Navy Yard shooting a time for gun control, not just prayer

Miss America pageant: Always a few steps behind

Rep. Anthony Weiner admits tweeting lewd photo, and more
Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner was a nearly ubiquitous media presence last week, making the rounds of TV news shows to protest his innocence: No, the New York congressman said repeatedly, he did not tweet a sexually suggestive photo of himself from the waist down to a college student. Perhaps his Twitter account had been hacked.

George Zimmerman presumed innocent, Trayvon Martin was not
Every time CNN's courtroom camera lingered on the sad face of George Zimmerman today, I felt slightly sick.

Trayvon Martin's brother, mother testify about more than words
I don't get the feeling that Trayvon Martin's big brother, Jahvaris Fulton, was called to the witness stand Friday morning in Sanford, Fla., because the prosecution wanted the jury to hear his opinion about whose voice was screaming for help on the night Martin was shot in the heart by George Zimmerman.

Trayvon Martin case: Are police helping George Zimmerman defense?
Watching the George Zimmerman murder trial on TV is like being caught in a match of emotional ping pong as you try to anticipate what the jury is thinking: If the detective says Zimmerman never changed his story, does that make his claim of self-defense more believable?

Verizon and Sprint have reportedly launched a new TV ad each, in which a major celebrity shows-off the power of Siri – Apple's humble personal assistant that premiered with the iPhone 4S.
In Verizon's TV advertisement, that celebrity is the man himself: Samuel L. Jackson. Fresh from the set of The Avengers, Jackson is depicted in the ad interacting with Siri, asking where he can find organic mushrooms for his risotto and enjoying a bit of banter towards the end of the advertisement, when he tells Siri she can have the night off. There's no official version of the ad yet, but one Apple fan managed to capture the ad as it aired on TV:
After hearing about Jackson's role in the latest Siri ad, MacStories was quick to point out that another Siri-focused TV advertisement had recently aired, this one featuring a Sprint logo towards the end and starring New Girl's Zooey Deschanel ("it's Jess!"). Deschanel isn't quite as productive as Jackson in this ad: she instead wanders around a messy apartment, asking Siri to remind her to clean it ("tomorrow") and opting instead to dance, at the end of the ad. This video too is only currently available in an unofficial version:
Though we initially thought each ad was produced by its corresponding carrier, one MacRumors forum comment accurately notes that the presence of branding later in the video, rather than earlier, suggests that Apple might have produced the videos instead, with each carrier opting-in after production had ceased.
Hopefully, we'll be able to check out official versions of both TV ads soon. In the meantime, take a look at the versions above, and be sure to post your thoughts in the comments. Which do you prefer – Jackson's or Deschanel's? Vote now!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A local man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison Thursday for producing child pornography with a young girl. This lengthy sentence resulted from an investigation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Terry R. Ingerson, 45, of Polo, Mo., was sentenced Sept. 2 in the Western District of Missouri to 15 years in prison without parole. Ingerson pleaded guilty in April to one count of using a child to produce child pornography, one count of receiving child pornography over the Internet, and two counts of possessing child pornography.
The investigation began when ICE HSI agents in New Jersey learned that Ingerson had purchased a subscription to "Pedo Heaven," a child pornography website that provided access to images and videos of child pornography in exchange for a monthly fee of $79.99.
ICE HSI agents seized a Dell computer and a CD-ROM from Ingerson's home and conducted a forensic examination. The computer contained 1,574 images of child pornography and 396 videos of child pornography. The CD-ROM contained 21 images of child pornography and 25 videos of child pornography.
Among the child pornography found on Ingerson's computer were 11 images and five movie files of child pornography that depicted a child victim whom Ingerson covertly videotaped while she was nude and in partial states of undress.
The case was prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips, Western District of Missouri.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested more than 12,800 individuals.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

Cooking and Baking
blind baking pie crust
I've had a problem the last few times I've tried to blind bake a pie crust. While it's in the oven, the sides of the crust start to fall down. Is there a trick to keep this from happening? Would it help if I froze the crust first before I put it in the oven?

Detecting Fraud
Monitor your credit card and bank statements. Review them for transactions you did not initiate.
For even faster detection of problems, sign up for online access to your bank and credit card accounts and check them often.
Keep track of credit card and bank statement cycles. If a statement doesn't arrive when it should, it could mean a thief has changed the mailing address on your account.
Inspect your credit report. It includes your Social Security Number, past and present employers, and all of your debts, even those that are closed. Besides helping you detect account takeover by thieves, credit report monitoring can alert you to new accounts that have been opened in your name.
Order your Social Security Earnings and Benefits Statement once a year. Look for employers you have never worked for – someone may be using your identity to get a job.
Monitor the explanations of benefits sent by your health insurer. Request an annual summary of the benefits paid in your name. Be on the lookout for care you did not receive – even if there is no money owed for it.
Pay attention if you are contacted by debt collectors via phone or mail. If you are being contacted about a debt that is not yours, someone may have stolen your identity.
Consider using a service that provides real-time monitoring of Internet chat rooms where identities are bought and sold. Our

Following a 13-week record-low streak, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages — the most popular choice among home buyers — started moving back up this week, according to Freddie Mac's weekly mortgage market survey. The average 30-year mortgage had dropped or matched record lows in 13 of the last 14 weeks. But this week, mixed economic news prompted mortgage rates to rise higher.
30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 3.55 percent, up from last week's all-time record average of 3.49 percent. A year ago at this time, 30-year rates averaged 4.39 percent.
15-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 2.83 percent, also edging up from its all-time low posted last week of 2.8 percent. Last year at this time, 15-year rates averaged 3.54 percent.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa (AP) - A jury has been chosen in the trial of a former Iowa jail guard accused of killing of his pregnant wife.
Jury selection wrapped up Tuesday in Henry County during the second day of trial for 23-year-old Seth Techel, of Agency. The jury has eight men and eight women, which includes four alternate jurors.
The Des Moines Register reports opening arguments are set to begin Wednesday morning.
Seth Techel is charged with first-degree murder and non-consensual termination of a human pregnancy in the May 2012 death of Lisa Techel and their unborn child.
Techel's trial was moved from Ottumwa to Mount Pleasant because of publicity surrounding the first trial, which ended in mistrial in March.

Snooki Shows Off Toned Bod in Revealing Leather Leotard (PHOTO)
Snooki's changed up her style a lot over the past year, and has recently been really into long skirts, but that didn't stop the guidette from getting Jersey Shore sexy on the set of her latest photoshoot for Supre Tans.
We already had a sneak peek of one of her hot looks for the shoot, where she wore a super-long skirt but showed some skin in a pretty black bandeau top. Now Snooks has given us another look at what's to come from her latest project.
Snooki Instagrammed this hot pic of her sitting on a throne (naturally) looking very tanned and very toned in a revealing leather leotard with silver studs and a corset-like bodice. She topped the look off with a pair of beautiful silver earrings and bracelets, looking like some kind of royal, fabulous dominatrix.
Snooki looks amazing. Her legs are super toned and muscular, a sign of all the hard work she's been putting in at the gym. We can't wait to see how these photoshoot pics turn out!
What do you think of Snooki's latest sexy look? Is it too hot, or a little too much? Sound off below!

RELATIONSHIPS between rats have shed light on the last human migrations to islands such as Tahiti and Samoa.
Tracking early settlers by studying the genes of modern Polynesians is difficult, because recent migrations have made their genes similar. But the same does not apply to rats that reached islands on settlers' boats. After analysing genetic differences between rats on various Polynesian islands, Elizabeth Matisoo-Smith at the University of Auckland concludes that there were multiple influxes of settlers to most islands (

A tuk-tuk, or a motor tricycle, with a passenger is driven by an advertisement of Thai Military Bank in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, Oct. 26, 2012. (AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)
BANGKOK: A Canadian and an Australian tourist have been found dead in a Bangkok hotel after a suspected drug overdose, Thai tourist police said Friday.
A maid found the bodies of the two men, who are believed to be aged 31 and 27-years-old respectively, slumped in a room in the Park Plaza, a hotel in one of main the tourist drags of the Thai capital late Thursday.
Their bodies were found alongside an unknown white powder and drug taking paraphernalia.
"At the initial autopsy the forensic doctor said they died from a drug overdose," the tourist policeman, who wanted to remain anonymous told AFP, adding tests will be carried out on the powder.
Thailand's reputation as a tourist paradise has been tarnished recently after the deaths of several holidaymakers including two Canadian sisters on the resort island of Phi Phi in a suspected poisoning case in June.
In August, a British and a French tourist died in a nightclub blaze on Phuket island in another blow to Thailand's image -- already tarnished over recent years by deadly political unrest, devastating floods, and concerns about violent crimes against foreigners.

While this worked surprisingly well, I feel like there is a flavor boost missing and I can't quite decide what it may be. I added finely sliced red onion, but it still needs something. This is...

Crowd Pleaser!
I love this recipe. I added green onion, and thinely sliced green cabbage to the noodles at the end. I also did not have any maple syrup, so I used sugar instead, and it worked great. I didn't have soba noodles, so I just used regular angel hair pasta. I also used the dressing as a marinade for beef, which I simply sauteed and served with the cold noodles. Delicious! This dish will be in my regular dinner rotation! Makes great lunch leftovers too.

At last week's Internet2 annual meeting, I sat down with 50 or so other research university CIOs to discuss how 100 gigabit networking will affect us.
If Internet2's projections are correct, one hundred US universities will be interconnected at 100 Gbps by the end of next year. If past trends are any indication, that sort of adoption rate will mean rapid advances and changes in the way things get done.
Out of that hundred, only three are in Ohio right now.
If we are going to catch and ride the 100 gig wave, universities in Ohio will have to consider multiple dimensions – not only 100 gigabit capacity, but also software defined networking (SDN) and protected research channels (DMX). These three components will be critical to getting full value out of any ultra fast research network.
With ultra-high network capacity, shared services like storage, computing capacity, and visualization become much more practical, but only if participants can agree on some level of standardization.
Right now, every network vendor has their own emerging version of SDN. To encourage collaboration, the Internet2 community should establish a preferred, open SDN standard for vendors and institutions to follow. This would not preclude the use of other, proprietary communication protocols, but it would make it easier for institutions who wish to collaborate to do so.
The conversation ended with recognition that CIOs need to engage their faculty and research leadership in planning this advanced network strategy. Ohio University's faculty researchers have the knowledge and the track record to play a lead role in these discussions. We can show the way.

Mary Beltrán
Associate Professor
Associate Professor of Radio-Television-Film, Mary Beltrán specializes in critical and cultural studies-driven scholarship at the intersections of television and film studies, critical race studies, and gender studies. She is also a Faculty Affiliate of the Centers for Women's and Gender Studies and Mexican American Studies.
Inspired by her prior careers as a journalist and social worker and her own bicultural upbringing, in her research and teaching, Dr. Beltrán explores the construction of race, class, and gender in U.S. television, film, and celebrity culture and particularly how media texts and producers articulate and challenge group identities and social hierarchies through popular media. Within this work, she has specialized in particular on Latina and Latino and mixed race representation and participation in Hollywood film and American narrative television. She writes and teaches on Latina/o media studies, mixed race and media culture, "post-racial" media trends, feminist media studies, celebrity studies, U.S. television and film history, and media activism and DIY media movements.
Mary has published and presented on a wide variety of topics, including the evolution of Latina/o film and television production and stardom since the 1920s, the implications of the rising visibility of mixed-race actors and characters, strategies on the part of television networks to appeal to more diverse audiences, the new "semi-Latina" stars of contemporary tween television, and the rise of Latina/o web television. She is the author of Latina/o Stars in U.S. Eyes: The Making and Meanings of Film and TV Stardom (University of Illinois Press, 2009) and co-editor, with Camilla Fojas, of Mixed Race Hollywood (NYU Press, 2008). Her recent and forthcoming publications include the essays "Fast and Bilingual: The Fast Franchise's Lucrative Embodiment of U.S. Borderlands," "SNL's 'Fauxbama' Debate: Facing Off Over Millennial Mixed(-Racial) Impersonation," and "Una Nueva Frontera for Latinos in Web Television," co-authored with RTF graduate student Vittoria Rodriguez. She also is working on a planned new book, Over the Rainbow: Beyond Post-Racial Fantasy in Millennial Film and Television. She has served on the editorial boards of such journals as Feminist Media Studies, Critical Mixed Race Studies, Celebrity Studies, Cinema Journal, and Communication Monographs, and serves as a Board Member of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies.
In the RTF Department, Mary serves as the Faculty Advisor for Flow, the department's online journal of television and media studies, and has served as Co-Faculty Advisor for the last two iterations of the Flow Conference. Since 2005 she also has served as one of the Faculty Advisors for The Velvet Light Trap, the film and media studies journal collectively edited by graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

text: As hilarious as it is honest, as heartbreaking as it is empowering, Boys is an anthology unlike any you've read, a collection of essays showcasing the voices, stories, and lives of gay, queer, and trans* men from around the world. Through these true stories, readers are offered a glimpse into intimate moments rarely shared: the moment one boy accidentally came out as gay on MySpace; the time one was kidnapped by his mother who wished to "pray the gay away;" the first time a boy went to a leather bar after transitioning to male, before he became a famous porn artist and performer. The confessions in Boys will stay with you, as will the point they make: there isn't one type of boy in the world, but lots of boys, each with their own story, if only we'd listen.

Please don't reply to bad posts (and I expect as we get closer and closer to MoP there will be more of these) just report it. Gives us less cleanup that way, thanks.
I've gone through the FAQ and the 3 new threads for 5.0.4/MoP and haven't found a comparison of the new Undead racial for current 85 version Touch of The Grave and the level 90 version Touch of the Grave compared to existing racials.
I was curious how it stacks up to the Orc and Troll racials factoring in the Orc nerf.
I realize that there is a lot of new information to digest, but the information is in the threads.
The Mists of Pandaria: All Specs thread had the comparison done several times, although things have changed since then to modify the results a little, the general rankings should still be true. Plus, I do not know about the other spec posts, but I know that the MM Guide explicitly has a section on the racials.
You can also test out the affects of the racials yourself in tools like SimC and FD.

Professional Certificate in Social Development
21st - 25th September 2015, London, UK
Definitions of development have broadened beyond widely-understood economic conceptions, to consider issues of social development and happiness, codified in the Human Development Index and other measures of social development. This is now a key area of receiving aid and FDI, and of development strategies generally.
Complex social systems, including conceptions of citizenship, the role of civil society and the development of participation, require management and leadership with clarity and cohesion, encompassing comprehension and application of multisectoral linkages, sector planning and development strategies.
Examine the myriad issues which determine prospects for social development and develop comprehensive and effective plans for the delivery of often intangible, sometimes measurable improvements to citizens' lives. Participants will work with leading specialists to analyse this broad range of issues and develop their abilities in the theory, policy and practice of improving social development.
This is a specialist training course leading to a Level 5 Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Certificate in Management and Leadership. Upon completion of this week-long course and subsequent written tasks, the successful candidate will be awarded a Level 5 CMI certificate in Management & Leadership showing the CMI units achieved. In addition, the successful candidate will receive a transcript from the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies certifying the specialisation in Social Development.

After sitting on my dads workshop bench for a while he had a go at it and couldn't work out how to fix it so it was passed on to me as broken.
So I decided to hang the current circuit board and lets make this thing arduino compatible and while I am at it lets make it wireless :-)
In preparation for this I had to work out which wires were for the motors and which were for the internal batteries.
I am working with one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/64399-REG/Bescor_MP101_MP_101_Motorized_Pan_Head.html
Step 1: Parts required
Things you'll need;
Soldering iron
Two Teensy development boards :- http://pjrc.com/teensy/index.html
An H-Bridge to control the motors :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SN754410NE-x1-SN754410-754410-Motor-driver-Stepper-Arduino-ATMEGA-PIC-/251042473622?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones_Communication_Radio_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a734c2696
433 mhz transmitter and receiver :- http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KDQ6-NEW-1PCS-433MHZ-RF-TRANSMITTER-AND-RECEIVER-LINK-KIT-FOR-ARDUINO-SCA-1710-/360670375378?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item53f9a12dd2
On Off switch
Step 2: Solder The H-Bridge
You can attach the power directly from the batteries to this allowing for you to power the teensy from the H-Bridge as well as powering the motors.
At this point you can add a switch to turn it on and off when you want.
I assigned the pins as follows
Pin 1, 8, 9, 16 power from the mount.
2,7 pan or tilt pwm respectively
15, 10 pan or tilt pwm respectively
3,6 motor 1
11, 14 motor 2
4, 5, 13, 12 ground
It also seems to exist a similar version here, but I hadn't the opportunity to try it.
It will be very interesting interface it with Arduino! Thanks!

Sun Prairie Man Sentenced to 18 Months for Distributing Cocaine
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Timothy Lee, 28, Sun Prairie, Wis., was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge William Conley to 18 months in prison for distributing cocaine in Madison. Lee pleaded guilty on April 11, 2011, to distributing 55.9 grams of cocaine on September 23, 2010.
At sentencing, Judge Conley noted that Lee engaged in six separate sales of cocaine to law enforcement agents during the time span from September 2010 to December 2010, with the sales totaling at least 100 grams but less than 200 grams of cocaine. Judge Conley expressed concern regarding Lee's circulation of a picture of Lee posing with an AK-47 assault rifle, which could be interpreted as a signal of violence relating to the lifestyle of drug dealing. As a result, the Court imposed the high-end of the advisory guidelines range of 12 to 18 months imprisonment.
The charges against Lee were the result of an investigation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Dane County Narcotics and Gang Task Force. The prosecution of this case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel J. Graber.

ACCORDING to some accounts, a lot of men are bringing up children unaware that they are not the biological father. The figure of 10 per cent or more is often bandied about for the proportion of children involved, but how well does it stand up?
To find out, anthropologist Kermyt Anderson of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, dug through studies going back to 1949 that reported what fraction of purported fathers could be ruled out by blood, genetic or antigen tests.
Of those, 31 looked at the results of paternity tests conducted to resolve legal disputes in which the man suspected the woman of cheating: 30 per cent of these men could not be the fathers. Applying this figure to the population as a whole depends on knowing what proportion of men have doubts. That's a sensitive thing to admit, Anderson points out.
Another group of 22 studies involved genetic ...

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kenya Moore Reveals Her Favorite Real Housewives Booty
Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta will go down in history as the site of the infamous battle of the booties between Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks. But with all the drama between the two DVD divas, nobody ever bothered asking them about their favorite booties. Until now.
Leave it to Perez Hilton to cover all the bases! The social butterfly recently went one-on-one with the "Gone With the Wind Fabulous" Kenya and got the scoop on her top shelf. We were surprised to see Kenya turn to the West Coast for her fave booty, compliments of Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
"I think curves should be celebrated as long as you're physically fit and toned. So I'd have to say the first person that comes to mind is Lisa Vanderpump because I like the fact that she's a woman of a certain age but she's got a great body," Kenya explained, adding, "She's got some curves. And she's fit. And she's sexy so I would probably have to say Lisa."
Indeed, at 52 years old, Lisa's got one of the hottest bikini bods we've seen on the beach!
Which is your favorite RH booty?

Urvashi Sobha committed suicide on 16th of September 1980
The story of Shobha (1961-1980) is a saga of astounding professional success overshadowed by overwhelming personal insecurity and anguish. Shobha, whose real name was Mahalakshmi, was the daughter of actress Prema. Prema had acted in few Malayalam movies in the 60s, but could never make it to the top league. Her own failures had made Prema determined to make her daughter Mahalakshmi succeed where she had failed. Mahalakshmi went to work early; she acted as a child artiste in a few Malayalam and Tamil movies. Noteworthy among her Tamil movies as a child artiste was Chandrababu's 'thattungaL thirakkappadum' (1966/Vishwabharathi) wherein Baby Mahalakshmi's performance as the child Lakshmi won widespread praise, perhaps an initial indication of the greater laurels to come. And in Malayalam, Mahalakshmi, renamed as Baby Shobha stole the show in 'udyOgasta' (1967/Geetanjali) amidst the presence of veterans like Satyan, Prem Nazeer, Madhu, Sharada and Sukumari. She went on to act in few more Malayalam movies as a child artiste, before making her debut in an adult role in Balachandra Menon's 'utradaraatri' (1978/Nangaserry Films).

Regarding Brian Switek's review of Mark Derr's book How the Dog Became the Dog (30 June, p 46), I have an alternative hypothesis for the co-evolution of dogs and humans. Without the dog, and its excellent sense of smell, acting as a sentinel, humans could not have evolved the anatomy needed for language, as this development left the human olfactory system diminished.

Deborah discovered and became instantly captivated with flameworking in 2006. The immediacy of melting glass in a flame into a bead or creature or imagining of her mind, the way glass flows, how everything else in life fades away when you are before the torch are what made flameworking the art of her heart and soul.
Heart and soul may also aptly describe her creative style; Angels, hearts, birds, totem animals and healing runes are some of what emerges from the flame before Deborah. Creation needs to have a meaning for her, a story to tell, a heart to touch, and if at all possible a connection between the object created and the person it will eventually find its way to.
Deborah has studied with Loren Stump, Kim Fields, Kate Fowle-Meleny, Jennifer Geldard, Trey Cornette, Tink Martin, Mary Lockwood and Andrea Guarino.
"I think I will always feel that my glass journey is just beginning, I am looking forward to a lifetime of discovering its depth and beauty." Deb
