As someone who is a bit more decoratively inclined my thoughts usually tend to follow a different track, but the other night I was up late and looking for a bite to eat and stopped in at the Waffle House. While waiting for my eggs and gazing out the window my eye was caught by the ubiquitous sign and it immediately struck me what a perfect example of the concept of a monospaced font it is.
The Waffle House sign is made up of a series of perfectly regular squared with characters inside them and the characters are uniform in width and height, illustrating very clearly the relationship between a character and the space it occupies, as well as showing how characters can be made to look relatively normal while having a uniform height and width.
Of course, most monospaced fonts do not have height and width in a one-to-one ratio, but they are often have specific proportional ratios between width and height. The Waffle House sign also benefits from only having specific letters and ones which are mostly easy to fit into a uniform space. How they would have dealt with "I" or "M" and made them look good is one of the questions about the Waffle House which remain forever unanswered…
We have some interesting monospaced fonts, including Onuava and Cincinnatus which are two of our most popular. We actually have one which has the one-to-one height to width ratio, but Big Block doesn't look much like the Waffle House font.

New Hampshire ends Elon's 8-game win streak, 16-6 Back to video
Trevor Knight's 11-yard toss to Malone-Woods gave the Wildcats (7-3, 5-2) a 7-0 halftime lead that they extended to 16-0 in the third quarter. Evan Gray scored from 2 yards out to complete a 17-play, 84-yard drive and Max Pedinoff added a 31-yard field goal after one of Elon's three lost fumbles.
Elon scored with 3:16 to go on De'Sean McNair's 23-yard pass to Davis Cheek with the 2-point conversion failing. The Phoenix failed to recover an onside kick but still got the ball back with three minutes left after a fumble by Knight at the Elon 37. However, a 37-yard field-goal attempt was blocked with 52 seconds remaining.
Knight finished 32-of-42 passing for 271 yards. Cheek was 21 of 46 for 284 yards.

I would not mind a Tiger Force Roadblock, with a Renegades headsculpt.
I would not mind a Tiger Force Roadblock, with a Renegades headsculpt.
I wonder if it could be Oktober Guard Wong
I don't think they'd say "highly requested team member" unless it was going to be a character not done in ME-style before.
I don't think they'd say "previously missing from a sub-team" in reference to the 2000s TRU packs. I just think the definitive sub-teams are all in the ARAH line and people wouldn't think of them as incomplete based on the 2000s additions.
I don't understand the wording "previously missing." Is that the best way to word it if this figure is a first-modern-release member of a sub-team? Why not just say he's a member of a popular sub-team? I would also word it as "currently missing." You can't say "previously" until the figure is actually out.
I guess Night Force Lightfoot is the one that makes the most sense.
Unless its a figure from the comics that went Mia and just returned
Unless I remember his story arc incorrectly, Ripcord was MIA when he went to Cobra Island alone to rescue Candy Appel before he was attacked by Zartan, which then Zartan assumed his persona to infiltrate GI Joe. Even though the Joes didn't know it at the time he was considered MIA when they captured Zartan.
Now the question about the sub team. In Special Missions #25 Ripcord was an active member of Tiger Force with Duke, Dusty and I think Bazooka. But Ripcord was never made as a TF action figure. EVER. I'm wondering if the "previously" part of the clue is in reference to that fact.
Again though, is he a highly requested figure AND, does he need a new headsculpt if they were to remake him. Just another fanboy theory we can throw out there for a year I suppose.
Funny that you mention Ripcord and his Tiger Force affiliation because there was a prototype Tiger Force Ripcord figure shown when the team was originally being made in action figure form although the figure was never released.
As much as I would love to see Slaughters Marauders get finished the new head sculpt clue kind of leaves them out unless it is SGT Slaughter with a removable hat as one would think that head sculpts for Mutt and Footloose would still be available. Same with Tiger Force that pretty much would leave only Jinx and Blizzard unless they did a new Tunnel Rat head sculpt. Ninja Force could be either Banzai or Bushido. Battle Force 2000 only has Deejay left unaccounted for and Night Force would have to be Lightfoot as they seem to have a favorite head sculpt for Sneak Peek already. Internationally Albatroz from Sky Force has not been done and may require a new head sculpt. One thing is for sure there are lots of possibilities for this one.
The only TF figure from the 2003 set not made is Jinx... She has been requested... A new head- short hair cartoon accurate...
Last edited by firstname.lastname@example.com; 06-01-2017 at 08:54 AM.
This is now the third year in a row somebody guessed TF Jinx with a new short hair, unmasked head.
If it is TF Blizzard or NF Lightfoot, that will mean we get the regular color version for sure next year. We know the club likes reusing head sculpts. Is there anyone else we have mentioned that the new head could get used twice?
I doubt is is anybody from Oktober Guard. That isn't really a sub-team of GI Joe, is it? It's really more of a separate faction.
I wouldn't think it would be from Slaughters Marauders either. Nobody there needs a new head.
Can't be Night Force Sneak Peek either. If he was going to get a new head, they should have done it two FSSes ago.
So would Jinx be qualified as "Highly requested" being two years in a row... She is a missing team member from a set. The new head would fit the request Sunbow accurate one.
New heads could be Zartan from Ninja Farce (Please, please, Please make that just be a good example and not the actual figure), and he has been requested by some people for who knows why. My Opinion all Ninja Farce should have been buried in a big hole, all depictions of them burned, and all knowledge that they ever existed erased from history.
Blizzard they could reuse a head, but would have to retool a helmet, Lightfoot is the same way.
I agree with Sneak Peak, but I would rather them waste a head sculpt on him, then say NF Zartan!
I actually think Jinx makes the most sense with these clues right now. She is the only one missing from the 5 team set
A new head (requested Sunbow) and the alternate covered one
Requested over the years.

Large Scale Model Pays Homage to 3D Printing and Finishing.
Built as a trade show model, this entirely 3D Printed, 40% scale, five foot long tribute also serves as a valuable marketing and educational tool.
August 25, 2017
Created in SolidWorks with incredible detail by William Gould, BuildParts built this amazing model utilizing all four major 3D Printing processes in under 6 weeks. This 40% scale model took over 580 combined hours of machine time, 740 cubic inches of material and over 130 hours of post processing, finishing, painting, plating & metallizing time.
A YouTube video was created in order to document the build and educate anyone interested in learning more about 3D printing.
The Miller 91 project could not have been successful without the fantastic design work of Bill Gould of Gouldstudios.com, the generous vacuum metalizing donated by Vacucoat.com and the outstanding discounts provided by Repliforminc.com (for the nickel plating).
Once the video was published, numerous online and print publications, as well as leaders within the 3D Printing industry, raved about its unbiased and unfiltered portrayal of 3D printing and the necessary steps it takes to build complex assemblies from start to finish.
Over 8 unique articles were written about the BuildParts Miller 91 project, an office favorite was written by Brian Lohnes at Bangshift.com, a car enthusiast site that covers off-beat stories in the automotive world.
Seven months later, BuildParts' President Mike Littrell, brought it to Tucson Arizona in April 2014 entering it in the Finishing and Advanced Concepts categories at AMUG (Additive Manufacturing Users Group). Here the Miller 91 took first place in the Advanced Finishing category, as well as, third in Advanced Concepts.
The Full YouTube Video can be seen here, or on the sidebar within this article.
The "Perfect Choice" YouTube Video
This 12 minute video offers an unbiased, glimpse into 3D printing, highlighting 4 major processes and includes; File preparation, actual time lapse of the parts building, post processing, plus finishing.

I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
– Harry Burns, When Harry Met Sally.
Harley Flanagan and I met during the hardest periods of both of our lives; and that is saying a lot because he had a very crazy life, and although his took place on the Lower East Side and mine took place on the Upper East Side, there was no shortage of crazy in mine as well.
The first year we were together, we have often joked that it was like being on a life raft; me and him and his kids, all holding onto each other in a storm of personal, and in Harley's case, media drama.
One of the earliest pieces I wrote for New York Natives, when it was a young blog I was attending to night and day in the spring of 2011, was called Park Avenue Punk. It was the first of a little series I started writing about my experiences of the Hardcore and Punk scene in NYC in the mid-to- late eighties. I was an angst-ridden, too-old-looking-for-my-own-good, 13-year-old when I started floating around CBGBs and Tompkins Square Park. It was about a year before the CBGBs matinees started jumping, when every kid from CT or NJ started high tailing it to the LES. There were still the vestiges of "how it was."
ABC land still looked like the South Bronx and me and my runaway friend from the "mainline" in Philly were sleeping in squats at night, smoking weed in Tompkins Square Park after she left work at Andy's Cheapies, and hanging with Raybeez and Jimmy Gestapo at the Pyramid Club where they ran the door until the wee hours of the night. Then I would saunter back to Astor Place and take the 6 back to the tranquility of the UES.
I "sort of met" Harley at that time.
I had gone to a summer "Arts" camp in CT, and was unceremoniously kicked out for smoking weed with my friend Phillip Leeds. Phillip was a few years older than me, and lived on the Upper West Side. For some reason my parents thought it was fine that I spend the rest of the summer, in the city, hanging out with the guy I was thrown out of camp with; go figure.
He took me to see the Cro-Mags that fall. They played at L'Amour in Brooklyn and of course, hearing Age of Quarrel live for the first time… I was blown away.
By the following summer I was completely entrenched downtown. I "lived" downtown for the most part and went home to shower, sleep now and again and oh yeah… go to school; the all-girls private school I had been going to since Kindergarten.
I was wild and rebellious in many ways, but fiercely self-protective, and always smart about covering my ass. That's always been my nature, so I didn't do a lot of the stupid shit young girls did and do. It just wasn't my way. Maybe that's part of why I am who I am today, and not a casualty of my youth like so many people I know- rich and poor.
It was a "thing" I guess, that Harley would let people walk his dog Reiner. He was like, the neighborhood dog. So one day in the sweltering heat, my friend Kira, her boyfriend and I asked Harley to take his dog for a stroll and he handed him over.
That's the first time we "met."
We walked the dog west on St. Marks from A to 3rd. We got to Ray's Pizza and as I stood in the sun waiting for her boyfriend to get a slice, I fainted. Yes. I hit my head on a pole, dropped the dog's leash and fell to the ground.
I woke up about 15 minutes later in the back of the pizzeria with Kira in my face panicking. Of course the first thing out of my mouth was "Where's the DOG!" Harley had a memorable reputation by that time and I really didn't' want to be the idiot who killed his dog.
Her boyfriend had grabbed the dog. We walked him back; I handed him over and walked quickly away. I didn't' see Harley again until 2012.
Over the next 25 years I did some stuff: graduated from college, lived in Italy, went to graduate school and received my PhD, went to law school, got married (twice), received my dual citizenship with Italy, practiced law on Wall Street; and a few other things.
In 2011 I started a blog called New York Natives. And that brings me back to Park Avenue Punk. In the first piece I wrote for the series, I described some of the characters that inhabited that space in time and of course, I mentioned Harley.
I also mentioned a place called "C-Squat."
When we were kids, my friend and I found a squat that she wound up living in until it burned to the ground one December night; the day after she and I had slept there with another friend named Carey Sanders. Cary's body was pulled from the building that next day, so burnt they couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. I saw that on the news during a Christmas party at my house uptown.
In late 2011 a guy named Bill Cashman contacted me on-line. Bill said he lived in a building that was today called "C-Squat" and he was writing some sort of history of the building and saw my article. Apparently there had been a lot of conflicting stories about which building was which and where it was located exactly. He said my account matched another he had heard and wanted to talk to me.
I agreed to meet and of course, selected a very public place to do so… uptown. Bill and I met; he was lovely. We spoke for a good long while and decided I needed to go downtown with him and see the block to really be able to recall well, what I remember of the location.
A few weeks later I met him in Tompkins Square Park and we walked east together. He had some familiarity with New York Natives and suggested I reach out to Harley to do a Native Icons story about him and New York Hardcore.
I thought that would be a great idea; so I reached out. Harley wrote back and agreed to do the interview.
Harley and I met "again" on March 7, 2012 at the home of my NYN co-founder Camilla Webster. It was such a strange meeting, looking back.
I went downstairs and stood in front of this super swanky UES building between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue waiting for this person I hadn't known about or seen for a million years; random and strange. And then to see him walking toward me on 64th street—so out of place in the environment; it was slightly surreal.
He realized it was me, approached me with his arms open, gave me a hug and up we went to do the interview. By the end of the interview he told me about the memoir he had been writing and that he needed an editor. He knew my background and asked if I would look at some of it. I agreed.
By 2012 my marriage was mangled. The 14-year relationship I was in was ending. By the end of March my father became ill; and as it turns out it was the illness that precipitated his death in August of 2016. It was a very tumultuous time in my life.
Strangely, at that same time, Harley's 14-year relationship with the mother of his two sons Harley and Jonah was ending; and ending very badly.
During those crazy few months in the spring of 2012, Harley and I started working on the book together. I agreed to edit the book; how could I not. From what he sent me I could tell that this book would be critical and I knew I could help him get it to where he wanted.
I learned about his life and his current situation, and he learned about mine. We were very sympathetic to each other and we became friends and started to trust each other. Then Webster Hall happened.
On the evening of July 6th, 2012, I was having dinner with my x-husband at a French restaurant on Lexington Avenue just near Lenox Hill Hospital where we thought my father was dying. I looked down at my phone and saw that Harley called. He didn't leave a message. I tried to call him back but there was no answer.
We had dinner, and left. At around 11:00 I received a call from Bill Cashman asking me if I had seen the news; about Webster Hall, about Harley. I hadn't, so I went on-line.
I didn't believe it. I didn't believe any of it. I had been working with this guy for months by that point; I knew how much he adored his kids, I knew he didn't drink or do drugs, I knew he just received his black-belt from Renzo Gracie… I knew what the papers were saying was bullshit.
I called Camilla the next day (my birthday). She's a journalist. She was all over it. She told me I had to go downtown, to the "Tombs" and find out what happened. I was working with him; I had to find out what happened from him.
I waited until Monday and I went downtown. I am an attorney and a resourceful one. When I got downtown I learned that he had already been moved to Riker's Island. I am a New York Native, but I didn't really know where that was. But when I am on a mission, I get shit done.
I hailed a cab- put Riker's in my GPS and told the driver how to get there.
When I arrived I learned that I would have to get an attorney pass or go in with the general population, which they urged my not to do (in my Upper East Side private-girl-school skirt and blouse "uniform").
I wound up heading out to the office that issues the attorney passes and they told me I had to return the next day to get one; so I did.
In the interim I called the managing partner of the firm with which I was then affiliated and told him what I was doing. Trusting my judgment, God bless him, he gave me a letter from the firm, which allowed me to have the pass to get onto the island with my car, as a lawyer.
I drove out the next day; an experience I will never forget.
It reminded me of a neglected public school from the 70s; vintage lockers for visitors and all; and I was the only one there. I told the guards who I was and who I was there to see. I was prepared for any number of circumstances. I waited in what looked like a locker room next to the room with the guards and the metal detectors for about 10 minutes.
My mind was racing when a curt black woman officer directed me to a pudgy young white officer standing in front of a metal detector. He smiled at me earnestly, asked if I had left my cell phone and/ or any digital devices in the locker with my personal belongings. I nodded and he waved me through the detector. He handed me a pad of paper and a pencil. He continued smiling as he opened the door to a tiny interview room with a plastic chair, countertop and a bullet-proof glass window in front with air holes shot though it.
He told me I could have all the time I needed. I was nervous.
I sat, then stood, then sat, then stood and the door on the other side of the glass opened. A very worn-out and un-shaven Harley Flanagan walked in, eyes down, adjusting his prison-issue jumpsuit before looking up to see who was in front of him.
"Hi! Wait, you don't do this kind of law." He smiled nervously but there was a sense of relief in it. He started apologizing for his dirty jumpsuit, which he explained he had borrowed from some big angry Puerto Rican inmate who he was sure he would tangle with before the day was out; but I couldn't focus on the words. I was having an out-of-body surreal "how is this my life" moment while he talked.
"What are you doing here? When they told me my attorney was here, I thought it was my public defender, and thought "fuck" this must be some serious shit if he came all the way out here to see me."
I explained what had happened over the past few days and I reminded him that he was supposed to stay at my house the next week, when I had heard about Webster Hall; and wasn't going to let the papers tell me the story.
We spent about two-hours talking about Webster Hall, and everything else in between. When I left and looked at the "notes" I had taken, they were like a child's. Everything was disjointed and made no sense, like I was hearing every other word. It didn't matter. I heard what I needed to hear.
That summer ended. By fall Harley and I were on the life raft together. We were inseparable.
We supported each other completely through the chaos of our personal lives and the resolution of Webster Hall. Over the next few years, we finished the book. And then finished the book again and then finally really finished the book in 2015.
We were married on July 28, 2015. And like Harry and Sally "we had this really wonderful wedding," and there was in fact, coconut cake involved.
The craziest part of it all is that you just don't know what you don't know. Life and relationships and the possibilities that open are so unpredictable and though on the surface of things, there may seem to be no connection, there can actually be the deepest connection of one's life.
For us both, it's been worth the wait.

Talk:Don't need anatomy, it's mah style!
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
I fail to understand why this redirect, as well as the variations Don't need anatomy, it's my style! and Don't need anatomy, it's my style exist. It seems reminecent of "humorous" redirects of ED, but I am proposing that all three be marked for deletion. BlueOtter 12:52, 8 July 2011 (EDT)
- Don't need anatomy, it's mah style was an actual article and is linked from Sparkledog. The others redirected to it. When the article was merged the logical change was to redirect to furry art instead. Are they necessary? Probably not except for the first, but redirects are cheap. (Technically cheaper than deleting them.) --GreenReaper(talk) 13:01, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Finding Birds in South Portugal
Dave Gosney
2013. Completely revised edition. This book is now more complete than ever, thanks to the addition of a 9-page supplement based on a visit made in March 2009. Dave Gosney writes:
"The purpose of my 2009 trip was to visit new sites that I'd read about either in articles in Birding World or in the 'Summer Birding in the Algarve' guide by Jon Hardacre and give them 'the Gosney treatment'. Details of these 'new' sites (and more precise information on one of the 'old' sites) have been added to the original book in the form of a 9-page supplement. This includes new detailed maps for these areas so you can find them more easily than I did!"
The text and maps of the original book have remained unaltered, so this is not a complete update.
The new sites covered are:
And there are some additional notes, mostly navigational, on Castro Marim, Carcavelo, Ludo Farm, Airport Waterworks and Entradas.
Includes GPS co-ordinates to help you find the right turnings, parking spaces or viewing points. Highlights the best areas only - and summarises the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site. A map on the inside cover serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book. Supplementary site details, including photographs are available as web-pages and a free app (various platforms including iOS, Android and Blackberry) provides details of what other birders have found at these sites. 40 pages.

Forests are defined by their resiliency, their ability to regenerate after fire rips through the landscape. That image isn't just familiar to the news cycle — it's a natural cycle.
"Forests are used to burning," University of Guelph ecologist Merritt Turetsky told CTVNews.ca. "They have been burning for 5,000 years since fire came into the landscape."
But a growing body of research suggests humans are messing with that resiliency. "What we're doing as a result of human climate change is we're really whacking that resilience cycle," she said
Forests are drier than they've ever been and the forest fires that typically have allowed them to regenerate are burning more intensely than ever, instead leaving soil conditions too stressful for seedlings to grow.
"We're pushing these forests into new climate scenarios," she said.
The research supports her claims. In a new study published in the journal Ecology Letters in December, U.S. researchers looked at 1,500 forests impacted by more than 50 wildfires across the Rockies over a 30-year period beginning in 1985.
Regrowth was less common after the year 2000 than before because of warmer and drier conditions. The study, led by Camille Stevens-Rumann at Colorado State University, found there was no regrowth at about 500 of the sites, or a third of the 1,500 analyzed in the research.
Though the study looked at an American ecosystem, Turetsky says there are parallel findings and concerns for the Canadian boreal forest. Indeed, Natural Resources Canada says climate change will result in more frequent wildfires as "fire-prone conditions" increase across the country.
With drier conditions and more intense fires, the soil is often burned down to the bedrock.
"It's literally removing all signs of life," said Turetsky. "It's really hard for plants to regenerate on that kind of stressful soil."
The effects are two-fold, she says.
First, the impact on "Northern ways of living," as witnessed in the Fort McMurray fires that ravaged North Alberta in 2016, with billions of dollars in estimated damages.
Second, the long-term effects on Canada's boreal forest, defined by coniferous trees but seeing more deciduous growth with the new conditions. This could have broader impact than simply what trees Canadians see.
"If we see a shift from coniferous to deciduous in general that will mean the boreal biome will store less carbon. That carbon is going to end up in the atmosphere," she said. "What happens in our Canadian forests doesn't stay in our Canadian forests. It effects the whole climate system."

HttpApplication Leak in SharePoint 2007 - Workaround with Init() virtual method
Todd Carter has recently discovered a significant memory leak with MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 which can quickly lead to Out Of Memory conditions under load even if you are following all of the Dispose() guidance rules within your code. Note this leak does not apply to SharePoint Server 2010 / SharePoint Foundation 2010 and there is a fix coming from the Product Team soon for MOSS 2007 but until then Todd offers a coded workaround by allowing SPHttpApplication register itself only once within the Init() virtual method. To be clear, until the fix is released and installed or the coded work around is applied this leak potentially can impact every MOSS 2007 / WSS 3.0installation and not just web applications that been customized with code.
Make sure you read Todd's excellent blog post SharePoint's Sasquatch Memory Leak .

Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, the son of a powerful co-founder of Mexico's Sinaloa narco-trafficking organization, has agreed to tell the US government everything he knows about his alleged partners in crime, their operations and enablers, US authorities announced earlier this week.
The details of his cooperation are spelled out in a recent plea deal signed by Zambada Niebla, himself considered a key figure in the Sinaloa organization run by his father Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and the recently capture Joaquin Guzman Loera (aka Chapo Guzman).
The plea agreement, which can be read in its entirety at this link, rewards Zambada Niebla for his cooperation by reducing a potential life prison sentence to as little as 10 years (including time served he could be out in roughly five years) and by offering protection for his family members. However, the US government will only honor the deal if it deems Zambada Niebla is truthful and helpful in providing evidence that advances investigations and cases against the Sinaloa organization and its leadership.
The mainstream media has jumped all over this latest development in the Zambada Niebla criminal case — litigation that Narco News explored in-depth and exclusively as part of a 10-story package published some three years ago, long before US media credited a Mexican publication with breaking the same story this past January.
But the commercial media coverage of the Zambada Niebla plea pact, influenced by a need to generate online page clicks and revenue, with few exceptions, excludes critical context, and frankly, common-sense analysis.
So, in an effort to correct the distortions served up by the commercial media in their coverage of the case, Narco News will make an attempt here to put a few critical elements in focus.
Chapo's Fall
The first of these elements is the need to consider the allegations raised by Zambada Niebla (and proven as factual in the court pleadings) concerning the relationship between the US government and the Sinaloa organization leadership — in particular El Mayo and Chapo Guzman — who was captured in late February without a shot being fired as part of an "arranged" arrest, according to a former drug agent who still has deep contacts in Mexico.
"Chapo [Guzman] was protected by Mexican federal agents and military, by the Mexican government," claims retired US special agent Hector Berrellez, who previously served as DEA's chief investigator in Mexico and played a lead role in tracking down slain DEA agent Kiki Camarena's murderers. "He was making [Mexican President Enrique] Peña Nieto look bad, and so the government decided to withdraw his security detail. Chapo was told he could either surrender, or he would be killed."
In terms of context, it is important to point out that among the admissions Zambada Niebla made as part of his plea deal is that he "participated … in the paying of bribes to Mexican law enforcement to promote the Sinaloa narcotics trafficking business."
"On multiple occasions," the plea pleadings state, "(Zambada Niebla) arranged for the payment of bribes to local, state, and federal law enforcement officials in the Mexican government, for the purpose of facilitating the Sinaloa Cartel's narcotics trafficking business."
So, it doesn't take much more than common sense to conclude that Zambada Niebla provided the names of all those officials to US prosecutors as part of his cooperation, thereby exposing the entire Sinaloa payola infrastructure, including those within the Mexican government being paid off to provide protection to Chapo Guzman. And in the real world, the way it works, is that once those people are exposed to the light of day, they are compromised and can no longer conduct business as usual. They become pawns of higher powers, who now have leverage over them.
Berrellez' contention, then, that Chapo Guzman's security detail was "withdrawn," by the Mexican government, now led by PRI Party leader President Enrique Peña Nieto, doesn't sound so absurd in the context of this network of Sinaloa government operatives being exposed.
If the corrupt Mexican officials outed by Zambada Niebla worked for Peña Nieto's administration, or were part of opposition (or some combination of both, as is more likely) it is quite plausible that the US government could use that information to exert enough backroom political pressure in Mexico to shut down Chapo Guzman's protection network. That would leave the Sinaloa's chief capo with few options other than to go on the run, hiding out like a rat in a hole, or to cut the best deal he could with Peña Nieto's regime and surrender — hoping for a change in the political tide down the road.
For those who might find such a fate improbable for a powerful crime boss like Chapo Guzman, take note that a similar scenario previously played out in the 1990s with another powerful mob capo, Whitey Bulger.
Bulger, who headed Boston's Winter Hill Gang while also working as an FBI informant, had allegedly dirtied up more than a dozen FBI agents and even more local police officers at the height of his reign as a crime boss.
Bulger disappeared in 1995, eluding service of a pending arrest warrant that stemmed from an investigation by a DEA task force — which purposely excluded the FBI because the agency's corrupt involvement with Bulger had come to light by that time.
However, even the exclusion of the FBI wasn't enough, since Bulger was was still tipped off by a crooked FBI agent that he was about to be arrested. Bulger chose to flee, but was finally captured in 2011, after being on the lam for some 16 years — a fate Chapo Guzman appears to have avoided.
Peeling Back the Onion
But there is yet another layer to the intrigue to Zambada Niebla's story that the US commercial media has ignored, and that revolves around Zambada Niebla's allegations, made in court pleadings, concerning a Mexican attorney named Humberto Loya Castro —who is described in US legal documents as "a close confidante of Joaquin Guzman Loera (Chapo)."
Loya Castro's name surfaces in legal pleadings filed in US federal court in Chicago by Zambada Niebla — whose journey through the wasteland of US justice began when he was arrested by Mexican soldiers in Mexico City in March 2009 immediately after meeting with DEA agents at a hotel. He was later extradited, in February 2010, to the United States to stand trial on narco-trafficking-related charges.
Zambada Niebla claims in hislegal pleadings that "sometime prior to 2004 [actually beginning in 1998], and continuing through the time period covered in the [current] indictment [against him], the United States government entered into an agreement with Loya [Castro] and the leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel, including [El] Mayo and Chapo [Guzman]."
"Under that agreement, the Sinaloa Cartel, through Loya [Castro], was to provide information accumulated by Mayo, Chapo, and others, against rival Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations to the United States government," Zambada Niebla alleges in his court pleadings. "In return, the United States government agreed to dismiss the prosecution of the pending case against Loya [Castro], not to interfere with his drug trafficking activities and those of the Sinaloa Cartel, to not actively prosecute him, Chapo, Mayo, and the leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel, and to not apprehend them."
The stunning allegations, published first by Narco News, prompted the US government to play the national-security card in Zambada Niebla's case. US government prosecutors succeeded in getting the judge in the case to invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA).
CIPA, enacted some 30 years ago, is designed to keep a lid on the public disclosure in criminal cases of classified materials, such as those associated with CIA or other US covert operations. The rule requires that notice be given to the judge in advance of any move to introduce classified evidence in a case so that the judge can determine if it is admissible, or if another suitable substitution can be arranged that preserves the defendant's right to a fair trial.
US government pleadings filed in Zambada Niebla's case confirm that Loya Castro was a DEA cooperating source for some 10 years while also working for the Sinaloa organization. It is clear from the US government's court filings that Loya Castro's dealing with the US government also were known to the leadership of the Sinaloa organization, including Chapo Guzman and Ismael Zambada, given that Loya Castro actually met with Zambada Niebla's attorneys in Mexico City, with the knowledge of his father, Ismael, sometime in 2010.
The purpose of that meeting, in part, was to discuss the nature of Loya Castro's cooperation with the US government as part of an effort to develop a legal strategy for Zambada Niebla's US criminal case.
Narco News' law enforcement sources contend that given his importance as a foreign intelligence source, Loya Castro likely was also employed in a dual role as a CIA asset.
As a result of Zambada Niebla's plea deal — signed in April 2013 but only made public earlier this week — any chance of the full extent of the US government's complicity with the Sinaloa organization's leadership ever becoming public via a trial is now deep sixed.
And for those who doubt that there is any chance that individuals like Loya Castro, or even Chapo Guzman, might have been employed as CIA assets, while at the same time getting favorable treatment from the DEA for being informants, then a little history lesson is in order, because that is precisely the role Manuel Noriega, former military leader of Panama, played for the CIA and DEA in the 1980s, prior to falling from grace and being arrested in the wake of the US military invasion of Panama in 1989.
The Noriega Connection
In 1987, then-DEA administrator Jack Lawn penned a letter to Noriega that stated, in part: "The DEA has long welcomed our close association and we stand ready to proceed jointly against international drug traffickers whenever the opportunity arises." In early 1988, after Noriega's indictment in the US, Congress and Justice Department officials accused DEA of giving the Panamanian dictator a free pass on his narco-trafficking activities while using him to help make cases against other narco-traffickers, charges reported in the New York Times at the time.
A July 1999 appeals-court ruling in the Noriega criminal case also reveals that the CIA had an intimate relationship with the Panamanian dictator. However, the appeals-court ruling let stand the trial court's decision to conceal the nature of that relationship. CIPA also was invoked in Noriega's trial by the way — seemingly a national-security cloak that has long been used successfully to conceal reality from the American people, with little regard to accountability on the part of those invoking it…

Interview with ESA's Daniel Mesples, Spacecraft Operations Manager for Sentinel-5P, set for launch on 13 October 2017.
Editor's note: Daniel Mesples took some time from an incredibly busy schedule to talk with us about the training and preparations for 5P launch at ESA's ESOC mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
Q. What is involved in the 'Sim' campaign?
DM: On 18 July, the Sentinel-5P team at ESOC began intensive simulation training. This training will test the abilities of the team to work efficiently during all phases of the mission and to react correctly to any unexpected – or expected! – contingencies. We're especially focussing on LEOP, the launch and early orbit phase, which last three days, and in particular on the critical five-hour period following acquisition of signal – AOS.
During the simulations, the mission control team – about 40 people – is practicing working together and building their ability, which is crucial, to communicate effectively in case of any contingency.
During simulation training, the operations team try to forecast anything that could go wrong and have an emergency plan ready – with everyone knowing what he or she should do – for each option. Further, every step in the launch are tested, in a specific timeframe and sequence.
Q. Why is LEOP so important?
DM: Launch means intense vibrations and acceleration, and entering the challenging physical conditions in space, and these mean that if something is going to go wrong, it's most likely during launch, just after separation and in the critical first hours until we get power and communications stable.

LEOP is the most critical phase, since our spacecraft will be surviving on batteries until we get the solar arrays deployed – and these will only last so long. If the satellite does not initialize correctly or does not deploy the solar panels, there is a high risk of losing the entire mission.
To avoid this, the teams train together, forecasting possible problems and learning how to solve them together as one team.
Q. Why do you mention 'teams', in plural?
DM: The mission control team is actually a 'team of teams'. At the core is the flight control team – the engineers and myself who are dedicated to this mission.
For LEOP, we are supported by numerous additional functional teams from across ESOC; these include teams from flight dynamics, software, mission data systems, ground stations, the Sentinel project office at ESTEC and representatives from industry, who manufactured the satellite.
Q. How does a 'Sim' training session go?
DM: The teams use a spacecraft simulator, which is software designed to behave like the satellite. It, however, also simulates the ground stations and models how the Earth and Sun influence the satellite.
Essentially, the engineers sitting on console in the control room 'see' and interact with the simulated satellite just like they would the real one. And the simulator reacts like the real satellite; if they issue an incorrect command, or carry out the working procedure at the wrong time, the simulated satellite will let them know.
It's precisely the same idea as airline pilots who spend hours in simulators practicing take offs, landings and emergency procedures.
We also make use of simulated ground stations, to learn how to work with the only interface we have to the real satellite, which is sending commands from a ground station to the satellite and receiving data – telemetry – back from space via a ground station.
Q. Who's on the mission control team?
DM: The total team is 40 people and they are divided into two shifts, A and B, of approximately 20 people each. This allows us to have 24 hr/day operations during LEOP, which is expected to run three days.
Sentinel-5P separation: just before mission control catches a signal from space
Each of the A and B team are trained for the same scenarios. Simulations involve different teams, which includes:
- Flight control team – 3 engineers, 1 spacecraft controller and 1 operations manager
- The ground operations manager and the mission control system engineers, who check that the network connections to the ground stations and the equipment in the Main Control Room are working properly; they also liaise with the extended 'ground segment'
- The Flight Operations Director (OD) – who oversees the whole effort
- The project team, coming from the Sentinel project office at ESTEC.
There is also a separate control room with workstations for the representatives of the satellite manufacturer, a dedicated room for industry partners. Every team communicate with each other via voice loop and all communications are recorded.
Q. What is the Sim campaign schedule?
DM: We started on 18 July and we are continuing until just before launch on 13 October, with 1 or 2 simulations run every week, lasting a full day. The simulations campaign consists mostly of contingency simulations but begins and ends with a nominal simulation.
The schedule has been intense and the team have mastered every contingencies, never letting a problem turn into a crisis. I am very proud to be part of such a motivated and dedicated team and am confident that we are ready for the challenges which lie ahead.

"We know it will take time to restore proper service levels to British Columbians. We will support the government as they continue to do the right thing to make British Columbia a more affordable, equitable and healthy society for everyone, not just the one percent." — Stephanie Smith, BCGEU President.
Victoria (20 Feb. 2018) — Fixing 16 years of neglect in public services, childcare and housing will take time, but B.C. Budget 2018 signals a bold path forward on these important public issues, says the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU/NUPGE).
NDP government puts funding toward child care, housing
"We have consistently called upon government for greater investment to restore quality public services," said Stephanie Smith, BCGEU President. "Today's budget begins that renewal process and makes significant commitments to child care and housing affordability, which have positive benefits for our members and for all British Columbians."
"We support the initiatives to curb real estate speculation and enhance the supply of affordable housing for British Columbians," said Smith. "The first steps toward a universal, accessible child care system are also highly welcome. Together, these significant programs and strategies will help working British Columbians and the province's less advantaged to actively participate in and benefit from B.C.'s economy."
Investments made to restore key public services
"The commitment to fix public services that people count on is extremely important for our members and the public. Today's investments in new staffing for court services, sheriffs, legal aid, seniors care, income assistance, environmental and natural resource management, and programs for women and children affected by violence, demonstrate this public commitment," said Smith.
"We also need to make a serious effort to address recruitment and retention issues in the public sector, in part by increasing wages and benefits — issues we look forward to addressing in upcoming negotiations. In the meantime, government initiatives that make housing and child care affordable for working families also make it easier to attract and keep quality workers in the public sector."
Protecting the environment: more conservation officers to be hired
"Our environment and natural resource sector continues to need significant new investment to reverse the decades-long erosion of services. The commitment to hire 20 new conservation officer positions is positive news that will ensure higher levels of compliance and enforcement with a positive impact on our environment and the economy."
"We know it will take time to restore proper service levels to British Columbians. We will support the government as they continue to do the right thing to make British Columbia a more affordable, equitable and healthy society for everyone, not just the one per cent," concluded Smith.
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 390,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. — NUPGE

Cancer Immunology, Hematology, and Etiology Research
Research funded in the area of cancer immunology and hematology aims to characterize basic biological mechanisms underpinning antitumor immune responses, with an emphasis on immune regulation of the development and spread of tumors and approaches to improve immune targeting and destruction of cancer cells. It also includes research into the molecular bases of hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, chronic and acute myeloid leukemia, hematologic cancer stem cells, as well as studies of graft versus host (GVH) disease and the graft versus leukemia (GVL) effect.
Cancer etiology research investigates biological agents and host predisposing states that are possible etiological factors or cofactors in cancer. Biological agents are primarily viruses and bacteria but also include endogenous retroviruses, protozoans, fungi, and other multicellular pathogens involved in the initiation, promotion, or resistance of human cancers. Host predisposing states are those that initiate or promote cancer, such as obesity, diet, comorbid conditions, and aging. Studies in this area also examine the role of developmental and life stages in the susceptibility to etiological factors.
Research in this area is supported and directed by the Cancer Immunology, Hematology, and Etiology Branch (CIHEB).
Antitumor Immunity (Innate and Adaptive)
Achieving a deeper understanding of how the innate and adaptive immune systems regulate antitumor immune responses will inform future cancer immunotherapies. Key research areas include:
- Innate immune effector populations that initiate or carry out antitumor immune responses leading to tumor stasis or eradication such as macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), neutrophils, mast cells, natural killer (NK) cells, NKT cells, and T cells.
- Regulatory interactions among innate immune cell populations and adaptive immune B and T lymphocytes.
- Regulation (both positive and negative) of adaptive immune T lymphocyte responses to cancer and how these can be optimized to achieve tumor eradication or stasis. Adaptive immune T cell populations include cytolytic T cells (CTL) and helper T cells (Th) - as well as several subsets of each major category - in addition to T regulatory cells (Tregs) that control or inhibit the activities of CTL and Th populations.
B and T Lymphoid Malignancies
Understanding the molecular bases of lymphoid malignancies will elucidate novel molecular targets that these tumors rely on for their growth and survival. A major area of interest encompasses the mechanistic bases of B and T lymphocyte malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma), including:
- Aberrant B cell receptor or T cell receptor signaling
- Increased expression of anti-apoptotic pathways
- Loss of tumor suppressor pathways
- Loss of genome stability (chromosomal translocations and mutation)
- Induction of activation pathways such as the Notch pathway
Hematopoiesis and Myeloid Malignancies (Acute and Chronic)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex disease with considerable phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity: More than 100 recurring cytogenetic abnormalities have been observed in AML. Most cases of AML are characterized by acquisition of somatic mutations in hematopoietic progenitor cells. These cells have a proliferative and/or survival advantage as well as enhanced self-renewal capacity and impair hematopoietic differentiation. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a proliferative clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells that results primarily in the expansion of mature myeloid cells. However, it also includes expansion of erythroid cells and increased platelets in the peripheral blood. The scope of this research extends from understanding the basic cell biology of hematopoiesis related to leukemogenesis to understanding the molecular lesions that result in leukemogenesis.
Biological Carcinogenesis
Evidence suggests that viruses and other microbes contribute to the etiology of as much as 20 percent of human cancer. The major goal of studies supported in this area is to identify pathways by which pathogens transform human cells and to design strategies to interfere with these processes. Research on biological carcinogenesis seeks to clarify the role of DNA and RNA viruses, bacteria, schistosomes, flukes, and other infectious biological agents in carcinogenesis. Supported research on human or animal virus models include papillomaviruses, gamma herpesviruses, cytomegaloviruses, adenoviruses, hepatitis viruses, polyomaviruses, human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV), and general retrovirus studies that examine basic virus biology and/or use retroviruses to study basic cellular processes. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) research interests include hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) virus studies that examine basic molecular mechanisms, immune evasion, host inflammatory responses, or animal models that recapitulate HCC development.
HIV and AIDS-associated Malignancies
Progress in understanding and treating HIV infection and AIDS has greatly improved patient survival, but this increased survival has been coupled with the development of non-AIDS-defining cancers at higher rates than those observed among the HIV/AIDS-negative population. These cancers include anal, skin, and lung cancers, as well as hepatocellular carcinoma. Continued research is aimed at understanding the complex relationship between HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy in the emergence of non-AIDS-defining cancers.
Bacterial Carcinogenesis and the Role of the Microbiome
Increasing evidence indicates that the human microbiome, particularly GI-resident bacteria, plays an important role in the initiation and progression of cancer. Research funded in this area seeks to determine the role and mechanism of bacterial carcinogens in the colon and in other human cancers and their interactions with other etiologic agents (chemical and viral). The goal of research in this area is to develop tools and preclinical models that will identify and translate discoveries on the molecular mechanisms of biological carcinogens into targets for therapeutic and preventive intervention. Research areas include:
- The etiological role that changes in microflora community structure have on intestinal epithelial cell and mucosal immune homeostasis during carcinogenesis
- Isolation and characterization of infectious agents that may cause or promote tumorigenesis
- Identification of molecular interactions between host cells and pathogens
- Oncogenic host responses to biological agents and their secreted products and metabolites
Host Predisposing States
Host predisposing states include obesity, diet, comorbid conditions, and aging that initiate or promote cancer. A critical aspect of understanding the complex origins of cancer is to identify those factors or conditions that either accelerate or slow cancer progression. Research involving host predisposing states investigates:
- The role of developmental and life stages in the susceptibility to etiological factors
- How diet or dietary components affect carcinogenesis
- The effect of diet on microbial metabolites that are either tumor-protective or tumor-promoting
- Microbial modulation of host genes and factors that affect energy deposition in adipocytes and lean/obese phenotype
- The role of comorbidities such as aging, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as etiological factors in cancer

The Flooring Show and Tiling Show took place across three days, 17th, 18th and 19th September 2016 at The Harrogate International Centre for its 54th year. This industry leading exhibition attracts international exhibitors and visitors from a range of business types, including architects, flooring retailers, specifiers, interior designers, facility managers, manufacturers and many more.
The organisers of The Flooring and Tiling Show asked us to work as an external marketing department to manage all marketing communications, online and offline in the year leading up to the exhibitions. The aim of the campaign was to increase footfall at the shows and increase exhibitor numbers.
We wanted to create a fresh approach to The Show by creating contemporary marketing material that was effective in our online and offline campaigns, while giving The Show a more modern feel.
Establishing links to the seven industry leading magazines, we developed monthly print adverts and PR campaigns with editorial pieces being written when suitable. To create a synergy between the offline and online marketing, we developed digital email marketing campaigns which mirrored the messages being sent out in all printed communications. All digital marketing campaigns were linked through to The Flooring Show and Tiling Show website that was maintained and updated on a daily basis, to ensure the most relevant and useful information was available.
To support the exhibition we produced all onsite marketing material, including Show Previews, Show Guides and signage, among many other elements. To further assist at the exhibition, we had a team of people to provide onsite marketing support and to populate all social media accounts with regular and timely updates.
Using an integrated marketing approach with multiple marketing platforms, The Flooring Show and Tiling Show saw an increase in visitor numbers by 9.6%, with 3,119 industry professionals passing through the doors, the highest number of visitors the Show had seen in many years along with a huge 219 show exhibitors.
With this year being such a success, we've already begun work on the 2017 campaign for The Show, with the aim of increasing the visitor and exhibitor numbers even further.

Kimchi has been making an impact on the food scene -- the spicy fermented cabbage condiment/side dish has branched out beyond Korean food, making its way into a variety of dishes. You can easily find fusion restaurants in all the big cities serving kimchi on practically anything, and there are even food trucks in Los Angeles and New York offering a Mexican-Korean fusion -- even T.G.I. Friday's is in on the trend. And you don't have to go to a special Asian market to get a jar of kimchi anymore -- some brands are now national after being lauded in newspapers and magazines.
Check out our slideshow below to see some interesting recipes, from our friends around the web, that have practically become standard, like kimchi on burgers, hot dogs and even pizza. Plus, if you want to try making your own kimchi, see David Chang make his recipe from scratch in a video below.

Control the fate of the lovable Lemmings with your fingertips.
Need a hand keeping your clumsy new Lemmings alive? Check out our Top Tips for a better chance of survival.
Think you know Lemmings? Think again… the green haired critters are back in Lemmings Touch for PlayStation Vita with a whole new set of puzzles and ways to play… not to mention many, many more ways to meet their doom.
Whether you're a long-time Lemmings fan or are experiencing the mayhem for the first time, Lemmings Touch is the most accessible version yet.
Although anyone can pick up and play, we've got some hints and tips to help you guide the cute – but dim-witted – Lemmings through the fiendishly designed levels.
For each level, best to take a moment to look around, find the exit and start planning how you're going to get your little friends there safely – before they're released and the chaos begins. There's often more than one route to the exit, so be sure to pick the one that matches the skills available to your Lemmings.
There is a list of various objectives for you to complete, so remember to keep checking back to make sure you've achieved them before you move on. Checking off objectives will earn you coins that can be spent on crazy costumes for your Lemmings in the "Look and Style" menu. Perfect for strutting your stuff on the catwalk… then falling off the end of it into a fiery pit of torment.
Every Lemming is precious, and saving as many as possible, as fast as you can, will earn you up to three stars at the end of each level. The more stars you collect, the more levels and challenges will open up throughout the game, so try to collect all three before moving on to the next level.
Lemmings Touch features the all-new Skill Cloud – an intuitive, touchscreen controlled replacement for the traditional row of jobs at the bottom of the screen that you might be used to from previous Lemmings games. Tap a Lemming and the Skill Cloud will appear, allowing you to assign a job to that Lemming; better still, you can drag the cloud to any position on the screen so it doesn't get in the way of those split-second life or death decisions.
There's a new Lemming in town – and he doesn't play well with others. For the first time in a Lemmings game, this is one mischievous critter that you don't want to save; if he reaches the exit, he'll ruin the party for everyone and it's game over.
You'll be able to spot him, with his fiery red smock and horned hairstyle – and when you do, try to use him to your advantage; you can give him a job just like any other Lemming, without having to feel guilty if he's squished, crushed or blown up.
Sometimes you'll need pixel-perfect precision to assign a job to a certain Lemming or to make sure they use their skills at exactly the right time – and that's no problem with the PS Vita touchscreen.
Use your fingers to pinch and zoom closer to the action and pick out the right Lemming for the job; getting your timing or position wrong could mean the difference between bridging a gap… or plummeting to an early death, so be prepared to get up close and personal with your clumsy friends.
With Lemmings not being the brightest creatures around, they can't do it all on their own. But never fear, help is at hand; some levels contain certain objects that you'll notice pulsing, to indicate that you can interact with them to help save the calamitous little blighters.
Give the item a press and you could move a platform, angle a cannon, position a trampoline or lots of other things that could save each Lemming's bacon when things get hectic.
Think you're ready to take on Lemmings Touch? It's available to download right now from PlayStation Store.

Debuting this week is the Becker GPS unit, the Traffic Assist 100. It has been dubbed 'Crocodile', presumably due to its appearance and water resistant nature. Designed for motorcycles, it has maps for 42 countries pre-loaded in 2 GB of embedded flash memory.
Two 3-D viewing options are incorporated, Terrain View and City View. From the press release:
The Terrain View display opens up to the horizon in brilliant image quality and is especially helpful when driving over hilly terrain or on winding roads. For better orientation in cities, buildings are displayed as 3-D models. This makes it easier to follow the directions for the next turn. Orientation is also enhanced by more than 1,000 photorealistic 3-D images of European landmarks, including the Reichstag Building in Berlin.
Common features are integrated into this cruising-friendly GPS unit, including a touchscreen and a route planner. Unlike many other units though, this one speaks in 28 languages. How European.

On my 185 I notice after a rain and I fly somewhere when parked on the ramp there is water leaking from the weep hole on the belly near the middle of the back seat. The carpet does not seem to be wet but its leaking. The problem was worse when I first bought it but tried to seal as much as I could on the cabin top with a recommended product, Dow Corning 732. I found it hard to apply cleanly and trying to remove the excess was difficult. I was thinking of going over the top again with plain 100% white exterior silicone in hopes that will work a bit better.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Clean campus, happy campus
By Noah Allison–
One particularly warm but windy night this past week I took a walk to the SAC. While making my way towards the ramp two older students preceded me, not bothering to step around the sacred Cardinal bird in their efforts up the ramp. This was their first notch against them in my book.
Noticing their almost identical outfits of plaid shirts, short shorts and Sperry's, I inadvertently followed these men up the ramp a few feet further when they managed to lose even more of my respect. The one on the right took the last swig from his water bottle and tossed it on the green grass to the side of the ramp. Clearly these students have neither love nor respect for the campus they call home.
It happened so fast yet I processed it like a horrible accident that kept running over and over in my mind. Without cause or care he just left his non-biodegradable piece of plastic in the grass, not considering how long it may be there or the fact that somebody else would have to clean up after his intentional littering.
I'm not sitting here attacking this guy saying his one bottle will be what poisons our children and destroys their world, I'm simply saying it's his mindset that I fear so many people in this world have that will leave lasting implications. There was a trash can at the top of the ramp, there are a set of trashcans at the bottom of the ramp, there are trashcans and recycling bins in and around the SAC that he ultimately ended up inside of, and yet the only logical thing he could think to do when finishing his drink was throw the bottle on the ground.
It is that sort of laziness and lack of care that plagues this world. It is a simple matter of holding on to it and waiting to toss it in its intended resting place, not the grass. The campus is literally littered with pieces of paper, plastic bottles, and cigarette butts; our campus would be healthier and better as a whole if its students were more conscious of their actions and how they affect the campus.
My reasoning for writing this is more therapeutic than anything, for I am overcome with guilt from my lack of action. I should have said something, should have made him just pick it up and carry it a few hundred feet further. Or I could have simply hopped over the side railing and picked the bottle up myself, but I didn't. I stood by and did nothing, as that bottle lay on its cold, green, resting ground. I, like so many other people on this planet, did nothing, and that above all else is what needs to stop.
It's just too easy to do something about trash on the ground for it to continue to be the makeup of our campus exterior. It's too easy to hold onto that bottle and throw it away to just toss it on the ground, it's too easy to go and pick up that jerk's bottle than to leave it sitting on the ground, and it's too easy to just make the adult decision of what is best for the environment and best for our campus to continue to ignore it. C'mon man! We're in college…

Paula Patton Returns to Social Media After More Than 2 Years: 'Please Forgive My Long Absence'
She's back!
After a more than two-year hiatus, Paula Patton has officially returned to social media with an apologetic message to fans.
"Please forgive my long absence! Feeling so grateful for every second of this life," Patton tweeted on Tuesday. "If any of you are still out there, thank you & I'm sorry!"
RELATED: Robin Thicke Says He's Embarrassed by Attempts to Get Paula Patton Back
Luckily, Patton's followers didn't seem to mind her extended break, and replied to her tweet with loving messages.
"We all love ya! Great to see you back in Action," celebrity chef G. Garvin tweeted back.
"No need to apologize!" tweeted one understanding fan. "Sometimes it's best to take out time for self away from social media."
Patton also shared a video on Instagram wishing fans a (belated) "happy Thanksgiving," while showing off her new blonde hair.
"My family has been on my case all day," she wrote at the end of a caption similar to her apology tweet. "I hope you all have had a great Thanksgiving!!!"

Now that she's back into the swing of social media, Patton has been sharing a bunch of Instagram snapshots. The photo rollout includes Patton celebrating her 41st birthday with friends on Monday (while rocking a stylish new birthday hat) and a to-do list from her mom.

It seems we here at C-VILLE have kind of a thing about reporting while using alternate modes of transportation. Just as this week's cover story stems from a walk through as-yet-incomplete Hollymead Town Center, some of our favorite stories from the archives grew from walks and bike rides. Our reporters have slogged through parks and pounded city pavement and pedaled along the Rivanna Trail, notebooks stuffed in backpacks or clutched in hand along with a water bottle.
Last fall, Chiara Canzi put on her helmet to test Charlottesville's bike-friendliness and found it has some significant weak spots. ("I planned to turn onto Jefferson Park Avenue when the pickup cut me off. In a matter of seconds I was surrounded by what looked like a million cars honking. I could have grabbed my heart by how fast it was beating," she wrote.)
John Borgmeyer took a different kind of carless journey in 2003 when he wrote about Lynn Wiber, a local woman who was employed and well-educated and also homeless. On a freezing evening, she and John left Barnes & Noble, where she had a job, and walked south along Emmet Street, talking about her situation. For John, it was a way to understand her life. For Lynn Wiber, it was a way to keep warm.
Paging through the archives
"As Wiber passes Harris Teeter, she mentions that before she found regular shelter she would often spend the night sitting in the 24-hour grocery's café, reading one of the more than 400 books she has borrowed from Barnes & Noble since she began her employment there in August 2000. Checking out books is an employee prerequisite Wiber says has proved invaluable in the fight against boredom that comes with homelessness.
"'I can just get into a book and ship my mind off to somewhere else,' she says…
"A black Ford Explorer pulls alongside her. The tinted window drops halfway, and a pink-cheeked face yells out something unintelligible. The truck roars up Arlington Boulevard.
"'The best and the brightest,' Wiber says. She laughs with a tinge of bitterness. 'They've been given everything, and they think they're entitled to it.'"

I interrupted my projects and went straight to the Candy: JVS on How we see it & HR on the Prima Luna. Pretty darn good stuff.
To Sir JVS, Live Acoustic can't be replicated electronically, ( I've been trying for decades ). I've never heard any System that could thrillingly electrocute our Nervous System like a live Bow on a Cello String. Closest has been with HD Sennheisers but it isn't anything like sitting close to a String Quartet.
To HR: kinda wish that Prima Guy would've sent you some of his 'Super' Glass but then it would've become a 'Rolling' review instead of a Standard Trim Level review. I can feel your work pulling me into Prima Ownership. "That's what I want" is what I keep mumbling.
It's a kinda curious thing to notice how the Digital version reads differently than the Print version, I seem to get deeper understandings from Print.

Due to the way this is implemented on NetSuite web services, Invoice Payment is somewhat non-intuitive when performing through the SmartClient. Please follow these steps to perform a Invoice Payment:
1. Create a "Customer Payment" template
2. Select the columns you wish to set on the Customer Payment record.
3. Select Apply List as the sub-list
4. Add the "Doc" and "Amount" columns to the sub-list template. You may add any other column you wish to set.
5. Find the Internal ID of the Invoice you wish to apply the payment to. The Internal ID appears on the address bar when you are viewing the Invoice on NetSuite, in the format of ?id=<internal-id>&….
In this case, Internal ID is 236.
6. On the SmartClient, set the Doc field to the Internal ID value:
7. Click update.
