Chicago Bears Sign Brockton's Own Al Louis-Jean
Former Boston College defensive back and Brockton High School star Albert Louis-Jean was signed by the Chicago Bears Monday.
Louis-Jean, a Boston Globe All-Scholastic while at Brockton High School, played 23 games in three season for Boston College, tallying 36 tackles, an interception, two forced fumbles, and four passes defensed.
The 6-2, 195-pounder had attended the Bears rookie minicamp last month on a tryout basis, impressing Marc Trestman's staff enough to at least fight for a job.

VICTORIA, British Columbia — The Utah Grizzlies head north to Canada needing to win at least two of the next three games to bring their ECHL Western Conference semifinal series back to Utah.
After dropping a pair of 4-2 decisions on their home ice last weekend, the Grizzlies find themselves down 0-2 in the best-of-seven series, with Game 3 tonight and Game 4 on Friday night. Game 5, if necessary, would be played on Saturday at Victoria. If the Grizzlies can win at least two of those three games in Canada, Games 6 and 7, if necessary, would be played back at the Maverik Center in West Valley City.
Both Utah and Victoria continue to be undefeated on the road in the playoffs. Utah is 2-0 and the Salmon Kings are 4-0 outside of Canada.
The Utah power-play, which was a 6-for-17 in the opening round against Stockton, has stepped things up again in the second round. The Grizzlies are 3-for-5 for a 60-percent conversion rate against Victoria on the power play.Comment on this story
Utah rookie Matt Reber has now scored in all seven games that he has played with Utah, including all six playoff contests. He ranks second in the ECHL in playoff scoring with three goals and seven assists, behind captain Simon Ferguson, who has four goals and seven assists to lead the league.

Great job with the scoreboard. Thanks for continuing to improve the site.
[Deleted User] 9 years ago
Looks good... would like to see the scoreboard and box scores combined into one page. Maybe when you open the scoreboard it opens to your current box score with a sidebar scoreboard with all the other league scores and the ability to switch from one box score to the other.
scotto1959 9 years ago
gee wonder if nfl.com has that?
bkardane11 9 years ago
then go to nfl.com

lick lick lick Brian.
scotto1959 9 years ago
I would love to see this site upgraded to the quality of nfl.com, It's good as it is, but would be great if they got caught up to them, you think! Yes I like the added feature of stats, but much more is needed. Most of you clowns want logos. The fleagod said he has ample server space, so upgrade live scoreing, the box scores, and online trash talk between owners? You keep licking for little things, and us big dogs will fight for the t-bone!!
bkardane11 9 years ago
See scotto, thats the constructive criticism someone can get behind. Isn't it fun to be nice!

I cannot stand when people complain without offering suggestions to fix the issues. No one is forcing anyone to use this site. If you dont like it dont use it.
bkardane11 9 years ago
tell me about it
overachiever77 9 years ago
I love the upgrade to the boxscore. I appreciate the ongoing upgrades to the site. I'm also in favor of adding the sidebar with the other league scores. I think that would be another huge improvement to the boxscore page.
Thanks again.

Mark Twain: 10 letters from his readers
They were sweet, they were grateful, they were entertained, they were downright mercenary. The many fans of American literary legend Mark Twain ran the gamut – and so did their fan letters. Throughout the years, Twain saved a large number of the letters his readers wrote him and now Mark Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen has assembled 200 of these in "Dear Mark Twain: Letters from his Readers." Here are a sampling of ten.
1. Thanks for the laughs
Sir. I have just been reading Your "Roughing it," And I have laught untill the tears run down my cheeks at your confounded Oddities and lies. Beemis'es adventures with his Buffalo bull, fir-instance And Jim Blaines story of the Old ram Oh! get out, its enough to make a monkey laugh–

Why Preventing Pediatric Injury Death Is Only Part of the Puzzle
Nations Can Agree on Road Safety
An Additional Rating System for Infant Child Seats
Today, Consumer Reports released new infant seat ratings from its latest test protocol based on crash testing, ease-of-use, and fit-to-vehicle. After testing 34 commercially available infant seats, the consumer advocates group classified five seats as "basic," 16 as "better," and 13 as "best."
The Child Passenger Safety Technician community should be prepared to field questions from consumer parents who wonder how they should interpret these results. Is their "basic" rated child seat is still safe to use? Here are few points to consider:
Considering LATCH Improvements
Today, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released a new study in its latest Status Report regarding LATCH ease-of-use. Although child restraint systems (CRS) installed with LATCH or with a vehicle seat belt are equally safe, LATCH was mandated in motor vehicles beginning with model year 2003 in order to make CRS installation easier. However, research has shown that parents can struggle to correctly install a CRS using LATCH.

A Lesson in Royal Car Seat Safety: Part 2
Nine months ago, we blogged about the improper restraint methods used to transport a newborn Prince George of the UK home from the hospital. Unfortunately, the Royal Family is once again making international news for their concerning child passenger safety practices.

DriveLab: A New Tool for Driving Simulator Research
Driving simulators offer a safe, highly reproducible environment for assessing driver behavior. However, reducing the data to easy-to-interpret metrics can be extremely time-consuming and effortful. Even worse, it can be error-prone. My recent research involves the development of a tool to help standardize driving simulator results called DriveLab.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I have a basic pattern I use for simple JSKs already, so putting this together was a breeze. The only difficulty was that Spoonflower is pretty terrible at printing on the grain, and a pattern like this NEEDS to be on the grain. I had to cut things a little oddly in places since I had to follow the print, so I used a far heavier cotton to line the JSK top than I normally do. The creeper face was satin stitched on, and the back is shirred and has corset lacing. I dyed the lace at the hem too.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I have a very bizarre passion for Minecraft, and an even larger and more bizarre passion for creepers. One day I went on Spoonflower, found that someone had already uploaded the creeper pattern as a fabric print, and bought three yards of it to make this crazy dress. I make lolita dresses all the time, but this is hands down my favorite.
Hopefully I will be able to add more photos of this dress soon since I don't have pictures of it with the embroidery yet. It now says "That's a very nice everything you have there..." on the side of the skirt :D.

E-510 hotshoe
My E-510 hotshoe doesn't seem up to the task of securing my FL-50R. I never had a problem with my FL-36. When I mount my 50, even though it is screwed on tight, the hotshoe "wiggles" a bit. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a big deal?
On my E510 or the E520. The flash itself might have just an ever-so slight amount of play to it, but not the cameras' hot shoe.
HI Garrett, yes, this problem does effect some e510 users attaching FL50. I had the same problem. After some time the screws holding the hotshoe become less tight and the hotshoe starts to wiggle under the strain.
The solution is easy - you need to tighten the 4 screws holding the hotshoe in place. They are on top of the hotshoe, hidden under the small black metal plate. To reveal the screws, you need to slide the plate back.
The procedure is explained here:
You don't need to understand the Polish commentary, just scroll down and look at the photos.
Hope this helps.
Great! Thanks for the help Marcin...

For these courses, instructors may drop students who do not log into their Blackboard course and/or complete indicated activities by the third day of classes. DE instructors may drop students if they have not submitted work and/or accessed the class for two consecutive weeks.
There might be an instructional materials fee associated with this course. Learn more about instructional materials fees.
This class begins Jan 19 and ends May 27.

There are no required on-campus meetings for this class. You can attend an OPTIONAL, on-campus orientation to Online Learning on Jan 13 from 1 - 2:30 pm or Jan 14 from 5:30 - 7 pm in Room 2410.

If you are a procrastinator who relies heavily on the instructor for motivation, can't use a computer too well, have taken less than 21 units of college credit in your lifetime, and/or have a grade-point-average under 2.0, you should probably consider enrolling in a face-to-face course instead.

Brazilian footballer gets unexpected transfer… into the Ukrainian Military
A BRAZILIAN footballer now regrets the decision to change his citizenship so he could play international soccer for Ukraine – after he got called up to fight in the army.
Shocked Edmar Halowski de Lacerda, 34, had never considered the possibility of being dragged into war.
He was too old for compulsory school-leavers military service and Ukraine's government announced in 2012 that the system would be scrapped by 2013.
However, that changed when the country disintegrated and Ukraine's new leadership announced it was reinstating the military draft to address the "deteriorating security situation and threats from Russia along the country's border".
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov issued the decree saying Ukraine will conduct a draft for active military service in order to "to increase the state defence potential".
"I hadn't reckoned on this and although I'm a bit nervous that it might not get sorted out, I have to say that my wife is terrified"Edmar Halowski de Lacerda
The decree says: "Ukrainian male citizens who are physically qualified for military service, over 18-years-old and older and who have no right for exemption from military service will be conscripted."
And that means football star Edmar, who married Ukrainian native Tatyana in 2008, must report for duty.
He admits: "I hadn't reckoned on this and although I'm a bit nervous that it might not get sorted out, I have to say that my wife is terrified. I have told her not to worry though and everything will be fine.
"To be honest, I don't know what I would do if I actually went into the army. Playing football is the only thing I can do.
"I haven't heard that any of my team mates have been called up, but maybe nobody says it out loud."
For the last three years the midfielder has played for Ukrainian team Metalist Kharkiv.
The Brazilian came to the Ukraine in 2000 when he signed a contract with Tavriya Simferopol.
He played at the club for five years before moving to his current team and after getting a Ukrainian passport he also played for the national side where he was capped 11 times, scoring a single goal.
The games he played in included one against Poland in Kiev in 2013 in which the Ukrainians won 1-0.
Edmar, unlike many fellow South Americans, remained in the Ukraine despite the political crisis.
Those that left include six players from FC Shaktar Donetsk and Edmar's team mate at Metalist, the Argentinian player Sebastian Blanco.

It was a busy night across the association with a lot of potential honorees from a long slate of 10 games.
But the least productive player so far among Miami's "Big Three" emerged with his biggest game to date. Chris Bosh tossed in a season-high 35 points to direct the Heat's 123-96 blowout over Phoenix.
There were other strong games and others that weren't quite so good across the association. Here's a list of them.
Los Angeles Lakers G Kobe Bryant: Scored 24 of his game-high 33 points in the first half guiding the Lakers to a 103-90 victory at Detroit. Bryant didn't play in the fourth quarter.
Minnesota F Michael Beasley: Produced a game-high 33 points, including the game-winning jumper with 2.3 seconds left to boost the Timberwolves to a 113-11 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Los Angeles Clippers F Blake Griffin: Notched 26 points and a game-high 17 rebounds in the Clippers' loss to Minnesota.
Miami F LeBron James: Produced a near triple-double with 20 points, eight rebounds and nine assists despite sitting out most of the fourth quarter of the Heat's victory over the Suns.
Toronto C Andrea Bargnani: Notched a season-best 30 points and added seven rebounds in the Raptors' 94-86 victory at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia F Elton Brand: Scored a team-best 27 points and added eight rebounds for the 76ers in their loss to Toronto.
Boston F Paul Pierce: Produced 23 points in 27 minutes as the Celtics cruised to a 114-83 victory over Washington.
Boston G Rajon Rondo: Contributed a double-double with 12 points and 13 assists in the Celtics' victory over the Wizards.
Los Angeles Lakers F Lamar Odom: Produced 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Lakers' victory at Detroit.
New Orleans G Chris Paul: Provided 21 points and 11 assists to lead the Hornets to a 99-97 triumph over Dallas, avenging their lone loss this season.
Dallas F Dirk Nowitzki: Scored a game-high 29 points and nine rebounds fo the Mavericks in their loss to New Orleans.
New Orleans F David West: Produced 17 points and added two critical steals in the final minute to preserve the Hornets' victory over Dallas.
Oklahoma City's ball movement: The Thunder passed for a season-high 26 assists and turned the ball over a season-low eight times to pave the way for their 116-99 triumph over Houston.
Houston F Luis Scola: Scored a game-high 26 points and shared game honors with eight rebounds in the Rockets' loss at Oklahoma City.
Utah G Deron Williams: Produced team-high totals of 23 points and eight assists in the Jazz's 98-88 triumph over New Jersey.
Utah F Paul Millsap: Notched 19 points, 15 rebounds and four assists in the Jazz's victory over New Jersey.
San Antonio G Tony Parker: Garnered team-high honors of 21 points and seven assists in the Spurs 103-94 victory over Chicago.
San Antonio F Tim Duncan: Had a strong fantasy game with 16 points, 18 rebounds and five assists in the Spurs' victory over Chicago.
Chicago G Derrick Rose: Scored 33 points for the second night in a row in the Bulls' loss at San Antonio.
New York's forwards: Amar'e Stoudemire and Danilo Gallinari combined for 54 points to lead the Knicks' 113-106 triumph at Sacramento. Both players had 27 points in Wednesday's game. They have combined for 99 points in the last two nights.
Chicago F Taj Gibson: Continued his struggles by missing all seven shots against San Antonio, making him 1-for-16 over the past two nights. Before those two games, he had been hitting 60 percent from the field.
Phoenix G Steve Nash: Produced only two assists, including none in the first half, in the Suns' loss at Miami. It was his lowest assist total since Dec. 29, 2008, and marked only the ninth time in 737 career games with at least 29 minutes in a game where Nash had two assists or less.
Toronto G Jarrett Jack: Clanked through a 2-for-13 shooting night with six points in the Raptors' victory over Philadelphia.
Washington's offensive execution: Playing without starting rookie point guard John Wall, the Wizards produced a season-low 12 assists in the Wizards' loss to Boston.
Detroit G Richard "Rip" Hamilton: Ejected with two technicals after playing less than five minutes in Detroit's loss to Los Angeles. Hamilton was tossed after he complained about being called for a foul on Kobe Bryant.
Los Angeles Clippers G Rasual Butler: Struggled through a 2 of 10 shooting night and was limited to six points in the Clippers' loss to Minnesota.
Houston F Shane Battier: Hit only 1-for-6 shots for three points against Oklahoma City. Battier missed all three of his 3-point attempts and was 1-for-4 from the line.
Dallas G Jose Berea: Hit only 2 of 13 shots, including missing all five 3-pointers in the Mavericks' loss at New Orleans.
New Jersey F Travis Outlaw: Missed his first 10 shots en route to a miserable 1-for-12 shooting night and only three points in 37 minutes in the Nets' loss at Utah.
Sacramento's perimeter shooting: The Kings clanked their way to a 4-for-15 shooting from behind the 3-point arc (26.7 percent) and are a combined 6-for-33 (18.2 percent) over the last two games.

Two summers ago, 20-month-old Nicolaus Arthur Brayton died from eating E. coli-tainted ground beef.
He left behind a twin sister, an older brother and a mother and father who are still coming to terms with his death.
Tom Brayton, Nicolaus' father, has become involved with making sure rules and regulations that are supposed to guard against food-borne illnesses are enforced rigorously by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 37-year-old Parsippany resident spoke to reporters this week in Washington, D.C., about his son's death and how it could have been prevented. He also testified before the National Academy of Sciences in the nation's capital in August. Safe Tables Our Priority, or STOP, a nonprofit organization comprised of victims of food-borne illnesses, asked Brayton to speak at both events.
"Our organization released a letter to President Bush asking him to grant the USDA authority to recall contaminated food," STOP Executive Director Karen Taylor Mitchell said Thursday. "They don't have that authority right now. Toys and tires can be recalled by the government if they're defective. Food can't."
In addition to stopping the spread of E. coli, Brayton said he wants to stop other food-based illnesses, such as listeria. The disease was found in a drain at the Wampler Foods plant in a Philadelphia suburb, leading to the largest meat recall in U.S. history.
Texas-based Pilgrim's Pride, owner of Wampler Foods, announced a nationwide recall of 27 million pounds of turkey and chicken products earlier this month after tests found listeria in the drain.
A potential E. coli outbreak also was attributed to the Colorado-based ConAgra Foods recall of approximately 19 million pounds of beef trim and fresh and frozen ground beef in July.
The CDC reports an estimated 73,000 cases of E. coli each year across the nation, with 61 deaths. But health officials say the disease isn't always reported to authorities because many people simply think they have a stomach virus.
Brayton on Thursday said food companies and those who distribute beef need to ensure that all safety standards are met, and that the government needs to hold accountable those responsible for failing to meet safety requirements.
"I want to get the USDA to try to figure out who they're working for us or their corporate profits," Brayton said.
One positive step would be for the federal government to give the USDA the power to close unfit meat processing plants and issue mandatory meat recalls, Brayton said.
Matt Baun, a spokesman for the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service, said his agency does close unsanitary plants.
"We have done that. We shut down plants all the time," Baun said. He added that the department did close the processing plant in Pennsylvania where listeria recently was discovered.
The USDA does not, however, have the authority to order meat recalls, said Baun, who added that the current voluntary recall system works.
"The voluntary recall is much more efficient and much more timely," he said.
Baun said the biggest priority is getting suspect meat quickly off the market, and that it likely would slow down that process if the government were in charge of ordering a recall. He said no meat company has ever refused a recall upon hearing of a positive test for a food-borne illness.
Should a company refuse, Baun said, the government does have seize-and-detention authority, meaning that the USDA can go to retail markets and pull the tainted products off the shelves.

Boston should put the Rays out of their misery – for good
It must be misery in St. Petersburg, Fla. today.
Maybe it's time to put them out of it.
The Red Sox are headed to the American League Championship Series after a nail-biting, 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the ALDS Tuesday night, a game in which Florida baseball fans banged out Tropicana Field for a second-straight night. An announced attendance of 32,807 showed up at the ballpark Tuesday night, one evening after 33,675 watched the Rays' dramatic win in Game 3.
Neat. Maybe a third of them will show up for Opening Day in April.
Baseball in the Sunshine State is dead, but hey, it was a good run. The Marlins won a pair of World Series titles, the Rays have an American League pennant, and Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria even got to swindle hundreds of millions of dollars out of Miami for a hideous ballpark, which should be a lesson to the good citizens of Tampa-St. Pete. Folks, the Trop may be a dump, but you'd be insane to build a new ballpark for the Rays.
It doesn't work.
It won't work.
Sure, it's cute when you show up when the Rays and Marlins make the postseason, but on the whole, baseball is to Florida what the groundhog is to Punxsutawney. It should show up in February and be forgotten by April. Not surprisingly, the Marlins and Rays ranked 29th and 30th in Major League Baseball attendance in 2013. That's dead last and dead laster. The Rays spent approximately $60 million on payroll this past season, while the Marlins dished out around $40 million for a last-place finish in the National League East. Only the Houston Astros stole more of baseball's revenue sharing cash flow than Florida managed.
If you build they will come? Only in Iowa.
Clearly it's time for retraction – once Bud Selig's failed attempt to rid Minnesota of the game – or relocation, the latter of which is Major League Baseball's only option as far as the union is concerned, barring expanding every day rosters to 27. Las Vegas is calling, St. Pete. Portland is calling, Miami.
Maybe Boston should be as well.
Let's stop with the nonsense of the Hub thinking it's a viable option for the 2024 Summer Olympics. If the Democratic National Convention taught us anything, it would be a crippling nightmare for the city and region, which frankly, is more suited for a more spread-out Winter Games. Chicago spent an estimated $100 million only to be rejected for the 2016 Olympics, which went to Rio de Janeiro. That's only $42 million less than the Red Sox decided at one point to waste on Carl Crawford.
Despite Boston's sparkling new waterfront developments over the past decade, the Sox aren't going anywhere, firmly entrenched in the Fens, in a home that – for all its faults – remains a gem of the game. But doesn't the Seaport just scream for a ballpark, one that could be on par with the likes of San Francisco and Baltimore? It's one of the more vibrant areas in the city, and a baseball team would simply be the jewel the area needs to complete an area Boston long forgot before the current revitalization.
Yes, yes, there's the option of the Revolution building a stadium there too, which would be fine, but wouldn't Boston be better off as a two-baseball team town again? It's been 60 years since the Braves fled Commonwealth Ave. and there is a pair of teams down south just ripe for new beginnings. All due respect to Vegas and Portland, but minor league baseball works just fine.
The new mayor's first bit of business (unless the school bus drivers decide to quit again) should be to hire HOK for the purposes of luring Rays owner Stuart Sternberg into salivating at the thought of a premium facility in a true baseball town. Move the Rays to the NL, the Marlins can stay where they are to even things up, then move them to….well, who cares? Topeka, you in?
Of course, it's never going to happen. The Red Sox have territorial rights in New England, and a long-standing fan base that likely won't sway sides, even if baseball moved the Rays to the National League. But even if the Rays played second fiddle in Boston, it couldn't be worse than being ignored in Tampa.
According to a 2005 Bloomberg piece arguing the existence of a second team in Boston, the city has only the sixth-largest local economy — but the five larger economies support two teams. And Boston clearly has the resources to get in on the action. Does it have the drive to do so?
Probably not. But that's not to say it isn't a tantalizing thought.
Until then, the Red Sox will just have to sign David Price.

While I was off last week, Matt Williamson did some pinch-hitting and ranked the NFC South backfield situations. He put the Carolina Panthers at No. 1.
No argument here at all. In fact, Williamson's case just got a little bit stronger.
The Panthers claimed running back Armond Smith off waivers from Cleveland on Tuesday and waived defensive back Reggie Sullivan.
This might not seem like a big deal because Smith has all of three career carries. But think about Carolina's coaching staff and think how the NFL is a copy-cat league. At least on paper, Smith, 5-foot-9 and 194 pounds, is only a slightly larger version of Darren Sproles. Refresher course time: Carolina offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski used to be an assistant in San Diego. Sproles used to be a pretty good running back in San Diego, before he went to New Orleans and became great last season.
Yeah, comparing Smith to Sproles is a big stretch at this point. But Chudzinski could be picturing Smith in some packages in which he would play a similar role to Sproles. Carolina already has a loaded backfield with Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams sharing the feature-back role and the Panthers added running back/fullback Mike Tolbert (another former San Diego player) this offseason.
That backfield could be even better if the Panthers sprinkled in a few carries and a few catches per game for a speed back like Smith.

Holy Cow!! Super Cute!!
I love these shoes. I'm thinking I want another pair in a different color because they are so fun. As others have stated, I did go with a 1/2 size smaller and they fit great. I'm having hip surgery in June and needed to find cute, comfy shoes that I could wear while on crutches and go in public without look like a goof. These are exactly what I was looking for.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: How do I get to the shifter linkage? on 1990 BMW 735i
Can I get to the shifter linkage through the shift lever cover? Do I have to access it from under the car? If it's through the cover how do I remove the cover. I've removed the rear part of the cover that houses the cigarette lighter and blower vents and also have removed the rear bolt that holds down the front part of the cover but can't figure out how to remove whatever else is holding down the front part. I have removed the shift "T" handle already. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

RICHMOND -- Gov. Bob McDonnell overcame history and at times his own Republican Party to finally pass a legacy-defining financial fix to Virginia's long-standing road woes.
Virginia governors are rarely effective in the fourth and final year of their one-term reigns. Yet over the course of the 45-day session that ended Saturday, McDonnell used the power of his office and the friendships he built during two decades in state politics to push through $3.5 billion in new taxes and fees to fill potholes, pave roads and unclog some of the nation's most congested highways.
"He and I were first elected side-by-side 22 years ago," said Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, one of 10 lawmakers who forged the agreement. "When he sets his mind to do something, he'll get it done. That's the kind of dogged worker he is."
In uniting the General Assembly around a transportation package, however, McDonnell divided his own party heading into an election year. While most Democrats supported the plan for higher taxes on shopping, cars, home sales and hotel stays, only about half of the General Assembly Republicans joined them.
The GOP pick to succeed McDonnell, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, twice nearly foiled the compromise he called an "enormous tax increase."
Conservative groups accused McDonnell of betraying the party. Del. Mark Cole, R-Fredericksburg, voted against the compromise and said "time will tell" if McDonnell is remembered as the governor who broke a promise to not raise taxes or the leader who finally fixed gridlock on Virginia highways.
McDonnell shrugged off any criticisms moments after the General Assembly adjourned, noting President Reagan raised the gas tax to fix highways.
"As I've watched conservatives throughout history, what they've tried to do is do the right thing at the right time," McDonnell said. "I'm governor of Virginia, and I'm going to do the right thing at this time to be able to grow jobs and create opportunities."
Though his fellow Republicans were reluctant to approve the transportation compromise, GOP leaders did do McDonnell a favor in his last session by avoiding divisive social issues, like abortion, that caused the governor problems in the past. Senate Republicans nearly brought the statehouse to a halt by ramming through a new redistricting proposing that inflamed Democrats. But House Speaker Bill Howell eventually killed the measure.
McDonnell, like his predecessors, labored for years to resolve the state's transportation funding problems before finally securing a landmark legislative victory.
"The governor, to his credit, started this process," said House Minority Leader David Toscano, D-Charlottesville. "If he signs this, it will be a key element of his legacy."
That will be critical as McDonnell contemplates the next step in his political career, which could include presidential aspirations in 2016.
"He's got a great record to look back on, but I don't know why he'd want to do anything else," Howell said. "Being governor in Virginia is the capstone of a career."

Not one to put on a coy act leading up to high-profile product announcements, Sony continues to gradually let inside information relating to its numerous upcoming gadgets trickle out. After confirming three Xperia Z3s are in the pipeline, one or several of which will measure less than 7 mm thin, the Japanese took to Twitter to tease the family's swimming abilities.
That Sony flagships, and occasionally even mid-rangers, have an innate love for water is no longer a big surprise. But the Xperia creators never settle for the predictable, so it appears the Z3 and Z3 Compact smartphones, as well as the Z3 Tablet Compact shall go deeper than ever before in their aquatic challenge.
Namely, the trio is expected to gracefully handle immersions in waters as deep as 2 meters, possibly deeper, compared to Z2s, which can barely survive at 1.5 m. Take that, Samsung.
Meanwhile, yet another source corroborates speculations the Xperia Z3 handheld will highly resemble the Z2, with a 5.2-inch Full HD display, quad-core Snapdragon 801 chip and 3 GB of RAM. 9to5Google further says the Z3 Compact is a 4.7 incher with a 720p panel and the same beefy S801/3 GB memory configuration, whereas the slate counterpart reportedly measures 8 inches in diagonal while retaining the larger phone's screen pixel count: 1,920 x 1,080.
What's interesting is the online publication tips the imminent arrival of a third Sony smartphone, the Xperia E3, aimed at budget-careful individuals with a moderate thirst for power. Allegedly priced at between $200 and $300, the E3 carries upper mid-range specifications: quad-core Snapdragon 400 SoC, 1.5 GB RAM, 4.8-inch 720p panel.

Bungee also provides a way to mash up with other Web services, Gardner said. Bungee is "on to something" that is a harbinger of things to come in creating a seamless relationship between development and deployment, he said.
As part of its launch, Bungee is offering reference applications, including a calendar application, WideLens, which integrates Microsoft Exchange, Salesforce.com, Google Calendar, and other sources. These applications serve as examples of integration offered on Bungee Connect; source code for the applications can be imported into any Bungee Connect account, modified, and used in commercial endeavors.
AJAX-enabled applications can be built and embedded within other Web applications, in SaaS solutions, or offered as a stand-alone Web destination.
Interactivity is delivered via AJAX but developers themselves do not write any AJAX. They use the Bungee Logic programming language for building application logic while the UI is built using a drag-and-drop metaphor. Bungee Logic features a C-style syntax and acts like Microsoft's Visual Studio development platform, Hintze said.
"We automate AJAX interactivity," while developers focus on creating applications and value, Ball said.
Development, collaboration and test deployment are free of charge on Bungee Connect; developers only pay when applications are used. Through a utility-based pricing model, businesses can expect to pay between US$2 to US$5 per user per month for a heavily used business productivity application or fractions of a cent per e-commerce transaction.
Bungee's grid infrastructure provides data on application usage patterns. Applications are hosted free during the Bungee Connect Public Beta program. The public beta program is expected to continue until the end of 2008, whereupon Bungee would launch the general release of its service.
"And [then] the world is a different place," Ball said. Some 40 developers worked to deliver Bungee Connect, according to Bungee Labs.

Solway Harvester's final sea journey
Click here for pictures of the salvaged trawler.
The Solway Harvester has completed its final sea journey after being salvaged off the Isle of Man.
The scallop dredger, which sank in January with the loss of all seven crew, has been towed into Ramsey Harbour after being lifted from the seabed by the salvage vessel MV Norma.
The crew of the Norma, who had hoisted the vessel using a huge crane on Monday evening, had waited for full tide before completing the operation.
The Kircudbright-based trawler is now expected to remain in the harbour for several weeks while the investigation into the cause of the sinking continues.
The salvage, which had been continually hampered by bad weather, began at 1900BST on Monday.
Divers had attached cables to the boat and the Norma was able to lift her from the seabed nearly two hours later.
So far, Marine Accident Investigation Branch experts have relied on video evidence collected by underwater cameras.
An initial report from the MAIB said that a hatch had been left open and liferafts were not attached to the vessel.
'Quick answers' sought
The bodies of all seven crewmen were recovered by divers in February, after the Isle of Man Government pledged to take the men back home to their families for burial.
The men were all from the villages of Isle of Whithorn, Whithorn and Garlieston in the Machars area of Galloway, south-west Scotland.
They were skipper Andrew Craig Mills, 29, his brother Robin, 33, their cousin David, 17, Martin Milligan, 26, John Murphy, 22, David Lyons, 18, and Wesley Jolly, 17.
"Right at the very beginning there was talk of containers in the sea, or it could possibly have been another vessel which didn't realise, or chose to steam on.
"There's never been definite evidence that there was not some kind of collision.
"It has been such a long saga. I think people are really in a sense relieved it is getting near the end of what has been a very sad business and we will get some answers, which may allow all the people involved to get on with their lives.
"The community will never forget this tragedy, but we all have to go on into the future."
Solway Harvester

BAGHDAD - U.S. prosecutors visited on Saturday the site of last year's shooting that left 17 Iraqis dead in a Baghdad square and briefed victims' families about the case against Blackwater Worldwide guards indicted in the deadly incident.
Five Blackwater guards were indicted last week on manslaughter and other charges for their alleged roles in the Sept. 16, 2007 shooting in Nisoor Square. A sixth guard reached a plea deal with prosecutors to avoid a mandatory 30-year prison sentence.
The shooting in heavy traffic at the central traffic circle sparked international condemnation, launched U.S. congressional hearings and inspired anti-American insurgent propaganda.

SALT LAKE CITY — In his first at bat Sunday afternoon, Vernon Wells slugged his first home run in a Bees uniform, likely sparking a firestorm of debates regarding his place and worth to the surging Los Angeles Angels.
The central focus is where exactly can Wells be inserted to the Angels lineup, which will most likely be sharing time with designated hitter Kendrys Morales and right fielder Torii Hunter when the current rehab assignment ends.
In three games with Salt Lake, Wells has gone 5-for-11 with three stolen bases including a homer in Sunday's 10-5 loss.
The torn right thumb ligament that sidelined Wells back in May should no longer be of concern, as suggested by Wells.
"I don't think my thumb's going to be an issue," noted Wells. "It's just a matter of how my body feels playing everyday and getting back into baseball.
Wells saw action through seven innings Sunday afternoon, and is expected to be with Salt Lake during the current home stand through Friday.
After Saturday night's game, Wells mentioned that playing during the daytime would be another test on his body. A 2-for-4 performance with a stolen base, an RBI and round-tripper Sunday afternoon was a welcome sight for someone striving to return to the MLB level.
"I think the last couple of innings caught up to me just standing around for a little bit out there," admitted Wells. " I feel like I was running well, and everything feels normal so it's a good sign."
The days are chipping away as to when Angels manager Mike Scioscia will have the daunting task of shuffling an active roster full of talent, including former Bees slugger and first time MLB all-star Mike Trout. Wells summed it up to the tune that should make Angels fans, at the very least, content with the pleasure of his company in the clubhouse.
"It's just a matter of giving (Scioscia) as many different tangibles as he can have," commented Wells. "As a manager when your able to mix and match and do different things, and have guys that can come in and produce you can't ask for anymore."
Wells went as far to mention the postseason, which is just around the corner and a primary focus coming on the backside of the all-star break.Comment on this story
"I know what my role is going to be, it's just a matter of helping your team win, and no matter what, your role is to help your ball club get to the postseason," explained Wells. "That's the only goal, and is the only thing that matters at this point."
NOTEBOOK: Luis Jimenez also struck gold in his first at bat Sunday, sending his ninth home run of the season over the left-field wall. Jimenez finished the day 1-for-3 with an RBI and run scored.
PEACE OUT: Paul McAnutly has been transferred by the Angels to Double-A Arkansas, where he will play but also double as a part-time coach. McAnulty was hitting .247 for the Bees with 23 doubles, 15 home runs and 56 RBIs.
ATTENDANCE: Just 4,135 baseball fans enjoyed a day at Spring Mobile Ballpark.

YF Carburetor Identification
When no carburetor number is present, you may be able to identify your carburetor by using the casting number. Keep in mind that the casting number is not definitive. In most cases this is enough to find the correct carbuetor kit, but it's another hint.
Check Balls
Check balls are often placed in the wrong hole, so don't assume you will find the correct size in the particular hole. To figure out which check ball goes in which hole, assuming you have two different sized check balls, look into the bottom of the holes and you should see which hole is bigger than the other. Simply place the bigger check ball in the bigger hole. Be sure each hole has a trough for the check ball to sit into. The check ball has to stop the fluid from going in one direction, so it will need to sit into a beveled edge hole. When there is no bevel, then it probably doesn't need the check ball. Once the check balls are in place you will need to test them to make sure they seal correctly. Use a test fluid, like carburetor cleaner (NOT WD-40), and a small punch to gently hold down the ball on it's seat and depress the pump in it's well by hand. If you get a hydraulic lock then you are good to go. On holes other than the accelerator pump simply watch that the fluid doesn't leak out. When the check ball isn't sealing, then you will need to re-size the hole by tapping on the check ball a couple of times. DO NOT use the new check ball for this. It could become mall formed. Use the old check ball if it isn't corroded or beat up.
YF Metering Rod Adjustment
The adjustment below is for early Carter YF carburetors that don't have an adjusting screw at the top of the metering rod. Most YFA carburetors would have the star type of adjusting screw. This adjustment is important and should be performed anytime the carburetor is rebuilt, or the metering rod replaced. With the throttle valve seated (this means the idle screw is not holding the valve open) in the bore of carburetor, press down on upper end of diaphragm shaft (C) until diaphragm bottoms in vacuum chamber. On carburetors which have the projection (D) on the pump lifter link, metering rod should contact the bottom of the metering rod well (E), and metering rod arm (F) should contact lifter link (G) between springs and at supporting lug (D). Adjust by bending lip (H) up or down. In the illustration there is a tool that can be used to hold down the diaphragm, but chances are you won't have one of those and it isn't that big of a deal to hold it down. On models that do not have the projection (D) on pump lifter link, the metering rod should bottom in the metering rod well (E) and flat of metering rod arm (F) should make parallel contact with flat of pump lifter link (G). Adjust by bending the lip (H) up or down.
Needle & Seat Some of our kits have two sets of needle & seats. One will be spring loaded and the other will not be. Try to use the spring loaded whenever possible, especially on off-road vehicles. The spring type of needle & seat keeps the float from bouncing on a rough road, which will allow too much fuel to enter the float bowl.What is the size of the vacuum advance port located in the throttle body?
The vacuum advance thread size is 1/8" FPT (female pipe thread), same as the fuel inlet thread.

text: Thousands of people on Facebook are demanding to know why Subway's so-called "footlong" sandwiches are only eleven inches long. I'm all in favor of people holding businesses accountable, but this protest strikes me as kind of sad. Even if you get all twelve inches of a Subway sandwich, you're still eating a Subway sandwich, which means you lose at sandwiches.

Nobel Laureate Prof. Carlo Rubbia presents his views on the "Future of Energy" at the Hubert Curien Memorial Lecture 2014
The Cyprus Institute organized the "2014 Hubert Curien Memorial Lecture" as part of CyI's celebrations for Prof. Herwig Schopper's 90th birthday. This years' lecture entitled 'The Future of Energy' was presented by the internationally known Prof. Carlo Rubbia – Nobel Prize in Physics, Scientific Director of IASS Potsdam, and Former Director of CERN. The lecture examined the challenges facing our current energy systems in the context of global warming. Prof. Rubbia presented an innovative approach to sustainability studies as well as research activities illustrating the climate change mitigation potential of a "methane-based" society, relying on low-carbon innovative technologies such as methane cracking and the recovering of CO2 for the production of methanol.
Through a broad analysis, Prof. Rubbia stressed below issues:
The conclusions derived from Prof. Rubbia's scientific view is that a coherent energy policy is required, strategic choices have to be made, relaying on innovative scientific and technological developments, in order to restore sustainable development and economic growth with the threat of facing global warming. Our society will depend crucially on uninterrupted and differentiated energy supply. Major steps have to be taken in order to avoid potential geo-political and price vulnerability. The human capital of the most educated society is a decisive factor for the establishment of norms of social conduct. We must recognize the duty to society in terms of long term actions rather than of immediate interests. Only through such a concentrated and coordinated effort, leadership can be targeted and the objectives of creating high quality employment opportunities and a better quality of life be met.
Carlo Rubbia is an Italian particle physicist and inventor who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1984 for work leading to the discovery of the W and Z particles at CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research). He is currently the Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam, Germany. He served as Director General of CERN and held the Higgins Professorship of Physics at Harvard University. He also served as President of Sincrotrone Trieste, as President of ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment and as a member of the high-level Advisory Group on Energy and Climate Change, set up by the EU. Professor Rubbia is a member of numerous academies and holds 33 honorary degrees. He is the author of more than 500 scientific papers and has received numerous honors, amongst which, the Italian "Cavaliere di Gran Croce", the French "Officier de la Legion d'Honneur" and the Polish Order of Merit. In August 2013 he was appointed Senator for life of the Italian Republic.
The ceremony was addressed by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Works Mr. Marios Demetriades, and by the Chairman of the CyI Executive Committee, Dr. Andreas Pittas. Among the guests were the Former President of the Republic of Cyprus Dr. George Vassiliou, Prof. Edouard Brezin, Chair, Board of Trustees, CREF, Prof. Herwig Schopper, Former Director General of CERN and Honorary Trustee of The Cyprus Institute Board of Trustees, Prof. Albrecht Wagner, Former Chairman of the Board and Former Director General, DESY, Prof. Emmanuel Tsesmelis, Senior Physicist, Director General Unit, CERN, Prof. Khaled Toukan , Director, SESAME, Prof. Luciano Maiani Former Director General, CERN, other members of the CyI's Board of Trustees, and many distinguished personalities from the scientific and the business world.

First she belittled the fact that Israel is more accommodating to gays than other Middle East countries.
"It's really simplistic to say that just because Israel decriminalized hoomosexuality in 1988 that we're supposed to ignore everything else they do, to say, great, homosexuality has been decriminalized in Israel, we'll ignore the siege on Gaza, we'll ignore the illegal wall in the West Bank, we'll ignore the treatment of Palestinian citizens in Israel." (In other words, it has nothing to do with gay rights, which is just a front for attacking Israel)
Then she declared that QuAIA would love to stand up for gay people in other countries, but they haven't asked.
"We are responding to a call from Palestine. That's what we're doing. Palestinian civil society has called for a boycott…and we are answering that call.
"If a queer group (from Iran) was like, support us, we would do it in every way possible."
It turns out QuAIA has actual letters from "Palestine civil society" requesting its help. Ms. Peto said she has difficulty understanding how that relates to Iran or Saudi Arabia.
"Palestine civil society put out a call in 2005 for a boycott, divestment and sanctions. We answered that call. How does criticizing Israel do any damage in Iran or anywhere else?"
So now you know. Iran, they'd love to help, but you have to make a formal request first. (Maybe you can get the address from "Palestine civil society") Unfortunately, no one has. Maybe it's because they're afraid they'd be hanged. Or maybe the Iranian government is telling the truth, and there really are no gays in Iran. (Because they've all been hanged) In any case, unless you directly contact QuAIA with a specific request for them to take action on your behalf, they will be unable to help. Sorry.

TweetIn the run-up to this summer's football frenzy, McDonald's Japan has added some alternative country-specific options to their menu, such as a "France burger" and a "Spanish omelette muffin". See below for their TV ad:
The Brazil burger, which features football-shaped buns, is already creating a buzz on Twitter, with lots of Japanese people sharing their amusement in photos and posts.
McDonald's Japan is also encouraging customers to vote for their favourite promotional burger via various social media platforms. The incentive is a QR code that offers you a discount on a promotional meal that changes every week (see screenshots below).
However, this seems like quite a long-winded process and the discount campaign has attracted some negative comments on Japanese social media. In a country where efficiency is revered, it is unlikely that many Japanese consumers will feel the desire to participate in such a time-consuming exercise.
One perplexed Japanese commentator wrote: "Why don't they offer 'British burgers' as part of the campaign menu? Football was invented in England! They should at least have fish and chips!!" Now that's food for thought.

Hey guys, I'm new here (obviously)
I got my Wii about 2 weeks ago, and plan on ordering my modchip in a few days.
I'm a pro X-Box modder, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the Wii can do.
I'm really hoping someone comes up with a way to use the "classic" Wii controller with Gamecube games. I dispise the layout of the buttons on the wavebird (its the only reason I never bought a gamecube)
I've owned nearly every console, but right now all I have hooked up in my living room is my :
it works out because I have a 250gb HDD in my X-Box, loaded up with roms, emulators, etc... Pretty much, I can play anything from my living room now, which is nice.
Anyways, Hi all, Nice to be here!

What apps will you put on your Google Watch? If you get one of these new devices to strap on your wrist, there are app developers that will have products for you, too. At the Google I/O conference, there were five marquee apps announced, in addition to those built into the watch by Google (like that crazy one that shows the time).
Each of the Wear apps is a companion to a fuller-featured Android app. In fact, Wear apps are bundled into the installation files with Android apps. If you have a watch paired to a phone and install an app that has a Wear component, you'll get it automatically.
Google Wear watches immediately start getting alerts from Google and some other apps on your phone. When I set up a new LG G watch here at Google I/O, it started to stream my Twitter alerts to me right away.

But if you want your watch to do even more, here are the four non-Google watch apps we saw at Google I/O:
A demo of the Pinterest Wear app at Google I/O. (Rafe Needleman/Yahoo Tech)
1. Pinterest
Pinterest lets people remember locations like shops, attractions, and restaurants. If you have a board with those items in it, you can have an Android Wear watch buzz to let you know when you're near one. One way to use this that sounds actually pretty neat: If you're visiting a new city and you subscribe to a board that lists good attractions in that city, you'll get alerts on your watch. Could be a good way to go exploring.
2. Lyft
The anti-taxi company (the one that puts pink mustaches on cars) will let you order a car to come pick you up from your watch. Why not just take your phone out of your pocket and do that? One less thing to drop, I suppose. You'll also be able to pay and rate your driver on the watch after the ride is over.
Duolingo will quiz your wrist. (Rafe Needleman/Yahoo Tech)
3. Duolingo
This free language-learning app gets a little Android Wear extension: flash cards. If you're learning a language, it can give you little cards of words and ask you if you know them. It's on the honor system, as there's no room on the phone to type in responses. But it might be nice to quiz yourself on a new language while you're sitting in your Lyft ride. Duolingo also has a Glass app.
4. Eat24
This one's the puzzler. From the Wear version of this app, you can order food from a nearby restaurant. The app learns your habits and is supposed to be smart about it. For example, if you often order pizza when your favorite team is playing, it's supposed to remind you on your watch at the right time and make it easy to place your order immediately. If you want to modify your order, you're probably better off heading to your phone or the Web. Or using the Pizza Counter app.
The Google Wear watches will also have Google's own apps, like the voice-activated Maps navigation, note-taking, steps tracking, your calendar, and more. When more developers take stabs at watch apps, we'll be covering those as well.
The All the Cooks watch app will control the phone's display (Rafe Needleman / Yahoo Tech)
5. All the Cooks
This site for sharing recipes has a very clever take on using a wristwatch as an accessory device. While you are reading a recipe on your smartphone, you can use your watch to advance through the steps. The watch is basically a remote control page-turner. So you can put your phone up on a shelf, or even behind glass, to keep it from getting splashed while you cook (the watches are water-resistant).
The watch app can also serve as a timer during cooking, and it has a nice shopping list (where you can check items off as you get them) for before you start.

Correction: A previous version of this story listed four apps. The story has been updated and the poll reset.

Computer Science Discussion
Create a class NodeChar that will contain the following private fields:
· Int number
· int lineNr
· int columnNr
· int data
These fields should have appropriate setters and getters.
The NodeChar class should have a toString( ) method that will print the fields of the record in a format such as:
( NodeChar XX XX XX XX )
The parentheses and NodeChar formatting will allow this record to be input by another program from a string stream.
You are to write a Java program that will read from stdin a stream of ASCII characters. For each character you should create an instance of the NodeChar class and then use the toString method to print the object to the standard output.
The output of this program should only be a sequence of records.

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
José Castrillón Henao was said to have cut a dashing figure on the streets of downtown San Diego. Partial to expensive Armani suits and accompanied by a flashy girlfriend, the Colombian native — who said he was a fisherman from Panama — made the rounds of shops at the Palladion and galleries in Seaport Village, snapping up diamonds, artwork, and custom-designed furniture.
He frequented one of the best units at One Harbor Drive, the twin-tower condominium project across the street from the convention center. His people told the sales staff at the condo complex that they were in the tuna business and were using the computers set up inside their 26th-floor condominium to track fish movements via satellite.
But federal prosecutors say Castrillón wasn't really a fisherman. Instead, they say, he was captain of a billion-dollar cocaine-smuggling empire for the Cali cartel. They say that during his five years as a part-time resident of America's Finest City, Castrillón injected millions of dollars into San Diego's economy. He indulged his fancy for garish, dolphin-themed furniture, ordering cell phones, and having a middleman pay Campbell Shipyard at least a million dollars to outfit his smuggling vessels, disguised as tuna boats.
One of his henchmen, the Feds say, was Manuel Rodríguez-López, a Mexican citizen who in the early 1990s arrived in San Diego and began assembling Castrillón's efficient drug-running fleet. The feds argue that Castrillón used Rodríguez-López as a convenient front man who purchased the condominium at One Harbor Drive in Rodríguez-López's name.
The good life didn't last, though. In April 1996, Panamanian officials arrested Castrillón in connection with the seizure of 12 tons of cocaine on a fishing vessel off the coast of Peru. Five months later, Mexican authorities busted Rodríguez-López at his office in La Paz, Baja California Sur. As both men languished in foreign prisons, the United States government filed suit in federal court here to seize the condominium at One Harbor Drive. No matter that Rodríguez-López's name was on the condo deed, they said; they had clear evidence that Castrillón's drug profits had paid for it.
But Rodríguez-López, who remains incarcerated in La Paz, charged with drug-related tax evasion, has at least one stalwart defender. Ken Hoyt, an attorney who operates out of a small, one-man office on a back street near the East County Civic Center in El Cajon, claims his client is getting a raw deal. Hoyt, who deals mostly with divorces and small-business disputes, says this is his first drug-related case, and before taking it he searched his soul. But he's convinced Rodríguez-López is innocent, the condo at One Harbor Drive really belongs to him, and what the government has said about him is a mishmash of slapped-together hearsay and lies from unreliable government informants.
Asked whether his client denies that he had anything to do with drugs, Hoyt replies: "Absolutely, 100 percent."
"Joe Keenan, my associate, Joe's a 30-year retired navy captain, he's 73 years old, he's done about everything," Hoyt says. "I took Joe down there to see my client and said, 'Hey, listen, if you think I've made a mistake, that I'm a terrible judge of character -- which I am, by the way -- tell me,' and Joe came out of that jail and he said, 'There's something absolutely wrong here.'
"This is a guy [Rodríguez-López] who from day one tenders to [the government] during the discovery process everything from his résumé of his entire life's work to how he made every dollar that he made for purchasing the condo," Hoyt argues. "This is a pretty draconian law when you say that all the government needs to do in order to take property is probable cause. So we're assumed guilty, and until we prove our innocence absolutely, we're still guilty."
According to the government, the case starts back in the mid-'80s. "From approximately 1986 to 1988, Manuel Rodríguez-López resided in Harlington, Texas, where he was a member of the Humberto Calero-Aragón cocaine-transporting organization smuggling cocaine from Colombia into the United States using trans-shipment points in Mexico," says a January 1998 affidavit filed by DEA special agent Kyle Scott.
"Rodríguez-López was responsible for coordinating and arranging for the use of airplanes and airstrips to bring the cocaine to the United States. The organization imported and distributed approximately a ton of cocaine per month during this period. López-Rodríguez [sic] disappeared from the jurisdiction prior to being prosecuted."
Hoyt says his client was in the maritime business, not drugs, period. He acknowledges Rodríguez-López might have known Castrillón, but only as an employee going by the name "Tovar," who Hoyt says had the keys to the San Diego condominium, which also served as Rodríguez-López's office. "He did hire that man [Tovar]. He was authorized to purchase ships, give us the best purchase price for fish, and like Manuel always said, everything was for sale, so if you could go out and sell my fleet, my boats, my properties for $30 million, call me, and if you've got a buyer, you've got a commission. So Tovar had access, could have used it, could have used the condo, so the idea that he could have been there had never bothered us."
On April 17, 1996, Castrillón was arrested in Panama, where he was known as a well-connected businessman who dabbled in local politics. In a statement later released by U.S. officials, Castrillón was called "the primary maritime transporter for and a member of the Cali cartel." They said Castrillón used the Colombian ports of Cartagena and Buenaventura to run a fleet of fishing vessels that were really cocaine-smuggling ships bringing tons of cocaine to the U.S. Castrillón's financial empire of phony companies and straw men owning everything from mansions to corporate jets allegedly ran from San Diego to Florida, Panama, Ecuador, Switzerland, Germany, and France.
After Castrillón's arrest, Mexican authorities targeted Rodríguez-López, who commuted between Panama, La Paz, Ensenada, and San Diego. They claimed their investigation showed that Castrillón had covered his tracks in Mexico by using multiple aliases and posing as an employee of Rodríguez-López's fishing company, Pesquera Carimar, which they alleged was actually another of Castrillón's many fronts.
