Elizabeth Williams, File, Associated Press
NEW YORK — By the time a wayward kid from Long Island named Bryant Neal Vinas joined al-Qaida in 2008, the sight of trainees swinging from monkey bars was a thing of the past.
The Afghani terror camps had been replaced by safe houses tucked away in the border region of Pakistan — houses made of mud.
"There's no carpet. There's no wood floors," Vinas told a Brooklyn jury on April 23. "Just mud."
Vinas' description of the crude Waziristan hideout came during the trial of Adis Medujanin, a New York City man convicted last week in a foiled plot to attack the subway system in 2009. Prosecutors had accused Medunjanin of receiving terror training and instructions from al-Qaida in Pakistan during a trip with two former high school classmates who pleaded guilty.
At Medunjanin's trial, jurors heard Vinas and another high-value government cooperator born in Great Britain, Saajid Badat, testify as expert witnesses. They provided an unprecedented, firsthand look at al-Qaida in the heady days following the Sept. 11 attacks and in more recent years as it struggled to survive.
The pair's insights suggested that the terror group never lost its desire to strike again on U.S. soil but its means and goals became more modest. It also became more reliant on late-bloomer jihadists who sometimes proved half-hearted or inept.
The testimony also gave the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn and British authorities a chance to show off two trophies in the civilian prosecution of terrorists — sworn enemies of America who, after their arrests, were persuaded to switch sides and tell everything they know.
Badat, 33, described growing disillusioned with al-Qaida. After hearing that admitted Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed would face American justice, he said he "felt ... almost a moral obligation to give evidence specifically against KSM."
The once-bearded Badat appeared on a videotape looking like a clean-cut banker. His testimony had been recorded at a secret location outside London after being freed early from a 13-year prison term as a reward for his cooperation.
Born in Gloucester, England, to immigrants from the tiny African nation of Malawi, Badat was the product of a stable childhood. He attended respected schools while playing soccer and rugby. Prodded by his father to become an imam, he memorized the Quran by age 12.
His aspirations turned violent when he learned more about the oppression of Muslims in Bosnia. While in London in 1997, he became convinced he needed to take up arms in the name of Islam.
"It was almost the glamour factor of it drawing me in," he said of heading off to Afghanistan at age 19 for "violent jihad."
By 2001, he was firmly in al-Qaida's grasp at the height of its post-Sept. 11 infamy. He recalled Osama bin Laden telling him in a meeting of just the two of them that hiding explosives in shoes in suicide attacks could get huge results.
"So he said the American economy is like a chain," Badat said. "If you break one link of the chain, the whole economy will be brought down."
The highest ranks of al-Qaida, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, picked him and Richard Reid for a shoe bomb plot in September 2001. Reid was caught aboard a plane in December with explosives; Badat backed out.
His reluctance was based on "my fear of performing the mission and also the fear of ... the implication for my family," he said.
Vinas, 29, was the offspring of immigrant parents, both from South America, who divorced when he was young. As time passed, he drifted. He also tried joining the Army in 2002, but dropped out after only three weeks because he found it "mentally overwhelming."

I like the way model binding in django works: you send stuff that you need in a Json-like way:
'param1': val,
'param2': val
In ASP.NET MVC you can't do it primarily because C# is a static language. You can use
ViewData but it's ugly and not recommended.
So I had to create dozens of ViewModels for every view: IndexViewModel, AboutViewModel, etc. And today I got an idea: why not just create one
Model class and have Visual Studio generate all necessary fields? It's almost like in django.
return View(new Model
Param1 = "asd",
Param2 = "sdf"
Param1 & Param2 are not members of the Model class, but Visual Studio will automatically generate them.
Now my question is, is it gonna work? The thing is that there will be a lot of fields in this Model class. And when we pass it to a view, only a small percentage of fields made for that view in particular will be used. Is it gonna be bad performance wise?

Do any carriers allow for FaceTime video and/or voice calls to pass over normal data channels directly from an iOS device? If not, what alternatives exist short of jail breaking or other gray solutions that would run afoul of the current policies of the cellular carriers? (for example WiFi devices that in turn use 3G / 4G for their connectivity)
Standard, Apple doesn't allow you to make FaceTime calls on a 3G network. And however 4G is often faster then WiFi, the LTE network isn't supported either.
There are however some ways you can enable FaceTime over 3G using Cydia (so jailbreak) or you can use your personal hotspot feature (jailbreak too) to enable this.

In C#, is it necessary to assign an object variable to
null if you have finished using it, even when it will go out of scope anyway?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In C#, is it necessary to assign an object variable to
No, and that could in fact be dangerous and bug-prone (consider the possibility that someone might try to use it later on, not realizing it had been set to null). Only set something to null if there's a logical reason to set it to null.
What matters more IMO is to call Dispose on objects that implement IDisposable.
Apart from that, assigning null to reference variables will just means that you are explicitly indicating end of scope - most of times, its just few instruction early (for example, local variables in method body) - with era of compiler/JIT optimizations, its quite possible that runtime would do the same, so you really don;t get anything out of it. In few cases, such as static variables etc (whose scope is application level), you should assign variable to null if you are done using it so that object will get garbage collected.
Should you turn off your car before pushing it to the lake?
Most of these responses have the right answer, but for the wrong reasons.
If it's a local variable, the variable will fall off the stack at the end of the method and therefore the object it was pointing to will have one less reference. If that variable was the only reference to the object, then the object is available for GC.
If you set the variable to null (and many who do were taught to do it at the end of the method) then you could actually wind up extending the time the object stays in memory because the CLR will believe that the object can't be collected until the end of the method because it sees a code reference to the object way down there. However, if you omit the setting of null the CLR can determine that no more calls for the object appear after a certain point in your code and, even though the method hasn't completed yet, the GC can collect the object.
Assigning to null is generally a bad idea:
The only time I would assign something to null to "clear" a variable that will no longer be used, rather than because null is actually a value I explicitly want to assign, is in one of the two possible cases:
Neither of these cases apply to local variables, only to members, and both are rare.
No. When it comes to local variables it makes no difference at all if you have a reference to the object or not, what matters is if the reference will be used or not.
Putting an extra null assignment in the code doesn't hurt performance much, and it doesn't affect memory management at all, but it will add unmotivated statements to the code that makes it less readable.
The garbage collector knows when the reference is used the last time in the code, so it can collect the object as soon as it's not needed any more.
I'd just like to add that AFAIK this was only a valid pattern for one point release of Visual Basic, and even that was somewhat debatable. (IIRC it was only for DAO objects.)

4 men charged in kidnapping, rape of woman in Union County
Published: Thursday, January 16, 1992 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 16, 1992 at 12:00 a.m.
UNION - Four men were charged this week by Union police in connection with the alleged abduction and rape of a Union woman Jan. 1. S.T. Glenn Jr., 19, of 107 Tilman St., and Johnny Rutherford, 26, of 121-A Chambers Ave., are charged with kidnapping and first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Gerald Smith, 29, of 301 Columbus St., and William E. Salter, 18, of 106 Tilman St., are charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the incident. Police said the woman was taken from a Union night spot by Glenn and Rutherford after agreeing to go outside with Glenn. She allegedly was carried to a residence off South Pinckney Street, where she was forced to have sexual relations with the two and later with Smith and Salter. The woman was held at the location for five to six hours, during which time she was reportedly hit and kicked, police said. Glenn and Salter are free on $20,000 bonds, while Smith and Rutherford remain in the joint city-county jail in lieu of $20,000 bonds. URAPE

By all accounts, Sheldon Souray is a warrior. On the ice, he has battled through a career-threatening wrist injury to become an NHL All-Star. Off the ice, he has repaired his damaged reputation, which stemmed from a well-publicized marital breakup.
In this edition of Facing Off, the bruising defenseman discusses which team is the biggest Cup threat come June, why his marriage to a Baywatch babe didn't have a Hollywood ending and how the Canadiens dealt with Jose Theodore's failed drug test.
Question from David Amber: As a kid, did you know you were destined to play in the NHL?
Answer from Sheldon Souray: I was always a kid that made the coaches go crazy. They called it laziness, but it wasn't that. I was just interested in a lot of things. I wasn't a kid who only wanted to play hockey and thought one day I'll play in the NHL, I didn't think like that. I was the kid who liked to goof around with his buddies and hockey was a way to do that. I wasn't so driven, but I always enjoyed playing, I just liked being the class clown back then.
Q: You have a tattoo of a Metis Indian chief on your right arm. What does your heritage mean to you?
A: It's important because there aren't a lot of prominent role models coming from the native communities, and the fact I play in the NHL gives me the platform to do something for these kids. It's great 'cause the kids can see that even being from a small community that still they can do it. If I could do it, they can do it. It's a fun message to pass along.
Q: How close-knit are the NHL players of native descent?
A: I think Native people in general are a tight group. When I was a teenager, I would drive kids from my community to a native hockey school in Lloydminster, Alberta, where Gino Odjick and some other NHL players were instructors. A few years later, I made the NHL and I started being an instructor. It was fun to be a counselor under the likes of Gino and Sandy McCarthy and Chris Simon and then an instructor with them. I learned a lot from those guys.
Q: Did you have to deal with any racism growing up as a minority in hockey?
A: I did. I never felt sorry for myself about it. I always just thought the people were ignorant. I had an assistant coach in junior A call me a "dumb Indian" and tell me I would never make it anywhere. That's the one thing that stuck out in my mind, and if I see that guy today, I would still like to crack him over the head.
Q: What did you do when your [junior] coach said something like that?
A: I just said "whatever," I told my dad about it and he confronted the guy and told the coach what he did was wrong. I don't even know if the coach realized what he did was wrong, he was that ignorant. Bottom line is, I look at where I am today, and clearly anyone who tried to put me down did the opposite, it always motivated me.
Q: What do you think of a guy like Sean Avery, who has been in trouble for allegedly saying racially charged things on the ice?
A: I think that here's a guy who loves to grab the headlines. Here's a guy who is a very borderline NHL player, I think, to begin with. He does a lot of stuff, but I think it's for shock value.
Q: Is he not liked around the league?
A: I don't know. I can only speak for what I have seen on the ice. I think maybe he's a guy that you don't mind when he's on your team, and when you play against him, he's a little [expletive] disturber.
Q: Your NHL career started on the Devils, playing with the likes of Scott Stevens and Ken Daneyko. What did those guys teach you?
A: Scotty Stevens, I mean this was my idol growing up, so to have a chance to play with him and learn from him was amazing. He taught me about hockey, but more importantly, he showed me what kind of work ethic and professionalism it takes to survive in this league. And Daneyko is a great story. Here is a guy on a limited amount of skill, who plays for just one team his whole career, and is about to get his number retired by a first-class organization, so that's unbelievable.
Q: You missed the entire 2002-03 season with a wrist injury. What do you remember about injuring the wrist?
A: It happened in the first period of a game against the Panthers, I went into the corner awkwardly and I was reaching for the puck and I was tied up with a guy and another guy came flying in and sort of sandwiched my hand. I remember that night having dinner and my hand was so sore, I was sure I had broken my wrist. Two days later, I got [an X-ray] and there was no break. For the next month, I played and it was tough, the wrist was like mashed potatoes. After a while, I just couldn't do it anymore, so I got another X-ray done and the wrist was broken.
Q: So, you played for a full month with a broken wrist?
A: Yeah. I even played two more games after we knew it was broken because they thought I couldn't damage it anymore than it already was.
Q: So, how do you go from a near career-ending wrist injury to having one of the hardest shots in the NHL?
A: I've always had a good shot. I never had a role in New Jersey to be offensive and use my shot, but during that season I missed, I knew I could maybe be that guy in Montreal. I kept hearing fans and the media say, "I think the Habs could use a physical defenseman, a guy on the power play," and I started thinking I can do these things. Everyone was writing me off anyway, so I thought I might as well give it what I got and be that guy for the team.
Q: What's the fastest shot you've had that's been registered on a radar gun?
A: During a skills competition in New Jersey, they clocked me at 103.1 mph.
Q: Right now in the NHL, who has the hardest shot?
A: The last time they clocked it, Adrian Aucoin had the hardest shot. He has an absolute bomb. I think Jason Arnott has a canon, also.
Q: You have a 2-year-old daughter Valentina. What's the coolest part of being a dad?
A: Can you really pick just one thing? When I see that little girl, see her smiling, I'm like "Wow, that's me." She's at that age where she can say, "I love you," or talk on the phone, it's pretty unbelievable, makes you feel pretty good.
Q: But what happens if she grows up to be a Maple Leafs or Bruins fan?
A: You know, they say you love your kids unconditionally, we all have our faults [laughs]. That's what I tell my dad, he's from Toronto. He always loved the Leafs. Still today, when we play the Leafs, he sits on his hands a bit.
Q: You have joint custody of your daughter. How difficult has it been to have the breakup of your marriage to [former Baywatch star] Angelica Bridges played out in such a public forum?
A: The whole thing has been exaggerated, that's the most disheartening thing. It's tough, but it makes you a better person. I learned that in the grand scale of things, hockey is just a small part of my life, it's a really good part of my life, I'm very blessed to be doing what I'm doing, but your family is most important. Also, I learned that people are quick to build you up, and even quicker to pull you down.
Q: You were basically living out every guy's dream, married to a Baywatch babe. Did it ever seem kind of weird to be living that life?
A: I never looked at it like that, because if you knew someone like Tom Cruise, and he was your buddy and you guys hang out and get beers, it would be no big deal, but people on the street would be saying, "Wow, oh my God, look at that, it's Tom Cruise." I was unaffected by it. It never meant much to me that she was an actress or model.
Q: Were you a Baywatch fan?
A: No, I never even knew she was on the show until one of my buddies told me who she was. Then I thought maybe she could introduce me to Carmen Electra [laughs]. Just kidding. We got along right away. We were friends for a long time before anything happened.
Q: Despite the messy breakup, do you see a time when you could be friends again?
A: Yeah, sure. We already are. Things couldn't have gotten any worse from where they were. Time has healed some of those things. But the most important thing is we have a daughter together, so we will be connected for the rest of our lives.
Q: After the marriage had fallen apart, she made an assault accusation against you [no charges were ever filed]. Have you forgiven her for that?
A: I guess everyone does things for different reasons. It's hard to forgive, it's one of the toughest things to do, but if you're ever going to move on and take a step forward in your life, it's something that has to be done. You know, I'm never going to win husband of the year, so it's not just a one-way street. But at the end of the day, there are a lot of things you have to work on to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Q: Which team right now should be considered the Stanley Cup favorite?
A: I'd say Detroit. They have the experience, and they know how to get there. They just seem like they're built for it, so I'll say them.
Q: Who deserves to win the Hart Trophy for MVP?
A: I'll say Jaromir Jagr. He's been outstanding. [Alexander] Ovechkin has probably been the most outstanding player, but his team isn't in the playoffs, so it's hard to say he's the most valuable to his team. I look at Jagr and he keeps breaking records and it just looks like he's the old Jagr again and the most valuable to his team.
Q: As a defenseman, who is the toughest player in the league to handle one on one?
A: Jagr.
Q: Why?
A: He's big. He's strong. He's fast. He's got crazy moves. There is nothing that he doesn't do. He's sick.
Q: What was your reaction when you found out that Jose Theodore tested positive for a banned substance?
A: I think anyone that has seen Jose in the shower knows this guy has not been lifting weights in the gym, so you figure there's an explanation for it. For Jose, the heat he has taken this year, it just seems like it was a snowball he couldn't quite stop. The story comes out and the media in Montreal runs with it, but the guys on the team never thought that he was doing anything illegal. We knew there was an explanation, so the guys weren't too worried about it.
Q: Right before the Olympics, when the Rick Tocchet story broke, some people were saying there must be a huge gambling problem in the NHL. How would you describe the level of gambling by players in the NHL?
A: I would bet you $100 not even half the players gamble [laughs]. Honestly, I never heard about any gambling stuff with NHL players before this whole story. This is my 12th year around the league. I would never assume there was or is a problem. It's probably an isolated incident. I only know the guys and teams I've been around, so I can only speak to that.
Q: In 2003, Access Hollywood named you the sexiest man in the NHL. How do you get that distinction?
A: I played in New Jersey, so I spent some time in New York. I was young and single and it opened some doors for me. I did a few things for the "E Channel." I did a few magazine spreads and it just became one of those things where my name came up because I was out there doing things that got attention. I was having fun, I wasn't just concentrating on hockey, although Lou [Lamoriello] is the last guy who would want to hear that [laughs].
Q: A few years ago, you appeared in an episode of "One Life to Live" with some other NHL players (Kevin Weekes, Jeremy Roenick, Scott Gomez, Chris Therien). What do you remember most about that experience?
A: We played ourselves, it was small time, but when you tell people about it, they think it is really interesting.
Q: Roenick and Gomez had speaking roles. What happened to you?
A: I was in the background. I was like if Scotty Gomez can do it, I mean c'mon, that's an insult [laughs].
Q: When your hockey career is over, are we going to see you as an actor or model?
A: I don't think so. I have a lot of fun, it's great to branch out and do other things, but right now, I'm just hoping I can play a lot more years in the NHL and after that just coast a bit. Maybe be a reporter for ESPN [laughs].

I personally played 4 years of Varsity baseball at my high-school. Baseball is an American game focused scoring "runs". Each run is worth 1 point (or score) for the offensive team. The run is achieved by hitting the ball with a bat onto the infield or outfield and making it around 3 bases finally reaching home plate. All this is done against 9 defenders (outfielders/infielders/pitcher). The defense positions are catcher, pitcher, first base, second base, short-stop, third base, right field, center field and left field. The standard weight of high-school bats is -3.
I started my basketball "career" with a basketball camp in 1999. I played all the way through middle school, played on the JV team for 1 year and made the Varsity team my sophomore year in high-school. I started my last 2 years on the men's varsity basketball team. We were in the State Finals all 3 of my years on the varsity team in North Carolina. I continued my basketball career at Piedmont International University during my sophomore year. Piedmont International University is NCCSA Division-2.
I am an experienced player (15 years) and a patient coach who loves the game!
My undergraduate work was focused around biblical and theological studies at Piedmont International University. With a BA in "Christian Ministries", I am well rounded in my knowledge about the bible and related religious studies. One of my minors was in Pastoral Theology. As a career/ministry, I was a student pastor in Savannah, GA from for one year. I can answer any questions regarding specific tutoring needs or questions about my education.

Editor: Choked on my coffee reading the Oct. 12, 2008 Record headline, "County's revenue loss: $12M - Reserves will save cuts in services, layoffs."
Reserves (the "rainy day fund") were established with $13.4 million. The County Commission spent $7 million to protect retirement and health benefits enjoyed by the Commissioners and their subordinates, benefits more generous than most of our local private business can afford.
Now the commission is considering using up the rest of the reserves to cover other shortfalls bringing the fund to zero. In addition the County Commission is looking at "restructuring some debt," i.e., lower payments now, higher future payments.
May we request our County Commission explain why expenditures per capita (per resident man, woman, child) more than doubled from 2000 to 2008? Commissioners are asked to analyze and publish what it will take to return to a budget per capita (inflation adjusted) at the same level as 2000.
Rather than focusing on bringing expenses down to earth, the commission lurches back and forth for new tax sources. Remember the "fire fee" that was abandoned because of public outrage?
Now we are asked to agree to a 17 percent sales tax increase (from 6 percent to 7 percent), half of which is to pay for fixing roads, which are supposed to be paid for from the regular budget. We are being told 62 percent of the sales tax will be paid by out-of-county visitors. Come on, how's that possible?
Our commission continues promoting home rule charter government with no provision for limits on taxes, fees, indebtedness, financial oversight, or audits.
While it's pleasant for our County to have a billfold bulging (with our hard earned tax dollars) to spend, bubbles have burst. The longer getting expenses under control is postponed, the greater our difficulties ahead.

Jewish Book Week director Geraldine D'Amico has expressed disappointment that the Edinburgh International Book Festival plans to mark Israel's 60th anniversary by focusing on the Nakba, or "catastrophe", the Palestinian term for the creation of Israel.
Holocaust survivors whose efforts to reach Palestine after the war were halted by the Royal Navy were sent in 1947 to grim camps in Germany and Austria surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers.
But they did not go without a fight, according to secret documents released this week by the National Archive.
The struggle between well-equipped troops and the refugees brought deep embarrassment and international criticism for the British government.
The Birth of Israel
BBC2, Sunday May 4
The juxtaposition of the words Jeremy Bowen and Israel often causes the paranoia centre in the Zionist brain to go into overdrive. Bowen has, in the past, been seen as unfairly critical of Israeli policies. So, his hour-long special on events leading to the formation of Israel was always going to be analysed forensically for signs of bias.
British Jews and the Dream of Zion
Radio 4, Monday April 28
On the eve of the 60th anniversary of Israel, here was a programme which told the story of the involvement of British Jews, and indeed non-Jews, in the foundation of the Jewish state.
Filmmaker Raneen Geries receives death threats for showing the Palestinian view of the events of 1948.
When Raneen Geries, a Palestinian woman, arrived at Tel Aviv University to study for a degree in social work, most of the students on her course were Jewish. As conversations frequently touched on family history, she realised how little she knew of her own.
Sixty years on, the shock of Israel's foundation is still impacting on Christian, Muslim and Jewish thought
From time to time, certain events "shock" history, bring about a rupture in continuity, and throw the future on to a radically new trajectory. This event can be short or stretch over generations, random and accidental or built into the very dynamics of historic processes, sometimes taking the form of an extraordinary person and other times an aggregation of events.

In Star City, the villainous Black Spider is swinging through the streets and goes to an apartment. He snags a reporter, Mr. Jones, and dangles him above the street, warning that no one likes a crusader. Black Spider drops Jones, but Green Arrow fires an adhesive foam arrow beneath him to break his fall. Jones' daughter looks up and sees Green Arrow and Artemis on a nearby rooftop, attacking Black Spider.
At Belle Reve, Sportsmaster breaks into the prison, counting on Warden Hugo Strange to shut down the security systems. They go down right on cue.
In Star City, Black Spider takes the fight to the heroes, knocking Green Arrow down. Artemis maintains fire, driving him back.
Sportsmaster makes his way to the cells and releases one specific prisoner.
Artemis freezes Black Spider's webline, bringing him down.
At Belle Reve's ICU unit, Hugo Strange escorts Professor Ivo to see T.O. Morrow, who is in a coma. Ivo gloats over his competitor's unconscious body.
Green Arrow and Artemis go to the city's teleporter and Artemis leaves after Green Arrow says they'll go crimefighting again next week. Once she departs for her hometown, Red Arrow steps out of the shadows and asks what his mentor wanted. Before Green Arrow can answer, they get a report of a crime in progress and leave to take care of it.
Sportsmaster poses as a deliveryman removing toxic waste. Once he's clear of the prison, the villain releases Professor Ivo from hiding. At the prison, Hugo Strange shuts down the Ivo robot.
In Star City, Green Arrow and Red Arrow take down grocery store robbers. Green Arrow informs Red Arrow that by year's end, he'll be in the Justice League. However, he suggests that he set a good example by joining Young Justice first.
Artemis meets her mother, Paula, and talks about what she accomplished. Paula is relieved that her daughter has taken to crimefighting, and admits that Batman and Green Arrow talked to her first before recruiting Artemis to join Young Justice. Her mother admits that she lost one daughter while she was in prison serving time as the Huntress, and that she begged them to let Artemis join. When Artemis hears that, she assumes that she was a pity case and storms off to her bedroom.
In New Orleans, Sportsmaster and Ivo meet with Klarion, Monsieur Mallah, and the Brain. Klarion objects, expecting Morrow, but Ivo says that he's better and the boy sorcerer agrees to use him, while Sportsmaster informs them that Ivo's equipment is en route.
Artemis is out on the fire escape, worrying about how she may have been brought in out of pity, not because of her skills. Insisting she's the best, she teleports to Mount Justice and Green Arrow and her teammates inform her that Red Arrow has decided to join Young Justice. Green Arrow then informs them that Sportsmaster was spotted in New Orleans and the team is to find out what he's up to. Superboy isn't necessary and Miss Martian volunteers to take the night off with him. Artemis insists on being in, pointing out that she has the most experience flying the bio-ship other than Miss Martian.
As they fly to New Orleans, Kid Flash explains that he's jazzed about Red Arrow because they go back, but assures Artemis that she has nothing to prove. She accepts the compliment with good grace, smiling. Meanwhile, Aqualad talks privately to Red Arrow, who says that there's a mole on the team and Artemis is the primary suspect.
At Mount Justice, Superboy, Zatanna, and Miss Martian ask Red Tornado if he has any missions for them, and he suggest that they amuse themselves before going up to his apartment. Zatanna wonders what he does in his apartment when he's an robot with no need to eat or sleep.
Sportsmaster leaves a diner and heads into the swamps by boat. Red Arrow follows the villain, irritably warning Artemis to remain far back. Sportsmaster finally gets off at a dock and Red Arrow goes in, while Artemis waits in the bio-ship. She finally gets impatient and moves in on her own, only to find her sister Jade, aka Cheshire, waiting for her. They fight, arrows versus swords, and Cheshire suggests that Artemis use her pointed arrowheads. When Artemis points out that Cheshire is working for a villain, she insists that she doesn't have a choice. However, she refuses to reveal why. Red Arrow arrives and momentarily pins her to a tree with a net arrow. Artemis flirts with him, mentioning his name and letting Sportsmaster know via her hidden radio that the heroes are on to them. He then picks up a briefcase tossed from a passing train.
Cheshire frees herself and attacks both heroes, but Red Arrow realizes that Sportsmaster is making his escape. After knocking him down, Cheshire removes her mask and kisses him, and Kid Flash arrives and knocks her away. Red Arrow tells Artemis to fire a tracer arrow onto Sportsmaster's boat. When she admits that it's out of range for her, he fires his own arrow and hits the target. Red Arrow then goes after him, while Cheshire taunts Artemis about how he was willing to make a shot she wouldn't even try.
Sportsmaster knocks Red Arrow off of his jet ski, removes the tracking bug, and drops mini-depth charges into the water to deter Aqualad. They contact Artemis and Kid Flash, but Cheshire has already slipped away from them. However, Artemis managed to put traces on the villainess' sword before she escapes. As the others arrive, Artemis fires a tracking arrow at the passing train. Kid Flash says that they threw the fight as planned so they could track Sportsmaster, Aqualad points out that Artemis should have stayed aboard the bio-ship, but she insists that she made the right call and Cheshire could have hacked their radios. She gives the tracker to Red Arrow and goes back to the bioship, ignoring Kid Flash's objections. However, she doesn't tell her teammates that she has a second tracker.
Once Red Tornado leaves on a mission, Zatanna, Superboy, and Miss Martian go up to his apartment. They discover a Christmas tree filled with decorations and a body covered on a bed.
In New Orleans, Sportsmaster goes to the warehouse and gives Ivo the case containing the Atlantean echinoderm. Blending science and magic, Ivo and Klarion imbue it with energy. Meanwhile Artemis breaks into the warehouse but discovers that Cheshire steps out of the shadows and says that she found the tracer. She points out that Red Arrow put a tracker on Artemis' quiver because he doesn't trust her, and shows Artemis security camera footage revealing Sportsmaster preparing to kill Red Arrow from ambush. Thinking quickly, Artemis fires an explosive arrow, knocking Red Arrow back from the outside door and alerting him. Red Arrow calls in the others and fights off the villains with Artemis.
The three teens discover that Red Tornado has an android body on the bed. He arrives and they ask what is going on. Red Tornado explains that while he is a robot, the android body will let him download his consciousness into it and walk among other humans and learn what they're like. Zatanna casts a spell to put pants on the android, while the others admit that they were bored rather than trying to be disrespectful.
Kid Flash and Aqualad arrive and help take on the villains, while Artemis continues onto the warehouse. She tells Ivo to surrender, but Klarion casts a spell teleporting himself and his allies away, leaving ice statues of themselves.
Back at Mount Justice, Aqualad points out that they have learned nothing. Red Arrow suggests that Artemis betrayed them, but he points out that the real Ivo is back in Belle Reve. Kid Flash takes Artemis' side, but Red Arrow explains that Artemis ditched the tracer they put on Cheshire and used her own to track her single-handedly. Artemis has no answer for Kid Flash, who realizes that she's insecure and selfish. He walks away and Red Arrow asks Artemis how she'll betray them the next time. Aqualad tells them to drop it while he reports to Batman, but Red Arrow warns Artemis that it isn't over.
When Artemis returns home, she enters her bedroom and finds Sportsmaster waiting for her. He figures the team blamed her and wonders if Young Justice will keep her around now that Red Arrow has joined the team. Sportsmaster tells her that she can't find who she is and it's time to switch sides.

Life — and aviation — is better with help from friends
There is precious little we can accomplish in life entirely on our own. We need help, or encouragement, or correction from others. And thank goodness. Life would be awfully lonely if we all went around all the time being entirely self-sufficient and self-contained. [Read more…]
Chicago Executive Airport rejects self-serve fuel for GA planes
The board of directors of Chicago Executive Airport have again rejected pilots' request for self-serve fuel, continuing a stalemate over high gas prices. According to a story in the Chicago Tribune, the board voted unanimously against offering self-service aviation gas, despite a petition from nearly 200 pilots asking for it.
According to one board member, self-serve fueling stations would compete with the airport's FBOs.

Skip to comments.So Much for the Two Rogue Employees Line 90 IRS Agents Were Involved in Scandal
Posted on 05/31/2013 4:49:01 PM PDT by blueyon
Two weeks ago Steven Miller, former Acting Internal Revenue Service Commissioner, claimed just two rogue employees were involved in the scandal targeting conservative groups.
NEARLY 90 IRS agents were involved in the massive scandal targeting conservativs, pro-Israel activists and Constitutional groups. FOX Nation reported:
The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relevant to the congressional investigation into targeting of conservative groups, according to a congressional source familiar with the investigation.
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
OK ISSA..it's called Subpoena
I don't just want them fired, I want them in JAIL for LIFE!
The IRS can ruin people's lives for no reason already. Throw in a bunch of crooked political operatives and they will kill you (or make you wish you were dead).
This came from Obama, et al, no doubt about it. The thin skinned arrogant bastard that he is targeted anyone who had anything negative to say about him, starting with Joe the Plumber!
Lois Lerner
Valerie Jarrett
Ninety rogue employees and counting...
Then turn the names over to the Congressional investigators.
crossposting link on Friday's IRS news. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3025987/posts?page=35
You can't be a "rogue" employee when everyone is doing the same thing you are. The rogues were the ones doing a proper job.
Send these lame m' fu**rs to jail!
I think this will be a major revelation that will
Make this a very unpopular issue to most all Americans.
2 agents going rogue is plausible and believable to the low information voters.
However, 90 employees involved is a conspiracy in anyone's eyes. It also makes the testimony of the Heads of the IRS to both the House and Senate unbelievable and very Nixonian.
Obama's minions managed to shut down Billions of dollars in Campaign Finance from Conservative Groups and was able to once again buy an Election.
Culture of corruption, directed by political appointees and the legions of like minded Federal Employees of diverse or perverse persuasion(s).
Stolen Election ALERT!
My guess is at least a few will start singing like mockingbirds. The snowball effect is gonna roll over them like an avalanche.
Both Miller and Lerner lied and Miller was openly contemptuous of the Committee. Clearly, the IRS thinks it's a law unto itself and not accountable to Congress. It's going to take a lot work to turn that agency around and make those people public servants again.
Jarrett is president when the bogus POTUS is at the bathhouse. Check the log for the night of Benghazi.
Well beyond Nixonian IMO.
And these 90 cooked up this scheme by their wittle selves...
More than half the citizenry of the United States, a free and democratic country, have been targeted by their government. There will be hell to pay lefties...and it's coming soon with a wrath and fury that will set back the progressive cause for a generation.
If the IRS says 80, that REALLY means at least 160. But if 80, there's a good chance they can't keep ALL of their mouths shut. It's sickening how so many of the 90,000 IRS employees are aware of illegal IRS activities and haven't said a word.. Or perhaps the news media found out long ago and kept it quiet? Oh wait, the news media was engaged in the targeting!!
Did ANYONE Believe it was only TWO?
Like we just fell off the turnip truck.
I am TIRED of having my intelligence insulted by the regime.
IRS Ignores Senate Deadline to Answer Questions About Scandal
Oh c'mon.. You don't believe that Shulman's +157 visits to the White House were about the "Easter Egg Roll"?? LOL! Shulman was telling Congress 'I'll joke about it because I can't tell you Jarrett and 0bama were the ring leaders in all of this'
Evidently Schulman subscribes to the Evangelical Notion that "For ME, EVERY DAY is Easter, hallelujah!"
FTR...I'm an Evangelical, but we DO have our cliches.
I think not.
The most that will happen is a few stooges will be fired and replaced by people just as bad.
They did this because they knew they could get away with it.
IMO, she is president ALL the time. Obama has no clue.
Waddya mean truth?
You don't get truth from government, you get evasion and deceit, followed by fines, fees, taxes, threats, intimidation and imprisonment.
Government has become too big, too controlling, too intrusive to change by traditional means. Bet your assets.
I dont just want them fired, I want them in JAIL for LIFE!<<
I want them all brought in and told...if u did this on your own...your going to jail for life...NO EXCEPTIONS!
if someone above u told u to do it....tell us who and we will reduce your sentence according to your cooperation...
Dont forget ol' Tax Cheat Timmy....
Is about to be very close to the truth of Obama Administration's use of the IRS for political reasons, especially when we'll see a lot of "passing of buck" of responsibility of what really happened.
"90 rogue employees..."
How can 90 employees collude with each other? This had to be coordinated from higher up.
Unless the IRS has power to sic the FBI, ATF and OSHA on people, this goes tot he White House.
The Internal Revenue Service has told House GOP investigators they have identified 88 IRS employees
If the IRS acknowledges 88 employees, one can ony guess how many there truly are.
What are you IRS guys thinking? No one will know? Youll get away with it? Obama will protect you? Geez - you are all vicious little hate mongers.
Get rid of he IRS. Get rid of income taxes.
>>...Bet your assets.<<
...and keep'em oiled.
Forget impeachment. Let's shut down the IRS
A great idea. But it will never happen.
Our government is now too big to be held accountable to anyone or anything.
The US is dead.

Incredibly Diverse – I wouldn't be very far off mark if I said that almost every nation worldwide is represented through the girls at Mount Holyoke.Though the College is widely accepting irrespective of background,political beliefs,religion and/or sexual orientation, some subtle tension does exist in the student body.
Guys & Girls:
Sweet, and Quite a Variety. Boys, on the Other Hand . . . I have made wonderful friends here, and I truly believe there is a group of girls for everyone. However, boys are not readily available, so you need to be okay spending a lot of girl time wih your friends.
Local Area:
Entertainment Is There If You Go Looking – South Hadley is awful, but the five college area provides things to do if you're willing to search for them.
Always Available – i've never had a problem finding a computer to use
Extremely Diverse – honestly, the majority of the people i've met are either international students or of ethnic descent.i've met people from all different economic, religious, and political backgrounds. most people tend to be liberal and open to discussion.
Drug Safety:
I haven't seen a lot of drug use on campus. go to hampshire to smoke.alcohol is pretty common for most students, and is accepted.
Campus Housing:
Safford or Bust – safford is definitely the best dorm, though porter and wilder are close seconds. i love being in the center of campus and having a very small close knit community within my hall.
Guys & Girls:
It's my first year and i live in Safford ! so many people have told me how lucky i am, and i really agree. i'm in love with our beautiful kitchen, huge separate common room and warm fireplace. i'm also very happy with my huge corner room with four window and two walk-in closets. my roomie and i have plenty of room :)
Off-Campus Housing:
It's my first year and i live in Safford ! so many people have told me how lucky i am, and i really agree. i'm in love with our beautiful kitchen, huge separate common room and warm fireplace. i'm also very happy with my huge corner room with four window and two walk-in closets. my roomie and i have plenty of room :)
Campus Quality:
I love the gym on campus, i regularly attend the rumba and kickboxing classes, and borrow equipment to play tennis and racquetball!
Health & Safety:
Extremely Safe – i've never heard of an incident of anything getting stolen or anything that made me feel unsafe on campus.
Party Scene:
Decent, but Only Off-Campus – There is essentially no club/bar scene in South Hadley. There are occassional parties on campus, but they aren't often wild parties like you might find off-campus.The PVTA bus runs between the 5 colleges, is free and runs relatively late. It's only about 15 min. between colleges. Amherst and Smith have pretty good nightlifes--fun bars and good restaurants. They can be strict about fake IDs, though. There are a good amount of parties at the other schools, so once you have friends there you're all set.
Amazing Professors – The professors at MHC are absolutely incredible. They are inspiring and inspired, demanding but fair. The curriculum is made even better by the fact that you can take classes at Hampshire, UMass, Amherst or Smith--so you have tons of courses available to you.
I wish I were awarded more financial aid... but generally, make sure to always check that your financial aid seems reasonable. You could always go to the office.
Local Area:
If You Have a Car, You're Set – Being that I'm from NYC, the local atmosphere of Mount Holyoke (in South Hadley, aka the middle of no where) is a bit dry. Most social events are in campus and there are some off campus but the city buses that run through our campus and nearby towns aren't frequent enough. But like I said, if you have car, you'll be fine... that is until gas prices go up.
Not Sure – I am not very sure but the school gives good financial aid.
Off-Campus Dining:
Pretty good choices if you want something fast like a sandwich, or a pizza. The allowed spending limit is $7.25. totally worth it.
Campus Food:
Dining Halls- Buffet Style – Pretty good variety and every dining hall has a great salad bar.
MHC does a phenomenal job of providing both need-based and merit-based aid to the majority of students. This can be especially nice for those who fall in the "cursed middle class" category, as there are a wide variety of scholarships rewarding leadership and academics which can nearly cover an entire tuition.
Guys & Girls:
Depends on What You're Looking for – Allow me to begin by saying that, on the whole, Mount Holyoke Women are brilliant and interesting. Socially, however, many can be strange and irritating, and it is not necessarily the easiest place to make friends. If you put in the effort to get involved with student clubs and organizations, though, you should find like-minded individuals who you can befriend.
A TON of Different Groups – The school makes it a point to have a lot of diversity on campus and every race is well represented. Also we're one of the most international colleges in the nation so there are many countries represented as well. Everyone seems to be accepted. The majority of the campus is liberal and there are many religions as well as abilities to practice those religions around campus. As per sexual orientation, it is an all women's campus so there is a higher than average amount of lesbian or bisexual women.
Campus Quality:
SOOO PRETTY! I've visited over 30 campuses in my college search and Mount Holyoke is the most beautiful for sure. Everything looks very Hogwarts with brick exteriors but are well renovated and look absolutely gorgeous inside. All the classrooms are also very beautiful but well technologically equipped. There are so many computers available for student use it's ridiculous. The laboratories are unlike anything I've ever seen at a college and the sports complex is new and looks amazing.
Excellent Opportunities – As a student at Mount Holyoke College I'm very satisfied with the level of academic rigor at my school. Opportunities are practically thrown at students to expand their interests and the professors are of an extremely high caliber. All the students are also extremely hard working.
Local Area:
Rigorous but Boring – Mount Holyoke is a great school educationally wise. It has potential and it is very rigorous. The only down side to it is that you have to have a car in order to have a social life here. Unless, you are willing to ride on crowded buses to get to parties! There really isn't much to do outside of school so in order to not find oneself bored all the time one really has to be involved inside of school.
Campus Food:
Home Cooked – Awsome home cooked food! Absolutely the best hands down!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
It seems that students come to Mount Holyoke for the academics and stay for the community. Women who come here either quickly discover that they hate it and transfer out, or fall in love with the school and become unable to imagine going anywhere else. The overall sense students have about the College is that it's more than just a school, and it's more than a place to study for four years, get your diploma, and be set free—MHC becomes a second home. Its close-knit environment allows students to explore their own boundaries in safety, perhaps try on a few lifestyle changes, and maybe even find a few that stick. You will undoubtedly be exposed to new influences during your time here, as you would at almost any college, but here, you won't be afraid to call some of those new influences your friends—especially the ones who scared you at first.
Part of what's so wonderful and unique about this school is the sense that students are really cared about as individuals. Sure, it's an institution, and sure, there are the occasional oversights where the Registrar forgets to record a grade or some such thing, but most faculty and staff are exceedingly helpful and willing to assist you with whatever difficulty you may be facing, whether it's a decision to apply to grad school now or later or a mistake in your transcript. The atmosphere of care is contagious—new students quickly catch it from older students, and so the tradition lives on. Things are changing for this institution, as it strives to keep up with modern times and struggles with budget cuts resulting from a bad economy, but it still remains the school generations of women have known and loved, and alumnae still keep coming back to visit and reminisce.

Debt Service
Debt service refers to the interest you pay on a debt in a year.
Why do you need to know this stuff? Well, for the IRS. The IRS may give you a tax break on the interest you pay on a business loan, so you may need to tally up the interest you've paid in a tax year. Banks might be interested in your debt service if you apply for a loan and the bank needs to figure out whether you have too much debt already.

I've been working with Teresa over at Boston University to help coordinate Microsoft's involvement in this year's Win-Dev conference. I've always enjoyed Win-Dev as a both a speaker and an attendee b/c of the breadth and depth of the technical content presented there and also b/c of the top industry talent doing the presenting. In addition to guys like: Bob Beauchemin, Ian Griffiths, Aaron Skonnard, Keith Brown, Fritz Onion, Mike Woodring, Rob Howard, and Juval Lowy, this year there will be lots of Microsoft product team members presenting as well: Chris Anderson will be keynoting, Maoni Stephens and Kit George from the CLR Team, Keith Ballinger from the Indigo team, Jason Carlson Product Unit Manager for SQL Server Reporting Services, Girish Chander from SQL Server, and Frank Swiderski from the Secure Windows Initiative Attack Team will all be presenting.
In addition, MSDN is sponsoring the Ask The Experts (ATE) on Tuesday evening October 26, 5:00 PM. I'm a huge fan of ATE b/c it's a great place to mingle with the speakers and other attendees over appetizers and drinks while getting answers/insight into technical design/implementation issues. Hopefully I'll see you there!

2013 SAG Awards
•January 28, 2013
Horchata: This guy has a big pair. Regardless of his status of a guru-level grandmaster troll he has succeeded in breaking with the script at every turn. A guy that gives that little of a **** and will say anything that is on his mind is refreshing. I am tired of seeing politicians dance around egg shells and watching everything they say. He is the most honest and full of **** candidate I have seen in a log time. He isn't two faced at all. Everything he is is right out in front. Other candidates can't buy that kind of transparency. He's a straight shooter even when he's full of it. He only cares about being himself and does't try to hide behind a facade. He is the jerk he shows everyone. When is the last time you saw that? Be honest.

i'm having the same 'blank page' problems that other wp users have had (every time a post/category/anything else is updated, i am redirected to a blank page). however, despite all my research, i am yet to find a solution.
i'm currently developing my site 'offline' on my computer. i have no active plugins, i've checked the wp_options database for spam, i've reinstalled wp2.6.2 (bar the wp-content folder), but still no luck.
any ideas?
