The One is being sold by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile USA. It will not be sold by Verizon Wireless. The Galaxy S4 is also available from AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile USA, and it will reach Verizon Wireless later this month. The devices cost about the same: between $199 and $249 depending on the carrier and amount of storage inside.
The GS4 has taken an early lead over the One, according to data from mobile ad firm Chitika. The company measured ad impressions across its network to make this determination. Its data suggests that the GS4 was responsible for about 0.19% of all the mobile Web traffic in the U.S. between April 26 and May 6. By contrast, the HTC One, which went on sale about two weeks before the GS4, accounted for only 0.11% of mobile Web traffic between April 11 and May 6.
[ HTC has its work cut out ahead. Will the One help turn things around? Read HTC Plays Catch Up ]
"The Galaxy S4 seems to already be picking up where the popular Galaxy S3 left off," said Chitika in its report. "With its impressive growth rate, along with the upcoming Verizon launch of the device, it's likely that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will become the latest hit device for the Korean company."
Of the HTC One, Chitika said that it "has started to make its mark in the smartphone market despite limited availability." Compared to the Galaxy S4, however, Chitika said, "It's evident that HTC still has ground to make up competitively."
Chitika also provided some interesting data about how the Galaxy S4 compares to its predecessors and which Samsung devices are still popular among U.S. consumers.
For example, the Galaxy S3 is responsible for 57.8% of all the mobile Web traffic for Galaxy-branded devices. The Galaxy S2 trails with 32.9%, and the 2010-era Galaxy S is still responsible for 7.6%. After just a few weeks in the market, the GS4 accounts for 1.7% of all mobile Web traffic coming from Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones. Hopefully Chitika will update this data at the end of the quarter and again later this year so we can see how the GS4 continues to fare against its older siblings.
A similar breakdown of Web traffic from HTC's smartphones provides clues about the popularity of its devices. For example, the HTC EVO is the most popular HTC device on the market, responsible for 33.2% of HTC's Web traffic. The EVO was sold by Sprint and went on sale three years ago. That speaks volumes about HTC's success, or lack thereof, with its more recent smartphones. The 2010-era Droid Incredible followed the EVO, with 8.9% of HTC's Web traffic. Next up was last year's One X, with 5.9% of HTC's Web traffic. Rounding out the bottom are the One S with 4.2%, the One V with 3.5%, and the new HTC One with 1.9%.
The HTC One has a long, tough slog ahead of it.

The Glock 26 G4 9mm Bodyguard is similar in size and weight to the small frame .38 snubnose revolver.

The 4th Generation of the Glock Safe Action Pistol brings revolutionary design changes to the world's most popular pistol. Externally, what is immediately apparent is the multiple back strap design of the frame, which can be instantly adapted to small, standard and large frame hands.

Dec. 3 marked the deadline for Carl Icahn to see whether he and Icahn Enterprises LP should continue the $32.50 per share tender offer they extended to shareholders of specialty truck producer, Oshkosh Corp. (NYSE:OSK), one of the companies in Icahn's takeover radar. Icahn placed a 25 percent tender threshold by the time of the deadline to continue the offer, anticipating Oshkosh shareholder support.
The result? Only 22 percent of the shares were tendered by the time of the deadline, and no shares were purchased. As part of Icahn's self-inflicted stipulations, he and Icahn Enterprises LP were left to abandon the tender offer. On top of that, Icahn reported to stepping down from 9.5 percent ownership of the company and reducing his shares by 14 percent, according to GuruFocus Real Time Picks.
He now owns 8.13 percent of the company as of Dec. 5, after shedding about 1.2 million shares.
After reporting the tender outcome, Oshkosh issued a press release expressing its relief, stating:
"The board and management team thank shareholders for their continued support…Given today's tender results, Oshkosh looks forward to moving ahead without the unnecessary expense and distraction of a proxy contest."
Icahn and his team gave no indication whether they will continue to move forward to elect 13 directors in Oshkosh's next annual meeting, after attempting (and failing) to elect six board candidates at Oshkosh's meeting in January. Ever since acquiring Oshkosh in the second quarter of 2011, Icahn has always pushed for his relentless plans to undertake reconstruction of Oshkosh's management, customary in his activist investing practices.
Throughout the year, Icahn continuously bashed Oshkosh for claiming that the company's executives do not see the true value in Oshkosh and accusing its board for "congratulating themselves for actions taken in the past rather than addressing challenges the company faces in the present and future," according to Icahn's January letter to OshKosh shareholders.
"I am not sure why this management team feels that their past stock performance is an attribute for which they are owed loyalty, considering Oshkosh was trading at $35 per share at the start of 2011 and now trades in the low $20s. The company is also one of the worst performing among its peers in terms of stock performance over the past five years, and the worst in terms of 2012 projected earnings growth," Icahn said.
In a more recent interview with Bloomberg, Icahn particularly criticized Oshkosh CEO Charles Szews for the company's purchase of construction equipment company JLG industries in 2006, saying it was the company's poison pill and that JLG made "four to five CEO changes over the last few years."
After Icahn prompted Szews to "say adios!" from Oshkosh's board during the interview, Bloomberg highlighted Icahn's overall sentiment:
"Management has taken a passive attitude to the future of this company, willing to sit back and watch what happens to the defense, housing and construction industries. Oshkosh needs proactive shareholders to bring a proactive management team together to weather a volatile economy, a shrinking defense industry and a budget constrained municipal environment."
Since Icahn presented his comments about Oshkosh in January's letter, Oshkosh stock has risen to $28.07 as of today's trading. It currently has an annual revenue growth of 19.16 percent and an EBITDA growth rate of -23.4 percent. Recently, its free cash flow has been on a 32.3 percent decline, and a long-term debt of 955 million as of Sept. 30. (10-Year Financials)
While Icahn's $32.50-per-share offer valued the Wisconsin-based company at $3 billion, Oshkosh maintains a market cap of $2.69 billion, and an enterprise value of $3.1 billion. It has a P/E (ttm) ratio of 11.2, a P/B ratio of 1.4 and a P/S ratio of 0.3.
Oshkosh is a global designer and manufacturer of a broad range of specialty access equipment, commercial, fire, emergency and military vehicles and vehicle bodies. Its Oshkosh Defense division produces tactical military trucks and armored wheeled vehicles. It operates under several brands in addition to Oshkosh, including JLG, McNeilus, Jerr-Dan, Oshkosh Specialty Vehicles, Frontline, CON-E Co., London and IMT.
GuruFocus ranks Oshkosh a one-star Business Predictability, 6 out of 10 in Financial Strength and 7 out of 10 in Profitability and Growth. Its Warning Signs reveal a declining gross margin, cash flow divergence from reported earnings and an Altman Z-Score suggesting bankruptcy risk.

How to Save on Flights, Travel, and Hotels
10 Ways to Save on Summer Travel
Planning a vacation? Don't miss these 10 travel saving tips from Kiplinger.
Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer travel season. So if you're planning to hit the road this weekend or to take a vacation over the coming months, then here are tips to help keep costs under control.
Save money on the road
Download free travel apps. You can save time and money by downloading mobile applications. For example, you can use your smartphone to comparison shop for the lowest gas prices in your zip code with a free app such as GasBuddy. Here are more free travel apps you should consider downloading.
Avoid unnecessary rental car fees. If you rent a car to avoid putting miles on your own, then make sure that you don't pay more than you have to by saying no to the add-ons rental companies offer. See How to Avoid Unnecessary Rental Car Fees for the extras you should avoid.
Save money when flying
Check fares often. To find the best price on a ticket, you need to check fares often because they fluctuate throughout the day, says George Hobica, founder of AirfareWatchdog.com. Seat availability also varies during the day. For example, Hobica says an airline might have just one seat available at the lowest fare at 10 a.m., but it will open up more cheap seats later in the day.
Sign up for fare alerts. Don't have time to check airfares every day? Sign up for alerts from airlines and travel sites — such as AirfareWatchdog.com and FareCompare.com — so you'll know if prices drop.
Read on for more tips for air travel and hotel savings.
Search airline sites individually. Sites such as Travelocity, Kayak, and Bing Travel can help you compare prices among many airlines. But Hobica says that it pays to visit airlines' websites because some reserve their best fares for their own sites. For example, AirfareWatchdog fare searchers often find lower fares on JetBlue.com, even without discounts.
Be flexible. If you don't need to travel on a specific date, then Bing Travel will show you when fares are cheapest to a destination of your choice. Travelocity will search most domestic fares and many international ones over a 330-day search period. If you're looking to get away but don't have a particular destination in mind, then AirfareWatchdog.com will show you the cheapest flights out of the airport nearest to you. You also can save money if you're flexible about which airport you fly out of or into (see How to Save on Last-Minute Flights).
Avoid baggage fees. If saving money by being flexible isn't an option, then at least don't pay more than you have to when you fly. Only Southwest Airlines lets you check two bags for free. Most of the other airlines charge about $25 for your first checked bag and $35 for a second checked bag. So pack lightly in a carry-on or consider shipping your luggage, especially if you have overweight or oversized bags that will cost significantly less to ship.
Save money on accommodations
Try Priceline. I save big on hotel rooms whenever I use Priceline's Name Your Own Price feature. You won't know which hotel you're booking until you pay, but you can increase your odds of getting the hotel you want by following these tips.
Get a refund if your hotel price drops. If you book a room months before your actual stay, then chances are the price will be cheaper when you check in than when you made your reservation. However, if you book through Tingo, your room will automatically be rebooked at the lower rate if the hotel drops its price. Then you'll get a refund for the difference. (Learn more.)
Consider a vacation rental home, especially for longer stays. Renting an apartment, condo, or house can often be cheaper than a hotel room. Plus, you'll have access to a kitchen, so you won't have to pay for pricey restaurant meals. Check HomeAway.com or VRBO.com.

Mass killings in America began when God was being removed from every public place, including schools. At that time, this country took its first big leap into hell while born-again Christians and churches sat silent. What were you and your church doing to stop the eradication of God and his commandments from this great country?
America was founded on Christian values given to the authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by our living God. As a result, this country has been blessed more than any other in history as long as we honored the Lord and kept him at the helm. Failure to obey Gods commandments has brought on the moral decay of the people, which is bringing destruction to us, starting with the horrific weather changes and unimaginable crimes. This was predicted 2,000 years ago in the Bible.
Its bad enough having federal and state legislators going against Gods will, but I never thought the day would come when The Durango Herald would choose to promote Satan and his sinful agenda while ignoring God. The front-page gay pictures and articles (Herald, Jan. 5) is the last straw. Homosexuals should be encouraged to seek Jesus Christ for deliverance and salvation not making laws to mask their sins. This also applies to straight couples living together (fornication) without the benefit of Gods ordained marriage.
The Holy King James Bible gave us the cure for mass killings and other crimes being committed. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
What are we waiting for? Contact our government officials and demand they either follow Gods plan or resign.

Code formating for:- HTML- CSS- JS- PHP... other langs. later
I think this future in Sublime Text 2 can bring alot of people because APP developers mostly use Microsoft Visual Strudio and other developers (web, scripting ...) editors like this.
I know code is indented when in new line but CUT-ing and COPY-ing does not indent code so their should be option Format whole code via keyboard and menu.
I know their is JS Formater and PHP formater:- JS formater send data to web which i dont like because code is private property- PHP formater doesnt work getting strange error
Hopefully this feauture will be realesed till BETA ends.
HTML: github.com/SublimeText/TagJS: github.com/jdc0589/JsFormat ( no code to network, works locally )
Tnx JSFormat works wellHTML tag plugins works also but has issues with PHP mixed in HTML.
What i dont like about this seperate plugins is that each one has its own keybinding and are seperated plugins.
Would it be great that their is one plugins which contains:- One keybinding CTRL+F - All in one plugin which detects what file it is and use that formating- Formating HTML, CSS,JS, PHP ...
You can change the keybindings to all be the same (they don't need to be the same plugin) and there won't be any conflicts as long as the plugins know to only run in a certain scope.
One plugin to rule them all...
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class FormatFileCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
if self.view.match_selector(0, "source.js, source.json"):
elif self.view.match_selector(0, "text.html.basic"):
molchy:Tag package key binding has been changed to "CTRL+ALT+F" as in jsformat.CTRL+F is find!
Yea sorry typo tnx
Tested sublime text 2 and is nice but some feautures are missing which are needet for my development so will stick with Netbeans 7.1 until this feautures are in sublime text:- HTML ( Doesnt brake if PHP in it ), CSS, XML,JS, PHP formater as one plugin- Good is that code frameworks can be implemented in snippets for auto complete so thats not issue- Function DOC tip- Visaul Diff tool which shows two documents and differences- Navigator which shows (HTML DOM structure, CSS structure, PHP functions) and on click jumps to the function- When working on file i wanna see open path to it in file browser... maybe some other stuff but cant remamber
Sublime text 2 is not bad but i dont wanna pay for licence if i must develop plugins for it to have what i need in my development. I need a tool which i setup, install plugins and use.
So, in short you want SublimeText behave like Netbeans. If you are happy with Netbeans, why not just stick with it?
Sublime has some feautures which are better or new and useful also. Not all of above feautures are 100 % needet but multie purpuse Code Formater is something which every editor need. Auto compleate can be self made so their is no problem. Other stuff is good but not 100 % nesecary.
So make code formater which works HTML, PHP, CSS, XML, JS and i am happy with sublime auto compleate for Codeigniter i can make myself

By Frank Porter and Trinette Marquis
There's a quote hanging in our offices: Change is a process, not an event.
In the Twin Rivers Unified School District, it's a moderating theme -- reminding us that unification may have started with our community vote in November 2007, but it is a process that moves forward with a thousand different choices each day.
Now that we are more than four months into our first school year as a merged district, we have had a chance to look back at a few themes that may assist districts considering or faced with a similar approach to school reform.
Internal communication is key
After the election, our district became very popular with our local media. Unlike any of the former districts, media representatives routinely attended our board meetings and frequently called "just to see if there was anything new." It's tempting to forget that our new media friends are not our most important audience.
Each employee, no matter how supportive of unification, is nervous. Even if they are familiar with board members or the superintendent, the trust that was built in previous districts does not completely carry over. It is vitally important that you bring your staff into as many decisions as possible, and that those decisions are communicated internally before they appear in the local media.
Twin Rivers began a series of staff and community conversations in the spring of 2007. Held in each of the geographic areas of the new district, more than 400 participants came together at each of the events to discuss the goals, challenges, and foundation of Twin Rivers.
Community input was captured, published in a theme-based guide, and made public on our website. It served as a guide to our school board as they made decisions about our mission, our vision, and our policies.
Technology is important
One hurdle we encountered was in our communication technology. Merging four e-mail and information systems into one has proven to be an ongoing challenge for the Twin Rivers staff and community.
If you don't have accurate addresses, phone numbers, or e-mails for students and staff, you lose the opportunity to communicate about the changes taking place, the climate being shaped, and the expectations being set districtwide.
In the communication gap, rumors grow. Without real-time communication tools in place, they are more difficult to address. From a practical perspective, any disruption of the flow of information slows progress.
Change is difficult
Even when people support the big picture and ultimate goal, they are reluctant to change what they know. Each of the four unifying districts had a way of doing things that people knew, and for some staff, the changes we put in place were jarring, at least initially.
When you change who an administrator calls for a substitute, who they call to get a facility permit, how a flyer is translated and printed, and dozens of other operational procedures and/or contacts, it is seen as just one more challenge added to the day.
Some people will enthusiastically embrace the change, while others will need time. Creating acceptance for both groups is important. Making time and space for this is important.
To help address this concern, we published open invitations to our faculty and staff to meet informally for "listening sessions" at their school sites. We listened to their questions and concerns and worked to resolve the district's operational and start-up issues and recognize teachers and staff for their important work.
It's tempting to focus exclusively on the concrete operational issues that can be addressed with project plans and deadlines. But, in many cases, taking care of your people first should be your most important priority.
Focus on students and standards
Despite the operational challenges many faced -- from technology snags to changes to every form, process, and policy -- most of Twin Rivers' employees make a decision each day to focus on students.
No matter how difficult this first year has proven to be, our classrooms continue to facilitate extraordinary learning. Our buses run on time, our facilities are cleaned each day, and our people make sure students get through this transition smoothly.
Setting the standards for the district on community involvement, academic achievement, ethical behavior, customer service, and fiscal integrity sets the stage. We are all flexible about first-year operational challenges, but there are certain non-negotiable values that create the foundation for Twin Rivers and uphold the commitment to our community.
This commitment is reinforced by our school board members in our public board meetings, in their public and private conduct, and in their decisions. Our seven trustees were elected as individuals, but they quickly became a unified board focused on students and standards.
Yes, it's work
Our office lights are rarely out before 7 p.m., our home Internet connections have never seen so much activity, and lazy weekends are a distant memory. But there also are days that lift us out of the everyday challenges and remind us why the unification of Twin Rivers is so important, why re-creating education in our community is the best work out there.
Our "First Day Celebration" and beginning-of-the-year employee rally reminded us of the hopes and aspirations of our community and staff. Our first day of school and first districtwide professional development day reminded us of the amazing potential that we have in front of us.
The opening celebration of our new elementary-level soccer league, which brought sports to many of our students for the first time, reminded us that even our small first steps already have had a positive impact on the lives of many of our families.
Watching most of our central office staff finally move into new office space and begin to have those hallway conversations that spark innovation and collaboration reminds us that each day we are more unified.
And yes, many of us still get a small thrill from seeing a bus or maintenance truck go by with the new Twin Rivers name and logo. Hey, it can't be all work.
Frank Porter (firstname.lastname@example.com) is superintendent of the Twin Rivers Unified School District, just outside Sacramento, Calif. Trinette Marquis (email@example.com) is the district's director of communications.
About this story and series
"The Road to Unity: A Midyear Report" is the latest in a series of stories that examine the first year of a school district's consolidation. Starting in September 2008 and running through June 2009, ASBJ and the National School Boards Association's National Affiliate program are collaborating online and in print to study consolidation and its impact on a newly merged district.
The effort focuses on the Twin Rivers Unified School District, located on the outskirts of Sacramento, Calif. In November 2007, voters agreed to unify three former elementary districts and a high school district into a single pre-K through 12 entity that serves approximately 30,000 students. The district started serving students in the fall of 2008.
The project examines what led to the consolidation and how Twin Rivers is dealing with various issues and challenges that the merger presents. ASBJ is publishing stories monthly that look at how consolidation is affecting districts across the country, while the National Affiliate resource page includes interviews, community relations tools, legal documents, and much, much more. Newly posted to the site is a video of a midyear interview with Twin Rivers Superintendent Frank Porter and several school board members.

TWO men pinned under a Fraser Island tourist bus have been airlifted to hospital by the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter.
The bus was being driven along the beach, north of the Maheno wreck, when it got a flat tyre about 3.30pm on Wednesday.
An AGL Action Rescue Helicopter spokeswoman said the driver and a passenger were changing the tyre when another passenger got back on the bus, causing it to shift off the jack.
The 49-year-old driver from Rainbow Beach had his hand crushed while the 29-year-old UK tourist assisting him suffered lacerations to his left arm.
Both men were airlifted to Hervey Bay Hospital in a stable condition.
The lastest incident follows a tour bus catching on fire and being burnt out near the Maheno shipwreck on October 23.
The driver evacuated all passengers safely after he saw smoke coming from the engine.

ORLANDO, FL -- A new trade organization has been established to further the interests of the coin-operated amusements industry in Florida. The Amusement Machine Owners Association of Florida was announced by its organizers here last month. | SEE STORY
AMOAF's formation came about as a result of efforts by 14 game operators to reactivate the dormant Florida Amusement Machine Association by acquiring its legal and tax records, and opening a new bank account (see VT, September). The motive was concern over recent Florida legislative and regulatory initiatives that appear to signal a profound lack of knowledge about the state's long-established amusement and jukebox music industry.
The first general membership meeting of the new AMOAF was held on Oct. 19 at Betson Florida's offices in Orlando, according to Jack Kelleher, executive director of the Amusement and Music Operators Association (W. Dundee, IL). Legislative issues and plans were discussed, the formal bylaws were presented to the members for approval and board members were elected.
The association's officers for the coming year were introduced at the meeting. Serving as president is Dale M. Williams, Williams Amusements (Orlando). Founded in 1978, the company markets to family fun centers, hotels and theme parks. Williams is a past director and president of the former Florida state association.
Chosen vice-president is Larry Adami, Livingston's Amusement Center (Sarasota), who opened one of the first upscale billiards and game rooms in the state in 1990. Late last year, he purchased a new facility, expanding his FEC from 12,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet.
Greg Trent of Beyer and Brown (South Daytona) becomes treasurer. His company has been active in the area's music and games business since 1941, and he has been in the industry since 1990. Trent currently serves as a vice-president on the Amusement and Music Operators Association's board of directors.
Assuming the post of AMOAF secretary is Phil Juckem, All Brands Vending (Tampa), which markets to sports bars and family restaurants. His background is in accounting, and he recently completed a nine-year tenure as an officer and director of the national AMOA.
AMOAF's annual membership dues have been set at $1 a day ($365 a year). Information about the association and its goals may be requested from secretary Juckem by calling (813) 259-9495 or emailing to email@example.com.
Membership applications can be obtained by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or by contacting Joe Kirby of Betson, Tim Paukner of Brady (Orlando) or Ed Chermak of Legacy Coin-Operated Distributors (Myrtle Beach, SC).

Sustainability is no longer purely an architectural concept in the design of contemporary K-12 school buildings. It has evolved into a sophisticated educational tool supporting specific curricula for students at many different levels.
Numerous sustainable technologies are being used in schools, ranging from geothermal, ice storage, and heat recovery systems to photovoltaics and daylighting. Each has the potential to be incorporated into school curricula. The challenge for school facilities managers is to include this technology in a way that students can observe it at work and collect data from it for class discussion.
You can ask your architect for programs he or she has seen work, or make up your own by assessing how your facility can educate your students. Find the educational tools in your school building and grounds and create lesson plans based on how your building functions.

After having sold off all the parts of my gamer to pay medical bills, the household CFO has given me the green light to purchase a new desktop. Since I have an account at Dell, I just ordered their new XPS 8500. So now I'm going to be in the market for some kind of Hauppauge/AverMedia type device to hook up to my cable, and be able to record the programming I never get to see.
So, is there any consensus on which company makes the best one for, say, under $100?
I've been looking around and TiVo's are way more than I would feel comfortable spending, considering you also have to pay a monthhly fee (or over $400 for a lifetime account).
It seems that Apple TV does everything but record, and I'm not in a position right now financially to build a new computer with a tv card.
So, anyone have any idea what I can get to be able to record tv without spending hundreds of dollars, or incuring a monthly fee?
This is what I have set up in the front room that I would be adding a DVR to:

Armed with six handguns between them, three Taunton men — calling themselves the "Supreme Team" — targeted a vehicle operated by their enemies on southbound Route 24 in Freetown on May 17, 2009, prosecutors said.
Armed with six handguns between them, three Taunton men — calling themselves the "Supreme Team" — targeted a vehicle operated by their enemies on southbound Route 24 in Freetown on May 17, 2009, prosecutors said.
Each bearing "Death Before Dishonor" tattoos, the trio drove up in two cars and shot several rounds at the moving vehicle, striking and killing 29-year-old Troy Pina of Taunton, prosecutors said Thursday during opening statements in Fall River Superior Court.
Jose Fernandes, 27, is on trial for murder and assault to murder after allegedly firing a .45-caliber handgun at the vehicle, in which Pina was riding in the front passenger's seat.
Defense attorney Timothy J. Bradl said during his opening statements that the prosecution's case is built on unreliable witnesses with "axes to grind, agendas and benefits" they hoped to obtain in exchange for their cooperation with police.
"We're going to be all over the place, and you're going to have to unravel, if you possibly can, who said what and which one of those is the truth," Bradl told the jury.
Assistant District Attorney Stephen Nadeau said the prosecution's case consists of witness statements, ballistic evidence and cellphone records that place Fernandes and his two alleged accomplices at the crime scene.
After Pina was killed, Fernandes allegedly bragged to friends and associates that he had fired the fatal shot, though ballistic evidence showed Pina was actually killed by a single .40-caliber bullet.
Nadeau said the shooting stemmed from a festering feud that began in May 2008 between Fernandes, Marcus Mitchell, 25, Thomas Jeffreys, 34, and a group including Pina and Francisco Monteiro, 32, a man with a lengthy arrest record and prior addresses in Bourne and New Bedford.
The breaking point, Nadeau said, was when Monteiro beat up Jeffreys during a fight.
"At that point, the Supreme Team got together and decided it was on, that things had reached the point of no return," Nadeau said.
The suspects allegedly obtained six firearms — a 9-mm, a .45-caliber and four .40-caliber handguns — from someone who bought the guns from stores in New Hampshire. The suspects began walking in a group and were on the lookout for Pina and Monteiro, prosecutors said.
"There were six guns in the hands of the Supreme Team," Nadeau said.
Hours before the fatal shooting, the suspects had spotted Monteiro and Pina in Taunton and tried shooting at them but missed, Nadeau said.
After spotting Monteiro's car on Route 24 southbound, the suspects gave chase, Nadeau said, adding that cellphone tower records show that Fernandes and Jeffreys were calling each other in the area near the drive-by shooting at that time.
The two other occupants in the vehicle with Monteiro and Pina — a woman and an alleged New Bedford gang member who would be shot dead a month later in an unrelated incident — were not struck by gunfire.
After the shooting, Monteiro drove his vehicle to Saint Anne's Hospital in Fall River, where Pina was declared dead.
The morning after the incident, Fernandes allegedly picked up Jeffrey's vehicle, which had been hidden behind a residence in Taunton, Nadeau said.
That same day, Fernandes allegedly had a friend drive him to the woods to bury a goldfish. Nadeau told jurors it was more likely that he went to bury evidence.
During the investigation, police found several .40- and .45-caliber slugs inside Monteiro's vehicle that showed that at least three handguns had been fired at the car, Nadeau said.
Police also executed a search warrant at Jeffreys' apartment, where they found ammunition and magazines for .40- and .45-caliber handguns. Sometime later, police officers responded to a call at Fernandes' girlfriend's home and found a .40-caliber Glock handgun consistent with the type of weapon used to kill Pina, Nadeau said.
Investigators also later found a .40-caliber shell casing inside Jeffrey's vehicle, Nadeau said.
Fernandes allegedly talked about his involvement in the crime, divulging to associates details that were not publicly released, such as the caliber of the handguns used in the shooting, said Nadeau, who suggested that Fernandes displayed a guilty conscience.
Sometime later, Fernandes — after seeing Monteiro inside a Taunton bar — allegedly called someone to say he wanted "to finish off the job," Nadeau said.
Fernandes also allegedly planned to kill the woman who was in the car with Pina because Fernandes feared that she would talk to police. Nadeau said investigators found a note, allegedly written by Fernandes, saying the woman "gotta go; it's for the team."
The note also included the Supreme Team's motto, "Death Before Dishonor," Nadeau said.
However, during his brief opening statements, Bradl said the prosecution's witnesses gave conflicting statements over time and that the three people who were in the vehicle with Pina at first told police that they did not see anyone who shot at them, and even mentioned seeing an 18-wheeler on the road.
Bradl said the prosecution's case is marred by "evolving stories and evolving truths." Bradl also hinted that Fernandes may testify during the trial, which is expected to last two weeks. Testimony will resume this morning.
Jeffreys and Mitchell — both also facing murder and firearm-related charges — are still awaiting trial.

For years my younger son has had the habit of crawling into my lap at the dinner table after he finishes eating. I don't remember why, how or when this started – I only know that he's a big 10 year old now with unwieldy limbs, and this tradition is becoming uncomfortable. This is the conversation we had at breakfast this morning.
10 year old: Let me sit with you!
Me: No, ahorita no, this chair isn't built for two people. La silla se va a quebrar.
10 year old: Por fa? I'll wash the dishes!
Me: Mentira!
10 year old: I'm not mentira-ing, I really will!
I love his Spanglish, but his Spanish is getting better when he chooses to use it – His bribing skills though, are quite advanced. Check out a post I wrote for SpanglishBaby called, The Lesser Known Dangers of Bribing a Bilingual Child.

'ART' by Yasmina Reza
How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play. Winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. "…a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne… Reza is a fiendishly clever writer…_'ART'_ sounds like a marriage of Molière and Woody Allen…" —Newsweek. "That such a simple plot can throw up such profound and meaty ideas about the rules that dictate art and friendship is a real treat. The real pleasures come from Reza's creation of three beautifully defined, original characters…" —The Mail (London).

It wasn't enough that Pope Francis was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" or that he fronted this week's Rolling Stone magazine. Now there's SuperPope graffiti sprouting up around the Vatican.
The white caped crusader appeared Tuesday on a wall just off Borgo Pio, a tiny cobble-stoned street near St. Peter's Square. In typical superhero fashion, Francis' right fist is thrust in the air, leading him in flight, while his left clutches his black satchel. "Valores," or values in Spanish, is written across it.
The artist is identified only as Maupal.
Francis has charmed the masses with his simplicity and message of helping the poor, even as he has cracked down on Vatican waste and corruption.
The Vatican communications office approved of the image, tweeting a photo Tuesday.
Check out the Rolling Stone cover.

These are my finishes from April and so far in May.
First one was a Round Robin I did with another group and was actually what we called Across the Pond and around the World Round Robin was overseas before it came back home. I made the center which was a free paper piece pattern on Carol Doak's website and finished the quilt off with a friendship braid on the outer most round in order to get it to a king size and my longarm friend quilted it for me. It is wrinkly as I have washed it and had been folded waiting to Photo when we had nice weather as it is huge :)
Attachment 412818Attachment 412819
This one was made from blocks I had won at my quilt guild. The block pattern is from Moda Bake Shop called Saltwater Taffy. My longarm friend quilted it for me. This one was a gift for one of my nieces for her 12th B-day this last week.
Attachment 412820
Last but not least...This one was from a mystery quilt pattern on another site. I think the pattern was originally designed for Missouri Star Quilt Co. Made mine out of batiks and my longarm friend quilted it for me. This one is still with me but thinking it will be for my Dad for fathers day or his B-day .

Thanks for looking :)

Nine men in South Florida have been arrested and accused of betting significant amounts of money on youth football games, some involving children as young as age 5.
Eight of the people cuffed by the Broward Sheriff's Office were coaches in the league, some of whom allegedly even paid out "bonuses" to their players for good performances, according to police.
The Sheriff's Office built their case during an 18-month investigation they labeled "Operation Dirty Play" and they learned the epicenter for the alleged betting was not the scattered pee-wee football fields across Broward County where coaches made wagers and exchanged cash, but a barber shop called Red Carpet Kutz.
The place, investigators charge, was a front for an illegal gambling ring which took in bets on professional sports as well as the South Florida Youth Football League. An arrest warrant claims more than $100,000was wagered on the league's championship game alone. ESPN, which first uncovered the story, reports $20,000 was bet on a recent game.
Out of control? 5 concussions in 1 Pop Warner game!
When police raided Red Carpet Kutz, they uncovered a floor safe, which contained $37,000 in cash, according to Sheriff Al Lamberti.
The man who runs Red Carpet Kutz is Brandon Bivins, a youth football head coach who was charged with felony bookmaking and operating a gambling house. Bivins is currently out of jail after bonding out on Wednesday. He already has an extensive criminal record, which includes time served for cocaine possession, aggravated assault with a weapon and grand theft auto. Many of the other coaches arrested also have lengthy rap sheets.
"Bivins wasn't in it for the kids, he was in it for the money," Lamberti told ESPN. He added the league was run by "coaches who are nothing more than criminals."
Opinion: Why my son will never play football
South Florida authorities began investigating in 2011 after ESPN's "Outside the Lines" ran a feature on alleged gambling among the football league's coaches and officials, which included video surveillance. Their cameras captured guys in the stands flagrantly exchanging wads of cash while little kids ran around on the field below.
A detective told ESPN it was often the coaches themselves setting the point spreads on the games involving their teams. He said one coach "collected a wad of cash that he waved in front of the players indicating how much was riding on them."
There are about 6,000 children in the South Florida Youth Football League, according to the league's own website. On the front of the site is a message declaring, "The SFYFL is taking a hard stand on gambling, recruiting, paying kids to play and big hits on players. Any spectators or certified personnel caught doing any of the above should immediately be asked to leave the park."
A letterfrom the league's president says "SFYFL does not condone, nor will it tolerate, any kind of gambling."

The Southwest Times reports (http://bit.ly/127mP7q ) that Circuit Judge Steve Tabor ruled Tuesday that Arkansas law and state Supreme Court precedent are clear that when a county or district votes to prohibit liquor sales - then no portion of that county or district may hold a local option election.
Booneville attorney Erik Danielson challenged the Nov. 6 election in which Barling voters approved liquor sales by a nearly two-to-one margin.
Danielson said that because the entire southern district of Sebastian County had banned liquor sales in 1944 - then state law requires the entire district to vote on whether a single city can allow liquor sales and Tabor agreed.

Corn Sensitivity And Pregnancy
Minstinguette posted a topic in Celiac Disease - PregnancyDoes anyone have experience to share about corn intolerance and pregnancy? It's my first pregnancy and it's been a struggle. I am VERY sensitive to anything corn-derived and have to get my medication compounded. Being pregnant has been complicated: finding corn-free prenatals (couldn't find any, I'm taking separate vitamins), dealing with cravings on a restrictive diet, pregnancy symptoms vs "glutenings", corn in glucose tolerance test, corn in IV... I am the only one having to deal with this? Doctors don't seem to understand and it's frustrating.
Corn Sensitivity
Minstinguette replied to Finally@45's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesHere is what I found on mannitol: "Mannitol, a naturally occurring alcohol, is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, medicine, and chemical industries. It is currently produced as a 25/75 mixture of mannitol and sorbitol (another sugar alcohol) by high pressure hydrogenation of 50/50 fructose/glucose mixture (corn derived sugars) in an aqueous solution at high temperature with a catalyst." http://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?seq_no_115=189024 I am not sure if there is such a thing as corn free mannitol. Maybe another corn free expert on this board can enlighten us?
Corn Sensitivity
Minstinguette replied to Finally@45's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesThank you D. So mannitol in your B12 didn't bother you? It's usually made from corn, so I've been avoid it.
Corn Sensitivity
Minstinguette replied to Finally@45's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesDesperateladysaved, would you mind telling me what brand of supplements was safe for you (corn free)? I take some Kirkman Lab's but I am still looking for totally corn free B12. Vit C is not easy to find either.
Does Dh React To Corticosteroids And Can It Be Triggered By Corn?
Minstinguette replied to Minstinguette's topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisThank you Squirmingitch and Kareng for your input! Yes I have been gluten free for several years. My rash appeared after about 2 years gluten free. Contrary to my eczema it always flares up when I eat gluten and sometimes when I eat something processed. Hopefully I'll end up figuring out what it is. But right now I'm pregnant and my rashes are killing me...
Does Dh React To Corticosteroids And Can It Be Triggered By Corn?
Minstinguette posted a topic in Dermatitis HerpetiformisHi! Just a quick question for people suffering from DH. Does the itch/redness diminish when applying a corticosteroid cream? I have always had eczema and have been prescribed Triamcinolone for it. Since last year, I have developed a weird rash on my finger that looks like DH (tiny blisters, extremely itchy). I am wondering if it's really DH or just another type of eczema. I get some relief when I put Triamcinolone on it (but it usually bounces right back). Any insight on that? Another question for those with DH and corn intolerance: do you get a flare-up if you get "corned"? Just trying to figure out what triggers my flare-ups and if it's really DH. Thanks!
Sleeping Disorders Linked To Celiac Disease?
Minstinguette replied to Waitingindreams's topic in Celiac Disease - SleepTo respond to your question about corn, I didn't know I was intolerant until I took a food intolerance test. I know these are not always reliable, but in my case it was spot on. Corn is everywhere (think xanthan gum, citric acid, flavorings, preservatives etc.) so it's difficult to pin point a reaction to it. However, since I went corn free I have been feeling much better and I can now tell when I get "corned". I am not saying that you are necessarily corn intolerant, but it's good to keep in mind that other foods can also cause problems.
Coffee - Good Or Bad?
Minstinguette replied to Ys255's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithMy mom is gluten intolerant just like me and she cannot have coffee. She's intolerant to it. She has been gluten free for a while and every time she tries to add coffee back, she gets sick. So I think it's possible that you might be intolerant to it. I hope not!
Sleeping Disorders Linked To Celiac Disease?
Minstinguette replied to Waitingindreams's topic in Celiac Disease - SleepDid you check your vitamins levels and your thyroid? Also make sure you identified any other intolerance you might have. I looked up Idiopathic Central Nervous System Hypersomnia and it feels familiar. I used to think something was wrong with me because I could easily sleep 10 to 14 hours a night, sometimes even longer. I would have an extremely difficult time waking up, drifting in and out of consciousness and feeling "drunk". I would also feel very sleepy throughout the day. Now after several years being gluten/corn/dairy free, it's so much better. I still need more sleep than most people and am not a morning person, but I feel "normal" again. I can wake up in the morning and I rarely feel sleepy during the day. When I feel like I need more energy I take blue-green algae, which helps me focus, or I do some yoga/breathing exercices. I hope it gets better with time!
Recurrent Nightmares And Earworms
Minstinguette replied to Minstinguette's topic in Celiac Disease - SleepThanks for sharing! I used to have these dreams too where you feel like you're falling. I would never have thought that gluten could affect my sleep like that before I went gluten free.
Recurrent Nightmares And Earworms
Minstinguette posted a topic in Celiac Disease - SleepI just wanted to share two of my weird gluten symptoms and was curious to know if anyone has experienced the same. Before I went gluten free I had recurrent SCARY nightmares, usually involving either water (floods, tsunamis) or violence (somebody trying to kill me, I'm being shot at, and so on) that left me feeling like crap when I woke up. I remember having these as a little girl. I used to wake up remembering sometimes up to 10 different dreams, all very crazy and complex. They disappeared when I went gluten free. I actually don't remember my dreams now. I miss the "good" dreams sometimes... But the nightmares come back every time I accidentally get glutened. I also used to wake up EVERY DAY with a different song playing in my mind. Songs that I don't even particularly like or listen to! This also disappeared when I went gluten free but comes back with the slightest glutening. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms?
Help, What Am I Reacting To?
Minstinguette replied to Minstinguette's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesThank you both for your advice. I just wanted to post an update. I found out that I react to some of Bob's Red Mill gluten free flours. I'm thinking gluten or corn cross-contamination. I react strongly to corn, so that might be it. Now I need to find a safer brand, or make my own...
Help, What Am I Reacting To?
Minstinguette replied to Minstinguette's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesThanks notme! No, no soy in any of these things. I know what you mean about soy too, I get the same reaction to soy milk (tamari doesn't seem to bother me though).
Help, What Am I Reacting To?
Minstinguette posted a topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesI am hoping some of you can help me understand what I am reacting to. I have been having mild reactions on and off after in the last two weeks. I get the usual migraine and feel very sleepy and foggy. I have been trying to identify the culprit but I no luck so far. I get these reactions after eating breakfast and figured it has to be one or several of theses: Justin's almond butter Bob's Red Mill flax seed Bob's Red Mill chia seeds Let's do Organic shredded coconut Larabar Jocalat hazelnut I stopped eating the Jocalat bars thinking it was that, but I kept having reactions. I am confused because I have been able to have the other ingredients with no problem on other occasions in the past. I react to gluten, corn and dairy. I feel like this is more of a corn reaction but I am not sure. Any ideas?
Multiple Intolerances And Restaurants?
Minstinguette replied to Maryw88's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesI am intolerant to gluten, corn and dairy. I don't know if it helps but I regularly eat out at indian, thai or vietnamese restaurants. Indian is a good pick because the dishes "normally" don't contain any wheat or corn and they often have vegan options (sometimes I ask to have meat added to a vegan spinach stew for example). I have reacted only once while eating out in the last year or so (my guess is coconut milk contained xantham gum). I try to pick nicer restaurants and always ask questions. I also eat sushi with no problem (no eel, no fish eggs) or just order some grilled meat/ fish with steamed veggies, or any safe side. You might also try African (West African) food if there's any where you live. Good luck!

Earlier in the month, Engadget posted leaked photographs of what was claimed to be a new slimmed down version of the PlayStation 3 from a factory somewhere in China. The photographs are grainy and you would naturally doubt if the pictures were legitimate.
In an interesting twist, a Chinese company has sent Engadget a takedown notice demanding the pictures be taken down. They were also instructed to keep quiet about the fact they had received a takedown notice. Engadget reacted quickly, posting the contents of the takedown notice on their site for the world to see. Images of the rumored slim PlayStation 3 are still viewable as well.
Although the take down notice was not from Sony, Engadget points out threatening takedown notices for leaked photographs only help to legitimize those photographs.
More recently, Ars Technica's insider at Sony also confirmed the release of a slim PlayStation 3 is likely in August or September. The Ars Technica article points out the slimmed down version of the PlayStation 3 will most likely not be announced at E3 as Sony is waiting for current generation PlayStation 3s sitting on store shelves to be all sold off first.
The insider also confirmed the upcoming PlayStation Portable with no UMD drive will be officially revealed at E3.

I run QCADCAM-Pro 3.4.6 on openSUSE 13.1 KDE 4.12.4

Linux PVE-LinuxSRV5 3.11.10-9.gdf9697b-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 8 15:41:04 UTC 2014 (df9697b) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Overall performance and operation has been excellent, until recently, which **may** coincide with upgrade from KDE 4.11.x to KDE 4.12.y.
The issue I am seeing is related to opening files.
- If I navigate to a file.dxf in Dolphin (KDE file manager), then right click on it and select Open With: qcad, all is well
If I start qcad with ./qcad from the install directory, or if I start it from the GUI (using a customized qcad.desktp file),then chose File-Open Recent and select from the list, file.dxf opens OK
If I start qcad with ./qcad from the install directory, or if I start it from the GUI (using a customized qcad.desktp file), then choose File-Open, a file browser opens (I believe this is called the kde file chooser interface), I can navigate my file system to a file, I left click on a file , which normally would select it, the file chooser window closes but no file gets opened in QCADCAM.
Here is a capture of CLI messages
Code: Select all
Debug: RCamScriptsPlugin: init

Warning: Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Warning: Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)[/b]
The highlighted CLI messages appear when I move the mouse into the tree hierarchy of the file chooser interface.
((Hmmm, color and bold highlighting not working in code window?))
I tried similar CLI starups with gimp and inkscape, but thesy seem to use a differnt file chooser interface (I believe called the qT file chooser)
QCAD seems to use the KDE chooser (via KDE integration), so I tried a know KDE App with these results
Code: Select all
> gwenview
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QDBusObjectPath)
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QDBusObjectPath)
The file choosing process worked OK there, same file chooser as QCAD.
Note the same two "No such signal" warnings, but no complaint about " KGlobal::locale().."
I plan to take this issue to the openSUSE forum as well, but expect a request I check with the application author.
Any thoughts from your end?

Just days away from the release of his new album Nothing Was the Same, Drake stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (Sept. 20) to perform a new track off the album. What DeGeneres had in store for him was something he likely wasn't expecting.
"We're going to play a game while you're here. You're a very private person and I think people want to know more about you," DeGeneres said.
She then cut to the point: "You've dated a lot of people and we're just curious. I'm going to show you some pictures and you're going to say, 'Dated her, dating her now, I've kissed her once or maybe I held her hand.'"

Intelligent Immigration to Build a Stronger Canada
As concerned citizens of Canada, we firmly support a diverse and plural society and recognize that Canada's future growth and prosperity is dependent on our ability to attract and retain the right people to immigrate to Canada.
The current system fails both Canada and our new immigrants, by institutionalizing a mismatch between skills, values and ability to contribute to our society. This leads not only to a drain on Canadian resources, but condemns new immigrants to a subordinate life on the margins of Canadian society.
In order to ensure that our immigration system benefits both Canada and the new immigrants, we urge the Federal Government to take the following steps immediately:
1. Ensure English or French language proficiency for all Economic migrants.
2. Limit migration and sponsorship to immediate dependent family only, i.e. spouses and children under 21.
3. Confirm Canadian equivalence of education and professional credentials, and admit professionals only after ascertaining they can perform in their chosen field.
4. Give preference to individuals with existing and validated offers of employment from Canadian employers.
5. Factor in previous familiarity with and knowledge of Canada and our culture, values and institutions.
6. Ensure that immigrants are aware of, understand, and accept universal Canadian values of equality, mutual respect and mutual acceptance.
7. While retaining our humanitarian obligations to oppressed people worldwide, ensure our refugee policy rejects people who are not fleeing government persecution, applicants from democratic nations, or those arriving from a safe third country
Without these reasonable measures being put in place, we fear a gradual splintering of Canada into multiple enclaves of segregated ethnicities, driven by the inability and/or unwillingness to adapt to Canada, driving economic and social marginalization, and ensuring ongoing adherence to the norms of the countries of origin.
The Federal Government needs to take actions now, to ensure that we build a strong Canada while retaining and enhancing our reputation as a fair, welcoming society for all people who can contribute to our growth and eventually become equal citizens and fellow-Canadians.

The club stayed at Richardson's fish camp for this years end of year tournament. Nice place , VERY quaint , but OK . My father-in-law and I arrived Thurs. and got to pre-fish that afternoon and Friday prior to the Saturday/Sunday event. I found some schooling bass and located an area in Goblits cove that had some current flow that looked promising Thursday but the next day was a bust. I checked the schoolers and got a decent fish quick so called it a day at noon Friday.
Day one of the tournament and my one spot has a guide with clients shiner fishing on it. Dang it , I was counting on that spot. Had to move on.
The schoolers didn't fire up 'till noon so I started plan "B". Chunk and wind and hope. Hit a area with Kissimmee grass and got a 4.11 (Sat. Big bass pot winner) so turned around and got another solid fish on the same grass line. Moved out to my number in the middle of the lake and caught a throwback on the first cast. Next cast and I hook up again. This one keeps and also runs one of the trebles slam through my left thumb and continues to flop on the other end of the rattle trap. Oww , Oww ... After lots of choice words and FINALLY getting the bass in the well it was surgery time . My pliers were too crappy to cut the hook so I mashed the barb down and pulled it back through. Oww , Oww ..
Of course now I have drifted off the school and it takes 30 minutes to relocate them and I finally cull through a bunch of dinks to fill my limit.
At the ramp I take the day pot , big fish pot , and am in first place overall ! Cool , but I'm only in the lead by 5oz. ahead of my F.I.L. who never cranked his big motor due to carb trouble.
Day two and I have no plan .. Morning started slow with only dinks and I stsrt talking to a guy fishing near by. He says he won 4 straight tournaments June/July and recently lost a Wed. night deal by one pound. He had 31lbs and someone came in with 32 ! OK , I'm all ears.
He tells me about an area and how he fishes it and I thank him. I get a decent 2 lb before I head to his area.
He was dead on. I didn't fish how he suggested but flipped it. Got big fish of the tournament (check) won the day (mo Money) and caught a gar to take the trashfish pot.! Mo Money. Basically swept the whole thing except missed one trashfish pot. I won Angler of the Year for the 3rd straight year before fishing this. Not easy to do with the guys in this club. They are pretty tough to beat.
Part of my stringer. Never mind the Default date on the pic.
HAve a good one.

DURHAM, N.C.--- North Carolina had to play from behind in Saturday night's key ACC Coastal Division tilt at Duke after playing dreadfully in the first half, and after finally getting its act together in the fourth quarter the Tar Heels played to a frantic finish.
Remarkably after trailing the entire game UNC had the lead in the final minute, only to watch Duke trudge 87 yards in 14 plays with the game hanging in the balance.
Jamison Crowder made the game-winning catch on fourth down with 13 seconds left as Duke held on for a thrilling 33-30 triumph at Wallace Wade Stadium.
The Blue Devils (6-2, 3-1 ACC) came out the more inspired and more focused football team in building a 20-6 halftime lead, and managed to hang onto the lead until a freak play in the final four minutes, when Giovani Bernard scooped up a fumble and gave Carolina a 30-26 lead with 3:12 to go---UNC's first lead since midway through the first quarter.
Carolina drew first blood on an early Casey Barth field goal, set up by a 60-yard screen pass from backup QB Marquise Williams to Bernard.
Bernard had 123 of UNC's 152 first half yards, and he got nearly half of that on the screen pass from Williams.
Williams came in for a single play following a hard fall by Renner, which briefly forced him out of the game. Renner didn't seem the same after he was jolted to the ground on that opening drive, as he seemed to play much of the next three quarters in a weird daze.
Duke's offense was precise and on the mark in the first half, as quarterback Sean Renfree completed 10 of 14 passes for 138 yards over the first two periods. He led the Blue Devils to three scoring drives and 13 unanswered points over an eight-minute stretch in the first quarter and early second quarter, turning UNC's early 3-0 advantage into a 13-3 Duke lead.
During that stretch the Blue Devils took advantage of a flurry of UNC mistakes, including a costly 'roughing the passer' penalty on Kevin Reddick that nullified a Darien Rankin interception deep in Duke territory, and a fumble after a catch by Eric Ebron that the Blue Devils recovered and went on to drive for another score.
Then, after Barth connected on his second field goal to make the score 13-6 after another failed red zone drive by the Tar Heel offense, Duke marched 44 yards in eight plays, culminated by a Duncan 2-yard touchdown run to take the 20-6 halftime advantage.
Four different receivers had at least two catches in the first half for Duke, while running backs Juwan Thompson and Jela Duncan rushed 20 times for a combined 88 net rushing yards---just 11 yards less in one half than the Tar Heel defense has been averaging over a whole game so far this fall (99.7 ypg).
Duke found remarkable success running the ball up the middle, pounding the Tar Heels time and again between the tackles on the ground. For the game the Blue Devils ran 53 times for 234 net rushing yards.
In the third quarter UNC marched into Duke territory and stalled out, setting up Barth for a potential 52-yard field goal.
But the Tar Heels ran a fake field goal, as holder and starting punter Thomas Hibbard rambled across the first down marker.
But for the third time on the night Carolina failed to score from within the red zone, and a 28-yard field goal by Barth made the score 20-9.
Not to be outdone, however, Renfree promptly drove Duke back inside Carolina's 10 yard line, where the Blue Devils converted another field goal to take a 23-9 lead heading into the final period.
Duke got the ball early in the fourth quarter with a chance to put the game away for all intents and purpose, but the Tar Heels got a huge stop on fourth down on a Blue Devil fake punt attempt, seizing the momentum much as they did with a similar defensive hold in the second half against Louisville.
The Blue Devils forced a fourth and six on UNC on its next offensive possession, but Renner, in what was his best throw of the game to that point, found Ebron alone downfield for 36 yards to put the Tar Heels close. Bernard pushed UNC down to the 1-yard line, where on a third down play he dove over the goal line.
Trailing 23-16, the Tar Heels allowed Duke to again move into field goal range, where Blue Devil kicker Ross Martin nailed his fourth field goal of the night to make it 26-16 at the 9:22 mark of the fourth quarter.
With the pressure on in a big way, Renner coolly led the Tar Heels on a 10-play, 75-yard jaunt, highlighted by a 30-plus yard reception by Ebron, several nice runs by Bernard, and a touchdown pass to Sean Tapley, which cut Duke's lead to 26-23 at the 6:28 mark.
Following a UNC defensive stop, the Tar Heels got the ball back with a chance to take the lead and they did just that on one of the strangest plays anyone can recall in this ages-old gridiron rivalry.
Senior Erik Highsmith caught a pass deep in Duke territory but fumbled around the Blue Devil 22.
But then Bernard came out of nowhere, scooping up the loose ball and running the remaining distance to stunningly give UNC a 30-26 lead with under four minutes to go.
Incredibly, despite its overall poor play, the Tar Heels were in the lead, and all they had to do was get a single defensive stop and the Victory Bell would remain in Chapel Hill.
But it wasn't to be, as Renfree continued to slice apart the UNC secondary on his way downfield. Duke pushed all the way to the Tar Heel 5 before the game's fateful play, Renfree's scoring pass to Crowder in the middle of the end zone.
Crowder's leaping catch set off a frenzied celebration on the Duke sidelines, and following a couple of stops on Carolina's desperate last-ditch possession, the Blue Devil faithful stormed the field while the Duke players raced across to the UNC sideline to reclaim the Victory Bell for the first time since 2003.
What makes the win even sweeter for Duke is that they're now bowl-eligible for the first time since 1994.
For Carolina, who falls to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in league play with the loss, not only do they relinquish the Victory Bell, but they lose a piece of first place in the ACC Coastal and a key tiebreaker to the Blue Devils heading into another heated local rivalry battle next weekend in Kenan Stadium against N.C. State.
Stay tuned to Tar Heel Illustrated throughout the evening and Sunday for more on Carolina's stunning loss to the Blue Devils.

(SportsNetwork.com) - If the New York Rangers need to find some confidence, they need to look no further than their most recent road effort.
The Rangers will try to get on a roll during an upcoming stretch of home games, a span that begins on Friday night versus the Dallas Stars.
New York will play four straight and seven of its next eight at home, where it is 8-10-3 this season. The Rangers hit the ice just two nights after picking up a 3-2 victory in Chicago over the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, one that saw the Blueshirts start and finish strong following a second-period hiccup.
Brad Richards and Mats Zuccarello scored in the first period for New York, but Chicago countered with a pair of second-period tallies to even the game. It stayed deadlocked until Carl Hagelin lit the lamp with 5:57 remaining in the game to give the Rangers their 12th victory in their last 16 on the road.
Henrik Lundqvist made 35 saves as New York improved to 6-2-1 in its last nine games overall.
"Beating the Stanley Cup champions in this building is not an easy task," said Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault. "We knew it would take our best effort, and it did."
Richards, Hagelin and Zuccarello all joined Chris Kreider for the team lead with 11 goals, while Richards, who assisted on Hagelin's winner, and Zuccarello are tops on the club with 31 points.
Lundqvist is likely to draw the start tonight and has a 1.99 goals against average in seven career starts versus the Stars with a 4-3-0 record. He made 41 saves in a 3-2 road win over Dallas on Nov. 21, stopping all 23 shots he faced in the first period.
Kreider and John Moore scored 37 seconds apart early in the third period to lift the Rangers, who have won three of their last four versus the Stars.
Dallas has yet to win in January, opening the month with a season-high four- game losing streak, getting outscored 19-8 in that span. The Stars were shut out for the first time this season last night, falling 1-0 in New Jersey.
It was a better defensive effort than the one displayed in a 7-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday to begin a three-game trip that ends tonight, with Kari Lehtonen bouncing back with 33 saves.
He had allowed all seven goals versus the Islanders, but yielded only Michael Ryder's second-period marker on Thursday.
"We gave them a lot of chances in the second period," Dallas center Tyler Seguin said. "It wasn't very good at all."
Dallas is on its longest losing streak since ending last season with five straight losses and fell to 1-5-1 in its last seven games versus the Eastern Conference.
Lehtonen made 24 saves in the earlier loss to the Rangers, falling to 5-4-1 with a 2.59 GAA versus the club. Backup Dan Ellis is 3-2-2 with a 2.63 GAA in seven career starts against the Rangers.

PASADENA - Charges have been filed against Pasadena man whose niece chewed a cigar.
Roy Thomas Ruiz, 22, is charged with endangering a child.
Pasadena police said Ruiz was smoking synthetic marijuana and lost consciousness.
His two nieces, ages 14 and 2 were inside his home at the time, police said.
The children were staying with their uncle for the evening, police said.
While Ruiz was passed out, the 2-year-old grabbed one of his cigars and chewed on it, police said.
Investigators said Ruiz did not voluntarily take the child to a doctor or hospital.
He's in the Harris County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
The case has been turned over to Child Protective Services.
