Williamsburg used to have an H at the end of its name, not to mention dozens of major industries that once made it the tenth wealthiest place in the world. How did Williamsburgh become a haven for New York's most well-known factories and how did it then become the wildly diverse neighborhood it is today? Find out how its history connects with whalebones, baseball, beer, and medicine for intestinal worms.
This show was originally recorded on January 29, 2009, so there are a few remarks that may seem startling today. The neighborhood has changed so much since then!

Just read the comments from Lucas on signing his new contract ...I have to say he sounds like a player from our bygone glory daze...exactly the right attitude a lad clearly PROUD to wear the shirt.

Colin I agree, and a good day when we can tie him up for a few more years. More impressive as a player because the strength of character he's shown to overcome the boo boys in his first couple seasons and come out as a fan favorite.
It's also a good omen for keeping some of our other top players. It's no secret that Lucas is very popular in the dressing room, and very close to Suarez, so hopefully this is a sign of a collective buy in on the direction we're going. Stability imo is key for us to make progress. We need to add to the squad and not have to worry about replacing key players if we want to keep moving forward in improving the quality of the starting 11 and the depth of the squad.

Dave we dont agree too often mate but let me say I agree with every word of u post here. This is indeed the way to move forward and create new Glory Days. Forget about selling key players and concentrate on getting in the best talent we can to compliment them otherwise we are just another selling club always looking enviously at the top 4 teams challenging for all the honours where all we have is some ..."PROFITABILITY"
Yes it's great news. He's now like Dunga, whereas when he came to us he was just Dung! Considering he has altered position from that in Brazil his transformation is remarkable. Things did start to fall apart for us when he did his knee at Chelsea.

· Auld Lang Syne tease in AC/DC Bag
· Auld Lang Syne tease in Ghost
Noteworthy Jams: Ghost
Average Song Gap: 39.07
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: AC/DC Bag and Ghost contained Auld Lang Syne teases. Swept Away and Steep were played for the first time since July 1, 2000 (145 shows). Demand was played for the first time since November 14, 1996 (392 shows). NO2 was played for the first time since July 13, 1999 (219 shows). Prior to the third set, a pedestal stating 2010 was placed on the front of the stage and a covered structure was placed behind Fish's drumset. During DWD, as the clock turned midnight, hundreds of balloons were released upon the crowd, fireworks went off on each side of the stage, and a disco ball was lowered onto the pedestal. After DWD, Trey opened the ball and Fish climbed inside. Trey and Mike, with some help from stagehands, proceeded to put the ball in a giant cannon aimed towards a giant net hanging from the rafters with an illuminated "X" on it. Page hit the trigger and purportedly "blasted" the ball through, not only the net, but also the roof of the arena. A searchlight appeared to come through the roof and was accompanied by helicopter sounds. With Fish apparently shot out of the venue, Trey asked if anybody knew how to play the drums and ended up finding Sarah, a girl from Pittsburgh. Trey asked how long she had played the drums and what her favorite song was and she responded with six months and Fluffhead respectively. Sarah was surreptitiously replaced by Fish, now wearing a dress identical to Sarah's and a black wig, who played the entire third set and encore, but Sarah came out at the end of the third set and bowed with the band instead of him. Blue Moon was a Phish debut and was performed as an instrumental while Trey thanked the entire crew. After the show, the disco ball was revealed to have "crashed" into a white car that had been parked in front of the American Airlines Arena with a sign on the windshield stating "This car was driven down from Vermont" and "fueled by maple syrup." After being "struck" by the "human cannonball," the car was emitting smoke and leaking maple syrup and the entire area was cordoned off with police tape.

This is an increase of $3,000 from the Arts Works grant Bravo was awarded by the NEA in 2012. This is Bravo's ninth year as a grant recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Arts Works grant will support Bravo's 2013 efforts to expand and diversify music opportunities and education programs including Music Matters programs, community engagement concerts, master classes and the Young Professionals-in-Residence program.
"We are honored to receive this level of recognition and support from the NEA," said James W. Palermo, Bravo's executive director. "This grant is an investment in Bravo and the Vail Valley as the funds support our mission to enrich people's lives through the power of music. The award makes it possible for us to continue to bring world-class music to Vail."

Your "Ironman Lake Tahoe: More than 3,100 volunteers needed" article conveniently omits the fact that the Ironman is a for-profit event benefiting a private equity firm (Providence Equity Partners). I'm excited to see it come to Tahoe and think it will be a great economic boost during the shoulder season. However, I find the call for volunteers a bit disingenuous.
Unlike most volunteer work, time given to Ironman Lake Tahoe will go directly toward lining the pockets of an East Coast firm. It will not benefit the disadvantaged, clean up the environment or help out a needy nonprofit. I wish no one ill will for participating if they have a personal incentive to do so, e.g., priority registration for 2014.
However your article should make it clearer that volunteering for the Ironman is nothing like volunteering for your local 501(c)3 nonprofit.

ST. LOUIS -- Giants right-hander Matt Cain will be put on the disabled list for the second time in two months. Cain strained his right hamstring May 21 and hasn't started since. He was scheduled to return to the mound Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Giants opted to take a cautious approach.
"We're going to take the safe route here," Bochy said. "It's a few more days to where we'd really be convinced he was 100 percent. We just at this point don't think it's worth the risk. We don't want to put him in a situation where he's at risk of re-injuring this."
Bochy said Cain felt fine while running and throwing, but there's still a little something nagging him in that strained hamstring. Cain wanted to start, but was overruled. Yusmeiro Petit will replace Cain for a second straight time. Outfielder Juan Perez was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to take Cain's roster spot.
Cain is tentatively scheduled to come off the disabled list June 6 and start the opener of a homestand at AT&T Park. Bochy said that if Saturday's game was taking place in September and not May, Cain would be cleared to take the mound. But with a 61/2-game lead in the division, there's no point in pushing one of their most important players. Cain had never been on the disabled list before getting hit by a line drive last summer. He was placed on the DL this April after cutting his finger while styling a ham and cheese sandwich.
Cain isn't the only Giants star nursing an injury. Catcher Buster Posey was out of the lineup a second straight day because of nerve irritation in his lower back.

A Center man sustained moderate injuries in a one-car crash Saturday night in Ralls County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol the accident happened at 8:58 p.m. on Route A west of Sydney Road.
A 1992 Pontiac Firebird was being driven west by Howard C. Lake, 47, of Center when he swerved to avoid a deer. The car left the road and struck a tree.
Lake, who was wearing a safety device, was taken to Hannibal Regional Hospital by a highway patrol trooper who responded to the scene.

As far as I know, Adobe Fireworks CS3 (Adobe CS3 includes what was in Macromedia Studio 8) is universal, along with the rest of the CS3 suite.
This is the best app!! But it isn't UNIVERSAL yet... does anyone know another program with similiar features but universal? THANKS!!!
This is bar far the best layout app available. Hands down wins over photoshop for doing layouts.
this is my favorite webdesign tool. its the best for layouts.
only the person who listed the app can modify it, including adding an icon. This should be changing within a week or so according to Arne.
How can one upload an icon for this?

Preakness next jewel for Derby winner Orb's Triple Crown chase
LOUISVILLE Kentucky Derby champion Orb can be ferocious in his stall at times, but the 3-year-old colt showed a kinder, softer side Sunday morning, the day after winning the 139th running of America's premier race.
Maybe it was the roses.
Abbey Huffman, 14, and her sister, Annie, 11, took turns giving peppermint treats to the big son of Malibu Moon. They petted him as he posed for photographs and soaked in the adoration that followed his Derby coronation.
The Huffman sisters were at Barn 43 with their mother, Christi, and father, Ben Huffman, racing secretary at Churchill Downs.
"This is our Derby tradition," Christi Huffman said. "We've been doing it since Street Sense won in 2007. It's Sunday morning on the track backside and then Denny's for breakfast."
Orb's trainer Claude "Shug" McGaughey, the unfair onus of not winning the Derby off his stout back, spent early Sunday morning taping a segment for NBC's "Today Show." After the taping he joined the crowd of fans and media gathered around Barn 43.
McGaughey said he had checked in on Orb before daybreak Sunday and saw that the colt had eaten well, was standing tall in his stall and appeared fine after his romp over the Churchill Downs sloppy main track. He said Orb has recovered well from his previous seven races, and he appeared to be on track for the same after the Derby win, his fifth win in a row. He shipped Orb back to Belmont Park early Sunday morning and said the colt will run in the Preakness in two weeks to try and win the second jewel in racing's Triple Crown. There hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed did it in 1978.
"Can't wait to get there," McGaughey said of his home base. "We'll get him back home and back in the atmosphere around his old barn. We'll get him freshened up and let him run again."
Asked if he minded being a target now that he's won, McGaughey continued to show the confidence and swagger he did before the Derby.
"I'd like the target on me," he said. "I can take it. I'm enjoying this whole experience. I'm not going to let myself get involved in concerns. I think we have an awfully good horse, and if he goes over to Pimlico and runs his race, he's going to be awfully tough to beat."
The Preakness, set for May 18, is shaping up as a much different race with a very different field than the Derby, but then, it usually does. It's limited to 14 horses, and it's the shortest of the Triple Crown runs at 1 3/16 miles. There's usually high attrition in the ranks of 3-year-olds by the third Saturday in May.
Dallas Stewart, trainer of the Derby's long-shot second-place finisher, Golden Soul ($38.60 to place), said he will skip the Preakness and point the son of Perfect Soul for the Belmont Stakes.
Trainer Todd Pletcher said none of his five starters would race in the Preakness. He's aiming for the Belmont Stakes with Revolutionary, who was third in the Derby, and Overanalyze, who was 11th. He said Verrazano has a gash on his left hock, but he wasn't sure how the colt was injured. The cut didn't require stitches.
Trainer Doug O'Neill said Goldencents (disappointing 17th in the Derby) will race in the Preakness. He said the colt was fine Sunday morning, but he still was mystified about why the colt didn't respond when jockey Kevin Krigger asked him to run.
As of midday Sunday, the list of possible starters for the Preakness included Orb, Oxbow (sixth in the Derby), Will Take Charge (8th in the Derby), Itsmyluckyday (15th in the Derby), Bellarmine, Illinois Derby winner Departing, Fear The Kitten (an also eligible for the Derby trained by Mike Maker) and Mike Pegram's Govenor Charlie (trained by Bob Baffert).

A sentencing hearing for a former McLoud teacher charged with 31 felony counts involving inappropriate conduct with her third grade students changed midway through Friday when the teacher decided to change her plea from no contest to guilty.
Kimberly Ann Crain, 50, appeared before Pottawatomie County District Judge John Canavan for a sentencing hearing on 18 counts of sexual exploitation of a child under 12, one count of conspiracy and one count of lewd molestation, along with 11 counts of possession of child pornography.
During the morning of testimony, the defense called eight character witnesses, including a pastor, and members of the defendant's family, along with a doctor to the witness stand. After a lunch break, court was scheduled to resume wiht the prosecution presenting witnesses to testify as part of the sentencing hearing. The Pottawatomie County courtroom was packed.
But before it resumed, Crain decided to change her plea to guilty. She also read a letter aloud, addressing members of her family and the community.
Crain pleaded no contest in January, the same day her co-defendant, Gary J. Doby, 66, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 life sentences, plus concurrent 20-year and 10-year-sentences. Both entered their pleas to avoid trial.
Crain taught third grade at McLoud Elementary School until she resigned amid an ongoing investigation on Nov. 28, 2011.
Prosecutors alleged Crain, while working as a teacher, took photos of as many as 14 young girls while they were changing clothes, some in her classroom and others while at her home.
She then shared those images with Doby, a former Oklahoma Baptist University professor who lived in Pennsylvania and with whom she had an ongoing relationship.
For an in-depth story on today's sentencing, watch for updates here and see the full story in Saturday's News-Star.

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. – Four members of the Mount Vernon Get Money Gangstas street gang pleaded guilty to reduced charges in Westchester County court and now face lengthy prison sentences.
Mark "Markie" Ogilvie, 25; Tyron "Yayo" McCallum, 27; Travis "Trav" Clarke, 25, all of Mount Vernon; and Bronx native Jason "Dutch" White, 32, pleaded guilty to a series of felony charges stemming from an investigation into several homicides that occurred in March 2012, according to Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore.
Ogilvie pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree manslaughter and one count of criminal possession of a weapon. McCallum pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and one count of criminal possession of a weapon. Each crime is a felony.
Clarke, the group's youngest member, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder, while White pleaded guilty to a felony count of criminal possession of a weapon.
Each of the Mount Vernon defendants stood accused of second-degree murder for their role in gang hits on March 11, 2012 that left three men dead.
The first victim, Russell Watkins, a Get Money Gangstas associate, was shot while riding his dirt bike in front of a series of witnesses on Seventh Avenue. The investigation into that murder is ongoing, though it is believed the suspect is a member of a rival street gang, the Goonies.
In retaliation, two associates of the Goonies were "hunted down," shot and killed later that day.
Shortly before 9 p.m., Stephon Ramsey was shot and killed as he attempted to leave his home. The victim suffered gunshot wounds to the back of his head and right thigh. He died in Jacobi Medical Center eight days later.
Approximately two hours later, Cleveland Baxter was shot while driving his BMW. He died in Mount Vernon Hospital the next day. Six rounds were found in his body during the autopsy. The gun used by the defendants was sold and later recovered by the NYPD in the Bronx.
The joint investigation included officials from the District Attorney's office, Mount Vernon Police Department, the state Department of Corrections and the FBI. Each of the defendants will be sentenced in the spring.
"In our targeting these gangs, Mount Vernon has seen its gun violence homicides reduced dramatically," DiFiore said. "The city is now a safer place for all its citizens, some of the same citizens that allowed both the DA and city detectives to develop their trust and confidence, thus allowing witnesses to come forward, resulting in today's guilty pleas."
JACKSON HEIGHTS — A teen high-fived his friends after a rival gang member was shot and later told police he hoped the victim died, police said.
Ivan Gomez, 17, was captured on video with two friends — who are still at large — approaching the victim and beginning to fight in front of a deli at 90th Street and 37th Avenue at 7:45 p.m. on Dec. 22, police said.
The victim was shot in the back after running away from the group, according to the NYPD.
The three suspects were seen on video high-fiving one another after shooting the victim, who was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with a collapsed lung.
Gomez, who has no criminal record, later told police he and his friends "held it down," police said.
"We f--ked him up, I hope that motherf--ker dies," he told officers, according to the criminal complaint.
Police sources said he was not the shooter.
Just an hour before the shooting, Gomez and his two friends robbed another man in front of the deli at 6:45 p.m., swiping his cellphone and threatening him with a gun, according to prosecutors.
Both incidents are gang-related, police said.
Gomez was arrested on Jan. 6, and was charged with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon and robbery for both incidents, police said.
A message left for his lawyer was not immediately returned.
A student used a loaded gun to strike a classmate inside Progress HS for Professional Careers in Brooklyn — just hours before two other students were shot in a gang-related fight, The Post has learned.
News of the hallway assault shocked and angered staffers in the Grand Street Campus, a building that houses three Williamsburg high schools, because many were not informed about the incident at the time, sources say.
"Why weren't we told? We want to be on the alert. We want to have a heads up," an insider said.
Some blamed Progress Principal William Jusino, who lobbied hard to have metal detectors removed from the building in 1996.
In the school last Tuesday at about 1:30 p.m., a 17-year-old boy was walking to class when Traevon Stokes, 18, pulled the loaded pistol from his pants and struck him in the head, cops said.
A school safety agent spotted the attack and seized the gun. Stokes was arrested and charged with assault and criminal weapon possession. The victim was treated at the scene.
At about 2:50 p.m., shortly after dismissal, shots rang out less than a block away. A 17-year-old boy was shot in the arm and a 14-year-old girl was struck in the leg. The boy was the intended target, police said.
The shooter jumped on a bus and fled. Cops later found a .25 caliber handgun believed to have been used in the shooting, but have not yet made any arrests.
The shooting was apparently gang-related, cops said. Whether the shooting and earlier gun attack are related is under investigation.
The NYPD has since stationed mobile metal detectors at the school.
Jusino did not return a call or e-mail, but told The Post in 2011 that he opposed permanent scanners.
"We greet students at the door with respect," he said.
Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, said those results speak to the direct and positive impact the group has made on the community. "It can best be seen so far in the way we have been attempting to uproot the gang members away from the bodegas and convenience stores where they have been problematic. Harrasing women, intimidating the customers and threatening the store owners. Most important, when the children walk by, they now see there is an alternative to MS-13 and 18th Street gangs. It is the Guardian Angels."
In November, at a mass held at St. Agnes R.C. Church in Greenport, members of the Latino community applauded the Guardian Angels and signed up to join patrols as new recruits; two of those new members were present Saturday night.
Next, the Guardian Angels are set to commence patrols this month in Riverhead, Sliwa said; in December, Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter said he'd welcome the Guardian Angels to Riverhead with an eye toward combating gang activity and keeping the Latino community safe from "thugs".
"Our successful launch of the Guardian Angels in the immigrant community of Greenport has paved the way for the start of our effort in Riverhead. Our first patrol will go out the last week of January. The town supervisor has requested that we focus on the immigrant community of Riverhead where a number of crime problems have taken place of late. We will be seeking recruits from that community to patrol Riverhead as Guardian Angels," Sliwa said.
After the alleged gang attack in Southold in October, Sliwa offered to help address what he considers a growing threat not only on the North Fork but nationwide.
Sliwa has said that having Guardian Angels from the immigrant community who speak Spanish is critical, to reach out to the burgeoning Latino community most vulnerable to gangs preying on their youth. It happens most often in local school districts — with some children recruited into MS-13 and 18th Street gangs as young as six years old. Forming bonds of trust within the Latino community, the Guardian Angels in Greenport are able to bridge gaps and communicate with those who've long felt disenfranchised and want to keep their streets safe from gangs, he said.
"It's important to realize that this is a community that wants to help themselves," Sliwa said.
During an earlier patrol in December, new recruits spoke to SoutholdLOCAL about what had compelled them to don the red jackets and berets that are the hallmark of the Guardian Angels — and to hit the streets.
"I have kids, a 14 year old and an 18-month old," said Oscar Cruz of Greenport. "Every generation, they're waiting for help from the outside, or waiting for cops to do the job. I want to make a difference. If we can do something about leaving our streets safe for our children, for the future, even if we catch one bad guy, it will make a difference."
He added, "It's better to start today to make a change, rather than waiting for the next generation."
Oscar Sanchez said he has long been motivated to get involved after Eber Lopez, 15, of Greenport was shot by alleged gang members in 2009. The teen, who went missing after a christening, was found in Farmingville.
Sanchez he knew the boy, and since his death, always felt the need to do something to stem the tide of gang activity in his own community. "He was at a party with gang members. And then he was shot," he said.
"I like helping the community," added Minor Barcarsel of Greenport.
Gabriel Gonzales said he joined the effort "to clean up the community and get rid of the gangs. We want to protect all the children."
One woman, who declined to be named out of fear for her own safety, confirmed in December that she hoped to join the Guardian Angels; she was moved to take action after her brother was almost assaulted by a known MS-13 gang member in Greenport.
Another employee of a local business who saw the Guardian Angels gathered outside Monday night said she was happy to see them in the village. "Having them here means more security," she said.
Cops were warned on Friday that a Brooklyn street gang may be gunning for them soon, according to authorities.
Detectives from Brownsville's 73rd Precinct received information that the gang, known as the Young Gunnerz, have made "threats of violence" against cops, according to the internal memo, acquired by the Daily News on Friday.
Cops citywide were told to be careful, especially in Brownsville and the Howard Houses where the gang is active.
"All (officers) on patrol are to use caution and to be aware of their surroundings at all times," the memo noted. Earlier this week, cops were told members of the Latin Kings had planned to shoot cops in the Bronx, but the threat was ultimately deemed not credible.
Cops across the city have been warned of a possible plot by the Latin Kings gang to shoot officers at a specific Bronx intersection in the coming weeks, according to police sources.
The department named seven believed associates of the notorious gang who were possibly planning to ambush cops at W. Farms Road and E. Tremont Ave. in Castle Hill during the week of Jan. 19, according to the NYPD's intelligence bureau, which transmitted the threat to all posts and commands on Sunday.
An informant reported the alleged plot to cops, but the threat had not yet been verified, according to the memo, which nevertheless urged rank and file cops to use extreme caution when interacting with the men.
At least two of the potential threat-makers have served time in state prison on charges of attempted robbery and weapons possession, according to public records.
Fourteen members of the Latin Kings street gang have been indicted on charges accusing them of attacks against rivals that left four victims maimed for life, law enforcement officials announced Thursday.
One victim was stabbed and nearly scalped in an attack last year, according to the indictment. Three of his fellow gang members who were present at the time were also assaulted. They all survived.

"The streets of Brooklyn do not belong to the Latin Kings but to the people of Brooklyn, and our streets after now safer as a result of these arrests," Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson said in a statement.
Ten of the indicted gang members were arrested Wednesday; four were already behind bars. They were arraigned in Brooklyn Supreme Court and nine were ordered to return to court in January. The lead defendant, Luis Blanco, 26, alleged "First Crown" of the Latin King's Outlaw tribe, was held without bail.

The charges against them include attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, gang assault and tampering with witnesses in connection with attacks on seven rivals of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation's Outlaws tribe, according to the indictment.
If convicted of the most serious charges, each defendant faces up to 25 years in prison, Thompson said.
The charges stem from attacks against rival gang members that began in September, 2013.
A second indictment charges four individuals, including a Latin King, with kidnapping and other crimes in connection with an assault and robbery on Oct. 21 in East New York.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) undefined A 10th Street Gang member was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison for the murder of a rival gang member in 2009.
Miguel Moscoso, 23, of Buffalo was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara. He originally was convicted of Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) after being a member of the 10th Street Gang for only a year.
"Today's sentence – like others issued in this case – demonstrates that those who engage in gang activity pay a heavy price upon conviction," U.S. Attorney William Hochul said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Tripi said Moscoso participated in gang violence, possessed firearms, sold marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine and other controlled substances on Buffalo's west side.
Moscoso isn't the only 10th Street Gang member who has been convicted. He and 44 of his former gang have been convicted as part of the case.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Another member of Buffalo's 10th Street Gang has been sentenced in Federal Court.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul announced 35-year-old Efrain Barreto will serve more than 8 years. Barreto was convicted of Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization Conspiracy.
Hochul said Barreto sold cocaine and other drugs on the West Side and supplied cocaine to younger members of the gang. He also provided firearms to fellow gang members who used them in shootings.
Barreto is one of 44 people convicted in the case.

Earlier today at the Brooklyn federal courthouse, Dontae Sebbern and Dexter Waiters were sentenced to life in prison for, among other crimes, the racketeering-related murder of gang leader Jermaine Dickersen, also known as "Big Den." The defendants, members of a set of the Bloods known by various names including the "Gorilla Bloods," were convicted after trial in December 2012 of racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, murder in-aid-of racketeering, narcotics trafficking, and other firearms charges.
The sentences were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and James J. Hunt, Acting Special Agent-in-Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), New York Division.
"The defendants turned the streets of Staten Island into a war zone to perpetuate their gang feud. These defendants were not commissioned soldiers, however, but common criminals who used gang allegiance as an excuse for murder and mayhem. This sentencing closes one chapter in this Office's ongoing investigations into gang and narcotics-related violence on Staten Island," stated United States Attorney Lynch. "This Office and our federal and city law enforcement partners will not tolerate such senseless and heinous criminal conduct in our communities." Ms. Lynch thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the New York City Police Department, and the Richmond County District Attorney's Office for their assistance in the investigation.
In late 2009, a gang war erupted between the Gorilla Bloods and a rival criminal organization known as the "Arlington Crew," comprised largely of Bloods gang members based in the Arlington neighborhood of Staten Island. Sebbern, Waiters, and their associate Earl Mangen sold drugs together and, prior to the war, were supplied by associates of the Arlington Crew. In the early morning of November 7, 2009, at a party on Arlington Avenue, a Gorilla Bloods leader started a fight with a member of the Arlington Crew. Dickersen, who at the time was one of the highest ranking Bloods on Staten Island, as well as Arlington Crew members Dion Nelson and Frankie Nelson joined in the fight. When a member of the Gorilla Bloods pulled out a knife, Dion Nelson drew a firearm and shot him in the lower back.1 About an hour after this shooting, Dickersen was shot and killed in a nearby parking lot. Moments later, Sebbern and Waiters were arrested jumping out of a car in possession of firearms, including the murder weapon, and wearing matching camouflage bullet-proof vests.2
Overall, as a result of a series of investigations begun in 2008 into drug and gang-related activity on the North Shore of Staten Island, more than 30 defendants have been convicted of racketeering, murder, narcotics trafficking, and firearms offenses.
The sentencing proceeding of Sebbern and Waiters was held before United States District Judge Sandra L. Townes.
The government's case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Shreve Ariail and Kevin Trowel.
The Defendants:
DEXTER WAITERS, also known as "Bugotti"
Age: 27
Staten Island, New York
DONTAE SEBBERN, also known as "K.D."
Age: 26
Staten Island, New York
E.D.N.Y. Docket No. 10-CR-087
1 In April 2013, Dion Nelson was sentenced to 25 years in prison following his guilty plea to discharging a firearm in connection with a narcotics trafficking offense.
2 One week later, Mangen was found dead outside his home, shot three times. Andre Collier, an associate of Dickerson's and Mangen's former drug supplier, subsequently pled guilty to premeditated homicide and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

I finally found a recipe for granola that is not too sweet and has the perfect amount of ingredients. It is so easy to prepare that after the first time, you'll never want to purchase granola from your grocery again.
Keep in mind you can add any ingredients you like and make substitutions. Let your taste buds create the granola best suited for you and your family. I use all organic ingredients which makes it even healthier.
4 c. old fashioned rolled oast
1 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. shredded coconut
1/4 c. pumpkin seeds (unsalted)
1/4 c. sunflower seeds (unsalted)
1/2 c. pure maple syrup (make sure it's pure)
2 T. canola oil
1/2 tsp. kosher salt or sea salt
1 c. dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots, cherries or currants)
Combine the first 5 ingredients on a rimmed baking sheet and toss to combine.
Combine the syrup, oil and salt and toss together with the dry ingredients, making sure you combine it thoroughly.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, tossing once until golden and crisp.
Add the dried fruit and toss to combine.
Let cool
Granola will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks, if it lasts that long.
Granola makes the perfect snack or sprinkle it over yogurt and fruit for a nice crunchy texture.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast ——————————-

1. Life is good --- reflections (): 22:34
Let's see.
My grandmother (father's mother) died at the ripe old age of 92, 93, or 94, depending on who you asked and when you asked. She was... quite a character, to say the least. Learned more about my fascinating family history, which apparently is more scandalous than I thought - and that's saying a fair bit.
Social activity's been up as well. The experiment is proceeding quite satisfactorily - I have actually managed to be sort-of out for some six Saturdays in a row now, which is a major breakthrough for a certified geek such as myself. ;) I got somewhat claustrophobic, however, as this Saturday involved a gazillion relatives packed into a small room...
On the plus side, several friends dropped by. =) That was really nice.
Updates for the New Year. Oh, right, last New Year I got dragged off to Daet and Legaspi for a vacation. It was actually pretty okay, once I'd gotten over the shock of having a completely unplanned vacation (we had to buy clothes one day at a time!). It took me a while to get over that shock, though. I was, like, "I want to be home!"
I did sort of learn how to... Well, not surf. More like hang on blindly to a board while desperately trying to keep my balance.
Love life still non-existent - Mom, am I even allowed to have a love
life before I get a PhD?
And I have a grand total of 22 pages - 10 on Plato, 12 on Aristotle - to write before Monday next week or I will get royally chewed out by one of our most temperamental teachers. Rumor has it that he doesn't read papers all that closely, but still. So I will be pretty much invisible for the next few whatevers.
More stories to tell, but not enough time - I promised to sleep early tonight (if 11 can be called early), and the dark shadows underneath my eyes have started to get really noticeable.
Life is good.
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Claude Shannon, who died on February 24, was the founder of Information Theory, which is the basis of modern telecommunications. Rachel Thomas looks at Shannon's life and works.
A question which has been vexing astronomers for a long time is whether the forces of attraction between stars and galaxies will eventually result in the universe collapsing back into a single point, or whether it will expand forever with the distances between stars and galaxies growing ever larger. Toby O'Neil describes how the mathematical theory of dimension gives us a way of approaching the question.
Knots crop up all over the place, from tying a shoelace to molecular structure, but they are also elegant mathematical objects. Colin Adams asks when is a molecule knot a molecule? and what happens if you try to build a knot out of sticks?
Suppose you have an infinitely large sheet of paper (mathematicians refer to this hypothetical object as the plane). You also have a number of different colours - pots of paint, perhaps. Your aim is to colour every point on the plane using the colours available. That is, each point must be assigned one colour.
Backgammon is said to be one of the oldest games in the world. In this article, Jochen Blath and Peter Mörters discuss one particularly interesting aspect of the game - the doubling cube. They show how a model using Brownian motion can help a player to decide when to double or accept a double.
C. J. Budd and C. J. Sangwin show us how to create mazes, and explain why mazes and networks have much in common. In fact the study of mazes and labyrinths takes us into the dark territory of murder, suicide, adultery, passion, intrigue, religion and conquest...

Used sales squashing online passes are annoying as hell, but should their utilization affect a game's review score? Commenter Smash Bro thinks they should, and he'll tell you why in today's Speak Up on Kotaku.
Can we get a call to reviewers to start taking off points for anti-consumer practices, like online passes?
I understand that reviews are a discussion of the game's qualities or lack thereof, but video games are a consumer product, and an expensive one at that. Most gamers (or non-gamers looking to buy gifts for gamers, etc.) look at reviews as a buyers' guide. "Is this game worth my $60?"
The online pass scheme reduces the value of everyone's game (including those of you who buy new) by $10, or about 15%. Yet publishers who use the online pass don't reduce the cost of their games by a similar amount.
The only other power that speaks to publishers besides $$$ (sales) is the almighty Metascore. If publishers knew going in that any online pass game was going to automatically be ducted 5-10 points they may rethink such practices that have nothing but negative consequences for their customers.
If it's not enough that Sony now has to sell six Online Passes to even break even on my one lost Uncharted 3 sale (cancelled my pre-order because I refuse to buy games with an Online Pass, even though I only buy new), losing a chunk of those Game of the Year awards might be enough incentive to knock this stupid crap off.

Woman with Monkey
Camille Alaphilippe took a keen interest in the possibilities of ceramics during his stay at the Villa Medici in 1901.
In 1914, he would in fact become the manager of Alexandre Bigot's fired stoneware factory in Mer (Loir-et-Cher), which mainly produced architectural ceramics.
Woman with Monkey consists of a daring assembly of gilt bronze elements (the head and hands) and pieces of enamelled stoneware mounted on a wood and iron structure and held together by a mortar of crushed brick, with joints in coloured plaster.
Hieratic and mysterious, the work owes as much to the symbolist image of the femme fatale holding an admirer in chains as to the neo-medieval inspiration that was special to its author.
The ensemble forms a kind of giant art object, and the charm of its silhouette and its shimmering colours make us forget the technical prowess and ingenuity of this artist who deserves to be better known.

Heraldo Muñoz is Assistant Administrator and UNDP's Director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
22 Jul 2013
Recent demonstrations sparked by young Latin Americans urge us to understand the demands of young people, and to address lingering structural problems in our societies, especially inequality. These protests are also an opportunity to rethink democratic governance in the 21st century, in the digital age of flourishing social media activism.
The increasing frequency of such mobilizations tells us that young people want to actively participate in their society's development. The first Ibero-American Youth Survey—which we launched with the Ibero-American Youth Organization and other partners on 22 July in Madrid— shows that young people in Latin America, Portugal and Spain expect their participation to increase over the next five years. Institutions should provide formal spaces for this, or protests will become the most effective way for young people to make their voices heard. And the region will waste an opportunity to enhance the quality of its democratic governance.
We introduced in this survey the first Youth Expectation Index, based on our decades-long experience in the production of Human Development Indices. This new Index—which reflects young people's perceptions and subjective values of social, economic and political rights— revealed the same messages that young people in the region are conveying in the streets: they expect more in terms of reduced corruption, violence, poverty and inequality.
The Youth Expectations Index also showed us that two thirds of young people in Latin America have a positive outlook and that they are more optimistic about the future than the present. Young people express more confidence in their own capacity than their surrounding environment, and the notion of "national crisis" does not seem to directly impact their expectations. For example, Spain's youth are not pessimistic about their future.
To achieve our vision of a true citizens' democracy we need to boost youth participation in politics, with all their diversity. For this reason we launched a new tool, the online platform JuventudConVoz, to expand political participation of young people aged 15-29 years, especially women, Afro-descendants and indigenous peoples.
Talk to us: What are your expectations for the next five years and how do you think young people can get more involved in politics?
Heraldo Muñoz is Assistant Administrator and UNDP's Director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
The survey gathers the perceptions of young people about various topics (education, security, institutions, drugs, and family), asking them to assess current and future scenarios.

A Canandaigua man is in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital, in Rochester, after crashing his four-wheeler into a tractor trailer on Route 21 in Canandaigua, at 1:51 p.m. Oct. 11, said Ontario County sheriff's deputies.
According to police, Aaron T. Smreker, 20, of 4275 Route 21, was driving a 2006 Polaris four-wheeler from his driveway onto the road. He failed to yield the right of way and struck the fourth axle on a tractor trailer driving south and being operated by Timothy M. Keys, 44, of Lehighton, Pa., police said. Deputies added that Smreker was ejected from the four-wheeler and landed on the pavement. He was flown to Strong via Mercy Flight, police said.
Keys was operating a 2006 Freightliner pulling a 53-foot box trailer, deputies said.
An investigation in ongoing and no tickets have been issued at this point.
