Facebook aids FBI in cyber gang takedown
Criminal ring caused $850m in damages
SOCIAL NETWORK Facebook played a role in the takedown of a crime ring that used malicious software to steal money and cause havoc.
Facebook worked with the US Department of Justice including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as well as a range of law enforcement organisations around the world.
Together their actions led to the arrests of 10 people from the UK, US, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, New Zealand, and Peru.
The crime ring was using the Yahos malware and Butterfly botnet to steal money and personal information. It is estimated that the 10 people arrested caused over $850m in losses through the botnet.
Facebook helped because Yahos had targeted its users between 2010 and 2012. Its security systems were able to locate affected accounts and remove the malware.
There was big money involved and a lot of investigators. According to the FBI the investigations called on field offices in Albany, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, El Paso, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New Haven, New Orleans, Norfolk, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, San Diego, San Juan, St. Louis, Tampa, and Washington.
Also aiding were the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and the US Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii, the Western District of Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. In the UK the Serious Organised Crime Agency was also a partner.
Hardware has been seized in the raids. The authorities recommend that people keep their security software up to date and disconnect computers when not in use to avoid becoming victims. µ

1959. This application June 25, 1962, Ser. No. 206,138 12 Claims. (Cl. 267-1) This invention is concerned with the creation of a panel structure which may be mass produced for a wide variety of applications because it is characterized by a combination of high strength, adaptability to contouring into compound curvatures and controllable resiliency.
This application is a continuation of my application entitled, --Panel Having Multi Directional Flexibility, Serial No. 850,900, filed November 4, 1959, now abandoned.
A panel having these characteristics has application in a wide variety of fields such as the manufacture of furniture, architectural installations and others. For the sake of brevity, this invention will be described as applied to This, however, should not be interpreted to obscure its utility or significance in other fields.
In the furniture field, the necessity of high strength panels or shells having compound curvature exists in a wide variety of applications. Heretofore, this requirement has been met by panels or shells formed in specially shaped molds capable of producing the panel in the par- 'ticular curvature required. Such panels have been manufactured both from Wood laminates and molded and laminated synthetic resin materials. Where the material was metal, mating dies have frequently been used. Such molds and dies are exceedingly expensive. 'Despite this, the resulting product has lacked certain desired characteristics. This invention provides a product having these characteristics and in many cases do so at a lower cost.
For some designs, the panel of this invention may be mass-produced as a basic material. In such cases a material reduction in tooling costs per unit of production may be realized. Such has not heretofore been possible in molded shell constructions Some designs will require the panel of this invention to be specially molded for the particular design. This, of course, will eliminate some, or a major portion, of the economies otherwise obtainable through mass production of a panel of constant characteristics. However, a large number of designs are adapted to utilize mass produced panels, obtaining the benefit of maximum manufacturing economies.
Particularly in the furniture field, the characteristic of resiliency is essential. However, this resiliency must be combined with high strength if the product is to be durable. Particularly where the shell is to be applied to a chair, it is normally necessary that the chair shell, as a whole, be resilient so that it does not provide zones of high resistance to the users body because such zones are exceedingly uncomfortable. Further, it should be capable of controlled and limited flexing so that it may, to a limited degree, conform to the users body to afiord proper comfort. When this is done, the necessity for thick or deep padding, frequently referred to in the furniture field as overstuffing, is eliminated because such padding is used only as a means of cushioning the irregular contours of the human body from the rigid inflexibility of conventional furniture structures. Normally, fumiture utilizing this invention will require only a thin, resilient pad. The pad need only have suflicient thickness to give a slight softness to the surface rather than the depth necessary to eliminate basically rigid inflexibility of the furniture structure as a whole.
' invention.
The characteristic of flexibility has another important result. Flexible panels inherently distribute the stress loads in the panels, eliminating zones of stress concentration. This uniformity of stress distribution permits a panel of thinner material and lighter weight to be applied under a given load condition without sacrifice in the overall strength and durability of the end product. This not only reduces costs but adds to the useful life of the product.
This invention gives flexibility control either throughout the entire panel or in selected zones or areas. The former has been accomplished in previous products to a very limited degree but the latter has not heretofore been practical in any construction. In this invention this control may be effected either in the manufacture of the panel itself or later by restricting the action of the hinges between the incremental areas or pans. The former method is most applicable to panels specially molded for their particular application. In either case, the ability to control resiliency either as a whole or in selected areas of the panel is a marked advance in the various fields to which this invention may be applied. It is especially so in the furniture field.
In applications for which the panel is mass produced, this invention permits the panel to be fabricated and the control of the resiliency of the panel to be varied to fit its selected use at the point of application of the panel to the product. Thus, a panel of uniform design may be varied to have a wide variety of resiliency either throughout the entire panel or in selected areas depending upon the use to which the panel is to be put. In such cases, this leads to a very important economy in the use of this A single panel design which may be massproduced can be readily and economically adapted to a wide variety of applications at a low cost. Thus, among other savings arising from this invention, is the spreading of the amortization of the molding dies over a much greater volume of production. Further, the dies may be used to capacity because the resulting product is not specialized to a single use.
Further, this invention permits the resiliency of the panel to be eliminated after a predetermined degree of deflection has been obtained. In other words, the mechanism producing the resiliency can be made to lock up after the desired degree of deflection has occurred.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will be immediately understood by those who work with the problem of curved panels or shells upon reading the following specification and the accompanying drawings.

Basically, this invention consists of a panel of indeterminate width and length, this being limitedby the use to which it is to be put and the capacity of the equipment used to fabricate it. The panel might be best described as having a waflie pattern since it is composed of a plurality of depressed flat areas separated from each other on .all sides by narrow, continuous ridges. The opposite face of the panel is characterized by a plurality of flat areas separated from each other on all sides by narrow channels. The flat areas act as structural supports while the apices of the ridges act as hinges. Since the ridges are arranged in at least two groups which intercept each other, the hinges maybe used to contour the panel in one or more directions.
Referring specifically to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, it will be seen that the panel 10, as manufactured, consists of a sheet having a pair of faces 11 and 12. These faces are spaced apart a significant distance thus characterizing the panel with a structurally important thickness. This spacing must be such that the axis A of neutral stress (FIG. 2) is substantially spaced from both Without this, the panel cross sectionto form a structural member. The panel is characterized by a plurality of flat bottomed pans 13 arranged in a geometric pattern. Each of the pans 13 is surrounded by a raised ridge or hinge 14. The hinges 14 are arranged in at least two groups, the hinges of one group 14 "intersecting with the hinges 14a of the other group. The outer surface of the apices of the hinges 14 are arranged in a common plane which forms the face 11 of the panel 12 are separted on all sides from each other by deep, narrow channels 15 which constitute the inside vor de- I ever, it is important that the bottoms of the pans, when reinforced by the sides of the channels, be rigid and capable of resisting any tendency to buckle whenthe .I'rorn one zone to another throughout the panel.
panel is contoured and placed under the expected workinn ad. Thus, the relationship between the width of the channels 15 and the marginal dimensions of the bottoms of the pans measured on the face 12 will be selected for a particular application on the basis of several factors. These factors will include the wall thickness and characteristics of the material from which the panel is molded. It will, to some extent, be dictated by the degree of contour which is to be given to the panel. It will also, in part, be determined by the spacing between the faces 11 and 12. This spacing will, in part, determine the flexibility of the panel.. The greater this spacing, the more flexible the panel since the greater is the moment arm about which the hinges are operated. However, in all instances the depths of the channels must be such that all flexing of the panels occurs either at the apex of the hinges or in the sides of the channels and even where there is some flexing of the side walls of the channels, it must be a very minor portion of the total flexing.
When the panel is flexed so that the face 12'is on the inside or concave side of the curvature, the bottoms of the pans 13 become the compression members of an I- beam like structure and the apices of the hinges 14 and 14a become the tension members of the I-beam like structure. The sides of the channels are then'basically in shear. In this application, the apices of the channels form a network of strong, continuous, tension members throughout the panelsince they are continuous in both directions and, therefore, form uninterrupted means of supporting tension loads.
The flexibility of the panel can be controlledin a number of diflerent ways, all of which, however, effect control by varying the action of the hinges. Where the flexibility is to be controlled by the characteristics of the panel as molded or otherwise fabricated, this can be effected by varying the depth or width of the channels. It can also be done by changing the slope of the channel walls. The size and shape of the pans may be varied. The thickness and inherent stiffness of thematerial can be varied. It will be obvious that increasing the depth of the channels will increase the moment arm of the bending loads applied to the hinges. This will increase the'fiexibility of the panel. Varying the width of the channels will increase the efiective radius of the hinges thereby making them easier to actuate.
Flexibility may alsobe limited by the lock-up feature of this panel. Lock-up may be functionally defined as-the degree of contour applied to the panel necessary to close the open faces of the channels between the pans. Lock-up occurs when the open face of a channel is closed andvthe adjacent pans abut'each other to form a continuous, rigid compression beam. At this point further flexing .of the panel cannot occur. This feature is illustrated in FIG. 14 in which the bottoms of the pans 13 are shown in abutting relationship closing the: open faces of the channels 15. The point at which lock-up will occur maybe controlled by the width of the channels or the slope of the channel walls. Both expedients determine the width of the gap which must be closed before lock-up occurs.- The lock-up feature ofthis invention is highly significant. Many times it is desirable to have flexing until a predetermined degree of deflection has occurred and thereafter to limit or completely eliminate further deflection. This invention accomplishes this. An example of such a situation is a cushion in which .initialdeflection is necessary to permit shaping. to the users anatomy but-once this has been accomplished high resistance is necessary to provide firm and comfortable support.
Where the panel is fabricated for a particular operation, the flexibility and point of lock-up can be varied Thus in some areas of such a panel the width of the channels may be increased or decreased and their depth may be changed. Even the thickness of the material itself may be varied.
panel deflection can be effected.
Such an arrangement is illustrated in FIG. 1-5. Here {the panel Lila has pans 13 of ,one size and pans 13a of a larger size. Certain of channels 15 are narrow and deep These wiil flex readily but will lock-up when only a small degree of curvature has been given to the panel. The channels 154: are wider which will not materially afiect the flexibility of the panel but will allow substantially greater deflection before lock-up occurs. On the other hand, the wall thickness of the material around the channel 15b is substantially increased. Since the channei 15b has the same width as channel 15, lock-up will occur at the same degree of deflection. However, the increased material thickness will materially restrict the flexing of the hinge 14 thus stiffening the panel and requiririg a greater loading to produce a predetermined amount of panel deflection.
It will also be understood that by varying the width and depth of the channels and the wall thickness of the material in selected areas of .a panel, zonal control of Such an arrangement is illustrated by panel b in FIG. 16. In the panel 1% the wall thickness of the material for the pans 130 is less than that of the pans 13d. Also, the depth of the channels 151) is less than that of either the channels c or 15a. Obviously deflection will occur more rapidly about the hinges of the channels 15d. This in turn will largely control the contour assumed by the panel under operating loads. This is very desirable in many applications such as springs for cushions.
Where the panel is mass-produced to initial characteristics uniform throughout, the flexibility of the panel either as a whole or in selected zones can be adjusted as circumstances require. FIGS. 4 through 7 illustrate a means of accomplishing this purpose. To reduce the flexibility of the panel, a snubber strip is inserted in the channels 15 of the hinges 14. The snubber strip normally is of a compressible, resilient material. The degree to which it restricts the flexibility of the panel will be determined by the hardness or durometercharacteris'tics of the material used for these strips. Thus, the higher the durorneter or stiffness of the material, the greater the restriction. It will be obvious that these strips may be used to decrease the degree of deflection at which lock-up will occur. The snubber strips 20 fills the channels 15 and preferably are bonded to the inside faces of the channel to retain them in place and prevent them from working out of the channel as the panel is flexed. Resilient materials such as natural or synthetic rubber are particularly adapted for use as snubber strips. Other solid elastomerics may be used such as the polyurethanes.
FIG. 4 illustrates the use of the snubber strips 20 for monodirectional control of the flexibility of the panel. In this case, the snubber strips 20 are applied only to the channels 150. Thus, the resiliency of the panel will be restricted only in the direction indicated by the 'arrows A. FIG. 5 shows the snubber strips utilized to control flexibility in both directions. In this case the snubber strips are applied to both the channels 15 and 15a. To do this, the snubber strips preferably are continuous along'either the channels 15 and 15a and cons'its of short'strips, one beside each of the pans 13 in the case of the channels of the other group.'
FIG. 6 illustrates the application of the snubber strips to effect zonal or area flexibility restriction. In this case, portions of both of the groups or channels 15 and 15a are filled with snubber strips 20. This type of application could be used for a number of purposes such as controlling the curvature of the panel as it is bent to shape or to control the deflection of the panel under loading conditions. This latter would be particularly true where certain areas of the panel are to be subjected to concentrated loads as is true in the case of the'seat of a chair.
FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 illustrate how the panel may be treated to provide a finished or cushioned surface. As shown in FIG. l-0, the panel 10 has a layer of foam 30 applied to the face 12. This foam may either h a sheet of material which is suitably bonded 'to the face 12 or preferably a thin layer of foam which is formed in place. For this purpose the foam must be ,of a resilient type such as a foamed polyvinyl chloride .or one of the resilient polyurethane foams. The selection of the particular material for the foamed pad 30 is of no significance so far as this invention is concerned because it relates only to the end use of the panel rather than to the panel as a basic shell material. The foam is preferably covered and protected by an exterior covering material such as a fabric 31. Again, this fabric may be of any suitable type such as a woven material of either natural or synthetic fibers or it may be a reinforced polyvinyl chloride. The edge of the fabric is secured to a marginal beading wire 32 which in turn is clipped to the edge of the panel by the anchor clip 33. The anchor clip 33 may be secured to the wire 32. or bonded to the fabric. Again, these details are presented merely as illustrative background and are not part of the invention per se.
FIG. 11 illustrates the panel padded and covered as shown in FIG. 10 when it has been bent to a selected contour without the use of the snubber strips 20. FIG. 12 shows the use of the snubber strips in controlling the contouring of the panel. In this case it will be noted that the channels 15 in which the snubber strips 20 have been applied are held substantially open, restricting the activity of the related hinges. However, in the area of maximum curvature the snubber strips have been omitted and it will be noted that the hinges are, to a marked degree, more closed, thus permitting a more pronounced curvature of the panel. The snubber strips are effective flexibility or contour control means since the pans between the hinges are rigid areas. Contouring of the panel is effected through a plurality of bends in the panel, each occurring only at one of the hinges 14. Thus, by the simple expedient of controlling the operation of the hinges the contouring of the panel can be regulated closely.
In the construction illustrated in FIG. 12, instead of leaving the channels in the zone of maximum contour void, so far as snubber strips are concerned, the opera tion of the hinges of these channels may be regulated by using a snubber strip of softer or more compressible material than the snubber strips used in those channels in which a greater restriction offlexibility is desired. Thus, by combining snubber strips of various densities and hardness, the flexibility of this panel can be adjusted and controlled accurately through a wide range with the degree of control pre-selected for each particular area, depending upon the particular characteristics desired. This entire flexibility control may be accomplished at the point of use, eliminating the problem of fabricating it into the panel at its point of manufacture.
FIG. 13 illustrates the same type of construction as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 so far as padding and the basic shell panel It are concerned. However, the cover 31a is characterized by a plurality of shallow grooves 35 arranged in intersecting groups giving the surface a textured appearance. This arrangement permits the surface padding to flex under operating conditions such as occurs when the foam pad 30 is squeezed by a person sitting on it and returns to its original extended position when the chair is vacated. The use of the cross hatching grooves 35 prevents the surface material or covering from acquiring a wrinkled appearance due to. this flexing. This is also desirable where the shell is designed to provide a high degree of flexibility such as suggested by the deflection of the back of the chair illustrated in FIGS. l7, l8 and 10.
It will also be understood that the ratio of thickness of the panel to the foam cushioning, as illustrated, is not hinges.
to be considered as limiting. The thickness of the foam cushioning may be substantially increased or decreased. The thickness for normal application has been somewhat exaggerated to improve the readability of the drawings.
While this invention has been described in terms of a panel having a plurality of square pans 13, it is entirely possible that other geometric configurations may be applied to the pans. As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the
pans 130 may be made triangular by the use of four groups of hinges, as for example, the hinges 14, 14a, 14b and 14c. It is important that the hinges of each group be parallel so that the panel a will be permitted to bend without creating zones of high resistance which could cause overloading of the panel structure. Again, particular deflection and stiffness characteristics may be produced by varying the size and proportion of the pans. For example, rectangular pans of long narrow configuration will result in a panel of greater flexibility in one direction than the other.
The panel itself may be manufactured from any of a number of suitable materials. Preferably it is molded from synthetic resins either with or withont'reinforcing materials. For this purpose it may be formed between 'mating dies or between a die and a pressure blanket or it may be vacuum drawn into a suitable die.
stantially continuous basis, adapting it to mass production. This is desirable because the panel by its very characteristics has a wide variety of applications under varying circumstances, even though the basic panel, as fabricated, is of identical characteristics for all applications. Thus, its manufacture should be considered in the category of the fabricationof a basic stock material which may, as required, be re-worked subsequently to give it the particular characteristics required for its particular application.
-It is also possible to fabricate separately each panel for a particular application. In such an arrangement, the panel would be fabricated as a flat material but having the desired peripheral shape. In this arrangement the edges could be specially shaped to afford a more finished appearance and to have greater strength. Though this arrangement loses some of the benefits of mass production, the fact that the panel will still be .molded as a flat element rather than in the form of its final compound curvature will afford .substantial economies. It will also permit adjustment of this curvature in the final product from time to time without necessitating costly die rework.
As an example of materials suitable for the manufacture of the panel 10, a blend of synthetic rubber and thermoplastic resins may be utilized such as that sold under the name of Royalite by United States Rubber Co. Various types of polyesters reinforced with fibrous materials such as filamentary glass or, nylon can be satisfactorily used. Various other materials can be used for this purpose and the materials recited above are to be considered as exemplary only and not to be a limitation upon the scope .of this invention;
In the functioning of this invention, each of the pans constitutes an incremental area of rigidity surrounded by This is the basis upon which the panel functions. The incremental areas give the panel strength 1 and because oftheir shape as a pan a significant moment of inertia. They are too small in relation to their depth to Wrinkle or twist under shear loading. Thus; this invention provides a structure panel of sufficient thick ness to have a significant moment of inertia'yet one capable of compound curvature without-formation of shear Wrinkles. This latter is a very significant characteristic of the panel of this invention.
It willbe obvious that this invention solves a particularly serious problem. It provides a universal base or stock material in panel form which may be masstroughs g produced and yet applied to a wide variety of products demanding a combination of high strength flexibility and significant compound curvature. Even in those applications where it is necessary to specially fabricate the panel for the particular use, the panel normally can be fabricated as a flat element and contoured later. This materially reduces die cost and facilitates lay up in and removal from the mold, die or other fabricating means. Thus, the full benefits of an integral molded shell material may be obtained by a wide vvariety of products in a number of fields of which furniture is only one which heretofore have had to be manufactured from materials and by methods long recognized to be markedly inferior to the integral shell type of material simply because it was economically not feasible to utilize such materials. Thus, this invention materially advances the field of molded shell materials andmakes it available to a wide variety of products from which it has heretofore been foreclosed. For example, this invention makes an ideal architectural wall panel where at least sufficient rigidity is required to be self-supporting and curvature in one or more planes is desired.
While a preferred embodiment of .this invention h been disclosed together with certain modifications thereof, it will be recognized that various modifications of this invention may be made withoutdeparting from the principles thereof. Such modifications are to be considered as included in the hereinafter appended claims unless these claims by their language expressly state otherwise.

If you're looking for delicious-looking felt craft projects, then you'll love this project. Learn how to make Felt Strawberries from Heather Valentine. that you can display on your counter. This is a craft that will feed your creative spirit and brighten your decor. This is a great project for beginners or anyone that just wants to create something in a short amount of time. Best of all, these strawberries can be displayed forever - they won't go bad on your counter.
Grab some felt and begin cutting out berries and leaves. For each strawberry, begin by folding the fabric and adding a straight stitch. Turn the fabric inside out and make sure there is a dimple at the bottom. Stuff polyfil instead and, with a needle and thread, add a long basting stitch along the top. Stitch the leaves to the top using a different color of thread. Before you know it, you'll have a a plate filled with delicious-looking handmade strawberries.

We travelled as a family with a baby. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly throughout. Hotel is pretty new, very cool design (i.e. not at all cozy). Even though it is located in a newly built office area there are several nice restaurants in 3 minutes walking distance. Paddington station is close enough. It is just a bit difficult to locate and reach the hotel if you come for the first time (even some taxi drivers had a problem).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Powderly Beijing Update
We have mentioned that Brooklyn artists James Powderly was detained in Beijing earlier this week by Chinese authorities for protesting on behalf of Tibet outside the Olympic games. The Brooklyn Paper fleshes the story out today. It turns out that three other Brooklyn artists -- Powderly collaborators Samantha Corbin, Jacob Blumenfeld, and Lauren Valle -- were detained the same day for a separate protest. And though previous reports showed Powderly's FREE TIBET throwie in operation, the Brooklyn Paper says Powderly was arrested before he could illuminate it in Beijing. Meanwhile, the Chinese Government continues its war on foreign artists by other means, blocking iTunes in their country because a "Songs for Tibet" protest album is available through the service.

Second JVC Projector Named a Sound and Vision "Top Pick"
Little more than a month after naming the JVC DLA-X550R home theater projector a Top Pick, Sound and Vision magazine named its stablemate, the JVC DLA-X750R, as another Top Pick. The publication said, "With nearly twice the brightness of its predecessor, big improvements to 3D and 4K playback, and a good dose of UHD future-proofing, the DLA-X750R is more than just a mild refresh." Here's what else they had to say:
- "With the DLA-X750R, fine object detail looked as good as or better than it did with the Sony VPL-HW665ES I recently reviewed, and the increased contrast performance of the JVC took it past the Sony for overall picture quality. The JVC definitely outperformed my expectations in this regard, especially when we're talking about a projector that retails at around half the price."
- "Would I rather have a native 4K projector that costs more but doesn't perform to the same levels when it comes to contrast, image enhancements, and brightness? I don't think so. "

Pert Plus
Pert Plus, known in New Zealand and Australia as Pert, is a brand of shampoo and conditioner (or 2-in-1) products. It was introduced in 1987 by Procter & Gamble as a reformulation of the existing Pert shampoo product introduced in 1980.[1]
Investment firm Najafi Companies acquired North American licensing rights to Pert Plus from P&G in 2006, moving its production to subsidiary Innovative Brands LLC.[2] In 2010, Innovative sold Pert Plus and Sure to Helen of Troy.[2] The company has several products for various hair types.
World record[edit]
Pert Plus holds world records for the world's largest shower and the most people showering simultaneously at a single venue.[3]On July 9, 2009, Pert Plus claimed the "2-in-1" World Record for showering 145 people in a 4,000 sq. ft. shower at Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor in Gurnee, Illinois.[4][5]

Close proximity to rental car return and airport. The building was soundproofed very well as we could not hear the planes flying directly over the hotel. Good location to shopping and dining.
The heat/air unit was very noisy in our room. We expected free breakfast with our room price and that was extra.

Sheriff's Deputies Visit a Half-Dozen County Employees At Home This Weekend
Deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office paid visits to at least seven rank-and-file county employees over the weekend, attempting to question them about the court tower project, county spending, and other topics apparently somehow connected to the sheriff's wide-ranging "corruption" probe.
That investigation has already resulted in indictments for two county supervisors and (most bizarrely) criminal charges against the presiding judge of the criminal division of the Maricopa County Superior Court, whose only crime appears to be issuing rulings contrary to the desires of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
Cari Gerchick, spokeswoman for the county's office of civil litigation department, confirmed the visits to New Times, saying, "We started getting calls Saturday that a couple of Arpaio's goons were showing up at people's houses -- and yes, you can quote me on that."

Gerchick says lawyers from her office have told employees that they don't have to talk to the sheriff's investigators, but "you can if you want -- and if you want an attorney, we will provide one for you."
Among those visited: about a half-dozen employees of the Office of Management and Budget, most of them no higher than middle managment, Gerchick said. The county's head of Facilities Management was also visited.
But it's not clear whether the sheriff managed to gain any useful information for his "investigation."
"They asked questions, but I don't know that anybody got to the point of answering," Gerchick tells us.
We bet the home visits still achieved some purpose, though: Can you say "intimidation"?

Chipotle-Honey BBQ Bacon Burger with Gorgonzola Cheese
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 30 mins
I try a new recipe that I find on the Internet at least once a week. If it's a "keeper", I put it in my recipe file with comments; such as "a best of 2003" etc. I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago. Immediately my entire family responded the same way. It rated not only a best of 2003 but perhaps a best of EVER. We had it again last night. And again it got rave reviews - not just an impulsive response from a new recipe. My son declared the next day, "We will NEVER have ordinary burgers again in this house!" This is an "oh, my God" recipe. There is something about the way the flavors blend together that leaves your taste buds wanting for more. This is THE BEST EVER burger recipe. This was the People's Choice Prize Winner ($5,000) in Build A Better Burger Contest submitted by Adam J. Payson, Omaha, Nebraska My only recommendations on improvement is to 1) throw the vegetables in a food processor to speed up the chopping time 2) add a little corn starch after simmering the vinegar to thicken 3) double or triple the recipe for the sauce and freeze for later use
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1⁄2 lb pork sausage
- 1 ounce green onion, diced
- 1 ounce red pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ounce chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
- 1 ounce green pepper, diced
- 1 ounce red pepper, diced
- 1 ounce red onion, diced
- 1 ounce roma tomato, diced
- 1 ounce garlic, minced
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1⁄2 cup honey
Additional ingredients for building the burger
- 8 slices thick pepper bacon
- 6 five-inch kaiser rolls, split
- 4 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
- 8 slices roma tomatoes, 1/4 inch thick
- Mix ground beef, ground pork, green onion, red pepper and garlic.
- Form into 6 patties.
- Roll in black pepper.
- Refrigerate until needed.
- Heat grill to medium heat.
- Place a 2-quart saucepan on grill.
- Heat olive oil in saucepan.
- Sauté chipotle peppers, green peppers, red peppers, red onion, roma tomatoes and garlic.
- Deglaze with apple cider vinegar and let simmer.
- Add dry mustard.
- Blend sauce mixture; combine until smooth.
- Add ketchup and honey.
- Bring to a slow simmer.
- Cook bacon in a griddle/frying pan on grill surface.
- Keep warm for later use.
- Place burger patties on grill.
- Cook until medium-well, basting with Chipotle-Honey BBQ Sauce.
- Place 1 teaspoon Chipotle-Honey BBQ Sauce on top and bottom of each Kaiser bun.
- Assemble as follows: bottom bun, Gorgonzola cheese, peppered bacon, burger patty, roma tomatoes, and top bun.

I loved this recipe and I will definitely will be making this again!!!! I couldn't find the peppers anywhere and our store didn't have Gorgonzola so I substituted blue cheese instead and it still turned out great. Thanks for posting Claudia Dawn
I feel awful disagreeing with so many reviewers, so I'm thinking maybe it was just us...We didn't like this recipe at all. It was a lot of work and took a lot of ingredients and was WAY too vinegary for our tastes. The other ingredients in the sauce and burger were great--I felt like the vinegar really ruined it for us--that's all we could taste or smell. If you don't mind lots of vinegar, you'd probably like this recipe.
WOW mm mm mmmm! I tell you what, I knew these would be delicious from all the yummy ingredients in them. The sauce gave the burgers a great added flavor and tangy-ness. My bf wasn't for sure about putting the sauce on his burger (he's plain). But after he tried it he really like the sauce on them. Since it was just him and myself, I formed all the meat into patties and froze the rest, including the left over sauce we had, for next time! I have never had gorgonzola cheese on a burger but it sure was delicious! I made exactly as stated except added a little mayo, red onion, and lettuce on the burger! This is a great recipe when your wanting something different than the ordinary burger! SOOO GOOD!

Our townie neighbors to the north have their Advent wreath set up in their narthex. The icon of Christ in the center–that's usually where they display an icon or image of a saint on the feast day. I like this set-up. I think it tempts young Christians to enter that circle, but hey–seasonal festive adventurism is good.

can someone please explain how Mayo can still have an "illness"? Unless he's got meningitis or an extremely severe case of pneumonia he would appear to be jaking it.
Limp into home stretch? What have the been doing the first half?
I would be ill as well if I had to play for this losing franchise. It can't be a healthy feeling to go out and get your butt whipped just about every game for an entire season.Hide replies
He's getting paid $8M to play. He's been ill for weeks. What a POS.
This team's problem is that it's gotten used to losing. Watch a game or two and observe the lack of energy (and even interest) on the part of some players. A losing attitude can be contagious, and once ingrained it's very difficult to shake.
Do the Bucks have the same strength and conditioning coaches that the Packers have?Are they going to win another game or are they going to remain tied for the worst record in history?
Id i just hear this correct;ly, david Kahn is the former GM who has some partners who might buy into the Bucks? OMG i hope not, that guy is a train wreck. he doesn't have a plan and ruined the T-Pups. Just read any info about what Rick Adelman thought about him and how he was going to quit/retire if Kahn stayed on. As soon a Flipper was put in control, Kahn, whose reputation around the league as the Nutty Professor, was canned.
Please Gawd, don't bring Kahn in. I not a Hammond fan either but kahn is worse.
Thanks Kohl and Hammond, you've now officially turned this franchise into the laughingstock of the NBA- http://grantland.com/features/bill-simmons-breaks-down-the-2014-worst-nba-contracts/.
Honestly folks, we may be to the point where we're better off letting this inept franchise go elsewhere. Does anyone actually think that the Bucks can turn this thing around even if they get next next five first round draft picks?

According to Tracy, she hates when guys use pick-up lines to try and get her interest when they are at a bar.
Although Tracy voiced a lot of additional voices on Beavis & Butthead, Daria was the only character to appear on Daria.
Her favorite item of clothing is her knee-high 'wedgie' boots.
She has admitted she would never want to be part of The Real World ever again.
Tracy voiced Daria in the video game, Daria's Inferno.
Tracy hated having to sing in the musical episode of Daria.
She is a healthy eater. Her favorite food is curry soup with tofu.
If she had the choice to fly or be invisible, she'd choose to be able to fly.
Her favorite lines she's had to say on Daria are "Beep. Beep. It's the Soul Train get on board," and "I don't have low self esteem, I have low esteem for everyone else".
According to Tracy, voicing Daria was easy as Daria's voice was only monotone.
She says she has a lot in common with Daria. According to her, both Daria and her are both realists, trying to find an escape route.
Although she only applied for a job with MTV, she does a lot of work with Viacom, the company that owns MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Channel.
After filming the one episode of The Real World, she wound up as Lauren Corrao's assistant.
She initially hated her job at MTV as she was doing favors for the higher employees rather then copywriting.
She was a cast member on the early, unused pilot of The Real World.
She wrote for The Tom Green Show.
Tracy: (about having her own life and her Daria life) I think there's so much about separating the two worlds.
Tracy: I would go out on auditions and there were 20 other girls who all sound the same, and I would get into the booth and they would say, "Can you do it a little more like Daria," and that would be the direction.

My name is Xena and I am a very special puppy. My mom and dad rescued me from the Humane Society last year. I was very skinny and was given up because someone had no time for me. I am doing much better now, mommy had no trouble fattening me up! I am currenty taking classes for "reactive dogs" where I am learning how to deal with new things and people. I love my bear bear and my sister Dallas, the cats ok too. I love my new mom and dad, and I know they love me too!
