The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and the Nevada Department of Transportation threw their support behind Boulder City Mayor Roger Tobler on Wednesday as the city grapples with an influx of traffic since the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge opened in November.
Officials from the RTC and NDOT said they would support rerouting commercial truck traffic onto U.S. 95 -- the path it took while the bridge was under construction for eight years -- and pledged assistance in securing funding for the Boulder City Bypass, rebranded as part of the proposed Interstate 11 project connecting Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The announcement comes a month after the bridge's opening, as thousands of additional vehicles have been pouring though town on U.S. 93. Four months ago the city council passed a symbolic ordinance forbidding trucks on the highway to send a message to state and federal officials.
The problem with constructing the bypass, said Jacob Snow, general manager of the RTC, has always been funding. Rudy Malfabon, deputy director for NDOT in Southern Nevada, estimated it would cost $360 million to build.
With the state facing one of the worst budget crises in decades, the money isn't there. Both Snow and Malfabon said they didn't know when funding might be available.
"We have to have the resources first," Snow said.
In the meantime, there are other steps to take, Snow said. The RTC believes there is a state of emergency in Boulder City, he said, and transportation officials will soon ask the Federal Highway Administration to redirect commercial trucks onto U.S. 95 through Searchlight and Laughlin.
Another short-term fix could be to install digital signs in Arizona, which would warn drivers about congestion in Boulder City and suggest U.S. 95 as an alternative.
But Snow and Tobler said eliminating truck traffic and adding signs wouldn't solve the issue, as the bridge itself is attracting other visitors and adding to traffic counts.
Tobler said he hopes that with the support of the RTC and NDOT, they can convince the Nevada Legislature and Congress that the traffic influx is "not just a local problem." Snow estimated about 34,000 vehicles pass through Boulder City each day.
U.S. 93, which has four lanes coming into the city, narrows to two lanes through the city. Tobler said he's seen cars backed up by 11 a.m. or noon.
Some businesses along U.S. 93 have reported a drop in sales, Tobler said, as local customers are avoiding the traffic jam. Jill Lagan, CEO of the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, said she had concerns about the effect on the local economy.
"People may not come back," she said. "We need repeat customers. We want that repeat customer to be satisfied."
Fire Chief Keith Nicholson said the department's response times have grown and police officer John Glenn said he has seen a jump in traffic accidents since the bridge opened.
Tobler noted that U.S. 95 and portions of U.S. 93 outside of Boulder City have seen improvements since construction on the bridge began in 2003, making Boulder City's segment of U.S. 93 the only area affected by increased traffic that went unimproved.
"The current situation is unacceptable," said Tobler, who added that he owns Home Hardware and Variety near U.S. 93 and Canyon Road. In August, at his suggestion, the city council passed an ordinance removing U.S. 93 from the Canada-Mexico trucking route, a symbolic gesture toward state and federal authorities to raise awareness.
The clog on U.S. 93 in Boulder City, Snow said, could also have negative long-term effects for the rest of Las Vegas Valley, as it would discourage traffic coming through Arizona. The bus route from Las Vegas to Boulder City is "the most unreliable in our system," he added.
With the combined punch of economic impact and public safety concerns, Snow said Tobler and the city's efforts might find new ears in Carson City and Washington. If the Boulder City Bypass is rolled into the I-11 project, he said it could have access to federal funding.
Tobler, who said he ran for city council eight years ago in part because of the bypass issue, also suggested lobbying the Legislature to consider tolling, which is currently illegal in Nevada, to pay for the bypass.

He could have summed all that up by saying "I'm a religious bigot".
GW Bush (Rep.) was also elected twice with the second vote being suspicious.
Trump has been elected under 'unusual' circumstances. He came from nowhere in far less time than Obama (who had been a politician previously) with questions about Russian involvement.
Does a person's ability to do a job rely on his religious persuasion or lack of it? No, it doesn't.
If this man is a representative of 'land of the free and home of the brave', I feel sorry for the US. He's a disgrace. If he's saying his piece on behalf of his alleged religion, his church going fellows should be ashamed of him.
Wearing a cross on your hat doesn't make you a Christian; in this case it's just an excuse (and a very poor one) which does nothing to excuse hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

A bit lite on observable facts.
• Didn't like Obama's name - too Muslim, too soon after 9/11.
• Didn't like that Obama "came from nowhere in 6 years."
• Don't know where Obama was born.
• Cheating in elections. Nobody actually counted the votes - "they" just elected him. The people are too easily tricked and duped.
• Can have a black president, but can't have a Xian president. IIRC, they have *all* identified as Xian, including Obama.
• Worst of all, Obama is *still alive*. Must be an emissary from hell.
• Obama was the judgement of God. How else can you explain it?
I like the last one. If Obama was the judgement of God, surely this guy should suck it up.

This is not what you think, definitely not vulgarity using the third finger ok.
Yesterday was a classic Monday blues day for me.
After the week-long Raya holiday, I was worried on Sunday night that I could not wake up at 4:45am the next morning. I triple-checked the alarm on my alarm clock and mobile phone on Sunday night. After my previous incident of oversleeping when I had forgotten to turn on my alarm clock, I now have a phobia of not setting my alarm clock.
When my alarm clock buzzed at 4:45am on Monday morning, I stumbled out of bed. In the haste to get up, I accidentally scratched my left finger with my right fingers when I pulled my blanket off… from the third finger all the way 8cm up to the knuckle shiats! It was darn painful pulling my skin off too *SOBS* The skin from my injured left hand was scraped off and lodged underneath the finger nails of my right hand. How gross can that be, ewwwwwww!!
While Cass was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she slipped and fell backward. She hit her head and back. This rascal who hardly cries, cried. I was scared shit, worried that she had injured her brain and back. Her back is now bruised and the back of her head has a bump. She told me last night that her back was painful when she lay on the bed 🙁

Guardiola: "En 4 anys no hem fet el ridícul"
Speaking to the press ahead of the league game at the Camp Nou against Mallorca, Josep Guardiola has singled out Leo Messi for praise, saying that he has never worked with anybody who can produce brilliant football with such consistency.
The special one
"I don't think there has ever been a player in history that can do what he manages to do every three days. It's unthinkable. People buy tickets just to see him play and he is doing something unique. To find a player that has managed to be so consistent for four years. Who is so fit, who fights so hard. I've never seen anything like it, such consistency... perhaps I'm too young, but I never played with anybody like him and I have never coached a player like that either. He is a better player than anybody else, he has a gift," said Guardiola to the reporters in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper pressroom.
Guardiola added that his star striker "knows very well what we all think, all of the coaching staff, the people that look after him, and the other players... We are all delighted with what he does, has done and will do. And of course nothing that we have done would have been possible without him. He is a different kind of player, his stats make him different and he lets you win games at all levels... There is never a game in which he doesn't generate play. It's undebatable as far as we're concerned. If there is any debate, then so be it, but it doesn't weaken him and it won't weaken him in the future."
Dangers of Mallorca
On Mallorca, who FCB play on Saturday, Guardiola said "they have their weapons. Mallorca is a team which character, which Caparrós instills in his players, and they're a difficult opponent. We will have to play with our heads if we want the three points... We will have stick to our way of generating a lot of chances and making sure they don't."
Guardiola will have both Carles Puyol and Gerard Piqué back in the side now that they have been declared fit. He said that "it is always good news because the more we are the better. Whether they'll get to play is something we'll decide tomorrow."
Nothing foolish
Asked about the tendency to only judge the team in the short term the manager answered that "that doesn't matter. I go by what I see in the matches. We may play well or badly, but we never fail to respond. Generally, they're playing more than excellently and I'm more than satisfied. We are on good form and I'm delighted with what the team is doing. We have never been made to look like fools in four years, and that's not easy in sport. That's the greatest value of this team, and without that we would never have won 12 titles out of 15."He added that winning by huge margins is not always a good thing because it can lead to confusion. "Sometimes it can be positive not to be so brilliant. It is not always good for us to win games by high scores because then people tend to start thinking that that is what should always happen."
Josep Guardiola was also asked for his opinion about Eusebio Sacristán's B team. "There is a lot of talent in the reserves" he said. "They've got off to a slow start, but you must remember that they hardly had a preseason because there were hardly any players. Now they're all coming back. I think the team will have a good season. What they have to do is stay up, and finish as high as possible, and they have to learn concepts, get to play and move onwards. They have just got two wins in a row, that will do them the world of good."

Imagine if we never had any more computer problems. No more rail travel chaos caused by signal failures, no more accidents, internet banking that is always secure and medical equipment that always works as it should. It would be a dream world. But aren't errors inevitable in computer systems? Won't some things always be overlooked? Not anymore! We no longer have to overlook anything, according to University of Twente PhD candidate Eduardo Zambon of the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT). Because with model checking we can remove the faults from the systems, making them error-free. Zambon, originally from Brazil, obtained his PhD on this subject on January 24, 2013.
Model checking is not the same as testing computer systems. With testing, errors can be traced in the systems, but testing is never sufficient to anticipate all possible combinations of errors in advance. With model checking, an advanced mathematical method of checking computer systems, for example with the use of the GROOVE modelling tool, this is a real possibility. Research in this field has been carried out at the University of Twente for the last ten years. "We want the world to know that we have made great advances in this area, and that the business community, and also the government, can ultimately benefit from our research", says Arend Rensink, Professor of Software Modelling, Transformation and Verification and Eduardo Zambon's thesis supervisor and tutor. "We help programmers on their way, so that soon they will be able to guarantee the reliability of their software."
"You have to realise that computer systems can be analysed endlessly: the number of possible scenarios is incalculable. All kinds of things can go wrong, in ways you cannot predict. But if we are always warned in advance of everything that could go wrong, then we can predict the future, so to speak. That might sound like a very grand claim, but with our research it can be achieved. We then actually have the solution before the problem arises, and that is essential for reliable software!"
"To give a few very concrete examples: we can help the national railway company combat signal failures, and even prevent rail accidents. Or take the current problems with the Fyra high speed trains: we could have traced them, because it turns out that merely testing the operating systems is not enough. And the same applies in other areas. The Albert Heijn supermarket chain always places beer orders, but in one particular period, after Carnival, no beer orders arrived. All kinds of things went wrong in their computer system, and this had a direct effect on the company's efficiency. If we had applied our analysis there, we could have removed this 'bug' from the system in advance. That saves an organization a lot of time, money and trouble. So we can safely say that we have developed a predictive model for all areas where computers are used, and we can't wait to apply it to the full in society", according to Eduardo Zambon and Arend Rensink.

Former Owners of Hawks Sue Insurance Company Over Ferry Settlement
The former owners of Atlanta Hawks Basketball and Entertainment LLC have sued New Hampshire Insurance Company. The group sued the company because of breach of contract. The contract violation involves the settlement of claims which were cited by Danny Ferry, the former general manager.

Tonight at 12am GMT the promo video for the Rolling Stones' new single 'Doom And Gloom' premiered. Watch it here:
The Rolling Stones have just delivered a controversial new video clip directed by Jonas Akerlund and staring award winning Swedish actress Noomi Rapace and it packs a punch. She jumped at the chance to get up close and personal with the Stones in Paris and the results are somewhat eye-catching.
The group filmed the footage behind closed doors in a Paris warehouse to promo their latest track, 'Doom and Gloom' just prior to playing five big shows in London and New York. Jagger, Richards, Watts & Wood signed up Ms. Rapace, star of the cult movie The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, to join them and the results are bound to shock some ….and please others. Rather like the character in the movie, Noomi plays a punk wild child who not only joins the Stones performance, she also goes in for some rather splendid rock n roll /trash the place type behaviour… all in the best possible taste.
The Stones are rock's original bad boys: "the ones in the 'Black Hats'" as Keith described their image recently. They have raised some hell during their 50 year career as portrayed in the new documentary film Crossfire Hurricane. However in the 'Doom And Gloom' video, Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie look like innocent bystanders compared to the outrageous antics of Noomi Rapace.
While the Stones look super-cool playing Doom & Gloom, the actress goes into meltdown in one crazy sequence after another.
Fans will be stunned when she:
• Is chased in a Louisiana swamp by evil zombies who end up in a shoot out
• Lies semi-naked on a bed of 100 dollar bills then sets fire to the money and flushes it down the toilet.
• Gorges on junk food …throws up .. head explodes
• Dances at the roadside in skimpy outfit flashing at unsuspecting motorists.
• Struts into shot with the band and takes over vocal performance from Jagger and drums
for Charlie Watts.
In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Noomi portrayed troubled young woman Lisbeth Salander investigating a crooked billionaire. The 2009 movie, directed by Stieg Larsson, was a surprise cult hit seen by more than six million fans. She also starred in Ridley Scott's Prometheus.
The stunning promo is directed by the Swedish film maker Jonas Akerlun who won a Grammy Award for 'Ray Of Light' by Madonna and has also worked with Beyonce, Lady Gaga, The Prodigy and Christina Aguilera.
The Rolling Stones new 'Doom And Gloom' video is guaranteed to make a major impact and proves the Stones are still uber creative, looking forward and pushing boundaries.
'Doom and Gloom' is taken from the album GRRR! which is available now.

Are you an individual interested in locking services or a stylist interested in learning to create locks? Feel free to contact us! firstname.lastname@example.com
Any and all hair textures welcome.
I am Jennifer Hyde, I have been working on dreadlocks for 20+ years... Here is my story.
People always ask how and when I got into doing dreadlocks in the salon. I guess it is a somewhat interesting story, so here goes...
I began my career long, long ago in a land very far away... Just kidding. I began in Missouri to be exact. After a long and rocky journey through beauty schools (Yes, I said schools. Another interesting story for another time.) I ended back up in my home town trying to gain clientele by bribing my friends with free hairstyles. It was a small town so I figured this would gain me some new client referrals sooner or later, as I had a very large and diverse friend network and people in small towns talk! It worked. The unexpected part was that the most referrals came in from my friends who were not of my same ethnic background, with hair very unlike my own. Before I knew it I was busy as can be doing relaxers, finger waves, and don't laugh it was the early 90s-- CareFreeCurls on over-curly (the technical term) hair textures. Soon almost 75% of my clientele was made up of this hair-type. During this time I also worked along side a master barber. He was not only was a clipper cutting genius, but also specialized in this over-curly hair-type. I was getting opportunities left and right for learning. I loved it. I soaked everything up like a sponge.
Soon after, I opened my first salon. My clients, both men and ladies, began to inquire about dreadlocks. What did I know about them? Did I know how to do them? Did I know ANYBODY who knew somebody that knew somebody??? Because of the hair-type I was primarily working with at the time this was not at all odd. At the same time, locks were not as commonly seen as they are today. I felt compelled to seek answers for my people. I began to ask around.
A couple of years later... I finally heard of a woman who was doing dreadlocks in my area. I contacted her and introduced myself. She seemed friendly, professional and skilled so I began to send her referrals for the service that my clients had been asking me for for so long.
After less than a year of this, I got smart and asked her if she would allow me to shadow her so that I too could learn this part of our trade. I was thrilled when she said yes.After shadowing with her for a few hours and then practicing on a few people with curly hair textures, I became pretty decent at creating locks in curly hair. Then all of a sudden I was approached by one of my straight-hair clients for this service. Now I was really stumped. I knew how to make curly hair begin to lock, it was easy comparatively speaking. Because the hair is already curly it wants to lock. Straight hair, not so much. I also wanted to help this gentleman begin his spiritual journey on the road to dreadlocks and I knew it could be done, but how?
I had to figure out how to make straight hair act like curly hair and tie itself in knots permanently in strategic sections that are both attractive and secure. No one was doing this professionally and the woman who I learned from had no insights for me at that time. I began to experiment with different methods until I found a few things that worked. It was a lot of trial and error. I saw the people I was working with often while I figured it out. I must commend their diligence and patience, without them I'd never had the unique opportunity to teach myself this process which I enjoy so very much.
I am merely the facilitator who can help design the locks in which a person will nurture. I can help create a situation for the hair to most easily agree to accept this new arrangement and be coerced into locking on its own over time. It is not an overnight process. It is a commitment and spiritual journey. To create the design for a new set of locks brings me great joy, as does helping someone who already has locks to maintain them if needed. I truly serve and honor every individual for whom I create.

After Juliet was a newborn I got her and Lincoln on the same schedule. My kids wake up the same time (thanks to Lincoln), eat at the same time for the most part, and go to bed the same time. With Juliet still being under one. She naps whenever she wants during the day and will eat in-between meals. Getting them on the same schedule is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a mom to keep you sane and make you feel a…Continue

Eating is one thing that I forget to do a lot. As moms we worry about feeding our kids and tending to them, that even remembering to eat ourselves can be a challenge. Our meals usually consist of scraps of food here or there, coffee, and basically anything that can fit in the palm or our hands. But we must remember to eat! When we don't eat, tackling the simplest tasks can feel like a journey. Our blood sugar drops and we become sluggish, irritated,…Continue

After all, choosing your baby's name is an important and personal decision.

With over 30,000 names, you can save your favorite names and find the right one for baby.
There are so many apps available for parents-to-be, especially for the expecting mother to track all things about the baby! Using a select number of these apps based on what will make your pregnancy go smoother – communicating with other moms-to-be, tracking your weight, saving pictures of your baby bump or choosing a name – is customizable based on what's most important to you. These apps give you access to such awesome information, collected and streamlined, plus insight into your growing baby's progress, strange symptoms and staying healthy during pregnancy. With access to online communities, you'll never go it alone. Of course, you will need to expect the unexpected, but hopefully utilizing these resources, right at your fingertips, will help you feel prepared for baby's arrival!

Gee, Who Saw This One Coming?
Is anyone down at city hall or corporation counsel wiping egg off their faces? Or did they have their sense of shame removed along with their spines and balls when they joined up?
Sarcasm and Silliness from a Windy City Cop
The Toronto Police Services board ran an e-mail forum - a question and
answer exchange with the topic being "Community Policing."
One of the civilian email participants posed the following question:
"I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to
harass people and get away with it?"
From the "other side" (the law enforcement side) Sgt Berezowski a cop
a sense of humor (or reality) replied:
"First of all, let me tell you this...it's not easy. In Toronto we
one cop for every 600 people. Only about 60% of those cops are on
duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we do most of our
harassing. The rest are in non harassing departments that do not allow
contact with the day to day innocents. And at any given moment, only
one-fifth of the 60% patrollers are on duty and available for harassing
people while the rest are off duty.
So, roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5,000
When you toss in the commercial, business, and tourist locations that
attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where
a single cop is responsible for harassing 10,000 or more people a day.
Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives
a cop one second to harass a person, and then only three-fourths of a
second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass.
This is not an easy task. To be honest, most cops are not up to this
challenge day in and day out. It is just too tiring. What we do is
utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people that we can
realistically harass.
The tools available to us are as follows:
PHONE: People will call us up and point out things that cause us to
focus on a person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating
his wife" is a code phrase we often use. This means we'll come out
and give some special harassment. Another popular one is, "There's
a guy breaking into a house" or "So and so is standing on his porch
with a gun." The harassment team is then put into action.
CARS: We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They
like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars with no insurance or
no drivers license and the like. It's lots of fun when you pick them
out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light.
Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they
have drugs in the car, are drunk, or have an outstanding warrant.
RUNNERS: Some people take off running just at the sight of a police
officer. Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like
a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass
them for hours.
STATUTES: When we don't have PHONE or CARS and have nothing better to
do, there are actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass
folks. They are called "Statutes"; Criminal Codes, Motor Vehicle Act,
Liquor Act, etc... They all spell out all sorts of things for which
you can really mess with people. After you read the statute, you can
just drive around for awhile until you find someone violating one of
these listed offences and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy
smash a car window. Well, there's this book we have that says that's
not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy. It isa
cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well.
I seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get
with it. Why? Because for the good citizens who pay the tab, we keep
streets safe for
Next time you are in my town, give me a single finger wave. That's
code phrase!
Wow- never heard that one before.
Who was the p.O. taken out of the Medical section in handcuffs by IAD today? I saw a sgt with long hair and beard and an older guy with white hair walk in with inspector hootie and then they walked out with the guy cuffed behind his back, went straight to a waiting unmarked and zipped off into the sunset.
Cracking down on medical roll abuse or what? YIKES!
Get him Birkett!!
What a fucking loser
Birkett better set an example here or his county is going to turn into Engelwood
Holy shit, that's awesome!!!
Hopefully is was some southside dog who got what's coming to him.
Oh well, whoever it is, will probably get thier job back with backpay. What a great department we got, huh?
probably something domestic related. no way a medical abuser will get carted away in cuffs.
It was probably another one of those 025 cops driving drunk running red lights, hitting people or crashing cars.....
That P.O. is in 001 right now. They are holding lineups. He is Hispanic. Don't know what it's about, but it must be some bad shit! They don't hold lineups for Domestics. Or Medical Abuse.
Wow. Now where da goot reverents at. Dey all wundrin how dey gunn gets jeramiah mearadonkey out a dis wunt. It always reverts back to the roots. I wonder if those glendale hts police will get fired now?
GEE, How did mearday get off on his lawsuit arrest before, was it a poor case report made when he was (beaten with flashlites) or just bad police work?
It was comyoonitee presha. He got the beating he deserved.
1:38, you are an idiot.
actually, I thought 1:38 was right on the money....
"Brokeback Mountain," the story of two cowboys grappling with their love for each other, was the top Golden Globe contender Tuesday, picking up seven nominations, including best dramatic picture.
Now, an independent filmmaker, in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department, prepare to release the story of a group of
young male officers (also known as two year wonders) as they agonize between the love for each other and the love for their job:
The members of SOS and TRU !
The members of 008 and 016 !
Special appearance by:
The female officers who went to
Washington, D.C. !!!
Limited Release for the holidays-
General Release in 2006.
Good one !
Thank You. As the Academy likes to say:
For Your Consideration.
What happened to MEARDAY?
I can see it now: his attorney will be on TV claiming that this is obviously a conspiracy that has now spread to other Departments and that his client will never be safe again. We should immediately give him $50 million for pain and suffering and his own island to assure that no more white police officers can harrass this innocent child of god!
Opps...I just threw up on my keyboard...
Any word on the copper getting hooked out medical?Thats a thread we need here of when coppers get stripped or arrested.
A couple of years ago it was the BLACK OSCARS. " Yea you know, like Hallie and my man Denzel took that shit right up from the man." Now this year is the GAY OSCARS. Every cocksucking faggot is gonna be watching the Oscars and Hollywood is going to push this "Oh it's so normal to be gay" bullshit down our throats. (no pun intended).
Don't be homophobic. While I bite my tongue not to laugh, they are so funny. As far as I'm concerned, I wish the overwhelming majority of the male population was gay--not that there's anything wrong with that.
Just think of all the opportunities to satiate your lust with your choice of all those frustrated nubile hotties.
Life is good!
Hey 8:21, relax! You're obviously a misogynistic, homophobic racists, who still lives in your mommie's house. Go live in a cave and let the rest of live in these enlightened times in peace!
FOP and Bella suck. He was the biggest sellout of the FOP inside guys. Bella makes $115,000 a year while Theil, Comito and Murphy hsd to get other jobs. However, the FOP does not want the membership to know what the FOP salaries are? Put the FOP salaries, duty availability, union allowance and all other expeditures in the newsletter. What is the problem?
I thought this thread was about MEARDAY.......Bella beat you in the last election? Why you singling him out? His COCK bigger then yours? I thought so-BITCH.
Your lucky BURKE ain't around anymore...
09:05:01- YOUR A LITTLE BITCH! Why bring those officers into this thread? Your a fucking TROLL. LIKE your mother.
BELLA is GOOD people. A coppers cop.
I'm a lesbian in a man's body. Speaking of gay or lesbian, if you're gay or lesbian, I don't give a shit! I don't know why anyone else does either.
Who was the p.O. taken out of the Medical section in handcuffs by IAD today? I saw a sgt with long hair and beard and an older guy with white hair walk in with inspector hootie and then they walked out with the guy cuffed behind his back, went straight to a waiting unmarked and zipped off into the sunset.
Here's the Story..
Stupid… Stupid…Stupid…
Copper in 013 locks up a guy, takes $200 dollars AND CREDIT CARS (DUHHH!) Then he goes to Target and Toys R' Us and purchases GIFT CARDS with the credit cards that he stole!! (DOUBLE DUH!) AND is seen doing so in FULL FUC%ING UNIFORM!!! .. He is now in Central Detention Lockup awaiting CBC.
Anyone willing to give this guy a benefit?? Give 'em some gift cards from Joe Roddy, Attorney at Law.
BELLA is GOOD people. A coppers cop.
Nigga please! That fat fuck is going to drop from a heart attack anyday now and the only ones grieving him will be his minions in 025 who still worship the ground he walks on.
Your a fucking asshole. Why would you wish a heart attack on anyone?
At least Mearday will go to JAIL for a long time in DuPage County. Unlike Cook County, they administer Justice in a swift and timely manner. And the Justice dealt is not meant to coddle the criminals. No more probation for you Jeremiah.
CLTV News related that the P.O. taken out in handcuffs from the medical section is an 11 yr veteran, assigned to the wagon in 013. He allegedly took cash and credit cards from an arrestee and then went Christmas shopping throughout the city-spending nearly $1600.00.He also was captured on surveillance video making the purchases. Rumor is other officers may be involved also. Sad..because it gives all hard working 013 district coppers a black eye!
Rumor is other officers may be involved also.....
No, dumbass from 013 did it all on his own. Can't say the same for the 018th district guy.
Theres a hard working copper in 013??? hmmmmm....
Nope, the neighborhood got cleaned up from the shithole that it was all on its own. Moron.
Are Meardays lawyers still waiting for their money????
yuppies and economics cleaned up a good portion of 013.
Sir Donkey, I think I love you.
Mr. Ed
Actually I cleaned-up most of 013!
It's been a while since someone cut on TRU, SOS and 016. Good to know we still have assholes on here. Loser.
Murphy got fucked....
Theil and Comido, poor dicisions and/or poor paper. Definitely poor supervisors.
but, Murphy got fucked.
Theil and Comido....should have paid the toll!

A jailed Pussy Riot member's husband departing the town of Partsa after being denied permission to see his wife.

PARTSA, Mordovia Republic — Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the women in the Pussy Riot punk band serving two-year prison sentences should be set free, while a band member's husband tried to visit his wife in jail in the Mordovia republic.
Medvedev said Friday that he detested Pussy Riot's performance of a "punk prayer" at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral during which they pleaded with the Virgin Mary for deliverance from President Vladimir Putin.
But Medvedev added the women have been in prison long enough and should be released.
He made a similar statement before October's appeal hearings, fueling speculation about their possible release.
Three members of the band were convicted on hooliganism charges in August. One of them, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was released on appeal last month, but the other two, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, were sent to prison camps to serve their sentences.
Also Friday, Tolokonnikova's husband, Pyotr Verzilov, was turned away by authorities when he tried to visit her at a prison camp in the village of Partsa in Mordovia, a region known for the gulag camps filled with tens of thousands of inmates in the 1930s.
He had brought paperwork regarding the ongoing legal drama of the Pussy Riot trial that should have enabled him to meet his wife on prison grounds. But he was told that she remains in quarantine for several more days.
Tolokonnikova and a team of lawyers are planning an appeal to a regional court, requesting that her sentence be put off until the couple's daughter, 4-year-old Gera, is 14, Verzilov said.
Verzilov said his wife has been treated well by prison officials, but he attributed that to the publicity stirred up by the trial.
"All that would be needed here would be an order from someone high-placed in Moscow who'd say, 'Press her, make her feel the real Russian prison,'" Verzilov said. "People follow the instructions they are given from the top."
The women are woken up at 6:30 a.m., and their workday begins at 7:30 a.m. and continues for eight hours by law, but sometimes more. Most of the women in Tolokonnikova's prison work in the sewing industry, where they make clothes for Russia's special and civil services.
Tolokonnikova has not yet begun working mandatory shifts, but was offered the chance to break some asphalt within the prison compound a week ago, a task she undertook with fervor after being cooped up for too long, Verzilov said.
Relatives are allowed to visit the women inside the prison for several hours, six times a year. Conjugal visits, for three days, are permitted four times per year. With the right stack of paperwork, prisoners are allowed food, books, medicine and clothes — in black, the uniform of the prison — from relatives and friends.
Meanwhile, the country's main patent agency refused to register the words "Pussy Riot" as a trademark, Rospatent said Friday. The agency did not provide any details on why the request was turned down.
The registration request came from a company that belongs to the wife of the band's lawyer, Mark Feigin. Feigin tweeted that he will try to register the trademark in the West.

Bringing in the Catch at Puerto Lopez
By David Adler
14 Nov 2013
Puerto Lopez is a rather nondescript and ramshackle small town set in a curving bay on Ecuador's Pacific Coast. Due to a long beach and fine offshore whale watching, the town in recent years has increasingly become a popular destination for both Ecuadoran and foreign tourists. Despite the influx of outsiders, however, the local fishermen continue to pursue their livelihood much as they have always done. Every day they rise early to head seaward in search of fish. Between 7 and 10 AM, when Puerto Lopez' visitors are just starting their day, the fishermen return from the sea, unload their catch, haul it ashore for counting and weighing, and then load it onto motor vehicles for later distribution elsewhere. The town's visitors watch and photograph this activity as the local fishermen go about their business. Seeming to enjoy the attention, some fishermen proudly show off their haul to interested observers. This drama is reenacted every day and will likely continue into the foreseeable future, regardless of any other changes that might occur in Puerto Lopez.

According to the Dow Jones news, more financial institutions than originally disclosed could be at risk of attack. Newsday reported that an Al Qaeda operative has told British intelligence that the group's target date is for early September. The operative was described as "credible" by British intelligence and told his interrogators that the attack would take place 60 days before the presidential election.
In related terror news, the New York Times reports that much of the intelligence that led up to the terror alert yesterday was nearly four years old in some cases, adding that it was possible that information collected might not be considered material.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the Iraqis could soon have a greater fear than war, "reality TV." Privately held Iraqi TV, Al Sharqiya, will be airing a "This Old House" meets Operation Iraqi cleanup called "Materials and Labor" which will show home improvement on homes destroyed by bombings and acts of war which are owned by poor people.
The New York Post reports that the NY Yankees and the Boston Redsox could be putting their rivalry and banter aside, at least for negotiation purposes. The Yankees's YES network and the Red Sox's New England Sports Network (NESN) are in merger talks to create a regional network that would broadcast both games for the Yankees and Red Sox.
Have a great day.

Blowboy, How it all Began
It all started innocently enough one day while me and two friends, Tom and Harry were playing outside in Harry's yard. I don't remember how the subject came up but we were walking around talking about blow jobs that day and stories we heard about so and so blew so and so. I had been thinking about that subject during this time and wanted to experience it. I don't think I had thought about getting one from another male a this point but it could be. I had heard of girls who were giving them and wanted some of that action. I was aroused from the talk and had a hard on the whole time. We all were and so after while Tom says to me that if I wanted to blow him he'd blow me and I'm like no way! Tom was decently built and lean with muscular thighs. He played little league and had a bicycle paper route which kept his legs pretty defined.
So as we are walking around he keeps working on me hard and I'm starting to think about it you know, getting a blow job. I kept eying the crotch of his jeans from time to time and wondered what it would be like to do it but in the back of my mind was this fear. What if I do this and it gets around. But the temptation of getting blown in return is winning the battle over fear. Rumor was going around about a couple other boys in school who were caught or told on and it wasn't good for them. They were being called queer. I said to Tom what about Harry because I don't want no one to know about this you know? So Harry says, I won't tell no one and Tom says "I won't tell either, besides I swear I'll do it to you too. So I'm thinking about doing it and after agonizing about for some time I say OK, you go first and Tom says no you go first, I swear I'll do it. The temptation is really getting to me by now and he knows just what to say to talk me into it. I asked so where we gonna do it? In Harry's basement Tom says. So off we go down into Harry's basement. You go first I plead once more but Tom is adamant I do it first.
We get down there and we agree that Harry stay in one part and Tom and I go to another part so he can't actually witness it. I mean its going to be humiliating enough to kneel in front of him and take his penis in my mouth and suck on it let alone let someone watch me do it. I'm nervous as hell because I don't want to be labeled as a queer. The butterflies are kicking in. Tom and I go into another room and shut the door. There we were all alone. We walk to a spot and Tom turns toward me. Get on your knees, he tells me with a commanding tone. Without hesitation I kneel submissively in front of him and sit back on my heels. From my knees I watch as he unzips his fly, hooks his thumb in the waist band of his briefs pulling them down. Tom then pulls his erect cock out of his pants and holds it down so its pointing right at my mouth. I'm looking at the head just an inch from my mouth. I look at the shaft as it goes back and joins onto his pubic area. Am I really going to do this I thought. Then I look up at Tom, he is looking down at me. I feel humiliated and submissive but at the same time I feel like I want to do this. Suck it he says in the same commanding voice. Its so hard to take it in my mouth I just sit there. C'mon he says I'll do you next. I'm thinking, what if this gets out. So I'm looking at it so close to my mouth that finally I close my eyes and take him into my mouth and start sucking.
I can't describe all the feelings going through me, humiliation, embarrassment, erotica but I was aroused myself. My cock was as hard as its ever been. I look up at him while I'm sucking him and he's watching me. Oohh that feels so good he says. I look into his fly and I see his white briefs so close to my nose. I taste the flesh of his penis, the saltines of him and his scent fills my nostrils. I like it. Ohh that feels good he says over again. I look straight into his jeans at his pubic area as I continue sucking him for several minutes and back up at him to see him watching me suck on his cock. How long you gonna do this? I come off him and say, as long as you want. I don't know why I said it but I did. Keep doin it then he commanded as he gestured toward his erect penis. So I take him in my mouth again and continue blowing him. Oohh that feels so good he says again my eyes looking at him. I don't know how long I continued blowing him but its like I didn't want to stop, something made me keep sucking when he said again, how long you gonna do this? I came off him again and said, as long as you want. Keep doin it then" he commanded again as he gestured toward his cock.
For the first time I notice my saliva glistening on his shaft. The erotica of knowing he was in my mouth starting to hit me. I had no idea how it was going to taste but I was actually starting to like him in my mouth. So I just continued blowing him until we agreed that it was his turn and we switched positions. Tom got down on his knees and pretended like he was going to blow me but then he tricked me and chickened out. I was so mad. I felt betrayed. Humiliated. My worst fears were realized as unknown to me and Tom, Harry snuck in and was peeking through a crack in the door and watched the whole thing. He told some kids at school the next day. Word soon got around and I did my best to refute the rumors but the damage was done. Tom said he did too but I don't know. I can't say the event didn't affect our relationship but Tom and Harry and I remained friends afterward. But this was just the beginning of many encounters between me and Tom.
