Notorious cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, reputed to be the world's biggest drug trafficker has been arrested by Mexican marines at a coastal resort.
Guzman, who headed the Sinaloa drug cartel, was arrested at around dawn in Mazatlan, on Mexico's west coast, after more than a decade on the run.
The UShad offered a $5m (€3.6m) reward for information leading to the arrest of "El Chapo."
He is reputed to be behind much of the drug violence that has plagued Mexico for years.
Mexican forces were acting on a tip-off from the US Drug Enforcement Agency and US Homeland Security intelligence, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Guzman has amassed an immense fortune while authorities carried out their exhaustive international manhunt to capture him.
Guzman was apprehended more than a decade after escaping from a maximum-security prison in a laundry cart.
Meanwhile, the Mexican president tweeted his delight on the capture:
He said: I recognise the work of the security institutions of the Mexican state in carrrying out the capture of Joaquín Guzmán Loera in Mazatlán
Reconozco la labor de las instituciones de seguridad del Estado mexicano, para lograr la aprehensión de Joaquín Guzmán Loera en Mazatlán.— Enrique Peña Nieto (@EPN) February 22, 2014

CARSON CITY — A Las Vegas woman who killed her aunt's boyfriend in 2002 claiming he was abusive failed in her bid Monday to win a pardon for the crime and be immediately released from prison.
Despite an exemplary record during her six and a half years in prison, a majority of the Board of Pardons, including Gov. Brian Sandoval and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, voted against the request by Jamie Hein.
Hein was convicted in 2007 of second-degree murder in the death of 36-year-old Timothy Herman and was ultimately sentenced to a term of 10 to 25 years for the crime.
In her presentation to the board, which was asked to commute her sentence to time served, Hein expressed remorse for the crime. The hearing in the Nevada Supreme Court chambers was packed with family and friends of Hein and the family of Herman, who testified in opposition to the request.
The request was unusual for several reasons. Hein has met with and befriended her victim's mother, Kathleen Herman, who equivocated about whether she supported the pardon.
Another unusual factor cited in support of early release is Hein's genetically inherited medical condition, angioedema, which is costing Nevada taxpayers $38,000 a month for treatment while she is incarcerated.
"I'm sorry I took his life," Hein told the board, which also includes the seven members of the Nevada Supreme Court. "I think about it every day."
The situation at the house where Herman was living with Hein's aunt, Rebecca Garrison, was described as dysfunctional, with the couple using illegal drugs. Hein also abused drugs and alcohol. Herman, a felon from Florida who was addicted to methamphetamine, had been arrested on a charge of domestic violence against Garrison. Witnesses testified at Hein's trial that he hit her and kicked her in the head.
The motive for the attack was disputed at the hearing, with members of the Herman family claiming that Hein intended to kill Herman and planned with two others to commit the crime.
Kristine Herman, one of Timothy Herman's daughters, said she was satisfied by the decision of the board.
In speaking out against the pardon, she said: "You cannot get away with murder, Jamie."
Herman's parents and two daughters attended the hearing from Florida.
A suggestion by Justice James Hardesty to postpone the decision while a legal issue was researched about Hein's ability to serve residential confinement failed on a 5-4 vote by the board.
Masto said leaving the matter unresolved would create even more uncertainty for Herman's family, and cause them further emotional pain.
The board then voted to reject the pardon request.
Hein is eligible for parole in June 2017.

Barber was no shrinking violet when it came to blasting Garagiola in his book. If he honestly felt that was a reason to not feel comfortable with Garagiola, he would have said so.
And I really have to take issue with the notion that when Sterling makes a call I find entertaining it's him "sounding like an idiot" or that those of us who enjoy his work like it because he "sounds like an idiot." I like Sterling because at his best he's been entertaining and knows how to connect with the core Yankee audience by reflecting the excitement and enthusiasm I as a fan feel when something exciting happens, and that's something his predecessor in the booth, Greenwald was totally incapable of doing (I again, always come back to the point that as a Yankee fan, I don't compare Sterling to Mel Allen, who was before my time, I compare him to the last guy who had the job before him).

Give Kevin Kruger a medal for resilience.
UNLV's senior point guard missed all eight of his shots in Friday's first-round victory over Georgia Tech and his first three in the first half Sunday against Wisconsin.
Give Kevin Kruger a medal for resilience.
UNLV's senior point guard missed all eight of his shots in Friday's first-round victory over Georgia Tech and his first three in the first half Sunday against Wisconsin.
But, typical of a shooter's hubris, it never occurred to him to stop shooting, and a four-point play at the 7-minute-30-second mark of Sunday's first half turned Kruger around. He finished with 16 points, seven assists, six rebounds and no turnovers as the Runnin' Rebels reached the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 for the first time since 1991 and left the Badgers this year's only No. 2 seed to go out in the second round.
Some other observations from a jam-packed weekend of hoops at the United Center:
Biggest turnaround: Brandon Rush, Kansas. The sophomore standout looked either lost or uninterested while scoring five points as the Jayhawks were losing to DePaul here in December. But he appeared to be the best player on the floor over the weekend and showed what the All-American talk was all about.
Best play: Julian Wright, Kansas. He mistimed his leap and misjudged the bounce going after an offensive rebound Friday night against Niagara. But he adjusted his body in the air, stretched to catch the ball and threw down an emphatic dunk before landing. That kind of physical ability translates to "the next level."
Biggest disappointment: Georgia Tech. Looked like a Top 10 team in beating Memphis at the Maui Invitational. Looked out of it Friday against UNLV. Not a good sign when you're playing better in November than in March.
Best coaching job: Lon Kruger, UNLV. Wisconsin is always a tough team to play, particularly on short notice. But Kruger had the Runnin' Rebels ready for every wrinkle of the "swing offense," and they exploited their superior speed in attacking the Badgers' defense.
Most surprising stat: With the exception of freshman center Jared Clark, who is injured and did not suit up, Kentucky did not have a single Kentucky-bred player on its roster. Can't set well with coach Tubby Smith's Bluegrass critics.
Biggest shot: Curtis Terry hit a three-pointer from the deep corner with just over two minutes left and the shot clock near zero Sunday to give UNLV an eight-point lead. Terry missed two free throws and a jumper and threw away a pass immediately after replacing injured Wink Adams, but Kruger stayed with him.
Worst sendoff: Alando Tucker. The Badgers star and Big Ten player of the year had just six points on 2-for-8 shooting in the second half and a lone free throw in the final 12:39 of his final collegiate game. Tough exit for a classy player.
Sweetest stroke: Mario Chalmers, Kansas. Great range, quick release, deadeye.
Double order of Tums: Jim Delany, Big Ten commissioner. After a 5-1 first round, Big Ten squads went 1-4 in the second round and would be off the tournament board if Xavier had made that late-game free throw against Ohio State. In fact, the Sweet 16 might have an entirely different look if Louisville, Notre Dame and Illinois, among others, had shot free throws better.
Bracket-buster: UNLV, No. 7, is the lowest-seeded team remaining in the field.
Speed thrills: Kansas can reel off a game-turning 10-0 spurt more quickly than anybody east of the Phoenix Suns.
Third time's the charm? Older brothers Kareem (Missouri) and Ja'Ron (UCLA) have had moderate to no success as pros, but Kansas' Brandon Rush appears to be the goods.
All-tournament team: Wendell White, UNLV; Bobby Perry, Kentucky; Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, Julian Wright, Kansas.

DANVILLE (CBS SF) — A Contra Costa County sheriff's deputy who was arrested Friday on drug charges had allegedly been working with a Concord-based private investigator to conduct so-called "dirty DUI" stops on clients' husbands to damage their reputations, an investigator said in an affidavit.
In one of the cases, the target was cheating on his wife and the deputy was looking to "dirty him up" for a future legal battle, according to the affidavit.
The deputy, Stephen Tanabe, a 47-year-old Alamo resident, was arrested Friday night on suspicion of possessing and selling a controlled substance, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
He may also face charges of conspiracy and extortion in connection with the alleged drunken driving stops, prosecutor Harold Jewett said Wednesday.
In an affidavit for a search warrant dated March 4, Contra Costa County sheriff's Detective Sgt. Jason Vorhauer wrote that a reserve deputy named William Howard had approached him and said he had been on patrol with Tanabe in Danville on Jan. 14 when one of the "dirty DUI" stops was conducted.
Howard told Vorhauer that Tanabe had received eight to 10 phone calls from someone he called his "PI friend," later identified as Christopher Butler, regarding a man who was allegedly drinking alcohol at a local wine bar called The Vine.
Butler, 49, was arrested Feb. 16 along with 49-year-old Norman Wielsch, the commander of the state-run Central Contra Costa County Narcotic Enforcement Team, or CNET.
Prosecutors have alleged that Wielsch stole drugs from law enforcement evidence lockers and gave them to Butler, who sold them through his private investigator business.
The pair have pleaded not guilty to 28 charges, including conspiracy; selling methamphetamine, marijuana and steroids; and possessing methamphetamine, marijuana and steroids for sale.
During their arraignment last week, prosecutor Jun Fernandez alleged that Butler hired attractive women to lure his targets to local bars and invite them to drink. Butler would then allegedly contact local law enforcement officers and have the men arrested for drunken driving, Fernandez said.
Vorhauer wrote in his affidavit that Howard told him Butler had been parked in a Hummer near the bar on the night of the Jan. 14 "dirty DUI" arrest and had given Tanabe a description of the subject's vehicle. When the man came out of the bar, Butler alerted Tanabe, according to the account.
Tanabe, who was in a patrol car, followed the man until he made a right turn without signaling and pulled him over, according to the document. After the stop, Tanabe arrested the man on suspicion of drunken driving.
Tanabe later allegedly told Howard that it was all a setup, according to the affidavit.
Investigators later learned that the wife of the man who was targeted had allegedly paid Butler $5,000 to conduct an investigation into her husband's activities.
A district attorney's investigator told Vorhauer that a search of Butler's cell phone confirmed that Butler and Tanabe had made arrangements by text message to have the man arrested, according to the affidavit.
Cell phone records also confirmed that they had arranged by text to have another man arrested on Jan. 9, according to Vorhauer.
A second deputy, identified in the affidavit as Tom Henderson, told Vorhauer of a third DUI arrest he had been involved in with Tanabe.
Henderson said that on March 2, he had received a call from Tanabe, who said he was off duty in a bar in downtown Danville and a man he identified by name was drinking heavily and would be leaving soon, according to the affidavit.
Tanabe allegedly explained to Henderson that the man was cheating on his wife and he and Butler wanted to "'dirty him up' for a future court case," the affidavit states.
Henderson waited for the man to leave the bar and then pulled him over for speeding, determined he was drunk and arrested him on suspicion of DUI, according to the affidavit.
"It is my opinion that Deputy Tanabe has abused his police powers and has been acting as an agent of Butler while on duty as an Officer of the City of Danville," Vorhauer wrote.
Danville is one of several cities in Contra Costa County that contract with the sheriff's office for police services.
According to the affidavit, Howard also told Vorhauer that on the day Wielsch and Butler were arrested, Tanabe allegedly went to Howard's house and told him he was worried his house would be searched during the investigation.
Tanabe allegedly asked Howard if he could store an item at his house while the investigation was going on, the affidavit stated.
Howard later turned that item in to investigator, who determined that it was an illegal assault rifle, according to the affidavit.
Jewett, who is overseeing the case while Fernandez is out of town, said that since Tanabe posted $260,000 bail on Saturday, there is no urgent deadline to file charges.
Jewett said he does not expect to file charges against him this week, since the investigation is still under way.
Wielsch and Butler are scheduled to return to court April 21 to set a date for a preliminary hearing.

1st payments in Vioxx case set to be sent
- |
TRENTON, N.J. - Partial payments for people claiming that withdrawn painkiller Vioxx caused heart attacks will go out starting Aug. 28 under the $4.85 billion settlement between drug maker Merck & Co. and plaintiffs' lawyers, the claims administrator said yesterday.
Those payments will amount to about 40 percent of each plaintiffs' estimated total payout, but it's unclear how many people will be getting checks in the first batch.
The settlement, meant to end the bulk of personal injury lawsuits against Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based Merck, was reached last November.
Three years earlier, Merck pulled Vioxx from the market on Sept. 30, 2004, after its own research showed the once-blockbuster arthritis pill doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke.
During the monthly status conference with the federal judge in New Orleans coordinating most of the massive litigation, Orran Greer of claims administrator BrownGreer PLC said 49,954 eligible claimants have now registered for a settlement. That amounts to more than 97 percent of claimants eligible for the settlement - well above threshold levels the company required for the deal to proceed - and most of the others cannot be located by their attorneys, Greer told US District Judge Eldon Fallon.
Greer said Merck waived its right on Aug. 4 to walk away from the settlement and, over the next two days, deposited $500 million in one escrow account and gave the claims administrators a letter of credit worth as much as $4.1 billion to cover payments to claimants.

Colori Kitchen Restaurant Review: Colori Kitchen is one of downtown L.A.'s best-kept secrets and many Angelenos---particularly the loft dwellers that sustain it and other restaurants---have taken to this unpretentious family-operated spot. The dining room is a simple space with worn brick walls, exposed ducts and black-and-white photography, and the menu is equally unassuming. Start with a simply dressed arugula salad topped with shaved Parmigiano before moving on to pumpkin ravioli in a silky walnut sauce or a wild mushroom risotto. Cioppino is very popular here, but we also admire the rich, hearty spaghetti carbonara. Truffle-scented rack of lamb in mustard sauce will set you back little more than the pasta dishes at some of downtown's pricier Italians, and the tiramisu and chocolate tart are fine finishes. There's no liquor license here, but you're welcome to bring your own bottle with no corkage fee, and the service is warm and welcoming.

FL Sizing for AR15
Hi Guys, great forum, first post. (First of many I assume) Anyway I am new to reloading, I have loaded about 400 rounds of .223 for my rem 700 sps tac, and they have performed excellently. I have been neck sizing and bumping back 1 tho when needed. I am going to start loading some brass for my AR tonight. I have 200 rounds of Hornady brass fired once from my AR. In regards to bumping the shoulder back when I measure the fired cases I am getting headspace readings of 1.454-1.460.(Using Hornady Guage) I know I need to bump the shoulder back around 4 tho but since the averages are so far off I am wondering how I should set up my die. Should I set up to bump back 4 tho off 1.460? If I set up that way will it leave the 1.454's alone or will it bump them back even farther? I am worried about too much headspace on the shorter rounds. Also is that much deviation with fired cases normal? If it makes a difference I will be working up a load on a single stage and then going to progressive once I find one that works.
Thanks in advance!!!!

2. FULL LENGTH RESIZE for the AR (and all gas guns) as a matter of discipline. You are not about to wind up with "excess headspace" since the sizing die is designed to produce SAAMI spec dimensions. If you want target dimensions, measure a commercial/military unfired round and standardize on that.
3. Others might suggest fiddling with things to bump the cases to just clear bolt closure, but not at this stage of the game.
As point of reference, here's the SAAMI diagram:
Civilian GO 1.4640" (min headspace)
Civilian NOGO 1.4670" (max headspace) -- Note: military NOGO is somewhat longer (FIELD gauge can be 1.4730
If you want to be totally blown away, take a look at how things vary for max:
But remember, your Hornady is a comparator gauge, not an actual true-blue headspace gauge. Take a reading off a commercial round for baseline.

When: Fri., Nov. 23 2012
For hardcore cinephiles, the only thing more thrilling than a great new film is when a potential lost classic resurfaces. Wake in Fright is a 1971 Australian thriller based on a longtime bestseller about a schoolteacher posted in the outback who finds himself stuck in a terrifyingly savage town while attempting to take a trip home. The film played Cannes in its initial release and got great reviews but spent the intervening decades unavailable on VHS, DVD or even on television. Reasons vary, though the uncompromising violence (footage from a real kangaroo hunt is used) hit close to home for many, especially those in Australia. Negatives usable for restoration and DVD transfer were finally found by the film's original editor in Pittsburgh in a container marked "For Destruction" in 2004, and in 2009, a restored print picked by Martin Scorsese became only the second film to play Cannes twice. Now you can see Wake in Fright yourself for one week only at the Carolina—and to see if it's as unsettling today as it was back then. —Zack Smith

The Roast and Toast – A Bourbon and Coffee Cocktail
We are playing around with some of our boozy marshmallows and one thing we kept doing was toasting marshmallows because lets be honest, who doesn't like toasting marshmallows?

Corona (Calif.) Santiago running back Ryan McCants was far from a sleeper a few weeks ago as he was already holding scholarship offers from some major programs. That being said, it wasn't until his dominant performance over a very talented Servite, Anaheim team last weekend that he became one of the most talked about players in the state.
McCants, 6-2, 230 pounds has become almost a household name over night and there isn't a player in the state generating more of a buzz right now. The running back ran over, around and through one of the top defenses in the state to the tune of 206 yards and three touchdowns as Santiago beat Servite 23-9, a win some are calling the programs biggest in the last 10 years.
"It was definitely a great win for our program," Santiago coach Steve Mitchell said. "It wasn't just the win on the field, it was big because our area loses so many players every year to schools like Servite and others in the area. We have some great programs right here with Centennial, Norco, and Corona and I never understood why kids would choose to leave when there is great football being played right here."
Article Continues Below
McCants earned all-CIF honors a year ago after rushing for 1,439 yards and 13 touchdowns and is arguably the top big back in the state. He has the ability to play fullback, tailback in a single back offense or linebacker on defense.
"I think Ryan's preference would be to play in a single back offense because that's what we do here," Mitchell said. "Honestly though, Ryan is such a good kid that he'll do whatever anyone asks him. He has an incredible work ethic and in the summer, was always the first one in the weight room and the last one to leave. He was voted team captain and it sure makes it easier as a coach when your best player is your hardest working player as well."
On the recruiting front, McCants holds offers from Mississippi, Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona State and Nevada.
"Those are all in writing, there are others who have verbally offered but we only count the ones in paper," Mitchell said. "Ryan is going to visit Colorado this weekend (Sept. 15) and has trips set with Nebraska and ASU as well but I don't remember the dates on those two off the top of my head.
"The schools that have offered are his favorites but he really likes the Pac 10 and the idea of staying close to home so I think if either USC or UCLA were to offer, they would jump way up on his list. USC was at the game against Servite and I'm be real curious to see if they pick up their interest. Right now, just about all those schools like Ryan as an athlete and I think it depends on what kind of offense the team runs in order to see where he'll fit in at the next level.
"Nebraska originally loved him on defense. Ryan has a great frame and will be easily be able to put on another 20 pounds or so. Plus he has great feet and hips but once they saw film of him running the ball, now they like him just as much on offense. Not a lot of schools run a one back set but Ryan is the kind of big back that can just wear a team down. He's a legit 4.6 (40) guy with great vision. Early in a game, 1st quarter, you may hold Ryan to three or four yards but by the fourth quarter, now he's getting seven and eight yards a pop with the ability to bust a big one any time.
"As for when he'll make his decision, I really can't see Ryan taking all five trips. He's a really shy kid who doesn't like a lot of attention so I'm not sure how he'll like all his visits where they really wine and dine you. Plus how many kids really take all five, after awhile, they just become exhausting and I would really like to see Ryan commit earlier than later so he can get back to focusing on the season and doing well in school."
Academically, McCants has scored a 940 on the SAT and is carrying a core GPA in the 2.5 range.


text: Sarah and Gisela, Yep I'd definately let you know how to do it. Right now my idea seems to be to have the user enter Title, Author, select a category and then you would need to enter the BookShare ID of the book. To find the BookShare ID, you can go to the book that you want to know's page. Then copy the last part of the address. The full address would look similar to: http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=19889 In this case you would want to copy 19889. The site would then build the links for you depending on what category you selected when browsing. So yes, somewhat similar to LJs. I'd be interested in a small beta period as well if anyone is interested.

London, Aug 26 (IANS) Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has wooed audiences the world over with his prowess on screen, but one of his biggest fans is his mother.
Cumberbatch, who essayed the role of Hamlet on stage at the Barbican theatre here, made his mother, actress Wanda Ventham "extraordinarily proud", reports mirror.co.uk.
Speaking after his performance, Ventham said: He was quite lively growing up, but I thought that was phenomenal," she added.
The "Sherlock" star will be playing the lead role in the Shakespeare drama until the end of October.
"The Imitation Game" star's parents joined a host of celebrities, including his wife Sophie Hunter, in the audience.
"Downton Abbey" stars Dan Stevens and Allen Leech were also among the celebrity guests.
"Sherlock" writer Mark Gatiss, a close friend of Cumberbatch, said he was also "very proud".

On Jan. 9, the fourth grade students of Good Shepherd School celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany in a fun and unique way.
The class held a baby shower in honor of the Wise Men, or Magi, visiting the infant Jesus. Students were asked to bring a gift, which ranged from diapers, wipes, toys, and infant outfits. All of the gifts were donated to the Pacifica Resource Center to help new or struggling moms.
The Pacifica Resource Center has been helping residents since 1974.
"It felt good that I could help another person. I hope that someone who needs it gets it for their baby," said fourth grader Faith Conry. The students were treated to traditional baby shower games that included a baby memory game, blindfolded diaper changing, and guessing baby food. Grace Harrington, a fourth grade student, commented, "The games were really fun to play, it was cool that you got a prize if you won."
Students were even treated to cupcakes and juice from their classroom room moms, Ginny Ormando, Jeannie Peil, Maureen Harrington, and Maria Eichensehr.
The idea for the party started last year by the classroom teacher, Ms. Stephanie Quinlan. Good Shepherd School focuses on educating the whole child, especially the value of being an active member of the community.
Good Shepherd will be hosting an Open House on Sunday, Jan. 27, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. when members of the community are encouraged to visit and learn more about the school. For those unable to make the Open House, please visit the website www.goodshepherdschool.us or phone the office for a tour, please contact 359-4544.

These days, $64.99 won't get you anything from a Jordan Brand catalog. Twenty-five years ago, that amount of cash got you a new pair of the Air Jordan 1. These days, the Air Jordan 1 gets re-released in a ton of colorways – maybe too much for its own good – but in 1985, when the Air Jordan 1 first released, there were nineteen different colorways, one of which was this White and Metallic Green colorway you see here. It might look a bit familiar to you, as a similar version was released in 2008 as the Air Jordan 1 'Do The Right Thing', but the colorway actually dates back to before that Spike Lee joint was ever made. Sneakers are one of the most difficult items to preserve and this OG pair you see here surely has seen better days, as the metallic green leather has dried up and cracked, but these are still a vintage gem. Someone's definitely out there willing to pony up the right amount of cash for these hard-to-find Air Jordan artifacts. If you've never known about this colorway, check out the detailed shots after the jump and check out the auction from sole_supreme on eBay.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico {AP} The U.S. Navy on Tuesday began investigating what went wrong when two jets on a Kosovo training mission accidentally fired 500-pound bombs that killed a civilian security guard on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques.
Four other people suffered minor injuries during Monday night's incident, which renewed an outcry against the U.S. military presence on Vieques, 50 miles east of San Juan and site of some of Puerto Rico's best beaches and fishing grounds.
Gov. Pedro Rossello wrote to President Clinton asking for an immediate end to the bombing exercises, and Vieques Mayor Manuela Santiago called on the Navy to "cease and desist from these practices that have so damaged our island."
Last month, Puerto Rico's Senate called for an end to the use of live ammunition on the island of 9,400 people, saying the military was dropping bombs and shells on Vieques at a rate of up to 20 a minute recently.
The Navy said it was the first serious accident in decades of operations on Vieques.
On Monday night, two F-18s based on the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy missed their target and dropped bombs on a communications tower in the military zone of Vieques. The aircraft belonged to Marine Corps Fighter Squadron 251 based in Beaufort, S.C.
Navy spokesman Scott Bassett confirmed that the John F. Kennedy is training to relieve the Theodore Roosevelt, which is in the Adriatic helping the allied forces.
David Sanes Rodriguez, a 35-year-old guard, was killed instantly by the bombing, Navy spokesman Robert Nelson said.
"I hope this will lead to an end of the (Navy's) abuse of Vieques and that the death of our brother will not be in vain," said the victim's brother, Miguel Sanes Rodriguez.
Three federal guards and a military observer suffered minor injuries when windows shattered in the tower where they had been directing the bombers.
The victims all from Vieques were treated and released at the hospital at Roosevelt Roads Naval Station.
American troops and armies and navies from around the world have used Vieques to prepare for military engagements since 1941, when the government bought the land for $1.4 million.
From ships and aircraft, they drop bombs on the hilly outcrop above coral reefs and conduct other military exercises an average of 235 days a year.
"Vieques lives under the continual danger that this type of situation will happen," said Robert Rabin, president of the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques.

Woods wins youthful battle
Woods held on to a narrow advantage
Tiger Woods won a thrilling battle between the youngest two golfers at the US PGA at Medinah in Chicago.
Americans Jay Haas and Stewart Cink shared third spot two further back.
At one stage Woods had looked certain of winning the second major of his short career, five shots clear and seemingly cruising.
The Spaniard was trying to become the youngest major winner for 129 years, but has the massive compensation of clinching a Ryder Cup debut for next month's match in Boston.
Click here for collated third round scores.
He will be the youngest player in cup history after winning a place in only four months as a professional.
Minutes later Woods had his first bogey of the day on the 12th, then double-bogeyed the 13th.
The gap was down to one as a result, but then Garcia faltered, driving into the trees on the 15th, which he bogeyed.
An impossible shot
When the teenager drove directly behind a tree on the 452-yard next his hopes appeared over.
In the style of mentor Seve Ballesteros he went for the green, taking his eyes off the ball as he played outrageously.
He then chased after the shot, leaping partly to see where the ball had gone and partly in delight when he saw how good the bizarre recovery had been.
It came down in the guarding bunker, and the alarm bells were ringing for the older man in an unusual position - under pressure from the young upstart.
Woods' recovery ran on 18 feet, and by missing the putt his lead over Garcia was back to one.
Relieved winner
But the Spaniard had run out of holes and after missing a 14-foot birdie putt on the last, left a 10-under target for the American, 11-under going into the last two.
Woods missed the green at the short 17th but chipped to seven feet and made it.
As the second went into the hole, the relief was obvious for a man who looks set for many more battles with Garcia in the coming years.
"Unfortunately I hit a couple of bad shots and I just tried to hold off Sergio," said Woods after hugging his mother, girlfriend and caddie.
"Sergio was playing wonderful golf, and you could see the fans rooting for him - and rightfully so."
'So much fun'
"It was amazing," added Garcia, who emulated Ballesteros' feat at the Open in 1976 by finishing runner-up in a major at 19.
"It was the best week of my life. I have never had so much fun playing golf. It was unbelievable."
He finished fifth, four shots adrift of Woods, but one ahead of leading British challenger Colin Montgomerie.
The Scot was level with American Bob Estes, who narrowly misses an automatic place on the American Ryder Cup team as a result.
Canada's Mike Weir began the round level with Woods but a run of four bogeys in five holes from the second and a double bogey at the 11th sent him back to share 10th.

Two very distinct versions of this recipe happen in my house depending on how much kitchen stamina I have. When there is a lot, I make up a batch of homemade teriyaki, usually throwing in a whole jalapeno for just a touch of heat in the background. When I have no willingness to cook, I use store bought teriyaki sauce. My all time favorite is by Soy Vay. Then you just layer up the chicken, teriyaki sauce, and some aluminum foil for easy clean up and pop it in the oven. This recipe also works great for chicken thighs and boneless chicken breasts, just reduce the cooking time.
One quick note about the photo. I cooked half of the chicken with the skin and half without, however I completelty forgot to photograph the skinless breast.

You can also use 3/4 cup prepared Teriyaki sauce instead of making your own.

The Nike Roshe Run is uniquely gifted when it comes to WMNS colorways crossing over to appeal to male sneakerheads. So that means that even though a significant portion of the patterned designs we've previewed in recent months turn out to be ladies releases, a good chunk of the Roshe faithful will simply adjust to the sizing and cop from there. For guys with bigger feet, you might not be able to get in on this pink-accented almost watercolor camouflage pair or its earthier counterpart, but the forthcoming tiger camo GPX editions have style numbers to indicate mens size runs. Check out more images below and stay tuned to Sneaker News because these hit Asia next Saturday, and if the past few days is any indication, there will be plenty of Rosherun news in the interim.

There has always been more to Meesha Shafi than meets the eye. Born in a family that has been associated with television for decades and a graduate of the National College of Art (NCA) herself, Shafi's aesthetic sense and understanding of media seems accurate.
Her smooth transition to the big screen after signing on to Bilal Lashari debut thriller Waar and reports of her being casted in Mira Nair's film adaptation of Mohsin Hamid's bestseller The Reluctant Fundamentalist, has shown that this diva is multitalented and motivated.
"Acting is a medium that begins and ends with role playing. I believe an actor's task is to bring depth and dimension from personal experience and expression to his or her character," states Shafi. "That being said, nothing trains an actor like theatre. There is no margin for errors on stage because you are in front of a large, live audience. I believe that my years of theatre experience is coming in very handy and of course, the acting gene that may have been passed down to me from my mother."
Speaking about her upcoming role in the Waar, Shafi says that the opportunity to play this role came to her by chance. The singer-cum-actor thinks that Lashari's film will be unlike any other ever made in the history of Pakistani cinema, due to the fact that despite being an action film, it will still be a visual treat for the audience.
"It'll be a breath of fresh air for our audiences and could, without a doubt, rub shoulders with any international action film. I can't reveal my role without giving away the plot, but I can say that it's a big departure from how women are usually portrayed on our screens," says Shafi. "The role has come about because it was meant to. I believe that is how these things work. I rarely ever believe in making plans or designing career moves. If I ever was to have a motto it would be 'Let the chips fall where they may'."
The transition to films, however, does not mean that Shafi is emulating her NCA alumni Ali Zafar, who first made a mark through music but of recent has become famous for his Bollywood films. According to the "Jugni" singer, any transition that may take place in the future will be carefully reviewed.
"There is great, as well as substandard, work happening across the border. If a particular offer is enticing for any reason and catches my attention, I would love to be involved no matter where it originates from. But I wouldn't jump at the chance to work in India just because it's Bollywood," explains Shafi. "Bollywood doesn't always impress me, and unlike so many others, I don't strive to incorporate Bollywood-ism into my lifestyle. I'd like to do projects that give one food for thought and are beautifully executed," she adds.
As for her music career, the desire to produce quality music still seems evident as the singer has lots of tours and concerts in the pipeline. Currently at the Baba Fareed festival in India, Shafi expresses the wish to have a 'fantastic' Sufi concert. The singer has already released a single for an NGO to promote tourism in the Swat valley and has also been invited by TED X to perform at a musical event. In her spare time, Shafi is working on new music and is spending time in the recording studio. Despite this, she emphasises that she will not be rushing into new projects, as she strongly believes that this creativity leads to suffering in the end.
For the multitalented artist, the rule is simple: take things one at a time and strike a balance between family and work life. "I approach the future with nothing but hope and prayers for our country. It doesn't matter how much one plans, the future of our careers depends on the future of Pakistan."

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Axion International for the installation of a thermoplastic composite bridge at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
New Jersey-based Axion International will install its composite plastics I-beam bridge for tank crossings at Fort Bragg. Officials say the bridge is capable of supporting as much as 140,000 pounds.
Axion International, an Analytical Surveys Inc. subsidiary, developed the composite plastics technology, made up of 100 percent recycled plastic, through a partnership with Rutgers University. Officials say Axion International previously installed a composite bridge at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.
"This order for a tank bridge at Fort Bragg validates the success of the bridge located in Fort Leonard Wood, which was constructed in 1998 using our first-generation technology," Jim Kerstein, Axion International chief executive officer, said in a statement.
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers strongly supports our innovative plastic composite bridge, due in part to their assessment that the Fort Leonard Wood Bridge has had virtually no maintenance and still looks like new nine years later."

With a little bit of help from Hollywood, the media has successfully created an image of itself as a doughty crusader against the hidden tyranny of governments and big corporations. The picture of a brave journalist, armed with nothing more than sheer doggedness, bravely taking on a sinister establishment and unearthing the buried truth has created a romantic aura around the profession. Indeed, the popular expectations from the media are dizzying. There is a genuinely held belief that the fourth estate is one of the custodians of democracy. In a battle between the government and the media, public opinion is invariably on the side of the perceived underdog-the journalist.
There are moments when this slightly skewed relationship is threatened. I vividly recall the unconcealed hostility that greeted every person with either a notebook or a camera in the Kensington Palace Gardens in 1997 after the death of Princess Diana. "You kill people," was the cold comment of an English grandmother as I was giving instructions to a photographer to shoot the mass of floral tributes that had been left for the 'Queen of hearts.' Diana, it was then assumed, had died because her car was trying to shake off intrusive photographers. The media was not the flavour of England that September.
I expect that mood of hostility to be as profound in the gentleman's clubs on Pall Mall this week. The report of Lord Hutton's inquiry into the suicide of a British scientist was expected by many to be Prime Minister Tony Blair's nemesis. Instead, it has ended up as the most damning and devastating indictment of the BBC. The public broadcaster, which is funded by a compulsory licence fee from every television set owner in the United Kingdom, has been charged with levelling 'unfounded' allegations against the government. Worse, Lord Hutton has suggested that there is a 'defective editorial system' in place in the BBC.
The impact of the Hutton report has been quite serious. Gavin Davies, the chairman of the BBC's board of governors, and Greg Dyke, the BBC's director general, have resigned. The acting chairman has issued a full and unqualified apology to all those who were maligned by a false story of the government doctoring intelligence reports on Saddam Hussein's weapons. Blair has gratefully and even gleefully accepted the apology and assured everyone that a simple sorry is all that he was seeking in the first place.
At the risk of offending the trade union instincts of fellow journalists, let me say that my sympathies are totally with Blair and his former spin doctor, the much-maligned Alastair Campbell. The BBC authorities should have known from the time Downing Street issued its first denial that the report of one of its correspondents was based on shaky foundations and could not besubstantiated. Yet, for the sake of upholding its independence, the BBC chose to stick to the story, perhaps knowing that it was wrong.
In terms of political positioning, the BBC was on firm ground. The British decision to back the US in the war on Saddam was not terribly popular. Consequently, the claim that some Downing Street apparatchiks had 'sexed up' intelligence reports to make the threat from Iraq's weapons of mass destruction more compelling, corresponded to the prevailing mood ofscepticism. At the best of times, it is just not done to believe that a government can be speaking the truth.
Yet, there is a difference between arguing against a war and claiming that the government had wilfully doctored intelligence reports. The former is an opinion and the latter is projected as fact. The difference, as any old-fashioned journalist will tell you, is not insignificant. Yet just because a fabrication bolstered a prevailing mood, the BBC chose to indulge in grandstanding. Many millions of taxpayers' money was spent on an exhaustive inquiry because journalists have bloated egos.
For long, many have felt that the English media is guilty of a soft-Left bias. It has assumed that what liberal journalists feel to be correct is both fact and reasonable. There is a profound arrogance in the media that prevents it from admitting it can be wrong. Any attack on the veracity of its assertions is invariably projected as an assault on the freedom of thepress.
Yet, as we well know, the media is not infallible. LastĀyear, the venerable New York Times was shaken after it emerged that one of its star reporters was guilty of both plagiarism and fabrication. The editor of a leading newspaper in Delhi had to resign some five years ago after it emerged that one of his articles was plagarised.
And how many times has the media been shown up to be wrong? Remember the so-called Coffingate allegations against Defence Minister George Fernandes? Did the media apologise to Fernandes for its malicious misrepresentation? Was there an apology to former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal for misrepresenting what he said in New York last October? Did the televisionĀchannel that falsely accused Law Minister Arun Jaitley of being fined by municipal authorities for breeding mosquitoes admit its stupid error? Did Time magazine conduct an internal inquiry as to why its India correspondent painted Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as a jolly tippler who is permanently out to lunch? Was there a grovelling publicĀ apology? Or was the justified outrage in political circles viewed in the press clubs as an assault on press freedom?
Why does fair journalism mean never having to say you are sorry? Why should apologies have to be forcibly extracted from errant media houses?
Over the past few years, many Indian politicians have argued in private for a media audit that would curb tendentious fabrication of facts. It is an idea worth exploring.
If the BBC, which used to set the standards of fair reporting, cannot be expected to play by gentlemanly rules, what is the hope that lesser institutions will play with a straight bat?

Woolworths Group PLC shares plunged nearly 32 percent Friday on rising market concerns the company might not be able to sell its debt-ridden retail business because of a lack of support from investors.
Shares in Woolworths, hit hard by a slowdown in consumer spending amid the economic downturn, lost 0.67 pence ($0.01) to close at 1.43 pence (about $0.02) on the London Stock Exchange.
The fall came after a newspaper report that a syndicate of Woolworths' lenders led by Bank of Ireland subsidiary Burdale Financial and GMAC Commercial – who loaned the company 385 million pounds ($574 million) in January – have refused to back a fire sale of Woolworths' debt-laden retail business.
The report said they would prefer getting their money back by selling the company's assets outright.
Woolworths' shares have now fallen 61 percent since Wednesday, when the company confirmed that it was considering selling its chain of 815 retail stores to restructuring specialist Hilco for a reported nominal fee of 1 pound ($1.50).
A sale would have transferred around 250 million pounds ($376 million) of Woolworths' 380 million pounds ($571 million) in debt to Hilco along with the whole store chain, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Friday, which did not name its source.
The debt transfer would have saved jobs at the chain of stores and allowed Woolworths to continue operating its two smaller, still profitable units: entertainment products distributor EUK and BBC program distributor 2 Entertain. In the last financial year, which ended in April, those two businesses made about 40 million pounds ($60 million) of profit before tax and interest.
Woolworths and Hilco both declined to comment on the report.
In August, Woolworths rejected a 50 million pound ($75 million) offer for its retail stores, which sell electrical goods, home wares and computer games, from Iceland Foods Ltd.
Britain's Woolworths was founded in 1909 as part of the U.S. chain, but the two no longer have any link. The company is also not related to Sydney-based Woolworths Ltd. or South Africa's Woolworths Holdings Ltd.

By Satisfied shopper from Princeton, NJ
We did all of the windows with Crystal Pleat blackout blinds from Blindsgalore when we moved into our place 13 years ago. We were very pleased - got tons of compliments from visitors because the colors are so nice and they do the job perfectly. We just replaced two blinds this year - and the quality is even better now.

Exceptional entrepreneurs leading social change
Exceptional, June - December 2014
Welcome to the online version of our award winning Exceptional magazine
Today's entrepreneurs are at the heart of business. They care about the impact their business has on the community, about their families, about their successors and about the legacy they leave when they retire. It's no longer enough to simply run a successful business; the entrepreneurs in this edition also strive to give something back.
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-president of Chopard, has merged his passions for creativity and classic cars in sponsorship deals with the Monaco Grand Prix and Mille Miglia rally. The company then used its increased profile to promote its efforts for sustainable luxury, partnering with the Alliance for Responsible Mining in supporting artisanal miners in South America and using ethically sourced jewels and fair-mined gold in its products.
Similarly, Ashish J. Thakkar uses his passion for Africa and its businesses to enable, empower and inspire other young entrepreneurs through mentorship and funding programs. His story demonstrates that age and background doesn't matter if you have determination and self-belief.
Narayana Health's Dr. Devi Shetty was inspired by Henry Ford's principles of economies of scale and has adopted them to provide heart surgery to those in need in India. He runs his business on profit, but he performs lifesaving surgeries for free.
Philanthropy has always been the domain of successful entrepreneurs, but far from just providing monetary donations, businesses today are actively using their expertise to help secure the future of others. Among them is Dr. Ruth Oltjer of Chemi-Pharm, who is not only providing lifesaving disinfectants to hospitals in Asia, but also empowering them with training in proper hygiene practices.
Alongside these stories you'll also find features on:
- How Ross Perot Jr. is forging a new future for his entrepreneurial family
- Why organizations need to re-think cyber crime and how to defend against it
- How Frank Eakin outsold the big publishers with 12 Years a Slave
