The Cartel Next Door
Connolly, Daniel, Investigative Reporters and Editors, Inc. The IRE Journal
Mexican drug rings may have close ties to your community
The money that drug users spend in your community may be helping Mexican cartels pay their employees, bribe officials, buy weapons, and hire people to torture and kill rivals.
If you live in the United States, you can help shed light on the problem by exploring the impact of the trans-border drug trade where you live. If you don't live in the U.S., you may still be able to apply the concepts.
It makes sense to focus on Mexican trafficking organizations because their influence extends throughout the United States and beyond, and because they are causing tremendous bloodshed in Mexico. An estimated 35,000 people have died in Mexico's drug violence since President Felipe Calderón launched a crackdown in 2006, according to Associated Press reports.
I spent about 1 5 months part time researching international drug trafficking for the (Memphis) Commercial Appeal while I continued to cover the county government beat. I focused on Craig Petties, a man from Memphis who was accused of working as a high-level broker for Mexico's Beltran Leyva cartel to ship hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and more than a ton of marijuana to Tennessee and other states. Prosecutors accused him of making cell phone calls from Mexico to arrange drug shipments and to order killings in Memphis.
Mexican authorities caught him in the city of Queretaro in January 2008 and deported him to the United States. The government revealed in February of this year that Petties had secretly pleaded guilty in December 2009 to various charges, including conspiracy, drug trafficking and participation in four murders.
Our series "BloodTrade: Memphis and the Mexican Drug War," was published in the summer of 2010. (www.commercialappeal. conVblood-trade)
Finding a local focus
One of the best ways to write about the international drug business in your community is to take an in-depth look at a case that's closed or nearly closed. Learn about various cases, select one, then focus on one person within that case.
Big cases usually land in the federal courts, and the online system known as PACER can give you full-text access to filings. You can search for violations of specific drug trafficking statutes, money laundering or any other federal law by using PACER's advanced search functions or by using the nonprofit Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, (http:// trac.syr.edu)
Lise Olsen of the Houston Chronicle also suggests requesting interviews with agents at the local offices of the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and/or DEA. You can ask about closed cases similar to the ones you're working on, even though the agents may only be able to speak on background or point you to documents. Offices on the border often have agents who work with counterparts in Mexico and can suggest contacts there. Olsen also suggests meeting former federal prosecutors who have handled similar cases to learn how the legal system works.
Once you've identified a case and a person as your focus, start by reading all of the federal court documents. Olsen suggests looking for agents' affidavits, which the government uses to support search warrants or seizures of property. These documents often contain colorful nuggets that are great for narratives.
Olsen also suggests that you fully background your subject by checking property records, business licenses, liquor licenses, and state criminal and civil cases. ICE may be able to confirm if the government ever has deported your subject.
Here are some other story ideas and tips:
* Understand immigration patterns. This tip comes from Sam Quiñones of the Los Angeles Times, who wrote a 201 0 series called "The Heroin Road" about Mexican heroin traffickers active in towns such as Charlotte, N. C, and Indianapolis. Quiñones says Mexican cartels have spread throughout the country as they follow patterns of Mexican immigration. …

Jose's back! Some had begun to think that Mourinho had mellowed, during his 6 year sabbatical from The Premier League,
But he has slowly cranked up the intensity of the title race over the last fortnight by generating some fighting talk aimed at Arsenal and Manchester City.
The Chelsea boss obviously has a sniff of glory and feels that it's time to find the psychological high ground, as he has so many times over his controversial, yet highly successful career.
But if Chelsea don't win the title this season Jose won't be too frustrated. You get the feeling that he has well and truly sunk his teeth into Chelsea for the long-term and wants to build a squad in his ideal image.
This team will most probably include a new striker. Unless Mourinho can coax the best out of a Fernando Torres who seems in terminal decline, then a stellar striker will be on the cards. In response to questions from reporters about why he hadn't signed striker in January, Mourinho said:
I've said that for a couple of months. Nothing in January [for a forward]. For many people, you and our fans, people don't understand why we didn't do anything. But in the summer you will understand why we didn't do anything."
So we expect Chelsea to do a big deal for a striker in the summer. The question is who? Mourinho speaks as if a deal is already in the pipeline. Cavani, Balotelli, Hulk and other high profile strikers have been linked. But reports today suggest that Chelsea may go down a different route. The Guardian says:
Elsewhere, you'd think José Mourinho had enough on his plate, what with his relentless spat with Arsène Wenger, but, after running out of "Kick Me" stickers, he has once more turned his attention to managing a football team. That his Chelsea team is short of a centre-forward who does what centre-forwards are meant to do is well known…
….Mario Mandzukic is precisely the kind of lump to appreciate his patronage, and will be displaced this summer when Robert Lewandowski arrives in Munich.
Mandzukic, 27, has represented Croatia 46 times scoring 13 goals. He's been at Bayern Munich for a similar number of matches and scored 16 goals. He moved from Wolfsburg in 2012 for £13m Euros after netting 20 goals in 56 games.
In general, he's got a super scoring record wherever he has played. He look a like a safe bet, if not the dream signing.
Let's see the lad in action. Chelsea fans – potatoes boiled?

Valley Mirror by StevenDavisPhotoWatch
©2011-2016 StevenDavisPhoto
The Badwater Basin in Death Valley. Usually at this time of year there is no water and you get these cool shapes out in the dried up lake bed from the salt deposits, but this year due to recent rains, the area was covered in 3-5 inches of standing water. It was actually a blessing because there was a mind-blowing sunset and the super still reflections made everything look like a mirror. I was about 200 feet away from shore, out in the middle of the water with my waterproof hiking boots. It was so cool. This sunset was one of the best I've ever seen, and to see it in this kind of location was truly a blessing.

Truly dazzling and symbolic in color and forms alike!
Stunning colours and lighting. The reflections and the salt pan patters under the water really make this an excellent composition.
Wow A-m-a-z-i-n-g.
Beautiful capture. The patterns in the FG really make this one for me
Gorgeous colours! Quite a refreshing photo; very nice capture!
Amazing, you have witnessed some incredible moments..and captured with great skill.
i LOVE this!!! very nice!
We live on an amazing planet... real amazing.
This photo is amazing! Congrats on the great capture (: I agree with Aidan-Sheena. I hope one day I'll be able to take photos like this too!
This is absolutely beautiful. I hope to be able to take photos like this.
thanks. u can. make sure to learn photoshop well
This may be an awesome shot, but there's a reason park rangers placed a sign asking visitors not to enter the water. There's a species of nearly microscopic snail that lives only at badwater, and it isn't exactly doing well, even there.
i never saw any sign. my instructors usually make us follow the rules.
I've been there a couple of times, and there had been a sign. I'm pretty sure it was on the edge of the little parking lot they have there, near the ramp down. However, that said, much of the park has been subject to vandalism and theft, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if someone did something like steal the sign. I've seen weirder things. (For example, somewhere in the mountains in the park there is an old porcelain tub filled with blue glass marbles. No clue why, just stumbled on it one day)
Awesome shot, Steven!!!! I have been to Death Valley many years ago and the scenery is very beautiful out there, but at the same time, very hot and dry.
Stunning colours. Great work
Great work!!!
Nice man! Never realized this place got all that rain. Magical sunset, what nice conditions! Congrads on a gorgeous shot!
Really lovely shot!!
What happened to all the white?
I've seen other images with the salt basin covered by water but nothing quite this colorfull. I never would have guessed Death Valley. Nice shot.
I've seen other images with the salt basin covered by water but nothing quite this colorfull. I never would have guessed Death Valley. Nice shot.
Very good contrast of red! Love it!
Amazing colors, to think that Death Valley actually has water, even water like this is amazing!
Oh WOW! amazing!
Beautiful. Stunning. Amazing. Wow!
Surreal and beautiful, at the same time. Well done!
VERY nice. Well done.
love this shot
Sick colours! Glad to see you're having fun in Death Valley
Dude, Oachs wasn't kidding. It seems it was spectacular all around... Love the cloud porn! Also, the foreground is nicely chosen lines up very well with the shape of the underwater salt flat! Killer image, Steve-O!

Brian Rabell, who took part in the random and fatal attack on Matthew Chew in New London two years ago with five other teens, then cooperated in the police investigation of the case, pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of first-degree manslaughter Wednesday in New London Superior Court.
Rabell, 20, will be sentenced in February to eight years in prison followed by five years probation.
The two remaining defendants whose cases have not been resolved have received similar plea offers and are expected to plead guilty during their upcoming court appearances.
Chew, 25, a well-liked artist, disc jockey and pizza cook, was fatally stabbed on Oct. 29, 2010, as he walked home from his job at 2Wives Brick Oven Pizza.
According to prosecutor Stephen M. Carney, the six teens gathered at the home of Idris Elahi, where they decided to go out and jump somebody at random. One of the teens dared Elahi to stab the person, and when they went to bang their fists together, giving one another "dap" to seal the agreement, Rabell and Tyree Bundy told authorities they tried to break it up.
But when the teens targeted Chew on Huntington Street and surrounded him a short time later, Rabell admitted he threw a punch shortly before Elahi stabbed Chew.
Elahi, 19, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced in May to 35 years in prison. The state then began making plea offers to the other defendants based on whether they cooperated with the police investigation and participated in a court hearing on the case.
Rahshad Perry and Matias Perry, both 19, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and will be sentenced to 15-year prison sentences. Rabell was the first of the cooperating defendants to accept a plea offer involving the eight-year prison sentence. Bundy, 20, and Marquis Singleton, 19, are expected to plead guilty during their court appearances on Dec. 19 and 21, respectively.
Judge Susan B. Handy has been telling all of the defendants that she will schedule their sentences for sequential days of the week in late February or March so that Chew's parents, who live in California, can attend the proceedings.
The prosecutor and Victim Advocate Beth Ann Hess have been keeping Chew's family members apprised of the plea negotiations.
"I cannot say they endorse the recommendation by the state of Connecticut, but I can say they are aware of it," Carney said after explaining Rabell's plea deal on the record Wednesday morning.
Rabell, a 2010 graduate of Ella T. Grasso Southeastern Technical High School, had been accepted into the Marines before the incident and was scheduled to report to duty in January 2011. Testifying at a probable cause hearing in the case, he admitted he was being "a follower when he should have been a leader" on that October night and issued an apology to the Chew family.
"I just want the victim and his family to know that I didn't intend on any of this to happen," he said. "I believe I did do wrong, so whatever consequences I get, I deserve."
Standing with attorney Thomas Simones as he entered his plea agreement, Rabell kept his back straight and answered "Yes, Ma'am" and "No, Ma'am'" to a series of questions to indicate he understood the proceeding.
As he was led back to the courthouse lockup, he looked over his shoulder at his family.

Little Book of Conflict Transformation : This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict - that eternally beleaguering human situation. John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levels - person-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why "conflict transformation" is more appropriate than "conflict resolution" or "management." But he refuses to be drawn into impractical idealism. Conflict Transformation is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires "both solutions and social change." It asks not simply "How do we end something not desired?" but "How do we end something destructive and build something desired?" How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation? What disciplines make such thinking and practices possible? Lederach, now a scholar with the Joan Kroc Institute of Conflict Studies at the University of Notre Dame, writes out of his years of work in Central America, in Somalia, in Bosnia, and in Ireland. A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.

Heat try to shrug off loss, tie Bulls in Game 2
DEERFIELD, Ill. There wasn't much else LeBron James could do other than shrug it all off and vow to perform better in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Game 1 certainly didn't go well for the Miami.
With James and Dwyane Wade struggling, and the Heat getting beaten badly on the boards, Chris Bosh's 30 points weren't enough to bail out the Heat in the opener. The top-seeded Chicago Bulls won 103-82, and now have a chance to grab a commanding lead when the series resumes Wednesday night at the United Center.
"We've been able to bounce back this year no matter if it's been the regular season or the postseason," James said. "Learn from mistakes in the previous game and then move on. We've done that. We're looking forward to the challenge, we're excited about tomorrow's opportunity to be here and try to steal homecourt."
If they don't get more from James and Wade, the Heat won't get that chance and a 2-0 deficit more daunting then it sounds. The Bulls never lost more than two in a row on their way to a league-leading 62 wins and their first conference finals appearance since the second championship three-peat 13 years ago. They swept three close games from the Heat during the regular season and are off to a good start in this series.
James and Wade came in on a surge, only to have the plug pulled against one of the league's stingiest defenses.
Coming off back-to-back games with 35 and 33 points against Boston in the semifinals, James scored just 15 in the opener while hitting 5 of 15 shots. He couldn't shake Luol Deng or active big men like Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah helping out.
Wade didn't have much luck, either, after averaging 30.2 points against the Celtics. He finished with 18 points - six in the second half - and the Bulls broke it open down the stretch on their way to a lopsided victory.
"I think we've got to play better," said Deng, who scored 21 points. "I really do. We played really well. If you look at the final score, we won by a lot, but it really wasn't that kind of game. It really wasn't. It was tied at the half. They had the lead at some point in the third quarter. So there's a lot of things we've got to get better at."
He saw too many fastbreaks in the early going, some sloppy ball handling. League MVP Derrick Rose committed three of his four turnovers in the opening minutes but had none in the second half, and in many ways, it was a textbook performance by a team that held opponents to a league-low 43-percent shooting.
Sure, Miami hit just over 47 percent of its shots, but other than Bosh (12 of 18), no one else really stepped up and Miami often looked out of sync.
There was too much isolation, not enough ball movement, patience. Then again, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau pointed out Miami's ball movement often comes out of isolation.
"Miami's been a good ball-movement team all year," he said. "They have players that when the ball comes back to them, they can go one-on-one. That's what makes them so dangerous and tough to guard. Sometimes, your best ball movement comes off isolation because you have to commit two defenders to the player, and once the ball moves, now you're getting wide open shots or easier shots."
James said: "You got be patient. It's harder to attack on the front side of their defense because they load on the strong side. You've got to be able to get the ball from one side to another and then attack their defense. They got a lot of length and athleticism."

Our team has been testing our application with Selenium as it's heavily JavaScript driven we've always had issues with tests occasionally failing. As the number of tests has increased the probability of at least one two tests failing in a complete run has become a certainty.
What we recently figured out is that we probably have a race condition where selenium will click links before the initialization JavaScript has had a chance to attach event handlers to the element that is being clicked. Of course at this point the effects we're looking for don't happen and we get a failing test.
For the time being we've added a slight delay before clicks to give the initialization JavaScript code time to finish, this is obviously a bit hackish, adds time to overall test execution, and doesn't guarantee tests won't still fail so we're looking for a better solution.
The best idea we've come up with so far is to inject a hidden element into the DOM that Selenium can wait for, before firing the click event to know that it's ready. This will be a lot of extra overhead in terms of developer time when we're working our asynchronous events, removing and adding the element. Also it adds extra stuff to our pages that really isn't necessary for the application.
Does anyone have any better strategies? What have you done to effectively solve this problem?

Fire in Whitehall ends an age of palaces
Previous page:
Flight and return of James II
On the night of April 10th, 1691, a sudden and terrible fire broke out in the palace and burnt down all the buildings over the Stone Gallery at Whitehall to the water-side, beginning at the apartment of the late Duchess of Portsmouth, which had been pulled down and rebuilt no less than three times to please her.
This fire must evidently have damaged the palace considerably, but none of the state rooms seem to have suffered. Apparently little or nothing was done towards repairing this damage. William disliked Whitehall, and when in London preferred Kensington Palace, which he had built from Wren'ss designs.
In 1694 Mary the Second died there of smallpox, on the 28th of December, and on the 24th of the following January lay in state at Whitehall, but she was not finally buried at Westminster until the 5th of March.
That sad spectacle seems to have been the last that the old Palace of Whitehall witnessed, for the Thames was not much longer to reflect on its waters those ancient walls and roofs. When it perished, of all the series of palaces which had adorned the river banks none remained but Hampton Court and Windsor.
Evelyn'ss description unfortunately gives us no details, simply under the date of January 2nd, 1698, "Whitehall burnt! nothing but walls and ruins left." Only Inigo Jones'ss proud banqueting house, the fragment of a design which would have made Whitehall the finest palace of Europe, still stands to remind us of what might have been.
Some buildings in Scotland Yard and some on the opposite side of the street on the Park side, with the Holbein Gate, were the only portions of the old Palace of Whitehall which escaped the fire.
Fisher'ss plan of the Palace, dated 1680 on Vertue'ss engraving of it, but probably earlier, shows us a complicated nest of buildings most irregularly placed round small courtyards and areas. No wonder the fire made such havoc in so short a time.
After this disaster, in which so many beautiful works of art and so much costly furniture perished, the Court of our Kings was removed to St. James's Palace, and the riverside was almost deserted by them. Greenwich, the Tower, Somerset House, Whitehall, Westminster, and Richmond, all ceased to exist as palaces.
Kew, Hampton Court, and Windsor alone remain, and of these the first two have ceased to be the actual residences of our sovereigns.
The site of the burnt palace was let out on leases to various members of the aristocracy, and Whitehall Gardens, Whitehall Place, Fife House, Carrington House, Scotland Yard, Buccleugh House, Richmond Terrace, and, more recently, Whitehall Court and Whitehall Avenue, now cover the site of this once famous pile.

Create extra storage space by adding shelving in your under-stairs closet. This functional space will help to keep you organized and to conserve valuable floor space. Whether you install shelving made of wood, galvanized steel, MDF or wire shelves, shelving units will maximize the space in your home by creating a space to store many of your things.
Shoe Racks
Store your shoes by installing shoe racks in your under-stairs closet. Rows of shoe racks may be installed in your closet that can hold all kinds of shoes and even shoe boxes. This kind of shelving is different from other kinds, as it's installed with a slight downward slant. Another option for shoe racks is to install nickel or chrome rails. A pull-out shoe organizer may also be installed depending on the depth of your closet.
Shelf and Poles
Another option for under-stairs closet shelving is to install a top shelf and two horizontal poles or a single horizontal pole. This kind of shelving allows you to store different kinds of things in your closet. The top shelf allows you to store miscellaneous items that you can stack, such as storage boxes or folded sweaters. Both of the poles are ideal for hanging clothing such as jackets, short coats, shirts and pants.
Multiple Shelves
Line your under-stairs closet with multiple shelves, especially if you'll be using it to store items other than clothing. Installing shelves from top to bottom allows you to use the space to keep almost anything, including books, canned goods, small storage boxes, glassware, dinnerware, linens and towels. If the space under your stairs is large enough, shelves may also be installed in a "U" shape to maximize the use of all the walls in the closet.

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that the radio station is only available in The Episodes of Liberty City disc? I paid 20 dollars for TLAD and will be paying another 20 for TBOGT, but if I want to listen to the radio station I have to pay another twenty for a radio station and an extra game that I already own. It doesn't seem like too big of a deal at first, but why should the people who have a hard drive and already bought Lost and Damned get less features in the new game? If I had known they would release them both on a disc, I never would have bought TLAD, or a hard drive for that matter, I would have just waited. Thoughts?

Well, the new songs from TLAD carry over to GTA IV, so it might actually be the same way for EFLC.

That's what I figure. It would be a waste of their time to separate out the radio both ways when they could just have one radio that works the same in both games. It would just be simpler that way.
If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.

This Nuclear Option Is Nuclear
Will, George F., Newsweek
Byline: George F. Will
The costs of fads and superstition.
The 25 people killed last week in the West Virginia coal-mine explosion will soon be as forgotten by the nation as are the 362 miners who were killed in a 1907 explosion in that state, the worst mining disaster in American history. The costs of producing the coal that generates approximately half of America's electricity also include the hundreds of other miners who have suffered violent death in that dangerous profession, not to mention those who have suffered debilitating illnesses and premature death from ailments acquired toiling underground.
Which makes particularly pertinent the fact that the number of Americans killed by accidents in 55 years of generating electricity by nuclear power is: 0. That is the same number of Navy submariners and surface sailors injured during six decades of living in very close proximity to reactors.
America's 250-year supply of coal will be an important source of energy. But even people not much worried about the supposed climate damage done by carbon emissions should see the wisdom--cheaper electricity, less dependence on foreign sources of energy--of Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander's campaign to commit the country to building 100 more nuclear power plants in 20 years.
Today, 20 percent of America's electricity, and 69 percent of its carbon-free generation of electricity, is from nuclear plants. But it has been 30 years since America began construction on a new nuclear reactor.
France gets 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear power; China is starting construction of a new reactor every three months. Meanwhile, America, which pioneered nuclear power, is squandering money on wind power, which provides 1.3 percent of the nation's electricity: it is slurping up $30abillion of tax breaks and other subsidies amounting to $18.82 per megawatt-hour, 25 times as much per megawatt-hour as the combined subsidies for all other forms of electricity production.
Wind power involves gargantuan "energy sprawl." To produce 20 percent of America's power by wind, which the Obama administration dreamily proposes, would require 186,000 tall turbines--40 stories tall, their flashing lights can be seen for 20 miles--covering an area the size of West Virginia. The amount of electricity that would be produced by wind turbines extending the entire 2,178 miles of the Appalachian Trail can be produced by four reactors occupying four square miles of land. …

HESPERIA: 600-gallon acid spill forces truck stop evacuation (UPDATE)
1 of 2More Galleries
Hydrochloric acid apparently leaked from a truck in the fueling area of the Pilot Truck Stop, 8701 Highway 395, on Monday, Dec. 16, 2013. (S.B. COUNTY FIRE/CONTRIBUTED IMAGE)
A 600-gallon acid spill triggered the evacuation of a truck stop that serves two major highways through the high desert city of Hesperia near the top of Cajon Pass.
The spill was reported at 4:53 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16, at Pilot Truck Stop, 8701 Highway 395, about a mile north of the junction with Interstate 15.
Hydrochloric acid leaked from a truck in the fueling area, Dispatch Supervisor Scott Fanus said from the San Bernardino County Fire Department communications center in Rialto.
Shortly after 8 p.m., crews announced that the spill had been stopped and the remaining contents of a 50,000-gallon tanker truck had been transferred to other trucks.
But officials said the truck stop would remain evacuated throughout the cleanup, though they provided no estimate on how long that would take. [mappress mapid="780"]

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — The only nuclear power plant in Washington is coming back on line after the longest outage in its 26-year history.
Energy Northwest says the reactor near Richland went critical on Monday and the Columbia Generating Station could be supplying power to the regional electrical grid on Saturday.
The Tri-City Herald reports (http://bit.ly/nYRl0H) the electricity sold to utilities through the Bonneville Power Administration is worth more than $1 million a day.
The reactor shut down April 6 for refueling that is scheduled every two years and to replace the plant's condenser, which turns steam back into water. The work was to be finished in June but the condenser replacement took longer than expected.

Behexen -- Austin, TX -- July 1st, 2014
Wrathful Dragon Hau-Hra
Under the Eye of the Lord
Sota valon jumalaa vastaan
Temple of the Silent Curses
By the Blessing of Satan
Mouth of Leviathan
Celebration of Christs Fall
My Soul for His Glory
Deaths Black Light
Austin was lucky enough to be one of the few US cities to be graced (or damned?!) by the presence of Finnish black metal acts Behexen and Sargeist on their brief stint of shows following the Martyrdoom festival in New York. This first of two nights would see Behexen headlining with Mexican war metallers Morbosidad as direct support and San Antonio black death band Hod in the opening slot. Doors opened at 9 and when I arrived to Red 7 about 9:30 there was already a small horde of fans swarming the merch area. Behexen and Sargeist had merch for their bands, plus also some leftover merch from fellow Martyrdoom performers One Tail, One Head and a Mournful Congregation patch. Morbosidad had a shirt and some vinyl and of course there was a table of bootleg shirts from South of the border.
Hod started promptly at 10 and when they began the room was about a quarter full, but as they played on more and more black t-shirts made their way in. With these Austin dates being the only Texas shows for Behexen and Sargeist people obviously were in from Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Point being, there were many in attendance very familiar with Hods material. The same went for Mexicos bullet-belted and spike-clad Morbosidad. I think the room may have actually reached peak attendance during their set. I dont know enough Spanish to tell you anything about the stage banter or what the crowd was yelling, but their performance was vicious enough to turn the pit into a battlefield. As always with Morbosidad, by then end of their set the floor was scattered with burnt bible pages and ringing ears a plenty.
Shortly after midnight Behexen walked onto the stage with all members, except for drummer Horns, wearing hooded robes. The guitar and bass wielding members also had a ninja-like cloth across their faces leaving only their eyes exposed. With a small altar placed in from of the drum kit vocalist Hoath Torog faced the altar with his back to the audience, his band mates circling around the altar. He lit some incense and candles before opening a book and reading some verses into the microphone and then offering a chalice to each band member that they drank from before taking their places and launching into a entrancing set of ritualistic black metal. It took a couple songs for the sound guy to get the levels to a good place, but once things were zeroed in everything clicked and the band sounded great. The rabid fans went wild for cuts like By The Blessing of Satan and Celebration of Christs Fall. By the time Behexens set wound down the crowd had thinned, but many stayed to the bitter end. Closing with the ripping track Deaths Black Light ensured everyone will be hungry for more black metal on night two with Sargeist headlining.
Pissed off because they are playing here on July fricking fourth (who does that?!) and I have the mother in law in town.

Vt. senators push for Saturday mailStaff Report | February 13,2013Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.

Hi there!
I am just beginning to develop my makeup geekyness so there are a lot of questions I would like to ask you guys.
Should the makeup color (especially eyeshadows) match your clothing?
Let's say I have an orange dress… could I wear green on my eyes?
I am planning to wear a black and white dress for christmas and would like some ideas for the makeup.
Your makeup doesn't have to match; it just has to go with it.

2 orders from their on line store and both were late arriving and were used/returns. One item completely inoperable, the other item covered in fish scales, but still functional. If I wanted a questionable used item I would have bought from an auction site.
This is a very good store to check out.
Love your products!

Everyone has it. The first time you're playing through a game and you just can't figure out what to do, right? Then you look it up and you face palm really hard. Then you come back to play through the game again (Or maybe watch someone else play it, or even something from another a game that reminds you of it.) then that moment comes back to you.
For me it happens all the time, especially in Metroid or Zelda games. My favorite one is from Metroid Prime 3 when you go to Bryyo Ice and an AU tries to contact you but the signal doesn't make it through the atmosphere, and I got scared for a bit, then when I got to the screw attack I couldn't figure out how to get off the platform. When I figured it out I felt so stupid. Now whenever I play any Prime game and I get to play like Bryyo Ice I'll always think about that and laugh at myself.
How about everyone else?
I walk on wounds that seldom proves to slow me down.
I laugh this constant pain away
so you can tell but there it lies under the smile.

FREE Starbucks K-Cups From Target!
You can get a FREE Starbucks K-Cups sample from Target!
You have to see if you qualify.
I think it's messed up though – because when I said I had purchased K-Cups in the past – it said I didn't qualify. But, then I went back and said I have not purchased them and it let me go thru and then proceeded to ask me about how often and where I had purchased them in the past! lol
So, I think you have to say you haven't purchased them – it must be messed up

DeLand -- Recent Stetson University graduates Amanda Bartholomew and Joshua Miller have had their senior research published in the prestigious Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics.
The national academic journal of politics publishes four articles each semester and received more submissions than ever for its Spring 2008 edition. Political science Professor Anne Hallum, adviser to Stetson's chapter of the Pi Sigma Alpha honorary fraternity of political science, submitted Bartholomew and Miller's research articles.
Miller, son of Julian and Paula Miller of Crescent Beach, graduated from Stetson in July 2007 with degrees in political science and English. He attributes the success of the article to his professors.
Miller's article is titled "Toward Critical Citizenship: A Study of Citizenship, Legitimacy, and Civic Education." The piece "argued that existing civic education curricula fail to foster the critical thinking skills necessary for participation in democratic regimes," he said. "Consequently, citizens are not able to fully legitimize their government. Thus, our legitimation crisis.
"Dr. Gary Maris was my adviser, critic and mentor for this project; he was great," Miller said. "Whether or not they realize it, Dr. John Pearson was profoundly influential for his pedagogical guidance and Dr. Bill Nylen's critiques of my thoughts early in the project were also tremendously helpful."
Miller is now in the doctoral program at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where he is studying political theory and international relations.
Status studies
Bartholomew's article is titled "A Case Study of Accessibility to Health Care for Migrant Farm Workers."
"My article explored vulnerabilities, such as legal status, economic status and language barriers, as they apply to migrant farm workers in Volusia County in accessing the healthcare system," she said. "I conducted surveys in Spanish within the community and discovered that such vulnerabilities do exist. In addition, I found that many individuals surveyed understand what Medicaid is but do not have the services of Medicaid. Thus, there are many people within our community who do not seek the treatment they need and do not have the services available to help them."
Bartholomew, daughter of Larry and Jan Bartholomew of Tarpon Springs. graduated from Stetson in May with majors in Spanish and political science. She currently lives in Madrid, Spain, where she teaches English to kindergarteners. In the future, she hopes to earn a master's degree in public health and work in immigrant health or healthcare policy.
Celebrating its 125th anniversary, Stetson University is an independent, private university in the liberal arts tradition.
The university's College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration and School of Music are housed on the historic main campus in DeLand, located between Orlando and Daytona Beach. The university also includes the Stetson University Center at Celebration, near Orlando, and two Stetson University College of Law campuses in Tampa Bay.

Marcus Smart says through Twitter that he's yet to make a decision on his NBA future
By Anthony Slater – email@example.com - @anthonyVslater
Despite recent rumblings both ways, those closest to Marcus Smart have indicated that the talented freshman guard has yet to decide whether he would declare for the NBA Draft.
Finally, Smart came out and said it himself, through Twitter, providing the most credible source of information on his thinking yet:
Smart and his family were scheduled to meet with OSU coach Travis Ford at some time on Friday, likely discussing the pros and cons of both sides.
Some expect the decision to come at some point early next week, potentially in a press conference. But nothing is in concrete.

ATLANTA (AP) _ The Reverend Creflo Dollar, who is under investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing, says his megachurch took in $69 million last year.
Dollar says he released World Changers Church International's finances in response to the Senate investigation that targets him and five other well-known televangelists.
But he says his salary comes personal investments, including businesses and real estate ventures.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, began the investigation this week after he received tips about preachers who ride in Rolls Royces and have purportedly paid $30-thousand dollars for a conference table.
Grassley sent letters to the half-dozen Christian media ministries earlier this week requesting answers by December 6 about their expenses, including use of fancy cars and private jets.
Dollar says while he understands the senator's worries, he questioned the investigation's focus on religious groups.

A couple whose city was leveled in the recent New Zealand earthquake is now staying with their daughter in Carteret County.
Julie McSwain says her parents Bob and Shirley Phillips are now with her after Christchurch was devastated by the earthquake a little over three weeks ago.
The Phillips say they will go home to pick up the pieces, but they aren't sure if they will continue to live in Christchurch, partly because they fear there could be another earthquake.
The Phillips also say although they are going through their own tragedy, they can't help but think of Japan.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State linebacker Nate Irving is recovering from surgery after being hurt in a car crash.
A WakeMed Trauma Center spokeswoman said Irving was in good
condition Monday after surgery Sunday night. Irving was hospitalized with a broken leg and a collapsed lung after running his vehicle off the road at 4:40 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 40 in Johnston County.
State troopers think Irving might have fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into two trees. Irving has been charged with careless and reckless driving.
It's unknown if Irving will be able to play this season. The junior was an honorable mention all-Atlantic Coast Conference player last year despite missing one-third of the season because of injuries.

For those of you who are in San Diego this week for ASHG 2014, here are a few pointers to GATK-related opportunities: two workshops, one open demo session, a poster on RNAseq analysis (today!) and of course the Appistry booth. Ami Levy-Moonshine (@ami on the forum), who is our resident RNAseq expert, will be representing the GATK team throughout the conference. Details below the fold in somewhat chronological order.
Ami is presenting poster #1054S today (Sunday) from 5-6 pm (Convention Center, Exhibit Hall, Ground Level). He will cover the GATK Best Practices for RNAseq analysis, as well as an application of the workflow to a study of expression levels in autistic brains done by Alal Eran and collaborators.
We are part of a network of developers of genomic analysis tools called iSeqTools sponsored by NHGRI. Representatives of each group in the network (including our own Ami Levy-Moonshine) will be teaching a workshop on Monday (12:30-2pm, room 24/upper level). The workshop will present the network and demonstrate how the tools can be leveraged to perform genome analysis on the cloud.
Registration is required and the workshop is sold out, but there will be a hands-on demo session in the evening in the same room from 6:30-8pm that will be free and open to all comers. Please feel free to come ask questions!
Our licensing partner, Appistry, will be present in the exhibits hall. Be sure to swing by if you have any questions about licenses for commercial use of GATK, commercial support and so on. Ami will be at the Appistry booth Monday 3-4pm to answer questions (open to all, not just commercial customers).
Ami will be giving a super-condensed 90-minute version of our popular workshop series on the GATK Best Practices on Tuesday (12:30-2pm, room 24/upper level). Again, registration is required and the workshop is sold out, but we'll post the slides online, and this can be an opportunity to meet up with Ami after the workshop.
This workshop was organized with the help of Ben Neale, who will be present to introduce the workshop. Ben just got back from the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics conference in Copenhagen where received an award from the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics for his exceptional published work on psychiatric genetics, so we're very excited to have him in our corner.
Here's my abstract for the upcoming Genome Science UK meeting in Oxford, where I'll be talking about our hot new workflow for variant discovery. The slide deck will be posted in the Presentations section as usual after the conference.
Variant discovery is greatly empowered by the ability to analyse large cohorts of samples rather than single samples taken in isolation, but doing so presents considerable challenges. Variant callers that operate per-locus (such as Samtools and GATK's UnifiedGenotyper) can handle fairly large cohorts (thousands of samples) and produce good results for SNPs, but they perform poorly on indels. More recently developed callers that operate using assembly graphs (such as Platypus and GATK's HaplotypeCaller) perform much better on indels, but their runtime and computational requirements tend to increase exponentially with cohort size, limiting their application to cohorts of hundreds at most. In addition, traditional multisample calling workflows suffer from the so-called "N+1 problem", where full cohort analysis must be repeated each time new samples are added.
To overcome these challenges, we developed an innovative workflow that decouples the two steps in the multisample variant discovery process: identifying evidence of variation in each sample, and interpreting that evidence in light of the evidence gathered for the entire cohort. Only the second step needs to be done jointly on all samples, while the first step can be done just as well (and much faster) on one sample at a time. This decoupling hinges on the use of a novel method for reference confidence estimation that produces a genomic VCF (gVCF) intermediate for each sample.
The new workflow enables fast, highly accurate and computationally cheap variant discovery in cohort sizes that were previously intractable: it has already been applied successful to a cohort of nearly one hundred thousand samples. This replaces previous brute-force approaches and lowers the threshold of accessibility of sophisticated cohort analysis methods for all, including researchers who do not have access to large amounts of computing power.
Ladies, gentlemen and everyone else (this is a judgment-free zone), it's officially summertime in the norther hemisphere. Depending on who and where you are, this can mean no more classes, no more exams, and more quality time with your loved ones -- or extra expense getting someone to keep your offspring out of your way (hello summer camp). It is that hallowed time of year when academics put down the burdens of teaching and administrative duties and can finally get some science done. For many, it also means conference season, e.g. meeting up in Spain with a bunch of colleagues to argue about obscure methodological details over many a glass of tinto de verano. It's a hard, hard life.
A group of us just got back from sunny Belgium* where we held a GATK workshop at the invitation of the Royal Institute for Natural Sciences in Brussels. Now we're looking ahead to the next big dates on the horizon, and I thought I'd share them here in case some of you can join us. Or in case you would like to invite us over to give talks or workshops... (seriously, private-message me if you're interested in hosting a GATK workshop).
* This is not irony, it was really beautiful the whole time. Until the two non-Belgians left, and then boom! Downpour for three days. Typical.
As you can see below, our dance card is all clear for the summer itself but starting September it gets pretty busy.
I will be attending the Genome Science meeting in Oxford, UK, and giving a talk in the Bioinformatics Infrastructure session.
Mauricio Carneiro and David Roazen will be attending this C++ development conference, and Mauricio will be presenting a talk titled "Gamgee: A C++14 library for genomics data processing and analysis". What this means for GATK-based development, well... happy speculating :)
The Center for Genetics and Complex Traits (CGACT) and the Institute for Biomedical Informatics (IBI) of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine are hosting our workshop. The workshop crew will consist of Eric Banks, Sheila Chandran and myself. See this announcement for more details.
Ami Levy-Moonshine will be attending the ASHG meeting in San Diego, California, and giving a compressed version of our Best Practices workshop on Tuesday 10/21 (separate registration required). Ami will also represent us in the iSeqTools workshop on cloud-based analysis on Monday10/20.
Due to scheduling constraints, we were unable to make this workshop happen, but we have tentative dates for March 2015 (3/19-3/20).
This list will be updated with any new events up to December 2014.

Update from Hyde County officials is below.
A mandatory evacuation has been issued for all visitors and residents of Ocracoke as of 5 AM on Wednesday, September 1. The hurricane watch for this area has been upgraded to a hurricane warning for mainland Hyde and Outer Banks Hyde. Hurricane Earl is expected to impact the Outer Banks coast, including Ocracoke Island. It is a current Category 4 Hurricane with intensity of 145 mph winds. Seas may peak at 30 feet Thursday night and into Friday morning. We are expecting hurricane force (74 mph) sustained winds with gusts up to 90 mph in the Ocracoke area after midnight and possibly extending until dawn and tropical storm force wind gusts on the mainland. Overnight mainland Hyde county winds are expected to reach tropical storm force overnight with gusts up to 60 mph.
Winds will begin to be a serious threat to Ocracoke by 4 PM today.
There is a potential 1-3 foot storm surge for Swan Quarter and Engelhard and a 3-5 foot storm surge for Ocracoke. Rainfall amounts for Ocracoke Island are projected at 3-5".
The NC Ferry system is operating on a first-come, first-serve basis for all vehicles open to Hatteras and Swan Quarter pending road conditions in those receiving counties. The Cedar Island ferry will not run again until the storm has passed. The Swan Quarter ferry will resumed service at 6 AM today and will likely cease operation at 9AM. The Hatteras ferry will run as long as weather allows. Schedules and toll collections are suspended during the evacuation order. All island residents and tourists must leave immediately. Evacuation routes may not be available after mid-morning on Thursday. Residents on Ocracoke and the mainland in mobile homes or substandard housing are
encouraged to seek proper shelter.
Emergency services, government agencies, commercial vendors delivering essential groceries and supplies, and permanent residential traffic as indicated by purple and green stickers will be allowed on the island via air and marine traffic. The State Highway Patrol shall restrict access without appropriate credentials. Before leaving, residents and guests in this area should take precautions such as moving cars and equipment to higher ground. Please pick up potential debris that could become unsecure during the storm.
People with medical needs and unique situations are urged to consider their options. All Hyde County public safety services will cease after winds reach 50 mph sustained. Pay attention to Highway 12 on Ocracoke and Hatteras islands as overwash may make the route impassable.
