Man thew cocaine out of car, had hilarious excuse for cop
A known crack cocaine dealer was spotted speeding by police, who took the opportunity to pull him over.
What 30-year-old Jarrod Brelan allegedly did next was unexpected.
Brelan led the police on a short chase, during which police said he three at least three handfuls of cocaine out of the car window, landing on his car, the road, and the police car.
When Brelan finally stopped, he claimed he did not know where the flying cocaine came from, suggesting it must have been raining cocaine.
Brelan was arrested and faces charges including cocaine possession and fleeing law enforcement.

This is my third blog exploring this particular chart. Why Boston?
Today we have thoughts from Ed Liu, of Boston Teacher Residency. He writes:
The cap (and MA's pioneering accountability measures for charter schools) may have actually has spurred true competition and improvement in the sector. Much of the rhetoric around charter schools have overly simplistic conceptions of how markets actually work. Too many policy makers and advocates don't really understand:
(a) the nuances of how markets behave,
(b) and the role what institutions and regulations can play in helping markets function productively.
The reality is that in many jurisdictions there is really very little demand-side competition because demand so much overstrips supply. Parents are desperate for good options, and schools actually don't face much pressure to fill their enrollment slots. They have more than enough people entering the lottery. (Now this is a gross generalization).
So, the market discipline doesn't often come from the demand side and parent choice signaling to schools that they need to improve. (And I'm not even going to get into how complex it is for parents to judge quality and how parents' preferences and tastes vary).
The cap in MA and also the strong approval and accountability regimes in MA made schools have to complete for expansion rights. So, the regulatory context helped drive competition, not unfettered markets. This suggests the importance of really thinking through how the rules of the game are structured.
The cap also led to concentration of human capital into a limited number of schools. If you were interested in working in charter sector, there were only so many places to work. Which gets to Scott Given's point in your previous blog. Had their been no cap, you might have seen a dilution of talent and people left sooner to start their own schools or work in other schools (not that this probably hasn't happened already, as Scott noted). Layer onto this norms of collaboration (maybe the result of personal relationships and having worked together in the same school at one time or going to university together) and that tempered cut-throat competition, and the early emergence of incubator type organizations, and you have a sector in Boston that learned and improved over time.
So, my take: institutions and regulations actually matter a lot especially in a field like education. The simplistic assumptions that all we need to do is lift caps and deregulate are specious.
Read some other opinions (from Neerav, Jon, and Scott) about Boston's charter superiority here.

At this year's Edgefest, the annual multi-act concert put on by KDGE/102.1 FM "The Edge," DJ Jessie Jessup showed up in a bunny suit. She had originally planned to dress up as a dancing cupcake (part of a pledge to Patrick Carney of Edgefest headliner the Black Keys), but when she went to buy the outfit, Jessup told AllAccess.com, she spotted a bunny suit just like the one in A Christmas Story and couldn't resist.
This is just one of the many off-the-wall things the afternoon DJ has done since coming to KDGE 12 years ago, when it was still at 94.5 FM. She has also had a number of art contests -- crayon art, taco art (of bands eating tacos or being the filling in them) and stickpeople art (including a recent Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter theme). She recently invited listeners to post pictures of themselves smashing their faces against glass for a shot at winning Vans Warped Tour tickets.
If this all sounds zany, there's a definite method to Jessup's madness, and it has helped her build a following that has been one of the keys to the Edge's revitalization.
Jessup worked in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia before coming to the Edge, and had done similar contests in other cities, but they never took off like they did in DFW. And it all began in 2001 with a U2 macaroni-art contest.
"A listener called and said she would do 'anything,' for tickets to their show at Reunion Arena," Jessup said in an e-mail interview. "I kidded with her by saying 'What? Like macaroni art?' And she screamed and shouted 'Yes!' A week later she showed up with an extraordinary 5-foot-by-10-foot portrait of the band made entirely out of shell pasta, with shards of light emanating from each head, made out of spaghetti."
That led, by popular demand, to a Depeche Mode macaroni-art contest, with one ambitious entrant constructing a 9-foot statue of lead singer Dave Gahan that was made out of elbow macaroni -- except for one key part.
"The highlight of this piece was the fully edible, detachable strawberry-shortcake penis," Jessup says. "That still makes me laugh. Ever since then, the creative and frequently artistic-themed contests have grown and evolved.... It has been a blast."
This isn't usually the stuff of afternoon DJs, who, unless they're talk-radio types, generally have about 30 seconds to talk between song sets and commercial breaks. But then-Edge program director Duane Doherty had put out an ad for a creative afternoon DJ around the time Jessup lost her job at a Los Angeles station because it flipped to a Spanish format, and Jessup responded and seemed to fit perfectly.
"Jessie Jessup is one of the most talented, passionate, wonderfully weird people I have ever had the pleasure and frustration to work with, and I mean that as a huge compliment," says Doherty, who is now owner of Effin Texas, a bar and grill based in New York State. "If you look up the definition of 'perfectionist,' when it comes to her craft, her picture is right there -- probably sporting a wild hat and funky shades ... and maybe a furry animal."
Jessup would probably appreciate that colorful description. A big believer in "Theater of the Mind" radio, she takes an almost visual approach to an audio medium.
"I have always been an intensely visual thinker and learner, and that lifelong trait has been a lot of fun to play with on my show," says Jessup, who is on air from 2 to 7 p.m. weekdays on KDGE. "It is the ultimate way to make sure it is inclusive."
You can see many of the results of Jessup's contests -- and a whole lot more, such as off-color cartoons, unusual music videos, book recommendations and roller-derby fandom -- on Jessup's blog. All the Edge personalities have blogs and make use of social media, but Jessup has done it especially well, with a Twitter feed (@JessieJessup) that's a must-follow collection of the silly, the serious and the surreal. Her one-two punch of on-air and online antics has helped her stand out in an era when traditional radio has been assailed by iPods, Spotify, satellite radio and Internet streaming.
"You only have 30 to 45 seconds to say whatever it is, so it is imperative to make every word count," Jessup says. "I usually go zero to left field immediately. Non sequiturs, puns, severed heads. You name it, I will use it. Not because I am a spaz but because speaking visually galvanizes a listener to create their own mental picture, and now they are a part of what you are doing."
Although the station's playlist restrictions prevent her from playing much local music on her show, Jessup says she is a big supporter of the local scene. And that doesn't just go for music.
"There is roller derby, and burlesque, and Naked Girls Reading, and 'Tuesday Night Trash' at The Texas Theatre, and gas-station restaurants in Watauga," Jessup says. "There are astounding charitable organizations here, too, like Patriot Paws Service Dogs, Love Hope Strength and the Phoenix Project. There is so much extraordinary energy in DFW that it is tangible and thermopoetic. I do what I can to promote all of it because this is my home and I love it."
With automated formats on the rise and "voice-tracking" -- in which a DJ does shows in cities that he or she might not even live in -- on the rise, personality radio like Jessup's seems to be at risk. But Jessup has remained relevant by being zany, nimble and, most of all, original.
"Radio is not dying nor will it ever die (no matter what the silly cynics have to say on the subject) because the one thing radio has that no other medium can provide or even compete with is a connection to the local community," Jessup says. "And it is only the voice of a sentient human soul who can offer that. Technology is a super sexy mistress, but it will never be able to effectively reassure a listener of their humanity the way a fellow human being can. Ultimately, radio isn't about music or macaroni. It is about what those things represent, and that is ... comfort."

All Quiet in the Silent Issue of 'The Sixth Gun' #21 [Preview]
I've been a pretty big fan of Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's The Sixth Gun since it kicked off, but this week, they've given me another reason to love that book: a silent issue. In next week's Sixth Gun #21, they've put together a thrilling homage to G.I. Joe #21 with a story where Becky Montcrief rescues her friend in a silent assault on a sinister stronghold.
And this time, there are magic pistols and spectral tentacle monsters involved.For those of you who may not be familiar with it, G.I. Joe #21 featured Larry Hama and Steve Leialoha's classic "Silent Interlude," an adventure that was told with no dialogue, captions or sound effects. That story is frequently a fixture on lists of the Best Single Issues of All Time, and with good reason. With the exception of a few lines on a computer screen, it's completely wordless, and it works beautifully, both for the tension of the story and for highlighting Snake-Eyes.
It's been homaged again and again over the years, notably by Hama himself in a few sequels, and Sixth Gun #21 follows in that tradition perfectly. The difference is that Bunn and Hurtt have thrown in their signature brand of creepy Western mysticism, from blinded oracles to magic pistols to men on chains as hunting dogs. It's thrilling stuff. It's also worth noting that they've flipped the roles around, with the red-haired Becky saving the dark and mysterious Drake Sinclair rather than the dark and mysterious Snake-Eyes rescuing Scarlett — who, to be fair, was plotting her own pretty badass escape over the course of the issue too.
Also, it doesn't have Destro playing with his Official GI Joe Chess Set, but one comic can't have everything. Check out the preview pages below and, if you haven't already read it, pick up the Sixth Gun v.1 and 2 from finer comic book stores or ComiXology, and get ready for next week's silent action!
Writer: Cullen Bunn
Artist: Brian Hurtt
Colorist: Bill Crabtree
Format: Standard, Full Color
Page Count: 32
Price: $3.99
Genre: Western / Fantasy
Age Rating: T – Teen
Release Date: April 18, 2012
DESCRIPTION: Using the power of the Sixth Gun, Becky Montcrief invades the sanctum of the Knights of Solomon in order to rescue Drake Sinclair! Becky's enemies have often seen her as the helpless damsel in distress-but no more! Once she's finished with them, the Knights will know without a doubt that she is the deserving wielder of the deadliest weapon ever created!

I hadn't intended to purchase another BMW after selling my e36, but I suspect my condition is terminal because after I test drove this gal I came down with the sickness again; purchased her on the spot. That said, she's quite the step up from my old 325is, yet familiar somehow. At the moment I have no particular plans in mind for her, other than to simply enjoy the ride.

Miles Driven: 112000
Modifications: 0
I bought this car with a crapped-out automatic transmission. I wanted a project car; something to build memories (and mechanical skills with, which I completely lacked) and flog at SCCA events. Originally, I was just going to replace the dead slushbox and drive it, but instead took on the challenge of converting it to a manual. After three months and having no actual mechanical ability, I took the car to its first autocross. I was in love. I moved into a cheaper apartment to feed my addiction, and ended up converting the suspension, brakes, and interior to M-spec aftermarket pieces. A few weeks ago I put my baby up for sale, as I just don't have the time that I used to for her anymore, and it's time for a change. Luckily, a good friend tossed me the money I asked for and took her home, so she remains "in the family."

A failing grade for Minnesota schools has more to it than meets the eye.
Despite the coverage of his on-field performance, Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings may still be on of the best-kept secrets in Minnesota sports in one area: pure decency.
Where did Lindsay Whalen of the Minnesota Lynx go after the WNBA season ended here? Turkey, where her team won the championship this week.

Hertz Advances to 5-Year High on 2015 Profit ForecastMark Clothier
Hertz Global Holdings Inc., the largest publicly traded U.S. auto-rental chain, rose to its highest level in more than five years after projecting profit for 2015 that was higher than analysts' estimates.
The shares jumped 6.9 percent to $23.41 at the close in New York, the highest price since October 2007. Hertz has advanced 44 percent this year compared with an 10 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Hertz is benefiting from its $2.6 billion acquisition last year of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc., which solidified its position as the second-largest U.S. rental-car chain, behind closely held Enterprise Holdings Inc. Adjusted earnings per share for 2015 will be $3.10 to $3.30, the Park Ridge, New Jersey based company said today in an investor presentation posted on its website. Analysts projected $2.39 a share, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
"The 2015 plan is clearly better than most expected," Fred Lowrance, a Nashville, Tennessee-based analyst at Avondale Partners LLC, said in an e-mail. "The Dollar Thrifty acquisition should prove to be an even bigger game-changer than expected, and the legacy rental car and equipment-rental businesses are likely to continue the positive momentum that they displayed over the last couple of years."
Lowrance has a market outperform rating on the stock.
Revenue will increase at a compounded annual rate of 12.5 percent to 13.5 percent through 2015, compared with a September 2011 forecast of as much as 8 percent, the company said today. Hertz said it plans to use its cash to repay debt and expand the business as well as return it to shareholders.

They called it "art in the streets" and that is exactly what they got. The Museum of Contemporary Art (Moca) in Los Angeles finds itself at loggerheads with the city's police force, amid allegations that its latest blockbuster exhibition has led to a spike in spray can-fuelled vandalism.
A week after it opened America's largest major show devoted entirely to graffiti, Moca has been accused of turning the Little Tokyo neighbourhood surrounding its Geffen Contemporary Gallery into a "magnet" for petty criminals. As a result, the success of an exhibition which is attracting huge crowds to admire work by Banksy, Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey and others is being overshadowed by controversy. In addition to being accused of celebrating and inspiring vandalism, the gallery is also being forced to remove graffiti from nearby streets.
Moca's PR department was also yesterday asked to explain why at least four of the artists invited to Los Angeles to contribute pieces for the exhibition devoted a portion of their stay to doing what comes naturally: illegally defacing some of the city's most prominent walls.
Three well-known "taggers" in the Moca show – Barry McGee, Steve Powers, and Todd James (who is better known as Reas) – this week posted videos online that showed them taking spray cans to a wall in Hollywood. A fourth, the French artist Space Invader, who features heavily in the film Exit Through the Gift Shop, was arrested while attempting to affix one of his signature mosaics to a Los Angeles wall.
Police claim that in addition to bringing these "criminals" to their city, Moca's exhibition has inspired dozens of taggers who are not featured in the exhibition (but want to piggyback the attention it has received) to deface urban furniture in the neighbourhood around the gallery.
"The exhibit kind of glorifies graffiti," said Sergeant Augie Pando, of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, who helps oversee his force's anti-graffiti campaign. "It puts taggers on front street."
A colleague told yesterday's Los Angeles Times: "We respect the rights to have an art exhibition, but we demand the security of other people's property... if you want to be an artist, buy a canvas."
Moca has so far refused to comment. But it highlights some of the inconsistencies raised by elevating a criminal activity to the status of mainstream art. "These artists are good enough for the city to put their work in one of its major cultural institutions. But if they do it on the streets, where the art is meant to be seen, the city will have them arrested," Sebastian Buck, who writes the blog Unurth, said.
Other pundits noted that the police's efforts to crack down on street art come at a time when the city is easing regulations to make it easier to place commercial-advertising billboards in public spaces. "It's crazy. If you stand by any mural, you will see people stopping to take photographs of it. Street art makes the city a better place," said Greg Linton, the editor of Melrose & Fairfax, the biggest street-art website in Los Angeles. "Tourists like it, and most residents like it."

While the incense was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying. - Luke 1:10
For the Old Testament priest Aaron, his sons, and indeed, for all people, God designed a specific time for prayer. Every morning and evening the priest burned holy incense upon the altar in the tabernacle. This was to be done not only when the people were faced with trials, fears, or death; it was to be offered perpetually—"from generation to generation" (Exodus 30:8). Often, however, we rush to that altar only in times of extremity, anxiety, or perplexity. We don't practice perpetual praise, and therefore we are not in the habit of giving thanks in all things when trouble comes (Ephesians 5:20). But our text from Luke reminds us that the people were praying regularly "while the incense was being burned"—not just in the hour of need!
Jesus told us that his people should pray constantly and never give up (Luke 18:1). "Keep on praying," echoed the apostle Paul (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
God designed the altar of incense so that it could be carried by the children of Israel in their desert pilgrimage—a perpetual reminder of their perpetual privilege (Exodus 30:1-10). However, it is worth noting that such prayer was to be a privilege of obedience. God's rules are rules. He didn't say, "I'll meet you there if you like, if you remember, or if you're desperate!" God told Aaron that "he must burn fragrant incense on the altar" (Exodus 30:7, italics mine). Such perpetual praise is not merely an option for the child of God. It is a simple, sweet necessity, for it glorifies the Lord.

Summer Reads program receives $1,000 award
The Morrison County Area Foundation presented a check in the amount of $1,000 to Bridget Britz, executive director of Horizon Health Inc. for the RSVP Summer Reads Program. The Summer Reads program involved children pre-K through fifth grade at libraries in Little Falls, Upsala, Pierz and Royalton. Summer Reads provided an eight-week program and offered stimulating educational activities to improve literacy, reduce the "summer slide" and foster the love of reading.
"The Summer Reads program sponsored by Horizon Health RSVP is there to help students who are at risk of academic failure due to poor reading skills, Robin Klosowski, president of the Morrison County Foundation, said. "Summer tutors improve reading skills and help Morrison County children improve their academics and self-confidence."

5 Secrets Every Millennial Salesperson Should Know
They say the art of selling is dead.
They say it's lost and can't be found. They say that technology has taken the place of sales people.
But I've never heard any person or publication say that technology has taken the place of great sales people. Why? Because it hasn't.
As a Millennial who has been selling for more than eight years, I can tell you this: There is no computer, smartphone or other piece of technology that can replace great sales people.
I've had the opportunity to travel around the world selling Emerald, a line of over 220 sustainable products, including tree free towel and tissue products made from renewable sugarcane fiber.
Over those eight years (and countless plane rides), I've developed five core principles that have helped me close tens of millions of dollars in business.
The origin of these principles comes from books, articles and renowned authors.
But more importantly, they come from brilliant people and experiences that I've encountered along the way.
So, listen carefully and execute:
Find something you're truly passionate about.
If you don't believe in it, you won't understand it, and if you don't understand it, how can you sell it?
Stop selling and start helping.
I don't just mean showing the client how your product is going to help him or her. That's important, but there's a deeper meaning to this.
Learn about peoples' challenges, learn about their families, learn about their hobbies and then be truly passionate about making their lives easier.
If you know your client is an early morning person, set up 6:00 am meetings.
Get your ass there on time, and I promise he or she will look at you in a whole new light.
Be a chameleon, but an authentic one.
In other words, know your audience.
If you think you can communicate to a CEO the same way you communicate to the mailroom clerk, you're wrong.
I don't mean you shouldn't have the same amount of respect for both. You absolutely should.
But you're going to connect with them in distinctly different ways, so you have to communicate to them in different ways. There's an art to blending in, but there's a greater art to blending in authentically.
You don't have to change who you are to be a chameleon. Different circumstances require different versions of you, but you can blend in while keeping true to your core values.
Be persistent and consistent, but not annoying.
Forty-nine percent of sales people never follow up after meeting a prospect. ALWAYS follow up. If you feel like you're being annoying, then let them know.
"Mr. Prospect, I hope my follow up is not bothering you, but…" I promise, it will knock down barriers and clear the air.
Good clients respect persistency and consistency. Remember, it's equally important to keep both of those values even after you've landed the account.
Soft sells close the big deals.
There is no better art to master than the soft sell.
The days of the hard sell ("buy this by 4 pm and you'll get 20 percent off") are over.
If you want to be a great salesperson, stay in touch with your prospects even after they say "no."
Educate them with industry information, send them a birthday card or a small holiday gift and show them your success with other clients in the same or similar industries.
You never want to appear desperate or in need of their business. Remember, they should feel like they need you, and developing that need is an art worth learning.
These principles are the foundation to being a great salesperson, but greatness comes with sacrifice.
So, you need you ask yourself how badly you want to succeed because nothing great or worthwhile comes easy.
However, the harder the fight, the sweeter the victory.
Selling is the hardest art in the world to master. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Don't give up, stay persistent, work hard, live your business and go conquer the world.

Here's The Biggest Bourbon Selection In Columbia, Soon The States?
Kristian Niemi might hail from Minneapolis, but his soul is Southern. Case in point: His restaurant, opening Monday, April 28, is named Bourbon, is located on Columbia, South Carolina's now-bustling Main Street, and boasts the largest bourbon selection in Columbia. Kristian is ambitious — he aims to grow the selection to be one of the largest in the U.S. Oh, and Bourbon serves homemade Cajun-Creole fare like boudin and andouille sausage. Not quite the lutefisk of the upper Midwest.
The 1,800 square foot restaurant occupies the historic Brennan Building on Main Street. Since 1864, the building has been home to many things, among them a saloon, billiard hall, and even a boarding house. "I walked in, saw the space and was immediately drawn to it," says Kristian. "There were some rough walls still in there, covered in the years of plaster and paint and scraped-off wallpaper paste. We just left it as is, because you can never replicate that."
Presently, the bar features 100 types of bourbon, but Kristian hopes to reach 200 soon enough, with plans to top out at 250.
What You're Drinking
The Hurricane
Kick things off with a Hurricane, a nod to Bourbon Street's dangerous elixir. But instead of mixing well liquors and a packaged mix, Bourbon's version includes High West Bourbon, Dark Quarter Distillery white whiskey, passion fruit vinegar, orange juice, and grenadine. Might not be on Bourbon Street, but Kristian says, "It's about four ounces of booze, so it'll kick your …"
Ringo's Pistol
Kristian and a friend love old spaghetti westerns, trading obscure ones in a quest for the ultimate flick. So Kristian named a drink after one of his favorites, A Pistol for Ringo. It's an unusual mix of Bulleit Bourbon, Ramazzotti Amaro, Meyer Lemon Juice, and chocolate-infused house bitters. "You get the sweetness of the bourbon and the bitterness of the Amaro," Kristian says. "It's a good drink for people being introduced to Amaro."
Bourbon, Bourbon, Bourbon
Maybe you're a no-frills kind of bourbon drinker. If that's the case, you really can't go wrong at a joint called Bourbon. When raiding his own bar, Kristian goes with Old Forester Birthday Bourbon. If he wants something a little stronger, he pulls out the George T. Stagg (and presumably shouts, "Play it once, Sam.").
What You're Eating
The kitchen's helmed by Chef Gordon Langston, who comes from Charleston's Fat Hen. Kristian says he chose Cajun-Creole because of its pairing with bourbon but also mentioned that his "wife's office is directly across the street, and those are probably her two favorite food types, creole and cajun." And with a dedicated beignet fryer, 20% chicory coffee from Columbia's Immaculate Consumption, and dishes like house-made fried boudin, it's hard to think she won't be satisfied.
Here's proof. You could have the Bourbon Lacquered Pork Belly Po'Boy with Crystal Hot Sauce-spiked blue cheese slaw for lunch, the Grilled Manchester Farms Quail with Wil-Moore Chicken Livers and house-made Andouille for dinner, drink until late in the evening, and finish the night off with fried boudin balls and creole pimento cheese with sweet peppadew peppers.

Mayor of Philippine City to Visit Dubai
Director-General of Dubai Municipality Qassim Sultan received in his office on Monday Philippine Ambassador Amable Aguiluz III and Consul Renato P.O. Villa. They reviewed bilateral relations between the municipality and two Philippine cities, according to Khaleej Times.
Aguiluz hailed Dubai's high urban growth and expressed his desire for further cooperation and exchange of expertise with Dubai. He conveyed to Sultan the interest of the Philippine cities Mandaluyong and Makati to have sister-city relationships with Dubai.
"The meeting we had with the director-general was very positive. We told Mr Sultan that Makati City Mayor Jojo Binay, who is likely to visit Dubai during the Dubai Shopping Festival in March, was keen on meeting him to discuss details on the bilateral relations. He showed interest in our proposal and welcomed the visit of Mayor Binay" Aguiluz conveyed to Khaleej Times.
He added that Mandaluyong and Makati, like Dubai, were considered central business districts. By having sister-city ties with Dubai, both the Philippine cities will learn from Dubai's experiences in the realm of municipal work as well as in other areas. (Albawaba.com)

Rockaway Teens Plead Not Guilty In November 'A Train' Murder
Rockaway Teens Plead Not Guilty In November 'A Train' Murder
By Howard Schwach
Two Rockaway teenagers, who were accused of killing a young father during an attempted mugging at the Beach 36 Street Subway stop in November, pled not guilty to charges of murder, robbery, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property in Queens Supreme Court on Wednesday.
As the victim's mother screamed "liar," and "they killed my son," the judge accepted the plea of Raymond (Murder) Burney and Mark Ebanks, both of Far Rockaway.
Police say that Burney, 18, was the gunman who killed Shamel Smith, 21 during an attempted mugging on the elevated subway station. Ebanks reportedly acted as the lookout.
Smith, a Brooklyn native, had spent the night at a friend's house in Rockaway and was heading to Brooklyn to pick up his two small children to see a movie when he was killed.
In statements released on Wednesday, Ebanks told detectives, "Murder says 'give me your money.' The train stops, the door opens and the man grabs Raymond. They start tussling back and forth. Then Raymond holds the gun directly at the guy and shoots once."
In his statement, Burney puts some of the blame on Ebanks. "Me and the kid started tussling, wrestling. Then Mark came back and hit the kid once or twice with his fist to get the kid off me. When the kid got off me, I pulled the trigger once and nothing happened. Then, I pulled it again and one shot went off."
Burney added that Ebanks "grabbed the gun and shot once or twice."
Two transit police officers heard the shots. At the scene, they arrested Ebanks and recovered the gun along with Smith's gold chain, cell phone and keys.
Burney fled, but was picked up the next day by detectives led to a relative's Brooklyn home by Ebanks.
Both Burney and Ebanks were ordered held without bail until their next court date, which was set for
July 6.
Both Rockaway men face 25 years to life if they are convicted of the charges.

BeschreibungAs Dominique strolled across the enormous lobby of the Hotel, stopping a moment to remove her shoes, as the tiny pumps had left sweltering blisters upon her dainty feet; she took no notice of the man who sat, silently in a high back leather chair, observing her. She had no way of knowing, as she stepped on to that elevator with shoes in hand, that she was the focal point of something sinister. As the doors closed and she disappeared from his sight the man pulled a commlink from inside his jacket and quickly pressed the button that would contact his associate. 'She just got into the elevator," he said. 'Is she alone?" 'Yes. He dropped her off at the front entrance and left." 'Good. We don't have much time. Get her."

Evander Holyfield: Being Gay Is A 'Choice,' Can Be 'Fixed' Like Other 'Handicaps'
Evander Holyfield is under fire for comments he made about homosexuality on "Celebrity Big Brother UK." Check out the video below!
On Saturday's episode, the former heavyweight champ was asked if there are gay athletes in boxing, and Holyfield went on to express his belief that homosexuality is wrong. "That ain't normal," he told housemate Luisa Zissman, citing the bible as evidence.
Though Zissman warned him that this "wasn't an appropriate conversation to have in this house," Holyfield wouldn't back down. He went on to compare gays to "handicapped people," and said they can be "fixed," just like "if you're born and your leg would turn this way, what do you do, you go to the doctor and get it fixed that way."
Zissman told Holyfield that homosexuality is not something someone chooses, but he disagreed. "Yes, it is a choice," he insisted. Though he wasn't formally reprimanded for his comments, Holyfield was warned that his remarks were "extremely offensive" and won't be "tolerated" in the future.

The Cardiovascular Health (CVH) Program's mission is to provide leadership in the state of Alabama to prevent death and disability from heart disease and stroke, eliminate disparities in health and health care, and work with its many partners to fully implement a plan focusing on policy and system changes in the worksite, healthcare, and community settings. Find us on Facebook and Twitter!
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is accepting RFPs for mini-grants to initiate activities that promote clinical innovations, team-based care, and self-monitoring of blood pressure. For more information, view the RFP.
Untreated hypertension can cause serious health consequences or death. Prevention is key. Learn more about high blood pressure, the "silent killer."
People with diabetes face a greater chance of having heart problems such as a heart attack or stroke. But those with diabetes can take steps at reducing their chances of getting heart disease. Here are some resources produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, but it can often be prevented by identifying risk factors and making healthy lifestyle choices. Help your Medicare patients reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke:
Visit the Preventive Services website to learn more about Medicare-covered services.
Million Hearts has made available some useful resources for both patients and providers about maintaining high blood pressure. A two-page handout entitled "High Blood Pressure: How to Make Control Your Goal" is geared towards patients and provides a general outline of how to manage the condition. Million Hearts also compiled a toolkit for practitioners, patients, and their families about maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.
About 70 million American adults have high blood pressure - that's 1 out of every 3 adults per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only about half (52%) of those with high blood pressure have their condition under control. Nearly 1 out of 3 American adults have blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal, but not yet in the high blood pressure range. High blood pressure costs the nation $46 billion each year which includes the cost of health care services, medications to treat high blood pressure and missed days of work. ADPH created the 2016 Blood Pressure Control for Better Health program to provide practical steps for blood pressure control. The two-hour program is specifically designed for nurses, social workers, clinicians, public health and pharmacists.
The CDC has released resources concerning healthy living habits for heart disease prevention. By living a healthy lifestyle, you can help keep your blood pressure normal and lower your risk for heart disease and heart attack. The Million Hearts program has also made available information concerning prevention of heart disease and stroke. Review these resources today and learn more about how you can protect your heart!

Ok stay room was nice and clean as well as being helpful Food wasn't great, breakfast which was supposed to be a buffet but cooked to order due to not enough people having breakfast (fair enough) but when you only have a choice of bacon, sausage (had a funky taste) egg, beans and hash browns, doesn't quite stack up to a 'full breakfast'.
Good hotel, let down by poor food.

The situation in Syria is serious. Amnesty International has accused the United Nations Security Council of failing to "match the courage" of protestors in the beleaguered Middle Eastern country. It's newsworthy and the BBC is covering it. Unfortunately, they made the situation comical for Xbox gamers who noted that the logo they used for the UN was actually the United Nations Space Command emblem from HALO.
It makes it more humorous that it's not just posted, it's featured prominently in the background of the news anchor. News agencies: it's a good idea to have gamers on staff, even if to keep mistakes like this from happening.

Raise your hand if you recycle! A mainstream practice in most of our lives, recycling has gained widespread popularity through the use of formal recycling programs, updated laws and regulations, and the popular use of reusable bags! Recycling in everyday life is simple, but it's even simpler in the garden through the practice of composting. Composting allows you to recycle waste and scraps to create a very robust fertilizer for your plants.
Compost is a mixture of decomposed organic matter that provides nutrients and fertilizers to your garden. An equal combination of green materials and brown materials ensure compost success. Green materials are rich in nitrogen and protein and cause heat in a compost pile. Brown materials are carbon- and carbohydrate-rich and they feed the organisms and microbes that cause decomposition. Compost eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers, reduces the need for extra watering, and promotes higher crop yield.
It is easy to get started with your homegrown compost pile! More than 25% of an average household's waste consists of yard trimmings and food scraps that can be composted. Use a contained bin or a vacant space in your garden and collect leaves, twigs, straw, grass clippings, ground coffee, vegetable and fruit scraps, and more. Following the provided directions, add a compost starter like Ringer® Compost Plus Organic Compost Starter to activate and expedite the decomposition process and mix the waste materials thoroughly.
Continually add kitchen and yard scraps to your compost pile to continue the process. The most crucial aspect of composting is an on-going presence of greens and browns in the compost pile. Mix and stir your compost pile every week or so to add the new compost materials and introduce them to the decomposition process.
Add compost to your beds when transplanting seedlings, sowing seeds, or moving plants around in your garden. Throughout the growing season, use compost to provide ongoing nutrients to your plants.

Blogs Liberty and Power The Best Show on Television (Possibly)Sep 23, 2004 9:39 pm
The Best Show on Television (Possibly)
What's amazing about "Rescue Me" is that it is absolutely not politically correct. The firemen use all the language they might really use, they talk about all the things they might really talk about (you can imagine, I'm sure), and they face the problems and pressures men in situations like that really face. On top of that, it's convincingly acted and the story lines are lively, unpredictable, and interesting.
A recent story line is that the fire house has been forced by the Mayor and the courts to have a woman fire fighter. The men of the firehouse hate the idea and the woman, and they are allowed to express exactly what they would be expressing, and in exactly the terms they would use. When the woman actually shows up on her first day and it turns out she's beautiful, things get a bit dicey; but their heated objections, her defenses of herself, and the workings out, or attempted workings out, of the dynamics are, as I said, about the most honest thing I've ever seen on TV.
I quite frankly don't know how they get away with it. I recommend watching the show before some PC nazi catches on and shuts it down.

Jonathan Dresner - 9/24/2004
...Go back and read what they said about "Sex and the City" a few years ago.
Chris Matthew Sciabarra - 9/24/2004
Jonathan, it certainly does have that character in some respects. But I do agree with James that it is, at least, one of the best shows on TV.
One thing that's worth mentioning is that the show's characters are all very much post-9/11 people; this is one of the most raw, and most honest, portrayals of how surviving firefighters have psychologically processed the horrors they've witnessed. It is both raw and honest, as I said, without being exploitative. The show makes extensive use of fantasy sequences with the Denis Leary character talking to an assortment of departed souls, including one lost on 9/11.
I should also note that as politically un-PC as the show is, a more appropriate designation might be politically "post-PC"; by that, I mean that the show deals frankly and honestly with themes ranging from homosexuality to violence, and it deals with these themes in ways that are not at all stereotypical.
In any event, it's certainly a show worth watching.
Jonathan Dresner - 9/23/2004
...which doesn't mean that its bad, just that it's catering to an audience, in this case male, which wants to think of itself as 'edgy' and 'uncensored'.

Cat Veterinary
Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hello, my name isXXXXX and I have over 20 years of experience as a veterinarian.
I am sorry to hear that Gabby seems agitated and is shaking his back legs after his veterinary appointment and vaccines today.
It is possible that he is having a mild reaction to the vaccines. These sorts of reactions can make him feel itchy, especially his paws and face, and can sometimes lead to vomiting, diarrhea, facial swelling and hives.
I recommend giving him an antihistamine to control allergic symptoms for at least 72 hours. You can try:1) Benadryl (diphenhydramine only, the combination products with decongestants and acetaminophen are toxic to cats) at 1mg per pound every 8 hours. That's a halfof 25mg tablet every 8 hours for a cat that is 8 to 15 pounds.
2) Chlorpheniramine at 4mg twice daily.
Be aware that antihistamines can cause drowsiness or hyperactivity which should resolve with continued use.He should be much more comfortable in about 2 to 3 hours.
If he begins vomiting or has diarrhea, has any difficulty breathing or facial swelling it is time to have him seen on an emergency basis for a steroid injection.
You should report this reaction to his veterinarian. It should be noted on his permanent record and the manufacturer should be informed.
In the future he should only be given one vaccine at a time and they may wish to pretreat him with anti-histamines or steroids when he is vaccinated as a precaution to prevent such reactions.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

An attorney defending against a music-piracy lawsuit didn't cross ethical bounds by filing motions broadly attacking the recording industry and posting them on his blog, a magistrate judge has ruled, rejecting demands from the RIAA for monetary sanctions.
Attorney Ray Beckerman was "less than forthcoming at times" in defending a client against an RIAA lawsuit, but the music industry's concerns were "largely overstated," New York Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy wrote Friday (.pdf).
"Although defendant's counsel took an unusually aggressive stance and, at times, veered into hyperbole and gratuitous attacks on the recording industry as a whole, I do not find clear evidence of bad faith on counsel's part,"
Levy also ruled that the RIAA, which has sued 30,000 individuals, was not a vexatious litigant, shooting down Beckerman's counter-complaint against his courtroom opponents. "Plaintiffs have doggedly pursued their copyright infringement claim, but I find no evidence of undue vexatiousness or ill motive on their part," Levy wrote.
The opinion is not binding on the federal judge who presided over the RIAA's case against Marie Lindor, Beckerman's client who was accused of making copyrighted music available on the Kazaa file sharing program. After five depositions and three years of legal maneuvering, the RIAA has dropped the case against the woman whom Beckerman said has "never turned on a computer."
The RIAA claimed evidence tampering thwarted its case.
"I'm gratified that the motion was denied. It was based on gross misstatements of fact. I would have preferred for the judge's language to be stronger. But the result is the same," Beckerman said during a brief telephone interview.
Beckerman, a New York attorney, runs the Recording Industry vs The People blog, which takes every opportunity to criticize the music industry's litigation arm.
The RIAA, in seeking sanctions, said Beckerman "has maintained an anti-recording industry blog during the course of this case and has consistently posted virtually every one of his baseless motions on his blog seeking to bolster his public relations campaign and embarrass plaintiffs," the RIAA wrote in court briefs. "Such vexatious conduct demeans the integrity of these judicial proceedings and warrants this imposition of sanctions."
The RIAA claimed that Lindor, her family and Beckerman "intentionally provided false information, attempted to misdirect plaintiffs as to relevant facts and events, and concealed critical information and evidence regarding the infringement at issue."

I am the 2nd owner, bought it in 2004. I am a retired engineer and have taken good care of it. The fiberglass is in great condition as I have waxed it every year.
The AC, frig, furnace, water heater, etc. work great. I can't think of anything that doesn't work. The plumbing works great, have always been careful to winterize it. Three of the five tires are less than one year old. The other two are about 5 years old but have been covered when in storage and look good with lots of tread.
Had a short in the brake circuit last year and a dealer ran new wiring from the front junction box to the axle brakes. Also all the wheel bearings were replaced and repacked. Also had the seal replaced around the slide. Have the paperwork; $1100 worth of work.
Two years ago the plastic floor covering split due to a severe freeze and thaw. I read on the forum that many dealers and owners experienced this problem. I replaced the floor covering with a wood laminate that is much better looking. And installed new trim.
The hitch is an EAZ-LIFT, with weight distribution. Works great. The GVW is 5500 pounds. The dry weight is 4260 lbs.
I can deliver the trailer, if I receive payment first or a substantial deposit. Could arrange to meet you also.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PayPal X Developer Challenge: Top 10 Finalists
The grand prize winner will be announced at the PayPal Developers Conference on Oct 26-27 in San Francisco.
« October 3, 2010 - October 9, 2010 | Main | October 17, 2010 - October 23, 2010 »
The grand prize winner will be announced at the PayPal Developers Conference on Oct 26-27 in San Francisco.
Headline News is compiled by Glenbrook Partners:
Merchant processing volume was $117.0 billion on 5.2 billion total transactions processed.
With a long history of partnering with global payment networks such as Visa, MasterCard and Swift, Ixaris will offer financial institutions the means to offer payment services through a publicly-accessible application development and operating platform. Ixaris Opn avoids cumbersome integration with banks' own IT systems, thereby freeing them to bring new payment services to market. The development community can use the platform to create customized payment apps that can incorporate mainstream payment networks such as Visa or MasterCard prepaid cards, and bank transfers via SWIFT.READ MORE »
The agreement with First National Bank Alaska also marks a significant milestone for Discover, representing the completion of a multi-year effort to secure agreements and implement merchant acquiring programs with all of the top 100 merchant acquirers in the United States.
Headline News is compiled by Glenbrook Partners:
"Unlike open loop prepaid cards that are common in the US, paysafecard vouchers do not charge any fees to the consumer. Customers also do not have to register themselves when using a paysafecard. Another specific characteristic of the voucher is that it is not limited to one particular game or online-shop. It can be used at any website that offers paysafecard as a payment method."
"We believe these provisions violate our Constitutional rights on three separate grounds: the regulations take our property without just compensation and without Due Process of Law; and they also deny us Equal Protection under the law."The Durbin Amendment orders the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the interchange fees that banks can charge retailers on debit card transactions in the U.S. The Merchants Payments Coalition had this reaction to the lawsuit.
Headline News is brought to you by Glenbrook Partners:
The card payments data shows that even though we have 19 million credit cards, 190 million debit cards and half a million point-of-sale terminals, on an average there is just one transaction annually for every debit card and 11 transactions annually for every credit card.The paper looks at the problem from the perspective of banks, card companies, and merchants; and compares card practices in different countries.

Vine Vera Total Scam! Las Vegas Nevada
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was on vacation at the Paris in Las Vegas...on my hurried way to the registration desk to change my room, a very, very pushy young man offered a free sample, then propelled me into the little shop, labelled as a perfume shop. He tried out eye lotion, and then proceeded to put three different containers in a bag for me. I said fine, but that I was in a hurry. The receipt had no commas in the dollar section, and I thought I was being charged $162. I didnt' look at the stuff until two days later, and when I looked at the receipt, $1620 had been taken from my acct!! I promptly marched to the store (that had just opened for the day), and told them in no way would I pay this much for any kind of skin care. They ended up giving me two more items for a total of 5, and took off $1000 from the bill. I am still seething over the pushy and obnoxious behavior of this company's reps. There's no way a product is that good. I still haven't used the products because I am still so very mad. My advice is to avoid these people at all costs. they are pushy and don't tell you how much the items cost. I feel like a fool for not checking closer at the receipt, but they prey on people. Good business people don't treat customers this way. Beware of them at all costs!!

text: I've decided that I want to have a oil pressre guage. I would prefer to mount it in a location that doesn't involve buying anything beyond the gauge. So I was thinking about the open din slot, the the are under the ashtray and lighter, or the area under the the parking breake (when it is down). Alos, if anyone knows of where to get the best deal on the guage itself, Id appreciate any info. The cheapest I've seen is $150 and that seems expensive, but I've never bought guages so I don't really know. Another thought I had on the location, was to relocate the stereo to the clock pod and make a double din plate to mount it in where the stereo used to be.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Cozies: Are they worth the weight?
Jul 13, 2013 at 2:11 pm #1305336
David PostonBPL Member
@dgpostonLocale: NYC metro
Has anybody done testing with cozies to see if they are really worth it? Certainly they keep your food a bit warmer, but do they help significantly with the rehydration process? My MYOG envelope cozy (made from reflectix) weighs in at 1.45 oz. I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to bring one for my pot as well, or just bring the lid (or not). I use an Al foil lid which weighs in at 1.54 g.Jul 13, 2013 at 2:57 pm #2005588
David ThomasBPL Member
@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
Short answer: Your aluminum foil lid is the highest, best ROW (return on weight), followed by (other pot attributes being equal) heat exchanger fins on your pot, and lastly, a cozy.
Long answer: For the cozy, it depends on your cooking habits and trip length. But as an example, I'll make some assumptions and do the calculations:
1 liter pot, 0.5 square feet of surface area on the sides.
Delta T between pot temp and ambient air: 190F (average of 170 to 212) minus, say, 50F = 140F
R-value of air film with no cozy: 1
R-value of cozy plus air film: 2.5
Conductive/convective heat losses to the air: 0.5 sq ft x 140 F x 1 (BTU/hour-sq ft – F) = 70 BTU/hour heat loss.
Two meals a day, hot drink and hot entree in each, two weeks, 10 minutes heating and eating each of the four hot items each day: 4/day x 10 minutes each x 14 days = 9 hours.
So 630 BTUs saved. butane, propane and white gas are about 20,000 BTU per pound (but a HX pot is about 50% efficient, so you only get 10,000 BTU per pound of fuel) so 1 ounce of fuel is saved by using the cozy.
Without showing all the details for radiant heat loss, I estimated the cozy outer temp at 106F versus the bare pot at 190F. The difference in heat loss (153 BTU/hr off the bare sides versus 88 BTU/hour off the cozy) gives a savings another 585 BTU over 9 hours or one more ounce of fuel for a total of 2 ounces of fuel saved (conduction plus radiant).
Bottom line: You'd need to be be doing a fair bit of cooking over a two week period to come out ahead, balancing the weight of the cozy to the weight of the saved fuel.
However, not burning your hands on your morning coffee and oatmeal probably has some value. One pot of Ramen dumped onto to the ground because you were burning your fingers, and that represents weight and time. If you didn't have a cozy, would you use a pot gripper? I've made a 9 grams pot gripper, but most commercial ones weigh more.Jul 13, 2013 at 2:58 pm #2005589

I do think a cosy helps a lot, especially when the weather is cooler.
I was on a trip last week where a buddy was cooking rice, rather than simmer it after bringing it to the boil I told him to put the
Pot in to my cosy and it cooked away inside it.
In winter I keep my gas cans and food I don't want to freeze inside the cosy.Jul 13, 2013 at 4:16 pm #2005606
Jerry AdamsBPL Member
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
I tried a cozy on a few trips. "cooking" oatmeal or dried soup didn't really matter. Without a cozy, it cools down after a while, but before it cools too much it gets rehydrated.
If I was "cooking" food that was more difficult to rehydrate that didn't properly rehydrate without cozy, it would make a difference. So, if your food doesn't really get rehydrated enough, try a cozy, and if it's enough better then it's worth it.
If I want to keep something from freezing, or if I want to keep food or water cool in hot weather, better to position in middle of pack. If you use David's numbers, cozy gives you 2.5 R. Insulation in pack is maybe 4 R per inch, and it's maybe 4 inches thick all the way around, so it's 16 R – a cozy gives you insignificant insulation in comparison.Jul 13, 2013 at 4:31 pm #2005615

A cozy is great for holding a freezer bag of hot food in your hand and eating from it.Jul 13, 2013 at 4:57 pm #2005621

>"Insulation in pack is maybe 4 R per inch, and it's maybe 4 inches thick all the way around, so it's 16 R – a cozy gives you insignificant insulation in comparison."
Jerry: very true. Clothing makes GREAT insulation (duh). I'll move a few pounds of frozen fish thousands of miles wrapped in multiple layers of clothing interspaced with plastic bags to reduce air flow and water vapor migration.
Clarification: my value of R = 2.5 included the air film on the outside. I figured the cozy on its own as mo more than R = 1.5.
You say cozy. I say spare sock.Jul 13, 2013 at 5:04 pm #2005623

Yes they work, so for one ounce… To have your whole meal be hot, not just the under cooked first five bites…
Yes. Its is worth it.

As for the idea that without a cozy your dinner will get cold too fast … we have never experienced that. Burnt lips a few times though.

Not applicable to UL hiking but …
When cooking (not freezer bag cooking) for a group of more than a couple, a cozy covering the top and all but the lower inch or so of the pot yields very large fuel savings. Also cooking time savings. That can be a critical difference on long trips without resupply options.Jul 13, 2013 at 7:45 pm #2005680
M BMember
Yes , a cozy works good .
But for freezer bags, you dont need a dedicated cozy.
Use clothing, fleece, beanie, or even your sleeping bag. or sleeping pad. If you are scared of leaks, use another light flimsy ziplock and double bag it.
Hold the hot freezer bag in a bandana to eat.
no need for a 1oz cozy.Jul 14, 2013 at 5:21 am #2005821

Shows delta T for different levels. The main point is usefulness for cooking, not just boiling and rehydrating.

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me get this bit of code (developed in v.8) to run in v9.

This is the first time I've tried to use this do-file in v9, and no correlations are showing up in the (oblong) matrix. Any suggestions?
