Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/8/2014 (1116 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I went looking for a gun Friday.
What I found made the curious death of Andrew Baryluk even more puzzling.
That's because a full day after the police-involved incident, the notoriously tight-lipped Winnipeg Police Service was saying even less than normal. Which says a lot about how sensitive the case is.
What we do know is there were shots fired during the 17-hour siege.
A police news release issued Thursday stated "shortly after 8:20 p.m. shots were fired from within the residence, resulting in officers discharging their firearms."
When my Free Press colleague Mike McIntyre emailed police to ask if they were 100 per cent certain shots were fired from inside the residence and towards officers, the response was terse.
"Refer to news release."
But, even after an autopsy, police won't share how he died.
Not even with his family.
What we also know -- because of McIntyre's reporting -- is the tactical unit suspected early on the 53-year-old was armed when he barricaded himself inside the only home he ever lived in and where he vowed he would rather die than be evicted. We know police suspected he was armed because a relative informed them Baryluk said he wouldn't leave.
And he had a gun.
The relative thought it was a vintage rifle Baryluk's father had owned.
That prompts the obvious question.
Was a firearm found at the Stella Avenue house police finally stormed?
Police won't say.
"Forms part of the investigation," they told McIntyre via email, "and we will not be able to comment at this time."
What we now know, though, is if there was a gun, it wasn't the father's vintage rifle.
I found the rifle Friday at Bill Baryluk's West End house.
Bill said he took it out of his brother's house on Stella Avenue years ago. Then he showed it to me.
Bill had been curious about the location of guns when police called while the standoff on Stella was only a few hours old.
He said police asked him if his brother had any firearms in his house.
Bill didn't know of any.
And the two brothers were close.
They met every Saturday, sometimes over a cold beer in Bill's backyard. Of course it makes sense for police involved in a standoff with an emotionally disturbed person to ask relatives if he had weapons in the house.
What's curious, though, is they asked the same question after the incident was over and Andrew Baryluk was dead.
Bill said two detectives came by and asked again if his brother had guns in house.
You'd think by that time, the police would be telling Bill, not asking him,
I had a question of my own that I emailed police Friday.
"Is the WPS bringing in an outside agency to conduct the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Andrew Baryluk?"
I had to ask, even if the answer was predictable.
"No. The armed and barricaded investigation on Stella is being conducted by the homicide unit. As with any officer-involved shooting investigation, an outside agency will be tasked to review the original investigation."
Police investigating themselves in an officer-related fatality has never been good enough. Reviewing evidence already gathered is no better.
I would have hoped Winnipeg police Chief Devon Clunis would have made an effort to do more than the same old, same old. That he might have followed the lead of the RCMP in the recent shooting in Norway House and called in an out-of-province police agency.
Soon, the Winnipeg Police Service won't have any choice but to give up control of investigating themselves in these kinds of serious officer-related cases.
Not soon enough, though.
Zane Tessler has been the executive director of the province's independent investigations unit for more than a year. The unit was prompted by the unprofessional way police investigated themselves in the death of Crystal Taman. When I reached Tessler Friday afternoon, he was on his way to the dentist for a root canal. I'm sure he would rather have been deep into the Baryluk case.
The problem is the unit has an office, and Tessler has hired managers and support staff, but nearly six years after the unit was created by provincial legislation, it still isn't ready to relieve police of the perceived and real conflict of investigating itself.
And the Selinger government says it won't be until March 2015.
The Baryluk family has a right to be angry about dithering that has caused the delay.
So do those more enlightened members of the Winnipeg Police Service who best understand why it's so needed.

Flavor infused oils make a great gift for the holidays or any time of year. They're perfect for a house warming party when you don't feel like giving yet another bottle of wine.
Use a plain olive oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil for making infusions. They're flavorless, keep for a long time, and heat well so they won't hinder or mask the flavors you're trying to create. Extra virgin olive oil is best for salad dressings or for dipping and should be used within a few days.
For a great sight with tips on infusing oils check out this page on The Accidental Scientist, The Science of Cooking.
Here are three great basic recipes for homemade infused oils. Mix and match herbs and spices to create more interesting flavors. See below the recipes for custom designed gift labels.
Lemon Oil
Great for salad dressings and marinades. Works best poured into small decorative bottles with a stopper. Can be kept on the shelf out of sunlight for up to 2 months. For longer use keep in the refrigerator.
Makes about 2 cups or 4 portions of 1/2 cup
2 cups canola oil or olive oil
the peel of 2 medium sized lemons
Peel lemon being careful not to include any pith. A vegetable peeler works well. In a medium heavy sauce pan over low heat combine oil and lemon peel. Cook uncovered until aromatic, about 1 hour. Do not let oil boil. Remove from heat and cool to room temp. Remove lemon peel and pour into containers.
Can be kept cool for up to 2 months. Bring to room temp before using.
Chili Oil
A great gift for anyone obsessed with Sriracha! Chili oil works best gifted in a small jar so it can be stirred before using. Best kept in the refrigerator and will last for several months.
Makes about 4 portions of 1/4 cup
1 cup peanut oil
1-4 Tbs. chili flakes depending on how spicy you want to go
Heat oil with red-pepper flakes in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, swirling pan occasionally, until red-pepper flakes begin to sizzle, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour into a heatproof bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir before using.
Oil keeps, covered and chilled, 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.
Rosemary Oil
Wonderful for drizzling over a dish as a finishing touch. Basil, chive or thyme also make for great infusions. Looks best when gifted in small bottles with a stopper. If you're planning on keeping a spring in the bottle it is best to keep refrigerated for up to 2 months.
Makes about 2 cups or 4 1/2 cup portions
2 cups vegetable oil
2-3 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary
Pour rosemary and half the oil into a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Heat on medium until herbs just start to sizzle, about 5 minutes. Do not boil the oil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temp. Taste the oil to make sure it hasn't burned and the flavor is to your liking. Add the remaining oil and strain into jars or bottles.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Bring to room temp before using.
Print sheets on card stock or a heavier weight paper for best results. Cut out around edge and punch hole. Tie labels to bottles and jars with a festive ribbon and write your holiday greeting on the back.

A HUGE ''dome of heat'' over Australia has broken temperature records and set the scene for dangerous fire conditions to last for days across large parts of the country.
Australia is likely to have posted a record average maximum on Monday, beating the previous high of 40.17 degrees set on December 21, 1976, said Karl Braganza, manager of climate monitoring at the Bureau of Meteorology.
Dr Braganza said that while such records ''are hard to break'' and the bureau is yet to complete its analysis of the numbers, the long-standing high will probably be exceeded.
''It's likely to just beat it,'' Dr Braganza said.
The heatwave continues to envelop a huge region, stretching from northern Victoria and inland New South Wales, up to Birdsville, across to north-western Western Australia and down to the Nullarbor coast.
''It's just an extensive dome of heat over the continent,'' Dr Braganza said.
Figures for Sunday showed the country had posted its fifth day in a row of average maximums above 39 degrees - a new record that was extended to six days on Monday.
Tuesday is likely to make seven days in a row, with Sydney copping its first full blast from the heatwave as the mercury is tipped to hit 43 degrees.
There may be some relief on Wednesday before the heat returns towards the end of the week.
Before the spate of high temperatures, Australia had seen only four days of 39 degrees or higher in a row and only three such days twice, Dr Braganza said.
''It's just the strip along the coast that's cool,'' he said.
The bureau remains on alert for a possible record exceeding the 50.7 degrees set at Oodnadatta Airport on January 2, 1960.
Among Monday's high temperatures: Oodnadatta (SA) 47.5; Port Augusta (SA) 45.7; Moomba (SA) 45.5; Wilcannia (NSW) 45.0; Ivanhoe (NSW) 45.3; Leonora (WA) 46.1; Forrest (WA) 44.1; Warburton (WA) 46.5; Mandora (WA) 44.2; Urandangi (Qld) 42.5 Birdsville (Qld) 44.8; Swan Hill (Vic) 43.3.

Twilight Zone RobberyMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Brothers Jim and Mike Marshall owned and operated a jewelry exchange aptly named J&M Precious Jewel Exchange which had been left to them in their Father's Will. Although their large inventory consisted of various precious stones from all over the world, diamonds were the mainstay and specialty of the business. Due to the high values placed on their inventory, certain security precautions had been implemented by one of the leading security companies to prevent thefts.
The security system was very high tech and designed to thwart any robbery attempts. It had been specially designed for the Exchange and the habits of the two brothers. Jim had always been very bad at misplacing his keys and Mike was extremely forgetful when it came to remembering security codes. Therefore, the security company had installed a system that was activated when either Jim or Mike placed their right hand on the entry pad thus eliminating the need for keys or security codes. All was well until..............
One morning Jim arrived at work and discovered that they had been robbed sometime in the night. The alarm had not been disarmed and had not gone off. There were no visible signs of forced entry. Everything was as he had left it the night before when he set the alarm and left - except that the inventory had been almost completely wiped out. He immediately called the authorities and then called his brother, who was out of the country on a short vacation for the last week.
Detective Jones received a call to respond to a robbery at the Exchange and arrived a short time later. Detective Jones routinely put on a pair of standard issue police latex gloves and, upon entering the building, proceeded to examine the doors and other possible points of entry. He found there to be no signs of forced entry. Although, upon a close inspection of the security pad, he found that the tip of his gloved finger seemed to stick to the outer edge of the security entry pad. Once inside, he found no indication that the premises had been searched in any way, as a normal robbery would leave the premises in a state of disarray. Therefore, Detective Jones requested Jim call and assemble all of the current employees of the Exchange. At the current time, there were only three employees. Robyn Moore, a young and attractive woman, who was the receptionist/secretary and had been with the Exchange for over five years. Jim stated that she was very trustworthy and loyal. John Banks, who validated the authenticity and quality of the various gems and diamonds, and had been with the Exchange for over twenty years and had become a part of the family as he had also worked for Jim and Mike's father. He had heavily invested in the Exchange when the two brothers took control and was somewhat of a "silent partner" which was unknown to the other two employees. The third employee, Bill Copeland, had recently been hired to assist John in the validation of the quality of the various gems and diamonds.
Once all of the employees were present, Detective Jones interviewed each one as to their whereabouts on the previous night. Robyn stated that she had joined her parents for dinner and, due the late hour, had stayed the night with them. John indicated that he and his wife had gone to dinner with 2 other couples and then they had all gotten together for a night of bridge. Bill replied that he had an early dinner, and retired early as he had been feeling a bit under the weather. He further stated that he had watched a Twilight Zone marathon on television until he fell asleep.
Detective Jones asked them to please be patient as he needed to have another look around the premises. First he thoroughly inspected the desk and surrounding area where Robyn spent her day. Nothing was amiss. He then proceeded to inspect the office and work bench where John worked with the various stones and diamonds. He noted a box of thin latex gloves which were used when inspecting the stones and diamonds. Again, he found nothing amiss. Lastly, he inspected the office and work area occupied by Bill and noted a box of latex gloves and a box of self adhering 8" by 10" transparent sheets, which are normally used to protect important documents. The box had been partially used and there were several discarded sheets in the waste basket. Upon completing his inspection, he advised Robyn and John that they were free to leave and thanked them for their time. He then proceeded to arrest Bill as the thief.
How did Detective Jones decide that Bill was the guilty party and what evidence led him to that conclusion?
HintThe Exchange had a policy that, when inspecting the precious stones and diamonds, the individual wear thin latex gloves to prevent leaving prints and oil on the stones and diamonds.
AnswerSince there were no signs of forced entry and nothing amiss in the exchange except for the missing inventory, Detective Jones knew it had to be an inside job. Robyn had an alibi as did John who had nothing to gain by robbing the exchange as he was a silent partner. Both alibis were easily verified. This left the newest employee, Bill Copeland.
When Detective Jones inspected the workspace of Bill Copeland, he not only found a large supply of the required latex gloves, but also a package of self adhering 8" x 10" transparent sheets used to protect important documents. He also noted that several had been used and then tossed into the waste basket next to the desk. Upon inspecting the discarded sheets, he noticed they had been used and contained only the imprint of a hand - palm and all five fingers appearing intact. He remembered how the tip of his gloved finger had stuck to the security pad indicating the presence of a sticky residue. From that, he knew what had taken place and how it had been done.
Bill had arrived after Jim had disarmed the security system and had quickly placed one of the transparent sticky sheets on the security pad pressing it gently and peeled it back off. In doing this, he obtained Jim's complete hand imprint. Since the pad was cleaned each night by the janitor, he knew he would get a clear print. He then put on a latex glove and transferred the print to his glove enclosed hand. But, in using this method, which worked somewhat like a mirror, he would end up with a left hand print to use on the pad which was programed to read only the right hand. Knowing this, Bill then repeated the process only this time using his gloved left hand which contained the print. The final result was a right hand glove containing the print. He then waited until late in the evening and returned using the right hand glove containing the lifted print thus enabling him to use the glove to "impersonate" Jim's hand and basically "fool" the security system. After gaining entry and robbing the exchange, he reset the alarm in the same manner so it would appear that no one had gained entrance.
Detective Jones also knew that the Twilight Zone marathon had been cancelled as he had planned on watching it and was disappointed that it had been cancelled. Thus catching Bill in a lie.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team shot a blistering 62 percent in the second half, but the Lions' defense proved to be the difference in the 64-57 victory over Eckerd College in Sunshine State Conference action from the Bowman Center on Wednesday night.
There was a chill in the air outside the Bowman Center, but inside the Lions (15-4, 3-3 SSC) kept things hot with a 48 percent shooting average from the floor through the game. Added to the hot hand the Lions held, the Saint Leo defense kept the visiting Tritons from getting good looks toward the basket.
In total, Eckerd scored just 19 points in the opening half and was held to a 29 percent shooting average in that period. Things only got marginally better for the Tritons in the second half, but the Lions made the shots when they were needed most, and managed to pull out the tough conference victory.
Jerrel Harris had a hard-earned and game-high 28 points in the victory on 9-of-13 shooting where he also connected on four of his five 3-point attempts. Chim Kadima added 10 points in the victory.
Eckerd (9-8, 2-4 SSC) saw 18 points from Alex Bodney but his effort could not make up for the Tritons struggles from the field, where they were compounded by an 8-for-17 night from the free throw line.
Saint Leo begins to eye the halfway point of the SSC schedule, but the Lions must make two of the season's longest road trips before getting there. The first of the two trips will see Saint Leo travel down to Boca Raton where they will square off with Lynn University on Saturday afternoon. The Lions and Fighting Knights are scheduled to tip-off at 4 p.m. from the deHornle Center on the Lynn campus.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2013 (1652 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sign No. 1 that Dustin Byfuglien is ready to return to action for the Winnipeg Jets:
The big man was not only conducting a rare interview Sunday morning, he was cracking wise with a size-large grin on his face.
Byfuglien has missed the last five games with an undisclosed "lower-body" injury, but declared himself good to go after an optional practice at the MTS Centre.
"It felt good. It's been awhile and it's nice to be back out there with some guys," said Byfuglien.
Asked if he thought he would be ready to play Tuesday night when the Philadelphia Flyers pay a visit, Byfuglien said: "As of right now, I think so. Good to go.
"I just had a little maintenance to do on the lower body, just taking care of it. We didn't want it to drag on and make it happen for the long haul, so we took care of it right away."
Byfuglien said the latest injury came right before the pre-game skate in Florida on Jan. 31 and was not related to last year's knee troubles, adding:
"It was a fresh one. Some wax buildup in my ear."
"We'll keep the medical part out of his hands, that's the first thing we'll do there," said head coach Claude Noel later. "I haven't talked to the trainers yet to see exactly what's happening, with not only him but others as well -- we kind of had a maintenance day today."
Byfuglien has three goals and four assists in six games this year and, with or without him in the lineup, his defence partner Toby Enstrom continues to rack up points.
Enstrom has two goals and 11 assists and continues to lead all NHL defencemen in scoring. The secret to the Swede's success?
"He must have went and watched a couple of my tapes and taken a few things," joked Byfuglien. "No... he's really stepped his game up. That's what he does. He's smooth, smart, he sees the ice well and he does a great job."
Byfuglien, while seeing Bogosian walk by as he conducted his interview, jokingly referred to his teammate as a "meatball." But it's possible both Byfuglien and Bogosian could be in the lineup for the first time this season later this week.
"We want to make sure we give him an opportunity to succeed, that's the first thing," said Noel of Bogosian. "It'll be a day-to-day decision with him. I know what you're going to ask me: 'Will he be in the game Tuesday?' I can't answer that question today. I don't know if it's enough time yet and I'd have to check with the medical people to see how he responds tomorrow to practice and go from there.
"I think his conditioning level is pretty good, that's not going to be the issue. It's more of the risk and how sore it is and how flexible (his wrist) is."

Kolkata, Sep 19 (IANS) Commuters faced a hard time Thursday as a section of bus operators went on a two-day strike in West Bengal to press for a fare hike.
The Joint Council of Bus Syndicates, one of the largest bus operators in the state, is demanding a fare hike and said Wednesday its fleet of 38,000 buses would be taken off the roads for two days.
Transport Minister Madan Mitra warned operators against the decision, saying the state would deploy additional buses to bridge the gap.
On the first day, fewer buses plied in the city. But, around 3,000 private buses of the Bengal Bus Syndicate were on roads.
Over 50 lakh commuters faced lengthy queues.
"There are less buses but still a good number are plying...however it is not sufficient...we are standing for a long time in queues," said a commuter.
Buses of state-run organisations like West Bengal Surface Transport Corporation and Calcutta State Transport Corporation also ferried passengers across the city.
Operators have been pressing for a hike since the last revision in November 2012, asserting that the revision is not enough to cover operational costs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2013 (1631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TAMPA, Fla. -- There's a reason the Winnipeg Jets surge up to .500 and then revert into a bad hockey team. It's a lack of leadership.
This isn't an indictment of Andrew Ladd. He's a very capable player and a solid captain. But he can't drive the Jets alone and it's clear he's not getting the support he needs from the rest of the players on the team.
Leadership must come from every corner of the room. From the young to the veteran. The Jets must make themselves accountable to one another and until they do, they'll never amount to anything.
Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers saw the Jets come out flat and never muster a response. There was no internal drive from the players in the locker-room to change their performance. They wilted. They played soft. They did none of the things professionals do when they're on the clock.
"If I'm sitting there as a player, and I've been a player, at the end of that game it has to be disturbing. But not only at the end of the game -- what about after the first period?" said Noel Wednesday morning. "I was a captain or an assistant captain pretty much my whole career and I would have had a hard time measuring up after that game or after 20 minutes and saying very little or not be smoking if I was a player."
One might ask the question why didn't Noel get his players' attention and force a change mid-game? Or why didn't he have them breathing fire to start the game?
Talk to players around the NHL or in any pro sport and they'll tell you they alone determine the amount of effort they expend. Rah-rah speeches are for high school and the movies. Millionaires don't shake as easily.
"The disturbing part is do we have some satisfaction that we feel like we're doing well and it's going to come easy? Is it the lack of winning maturity in the group? Where's our emotional level when it comes to our leadership? I'm not pointing fingers at one person, I'm talking about our leadership group," said Noel. "You have to help them so we can get by and get our foot on someone's throat and keep stepping because that's the difference between winning and losing and winning with a fair amount of consistency."
Coaches can hold players accountable by limiting their playing time if they're not up to the expected standard but Noel is in a fix in this regard. The greatest carrot in the NHL is ice time. Take it away from a player and you restrict his ability to build a statistical resumé and showcase his abilities and insure the next payday. But if a team or an organization doesn't have depth -- and the Jets are woefully short in this capacity -- it makes the threat hollow.
Noel can't bench any of his top six forwards for any real length of time. Who is going to step up? There's no push from the bottom of the lineup. No one is threatening to take work from the top six. The same goes on the blue-line. The Jets already have two regulars, Toby Enstrom and Zach Redmond, out of the lineup due to injury. There's no one in St. John's ready for NHL work. Noel can pretend to wield the stick but his players know he doesn't. So he must attempt to cajole results from them in other ways.
Stepping back and throwing up his hands isn't an option for Noel. He's got to believe his group can achieve more and continually look for solutions. On Wednesday, however, there were none forthcoming and the coach was in a dark mood.
Still, he refused to relent and promised to continue pushing.
"I think we're good enough," he said. "You can argue but you won't convince me. When we play like we can, you can see what we can do. It's no different than Florida. They have less but they play together and have more. When we go into Jersey and New York and play like we can, we prove that we're able. That's the team that I know. I could say we don't have enough, but that's poor. That's excuses and we know what excuses are for. We have enough. That's what I have to get across to our team and it's not like it hasn't been spoken about. But we have to get it to another level. It has to go deeper than that. That's what you do as a coach. You have to find the buttons to keep going. Why do we have this area where it looks like we're satisfied? It certainly doesn't come from me."
Apologists will say the Jets are young, but that's beginning to sound tired. The core has been together for three years or more and they've had the opportunity to grow together.
"You take steps back but how many steps do you want to keep taking because that's the hard part of growth," said Noel. "It's easy to say you learn from your mistakes but when it happens two or three times, are we learning? Those are empty words."
School should have been out some time ago. Certainly we're into exam time now and, unless there's a change, another big, fat F is coming down the pipe.

Boaters Reminded About Registration, New Web Renewal Service Available
AUSTIN, Texas — Boaters gearing up for summer fun on the water in Texas are reminded about the need for boat registration and boat and outboard motor titling. Also, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has a new Web service that started in March which allows boat owners to renew online.
Boat owners can now eliminate the drive and renew an existing boat registration listed in their name using a credit card online. They can also update their address and order additional ID cards when renewing online. This service is available to boats titled and registered through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, but is not available to boats documented (titled) through the United States Coast Guard, as they must provide proof of current documentation for registration.
Boat owners can also register by providing all forms and supporting documents, any required application fees, and any boat/outboard motor taxes at TPWD headquarters in Austin or any of the 27 TPWD law enforcement (game warden) field offices throughout the state or at participating county Tax Assessor-Collector Offices. To find participating offices, check the TPWD Web site.
Most boats are required by law to have current registration when on Texas public water, including vessels that are docked or moored. Texas registration is required for motorized boats of any length (including those with trolling motors), sailboats 14 feet in length or longer or sailboats with auxiliary engines, plus U.S. Coast Guard documented vessels.
Exempted boats that are not required to register include all non-motorized canoes, kayaks, rubber rafts (regardless of length) and similar craft if they are paddled, poled, or oared; as well as sailboats under 14 feet in length when windblown; USCG documented commercial vessels used in coastal shipping; and USCG documented vessels exceeding 115 feet in length.
Most boats are also required to be titled in Texas, including all motorized boats of any length and all sailboats 14 feet in length or longer or any sailboat with auxiliary engines. All internal combustion (gasoline/diesel powered) outboard boat motors must also be titled.
Current boat registration fees range from $30-to-$90 per vessel, with higher fees for longer vessels. Registration and titling fees are proposed to increase, but the change wouldn't take effect until Sep. 1.
Here are few helpful reminders that may prevent problems for boat owners:
- Purchasing a boat from an individual? Check the ownership information first, it's easy to do and free. You can see whether the boat has a title and determine who is listed as the owner and if that matches to the person (or their legal representative) that you are buying the boat from. Avoid buying a boat with existing problems by determining is a lien exists and whether it has been released by the bank. Avoid situations noted on the record where an issue exists that will prevent a smooth transfer of ownership. Remember, when a title has been issued, you'll need the seller to provide the title with the purchaser's name and address listed on the back of the title and a bill of sale to complete the transfer into your name.
- Didn't get your registration renewal notice? Check the ownership information to see if you need to update your address. Providing an updated address is free and easy by using TPWD form PWD 143-M (boats) or PWD 144-M (outboard motors). All forms may be downloaded online or picked up at a registration office.
- Texas experiences all kind of weather events — did a boat wash up on your property during the most recent hurricane or flood? Use the ownership information to connect with the owners.
- Check the documents before making the trip — Just moved to Texas? Inherited a boat? Selling as a result of divorce? Won a boat in a raffle? Titling a homemade boat? And the list goes on. Before making a drive to one of the offices, you can check to see what documents are needed by viewing the "Requirements for Specific Transactions for Vessels and Outboard Motors". Summarized graphs with detailed explanations are available on the TPWD Boat Ownership Web page.

With shares of Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) trading around $27, is LUV an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Southwest Airlines is a passenger airline that provides scheduled air transportation in the United States. Consumers and companies across the nation are now looking to travel at an increasing rates, and since air travel is quicker and is becoming less expensive, it is becoming a common transportation method for many. As costs decrease and flights become more efficient, look for business and retail customers to fly at rising rates. Southwest Airlines stands to see soaring profits as consumers and businesses look to travel more than ever.
A Southwest plane has backed into a JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) plane at a terminal at Boston Logan Airport Monday morning. The incident happened as the Southwest plane began to leave its gate, and a wing of the plane hit part of the tail wing of a JetBlue plane that was sitting out of the gate. The collision took a chunk out of one of the wings of the Southwest plane. It wasn't immediately clear if the JetBlue plane received any damage. Adam Cowley, a passenger on the Southwest flight that was scheduled to leave for Kansas City, Missouri just after 7 a.m., said as the plane was backing out, he felt a bump, looked out the window, and saw his plane and the JetBlue plane touching. The planes were separated at around 8 a.m.
A spokesperson for Massport, the agency that runs Logan Airport, said in a statement that as the Southwest plane was pushing back from the gate, its "wingtip struck the horizontal stabilizer of an empty parked JetBlue" plane. The incident has not affected airport operations, the statement read, and no one was injured. Southwest reports that it is working to get the 108 passengers who were on the plane onto other flights. Meanwhile, the airline stated, the plane involved in the collision is "out of service for repairs and inspection." The FAA is also investigating.

Soggy start to the week for the region
Published: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 6:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 6:13 p.m.
After a rainy Sunday, skies should begin to clear up and temperatures will rise throughout the week in Alachua and Marion counties.
Temperatures will range from the mid-60s to the low-50s on Monday. A 20 percent chance of showers will linger in the area, but skies should be partly cloudy throughout most of the day.
Tuesday will warm up quite a bit as temperatures rise to the mid 70s, with a low in the mid 50s. A 20 percent chance of showers is also expected.
The rest of the week, from Wednesday to Saturday, will be mostly sunny with high temperatures above the norm. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low to high 50s can be expected for the remainder of the week in both Alachua and Marion counties.
Jason Hess, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said fog will likely hang over the area throughout the week as well.

- News From the Field
- Boy Scouts helped alleged molesters cover tracks, files show
Boy Scouts helped alleged molesters cover tracks, files show
By Kim Christensen and Jason Felch
Over two decades, the Boy Scouts of America failed to report hundreds of alleged child molesters to police and often hid the allegations from parents and the public.
A Los Angeles Times review of 1,600 confidential files dating from 1970 to 1991 has found that Scouting officials frequently urged admitted offenders to quietly resign — and helped many cover their tracks.
Volunteers and employees suspected of abuse were allowed to leave citing bogus reasons such as business demands, "chronic brain dysfunction" and duties at a Shakespeare festival.
The details are contained in the organization's confidential "perversion files," a blacklist of alleged molesters, that the Scouts have used internally since 1919. Scouts' lawyers around the country have been fighting in court to keep the files from public view.
As The Times reported in August, the blacklist often didn't work: Men expelled for alleged abuses slipped back into the program, only to be accused of molesting again. Now, a more extensive review has shown that Scouts sometimes abetted molesters by keeping allegations under wraps.
In the majority of cases, the Scouts learned of alleged abuse after it had been reported to authorities. But in more than 500 instances, the Scouts learned about it from boys, parents, staff members or anonymous tips.
In about 400 of those cases — 80% — there is no record of Scouting officials reporting the allegations to police. In more than 100 of the cases, officials actively sought to conceal the alleged abuse or allowed the suspects to hide it, The Times found.
In 1982, a Michigan Boy Scout camp director who learned of allegations of repeated abuse by a staff member told police he didn't promptly report them because his bosses wanted to protect the reputation of the Scouts and the accused staff member.
"He stated that he had been advised by his supervisors and legal counsel that he should neutralize the situation and keep it quiet," according to a police report in the file.
That same year, the director of a Boy Scout camp in Virginia wrote to the Scouts' top lawyer, asking for help dealing with a veteran employee suspected of a "lifelong pattern" of abuse that had not been reported to police.
"When a problem has surfaced, he has been asked to leave a position 'of his own free will' rather than risk further investigation," the director wrote. "The time has come for someone to make a stand and prevent further occurrences."
There is no indication the Scouts took the matter to law enforcement.
In 1976, five Boy Scouts wrote detailed complaints accusing a Pennsylvania scoutmaster of two rapes and other sex crimes, according to his file. He abruptly resigned in writing, saying he had to travel more for work.
"Good luck to you in your new position," a top troop representative wrote back. He said he was accepting the resignation "with extreme regret."
Scouting officials declined to be interviewed for this article. In a prepared statement, spokesman Deron Smith said, "We have always cooperated fully with any request from law enforcement and today require our members to report even suspicion of abuse directly to their local authorities."
The organization instituted that requirement in 2010. Before then, the policy was to obey state laws, which didn't always require youth groups to report abuse.
In some instances, however, the Scouts may have violated those state laws. Since the early 1970s, for example, New Jersey has required anyone who suspects child abuse to report it. In several cases there, the Scouts received firsthand reports of alleged abuse, but nothing in the files indicates they informed authorities.
In the 1970s and '80s, secrecy was embedded in the Scouts' policies and procedures for handling child sexual abuse.

"Going green" can be difficult in a city like Phoenix. You can keep track of your recyclables, buy organic and even compost, but what about that long commute every Monday through Friday? There are a few options open for those determined to reduce their carbon footprint: bus, light rail, carpool, bicycle or some combination thereof. However, each of these options comes with problems as well.
For the public transportation group the logistics and timing of catching a bus or light rail can mean adding extra time or distance onto your commute. The same could be said for carpooling, depending on the location and morning routines of any "carpool buddies." As for bicycling, this mode of transportation is restricted by the distance you need to travel: too far and it's just not possible for a morning commute. Fortunately, there is another option out there for the ardent environmentalist.
Electric vehicles. No, not hybrids, but completely electric cars run by batteries. Not only are these cars a way to stay green in a city with one of the worst commutes in the country, but when you buy an electric vehicle you are eligible for a $7,500 tax credit.

Is Worrying Ever Healthy?
Too much worry can be a bane for beauty—but a little bit can be a boon for health.
-Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, YouBeauty.com
When was the last time you felt no stress, no stress at all? Can't remember? That's right—the only time you have no stress is when you are lying quietly six feet under. Life comes with stress and we're told over and over that stress is bad for us and that we should reduce our stress whenever possible (talk about stressful!). It's easier said than done, we know. But stress is only bad when you make it so.
Worrying has evolutionary benefits; it signals a lack of confidence, knowledge or control and it makes us snap to attention when situations call for thought, planning and action. If you think about it, beauty is often about managing the different kinds of stress in our lives—and put to proper use, worrying can actually be good for you.
Read Keep Your New Year's Resolutions (No Willpower Required)
Worry: The Good
Worrying can help us perform better. When our bodies are in a stressed state—say, due to a looming deadline, or important meeting—blood flow increases to our brain, which helps us think more clearly, and our mood becomes more serious, promoting increased concentration. A recent study from the University of Rochester Medical Center even found that people who consider themselves neurotic (you might call them worrywarts) and are also conscientious (organized and responsible) have lower levels of a protein called Interleukin 6, which, at higher concentrations, is associated with inflammatory precursors to conditions such as heart disease, stroke, asthma, diabetes and some cancers. And a long-term study conducted over 80 years found that people who always see the world through rose-colored glasses do not live as long as those who have a tendency to fret and fuss. A little worry goes a long way.
Worry: The Bad
Chronic stress—that is, not the acute stress you deal with when you have a project due and you get it done—brings with it a whole host of nasty side effects. It increases anxiety, causes headaches, hurts sleep, compromises your immune system and can lead to high blood pressure. It can also speed collagen breakdown, making your skin look older, can make acne and eczema flare up, and gives you dark under-eye circles. Unmanaged stress makes you crave sugar. Then eventually you start stressing even more because your jeans don't fit!

Role taking involves the perception and understanding of a situation from the point of view of others who are involved. This is a complex process of social perception. One has to overcome ones own egocentrism and intuitively draw on a theory of mind,a grasp of the processes of role perception and role playing and allay this with a broad understanding of social behavior in order to achieve this task. Without this ability role modelling would be an empty exercise and severly limit the posibilities of social learning
Role taking in clinical populationsEdit
The ability to do this can be impaired in some people, for example those with autism
Role taking and moral educationEdit
American psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg who specialized in research on moral education and reasoning, believed children needed to be in an environment that allowed for open and public discussion of day-to-day conflicts and problems to develop their moral reasoning ability. Kohlberg also sometimes speaks of change occurring through role-taking opportunities, opportunities to consider others' viewpoints. As children interact with others, they learn how viewpoints differ and how to coordinate them in cooperative activities. As they discuss their problems and work out their differences, they develop their conceptions of what is fair and just.[1][2][3]

Britain's banks will be broken up if they fail to radically reform by ring-fencing retail operations from their investment arms to avoid any more state bailouts, finance minister George Osborne warned.
As the government published legislation aimed at significantly altering the landscape of Britain's financial sector, Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne used a speech to say that "2013 is the year when we re-set our banking system".
Addressing staff at US investment banking giant JPMorgan in Bournemouth, southern England, he said: "My message to the banks is clear: if a bank flouts the rules, the regulator and the Treasury will have the power to break it up altogether – full separation, not just a ring fence." Mr Osborne said: "In the jargon, we will 'electrify the ring fence,' adding that the Bank of England would be "the super cop" of Britain's financial system going forward.
The chancellor outlined four key changes:
■"A brand new watchdog with new powers to keep our banks safe so they don't bring down the economy."
■"A new law to separate the branch on the high street from the dealing floor... to protect taxpayers when mistakes are made."
■ "Changing the whole culture and ethics" of banking.
■ Giving "customers the most powerful weapon of all: choice".
The government had already announced plans to force banks to ring-fence operations by 2019, in a bid to avoid taxpayers having to bail out troubled banks such as RBS and Lloyds – as was the case during the financial crisis.
But the draft law has been toughened after Britain's Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards recently complained that the proposals fell "well short of what is required."
Mr Osborne had previously warned the commission against "unpicking the consensus" on structural reform of the banking sector but appears to have accepted its warning that the draft law left room for loopholes.
"Today, we are publishing the legislation that will turn... this consensus for change into law," he said
"A law for the first time ever, to separate the retail and investment arms of banks, and erect a ring fence around the retail bank so its essential operations continue even if the whole bank fails." Mr Osborne said he expected the legislation to be passed by parliament by a year's time.
The changes have meanwhile put the finance minister on a collision course with Britain's banks, which claim the legislation would make London less attractive as a global financial centre.
"This will create uncertainty for investors, making it more difficult for banks to raise capital, which will ultimately mean that banks will have less money to lend to businesses," said Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers' Association.
"Above all, what banks and business need is regulatory certainty so that banks can get on with what they want to do, which is help the economy grow," he added.
Britain's economy shrank by 0.3 per cent in the final quarter of 2012 and recorded zero growth for the year as a whole, recent official data revealed, placing the country on the brink of a third recession since 2008.

Deputy quits after brushes with law
Updated 9:17 pm, Thursday, February 7, 2013
A Bexar County deputy who kicked out the back windows of a patrol vehicle after being arrested and who later was accused of drunken driving has resigned, according to Paul Berry, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
Susana Lisa Cervantes, 35, was arrested Sept. 28 after officers were called to the High View Place Apartments on a domestic disturbance call. While she was being held in the arresting officer's patrol car, she kicked out the back windows, causing an estimated $1,600 in damage.
She was charged with criminal mischief and placed on leave.
Then on Jan. 3, she was charged with DWI after San Antonio police officers saw her crash into a concrete barrier twice in a West Side parking lot. Police said Cervantes was combative and had to be stunned twice with a Taser before they could arrest her.
She remained on unpaid leave after her Jan. 4 arrest until her resignation last week, Berry said.

Astros jump on Darvish to complete sweep of Rangers
Grossman collects four hits to spark Houston in series finale
ARLINGTON -- Astros outfielder Robbie Grossman was asked if his team's sweep of the Rangers carried any extra significance since it was only the second time his team had accomplished that feat.
"Oh, for sure," he said. "It's always good to beat the Rangers."
Why's that?
"Because they're the Rangers."
Grossman, who grew up in Houston, certainly knows how the Rangers have owned the Astros for the past decade, including a 17-2 record against them last year. But Wednesday's 8-4 win at Globe Life Park to polish off a three-game sweep was a benchmark moment for the Astros.
The sweep allowed them to pass the Rangers in the American League West standings by only the slightest of percentage points (.419-.418) and climb out of last place. It's the first time they haven't been in last place this late in the season since 2010.
"They've beaten us up the last couple of years and they've been the big brother of sort," said Astros starter Dallas Keuchel, who grinded out 6 2/3 innings to win his ninth game of the season.
Yu Darvish, who has dominated Houston in his career and nearly threw a perfect game against them last year, was rocked for 10 hits and six runs in six innings. It's the most runs Darvish has allowed in eight starts against the Astros.
For the series, the Astros hit .362 with 42 hits, including seven homers, and scored 28 runs.
"I think their approach hasn't changed much but I think individually they're playing good baseball and in a lot of key situations, they're hitting the ball," said Darvish, who gave up six runs and 10 hits in six innings.
Grossman, playing his second game since getting called up from Triple-A, set a career high in hits by going 4-for-5, including a homer, to snap an 0-for-28 drought. George Springer also homered for the Astros, as well as making an incredible catch while crashing into the wall in the third.
"I'm happy I'm here and I can help this team win a ballgame," Grossman said. "I was trying to get ready early. I had faced him a couple of times and glad I finally had some success off him. I saw the ball well off him and he gave me a couple of pitches to hit and I hit them."
The Astros reached 100 homers prior to the All-Star break for only the fourth time in their history.
The big night on offense helped Keuchel (9-5) snap a two-game losing streak with his first win since June 11. Keuchel allowed four runs and eight hits and kept the Rangers off the board after allowing three runs in the second.
"Tonight he proved why he's one of the best pitchers in the American League and one of the best pitchers in baseball," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "To give up [four early runs] and grab back control of the game and go 6 2/3 innings and keep their offense right there, speaks volumes to his maturity and the type of season he's having."
The Rangers led, 4-2, after two innings before the Astros chipped away. Grossman brought the Astros within one run with a single in the third, and his fifth-inning homer tied the game at 4. A two-run double by Carlos Corporan in the sixth pushed the lead to 6-4, and Springer added a two-run, opposite-field blast in the seventh.
"I think this is getting back to how we were playing in May and early June, and obviously when you're swinging the bat, you're always in the game," Springer said. "We've got three good starts from our guys and they held an extremely good team over there to three, four, five runs, and that's obviously big."
And now the Astros are looking down at the Rangers in the standings, even if by the smallest margin.
"That's a little weird based on the fact we haven't been pretty good the last couple of years," Keuchel said. "I think we're turning the corner slowly, but they've had a lot of injuries. Just to be where they're at is a compliment to them. You never know what we're going to do the second half of the year."

30 Under 30: The Essential Names to Know
Vidal Sassoon, the legendary hairstylist whose "wash-and-wear" cuts revolutionized women's hair care and fashion in the 1960s, died Wednesday at 84. With his geometric creations—most notably the "five-point cut"—the British-born Sassoon liberated women from the tyranny of bedtime rollers and towering beehives piled high with spray. "My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous," Sassoon told the Los Angeles Times in 1993. "Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer anymore." He eventually expanded his empire to include salons and an eponymous product line in the United States with the famous slogan, "If you don't look good, we don't look good."
In 1954, Sassoon opened his first salon at the Dorchester Hotel in London's posh Mayfair district. "I gave myself five years," he said. "If I couldn't change anything, I was out of there." As Sassoon explained in the 2010 documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, he was inspired by the clean lines of Bauhaus architecture. "When I looked at the architecture, the structure of buildings that were going up worldwide, you saw a whole different look, in shape," he said. "My sense was hairdressing definitely needed to be changing. To me hair meant geometry, angles. Cutting uneven shapes, as long as it suited that face and that bone structure." Among his more popular cuts was the "swinging bob"—shown here on model-turned-designer Emmanuelle Khanh in 1963.

Justin Timberlake is the latest major artist whose upcoming concert tour appear to be skipping San Diego in favor of more lucrative dates in Los Angeles and Orange County. He joins a list that, so far this year, includes the Rolling Stones, Eagles, Beyoncé, Kenny Chesney, Bon Jovi, Pink and New Kids On The Block.
Major tours that have included San Diego stops this year include those by Muse, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Justin Bieber, Mumford & Sons and The Postal Service, to cite some of the most prominent examples.
In the case of Timberlake, San Diego is batting 0-for-2. His ongoing "Legends of the Summer" tour with Jay Z (the Artist Formerly Known as Jay-Z) skipped San Diego in favor of a Sunday night concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena that drew 60,000 concertgoers to the 100,000-capacity stadium.
Timberlake today announced two Southern California stops on his upcoming "The 20/20 Experience World Tour" -- Nov. 26 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and Nov. 27 at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
Those are the same two SoCal venues the Rolling Stones performed multiple concerts at in May as part of the band's "50 and Counting" tour (which also bypassed San Diego).
Tickets for Timberlake's L.A. and O.C. concerts go on sale Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. to the general public. Pre-sales for his fan club members and for Master Card holders begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Live Nation, which is producing both shows, has its own pre-sale, which begins Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. Tickets for his Anaheim show, including service charges, range from $69 to $203.75.
Timberlake last performed in San Diego in 2006, when he played a sold-out show at downtown's House of Blues.

Complete August 2011
This Highway Capital Improvement Mobility project reconstructed the intersection of SR 28 - US 2/97 at the east end of the Odabashian Bridge in Douglas County.
Why is WSDOT
reconstructing this intersection?
The intersection was rebuilt to accommodate a fourth leg - the extension of Eastmont Avenue, relieving traffic congestion on Sunset Highway south to 9th Street in East Wenatchee. The intersection also experienced persistent pavement damage requiring expensive annual maintenance to repair rutting due to high summer temperatures coupled with a high volume of heavy truck traffic. This project replaced asphalt with concrete which doesn't soften in high heat, supports heavier loads and won't need to be replaced for 50 years.
The End Result
Project Benefits
What is the project timeline?
The project began March 28 and was complete August 2, 2011

Project signage will reflect the cost of construction engineering, project bid award and sales tax.

text: Has anyone tried deep frying goose? Christmas tradition has always been my grandmother cooking a domestic goose in the oven. Since she has passed I would like to revive her tradition, but am looking for input from perhaps someone who has tried deep frying a domestic goose or even tried smoking one. I realize goose is quite fatty so I would think that smoking it would draw out quite a bit of it. Deep frying is a complete unknown as far as what it would produce? Anyone have any input or suggestions?

One of the most significant developments within Christianity in recent years is that of the "Emergent Church." It is a controversial movement (some say it is not really a movement) that has spawned literature on both sides of the swelling debate. Roger Oakland has added to this literature with his anti-emergent book Faith Undone: the emerging church...a new reformation or an end-time deception.
Oakland comes down clearly on the end-time deception side. There is no doubt in his mind that the emergent church movement is a delusion and a threat to the Christian church. The reasons for his rejection of the movement are:
Oakland provides a large array of quotations from various sources to support his criticism - many of which are legitimate. Emergent Christianity is a very loose-knit movement that is evolving. And it is most certainly a threat to orthodox, traditional, conservative, Christianity.
The unfortunate aspect of Oakland's book is that, on the whole, he avoids identifying any positive aspects of the movement. For example, its emphasis on social justice, the recognition of different individuals' needs to worship in unique styles that suit their personalities, a recognition of the way in which our understanding of God is mediated through language that is metaphorical and imperfect, and an understanding that spirituality is a conversation that takes place rather than a matter of conforming to an authoritative creed. Oakland's treatment of the emergent church would have been more balanced if he had acknowledged, in a more fair-minded way, some of these positive elements. And Oakland neglects the fact that his particular version of Christianity is not necessarily held by all Christians. For example, his own eschatology focused on literal Israel is only one of many theological options about the end times.
Faith Undone is worth reading because it provides an important perspective from an evangelical Christian's point of view. If you want to get a broader view of the emergent church movement, check out some of the Related Links below. Like all new movements, we need to listen with caution and discernment. Oakland raises important issues that help us do that.

|Nerve: Intercostal nerves
|Diagram of the course and branches of a typical intercostal nerve.
|Intercostal nerves, the superficial muscles having been removed.
|nervi intercostales
|subject #211 945
|intercostal muscle
|thoracic nerves (T1-T11)
The intercostal nerves are the anterior divisions (rami anteriores; ventral divisions) of the thoracic spinal nerves from T1 to T11.
Each nerve is connected with the adjoining ganglion of the sympathetic trunk by a gray and a white ramus communicans. The intercostal nerves are distributed chiefly to the thoracic pleura and abdominal peritoneum, and differ from the anterior divisions of the other spinal nerves, in that each pursues an independent course without plexus formation.
The first two nerves supply fibers to the upper limb in addition to their thoracic branches; the next four are limited in their distribution to the parietes of the thorax; the lower five supply the parietes of the thorax and abdomen. The 7th intercostal nerve terminates at the xyphoid process, at the lower end of the sternum. The 10th intercostal nerve terminates at the umbilicus. The twelfth (subcostal) thoracic is distributed to the abdominal wall and groin.
The 1st Thoracic NerveEdit
The anterior division of the first thoracic nerve divides into two branches: one, the larger, leaves the thorax in front of the neck of the first rib, and enters the brachial plexus; the other and smaller branch, the first intercostal nerve, runs along the first intercostal space, and ends on the front of the chest as the first anterior cutaneous branch of the thorax.
Occasionally this anterior cutaneous branch is missing.
The first intercostal nerve rarely gives off a lateral cutaneous branch; but sometimes sends a small branch to communicate with the intercostobrachial.
From the second thoracic nerve it frequently receives a connecting twig, which ascends over the neck of the second rib.
The Upper Thoracic Nerves: 2nd-6thEdit
The anterior divisions of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth thoracic nerves, and the small branch from the first thoracic, are confined to the parietes of the thorax, and are named thoracic intercostal nerves.
They pass forward in the intercostal spaces below the intercostal vessels. At the back of the chest they lie between the pleura and the posterior intercostal membranes, but soon pierce the latter and run between the two planes of Intercostal muscles as far as the middle of the rib.
They then enter the substance of the Intercostales interni, and, running amidst their fibers as far as the costal cartilages, they gain the inner surfaces of the muscles and lie between them and the pleura.
Near the sternum, they cross in front of the internal mammary artery and Transversus thoracis muscle, pierce the Intercostales interni, the anterior intercostal membranes, and Pectoralis major, and supply the integument of the front of the thorax and over the mamma, forming the anterior cutaneous branches of the thorax; the branch from the second nerve unites with the anterior supraclavicular nerves of the cervical plexus.
Numerous slender muscular filaments supply the Intercostales, the Subcostales, the Levatores costarum, the Serratus posterior superior, and the Transversus thoracis. At the front of the thorax some of these branches cross the costal cartilages from one intercostal space to another.
- Lateral cutaneous branches (rami cutanei laterales) are derived from the intercostal nerves, about midway between the vertebræ and sternum; they pierce the Intercostales externi and Serratus anterior, and divide into anterior and posterior branches.
- The anterior branches run forward to the side and the forepart of the chest, supplying the skin and the mamma; those of the fifth and sixth nerves supply the upper digitations of the Obliquus externus abdominis.
- The posterior branches run backward, and supply the skin over the scapula and Latissimus dorsi.
The lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve does not divide, like the others, into an anterior and a posterior branch; it is named the intercostobrachial nerve (Fig. 816). It pierces the Intercostalis externus and the Serratus anterior, crosses the axilla to the medial side of the arm, and joins with a filament from the medial brachial cutaneous nerve. It then pierces the fascia, and supplies the skin of the upper half of the medial and posterior part of the arm, communicating with the posterior brachial cutaneous branch of the radial nerve. The size of the intercostobrachial nerve is in inverse proportion to that of the medial brachial cutaneous nerve. A second intercostobrachial nerve is frequently given off from the lateral cutaneous branch of the third intercostal; it supplies filaments to the axilla and medial side of the arm.
The Lower Thoracic Nerves: 7th-11thEdit
The Lower Thoracic Nerves: 12thEdit
Anterior divisionEdit
- See subcostal nerve
Lateral cutaneous branchEdit
The lateral cutaneous branch of the last thoracic nerve is large, and does not divide into an anterior and a posterior branch.
It perforates the Obliqui internus and externus, descends over the iliac crest in front of the lateral cutaneous branch of the iliohypogastric, and is distributed to the skin of the front part of the gluteal region, some of its filaments extending as low as the greater trochanter.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A Brunswick woman who pleaded guilty Sept. 1 for her role in the 2007 kidnapping, molestation and killing of a 6-year-old boy is seeking to withdraw the plea that sent her to prison for 60 years.
The woman, 62-year-old Peggy Edenfield, filed a handwritten motion Friday with the Clerk of Glynn County Superior Court.
Document:Peggy Edenfield's Letter
Edenfield claims her court-appointed lawyer, Richard Allen, did not properly explain to her the consequences of changing her plea of not guilty on eight felony counts to guilty. Edenfield says in the motion she is mentally handicapped and was led to believe she would still have a trial.
"I was not instructed verbally the consequences of a plea change. I am mentally handicapped with an IQ of 62," Edenfield wrote.
Edenfield pleaded guilty but mentally retarded to charges related to the 2007 killing of Christopher Michael Barrios.
Edenfield pleaded guilty but mentally retarded to charges of false imprisonment, child molestation, cruelty to a child, concealing a death and tampering with evidence in the death of Christopher Barrios. Charges of murder, kidnapping and sexual assault were dropped.
Edenfield testified against her husband, David Edenfield, who was convicted and sentenced to death in October 2009. She was prepared to testify against her son, George Edenfield, before he was found incompetent to stand trial.
The three Edenfields were the boy's neighbors.

BP has finally made a move on its Twitter nemesis.
@BPGlobalPR has been spoofing BP's public relations operation since mid-May. Its caustic updates reach almost 150,000 Twitter followers. @BP_America, which the real BP has updated sporadically since 2008, has fewer than 15,000.
That's up from just a couple of thousand a month ago. After a quiet few days in the immediate aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, BP started to engage with its critics on Twitter, and it recently acquired a "verified account" badge.
But BP is still struggling to make itself heard in the Twitterverse, while its evil twin has thrived. Read more
