Colorado Shooting Suspect Holmes to Hear Formal Charges
James Holmes, the suspect in a mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater that killed 12 people, is scheduled to be formally charged today as prosecutors weigh a bid for the death penalty.
Holmes probably will face a dozen first-degree murder charges, according to a July 26 court filing. Twelve people died and at least 58 were injured when theater goers were attacked July 20 during a midnight showing of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises." Premeditated murder of multiple victims can be punishable by death in Colorado.
"Holmes is looking at well over 1,000 years in prison and I doubt he will live that long so this is all about the death penalty," said Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver who is now in private practice. "If the death penalty is not obtained against Holmes, that would represent the effective end of capital punishment in Colorado."
The shooting in Aurora, a suburb of Denver, was the deadliest in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre in April 1999 and the worst mass shooting in the U.S. since November 2009, when 13 people were killed at Fort Hood in Texas.
An insanity defense by Holmes seems probable, as well as a claim that he's incompetent to stand trial, Silverman said. Such a defense, coupled with hundreds of charges, could result in a "nightmare prosecution," Silverman said.
Carol Chambers, the district attorney for Arapahoe County, will formally charge Holmes at a hearing today in state court in Centennial, Colorado. She said after the shooting that a decision on whether her office would seek the death penalty is months away.
Not Slam-Dunk
"I don't think this is a slam-dunk case," Silverman said. "The elements of first-degree murder are clearly there and there is no question about cause of death or who did it."
"However, once the defense presents evidence of insanity, then the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Holmes was not insane," Silverman said. "That can be tough."
The office of Colorado State Public Defender Douglas K. Wilson is representing Holmes. Wilson didn't respond to a call seeking comment on a judge's July 26 order that cited prosecutors as saying Holmes may face 12 counts of murder. Holmes's lawyers won't assert a defense, including any possible insanity defense, until after the formal charges are filed.
Holmes allegedly bought a ticket for the Batman showing, entered the theater and watched the film for a while before propping open an exit door and leaving, according to police. He went to a white Hyundai parked outside, put on a helmet and ballistic vest, armed himself and returned to the theater, police said. Police apprehended him behind the building, located in a shopping mall, after the first 911 call at 12:39 a.m.
Three weapons were retrieved at the scene. A fourth, a .40 caliber Glock handgun, was found in Holmes's car.
Lethargic, Distracted
During an initial court appearance on July 23, Holmes appeared at times lethargic and at others distracted. His hair dyed orange and dressed in red prison clothing, Holmes didn't enter a plea or speak. At times he opened his eyes wide and blinked rapidly.
Holmes allegedly referred to himself as "the Joker," a Batman villain, as he was being arrested. Holmes, whose apartment was booby-trapped with explosives, acted bizarrely hours after his arrest and used evidence bags as hand puppets, Denver's ABC affiliate reported. Fox News reported that Holmes also allegedly sent a notebook with violent writing to a university psychiatrist.
Those actions don't necessarily point to insanity, Silverman said.
"He may well be faking it," Silverman said. "Those eye movements in the courtroom are the kind of acting any one of us could do. It was not overwhelming evidence that he's insane."
Personality Disorder
Michael Nuccitelli, a Kingston, New York-based forensic psychologist, said he disagrees. While it's possible Holmes could have faked his courtroom demeanor, it's more likely he may have a personality disorder that could lead to delusions, Nuccitelli said.
"His profile seems to be very similar to schizoid personality disorder," Nuccitelli said. "It's one of 10 personality disorders and those with it tend to be very distant, avoidant. They don't feel anxiety about being loners."
Holmes, who had been a graduate student in neuroscience at the University of Colorado, Denver, didn't have a criminal record, police said. He attended high school in San Diego, where his parents and other relatives still live. He began buying weapons in May at stores in the Aurora region, said Dan Oates, the city's police chief.
Ammunition, Psychiatrist
Authorities found a surveillance video of Holmes picking up 150 pounds of ammunition at a Federal Express outlet in Colorado, said a law enforcement official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity. Investigators interviewed a United Parcel Service Inc. driver who said Holmes had 90 packages delivered to his workplace on the University of Colorado medical campus, the official said.
Holmes had seen a psychiatrist, his lawyers said in a July 27 court filing that didn't elaborate on when or why he saw the doctor.
Holmes will probably undergo a series of medical evaluations by psychologists and psychiatrists to determine his mental state, Silverman said. He may claim incompetence, that he lacks the capacity to follow the legal proceedings or assist his counsel, Silverman said.
As part of the defense, Holmes's lawyers probably will search his personal history for something in his background of character that "mitigates" the alleged crimes, not to spare a conviction but to save his life, said Sam Kamin, a law professor at Denver University.
"If he is tried and convicted the defense might use his mental problems to mitigate his crimes," Kamin said.
The case is People v. Holmes, 12-cr-01522, 18th Judicial District Court, Colorado (Centennial).

Let my life be an example In my Successes and my Failures. Within me is the light of God, the wisdom of the ages if I can just have the courage to trust and believe.To look for that same God light in everyone I meet. Within me is the teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Theresa and of all those who went before me;speaking of Love, Peace and Compassion. It isn't the easy thing that is the right thing... It is not in my silent acceptance of what I know my heart that is wrong that will make a difference.

With its stock falling below $5 for the first time Tuesday, Zynga announced it will make pricey acquisition "Draw Something" its first mobile game released in mainland China and partner with a popular social network in the country as it tries to staunch the bleeding.
Zynga is partnering with Sina, which offers a Chinese microblogging service -- similar to Twitter -- that has grown very popular in the world's most populous nation. The partnership will allow the San Francisco online-gaming service to launch "Zynga's first mobile game localized in the Chinese language and culture," Zynga spokeswoman Cynthia Saw said in an email.
Of course, partnerships with popular social networks are nothing new for Zynga: The company built itself into a powerhouse through games on Facebook, where "Farmville" and other social games made the company a big name in Silicon Valley. Zynga has looked outside of its own shop for new hit games, however, finding big success with the acquisition of "Words With Friends," which it has extended to a series of other "With Friends" games.
Its biggest acquisition to date was "Draw Something" creator OMGPOP, for which it paid $180 million in March, when the app -- which gives players a topic to draw on their touchscreen mobile device -- hit 50 million downloads in record time. Downloads have slowed markedly since that time, however, so Zynga is making a big international push to continue to grow interest in interaction with the game.
China is not the only target in the expansion, as Zynga announced it will launch "Draw Something" in 12 new languages with pop culture references specific to the targeted countries. Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias are helping the company publicize the new initiative by choosing the topics for "Draw Something" games in advance of the celebrity singing couple's North American tour this month.
"With native pop culture references and our partnership with global superstars such as Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez, the game will be even more fun for more players," David Ko, Zynga's chief mobile officer, said in a news release.
Zynga could use a shot of adrenaline in the mobile market to help its ailing stock price, which fell below $5 a share for the first time Tuesday.
The company offered shares at $10 apiece in its initial public offering late in 2011, bringing in $1 billion and valuing the company at $7 billion. After trading below the IPO price for a month, Zynga stock surpassed it and reached as high as $15.91 in the first quarter of 2012, but spring has been unkind to the company. The price has especially suffered in the wake of Facebook's IPO, as Zynga's market capitalization has fallen 39.8 percent in less than a month since its partner debuted on Wall Street.
Mobile gaming may be Zynga's only hope to stoke further interest in the company's stock, though it continues to express interest in legalized gambling online. Cowen & Co. analysts wrote Tuesday morning that Zynga users have abandoned the company, with daily active users dropping 8.2 percent last month, and that it should not look to Facebook for continued growth.
"We believe that interest in Facebook-based gaming may have reached a negative inflection point as more casual gamers migrate to mobile platforms," a research report said.
Zynga stock plummeted Tuesday after the research report was released, and the announcement about "Draw Something" expansion did not seem to help. Shares dipped as low as $4.78 before closing at $4.98, a loss of 10.3 percent from Monday's closing price and more than 50 percent lower than the IPO price. A massive dip in the stock price around 7 a.m. Pacific time triggered a circuit breaker that Nasdaq said would halt short sales of the stock through Wednesday.

websec.io is dedicated to educating developers about security with topics relating to general security fundamentals, emerging technologies and PHP-specific information.
We also offer security consulting services for PHP and general application security needs.
If there's a topic you don't see here and would like to read about (or would like to write an article) let us know!
Looking for more information about securing PHP-based applications? Check out the Securing PHP ebooks:
By default, PHP is an over-sharer. It loves to just hand out information to anyone that comes knocking and will tell you just about anything about the errors that are thrown. As developers, having these verbose error messages is great - it helps pin down the exact spot that the problem is happening, right down to the line number. To a security professional, though, it's a nightmare. The common error messages in PHP share things like:
To a would-be attacker, this is a practical goldmine of information about the application. So, being the resourceful developers we are, there has to be something that we can do about it. Thankfully, PHP has some handy functionality built in that can help mitigate some of these issues - custom error and exception handling.
Thanks to the
set_error_handler and
set_exception_handler functions, we can customize
how we want our errors shown to the rest of the world and only expose the information
we want.
I'm going to start with an example of a class that will redefine both pieces of functionality at the same time, then come back and do a little explainng:
2 => 'Warning',
4 => 'Parse error',
8 => 'Notice',
16 => 'Core Error',
32 => 'Core Warning',
256 => 'User Error',
512 => 'User Warning',
1024 => 'User Notice',
2048 => 'Strict',
4096 => 'Recoverable Error',
8192 => 'Deprecated',
16384 => 'User Deprecated',
32767 => 'All'
public function __construct()
set_error_handler(array($this, 'errorHandler'));
set_exception_handler(array($this, 'exceptionHandler'));
public function exceptionHandler($exception)
$message = $exception->getMessage().' [code: '.$exception->getCode().']';
echo $message;
public function errorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
$errString = (array_key_exists($errno, $this->errorConstants))
? $this->errorConstants[$errno] : $errno;
echo ''.$errString.': '.$errstr.'
'; error_log($errString.' ['.$errno.']: '.$errstr.' in '.$errfile.' on line '.$errline); } } $e = new ErrorsAreAwesome(); ?>
In the above code example, we use the two PHP functions in our constructor of the
class to define our custom error and exception handling. If you're not using a class,
you can just pass in the name of the function that will do the handling. In our case, though.
we're handling things OOP-style, so we need to use the
array() method for referencing the methods
in our class.
exceptionHandler method takes in one parameter - the an object instance of the exception
that was thrown. If you're using custom exceptions, you could call a
get_class on this exception
to see which kind it was. We're taking the simple route and just extracting the message and
error code from the exception and reformatting it to display the minimal content we can.
errorHandler method is a little different - there's a bit more going on here. It takes in
a lot more values incldding the error code (number), error string that was thrown, the file
that the error occurred in and the line of the code where it all went down. Obviously, these
details aren't somethng you'd liked shared with the average Joe User out there, so I've put in
a bit of reformatting to be sure any error output is sanitized from useful information. Bascially,
when an error is thrown with this handling in place, the user will get a brief description that
"something went wrong" while the web server error log gets an earfull via the
error_log call.
This gives the web developer a way to still make their diagnosis without having to sacrifice
the tracability that comes with the full message.
One thing to keep under consideration, though - when a fatal error is thrown in PHP, the interpreter doesn't get to those "add custom error and exception handling" setup methods. Fatal errors die right when they're found and will still show the full information about the error - file path, line number and all.

No 'Easy Decision' for Obama on Public Financing
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama announced that he would become the first presidential candidate to forgo public financing of his general election campaign since the system was established three decades ago. Obama's Republican opponent, John McCain, has been much less successful at raising money and the move sets up the likelihood of a big mismatch in money heading into the fall campaign. Here is the text of Obama's announcement.
Hi, this is Barack Obama.
I have an important announcement and I wanted all of you – the people who built this movement from the bottom-up – to hear it first. We've made the decision not to participate in the public-financing system for the general election. This means we'll be forgoing more than $80 million in public funds during the final months of this election.
It's not an easy decision, and especially because I support a robust system of public financing of elections. But the public financing of presidential elections as it exists today is broken, and we face opponents who've become masters at gaming this broken system. John McCain's campaign and the Republican National Committee are fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs. And we've already seen that he's not going to stop the smears and attacks from his allies running so-called 527 groups, who will spend millions and millions of dollars in unlimited donations.
From the very beginning of this campaign, I have asked my supporters to avoid that kind of unregulated activity and join us in building a new kind of politics – and you have. Instead of forcing us to rely on millions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs, you've fueled this campaign with donations of $5, $10, $20, whatever you can afford. And because you did, we've built a grassroots movement of over 1.5 million Americans. We've won the Democratic nomination by relying on ordinary people coming together to achieve extraordinary things.
You've already changed the way campaigns are funded because you know that's the only way we can truly change how Washington works. And that's the path we will continue in this general election. I'm asking you to try to do something that's never been done before. Declare our independence from a broken system, and run the type of campaign that reflects the grassroots values that have already changed our politics and brought us this far.
If we don't stand together, the broken system we have now, a system where special interests drown out the voices of the American people will continue to erode our politics and prevent the possibility of real change. That's why we must act. The stakes are higher than ever, and people are counting on us.
Every American who is desperate for a fair economy and affordable healthcare, who wants to bring our troops back from Iraq. Who hopes for a better education and future for his or her child, these people are relying on us. You and me. This is our moment and our country is depending on us. So join me, and declare your independence from this broken system and let's build the first general election campaign that's truly funded by the American people. With this decision this campaign is in your hands in a way that no campaign has ever been before. Now is the time to act. Thank you so much.

GiveWell started with a simple question: where should I donate?
As a group of eight friends, employed in the finance industry and researching these questions in our spare time, we discovered that it isn't a part-time job. The issues charities address - from fighting disease in Africa to improving education in the U.S. - are extremely complex, and useful information about what different charities do and whether it works isn't publicly available anywhere. When we asked private foundations to share what they'd found and help us with our decisions, they refused. We believe that information about how to help people should never be secret.
We also believe that small donors matter. Gifts from big foundations make the headlines, but individual donors give nearly 60 times as much as the Gates Foundation and nearly 5 times as much as all foundations combined. If we can guide even a small portion of individual donors to the best giving opportunities we can find - the most effective, cost-effective organizations in need of additional funding, we can have more impact than any mega-donor. If we can create dialogue and openness about what charities do, we can get the world's best minds working on its biggest problems. And ultimately, we can change the rules of the game: we picture a market that rewards charities for their ability to help people, not just for their marketing.
In 2007, two of us, Holden Karnofsky and Elie Hassenfeld (bios), left our jobs, raised $300,000 in startup funds from former coworkers who believed in us and our mission, and started GiveWell as a full-time project.
The full history of our progress and business plans, detailing our efforts since then, is available on our progress page.

Miles Clement loves Little Lupe Little La Lune, a stripped down, strip mall version of Little Cambodia's La Lune, which burned in a fire last April. No mere rehash, the critic finds that this Long Beach little one "represents a new wave, a contemporary Cambodian cafe designed for a new generation" while ditching the banquet food of its progenitor. The satay is "superb," cha kroeng makes an interesting detour from classic Khmer lok lak, and the best part of waking up is congee "teeming with swollen grains of rice, slivers of fried garlic and a scattering of cilantro."

Speaking cryptically about pop-ups, Jonathan Gold writes, "I'd like to pop up in this space as the writer I was here in the 1980s, writing about performance art, baroque opera and movies starring guys named Corey, but then neither of us would figure out where to have dinner a week from Saturday." Even the march of time shouldn't stop our favorite critic from an occasional Eazy-E memory, but today's he's talking about a different pint-sized mega-talent, Nancy Silverton, and the whole hog dinners going down under Chad Colby at Mozza. "When the meat board shows up at Whole Hog, conversation fades into lustful stares," he writes, warning us to "be prepared to stab your neighbor with a fork if she snags the last piece of crunchy, fatty skin" on the 10-hour roasted pork shoulder.

J. Gold, no devotee of vestigial modernist falderal (or The Bazaar), is still quick to grab a seat at Michael Voltaggio's ink. Calling Voltaggio a "phenomenon" who is "as driven by technique as by ingredients, and overall by the imperative of originality," Gold sidesteps the question of whether any of this enhances or muddies said ingredients. We look forward to finding out what he thinks in the full review. [LAW]
Answering a question from a lady who wants to take her bookclub to a restaurant, Mr. Gold replies that he's a fan of pairing novels with noshing, though he fears, "For the rest of her life, my daughter will probably wonder just how Little Women relates to a Swiss chard gratin." Recommendations follow for Le Saint Amour and Meals by Genet. [LAW]

Greene King IPA Championship Round 9 preview
Friday night rugby returns to Brickfields as Plymouth Albion entertain Bedford, looking to improve on a record of just one win in their last 11 outings against the Blues.
Last season Bedford came away from Devon with the narrowest of victories, tries from hooker Neil Cochrane, wingers James Stephenson and Josh Bassett, and replacement Darryl Veenendaal proving to be enough to edge out Albion, 28-27.
The first of two Saturday games sees Rotherham centre Juan Pablo Socino, the Championship's leading points-scorer, come up against former club Nottingham. Since 1996, these sides have met each other on 20 occasions in the league, with the Titans winning 11 to Nottingham's eight and one draw. Nottingham won 32-12 on their last visit to Clifton Lane in January this year.
An hour later, in-form Moseley welcome league leaders London Welsh to Billesley Common: a ground where the Exiles have won on their last six visits. Last time the sides met the fixture finished 41-16 to the eventual league champions, although Moseley did gain revenge with a shock 10-7 win at Old Deer Park on New Year's Eve, 2011. Moseley made it three wins in a row with victory over Bedford in Round 8.
Arguably the pick of Sunday's action comes in the West Country with the clash between two former finalists, Cornish Pirates and Bristol. The home side has won in each of the last seven meetings between the sides, including a 32-19 win for the Pirates at the Mennaye Field in last season's corresponding fixture.
Ealing Trailfinders and London Scottish will do battle for the first time in five years. The London rivals have not played each other since Scottish went unbeaten to win the 2008/09 National 3 South title. They did the double over Ealing that year.
Leeds Carnegie and Jersey played each other on four occasions last season with two wins apiece. Jersey ended a four-game losing run on Saturday with a last-gasp, 27-25 victory over Cornish Pirates.

It shocks me that I had never heard of these things before, and to find out that these are illegal contraband.
If for some reason I'd seen these in a store in Canada, I might be tempted to purchase one for my kids, and it would never occur to me that I might be busted at the border! Yikes!

A major stroke can be life threatening or, at least, life changing. But it doesn't always have to be. Ask Brian Swope of Medford. The 55-year-old was stricken on March 20. Five days later, he was home and riding his bicycle.
The procedure that saved his life is called a mechanical thrombectomy, where doctors maneuver a catheter through an artery and then use a device to trap and remove the blood clot that caused the stroke. Swope's surgery was the first one done at Providence Medford Medical Center.
But not all strokes are alike, and certain criteria must be met before the procedure can even be considered. According to Dr. Eric Palmer, the interventional radiologist who operated on Swope, time is of the essence.
"A patient needs to get to the ER within six hours," he says. "The longer it takes to get to them, the more the brain is starved of oxygen, and the more the tissue is dead or dying."
The location and size of the clot also are factors. It has to be on the large side and located in a major blood vessel, giving the surgeon room to maneuver.
Swope's stroke paralyzed the left side of his body, but a friend got him to the ER within 20 minutes. With all of the criteria met, Palmer operated. Afterwards, Swope was able to grip with his left hand. The next day, he was trying to get out of bed. Four days later he was walking.
Palmer cautions that not all mechanical thrombectomies produce such dramatic results, but they can help lessen the severity of the physical aftermath of a stroke. Everyone should know the signs of a stroke, he stresses, and waste no time in getting the patient to the ER.
Swope knows how lucky he is. "The nurses said that if they weren't able to do it, I might have been paralyzed. Or unable to talk. Or possibly dead," he says. "Getting to the hospital that quickly and being able to qualify for the surgery made it possible for them to save me."

Share your experiences with the Missionary Ridge Road Race below Back to event details page.
My biggest disappointment with this race was the fact that, like almost every race I've run with the CTC, there weren't enough XS and S t-shirts. Even though I registered early etc, they only had L and XL left. At what point will race directors catch on to the fact that most runners aren't exactly L and XL type people??! I've never understood this. So once again, I have a race shirt that I will never wear. I would think after all the races organized and sponsored over the years, the folks that order the shirts would catch on to the fact that there is NEVER enough small sized shirts. Even though I paid my registration fee like everyone else, I missed out on a shirt I could actually wear.
Other than the shirt debacle, the race was well attended and the route was mapped out. I was really glad they had timing chips. And the early start kept the heat from being too bad.
But seriously, FIX THE SHIRT ISSUE!!!!

Traders Playing It Safe Ahead of Election
It's quiet on Wall Street.
One day ahead of the presidential election, traders say they're playing it safe ahead of what's expected to be one of the closest elections in U.S. history.
"We're very neutral heading into the election," Seth Setrakian, co-head of trading at First New York Securities, a brokerage firm, told MarketBeat. "I don't want to risk anything, especially since it's been such a good year."
That's evidenced in the Tape. The Dow erased much of its morning losses, recently down just two points to 13091 Bank of America and UnitedHealth are leading the blue chips lower, while Hewlett-Packard and Intel are pulling on the upside. The S&P 500 was up less than 1 point at 1415, as the utility and telecom sectors pulled on the downside.
The minor moves come one day after the Dow registered triple-digit point swings on Thursday and Friday.

"There's no real conviction one way or the other in the markets," says Stephen Carl, head equity trader at Williams Capital Group. "I think you'll see a knee jerk reaction to whoever wins the election and then investors will get back to stressing economic numbers."
Polls showed the race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney remained close. The Wall Street Journal/NBC News polls had Obama leading his Republican rival 48% to 47%, well within the margin of error of plus or minus 2.55 percentage points.
Setrakian also stressed that markets could experience a "violent reaction" on Wednesday no matter the outcome of the presidential election. An Obama victory could initially be a negative development for stocks, Setrakian says, while a Romney victory would be perceived to be positive for the market.
But Setrakian expects both reactions to be short-lived, especially since the focus will immediately turn to the looming fiscal cliff, future Fed policy and the status of Chairman Ben Bernanke regarding whether he'll stay another term.
"My view is stay light and keep the powder dry," he says. "I don't feel like I have to get involved in that first trade Wednesday morning once we know the results. There's no urgency to act."

There was a post oh about 3 or years ago about freezing corn on the cob. All you had to do was place the corn in a paper bag(?) and freeze it. When you wanted to use some you just took that quanity out and microwaved it. I don't remember if it was more than a paper bag and how long ot microwave it for or if you could use another cooking method. Would someone else remember that post? Thanks for you help in advance. Lafner
I just wrap corn on the cob, with the husk and all, in heavy duty foil, put in a freezer bag and toss in the freezer. Then, I put it in the oven or on the grill for about an hour or so ~ turn once in awhile. 350 in the oven, high on the grill.
lafner, I'd suggest trying a couple of cobs teh way cookn describes to see if you like the results.
I blanched mine, cold water, chilled as fast as possible, dried, and tightly wrapped, into the freezer. Taking them out and cooking as usual, from frozen, we couldn't tell it from fresh.
I didn't do it the other way because all the processing books said that the kernels would become tough. And there was something about unconverted raw starch, but I don't remember. Simply thought out, would you freeze peas fresh from the garden, in their pods, and if not, why not? Corn kernels are not really any different from peas.
No tough kernels at Thanksgiving when I serve it ~ I don't know if freezing it longer than a couple of months makes a difference, but I usually only have it frozen for about that long.
Lafner was looking for a way to do it without blanching it, so that's why I shared the method I use every year....
You can shuck it and then wrap in foil, or just toss it in the freezer in a big old bag with no foil and just the husks that it has. The quality of the corn when you cook it later depends on how good the corn was to start. :) I don't like microwaved corn on the cob at all so I *always* do mine in a pot of water but yes, I've froze both of these ways as well as taking it off the cob and doing the blanching, cream, sugar, etc.
I shuck mine, remove the silk and wash in running cold water to remove any micro-bug that might be hiding. I let it air dry and then put it in freezer bags and the freezer. It's very good so I don't see any need to blanch it. It is not tough or dry. I usually boil mine but sometimes microwave it.
Thank you very much for your help. I just remember that it had a wonderful fresh picked flavor.Lafner
I found this. I hope it is whatyou wanted.

Ask people who work in the advertising industry what their favourite TV show is, and many would say "Mad Men".
For those of you who haven't watched Mad Men yet, the drama series is about an American advertising agency (Sterling Cooper) set in the 60s. The show revolves around the Creative Director Don Draper and how the company would deal with clients and briefs (and their personal lives) during that era. The show deservingly won the Golden Globe Award for best Television Series (Drama) – 2008, 2009 and 2010.
What I love about the show is the way Don Draper would tackle briefs and how these Ad people in the show would be chain smoking and drinking right in office as they discussed about work. Such things are not possible today for the obvious reasons (Oh here's a trivia – In the TV show Mad Men, all the people smoke all the time, but since they (actors) are not allowed to smoke cigarettes in the film studio according to California Law, they are actually smoking herbal cigarettes on the sets!)

Division leaders meet
UNDATED (AP) -- A couple match-ups of division leaders highlight a reduced major league baseball schedule, one in each league.
Washington opens a series in San Francisco in the National League. The Nationals boast the best record in the majors at 71-44 as they make a bid for the post-season. Gio Gonzalez has been a big reason. The left-hander takes a 14-6 mark and 3.32 ERA to the hill tonight. The West-division leading Giants go with Ryan Vogelsong who's 10-5 with a 2.27 ERA. He's gone at least six innings in 21 consecutive starts.
The showdown of division leaders in the American League happens in New York where the Yankees host Texas in the opener of their series. The Rangers are riding a 10-3 wave that's helped them open a 6 1-2 game lead in the West. Recently acquired Ryan Dempster takes the mound for Texas, coming off a win in which he took a shutout into the seventh and gave up three unearned runs in 6 2-3 innings. David Phelps slips into the Yankees pitching rotation in place of CC Sabathia (suh-BA'-thee-uh), who's nursing a left elbow injury while on the disabled list.
The top winning streak in the major right now belongs to Tampa Bay. The Rays try to make it seven in a row when they start a series in Seattle tonight. That runs has vaulted Tampa Bay to within five games of the first-place Yankees in the East and to the top of the wildcard standings.
Cole Hamels has been one of the few bright spots in a disappointing season for the Phillies. He's back on the mound tonight against Miami in a meeting of the bottom two teams in the National League East. Hamels is 12-6 and is coming off a five-hit shutout of Atlanta.
Five games are set in the American League and six in the National.
London returns to routine
LONDON (AP) -- Britain succumbed to reality Monday with commuters venturing back to work a day after the Olympic flame was extinguished.
Heathrow Airport is experiencing one of its busiest days ever, with some 116,000 people expected to leave London's busiest hub in a post-Olympic exodus. Heathrow usually handles about 95,000 passengers a day.
Throughout the capital there were signs that the party was over. In central London's government district, workers using fork-lift trucks, cherry pickers and small cranes began dismantling the temporary Olympic beach volleyball arena on Horseguards Parade.
The Olympic Park was eerily deserted Monday, after being visited by more than 5 million people over the previous 17 days.
But not for long. Small groups of construction workers scurried about in small vehicles, working to transform the venues for use in the Paralympics, which will run Aug. 29 to Sept. 9.
Olympics was tourism bust in Britain
LONDON (AP) -- The Olympics brought less tourist money to recession-hit Britain than businesses had hoped for, a trade group says. A majority of tourist companies reported losses from last year.
The group's survey said that of its members, 88 percent reported some losses during the games compared to the same period last year. The businesses reported that visitor numbers were down by 10 to 30 percent compared to last year.
Cowboys visit Raiders
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The NFL's first full round of exhibition games comes to a close tonight when the Cowboys visit Oakland.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen says Terrelle (teh'-REHL') Pryor will get plenty of snaps behind starter Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Pryor was limited to just one play last year after being taken in the supplemental draft, then sitting out a suspension for his involvement in the Ohio State memorabilia-for-cash scandal.
The Cowboys have suffered through significant injuries to the interior line, especially at center. Kevin Kowalski and Bill Nagy are out with ankle injuries and starter Phil Costa could miss the game with a lower back problem.
First round draft pick Morris Claiborne is expected to miss the game. The cornerback was out last week with a sprained knee.
Westwood makes changes
LONDON (AP) -- Lee Westwood's manager says the English golfer has split from coach Pete Cowen and temporary caddie Mike Waite after his missing the cut at PGA Championship.
Cowen works with several top golfers, including Darren Clarke, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST'-hy-zehn), but the 39-year-old Westwood believes a fresh approach could improve his chances of finally winning a major.
Westwood's manager Chubby Chandler says Westwood thinks he lost his focus and enthusiasm and needs to shake things up.
Regular caddie Billy Foster injured his knee in May and won't return until next year.

I definitely loved the way these looked! I bought them for my friend's wedding and they are pretty cool. I would totally suggest buying these IN STORE (do not pay the money for 2 day shipping as they will likely fail you, do not even pay to have them shipped as they were not packaged well, or taken care of during shipping) but not online.

Craig Zobel's "Compliance" attempts to expressly address the objectification and subjugation of women. The film is so persuasive in this address—or maybe ignominious regarding its presumed message—that it has provoked some derisive, intense debate.
In what looks to be another slow burn type of horror flick from writer and director Ti West, "The Innkeepers" has been creating quite the buzz around the festival circuit. In the above snapshot, Pat Healy and Sara Paxton play Luke and Claire, the two final employees who have been scheduled to work during a supposedly haunted hotel's final week of business. The hotel in the movie is actually based on and filmed at a hotel that West and his crew stayed at during the "House of The Devil" filming, where they experienced strange happenings.

Jeremy Hunt eviscerated in 5 Live Interview
Further to this, which Iain Dale is keen for you to hear, there's this, which he isn't…..
On Friday night Stephen Nolan interviewed Shadow Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt on his 5 Live phone in programme. I listened to it when I was in the kitchen tidying up. At times I was laughing so much I had tears running down my face. OK, that's a slight exaggeration, but it really was that bad.
Nolan completely eviscerated Hunt to the extent that by the end of it she was a jibbering wreck. It really is worth listening to the whole thing (it lasts half an hour). The calls which followed the interview were a joy to listen to.
I didn't catch the whole thing but he's absolutely woeful when challenged on his vacuous statement that the Tories can't give tax guarantees, which as Nolan states contradicts flatly their NI stance.
The most painful bit to listen to, though, if you're a Tory, is when Nolan asks him (25mins 30 secs) why the Tories are discriminating against men over the pension age, with plans to raise it by one year in 2016 for men, but not for women. Hunt can only whine (26 mins 40 secs):
I have to be honest with you Stephen, I don't know the details enough of the policy. I'm absolutely sure we're not discriminating against men, but I don't know the details of that particular policy.
While such details may not seem important to Hunt, the fact that this is the first they've heard of this proposal clearly does matter to people joining the phone-in who suddenly find their retirement put back a year.
I think it may well also matter to those areas of the UK, like Scotland and the North West where male life expectancy is 11 years lower than in more prosperous area, and people are now now a little bit nearer, statistically speaking, being worked to death.
If you want to listen, and I really hope you do, click here and scroll in a few minutes to around 8 mins 40 secs.
p.s. I think Nolan's a shite interviewer. Shouting and constantly interrupting is not clever. It's shouting and constantly interrupting.
April 26, 2010 at 10:30 am
I was tweeted towards this interview and…..(Jaw falls open)
I was amazed at just how clueless and vague Mr Jeremy Hunt was/is. I cannot begin to imagine how he would cope in office. Please listen again on I-player. It's so bad it's funny.

Yi Mun-yol's short story "An Anonymous Island," as translated by Heinz Insu Fenkl, is in this week's New Yorker, the first Korean prose fiction piece to appear in the magazine.
Finally!, says I.
As reported in the Donga Ilbo (Korean only), this is not the first appearance of Korean literature in the magazine — Ko Un's "Four Poems" was (were?) in the September 25, 2006 issue, translated by Brother Anthony, Young-moo Kim, and Gary Gach (sorry, the link can only be accessed by New Yorker subscribers). I would also somewhat snarkily point out that the the line in the Donga article that "The New Yorker only introduces about one new foreign author a year" is pretty misleading, as there are many, many foreign authors represented in the magazine in any given year. Haruki Murakami and Orhan Pamuk alone tip that scale with their contributions. This is an achievement, of course, but let's not go overboard. Or I don't know, let's.
Nevertheless, huzzah! A Korean short story has finally made it in. "An Anonymous Island" (<<익명의 섬>>) was originally published in the journal World Literature (Segye ui Munhak) in 1982. Ah, here's English language coverage from the Korea Herald with plot summary, etc., which I'm terrible at. I never got A's on book reports either. Strange that, considering what I do. But enough about me… let's read the story and bask in the dark days of the 80s!

Streetsboro -- The host Streetsboro boys basketball team remained unbeaten in Portage Trail Conference County Division action after earning a 68-58 victory over Southeast Jan. 24.
With the win, the Rockets improved to 10-5 overall and 8-0 in the County Division. The Pirates fell to 6-8 overall and 3-5 in the division.
Streetsboro controlled the glass throughout the evening and took control with 12-0 run. Prior to the run, the Rockets had a slim 51-48 lead with a little more than four minutes left.
Jerry Judd had seven consecutive points during the spurt.
Daniel Sapp led the Rockets with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Reggie Dublin added 12 points and Judd finished with 11 points.
Dublin played with a heavy heart after the passing of his grandfather, Shelly Williams, Jan. 23.
"I was glad to see Reggie have a nice game because of his grandfather," Streetsboro head coach Nick Marcini said. "His grandfather never missed a game and was always right at center court in his wheelchair.
"That's very emotional for a teenager and I thought he really hit some important shots for us tonight in the second half."
"I was glad to see Jerry snap out of his little slump also. I thought the guys did a great job on the boards. We wanted to be a plus 10 and we accomplished that."
Twenty personal fouls were whistled in the first half. Sapp led the Rockets' scoring in the first half with 13 points and five rebounds and a pair of steals while leading the Streetsboro full court press.
The Rockets led 31-29 at halftime.
Host Streetsboro also lost a 62-58 decision in overtime to PTC rival Ravenna Jan. 21.
Despite missing 17 of 40 foul shots on the evening, the Ravens made free throws when they mattered most.
Ravenna converted 10 of 14 foul shots in the overtime period. Danny Miller made all six of his free throws in the overtime period and finished with a team-high 19 points.
The Rockets, on the other hand, couldn't buy a basket. They made just 2 of 14 field goals in overtime.
"We played hard and we were there with a chance to win the game," Marcini said. "But when you shoot 2 for 14 from the field in the overtime period, you're not going to win many games."
While they went cold with it mattered most, Streetsboro caught fire near the end of regulation to force the overtime period.
Trailing Ravenna 47-38 with 5:30 remaining in regulation, the Rockets closed out the period on a 12-3 run. Sapp scored seven in the period, while it was teammate Dublin who sunk a corner 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining to give his team a brief 50-49 lead.
Ravenna forward Michael Boltz was fouled on the resulting inbound attempt, and the Ravens big man hit the second of his two foul shots to tie the game at 50. The teams would trade possessions down the stretch, with Streetsboro missing a 3-pointer try as regulation expired.
Sapp finished with a game-high 31 points to go along with 16 rebounds.
"[Sapp] is a really impressive player," Ravenna head coach Phil Starks said. "He's a kid who just always keeps his composure, regardless of what's going on. He had the same look on his face the entire night and didn't get rattled."
The Rockets are scheduled to visit County Division foe Woodridge Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m.

The story of our current family room remodel begins with a giant fireplace.
It was a brick monstrosity.
It measured eight feet high.
Six feet wide.
Two feet deep.
It was so large the firebox held our 36″ TV…
It was the brick fireplace that ate our family room.
And it was ugly. And not at all in keeping with our 1940 cottage.
Rather, it was a monster that was built as part of an early 1970's addition.
I don't know what they were thinking in the 70's.
I do know what they were smoking and well, let's just say unfortunate design was the result of that smoking.
So, one day in March 2002, while my husband was safely on the other side of the planet, I got the idea that it would be the perfect time to get rid of that horrible fireplace.
Totally naive and thus overly confident, I was absolutely convinced that one week would be plenty of time to get most of the messy demo done and in its place would be my vision – clear and magnificent.
"Of course," my husband would say to me, fresh from his Tokyo trip, inspiration from my efforts naturally replacing his jet lag. "Your efforts my dear," he would continue, "have paved the way for me to see just how wonderful your idea is to replace that unsightly wall of brick with a small, gas insert fireplace. Yes. Where once I doubted, now I am absolutely convinced."
Or so I thought.
What I thought would be a few days of demo, I quickly learned would be much, much more. So just before Neal boarded his airplane home, I had to fess up. I told him what I had done and what would be awaiting him upon his arrival.
"A 14 hour flight is enough time for him to get used to the idea," was my thinking.
And of course, he was a good sport about it because, well, my husband is a good guy.
The demo continued for months and as we made our way through the five and six layers of brick I realized I was in way over my head.
And in way below my feet. For we discovered not only did the brick stick four feet into the room, it also went down four feet all the way to the ground.
Yes. I had ahuge hole in my house that went straight to the outside.
In this photo we have already back-filled with demoed brick the hole that led to the outside.
I needed help. I didn't know what to do.
So I called contractors.
Seven contractors. Over months and months. And not a single one called me back.
And time passed. And I was stuck.
Until my friend stepped in. The friend I first consulted about how to get the project started, many months before. The friend who called me the day after I started to offer his help and I said, confidently, "Thanks, but, I've got it under control." Well, I needed him and he knew it and he politely, once again, as good friends do, offered his help. This time I immediately and most humbly accepted his offer.
After the most tedious demo work I have ever done, we finally got the brick flush to wall as he directed and he then took time off from work and taught us how to install new subfloor over the hole in the floor.
And he taught us how to frame over the huge hole of a firebox.
And together we hung drywall over that framing, forever encasing the remaining brick. Oh how happy I was to longer see brick. And once we got the wall up we were able to install a gas fireplace…
Ignorance is bliss. At times.
Good friends who help you out of messes (literally) are definitely, and always, bliss.
We were tired though. And burned out. So after the fireplace was installed, I laid slate, built a "temporary" fireplace surround out of MDF and some stock trim from Home Depot. I put our bookcases on either side of the surround to create a built-in look. "This will do for a while," I thought.
That a while lasted 10 years.
Until this summer when that little brick hammer yielding girl three photos back went off to college and in a throes of feathering my almost empty nest I resumed work on the family room and that fireplace. And we are getting french doors, in fact they are being installed as I write this, by a contractor who did call me back.
"Enjoy the process" that friend who helped me a decade ago once told me. I think of those words often. Many years and many lessons later, with a heart steeped in gratitude, I am most definitely enjoying the process.

Aeros rally in the third to beat Barons 4-2
Eberle and Hall score power play goals for OKC in a losing cause
Tuesday, 01.1.2013 / 6:00 PM MT / Cenovus Game Story
By Marc Ciampa - edmontonoilers.com
The Barons league-leading power play continued to impress with goals by Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall but it was the Houston Aeros who came out on top with a pair of third-period goals en route to a 4-2 win over Oklahoma City on Tuesday night.
Yann Danis got the start in goal for the Barons and Matt Hackett for Houston.
The Barons got off to a quick start, outshooting Houston 8-1 through the game's opening three minutes but could not make a dent on the scoreboard.
Jason Zucker nearly opened the scoring with a wraparound attempt about seven minutes in. Zucker's attempt slipped under Danis but hit the post behind the OKC netminder and somehow stayed out of the net.
Zucker then took a hooking penalty at 8:02 to receive the game's first power play.
14 seconds into the penalty, the Barons scored to take a 1-0 lead. Eberle threaded a pass right across the slot onto the stick of Hall and he made no mistake, firing it into the open cage on the one-timer.
After 20 minutes, shots on goal were 13 to 11 in favour of Oklahoma City.
Less than a minute into the second period, Teemu Hartikainen took a hooking penalty to give Houston its first power play of the game.
With the man advantage, Houston connected to tie the game. Zucker picked up the puck on the right side boards and walked out in front before firing a wrist shot top corner behind Danis to make it 1-1.
Several minutes later, the Aeros struck to take their first lead of the game. Nick Petersen threaded a pass through the slot from the side of the net right onto the stick of Charlie Coyle. Coyle made no mistake, firing the puck along the ice just inside the left post.
The Barons got that goal back, however. Couture took a boarding penalty and less than a minute later, Eberle struck for his 24th goal of the season to pull OKC back on even terms.
Shots on goal after two periods were 24 to 19 for Oklahoma City.
Jason Zucker scored early in the third period to give Houston a 3-2 lead. From the high slot, Zucker fired the puck top corner through a screen past Danis for the goal.
Houston continued to press for the insurance marker as the period neared the midway point. During a mad scramble in front of the net, Martin Marincin held up an Aeros skater to give the home side a power play.
In the final minute, Johan Larsson added an empty-net goal to give the Aeros a 4-2 lead and clinch the victory.

Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai gets a new twist
A source informs, "The actual kidnapper of the baby is none other than Malti"s husband Vineet, who actually plans the incident to make Malti realize the pain of parting with her child. So due to this Vineet takes the child and keeps it with Sadhana (Sara Khan) but as Malti breaks down in the despair, Sadhana brings her child to her saying that she cant bare Malti"s gloom any more and thus the entire secret is revealed."
"Realizing this, Malti pleads for forgiveness from her mother-in-law, Kaushalya (Vibha Chibber)." adds source. We called Ashita Dhawan but she remained unavailable. Apparently, Vineet has applied the tried and tested tit-for-tat formula as an eye opener for his wife.

VALLEY SPRINGS – A Burson man was arrested Sunday night outside Starbucks on suspicion of using the Internet to solicit sex from what he believed to be a 10-year-old girl, the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office reported.
Deputies arrested Dylan Ray Mills, 19, on suspicion of two felonies, contacting or communicating with a minor for the purpose of engaging in certain lewd or lascivious behavior, and arranging and meeting with a minor for the purpose of engaging in certain lewd and lascivious behavior.
During an interview with deputies after his arrest, Mills admitted that he conversed on Facebook with a victim he believed to be a 10-year-old girl, according to a report. He allegedly asked her to meet up with him for sexual intercourse at 10 p.m. Sunday, using Starbucks as a rendezvous point.
In reality, Calaveras sheriff's deputies were posing as the girl. Mills sent communications through Facebook that were described as sexually explicit, according to an official report.
At 10 p.m., with the Starbucks at 200 E. Highway 12 under surveillance, Mills sent a Facebook message that he had arrived. Deputies moved in, located him sitting in his vehicle in front of Starbucks, and took him into custody without incident.

the muscles in my upper arm stay sore is there anything i can use to help.READ MORE
There are several things that can be done to help relieve the pain of sore muscles.
1. Applying heat packs or heat wraps. Heat packs should not be used for more than 20 minutes at a time, but may be used several times a day. If you use a therapeutic heat wrap, be sure to follow the directions on the package.
2. There are a number of different types of external analgesic creams and gels that may be helpful. They usually contain capsaicin, methyl nicontinate, camphor, menthol, or methyl salicylate. Your pharmacist should be able to recommend which would be best for your particular problem.
3. Internal analgesics like ibuprofen, acetaminophen or naproxen sodium can help with pain relief. It's pretty much a personal preference. For me, ibuprofen seems to work better for muscle pain – but everyone is different, so you'll just have to try them and see which is most effective for you.
If you think your muscle pain is from over-using or injuring the muscle, the best thing you can do is rest it and try not to use it any more than absolutely necessary until it can heal. If the pain continues for a long period of time or is too severe to be helped by these suggestions, you need to see a doctor and find out what is causing it.

Wished these had a liner! I haven't tried what another poster did but I'm thinking that either lining it myself or inserting another shade might make it less see through. It casts a pink glow which is nice & warm but I'm not thrilled that when the light is on, you can see the bulb a little.
You can indeed see the hardware and bulb through this shade. I had read the prior reviews so I knew what to expect and purchased the shade due to the coral color. It looks great with the coral throw pillow sold on this site by the way! A "medium" size white lamp shade fits INSIDE this shade perfectly and makes a great "liner", I am no longer able to see the hardware or bulb!
Unfortunately, I guess I didn't read that it only fit a certain type lamp as thought it was a spider fitting. So it doesn't fit my lamp and am reluctant to buy another lamp (being a lamp junkie, I have more than enough of them). So I can't tell if you can see the bulb through it as others have said since I am unable to use it. Debating now what to do with it. I so wanted a coral colored shade too.
As others mentioned on other colors you can clearly see the bulb and hardware through the shade. Should have had a fabric or opaque liner. Too bad because otherwise it is beautiful!

This week's Tunes for Tuesday is a guest post from downtown Ottawa mom Christina Leadlay…
The Johnny Cash Children's Album (released 1975. available on iTunes)
This is perhaps one of the last actual CDs I've purchased, now that I get all my music digitally. I happened upon it while spending time with my then-toddler in the children's section of a now-defunct ByWard Market bookshop a few years ago, and I was absolutely tickled by the notion of a kids' album by Johnny Cash of all people– a musician known for his Man in Black persona who crooned tales of murder, prison, and a boy named Sue. It was a children's album I initially bought more for myself than my kids!
For Johnny Cash fans, this record is more in the style of his "One Piece at a Time" song, setting catchy, folksy tunes to vivid stories involving wild bears and hunters, migrating geese, and what it would be like if dinosaurs were still alive. My personal favourites are the nostalgic story of "Grandfather's Clock," and the husband-and-wife banter in "I Got a Boy and His Name is John," a duet with June Carter Cash. For children, it's got a quirky alphabet song, a guy named "Nasty Dan," and lots of brilliant banjo and guitar.
This album is a fun snapshot of life in the 1970's rural American South, one that urban Canadian children (and their parents) can still enjoy.

Concerned the city's going to raze historic Braniff HQ at Love Field, preservationists launch online rescue efforts
Just five days ago the city's aviation director told us that Dallas Love Field was "the worst house on the block," a poorly tended-to property in need of amenities along its outskirts — among them, restaurants and retail and office towers along Lemmon Avenue — that could serve as a "buffer." And during our talk, Mark Duebner noted that in order to usher in the new, the city would have to raze some of the old properties on airport property.
When we spoke last week Duebner didn't get into specifics, save to say the old Legend terminal was on the hit list — as it has been for years. But this morning word comes that the old Braniff Airlines building at 7701 Lemmon, which opened in October 1958, Braniff's 30th anniversary, after a two-year build, is also among those being considered for bulldozing.
And that isn't sitting well with some local architects and preservationists who regard the building, empty since 1993, as one of Dallas's most significant mid-century modern marvels. Because if you didn't know, and I didn't till this morning, it was designed by William Pereira and Charles Luckman — who were responsible for, among other landmark locations, CBS Television City in Los Angeles; Los Angeles International Airport; the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco; the Forum in L.A.; and Madison Square Garden.
At the moment there's an online petition calling for its preservation. It's calling for the building's restoration and insists that "eliminating this last piece of Braniff history is an affront to the hard working people that made aviation a fundamental industry at Dallas Love Field and the region." Sources say the petition was launched by local architects appalled at the proposed razing. And come Monday the newly launched Save Braniff's online petition goes live; right now it's a history-of that says "the City of Dallas Department of Aviation has taken steps to try and tear down this historic piece of Dallas history."
I haven't been able to reach Duebner or Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm this morning; messages have been left. But as the tax rolls show, the building didn't officially become city property until 2003, long after DalFort Aerospace — once, a Braniff subsidiary — had moved out and stopped paying rent.
But both the Legend and Braniff buildings have been at the center of litigation filed in 2008 by Love Terminal Partners, which once controlled the Legend terminal and would later allege, following the passage of the Wright Amendment Reform Act, that the city had made a secret deal to demo the Legend terminal "to ensure the success of the scheme to divide the North Texas markets and to insulate Southwest from increased competition," according to legal docs.
In 2008, Love Terminal Partners sued the U.S. government in federal court over passage of the WARA, which reduced "the number of gates available for passenger air service at Love Field to no more than 20″ while lifting the restrictions on short-haul flights out of the city-owned airport come 2014. (Hence, the Love Field Modernization Program currently taking place at the airport, where the new ticketing lobby is scheduled to open in three weeks.) Said the suit, the back-room deal involving local and federal officials made their lease agreement worthless and demanded "just compensation for the Government's appropriation" of LTP's property, "including their Love Field lease rights and LTP's terminal building." Around that same time, the city council was often briefed behind closed doors about "the exercise of eminent domain" at both the Legend and Braniff buildings.
The lawsuit has been working it was through the federal courts for four years, with Margaret M. Sweeney, a federal judge for the United States Court of Federal Claims, kicking it back to trial court in 2011. Ruled Sweeney, "Although the WARA designated Dallas as the party responsible for acquiring and demolishing the Lemmon Avenue Terminal gates as part of a broader commitment to modernize Love Field and to facilitate the end of the Wright Amendment, the federal government sanctioned such actions." Coincidentally, a trial involving the disputed properties just wrapped three days ago, with further docs due to the court in coming months.
Preservationists familiar with the situation said this morning that a handful of architects approached the city about landmarking the building in order to protect it from being razed. And they were told that effort would go nowhere: It's a city-owned building, and if the city wants the Braniff building gone, there's no way it will step in front of its own wrecking ball.
Suffice it to say, more to come.
