Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock booked rooms in a Chicago hotel facing the Lollapalooza music festival in August, a law enforcement source confirmed to USA TODAY.
Paddock, 64, booked one room at the Blackstone Hotel starting Aug. 1, two days before the festival opened. He booked a second room Aug. 3. The Blackstone confirmed in a statement that rooms were booked in Paddock's name during Lollapalooza but that he did not stay there on those dates.
Both rooms had a checkout date of Aug. 6, corresponding with the final day of the music festival that drew tens of thousands of concert-goers to Grant Park alongside Lake Michigan. It was unclear if Paddock ever used the room or was in Chicago during the festival, according to the law enforcement source who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
The lineup for the festival included the artists Lorde, Chance the Rapper, and Arcade Fire. Among the attendees at the festival was former President Obama's daughter, Malia.
"We are aware of the media reports and have been in communication with our federal partners," the Chicago Police Department said in a statement. "As you saw earlier this week the city conducts extensive public safety planning and training around major events, in close coordination with our law enforcement partners, to ensure public safety.
In addition to Paddock's bookings in Chicago, a federal law enforcement official says the gunman also expressed interest in Boston in the past several months, prompting authorities to notify local authorities there.
The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly, said Thursday that information referencing other locations is being drawn from investigators' continuing analysis of Paddock's communications devices.
Although investigators believe the digital and physical trail Paddock has left in his wake is crucial to resolving his motive for the attack, the official cautioned that the information recovered — including his interests in locations beyond Las Vegas — have so far not led authorities to any firm conclusions.
Investigators looking into Paddock's background and his movements before his killing spree erupted in Las Vegas say he must have had some help along the way given his huge arsenal and precise plans, but they have no idea who that might be.
His girlfriend, Marilou Danley, 62, said in a statement that she had no idea what he was planning or why.
Danley, who was in the Philippines when the shooting occurred, flew back to the United States and is cooperating with authorities.
"He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," Danley said in a statement read by her lawyer outside FBI headquarters in Los Angeles.
Paddock lived a low-key, private life, including spending hours playing highstakes video poker in Las Vegas casinos. He was such a steady customer that hotels gave him rooms for free, including one on the 32-second floor of the Mandalay Bay casino overlooking a country music festival.
The wealthy real estate investor opened fire Sunday from his multistory perch onto the crowd below, killing 58 people and injuring almost 400. He then shot and killed himself as police tried to break into the room.
Investigators trying to determine what triggered the massacre say Paddock's plans were meticulous. He even rented an apartment in a Las Vegas high-rise over another music festival the weekend before the massacre, possibly as a dry run.
He also amassed a huge arsenal of weapons and explosives, and set up surveillance equipment outside his room to detect any approaching outsiders, including police.
Investigators saye he also had a plan to survive the shooting and try to escape, though would not say how.
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said at a news conference Wednesday night that Paddock must have had some help along the way given his huge arsenal, the explosive materials found in his car, and his meticulous plan, but they don't know who that might be.
Even the No. 2 official in the FBI said Wednesday he was surprised investigators have not uncovered more about why a man with no obvious criminal record would cause so much bloodshed.
"There's all kinds of things that surprise us in each one of these events. That's the one in this one, and we are not there yet," FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said. "We have a lot of work to do."
"This individual and this attack didn't leave the sort of immediately accessible thumbprints that you find on some mass casualty attacks," McCabe said. "Putting aside the somewhat dubious claims of responsibility that we see in each one of these instances, we look for actual indicators of affiliation, of motive, of intent, and so far we're not there. We don't have those sort of indicators."
Investigators analyzing Paddock's computer, cellphone and other electronic devices have found no obvious ideological motive, no clear connection to extremists or activist groups or outward display of mental illness.
Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines days before the shooting, said a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly because of the continuing investigation, according to the Associated Press.
Danley, who was overseas for more than two weeks, said she was initially pleased when she was wired money from Paddock to buy a house for her family in the Philippines. But she later feared it was a way to break up with her.
She said she loved Paddock as a "kind, caring, quiet man" and hoped they would have a future together. She said she was devastated by the carnage and would cooperate with authorities as they struggle to get inside Paddock's mind.

Listen to Audio (49 min.)
Can you tell our readers and listeners about your personal history with HIV? How did you find out you were HIV positive?
I had gotten raped, and I had developed something like the flu. One of my grandbabies had passed away, and I came to Minnesota to support my son with this death in the family. I went to the doctor to get something for this flu, and later on they let me know that I had the virus.
Did you know that they were going to test you for HIV?
I had heard a lot about HIV. I told the doctor that I wanted a flu checkup, and to also check for that HIV thing, and that's what happened.
Where were you living at the time?
I was living in Nassau, Bahamas.
How long had you been living there?
Two years.
What were you doing there?
That's my home.
Were you working?
Yes, I had a restaurant.
Are you from there?
I was born there. My mom brought me back to the States, to Chicago, when I was three weeks old.
Have you lived in Chicago most of your life?
Yes -- I was in law enforcement there.
You were working for the Chicago police force?
Yes, I worked there for over 17 years.
Did you enjoy this work?
Not really. [laughs] But I had children.
How many children did you have?
I had six boys and two girls. I was married, three times.
You worked full time and you had eight children?
Wow, that's a busy household.
Yes, it was! [laughs]
Where did you live in Chicago?
I lived on the east side, west side and north side.
More or less all around town [laughs].
Yes [laughs]. I worked on the police force for over 17 years. I finally quit when I couldn't take it any longer. I came up here to visit one of my daughters.
Where did you go, to Minneapolis?
Yes. I just stayed. We moved up here.
What did you like about Minneapolis, compared to Chicago?
The gangs hadn't moved in, the drugs hadn't moved in, but then I could see the signs of it. I was just more relaxed here than I was in Chicago.
Is it really much safer, do you think?
Well, in '86.
Now it's not anymore?
You moved from Chicago to Minneapolis. Did you bring some of your kids with you?
Yes, I did. After a while, all had migrated here except two.
I had a son -- Leivery Van Williams -- who passed away at 33 years old, in 1995. He also had AIDS.
I'm so sorry about your loss. Can we talk about your son later on? Now I'd like to focus on you. You mentioned that you had been diagnosed HIV positive in 1994. Can you tell us how you think you got infected?
I know how I [pauses]. Yes -- I was raped.
Where were you raped?
In Nassau, one night after I got off of work.
Where did the rape occur?
At my house.
Were you alone in the house?
I was alone.
What happened?
I would rather not say exactly. Somebody that was important came to the house, and I felt safe. I let him in. At that time I found out what he had come for. He didn't hurt me really. I was going to try and [laughs] get down with him, but I was scared because he had a weapon. He didn't hurt me; he just killed me. But I refused to lie down. I didn't know about the virus at the time.
Would anything have been different had you known that HIV was a risk?
No -- there was nothing I could do about it.
Because he had a weapon?
You had known this man and felt safe with him previously?
No, I felt safe with him because of his position.
I see, because he was an important member of ...
Yes. He was [pauses]; I would like to not say.
That's OK. He was an important man in the Bahamas. You thought he was a man of stature, that he would act like a gentleman.
He didn't.
I thought that someone had broken into my restaurant.
I see.
That's why I let him in.
You thought he was there on official business.
Yes, yes. I didn't know him. I saw him before.
Had he been nice before?
Yes. We just came in contact at the restaurant, that's all.
After the rape, did you go to the hospital?
No. Like I said, he didn't hurt me.
Within a week or two, I started getting something like the flu. I was taking what I could to work with the flu, but it wasn't doing any good. Meanwhile I found out one of my grandchildren had passed away with SIDS [sudden infant death syndrome]. I came to Minneapolis to be with my son and his wife. I came here and went to a doctor. I was on social security. The money followed me to the Bahamas, but the medical care didn't follow me.
You couldn't get medical care in the Bahamas.
No. That's why when I came here, I went to a doctor at a clinic and had a complete checkup. That's when I told them make sure they checked for that thing, the HIV. Everything came back OK -- it was the flu. They said the last test hadn't come in.
It took about a month after that before I found out what happened -- that I had the virus.
Were you nervous during that time while you were waiting for the results?
No, that was the last thing on my mind. I knew I was not a promiscuous woman. This thing had happened to me so I knew when and how I got infected. When I checked things out, I found out this man had been doing this to quite a few people.

Here's the scene where Anna Torv really proves what a versatile actor she is — first she registers a ton of different emotions as Peter shows her his secret. And then she turns into a whole new person.
Honestly, last Friday's episode of Fringe was one of the least memorable overall, except for a couple of bits.
Spoilers below...
So the "A" plot of "Os" was one of several we've had lately where something gruesome or weird is happening, and everybody involved is well-intentioned, and really not very much is at stake. There's a guy whose son is suffering from muscular dystrophy, so after he discovers a weird new molecule that is lighter than air, he starts experimenting with making other MD sufferers float as a way of alleviating their condition. But they need to keep stealing rare elements for him, so he can keep making the floaty serum. It's all a bit — pardon me — lightweight.
The only really important thing about that storyline is how his floaty molecule works — it shouldn't, but the laws of physics are going all bendy as a delayed reaction to Walter's universe-crossing misbehavior, 25 years ago. Walter is more convinced than ever that he needs to find a solution to the problem of the universe breaking down — and he wants the help of William Bell, who was the Lennon to his McCartney. (Although William Bell lived for years on the Other Side with another Walter Bishop, and never had any solutions to the problem there.)
There were a few decent Walter scenes — most notably, when he gets stoned with a security guard and watches the Massive Dynamic security monitors, before realizing he's never been inside "Belly's" office. And his interest in life after death via "Soul Magnets," which I thought was a throwaway remark, turns out to have been ultra-significant. Because Walter decides that William Bell may have saved his life essence — his Katra, if you will — inside another person who was there when he died. That Nimoy, always transferring his life essence at death.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Peter are getting to know each other better, and Olivia is sharing such intimate secrets as the fact that she doesn't like it when Peter grinds her bones with his hand while they're watching television. And meanwhile, Peter is continuing to be shifty skulky guy, in a return to the plotline where he was kiling shapeshifters and wearing a sinister hoodie. It's been ages since we dealt with that storyline, but it's suddenly back full force, because Peter has arranged the shapeshifters' data drives into a "daisy chain" and revealed tons of hidden extra data which he can't access.
It all culminates in the final moments, where Walter decides that the brass bell that William Bell left Nina is the key to restoring Belly's Katra. (And somehow, Nina never thought of trying to ring the bell that her old boss/lover left her. Not once.)
That final scene is actually pretty interesting — like I said above, watch all the different expressions that go over Anna Torv's face when she realizes that Peter's secret project isn't just macrame or something. And then when it dawns on her that he was the serial killer they were tracking a while back, and he's been lying to her all this time. And then, right when she's about to process it all, she gets taken over by Belly, and starts doing her Nimoy impression.
Honestly, this was one of the weaker episodes of Fringe lately, and the whole "Olivia taken over by William Bell's ghost" storyline does not seem promising on the face of it. This show seems, in the past few months, to be teetering on the line between "grand epic" and "random soap opera," with some of its recent twists falling a wee bit on the "random" side. Here's hoping that this Friday's big reveal of Bellivia doesn't disappoint.

Williams has third fastest car - Symonds
Williams technical director Pat Symonds believes his team has the third fastest car this year behind Mercedes and Red Bull.
In Austria and Britain Valtteri Bottas finished on the podium as the best of the rest behind Mercedes and in Germany beat Lewis Hamilton to second place after the Mercedes driver started from the pit lane. The Williams has performed better at fast tracks with long straights, but Symonds is confident it should be quick at most tracks this year regardless of layout.
"I do recognise the differences for us at places like Austria, but I still believe we have the third quickest car, and if we use it and develop it properly we will be third quickest at most circuits," he told Formula One's official website . "It is very close this year - no one will say anything other than Mercedes is the best car, in my opinion Red Bull are second, and then you have Ferrari, Force India, Williams and McLaren. That is quite a tight bunch, (but) arguably we have the third-best car at the moment."
However, Symonds believes Williams can punch above its weight in the same way Renault did when he was technical director at Enstone.
"I don't believe up until Austria that we performed or achieved what we should have, for all sorts of reasons. What makes it difficult this year is that 43 points are taken by Mercedes at pretty much every weekend, which means the rest of us are fighting for a lot less.
"The difference between finishing third and sixth overall might be quite small. If we are the third-best team, we ought to finish third in the championship - but in 2005 [at Renault] we won the championship with Fernando Alonso despite McLaren having the better car. We were a better team and we won by our racing."

Dr. Suzanne del Gizzo, associate professor of English and director of departmental honors at Chestnut Hill College, has been named editor-elect of The Hemingway Review, the journal of the Hemingway Society. Del Gizzo was named editor at the society's annual board meeting at the American Literature Association conference in May.
Del Gizzo is a well-regarded Hemingway scholar, having published 20 articles on Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and on 20th century literature in a number of distinguished journals, including The Hemingway Review. She has co-edited two anthologies, "Ernest Hemingway in Context" (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and "Hemingway's The Garden of Eden: 25 Years of Criticism" (Kent State University Press, 2012).
She also has assembled special sections for The Hemingway Review on Robert Frost and on Hemingway's "Garden of Eden." Other work for the journal includes evaluating submissions and reviewing books, while also reviewing publications for the American Literary Scholarship journal.
Del Gizzo is well-known and well-respected by the Hemingway community, serving the society in a variety of roles over the years. She is currently serving her third term on the board of the society, has organized programs for the American Literature Association and Modern Language Association from 2007-2011, and has co-directed the society's international conference in Lausanne, Switzerland.
"I am honored and excited to serve the society in this way," del Gizzo said. "My principal goal will be to maintain the extremely high standards that Editor Susan Beegel has established for the Review so that it continues to be the premier journal for Hemingway scholarship."
The Ernest Hemingway Foundation was established in 1965 by his widow, Mary Hemingway, "for the purposes of awakening, sustaining an interest in, promoting, fostering, stimulating, supporting, improving and developing literature and all forms of literary composition and expression." Within that context, the Foundation's activities have emphasized "the promotion, assistance and coordination of scholarship and studies relating to the works and life of the late Ernest Hemingway."

More Foreign Direct Investment in Retail for India?
Recently, India has seen a heated debate on the entry of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country's $400 billion retail market. In November 2011, the government proposed a policy change to open up the country's multi-brand retail segment -- for retailers such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Foreign investors were to be allowed to own up to 51 percent of a multi-brand retailer if they invested at least $100 mn, with half spent on infrastructure development in India. Within weeks of the announcement, the government suspended the decision amid protests from opposition parties and small shopkeepers citing concerns over large scale job losses, especially in the small, unorganized retail sector.
What is FDI?
Foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to the net inflows of foreign investment to acquire a lasting management interest (more than 10 percent of voting stock) in a domestic company. In 1997, the government permitted 100 percent FDI in the wholesale cash and carry trade, in which customers arranged the transport of goods from wholesalers and paid for goods in cash (not credit), on a case-by-case basis.

Method Man to swing the Wu-Tang Sword all over Hollywood
- 2003-04-09 15:39:23
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2003-04-09
Method Man
says it won't be long before he and
start working together again, but first, the Ticallion Stallion wants to get in the studio with
Tamyra Gray
Don't expect the former "American Idol" finalist to appear on Meth's upcoming Tical 0: The Prequel later this year, though — Meth is joining the cast of "Boston Public" for a couple of episodes, where he'll have his eyes set on Gray's abused high school student character Aisha.
"I play a record producer who's trying to sign [Tamyra]," Meth said a couple of weeks ago in New York. He was readying himself to begin filming on the series a few days later. "They say I have a reputation for sleeping with young girls."
Meth will play an even less reputable character when he joins the ensemble cast of HBO's crime drama "The Wire" this summer.
"My character's name is Cheese," Meth said. "The name speaks for itself, he's about his cheese. He's a street aficionado. He's underneath the man. It's a dope character, he's about his paper. I'm not in any scenes with the original cast members right now. They're in one part of Baltimore, I'm on the other side. But I did get to meet Sonja Sohn."
Although Tical is loving the opportunities he's getting as a thespian, the wordsmith admits that not every role is for him.
"I take this acting thing as serious as I can take it, being an MC," he said. "Anything they put in front of me that I think I can handle, I'mma take it. I'm not gonna play a character I can't identify with. I'm never going to have to play a gay dude or take my clothes off on camera. I ain't stepping outside my range. A lot of times us as [rappers] want to do these movies so bad — I ain't got nothing against it — but a lot of times y'all taking these parts and y'all not holding it down. That's why people like
Sam Jackson
[have criticism]. When
Will Smith
[started acting], nobody was saying nothing. Even to a certain extent when LL was doing it, nobody was saying nothing. I guess it's all about paying dues and actually respecting this art form."
Meth's upcoming roles aren't going to be limited to the small screen. He's continuing to swing his Wu-Tang sword all over Hollywood. He'll appear as
Anthony Anderson
's wayward cousin this fall in the comedy "My Baby's Mama" with
Eddie Griffin
Michael Imperioli
of "The Sopranos," and there's talk of his entire musical Clan appearing in "Scary Movie 3."
Ghostface Killah
has already inked his deal.
Meanwhile, Method Man and Redman are going to begin their next buddy picture in June — they'll play two federal agents in Universal's "DEA."
"They're putting some money into this one," Meth said with a smile. "It's more than $12 million. That's how much they paid for the last one and it made $33 million. Woooo!"
The "last one" he was referring to is 2001's collegiate comedy "How High." And when Meth says "last one," he really means it.
"Will there be a 'How High Part 2'? No," he scoffed. "We got so much flack over the first one 'cause it was a drug movie. I don't need the headache."
Meth and Red's collaboration will be spilling over from the movie studio to the recording studio. The artist also known as Johnny Blaze said once he and his homie finish their respective solo albums, which are both due later this year, they'll once again make an LP together. They already have a title in mind, too: B.A.S.I.C., an acronym for Bricks and Staten Island Connected.

Gonzalez eager to shine in final NFL road game
When he first looked at Atlanta's 2013 schedule, Tony Gonzalez
was thrilled to see a late December rematch with the San Francisco
Gonzalez envisioned the Falcons exacting revenge for San
Francisco's victory in last season's NFC title game in Atlanta.
Unfortunately for Gonzalez, the league's record-setting tight
end, the circumstances couldn't be much different.
The 49ers are 10-4 and close to securing another trip to the
Atlanta, at 4-10, was the first NFC team eliminated from
postseason contention, essentially making a disappointment out of
Gonzalez's decision to put off retirement and return for a final
"Last year was last year," Gonzalez said Friday. "That's in
the past."
Even so, the Falcons' freefall in the standings hasn't caused
Gonzlaez to close out his career in bitterness.
He has focused instead on the good times, from his first 12
seasons with Kansas City to his last five with the Falcons, and the
remarkable consistency as the NFL's No. 2 career-leading
"That's what separates average players from good players, good
players from Pro Bowl players and Pro Bowl players from Hall of
Famers," Gonzalez said. "That's what I try to do every time that
I'm out there on that field. Every play is a chance for me to go
out there on that field and be great."
For the most part, despite only one playoff victory in his
career, Gonzalez has done just that.
Only Jerry Rice caught more passes. Only Rice, Terrell Owens,
Randy Moss and Isaac Bruce had more yards receiving. Only Rice,
Moss, Owens, Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison had more touchdown
Gonzalez redefined his position, statistically surpassing the
numbers posted by Dave Casper, Mike Ditka, John Mackey, Ozzie
Newsome, Charlie Sanders, Shannon Sharpe, Jackie Smith and Kellen
Winslow – eight tight ends enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of
"The great part about him is it doesn't matter if there's two
games left or we're in Week 1 or 2 or whatever," Falcons
quarterback Matt Ryan said, "he approaches each one the same way.
He's intense, focused and excited, and he's been that way for five
years since I've been around him."
With just two games left, Gonzalez almost can't believe the end
is near.
On one hand, he's grateful to be almost done because the weekly
grind of practice, conditioning and film study is a crashing
"If you ask any player around the league, it's not about what
goes on during the week," he said. "That's not the part that
you're going to miss. I'm forcing myself to try to enjoy it because
it's tough."
The thrill of playing in games, however, still makes him feel
"It's only two games, but I still want to go out there and give
the very best of me that I can," Gonzalez said. "I don't want to
leave any stone unturned, and that's always been my approach.
That's not going to change."
He's already feeling nostalgic about returning to the Bay Area,
where he began his college career 20 years ago at California and
went on to become a first-round draft pick by the Chiefs in
Gonzalez, a Southern California native, has tried to buy as many
tickets as possible for family members and friends.
It will be his last chance on the road to make a positive
"I feel great," he said. "I could play at a good level for at
least another year, another two years, maybe even three, (but) it's
over as far as I'm concerned."

Ho-hum–another new DSLR that shoots HD video. That was our reaction at the announcement of this new Nikon geared for first-timers to interchangeable lens ranks. And yet there's something unique about this camera we'll share with you in a click or two…
Features and Design
No need to spend too much time dissecting the industrial design of this baby since it looks like every other DSLR on the market. It does have a nice textured grip and is blessedly clean of icons and decals. Let's get to the good stuff. DigitalTrends.com readers know we're not big fans of DSLR video. Until the Sony SLT-A55V came along we dismissed it because focusing was a real pain. Not to get too techie but DSLRs use contrast phase detection when capturing movies compared to a camcorder's more accurate phase detection. The new Sony –A55 (and A33) cameras are breakthroughs because they use phase detection. The result? Those DSLRs take the best video of any camera we've tested (and it's the AVCHD format, just like better high-def camcorders). Although the D3100 uses contrast detection, it's the first with full-time auto focus (AF) in movie and Live View modes. In theory, this means you can concentrate on your subject as the camera does the focusing chores. More on this in the Performance section…
Like all DSLRS, the front of the D3100 is dominated by the mount and lens; it accepts over 40 Nikkor AF-S mount lenses. The $699 kit comes with an 18-55mm 3x zoom with an equivalent focal length of 27-82.5mm. Needless to say you can spend a small fortune adding to your glass collection but this one is a good start if you're a newbie. Also here is an AF Assist/self-timer lamp, mono (not stereo) mic and lens release button.
On the top you'll find the auto pop-up flash, hot shoe, mode dial and release mode lever. This lets you quickly change between single shot and burst mode (3 fps) as well as the self-timer and quiet shutter. On the pistol grip are the shutter button surrounded by the on/off switch, access to exposure compensation and Info. The mode dial has the usual DSLR options including Auto, PASM, no flash and six common Scene modes (portrait, landscape, child, sports, close-up and night portrait). The setting that's unusual here is Guide which is basically an on-camera tutorial. Designed for newbies and those who want to explore what the camera can do, it shows a number of situations and then makes the appropriate settings. For example, in Easy Operation you can choose things like Auto, No flash, Distant Subjects, Sleeping faces and so. You hit the OK button and the D3100 will adjust settings to that specific subject. If you're an experienced photographer, this means nothing—and you wouldn't buy this camera in the first place. For those stepping up from a point-and-shoot, it's a real plus.
Nikon's D3100 next to Sony's Alpha SLT-A55V
The rear of the D3100 has a viewfinder with diopter control. The viewfinder has 95% coverage, the going spec for entry-level DSLRs (more expensive models are closer to 100%). It's fairly bright and has legible readouts of key parameters. Beneath it is a 3-inch fixed position LCD screen rated 230K pixels. The screen holds up well in Live View but more pixels would be better (of course you have to pay for this privilege by stepping up to the $899 D90 or $1,199 D7000).
To the left of the monitor are five basic keys. The lower "I" Information button give access to the camera's main parameters which vary by mode. Making adjustments is very simple. On the top right is the AE/AF Lock key and a jog wheel for moving through various options. This is nicely positioned and there's a textured thumb rest below it. You'll also find a 4-way controller with center OK button, delete key and a small speaker. Also here is the obligatory red dot button for shooting videos except unlike a digicam which just takes a single press, you have to flip the surrounding Live View lever then hit the red dot to record. This isn't a big deal, just different.
A word about DSLR video given the brouhaha a short time ago. Cameras are not camcorders and the D3100 can only for record 10 minutes maximum at a time. Nikon warns the camera may overheat if conditions are bad (such as high ambient temperatures, too much Live View use) and will automatically shut down. Remember: DSLRs are good for short clips (several minutes) and if you need longer times, buy a camcorder. Read our coverage on the truth about overheating DSLRs.
The right side has a SD card slot (it accepts SDXC and Eye-Fi cards). The left has four inputs/outputs (accessory terminal, USB, mini HDMI, A/V connector) and near the lens opening are flash up and Function keys. The bottom of the Made In Thailand camera has a metal tripod mount and battery compartment.

Pipeline Perspectives: Callis' All-Prospect Team
We're nearing the end of the Minor League season, with the Triple-A Championship on Tuesday serving as the last official event. Thus, it's a fine time to review all that has transpired this year, and Jonathan Mayo and I are doing exactly that.
We've each selected an All-Prospect Team, based on a combination of talent and performance. Anyone who qualified as a prospect entering the year was eligible, which made dominant big leaguer Jose Fernandez (Marlins) an easy choice.
We're nearing the end of the Minor League season, with the Triple-A Championship on Tuesday serving as the last official event. Thus, it's a fine time to review all that has transpired this year, and Jonathan Mayo and I are doing exactly that.
We've each selected an All-Prospect Team, based on a combination of talent and performance. Anyone who qualified as a prospect entering the year was eligible, which made dominant big leaguer Jose Fernandez (Marlins) an easy choice.
Jonathan and I agreed on seven of the 10 positions. I opted for Javier Baez (Cubs) over Francisco Lindor (Indians) at shortstop, Miguel Sano (Twins) over Maikel Franco (Phillies) at third base and Andrew Heaney (Marlins) over Henry Owens (Red Sox) among left-handed pitchers.
We also have chosen some superlatives, including identical picks for our position and pitching prospects of the year: Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and Fernandez.

Most of the positions were pretty obvious, as there was an elite talent who enjoyed an outstanding year. I though the two most difficult decisions were at catcher, which didn't have a top prospect who had a standout season, and at shortstop, which had too many options to choose from.
Mariners catcher Mike Zunino's batting average and on-base percentages have been disappointing, but I cut him some slack for spending his first full pro season in Triple-A and the Majors, and gave him credit for hitting for power and playing decent defense. Travis d'Arnaud could have beaten Zunino out if he hadn't missed three months with a broken left foot.
At shortstop, Baez led the Minors with 75 extra-base hits and 111 RBIs while destroying Double-A pitching as a 20-year-old. But the Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts played well in Triple-A and the big leagues at the same age, and Lindor, Carlos Correa (Astros) and Addison Russell (Athletics) also had fine years.
Position Prospect Of The Year: Byron Buxton, Twins
The best prospect and the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 Draft, Buxton had a modest pro debut after signing for $6 million. In his first full pro season, he was the most spectacular player in the Minors, batting a combined .334/.424/.520 with 12 homers, 55 steals and 76 walks between two Class A stops. Buxton reminded Midwest League observers of Mike Trout, only with more power at the same stage, and Buxton doesn't have a single tool that grades as anything less than above average.
Pitching Prospect Of The Year: Jose Fernandez, Marlins
Because we're considering players who began the year as prospects, the obvious choice is Fernandez, even if he didn't spend a day in the Minors. He had no difficulty jumping from high Class A to Miami at age 20, as he currently leads the Majors in hits per nine innings (5.79) and the National League in strikeouts per nine (9.75). Fernandez's mid-90s fastball and hard slider are both out pitches, and his changeup has been effective as well. If we only looked at pitchers who spent some time in the Minors, my choice would be Archie Bradley (D-backs).
Biggest Jump: Raul Adalberto Mondesi, Royals
The son of former all-star Raul Mondesi, Raul Adalberto signed for $2 million out of the Dominican Republic in 2011 and made his pro debut by arriving in the Rookie-level Pioneer League last year as a 16-year-old. The Royals pushed him to low Class A this year at age 17, making him the second-youngest regular in a full-season league, and he responded by batting .261/.311/.361 with 24 steals. Once Mondesi matures physically, he should be a solid hitter with surprising power, and he's already a quality defender. Add it all up, and he has become one of baseball's best shortstop prospects.
Biggest Fall: Trevor Bauer, Indians
Shin-Soo Choo is helping lead the Reds to the playoffs and Didi Gregorius has filled the Diamondbacks' hole at shortstop. Both were part of a three-team, nine-player trade last December, but the other club involved hasn't been as delighted with its centerpiece. The Indians thought they were getting an immediate rotation help in Bauer, the third overall pick in the loaded 2011 Draft. But he was ineffective in four starts for Cleveland, and the club didn't bother to recall him in September. Bauer's stuff and command regressed, and he perplexed the Tribe by pitching out of the stretch full-time for a while. Scouts once regarded Bauer as a frontline starter, but now many question whether he'll be able to be a No. 3.
Most To Prove: Jonathan Singleton, Astros
Singleton's status as baseball's top first-base prospect hasn't changed, but he has lost a bit of his luster. He missed the first 50 games of the 2013 season after drawing a suspension for violating Minor League Baseball's drug policy for a second time (Singleton said he tested positive for marijuana). Once Singleton joined Triple-A Oklahoma City, he batted just .220/.340/.347, well below his previous .291/.394/.470 career numbers. Perhaps he was just trying to make up for lost time, but Singleton seemed more aggressive and swung and missed more often than usual.

It was entirely predictable (and we predicted) that the mainstream media and the liberal pundits associated with it would not only turn against John McCain once he became the Republican nominee, but also attempt to demonize him. The decent thing for those liberals who had praised McCain so much in the past would have been to maintain their respectful posture but express their preference for Obama based on policy grounds. But there was never any hope that the liberal pundit class would act decently. The past respect was founded largely on McCain's willingness to stick it to Republicans. Once McCain became the Republican standard bearer, it was inevitable that these liberals would withdraw that respect.
Hoping to cover up their raw partisanship, liberal MSMers attempt to show that McCain has changed fundamentally. Lacking anything terribly concrete on which to base this claim — like, say, breaking a promise to fund his campaign through public financing — liberal pundits have resorted to crass intellectual dishonesty.
The latest example comes (again predictably) from Joe Klein. He tries to show that McCain has changed by pointing to the Senator's views of two anti-Vietnam activists, Dave Ifshin and Williams Ayers. Ifshin (with whom I attended high school) protested the war by traveling to Hanoi and making anti-war tapes which were played to McCain while he was a prisoner at the Hanoi Hilton. Ifshin later felt great remorse over this conduct. When McCain came to Congress, Ifshin reached out to him and, thanks to McCain's graciousness, the two men were reconciled.
Klein contends that, by now criticizing Obama for his association with Bill Ayers, McCain has betrayed his ideal of ending the divisions associated with the Vietnam war. But Ifshin deeply regretted his conduct during that war and said so. As Jason Moaz reminds us, Ayers has insisted he has no regrets about his terrorist activities except that he did not "do more."
Is Joe Klein so blinded by partisanship and Obama worship that he can't grasp the distinction between the repentant Ifshin (who never engaged in terrorism) and an unrepentant terrorist? Or is he deliberately trying to sneak one past his readers? In the end, it more or less boils down to the same thing.

Not many people in Grant County can say they have played in a high school all-star football game, but for senior kicker Preston Cahill it was a game he enjoyed participating in.
"I was honored to be a part of it," he said. "It was a prestigious game and I was honored to represent Grant County High School."
Cahill was one of two kickers in the state to play in the Best of the Bluegrass Dec. 12 in Louisville at St. Xavier High School.
Cahill was on the Greater Louisville roster and 48 schools were represented in the game.
Even though the Kentucky team defeated Greater Louisville 28-12, Cahill was just pleased with being there.
"I was hoping to end my high school football career with a win," he said. "But I was proud to just be a part of it. It was special."
Former Grant County football coach Mike Davis attended the game and was proud of Cahill's performance.
"It's an honor to have a kid like Preston picked from your team," he said. "I thought he did a tremendous job kicking the ball and I could not be more proud of him."
Davis said that Cahill was one of the easiest players he had to coach and that it can be difficult playing both soccer and football during the fall.
"He's one that comes in and works extremely hard," he said. "Because kicking a soccer ball is way different than kicking a football."
On top of being selected to the all-star game in Louisville, Cahill also received some awards for his efforts on the football field. He was named Courier-Journal Second Team Defense for the punter position.
Cahill also received an award from Davis that was created especially for him, as he is the most accomplished kicker in GCHS football history.
"Preston is a total package kid," he said. "Being an all-state performer and for all the records he holds at Grant County, I am proud for him and he is well-deserving of the award."
As far as what the future holds for Cahill in football, a few colleges in the area are recruiting him, including Hanover, Centre College and Georgetown.
"Wherever Cahill goes he is going to be successful," Davis said. "He is the most respectful and accomplished student I know."

- geographic diversity (beaches, farmland, rollinghills),
- excellent location (between New York and Boston)

The importance of this process is to centralize the removal of hardware and to ensure that obsolete equipment is taken out of use. IT Help Desk will be notified to pick up equipment and evaluate it to determine if there are any useful parts that can be salvaged and used for the repair of other CCRI owned equipment. All parts that can be used are removed and the Track-It Inventory system is updated to reflect the removal of obsolete equipment. In addition, certain models of computers are evaluated for potential refurbishing or updating.
This page is intended as a starting point for individuals who need to dispose of old equipment. It provides recommendations for preparing equipment for recycling or disposal.
Desktop and notebook computers, monitors, printers, and scanners. Any other technology equipment except copiers, UPS, fax machines
This is not a general rubbish collection service and does not include the disposal of security cages, media, miscellaneous cables and other items.
Departments should contact IT Help Desk at x1112. The Help Desk will request that you provide the following information: serial number/make/model #, room # for each item, and a contact name and the owning department. This information will be logged into the Call Tracking system (Track-It).
The IT Help Desk will coordinate the transfer of the equipment and then assess the equipment. If it is determined that the equipment is unusable, the IT Help Desk will arrange the transfer of the equipment to the central storage room where it waits for periodic disposal in accordance with CCRI's disposal procedures or is stored, to be redistributed to another location in the college.
Removal of all work related data and licensed software from all data containing devices including but not limited to, hard drives, tape, CD-ROM etc.
Computer equipment that is determined to be viable will be recycled or disassembled for parts and supplies for reuse of components.
If it is determined that computer equipment cannot be reused or recycled it then will be disposed of in accordance with CCRI's computer disposal procedures. Computers will be considered obsolete when they can no longer provide a "basic level of service" or have exceeded their useful life.

Somewhere in Philadelphia, Cary Williams must have nodded a knowing nod, even if he didn't know why.
Cowboys safety Barry Church missed Monday's walk-through, after having a root canal, according to Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"I guess it's been bothering him for a little bit," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "He's a tough individual, but I guess he had a little incident this morning, so hopefully we'll get that cleaned up and he'll be ready to roll."
The Cowboys used rookie J.J. Wilcox in his place. There's no word on whether Church needs to attend a dance recital at any point during camp.

Baltimore gets lots of face time in "VEEP," the Maryland-made HBO political satire starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
But so far, all of it has been as a stand-in for Washington, the setting of this fictional series about the vice president of the United States. Last week, the Ottobar and the New Wyman Park restaurant doubled as D.C. settings for a rock concert and a breakfast meeting between two political aides.
This week, however, in an episode titled "Baseball," Baltimore gets to play itself in a story line that finds Vice President Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus) hosting an "Eat Healthy" event at Camden Yards. In the paranoid, ever-anxious and always-status-crazed fishbowl of politics and media that Meyer calls home, being assigned to the president's "obesity initiative" is another career slap in the face from her boss, and she is none too happy about her first event in the new role.
Beyond all the Baltimore locations, also recommending this episode is the fact that it's directed by series creator Armando Iannucci and is steeped in the sharply-etched awkward, embarrassing and revealing comic moments that he has all but trademarked with films like "In the Loop" and TV series like "The Thick of It." Only instead of skewering British political life, he's now shining a light on the dysfunction of Washington – and doing it from our backyard.
For viewers, Meyer's downbeat attitude is part of the fun of her trip to Camden Yards — that and what is going on in her personal life, which I will not spoil for viewers with any more details. But the first two-thirds of the episode is set at Camden Yards, so don't be late when the show starts at 10 p.m. Sunday.
Other Baltimore locations are involved: the Hilton Hotel across from Camden Yards; the Mother Mary Lange School, on Frankford Avenue, where Vice President Meyer is scheduled to speak to a grade-school class, and what the Maryland Film Office says is the Charlesmead Pharmacy, on Bellona Avenue, where aides are dispatched to buy something personal for the vice president. Again, I will not divulge the purchase for fear of incurring the wrath of the Spoiler Police. (Unlike Camden Yards and the Hilton, the last two sites are "dressed" so as to not be instantly recognizable — at least, not to me.)
And a trio of local sports celebrities get cameo screen time this week as well: Orioles pitchers Jake Arrieta and Tommy Hunter appear in uniform along with Hall of Famer Jim Palmer, who is no stranger to the camera.
From Jockey underwear ads and "The Naked Gun" to the broadcast booths of ABC Sports and MASN, Palmer has looked into the unblinking camera eye for some three decades, and come out on the other end regularly looking good. Palmer not only gets a couple of lines, he improvises one in keeping with the style and spirit of this savvy comedy.
In their scene, Arrieta, Hunter and Palmer are part of a group waiting on the field to meet Vice President Meyer. One running joke in the series is the way in which an aide is always whispering background information into her ear about people she is about to meet (sometimes even as she is shaking hands with them).
In this scene, a White House staffer is in a skybox looking down onto the field as she approaches the group — and telling her via cell phone who she is going to be shaking hands with.
"That's Jake Arrieta. He's a starting pitcher," the White House staffer says. "And on his left, that's Tommy Hunter. He's a starting pitcher. Oh, and that's Jim Palmer. He's a Hall a Famer. The guy's a legend. He's a starting pitcher as well."
Looking confused and irritated, Meyer hisses into her phone, "You don't have multiple starting pitchers. There's one mound. Do you see three mounds or one mound?"
I cannot include the expletive of an adjective she uses to describe what kind of an "idiot" she believes the White House staffer to be as she shuts off her phone and reaches out to shake Arrieta's hand.
But if you're not familiar with the series, you will have to trust me: The expletives, which almost always begin with the letter "F," are a delight, a perfectly apt and delicious way to express the anxiety, insecurity, anger and frustration in this amped-up Washington world where there never seems to be time to think. In Meyer's world, there is only time to speak or act — and then hope that the news cycle will move on so fast your mistakes won't be fatal.
While Arrieta and Hunter mainly stand there smiling and saying "Yes, ma'am," Palmer reaches out and says, "Madame Vice President, it's an honor to meet you."
"What a treat to meet …" she starts to say to Palmer, when he adds, "Welcome to Camden Yards."
"So, Jim, you're a Hall of Famer," she says, trying to sound like she knows what she's talking about.
"Well, they let me in there," he says self-deprecatingly.
"Oh, and that is a wonderful thing to be in the Hall of Fame — for sure, for sure," she adds trying to stretch the biographical fact whispered into her ear into something that approximates an actual conversation.
"It was fun, because I was a huge 'Seinfeld' fan, and Julia was such a huge part of that," Palmer said in a telephone interview last week. "My wife and I, we watch 'VEEP' every week, because Julia's terrific. I mean, the whole show is really well done. And I'm glad to see that it's, at least I assume, it's doing very well."
Well enough to be renewed for another season, which is the name of the prime-time game.
Palmer said the filming of the scene started at 8 a.m. on a chilly day in November, and there were "many, many takes" before they wrapped.
"I think the end result is kind of like when you pitch and you have a nice game, and everybody forgets how much work you did to prepare yourself for doing that," he says. "TV's no different."
Palmer said he was prepared for a day of many takes after working on "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Story!" in 1988 with producers David and Jerry Zucker.
"The Zucker brothers just kept doing it over and over and over, so I had an idea of how long it takes to do these things well," Palmer said.
"My wife asked me today, 'What exactly were your speaking lines?'" he added. "And I said, 'Well, first, I'm old, and it was a long time ago. And number two, you never know what they cut. But I think I said, "Yeah, somehow they let me in there," after she mentioned the Hall of Fame, and we kind of improvised that.'"
Having spent time on the Columbia soundstage with "VEEP" while it was filming last year, it is fascinating to get this glimpse inside the making of this little scene, which really is kind of a throwaway moment. In context, it plays off a much bigger moment involving a very private announcement that Meyer makes while standing in the public space of home plate at Camden Yards.
But even in the case of this little scene, with all the multiple takes that Iannucci and his team had to work with, they chose one in which Palmer improvises and he and Louis-Dreyfus speak over each others' lines a bit.
Why? Because, as I learned on the soundstage and from interviews with Iannucci, for all his obsessive precision, he also highly values a sense of the messiness of real human interaction and conversation. Each scene in "VEEP" starts with a script, but then, improvisation is encouraged take after take until he and his team are satisfied that the dialogue feels real. And that feeling is one of the ways that viewers come to believe in the "reality" of the characters and the world of the sitcom.
The more I watch this series, the more convinced I am that Baltimore is very lucky to have it being made here. And not just because of the jobs it provides or how inviting it makes a place like Camden Yards look this week.

Shape Places Zoning Changes Under Scrutiny in Referred Law 3
A new package of zoning rules was approved by the City Council by unanimous vote in 2013, but will be approved or rejected by the voters in the form of Referred Law Three.
The current zoning laws in place for Sioux Falls have been in place since 1983. Shape Places was designed to upgrade the previous statute, though opponents want a little more tweaking done before the 200-plus page standard is adopted.
Greg Neitzert wants the measure to pass. "Shape Places gives homeowners more rights and more options. It makes the new zoning ordinance consistent, predictable and upfront. It eliminates surprises in your neighborhood like having homeless shelters show up. In commercial districts, you know what size of building is going to get built."
Dana Palmer helped lead the effort to bring Shape Places to a vote and is against passage because of a few major issues though she readily admits that most of Shape Places is beneficial. "The lack of public input and the upzoning and downzoning without public notice are problematic. For example what would be considered C-4 under the old rules would look much different if classified C-4 under Shape Places. We want to fix those issues before the law goes into effect."
Many consider this item on the ballot the most crucial, but least understood of the issues that voters will decide. Please take the time to inform yourself before making your choice. To get an in-depth feel for the issue, please sample the debate in six separate segments.
Segment 1: Introduction to Shape Places.
Segment 2: Digging deeper in what zoning rules can and cannot do plus defining "Green Dots."
Segment 3: A quick response to a previous volley in Segment 2.
Segment 4: Breaking down Residential Zones in the City and buffering from Commercial Districts.
Segment 5: Passing the law doesn't mean closing the door.
Segment 6: Final thoughts from both sides of the issue.

It's time to announce the winner of last week's giveaway. But first, let me tell you about my Baghare Baingan Naan-Pizza.
Yes, that's what it is. And if that sounds odd, trust me, odd can be beautiful. And delicious.
The Baghare Baingan Naan-Pizza was inspired by Lavi's unique event calling for pizzas topped with Indian flavors. I considered sending in my tandoori-tofu-topped pizza, but then I found these tiny, egg-like eggplants that I love at my Asian grocers' and wham!…a brainwave.
Baghare Baingan is a spicy, mouthwatering dish from Hyderabad in southern India, and I had long ago posted a recipe. I decided to use the baingan as a topping for my pizza, and because I wanted the Indian flavors to run through, I chose to make a naan instead of a pizza.
A naan dough is not very unlike a pizza dough, and I have in the past substituted one for the other. This time, I went with my grilled naan recipe, but I substituted 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour, making my Indian pizza healthier. I also cut up the baingan into quarters, instead of leaving them whole as I did for my Baghare Baingan, so it would be easier to lay them out on the pizza.
I am not going to repost the individual recipes for the Baghare Baingan and Naan dough, since you can check them out for yourselves. But here's the procedure I followed. Remember, only follow the instructions for making the naan dough and don't go ahead and grill it, as you would when making a grilled naan.
Baghare Baingan Naan-Pizza
(Makes 2 12-inch pizzas)
1 recipe baghare baingan
1 recipe grilled naan (Follow instructions until the point where the dough is ready. Then follow instructions below).
A handful of chopped coriander
To make the pizza dough, follow the grilled naan recipe. At the point where you divide the dough, divide it into two, not three pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and let stand for half an hour.
Roll out each ball into a 12-inch round. Poke the round with a fork, going all over the pizza. This will "dock" the pizza, so it doesn't rise in the oven which would make it difficult for you to top it.
Place the naan-pizza in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes or until it's beginning to brown and just starting to stiffen up.
Spread the baghare baingan on top of the pizza as evenly as possible. Scatter some coriander leaves on top, then put the pizza back in the oven and bake another 15 minutes or until the bottom is lightly golden-brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven, scatter some more coriander leaves on top for a fresh burst of flavor, and cut into wedges. You might even want to squeeze a dash of lemon on top of the pizza. Yum.
Thanks, Lavi: here's a pizza coming your way. And thanks also, Cilantro, for starting the Global Kadai event.
The pizza also goes to Champa for her Bake-off event.
And now for the moment that all of you—or at least 61 of you– have been waiting for. The winner of the $50 iHerb giveaway.
The winner was picked entirely at random — I put all your names on little paper slips, folded them up, and then had the very helpful Desi hold the bowl out to my very neutral judge, Opie.
It took Opie less than a moment to decide. He grabbed a name and was running away to chew on it when Desi rescued it. So here it is, sticking to Desi's fingers but still in one piece:
Congratulations Michelle D, and email me at email@example.com for details on how you can claim your gift.
As for the rest of you, I have something for you too. A code for $5 off for every first-time buyer at the iHerb Web site. Just enter the code BUY123 when prompted.
As some of you astute folks may have noticed, I've changed the look of Holy Cow! I wanted something cleaner, more streamlined, and I also wanted to add pages, now that Blogger has made it possible to do so.
One of the pages I've added, "In case you were wondering," is an FAQ of sorts…for any of you who've wanted to know more about Holy Cow! and the why, what and how of being a vegan. I've also included a few other bits of information that could be useful. So explore away!

The Paul K Band
Watching the Paul K Band at work is a Masterclass in Musicianship as one is treated to a spectacle in virtuoso playing from fast Jazz and Funk influenced solo's to smooth and silky vocals. Frontman and piano player Paul Kirwan has cut his teeth in many venues in Dublin and Kildare and has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Duke Special, Arlo Gutherie and Shakin Stevens. His style of singing is unforgetable as is his songwriting, which touches your heart strings in one track and then has you dancing with another. His companions, Raphael Dziubinski on Drums and Marcin Gruszka are both seasoned professionals from Poland, both having shared the stage with many major acts including Joe Cocker. Raphael, a student of the Berkley School of Music, is a percussionist by trade and this lends itself to his unique style of drumming. Marcin comes from a heavy rock background in Poland but hearing him play is like sitting in front of Victor Wooton-a melodic joy to behold!! If you Like Music, and if you get a thrill in watching the best three piece band in the Country tempering their own unique brand of music just for you, then go see The Paul K Band-Its as simple as that! Check out http://www.myspace.com/paulkirwanmusic
Obviously we are in Ireland at the moment, but we are trying to build our profile. Our target is to become more widely known and to start playing bigger venues / festivals etc...
I have decided to go down this route to see what many minds can come up with. We offer a unique sound in our music and wish to reflect that in our Branding. This project is for logo only, but please bear in mind that we will require further design for website etc.
Honestly, we are open to anything and promise to respond to queries requests as quick as we can.
Good luck to everyone.

The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature"--but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-fascie absurdity. In declaring his love for beaver dams (erected by beavers for beavers' purpose) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the "Naturist" reveals his hatred for his own race--i.e. his own self-hatred.
In the case of "Naturists" such self-hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women--it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly "natural."
Believe it or not, there were "Naturists" who opposed the first flight to old Earth's Moon as being "unnatural" and a "despoiling of nature.""
