Walmex used bribes to open 19 Mexico stores: NY Times
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc's (WMT.N: Quote) Mexican affiliate routinely used bribes to open stores in desirable locations, according to a New York Times investigation published Monday, which cites 19 instances of the retail giant paying off local officials.
The Times first reported in April that Wal-Mart had intentionally stifled an internal probe into bribery at its Mexican affiliate Walmex WALMEXV.MX. Late last month, Mexico's anti-corruption body said it found no irregularities in the permits Wal-Mart received in the country, but that two audits remain underway.
In the new report published on its web site, the Times detailed specific instances in which Walmex allegedly paid off officials to expand in Mexico. The alleged payoffs often related to zoning laws and environmental permits that would have otherwise prevented Walmex's opening of new stores.
Much of the report focused on a store built near ancient ruins in Teotihuacan, north of Mexico City. Walmex was hit by protests in 2004 after announcing plans to build a warehouse less than a mile from the city.
In a statement Monday night, Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said the company was already looking into the allegations in the Times article regarding the permitting and licensing process for the Teotihuacan store, as part of a broader internal probe that Wal-Mart began over a year ago into potential violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
"At this point, the investigation is still ongoing and we have not yet reached final conclusions," he said, adding that the company has taken steps to improve its compliance programs.
Wal-Mart is also cooperating with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the matter, Tovar said.
The U.S. Justice Department, the SEC, U.S. lawmakers and authorities in Mexico have all been conducting their own probes.
An official at Mexico's federal attorney general's office told Reuters that an initial probe had been opened following the Times' April story, but that prosecutors did not uncover sufficient evidence to file any charges. Continued...

SHILOH, Ohio (AP) -- A tree-eating beetle has destroyed hundreds of ash trees in a northern Ohio nature preserve, state officials say.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has cut down some of the ash trees infested with the emerald ash borer in the Fowler Woods State Nature Preserve. But officials decided to let many dead or dying trees in the preserve east of Shiloh in Richland County fall down naturally, the Mansfield News Journal (http://ohne.ws/1nxQVte) reported.
"Cutting down all those towering trees could change the feel of the area," said Eileen Corson, a spokeswoman for the state department.
The ash borer devastation already has changed the look of the preserve. Many ash trees have been cut down, leaving the woods littered with scattered segments of ash trunk. That, in turn, has opened new areas of the typically shaded forest to sunlight.
The department also has closed most of a popular 1.2-mile trail in the preserve to prevent safety hazards from falling tree trunks and limbs and says the disruptions could continue at the 168-acre preserve for years.
But Corson said forestry officials aren't concerned about the emerald ash borer spreading further in the preserve or onto adjacent property.
"It's already moved through that area and is now in Columbus," she said.
The beetle that arrived in Ohio 10 years ago -- a year after appearing in southeastern Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario -- has a limited diet. It eats the inner bark of ash trees, but doesn't finish until the tree is dead.
The white ash, the best-known ash species in Ohio, can grow to 80 feet high and normally had a lifespan of 260 years. But foresters don't expect the trees to survive Ohio's ash borer infestation.
Fowler Woods, which became one of the first nature preserves in Ohio in 1971, is home to 58 tree and shrub species and 212 different kinds of ferns and wildflowers.

Peter Pack Rat is a 1985 platform game developed and released by Atari Games for the Atari System 1 arcade hardware. The game was programmed by Peter Thompson, with graphics by Debbie Hayes and music by Brad Fuller. The game was only produced in small quantities, either as a standalone cabinet or as an upgrade kit to existing ones[3] (Atari part no. 136028).[4] It was ported to the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum home computers in 1989 by Software Creations and released by Silverbird Software, with the Commodore 64 version featuring arranged music by Tim Follin.
Peter Pack Rat is a platforming game where the player controls Peter, a pack rat, who must gather objects such as bottles, cans, or wrenches and take them back to the starting point to complete each level. The game features three unique stages that repeat in a fixed cycle - a junkyard, a sewer, and a large tree - with the layout, number of enemies, and number of required objects changing each time. A group of enemies known as "The Gang" serve as the main obstacles, and include Riff Rat and the Rats of Flatbush, Clawd the cat, Scrapper the bulldog, Sticky the spider, Slugger the bat, Big Al the alligator, Diamond Jim the snake, and Nite Owl. Peter can collection additional items that can be used as projectiles and stun enemies for a brief moment, also allowing him the ability to ride some of them about the stage. Points are awarded based on the amount of time remaining when all items are collected, and the number of enemies stunned.[5]
The game features four difficulty levels that can be selected before gameplay - Easy, Medium, Hard, and Good Luck - that change the starting level. Jeff Peters holds the official high score with 910,875 points achieved at the Camelot Arcade in Anaheim, California on March 20, 1986.[6]
Peter Pack Rat was developed by the North American Atari Games Corp., and was designed and programmed by Peter Thompson with graphics and animations by Debbie Hayes (who previously worked as an animator on Watership Down, American Pop and Fire and Ice). Despite there being a 1984 copyright imprint in the game itself, an official copyright claim was not filed for the title until 1985,[7] with the game's release being in July of that year.[1] It was developed for the Atari System 1 upgradable arcade hardware,[1] and uses the same audio and coding processing subroutines as Marble Madness, also released for the platform.[7] The game was field tested at Merlin's Castle arcade in San Jose, California for bug-checking and refinements before its widespread release.[8] Home versions for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC were developed by Software Creations and released in early 1989. An additional port for the Japanese PC Engine was also planned, even appearing in a May 1992 issue of PC Engine Fan magazine, but was eventually cancelled.[9]
Brad Fuller composed the music for the original arcade version, which used a main 6502A sound processor and secondary YM2151 processor for FM stereo.[2] Music from the arcade release was included on the That's Atari Music -G.S.M. Atari Games 1- compilation album originally released in July 1991.[10] While the first print of the album by Pony Canyon only included the three primary stage themes and a sound effect track, the second release in December 2003 by Scitron provided separate tracks for all of the game's individual jingles and short loops.[11] Tim Follin of Software Creations provided theme arrangements for the Commodore 64 version, with the title theme appearing on the Best of Tim Follin album released in July 2007.[12]

Couple Arrested After Putting 5-Year-Old In Oven
A Tennessee couple is charged with aggravated child abuse after police discovered they were putting their five-year-old son in the oven as a form of punishement.
The child was being raised by known sex offender Lavelldo Washington and the boy's mother Corneisha Wilkerson along with three other children.
Though the couple explained the oven was turned off when they would place the child inside it, the risk of the oven somehow turning on posed a serious threat to the boy.
Wilkerson, 23, was jailed on $50,000 bond each after a grand jury indictment this week. Washington, who is a registered sex offender and has been arrested 29 times, was held on the same bond.
The couple's three other children have been placed in care.

The animal on the cover of iOS 5 ProgrammingCookbook is a marbled cat (Pardofelismarmorata), an elusive animal that lives in the dense forests ofSouth and Southeast Asia. What little is known about these cats has mostlybeen gleaned from observing individuals in captivity, as sightings in thewild are rare. Indeed, the cats are usually only caught on film bymotion-sensor camera traps. The total population is estimated to be lessthan 10,000 adults, and the species is endangered by deforestation. The marbled cat is similar in size and weight to a domestic cat,averaging 5-11 pounds and 18-24 inches long. However, it shares manycharacteristics with the larger clouded leopards that live in the sameregion, like oversize paws, long canine teeth, and a mottled yellow-graycoat with dark spots and bars. However, the markings on the leopard's furare much more defined; the marbled cat is actually named for the blurredmarkings of its coat, which resemble the patterns of a marble. In the natural posture of the marbled cat, the back is slightlyarched. It also has long hind legs and a long bushy tail (nearly the lengthof its body), used as a counterweight for climbing trees. This has ledbiologists to believe the cats are primarily arboreal. It is likely thatforest canopies provide the cats with prey like birds, squirrels, rats, andreptiles. In May 2000, a wild marbled cat was radio-tagged for the firsttime, and was found to be primarily active at dusk and night, living at anelevation of 3300-3900 feet. The cover image is from Wood's Animate Creation.

Comments about oreilly iOS 5 Programming Cookbook:
I felt the need to leave a review on this book as it has helped me tremendously in my work, not only at home but also at my company. Written in such an easy-to-understand way, has restored my faith in computer books really. I highly recommend it

I simply like the style
By mko

Some time ago I have reviewed iOS 4 Programming Cookbook. When this one appeared I was simply curious how does new face of "iOS Cooking" looks like. And I am pretty amazed.First of all, parts of the book were redesigned. Big plus here. First chapter was redesigned such way it now gently introduces into XCode and Objective-C development. In iOS 5 Cookbook, you basically start with very simple examples and move towards more complicated stuff. Nevertheless, I still suggest buying book dedicated strictly to Objective-C in case you haven't used this language before.The same refers to Networking related chapter. It was really improved. In this edition, titles of chapters give you detailed overview of what you can expect in networking related sections of the book.Operations and threads from "iOS 4 Cook Book" as well as the content of "Concurrent Programming in Mac OS X and iOS" book are now packed into single chapter: "Concurrency". If you have bought "Concurrent Programming in Mac OS X and iOS" you will find this material duplicated. However, in case of people who will start with iOS 5 Programming Cookbook, this is a plus, as you have everything in one place.I enjoyed the style of the book before, and I enjoy it now. However, there are few things you will miss. First of all, when it comes to CoreData related topics, you will miss recipes for model versioning. And this topic is a must. Especially in a cookbook. Sooner or later, your data model will evolve and you will face it. Another thing you will probably miss are Instruments. If you came to place were the efficiency plays a role, you wont' find help here. These are the only reasons I am giving here 4 stars instead of 5.I would suggest to a friend. Definitely.

Not quite what is needed for a cookbook
By AlienGoatee
from Portsmouth, NH
About Me Designer, Developer
The cookbook idea for development is a good idea. Define a simple relatable problem and show how to solve it. Basically, here are the steps and a simple set of sample source that solves the problem. The Ios4 book for did this very well.Unfortunately, the version for ios5 is not a complete cookbook in the way that it needs to be. The problems are not always fully resolved to a usable level. An example is the section on the UIPageViewController. It begins to give a resolution to the defined problem by describing the protocol, and then it stops. The text even states that it assumes the reader is already familiar with what to do.This is not as much a cookbook as a light reference book.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a life-saver. As I've said in my review of Matt Neuburg's book, it is a great idea to have multiple books to tackle any single subject. Nahavandipoor's Cookbook is one of the two which I use most often (along with Neuburg's). Do not work in Xcode without it.The best way of using this book is as follows: begin with a tutorial book/guide, just to get you started (especially for Xcode); then this cookbook will help you ramp up faster by answering the questions which inevitably arise. It quickly shows sample code, in easy to digest, relevant, usable snippets, and explains them thoroughly. Excellent organization and break-down into a very useful table of contents; it has saved a lot of time for me.While there are lots of tutorial and theory books out there, Neuburg's and Nahavandipoor's fill gaps which no-one else does, or does so well.Again: I would not start with only this book; it's best to have a novice guide next to it.The book covers everything from beginner to very advanced stuff.

Jason Butkowski is a father of young twins who were born at 28 weeks old. After his wife took paid family leave to care for their children who were hospitalized for 69 days in the Neonatal Intesive Care Unit, and after he took all of his vacation and sick time, Jason took paid family leave to care for the twins after his wife's leave was up. He is grateful for the opportunity to be there for his twins and says he has learned so much and he even has inside jokes with them. Jason explains how the NJ paid family leave gave him and his wife a peace of mind knowning that one of them could be there to care for their children without losing a paycheck.
James Musson, father of five, including twins born in Sept. 2008, prior to availability of New Jersey's Family Leave Insurance (FLI) benefits. Since FLI allows for bonding leave to be taken during the 12 months immediately following birth of child, James was able to take six weeks in 1 week increments in June 2009 through August 2009, immediately after FLI benefits became available. "This worked well for the family and me because I was able to get used to getting up in the night for feedings, and I was able to not fall behind at work too much. "I never had the opportunity to take any time off with the first three. I think I had 1-2 days off after each of their births. As a father, you are looked at as a 'spare part', and not really given any chance to get used to a new family. Fathers are still expected to work while dealing with sleepless nights, feedings, etc. Having family leave with the twins made me appreciate mothers more, made me spend more time with the babies than I ever was able to before and be more relaxed having this quality time with them."
Lauren was able to take paid family leave after giving birth to her second son in January 2011. By taking advantage of New Jersey's Family Leave Insurance program, Lauren was able to take a substantial amount of time off from work and bond with her newborn as well as her other son. It is not financially possible for Lauren's family to rely on a single income. Having access to family leave insurance eased the burden on Lauren's family so that she was able to bond with her new baby without having to worry about losing income or her employment. "I was able to stay at home and not have to worry about the financial impact of staying home without pay. So for me, paid family leave is really important and I think it's something that all parents should be aware of, so that they can bond with their child for as long as possible."
In 2008, Tahearra's mother, Permilia, found out that she was ill and needed to have surgery. Initially, Tahearra had decided to take an unpaid leave through her employer to care for her mother after surgery. The following year, Tahearra needed to take leave again to return to caring for her mother and was informed that New Jersey's Family Leave Insurance had gone into effect. After applying and completing the paperwork, Tahearra was able to use family leave insurance to stay home with her mother while she recovered. She was able to have her job protected but still take the time to care. "It just eased my mind and it was less stressful with taking care of her and jumping up and going to work and still having to take care of my family. It made it a lot easier, stress free basically." Permilia also noted that, "having someone who cares about you taking care of you, it makes all the difference in the world. I think it helped me recover faster."
Dena was able to use family leave insurance to remain home and bond with her newborn child. Dena chose to supplement her existing time off from her employer by using family leave insurance. Dena is very grateful that she learned about New Jersey's family leave insurance program and was able to bond with her baby for longer than she had previously expected. She hopes that others can learn about this great program and make use of the benefit. "That was the best thing that ever happened. I got to be home with my baby 3 for months. It was great."
While working as a Nursing Assistant, Khadijah learned of New Jersey's Family Leave Insurance program. Khadijah was able to take the time off from work to bond and breastfeed her newborn son. FLI allowed Khadijah to provide her baby with the care she desired within the comfort of her home, an entitlement that she did not have with her first child. Khadijah was grateful to have the opportunity to use FLI and spend time with her new baby.
Dr. Herb Greenberg founded Caliper Corporation 50 years ago. With over 200 employees internationally, Caliper maintains strong values to work-life balance and its family leave program. At least a dozen of Caliper's employees have taken advantage of the company's family leave program, which has not only boosted morale, but has shown to have significant cost savings. By providing employees with a method of work-life balance and a family leave option, employees are more likely to return to work at the end of their leave. The impact on retention has been extremely important to Caliper in holding on to its valued employees rather than seeking replacements and paying for the cost of re-training.
Roxanne first used NJ's family leave insurance in 2011 after giving birth to her first child. In addition to short-term disability, Roxanne was able to take advantage of paid family leave and take an additional six weeks off of work to bond with her baby. Having this extra time was extremely meaningful to Roxanne to be able to spend time with her newborn. After the birth of her second child, Roxanne use family leave insurance again. Roxanne and her family value the financial security that comes with paid benefits during time off. Roxanne believes that all new parents should take advantage of this program.

"Reflections:" USC Upstate presents foreign language educator workshop
The foreign language program of the University of South Carolina Upstate will present its annual "Reflections" workshop on Friday, March 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Sansbury Campus Life Center Ballroom. The theme of the 2013 workshop is "Using LinguaFolio® to Build Proficiency in All Modes of Communication." Foreign language teachers, from elementary to university level, travel from all areas of the state to attend the workshop.
Educators in South Carolina are already familiar with summative assessment related to the three communication modes. Participants will begin creating their own LinguaFolio® during the workshop, and explore how to guide their students in documenting language proficiency, setting learning goals, and managing language learning. Free LinguaFolio® resources will be shared, and future training and networking opportunities will be discussed.
The facilitator of this year's workshop is Ann Marie Gunter, World Language consultant at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). She has taught French and English in K-16 classrooms, and is focused on proficiency-based standards development, support, and implementation. Gunter's current projects include NCDPI's READY and Race to the Top (RttT) initiatives involving Essential Standards and a comprehensive balanced assessment system, encompassing state and national LinguaFolio® initiatives.
Certification credit will be provided in the form of a letter to administrators printed on USC Upstate letterhead, as some districts have used these workshops as staff development for their teachers and have given teachers credit for their participation in this workshop.
A continental breakfast and lunch are included with the registration fee, which is $55. No refunds are given after February 15. On-site registration is available. For further information, contact Dr. June Carter, professor of Spanish at USC Upstate, at email@example.com or (864) 503-5881.

Mostly, I work with high school students to produce a wide variety of television programming for The Okemos Channel including everything from Board of Education meetings to elementary school recitals to live high school sporting events.
I am the host of QuizBusters, a high school quiz program seen on WKAR-TV, our local PBS station. It's a slickly produced, Emmy award winning program, much better than you might expect for local television. We must be doing something right, we've been doing it since 1989.
I also work with several marvelous community theatres around Lansing, including Riverwalk Theatre, Lansing Civic Players, Peppermint Creek Theatre Company, Starlight Dinner Theatre, Sunsets with Shakespeare and All-of-Us Express Children's Theatre. Those companies and more provide a wealth of exciting, daring and innovative live theater productions for audiences here in the mid-Michigan area.

good deal on the bridgeport mill?
love to find one and this is around my area kinda
Bridgeport milling machine with new single phase motor 110/220, 9 x 42 inch table, R8 collett.
can get for 1200 bucks
what you think?
Unless it is worn out, I would scarf it up faster than a snake strikes. Of course, if there is no tooling to go with it, you will spend at least that much to be able to do simple things. Personally, I like moving the table up and down vice the head. Check for excessive wear on the vertical table lands as well as screw wear on the table horizontal movement.
Unless the table is sloppy that thing is a steal at that price, even three phase machines go for that and sometimes even more.
Very good price worn or not. They can always be brought back up to tolerance.
thanks alot for the info. just waiting on reply from seller.
btw where do u get endmill assc etc online?
You're in Ontario? Ten bucks says I grab it first? (Just kidding, don't worry).
Depends what kind of quality you need.. I know McMaster sells them, but never bought anything from them.
If you're looking for hobby quality, which is what I use, just go down to your local Busy Bee.. They're cheap, they work.. my mill is small and snaps the bits anyways, so I'm not investing large sums of money in consumables. :D
E-Bay!!! I get fantastic deals on high quality end mills like Niagara, OSG, etc along with about every other accessory you would need (and you would need a lot!).
Man, you haven't been on eBay in awhile have you? :D
good to know thanks guys. I here these units are really huge anyone know the size of the bridgeport?
I bought 5 Bridgepots new back in 1978 (10,000 dol. w/ basic tooling and 2 axis DRO) when I was starting up a new shop. I have since sold and retired and even though I replaced all the Bridgeports with CNC equipment , I kept all of them. I could possibly get a manual if you buy it. That is an older machine as it is not varable speed spindle. One of the best manual mills in the business. :thumbup: The mill can be set up w/ dro,dividing head, rotary table and horizontal cutting. A great machine that most rodders would love to own.
Weight- 2000 lb
Foot Pad- 3 ft x 5 ft
Height- 6 1/2 ft.
You can get pretty much anything you need on line from either MSC or Enco. MSC is a little higher price. I use Enco for most of my needs, and have bought some big stuff from them too. Reasonable in both cost and quality. Great deal on the Bridgeport if the table is in good shape. Spindles are rebuildable.
Where abouts in ontario are you?
Do both high and low gears work in the head? Does the power feed work?

New Website coming soon!
6 June 2013: HOUSTON, TX – Aggreko, the world leader in rental power, and temperature control solutions, is providing power generation and climate control for this year's U.S. Open Championship, which will run June 13 - 16. This is the thirteenth time Aggreko has been selected as the temporary utility provider of the tournament, which is hosted this year by the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
Aggreko designed a power and cooling solution that will enable the sold-out crowd to enjoy the tournament in safety and comfort, without detracting from the beauty of the surroundings. The supplied equipment was customized specifically for golf tournaments and large-scale spectator events. It includes quiet, uninterruptible TwinPack generators - which provide cleaner, quieter and more convenient temporary power than other commonly used generator sets - and custom-built tent air conditioners.
The project is unique in that it will be spread out over two golf courses, private residences and the athletic compound at Haverford College. Aggreko's design and logistics teams took account of the various sizes of temporary and permanent facilities to be installed throughout the grounds, including the Trophy Club and merchandise tent at 24,000 sq ft each. Powering an event of this magnitude requires tons of Aggreko equipment and manpower, including:
In addition to expanding its personnel and rental fleet, Aggreko will provide customers with remote monitoring capabilities to improve its ability to troubleshoot any operational issue and optimize operating efficiency. The local service team will be supported by Aggreko's North American network of rental facilities, equipment and technical experts which spans over 50 locations. "It's a pleasure to be able to work with the USGA for the thirteenth time," said David Prince, Senior Events Project Manager, Aggreko North America. "Each project we design is unique, and Aggreko's dedicated events team has developed a custom temporary power and cooling installation to ensure the comfort of all participants attending this spectacular event."
Aggreko North America has a long history of providing power to high-profile events, including presidential inaugurations, several national sporting events, and the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.

O'Reilly again falsely claimed that Army Field Manual bans making "any captured person uncomfortable in any way"
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN
Bill O'Reilly again falsely claimed that the Army Field Manual "says, quote, 'You are not to make any captured person uncomfortable in any way.' " In fact, the Army Field Manual includes an entire section on "Interrogation Operations," which includes several techniques and strategies that make detainees "uncomfortable."
On the January 6 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly again falsely claimed that the Army Field Manual "says, quote, 'You are not to make any captured person uncomfortable in any way.' " In fact, it does not say this; as Media Matters for America has noted, the Army Field Manual includes an entire section on "Interrogation Operations," as well as a chapter listing and describing "Approach Techniques and Termination Strategies" for use in interrogations of detainees, several of which make detainees "uncomfortable."
These techniques include the "Emotional Fear-Up Approach" ("identif[ying] a preexisting fear or creat[ing] a fear within the source ... then link[ing] the elimination or reduction of the fear to cooperation on the part of the source"); the "Emotional-Futility Approach" ("convinc[ing] the source that resistance to questioning is futile," which "engenders a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness on the part of the source"); the "Rapid-Fire Approach" ("ask[ing] a series of questions in such a manner that the source does not have time to answer a question completely before the next one is asked," which "confuses the source, and he will tend to contradict himself as he has little time to formulate his answers"); and the "Mutt and Jeff Approach" ("involv[ing] a psychological ploy that takes advantage of the natural uncertainty and guilt that a source has as a result of being detained and questioned").
O'Reilly's claim that the Army Field Manual states that soldiers cannot "make any captured person uncomfortable in any way" appears to refer to portions of the 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, otherwise known as the Third Geneva Convention, which is cited in the Army Field Manual.
During the discussion, O'Reilly also asserted that requiring the CIA to adhere to the Army Field Manual won't result in any "intel from any captured terrorist suspects at all." O'Reilly's assertion is contradicted by the experiences of the Air Force officer who led the team of interrogators that successfully hunted down Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Writing under the pseudonym Matthew Alexander in a Washington Post op-ed, he explained how he used the methods "listed in the unclassified Field Manual" to interrogate prisoners and that this "started a chain of successes that ultimately led to Zarqawi." He wrote:
Amid the chaos, four other Air Force criminal investigators and I joined an elite team of interrogators attempting to locate Zarqawi. What I soon discovered about our methods astonished me. The Army was still conducting interrogations according to the Guantanamo Bay model: Interrogators were nominally using the methods outlined in the U.S. Army Field Manual, the interrogators' bible, but they were pushing in every way possible to bend the rules -- and often break them. I don't have to belabor the point; dozens of newspaper articles and books have been written about the misconduct that resulted. These interrogations were based on fear and control; they often resulted in torture and abuse.
I refused to participate in such practices, and a month later, I extended that prohibition to the team of interrogators I was assigned to lead. I taught the members of my unit a new methodology -- one based on building rapport with suspects, showing cultural understanding and using good old-fashioned brainpower to tease out information. I personally conducted more than 300 interrogations, and I supervised more than 1,000. The methods my team used are not classified (they're listed in the unclassified Field Manual), but the way we used them was, I like to think, unique. We got to know our enemies, we learned to negotiate with them, and we adapted criminal investigative techniques to our work (something that the Field Manual permits, under the concept of "ruses and trickery"). It worked. Our efforts started a chain of successes that ultimately led to Zarqawi.
From the January 6 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: But Colonel -- and you and I have disagreed on this one before -- you know, if you're going to say that you have to do the Army Field Manual, which you know very well, which says, quote, "You are not to make any captured person uncomfortable in any way" -- if that's going to be the standard that [CIA director-designate] Leon Panetta embraces, and he told the Monterey newspaper that's exactly his vision, then I don't think we are going to get intel from any captured terrorist suspects at all. Am I wrong?
DAVID HUNT (Fox News military analyst): No. And the intel -- the Army intel manual is meant for Private Johnson in the field.
O'REILLY: Right. Right. Right. But --
HUNT: And that -- it's not a manual -- it should not be --
O'REILLY: It was clear by --
HUNT: -- adopted by the intelligence community. It should not be.
O'REILLY: It was clear by the interview that Panetta did with the Monterey newspaper that this is the standard that he believes the CIA has to adhere to.
HUNT: And then he's wrong, and so is the incoming president to even be on this issue.

"Lost" Shakespeare play to be published
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - The discounted claims of an 18th century author to have re-shaped the words of Shakespeare into a play are finally being taken seriously by a respected publisher of the Bard's works nearly 300 years on.
"Double Falsehood," a play written by Lewis Theobald and first performed in 1727, was based substantially on another work co-written by William Shakespeare more than a century earlier, a leading academic said on Tuesday.
Adding weight to the claim of Professor Brean Hammond of Nottingham University is the fact that the respected Arden Shakespeare publishers will release it in print on March 22.
Its appearance, and the attribution to Shakespeare, is likely to trigger another round of scholarly debate over what the English-speaking world's most famous and influential playwright wrote and what was falsely attributed to him.
For Hammond, the publication of the play next week will be the culmination of years of research. "I started working on it in the 1980s and wrote a couple of articles on the play," he told Reuters.
"At the time I was hoping to get the play brought out by Oxford University Press. It was revived in around 2002 when the Arden series general editor got in touch and said he would like to bring this out.
"He subjected it to very, very stringent scrutiny and of course all the way through we've tried to tread a cautious line. But you can't really control what people say about it."

Spotify is tooling up ahead of the looming scrap with Apple's own iTunes Radio and today launched a new version of its iOS app.
The new iPhone app, available to download now, brings the new Discover feature into play to help premium members unearth new music based on their listening habits as well as what's being shared by artists they follow and who's playing in their local area.
The Discover functionality arrived on the desktop back in April and hasn't exactly earned rave reviews as yet. However, it could be more useful on mobile devices, judging by the integration with Spotify's new iPhone app.
It has a streamlined, scrollable UI and, like the desktop version, users can press and hold to play a sample of the suggested song. After a brief play, we can say the feature certainly feels more natural on the touchscreen.
The chance to 'Play Next' or 'Save As Playlist' with one touch is also on board and works particularly well.
Beyond Discover, which will arrive other iterations of the app in the coming weeks, Spotify also boasts of a new 'Now Playing' menu which tells users what's 'Up Next' in the play queue. iPhone and iPod touch users can now edit their playlists more easily on their mobile device.
The updates come a few months before Apple rolls out the free iTunes Radio service, as part of the new iOS 7 operating system.
That app won't give users the same freedom of choice that Spotify does and is geared more towards iTunes downloads, but it definitely poses a threat to Spotify's bottom line.
Check out our iTunes Radio vs Spotify feature to decide for yourself which app is in better shape to win the mobile streaming battle.

New Mexico Telegram » Morning Word » Morning Word 05-17-13: Hispanic economic recovery slow in NM
Morning Word 05-17-13: Hispanic economic recovery slow in NM
- Gov. Susana Martinez isn't a frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President in 2016; Public Policy Polling finds that 68 percent of likely Republican voters don't know enough about her to form an opinion while just one percent say she is their top choice.
- A study by the Economic Policy Institute finds that economic recovery is slow in New Mexico — and even slower for Hispanics in the state.
- An ethics complaint against Mayor Richard Berry took a step forward.
- A member of the Health Insurance Exchange Board said the state shouldn't rely on the federal government, citing the high risk pool. Albuquerque Business First:
"I have the experience of getting burned by the feds," Sandel said while urging his fellow board members to not allow federal officials to run the individual insurance portion of New Mexico's exchange.
"It's very difficult for me to envision handing individuals to the feds. It's scary for me.
"We continued to be encouraged by the feds to enroll more people, and now they're changing the contract. This is a significant change. I'm left with a feeling that things can change no matter what assurances there have been."
- And the board is beginning the process of hiring a marketing firm for the exchange.
- The Rio Grande Sun reports on the city of Española needing an audit before it can get any capital outlay funding.
- New Mexico In Focus will talk about the state's water battle with Texas — with Attorney General Gary King. Look for it tonight on KNME.
- Two Albuquerque city councilors want to suspend the Police Oversight Commission, saying it is ineffective. They say it should be suspended until a better solution can be found.
- St. Pius High School is forcing a transgender student who identifies as a male to wear a female gown if he wants to walk at graduation.
- Michael Coleman looks at the political infighting over who gets the credit for LANL cleanup funding.
- Clovis officials started the process on a huge amount of industrial revenue bonds for the Tres Amigas power superstation.
The commission, in a 6-0 vote, agreed to introduce an ordinance that would create 30-year bonds for a tax abatement of $1.655 billion for Tres Amigas, LLC, to build its power superstation on 14,400 acres of land in Curry County.
- State Republicans are going after Sen. Tom Udall for a letter he signed onto that asked the IRS to look into the non-profits that were involved in politics. The letter did not single out conservative groups or any other type of non-profit.
- The town of Taos rejected proposals for the Convention Center — and now may close down the buildings.
- NM Capitol Report has more on Leslie Endean-Singh, the Democrat who wants to face Rep. Steve Pearce in the 2nd Congressional District.
- The Daily Drought Digest:
The Mt. Taylor Ranger District is postponing issuing personal use woodcutting permits because of the drought.
The woodcutting season will begin when there is enough precipitation to decrease the likelihood of human-caused wildfires. The district will issue a media release and post information on the web to announce the beginning of the season.
The Lincoln County Commission accepted a change to subdivision ordinances despite opposition, the Ruidoso News reports.
Residents filled a Board of Public Utilities meeting on Wednesday to voice their dispelesature over a plan to drill a water well in their community. The Los Alamos Monitor:
DPU proposes digging the wells to utilize the county's 1,200 acre-feet San Juan-Chama water allotment and secure the county's water rights.
Well Site 3, located in county open space south of Pajarito Acres — provides the greatest potential to yield the 1,200 acre-feet allotment and will be the first site tested.
The State Engineer plans on metering some water wells to measure water use.
- Las Cruces will repeal a law that would have imposed impact fees on developers.
The action comes after the council was told by Public Works Director Loretta Reyes earlier this week that the fees won't be enough to pay for improvements.
"We'll repeal the ordinance," Mayor Ken Miyagishima said. "We could have gone back through the entire process again, and come up with a new method, but that would be too lengthy and more expensive for the city in the long run."
- The mayor of Las Vegas spent $9,500 on travel. The mayor, Alfonso Ortiz, is facing a recall effort.
- The city of Raton is looking at putting a $6 surcharge on electric bills to help close a budget gap.
- Albuquerque is looking for public comment on a bus rapid transit idea that would provide bus-only lanes on Central Avenue.
- The Navajo Nation named a new Poet Laureate. New Mexico In Depth has the details.
- A judge delayed unsealing pre-trial motions in the Levi Chavez case. Chavez is accused of killing his wife.
From New Mexico Compass:
One court document was made available to the public during yesterday's hearing. Judge George Eichwald also reversed his position and lifted a blanket seal he had ordered on all future motions filed before the trial begins.
Another six sealed court documents will be considered on Wednesday, May 22, after lawyers have had a chance to comb through hundreds of questionnaires given to potential jurors. Defense attorney David Serna said a random sampling of 47 questionnaires showed 24 people had a fixed, negative opinion of the case. He read examples out loud one by one.
- Oil and gas interests are not happy with new rules on the controversial practice known as "fracking." Capitol Report New Mexico writes about it.
- The Raton Range looks at Raton's ties to the space travel industry in New Mexico. While I've never been a fan of the Spaceport, the typing "the space travel industry in New Mexico" is pretty cool.
- The Alamogordo city council failed to pass a ban on texting and driving as well as one that would stop talking on the phone while driving.
Some commissioners have objected to language that exempted emergency workers from following the law. Others have only wanted texting while driving banned.
The ordinance was called unenforceable by some and unnecessary by others because there are already laws in the books that deal with distracted drivers.

Q: Where does the name "2nd Story" come from?
A: While it's true that we got our start on the second floor of Webster's Wine Bar, what our name really refers to are the stories that our audience tells each other after hearing our stories. We tell the first story to inspire you to tell each other the second story, whether in the time between storytellers, or that night when you get home, or some time the next day or week.
Q: How is 2nd Story different from other reading series?
A: One of the things we really enjoy about Chicago is the wealth of different reading series we have at our fingertips. We are proud to be part of such a rich tradition of writing and storytelling. Each of the many reading series have their own flavor and specialization. What sets us apart is that our storytellers are telling stories from their own lives with the intention of connecting to something wider and more universal in the audience. We work closely with our tellers to develop their stories and coach them on the performance aspects of their pieces. We are interested in the crafting and production of the evening as a whole, and work with all of our collaborators to create an experience that is as fulfilling for the artists as it is for the audience. When you work with 2nd Story, you are working with a group of professionals who have spent over ten years perfecting the aesthetic we are known for.
Q: How is 2nd Story different from other theaters?
A: The biggest difference is that at 2nd Story, we don't consider ourselves primarily a theater. While we have produced plays in the past, we no longer focus our energy there. In the sense that theater is about telling stories and there is a performance aspect to what we do, there are similarities, but we've developed an aesthetic that is uniquely us.
Q: So, are you a theater company, or a literary series, or what?
A: We are not your traditional theater and we are not your average reading series. 2nd Story is a hybrid performance event combining storytelling, wine, and music. Here's more information about what to expect.
Q: How do I become a storyteller/director/musician for a 2nd Story show? Where are your Submission Guidelines?
A: We love working with new talent! See our Tell a Story page if you want to tell a story with us, and our Work with Us page if you want to collaborate with us.
Q: I'd love to learn how to tell a 2nd Story story, but I have no idea how to get started. Can you help?
A: You bet we can. If you have a story to tell, we can help. See our Training page for information on classes and workshops.
Q: Is there an open mic?
A: There is not. While there are many reading series that have an open mic component, our events are specifically crafted for each show's theme.
Q: Can I write a story for 2nd Story, but have someone else perform it?
A: What makes 2nd Story special is that our storytellers tell you their stories. They are sharing real experiences that happened to them. If you write a story for us, we'd love to help you tell your own story. Having said that, if you have some unusual circumstances, let's talk. Email us at info.
Q: How do I suggest a theme for a future 2nd Story show?
A: Each season, we choose an idea that we want to explore. Then, we choose themes for individual events that help us delve deeper into that idea. For this season, our idea is Know Thyself and our events are geared toward exploring the many facets of what that means. If you have an idea or a theme you would like to see us explore in more depth, join us at an event and let us know. We're always interested in meeting the needs of our audience.
Q: Does 2nd Story offer internships?
A: We do. Our interns work with us in many capacities. If you're interested, take a look here.
Q: Does 2nd Story offer paid jobs?
A: We have a very small staff that we pay. Currently we are fully staffed.
Q: Can I listen to 2nd Story stories online?
A: You bet. Check out our podcasts on our Listen page. You can also subscribe to us on iTunes.
Q: Can I read 2nd Story stories online?
A: Read some of our previously performed 2nd Story pieces on our Read page.
Q: How can I get 2nd Story to come to my favorite wine bar?
A: We love performing in new spaces! If you think there is a place that is perfect for our events, email us here and we'll come check it out.
Q: Is 2nd Story available to perform corporate events or private functions?
A: Absolutely! See our Private Events page for more information.
Q: I just love 2nd Story! How can I support you?
A: We would love your support, in any form, whether in money, in goods, or in time. See our Donate page.
Q: Where do I park?
A: There are several different venues where we have shows. For the parking information on a specific venue, see the Shows by Venues page.
Q: Tickets are sold out online. Can I get tickets at the door?
A: In many cases, yes. We always hold back a limited number of tickets for sale at the door. They tend to go quickly so, again, arriving early is advisable.
Q: I forgot to print out my ticket and I'm already on my way to the show! What do I do?
A: No worries, just give your name when you check in with our box office host and you'll be fine.
Q: What happens if I show up late?
A: No problem. The structure of the evening is such that you can join at any point during the evening. For many of our venues, however, seating is limited so the later you arrive, the more likely it is you might not get the seat you want.
Q: Is there assigned seating?
A: There is not assigned seating, generally. It is more like going to a restaurant and sitting at an available table. We are always looking for ways to make our seating arrangements more efficient and effective, but our best advice is to arrive early for the best seating. Here's some more information on What To Expect.
Q: Do shows have an intermission?
A: There are breaks between each story so you can go to the bathroom, talk with your table mates, do what you need to do. We want you to be comfortable and enjoy your evening.
Q: Is there a wait-list for sold-out shows?
A: Yes, if this show is sold out, you can come to the venue and put your name on the wait-list. We cannot guarantee seating, but we will try to accommodate our wait-listers.
Q: Can I eat and drink during a show?
A: Yes, please! A huge part of the 2nd Story experience is sharing food and drink with friends. Our venues have full drink and dinner menus that you are welcome to partake of throughout the evening.
Q: What's the dress code?
A: Dress as if you were going out with friends for a bite to eat, maybe a glass of wine, good stories and good times…because that's exactly what you're doing!
Q: Are shows family-friendly?
A: While most of our venues are considered restaurants and are thus open to younger patrons, some of our shows do include mature issues and may not be appropriate for children or more sensitive listeners.
Q: I'm a member of the media. How can I get more information?
A: See our For Press page.

The 30-year-old will make his 20th appearance under Robinson - earning his 78th cap in all - at Murrayfield on Sunday but it will only be his sixth start under the former England coach.
Chris Cusiter has been preferred at scrum-half but for the visit of the World Cup runners-up Blair has been handed the chance to show what he can do alongside club-mate Greig Laidlaw.
It is the ninth time in as many games Robinson has chosen to shuffle his half-back pairing and Blair is desperate to show the Scotland coach he's struck upon the right combination.
"I think there's a slightly different balance to the way we play the game," said Blair of comparisons between himself and Cusiter.
"We both bring different things to the party and I'm happy to get the call this time.
"You've got to back your own ability and you have to be aware that anything could happen, Chris could have been injured in the first minute of the England game, and then that suddenly opens things up for myself.
"Equally, I've now got the opportunity to show what I can do."

I'm David Lindo, also known as The Urban Birder. I'm a broadcaster, writer, naturalist, photographer, public speaker, tour leader and oh, I have been known to do the odd bit of birding!
Born and raised in London, I love anything nature, but for as long as I can remember birds have been my particular obsession. When I was three I went missing during a family party and caused my mum great panic. The police were called and a search party dispatched and I was eventually found standing outside a graveyard watching some Magpies.
I never switch off when it comes to urban birding, I'm forever on the lookout. If you saw me strolling down a street you'd think I was in Manhattan for the first time, gazing up in wonderment. The sky is my canvas and it's amazing what you can see when you look up; birds of prey, swirling swifts, migrating thrushes, raucous crows. It's a beautiful world up there.
My main passion is for urban birds and I spend my time doing as much as I can to promote the appreciation and conservation of the birds that share our city lives. I now travel the world encouraging citizens and organisations to step outside wherever they may be to enjoy urban birding. Through my TV appearances, writing, talks and tours I try to inspire people to re-look at their urban environments. I believe wildlife in urban areas is so easy to engage with. All we have to do is open our eyes, ears, hearts and minds and soon we will be linked into the nature around us.
A few urban birding tips to get you started:
See your urban environment as how a bird would: The buildings are cliffs and any green areas are an oasis for nesting, resting and feeding.
Don't stress about learning the names and songs of all the birds you encounter, just enjoy them.
Learn at your own pace.
You don't have to wear green anoraks; you can look cool and fashionable, I find the birds prefer it too.
Get your friends involved.
Find a local patch to regularly visit.
Think that anything can turn up anywhere at anytime.
That still works for me to this day.
Don't go out expecting to see anything. That way you'll never be disappointed but most likely be surprised.
My message is simple – #Look up!

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger has given Robin van Persie perhaps the highest praise a striker can ever receive – by making comparisons to Marco van Basten.
The latter was perhaps the greatest all-round forward the modern game has seen. The Dutchman led his country to success in Euro 88 and AC Milan to a clutch of honours two decades ago.
Van Persie is hardly a carbon copy but, Wenger argues, the 26-year-old has strong technical similarities.
"I think he's a Van Basten type," he said. "By which I mean he's a technical centre forward. He has that classy first touch, sharp movement and a short back-lift.
"I always thought he was more a first striker than second striker and I must say I love him there because he has a brain. He can play others in and he can score. His movement is intelligent around the box and if we score a lot of goals a big part is down to him.
"Look at the one he scored [against Birmingham on Saturday]. You can say it was a bit lucky but you need a specialist soft touch to control the ball in that situation. With a normal player, the ball goes five yards away but with his second touch he puts it straight back on his left leg and scores."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I am so pissed right now! I FINALLY thought I found one of two dream products (the other is the Goddess Glaze which I use alone) in the Spiral Curls Cream and they go and change the ingredients? So I guess it's not CG friendly anymore. And it's not even that I am on CG, I just like the idea of being able to rinse out my product with water and to know I am using something good on my hair.
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Goddess Glaze and if they touch that I am done with Curls products.
OK, so someone suggested AG RE:coil as a substitute for the Spiral Curls Cream which I will try when I am done with my bottle of SCC, just in case, does anyone have a sub for the Goddess Glaze? I love it because it gives nice soft hold, great shine and curl definition and NO crunch, plus it does not weigh my hair down. I didn't really like Curl Keeper too much (too expensive and I had to use a ton) and never had such good luck with Jessicurl, so if anyone has another suggestion, I would appreciate it.
What a crock, if I didn't love the GG so much I would cancel my latest order...
Can you tell I am a litte upset?

Let's say you're a wealthy donor helping to raise money for the president. Exactly how much do you need to cough up to get considered for one of those exciting embassy jobs? Say, a glamorous posting in Paris. Or Tokyo.
Yes, this is actually something that happens. The president, after all, is in charge of naming U.S. ambassadors all over the world. And historically, about 55 of those spots have gone to "political" appointees — wealthy donors or top fund-raisers. These are usually gigs in nice, stable countries like France or Italy. (By contrast, countries that require more diplomatic finesse — Egypt, say — tend to get more experienced "career" appointees to head up their embassies.)
And it turns out that the donors vying for these spots have to spend quite a bit. Nicholas Confessore of the New York Times recently reported on a fascinating paper (pdf) by two Penn State professors that attempted to put a price tag on these ambassadorships.
By combing through historical data, the authors discovered that large donors who become ambassadors are far more likely to get appointed to wealthy industrialized countries that are safe, stable, and popular tourist destinations. No surprise there. But the numbers were revealing. Political ambassadors who gave at least $650,000 in donations, for instance, had a 90 percent chance of getting posted to Western Europe.
The authors then tried to calculate an "implicit price tag" for each embassy posting, based on both direct contributions and bundling efforts. I've graphed a few of the countries below:
The authors calculate that a posting in Paris is currently worth about $1.1 million in direct contributions, although bundling together a variety of contributions worth $616,940 could suffice as well. An ambassadorship in Lisbon, meanwhile, isn't nearly as valuable — worth just $602,686 in direct contributions.
Now, to be clear, this is just an attempt to model the underlying value of these ambassador gigs, based on historical trends. There's no guarantee that contributing $1.1 million will get you that fancy house on the Champs-Élysées. The authors find that plenty of political appointees throughout history have "overpaid," while others have gotten ambassadorships at a relative bargain — perhaps because they had relevant skills or were closely connected to the president in other ways.
Case in point: Anna Wintour. For a brief while, the "Vogue" editor was rumored to be in the running to become the ambassador to Britain after raising $40 million for the president's reelection campaign. That actually would've been a steep overpayment — the authors calculate that the Court of St. James is "only" worth between $650,000 and $2.3 million. (It's all moot now, since Wintour has reportedly withdrawn from the race.)
Either way, these jobs certainly don't come cheap. And there's increasingly tight competition for the spots as Obama's second term begins. My colleague Al Kamen has reported that there were at least 200 donors who had either contributed or bundled at least $500,000 to the Obama reelection campaign. Many of those donors are likely to discover that the price of a cushy embassy gig is getting steeper and steeper with each passing year.
Further reading:
--There are lots of fascinating tidbits in the full study (pdf) by Pennsylvania State University professors Johannes W. Fedderke and Dennis C. Jett.
--Ezra Klein explained why political ambassadors in countries like France have often been rich — because the job typically involves throwing lots of parties and dinners, and the State Department budget doesn't cover the full cost.
--An excellent recent piece by Nicholas Confessore and Sheryl Gay Stolberg on how well-connected political donors jockey to become ambassadors.

Works wonders on eczema!!
By Mom of 2
from Andover, MA
Both of my children, ages 3 and 1, have moderate to severe eczema. Any soap or cleanser with fragrance or dyes cause flare ups, and finding a soap for them has been really difficult. Ever since their dermatologist recommended this product, I've seen a remarkable difference in their skin after baths.

San Diego's Clarke Spinosa shook off a bagel in the first set to down Sarmiento, 0-6, 6-1, 6-1 to get the Toreros on the board.
With the match tightening, Trojan freshman Max de Vroome turned around a second-set 2-3 deficit to defeat Victor Pugliese at No. 5, 6-3, 6-3 to clinch the win.
