D's online creative director Stephen Edmondson sent me word of a fascinating new take-out trend: Woody B.'s boil-in-bag BBQ. Just throw the bag in boiling water and you have BBQ in 15 minutes.
Read all of our latest online content in one place.
Making Dallas Even Better
D's online creative director Stephen Edmondson sent me word of a fascinating new take-out trend: Woody B.'s boil-in-bag BBQ. Just throw the bag in boiling water and you have BBQ in 15 minutes.
Unreal. I am not sure if it is the boiling bags or just a great meat product, but this is the best BBQ joint in north Dallas. The meat comes out of the boiling bags hot and extremely tender, and the mesquite-smoked flavor is unmatched. You have to give this joint a shot. All it takes is 15 minutes…could not be any easier.
It is quite awesome. It is the best Texas BBQ I have ever tasted, and I thank the good LORD for it.
In addition to the beef, don't miss the smoked salmon. In fact, this will be the first time you've ever had smoked salmon. Anything you've tried in the past will be rendered meaningless once this touches your tongue.
Seeking a new comfort food? The smoked chicken macaroni and cheese will lead to tears of unadulterated joy.
We do this all the time @ home with the foodsaver for pulled pork, ribs, smoked turkey. Great way to a quick bbq meal for the family during the week – with no hassles. I need to go over and try the products.
I agree, this place is awesome. Just got back from Lockhart Smoke Shop the day before, then tried Woody's. The Ribs at Woody's is MUCH better, and the chicken is just as good. Woody's and Lockhart Smoke Shop are easily the 2 best smoked chicken places in the city, maybe in Texas…. Seriously, they are both that good.
I didn't love Woody's bbq sauce, but it didn't need it. Their potato salad was pretty good too.
It is basically festive kitchen (which is just down the road) for barbecue…. and it is soooooo good.
I haven't tried this BBQ but two years running Stephan Pyles did his take-away Thanksgiving dinner with almost everything vacuum wrapped and it was lovely. I just microwaved everything, except for dressing and rolls, and it was fantastic.
My Mom cooked like this when I was growing up. Now the "Best Chefs" do it and charge a lot of money and call is "sous vide"!

The range is also very large and open during the evenings, so I usually make a trip a few times a week. Keep it up Gpp! – Peter R.

Eco-lodge proposed for Islamorada in Florida Keys
A Coral Springs developer is proposing to build a sports-fishing eco-lodge in the Village of Islamorada in the Florida Keys.
Fort Lauderdale-based design firm EDSA has come up with eco-designs to develop roughly 7.5 acres owned by Coral Springs developer and sportsman Bert Vorstman.
The land is located at Mile Marker 83 between the Overseas Highway and the ocean side of the Old Highway.
Plans call for about 60 guest bedrooms clustered in buildings around a main eco-lodge, a statement said.
The project was scheduled to be presented to the Village of Islanmorada this afternoon.
Plans include improved stormwater control, with natural filtration systems and enhanced tree canopy; energy-efficiency in lighting, heating and buildings; solar-power; recycling; and fuel-efficient vehicles, among other features.
The developer also will seek to improve ecosystems on the property, which include impacted hardwood hammock, disturbed wetlands, impacted dunes as well as mangrove, sand beach and submerged shorelines.
The EDSA design team has been working in eco-tourism design for years, in places as diverse as China, Africa, South America and Hawaii.

India's justice-Rape victim put behind bars!
The following is from:
India's justice-Rape victim put behind bars!
It was a queer case of the victim being victimised. A minor Dalit girl was
allegedly kidnapped and raped by a BSP MLA. That's not all, as if adding to
insult to injury, the rape victim was accused of stealing cash and clothes
and put behind bars by the very people who perpetrated such heinous crime on
the under-aged girl.
The rape accused is an MLA from Banda in Uttar Pradesh, Purshottam Narain
Dwivedi. He apparently accused the girl of dire consequences if she made his
deeds public. "I was severally beaten by the MLA's goons when I threatened
to expose his deeds. He also said that I would rot in the jail if I exposed
him," the minor girl was quoted as saying.
Dwivedi has dismissed all allegations against him and countered his stand by
falsely implicating the girl on theft charges.
Women activists have taken up the cause and has started an indefinite hunger
strike in front of the police station. "The MLA must be arrested forthwith
and proceeded against," said Devmala Kushwaha, one of the activists.
The following is from:
Congress leader to meet Uttar Pradesh Dalit rape victim
Lucknow, Dec 29 - Uttar Pradesh Congress president Rita Bahuguna Joshi said
Wednesday she will visit a Dalit girl who was jailed after accusing a ruling
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator of Banda district of raping her.
'It is a matter of shame that a Dalit girl has been raped by a ruling party
MLA (member of legislative assembly) and a Dalit woman chief minister, who
claims to champion the cause of the downtrodden, has turned a blind eye to
the whole affair,' Joshi told reporters here.
'I am going to Banda to meet the girl in jail and we will mobilise a huge
protest unless the culprit is put behind bars and the girl is released,' she
The girl had alleged last week that Purshottam Narain Dwivedi had raped her.
But she found herself behind bars after the legislator lodged a theft case
against her.
Local Congress legislator Vivek Kumar Singh had earlier staged a dharna to
protest against the case in Banda, some 180 km from here.

Designer Angel Myers showcased her newest collection at Christian Fashion Week 2014 tonight that was held in Tampa, Florida for the second year in a row.
Angel was the only plus size designer on the show. Her resort/evening wear collection was very colorful and cohesive. She added a few printed pieces to the almost all solid colors collection and adorned it with beautiful accessories.
Angel is based out of Miami, Florida and she has shown collections at Full Figured Fashion Week in New York and LS1426's Fashion Week in Miami as well.
Her motto is "True Style has no Size". Since launching her line in 2009 the reception has been positive and overwhelming. She found her niche by catering to plus size women that don't want to look matronly or wear club type clothing.
Take a look at pictures from her collection in the slideshow and tell us what you think, leave your comments.

The same attributes that amazing athletes possess—confidence, coachability, focus, hustle, and commitment—are the same attributes that an entrepreneur must have (if the plan is to run a profitable and thriving business). And no matter what you've been told or thought about business in the past, two things make a business successful, sales and self-satisfaction. 10 times out of 10, you're not going to be satisfied without sales. It's the life blood of your business. Without them, you don't have one.
And who do you sell to? That's right, people – customers, clients, investors, partners, vendors – all people, all contacts. So, where are these people coming from? How are you attracting them? Are you closing sales like you desire to close sales?
Contacts – Communications – Conversations – Cash, they go together like cabbage and cornbread. And if you're from the South, you know what I'm talking about. A clear branding strategy, requires a clear communications strategy (also known to MOST as a marketing strategy). This brings me to WHY I encourage you to play like a girl. Our ability to communicate and connect makes us PERFECT for this "game". Who's better at either one of those than women? Sure, there are many men who are great at it too, but it comes more natural for us gals.
Listen, we're in the throws of second quarter, and whether you met or exceeded your first quarter goals, or didn't manage to make one sale…well, as the saying goes…"It ain't how you start; it's how you finish." I'm sure you are well aware that this entrepreneurship game is NOT for wimps. And trust me, you don't want to play without a game plan – a solid, track-able, measurable, tested game plan.
June 30th is exactly the halfway point of the year and we will transform the Indigo Hotel RTP (Durham, NC) into our
2013 Women Entrepreneur's Locker Room. And we're doing things a little different this year.
Who's invited?
(I'm inviting 50 women ONLY to meet me at the 50 yard line.)
If you are an independent womenpreneur currently in business full time, part time or all the time, you're invited.
If you have never experienced the difference a business coach REALLY makes, you're invited.
If you are committed to CREATING success on purpose, you're invited.
If you need motivation to win, you're invited.
What's my investment?
For my fellow FLY football fans, that's ONE DOLLAR PER YARD. Just $1 to get you from start to finish – ENDZONE to ENDZONE. This is why I have to cap attendance at 50. At this price, there will be an overflow. And I only want the women who are sure of their decision to succeed in business. Those who are serious AND act fast will get in!
What will I learn?
I'll be teaching, along with my co-coach for the year (more on that later)…
- Exactly how to create the steps to build a solid strategy
- Exactly how conversations and cash are connected
- What to say that will attract your real target market. (Not the ones who will pat you on the back and tell you how fabulous you are. But the ones who are willing to pay you…period.)
- The real meaning of profit potential
- And not for nothing, but you'll also learn A LOT about football (if you don't already), of which I am a HUGE fan. It's hands down my favorite sport to watch and I've applied many of its principles to business. And what better time to learn the fundamentals of American Football than in the off season so you'll be prepared for the Fall. Just saying.
What will I get?
Each attendee will get a playbook that we will customize during our time together. This playbook will serve as your roadmap to getting MORE clients in the door (whether it's live or online) and creating more sales. The playbook will also include a ton of resources, such as sample emails, a list of key words and phrases, articles and MORE!
Why should I come?
You have NOTHING to lose. I'm putting my 100% satisfaction guaranteed stamp on it. If you are not converting enough conversations into cash today, I promise that you are leaving money on the table – FAR more than your 5-hour, $1 per yard investment in this experience. And by the time you put time and resources into finding out this information on your own, it will have cost you FAR more than $100, not including the sweat, tears, frustration and lost sleep. If you don't leave with more knowledge and understanding about communications and sales, strategy awareness and motivation to keep GROWing, I'll GIFT you a VIP day ($2200). So, ALL the risk is on me.
FYI! Last year, we had an attendee that had yet to make one sale the entire year. She made connections and tripled her income before we even left the building. She was the only one standing in her way and gathered the courage to ASK for the sale.
So what's different this year?
Hey! I thought you'd NEVER ask!
Well, this year…
- It's midday: noon to 5pm. In the past it's been a morning event. But this year, HALFTIME happened to fall on a Sunday. I don't know about you, but I'm sort of in LOVE with my Sunday mornings, so we've pushed it back to midday, for selfish reasons. I didn't think you would mind. And instead of breakfast, you'll get lunch. But that won't make a BIT of difference to the impact of the experience – pinky promise. 😉
- We're adding the "Hot Seat". If you're familiar with my Coaching Huddle, this is a LIVE version of that – "Hot Seat" style – quick and laser focused. It's your chance to ask whatever you want Not everyone will have an opportunity to participate, but those who do will not regret it!
- And last but certainly not least…our 2013 Co-Coach, who I am SUPER excited to welcome into the Locker Room this year…

This question already has an answer here:
In mathematics we can have an infinite number of points between two integers.
This is really circular logic since a point is defined as infinitely small.
Does a point exist anywhere in the physical world or is it simply a convenient mathematical abstraction with no place in reality.
Is space actually divided into infinitely small points? What about time?

text: Engineering program a passport to great things By Richard CairneyMay 17, 2013 Print Share Annika Palm is looking forward to a career in environmental engineering, after learning to say 'yes' to the unexpected at school. Edmonton—The University of Alberta is considered to have a fairly large geographic area with the North Campus alone covering 50 square blocks. Yet Annika Palm went well beyond those boundaries, managing to travel thousands upon thousands of kilometres en route to her degree in environmental engineering. During her first year of studies Palm, who grew up in the small town of Rimbey, Alberta, travelled to Hamilton, Ontario with the Faculty of Engineering's Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race team. During her second year, she worked in the far North as an instructor with the faculty's DiscoverE engineering, science and technology outreach program in Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvik, and at Fort Chipewyan, in northern Alberta. As a Junior Fellow with the U of A chapter of Engineers Without Borders, she ventured to Malawi on an international development exchange; she also attended EWB retreats in Calgary and Rocky Mountain House. The kilometres she logged are emblematic of her academic journey as well—Palm admits she didn't know much about engineering until about the second year of her program. As a Grade 12 student she attended the faculty's open house and chatted with students in EWB and on the GNCTR team, who helped fill in some of the blanks. "I started getting the idea from them that engineering is more than crunching numbers behind a desk, that you can apply it in a number of ways, and I went into engineering thinking that in the end I probably didn't want to do engineering, but I did want to do something challenging and engineering was going to be a solid foundation for anything," she said. That changed. "When I began studying environmental engineering, I got pretty excited and discovered there was maybe more to this work than I thought." Palm says the more she explored, the more she discovered there is to engineering. "I kept coming across all these opportunities and embracing them and pursuing them," she said of her active extra-curricular student life. "It's amazing how quickly one opportunity leads to another. I knew zero people when I started here and as soon as you get involved with something, you start meeting people. "I've been asked what I would do if I could start university all over again and I would still take environmental engineering." After taking the summer off, Palm will be joining Urban Systems, an engineering consulting firm. As an engineer in training, Palm expects she will be exposed to a wide variety of engineering challenges. And she feels prepared to meet them. If she has any advice for students entering the Faculty of Engineering it is to get involved with whatever interests you. "Before I started, I heard a lot of people saying: 'Oh engineering is really hard.' So I came in slightly terrified and I think it might have helped if I had come in with more confidence and less fear. I'd advise people to keep an open mind and be willing to say 'yes' to different opportunities."

Ed Sheeran's consecutive weeks atop the U.K. album charts reached eight weeks Sunday. His sophomore album, X, was already the longest-running album atop the charts since Adele's 21 in 2011. The singer tied James Blunt as the longest chart-topper by a male solo artist. Blunt accomplished this feat for his 2005 collection, Back to Bedlam.
According to the new Official Charts Company survey, Sheeran counties to hold off Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour, which retracted from No. 3 to No. 2, trading places with Blue Smoke—The Best Of Dolly Parton. The accomplishment further highlights Sheeran's rise to stardom in the world of music and entertainment.
The "Lego House" singer received a special shout out from Justin Timberlake during his recent Hylands Park headline set at V Festival. After performing his classic hit "Cry Me A River," Timberlake turned to the crowed to make some noise for Sheeran and all the acts that performed prior to him. But he specially pointed out Sheeran who he called his "brother from another red-headed mother." He then called the rising star a "bad mother**ker!"
The praise from Timberlake has fans of both stars wondering if there could be a future collaboration in the works. Before JT's performance, Sheeran did share his admiration of Timberlake. He said:
I always find situations like that make you up your game. Because he's such an established act and great live performer, I know I'm going to bring an extra amount of energy to that performance. I feel like I perform best when there's competition."
A budding bromance seems to be on the horizon. In the meantime, Sheeran is preparing to launch his North American tour. Although he feels he's not a household name in America yet, he plans to give his audiences something to remember. He told USA Today in an interview published on Sunday, "It's going to be entertaining if you're a fan, and it's going to be surprising if you're not." Ed Sheeran may soon be a household name all over the world, especially with number one fans like Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift.

10 Times to Go Commando
Here at The Underwear Expert, we rarely promote non-underwear wearing. Jocks, briefs, trunks – there are so many great styles of undergarments that we have trouble imagining wanting to go without. With over 300 underwear brands in the world producing a nearly infinite combination of colors, fabrics and looks, we'd rather focus on trying as many pairs as we can rather than wasting our days sans-undergarment. All that being said, there are a few times when we think it's appropriate to go commando. We've listed ten of those opportunities below. Check out our list, and let us know when you think its OK to go commando.
10. Swimwear
This one might be too obvious, but it's a point worth making. That trend of wearing underwear under your swimwear? We're not huge on it. Ideally, your swimwear would be comfortable and stylish enough to wear without undies.
9. Laundry Day
We think it's best to wear underwear, but we hate the thought of wearing it two days in a row. In this instance, going commando is the lesser of two evils.
8. Certain Athletics
Are you a runner? A biker? A wrestler? Some sports come with their own special garments and don't require underwear.
7. You're Michelangelo's David
If you happen to be the most famous sculpture in Florence, you don't need briefs.
6. You're Jon Hamm
Yeah he should really wear underwear, but he's Jon Hamm. So whatever.
5. Pajamas
The whole point of sleepwear is to keep you modest and comfortable while you snooze. Don't want to wear underwear? Don't worry about it.
4. Hospitals
Doctors know what they're doing. If you're wearing a hospital gown, there's a good chance trying on a new jock isn't a high priority.
3. Sarongs
You don't need to wear undies if you're rocking a sarong. Go big or go home!
2. Kilts
A true Scotsman wouldn't wear anything beneath his kilt. You are a true Scotsman, aren't you?
1. You're a superhero
If you're a superhero, you don't have to wear underwear beneath your spandex. If you're Superman, however, we still recommend you wear red briefs.

When you need work done on your car, the sea of available repair shops can be confusing to the average consumer. With independent shops, large chains, and dealership service departments in every part of town, there are so many to choose from, and all have their own benefits and drawbacks.
The best place to start is by evaluating your specific needs. Is your car relatively new or twenty years old? Is your repair "just a little problem I've been meaning to take care of" or a major mechanical failure? Figuring out ahead of time the best place to deal with your problem can save a lot of time and frustration.
Pros: Technicians at auto dealerships are usually very knowledgeable about the specific brands they carry. They receive specialized training and they see the same cars so much, they usually know what problems to look for before even pulling your car into the shop. They often have the latest equipment and use parts straight from the factory, designed specifically for your automobile. The waiting area at many dealerships is first class, offering delis, cafes, big screen TV's, etc. Recently, there has been a trend among dealerships to compete with independent and chain service shops by offering quick lubes and free services to entice the consumer's business.
Cons: Dealerships often charge more. They have a higher hourly labor rate than most independent and chain service shops, and the factory parts they carry tend to cost more than aftermarket parts. Also, it usually takes them longer than other places to get to your car.
Bottom Line: Repairs covered by factory warranties should be performed by an authorized dealership. Newer cars with major mechanical problems should also go the dealership. Some notable dealership service departments in the Mobile area are UJ Chevrolet, Palmers Toyota, Eastern Shore Toyota, Chris Myers Nissan, and Coastal Ford.
Chain Service Shops
Pros: Chain service shops offer slightly lower hourly rates compared to dealerships, and the aftermarket parts they use are cheaper. They also tend to be much faster at getting work done. Chain shops tend to be a one stop shop. They offer a wide variety of services that can be performed within a few hours. Chain shops will also recommend where to take your car if the repair goes beyond the scope of work they can perform.
Cons: Chain shops generally don't do major repairs such as engine rebuilds or transmission work (unless it's a chain transmission shop). There's also a large variance in the quality and skill level of technicians. There are highly trained technicians working at chain shops, as well as those who are just learning the ropes. It's difficult to know if the person working on your vehicle is knowledgeable and experienced. However, large chain shops stand behind their work and will fix any mistake.
Bottom Line: Chain shops are the best way to go for quick general maintenance and repairs, tires, inspections, and even diagnostics. Some notable Mobile area Chain shops include Firestone Complete Auto care, Trax Tires, Big 10 Tires, McDonald Muffler and Fausak Tires.
Independent Shops
Pros: Independent shops are generally cheaper than dealerships and chain shops. The owner often works as a technician and/or service manager, and is available to deal with any major problems that may arise. They are personally invested in making sure you are satisfied with their work. Independent shops also tend to take on any job, big or small.
Cons: There are no corporate officers around to oversee the work of an independent shop, so do a little research into the quality of work a shop performs. Most independent shops are understaffed, so it may take a while to finish the work. The equipment also tends to be outdated when compared to shops with corporate financial backing.
Bottom Line: Older out-of-warranty cars needing major repairs benefit the most from independent repair shops. Some notable independent shops in the Mobile area include Port City Foreign Car Service, Cross Automotive, and Paul's Automotive.
Personal note to readers:
Thank you to all the readers. I would appreciate any comments, suggestions on future articles, or critique. Please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Buck Hill: But Beautiful
But Beautiful
Buck Hill (tenor sax)
I'm Beginning to See the Light (Muse 5449)
Buck Hill (tenor sax),
Jon Ozment (piano), Carroll Dashiell (bass), Warren Shad (drums).
Composed by Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen.
Recorded: New York, June 12, 1991
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
There's a great 1960 William Claxton photograph of Buck Hill standing in his postman's uniform on the steps of a house, saxophone held to his mouth, while neighborhood children play in front of him. The "Jazz Postman" or "Wailin' Mailman" worked 40 years for the U.S. Postal Service in his hometown of Washington, D.C., where as a teenager he studied music with a teacher who had also taught a young Duke Ellington. Hill chose this secure day job in order to support his family, playing local jazz gigs at night and recording as a leader when such opportunities finally came along starting in 1978.
Hill's treatment of the ballad "But Beautiful" is an excellent example of his polished and confident hard-bop style, most similar to Dexter Gordon's. (Hill was born four years after Gordon.) The first thing you notice is Hill's robust sound, as he unhurriedly embellishes the melody with runs that often end in deep bass notes. As he embarks on his solo, piercing inflections are introduced, and he effectively utilizes wide interval leaps to add spice and emotional bite to his musings. Ozment plays a profoundly lyrical solo with an endearingly light touch. Hill's soulful return to the theme culminates in an inventively sustained and resolved coda. Fortunately, Buck Hill got to record enough gems like "But Beautiful" to lift this local legend out of nearly total obscurity and towards some semblance of a wider audience, as well as to generate a fair amount of critical acclaim.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
The Water Garden (page 3 of 4)
by Robert Smaus
Stocking the Water Garden
Fish control algae and mosquito larvae. Ordinary goldfish control both, though tiny, guppylike mosquito fish eliminate mosquitoes completely. (Mosquito-control agencies often give these fish away.) My first goldfish came from an elementary-school carnival where my kids won them by tossing little white balls into cups filled with the hapless fish. Pet stores sell them, often as "feeder fish" for snakes and other reptiles (imagine your fishes' delight when they find themselves in a water garden instead!). If you like aquatic plants, don't keep koi in the same pond. They'll eat everything (though lilies usually survive).
Pest Note: If your neighborhood includes raccoons, they're likely to climb into the pond, dig things up, and try to eat the goldfish. In this case, the less attractive mosquito fish are better bets than goldfish. To keep raccoons out, you must install a single-wire electric fence, which greatly detracts from the pond's beauty. However, not much else deters them.
Aquatic Snails. Water snails don't eat living plants, just decaying vegetation and algae. Many garden rules are reversed when you start water gardening: You don't want good drainage; instead, you use crummy soil, and you actually encourage snails.
Keep about 75 percent of the water's surface covered with vegetation in the summer to inhibit algae growth. Algae are a natural part of pond life, and some forms always coat the pond lining. Some shade minimizes algae. They cover my pool's sides, but the water stays clear. Annually, after I repot the aquatic plants, the pool briefly turns green as the algae eat stirred-up nutrients. That's why you must never change the water. If you do, the pond must achieve its natural bal all over again.
Some Favorite Aquatic Plants
In my garden, water lilies (Nymphaea) start blooming when the weather warms and last long into the fall. Their starlike flowers are bright and magical as they float serenely on the water's surface. I grow tropical and hardy water lilies.
Tropical Water Lilies
Most flowers are lavender, purple, or fluorescent pink. Some bloom at night. Most tropical lilies spread widely. Small ones are available; my favorite is 'Edward D. Uber', with purple flowers. In my garden, this variety stays in the pool all year. I repot them only every few years because they don't spread like the hardy lilies, though they bloom just as profusely. Where winters are cold, treat tropicals as annuals.

has won the prestigious Service to America Justice Medal for
service to his country. But for this alumnus, stopping drug
smugglers is exhilarating and yes fun.
Elizabeth Jane Walker
It's a lazy Sunday morning in South Florida. While most people
are sipping hot coffee or heading off to church, Bobby Rutherford
(BSE '85), is supervising a drug bust that nets 3,000 pounds
of cocaine. Before returning home to his wife and young daughters,
he also begins relocation proceedings for one of his employees.

1,000 pounds of cocaine seized from a freighter in
Miami. At bottom, Rutherford briefs Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush during a tour of the Miami River.

"I'm having to move one of my agents today because one of
his sources was murdered, execution style, night before last,"
explains Rutherford. "So I've been kind of busy."
Rutherford, a group supervisor in U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (formerly U.S. Customs Service), has earned national
kudos for his efforts to rid the Miami River of narcotics
smugglers. In the mid-1990s, drug smugglers turned that river
into a superhighway for transporting narcotics into South
Florida. Freighters and barges from Haiti would arrive, ostensibly
empty, and worthless cargo would be loaded onto the vessels.
Those ships would then transport the rubbish to Haiti, dump
it, and return to Miami with supposedly empty cargo holds.
In reality, the vessels were importing cleverly concealed
stashes of cocaine and other drugs to the United States.
For Rutherford and his team of 20 agents, the situation was
overwhelming. "We didn't have enough people to address the
problem," he says. So Rutherford formulated a simple, yet
ingenious, plan to nab the smugglers and their vessels.
on the river
The success of Rutherford's plan hinged on the cooperation
of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. In 1998
he began "selling" his idea to colleagues in eight
other agencies. The result was a task force called Operation
Riversweep. Before that time, Customs agents might have suspected
boats of transporting drugs, but they did not have the manpower
to stop and search every vessel. The new inter-agency cooperation
provided Rutherford and his staff with the assistance they
needed. "We would find violations that weren't Customs
violations like Coast Guard safety violations or EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) pollution violations,"
Rutherford explains. "We could use those violations to
put that boat out of service so that they wouldn't be bringing
in drugs anymore."
Rutherford admits that the cooperation created a bureaucratic
nightmare at first. "Every agency has different policies
and procedures for the way they do things," he says.
"So we brought them in and said, 'Hey, we need your
help. We'd like to utilize your statutes.' We basically made
them Customs officers and they operated under our authority,
with their extra authority. The outside officers were always
with one of our agents. We supervised them, and they served
as a force-multiplier for us."
Between 1999 and 2001, the nine-agency task force enjoyed
unprecedented success, arresting 120 people, seizing 21 freighters
and more than 13,000 pounds of cocaine.
As smugglers encountered increasing levels of opposition,
they began altering their methods of importing contraband.
Again, Rutherford fought back, expanding his brainchild into
a new and bigger initiative, Operation Riverwalk. Comprising
more than 30 different agencies and 300 officers, this program
lasted for two years, ending in early 2003. Operation Riverwalk
virtually shut down the Miami River as one of the major entry
points for narcotics coming into the United States. "We ended
up seizing about 15,000 pounds of cocaine, about 35 pounds
of heroin and about 15,000 ecstasy tablets," says Rutherford.
"And we arrested over 200 people."
with the fishes
Riverwalk's success spawned a new conundrum: what to do with
the empty freighters forfeited to the government. In the past
the government would spend about $100,000 per vessel on upkeep
and dock fees until the boats could be sold at auction. Ironically,
the smugglers were buying many of the auctioned vessels. "We
were selling some of these boats right back to the same dopers,"
says Rutherford, ruefully. "And so we started sinking them."
Rutherford helped create a program to clean the freighters
and sink them forming artificial offshore reefs that
were a haven for fish and a boon for the tourism industry.
In May 2002, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
and 100 schoolchildren dedicated the "Governor's Riverwalk
Reef" at Peanut Island in Riviera Beach, Fla.
"We have taken something that was for evil and turned it
into something that is useful and beautiful," Gov. Bush proclaimed.
"Now those vessels of poison, whose only purpose was to bring
cocaine from Haiti ... are part of something beautiful, wholesome
and wonderful. That's a nice full circle, isn't it?"
The man who spearheaded these ambitious projects never intended
to pursue a career in U.S. Customs. Born in Scotland and raised
in Memphis, Rutherford decided to attend then-Memphis State
University, where his father, Robert, worked as director of
security. The younger Rutherford soon found his niche in the
University's Park Ranger Training Program. Led by Dr. Bill
Dwyer, the program was a federally certified National Park
Service law-enforcement training academy.
After two summers working at Chattahoochie River National
Recreation Area in Georgia, Rutherford graduated and accepted
a position as a police officer in Panama City Beach, Fla.,
where he had previously held summer jobs as a lifeguard. In
1987 he was offered a position with the U.S. Customs Service.
Subsequently, Rutherford attended another university, where
he earned a master's degree in international relations.
Rutherford credits much of his success in law enforcement
to his U of M training. "I had to complete the police
academy in the state of Florida," Rutherford says, "and
then I had to go through the Customs academy at the Federal
Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia. The training I
got from Memphis State was actually better than all of those.
I graduated No. 1 in the state academy and in the Customs
academy because of the training I had at Memphis State in
Dr. Dwyer's class."
Many other organizations have also rated Rutherford No. 1
for his contributions to the field of law enforcement. About
five years ago, he received a national award from the International
Auto Theft Investigators Association for an auto smuggling
case he worked on in Jamaica, where 150 stolen cars were recovered.
In October of 2002 he received the prestigious Service to
America Justice Medal, an award given by the Partnership for
Public Service. And in October of 2003, Rutherford accepted
the International Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association
award for his most recent initiative, Operation Seastop.
ripple effect
Begun in March of 2003, Operation Seastop is an extension
of Operations Riversweep and Riverwalk. Smugglers are continually
adjusting their tactics to avoid the scrutiny foisted upon
them by Immigration and Customs officials. As a result of
Operation Riverwalk, drug importers began port shopping. "They
look for the port of least resistance one that's not
equipped to pay as much attention to them as we are in Miami,"
Rutherford explains. So freighters from Haiti began showing
up in New York, Houston, New Orleans and Tampa, Fla. "We
had expected that," says Rutherford. Because of Operation
Riverwalk, officials in those cities also began targeting
the freighters. The smugglers were foiled again ... but not
for long.
Now they have begun stopping off in the Bahamas, where they
unload their cargo and send it to the mainland in small boats.
"They're using what we call the Miami Vice-type boats,
or 'go-fast' boats," says Rutherford. "These boats run between
70 and 90 miles per hour in the middle of the night to bring
shipments across."
with several bales of cocaine that had been airdropped
by a Colombian aircraft onto an uninhabited Bahamian
island. The pick-up crew was arrested before they
found the bales of cocaine.
So Rutherford's initiative has assumed a third reincarnation
as Operation Seastop. This expanded program addresses
the threats poised by the "go-fast" boats and the few remaining
drug-trafficking organizations operating on the Miami River.
"It's a vicious cycle," Rutherford says. "Stop them in one
place, they pop up in another; move assets to address it,
and they go back to the old way."
Nabbing smugglers whizzing by at 90 miles per hour is a far
cry from hailing a cumbersome freighter. Sometimes, the workday
can literally fly by. "When you catch smugglers coming across,
they usually don't stop," Rutherford says. "It turns into
a boat chase. Because if you chase them all the way across
and they reach Bahamian waters, they're home free. We don't
want that to happen!"
After 16 years with U.S. Customs, Rutherford still finds
his job exhilarating and fulfilling. He downplays the danger,
but obviously relishes the excitement.
"Sometimes it's dangerous; sometimes it isn't,"
he says. "What we do is usually based on intelligence,
so we go out there and make sure we outnumber the bad guys.
But every now and then when you're out there in the middle,
you find another boat and you get into a chase and it's just
you against them.
"Helicopters, boats, planes you name it, we in
Customs get to do it all," he continues, and without
hesitation adds, "It's a good time, and I'm still having

Bully for you, chilly for me
What you want is in my David Bowie sketchbook!
A big reason I wanted to go to Comic-Con International in San Diego this year was solely for the Bowie sketchbook. While I'd hoped to get some superhero artists in the book for the first time, a combination of work duties keeping me away from their official signings and the fact that most of them charge an arm and a leg and have months-long wait-lists for commissions put the kibosh on that. But I did manage to round up a small but elite squad of altcomix luminaries to put their stamp on the wild-eyed boy from Freecloud. Let's see how they did, shall we?
Mark Todd: Pirate Bowie makes a comeback! Whoever's in charge of marketing Bowie's iconography, please pay attention to how many hip young artists gravitate to this one-off look.
Jaime Hernandez: Ah yes, the one you've been waiting for.
Mario Hernandez: All three cartooning Hernandez Brothers are in my book! I'll tell you this--from my position on the opposite side of the table, looking at this upside-down, it was really, really difficult to figure out what Mario was drawing until he finally flipped it over to draw the head.
Johnny Ryan: Lesser men of my acquaintance have been too timid to approach Johnny for their sketchbooks, given his usual MO. Look what you're missing, wimps!
Jim Woodring: Another freaking giant of comics, another relentless self-deprecator. Man, you created Frank and your Bowie looks just fine. Go easy on yourself.
Jordan Crane: One of my oldest acquaintances in comics and the guy directly responsible in many ways for my involvement in them, Jordan represented two firsts for the sketchbook: He was the first to draw Bowie's pre-stardom Mod look, and the first to shit-talk other sketches. Which ones? That's a secret I'll take to my grave.

Xaime's Bowie = Doyle
Very much so, less the stubble and the shit-eating grin.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Since your divorce decree was finalized, have you or your former spouse moved, taking your child along? Has your former spouse received a substantial increase in income? These issues may present a substantial change in circumstances, warranting a modification of your divorce decree so it accurately reflects the altered custody or child support arrangements. We have a thorough understanding of the Texas guidelines that may affect the outcome of your case.

At the Law Office of Aleta Peacock, we are skilled and experienced in drafting and defending premarital (prenuptial) and postmarital (postnuptial) agreements.

All parties retain their respective attorneys, and neutral professionals are involved as well. We can carefully explain how and when mediation and collaborative law may be used, and whether one of these approaches is appropriate for your case.
During divorce proceedings, a parent's anger can sometimes spill over. When this happens, it can have a negative impact on the relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren. If you've had substantial contact with your grandchildren in the past, and yet now you're being denied access to them as the result of their parents' divorce, call the Law Office of Aleta Peacock for a free and confidential initial consultation.

Transportation Stocks Breakout: A Good Omen For The Economy?
Sy Harding: The transportation stocks often lead the economy in both directions. That makes sense since truckers and railroads get an early look at the beginning stage of economic reversals in both directions. They get to see changes in the shipments of raw materials to manufacturers, sub-components from suppliers, and finished goods to wholesalers, as well as changes in import and export shipping volumes, well before they show up in rising or falling monthly or quarterly corporate sales reports, which are lagging indicators.
With that in mind the DJ Transportation Average, as well as mutual funds and etf's focused on transportation stocks, have been a cause for concern for some time.
In 2011 the stock market plunged into a fairly serious summer correction as the economic recovery stalled. The S&P 500 fell 18% in that correction. But the DJ Transportation Avg. plunged 28%, past the official 20% threshold that defines a bear market.

The stock market recovered from that sell-off as the economic recovery got back on track. The S&P 500 and other major indexes resumed the bull market that began in 2009, recovering all the way from the 2011 correction and moving on to new highs.
But the transports created concerns again in 2012. The DJ Transportation Avg. recovered from the 2011 sell-off along with the rest of the market, but only until early 2012. It then rolled over to the downside from a lower high, and moved lower all year.
That left the worrisome possibility that its partial recovery was only a bear market rally, and its new decline was the beginning of another leg down in a bear market
That was not a good omen for the economy.
So the upside breakout since November from that decline is encouraging news for the economy.
To provide more encouragement it needs to move out above its 2011 peak and confirm the new highs made by the rest of the major market indexes.
But one step at a time. Right now it's a bit overbought short-term.
Intermediate-term, having been down the most it has the furthest to rise if it is to catch up to the rest of the market. Our technical indicators caught that and it has become our best holding so far in the favorable season rally that has been underway since November, and it should continue to outperform the rest of the market as long as the winter rally lasts.
In the interest of full disclosure, I and my subscribers have a 20% position in the iShares Transportation ETF (NYSEARCA:IYT).

Further experiments revealed that by measuring the time elapsed between transmission and reflection of a radio wave and knowing the speed of the radio waves through the atmosphere, one could determine the distance to the object. Warfare, air traffic control, space exploration, highway safety, baseball, and a host of other fields were to be the beneficiaries of this discovery. The boy who had started playing with radios as a hobby had discovered a new phenomenon that would ultimately become known as "radio detection and ranging" or more simply by the acronym radar.
Young continued to work with this new phenomenon and was instrumental in its development and ultimate use in naval warfare. By 1937—just in time for World War II—the first functional radar set was installed in a U.S. Navy warship. When citing the reasons for the Allied victory in World War II, historians often include the timely development of radar.
Leo Young worked at the Naval Research Laboratory as a research scientist until his retirement in 1961. His many honors included the Presidential Certificate of Merit from President Harry S. Truman, the Stuart Ballantine Medal of the Franklin Institute, and the Navy Department's Distinguished Civilian Service Award.
Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 34 (VAQ-34) was established on 1 March 1983 at NAS Point Mugu, California. As a squadron under the Fleet Electronic Warfare Support Group, the Electric Horsemen represented an expansion of the electronic aggressor training community to a permanent West Coast presence.
VAQ-34 was formed to meet the increasing demand for realistic training for ship crews to counter electronic and cruise-missile threats, particularly those from the Soviet Union. VAQ-34 was modeled after VAQ-33, its East Coast counterpart.
To equip the squadron, four RA-3B Skywarrior photo-reconnaissance aircraft were saved from scrapping and modified to the ERA-3B configuration pioneered by VAQ-33, with electronic jamming equipment and chaff dispensers. The squadron acquired other Skywarrior versions-EA-3B, KA-3B, and UA-3B-for tanking, transport, and utility support, and also operated the EA-7L version of the Corsair II attack aircraft.
The Electric Horsemen, later known as the Flashbacks, dispatched detachments as far as Japan and Puerto Rico to provide threat simulation for Fleet units in training exercises, air wing work-ups, and for research and development work. In late 1990, VAQ-34 was instrumental in providing units deploying for Operation Desert Shield with training against Iraqi cruise missiles and electronic warfare threats.
By the end of 1991, the ERA-3B and EA-7L aircraft were retired or transferred, and VAQ-34 was equipped in 1992 with eight F/A-18A Hornet strike fighters fitted with missile simulators, threat detectors, jammers, and chaff dispensers. In June 1992 the Flashbacks moved to NAS Lemoore, California.
The unit became the first naval aviation squadron to be commanded by a woman, former Naval Institute board member Commander Rosemary Mariner.
In 1993 the Navy decided to transfer the electronic aggressor role to the Naval Air Reserve, and VAQ-34 was disestablished on 5 October 1993.

One criterion that I use in judging a performance's note-worthiness (or for that matter, lack of) is to ask myself, "Did it seem like I sat for three hours in a theater seat?" Happily, in the case of Jersey Boys (now playing in the State Theatre at PlayhouseSquare through May 18, 2014) I can report that the show is so solidly entertaining that for the most part the time flew by. The show combines the great number one smash hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Season with an easy to follow and tightly written storyline as well as a superb cast of actors who cannot only sing but who mimic note for note the recordings from the original group. This is not to mention the excellent musicians, the spot-on lighting the sets and sound.
This last show of the 2013-2014 KeyBank Broadway Series is already a sellout for each and every performance just as it was the last time it graced the stage at PlayhouseSquare. It has everything going for it. Nothing is spared in this production or for that matter glossed over. It is the story of a group of petty criminals who manage to escape their oppressive environment by forming a singing group.
The show tells the tale of the long road that it took the Four Seasons (aka The Variatones, The Four Lovers, The Travelers, The Romans, The Village Voices, The Topics and etc., etc., and… etc.) to reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune while dealing with mob connections, Tommy DiVito's $162,000 "loan" as well as a half million dollars owed in back taxes. It is basically a tale that states, "You can take the boy out of Jersey but you cannot take the Jersey out of the boy". Over the course of the show you find out about all the hardships and loss due to constant touring, the vagarious nature of the music business with people coming and going and how in the end family and friendship are really all that matters.
Standouts in the show are Hayden Milanes as Frankie Valli who nails even the most intricate of vocalizations, Nicolas Dromard as Tommy DeVito who steals the scene every time he steps on stage and who in the story kept the group financially viable through hook and crook, Quinn Vanantwerp as Bob Gaudio who in real life was responsible for most of the number one hits that all started with a simple handshake with Frankie (The New Jersey Contract) and is still in effect even today and Adam Zelakso as Nick Massi the long suffering "Ringo" of the group.. These four are the Four Seasons in all their swagger and bluff as well in their unique harmonization that sold over 100 million records worldwide.
Prude Alert: Being as how this is the story of four guys from Jersey who lived on "the wrong side of the tracks" there is a lot of language, sexual reference and briefly hinted homosexuality. The choice is yours to see this if you are sensitive to such matters.
Beef and Flubs: The acting is superb, the singing and music is nothing short of great, the set transitions are smooth and quick and the story is compelling and easy to follow. The only slight gripe I have is that some parts did seem to drag a bit and made the audience restless but then a new song would come along and perk everyone up again.
Shooting From The Lip (In My Opinion): This is the show that probably every subscription holder for the KeyBank Broadway Series has been waiting for and will not be disappointed by in any way. High energy, great songs, a good story and well timed comedy combined with compelling drama makes this a must see conclusion to the season. This is blue collar music that we all grew up with and you will find yourself fighting the urge to sing along.
Tickets for JERSEY BOYS begin at $30 and are available by calling (216) 241-6000 or visiting www.PlayhouseSquare.org. Special discounts are offered for groups of 15 or more. Please call the Group Sales Department at (216) 640-8600 for more information. Performance schedule, prices and cast are subject to change without notice.

Matheson's Late Goal Rallies Minutemen
Feb. 21, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts hockey team scored a late power-play goal in the third period to tie Boston University, 2-2, in front of the eighth-largest crowd in school history. The tie, which ends a four-game losing streak, moves UMass' record to 16-9-6 overall, and 12-7-3 in Hockey East.
Both teams' goalies stood up to the challenge early, as UMass was the aggressor. The Minutemen had five shots on BU goalie Sean Fields in the first nine minutes, but the senior turned them all away. Meanwhile, Gabe Winer (Stoughton, Mass.) had only two shots on him in the first 10 minutes, and kicked them both away. The Minutemen then got on the board first late in the first frame, when Greg Mauldin (Holliston, Mass.) took a cross-ice feed through traffic and slid a shot from in front to the left post past Fields' glove for a 1-0 advantage. Tim Vitek (Dresden, Ontario) fed Mauldin with the pass and Chris Capraro (Medford, Mass.) also assisted on the goal.
Despite the Minutemen dominating the game territorially, Boston University tied the game at 6:41 of the second period when Kenny Roche one-timed a Sean Sullivan pass from in front past Winer's glove just inside the left post to tie the contest at 1-1. Ryan Whitney also assisted on the goal. Boston University took a 2-1 advantage at 13:42 when Ryan Whitney took a loose puck from a feed by Brian McConnell and lasered a shot past Winer's shoulder for a power-play netter, BU's fifth of the series. Mark Mullen also assisted on the goal.
Neither team mounted much of a threat in the first half of the third period. The Terriers went on the lone power play of the stanza early on, but the Minutemen killed it off without any further harm. The Minutemen recorded its first shot on goal 13 minutes into the period, moments after Winer made two huge saves to keep the Minutemen within striking distance. The Minutemen had one more great opportunity late in the game when Stephen Werner (Chevy Chase, Md.) drew a hooking penalty with 3:32 to play giving the Minutemen their third power play of the game. The Minutemen capitalized when Mark Matheson (Calgary, Alberta) one-timed a Nick Kuiper (Beaconsfield, Quebec) feed that clanged off the pipes and into the back of the net for the game-tying goal at the 18:11 mark. Werner also assisted on the goal. However, the Minutemen took a late penalty to give the Terriers a power play heading into overtime. The Minutemen killed off the power play with no shots on goal allowed, setting up the final three minutes of overtime.
UMass will take off next weekend before concluding the regular season with a home-and-home against Northeastern. The Minutemen will travel to Northeastern on Friday, March 5, before hosting the Huskies on Saturday, March 6, for senior night. Both games start at 7:00 p.m. The Minutemen will then host a Hockey East Quarterfinal series for the first time ever the following week from March 11-14. For ticket information, call the UMass Ticket Office at 1-866-UMASS-TIX.

It's almost go time for a new round of delebrities — celebrities as designers.
This story first appeared in the July 10, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The trend doesn't seem to be slowing, as the newest crop of actors and entertainers prepare to enter the industry and unveil their lines for fall. LL Cool J will hit Sears stores with a full range of apparel for juniors, young men and children; Avril Lavigne will launch her Abbey Dawn line at Kohl's; Rachel Bilson's Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans brand will take the floor at department stores, and Kristin Davis will soon be selling her line on the better floor at Belk.
While the track record of celebrity apparel lines has been filled with missteps — Jennifer Lopez's collection has gone through numerous iterations; Beyoncé Knowles' House of Deréon line had a slow start; Eve's Fetish collection never succeeded, and Diddy's women's line never got off the ground — the allure of the category hasn't dimmed. Retailers are responding by securing these personalities with exclusive lines intended to generate buzz for the stores.
"From Wet Seal to J.C. Penney, stores are all looking for the next big thing to be able to bring in new customers," said Michelle Roback, a sales executive with Jerry Leigh, a licensing firm in Los Angeles that had a major role in the deal between Lavigne and Kohl's. "Bringing in this sort of talent can certainly do that for these stores."
But the forecast is mixed as to how these brands will perform once they hit the sales floors.
"Avril has her own funky style….But I'm not sure I could see her making supergirly dresses if the trends move in that direction, so I really don't see this brand as a long-term thing," said Lisa Chase, founder of CelebrityEverything.com, a Web site for the celebrity-obsessed crowd.
Chase sees LL Cool J working well for guys, since he "has the best pecs in Hollywood." However, she isn't sure a junior apparel line from LL Cool J would work quite the same way.
"With all the competition out there, I really can't see girls seeking out clothing from LL Cool J for themselves to wear," she said. "Rachel Bilson, on the other hand, is a modern classic. She has great style and girls will want to dress like her. I could see her line lasting a long time."
Michael Stone, president and chief executive officer of the Beanstalk Group, a brand-licensing agency that works with celebrities such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Paris Hilton, said celebrities must have staying power for their brands to work.
"Retailers are hungry for more," Stone said. "I'm sure there will be some failures. The key is that in order for them to survive, there has to be longevity in the celebrity. The retailer has to be able to see a future for the brand."
While many of the newer celebrity brands have been geared to the teen and tween customers, Davis' line will sit in the better sportswear area at Belk stores.
"It's become clearer and clearer that our customers want more on our better floor," said H.W. McKay Belk, president and chief merchandising officer. "This is an opportunity to put something there that's much stronger. Customers are gravitating to what's new in the stores. What's old and hasn't really changed is not that exciting."
This new crop of celebrity-designers will walk a path blazed by Lopez, Knowles and Gwen Stefani, as well as the Olsen sisters, who have a multitier business, encompassing everything from sportswear to area rugs as part of their more than $1 billion empire.
Other celebrities in the fashion game are:
– Justin Timberlake with his William Rast Southern-inspired contemporary sportswear.
– Jessica Simpson has shoes, bags and outerwear, while Pamela Anderson has lingerie.
– Jaime Pressly launched a line of contemporary sportswear and Hilary Duff has sportswear and accessories.
– Sarah Jessica Parker and Amanda Bynes made deals with Steve & Barry's, which filed for bankruptcy Wednesday.
– Victoria Beckham and Sheryl Crow have denim lines, and Kate Moss has a Topshop line.
– Sienna Miller has Twenty8Twelve by s. miller, a contemporary collection, with her sister, Savannah.
– "The Hills" star Lauren Conrad has contemporary sportswear, and Heidi Montag, also from "The Hills," has a collection with California retail chain Anchor Blue called Heidiwood.
