"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"I didn't change anything about this product other than the information obviously. The quality is GREAT and exactly what I was looking for in an every day return address label. Colors are beautiful."
"I was so happy with the quality of the paper and how the address labels looked. I was very pleasantly surprised. Love, love them."
"ordered these to match the "officially growing: begonia" birthday invitations. they match perfectly. very happy with my purchase."
"Really cute labels! If we hadn't chosen to do a combined Christmas card and birth announcement, I would have chosen the matching announcements for my son!"

The college plans to include a competitive equestrian team
by fall 2011.
Randolph-Macon College now offers an
Equestrian Club and has plans to elevate the program to include a competitive
equestrian team by fall 2011.
"The college has applied for membership in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association
(IHSA) and we anticipate membership by January 2011," says Dean of Admissions and
Financial Aid David Lesesne, who serves as the faculty advisor for the club. "We
have made arrangements with The Pines, a stable and training facility in Ashland,
to provide our students lessons and practice and we anticipate hosting an IHSA event
there in partnership with the University of Richmond Equestrian Club. Bruce Nachman,
the trainer at The Pines, serves as the trainer for University of Richmond and is
also serving as our trainer." Lesesne's wife Dana serves as coach for the program.
Most of the IHSA competition will be in Hunter Seat Riding. "We have a number of
currently enrolled students who are avid equestrians who ride in various disciplines—Hunter/Jumper,
Eventing, Dressage, Western—and take advantage of the numerous riding facilities,
trainers and boarding barns in our area," says Lesesne. "Our hope is that our Equestrian
Club will give these riders an organization to share their common interests and
allow the college to help facilitate students' connections with the tremendous equestrian
resources we are blessed to have in our area."
For some students, the new club will also offer the opportunity to compete at the
collegiate level under the banner of Randolph-Macon. "Our intent is for this club
to be open to all disciplines and not just limited to those that want to compete
in the IHSA framework," says Lesesne.
For more information on this program, contact David Lesesne at (804) 752-7314 or

We have all seen donation jars at cash registers. Maybe you have slipped some cash inside to help out a good cause. The opposite happened in Puxico. Someone allegedly stole a jar filled with money meant to help a woman bury her son.
Joan Arnold laid her son to rest about two weeks ago. She'd taken donation jars to local businesses for people who wanted to donate to help the family pay for the funeral. She says she was shocked when she found out someone had stolen them.
"You wonder what's in their head," Arnold said. "They need help."
One of the owners of Puxico Drug says the jar was sitting on the counter. Cecil Vincent says a woman came in and took it.
"We had a couple of jars put out I had several hundred dollars, and I know they had several hundred dollars in theirs," Vincent said. "We don't know the exact amount; we just know there were several hundred dollars in each one."
Surveillance footage from Puxico Drugs and the local package store shows a woman taking the jars. Police identify her as Bobbi Jo Wegener. She faces charges of stealing and theft.
"If they'd asked me for 50 bucks, I would have given it to them. Everyone in this town knows that. She knows that," Vincent said.
Arnold says the funeral home agreed to do the service and allow her to pay for it later. Now, her priority is paying for her son's funeral.
"I've just got to pay what I can when I can and it's hard because I lost my son," Vincent said. "Sifford Funeral Home was so good to do this without any money at all."
Vincent says he's known Arnold's family for years.
"[She's] been a long time friend and customer. My heart goes out to the family; no words can describe why someone would stoop that low," Vincent said.
Arnold and Vincent say Puxico is a tight-knit community; everyone helps each other.
"That's just the way this community is," Arnold said. "You don't have to steal from anybody."
Arnold says her first priority is paying for her son's funeral, but she also has another wish for the person who stole the money.
"I hope she gets help," Arnold said. "She needs help, to do something like that."
If you'd like to help pay for the Todd Arnold's funeral, you can send donations to:

P.O. Box 284

Burton Promoted to head baseball coach
Jonathan Burton recently completed his second season as an assistant coach for the Trojan program. Burton was the pitching coach while heading up the recruiting efforts for former Trojan mentors Jeff Forehand and Chris Collins. Burton also maintained all the outdoor athletic facilities at Trevecca.
The Trevecca's top baseball coaching position became available when Chris Collins resigned to take a position under former Trojans head coach Jeff Forehand at cross-town Lipscomb University, a NCAA Division I program.
In his comments about Jonathan Burton accepting the Trojan baseball head coaching position, President Dan Boone noted that Trevecca is putting another great Christian leader in charge of the baseball program. He added, "Trevecca Nazarene University is excited to announce the selection of Jonathan Burton as its next head baseball coach. Jonathan is a graduate of Trevecca and embodies the spirit of the Trevecca experience. He has been a vital part of coaching our nationally renowned program during the past few years and will continue the tradition of a strong athletic program built on Christian character."
Trevecca director of athletics Brenda Patterson added, "We had some very strong candidates for the head coaching position but it was Jonathan's passion for Trevecca, his excellent work ethics, and his love for the game that made Jonathan stand out above the other candidates. Jonathan is a great addition to head coaching staff and we are excited to watch our strong baseball tradition continue with Coach Burton at the helm."
Patterson is pleased to hire someone out of the Trevecca family: "Jonathan is no stranger to Trevecca Nazarene University. Jonathan graduated from TNU and has been an assistant coach for the Trojans since 2004."
Burton said, "Trevecca holds a unique place in my heart. Having the opportunity to lead the program that I helped build as a player and assistant coach is an incredible opportunity. I want to thank President Boone, Steve Harris, and Brenda Patterson for the chance to guide the Trojan baseball program. Trevecca has always been home to me and I'm excited to be able to continue on this journey."
"The success that our program has had to this point has been in part to two fantastic head coaches (Jeff Forehand and Chris Collins). The foundation that has been laid and my hope and our charge are to continue building on that winning tradition. With our returning class and incoming signees we have a great opportunity to do something special again next spring."
Burton himself had an inspiring career as a player prior to his conversion to coaching. Burton, who pitched at Trevecca from 2001-2004, returned from Tommy John surgery in 2004 and posted a career-best 8-1 record with a 3.93 ERA, compiling a career record of 13-10. After the devastating arm injury Burton spent a year helping the Trojans as a scout and essentially starting his coaching career. Burton had a memorable and gutsy performance against Birmingham Southern in 2001. Burton threw the complete game, picking up the win in a 4-2 decision against the eventual national champions.
Burton, from Smith County in Tennessee, transferred to Trevecca after a two-year stay at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tenn.
Burton served as a graduate assistant at Trevecca in 2005 when the Trojans posted a 47-16 record, won the TranSouth Conference title, and advanced to regional play for the first time.
Burton's 2007 pitching staff led the TranSouth Conference in five statistical categories, and the 2008 staff led the conference in four categories. Trojan hurlers broke three school records in 2007 and two in 2008.
Several Trojans hurlers have earned honors under Burton's mentoring the last two seasons. Luke Brown (All-TranSouth and Region-XI First Team) who led the NAIA (2007) in wins (16) and set the TNU record for wins in a season. Eric Van Slyke, who signed as a non-drafted free agent with the Kansas City Royals, was named the TranSouth, Region-XI and National Pitcher of the Week on several occasions during his TNU career. Steven Brown set the Trevecca career and season record for saves. He was named All-Region XI and All-TranSouth for his efforts. Nick Shoup was named first team All-TranSouth, and Wesley Griggs was named second team. Griggs earned the Region-XI and TranSouth Pitcher of the Week honor this season. Freshman Ben Johnson was named TranSouth Pitcher of the Week.
Burton has been a successful summer league coach. He spent the 2007 summer coaching a Sandlott Wood Bat League team named the Trojans. The team captured the regular season crown (23-13 record), won the National League title, and placed third in the Sandlott Tournament. Burton's 18 U summer teams (2003-2005) have a combined 111-63 record with two league championships (2005) and have 20 players in collegiate baseball. His 2008 team is 12-6 and in first place.
Jonathan resides in Nashville, Tenn.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A housekeeper has pleaded guilty to state court charges in the theft of a Benjamin Franklin bust taken from a home in suburban Philadelphia.
Forty-seven-year-old Mobile, Ala., resident Andrea Lawton already faced up to 20 years in federal prison for pleading guilty in December to interstate transportation of stolen property for allegedly fleeing with the bust to Alabama in August.
Monday's plea in Montgomery County Common Pleas court dealt with the theft of the bust itself from a home in Lower Merion Township. The owner has claimed the bust, which was broken when authorities recovered it, is worth about $3 million.
Lawton's defense attorney Michael John says he's hoping any prison term Lawton receives for the state court charges will run concurrently to her pending federal sentence.

Giddy Over "Glee"!
Diane Mizota: I know what you're thinking. "If I have to watch another 'High School Musical,' I'm going to stab my eyes out with a hot fork." But before you relegate "Glee" to the tween set, I BEG you to check it out. Singing comparisons aside, it's like the movie "Election" -- in "HSM" clothing. It's funny, smart, and has a lot of heart without being cheesy.
"Glee" is the underdog story of a ragtag high-school glee club. Set in the brutal caste system of high school, we find that the adult dynamics of the teachers haven't evolved much beyond those of the students, and that the rules of high school still apply. Creator Ryan Murphy strikes a tone that is irreverent and quirky, and transforms tried-and-true high-school stereotypes into deliciously flawed characters.
Rarely do I catch myself smiling ear to ear while watching television, but "Glee" got me. It's a show you can watch with your kids that's both edgy and sweet, with a genius pop soundtrack. ("Don't Worry, Be Happy" on steel drums? A high-school choir singing "Rehab"? "I Kissed a Girl" as an audition song? BRILLIANT.)
In an age when everyone feels entitled to be a judge of talent, this show is perfectly poised to tap into that -- but slyly invites you in to what being an artist is all about: passion. It's not about money or being cool; it's about expression and doing what you love, what makes you feel alive. (OK, now my inner theater geek is showing. But it is that good.) Seriously, watch this show!! You won't regret it.
|Diane Mizota is an accomplished TV host, actor, writer and producer who began her career as a professional dancer. She is a first-time mom who currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and toddler son.

Caturday: Gabby at work
Maybe she's checking owner/photographer Jim Koepnick's bank account, retouching a photo of her beautiful self, or just wondering what this thing is that her human spends a lot of time staring at, but Gabby seems to be looking at something very intently.
Koepnick says that Gabby likes to jump up in his chair when he gets up to "see what I was doing." Perhaps I need to see if I can train Ruby the Internet Famous Cat to do editing work for me...
We'd love to see photos of your favorite feline soaking up the warmth of an Apple product, chasing a Magic Mouse, or just being a general nuisance while you're attempting to work on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Please let us know via our feedback page and please remember that your cat photo has to have some sort of connection to Apple or its products. For security reasons we can't accept inbound attachments, so you should host the photo (Dropbox, Flickr, iPhoto Journals, etc.) and send us the link.
Many thanks to Jim Koepnick and Gabby...

Today too many blogs are being created, I feel lost in the information and inspiration. There can only be so many different showcases featuring (insert number here) Examples of Brilliant Illustrations. I understand the internet has endless information, and we are just trying to showcase that. I would just like to go to a few destinations to get all the information.
What I am trying to say is the blogosphere is being over saturated with design blogs. I am writing today to bring up a realistic solution.
Let's contribute to already established blogs instead of creating new blogs.
Read the rest of the article: Stop Launching Blogs, Start Contributing
Another really good read.
Launching a really good web magazine takes a lot, and I mean A LOT, of work: getting authors to contribute, getting a steady stream of really good, relevant-not-outdated content, etc… It's a steady job, not one you post to once, sit back and relax. If you decided to open up shop, you must know that you are competing against some really great ones out there.

The Cali singer champions an R&B renaissance
By Larry Gilchrist
Special to MSN Music
Miguel (©RCA)
Miguel doesn't make your father's R&B music -- but rather your grandfather's. The California native, who released "Kaleidoscope Dream" in early October, is one of a few R&B soulsters who are looking to change the current perceptions of the genre by experimenting with different sounds and becoming more emotionally vulnerable than some of their predecessors. With his current single, "Adorn," sitting atop Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, he may be on to something. We recently caught up Miguel to discuss his sophomore set, creative freedom and this new "R&B vanguard."
MSN Music: How does "Kaleidoscope Dream" differ from [debut album] "All I Want Is You"?
Miguel: This album is a portrait of my lifestyle versus a portrait of my romantic life. "All I Want Is You" was about girls that I dated and fell in love with. This album covers a much broader range and is riskier. It's more dangerous. It highlights my eccentricities more than "All I Want Is You" and it makes it more exciting.
How much did the success of your debut influence that freedom?
The radio success of "All I Want Is You" and the overall success helped the people that were at the label that were fighting for me -- to allow me to be creative. It was one of the tools they could always bring up if anyone ever questioned my direction. Not only was I able to spearhead what the album sounded like sonically and lyrically, I also spearheaded the overall art design and direction of the album, even down to the way that the album was delivered to the people. They allowed me to do my own thing with releasing [the] album in three pieces digitally. It was the success of "All I Want Is You" that enabled that, and it's much appreciated. It just goes to show that hard work, determination and creativity go a very, very long way.
Did that success become a double-edged sword? Did it also create more pressure for this album?
To be honest, it wasn't a double-edged sword. It just felt natural. At the end of the day, any artist, as long as they're proud of their art and they believe in it, it makes any outside opinion null and void. Not necessarily null and void but you don't take any opinion personal -- good or bad -- because you're proud of the effort that you made.
Was selecting "Adorn" as the first single from this album a part of that freedom?
To be completely honest, when Mark Pitts, my A&R rep, said, "You know 'Adorn' has to be the first single." I said, "You really think so?" I was kind of taken back. It was a pleasant surprise because even after listening to the song in the car, I thought, "How wild would it be for this to be a single?" And low and behold, I was getting this call from Mark Pitts. I think the fans really settled it, and today it's been my most impactful record. It's still really connecting on a lot of different levels, which is really dope and kind of crazy to watch at the same time. It's amazing to have something so personal become so public and, at the same time, become a part of other people's lives.
Bing: Music and videos from Miguel
You and fellow artists like Frank Ocean and the Weeknd have been dubbed the new "R&B vanguard." What do you think of that categorization?
I welcome what that suggests more than anything. I welcome that title in that it suggests a creative approach, simply because that was the approach. Hopefully, we don't have to be categorized. Hopefully, we start to shape the expectation of current R&B. I really do believe we're in the midst of a renaissance, and hopefully we inspire other artists who are on the brink of releasing or debuting or breaking to step outside of the expectations and limitations that have been placed on R&B. It's become such a stereotype more than a genre.
We've forgotten that rhythm and blues and soul inspired artists in genres like rock and hip-hop. Bands like Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Brothers Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, even Hall & Oates -- I can keep going. These were all R&B groups that were rooted in soul but were still experimental and had their own identity in the midst of it. It wasn't like they all sounded the same, looked the same and dressed the same. They were all doing their own thing but they were still soulful. I think we're in the midst of reminding people that that's what R&B really is. It's a genre, not a stereotype anymore.
That ties in perfectly to my last question. Artists are often defined by their live show, and you're on tour now. What can fans expect from a Miguel show?
It's a dangerous, enthralling, captivating and dynamic show. Every element -- every song, the set list, my band members -- is there to serve the purpose of connecting with the audience and creating an experience that's unforgettable. More than anything, I have always been a fan of great live performers. It's the best way to get to know an artist's conviction and who they are as an individual because there's no hiding. And to that effect, the show is really about me being vulnerable. It's about living in the moment and giving of myself in the hopes that I have the energy reciprocated in order to create a moment that is shared between stage and audience so it doesn't feel like there's any separation. Not every moment has to be that way, but there are specific moments where I hope to really, really capture the attention, the thought and the intensity and have people take it with them. That's the goal, so expect that when you come to see. Expect to be engaged.
Keep up with MSN Music. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Miguel perform quite a few times.
I am so intrigued by his creativity, the way his parents influenced him all around, his relationship with Naz, his wifey of quite a few years and his fan base which is a very mixed demographic; he is a genuinely nice person and it's something about him that makes you want to know more; he is on fire and definitely on his way to being a household name.

Darra, Queensland
Brisbane, Queensland
Shops in Darra.
|3,838 (2011 census)[1]
|14 km (9 mi) from Brisbane GPO
|City of Brisbane
|State electorate(s)
|Electoral district of Inala
Electoral district of Mount Ommaney
|Federal Division(s)
|Division of Oxley
Darra is an older Brisbane suburb located about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) southwest of Brisbane central business district. It is known for its high migrant population. The first subdivisions in the area occurred in 1864.[2]
The houses are mainly of the Queenslander style built in the 1940s and 1950s. The majority of blocks in Darra are large enough to be subdivided, which is becoming popular in the suburb, hence making room for more modern homes. In the last few years, a property developer bought a vast tract of vacant, government land. As a result, there are now many new homes and townhouses built in Darra, which has increased its population and its geographical boundaries.
Surrounding suburbs include Seventeen Mile Rocks, Oxley, Sinnamon Park, Sumner, Richlands, Jamboree Heights and Mount Ommaney.
In 1954, the Darra RSL Memorial Hall was opened.[2] Sumner was known as Darra until 1969 when it became a separate suburb. Vietnamese refugees began to settle in the area in 1975.
Darra railway station provides access to regular Citytrain services to Brisbane, Ipswich and Rosewood via Ipswich. Darra railway station is set to become the main line out to Springfield Lakes. The Darra railway station is the name given to the suburb it came to serve. As the railway was built through the area a stop was allocated at a distance of "nine miles forty four chain", halfway between the planned Oxley railway station and Wacol railway station. The origin of the name Darra is not known for sure, however it most likely comes from a Scottish railway town as some of the railway planners responsible for naming stops were Scottish engineers.[2] The station was one terminus for the first of Brisbane's electric rail lines, linking to Ferny Grove railway station in 1979.[2]
The Centenary Freeway and the Ipswich Motorway provide convenient access to the Brisbane CBD. There are also buses that travel to surrounding suburbs such as Inala and Mount Ommaney.
Darra has many Vietnamese restaurants and grocery stores. Opposite the railway station in Railway parade there are three Vietnamese grocery stores, and a Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant named Cam Ranh, colloquially known to locals as the "Welcome welcome my friend" restaurant. This is due to the restaurant owner's greeting and speech style. Nearby there are three other Vietnamese/Chinese restaurants. Situated in Darra is a sporting club featuring many indoor sports, plus a Fernwood gymnasium in Bellwood Street. These sporting facilities and a bowls club are both conveniently located not far from Darra railway station. Darra is close to the Centenary suburbs and conveniently located near the Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre, with its many retail and commercial facilities. Darra also features a shopping centre in Monier Road with Woolworths, a liquor store, hairdresser, chemist and post office. In Monier Road there is also the Monier Rd Hotel, a modern establishment which provides dining, bar and pokies.
Darra has two primary schools, one state and one Catholic private school ('Darra State School' and 'Our Lady of the Sacred Heart') . Both occupy blocks fronted by Darra Station Rd and Scotts rd, and both are conveniently located near the railway station. Because the suburb has two primary schools, it is becoming more popular with younger families moving to the area.
Urban planning[edit]
Overall plans include the further redevelopment of the industrial park, which should provide an injection of capital into the community and further upgrade local infrastructure and community facilities. The Brisbane City Council has been active in rejuvenating the streetscapes of the Darra suburb as well as neighbouring recreational and parkland facilities in Jindalee and Sinnamon Park.
In the 2011 Census the population of Darra is 3,838, 48.2% female and 51.8% male.
The median/average age of the Darra population is 32 years of age, 5 years below the Australian average.
48.1% of people living in Darra were born in Australia. The other top responses for country of birth were Vietnam 15.8%, New Zealand 3.4%, India 2.9%, Philippines 2%, Samoa 1.2%.
45.1% of people speak English as their first language 23.1% Vietnamese, 4.1% Arabic, 2.2% Samoan, 1.3% Tagalog, 1.3% Spanish.

"Before we begin, in the interest of full disclosure...."
You guys are so cute. All that bending over backward just because you received a review copy of a book? It's endearing — I really mean that — but hardly necessary. Every book, movie, music album, video game, etc. that gets reviewed anywhere involves someone getting a review copy. It's not a conflict of interest. I used to write/edit for a small local print publication, and our office received, I dunno, 50-60 free books a week. It's not a big deal guys, really. Ebert gets to see lots of free movies; that doesn't mean the studios expect him to only write positive reviews. (They hope, certainly, but that's neither here nor there.)
I'm just sad you guys have to give away your meager press perks. :(

Do you know why I run?
I started running as an escape. To run away from it all.
Sometimes it's the only action I can take against something that has hurt me.
It feels like I can battle the pain inside me, by replacing it with a different kind of pain.
The more upset I am the further I run.
The angrier I am the faster I run.
Sometimes I wish I could keep running.
I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because 'romantic' doesn't mean 'sugary.' It's dark and tormented - the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can't attain. Catherine Breillat (via hotcupofchai)

I wonder if the killer of Jake's dad was charged with a hate crime?
There is no justifying murder. Jake England murdered 3 innocent black people. He deserves prison. But, where was the outrage for Jake Englands father, 2 years ago? England says below 'he is gone in the head.' Obviously, he acted out in grief and insanity.
Jake England's father was murdered two years ago in Tulsa by Pernell Jefferson.
Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32. They were taken into custody in Tulsa. (Free Republic)
This happened under the Obama watch. We will have to investigate if his fathers murder was named a race/hate crime. Because these murders WILL be named racial/hate crimes. Things HAVE to change, or we will see more and more of this insanity. People all over are calling for the death of this man. If he gets death, its only fair if his fathers murderer gets death.

MS-13 Gang Seen as Growing Threat
Authorities target group in Texas and across U.S.
It's a sentiment shared by police in Dallas' suburban neighbors.
"We're not seeing a lot of crime directly attributable to MS-13 members. It's minimal," said David Tull, spokesman for the Irving Police Department. "We're not in denial. We know they're out there.
"We hear on the street that someone is coming in and we'll see graffiti around town, but unless we can get them in the light at the right time, we don't get a chance to get them."
Said Patrick Murphy of the Carrollton police: "It's really difficult to say how many MS-13 gang members we have. ... They come and go constantly."
That fluidity -- members moving among cliques and back and forth to Central America -- makes it hard to pin down numbers in any community with any accuracy, police said.
"This is a gang that operates across borders. It's common to see members of the L.A. clique work in El Salvador, or Salvadoran members operating in New York, recruiting or sharing tactics," said Brian Trucheon, director of the FBI's MS-13 National Gang Task Force, created in 2004. "The scary thing for us is how quickly they can evolve to move around obstacles law enforcement throws up."
Gang's beginnings
MS-13 began in the Ramparts section of Los Angeles in the mid-1980s to protect refugees of El Salvador's civil war from other street gangs. Mara Salvatrucha is street slang for "Salvadoran guard posse." The tattoos gang members use as a mark of identity and pride invariably involve the initials MS and the number 13, a designation of an earlier alliance with a Southern California gang.
A 2005 Department of Homeland Security gang threat assessment identified MS-13 as one of the largest and most violent gangs in the country. That February, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents launched a national sweep -- Operation Community Shield -- targeting MS-13 members. It was later expanded to include other violent gangs. More than 3,000 gangsters were eventually rounded up, one third of them affiliated with MS-13.
The gang's terrifying reputation includes a callous disregard for life and a willingness to use extreme violence with weapons ranging from machetes to semi-automatic rifles.
"Machetes, decapitations and sexual violence against victims are a common tool of intimidation," said Alonzo Pena, the ICE special agent in charge for South Texas. "They are growing rapidly and pose a significant risk to our communities. This is a gang we can't allow to continue to grow."
Intelligence gathering
As a policy, ICE agents conduct face-to-face interviews with any member of the group arrested in Texas in an attempt to gather detailed intelligence.
One sign of the group's increased organization: Recently, MS-13 leaders have told members to remove tattoos from their faces, necks and arms to avoid notice from law enforcement. During interviews with agents, MS-13 members now deny involvement and insist their tattoos are residue of past involvement.
"We're sure that's just disinformation they're feeding us," Mr. Pena said. "The rule of MS-13 is once in, always in."
Houston, with its large Central American immigrant community, is the group's center of activity in Texas, authorities said.
"It doesn't surprise us that they are coming in greater numbers across the border," said Shawna Dunlap, an FBI special agent in Houston. She said Houston saw an increase in what she called "high-profile" gang activity last year, including extortion, robbery and kidnapping.
"About 50 percent of those we see in Houston have been deported multiple times," she said.

What it's like to owe $20,000 in card debt
To some, that sounds like a crazy amount of debt. Lots of Americans can relate, though. Here's a look at how they built that debt, and how they can get rid of it.
Living with $20,000 in credit card debt probably isn't in most people's financial plans, nor does it sound particularly enjoyable. But for many Americans, a debt load like that or even larger is an everyday reality, and chipping away at a high balance can be an overwhelming task.
The first and sometimes hardest step is to make a plan for paying it down. Still, just more than half of those with more than $20,000 in debt say it's extremely likely they'll be able to start paying down that debt this year, despite the fact that 61 percent said it's extremely important they have a plan in place to do so in 2014. That's based on the Credit.com survey Americans and Credit Card Debt, which included responses of 2,223 adults collected online from Jan. 1-9.
"Getting started is one thing, but being able to follow through with things that come up in life is another challenge," says Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com's director of consumer education. "You have to have a plan that takes into account the unexpected expenses that may come up in that time. Interest rates could go up, for example. Your income could change."
Less than 5 percent of respondents to the survey (105 of them) said they had more than $20,000 in outstanding credit card debt. In fact, 44 percent said they don't have any.
Dealing with big numbers
The weight of someone's debt load depends on more than just a dollar figure. It's quite possible some of the respondents with thousands of dollars of debt have the means to pay it down (15 percent said they have a manageable amount of debt), but even those struggling to fight the debt beast are capable of defeating it. With big undertakings like this, Detweiler says it can be a good idea to seek credit counseling.
The primary factors behind the large amount of debt varied greatly among this sample, but the most popular answer (26 percent) was that they used credit cards because they don't have sufficient income to cover their expenses. Whether it was to fund a business venture, pay medical bills, get an education or indulge in shopping sprees, these people used a lot of credit cards to do it, and they realize they've had a debt issue for a while now.
Forty percent of this group said they have three to five credit cards (the most common response), and the next most popular amount was six to 10 cards (25 percent). Some respondents have felt that they have had too much credit card debt for more than five years.
Moving forward
So what's keeping these people from getting rid of their credit card debt? Income was cited as a huge problem for this group, but other things could be hurting them more.
The survey results indicate some potential issues beyond cash flow. The majority of this group has never considered credit card or debt consolidation, credit counseling or bankruptcy, which could save them money in the long run and help them repair their finances. Even more surprising: 86 percent said they have been successful at paying down credit card debt in the past. It's unclear exactly what that means, but it could indicate a debt cycle. Perhaps there's a lack of awareness, too. About a third of these respondents said they think they have as much credit card debt as most Americans, but at least in this survey, they're very much outliers on the high end of the spectrum.
The best thing these consumers can do is follow through on their intentions to start combating their debt in 2014 (and for those who said they weren't planning on it, they should reconsider). Detweiler says some people in this situation avoid taking action out of fear of damaging their credit scores, but the age range of this group trends toward middle-age and near retirement, and if debt is keeping them from planning for the future, credit scores shouldn't be the priority.
"It's a significant amount of debt, and it's probably keeping you from doing other things with your money," she said.
You can always check your credit reports and credit scores for free — you can get your free credit reports once a year from the three major credit reporting agencies, and you can see your credit scores for free using Credit.com's Credit Report Card. The Credit Report Card is updated once a month, and it will show how different aspects of your finances impact your scores (like high debt usage, for instance).
"It's very doable, getting out of this kind of debt," Detweiler says. "It usually means you're going to have to make some tough choices about your spending. Consider reaching out to a credit counseling agency. If you don't have some sort of plan, it's just going to continue to grow."
More from Credit.com
After a divorce, I ended up with a roughly $50k debt commitment, most of which in credit-card debts racked up by my former spouse. Most interest rates on those were between 20% and 29.5% due to none/late payments, so I was Royally screwed if I tried to pay that off piecemeal and from my regular income. I talked to my Credit Union and we came up with an unsecured loan over 36 Months at 9.5%. I immediately used my 'Rewards' points to pay that down to 9% and aggressively and automatically paid down the loan and applied anything that came my way towards cutting down the principal. Bonuses, garage-sale revenues, extra-jobs, Newspaper-routes. You name it, I did it and used it to pay the debt down.
Result; within 20 months, I retired the loan, clipped any credit-cards (but kept all open.) I had and am now totally debt-free with a credit-rating in the upper 700s (on all three Credit Reporting Agencies.) It was at times painful, but now and with the peace of mind of being totally debt-free; totally worth it.

Wanted a house on the waterfront. Wanted a new Corvette. Settled for a condo and a used SC430. No debt. Charge everything on Discover, pay it off every month. Receive about $400 every year as a cash back bonus. Still want the Corvette and will have enough disposable cash to outright buy it this summer. We are retired, have a good nest egg and can do what we want, within reason. Some of it is being fortunate to work in the same field and with the same company for 30 yrs. Not every one has that option. Were also fortunate with no major medical expenses or layoffs. However, the majority of this is maintaining a budget and sticking to it. Parents were raised during the depression and taught us that putting a little away each week will get us over the rough spots in life. That wisdom still holds true today.

Avon Adds Cravath for FCPA Probe's Final Stages - Corruption Currents - WSJ
By Samuel Rubenfeld and Christopher M. Matthews
Avon Products Inc. added law firm Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP to its legal team as the cosmetics company inches closer to resolving a foreign-bribery probe, people familiar with the matter said.
The company, which has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars in legal costs relating to the investigation, brought Cravath on to disclose the findings of an internal probe to shareholders and U.S. authorities as they negotiate a resolution to the case, one of the people said.
"We hired additional counsel," said Avon spokeswoman Jennifer Dwyer Vargas, who declined further comment.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Avon Chief Executive Sheri McCoy, frustrated with the pace of Avon's internal probe, had pushed to bring in a second law firm for advice on the progress of the investigation and interviewed other firms.

10 people who could direct the next Bond movie
Christopher Nolan
The Dark Knight helmer could make any movie he wanted following the massive success of his Batman series and might balk at attaching himself to another blockbuster franchise where he would essentially be a director for hire.
With the right degree of artistic control, though, he'd be ideally placed to pick up where Mendes left off and take the series on an intriguing new trajectory.

Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Watching the new NXT it's really clear that Triple H grew up watching "Superstars of Wrestling" in the 80's. The shows have almost the identical format - squash matches with the eventual winner always introduced second (and with the loser often "already in the ring"), filmed promos to introduce new personalities, and an interview or two out on/near the entrance ramp. The only thing missing is a Piper's Pit/Barbershop/Brother Love Show segment.
While the show's production values are a huge step up on both the old NXT and FCW, there are still some "minor league" qualities showing through. J.R., as professional as he is, most often sounds like he read the background on these wrestlers 10 minutes before the broadcast. I was quite surprised to hear him call Seth Rollins's finisher by its indy name ("Blackout", as in Tyler Black). As others have said the ring announcing was awful (did she call him GINGER Mahal?), and it was disappointing to hear Chris Russo turn back the clock about 25 years by claiming that Samoans have thicker skulls than the rest of us.
Worst of all was Richie Steamboat's voice-over for his video package. How did this make it past the production team??? Damien Sandow would have a field day! Richie, your father was FAMOUS, not INFAMOUS.
Well known for some bad quality or deed.
Wicked; abominable: "infamous misconduct".

Found September 12, 2012 on Monkey with a Halo:
PLAYERS: Mike Trout, Brandon McCarthy, Ervin Santana, Michael Young, Miguel Cabrera, Torii Hunter, Peter Bourjos, Vernon Wells, Kole Calhoun, Mike Scioscia, Mark Trumbo, Jeff Mathis
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays
The September 12th, 2012 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim including McCarthy released from the hospital, Santana making the wrong kind of home run history, Mike Trout's MVP chances and much more... The Story: Brandon McCarthy has been released from the hospital and tweets hilariously in the process. The Monkey Says: What makes his unfortunate situation even worse is that he is so damned likeable. The Story: Ervin Santana is making gopherball history. The Monkey Says: This is actually kind of par for the course for Ervin though. I mean, this is a bit extreme but he has always been prone to allowing home runs and that was only exacerbated by mechanical problems. The Story: According to one columnist, Mike Trout's MVP case is waning because of a not totally awesome month of August. The Monkey Says: Yes, that's right, a few weeks of an very nice .855 OPS mixed into an otherwise phenomenal season somehow disqualifies him. Since it is a Rangers reporter, I suppose we should just be glad that he didn't try and build a case for Michael Young winning the award because intangibles. The Story: The MVP race is between Miguel Cabrera and MIke Trout. The Monkey Says: It only is if you insist on their being a race. Really, it should be Trout in a landslide and I will explain why later today. The Story: A group of fans has started bringing a sign to Angel home games to coax the team into keeping Torii Hunter after this season. The Monkey Says: I am all for it, at the right price, of course. The real issue is that they still need to figure out what to do with Peter Bourjos if they bring Hunter back. It would be very short-sighted to trade him away in order to make room for a player who might only have one good season left in him. The Angels do have other outfield prospects (and Vernon Wells) on the way in the near future (like Kole Calhoun), but none have the potential that Bourjos does. It is a good problem to have, but it is one they need to figure out. The Story: Mike Scioscia has a tough call to make on Mark Trumbo. The Monkey Says: I'm sorry, but it is time to bench him, for at least a week. Vernon Wells is playing well enough and the team can't keep burning ABs on Trumbo with him performing at the kind of level that even Jeff Mathis thinks is a joke. I think he is battling both physical problems and mechanical problems and it is pretty clear by now that he isn't going to play his way through any of those issues. The Story: Mike Trout's chances of making it into the Hall of Fame could be hindered by his fish-like surname. The Monkey Says: You can't argue with science. [follow]

The Effects of the Financial Crisison Public-Private Partnerships
AbstractThe paper investigates the impact of the global financial crisis on public-private partnerships (PPPs) and the circumstances under which providing support to new and existing projects is justified. Based on country evidence, cost of and access to finance are found to be the main channels of transmission of the financial crisis, affecting in particular pipeline PPP projects. Possible measures to help PPPs during the crisis include contract extensions, output-based subsidies, revenue enhancements and step-in rights. To limit government''s exposure to risk, while preserving private partner''s efficiency incentives, intervention measures should be consistent with the wider fiscal policy stance, be contingent on specific circumstances, and be adequately costed and budgeted. Governments should be compensated for taking on additional risk.
