KREX-TV, virtual channel 5 (digital channel 2), is the CBS-affiliated television station for most of western Colorado, based in Grand Junction. Owned by Nexstar Broadcasting Group, it operates its digital signal on VHF channel 2.

Satellite stations[edit]
- KREG-TV 3 Glenwood Springs, Colorado formerly independent KCWS-TV for a brief period in 1984 and 1985.
- KREY 10 Montrose, Colorado
KREY transmits from Flattop Mesa, a hill northeast of Montrose. It also offers digital service on Channel 13. Due to its relatively weak signal (6.17 kW visual) and the areas' very uneven terrain, the station uses six translators to relay its signal to the Uncompaghre Valley and surrounding San Miguel mountain communities. Local studios are located on North 1st Street in Montrose. In its earliest days, local programs including "Letters To Santa," in which area children were invited to sit on Santa's lap on live television, were made in cramped quarters at the transmitter building, which doubled as the stations' studio through the 1970s. The station previously produced short news inserts during the weekday "NewsChannel 5" at 5pm and 10pm, though this has since ended.

KREX originally was also seen on KREZ Channel 6 in Durango, Colorado. KREZ had made several attempts at regional news programs over its 30 years as a semi-satellite of KREX. Eventually, the cost of supplying a 270-mile (435-kilometer) microwave link to Durango plus the relatively small revenue base led to the sale of KREZ in 1995. It is now a satellite of Albuquerque's KRQE.
In addition to its two satellites, KREX operates the largest translator network of any commercial station in Colorado, comprising 60 low-power repeaters.
Channel 5 first went on the air on May 22, 1954 as KFXJ-TV, owned by Colorado broadcasting pioneer Rex Howell along with KFXJ radio (AM 920). Howell had founded KFXJ on Colorado's front range in 1926 and moved it to Grand Junction in 1931.
Channel 5 shared a studio with its radio sister on Hillcrest Manor, north of downtown Grand Junction. Howell had built the art-deco and block glass structure in 1931 for the radio station, but expanded it to two stories to accommodate television. At the time, Hillcrest Manor was the highest populated point in the city. The stations' broadcast tower was located on the grounds next to the studio building.
The station carried programming from all four networks, but was a primary CBS affiliate. It lost DuMont when that network shut down in 1956, but continued carrying programs from CBS, NBC and ABC. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[2]
In 1956, Howell moved the KFXJ calls to a newly opened satellite station on channel 10, located some 65 miles south in Montrose, Colorado. The Grand Junction stations then changed their calls to KREX-AM-TV, after their founder. KREX-FM (92.3) signed on in 1960, transmitting from the same tower used by channel 5 at the Hillcrest location. KFXJ became KREY-TV in 1965, shortly after the opening of Durango-based KREZ-TV on channel 6. This three-station network became known as "XYZ Television", with the calls of all three stations corresponding to the word 'king' ('Rex' coincidentally meaning king in Latin, with 'rey' the Spanish word for king[3]).
For 25 years, KREX-TV was the only television station in western Colorado. However, cable providers supplemented it with the Denver stations. Channel 5 finally got some local competition when KJCT signed on in 1979. KJCT took ABC full-time, leaving KREX-TV to shoehorn CBS and NBC onto its schedule. This was very unusual for a two-station market, but made sense in light of the fact that ABC was the top-rated network at the time. Channel 5 finally lost NBC in 1996 when KKCO signed on. For a time in the 1990s, it also carried some Fox programming in the off-hours.
KREX-TV relocated its analog transmitter to the Black Ridge electronics site at the Colorado National Monument west of Grand Junction in 2002. It increased power eightfold, from 12.9 kW to 100 kW visual. The digital transmitter remains at the studio location, operating at a licensed power of only 834 watts.
KREX-AM eventually moved its frequency to 1100 AM, and increased its power to 50,000 watts. It is now KNZZ, the top-rated radio station in the market. It transmits from Whitewater, a desert community 12 miles (19 kilometers) south of Grand Junction. KREX-FM is now KMOZ-FM, broadcasting soft rock from a transmitter at the Black Ridge electronics site. It and KNZZ are now owned by MBC Grand Broadcasting.
Studio fire[edit]
The KREX studios were ravaged by a fire that broke out on January 20, 2008. The five occupants of the building (2 news reporters, 2 master control operators, and one cleaning person) escaped without injury, and the fire's exact cause remains unknown.[4]
The Grand Junction Fire Department was forced to pull firefighters from the building shortly after arriving on the scene. The 77-year-old building had been renovated several times, creating many dead air spaces. Fire officials were concerned by the potential for backdrafts, and decided to battle the fire from the exterior only. More than 18,000 gallons of water were required to fully extinguish the blaze, which continued to smolder for over 24 hours.
The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms assisted with the investigation. It was revealed that the fire started on the top floor (ground level offices) and continued down to the basement. Investigators focused on a heater in the hallway of the upper floor; however, it may be impossible to definitively determine the fire's cause. This was due to the profound level of destruction within the building as well as the decision to allow the fire to burn itself out. Ironically, the station had passed a fire inspection by the Grand Junction Fire Department only a few weeks prior to the fire.
Damage to the facility was estimated at roughly $6 million, making it the most significant fire loss in Grand Junction history. In addition to the losses of equipment and infrastructure, decades of file tapes were lost in the fire, as well as irreplaceable photographs and other archival material, wiping out a comprehensive catalog of the Grand Valley's history.
The station's CBS and Fox feeds went off the air around 10:30 a.m. However, within a few hours, the national CBS and Fox feeds were picked up by the then-local cable provider, Bresnan Communications. Dish Network temporarily replaced KREX and KFQX with their then network-owned Denver counterparts, KCNC-TV and KDVR, respectively. (DirecTV did not have an established local Grand Junction feed.) Due to the high penetration of cable and satellite in this area, most of the area's residents didn't lose access to CBS programming. Cable and satellite are all but essential for acceptable television in much of western Colorado due to the market's rugged terrain. The fire also temporarily knocked out programming to KREX's satellites and massive translator network, as they either were controlled from KREX's studios, or fed off of the source originating at KREX's transmitter.
Recovery and reconstruction[edit]
According to KREX General Manager Ron Tillery, the studios were a total loss and the structure is almost demolished. However, the $130,000 transmitter survived without significant damage, as it was housed in a 1960s-era bomb shelter located in the basement of the building. It took crews three days to reach the shelter due to debris and obstructions.
The transmitter was reassembled in a newly built outbuilding located on KREX's current property, and the control room was temporarily housed in a mobile home directly behind the transmitter.[5] The station's master control equipment was completely replaced with all-digital equipment, and the trailer featured three separate master controls for KREX's CBS, FOX, and MY Network affiliates.[6]
The KREX news division moved into temporary quarters at the PBS broadcasting studio at Western Colorado Community College, and staff also worked directly from their homes.
KREX-TV and its three full-power satellites returned to the air on January 30, 2008, with KFQX coming online the following day. As of mid-March, KREX and KFQX both began carrying a full slate of network and syndicated programming, and local news. KGJT-LP began repeating KREX's programming with no variances in the schedule; this lasted until Fall 2008, when a separate sechedule with MyNetworkTV programming resumed.
The station's owner, Hoak Media, pledged to reconstruct a "state of the art media and news gathering operation."[4] A number of local businesses donated equipment and other materials to aid in the station's recovery. On August 10, 2009, KREX's new studios were completed. That day, the station premiered its new news set created by Delvin Design Group, its new graphics from VDO, and became the second station behind KJCT to launch local news in high definition.
In June 2012, KREX and other Hoak-owned stations were pulled from Dish Network after they failed to renew a carriage agreement. The refusal to renew reportedly surrounds Dish Network's "Hopper" digital video recorder and its controversial commercial-skipping feature AutoHop—which has also led to complaints from the major U.S. television networks.[7][8]
On November 20, 2013, Gray Television announced it would purchase Hoak Media and Parker Broadcasting in a $335 million deal. Since Gray already owns KKCO and operates KJCT (which is owned by Excalibur Broadcasting), it decided to spin off KREX and its translators, and KFQX (which is being acquired by Excalibur) to a third-party.[9][10] On December 19, Gray announced, in a side deal related to the Hoak acquisition, that KREX and its satellites will be sold to Nexstar Broadcasting Group, while KFQX will be sold to Mission Broadcasting, for $37.5 million.[11] The sale of KREX was completed on June 13, 2014.[12]
News operation[edit]
KREX was the leading news station in the area for many years, but for most of the last decade has been runner-up to KKCO. Some of KREX's newscasts are simulcast on its sister stations, KFQX and KGJT.[13]

Baht Has Weekly Gain as ECB Bond-Buying Plan Boosts Risk-Taking
Thailand's baht had a weekly advance after the European Central Bank announced a bond-buying plan to tackle the region's debt crisis, increasing demand for emerging-market assets.
The currency touched its strongest level since May today as international investors bought $35 million more Thai equities than they sold this week through yesterday and pumped a net $646 million into government bonds, according to data from the stock exchange and the Thai Bond Market Association. ECB President Mario Draghi said yesterday policy makers agreed to an unlimited bond-purchase program to regain control of interest rates in the euro area. The U.S. will release employment data today.
"The ECB taking action leads to optimism about stability in the euro-area financial markets," said Kozo Hasegawa, a Bangkok-based currency trader at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. "That improved risk sentiment and encouraged fund inflows to risker assets, supporting emerging currencies. Investors are now waiting for the U.S. jobs data."
The baht, little changed today, strengthened 0.4 percent this week to 31.22 per dollar as of 3:33 p.m. in Bangkok, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 31.15 today and on Sept. 4, matching an Aug. 24 level that was the strongest since May 11. One-month implied volatility, a measure of exchange-rate swings used to price options, was steady today and this week at 4.27 percent.
The yield on the 3.25 percent bonds due June 2017 declined one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 3.21 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The rate was little changed this week.

Pre-cognitive Semantic Information

This paper addresses one of the fundamental problems of the philosophy of information: How does semantic information emerge within the underlying dynamics of the world?—the dynamical semantic information problem. It suggests that the canonical approach to semantic information that defines data before meaning and meaning before use is inadequate for pre-cognitive information media. Instead, we should follow a pragmatic approach to information where one defines the notion of information system as a special kind of purposeful system emerging within the underlying dynamics of the world and define semantic information as the currency of the system. In this way, systems operating with semantic information can be viewed as patterns in the dynamics—semantic information is a dynamical system phenomenon of highly organized systems. In the simplest information systems, the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of the information medium are co-defined. It proposes a new more general theory of information semantics that focuses on the interface role of the information states in the information system—the interface theory of meaning. Finally, with the new framework, it addresses the debate between weakly semantic and strongly semantic accounts of information, siding with the strongly semantic view because the pragmatic account developed here is a better generalization of it.

When Columbo first visits Nora at her "cottage," she tells him that it had been built for her when she was a child actress. Later, when Columbo is speaking with Mr. Fallen, Fallen tells him that Al Cumberland had given the house to Nora before they were married.
Columbo: I had an uncle who played bagpipes in the Shriners band; he couldn't play a note, but nobody could tell the difference.
Columbo: September 16, 1960. That was the day you ordered the fountain.
Nora: Well, I don't remember the exact day.
Columbo: September 15, the day before. That was the day your husband disappeared. Now it starts to make some sense. I have a possible explanation for why the fountain doesn't run. In order to lay water pipe somebody would have to dig up the lawn, wouldn't they?
(Nora Chandler has changed Columbo's tie with an attractive gold one)
Columbo: Yeah, I was thinking. Uh, I've got an anniversary coming up next week. I wonder if I could have that back and save this for a special occasion.
Nora: Sure, here. Why don't you get your wife to take you on a shopping tour for your anniversary, huh? Take a look at (looking down his body) some suits, some shirts, slacks, socks, shoes...
Mr. Fallen: Actors, Lieutenant. Take my advice. Avoid actors. They'll kill ya.
Columbo: Well, thanks Mr. Fallen. I'll be sure to tell your boss I appreciate your hospitality.
Fallen: I AM the boss.
Columbo: Oh, gee. You know it never occurred to me. I mean anybody so young--
Fallen: It's all right. I would never typecast you as a detective either.

In The Journey of Man, renowned geneticist and anthropologist Spencer Wells traced human evolution back to our earliest ancestors, creating a remarkable and readable map of our distant past. Now, in his thrilling new book, he examines our cultural inheritance in order to find the turning point that led us to the path we are on today, one he believes we must veer from in order to survive. Pandora's Seed takes us on a powerful and provocative globe-trotting tour of human history, back to a seminal event roughly ten thousand years ago, when our species made a radical shift in its way of life: We became farmers rather than hunter-gatherers, setting in motion a momentous chain of events that could not have been foreseen at the time. Although this decision to control our own food supply is what propelled us into the modern world, Wells demonstrates-using the latest genetic and anthropological data-that such a dramatic shift in lifestyle had a downside that we're only now beginning to recognize. Growing grain crops ultimately made humans more sedentary and unhealthy and made the planet more crowded. The expanding population and the need to apportion limited resources such as water created hierarchies and inequalities. The desire to control-and no longer cooperate with-nature altered the concept of religion, making deities fewer and more influential, foreshadowing today's fanaticisms. The proximity of humans and animals bred diseases that metastasized over time. Freedom of movement and choice were replaced by a pressure to work that is the forebear of the anxiety and depression millions feel today. Wells offers a hopeful prescription for altering a life to which we were always ill suited, recommending that we change our priorities and self-destructive appetites before it's too late. A riveting and accessible scientific detective story, Pandora's Seed is an eye-opening book for anyone fascinated by the past and concerned about the future.

The book Pandora's Seed: The Unforeseen Cost of Civilization by Spencer Wells has 230 pages. This book is a great one to read because it has a lot of scientific facts, which are very interesting, but does not require background science knowledge, so it stays appealing to the reader. The author talks about human genes and how the genes have evolved over time leading us into things we are used to seeing and doing everyday throughout the book which I greatly enjoyed. At some points in the novel Well's would use scientific terms that were described well but were too detailed which detracted from the overall content of the book. I enjoyed this book, there was a great amount of science that I learned from it. This book would be most appropriate for people seventeen and older because of its higher-level writing and scientific ideas that are somewhat hard to comprehend. The flow of the chapters of this book keeps a clear message of his argument and altogether made a great book.
Pandora's Seed: The Unforeseen Cost of Civilization By: Spencer Wells This book is something that someone should read because it is factual, interesting and something that people who don't have a "scientific" mind can understand. Throughout the book the author provides information about genetics, the human genome, facts of how human genes have evolved to fit how we go about our everyday life, and how our genes are the key that link us to the past, and will help to map out our future. When doing this, he use the scientific terms but then describes them in away anyone could understand. His use of analogies or reference to familiar things made it easier to grasp his argument. There was nothing that came across to me that Wells did that detracted from the content of the book. Every chapter, and sub-chapter, stayed true to his argument and left a certain constant flow to the book. Overall I would say that I liked this book. It was definitely an enjoyable read. His view and studies on evolution opened my mind to things that I had never thought of before. This book would be most appropriate for people seventeen and older, or someone who is able to comprehend a more elevated level of literature.
All beings, no matter species, size, or shape, each share a common building block that defines them. DNA is the code that is written in every living creature that inhabits this planet. Spencer Wells takes the audience of Pandora's Seed on an adventure from the beginnings of humanoid existence all the way to what is has become today. By looking at the human genome, Wells is able to show the evolution of man through the ages. He goes further to expand on how our evolution is leading us to the bleeding edge of industrialization and total dominance over the world, along with the fact that we have driven ourselves into malaria, diabetes, obesity, and even mental illness. Wells detracts from the content of the book when he stretches some of his information to make it fit his ideologies, found in the later parts of the book. I particularly enjoyed the way Wells was able to become immersed in very complex topics and translate them into common jargon. This makes it a suitable read for a slightly more educated or older audience since he does maintain a quick pace when explaining the various topics. This is a book someone should read to get a better grasp of who we are as a species, to know where we have come from, and to hopefully predict where we will be going. Overall it was a great eye opener to see how complex our historical yellow brick road actually is.
I not only read the whole book, but read it twice. I underlined...highlighted...made notes in the margin...checked some of the primary sources. This book gives new information to the general reader in words that keep readers engaged. It isn't "stuffy" or too theoretical. It is down to earth and a really, really good read. I highly recommend it.
I admit, I did not make it all the way through the book. I stopped reading after the author's description of the Younger Dryas due to factual errors. Wells is clearly no expert on past climate. He touts ideas that were popular when he himself was in grad school (which he mentions numerous times was in the '80s'), and he did not bother updating. While it is true that the Younger Dryas -- the cold period about 12,000 years ago -- was very cold, the cause(s) of the Younger Dryas are **NOT** known. The theory he touts in the book about a massive drainage of Glacial Lake Agassiz (no longer exists but used to cover a good bit of Quebec) -- it sounds quite dramatic. In fact the biggest drainage of Agassiz did not occur until about 8,000 years ago (it is well-known through much geologic and climate and other evidence), during the period when it was 'warm'. (If you think about it, it makes more sense that an ice damn would collapse and release freshwater when it was under stress -- i.e., melting.) He did get the warm cold sequence right, at least. It made me ask myself if he had other mistakes. Or, if he put forth theories that have been discredited because they sound more dramatic. I stopped reading after this point because it seemed clear that the author did not adequately research the topic outside of his own research area. So, you'd need to be an expert in his area to know which parts of the book to 'trust' that he knows what he is talking about -- and to know which parts had 'dramatic license' applied. But, if you have this level of expertise, you probably would not need/want to read a popular science book on his topic. If you are looking for a nice story, but not to educate yourself, this book is fine. I for one am sorry that I am out $15.

The Taliban Is Getting an Official Office in Qatar
A "peace mission."
The office will be a "peace mission," from which the terrorist group will negotiate with Afghan and Western diplomats. Last year, the U.S. let a more or less random dude into high-level negotiations, and handed him a bunch of money to boot, under the mistaken impression that he was a representative of the Taliban. But surely this office will have swipe cards or something.

What is a good resource for learning music theory, especially as it relates to the guitar, coming from a completely beginner's perspective? I had a musician friend try to teach me about modes such as Mixolydian, but I feel I should start far more basic, and I don't know what is most relevant to modern guitar music.
Check out Dave Weiners Youtube channel he covers all the modes there and a whole lot more, the Mixolydian lesson is particularly good as he applies it to multiple styles and explains why it works.
This guy tours with Vai and still finds time to make these lessons, awesome.
From personal experience: Piano theory lessons.
I started piano when I was 10 or so, and guitar when I was 17. I was amazed at the similarities. One of the things most people don't really think about is that they're actually both string instruments, of the "struck" variety (non-bowed, though of course you can "pluck" guitar strings).
The most valuable part to me was interval training. I was basically tone deaf before I did interval training, and now I can play a lot of songs by ear. This is really valuable with guitar since it's often when you can't find a good tab for a song.
A large portion of music theory is applicable across all instruments -- notes, keys, scales, etc. -- and an even larger portion is applicable across guitar and piano (all the above plus chords, for example). I wouldn't worry too much about getting into guitar-specific theory until you've covered all the basics.
In my opinion this is one of the best sites I have found. Simple, easy to understand, has examples and resources for practicing and memorizing theory, etc. I feel it also moves very smoothly from basics to more complicated subjects. I use it as my primary resource.
A good majority of the teachers that come into our store use Alfreds Esssentials of Music Theory. It does lend itself more towards the piano but its a wonderful series and learning that will only add to your knowledge and ability as a musician. It aslo gives the option of getting just the book, CD, DVD, or some combination of them all. http://www.alfred.com/emt
Another site worth looking at is http://www.musictheory.net/
They cover a lot of the basics and have some neat tools for re-enforcing the lessons.
The best resource may very well be a well educated teacher. One that can play you melody and harmony exercises for you so that you can hear what works and what does not would be especially useful.
Try getting one with a Licentiate and/or Diploma in theory. Also post grad work in theory from a good music school is a great qualification.
I would also recommend Chris Juergensen's lessons. He has a very informal way of explaining things, and with examples which I found very useful. There are plenty of lessons on his website and more in his books.
My teacher recommended Edly's Music Theory for Practical People. I've just started it. I find very readable and appropriate for a complete beginner. It has worksheets to complete in addition to explanations.

Some new pictures from my lovely film ADOX Color Implosion. Camera — Olympus XA2. All photos were taken in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and Ryazan, Russia. May 2016.
Some scans from Fujicolor Pro 160C captured 2-3 January 2016 in the Moscow region. Unfortunately, this film is no longer available.
At 2:00 am yesterday, before going to bed, I've looked out the window and… instead of going to bed, have loaded into the camera roll of Ilford HP5+ film, got dressed and went out into the street. December 17, 2015, Moscow, Russia.
As Iwas preparing for the "Retro Color. Technologies and art" lecture, I stumbled across a remarkable branch where people put up scans of old color film from home archives. Some pictures are so heart-warming, I couldn't resist getting a selection to wax nostalgic about. Unfortunately, I don't have old color film of my own, although even back then I took, developed and even printed images in color. Here you get mostly ORWO from the German Democratic Republic, incredibly popular in the USSr in the 70s and 80s. There was actually very little alternative for color, except SVEMA and sometimes KODAK, if you could get it. Here I was more interested in color than mementos, but it's still an impressive selection.
"White Balance" serie
Malozemelskaya & Bolshezemelskaya Tundra
Nenets Autonomous District, Russia
(c) Pavel Kosenko, 2013-2015
A semi-deserted locality in Murmansk Oblast on the shores of the Barents Sea. Now there is not even a road leading to it, while some 30–40 years back it used to host the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute. I've been there in 2009, with a car from Moscow. It took me 2 days for the first 2000 km, and 6 more hours on an off-roader across tundra for the last 30 km. Now, 5 years past, I recalled that trip in relation to the new Russian Oscar–nominated movie "Leviathan" that was shot on location in those exact places.
While preparing for the trips to the Arctic Circle I was thinking a great deal about what kind of photo equipment to take with me. On the one hand, I wanted to take as little cameras and lenses as possible because it's quite difficult to carry several cameras in severe climatic conditions, let alone changing the lenses which is practically impossible. On the other hand, travelling with only one camera, even if it is expeditionary one, is also risky – what if it gets broken or, for instance, all the batteries, including spare ones, go flat?
In the end, mostly by intuition, I chose two cameras: 'big' Canon 1D X (lens 24-70 f/2.8L) and 'small' Fujifilm X-Pro1 (lens Fujifilm XF 18 mm f/2 R X-Mount). I was tempted to take a film camera as well, just in case, but I decided to confine myself to the excessive reserve of power: I took 2 batteries for the big camera and 5 for the small one. Moreover I had an iPhone but it turned out absolutely useless at 53°C because 100% of battery had drained in 2 minutes.
At some point I was shooting mainly landscape photos. Now, with the time passing, I rarely like any of those, but some still stand out. Like this simple one, taken at the location, where the "Island" movie was shot on the shores of the White sea, next to Kem town (Russia). The photo is taken back in 2009.
I really like the stereotypes of foreigners about Russia – the snow, bears crossing the streets and people in national costumes drink vodka straight from the bottle :) But you know … sometimes reality is almost like that! Of course, you can't see bears in the streets – because bears live at least 10 thousand kilometers from Moscow. And no national clothing can be found except in museums – Russians prefer Gap, Levi's, Calvin Klein, and similar brands. And we also drink vodka sometimes, but more often Italian, French and Chilean dry wine (red, of course, from the decanter). But what one can not take away is the snowing! For example, a couple of days ago we had a monthly norm of snow falling in one single day. This is how it looked from the window of my house:
And two days later:
In general this is a very curious, but after traveling halfway around the world, I like more and more to shoot from the window of my flat on 7th floor. For example, here's one more view two month ago:

The freight allocation problem with all-units quantity-based discount: A heuristic algorithm
This paper studies a problem encountered by a buying office for one of the largest retail distributors in the world. An important task for the buying office is to plan the distribution of goods from Asia to various destinations across Europe. The goods are transported along shipping lanes by shipping companies, which offer different discount rates depending on the freight quantity. To increase the reliability of transportation, the shipper imposes a quantity limit on each shipping company on each shipping lane. To guarantee a minimum business volume, each shipping company requests a minimum total freight quantity over all lanes if it is contracted. The task involves allocating projected demand of each shipping lane to shipping companies subject to the above conditions such that the total cost is minimized.

Published: July 28, 1996
(Page 4 of 9)
It may not matter whether E. B. is black or white, as McKenzie said, but in the supercharged atmosphere of Megan's Law, the Guardian Angels and an ongoing struggle to bring more racial balance to Englewood's public schools -- which are 96 percent nonwhite -- a kind of freelance craziness has been loosed. In April, McKenzie, who has been in the forefront of the school battle, received a letter containing the following passage: "Nigger ugly slut: We don't want nigger vermin to pollute and infest our classrooms. Niggers are criminals, beasts, anti-white racists, brood sows, car jackers, rapists. . . . Niggerization is doomed to fail in the long run. We await the coming of an American Hitler who will finally exterminate every one of you degenerate subhumans."
The quest for E. B. led me to question other sex offenders who have been judged, as E. B. once was, repetitive and compulsive.
Seven hundred and forty of the criminals whom Marion McKenzie, for one, thinks of as sexual monsters are imprisoned at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel, N.J., 30 miles southwest of Englewood. E. B. served three years of his own sentence at Avenel and has attended regular therapy sessions there since his release. Kay Jackson, a former therapist at Avenel, uses the term "sexualized rage" to describe the agitation that leads men -- they are almost always men -- to commit these kinds of crimes. Many of them have in their youths been physically or sexually abused themselves, and their own crimes mix elements of torment, lust and revenge.
Touring the steel-barred corridors of Avenel with Wayne Sager, its assistant superintendent, I encountered a higher class of prisoners than I've ever seen before. Because of the education level of its inmates and its emphasis on therapy, Avenel is known as "the powder-puff derby among state pens," a guard told me, but the average stay is about seven years and there have been no successful escapes since 1980. Though he was once a practicing psychologist, Sager, tall and intense, is now an administrator who handles procedures required by Megan's Law. (Megan Kanka's accused killer, Jesse Timmendequas, served his earlier sentence at Avenel, shunned therapy and was released only because prison officials had no authority to hold him longer.) Sager sends reports on released sex offenders to local prosecutors, who then make the decision on risk level; Sager himself is ambivalent about the law's notification provisions.
"I'm torn," he said as we watched two prisoners prepare a written assignment for their therapy sessions. "If you have a repeat offender with no remorse, a history of violence against children, someone who resists therapy, and he moves into a neighborhood where a lot of children live, it's hard to be against notification. But when someone does well in therapy, continues regular treatment after he's released and is successful on the outside in all measurable ways, it's a different story. If you then put community notification on this man, he loses his job, his new friends desert him, his wife and family are victimized."
Since stress is often a component in sex crimes, Sager made a point of showing me the gym, where inmates come to work off stress and discharge frustrations. Weight lifting helps, he said, but the most popular sport is basketball. Avenel prisoners play against outside teams, occasionally from other prisons. "But the other prisons always have to come here to Avenel," Sager said. "Sex offenders don't play away games."
The prison authorities arranged for me to interview two inmates, volunteers who had been chosen by their therapists and had asked only that their names be changed. One is a rapist-kidnapper, the other a child molester; both are white.
Gary, who has served 19 years of a 30-year sentence for rape and kidnapping, walked into the conference room first. I was not bothered when the prison guard shut the door, leaving us alone, because there was nothing imposing or visibly threatening about Gary. He said he was 5 foot 6, but he looked shorter; with his tidy little goatee, Gary might almost have been a friend of Snow White's.
He is 49 and had been sexually molested at the age of 6. "I just wanted to shrivel and die when the older man abused me," he said in a high but quiet voice. "I wanted love and affection from my mother and father and never could get it, so I had a lot of anger to deal with, and now I've done that." It is not that Gary sounds brainwashed when he says this, but he speaks in a somewhat abstract manner, the manner of a professor whose subject is himself. "Once, after a fight with my father, my mother tried to kill herself. I reacted by stalking women, sometimes with a knife. When I got into trouble, it brought my family together."
Trouble also landed Gary in a Philadelphia jail, where, at 18, he was sodomized and forced to perform oral sex. "I thought I was responsible for my mother's suicide attempt, so whatever happened to me I deserved. My father was passive, my mother dominated the house and everyone in it. One time I tried to hit my mother and my father stopped me. He was never there for me." In this context, Gary's last line has the force of a twisted gag, as though a father who is really there for you will occasionally let you beat up your mother.

Citizens Come Out in Support of Alachua County Sheriff
The half million dollar budget battle between Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell and county commissioners is anything but over. The county commission heard heated public comment Tuesday night. Most were in favor of the sheriff's request to fund the gap instead of make more cuts. Darnell argued cuts simply aren't possible and public safety is on the line. Addressing the commission, she said weekend security over the proposed Koran burning best illustrates her department needs. She said she is prepared for a long fight.
"I have no other options than to take this to Tallahassee and what this will do is cause additional costs upon the community," said Darnell.
When asked about whether last night's comments by the public will effect the budget, County Commission Chair Cynthia Chestnut replied, "No comment." To see more on the meeting, click on the video to your right.

France had entered the clash of Europe's titans buoyed by a team spirit unseen since 2006, when senior players discarded the 'wisdom' of coach Raymond Domenech and inspired themselves to the final. Germany, meanwhile, were toiling, scraping out wins and draws against inferior opposition.
But, as Loew hinted before the match, the Germans are in this for the long haul, conserving energy, playing with slightly different tactics to previous tournaments, seeking to dominate possession, press high up the pitch, tire their opponents.
That's how it panned out on Friday as Germany – thanks to a header from man-of-the-match Mats Hummels – scraped past France with a 1-0 victory that had all the hallmarks of Spain's performances in South Africa and Poland/Ukraine. Plus the heat.
As Germany made changes following their much-criticised extra-time win over Algeria, Per Mertesacker – who struggled but also appeared to pay the price for comments made in the press – was one of three players dropped, along with Mario Goetze and Shdokran Mustafi. Mustafi, the young right-back, was actually fairly competent in his duties in Porto Alegre, but it was decided that Philipp Lahm would be better deployed in his natural role, with Mats Hummels returning in central defence alongside Jerome Boateng. Miroslav Klose was also given a chance to extend his goal-scoring record, as he was handed a start as Joachim Loew shifted Thomas Mueller to the right.
France, meanwhile, did as expected, taking Olivier Giroud out of the firing line and giving a start to exciting youngster Antoine Griezmann. That didn't work out in the end. There was another possible selection error too – Laurent Koscielny was benched, and, his replacement, Raphael Varane, was partly responsible for the game's only goal. Experience was needed against the Germans, but Didier Deschamps trusted his youth.
Perhaps they had prepared for a different Germany XI; certainly most reporters had. It was a bold move by Loew, but not a risky one – after all, these players have plenty of experience working together for Die Mannschaft. It's not as if Klose and Khedira are a pair of young bucks looking to make a name for themselves – their team-mates know them inside out, regardless of recent selections.
Germany have been underwhelming if effective at this World Cup, while France among the entertainers; but Loew's side started the brightest, as Mueller combined neatly with Klose, who gave them a focal point in attack that had lacked in previous matches.
France took nearly 10 minutes to hit their stride, and when they did it was almost spectacular. A lovely, crisp passing move culminated in a Karim Benzema volley that flashed just wide of the diving Manuel Neuer's post; warning, if needed, that Germany were facing a formidable opposition.
As Loew pointed out pre-match, Neuer's positioning higher up the pitch is a deliberate ploy, allowing his centre-halves to push forward. However, France are not Algeria, and they were getting a lot of joy out wide: the ultimately disappointing Griezmann's run in behind should have yielded a better cross to the unmarked Benzema.
But it was Germany who took the lead, from a trusted set piece. The delivery from Toni Kroos was excellent, dipping on to the head of the returning Hummels, but the marking was poor as Loew celebrated his side's efficiency with the dead ball. For Hummels, read Carles Puyol.
Mats Hummels celebrates scoring Germany's winning goal against France
It was the engaging, open match everyone had wanted. None of this deep-lying, play-for-penalties nonsense of the second round: both teams wanted to win it in the 90.
Germany, having been rattled by the criticism, were doing exactly what coach and fans had promised – rising to the occasion. France, in spite of Didier Deschamps' pre-game claims, were feeling the pressure, struggling to cope.
As half-time beckoned, France improved, electing to play to their relative strengths instead of submitting to Germany's pressure. They should have equalised but for Neuer and Lahm's blocks from Mathieu Valbuena and Benzema.
In true Spanish style, Germany were seeking to break up the play: in addition to Klose's simulations, Mueller got in on the act, while Sami Khedira spent an age on the deck after his face was brushed by a football.
For all of Germany's inability to actually win anything in recent years, the unit's big-game experience was telling. This was a different performance to that which verged on poor in Porto Alegre.
But France, having toiled early on, were now making a fist of it, Benzema stinging the palms of Neuer after a fine take and turn. The second half initially continued in this vein, the balance of power shifting towards France.
Now it was Hugo Lloris loitering outside his area as his defenders pushed high up the pitch, pegging Germany back as cries of 'Allez Les Bleus' started to ring around the Maracana.
They were getting closer and closer, an errant first touch denying Griezmann a clear run at goal, Valbuena repeating the trick minutes later. Blaise Matuidi was going on those surging drives of his, Varane went close with a header, Germany were pegged back and surely it was a matter of time?
Had Germany pushed too hard in the early afternoon heat? Was this 'dope-a-rope' strategy the correct one from Deschamps, as his side grew into the match?
Not really, for France had gone too hard and were now running out of steam, the afternoon sun still blazing over Rio. The match was losing its spark and thus any chance of a turnaround. The neutrals grew restless, the French nervous.
Germany made the first change, replacing the exhausted Klose with Andre Schuerrle, unfortunate not to start after his match-winning turn in the last 16. Seconds later, Mueller flashed a low drive just wide, as that early energy returned to their game.
It came when midfielder Yohan Cabaye was replaced by striker Loic Remy, as France went three up top. There was a touch more zip about them, Benzema's flashing drive valiantly blocked by Hummels, before Neuer palmed away Matuidi's effort.
A lucky ricochet at a corner almost did for Neuer, landing inches wide of the post, and then – against the run of play, of course – Germany should have killed the game on the break, Lloris saving brilliantly with his legs as Schuerrle looked set to put it to bed.
Time was ticking away and Germany already sensed an opportunity to kill the game, taking the ball into the corners for successive set plays.
With five minutes left Deschamps elected to introduce the battering ram of Olivier Giroud. Why he wasn't used earlier will remain one of this tournament's great mysteries. At that point it was better not bringing him on at all and retaining some guile in Valbuena, or bring on an attacking midfielder with some drive or vision? However, Remy Cabella and Moussa Sissoko remained on the bench.
There was a late chance as Benzema forced a smart stop from Neuer at a tight angle, but the day was Germany's. France go back to the drawing board, although with plenty of positives from this tournament it is likely Deschamps will still be holding the chalk.
And what of Germany? After unconvincing displays earlier in the tournament, they now enter a semi-final with either hosts Brazil or the delirious Colombia.
One match from a final showdown, Argentina the favourites to get there, although the Dutch and Belgians will fancy their chances.
Predicting an all-European final would be premature though – Colombia and Brazil had no struggles maintaining a quick attacking tempo in similar temperatures, and the winner of that match will fancy their chances against the Germans.
But, as they have shown time and time again, write them off at your peril.

Adidas keep on delivering the goods with the reissued range, and this is up there with the best. The colour combination allows you to wear it dressed down or even with a blazer for an edgier, smarter urban look. I didn't give it full marks (4.5) as it's just a tiny amount too big compared to the other gazelles I have in the same size. The stiffer out of the box tongue takes about 30 minutes to soften up, too. Yet ultimately, it feels like the other gazelles, only slightly more bouncier and supportive due to the extra 1/4 inch on the outsole. I've already ordered the red ones and this would then take me into 6 pairs of these. Why? Because it has some of the best aesthetics of any trainer/ shoe I've ever seen. ... read more
A shoe that never goes out of style, just bought another pair since my last ones were worn out. Fits well with a low profile, it's the perfect shoe for summer and looks good with both shorts and pants. Highly recommend. ... read more
Im disappointed that adidas had to revamp this classic with an ugly tongue, they should just sell it with the shorter blue tongue the way gazelles are meant to be! Tried to get a pair but none of the UK retailers deliver so have to make do with this new redesign, shame. ... read more

Shoes look cool, however the sole is stiff (maybe it loosens up after a while) and the fabric materia doesn't allow much breathing of the foot, making it uncomfortable to wear in hot weather as the feet become too hot. ... read more

I have worn Adidas Sambas for more than 25 years. They were the only sneaker shoe I have worn. I have been a loyal Adidas Samba owner and have had more than 40 pairs of them over the years. WHAT HAPPENED ADIDAS? Your 12.5 size is smaller than they used to be, while the 13's are still too big. The leather is hard and looks like plastic! I bought the last several pairs online because local stores no longer carry 12.5. With my purchase several months ago, I initially thought it was a mistake, so I literally bought another pair but they are still too small as well. I still have old pairs to compare them with and the new ones are smaller. SIZE MATTERS - SO DO CUSTOMERS What happened Adidas? ... read more
I found these much more comfortable than 'standard' Stan Smiths due to the one piece construction meaning no sewn seams. The quality of leather seems better too - a lot softer. I'm normally a UK size 12, but 11.5 was plenty big enough in this shoe. ... read more
I was waiting for them one week and when i saw them i was really dissapointed about the size, i have 6 and they are quite small and narrow for a normal UK 6 and the quality it's questionable of leather .

I have two Kahr arms a CW9 and a TP 45.
They both are very accurate and very concealable.
I will say the 9 is dream to shoot very little recoil and very controllable shooting 115 grain HP. When I have this I do not feel under gunned in any way. This in my mind is one of the most affordable best value in defensive handguns on the market.
Because the 45 is larger it is very manageable as well really accurate. It is not as concealed but as a larger framed handguns goes it to is very concealable.
Kahr is an excellent choice I prefer the 9 in the smaller package.

I call it: "minimal plus."

10 Ideas to Steal from Scandinavian-Style Master Bedrooms
Skona Hem via Blackford & Sons
Scandinavian interiors appeal to our desire for cleanliness, serenity, and room to breathe. These elements are particularly appealing in bedrooms, which, above all rooms in a home, should inspire calm and relaxation. Here are some ideas to steal from the Scandinavian style we love.
Steal this Color Idea for a Tranquil, Organic Home
If you saw our tour of Laura and Blaine's Restful 1920s Asheville Home, you know that their place is really peaceful. They've opted for a muted color palette, relying heavy on basic white to give their home a sense of tranquility (and to better show off their collection of artwork and objects), so I was surprised to discover there was a lesson to be had here in how to use color at home.

Nour El Sherif going through a midlife crisis
Prominent Egyptian actor Nour El Sherif is in the process of filming the first scenes of his upcoming television drama "Al Rajul Al Lathi" (The Man That…), which is scheduled to be aired during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The drama revolves around a man who is going through a midlife crisis and how he tries to find ways of getting out of it.
According to the Saudi based daily, Al Riyadh, the drama has already entered the race of dramas to be screened during Ramadan, and several satellite channels are negotiating to buy rights to air it on their stations. The drama tackles social problems faced in everyday society and attempts to give solutions to a number of problems.
Nour is also preparing for an upcoming film, which is a joint cooperation between Egypt and China. Nour had agreed on taking part in the film during his last visit to China to attend the Egyptian cultural week. During the Cultural week a number of Egyptian films were screened as a part of the cultural cooperation between the two countries. Nour will begin implementation of the film in the near future, marking the emergence of Egyptian movies into the Far East market.
El Sherif has admitted that he constantly undergoes psychotherapy sessions when he feels he is encountering psychological problems that can not be resolved easily. The actor stressed that he is not ashamed to admit going to such a doctor for psychotherapy is very helpful when someone is experiencing mental and emotional problems.
Nour had rejected to sign a contract for a new TV drama to represent famous Islamic leader Khaled Bin Alwaleed unless an official approval by Al Azhar is given. Nour had previously showed his enthusiasm to perform the role after watching a movie done by late actor Hussein Sidqi, so he immediately asked writer Sami Guneim to transform the story intto a TV drama.
El Sherif retracted and asked the author to have Al Azhar's approval first before signing any formal contract, in order not to face any complications. If this project receives the approval of AL Azhar, it will eventually open the gateway to the production of more dramas representing famous figures in Islamic history like Abu Baker, Othman bin Affan , and Ali Bin Abi Taleb. –Albawaba.com

Golden Valley man accused of killing roommate
Louie Manuel Torres
He said shots were intended as a warning
By Doug McMurdo
GOLDEN VALLEY - One man is dead and his roommate is in jail following a shooting Monday evening in Golden Valley.
Louie Manuel Torres, 61, was taken into custody and charged with manslaughter and other felonies after he reportedly told deputies he accidentally shot his roommate in the neck while firing warning shots.
Jeffrey Todd Allen, 44, was declared dead where he lay in the driveway.
Deputies responded to a weapons offense call in the 2000 block of S. Cheri Lane at about 6:48 p.m. A neighbor told deputies that shots were fired at the Torres home.
At the same time, they observed Torres walking in the street with a firearm stuck in his waistband. They conducted a high-risk stop and took Torres into custody.
The weapon deputies believe was used in the shooting is a .44-caliber magnum revolver.
According to
Mohave County Sheriff's Office
spokeswoman Trish Carter, investigators determined the two men were roommates and they got into an argument that turned physical.
Allen left the residence, according to Carter, and was shot as he walked up the driveway upon his return. Torres reportedly told deputies he fired three warning shots to scare Allen, but one of the rounds struck the victim in the neck.
In addition to facing a charge of manslaughter-reckless, Torres also was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

KCRW Presents: Thurston Moore
KCRW Presents: Thurston Moore
Set List
- "Mina Loy"
- "Blood Never Lies"
- "Circulation"
- "Illuminine"
- "Benediction"
- "Orchard Street"
- "In Silver Rain With a Paper Key"
Thurston Moore's new album, Demolished Thoughts, is unlike his work with Sonic Youth — or his two past solo records. It's clear that Beck, as his producer, guided him in a direction that showcases his poetic lyrics in moody acoustic arrangements. Moore, who read poetry between songs during his Morning Becomes Eclectic appearance, brought a harpist and violinist to accompany him in studio. Together, they brought to life some of the best songs from the album, including "Blood Never Lies."

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Passings | Underground comics writer Dennis Eichhorn passed away on Oct. 8 at age 70. He's best known for his autobiographical comic series Real Stuff, which often involved tales of alcohol, sex and drugs. Published from 1990 to 1995 by Fantagraphics, the multiple Eisner-nominated Real Stuff was illustrated by the likes of Lynda Barry, Chester Brown, Peter Kuper, Joe Sacco, Roberta Gregory and Ed Brubaker. [The Stranger]
Legal | Iranian cartoonist Atena Farghadani, already serving a 12-year sentence for a cartoon depicting members of the Iranian parliament with animal heads, and under investigation for shaking hands with her male lawyer, had to endure yet another indignity in August: She was forced to undergo a "forced virginity and pregnancy test" as part of the investigation of the latter charge. "In doing so, the Iranian judicial authorities have truly reached an outrageous low, seeking to exploit the stigma attached to sexual and gender-based violence in order to intimidate, punish or harass her," said Said Boumedouha of Amnesty International, which is calling for her release. [Amnesty International]
Graphic novels | The long-running Belgian comic Blake and Mortimer, created by Herge contemporary Edgar P. Jacobs and currently the work of Yves Sente and Andre Juillard, will get a prequel. The series launched in Tintin magazine in 1946, and when they re-read the first episode, Sente and Juillard found themselves asking a lot of questions — so they answered them in their latest volume, The Staff of Plutarch. [Agence France-Presse]
Creators | Kelly Sue DeConnick discusses her new Image Comics series Bitch Planet. [Paste]
Creators | HOW magazine interviews artist Kody Chamberlain (Punks, Sweets). [HOW]
There's are a number of reasons why Dennis Eichhorn's Real Stuff was regarded as one of the better autobiographical comics of the 1990s. One thing, of course, was that he has lived an interesting and varied life – including a stint in jail – and has come across some unique, and at times bizarre, characters.
The other is that Eichhorn was a gifted raconteur, knowing exactly what beats of his story to hit and when, and the perfect point to deliver the punchline, even if it was retelling a funny thing someone said over drinks. Add to that the fact he collaborated with some of the most talented cartoonists in the industry at the time – Mary Fleener, Julie Doucet, Peter Bagge and Chester Brown, to name just a few – and tailored his stories to fit each artist's unique strengths. I don't know how the division of labor works with Eichhorn, whether he gives out detailed thumbnails or just a page of uninterrupted text, but he seems to understand the rhythm of comics exceedingly well.
