!
trusmoka - Good try. Never been into the hippi-crack. You'll be at the disco bus solo, bro. Have fun!
Funny, I'm talking shit but you still went to his website. Glad a shit talker like me can still help you out :)
As for Ryan missing gigs, Radiohead just cancelled a gig because of sickness, but no one is going ape shit on York.
Seems like the Dead took off the last half of '86 because of Jerry's splendid health.
Then there was the cancellation of the '92 Veneta show. But you guys give him a pass?
Was that worse than propping him up night after night when he was barely able to make it through the second set? It sucks to back out on a show, but is that worse than going out on stage half ass?
Not looking to get a rise out of anyone, but how about a level playing field?
Personally, I don't like him all that much. Don't hate him either. I'm sure he's an excellent musician. However, the bs coming outta some of you guys about him being the 'greatest songwriter alive' is so ridiculous that I had to inject some common sense. He's OK. Quit overreacting and getting all protective of your favorite artist and just realize that he's simply OK. He's not a guitar legend. He's not singing with some unreal pipes. There's no slow boogie roll. He's not close to Dylan lyrically (and I meant Jakob). What's the big deal?
P.S. Worst received performance at the entire Telluride Bluegrass Fest. Can all those fun loving folks be wrong?
I love Ryan, but I'm still bitter he got kicked out of Phil & Friends before the first Vegoose, allowing Joan Osborne to weasel her way back in to ruin so many songs. Ryan owes any of us who were there. Sorry
pumped for the two shows. i have been a long time ryan adam shows and the new shows are alot different more focused since his been clean. And Cola21 loved your comment totally agree. hope hell come to omaha for ya.
New band ive been checking out killer songwriter if your into that stuff give it a listen. its some of the best song writing i think ive listened to in awhile, just thought i would share with fellow music lovers
I couldnt agree with kirkbrew more! Yeah- musicians are people and sometimes drugs get the best of them. At least he has made it back to a sober place and writes some beautiful music. May not be your thing...not hippie enough...not jammy enough...but great songwriting in my opinion. It sounds like a bunch of crybabies whining about a crybaby musician. At least you guys give me something to read and laugh about during my work day.
Best songwriter and band since the Grateful Dead IMO.
Similar vibe in the music. I'll be at every show I possibly can.
Also, the guy cracks his audience up more than almost anyone out there.
The other comments here are kinda funny too.
Say what you want about him, but Ryan Adams makes great music imo.
If you like live music these guys bring some serious tone. It's a stringed assault on your ears and mind. Great harmonies, musicianship and songwriting. Saw them at the Telluride Fest this summer and I'm hoping for more Southwest shows in the future. I too would recommend Cold Roses and then Easy Tiger as albums to check out. Oasis isn't my favorite (music for teenage girls), but if I was in Canada I'd be catching one of these shows. Adam's cover of Wonderwall is another to take a listen to. Peace.

Iona routs Rider 83-59 in MAAC semifinal
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP)—Jermel Jenkins scored 20 points, including six 3-pointers, and Iona routed Rider 83-59 on Sunday in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament semifinal.
Iona (22-10) rolls into Monday's conference championship game against Saint Peter's on a nine-game winning streak.
The Gaels led from start to finish but did not break the game open until the final 10 minutes. Leading by nine with 9:33 to play, Iona went on an 18-3 run to finish the game.
Dwight Rashon added 19 points and Mike Glover had 12 for the Gaels, who have held three of their past five opponents to fewer than 60 points.
Jenkins (6 of 10) and Rashon (5 of 7) helped the Gaels shoot 50 percent (14 of 28) from 3-point range. Rider hit only 7 of 21 shots from beyond the arc.
Novar Gadson scored 19 points and Justin Robinson had 16 for Rider (23-10), which saw its six-game winning streak snapped.

Chicago's Boystown Tops List Of World's Best Gay Neighborhoods
Its massive annual pride parade and Illinois' recent legalization of marriage equality edged Boystown above LGBT enclaves in San Francisco and New York, according to readers of Out Traveler.
Chicago's Boystown neighborhood was named Out Traveler's 2013 "Incomparable Gay Neighborhood" Wednesday, placing above several other popular LGBT enclaves around the world in a poll conducted by the publication's readers.
The city's massive annual pride parade — which attracted over 1 million people to the neighborhood in 2013 — and the legalization of a marriage equality bill last fall were among several factors readers considered when naming Boystown the best, according to Out Traveler.
"Chicago's Boystown, centered around Halsted Street, was the nation's first officially-recognized gay village in the U.S. and is the home to a large Pride celebration, as well as Market Days, an unrivaled August street party," editors wrote. "The neighborhood has everything you could want: bars, clubs, restaurants, architecture, walkability, its own El stop, and now marriage equality (Illinois legalized same-sex unions in 2012)."
San Francisco's Mission neighborhood came in second among the neighborhoods nominated by Out Traveler editors, including Los Angeles' Boystown and similar enclaves in Barcelona and Madrid.
Located on the city's North Side, Boystown's informal boundaries are Irving Park Road on the north, Broadway on the east, Wellington Avenue on the south, and Sheffield Avenue on the west — ultimately overlapping with the Lakeview East neighborhood. It is a cultural and entertainment hub for one of the nation's largest LGBT populations and is home to Center on Halsted, the largest LGBT community center in the Midwest.
The neighborhood also hosts massive street festivals such as Pride Fest and Northalsted Market Days, which also attract thousands of attendees.

Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) made significant news recently with the resigning of new CEO right at the closing of the merger with Progress Energy. The news was mind blowing considering the deal with shareholders, regulators, and consumers was that Bill Johnson from Progress Energy would run both companies with former Duke Energy CEO Jim Rodgers moving up to Chairman.
How does this impact the stock? Outside of political and regulatory noise, it shouldn't honestly have a huge impact. Utilities are complex businesses, but it only takes a solid operator to run them. Jim Rodgers will have no problem running the merged entity. In fact, Jim Cramer remained bullish on the stock especially considering the stock price drop.
2012 Post Merger Earnings Guidance
The bigger concern should be the lack of earnings growth and limited growth in the future. The combination created the country's largest utility as measured by enterprise value, market capitalization, generation assets, customers and numerous other criteria.
If that doesn't speak of industry low growth, not sure what else would.
The combined companies should be able to wring out overlapping costs, but the stock already trades at a rich valuation to the 2012 guidance of $4.20 to $4.35. At $66, Duke trades close to 15x the expected numbers for 2013.
Dividend Yield
In general the stock isn't that appealing as the 4.6% dividend yield is relatively low for a company expecting limited 4 to 6% earnings growth mostly coming from cost savings.
The sector as well isn't that exciting though several stocks offer either higher dividend yields or faster growth that would be more attractive over Duke. The below figure has a list of dividend yields over the last year.
AEP Dividend Yield data by YCharts
Worth noting is that the typical yield in the sector has trended down over the last year from closer to 5% to the current 4.5%.
While investors are getting a better yield on these utility stocks than Treasuries, the general populace has become too complacent on the sector after strong total returns recently. These aren't risk free investments after all.
Considering the extra risks and scrutiny in Duke Energy right now and the inevitable slower growth of being the largest utility, investors will be better served in American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP), Entergy (NYSE:ETR), FirstEnergy (NYSE:FE), or Southern Company (NYSE:SO).

@Darkwalknight: if by "slightly less than Jorge" you mean 13 kilos, then yes. Lorenzo weights 65, Pedrosa 52. Compare Pedrosa's 52 with Simoncelli's 72 and tell me they can get the same out of their bikes: no way. Sic needs to downtune his engine more than Pedrosa to take the bike to the checked flag. Also, and because of Pedrosa, the Honda is the smaller bike of the grid, which further plays against Sic because he is 23 centimeters taller than Dani. No matter how you look at it, Simoncelli has a point here.

CPG is a good one. The dividend is sustainable. As long as the dividend is sustainable CPG won't yield more than 8%, the market won't allow it, which leaves strong support around 35$. If market sentiment ever changes for Canadian oil and gas then CPG will be well positioned for some earnings growth. Enjoy the 7.5% divy while you wait. Descending tops are certainly a worry, but there are plenty of buyers.
As a side note, I think CPG is an excellent hedge against the ever building tensions in the Middle East. We all know about Syria, but Iraq is on fire again and Lebanon is on the cusp of being drawn into another Civil War. Iran and Turkey are seeing record protest turnouts and Israel is ready to strike Russian made and delivered S-300 missile systems. If tensions in the ME continue to escalate it will further support the price of oil. If things deteriorate, Canadian oil starts looking a whole lot more attractive. IMHO

Chuck Norris smokes marijuana debate
Sucker-punches argument that it's 'no more dangerous than alcohol'
Mr. Norris, with Washington and Colorado recently legalizing pot smoking and their football teams (Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos) being in the Super Bowl, some have asked whether there is going to be added marijuana use during this year's Super Bowl. And President Barack Obama recently said that he doesn't think marijuana is as dangerous as alcohol. What do you think, Chuck? Is it? – "Trying to Make Sense of Sensimilla" in Seattle
I understand the arguments for the legalization of marijuana: It can generate tax revenue. It can reduce illegal supply and demand. It can strip power from cartels and lessen crime across and at our borders. And it isn't so dangerous as other illegal drugs or alcohol.
You're right; President Obama even claimed one of those arguments when he recently told New Yorker Editor David Remnick, "As has been well-documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life."
Obama explained, "(Smoking marijuana is) not something I encourage, and I've told my daughters I think it's a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy." But then he added, "I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol."
With the president entering the cannabis conversation ring, debate has intensified around the nation. But what's the truth in the alcohol-vs.-marijuana dispute?
This past week, CNN reported on some extensive studies and evidence surrounding the topic, especially in comparing use, addiction, withdrawal and the effects on using motorized vehicles.

Angie'sList or Angie'sBust? You Decide!
Message Sent To Angie'sList On January 23, 2014:
I'm looking at a contractor I reviewed (poorly) a few months ago, Terravest Custom Homes, yet my MEMBER review does not appear while two "A" reviews from 2012 do! This is not the first time this has happened and is telling about the honesty and/or accuracy of the service I am paying you for. You can read more about my concerns with Angie's List onwww.InstitutionalTerrorism.com.
I have had nothing but trouble with Angie'sList since day one. I gave up a previous account in Kansas City due to their underhanded techniques and favorable treatment of the contractors and service-providers they are supposed to provide "objective and unbiased" reviews of.
I found that my negative Angie'sList reviews were magically not appearing on the pages of companies with "apparently" PERFECT RATINGS. I also filed a dispute with Angie's List against Ryan lawn and Tree (Kansas City, MO) after my home was damaged to the tune of nearly $1,000 by squirrels Ryan's inadequate tree-triming failed to alleviate as promised. Ryan failed to trim trees and in one case trimmed a healthy tree that was not part of the estimate, causing damage to the tree.
As is the case with all Angie'sList reviews, IF A NEGATIVE REVIEW APPEARS AT ALL, the contractor/service-provider always has the final say and, as was the case with both Ryan and Terravest, they lied through their teeth, leaving readers with a false impression that the consumer, me, was wrong.
The only reason I paid for an Angie'sList subscription after moving to Lawrence, Kansas was because of the unethical contractor, Terravest Custom Homes, and so I could submit an unbiased review to help other consumers avoid wasting time and money as I had done. In the end, the two times I logged-in and checked the review in question, it was not posted and did not figure into the grade as was the case in the video recorded today and presented here.

November 30, 2015
Starting Monday young drivers will no longer be allowed to talk on cell phones while behind the wheel. The law is one of a more than a dozen new laws that go into effect Monday in Colorado. The law applies to young drivers who hold restricted driver's licenses which means they have to have an adult drive with them for a year. It's just one of the steps Colorado and other states are taking in hopes of promoting safety while driving.

This review is from: Wine Enthusiast 272 03 32 32-Bottle Silent 32 Bottle Dual Zone Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator Black
Pros: This wine cooler holds 32 bottles with a small foot print.
Cons: After reading so many reviews complaining that the cooler arrives with the door detached and the wire severed, I thought it was old news and it wouldn't happen to me, but it did. The wire was not severed and it was fairly easy to reattached the door.

Wine Refrigerator Works Well
This review is from: Wine Enthusiast 272 03 32 32-Bottle Silent 32 Bottle Dual Zone Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator Black
Pros: Works as advertised. It arrived promptly and extremely well packaged, well protected. If power is lost, it will restart again, although the default is the lowest temperature setting. Capacity is as claimed, 32 bottles of various wine types fit with no problem.
Cons: It would be nice if, upon restart due to power loss, it would reset to the previous temperature settings.

Advanced Haircolor Tips
Tricks for Different Hair Lengths
Weve discussed haircolor tips for
different hair textures and wave patterns
, and dealt with the needs of various
hair density levels
when trying to color the hair, but these arent the only factors that govern what type of haircoloring will look best or how the haircolor processing will work. Hair length can be a major player in any haircolor process for a number of reasons. But for simplicitys sake, lets look at all-over color and special-effects coloring separately.
All-Over Haircolor
First, the length of the hair can affect the processing time of all-over haircolor for very practical reasons. Long hair can present a challenge to get even color processing since the ends of the hair can be more
than the portions of the hair nearer to the scalp and absorb the color more quickly allowing for faster development of the color. On the other hand, the portions at the scalp can process more rapidly as well because of the warmth of the scalp. This leaves the middle lengths as the portion of the hair that takes longest to process. If not compensated for, the results can be haircolor that is darker
(or brighter) at the scalp and ends and less-so in the middle giving an uneven result.
To compensate for this, when coloring long hair, you should apply the haircolor to the hair starting about 2 inches from the scalp, and stopping about a third of the way from the end. Once the middle lengths are covered, go back over the head and apply the color to the scalp (giving the mid-sections about 10 minutes head start to process) and to the ends. This should help to ensure an even color result.
As mentioned in the above paragraphs, short hair presents an issue in haircolor processing because very short lengths mean the hair is going to rest against the scalp, which can dramatically speed processing times, which is significant when using high-lift color or a
bleaching process
. You want to make certain that all the hair lays flat against the scalp, when the color mix is applied, so that the temperature remains consistent. You generally want to wrap the hair in plastic or use a cap.
Otherwise, if the hair is plied with color mix, and is standing away from the scalp as it processes, the ends of the hair will be cooler than the portions at the scalp, and will process more slowly. This means the end result could be hair that is brighter (or darker) at the scalp than at the ends. It also means that in a lightening process, by the time the ends of the hair are properly lightened, the hair at the scalp could be over-processed and damaged.
Special Effects Color Techniques
When doing special effects coloring, such as highlighting and low-lighting, the length of the hair is once again an important consideration. There are specific techniques that are best suited to certain lengths of the hair, or layered versus blunt styles. The variations on these techniques are too numerous to make a comprehensive listing here, but there are some basics that can be adapted and should be mentioned.
Burnishing the Hair
When you want to add a hint of color to really short hair styles, most of the traditional effects techniques are unsuitable. When the hair drops below a certain length, the
use of foils
, or
highlighting caps
is impractical, and yet, even those who prefer shorter hair would be served well by the application of color in some measure. Thats were a technique called burnishing comes in handy.
The dry, short hair is combed so that the hairs stand as straight as possible (perhaps blow-dried to create the desired configuration). Next, a haircolor mixture (or bleaching mix) is made and painted onto a sheet of foil or waxed paper. The paper is then held so that the mixture-painted side can be rubbed along the tips of the hair in a back and forth motion. In many ways, the way you would buff a pair of shoes being shined. The mix is allowed to process and the color results in a halo effect. The technique is great for giving a sun-kissed look to the hair, or to add a glow of color to the overall look of the hair.
Peek-a-boo Panels
When looking to add color effects to long, blunt-cut hairstyles, one option that can be useful is peek-a-boo panels of lightened hair or bold color. When the hair is styled to hang down normally, the color panels are unnoticeable and may simply peek from beneath the surface as the hair moves.
The benefits of this is that the hair can be worn in a conservative fashion where appropriate, and still allow for styling to reveal the individuality that is desired. The technique involves taking the hair and lifting the upper layers and securing them out of the way. Then panels are isolated in the lower sections of the hair and plied with the desired color mix. Once processed, the result is panels of color that are concealed between layers of unaltered hair.

Rear bumper
Need a price on a rear bumper with exhaust cut outs, primed also would like price on rear rubber hangers for the exhaust on left side. Going to add duals to my Outdoorsman. Thanks for the help
Assuming you do not have rear park sensors the part number is 68049779AB which requires paint.
Part number on the 2 hole (1-upper, 1-lower) exhaust hanger is 52103717AB
There is also a 3 hole hanger which I believe may be for the muffler and that is part number 52103718AB in case you need it.
Please let me know if you need anything else

HSI arrests 638 gang members during month-long operation
Photos and B-roll of Project Southbound are available on DVIDS.
WASHINGTON — More than 600 gang members and associates from 145 different gangs were arrested in 179 cities across the U.S. during Project Southbound, a month-long operation executed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which targeted gangs affiliated with the Sureños.
The Sureños, also known as Sur 13, is a transnational criminal street gang that originated in Southern California with hundreds of cliques around the United States. The Sureños and their affiliates pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia and the number "13" is their symbol signifying "M" in the alphabet for Mexican Mafia. Membership and cliques associated with the Sureños are expanding faster than any other national-level gang in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Justice's National Gang Intelligence Center's 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. Sureños gang members are involved in a myriad of criminal activity, including murder, extortion, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution and other crimes with a nexus to the border.
Through Project Southbound, which ran March 12 to April 13, HSI special agents worked with 150 federal, state and local law enforcement partners to apprehend individuals from various gangs affiliated with the Sureños. More than 73 percent of those arrested during this HSI National Gang Unit-led operation were members or associates of the Sureños.
In addition to the 638 gang members and associates, HSI agents also arrested – or assisted in the arrest of – 119 other individuals on federal and/or state criminal violations and administrative immigration violations, for a total of 757 arrests.
"Project Southbound is the largest-ever ICE operation targeting the Sureños gang," said ICE Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Thomas S. Winkowski. "This gang now has more than 30,000 members in the United States and its numbers are growing. Targeting transnational gangs like the Sureños is a top priority for ICE and we will continue to disrupt and dismantle the violence and criminal activities that they inflict upon our neighborhoods."
Of the 638 gang members or associates arrested: 525 were charged with criminal offenses; 113 were arrested administratively for immigration violations; 414 had violent criminal histories, including seven individuals wanted for murder and five wanted for rape or sexual assault; and 256 were foreign nationals.
Among the Sureños gang members or associates arrested during Project Southbound were:
- Cesar Lisandro Anaya, 27, an El Salvadoran national and an 18th Street gang member, arrested in Dallas, Texas, on immigration-related charges. He is wanted in El Salvador on felony warrants for aggravated homicide, extortion, and illicit groupings (gang activity).
- Nine MS-13 gang members arrested on RICO charges filed in the District of Maryland stemming from their involvement in multiple criminal acts including murder, assault, extortion and prostitution, in furtherance of MS-13.
- Richard Allen Cotinola, a U.S. citizen and Brewtown Locos gang member, arrested in New Mexico on an outstanding state warrant for violation of parole related to a previous conviction for aggravated burglary with a weapon. He has previous convictions for aggravated burglary with a weapon and armed robbery.
- A father and son arrested in San Francisco on state narcotics and firearms charges following the execution of state search warrants on the father's property. The father, a Sureños gang associate and previously deported aggravated felon, accused of supplying large quantities of high-quality, commercially-grown marijuana to Sureños and Latin Kings gang members. During these arrests, HSI agents seized 4,669 marijuana plants, 25 pounds of processed marijuana, an AR-15 rifle, a stolen Glock handgun, four diesel generators, four vehicles and $85,635 in cash.
Those arrested during Project Southbound came from 21 countries in South and Central America, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Of the total 757 arrested, 678 were males and 79 were females.
HSI special agents also seized 54 firearms, 13.36 pounds of methamphetamine, 82.76 pounds of marijuana, 3.075 pounds of cocaine, 1.44 pounds of heroin, more than $166,000 in U.S currency and 10 vehicles during Project Southbound.
ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Baltimore and Los Angeles also assisted with this operation.
This enforcement operation is part of HSI's Operation Community Shield a global initiative, in which HSI partners with existing federal, state and local anti-gang efforts to identify violent street gangs and develop intelligence on gang members and associates, gang criminal activities and international movements to arrest, prosecute, imprison and/or deport transnational gang members. HSI's National Gang Unit deters, disrupts and dismantles gang operations by tracing and seizing cash, weapons and other assets derived from criminal activities.
Since the inception of Operation Community Shield in February 2005, HSI special agents working in conjunction with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the nation have arrested more than 33,000 street gang members and associates linked to more than 2,600 different gangs. At least 43 percent of those arrested had a violent criminal history. More than 438 of those arrested were gang leaders, and more than 4,500 were MS-13 gang members or associates. Through this initiative, HSI has seized more than 5,615 firearms nationally.
The National Gang Unit within HSI identifies violent street gangs and develops intelligence on their membership, associates, criminal activities and international movements to deter, disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal gang operations by tracing and seizing cash, weapons and other assets derived from illicit activities.

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Yet a closer inspection at the data reveals less than half of these cloud projects involve production...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken.

Used Game Fees For All?
One of the major points taken from the Xbox One reveal is how the console will handle used games. Although conflicting stories have surfaced, the most prominent rumor is that a user who attempts to play a used disc will have to pay a "fee". This "fee" may or may not be equal to the retail price of the game. If this is true, it will likely be the same on the PS4 as well. Here's why I believe it:
1) If this "fee" applies only to MS published games, it would be far less of an issue than it's being reported as. After all, exclusive games account for less than 10% of total games this generation - next generation will likely be even less.
2) If the "fee" is for all (or most) games (including third party games), it will almost certainly be applied to PS4 games as well. After all, if Activision, EA (or any other publisher) is going to collect a "fee" anytime an Xbox One user installs a pre-owned game, what reason would they have for allowing a PS4 owner to play the exact same used game for free? While some may make the argument that MS makes people pay for what's free elsewhere (Xbox Live), the used game fee would be a publisher revenue, not MS. This would be an entirely different model than Xbox Live, as publishers don't get any of the Xbox Live subscription money.
Who would collect the used game "fee"? If it's an EA game, it's obvious that EA would. After all, they could argue that it's their lost sale. Used game fees for third party games can't be considered an MS revenue stream, because MS would have no claim to attempt to collect a fee for a game that they didn't publish.
Used game fees are clearly publisher driven, as MS or Sony would have little to gain from them (unless the game in question is one of their own exclusives). Therefore, it's only logical that the exact same games will have the exact same policies regardless of what platform they are played on.
There's simply no reason to collect a used game fee on one console but not on another. Any publisher who does that will potentially be sabotaging themselves, as well as the console maker.
Sony has already announced that the PS4 will not block used games, but the fee model would allow that statement to remain true. Unfortunately, it's looking like next generation will be a lot more expensive for consumers.
Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison already confirmed used fees in an interview with Kotaku.
I will wait to see if Sony does it. Their only official statement (or was it a rumor) is that they won't require always-online, but they will leave it up to 3rd party devs.
"What does this have to do with used game fees?" Pay attention, friend. The online requirement is how these used fees will be enforced.
My hunch is that some third-party games on PS4 (like EA games and probably Activision games) will have "used game passes" while Sony exclusives and certain partners do not require it. The big question is whether or not games will fully install on the Ps4. People aren't connecting the dots but the full-game installs is why this "used game fee" is in effect. If PS4 requires the disc to be in the drive, then I do not expect "used game fees" to be enforced as heavily, if at all.
If all else fails, I'll find another hobby or just stick to older video game consoles until such a model ceases.
The PS4 is looking like the last bastion for core gamers. I love Sony and what they've done for the industry, but if they allow publishers to be little shits and ruin the hobby I love, I'll be forced to only game on the pc.
I hope we get some answers at E3

""It's a massively important issue and I understand why it's one that keeps coming up and will keep coming up, because people want to know what the exact stance is," Denny said.
"In relation to points like that, of course we're mindful of what the game development community wants and what the wider industry issues are with those things. I think in good time that will become clearer," he added.
Denny did not provide a simple yes or no answer, but said Sony will do right by developers and consumers alike.
"It's not something that I feel I have any further announcement or comment to make on, other than to acknowledge with you that it's a massively important issue and of course we are going to do the right thing," he said.
Sony president of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida last week confirmed that used games will play on the PlayStation 4. However, it was not made clear if users would have full access to secondhand titles or if they would need to pay to activate the game as a second owner.
"When you purchase the disc-based games on PS4, it should work on any hardware. So that's what I'm saying," Yoshida said at the time."

The 27-year-old is the first Asian player to ply his trade in the South African top-flight having joined from Home United in Singapore, and adds to coach Steve Komphelaâs front-line options for the new season.
Stars fans got a first sight of Murakami in Saturdayâs Telkom Charity Cup at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace and he did not disappoint, providing a clinical finish to Dillon Sheppardâs pass in the Final against Orlando Pirates.
Komphela is delighted with his capture, who stood out immediately after his arrival in the country two weeks ago.
âI have really been impressed by him,â the coach says. âHe has played in the J-League in Japan and played in Brazil. He really is a good player and I wanted to sign him as I know he will be an asset to Stars.â
Murakami is no stranger to success on the football field. Before he joined Home United he played for Singapore Armed Forces, who won consecutive League and Cup âDoublesâ in 2007 and 2008.
Stars managing director Ian Riddick believes the capture of Murakami shows the ambition of the club this season.
âI think it shows that we will cast our net far and wide to bring in the right players for the coach,â Riddick says. âWe are always looking to improve the quality of the squad and if Steve Komphela recommends we sign a certain player, we will do our utmost to bring them on board.â
Murakami could make his competitive debut for Stars in their opening Absa Premiership encounter with Jomo Cosmos at the Rand Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 15h00).

The Flagler Home Builders Association, the voice of the construction industry in Flagler County, added 42 new members during a recent two-day statewide membership drive. The association finished second in the state with a 25% increase in membership.
Flagler HBA members themselves were tasked with recruiting the new members. The goal of the membership drive – dubbed WE BUILT THIS CITY – was to further strengthen an already steadfast association.
Charles Rinek, 2010 president, marveled at the success of the membership drive saying "adding 42 new members when our industry is going through such tough times shows the strength of the HBA and the work it does day in and day out for our members."
Some of the benefits of a Flagler HBA membership include: legislative representation in Washington, DC, Tallahassee and locally; networking databases and meetings; e-newsletter;
The Flagler Home Builders Association has been serving the community and the local building industry for 27 years with business resources, networking opportunities, effective local representation and community outreach.
