Sneed: Are Chicago cops protecting Chicago cops at O'Hare?

The gravy train. . .
Memo to Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, who istrying to keep the murder rate down:
How about eliminating the use of Chicago cops at O'Hare airport in order to put them back on the street?
◆ The buckshot: Sneed is told the Aviation Security officers at O'Hare International Airport, a state-certified police agency qualified each year to carry guns, are not allowed to carry their weapons while working — and are required to call Chicago police officers assigned to O'Hare if they need backup.
◆ The upshot: "It's a shocking and unnecessary display of overlapping — mixed in with patronage and seasoned like a gravy train," said an aviation cop who is a retired Chicago policeman.
◆ Sling shot: "It's a joke! Despite the fact we are trained at the Chicago Police Academy, need to pass state exams to become officers, and are tested each year to qualify to carry firearms — and despite the fact we are assigned to all checkpoints entering the airport as well as vehicle stops and searches — we need to call the Chicago police if we need backup!" the source added.
"It's like sending the Chicago cops to protect Chicago police," added the veteran cop, who claims at least 25 percent of the aviation patrol is made up of retired Chicago police officers.
◆ The kicker: "Although we are not issued guns, we are qualified to carry guns when we are off duty," added the source.
◆ The solution: "Arm the certified aviation police and you can put over 100 Chicago police back to street duty," he said.
◆ The response: The Chicago Department of Aviation has yet to respond to requests for comment.
Tipsville. . .
The Obama dance card: Sneed hears Deborah A. P. Hersman, who heads the National Transportation Safety Board, is expected to be named President Barack Obama's new U.S. Transportation Secretary.
Sneed wasn't smoking posies after all! Brit actor Damian "Homeland" Lewis may not be related to London Mayor Boris Johnson, but Lewis told the BBC his great-great grandfather, great-grandfather, a great-uncle, and his grandfather were all Lord Mayors of London — an ambassador-like position charged with promoting London financial and professional services.
The Daley file. . .
Smoke — but no cigar?
It looks like former U. S. Commerce Secretary Bill Daley, who was rumored to have lowered his sights on running for governor when Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan expressed interest the job, just put on his boxing gloves.
◆ To wit: Daley just authored an op-ed newspaper piece expressing amazement at our "dysfunctional" state government and it's record on pensions. That government of course includes Gov. Patrick Quinn and Lisa's dad, powerful House Speaker/state Dem leader Michael Madigan.
◆ Upshot: Ouch.
Tiger tales. . .
Legendary golfer Tiger Woods, who just returned to No. 1 in the golf world ranking, had this to say to the Brit press: "It's been a few years since I've felt this good!" Is it a coincidence that his return to his No. 1 happened at the same time his relationship with pro skier Lindsey Vonn heated up? Betcha. Betcha.
The squink patrol. . .
The NBC three: "Today" show host Hoda Kotb wasn't the only member of the peacock family to adopt one of the scruffy, homeless Chicago PAWS pets on her show Wednesday morning . . . a three-month-old Cockapoo named "Goldfish."
◆ Bow wow! Three dogs were adopted by NBC staff — but the three-year-old Maltese/Shih-Tzu named "Reeves," who was also featured on the show, will be heading back to Chicago permanently to the North Shore's Witten family, who had been fostering the PAWS pooch before his trip to New York.

Her touch was still fresh in my mind. The sun was beating down whilst i walked carefully up the stairs, stopping at the slightest of sound, listening hard for any sound.
Smoothly I walk up to her door step and knock, whilst I look down from the window to the street for someone peculiar.
"So you came."
"I had to, you sounded low."
"That's very sweet of you. Come in."
Her face was smudged; i knew she had been crying.
"So, father in law called, huh ?"
A smile lit her face up; just the way it should always be.
And then as if something deep inside snapped, a trickle of a tear escaped her eye. She turned to hide it from me. I moved closer to her, as her palm wiped the tears away. Her lips were half open, as she breathed heavily; with her eyes lowered and wet eye lashes, i cradled my hands around her face as she closed her eyes and suppressed her tears. Her black hair, fell from her forehead to her cheek, and then a tear rolled down along her nose, my finger reached for the tear and swept it, way up, clearing her face. She hiccuped, and then glued her eyes to the floor, slowly bringing her close, I hugged her.
Bringing my mouth near to her ear, I spoke,
"You are a good person, but the world isn't, i am sorry that things turned out the way they did, but i am here and here for as long as you want. Don't worry, we'll get through it."
"Thanks" she said as her face pushed against my chest, and her smile recuperated.
"By the way, when is your mom coming?"
There was the sound of footsteps on the staircase, outside.
"Now, it seems." she said and broke into a hysterical laugh. Half striving to think what to do, and half to revel at the irony; she whispered in my ear.
"Stand by that door, when mom enters from this door, i will signal you"
"Signal me how?"
"I'll say do you want to watch that movie we were watching last night, mom?!!"
"..Okay!" I staggered through the rooms and reached for the other front door; gleaming and freakishly scared.
"Oh! Hi."
"I heard some one's voice." A male voice came through and suddenly there was a whale stuck in my throat, I couldn't swallow.
"I was watching TV."
'"here is he?!" As the tone of his voice rose, so did the rate of perspiration for me.
"Get out the way!" And suddenly my knees wouldn't move, they were stuck, frozen, cut off… I felt like a lamb to a tiger, and I waited my atrocious flaying at the hands of a giant.
Adrenaline pushed through my veins as I heard closely for the approaching footsteps, but the only thing I heard was the pounding of my heart. To me it seemed the thumping was louder than the sound of his footsteps; and then i heard the blessed words.
"Now, do you believe me?"
"Yeah, i guess, it might have been the neighbors downstairs."
"You had to stand here to check?"
"So would you like to watch the movie i was watching last night with mom?"
"Yeah, i guess so."
And then i ran for my life!
And not for one moment did i look back to check. I just ran and ran and then drove as fast as i could until i was home.
The phone rings; it was her.
"Boyfriend's gone; So, would you like come over?"

Carole White & India Farrell
We've been waiting for what seems like eternity for the launch (party) of the new Ponystep Magazine and last night finally marked the end of the wait as Aunty Carole and Team Premier fled to East London to celebrate Ponystep's most fabulous issue to date – with no other than 2 Premierettes gazing at us from within the mag – both Carole and India Farrell look insanely cool (=Carole) and stunning (=India) which the images below will show! Accompanying Carole's image is a little homage to our Queen Bee: There are bosses, there are model bookers and then there is Carole White. As co-founder of Premier Models (along with brother Chris Owen), she has proved herself a force to be reckoned with. Her public profile has sky rocketed this year largely due to her appearance in Channel 4′s 'The Model Agency'; a fly-on-the wall documentary series chronicling the hectic scenes at Premier's Covent Garden office as the bookers prepared for the unpredictable frenzy of London Fashion Week. In a show that was in all honesty, a little 'slow', Carole lit up the screen with her straight talking, chain smoking profanities and general brashness. She was without question the star of the show.
But the TV stuff is over and its business as usual. And a very successful business at that. A former model herself, Carole's booking career has overseen the reign of the supermodels, the permeating influence of celebrity culture and a new era of young Eastern European models with their own formidable work ethic. Her direct, no-nonsense approach to her job is fortified by over 40 years' experience and a healthy dose of good, old-fashioned common sense. Carole White is no 'Asshole Idiot'.
On a different note, always one in demand for interviews, Boss Carole was asked to comment on the high lights from the recent SS12 shows on the Guardian/Observer:
The ice-cream palette
Ding-dong, the black capsule wardrobe is dead. Belinda Earl: "Soft pales stood out as the key colour trend." Heaven help us. Sun-bleached colour and – wait for it – tie-dye are also making a return. Think "muted brights". This trend is a real fusion of 1960s and 1980s influences: that ubiquitous Mad Men styling but worn by Bananarama. This cannot be a good thing, surely?
Carole White offers context: "Spring/summer is hard for designers. Winter collections are easier because it's easier for women to dress for winter. Summer is all about legs and arms showing …" She shudders. This, apparently, explains why the designers can go off on strange colour tangents in spring collections. Makes sense. No one would buy an orange winter coat. But maybe they can be persuaded to buy an orange summer dress? Indeed, orange was flavour of the month at DKNY and Derek Lam. It gets worse. Sam Baker warns: "Everyone will be buying yellow — sadly. Pretty unforgiving on most pasty British complexions. Maybe keep it as far away from your face as possible and start with shoes."

Hat tip to nycericanguy, who provided me with this link.
According to NBAEurope.com:
Italy are hoping to have Danilo Gallinari available for Wednesday's EuroBasket Qualification Round opener against Portugal in Sassari, Sardinia.
The Denver Nuggets forward has missed all of Italy's preparation games this summer.
Gallinari has struggled with a back problem and a right shoulder injury and has been out of action for 20 days.
If accurate, this is troubling news for Denver, to say the least. Hopefully we'll hear more from the Nuggets' medical and training staff.
UPDATE: In a recent tweet, Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post takes the scare off this report:
Some sites are makin a huge deal about a Gallinari shoulder injury, but I talked w someone close to him who said he'll be fine for camp
Hopefully that source is correct. Wilson Chandler is currently rehabilitating from the operation he had last spring, and ideally both he and Gallo will be back to full strength when training camp rolls around.

I think you're exaggerating the issue with Doomguard a fair bit.
Do you even play as a Demo lock?
Doomguard does about 1 million damage for me as Demo (16-17k dps) in the 65 seconds it is out. Adding another 45 seconds to the Doomguard's duration means another 700k damage which is about 1900dps increase for a 6 minute fight.
For affliction and Demo, the Doomguard does significantly less damage (about 1/3 the damage) for a shorter duration of time.
The two piece bonus for affliction/destro will only be worth about 211 dps.
Now people are claiming that perhaps Blizz meant to give Affliction/Demo an extra 45 and Demo an extra 15 seconds. This makes absolutely no sense, because it penalizes Demo for putting 2 points into Ancient Grimoire and I won't comment beyond that.

Assad: Israel rejects Arab peace efforts
Syrian President Bashar Assad accused Israel of stalling on peace efforts and renewed Damascus call for a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East based on U.N. resolutions and the land-for-peace principle.
"Israel has responded to the Arab peace initiative with procrastination, increased aggression and refusal to comply with U.N. resolutions," Assad said at a dinner he hosted Sunday evening for visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. His remarks were carried Monday by Syria's official news agency SANA.
"We in Syria and the Arab world call for a just and comprehensive peace based on resolutions of international legitimacy and the land-for-peace principle, a peace that restores our land and guarantees the rights of our people," Assad said, according to SANA.
Assad called for an immediate end to the U.S.-British occupation of Iraq and the formation of a national government that represents the Iraqi people's free will, the agency said.
On Monday, Mahathir told a news conference that the way in which the Iraqi Governing Council was established was "unacceptable." (Albawaba.com)

Randgold Hunts Growth in Elephant Country
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Randgold Resources' (NASDAQ: GOLD) Chairman Philippe Liétard concisely recapped 2012 in the company's recent annual report. He wrote, "There's an old safari saying that if you want to hunt elephants, you have to go to elephant country." Certainly political and infrastructure challenges of operating in west and central Africa became a focus for company stakeholders over the past year. However, despite the challenges, Randgold continues to benefit from its large, high grade gold mines on the African continent.
2012 earnings were up 12% with gold production up 14% to 794,844 ounces. Cash and gold on hand at the end of the year totaled $403 million even though capital expenditures topped $560 million. One negative: cash costs per ounce were up 7% due primarily to low throughput and recovery rates at Tongon in Côte d'Ivoire. Debt remains relatively low at less than $40 million.
Source: Randgold Resources' Annual Report 2012 (top three headers are 2013 guidance)
In-country turbulence
The majority of Randgold's production comes from its mines in southwestern Mali. Turmoil began in Mali last March when lower level military members overthrew the government. The coup has led to three governments and two prime ministers in a single year. Contributing to the chaos is the ongoing rebellion in the north of the county by Al Qaeda-aligned militia and the subsequent French military intervention.
The general turmoil in Mali has not substantially affected production or costs. In fact, Randgold's flagship Loulo-Gounkoto mine complex produced a record 503,224 ounces in 2012. Cash costs per ounce also improved to $738, a 6% improvement year-over-year.
However, the state of Mali has asked Randgold for $82 million for various unanticipated taxes. Randgold is disputing these taxes and believe mining conventions guarantee a stable fiscal regime and govern the applicable taxes. Interestingly, Randgold's other host countries, Côte d'Ivoire and the DRC also informed the company of plans to revise their mining codes and fiscal regimes.
Randgold's latest big game hunt is the Kibali mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company acquired a 45% stake in the approximately 11 million ounce project in 2009. The project is a joint venture between Randgold, AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) (45%), and a Congolese government enterprise (10%). Total production from Kibali for the first full year (2014) is expected to exceed 500,000 ounces. Approximately 92% of Randgold's 2012 capital expense was in Kibali.
Currently open pit production has begun with 97,000 ore tonnes mined in 2012. Underground development is underway with the vertical shaft platform and associated earthworks completed. Two ball style mills were installed in January ahead of schedule. Safety has been an issue with an elevated lost-time injury frequency rate and a fatality. Village relocation efforts are back on track after being slowed due to weather the first half of 2012. The project as a whole appears to be predominantly on schedule.
While AngloGold Ashanti will be growing production with the Kibali project (and a project at Tropicana, in Australia), they are not as focused on production growth as Randgold. Their focus is on improving margins. This is evidenced by their recent guidance that spending on exploration and feasibility will decrease 18% in 2013.
Source: Randgold Resources' Annual Report 2012
Randgold's Kibali project will increase consolidated group production by 20 to 25% in 2014. Despite fears, Randgold is not yet experiencing significant negative impacts from the inherent instability of their west and central African host countries. For those looking to add gold to their portfolio for diversification or hedging, because of the recent price pull back, or a belief that equities are topping, Randgold is an interesting option. Randgold has undiluted exposure to gold prices and a positive balance sheet but unlike the SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSEMKT: GLD) offers organic growth through its ongoing exploration and development.
For those considering gold exposure there are two additional reasons to consider adding a miner as opposed to the SPDR Gold Trust. First, there is increasing thought and discussion (CNBC's Rick Santelli comes to mind) that the SPDR Gold Trust is just "paper gold" that does not interest traditional gold bugs. Second, miners inherently leverage gold price increases; small increases in the price yield larger increases in earnings as a percentage. While as a whole the mining sector has not in fact benefited from gold's run, Randgold's price has more closely followed the price of gold and the SPDR Gold Trust. Over the past five years Randgold's stock price has mimicked the movement of gold prices, albeit in the aforementioned leveraged fashion. For comparison, over the past five years the SPDR Gold Trust is up 69%, Randgold Resources is up 55%.

It's never too early to think about escaping next year's cold weather, but what about the harsh summer temps as well? In this series of essays, we've looked at Oahu, the Big Island, Maui and Kauai, and it is now time for the next one, Molokai, and you can head there now to escape the heat, or plan ahead to escape the cold. Your choice.
To get there, the best option seems to be to fly into Kahului Airport on Maui and take a ninety-minute ferry to Kaunakakai Harbor. In the middle of November, the flight would be about $830 a person from Chicago to Maui for a weeklong stay, while the beginning of August is over $1,000 per person. The other option is flying to Honolulu and then catching a commuter plane to Molokai Airport ($1,030 and $1,150 for the same time frames as above, respectively), but come on, a boat ride is much cooler (and only $68 each after fees.)
In researching Molokai, the first thing that came to mind was its history of hosting those with Hansen's Disease (known in those times as a leper colony.) Since 1969, the order to keep sufferers of Hansen's Disease isolated has been lifted, but for over a hundred years, the sentence for those with the disease was to separate forever from friends and family. Today, you can glimpse life there through tours, either $199 per person for a mule ride or $69 per person for a 3.2 miles hike into the park and out. If you go in July, you may be able to catch a Christmas in July celebration, when once a year a barge arrives with supplies for the rest of the year.
Perhaps it is the perception of Hansen's Disease that has kept Molokai firmly set in the past, and therefore much less developed than the surrounding islands. Per National Geographic, it makes the top 10 of the sustainable and untouched islands of the world.
Once you've arrived at Kaunakakai, you can take a slow, (and they do mean slow – 45 mph is the highest posted speed limit on the island – just like the scenery, the pace of life is untouched by the modern day) leisurely drive to Halawa Beach Park. On the way, you can just enjoy coastal scenes, and when you arrive at the beach, you'll probably find yourself alone on this curved beach and free to explore on your own. You can also arrange to take a guided hike up to the 250-foot Moaula Falls. (Guided because it crosses through private property.)
Speaking of the guided tour, the Hotel Molokai offers the tours and a great place to stay. From there, you can go scuba diving at Hawaii's only barrier reef, visit the fish ponds formerly reserved for royalty or tour Purdy's macadamia nut farm. Eventually though, just relaxing and slowing down will get the best of you and fortunately Molokai offers several beaches where you can do just that. It is then that you will truly get into the spirit of this relatively unspoiled island.

5 Stocks to Buy Instead of Facebook
We can't talk momentum IPOs without bringing up Groupon (GRPN), a stock that's had a pretty dramatic fall from grace in the last few months. Shares are down around 50% since the start of the year.
Groupon's selling isn't showing any signs of abating. In fact, the downtrend accelerated back at the start of April. Shares have found support a few times during the downtrend, but it hasn't been particularly strong. Instead, those breaks of support have merely been good entry points for short sellers.
The most recent support level was put in yesterday at $10, solidified by a candlestick pattern called a piercing line. The bullishness is only a short-term signal, though. A break of $10 support is a solid short signal for Groupon.Some traders may have noticed that RSI is looking oversold right now. While oversold generally makes people think that a correction is in store, the fact of the matter is that statistically, oversold stocks are more likely to become more oversold in the short-term than they are to reverse. Whatever you do, don't try to be contrarian and buying this falling knife in the longer-term.

Kobra Kid's DIY skills0 Reviews
Dr.D himself had felt first hand what loss feels like.
His son, Nostalgic Rainbow, had been Exterminated by Korse's lead Bounty Hunter. Rainbow had been on the run for around 2 months, with his poster plastered around the walls of Battery City placed by his best friends: Jet Star, Party Poison, Kobra Kid and Fun Ghoul. Doctor Deathdefying always felt a warm spot in his heart, whenever he saw a remaining poster of his son, he'd look upwards and smile, speaking the words, "You did me proud, son".
"Purple Oxide, Blind noise, Sixth December and Burning Promise. It's sad to hear you've gone, but your spirits will live on forever, Killjoys." Dr.D's extermination list cam top an end, has he hung his head. This was his most hated part of his job, reading out the deceased, "I'll leave you with a favourite song, of a family member of mine. Its called 'This is why we can't have nice things' by a great band 'The Blackout'" He flicked a switch and the song started to be transmitted over the radio waves.
"I'll never forget you, Rainbow, Never"
"PARTY! WHERE ARE MY CHOPSTICKS!" A young voice rung out, through the small living area the four killjoys were currently in.
"Why do I always get the blame?" The red-haired killjoy mumbled to his brother, sat by him. His brother shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes in reply.
"Because you and Missile are the only people in the group, that can use them" Fun Ghoul spoke up, from the sofa.
"Nuh-uh. I can use them too!" Jet Star protested
"Jet? The last time you used chopsticks, you ended up using the pointy end to jab the food. I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as 'being able to use them'" Ghoul raised his eyebrow, in a cocky way. Jet star's lip jutted out, so he was pouting.
"Well Party? Where are they?" The group of four killjoys all turned to see a young, fluffy-haired girl, standing with her hands on her hips and a disapproving look on her face.
"Look, Missile Kid, I haven't even used them this past week. I can't eat dog-food with chopsticks, remember? It just flies out, from between them and lands on the floor" Party put is hands up in defence.
"Well then where are they?" An annoyed tone began to seep through into Missile Kid's words.
"I have no id-." Party Poison was in mid sentence, by a hand rising in front of him and a voice speaking, quickly cut him off.
"Have you tried in the shower?" Kobra Kid lowered his hand again, as he finished his sentence. Four confused looks crawled onto the other four Killjoys, whilst an inquisitive look stayed upon Kobra's.
"Kobra? Why would they be in the shower?" Missile was now speaking through gritted teeth. She may have been barely 11 years old, but she could still scare the other grown-up Killjoys, when she was angry.
"Because I was attempting to re-vamp the shower. I've finally given up on attempting to get hot water to flow through, so I was trying to make the water flow more powerful." Kobra started, "It didn't work."
"Right?" Missile sighed, and span around on the spot. "I'm going to go and check in the bathroom. If they're not there someone is going to pay" The little girl then walked off, around to the back of the Diner.
"Sorry Grace!" Kobra shouted behind her.
"Kobra?" Jet spoke up
"Hum?" Kobra acknowledged the voice, and turned to face him.
"What do you mean 'It didn't work'?" Jet's eyebrow rose up, as he questioned Kobra Kid's words.
"Well. Lets just say. I wouldn't turn the shower on for a while, unless to want water to spray out of the valve"
Just as the DIY-expert finished speaking, a small-sized, black-haired Killjoy jumped up from his seat and ran towards the door.
"Fun ghoul? Where are you going?" Party poison spoke up.
"I'm going to go and try to trick Grace into turning the shower on" A mischievous smile rose across his face, as he darted out the door, in the direction Missile Kid walked.
"It's official. If Fun Ghoul manages to pull that prank off, Missile will kill him" Party sighed, before he picked up a magazine and slumped down in his seat.
_In The Desert_
A small, red cross appeared on the top left hand corner of the GPS system that Nuclear Poison was currently holding. Her dad, Korse, had given it to her after she had achieved her tenth bounty kill. Nuclear had never left BL/ind, for a job, without it.
She peered back up; to scan the desert plains she was currently walking on. It was around 12 in the afternoon so the sun shone down heavily. Nuclear dreaded to think how long she had been walking for, but from the pain emanating from her legs, she guessed somewhere near 2 or 3 hours.
Nuclear swung her backpack off her shoulder and plucked out a BL/ind, White bottle of water. She then unscrewed the cap and drank it all in one. She hadn't realised just how thirsty and dehydrated she actually had been, but with the tempreture it currently was, she wasn't too surprised.
Nuclear peered back down onto the screen of the white GPS system, she currently had in her hand, to see the red cross becoming more and more near to her current position.
She could start to feel her stomach growing hungrier, but what was the point of stopping for food, when she was so close to her goal? Anyway, she could always eat afterwards, after she had completed her job.
After ten more minutes of walking, her destination came into view and a smile appeared onto her face.
Surely her mission couldn't be as hard as everyone had said? But then again, even Korse had his doubts, when Nuclear Poison had told him whom she was going to try to Exterminate.
The Building she was walking towards grew bigger, as she walked more and more closer.
A Diner. What a great place for a shoot-out?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Since you don't need to accept the TOS/Software License to make an add on, then there is no contract between you and Blizzard when you make the addon. You don't have to click "I agree" to anything to make the add on. All you need is access to the lua software, which is not under Blizzard's control.
The question is if the add on is a derivative work or an original work. The law is very different depending on the answer. I don't know if there is precedent for this type of work to be considered derivative and therefore under Blizzard's purview. That is what I would have been very interested to read about.
What does it matter if the addon is made with or without agreeing to the TOS/EULA? I can make for-pay addons all day long and have them sit on my hard drive. It is only when I try to actually sell them to people, or put a paywall in the addon itself (you must donate to use X feature) that Blizzard gets upset.
If your post is about what laws Blizzard can use to enforce this policy on people who have not signed the TOS/EULA, then yes, I agree that a post on that would be interesting. I suppose a for-pay addon maker could just say "I offered for a small donation fee, but the user didn't have to pay."
I like it when they specifically change aspects of the game to break addons they don't like. I think that, even moreso than legal action, lets you know you have their attention.
