New Jersey Terrorism Suspects Negotiating Guilty Pleas
Two New Jersey men accused of conspiring to kill, maim and kidnap people outside the U.S. by joining a Somali terrorist group are negotiating guilty pleas that would avert a trial, court records show.
Mohamed Alessa, 21, and Carlos Almonte, 24, had their case continued because "plea negotiations are currently in progress," according to an order signed Oct. 13 by U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo in federal court in Newark, New Jersey. The men face life in prison if convicted.
David Holman, a lawyer for Alessa, and Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, declined to comment. James Patton, a lawyer for Almonte, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
The suspects have been in custody since their June 5 arrest at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, where they tried to fly to Egypt on their way to join the Islamic Al-Shabaab movement in Somalia, prosecutors said.
An undercover police officer who spoke Arabic recorded the men discussing and preparing for violent jihad overseas, prosecutors said. Alessa and Almonte made an initial appearance before Arleo on June 7, when prosecutors urged their detention.
At a June 10 hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Kogan said the men are accused of a violent crime and that the evidence is strong and includes recorded conversations. He noted that they were arrested at the airport. Alessa lived in North Bergen and Almonte lived in Elmwood Park at the time of their arrests.
Dual Citizen
In denying bail, Arleo said that Alessa is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Jordan, where he has made repeated trips. Almonte is a dual citizen of the U.S. and the Dominican Republic, which he also has visited, and has a criminal history that includes assault charges, the judge said.
The undercover officer met the two men in November and recorded them speaking of holy war, according to a complaint by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"My soul cannot rest until I shed blood," Alessa told Almonte and the undercover agent, according to the complaint. "I wanna, like, be the world's known terrorist."
Alessa said, "They only fear you when you have a gun and when you -- when you start killing them, and when you -- when you take their head, and you go like this, and you behead it on camera," according to the complaint. "We'll start doing killing here, if I can't do it over there."
The complaint paraphrased Almonte, speaking in April, as saying "there would soon be American troops in Somalia, which was good because it would not be fun to kill only Africans."
The suspects played video games and listened to recordings promoting violent jihadist attacks, according to the complaint. In February 2007, the two men flew to Jordan and tried to sign on as mujahedeen fighters, the FBI said.
The men worked out in gyms, played paintball, engaged in tactical training, and acquired military gear such as Russian-made night-vision binoculars, according to the FBI.

DeepwaterIce8/25/2009 9:58:32 PM PermalinkThe Platform does not Float? Oh, no. In all seriousness, I thought that to be a excellent aspect to Midship. Bouncing to other parts of the map, either one on one for speed, or for tactical superiority in team games (was awesome) is awesome. As a Halo Fan, and in my opinion, I will miss this...especially after all the sweet time thinking about it. I would Love you if you could make it a forge object, and you could change how taught the platform is. Just saying... [Edited on 08.25.2009 2:01 PM PDT]
Vokes8/25/2009 8:09:44 PM PermalinkI just noticed how great the overall color and contrast is for this map. The detail in the bases, on the walls, etc. is just fantastic. I like how it's slightly more gloomy and dark, which is where the contrast kicks in on all the objects and structures. Although it is literally the same as Midship, it's clearly better by the looks.
Hoolio G8/25/2009 7:06:22 PM PermalinkFor anyone that read "Ghosts of Onyx" I think this level is when a Covenant armada shows up near Onyx.
XMixMasterX8/25/2009 3:11:46 PM PermalinkMmmm... Midship. Nothing like disconcerting memories of oddball and an ex-girlfriend.
senseibjn8/25/2009 11:51:25 AM Permalinkok finally bungie get the picture - they got it right first time in H2 why change it, apart from the static platform they had to do something...sigh. oh well its an improvement i can see for the future. it looks nice. good job! no suck up intended trust me bungie staff are my number 3 on my alltime most hated. and im glad theres another big map. what is with that. this one better be good because so far h3=no good big maps! GL bungie life on a thread
Lady Owl8/25/2009 6:15:21 AM PermalinkThis map looks so gorgeous... I wish we had seen more Covenant structures like this. The colors and design are stunning. Because it was assumed the Pious Inquisitor was part of the fleet of the First Battle of Earth and because it is luxurious, people assumed it was Regret's ship. I wish someone would have confirmed that in this update. :(

The movie works like a clock. A few minor quibbles aside (the casting of Hitler, for instance), Valkyrie is a highly intelligent and deeply engrossing historical drama and, frame for frame, the year's most suspenseful nail-biter.
The film is a minor Christmas miracle: It succeeds on its own terms, despite the gossip hounds' best blood-sniffing efforts, and dares to be an entertainment rather than a statement.
The mechanics of the actual plot are pretty amazing. Singer has assembled a top-notch international cast.
Valkyrie, despite being a more straightforward thriller, is less gripping than "Downfall," the most recent film in which Hitler had significant screen time.
The result is a fairly co-ordinated effort that, despite a few miscues, yields a consistently watchable film.
Singer has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending.
Has visual splendor galore, but is a cold work lacking in the requisite tension and suspense.
Valkyrie just misses out on being a great film (it's no Black Book), but it easily merits mention as a good one.
Once Singer dispenses with the introductory pathos and gets to the nuts and bolts of Stauffenberg's plan, Valkyrie becomes an admirably modest and compact suspense thriller.
A perfectly acceptable motion picture. The only thing that keeps it from even greater accomplishments may be inherent in the story itself.
As a suspense movie, this works pretty well: director Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) maintains a crisp pace as the plotters set out to kill the fuhrer with a briefcase bomb, and the historical details of the botched coup, which exploited one of Hitler's own contingency plans to mobilize the army reserves and disarm the SS, are inherently interesting.
A brutally efficient bit of storytelling, and it makes no unforced errors. It is admirably free of any Spielbergian effort to squeeze sentimentality or inspirational lessons out of what is a complicated and morally complex story.
Once the plotters plunge into action, though, Valkyrie becomes both an exciting thriller and a useful history lesson.
Tom Cruise starring in the fact-based story of a plot to kill Hitler by Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg sounds like Oscar bait. It isn't. And the sooner you accept it, the more fun you'll have at this satisfying B movie.
It's a procedural, often absorbing, rarely surprising, about a briefcase bomb and a near-miss. Yet there's no question the film feels dodgy and vague when it comes to the personalities and ideology of the men onscreen.
It's a smooth, compelling, almost suspenseful (more on that in a bit), and slightly hollow Hollywood period piece.
Marketed as a combination of a popcorn-munching actioner, but that's somewhat misleading -- it's also a well-researched historical thriller. Unfortunately, it ends up not succeeding as either.
A film more concerned with 'how' than 'why' or 'who', Valkyrie would have benefited from more scrutiny and complexity. Still, once the bomb goes off, the thrills come in spades.
The film improves once the assassination attempt goes awry, but the audience is never truly invested in the actions of these heroic men.
Valkyrie feels like another installment in the never-ending franchise -- not just the action-movie one, but the Tom Cruise one. Like the operation itself, it's a good idea -- just not well-executed.
Bryan Singer's solid direction and some flavorful supporting performances from the dependable likes of Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, and Tom Wilkinson keep Valkyrie within the realm of handsome mediocrity.
It's slickly executed, handsomely acted for the most part and utterly easy to forget.
If Mr. Cruise doesn't work in Valkyrie, it's partly because he's too modern, too American and way too Tom Cruise to make sense in the role, but also because what passes for movie realism keeps changing, sometimes faster than even a star can change his brand.
Valkyrie's political and military subjects may have sounded like sure-fire thriller material. Wilkinson alone proves that a suspense film thrives on intriguing characters struggling to survive. Nothing in Valkyrie is as compelling as watching tides of calculation crash across Wilkinson's face.
Neither a masterpiece nor an embarrassment, but a workmanlike picture that sits, inoffensively, in the middling space between.
Directed by Bryan Singer in a break from his gayish superhero movies, it's a low-key procedural with a dollop of suspense--although perhaps not enough to make up for the foregone conclusion.
What makes Valkyrie more depressing than exciting is that it forces you to ask, against your judgment, what, exactly, he achieved.
The notorious action star keeps his bombastic persona remarkably reeled in, and the resulting film is earnest, somber, and extremely modest -- almost to a fault.
Sadly, it lacks the classic awfulness that might have lifted it into the pantheon of Truly Bad Movies. Instead, what we have here is a garden variety bad movie, of which there have been all too many lately.
We all know how it ends, and that foreknowledge dooms Singer's hotly anticipated and much troubled account of the attempt on Adolf Hitler's life.
If there are Nazis fighting other Nazis in a movie and it's still boring, something's gone wrong. Valkyrie has a coterie of problems, and represents a whole new front in Tom Cruise's public relations war, but first and foremost there's the tedium.

The Witcher series of action role-playing games is reaching further than ever before, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launching simultaneously on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2014. The new consoles have been mired in discussion over DRM (digital rights management) recently, with Microsoft instituting connectivity requirements to play games, and PlayStation leaving publishers to decide how to control the sale and resale of their content. The Polish developer behind The Witcher, CD Projekt RED, now tries to find an ideal incarnation for its publicly asserted values, which are staunchly opposed to DRM of any kind.
"I can only talk about our intentions; we don't have any agreement finalized yet," CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński tells me, carefully choosing his words. "It's all quite early and we're finding out about it this week, at the conference. But our intention, obviously, is to choose the most gamer-friendly solution." In CD Projekt's perfect world, those solutions would be aligned with their PC- and Mac-based digital distribution platform, GOG.com, where games are 100 percent DRM-free. "Whatever the solutions will be for our partners, we choose something ideally as close to what we have on GOG as possible."
While The Witcher 3 intends to make the best out each new console's content ownership policies, Iwiński hopes players will remain cognizant of the game's full breadth of supported platforms. "There's one important comment I'd like to make. When we announced [The Witcher 3] at the Microsoft conference, we saw a lot of comments on the internet. 'Hey, you should not release the game on Xbox One.' I think, really, that's not fair to a lot of gamers who choose Xbox One as a platform. We strongly believe in the freedom of choice, and not releasing the game on any of the platforms would be a disadvantage.
"Gamers, ultimately, especially right now when the new platforms are showing up, choose what they think is fine for them," says Iwiński. "Some people will have good connectivity with the internet and have no problem, and they'll just go with the Microsoft solution. On the other hand, we'll see how it will be changing in time, because I think there will be a lot of things happening on the market and competition between all the platform holders. The thing that will not change will be PC and DRM-free."
CD Projekt is "capable of delivering the game" on all three platforms, says Iwiński, who thinks punishing Microsoft for its policies would punish the players on Xbox One equally (and, obviously, limit the game's sales reach). "People are overdramatizing to a certain extent," he says. "I just want to assure them that we are true to our values, and will not punish any gamers. At the same time, they can choose whatever they see fit." This reflects the developer's current stance on PC, where The Witcher games are also sold outside of GOG and under other store-native DRM, as is the case with Steam.
"I think the level of involvement of the audience, especially gamers, who are super connected online, has changed, so they're very vocal about it," Iwiński says. "I think this is particular in our industry. Are you really going to go online and bash a washing machine that you don't like? I don't think that you have such a personal attachment to it, but games, movies, books, they're very vocal about it."
When I facetiously describe a washing machine that needs to ping home base every 24 hours lest it swallow your clothes, Iwiński plays along with the joke: "But the cloud would be helping you to optimize the washing process."

The List: Top 5 ferocious hitters
In this week's version of The List, Eric Allen breaks down the biggest hitters in the league.
Originally Published: April 16, 2007By Eric Allen | ESPN.com
Big-time hitters make their presence felt almost every time they take the field. They play with a controlled aggression and have little regard for their own welfare. Here are my top five ferocious hitters in the league.
Sean Taylor, FS, Washington Redskins: He's reckless and plays with no regard for his body. A great hitter has to have no fear of hurting himself and that's the way Taylor plays. He's a physically dominant football player and brings that Ronnie Lott type of aura.

Compre el NK-1 cuyos colores son PERFECTOS para la pieles latinas con subtonos amarillos, mezclo los naranjas para cubrir ojeras y las manchas marrones de alrededor de los labios. Con el tono más claro corrijo errores en el diseño de las cejas para dejarlas perfectas :D
Muy buen producto, muy buena cantidad y el empaque es práctico. Con respecto a la pigmentación, podría ser aún mejor pero considerando que es un pre correcto y que sobre el aplicaremos la base, considero que esta bien.
En algunas pieles (maduras/secas) puede ser un poco pesado y difícil de trabajar, pero el remedio es mezclarlo con media gota del Thinner de RCMA.

I use this for spot concealing, color correction, and a base for my under eye highlighter. Love blending it out with a beauty blender.
However, I have oily-combo skin, the formula is a tad bit too creamy(if that makes sense), but definitely works better than mac palette.

I love this concealer!!! I have SK-1 Cover-All for my fair skin. It's great!!!
Posted by Unknown on Feb 27th 2015
This is amazing it's a must have product. I take it every where I go. I purchased the cover all , I have very light beige skin about nc20-25 in Mac. I used the light colours as a concealer for pimples and it covers so well, the pinkish tone under my eyes for a highlight look and the darker colors just over my lips. Amazing!!!!
Posted by Unknown on Feb 2nd 2015
Good for covering up, don't put on too much though because it's pretty heavy and can easily look cakey.
Posted by Unknown on May 7th 2014
I like how creamy and easy to apply it is. The price is pretty perfect for such a nice product. I will definitely try more in the future.
Posted by Unknown on Apr 18th 2014
The colours blend together well to create many different skin tones. The consistency of the product is very buildable and creamy which is a huge plus for me. If the colour I applied is too light or dark, I can blend in other colours in the wheel to fix it.
Posted by Unknown on Mar 11th 2014
Very creamy and once I chose the correct color it worked perfectly. Good staying power when set with the banana powder.
Posted by Unknown on Feb 14th 2014
No staying power. Always creased and/or "slipped" off. I used as concealer under my eyes and received awful results. Colors was good but the product itself as an effective concealer did not work for me.
Posted by Unknown on Jan 13th 2014
This is the first product I have found that covers like I want it to, doesn't cake, and has staying power. I got the sk-2 highlight wheel and use it as a concealer. Will be buying again.
Posted by lvg on Dec 3rd 2013
Good product & hides under eye circles. Pleased with my purchase.
Posted by Daya on Sep 21st 2013
I expected good coverage for acne scars as reviews here said it would, but no i dont get coverage. However for veins and redness around nose its magic especially it covers light. I need help on a thicker creamy concealer as i have chicken pox scars plus acne dark scars on cheeks. If anyone may recommend another concelear please?
Posted by Shereen on Aug 21st 2013
I bought both Cover-All Wheel SK-1and Creme Highlight Wheel SK-2, very pigmented, but not thick it covers the dark circles, highlight , conceal imperfections and contour, i have dry skin and blueish purple under eye as i am a Mediterranean girl and i have medium olive skin and i usually have a spot or two every day and cover up all this, small amount goes long way enjoy these lovely products

I love this product. It hides my undereye cirlces, & not that pricey. I will definitely buy another one. :)
Posted by Ali on Apr 23rd 2013
Once again Ben Nye has my favor. Compared to all other high end concealer/correctors I cannot find anything that holds a candle to this. Whether you are a makeup artist or just want flawless skin, this color wheel does great things. The correctors are great for brightening the eyes or hiding hyper pigmentation. Anyone can have a well rested looking face with this color wheel. That is why I really like Ben Nye products because regardless how you use their makeup (for yourself, theatre, makeup artistry) you can get totally natural, photo ready skin. Also for the price, it blows all high end brands out of the water. I could care less about the aestheticsof packaging as long as it keeps the makeup fresh and contained.Really thinking about getting the other ones now! Thank the universe for CRC, my makeup kit would be at a loss without it!
Posted by Jessicca on Feb 22nd 2013
I've been using this wheel for the past 2 years. It is a good concealer. Has enough colors for getting the under eyes done. Good consistency. If you're having it crease under eyes, too much product is being used. And this product if applied with too much, will crease. Regardless, I love it & will continue to purchase.
Posted by Terry on Feb 19th 2013
Ok..So being an ameture I just wish this product came with instructions on how to blend for you perfect shade..When I opened my wheel I was mortified because I didnt expect these colors..BUT! here's the trick one you blend the colors and play around with the palet it is awesome and it hides every thing All belemished and even under eye circles!..so I will recommend but just blend!
Posted by Tess on Feb 10th 2013
Just a few words to say. Amazing. My undereye circles are gone with the wind. With a primer underneath it doesnt grease.
Posted by Clara on Jan 17th 2013
I have had this product for a while now, I am still learning to work with it, but I like it! It is nice that it has a variety of color to try out. I might purchase the colors separately in the future. I find that I have the best result when applying the product with a brush but blending with a warm finger. I do not powder or else the creasing is awful (maybe using the wrong powder?) It stays put well on me during the day.
Posted by Unknown on Aug 24th 2012
This color wheel works as good as some expensive concealer I've bought. So easy to blend and it does stay for the whole day. Nothing to complain about!
Posted by Shey on Aug 10th 2012
Love the texture and tone. fantastic product!
Posted by Lia on Jul 23rd 2012
I really love how it just transforms my face. It's how you well you apply the concealer to make it work. Will purchase again in the future!
Posted by Maria on Jun 15th 2012
Ive use all the concealers included in this color wheel. The coverage is quite average

UPDATE : Thanks to you, we've surpassed our goal! Snapshot Serengeti is still running and awaiting your classifications. Check it out: snapshotserengeti.org
At this very moment in Serengeti National Park, hundreds of cameras are automatically taking photographs day and night, in corners of the park where tourists never go. These are camera traps – remote, automatic cameras that take pictures of passing wildlife – and they take some of the most amazing, natural and important photos of the Serengeti's animals. Our initial funding has run out, and we're asking for your help so we can keep the cameras up and running for years to come.
About Us
We are a team of scientists studying the animal ecology of the Serengeti. Craig, Director of University of Minnesota's Lion Research Center, has been studying Serengeti lions for over three decades. His work has been fundamental to understanding lion behavior, group living, and human-lion conflict, and to promoting lion conservation. Ali set up the camera traps to understand how lions share the Serengeti with the other large predators: hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards. Margaret is interested in using the camera trap images to learn how the Serengeti's antelope balance the need to find food and to not get eaten themselves. Daniel and Stan have their feet on the ground in the Serengeti, tracking lions, replacing camera batteries, and making sure the project stays on track.
About the Camera Trap Pictures
Our camera traps capture over a million images of wildlife each year and we share them with you at SnapshotSerengeti.org. In fact, we rely on volunteers to help us identify the animals in each picture, because a million pictures is too much for us to handle! These pictures are taken automatically by our cameras and so have never been seen by anyone until they end up on the Snapshot Serengeti website, where anyone - including you! - can help us turn these photos into new scientific knowledge.
Some of the pictures are truly amazing, ranging from beautiful landscapes to intimate close-ups of lions and cheetahs, wildebeest and zebras. Some contain things that scientists and tour guides who spend entire careers in the Serengeti never see: porcupines mating, rare antelopes, bat-eared foxes chasing an aardwolf. And some images simply capture the grace and beauty of wild animals in their natural home.
Our Science
All of these pictures help us to advance science and conservation by giving us information about where the animals go across the seasons and through the years. We are building on a wealth of information about lions that has been collected over the past half century. We radio-collar and track dozens of lions, so we know all about where the lions go and what they eat. Now we want to learn more about how lions coexist with all the other animals in the Serengeti. And that's where the camera trap pictures come in.
We are answering questions like how large predators - lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards – manage to live in the same area, even though they will kill each other if they get the chance. We are learning about how lions and other predators change their ranges when the great wildebeest migration passes through the area. And we want to understand how the many types of antelope try to find the best grass to eat, while avoiding getting eaten themselves.
What do we need?
It costs us about ten thousand dollars each month to keep our research going. Our current funding will run out in September, and so we need to raise $33k just to get us to the end of 2013. Here's what we'll do with that money:
- $6,800: Salary for the field assistants, Daniel and Stan.
- $4,000: Replacement camera traps. The problem with leaving your cameras outdoors with wild animals is that sometimes those animals find the cameras interesting. Hyenas bite them, elephants rip them off trees and stomp on them, wasps infiltrate them. So we need to replace them on a regular basis.
- $9,000: Vehicle Maintenance. Everything from fixing tires punctured by spiky plants to reconnecting broken exhaust systems. Our vehicles take a beating, as we drive off-road day in and day out.
- $9,000: Vehicle Fuel. It's expensive out there and we have to cross hundreds of miles every week to survey the whole study area.
- $1,200: Rent. We rent a house in the Serengeti where we and the field assistants live. It doesn't have running hot water, a working toilet, or air conditioning, but the scenery is great!
- $3,000: Indiegogo and Paypal fees, perk fulfillment

Marsh grasses killed by BP oil spill but protected inner marshes
- Details

26 Jun 2012
- Published on Tuesday, 26 June 2012 10:29
- Hits (2202)
The BP-Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 worsened some already existing problems in Louisiana's salt marshes, but a study from the University of Florida found that marsh grasses also stopped the oils spread. The spill killed off salt marsh plants 15 to 30 feet away from the shoreline, increased the rate of erosion but grasses found more than 45 feet from the shoreline were only minimally affected by oil. While the grasses at the marsh edge died due to exposure to the oil, they also trapped the incoming oil slicks, concentrating oil on the marsh edge and protecting the inner marshes. The researchers believe that the oil spill result in elevated erosion rates for 1.5 years that averaged more than 10 feet of shoreline loss per year. However, the unaffected and health marsh plants in the protected marsh interior quickly grew back and tempered some of the erosion. The marsh is a main resource for coastal Louisiana – acting as nurseries for shrimp, oysters and fish – while also sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide. It protects coastlines from flooding and guard estuarine waters from nutrient pollution as well. The study also mentioned the researchers' bioremediation efforts at the marsh, using a charcoal-based substance called biochar to remove the harmful effect of a carcinogenic byproduct of oil, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, by attempting to break them down into organic material. If successful, it would help naturally occurring microbes in the marsh mud that already oxidize the oil carcinogen. – EcoSeed Staff

Gen. Ridgway's Personnel Management Policy
Meloy, Guy S., Army
As I read the September ARMY Magazine's review of what Maj. Vandergriff considered problems with the personnel management system, and on the next page a review of a biography describing Gen. Matthew Ridgway's leadership qualities, I was reminded of an interesting historical footnote passed to me by the late Gen. James M. Gavin.
Readers may recall that when Gen. Ridgway commanded the 82nd Airborne Division in World War II, Gavin, as a 36-year old colonel, initially commanded the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment during stateside training and the airborne assaults on Sicily and Salerno. At age 37 and after being promoted to brigadier general, he was assigned as Ridgway's assistant division commander for the airborne drop on Normandy. After Ridgway was promoted to his third star, he was promoted again and assumed command of the 82nd for the remainder of the war and for the first several months after the division returned to the continental United States.
Over the years Gen. Gavin frequently visited Ft. Bragg, N.C., to attend various division functions, and as a courtesy would usually visit with the division commander. On one such visit in 1979, while I was the commander, after a few minutes of pleasantries Gavin suddenly changed the subject and started asking a series of probing questions concerning the age, professional education and professional experience of the division's chain of command: What was my background and that of the assistant division commanders? How many of the brigade commanders had attended the War College (all), how old were they, and how much service did they have? How many battalion commanders had been to Command and General Staff College (all), and what were their ages and length of service? He asked about company commanders and how many had completed their respective branch's advanced course. He wanted to know how much service our first sergeants had, and even asked about platoon sergeants and squad leaders. He seemed especially interested in officer schooling and the NCO education system and military occupational specialty qualification standards.
In short order he had a reasonably good idea of the professional experience and qualifications of the division's entire chain of command from squad leader to commanding general. As I grew more and more curious as to what prompted that line of questions, he suddenly changed the subject. "Have you ever wondered how in the world our amateur Army ever won World War II?" He then answered his own question, and while after more than 20 years the numbers that follow may not be exact, they are close. This is what he said:
"When the 82nd deployed to North Africa in 1943, Matt Ridgway and perhaps one other general were the only members of the division who had attended a war college. Only three of the colonels had attended Leavenworth, only one or two of the battalion commanders had, and as a matter of fact, many of the battalion commanders had never even attended their advanced course. The average age of the colonels was less than 40, and when we made the Normandy jump, one was still in his 20s. Most battalion commanders were in their late 20s or very early 30s. Most of the company commanders were in their early 20s, and the majority of both commissioned and noncommissioned leaders at battalion and company level had less than two years of active duty. Battalion and regimental staff officers were in their late 20s, in a few cases in their early 30s, and most of the staffs at battalion level also had less than two years service. The average age of our platoon leaders was about 20 or 21, first sergeants and platoon sergeants maybe 24 or 25, and most squad leaders were teen-agers or, at best, just out of their teens. I'd estimate that at the time we deployed overseas, between 80 and 90 percent of the division had served two years or less; more than half were still teen-- agers, and most of those in the chain of command were in their 20s. And since that was probably typical of most divisions, the 82nd was not that different from other outfits. …

Honestly season 7 just seemed to be obvious they were running out of ideas, so they just started throwing random things out there that really didn't make sense.
Hey, let's have Worf and Troi hook up! Hey let's make Troi a command officer! Let's have Wesley become a Indian seer!
This. This forever.
They had a chance of giving Wesley some real character growth, to make him conflicted and interesting in his last episode ever, and what do they do? Give him the most Mary Sue-ish exit of all time. I hate that episode with the fire of a thousand suns (and Wesley is not even the only issue I have with that episode), and that alone is enough to make season 6 better than season 7.
That and Sub Rosa.
Seriously? LAME.
Otherwise, the season was decent enough, I guess.
It was a nice day ... AND THEN EVIL CAME!

Rated 4 out of 5 by RRR51 between General Managers over Thanksgiving holidays 2012 I have stayed with my family at this property many times over the past few years.It is well located,very clean, and overall an above average facility. I was extremely disappointed in the staff and the lack of care and assistance they offered on Thanksgiving day when my cell phone was stolen somewhere on the eighth floor. I called from my wife's phone the second we realized it was missing. We explained the situation but they were not helpful. December 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by drz40 Thie hotel is overpriced for the quality and level of service This Westin is simply overpriced. I do not shy away from paying a premium for a nice hotel. This hotel is a basic conference hotel with basic amenities. The small workout facitlity and the dirty carpets in the hallways were below expectations. I requested a fax to be sent to my office and it simply never went our, no apology was offered. All below expections given the price of the hotel. December 3, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by GQ4Life The Best Westin This was my first time staying at this hotel and it was an awesome experience. The hotel is very clean and truly an icon for the area. Also, the staff was extremely nice and my room was spacious and clean as well. Also, I enjoyed the Domain community with all the restaurants and shops included there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave58 Very service oriented staff! From check-in to check-out we encountered friendly staff who really seemed to care about our experience at the Westin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CAS2012 Excellent location, service and courtesy The hotel is conveniently located to shopping, fine restaurants, and major highways to get you anywhere in Austin. The hotel is well maintained; very fresh and clean smelling in corridors and rooms. The hotel front desk--exceptional! They go out of their way to accommodate you in any way they can. Will stay again! November 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by 4412 Great location and services. The hotel is great. The night desk clerk was rude and not helpful when my wife checked in. Called and made the reservation in both of our names because I was arriving late, and she would be there early. Was assured by your staff that she could check in with my card which was already on file. We stay with you frequently. Who ever this clerk is, she needs to be a little more understanding.

Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
I took the iPhone4 ATT 32gb to Apple Store and they were there typical NO HELP!! But they did confirm that the Battery was OK.
I just finished a iOS restore original settings… didn't restore from any previous backup so the iPhone is set to factory settings the Version indicates 5.1.1 (9B206).
My iPhone has now been plugged into my MacBook Pro (Windows 7) using my normal iPhone Connecter cable. It has been 90 min. since I finished the restore. The battery gage indicates that the battery is at 9% charge and is charging however the percentage hasn't gone up or down in over an hour it seems to be stuck at 9%.
The icon for the device in iToons dosn't show the charging icon as it normaly does and the lock screen on the iPhone shows the Battery Gage but it also dosen't show the charging icon... the only place that shows the charging icon is the upper right corner of the home screen
ANY one else experiencing this type of problem?? Or any idea what I might now do?? The device / Battery / Charger have been working perfectly the only change is that I updated to 5.1.1 … HELP PLEASE
Evan Santé May 15, 2012 9:37 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
Issue still unresolved!!!
I plugged in my iPhone into a charger overnight, when the device was not plugged into a wall it was plugged into a Mophy External Battery….and the device is still reading 9%... It indicates that it is charging on the upper right hand corner of the home screen but the number never changes still running only factory settings.
Am I the only one who is seeing this????

Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
Hello Evan,
From what I have read, this sounds, like a software bug. The only thing I can strongly suggest is ensuring Apple are aware of this bug or error, from there latest "software upgrade".
Until then have you tried letting your phone battery go completely flat? Whether this will have an affect, also when the battery gets closer to the dying stage does the battery percentage change from 9% for example down to 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1%?
If so maybe and hopefully on its next charge / reboot it will have an affect and re-show your battery percentage, as Apple have said that battery seems perfectly fine. I'd also suggest having a look through the iPhones and iOS 5 user guide:
Good luck & hope the above helps!
Evan Santé May 15, 2012 9:59 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Jamalam10
When it isn't pluged into some sort of charger / battery then yes the battery percentage does run down... I'm realy hesetent to fully drain the battery for fear that it will brick to phone!!!
Jamalam10 May 15, 2012 10:03 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
I know what you mean, personally I'd take this risk.. As Apple didnt seem as helpful as you would like them to be, if you have one of the three: "insurance, warranty and Apple care".. I'd suggest taking this risk, if this doesn't resolve the issue at least Apple will have a responsibility to repair or give you a replacement iPhone.
Evan Santé May 15, 2012 10:17 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Jamalam10
I don't have any of the options you provided... with the new iPhone less than 6 mth away I'm not going to buy a new one... I have a great repair shop in NYC that will replace the battery at a reasonable fee but the battery was working fine prior to the iOS 5.1.1 update so I don't think replacing the battery will help.
It's one of two things: because it's a 18 mth old phone the logic board has gone bad but I agree with you it's more likely an issue with the iOS update.
But why does it seem to only affect my Phone??? If it was an update issue then others would be reporting the problem, like those who are experiencing battery drain issues.
Jamalam10 May 15, 2012 10:47 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
An I see your point, if you are getting a new phone within the next half a year then their not 100% much point. I say if Apple have said the battery is perfectly fine, theirs not much point in replacing battery, as it's more the software which is showing the percentage left of your battery.
That is a good question, and I haven't seen anything like this before either. This must be a new issue they're facing with the software update, only thing I can suggest is maybe contacting Apple again; and make them aware of this issue. Plus also keeping an eye on the forums for anyone else experiencing this issue.

Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
I am having the same problem. I have the iphone 4 and updated to the 5.1.1 and now my phone doesnt charge. I brought it to the Apple Store and they told me I needed a replacement iPhone which will cost $150 (great service...NOTTTTTTT).
I'm ****** because i take great care of my iphone and this is the only time I have had problems with it. All because I updated to 5.1.1
I have a replacement battery coming in to see if the update made the battery shot, but well see
Evan Santé May 15, 2012 11:10 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to trueliu
The only reason I wasted my time going to the Apple Store is because they have access to tools and a KBase that isn't publicly available. I really don't think it's an issue with the battery. If it isn't the OS then it's a logic board problem…
I'm going to try and reinstall firmware thru OSX and not Windows to see if that might work??? Between this and a problem with Adobe I have lost 4 days of work and I'm NOT HAPPY!!
trueliu May 15, 2012 11:23 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
I have a feeling if you downgrade back to 5.1 that the phone will work normal. The only problem I have that is my phone is dead and hoping the new battery has some juice in it so my machine will recoginze it. It was only about $6 for an OEM replacement battery (surprisingly). But I read downgrading it you need to have the SHSH blogs saved because Apple made it harder to downgrade firmware for what ever reason. I am going to try anyways.
But I think you might be right about the logic board...do you know if there would be a fix for that?
Evan Santé May 15, 2012 12:44 PM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to trueliu
I know that if you could easily downgrade to 5.1 that it would resolve the problem… but in order to do that you have to jailbreak your phone… there is no legitimate downgrade path to the firmware.
I did a quick search and it seems that there are companies that will replace the logic board but when you start to go down that path you're just asking for trouble. It's technology and once it starts to go bad your just wasting money trying to repair it… unfortunately for me this is an 18mth old phone I was hoping to use it until a new iPhone came out…
FYI - I tried switching to OSX and downloading / reinstalling 5.1.1 thru MAC OS. That didn't resolve the issue. At 2% now… going to brick my phone now... drain the battery to see if maybe that will work... probably won't but… please let me know if replacing the battery works for you
I realy don't know why I hate more Apple or Adobe!!!

Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
It's not just you. I have had my iPhone 4 for about 15 months with no problems, did the upgrade to 5.1.1 over the weekend. Since then I have not been able to charge it - all devices are coming up "charging not supported with this accessory". I have done all the appropriate resets, restores etc. Tried it on numerous chargers. I rang Apple, who of course said this was the first they heard of the issue. If I left it on overnight it would charge to 5%, despite never actually showing that it was charging. I have insurance, so took it into the shop today. I am going to be out of pocket, which I am not to impressed about. I have an iMac, iPad and this is the first time I have ever had any problems with any Apple product. Good luck to everyone, but in my experience nothing I could do has fixed the problem.
Evan Santé May 16, 2012 9:40 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Sammyjo007 Solved
Just an update…
I took my iPhone into my local non-Apple fixit place on 23rd street…
The tech I spoke with, I have worked with in the past and have a good relationship, indicated they had received an in ordainment number of devices with battery issues since 5.1.1 was released.
He had 3 iPhone4 open, 1 was running 5.1. I asked him to put my battery in the device to see if it would charge and YES IT DID CHARGE PROPERLY!!!
I went ahead and replaced the battery on mine, after all it was a 2 year old battery, and all is working perfectly… after a full charge I unplugged from wall and after 14 hrs. with miner usage my battery has only drained to 85%
So the good news is that the fixe was to just replace the battery but %&^ Apple. My belief is that they are fully aware of the issue and did it in order to sell more iPhones.
This is just like the issue with my iPad… I have an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro so I should have no problem charging the iPad directly from the USB port. However if I plug it in while the MacBook is running OSX the iPad charges perfectly… However if I plug it in while Windows 7 is running (It is the only OS on my internal Hard Drive) the iPad will not charge.
I would love to know if anyone else can duplicate the results to confirm what I saw yesterday!!!
trueliu May 16, 2012 9:59 AM
Re: iOS 5.1.1 Battery won't charge in response to Evan Santé
Hey Evan,
Are you sure the fix is just to switch the battery and nothing else with the logic board or anything. I am still waiting for my battery to come in the mail and hopefully switch it and have that be the fix(very excited). Are you sure your friend tech didn't do anything else to it?
I am happy your iphone is fixed and hoping I will have the same results.

some of this appears to be connected to cmos rather than aps-c sensors. but there are other good points worth considering being made. not sure the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence after all.

California Supreme Court ruling limits commission wage allocation
By Paula M Weber, Thomas N Makris and Osama E Hamdy
On 14 June 2014, the California Supreme Court held that employers could not satisfy California's compensation requirements for the commission sales exemption by attributing commission wages paid in one pay period to other pay periods. This decision may have substantial impact on employers who pay employees on a commission basis, especially those employers who pay commission sales employees a base salary that is close to minimum wage.
In Peabody v Time Warner Cable Inc, Case No. S204804, Time Warner contended that a former account executive was not entitled to overtime pay because she fell into California's 'commissioned employee' exemption. The exemption requires, among other things, that the employee's earnings exceed one and one-half times the minimum wage. The exemption also requires that more than half of the employee's compensation be commissions. Here, the plaintiff's hourly wages were only $9.61 (£5.62) an hour so they alone did not satisfy the requirement the employee be paid one and one-half times minimum wage. These hourly wages were paid every other week. The plaintiff's total compensation exceeded one and one-half times minimum wage when the hourly wages were combined with commissions paid the employee. However, commissions were paid only once a month. The commissions paid were earned throughout the proceeding one-month period.
As a result, it was undisputed that, during some pay periods, the employee's earnings fell short of one and one-half times the minimum wage. In addition, it was undisputed that the plaintiff regularly worked 45 hours per week and was paid no overtime. Time Warner claimed that the employee's commission payments should be reassigned from the bi-weekly pay periods in which they were paid to earlier pay periods in which they were earned. Time Warner argued that attributing commission wages in this manner would satisfy the exemption's minimum earnings prong and therefore free Time Warner of the obligation to pay overtime. The California Supreme Court rejected this argument and concluded that it was impermissible for Time Warner to attribute commission wages in this fashion…

Stop Asking Me: Vegetarian & Vegan Tamales
This column is where Dine Editor Lesley Bargar Suter usually shares her restaurant recommendations that she gives to inquiring friends and/or coworkers. But today, I'm hijacking it, and making it my own. I too get hit up for advice on where to dine out from time to time, and despite the title of this post, I'm always truly happy to help.
Who are you?: Alex F., Sherman Oaks
What do you want?: "I saw [Bill Esparza's] post on where to order traditional tamales for the holidays, but wanted to see if you knew of a restaurant or food cart with awesome vegetarian- and vegan-friendly tamales."
My reply: Tamara's Tamales in Culver City. It's been a favorite of mine since I worked around the corner at Cooking.com a few years ago. The menu at Tamara's has no shortage of carne, to be sure, but there's always a handful of vegan and vegetarian tamales available that NEVER fail to please. One of my favorites is the veggie special—pictured above—filled with potato, carrot, zucchini, parsnip, bell peppers, cilantro, green chile, green beans, and shiitake mushrooms. Parsnips in a tamale? Yes indeed. Bill Esparza may or may not be appalled at the thought of it, but let me tell you: it's divine.
There's something about the tortilla chips here, too. They're long strips rather than the usual triangle that you normally find. It's not just the shape though, they've got a certain je n' sais quoi that I dig. I'm not entirely sure what it is that makes them so special, but give me a small basket of 'em and a big bowl of the homemade salsa verde and I'll be one happy camper.
Tamara's Tamales, 13352 Washington Blvd., Culver City, TamarasTamales.com
