Been reading the stories, lots about young guys getting their penises trapped and mutilated so they cant masturbate any more. I like that. I am 19. Two stories seem to be true, Teen Penises Trapped (in two parts). Instead of cutting the penis off it was damaged. I would love to discuss penis mutilation and masturbation discipline with anyone interested. Specially the sort of technique described in these stories, but any others too.

D.C. jail art program
October 11, 2010 - 07:48 am
Once a private art instructor, Mia Choumenkovitch never dreamed she would teach art to inmates.
It all started in the 1970s when a friend asked her to teach an art class at Lorton -- the D.C. prison in Virginia. She said yes, but there was a condition. She agreed to design the program and then have it turned over to the corrections department so that they could find instructors.
Fast forward to 2010, and Mia is still teaching art to her "guys", whom she says treat her like a mother.

When Miley Cyrus isn't parking in handicapped spots while at Pilates class, her friends are suggesting the former Disney star dump her current Hunger Games actor boyfriend Liam Hemsworth! Even daughter of Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, "is always telling her that she can do better than Liam," according to an insider via Star magazine.
WHY such distaste for the 22-year-old Australian hunk? A source revealed: "He's bossy and controlling, and it's just understood that Miley always pays for them. Her pals all think he's just a dumb surfer and a pothead. Everyone would breathe a big sigh of relief if she dumped Liam and moved on."
Now before I read this snippet from Star mag, I viewed this preview of Miley pranking Liam on the new season of MTV's famed series Punk'd. Watch how mad he gets when Miley tells him there's a naked couple in her car. LOL. Liam quickly runs to her SUV and is seen banging on the window while yelling, "Get out of the f**king car right now!" I can see totally imagine him being scary mad to Miley in private too!!!!

Instead of having regular fake spoiled wives, this spoof includes Disney movie characters Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Snow White. Linds played Rapunzel - the blond babe with hair to the floor - although Snow White might have been more appropriate for her.... lol.

Bethenny Frankel: My Husband And I Don't Like Each Other
In an upcoming episode of Bethenny Ever After, 41-year-old Bethenny Frankel admits the root of her marriage problems stem from the concept that her and her husband Jason Hoppy simply don't like each other.
She starts out by branding her hubby of two years as "a good boy that just wants to be bad" and informs him of a weekend boat trip with a therapist that specializes in all things going wrong in marriage. Jason then asks Beth, "So I'm basically going to be analyzed my whole weekend?" Before Jason could finish this thought, "I think the one issue we've been having in our second year of marriage...", Bethenny asked: "Besides not liking each other?"
In a previous moment Beth elaborated on the couple's bickering explaining: "We come from totally different backgrounds, and we're going through it. I'm in therapy. I've always been good at business, but I've always struggled with relationships based on my background, and we kind of get into that this season. What's funny is we're not that opposite in the sense that we're both wildly inappropriate. We're not that opposite in the sense that we're both extremely money-conscious, frugal, and definitely have what I call 'Money noise,' because he's had the same job for 12 years and actually makes a good living."

In a heartfelt video posted on his Viddy account, Trawick praised the singer for her work on The X Factor USA.
"Princess, we just completed our first weekend in Austin on X Factor," he says in the video. "Just wanted to say I'm very proud of you and I love you so much. Congratulations."
After watching the video, Spears tweeted her love back at her fiancé, writing: "Awww love you too Xoxo (sic)."
Rumours emerged earlier this week that Spears had walked off the set of The X Factor USA, but she quickly denied the reports.
Fellow judge Simon Cowell rose to the singer's defence, insisting that there had been no walk-offs on the show.
Spears signed a $15 million (£9.3m) deal to serve as a judge on The X Factor USA.

The last year has seen internet folk superstar Jonathan Coulton expand his scope, but he's not leaving his roots behind.
What: Jonathan Coulton Band
Where: Guthrie Theater, McGuire Proscenium Stage, 818 S. Second St.
When: 7:30 p.m., June 18
Cost: $27
You won't hear many people besmirch Kanye West 'round these parts, but if we're being honest, Jonathan Coulton beat 'Ye to the "give away a song a week" game ages ago.
Back in 2005, Coulton left his job as a computer programmer to self-record 52 nerdy folk songs about zombies participating in office politics ("RE: Your Brains"), a mad scientist who falls in love with his captive ("Skullcrusher Mountain"), and an adorable acoustic cover of "Baby Got Back."
Coulton began selling his home-recorded music through a bare-bones website. He also used social networking, still in its infancy, to advertise. Coulton was a pioneer and not just because he wore a coonskin cap to gigs. But these days, he said, the approach isn't that unusual.
"I don't feel like I'm particularly cutting-edge anymore," Coulton said. "MP3s were still rather new when I was first starting, and podcasts were new. There wasn't a Twitter yet. The landscape has really changed."
Coulton himself has also changed. He has a dedicated following online and is making major bank — $500,000 in 2010, according to an interview with NPR. He toured with fellow nerdy rockers They Might Be Giants, and contributed music to "Portal" and its sequel.
With his profile growing, Coulton has also left behind some of his DIY approach. He recorded his latest album, "Artificial Heart" with a full band for the first time. "Artificial Heart" is something of a coming out party for Coulton. After being pulled out of his isolated recording process by They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh, who produced the album, he said it was scary but thrilling to make his private writing and recording process public for the first time.
"Part of the challenge was sharing unfinished things with my hero John Flansburgh," Coulton said. "I felt a lot more pressure to be good and for the songs to be good."
Besides evolving sonically, "Artificial Heart" moves away from geeky subject matter, and focuses instead on turning 40, frustrations with work and failed relationships. Coulton said he was a little worried about alienating his original audience with these more direct lyrics, but ultimately "Artificial Heart" doesn't lose Coulton's voice just because it ditches the sci-fi references.
Coulton's songs always had a lot of heart to begin with. The self-loathing of the giant squid narrator in "I Crush Everything" came from some place real, as did the dissatisfaction in "Code Monkey," which stems from Coulton's experiences in his old job.
"You can certainly write a song about a giant squid that's just about a giant squid," Coulton said. "But I think it's a lot more interesting to write a song about a giant squid that's really about something else."
Despite enjoying the success of a musician that's signed to a label, Coulton said he hasn't lost sight of his origins. He's selling "Artificial Heart" himself and continues to be realistic and clear-eyed about the ongoing debate surrounding media and the internet.
It's a very exciting time to be an artist, Coulton said, and now that he's in a stable, comfortable place, he's excited to see what new artists will do and where the conversation will go.
"The cat's out of the bag: The internet is big," he said. "But if we can figure out the nuanced parts of these discussions, that's when we're going to really leverage this incredible technological gift we've given ourselves into something that's truly amazing."

House wants Statue of Liberty crown open
By DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer
A close up of the Statue of Liberty is seen in this undated photo.
WASHINGTON - The House is prodding parks officials to reopen the crown of the Statue of Liberty to the public — a step the government says is too dangerous.
Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., for the second year in a row added an amendment to a spending bill giving the National Park Service $1 million to study how to safely reopen the staircase to the statue's crown — something prohibited since the 2001 terror attacks.
"I'm not going to stop pushing on it and I think it's reasonable to expect that sooner or later they're going to have to answer," he said.
Tuesday's amendment, passed Tuesday by voice vote, does not force the park service to reopen the statue, and the agency has claimed the tightly packed, 168-step spiral metal staircase is a fire hazard and a terror risk.
Tourists are now allowed only as far as the pedestal, at Lady Liberty's toes.
The Weiner amendment redirects $1 million in funding from the Interior Department to the park service, which could use the money for safety improvements at the statue or for other purposes.
Last year after passage of a similar bill, the park service said safety did not permit the crown to be reopened. Weiner said that since then he has not been told what, if anything, was done with the money he set aside.
The lawmaker said the park service should listen to the advice of Congress and "restore the Statue of Liberty to her full glory."
National Park Service officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The statue, which sits on 12-acre Liberty Island in New York Harbor, was shut down after Sept. 11, 2001. After spending $20 million on security and safety improvements, the government reopened the statue in 2004.
New security measures included a bomb detection device that blows air into clothing and then checks for particles of explosives residue. Bomb-sniffing dogs also have been seen at the site.
The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886 and was designated a national monument in 1924. It was restored for its centennial on July 4, 1986. Its torch has been closed since 1916.

i dont see why it isnt open, you are screened twice with airport style gates and a weird machine that blows air at you to see if anything is stuck to your body. and you must take everything out of your pockets.
I think the main danger at the statue is an attack on the circle line boats from outwith or someone parking their boat at the side of the statue at high tide and jumping over the fence so imo you should be allowed in the crown.

Lady Liberty misses ' 7 Wonders' cut
The Great Wall of China, the Colosseum in Rome and Peru's Machu Picchu are leading contenders to be among the new seven wonders of the world, but the Statue of Liberty is languishing in the bottom 10.
Lady Liberty is in good company, though: Stonehenge and the Kremlin are struggling, too.
The final round of an international poll draws to a close at 8 tonight, and 90 million people from every country in the world have voted by Internet or phone, according to representatives for the "New 7 Wonders of the World" campaign. Votes are still coming in, although the field has been narrowed to 20 candidates. The winners will be announced tomorrow in Lisbon.
"There are not many things that could bring the world together like global culture ... this is really something that every single person in the world can be interested in," said Tia Viering, spokeswoman for the group. The Web site is www.new7wonders.com.
Others among the top 10: the Acropolis in Greece, Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Easter Island, Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Taj Mahal in India and Jordan's ancient city of Petra.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are the only surviving structures from the traditional list of the seven wonders of the ancient world, which was derived from lists of marvels compiled by ancient Greek observers, the best-known being Antipater of Sidon, a writer in the 2nd century B.C. The pyramids' status was assured after Egyptian officials said it was a disgrace they had to compete for a spot, so there will be eight wonders of the world when the new list is complete.
Swiss adventurer Bernard Weber began the campaign in 1999, with almost 200 nominations from around the world. The list was narrowed to 21 by the start of last year, then Giza was taken out of the running when it was given an automatic spot.
The six original sites that no longer exist, concentrated in the Mediterranean and Middle East, are the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Pharos lighthouse off Alexandria.
Weber's Switzerland-based foundation says it aims to promote cultural diversity by supporting, preserving and restoring monuments.

7 wonders, really?
Really stupid. This contest and the new seven wonders will be forgotten in a week. Even the old seven wonders were not really representative, just a local affair of the Near East, as they left China and India and lots of other places that surely had spectacular sites.
Lady Liberty to break free of lines; reopening uncertain
By Jennifer Milne and Joe Orovic
Fanning herself in the late morning sun, Ana Brouman checked her watch. The wait isnt that bad, but its the heat, she said, counting how many people were in front of her in line. Brouman was on her second visit to the city in 34 years, leaving behind San Diego sun for a bit of New York heat. Last time I came here, I waited a good 20 minutes to see the Statue of Liberty. Today doesnt seem so bad.
About 20 people waited in line not a small number considering it was a Monday morning. And while eagerly waiting to visit the big green lady on Liberty Island, some felt a bit cheated. A disheveled Brooklyn native who called himself Chuck asked the crowd, Whats the point? You cant go to the top! A middle-aged couple confirmed this with others before leaving for an early lunch at the Carnegie Deli.
But things may be looking up for Lady Libertys visitors. The era of waiting in line should soon be over and, if U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner of Brooklyn has his way, her crown will be reopened as well.
After 9/11, the statue was completely closed for security reasons. In August 2004, the pedestal of the monument reopened, with the statue closed. Today, visitors can access the pedestal observation deck, promenade and museum, but cannot go in the copper structure itself.
Rep. Weiner is hoping to get the statue back to pre-Sept. 11 status. He introduced a bill called Save the Statue of Liberty Act in the House, proposing the National Park Service make the safety upgrades necessary to re-open the crown and its observation deck. Weiners bill unanimously passed the House on June 26.
One of the things that he proposed would be to allow access to the crown to small groups, said Eric Koch, Weiners aide. Koch said his boss has proposed limiting the amount of people that can go up. Were trying to do it the same way you do the Washington Monument.
In a press release dated July 4, Weiner announced Congressional hearings to determine why the statue is still closed after all these years, and what can be done to make it available to visitors.
Darren Boch, a National Park Service spokesperson, said the agency has worked with a number of architectural engineering firms, all of which have confirmed that the area inside the statue, between observation deck and crown, does not meet the minimum health and safety standards, or the building codes of New York City.
At the end of the day, theres just not enough room in that portion of the statue from the deck to the crown, Boch said. Weve had studies tell us it would be extremely difficult and expensive to open the crown without altering the structure itself.
As for Rep. Weiners proposed small-groups plan, Boch said the N.P.S. would need to look into it further.
Wed have to do an assessment to see if that would be allowed under current laws, Boch said. If he wants to allocate funds for an assessment, wed be happy to look at it.
But none of this politicking matters much to the folks who have to wait in line on a steamy summer day.
Dammit, said a frustrated Brouman, still in line, waiting longer than she had expected. How long will this take?
For Brouman and countless others waiting to see Lady Liberty, the long lines to pick up tickets may be a thing of the past.
Circle Line, which ran the Liberty Island ferry service, lost the route to Statue Cruises, a division of Hornblower Cruises and Events, which signed a 10-year contract July 26. Hornblower is a California-based company that offers boat tours in San Francisco, Berkeley, Marina del Rey, San Diego and Newport Beach, including the cruise to Alcatraz Island.
Statue Cruises has some big plans in store for its route, and online ticketing may be the biggest improvement. While Circle Line did allow reservations to be made online, Statue Cruises plans to update the program so that waits are no more than an hour.
Having an online reservations system is one key element for reducing lines, said Tegan Firth, a spokesperson for Hornblower Cruises. One of the features [gives] people the option to print their tickets at home and just arrive. They can bypass the initial ticket pickup line entirely and go straight to the security line.
Hornblower C.E.O. Terry MacRae told the Associated Press on July 26 that the company would be taking over the route from the Circle Line on Oct. 2. But Firth said last week that the firm is still negotiating with Circle Line and does not have an exact turnover date.
The uncertain date for the switch has left some tourists confused. In an online travel forum, Trip Advisor, RosDurhamUK wrote: I am trying to book online for the ferry for October 11th. I have tried to use the link at the side of the forum about New York Attractions. I have tried various other links and I keep getting the Circle Line site and when I put in my date its coming up with invalid tour date. What am I doing wrong?
For travelers that have already booked trips to New York City, Firth recommends checking the companys Web site, www.statuecruises.com, frequently.
The only advice I can really offer is to keep checking both Web sites [Statue Cruises and Circle Line], Firth said. At some point, hopefully soon, the official start date will be resolved. Either we will or Circle Line will release tickets for after Oct. 1.
As part of the new, improved cruises to the island, Statue Cruises also plans to have presentations about immigrant history and podcasts for all visitors, which may leave the statues visitors wondering what happened to just waiting in line.
Well, thats nice, said Alice Cummings, 74, after hearing about the new tech-friendly ride. That means she can do all the work from now on, she said, pointing to her granddaughter Stefanie, who was visiting the statue for the first time.
The security line tents in Battery Park have long been criticized as an eyesore and there have been periodic discussions about moving it to Pier A. The city recently got control back of the pier which may mean a reopening of the talks.
Warrie Price, president of the Battery Conservancy, wont miss the long lines that typically snake around the park. She hopes that Statue Cruises new online reservations and print-at-home feature will help.
We are hopeful that the visitors will be better served with online reservation ticketing, Price said in an e-mail. In the past most of the lines in the park were due to the security system after you have a ticket. But having a timed ticket should help this situation. We [the Battery Conservancy] will continue to give the visitors beautiful gardens to see, and walk through, on their way to the Statue.
But for Rep. Weiner, a new and improved waiting line doesnt matter if Lady Liberty remains shuttered.
Whats the point of this new line if itll go to the same closed Statue? asked a spokesperson for Weiner.
For Safety, Lady Liberty's Crown Will Stay Closed, Park Service Says.
The New York Times
By SEWELL CHAN
Published: September 19, 2007
The National Park Service said yesterday that it had no intention of reopening the Statue of Liberty's crown, which has been closed since the 9/11 attack. Federal officials said that public access to the top of the statue would pose a potentially catastrophic fire hazard.Our primary concerns about public access to the Statue of Liberty's crown are safety and health concerns, not terrorism," Daniel N. Wenk, the deputy director of the park service, said at a Congressional hearing on the subject, the first in the six years the crown has been closed. Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a Democrat who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, helped persuade the House of Representatives to pass a nonbinding and largely symbolic resolution in June directing $1 million toward the reopening of the crown. He also helped arrange for the hearing yesterday, which was led by Representative Raúl M. Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat and chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, part of the House Committee on Natural Resources. Liberty Island was closed to the public after the 9/11 attacks. The statue's base reopened to the public on Aug. 3, 2004, after a $20 million effort to improve fire safety, security and evacuation routes. The park service faced criticism for delays in reopening the base and for relying heavily on a private group, the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, to raise money for the project.Mr. Wenk said the statue's creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, "never intended or designed the Statue of Liberty as something to enter or climb." Only after it opened in 1886 did the War Department — the predecessor to the Defense Department — begin letting "curiosity seekers" inside the sculpture, Mr. Wenk said. The statue's torch was closed in 1916.When the park service began administering the statue in 1933, Mr. Wenk said, there were less than 200,000 visitors. Last year, more than 2.5 million people visited Liberty Island.
The crown of the statue is accessible only by a very narrow, double-helix spiral staircase with a low guardrail. The staircase was intended for periodic use by maintenance workers, Mr. Wenk said, "not for heavy, daily use" by the public. The staircase does not meet any local, state or federal fire and building codes. Even for people in peak physical condition, climbing the 12-story-high staircase is a challenge, he said, adding: "A key danger is that once a visitor begins the climb, turning back before reaching the crown is nearly impossible. Each person is blocked by hundreds of people in front and behind." Mr. Wenk even invoked several catastrophic fires in the past — at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York in 1911, the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston in 1942, and the Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I., in 2003 — to argue that the federal government must put public safety first.
Short of building a 22-story tower with a new staircase next to the statue "and cutting through the Statue of Liberty's copper skin to build a bridge" to the tower, there is no way to provide a safe exit from the statue's interior consistent with fire and building codes, Mr. Wenk said. He called such a tower an "unacceptable option."Advocacy groups that have called for reopening the crown did not appear to be persuaded by Mr. Wenk's arguments. Alexander Brash, the Northeast regional director of the National Parks Conservation Association, said in a statement that "Americans should have the right to visit every nook and cranny of our National Park System." He said the disagreement underscored the need for more parks funding. Mr. Weiner, who climbed the 162 steps to the crown during a private tour last week, said in a statement that the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation had raised more than $500 million from donors, many of whom expected that their money would go toward reopening the crown. The annual number of visitors to the statue has declined by 44 percent since 2000, he said, adding that he believed the fire safety and security concerns could be addressed. "To keep Lady Liberty closed defies the will of the American people," he said at the hearing, adding, "It really does bow to the desires of the terrorists." Mr. Wenk said the park service was focused on improving the educational value of visits to the statue. About 22 percent of visitors to the statue now participate in parks programs that discuss the statue's history, compared with less than 3 percent before 2001, he said. Mr. Wenk did not rule out the possibility that the statue could be declared exempt from fire and building codes and that the crown could be reopened to small groups of visitors on a limited basis, a possibility that several lawmakers have raised.
New Ticket to Lady Liberty
By ANTHONY RAMIREZ
Published: November 8, 2007
The company that will replace the Circle Line, which has provided ferry service to the Statue of Liberty for more than half a century, has begun selling tickets online for trips in January.
In June, the National Park Service, which oversees Liberty Island and other national monuments, selected Hornblower Yachts, a California company that provides ferry service to Alcatraz Island, the former federal prison site in San Francisco Bay.
In 2006, 4.2 million visitors took the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands from Manhattan, a drop of nearly a quarter from the 5.5 million in 2000. The decrease resulted in part from the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, which necessitated increased security.
The price of a ticket timed to a specific day rose recently to $12 from $11.50; it will remain at that level in January. But in a telephone interview this week, Terry MacRae, the chief executive of Hornblower, said that beginning in January, visitors will also be able to buy more flexible tickets on the companys new Web site, www.statuecruises.com.
For example, Mr. MacRae said, visitors to the statue will be able to buy a ticket good for any time over a period of three days.
Circle Line will continue to provide the ferry service until January. Mr. MacRae said the transition to his company was still taking place. The two companies, for example, were still working on the acquisition of Circle Lines fleet of seven boats, a condition of the federal contract. By January, Hornblower may temporarily charter four boats, with a total seating capacity of 3,200 passengers.
Some changes will be immediate, he said. The food on board will be expanded to juices and wrap sandwiches and similar fare from the menu of hot dogs and pretzels. Podcasts about the statue will also be available, with an expanded audio tour provided later in the year.
When Hornblower acquires all of the Circle Line fleet, it may refurbish most or all of the boats, adding large plasma television screens and other audio-visual equipment, as on Hornblowers Alcatraz tours.
Critics, including Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, had objected to what they called Circle Lines inadequate service and said Hornblower represented a fresh start.
Hornblower Yachts (the company which will operate the ferries) has a terrific fleet of ships that they use in SF Bay ...
Yes the SF boats look really nice, but it looks like the Circle Line boats will be purchased by the new carrier.
It isn't; any architect can tell you that. They don't need to waste money doing an assessment. They need to legislate an exception. There are plenty of buildings that don't meet today's building codes, which are constantly being ratcheted upwards.
Since I deal with codes professionally, nonconformity hits me in the face when I see it. I'd estimate that between 80 and 95 percent of Manhattan's buildings don't meet today's code (actually, last year's new sprinkler requirement alone probably bumps the figure even higher).
What's the big deal? The vast majority of new buildings will never be as safe as we can imagine them. Reopen the Statue, post a notice at the entrance stating that the building doesn't meet safety codes, and let people decide for themselves whether to go up. Climbing Mt. Everest isn't safe either, and they issued a climbing permit to a blind man.
Parks Department is a bunch of nattering nannies.

as D D E N DA.. CHAPTER .I. DESERTERS AND DOG ROBBERS. The subject of army desertion is occupying, at the pres- ent time, the attention of the War Department and of the country. It may not come amiss to say something about it in this volume. A dozen different reasons are given for its prevalence. Some suggest that it is ill treatment; others that the cause is laborious or menial employment. There may be something in these theov ies, as far as they apply to individ- ual cases, but it is impossible that there can be enough tyranny in the army to cause over 3,000 men to forsake their colors in a single year. During the active periods of which I write) desertion was comparatively rare. The man wyho deserted at the beginning of an Indian campaign was indel- ibly branded as a coward. I have seen whole companies, difficult to manage in garrison and when near alcoholic supplies, throw up their hats with enthusiasm when the order to march against the hostiles was given. There is hardlv any monotony equal to that of AmeiF- can garrison life on the once "frontier" during these rva~e- ful days. Officers and men assigned to small posts, feel veriy much as if confined on board a ship. All the acerbities ar d smallnesses of human nature naturally come to the surface, and a man, whether officer or private, must be much supe- 395

Cavite shooting rampage leaves 9 dead
-A A +AFriday, January 4, 2013
MANILA (Updated) -- An intoxicated man fatally shot eight people, including a pregnant woman and a seven-year-old girl, before he was shot dead by police Friday, officials said.
At least eight other people were wounded in the shooting rampage in Kawit town, Cavite, said provincial Governor Jonvic Remulla.
He identified the gunman as Ronald Bae, whose age was unclear, though officials said he appeared to be in his 30s or 40s. Bae was killed in a shootout with responding police.
It was not immediately clear why Bae went on the rampage, Remulla said.
The governor said, however, that Bae left his Kawit neighborhood about a year ago after he lost an election for village chairman, and returned Monday due to a "marital problem" with his wife, whom he had left in northern Pampanga province before New Year's.
He said Bae and several friends were on a "drug and alcohol binge" from Monday to Friday, drinking alcohol and taking methamphetamine. Bae left a store where he and his friends were drinking but later returned with his caretaker and began the shooting spree in the surrounding neighborhood, Remulla said.
Remulla said the caretaker of Bae's house in Kawit who was later identified as John Paul Lopez, was seen reloading the gunman's weapon.
According to police investigator Arnulfo Lopez, residents in the area heard Bae threatening to kill the caretaker if he did not reload the gunman's pistol during the shooting.
Police arrested Lopez Friday evening.
Remulla said Bae first killed a man who lived across the street from his house. He also killed the man's dog.
"He just shot at anyone he saw," Remulla said. "You could see that these were really acts of a madman. He even killed the dog."
Bae then shot and killed the seven-year-old girl inside her home and wounded her two younger siblings -- her two-year-old sister and four-year-old brother, who is one of the gunman's godsons.
The two siblings who survived were in critical condition at a hospital. No details were immediately available on the condition of the other victims who were wounded.
The pregnant woman died after being shot in the stomach, Remulla said. Her six-month-old fetus also died.
Television reports said the woman made a frantic call for help to her mother, Baby Alberto, who heard screams and gunshots.
"She said, 'Please, don't! Please don't!'" Alberto quoted her daughter as pleading to the gunman. She said her daughter was found dead in the bathroom hugging her three-year-old daughter, who also died.
Edwin Lacorte, an uncle of the three children who were shot, said he could hear them screaming from his home nearby.
"I could not do anything," he said. "I could hear them screaming and I heard the shots."
Lacorte said that he later saw bullet-riddled cushions that the children had apparently used to protect themselves during the attack.
"It must have been the eldest who covered them with the cushions," he said.
Lacorte said he was at home during the rampage, and that as Bae closed in on his house, he fled with his wife and their four children, two grandchildren and three nieces.
He said had he not been home, "my family would have been wiped out."
Lacorte said he and his family crouched as they ran from the gunman through the muddy former fishpond behind their house.
"He was shooting at us as we were running," he said.
Malacañang condemned the shooting rampage, noting that the carnage will certainly fuel the government's relentless efforts to clamp down on loose firearms.
In a briefing in Malacañang on Friday, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said the Palace is condemning the attack considering that some of the casualties are children and given the large number of deaths.
"As of the moment, what we can say is that this incident will certainly fuel the efforts of the PNP (Philippine National Police) into its drive against loose firearms," she said.
Police estimate there are about half a million firearms that are either unlicensed or have expired licenses around the country.
The Cavite Provincial Government has vowed to shoulder the funeral expenses of the victims, reports said. (AP/PNA/Sunnex)

Squash is not at an Olympic Sport... yet! But if World Squash has anything to do with it, it will be!
The 2020 Olympic Games will be limited to a maximum of 28 sports, therefore only one of the eight shortlisted sports can be added to the Games and luckily, squash is one of these.
World Squash are busy campaigning and have contracted international agecy Vero to manage their bid (Vero were successful in getting the Games for Rio and in getting golf included in the 2016 Games, so have a proven Olympic bid record).
Squash is competing with baseball/softball, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboard, wushu and wrestling for a place in the 2020 Olympics. While the final decision will be made in September 2013, the next important date in May 29, when each sport has the chance to make a 30 minute presentation to the IOC executive committee. Later that day, the IOC will announce a shortlist of sports that will remain 'in the hunt' until the September decision.
Visit the website at www.squash2020.com to see how you can BACK THE BID!
Also, check out this great blog which highlights why squash should be in the Olympics.
Show your Support through Social Media. World Squash have set up a media campaign to show the IOC that everyone loves squash and wants squash to be in the Olympics. To show your support and increase awareness you can do either of the following:
The media exposure of the Olympics is unprecedented with any other event so squash will benefit in being exposed to millions of viewers worldwide. The local media coverage during the Olympics will also have a huge impact on promoting the sport within New Zealand.
Importantly, Squash in NZ will benefit financially in more than one way. Every participating sport receives income from TV rights and some of this will filter through to Squash NZ. Being an Olympic sport also increases opportunites for funding within NZ, such as that available from High Performance Sport NZ.
World Squash bid for inclusion into the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games but were unsuccessful in both. However, both attempts have provided great experience with lots of feedback and World Squash have taken on board much of that feedback and made vast improvements in the game.
For more information about previous Olympic bids for squash inclusion, see the World Squash website www.worldsquash.org

Tyras Camp is an encampment located in the secluded, south-western part of Isafdar, the elven forest, part of the Tirannwn kingdom. Significant progress in the Regicide quest is required to gain access to Isafdar and the Camp. It is sometimes used as a point of entry to the elven lands, via the charter ships. The camp is well-known for the shop selling every type of halberd (with the exception of the white halberd, which can only be bought in the White Knights' Castle) in a store there, including the dragon halberd. However, the prices here are often higher than they are on the Grand Exchange.
It is also possible to reach Tyras Camp from Lletya, the Underground Pass or the Arandar Palisade, but it would require walking through the dangerous forests of Isafdar. Note that the player cannot charter a ship to Tyras Camp until they have reached this area during Regicide.

Contents |
Below is a list of NPCs of the camp.
- Tyras guard - These are the soldiers of King Tyras' Forces. Some are attackable, but be prepared, as they can hit up to 150 and use halberds, meaning they have extended attack range.
- Quartermaster - He runs the general store of the camp. Halberds and basic items can be bought from him.
- King Tyras - He is the king of West Ardougne, and a part of Isafdar, and stays in his tent in the middle of the camp. It is impossible to enter said tent and, thus, to see him. The player kills him at the end of Regicide, although it is a possibility he didn't die.
- General Hining - King Tyras' immediate subordinate, General Hining takes command of the stranded troop of soldiers after Tyras' death during Regicide, and the tent in the middle of the camp becomes his. He is also the leader of the entire camp after the quest for now.
General storeEdit
There is one general store located in Tyras Camp, which contains only halberds. Players can also trade halberds here. Prices are listed below:
Item | Number in Stock | Price sold at | Price bought at | GE Price | GE Resell Value | |
Bronze halberd | 10 | 104 | 104 | 858 | 7,540 | |
Iron halberd | 10 | 364 | 364 | 353 | -110 | |
Steel halberd | 10 | 1,300 | 1,300 | 1,832 | 5,320 | |
Black halberd | 10 | 2,496 | 2,496 | 5,230 | 27,340 | |
Mithril halberd | 10 | 3,380 | 3,380 | 5,712 | 23,320 | |
Adamant halberd | 10 | 8,320 | 8,320 | 4,755 | -35,650 | |
Rune halberd | 10 | 128,000 | 128,000 | 75,757 | -522,430 | |
Dragon halberd | 10 | 325,000 | 325,000 | 197,498 | -1,275,020 |
Note: If the player has reached the Tyras Camp in the Regicide quest, it is possible to purchase all the halberds out of the store, with the exception of the dragon halberd which is always at 0 stock until you have completed the quest.
Note: A white halberd can only be bought in Falador.
There are no banks in/or around Tyras Camp. The closest bank is in Lletya. Several banks can be accessed via the charter ships.
There are a few yew trees located east of Tyras Camp.
These quests are involved in the camp:
- Tyras Camp has as a port called Port Tyras, in which you can charter ships.
- The Camp has a furnace, more than likely to prevent side-trips for making quicklime during Regicide
- Even after Regicide, the tent in which King Tyras stayed remains intact, possibly because a new tent was erected in the place where King Tyras's tent was destroyed. It's also possible that he didn't die and he escaped before it started to burn, somehow survived via a ring of life, hid in something (possibly the barrel of swords) and escaped within the woods, or sailed off from Port Tyras.
- Though it is implied that General Hining and his guards are stranded in Tirannwn, they could easily charter a ship to another land at any time. This was likely an oversight by Jagex, because when the camp and Regicide were first added to the game, there were no charter ships.

Report: Countrywide won influence with discounts
AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File
(AP) WASHINGTON - The former Countrywide Financial Corp., whose subprime loans helped start the nation's foreclosure crisis, made hundreds of discount loans to buy influence with members of Congress, congressional staff, top government officials and executives of troubled mortgage giant Fannie Mae, according to a House report.
The report, obtained by The Associated Press, said the discounts - from January 1996 to June 2008 - were not only aimed at gaining influence for the company but to help mortgage giant Fannie Mae. Countrywide's business depended largely on Fannie, which at the time was trying to fend off more government regulation but eventually had to come under government control.
Fannie Mae was responsible for purchasing a large volume of Countrywide's subprime mortgages. Countrywide was taken over by Bank of America in January 2008, relieving the financial services industry and regulators from the messy task of cleaning up the bankruptcy of a company that was servicing 9 million U.S. home loans worth $1.5 trillion at a time when the nation faced a widening credit crisis, massive foreclosures and an economic downturn.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee also named six current and former members of Congress who received discount loans, but all of their names had surfaced previously. Other previously mentioned names included former top executive branch officials and three chief executives of Fannie Mae.
"Documents and testimony obtained by the committee show the VIP loan program was a tool used by Countrywide to build goodwill with lawmakers and other individuals positioned to benefit the company," the report said. "In the years that led up to the 2007 housing market decline, Countrywide VIPs were positioned to affect dozens of pieces of legislation that would have reformed Fannie" and its rival Freddie Mac, the committee said.

Countrywide CEO settles with SEC for $67.5M
Some of the discounts were ordered personally by former Countrywide chief executive Angelo Mozilo. Those recipients were known as "Friends of Angelo."
The Justice Department has not prosecuted any Countrywide official, but the House committee's report said documents and testimony show that Mozilo and company lobbyists "may have skirted the federal bribery statute by keeping conversations about discounts and other forms of preferential treatment internal. Rather than making quid pro quo arrangements with lawmakers and staff, Countrywide used the VIP loan program to cast a wide net of influence."
The Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2010 slapped Mozilo with a $22.5 million penalty to settle charges that he and two other former Countrywide executives misled investors as the subprime mortgage crisis began. Mozilo also was banned from ever again serving as an officer or director of a publicly traded company.
He also agreed to pay another $45 million to settle other violations for a total settlement of $67.5 million that was to be returned to investors who were harmed.
The report said that until the housing market became swamped with foreclosures, "Countrywide's effort to build goodwill on Capitol Hill worked."
The company became a trusted adviser in Congress and was consulted when the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee considered reform of Fannie and Freddie and unfair lending practices.
"If Countrywide's lobbyists, and Mozilo himself, were more strictly prohibited from arranging preferential treatment for members of Congress and congressional staff, it is possible that efforts to reform (Fannie and Freddie) would have been met with less resistance," the report said.
The report said Fannie Mae assigned as many as 70 lobbyists to the Financial Services Committee while it considered legislation to overhaul the company from 2000 to 2005. Four reform bills were introduced in the House during the period, and none made it out of the committee.
Hit with staggering losses, Fannie and Freddie came under government control in September 2008. As of Dec. 31, 2011, the Treasury Department had committed more than $183 billion to support the two companies - and there's no end in sight.
Among those who received loan discounts from Countrywide, the report said, were:
- Former Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.
- Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D.
- Mary Jane Collipriest, who was communications director for former Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, then a member of the Banking Committee. The report said Dodd referred Collipriest to Countrywide's VIP unit. Dodd, when commenting on his own loans, said that he was unaware of receiving preferential treatment but knew his loans were handled by the VIP unit.
- The Senate's ethics committee investigated Dodd and Conrad but did not charge them with any ethical wrongdoing.
- Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
- Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., former chairman of the Oversight Committee. Towns issued the first subpoena to Bank of America for Countrywide documents, and current Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., subpoenaed more documents. The committee said that in responding to the Towns subpoena, Bank of America left out documents related to Towns' loan.
- Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-Calif.
- Top staff members of the House Financial Services Committee.
- A staff member of Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, D-Texas, a member of the Financial Services Committee.
- Former Rep. Tom Campbell, R-Calif.
- Former Housing and Urban Development Secretaries Alphonso Jackson and Henry Cisneros; and former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala.
- Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, was an exception. He told the VIP unit not to give him a discount, and he did not receive one.
- Former heads of Fannie Mae James Johnson, Daniel Mudd and Franklin Raines. Countrywide took a loss on Mudd's loan. Fannie employees were the most frequent recipients of VIP loans. Johnson received a discount after Mozilo waived problems with his credit rating.
The report said Mozilo "ordered the loan approved, and gave Johnson a break. He instructed the VIP unit: 'Charge him 1/2 under prime. Don't worry about (the credit score). He is constantly on the road and therefore pays his bills on an irregular basis but he ultimately pays them.'"
Johnson in 2008 resigned as a leader of then-candidate Barack Obama's vice presidential search committee after The Wall Street Journal reported he had received $7 million in Countrywide discounted loans.
The report said those who received the discounts knew the loans were handled by a special VIP unit.
"The documents produced by the bank show that VIP borrowers received paperwork from Countrywide that clearly identified the VIP unit as the point of contact," the committee said.
The standard discount was 0.5 waived points. Countrywide also waived junk fees that usually ranged from $350 to $400.
CORRECTION: In a July 4 story and in initial versions of a July 5 story about lawmakers and other officials getting discount loans from the former Countrywide Financial Corp., The Associated Press reported erroneously that former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros was on Fannie Mae's board of directors when his loan was processed. Cisneros was on Countrywide's board of directors, not Fannie Mae's.

- What always astonishes me is how cheaply politicians can be bought. Half a point on a million dollar mortgage is $5,000, which is nothing. Yet it fed into a process that collapsed the economy.
Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin could never have dreamed up a more harmful and less costly scheme. Even spies like Aldrich Ames and John Walker did less damage to America, and they are some of the most damaging spies of all time. - reply

- This is thoughtless, not in even remotely close to the proximity of right: "I don't know why it would amaze anyone."
It's terribly obvious why it's amazing: Congresspeople allegedly accepted bribes in the form of loan discounts worth mostly around $5,000 to look the other way from what lead to Countrywide's multi-billion dollar collapse. As I'm sure greennnnnn-2009 would agree, taxpayers have recently paid more than $5,000 in bailout funds.
Before the next time you write something, green, you should think.

- That executives from both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac benefited from this, as well as key Dems on the housing committee and some Repubs is reprehensible. Dodd was in charge, but he and others, mostly Dems, did nothing about housing reform legislation that was brought before them on a number of occasions. All of these individuals contributed to the housing crisis, which started the avalanche of economic failures. They, and they alone could have prevented it, but instead chose to turn a blind eye in favor of saving themselves mortgage costs.

- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- It is called "influence buying" and if you think it is only the demos who are guilty better thing again.
Now we have the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) peddling their form of influence to repubs in congress.
Only when we can get rid of the special interest and corporate lobbyists in DC and who say they know what is best for the American people can we ever again have a government "of the people, by the people and for the people."
Countrywide, Alec, both cuts from the same cloth, both more about corporate greed than Americans.

The start of set II marked the second known performance of Killer Joe, which ensued due to technical difficulties (namely no guitar). Killer Joe was essentially a jam over which Fish repeated the words "Killer Joe". You Enjoy Myself featured a Frankenstein jam and Good Times Bad Times included teases of Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin cover).

QLD My bloody back yard again! 14/4/12 |
nezevic wrote:Ryan, it would be easier to launch from the little boat ramp at the back of breakfast creek wharf in the creek itself. Most of the fish in that area come from blokes fishing live baits or dead prawns from the pontoon at the mouth of the creek on dusk or after dark. Expect to spend long hours for no fish though. I have caught a couple from the bank there and they go like smoke! If you are going to bait fish for them, use a 30-40lb leader at least as they have quite sharp teeth which will wear through the leader in a prolonged fight. I have lost several this way and it's really frustrating. The tide really hoots through there and be wary of the city cats which work past there. If you are going to be on the water after dark in a yak around that area be vary careful and make sure you are well lit. Another very productive spot for them and also popular is around the big pipeline at the port.

As a prospective patient at the Barrow Cleft and Craniofacial Center, you will meet with the craniofacial team. During this consultation, team members perform an examination, order the appropriate diagnostic tests, diagnose your condition, and prepare your treatment plan. Cleft and craniofacial disorders are diagnosed by evaluating your anatomical structures, medical history, development, radiographic studies, and results from genetic testing.
Accurate and timely diagnosis can have extremely significant implications for your health and long-term quality of life. You should schedule a focused craniofacial visit if you have one of the following symptoms:
Diagnostic Tests
Radiology studies are typically ordered by the surgical team for diagnostic purposes and to plan your surgery. Some examples of these tests include:
Blood tests are often ordered to determine if a genetic disorder exists. Based on your family and medical history and your presenting signs and symptoms, a geneticist will recommend the best type of chromosomal analysis or genetic test for the you. The genetic test verifies whether your craniofacial disorder is associated with a genetic defect. Other blood tests may be ordered to rule out other possible causes for your cleft or craniofacial disorder.
Referrals and Consultations
The Barrow Cleft and Craniofacial Team may refer you to other specialists, such as cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists, or pulmonologists, as needed.

text: Do I need to bring anything to my session? For any simply by suzy session, all you need is you. Be prepared to laugh, play with, smile, kiss and hug each other at your Simply by Suzy session. Vasili and I have had our own pictures taken before, so we totally understand some times it feels a little silly or even embarassing to be in front of the camera. But no worries, you're in good hands. All we ask is that you trust us and let down those walls so your beautiful, playful, loving self can really shine through for us to capture. Do you have a studio? No. Part of the unique experience we offer to our clients includes us coming to you. We will hold your session in either your home, an external location or a combination of both (weather permitting). If I'm having a newborn session, when is the right age to have my baby photographed? The best time to have your newborn photographed is between 7 days and 6 weeks. When having your pre-session consultation, we'll ask you some questions about what you hope for us to capture and based on that vision we will make a recommendtion for exactly when in that time frame we should hold your own little one's session. Do you photograph anything else besides mamas and babies? Of course! In addition to maternity and baby sessions, we photograph children, families, births, and love of all kinds. We also take on a select few weddings each year in order to give the level of creativity and attention that we believe each deserves, and are available at any time for travel at both national and international locations. Am I able to purchase a DVD of digital files to make prints on my own? Yes. And while we primiarily shoot with film (yep, the old school kind. We're talking 35 mm, manually winding the camera, the whole 9 yards), we have all our images developed and scanned by a professional lab into digital files that may be printed from just like you would with any image file from your digital camera. |

So, Mr. Obama forgot to mention Easter again. He did not forget kwanzaa (whatever that is) or Ramadan. This, of course fits the pattern of behavior that Mr. Bethune wrote about last week. At every opportunity, Mr. Obama makes clear his disdain for white or Christian America and shows respectful support for black or muslim America. He is seen to genuflect for Islam, but to show disrespect for the Queen of England (who did not get an invite to the wedding?). Even his very tardy birth certificate production was an expression of his contempt for those who do not support him and was produced under pressure from Mr. Trump.
With every gesture and every political move, Mr. Obama exudes a virulent hatred for what defines America and his determination to change that definition. He has already started to campaign for reelection and may spend a billion dollars on the effort. He has never actually changed from campaign mode to governing mode and is a perpetual campaigner. His only skill is campaigning -- and that skill is wholly dependent on his tele-prompter.
The democrats have given us a shameful excuse of a president and may succeed in repeating that crime against America. To be re-elected, he will have the support of:
1. Yellow-dog democrats (who unthinkingly but proudly proclaim themselves willing to vote the ticket even if the candidate is a yellow dog).
2. Those who share his vision of a diminished America -- weak spiritually, militarily, financially and morally.
3. The naïve voters who believe his vapid, empty promises in spite of clear, contrary evidence.
4. Those who selfishly expect to gain at the expense of others (this would include illegal aliens who somehow get registered to vote - remember ACORN?)
5. Those who don't bother to educate themselves about a candidate's character and track record.
6. And then there are those who simply feel embarrassed to be so wealthy and successful in a world where poverty and failure are the norm. These are usually called "liberals" and they just love socialism because it distributes poverty (never does it distribute wealth).
The great strength of a democracy is also its great weakness -- we can vote ourselves out of existence.

Hustus Studstill
I see that you are the granddaughter of William Hustis Studstill. I am a descendant of Hustus Studstill, the Revolutionary soldier. I am trying to add Hustus Studstill as a DAR supplemental ancestor, but I am have been unable to prove that Elizabeth who married Frederick Lanier is his daughter. The DAR requires legal proof which means named in a will, received property from he distribution of the estate, listed in a family Bible as the daughter, and there may be other ways. I have been unable to find any of this proof. I have Hustus Studstill's will but he makes no mention of any of his children. I wonder if you might suggest a way to find this proof or if you may have the proof. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
