It doesn't matter what road you take, so long as you end up on the right path. for Dennis r. schaffner it took him awhile to find his way behind the seat of a custom classic truck. But, as you can see, once Dennis found his way, he really found his way by building this wicked awesome '47 Chevy Here's Dennis telling his tale:
"My interest in old trucks started many years ago as a young boy. growing up in the late '50s, early '60s, my dad always had an old truck. as a teen i worked on my uncle's farm during the summer months and there was always old trucks scattered about the farm. i learned to drive a 1955 ford f-100 when i was about 14 years old. that was the foundation of my infatuation with old trucks.
"In 1987 I was attending a neighborhood yard sale and saw a sign for an old chevy truck selling for $300. after some investigation, i discovered the old truck overgrown with weeds in the corner of a vacant lot. The truck had a lot of dents and rust. i thought what the heck and made an offer of $250.
"At this point my goal was to put a minimal amount of money into it and keep it as a stock vehicle. Up to this point my main interests were in corvettes, and i didn't know much about sheetmetal repair. When i bought the truck, I thought what's the difference if it's dented or rusted, it still needs to be repaired. as I proceeded to sandblast the sheetmetal I learned a very valuable lesson about rust: avoid it at all possible cost. after two or three years of a frustrating on-again, off- again process, the truck took a back seat to other activities for 10 or 12 years.
"About five years ago the street rod bug bit harder than it had over the past 25 years. i started thinking about the old truck in my backyard again. With the help of my nephew, troy gutshall, and my son, colby, i tore the chassis completely apart and added a Mustang ii front suspension, chassis engineering rear leaf springs, a 327 chevy small-block backed by a 350 turbo tranny, an 8-inch ford granada rearend, and a frame-mounted gas tank from No Limit engineering. Living less than an hour from two of the biggest automotive swap meets in the world, Carlisle and hershey, Pa, i thought I should be able to find better sheetmetal. i started gathering nice original fenders, bedsides, a tailgate, a grille, and a nice cab. With all the sheetmetal in primer, the truck was assembled and driven for approximately two years.
"In the winter of 2005 the truck was taken to Leon 'smitty' smith in abbottstown, Pa, for the final tweaking of the body and the paint. as per my plans, smitty removed the drip rails, peaked the hood, shaved the door handles, fit the extended and smooth running boards from smoothie fabrications, built a custom roll pan with '56 chevy taillights, frenched the headlights, narrowed and filled the stake pockets, removed the tailgate hinges, and contoured the front of the bed to the back of the cab. then he proceeded to squirt the imron corvette torch red paint. smitty also narrowed the '49 cadillac dash i found in a salvage yard and mated the Cadillac door panels to the original window garnishes.
"Inside the cab, all the switches and controls are located along the bottom 32 feBrUary 2008 n custom classic trucks of the dash. cruise control from Dakota Digital was added for creature comfort. the seat, seatbelts, and headliner are from rod Doors. Both have been slightly modified. Billet specialties gets the credit for the column and Vintec steering Wheel. classic instruments all American series gauges add a touch of class to the '49 cadillac dash.
"once all the necessities were added, an upholsterer was needed to stitch a clean, contemporary interior. after months of searching, the name Mike haverstock, of Chambersburg, Pa, came to the forefront. Mike and I came to an agreement on colors and styles and chose a dark tan hide and matching suede for the headliner and a complementary square-weave carpet. Mike created a panel to cover the area behind the seat housing the fuse panel, battery, and speakers, as well as a nice overhead console that houses the sound system by alpine. the center floor console that i made from the original hood ornament was also covered in leather."
"Also at this time, the frame was boxed, c-notched, and powdercoated silver gray. i also added a 700r4 tranny and 4.11 gears. the suspension was updated with heidt's tubular control arms with air bags, air ride technologies compressor and controls, 11-inch rotors, and a remote-fill master cylinder from eci inc. the rear leafs were also replaced with a tci four-link with coilovers. flowmaster 40s create the sounds from the pipes. i also machined the oak planks and added the hidden bolt WOW strips.

Ex-Islanders partial owner admits investment fraud
NEW YORK (AP) A former partial owner of the New York Islanders pleaded guilty to securities fraud Friday, admitting his participation in a 13-year fraud that authorities said enabled him to misappropriate more than $50 million for his own use.
Stephen Walsh, 69, of Sands Point, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to a charge that carries the potential for up to 20 years in prison. Sentencing was set for July 29.
From 1996 to 2009, Walsh operated a securities business with Paul Greenwood of North Salem, Conn. The businesses included Greenwich, Conn.-based WG Trading Co. LP and Westridge Capital Management Inc. in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Authorities said the men misappropriated hundreds of millions of dollars from the accounts of their clients, who included charitable and university foundations and pension plans.
"Stephen Walsh and his partner Paul Greenwood ran an investment operation that was a veritable money-making machine – for them," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a release. "Their purported investing strategy wasn't nearly as effective as their fraudulent sales pitch to investors. Walsh personally pocketed tens of millions in stolen investor dollars. He will soon surrender his money and himself to answer for this fraud."
As part of the plea, Walsh agreed to forfeit $50.7 million. He and his lawyers declined to comment as they left the courtroom of Magistrate Judge Kevin Nathaniel Fox.
Prosecutors said Walsh and Greenwood raised billions of dollars from investors for their commodities trading and investment advisory businesses. They said the men created false promissory notes and account statements to conceal their theft.
Walsh told the magistrate judge that he caused the issuance of tens of millions of dollars in promissory notes to aid the fraud.
With hundreds of millions of dollars in misappropriated money, the government said, Greenwood bought horses and collectibles while Walsh financed his lifestyle and business ventures for his children while buying an apartment and providing divorce payments of millions of dollars to his ex-wife.
Prosecutors said Walsh and Greenwood created false account statements for clients to reflect fictitious returns consistent with their promises.
Greenwood pleaded guilty in July 2010 and awaits sentencing.

A mother and daughter who have spent over £60,000 on perfecting their looks are to star in a new show called My Mum's Hotter Than Me. The show, to be aired on Channel 5 (where else), follows different stories of parents trying to compete with their children. In particular, it features mum and daughter duo, Georgina and Kayla Clarke who are both plastic surgery fanatics. Their skin is orange, their fake boobs pneumatic, and their lips so ridiculous that they look as though they've been pumped up with air at the petrol station. They think they look amazing, but they must have a different mirror at home because the words spec and savers spring to mind. The pair, who turn heads but only for the wrong reason, are so hooked that Kayla began plotting her first breast enlargement at just 11. Whilst most children dream of playing with Barbie dolls, Kayla wanted to look like one. As she grew, the former tomboy began to model herself on her idol, Katie Price. She not only had her boobs enlarged from a C cup to a G, she also shelled out on semi-permanent make-up and regular sessions on the sun bed to turn her skin the colour of creosote. Katie was her inspiration, but if I were Katie Price I'd be gutted because Kayla looks much older than her actual age - 21. But what does her mother think of her daughter's dramatic transformation? She's proud. In fact, she's so happy that she's hopped on-board the plastic fantastic surgery train after Kayla suggested she get her lips done. Now it seems there's no stopping them. Despite spending around £60,000 on their transformations so far, Kayla craves even more surgery, including another boob job, a nose job, liposuction and fat transfer, and a Brazilian butt lift.
She admits: "Women just stare...but I quite like it. If other people don't like it, it's one of those things. It's not everyone's cup of tea. It's my body and this is what I like. I really like the fake look."
Fair enough. It is her body, but what happens when she gets older? Will the NHS have to step in to help? After all, gravity always wins. Unlike 'celebrity' Josie Cunningham, at least Kayla has paid for her own boob job, although her career choice is a little questionable. She does 'webcam work' and strips for a living to rake in enough cash. She does this with Georgina's knowledge. In fact, her mum was supportive when Kayla bagged herself a 50-something sugar daddy at 18 to help pay for surgery. In return Kayla provided 'companionship'. Whilst most people treat their mum to a nice outfit to wear or new hairdo to make them feel good about themselves, Kayla's 'work' funds her mother's plastic surgery.
Georgina, 39, explains: "I'm so lucky to have a daughter like Kayla who pays for my treatments. I don't mind her having a sugar daddy or stripping to pay for our cosmetic work because we're living the dream. I'm really proud of her."
She hopes to complete her 'look' with more surgery later this year. The mum-of -four wants a designer vagina. Yes, that bit left me speechless, too. For starters, why a mother would even want to compete with her daughter is beyond me. Also, what's wrong with trying to inspire young women to use their brains instead of their bodies to get on in this world?

Tupac Shakur Hologram Bolsters Album Sales
Not only was the Tupac Shakur Hologram a hit at the Coachella Music Festival, it also boosted sales of the late rapper's posthumous albums. Buoyed by his virtual performance, Tupac's 1998 album Greatest Hits returned to the Billboard 200 album chart for the first time since 2000.
The collection entered at No. 129 with 4,000 copies sold. Other albums by Tupac that saw a sales bump included his 1996 effort 'All Eyez on Me' (2,000 copies) and his 1995 LP 'Me Against the World' (1,000 units).
Elsewhere, the two songs from the virtual Tupac's Coachella performance, 'Hail Mary' and '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted' (featuring Snoop Dogg), netted 13,000 and 9,000 downloads, respectively, last week. Meanwhile, his 1995 chart-topping hit 'California Love' (featuring Dr. Dre) garnered 11,000 downloads.
While the resurgence in Tupac's music is benefiting the late rapper's estate, some may look at it as exploiting the dead. Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame is among many critics who wasn't feeling the Tupac hologram.
"I hated it," he said. "That s— wack. I don't think they should be doing that [because] they getting paid off a dead man's body. You gotta let that man rest in peace. He's a great."
Hopefully, Tupac's sales bump was sparked by a new generation of music fans interested in learning more about the late rap icon. If that's the case, then it's a win-win situation for the listeners and Tupac's enduring legacy.

The wet one
It didn't begin that well, really. I'd invited the girl to dinner, yes, but not because I was romantically inclined, or interested in her at all. I just wanted to see if this quiet, shy and always slightly disheveled and disconnected one changed outside the work place. Obviously, the curiosity overtook me in the middle of the Mumbai monsoon, and the girl wanted to get to our chosen dinner place on the back of my motorcycle. Come to think of it, the girl's name, literally meant rain.
Let me introduce the central character in the story, Feroz (Spanish, adj. Ferocious; pronounced feyrroz), my late '80s RD350 (she's no longer with me though, we sort of broke up. I was working too hard and not spending enough time with her, she said. I was guilty as charged). I came to meet her mostly by chance and soon came to love her. I was warned, 'That one? She's jinxed. Every rider who's ever been on her has fallen.' Two years later, I still hadn't. She'd start after a fashion every morning and run blissfully the rest of day. Tuned for mid-range, Feroz was a sublime pleasure. Always willing, usually able and never shy of pushing the envelope just a little bit when we were both in the mood. She also had a great singing voice.
Anyway, on the appointed evening, I went down fifteen minutes early and wiped the seat down. It was a tattered old bag of foam with cracks in the rexine that would let the rain sneak and hide in the sponge. And when you sat on the perfectly dry surface, Feroz would paint your butt with two large bull-eyes. The moment I got back in the elevator, it rained hard for precisely two minutes. So when the lady finally arrived, the seat was soaking wet again. She was sweet enough to cut right through my embarrassment and say, 'It's okay, I'll survive a wet seat.'
Then, Feroz threw one of her famous tantrums, she refused to start. As if to say, 'You're joking, right? You are not ferrying another chick with my help.' Wearing my helmet, jacket and all, lady wearing another lid, rain coming down in sheets, I kicked and kicked and until finally, out of pity I think, she finally burst to life.
Moments later we were off. Feroz appeared to be behaving herself and the gathering night was sweeping by at a pretty rapid rate as the three of us plunged deep into south Mumbai. And then Feroz sputtered. And again. Out of instinct I reached under the carb and realised she was flooding away like there was no tomorrow. Bitch.
I pulled into a fuel pump and got her brimmed. The rest of the evening would involve a fair amount of petcock (that pornographic word is probably the most interesting of all in motorcycle jargon) juggling to keep the flood to a minimum and the ride smooth. Feroz was not going win the battle this way.
The lady, on the other hand, was more of less oblivious to my raging argument with Feroz. She was a tiny, light little thing who all but disappeared on the back of the bike. Hell, if it wasn't for Feroz's nagging, I'd almost have forgotten she was on the bike. On one corner, I leaned in pretty hard, and Lady Rain proved perfect. Not a missed beat, no clutching, just a smooth line. I was wishing the dinner joint was further away.
We turned up at the seaside Italian restaurant, sputtering and Feroz aside, happy. The night slowed and the dinner went swimmingly. Lady Rain wasn't that different, but she had a hell of a lot more to say outside the workplace. Upshot, it was nice.
Post dinner, Feroz's mood seemed to have improved. She started meekly and while I was still fiddling with the fuel control, she ran quietly. Almost as if she'd finally figured out that my interest in Lady Rain was platonic, on the level and in no way competing with her. Ten minutes and a fleeting hug (I refused to get off the bike for some reason, was I reassuring Feroz?) later, Feroz and I were alone again. The carburettor dried up almost immediately. Her singing voice cleared right up and I finally left the fuel cock on the mains.
We rolled off high above the water, as the narrow road wound down. The night and the rain were peaking and so was Feroz. The meek thrum had gained an edgy bark that I hadn't heard before and she seemed happy suddenly.
For perhaps the only time in my riding career so far, I felt at one with the night, the rain and Feroz. Today, I could not crash. Today, I was invincible. Feroz and I turned into an impossibly alive streak in the night. Home was forty kilometres away. And we'd play all the way. Once the road opened, we screamed into its deserted expanse, rear tyre sending a ten foot tall, seething wet hello arcing into the past. The speedo climbed quickly to settle at about 130 kph. This is the speed beyond which Feroz would usually complain, but not tonight.
We shot out of the city streets on to the highway. Tonight, the trucks moved out of our way of their own. Sheets of water stood up off their zillion wheels to watch us scream past, leaving a frothy wake and a lively song that hung in the air as our 'we were here' postcards. The headlight gave off a steady contrail of fresh steam and lit up miles of wet, gleaming tarmac, seeming smiling in welcome.
We reached home having averaged a serene 120 kph. As Feroz ticked over silently in the garage, the only other sounds were the sizzle of steam coming off the exhaust and the rounded plops of water dripping off me. And a contented hum from the rain outside. Would we ever be this good together again?

While this unwanted secondary function is an obvious risk to health, it also provides cancer researchers with an opportunity. Researchers in the field believe that understanding the characteristics of IGF-IR activity could help them develop important therapeutic treatments which use these attributes to target cancerous cells in the breast, lung and colon.
The potential for using these versatile proteins as targets in cancer cells has attracted major interest from pharmaceutical companies and clinicians alike. At least 70 clinical trials are under way worldwide to test several different drugs that inhibit the IGF-1R and the IGF-I signalling pathway at different points.
One of the major challenges to targeting the IGF-1 pathway in cancer is the lack of suitable biomarkers, the measurable substances that reflect the severity or presence of a disease. These could be used to assess IGF-IR activity in tumours, facilitate the selection of patients and subsets of tumours that are most likely to respond to inhibitors, and monitor responses to IGF-1R inhibition.
Marking out the route
The BioMarker IGF project, supported by Marie Curie Actions – an EU research fund managed by the Research Executive Agency (REA), aims to address this problem by identifying and validating biomarkers for the IGF-I signalling pathway in cancer – in other words, what prompts the cancer to grow.
"The IGF-1 signalling pathway is active in a majority of cancers and contributes not only to the growth of tumours and the ability of cancer to spread, but also to a lack of responses to many existing therapies, including chemotherapy and radiation," says Professor Rosemary O'Connor, the project coordinator.
"To successfully combine the right drugs to attack a particular cancer or subset of cancers, biomarkers of activity, which means being able to assess the status of the IGF-1 pathway in patients' cells, are required," she adds. These biomarkers will ultimately determine which kinds of cancer may benefit from which drug combinations.
The research is being carried out by experts in IGF-1 signalling at University College Cork in collaboration with experts in pharmacogenomic (the influence of genetic variation on drug response) approaches to biomarker discovery in cancer at Almac Diagnostics, a Northern Irish Biomarker Discovery, Development and Delivery company.
The collaborative aspect, which includes extensive transfer of knowledge and experience, as well as exchanges of researchers, is integral to the project's success. The co-operation is also expected to lead to the development of commercial applications.
"Our industry partner Almac is currently engaged in developing diagnostic tools for the treatment of cancer," Prof. O'Connor says. "Other companies and clinical investigators are also testing inhibitors of the IGF-1 pathway."
Prof. O'Connor says that the ultimate objective of the project is to select a clinically validated signature or biomarker for IGF-1 pathway activity in one or more cancers. "This would ideally be used to select patients or subsets of cancers suitable for inhibitors of this pathway in combination with other therapies," she concludes. "The biomarkers could also be used to monitor therapy responses."
The project team is currently in the process of analysing data from genomic screens to identify good matches. These will then be validated using patient databases, and tested in clinical trials.

The Central Kansas Community Foundation—Butler County, an affiliate of Central Kansas Community Foundation based in Newton, has announced the establishment of the Kansas Governor's One-Shot Turkey Hunt endowment.
In 1987, former Gov. Mike Hayden and Marv McCown, former executive vice president of the El Dorado Chamer of Commerce, founded the Governor's One-Shot Turkey Hunt with the idea of inviting people in different professions to participate as celebrities hunting wild turkeys in central Kansas.
By inviting these people to El Dorado, Hayden and McCown hoped to make them aware of the business opportunities available in the area as well as realize the great outdoor resources Kansas has to offer. At the same time the hunt would keep the wild turkey and conservation in the forefront.
The event has enjoyed great success and growth since its inception, bringing hunters from all over the world.
"The Kansas Governor's One-Shot Turkey Hunt began with a handful of hunters and dedicated volunteers," said Janet Post, board executive director of the organization. "Today the event has more than 80 hunters, 600 volunteers, Kansas youth, national youth, and Wounded Warrior programs, as well as the Willis Scholarship program."
"We feel it is time to give back to the community. The Central Kansas Community Foundation gives us a place to invest for the future of our event and honor the dedication of all who have participated in the past 27 years," she said.
The annual distribution will be directed back to the organization to support key elements of the two-day hunting event.
For more information about becoming a volunteer or sponsor for the event, contact Post at (316) 321-3825.

Hubble Uncovers Most Robust Sample of Distant Galaxies
This new image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) 2012 campaign reveals a previously unseen population of seven faraway galaxies, which are observed as they appeared in a period 350 million to 600 million years after the big bang.
The galaxy census is the most robust sample of galaxies ever found at these early epochs. The galaxies were seen in near-infrared light using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3.
The colored squares in the main image outline the locations of the galaxies. Enlarged views of each galaxy are shown in the black-and-white images. The red lines mark each galaxy's location. The "redshift" of each galaxy is indicated below each box, denoted by the symbol "z." Redshift measures how much a galaxy's ultraviolet and visible light has been stretched to infrared wavelengths by the universe's expansion. The larger the redshift, the more distant the galaxy, and therefore the farther astronomers are seeing back in time.
One of the seven galaxies may be a distance breaker, observed at a redshift of 11.9. The galaxy is seen as it appeared 380 million years after the big bang, when the universe was less than 3 percent of its present age.
The HUDF 2012 observations were taken in August and September 2012.
The members of the UDF 2012 team are R. Ellis (California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.), B. Robertson (University of Arizona, Tucson), R. McLure and J. Dunlop (University of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom), D. Stark (University of Arizona, Tucson), M. Ouchi (University of Tokyo, Japan), A. Koekemoer (Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Md.), M Cirasuolo (University of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom), S.

We are finishing up 2016 at Freshly Made Sketches with a sketch designed by yours truly. And I'll bet you won't be surprised that it's a square one! Of course, if squares are not your thing feel free to use whatever shape card you like best. Our challenge will be open longer than usual so you'll have until January 2nd to play along with us.
Don't adjust your sets, folks. That is indeed a Christmas card you see here. In fact, it is the first Christmas card that I created for 2017! Either that or I'm so far behind I'm ahead of myself! There was a pretty color challenge going on at Cupcake Inspirations and a Christmas challenge at CAS-ual Fridays so I couldn't resist sneaking in one more Christmas card this year.
I've been a bit lazy about crafting this week since a lot of my favorite challenge blogs are on a holiday hiatus. This is actually the only card I've made all week and I probably won't make any more until after Christmas. But during my little mini-break I've managed to finish up my Christmas shopping and over the next couple of days I will wrap gifts and then the festivities can begin for real!
I hope that during this busy time of year you can find time to join us at Freshly Made Sketches for our last challenge of the year. Remember, this challenge will stay open until January 2nd so there's plenty of time to play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: Christmas Carols (CAS-ual Fridays)
Paper: Classic Ivory (Flourishes); Kraft Core Metallic (Tim Holtz); Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink)
Accessories: Blooming Poinsettia die (Memory Box); Linen impression plate (Papertrey Ink)

- Seaman Specialists can be men or women
The Royal Navy's surface ships are modern, complex machines which have many tasks to perform. To operate them effectively in all conditions, both at war and in peacetime, requires a team of dedicated and highly skilled people. Modern warfare conditions mean that a ship's ability to defend itself from short-range attacks is more important than ever - Seaman Specialists form a key part of that defence.
We offer most people the security of a Full Career, which is 18 years or to age 40, whichever is later. Some people may have the opportunity to serve for longer, depending on their wishes and the needs of the Service. However, if you want to leave the Royal Navy, you can submit 12 months' notice two and a half years after the end end of your initial professional training. The exact length of this training period depends on the particular job you do and the level of training it requires. All new recruits have a right of discharge at 14 days notice after 4 weeks, within the first 6 months of service, regardless of career terms.
Seamanship Specialist information pack
On Board
Name: Dionne Brigden
Age: 21
What kind of work have you been doing recently?
We've had eight weeks worth of getting the ship back up to scratch ready to go on this big deployment. Lots of exercises and training to get us ready to go into action again. It was long and it was tiring, but it was good. One night we did an exercise where people came and attacked the ship with small weapons from the dockside. We had to get all armed up and go around and defend the ship. That was really exciting.
What is the hardest thing about being away at sea?
I miss my mum, my dad, my sister and my dog. But when I go home, after a week or so I'm thinking, 'I want to go back now, I miss all my friends.' It's like having 250 brothers and sisters on board.
I like to keep fit. While we were away at sea recently we were doing circuits three times a day - you know, you go on the flight deck and do press-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts and things. There are also rowing machines, step machines and other gym equipment on the ship. When the ship's alongside, we've got a girls' football team and we're doing really well at the minute. I think we've played nine ships and we haven't been beaten so far.

Today, I would like to wish all my readers a Happy Thanksgiving. For most of us, that means a day spent with family and friends, gathered together for a meal (and some football!) that signifies thankfulness for not only food and the necessities of life, but for our most precious gifts - each other.
If you currently live in the South, or if you have lived in the South and are now transplanted elsewhere, before all the turkey and the football, there is cornbread dressing. In our family, the recipe for this staple Thanksgiving dish has been handed down for generations. My mother, whose recipe I make, says she learned to make the dressing from my dad's Great Aunt Stella, who learned to make it from her mother, my great-grandmother Claudia Baldridge Branch. The source of the recipe gets fuzzy past that point, but attributing it to Granny Claudy makes the recipe at least a century old.
Besides being an "heirloom" recipe, what makes this cornbread dressing special? For me, it is the aroma and taste created by the just-right combination of celery, onion, sage, and thyme. Nothing says dinner is almost ready quite as much as the aroma of cornbread dressing baking in an oven from which good ole Tom Turkey has just been removed!
So that's what I will be doing tomorrow.....making that heirloom recipe for some family and friends. And while I am making the cornbread, chopping the celery, and dicing the onion, I will be giving thanks for so many, many things - family that makes me happy, friends who make me smile, food, shelter, and clothing, and all the many other blessings that God has bestowed upon me ~ including all of you, dear readers, who continue to follow my blog.
Now go and enjoy the cornbread dressing!

Last Friday, President Obama quietly signed an executive order titled, "National Defense Resources Preparedness."
The order is on the White House website right now.
But no two news sources can agree on what it means.
The Drudge Report linked to it under the title, "MARTIAL LAW? WHITE HOUSE ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER: 'NATIONAL DEFENSE RESOURCES PREPAREDNESS'...
And Huffington Post writer Edwin Black called attention to it, saying that the document puts the United States on a "war footing."
Some right-wing websites are saying that Obama's executive order is effectively a "coup against U.S. citizens."
So what is in this document?
It's based in part on the Defense Production Act of 1950, which mobilized America for the Korean War. Basically that law granted the Executive branch of government broad authority in the economy: to compel businesses to sign contracts to produce goods for the national defense, to set wage and price controls, especially on raw materials, and to even requisition property that might be useful for national defense.
The Act has been reauthorized and passed through Congress many times, most recently in 2008 by President Bush, who had previously re-authorized it in 2003. President Clinton did the same in 1994.
Here is part of the text of the Executive order that is most interesting to imagine being used:
Sec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;
(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;
(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;
(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;
(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and
(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.
So essentially, different Cabinet departments could take command over their respective parts of the economy during a national emergency, which the president determines.
We all know instinctively that in a national emergency or war the government is going to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of Constitutional niceties.
This Executive Order reauthorizes and "legalizes" that process, in the same way every Administration has done for the past sixty-two years.
If this is a coup, it already happened long ago.

Alicia Keys Is Ballin' on Complex Cover
Alicia Keys is ballin' on the over of the December/January issue of Complex. The 'Girl on Fire' singer is sitting leisurely in a ball chair, looking effortlessly stunning in an oversized white top while barefoot.
The set up (but not the styling) of the image reminds us of a Beyonce cover of yore.
Much of the shots in the spread feature the singer looking flawless yet unfussy. Her bob is growing out a little, but she's still chic.
In the feature, Keys opened up about her public and personal life, saying that she needs to have parts that are reserved just for her. "There's personal and there's public, and I deserve the right to have a personal space," the singer said. True dat.
She also shared that she is so driven that she actually competes with herself. How does that work? Simple. She is never satisfied with the last thing she did. "I'm competitive with myself in the sense that I want to get better. It's not that I'm obsessively dissecting myself, but there's a critique that happens … I'm not comparing myself to other people. I don't wanna be like her or him. I want to be my best."
That's a healthy and positive attitude for the singer and young mother to have.

A French artist and designer named Gael Langevin has taken the idea of a "build your own robot" kit to the next level through an ambitious hobbyist project called InMoov. The open-source project's ultimate goal is a full-sized animatronic humanoid robot that can be printed and assembled by anyone with a 3D printer.
Langevin writes a detailed
blog about the project, charting its progress every step of the way by sharing sketches of his work and the trial-and-error process of designing the robot. The blog also includes the printer files for the robot for free download. The robot can then be assembled from those parts and off-the shelf electronics at a cost of less than $1,000. The robot's parts are mainly made using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS, plastic material.
Langevin -- who works as a sculptor and model maker for Factices Ateliers -- has so far finished the head, arms, and hands of the robot, which looks like an albino and a slightly more lifelike C3PO from the Star Wars films. He is currently working on its torso, according to his blog.
To program the robot, Langevin used a number of sketch programming languages, including Serialterm, MyRobotLab, and Arduino.
Langevin's blog also includes a forum where people working on building the robot can share tips, ask questions, and generally geek out over the project. It is also a help center for assembly of the robot at home, with a photographic step-by-step guide to building it.
The artist has some fairly ambitious plans for a homemade robot in terms of capabilities, according to the blog. Voice recognition and object detection are among Langevin's goals for his 3D-printed humanoid robot, which in a recent video can be shown already responding with movement to voice commands (watch it below).
In addition to the printer, in order to assemble an InMoov robot, you will need:
- 12 MG995/HK2598 servos
- Eight Hitec HS805BB servos
- 0.8 mm nylon thread (or fishing line)
- 6V 44A batteries and charger, among others
There seems to be no end to the number of things that can be created using a 3D printer these days. Auto parts, reproductions of old recordings, and even haute couture clothing have now been printed this way, and the list of possibilities for 3D printing keeps growing.

Martin Introduces the CEO-6 CEO39s Choice
Each generation of the Martin family has made a lasting contribution to the quality and innovativeness of Martin guitars. And Chris Martin, the sixth generation Martin to head the company, is no exception.
From the outset, Chris has embraced modern technology and its application to guitar making, including computer assisted carving machines, hybrid bracing systems, high-tech finishes, alternative materials, sustainable "smart wood" sources and the like.
At the same time, Chris has been a fierce guardian of the Martin heritage, blending traditional building methods with the new technology to make guitars of extraordinary tone, beauty, finesse, responsiveness and stability.
The new Martin CEO-6 Special Edition is the latest example of his ingenuity. Based on the early "Sloped Shoulder" Dreadnought design originated by Martin in the 1930s, the 14-fret CEO-6 features a solid wood Red Spruce "Adirondack" top (just like original design) joined to a body of premium, bookmatched solid East Indian rosewood.
The slope shoulder body size, or "S" (for "special" as the more elongated body was later referred to), was considered to be one of the best sounding Martins by C. F. Martin III, Chris's grandfather and mentor.
But Chris Martin has added his own special tonal features to the CEO-6, including Modified Hybrid A-frame top bracing developed under his direction. It, too, is renowned for its exceptional tonal capabilities, with a big, yet highly articulate voice.
Above all, the CEO-6 is a player's guitar with our unique Performing Artist neck profile for faster and easier playing in all positions. It also has wider, more comfortable string spacing on the 1930 style belly bridge. Bone nut and bridge pins, and a Tusq™ compensated long saddle add resonance and sustain. Played fully acoustic or plugged into its Fishman F1 Aura™ on-board electronics, the CEO-6 delivers all the classic Martin tone, subtlety – and volume – you want.
This is an especially beautiful guitar, available in a highly polished lacquer natural finish as standard or in a spectacular "tear drop" sunburst finish at no extra charge. The top is elegantly bound in vintage grained ivoroid and has a faux tortoise beveled and polished pickguard. Fingerboard and bridge are select black ebony. Gold Grover tuners with large buttons complete the perfect aesthetic mix.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency and Consulate Will Work Together to Assist Mexican Workers in Understanding Employment Rights
EL PASO -The El Paso Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Consulate General of Mexico in El Paso. The agreement establishes an ongoing partnership between the agency and the consulate which will provide information to Mexican citizens working in the United States about their rights under federal laws that protect workers in this country from discrimination, regardless of documentation status. This will include educational sessions, Spanish-language informational materials, and training to staff about the EEOC and the laws it enforces.
"The U.S. civil rights statutes give the same protection to Mexican citizens working in the United States as they do to U.S. citizens," said Jeffrey Zelmanow, acting director of the EEOC's El Paso Office. "This Memorandum of Understanding will help ensure that information about the law is communicated to this vulnerable community."
Additionally, the EEOC will partner with the consulate to provide information and training to areas of Texas and New Mexico where migrant farm workers and other Mexican citizens live and work. The EEOC's El Paso Office covers a geographical jurisdiction that includes west Texas and the southern counties of New Mexico.
Eliminating discriminatory policies affecting vulnerable workers who may be unaware of their rights under equal employment laws or reluctant or unable to exercise them, are one of six national priorities identified by the SEP. These policies can include disparate pay, job segregation, harassment, and human trafficking.
The EEOC enforces the nation's laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available at www.eeoc.gov.

On General Welfare
by Jayce on Jan.11, 2011, under Uncategorized
James Madison (one of the most Federally Oriented founding fathers) had this to say about the General Welfare clause.
If congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands, they may appoint teachers in every state, county, and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads; in short, everything, from the highest object of state regulation down to the most minute objects of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress….Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of limited Government established by the people of America. [Letter to Edmund Pendleton, January 21, 1792]
Amazing what he lists as obvious stretches of federal control.
Furious Paintball and Desert Edge
by Jayce on Mar.04, 2010, under Paintball
So while I haven't talked much about it in a while, things have really been ramping up with my paintball team (DesertEdge). With recent wins, we've had some great exposure, and just picked up a new sponsor, Furious who will be providing our new barrels to match up on our amazing Planet Eclipse Ego's. Here's the press release:
Team Desert Edge Signs Sponsorship Agreement with Furious
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – March 1, 2010 – Team Desert Edge, one of the most recognized and accomplished competitive woodsball teams in the sport, has inked a sponsorship deal with Furious Painball LLC, the maker of the most advanced paintball barrels made.
Tim Saunders, Co-Captain of Team Desert Edge points out, "Every player is looking for the most accurate and consistent barrel available. Desert Edge has found just that. The Lotus Barrel by Furious, is the world's most advanced barrel design." Tim continues, "The combination of the Planet Eclipse markers and the new Furious barrels is a perfect mesh of reliability and unmatched precision."
Desert Edge Team Captain, Dan Saunders adds, "The quality of the new Lotus Barrel is helping our team perform better. The honing and porting are so perfect, our shots are more consistent, air is more efficient, and when a ball breaks, the next shot cleans the barrel perfectly! That keeps our shots right on target." Dan continues, "In competitive woods paintball, the importance of accurate shots and a self-cleaning barrel is crucial. It's a benefit almost unheard of, that we now have."
"This partnership is the perfect fit." Dan says. "Furious is a relatively small, but growing operation, and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of the growth of such a great company. We look forward to exposing other players to such quality and reliable equipment."
Dan continues, "We are honored to join the Furious family with winning teams like Vicious, San Francisco Explicit and Rockstar. We look forward to continuing the winning habits in the woodsball tournament scene."
"Matthew, at Furious is excited to work with Desert Edge, and is genuinely interested in Paintball as a whole." Says Dan. "Matthew is currently working with the UWL (Ultimate Woodsball League) in organizing a tournament series in Malaysia. Dan adds, "Matthew has strong ties with the paintball community, both in the U.S. and Malaysia. This may be our chance to reach the Paintball community on a more global level."
Furious Paintball's Matthew Nekvapil comments, "Furious Paintball sees an opportunity in the Scenario market. We have always wanted to get in there and work with a great scenario team, which we have found with Team Desert Edge."
Matthew continues, "We are excited about the fact that they are enthusiastic to work with us. They have been around for some time, their results speak for themselves. At Furious, we pride ourselves on our customer service. The teams we work with is a testament to this. We feel that Desert Edge is the right fit with Furious."
Furious Paintball specializes in custom and precision manufacturing of paintball equipment. They are most recognized by their beautifully handcrafted barrels and their ultra long lasting paintball batteries. The founder, an enthusiastic paintball player demands only the best and most reliable equipment and as a result of that, Furious Paintball came into being.
The partnership of Desert Edge and Furious Paintball will surly bring one of the most exciting seasons we have seen in competitive woodsball.
Upgrading the Media Server
by Jayce on Apr.26, 2009, under Geeky
This weekend I took the time to upgrade my home server to Ubuntu's Jaunty release, I'm happy to say things went really well overall. The only problem I had was related to the way I share my media with the Mac devices in my house. While samba works ok for a lot of stuff, and NFS can be nice (but a PITA to set up right), Macs really like using AFP to share with each other.
This is really noticable when you want to use your server to handle the time machine backups. To get things working before I use the instructions here (http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/) to get things working. This worked great, and even better when you remember to read everything and actually compile the netatalk yourself, instead of using the prepackaged one. Why? because you do want the cracklib/ssl support, so you can use encrypted passwords. Ubuntu/Debian won't include that.
Rebuilding this time, I had two extra problems, and it looks like now they have a note on that page mentioning the first. I couldnt' ever get a connection to work after the upgrade, with no useful information in the logs. Just that my session started, and ended. It turns out in each share there was a .AppleDB directory, that had to be wiped, and rebuilt (by simply restarting the service) before they would accept connections.
The second problem I had was that even though I'd installed cracklib2, in jaunty the deps hadn't included the PAM module for it. So I could build against cracklib, but couldn't have it talk to pam. One quick apt-get and I was running again.
Focusing on the Job
by Jayce on Mar.11, 2009, under Politics
Ok, this has been a long time coming. People have heard me say something along these lines on irc, IM, in person, etc. But now I'm putting it up on the tubes.
- An elected official is chosen to fill a specific role
- While elected, they are an employee of the people they represent
- Campaigning for an elected position is a demanding job in itself
- By accepting an elected position, you will give an oath to your constituents to fulfill that job
It shall be illegal for an official, currently serving in an elected position, to campaign for an alternate elected position. To legally campaign for any elected position, you may not be a public official in any standing except for the same position you are campaigning for (re-election). (continue reading…)
Why I Prep
by Jayce on Nov.18, 2008, under Home
This is a response to Ekim's question of Why We Prep over on UtahPreppers.com.
Why am I what my in-laws call "A fanatic"? Actually, I see it as the more normal station in life. I grew up in a family of humble means. My mom brought with her a family legacy from pioneer times, and depression era struggle. She had grown up in a family that knew how hard life in a depression was. My dad was the consummate woodsman, nothing could keep him out of the wilderness, or from figuring out how to do anything himself. With this combination, my siblings and I were brought up "the old fashioned" way. We had clothes that our mom had made, we ate food that was part of the rotation of our storage, we fixed things that broke, we grew and raised quite a bit of our food.
I meet people nowadays that can only see these activities as quaint, something not done anymore. And can you fault them? Who really does that at all? My family is far from fully realizing all of the things my parents managed to have us do. Why would we after all, I make a much higher salary than my parents did, we have a world of products at hand that were barely dreamed of just those few years ago.
And yet for the last several years I've felt the need to somehow bring my life back into line with many of the values my parents gave me by their example. And never has that need been so apparent as it has in the last couple of years.
Food storage has been a prime example of what I've needed in my life. Several times my wife and I have striven to hold some food reserves in our home for whatever the need may be. Several times we've had to rely on that food, which always seemed to be just enough to get us through whatever tight spot we were in. Layoffs to "tough times" seemed to always happen, bringing our reserves back to nil, but thankfully keeping us from getting into any serious trouble. Looking forward, with the tough economy, it's nice to know that I have some food planned out that will sustain my family in any times of need, as well as enough to provide a buffer around food inflation, given a 16.3% annualized inlation cost this year alone (and a one-month amount that hit 72% on some items. Layoffs are my worst experience in needing to use this reserve, but what about any kind of disaster situation? I have family members that comment that nobody in the USA will *ever* need any kind of long term food reserve, that it's unecessary in our world today. Yet people like this cannot see the disasters that have happened for the warnings they were. My faith has long taught of the importance in a food reserve, and I fully believe in the divinity of that council.
But simply having some cans of food is not all that is necessary. Knowledge is the most important thing. With food, what good is a sack of wheat without knowing all of the options it provides for feeding your family? You must be aware *ahead* of time how to use any food, tools, gadgets or whatever you have put in place.
I am glad that I am at least familiar with the things I think my family might need in the worst of cases, to the best. From some sci-fi end of the world situation, to just being strapped for cash because of a medical emergency. And while I take comfort in what I know, I am smart enough to realize that I have only started, and there is a world of information that I must learn to apply. As my parents taught me, I must teach my kids, by given them a lifestyle that is sustainable, and teachable. At worst, my kids become adults that are well rounded individuals. At truly worst, they are alive, and able to take care of themselves.
Sure, I'm odd, but people think that about me even if they don't know I'm a "Prepper" (not, not a preppie 🙂 ). Yes, I can be as fanatical about a bullet caliber as I can about a programming language. I may discuss gardening tips vs SQL tips. I like to be who I am, and I try to have that person be ready for *whatever* may come.
Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst.
Oh, and check out Utah Preppers for upcoming information on how you to can begin to get ready for anything.

seq on osx
by Jayce on Nov.04, 2008, under Geeky
I was trying to mirror down a set of zip's (CD3WD a pretty amazing resource) and I didnt' want to just mirror, because of other data. So I was trying to do a simple loop, but was thinking too Perlish and trying to sprintf somehow the numerical formatting (files are cd3wd401 to 444, so needed the 0). Perlhoser corrected my attempt, by pointing me to the seq command, with the -w flag, which pads the width to the largest amount, with leading zeros, perfect.
Until I tried to run it on my mac, which had the drive I wanted it on, instead of a linux box. Seq wasn't installed, and I couldnt' find it with macports. However I did find via google that the 'coreutils' port has a 'gseq' tool. Drop in replacement for my script.
Finished Spider
by Jayce on Nov.02, 2008, under Home
A shot of how I finished up the spider for halloween:
I wound up spending my time up on the roof, basically inside the spider. I could control the legs and have the spider shake, or lurch out at people (though not far, enough to freak people out).
Next year I hope to have more time to build it better. Actually delivering the candy through one of the pipe legs would work well, having a speaker/megaphone or something would be nice, as I got rather hoarse by the end of the night from "hissing".
The webs really added to the effect, I had a nice spolight on it, with a red bulb in the 'mouth' of the spider.
Several kids, and even a few parent refused to even approach the house.
Setting up Halloween
by Jayce on Oct.31, 2008, under Home
So last night, I wanted to do something to add to the Halloween spirit. See our neighborhood goes all out. Everybody has picked some theme/location from the Harry Potter series, and has gone all out in the decoration. Maybe I'll get some pictures of it for later, but understand that it's good enough to get featured in the local papers and TV. So I quickly had to start my bit, here's a sneak preview.
Right now I'm figuring out how to make the back legs stand up more, so it appears to be walking more, and improving the fangs. I have a light that goes into the back and makes it glow some, and am putting a floodlight on the front, so the face shows up, and the eyes glow a bit.
I'll be adding the spiderwebs in today, and a 'body' wrapped up in spiderwebs. The best parts though. A) I'll be in the spiderweb, ready to freak people out. But also, that long front leg, I have fishing line on it, so I can make it reach out and grab kids as they go for the candy 🙂
It's not a good Halloween unless you can make a kid soil their costume 🙂
The only really bad part is, my wife is refusing to walk in the front door now.

Growing up my family had a huge number of books at hand to read. The ones that really got me started in reading first though were the cartoon books of course. No, we didn't have "comic books" so much as all the old softbounds of daily comics. Naturally I started with some of the easier to read ones, but as I got better I started reading some of the more 'wordy' ones, where characters would exercise their verbosity to extreme degrees.
One of the ones that constantly grabbed my attention was this POGO volume. Now anybody familiar with the Pogo world knows that it is far from an easy read. With his use of deep accents, he presented a very interesting take on the larger world, by casting it all in their little swamp.
Well, I've been browsing around trying to find some of this old content, and stumbled upon one book online, and right away, it seemed to play right into today's hot topics.

On Thursday things changed at the Cedar Key Beacon website. What you once saw for free now will be available only to those who subscribe to the Beacon.
We are asking you to pay for the information we put on the Internet because it must help pay the cost of producing the stories and photographs.
The Citizen employs about 20 people: me, Ada, Mark, Mike, Tom, Melissa, Cheri, Bev, Marcia, Becky, Gina, John (No. 1), John (The Other One), Kitty, Fred, Billy, Paula, Gary, Bill, and several mice who reside in our offices and warehouse. We also have folks in Williston who help us: Carolyn, Deb, Chris and Steve.
Like you we have the responsibilities of homes, bills, vehicles, food and buy the necessities of life in Levy County. Let's not forget my two cats who need grooming, feeding and visits with the vet — who, by the way, also lives in Levy County. And the Carnivore demands food, clothing and massive amounts of coffee. Coffee — I think the price of that stuff has gone higher than the space shuttle's last trip.
As a business we must pay for paper, ink, mileage, maintenance, utilities, documents, insurance, taxes and postage.
We have long-term personal and business investments in Levy County. We contribute to the community. I'm sure no one thinks my apple tart at the cake auction is a big commitment, but many groups count on us to help with fund-raising ads, promotions and gifts.
We keep our press busy by actively seeking out other papers to print. That brings revenue, employment and taxes to Levy County. We also seek out new equipment to bring you more in your paper — a new camera, a new scanner, new computer equipment and software.
I know some folks will be aghast at the idea of paying for something that was previously free. I've spoken to subscribers of our print edition who are aghast to learn they pay for something that is free on the web.
Bottom line, ask yourself: Are you willing to give your work away for free?
For our subscribers, everything on the website will be available to them — including newsworthy items that happen between editions. One example is the Suwannee River Fair. Once we start pay-as-you-go, the daily updates will be available only to those who subscribe.
For those who do not have a subscription, you will be able to see the advertisements, and limited items like the calendar, pet of the week and the blogs. You can also sign up for a free 30-day trial.
If you like what you see, we hope you will consider subscribing.
Right now we are running a couple of specials for folks living in Levy County:
• If you sign up online you cen get $5 off the regular $26 per year subscription. That's $21 for the print edition and online access.
• If you come into the office at 624 W. Park Ave., Chiefland, you not only get $5 off the subscription cost, we'll also give you a $5 gift card for BubbaQue's. And you get the print edition and online access.
If you only want online access, it will cost the same as a subscription.
I know this blog is long, but we have debated this move for a long time.
I hope that if you are a viewer and not a subscriber you will become one.
If you want to talk to me or anyone at the Beacon about this, call 352- 493-4796. The staff can assure you I am always willing to talk.

PHOENIX (Friday, February 3, 2012) -- Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne today announced the arrests of 12 of 26 suspected members of a large-scale marijuana and cocaine trafficking organization. Over 30,000 pounds of marijuana and a small amount of cocaine have been seized from this organization operating in Naco, AZ area since January of 2011. The street value is estimated to be between $9,000,000 and $15,000,000.
Drug Enforcement Administration, (DEA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents were assisted by the Bisbee Police Department, Sierra Vista Police Department, U.S. Border Patrol's Naco Station, U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine, and the Cochise County Sheriff's Department, in the arrests of 12 people in Naco, AZ on January 30, 2012, January 31, 2012, and February 1, 2012.
"I want to thank the dedicated law enforcement personnel from all the state, local and federal agencies that worked cooperatively to make these arrests," Horne said. "Obviously, it is crucial that law enforcement work together to combat the ongoing scourge of poisonous drugs crossing into Arizona. These operations breed violence in both Arizona and Mexico, and my office will continue to work vigorously to bring these drug trafficking organizations to justice."
This criminal enterprise has been active for more than fifteen years smuggling large amounts of marijuana and cocaine into the United States through the greater Naco, Arizona area. The organization was utilizing backpackers, drive thru vehicles, and a variety of other smuggling methods multiple times per week. Once in the United States, the drugs were being stored at various Naco, Bisbee, and Tucson area stash houses. Then, the organization would smuggle large amounts of U.S. currency back into Mexico.
On January 31 and February 1, 2012, simultaneous search and arrest warrants were executed on suspected members of the drug trafficking organization and their stash houses.
The 26-suspected members were charged under a complaint and not indicted yet on charges ranging from Illegally Conducting an Enterprise; Conspiracy; Transportation of Marijuana for Sale; Transportation of Cocaine for Sale; Money Laundering; and Use of a Wire Communication or Electronic Communication in a Drug Related Transaction or to Facilitate the Violation of any Felony Provision.
The investigation was led by DEA and HSI, with assistance from the U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine, U.S. Marshal's Service, Bisbee Police Department, Sierra Vista Police Department, Tucson Police Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the Arizona Attorney General's Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Nanette Morrow.
These charges are merely allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Complaint charges include:
- ILLEGALLY CONDUCTING AN ENTERPRISE; in violation of A.R.S. § 13-2312;
- CONSPIRACY; in violation of A.R.S. § 13-1003;
- TRANSPORT FOR SALE, IMPORT INTO THIS STATE OR OFFER TO TRANSPORT FOR SALE OR IMPORT INTO THIS STATE, SELL, TRANSFER OR OFFER TO SELL OR TRANSFER MARIJUANA IN AN AMOUNT OVER THE STATUTORY THRESHOLD, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-3405;
- TRANSPORT FOR SALE, IMPORT INTO THIS STATE OR OFFER TO TRANSPORT FOR SALE OR IMPORT INTO THIS STATE, SELL, TRANSFER OR OFFER TO SELL OR TRANSFER COCAINE IN AN AMOUNT OVER THE STATUTORY THRESHOLD, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-3408;
- MONEY LAUNDERING, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-2317;
- USE OF A WIRE COMMUNICATION OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION IN A DRUG RELATED TRANSACTION, in violation of A.R.S. § 13-3417;

"The Daily Show" aired its final episode of 2012 on December 13, just one day before a gunman shot 27 people in Newtown, Conn., renewing a national debate about America's gun control laws. Back for its second episode of the new year on Tuesday, Jon Stewart finally got the chance to tackle the media's response to the Sandy Hook massacre.
Fighting though a hoarse voice and a cold, Stewart spent most of his show on a segment called "Scapegoat Hunter," railing against some gun advocates' insistence on blaming everything but guns for gun violence. He even pulled out a plastic rifle, a la David Gregory.
"We can dance around the issue all we want ... but it is time we talk about guns," Stewart said.
"Why is it that there is no other issue with as dire public safety consequences as this that we are unable to make even the most basic steps towards putting together a complex plan of action to slow this epidemic spread?"
But Stewart did place some blame with the media -- and not just Fox News.
"There is no question that we glorify violence in our culture and it's something we have to consider," Stewart said. He imagined how some networks might have asked themselves how the Newtown school shooting would impact ratings -- "Is this massacre going to affect our new show, 'Massacre,' Friday nights at 8?" he joked.
Stewart closed out the segment with a passionate takedown of gun control supporters whom he believes are paralyzed by their fear of the government (as epitomized by Alex Jones' fiery rant to Piers Morgan).
Their paranoid fear of a possible dystopic future prevents us from addressing our actual dystopic present. We can't even begin to address 30,000 gun deaths that are actually, in reality, happening in this country every year -- because a few of us must remain vigilant against the rise of imaginary Hitler.
Watch both segments below:
