The LC-A Krab - Your LC-A and LC-Wide's Bathing Suit2013-06-20 1 8 Share Tweet
Summer's here! Which means seaside madness and fun water fights! If you're a proud owner of a LC-A or LC-Wide, you'll surely want to bring it along to capture your most splashy moments! So put on its bathing suit and let it safely capture the view with the LC-A Krab!
The LC-A Krab is one of the must have accessories for your LC-A or LC-Wide. Whether you want to take your camera at the water park, on your seaside vacation, on the slopes, or just to take some pictures in the rain, the LC-A Krab is the way to go. It will protect your prized LC-A or LC-Wide so you won't have to worry about a thing.
The LC-A Krab is a reproduction of a Russian prototype underwater housing for the Lomo Kompact Automat camera of the 1980s. Back then, it was crafted in solid metal, but now it has an acrylic faceplate, improved seals and a deeper effective depth. With the LC-A Krab, you get easy access to the shutter and advance controls, and you can take your camera up to 20m (65 feet) beneath the water's surface.
The LC-A Krab comes along with a hand strap so you won't lose your camera if you're shooting in giant waves for example, a small bottle with lubricant gel used to better seal your Krab, a spare rubber O-Ring, and a plastic O-Ring remover.
So, how do you use your Krab?
Set your LC-A or LC-Wide's focus (choose your focus distance wisely, as you won't be able to change this setting while your camera is inside the case), put it inside the Krab, put some gel on the rubber O-Ring located on the door of the Krab, close the Krab and you're ready to go.
After you've finished shooting, take your camera out, and thoroughly clean your Krab with water!
- Use your camera with 200 or 400 ISO film when shooting underwater
- Use Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100 ISO film for great colors and sharpness
- Don't clean your Krab with chemicals; use only tap water
- Before use, be sure that the front of the Krab is clean so that your photos stay extra sharp. If not wipe it with a soft cloth.
- Keep your Krab in the box it came with when you're not using it! When you're at the beach keep it wrapped in a clean and soft towel.
All in all, the LC-A Krab is one of the best companions of your LC-A or LC-Wide, a must have if you love water, sea or snow!

Celebrities Who Should Be Featured On Unsung's Spin-Off, "Unsung Hollywood"
Good news! After so much success catching up with the underrated and often off-the-radar music stars in music with Unsung, TV One is about to bring us Unsung Hollywood. Same format, but giving us a back story on all the ups and downs of the careers and lives of black folks we love from TV and film. They already have episodes with Pam Grier, Kadeem Hardison and Robin Harris (to name a few) on deck, but we couldn't help but throw a few options of stars they need to also profile out there. Check 'em out!
Dorothy Dandridge
Talk about a beauty. Dorothy Dandridge was the first African-American woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, but the road to getting the nomination, and how life went for her after the fact wasn't easy. Dandridge had the type of story that (if any of her colleagues are still alive to tell it) had everything from financial struggles (accountants swindled her out of thousands and she owed back taxes), nervous breakdowns, affairs, career explosions and moments that stalled, and the reinvention of her career later in life. She only lived 42 years, but her life and career has been one that has influenced everyone from Halle Berry, Cicely Tyson and more.

One of the greatest mistakes people make today is to say "I can't afford it!" When you express yourself in a negative way like this, you block the natural abundance that is freely available to you.
This programme from the MindFrame Technique will show you how to release the abundance that is naturally within you and allow you to materialise any dream you dare to visualise.
The Moneymaker programme is going to show you how to use the Laws of Manifestation that we all have at our disposal. These are the same laws that are reflected in the abundant natural world around us. To bring these laws into effect in your life is this simple – all you have to do is imagine what you want and it is yours.
How can it be so easy?
It is this easy because you already have everything you want, you have just forgotten who you are and therefore have lost sight of the unlimited power you have. You have forgotten the fact that you have a magic wand that can be used to manifest whatever you dream. This programme will show you how to turn this mental block around and release the unlimited potential from within.

City of Indio Golf Cart Transportation Program
In 2011, the City of Indio adopted a new Golf Cart Transportation Program which allows drivers of properly equipped golf carts to travel along designated pathways, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes in the City. The program requires the golf cart and the driver to meet certain minimum standards, and the golf cart must have a current permit.

NEWARK — Opening arguments are expected this morning in the murder trial of Lee Anthony Evans, where security measures have been stepped up because the defendant is acting as his own attorney.
Most noticeable is a recent decision by the judge to restrict courtroom movement of Evans, his legal adviser and the two prosecuting attorneys.
Neither side may approach the witness stand or the jury, Superior Court Judge Patricia Costello in Newark said at a recent court hearing. Documents are to be handed to an Essex County Sheriff's officer who will give them to the witness or jury, she said. Both the defense and prosecution are confined to their tables and to the podium in between.
Evans has pleaded not guilty to five counts of murder in the Aug. 20, 1978 killing of five teenage boys in Newark. The disappearance had officially been considered a missing persons case until Evans and his cousin were arrested in March 2010. Evans posted bail five months later.
A third sheriff's officer has also been assigned to the trial, and a detective from the prosecutor's office has attended pretrial court hearings.
Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura said the heightened security is "the prudent thing to do," he said. Evans is expected to handle everything from opening argument, witness questioning, sidebar conferences and through to closing statement, as would any trial lawyer.
Defendants are usually confined to their seats and usually do not speak in court.
Additional security is expected when the state's star witness, Philander Hampton, testifies against Evans. It was Hampton's confession to police in which he admitted to his role in the killing, but called Evans the mastermind, that led to their arrest in March 2010. Hampton, who is Evans' cousin, pleaded guilty in exchange for a reduced prison term.
Another security measure will come during sidebar conferences between the judge and the attorneys. At least one sheriff's officer will join the group, which will include Evans.

FENTON --The antique show that's had collectors on a quest for 31 years is back with a longer name and more helping hands.
The Dibbleville Questers club has joined with a club to the south to form the Fenton Dibbleville and Hartland Stagecoach Inn Questers Annual Antique Show.
The newly combined group will host this year's show 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday in the Fenton High School gym, 3200 W. Shiawassee Ave. (north entrance). Admission is $5; strollers welcome.
"It's a cooperative effort and otherwise the antique show may have had to end," said Bethany Hammond of Tyrone Township. "With many of their (Dibbleville) members retired and going south to a sunny climate for the winter, they need additional personnel to help carry it out."
Hammond is a member of the Hartland club and co-chair of this weekend's event with Barbara Krueger of Hartland. It's Hammond's first year to organize the show that draws thousands of shoppers, 1,263 last year, but she has been attending it for 25 years.
She knows the quality and variety the 30 vendors will offer.
Vendor applications say they will bring a variety of antique clothing, jewelry, toys, advertising signs, sports memorabilia, dolls, evening purses, furniture, fishing lures and more. Transfer ware and Depression glass buttons, silver and linens will also be featured.
Lunch including the famous apple dumplings will offered by women volunteers from the First Presbyterian Church of Fenton.
"Some people come in just for the dumplings," Hammond said.
"Crowd pleasers," Carolyn Post of Fenton Township said. Post has made dumplings in years past but has taken on other duties.
"This year I'm making Hearty Hodge Podge soup and chicken salad," Post said.
Hammond said the Questers exist to raise money for the preservation and restoration of historical projects. In the past the Dibbleville club has helped the museum in Fenton, the Durand train museum and restored Civil War flags at the state's historical museum in Lansing. Both clubs agreed on what the next project will be.
"The money will go primarily to restore an 1865, 36-star American flag at the Hartland Florence Dearing Historical Museum," Hammond said.
The flag was donated to the museum in 1958, one of several artifacts given by the late May Dexter whose family homestead was in Tyrone Township, she said. The thirty-sixth star commemorated the acceptance of Nevada into the union. Andrew Johnson was president and it was only months after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
For more information about the show, call (810) 629-5181.

The likelihood of a student graduating from one of the nation's 50 largest cities amounts to a coin toss, says a new study released by America's Promise Alliance.
The study, Cities in Crisis: A Special Analytic Report on High School Graduation, reported a 52 percent graduation rate for the 50 largest urban districts. This is far below the 70 percent nationwide average.
The City of Chicago School District ranked 31st out of 50, with a graduation rate of 51.5, according to the study.
Out of the 50 urban areas, cities ranking highest in graduation rates are Mesa, San Jose, Nashville, Colorado Springs, San Francisco, Tucson, Seattle, Virginia Beach, Sacramento and Honolulu. Cities with the lowest graduation rates include Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Baltimore, Columbus, Minneapolis, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles and Oakland.
Authors of the study found large disparities in graduation numbers between cities' urban districts and suburban districts.
The graduation gap between Chicago urban and suburban districts ranks eighth at about a 28 percent difference. Cities with larger gaps include Baltimore, Columbus, Cleveland, New York, Denver, Philadelphia and Indianapolis.
America's Promise Alliance, founded by former Secretary of State Colin Powell and largely funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was created to see that children receive the fundamental resources they need to succeed -- including education.

CHICOPEE — A new eligibility requirement that forced high school students to pass more classes and earn a higher grade point average to play sports has stopped almost no youth from joining teams.
After a task force researched proposed changes in athletic regulations and extensive debate, the School Committee voted to up its regulations for playing sports, requiring students to pass five instead of four courses and to maintain a minimum grade point average of 65. The regulations went into effect in September.
Showing a year's worth of data, Athletic Director James P. Blain, reviewed the policy and other changes in the sports program that happened during the last school year with the School Committee this week.
"My thoughts and findings of this policy is it is working," Blain said.
Part of the policy is students are allowed one waiver in their four years of high school which will allow them to play if they only pass four courses. Out of about 600 students who played on teams at Chicopee High and Comprehensive high, a total of 47 waivers were granted over three seasons of sports, Blain said.
The majority of waivers were given to freshmen while fewer than 10 percent went to senior players. Blain said it is not surprising since ninth-graders typically have the most trouble with classes as they are transitioning to high school.
"A side benefit is it tracks students at risk," he said.
All coaches were given access to an electronic system teachers, parents and students can use to track grades. If a coach saw a player was not doing well, they talked to and worked with the student and, if all else failed, forced them to sit out of practices and games until they brought up their grades.
All students were told there would be no consequences to arriving to a practice late if they had stayed after school for extra help as long as they brought a note from their teacher, he said.
Blain said he will continue to track data from the policy to see if any changes should be made in the future.
School Committee members said they were happy to hear that students were working to meet the requirements.
"I appreciate your emphasis on academics over athletics," School Committee member David G. Barsalou said.
Sharon M. Nawrocki, a committee member, said she was impressed that football coaches have a weekly homework night and asked if coaches in other sports do the same.
"Athletics is important but you don't get where you are going without academics," she said.
Blain said each coach has been told to find the best way to help his own team since each group is different and rules that work for one do not work as well for another.

BRIDGETON — Tonight, the curtain will rise on the opening night "A Christmas Carol," an original adaptation by Jim Cook Jr. at the Robert L. Sharp Auditorium of Bridgeton High School.
The performances also run Nov. 13, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. and November 14 and 21 at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for students and senior citizens.
A special family performance will be offered Thursday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. with tickets for $7.
Based on the classic novel, "A Christmas Carol" brings audiences on a journey through London, 1843 where a miserly Mr. Scrooge (John Muller, Pittsgrove) is taken through flashbacks of his life with the assistance of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley (John Weiner, Vineland), and the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Cheryl Miller, Millville) Present (Lauren Van Embden, Millville) and Yet-to-Come (Alex May, Pittsgrove).
Much of the play is based solely on the original text of the book. We follow the poor lives of Bob Cratchit (T. Harry Putnam, Vineland) and Tiny Tim (Owen Miller, Millville) and the ever-jolly Mr. Fezziwig (Erik Cagle, Pittsgrove).
In this version, the playwright explores deeper into the concept of Christmas day and what it means to families in trouble by writing more into the relationship of Scrooge's newphew Fred (Andrew Jarema, Pittsgrove) and Fred's wife Abigail (Lisa Heney, Millville).
Audiences will also be treated to a completely new interpretation of the Ghost of Christmas Present, Van Embden's character.
The production also features Jason D. Smith of Millville, Stephanie Andrus of Woodstown, Andrew Fralinger of Pittsgrove, Lauren Wood of Bridgeton, Shannon Sheridan of Woodstown, Heather Cook of Woodstown, Carol Heney of Millville, Lea Weiner of Millville, Patty Fralinger of Pittsgrove, Mikela Simon of Shiloh, and Derek Davis of Hopewell. This production is directed by Walter A. Webster of Bridgeton.

Buried in the Washington Post story on Marc Grossman taking over as the new U.S. envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan are some interesting references to the possible departure of U.S. commander General David Petraeus.
Pakistan: Now or Never?
Tactics versus strategy in Afghanistan
Reading the latest spate of news reports about U.S. policies in Afghanistan, one thing strikes me as troubling — the failure to distinguish between tactics and strategy. Military boffins argue about the exact meaning of those two words, but for the purposes of argument, let's say that tactics are a means to an end, while strategy contains within it an understanding of the end to be attained.

- Sen. John Kerry reveals two black eyes at Bruins event
Could this only be the beginning?
According to a tweet from CSNNE.com's Joe Haggerty, Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said that "his guess" is Tim Thomas will not start in goal Tuesday night as the Bruins face the Washington Capitals.
However the Bruins official Twitter page tweeted that Thomas was the first goalie off the ice during morning skate, which generally indicates he'll start.
Thomas has received major criticism after choosing to decline his invitation to the White House where the team was honored for winning the 2011 Stanley Cup.
Chiarelli told reporters he could have suspended and fined Thomas, but elected not to do so.
Thomas, a native of Flint, Michigan, later released a statement on his official Facebook page why he skipped out stating he believes the Federal government "has grown out of control threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People."
President Barack Obama directly mentioned Thomas in his speech.
"This Stanley Cup was won by defense as much as by offense," Obama said. "Tim Thomas posted two shutouts in the Stanley Cup Finals and set an all-time record for saves in the postseason, and he also earned the honor being only the second American ever to be recognized as the Stanley Cup playoffs MVP."
Monday evening Bruins team president Cam Neely released a statement regarding Thomas.
"...We are disappointed that Tim chose not to join us, and his views certainly do not reflect those of the Jacobs family or the Bruins organization. This will be the last public comment from the Bruins organization on this subject."
Is benching Thomas the right call?
How long will this linger around for and will it effect the team's play?
Let's hope it doesn't.

no an update will NEVER allow ppl to play dvds becuase the new wiis have a d3-2 drive that won't read dvds. hacks can make older wiis read dvds.
1. Enter your keywords that you want to search for. Be not too general and not too specific. For example, if you want to know how to get back to the wii menu when playing a gamecube game. (a question that will get you killed out there) don't enter "gamecube" as that will turn up too many answers. Also, don't enter "back to wii menu playing gamecube game" as that won't get you any. Instead, Search for "gamecube wii menu" or simply "gamecube reset". (yes, you might have to think up words like that on your own)

You didn't actually beat the game probably
Okay, I just beat the game, and I was all like "COOL AWESOME EVERYONE'S GONNA BE HAPPY 'N'STUFF", and so I walked around Kakariko Village...Then Ordon Village...Nothing seemed different, so I talked to Midna, and she said "We must save Princess Zelda!"
And I was like "WTF!?/!?#! FOFOIE4NSNTSTOFMGOFMGFOMG".
Does she just say that because she has nothing else to say? Or did it not save or something?

Theres no way to save your file after beating the boss.
Its the same in every Zelda game, when u replay that file it will leave u outside of Zeldas castle, with the last mission to complete still.
So, if I wanted to, I could play Ganondorf again? Like, I could never actually beat him?Originally Posted by mk_south_london
The game does not save after you beat the final boss because the game wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Today's TV Talk includes the news of which finalist won "American Idol" Season 13 (spoiler alert coming right up), and just what was going on with Ellen DeGeneres and Oregon State University students in Corvallis on Wednesday.
The Season 13 "American Idol" winner is.....: OK, here comes the spoiler. Wednesday night's "American Idol" Season 13 finale saw rocker Caleb Johnson and pop singer Jena Irene as the last two finalists standing. And when it came time to announce the winner, who viewers had voted for, it was Caleb Johnson.
Want the details? The Hollywood Reporter has a recap of the season finale (Ryan Seacrest sang!);
The Associated Press has more about the reactions of Johnson, a 23-year-old from Asheville, North Carolina, and the 17-year-old Irene, from Farmington Hills, Michigan,
Entertainment Weekly also has a recap of the finale. An excerpt:
It's still unclear as to what side of history season 13 will be remembered for but tonight a new winner was added to that list. Caleb and Jena proved they deserved to make it to the finale weeks ago with consistently strong performances each week compared to an overall very young and lackluster group of finalists.
Ellen DeGeneres' virtual visit to Oregon State University: The host of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" got hundreds of students in Corvallis to gather on the campus quad Wednesday afternoon, after a series of cryptic Tweets. What was it all about? DeGeneres was in her studio in California, and interacted with students live, via satellite. The Corvallis Gazette-Times has more details:
"(DeGeneres) didn't show in person Wednesday, but she interacted with the crowd remotely from her studio in Burbank, California — handing out cash prizes to five OSU students during the taping of a segment for her show, which will be broadcast May 28.
Fans crowded around the gated off-limits filming area, holding signs while dressed in suspenders, ugly ties, fanny packs, and faux beards and potbellies. Just hours before, DeGeneres had instructed fans — again through her Twitter account — to show up dressed like their fathers in honor of Father's Day next month."
KGW (8) which airs "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" at 3 p.m. weekday afternoons, reported that DeGeneres sent students on a scavenger hunt, searching for five envelopes, containing cash prizes ranging from $500 to $10,000, which were hidden around the quad.

This is my favorite salsa! My dad used to buy it by the case down in Mexico.....that was a long time ago. Now I am lucky that my local Safeway stocks it in the 7oz cans. I love it. The salsa verde is also tasty.

Herdez Mexican Salsa Casera
December 11, 2011
..this has always been my favorite salsa when I couldn't make my own. The 7 oz can is the best size; the 'jarred' salsa is entirely different.! The salsa does vary however, the last case I bought is almost too 'chunky/thick. Still, I highly recommend the 7 oz can when you can't make your own.

The 7 oz can is the only way to buy this. This same salsa in the glass jar is like all the others. Since my local market has discontinued the 7oz. can I have been ordering on line. My last order was w/ MexGrocer.com since they offered free shipping. Amazon no longer ships this item w/ free shipping. This salsa is the next best thing to my home made which is difficult to make when fresh tomatoes are 'out-of-season.

December 19, 2009
This is the best authentic salsa from Mexico for a long time. I like the can with easy-open lid, because you use it all at once, with out keeping left overs on the fridge. Try one can of salsa casera with diced avocado, mix it and you get a delicious guacamole dip.

To the Editor:
On behalf of Sister Jacinta Fernandes of The St. Joseph's Social Service Center in Elizabeth, the children that received the toys, and The Msgr. John M. Walsh Council 5437, Garwood Knights of Columbus, I'd like to thank everyone for their generous monetary and toy donations to our annual Toy Drive. Our special thanks to The St. Anne's Church of Garwood Rosary Society members and their President, Christine Guerriero, Catherine Mooney and the employees of Eastman Management Corp. of Livingston and Veronika Yarleque and the employees of Bank of America in Newark for their very generous amount of toys donated.
The line of families waiting to receive the distribution of toys was a few blocks long, with families waiting in line overnight in inclement weather, with family members taking turns in order to hold their spot in line.
Seeing and hearing this, please know how special your efforts and generosity were in making a child smile on Christmas morning.
In closing, thank you again, and our best wishes for a very healthy and Happy New Year.
For information on St. Joseph's visit their website, stjosephelizabeth.org and visit YouTube "Homeless in Elizabeth" parts 1 and 2 for an in-depth look at their programs in helping the less fortunate.

What would you pay for a good hot fudge sundae? $3? $5? What if that hot fudge sundae was smack in the middle of a big party? Would you pay more? $10? $15?
What if you got the sundae and the party both for free?
That dream will become a reality this Sunday at the Sundae PDX party. The event will feature "a barbecue, ice-cold brews, smiling faces, fly breakdancers, timeless party jams, [and] some world class DJ's," alongside the real selling point – a free sundae bar.
According to the event's Facebook page, Sundae PDX is an attempt to co-opt similar daytime parties found in larger cities, like L.A. Organizers say they've "removed all of the pretentiousness, added some pure Portland flavor, and created a fun, casual, fresh vibe for you party people to boogie to."
Sundae PDX has been running free sundae bar parties all summer, capping off the year with a final blowout this weekend.
They go above and beyond to mention their support for local businesses and artists, offering shout-outs to folks like Platinum Records and DJs Zinker and YoFunky.
The party will go down Sunday afternoon at East Bank Saloon, where organizers advise people to show up early to avoid long lines at the sundae bar. The trick will be roping people into staying once they've finished their ice cream, a feat Sundae PDX is hoping to achieve with their fresh-and-funky party vibe.
It's anyone's guess what that vibe will feel like in person, but come on, it's a free sundae bar for crying out loud.
* * *
When: Sunday, Aug. 24, from 3 to 9 p.m.
Where: East Bank Saloon (map it)
Tickets: Free, 18 and older only

A closer look at inactives for Patriots-Buccaneers
|09.22.13 at 11:43 am ET
FOXBORO — No big surprises when it comes to the Patriots list of in actives that were recently released: offensive lineman Will Svitek, running back Leon Washington, tight end Rob Gronkowski, special teamer Matt Slater, wide receiver Danny Amendola, linebacker Steve Beauharnais and defensive lineman Chris Jones.
No surprise when it comes to Slater, Amendola and Gronkowski — Slater was ruled out earlier in the week, while Amendola and Gronkowski were considered long shots to make the cut regardless. Svitek has struggled with a knee injury over the course of the summer and now, into the regular season. Meanwhile, Beauharnais is a healthy scratch and Jones is a new face who is still clearly getting up to speed in the program.
Two names who are not on the list who could have a sizable impact on things against the Bucs: tight end Zach Sudfeld and running back Brandon Bolden. Sudfeld, who has been slowed by a hamstring issue, should see some serious time against Tampa. Meanwhile, Bolden has had knee issues over the course of the summer and into the start of the season, but should see some reps both in special teams and on offense in his first game action of the year.

At Weymouth speedweek last year, we had a couple of light wind days. On oned day in particular it was marginal planing wind, even with the 9.5m on an 85cm wide slalom board - probably gusting 12 knotts. Even though the formula boards were planing the whole time and slalom boards spend most of their time waiting for the very few gusts that came through, when the results were analysed, all of the top speeds were 80 to 85cm wide slalom boards. So my conclusion is that a slalom board is faster, once planing, than a formula board. However, not sure how an Is147 would have done.... anyone want to lend me one for this years speed week?

Political strife in Egypt leaves 17 dead
The Egyptian army deployed tanks around Cairo's Tahrir Square after violent clashes between supporters and foes of deposed President Mohammed Morsi left 17 people dead nationwide.
Fighting broke out in Cairo when Morsi partisans tried to reach Tahrir, where thousands of people were gathered to celebrate the military's decision on Wednesday to oust the Islamist president, state news agency Mena said.
Morsi's Islamist supporters have held protests since Wednesday's coup, when the armed forces suspended the constitution and named Adli Mansour, the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, as interim head of state pending fresh elections.
The military acted following days of massive anti-government protests. Critics accused Morsi and the Brotherhood of doing little to address poverty and Egypt's struggling economy, of failing to advance the goals of the 2011 revolution that forced out strongman Hosni Mubarak and of seeking to monopolize power.
Pope Francis approves sainthood for John Paul II
Pope Francis has given final approval to the canonization of two of his predecessors, John Paul II and John XXIII, the Vatican said.
The pontiff recognized the validity of a second miracle attributed to John Paul, a prerequisite for sainthood.
In the case of John XXIII, however, Francis invoked his authority to waive the requirement of a second miracle and allow the canonization to proceed without it. No date has been set for the canonization ceremony, but Vatican spokesman said it will probably come toward the end of the year.
7 Youths gunned down in southern Mexico
Seven males ranging in age from 12 to 24 were fatally shot in the southern Mexican town of Coyuca de Benitez, the Guerrero state Attorney General's Office said.
Municipal police received a call around 6:00 p.m. Thursday about the presence of dead bodies along an area river, the AG's office said in a statement.
At the site, police found six people dead and two others wounded. All eight had been shot in the head. One of the injured - a boy of 12 - died later en route to the hospital, while the other remains in serious condition.
Murray advances to 2nd straight Wimbledon final; Djokovic awaits
Scotland's Andy Murray rallied from a set down to defeat Poland's Jerzy Janowicz 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the Wimbledon men's semifinals, advancing to his second straight final at the All England Club and moving one step closer to becoming the first British men's singles champion at this prestigious event in 77 years.
His victory earned him a spot in the final against Serbian world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who won an epic five-setter against Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro earlier Friday 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (6-8), 6-3.
The Serbian won the 2011 Wimbledon title with a four-set victory over Spain's Rafael Nadal in the final, while Murray lost last year's final - also in four sets - to Switzerland's Roger Federer.
Sunday's showdown will be the fourth Grand Slam championship match between the two 26-year-olds.
Bolivian: Would Europeans have held Obama's plane?
The European countries involved in this week's diversion and subsequent search of Bolivian President Evo Morales's plane would not have acted likewise toward another head of state, a member of Bolivia's government suggested here.
"Would they have done the same with the plane of (U.S. President Barack) Obama, or that of some other power such as England?," Bolivia's anti-corruption minister, Nardi Suxo, asked rhetorically during remarks at Madrid's Casa de America.
The Bolivian presidential aircraft spent 13 hours on the ground in Vienna as Austrian authorities searched the plane for former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has released documents exposing Washington's massive surveillance of global telephonic and Internet communications.
Morales did not arrive back in Bolivia until nearly midnight Wednesday, more than 24 hours after he left Moscow, where he attended a conference of gas-exporting nations. The diversion to Vienna came after Portugal, France and Italy barred the plane from their airspace, apparently on suspicion that Snowden was onboard.
Drug case against Mexican army brass collapses
Four high-ranking Mexican military officers were released from custody after the case against them for alleged collusion with a drug cartel fell apart.
Gens. Ricardo Escorcia, Ruben Perez Ramirez and Roberto Dawe and Lt. Col. Silvio Isidro Hernandez walked out of Altiplano prison before dawn.
Another officer charged in the cartel case, retired Gen. Tomas Angeles Dauahare, was freed on April 17 due to lack of evidence. The four men released Friday spent more than a year in custody on accusations they aided the now-defunct Beltran Leyva drug cartel.
The case was initiated during the 2006-2012 administration of President Felipe Calderon, who gave the armed forces the leading role in the struggle with the cartels.

Bo Burnham (who's doing a series of headlining shows this week) and Chelsea Peretti (who was just named one of 10 Comics to Watch by Variety) just hanging out chatting outside the Hyatt — comedian central for the next few days — at the Just For Laughs festival. I think it's fun to get glimpse of our favorite comics off stage in mundane situations. So here that is. Enjoy!

Q: Is this a Fund Raiser?
No! This is a program designed to help reduce your. This is not a fund raiser and you will not be asked to sell anything.
Q: How much will it cost me to participate in this program?
Nothing! You don't have to buy anything extra, you don't pay a penny more, and you can make your purchases whenever YOU choose. The reason for its effectiveness is simple: families receive the rebate by making purchases that they would make anyway, for groceries, clothing, gas, etc.
Q: Why is this also referred to as SCRIP?
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When we purchase scrip, we are purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash.
Q: What merchants are participating in this program?
A list of merchants both locally owned and national companies are available for your review. You will see the company name, the certificate amount and the percentage that will be the "rebate" that you will receive.
Q: Will there be more local companies' participating in the program?
We hope so! If you own a company or know someone that does and would like to participate, please ask for a business packet. The business packet will contain necessary forms and information. It is a win/win situation for the retailers and your family. The retailers receive their money up front and your family receives a rebate on the tuition cost.
Q: How does the money go toward my families' tuition?
When you purchase your scrip (or gift certificates), the percentage goes directly into your families account. For, you purchase $100.00 worth of grocery scrip (you pay the face value of the scrip), your account is credited with between $3.00 and $5.00 depending on the percentage offered. An administrative fee of 10% will be retained (shipping, supplies, etc) on all orders from the total rebate earned on your account.
Q: What if someone does not have a student attending Penn State, can they buy certificates and have the rebates go toward my families' account?
Yes, they may purchase certificates and designate the money to anyone's account. This is a great opportunity for grandparents and other family members to help with your families' cost of college. The easiest way for your family to receive the rebate is to include their certificate order on your order form. Then no additional paperwork will be required.
Q: Who do we call and where do we buy the scrip's that we want?
Order forms are available in the Rebate Office and on the school's web page. All completed order forms are due by Thursday at 10:30 am to the Rebate Office. No late orders are accepted, but can be held for the next order week. Orders are processed every Thursday and will be available the following Wednesday during the semester. If you are unable to pick up your order at the designated time, please call the Scrip office at 814-375-4805 or email Lisa at firstname.lastname@example.com . When you receive your order envelope, a new order form will be included so that the process can begin again. If you need an extra order form, please download it from the school web site or pick one up in the Rebate Office. The Rebate Office is located on campus in room 115 of the Hiller Building.
Q: What happens when Thursday is a holiday or if school is not scheduled?
The program will not run that week. Unless we can have a full week of school, we will be unable to run the program. We will then offer walk-in hours where you can walk into the Rebate Office and purchase certificates that we have on hand.
Q: Does this program run all year or end in the summer?
The rebate program runs throughout the summer, watch the "Alerts" section of the online ordering program or your emails for program updates.
Q: Will the rebates earned in this program affect my financial aid?
All rebates earned with this program will be transferred to the Bursars office as a payment on your account and will not affect your financial aid.
Q: Can I use this rebate toward "Dual Enrollment" classes?
Yes! Rebates can be used for your Dual Enrollment classes.
Q: Does this program really work?
Yes! We have sold over 1.3 million dollars worth of certificates and families have accrued over $70,000 towards their tuition.
Q: Is it really FREE MONEY?
You are spending money at the grocery store and need to put gas in your car. Every time you buy certificates from us your account earns money. If you order $100 worth of certificates, you receive $100 worth of certificates, but your account has earned money, FREE MONEY.
Q: Can I buy certificates without placing an order?
Yes! We have walk-in hours available so that you can stop in and purchase certificates that we have on hand. We usually have the grocery stores and gas certificates available. You do not need to fill out an order form, we have those in the Rebate Office. This method of receiving certificates is called "Advance Orders", you receive rebates for these orders just like when placing a regular Thursday morning order. So if you forget to order, or just run out of certificates because you miscalculated what you needed, you can stop into the office and purchase the certificates that we have on hand. Please check the Rebate calendars for a schedule of walk-in dates.
Q: What is the DuBois Educational Foundation?
The Foundation is organized for the purpose of supporting, promoting and fostering education and of furthering the advancement of learning in arts, sciences and occupations at the DuBois Campus of the University. The DuBois Educational Foundation is responsible for distributing monies accrued in this program to support Penn State DuBois and Penn State students.
Q: How do I receive information about the program?
We have several methods for you to stay up-to-date: the weekly newsletter; the online ordering system (www.shopwithscrip.com), the school web-page (http://www.ds.psu.edu/rebate); or you may email Lisa at email@example.com
Q: Who do I call with questions?
Lisa LaBue is the Penn State DuBois Rebate Coordinator, you can call the office directly at:
(814) 375-4805
Email her: firstname.lastname@example.com

A family dinner was held in their honor.

The annual Pearl River High School Veterans Day program held Nov. 12 was a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday. It honored people in the United States military, veterans and active duty alike, and many veterans, parents, staff and faculty members, students, and other guests attended, including Ella Breakfield from Pearl River Mayor James Lavigne's office, Sherry Linchfield, and Winfield Ledet, the Social Studies Club sponsor.
Matalyn Stark planned the event with the assistance of Vice Principal Peggy Redmond and Ledet, and the cafeteria looked great in red, white, and blue.
The school band, led by Stephen Abadie, played the national anthem and two patriotic numbers, one of which was a medley of hymns that represented each branch of the Armed Forces.
A history of Veterans Day was presented, and the choir performed as well.
The guest speaker was Captain Troy Cooper, a graduate of Pearl River High School and now a Squadron Executive Officer in the Air Force. His address was heartfelt, emotional, and genuine. He said, "[Veterans] serve because it is an honor."
Afterwards, Principal Mike Winkler recognized Veteran of the Year Jay Kilgore. Ledet accepted the award on Kilgore's behalf.
In honor of the veterans, Facta Non Verba and PSAT (Pearl River Supports Our Troops) held a red, white, and blue balloon release on Nov. 13. Tickets sold for $2 per balloon. There was a large turn-out of students, faculty, and staff for the event. There was a moment of silence for the men and women who lost their lives fighting for freedom, and then the balloons were released. The red, white, and blue orbs flying away in the wind made for an amazing sight.
The SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) club raised over $70 from the yellow and red ribbon sales, and the money will go to the Trevor Foundation.
The Pearl River wrestling team is selling long-sleeved T-shirts for $15. For more information, see Coach Jimmie Hobson, Coach Jeremey Spohrer, or the wrestling team's Facebook page.
The Thanksgiving holiday break is Nov. 19-23.
The Mu Alpha Theta induction is Nov. 29 in the cafeteria. On that same night, starting at 6 p.m., is the Junior Ring Ceremony.
On Dec. 8, the ACT will be held at Pearl River High. Students must remember to print their admission tickets (with picture identification).
On Dec. 12, the SADD club will be handing out candy canes to students. Members, make sure to bring in candy canes ASAP.
On Dec. 13, the Winter Band Concert will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria.
Winter Formal will be Dec. 15.
Auditions for the all-school musical, "Honk Jr.", will be held Dec. 3-4 from 6-8 p.m. in the cafeteria, and the read-through will be Dec. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.
"Honk Jr." is the musical version of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Ugly Duckling." It is a show audiences of all ages will enjoy.
For the auditions, the director requests that students come prepared to sing a song (CD player will be available for accompaniment, if one so chooses) and to participate in cold readings from the script. She also stresses that the students must be able to keep up with their grades before and during the musical.
The night shows will be March 22-23.
Anyone with questions is invited to visit Laurie Jo Koster in room 318.

News from the Nest: Celtic festival great but carrying a bag definitely a requirement
By Stephanie Lauritsen
A few Saturdays ago I decided to go to the Celtic festival. My husband had a meeting at the same time, so my son, daughter and I went without him. The festival was a blast. We watched a bagpipe band, dancers, and a folksy band. We also learned all about the Hjemkomst and my son's favorite part was the armor, weapons and jousting display.
In addition to all the great exhibits the organizers of the event sold passports for kids. I purchased a passport for my son and daughter and as we walked through the festival we stopped at different booths to get stickers, filling up their passport. This is a great concept. The hunt definitely kept my kids engaged as we marched through the hallways.
The only downside was also an upside. See at every exhibit they needed to visit to fill their passport there was also an art project. First they got to make a castle bank, and then a dragon. At other stops they made a necklace, crown, several coloring pages and don't forget the shield. Awesome, right? The one thing they failed to do was give us a bag in which to carry all of their projects! With a curious four year-old and seven year-old I think you can quickly guess who was carrying all of these projects for the FOUR hours we spent at the festival. My only reprieve was when we sat down to watch the dancers half way through our visit.
On our way home we were two hours past our normal lunch and my daughter was in border-line meltdown mode. As we pulled into our garage I practically jumped out of my seat excited to see my husband had beat us home. We entered and I didn't even take my coat off. I made the kiddos each a grilled cheese and told my husband I needed to go to the grocery store. We live a few minutes out of town so unless it's necessary we try to plan grocery trips around other things in town. He could tell I was stressed and told me not to worry about groceries; we had plenty of food until the next day. Then he realized why I was going and said "unless you just need to get away." "Yes," I replied, "I just need to get out." He laughed and told me with a bit of sarcasm to have fun at the grocery store.
With a sense of relief in my shoulders, I headed to town. First I went through the drive thru of my favorite coffee shop and then headed to Costco. Yes, I'm the person who gets a latte first and then goes grocery shopping. I went up and down every aisle and snacked on what seemed like endless samples which became my much needed lunch. And as we all do, I bought a lot more items than planned. My trip turned into some much needed ME time after our busy morning, even if it was just to buy groceries.
In the end it was a great day. Don't get me wrong, we'll definitely visit the Celtic Festival again. But next time I'll remember to bring my own bag.

JAM sessions help students perfect their pitch
Although a business student, third-year Fisher student Katie Deye loves a good JAM session.
In fact, Deye often leads up to 30 students at a time in early evening JAM sessions and has even earned teaching gigs. The JAM that Deye is so hot on is the Just A Minute program (JAM), which was created to help undergraduate students hone their public and impromptu speaking skills.
Deye became the student president of the student-run program last year. JAM members have even taken their program on the road, including presenting their "Ten Commandments of Public Speaking" in Professor Judith Tansky's 499 Business Administration course.
"Katie and her JAM team did an excellent job in the BA 499 lectures during autumn quarter," Tansky said. "They presented their 10 points for a successful presentation and then got students in a lecture of 240 students to stand up in front and do elevator pitch type presentations. It was great and the students loved it. I commend Katie and her team for the good things they are doing."
More than 600 students have gone through the JAM program this year. During JAM sessions, random topics are thrown at the undergraduate students, they are given 30 seconds to digest the topic and prepare their discussion. Then a stop watch is set and they have 60 seconds to deliver a clear and concise presentation on the subject. Afterwards, the students in the audience critique the presentation.
Students may be challenged to expound on everything from bicycle riding around Washington, D.C., a bad date or recall an uncomfortable situation and how they handled it. "We try keep our topics creative and fun. We want to prove to students that public speaking doesn't have to be so intimidating. Having creative topics allows us to focus on how you present and can think on your feet rather than what you know about a particular subject."
A marketing major who was also a member of Fisher's first place team in American Eagle Outfitters' marketing competition, Deye credits her participation in the program for helping overcome her fears.
"Impromptu public speaking used to absolutely terrify me," Deye said. With the constant practice and the fun we have in JAM, now I'm more comfortable in my own skin."
Her strong presentation skills were not only helpful during the American Eagle competition, but they also helped land her a brand management internship at Proctor & Gamble. She won a place at the Cincinnati-based company after participating in P&G's Ohio State Leadership Advantage Camp last fall.

NASA in recent weeks has released two jaw-dropping high-definition composite images of Earth from space.
The first "Blue Marble" image showed the United States. By popular demand -- the first photo has been viewed more than 3 million times on Flickr -- the agency has released a second image, this time featuring Africa, the Middle East and part of Asia.
Both images compile photographs from multiple orbits that were taken using a satellite instrument called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). NASA provides more details on its website:
Compiled by NASA Goddard scientist Norman Kuring, this image has the perspective of a viewer looking down from 7,918 miles (about 12,742 kilometers) above the Earth's surface from a viewpoint of 10 degrees South by 45 degrees East. The four vertical lines of 'haze' visible in this image shows the reflection of sunlight off the ocean, or 'glint,' that VIIRS captured as it orbited the globe.
The images, hailed as the most detailed Earth-from-space shots ever seen, are named after the famous Blue Marble photo taken during NASA's Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

Yesterday, I was told to "fuck off" and then hung up on by a journalist at the Daily Telegraph.
Charming, no?
Now, it's worth stating upfront that I hate the ongoing sniping between PRs and journalists – that one side can't do their jobs properly and that the other is always unpleasant and grabby – because it doesn't do either side any favours, and aside from anything else, it's boring to hear about. We'd all be better off if we admit we need each other, and learn to get along.
But this isn't that.
I'm not getting my knickers in a twist because someone isn't interested in a story I've pitched and has been a bit short with me. I understand that journalists are stressed out and busy; anecdotally outnumbered three to one by PRs – some of whom are just bad at their jobs, pitching badly researched and irrelevant stories at already-harassed journos. Hell, I live with a journalist: I frequently come home to tales of terrible PR practices and frankly ridiculous levels of idiocy.
As I said: this isn't that.
I'm aggrieved because yesterday, in the course of doing my job, I was subjected to verbal abuse – because that's what it was. And whilst I'm all for freedom of expression – shock horror, I've even been known to find funny jokes at my own expense – I'm rather of the opinion that no-one should be on the receiving end of abuse, verbal or physical, whether in their own home, out on the street, or in a place of work.
One of the responses I received about the incident yesterday suggested it's part of the job when you're a PR, and that we "have to be thick-skinned". I completely refuse to accept that. The thick skin, fair enough: sometimes journalists are extremely short on the phone – even when they then go on to run the story you've pitched. That, I agree, is just part of the job. But I completely reject the idea that it's ever okay to be on the end of expletive outbursts – especially when you've said little more than where you're calling from.
Before I give the impression that all Telegraph staffers are like this: they're absolutely not. Most of the people I've had the fortune to deal with at the paper are second in their charming nature only to journalists at the FT. But not this one.
And whilst I'm made of fairly strong stuff and my response was little more than a rolled eye and an aggrieved tweet, I'm sure there are some people out there who would be really quite affected by such behaviour – and if they're afraid to pick up the phone next time, their job performance will suffer because of it.
Conduct like this isn't just everyday brusqueness: it's unprofessional and abusive, and no-one – PR or otherwise – should have to put up with it.
Words and smiles and conkers.
