Celebrity chef Guy Fieri was caught on camera embroiled in a violent tussle with his hairdresser.
The "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" star and his hairdresser, Ariel Ramirez, had reportedly traveled on a flight together to San Francisco, California on Saturday and were making their way home in a black SUV when a fight broke out.
Editors at TMZ.com caught the bust-up on tape, with footage purportedly showing an hysterical Ramirez screaming at the TV star while punching him through the car's open door. Ramirez is heard crying and shouting expletives throughout the ordeal.
Fieri, who also kicks out at his employee from the passenger seat of the SUV, then slams the door and the car speeds off.
A representative for the chef has now dismissed the fight as an argument which got out of hand, saying, "A bunch of guys were messing around. Things got a little out of hand, but they're all good now."

Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 Carbon X0-1 AM Complete Mountain Bike $0.00
After years of burgeoning marketing-driven product categories, it's refreshing to see the return of mountain bikes made for going mountain biking―exactly what Santa Cruz had in mind with the 5010 Carbon X0-1 complete mountain bike. This 27.5 inch trail-fiend blurs the lines between inane product groups and instead focuses on the heart of the matter―enjoying every ride, no matter where it takes you. It starts with the five pound 5010 frame, a frame that's equally capable of slogging through all-day backcountry explorations as it is mixing it up at your local XC races, or going for the glory at Enduro rounds. The versatility is enhanced by FOX suspension, a Rockshox Reverb Stealth dropper post, and hand-built wheels. It's no surprise that SRAM's X0-1 is the drivetrain of choice. It employs a massive 10-42 cassette, meaning that you can ditch the front derailleur and maintain the full gear range that you're used to. The result is easily greater than the sum of its parts, and it adds up to a bike that will thrive just about anywhere you want to take it.
Santa Cruz's industry-leading carbon fiber construction is at its best on the 5010. Both the front and rear triangles are constructed as a whole, rather than bonding them together from sub-assemblies. In addition to saving weight, it ensures that the 5010 is as strong as possible. That's because the fibers are uninterrupted by seams, which happens with other construction methods. If you were to cut it in half, you'd find that the inside of the tubes has the same perfectly smooth finish as the outside. That's a result of construction techniques that maximize the compaction of the layers. The benefit is that it's lighter, because any excess epoxy is squeezed from the frame prior to curing, and this ideal degree of compaction optimizes the strength. Plus, it keeps the frame weight in the XC race realm, at a shade over five pounds with shock. And the strength and stiffness are further enhanced with the mechanic-friendly, oversized 15mm collet-style hardware, and 12x142mm through axle out back.
Mid-sized 27.5 inch wheels, like those found on the 5010, have been surrounded by a whirlwind of attention as of late, and with good reason. The geometry of 26-inch bikes has become thoroughly refined over the past few years, but many riders find that the improved rolling characteristics of a 29 inch wheel make them an appealing alternative. However, stuffing a 29-inch wheel into a frame with moderate travel can produce some undesirable side effects, most notably long, unwieldy chainstays. By designing the 5010 around 27.5-inch wheels, Santa Cruz has harnessed the improved rolling ability of larger wheels, while dropping nearly three quarters of an inch off the chainstay length of the Tallboy. And that translates into faster turns and a more responsive ride. The chainstays grow roughly a quarter inch as compared to the Blur TR, allowing it to maintain the snappy handling of its smaller wheeled sibling. And like the Blur TR, the head angle remains at 68 degrees. What that means for you is that the steering feel is nearly identical to the notoriously fun TR. Instead of thinking of the 5010 as a downsized Tallboy, consider it a beefed up Blur TR that retains the flickability, and adds a heaping spoonful of out-and-out speed to the equation.
The X0-1 AM build features SRAM's 11 speed X01 groupset. By using a massive 10-42 cassette, you're able to get a gearing range that's similar to a traditional double chainring drivetrain, and you save the weight and complexity of a front shifter and derailleur. The concept has been proven at the highest levels of competition via SRAM's XX1 groupset, so the reliability and functionality are undisputed. Suspension duties are handled by FOX units front and back, in the form of a 32 FLOAT fork, and a FOX FLOAT CTD evolution rear shock. The fork employs FOX's FIT sealed damper for consistent performance on long descents, and the none-more-gold Kashima coating. The rear shock forgoes the Kashima coating, although in our experience, the tangible difference in performance is somewhere between negligible and non-existent.
You'll find an Easton Havoc alloy handlebar and Truvativ AKA stem handling the steering, and the staff favorite Rockshox Reverb Stealth dropper post puts control of your saddle height at your fingertips. Rounding out the build kit is a hand-built wheelset comprised of DT's legendary 350 hubs laced with DT spokes to WTB i23 tubeless compatible rims. They're wrapped in Maxxis High Roller II tires, which have developed a loyal following for their fast rolling and incredible grip across a broad range of trail conditions.
The Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon X0-1 AM Complete Mountain Bike is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large, and in the colors Gloss Orange/white, and Matte Black/green.

MOAB bests
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
What a bike, rode it for four days in MOAB and Fruita. The bike rocks! Looks like my old Blur LT will be getting some needed rest. Cant wait to try it out east to see what it does on our tight and rooty trails.
Great bike!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this bike to upgrade a 26" Stumpjumper Elite FSR. After a couple of weeks of riding it, I did a 4 day stage race on it (250 kms) and improved my race times significantly. What can I say other than it is an amazing bike, extremely comfortable in climbs, rolls great and is extremely capable going down.
VPP/Rear suspension works great, dont even miss the brain in my former bike.
Shimano XT's are the best brakes I've owned, precise and strong.
Stealth Reverb amazing also.
The build quality of the bike is amazing, is a head turner everywhere you go.
Highly recommend.
One of the best mountain bikes out there
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I road the 5010 on a demo a few weekends ago and was blown away. It handles so well that it feels like an extension of your body. Santa Cruz hit a home run with this one as its a great all around bike that can be a XC racer or an all day trail bike. My wife and I were both so impressed with it that we bought one for her...hopefully she'll let me borrow it from time to time.
A Do-anything Bike
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I still favor the29" wheel for its ability to roll over obstacles and cover terrain, but the 5010 is the favorite 650b bike that I have ridden thus far. The steering response is very light and intuitive, especially down switchbacks and tight corners. It is fun to pump the bars and carry speed over fast rolling terrain, but does not feel like too much bike when the time comes to push up a climb (the Bronson can do the climbs but is more bike than I want on the up and more than I need on the down) Some Santa Cruz bikes I've ridden in the past, particularly the Tallboy LT, felt kind of wallowy in the midstroke, but the 5010 had the active-but-high-riding feel I like.
Smooth like fresh blacktop.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
What can I say? I have never really been too keen on VPP, but now that they have made some tweaks, and added some 27.5 wheels in the mix, I have finally found a bike that is hanging out near the top spot for my one bike for next season. I had the chance to demo this bike on two rides, both, unfortunately were over relatively mellow, smooth trails in the wasatch and I never got to really open the bike up through technical terrain the way I wanted to. This bike had a perceived speed that made descending down the jump and berm filled Rush trail feel faster than ever before, as well as the light weight and suspension riding high in the travel (~15% sag) led to a bike that would be at home rallying a slalom track. I'm hoping to get a few rocky, technical rides in before the snow flies to give it a full run down and make my decision for next season, but the 5010 is an incredible bike and will handle all but full on DH trails with reckless abandon.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I feel this bike is a definite do-it-all type bike that doesn't want to back down to any terrain. The only caveat is the rider willing to push this bike to the limits. First things first, it's a Santa Cruz which means they pretty much have their VPP suspension platform dialed. As I've said in previous reviews, shock pressure/sag seems to play a vital role in the bikes personality. Set it up a bit more sag (>25%) and you will still get efficient pedaling, just with more small bump compliance and a bit more subdued handling. Set it up a bit firmer (~20%) you will get a bike that stays higher in its travel and the bike wakes up from its slumber becoming more nimble.
For a trail bike, I think this is my favorite so far as the geometry makes for handling that wants to be pushed faster and faster. Get the chance to ride it down your favorite section of trail and tell me that the bike didn't tell you to go faster (It's only crazy if it doesn't work). Even at the opportunity of lift assisted Double Black Diamond trails, the bike's 125mm of suspension didn't want to let up. I guess the easiest way to describe it would be a Pomeranian playing with Rottweilers.
The X01 package is a great setup all around. Shimano XT brakes provide ample stopping power, Sram X01 1x11 drivetrain keeps things simple, and the Rockshox Reverb dropper seatpost provides confidence on steep descents. My only gripe was the 34T chainring as it doesn't cater too well to the climbing in Utah. I think most riders would be happier with a smaller chainring such as a 32.

text: Actress Halle Berry and ex Gabriel Aubry have entered into a bitter war of words, but signs of their ugly custody battle were not on display as Gabriel took daughter Nahla for a father daughter bonding session at the Los Angeles Zoo on February 17, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. After being dropped off by the family nanny, Nahla and her doting daddy headed out for a crisp winter day at the zoo. Nothing resembling the spiteful rumors of poor parenting and racism were evident on the public outing and the two seemed happy and relaxed together. Snug in the arms of her Gabriel, Nahla enjoyed a lollipop and whispered lovingly to her father as they walked to his car.

Pretty simple. What unit would be the most epic-awesome-sauce ever? This could be something serious, like a trebuchet that acts as a souped-up catapult. Alternatively, choose something completely ludicrous like a giant slug to assault your enemies (see the example). Perhaps the game really needs flying magicians, or maybe just a humble and undervalued shield-bearer. Take your pick, and tell the world!
Entries must include:
1. Unit name [self-explanatory]

2. All entrants must play on w42, and in-game names must be told for prem to be awarded.
3. All entries must be posted in this thread. One entry per person.
4. Minimum of 4 entries required for the competition to go ahead. (So yes, there will be a loser. I'll also try to think up a good consolation prize though.)
5. Have fun. Any entrant who does not have fun will be disqualified. Believe me, I'll know. How? You don't want to ask...
The entry period closes August 9 at 23:59. Voting for the most epic-awesome-sauce unit ever will start a few days later (once I bug kdeb to make a poll) and last for three days. Bloggers will do any necessary tie-breaking.

Spoiler:Unit name: Giant Slug
About: Giant slugs take up 250 population each (read Irontusk's Guide if you don't understand how this works – also, 50 of those villagers are used as food for the hungry slug). They move at the same speed as noblemen. They have no attack and no defense. However, any time they attack a village where the defending troops translate to fewer than 500 villagers, that village loses a farm level (to a minimum of level 1). (There is reasoning for this! The defenders salt the slug, and this also damages the cropland. However, enough villagers can simply crush the slug.) A maximum of three slugs can participate in any one attack with an additional 500 villagers needed to defend against each slug – any others sent die automatically without damaging the farm. Villagers that participate in salting/crushing a slug can still defend against any other troops sent with the slugs. Giant slugs could be used for more confusing fake train. If the defender snipes instead of stacking, she or he loses farm levels. However, the population cost makes them inconvenient to use too often.
Paladin weapon: Mollusca's Slime. Up to five slugs can attack successfully together, and each must be defended against by 750 villagers to prevent a loss of farm levels.
Why: Everything is better with giant slugs. This is known fact.
(Yes, I did have fun with this... And shhh, continuity, logic, and game balance really don't matter too much. ;P)
General other notes:
- No, this does not mean these units will show up in the game. Yes, I do have to say this because I've seen people assume in other blog contests that their suggestions would actually be taken seriously.
- Please ask for any clarifications you need. My mind is somewhat addled right now.

The number of ultra wealthy people has risen much faster in the West than in emerging markets during the past year, according to a report released on Wednesday.
Almost 10,000 people in Europe and North America have joined the world's ultra wealthy population - meaning they have at least $30 million in net assets - this year while the number of such individuals in the likes of China and Brazil has fallen.
The findings, compiled by UBS AG and Wealth-X (download report), go against expectations that growth in the wealthy populations of fast-growing economies in Asia and Latin America is outstripping those of "old money" countries like the United States, Great Britain and Switzerland.
Despite Indias modest 1.6 per cent population growth, the country added more UHNW individuals (120) than any other BRICS nations in the past 12 months. However, billionaires were the weakest performing wealth tier, joined only by those worth between $200 million and $249 million who did not increase their wealth.
There were 7,850 UHNW individuals (1.6%) in India in 2013 with combined wealth of $935 billion (1.1%). The country had 7,730 UHNW individuals last year with $925 billion wealth. But India's UHNW population with $1 billion wealth fell by 5.5% to 103 in comparison to 109 bn 2012. Total combined wealth of billionaires also fell by 5.3 per cent $180 billion ($190 bn in 2012)
The lowest tier of the UHNW group represented by those worth USD 30 million to USD 49 million is the largest group, of the total UHNW population in the country with a combined fortune of USD 130 billion.
Moreover, India has also the highest number of female millionaires in the world as the country boasts of over 1,250 UHNW women with a combined fortune of USD 95 billion.
A city-wise analysis shows that more than 90 per cent of India's UHNW population live in top 10 cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Gurgaon and Jaipur.
Mumbai and Delhi, however, dominate with more than 50 per cent of the country's UHNW population based in one of these two cities, the report said.
China saw a 5.1 per cent dip in the number of ultra wealthy people based within its borders while Brazil had a 13.5 per cent fall in 2013 compared with last year.
Bankers, however, say the findings don't necessarily mean there isn't a large wealthy population developing in these countries, but are more

Hard to believe after Sony's PlayStation 2 console just turned nine years old it would finally hit Brazil, eh?
That is exactly what Sony did today, according to Kotaku (linked above), the PS2 has officially launched in Brazil.
To quote: "It's priced at R$799, which works out to be around USD$465. So, yes, it's expensive to buy video games in Brazil.
Our man Pedro tells us that with a nine year-old console only just launching, there obviously isn't an official PS3 presence, though he says Sony do sell some older PS3 games. For R$199 (USD$115).
Ever wanted to know why piracy was rife in South America, those prices might get you in the right direction."

WASHINGTON — Expect crowded crosswalks, closed streets, and congestion downtown on Saturday for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Metro will accommodate expected crowds by keeping track work at a minimum.
In addition to congestion on the inbound roads, there are several major construction projects set to take place this weekend. New York Avenue will be closed in Northeast; Interstate 95 will be closed for overnight work in Virginia; and the Route 29 interchange project in Gainesville will reach a major milestone.
50th Anniversary of March on Washington
The Realize the Dream March, Rally, Global Freedom Festival and the "Let Freedom Ring" commemoration will cause delays and crowded conditions downtown on Saturday.
The National Park Service will block the Memorial Bridge between Memorial Circle and the Lincoln Memorial beginning at 6 a.m. Park police say they will keep access to Arlington Memorial Cemetery open by way of Route 110. Memorial Circle, they say, will be kept open from Washington Boulevard and the George Washington Parkway as long as foot traffic remains manageable.
Driving downtown will be difficult and in some cases impossible. As with any large event on the National Mall, the best way to get there is by taking Metro. Metro trains will be crowded, but WMATA says track work will be kept at minimum, delaying only customers departing Franconia-Springfield. Buying a fare card in advance may save you some time. The best stations for the day's events: Farragut North, Farragut West, Smithsonian and Arlington Cemetery for a scenic walk toward the Lincoln Memorial.
The day's events will close streets on the south side of the National Mall between the Potomac River and Maine Avenue to the east of the Tidal Basin. The streets and parking areas near West Potomac Park and the Jefferson Memorial will also be closed.
Constitution Avenue is expected to remain open but will likely be slow as Independence Avenue will be closed for the march itself.
All Potomac River bridges will remain open except for the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

Interstate 95 Express Lanes
Heavy work this weekend will close the southbound lanes on I-95 Friday between Springfield and Newington, Va.
Michelle Holland, spokesperson for VA MegaProjects, says to expect delays late Friday.
"We are continuing to work steadily on the 95 Express Lanes. Tonight we're lifting a large steel girder that's going to support one of the flyover ramps that will be built to take traffic into the Express Lanes from I-95 south."
All southbound lanes will be shut down overnight Friday to safely hoist this material over and across the mainline.
"We will be diverting long distance traffic, or "thru" traffic, into the Express Lanes just south of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway. Drivers are encouraged to get into the HOV lanes earlier to avoid the congestion, to build in extra travel time and to expect delays," Holland says.
Crews plan to close one lane south of the Beltway (near mile marker 169) at 9:30 p.m., a second lane at 11 p.m. and all lanes at midnight. The full closure will be lifted by 6 a.m. and all lanes should be open by 9 a.m. Holland says the HOV lanes will be closed on Saturday and Sunday night, but she says that daytime closures of the facility will not take place.
"We will not have closures on the HOV lanes for the next two weekends due to the heavier end-of-summer travel."
New traffic pattern in Gainesville
VDOT warns that motorists could encounter major delays in Gainesville this weekend. Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday through most of the weekend, only one lane in each direction will be open on Route 29 near Linton Hall Road as crews prepare to shift traffic onto the new, highly anticipated elevated bridge over the railroad tracks.
Motorists can avoid delays of up to an hour through Gainesville by using I-66 and Route 15.
In addition to the traffic switch, crews will be paving and striping various segments of the connection to the new overpass. Police will be on the scene to assist with traffic control.
Consider bypassing the work zone by using Route 15 through Haymarket.
New York Avenue closure
New York Avenue will be closed both ways beginning at 9 p.m. on Friday for continuing bridge work. Crews will also be erecting a large sculpture on the north side of the overpass.
No major track work on Metro
Metro will not perform any significant track work this weekend. Only customers departing the Franconia-Springfield station will face delays with trains running at 24 minute intervals. All Metro stations will remain open throughout the weekend.

45 Three Modern Vintage Home
Store Profile
- Location: Los Angeles, California
Store History
- Founded: 2009
- Founded by: Staci Cain
- Headquarters: Los Angeles
For Staci Cain a trip to the South of France inspired and reignited a passion for collecting antiques and vintage furniture. Leaving corporate America behind Staci started small with once a month estate sales for friends and friends of friends. Her impeccable eye for antiques and killer style quickly developed a following and it was only a matter of time before she opened a storefront. Now that passion has been translated into a shop bursting with glamour, style and loads and loads of amazing, covetable pieces.
Every time we set foot inside 45 Three the place looks different. Not only is it rearranged but the store's founder, Staci Cain, has trouble keeping things on the showroom floor for very long. Blame it on completely reasonable prices, great pieces, frequent sales and loyal clientele. We've run into other designers, art directors and her regulars: the people that stop in once or twice a week to be the first to lay their hands on her newest finds.
A little history about the store:
A little over a year ago Staci Cain was re-evaluating her professional path. Having spent years as a studio executive, she yearned for something more creative, something that she felt more passionately about. A trip to the South of France ensued and reignited a passion she'd had since she was little: collecting antiques and vintage furniture. Staci started collecting: she shipped her wares home and people loved them. Then she started hosting small private sales and people loved those. Then, one of her usual haunts: Casa Victoria on Fairfax decided to consolidate into one showroom (in Silver Lake) and they offered the storefront to Staci.
Taking the plunge, she opened 45 Three Modern Vintage Home and hasn't looked back since.
She carries everything from cool vintage paintings and portraits, Italian Ceramic animals, 60's and 70's geometric patterned fabrics, Regency style settees and lots of great lamps to abstract art from the 60s and 70's, tufted chairs and small accessories. The store is high glamour and loaded with drama (check out that rainbow snake print on the wingback chair). And like we mentioned: the best part is that the showroom floor changes often. Things sell quickly and if something isn't selling Staci will recover it, reimagine it or donate it to make space for something new. She is passionate about what she decides to sell and wants, above everything, to inspire her customers. So no stale showroom for her.

Revisiting David Cook…
Wednesday night is another big night for the Blue Springs, Mo., native and "American Idol" finalist David Cook…who happens to also be a pretty big Royals fan!
Cook, who was just at Kauffman Stadium this past Friday, performed his songs Tuesday on the popular show and now finds out whether he makes the cut again.
Yup, while we are all at The K watching Luke Hochevar and the Royals battle the Detroit Tigers at 7:10 p.m., Cook will be waiting for votes and watching the footage of his hometown visit to Kansas City including the visit to the stadium – where he threw out a first pitch and sang the seventh-inning stretch – and the pep rally at Blue Springs South High School where he met Royals mascot Sluggerrr (the newest pictures to add to our David Cook collection!).
So, in between innings – if you aren't at the stadium, of course! – switch over and catch some of the Royals and Cook at The K on "American Idol."
Go Royals…and go David Cook!
1 Comment
David Cook moved on to the finals yesterday and the Royals shut down the tigers again to be on their way to anothers sweep of them. What a great day it was for Kansas City. GO ROYALS!!!

Railroad shipping: Carload and intermodal volumes for week ending July 3 stay up
July 09, 2010
Like preceding weeks, railroad volumes for the week ending July 3 were up year-over-year and down compared to 2008, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Weekly carload volumes—at 286,777—were up 18.8 percent year-over-year and up 0.4 percent compared to 2008. This was ahead of the week ending June 26 which came in at 284,716 and the week ending June 12 at 284,913. The week ending April 24, which hit 294,218 carloads, is the highest weekly carload level since December 2008, according to the AAR.
In October 2009, the AAR began reporting weekly rail traffic with year-over-year comparisons for the previous two years, due to the fact that the economic downturn was in full effect at this time a year ago, and global trade was bottoming and economic activity was below current levels.
Carload volume in the East was up 36.8 percent year-over-year and up 5.5 percent compared to 2008. And out West carloads were up 9.5 percent year-over-year and down 2.7 percent compared to 2008.
Intermodal traffic again continued its roll—at 231,286 trailers and containers—which the AAR said was its highest output since week 42 of 2008. This passed the week ending June 26, which hit 227,229 trailers and containers and the week ending June 19 at 227,985.
As LM has previously reported rail industry stakeholders remain optimistic about railroad growth throughout the remainder of 2010. Among the things they have pointed to include increased industrial production growth in the form of manufacturing and new orders indices, as well as gradual consumer spending, among other factors, as drivers for these gains. But even though volumes are slowly recovering, they are still well below previous peak levels.
And volumes are likely to remain strong on a year-over-year basis until at least mid-summer for most of the major carload categories, wrote Avondale Partners analyst Donald Broughton in a research note.
On a year-to-date basis, total U.S. carload volumes at 7,338,963 carloads are up 7.8 percent year-over-year and down 12.9 percent compared to 2008. Trailers or containers at 5,434,892 are up 12.9 percent year-over-year and down 6.2 percent compared to 2008.
Of the 19 carload commodities tracked by the AAR, 18 were up year-over-year. Metallic ores were up 205.5 percent and motor vehicles and equipment were up 122 percent.
Weekly rail volume was estimated at 31.6 billion ton-miles, a 12.1 percent year-over-year increase. And total volume year-to-date at 775.9 billion ton-miles was up 8.5 percent year-over-year.

Video: Man Shot And Killed On L Street NW In DC
Video: Witnesses: Man Shot After Fight Outside Club In DC
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Police have identified the man who died after an early morning shooting near the Farragut North Metro Station in Northwest D.C.
Police say 24-year-old Paul Aime Tanoh Danzo of Laurel, Md. was listed in critical condition when he arrived at a local hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
The victim had been at Balletto, a nightclub on L St, NW, at a party headline by Washington Redskins wide receiver Evan Royster. Royster tweeted that he'd left hours before the shooting. And Ravens Super Bowl veteran Torrey Smith tweeted that he wasn't there at all that night, despite rumors to the contrary.
Officials say Metropolitan Police officers were called to the 1000 block of 17th Street NW at 2:39 Thursday morning for a report of a shooting. Once they arrived on scene they found a man suffering from multiple gun shot wounds inside his car. Earlier, we were told he had a gun shot wound to the head. He was taken to a local trauma center where he was pronounced dead around 3:30 a.m.
The scene is about a half block from Mayflower Hotel and four blocks from the White House. A witness told WUSA 9 Secret Service officers were the first to respond to the scene.
According to witnesses, after the club closed for the night, the victim got into a fight with the suspect outside, and the suspect walked away. Witnesses say the victim left his friends and got into his car parked around the corner. About 5 minutes later, a witness says the suspect returned, walked up to the victim's car and shot up to six times at point blank range.
Right now police do not have any specific descriptions of the suspect in the shooting, however, they are looking for a black BMW with chrome wheels.
The Metropolitan Police Department offers a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone that provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons wanted for any homicide. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at 202-727-9099 or send a text message to 50411.

After all, sorry for my english,
I want to install zimbra in my company but there is a problem with deletation of an attachement :
Zimbra does not allow to keep in memory the deletion of an attachment (fonction available in other softwares like Thunderbird, Lotus, etc..)
This indication seems important to me in order to keep the complete history of the e-mail. It will be useful in order to let the user know that there was initially an attachment with the email, and that it has been deleted afterwards.
This function will be useful for companies which want to totally virtualize the processing of the emails, but need to keep trace of them during some years, with the history of attachment management.
Is it possible to developp it ?
Thanks for your attention.

According to former ESPN scribe Chris Sheridan, Doc Rivers, fed up with being disrespected by point guard Rajon Rondo, attempted to fight the former Kentucky Wildcat after a game this past season.
Per Sheridan:
A source close to the Celtics tells Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com that Rondo dropped an F-bomb on Rivers in the locker room during a team meeting, and Rivers went after Rondo and tried to fight him before the fracas was broken up.
Rondo has always had a bit of a 'unique' personality and this isn't the first time he's mouthed off (assuming he did) or created a bit of havoc with his actions, so it will certainly be interesting to see how this all plays out.

May 24, 2016
Port Charlotte, FL (AP) - Authorities say a southwest Florida man hit a firefighter with a shovel while he was attempting to put out a fire at the suspect's home.
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office reports that 44-year-old Gregory Turner was charged Friday with aggravated battery on a firefighter with a deadly weapon.
Authorities say Turner had been yelling at the fire lieutenant to get off his property as a mattress, blinds and several home appliances burn. The firefighter went back to his truck to grab a smaller hose to extinguish the blaze. That's when authorities say Turner added more items to the fire, then grabbed a shovel, raised it over his head and hit the victim in the helmet.
Deputies shot Turner with a stun gun. He later admitted to starting the fire.

Induction Currents from Circular Coils
Application ID: 124
A time-varying current induces a time-varying magnetic field. The magnetic field induces currents in neighboring conductors. The induced currents are called eddy currents. In this model, the phenomenon is illustrated by a time-harmonic field simulation as well as a transient analysis, where the eddy currents resulting from the source being switched on are studied.
Two current-carrying coils are placed above a copper plate. They are surrounded by air, and there is a small air gap between the coils and the metal plate. The external source is applied as a current density, but the total current density in the coils is obtained only by taking the induced currents into account. The time-harmonic case will show the skin effect, that is, that the current density is high close to the surface and decreases rapidly inside the conductor.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Fall is in the air, and so is love.
According to science, your testosterone levels spike in the fall. Scientists say sperm count is lower when it's hot so statistically, people are more fertile in the fall. Birth rates peak in the late summer.
Even men apparently are more willing to catch so called 'chick flicks'. More holding hands, fewer people break up than in the summer and more people change their status to 'in a relationship or engaged' on Facebook.
Jenny Corazza says, "I'd have to agree with that because I fell in love in the fall."
Apparently, women look hotter to men this time of year.
But some say whatever the season, there's no wrong time to find love. People change their status all the time because they want to fall in love.

This was my first wxperience with Educational Insights, I bought 3 Ace Storybook Sets this Christmas, one for my daughter, one for my nephew, and one for my niece. I just got out my daughters pen and taught her how to use it. At first Ace was working for her. He barked happily when her answers were correct and gave a sad bark when they were wrong. About 10 minutes into it, she got frustrated, so I came over and tried using Ace and most of the time he was telling me the answers were wrong when they were right. Then he started telling me all the answers were wrong when they should have been right. I am very bummed because I bought 3 storybook sets and spent over $100 on this product line and can't believe that it isn't working. I guess I should have read all the reviews before buying. Thanks, Bummed Big Time.

USPS posts $8.5 billion fiscal year loss
November 12, 2010
The United States Postal Service (USPS) reported that it had a net loss of $8.5 billion for the fiscal year which ended on September 30.
USPS officials cited various factors for the loss, including "continuing economic pressures and migration to electronic media [having] a significant adverse impact on mail volumes and operating revenues. Despite rigorous initiatives that eliminated 75 million work hours and drove productivity to record highs in 2010, the losses mounted."
First-Class mail volume for the fiscal year was down 6.6 percent in FY 2010, preceded by 8.6 percent and 4.8 percent declines in 2009 and 2008, respectively. And the USPS said that Standard Mail showed some improvement but was flat year-over-year.
Due largely to an ongoing diversion to electronic alternatives, including e-mailing business documents and online purchasing orders, as well as other electronic mailing processes, the USPS has been under difficult circumstances for more than three years. It has seen mail volume drop by more than 25.6 billion pieces—or 12.7 percent—in the last fiscal year, with total volume currently at 177 billion pieces.
And in October, the USPS said it is planning to appeal the Sept. 30 ruling of the Postal Regulatory Commission denying the Postal Service exigent price request, which the PRC said "failed to justify rate increases in excess of its statutory CPI price cap."
This proposal was part of the USPS's exigent price case to raise rates filed on July 6. This case was comprised of four-to-six percent price increases for various products, including its 18 Market Dominant products.
These changes, had they been approved by the PRC, would have taken effect on January 2, 2011. When the USPS made this proposal, it said these price changes would generate $2.3 billion for the last three quarters of Fiscal Year 2011 and an estimated $3 billion for the full 12 months of Fiscal Year 2012.
The USPS also recently announced that Postmaster General and CEO John E. Potter will retire on December 3.
Potter, a 32-year USPS veteran will be replaced by Patrick R. Donahoe, Deputy Postmaster General and Chief Operating Officer. Donahoe was voted as Potter's successor by The Governors of the Postal Service and will become the 73rd Postmaster General.
The USPS also is working to restructure retiree health benefits for as many as 800,000 retirees, even though it only has an active work force of 596,000 career employees. Left uncorrected, that bill will reach $4 billion next year.
PRC officials said that the USPS may not be able to continue to meet a statutory 10-year payment schedule at an average of about $5.5 billion per year to create a fund to pay future retiree health benefit premiums. They added that the USPS has been unable to fund this obligation from operations and has used all of its retained earnings and drawn down from its $15 billion borrowing authority. And even with the requested increase, the USPS would not be able to meet this annual obligation in 2011 or subsequent years, said the PRC.
USPS officials have stated that due to this situation it is running the risk of insolvency, coupled with a massive drop in mail volume and the fact that the bulk of its costs are fixed by laws, contracts, or regulations. And Stephen M. Kearney, USPS senior vice president, Customer Relations, said during a media conference call earlier this year that the USPS' operating flexibility is severely limited right now.
"Our network is expanding by a million delivery points every year, and we are subject to a lot of legal requirements that limit our ability to reduce service commensurate with the decline in demand," he said.

Cutting-Edge Piston DesignWritten by on May 20, 2014 Contributors: JE Pistons Asymmetrical pistons improve power and longevity. Here's how they brought this race technology to the street!
Pistons play the ultimate role in an engine, but despite that, it's still hard to fully wrap your head around all the forces involved. There are plenty of moving parts in an internal combustion engine, but just ponder for a moment the shear violence a piston has to endure. An engine is an explosion-driven air pump, and it's the pistons that have to endure the blast and convert it into meaningful kinetic energy. It's fairly simple to picture the process in slow motion, but try to think about it at 6,000 rpm, or under forced-induction pressure.
It's easy to see that pistons are under an enormous amount of stress, which is why quality and design matter so much. If you look at a firing load scenario, which is a specific instance in time and crank angle when the cylinder pressure is at its peak, we have several forces acting upon the piston. The largest contributor is the cylinder pressure acting upon the piston crown and top ring groove, but the piston will also see additional loads exerted upon it due to the rod swing and rotation.
Known as the major and minor thrust faces, these are located on the side of the piston and are byproducts of the firing cycle. The load exerted on one piston skirt, referred to as the "major thrust side," (on the right side when viewing the engine from the flywheel end with the crankshaft rotating counterclockwise) can be up to 10 times higher than the load experienced by the opposing skirt, referred to as the "minor thrust side." The disparity in skirt loading varies in magnitude depending on key variables, including the engine's stroke, rod length, and peak cylinder pressure.
In a traditional design, a piston is symmetrical side to side, and the journal that holds the pin that joins the piston to the connecting rod is located in the center of the dome. That may have been the general rule, but when considering all the stresses involved it's almost never the ideal setup. It just happens to be the easiest to design and manufacture and works acceptably well in most applications.
Acceptable design isn't what we want out of components for high horsepower engines at high rpm though. While uncommon at an off-the-shelf level, asymmetrical pistons and offset pins themselves aren't a new concept; they've been employed in race series like Formula 1, ALMS, and NASCAR for decades. Asymmetrical, in this case, means that the piston skirts do not mirror one another. Combined with a correctly offset piston pin, the design offers several benefits that can create more horsepower more reliably, and even translate into extra engine longevity. As such, automobile manufacturers have taken notice of the success of such designs in racing and recently began integrating asymmetrical piston designs and offset pins in some production engines. A great example is the LS7; the OEM piston is asymmetrical!
JE recognized there was a large technology gap in the aftermarket for hot rodders and lower-tier racers, especially in the high horsepower LS market. The power level in both naturally aspirated and forced induction that has become commonplace and expected in the LS community is well into the high hundreds, and even thousands of horsepower in blown cars. The main issue JE saw here is that nearly every aftermarket LS piston was still loosely based on older small-block Chevy designs.
Opting to go with a clean sheet approach, JE decided to create a piston that exhibited benefits for all levels of LS enthusiasts. We asked JE engineer Dane Kalinowski exactly what they were considering when deciding how to approach the new pin location and asymmetrical skirts.
"We began by looking at the market's expectation for power output in the high performance community. It became clear that the expectations for reliable power are very high among LS engine builders so we set out to create a design that could perform well in that environment," Kalinowski explained. "What we do is resolve the calculated loads into our defined coordinate system—since we're interested in the piston, the origin would be at the pin centerline—and sum them according to what load scenario we are looking at. We're creating a Free Body Diagram for the piston. As the crank rotates, the pin offset is in essence preloading the major skirt face, thus reducing noise caused by the piston bouncing back and forth between the walls. This preload does increase the stress levels of the piston on the major skirt face and struts as compared to a piston without pin offset and the same loads. The resulting piston features a large skirt area on the heavily loaded major thrust side and a small skirt area on the less loaded minor thrust side. The result is a piston design that is not only better equipped for the thrust loads, but is also stronger, yet lighter, than previous designs."
According to JE, these new LS asymmetrical pistons represent the beginning of a complete shift in their engineering philosophy toward such forgings that take all such parameters into account. In essence, what JE is working toward is creating an entire lineup of consumer level pistons that have the same degree of pro-level race engineering as the best funded teams, but that the average enthusiast can buy for his project. So far, JE has added 160 new part numbers to their lineup, and more are coming. JE was kind enough to supply CAD and FEA images of the LS asymmetrical pistons, so check out the captions and photos for a more visual representation of the theory and some additional benefits to JE's asymmetrical and offset pin design.
Here's a side view of the skirt on the major thrust side of JE's asymmetrical LS piston. Note its more standard skirt design.
Compare that to the scalloped look of the minor thrust side. There's no need for the extra material here, so JE saves significant weight. This feature contributes to a weight savings around 60 grams per piston on average.
Just like each piston skirt, the piston crown is exposed to different mechanical and thermal loads in each area. The highest level of thermal (heat) and mechanical (pressure) stress is concentrated near the center of the piston crown. JE found the best way to handle these loads is to create a piston crown that is contoured according to these stress levels. In the location where stress is high (the center) the crown is thicker; in low stress areas the crown is much thinner. This design approach is one reason that JE's asymmetrical pistons are both strong and lightweight.
JE not only offsets the piston pin, they made it shorter. All JE asymmetrical pistons are designed to use a 2.250-inch wristpin while most other designs require a 2.500-inch or even 2.750-inch pin. Since wristpins are made of steel, a small reduction can make a large difference in overall weight. In most cases, the shorter wristpin reduces weight by around 10 grams per cylinder while also reducing the potential of pin flex and breakage.
This is a graphic representation of the various loads experienced by an LS7 piston referenced by degrees of crank angle. Kalinowski says, "The pin offset has a minimal effect on the side load force that acts upon the piston and is primarily a function of engine geometry, cylinder pressure, crank angle, etc. So in the LS case, there is a fixed major thrust side load and fixed minor thrust side load acting upon the piston based on the calculations. The pin offset does affect the internal piston stress though as it is a structural change."
To optimize skirt profiles for race engines, JE ran tests based around very high cylinder pressure forced-induction applications of more than 1,000 hp. For these LS pistons, they modeled a 4.100-inch stroke, 6.125-inch rod peak-firing-pressure scenario. Here we can see that major thrust load is close to 12,000N (Newtons), while the minor thrust load is barely 3,000N.
After developing an initial asymmetrical design structure in SolidWorks, JE ran the design through several iterations of finite element analysis consisting of multiple thermal and mechanical load cases. This FEA image shows stress on an asymmetrical LS major thrust face and crown.
After several refinements, JE arrived at a final design that showed reduced stress, better heat management, and high horsepower tolerance. This FEA image shows stress on an asymmetrical LS LSX minor thrust face.
JE ran prototypes of the new design in everything from 250hp turbo four-cylinder street cars to 2,000hp turbo drag cars with success. Here we see the contact pressure on the major thrust face.
But the benefits aren't just for power production; the lighter, more balanced design also resulted in a quieter piston that exhibits less slap. This is the contact pressure on the minor thrust face.
