Donald Trump on Energy & Oil
2016 Republican nominee for President; 2000 Reform Primary Challenger for President
The most popular source of green energy is solar as several decades after installing solar panels to get your money back. That's not exactly what I would call a good investment. Even if that number is only half right, what kind of investment do you want to make that takes 20 years before you break even
Researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas, have estimated we might have two trillion barrels of recoverable oil, enough to last the next 285 years. Technology has changed so much in the last few years that a Goldman-Sachs study has estimated that by 2017 or 2019, we could overtake both Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest oil producer.
The oil is there for the taking; we just have to take it.
I've never understood why, with all of our own reserves, we've allowed this country to be held hostage by OPEC, the cartel of oil- producing countries, some of which are hostile to America.
Trump continued to complain about the wind-energy project planned for the waters just offshore. The British government was committed to the idea, and Scottish first minister Salmond had worked hard to get the European Union's approval for a wind- energy test field in the North Sea waters. Trump said that Salmond had assured him the windmills would not be built. He insisted that he was fighting not just for himself, but for the country, because windmills were a bad technology. "We have to save Scotland," he declared. "You cannot allow these industrial monstrosities sustained with government subsidy."
Trump's opinion of windpower stems from an unsuccessful legal battle he has fought against an off-shore windpower project near one of his golf resorts in Scotland. Just last month, Scottish courts found that Trump had no grounds for accusing Scottish ministers of illegally agreeing to license the 100MW experimental wind farm.
Trump has simply dismissed solar as an "unproven technology" despite solar's decades of rock-solid reliability. His 32 year payback assessment, even in 2012, did not take into account any of the tax incentives or rebates available to most Americans. One can only assume that his criticisms of the government tax breaks for solar are strictly political in motivation, since his real estate empire is built on the hundred of millions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies his projects receive.
A: Well, there could be some manmade, too. I mean, I'm not saying there's zero, but not nearly to the extent [others say]. When Obama gets up and said it's the number one problem of our country--and, if it is, why is it that we have to do our and clean up our factories now, and China doesn't have to do it for another 30 or 35 years in their wonderful agreement, you know, our wonderful negotiators?
Trump does not believe climate change is real, tweeting out his skepticism with strong language and calling it a hoax on Fox News in 2014. In a 2012 Twitter post which is no longer accessible, Trump charged that the concept of climate change was created by the Chinese to suppress the U.S. economy. In addition, Trump has expressed firm opposition to wind turbines, which he sees as an environmental and aesthetic problem.
Remember Cap-and-Tax (or as they called it Cap and Trade)? [In 2008], Obama outright admitted that his plan to tax businesses on carbon emissions that exceeded his arbitrary cap would drive energy prices sky high. Here's what he said:
"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket, even regardless of what I say about coal, because I'm capping greenhouse gases. Whatever the plants were, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that on to consumers."
Most of us shake our heads in disbelief at this stuff.
Until we get this country's lifeblood--oil--back down to reasonable rates, America's economy will continue to slump, jobs won't get created, and American consumers will face ever-increasing prices.
Obama promised he was going to create millions of so-called "green collar" jobs. He used that promise to justify his massive government giveaway of billions and billions of taxpayers' dollars to green energy companies. We're now seeing the results of Obama's promise and big government scheme.
Imagine the amount of oil we could have secured for America. Our policy should be: no oil, no military support.
It's not the market [raising the price], it's OPEC. They set the price of oil. If they did it in this country, it would be called illegal.
I think it's incredible that we're going slow on drilling. I think it's beyond anything I've ever seen that we're going slow on drilling.
there are always going to be problems. You're going to have an oil spill. You clean it up and you fix it up and it'll be fine.
I have people in the business and they say it's almost impossible to get a permit to drill. So you can imagine how hard it is to get nuclear and other things but they say it's almost impossible. If you look at natural gas, we're the Saudi Arabia times 100 of natural gas--but we don't use it.
A: Ultimately what could happen to nuclear energy in terms of a worldwide feeling, is not a good thing.
Q: Are we overreacting? Germany sidelining some nuclear reactors?
A: When you see what's going on in Japan, certainly you can't say overreacting, but, look, nuclear is a way that we get what we have to get, which is energy. I think that probably there's not an overreaction, but we have to be very, very careful. I worry about terrorists. I worry about other things beyond just that. I'm very strongly in favor of nuclear energy. You know, it's sort of interesting. If a plane goes down, people keep flying. If you get into an auto crash, people keep driving. There are problems in life. Not everything is so perfect. You have to look very carefully, though, at really taking care; having the best people in terms of safeguards for nuclear energy. But we do need nuclear energy, and we need a lot of it fast.
Here are some points to consider. The price of oil, which is the lifeblood of all economies, is down. That's good news. I've already written about that subject and about the many tankers full of oil treading water and going nowhere.
DT: I'm doing one right now. I'm doing this huge complex in Jones Beach in coordination with the State of New York. It's on the ocean and it's going to be great. I made a deal to build a regular building and all of a sudden the state wants me to do a green building. I could have challenged them, because I have my long- term lease. A new commissioner came in and just wanted a green building. It's much more expensive. The science has not been perfected yet and in some cases the savings cannot justify the huge cost. You spend a tremendous amount of money now, and it takes 40 years to get your money back. Even with the tax breaks it doesn't work financially. For example, if I use solar, I get my money back with the tax breaks in 12 years. It's a very hard thing to justify in terms of real estate right now. It's a long, long time before you get your money back. I think that will get better with technology.

For two-thirds of the afternoon game Pollorena gutted through a dangerous Golden Eagle order, limiting them to five hits and nothing on the scoreboard before handing it over to Caleb Reed to save 'n seal. In fact his only disappointment with his first NCAA tournament appearance was he couldn't complete the game. Or completely match what USM's sterling starter Todd McInnis did with a complete game.
And yes…Pollorena was really, really looking forward to testing himself against one of the best arms in the South.
"That was pretty much saying it's me against him," he said, adding "I felt like a wimp, I wanted to go nine innings! But he's a great pitcher and I was trying to match him pitch-for-pitch and not let them score."
There was nothing wimpy about Pollorena's outing as he handled the Eagles with poise beyond his college tenure. It was a return to the exciting form he had showed in two crucial SEC starts for wins at Tennessee and Ole Miss, after MSU coaches chose to take their best middle-relief lefty and let him get games going.
After a tough start against LSU, then a painful relief turn in the SEC Tournament against Florida, this was much, much more to Pollorena's liking.
"I was jus trying to keep it low, keep it low. And the wind helped me with a couple of misses. But it was stay below their barrels and get ground ball after ground ball." Or if absolutely necessary a few fly balls out to leftfield which, as Pollorena admitted, were contained more by the wind than the short Georgia Tech walls. Not that he'd been counting on this assistance, though.
"I didn't even know the wind was blowing in until that ball just died," he said, speaking of an off-the-bat rocket by USM righthander Mark Ellis that normally would have cleared all and scored three. It settled safely in the glove of Brent Brownlee instead.
"I was just trying to stay low and with a small park it makes you want to not miss, or get a big miss up high," he said. Pollorena got some unintended aid as well from Southern Miss batters who couldn't lay off his cutter and chopped them to infielders…or in one very key instant lined it right to SS Jonathan Ogden for a momentum-saving double-play.
"Our defense was phenomenal the whole game." By the same token Pollorena welcomed a 1-0 lead before he ever toed the rubber, after the MSU offense got to McInnis for a first-inning run. Just one, to be sure, but… "Especially in a regional game it's a lot of pressure. Once that run got in I felt some load come off. But I knew I had to get a zero in the first inning." He did, with five more to follow.
Coach John Cohen had considered other game-one matchups with McInnis and the Eagles, but after Pollorena's 5.2 scoreless relief innings back on April 5 against this same order the choice was ultimately made for him. So did other factors.
"You can't bunt off him, you can't run against him, he does so many little things well," said Cohen, before pausing. "I don't mean to get 'punny'!"
Yeah, about that. What might have most opponents not entirely respecting Pollorena is his stature, which is…by the way, what exactly is it? Pollorena is a level-headed guy but the one thing that rubs him wrong is the official listing of 5-6 in MSU's media guide.
"That's a lie! I'm 5-7 and one-half. Every time I see that 5-6…! They say C.T. (Bradford) is taller than me but that's a lie, I'm just as tall as him!"
He's not entirely joking here, because it was his size that limited college options two years ago. Programs like Texas and Miami looked him, ummm, over before telling Pollorena they just did not think he had the size for college pitching. Especially starting. That still galls the Lone Star son of Mexican parents.
"I use that as gas, for determination to show everybody that baseball is not about size. I don't have to carry anybody or tackle somebody, I just have to put the ball where it has to be." And he does that very well. He was probably bound for Troy last summer but Mississippi State went looking late in the recruiting process for another southpaw and found this one almost by chance in the juco playoffs.
"They saw the game via internet and that's when they started talking to me," Pollorena said. And ultimately signing him, because Cohen and Butch Thompson saw something special in this lefty. "He's an athlete on the mound, and he's a great competitor," Cohen said. Oh, and about that 'putting the ball where it has to be' bit, Pollorena has done that in another field. Another court, rather.
"He played high school basketball," Cohen proudly told the press corps. To which Pollorena nodded. "I was the center." Said in a complete dead-pan voice befitting his well-guarded sense of humor that only the folk who matter get to see most times.
"Our kids just rally around him," said Cohen. "Which is another reason you want him on the mound in a situation like this." For the record, Pollorena said he was the point guard and a passer-first because, well, he lacked three-point range.
"No, I can't shoot. Layups."
Don't think Pollorena is always a stone-face though. Moments after the win he was seen beyond the dugout hugging some fellows and posing for a picture, smiling for all the world to see. With good reason.
"My Dad and younger brother made the trip. It was about twenty hours. I was trying to pitch a good game just for them."
Well, not just for them. Pollorena and Reed threw a very good combined game indeed so Mississippi State could advance to Saturday's 7:00et winners bracket game with the opponent pending. And, hopefully, a nice long early summer run for this cool Texas Bulldog and club.

In our socially-driven world, it's not surprising that Facebook, Kik and Instagram posts, as well as other cloud data sources have the power to break criminal cases wide open. The challenge for forensic examiners is getting to that data quickly. Together with mobile device data, these sources often capture the details and critical connections investigators and prosecutors need to solve a wide variety of crimes. UFED Cloud Analyzer, the first tool of its kind, removes the roadblocks and red tape involved in getting access from cloud service providers, reducing valuable time and cost to investigations.
"Social media data is a headache to access from application providers, but is so critical now to forensics investigations," said Sgt. Andrew Weaver, Hartford, C.T., Police Department. "It can takes months to receive data with a warrant and then we do, it's challenging to review and uncover pertinent details – not to mention time consuming. UFED Cloud Analyzer gives us access to this data quickly so we don't lose valuable investigation time waiting."
Part of the UFED Pro Series exclusive and powerful investigative tool automatically collects both existing cloud data and metadata without the need for credentials, because the tool impersonates the phone in order to perform the extraction. It then packages this data in a forensically sound manner either in the field or the lab. This allows investigators to search, filter and sort data to quickly identify "Who?, When?, Where?" details to speed investigations from anywhere.
UFED Cloud Analyzer Retrieved Google Location Data as Key Evidence for an Investigation
The forensic practitioners already using this new tool are not only reaping its considerable rewards, but singing its praises.
"While assisting a local law enforcement agency with a recent criminal investigation, we were able to utilize Cellebrite UFED Cloud Analyzer to remotely collect Google location data pursuant to a search warrant," said Jim KempVanEe, Director of Digital Forensics.
LogicForce Consulting, Nashville, Tenn. "Within minutes of collecting the location data, we were able to confirm for the investigators that the suspect's phone was within feet of the 12 year old victim's home and we was able to trace the suspect's movements after he left the scene. All of this while another search warrant for location data sat idle at Google waiting to be processed. Great tool – thank you Cellebrite!"
Extract Insights Faster with New, Faster Capabilities
In the latest release of this tool, the capability to decode a cloud data account package from an Android device via a logical extraction just got even faster and more actionable. Investigators can now decide upfront which data should be extracted, selecting specific files and directories from cloud storage services including Google Drive and Dropbox. You can also now select a specific portion of email messages to access – headers only, headers and body without attachments, etc., helping to reduce investigative cycles.
Other key enhancements include the ability to:
- Extract detailed location information from a suspect or victim's private Google Location History, stored on Google cloud servers, allowing investigators to track all timestamped movements minute by minute
- Track and analyze a suspect's Facebook Likes and Events to get a better understanding of a suspect or victim's interests, opinions and daily activities
- Gain access to more Twitter connections, including pending requests either requested or received, to dive deeper into a suspect's relationships
- Reveal changes and/or discrepancies in images, videos and files stored in Google Drive and Dropbox
To learn more about how the UFED Cloud Analyzer and the UFED PRO Series can help you solve more cases quickly and accelerate investigations by gaining instant access to cloud data, contact your Cellebrite sales representative or visit http://www.cellebrite.com/Mobile-Forensics/Applications/ufed-cloud-analyzer

Aviate Beta's an intelligent launcher that simplifies your homescreen.
First, it auto-categorizes your installed apps and put them into "collections". The app drawer looks like a vertically scrollable bookshelf where each collection is a shelf. Secondly, there are the "spaces". Aviate automatically re-organizes your homescreen and make it look like Google Now card-like layout.
The good point is the layout changes throughout the day depending on the time and the situation you are supposed to be. It may fall shorter on themes, appearance customization and performance tweaks (still in beta though).

Axa Unit Is Ready To Settle With RegulatorDec 14, 2003 | www.ft.com
Alliance Capital, which is owned by Axa of France, is poised to become the second big mutual fund group to settle with regulators over allegations of improper trading in its fund shares, and possibly the first to pay a fine.
The group, which has not been charged, has been in settlement talks with both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the office of Eliot Spitzer, New York attorney-general.
Alliance has set aside $190m to cover the costs of the investigation the biggest amount of any fund group to date. It has reportedly offered more than $200m to regulators to settle the matter.
The SEC is negotiating for Alliance to pay a fine, which would make it the first fund group to do so. Putnam settled with the SEC but has not yet been fined. However, Mr Spitzer, who has recently put fees at the centre of his inquiry, has separately been negotiating for Alliance to lower its fees as part of its settlement.
The regulators are under pressure to arrive at a joint settlement after the furore caused by the SEC's unilaterally settling with Putnam last month. Mr Spitzer was publicly critical of that move, saying Putnam had been let off too lightly.
Alliance, which is one of the biggest fund managers in the US with $456bn in assets, has higher than average retail fees and some advisers had steered clear of its funds for this reason.
The average expense ratio per cent of assets charged by Alliance funds each year is about 1.8 per cent, compared with an average of 1.3 per cent of all funds, and less than 0.3 per cent charged by indexed funds such as Vanguard. This is before the funds' costs of trading, which is taken out of investors' money before their returns are tallied.
Alliance shares have fallen by 12 per cent since it was named as one of many funds to allow outside investors to arbitrage its fund shares, in contravention of its own policies which discouraged such market timing.
Investors pulled $790m from its mutual funds in November, but its assets rose slightly because the stock market continued to rise.
Five fund groups have been charged and at least another dozen remain under investigation by regulators over the scandal, the biggest to have hit the $7,000bn mutual funds industry in 60 years.
The Alliance settlement could be a blueprint for further settlements with companies such as Janus, which also have not been charged but have been named as having allegedly struck deals with market-timers.

"I'm surrounded by buffoons." ~ Mercurymon, about his fellow Evil Legendary Warriors
Mercurymon is one of the main villains in Digimon Frontier.
AppearanceEdit Edit
Mercurymon is a Human Hybrid Level Digimon that resembles a cross between a flamboyant marionette and a robot. His body is covered in mirrors with two on his forearms that serve as shields, two the front and back sides of his abdomen, and one for a face. The only facial features he posesses are a set of bright red lips which carry over to his beast spirit form.
PersonalityEdit Edit
Mercurymon is a crafty strategist, thinking of many strategies simultaneously. He always seen smiling diabolically, he is no doubt the most guileful, at least compared to the impulsive Ranamon. He has a fussy personality when it comes to precisely explaining methods of battle and such. He also likes to speak rather Shakespearean, using words like; Thee, thy, nay, etc.
Digimon FrontierEdit Edit
Mercurymon was one of the 5 Digimon that served Cherubimon. He always attacks his enemy's weak points but his behavior outside of calculations is brittle. One of his accomplishments was stealing Seraphimon's Fractal Code and using it himself to become ShadowSeraphimon. It seemed that Mercurymon was planning to betray Cherubimon by using Seraphimon's data for himself and make him stronger than Cherubimon, but it wasn't fully confirmed. Mercurymon was defeated finally by Aldamon. After Aldamon defeated Mercurymon, He attacked the DigiDestined in his Beast Spirit form Sakkakumon. Later Mercurymon later appeared as a purified Mercurymon at the Village of Beginnings, to help the other legendary warriors fight Crusadermon and Dynasmon. He also appeared when Susanoomon split into the ten Human Hybrids to slice through Lucemon Larva's body.
QuotesEdit Edit
- "What's fair for me, is deadly for thee." ~ Mercurymon, to Agunimon
- "That little whelp is much stronger than I remember." ~ Mercurymon, about Agunimon
- "Thou art doomed to failure before thou even start." ~ Mercurymon, to Agunimon
- "I can be anywhere, even behind thee." ~ Mercurymon
- "If only thy mouth were thy weapon, then truly thou couldst never be defeated." ~ Mercurymon
- "Seraphimon's fractal code, and it's all mine. With this, the Digital World shall bow before me. Ha ha ha ha ha!" ~ Mercurymon
TriviaEdit Edit
- Mercurymon is the only warrior who lost his human spirit before his beast spirit, as well as the only one that never Slide Digivolves.
- Mercurymon is voiced by Daran Norris, who also did the voice of Sakkakumon, ShadowSeraphimon, and did other voices such as Knock Out in Transformers Prime.

Like you, I am greatly concerned by skyrocketing energy prices and our nation's increasing dependence on foreign energy sources.
During the summer of 2008, gas prices rose to well over $4 per gallon. This should have been a wakeup call for our nation to put in place a sustainable energy policy, one that developed our own abundant supplies of oil, coal and natural gas. Instead, we have allowed the environmental groups to continue to block all our efforts, furthering our dependence on foreign energy sources which endangers our national security as well.
I support an all-of-the-above energy approach that includes more American produced oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear, along with alternative sources such as wind, solar, hydropower and geothermal. This will lower prices, create new American jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, strengthen our national security, and raise revenue to help tackle our nation's troubling national debt.
There are some immediate steps that our country can take to help alleviate the pain at the pump. First, we need to end the de facto drilling ban in the Gulf of Mexico that has been in place since the Deepwater Horizon explosion last year. Just a few weeks ago, the Obama Administration issued its first offshore drilling permit in more than a year. According to the administration's own estimates, the self imposed moratorium has resulted in 12,000 lost jobs. Rigs are actively leaving the Gulf of Mexico for foreign countries like Cuba, Brazil, and Mexico, and production in the Gulf has declined by nearly 300,000 barrels a day since last April. Until the de facto moratorium is fully lifted and permits are properly reviewed and fairly granted, we will continue to see rising energy costs and our dependence on foreign sources will continue.
According to the American Energy Alliance, expanding drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf could create 1.2 million jobs annually across the country and generate $8 trillion in economic output. While we need to increase both offshore and onshore production of our own American energy resources, the president has placed the entire Pacific Coast, Atlantic Coast and the Eastern Gulf off-limits to future energy production.
The administration also needs to lift regulations that have significantly decreased onshore oil and natural gas production. The Western U.S. holds more than half of the world's oil shale resources, which can be converted to crude oil using new technology. Estimates show that the region may hold more than 1.5 trillion barrels of oil - six times Saudi Arabia's proven resources - and enough to provide the U.S with energy for the next 200 years.
It is past time to be investing in our own American energy production, not a foreign country's. By tapping our own energy sources, we can help alleviate the pain you are feeling at the pump and lessen our nation's dependence on foreign energy sources. Certainly, we all can remember the summer of 2008 and the higher prices on everything we purchased as a result of higher gas prices. We are headed that way again.

text: Owensboro Owensboro Benefitting from Sports Tourism, with Several New Projects on Tap By Associated Press • Feb 25, 2013 visitowensboro.org Sports tourism is expected to have a $20 million impact on the Owensboro community this year. Jared Bratcher is sports marketing director for the Owensboro-Daviess County Convention & Visitors Bureau. He told the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer there will be more than 50 tournaments, including figure skating, hockey, baseball, running, soccer, softball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, fishing and football. There's some type of tournament in town every month and they will fill every hotel room in the city on 10 weekends this year. Merle Haggard to Headline Owensboro's 2013 R.O.M.P By Lisa Autry • Feb 14, 2013 International Bluegrass Music Museum Country music legend Merle Haggard will headline this year's Romp Festival near Owensboro. The three-day bluegrass festival is held as a fundraiser for the International Bluegrass Music Museum. Marketing Director Danny Clark says Haggard is sure to please with a mix of country and bluegrass. "I'm really glad he's coming because he has such a tie-in with bluegrass music. A lot of people know he actually recorded a bluegrass albumn a couple of years ago and had a lot of great performers on there with him," says Clark. The 76-year-old Haggard will be joined at ROMP by other legends like The Del McCoury Band and Sam Bush. This year's festival will be June 27th through 29th at Yellow Creek Park. The full lineup of performers and ticket information is available online at RompFest.com. "Unscripted" Regional Film Experience Wrapping Up in Owensboro By Kevin Willis • Feb 14, 2013 Rogue Cinema An independent filmmaker from Owensboro is wrapping up an effort to help spotlight other filmmaking talent in the region. "Unscripted: An Indie Film Xperience" is the brainchild of P.J. Starks, and is a collaboration between his film company and the Daviess County Public Library. The series of short films written, directed, and produced by filmmakers in the Owensboro-Daviess County region concludes Friday night. Starks says the series gives attendees the chance to see the local films, and then watch them again with the director offering live, interactive commentary. "It gives the public and the community an opportunity to see the types of talent and artistry we have in the area, and the types of films being made, because it really does run the gamut," says Starks. Sudden Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI Stuns Many Catholics, Including Owensboro Bishop By Joe Corcoran • Feb 11, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:59 After only eight years as the leader of the world's billions of Catholics, Pope Benedict XVI cited his advanced age and declining strength as he became only the second Pope in the last 600 years to resign. He made the announcement Monday morning at the Vatican. Joe Corcoran spoke with Bishop William Medley of the Diocese of Owensboro about Benedict's legacy, his time at the Vatican and what happens next. Owensboro's "Blue Bridge" to Close for Six Months By Associated Press • Feb 5, 2013 A rusting a faded bridge that connects Owensboro, Ky., to southern Indiana will close for around six months while it is painted. The Messenger-Inquirer reports Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne made the announcement Monday during a speech at the Owensboro-Daviess County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Payne said the $17 million paint job for the Glover H. Cary Bridge, known simply as the "blue bridge," would take up to two years if a lane is kept open for traffic, so officials decided to close it and get the job done quicker. He said the bridge would close in May after the International Bar-B-Q Festival and wouldn't "until they get it finished," which is expected to happen by November. "I kind of like that," Payne said of the shorter schedule. "Knock it out all at one time." OMHS President and CEO Resigns By Kevin Willis • Jan 29, 2013 The president and chief executive officer for Owensboro Medical Health System announced his resignation Tuesday. Jeff Barber made the announcement during meetings with the the OMHS management team and medical staff leadership. His retirement will begin July 26, following a nearly 40 year career in health care. Barber joined OMHS in 2004. A news release from OMHS says a search committee consisting of current and past board members will lead the search process for Barber's replacement. Water Line Break Shuts Down Owensboro High School By Associated Press • Jan 28, 2013 A break in 4-inch water line has forced the shutdown of Owensboro High School while repairs made by Owensboro Municipal Utilities. Workers discovered the break at 2:30 a.m. CDT. It was expected to be repaired by mid-morning Monday, but a boil water advisory -- standard procedure when a line is opened - was put into effect for the school only. The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer reported that only the school was affected and the break could be fixed by Tuesday. Utilities spokeswoman Sonya Dixon said city employees alerted OMU of the break, which was blamed on ground movement caused by freezing and thawing of recent days. Similar breaks in other parts of town have occurred for the same reason. WKYU-PBS to Profile Owensboro Filmmaker By Kevin Willis • Jan 24, 2013 Rogue Cinema Owensboro filmmaker P.J. Starks is set to launch a new film series called "Unscripted Xperience", which allows audiences to meet and offer live commentary with filmmakers and actors. Starks donates to charity most of the money raised from the events, and he hopes the "Xperience" will help raise the profile of independent filmmakers in the Daviess County region. WKYU-PBS is planning to tape the Feb. 1 film series session and produce a piece for the program Main Street that will likely air in early March. The Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer has this profile piece of Starks and his upcoming film series. More Jobs On The Way To Owensboro By Joe Corcoran • Jan 23, 2013 Unique Granite and Marble Inc. plans to expand their manufacturing operations in Owensboro, creating 25 new full-time jobs and investing $400,000 in the project. Unique Granite and Marble has been manufacturing custom granite and quartz countertops in Owensboro since 2004 after transitioning from home building and remodeling. The company currently employs 28. With the expansion, the company plans to establish a new division to produce countertops for large commercial and multi-family units throughout a six state region. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $250,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets. Daviess County Making List of Homes Without Water Line Connections By Associated Press • Jan 22, 2013 Officials in Daviess County have begun making a list of every household without water. Daviess Judge-Executive Al Mattingly told the Messenger-Inquirer that the move is aimed at making the county the first in the state to have every home connected to water lines. He said funding is available from the state to help pay for the extensions, and the county hopes to partner with rural water districts and homeowners to get lines extended. Community Services Director Nate Pagan says he is making a list of homes that aren't connected and is asking those who want service to contact him at 270-685-8424, or email@example.com. The Messenger-Inquirer reports the 2012 General Assembly approved $160,000 in coal severance funds for extending waterlines to homes in Daviess County that are currently reliant on well weather. Owensboro Mayor: City Needs to Remove Barriers to Business By Associated Press • Jan 14, 2013 A western Kentucky city plans to have a panel determine whether it can make things easier for businesses looking to locate or expand in the area. Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne told the Messenger-Inquirer that he's heard several complaints from the business community and this is an attempt to see if there are problems and, if so, how best to address them. "Ever since I've been mayor, I've heard complaints about problems with planning and zoning and other requirements, or difficulties dealing with City Hall, and given the amount of business activity we have and what I anticipate will occur, we want to make sure it is as easy as possible to do business," Payne said recently in calling for the appointment of a Commission on Business Development. He said the group would talk to developers and business owners to see what kind of problems they have when they attempt to open or expand a business and determine whether issues really exist. Former President Clinton to Headline Fundraiser in Owensboro By Kevin Willis • Jan 10, 2013 Wendell H. Ford GEC Former President Bill Clinton is coming to Owensboro this spring for a benefit fundraiser. The Messenger-Inquirier reports the event will raise funds to support the Wendell H. Ford Government Education Center. Ford served in the U.S. Senate from 1974 to 1999, and was Democratic Whip the first six years of Clinton's presidencies. President Clinton has appeared in Daviess County before—in 2000, he presented an education award to Audubon Elementary School, and he campaigned at Kentucky Wesleyan College in 2008 on behalf of his wife, Hillary Clinton, who was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. The Ford Government Education Center is located downtown in the Owensboro Museum of Science and History, and has displays of pictures, artifacts, and documents from Ford's political career. Owensboro Hospital in Need of More Doctors By Lisa Autry • Jan 8, 2013 OMHS Based on a study, the Owensboro region needs additional primary care physicians. Owensboro Medical Health System is recruiting two dozen doctors this year to meet the needs of the hospital's service area in western Kentucky and southern Indiana. The local economy stands to benefit. OMHS spokesman Gordon Wilkerson says physician recruitment is much like starting a small business. "A physician is going to, just by effect, bring patients and that creates jobs in other areas like nurses, x-ray technicians, pharmacists, and so forth," said Wilkerson. Owensboro Bluegrass Music Center Close to $3M Goal from Donors By Associated Press • Jan 7, 2013 Kevin Willis Officials say private fundraising for a planned Bluegrass Music Center in Daviess County is going well. International Bluegrass Music Museum Terry Woodward says the drive has received pledges from large donors for $2.6 million and expects to reach a $7 million goal. The proposal calls for turning an old state office building in Owensboro into a center that will include a museum, an indoor theater and outdoor festival seating. Woodward has said organizers want to offer fans a Bluegrass Opry, something akin to the Grand Old Opry in Nashville, Tenn. A major fundraising drive kicked off in August, and four months later Woodward updated officials in Owensboro on the progress. "I'm happy to report that of the $3 million goal from large donors, right now we have $2.6 million," Woodward told commissioners last month. "We're off to a good start." Daviess County Rep. Hoping for Redistricting, Better Interstate Connectivity for Owensboro By Kevin Willis • Jan 3, 2013 City of Owensboro A lawmaker representing Daviess and Ohio counties hopes legislators will tackle redistricting during this upcoming General Assembly--as opposed to putting it off until 2014. Democratic Representative Tommy Thompson of Owensboro told WKU Public Radio the sooner new legislative boundaries are created, the better. "And that way people would know what districts they're going to be working in. If there are new districts, they'd have time to acquaint themselves with new constituents in their district. So I just think that we'd be better served to deal with it sooner rather than later," said Thompson. Kentucky lawmakers created new legislative maps last year, but the new boundaries were found to be unconstitutional, meaning legislators have to start from scratch. Thompson says he wouldn't be surprised if lawmakers tackled the redistricting issue during a special session after the official 2013 legislature is over. Many lawmakers believe the worst-case scenario would be waiting until the 2014 session to redraw the lines, because a new state budget will already be taking up a great deal of legislators' attention that year. Possible Interstate Connections for Owensboro/Daviess County Region Business and political leaders in the Daviess County region are trying to figure out the best--and most cost-effective--way possible to link the area up with an interstate. Rep. Thompson says he's excited about the possibility of connecting the region to the I-67 project in Indiana. Pages« first ‹ previous … 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 next › last »

1.) Most Popular / Provocative: Big Sean - Control (Prod. No. I.D.)
ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica
There's already been a huge amount of dialogue about Kendrick's verse, so we'll keep it simple. However you feel about his approach, he definitely shook the rap game up and switched the focus to raw lyricism, at least for the time being. The general consensus is that his name dropping was more of a call to arms than a diss, but either way, none of those mentioned have directly responded in rhyme yet (although many who weren't have come out the woodwork).
Jay Electronica verses are both consistently dope and rare, and you know we have to give him his props. He adds a layer of intellect and spirituality to an otherwise ruthless track and closes it nicely. Sean does his thing, but there's nothing spectacular about his bars, which is amplified by the calibre of both Kendrick and Jay's verses. He seems unfazed, though, and breaks down the track in the Vibe interview above.
It was hip-hop's 40th anniversary on Sunday, and it seems only right that such an impactful track dropped. It'd be nice if we could get back to some of the fundamentals of the culture.
How do y'all feel about it as a whole?
[Excerpt: Big Sean]
Swear the flow's special like an infant's first steps
I got paid to reverse debts
Then I finally found a girl that reverses stress
So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
Yep, so I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried
Show him the house I bought the fam', let him tour inside
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
In my mind... but fuck tryin' and not doin'
'Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
I said fuck tryin' and not doin'
'Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
I grew up to Em, B.I.G. and Pac, bitch, and got ruined
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that 'Juicy' vid
Bitch, I can't motherfuckin' stop movin'
Go against me, you won't stop losin'
[Excerpt: Kendrick Lamar]
I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
And if you're in it, better run, for Pete's sake
I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
'Bout who's the best emcee - Kendrick, Jigga and Nas?
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
White Ts and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' wit
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
[Excerpt: Jay Electronica]
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
Put your trust in the Lord, but tether your Chevy Nova
I'm spittin' this shit for closure
And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
To all you magicians that's fidgeting with the cobra
I'm silent as a rock, 'cause I came from a rock
That's why I came with the rock, then signed my name on the Roc
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
'Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
And the tissue is like an angel kissin' you in the dark
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
Right to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
Jay Electricity - PBS mysteries
In a lofty place tangling with Satan over history
You can't say shit to me - Alhamdulillah
It's strictly by faith that we made it this far

(Due to sampling issues, "Control" will not be included on Sean's upcoming Hall Of Fame album. Also, the vocal sample is a revolutionary slogan chanted in Portuguese which means "the people united will never be defeated".)

Timothy A. Connolly 3rd
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (October 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Timothy A. Connolly 3rd (born May 27, 1958), aka "Timmy Connolly" and "TC", is a former South Boston bar owner and mortgage broker, who wore a wire inside the infamous Winter Hill Gang and helped the federal government indict their two leaders, James "Whitey" Bulger and Stephen Flemmi ("The Rifleman"). The public was led to believe that Tim Connolly was merely a businessman and an innocent victim of one of Jim Bulger's many extortions. But in truth, Tim Connolly was secretly a "made member" of the Winter Hill gang and a high ranking lieutenant in this Bulger crime family.
The Winter Hill Gang[edit]
The Winter Hill gang, aka "The Irish Mob", is an Irish American crime family (with Italian American associates) operating in the region of Boston, Massachusetts, dating back to the early 1960s. The Winter Hill gang was considered one of the most ruthless and violent white gangs in America. It operated for thirty years; running a portion of Boston's gambling rackets, drugs and did "brutal hits" for the Patriarca crime family (the New England Mafia), until its two leaders were indicted in January 1995.
Tim Connolly was an early protege of Stevie Flemmi, a renowned homicidal maniac of Italian descent. Beginning as a teenager in the mid 1970s, Connolly went to work for Flemmi, collecting gambling receipts and moving marijuana. Over the next decade, Connolly worked his way up from the bottom to the top spot below Bulger and Flemmi. From 1984 through 1994, Connolly operated several legitimate and illegitimate businesses which fronted for the Irish mob. In addition, Connolly ran his own criminal crew, which offered protection, loan sharking, gambling and drug distribution. Connolly was a close associate of both Flemmi and Bulger, having been seen with them on hundreds of occasions by Drug Enforcement Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents performing surveillance. Connolly was one of only two lieutenants who met daily with Bulger and Flemmi. The other was Bulger's driver and bodyguard, Kevin Weeks.
Stevie Flemmi was arrested in Boston on January 5, 1995, one week prior to the release of a 37-count racketeering indictment against both he and Bulger. Flemmi has not been released from prison since. He is serving consecutive life sentences in a witness protection prison for his admitted participation in the murders of 10 people including two women. It is rumored that Flemmi committed over 50 murders himself and is responsible for the death of over 100 people, mostly career criminals.[1]
Jim Bulger was tipped off by corrupt FBI agent John Connolly before the indictments came down and fled Boston. Since the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act indictments, Jim Bulger has also been charged with twenty murders. He has been a federal fugitive for thirteen years. He is the FBI's Most Wanted American fugitive and overall, second only to Osama bin Laden on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. There is a $2 million reward for information leading to the arrest of James "Whitey" Bulger.
Tim Connolly was shot in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood in an apparent assassination attempt in November 1994. Two weeks later, entering the Federal Courthouse on crutches, he provided crucial testimony to a grand jury that resulted in the racketeering indictments against Bulger and Flemmi. Connolly entered the Witness Protection Program in December 1994 but is rumored to have been "kicked out" within two years. He is believed to be "banned from Boston" as part of his deal with the United States Department of Justice. He has not been seen in Boston in over a decade. Unlike Winter Hill Associates Kevin Weeks, John "Red" Shea, Eddie Mackenzie and Pat Nee, Connolly has turned down several book deals and offers to be interviewed. He is rumored to be completing his life inside the Irish mob.
Who brought down Bulger and Flemmi?[edit]
After the 1995 indictments of Flemmi and Bulger, there was widespread speculation as to who was responsible for bringing down these mob bosses.
A front page Boston Globe article stated:
- "Timothy A. Connolly 3d, a one time proprietor of a South Boston bar frequented by ne'er-do-wells, emerged as a crucial witness against Bulger, accusing Bulger of menacing him with a knife while extorting money.
- "Apparently (Connolly) worked as an informant for the FBI for several years before joining Chico Krantz and other bookie, Jimmy Katz, in the Witness Protection Program. In a deal brokered by then-U.S. Attorney John Pappalardo in 1991, Timothy A. Connolly 3d, (who owned the Corner Cafe.) became an FBI informant when he could not make his alleged extortion payments to Kevin Weeks, a close Bulger associate.
- "Connolly, who worked for a Waltham mortgage company, was pushed into investigator's arms, according to interviews and court records, simply because he took too long to help a drug trafficker in South Boston pay off a $40,000 debt to Bulger.
- "Connolly was summoned to the back room of the Rotary Variety store in South Boston in July 1989. And it was there, according to a court affidavit, that Bulger threw caution to the wind and did his own dirty work, menacing Connolly by drawing a long knife from a sheath on his leg, punctuating a tirade by stabbing nearby boxes and waving the blade around Connolly's face. Connolly was purportedly "fined" $50,000 that was to be split between Bulger and Weeks. Two years later, Connolly went to the U.S. Attorney's office and is now a cooperating witness who is believed to have worn a body wire around town last year.[2]
- For all intents and purposes, Whitey Bulger was untouchable until an incident that allegedly occurred one night in 1989. Late in the evening, Whitey allegedly arrived at his "office" behind the liquor store, to take care of some unfinished business. Reportedly, Whitey's associate, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, stood waiting inside. Their guest of honor was a local tavern owner named Tim Connolly, whom Whitey had allegedly targeted for extortion. Two days later, after Whitey had allegedly threatened Tim Connolly, Tim did the only thing he felt he could do. He returned to the liquor store with $25,000 cash. But Connolly also did something else. He went to the FBI. They, in turn, began building a case against the so-called "Don of South Boston." Connolly provided authorities with the evidence needed to build up a federal racketeering case against Bulger.[3]
- "'Timothy Connolly... had a simple story of extortion to tell about Bulger putting a knife to his throat for money. But the U.S. Attorney's Office tried to turn Tim Connolly's solid single into a home run. They constructed an elaborate plan to infiltrate Bulger's financial operation... U.S. Attorney A. John Pappalardo decided to use Tim Connolly to get into Bulger's finances. He turned Tim Connolly over to two handpicked FBI agents who had no ties to John Connolly. They wired the mortgage broker as a way to get an inside look at Bulger's money laundering.'"[4]
In 1997, it was publicly revealed that Jim Bulger and Stevie Flemmi were secret, Top Echelon FBI informants, ratting on the New England Mafia, while conducting murder and mayhem under the FBI's nose.[5]
The ensuing FBI scandal, involving Bulger and Flemmi, has been called "one of the greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement" and quite possibly "the biggest scandal in FBI history."[6]
"Memos show that for more than twenty years, FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. knew that Boston agents were using hit men and mob leaders as informants and shielding them from prosecution for serious crimes, including murder."[7]
As a result of this huge scandal, Tim Connolly was mostly forgotten on purpose. No one at the Department of Justice wanted to talk publicly about Bulger and Flemmi. Many of the Boston FBI agents involved in the Bulger and Flemmi case retired. Federal agents were forbidden to talk publicly about the case because of liability and potential obstruction of justice. But in 2003, the federal government quietly confirmed what had been rumored. Ex-FBI Special Agent (retired), John Gamel, Connolly's FBI handler and Supervisor of Organized Crime, appeared in front of a Congressional subcommittee and stated for the record:
- "... the case against (James "Whitey" Bulger) started in July 1990, when Tim Connolly was referred to the FBI by Tom Reilly, a private attorney. Connolly was a mortgage broker who prepared fraudulent mortgage schemes for associates of James "Whitey" Bulger. Connolly informed the FBI that James "Whitey" Bulger had personally extorted $50,000 from him and that he had been "shook down" in the backroom of a liquor store with a knife to his chest."[6]
Early life[edit]
Connolly was born and raised in Roxbury, Massachusetts, USA, the hometown of Stevie Flemmi. He is the youngest of three children. His father is Irish-American and his mother is Italian (Sicilian). Like Flemmi and several other members of the Winter Hill, Connolly grew up in the Orchard Park projects, one of the first low-income housing projects in Boston. At age 12, Connolly's family moved over the city line into a working class section of Milton, a wealthy suburb of Boston. At age 15, Tim Connolly befriended a high school classmate, Billy Hussey, Stevie Flemmi's biological son. Connolly met "Stevie" and their relationship grew from there. Flemmi would ultimately become Connolly's mentor and boss for the next three decades.
Connolly graduated from Milton High School in 1976, where he was captain of the basketball team, earning all star honors. He attended Bridgeton Academy, Maine for a post graduate year. In September 1977 Connolly entered Boston College on a partial basketball scholarship. He quit before the season started. Connolly graduated from BC in 1981.
Criminal career[edit]
In June 1976, Connolly joined up with Stevie Flemmi's "other gang", nicknamed "the Rox" for their hometown. He drove bales of marijuana in a U-Haul truck from south Florida to Boston under the guise of being a college student moving home. Connolly continued this practice throughout college, earning as much as $10,000 per load at the end, when they started adding cocaine to the mix. His criminal career as a drug trafficker was off and running. During college he ran a sports card gambling operation at ten colleges for Flemmi. He distributed "gaming cards" and collected cash from his dealers. By 1978 he was working as a bouncer at Flemmi's nightclubs. Then he started collecting debts for Flemmi's loan sharking business. A part-time job at a South Boston jewelry store put him in touch with Flemmi's partner, Jim Bulger, beginning in 1978.
Connolly was officially "made" into the Winter Hill gang in 1984. With Flemmi's backing, he purchased a South Boston bar called the Broadway Casino and renamed it Connolly's Corner Cafe. The 3C's, as it was known in Southie, would quickly become a Winter Hill gangster front and hangout, a place from which the Irish mob ran bookmaking, loan sharking and eventually cocaine. In 1985, Connolly bought into New Boston Mortgage, a legitimate Boston area mortgage broker. Here, he developed his expertise in creating fraudulent real estate loans for Winter Hill associates. From 1985 to 1994, Connolly ran a real estate rehabilitation business with Frankie "The Flame" Fraine, a renowned arsonist, insurance scam artist and Winter Hill associate. Together they used Bulger and Flemmi's contacts to renovate condemned properties and launder cash for the mob. According to DEA sources, Connolly was believed to have been "the bank", the financing arm for the South Boston cocaine ring, lending cash to associates who actually bought and distributed the drugs. This kept Bulger and Flemmi at a safe distance from the actual drug dealing activity but not far from the profits. Connolly laundered millions of dollars in drug and gambling proceeds through a variety of real estate and off-shore banking schemes. He was a millionaire before age 30.
A May 2001 Boston Globe expose on "Mobster Chronicles" referenced Tim Connolly as the real deal, a true gangster, unlike "Eddie Mackenzie, a wannabe gangster who was never part of Bulger's inner circle."
Globe writers Shelley Murphy and Judy Rakowsky state "Timothy Connolly, a former associate of Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, said "I was down in the dirt with these guys. I know."[8]
Tim Connolly is a former basketball player, standing six foot six, with broad shoulders and a barrel chest. He has reddish blond, fine hair and a classic Italian nose.
History of violence[edit]
Connolly's business acumen was well known to people in South Boston, many of whom referred to him as "one of South Boston's new millionaires." Yet, Connolly's brutal, violent side made him a perfect fit for the ruthless Irish mob. He had a reputation for having a "hair trigger" and pulling a gun without hesitation. He was well known for bare knuckles bar room brawling and gun violence. Much of his criminal record has been expunged but Connolly reputedly had over twenty "assault and battery" arrests.
Connolly was the subject of Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police and DEA investigations dating all the way back to 1977. His rap sheet lists a number of violent offenses ranging from Assault, Assault and Battery, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon including Pistol Whipping, Attempted Murder, Threatening a Witness and Extortion. In addition, he was charged with dozens of lesser offenses ranging from To Wit the Sped of Beasts (Running a Gambling Operation), Selling Stolen Merchandise and Drug Dealing. In almost all cases, the charges were dropped or dismissed without a finding. Connolly was a suspect in over twenty homicides in the Boston area but has never been officially charged with murder.
Connolly was considered a serious threat both inside and outside the Irish mob because of his large following, his contacts within the La Cosa Nostra (LCN) and his ability to pull people together from other gangs to form his own gang. Connolly is half Italian on his mother's side and has strong Sicilian roots. He has several cousins and relatives who were made men in La Cosa Nostra. One cousin was a highly respected LCN "banker" who wielded considerable power and influence throughout Boston. This "cousin" mentored Tim in real estate and other business. As a result, Connolly was known to have frequent contact with Frank Salemme.
In 1990, a 45-person Organized Crime Task Force was initiated by the DEA, Massachusetts State Police, FBI, Internal Revenue Service, Boston Police and U.S. Customs, with the goal of putting Connolly in jail. It was believed that his business operations were "the straw that linked all of Bulger and Flemmi's activities with the LCN." (La Cosa Nostra) As a result, Connolly was under 24-hour surveillance and the subject of numerous federal wiretaps.
An August 19, 1990 front page article from the Boston Herald titled "Feds taped alleged coke boss" referenced a phone conversation between John "Red" Shea and Tim Connolly, which was recorded by the DEA. The Herald article suggested that "Red" Shea was South Boston's coke boss but Connolly was much higher up in the Winter Hill than Shea or any other drug dealers. The taped conversation was about a questionable real estate loan which Connolly secured for South Boston drug dealer, Thomas Cahill, who was part of the South Boston narcotics distribution network.
- "John "Red" Shea was among 51 people charged in four separate indictments last week with working for four cocaine rings that allegedly smuggled the drug in from Florida and sold it on the city streets. In an August 30, 1989 (phone) conversation, Timothy Connolly complained to Shea that Rooney called Monarch Mortgage-which wrote (Thomas) Cahill's loan and told them his property was "overfinanced by 130 percent." Rooney told the company "It was a bogus deal and a bogus appraisal" claimed Connolly, owner of Connolly's Corner Cafe in South Boston. "he ratted on me and Tom (Cahill).
Shea offered to "go down right now and tell him to shut his (expletive) mouth or I'll shut it permanently." Connolly said "that would be the nicest thing to do."[9]
Red Shea was found guilty of cocaine dealing and served 12 years in prison. He was released in 2002.[10]
Top-echelon FBI informant[edit]
|This section possibly contains original research. (December 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Coincident with the South Boston cocaine indictments and the Boston Herald article, Tim Connolly received reliable information that he was being "set up by Bulger and Flemmi" with the DEA. As a result, Connolly sought legal advice and counsel from private attorney Thomas Reilly. Reilly was working in private practice while running his campaign for Middlesex County District Attorney. Later, as Middlesex DA, Reilly would aggressively prosecute both Bulger and Flemmi from 1991 to 1994. It was Reilly who developed the legal strategy against Bulger and Flemmi that used bookmakers to help make the case under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Tom Reilly would eventually be elected Massachusetts Attorney General and served from 1999 to 2007.
After hearing Connolly's story, Reilly put him together with the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, A. John Pappalardo. After some legal wrangling and a grant of immunity, Connolly agreed to become a top-echelon informant on Bulger and Flemmi. His top-secret operation was dubbed "Close Shave" or "Clean Shave" by his FBI handlers. They figured that Bulger would slit Connolly's throat if he ever found out he was wearing a wire and recording conversations. Connolly reportedly wore a wire for four years, gathering evidence, while the government's case was slowed by ex-FBI agent John Connolly and corruption within the Boston FBI office.
The "Other Connolly"[edit]
Tim Connolly is not to be confused with corrupt ex-FBI Special Agent John Connolly, who shares the same spelling of their last name. John Connolly is accused of accepting $235,000 in cash and gifts from Bulger and Flemmi during the 1980s in return for providing them with tips and information on ongoing police and federal investigations.[11] In addition, ex-Agent Connolly reputedly "fingered" Winter Hill associates and gang members, who were informing on Bulger and Flemmi. A number of known informants were murdered including Richie Castucci, Brian Halloran, John Callahan and John McIntyre.
According to court records, "in 1988 or 1989, (FBI) Agent John Connolly indirectly warned Stephen Flemmi through James Bulger that alleged extortion victim Timothy Connolly was cooperating with the FBI and would attempt to record conversations with Flemmi."[12]
John Connolly was reportedly paid "ten grand" for this information on Tim Connolly. John Connolly is serving a ten-year, 2002 federal prison sentence, for racketeering and obstruction of justice. John Connolly was indicted in May 2008 for the murder of John Callahan, a Miami gaming executive with ties to the Winter Hill. John Connolly is currently on trial for capital murder in Miami, Florida.

Hi All
I have a problem with one of my Clients servers. The server freezes about 1 in every 3 evenings sometime between 2AM and 6AM, not always at the same time. The server become non-responsive and needs to be reset. Mouse cursor still moves.
It never ever freezes during the day.
There are times that it will go 2 weeks without freezing and sometimes it will freeze every night.
Any advice on where to start troubleshooting

Check scheduled tasks to see if there is anything running unexpectedly at night. Do you have a backup job running during this time?
Mar 16, 2009 at 2:15 UTC
I checked the Scheduled tasks. Nothing unexpected.
I do run the standard SBS backup overnight. It is only backing up the system state and the exchange. All user folders and shared folders I backup with Cobian Backup due to the SBS backup being too slow to backup then in the after hours window.

Look for a correlation between the crashes and the backup jobs. It is possible that the backup is doing something that is causing the system to hang. I had the same thing on Solaris once. Turned out that the backup transfer was too memory intensive and was causing the box to hang.
Mar 17, 2009 at 1:53 UTC
Assuming for the moment the cause of the problem is the NTBackup program. Is there a free alternative backup I can use in the short term to test the theory?
Can I use something like Cobian (a free backup tool that supports volume shadow copy) to backup the exchange? Is it as simple as backing up the exchange data folder?

I'm afraid that I am no expert on Exchange backups. I believe that you can do Exchange backups using any number of free tools that will work pretty well but I will defer to someone with a bit more experience in that exact area. I know that the commercial version of Amanda has an Exchange client that is not available with the free version, however :(
Here is some general information about Exchange backups.
