Stevie Nicks recalls relationship,substance abuse battles on 'Oprah's Master Class'
Stevie Nicks says she knew early on that using cocaine was a bad idea. On OWN's "Master Class," the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman recalls coming to the realization back in 1980, well before she ended up going to rehab.
Nicks explains that her turning point came in 1986, when she went to a plastic surgeon and learned her nasal passages were so badly deteriorated that if she ever used cocaine again it could kill her.
She says she immediately went home, got her affairs in order, and checked herself into the Betty Ford Center. But Stevie says her substance abuse battle didn't end there. She says she knew she didn't have a problem with alcohol but those around her were concerned, so she went to doctor who put her on Klonopin, which turned her into a "couch potato" for the next three years. It took her a 47-day hospital stay to recover from the medication.
Nicks adds that her music helped get her through it all, even though it created challenges in her personal life. She says in the early '70s she and Lindsey Buckingham were in a desperate situation trying to make it as a duo when they were invited to join Fleetwood Mac, but even then Lindsey was reluctant to sign on. She explains that Lindsey saw the two of them having a family and growing old together, and he blames the band for breaking them up. But she says they also knew how important Fleetwood Mac was, and even as their relationship was falling apart they never even considered leaving group. Fleetwood Mac will be back in action this year. The group will head out on their first tour in three years this spring, kicking off the trek in Columbus, Ohio on April 4th.

Seth Godin recently pointed his blog readers to a heart-warming—and considerably thought-provoking—documentary. Appropriate to Godin's field of work, "Lemonade" interviews over a dozen laid off advertisement professionals who use their new found freedom to pursue work and recreation that they truly enjoy.
If you scroll down to read some of Hulu's viewer comments, you'll notice that the concept of "doing what you love" full-time is controversial. Many argue that "pursuing one's passion" is often mismanaged, resulting in failure, the loss of other opportunities and a decrease in quality of life. The potential for success may not be worth the enormous risk.
Of course, it's normal for us to seek pleasure over pain, happiness over unhappiness. There is logical consistency in choosing activities we enjoy over those we despise. Pursuing work that inspires us can be opposed to our basic needs or our familial responsibilities. Even the non-basic comforts of our lifestyle are enough to hinder us from pursuing a motivational occupation because we can't bear the loss of them. Consequently, immediate needs usually take precedence over long-term goals.
Achieving success while doing work we enjoy is also not as predictable as, say, a corporate job. Some individuals see their corporate work as a service to others, whether they're serving their coworkers or indirect recipients. But more often than not, it's the paycheck that keeps them in their offices. Money, after all, can open doors for activities we really enjoy. Saving and preparing for a family's future is also one of the major reasons people choose higher paying jobs. None of these are unworthy goals.
The potential pitfalls of choosing work solely because we love it can be numerous. Seth Godin—who, if you don't know, advocates the pursuit of meaningful work—outlines these pitfalls thoroughly in an article from a couple of years ago.
Yet choosing work we enjoy can be rewarding, not only for ourselves but for our families and for our community. Making a documentary about surf camps, for example, "that provide free, therapeutic surf lessons to kids with cystic fibrosis" is a powerful way to impact a community; something as simple as home roasting coffee beans and selling them at the local farmer's market is yet another way to link people together.
If we truly love the work we do, we'll be devoted to it, willing to suffer for it, and consequently, be much better at it. There are times when hard work is not enough to accomplish something. Usually we need certain knowledge or the right opportunities in order to achieve success. But success isn't possible at all without devoted persistence.
As human beings created in God's image we find the most enjoyment and meaning when we act according to our natural skills and abilities, which includes the act of creating. By doing that which most fits and inspires us we'll be able to more fully serve our community (and create better art) as a result.
Even though money itself can be a means to better things, we frequently make the mistake of building our lives around it. Some people are able to make lots of money doing what they love, but for those of us who can't, is the loss of money worth the loss of utilizing the gifts God has given us?
It's okay for us to simply live and be and do. The wisdom of Ecclesiastes reminds me that, first, "all things have been done before," but also that living humbly, I can do work which is most suited to me. It isn't worth wasting time and energy in an attempt to achieve material wealth when it is not ultimately for the good of our families, for our community or for our own well-being. We should know who it is we want to be and what it is we want to do. Whether it means working to make money for the good of one's family and for added opportunities, or giving up material goods for the pursuit of higher things (like art, invention, discovery or the betterment of our community and society).

NEWINGTON, CT -- A customer at Chuck E. Cheese's here brandished a 0.38 caliber revolver and threatened another customer on Feb. 4, just 43 miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Tawana Bourne, 30, was there with her children and she reportedly used the gun to threaten another mother, who was also present with her kids.
Bourne was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and risk of injury to children, among other things. She was later freed on $50,000 bail, said local news outlets.
Chuck E. Cheese's staff acted quickly to summon police after Bourne pulled the gun, bringing the incident to a nonviolent close. CEC Entertainment Inc. said all weapons are banned at its locations and that it's evaluating the company's security. The children's entertainment chain has had to deal with several high-profile incidents involving unscrupulous adult customers in recent years. | SEE STORY

Browns enhance 2014 gameday fan experience at FirstEnergy Stadium
FirstEnergy Stadium renovation
Throughout Phase I of the two-year renovation project, the Browns emphasized elevating the fan experience and strengthening the team's home field advantage, led by the Dawg Pound. During one of the NFL's most extensive construction projects to take place over one offseason, the team erected two new Daktronics video boards nearly triple the size of the old units; added modernized LED monitors and ribbon boards; installed a state-of-the-art audio system; increased the lower-bowl seating capacity to improve sightlines; created fan decks to engage the Dawg Pound; and built two new escalators in each end zone, which will be fully accessible for the regular season to support stadium ingress and egress.
The Browns will also provide all fans a taste of Cleveland at FirstEnergy Stadium, extending the dining selections of local celebrity chefs Chris Hodgson, Jonathan Sawyer, Michael Symon and Rocco Whalen to general concession areas. In addition to the B Spot and Great Lakes Cheesesteaks stands, located in the west and east end zones, respectively, the team will implement new concession portables during the regular season that offer unique items from Hodgson's Downtown Dogs, Sawyer's Sausage & Peppers and Whalen's Great Lake Cheesesteaks.
In Phase II of the renovation project, to be completed prior to the 2015 season, the club will focus on general admission concessions, emphasizing local offerings; modernized club seats, suites and premium areas; new hospitality and fan engagement locations; and dramatic graphics throughout the concourses and the stadium's exterior.

Hi,Hi guys,
After so many trying i succeded to install BCM4323 Chipset USB-Wifi on Backtrack 5 x86 Gnome.
Just I want to share with you how i did this;
~~ My worked driver is here, you can download from there ~~
Choose Product : Air 2410
Choose Country : Turkey
Choose your version : v2
and choose the old driver : http://www.airties.com/firmwares/Air..._126.96.36.199.8.zip
Thats it
Going for installation now :
I used ndiswrapper for this installation.
First we need "Synaptic package manager" for install ndiswrapper.
After installing Synaptic just open it, and search ndiswrapper > allCode:root@bt:~# apt-get install synaptic
Choose this packages and install, after install reboot.
After Rebooting our system open terminal and start to install driver.
You can see all options for ndiswrapper and also how to install, anyway;Code:root@bt:~# ndiswrapper
after that commant you'll get result (installing)Code:root@bt:~# ndiswrapper -i <inf folder and inf file> (ex: /root/desktop/xp32/bcmwlhigh32.inf)
we need to check what is our driver name;
my driver name is : bcmwlhigh5Code:root@bt:~# ndiswrapper -l bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed device (1EDA:2410) present
then we'll connect driver and device. but first we need to find driver's ID (PCIID or USBID)
if our device is pci, then write console;
if our device is usb, then write console;Code:lspci -n
when i do this i got result like ;Code:lsusb
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1eda:2410 AirTies Wireless Networks (This is my USB-Wifi device)Code:root@bt:~# lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:0a15 Logitech, Inc.

I got the Device id : 1eda:2410
Then connect with driver and device id;
(as you see i got driver name and device id then write)Code:root@bt:~# ndiswrapper -a 1eda:2410 bcmwlhigh5
You will see a message like warning, ignore it. Yea, now it finished. Reboot the system.
Yes, driver is installed now, you can use it with "Wicd Network Manager"Code:root@bt:~# reboot
Note : When try to connect first time, you can get error like "wrong password" just ignore it and try again.
Thanks, cheers.
my WNDA3100v2 (BCM4323 chip) does not work with this procedure.
There are other ways?

Bring back big tobacco advertising
I don't know why the media keeps praising this circuit. I didn't like it at all. The bikes looked awkward on it, they made weird lines as if their rhythm was to be constantly interrupted. There was no flow, and I hated the big hairpin. There, I said it.


text: I was given friendly advice to post a new thread on my mock vs throwing it on someone else's thread. So here we go. FA signings: OG Andy Levitre DT Henry Melton Rd 1- DE Dion Jordan Rd 2- DT Sylvester Williams Rd 3- S Phillip Thomas Rd 4- OL Braxton Cave Rd 5- OT Brian Winters Rd 6- DE Devin Taylor With the signing of our 2 FA's and our draft we address our trenches by adding Levitre and Cave for the interior line and Winters can compete for the RT spot. On defense adding Melton and Williams helps our DT spots while Jordan and Taylor gives us some young DE's. Jordan is explosive and Taylor complimented Clowney on the opposite end at SC. Adding these 7 trench players will be an upgrade to the ones we currently have. Thomas will give us what we have been lacking for years; a safety who has range. He will be a good fit with Church and Johnson.

Lawyer: Pasadena man charged in fatal crash didn't see police behind him
The man accused of running a red light and killing two people in Pasadena as he was fleeing police never knew it was officers in the vehicle behind him, his lawyer said today.
After Darrell Williams, 22, appeared in court on a murder charge, defense attorney F. Freddy Sayegh said his client was followed by a black SUV with no police insignia.
"These were a bunch of kids enjoying their Christmas Day ... when an unmarked black vehicle starts following them for no reason," Sayegh said.
Pasadena police spokesmen were not immediately available for comment this morning.
In public statements, police have said they tried to pull over the Dodge Durango with Williams behind the wheel for a traffic violation about 8 p.m., but the car failed to stop, ran a red light at Marengo Avenue and Maple Street and hit a family's minivan.
A 25-year-old nurse from Glendale, Tracey Ong Tan, was killed along with her 11-year-old cousin, Kendrick Ng. Kendrick's family lives in Daly City near San Francisco, and they were visiting for the holidays.
They were returning from an ice-skating outing when their van was hit.
Williams, who's from Pasadena, and 21-year-old Brittany Washington of Los Angeles, his front-seat passenger, have been charged with murder. Both were being held today on multimillion-dollar bails.
At this morning's court hearing, their arraignment was delayed until Jan. 22. Family members or supporters of both defendants declined to comment outside the courtroom.
Pasadena police have said an FBI agent was in the car with their officer because the FBI was helping with gang enforcement in the wake of a fatal shooting early that day.
The earlier shooting killed Victor McClinton, a beloved coach who authorities say was caught in the line of fire during a gang shooting. Prosecutors said there's no evidence the shooting and the later pursuit of Williams are related.
Sayegh said it didn't make sense for an FBI agent working on gang suppression to pull over a car for running a stop sign.
"There's something just ain't right about this whole thing," he said.
Sayegh said he believes Williams will be exonerated.
Police said one of the people in the car threw out a handgun during the chase, which was later recovered. Sayegh said that was false and his client is not a gang member. The complaint filed by the District Attorney's Office says both Williams and Washington were associated with street gangs.
Williams has multiple convictions for robbery and also has been convicted of false imprisonment and providing alcohol to a minor. Washington has been convicted of driving without a license and of forgery for passing a fake $100 bill.

What explains the growing class divide between the well-educated and everybody else? Noted author Brink Lindsey, a senior scholar at the Kauffman Foundation, argues that it's because economic expansion is creating an increasingly complex world in which only a minority with the right knowledge and skills - the right "human capital" - reap the majority of the economic rewards. The complexity of today's economy is not only making these lucky elites richer - it is also making them smarter.
As the economy makes ever-greater demands on their minds, the successful are making ever-greater investments in education and other ways of increasing their human capital, expanding their cognitive skills and leading them to still higher levels of success. But unfortunately, even as the rich are securely riding this virtuous cycle, the poor are trapped in a vicious one, as a lack of human capital leads to family breakdown, unemployment, dysfunction, and further erosion of knowledge and skills.
In this brief, clear, and forthright audiobook, Lindsey shows how economic growth is creating unprecedented levels of human capital - and suggests how the huge benefits of this development can be spread beyond those who are already enjoying its rewards.
©2012 Princeton University Press (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Human Capitalism is a compelling and important account of how and why people are being left behind in an increasingly complex economy. This is a 'big think' book that is both deeper and broader than the usual polemical arguments about inequality. Regardless of which side of the political divide you sit on, Lindsey will likely stimulate and infuriate you in equal measure." (Tyler Cowen, author of The Great Stagnation)
"Providing an evenhanded approach to the heated issues surrounding human capital, this is a very strong and unusually well-written book that is also remarkable for squeezing so much into so few pages and making a wide range of scholarship accessible to general readers." (Steven Teles, Johns Hopkins University)
"crucial realities to comprehend "
This is one of the most interesting and well written books regarding the conditions and complexities in our modern society.

Hey I'm having some issues and needed some advice.
I'm running kernel 184.108.40.206 with an intel 4965 AGN wifi card.
I've patched drivers and managed to get the card in monitor mode and I
can inject (aireplay -9 returns good)
In an environment where there exists an associated client to an ap I use
aireplay -3 -b accesspoint -h associatedclient DEV
to start packet injection. Airodump shows that the client is sending huge amounts of
packets but the Data field under the access point doesn't increase and the number of captured ARP packets from the injection doesn't change. I've had it working
on previous occasions so I doubt distance etc is an issue.
modprobe -l iwl* returns
I'm not sure what other details you would need. Thanks in advance.
You doubt distance is an issue?
How far away is your other computer?
About 2 meters away. I think when I had it working the last time it was with
older drivers but I can't quite remember which ones.
I wonder how much success other people have had with Intel 4965 and
newer drivers. On a newer kernel version and the new drivers my card
would just freeze completely.
I'll give it another shot though.
o succes with bt3
bt4 doesnt recognize the chipset but lets me monitor even though i cant connect to any wireless nets
4965 agn still working on it
I had same problem as rounder24 everything is working fine but when i use the aireplay -3 attack it keeps on reading packets but 0 arps and 0 acks
i think when i am doing the fakeauth attack the injection drops i don't know why but it drops by using the airodump-ng -9 test it gives 0 after doing the fakeauth!!!!
It's beneficial to have some traffic on the network that you are doing the aireplay -3 attack on (such as watching a video or browsing).
You should be able to monitor and inject using a 4965 AGN - do a search for ochlocracy's 4965/fakeit.sh thread.

Pretty Little Liars is a series of young adult novel written by an American
writer, Sara Shepard. After receiving an undergraduate degree at New York University
and an MFA at Brooklyn College, she published Pretty Little Liars series as her
first publication in 2006.
The novel has its background set in suburb of
Philadelphia. The novel develops around lives of five teenage girls bonded together
in an exclusive clique led by one of the girls, Ali D. Ali is the queen bee who
manipulates the other girls who feel inferior to Ali. The group falls apart
following Ali's mysterious disappearance after the girls' sleepover in the sixth
grade. The novel takes place three years after Ali's disappearance and her dead body
is found. The girls start to get mysterious text messages from an anonymous person
with an initial A. She sends text messages threatening to reveal the girls' darkest
Hanna used to be a fat girl, but after Ali had gone, she lost weight and
recreated herself as a diva at Rosewood. She has a shoplifting habit and a fear of
losing newly gained popularity. Spencer is the smart one who excels in school,
sports, and everything else. Her sister Melisa is the only one she could never
overcome. Her family turns their back on her after she gets caught kissing her
sister's boyfriend. Aria moves to Iceland and comes back after three years have
passed. The Rosewood considers her as a weirdo. She tries to keep her dad's secret
of having an affair with his former student. Emily is a swimmer who had secret
feelings for Alison and after Alison is gone, she begins to have the same feelings
for a new girl named Maya. She struggles with her feelings and how the society will
view her.
Overall, the book is excellent for the way it is written. It is divided
into several small chapters. Each chapter covers a story of one of the four girls.
When a novel has so many main characters, it often gets confusing to follow and keep
track of the story and match characters to the story. However, Shepard does a good
job of keeping them in order by dedicating each chapter to one girl's story. It
makes you want to keep reading to find out what is happening in the other girls'
life while one girl is going through one issue. Its target audience being teenage
girls, the language is easy to read. The author uses slangs and contractions yet it
is completely acceptable because that is part of teenagers' vocabulary. Shepard
throws in popular culture so target readers can relate to the characters more
As far as the content of the book, I was slightly disappointed. The novel
pictures the girls engaged in inappropriate behaviors as teenagers, such as stealing
boyfriend's dad's car and wrecking it, shoplifting, desperately trying to have sex,
and finding a mom having sex with a police officer to drop charges. Just as how the
public criticizes TV and film for being gruesome, violent, and sexual and how they
promote such behaviors to especially young viewers, this novel is having the same
dilemma. The novel focuses on each girl's problems that are very likely to occur in
every normal girl's life in reality, such as breaking up with boyfriend, dealing
with parents' divorce, being popular at school, trying to lose weight and stay
skinny. However, Shepard goes too far in her effort to create a tie between her
characters and teenage girls in reality. I advise the reader to be aware.

man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
english bull for the win. here my dog! perfect as a guard dog and companion
I would get a decent security system, make sure my insurance is up to scratch & keep the pooch in my house
If I had to pick a guard dog though, I would go Doberman or Rottie.
Or my Ex...
just a quick question, have you trained any dogs for guarding/pp/sentry work? have you kept bullbreeds before? if you havent, think before you get one. both breeds you have mentioned have no natural guarding instinct in them, you have to work it out of them by converting their prey drive into a defensive drive. to get a decent AB in this country is hard enough and any decent breeder will want to check you out and see you know about dogs. Any good pitbull breeder.. well you wont know and they wouldnt sell to you as it aint a pp/guard dog, the ones that do sell to you just breed crap.
Whatever dog you get dont expect them to guard straightaway, without training them, it aint easy, if you dont do it properly and you have an aggressive dog you basically have a unpredictable problem.
me personally i think what you need is a f1 bandog or neo,
if you want info bout good dogs just pm me.
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
i pave a presa canario, he's a beast but i love him, awesome dog. he's a big softy really but he is naturally terratorial and goes off whenever someone walks past, you wouldnt break in if you saw him at the window, but if you did he isnt likely to do a whole lot. his dad however would eat a person, that was one dangerous dog, but he had been trained to be like that to protect a farm, so its how you bring them up. any of the molosser breeds have the presence you are after to be honest
Im not rushing and gonna pay an arm and a leg for training i just want a dog that will look "ard" and make a thief think twice.
Like i said too many junkies in the area when they high on crack they will rob any one for a fix and with 12 houses being broken into last month some one has to be at home the whole time now and people in the area dont feel safe walking around the street.
ICON Jiu Jitsu
The only bars i go to are Arm Bars, Knee Bars and a Mars Bar
i have a bordeaux he is a family guard dog, no one would dare come near my family or home because he would eat them 60 kg of muscle but he is soft as shit with us
Ive had Bull Terriers all my life as my dad loves them.
Beatiful dogs, great for families, violent fuckers with any bigger dogs though.
BJJ White belt, 2 stripes.

(Green Bay, WI): The AITP Region 5 Fall Conference, hosted by the Northeastern Wisconsin chapter, was a resounding success. Held at the Radisson Hotel and Convention Center in Green Bay on October 10-11, the conference provided the venue for the AITP Annual Meeting of the Members, the Association Board Meeting, and the Region 5 Board Meeting and Leadership Workshop. It also included 9 informative seminar sessions on topics ranging from new technologies to career planning to improving management skills as well as 15 sponsor exhibits.
The conference was attended by 174 participants from across the U.S. (90 professional members, 34 student members and 50 non-members).
The Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter has a "thing" for guys named "Steve". Pictured left to right at the conference registration table is Steve Femal (Past Chapter President), Steve Gilsdorf (current Chapter Treasurer) and Steve Krueger (Past Chapter President)
The conference kicked off on Wednesday, October 10 with the AITP Annual Meeting of the Members presided over by Association President, Norbert Kubilus. President Kubilus, assisted by other Association officers, updated the standing room only audience on the accomplishments of 2011 as well as the status of current ongoing projects AITP is involved in. President Kubilus presented Eric Hungate, 2011 President of the Austin, Texas chapter, with the Association Outstanding Chapter Award (the William F. Howell Cup) for 2011. The meeting also served as the forum for presenting Norbert Kubilus with his Emerald Lifetime Achievement Award.

The first day's activities concluded with a social hour and Italian buffet banquet dinner. The featured banquet speaker was President Kubilus on the topic "The Future of Information Technology – and AITP's Role". After his great speech, Norbert was presented with an Aaron Rogers Green Bay Packer jersey and a genuine "Cheese Head" by Chris Nimmer, incoming Region 5 President, on behalf of the Northeastern Wisconsin chapter and Region 5. Then there were numerous sponsor door prize drawings for great prizes (AND "Lucky Larry" got shut out!! – a first.)

The attendees then adjourned to the Hospitality Suite provided courtesy of Region 5, or took the free gaming coupons included in their conference 'goodie' bag and ventured into the adjoining casino.
Thursday's activities included the Region 5 Board meeting and the Chapter Leadership Workshop. The theme of the Workshop was "How to Recruit New Members – and Keep Them". Both sessions were well attended with many observers from the Association Board as well as other Region 5 members and members of other Regions. The Workshop, facilitated by Mark Gilfand, Region 5 Vice President, and Larry Schmitz, Region 5 President, proved to be a lively discussion of various ideas that chapters can use to build their membership and provide value to those members once they join AITP. Documents used in the Workshop presentations are available at http://www.aitp.org/region5 under "Region Information".
The Region 5 Chapter Leadership Workshop evoked many good suggestions on how chapters can grow their membership--and keep existing members active and renewing their memberships. There was also great group interaction on how we can attract former student members and newer IT professionals to the ranks of the professional membership.
As is true of any successful undertaking of this type, there are many people to thank for their help in planning, organizing and putting on this conference. They include:
Conference Sponsors:
Silver Sponsors:
Bronze Sponsors
Conference attendees took the opportunity to visit sponsor booths.

Others Who Deserve Our Thanks:
As you can see, the credit for the success of this conference can be shared by a lot of people--that is how AITP works best. "We built it, and they came" (no government funds involved – grin – couldn't resist). And I want to acknowledge and thank all the attendees. Without you, we would have had no conference. Let's do this again!!

Fire Chief Steps Aside
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Thursday he had asked Fire Department Chief Engineer Brian Cummings to step aside.
Garcetti said he'd grown frustrated with problems tracking emergency response times and the slow adoption of new technology.
"This is a life and death department," Garcetti said.
"One in which response times matter, and I've not seen enough movement there."
Cummings will be temporarily replaced by the head of the City's Emergency Management Department and will officially retire in February, 2014.

FOX's Special Report downplayed concerns over Negroponte's questionable actions in Honduras
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Reports on the nomination of John D. Negroponte, currently U.S. ambassador to Iraq, to be national intelligence director by major news outlets like the Associated Press, USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times, NBC News and others all mentioned that critics have questioned Negroponte's role as ambassador to Honduras in allegedly condoning -- or, at least, failing to protest -- human rights abuses by CIA-backed death squads in that country.
But on the February 17 edition of FOX News' Special Report with Brit Hume, chief White House correspondent Carl Cameron referred to such criticism in terms that gave no hint of the gravity of the allegations. After noting that "there are clear signs that he can expect a smooth set of confirmation[s] on Capitol Hill," Cameron reported that "[t]he only partisan criticism noted Negroponte's role as U.S. ambassador to Honduras in the '80s, when he played a key role in the Reagan administration's covert disruption of communism in the Nicaragua." Cameron's use of "covert" obscures the fact that the Reagan administration's support for the Contra war against the Sandinistas was "covert" because it was illegal; Congress had outlawed such support in 1982-83.
By contrast, the AP noted that "[h]uman rights groups alleged that Negroponte acquiesced in rights abuses by Honduran death squads funded and partly trained by the CIA."
Later on Special Report, during the "FOX All-Star Panel," syndicated Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer opined that Negroponte's success in avoiding prison for his actions in Honduras is a point in his favor:
KRAUTHAMMER: This guy has a lot of experience as a Foreign Service officer. And for instance, he was the ambassador in Honduras during the Contra war. So he clearly knows how to deal with clandestine operations. That was a pretty clandestine one for several years. And he didn't end up in jail, which is a pretty good attribute for him. A lot of others practically did.
These were the only references to Negroponte's tenure in Honduras during the February 17 edition of Special Report.
Here's how other major news outlets reported on Negroponte's experience in Honduras:
- ANDREA MITCHELL (NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent): "A career diplomat, Negroponte has spent the past 40 years in hot spots from Vietnam to Baghdad. At the UN, he helped make the case against Saddam Hussein. As Ronald Reagan's ambassador to Honduras, he was accused of ignoring death squads and America's secret war against Nicaragua." [NBC Nightly News, 2/17/05]
- DAVID MARTIN (CBS News national security correspondent): "Negroponte emerged unscathed, although he continues to be dogged by accusations he knew too much and protested too little about the activities of Honduran death squads. But no one was ever able to pin anything on him, which, said one of his colleagues, is exactly what the president would want in his intelligence czar." [CBS Evening News, 2/17/05]
- ED HENRY (CNN correspondent): "The allegations were that Ambassador Negroponte at that time, in the early '80s, was involved in this guerrilla war against the Sandinista government, but also that he perhaps knew about or was involved in human rights abuses. Those allegations are going to resurface, as Richard Roth mentioned. It held up his nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the U.N. for six months. It's going to come back." [CNN's American Morning, 2/17/05]
- Associated Press (2/17/05):
- The Washington Post (2/18/05):
- USA Today (2/17/05):
- The New York Times (2/18):
- The Boston Globe (2/18/05):
- Los Angeles Times (2/18/05):
- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (2/18/05):
- The Baltimore Sun (2/18/05):
- Bloomberg (2/17/05):
- United Press International (2/17/05):
John Negroponte, now U.S. ambassador to Iraq, served as ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985, a time of intense conflict in Central America in which the United States played a central role. The Reagan administration feared that leftist rebels were leading Central American countries toward totalitarian regimes.
Negroponte assisted the U.S.-backed Contra rebels in their attempt to overthrow Nicaragua's left-wing Sandinista government. In the process, activists claim, he ignored human rights abuses by the rebels and their Honduran hosts. ...
The new U.S. intelligence chief has denied accusations that his reports to Washington dramatically underplayed human rights problems in Honduras.
During 2001 confirmation hearings for his U.N. ambassadorship -- an appointment that was delayed for six months because of the controversy over his tenure in Honduras -- Negroponte testified that he did not believe death squads were operating in Honduras.
However, a 1993 Honduran government human rights report said 184 suspected leftists had disappeared in government custody, many of them at the hands of a U.S.-trained Honduran army battalion.
His confirmation hearing may revisit his service as ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s, when the Honduran military's Battalion 3-16, which had received CIA training, took part in the torture and killing of citizens accused of being rebels. Reports filed by Negroponte's embassy at the time did not note the human rights violations.
Negroponte's nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 2001 was delayed for months because human rights groups protested his role in Honduras. At the hearings, he testified that he did not think the death squads operated in that country. He has said he served "honorably and conscientiously in a manner fully consistent with and faithful to applicable laws and policies."
Negroponte's 2001 confirmation as U.N. ambassador was delayed by criticism of his record as ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. Human rights groups charged that he tolerated abuses by "death squads" trained by the CIA. He denied knowing about abuses.
In his previous confirmation hearings, Mr. Negroponte was asked about his time in Honduras in the 1980's. At that time the C.I.A. station and the embassy were accused of turning a blind eye to abuses by the Hondurans, and of shading reports of the situation in the country for political or ideological reasons.
Negroponte was the US ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985, and he has faced persistent questions over whether he knowingly allowed human rights abuses conducted by a Honduran death squad that was trained in part by the CIA. Negroponte has denied wrongdoing and testified before a Senate panel that he did not believe the Honduran government was formally involved in the death squad.
While in Honduras, Negroponte was accused of ignoring human rights abuses, including slayings by Honduran death squads, in order to allow the U.S. to continue using the country as a base for its covert campaign against the leftist government in neighboring Nicaragua.
Negroponte denies the accusations, but his nomination renewed criticism from human rights groups and others.
As U.S. ambassador to Honduras' military-run government from 1981 to 1985, Negroponte was suspected of a key role in carrying out the covert strategy of the Reagan administration to crush the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
Honduras itself was accused of human rights abuses while Negroponte held the ambassador's post. Negroponte's nomination for the U.N. ambassadorship was confirmed by the Senate in September 2001 only after a half-year delay caused mostly by criticism of his record in Honduras.
Central American politicians and human rights activists issued stinging criticism Thursday of Negroponte.
Negroponte did not enjoy universal plaudits. Reed Brody, a spokesman for Human Rights Watch, said Negroponte's tenure as ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985 raised concerns. "He looked the other way when atrocities were occurring. He was the ostrich ambassador; he never saw anything wrong," Brody said.
Brody was referring to human rights violations committed by a CIA-trained Honduran military unit known as Battalion 316. The Sun, which chronicled the atrocities in a 1995 series, said Negroponte, as ambassador, knew about them and concealed them. Negroponte denied the accusation, saying in a statement to The Sun in 1995: "At no time during my tenure in Honduras did the embassy condone or conceal human rights violations."
In May, the Senate voted 95-3 to confirm him as ambassador to Iraq. In casting one of the dissenting votes, Senator Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, said there are questions about whether he covered up human rights abuses while he was ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s during the administration of President Ronald Reagan.
At a 2001 confirmation hearing to be UN ambassador, Negroponte said he followed all "applicable laws and policies'' while serving in Honduras.
The veteran diplomat may face a test in Senate confirmation hearings because he carries some unwanted baggage from a Central America tour, namely charges he ignored human-rights violations and may even have, at least tacitly, allowed the illegal arming of "Contras" to overthrow the Sandinista regime in neighboring Nicaragua under President Reagan. During his time as ambassador to Honduras in the early 1980s he was accused of turning a blind eye toward kidnappings and torture in the country. At the time, human-rights groups say, the CIA sponsored the infamous 3-16 battalion of the Honduran army that had a death squad involved in disappearances, rape, kidnappings and torture. Negroponte is said to have done nothing about it.

Related stories: School didn't come easy to Yucaipa-Calimesa teacher of the year | Central Elementary math teacher honored as a county teacher of the year | Award-winning Fontana teacher thrives on teamwork
BARSTOW - Teaching wasn't Donna Gregg's original plan. It wasn't even her backup plan.
"I never played school, I never wanted to be a teacher."
She had hoped to become a veterinarian, but both her high school and college counselors warned her that the veterinary school at UC Davis - the nearest veterinary school in the late 1970s - simply didn't admit women.
"I thought `I don't know what I'm going to do then."'
While trying to figure things out, she taught a sign language class back home in Barstow and became excited about the possibility of doing that for a living - but was told the sign language teacher she was assisting wasn't going any place any time soon.
"My mother said, 'You're going to be 40 with a degree or without a degree. One way or the other, you're going to be 40. So what do you want to do?"'
What she decided to do was complete her college education with a liberal studies degree from Cal State San Bernardino.
As she closed in on a diploma, she spent a summer house-sitting for a local principal and his family. When he returned home, he told her that if there was ever anything he could do for her, she should just name it: She told him she wanted a job teaching fifth grade.
One teacher leaving school with little warning shortly before the beginning of the school year, and some hasty calls to CSUSB, and Gregg had her teaching position.
It's worked out: This year, Gregg was named the Teacher of the Year for Montara Elementary, where she teaches sixth grade, and for the Barstow Unified School District. And on Oct. 1, she'll be honored by the San Bernardino County Board of Education as one of the county's four Teachers of the Year.
"If my signs are the same, my answers are ..." Gregg said, pacing the front of Room 26, a portable classroom at Montara, where she attended school as a child.
"...Positive," the class responded.
"If they are different, they are ..."
She's never been tempted by the chance to teach younger kids in her 23 years in education.
"I love big kids," she said. "I love their sense of humor. I love being able to communicate with them."
After five years of teaching elementary school students, she expanded to adult education, with students who told her just what it meant to them to get a second chance to complete their education.
"It touches you. It just moves you," she said. "I know I'm in the right spot."
"She's taught when the budget is really good, like in 2001, and we're hiring, and now she's taught when it's bad," said Principal Keith Acedo, who's worked with Gregg at two schools. "She's always upbeat."
Gregg credits her success to her infectious enthusiasm and her use of data to learn what students are getting out of classroom instruction.
"Analyzing student assessment data is only the first step. This information must be applied in the classroom before any real change occurs," Gregg's essay for her county teacher of the year application reads, in part. "Allowing my data to drive my curriculum has helped me to improve the learning for students in my classroom."
Her sixth-graders have seen the adult students she teaches stopping by the classroom to tell her when they've passed the GED test.
"It is my belief that every student is capable of learning when they are actively and deeply involved in their education," her essay continues. "Students must see the relevance of learning as a connection to their own lives to become life-long learners."
Although Gregg didn't end up where she originally intended to, she says she's ended up loving the profession she ended up in.
"The rewards I find in teaching are numerous," her essay reads in part. "Bountiful summer vacations, short work days and comparably good pay. Kids are great. Teaching is a blast, most of the time, so the fact that I get to go to a job every day and interact (with) and influence young minds leaves me speechless - a pretty amazing feat!
"Truthfully, the real rewards come from the relationship I build with each student, learning about their interests, abilities, discovering their learning styles, understanding their culture and how each deserves the opportunity to be educated and successful."
"She's one of our best," Acedo said.

Yup, it's a interactive thread. I don't think i need to explain the rules. Also, i would like serious answers you guys would actually try in adventure games like Grim Fandango or 5 Days a Stranger instead of "Wank".
Oh and anytime you wish to see your inventory just say "Check Inventory".
You wake up. You can't see nothing. It is all pure black, no sound, nothing, except the feeling of cold steel.

Gaviglio fires five scoreless frames
Cardinals right-hander sharp in debut of new challenge system
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | November 5, 2013 8:10 PM ET
Cardinals prospect Sam Gaviglio entered the offseason looking to improve all aspects of his game on the mound.
Things started a little rocky for the right-hander after giving up 10 runs over his first three appearances in the Arizona Fall League. But Tuesday, he went back to simplifying things as in doing so delivered his second straight scoreless start.
Gaviglio yielded two hits and a walk while striking out two batters over five innings as the host Salt River Rafters blanked the Mesa Solar Sox, 8-0.
"I felt pretty good, especially once we got that lead. I wanted to get ahead of hitters," said Gaviglio, who is in his third year of pro ball. "[The first three starts], I think I was trying to do too much and not throwing my sinker enough.
"My emphasis is my off-speed. That's something the Cardinals want me to work on and that needs to get better. Also, my fastball command and make sure I'm getting ahead of hitters."
Gaviglio erased No. 2 Cubs prospect Albert Almora's leadoff single to start the game by getting Tyler Collins (Tigers) to hit into a double play.
He set down the side in order in the second frame after umpires went to the replay to uphold No. 2 Angels prospect C.J. Cron's groundout and the Oregon State product forced an around-the-horn double play to work around a walk and error in the third.
It marked the first time the new challenge system -- currently in a testing phase before being rolled out across baseball next season -- was used in a professional game.
A second video review in the fourth confirmed Rockies infielder Kyle Parker's throw to Gaviglio at first beat Collins to begin a 1-2-3 frame. An inning later, he unfurled his third double-play ball to complete the fifth after instant replay confirmed Tim Wheeler (Rockies) was unable to snare Nationals farmhand Matt Skole's sinking line drive.
"It's always nice to get the call right," Gaviglio said of the challenge system. "But I felt it kind of killed the momentum of the game, especially since we knew the outcome.
"You get a quick out and then you're sitting there on the mound waiting for them to make a call on the play or vice versa."
Henry Garcia (D-backs) worked around a hit in the sixth and Tyler Matzek (Rockies) struck out one batter in a scoreless seventh. Fellow Cardinals prospect Anthony Ferrara fanned a pair of Solar Sox in the eighth and Matt Stites (Padres) sealed the shutout with a perfect ninth.
Offensively, the Rafters did most of their damage in a seven-run third that gave Gaviglio more than enough breathing room to work with.
Jacob Wilson (Cardinals) doubled home two runs in the inning. The others came on first baseman Cron's fielding error, a run-scoring groundout, a deflected base hit, an infield single on a popup to shortstop and a sacrifice fly ball.
Arizona's Nick Ahmed added an eighth run in the eighth before officials reviewed -- and confirmed -- their fourth challenged decision of the evening when Dustin Garneau grounded out for the second out of the inning.
"I think it's always great when you get a big lead," Gaviglio said. "Then I just had to attack the zone and make the hitters hit it instead of making it too fine."
In five AFL starts, the right-hander is 2-0 with a 3.97 ERA and 17 strikeouts over 22 2/3 innings.
The 23-year-old went 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in nine games -- including eight starts -- between the Cardinals' Gulf Coast League affiliate and Class A Advanced Palm Beach this year.
Mesa starter Dallas Beller (3-1) allowed seven unearned runs on four hits and two walks over 2 2/3 innings.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by juck, Jul 8, 2012.
One week. Who's excited? I am ready!
I just started watching the first season.
Pretty good show.
I've gone through about 5 episodes in the last day or two.
You're in for a treat
You got that right.
I need to catch up... on multiple seasons. This show is awesome, I don't know why I'm not caught up.
I AM the danger!!!!!!
Best show on TV
Been waiting for so long, then like a *******... I go and schedule a trip to Paso Robles with the wife that night!
It just keeps on getting better.
Agreed. The writing and the acting are amazing. I can't freaking wait to see Walter become the villain even more.
I need Dish to suck it up and renew a deal with AMC or I won't be watching it on the 15th.
Unfortunately I cannot switch from Dish either as my apartment has a contract with them and will charge me a ridiculous amount of money to get cable or DirectTV installed.
My fiancée and I just finished season one. We're hooked.
I kid you not...EVERY person that I've turned onto this show comes back and says something close to "I watched 5 episodes in a row. It's such an awesome show". It was already on season 2 by the time I started, and the same was true for me. HOOKED.
Plenty of ways to obtain an episode
Thanks for the reminder...did not realize it was starting back up already.
Haha yep, watching the first 4 seasons.
Yep. Only show that is better is The Wire.
Finished watching Season 4 last weekend... ready for the fifth and final!
Great show...
Best show on TV might force me to get cable again.
Okay, I'm really not trying to toot my own horn around here, but I just got hired as a new Entertainment writer for the newspaper in Bethany, Oklahoma, and my first article was a review of The Amazing Spider-Man, so I posted my review in that thread. And my second article? A writeup on Breaking Bad, so I'm posting it in this thread.
Breaking Bad: Why You Need To Catch Up On The Best Show On Television
You are officially on the clock. This Sunday at 9pm (Oklahoma Standard Time), the best show on television kicks off its sure to be epic final season. Which means you have precious little time to catch up and see what all the hype is about and why I'm about to make a really bold statement: with apologies to "Dexter", "Mad Men", "Game of Thrones" and "Modern Family", there is currently no better series on television than "Breaking Bad". So how did a show about a high school chemistry teacher who finds out he has cancer and uses his smarts to start a meth lab with the idea of leaving a lot of cash for his family once he dies become the greatest thing on TV? For those who won't just take some new entertainment writer's word for it and need specifics, the following are the top five reasons why you should be watching "Breaking Bad".
1. The acting. There's a reason why Bryan Cranston won three straight Emmys for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series (coming in September: a fourth straight win, book it). If you are having a hard time believing that the goofy dad from "Malcolm In The Middle" has the acting chops to pull off a morally ambiguous chemistry genius who becomes a serious drug dealer, nobody would fault you. But then again, nobody thought that the Fresh Prince would be nominated for two Oscars when he was making fun of Carlton's dance moves 20 years ago either. Cranston's turn as Walter White is the most critically acclaimed and most revelatory performance on the boob tube since James Gandolfini was a therapy bound mafia boss on "The Sopranos". And it's not just Cranston. Playing White's partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman, former "Big Love" alumni Aaron Paul has won an Emmy himself for Best Supporting Actor. The entire cast is sensational, and they stand toe to toe with the cast of "Mad Men" and "Game of Thrones" as the best ensemble in the biz.
2. The writing. How many times have you been watching a show, and a line of dialogue or a plotline that causes you to abandon any sort of suspension of disbelief just makes you roll your eyes? If you're a fan of any "CSI" series that stars David Caruso, this happens about ten to one hundred times an episode. But I can count on a closed fist the number of times you'll roll your eyes in response to any of the brilliant writing in "Breaking Bad". The story feels organic and real, it's never forced or emotionally manipulative. Any mystery or dangling plotline that is keeping you guessing is always addressed and tied up in a completely unpredictable, but always believable, fashion. For all the prospective writers out there, watching "Breaking Bad" is like taking a master's class, but without all the awful homework.
3. Brainy entertainment. Rare is the television show that is smart enough to tickle your mind on a deep level while simultaneously entertaining the thrillseeker within. Fellow AMC award winner "Mad Men" is an example of a slow burning show that's appreciated because of its smart writing and production values, but sometimes it's as fun as getting a tooth pulled. On the other end of the spectrum, the "True Blood"s and "Real Housewives of New Jersey"s of the world are trashy fun, but have as much brains as Dorothy's straw-stuffed friend. "Breaking Bad" is the perfect storm of intelligent writing that slowly builds to big payoffs while constantly brimming with high stakes moments, criminal plots, hilarious bits of dialogue and mesmerizing performances.
4. The storyline. Television has long been fascinated with the criminal underworld, but it's never quite been done like this before. Audiences are used to seeing morally void psychopaths preying on innocent victims, not sweet natured high school teachers dying of cancer delving into darkness. Just as in real life, the deeper Walter White gets his hooks into the drug business, the more dire the consequences. We watch White work his way up the drug food chain, and as he climbs that ladder, the scarier his enemies become, and the more he himself "breaks bad".
5. Moral ambiguity. One of the most fascinating aspects of "Breaking Bad" is how it is consistently causing the viewer to question its characters' motivations and actions. Better yet, you can't help but to imagine yourself in the same situations as these people and wonder what you would do in their circumstances. It's a theme that "Breaking Bad" thrives on: are these good guys or are these bad guys? Heroes and villains used to be so easy to classify. Sheriff Andy Taylor, definite good guy. The One-Armed Man, definite bad guy. As for Walter White, mild mannered high school science teacher and loving husband and father by day, violent and calculating drug kingpin by night? I've watched every single second of "Breaking Bad" since its premiere 4 years ago, and I still have no idea whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. But I sure do love trying to figure it out.
The clock is ticking. Rush down to your local video store immediately (if you can find one). Borrow the DVD's from that friend who has been bugging you to watch this show for the past two years. Shift your priorities on your Netflix queue. Sorry, Season 9 of "Project Runway" can wait. Catching up on the best series on television cannot. Tick tock.
