Rios Montt genocide plaintiffs seek international help after Guatemala court delays trial to 2015
Representatives of Guatemala's indigenous Ixil Maya have filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights in Washington accusing the Guatemalan government of failing in its legal obligation to investigate and prosecute genocide.
The petition, which was filed Wednesday, was in response to an order by one of Guatemala's highest courts requiring a lower court to consider amnesty for former President Efraim Rios Montt, whose forces conducted a bloody campaign against Guatemalan indigenous groups in the early 1980s.
"We presented a petition . . . because we want Guatemala to be held accountable for the crimes committed against the Ixil people," said Marcia Aguiluz of the Center for Justice and International Law. "We want the Inter-American system to give a judgment that Guatemala must investigate and judge these people."
Prosecuting Rios Montt for what took place during his rule has been a challenge from the beginning. The lead Guatemalan prosecutor on the case, Edgar Perez, has received multiple death threats. Since August 2010 he has traveled with nearly constant protection provided by the human rights group Peace Brigades International, which said it has thwarted a number of attempts on his life, including an attempt to tamper with the brakes on his car.
Rios Montt, 87, was convicted in May of genocide against the Ixil people. Over a two-year period in the early 1980s, as many as 95 percent of Ixil villages were razed and several thousand people, roughly 5.5 percent of the Ixil population, were killed.
But Guatemala's Constitutional Court overturned the conviction 10 days later and ordered a retrial, which was expected in early 2014. In October, the Constitutional Court ordered the lower court to reconsider whether Rios Montt was eligible for a 1986 amnesty, even though a subsequent Guatemalan law and international law says such amnesties did not apply to crimes against humanity.
A final blow came Tuesday, when the Constitutional Court informed plaintiffs in the genocide case that there could be no retrial until early 2015 because the court's calendar is full for 2014.
Advocates of trying Rios Montt expressed concern that he might die before further legal action takes place.
"There are, of course, concerns about unjustified delays," said Roxanna Altholz, associate director of the International Human Rights Law Clinic at the University of California's Berkeley Law School. "Rios Montt is an older man, and these crimes occurred over 30 years ago."
"The truth is that we can't wait longer," said Aguiluz. "The judges have all of the information; they could move the agenda, but this is just further evidence that they are not taking it seriously."
The petition presented to the Inter-American Commission seeks an expedited "judgment against Guatemala that obliges them to judge the persons that are responsible," Aguiluz said. The plaintiffs also are seeking reparations that would compel the Guatemalan government to address the tendency of the justice system to delay trials, avoid investigations and favor amnesty in cases of crimes against humanity.
The Inter-American system is complicated, however. First, Guatemala must respond to the charges. Then the Inter-American Commission must decide to refer the petition to the Inter-American Court. If the case is deemed admissible, the Inter-American Court is then able to issue a binding ruling, which could include international condemnation of Guatemala if the country does not fulfill its legal obligations. A typical case in the Inter-American system takes three to seven years from start to finish.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker Cobras were defeated by the Newberry Wolves in their South Atlantic Conference double-header on Saturday (April 12) afternoon in college baseball action. The Cobras lost the first game 6-3 and then dropped game two 5-3.
Game one started off as a pitching duel between Coker's Adam Webb and Newberry's Cole Cromer. Neither pitcher allowed a run in the first three innings of action. Newberry finally broke through the Cobra defenses with three runs in the top of the fourth inning. The Wolves then tacked on two more runs in the sixth to take a 5-0 lead.
The Cobras got on the board in the eighth inning with a sacrifice fly by T.J. Giczkowski that scored Sammy Song. A two-run single by Song in the bottom of the ninth made it a 6-3 game, but that would be were the game would end as the Wolves shut down the Cobras to take home the victory.
Adam Webb (4-1) suffered the loss on the hill for the Navy and Yellow; he allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings of work.
Song drove in two runs, while Giczkowski had a pair of hits and drove in a run. Also collecting multiple hits in game one was Fico Kondla.
In game two, the Cobras were first to strike thanks to an RBI single by Will Winslow in the bottom of the second, giving Coker the 1-0 lead. The Wolves, however, quickly answered with three runs in the top of the third. Another Cobra run in the bottom half of the inning made it a 3-2 game. Newberry regained the two-run lead with a single run in the fourth, but the Cobras answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth to again cut the lead to one, 4-3. The Wolves plated their fifth and final run in the top of the sixth and held on to win the game and sweep the series.
Korbin Causey (1-1) was tagged with the loss. He allowed three runs on a hit in an inning on the hill.
At the plate, Winslow and Jarren Donato each drove in a run, while Song had a double and scored a run.
The Cobras will return to the diamond on Wednesday (April 16) for a non-conference game against GRU August at home. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Election Day is still eight months away, but the race for Nassau County Executive has already begun to heat up. Two Democratic candidates — one who is quite familiar to the county political scene — have emerged to seek the party's nod to challenge Republican incumbent Ed Mangano in November.
Former County Executive Tom Suozzi, who held the job from 2002-09, and Roslyn school board member Adam Haber have both announced their desire to win Nassau's top job and likely will face off in a Democratic Party primary in September.
Suozzi said that a few months ago, many people in and out of Nassau's political circles started encouraging him to run. It took a little convincing, he admits, but he finally decided to launch a campaign. Suozzi said he is fed up with the current county government. "Nassau County's a wreck," he said. "I've seen it decline more and more over the last three years."
The first sign of trouble, Suozzi said, was when a state control board, the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, began its oversight of the county's finances. Suozzi pointed out that NIFA was in place during his eight years as executive, but never had to step in. "They never came close to taking over because we had eight balanced budgets, eight surpluses, 13 bond upgrades," he said.
Haber described himself as an "outsider" to Nassau County politics and said he believes his success in running businesses would be an asset if he were elected. The East Hills resident and father of two owns two restaurants, one in Mineola and one in Manhattan. He said he has experience creating jobs.
Nassau County is in dire financial straits, Haber said, and neither raising taxes nor getting more concessions from the unions can fix those problems. Instead, Nassau County needs to increase its tax base by attracting more businesses, Haber explained. "You have to make this place an economic engine," he said. "That's the only way out."
Haber described himself as a hard-worker and said he plans to make that fact evident to voters in the coming months. He said he has been pondering a run for county executive for nearly two years, and has attended the Legislature's meetings on a regular basis since 2011.
Suozzi lost to Mangano by 386 votes in 2009 in a race that took several weeks to decide. Suozzi said he believes that the outcome could be different this time. "I didn't work hard enough in 2009. I took it for granted," he said, adding the he felt comfortable with his lead in the polls. "I thought I had no problem to win the race."
It was after he was out of office when Suozzi realized how much he missed the job, he said. Suozzi notes that in the past he has had aspirations for higher office — he unsuccessfully challenged Eliot Spitzer for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2006 — but said now he would be content if he never makes it any higher. "If it turns out that my life is that I was the county executive of Nassau County who helped to turn around the county, that's a pretty big accomplishment and I'm satisfied with that," he said.
Since leaving office, Suozzi, of Glen Cove, has spent time working for Cablevision to help launch MSG Varsity, worked for a financial company to push public-private partnerships, and currently is with the Harris Beach law firm. He has also been spending more time with his wife and children.
Haber said that Suozzi had his eight years to try and right the ship in Nassau County. He said that while Suozzi and Mangano are both nice people, they are not innovators.
Meanwhile, Haber said that as a school board member in Roslyn, he has led an effort to refinance the school district's debt to save money and created a partnership with neighboring districts to provide more efficient transportation for students attending private schools.
Suozzi said he did try innovative ideas when he was county executive, most notably trying to create "cool downtowns" in Nassau. He pushed for development around transit hubs, specifically to attract young professionals. Suozzi said that several of these projects are under way in Suffolk County. "Nobody's even talking about it here," he said.
Haber said he dislikes the cuts that have been made to social services in the county. One of the main functions of government, he explained, should be helping people who can't help themselves. He also says that the current administration's solution to the county's financial problems is to borrow more money.
He said he would like to make Nassau County a destination, and if elected would develop a plan to increase tourism. Haber also said he is working on a plan to fix the county's broken assessment system, though he won't say what that is until a comprehensive plan is developed.
Suozzi criticized Mangano's management of the assessment system, saying that the county still owes $300 million in refunds with no way to pay for it.
Noting that Suozzi is the favored candidate of the Democratic Party, Haber said he makes no apologies for seeking the nomination and will continue to push hard in the race. "I'm an outsider who's running just to see if I could help," he said. "I think there's a lot of success that we can have."

Denarius Moore missed practice Thursday with a shoulder injury for the second straight day, leaving open the possibility the Raiders will be without their leading receiver when they host the Tennessee Titans.
Moore leads the Raiders with 37 receptions for 569 yards in 10 games with a team-leading five touchdowns.
Also not on the field during the media window were running back Darren McFadden (hamstring) and starting defensive end Jason Hunter (foot).
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday Moore wouldn't risk worsening the injury by playing.
"This is going to be something that he's going to have to deal with as we finish out the season,'' Allen said. "Whenever he can tolerate the pain and be able to push through it, then he'll be back up. It's not a surgery thing or anything like that.''
— The Raiders have asked for an extension to Friday in order to sell enough tickets to declare a sellout and lift the local television blackout.
The Raiders have sold out their last seven games since their last blackout, which was last Dec. 2 against the Cleveland Browns.
— Moore, running back Darren McFadden (hamstring), defensive end Jason Hunter (foot) and safety Tyvon Branch (ankle) did not practice. Guard Mike Brisiel (ankle/knee), wide receiver Juron Criner (shoulder), Holmes (shoulder), linebacker Kaluka Maiava (ribs), tackle Matt McCants (toe), defensive tackle Daniel Muir (knee) and quarterback Terrelle Pryor (knee) were limited.
Allen said Pryor "moved around well'' but there was no determination if he would be able to serve as the backup quarterback.
— Wide receiver Tim Brown and guard Steve Wisniewski were among 25 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brown was a finalist for the past four years. Wisniewski is a semifinalist for the first time.

[Verse 1]
You see, I skip to my lou like Napoleon at Waterloo
My name is Diamond D, tell you what I'm gonna do
I dip and I dab like a Mike Tyson jab
Even though there's flab, I possess the gift of gab
I shoot it like a jammy and girls give the panties and
Even with a fanny and I might win a Grammy and
Maybe I won't, so I'll chill like the Pope
See, I'll never mope 'cause I know my shit is dope
Like Columbian fish scale, ask my man Ishmael
(Diamond D got props like a cop)
Or better yet DT 'cause brothers can't see me
Even your girl says you got a small wee wee
Now you wanna go upside her head
Do you feel intimidated by the things she said?
Don't be mad 'cause I paid her back
(You know I) took her to the rest and I laid her back
(I go) on and on like popcorn with the butter
A-a-a-a-yo! I used to stutter
But I fall on track and some may say I'm wack and
Fat, but in fact, I'm not any of that, black
See, I'm the best kept secret (Yeah)
So shut the fuck up and peep it
[Hook x4]
"Diamond D"... "Raised in Forest"
"Rapper tries to diss, I crush the motherfucker"
[Verse 2]
See, I write my own rhymes, produce my own shit
Yeah boy, I ain't the one to fuck with (Nope)
I'll take a beat and I'll flip it
With so much flavor, niggas wanna sip it
But that's cool 'cause they know I got skills
Let me demonstrate if you will, ahem
Rock is my man and so is Dapper Dan and
I'll shake your hand and don't try to flam
Or front like a stunt who lost her cunt
I only hit grand slams, never will I bunt
Bases are loaded, bottom of the ninth
I step to the plate 'cause I know my shit is great
I can't walk down the street
(A-yo Diamond, can you make me a beat?)
You gotta have cheese, about a couple of G's
But if I know ya, I might just throw ya
A little somethin' on the side, troop
A funky bassline and a hype loop
I got a thousand old records in my crib
I used to hustle but I never did a bid
Some people call me Jo Jo, I keep a low pro
Non-stop props, so act like you know, bro
Pass me a mic and I'mma keep it
Yeah boy, I'm the best kept secret
[Hook x4]
[Verse 3]
Yo, I'm deadlier than Michael Myers
My style will embrace you like a pair of pliers
But don't sweat it, G, why don't you let it be?
'Cause Diamond D is a pedigree
In other words, I'm official
I'll never go out like a wet piece of tissue
Ruff and rugged, stronger than Bounty
New York is the city, Bronx is the county
Learned from the best so the rest just fess
Now I'm gettin' booked at the Fillmore West
Located in the Village, so kill it, 'skillet
You ask yourself, will it ever cease?
'Cause Diamond's sharp as a crease
I only use bees wax, I'll never use grease on my dreads
But instead, if you want some kicks
Step to the mic, I'm an 8 to 1 pick
You reap what you sow and I can reap it
Yo, I'm the best kept secret
[Hook x4]
Diamond D broke this track down with Unkut.
When I recorded "Best Kept Secret" I wanted it to go on the Ultimate Force album. Then when I saw that Strong City were in the process of losing their distribution deal, I had to make a decision. Do I just wait, or do I try to explore some other avenues? I went to Chemistry Records initially to play beats for an artist they were looking to sign – his name was Joe Control. While there, I mentioned that I also rhymed and then I played them my stuff. It's the same version [as used on the album], without Fat Joe going, "Come on! Come On!" [laughs]

DeKALB – Since its inception in 1998, the Bowl Championship Series, for the most part, has left out the little guy.
The big six conference champions received automatic bids in the system, which will expire after next season. Notre Dame gets a bid in one of the five BCS bowls if its in the top eight in the final BCS standings.
Schools from conferences like the Mid-American, Mountain West and Conference USA have a much higher hill to climb when it comes to getting in one of the major bowl games.
In 2014, when the new bowl system – which will include a four-team playoff – replaces the BCS, mid-major schools will be better off. Under the new format, teams from the "Group of Five" conferences – the MAC, Big East, Conference USA, Mountain West and Sun Belt, will have the access they largely have been denied over the past 15 years.
The best team from the Group of Five will earn an automatic bid in one of the six access bowls. That team will be chosen by a selection committee, according to MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher.
For example, this season, the bid would come down to teams like Louisville, who's currently ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press Poll and 18th in the USA Today Coaches Poll, Rutgers (No. 21 AP/No. 19 Coaches), Kent State (No.23 AP/No. 25 Coaches), Boise State (No. 22 Coaches) or NIU (No. 24 AP/No. 23 Coaches).
In the coming years it's certainly possible a team from the MAC, such as NIU, could be featured in an early January game against a team from the Big Ten or Big 12.
The new bowl system could be considered a victory for successful non-AQ programs like NIU.
"It feels like it, because we're relative. It feels like it, for sure," NIU head coach Dave Doeren said. "Obviously you've got to be an undefeated team probably, or a one-loss team and take care of your business probably from the preseason on, I would think. Because you lose late, you're out in those kind of situations.
"I think it's a great thing for our conference."
NIU's president, John Peters, is on the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee. He told the Associated Press last week getting automatic access was big for the Group of Five.
"One thing that was very important to the group of five, non-AQ schools, was some sort of access to one of those bowls so we could compete," Peters said.
Under the BCS, the only way the champion from a league like the MAC earns an automatic bid is if the team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS standings, or ranked in the top 16, and higher than a conference champion from one of the automatic-qualifying leagues.
Since the inception of the BCS, four schools from non-AQ conferences have played in BCS bowl games — Utah (2004, 2008), Boise State (2006, 2009), Hawaii (2007) and TCU (2009, 2010).
Steinbrecher, speaking during Monday's MAC coaches teleconference, said the new system is a "big get" for the conference, and likes his league's chances of competing for the new bowl slot.
There's also the issue of revenue distribution. Steinbrecher wouldn't go into specific numbers, but said the new system will bring a lot more money to the conference and its member schools.
According to the BCS media guide, the current non-AQ conferences will receive $14.1 million this season, nine percent of the BCS revenue, if no team from one of the five current leagues participates in a BCS game. Steinbrecher said the non-AQ conferences split half of it, with the other half awarded based on competitive factors.
Steinbrecher said the Group of Five conferences will figure out how to divide the money from the new system in the near future.
"I will say there will be significant growth in the revenue the Mid-American Conference derives from this system," Steinbrecher said.
More access, more revenue. It's a win for programs like NIU, Boise State, Tusla and Central Florida.
For years the mid-majors have had to fight to get access. Now, it's guaranteed. Doeren said the fact his team will now have a better shot at a lucrative bowl game will help in recruiting as well.
"People can't tell us anymore that you can't go to a BCS game and things like that, which has been said," Doeren said. "It's no longer an argument, for sure."

Creating Keepsakes has announced that CKC-Nashville, which was to take place Aug. 27th-28th at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, has been cancelled for 2010:
As you may be aware the location for CKC-Nashville, the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, has suffered severe damage from recent flooding. In working with our contacts at the Gaylord Opryland, it was determined that the facility would not be ready for CKC-Nashville and so we regret that we are cancelling the 2010 CKC-Nashville.
Since no alternative location was able to be secured in Nashville, in lieu of the cancelled Nashville event Creating Keepsakes has announced that it is adding two new locations to the CKC schedule for 2010:
Paula Kraemer, Creative Crafts Group VP of Events, told Scrapbook Update about the changes:
I was heartsick about the devastation to the Gaylord Hotel and the adjoining Opry building. We have been going to Nashville since 2003 and I have many friends that experienced major flooding.
Kraemer and her staff are working with the affected vendors to transfer deposits to other events or refund them if necessary.
Registration had not yet opened for the canceled Nashville event. Registration for the new events in Cincinnati and Virginia Beach will open Wednesday, June 2nd.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tesla Motors Inc.'s gains accelerated Tuesday after Morgan Stanley analysts raised their price target, while Office Depot Inc. skidded after reporting a wider loss in the fourth quarter.
Tesla TSLA, -0.97% soared 14%, at one point hitting a high of $259.20 after closing Monday at a record. Analysts at Morgan Stanley raised their price target on the stock to $320 from $153 with an overweight rating. Amid expectations that the auto-maker would release details about its planned "gigafactory" battery plant this week, the analysts said Tesla could disrupt the battery and autonomous vehicle industries.
In a report titled 'Nikola's Revenge: TSLA's New Path of Disruption,' Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote: "Tesla is an extremely ambitious company for whom flooding the market with fun-to-drive EVs and giving competitors a headache might not be the endgame. Tesla's limited addressable market, a long-time bear thesis on the stock, appears well up for grabs here."
Office Depot Inc. ODP, -3.02% sank 9.1% after the office supplies chain reported that its quarterly losses widened and margins weakened in the most recent quarter. Growing losses were attributed to costs associated with its November merger with rival OfficeMax Inc. The company expects to reorganize by the end of February. Shares of competitor Staples Inc. US:SPLS slid 3.1%.
Online retailer Zulily Inc. US:ZU skyrocketed 40% following the firm's fourth-quarter earnings report, which showed sales doubling from the year-earlier period. The company easily beat Wall Street estimates in its first results since going public last November.
Within the earnings report, Janney Capital Markets analysts Shawn Milne and Michael Carroll found "strong Q4 upside driven by continued momentum in mobile order growth and solid wallet share gains across new categories."
LinkedIn Corp. US:LNKD shares rose 4.6%. The social-networking company unveiled a beta version of its Chinese site as part of its push into the country. "The new Simplified Chinese website will broaden our reach to the country's more than 140 million professionals who currently represent roughly one in five of the world's knowledge workers," LinkedIn Chief Executive Jeff Weiner said in a blog post.
Frontier Communications Corp. FTR, +0.00% shares rallied 9.4% to top the S&P 500. The regional telecommunications company late Monday said its fourth-quarter profit jumped to $67.8 million, or seven cents a share, from $24.9 million, or four cents a share, a year ago.
GameStop Corp. GME, -4.17% shares advanced 6.7% amid chatter of potential interest from an activist investor, according to Seeking Alpha.
Macy's Inc.'s M, -0.05% shares climbed 6.2%. The department store said Tuesday that its fourth-quarter profit rose to $2.16 a share from $1.83 a share a year ago but sales fell to $9.2 billion from $9.35 billion. Excluding one-time items, adjusted profit came in at $2.31 a share, beating analysts' average estimate of $2.17 a share.
Tenet Healthcare Corp. THC, -2.82% shares slumped 8.7%. The hospital operator on Monday said it swung to a loss in the fourth quarter due to an increase in pretax interest expense.
Expeditors International of Washington Inc. EXPD, -0.41% dropped 7.2%. The logistics company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 41 cents a share, below the 47-cent-a-share forecast by analysts in a FactSet survey.
RealPage Inc. RP, +0.24% tumbled 23% after the firm said late Monday that its profit fell by 41%, and cut earnings guidance for the current quarter. The provider of on-demand software and services to the rental housing industry said it now expects to earn 15 cents to 16 cents a share on an adjusted basis in the first quarter, below the consensus estimates of 17 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Tickers to Watch
HD: Home Depot Inc. HD, -0.83% was up 3.4% after earnings beat Wall Street projections.
SCTY: SolarCity Corp. US:SCTY shares rose 4.3% after the provider of solar panels partially reported its quarterly earnings, but delayed its complete financial results until March 3.

Cutting Surfaces
The use of plastics for cutting surfaces is growing, due to the great advantages over wooden cutting surfaces. Plastic cutting boards are less porous than wood, making it less likely to harbor bacteria. Plastics are also easier to clean, and are available in clear transparent, white, red and other colors.

Ocean fishing ban will be a drastic step
Sometime during the first week of April, regulators will decide whether to close a 700-mile stretch of the California and Oregon coasts to commercial salmon fishing, and much of the West Coast will learn whether locally caught king salmon will show up at fish markets this summer.
At first blush, it seems like a case of short-run consumption versus far-sighted conservation. But it's not that simple. It's a tale of the tangles that snarl the West when our appetites grow so big that there isn't enough to go around.
King salmon — also known as chinook — were hammered by twin catastrophes on the Klamath River in 2002-'03, when most of this year's catch would have hatched. Tens of thousands died in the fetid lower river on their way to reproduce. Then the progeny of the surviving spawners emerged into a river swarming with parasites, dooming the vast majority of fingerlings.
As a result, even without any fishing, just 29,000 Klamath chinook are expected to reach their spawning grounds this year — below the minimum level needed to sustain the run, according to biologists. The anticipated fish number is just a few percent of the hordes that used to throng the river, originally the third-mightiest salmon producer in the Lower 48.
The proposal to take a break from fishing this year might be an open-and-shut case if Klamath chinook were the only fish affected. But the region's commercial salmon fishing occurs at sea, where Klamath fish mingle with much more numerous runs from other rivers. The Sacramento alone is expected to yield several hundred thousand catchable kings this year.
This system of ocean fishing, known as trolling, worked fine when all rivers produced relatively strong runs. Now, fishermen are held hostage to the weakest of them. This year, that's the Klamath.
Projections from the Pacific Fishery Management Council suggest that keeping the fishermen at their docks would save about 5,000 Klamath chinook, while letting nearly a quarter-million other kings off the hook.
As fishermen see it, that's a lot of fish to forgo just to let a few thousand more spawners take their chances in an inhospitable Klamath. Without efforts to address the root causes of the fishery's decline, says Zeke Grader, executive director of the Pacific Federation of Fishermen's Association, "putting fish back into a river that's killing them makes as much sense as tossing virgins into a volcano."
Behind the 2002-'03 fish kills lies a river that is worked to the bone. Its upstream waters are captured to irrigate fields of hay, potatoes and barley near the California-Oregon border; several aging hydroelectric dams stopper its main stem; and its largest tributary is tapped for agribusiness hundreds of miles to the south, in California's Central Valley. With the Klamath's life-giving flow sidetracked, river conditions leave the salmon susceptible to infections like the ones that overtook them three years ago.
Unfortunately, the way the West is run, it's almost impossible to address those root causes comprehensively. The dams go up for relicensing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Water diversions are the province of the Bureau of Reclamation and private irrigation districts. Fishing seasons are set by the Department of Commerce.
Apart from the difficulty of coordinating those agencies' efforts, any federal action these days is colored by the calculus of what seems like a perpetual campaign. As the Wall Street Journal uncovered in 2003, the decision to allow upstream farmers to irrigate full-bore in 2002 — which precipitated subsequent salmon die-offs — revolved around a photo of Republican Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon opening the irrigation headgates as part of his re-election drive.
The effects may reverberate much longer than Smith's senate term. Fishermen worry that missing an entire season will cripple their industry. The salmon fleet in California and Oregon has dropped to less than a third of its 1990 numbers, at about 1,500 boats. By the time the salmon regain their strength, fishermen warn, condos and arcades are apt to have displaced their harbors' ice houses and fuel docks. At that point, the West Coast's fishing towns would become one more example of Old West resource-industry facades hiding New West gentrification within their hollow shells.
The saddest part of that scenario is that mining towns have inherently limited lifetimes, since they are based on finite deposits of minerals. But if we would take good care of salmon and their rivers, the story on the coast wouldn't have to end that way.

Face That Unwittingly Launched Manti Te'O Scandal Speaks Out
Diane O'Meara, the woman whose image was used in an alleged scheme to convince Notre Dame star Manti Te'O that he had a real girlfriend, spoke out on "Today" this morning and said that she wasn't involved in the plot and had never met Te'O before. The people (or person) responsible for the hoax allegedly got Te'O to believe his fake girlfriend, whom they named Lennay Kekua, had died of leukemia, and the football player received national attention for his seemingly poignant plight.

Ray Allen Brown, a 52-year-old non-zombie Arkansas man, is in jail tonight, charged with second-degree murder for the death of 52-year-old Robert Brindley. No bath salts are known to have been involved, nor was any human flesh consumed by the human charged with the crime.
His weapon of choice: his prosthetic arm, and a rock.
Police arrested Mr. Brown at his home—at 116 Carson Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas—armed, and at the same time un-armed, with his prosthetic in hand. He is being held at the Garland County Detention Center, on $10k bail, in anticipation of a court appearance scheduled for June 12. [AP via @blam - Image via OneO2/Shutterstock]

Lawyers are the second most "psychopathic" profession in the world after CEOs, according to Kevin Dutton's book "The Wisdom of Psychopaths."
In his book, Dutton interviews a cold-hearted lawyer who embodies psychopathic tendencies.
Click here to see if you're a psychopath >
"Deep inside me there's a serial killer lurking somewhere," the young attorney told him. "But I keep him amused with cocaine, Formula One, booty calls, and coruscating cross-examination."
The phenomenon of psychopathy is so enticing that British journalist also Jon Ronson wrote a book on the psychopaths in our midst.
"I think my book offers really good evidence that the way that capitalism is structured really is a physical manifestation of the brain anomaly known as psychopathy," says Ronson, author of "The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry" in an interview with Forbes.
"Basically, high-scoring psychopaths can be brilliant bosses but only ever for short term ... they always want to make a killing and move on," Ronson says.
But how similar are high-powered (psychopathic) executives to the average Joe?
Armed with psychologist Robert Hare's widely used psychopath diagnostic tool, the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), Ronson explored the world of mental health and criminal profiling to understand what makes some people psychopaths.
Want to know where you fall on the list?
Take the psychopathy test and find out. Each of the items in the test is scored on a three-point scale: A value of 0 is assigned if the item does not apply, 1 if it applies somewhat, and 2 if it fully applies.
Keep track of the items that best describe you and read on for the results.
And don't worry if you score too high. Dutton's book argues that society actually couldn't function without psychopaths.
If you scored 0-5 points: You are most likely not psychopathic.
If you scored 6-29 points: You may have some psychopathic characteristics.
If you scored 30-40 points: You are a prototypical psychopath.

Steve Charles—I can't recall a single encounter with Professor Robert Cooley during which he did not surprise me. Sometimes with an opinion, sometimes with something he'd recently read, often with an encouraging or kind word, and occasionally with an autobiographical fact (for example, his talent as a "coloratura whistler!"). The conversations often sent me scrambling for a text, and once inspired a major change in my life. His intellectual curiosity was contagious.
Even his death surprised me, though it shouldn't have. We knew this was coming. But I was hoping for another of those conversations, and Bob's rallying from cancer and various complications spoiled me into believing there would be more time. As my wife said when I told her the news, "We're not ready to lose him yet."
So when I went to the College archives to find comfort in reading more about him, I had to smile when, once again, and even in death, he surprised me.
First, in a Montgomery Magazine article from 2003 written by John Waye. I knew Bob and Mary Angela had parented many foster children and adopted four of their own. I didn't know that Bob had himself been adopted:
"Bob was an orphan, adopted at 20 months by a miner and his wife in the steelmaking center of Bessemer, Alabama. His father was a tough, down-to-earth man who went to work at the age of 12 and rose in the mine, where he became its superintendent…
"The young lad proved to be a brilliant and hard-working student, a Boy Scout in his Baptist church's troop from the age of 12, he rose through the ranks to Eagle and was involved as a junior scoutmaster. He worked on his studies, his reading, and music, especially choral work. He was a boy soprano in certain choral groups…"
Bob's academic ranking in high school earned his recruitment for the Navy V-12 program, and Waye's article discusses his bachelor's degree in biology, his flight training in the near-impossible-to-fly PBY42s (and those take-offs from and landings on aircraft carriers I'd heard him describe so well), his reconnaissance flights over Korea and China at the beginning of the Cold War, and his law degree.
But my favorite anecdotes involved his meeting and courtship of Mary Angela:
"Back home from college he went to a favorite high school teacher and asked her if there was any girl from the high school that he would like to carry on a conversation with. She immediately recommended Mary Angela Perry. They began dating on a double date to a Sunday evening church service, then back to one of the girls' house to sing hymns around the piano. Within six weeks they both knew that the other was the one they would later marry.
"But that proved to be much later. Mary Angela was still two years from finishing high school and wanted to graduate from college before marrying. Bob was getting ready to start his junior year at the University of Alabama and took a lot of ribbing from friends about "robbing the cradle, but he and Mary Angela knew their own minds quite well and never wavered. Bob countered their banter with, "Oh, she'll grow up!"
And, of course, she did.
But the most moving words I read in Bob's file were those of the late Professor Paul Mielke, Bob's friend and colleague in the mathematics department, who spoke at his retirement reception in 1999. Printing that talk would make a good remembrance, but I'll share a few excerpts here. It's such a pleasure to read not only for what we learn about Bob and about his and Paul's friendship, but because you can almost hear Paul speaking as you read it—and you can almost see Bob's reaction (as Paul notes early on, "my friend eschews encomiums," and Paul does his best to tone it down.)
Here's Paul Mielke:
"From 1962 until my retirement in 1985 we enjoyed a continuous conversation wherever we were, his mind always in tune, his sentences sensibly structured with precisely chosen words. It mattered not at all that our teaching methods were disparate—his Socratic, and mine didactic. We enjoyed our differences civilly, with good conversation at the center of our life together."
Paul also joined Bob, for a while, "in his relentless program of physical fitness:
"Robert patiently accommodated me in traversing as many as 3,000 meters a session, always charitably matching my pace."
Paul spoke of "Robert's intense regard for the proper use of language, a characteristic of his that I have most cherished."
And there was music, always a part of Bob Cooley's life:
"Robert and I enjoyed music together. Wendell Calkins conceived the idea of forming a madrigal group, so on Monday evenings a dozen or so of us gathered in the Goodrich Room to sing madrigals. I sat on Robert's right and depended upon him to read the notes, and after a few passes I could do a passable job of matching his unerringly accurate melodic line, though my voice was no match for his."
Paul makes reference to some academic politics on campus, and how his friend Robert's "calm, kindly demeanor, and acerbic wit tided me over several intracollegiate tiffs." He concludes with a quote from Ecclesiasticus, then his own words: "'A faithful friend is the medicine of life.' Robert's has been the medicine of kindness and companionship. May you all enjoy such good medicine as I have had from him."
There will be a celebration of Robert Cooley's life at St. John's Episcopal Church in Crawfordsville on New Year's Day (Saturday, January 1) at 1 p.m., and I'm looking forward to hearing more stories, learning more facets of this truly singular man.
Yesterday Mary Angela and I were talking—about Robert's accidentally flying over a Russian port during the Cold War, among other things. Near the end of our conversation, the subject of her beloved's faith came up. She mentioned that once, when confronted by another man's theology, Bob summarized his own the way he'd heard it summed up in the words of Jesus for years in services at St. John's: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. And the second is like unto it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.'"
It was the first time I learned something about Bob Cooley that didn't surprise me at all.

A fee petition is a written statement signed by a claimant's representative requesting the fee the representative wants to charge and collect for services he or she provided in pursuing the claimant's benefit rights in proceedings before the Social Security Administration (SSA).
SSA presumes that the representative will either file a fee petition or waive his or her fee if the representative does not file a fee agreement before the date SSA makes the first favorable determination or decision (hereinafter, we generally refer to both as a "decision") the representative worked toward achieving.
A representative who elects to use the fee petition process generally files the petition after his or her services in the case have ended. Based on this petition, SSA will authorize a reasonable fee for the specific services provided.
If multiple representatives are involved and the representatives have elected to use the fee petition process, each representative who wants to charge and collect a fee for his or her services must file a separate fee petition. If a representative associates with another representative or co-counsel whom the claimant also appointed, an agreement between or among the two or more representatives about the fee for services does not control SSA's fee authorization.
A representative must file a fee petition to obtain SSA's authorization if any of the following applies:
- The representative and the claimant have no written fee agreement.
- The representative filed a fee agreement, which SSA did not approve.
- The representative filed a fee agreement, which was initially approved, but subsequently, a reviewing official reversed the approval.
- The representative filed a fee agreement which SSA approved and, subsequently, SSA disapproved that agreement because no past-due benefits resulted from the favorable determination or decision.
A representative may not file a fee petition for services in a claim if SSA has approved a fee agreement and has authorized a fee under that approved agreement. The fee agreement and the fee petition processes are not interchangeable.
A representative may petition for fee approval using the Form SSA-1560-U4, Petition to Obtain Approval of a Fee for Representing a Claimant before the Social Security Administration. A representative may also petition for fee approval by providing in writing, all of the following information:
- The dates his or her services began and ended;
- The specific services he or she provided;
- The amount of time spent in each type of service;
- The amount of the fee he or she wants to charge for the services;
- The amount of the fee he or she wants to request or charge for services provided in the same matter before any State or Federal court;
- The amount of money, if any, the representative received toward payment of the fee and has held in a trust or escrow account;
- The amount(s) and a list of any expenses the representative incurred for which he or she has been paid or expects to be paid; and
- A statement affirming that the representative has sent a copy of the petition and any attachments to the claimant.
SSA may request a representative who is not an attorney to furnish a description of the special qualifications which enabled him or her to provide the claimant with valuable help.
A representative who is a legal guardian, committee, conservator, or other State Court appointed representative must also furnish copies of:
- His or her fee request of the court;
- His or her accounting to the court; and
- Either the court's declination to order a fee, or the court's order(s) of fees for his or her services as a legal guardian during the same period in which the representative provided services in proceedings before SSA.
A representative may file a petition for fee approval only after he or she has completed providing services for the claimant or auxiliary beneficiary. A representative whose services have ended may file a fee petition before SSA effectuates a decision.
There is no time limit within which a representative must petition. However, to obtain direct payment of all or part of an authorized fee from withheld title II and/or title XVI past-due benefits, an attorney or non-attorney whom SSA has determined is eligible for direct payment should file the fee petition, or a written notice of intent to petition, within 60 days after the date of the award notice.
The representative must give the claimant a copy of the petition and any attachments before filing the original with the appropriate SSA office.
If the Representative uses the Form SSA-1560-U4, he or she should:
- Send the claimant a copy;
- File the original with the appropriate SSA office; and
- Retain a copy.
Although a representative may file a fee petition at any SSA office, he or she generally files the petition with the office shown below:
- If a court or the Appeals Council issued the decision, the representative sends the petition to:
SSA, Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight
ATTN: Attorney Fee Branch, Suite 805
5107 Leesburg Pike
Falls Church, VA 22041-3255
- If an Administrative Law Judge issued the decision, the representative sends the petition to him or her using the hearing office address.
- In most other cases, the representative sends the petition to the processing center address that appears at the top right of the claimant's title II notices, or in a title XVI only case, to the servicing field office.

v3.0, 12/16/2003, 5:46pm
Home sick today and missed my old FAQs. Updating for 1.10. Someone had to. I
mean, it's only been what, two years since I last touched this document? And
you thought I'd forgotten about it..
Anyway, cleaned up and totally re-did the ToC, stripped useless sections,
re-did the organization of existing ones and added a couple new thanks to
the new v1.10 recipes. Way to go, Blizzard! I love when companies update
older games, too.
v2.0, 08/28/2001, 11:30am
Updating for the 1.09 patch.
Removed the cube bugs section. Added the Rune Upgrade formulae.
v1.4, 07/11/2001, 1:00pm
*Weird* bug added (Unsocketing a rare) and a crash-bug added.
v1.3, 07/09/2001, 11:45pm
Expanded upon the 3PGems + Magical recipe to include Charms.
v1.2.1, 07/08/2001, 11:00pm
Fixed a few formatting errors and added a note about the Resist Gear recipes
not working in the Expansion. Keep an eye on that.
v1.2, 07/06/2001, 5:30pm
I've received two questions as to what an SoJ is, so there's a new section
under Q&A for all you newbie types. :)
v1.1, 07/04/2001, 3:00pm
Formatted everything for posting and submitted to GameFAQs.
v1.0, 07/04/2001, 2:30pm
Is there no good guide that contains info on the Horadric Cube for the Common
Man? I swear, I hate going to sites and wading through their eight different
pages of slop just to find one recipe I need... hence this FAQ.
2. Introduction
Welcome to the D2 Expansion Horadric Cube FAQ. This is another FAQ spawned out
of my unhappiness with other products on the 'net. Hats off to the old
Prophecy team, though most of them got swallowed up by FFXI.
The FAQ has been updated so that it deals strictly with the most current level
of play; that is to say, the D2 Expansion patched to level 1.10. Distinctions
for recipes of lower patch levels have been removed, though I have still
included distinctions for recipes that require a particular character type
to function (as several are Ladder-only, for example).
- Brian
3. Cube Q&A
This section will handle general questions and answers about the Horadric
| 3.1: What is the Cube? Where do I get one? |
The Horadric Cube is a Quest item that you recieve in Act 2. It's a part of
Quest 2 - retrieving the Staff of Kings. You have to cruise down to the Halls
of the Dead and locate the golden chest on the third level in order to get the
Cubes are permanent quest items. You can only ever hold one. You'll keep your
one cube from Act 2 Normal straight on through Act 5 Hell.
| 3.2: What can you do with this Cube? |
The Horadric Cube has four major functions to it. The first is the ability to
do transmutations; changing items into other items.
This function comes into play quite heavily in the Staff of Kings quest in Act
2, and again in the Khalim's Will quest of Act 3. In both cases, you have to
assemble a variety of items, slap them together in the cube, and then
transmute them to come up with the proper quest related item.
Second, transmutation allows you to do some pretty nifty things with normal
items, as the recipes section will show later. :)
Third, the Horadric Cube's transmutation power is used to create Crafted
Items, a new class of item in the D2 Expansion.
And, finally, perhaps the Cube's most important feature ... it's extra stash
space! The Cube can hold 3x4 worth of gear, but when it's closed, it's only
2x2 in size. That's an extra 8 square item spaces to use!! .. okay, so this
isn't as important in the Expansion where they've doubled the Stash size for
us, but still! Space is space. Some people like loading the cube with resist
gear and carrying it wherever they go, so they can switch to it rapidly when
engaging certain kinds of monsters.
| 3.3: Crafted Items? What are those? |
New to the Expansion, Crafted Items are something like Set items you can
create, but without the Set part. When you throw just the right combination of
stuff into the Cube and transmute it, you'll get an item that has certain
preset modifiers (five max) and up to five more random magical prefixes and
suffixes, for some truly powerful gear.
The Cube creates these. Crafted item recipes aren't listed, because there are
way too many, and they're going to get their own FAQ. Look for it on GameFAQs.
| 3.4: A warning about valid recipes.. |
Pay close attention to the documentation below. You'll find that people on
Battle.net are only too happy to give you a hot new Cube recipe that
incorporates a pre-existing one. Example:
Hot New recipe --
3 rings + 2 perfect Rubies + 1 SOJ = Holy Ornate Plate w/ 900+ Defense!
The catch here is that 3 rings by themselves will become 1 amulet. The Cube is
a little piggish - anything extra that happens to be there when a valid
recipe is invoked will be consumed too. So, you'd wind up with one amulet,
having lost two perfect Rubies and a Stone of Jordan. On top of that, the
amulet will probably suck. ;)
Learn your recipes, and be wary of those you hear from others.
| 3.5: Stone of Jordan - Defined |
A couple of people have written in to ask, "What the heck is a Stone of
Jordan, and where do I get one?"
The SoJ is a unique ring. Back in Diablo 2, prior to patch 1.08, it was the
absolute best ring a caster could find. The SoJ packs +1 to All Skills, +25%
mana, and a couple other stats that make it very attractive to casters.
For a long while, the SoJ was the currency by which all other things were
rated in the trading channels. Blinkbat might go for 1 or 2 SoJs; four or five
Perfect Skulls could net you one SoJ.
The reason is because even though they were rare, you could gamble them. All
you needed was the Nagelring and the Manald Heal, the two previous unique
rings, and you could have a shot at gambling the SoJ from Elzix (or your
gambling NPC of choice). People used to horde these things to trade for great
rare gear or specialized uniques that players were abusing, Blinkbat being
the canonical example.
The SoJ recipe exists to give people a way to spend all those spare SoJs,
as now there are lots of ways to get a + to all skills, and high resist rare
rings will be a necessity, due to the modifications to resists on Nightmare
and Hell difficulty.
4. Cube recipes!
| 4.1: Upgrade recipes |
Upgrade recipes convert an existing item into a better version of itself.
How this is achieved varies by the recipe.
___ 4.1.1: Rune upgrades ____________________________________________________
You can upgrade your runes by using one of the below formulae; note that
you'll probably have to patch up and use a certain character type to make the
most of it.
3 El Runes = Eld Rune 2
3 Eld Runes = Tir Rune 3
3 Tir Runes = Nef Rune 4
3 Nef Runes = Eth Rune 5
3 Eth Runes = Ith Rune 6
3 Ith Runes = Tal Rune 7
3 Tal Runes = Ral Rune 8
3 Ral Runes = Ort Rune 9
3 Ort Runes = Thul Rune 10
3 Thul Runes + 1 Chipped Topaz = Amn Rune 11
3 Amn Runes + 1 Chipped Amethyst = Sol Rune 12
3 Sol Runes + 1 Chipped Sapphire = Shael Rune 13
3 Shael Runes + 1 Chipped Ruby = Dol Rune 14
>> v1.10 Single Player, Open, or Ladder character required <<
3 Dol Runes + 1 Chipped Emerald = Hel Rune 15
3 Hel Runes + 1 Chipped Diamond = Io Rune 16
3 Io Runes + 1 Flawed Topaz = Lum Rune 17
3 Lum Runes + 1 Flawed Amethyst = Ko Rune 18
3 Ko Runes + 1 Flawed Sapphire = Fal Rune 19
3 Fal Runes + 1 Flawed Ruby = Lem Rune 20
3 Lem Runes + 1 Flawed Emerald = Pul Rune 21
2 Pul Runes + 1 Flawed Diamond = Um Rune 22
2 Um Runes + 1 Topaz = Mal Rune 23
2 Mal Runes + 1 Amethyst = Ist Rune 24
2 Ist Runes + 1 Sapphire = Gul Rune 25
2 Gul Runes + 1 Ruby = Vex Rune 26
2 Vex Runes + 1 Emerald = Ohm Rune 27
2 Ohm Runes + 1 Diamond = Lo Rune 28
2 Lo Runes + 1 Flawless Topaz = Sur Rune 29
2 Sur Runes + 1 Flawless Amethyst = Ber Rune 30
2 Ber Runes + 1 Flawless Sapphire = Jah Rune 31
2 Jah Runes + 1 Flawless Ruby = Cham Rune 32
2 Cham Runes + 1 Flawless Emerald = Zod Rune 33
___ 4.1.2: Gem upgrades _____________________________________________________
Not too efficient, but sometimes the only way to get better quality gems.
Remember that all 3 gems used in the recipe have to be of the same type; mix
and match doesn't work.
3 Chipped Gems = 1 Flawed Gem
3 Flawed Gems = 1 Normal Gem
3 Normal Gems = 1 Flawless Gem
3 Flawless Gems = 1 Perfect Gem
___ 4.1.3: Equipment upgrades _______________________________________________
1. When converting to a higher item type, the properties of your weapon are
normally kept static; they do not change.
2. When converting a Unique from Normal to Exceptional, or Exceptional to
Elite, note that the Unique itself *does not change*. It's name, it's
properties, any sockets, runes, jewels, etc that you have put in it all
remain the same.
___x___ Only the base item class is upgraded. ___x___
1 Eld Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Weapon = Normal Quality Weapon
Upgrades useless weapon types to standard weapon types. ilvl=1.
1 El Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Armor = Normal Quality Armor
1 Ort Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal Rare Weapon
= Exceptional Rare Weapon
1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Rare Armor
= Exceptional Rare Armor
1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon
= Elite Rare Weapon
1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor
= Elite Rare Armor
1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon
= Exceptional Version of Weapon
1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor
= Exceptional Version of Armor*
>> v1.10 Ladder Character required <<
1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon
= Elite Version of Weapon
1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor
= Elite Version of Armor
___ 4.1.4: Equipment repairs ________________________________________________
A note: Ethereal equipment can't be repaired by any means known to man. These
recipes won't help you there. :)
1 Ort Rune + Weapon = Fully Repaired Weapon
1 Ral Rune + Armor = Fully Repaired Armor
Have skills that use charges? We've got you covered.
1 Ort Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Weapon = Fully Repaired and Recharged Weapon
1 Ral Rune + 1 Flawed Gem + Armor = Fully Repaired and Recharged Armor
___ 4.1.5: Adding sockets to an item ________________________________________
Some of these recipes respawn the item itself, forcing a re-roll of all it's
stats and modifiers. Pay careful attention to the listing to figure out which
is which. Don't lose items you love.
Adding a single socket to a Rare item:
3 Perfect Skulls + 1 Stone of Jordan + 1 Rare = Sockets that particular rare
Adds one socket. Does not respawn the item, unlike other recipes.
Spawning a normal item of the same type, with sockets:
1 Tal + 1 Thul + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor = Socketed Body Armor
Spawns a socketed armor. 1-6 sockets, restricted by item class.
1 Ral + 1 Amn + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon = Socketed Weapon
Spawns a socketed weapon. 1-6 sockets, restricted by item class.
1 Ral + 1 Thul + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm = Socketed Helm
Spawns a socketed helm. 1-6 sockets, restricted by item class.
1 Tal + 1 Amn + 1 Perfect Ruby + Normal Shield = Socketed Shield
Spawns a socketed shield. 1-6 sockets, restricted by item class.
Spawning a magic item with new properties, adding sockets:
3 Normal Gems + 1 Normal Socketed Weapon = 1 Socketed Magic Weapon
Spawns a magical, socketed weapon. ilvl=30, 1-2 sockets.
3 Chipped Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
Spawns a magical, socketed weapon. ilvl=25, 1-2 sockets.
3 Flawless Gems + 1 Magic Weapon = Socketed Magic Weapon
Spawns a magical, socketed weapon. ilvl=30, 1-2 sockets.
___ 4.1.6: Removing sockets from an item ____________________________________
If you use this recipe, not only are the sockets totally stripped from
whatever gear you're working with -- the runes or jewels that were in those
sockets are destroyed as part of the process. But it's useful if you want to
re-cast an item's sockets, or just really wanna change how one works.
1 Hel Rune + Scroll of Town Portal + Any Socketed Item = Unsocket that item
| 4.2: Respawn recipes |
Respawn recipes are the ones that generate new items out of items you already
have in your inventory. Most of these have been around for quite awhile. The
item level of a respawned item is almost always directly related to the level
of both the item you put in and the level of your character; trying to spawn
a godlike amulet on your Lvl20 Barbarian with crap you picked up off the
ground in Normal just isn't going to work out for you.
___ 4.2.1: Spawning new magical items _______________________________________
Do yourself a favor, and don't use perfect skulls for these.
3 Amulets = 1 Ring
3 Rings = 1 Amulet
3 P.Gems + 1 magical item = Another magical item of the same type.
By `another magical item of the same type`, I really mean just that -- this
recipe works for respawning new rings, amulets, jewels, charms, weapons,
armors, throwing weapons, absolutely anything that is blue and thus magical.
___ 4.2.2: Spawning new rare items __________________________________________
Skulls get used up here, and for good reason; respawning rares is sometimes
more profitable than gambling. Not usually, though. :)
1 Perfect Skull + 1 Stone of Jordan + 1 Rare = High Quality Rare (same type)
ilvl of spawn = (66% of your cLvl) + (66% of the ilvl of the rare)
This recipe was added to give people with 40 SoJs something to do with them.
Most people are going to have to abandon SoJs in favor of resists, now that
Hell difficulty runs at -100 to all resistances.
If you're cLvl80 and the item is ilvl60,
ilvl of spawn = (52) + (39) = ilvl 91. Percentages always round down.
6 Perfect Skulls + 1 Rare = Low Quality Rare (same type)
ilvl of spawn = (40% cLvl) + (40% iLvl)
Same example as above would give ilvl 56. Percentages always round down.
| 4.3: The Resist Gear recipes |
So, Hell is beating you down and you need a way to fight back? Low
resistances leading directly to your deaths and experience loss? This is the
place for you.
6 P. Gems (non-skull) + Amulet = Prismatic (16-25% Resist All) Amulet
1 Ring + 1 P. Emerald + 1 Antidote = 1 Jade Ring (Poison Resist)
1 Ring + 1 P. Ruby + 1 Exploding p. = 1 Garnet Ring (Fire Resist)
1 Ring + 1 P. Sapphire + 1 Thawing p. = 1 Cobalt Ring (Cold Resist)
1 Ring + 1 P. Topaz = 1 Coral Ring (Lightning Resist)
The level of resistance on the rings will always be random, 21-30%.
| 4.4: The Potion recipes |
Pick up all the mana potions and chipped gems you see, and use them to create
rejuvs. Rejuvs are the bread and butter of the high level player, as they heal
life and magic instantly, where typical potions take precious seconds to fill
your bar back up. Nothing quite like a good rejuv potion for a boss fight.
In the recipes below, the quality of the Health potions, and Mana potions is
irrelevant; so minor potions and some time can lead to Full Rejuvenation!
The Gem mentioned in the third recipe must be a Normal Gem.
1 Health Potion + 1 Strangling Gas potion = 1 Antidote Potion
3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions = 1 Partial Rejuvination Potion
3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions + 1 Gem = 1 Full Rejuvenation Potion
3 Partial Rejuvenation Potions = 1 Full Rejuvenation Potion
| 4.5: Weapon Creation recipes |
___ 4.5.1: Weapon recipes ___________________________________________________
Nothing good to say here; these recipes are near useless. Technically a rare
long sword could be used for that last recipe... but god, why?
1 Diamond + 1 Staff + 1 Kris + 1 Belt = 1 Savage Bardiche
1 Magical Small Shield + 1 Spiked Club + 2 Skulls = Small Shield of Spikes
3 Chipped Gems + 1 Sword = 1 Socketable Long Sword
4 Health Potions + 1 Ruby + 1 Magical Long Sword = Long Sword of the Leech
___ 4.5.2: Throwing Weapon and Ammo recipes _________________________________
For all those times when shops just aren't selling arrows. Or javelins.
... yeah.
2 Quivers of Arrows = 1 Quiver of Bolts
2 Quivers of Bolts = 1 Quiver of Arrows
1 Axe + 1 Dagger = One stack of Throwing Axes
1 Spear + 1 Quiver of arrows = 1 stack of Javelins

What do you do with a failed politician?
In Lafourche Parish, the answer is that you give him a cushy public job and sic him on the parish president.
What do you do with a failed politician?
In Lafourche Parish, the answer is that you give him a cushy public job and sic him on the parish president.
That was the plan that put Tommy Lasseigne — onetime parish councilman and failed parish presidential candidate — at the helm of the parish's Legislative Internal Auditor department.
Lasseigne, who spent much of his brief term on the council sparring with Parish President Charlotte Randolph and working to sabotage the parish administration, is now the chief watchdog looking over Randolph's shoulder.
While people of goodwill can certainly differ on whether the parish needs a person double-checking the parish president, no one of goodwill can think that Lasseigne is the right person for the job.
Lasseigne got this job after twice being rebuffed by voters in unsuccessful bids to unseat Randolph — not what anyone of goodwill might call an objective observer. Yet there he is.
It's bad enough that the self-serving members of the Parish Council have set the stage for a legislative auditor with a vendetta against the parish president.
It's as though these folks have nothing better to do than to expose the parish to scorn and derision by building an automatic conflict into the highest offices in Lafourche.
Ah, bet there are more things they have in mind.
Apparently, the council is unconvinced that Lasseigne will do his job. Or maybe the members just want to make sure that whatever Lasseigne does, there is still conflict and shenanigans aplenty.
So the council a few weeks ago went through the process of designing yet another job, this one a clerk for Mr. Lasseigne. The new clerk would be trusted with overseeing all the parish's federal grant programs.
Never mind that the administration already oversees those programs.
And never mind that hiring a clerk — to the tune of $48,000 plus benefits and expenses — would be a colossal waste of the taxpayers' money for no reason other than a shameless attempt to embarrass Randolph and the parish administration.
And never mind that part of the money to hire the clerk would be taken from the very grants the council purportedly wants to protect, thereby lessening the amount of money that can be spent on the people the grants are supposed to be helping.
No, despite these things and more, the council majority was bent on going ahead with this numb-skulled plan to hire yet another person to work against the administration.
Then, miraculously, a bit of common sense was injected into the debate.
District Attorney Cam Morvant II told the council that the job description for the new clerk post was so poorly written that it would almost assuredly amount to a violation of the Home Rule Charter.
That alone has never been enough to dissuade a Parish Council. But it was enough to shake loose the coalition of votes that was supporting the proposal.
I guess we should be thankful for small blessings.
We should also, though, stay on top of what these folks are doing with our tax money.
They think nothing of tossing away tens of thousands of dollars on stupid plans such as this auditor clerk.
Fortunately, this latest plot didn't make it far enough for the council to actually hire someone or even to name the person some of its members no doubt had in mind for the job.
They would have had to outdo themselves by doing even worse than Lasseigne, but the Parish Council over many years has shown a remarkable capacity to do ever worse than it has already done.
I cringe at what might be next on this crowd's to-do list.

This might be to little to late, but for those still watching the ENP I have posted a presentation on my site available for download in PDF form about everything we have watched over the years. If the ENP is the deal, sites like this will be shut down very soon, so it might be good to have a copy of events that lead up to today available to share.
And if the ENP is not it, it will be a good memorabilia of what we have watched over the years.
I am not the author of this presentation, but the author wishes not to be linked with it by name as it is the words that is important and not the man behind the words. I will honor his request.

Add the namespace disused: as a prefix to all keys which are no longer relevant to the current state of an object. You should treat all the tags on an object as a set of facts about the object, and prefix the keys of those facts which are no longer true as a result of the disuse. For example, a concrete parking area which is no longer used for parking cars but which still carries a name sign might be tagged as
which makes it unavailable to programs which find parking, and unlikely to be displayed as parking in any default renderings. The name is still relevant, and will still be searchable. If the area is opened up again, it's a simple matter to undo the prefixing.
|A closed-down shop of some sort. If the type of shop it used to be is known, substitute the appropriate value from shop for yes.
disused:operator=The Oxford Pub Company
name=Fox & Hounds
|Boarded-up disused public house. It no longer has an operator as such - no beer is sold - but the name is still useful for navigation.
|Historic railway line. Tracks not degraded but overgrown.
|Disused pitch, now somewhat overgrown.
Former use (as a simple tag)
|Using this namespace as a simple tag is now strongly discouraged. Use it as a lifecycle prefix instead.
Using disused=yes' as a simple tag is deprecated, but there are many uses of it in the database still. It was used for the same purpose as described above, but the syntax was unhelpful because automated consumers of the data would have had to be rewritten. This, in practice, does not happen. The former notes still apply:
- Some disused features will be tagged in the database as disused=yes. The addition of this tag implies lots of things about the general level of human activity present in and around the object, but by itself isn't sufficient to describe the object's status consistently. To make the tags internally consistent:
- You must also make any tags which no longer have current meaning as a result of the disuse unavailable to software which doesn't know about the disused=yes tag. This can be done by prefixing their keys with the namespace disused: — see the examples above.
Updating older tagging
Uses of the simple tag should ideally be updated as follows:
|Older scheme (deprecated)
|Intermediate scheme (discouraged)
|Current scheme (recommended)
