City panel OKs $1 million in school building design workTED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 04. 2014 9:52PM
MANCHESTER — An aldermen's committee has backed the school district's request to spend approximately $1 million for design work on building projects that will cost an estimated $15 million to complete.
The Committee on Community Improvement on Monday voted to endorse the district's plan to spend the roughly $1 million. The funds would cover the architectural services to convert the Manchester School of Technology to a four-year high school, in line with state standards, and to enclose "open concept" classrooms at Beech Street and Webster elementary schools.
The work at MST will cost an estimated $8.7 million; the work at Beech, which will include building classrooms in the basement in order to eliminate portables, is slated to cost $5.1 million. The work at Webster would cost about $750,000.
All of the funds to design and build the projects are expected to come from bonds paid for out of the district's budget.
City Finance Director Bill Sanders told the committee the district should be able to cover the debt service on the bonding, which would first have to be approved by the aldermen.
"With a little work, we should be able to feather in (the cost of the new building projects) under existing debt service currently incurred in the district," he said.
Both the overhaul of MST and filling in the open classrooms have long been unfunded priorities for members of the school board. The partial walls at Beech and Webster result in a difficult learning environment, critics have said. The work at MST is to include more classroom space, a gym and a library — features that are required by the state for four-year high schools.
"We're having to continue our requests for waivers from state standards," MST Principal Karen White told the committee. "We're adding students every year. Next year we'll be up to 250 students.
Right now we're at the limit of students that can fit in the building."
Facilities Manager Kevin O'Maley told the committee that the district wanted authorization "as soon as possible" to move forward with retaining an architect in order to be ready to have construction get underway by next summer.
Ward 7 Alderman Bill Shea inquired whether the district would put out a request for proposals for the architectural services, O'Maley said the district intended to. The $1 million figure is a rough estimate, he said, and would ultimately be determined by the bids received.
Alderman-At-Large Dan O'Neil questioned whether the district would come back to the board with additional funding requests related to MST.
Assistant Superintendent David Ryan replied, "We don't anticipate coming back ... and asking for additional money to expand the facility."
The committee voted to recommend authorizing the district to move forward with an RFP for design services, which the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen is expected to vote on this evening.
New bonds would not be authorized until the bid process is complete.

You can place Axis modular cameras practically anywhere and they virtually disappear. You can fit them in tight spaces, build them into ATMs, and use them even in buses and police cars. They're ideal for highly discreet video and audio surveillance and analytics applications. They're also cost-effective when you require multiple cameras in a small area.
The modular cameras involve a sensor unit that connects via a cable to a main unit, which is the body of a camera. You can place the sensor unit (consisting of a lens and an image sensor) where needed and the main unit where there is space. You can connect up to four sensor units to a four-channel main unit for cost-effective surveillance of several closely situated areas.
You can buy the sensor and main units separately in order to get the hardware combination that best suits your needs. Or you can purchase complete, pre-packaged modular cameras.

Brian Vickers is at a career crossroads. It's more of a dangerous detour, complicated by health concerns.
Vickers is going to miss at least the next three months of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season while dealing with another setback related to blood clots in his lungs. In a matter of weeks, he's gone from feeling "awesome" to be back racing to facing the distinct possibility that his racing days are finished.
His treatment involves blood thinners, which will preclude him from driving for medical reasons.
"I'll try to figure out what makes sense with my doctors," Vickers said this past weekend in Fontana, Calif., site of the Auto Club 400,...

With the wind howling, deer acting wary and just out of range, and only two days left before his hunt ended, Eric Hale had to make something happen.
He'd done everything right so far with stand placement and waiting for a good shot. A solid 10-point buck had been tantalizingly close, too, but Hale didn't take a chance with his bow.
But things finally hit a point and, well, Hale had to grind it out. Like a football team drawing plays in the dirt, he made a critical decision and then let his NAP Broadhead fly.
Did he score? Find out in this awesome video of his free-range Iowa hunt:

Sandow slips Eels into form
The Parramatta Eels despite a poor completion rate have manage to string points together to down the New Zealand Warriors 40-10 at Parramatta Stadium in front of 13,351 fans.
The 2012 wooden spooners found some form in their season opener thanks to Chris Sandow and their outside backs. Jarryd Hayne was on display as he running saw the Eels' attack fire up.
The Warriors were denied early in the match by the video referee was Todd Lowe drove Thomas Leuluai over the goal line. As a result the Eels awarded a penalty and the red light shown.
Young five-eighth Luke Kelly laid platform for Chris Sandow from acting half to score first points. Sandow danced through the Warriors defence to dive over the whitewash. Chris Sandow easily converted, Eels ahead 6-0 after 17 minutes.
Jarryd Hayne was in full flight as Reni Maitua flew off the tarmac with a powerful line break. Maitua found support in Luke Kelly who then provided a short pass to Hayne to streak away. The Eels on a roll as the lead 12-0 after 27 minutes.
Just before half time, the Eels again opened the Warriors defensive line with a simple running play. Ryan Morgan threw a beautiful inside ball to Matt Ryan who strolled away under the uprights to score.
At half time the Eels returned to form to lead 18-0 over the Warriors.
The Warriors lacked punch in their attacking plays in the first half, however that quickly changed with Pita Godinet injected into the match. Godinet laid the foundation out acting half for Jacob Lillyman to crash over for their first points of the encounter. Shaun Johnson from out wide pushed the kick across the face of goal.
A talking point for the water-cooler, as Chris Sandow was denied his second try by the video referee as an obstruction ruled against Fuifui Moimoi. The on field referee originally saying no try and the video referee did not have enough evidence to over turn the decision.
The Warriors were in all sorts as they were unable to contain the Eels attack, however they returned fire with their second try in the 58th minute. Dane Nielsen was a standout perform in a lackluster Warriors side as he bust out of two tackles to run off a great ball from Kevin Locke to score in the corner.
However, the attack from the Warriors was short lived with the Eels returning serve. The Eels spread the ball across the field to the left corner as Ken Sio dived over and planted it down one-handed. Chris Sandow from the touchline rocketed the conversion between the posts to extend the lead to 22-10 with 18 minutes on the clock.
Chris Sandow was openly criticised at the end of 2012, however, tonight he returned to form as again he was in the action to set up Jarryd Hayne for two tries in four minutes. The first saw Sandow's speed displayed as the Warriors defence cracked with Sandow charging through to provide Hayne a short pass to race away.
The second, only four minutes later saw Sandow again break the line to step inside around the fullback to link up with Hayne again who touch down for his hat trick.
The Eels capped off a great night of try scoring with the final points coming from Ken Sio as he darted over the goal line thanks to a beautiful grubber off the boot of Ben Roberts. The Eels outfit gelling together as new coach Ricky Stuart guided them to victory in their season opener.
The Warriors will hope to bounce back from their loss as they face Sydney Roosters, while the Eels will look to repeat the form when they do battle with the Bulldogs.

The filling valves (patented) cut off both the wine and the gas return, excluding any contact between the inside of the tank and the environment. The filling level changes between 20 and 90mm from the top of the mouth. The pedestals of the bottles (mechanical at spring) are not on the same axle. This implies that they are completely protected from the washing water or from eventual glass slivers. Centralised oil mist lubrication for the pedestals.The feeding of the wine centrally from below allows the tank to be emptied naturally and completely. The washing and sterilization of the tank implies the outflow from above. The filling valves washing and sterilization are simplified by an automatic sterilization cycle. It involves the lift of the filler tank, the contemporary filler valve adjustment at the higher level, the release of the dummy bottle in axle with the filler valve. The filler tank goes down until the filler valve is completely dip in the dummy bottle that will open the valve itself. In this position, sterilization with liquid or steam can start. Eventually, the dummy bottles move backward and the filler returns to the height and filling level previously adjusted. The washing liquid is canalized through a return pipe.

My Highlights from Art Basel in Hong Kong 2014
Yana Peel
Working in the traditional genre of history painting, Dexter Dalwood merges art history and the pop-cultural in imagined scenes such as that in Jackie Onassis' yacht in Jackie Onassis (2000) or Mao Tse-Tung's workspace in Mao Tse-Tung's Study (2000). Dalwood paints from collages he first creates out of printed matter, often appropriating elements from artists like Henri Matisse, Ed Ruscha, and David Hockney. In Gorky's Studio (2009)—from his "Endless Night" series, which depicted death scenarios of famous figures—the scene of the artist's suicide is obscured by a dense black field, recalling the work of Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still.

BURLINGTON, N.C. – After dropping their first game of the Conference Carolinas Baseball Tournament on Sunday, the second game between King University and Coker College was postponed until Monday afternoon. The Tornado dug out of a 3-0 deficit, but the Cobras bounced right back to take the game 6-3.
Coker (34-14) started the second game right where they left off in game one on Sunday. Leadoff hitter Justin Blechle started the game with a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout. He then scored on a Zach Loraine infield single to give the Cobras the early 1-0 advantage.
The score remained the same after two innings when the rain came, and the game was postponed until Monday when the Cobras didn't skip a beat. In the third inning, Dan Meyer struck out the side before Coker scored in the bottom half. Shea Bell was hit by a pitch to start the inning, and Keith Wolf singled through the right side to put two runners on. After a double steal, Brinley Griffin drove in Bell with a groundout, extending the lead to 2-0.
The Cobras tacked on another run in the fourth as Frank Suarez fouled off five straight 0-2 pitches and finally got one he liked. He laced a two-out single to right field that scored T.J. Gickowski to push the Coker lead to 3-0.
In the fifth, the King offense woke up as Hunter Smith registered a single, and Jose Sola followed with a double. However, the Tornado (31-20) couldn't push and runs across. King finally broke into the scoring column in the sixth as Stephen Mullins sparked a rally with a single through the left side. Carl Roberts followed with an infield single to put two runners on with one out. An out brought Hunter Smith to plate, and crushed and opposite field home run down the right field line to even the score at 3-3.
Nevertheless, Coker had an answer in the bottom half of the inning. With the bases loaded, Brinley Griffin rolled a full count pitch up the middle to score two and give the lead back to the Cobras. Coker plated one more in the inning to take a 6-3 lead into the seventh.
King had one runner reach base in each of the final three innings, but the Tornado couldn't push any runs across as Coker closed out the 6-3 win. The win gives Coker their first Conference Carolinas Tournament championship since 1996.
Alex Gonzalez, Josh Huffman and Tyler Gaby were named to the All-Tournament team.
Smith led the Tornado offense, going 2-for-3 with three runs batted in. King ends the season with a 31-20 record.

- Are the Cameron Crazies losing their edge? UNC's Bobby Frasor seems to think so.
- So in order to combat Bobby Frasor's accusations, Coach K went and did this to assure bedlam at Cameron Indoor against Florida State.
- Interesting story about Oakland sophomore Keith Benson.
- So let me get this straight…all I have to do is dunk a basketball and I could be in a Powerade commercial? Maybe its a good thing Jeff Teague isn't in high school anymore.
- Jeff Goodman is reporting that Georgia is determined to build a basketball power, and they are prepared to throw lots of money at Oklahoma's Jeff Capel to make it happen.
- John Gasaway is glad its March, and he is celebrating by checking in on all the conferences.
- Bizarro Joe Lunardi decides what to do with a few teams hoping to stay on the bubble.
- Lester Hudson is pretty much determined to get UT Martin into the Dance all by himself.
- Interesting story from Andy Katz about how St. Mary's can do more than most to improve their stock.
- Forde Minutes predicts each and every conference tournament and who will be dancing in two weeks.
- Jeff Goodman puts out so many Bubble Watches I can barely keep up.
- Scout does an interesting piece revisiting their 2003 recruiting class that included LeBron James. They even give themselves a pat on the back for calling that James would be a superstar. Way to go out on a limb there. . .
- The LA Times has some interesting March tidbits…and they don't think too highly of Memphis or the conference they play in.
- Kudos to Kyle Taber…you deserve a medal for what you have survived.
- Even when it looks like Arizona will escape from the basketball purgatory, problems arise.

ASUS Unveils Gaming-Related Products at CES 2011
Posted: 09:14PM
Author: Nemo
ASUS has been supporting gamers for years now as evidenced by its Republic of Gamers (ROG) line of products. For CES 2011 currently under way in Las Vegas, ASUS' stable of gaming products include motherboards, graphics cards, audio gear, networking devices and gaming desktops.
First up is the ASUS ROG Rampage III Black Edition motherboard. Designed with the benefit of input from the gaming community, the Rampage III features the ROG Thunderbolt, a dedicated card combining a XONAR audio solution with a Killer E2100 Network Processing Unit from Bigfoot Networks.
ASUS is also showcasing its HD 6870 DirectCU video card, a DirectX 11-optimized that goes beyond the standard AMD reference design through the use of Super Alloy Power technology, which uses a special alloy formula in critical power delivery components such as chokes, capacitors and MOSFETs. The card promises up to a 15% performance boost and 2.4 times longer lifespan than reference solutions although your mileage may vary. The DirectCU portion of the name means the card is equipped with all-copper pipes in direct contact with the GPU with up to a 20% improvement in cooling performance versus standard reference-design cards.
Also at the show is the ROG Vulcan ANC Gaming Headset, billed as the world's first gaming headset with Active Noise Cancellation technology. The Vulcan's 85% active noise canceling performance and 30dB passive noise isolation effect allow gamers to enjoy superior audio during those intense gaming sessions. The Vulcan ANC is equipped with large 40mm speaker drivers with enhanced bass EQ that delivers powerful, high-resolution sound with deep impact bass and it also comes with a noise-canceling and omni-directional microphone.
The next portion of the gaming catalog is the RT-N66U Dual-band Gaming Router that works in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with up to 450Mbps per band simultaneously. For those heavy multitasking chores, the RT-N66U supports up to a massive 300,000 concurrent data sessions — approximately 20 times the capacity of mainstream routers - allowing users to download content while gaming online.
Finally, we have the CG8350 Gaming Desktop which ships with the Intel's second generation 'Sandy Bridge' Core i7-2600 processor and uses Turbo Boost 2.0 technology for instant CPU overclocking. On the graphics side, the CG8350 comes with the DirectX 11-compatible ASUS GTX 460 video card. The motherboard in the CG8350 uses 100% solid state capacitors for increased stability, longevity and reliability. In a nod to green-conscious gamers, it comes loaded with ASUS' exclusive Energy Processing Unit (EPU), a programmable microchip that regulates system-wide energy consumption to save power.

The Constitution states that the president and vice president can be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors."
If we do not impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, we establish that it is permissible for future presidents and vice presidents to deceive Congress and the public into futile wars, engage in widespread illegal spying on Americans, detain prisoners without charge, engage in torture, operate in secrecy and re fuse to execute laws passed by Congress. In writing the Constitution, our Founding Fathers chose impeachment as the primary check on federal officials who act as despots while in office. They had just removed a king and had no interest in replacing him with an elected one.
This was the message we, a group of constituents and leaders of the Central and South Jersey Impeach Groups, brought Rep. Rush Holt, D-Hopewell Township, on July 9. We delivered an impeachment resolution passed by the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), hundreds of signed petitions, and our passionate belief that our Constitution and democracy are in grave danger. The actions of Mssrs. Bush and Cheney continue to parallel the offenses that caused the House to impeach Richard Nixon 33 years ago.
We asked Holt to co-sponsor HR Res. 333, the resolution to impeach Cheney introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, on April 24, which now has 15 co-sponsors.
Have there been "high crimes and misdemeanors"? The Supreme Court found that the treatment of Guantánamo prisoners violated the Constitution and an appellate judge ruled that Bush's secret wiretapping and electronic surveillance were a felony. Most of the administration's offenses need no further investigation. Bush and Cheney are both on videotape admitting them. Others, such as the mishandling of the devastation of Hurricane Ka trina and the scandal at Abu Ghraib prison are visible to all. New offenses emerge daily, such as the refusal to honor Congressional subpoenas.
Until recently, many Democrats have hesitated to call for impeachment following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's declaration that impeachment is "off the table." Now public opinion is shifting. Journalist Bill Moyers presented bipartisan experts who echoed our arguments warning of the expanded tool kit that could be used by any future president if action is not taken now on the abuses perpetrated by this administration.
Holt, who is a prime leader on voting reform and who opposed the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq, agreed that the administration committed illegal and criminal acts, but he did not think the American people understood impeachment.
The American people do understand. Forty-three towns and counties across the country have passed resolutions for impeachment, as well as 15 state Democratic parties and the Green Party, three unions, and many other local groups like the PCDO.
A poll by the American Research Group this month showed that 54 percent of Americans are in favor of bringing impeachment proceedings against Cheney in the House of Representatives and 46 percent support the impeachment of President Bush. A Newsweek poll in October 2006 found that 52 percent of the respondents, a clear majority, thought impeachment should be a high priority.
The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to impeach, i.e. to bring charges. This would be enough to start a thorough public investiga tion and set a precedent that Bush and Cheney's actions violate our Constitution and must be stopped. When Nixon was impeached by the House for similar offenses, he chose to resign. Impeachment is its own punishment. It requires only a simple majority of the House. There is no obligation for the Senate to even hold a trial after someone is impeached.
Bush's recent commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence was aimed at obstructing justice by removing any incentive for Libby to reveal the truth. In this respect, it was similar to Nixon's fir ing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
Bush and Cheney can still do a great deal of damage before they leave office. For what goal are more Americans and Iraqis dying every day in Iraq? We need to remove the president and vice president from office to end our brutal occupation in that country, prevent a planned attack on Iran, end the assault on our civil liberties, restore competence in political appointments and prevent widespread election fraud as oc curred in 2000 and 2004.
# If we do not impeach now, we are all complicit in this administration's crimes.
# If we do not impeach now, we effectively remove impeachment from the Constitution.
# If we do not act now, we are accepting Bush and Cheney's "unitary executive" theory.
# If we do not impeach now, we destroy the balance of powers designed to preserve our freedom and democracy.
If not now, when? What further offenses must occur before our legislators act to uphold the Constitution in accord with their oath of office? The momentum is building. MoveOn, the massive 3.2 million member political action group, now supports impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Keith Olbermann of MSNBC's Countdown demanded their resignation with a powerful list of accusations. Even Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., introduced a bill declaring signing statements an "unconstitutional attempt to usurp legislative authority."
We hope and expect that Holt will respond to the growing impeachment movement in his district and across the nation, and become a co-sponsor of the impeachment resolution to protect the Constitution and restore the rule of law. We urge constituents to call Rep. Rush Holt at (202) 225-5801, or their own lawmakers in Congress at (202) 224-3121 and request that they co-sponsor HR 333 to restore the rule of law. Urge Speaker Pelosi at (202) 225-4965 to allow impeachment proceedings to begin.
Mary Ellen Marino is co-chair of the Central Jersey Impeach Group, a member of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization.

The terrible discovery that Marie Joseph, a 36-year-old mother of five, had drowned in a public swimming pool in Fall River, Mass., turned all the more macabre with the subsequent revelation that her body—spotted by chance this past Tuesday evening—had rested in the murk at the bottom of the pool for two days, unnoticed by dozens of swimmers or six lifeguards. The scandalous details of the case, from the unacceptable cloudiness of the water to reports that lifeguards ignored warnings from a 9-year-old boy that the woman was in trouble, are of course now driving an all-too-late crackdown. It's hard to imagine that details emerging from the ongoing investigation will lift any culpability for the tragedy from those responsible for the pool's safety.
Nevertheless, the sensational, blameworthy details of this case (no doubt soon to become the basis of an episode of Bones, if the show hasn't already done something similar) should not distract from the more important truth that avoidable drowning deaths happen far too often in all sorts of situations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on average about 10 people a day die in the U.S. from accidental drownings, and that figure does not include an additional 500 or so drowning deaths from boat-related incidents. About 20 percent of those who drown are under the age of 15, and for every one of those who die, four others receive emergency treatment for drowning.
Most of the time, the people who drown may be alone or beyond the reach of timely help—but not always. A great many die in plain view of friends and family members who do not recognize the true warning signs of imminent drowning.
This subject hits a bit close to home for me. When my father was young, he had an 8-year-old sister who drowned in a busy Boston public pool; no one noticed she was missing until far too late. I also have a friend who lost a 14-year-old nephew during a pool party at a family reunion, and I've seen how devastated that left all of them.
So on this Fourth of July weekend, when many of you will be enjoying yourselves in pools and at the beach (as you well should), please do bear in mind that Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning. As Mario Vittone, a Coast Guard safety specialist, described in that excellent and widely viewed blog post last year, the arm-waving, thrashing, water-choked histrionics that signify drowning in movies don't happen in real life. Rather, because of the Instinctive Drowning Response identified in the 1970s by Francesco A. Pia ("On Scene" magazine, Fall 2006, p. 14 [pdf]), victims are effectively incapable of calling or waving for help or even participating in their own rescue.
As Vittone writes, bystanders should therefore be alert for these other signs of drowning instead:
- Head low in the water, with mouth at water level
- Head tilted back with mouth open
- Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
- Eyes closed
- Hair hanging over forehead or eyes, with no effort to move it
- Not using legs – body suspended vertical in water
- Hyperventilating or gasping
- Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
- Trying to roll over on the back
- Trying to climb a ladder but rarely getting out of the water.
All those distress signs are subtle enough to be easily missed, especially in the tumult of a public pool on a hot summer day. Even a little more attentiveness when others are swimming may help to save lives, however, and prevent holiday fun from turning tragic.
P.S. After you read Vittone's post on drowning, follow the link at the bottom of the page to its companion piece on The Truth about Cold Water. Contrary to popular wisdom, it's not hypothermia that usually kills people who take an icy plunge—not unless they're lucky enough to be wearing a floatation device that keeps them afloat for quite a while. Heart attacks and drowning more often claim them first.

Mexico -- One Plate at a Time with Rick Bayless "The Soul of Mole" Mole is an idea that's half pre-Columbian, half European, and 100% Mexican - a sauce, a preparation and a national dish that rivals the culinary masterpieces of the world's greatest cuisines. Rick and his daughter, Lanie, set off on a culinary journey to explore the mysteries of mole that takes them from the mile-high piles of dried chiles in Mexico City's vast La Merced market to stalls selling towering mounds of concentrated mole paste. Back in Chicago, they're on a mission to make mole from scratch. D

From the Desk of John Hanson, Senior Vice President of Communications at the USO:
The military's only mortuary is located at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Military casualties from around the world pass through Dover where remains are prepared before going on to their final resting place. It's always been a busy operation, but since 9/11 the mortuary has been extremely active.
It would be difficult to find a place that operates with more respect and that provides more dignified service than at this location. Volunteers from the base augment the professional staff. They ensure that correct military uniforms and decorations are provided – even when the remains will not be viewed.
Last year, more family members were permitted to come to Dover to witness the dignified transfer of remains as they returned to the United States. For many families, this step in the process is critical as they begin to deal with the death of a loved one. The military strives to return these casualties to the U.S. extremely quickly, sometimes just days after a death – sometimes faster than that.
When survivors are notified about the death of a family member, they have to make a decision about whether to come to Dover to meet the flights bringing remains back home. Often, they have to be in Dover within hours of the notification.
[caption id="attachment_1184" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Inside the Families of the Fallen Center at Dover AFB. Photo courtesy of the Navy Times."][/caption]
Until last month, there was no special place for them to collect themselves as they waited for remains to arrive. There was no quiet place; no safe place to gather and deal with a rush of emotions we can only imagine.
But, on January 6, the USO and Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations opened the Families of the Fallen Center at Dover. The pictures here will give you an idea about how it looks and maybe even how it feels. It took just 90 days to turn an empty building into a place of dignified reflection. We're extremely grateful to the donors, contractors and vendors who worked with the USO and the base to turn this idea into reality.
The Honor Guard and USO volunteers who meet each and every fallen servicemember deserves our very best. In the following video, Center Director Joan Cote and former Dover Wing Commander John Pray, among others, reflect on the new Centers and why they're more than just bricks and mortar…
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" will be paying tribute to its ripped-from-the-headlines heritage this season, the drama's executive producer said.
The show returns for its 15th year at 9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, picking up on last season's cliffhanger finale that had New York City police Detective Olivia Benson (series star Mariska Hargitay) held at gunpoint by a rapist.
It will be followed by a second new episode at 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday, this one with a story line about kidnapped girls that echoes the Ariel Castro case in Cleveland.
In upcoming episodes, a politician will run into trouble over "sexting," while another plot will focus on a celebrity chef and the shooting of a young African-American man — an apparent mash-up of Paula Deen's racial-slur woes and the Trayvon Martin case.
"We use headlines as a jumping off point but we utilize them as a way to explore the issues that underline these stories," producer Warren Leight said.
While fiction, the episode about the chef demonstrates "how we all profile people one way or the other when we pass them on the street," he said.
The new season represents "a significant reboot" of the crime drama, said creator Dick Wolf, adding that Hargitay and the show have never been better.
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is the sole remaining first-run U.S. series in Wolf's "Law & Order" franchise.

Argentina asked a U.S. judge late on Friday to maintain his order blocking payment on defaulted sovereign bonds to holdout investors until lingering questions are settled in a higher court's appeals process.
Less than 15 minutes before a midnight deadline on Friday, Argentina's lawyers filed their brief outlining why U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa should reject the argument by holdout creditors to pay them in full on debt that has been in default since 2002.
Continue Reading Below
The arguments came three days after Argentina asked the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to reconsider its October 26 ruling that favored these holdout bondholders and rattled financial markets in the process.
That decision upheld the ruling, that was made by Griesa, that found the South American nation discriminated against bondholders such as Elliott Management Corp's NML Capital Ltd and Aurelius Capital Management. They refused to take part in two debt restructurings as Argentina tried to recover from a $100 billion default a decade ago.
Greisa had put his own ruling on hold pending the appeal and Argentina on Friday argued he should keep the freeze in place until outstanding issues were settled.
"The Court should not accept the false urgency plaintiffs are trying to create and allow the Republic and all potentially affected third parties to prosecute their appeal rights before any orders go into effect," Argentina said in its brief.
After the 2nd Circuit's ruling, Argentine officials were widely cited in the media saying they would flout the court and continue to pay investors who participated in the debt swaps but would never pay the holdout investors.
That prompted Griesa to demand a direct government pledge to comply with his orders.
National Director of Argentina's National Bureau of Public Credit, Francisco Eggers, submitted a signed affidavit saying the government would abide by the court's rulings and not seek to evade its directives.
"As directed by the court, on behalf of the Republic, I confirm that the Republic has complied, and will comply with the terms...," Eggers said.
Last month's ruling led to fears U.S. courts could ultimately inhibit debt payments to creditors who accepted the terms of the restructuring, out of consideration for investors who rejected Argentina's terms at the time.
This would trigger a technical default on approximately $24 billion worth of debt issued in the 2005 and 2010 exchanges.
"It is far beyond the bounds of equity to seek to enforce the rights of one litigant by jeopardizing the rights of others," lawyers representing a group of bondholders who participated in the exchange, led by Gramercy Funds Management LLC., said on Friday.
The briefs from Argentina and the exchange bondholders addressed two questions that the appeals court had referred back to Griesa for answers.
These were technical questions of how debt payments would be calculated and how to treat the involvement of third-party banks such as Bank of New York Mellon, which act as transfer agents for money owed to exchange bondholders.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said immediately following the October decision her country would not pay "one dollar to the vulture funds". That is her term for holdout investors who buy distressed or defaulted debt and then sue in international courts to get paid in full.
Eggers' statement contrasted with Fernandez's vow to keep making payments to other creditors.
Argentine bonds closed up 1 percent on average in over-the-counter trading in Buenos Aires on Friday after accumulating a loss of 4.1 percent in the previous three sessions.
Bank of New York Mellon , which transfers funds from the Argentine government to the country's bond holders, argued in a brief filed late on Friday to Griesa that it is not an agent of the Argentine government and maintains an "arm's length" relationship.
The bank said its "duty of loyalty runs to the Exchange holders", that is, to enforce the rights of investors who exchanged their bonds in 2005 and 2010.
"Punishing an innocent third party to try to obtain compliance from an enjoined party goes beyond any legitimate purpose for contempt," BNY Mellon said.
The bank said it could be put between a rock and a hard place if Griesa rules they are to make payments to all parties but are prohibited because Argentina does not transfer any money through it.
"BNY Mellon will face a potential conflict between its obligations to Exchange Holders under the Indenture and its obligations to the Court," the bank argued.
In that case, the bank said, it needs guidance from Griesa on what its duties and responsibilities would be.
Ultimately, the bank wants Griesa's order to remain in place, leaving the payments frozen until the 2nd Circuit reviews and rules on his logic.
The judge is expected to make a speedy response as Argentina is due to start making $3.3 billion worth of payments to exchange bondholders starting December 2. Griesa's ruling will automatically return to the appeals court for review.
In a court filing this week, NML and Aurelius urged Griesa to lift his February 23 stay on payments pending appeal.
October's ruling by the appeals court largely upheld injunctions issued in February by Griesa in favor of the holdouts, which own roughly $1.4 billion of defaulted debt.
The holdouts said in their argument to Griesa that terms of the swapped Argentine bonds may allow the country to circumvent the United States by using subsidiaries in London and Luxembourg to make debt payments.
Weighing in on the arguments before the deadline were other transfer agents, holdout investors and exchange bond holders.
The Clearing House Association, a banking association and payments company, sent a letter to Griesa explaining that any order should not apply to beneficiary's banks, funds-transfer systems or other parties in a funds transfer.
The letter was obtained from a source with direct knowledge of the case. It argued the ruling would cause "disruption of payment systems and delays in processing legitimate payments" made by Argentine entities that have nothing to do with the case.
Law firm Duane Morris, representing about 100 mainly Italian holdout investors with approximately $165 million in principal and pre-judgment interest, sided with NML.
"Despite its proclaimed ability to pay, Argentina has steadfastly refused to make payments that are due under the defaulted bonds - even to the individuals who are not "vultures", Anthony Costantini, a lawyer with Duane Morris wrote in a brief to Griesa on Friday.
On the other side are bond holders who participated in the exchanges who urged that NML not be allowed to collect on its judgments.
Fintech Advisory Inc, a New York investment management firm that gave up $698.9 million of the $1.052 billion it was owed by Argentina during the two debt swaps, argued if the judge sided with the holdout bondholders, Argentina would be in breach of contracts with exchange bondholders like itself.
"There is no basis for any order to cause such a result," Fintech's lawyers wrote.

By Thomas Ferraro
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday to extend for 10 years a ban against firearms that cannot be detected with metal detectors or X-ray scanners.
On a voice vote, the Republican-led House sent the measure to the Democratic-led Senate, which is expected to consider a tougher alternative before likely approving it.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urged Congress last month to extend the ban, citing a proliferation of plastic guns made with 3-D printers.
While the House has agreed on little this year, contributing to one of the most unproductive and unpopular Congresses ever, it passed the bill with bipartisan support despite reservations by a number of Democrats that it does not go far enough.
Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York has proposed plugging "a loophole" in the ban by requiring that all firearms include at least four ounces of metal that cannot be removed.
Without such a provision, Schumer and others warn, the metal could be taken off the firearm, allowing it to avoid detection and be carried into a supposedly secure area.
Schumer does not have much time to make his case. The ban expires on Monday, the day the Senate returns from a two-week recess.
On that day, Democrats may try to quickly approve Schumer's proposal with the unanimous consent of the Senate.
If that fails, as anticipated, the Senate is expected to give final approval to the House passed bill, clearing the way for President Barack Obama to sign it into law.
Democratic Representative Steve Israel of New York joined Republican Representative Howard Coble of North Carolina in drafting the House bill. Like Schumer, Israel prefers a stricter measure, but said at a minimum wants an extension of the ban.
"We now have enough momentum to pass an extension of the ban before December 9. But we don't have enough momentum to pass a modernization of the ban before December 9," Israel said.
"But once we pass this bill, we need to make sure bad guys can't skirt the law," said Israel, voicing confidence that the law will be strengthened. "It's common sense."
Representative Hal Rogers of Kentucky, a leading Republican, expressed concerns of his own, and said, "I'll be looking to tighten up the process."
Israel has proposed requiring that two major components for a handgun and three major components for a rifle be made of unremovable metal.
Earlier this year, the U.S. gun lobby helped defeat tougher gun control sought by Obama in wake of a massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Overall, the gun industry has not said much about the drive to extend the ban on undetectable guns, but backers believe fear of the industry is a reason why the House bill was not tougher.
Winnie Stachelberg, an executive director of the Center for American Politics, a liberal advocacy group, denounced the House bill as inadequate.
"We urge Congress to put public safety ahead of craven politics by enacting comprehensive legislation," Stachelberg said.
Israel said the National Rifle Association, one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington, had been essentially silent on the effort to renew the ban.
But the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, backed the extension in a letter to Congress.
"The current law has proven effective," wrote Lawrence Keane, the foundation's senior vice president and general counsel.
Keane said on Tuesday, however, that his group opposes proposals to toughen the ban, dismissing them as excessive and potentially harmful to the legal manufacturing of firearms.

Artists: Joshua Nordstrom
What year did you start tattooing: 1999
Do you have any special training: I was mentored but learned a lot on my own as far as tattooing goes. I am a self taught artist, I didn't go to art school. I read a lot of books and studied art independently. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the way it is supposed to be done. You either have it or you don't.
Tell us about the style of your work: Diverse, I can make the customer happy with just about any style of tattoo. Personally I like to do big lines and bold color in my work. I like to make tattoos that really stand off the skin, even after they heal. My tattoos heal as bright as the day you got them so a lot of people think they are fake.
Conventions usually worked: I don't really go to conventions, it is too expensive for me. The economy is bad where I live and I am just trying to keep my shop open.
What tattoo artist do you most admire: Nick Baxter and Nikko Hurtado stand out to me. I like anyone who is doing something different than everyone else. I like to see tattooing that pushes peoples perception of what can be done with a tattoo machine. There are a lot of people doing it now days and there is a lot of great artists that aren't getting exposure.
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them?: Check the artists portfolio. Is it what you want? Can the artist do the style of work that you want? If so get it. Don't bargain hunt.
How did you get into tattooing: Lots of no's and then finally a yes. Hard work, drawing until my fingers hurt and working on machines until I found the setups that suit my style of work and pushing that to its limit.
What inspires you to be an artist: I like taking a few ideas from the customer and then coming up with a unique design that hasn't been done before. I like to think that I am an artist not a inkjet printer. "I pick it, you stick it!" is not my favorite thing to hear.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing: Anything realistic, I really like the photorealistic style of tattooing. I also like neo-traditional, there is so much that can be done still in that style and I hope people keep pushing the limits.

Reflections from researching social impacts of the food, fuel and financial crises
This month we are launching our latest book, 'Living through Crises: how the food, fuel, and financial shocks affect the poor'. The book, which is a collaboration between IDS and the World Bank documents ordinary people's severe hardship during the global economic crises of recent years.
The book showcases the extent to which adverse, damaging coping responses became necessary. Based on qualitative data covering 17 developing countries from 2008 to 2011, the book describes the social impacts of the crises on the poorer, more vulnerable populations, revealing realities that are not always visible with quantitative research methods.
Launching the book made me reflect back – what were some of the things I learned about poverty and vulnerability that I didn't already know?
Securing enough food is stressful
Women and men would often take extra jobs and work very long hours to put food on the table. They complained of physical and mental exhaustion. They sought to keep the calories but lowered the quality to an extent where less nutritious diets caused malnourishment and made them more susceptible to health shocks. Stress led to alcohol and drug use and violence within the family.
Gender norms evolved
When men were no longer able to be breadwinners and women had to work more. Women faced pressures that were different from those faced by men but also sometimes had opportunities in the informal sector that men did not. Women were often very entrepreneurial in their efforts to diversify informal business activities but did not always meet with success, since many other people were trying the same just as crisis caused demand to fall off. Women faced a lot of stress and burdens of working long hours trying to earn something and making ends meet. Men also faced many hardships, including the loss of dignity when unable to provide for the family.
Youth might have been hit the hardest
Youth were we caught in a vacuum when having to drop out of education at a time when there were no jobs and no opportunities for them, at a critical juncture in their life. People often empathised with their condition, and lamented when it led to them teaming up in gangs or engaging in risky behaviours.
Informal support structures were critical but also became over-stretched
Informal mechanisms of support were easily more important than formal ones (although one wouldn't guess that from policy discussions that inevitably focus on the formal). Formal credit and social protection were not much present and when they were, did not always prove very helpful. One villager in Cambodia told us that "we fear the credit agent like we fear the tiger" – reflecting the dark side of the pride that microlenders universally take in their high repayment rates. Instead, family and community support networks helped people cope but also became over-stretched, reconfirming a point that has been made often though perhaps on somewhat speculative grounds, that systemic shocks overwhelm the capacity of informal structures. When that happened, support would sometimes be allocated along ethnic or religious lines in ways it had not been in the past, causing new frictions in the communities.
Thus, I learned that vulnerability has social costs and that vulnerability is not merely an abstract probability of falling below the poverty line. Many of these social costs play out at the level of individuals and of communities and may therefore not always be visible to quantitative approaches focused on the household as units of observation and analysis. The qualitative methods picked up on these nuanced aspects of crisis impacts and coping and delivered compelling narratives of what it means to live through times of crises.
There is a tremendous power in listening to the people one wants to learn about, a power that development economists like myself too often shy away from. This will not be the last time I use qualitative methods, although, as I also learned, one has to be careful with causality, sampling and when aggregating results from scattered sites into universal claims.
Rasmus Heltberg is a Senior Social Development Specialist at the World Bank's Social Development Department and author of more than 20 publications on poverty, vulnerability, household energy and climate change.

Mike Kogan Uses Same Gay Slur Nate Diaz Was Just Suspended For, Is a Complete Fucking Idiot
(The "fag shoes" in question, via @MikeKogan)
As Jared reminded us today while discussing Josh Thompson's unfortunate comments regarding gay marriage, the MMA world had managed to go a solid 20 days without a significant figure saying something extraordinarily stupid on social media. The last particular incident involved Nate Diaz's use of the term "fag," and was made even more memorable by Mike Kogan's moronic defense of Diaz's "Northern California" vernacular. Kogan — Diaz's manager — drew upon his years of public relations experience and his vast knowledge of etymology…and cited Urban Dictionary as evidence that Diaz's use of "fag" didn't constitute a homophobic slur.
Needless to say, people didn't really buy that.
However, let's give Kogan the benefit of the doubt here. Let's say he really doesn't believe that "fag" is a derogatory slur for homosexuals or a bigoted criticism of something perceived as homosexual behavior. It would mean Kogan has an extraordinarily poor grasp of context, history and sociopolitical reality — which incidentally, is entirely plausible in the case of Nate Diaz — but not to a far greater extent than many other Americans. It's not justifiable, but perhaps it's a plausible explanation for his ignorance.
Or at least it might have been, until he tweeted this.Read More DIGG THIS

I am writing in response to the violence in Ferguson, Mo. It truly hurts me to see what is happening there. My thoughts and my prayers go out to the family of Michael Brown.
Have we forgotten that prayer changes things, not violent protesting? It is time to "let go and let God." Look up to where our help comes from. He answers prayers in his time, not ours.
Help Mr. Brown's family. Don't hurt them in the way you are protesting.
Peace and calm are the keys to this situation. Jesus said it, "Peace be still."
There is near unanimity that the condition of our state's roads is in serious decline. However, there is debate as to why. Our roads are an asset, and as with most assets their condition can be measured by numbers.
What follows are figures that must be considered to make South Carolina's roads and bridges as safe and smooth as they were a generation ago.
S.C. Taxes and Fees
u South Carolina ranks No. 4 among 50 states in miles of state-maintained roads with 41,460 miles

This is a partial response to Sandy McGarry's article, "Local voters have clear choice in solicitor's race," in the Aug. 31 edition of The Lancaster News.
Ms. McGarry states that her candidate, Randy Newman, is a "passionate" prosecutor. This implies to me that he is a "soft" prosecutor who would not waste time indicting criminals, but let them go on "probation" to free up the backlog of pending criminal cases in our 6th Circuit.
John Richard's letter addressing the ills displayed by grocery store shoppers in the Aug. 31 edition of The Lancaster News probably earned him "Atta Boys" from readers all over the region.
With the new school year, parents' attention is turning to school lunches. Traditionally, then U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities.
Children consumed animal fat and sugary drinks, to the point where one-third have became overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws became lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Each year in America, texting drivers cause more than 100,000 automobile crashes resulting in death or life-changing injuries.
At AT&T, we are serious about wanting consumers to enjoy the benefits of wireless technology, while also using their mobile devices wisely and safely. So we launched the It Can Wait campaign, a national initiative designed to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving and to hopefully save lives by changing behavior.
In nearly 40 years as a lawyer, and 35 years as a law professor, I have seldom read or heard comments that demonstrated a greater lack of understanding about the American legal system than the letter from Sandy McGarry that appeared in the Aug. 31 issue of The Lancaster News.
That the letter was written by someone who is a local leader of a major political party made that lack of understanding even more disappointing.
I attended the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. workshop on the 2015 Economic Development Strategic Plan at the City of Light on Aug. 13. There were nine of us – two County Council members, two developers, four residents and a reporter.
People I discuss this with seem to have had enough strategic planning, workshops, committees and overlays.
All the gatherings ask the same questions, talk about the same problems and the progress is zero. I know all the organizations need to justify their existence, but could you please be more creative?
"Have you driven a Ford lately?" Do you remember that catchy phrase? Some of you may be too young to have heard of it. That was when America's economy was booming and there were plenty of jobs to go around. Now, we look for ways to invest what we have, wisely, so it will build interest and hold us over in the days to come.

With Cinco de Mayo Yesterday - Hope You Had a Happy One! Cinco Sunset, Moon Rise and Dinner
we thought we would publish our masa recipe that folks seems to love more than others. It is a little different and just plain delicious. Once you make your own masa, tortillas and tamales, and they don't have to be this fancy, you just won't want to buy them - even though you will.
For a dry mix, we swear by Minsa Corn Masa Harina for Tamales (make sure it is for tamales and not tortillas) made in Muleshoe, Texas - but any will do. Dry mix may be the most available across the USA so this recipe will use it even though some Brownman have been known to make fresh from hominy on occasion, or buy fresh from the Mexican Mercado.
Masa for Tamales and Tortillas
1 C dry masa harina
3/4 C home made chicken stock - have a little extra in case it is dry - I used 7/8 C total
1/4 C fat. (use 1/3 bacon and sausage dripping, 1/3 butter and 1/3 lard)
1/2 tsp salt
2 T of chopped very fine Swiss chard - I grow my own
1/8 tsp each dry peppers; mole, chipotle, arbol, ancho, smoked paprika
1/8 tsp each dried oregano, cumin, coriander
1/4 tsp baking powder
Directions - Mix the fat with the harina by cutting it in with a pasrty cutter. Add the chicken stock, peppers and spices and mix with a spoon until well combined. Refrigerate for 1 hour. For tortillas I use the bottom of 1 qt sauce pan to smash down a golf ball sized ball of masa into a 1/8" thick tortilla. Do this between two oiled sheets of plastic wrap if you don't want get mad and want to harm your baking apprentice. Then gently peel off the top plastic and then peel off the tortilla with the pal side of your hand making sure to overlap only 50% of the tortilla. Then lay the other 50% of the tortilla in a small dry Teflon pan heated to medium low while releasing the other 50% from your hand. I make my tamales in banana leaves, corn husks or parchment paper. These were made in parchment.
With this masa you can make, tacos, tamales, chips and quesadillas - some of which follow in pictures. Salmon tacos, pork carnitas tamales and chicken quesadillas. All were served with; crema and yogurt chipotle roulade, home made; pico de geudo with corn, guacamole, chili tomatillo verde sauce, red pepper sause, mole sauce, chipotle sauce, seasoned cabbage, Mexican dirty green rice and puerano, pinto, and black beans with smoked pork jowl.
And a little huevos rancheros for breakfast in the morning with chorizo, chipotle roulade and fake YW pretzel bread after sleeping on typical AZ sunset.
Cinco de mayo sunset, moonrise and dinner.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan authorities finished evacuating more than 2,000 inmates on Sunday from a prison where the government said 58 people were killed in one of the deadliest prison clashes in the nation's history.
More than two days after the bloodshed, Penitentiary Service Minister Iris Varela released an official death toll and said 46 wounded victims remained hospitalized.
She said the evacuation of Uribana prison in the city of Barquisimeto was completed on Sunday morning. Inmates were loaded aboard buses and driven to other prisons.
She and other officials appeared on television inside the empty prison compound, among wandering dogs and sheep that the inmates had kept. They pointed out makeshift shacks constructed with wood scraps and sheets of zinc where some inmates had taken shelter in the overcrowded prison.
Varela said that the violence erupted on Friday when groups of armed inmates began firing shots at National Guard troops who were attempting to carry out an inspection.
"There was resistance to what was imminent ... a peaceful inspection," Varela said, adding that groups of prisoners had opened fire "on a large scale."
Those killed included inmates as well as two Protestant pastors and one soldier, she said. One victim's body was burned, Varela said.
The death toll provided by the government differed from that given a day earlier by Dr. Ruy Medina, director of Central Hospital in the city, who had said 61 were reported killed and about 120 were wounded. Medina said that nearly all of the injuries were from gunshots.
Relatives of the victims mourned in funerals, while survivors' families waited anxiously to hear where inmates were taken.
"I still don't know where my son is," said Nayibe Mendez, the mother of a 22-year-old inmate who was unhurt. She spoke by telephone from outside the prison, where she and others gathered waiting for lists showing where their relatives were transported.
The riot was the latest in a series of deadly clashes in Venezuela's overcrowded and often anarchical prisons, where inmates typically obtain weapons and drugs with the help of corrupt guards. Critics called it proof that the government is failing to get a grip on a worsening national crisis in its penitentiaries.
The gunbattles seized attention amid uncertainty about President Hugo Chavez's future, while he remained in Cuba recovering and undergoing treatment more than six weeks after his latest cancer surgery.
Government officials pledged a thorough investigation, while critics said there should have been ways for the authorities to prevent such bloodshed.
The riot was the deadliest in nearly two decades. In January 1994, more than 100 inmates died in the country's bloodiest prison violence on record when a riot and fire set by inmates tore through a prison in the western city of Maracaibo. In 1992, about 60 inmates were killed in a riot in a Caracas prison.
Varela said the government decided to send troops to search the prison after reports of clashes between groups of inmates during the past two days. She said the government is battling against "mafias" that slip weapons into prisons, and that the authorities next plan to thoroughly search Uribana prison for hidden weapons.
She said that during one initial swing through the prison, officials came upon a grenade.
"No one doubts that inspections are necessary procedures to guarantee prison conditions in line with international standards, but they can't be carried out with the warlike attitude as (authorities) have done it," said Humberto Prado, an activist who leads the Venezuelan Prisons Observatory, a watchdog group. "It's clear that the inspection wasn't coordinated or put into practice as it should have been. It was evidently a disproportionate use of force."
In 2011, when Chavez had been in office for 12 years, he created a cabinet-level ministry to focus on prisons and appointed Varela to lead it. The president made that decision following a deadly, weekslong armed uprising at the prisons El Rodeo I and El Rodeo II outside Caracas.
Chavez at the time acknowledged that his government's previous initiatives to improve the prisons hadn't worked, and he pledged changes including building new prisons, improving conditions and speeding trials. Since then, Chavez has approved funds to repair and renovate prisons.
But opponents and activists say the government hasn't made real progress at penitentiaries where hundreds continue to die each year.
Violence has flared repeatedly at other prisons in the past year. In August, 25 people were killed and 43 wounded when two groups of inmates fought a gunbattle inside Yare I prison south of Caracas.
Venezuela has 33 prisons built to hold about 12,000 inmates. Officials have said the prisons' population is currently about 47,000.
Uribana prison was built to hold about 850 inmates. Varela said that when the violence erupted the prison held about 2,400.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles called government officials' response "incredible" and inadequate. Without mentioning Vice President Nicolas Maduro by name, Capriles criticized government officials who ordered an investigation and then traveled off to a summit in Chile.
He noted that in Brazil, President Dilma Rousseff reacted differently after a nightclub fire that killed more than 230 people, when she cut short her summit trip and returning to visit the injured.
"Here, they go away to a summit. They dispose of it as if it were one more matter, one more little problem," Capriles said at a televised event. "If we have a state that's not capable of providing security within a penitentiary, what's left for common citizens?"
"The problem that we're seeing can't be solved closing a prison," Capriles said. "The way to solve it is resolving the problem of overcrowding."
