We're not going to lie; when we picked the Koenigsegg Agera as our 2010 supercar of the year , we were pretty proud of ourselves. Not only did we buck the trend of crowning the mythical title of world's best exotic to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport , we actually gave it to a car that has 300-less horsepower than the current fastest machine on the planet. We figured that even if the Veyron Super Sport can wallop the Agera on the drag strip, the latter's combination of appeal, speed, and cheaper price tag was more than what we could get from the Veyron Super Sport. Turns out, we haven't seen the very best and most powerful version of the Agera yet. That is, until this year's Geneva Motor Show. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the Veyron SS-slayer, the Koenigsegg Agera R.
Now, if by any chance you've seen this car before in our pages, it's because we actually ran a story of the Agera R first generating buzz over the webs because the Oman Royal Family got their hands on one even before it made its debut in Geneva. But now that the 2011 Geneva Motor Show is only days away from opening, Koenigsegg is gearing up to give the Agera R the world debut it deserves. And when the world gets to see the Agera R, you can be pretty sure that it's going to be locked and loaded to throw-down with the mighty Veyron SS.
Updated 03/18/2011: Koenigsegg has revealed the full specifications on the Agera R, and although we like what we see, we expected a little better. The supercar will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 124 mph in 7.5 seconds. Top Speed has been reported at 260 mph! Hit the jump to see more specs on the Agera R.
Updated 04/10/11: Seeing as the Koenigsegg Agera R is a hometown supercar in Sweden, it shouldn't have come as a surprise to find out that the first journalists given the keys to the Agera R for a test drive were the folks from Teknikensvarld.se, particularly one Erik Gustafsson who was the first journalist to ever test drive the car. Check out the video we've added to see how Gustafsson tries to tame the Agera R on the arctic roads of Sweden. Should be a good watch, folks.
UPDATE 09/04/11: Koenigsegg recently took some serious bragging rights for the Agera R when it claimed to have set a few high-speed records, further cementing the supercar's status as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's biggest rival. According to the Swedish automaker, the Agera R managed to clock 0-186 mph in just 14.53 seconds, 0-200 mph in just 17.68 seconds, 200-0 mph in 7.28 seconds, and 186-0 mph in just 14.53 seconds. The records have yet to be verified, but if they prove to be legitimate, it's only a matter of time before Koenigsegg slams Bugatti's record. Check out videos of the Agera R's record attempts after the jump.
Details on the Koenigsegg Agera R after the jump.
Exterior and Interior
Besides being visually arresting in standard Agera form, the R version turns it up a notch. The display model shown at Geneva is something of a cross between the Lotus that James Bond drove in the Swiss Alps and Speed Racer's car. In order to increase the performance aspect of the Agera, Koenigsegg developed a dynamic rear wing. Many supercars use wings that lift automatically at high speeds, but the systems they use to do so are often cumbersome. The wing on the Agera R uses the pressure of the wind created at high speeds to force the wing downward and create wind resistance. The system is not only lighter than conventional hydraulics, but also smarter since it is able to compensate for headwind or tailwinds instantly. The design is thought out so well that even the pylons holding the wing up are useful. They are shaped in a way that helps to extract air from the engine bay towards the rear of the car.
The Agera R may be the epitome of performance, but style and luxury are not lost either. Standard equipment includes a detachable and storable hardtop roof, power windows, satnav system, MP3/USB compatibility, climate control, tire pressure monitoring system, and even a complete car cover. One of the coolest tech pieces about the new Agera is that you have to access a special "Top Speed" mode in the infotainment system to unlock its true potential. I still think the separate top speed key in the Bugatti is cooler, but this is a close second. If the owner so chooses, a set of fitted luggage, special leather interior options, and a myriad of exterior colors are available. The Geneva car was fitted with a distinctive and distracting Ski box on the roof. It's sort of an oxymoron to take your Agera R to the ski resort, but the car is even available with winter tires.
Engine and Performance
The Agera R will use an in-house developed 5.0-liter V8 with twin turbo's. It can make 1,115hp at 6,900 rpm and scream all the way up to 7,250 rpm. Torque output is in the range of 885 lb-ft. of torque at 4,100rpm. The specs for the car really start to get exciting when you see how fast it can accelerate and to what end. It makes the sprint from 0-60 in a mind blowing 2.9 seconds. In the time a normal high-performance car has gone through the quarter-mile, the Koenigsegg has gone from 0-124mph in 12.7 seconds.
One of the most surprising aspects of this car is that it is capable of running on multiple fuel types. E85 and E100 Bio-fuels provide the most horsepower for the car, even though the fuel system must deliver more of this gas to the engine than it does for regular petrol. For countries that do not offer the Bio-fuels, the Agera R is able to run on normal 95 octane fuels, but power output is cut by about 100hp and 100 lb-ft of torque.
The chassis and suspension setup on the Agera R are equally as important as any other aspect and the owner of the company personally helped developed this new system. Koenigsegg calls it the Triplex rear suspension; this means that a shock absorber and spring are connected to each rear wheel. Each wheel is capable of having an effect on the other and the extra spring works in series with the normal suspension and dampers that allow the car to be raised or lowered as needed.
Koenigsegg has developed such a formidable speed machine that even the wheels and tires had to be developed specifically for this application. Koenigsegg was able to design the turbine style wheels in house. Each one truly acts as an air-turbine helping to cool the brakes and increase down force for the entire car. The tires were developed by Michelin at the Ladoux test center in France. Because the car needed to be a Veyron killer, Michelin helped make sure the tire would stand up to the task and has created the highest speed rated tire in the world capable of reaching 261mph.
No exact figures on the car have been released, but be sure this is as special as it gets. Your total bill could add to somewhere in the 1.6 million dollar range, making this car one of the most expensive in the world. I suppose if you're in this market than you want something that screams exclusivity and the Agera R can deliver that.
The Koenigsegg Agera R only has one car in sight: the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport . Ever since the Veyron Super Sport set the record for fastest production car on the planet after setting an average top speed of 267 mph, we have been waiting for a car that can rightfully be called the Veyron Super Sport's "kryptonite". Well, folks, that car has finally arrived.
The top-of-the-line Bugatti Veyron Super Sport shares the same 8.0-liter, 16-cylinder engine, but with larger turbos and bigger intercoolers to push power to 1,183bhp, a jump of 196bhp. Torque increases from 921lb ft to 1106lb ft. This all means that it can reach a reported 267mph and that is faster than an Agera R.
Considering that you will most likely never go as fast as these cars, let alone with another car next to you to race; it is sort of irrelevant at this speed. When you cross a football field in less than a second your mind is more focused on survival instead of beating the other super rich guy in the car next to you. Nonetheless, the Bugatti seems to have the Agera R beat on paper even in the 0-60mph category which it reaches in 2.5 seconds.

CLOWN OF THE JUNGLE (Disney, 1946)
a cartoon starring Donald Duck!
CLOWN OF THE JUNGLE title card:
Credits, including layout by Yale Gracey and B/G art by Thelma Witner:
You can watch it on YouTube:
I couldn't figure out how to do the first, opening pan B/G because of the moving multiplane layers in the foreground.
But I managed to re-create the second pan B/G, and the nearly-infinite length of this pan B/G easily qualifies it as a contender for the longest piece I've ever digitally re-created...
Here's a closer look at the left side of the pan...
And the right side (birds are obviously cel overlays):
and more B/G art from this film:
I love the subtle and somewhat abstract design of this mid-tree leafy view:
Notice the brilliant angled horizon here:
I was able to digitally remove Donald and the Aracuan bird, but that shadow refused to budge!
This pan is a right-to-left shot, and as you can see the crazy Aracuan bird appears in very first frame (on the right)...
Here's a close-up view from another shot/segment:
and that's THE END!

Joe Francis has escaped jail time in his tax trial after striking a plea deal with Los Angeles prosecutors. Read more on the "Girls Gone Wild" creator's plea deal below.
Joe Francis was arrested in 2007 and charged with two counts of filing fraudulent tax returns,which amounted to $20 million! Francis faced up to 10 years in jail if convicted.
But Francis won't have to take the stand as planned next month after reaching a deal with authorities.
The deal calls for Francis to plead guilty to the charges, pay a $250,000 fine and receive credit for the 301 days in jail that he already served.
This has to be a huge relief for Joe Francis who also is involved in a lawsuit against three former employees he claims tried to embezzle cash from him.
On top of all those legal problems, Joe Francis is under investigation by the LA Country Sheriff's Department for the altercation with Brody Jenner's girlfriend Jayde Nicole. Jayde claims Joe Francis hit her at a nightclub last month.
Joe Francis released the following statement:
"I am grateful that Judge Otero accepted my plea today. I'm very pleased, if the judge accepts our agreement with the government, all felony tax charges will be dismissed and I will not spend any more time in jail. I look forward to the complete resolution of this matter on November 6. Demand for the Girls Gone Wild brand has grown tremendously in the past 12 years and we have a lot of work to do to accommodate that demand. I'm happy to finally be able to redirect my attention to the business at hand, which is to provide quality entertainment for our millions of fans around the world. I want to thank Brad Brian, Greg Weingart, Susan Nash and the lawyers at Munger, Tolles & Olson LLC in Los Angeles, and David Houston in Reno. The one thing I've learned about myself during this process is that I can be a difficult client, but they are a fantastic group of brilliant legal minds who recognized the truth when they saw it and had the passion to care about what happened to me.

Impress him: Suzuki Swift Sport
First impressions go a long way. Especially when we're talking about a romantic Valentine's Day dinner and knocking the socks of what might potentially be your life partner. With that in mind we picked the 20 cars - 10 for her, and 10 for him - most likely to help you clinch a second date.
Although much more modest in its power offering than the bevy of +200bhp hot hatches, the Swift Sport still boasts plenty of firepower (134bhp) to leave a good impression on the lads. At the same time it makes for a perfectly practical everyday urban run-around when he isn't there to egg you on to 'show him what it's got'.

Score one for the anti-Bush protesters
Do you remember this story? Back in the day, 2007, President Bush came to Albuquerque. Protesters for peace had to wave their signs out of view of the motorcade, while supporters were allowed front-row seats. Scenarios like this cropped up time and again around the country during Bush's presidency. FOX reported on it in 2003.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department and others for shuffling the anti-Bush and anti-war demonstrators off to the side. The defendants asked that the suit be thrown out. But today, a District Court judge ruled that it should move forward, and it will likely go before a jury.

Five weeks ago, I launched a research project called, "The Great Social Customer Service Race"–a real-life investigation into the social customer service savviness some of the biggest brands in the world.
These companies receive thousands of Tweets per day – in some cases hundreds of thousands. It's impossible to expect they could reply to everyone. So I wanted to know which tweets would receive a response and what role the technology played. It's up to leadership to guide their social listening software to know what, when, and how to traffic social media mentions.
About the Race
Four Software Advice employees used their personal Twitter accounts to send customer service Tweets to 14 leading consumer brands in seven industries every weekday for a month. Two out of the four weeks, we used the @brandname and two we just mentioned the brand without the @.
We created questions that we felt the brands should have responded to based on social customer service best practices. They fell into one of five buckets: urgent, I need help right this second; positive ("thank you!"); negative; a question from their FAQ page; and technical, or needs more than one interaction to solve.
From this experiment, here are four lessons I learned about social CRM from the The Great Social Customer Service Race.
Listen for @Brandname, Brandname and #Brandname
We were surprised by the overwhelming lack of response to tweets that did not include the brand's Twitter handle and @ symbol. Less than 8 percent of responses came during the weeks when an @ was not used, or three of the 40 total responses.
The failure of brands to respond to tweets like these leaves a bad impression on me, the customer, as well as on anyone who follows me and sees I didn't get a response. Not all mentions deserve a response – you don't necessarily want to insert yourself into someone else's conversation. But these situations do offer an opportunity to surprise and delight your customer.
To mitigate the risk of missing these interactions program your listening software to listen for mentions without the @, with the @, and #brandname. You should listen for all three.
Implement Prioritization Rules
There was many instances during the race where we sent a Tweet with strong emotional feelings, purchase intent or risk of changing brands. This includes messages with words such as "help," "mad," and so on. All of these messages should have received a reply, but few actually did. This could be an indication of a failure to use prioritization rules.
Many social CRM systems can be set to move certain messages to the front of the response line if they include important keyword identifiers, social clout or customer purchase history. This helps your agents find and address the most important tweets first.
Process Twitter Requests Like a Service Ticket
One way your company can streamline social customer service is by integrating listening software with help desk ticketing programs, or using a program with ticketing functionality. This will enable your team to process social media requests just like interactions over the phone, email or chat. This includes marking a ticket as open, resolved or waiting a response.
At one point during the race, we received two responses to the same tweet, one day apart. The first response seemed robotic, and the second tweet didn't address the question. If this question were treated as a help ticket, the first responder would have marked it resolved to prevent the duplicate response.
Track Interactions by Customer
Three race participants and I tweeted the same brand as many as seven times during the four-week experiment. One of my goals was to see if any of the brands would identify us as active socializers and improve their response time. Not one of the 14 brands did.
To track interactions by customer, ensure your software records every Twitter interaction with your brand in the corresponding customer's profile. This allows the next responding agent to quickly see if that customer is a brand advocate or detractor. Also, program socially-integrated ticketing software to increase response priority if a user emerges as an active socializer.
The Technology Should Fit the Purpose
Overall, the brands only responded to a surprising 14 percent of total tweets sent. But this wasn't a failure in technology as much as strategy. Many companies have long viewed social media as a marketing medium instead of (or in addition to) a customer service avenue. Now is the time leadership should take a hard look at their social media mission, then improve the technology.

A Cobb County Grand Jury has indicted a man and his girlfriend in the murder of his grandfather. Authorities say 78-year-old Edward Smith was found dead in his truck back in May. Casey Collins, 30, and Sarah Cook, 23, were indicted Thursday on charges of malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and concealing the death of another person. The indictment alleges the pair strangled Smith with a belt and stabbed him inside his truck. Collins and Cook have been held at the Cobb County Jail without bond since they were arrested on May 7. They could face life sentences if they are convicted.

Could closed core prove a more robust model than open core?By Andy Oram
December 1, 2011
The closed core model requires businesses to determine where their unique value lies and to be generous in offering the public extra code that supports their infrastructure but does not drive revenue. This model may prove more robust and lasting than open core, which attracts companies occupying minor positions in their industries.

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a 3-year-old boy is dead in Yuma and his grandmother is in custody.
Yuma police say officers responded to a report of a child with a gunshot wound about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.
They say the boy was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say it appears the boy came into possession of his grandmother's handgun.
They say 35-year-old Rachel Spry was later arrested and booked into the Yuma County Detention Center.
Police say she's being held on suspicion of manslaughter, misconduct involving weapons, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
They say the case remains under investigation.
Police didn't know Wednesday night if Spry has an attorney yet.

Music is not subjective. If you think it is, please stop reading this blog you smug fart sniffing douche. That being said, feel free to aid me in talking colossal amounts of shit about these horrible bands.
This blog has a few segments:
"______" IS AWESOME - Videos or songs from terrible bands.
ACTUALLY AWESOME - Videos or songs that are actually worth a listen.
AWESOME NEWS - Can be shitty or awesome. I'll post it if it seems noteworthy.
AWESOME REVIEWS - Uhhh Reviews (fucking duh).
I write this shit. I don't make the music or take the pictures.
Museo Slab font designed by exljbris.
Wow it's been a minute. I was relocating and working on some other things, but I saw this on reddit.com and knew I had to share it.
Honestly, I had no intention of posting anything about BrokeNCYDE. I mean seriously, too easy … too easy. It's almost as low as making fun of Blood on The Dance Floor. Anyway, to make it short, this is BrokeNCYDE live. I know what you're thinking, "I already know BrokeNCYDE sucks" yes they do, but to what extent, you might be surprised. At least bands like That's Outrageous! pretend to play their instruments over the background track. Enjoy!
I knew this band was going downhill, I just didn't know they were headed off a fucking cliff. In the age of "dance anthems", where MALE singers proclaim their love for letting it all go on the floor, All Time Low has just set foot at the top of shit mountain. Not only is this song absolutely atrocious, but the video is a complete and unfunny rip-off of Blink-182's "All The Small Things".

8 Stocks Rising on Monster Volume
Elizabeth Arden
Elizabeth Arden (RDEN) is a beauty products company with a range of portfolio of fragrance, skin care and cosmetics brands. This stock is trading up 2.4% at $35.82 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 230,000Average Volume: 191,816 Volume % Change: 106% >>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out From a technical perspective, RDEN is gapping higher today on above average volume. This move is quickly pushing RDEN within range of triggering a big near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once RDEN takes out its 50-day moving average of $36.70, and some near-term overhead resistance at $36.75 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades once RDEN can manage to sustain a move and close above those levels on volume that's near or well above 191,816 shares. If we get that action soon, then look for RDEN to make a run at its February high of $39.96.

George Ricumstrict, a former All-MAC linebacker and assistant coach at Central Michigan, was introduced as the Chippewas' defensive line coach on January 24, 2013.
Coach Ricumstrict Mic'd Up
Ricumstrict's coaching career spans two decades, all at the collegiate level, beginning in 1991 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. Most recently, Ricumstrict served as an assistant at Eastern Illinois, coaching defensive ends. One year earlier, he spent a season at Central Missouri, where he directed special teams and the linebackers.
Prior to working at Central Missouri, Ricumstrict spent six years in the Big Ten with Indiana (2005-10) as the co-special teams coordinator and defensive ends and linebackers coach.
In 2000, Ricumstrict returned to CMU to coach linebackers and special teams under head coach Mike DeBord and remained on staff through 2003. In 2004, he coached the linebackers at Miami (Ohio).
Prior to his stint at CMU, Ricumstrict served in a variety of coaching roles at a number of stops including Northwood (1993-94), Wayne State (1995), Michigan State (1996), Army (1997), and Missouri Southern (1998-99).
Ricumstrict was a four-year letterman from 1985-88 at CMU, contributing to 24 wins during his career. In his senior year, he was named the team's Most Valuable Player and received Second Team All-MAC recognition as an inside linebacker. That season, he was honored as MAC Defensive Player of the Week on two occasions, following a 10-tackle performance versus Montana State and after recording 10 tackles and two interceptions, returning one 71 yards for a touchdown, against Toledo. He finished the season with 121 total tackles, including 71 solos and 11 for loss, and had three interceptions and one fumble recovery.
Ricumstrict was also the recipient of the 1988 Kurt Dobronski Award, an honor presented annually to the Central Michigan senior who demonstrates great effort, intensity and appreciation for the football program.
For his CMU career, the Detroit native and Northwestern High School grad compiled 266 total tackles (126 solos), 18 stops for a loss, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions.
Ricumstrict earned both his bachelor's degree (1990) and master's degree (1992) from Central Michigan.
Ricumstrict and his wife, Sandy, have two sons, Obie (14) and Anton (10).

The Moon (Tarot card)
The Moon (XVIII) is the eighteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.
- Two large, foreboding pillars are shown. Some see them as tombstones, others relate them to Karma.
- A wolf and a domesticated dog howl at the moon.
- A crayfish appears in the water.
- The Moon is "shedding the moisture of fertilizing dew in great drops".WAITE These are numbered 18 in the Rider-Waite deck and are all Yodh-shaped. On this basis, some associate this card with impregnation.
Rider-Waite specific[edit]
- Very clearly, the figure in the moon is frowning, reflecting displeasure.
- The waxing moon has 16 chief rays and 16 secondary rays.
- The beasts are a dog and a wolf, which represent "the fears of the natural mind".WAITE
- The crayfish crawls from the water onto the land.
- There is a pathway into the distant, dark unknown.
According to Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the card represents life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit. The dog and wolf are the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that place of exit, when there is only reflected light to guide it. This reference is a key to another form of symbolism. The intellectual light is a mere reflection and beyond it is the unknown mystery which it cannot reveal. It illuminates our animal nature, types of which are represented below—the dog, the wolf, and that which comes up out of the deeps, the nameless and hideous tendency which is lower even than the savage beast. It strives to attain manifestation, symbolized by crawling from the abyss of water to the land, but as a rule it sinks back whence it came. The face of the mind directs a calm gaze upon the unrest below, and the dew of thought falls. The message is: "Peace, be still," and it may be that there shall come a calm upon the animal nature, while the abyss beneath shall cease from giving up form.
Some frequent keywords include:
- Lack of clarity — Tension — Doubt — Fantasy
- Deception — Psychological conflict — Obscured vision
- Confusion — Illusion — Fear — Imagination — Worry
- Romanticism — Anxiety — Apprehension — Unrealistic ideas
Other meanings[edit]
This card has to do with sleep patterns. This can mean both dreaming and nightmares. If one gets this card, one may be going through a particularly difficult emotional time. Rather than losing yourself in the overwhelming imagery and fantasy that signal the presence of the Moon, give form to this imagery through the creative arts (painting, writing, or dancing). The association this card bears with imagery and fantasy can put one in touch with visions and insight, creativity and psychic powers.[1]
The Moon can be interpreted with the feeling of uncertainty, where the past still haunts, unsure of a journey but still going ahead with it, feeling watched and because it is commonly associated with dreams, fantasies and mysteries this card can also be interpreted with surreal feelings and situations in your waking life.
Alternative decks[edit]
- In the "Flemish Deck" by Vandenborre, the moon shows a woman seated in the right-hand corner with a tree in the left hand corner. The moon is directly above her. She is shown with a distaff in her right hand and spinning thread with her left hand.
- In one of the old Italian Tarot decks, instead of the above scene there is an Astrologer plotting a horoscope while the moon shines in from a window.
- In Mythic Tarot decks, the moon is depicted by Artemis, Selene or Hecate.

Looks like Britney Spears has a full social schedule for her upcoming trip to Las Vegas to inspect her future home at Planet Hollywood. The Las Vegas Sun's Robin Leach reports that while in Sin City this weekend, Britney will attend a huge benefit event and check out another major headliner's show at Caesars Palace.
Leach says that Britney will be one of the many celebrity guests at " One Night for One Drop ," a fundraising gala staged by the founder of Cirque du Soleil. It will involve 230 performers from numerous Cirque shows, plus guest performers, and the goal is to raise more than five million bucks for One Drop, a charity that works to ensure that everyone has access to clean water.
In addition, Britney will take in Shania Twain 's show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the same theater where Celine Dion performs.
As previously reported, while in Vegas, Britney will be touring the theater at Planet Hollywood in advance of announcing an upcoming residency there.
In other Britney news, she'll soon grace the cover of Shape magazine. She tweeted , " @Shape_Magazine Thanks for the great photo shoot today! It was fun to get all dolled up for the cover!" She included a close-up photo of her hand getting a manicure with Chanel nail polish.

A neighbor reportedly went on the attack, firing a shotgun through his neighbor's door, then through a window. By the time things settled down, five people were dead.
Neighbors called police after hearing loud gunshots around 9 a.m. on Saturday.
Phoenix police say 56-year-old Michael Dante Guzzo shot his four neighbors and their two dogs before turning the gun on himself.
The neighbors have been identified as 66-year-old Bruce Moore, 42-year-old Michael Moore, 36-year-old Renee Moore and 17-year-old Shannon Moore.
The SWAT Team surrounded a townhouse complex after neighbors hear a round of gunshots. Officers discovered the Moore family had been murdered, including their two dogs.
"When they got to the back patio area, they found two people who had been deceased from gunshot wounds. They went ahead and made an emergency entrance into the apartment and discovered two other victims inside," said Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
Guzzo was found dead in a next door townhouse, from what Phoenix police say appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
They say a pump shotgun, believed to be the murder weapon, was found next to him."I was sleeping. I heard a gunshot, I quickly jumped and looked out my window and I saw he was looking at the gun then put it back over the wall and shot again," said Stanislav Mitev. Neighbors say the suspect went to at least one other home, trying to shoot the residents inside. "We woke up, somebody just banged on our door and they shot four rounds. I guess it was a shotgun, there's big old holes on my door," said Libni Deleon. It's unclear what sparked the shooting rampage. Neighbors say Guzzo was quiet and usually kept to himself. "I've seen him every morning--come in quiet every morning. I've waved to him from that blue gate two or three times a week. Never would expect him to be the guy would did this at all," said Donald McKenzie.

ST. CROIX COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Aaron Schaffhausen will find out as early as Tuesday whether he'll go to prison, or to a mental institution for killing his three young daughters last July in River Falls.
The prosecution rested its case Monday in Schaffhausen's sanity trial, ending two weeks of testimony.
Attorneys will make their closing arguments Tuesday. And then the case will go to a St. Croix County jury.
Ten of the 12 final jurors must agree on a fate for the 35-year-old Schaffhausen, who pleaded guilty to his homicide and attempted arson charges before his sanity trial.
Monday, the prosecution's final witness – state mental health doctor Erik Knudson – testified that Schaffhausen knew right from wrong when he stabbed and slashed his daughters Cecilia, Sophie, and Amara.
If the jury agrees, the 35-year-old Schaffhausen will get three mandatory life prison terms, plus a sentence for the attempted arson. If he's found insane, he'll go to a mental institution where he can get treatment and eventually petition for a release.

The White House said the move by Iran did not come as a surprise, describing it as a further escalation and continuing violation of Iran's international obligations.
"It would mark yet another provocative step by Iran, and will only invite further isolation by the international community," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "We continue to believe that there is time and space for diplomacy to work, but actions like this only undercut the efforts of the international community to resolve its concerns."

The European Union's top foreign policy official, Catherine Ashton, said she is confident negotiations over Iran's nuclear program will resume soon. Ashton has convened past meetings, and her spokesman had suggested last week that Iran was delaying by setting new preconditions and not agreeing to a venue.
A Western diplomat accredited to the U.N. agency said IAEA delegation heads from the U.S. and its allies exchanged views over Iran's plans Thursday and agreed to await further developments. He also demanded anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the issue.
While acknowledging that the Iranian plan was of concern, he noted that Tehran had set no date for installing the new centrifuges. That, he said, gave the international community breathing space.
Iran says it is enriching only to power reactors and for scientific and medical purposes. But because of its nuclear secrecy, many countries fear that Iran may break out from its present production that is below the weapons-grade threshold and start enriching uranium to levels of over 90 percent, used to arm nuclear weapons.
Tehran now has more than 10,000 centrifuges enriching uranium at its main plant at Natanz, 140 miles southeast of Tehran, to fuel grade at below 4 percent. Its separate Fordo facility, southwest of Tehran, has close to 3,000 centrifuges — most of them active and producing material enriched to 20 percent, which can be turned into weapons-grade uranium much more quickly.
Iran has depended on domestically made and breakdown-prone IR-1 centrifuges whose design is decades-old at both locations up to now, but started testing more sophisticated prototypes in the summer of 2010.
David Albright, whose Washington-based Institute for Science and International Technology serves as a resource for some U.S. government branches, estimated in a 2011 report that 1,000 of the advanced machines "would be equivalent to about 4,000-5,000 IR-1 centrifuges" in production speed.
Separately from the talks between Iran and the six powers, IAEA experts are scheduled to visit Tehran on Feb. 13 in their more-than-yearlong effort to restart the probe of the weapons allegations.
The British statement urged Iran to "take serious practical steps to cooperate with the IAEA on all matters of substance relating to the possible military dimensions to its nuclear programme."
