The Feature's 2011 Highlights
Here are The Feature's highlights of the year. This list is comprised of my favourites and reader favourites, selected from articles posted here in 2011 (limited to those originally published in 2011). Open this post in your browser to make use of the Read Later button accompanying each link.
Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology
Lawrence Wright, The New Yorker
Haggis had not spoken publicly about his resignation from Scientology. As we stood in a chill wind on Sixth Avenue, he was obviously uncomfortable discussing it, but he is a storyteller, and he eventually launched into a narrative.
The Blind Man Who Taught Himself To See
MJ, Mens Journal
Bats, of course, use echolocation. Beluga whales too. Dolphins. And Daniel Kish. He is so accomplished at echolocation that he's able to pedal his mountain bike through streets heavy with traffic and on precipitous dirt trails. He climbs trees. He camps out, by himself, deep in the wilderness. He's lived for weeks at a time in a tiny cabin a two-mile hike from the nearest road. He travels around the globe. He's a skilled cook, an avid swimmer, a fluid dance partner. Essentially, though in a way that is unfamiliar to nearly any other human being, Kish can see.
Mind vs. Machine
Brian Christian, The Atlantic
In the race to build computers that can think like humans, the proving ground is the Turing Test—an annual battle between the world's most advanced artificial-intelligence programs and ordinary people. The objective? To find out whether a computer can act "more human" than a person. In his own quest to beat the machines, the author discovers that the march of technology isn't just changing how we live, it's raising new questions about what it means to be human.
Inside the Secret Service
Marc Ambinder, The Atlantic
When President Obama and two-thirds of the world's leaders gather in New York City, it is up to the U.S. Secret Service to keep them all safe. Granted unprecedented access, our author tells the story of how the agency pulls off the most complicated security event of the year, from counter-surveillance to counter-assault, hotel booking to event scheduling.
The Possibilian
Burkhard Bilger, The New Yorker
Time is a dimension like any other, fixed and defined down to its tiniest increments: millennia to microseconds, aeons to quartz oscillations. Yet the data rarely matches our reality. The rapid eye movements in the mirror, known as saccades, aren't the only things that get edited out. The jittery camera shake of everyday vision is similarly smoothed over, and our memories are often radically revised. What else are we missing?
A Murder Foretold
David Grann, The New Yorker
Rodrigo Rosenberg knew that he was about to die. It wasn't because he was approaching old age—he was only forty-eight. Nor had he been diagnosed with a fatal illness; an avid bike rider, he was in perfect health. Rather, Rosenberg, a highly respected corporate attorney in Guatemala, was certain that he was going to be assassinated.
The Setup
Peter Crooks, Diablo Magazine
You may have heard the name Christopher Butler in the news lately but certainly not for reasons that the 49-year-old Concord resident would want you to know about. I've been following Butler's mysterious story since last August, when he invited me to write a Diablo feature about his business. It unexpectedly turned out to be the most interesting—and frightening—story in my 14 years of being a journalist.
In the Sorting Office
James Meek, London Review of Books
Every week Dutch households and businesses are visited by postmen and postwomen from four different companies. There are the 'orange' postmen of the privatised Dutch mail company, trading as TNT Post but about to change their name to PostNL; the 'blue' postmen of Sandd, a private Dutch firm; the 'yellow' postmen of Selekt, owned by Deutsche Post/DHL; and the 'half-orange' postmen of Netwerk VSP, set up by TNT to compete cannibalistically against itself by using casual labour that is cheaper than its own (unionised) workforce. TNT delivers six days a week, Sandd and Selekt two, and VSP one. From the point of view of an ardent free-marketeer, this sounds like healthy competition. Curiously, however, none of the competitors is prospering.
Wikipedia And The Death Of The Expert
Maria Bustillos, The Awl
It's high time people stopped kvetching about Wikipedia, which has long been the best encyclopedia available in English, and started figuring out what it portends instead. For one thing, Wikipedia is forcing us to confront the paradox inherent in the idea of learners as "doers, not recipients." If learners are indeed doers and not recipients, from whom are they learning? From one another, it appears; same as it ever was.
Here Be Monsters
Michael Finkel, GQ
They did it for the simplest of reasons: adventure. Three friends, on a drunken dare, set out in a dinghy for a nearby island. But when the gas ran out and they drifted into barren waters, their biggest threat wasn't the water or the ocean—it was each other.
The Immortal Horizon
Leslie Jamison, Believer Magazine
Over twenty years later, that man, the man in the trench coat—Gary Cantrell by birth, self-dubbed Lazarus Lake—has turned this terrain into the stage for a legendary ritual: the Barkley Marathons, held yearly (traditionally on Lazarus Friday or April Fool's Day) outside Wartburg, Tennessee. Lake (known as Laz) calls it "The Race That Eats Its Young." The runners' bibs say something different each year: SUFFERING WITHOUT A POINT; NOT ALL PAIN IS GAIN. Only eight men have ever finished. The event is considered extreme even by those who specialize in extremity.
The Epidemic of Mental Illness (Part 2)
Marcia Angell, The New York Review of Books
It seems that Americans are in the midst of a raging epidemic of mental illness, at least as judged by the increase in the numbers treated for it. The tally of those who are so disabled by mental disorders that they qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) increased nearly two and a half times between 1987 and 2007—from one in 184 Americans to one in seventy-six. For children, the rise is even more startling—a thirty-five-fold increase in the same two decades. Mental illness is now the leading cause of disability in children, well ahead of physical disabilities like cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, for which the federal programs were created.
The Neverending Nightmare of Amanda Knox
Nathaniel Rich, Rolling Stone
When an attractive young woman from a privileged British family is murdered in Italy, you've got a popular crime story. When the person suspected of killing her is an attractive young woman from a privileged American family, you have tabloid gold. When the prosecutor hypothesizes that the victim was slaughtered during a satanic ritual orgy, you've got the crime story of a decade. When a sitting U.S. senator declares that the case "raises serious questions about the Italian justice system" and asks if "anti-Americanism" is to blame, and when 11 Italian lawmakers in Silvio Berlusconi's coalition request a probe of the prosecutor's office — well, at that point, you have an international crisis.
Agony and Ivory
Alex Shoumatoff, Vanity Fair
Highly emotional and completely guileless, elephants mourn their dead—and across Africa, they are grieving daily as demand from China's "suddenly wealthy" has driven the price of ivory to $700 a pound or more. With tens of thousands of elephants being slaughtered each year for their tusks, raising the specter of an "extinction vortex," Alex Shoumatoff travels from Kenya to Seattle to Guangzhou, China, to expose those who are guilty in the massacre—and recognize those who are determined to stop it.
The Brain on Trial
David Eagleman, The Atlantic
The choices we make are inseparably yoked to our neural circuitry, and therefore we have no meaningful way to tease the two apart. The more we learn, the more the seemingly simple concept of blameworthiness becomes complicated, and the more the foundations of our legal system are strained.
Unraveling Mexico's Sinaloa Drug Cartel
Richard Marosi, Los Angeles Times
As drug smugglers from the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico sent a never-ending stream of cocaine across the border and into a vast U.S. distribution web in Los Angeles, DEA agents were watching and listening.
The Age of Mechanical Reproduction
Paul Ford, The Morning News
When it comes to IVF, in-vitro fertilization, nothing is normal. Your world is upside-down. Your doctor compliments your wife on her monkeys. Then, when every dollar and exertion has gone toward a single hour of hope, it begins to snow
My Summer at an Indian Call Center
Andrew Marantz, Mother Jones
Every month, thousands of Indians leave their Himalayan tribes and coastal fishing towns to seek work in business process outsourcing, which includes customer service, sales, and anything else foreign corporations hire Indians to do. The competition is fierce. No one keeps a reliable count, but each year there are possibly millions of applicants vying for BPO positions. A good many of them are bright recent college grads, but their knowledge of econometrics and Soviet history won't help them in interviews. Instead, they pore over flashcards and accent tapes, intoning the shibboleths of English pronunciation—"wherever" and "pleasure" and "socialization"—that recruiters use to distinguish the employable candidates from those still suffering from MTI, or "mother tongue influence."
Peyton's Place
John Jeremiah Sullivan, GQ
When John Jeremiah Sullivan and his wife leveraged everything they had to buy a big brick neo-Colonial in Wilmington, North Carolina (the Hollywood of the South!), their realtor made an irresistible proposal: By allowing a popular teen TV show to film at the house a few days a month, they could pretty much get the mortgage covered. What came next was a journey into a pop-cultural hall of mirrors.
The Shame of College Sports
Taylor Branch, The Atlantic
With so many people paying for tickets and watching on television, college sports has become Very Big Business. According to various reports, the football teams at Texas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Penn State—to name just a few big-revenue football schools—each earn between $40 million and $80 million in profits a year, even after paying coaches multimillion-dollar salaries. When you combine so much money with such high, almost tribal, stakes—football boosters are famously rabid in their zeal to have their alma mater win—corruption is likely to follow.
The Movie Set That Ate Itself
Michael Idov, GQ
Five years ago, a relatively unknown (and unhinged) director began one of the wildest experiments in film history. Armed with total creative control, he invaded a Ukrainian city, marshaled a cast of thousands and thousands, and constructed a totalitarian society in which the cameras are always rolling and the actors never go home.

I Price-Lined a hotel and got the Hyatt Regency Pier 66. It is a nice hotel that is very close to the port. If I did it again, though, I think that I would have booked a hotel that was directly on the beach.
We arrived at the port at 11:15. The doors opened around 11:35. We were in our rooms at 12:30. The embarkation process was very quick and painless.
We had booked a BG guarantee and received a BB cabin. Our room was very roomy and had a huge closet. The bathroom was typical cruise ship size. We met Mario, our room steward. Mario is the best! We always greeted us with a smile and friendly comment. Our room was always kept in immaculate condition.
We bought a banner to hang over our balcony so that our "wave" could be filmed on www.portevergladeswebcam.com. The filming didn't quite work out, but we still had great fun doing it.
The food on the Ruby Princess has the best food that we have ever eaten on a cruise! We had late seating dinner. Our waiter, Santi, and assistant water, Alheli, always took good care of us. Once they found out that we loved our iced tea, it was always ready for us when we sat down. Santi always had the best recommendations about the food on the menu. For lunch, we ate at one of many other places that the Ruby Princess has available.
Every crew member that we encountered on the Ruby Princess was always smiling and always spoke. When I say every crew member, I mean every crew member!
We were on the Princess Entertainer of the Year Cruise. We considered ourselves to be lucky to be able to watch all these talented acts. We enjoyed all the shows!
The ports that we visited were Princess Cays, St. Martin, St. Thomas, and Grand Turk. We carried our own equipment and snorkeled at every port but St. Martin. We took a taxi to and snorkeled Coki Beach on St. Thomas and booked a private dive company for Grand Turk. At St. Martin, we took a taxi to Maho Beach and watched the big planes and jets land. Our favorite port for snorkeling was St. Thomas, but our most favorite port was St. Martin because it so much fun to watch the planes land. We should have taken our snorkeling equipment to Maho Beach because on that the day it was calm enough to snorkel.
We carried our own bags and did the walk-off disembarkation at 6:45 and at 7:00, we were in our car headed for home.
We had a wonderful time on the Ruby Princess!

In 1913 Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford founded a new car company known as Bamford & Martin. A year later, they changed the name to Aston Martin, after one of their cars performed very well on the famous Aston Hill Climb.
In 1915, the first ever Aston Martin car was registered. For the next few years the company produced only a few cars and it sent its first competition car out in 1921. World War I and its after effects, hampered Aston Martin`s progress and it even had to close its doors in 1925. However, it started up again in 1926.
Following the Great War, the next two decades were tough for Aston. It changed ownership many times and then came World War II. With the company floundering, it was saved by David Brown who bought it in 1947. Under his control, the names of all Aston Martins would now feature the initials DB. In 1949, two DB2s were entered in to Le Mans and in 1950 the DB2 went into production. 1951 was a real breakthrough year as the DB2 took first, second and third places in its class at Le Mans. In 1954, Brown moved production to Newport Pagnell.
Production of the DB4 began in 1958 and this car paved the way for some of Aston Martin`s best ever years. Aston won several races and increased their range but more importantly, James Bond drove a DB5 in the early movies. The silver car, complete with ejector seat, was an instant icon.
However, not even Bond was able to save the manufacturer when the 1970s oil crisis hit and strict new safety regulations were introduced. David Brown was forced to sell Aston Martin in 1972. In 1975 only 21 cars were produced. During the 1980s, a host of fairly uninspiring V8 Vantages and Volantes kept the company going while it changed hands a number of times. Ford bought the majority of Aston in 1987 and finally bought the whole lot in 1994.
Under the ownership of Ford, the DB7 hit the market. It was a better car than those released in the 80s but it still felt a rather half-hearted effort. However, numbers went up and 5000 DB7s had been made by 2001. In 2003, the company moved to new premises in Gaydon and announced that it was returning to racing through the DBR9. It also improved the cars it was producing for sale with the V8 Vantage and DB9. The manufacturer`s total of cars produced since its inception reached 30,000 in 2006.
Recently, Aston Martin appeared on the big screen once more with the DBS debuting as Bond`s drive in Casino Royale. Ford sold the company in 2007 and it was snapped up by two international investment houses. Since then, Aston has continued its success on the track and increased its range, including the One-77 and Cygnet models. In 2009, Aston even announced that the Lagonda brand was being resurrected after decades of slumber. These days, Aston Martins are considered to be classic, luxury cars and have a price tag to match. They are not for people concerned with the cost of repair bill or in consulting an mpg calculator. The company celebrates its 100 year anniversary in 2013.

'Unprecedented' $80 billion pulled from bond funds
And more investors could take flight after they receive quarterly statements in the coming weeks.
A record amount of money poured out of exchange-traded and mutual bond funds in June, according to a fresh report by TrimTabs, nearly double the amount pulled out of bond funds at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008.
Investor fears over the scaling back of the U.S. Federal Reserve's bond purchasing program has seen the yield on 10-year Treasurys rise sharply to 2.5% as $80 billion left bond funds in June, according to the research.
"The herd is scrambling for the exit this month as bond yields back up across the board and central bankers hint that they might provide less monetary stimulus in the future," TrimTabs CEO David Santschi said in a research note on Sunday. "We estimate that bond mutual funds have lost $70.8 billion in June through Thursday, June 27, while bond exchange-traded funds have lost $9.0 billion."
The rush out of bonds could be about to get even worse, according to the research firm, which says that more bond investors could take flight after receiving their quarterly statements in the coming weeks, noticing that their "safe" bond funds are delivering losses instead of gains.
The global sell-off in bonds began on May 22, after the minutes of the Fed's policy meeting signaled that its bond-buying program -- which has suppressed yields and boosted stocks -- could soon be pared back. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke echoed that view at a press meeting last Wednesday, suggesting that asset purchases could be scaled back later this year if economic data continued to show improvement.
TrimTabs call the liquidation "unprecedented" after indicating last Monday that bond outflows had already reached records with a figure of $47.2 billion. In just one extra week that number has risen to $79.8 billion which it says is reversing 73% of the $109.6 billion inflows seen earlier this year.
"Until last month, investors had been content to shovel huge sums into bonds with little regard for value, confident that endless central bank liquidity would keep prices at ridiculous levels. It was only a few weeks ago that junk bond yields dipped below 5% for the first time."
Erik Nielsen, chief global economist at UniCredit told CNBC that the interest rate on a benchmark 10-year Treasurys will move even higher after stabilizing at the 2.5% level as bond investors continue to drag money out of funds.
"There's a lot of liquidity, the world is slowly getting better and people are sort of finding the normal level of risk again ... in the process of going to 3 [% bond yields] they will leave," he told CNBC Monday.
Nielsen called this a "critical" period for the bond markets, with the world's pension funds and insurance companies loaded up with "safe haven" government treasuries that are now facing capital losses after receiving negative real yields for three or four years.
"They will like to own it when it gets to 3.5 [%]. But the process from going to 2.5 and 3.5 implies capital losses, and you wouldn't want to sit on those losses in that process if you can avoid it," he said.
Pimco's flagship Total Return Bond Fund (BOND) wasn't immune to the damage either; it took a hefty hit in June as yields spiked. The Pimco fund, which is the world's largest bond fund, with over $285 billion assets under management, shed 2.8% from its net asset value during the month.
Many speculators predict yields will hit a "new normal" of 3%, but Bill Gross -- the manager of Pimco's Total Return Bond Fund -- said in his July newsletter that investors shouldn't jump ship yet and yields should actually be trading at 2.2%.
More from CNBC
Slowly sell your bonds as rates go up and build a ladder of higher yielding equities until bond rates match the lowest of your equities and then sell equities and buy CDs. I'd be mixing a little GLD and GLX just for good measure so when the fear of inflation starts to get hyped you're ready.

EAST LANSING, MI (WHBL) - Wisconsin was eliminated from the Big Ten men's basketball title chase Thursday night, after losing at Michigan State 58-43. The 22nd-ranked Badgers shot just over 29-percent – their lowest since 1999 – as they dropped to fifth place in the conference at 11-6 with only one game left. 10th-ranked Michigan State pulled away with a 16-0 run early in the second half. Wisconsin committed 17 turnovers – almost double its season average of almost nine-and-a-half, which led the nation. The Badgers did not have a scorer in double figures until 1:22 left, when Ben Brust made two free throws. He had 10. Keith Appling scored all but five of his 19 points after the break, to help Michigan State move into a three-way tie for second place, one game behind front-running Indiana. The Spartans are now 12-5 in the Big Ten, and 23-7 overall. Badgers' coach Bo Ryan has now lost five straight to Michigan State. Stats L-L-C says it's his longest losing streak to a single team since he took over at Wisconsin 12 seasons ago. The Badgers are now 20-10 overall, and will close out their regular season at Penn State on Sunday.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A great wine of the Langa, garnet red with a shade of amber. It has an intense and embracing fragrance, and full-bodied but smooth tannic taste with a long spiced finish.
Derived from the Nebbiolo grapes from the Costa Grimaldi vineyard owned by the Einaudi estate, facing Barolo. The tannic characteristics
guarantee a long life in bottle. With time it acquires complexity as the ethereal aromas of spices, truffles and leather.
"The 2008 Barolo Costa Grimaldi reveals lovely freshness and vibrancy in its floral bouquet and delineated, nuanced fruit. Mint, licorice and sweet spices add lift and brightness throughout. The Costa Grimaldi is a bit on the delicate, feminine side in this vintage, but the balance remains compelling. In particular, the wine's focus and clarity on the finish show the qualities that make 2008 such a terrific vintage. Costa Grimaldi is made from the Via Nuova vineyard in Barolo, a cold site that does best in warmer years. In 2008, a cold year, the Costa Grimaldi comes across as compact and unyielding. If the wine fleshes out in bottle it could merit a higher score. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028."

The Wine Advocate
"Wild flower, dried jasmine, wild berry, hazelnut and ginger open the beautifully fragrant bouquet. The mouthfeel is tight, elegant and silky with polished tannins and fresh menthol overtones."

Wine Enthusiast
"Bright red-ruby. Deep, very ripe aromas of black cherry and minerals. Very rich, sweet and creamy, but with lovely mineral lift to the medicinal black cherry and spice flavors. Finishes long and vibrant, with big, building tannins and a powerful impression of structure."

Nebbiolo is the key grape in the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco. It is not the

long been the honored red grape of Northern Italy...Read More About Nebbiolo

About Our Theme
The horse has been revered in many cultures and religions as a sacred animal. Mythology has even depicted it as a single-horned or winged creature. This powerful and beautiful animal has made possible travel and movement in all parts of the world. Horses have transported gods and men of all ranks throughout history and myth.
The horse symbolizes many things: power, speed, tenacity, intuition, strength, agility, persever-ance, purity, virility, fertility, travel, and money. In itself, it is a beautiful animal – majestic and wild, yet gentle when tamed. Many Asian businesses have a horse painting or statue to invite the energy of success and the ability to leap over obstacles with grace and ease.
This year's theme, "Riding Into A New Era," invokes the energy of powerful and successful change. The ability to move on from the past and aspire to see the future with excitement – leaping towards goals with the conviction, power, and agility of the horse – that is what we invite into our lives as we celebrate this wondrous creature and old friend to mankind.
Let us all ride into the new era of peace, happiness and success as we welcome yet another year – the Year of the Horse!

Balance: Yoga RX
By Timothy McCall, MD
Yoga can help prevent a pounding head by lowering stress levels, improving posture, and reducing muscle tension in the upper back and neck. But if you're experiencing pain, your normal practice can make things worse. Here are three poses to help relieve a headache. Close your eyes, and breathe slowly and deeply through your nose. Hold each pose for five minutes or for as long as you are comfortable.
1. Supported Cobbler's pose. Sit, and place the soles of your feet together. Loop a strap around your sacrum and under your feet (run it between your legs), and lie back over a bolster with a blanket under your head. Place blocks or pillows under your thighs to relieve tension in the groin area.
2. Seated Forward Bend with the forehead supported. Sit on the edge of a chair in front of a table. Hold each elbow with the opposite hand, bend forward at the hips, and place your forehead on your folded arms. Create slight traction between your head and arms so that the skin on the forehead is tugged gently down toward your cheeks.
3. Deep Relaxation pose. Lie on your mat with your head supported and arms and legs gently splayed to the side, palms up. Breathe normally.

Royal Treats is a body of work that was partially conceived in the fall of 1994. It was put on hold, however, while I undertook the commission to paint The Fourteen Stations of the Cross for St. David's Anglican Church in Vancouver, BC.
Before I took on the Stations of the Cross, my initial ideas for Royal Treats were to encompass images of superstition and ritual set in fast-food restaurants. The paintings Royal Treats and Sandwich Artist reflect these themes. Royal Treats, which takes place in a Dairy Queen, is loosely based on the Catholic ritual of communion while Sandwich Artist takes a more pagan approach by depicting a palm reading at a Subway sandwich shop. Two other works, Fast Food Ritual I & II, also deal with similar notions.

The Camp Lejeune Marine behind a deadly shooting spree in Texas was a decorated Marine who deployed twice to Afghanistan, military officials say.
Law enforcement in Texas shot and killed Lance Cpl. Esteban Jimene Smith, 23, of Bakersfield, California, after they say he shot six people in an early morning shooting rampage on Sunday. Five were injured and a 41-year-old woman died, police said.
Smith joined the Marine Corps in November 2008 as a rifleman, deploying to Afghanistan from August 2010 to May 2011, and again from April 2012 to November 2012, said Master Sgt. Jonathan Cress, Camp Lejeune spokesman.
Smith deployed with the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. His personal awards include the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and a Combat Action Ribbon, said Cress.
Smith was also awarded the Afghanistan Campaign Medal (2nd award), a Navy Unit Commendation (2nd award), Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (2nd award), and the NATO Medal - International Security Assistance Force, Afghanistan.
Police say Smith murdered his wife, 21-year-old Rubi Estefania Smith, also of Bakersfield, California, before his deadly shooting spree in Texas. Jacksonville police found her body Sunday afternoon at the Sunset Inn on Western Boulevard with trauma from a stab wound.
"He lived on Camp Lejeune, so he didn't live out in town. That's the reason they were in the motel," said Chief Michael Yaniero of the Jacksonville Police Department.
Police say after Smith murdered his wife, he traveled to Texas. Onslow County district attorney Ernie Lee believes Smith had family there.
"I guess what bothers me so much about this case is not only is there a tragedy now for the victim's family here in Onslow County, but now we got victims out in the state of Texas too," said Lee.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says around 4:30 Sunday morning, Smith began randomly shooting at people from his pickup truck in Concho County, Texas killing a woman, 41-year-old Alicia Torres, and injuring five. One of those injured was the Concho County Sheriff.
"I know there are a lot of families out there suffering right now because of either wounded or lost loved ones," said Lee.
Following a police pursuit, Smith died in a shootout with a game warden and a trooper. Texas police recovered an assault rifle, a handgun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
"NCIS is helping us coordinate this investigation," said Yaniero.
Law enforcement is now investigating three sets of crime scenes: those in Texas, the one at the motel, and Smith's room at Camp Lejeune.
Police say they're not sure how long Smith's wife was dead before they found her. They're waiting on autopsy results to find that out, said Yaniero.
--- Original Story ---
The death of a Camp Lejeune Marine's wife found in a Jacksonville hotel is being investigated as a homicide.
The Jacksonville Police Department said an active duty Camp Lejeune Marine is linked to the deaths of two women, one in Jacksonville and one in Texas.
21 year old Rubi Estefania Smith of Bakersfield, California was found dead Sunday afternoon at a Jacksonville hotel. She's the wife of Estaban J. Smith.
Police found her body at the Sunset Inn at 497 Western Boulevard. The investigation revealed that she suffered from trauma consistent with a knife wound.
Evidence collected in the multi-agency investigation points to Esteban Smith as being responsible for his wife's death.
Smith is also connected to the death of 41-year-old Alicia Torres of Eola, TX, said Cress. Texas authorities say Smith shot and killed Torres, who was found dead in her car early Sunday morning.
Texas authorities said Torres was one of Smith's six victims in a shooting spree that began around 4:30 AM Sunday. The shooting spree left five injured and one dead. One of the shooting victims was the Concho County sheriff.
Smith was killed Sunday morning in a shootout with Texas law enforcement following his alleged shooting spree.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and Jacksonville Police Department continue investigating the death of the woman in Jacksonville.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact JPD Detective Derek Simmons at (910) 455-4000 or email@example.com.
Crime Stoppers (910) 389- 3273 offers rewards of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest. Callers to Crime Stoppers are not required to reveal their identities.

Blessing: or, A River Runs Through It
Benita Walton was a reconstructive surgeon who saw many cases of breast cancer in her practice. The women she treated were reeling not just from the physical insult of malignancy and surgery, but also from fear and isolation. They had trouble finding post-operative care that would bring emotional and spiritual healing. One survivor remarked, "I kept receiving letters from my hospital informing me of the support groups I could join… I envisioned dark rooms, gray folding chairs, and women crying. I didn't want that."
In her free time, Dr. Walton was a dedicated fly fisher. She realized that the gentle rhythmic motion of fly casting was similar to the therapeutic exercises prescribed to a woman recovering from breast surgery. Furthermore, she knew the mental and spiritual benefits of being amidst nature, on a trout stream. An idea gradually formed: What if breast cancer survivors could attend a wilderness retreat and join a support network centered around fly fishing?
Dr. Walton's brainchild is Casting for Recovery, established in 1996, now providing three-day retreats at 44 sites in 30 different states. The retreats combine top-quality education and counseling services, with abundant time spent on the water, receiving instruction in the nuanced craft of fly fishing. There is no cost to the participants except travel to and from the retreat. The program is volunteer-led, and many volunteers are themselves cancer survivors and CFR alumnae. In this way it is self-sustaining and self-renewing.
Testimonials of the program's benefits have poured forth:
"I thought, That's how I want to live my recovery. I could learn a skill—fly fishing—that I could enjoy the rest of my life, and I could pass on that skill to my children."
"I've made so many friends who have helped show me the path through and beyond cancer."
Our colleague Joe Mann introduced Gary Gunderson's "Leading Causes of Life" in a post last week. Blessing plays a specific role in Gunderson's scheme, related to Hope and Connection. Christians intuitively know that blessing means an experience of God's grace, a reminder to be thankful. Gunderson and co-author Larry Pray emphasize that blessing comes from outside us: we can ask for blessing, or bestow it on another, but we cannot seize it for ourselves. Blessing occurs when we wade into the river of life flowing from our ancestors toward our descendents. Blessing is powerful and unpredictable. Often we don't know its origin, and we can't know all of its future reverberations, its ripple effects.
Casting for Recovery taps into the tradition of fly fishing, a centuries-old means of communing with wild creatures and coaxing a living from nature. The program teaches a skill and empowers women to teach that skill to others. It connects disparate groups of people: survivors, their family members, professional caregivers, and passionate evangelists of fly fishing. It generates new relationships, new opportunities for healing and sharing, that could never be planned out. It is characterized by hospitality, kindness, and humor. CFR clearly meets the definition of Blessing.
The story of CFR reminds me another blessing. I sing in the choir at my church. In our slightly off-key way, our choir contributes to the church's ongoing worship life, while carrying forward the legacy of Faure and Handel, Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley.
A woman in our alto section named Dot suffered a stroke last summer. She had a hospital stay and spent a few weeks in a rehab center to help her begin to recover her speech and mobility.
Our choir director made a point to encourage Dot to return to rehearsal as quickly as possible. Choral singing turns out to be strongly beneficial to a stroke patient, for improving speech and other cognitive abilities. And Dot, like all of us from time to time, can trust in the safety of the singing group to cover for a flubbed syllable or a sour note.
Dot can be found in the choir loft every Sunday, singing her heart out and doing well in every way, being blessed and being a blessing to others.
Shalom y'all,

Allen suggests using a vinegar as a final seasoning for meats and pairing the dish with a Pinot Noir. He explains that the acidity of the vinegar brings out the fruitiness of Pinor Noir wine.
I have enjoyed Pinot Noir mostly with salmon, but I am eager to try serving this red wine with meats as well. The idea of using vinegar instead of extra salt to provide extra taste seems a healthier choice!
The video is available here: http://youtu.be/fPLudaXDfTQ
Would you add vinegar to food as a seasoning?

A burglar is busted by a woman and her eight-year old son. Now, while the victims are speaking out, the suspect is sitting behind bars.
"He busted through my kitchen door -- talking like this is my house. This is my house," said Jamila Sloan. "I really was in fear of my life. My son's life. My well being."
Police say Jamila and her son teamed up and shoved him into a fish tank before hitting him over the head. They held him until the cops same.
"I put his head in the fish tank and got him on the ground. I was choking him and punching him and biting and scratching and doing everything I could," said Sloan.
"He started pulling my mom's hair and that's when I got really really mad," added Chris Turner.
Defending his mom, Chris used a piece from his scooter as a weapon on the burglar.
"I got mad and started hitting him in the head with a handle from my scooter," said Chris.
Cleveland Police arrested Talbert Glenn. It happened Saturday near E. 152nd. Jamila says the intruder had ties to her landlord. She's convinced he was high.
Cops say Glenn has a record for drugs and weapons.

I bought an excellent little book in my local second hand book shop this afternoon. It's entitled 'Reading Things' and is a collection of essays and artists' projects curated by sculptor Neil Cummings:
Most of our material world, like the iceberg, lies beneath the threshold of our comprehension. Things flow past and rest silently as a sediment shaping our consciousness. If our experience of time is dovetailed into the representation of the present, the object, like the pop song, can snare the fleeting moment as it falls away from memory.
I was particularly struck by two photo series: 'Ties' by Roger Estop (images above) and Richard Wentworth's 'Parade: Twenty one non-sequiturs':
Both projects reminded me of the surrealists' interest in the mundane details of everyday life and the way that these can be transformed into visions of the marvelous simply by photographing them (often in isolation from their normal surroundings). They understood that the camera eye provides a peculiarly intense view of the world in all its strange ordinariness.
I was also reminded of Wentworth's photographs which record objects discovered abandoned on the street and which were exhibited alongisde Eugene Atget's images of a disappearing Paris a few years ago:
Here the boundary between sculpture and photography almost completely disappears.
How can you use photography to re-examine the objects that you use every day without really thinking about or looking at them? How can use your camera to rediscover the everyday world around you?

|Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning
First of all, thanks to Flipkart for gradually increasing their scope of selling goods from Books to Games. I must've bought about 12 games after I came to know about this.
I've bought the PC Version of this game and am using an XBox Wireless Controller with a Gaming Receiver to play this Game. Like all modern Games, the Connection is instantaneous. The moment you connect with an XBox Controller, the Game changes according to your settings, which is Way too cool, as this is my First game with a Controller.
The CD was brand new. Not a single scratch and even though I didn't order for any s... (Expand)
Remember the days when an RPG means endless hours of entertainment. Well this is exactly such a game , over 150hrs of game play. Great Combat system reminiscent of Fable. The Story could have been a lot better but the focus of the game is on the Gameplay and combat system where it beats most of the competition hands down.
Sure , the story is dull. But which RPG isn't about saving the world. Yeah , the character's aren't as intricate as the characters in the BioWare games , but lets face it , Dragon Age 2 was a 30hr game at the max and that's stretching it.
Well worth the buy, could have c... (Expand)
After about 90 hours into the game, I am still hungry for more. The best part of the game is combat. God of War style combat in an RPG? Yes please. Three combat classes can be mixed for 7 different combinations and each one has enough diversity to play like a totally different game. Loot and crafting mechanic are fun enough to keep you going way beyond main and side-quests. Talking of side-quests, there are so many that many reviewers complained about "too much to do". Well, they had a deadline to finish game, I didn't.
If you're looking for an RPG with solid combat, tons of side... (Expand)
Have just played 8 hours (out of the advertised 300 hours) so you can't really call this a review. :)
First of all, the game is LESS BUGGY than the recently released Demo (I personally haven't come across any bugs, but I haven't play more and I'm near the same towns/areas as the demo, so have to explore more).
I'm playing this using my XBOX 360 Gamepad (yes, on a PC, inb4 PC Gaming Master Race, etc). The combat is more-or-less a button masher, but even though it may look lame that pressing different buttons changes your weapons/switch from magic INSTANTLY, it's FUN and the visual effects... (Expand)
KOAR boasts of big fishes in its development team and almost promises to live up to expectations. The combat is addictively fun and reminds of God of War and to an extent, Diablo. The loot is random and color-coded, and smithing and sage crafting are engaging. Reckoning mode is a worthy top up as are chakrams, faeblades and the cool destinies. The game boasts to be open world, though nowhere in the same league as Skyrim etc. The voice acting is quite good as is the music. The main plot and the factions are pretty good too; it is the side-quests that fail to innovate. The story is also on th... (Expand)
I bought this game by seeing reviews.Superb Story Line,Good storytelling,Awesome weapons,easy to upgrade Abilities & Status of the Character.

The graphics were bad, with all the bright colors, it was really pathetic.
The game play, it was decent in that aspect. But each time we did the fast travel, the monsters would respawn, this made the experience of this game pretty bad.

So, Kingdoms of Amalur. The creators promised a gameply of 300+ hours. Does it really have so much in it? Well, yeah, I finished the game at Normal difficulty and it took me about 150-160 hrs.

It is such a cool game to play.The characters are awesome,the gameplay is awesome and finally the whole game is awesome.we will get a sword and then armour,bows and arrows etc with which we will have to fight all sorts of monsters. (View complete review)
The game was nice and it has all elements to keep you interested. It has many interesting side quests, so you can play the game for more than 100 hours.

Lymph Nodes
It is common to be able to see or feel lymph nodes in a child's neck. Nodes are supposed to enlarge in response to an infection and then get smaller after the infection is resolved (think about the "glands" that enlarge when you have a sore throat).
Most lymph nodes do not need to be removed. A node that is significantly enlarged or growing, or one that fails to resolve as expected may need to be removed or biopsied. Occasionally infected nodes can fill with pus and will need to be opened and drained before the infection will resolve.

Two Fremont police officers are recovering from injuries that came when they crashed together during a police chase late Saturday night.
An officer with the Fremont Police Department attempted to stop a driver around 11:40 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Sycamore and Wilson in Fremont when he ran a stop sign. Officers say the driver took off, leading authorities on a high speed pursuit through the city and county.
The chase ended when two police cruisers were involved in a crash at the intersection of Hickory and Wilson at 11:41 p.m. Both vehicles were en route to assist with the pursuit.
The vehicle involved in the chase was later found by officers around 2:35 a.m. Sunday, unoccupied in the 800 block of White Avenue. Officer say the vehicle was towed and its owner was notified. It is unknown at this time if the vehicle was stolen.
Both Fremont Police officers involved in the crash were transported to hospitals with serious injuries. Senior Patrolman Robert Schultz was treated and released following the accident late Saturday night. Probationary Patrolman Erik Kessler is still in a Toledo hospital recovering from his injuries.
Police Chief Tim Wiersma says the Ohio State Highway Patrol is reconstructing the crash to determine if either patrolman should be charged.
Police have not identified the driver of the vehicle who was fleeing and eluding police prior to the crash. They are waiting for a search warrant to check the car for fingerprints.
Wiersma asks anyone with more information about the incident to contact the Fremont Police Department at 419-332-6464.

Applying Real-Time to the Operators Tool Kit: Enabling the Second Side of the Two-Sided Model
Up until now, business support systems have had to keep up with what was happening on the network. The business process started with the network and then events fed into the billing-to-cash process. In that old-fashioned world, the billing process was an excellent audit platform and one of the key revenue assurance tools at an operators disposal.
The world has changed. Real-time has real meaning. Customers want to know what is about to happen on the network when they press continue, not what has already happened. The monitoring and management of networks is converging with the monitoring and management of customers and will combine to form powerful policy tools. These tools will help operators deliver real value to OTT players via real-time insights into customer behavior.
The real-time phenomenon has given birth to another set of opportunities as back office software now begins to control the network. Operators are beginning to offer solutions to other industries and now they have the opportunity to manage the threads that link the smart, connected world together.
Real-time control and monitoring by itself offers one set of solutionsin healthcare, for instance, as heart monitors and pacemakers can be linked to machines that can alert specialists the instant something out of the ordinary happens. Other examples abound in the automotive, telematics, and content industries where malfunction alerts and alerts for jitter can save a life. Now operators can deliver that level of quality and controlwhich will be a real benefit to other industries. Add broadband to real-time and mobile and the benefits to medicine, particularly, are game changing. Already, remote medicine is changing lives around the world as patient records can be emailed to medical experts.
Real-time means real value and real opportunity for operators to transfer skills and technology to other industries. If they grab this opportunity, they will be the platform on which the smarter, safer planet lives.
What partnerships with other industries has your company considered?
We want YOUR real-time insights into this topic. Join our editors, industry experts and friends from MATRIXX Software in discussing this story in the comment section below.

Thanks to good neighbors, Candy has shared a corkscrew, a ladder, an inflatable bed, an air pump, chairs, a bike, wi-fi, books, a drill, an iron, professional studio lights, a large pot, wine, and food. And this was only amongst a few neighbors because she rarely bumped into most and had limited ways to break the ice. In a time where SMS has made phone calls seem invasive, a door knock feels nearly violating. Her neighbors could be in their pajamas, eating dinner, fresh out of the shower, or making out, and suddenly she's banging on their door.
So when GOOD Magazine invited her to contribute to their 2010 Neighborhoods issue, she wondered if she could take advantage of the format and make something that could be torn out of the magazine and used as a tool. The Neighbor Doorknob Hanger is a simple, double-sided sign that provides a friendly platform for residents in dense quarters to offer and request things at everyone's convenience. One side says "Please Disturb" and makes space for you to list offerings and choose how you prefer to be contacted – a knock at specific times that are good for you, by phone, or by email. The other side of the doorknob hanger says "Can I borrow?" and provides the same format for requesting things. Think of it as an invitation, a validated request, or a low-tech status update for your door, so we can share more resources without interrupting each other at a bad time! If you missed the issue, you can print your own at home with these pdf files of side 1 and side 2.
2010, 3.5″ x 9″, Printed on card stock in GOOD Magazine's April 2010 issue.
