MACON, Ga. (AP) — A week before his trial was set to begin, the man accused of killing and dismembering a law school classmate in Macon pleaded guilty Monday to malice murder.
Stephen McDaniel, 28, was sentenced to life in prison after agreeing with prosecutors to the guilty plea in the June 2011 slaying of 27-year-old Lauren Giddings of Laurel, Md., according to local media reports. Giddings had just graduated from Mercer University Law School and lived next door to her classmate, McDaniel.
Though McDaniel's sentence carries the possibility of parole, Bibb County District Attorney David Cooke said he expects McDaniel will spend the rest of his life in jail.
The courtroom was full of Giddings' family and friends, as well as retired Judge S. Phillip Brown, who had presided over much of the case. Her parents read a statement: "He tried to extinguish Lauren's light with his darkness. He did not come close."
McDaniel wrote in a statement that he did not deserve to be forgiven, Cooke said at a news conference after the hearing.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss sexual exploitation of children and burglary charges against McDaniel. McDaniel also agreed to a judgment against him in a lawsuit brought by Giddings' family, Cooke said.
Giddings' torso was found in a trash bin outside their apartment complex, but the rest of her remains had never been found.
McDaniel admitted choking Giddings to death as she slept and dumping the rest of her body in a trash bin at Mercer University law school, across the street from their apartment building, Cooke said.
That bin was picked up by a garbage truck, and it was uncertain whether her remains can ever be recovered, he said.

The side effects of
chemotherapy, sometimes called chemo, depend mainly on the medicines you
receive. As with other types of treatment, side effects vary from person to
In general, chemotherapy affects rapidly growing and dividing cells.
These include blood cells, which fight infection, cause the blood to clot, and
carry oxygen to all parts of the body. When blood cells are affected by
chemo, you are more likely to get infections and bruise or bleed easily. And you are likely to have less energy during treatment and for some time afterward.
Hair cells and cells that line the digestive tract also divide
rapidly. After treatment with chemotherapy, you may lose your hair and have
other side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or
mouth sores.
Many side effects caused by chemotherapy, such as nausea and
vomiting, can now be controlled. Your doctor can prescribe
medicines to manage nausea and vomiting. Side effects
generally are short-term problems. They gradually go away during the recovery
part of the chemo cycle or after the treatment is over.
Fatigue is a common side effect of chemotherapy. Some people notice
that they feel a little more tired than usual, and other people feel completely
out of energy. After treatment is finished, this fatigue goes away over
Some people have a mild decline in the ability to think, learn,
reason, and remember (cognitive function) during the first years after some
types of chemotherapy. Cognitive function can take a few years to return to
Treatment with chemotherapy has been linked with poorer overall
quality of life in areas such as urinary incontinence and decreased frequency
of sexual intercourse. Although most people report minimal changes in physical
and emotional well-being, breast cancer survivors who reported problems with
quality-of-life issues continued to have problems for many years after
With modern chemotherapy, long-term side effects are rare. But there
have been cases in which the heart is damaged and second cancers such as
leukemia have developed.
For women
Some chemotherapy can damage the ovaries. If the ovaries fail to
produce hormones, you may have symptoms of
menopause, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
Your periods may become irregular or may stop. And you may not be able to
become pregnant.
But some women are still able to become pregnant during treatment.
Because some chemo medicines cause birth defects and the effects of
other chemo drugs on a fetus are not known, it is important to talk to
your doctor about birth control before your treatment begins. After treatment,
some women regain their ability to become pregnant. But for most women older
than age 35, infertility is likely to be permanent.
For men
Chemotherapy for nonseminoma testicular cancer has been linked to serious long-term side
effects including
infertility and an increased risk for kidney damage, hearing loss, and secondary cancers such as
leukemia.2 But these
long-term side effects have been linked to higher doses of chemotherapy than
are usually given for the treatment of stage I nonseminoma testicular cancers.
Most men diagnosed
with testicular cancer are younger than 35. So men who are going to have chemo may decide to bank their sperm ahead of time if they want to father children in the future. Talk to your doctor about any fertility concerns you may have.
For a short time after chemo, some men may have problems getting erections, and some may have less desire for sex.
Some chemotherapy drugs can cause birth defects, so it is important
to talk to your doctor about birth control before your treatment begins.

The snow has all melted away and we're left with bright blue skies, wind that cuts right through you and sunshine that can't quite compete with the cold. I'm keeping warm today by staying inside and baking. This morning I've already finished a batch of pumpkin muffins. Yum!

Sudanese First Vice- President 1st Lt. Gen. John Garang has given Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels an ultimatum to to leave southern Sudan.
Until Wednesday evening, Garang was a colonel, a rank he has held since 1983 when he deserted the Sudan army.
In an exclusive interview with the New Vision, Garang said he was going to deal firmly with the militias operating in southern Sudan, in order to rebuild the war-ravaged region.
"Kony won't be hiding there for long. It is not only Kony, but also all the militias who have been operating in the area. We need to provide peace, security and stability, so the militias including those that were formerly supported by the government, must be disbanded."
Garang flew into the country aboard a chartered plane yesterday for a meeting with president Yoweri Museveni. The meeting took place at Rwakitura in Mbarara.
Garang was met at Entebbe Airport by Vice-President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya and the Minister for Regional Cooperation, Nshimye Sebuturo. He flew to Rwakitura aboard President Museveni's helicopter.
The former Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) leader, who controlled southern Sudan before the peace deal with the Khartoum Government, said the priority of his government was to resettle displaced people and remove camps of the internally displaced people and return the Sudanese refugees.
He said there were between three to four million Sudanese refugees outside the country who need to be returned and resettled.
He said his government had started rebuilding the infrastructure in the devastated region, which is home to over 12 million people.
Garang said in the next week, the 10 Supervisors for the 10 southern Sudanese states would have taken office to oversee the building of the infrastructure.
The infrastructure to be rebuilt includes roads and railways in southern Sudan and those linking it with Uganda and Kenya, water facilities and financial institutions.

Mountain Stage
The dB's On Mountain Stage
The dB's On Mountain Stage
The newly reunited power-pop pioneers in The dB's make their first appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live in Charleston, W.V. Often described as the band that filled the gap between Big Star and R.E.M. in the early '80s, The dB's helped change the course of guitar-driven power-pop for years to come.
The dB's albums Stands for Decibels and Repercussion were issued on the British label Albion and became cult classics, and the band's members — who include Chris Stamey, Peter Holsapple, Gen Holden and Will Rigby — continued with successful music careers in their own right. Their new album Falling Off the Sky is the first with the original dB's lineup in 30 years. Drummer Rigby, who's been a member of Steve Earle's touring band The Dukes for years, had a scheduling conflict, so the three remaining players are joined by Chris Stephenson on drums, as well as Brett Harris on organ and harmonica.
This Mountain Stage performance was originally published on September 27, 2012.
Set List
- "That Time Is Gone"
- "Far Away And Long Ago"
- "I Didn't Mean To Say That"
- "Before We Were Born"

For a long time people that know me have been telling me they think I may suffer from depression and/or anxiety. So much so that I began to believe it. I am still somewhat open to the possibility, but my position on the matter is: so what? I'm not hurting anyone. I'm certainly not going to alter my body chemistry just because it doesn't match what is "normal". Where would evolution have gone if all species could change themselves back to "normal"?
Last night I read this article about shyness, introversion, and social anxiety. It confirmed many of my thoughts on the matter, and got me to research introversion more. Before, I had been aware of the general idea of introversion/extroversion (never studied psychology that much), but I did not know that it could be such a specific and pervasive behavioral trait. After much reading I found that on the introvert/extrovert scale, I'm about as introverted as you could possibly get.
Anyway, in the article the author references Winifred Gallagher: "The glory of the disposition that stops to consider stimuli rather than rushing to engage with them is its long association with intellectual and artistic achievement." It got me thinking about religion. Are introverts more likely to analyze the inconsistencies and problems with religion before (or even after) committing to one? How many atheists are introverts?
So, do you consider yourself more introverted than extroverted? A poll would be awesome, but I don't see an option to add one.
Views: 3116
Well I shall fling my arms wide and yell, "I'm an extrovert!" at the top of my lungs to compensate!
Haha, we do need some compensation, all right! I even have trouble yelling "Yes, I'm an extrovert!" by myself, in the shower. I even hiccup when I try to sing.
I haven't counted, but by far, people here are saying they are mostly, or are very introverted. 90%, at least.
For myself growing up, being an introvert was similar to having a lot of self-doubt, but now it's more like just being skeptical of most perceptions, internal and external. I really don't know what it's like to be an extrovert, so I'll leave that up to others to describe.
And if you're somewhere in the middle, I think that's probably a nice place to be. But please don't assume that there is no such thing as extremes on the scale, even if the scale isn't perfectly scientific.
People say I'm autistic because I'm quiet and good at maths, but you know what? That shows a lack of imagination. My friends tend to be extroverted alpha types.
I go back and forth on the extroversion/introversion scale. It is when I am most depressed that I am most introverted.
ENTJ here,

A spectacular new theatre in Linz
Oliver Condy reports from the Austrian city of Linz where a new opera house has just been opened.
Linz is this morning deservedly basking in the glow of its shiny new opera house, opened last night in spectacular, if slightly baffling fashion. The work chosen to open the Austrian city's 1,000-seater house was Philip Glass's new opera, The Lost, a two-hour Beckett-esque exploration of the grotesqueness of human life culminating in the soul-searching question: 'Where are we?' Singers, players and dancers (there was a good deal of dance last night, much of it impressive) acquitted themselves well, and the spectacle provided us all with an eye-popping glimpse at the new opera house's colossal stage area even if the music didn't always quite live up to the grandness and madness of the libretto's message or the view from Row C. But I couldn't help thinking that the second half's post-apocalyptic scenes and Camus-style navel-gazing jarred a little with the whole 'welcome to Linz's operatic and cultural future' message that the after-party and jazz band did so well at spreading.
Still, the work, as they say, has legs, and it was an engaging showcase for Linz's spectacular new venue – one of which it should be justly proud. Designed by British architect Terry Pawson, the steel, stone and glass-fronted Landestheater Linz seems to have achieved several things at once. Built on the site of an old disused hospital, the former slightly-grubby downtown Linz has been given something of an instant facelift – or at least a very good reason to smarten up. Since the house's completion, Linz's residents have apparently felt safer walking through the Volkspark into which the new building spills (much like Copenhagen's new opera house spills into the sea). And by throwing open its doors during the day, it provides a peaceful haven for Linz's residents and visitors to escape the busy shopping centre of Landstrasse and admire the foyer's clean-lined interior of wood and natural stone.
But its most brilliant achievement is its very existence. There are two reasons for this. For decades, various bodies and groups had campaigned for a new theatre to be built - the nearby Landestheater is not, so the well-worn phrase goes, fit for purpose. Its orchestra pit is cramped and the sight-lines from many of the seats extremely poor. Political wranglings and changing ruling parties stopped any progress being made, until seven years ago when the go-ahead was given thanks to a successful campaign by the particularly tenacious 'Friends of the Landestheater'. Being 95 per cent publically-funded, the budget for a brand spanking new 45,000m2 opera house was, back in 2007, set at just €143 million, rising with inflation to just over €180 million. In contrast, the 41,000m2 opera house in Copenhagen – the one mentioned earlier in this blog – came in at roughly twice the cost.
So – cheap(ish). But Terry Pawson Architects Ltd have done something rather alchemic. The building stands proudly and rather organically on the verge of the Volksgarten ('people's park'), only possible once the main road had been shifted from alongside the park to the back of the opera house, next to the railway. Inside, the orchestra pit is now the biggest in Austria, with the sound compared with the old Landestheater being like 'night and day' according to the Bruckner Orchestra Linz's chief conductor, Dennis Russell Davies. The sight-lines in the spectacular gold and red horse-shoe shaped auditorium ensure, according to Terry Pawson, an almost 100 per cent view of the stage from every seat. And the seats have, praise be, a generous 105cm legroom (in the stalls) falling to 95cm or so in the cheap seats. The stage area, as I mentioned earlier, is gigantic and exceptionally sophisticated, and the orchestra's rehearsal room and various backstage areas are all handsome and, crucially, appear pretty practical.
The foyers, clad beautifully in rich, dark wood, can comfortably accommodate a 1,000-strong crowd with the added bonus that everyone can hear themselves speak. And the bars are plentiful. Which is a happy turn-up for the books.
So far, the citizens of Linz have turned out in their droves to see their new toy. Now it's up to Dennis Russell Davies to keep them coming in...

I'm currently on the old Smartphone 40 plan and have about a year left on my two year contract. I'm going away for a week and will likely need more than 500 MB of data. In the past I've simply moved up to Smartphone 60 for a month, then swapped back to 40 the following month.
Even though the old plans are now grandfathered, am I correct in assuming that I can still switch between them (I'm going by the logic that I agreed to stay on that "type" of plan for two years)? Is that's not possible, am I able to go to the new Smartphone $59 and then down to $39 without incurring any fees?
Thanks :)

How to Extend Fujitsu BTP-B4K8 Laptop Battery Life
Laptop computer batteries often run out of power sooner than would be desired. Here are some tips for making them last longer between charges...
Screensaver: Change your laptop's screensaver to a blank (Black) screen,and set it to turn on within a few minutes of inactivity. Screensavers with graphics and sound effects will drain the power more quickly,whereas a blank screen will conserve power.
Hard Drive & Disk Drive: Avoid using the hard drive and disk drive excessively. Because these are mechanical mechanisms,they consume more power. In some cases,upgrading the amount of memory will reduce hard drive usage. If your Fujitsu BTP-B4K8 laptop is set to run anti-virus scans periodically,only allow this to happen when you have it connected to AC power,because this substantially increases hard drive usage while it is running. If you are using an older laptop with no hard drive,consider using a VDISK or RAMDISK to reduce disk drive usage.
Sound/Music: If you want to listen to music while operating the computer,consider using a separate radio,cassette recorder,or CD player. If the CD player's batteries run out,you will be able to keep using the computer,which is probably your higher priority.
USB Devices: If your Fujitsu BTP-B4K8 laptop computer has a USB port,keep in mind that some USB devices draw power from the computer's battery while they are plugged in to it. Avoid leaving such devices plugged in longer than they need to be.
Software: Different software which accomplishes the same functions may cause your Fujitsu BTP-B4K8 battery computer to use different amounts of power. If the software utilizes memory more effectively (rather than reading/writing to the disk or hard drive frequently),it may use less power. Software which places less demand on the processor can also reduce power consumption in some cases,along with programs which use a dark-colored background. Avoid running software directly from a 3.5" disk or CD-ROM,because it will cause these mechanisms to run frequently and drain the power more quickly.

Crews rescue sleeping woman from Ellicott City kitchen fire
Fire ignites in 2 Howard County apartment buildings
Howard County firefighters rescued a sleeping woman when they responded to one of two separate kitchen fires Sunday.
Firefighters were called just after midnight Saturday to the 3500 block of Court House Drive in Ellicott City for reports of smoke in the kitchen. A neighbor had called 911 after hearing the smoke alarm.
When attempts to contact the resident failed, firefighters forced their way into the apartment unit and rescued a woman who was found asleep on the couch. The woman was taken to Howard County General Hospital due to medical symptoms unrelated to the incident.
The second incident took place at the 5000 block of Columbia Road in Columbia. Fire and rescue units were called just after 2:50 a.m. for reports of an apartment fire.
When more than 30 firefighters and paramedics arrived, they encountered a small grease fire in the kitchen.
As a result of smoke and water damage, the sole occupant of the apartment and a downstairs neighbor were displaced.
Howard County authorities remind residents to be careful when cooking. Here are some additional tips:
- Keep towels and pot holders away from flames, ovens and stove tops.
- Never leave food that is cooking on the stove alone. A serious fire can start in just seconds.
- Clean cooking surfaces regularly to prevent grease buildup, which can start fires.
- Never use the stove or oven to heat your home.
- Double-check the kitchen before you go to bed or leave the house. Make sure all appliances are turned off.
- Make sure you turn off the stove or oven when you are finished using it.
- Never use water to put out a grease fire. Water does not mix with oil and the splash will only spread the fire, causing further damage. Use a fire extinguisher or baking soda, and immediately call 911.

A bit of standard trolling
Standard Tolling (TON.v) is one of those new start-up toll milling companies in Peru that plans to take ore produced by local small-scale miners and become their processor of choice, buying the rock from the locals, producing gold and making its cash from the difference. In short, the Dynacor Gold (DNG.to) model, except that Standard Tolling (TON.v) is one of the very few of these toll mill start-ups that's going to the North of Peru rather than the coastal South.
It's also been pumped by several junior newsletter writers, which means the news today hasn't gone down very well at all with that particular band of sheep:
White Rock, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Standard Tolling Corp. (TSX-V: TON, Frankfurt: GA0, "Standard Tolling" or the "Company") announces that it has filed legal action with the District Attorney in the Department of La Libertad, Peru to prosecute the parties involved in the mindless destruction of Company property at the entrance of its gold plant on September 2, 2015. The damage was caused by a farmer, who convinced the local magistrate to issue a civil order against the Company for allegedly blocking a public access way, a completely untrue allegation. At the same time the civil order was issued, and against the instructions of the authorities, the perpetrator began destroying civil works and company property adjacent to the public road using two large front-end loaders. Although the authorities were present for the attack, they failed to uphold their duties as public officials and did nothing to stop the attack. Consequently, the Company will use the compelling evidence it has assembled to pursue financial restitution for all damages and lost business and will seek criminal charges through the integrity of the Peruvian judicial system. The Company has shared the matter with regional and central authorities, who support a higher standard for public officials.Other than the entrance, the processing plant was untouched. The economic loss to the Company's investment was limited and the truck scale, being the most valuable piece of equipment damaged, only requires minor repair. In the meantime, portable scales are being used and ore purchase operations have re-commenced. The entrance and the tolling area of the plant have been redesigned and the truck scale will be moved to another area within the property.The Company appreciates the support of its employees during this ordeal. The Company will update its' shareholders with any further developments.
And when reading that, remember the IKN First Law of Junior Mining NRs: Anytime a mining company feels obliged to tell you about something that isn't shiny and wonderful and great and wrapped up in wholly positive prose and wording, things must be very bad indeed.
But there are two more things to add:
1) The stock price has been hit this week, but as the event in question happened on September 2nd the company managed to keep things quiet. I don't mind admitting that I hadn't heard anything on the mining grapevine (though will say I haven't been looking hard, what with one thing and another in my real world).
2) I don't own this one and haven't pulled the trigger, but I do quite like it and have checked out the company, met the people etc. In the toll milling sub-universe, it's the one that's most attracted me so far therefore this news event may turn out to be a buying opportunity. We'll see on that.
The apathy the world has for mining stocks is most evident via the traded volumes, rather than price moves. Nobody cares outside the insular world of corporate mining and frankly, after watching the way mining executives have treated the world of capital markets these last few years, I can't blame them.
And yes, I'm busy again outside the cyberworld and there won't be much on the blog. Ongoing computer fixings, plus meetings. Talk amongst yourselves.

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. I wouldn't want to be a forced seller here, that is for sure.

Drop the Pylot
Capstone Mining's (CS.to) news release has the quote of the day. Bold-type by IKN:
Suspension of Santo Domingo ProjectCapstone will discontinue all work on its Santo Domingo project, and will downsize the Santiago and Diego de Almagro offices in Chile . The previously communicated 2015 budget of $19.4 million will be reduced by $2.4 million (including severance costs) on the basis of Capstone's 70% ownership. In 2016 and beyond, holding and community relations costs are expected to be in the range of $2 million annually on a 100% basis. Of the 31 employees at Santo Domingo , 23 positions are affected and a one-time restructuring charge of approximately $3.2 million on a 100% basis will be expensed in the third quarter."While we continue to believe that Santo Domingo is an excellent project, a number of factors, including uncertainty over the future direction of copper prices and our financing capacity for the project, make capital preservation a priority at this time," continued Mr. Pylot. "In this environment, we believe the most prudent course of action is to put the project and completion of the updated Feasibility Study on hold, while maintaining the optionality for future development when conditions improve."
Hey, y'think the fact that CS.to paid $725m four years ago for a project with marginal economics using $2.85/lb Cu and $85/t Fe has anything to do with the fact Darren Pylot still believes Santo Domingo is an excellent project?
CS.to's entire market cap is now a third of the price it paid for Santo Domingo. Funny old world.
Peruvian Precious Metals (PPX.v): And the AGM results?
What happens is that when some company or other catches my eye it kinda eats away at me and I start sniffing around. An example is Peruvian Precious Metals (PPX.v), as after the post on its very weird commission payments on private placements as seen last week I've been checking out its Reg. Filings. The funny thing here is that although the AGM was nearly two months ago, the results of the voting haven't been released by the company.
You'd think they'd be keen on doing things the right way, and you'd also think that CIBC Mellon would be more diligent about disclosing things in the correct manner. So what's with the vote results guys, you going to file the numbers or will it take a phone call from the BCSC before you get round to it?
It's almost as if they're trying to hide something...
MAG Silver (MAG.to) (MVG)
I really don't understand why MAG Silver has held so well compared to other silver plays:
Just about the only silver junior that's not lost ground compared to its underlying metal. I mean yeah I know the project is good, and Fresnillo, and thick wide veins and la la lah....but no way is it worth over CAD$600m in this market and Fresnillo isn't going to make an offer for anywhere near this ticket price. Obvious short.
The Torex Gold (TXG.to) blockade was lifted last night...
...which means of course that TXG is never going to have any problems ever again with the local community around its Medi Luna mine in Guerrero, Mexico. None at all. Ever again.
Vedanta (VEDL) (VED.L) and its rivers of acid in Zambia
UK mining company Vedanta Resources (VEDL) (VED.L) makes it to the pages of the BBC today. But not exactly in the way it'd most appreciate. Your juicy excerpt is this:
When I visited, I could smell and even taste the pollution.The communities of Hippo Pool, Kakosa, Shimulala and Hellen say the Mushishima stream and the Kafue have become rivers of acid.Hundreds of villagers who claim copper mining operations in the area have poisoned their water source and destroyed farmland are taking Zambia's biggest copper mine, Vedanta Resources Plc, to court.Leaked documents, that the BBC has seen, appear to show that Vedanta Resources - through its Zambian based Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) - have been spilling sulphuric acid and other toxic chemicals into the water sources.A whistle-blower, who worked for 15 years with KCM, alleges that since Vedanta bought the mine in 2004, corners have been cut to save the costs of running operations.
Whole thing here. Ah yeah, tell me again about all you bigboy responsible mining companies that don't need to be watched like hawks these days because everything you do is done with love and everybody wins. My thanks to reader 'B' for the headsup.
Chart of the day is...
Mailbag on one Ricardo Goldman
This from reader "A" this morning. I haven't had time to check out the full bonafides on his message but it passes the smell test so I'm sticking it here for all to see:
Hey Otto;Just so you don't feel all alone in the misfortunes of the bullshit of the stock market.My Argentinian stockbroker in Miami, ended up declaring his firm with lack of liquidity, and therefore it's investors with some kind of equity left, cannot withdraw any funds, no matter if we've made money or we lost equity. The firm " has halted all trading operations due to lack of liquidity". Believe it or not the broker has pooled all the monies from all traders probably to make a living out of his operation.Just if you hear the name Ricardo Goldman, DaytradeYa! Or American Capital group LLC. in your cyberspace corner, you know what this scumbag has been doing all along, placing himself amongst the most respected traitors of the Latin investing community in Miami.I though this only happens in Banana Republics, but now let's see how the SEC reacts.He has had 2 previous violations with them , and still doing business as usual
Thanks, A
Torex (TXG.to): What? Political risk in Guerrero? Surely not!
Here and here explain what happened at the Torex Gold (TXG.to) mine yesterday. All good fun. Here's a bit of translation:
Management and workers at the Media Luna mine have been held hostage since yesterday by inhabitants of the Nuevo Balsas community, Cocula municipality, who are protesting about the pollution generated by the Canadian company in the Balsas River.
But hey...don't worry 'bout it...your broker said there wouldn't be any more trouble there...probably nothing, right?
The big surprise in the Guatemala elections isn't Jimmy Morales...
..it's that Sandra Torres of UNE has this evening moved into second spot, beating out the fast-fading Manuel Baldizón for the other place in the second round run-off. Here's a screenshot of the La Prensa Libre realtime tracker as of about seven minutes ago:
So it looks like Jimmy Morales (came out of nowhere) to face Sandra Torres to decide the next President of Guatemala. And a stunning collapse from Baldizón, who was a shoo-in for the job a quarter ago with polls even predicting he could win it all in round one (50% + 1 vote). The La Linea scandal has hit him almost as hard as Otto Pérez Molina.
Peru copper production moves up big (at last)
It was supposed to be hitting new heights this time last year, but the delayed ramp-up of Toromocho and various glitches in other larger operations have seen Peru's copper production monthlies largely flatline.
Not any more: Toromocho is starting to work as planned, Constancia has kicked in, the other big ones have made their quotas and the result is...
...a new record in copper production in Peru in July 2015 by a nautical mile, with the data published by Peru's Mining Ministry (MEM today. Expect plenty more months like this one to come. And that's supply sewn up, it's a good job that demand hasn't slackened in rece....oh, wait.
Computer meltdown
The quickest post (from the reserve laptop) to say that IKN is having a major problem with its Head Office computation machine. It may take a while to fix.
For those of you who want the follow the Guatemala election count...
...Prensa Libre has a fast-updating vote count graphic at the top of its front page, right here. They're also doing a live link to the Prensa TV election night desk, for those of you versed in the tongue of Cervantes.
It's still early days and the count looks like a slow one, but after 3.8% of the total votes counted Jimmy Morales (FCN) has 26%, Manuel Baldizón (LIDER) is on 21% and Sandra Torres (UNE) is going to miss out on the second round run-off because she's in third on 17%.
But I stress, 4% of the total vote is nobody's idea of a sample, long way to go yet. Follow the numbers here.
UPDATE: It's beginning to shape up: 12% of votes counted, here's a screenshot:

The IKN Weekly, out now
Labels: otto, the IKN weekly
Minera IRL (MIRL.L) (IRL.to): The community trouble now affecting Corihuarmi as well
The complete ineptitude of Daryl Hodges's lackeys shows up once again. Not content with completely screwing up the community relations at the company's flagship at Ollachea (plenty of past coverage on that one) in the South of Peru, this weekend the local community around the company's small working gold mine Corihuarmi (central Peru) has taken over the mine, blockaded themselves in and all production and work has come to a halt.
The locals are demanding payments due to them that are undelivered since Team Hodges snatched control of the company away from people who actually know how to run a company in Peru.

From this article out today, which has more of the same, is fun and managed to keep me distracted (from writing up the Weekly) for around five minutes. Or eight if you include the writing of this post.

This past Saturday I did something that, due to my anxiety, I could have never done just 3 or 4 months ago. I attended a local pre-BlogHer meet-up at The Cup in Boulder. I was hoping a friend or two would be able to go with me (for the company, as well as to calm my nerves and make sure I went!), but no one was available. Still, I was feeling good about it and excited at the opportunity to meet some more local bloggers. But then I almost didn't go – not because I had a good excuse or something came up, but because apparently I was more nervous about going than I thought and nearly used the excuse of Julian needing to go down for a nap to prevent me from stepping foot outside my front door. As it was, I arrived almost an hour late and didn't get a chance to meet even half of all of the women there, but the important part is that I made myself step outside of my comfort zone and I went. I knew that if I didn't go, it would make going to BlogHer next month all the more anxiety producing.
I was thrilled to see some familiar faces like Tall Tara and Crazy Blogging Canuck (Amber) (both whom I met at the Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash back in August of last year), and was glad to put a real live face to a name for peeps like Eat Play Love (Denise), The Casual Perfectionist (JoAnn), Gwen Bell (the organizer of the event), Weebles Wobblog (Lori), and This Mama Cooks (Anne-Marie). I also had the opportunity to meet some new names and faces like Human Being Blog (Lynn), Tales of my Thirties (Rachel), and Bread Crumz (Holly). There were many more women there who I didn't get the pleasure of meeting, but you can meet them all via the YouTube video below thanks to the wonderful Holly.
Despite usually having a camera in hand, I forgot mine at home this time so I don't have any pics of my own, but a few of me (pics #13 & 15 – I'm in the green shirt) have surfaced around the 'net (thank you, Use Real Butter (Jen) for proof that I really did go!). 😉
I might have some apprehension about going to these types of events, but I'm always happy I went once it's over. Thank you again to the amazing Gwen for organizing.
It's true that I often feel like this:
But thanks to the pre-BlogHer meet-up, maybe I'll be courageous enough to move out of the corner every now and then. 😉 I look forward to seeing all of you lovely ladies again at BlogHer (one month from today – squeee!) and meeting many more too. 🙂
Here's the video (thanks, Holly):

Accuser's attorney calls for inquiry in Jameis Winston case
- The attorney of the accuser called for an independent investigation of the Jameis Winston case
- Patricia Carroll said the investigation was more about the %22victim%22 than the suspect
- %22There is a serious problem in the state of Florida and certainly the Tallahassee area%2C%22 Carroll said
ZEPHYRHILLS,Fla. — The attorney for the woman who says Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston raped her last year called Friday for an independent Attorney General's Office investigation of the case and the Tallahassee Police Department, but such action appears unlikely.
"The state attorney's office and FDLE did a thorough investigation of this case and they concluded that no further action on this matter is required," Gov. Rick Scott's spokeswoman Jackie Schutz said in an email.
During a more than 90-minute news conference, however, attorney Patricia Carroll of Dade City condemned TPD's handling of the case, as well as the later follow-up investigation by State Attorney Willie Meggs, which concluded last week with no charges being filed against Winston.
WINSTON CASE:No charges filed
911 CALL:Interview video released
CASE DETAILS:Documents released
HEISMAN RACE:Close for second place
Carroll characterized the investigation as one rife with omissions, contradictions and sloppy police work that inappropriately focused on her client, not on Winston.
"If victims are subjected on an ongoing basis to what this victim was, there is a serious problem in the state of Florida and certainly the Tallahassee area," Carroll said. "This was an investigation of a rape victim, not an investigation of a rape suspect."
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Pam Bondi said the state's top prosecutor had spoken to Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey about a possible request from the woman's attorney regarding criminal allegations against TPD, but no formal request had been received as of Friday afternoon.
The AG's office does not have jurisdiction over individual judicial circuit cases and
FDLE would handle any criminal investigations of local law enforcement agencies.
Any investigation of an elected official, such as Meggs, would have to be initiated by the governor.
The governor's office also could order FDLE to investigate TPD, but agency spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said those requests typically come from police departments or local law enforcement agencies themselves.
"We have jurisdiction to conduct criminal investigations," Commissioner Bailey said. "We are not a quality-control monitor."
TPD spokesman David Northway declined to defend or comment on the work of department investigators or on the possibility of an inquiry into TPD handling of rape cases.
"The case is now closed and we continue to support Mr. Meggs and his endeavors as the state attorney," Northway said.
During the news conference, Carroll said "the politics of football" may have influenced TPD's investigation of the Dec. 7, 2012, sexual battery allegation against Winston and that Meggs didn't do enough before he decided to not file charges. Winston has led the Seminoles to the team's first national championship game in 14 years and the redshirt freshman is a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy to be announced Saturday.
Winston, who was in New York on Friday, told reporters, "I knew I did nothing wrong."
Meggs said he was not surprised by the criticism and knew early on that no matter what decision he reached in the case would be second-guessed.
"Do I think we did everything we needed to do? Yes. Do I see anything else we could could do? No," Meggs said. "Criticism comes with the territory. We worked within the limits of where we were and I am still satisfied with our decision."
In reviewing the 248-page investigative file released by Meggs to the public last week, Carroll said she found 152 pages of documents related to her client, including her cell phone records, texts, emails and social-media posts, but only 11 pages that contained Winston's name.
She noted that while Winston was identified by her client as the suspect in the alleged rape on Jan. 11, TPD Inv. Scott Angulo's first search warrant five days later was for the complainant's cell phone records. No search warrant, however, was requested to search Winton's apartment, obtain his DNA or retrieve his phone records or those of his two friends who were eyewitnesses of the incident.
Angulo failed to interview both fellow football players at the time and also did not conduct interviews with friends of the women who first reported the incident to Florida State police and were with her at Potbelly's bar earlier in the night of the alleged attack. By the time Winston was named as a suspect, the complainant had been interviewed five times, Carroll said.
Carroll said she specifically asked Angulo to obtain Winston's DNA, but the detective refused. He also cautioned Carroll that going forward would the case would make her client's life miserable because Tallahassee is "a big football town."
"We felt then that we were up against a situation with the Tallahassee Police Department," she said. "We didn't feel we would get a proper investigation. We didn't feel that we would get justice."
Carroll called her client a "reluctant victim" and expressed "grave concern" about the validity of tests on the woman's blood and urine, which found no drugs in her system.
Carroll said the woman's spotty memory, confusion and headache after the alleged rape was consistent with someone who had been given a so-called "date-rape drug."
She also questioned whether physical evidence from the woman's sexual-assault examination, which remained at TPD for 39 days before being sent to FDLE's lab for testing, was properly handled and secured.
"I don't have any faith in the nature of this investigation," Carroll said. "I told Mr. Meggs I had no confidence in this investigation."
Medical records released by Meggs' office, also were incomplete, Carroll contended, and left out details of the woman's injuries and pain medication she received.
"We perceive that as a problem that warrants further investigation," she said.
TPD's Northway said the woman's medical records were reacted to comply with federal health privacy laws. Meggs said such treatment reports were not part of the documents his office receives.
Carroll further questioned Megg's handling of the case, which was turned over by TPD to his office Nov. 12 after nine months of dormancy, following media inquires for the initial police report. Carroll said Meggs' 13-day investigation didn't go deep enough and an inordinate amount of time and resources were spent tracking down the woman's boyfriend, with whom she had consensual sex prior to the night of her alleged rape. DNA found on the woman matched both her boyfriend and Winston.
"That DNA (from the boyfriend) was from a time well in advance of the attack, yet that was the focus of the state attorney In this case," Carroll told reporters. "All they did was continue to investigate the victim."
Meggs said he had to determine the identity of the second male DNA sample to rule out likely defense arguments that the unknown person was the attacker. Meggs said the woman refused to identify her boyfriend.
"We can't make a case against someone and have DNA of another male that is unidentified," he said.
Carroll added the woman is doing as well as she can amid the media storm and vicious character attacks on social media websites. The 19-year-old dropped out her sorority, but is finishing her coursework remotely this semester.
"She's not doing well but she is a strong girl," Carroll said. "Her life's been turned upside down, but she is going to continue to try to heal."

Multiple ThanX! for this website. We have a BIG script problem in this corner of the country with little information and lots of misinformation. "It's pharmaceutical so It's safe, right?" I'll be handing out the website a lot.
I absolutely LOVE this blog! I feel it will be very beneficial to not only myself but also my peers. The download section is a great resource for students joining the awareness movement! I like that students are able to create their own shirts and have a new knowledge base to gain information on the topic! Keep up the good work!

It's true. With all the data coming in, prescription drug abuse is the new "high". We can only do what we can by informing our communities and help people overcome their addictions. September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery month. Show someone you know who struggles with addiction that you care. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]

The Science of Crime is a television series in Grand Theft Auto IV shown on CCC. The Science of Crime is a parody of the popular CBS series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its spin-offs, of which there are apparently fifteen in GTA IV. Mentioned spin-offs include Science of Crime: Vice City, Las Venturas, Ohio, Tuskegee, Djibouti, Fairbanks, Panama City, Santiago, etc., which may be a reference to CSI's over-expansion on other cities.
On the radio, adverts and billboards, the show is proclaimed to be "forensically boring!" The show is well-advertised: adverts on the radio, seen on rooftop advertisements on the Declasse Taxi and a billboard above the tollbooths on the East Borough Bridge.
- A Science of Crime theme tune can be purchased from www.vipluxuryringtones.com and used as a phone ringtone. It starts with a distinctive yell similar to that found in The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again," the theme from CSI: Miami.
- The person in the adverts bears an strong resemblance to Talbot Daniels, which the ped model itself resembles Dr. Sheldon Hawkes from CSI: NY.
- TSoC may also be a parody of the hit TV franchise Law and Order, which also is known for its many spin-offs and expansions to different cities, as well as Criminal Minds, a popular crime drama on CBS.

It's always nice when one of your mates who also happens to be a famous and well-respected author happens to say something nice (or even just something interesting) about your book in public places. And recently, to my slight astonishment, it's happened not once but twice.
First up was Adrian Tchaikovsky towards the back end of August, in his post Love the Bright Sword on the Tor blog. Adrian always has something good to say about the Fantasy genre, which, let's face it, he knows better than most of us, having added to it so dramatically with his Shadows of the Apt series. But this is my favourite of his posts that I've read, and not just because it mentions Giant Thief (although, there's that!) Adrian talks about one of the great elephants in the room of Fantasy fiction, our overwhelming reliance on violence as a plot device, and wonders if that's really the best we can do as a genre.
The mention of Giant Thief is in relation to the fact that Damasco would rather do just about anything than get his hands bloody, so it should be clear where I stand on this one. I've a certain soft spot for heroes who solve their every problem with a sword, gun or whatever, probably because I read far too many G. I. Joe comics in my formative years. More and more though, I'm drawn towards stories that manage to talk about something other than our inate need to beat the crap out of each other over every little thing. I mean, we've been around for a fair old while as a species. We've walked on the moon. We have jetpacks (even if we don't use them much) and phones that tell us where the nearest cash machine is. So just maybe it's time our heroes stopped solving their every problem by headbutting someone?
|Osama, of course, is now out. Here's proof.
Anyway, barely had I gotten through thinking about that one when Lavie Tidhar - whose astonishing and many-award-nominated novel Osama comes out in paperback directly after Crown Thief - wrote an entire blog article on Giant Thief. I won't spoil it by preempting it too much, because it's a fascinating piece in its own right, but the gist is that - based on the fact that Easie Damasco does very little to further his own story and in fact spends most of his own novel running away from it - I've inadvertently invented a new subgenre, which Lavie labels "slacker fantasy."
I am deeply in love with that term. Expect it see it cropping up with preposterous regularity in future posts.

They say every picture tells a thousand words, and when you consider there are 17 pictures in this series, theoretically that would be 17,000 words, but life is too short. So let's content ourselves with some of Ernie's concise and expert observations. Ernie has tried on more watches than most of us have put on clean socks, so be sure to take notes.
On first trying the watch, Ernie found the 47mm sand blasted stainless steel case with the 30mm dial took a little time to get used to. The excellent rotating bezel is wider than the case at "6" and "12" which makes turning it easy and comfortable.
The watch itself, with its handsome fabric strap, is very comfortable to wear and, at just 11.96mm in height, its streamlined design enables the JR Highlands to slip unobtrusively under the sleeve. The deployant strap buckle with its pushers on either side makes it nice and easy to unbuckle the watch.
Ernie didn't dim the lights to take pictures of the luminosity, but having tested the JR Highlands watch in the dark, he can confirm that the luminescent Arabic numerals and hands really pop out at you, and can be read easily at a glance.
Essentially, in Ernie's opinion it's all good, it works, it comes together very nicely, and yet…maybe it lacks that extra magic ingredient, that extra little design tweak that transforms it from the good to the iconic. However, the Highlands watch is sure to evolve so we look forward to see it in its next incarnation.
Further comments from Ernie are featured under the pictures:
Two boxes, one contains the watch (flat box), the other contains the original box the watch will come in if pruchased from an AD. This one was sent to me by JEANRICHARD for review purposes only.
The instruction booklet and the delivery certificate.
The watch, safely sealed in plastic with an extra strap.
The original box.
Out of the box and onto the wrist, the JEANRICHARD Highlands.
The watch wears comfortable with a shirt. It easily slides under the sleeve.
Two pushers on each side opens the deployant. Nicely done and great design.
I have to admit, I needed to get used to the case design (46mm) and the - what seems - small looking dial (30mm).
The rotating bezel is wider than the case at "6" and "12" which makes turning it quite comfortable. Lots of grip.
On the inner metal of the deployant "JP" is engraved. I did not take off the blue protective plastic.
The JR 1000 movement, Cotes de Geneve and nicely engraved rotor with the origins of JR.
Stange comparison, but couldn't resist. I took the IWC off to put on the JR. Will it replace it? No, it is a different league, where the IWC is the more complicated watch, having the 7-days power reserve. But the JEANRICHARD did grow on me, a lot. And that is something I would not have imagined when I took it out of the box and put it on my wrist. The case design, the way JR managed to mount the rotating bezel to it, and the comfortable way to turn it, the dial and the hands, all comes to place with this watch. And last but not least, it wears extremely comfortable, due to the height, but also due to the great strap that comes with the watch. Thumbs up for JEANRICHARD's Highlands for me.

Census Records for New Jersey
This entry was originally written by Roger D. Joslyn, CG, FUGA, FGBS, FASG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1800 (Cumberland County only [all other 1790'1820 schedules lost]), 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860,1870, 1880, 1890 (fragment), 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900, 1920
Agriculture and Industry Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Mortality Schedules
• 1850 (Indexed), 1860, 1870, 1880
Union Veterans Schedules
• 1890 (Indexed)
Census microfilms and indexes are widely available (see pages 2-4); however, there are problems with the AIS indexes for 1830 (shows Atlantic for Bergen County entries), 1850 (does not include Winslow Township, Camden County), and 1860 (excludes parts of Middlesex County). The New Jersey State Archives, the New Jersey Historical Society, Rutgers University, and the Newark Public Library all have copies. The state copies of the federal censuses for 1850 to 1870 and the original population schedules for 1880 are at the state archives, as are the county copy of the 1850 federal census for Essex County and the abbreviated copy of the 1880 federal census for Essex and Ocean counties. The abbreviated 1880 census for Monmouth County is in Monmouth County Archives. The originals and microfilms of the corresponding mortality, agricultural, industry/manufacturing, and the 1880 defective, dependent, and delinquent schedules are available at the state archives and on microfilm at the state library. New Jersey 1850 Mortality Schedule Index was compiled by Shirley J. George and Sandra E. Glenn (Columbus, N.J.: G. & G. Genealogical Book Co., 1982), and these records and those for 1860 are published in The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. Also in this journal, beginning in volume 52, page 71, are 1850 mortality schedules of other states, listing those persons whose birthplace was New Jersey. Among the few surviving schedules of the 1890 federal census are some for Jersey City, Hudson County.
State censuses were also taken in New Jersey every ten years from 1855 through 1915 and are available at the New Jersey State Archives, the New Jersey State Library, Rutgers University, The New Jersey Historical Society (1855'85), the Joint Free Public Library of Morristown and Morris Township, the Newark Public Library (the latter of which has a street guide to Newark's wards, as does the state archives and Rutgers), and The New York Public Library (1855'1905). Unfortunately, they are not complete for 1855, 1865, and 1875, and none are published except for Patricia B. Duncan's Hunterdon County, New Jersey, 1895 State Census, 2 parts (Bowie, Md.: Heritage Books, 1999). Phyllis B. D'Autrechy produced 1875 New Jersey Census'Hunterdon County Index (Flemington: Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission, 1992), a copy of which is available at the state archives. The information in these censuses is similar to that found in federal censuses, except that most of the 1855 and 1865 censuses list only the head of household. The original state censuses for Essex County 1855 to 1875 are in the state archives.
Censuses taken of Paterson residents from 1824 to 1832 by the Reverend Samuel Fisher were published by AISI (see pages 3-4). Two earlier 'censuses' have been published for New Jersey. Kenn Stryker-Rodda, Revolutionary Census of New Jersey (1972; reprint, Lambertville, N.J.: Hunterdon House, 1986) was constructed from tax records, and James S. Norton, New Jersey in 1793 (Salt Lake City: the author, 1973) was taken from militia rosters, with tax records substituting for those counties with missing militia lists (the originals of these rosters and tax lists are in the state archives).

You might remember the GORGEOUS stack of fabrics that my sweet friend Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom sent me in December. It's her new line called Crazy Love and I am seriously crazy in love with it. Here are some sneak peeks of the quilt I'm making with it.
The prints are so beautiful that I didn't want to cut them up too much! So, I designed a pattern that allows these gorgeous prints to shine.
I was hoping to be able to share with you the finished quilt by now, but I had some issues with my quilting. I had decided to quilt in a straight line pattern every quarter inch or so, but I ended up having a large section pucker since I didn't use my walking foot. Ugh. But, I'm making another one and I hope to have it finished later this week.
I'm also developing the design into a pattern that I hope to have finished (along with two others!!) by next week. I'm so excited to share them all with you and I can't wait to see what you think of them.
