Update: Killeen man facing capital murder charges in fatal SXSW crash
AUSTIN — A suspect who police say killed two people when he mowed down a festival crowd at Thursday's South by Southwest festival has been identified as a 21-year-old Killeen man.
Rashad Charjuan Owens is expected to be charged with two counts of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle, according to a police source.
Owens is suspected of driving drunk and has been booked but not yet formally charged.
He remained in police custody while being treated at a local hospital and was released to officers, officials said.
Two festival-goers, including a woman from Austin and a man from The Netherlands, were killed and 23 more were injured early Thursday after the suspected drunken driver rammed through a police barricade in downtown Austin.
According to reports, Owens fled from police after an attempted traffic stop at a gas station about three blocks from where the crowd was standing outside a music venue.
Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell said this is the first time in its 27 years that SXSW has had an incident of this kind., calling it "tragic."
Roland Swenson of SXSW said those involved with the organization are stunned and deeply moved by the event. He said they plan to carry on with scheduled daytime events at the Austin Convention Center to keep the tens of thousands of participants from outside the city occupied.
He said they would like to "just go home" and absorb the shock of "this horrific event" but that they believe their best use is to continue to operate.
Acevedo expressed support for carrying on.
"If you were to cancel events, it would be a victory for evil," he said.
Asked if there were concerns about the barricades, Acevedo said they will always assess such situations but "an individual that's willing to drive down a street mowing people down is either going to crash through a barricade or go around a barricade."
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo described a large crowd on the street, in line for a concert at The Mohawk on 10th and Red River Street. Many festival attendees also had just left another show at nearby Stubb's minutes before.
Hundreds of pedestrians were still on the street at the time, as rapper Tyler the Creator was due to perform. Downtown Austin is packed during South by Southwest, as more than 2,000 bands are registered for the annual festival. Much of Red River Street is closed to traffic because some of the city's most popular venues line the street.
Legendary California-based punk rock band X was playing inside The Mohawk at the time of the incident, and the club was filled to capacity. Because of the loud music, those inside the club were unaware of the disaster that occurred outside, a few feet away.
The incident, which lasted for just a minute, began at 12:30 a.m. when an APD officer attempted to pull over a suspected drunken driver into a downtown gas station, just off Interstate 35, Acevedo said. The suspect fled, weaving through traffic at the gas station, then drove the wrong way down a one-way street, Ninth Street, before turning onto a crowded Red River Street. An officer at the Red River barricade had to jump out of the way.
The suspect continued north, through two blocks of pedestrian traffic, before hitting the moped, a taxi, a parked van, and running into a curb, according to Acevedo. The driver attempted to run away when a police officer shocked him with a stun gun.

Consensus Report
The Use and Storage of Methyl Isocyanate at Bayer CropScience (2012)Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The use of hazardous chemicals such as methyl isocyanate can be a significant concern to the residents of communities adjacent to chemical facilities, but is often an integral, necessary part of the chemical manufacturing process. In order to ensure that chemical manufacturing takes place in a manner that is safe for workers, members of the local community, and the environment, the philosophy of inherently safer processing can be used to eliminate or reduce the hazards associated with chemical processing. However, the concepts of inherently safer process analysis have not yet been adopted in all chemical manufacturing plants. This report develops a framework to guide plant managers through the process of developing an inherently safer chemical manufacturing system.
Key Messages
- Although claimed to be an integral process safety management component, inherent safety considerations are incorporated into Bayer's process safety management efforts in an implicit manner that is dependent on the knowledge base of the individual facilitating the particular activity (e.g. process hazard analysis).
- Bayer and its predecessors did seek to reduce risks associated with MIC, and those efforts did incorporate some aspects of risk reduction associated with inherently safer process principles. However, Bayer did not make statements or provide documentation indicating that it had engaged in a systematic effort to incorporate inherently safer processes into the decision making process.
- Bayer and its predecessors evaluated trade-offs among the alternatives, but while analysis provides a very useful starting point for a comparison of technologies, it excludes factors that may be important in the decision, from the perspective of both the company and the community.
- Bayer CropScience did perform Process Safety assessments, however, Bayer and the legacy companies did not perform systematic and complete inherently safer process assessments on the processes for manufacturing MIC or the carbamate pesticides at the Institute site. Bayer and the previous owners performed hazard and safety assessments and made business decisions that resulted in MIC inventory reduction, elimination of aboveground MIC storage, and adoption of various passive, active and procedural safety measures. However, these assessments did not incorporate in an explicit and structured manner, the principles of minimization, substitution, moderation and simplification. The legacy owners identified possible alternative methods that could have resulted in a reduction in MIC production and inventory, but determined that limitations of technology, product purity, cost, and other issues prohibited their implementation.
- Inherently safer process assessments can be a valuable component of process safety management. However, the view of what constitutes an inherently safer process varies among professionals, so the chemical industry lacks a common understanding and set of practice protocols for identifying safer processes.
- Consistent application of inherently safer process strategies by a company has the potential to decrease the required scope of organizational emergency preparedness programs by reducing the size of the vulnerable zones around its facilities. Such reductions are achieved by reducing the toxicity of the chemicals being used or produced, the quantity of the chemicals being stored, and the conditions under which they are being stored.
- As currently performed, a potential concern with using inherently safer process analysis is that it may become focused too narrowly, and as a consequence, may overlook certain outcomes. Even when multiple outcomes are recognized, they may be inappropriately weighted.
- The committee recommends that the Chemical Safety Board or other appropriate entity convene a working group to chart a plan for incorporating decision theory frameworks into inherently safer process assessments. The working group should include experts in chemical engineering, inherently safer process design, decision sciences, negotiations, and other relevant disciplines. The working group should identify obstacles to employing methods from the decision sciences in process safety assessments. It should identify options for tailoring these methods to the chemical process industry and incentives that would encourage their use.
- The principles of inherently safer process assessment can be used to good effect in conducting an incident investigation when the objective is the prevention of potential incidents having similar fundamental, underlying (root) causes.

We're beginning to see more stylish hybrids and electric cars, diminishing memories of golf cart-style EVs from years past. (The Tesla Roadster probably marked the official death of that perception.) Today, Lexus has unveiled photos of its LF-Ch compact hybrid concept ahead of the car's official debut September 15th at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
It looks like a coupe at first glance, but that's an illusion due to the missing rear door handles and blackened B-pillar. It's actually a five-door hatch that takes some cues from the 2010 revamp of the five-door Mazda 3.
Under the hood, the LF-Ch employs the same hybrid powertrain as the production HS250h sedan. Inside, the car features Lexus' Remote Touch controller with user-adjustable haptic feedback, letting the driver and front passenger control the navigation, audio, and climate systems. Also, the seats light up, and rear passengers can dock an iPhone in the headrests.

Nielsen 2012: social media comes of age
Turn that off and talk to somebody! Nielsen's 2012 report on the state of the media finds social media have come of age. Other findings: it's still a FB world, although Pinterest was a breakout star, and we collectively spent 121 billion minutes on social media in July 2012, up 37 percent from July 2011.
"Consumers continue to spend more time on social networks than on any other category of sites—roughly 20 percent of their total time online via personal computer (PC), and 30 percent of total time online via mobile."
Facebook remains the most-visited social network in the U.S. via PC (152.2 million visitors), mobile apps (78.4 million users) and mobile web (74.3 million visitors), and is multiple times the size of the next largest social site across each platform. TV is becoming a more instant and shared experience, and attitudes toward advertising on social media are "still evolving." Nielsen says one-third of users find ads on social networking sites more annoying than other types of advertising. And word-of-mouth is now global, empowering consumers. See the highlights of the 2012 Nielsen Social Media Report.

|Chapter XLV. The Various Classes of Prophets
|Next »
AFTER having explained prophecy in accordance with reason and Scripture, I must now describe the different degrees of prophecy from these two points of view. Not all the degrees of prophecy which I will enumerate qualify a person for the office of a prophet. The first and the second degrees are only steps leading to prophecy, and a person possessing either of these two degrees does not belong to the class of prophets whose merits we have been discussing. When such a person is occasionally called prophet, the term is used in a wider sense, and is applied to him because he is almost a prophet. You must not be misled by the fact that according to the books of the Prophets, a certain prophet, after having been inspired with one kind of prophecy, is reported to have received prophecy in another form. For it is possible for a prophet to prophesy at one time in the form of one of the degrees which I am about to enumerate, and at another time in another form. In the same manner, as the prophet does not prophesy continuously, but is inspired at one time and not at another, so he may at one time prophesy in the form of a higher degree, and at another time in that of a lower degree; it may happen that the highest degree is reached by a prophet only once in his lifetime, and afterwards remains inaccessible to him, or that a prophet remains below the highest degree until he entirely loses the faculty: for ordinary prophets must cease to prophesy a shorter or longer period before their death. Comp. "And the word of the Lord ceased from Jeremiah" (Ezra i. 1); "And these are the last words of David" (2 Sam. xxiii. 1). From these instances it can be inferred that the same is the case with all prophets. After this introduction and explanation, I will begin to enumerate the degrees of prophecy to which I have referred above.
(1) The first degree of prophecy consists in the divine assistance which is given to a person, and induces and encourages him to do something good and grand, e.g., to deliver a congregation of good men from the hands of evildoers; to save one noble person, or to bring happiness to a large number of people; he finds in himself the cause that moves and urges him to this deed. This degree of divine influence is called "the spirit of the Lord"; and of the person who is under that influence we say that the spirit of the Lord came upon him, clothed him, or rested upon him, or the Lord was with him, and the like. All the judges of Israel possessed this degree, for the following general statement is made concerning them — "The Lord raised up judges for them; and the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them" (Judges ii. 18). Also all the noble chiefs of Israel belonged to this class. The same is distinctly stated concerning some of the judges and the kings: — "The spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah" (ibid. xi. 29); of Samson it is said, "The spirit of the Lord came upon him" (ibid. xiv. 19); "And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard those words" (1 Sam. xi. 6). When Amasa was moved by the holy spirit to assist David, "A spirit clothed Amasa, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David," etc.(1 Chron. xii. 18). This faculty was always possessed by Moses from the time he had attained the age of manhood; it moved him to slay the Egyptian, and to prevent evil from the two men that quarrelled; it was so strong that, after he had fled from Egypt out of fear, and arrived in Midian, a trembling stranger, he could not restrain himself from interfering when he saw wrong being done; he could not bear it. Comp. "And Moses rose and saved them" (Exod. ii. 17). David likewise was filled with this spirit, when he was anointed with the oil of anointing. Comp. "And the spirit of God came upon David from that day and upward" (1 Sam. xvi. 13). He thus conquered the lion and the bear and the Philistine, and accomplished similar tasks, by this very spirit. This faculty did not cause any of the above-named persons to speak on a certain subject, for it only aims at encouraging the person who possesses it to action; it does not encourage him to do everything, but only to help either a distinguished man or a whole congregation when oppressed, or to do something that leads to that end. Just as not an who have a true dream are prophets, so it cannot be said of every one who is assisted in a certain undertaking, as in the acquisition of property, or of some other personal advantage, that the spirit of the Lord came upon him, or that the Lord was with him, or that he performed his actions by the holy spirit. We only apply such phrases to those who have accomplished something very good and grand, or something that leads to that end: e.g., the success of Joseph in the house of the Egyptian, which was the first cause leading evidently to great events that occurred subsequently.
(2) The second degree is this: A person feels as if something came upon him, and as if he had received a new power that encourages him to speak. He treats of science, or composes hymns, exhorts his fellow-men, discusses political and theological problems; all this he does while awake, and in the full possession of his senses. Such a person is said to speak by the holy spirit. David composed the Psalms, and Solomon the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon by this spirit; also Daniel, Job, Chronicles, and the rest of the Hagiographa were written in this holy spirit; therefore they are called ketubim (Writings, or Written), i.e., written by men inspired by the holy spirit. Our Sages mention this expressly concerning the Book of Esther. In reference to such holy spirit, David says: "The spirit of the Lord spoke in me, and his word is on my tongue" (2 Sam. xxiii. 2); i.e., the spirit of the Lord caused him to utter these words. This class includes the seventy elders of whom it is said, "And it came to pass when the spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, and did not cease" (Num. xi. 25); also Eldad and Medad (ibid. ver. 26); furthermore, every high priest that inquired [of God] by the Urim and Tummim; on whom, as our Sages say, the divine glory rested, and who spoke by the holy spirit; Yabaziel, son of Zechariah, belongs likewise to this class. Comp. "The spirit of the Lord came upon him in the midst of the assembly, and he said, Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, thus saith the Lord unto you," etc. (2 Chron. xx. 14, 15); also Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. Comp. "And he stood above the people and said unto them, Thus saith God" (ibid. xxiv. 20); furthermore, Azariah, son of Oded; comp. "And Azariah, son of Oded, when the spirit of the Lord came upon him, went forth before Asa," etc. (ibid. xv. 1, 2); and all who acted under similar circumstances. You must know that Balaam likewise belonged to this class, when he was good; this is indicated by the words, "And God put a word in the mouth of Balaam" (Num. xxiii. 5), i.e., Balaam spoke by divine inspiration; he therefore says of himself, "Who heareth the words of God," etc. (ibid. xxiv. 4). We must especially point out that David, Solomon, and Daniel belonged to this class, and not to the class of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nathan the prophet, Elijah the Shilonite, and those like them. For David, Solomon, and Daniel spoke and wrote inspired by the holy spirit, and when David says, "The God of Israel spoke and said unto me, the rock of Israel" (2 Sam. xxiii. 3), he meant to say that God promised him happiness through a prophet, through Nathan or another prophet. The phrase must here be interpreted in the same manner as in the following passages, "And God said to her" (Gen. xxv. 26); "And God said unto Solomon, Because this hath been in thy heart, and thou hast not kept my covenant," etc. (1 Kings xi. 11). The latter passage undoubtedly contains a prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, or another prophet, who foretold Solomon that evil would befall him. The passage, "God appeared to Solomon at Gibeon in a dream by night, and God said" (ibid. iii. 5), does not contain a real prophecy, such as is introduced by the words "The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying" (Gen. xv. 1) or, "And God said to Israel in the visions of the night" (ibid. xlvi. 2), or such as the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah contain; in all these cases the prophets, though receiving the prophecy in a prophetic dream, are told that it is a prophecy, and that they have received prophetic inspiration. But in the case of Solomon, the account concludes, "And Solomon awoke, and behold it was a dream" (1 Kings iii. 15); and in the account of the second divine appearance, it is said, "And God appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared to him at Gibeon" (ibid. ix. 2); it was evidently a dream. This kind of prophecy is a degree below that of which Scripture says, "In a dream I will speak to him" (Num. xii. 6). When prophets are inspired in a dream, they by no means call this a dream, although the prophecy reached them in a dream, but declare it decidedly to be a prophecy. Thus Jacob, our father, when awaking from a prophetic dream, did not say it was a dream, but declared, "Surely there is the Lord in this place," etc. (Gen. xxviii. 16); "God the Almighty appeared to me in Luz, in the land of Canaan" (ibid. xlviii. 3), expressing thereby that it was a prophecy. But in reference to Solomon we read; — "And Solomon awoke, and behold it was a dream" (1 Kings iii. 15). Similarly Daniel declares that he had a dream; although he sees an angel and hears his word, he speaks of the event as of a dream; even when he had received the information [concerning the dreams of Nebukadnezzar], he speaks of it in the following manner — "Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision" (Dan. ii. 19). On other occasions it is said, "He wrote down the dream"; " I saw in the visions by night," etc.;" And the visions of my head confused me" (Dan. vii. 1, 2, 15); "I was surprised at the vision, and none noticed it" (ibid. viii. 27). There is no doubt that this is one degree below that form of prophecy to which the words, "In a dream I will speak to him," are applied. For this reason the nation desired to place the book of Daniel among the Hagiographa, and not among the Prophets. I have, therefore, pointed out to you, that the prophecy revealed to Daniel and Solomon, although they saw an angel in the dream, was not considered by them as a perfect prophecy, but as a dream containing correct information. They belonged to the class of men that spoke, inspired by the ruaḥ ha-kodesh," the holy spirit." Also in the order of the holy writings, no distinction is made between the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Psalms, Ruth, and Esther; they are all written by divine inspiration. The authors of all these books are called prophets in the more general sense of the term.
(3) The third class is the lowest [class of actual prophets, i.e.] of those who introduce their speech by the phrase, "And the word of the Lord came unto me," or a similar phrase. The prophet sees an allegory in a dream-under those conditions which we have mentioned when speaking of real prophecy — and in the prophetic dream itself the allegory is interpreted. Such are most of the allegories of Zechariah.
(4) The prophet hears in a prophetic dream something clearly and distinctly, but does not see the speaker. This was the case with Samuel in the beginning of his prophetic mission, as has been explained (chap. xliv.).
(5) A person addresses the prophet in a dream, as was the case in some of the prophecies of Ezekiel. Comp. "And the man spake unto me, Son of man," etc. (Ezek. xl. 4).
(6) An angel speaks to him in a dream; this applies to most of the prophets: e.g., "And an angel of God said to me in a dream of night" (Gen. xxxi. 11).
(7) In a prophetic dream it appears to the prophet as if God spoke to him. Thus Isaiah says, "And I saw the Lord, and I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" (Isa. vi. 1, 8). Micaiah, son of Imla, said likewise, "I saw the Lord" (1 Kings xxii. 19).
(8) Something presents itself to the prophet in a prophetic vision; he sees allegorical figures, such as were seen by Abraham in the vision "between the pieces" (Gen. xv. 9, 10); for it was in a vision by daytime, as is distinctly stated.
(9) The prophet hears words in a prophetic vision; as, e.g., is said in reference to Abraham, "And behold, the word came to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir" (ibid. xv. 4).
(10) The prophet sees a man that speaks to him in a prophetic vision; e.g., Abraham in the plain of Mamre (ibid. xviii. 1), and Joshua in Jericho (Josh. v. 13).
(11) He sees an angel that speaks to him in the vision, as was the case when Abraham was addressed by an angel at the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen. xxii. 15). This I hold to be — if we except Moses — the highest degree a prophet can attain according to Scripture, provided he has, as reason demands, his rational faculties fully developed. But it appears to me improbable that a prophet should be able to perceive in a prophetic vision God speaking to him; the action of the imaginative faculty does not go so far, and therefore we do not notice this in the case of the ordinary prophets: Scripture says expressly, "In a vision I will make myself known, in a dream I will speak to him"; the speaking is here connected with dream, the influence and the action of the intellect is connected with vision; comp. "In a vision I will make myself known to him" (etvadda', hitpael of yada', to know" but it is not said here that in a vision anything is heard from God. When I, therefore, met with statements in Scripture that a prophet heard words spoken to him, and that this took place in a vision, it occurred to me that the case in which God appears to address the prophet seems to be the only difference between a vision and a dream, according to the literal sense of the Scriptural text. But it is possible to explain the passages in which a prophet is reported to have heard in the course of a vision words spoken to him, in the following manner: at first he has had a vision, but subsequently he fell into a deep sleep, and the vision was changed into a dream. Thus we explained the words, "And a deep deep fell upon Abram" (Gen. xv. 12); and our Sages remark thereon, "This was a deep sleep of prophecy." According to this explanation, it is only in a dream that the prophet can hear words addressed to him; it makes no difference in what manner words are spoken. Scripture supports this theory, "In a dream I will speak to him." But in a prophetic vision only allegories are perceived, or rational truths are obtained, that lead to some knowledge in science, such as can be arrived at by reasoning. This is the meaning of the words, "In a vision I will make myself known unto him." According to this second explanation, the degrees of prophecy are reduced to eight, the highest of them being the prophetic vision, including all kinds of vision, even the case in which a man appears to address the prophet, as has been mentioned. You will perhaps ask this question: among the different degrees of prophecy there is one in which prophets, e.g., Isaiah, Micaiah, appear to hear God addressing them; how can this be reconciled with the principle that all prophets are prophetically addressed through an angel, except Moses our Teacher, in reference to whom Scripture says, "Mouth to mouth I speak to him" (Num. xii. 8)? I answer, this is really the case, the medium here being the imaginative faculty that hears in a prophetic dream God speaking; but Moses heard the voice addressing him "from above the covering of the ark from between the two cherubim" (Exod. xxv. 22) without the medium of the imaginative faculty. In Mishne-torah we have given the characteristics of this kind of prophecy, and explained the meaning of the phrases, "Mouth to mouth I speak to him"; "As man speaketh to his neighbour" (Exod. xxxiii. 11), and the like. Study it there, and I need not repeat what has already been said.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you sit at home tonight and wonder if Steve Jobs really is Big Brother. My goodness, it's true! He appears on giant screens a lot! And he wears black! And people are slavishly devoted to him! And he's really into Band of Horses! Just like Big Brother was. Let this be a warning to you, America. LET'S GO!
ARE WE THERE YET? – 9:00PM (TBS) Ice Cube gets his Tyler Perry on as the executive producer of this apparently bland sitcom (starring Terry Crews because Mike Epps was busy) based on his equally bland film of the same name. It's an odd dichotomy TBS is going to have to address at some point next fall. On the one hand, they're home to these vanilla sitcoms run by Cube, Tyler Perry, and Bill Engvall. But come November, they'll also be home to hipster comedy god Conan O'Brien. I guess Comedy Central has also pulled off this kind of eclectic comedy mix. We'll see if TBS can do likewise. ANTICIPATION: JOKES ABOUT BIG BUTTS!
PIXAR SHORT FILMS – 8:00PM (ABC Family) If you're like me, you like Pixar movies but wish to the high heavens they didn't also try so hard to make you weep like a schoolgirl. Well, there's an antidote to the frustrating emotional heft of the studio's feature movies, and that would be their short films. They're all here tonight in one very cool two-hour special. You get goofy birds on wires, tin toys, lamps playing with balls, and lots more stuff that doesn't involve a very old man losing his beloved wife ten minutes in. Oh, come on, man. HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO CRY AT THAT, YOU MANIPULATIVE TWERPS? ANTICIPATION: COOL!
TODDLERS AND TIARAS – 10:00PM (TLC) It's the season premiere of the TLC show about kiddie beauty pageant entrants, designed specifically to make you feel better about your own shortcomings as a parent. Sure, I yelled at my kid today. But did I drag her to Orlando and force her to wear pumps? Nope. Advantage: Me. ANTICIPATION: CREEPY!
HALF PINT BRAWLERS – 11:00PM (Spike) It's midgets fighting. I don't really need to elaborate. ANTICIPATION: MIDGETS FIGHTING!
TOP CHEF MASTERS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal Network) Tonight, the masters cook for the Groundling improv troupe, the group that spawned Will Ferrell and countless other Saturday Night Live vets. Susur will know none of those people, and that's a good thing. I like my chef so focused, he couldn't even tell you who the President is right now. THAT is how much he obsesses over warm abalone salad. I want that dude cooking for me. ANTICIPATION: HOT AND SPICY!

Aury Cruz holds record of most points in a Pan Am Cup
Mexico City, México, June 10, 2014 –Aury Cruz of Puerto Rico has been the most prolific scorer in a single edition of Women's Pan American Cup with the 151 points the amassed in the 2009 event held in Miami, Florida.
The veteran Cruz also holds the all-time record of games with 20 or more points scored with 11, followed by countrywomen Karina Ocasio and Dominican Republic's Bethania De la Cruz each with 8. United States' Nancy Metcalf, Trinidad and Tobago's Krystle Esdelle and Costa Rica's Verania Willis have surpassed the 20-point barrier seven times.
Some of the records of the annual event were announced on Tuesday by Roosevelt Comarazamy, NORCECA Press Director, on the eve of the start of the actions at Juan de la Barrera Coliseum and Carlos Martínez Balmori Multi-Sport Hall in Mexico City and Pachuca, respectively, of the XIII Women's Pan American Cup.
Brazilian Thaisa Meneses holds the all-time mark of most blocks with the 33 she scored in 2011 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico while Mexican Ana Mercado owns the record of most serving aces with 25 in 2005 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Dominicans Sidarka Nuñez and Cindy Rondon have the record of most points and most blocks in a single game.
The lefty Nuñez recorded 37 points against United States on May 30, 2008 in Tijuana, Mexico. The same year Rondon finished with 13 blocks against Brazil on June 7.
The record of most aces in a match belongs to USA's Nicole Brannagh who fired 9 aces against Puerto Rico on June 27, 2002 at the inaugural event in Tijuana.
On the other hand, Dominican Republic team holds the record of most blocks by a team in a single match with 23 against Puerto Rico on June 27, 2007 in Colima, Mexico while Cuba has the mark of most serving aces with 19 against Barbados on June 11, 2005 in Santo Domingo.
The highest scoring set in the history of the event was the 36-34 first set won by Puerto Rico against Dominican Republic on July 3, 2009 in Miami. It was part of the highest ever scoring match won by the Dominicans (34-36, 22-25, 25-23, 25-21, 15-9) with the two teams totaling 235 points.
United States and Dominican Republic are the countries with most victories in the twelve previous events with a total of 60. Brazil and Cuba are next with 55 and 54, respectively.
Ten of the 60 victories of United States have been recorded against Puerto Rico for the most dominance of a team over an opponent.
Dominican Republic holds 8-0 win-loss records against both Puerto Rico and Mexico and leads 7-0 the head-to-head contests with Canada. Meanwhile, Cuba has defeated the Dominican Republic in 8 of 10 matches.

home folks never gets old for Fire veteran C.J. Brown,
while rookie Kwame Watson-Siriboe can't wait to experience it for the first
The Fire begin their fifth Toyota Park season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against San Jose. It's their first home game since last November's shootout loss to Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference title game.
"It's always exciting to be part of a home opener, and the atmosphere is amazing," said Brown, who has been a part of 12 previous Fire home openers in venues ranging from old and new Soldier Field, Naperville's Cardinal Stadium and Toyota Park.
"We want to show the fans what the coach has been trying to teach us."

The campaign to see former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) released from jail on medical parole received a shot in the arm earlier this week with the arrival in Taiwan of former US attorney-general Ramsey Clark, who warned President Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) administration that it risked being regarded as a "murderer" if it allowed Chen's health to continue to deteriorate while in prison.
For months now, a small number of people within the pan-green camp have argued that Chen's jail conditions are detrimental to his health, while others maintain that his incarceration for corruption is purely the result of political repression by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). Here is not the place to debate the merits of those arguments. Suffice it to say that the complexity of the case, not to mention its future implications, requires minds both sober and fair.
Having failed to rally a sufficiently large segment of Taiwanese society to the cause, which until recently had allowed the administration to downplay the matter, some Chen supporters have turned to the US for help, a gambit that resulted in a visit by medical experts (who unsurprisingly determined that Chen's condition was deteriorating) and a handful of impassioned — and sometimes hyperbolic — op-eds that went largely ignored.
Granted, major human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch seem to have forgotten about Taiwan, attributing this to a lack of resources and, they argue, the much worse human rights violations that occur elsewhere. This disinterest has forced Taiwanese activists, who use US pressure on the Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國) regime in the 1980s as a precedent for positive interventionism, to look elsewhere for support.
The problem, both for the activists and ultimately for Chen, is that the support they have managed to garner comes from rather dubious sources, so much so that rather than help the cause, it risks undermining the very legitimacy of their purpose. Clark, unfortunately, is a perfect example of this. It is one thing to seek outside help; it's another to do so regardless of the cost to one's integrity.
The issue with Clark is that he brings along baggage that harms his credibility as a human rights defender. There is no denying that he got off to a good start in 1980 when he flew here to bring international attention to the situation in Taiwan following the Kaohsiung Incident, a move that, years later, some Taiwanese dissidents of the time say probably saved their lives. Clark's odd turn, and what ultimately harms his image, occurred decades later in his career, when he decided to side with the likes of Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic, two tyrants who were responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of their own people.
It is hard to take Clark seriously when, attending the butcher of the Balkans' funeral in 2006 (Milosevic died in a UN war crimes tribunal detention center in The Hague), he said that history would prove Milosevic right and that he and Saddam, were "both commanders who were courageous enough to fight more powerful countries."
Rights organizations rightly pointed out flaws in the process surrounding the two former leaders' trials, but to argue that history would prove them right, or to draw a moral equivalence between despots and the world leaders who, along with NATO, tried to end their genocidal acts, is irresponsible in the extreme.

Some of you have been generous enough to inform me, here or on Facebook or at Twitter, that you do not share my esteem for the writings of Gore Vidal. You perhaps do not care for his politics or his prose style or his morality or his person. Perhaps his patrician hauteur irritates you; I'm sure that he would have wanted it that way.
That's as it should be, rather than the bland, stagnant world we would live in if all our tastes agreed. That said, I'm about to quote him, so clear out. Everyone else can stay.
It's a good thing to stand at the grave of Samuel Johnson in Westminster Abbey or to read the plaque on the house on Park Avenue in Baltimore where F. Scott Fitzgerald lived while writing Tender is the Night. But the best way to honor a writer is not by plaques or monuments but by reading the work the hand composed. I have, as I wrote the other day, been reading and re-reading Gore Vidal's work for four decades (not, mind you, uncritically or finding every scrap of equal value). Today, since writers should be read, I offer you a paragraph from an essay he wrote thirty or so years ago about another American original, Edmund Wilson. Linking Wilson with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Faulkner, he wrote:
Meanwhile, the contemporary of these three blasted stars, Edmund Wilson, outlived and outworked them all. Well into his seventies, Wilson would totter into the Princeton Club and order a half dozen martinis, to be prepared not sequentially but simultaneously--six shining glasses in a bright row, down which Wilson would work, all the while talking and thinking at a rapid pace. To the end of a long life, he kept on making the only thing he thought worth making: sense, a quality almost entirely lacking in American literature where stupidity--if sufficiently sincere and authentic--is deeply revered, and easily achieved. Although this was a rather unhealthy life in the long run, Wilson had a very long run indeed. But then, he was perfect proof of the proposition that the more the mind is used and fed the less apt it is to devour itself. When he died, at seventy-seven, he was busy stuffing his head with irregular Hungarian verbs. Plainly, he had a brain to match his liver.

Can't Get Big-Name Musicians to Play at Your Party? Hire This Middle-Aged 'Karaoke DJ Emcee' Instead
"Sinatra, Jimmy Buffet, 50 Cent, Madonna — it seems there's no genre Dave can't sing," the Reno Gazette-Journal said of "Diamond" Dave Hosley in a 2007 article entitled "Unexpected Pleasures in the Bay Area."
The 55-year-old karaoke-cum-DJ-cum-emcee has been making body parts wet every Friday at Petar's in Lafayette for over two decades.
Forget hiring big-name entertainers to perform at your party — Diamond Dave is a one-man band with only one request in his tour rider: Never stop having fun.

How can there possibly be any stress at this time of year! Children are happier (or is that crankier?), bosses seem nicer (maybe a Christmas bonus is coming?), and life seems easier with Bing Crosby singing in the background about White Christmas' every where you go.
Maybe that's not your reality. For most people, it probably isn't. Maybe most of the time you find yourself saying "falala this!"
It makes me sad to think that we lose sight of what this time of year is all about but the truth is we're moving at such a fast pace that those important things get lost in the shuffle.
Our expectations about this time of year can leave you feeling like you fall short. Expectations have a way of making you feel like you don't measure up, and disappointment rears its ugly head.
When expectations collided with our reality, we can find ourselves over-eating, easily irritated and constantly frustrated. Here are a few tips to help you with what I call Seasonal Expectations:
First of all, learn that saying "NO" is okay to do. We get so stuck on what we should be doing that we lose ourselves in the chaos. The added stress of those feelings that the Holidays bring just aren't worth it. Do what you have to do to keep yourself sane and that usually means saying NO to family, friends, co-workers, commitments at your childs school, functions at church, community gatherings….the list could go on and on.
Secondly, only do the things that make sense to you and that bring joy to you. Be with the people that you love and do the activities that you really want to do. When you do that, you're more likely to enjoy what you're doing and the participation doesn't seem so laborious or overwhelming.
Third, and finally, take charge of those things you can control. Be deliberate about keeping yourself mentally, spiritually and physically healthy. Take a 10 minute brisk walk. Choose to eat well. Pray. Be in the moment (that's hard sometimes) and stop fretting about the next moments. Read a good book, watch a good movie, have dinner with a friend, attend a church service, take an aunt and uncle out to lunch, instead of shopping - walk twice around the mall.
I saw a quote recently that I pass on to you. It's a reminder to put things in perspective - especially during this 'happy' time of year.
"You owe it to yourself to find your own unorthodox way of succeeding,
or sometimes, just surviving."
So have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and then we can move on to Valentines Day (just another celebration with more expectations)!!

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: Landscape and Memory by Simon Schama
Recommended by: Joseph, Nonfiction Librarian
This book is a fascinating treatise on the role nature (specifically wood, water, and rock) has played in Western culture. Schama, an Art and history professor at Columbia University, expertly touches on many examples of our environment's influence on our collective memory - everything from Hitler's obsession with the forests of Europe and the battles fought to get Susan B. Anthony on Mount Rushmore, to Western lust for Egyptian obelisks and dance parties held on the massive stumps of California Sequoias in the mid-nineteenth century. This work is also, with its classical layout and type font and its many excellent illustrations, one of the most beautifully designed books I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: Room by Emma Donoghue
Recommended by: Karen, Senior Librarian
Narrator Jack and his mother, who was kidnapped seven years earlier when she was a 19-year-old college student, celebrate his fifth birthday in the 11 foot square converted shed in the kidnapper's backyard - "room." His mother plans a daring escape using Jack. Following his successful dramatic escape, the real story lies in Jack's entry into a new world. Jack's narration of a world so different than the "room" he lived in during his first five years is funny, sad, and riveting. This story of the loving bond between mother and child even in harrowing circumstances is not to be missed.

Too often, manufacturers assume that they have to buy a new machine tool to increase capacity and throughput...however, such capital expenditures require sufficient volume to produce attractive economies of scale and can have an extremely long payback period.1. How much time do you currently spend on set ups and changeovers? _________
Lean manufacturing is here to stay, and those shops that figure out how to do more with less will actually prosper, even in a recession. One of the best, most economical ways to "trim the fat" is to reduce the amount of time you spend setting up and changing over your machine fixtures.
2. Are you considering a machine tool purchase in the next year? __________
a. Yes
b. No
Purchasing a machine tool should be the last strategy on your list if you're looking
to increase throughput. Improving your current process by recapturing lost machining time will result in dramatic increases in productivity, which could eliminate your need
to purchase a new machine tool.
3. Are you prepared for the end of this recession? __________
a. Yes
b. No
c. I Don't Know
You could be increasing your margins and freeing up capacity, effectively positioning your company to hit the ground running when the recovery comes. And if the recovery is a bit longer in coming? You can make the most of difficult economic conditions and remain competitive by increasing margins and improving productivity.
How Can Ball Lock® Help?
You don't need a new machine tool, CAM software or a even a new cutting tool to increase your current margins and improve throughput and productivity levels.
All you need is a quick change fixturing system to help you complete set up and changeovers in mere seconds.
All you need is Ball Lock®.
The original quick change system for fast set-ups and machine changeover.
Put It All Together…In Seconds.
Maximize productivity levels and dramatically increase throughput with Ball Lock®
If you're looking to realize the full benefits of lean manufacturing, then you need the one system that puts it all together, so you can put it all together…and that's Ball Lock®.
Ball Lock® is the industry's most popular quick-change, fixturing-flexible mounting system that can be configured to create lean-optimized solutions for your most demanding needs.

Welcome. The coming winter has finally arrived.
This, troopers, is the battlefield. Here, the traitors in the Third Alliance will receive the first taste of their punishment for secession. We fight in the name of the Allied Nations, meaning almost every nation in the brik-verse.
Our first target of the war is a heavily defended RIN border outpost. In it are 5 RT-rich asteroids surrounded by a cluster of RIN space stations and ships. We must strike fast if we are to win.
At current, a fleet of Bavarian ships are arriving in anticipation of our attack. A neutral Scythian ship is waiting for its promised shipment of RT. And the Akkadians have provided a small fleet to aid the RIN in its coming tribulation.
An enhanced image of the asteroid field.
This, friends, is our attack fleet. We have allied with our friends the Praetorians for troops and ships and they have been very generous.
The war begins...now.FACTIONS
RIN: Robot Monkey
An image of our main enemy, the RIN. Their fleet consists of 2 capital ships, 3 destroyers, 3 space stations, and 5 gunboats. Docked to a space station are 14 fighters. In 5 turns they will be able to summon reinforcements, though.
Akkadians: IVhorseman
The Akkadians have provided the RIN with a fleet of their ships as well. Try to avoid attacking them unless they become an unavoidable threat. Their fleet consists of 5 gunboats, 2 bombers, 2 light carriers, 2 frigates, and 3 destroyers. The destroyers are tethered to an asteroid at the moment.
Bavaria: Silverdream
The Bavarians have brought a formidable force of 5 capital ships and 18 fighters.
Scythians: Tymon555
The Scythians have a single Emperor-class ship, but it is by far the biggest on the board. They are neutral and will fight for neither side, but there are rumors the captain is mentally unstable.
Trattorians: colette
The Trattorians are bringing a formation to this battle. It consists of one battleship, 4 destroyers (the grey ones), 5 cruisers, and 2 frigates. 6 fighters are docked per cruiser, leading to a total of 30 fighters. We are are completely confident this force will be enough.
Praetorians: dilanski
The Praetorians aren't joking either: they have a mega-carrier, 2 battleships, 3 frigates and a couple fighter wings.
Secret Faction A: Ex_Bajir
Secret Faction B: Falk
Secret Faction C: Semaj Nagirrac
Secret Faction D: Whiteagle
4th wall crap: There is a relatively high chance of this getting baleeted due to my busy schedule, but ultimately I think if everyone is prompt with their orders and don't make me do ridiculous things in LDD (i.e herp derp let's make 30 fighters do 30 things etc.) it'll be a success. Ultimately, this will be the first LDD forum battle ever.
Edit: SEND IN YOUR ORDERS NOW!!!

I love making this foolproof cornbread recipe. The only difference between versions is the flavor combination. The list of adaptations is endless. I never have a specific idea of the meal I'm going to prepare on a daily basis. My first reflex is to inspect my refrigerator, then go through the pantry and finally mix and match flavors that can complement one another. That's the beauty of cooking.
This time, I mixed crushed hazelnuts, dried porcini mushrooms and roasted garlic into the batter. The pungency from the garlic, the richness from the hazelnuts and the extravagance of the mushrooms created the ultimate, most luxurious cornbread I could think of. Don't you agree?

Bold Color in a New England Home
Who's afraid of color and pattern? Not this homeowner or the designer she called on to create a high-spirited family home
If her personality was a color, it certainly wouldn't be beige. Kim Fields goes bold in life, pulling off feats like buying a house, directing it to be gutted to the studs, and field-marshaling its renovation—all in a mere nine months.
Navy grass cloth lines the niches next to the fireplace. Porcelain pieces speak to the whole-house palette

Gallery Wall
Luckily, she found a kindred spirit for the mission in interior designer Katie Rosenfeld. "It felt like some kind of crazy race," Rosenfeld says of the Wellesley, Massachusetts, home project. "But I move at the speed of light anyway, so we're a good match. We both thrive on chaos."
"I really threw a curveball into this home's look with art," designer Katie Rosenfeld says. She had two abstract pieces commissioned from an Etsy artist and also pulled together a wealth of vintage and junk-shop finds for an art wall that homeowner Kim Fields just wanted to keep expanding. "She's a maximalist," Rosenfeld laughs. "I was like a bartender cutting her off."

Considering her dynamic persona, it's no surprise that Kim loves vibrant color and pattern. "She knew she wanted color in her house," Rosenfeld says. "She just didn't know in what form."
Pieces with an Eastern vibe lend a well-traveled look and complement the blue-and-white fabrics that thread throughout the house.

Feeling Blue
The answer emerged as the duo discussed plans for the kitchen in the 1990s home that Kim shares with husband Warren, their two teenagers, and four pets. "We were talking about doing the entire kitchen in navy blue," Rosenfeld says. They opted to dial back that idea, coating just the elegantly paneled island base in Benjamin Moore's "Newburyport Blue." The rich navy hue offers beautiful contrast to cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore's "White Dove" and to gleaming expanses of Antarctica quartzite countertops that give the look of classic marble without worries about spills and stains—or any maintenance hassles.
Gray-blue subway tile with a variegated crackle finish complements the navy island and gray veining in quartzite countertops.

Family Room
But not completely classic. Vibrant coral hues and exuberant pattern, especially chinoiserie, also attract Kim's eye. That opened the design door for Rosenfeld to make a few daring moves.
"I pushed her a little," Rosenfeld says. "I had to talk her into things like painting the dining room commode coral and mixing turquoise and light blue shades in with the navy—like the crazy Manuel Canovas fabric on the master bedroom pillows. Kim's inclination was to match perfectly, while mine was the opposite. She let me go with that."
The kitchen opens to a comfortable family room, where Skyler, 15—and sometimes her brother Max, 17—can chat with Mom while relaxing on the sofa or in a swivel chair. Rosenfeld defined the "floating" furniture arrangement with a striped rug. Architecturally interesting crown molding and other millwork was added during the renovation.

Dining Room
The designer balanced her bold strokes against a calm, neutral backdrop, coating walls throughout the common areas in Farrow & Ball's "Skimming Stone," a clear gray-beige. "It's quiet but not stark," Rosenfeld says. "It complements everything."
The organic vibe of stone-hue walls blends easily with swaths of textural grass cloth and sisal. "I use sisal everywhere," the designer says. "It instantly brings the formality level down, giving the room a modern, fresh feel."
Textures mix and mingle in the formal eating area, where nailhead-trimmed chairs wear sensuous cut velvet and walls are clad in nubby grass cloth. A crystal chandelier introduces the glam factor.

Bar Cart
The earthy canvas lets splashes of color and pattern from fabrics, artwork, and objects sing—downright sassily at times. "Katie did take me out of my comfort zone with some things," Kim says. "But that's OK. I knew she would give me the interiors I wanted—cozy yet sophisticated, layered, and timeless." Much of that layered look comes courtesy of art and objects—none of which made the across-town move with the Fields family.

Grand Space
"Warren and I have been married for 17 years," Kim says. "I came with stuff; he came with stuff. And I didn't want any of that old stuff in the new house. Everything except some family photos and crystal was sold or donated. I wanted to start fresh."
And that's no exaggeration. "She came with nothing but forks, spoons, and a suitcase of clothes," Rosenfeld laughs. "Every piece of art, every object was purchased for this project." While new to the Fields family, though, many of the items aren't freshly minted—or fresh off an assembly line.
Steps from the dining room, the sunny music room continues the blue-and-white scheme.

"I don't want to just pick anything up at any store anymore," Kim says. "It has to have meaning and be something that everyone else doesn't have."
That message sent Rosenfeld on the hunt of her life. In addition to furniture, fabrics, rugs, lighting, and hardware, she pursued a staggering array of art and accessories. "I absolutely scoured One Kings Lane, 1stdibs, Etsy, consignment shops, and local art sources," Rosenfeld says. "I'd shoot one image after another to Kim every night while I was watching the news. Do you like this? Do you like this? I kept pestering her, and she was up to the task. She didn't hesitate to make decisions."
The family room opens to a sunroom, where Warren and Cody like to relax. The light oak paneling is original to the room. "It's '80s, but in a good way," Rosenfeld says. "It feels like a conservatory." Four chairs instead of a sofa seem to get the conversation flowing. An antelope-pattern rug matches the modern mood of the youthful chair fabric and abstract art.

Master Bedroom
The mélange of accessories, curated to feel as if they were collected over a lifetime, works with Rosenfeld's color and pattern choices to put a contemporary spin on this classic home. "The house is very traditional," Rosenfeld says, "but we kept it from being frumpy with abstract art, funky vintage pieces, foo dogs, and Buddhas."
Rosenfeld cocooned walls in grass cloth for a textural counterpoint to crisp navy and white fabrics. The room's "wonky" shape led the designer to use small bedside tables and wall-mount lamps.
