MORGANTOWN - West Virginia defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel hasn't been unable to escape the questions. His guys just hadn't been able to produce turnovers.
Until Saturday.
Keith Tandy, the reigning interceptions leader in the Big East, picked off two passes and just missed a third, Terence Garvin added another, Darwin Cook recovered a fourth-quarter fumble, and Travis Bell pounced on one on the opening kickoff as the Mountaineers were a rare plus-5 in turnover margin in an easy victory against Bowling Green.
''That was good to see, obviously,'' Casteel said. ''Again, if you looked real close, we probably could have had a few more we didn't get. I think the weather helped us a little, too.''
That's what Tandy was thinking.
''I was just trying to make plays on the ball,'' he said. ''Once the ball got in the air, I was just trying to go get it. I knew it was raining so it was going to be hard to make a perfect throw.''
The biggest turnover, probably, was the fumble on the opening kickoff. The Mountaineers had won the toss and deferred to the second half. Once they procured that one, they basically had two possessions on the Falcons the rest of the way.
''It was fun to see that on the first play after we've been talking all week about not being able to get turnovers,'' head coach Dana Holgorsen said. ''Turnovers are the stat that matters. Everyone is aware of that.''
West Virginia scored 24 points off those turnovers.
Even as the Mountaineers were racking up the rushing yards in a big way, the passing game, which had carried them through the first four games, didn't go to sleep. Quarterback Geno Smith completed 18 of 30 passes for 238 yards and touchdowns to Ivan McCartney (33 yards), Brad Starks (6), and Ryan Nehlen (15). It was Nehlen's first career touchdown reception, and it came against his grandfather's alma-mater. Nehlen's pap, of course, is former WVU coach Don Nehlen.
Stedman Bailey led all receivers with 112 yards on four catches, with a long of 45. It was his third straight 100-yard game.
Backup quarterback Paul Millard came in and completed 1 of 3 passes for 45 yards, that a long pass to Bailey.
The Mountaineers wound up with 283 passing yards,
The autograph session featuring former Mountaineers quarterbacks was a big success, as fans lined outside the Caperton Indoor Facility, waiting to see some of their favorite players.
Most bought a commemorative photo for $5, a group shot of all the guys, and sought as many autographs as they could.
Richard Loring, Fred Wyant, Dale Evans, Ed Pastilong, Pete Secret, Garland Hudson, Mike Sherwood, Bernie Galiffa, Dan Kendra, Dan Williams, Mike Williams, Oliver Luck, Kevin White, Jeff Hostetler, Tony Reda, Ben Reed, Major Harris, Greg Jones, Darren Studstill, Jake Kelchner, Chad Johnston, Eric Boykin, Marc Bulger, Rasheed Marshall, Pat White, and Jarrett Brown were all in attendance.

Fun With Numbers: Kids Eat FreeWednesday, September 14th, 2011
Over 15,000 kids were able to eat for free at Sunday and Monday BlueClaws home games in 2011, thanks to ShopRite.
As part of the program, which returns in 2012, children ages 12 and under get to eat for free at every Sunday and Monday BlueClaws home game. They receive a voucher good for a hot dog, bag of chips, and a soda.
So what exactly does 15,442 mean? Let's take a look.
15,442 Hot Dogs laid out end to end:
- Would stretch for 1.71 miles
- In a line would require just over five laps of the FirstEnergy Park concourse
- Would stretch from home plate to centerfield and back to home plate 11 times
- After you hit your 11 home runs, you could round the bases 25 times
- 3.5 trips up and down the Empire State building
- Half of the Constitutional Walking Tour in Philadelphia
- 4 trips, front point to back point, of the USS Enterprise
- The length of 92 Blue Whales, the world's largest animal
- If Joey Chestnut, who ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes to win the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest this year, ate at that same rate, it would take him 1 day, 17 hours, and 30 minutes to eat 15,442 hot dogs.
15,442 Bags of Chips:
- At 21 chips per bag, that's 324,282 potato chips
- The equivalent of 1.83 Volkswagen Beetles
- The equivalent of 6,037 bobblehead dolls
- There are 1.5 potatoes in every bag of chips, so that's 23,613 potatoes. Since Idaho produces 6 billion potatoes each year, that's as many potatoes as are produced in 2 minutes and 4 seconds.
15,442 Cups of Soda:
- 1,447.7 gallons
- Enough to fill the 100-gallon gas tank of 14 18-wheelers
- At one drop per ounce, and one drop per second, it would take 2 days, 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 24 seconds.
- If taken in water, it's enough to water the average lawn for 11 hours and 16 minutes
- If taken in water, it's enough to shower for 723 hours
Can't beat that right?

BEECH BOTTOM - Things are looking up at Wheeling Corrugating - way up.
For more than 110 years, the company has taken up the gauntlet to survive in a volatile domestic steel industry and has emerged as a leader in its field.
Wheeling Corrugating's roots run deep. Founded in 1890 by Alexander Glass, the company joined the industrial revolution when its steam-powered machinery began churning out galvanized culvert pipe, expanded metal, cut nails and what would become iconic Wheeling Steel galvanized buckets and tubs.
Article Photos
Photo provided
Checking newly painted steel coils at Wheeling Corrugating's Beech Bottom plant are Brian Taylor, left, plant operations manager, and Doug Robbins, vice-president of sales.
As the bucket business dried up over the years, the company diversified its product line to include residential and commercial roofing and siding, various forms of decking, highway products, painted coil and galvanized sheet products.
Headquartered in the Severstal Wheeling Building in downtown Wheeling, the company has facilities in Louisville, Ky.; Lenexa, Kan.; Grand Junction, Colo.; Fallon, Nev.; Houston, Texas, Fort Payne, Ala.; Emporia, Va.; Beech Bottom and Martins Ferry.
Doug Robbins, vice president of commercial sales, said Wheeling Corrugating generates more than $200 million in revenue annually and the firm's five-year plan is trending to hit $500 million.
Fact Box
Despite the decline in the domestic steel industry, Wheeling Corrugating Co. remains successful. What's the company's key to success?
Along with being a major player in the residential and commercial roofing and siding business, Wheeling Corrugating reinvented itself in the late 1990s and is now leading the industry in galvanized decking for complex structures and high rise vertical construction. The decking serves as an underlayment for concrete floors.
What makes Wheeling Corrugating's success so amazing is that it's happened at a time when the domestic steel industry has suffered.
The company has approximately 100 employees between its Beech Bottom plant and the corporate offices. It also is the primary buyer of galvanized products produced at Severstal's Martins Ferry plant.
While remaining a major player in the residential and commercial roofing and siding business, Wheeling Corrugating reinvented itself in the late 1990s and is now leading the industry in galvanized decking for complex structures and high rise vertical construction. The decking serves as an underlayment for concrete floors.
"We are more sophisticated and more in line with the green movement," Robbins said. "We are environmentally correct and are continually reducing our carbon footprint."
Wheeling Corrugating is supplying 4,000 tons of decking for what will become the 108-story One World Trade Center being built at the former site of the Twin Towers in New York City. Robbins said competition from foreign imports is not a factor for his company because of logistics.
"Due to the complexity and time constraints on domestic projects, building materials are purchased through domestic suppliers," he said.
He explained that Wheeling Corrugating is able to place 45-foot trailers carrying 20 tons of decking under the hook of cranes within the time frame of scheduled street closures.
Included the company's customer list are several high profile projects.
The Beech Bottom plant provided 128,00 square feet of bridge deck for the Pat Tillman Overpass, a 1,900- foot-long, four-lane span near the Hoover Dam.
Another significant structure is the 975-foot Comcast Center, the tallest building in Philadelphia.
Complex structures supplied by Wheeling Corrugating include the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minn.; Heinz Field and PNC Park and the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh; the Cleveland Browns stadium and the Paul Brown stadium in Cincinnati.
As the complex buildings and high rise market flourishes, the company continues to grow its roofing and siding business through exporting.
"Last year, we shipped 500 tons of roofing and siding to Haiti for housing and light commercial rebuilding after the January, 2009 earthquake," Robbins said.
As Wheeling Corrugating shoots for its five-year sales goal, it appears the sky is the limit for a company that once banked on buckets and tubs.

Jail Time For Lil Wayne?Sassy Smith
Rapper Lil Wayne has been busy making babies all over the place and now the singer might be facing jail time. Not good for him and certainly not for his kids.
From HipHopWired:
Wayne was arrested on his tour bus in January of 2008 after Arizona police discovered a loaded hand gun, marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy on board. Wayne's been charged with one count of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Now he's expected to appear in a Yuma County, Arizona court room at 1:30 p.m. on March 30, 2010 to face the music.
According to The Yuma Sun, Judge Mark Wayne Reeces made the decision Thursday in a federal court room. After asking attorneys how long they though the trial would last, Deane Sandry, who is prosecuting for the Yuma County Attorney's Office responded: "I'm going to guesstimate that two weeks should be sufficient."
While defense attorney, James Tilson responded by saying due to his client's notoriety and the media coverage of the case, the trial could take as long as three weeks.
The date is not set in stone however; a final trial management conference will take place two weeks prior to the trial.
Innocent until proven guilty of course, but what if he is guilty? What kind of example is he setting for his children?

Jay was AWESOME!!! He's hilarious and great with the crowd. Joe was a DOUCHE!! He had a shitty attitude, gave a very half-assed performance and seemed like he didn't want to be there. We will definitely go see Jay again and again, but we will NEVER go see Joe DeRosa, EVER.

"One of the surprising aspects of the Patriots' home-opening loss to the Cardinals was Wes Welker serving as the No. 3 receiver. Julian Edelman played over Welker in most two-receiver sets.
Including penalties and a two-point conversion, Edelman was on for 75 snaps, while Welker played 63, according to ESPNBoston.com charting."
As I said last week, they are doing the same thing to Welker as thery did to Moss!! What a mistake, I don't like it! This game planning is horrible. Even though Welker had a better stat day then Edelman, it is clear that the Patriots are not adding Welker to the game plan these first two games like they did last season. Why? Are the Patriots really but hurt that Welker wants a longer term deal then the Patriots are willing to do?
Patriots better put their mind/control games with players aside and get back to what wins games. Welker needs to be involved all the freaking time, he is what opens up the run game and the deep ball. This makes me sick. Horrible game plan by the Patriots!! If they want to win games 83 needs to be in there and being targeted more then he is, plain freaking as simple as that!!

A surge of far-right parties is about to hit the European parliament. Last weekends success of the National Front in France was led by the partys leader Marine Le Pen, who pledges to take France out of an agreement that is destroying jobs and flooding towns with immigrants. Similar advances by the right are appearing in differing degrees of intensity elsewhere in Europe.
The European elections next month will likely see 100 or more deputies from the Freedom Party of Austria, the British UK Independence Party, the Dutch Freedom Party, the Finnish True Finns, the Flemish (Belgian) Vlaams Blok, the German Alternative for Germany, the Greek Golden Dawn, the Hungarian Jobbik, the Italian Five Star Movement, the Swedish Democrats as well as the National Front enter parliament. Theyll be noisy, passionate, insulting, disruptive and in some cases well-primed to exploit every weakness and mistake in the European parliament.
The arrival of these deputies is the most recent bit of bad news for the Brussels politicians and officials whose job is to steer the European Union through its roughest patch in half a century. Together with two other hammer blows, this bad news could actually save the EU.
A no-holds-barred argument about the purpose of the EU would dynamise this somnolent assembly. Some would be forced to face the eurosceptic issues that are raised by far-right parties, including the difficulty of attracting interest to an organisation in which the members are unknown.
For decades, these issues have been ducked. But in the next election they will be forced on to the agenda. Finding the words and the passion to defend and promote the EU in debates will mean that Europeans will perhaps begin to see the point of the organisation.
The second bit of bad news is now familiar. The revelations of public debt in euro zone countries where growth has slowed or gone negative, as in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Greece, have raised fears of defaults. The total debt of the 17 member states that make up the euro zone was a cumulative $12.2 trillion (8.84 trillion euros) at the end of last year, or nearly 93% of gross domestic product in the euro zone states. That is way above the 60% limit that the euro zone had pledged.
Mind you, that is an improvement. The debt has come down slightly in the past few months (though it is still higher than it was a

Sony Computer Entertainment America filed two trademarks for Entwined and Kill Strain via the USPTO on April 14 and 15, respectively, hinting towards two new additions to Sony's ever-expanding library of games.
It's a common gesture for Sony to file this kind of document before a major event like E3, as they did last year with The Order: 1886 (via NeoGAF). Seeing that both trademarks are listed as video game software, it's safe to confirm that we'll be seeing them in the form of actual games.
The gaming community is predicting that Kill Strain will page a new chapter in the Syphon Filter franchise, bearing in mind that the most recent entry in the series was Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain. Others are pitching that Entwined is Media Molecule's next project, but clues influenced from the trademark's name are more illusive.
Do these predictions match your expectations? Give us a shout below.

A few days back electric versions of several Pacific models were added at their website.
Of interest is the Reach (pedelec) and CarryMe (motorized).
No weights listed, but the ReachIF is heavy to begin with, while the CarryMe is a great choice for a multi-mode throttle controlled electric bike. Not a lot of detail at this point, but with Li-Po batteries I'd venture to guess the combined electric gear adds 6kg ... perhaps in the range of 15kg?

« American Idol Recap: Top 12 Male Contestants Perform Live | Home | The Real Housewives Of Orange County Recap: Is Anyone Laughing? »
February 28, 2012 08:23 PM by Lisa Princ
Last week on NBC's The Biggest Loser, the "Anaconda" drama hit an all-time high, as Conda Britt took out her next victim, Daphne Dortch. As the tensions ran high last week, the black team threw the weight, which left Bob Harper disappointed, but did the contestants redeem themselves this week? Read on for all the highlights!
The Biggest Loser kicked off tonight as Alison Sweeney informed the remaining contestants that they would be heading home for 18 days, which was probably the Christmas and New Year's holidays. While they were at home, any and all contestants who could lose 5% of their body weight would gain automatic immunity at the elimination. The only problem with that was all the temptations surrounding the contestants, could they handle the pressure?
Before they could even settle in and catch up with their families, the contestants were greeted by a video from Ali, and a challenge. Each contestant would be rowing 10,000 meters from home! They would all do it at the same time, with the first person to finish winning a ten thousand dollar prize! We did not learn who won until the weigh-in, but it was Mark and Chism, who were pretty much neck and neck the entire time, with Kim and Emily right on their heels! Poor Chris was in last place the entire time, and even had to stop at one point for some leg cramping.
While at home, The Biggest Loser contestants struggled to avoid temptations, especially Cassandra, who had the bright idea to jump right back into baking – and shoveling a cookie down! We also watched as Emily made a breakthrough with her dad, and Megan was able to get on her horse for the first time in years, even taking her for a ride! Jeremy persevered through the temptations of hanging out with buddies, and luckily, we did not see much of Conda. Kim had a rough week as she was struggling with being away from her kids for so long, that she did not take care of herself as good as she could have while at home.
Meanwhile, Chris and Roy were reunited, but Chris was presented with all the stress of their home, as it appeared to be falling apart. Needing so much work done on their home, Chris revealed that she and Roy do various odd jobs just to make ends meet – sounds like that $250k prize would come in handy for these two. Chism was thrilled to be home as well, and we watched as he performed with his band, which was something he had missed while at the ranch. We did not see much of Chism and Mark working out though, but we did see Buddy hit the gym with his brother.
When the contestants returned to The Biggest Loser ranch, Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince were thrilled to get their hands on them for the last chance workout. Before they weighed in this week, we found out that Chism had won the rowing challenge and $10k, by only seven seconds over his dad! Here is how the players fared at the weigh-in:
Bob Harper's Black Team
from 293 lbs to 282 lbs (-11)
from 217 lbs to 205 lbs (-12)*gained immunity
from 245 lbs to 231 lbs (-14)*gained immunity
from 196 lbs to 185 (-11)*gained immunity
from 216 lbs to 199 lbs (-17)*gained immunity
from 188 lbs to 175 lbs (-13)*gained immunity
Dolvett Quince's Red Team
from 309 lbs to 289 (-20) *gained immunity
from 179 lbs to 169 lbs (-10)*gained immunity
from 226 lbs to 215 lbs (-11)
from 193 lbs to 186 lbs (-7)
from 317 lbs to 294 (-23) *gained immunity
Both Jeremy and Buddy hit the 100 lb mark this week, and Buddy was thrilled to have made it into the 200 range – somewhere he had not been since his daughter passed away. This weigh-in was tricky because Mark and Kim were the only two facing elimination on the red team, but almost all of the black team had gained immunity. Chism was the last black team player to weigh in, and he needed to lose 12 lbs to win the weigh-in for the black team and win immunity. But, if he did that, he was also sending his dad to the elimination room.
As you can see from the numbers, Chism only lost 11 lbs, which meant that he was automatically eliminated since all of his team members hit their goal and gained immunity. As soon as Chism's weight was revealed, Mark burst into tears. Mark pleaded that the producers let him go home instead of Chism, but at that point Chism stood up and told his father no. Chism has proven that he has grown up a bit and insisted on taking responsibility for his actions. In the end, Karma did bite the black team for what they did to Daphne last week. Chism is currently blogging on NBC's site, and told us all to check in with him there!

Ramos: Alternative Travel Options if Pulaski Skyway is Closed Need to be Clearly Delineated
Hudson Residents, Commuters Need to Know Impact, Alternatives in Advance of Closure
(TRENTON) – Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee member Ruben J. Ramos, Jr., on Thursday raised concerns at a special hearing that Hudson County residents and officials have had little input on the state Department of Transportation's (DOT) plan to close the Pulaski Skyway for two years for significant repairs and overhauls.
Ramos (D-Hudson) issued the following statement:
"Repairing the Skyway is necessary; no one is debating that. However, the impact that a full closure will have on residents of Hudson County – from longer commutes to alternate routes snaking through residential communities – needs to be clearly articulated.
"We don't want to see back roads and quiet communities suddenly explode with diverted traffic. We don't want to see commuters having to add hours and miles to their travels to and from work. And we don't want to repair the Skyway only to have alternative routes suffer accelerated wear and tear.
"Local stakeholders need to be aware of, and consulted on, alternative routes, so that they can alert residents and, when necessary, raise their concerns to DOT and come up with viable secondary solutions.
"This needs to be done, but it needs to be done in a way that has the least detrimental impact on Hudson County residents."
First opened to vehicle traffic in 1932, the Pulaski Skyway is listed on the New Jersey and national registries of historic places. The 81-year old, 3.5-mile elevated roadway has 108 spans, including two 550-foot spans over the Hackensack and Passaic rivers and carries more than 67,000 cars daily.

A Missoula County District Court judge has shot down an attempt to have the City of Missoula's lawsuit over Mountain Water Company thrown out.
Judge Karen Townsend issued the order Thursday in response to a motion filed by the Carlyle Group to dismiss the city's lawsuit against Carlyle, an international private equity firm, in order to acquire Mountain Water Company.
Mountain Water Company, owned by Carlyle, is the sole supplier of water to the City of Missoula, making Missoula the only major city in Montana that doesn't own its own water supply.

Using an MCE remote
Note: this article refers to build 26407 and later. Earlier versions of XBMC did not have all the features described in this and related articles. The first offical release of XBMC with this remote support will be v10.05.
If you have one of the many cheap MCE remote controllers then just connect it to your PC and there's a fair chance it will just work. If you have the official Microsoft MCE remote controller or a full compatible then you may need a small amount of extra effort to get it working: details below.
If you're in a hurry to get your remote working jump straight to:
- Using the official MS remote with XBMC on Windows
- Using non-MS remotes with XBMC on Windows
- Using remote controllers with XBMC on Linux
However if you have the spare five minutes it will take to read this article I recommend that you take the time to do it. Once you've read this article the articles above will make more sense.
Media Center remotes are obviously designed to work with Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition (hence the "MCE" acronym) so this article concentrates on Windows. However the same remotes will usually work with Linux and possibly OSX, and much of this discussion applies to all platforms.
On Linux there is a standard method for supporting remote controllers using software called Lirc. Assuming there is a Linux driver for your remote controller you can configure Lirc to use it with XBMC. Details are in the Linux article above. Note that XBMCLive is already configured to work with the official MS remote. Sadly, on Windows the situation is a lot more confused.
1 Why there is a problem (on Windows) ...
The problem with using MCE remotes is that there is no such thing as a standard MCE remote. There is the official Microsoft remote of course, and some remotes are genuinely fully compatible with the MS remote. Unfortunately the majority of MCE remote controllers, especially the cheap ones, work in different ways. There are four different ways a remote can work on Windows.
- The remote can send an IR code like the Microsoft remote. To use
the remote an application has to link to the IR driver.
- The remote can send the Windows message WM_APPCOMMAND. This
message is used to send a multimedia application messages like "Play",
"Pause", "Stop" etc. To use this type of remote an application has to
process the WM_APPCOMMAND messages.
- The remote can simulate multimedia keypresses when you press a
button. Multimedia keys were introduced with the Microsoft multimedia
keyboard, which has extra keys for multimedia functions like "Play"
etc. To use this type of remote an application has to process the
multimedia keypresses.
- Finally the remote can simulate the standard MS Media Center
keyboard shortcuts. When Microsoft introduced Media Center the
specified a set of standard keyboard shortcuts to operate it. For
example control-shift-P means "Play". Many cheap MCE remotes simulate
these keyboard shortcuts e.g. when you press the Play button they
simulate the keypress control-shift-P. To use this type of remote an
application has to process the Media Center keypresses.
2 ... and how to solve it
The good news is that from build 26407 onwards XBMC has support built in for remote controllers of types 2, 3 and 4. This includes the vast majority of the cheap MCE remotes, so the basic functions like "Play" etc will work without any messing around. A lot of MCE remotes include extra keys not on the official MS remote, and to get these to do anything you will need some manual configuration. All this is covered in the article on using non-MS remotes.
Ironically the official MS remote will not work with XBMC out of the box. This is because it uses IR codes i.e. type 1 in the list above, and XBMC does not support this. The good news is that the MS remote is easily reconfigured to work as a type 4 remote instead. This is covered in the article on using the MS remote.
3 A note on Linux
to be completed
4 How it works
Actually supporting the type 2 and 3 remotes is quite easy, and version 9.11 (Camelot) of XBMC already includes partial support for these types. The only changes in the post 26407 builds just extend the WM_APPCOMMAMD processing a bit. It's handling the type 4 remotes that is hard. This is because type 4 remotes send combinations of keypresses with modifier keys like Control and Shift. The key handler in XBMC v9.11 and earlier cannot process the key modifiers so it can't process the simulated keypresses sent by the type 4 remotes. The later builds include support for key modifiers and add the Media Center keyboard shortcuts to the key mapping file.
5 If you can't wait for v10.05
The remote controller support described above will be included in XBMC version 10.05. If you can't wait that long you'll need to build the latest version of XBMC yourself. If you don't have the development tools (or skills) to compile XBMC yourself there are several people around who provide development builds. See  http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=62109 for example. Alternatively there is an unofficial Windows build of v9.11 with key modifier support retro-fitted at xbmcmce.sourceforge.net.
6 Configuring the keyboard
You're into nerd (OK, "enthusiast") territory now. This section described how to manually edit the key mappings in XBMC. You will only need to do this if your remote sends non-standard keypresses, or if you want to use non-standard buttons on the remote. If you are going to do this make sure you read the article on using non-MS remotes first.
The mapping of keypresses like P to XBMC actions like Play is configured in a file called keyboard.xml. There is a copy of keyboard.xml in C:\Program Files\XBMC\system\keymaps, and the settings in this file apply to all users. In general you shouldn't edit or replace this file because any mistakes you make can be hard to undo. At the very least make a backup copy of the file before you change anything.
If you want to change the key mapping you can create a second keyboard.xml file in your userdata/keymaps folder (see below for where this folder is). XBMC combines the system keyboard.xml with your userdata keyboard.xml so you only need to add any extra keys; you don't need to duplicate all the key definitions already in the system keyboard.xml. You can also override any key definitions in the system keyboard.xml by putting the new definition in your userdata keyboard.xml.
If you use Linux then your userdata folder is $home/.xbmc/userdata so the full path to your keyboard.xml file is $home/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml.
If you use Windows the situation is a bit more complicated because it depends on whether you installed XBMC in default mode or portable mode. In portable mode the path to the file is C:\Program Files\XBMC\userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml. In default mode the file is in your profile, in %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml, where APPDATA is an environment variable. In both default and portable mode, if the keymaps folder doesn't exist in your userdata folder just create it.
A side note: if you are using the 64 bit versions of Windows replace C:\Program Files\ by C:\Program Files (x86)\. If you didn't install XBMC into the Program Files folder then replace C:\Program Files\XBMC\ by whatever directory you chose at installation.
7 Modifying keyboard.xml
The keyboard.xml file is just a text file and can be edited in any text editor like Notepad in Windows or gedit in Linux. One day there will be a nice GUI app for editing keyboard.xml, but for now you need to do it by hand.
The first step is to create the keyboard.xml file in userdata\keymaps. If there isn't a keymaps folder in userdata then create one now. To get you started there is a sample keyboard.xml here with key mappings for the standard Media Center keyboard shortcuts. In many cases just copying this file into userdata\keymaps will be enough to get your remote working.
If you make a mistake in the keyboard.xml XBMC will probably just ignore it and none of your extra keymappings will work. If you think this has happened look in the xbmc.log file for an error like:
ERROR: Error loading keymap: special://masterprofile/keymaps/keyboard.xml, Line 16 Error reading end tag. ERROR: Error loading keymap: special://profile/keymaps/keyboard.xml, Line 16 Error reading end tag.

Celebrity Hair
Kelly Osbourne's Debuts New Lavender Buzz Cut (VIDEO)
How short can she go! Kelly Osbourne's been slowly but steadily cutting her hair away inch by inch, unveiling her latest shorn look on Instagram. Rocking a killer cat eye, Kelly's got a mini-mohawk that has us wishing we could pull off something so chicly punk.
The 29-year-old British babe has chronicled every new look online (thanks girl!) and we can hardly wait to see what comes next. The retro pompadour she's currently sporting is the latest iteration of her lavender locks and, whether she meant to or not, Kelly's giving us a strong Demi Lovato vibe with that buzz cut and playful color.
The Fashion Police hostess has been at the top of her style game recently and looking particularly healthy and happy in all the photos she's been posting. We couldn't be happier to see it, particularly since Kelly's coming off a breakup with her one-time husband-to-be, vegan chef Matthew Mosshart.
The two amicably parted ways at the start of the new year and soon after Kelly embarked on her hair adventure. Coincidence? We think not.
Keep watching the video above to see Kelly's new closer crop for yourself. Then tell us what you think of her buzzed look!

So far, so good
National | Still tense after denying an affair, Bauer receives a warm welcome from Christian activists
in Washington - Gary Bauer is hardly a timid speaker. After a decade at the helm of the Family Research Council and roughly eight months on the presidential campaign stump, he's used to delivering the kind of impassioned stem-winder that almost always brings a Republican crowd to its feet. Still, as he neared the end of his speech to the 3,000 delegates gathered in Washington for the Christian Coalition's recent Road to Victory conference, he was oddly nervous. Though few in the audience knew it, the future of his campaign rode on the crowd's reaction. Just 48 hours earlier, he had stared down a phalanx of television cameras to angrily deny rumors of an affair with a 27-year-old campaign aide. It was the kind of rumor that could sink the campaign of a Christian conservative, and he knew it. Did his supporters believe him? Would they stand behind him? The speech at the Washington Hilton would be his first big test. "I thought today, this [speech] would be a good marker," he told WORLD shortly after the appearance. "If this audience had been subdued or cool in their response, I think it would have been a very clear message that this vicious attack could not be recovered from." Instead of a cool reception, Mr. Bauer received thunderous applause and several standing ovations. Indeed, his speech was one of the best received of the entire two-day event. His staff was clearly relieved. They seemed to have dodged a bullet. Yet the campaign continued to limp along under a cloud. On Oct. 5, another staffer called it quits, for a total of 10 resignations in five weeks. With nearly half of his 25 Washington employees heading for the exits, Mr. Bauer announced three important new appointments: a trio of FRC board members who originally came to Washington to look into the allegations of an affair. "[They] pored over the operating procedures in the campaign, our travel procedures, and so on," Mr. Bauer said. "At the end of that process, there was unanimity that we were OK, that there was nothing there." Despite the clean bill of health, cosmetic changes were forthcoming. In addition to joining the campaign, the three FRC board members formed an accountability group for Mr. Bauer, who later announced that he was ordering a glass door for his office in suburban Washington. Many former campaign workers wondered why such changes hadn't been made months ago, when they first started expressing discomfort over the role of the young female staffer. But Mr. Bauer insists he got no such advice from the people who mattered most: "When I went home and shared this with [my wife] Carol and [eldest daughter] Elise, if either of them had said, 'Dad, you've got to stop having those meetings,' that would have been the end of it that day. I mean, what my wife perceives, what my daughters perceive, is obviously going to direct how I handle myself more than, you know, a campaign staff member's advice." Indeed, the advice of staff members seemed to matter relatively little. Numerous campaign sources told WORLD they had expressed their frustrations and misgivings to Mr. Bauer as early as June or July. But only when rumors started to leak beyond campaign headquarters was any action taken: The accountability group was established just days before the press conference, and the glass door was announced a week later. By that time, the affair rumor was all but dead. Some questioned why it had been raised in the first place, since Mr. Bauer's most outspoken critic, former campaign chief Charlie Jarvis, had never accused him of having an affair. Rather, as Mr. Jarvis tried repeatedly to explain to the mainstream media, the real issue was one of Christian testimony and attempting to live above reproach. Mr. Bauer says he has always tried to do just that, "But I'm hard-pressed to think that-as long as I'm not being reckless-that somehow I can't have a professional woman on my team or I can't have them in trusted positions of advice-giving. That just doesn't make much sense to me." Based on the response to his speech at the Road to Victory conference, Mr. Bauer concluded it didn't make sense to a lot of Christian voters, either. By the time he left the Washington Hilton, he was guardedly optimistic about the campaign's future. "I don't know what God will do with it. Maybe, um, maybe I'm not supposed to be president. But God can also take a bad thing and use it for His purposes. So we'll just have to wait and see."

If you like Jenga-styled games, this is a fun variation. At first we could not imagine that it would work. The idea is that you set up four stories of towers (each has ten columns holding up the ring). Each player takes a turn pulling out columns and then adding that column above. While we had our doubts, it turns out that we could add all the other levels. Great fun--but we believe this is a much better game for the 8 & up crowd, not the marked 4 & up. The tension, not to mention the fine motor skills required to play this game will be too much for many kids (and certainly most 4 year olds).

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Volunteers will be out in force on Kentucky's highways next week for Adopt-a-Highway's "summer scrub."
Summer Scrub Week is June 2-8.
Nearly 750 groups participate in Kentucky's Adopt-a-Highway program, established in 1988. Volunteers clean approximately 5,100 miles of roadside annually, setting an example of responsible environmental stewardship.
Kentuck State Police Post 5 will host the 2013 Trooper Island Golf Scramble June 12 at the Henry County Country Club in New Castle.
Trooper Island is a summer camp for children from the counties of Oldham, Henry, Trimble, Carroll, Gallatin and Owen. It is a non-profit organization started in 1965 to invest in the youth of Kentucky that operates solely on private contributions.

Twenty-five years ago, 15-year-old Quinton Higgins spent about a month in Kosair Children's Hospital after suffering lung damage and second- and third-degree burns in the fiery bus crash.
Today, Higgins drives a Hardin County School bus.
The differences between the bus he drives every school day and the repurposed 1977 Ford B-700 school bus he was in that night in 1988 are like "night and day," Higgins said.
It was Friday the 13th, 1988. The last bell rang at Meadow View Elementary School and fourth-grade students Robin "Jill" Williams and Patty Nunnallee were the last two students in the classroom.
The Madison Art Club invites artists to submit entries for a special exhibit "Paint the Bridge" at the Art on Main gallery and gift shop.

Beyond the standard "Unbridled Spirit" and "In God We Trust" plates, Kentucky offers dozen of other license plates promoting everything from military service and a love of nature to coal and chiropractors.
But what's the most popular? The Herald-Leader asked the state Transportation Cabinet, which offered these statistics on the 3.79 million license plates on the road.

It's impossible to argue against the virtues of free money.
This is an Uncommonwealth about uncommon wealth — the kind waiting for you and me at the Kentucky state treasurer's office.
Simply take yourself to the state treasurer's unclaimed property website, type in your name and — voilà! — there might be money or property waiting for you.
Nowadays, everyone is a potential target for scam artists trying to separate well-meaning people from their hard-earned savings.
But in Trimble County and the surrounding area, the elderly still seem to be prime targets, and Sheriff Tim Coons is hoping to get the word out to prevent local residents from falling victim to scammers.
The most recent scam involves a young male calling the home of an elderly person or couple and claiming to be a grandson.

Richland County, SC (WLTX) - Richland County deputies have arrested two teens they say robbed restaurant delivery drivers.
Officers say the pair are charged with strong armed robbery and robbery.
According to deputies, on three separate occasions delivery drivers were targeted while taking food to a location on Childs Street.
The latest incident took place on January 7 around 9:30 p.m. Investigators say a pizza delivery driver came to that location, and was robbed of pizzas, his wallet, and bank cards by one of the juveniles.
On December 21 of last year, a driver for a local deli had his food, wallet, credit cards, laptop, and cell phone taken. Finally, on June 30 of 2012, the two ran toward a driver for a Chinese restaurant. In that instance, the driver got back in his vehicle, and deputies say one of the suspects threw bricks at the car as he escaped.

Tom Frost added 17 points in Wednesday's defeat to Arizona State. The two teams meet again on December 7 in Utah.
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) - Curtis Millage scored 26 points in his season debut, and Arizona State overcame poor free throw shooting to beat Utah 83-79 in overtime Wednesday and finish fifth in the Maui Invitational.
Millage, a senior guard who was Arizona State's leading returning scorer, missed the first three games of the season while questions about his academic eligibility were cleared up. He was given permission to play by the NCAA on Tuesday, and he joined his teammates in Hawaii that night.
The Sun Devils (3-1) took a 69-62 lead over Utah with 1:18 to play in regulation on a free throw by Jason Braxton.
Nick Jacobson of Utah (2-2) then hit three 3-pointers in a 33-second span - while Millage missed four free throws - to give the Utes a 71-69 lead with 24 seconds left.
Arizona State tied it on Braxton's rebound basket with 7.5 seconds to play, and Utah missed a chance to win it at the buzzer when Britton Johnsen's spin move was off the mark.
The Sun Devils scored the first eight points of overtime. Freshman Ike Diogu sandwiched four free throws around a 3-pointer by Millage, who then added a free throw that made it 79-71 with 1:35 left.
Diogu scored 22 for the Sun Devils, who were 32-for-57 (56 percent) from the free throw line, including 10-for-24 over the final 1:18 of regulation and the overtime. The 57 attempts were a school record, one more than it had against Arizona in 1955.
Johnsen had 23 points for Utah, while Tom Frost added 17, and Jacobson had 15, all on 3-pointers.
Millage, who shot 75 percent from the line last season, was 2-for-10 over the closing stretch and finished 8-for-20 for the game.
"Everybody can see what Curtis Millage means to this team with his
leadership and scoring," Arizona State coach Rob Evans said. "He got here at
8:30 last night and played this morning for the first time since last April.
You can practice free throws all you want, but it's different in competition
and he played a lot of minutes for us."
"I'm happy to be with the team, that's my family," he said. "I just had a lot on my mind the last two weeks and I'll work on the free throws when I get home. After you miss a couple or so you just have to go on to the next possession."
The teams meet again Dec. 7 at Utah.

Tamron 17-50 / D7000 compatability
Just received my Tamron 17-50 2.8 VC lens. I noticed that the Auto distortion control setting is grayed out in the shooting menu. Is this normal with non Nikon Lens?
I have only tried the lens indoors with flash so far. It is noticeable sharper than my Nikon 18-55 under the same shooting conditions, which I always considered pretty sharp. I will give it a good all round workout this weekend.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. There's actually no rule that an employer has to reimburse for mileage. Most employers do, as they can get tax deductions for the reimbursement of that mileage, but there is no actual requirement that the employer reimbursed mileage, either in federal law or Texas law.
An employee who uses a personal vehicle for business purposes and is not reimbursed for mileage can take the tax deduction himself, as long as he meets certain criteria. Careful documentation must be kept to demonstrate mileage related to business use, with the taxpayer tracking gas receipts and maintenance and upkeep-related financial records. The taxpayer may be asked to verify that the deductions are taken for mileage accrued only during the completion of necessary business functions, rather than personal use. Commuting time between home and a place of business is not considered a deductible expense unless the individual is self-employed.
Texas is an at will employment state. At-will employment means that without a contract, you have no contractual or other right to employment with the company. The company is entitled to fire you for any reason: a good reason, a poor reason, or no reason at all--as long as the company does not fire you for an illegal reason (race, gender, age, religion, etc...). But it extends beyond firing, to hiring, promotions, demotions, wage cuts and raises, disciplinary actions, and even scheduling. Unless you can show that this was done in violation of a contract, union agreement, or a clear violation of an unambiguous and binding clause against the employer, or that it was done because of some minority status (age, race, gender, religion, disability) that you have, then they do have this discretion.
I am sorry to hear about your situation, and I certainly agree that it's immoral and unethical to do this, as well as just a bad business practice. But it's not illegal to do so, and if your wife does not agree, she can be terminated.
(without recourse)
I know this is probably not what you wanted to hear, but it is the law. I hope that clears things up anyway. If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please rate my answer AND press the "submit" button, if applicable. Please note that I don't get any credit for my answer unless and until you rate it a 3, 4, 5 (good or better). Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX luck to you!
Hi Scott. If she is terminated for not doing this, can she file for unemployment?
She can certainly file, and most likely will be granted unemployment. I assume that visiting nursing homes is not part of her current job description. If that's the case, then this would represent a material change in her job description, and her job, as well as her compensation since she would not be reimbursed for the mileage is spent. As such, if she were to refuse, then she could argue that this was a quitting for cause.
Here's a file with "precedents": http://www.twc.state.tx.us/ui/appl/vl.pdf
basically what that is is a document that has cases for situations where an employee voluntarily left for cause or not for cause, and how Texas dealt with them.
Scott, we are having a hard time making ends meet as it is, so this would put a real hard ship on us, to the point that one of us would not have enough money for gas.
The little bit extra hours would not be enough to match the cost.
I understand your situation, and like I said I wish there was something that could be done to force them to pay for mileage.
But unfortunately that is entirely within their discretion.
Believe me, if it were up to me (and if it was something that I could do to change the law in this regard) I would. But that's certainly out of my hands...
Thanks lot, and have a great day.
I do hope that this information gives you a bit more guidance and direction on what to do, and I really do wish you and your wife the best of luck.
My pleasure.If you have any other questions, please let me know. If not, and you have not yet, please rate my answer AND press the "submit" button, if applicable. Please note that I don't get any credit for my answer unless and until you rate it a 3, 4, 5 (good or better). Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX good luck to you!

Industrial Production Plunges Most Since March 2009
In one more example of why we are going to need more-er and open-ended-er QE from the Fed, today's dismal data rolls on. Industrial Production dropped 1.2% MoM - its largest drop since March 2009 - and missed expectations by the most since December 2008. The market (expectedly) is unimpressed and stable - fully aware that the Fed's new infinite QE will simply be expanded to an infinte-er QE should things go from worse to worse-er. To add more salt to the wound, Capacity Utilization dropped to its lowest of the year and missed expectations by its most in 16 months. 15x P/E multiples here we come - all supported by moar hockey-stick growth trajectories, infinity +1 printing, and a status quo who needs moar commissions. So much for cleanest dirty shirt, eh? It seems 'they won't come' in our 'if we build it' economy - as factories go quiet from the over-exuberant mal-investment of channel-stuffers.
Industrial Production plunges....
as does Capacity Utilization....
Charts: Bloomberg
- advertisements -
Do you believe in miracles?
Maybe Krugman is right. Maybe we need more QE. You can read about it at his blog: Whatafuckinidiot.com
looks like there braking alot of windows in the middle east. Im sure there economy will be booming in no time.
Hey..thanks for the new link.
I was trolling his old site;
So Fed GDP forecast released yesterday was - 0.4% for 2012 compared to June forecast.
Next year and the year after they rvised it UP !!! Coz QE3 is gonna put the economyback on track.
Dont worry folks we got it covered nothing to see here, move along now....
"Yes, Virginia, based on the household survey, and manufacturing reports, the regional Fed surveys the US is in recession."
Nah - no panic at all. Benron was just channeling his "Inner Nero"
So what is Bernanke panicked about? One word: "jobs". If you want a second word it's "recession".
Bernanke already has a job. He is not about to panic over anyone else's. The only thing he is in a panic about is the true balance sheets of the TBTF banks.
And to claim they were doing it for the benefit of Main Street? What hypocrisy! New tarp in disguise.
And he's planning to leave his secure FED job and go back to Princeton... talk about CLUELESS!!!
With the current direction of things, the place certainly won't be paying the big bucks for "honored" emeriti. The question is, between now and then, will enough people figure out that today's college is a scam and abandon those hollow-ed poison ivy halls?? And even if it's still there and still in business, who would want to take a class from HIM?
"We are seeing a decline in the global economy. China has slowed down dramatically, so any commodity exporters which export to China are slowing down as well. We're already seeing this happen in countries like Australia. We are also starting to see the Australian housing market begin to crash."Read more at http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2012/09/panic.html#CTEws44AQslRMLRi.99 Thanks, Cult, for the link. Great info.
Sounds like the S. African PM miners picked a bad time to strike. I mean... if nobody's working, then nobody's buying. As to the Mega-rich - they can buy gold until they turn green - but what good is it if there's nothing to buy?
So they go to the slave market (aka Union Hall) to pick up a few dozen "workers"...
"The jobs are coming"
Swallowing is not recommended. :-)
I knew it! I just knew it!....Ben is not printing enough! Print until your eyes bleed Ben.
Clearly the good times are back.
Everything firing on all cylinders.
No need to make things when no one can afford to buy them.
Remind me again please, what things do we produce ?
CDOs, MBSs, Credit default swaps , derivatives.fiat, weapons ..and American Idol.. Wait forget that last one we stole that idea.
Beer, wine, whiskey and firearms.
OH so actually Ben's little announcement yesterday was to cushion the blow that was coming today....see this shit isnt for years out its to buy another month maybe 2.
What a box these fucker have put themselves and us in. No QE and the bottom falls out and we pay. QE and inflation explodes and the bottom falls out and we pay.
I guess the best question is...why is no one storming anything here?
Because people here still have the delusion of hope. Two hundred years of "good times" can do that.
Here? In the land of the free and the home of the brave?
The shining city on a hill?
Beacon of freedom, and land of opportunity?
Amerika is the capital of self delusion. And ironic as it is, I will quote a hollywood character to best describe it:
"Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it."
So Benny Bernanke and the fed throw more money at the banksters to boost stocks and commodity prices.
Manufacturers must raise prices to reflect the increases in the price of raw materials while trying to maintain or reduce labor costs.
Add in Obamacare and taxes in a few months.
Bernanke and the Fed will trigger more layoffs.
People will be willing to work longer and harder to keep their jobs will be doing the work of those laid off.
great post- but i hate it when logic gets in the way
This is awesome.. epic failure on the Feds part. Epic!
we have had the shittiest 4 years of fixed investment... future productivity is going to suck suck suck
Love how you keep at it Tyler! Awesome
Man I smell a nasty squeeze on the longs coming! This ramp up is so overdone!Crude Oil 99.60 +1.29 +1.31%
Wile E. Coyote has figured out that the reason he falls off a cliff is not that he has nothing under his feet.
But the cause of his falling is looking down.
Now I know where the saying "Don't look down" comes from.
Well... I know that if you look down while riding a motorcycle you are more likely to crash... Maybe it's the same sort of thing here?
I wonder if that would hold true if your motorcycle was going off a cliff? Evil Ka-kneevil just didn't apply the correct outlook... maybe? ("Don't look DOWN! Don't look DOWN! Look at the clouds and you can fly forever!!!")
don't worry, it's all covered under the new QE3 mandate...
Ben will simply print "more stronger" industrial production.
I'm ready. Only some small parent loans before being 100% debt-free - and enough cash (and like-cash) reserves to cover taxes and food.
I can get even smaller inversely to intervention.
You want to debase the currency and inflate? Go for it.
I completed my preliminary jobs forecast for 2013 and as of now I see a loss of 0.75% of the NFP. That equates to about 1 million jobs lost.
I can uderstand the panic in Bernanke's eyes. I don't get that he keeps trying the same basic approach.
Year over year profit growth for the 3rd quarter 2012 report I expect to be around $1.86 trillion, down from $1.91 trillion in the second quarter.
This leaves the annualized rate of year over year profit growth for the four quarters ending 9/2012 at 6.72%.
While the actual numbers from the BEA will not be released until the end of November 2012, I feel confident in these profit forecasts.
but don't good feelings like "CONSUMER SENTIMENT HIGHER THAN EXPECTED" trump things like-you know- shit actually being produced?
Do good feelings about the weather change the actual temperature? I do not think so.
Those making the hiring decisions are doing so based on their financials. I don't know anyone running their businesses based on polling data.
Well, other than Government Motors.
Pls reset you trading
clocks to September/October
2007, same shit will unfold only a heck of a lot more faster!!!!
Capacity utilization falls as well. Retail sales ex auto & gas decline.
Talk this morning by a former Fed governor (CNBC this morning) about Bernanke not seeking another term and going back to Princeton. He said Bernanke has had enough.
He shouldn't have had a first or second term...
Let me see.... where'd I put that time machine... can't find anything these days...
Good luck to him, he'll need it. A lot of pissed off people out there.

I am a fan of alternative dispute resolution. I suggest we have a pre-game mud wrestling match at Hilton between Pollard and Miles Brand. If Pollard wins by decision, Lucca plays after a 4 game suspension. If he wins by a pin, then Lucca plays that day and the NCAA issues a formal apology on the Jumbotron. If Brand wins, we send Pollard over to see Sanderson to prep for the rematch!!
wrestling...sure. UFC...of course! mud wrestling? im worried about you.
How about we just have Sanderson wrestle Brand... if Brand wins, every one of our players in every sport is declared ineligible, if Sanderson wins, the NCAA leaves us alone for the next 10 years unless we actually committ violations .
have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.
So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?

- Hydro Power Without Reservoir - A new hydro power technology is being developed by Sarfraz Ahmad Khan of Pakistan. In theory these hydro plants would not require a reservoir and would have a minimal impact on the environment. They could be run side-by-side in rows and would be much cheaper to build, operate and maintain. (Alternative Energy News; Apr. 11, 2007)
- Beck Mickle "low head" micro hydro generator - Scottish inventor, Ian Gilmartin, has invented a mini water wheel capable of supplying enough electricity to power a house from as little as an eight-inch water fall. The contraption is designed to be used in small rivers or streams.

Her creations include beautiful handbags, designer courier bags, trendy outer covers of laptops, colorful wallets etc. She also delivers specifically customized creations to willing customers. She only uses waste and eco friendly products to create her artistic masterpieces, which are very affordable and of high utility.
Plastenka, a social worker too, has employed psychiatric patients, who were on the threshold of ostracization from the society, into her creative trade. She also employs high school students, who, through her endeavors, get great exposure and some vital vocational training. Hence, Plastenka is not only helping the garbage disposal problem faced by urban cities, but also working as an agent of change and transforming lives of many less privileged people. She is also spreading happiness and smiles by her artistic creations that are very pleasing to the eye and satisfying for the soul.

bullets and casings and connects guns to crimes.
jewelry store robbery in Dade County, Fla., went awry late last year and two people were shot by one of the perpetrators. A few weeks later, shots were fired during an auto parts store robbery. Shell casings collected at both crime scenes were matched to the same gun by the county crime laboratory, yet detectives didn't have any solid leads.
But the county crime laboratory is armed with Drugfire, a networked system enabling forensic labs to compare spent cartridges. After searching Drugfire databases at other labs, Dade County criminalists found that the same weapon was also fired at a home in a neighboring county.
Detectives later went to the house and interviewed the residents, who said they thought they knew who was responsible for the shooting because of a long-running feud.
Detectives arrested the man the residents suspected and recovered a handgun. Testing verified that it was very likelythe weapon used to shoot at the house as well as in the Dade County robberies.
The key to Drugfire, a networked system which holds images of spent cartridges, is that it can help link weapons to other shootings.
