Old TV darlings dumped as Golden Globes seek out the new and edgy
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Television favorites of seasons past such as "Mad Men" and "Homeland" lost out to new, edgy shows like "Masters of Sex" and "House of Cards" in the Golden Globes nominations announced on Thursday, as voters seek out TV's next big thing.
In the category of best TV dramas, Netflix's political thriller "House of Cards" and Showtime's racy sex history series "Masters of Sex" will take on AMC's gritty drug drama "Breaking Bad," PBS' British period series "Downton Abbey" and CBS' law and corruption yarn "The Good Wife."
Showtime's domestic terror drama "Homeland," which won Golden Globes for best TV drama for the past two years, failed to garner a single nomination on Thursday. Other past favorites such as AMC's advertising drama "Mad Men" and HBO's epic fantasy "Game of Thrones" were also pushed aside for new shows.
"It's the job of the people in the industry to try and prepare people for the next generation of shows, and make sure something strong is on the upwards escalator, so I welcome the new shows in the category," "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes said in an interview.
Past comedy favorites including NBC shows "The Office" and "30 Rock," both of which concluded this year, also failed to win any nods on Thursday. In this year's nominations for best comedy/musical TV series, new Fox cop comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will compete against CBS' "The Big Bang Theory," ABC's "Modern Family," HBO's "Girls" and NBC's "Parks and Recreation."
The Golden Globes, voted for by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, are one of Hollywood's top honors for film and television, and winners will be announced at a televised ceremony in Beverly Hills on January 12.
Online streaming platform Netflix barged in this year with its first forays into original programming: "House of Cards" snagged four nominations, while female prison drama "Orange is the New Black" and comedy "Arrested Development" picked up a nomination each.
A surprise entry into the mix was premium cable channel Starz, which had two shows vying for honors in the TV mini-series/movie categories, landing a network record of six nominations. Continued...

You know you are a Doctor Who Fan when...
1) You proudly proclaim that you are not a Doctor Who fan- but the correct term...A whovian.
2) You run around the PE field and look over at the corners of it longing for a blue box to appear and take you away.
3) You spend about 2 years writing endless Doctor Who Fiction.
4) You collect over 30 Classic Doctor Who DVDs and do some sort of Whovian Dance whenever you get one for birthday or Christmas.
5) You cry because your mum has relented and has bought you tickets to go and see Tom Baker at a convention at last.
6) You celebrate the 23rd of November because that's the day that Doctor Who started in 1963.
7) You speak endless Doctor lingo such as "Reverse the polarity" and "Twist the helmic regulator".
8) You dress up as the 4th Doctor on the school's fancy Dress Day and hold your head up high.

10) Star Trek fans become your sworn enemies.
11) Your friends run away everytime someone says that David Tennant is the better than any Doctor ever. Even though they've never actually seen Tom Baker so there.
12) You write a list of 12 everytime because you know that's how many regenerations the Doctor has.

Vintage 14K Gold & 1CT TW Diamond Engagement Ring/Wedding Ring Set
Welcome to ROBINS NEST MIDWEST! May I offer….
ITEM: Here's a lovely wedding set of white gold and a mass of diamonds! The wedding ring and engagement ring are soldered together so that they will never get lost. The ring features a center diamond in a floral setting with smaller diamonds acting as "leaves".
CONDITION: Excellent with no problems I can spot.
METAL CONTENT: 14K Gold
HALLMARKS: 14K Am - G © on the inside of each ring.
SIZE: 6-3/4 ring size and yes, the gold is of a thickness that it could be pounded a bit higher in size. Design at the top, north/south is 7/16"; east/west from shoulder diamond to shoulder diamonds and on a straight line is about 3/4".
DIAMONDS: The center diamond measures 3.8mm (22 points). The 2 larger diamonds north/south of the center diamond measure 3mm (10 points); the other 4 measure 2.8mm (8 points each). The shoulder diamonds measure 1.5mm to 1.8 mm (1.5 points to 2 points). Total carat weight of the ring is approximately 89 points by my reckoning but since jewelers deal in even numbers, the ring probably contains 1CT TW. The diamonds are very nice and grading is Color G, with clarity at VS1-2. This is one SPLENDID clear, clean diamond wedding set!

Promoting Leadership and Research Skills of Social Work Students: The Center for Addictions Research and Services' Mentoring Model
Boston University Center for Addictions Research and Services (CARS) is increasingly moving toward a new model of research mentoring that provides both master's level and doctoral students opportunities, through experiential learning, to gain skills needed to first-author conference presentations and articles.
CARS is not only addressing a wide variety of issues affecting individuals, families, and communities struggling with HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and access to substance abuse treatment, the center is taking great strides to promote first authorship for graduate students. CARS director and Associate Dean of Research Dr. Lena Lundgren is at the helm of this initiative to support graduate students publishing academic materials, and has been an invaluable mentor.
"During my time at CARS, I gained many skills that have shaped my professional and personal identity and will continue to guide my academic and career path going forward," said Caty Wilkey (SSW '11, SPH '12), former project coordinator at CARS. "Dr. Lundgren has shown me that being a leader in social work research means saying yes to new ideas and collaborating with diverse people, all while staying deeply committed to the community."
Recognizing the importance of publishing work early in one's graduate career, Lundgren said, "Going through each step in developing a publishable research manuscript or a conference presentation allows for leadership potential to grow and be fostered under the watchful eye of mentors who are respected researchers in the field. The CARS team works to strike a balance between giving freedom for creativity and guiding with an expert hand."
This is exemplified by, for example, Robert Mitchell Thomas, a current MSW student, who will be first authoring a presentation at the upcoming American Public Health Association annual conference in Boston this year entitled, "Implementation barriers and fidelity in implementing evidence-based addiction treatment: A national study."
Mindy D'Ippolito (SSW '11, SPH '12) was interested in research when she first began the MSW program, and she sought opportunities to learn about and do research beyond her coursework. She worked as a research assistant at CARS for the three years she was in the MSW/MPH program. Said D'Ippolito, "My experience was incredibly enriching, and a learning experience beyond anything I could have gotten from a classroom setting."
D'Ippolito worked on publications, including a first-author opportunity, performed data collection and management, quantitative and qualitative analysis, conference poster presentations, and program evaluation, and learned about all components of research, including critical thinking about research. "At CARS, I had the opportunity to be curious, grow, ask questions, and come up with my own ideas about projects on which to work. Because of my experience through CARS, I am well prepared to use and perform research as a part of my social work practice, which will ultimately benefit the clients that I serve. I hope to use these skills to bridge the gap between research and practice." Indeed, the opportunities presented to BUSSW students at CARS go beyond those afforded within the confines of the classroom.
Ivy Krull (PhD, SSW '13) noted that, "Mentoring from Dr. Lundgren on the journal publication process has been enormously valuable. She has allowed me to be a part of every step of the process—from the conception of the work to the finalization of the proofs. My exposure to the full process has made me much more confident as a writer, and I have a much greater understanding of research and the peer-review process." Krull has two first-authored articles published in Substance Abuse and the Journal of Addictive Diseases.
Students have benefited from CARS in numerous ways and have, in turn, contributed to the field in notable ways, post graduation. Therese Fitzgerald (PhD, SSW '08), director, Women's Health Policy & Advocacy Program, Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology at Brigham & Women's Hospital, credits Lundgren for the encouragement to pursue a doctorate degree. Fitzgerald was a young, working mother at the time she decided to embark on this daunting feat, as she described it.
"Dr. Lundgren was an important role model for me, and she made me feel like I could do anything while maintaining a healthy balance between my personal and professional life. The research, policy, and writing skills I learned under her leadership put me in the perfect position to excel in my policy and advocacy work," she said.
Similarly, Lisa de Saxe Zerden (PhD, SSW '09) attributes her development and cultivation of macro skills to CARS and the work she has done with Lundgren, CARS Associate Director Deborah Chassler, and the rest of the team. Currently a clinical assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, teaching within the community management and policy practice concentration, de Saxe Zerden continues to work with CARS as a faculty collaborator. "I have been able to adapt my work at CARS to build community partnerships with the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition and work on program evaluation studies of HIV prevention with law enforcement in the state," she said. Valuing her learning experience at CARS, she continues to utilize tools acquired as a student in her professional life today. "It is through my experience at CARS that I was exposed to grant writing, data collection, and evaluation requirements of federal grant mechanisms," she said.
Sarah Trocchio (SSW '11 SPH '12), a doctoral student at Rutgers University School of Criminal Justice, attributes her doctoral career decisions to CARS. "Working with CARS was an indispensable experience. During my years there, I was able to hone my research skills, develop and clarify my scholastic areas of interest, and assume a leadership role in the publications process. Each of these opportunities made me an extremely competitive candidate during the doctoral admissions process and uniquely positioned me to have a productive first year as a PhD student."
"A few years ago, I received a gift from a colleague which was a sculpture of a door. She told me she gave me this 'because I provide opportunities (open doors) for others,'" Lundgren reflected while discussing her decision to focus on students taking leadership roles in research. "This is one of the key aims of CARS and my continued commitment to social work."

On this topic
Configuring Digital Receptionist / Auto Attendant
Creating a Digital Receptionist
Allowing Callers to Dial a Known Extension Directly
Exchange Server IVR Integration
The digital receptionist feature allows 3CX Phone System to answer phone calls automatically. When a call comes in to the phone system the caller is presented with a list of options. The caller can then choose the appropriate option using the numbers on their phone keypad. Using this feature you can implement a menu.
For example, "For sales press 1. For support press 2 or wait on the line to be transferred to the operator". A digital receptionist is also known as an auto attendant.
You can configure many different digital receptionists each with their own extension number. Depending on your preferences you may configure these to answer calls based on which line the call comes in from, as well on whether the call is received inside or outside office hours. For example, you can have a different prompt for outside office hours that does not include the options to be transferred to groups/queues that do not have agents available to take calls.
Recording a Menu Prompt
Before you create your digital receptionist, you must first write down the menu options you wish to offer the caller and then record the announcement. A simple example would be, "Welcome to Company XYZ, For sales press 1. For support press 2 or stay on the line for an operator"
Note: It is generally recommended to put the number the user should press after the option, i.e. "For sales, press 1", rather than "press 1 for sales". This is because the user will wait for the desired option and only then "register" what number to press.
Creating a Digital Receptionist
You can create multiple digital receptionists and link them to a particular line. To create a digital receptionist:
- In the 3CX Management Console menu, select "Digital Receptionist" > "Add Digital Receptionist".
- Specify a name and virtual extension number for the digital receptionist.
- Now click on the "Record" button and enter your extension number.
- You will be called so that you can record the prompt. The file will be copied into the %allusersprofile%\3CX\Data\Ivr\Prompts or C:\ProgramData\3CX\Data\Ivr\Prompts directory depending on your OS.
- Alternatively click on the browse button and specify a file that you previously recorded. You must save the file in WAV format in PCM, 8 kHz, 16 bit, Mono format. (In Windows Sound Recorder you must use the "Save As" option to save this format) Do not use MP3 format.
- Specify the menu options. Select the appropriate key, and then select from the available actions. Then specify the extension number or virtual extension number (virtual extension number in the case of Ring Group, Call Queue or to another Digital receptionist)
- The last option, Timeout, allows you to specify how long the system should wait for an input. If it receives no input, it will automatically perform this action. This is handy for callers who did not understand the menu or who do not have a DTMF capable phone. When ready, click "OK" to save the digital receptionist.
Allowing Callers to Dial a Known Extension Directly
Whilst a digital receptionist prompt is playing, a caller can enter the extension number directly to be connected to an extension immediately. This allows callers who know their party's extension to avoid going through a receptionist. This option is enabled by default. If you wish to make use of this feature simply instruct your callers by explaining this in the voice prompt.
For example, "Welcome to Company XYZ. If you know your party's extension number, you may enter it now, otherwise, for sales press 1. For support press 2".
Call by Name
Using a Digital Receptionist, you can also direct callers to the call by name function. This allows them to find the person they wish to speak to by entering the first letters of the person's last name on the phone dial pad. The call by name function requires:
- A self-identification message for the user. Users without a self-identification message are not accessible via the call-by-name feature.
- Users can not have a last name with Unicode characters.
- The Call-by-name menu feature must be made available from a Digital Receptionist as one of the menu options.
Self-Identification Message
To record your self-identification message:
- Go to your voicemail menu (Default 999).
- Enter your voicemail PIN number.
- Go to the options menu ('9' key).
- Press '5' key to record the self ID message.
- Record your name only, i.e. "Sarah Jones".
How it Works
The Call-by-name feature uses the last name of the user and compares it with the input (that has been entered on the phone keypad). The following rules are used:
- The last name is converted to uppercase.
- All symbols except [2-9] and [A-Z] are ignored.
- The following translations for symbols are used:
The caller has to type a minimum of three digits ('0' – '9') to call to a user. Digits '0' and '1' are ignored, but can be used to call users with short last names (for example, to access someone with the last name 'Li', you can type '540').
After the user has entered three digits, IVR queries the phone system database for matching users. If there are no matching users, you hear "extension not found". If there is only one matching user, the IVR plays "Please hold while I transfer your call" and redirects the call to the chosen extension. If there are more than one matching user, the IVR will wait for additional digits to be entered by the caller, for 2 seconds.
- If IVR waits for additional digits (more than one matching user) and caller presses any digit, the IVR will add this digit to the current input and check currently matching users. If there are no matching users, the IVR will play "extension not found".
- If the user does not input any more digits (2 seconds elapsed or '#' has been pressed) and more than one user is matched, then the IVR will play: "To call Van Damme press 0. To call Van Halen press 1. To exit press pound, (#)". In this example 'Van Damme' and 'Van Halen' are the self-identification prompts of the matching users.
Exchange Server IVR Integration
Note: Requires 3CX Pro Edition License.
Exchange Server 2013 SP1 includes a voicemail and an IVR feature that can be interesting to use for companies that deploy Microsoft Exchange Server. The Exchange IVR feature allows you to leverage speech recognition in your company's IVR. The voicemail feature allows you to convert voicemails to text and forward them via email.
More information on Configuring MS Exchange Server 2013 Unified Messaging with 3CX Phone System is available on this page.

The Day I Met The Sun
Ever wondered what would happen if light met something that that been in the dark for as long as is memorable? The Boy has survived in the blackness of the Cave, but when People come to the Cave, the Boy must adapt to a new life in the sun above his head.
The Day I went To The Sun
When all you see is darkness for about 17 years, your eyes adjust to the grim blackness of your surroundings. The pitch dark becomes grey, and everything becomes a monotone blur of drabness. An occasional torch in the moonlight soon becomes suffused by the angry mutterings and whispers of the Lost people, shuffling around the ebon caverns. All you see is...well, nothing. All you hear are shufflings and mutterings, and all you feel is the cold.
Why am I down there? My father was...well...I don't need to go into that at the moment. Let's just say, he did a few things. None of which were good. But hey, back to me. I've been told that there's a world above this cave, away from the damp stench of the rot, and the darkness and the food down here (Try eating just mushroom and mulch rat for your whole life....not much you can do with that, believe me!). But noone comes from the outside any more. Noone.
Until that one day. I was sat in my Area, the space that each person gets given, to sleep and grumble in, when I heard something. Down here the sound echos like CRAZY, so a single tap sounds like what I've heard cannonfire sounds like! So in three taps, the area was completely in chaos. People don't care about each other down here , so children'ws screams were ignored as the adults fought for an exit in the darkness. Then a cataclysmic explosion rocked the cave, and the resulting shockwave was by far the ludest sound I've ever heard. The strain on my eardrums was too much, and the last thing I remember was a series of bangs as the adults started falling.
I came to, the pain in my head throbbing as I drifted in and out of conciousness. Trying to sit up after smacking your head hard on solid ground? Not too fun, so I led on the floor. It shows how far gone I was when I finally realised I could SEE the floor! Light? In the caves? I'd never seen something like that before, ever?? I finally managed to stand up, and shuffled over to the gaping hole in the rocky wall of the caves. Through the blood, and the humming of the air around me, I managed to see the slope curving above me, lined with bodies, towards a swimming whiteness in the distance. The light completely overtook my conciousness, and I walked forward, like I'd been hypnotised by the milky-white shimmering before me. I walked around the corner, and into the white light of the opening in the cave, charred black in the chaos. I walked forward, blinded by the light, into the sun.

Fort Hood … Charleston … Colorado Springs … San Bernardino … Columbus … Orlando … Dallas.
The tragic massacres in these cities and their aftermaths of aching grief will forever haunt our memories.
For those reasons and many more, we must accept the very real likelihood that the United States will face more active shooters, more acts of terrorism and more acts of senseless violence.
To prepare, we must all take our thinking to a new level when it comes to personal security. And we must do it as quickly as possible.
We need to develop models of personal security and strategic countermeasures to help protect our families as well as we can from future attacks.
These models must contain two elements.
- They must provide a step-by-step plan to respond to threats, including contingency plans so your family can adapt to any crisis to minimize the threat risk.
- They must be applicable to the types of threats that are possible, including conventional and unconventional methods of attack.
We now understand more than ever that our enemies will go to any extremes to accomplish their objectives. Isn't it time for us to learn how to think like them?
By learning how to outthink them, by training smarter than they train, by being more vigilant, and by watching out for each other, we can reduce the risk to our families, friends and community.
Let's start right now by learning to think like the enemy.
In any conflict, information is the first and foremost priority. The enemy will go to great lengths to collect all the information they can on a target.
They will perform surveillance on the target whether it is an inanimate object, such as a building or bridge, or whether it is a person or a group of people.
|Your enemy will study all security measures, including surveillance cameras to help them gather information.
Your enemy will want intelligence on anything that helps them discern patterns. If they can establish a pattern of activity for a building or for a single person, then their target becomes predictable.
And if you're predictable, you are a "soft" target … an easy mark.
Surveillance of a target includes taking photographs and videos, making notes, sketching illustrations, and drawing maps of a structure. For a building, they will study the people who work there and the people who visit. The enemy wants to find people who can be blackmailed or bribed to help them.
When gathering data on a person, the enemy will apply all the same techniques and principles to learn the person's habits and daily activities. The adversary will also seek out information on the target's family, friends, employees and work associates.
An investment service unlike any you've ever seen …
It's your complete self-defense system — designed to help you protect every dollar you've scrimped to save and risked to grow. It's your income compass — pointing you towards the investments with the potential to double or even triple your yields reliably, year after year. It's your financial weather vane — constantly scanning the markets to identify which specific investments you should still avoid, which ones have finally hit bottom and which ones are most likely to grow your nest egg by leaps and bounds. Click here for more information! -Mike Larson
|Internal Sponsorship
When the target has a family, the children will be the prime focus of intelligence gathering. Gathering information on children is typically easier because they have highly specific routines, such as going to school on a regular schedule.
So it's easy for the adversaries to make detailed notes about security measures at their school. The enemy will assess things like perimeter fencing, perimeter access control, building access control, physical deterrents, and alarm systems.
After the enemy selects a target, they will study and practice traveling every route to and from the target. And they will cover these routes in all appropriate types of transportation, from cars to buses to bicycles. If it's not a suicide operation, they will plan and drill on using numerous escape routes.
The adversaries will study communication systems so they can either use them to their fullest benefit or so they can neutralize them to disrupt our lives or to foil law enforcement.
The adversaries may even spend lots of time studying the skills they need to execute complex plans. Past examples of this include learning how to fly an airplane and learning how to drive large commercial vehicles.
Or they may study engineering or architecture at a university. But their scholarship only cloaks their real intentions, such as learning to read schematics to assess weaknesses in a bridge or building.
They can, and do, enter and reconnoiter restricted areas. They find ways in by studying access-control points, the entrances and the exits, and the people who work in the area, especially the people who control the access points.
The enemy will usually study weapons, even if they learn just enough to accomplish a single task, like detonate a bomb or fire a semi-automatic rifle. On a grander scale, they will study the physical and psychological impact of various weapons so they use them as effectively as possible.
In many instances they create and develop their own weapons. They may employ scientists, doctors, specialized engineers and other professionals in their pursuit of terror.
They may also purchase various weapons of mass destruction — biological, chemical or nuclear — from the black market or from government or private sponsors. And they are highly skilled at developing such connections.
They will carefully gather information on any tactical countermeasures, such as the reaction time of SWAT teams and bomb squads. They are familiar with how police and EMS respond to terrorist attacks. And they have proven that they can use this information to their benefit.
Next, the enemy will vigilantly study any and all physical and electronic security measures and countermeasures that exist both inside and outside the target. They will also survey guard houses, perimeter fencing, and surveillance cameras. They will analyze how they can bypass the security measures as well as how they can hack them to use them against the target. They also study building materials to find weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Even with all that has happened to us as a society, most Americans are still complacent when it comes to their personal security and safety. If we are going to defeat this enemy, we need to change our mindset.
We are dealing with an enemy who is unpredictable, cunning and has no regard for human life. Even worse, these villains are often completely unknown to us — until they strike.
Starting now, I want you to review all of your vulnerabilities and weaknesses. And I strongly recommend that you consider training and education to help you gain a tactical advantage over these deadly enemies before they strike again.
Until next time, stay alert, check your six, put your back against the wall and stay safe!

Our customer reviews for ibis Basel Bahnhof
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
Great hotel, very convinant for the rail station and tram network. Free city mobility ticket was helpful. Room was clean, free wi-fi. Very Helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast and bar food was excellent.
Easy to find, air conditioning worked, bed was comfy, everything was clean. Electrical adapters were leant by reception when ours didn't fit. Continental breakfast well presented and filling. Make sure you check directions, so you don't end up at the wrong Ibis, as some fellow guests did. A short walk from the railway station - ideal. No kettle in the room, but can't have everything.
We were in Basel for a wedding at the St Margarethen church and it was a very good stay overall - excellent location and parking facilities and very friendly and accommodating staff. I would recommend this hotel to friends.
Five minutes walk from back of station. Some tram rumbling noise at night. Breakfast at £12 - so we ate at the station for half that price. Most useful was the free Basel Mobility card for city transport - all hotels provide this.
Dear Mike, thank you very much for your review. Concerning our breakfast offer, we try to provide a wide selection of products going from a large choice of breads and pastries to scrambled eggs and fruit salad as well as some swiss cheese and bircher muesli, to name a few... The feedback that we receive from our guests is generally very positive with regards to value for price paid. I'll hope you will give it a try at your next visit! See you soon again in Basel!
Beds were comfortable, location was awesome, room was very clean, and friendly staff! Would definitely stay there again if we go back... We didn't eat breakfast there so I can't give any comment on that.

Bom quarto, boa casa de banho, pequeno-almoço fraco. Muito bem situado e confortável. Recomendo
Grande acomodação. Ver o meu comentário antes!
Great accommodation. See my comment before!
Eu era um tempo longo neste quarto. Foi um grande momento e eu realmente gostei. A cozinha é limpo e grande o suficiente para desfrutar da noite com alguns amigos. Um aspirador está nesta casa toda semana e uma vez por semana você começa uma nova toalha e roupa de cama. O problema é que ele é muito barulhento nesta casa espescially na sala 5, porque o banheiro está muito próximo. Tampões são uma boa idéia. A localização é perfeita.
Para resumir este alojamento é bom para uma viagem de longa duração e excelente para festas curto prazo.
I was a Long time in this room. It was a great time and i really enjoyed it. The kitchen is clean and big enough to enjoy the evening with some friends. A cleaner is in this house every week and once a week you get one new towel and bed-linen. The Problem is that it´s very noisy in this house espescially in room 5, because the bathroom is very close. Earplugs are a good idea. The location is perfect.
To sum up this accommodation is okay for a long term travel and excellent for short term Holidays.
Eu e minha esposa adoramos a acomodação, tudo muito limpo, bem organizado e de fácil acesso aos pontos turistícos! Espero voltar outras vezes...
simply but well-situated apartment in Bethnal Green. The shower was a litte bit confusing, because I don't know how to use (there were several buttons to press). But I would recommend this apartment.
Thanks and I will come back :)
It was my brother who actually stayed at the apartment. He was well pleased with the services rendered. I will like to also add that the pre- arrival information is quite impressive, it contains all the details need to locate the accommodation. Will definitely recommend to a friend.
Nice room, central location.
Room was dirty and we had to share one towel because the other one was dirty! House was cold and the water was playing up. Would not really recommend this room, even for he price. Life is worth more!

text: The Year in ReviewThe Year's Craziest State: Florida, Of Course (Photos)12.26.12The Year in ReviewThe Year's Craziest State: Florida, Of Course (Photos)From face eating to roach choking to voter purges, Florida delivered this year on the outrageous and the tragic. Here's a look back at the Sunshine State's most shocking moments of 2012.12.26.12 9:45 AM ETGetty; AP; Monroe County SheriffâÂÂs Sgt. Evan Calhoun; Pinellas County Sheriff's OfficeFlorida seemed to be the epicenter of all things genuinely tragic and downright weird in 2012. The state made constant headlines for everything from the outrage over Trayvon Martin's murder to the bafflement over a local who died after a roach-eating contest. There were shark attacks and snake warnings in airports, beached whales, and even more from Casey Anthony. Here's a rundown of the always-bizarre Sunshine State's strangest year yet. Mario Tama/Getty; Pool photo by Gary W. Green; Martin Family Photos/APThe Murder of Trayvon Martin Tragically, the murder of Trayvon Martin was Florida's most controversial source of attention this year. After neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman allegedly shot and killed Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, outrage quickly spread from Jacksonville to the rest of the globe. Martin was found dead near his home in Sanford, wearing a hoodie and carrying only a pack of Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea on his way home from a convenience store. Within a month of Martin's death on Feb. 26, thousands of protesters were marching in cities and towns across the country, demanding justice for Martin. The murder also drew intense scrutiny to the state's Stand Your Ground law, which allows anyone to use force when defending themselves. Zimmerman's trial date is set for June. APThe Miami Face-Eating Attack Bad horror movie or just another day in South Florida? On May 26, Rudy Eugene, a Miami resident, started gnawing at Ronald Poppo's face, taking out one of Poppo's eyes, both his eyebrows, nose, right cheek, and parts of his forehead. Eugene, who was naked, apparently accused Poppo, who is homeless, of stealing his Bible, beat Poppo unconscious, and started eating his face. Eugene was shot and killed by a local police officer, so the cause of the attack remains unknown. In a later police interview, Poppo said of Eugene, "he ripped me to ribbons." J Pat Carter/APEven More Voting InsanityFlorida was—yet again—the epicenter of all things broken in America's voting system. First came the controversy over the state's so-called voter purges led by Gov. Rick Scott, in which alleged noncitizen voters were removed from the voter rolls. After a series of lawsuits, thousands of these voters were restored in September, although Scott produced a smaller—but still disputed—list of noneligible voters later that month. Pinellas County Sheriff's OfficeManatee-Riding In November, a St. Petersburg resident was seen riding a manatee in the ocean, a bizarre violation of the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act. A concerned citizen snapped a photo of Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez as she rode through the waters in Pinellas County. Gutierrez was arrested at a local Sears where she worked but claimed she didn't realize it was against the law to touch or harass manatees. She faces a $500 fine or up to 60 days in jail. Monroe County SheriffÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Sgt. Evan CalhounSnakes Take OverThere's never a dull moment in Key West: a 10-foot snake was found hanging out at the Key West Airport in October. Monroe County police officers made sure to snap a picture with the gigantic snake before removing it from the airport's premises. But Key West isn't the only part of the Sunshine State with a snake problem: growing python populations in Florida's Everglades have decimated native populations of raccoons, rabbits, bobcats, and other mammals. The pythons, which have been found to weigh upwards of 160 pounds, even eat alligators. Mark Wilson/GettyGov. Rick Scott Gives Out Phone Sex Number He was just trying to help! Gov. Rick Scott provided a hotline number for Floridians concerned about a deadly meningitis outbreak, but the number was off by a single digit and instead directed callers to a phone sex line. "Hello boys," the automated message said when Floridians called in, expecting information about meningitis, "thank you for calling me on my birthday." The correct number for the Florida Fungal Meningitis Hotline was quickly updated. Pool photo by Red HuberThe Return of Casey Anthony The Florida case that had the whole world fascinated officially ended in 2011, but evidence continued to make headlines a full year after Casey Anthony was acquitted. The Orange County sheriff's office released Google searches found on Anthony's computer for suffocation methods (misspelled as "suffication"). The searches were done on the last day that Caylee Anthony was seen alive. Anthony's attorney Jose Baez admitted he was "shocked" that the prosecution didn't present the searches as evidence. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton said, "it's just a shame we didn't have it." Kevin Dyer/GettyMan Dies After Winning Roach-Eating ContestEdward Archbold of West Palm Beach dropped dead shortly after winning a roach-eating contest hosted by a reptile store. He was one of 30 contestants competing for the grand prize of a python. A recent autopsy found that Archold died from choking on bug body parts. Somehow, the other contestants fared just fine. "We feel terribly awful," said Ben Siegel, the owner of the store, after Archbold died. Amy Scherzer/Tampa Bay Times/ZUMAPRESS.com, via Corbis Petraeus Scandal Erupts Out of TampaIt's no surprise that one of the year's most shocking national stories has its roots in Florida. The scandal began to unfold at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, where socialite Jill Kelley apparently met Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, sparking the scandal that would unseat the head of the C.I.A. The base has been described as a social climbers' paradise, with nightly parties, and the surrounding neighborhood is jokingly called "Wisteria Lane," after the street on Desperate Housewives. Kelley was banned from the base after the scandal broke. Jacksonville Sheriff's Office/APJordan Davis: Another Trayvon?After unarmed black 17-year-old Jordan Davis was allegedly shot and killed by a 45-year-old white software developer in Jacksonville, comparisons to the Trayvon Martin case started flying. The alleged shooter, Michael Dunn, and Davis got into an argument at a gas station about the loud music Davis was playing in his car. According to witnesses, Dunn took out a gun and fired eight or nine shots, hitting Davis twice. Dunn's attorney said her client was acting in self-defense, clearing the path for another debate about Stand Your Ground, and perhaps more international outrage. Bob Self/The Florida Times-Union, via APCristian Fernandez: The Alleged Preteen MurdererFlorida's laws were back under the microscope as the case of Cristian Fernandez, who was arrested at age 12 for allegedly killing his 2-year-old half-brother, began to get national and international attention. Fernandez, who was a sixth grader at a local Jacksonville middle school, has been in a juvenile detention center since March 2011, accused of killing his half-brother, David, by slamming him into a bookshelf. Prosecutor Angela Corey, who is also lead prosecutor on the George Zimmerman case, decided to try Fernandez, who is now 13, as an adult, meaning he faces life in prison if convicted. Fernandez allegedly called his mother, Bianela Susana, after realizing his half-brother, David, was unconscious. Susana spent several hours searching the Internet for information on concussions and unconsciousness before taking David to the hospital, where he died. Fernandez has a growing online support network calling for his release from jail, but a murder trial is set for March.

Fritz & Zooey #10
Zooey took her time in the market down the street, tyring to find the perfect wine because Zooey was the wine connosieur of the apartment. She chose a bottle of merlot made somewhere in the depths of Canada and hurried back to the apartment.
When she got to the door, she could hear music playing behind it in the apartment. Fumbling for her keys and balancing the bottle of wine, Zooey tried opening the door. She walked slowly down the hall and stopped short in the the living room, her mouth gaping wide open at the scene before her.
Nasa and Fritz were making out on the sofa, clearly unaware of Zooey's prescence. Mr. Williamson leaped onto Fritz's back, clawing and sputtering wildly. It was only then when they realized Zooey was in the room. Zooey dropped the bottle of wine onto the floor, but it didn't break, it just rolled towards the sofa slowly.
Mr. Williamson ran to Zooey meowing madly. She scooped him up and turned to walk out the door as Fritz and Nasa stammered excuses her way.
Zooey held tight to Mr.Williamson who clawed madly in her arms, ready to break free. She left the apartment building and walked slowly down the street, too shocked to think. Mr. Williamson soon became agreeable after he sensed there was something wrong with Zooey. He looked up to her with sympathetic eyes, which Zooey knew wouldn't last very long.
She blindly boarded a bus, not bothering to look where it was headed to. She had the odd feeling of being watched and followed, something she was always keen to. She paid no mind to it and sat far in the back, cuddling the kitten and absently looking out the window at the city blur.
She got off the bus, near Chinatown, somewhere she usually avoided due to tourists and casually strolled, trying to put her mind at ease. From time to time, Zooey would catch a glimpse of bright red out of the corner of her eye, but when she looked, she knew she was just imagining it.
She put Mr. Williamson in her tote bag, and he stuck his head and paws out, looking around.
Too confused to make any logical decisions or actions, Zooey blindly made her way into a reasonably crowded coffee shop, sitting far in the dimly lit back at a small table for two. She absently stroked the cat and called a waitress for a cup of coffee.
She didn't know what to do. Zooey hadn't even digested the whole scene she had just witnessed, but the shock of the matter hung limply over her like a drooping cloud.
She knew she was doomed when it came to ever even considering a relationship with anyone.
Zooey gave in to her grief and put her head down on the table, trying not to fog it up with her heavy breathing.
The other chair at her table made a screeching sound against the floor, as if someone was moving it. She didn't look up, but she glanced down underneath the table and was met with the sight of two well polished black dress shoes connected to legs wearing bright red trousers.
Red pants? Zooey thought shocked for a moment.
She lifted her head slowly.
His face was shadowed by the wide brim of his hat that made him appear like a seedy journalist from the fifties.
"Hello, Zooey," he said. The monotone hum of his voice made her quickly think of the computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Any minute now he would be calling me Dave, she thought.
Zooey opened her mouth, but nothing came out but a small, silent gasp.
"I believe you're wearing my shirt," he said, pointing a long, feminine hand towards her. His nails were painted with chipped red nail polish.
I'm being stalked by a transexual? Zooey thought curiously. She peered down, and in fact, she was wearing the David Bowie shirt Miyoko had left. Zooey returned her gaze to meet with the shadowy stranger.
"Who are you?" She asked, trying to squint to clearly see his face.
"My name," he said taking off his hat in a dignified manner, "Is Reid Thurston."
Zooey nervously looked around, and returned her gaze to the mysterious stranger. Reid had a pallid complexion, cheekbones sucked in forming little anorexic puckers in his face. His eyes were large, doll-like, sagging in the corners making the brown tint of his eyes look sad.
Zooey squinted, he looks attractive if he doesn't smile, she thought.
Reid's lips curled up menacingly into a smile. Zooey frowned.
"Listen," he said leaning forward on one elbow towards her, "You knew it was going to happen didn't you?"
"Know what?" Zooey asked.
Reid laughed a little before answering, "That Fritz and Nasa would get together. Come on, you know better than that."
Zooey edged back in her seat, afraid.
"How did…." She stammered.
Reid narrowed his gaze, "Let's just say I've harmlessly been observing."
Zooey was speechless.
"Why?" She demanded.
"Maybe its the wine talking, or my delirious lonliness, but…" he trailed off.
"I've been writing a character based on you."
Zooey remained speechless. She was quick to draw back, instinctively telling herself this man was indeed insane and that she should run, far as to avoid some sort of Silence of the Lambs incident. Yet, something, her curiosity perhaps, kept her drawn to him, focused and determined to find out not only his story, but his odd obsession with her.
Reid tipped his hat back down over his eyes, and then back up again, as if it didn't exactly fit and he had to find some painless way to wear the hat so that he could avoid some sort of hat-related aneurism. He watched Zooey with a smirk on his face, waiting for her avid, shocked response, but she suprised him as she leaned back and crossed her arms and intently stared back, challenging.
"You know," she said, "One of your eyes is bigger than the other, kind of like Mick Jones."
"Thanks," he said sarcastically, "You had to compare me to the least attractive member of a band that I'm not really fond of. You know, Joe Strummer's eyes didn't match either…"
They were silent for a moment, before Zooey took a dramatic sigh which indicated she was going to assert conversation.
"So," she said toying with the fringe on her scarf, "You seem to know so much about me, what's your story?"
"Like my autobiography? What?" He questioned with a hint of dry sarcasm.
"I mean, what are you doing going around following people? Do you have a job? A pet you take care of? Are you living in a dumpster bin? That kind of story." Zooey explained.
"I'd hardly call those story topics," he grinned.
"Well…" Zooey prodded.
"Fine," he started, leaning forward towards her as all mysterious storytellers do, "I like to observe, that's why I follow people. It's not like I have a hit-list tucked in my shirt pocket. I find people dull, morbid, and disgusting. But once in awhile you find people that are inspiring and comical, much like yourself…"
"Inspiring and comical?" Zooey said with a quizical and disturbed expression, "I'm in a black comedy?"
"I wouldn't exactly call it King Lear," Reid said leaning a bit closer. Zooey absently petted the kitten with a bored expression.
"I feel like this is going nowhere," she said blankly.
"What?" Reid asked politely.
"This conversation," Zooey said annoyed, "sitting here listening to you put off all the why questions."
"Then let's go somewhere else and put off all the why questions," he said with a smirk.
"Very funny," Zooey said glumly.
"Look, Zooey, I know you're still upset, but there are much better things in the world than your flambouyant roomate and how he spends his afternoons," Reid said passionately.
"God, you're right. Insane, but right nonetheless. Argh. I feel like a real idiot. Maybe I should just give up this silly little fantasy life I'm living in. Or maybe, just maybe I'm only a figmentation of your overactive imagination. That's right!" Zooey ranted and a wild look had cast over her eyes.
Zooey had finally cracked.
